ah ah, with and he's 5 people have been killed and 12 wounded in the latest shilling of dawn, yet 50 local officials accuse you crane of intentionally targeting civilians. a prominent c u. s. media outlet takes down $23.00 of its all to cool off discovering they were full of fake news stories including allegations against russia. ukraine

with very well welcome to you. this is on t international with the latest world headlines. it's good to happy with it. now don't you ask officials, they 5 people have been killed and 12 wounded in such a day shelling of the capital city with around 200 artillery rounds, find by the ukrainian forces residential areas are allegedly being intentionally targeted. ah, when is some of the latest footage from the varnish shall of sky and quade by ship district showing the aftermath of the attacks with smoke seen rising above him, pat sites, local officials, they 2 of the victims were emergency services. workers killed were working at the scene of an earlier shelling attack. and his latest drone footage from don yet

shows smoke rising go for a building. the city stadium also struck by ukrainian artillery. the number of casualties at that particular site has not yet been confirmed. i'll correspondence, vermont concert reports from the scene, the shelling of civilian areas of the nest continue. this says saturday from the very morning we're heard several explosions right here in the center of the city. just for you to understand this is the arena here in donetta. the one that is welcomed matches of it's one to 12 european championship and a right behind me, a building is on fire. wants to get a lot of civilian infrastructure, had been damaged here in don't ask and quote, military infrastructure. i haven't heard any damage to it. so for rahman coffer of our t, done as people's republic, a university chemistry faculty was among the damaged buildings. luckily,

there's been no reports. the victims from the site. a local professor says he witnessed the chalet which he described to us in detail. yes, we're going to go. i was just walking along the university campus and was approaching the building when the shelling began. shells were flying right overhead . people were running their explosions all around. i run up to the university, i was just on my way to work back and then came the explosions. there was shattered glass all around me. i think the shells probably from the recent deliveries from nato, because it showed didn't look like grad rockets, which usually somewhat weaker. and there's a lot more destruction head wind rush as defense, ministry has released fresh footage of its attack, helicopters, conducting pinpoint strike fun, ukrainian army positions. launching rockets were more than 5 kilometers away from that targets destroying a command post and several on the vehicles of the opposing side. as a new twist, the most being called the fake news war over ukraine,

where the report of the usa today resigning and shame off of the outlet admitted she cooked up fax for 23 of her stories. the only reveal that some individuals quoted when not affiliated with the organizations claimed and appeared to be fabricated. the existence of, of individuals quoted could not be independently verified. in addition, some stories included quotes that should have been credited to others. as a result, usa today remove 23 articles from its website and other platforms for not meeting our editorial standards. miranda has resigned as a reporter, at least 2 on the report of fake news articles have focused on the conflict in ukraine, alleging negligence by russian forces also, they'd seize the pros, the nuclear power plant in southern ukraine. the bulged article claimed the russians had threatened to blow up the facility, or another piece by the shamed reporter focused on the stories of ukrainian women on the front lines which were also made up. now let's have a shoot,

an apology for the fake news piece is well promising to improve its facts, checking the pulled stories during a library of fabrications pumps out by the mainstream media since the start of the military conflict. they've gail a radio host on political commentator told this very troubling the western that loose continue to publish lies about ukraine. i don't think anybody believes if this was the only reporter engaged in this kind of making up quotes, making up stories. it takes a culture to produce that kind of outright buy a pattern. and i think the real irony is this is a publication that does the fact checking for facebook. people that get hired at newspapers by editors that have a liberal bit by their supervisor, to have a little bit of a journalism colleges that they go to that have a liberal that they come in with a perspective that is not necessarily a, an accurate world view. and then it gets promoted with was not only who hires them,

but who promotes them. so i think it's a major problem. we've seen it in the us for a long time. and i think it's a dangerous problem because it's, if the public isn't getting the truth, it really is hard for a democracy, a republic operate. i hope that usa today won't stop with this incident again. i think there's a culture of this information that is taking place in the media globally. and certainly in the united states, we've seen it with the smear campaign directed against president trump in the last 4 years. so i hope that they don't stop with this firing. this apology and think that their work is done. again, they have hundreds of newspapers and other media outlets. they're owned by ganette and they need to be searching every one to say that the same thing is not happening because i think it's more of a culture than it is just one road reporter. okay, prime minister barak johnson is facing backlash from and pays off the skeptical conference at home and faith as making a surprise visit to kids doesn't spokesperson allows. he will not be attending the summit in the u. k. just hours before he was expected to speak. he had been absent

leadership pretty much sums up this government's approach to the country's problems . it's not an excuse. he could have gone there any time. even his most loyal supporters here are pretty pissed off. this is the 1st test of outreach to his colleagues and he has failed it. the prime minister is also being accused of showing total content for his colleagues. i want push m p 's voice that outrage johnson was busy being entertained by president zelinski in k, as well discussing additional u. k. military support for ukraine. johnson's on announced a visit come shortly after the german, french and italian leaders came to keep the talks on thursday. but he'll come and say to anthony webber, say the british premier, it's kelly putting his foreign policy agenda. basically, deciding eyes were important for me, say, this is a foreign country for me to recall the interests of my own. my own country

is the true. he didn't need to go to the ukraine, but it's almost like he is trying to off stage the 3 key to you. my leaders pharmacy for farms are cool. so to pull from was from media i via apparently were trying to look at some piece initiatives in return for foss tracking d, u n. c, b kind. and she, the, you, all the master. the key points is that it does seem to prime minister as a sign whether or not. so let's try clearing out money, economic problems in the try and the neutral crisis,

a low risk things, which is not catching policy. and cranes, previous president petro portia, and co has admitted that the 20142015 minutes peace agreements to end the civil war . and don't boss meant nothing for keith and only gave more time to militarize the country. jim's, if it is pretty good, and how does initiations in miscounted, which is what we wanted, we didn't trust, put him down. and we don't. now, our task was to avoid the threat or to do the war. it was necessary to get 8 years for us to restore economic growth. abuse of a powerful military. um, well this was the 1st task i mean was achieved. what is the results of the main screen? we whims, age, years to cree drop. we whim, a tiers to restore economy. medical treatments were broken by russia, france, and germany to end the military. conflicts between ki, i've done yes and la ganske,

after the 2014 qx in key, as the dumbass republics proclaimed their independence. they care responded by sending in the military to put down the rebellion. the conflicts boxes, civil war that left thousands killed, kia, was forced to cool off its troops and sit down for talks of its military found to take the capital city of don yeske angela ganske. under the men's deals, ukraine's government agreed to give the republic some autonomy, although they would still remain part of ukraine. however, mutual shell and continued for years. when that vladimir lensky replace push anchor was president in 2019, he promised to boost that the peace process. however, those efforts stalled, again, keeps failure to implement the men's road map and the continued hostilities with don yes, guns, la guns forces were among the primary reasons for russia to launch a military operation in february. let's discuss this further. now let's prostate kennestone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. thank you for joining us on

the program. now, do you think petro portion carries basically speaking, on behalf of all those european states a, which guaranteed the implementation of minsk agreements. and should they also bear responsibility for kids admitted refusal to implement those those in the 1st place? i believe that poorer shinkel was speaking on his own behalf, but significantly in his own words and in front of the entire world, he has admitted that during his entire term as president of ukraine from 2014 to 2018. he undermined he deliberately sabotaged the immense sc agreements he bargained in bad faith. and therefore he is an author of the current military conflict in ukraine and should be held responsible after the war. if there is some kind of tribunal and asked for the countries which guaranteed implementation of the minsk agreements, including france and germany and the

o. s. c. these countries don't need his poorer shank owes admission to, to apologize for the terrible job that they did in guaranteeing and failing to guarantee the men scorecards de baron responsibility. they were either fools or accomplices of par shinkel because for 8 years they did nothing to stop the, the horrendous loss of life in gun that's and the turning of a 1000000 people into refugees. so they to are to blame. and now we have this latest revelation from ukraine's former president. how does it make you feel? now how is it making view rushes decision to what it to, what do, what it says was to protect the russian speaking population of dumbass with force because otherwise they said they would have seen it a military offensive from ukraine. that well, it doesn't require portions per share calls latest revelations to

justify the russian special military operation in ukraine. but it does give additional credence to mister putin's remarks said, stating that he was invoking the united nations article 5th charter, $51.00 article 2 in self defense. because clearly, there was a war being plotted against the people of the don that and lou consulate our republics. and the war was part of nato strategy to destroyed, or in the words of christie, of freeland, the deputy prime minister of canada, to vanquish the russian federation. those were her exact words in her latest budget in which he donated an extra $500000000.00 to cranny. so clearly, nato had

a plan and the plan was to do to the yugoslavia due to the russian federation. what they had done in the $900.00 nineties, to the yugoslavian federation, that is to destroy and dismember it. and that's why across canada, next week, starting on the 24th going to the 30th of june, they'll be canada wide rallies and actions to, to denounce nato's summit and madrid. and to call for an end of natal proxy wars, such as the one in ukraine. now we know the minister agreements were mediated, not just by russia, but by france and germany. do you think that russia should now think twice before relying on any deals with the current governments off base countries? i absolutely agree that russia should think twice before entering and into any agreements with the country that were supposed to guarantee minsk records came into

effect, but turned a blind eye to the war. making preparations by the prop park shank of government and by nato to turn ukraine into a de facto nato state and its army into a defacto nato army. i think that russia should think twice in the future. ready about any dealings with such countries at portia and he's now being actively prosecuted by care of on charges of state treason. and the investigation started under these landscape ministration. as part of a, a white, a crackdown on the opposition was your take on that. i think it shows the bizarre nature of ukrainian politics. par shanker, was not being charged because he failed to live up to the minsk agreements, or that he failed to bargain in good faith. he, he was charged with profiting by profiting over dealings with the

2 independent republics and our own deputy prime minister here, christy freeland, intervened with mister lansky to try and help him try to try and persuade him to stop the prosecution of par shanker because it was bad optics for the ukrainian government, ukrainian regime. that is such such a darling of the countries here in the west for a shank always are criminal but not because he, he was the he was dealing with the republics in the don bass in any good way. we're dealing with them by bargaining in bad faith and using the 8 years between 20142022. in order to build up

a war machine to build fortifications to get nato. busy arms to get training from canada, 33000 troops in ukraine were trained by canada, including notorious as of battalion. and that was with the full knowledge of the canadian government. so mister per shinkel is a criminal in my eyes because he helped to start a war and continue a war against the don bass. and he's never to believe forced russia into declaring a special military operation. ready so he's a criminal for that. we know in his latest entity is parish. i also praise the united states and britain forgiving ukraine. tons of weapons and millions of dollars worth of weapons. and do you think people that really want to get involved in the conflict? thousands of miles away though. oh, yes, the us and nato, including canada,

have been gunning for the russian federation for 30 years now. ever since they lie to gorbachev back in 199091. when they told him nato would not expand even one inch eastward over reunited germany. in fact, nato expanded a 100 kilometers and took in 14 former soviet republics and warsaw pact, countries as near the allies. and they were in the process of turning ukraine after b. u. s coo and kia in 2014 into a de facto nato state. the idea was, it's part of the u. s. grant chessboard, their grand scheme of world hedge ammonia, and they intend to destroy russia and dismember at the better to gobble up its component parts. this is part of the u. s. global strategy, and in canada and around the world. people,

ordinary people have no stake in this. no stake whatsoever. and when they tell us how much they care about the people of ukraine, it's not true, it's not true. it wasn't true in us flavio. it wasn't true in afghan stand, wasn't true, and in libya, it wasn't true in iraq. this is, these countries are just ponds in a great global game of the u. s. empire and people should hit the streets at the end of this month to demonstrate against the u. s. and nato policies that are going to be a nancy, aided and further strengthened in madrid. on january, june 29th and 30th. 10000 from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. many thanks for your time. we appreciate it or gone through a public official say some ukrainian soldiers have surrendered as a local chemical plant in the city of several. don't you ask officials said the exact number of military prisoners on their affiliation to search in unit is not

being disclosed for security reasons to avoid the potential persecution of their relatives in ukraine. up to 2 and a half 1000 troops, including foreign mercenaries, i believe, to be hold up inside the embattled city's sprawling industrial zone. well, several western mercenaries were also among a group of recently captured competence in northeast and ukraine. we sat down with 2 of them, both americans to find out what brought them to the war zone. just a warning we have not been able to independently verify that claims on. it was reported in or, you know, prior to like january, february of this year, i really knew i couldn't even tell you where ukraine was on a map, to be honest. we were not getting that news. but when things kinda started bubbling up and then kicking off here, they did start reporting on the fact that there had been conflict in dumbass for, for the past 8 years. but it was always presented as russian aggression in that

area. we were not told about any ukrainian attacks were, were told about the ukrainians is that they were in trenches really ready to defend initially when the conflict started on february 24th. i saw a lot of news. and again, i now believe that there were propaganda from the west side, not visibly just america, but the west as a whole. that is that right russian for his work. got it like indiscriminately killing like williams and through my travels. i did not see that i would say it was probably my eagerness. my stupidity coming here with not a lot of knowledge of the conflict at all. i hope one day i can go home to my wife and start a family and forget the conflict list. try to live on people not to come here. the me, i don't know the location, but we were in the like

a forest carkeek area. we engage in combat with russian troops. the ukraine were retreating and we were asked to cover their retreat. when we were covering them, the russian forces ran over in our position. we had to like fully, ritchie and when one of my colleagues and i waited about 3 hours in a fighting hole, just you make sure the coast is clear. after those 3 hours, we ended up walking 4 through the woods for about 5 hours. we eventually got onto the road. when we surrender to russian forces, it's not my war. i feel for the ukrainian and people i feel for the russian people, you know, i feel for everyone involved because, or is, is terrible regardless of the circumstances. i don't know why the west focus is,

is just sending weapons, weapons, weapons, money, money, money. there is a diplomatic solution to this problem somewhere, but it's going to take some time to get there. and i just think that they're at this time, they're not willing to deal with it. so they'd rather just give a bunch stuff to ukraine and let it be ukraine's problem. i would say to anyone who is thinking about coming over, you think really long and hard about about why you're doing it and what can happen and, and if this is really your fight, if this is really something that you need to be doing, one of the well, the biggest and most important business events, the st. petersburg, international economic forum, roundtop on saturday office, several events full days. me on friday rushes president delivered a key speech on global economic issues at the event. the military operation in ukraine was also in the spotlight fundament putin stress that russia will not

abandon the people of dumbass who need moscow protection. you can use them with an issue shooting to course we will protect the interests of those people for whom are guys fighting there today, getting injured and dying. there is only one way through this. what else to these sacrifices for its course? we will support the people who live in these territories, but in the end only the people who live there will determine their own future. and we will respect any choice they make. the weaker person also weighed in on a range of other topics in his speech, including how the so called blitz creek of western sanctions against moscow has failed. the president mentioned an inevitable end of the unit polar world order, and the importance of technological sovereignty to insure russia can produce and provide for itself while avoiding international self isolation. going well the foremost welcome to number of high profile guests from around the world, among them norwegian political scientists. glenn decent,

who explained how russia's economy has, whether the storm of western sanctions, what the west had, the plan for russia obviously didn't play out because the assumption was done and well done before the end of the week. and effectively, the russian economy was going to be decimated, the financial system was supposed to collapse, the currency was certified and said supposed to be a made into rubble. and so instead we, we see that the opposite has happened. so the, the rubel us is much stronger now than it was even before february. and the financial system has been stabilized and, well, they, the economy, a suspect to grow after a lot of the supply chains, chains have been reorganized. and so it's obviously the short term expectation, the short to medium term expectation of a lot of western states did not play out the way that they be expected to receive the air between the western russia. both sides are now expressing

a lot of trust has been loss, and both sides argued that they've been preparing to effectively live without the other after this divorce. as so it is hard to say how, how would come back together. i think already though, this a lot of discovery of the economic pain. and so this a lot of incentives for it to, to find a way of a, maybe not going back to the way things war. but finding some ways of working together again, ah, with whistle blower, julian assange facing up to a 175 years in u. s. prison on espionage charges. and family has announced the wikileaks co founders extradition order to the u. s. which was approved by london on friday, the u. k. home secretary, confusion to high atrocity and we know that from history that that can be done. and the u. k. should not be doing that. it should

not be engaging in prosecution on behalf of a foreign power that is out for revenge. jason, with a country publishing evidence of war, georgia and corruption. what decision made is that basic turn with people every day? probation publishing information is now legal. k, u. k, home secretary's decision, the spark to international outrage, human rights organizations such as the committee to protect journalists and honesty . international have spoken up for julian assange. the extradition of julian assange to the united states to face trial on charges under the century old espionage act as a blow to press freedom with implications for journalists everywhere. we urge the bite and administration to live up to it stated commitment to

a free press by dropping all charges against the wiki leaks founder. allowing julian his son to be expedited to the u. s. would put him at great risk incense or chilling message to journalists, the world over we call on the u. k. to refrain from expediting julian assange for the us to drop the charges and for a songy to be freed hard to believe. but it looks real. every serious press freedom group in the world has protested this. it is an appalling symbol of how far the british and american government's commitment to human rights has declined. anyone in this country who cares about freedom of expression should be deeply ashamed that the home secretary has approved. the extradition of julian assange to the united states, the country that plotted his assassination authorities legal case has been going on for years and 2019 has asylum was revoked in the ecuadorian embassy in london, where he'd been hiding since skipping bail. he was then arrested by u. k. authorities and sent to the bell marsh, maximum security prison in 2021 off to extra disapproving it on friday. a

thumbs came under us scrutiny in 2010 after wikileaks published tribes, if classified information about the war with nath galveston under rock, exposing footage of american soldiers indiscriminately gunning down civilians, they expose. they also revealed torture and prison. a death that they notorious guantanamo bay detention cam. colors pervaded thorns. his lawyer in ecuador, says london's extradition older is a threat to journalists world wide jim crimson. so ever since, sec, little grunted political asylum to julian, the salvage. we have been warning the decisions on the case could sets a dangerous precedent in august based on these principles. the former president of ecuador, rafael korea, describes such actions as the persecution of freedom of speech. all this time we have been insisting, and now we are especially insisting that this could be a disastrous precedent for investigative journalism, for freedom of speech. and for us ordinary citizens as recipients of information

produced by the medium. in other words, any person, any journalists who tries to condemn the illegal actions of a powerful states will have to serve a prison sentence on the territory of this state. so it's not just about to son. this is our common cause of fighting for freedom of speech, and it should consent, all journalists, regardless of where they come from, and what media they represent. this is a kind of gag law that hinders their activities. salutary. thank you for keeping us company herron ality international went back in 30 minutes with all the latest. ah.
