on the area shows the selling shelling of the capital of done yes on saturday evening authorities there. so you credit forces fight dozens of missiles using grad launches. video shows residential buildings in done yet severely damaged by the attack with many nearby vehicles completely destroyed. local residents claim to building an area where hits by multiple times a month with one of the most of the machine to put a little bit more. a little mobile assures to really do phone

records that he has has been on the fire throughout the day on saturday. the aftermath of the shelling that hits multiple areas, including 4 schools, buildings and a kindergarten lived out to ortiz roman cause to have join us from done yet. robert, what else do we know about the latest shelling? what is the situation on the ground now? well we can still, i hear the sounds of artillery here in the center of the nest can did nothing year . we've been here and it's almost on a daily basis over the last 3 months. but on a saturday evening, just after 9 pm, the ground was shaking. here in the center of the nest gets one area that's rarely i hit by ukrainian artillery. mind you the front line, ferris's right on the outskirts of done as so. ukrainian army is very,

very close. indeed. and they've been showing the city of the past 8 years. but it intensified all the last 3 months. and on saturday, over 50 rounds of our multiple rocket launchers, land, and right here in this sensor. as the result throughout the day, at least 5 people have been killed. and that's when the one that, that's not just and done, there's because that same goal of as well, which is about 50 kilometers away from here. and it's also on the front line. now, multiple houses in apartment buildings. private residences have been hit. they caught on fire also, according to the local authorities. at least 4 schools and one kindergarten was struck as well during the evening attack. as i understand, they had only been wounded people. but like i said, throughout the day at least 5 had been killed, which brings

a total amount of people killed of the last 3 months to at least a $140.00 archie correspondent, roman call serve reporting live from the dentist for public. thanks very much, that updates roemer earlier r t cruz androids. his crews were hit by ukrainian artillery fire on the outskirts of the city of civil done yet on friday. give us so far, not commented on the incidents. our correspondent eagerness donna was in one of the cars targeted ah ah, we're just about to move into the town of several denette sk again. this is the latest town there was liberated and captured by the russian. and the la guns people's armies are here in dwelling little ganske people's republic as we were about to move into and drive into the town. we were caught amid a shelling. there were 2 vehicles,

both civilian the 1st one there was there were our colleagues with the reuters news agency behind the wheel. a soldier with the acme, with the chechen act my battalion, we were moving, we were the 2nd vehicle following them. so again, both cars, a civilian, and so 1st we heard a couple of shells. a couple of shells landed a good few doesn't meet his around us. so there was no cause for a lot of rule. this is a war zone. so these things they happen. the 3rd one caught the very 1st vehicle, the one moving in front of us. we did see it. apparently it was a direct head. we saw a bright flash, the vehicle tipped over to the side and it was and it caught on fire was get caught a blaze. so are the driver, the soldier he died instantly right there and well a to the 2 of the reuters crew all of them, they were injured. luckily, nothing serious. one of them as a broken arm and another was wounded in the legs. and i just want to stress and point out that are well, obviously the ukrainians,

they've saw us. they saw that there were 2 civilian vehicles going towards a towards the town of i sever a de nets and they were trying actively trying to hit our cars. it wasn't like they was shelling the general area. we were with that target and so well they succeeded a full ma gsa to the ukranian artillery artillery sports as and those who pulled the plug, pulled the trigger. they did manage to, to jan less. so the european news agency, reuters in the crosshairs, and they successfully had their vehicle in his 1st full interview since the start of the conflicts in ukraine, president putin said the russian military, it was successfully targeting us arms supplies to ukraine. it was the coincidence that pressing issues as global inflation and green shortages, the initial initial freedom, we are witnessing attempts to shift the blame for the current problems on the global food markets on to russia. i should know, as common wisdom says,

it is an attempt to turn everything upside down. first of all, it's neither yesterday nor with the launch of the special military operation in ukraine. that the situation in the sector has been getting worse. it's been so since the end of february 2020, during the struggle with the fallout from the pandemic. secondly, is the short sighted energy policy of european countries. and 1st and foremost, the commission is to blame. i personally think that many political forces, both in america and europe, have begun to exploit people's legitimate concerns about climate change to promote the green agenda at 1st sight, it all looks good. however, it's not okay that they've started to give in competent groundless recommendations regarding further actions in the energy sector. overestimating the capacity of alternative energy sources, which are not enough today what downplaying conventional once in the form of hydrocarbons. it's all lead to a lack of investment in the global energy sector and subsequently to inflation for

his with russia is also being blamed for the grain shortage, which is actually in stock, but is allegedly blocked by russia in ukrainian ports. the blue hey look, it's a bless globally around 800000000 tons of grain are produced on an annual basis. we're being told that ukraine is now ready to provide 20000000 tons for export. compared to the global output is just 2.5 percent. given that we'd accounts for 20 percent of the global food production output overall, according to the u. n, it means that ukraine's contribution is point 5 percent. it's just nothing. when it comes to its export, we're not impeding it. there are a number of export routes. there are ports which are under ukraine's control. first of all, in odessa and other adjacent ports in the black sea. it's not us land mines in the ports. it's ukraine. i have already proposed many times to demand them. we are ready to ensure security. we're not going to take advantage of the situation to launch attacks from the sea. so there are no problems regarding the export of grain

there to put them. ukraine's fired it's human rights commissioner impart for spreading unverified information about the trustee she alleged were committed by russian troops or removal comes after her claims were widely covered by western media with top political figures. picking up on her statements, our senior correspondent rod gasdio takes a closer look at the story which includes some disturbing accusations. day and night, weeks on end, month after month. the world over was barraged with stories horrific stories of rape and unspeakable acts committed, allegedly by russian forces in ukraine in such acts of violence, raping children little girls, 11 years old, repeated lay in front of their mother's or repeat bagging their mothers and failing the children. will each day more and more credible reports of rape

killings, torture, or emerging influence with you? hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded, including under age girls, very young children and even a baby. it's just a scary to talk about it. but it's true. it happened, women and girls right now are facing the worst kind of fear and violence. and we know already i'm from the analyses that have been done. they've been the victims of not just murder and rape by kidnapping. many of these stories grew to be unbelievable. and that's not a figure of speech. people including ukrainian officials in the government, stop taking them seriously. they became an embarrassment. so ludicrous was some of the ago. the woman behind these stories demila denise of a, who was ironically, ukraine's human rights commissioner was fired a year before her term was officially up the unclear focus of the on buds men's

media work on the numerous details of sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way. and rape of children in the occupied territories that could not be confirmed by evidence, only harmed ukraine. her stories became so ridiculous that even members of the ukrainian media, which, which itself isn't war propaganda mode intervened. 18. i'm journalists together with 51 lawyers and human rights activists, and others penned an open let cooling on her to darla down that the graphic stories published by hubbard months. old douglas being raped with a variety of objects to royal up the people that this was a productive or, you know, decent sexual crimes during the war or a tragedy of families. a difficult and traumatic topic. not a topic for publications in the spirit of the scandalous chronicle. we are forced to trust the official information that comes from officials in a state of martial law

a priori. we do not have the opportunity to verify it from other sources. in this way, we are spreading messages from the commissioner for human rights, in fact, taking them on faith, a centrally. they asked that the stick to things that actually happened. lot of these stories can be tracked back to denisa and that seem most specifically the social media posts made by them. and that's where all the trailed stop, almost all of her rape claims. se ukrainian journalists are without evidence or witnesses, despite her own less than honest approach. denise, her has been a vocal proponent for an international criminal tribunal to apparently bring russian troops to justice for things that she had. ly, the bath, i think we should look at yugoslavia and rolanda. these are the examples that we all know about. there is the un international court of justice and the international criminal court. we need to push for the creation of a special tribunal laterally. the niece of

a has been blind to verify reports and footage of ukrainian troops murdering, torturing and mutilating brushing prisoners of war and even ukrainian civilians deemed to be pro russia. don't get the human rights apparently, but it is telling, isn't it? when you own politicians who are bent themselves on making the russians seem as terrible as possible, that they fly for being simply too outrageous. ah, give suggested the new us rocket system center, the country could in future have a range up to 300 kilometers. now, despite the pants again, saying this will only deliver rockets limited limited to 80 kilometers political question. do you remember how this was started when they were afraid to give us extra sting is extra javelins? they said it was a precedent, they could never set. and now there are a lot of them, the sting is there could be no talk on artillery and yet western artillery has now

been received. so where the radius is 80 kilometer is there, you see it will be 300 kilometers. crimea is ours. it's ukrainian, therefore we will show crimea swiftly if there is such a need. this is considered strategic russian territory. and the fact that we hit crimea during the war. that was a little secret. and now just for some background to the story, washington early agreed to send a new $700000000.00 military, a package to ukraine, including a number of advanced rocket launchers. the bowden administration said he's had agreed to supply rockets with a maximum range of 80 kilometers. both of the $300.00 comments claim is true that would put the russian border city of brians within range. as you can clearly see on this map, volunteers and small ins would also be at risk. now russia has repeatedly warned of consequences if such weapons are used to targets russia, where the key of promised that the weapons won't be used to strike russia. according to the pentagon, where the u. s. envoy to ukraine state of washington couldn't control the exact

range of the supplied systems. as president biden announced yesterday, a 700000000 security assistance package had been signed. this includes humours, long range, rocket systems. this will help your green and forces to a more accurately, but also have a longer range. the exact range will be determined by the ukrainian forces. right to an activist, sarah flounder says the new long range us rocket launch is heading to ukraine. would create a dangerous situation for the whole region. from the very beginning, every stage of this war its proxy why ukraine has no independence whatsoever. proxy means public. and it's a u. s. it's pulling the strings in every pronouncement, but this will not change the military balance, no matter how many weapons are sent, at least so far,

by every measure. the russian military response has been consolidating the games and don bos, perio pro, fee of arise and so on. it's a very dangerous things, and it does show how, how much the u. s. is willing to escalate the war to more and more dangerous dimensions. but i don't think it will change the military balance of forces within the ukraine. ukraine is not doing very well in this war, despite all the grand pronouncements. but the danger of these weapon staying in region is enormous. it's enormous for all the possibilities of future peace and it should be clearly denounced and these weapons should be destroyed. hopefully they will be that comes as concern is growing in the u. s. over washington. relentless, a packages to key of some are asking well,

this military aid will eventually end up. as all these kellen moore been explains, you are sending billions of dollars across the planet. we want to make sure it went into the hands of those you intended to send it to you. however, despite getting reassurances from ukraine, the pentagon admit they don't really have a full proof plan about who will receive what's being sent to ukraine. risk of diversion is one of many considerations that we routinely assess when evaluating any potential arms transfer. ukrainian leadership have assured us that they understand the importance of accountability. we're not on the ground with them . and they're not telling us, you know, every round of ammunition that they're firing in, at who and at when we have increasingly concerns voices at this point about the amount of weaponry and the amount of money that's being sent. ukraine. elizabeth warren is the latest to speak up the u. s. senator. the u. s. government ascending billions and humanitarian, economic and military assistance to help the ukrainian people overcome putin's

brutal war. and the american people expect strong oversight by congress and full accounting from the department of defense. elizabeth warren has started speaking up and she's joined us senator rand paul, a republican and we have a bipartisan call at this point for a, an inspector general to look into the dispensing of funds and weapons from the united states to ukraine. make sure they're falling into the right hands. this is some of the letter that was put forward by both democrats and republicans, expressing their concerns. the sheer magnitude and speed at which the federal government is sending aid calls for robust oversight in terms of both spending and monitoring its use. as such, lawmakers should be working to ensure that there are guardrails on these enormous spending. packages such oversight would ensure that the billions of dollars that the u. s. is sending arrives in the hands of its intended recipients and does not inadvertently line the pockets of war profiteers who are seeking to use this war to

enrich themselves. according to the global organized crime index published in 2021 ukraine as one of the largest illegal weapons markets of any country in the world. and ily as at least any country in europe and illegally traffic weapons are all across ukraine. this is what's been reported. there are 2 primary sources of elicit small arms and ammunition in ukraine. the diversion domestic holdings and cross border trafficking weapons from eastern ukraine are becoming an important supply source for the black market. and there been examples of this already. one of the prime weapons used by the i'd states and exported by the states around the world, the javelin, has apparently been up for sale, illegally costing around $30000.00. and at this point, we were looking over the record what happened in syria? what happened in iraq, what happened in afghanistan, and how so many us rap? and i've ended up in the hands of terrorists extremists that norco gangs and

criminal elements. there are some pretty legitimate concerns here as more and more us money and more and more us heavy weaponry is set to be delivered. gene gray a canadian journalist cover in russia's operation in ukraine has found itself out to a kid based name and shame websites. it's loads information on people considered to be enemies of ukraine. the size is published a slew of accusations against eva bartlett. participation in the informational, special operation of russia, an aggressive country and terrorists against ukraine. informational support of the open military attack of fascists, russia on ukraine, encroachments on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. accomplice in the crimes of the russian authorities against ukraine and its citizens. my colleague unit o'neill earlier spoke with eva who says she doesn't believe the canadian government will take her side or provide any protection to her. in this case, the independent journalist of maverick media did reach out to me week ago and they

were quite concerned. they take this issue very seriously. the fact that a canadian citizen is on effectively a kill list. and so they, they did interview me and they said in the context of the interview that they would be reaching out to the media. and i believe starting a petition and they did inquire if i was going to reach out to the canadian embassy in kev to which i said, you know, essentially there's no point. i hardly know where i stand with the canadian government. i don't believe that candidate would ever support me just about the dangers even now faces canadian, mainstream media outlets have been silent on the matter of her addition to what some considered to be a kill list. she showed her experience of being exposed to such threats and left behind by her own government. i don't believe for a moment that the canadian government would protect me from any of these. these alternation less extra types that would seek to harm me because they see me as

a threat to their country. a cbc journalist has been trying to reach out to me, saying that he would like to interview me on, on my work in the dumbass and on my participation in an international tribunal on ukrainian war crimes in moscow. in early april i think it was. now what i'd like to say about that is, i don't believe for a moment cbc would ever give me a fair hearing on their platform. they are canadian state funded media. they do the bidding of the canadian government and the corporate interests. he did not at once point in his email mention, you know, he's appalled by the fact that i'm listed on this kill list. he didn't say anything about it, but clearly he seen it. that's the only way in my mind that he could have been aware of my participation in this tribunal. so cbc is white washing the cranes kill list. and instead seeking to inflame the fact that i participated in a panel that right lee calls out you cranes for crimes against the people of it on bass. will your work and reporting be affected by your addition to that site?

i know i look, i can't live in fear, i won't live in here. i will take precautions. of course, when i'm reporting, but this is the thing they, they want to prevent people from. they want to scare people from continuing to report and that's not going to work with me just like the smears that have been launched against me since late 2016. the intent with the mares is also to just just credit my name and to frighten me and to not speaking or writing and that that's something won't work. i won't live in here. so those are some of the stories, the shape, the we care on. archie international mon is peter scott's on the be back again at the top of the hour with another member. ah,

a border with my luck and you live muscles. if you look on the initial, be one of club not to get a really want to be off, can use the but by you and you do do or change. but you also still with the done a, what i see the student bus is the little gear motivation. says use a gun, bob, a in pushy, russia in this situation, and 8, but that was not a huge factor. you know,
