solutions going to we're going to have to drastically change direction the are to come up with this crisis a a at least 5 civilians die. and the latest shilling of done yet residential areas, reportedly by forces who are reported using nato weapons to target civilian infrastructure. european leaders line up to visit ukraine to promise things. many things that are they themselves are skeptical of including supporting you. association president vladimir putin says anti russian sanctions have failed many causing internal grief for the west. it felt the number of sanctions is unprecedented. the plan was to squeeze bush's economy and drive down people's

living conditions. obviously, it did not work gloomy forecast about the prospect of the russian economy have not come through in class. there is an international outrage after britain's home secretary borders the extradition of julie massage to the us where he faces 175 years in prison with by casting my director more severe in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, at least 5 civilians were killed and 12 more injured in the latest showing of done yet. residential areas reportedly by the ukrainian artillery local authorities claim. hundreds of missiles fired at the city were supplied to grain by nato countries. now this week has seen the most intense shelling of the done yet and republic capital and 8 years of more local authority say civilian infrastructure

was targeted, including the local university. a school and many apartment blocks killing dozens with huge amounts of missiles from it. nearby of d f, a city under ukrainian control around 20 kilometers to the south of done yet. city ortiz ego john of visited the front line. ah, this frontline is just outside the city of the nets and according to the military here, the ukrainians over there, they've amassed a significant amount of manpower and military vehicles in a matter of the past week. basically here's what happened. they had to retreat from the north because that's where they're being pushed by the than that people's republics militia. so they have no other option, but to go to of day of car where they have various work, basically stronghold it's a fortress so they can hide that. so they're concentrated in the this is the

percent of the ukrainian forces just outside of the nets can from there they can, well they can shoot and shell in all directions. basically from over there, they're shelling civilians in genetic civilians and other villages and towns here and quite often the use. so this is the remains of a polish shell and it's aluminum. and what's very special about it is that you can't hear it normally. you can hear the hissing sound of mine as it's approaching you, or is it, or is it flies above you? these don't make a sound. these are silent killers. and in general, according to the military, they seem ukrainian seem to be running out of soviet ammunition. because more and more they're finding these western made remains of the armament, whitney, lisa you which import on the notion which they've really strengthened their positions in our part of the front in africa, in the direction of the village of spartak. we suspect they did. this is our

soldiers squeezed them down from the north and they moved people here along the only road that can still be driven on. they've brought artillery systems and tanks here and camouflaged their positions. but we're gradually forcing them out. they've moved over here because there are 2 large heavy, concrete fortified areas in a former military base in the area. and you know, the little frontline town of spar tuck is tormented like it hasn't been in years. the ukrainian forces are hitting it with all the military might. they've got there . but while it looks deserted, a handful of civilians still lived there. many out of principal of normal what i've been living here for a long time, more than 40 years. i've lived through the whole war here. i haven't gone anywhere . we started living in the basement when the war began and all the utilities were disconnected. the electricity was set off literally in a week's time. shortly after that the water was turned off, and then

a week later the gas was cut off. in the winter, it's clear that the apartment is unheeded. so we've been living in the basement to get the ah those who decided to stay, they have to live in conditions like this, especially given the increased volume over the bombardments coming and bombs falling from the ukrainian side. of course, this is no block to re hotel, but they have an improvised something of stover fireplace, a couple of bunk beds. but notice how neat it is here. little improvised shelves. something like a rock here. so even given that people here, of course, they have to survive and will really die conditions. this is miles better compared to what we've seen as of style steel plant, for example,

where the as of neo nazi fight as well. this is much cleaner, much better, much neat and much more of a home this week here, p leaders have rushed to visit ukraine with a new batch of promises to which they themselves are skeptical. here's our t contributor, ritual marsden with commentary. it seems like there's an unspoken contrast between western leaders to see who can virtue signal hardest by making the most trips to hear ukrainian president letters. lensky british prime minister force johnson visited. ready may, as did canadian prime minister just to know and you ask firstly joe biden and other talk 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 johnson went back. yet again, they marked all the usual us and

made all the usual cheerleading statements that holds the people who francis being alongside ukraine since day one. we stand with ukrainians. who i'm peggotty. ukraine must resist and made more watchable promises it wallach. you. grain of italy wants ukraine to be a candidate for the european union right after the whole. his next meeting promises you candidate status for ukraine. don't mean that it's a done deal or ganita and it is you. but we also tell them frankly, that this process will take time. there will be conditions, there'll be a roadmap which will be made by the commission to be fulfilled, and therefore they will not become a member of the european union to morrow. and while european leaders continue to pledge more weapons free grain, they'll have to get in line behind the other deliveries and his snag into

conversion from promise to reality must be upset and was no reasonable 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 will. therefore, procrastination with its provision cannot be justified as xena. and now the pentagon as put the brakes on the by the administration plan to give you credit for . and she wants the great drugs, which can be armed with 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, and b. c. news, citing by the administration sources is reporting the bible, the secretary of state asked me lincoln and defense secretary would often to tone down their remarks in support of ukraine, which he thought went too far. risk setting, unrealistic goals,

and pulling washington into a direct conflict with moscow. western european leaders like french president, a veteran that had already been chastised by here for suggesting that ukraine considered oceans and concessions in the interesting piece. but behind that posture looks a tacit admission, realistically, to conflict isn't likely to resolve ukraine's favor on the battlefield against russia. with some poor wine, there's going to have to be negotiated, settlement, or what that entails. i don't know. i don't think anybody know some time to come to the city, it's all to ukraine to the side. we kind of decide the conditions for the end of the war instead of the ukrainians. all decisions are made by the coin and leader. i don't. so maybe beneath the surface of this p r trek to heave, 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 give him good reason to start thinking about winding down the conflict because of the crumbling economy, circulation, energy boss, falling ratings, and rating domestic animals. these western leaders already have more than enough on their plates. political commentator anthony webber says, european leaders are clearly putting their foreign policy agendas 1st. if i said he was citing is more important for me, say, this is a foreign country. now for me to recall the interests of mario and my own country. i'm so is the true, he didn't need to go to the ukraine then, but he's all i slide. he's trying to off stage the 3 key here, man leaders pop up from a c 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 id you and see the through trained and see you. but of course, last all the master, the key points is that and it does seem to prime minister at the time when there's a national rail strike created many, many economic problems in the u. k. and the new fuel crisis, along with things which is not catching policy. ukraine's the previous president petro portion go, has admitted that the 2015 minutes peace agreements drawn up to end the hostilities in the dumbass meant nothing to give. he says that they were only signed to give

the government more time to strengthen militarily. seems to be to go to school. how did the negotiations in minsk and 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 bills of a powerful military. and i love this was the 1st task and he was a chieftain. yeah. the main agreements were brokered by russia, france, and germany to end of the civil war in don bass in the wake of the key of crew of 2014, the dumbass regions of done yet can lugens, can refuse to recognize ukraine's new government. instead, naming their own leaders have responded by sending, and it's military which sparked to civil war, which left tens of thousands bed after ukraine's military offensive failed cube was forced to sit down for talks under the subsequent means deals. the dumbass remained part of ukraine while you've agreed to give the republics i've done the scan lugens

autonomy along with their own elections in the 7 years since the agreements were signed, the vote did not take place. when vitamin lensky replaced portia and go as president in 2019 the promised a boost to the peace process however, was efforts also stalled give failure to implement the minced roadmap and the continued shilling of done yet. campbell guns were among 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 there's 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 agreement 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, 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 done 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. 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 and 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 a network aimed at influencing of the governments political discourse. we heard from an italian photographer who was surprised to find himself on the list. i'm a little guess about the korea dela sarah's 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 ciriani, who co authored the article i asked her for evidence for at least one example of misinformation which i have 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, dela santa 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. art he 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 ukraine which started

the policy of aggression against the russian speaking population of dumbass. i would also add that unfortunately in the last 2 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 opposed 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, strong response to western efforts to hurt the russian economy. he noted that attempts to damage the country economically had caused harm to western countries themselves, or cheesy labor, tranquil 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. an 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 is. the number of sanctions is unprecedented to plan was to squeeze bushes, 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 em, remains an instrument of information 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 market future for traditional reserve currencies. first and foremost, the was dollar with luke and recently in the context of the inflation still many developing countries have a reasonable question. why exchange goods for dollars and euro's which are rapidly losing white? the conclusion is that the economy of imaginary entities is being placed by the economy of real values and assets such as food energy. another role materials in the coming is based on objective analysis. the process will be set in motion. mister pou last out of his western counterparts for pretty much losing common sense . and literally, as he put said, forget thing about the interest of their own people all in a bid 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, eagle up, well doing free us the current rising prices. and the problem of inflation was 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 enemy,

humorously. sure. but that was the way we will hear about this. so cold putin's inflation who's listening to such nonsense, it's intended for those who can't read and writes, that's all people in our country and in the liberator territories, refrain that we will quit and leave the russia leader 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 coach. but then turned a blind eye to the violent overthrow of his government just days later, watching the to reminded the world how the my dad, who was never accepted by the people of ukraine,

south eastern don bass regions when asked to buy our teeth editor in chief whether hope keep defending the ethnic washing population there no matter what mister prudent insisted, that all the goals of the military operation will be accomplished. she will be by yet they are people in our country and in deliberative 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. now also speaking at the form was the head of the russian gas export das. prom who stressed that the world's western dominated economic system has been undergoing drastic changes with 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 origin, political scientists, glenn decent, told r. t from the st. petersburg form that despite the western infections and economic pressure on moscow, russian financial system established 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 weekend, 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 made into rubble. and the instead we, we see that the opposite us up. and so the rubel us is much stronger now than it was even before february. and the financial system has been stabilized. and while they, the economy is set 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 expected to see that the 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 is. so it is hard to say how how would come

back together. i think already though there's a lot of discovery of the economic pain. so this a lot of incentives for it to, to find a way of a, maybe not going back to the way things more, but the finding some ways of working together again as the legal team for wiki leaks, whistleblower gillian assange prepares an appeal after the british home secretary approved and american bid for his extradition ortiz don quarter comments on the curious ties between the decision makers and the u. s. 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 u. k. it's home secretary is 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 and sends a chilling message to journalists, the world over. it is an appalling symbol of how far the british 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 assigned 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 san. the c i plotted

to kidnap the wikileaks 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. it turns out the u. k. is home secretary who just approve the 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 laura james abra . not defense minister whose judge wife made 2 key rulings against the such since its creation in 2006. the groups never revealed to funds it. and at the same time its hosted more than a few former ca directors at high profile political events. one of them was mike, palm pale, who called wiki leaks a hostile intelligence service. we have

a 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 are legit 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 assigns is likely now on his way to his due to home secretary appreciate it shows performances . this is pretty agree, jewish pretty, pretty bad. what has happened to the british nobles or there are no english nobles. now it looks like they're just all vessels of the united states. i am ashamed of what's happened to our penal system. if people in the united states think they can use the espionage act of 1917,

my andrew against german spies to pursue capture and put in prison for the rest to day lives. journalists, whether they be australians or uruguayan, zora ice lands, or if they live in antartica or in the arctic, we can get you because we're the united states, or we have this a law that we can apply to. anyone doesn't have to be american citizen. so, you know, how dangerous is that independent journalism? let's compose a requiem for it because it's, it's, it's mostly day the for me, i will be back and let's say 30 minutes with another full and fresh look at your weekly thing with the fact international with . mm well don't middle alex,

she's just gonna let him get nobody but i just want a level that he thought young real name is logical law school of college. cool. with which yeah. is it public? is there to be a number big enough feel. okay. that make you go this night to put in the museum from bush and below that season. now she did the with them. if they did with it just had like i don't, i don't buy a deal. this wouldn't have happened there from dado. invite him to push this agenda which war but that because i'm yeah this week, boston got a city to what about a, a good a.
