consider seating territory to reach a peace deal with russia. there's a potential risk of the conflict further escalating also coming up on the program this, our new delhi sounds firm against the w t o is restrictions on subsidized agriculture and made growing pressure on india from the with tuesday, june the 14th at 4 pm here in moscow, you're welcome to the news r t. i'm union o'neill. we begin with news just coming in to our 6 people have been wounded in a shelling attack on a russian village in the western brianna screeching that some 50 kilometers from the ukrainian border. dozens of houses at were damaged as well in the instant it is being reported. let's in fact, show the latest footage we've just received from the area electricity and water

supply. they were all disrupted buildings, windows shuttered as well. remnants of, at what said to be ukrainian shells have been on covered. the attack reportedly had part of a military base in the region emergency services. they're working right now at the scene. and of course, we'll keep you updated on any information verified as well from there. the worst shelling since the conflict began that our local officials have described intense attacks, believe to have been conducted by ukrainian forces on the city of done yet. several civilians are reportedly dead in just 2 hours and monday, around $300.00 rockets, rain down on the city, striking civilian areas including a marketplace on the maternity hospital part of which caught fire. here's what the locals had to say about the show. yes,

you are pretty similar. i was sitting in an armchair and my husband was in the bathroom walking. we had a blast and the window shattered. i looked round and there was blood everywhere. i jumped out into the corridor to see what happened to him, but she was okay. thank god that sheila said, what would you, what, what are you hit by the shark as little as i wish to double me up? yes, shots, from windows and even from door panels, hit me. the doctors kept me over and removed all the glass from my arms and legs. but i refused to go to the hospital. let those who are really badly wounded go. another guy was taken hospital. he was hit in the vein by shot. lose my, my friend nice to and i with the very 1st her and into the basement. down there was an explosion. i cried a lot. i'm just curious as to how i are to magically went down to the basement with my child. how old is your child? wish him? you can 8 years old. we stood here. we even go further inside and deborah, he fell on us right here. i've come to my apartment, but it's completely destroyed for the wireless. so i could have my child lays on

the back here sits in the computer. and if she were lying here with the lucky that we were in the basement, it saved their lives. who has mentioned on monday shells hit a maternity hospital in the city of done yet the un how slums the attack as a violation of international law, women and labor and other patients were forced to evacuate to the basement where medical stuff continued to help them as part of the building called fire. there was no military presence in the medical facility. and i wanna show you this image as well. it's been circulating on social media and shows a new born baby and an intensive care unit next to a window broken from a blast wave during the attack. the child was born prematurely and couldn't be disconnected from the ventilator. so it was impossible to bring the infant into the basement where others were fleeing to medical personnel remained with the baby who,

how survived an rti crew went to the hospital and receive some details about the incident? dangers could, in montana they were full babies in the intensive care unit, one of whom, in the rather serious condition, was placed on the ventilator. the rest also needed oxygen supply, so it was impossible to move them into the basement. so the doctor's followed the scheme. we had developed over the past 8 years and stayed near by in moments of danger, ready to cover the babies with our own bodies if needed. this is a maternity. ah hospice, all very close, very near and dear to my heart. and so my camera man as well, this is where his son was born 4 years ago and my god, oh my god, daughter was born, i hear as well. so it's very painful to see what happened here. pretty vertical grace fairly. we were standing in a hallway waiting for a blood pressure to be measured. we heard the commotion and ran into the basement with a switch around it started in the morning and lasted until around, luna. and then in the evening, stronger shelling began the walls,

the windows were shaking. we ran to the basement and spend the night there. women were giving birth right in the basement. some were undergoing surgery. of course, it was scary for the like, it was they were undergoing a sicilian section in the basement. there was no other option for them. when you moved, you were lying her on the floor and all of us pregnant. we were crying, had a nervous breakdown, is everybody love the. her shell landed a ride on the roof of this building. old. you can see all the windows, the glass has been shattered. the top floor is almost completely destroyed as well . a women that were in this hospital, i have old managed to go down into the basement to evacuate into the bomb shelter. and of fortunately, no one was killed or injured the older, forced to close this down to in because it's very dangerous. i here at the moment and there will evacuated old, continue serving ha women given birth at

a different location because it's just simply too dangerous here. well, russia has pointed out. western media outlets have been conspicuously silent about ukrainian attacks on civilian areas. where is western media reaction? all those bbc world. reuters world a f, b, et cetera. who were shelton about damage to maternity hospital in mario pl, used by ukrainian nationalists as a foreign position. ukraine is deliberately targeting civilians. will we hear a word of condemnation? well, let's tell further into that and cross live to georgia liason on american investigative journalist who's been working in don boss. we appreciate your time today. russia accuses western media of being on justifiably biased, in particular, the under reporting of ukraine shelling of civilian aries in done yet. is that assessment fir?

yes, actually it's, it's very fair. western media is and, and he had supporting anything that comes out of the ukrainian government as is the state department except, or the u. s. i o, gosh, i forget the acronym. now it was called, it's the new form of the board of broadcasting governors, usa, g, it's call. it's essentially an ambassadorship for network and, and such. but in 2012 they changed the smith month back, which for bad propaganda in the united states, they made that legal to made information, operations, legal. and they started running it through what today's, the usa g m. and essentially they've got media across the board

on working with the ukrainian narrative as it comes out. all the information that american media knows about ukraine comes out of here. so it's the only onside of any story that american big american me is going to tell. and yeah, it's very unfortunate towards can i just give a specific example of what our viewers have just seen on the program, the attack on the maternity hospital and done yet. why wouldn't a responsible journalist give the same amount of coverage to that as the previous shelling of the maternity hospital and marya apple, which key of accused rush of being responsible for which incident the moscow accused key of forces of stating well, you know, realistically kia did stage that again, it has to do with the narrative that they,

they want to play out. if kia was committing atrocities, you get it, the support for ukraine diminishes and then are gonna allow that to happen. so as you know, atrocities right this and how can you call it anything else that you have them? the media is going to go silent and they're actually me focusing it right now in the us action coming up in november and that soon kevin is going to slip out of media and keep slipping out of media until after november. essentially ukraine is going to be ignored until then and then we'll be back to the flood big propaganda again. it's a disgrace. it's a disgrace that they but the government bodies like the un,

which their big reaction there isn't any. they reacted right away to a fake story about to marry uncle hospital the outrages in there for this because they're going to have to acknowledge publicly that he had was doing these things. well, that leads to my next question. do you expect the shelling of done yet? storage to be investigated by the international community. now that more and more images are coming out. how likely as well is it to be classified as a war crime scene to non internationally that the problem it goes back again to the ability gives gate through the port day getting in the west from both the british and the american government. canada also

can you imagine a gremlin on the line there were just picking up some of your words, but not the others? if you wouldn't mind just staying on the line. we'll, we'll talk to you in a few moments off error because we just can't hear exactly what you're seeing there . we've been speaking to georgia lice and an american investigative journalist who's been working in don. bye. thank you. george. so fighting has been raging in the heavily embattled, uncanny city of separate than yeske in the loop. ganske republic pro russian forces save a last bridge that connected the now in circle ukrainian army. there has been destroyed in trapping those troops. their ukrainian authorities accused russia of destroying the bridge and preventing civilians from fleeing the conflict. so well, care is also called for the evacuation of the civilians in question planning to move them across the river into ukrainian hel territory. russia, however, believes it's

a covert plan to extract the soldiers and sees the evacuation root should had in the opposite direction. now the elegance republic say sir, up to $2500.00 ukraine military personnel currently trumped in separate and yet of whom up to a quarter or from russia's defense ministry also said extremis. ukrainian nationalists have been killing fellow soldiers to stop them from surrendering i where we have disney, what has been rising number of cases in recent weeks where ukrainian nationalists forces have shot fellow ukrainian service men in the back. that's up to more than 30 ukraine in truth decided to surrender as to russian forces prepared for an offensive near the settlement of knowing me. heil of car ended in ask republic on the surrender in ukraine as service men were carrying white flags and making their way towards the crane in positions when the grain of national, his forces open, fire them in the back given suited to of them among the electrical ukrainian coals for increased western military assistance are now appearing to be met with more

caution in the west. the head of nato has even said ukraine may have to start thinking about whether to trade territory for a peace deal in stoughton burgles. so insisted that the military. busy alliance will stay out of the conflict to avoid a potential escalation is, is false false. that's all to question the way. the question is, what price i willing to pay for peace, how much territory? how much it depends on much sovereignty. how much freedom, how much the walker see, are willing to sacrifice for peace. we all is, see a kind of vertical escalation, war, fight thing, more suffering, have your weapons in ukraine, but escalation beyond ukraine. nato's chief of staff himself has voiced the idea that ukraine may have to give up territory for peace. this is from the guy whose job is literal. russo phobia to deny russia at every turn. it's telling, and it isn't just him, the idea that ukraine isn't going to win militarily,

despite the billions upon billions of dollars and in nato guns and missiles and launches, and rockets and drones heaped upon ukraine. the idea or admission that they aren't going to win this fight is gaining traction with mr. territory. i'm not going to tell them what they should and shouldn't do. well. appears to me that at some point along the lines, there's going to have to be negotiated. settlement, we must not humiliate russia so that the day the fighting stops we can build a way out through diplomatic channels. all of this is in stark contrast to what we heard before from nato leaders. when they thought that the thousands of tons of, of arms that they're pumping into ukraine would see kia, victorious issue, you know, the sustain and coordinator support of the national community. learning facilitated by the united states as it is a significant reason why ukraine is able to stop fresh from taking over the country

. this for, let's see. our goal is that putin does not win. our goal is for ukraine to be able to defend itself and to be successful, restore peace in europe. we must continue our support for ukraine. so in a negotiation with russia, it can decide on the nature of its relations. it must come freely and not under the bad barrel of the gun. loosely that was wishful thinking. front lines have turned into a brutal need grinder, ukrainian officials have admitted to losing almost a 1000 troops a day, which includes those killed and wounded. taken out of action, a 1000 a day taken out of the fight. the question is, how long can you crane keep this up? and that it's always when war starts. it is of course on both sides. a very aggressive a feeling, but to see if the time we have no more than

a 100 days in this war. and the feeling in the western societies said that it should come to a cease fire and that they want to stop. this is more than just killing and so that is why i see as of nato secretary general makes a statement. and i think it respect also by, by some politicians in the west. i think he is not acting on himself here. so it looks like he is spreading your work, which is agreed among that says easy, important western leaders can tell the story to bring you to day. the european commission remains. busy undecided about whether to grant membership candidate status to ukraine. disquiet about giving precedence to ukraine has been getting lighter in georgia, moldova, and also in some you capitals. honestly,

starting the membership process takes time. first and foremost, this is a country at war, and the most urgent matter is to stop the war to rebuild ukraine and then consider it joining under the right conditions, both for the you and for ukraine. will speak to our to contributor rachel marston on this. hi there, rachel. it's already a complicated process. ukraine is of course, right now involved in a conflict. you got other nations team to join. they've been on the wait list for quite some time. what is happening now? regarding ukraine's potential to join the e u as a come to that member. well look, the you have some pretty basic requirements for membership, like being a free market economy, stable democracy and adherent to the rule. what you remember states are running around making international appeal for weapons ation to fight a hot conflict on her own foil, calling for no fly zone over the country that could start world war 3 or holding the or not things into their forces and pretending totally normal it will be cool,

that's a lot of baggage and all of the ukranian president flyers when doing while lobbying for you memberships now french president emanuel, my quote, had proposed disordered consolation prize of a membership in some kind of european political community as the climate which he says could include countries like ukraine that ultimately want to be part of be some day. now that kind of like telling kids a christmas party that they can come eat with the adults, but then seeing them at a table off site with a paper cup, plastic covering napkins, with a little cartoons on them. and everything came on board and the mac hose minister of european affairs was being watch and honest when he said that it could realistically take 15 to 20 years for you. craig to join the year and the 14 prime minister said something pretty similar recently as well. we don't need to open at this moment in negotiation procedure that will take a lot of years. the great risk is to create false expectations that become bitter

disappointment, less legal debates, more practical solutions. yeah, in georgia. and moreover, as you've mentioned, the author been waiting very patiently to be invited into the use club or night club, you know, behind the velvet rope. and ga doesn't seem to be too thrilled about all of this recent talk of ukraine cutting in line. either if an open conflict is one of the criteria for obtaining a status, then we don't want that. we demand a well deserved status. georgia tech had the head in all directions. it's pretty telling that the most and through the 1000 for ukraine joining the year was coming from member states that are net recipients of you fund like slovakia and pulling for instance the net contributor. heard of you funding. in other words, the tax payers paying upfront and spending the most on the you, germany, french, italy, at the top of that list of countries who are most putting the bill have been much

more blunt in their assessment. and those countries leaders have been much more ambivalent as well in the remarks and actually around the conflict recently suggesting perhaps the need to temper or wishful thinking in ideology with the dose of realism that take of our to conjugate our rachel mars. and rachel, thank you or i to another headline story to the as western pressure escalates, india remains defiant. and amid the world trade organizations restrictions on subsidized agriculture, the countries commerce ministers, these new delhi won't be partial. and by external forces or bar to threats order. because the developed countries signed a one sided pact to benefit their own farmers before the world trade organization was form what they gave a raw deal to week and developing nation. india has been fighting for the rights of its farmers and agriculture within the w t. o, no one can pressure india. we want to come to any pressure,

major super got depression, some background to this, the geneva base w t o set restrictions against exporting state subsidized crop thing. they lead to on for prices and global markets. no such slips. these allow indian farmers to grow more weeks and rice said lower costs. new delhi has said it wants to end the w t o policy in order to support its domestic farmers and protect the countries food security or the overall picture. india has seen recent tensions with the west of ritz maintaining of close relations with moscow. amid the ukraine conflict, it's in fact is rejected calls from the u. s. to cut imports of rational instead, increasing purchases are heavily discounted prices. india is not one of the top consumers of brush and energy, while the u. s. has imposed on them bar go on imports of the fuel from russia and had this to say to deli, regarding incidence. in my conversations with them, i've said, look, we don't have secondary sanctions,

we can't band your purchases. but as you increase your purchases from russia, don't go too far and don't look like you're taking advantage of the pain that is being felt in european households in, in the united states. i spoke to an indian political expert on entrepreneur who said the u. s. should treat india like an equal partner if it really wants to improve relations. well, i think one of the reasons why india has been under so much precious because the u . s. expected india is an ally off the us, which is what got down to the u. s. lines on line on the embargo and russian id. but i think for the west to needs to understand 2 things. india and russia said that he started. india has softened, right to do work is info, self interest, and india has time and again done when some things that justified for example, with ben israel with iran, it's worked. it's worked along with the rest and long but progress shop in. yes, energy security, betterment in india need to secure herself before moving on and you don't you think

countries are buying who continue to buy? import oil and gas from. gotcha. so i think that india consumption do increase as much later than all of europe. and this is your 1st needs to reduce the purchases before they can make sure in the, on what you're doing with regards to russia. the rest has to deal with india, i think, you know. and then the 3rd part is it has to understand what all constraints, what are our destruction, and we are support with the west. but it, it seemed, and we cannot spoil our relationship, which is traditional friendship with russia over being a friend. it has been with us to contain, it cannot get out. it's all import jeopardize its energy security just because you know, the rest and countries we have a problem with a country. beacon 2 or 3 countries. i mean, at some point in, gosh, look at the image security which is paramount. the again repeat. india has 1400000000 people in the energy security is paramount. yeah.

related to that, to us consumer prices sky to never before seen levels in the you as president biden is trying to alleviate pressures on american heart souls and shift the blame to oil companies and russia. that's us. his approval ratings decline among key voters. and many of his fellow democrats begin to question his leadership. biden's old line about everything being russia's fault isn't cutting it with americans. inflation is a real challenge to american families. today's inflation report, confirm what americans already know prudent try. psyche city in america heart rate is, was a war of freight is to use growing less popular by the hour. the latest numbers showed joe biden, having a 20 percent drop in popularity among voters age 18 to 34 from january 2021 to june. 2022. now it's important to know this is the group that got

joe biden to the white house to begin with having a big turn out. it's not hard to understand why old joe is. ready so unpopular, he seemed to promise an economic rebound but it never happened at this point america. ready is facing the highest rate of inflation in 4 decades. gas in the united states is up to $5.00 per gallon. in addition to that, you've got the mass shootings that took place in buffalo and in texas and the gridlock when it comes to guns. it's pretty clear, joe biden is not steering the ship in a good direction. you could expect republicans would jump all over him. but now with numbers this low, we've got folks on the democratic side of the aisle turning on the new york times. let the cat out of the bag revealing that they interviewed 50 elected officials, who are democrats, and all of them are deeply concerned about the rising strength of the republicans. they say that biden should not run in 2024 because it would be handing them an easy

victory to say our country was on the right track, would flagrantly depart from reality biden should announce his intent not to seek reelection in 2024 right after the mid terms, if the president has a vision and that's something certainly we're all willing to entertain and examine when that when the time comes. that's not a yes. you know, should he run again? i think that i think it's it's, we'll take a look at it. right now. we need to focus on winning a majority instead of a presidential election. the presidency is a monstrously taxing job in the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a 2nd term. and that would be a major issue. he looks his age and isn't as agile in front of a camera as he once was. mid terms are coming up in november and at that point we could see the u. s. congress shift based on how voters decide to respond. however, after that biden will still have 2 years to possibly turn things around. regardless,

there are many, even within the democratic party camp that are at this point saying it might be worth just throwing in the towel, finding somebody else for the job. caleb mob and artsy, new york to the world is a part studios we go next where economic is talking knock on effects of the ukraine conflict with china, a 1st specialist, victor. go stick close. it's interesting. shut on a try that. oh, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk

with welcome to worlds apart. as the chinese war strategist sounds to positive more than 2 and a half 1000 years ago. if you know the enemy and know yourself, you don't need to fear the result of a 100 battles. but if you don't warn you, crane has already led to have a plethora of unforeseen strains on the global economy and analyst form. that's worse, maybe up to come. how well did the protagonist in this drama understand that roles that and then limits to discuss that?

i'm now joined from beijing by victoria, gal, vice president of the center with china and globalization. it's a gal, it's a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for having me. now, in one of your articles, prior to the beginning of the russian military operation in the ukraine, you warned that these crises made degenerate into a melodrama with potentially devastating global consequences. and. a i think all weaknesses, that melodrama or tragedy. now, do you think though, that it may still lead to some sort of a holywood style, happy ending, or should we prepare cells for a much more sober, much more darker culmination? you're raising a very important question. i think it is time for mankind to look beyond into the future. i think we can start with the year 2122. that is 100 years from today. and i can see to.
