trying to network with them. with pregnant women and newborns come under attack in done yet. local authorities accuse ukrainian forces of conducting devastating artillery strikes on this city, including the bombardment of a maternity hospital, which the u. m. has condemned, does a violation of international law. we hear from people out the medical facility. we heard the commotion and ran into the basement, the walls, the windows were shaking. we ran to the basement and spend the night there. women were giving birth to right in the basement. it's. we're relying here on the floor and all of us cracked also ahead on the program today,

the head of nato suggests. ukraine may have to consider seating territory to reach a peace deal with russia. there's a potential risk of the conflict further escalating and india saves it won't come to escalating pressure from the west stuff they commerce minister speak site against the w t o is restrictions on subsidized agriculture with wherever you're counting the program from today. welcome to moscow and to then use our in our t. my name's you know, name. we starts with a developing storage 6 people helping wounded in a shelling attack on a russian village in the western briana region at located some 50 kilometers from the ukrainian border. dozens of houses where the damage to this is the latest fudge that we've received from the area electricity. water supplies were disrupted

buildings window sheltered remnants of what's reported to be ukrainian shells have been uncovered. the attack reportedly had parts of a military base in the region. emergency services are working at the scene. we will keep you updated, of course the story with the worst shelling since the conflict began. that's how local officials have described a series of intense attacks. believe to have been conducted by ukrainian forces on the city of the next. several civilians are reported to have been killed in just 2 hours. just give you a sense on 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. we got immediate reaction from locals about the show. yes, you are pretty similar. i was sitting in an armchair, my husband was in the bathroom walking. we had

a blast and the window shattered. i looked around and there was blood everywhere. i jumped out into the corridor to see what happened to him, but she was okay. thank god, said sheila, so what would you, what would her you hit by the charge? just as i wished. lou dunham? yes, 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. another guy was taken hospital. he was hit in the vein by shot. my, my, my friend, nice to and day with the very 1st her and into the basement. down there was an explosion. i cried a lot, i'm just curious as to hire to magically went down to the basement with my child. we still here, we even go further inside in danbury fell on us right here. i've come to my apartment, but it's completely destroyed for the white will. as mentioned on monday, shells hit a maternity hospital and done yet the un how slumber tank as a violation of international law. women and labor and other patients were forced to evacuate to the basement where medical staff continued to help them. as part of the

building caught fire, there was no military presence in the medical facility. and wanna assure you this image it's been circulating on social media and shows a newborn baby in 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 vent to later. so it was impossible to bring the infant into the basement for shelter. no medical personnel remained with the baby who has survived an rti crew went to the hospital to hear 1st on what occurred during this could any months when 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 their own bodies if needed. this is and with certainty,

ah hostile soul, 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 here as well. so it's very painful to see what happened here. pleaded vertical grace fell. we were standing in a hallway waiting for a blood pressure to be measured. we heard the commotion and ran into the basement to switch around. it started in the morning and lasted until around noon 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 like it was they were undergoing a sicilian section in the basement. there was no other option for them. when you move this were relying here on the floor and all of us pregnant were crying, had a nervous breakdown. it was only been law. 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 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, ah, women given birth at a different location because it's just simply too dangerous. here for lancaster about the scene now russia states 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? a hospital in mario pl, used by ukrainian nationalists as a foreign position. ukraine is deliberately targeting civilians. will we hear

a word of condemnation? let's talk more in that with crystal, nene or 3rd journalist, and founder of the news outlet. don bos inside our thank you for your time today. crystal, russia accuses western media of being on justifiably biased, in particular, the under reporting of ukraine shelling of civilian areas in vignette. as someone who's lived, worked in dunbar for many years. does that accusation ring true? yes, yes, fully either the under report, they hide what is happening or the law openly. ah, i've seen today an article from a french media where the states that the shilling of the news was a russian chevy. while it is obvious that it was a ukrainian one, because some of the shells which fell were $155.00 millimeters, which are on the need to standard weapons which were providing to ukraine by

countries like your friends or the united states. so it cannot be russia but the steel lying. yeah. on that case, the attack on the maternity hospital and been yes. why wouldn't a responsible journalist give the same amount of coverage to that as the previous shelling of the maternity hospital in murray? you ple, which key of accused rush of being responsible for moscow incidentally, claims that the law for a talk was stage because most of the western media, they just take to the western narrative in that. so i'm, i will give an example in france, most of the, of the media are funded by the state they're receives exemptions. so if they don't stick to the official narrative of the state, can just get the dimensions in the all these media they will go bankrupt. so they just stick to the position or of, of the, of the government. that's all. and he the same, i think, in, in north of countries. so for me, it's not a surprise. it's not

a surprise. it's 8 years like these either the under report or the hide with the real to portraiture of these war crimes. because of course, as the western countries are supporting ukraine, it would be very bad to explain that the ukranian army is committing war crimes by shilling maternity is hospitals, schools, and other civilian infrastructures. because i'm just thinking of a, of a journalist sitting in a newsroom otherwise sober and free thinking on looking at images and more information coming in about an attack on a maternity hospital, pregnant women, newborn children and thinking, no, i'm not going. i'm not going to to write this because it doesn't fit the, the narrative. is that really what they're thinking? or are they afraid for their jobs? why do you think that not getting out there? why aren't they covering it? they are for it for their job. ah, because they know that if they don't stick to the narrative or i've already seen that one friend journalist came here decided to publish the truth and he was fired

. i do. and after and after you, you have really you difficulties to find a job in another media because the in france for example, all the media, the, the, are in the hands of 8. i for remember, hate very rich people. so you, you, you have done quickly the rounding and so if you are booked from all these main media, it's the end of your career, this whole a. do you expect the shelling of the yes to be investigated by the international community at large. like how likely is it to be classified as a, as a war crime crystal. i don't think they will investigate on that. i mean, during 8 years they have closed their eyes. i mean, even the european court of you, of the human rights are the international justice course court. they are all close their eyes. i mean, other than bus inhabitants have field

a thousands and thousands of claims against ukraine, yearning all these e 8 years of war and none of them, none of them was even treated. and now the, i've seen that the, i think it's the european court of human rights of a blue as put aside all the, all the claims against the ukraine. all the keys were ukraine is defendant. they have just been put aside. they will not be treated. they will not be even red, that's all they, they call their eyes. and as evidence appears to be mounting, do you think a there will be questions about shelling civilian areas by care forces to them and be, would they admit that that's what's happened even if it was not intentional? i don't think so. i don't think so. it's 8 years at the claim that the dpr and the lp are, are showing themselves, and they never admitted that it was their fault. it's already like this since 8

years. so i don't see why they would change either the way they proceed since 8 years. it was the same with the image, 17 and it was the same with all the other atrocities that they committed. it's never their fault. and in the it's always either the russians or the the people's militia, but they don't want to admit what they have done. crystal, just a word on yourself. you live and on bus. you've worked there for many years. you moved from front. how is it there for youth right now? right now it's really hard. ah, we were in hide injure with colleagues on the force of june and we were under you chilling in petoskey district of done yet. i've lost my car. so for the moment i cannot move her for the and do my job like usual, we're trying to find a solution. but we were also under huge shilling for more than 5 hours. we stayed

in the basement for 5 hours with civilians who were near the shoes. conceive mine in petoskey district. i have to say that yesterday was really frightening because the shilling was during almost a whole day. and so was really striking. almost all the districts of done yet from the most eastern ones to the most, to where western once and from the north to the south are it was really, really and a nightmare yesterday. i have to say it was on the whole of the net, like it was for us on the 4th of june in petrosky. and it was really or able really, really scary. first on testimony from crystal lean or 3rd journalist and founder of the news, i played don bus inside a crystal. thank you know, welcome fighting has been raging in the heavily embattled on key city of severed on. yes. going to lose guns, republic pro russian forces,

say the last bridge that connected the no encircled ukrainian army there has been destroyed in trumping those troops. ukrainian authorities accused russia of destroying the bridge and preventing civilians from fleeing the conflicts own so called for the evacuation of the civilians in question plumbing to move them across the river into cranium, health territory. russia, however, believes it's a covert plan to extract the soldiers unsafe. the evacuation rich should head in the opposite direction, the lookouts republic, caesar up to 2500 printing military personnel currently trumped in separate than yes. gotten up to a quarter or foreign mercenaries, rushes defense ministry also claims extremists. ukrainian nationalists have been killing fellow soldiers to stock them from surrendering mosley will deliver. i only reduced it. well, there's been a rise in number of cases in recent weeks where ukrainian nationalists forces have

shot fellow ukrainian service men in the back. that's after 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 only on the surrender in ukraine. his service men were carrying white flags and making their way towards ukrainian positions when the grain and nationalists forces open fire them in the back given city. 2 of them come under one. another aspect of things ukrainian calls 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. un stilton burgles who insisted that the military alliance will stay out of the conflict to avoid a potential escalation is, is false false, thus still 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'll 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 nissans 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. will appears to me that at some point along the lines is 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 keith victorious, assume the sustain and quantity 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 . as far as, as you, our goal is that putin does not win. our goal is for ukraine to be able to defend itself. and to be successful, to 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 is 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 more than just killing. and so that is why i see as of nato secretary general make the state. 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 the say, the important western leaders all related to all about the european commission remains undecided about whether to grant membership candidate status to ukraine. disquiet about giving precedence to k of has been getting lighter in georgia on moldova, who've been on the waitlist for years. there's also hesitancy 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. the e u has a pretty basic requirements for every ship, like being a free market economy, stable democracy and insurance. in the rural law, you remember states are running around making international peals for weapons ation

to fight a hot conflict on her own soils. if they're on calling for a no fly zone over the country that could spark world war 3 or full, the neo nazis into their own forces and pretending that, you know, totally normal and really cool. that's a lot of baggage and all of these things ukrainian president lawyers, lindsey isn't doing. while lobbying for you membership now french president emanuel michael has proposed the sort of consolation prize of a membership in some kind of a european political community as these coined it, which he says could include countries like ukraine, that ultimately want to be part of the sunday now that's kind of like telling kids at christmas party that they can come eat with the adults, but then seeing them at a cute table off the side, you know, with the paper cups. plastic covering now is with the little cartoons on them and balloons and everything came on board them. my calls minister of european affairs was being blanche and honest when he said that it could realistically take 15 to 20 years for ukraine to join a year. and a 14 prime minister said something pretty similar recently as well. we don't need

to open at this moment and negotiations procedure that will take a lot of years. the great risk is to create false expectations that become bits of disappointment, less legal debates, more practical solutions in georgia, in moldova, as you've mentioned, have also been waiting very patiently to be invited into the use club or night club, you know, behind the belt row. 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 is 10 heads ahead in all directions. it's pretty telling that the most enthusiasm for ukraine joining the u. s. coming from member states that are net recipients of you funds like slovakia and poland for instance, the net contributors of you funding. in other words, the taxpayers are paying upfront and spending the most on the you, germany, france,

italy, at the top of that list of countries who are most footing the bill have been much more blunt in their assessment. and those countries leaders have been much more. i'm been wanted to as well and the remarks and actions around the conflict recently suggesting perhaps a need to temper or wishful thinking in ideology with the dose of realism. ah no, no a story, we're keeping a close eye on today. as western pressure escalates, india remains defiant amid the world trade organizations restrictions on subsidized agriculture. the countries commerce minister says new deli won't be pushed or on by external forces or poacher threat. oh, because this developed countries signed a one sided pact to benefit their own farmers before the world trade organization was formed. they gave a raw deal to week and developing nations. 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 pressure. geneva based

w t o set restrictions against the exporting state subsidized crop, saying they lead to on for a price is on global markets. such subsidies, a lot of indian farmers to grow more weight. son, rice at 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 of india. us in recent tensions with the west ritz maintaining of close relations with moscow. amid the ukraine conflict, it's rejected calls from the u. s. to cuts in ports of russian oil. instead, increasing purchases are heavily discounted prices. india is now one of the top consumers of russian energy, while the u. s. has imposed on embargo on in ports of the fuel from russia, and had this to say to deli, regarding it stance. 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 and in the united states. well, reacting to that, i spoke to an indian political expert on entrepreneur who says 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 pressure is because the us expected it. india is an ally of the u. s. which is what got down to the us lines on line on the embark on russian id. but i think for the west to needs to understand 2 things. india and russia size has started. india has the suffering right to do work is info, self interest, and india has fame and again done when something's at justified. for example, with ben israel with iran, it's worked, it's looked at along with the rest and long. but with russia, india, energy, security, betterment, and india needs to secure herself before moving on. and you don't,

you think continue. so buying who continue to buy in for oil and gas from the show . so i think that india consumption increased as much less than all of europe. and this is your 1st needs to reduce their 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 good part is it has to understand what all constraints or destruction and we support with the rest. but it seems we cannot spoil our relationship with just traditional friendship with russia always being a friend and has been with us to contend. it cannot get out. it's all import jeopardize. it's 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 in the g security which is paramount. the book, again repeat, india has 1400000000 people in the energy security is spread among the

let's take you state side on the program as consumer prices sky to never before seen levels in the us. president biden is trying to alleviate pressures on american high salt and shift the blame to oil companies and russia that says his approval ratings declined among key voters. and many of his fellow democrats begin to question his leadership biden's. busy 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 price, i consider america. heart rate is what war freight is. to use growing less popular by the hour. the latest numbers show 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 so unpopular. he seemed to promise an economic rebound, but it never happened. at this point, america 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. what 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 binding 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. and, you know, should he run again? i think that i think it's, it's, we'll take a look at it. but right now we need to focus on winning a majority of that about 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 martin artsy new york. now why are we seeing the scenes we are to date in don boss. a 3rd explainer is coming your way, right ahead. so i'll be your after about with all your local news updates by from ah, with

or so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. this on offense. very dramatic or development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk move ukraine a big and rich country. that's always been hand in hand with russia. until recently .
