ah, a with i think will this fuss around next for alms supplies the crate has only one goal. that is to drag out the military conflict as long as possible. in his 1st interview, since the start of the conflict, vladimir putin takes aim of the huge amounts of western arms being shipped to you crate with claims russian defenses are quote, cracking them like nuts. also ahead with 5 civilians are killed this weekend. does the done yet? people's republic comes under ukrainian shelling sounds according to local officials. we report from the all around me. you can see this is

a residential area very heavily populated. this is one of those around multiple rocket launchers in the stories that shape the weak ukraine fires, it's human rights commission or in part for spreading on verified information by the legit war crimes by russia. canadian journalists covering the print conflict is added to inventory is ukrainian vigilante websites on liberal enemy. and praying is a part that tells r t y she won't be swayed by with the intensity smears is also to just just kind of my name and to frighten me into not speaking our writing. and that's something homework i won't live in here with the recap. of the big stories over the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the clear, rti,

the western arm supplies to ukraine are aimed at dragging the conflict. that is one of them we're putting a said and is 1st full interviews since the start of russia's military offensive. he also claim the russian military was successfully neutralizing much of the advanced equipment sent to give bitter bust. of course, of certainly stuck with the delivery of weapons from the u. s. and other countries aimed at replacing cubes, losses in military equipment. there's nothing new in this. it actually changes nothing more unmanned aerial systems that actually perform stress can only be effective if there are no military edified systems present. what we do have them in the book, the thought, the pansy on 3 stream. the effective not that i want to offend anyone, but the systems are cracking these vehicles like not an invalid. dozens of them have already been destroyed. him doesn't. okay. i think will this fuss around extra on supply. c crane has only one goal. that is to drag out the military conflict as

long as possible to understand with long range missiles are supplied. it will force us to make decisions with them and use our means of destruction, which we have enough of to conduct strikes. if facilities that we haven't targeted so far or i can move, you look like. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has confirmed its forces up destroyed a number of tanks and other military equipment on the outskirts of t f. those armaments were supplied to ukraine by eastern european countries. now there strikes targeted facilities in the done yes. republic, where ukrainian military equipment was said to be undergoing repair works. and this on verified footage from the ukrainian capitalist reported the show explosions there on sunday. according to the ukrainian president's office, real way of facilities were targeted, no casualties were intense of artillery far continued to day and that and yet people's republic with local authorities claiming shells are being fired by ukrainian forces. 5 civilians are reported to have been killed since the start of

the weekend there and 26 more injury. ah. so that is said to show the shelling, filthy, capital city done. yes. on saturday evening, the authorities there a se ukrainian forces fired dozens of missiles from broad launchers which can shoot several projectiles at the same time. he hasn't yet commented on the incident video here, 2 of residential buildings in done yet severely damaged with many nearby vehicles completely destroy locos claim the apartments and the surrounding area were targeted multiple times. i deal with

lucian shoe plumbing, pl. demolish machine to put a good, the loo as a boom will go with little use like mobile shingles to really do phone during the quarter to europe. yeah. for large parts of saturday. the nets came under fire. that happened overnight as well. with 4 schools at kindergarten, suffering extensive damage. ortiz ramon culture of is there and file this report. 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 launchers had been used against civilians. here, as you can see behind me, ah,

a cars had been damaged. they were on fire on saturday nights. right behind the cars is a kindergarten is just one of the want to 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's landed right in the center of this area where all the civilians live. mind you. none of the military infrastructure was damaged during the shedding on saturday night. 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 of

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 a $140.00 people after 9 pm on saturday nights or 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. yo, mind you the front line of the fighting at the moment it is right on the outskirts of the nest. can this civilians are afraid that this is not the last time that they will be targeted by the ukrainian military and all the infants happened a little close to home as well on friday cruise from r t found the reuters news agency came under ukrainian artillery fire on the

outskirts of the city of several bennett's cab driver was killed and some reuters journalists injured or corresponding eager shipped off. he was in one of the cars targeted and told us of his experience. 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 civilians. the 1st one there was there were our colleagues with the reuters news agency behind the wheel. a soldier with the acme, with a 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 his 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 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 the next and they were trying actively trying to head our cars. it wasn't like they were shelling the general area. we were with that target and so well, they succeeded a full ma gsa to the ukranian artillery artillery spa says,

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 cross has and they successfully had their vehicle. another headline story. ukraine has fired its human rights commissioner in part for a spreading unverified information about atrocities she alleged were committed by russian troops. her claims sant been widely covered by western media with top political figures also picking up on her statements or senior correspond. murat gasdio takes a closer look at the story which just to warn you include some disturbing accusations. day, a nice week, saud 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 piping their mothers and faces the 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 and 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 oh go. 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 journalist, together with 51 lawyers of human rights activists, and others penned an open let calling 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, 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. essentially, they asked that the stick to things that actually happened though all of these stories can be tracked back to denisa and that seem more 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. despite her own less than honest approach. denita that 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 and o 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 too outrageous. murat, gas, the of, well, the ukranian presidential adviser house, suggested us rockets system, sent to the country, could in the future have a range of up to 300 kilometers. thus, despite the pentagon saying it will only deliver rockets limited to 80 kilometers

range. putting together the channel is a dilemma. do you remember how this war started? but they were afraid to give us extra thing is extra japanese and they said it was a precedent. they could never set. and now there are lots of them. these things that could be no talk on artillery and yet western artillery has now been received . so where the radius is 80 kilometers that you see, it will be 300 kilometers. shouldn't 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. just some background to the story washington earlier agreed to send a new 700000000 dollar military aid package to ukraine, including a number of advance rocket launchers, ukraine know, could use the systems with different 300 kilometer range rockets, which would both the russian border city of brianna within range for an age and smell lance,

their territories would also be at risk. moscow has repeatedly warned of consequences if such weapons are used to target its territory. according to the pentagon, kia has promised they won't use the weapons to strike russia. although the u. s. envoy to the country seemed to suggest kid will ultimately decide how they're put to use as president biden announced yesterday, $700000000.00 security assistance package had been signed. this include time are long by truck systems. this will help you create and forces to a more accurately, but also have a longer range. the exact range will be determined by the korean forces. among the reaction we got to this was from writer and activists, sorta flounders, who fears the new long range u. s. rocket launchers heading to ukraine, will create a dangerous situation for the entire 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 us,

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 marsh, 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 well, another aspect of all this growing concert on both sides of the party lives in washington a both the lethal lead heading to key. if the pentagon recently admitted it has little control over how you create and uses and distributes 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 when we have increasingly concerns of 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. sen, the u. s. government ascending 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 funds and weapon from the united states to ukraine. make sure they're falling into the right and porting 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 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 looking over the record, what happened in theory and what happened in iraq, what happened in afghanistan, and how so many of us rap and have ended up in the hands of terrorists, extreme as the narco gangs and criminal element. there are some pretty legitimate concern here as more and more us money and more and more us heavy weaponry is that to be delivered to ukraine. a canadian journalist covering the conflict in ukraine house phone herself added to a key of based name and shame website. its uploads, information on people, considered to be enemies of this state, the site and publish the slew of accusations against eva bartlett. participation in the informational, special operation of russia,

an aggressive country and terrorists against the crating. informational support of the open military attack of fascist 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. full earlier r t spoke with eva who says she doesn't believe that the canadian government will offer her any assistance. an 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 whenever support me. well,

despite the apartment dangers eva, faces, canadian ministry, media outlets of been at silent on her edition to watch some consider a kill list. this is what she told me about the experience of being exposed to such threats and expanded on whether she feels auto or how's her buck. 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 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 sierra 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 that have been launched against me since late 2016. the intent that the mares is also to just just kind of 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 to let's take you to nigeria. we're dozens of people are fear dead and water is reported to be a gun attack on the local catholic church during mass in the country south west. we won't be showing footage from at this scene the aftermath of it as it is too disturbing. but rather some screenshots here, local media in under state report that several gum an open foreign worshippers out the church and then also detonated explosives. there are various claims about the number of victims, but no confirmed figures yet though lawmakers suggest, many of the slain were children. the state governor described the attack as violent, satanic, those who have quote, enjoyed relative peace over the years. authorities have not spoken so far and who may be behind the attack. christians icon for almost half of the population in nigeria. bell as the prospect of e u. membership is dangled on

a stick in front of ukraine by the blocks leading members. it appears that may be harder for a key of to obtain on 1st thought. increasing voices are pointing to a number of factors. ukraine lacks, that's necessary for membership outing of solving such issues could take decades. ortiz, charlotte gibbons, he picks up the story. you, queen is desperate to be part of the you. but as the momentum fades, its demands are getting louder. dribble, ukraine's quick movement to the european union is needed through its candidate status, which must be granted right now in conditions of war as part of a special short in procedure for e u membership. we do not need alternatives to e u membership. we do not need these compromises. while the president of the european commission continues to be encouraging, it is our moral duty to make it possible that they join our european union and that we pave the path towards our union. hers is becoming a lonely voice. fewer than a 3rd of you members support ukraine's bid to be granted candidate status

unconditionally. in the immediate future, the majority a hesitant across the block politicians have even started to squirm. when asked about he abs rapid candidacy status having to admit that the chances are slim because protest kiners of the assertion process is not a matter of a few months or few years. the fact that there are no short cuts on the way into the e. u is also a duty of fairness to the 6 western balkan countries on mic like alford, you will come in at we cannot flam the door in ukraine's face. now, it's not enough to say you belong to europe. we need to say you belong to the you does. it won't be a fast accession process. there can't be any shortcuts or quit me immensely. but even if we were to grant that candidate status to morrow, the process which would allow them to join would in reality, take several years a most likely several decades. if would it would we have to be honest. if you say you crane is going to join the you in 6 months or a year or 2, you're lying. i know it's probably in 15 or 20 years, it takes

a long time. so why has the tied apparently turned, could it have anything to do with the mountain of criticism towards european leaders coming like quick fire from president sil lensky? there are plenty of other reasons why ukraine isn't in ship shape and bristol fashion when it comes to being an e. u. candidate in 2021. ukraine ranked a 100 and 22nd out of a 180 countries on the corruption index that was significantly lower than the most corrupt you country. according to one recent democracy index, ukraine didn't do particularly well there, either. it's called less than 40 percent in democracy with independent media, also seeing a decline in recent years. ukraine, which markets 30 of anniversary of independence in 2021 cannot be described as a stable consolidated democracy. and as the war continues, the idea of a potential candidate being caught up in 1 may not be particularly appealing to the

block. while there are also questions over whether ukraine is really pro european or just pro european funds or by then has just put 4 of the, his 40000000000 package for ukraine, which is utterly insane when you consider the economic mass for the united states as in and i would say the same thing for the you and the u. k. there is no way that the u. s. or the u. k. or any country. ringback any natal member states can give assurances that these are huge, financial packages are going to be followed through and that's a full accountability is going to be provided to the publics of those countries that are effectively providing this money. another argument is that by fast tracking ukraine to candidate status, it would leap frog over western balkan nations who have been in the queue for years

. some say that would be unfair. whichever way you look at it, ukraine doesn't cut the membership, must it. and without being the case, if the does say no, it could be about to land itself. once again, is the length skis hall of shame. charlie dubin c taken us to the end of this news block, but stay with us because we've got a sunday visit to the world's apart studios coming up. examine our guest today, asia, experts i know our tongue and launching the conversation on its right ahead. ah ah ah
