good to fight their war with ah, they can use here on, on the 5 civilians are killed by ukrainian shelling and the done. yes, the people's republic, according to local officials, we report from the scene all around the you can see this is a residential area. very heavily populated. this is one of those around multiple rocket launchers. an attempt to turn everything upside down, but the may putin, slums western attempts to blame russia for the global few crisis. and his 1st interview since the start of the war and ukraine. ukraine 5 is human rights

commission, name pops for spreading unverified information about the legit war crimes committed by russian soldiers. claims echoed by western media and politicians. under canadian journalists covering the ukraine conflict is added to a notorious ukrainian vigilante websites on labeled an enemy as ukraine. even bartlett tells us see why she won't be swayed by the threat. they want to scare people from on continuing to report and that's not going to work with you live from our headquarters here in the russian cap. so you're watching the weekly or not international. my name is peter scotts and these the top stories from the week just gone. we start with some news from the done yet people's republic which has come under intensive artillery fire by ukrainian forces, by civilians have been killed and went to india. and that's according to local authorities. ah,

so on the area shows the shelling of the capital city done yet on saturday evening authorities, the ukrainian forces fight dozens of missiles from grad launches. you credit site has not yet commented on the incident. this but it shows residential buildings in done yet severely damaged by the attack with many near by vehicles completely destroyed. local residents claim the buildings on surrounded areas where hits multiple times a year with plumber probably more submission to politically. boom will go with little mobile

shingles. to really do phone, don't recall done yet. it was under fire throughout the day on saturday with 4 schools and a kindergarten suffering extensive damage due to the shelling ortiz roman casa reports from the scene of the attack. call 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 the civilian area right in the center of the city wall. according to local authorities. at least 50 rounds of martin multiple rocket launcher has had been used against civilians. here, as you can see, behind me, cars had been damaged. they were on fire on saturday night. right behind the cars is a kindergarten is just one of the one warden 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. mind you. none of the military infrastructure was damaged during the shedding on saturday night. and the shelling took place around at 9 pm where most of the people were already at 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 and in nevada and wall as well. and at least 20 people were wounded. and 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's 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 it 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. though the accrues from artsy, android says, were hit by ukrainian artillery fire on the outskirts of the city of sara done yet on friday. now kit has so far not commented on that incident, but our correspondent eager to donna was in one of the cars that was targeted. ah ah,

we're just about to move into the town of several the nets 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 a, 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, 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 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 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 a towards 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 spots as and those who pulled the plug, pulled the trigger. they did manage to catch to john less of a european news agency, reuters in the crosshairs, and they successfully had their vehicle. in his 1st full interview since the start of the conflict, president putin said the russian military was successfully targets in u. s. arm supplies to ukraine, he also commented on pressing issues such as global inflation and green shortages.

the unused in michigan, 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 e 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 to day. while downplaying conventional ones in the form of

hydrocarbons, it's all lead to a lack of investment in the global energy sector in subsequently to inflation. this issue with russia is also being blamed for the grain shortage, which is actually in stock, but is allegedly blocked by russia in ukrainian ports at the blue a literature. 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 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 is 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 d,

mind 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. with ukraine has fired its human rights commissioner imparts for spreading on verified information about the trustees. she alleged to were committed by russian troops, whomever comes at her claims, were widely covered by western media with top political figures also picking up on her statements are corresponded. rod gasdio takes a closer look at the story which urged to quit warning does conclude 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. 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 are merging. if you so ensure you 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 analyses that have been done. they've been the victims of not just murder and rape, but 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 was some of the ago. 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 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. as 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. caroll up the people that this was a productive for, 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 as 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 laterally. 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 russian seem as terrible as possible, that they fly for being simply to outrageous. give 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, you'll only deliver rockets limited to wait to kilometers coming to pick machine or do you remember how this war started when, but they were afraid to give us extra stingers 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 for a bit of background to that story, washington early agreed to send a new $700000000.00 military aid package to ukraine, including a number of advanced rocket launchers. the biden administration said it had agreed to supply rockets with a maximum range of only 80 kilometers. but if you crane were to get rockets with a 300 kilometer range that would put the russian border city of brians within range . as you can quite see, quite clearly here on this map, volunteers on small ends who would also be at risk no rush has repeatedly warned of consequences if such weapons are used to target is territory. according to the

pentagon, though, key of us from is that it won't use the weapons to strike russia. that's something that's not been emphasized by the u. s. envoy to ukraine. as president biden announce yesterday, has 700000000 dollar security assistance package had been signed. this includes hi moss, long by truck systems. this will help crane and forces to a more accurately, but also have a longer range. the exact range will be determined by the cranium forces, a writer and activist sarah founders 1st the new long range us rocky launch was heading to ukraine, will create a dangerous situation for the whole region. and the very beginning, every stage of this war, it's a proxy war. 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 gains and don vos, perio po, see 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 weapons 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 with are, comes as concern is going in the u. s. over washington's ongoing military aid

packages to give. the pentagon recently said that he had little control over how ukraine uses undistributed those weapons. 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 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 prisons, 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 has 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 elicit 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 are 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 of 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 element. 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 gray. a canadian journalist covering russia's operation and ukraine has found herself added to a kia based name and shame websites. it loads information on people considered to be enemies of ukraine on the sides. house published a slew of accusations against the bartlet participation in the informational special operation of russia, an aggressive country and terrorists against the crate. informational support 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 crane 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. so in this case, the independent journalist of maverick media did reach out to me a 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 canadian 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 already know where i stand with the canadian government. i don't believe that candidate when ever support me or just by the dangers even now faces canadian, mainstream media outlets have been silent on the matter of her addition to what so considered to be a kill list. she showed her experience have been exposed to such threats and left behind by home 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 interest. 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 rightly 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 of the mares is also to just kind of my name and to frighten me and to not speaking or writing and that that's something work i won't live in here. that use police force has issued a stood warning that weapons the block has been supplying if may end up in the hands of criminals and those calls for the instability in europe. at some point, the war will be over. we want to avoid a situation like the one that followed the war in the balkans 30 years ago. the

weapons from that war still being used by criminal groups today. the you has already since 1500000000 euros with a military supplies to ukraine. and recently allocated to the $500000000.00 euros for additional provisions. most of the aid is in equipment including weaponry, and a massive flow of weapons to ukraine. along with intrenched, corruption were cited in a 2018 reports as enabling the rise of far right groups in the country. such as the as of battalion, perceived corruption and mismanagement in ukraine's armed forces provided a fertile environment for the formation of independent armed groups. these groups, which often labeled themselves battalions. the number of high level state officials have facilitated massive arms flows to embargoed 3rd parties. often states under international embargo, independent journalists, thomas roper, who has visited dumbass territories once occupied by ukrainian troops, says weapons supplied the key of could be a threat to european security. i just have to follow the american media. when you

see that there were hearings already in congress, and when the pentagon was forced to say yes, they don't have any control about the weapons after they crossed the ukrainian border. in the u. s. and the pentagon, they are talking about a black hole. the ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries, which is also no surprise and most secret, and they sending weapons there without any control. it's, it's, it's clear that at least part of these weapons will come to the black market. but this is nothing you or the west did the same in iraq and syria. and later on they had to say, yeah, well, at these weapons, nearly all of these weapons came to the i s to the stomach state. it's it political, a wish of the west to support the ukraine against russia, and they do that on any cost. and looking at the 2 bill, you're right now and weapons and you have to check what they were sending. they were sending the old weapons. so i don't know, for example, norway was sending anti tank rockets, which were produced until in 1976 misses from the museum it's,

it's quite simple and quite obvious that this is just a sponsorship for, for, for the weapon industry. it's not really about helping you create what helped us you crank it with a detailed weapons that was that producing nearly 50 years ago. those the stories that shaped the we care on our, to international for more on any of them to head over to our websites, r t dot com. i'm p to scott's. i'm back again at the top of the hour. ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah, with

me hello webpage was a part united we stand divided by fall may be one of the oldest and most popular motorists in human history incited in a fables in the harry port or saga and the new testament and of course, in multiple speeches of american presidents, that's true on the personnel or national level that also apply to the world of to discuss that i'm now joined from beijing by a night tank and senior fellow and they tie her in said it's a challenge and it's great to see you're good to talk to you. thank you very much for time. now let me start the di via that i mentioned in my introduction,

that house and that's the biblical version. how that is divided against itself cannot stand, wouldn't be fair to say that the world as we know it today, is perilously divided, or has it always been that way? well, there are moments of division. i mean, there's always division within society and i'm telling you can happen. but today what we face is unparalleled. unwinding of an international world order that the u . s. put in place after world war 2. it create created the cold war. there was this momentary euphoria during the term abroad. greg, anyone like us? why? but then that was sickly. all the good was quickly spent in terms of going into afghanistan and fighting war from many invasion of iraq. and now you see

say to just looking to play mothers where it was working. i started looking at lower middle class, especially white american. they're on the bi margaret on one side. they are, you know, me charge that there is a problem society and the other hand, they see that they're not increase the last 40 years, i mean, going sideways. meanwhile, you know, people on wall street are making more money to add to richmond in the united states. well, is greater than the entire nation when you start looking at what's happening within us. but that division has you mentioned the number of historical people starting with the 2nd world war and perhaps have been before that . and you know, they won't have to have seen many challenges over the last century and yet i've heard you recently say that.
