this is a man i think will this fuss around next. rom supply c 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 takes aim out, the huge amounts of western arg was being shipped to ukraine, but claims russian defenses are quote, correcting them like nuts, also ahead. a 5 civilians are killed over the weekend of the done yet. people's republic comes under ukrainian shelling. 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 in the stories that ship the weight ukraine fires, it's human rights commission, or in part for spreading on verified information about alleged more crimes by russia. and canadian journalists covering the ukraine conflict. it's added to a notorious you printing vigilante website on the label that enemy of ukraine. eva bartlett tells r t why she won't be swayed by the frank. the intents of the snares, you frighten me into non speaking our writing, and that's simply won't work. i won't live in here with a recap of that big stories over the past 7 days on right. western arm supplies to ukraine. conflict nowadays want vladimir putin. i said in his 1st full inter you

since you also claim the russian military was successfully neutralized. but of course, of, from the shock of the deliveries of weapons from meeting cubes, losses in military equipment. there's nothing new in this. it actually perform strives can only be effective if there are no military ad. if it's not that i want to offend anyone, but these systems are cracking these vehicles like non c crane has only one goal. that is to drag out the military code and use our means of destruction, which we have enough of ministry has confirmed its force has have destroyed a number of tanks on and yet republic where ukrainian military equipment will set to be undergoing repartee, ukrainian president self as railway facilities were by ukrainian forces. 5 civilians are reported to have been yet scan saturday evening authorities. there is se ukrainian full 2 of residential buildings in done yet severely damaged with many new freud. locals claim the apartments and surrounding area. we're talking with

one of the most of mission to politically lou lou, lou mccormick, you quote that for schools and a kindergarten suffering extensive call. the city of the nest was shell throughout the day, or the civilian area right in the center of the city, walk or see behind me. cars had been damaged is a kindergarten is just one of those little area very heavily populated. this is landed right in the st. jude, none of the military infrastructure was damaged during the show wanted, but during the day on the 4th of june in nevada and look as well. and at least a sion amounts to more than $140.00 people. this area in particular,

it hasn't seen a lot of damage began back in 2014. and of course residents outrage you mind you the front line of the fighting at the moment is right on the outskirts of the next can. the civility is not the last time that they will be targeted by the ukrainian military and taking you to friday about was when cruise from r t, the rotors use the city of several of them yet a driver was killed on some reuters journalists injured or correspondent the course itself was in wall of his experience. ah, me, we're just about to move. 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 archman,

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 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 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 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 catch to john less of a european news agency, roy t as in the cross has and they successfully had their vehicle or interesting development during the week. ukraine fired it's schumann writes, commissioner in part for spreading on, verified in nation about across the she alleged were committed by russian troops. her claims had been widely covered by western media with top political figures also picking up on her statements or senior correspondent rock as the takes a closer look at the story now, 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 mothers or repeat piping their mothers and faces the children. with each day more and more credible reports of re killing st torture. our merchant is 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 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 come 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 stop taking them seriously. they became an embarrassment. so ludicrous were some of the oh go. the woman behind these stories, nude milan, 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 of human rights activists, and others tend an open lead 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. essentially, they us that the stick to things that actually happened. all of these stories can be tracked back to denita the and the had seem most pacifically, 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 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 brushing prisoners of war and even ukrainian civilians deemed to be pro russia. and i 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 too outrageous. murat gazda,

if not the ukrainian presidential adviser suggested this week that us rocket systems sent to the country could in the future, have a range of up to 300 kilometers. doub is despite the pentagon saying it will only deliver a rockets limited to a firing distance of 80 kilometers punitive english melissa cohen. do you remember how this was started when, but they were afraid to give us extra stingers extra javelins? and they said it was a precedent, they could never set. and now there are lots of than the stingers. that 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. go on to some background to those remarks. washington earlier agreed to send a new $700000000.00 and military aid package to ukraine, including

a number of advance rocket launchers. ukraine though, could use the systems with different 300 kilometer range rockets, which would put the russian border city of brianne st within range for a nation. small lens would also be at risk. moscow has repeatedly warned of consequences if such weapons are used to target its territory. according to the pentagon, key of has promised it won't use the weapons to strike russia though the u. s. envoy to the country seemed to suggest cave will ultimately decide either put to use as 1st and biden announce yesterday, $700000000.00 security assistance package had been signed. this include time are longer and 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 or writer and activists, sorry slanders for years. 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 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, see a garage 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 another aspect i want to talk to you through there is growing concerned on both sides of the party lines in washington about the lethal aids heading to key of the pentagon recently admitted it has little control over how ukraine 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, and that 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, 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 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 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 i've ended up in the hands of terrorists, extremist, 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. deliver grain. a canadian journalist. ringback cutting the conflict and ukraine has found herself added to a key of based name and shame website. it uploads, information on people,

considered to be enemies of the state on the site, has published a slew of accusations against eva bartlet participation in the informational special operation of russia, an aggressive country and terrorist against ukraine. 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. earlier r t a spoke with eva who say she doesn't believe 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 hardly know where i stand with the canadian government. i don't believe that candidate would ever support me. despite the apparent dangers, even our faces, canadian mainstream media outlets have been silent on her addition to some consider calistin. this is what she told me about the experience of being exposed to such threats and expanded on whether she feels auto was her back. 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 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. 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. i'm continuing to report and that's not going to work with me just like the the smears have been

launched against me since late 2016. the intent of the merits is also to just credit my name and to frighten me into not speaking or writing. and that, that's something they won't work. i won't live in here for the prospect of you. membership is dangled on a stick in front of you. crane by the blocks leading members, it appears it may be harder for key to obtain the 1st thought. increasing numbers of voices are pointing to a number of factors. she crane lux, that's necessary for membership. adding that solving such issues could take decades or t. charlotte dubin ski picks up the story. you queen is desperate to be part of you . but as the momentum fades, its demands are getting louder. demon 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 conspirators kind 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 medic alford. he will cry 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 ear and it won't be a fast accession process. there can't be any shortcuts or put me medicine. but even

if we were to grant it candidate status to morrow, the process which would allow them to join would in reality, take several years and most likely several decades. it 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 don't 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 e 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 30th 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 the ukraine, which is utterly insane when you consider the economic mass for the united states isn't. 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, 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 ober 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? in nigeria, more than 50 people are feared dead after gunmen attacked a local catholic church in the country. south west. we won't be showing footage from the scene as it's too disturbing, but rather some screenshots local media in under state report. several gunman opened fire on worshipers at the church during sunday, math,

and then also detonated explosives or various teams about the number of victims, but no confirm figures. you have the authority suggest many of the slain children. the state governor describe the attack as vile unset telic on people who have called to enjoyed relative peace over the years. although no one's fame, responsibility islamist attacks in the african country have ramped up in recent weeks against christian communities and to asia. at least 49 people have been killed and 300 injured after a huge fire broke out. a shipping container deco in south eastern bangladesh. this is the aftermath of the fire near should have gone the country, 2nd largest city. police say the blazer turned off for a chemical reaction led to an explosion there that a blast bleed shattered the windows of nearby homes. 19 fire fighting units were sent to the scene along with multiple ambulances. and that

is your recap of the week. that was but our program, they're just beginning, stay tuned to find out what showing where you are today. i'm, you know, neil and this is our to international the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk ah, you attribute a pushy russia in this situation and it, but that was not, excuse exactly,

you know, all the data. and unfortunately you out now after iraq knocked out a huge truck, they want to do other countries to fight their war. we can with .
