a potential risk of the conflict. further escalating and india says it won't come to escalating pressure from the west. the commerce minister speak side against the w t. o 's restrictions unsubsidized agriculture. that's all ahead this news with around the clock across the world. this is r t from the team and myself, you know neil hello and welcome to the program. the worst shelling since the conflict began. that's how local officials have described. a series of intense attacks believed to have been conducted by ukrainian forces on the city of done yet . several civilians are reported to have been killed in just 2 hours on monday or on $300.00 rockets, rain darned on the city, striking civilian areas including a market place on the maternity hospital,

parts of which caught fire. we got some immediate reaction from locals about the shelling. yes, you could use them. i was sitting in an armchair and my husband was in the bathroom walking. we had a blast and windows shattered. i looked around and there was blood everywhere. i jumped out into the corridor to see what happened to him, but he was okay, thank god said sheila, so what will you what, what are you hit by the shark as little as i wish to dunham? yup. 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 to hospital, he was hit in the vain by shot. my, 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 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 one. well, as mentioned on monday,

shells had a maternity hospital in dunn yeske, the u. n. a. slum the attack as a violation of international 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 on this image circulated on social media shows a new born 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 ventilator. so it was impossible to bring the infant into the basement. medical personnel remained with the baby, who survived, an rti crew went to the hospital here 1st on what occurred dangers could any monsoon, there were sol, 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 doctors 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. i'm on the roof of the maternity hospital that was shelled by the ukrainian military. one of the rockets landed right here making a huge hole in this roof. now this top floor is completely destroyed. there were dozens of women here in this missouri into hospital when the shilling began. this delivery room, in particular, one woman was here and ready to give her birth. and then when a ard sil, reeves frock, all the windows were immediately blown out, katy vertical dressed. there 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 to 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. when you moved this were relying here on the floor and all of us pregnant were crying, had a nervous breakdown of reserve and love the mothers who were expected to give her birth hands are regular conditions have been forced to flee into the basement from the hercules fright they continued for more than 2 hours, and fortunately, no one was killed or injured and required ship that had your i'm sure the location when's calmly because this self has learned how to behave in such a situation. so they managed to cope is always kind of what i want to say is that this is the place where children, when you lives a born does then and mother doesn't give birth to has sounds to send them to war. all the cruelty that we have seen over 80 years,

mary opened another citizen humane for the sole reason that the 21st century human life is not valued. this missouri into hospital now lies almost in ruins, 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 daughter was born i here as well. so it's very painful to see what happened here. this building will now be forced to close to be closed until further notice and they will evacuate a door continues, serving a women given birth at a different location because it's just simply too dangerous here. remind crosstrek who moscow say's 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 p et cetera. who were shelton about damage to maternity hospital in murray,

opal used by ukrainian nationalists as a foreign position. ukraine is deliberately targets and civilians will we hear a word of condemnation. but earlier i spoke with journalist crystal nene, who is the founder of the news outlet. don bass insider crystal offered her thoughts on why western media outlets largely don't report at all. all alleged ukrainian military attacks heading civilian areas. most of the wisdom media just teachers are with generic event either under report. they hide what is happening or the law openly in france, most of the of the media are funded by the state they receive subscriptions. 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. and he does say my thinking in north of countries. i don't think they will investigate on that. even the european court of human rights, the international justice course court, they have all closed,

their eyes done. but you know, between her field, thousands and thousands of claims against ukraine during all these 8 years of war. and none of them, none of them was even treated crystal, just a word on yourself. if you live and on bus, you've worked there for many years. you moved from france. how is it there for you right now? right now, it's really hard. we were under you chilling in petoskey, district of done yet. we were so under huge shilling for more than 5 hours. we stayed in the basement for 5 hours. we civilians. i have to say that yesterday was really frightening because the shilling was during almost a whole day and was really striking. almost all the districts don't. yes, crystal, nene, or fighting has been raging in the heavily embattled on key city of severed and yet

can the luke ganske republic pro russian forces say the last that bridge that connected the no encircled ukrainian army, there has been destroyed, entrapping those troops. ukrainian authorities accused rush of destroying the bridge and preventing civilians from fleeing the conflict. so keith has also call for the evacuation of they civilians in question planning to move them across the river into ukrainian held territory. russia, however, believes it's a covert plan to extract the sojourn, sees the evacuation rich at head in the opposite direction. the la guns republic says there are up to 2500 ukranian military personnel currently trumped in severson . yet. gov, whom up to a quarter foreign mercenaries. russia's defense ministry also claims extremist. ukrainian nationalists have been killing fellow soldiers to stop them from surrender. was leaving delivery on a very gifted what has been rising number of cases in recent weeks where ukrainian

nationalist 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 the heil of car. in the did 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 on go a little while ukrainian calls for increased western military assistance are now appearing to be met with more caution in the west. the head of nature has even said ukraine may have to start thinking about whether to trade territory for a peace deal. in stilton burgles so insisted that the military alliance will stay out of the conflict to avoid a potential escalation. is this possible? that's all to question the way. the question is, what price i willing to pay for piece, how much territory, how much in 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 is 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 line, there's going to have to be

a negotiated settlement. and 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 issue. you know, the sustain and coordinator support of the international community led and facilitated by the united states. as it is a significant reason why ukraine is able to stop rush from taking over the country as far as etc. 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 lead 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 are 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 killing. and so that is why i see as of nato secretary general make the state. and i think a 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. the european commission remains undecided about whether to grant membership candidate status to ukraine. disquiet somebody giving precedence to k of has been getting lighter in georgia in moldova, for instance, who've been on the waitlist for years. there's also hesitancy in some e. u. 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 joining under the right conditions both for the you and for ukraine. the you have some pretty basic requirements for ship like being a free market economy. stable democracy and insurance to the rule of law. you member states are running around making international appeals for weapon ization to

fight a hot conflict on her own soil. calling for no fly zone over the country that could start world war 3 or full, the neo nazis into their own forces and pretending that's, you know, totally normal into really cool. that's a lot of baggage and all of these things ukranian, president blinders. lindsey isn't doing while lobbying for you memberships now french president emanuel michael has proposed the sort of consolation prize of a membership in some kind of european political community, as he's coined it, which he says could include countries like ukraine, that ultimately want to be part of the huge sunday. now that's kind of like telling kids at christmas party that they can come eat with the adults, but then seeing them in the kitchen table off the side, you know, with the paper cups, plastic covering napkins, with a 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 the 14 prime minister said something pretty similar recently as well.

we don't need to open at this moment a negotiation or procedure there will take a lot of years. the great risk is to create false expectations that become bitter 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 bell, that row and george and 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 year was coming from member states that are new that 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 ambivalent 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. kill us, move to another of a headline. stories today as western pressure escalates, india remains defiance. amid the world trade organizations restrictions, unsubsidized, agriculture will go through that. in a moment, the country's commerce miniature saves new delhi won't be pushed to run by external forces are about 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 matrix because you pick out a picture of that part of the geneva based w t o cent restrictions. again stake sporting states. busy subsidies crop saying they lead to on for prices on global markets. such subsidies a low indian farmers to grow more weights and rice, that 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. well, in terms of the overall picture, as regards the country, india has seen recent tensions of the west of ritz maintaining our close relations with moscow. amid the ukraine conflict, it's rejected calls from the u. s. cut imports of rush, nor instead increasing purchases are heavily discounted prices. india is now one of the top consumers abreast and energy. while the u. s. has imposed and embargo and imports of the fuel from russia. and he had this to say to deli, regarding instance, 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 the united states. you know, we got some reaction to that, including from an indian political expert, an entrepreneur who said the us 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 at 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 has started. india has a sovereign right to do what is in her self interest. and india has time and again done when some things that justified, for example, with israel with iran, its worked, its, worked along with the western block that was russia and guess energy security,

betterment and india needs to secure herself before moving on. and you don't, if you're thinking of buying who continue to buy, import oil and gas from the show. so i think the indian consumption doing grease is much less 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 or the destruction and we support with the rest. but at the same time, we cannot spoil our relationship with just traditional friendship with russia over mean a friend and has been with us to content. it cannot cut out its import, jeopardize its energy security just because you know, the western countries may have a problem with the country. beacon 2 or 3 countries. i mean at some point in, gosh, look at both energy security which is paramount. the book i get repeat,

india has 1400000000 people in the energy security is spread amount of consumer prices continue to rise towards never before seen leveled in the us. president biden is trying to alleviate pressures on american households and shift the blame to all companies and brushing his approval ratings declined among key voters considerably. 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 can share america. heart rate is what the war grade is. 2 years growing less popular by the our 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 for 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 by and 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, r t. new york. why are we seeing the scenes we are today? and on for explainer is coming your way right ahead along here at the top after the ops with all your global news of the news. the news

i rhonda with with you i guess with you, i am with

full credit. it's going to be out of wood from beach still he's a patient, but in the board with the total is the aggression today i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today . russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing up in your future. when was the question, as you speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine or wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas news?

i. i know they said she was lower, but that was just there she had said to sing for, look, i can get away with joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia, you know, has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. oh gosh, nobody will actually this it or she actually we're not in wiley on the city on their quantity dish has a lot. osha, laura? chad, that the she's us. yeah. i didn't have school or g f, q 3 a i c, h u, she's leroy huddle shell. it's so chris,
