a kindergarten reportedly being damaged live now to ortiz roman cause to have joined us from the scene of one of the attacks roman. what can you tell us about the latest shelling and what's the situation like on the ground there? all the city of the nest was shell throughout the day on saturday, and this is just one of many places that were damaged. this is a civilian area right in the center of the city wall, according to local authorities. at least 50 rounds of martin multiple rocket launchers had been used against civilians. here, as you can see, behind me, a cars had been damaged. there were on fire on saturday nights, right behind the cars is a kindergarten is just one of the one kindergarten was damaged and for schools as well all around me, you can see this is a residential area very heavily populated. this is one of those around for

multiple rocket launchers. that land is right in the center of this area where only civilians live. none of mind you, none of the military infrastructure was damaged during the shutting on saturday night. the shelling took place around 9 pm where most of the people were already in the home, and luckily no one was killed here. only 2 people have been wounded, but during the day on the 4th of june, at least 5 civilians were killed both here in the nest cans in nevada and girl as well. and at least 20 people were wounded. and so the total amount of people that were killed civilians that were killed by ukrainian shilling since the beginning of the special military operation amounts to more than the $140.00 people after 9 pm on saturday nights the ground here was shaking internet. can this area in

particular, it hasn't seen a lot of damage since the conflict began back in 2014. and of course residents here are absolutely outrage your mind you. the front line of the fighting at the moment is right on the outskirts of the next can. the civilians are afraid that this is not the last time that they will be targeted by the ukrainian military or a month. thank you very much for the latest on us shelling and done. yes, i thought these roman casa reporting live from the dancer public. thank you. early a cruise from r t c and reuters were hit by ukrainian artillery fi on the outskirts of the city of 7 are done yet on friday. ok of us so far, not commented on the incident, but our corresponding eagerness done of was one of the cause targets it ah gaudy.

ah, we're just about to move into the town of several dynette sk again. this is the latest town that 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 civilians. 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 ackman battalion we were moving. where 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 has around us, so there was no cause for alerts. after all, 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 hit. 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 has 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 it was the town of i sever a de next and they were trying actively trying to head our cars. it wasn't like they was shelling the general area we were with their target. and so well they succeeded a full ma gsa to the ukrainian artillery artillery spa says, and those who pulled the plug, pulled the trigger. they did manage to to john less so the european news agency, reuters in the cross has and they successfully had their vehicle in his 1st

full interview since the start of the war in ukraine president vladimir putin said the russian military was successfully targeting u. s. army supplies in ukraine, they also commented on pressing issues such as global inflation and green shortages . the unused michelle, we are witnessing attempts to shift the blame for the current problems on the global food markets under 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 fall out from the pandemic. secondly, is the short sighted energy policy of european countries. and 1st and foremost, the commission is to blame. and 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 to day, 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 your fish and put your russia is also being blamed for the grain shortage, which is actually in stock, but is allegedly blocked by russia and ukrainian ports. and the blue able but it's a bluff 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. it's just 2.5 percent. given that weed accounts for 20 percent of the global food production output overall, according to the un, 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 lane minds in the ports. it's ukraine. i've already proposed many, and sir, do you mind them? we are ready to insure 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 fight it's human rights commission. in part for spreading unverified information about atrocities she'll alleged were committed by russian troops. whomever comes out. her claims were widely covered by western media with top political figures. picking up on her statements, our senior correspondent reg as dea, takes a closer look at the story which includes some disturbing accusations. day, a nice week sod 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, repeatedly in front of their mother's or repeat bathing their mothers and friends or children with each day more and more credible reports of re killing st. torture, our merchant zone should yield hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded, including under age girls, very young children and even a baby. it's just 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 analysis 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 and the government stopped

taking them seriously. they became an embarrassment. so ludicrous were some of the argo. the woman behind these stories, new neela 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 ombudsman 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 is in 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 dial it down. that the graphic stories published by ha about 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. all 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 raped claims. se ukrainian journalists are without evidence or witnesses. the spot 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 lie. 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. naturally, the niece of a has been blind to verify reports and footage of ukrainian troops murdering, torturing and mutilating russian prisoners of war and even ukrainian civilians deemed to be pro russia. don't get the human rights apparently. but these 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 to outrageous. care has suggested the new u. s. rocket systems center. the country could in future have

a range up to 300 kilometers. and let's, despite the pentagon, said it will only deliver rockets limited to 80 kilometers. you took machine or do you remember how this war started when, but 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 stingers. there could be no talk on artillery and yet western artillery has now been received. so where the radius is 80 kilometers 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 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 by did administration said it had agreed to supply rockets with a maximum range of only 80 kilometers. but if the 300 kilometer claim is true,

that would put the russian border city of brianna within range. as you can clearly see on this map and volunteers will ends could also be at risk. now russia has repeatedly warned off consequences if such weapons are used to targets russia. however, key of promised that the weapons won't be used to strike russia, that's according to the pentagon, where the u. s. and void ukraine state of washington couldn't control the exact range of this applied systems. as president biden announced yesterday, a 700000000 security assistance package had been signed. this includes humorous, long range, rocket systems. this will help your green in forces to a more accurately, but also have a longer range. the exact range will be determined by the ukrainian forces. right, an activist sara found is 5th new long range us rocket launchers, heading to ukraine, will create a dangerous situation for the whole region. from the very beginning, every stage of this war, it's a 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, po, c, a ross, 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 well, all dot coms as concern is growing in the u. s. over washington's ongoing military packages to keep the pentagon recently so that he has little control over how you can use it and distribute those weapons. brisk 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 when we have increasingly concerns voices at this point about the amount of weaponry and the amount of money that's being sent to ukraine. elizabeth warren is the latest to speak up, but us, senator. the u. s. government is sending billions and humanitarian, economic and military assistance to help the ukrainian people overcome,

put in 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 sen ran paul republican and we have a bipartisan call at this point for a, an inspector general to look into the dispensing of farms and weapon from the united states to ukraine. make sure they're falling into the right hand courting 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 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 enlisted small arms and ammunition in ukraine. the diversion of 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 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, people are looking over the record. what happened in theory and what happened in iraq, what happened in afghanistan, and how so many of us weapon have ended up in the hands of terrorists, extreme as at narco 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 to the canadian journalists covering rushes operation in ukraine. us found a so if a kid based name and shame websites, it loads information on people considered to be enemies of ukraine, decides has published a slew of accusations against even bartlett participation in the informational, special operation of russia, an aggressive country and terrorists against the crate informational supports of

the open military attack of fascist russia on ukraine encroachments on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the crate. accomplice in the crimes of the russian authorities against ukraine and its citizens. my call unit o'neill earlier spoke with eva who says she doesn't believe the canadian government will take her aside or provide any protection. so in this case, an independent journalist of maverick media did reach out to me week ago and they were quite concerned. they took this issue very seriously. the fact that a canadian citizen is on effectively a kill list. and so they did interview me and they said in the context of the interview that they would be reaching out to canadian media. and i believe starting a petition. and they did inquire if i was going to reach out to the canadian embassy to which i said, you know, essentially there's no point. i already know where i stand with the canadian government. i don't believe that candidate, whatever support me does by the dangers even now faces canadian mainstream media

outlets have been silent on the matter of her addition to what some consider a kill list. she shared her experience have been exposed to such that unless behind bio government i don't believe for a moment that the canadian government would protect me from any of these. these alternation less ex, from 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 don bass 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. you did not 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, 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. i'm continuing to report and that's not going to work with me just like the smears had been lodged against me since late 2016. the intent with the smears is also to just just credit my name and to frighten me and to not speaking our writing, and that that simply won't work. i won't live in here in the news this week.

india's foreign minister hits buckets, western accusations of the country has been indecisive about choosing sides in ukrainian conflicts as was hoping fundable by purchasing russian oil country stock . diplomats also pointed to the european american hypocrisy on the issue. tell me buying russian gas is not funding double. i'm unwise. he is only indian money and oil coming to india, which funds, what is smart gas coming to europe, which what if countries in europe and the west and the united church, us focus on why don't they allow iranian oil to come into the market? why don't the la venzano oil to come into the market live squeezed every other source of oil we have and then say ok guys, you must not go into the market and get the best deal for your people. i don't think that's very fair to prove that you use recent decisions phase out. most russian, oil imports loopholes to get around. the embargo seems to be already underway. it comes as indian refineries emerge as a hub, forgetting russian energy products to the global markets. r t ticketing has more,

lots i in short, fine, he's like this one behind me enjoying the war in pain began. india was in 14000 barrels a day from russia. this number has now shot up to $800000.00 barrels per day, which is an increase of $2600.00 a year when it is improving. so even sanctions in union, in both included inside the u. s.

and europe, i figured i don't all the thank you, it's the invoice you don't to shipping company, not 30 fine, which is coming from a b, b, ocean us many a with enjoy. for example, in a recent article in the us,

it said that it would only become a great fight if it down to washington. of course, you have to look at the smaller print to see that the author did it, you know, put things down. who's doing? because donors on the defense company, not human, a little one down today, warranty, india, or site, that would be another a military complex trying to run. it seems that the best a nation i'm using india, it's all a bit dr. again, as a bit, not sure why i don't, i don't know. yeah, yes. you know, i think, yeah, i mean, i know that, but of course, since it's not convenient to explain these contradictions, you can bet that western media and politicians will focus on getting to shame india,

but it's gotten policy decisions as some of the biggest stories that shape the week a on, on international, from, on any of them do head over all websites, all the dot com. i just got, finally back again with o. u. s. a in pushy. russia is the situation and a, but that was not, excuse exactly, you know, all the for sure. you have now after iraq afghanistan strategy

with a huge they want to do other countries to fight their war. we can, with a new thought. oh, you mean you can leave a killer on the initial be wonderful up a can use to put value a new one unit. you did or change by y'all as to what to done those a such as like going to thought that i'm going to be just

a bit. i would do what i see the student both his dog little q lation says a dumb boss with a go to task issue. i haven't got so much more much more with good us preschool going for several weeks successful russian entrepreneur. you are eva gunner has been moving humanitarian cargo to the people who don't boss from moscow. and he's been doing it at his own expense. he, in a group of like minded volunteers, deliver it to where it's most needed in the region. a lot of people like me a lot.
