solutions going to we're going to have drastically changed to actually get some of this crisis. the the at least 5 civilians die. and the latest shilling of done yet residential areas reportedly by give forces who are using data weapons to target civilian infrastructure. the european leaders line up to visit ukraine and to promise many things that they themselves are skeptical of including supporting cubes. you association president rather than putting says anti rush and sanctions have failed many causing internal grief for the west itself. plus there is international outrage after britain's home secretary orders the extradition of juliana sized to the us where he faces 175 years in

prison. the backend from direct from studios and moscow. this is art international. sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. are now at least 5 civilians were killed into 12 more injured in the latest shilling of done yet. residential areas by the ukrainian artillery local authorities claim. hundreds of missiles fired at the city were supplied to ukraine by nato. countries of this week has seen the most intense showing of done yet skin 8 years of war, local authority, se civilian infrastructure was targeted, including the local university. a school and many apartment blocks killing dozens, now among the damage. buildings was a maternity hospital, delaney years could, in montana. there were some babies in the intensive care unit, one of whom,

in the rather serious condition, was placed on the ventilator. the rest also need his 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, 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 when artillery struck, 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 right in the basement. some were undergoing surgery. of course it was scary for the like when you move this were relying here on the floor and all of us pregnant were crying. you had a nervous breakdown of reserve and love the mothers who were expected to give her birth. hands are regular conditions. i've been forced to flee into the basement from the hercules, cried the continued for more than 2 hours. i'm glad to have your, i'm sorry, the location went calmly because the staff 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 born, does that and mother doesn't give this to her sons, to send them to walk all the cruelty that you have seen over 80 years, mary,

who now the citizen humane for the so reason, that's the 21st century human life is not valued. this much are in the 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 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, and they'll continue serving women given birth at a different location because it's just simply too dangerous here. meanwhile, in ukraine's east to an. busy depot in the, to the proper thrust region, reportedly gone fire after it was struck by 3 rockets. this is unverified footage published on social media and it shows what appears to be pipelines in flames as a huge column of smoke rises to the sky. according to local reports,

11 people were injured in the attack, which ukraine media have blamed on russia. moscow is yet to comment on the situation. ukraine's previous president pearson polish jenko has admitted that the 2015 minutes peace agreements drawn up to end of the hostilities in the dumbass meant nothing to give. he says that they were only signed to give the government more time to strengthen the military. tim's a truly pity go to school. how did the negotiations in minsk, which is what we wanted, we didn't trust put in then, and we don't now. our task was to avert the threat or to delay the war. it was necessary to get 8 years for us to restore economic growth and build up a powerful military law. this was the 1st task and he was achieved. the men's agreements were broken by russia, france, and germany to end of the civil war in dumbass, in the wake of the key of crew in 2014 the dumbass regions of done yet scandal.

golf refused to recognize ukraine's new government. instead, naming their own leaders, give responded by sending in its military which sparked a civil war, which left tens of thousands dead after ukraine's military offensive failed. cave was forced to sit down for talks, and the subsequent means deals. the dumbass remained part of ukraine while you have agreed to give the republics have done. you can move guns, katana me, and hold new elections in the 7 years since the agreements were signed, the vote did not take place. and when vladimir zelinski replaced shanker as president in 2019, he promised a booster to the peace process. however, those efforts also stalls killed failure to implement them ins roadmap, and the continued shelling of done yet can dance. remaining the primary reasons for russia to launch its military operation in february kennestone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war told us that ukraine's previous president bears full

responsibility for the ongoing military conflict. 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 as for the countries which guaranteed implementation of the minsk agreements, including france and germany and the o. s. c, e o. these countries, they bear responsibility, they were either fools or accomplices of parish ankle because for 8 years they did nothing to stop the, the horrendous loss of life in the nets and the turning of

a 1000000 people into refugees. so they too are to blame. clearly, there was a war being plotted against the people of the donnette and lucon sco republics. and when they tell us how much they care about the people of ukraine, it's not true, it's not true. but it wasn't true in yugoslavia that wasn't true in afghanistan wasn't true and in libya, wasn't true in iraq. this is, these countries are just ponds and a great global game of the u. s. empire. this week, european leaders have rushed to visit ukraine with a new batch of promises to which they themselves appear skeptical. here's our to contribute. rachel marsden with commentary. it seems like there's an unspoken contrast between western leaders to see who can virtue signal hardest by making most trips to hear ukrainian president learners. lensky,

british prime minister course johnson visited, may, as did canadian prime minister just, you know, an u. s. firstly joe biden. and other u. s. officials. the western press had been asking when leaders of european countries would come to visit. so finally, the leaders of france, germany and italy made pilgrimage this week, right before of course, johnson went back. yet again. they marked all the usual us with me. all the usual. surely, let halston have been put me through a prompt has been alongside ukraine since day ones. we stand with the ukrainians without ambiguity. ukraine must resist and made more questionable promises it. wallach greener. italy wants ukraine to be

a candidate for the european union right after the holiday next meeting promises you candidate status for ukraine. don't mean that it's done, deal are going to be done. but we also told them, frankly, this process will take time. there will be conditions, there will be a roadmap which will be made by the commission to be fulfilled. and therefore you will not become a member of european union to morrow. the renewal law, european leaders continue to pledge war weapons free gray. they'll have to get in line behind the other deliveries and hit a snag into conversion from thomas to reality much to the offset a key. it was no, was no above put him on the ocean. we keep telling our partners that ukraine needs modern missile defense systems. our country does not have them at a sufficient level yet line, but it is in our country. and right now it is the greatest need for such weapons in europe. therefore, procrastination with its provision cannot be justified as enough and the pentagon as put the brakes on the by the administration plan to give you credit for. and she wants the grade drums, which should be on the hellfire missiles,

over concerns that the equipment could end up in the hands of the enemy. meaning russia, ali, they don't seem to be too concerned that it could end up in the hands of ukrainian neo nazis or a terrorist jihadists or disappear into the black market. meanwhile, n b. c. news. citing by the administration sources is reporting the bible, the secretary of state asked me blinking and defense secretary, we'd often to tone down the remarks in support of ukraine, which he thought went too far. risk setting, unrealistic goals, and calling walking into a direct conflict with moscow. western european leaders like french president, a veteran that had already been chastised by for suggesting that ukraine consider negotiations and concessions interest in peace. but behind that posture lurks a tacit admission, realistically to conflict isn't likely to result in ukraine. favor against russia,

with the wind is going to have to be negotiated, settlement and what that entails. i don't know. i don't think anybody know some time. and so maybe beneath the surface of this p r trip to keep the real goal was to try to use the whiskey incentive to get to the negotiating table. really meant by dangling the candidate status terrorist. and given good reason to start thinking about winding down the conflicts, it has a crumbling economy, circulation, energy boss, falling ratings, and rating domestic scandals. these western leaders already have more than enough on their political commentator anthony webber says that european leaders are clearly putting their foreign policy agendas. first i cindy, deciding eyes one poor for me. say this is a foreign country,

not for me to recall the interests of my own. my own country is the true. he didn't need to go to the ukraine then, but it's almost like he's trying to off stage the 3 key key man leaders pop up from the, for, from a full from was from the media. and apparently we're trying to look at some piece initiatives in return for fast tracking, d, u n c a n g u, because all the master, the key core and says that and it does seem to prime minister at the time with national roles. try clearing, how many, how economic problems in the try and the new fuel crisis,

along with things which is not catching policy in italian newspaper has compiled a list of individuals. it says are involved in so called russian propaganda publishing their names and photos. the article in korea dela sarah claims 10 individuals among them reporters, as well as a professor and a senior diplomatic official are part of a pro put in network aimed at influencing governments political discourse. we heard from an italian photographer who was surprised to find himself on the list. i'm going to guess of the popular korea deal as soon as publication is something awful because all those who are mentioned in the article are being accused of spreading fakes and supporting what they call russian propaganda. besides that, it doesn't offer any kind of an example of evidence which supports their statements . i am being accused of pro russian political propaganda. but what proof of this

allegation do they have? i spoke directly to their deputy director fiorenza sires johnny who co authored the article i asked her for evidence for at least one example of misinformation which i've ever spread during my career. and she failed to provide any. i told her that the allegations made by the newspaper against me are very serious. the problem is that at the moment we are being compromised among people who follow such newspapers as korea. del sara. people are being discouraged against listening to our news and opinions. and it's a real outrage. the thing is that not a single italian newspaper, a tv channel asked for an interview with us. r t is the only channel which got the idea to call me and ask for my opinion about the situation. in fact, i have never been an unequivocal advocate for russia. i'm just doing my job by reporting what i see. i had already been following the conflict for 8 years and all these years i had a clear view of who was the aggressor. i saw that it was the crane which started the policy of aggression against the russian speaking population of dumbass. i

would also add that unfortunately in the last few years, russia was somewhere in the vicinity. and that somehow served as a constraining factor to avert reprisals against these people. i kept doing my job . i completed my last mission in april, during which i recorded everything that i encountered, interviewed people. and now i can't figure out how it is possible that my professional view is being rejected in italy. italians continue to vehemently oppose the italian government's decision to send arms to ukraine. the latest polls show that 60 percent of italians are openly against these armed deliveries and favor a diplomatic solution to this conflict. over all the majority of italians are tired of following the war, they show ever less interest in war related news. many italians have become thinking more about their pastime, go into the beach, considering this war to be something alien to their lives. vladimir putin has underlined russia's strong response to western efforts to hurt the russian economy

in a speech. on the penultimate the day of the 25th st. petersburg, international economic forum, he discussed the current economic situation. articulate katrinka comments. it's almost been exactly 4 months since russia sent its troops to ukraine. and countries in the west launched a different kind of war against russia and economic war. so it was time for the man in charge on the russian side to give an update. and he chose st. petersburg as the stage to tell the world how russia's coping the number of sanctions is unprecedented to plan was to squeeze russia's economy and drive down people's living conditions. obviously it did not work gloomy forecasts about the prospects of the russian economy have not come true. that is clear that this propaganda campaign has been and remains an instrument of inflammation. wool, but we are strong people. we can cope with any challenge. just as our ancestors did,

i faced holes in moscow see this as a key milestone in how countries around the globe will be switching to trade and national currencies. president vladimir prudent for his part, painted a marquis future for traditional reserve currencies. first and foremost, the was dollar was luke, increasingly in the context of the inflation still many developing countries have a reasonable question. why exchange goods for dollars in euro's which are rapidly losing white? the conclusion is that the economy of imaginary entities is being replaced by the economy of real values and assets such as food energy and of a role materials in the coming years based on objective analysis, the process will be set in motion. mr. brewton last out of his western counterparts for pretty much losing common sense. and literally, as he bought said, forget saying about the interests of their own people, all in

a bed to week in russia, president putin also brought up how russia was being blamed for economic hardships all around the world. which, according to the russian leader, is totally wrong and unfair. yes, the current rising prices and the problem with inflation with susan energy supply, gasoline and the energy sector crisis. all of this is a result of systemic mistakes and the economic policy of the current administration in the us and european bureaucracy. everyone understands the real reasons huge sums of money were printed in this money was used to purchase goods and services outside of western countries. on global markets, taking over supply. no one wanted to think about the interests of other countries, including the poorest. we almost knew that vladimir putin was going to use strong language and pro punches at the u. s. and allies, but the president got very tough. perhaps. even tougher than expected. and this speech almost sounded like

a lecture for russia's enemies shamelessly. sure. but i think we'll hear about this so cold putin's inflation. who is listening to such nonsense. it's intended for those who can't read and write. so that's all people in our country and in the liberator territories, refrain that we will quit and leave the russia. leaders spent quite a while explaining in detail while he ordered the start of rushes, military operation in ukraine. he also pointed out how the painful conflict initially unraveled after western leaders sponsored what moscow called an illegitimate cohen key of in 2014 1st says president cohen, western officials agreed to mediate and guarantee a peace deal between ukraine's nationalist opposition and present in a coven. but then turned a blind eye to the violent overthrow of his government. days later, the russian leader reminded the world how the mind and who was never accepted by

the people of ukraine, south eastern don, vast regions when asked to buy ortiz editor in chief, whether hope keep defending the ethnic russian population. there no matter what mister prudent insisted, that all the goals of the military operation will be accomplished. she will be by yes and they are people in our country and in deliberate territories are afraid that we will quit and leave. will we leave and use them. we will support the people living in these territories, of course, but in the end, only the people who live there will determine the future. so a thorough explanation of russia's vision coming from st. petersburg. let's wait for the next step from both sides. right. also speaking of the forum was the head of russian gas exported gas. prom who stressed that the world's western dominated economic system has been undergoing drastic changes with the u. s. dollar weakening . well, karate mccook, the bretton woods system. 2 point, oh is simply

a paradigm that says our currency, our rules. they tell you how you can use their currency. what you are allowed and not allowed to do in the west makes the laws, but we're seeing the dollar lose. it's a gemini, as payments in other national currencies or on the rise. and finally, the paradigm itself is changing. the priority is being given to another formula, goods, money, goods, we sell gas, then we extract it. our goods are rules. europe has abandoned long term contracts. that means that for those long term contracts that have not been concluded or extended capacities have not been created as a result, spot markets are a liquid. we warned europe about the consequences we were asked to build nord stream to. we built it, but it was not certified the head of the bricks, international form, pro nima, unarmed, told r t that bricks countries must find new ways of economic cooperation due to russia's disconnection from the western swift payment system. mixed countries

should unite and they should propagate their agenda among bixler countries. there's a need of a mix plus countries corporation with brick flows and they should organize their currency because if system is sanctioned for this year. so now 29, when i'm talking to you and i and ratios, exchanges and you on and look at and see. and similarly, india is also planning to exceed the good and repeatable, so couldn't see like europe in utah or we should have, but it's good and see this is very important. and new ideation route a new shipping rules required for the treat. so, so that mix countries can get new strengths and new whites to cooperate. china has taken over from the u. s. as the foreign power seem to have the most

positive influence on africa. that's according to a poll among young adults from the continent of the survey conducted among 18 to 24 year olds. in 16 african countries found that 76 percent considered china as activity as the most positive for the continent. pushing the u. s. into 2nd place, the results illustrate china is rising influence with investments, infrastructure development projects and affordable products listed as its most positive contributions. me, china is a better friend than america. i think it's china because it believes in giving and receiving better with china. with china is better because it could take over the world economy in the future. i believe it's better to be closer to china than the u. s. in the current reality, it's preferable to work with china. me. i believe it's china. i think

china can help african more china is better because it brings its talent and no house here. the u. s. at recently sent a letter to 14 african countries urging them to reject green imports from russia, claiming it was stolen from ukraine. that's with some african areas being at the brink of famine, white house spokesperson has admitted the u. s. wants to prohibit sales of grain and african national congress youth league. chair person told us that support shifted to china as the u. s. was more humane and respectful with the african population is found china to be an honest country to do business with in comparison to the west, which when they arrived here, they did not even see us as human beings. but instead they plowed our mineral resources. they are the ones that bomb to heal shima. they're the ones that got fat, she just to test

a nuclear bomb and just to protect and lasha. so we are students of history. we understand what the intention has been. they have been everywhere in the world where there's been a lot of the sources, an image not to do business there, but it could come age on that people or both of those countries. we are saying that we are going to have relations with the russian people, whether american america loves it or not. we will not be subject to western media, would try to cling to the chinese people as a bad people who are in africa to do wrong things. because we can visibly see here, to help with development, and that to be here. and they see us if equals who they can enter into business with, not the people that they can spin from as the legal team for wiki leagues whistleblower julian assange prepares an appeal after the british home secretary

approved and american bid for his extradition or to don quarter comments now under curious ties between the decision makers and the u. s. is main intelligence body. the 12 year saga of wiki leaks co founder julian assad may be finally coming to its conclusion with washington set to enact its revenge. after 3 years in bel marsh, maximum security prison, you came home secretaries given the green light to extradite the whistleblower to the united states. allowing julian assange to be extradited to the us would put him at great risk incense, a chilling message to journalists, the world over. it is an appalling symbol of how far the british and american governments 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, his sons, to the united states, the country that plotted his assassination, u. s. has been out to get a song since 2010 when he published hundreds of thousands of classified documents.

they illustrated, the american military's apparent disregard for civilian life and potential war crimes committed during its wars throughout the middle east. over the years, the charges from conspiracy to hack us computers to publishing classified information as prohibited by the espionage act, have had a song staring down the barrel of up to 175 years in prison. and as he awaited his extradition ruling a yahoo news report surfaced, claiming that the cia had plans to kidnap and assassinate the songs. the c i plotted to kidnap the wiki leeks founder spring heated debate among trump, administration. officials over the legality and practicality of such an operation. some senior officials inside the cia and the trumpet administration even discussed killing, assigned, going so far as to request sketches or options for how to assassinate him. turns out the u. k, it's home secretary who just approved a sanchez extradition actually has ties to the cia for years. she sat on the

advisory board for a lobbying organization called the henry jackson society alongside lord james abra . not defense minister whose judge wife made 2 key rulings against the sun since its creation in 2006. the groups never revealed who funds it, and at the same time it's hosted more than a few former cia directors at high profile political events. one of them was mike palm pale, who called wiki leaks hostile intelligence service, we say, find the celebration of entities like wiki leave to be both perplexing and deeply troubling. what he likes, walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. he was also in charge of the ca when these alleged plans to do with san harm were made. understanding that and the fact that the society paid patel $2500.00 pounds to attend a security program in washington. it should come as no surprise that assange is likely now on his way to his do. i personally sort that juliana

sanchez, unbreakable. however, he's only human keith severely suffering from fro so much he server is suffering from c collage because start to from all these years when he's not being he's not, he's not free. and he's demo 9th. on the perspective, dad, he will spend the woods of his life in the most oppressive conditions you can have anywhere in the wall is going to break anybody. i'm going to break julia. that's what the doctor say. she's going to commit suicide . if he is a good tonight that doesn't for me this hour i will be back in 29 minutes.
