ah, with at least 5 civilians die in the latest showing of done yet. residential areas reportedly by care forces who are supposedly using nato weapons to target civilian infrastructure. european leaders that line up to visit ukraine to promise many things that they themselves are skeptical of including supporting cubes. you association president vladimir putin says anti russian sanctions have failed many causing internal grief for the west itself. the number of sanctions is unprecedented. the plan was to squeeze brushes, economy, and drive down the people living conditions. obviously,

it did not work gloomy forecasts about the prospects of the russian economy have not come true. but there is international outrage after britons home secretary quarters. the extradition of julian responded to the us where the face is 175 years in prison. with broadcasting from our studios in moscow, this is our teacher, national and john thomas. it's really glad to have you with us. not least, 5 civilians were killed and 12 more injured in the latest showing 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. this week has seen the most intense shelling of done yet skin 8 years of war. local authorities say that civilian infrastructure was targeted, including, excuse me, hospitals, universities, and many apartment blocks killing dozens. among the locations struck was

a local market ortiz, or among costs of, of, went there to assess the damage. ukrainian military continues to terrorize innocent civilians. here in the city of john nest. several districts were targeted by ukraine's artillery on monday afternoon. as the result, 3 people, including a mother and a child were killed. well, there was a lot of fun damage to houses, apartment buildings, the gas pipeline was damaged as well. if you will, deep all was also destroyed. now i'm at one of the places that were hit by shelling right here behind me can see firefighters are still working. trying to put out this . blaze now. ah, a rocket from multiple rocket launcher landed are right here. this is a storage facility, as i understand is sort aerosols and stationary goods as well. so the entire

building is now completely destroyed and that this kind of scenes we can witness. so all throughout the city of the nest. this monday there had been no damage to any military infrastructure and his civilians who continued to suffer from an cosser of r t done at people's republic. all of a sudden some western media held at rushing force is responsible for the market shelling. this is what a german t v news show said during mondays broadcast t a listening to which one is unlocked and they're asked ok initial starter nets dimensions on by them. also sion angles good to to, to me it has a felony. slogans. i'm getting the my 7th bushel stabilization i me is to cut in it soon. humans must close there. okay, initial president. firstly it if it invest the market was in a rush and controlled area of done yes. thus making the likelihood of moscow shelling the city near impossible. so the russian military says, 3 days later,

the sho quietly apologized. it's a blog blaming, so called error is for the erroneous broadcast. we discussed the situation with george last on an american investigative journalist working in the don bus everything. every fact about this situation is obvious. all the evidence is very obvious. when shells a fire, you can tell the direction that they're fired from. it's not very difficult. it's not rocket science, it's that they don't want to know. as long as they don't know, they can continue to blame russia, which, you know, again, is obscene, but that's where we are in this time frame. missile attach the attacks on, on the hospital of mary awful future. you know, why would russia in mucho, why would russia give you manage very neat packages and then you kill the people

they get to life just doesn't work that way. it's not to wait military's work. this week, european meters have rushed to visit ukraine with a new batch of promises to which they themselves are skeptical. here's our to contribute a ritual. marsden with commentary. it seems like there's an unspoken contrast between western leaders to see who can virtue signal the hardest, by making the most trips to hear ukrainian president learners. lensky, british prime minister course johnson visited, may. as did canadian prime minister just, you know, and you asked 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 may pilgrimage this week, right before breast johnson went back. yet they marked all the usual us. i

made all the usual cheerly la halston been coming through her. frances being alongside declines since day one. we stand with the ukrainians. who i'm peggotty. ukraine must resist and made more questionable promises it. wallach. greener. italy wants ukraine to be a candidate for the european union. right off tape hold. it's next meeting promises you candidate status for ukraine. don't mean that it's a done deal are going to be done on that issue. but we also told them, frankly that 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, they will not become a member of the european union to morrow, didn't you? and while european leaders continue to pledge more weapons free grain, they'll have to get in line behind the other deliveries and hit a snag into conversion from promise to reality. much to be upset, a keep in was no,

is no above put him on nation. we keep telling our partners that ukraine needs modern missile defense systems. our country does not have them at a sufficient level yet one, but it is in our country. and right now it is the greatest need for such weapons in europe will be therefore, procrastination with its provision cannot be justified as enough. now the pentagon, as put the brakes on the, by the administration plan to give you credit for. and she wants the great drums, which can be armed with hell, fire 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 biden administration sources is reporting the bible, the secretary of state asked me lincoln and defense. secretary would austin 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 for suggesting that ukraine considered negotiations and concessions in the interesting piece. but behind that posture lurks a tacit admission. realistically the conflict isn't likely to resolve your brains favor on the battlefield against russia. with at some point along the line, there's going to have to be negotiated, settlement or what that entails. i don't know. i don't think anybody knows the time to come to the city. it's up to you crying to the side. we kind of decide to conditions for the end of the war instead of the ukrainians. all decisions are made by the coin in leader. 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 negotiate table . real event by dangling,

the candidate status tourist and give him good reason to start thinking about winding down the conflict. because of the crumbling economy, searching your place in energy boss, falling ratings and rating domestic scandals. these western leaders already have more than enough on their plates. ukraine's previous president, petro pause. shank has admitted that the 2015 minutes get peace agreements drawn up at the end of hostilities in or 2. and rather the hostilities in the dumbass mentioned nothing to kiev, he says that they were only signed to give the government more time to strengthen the militarily gym. they should is pretty good. how did the negotiations in minsk, which is what we wanted, we didn't trust put in them, 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 the don bass, in the wake of the crew of 2014 never done bass regions of done yet can. the ganske refused to recognize ukraine's new government. instead, naming their own leaders responded by sending, and it's military which sparked a civil war, which left tens of thousands dead after ukraine's military offensive failed key was forced to sit down for talks under the subsequent minced deals. the dumbass remained part of ukraine or key of agreed to give the republics have done yet. can the gods god ptolemy, along with their own elections in the 7 years since the agreements were signed, the vote did not take place. now when vladimir zalinski replaced push ankle as president in 2019, he promised a boost to the peace process. however, those efforts also stalled gives failure to implement the misc roadmap and the continued shelling of gun yes. can new 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 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 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. as for the countries which guaranteed implementation of the minster agreements including france and germany and b o s c e. these countries they bear responsibility. they were either fools or accomplices of partially ankle,

because for 8 years they did nothing to stop the, the horrendous loss of life in done that's and the turning of a 1000000 people into refugees. so they to are to blame. clearly, there was a war being plotted against the people of the don that and consequent our 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 us. sloppy. wasn't true enough, gamma stand wasn't true, and in libya, wasn't true in iraq. this is, these countries are just ponds in 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 or part of a pro put in network aimed at influencing the governments political discourse. we heard from an italian photographer who was surprised to find himself on the list with other vaudeville 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. archie 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. i 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 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 has been rejected in italy. italians continue to

vehemently oppose the italian government decision descent arms ukraine. the latest polls show that 60 percent of italians are openly against these arms 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 of alien to their lives. why do we put it has underlined russia's a strong response to western efforts to hurt the russian economy. he noted that attempts to damage the country economically had cause harm to western countries themselves or lead 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. ready st. petersburg as the stage to tell the world how russia's coping is. the number of sanctions is unprecedented. the 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 to that is clear that this propaganda campaign has been em, remains an instrument of inflammation, wool, that 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 putin 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 and the coming is based on objective analysis. the process will be set in motion. mister poo 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 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 on. there you go. but loony free us, it could arise and price isn't the problem. 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 latimer bruton was going to use strong language and throw punches at the u. s. and allies. but the president got very tough, perhaps even tougher than expected. and the speech almost sounded like a lecture for russia's enemies humorously. sure. but i think 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 write . that's all cleveland, i'll country, and in the liberated territories. rephrase that we will quit and leave the russian 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 calls 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. his days later, the russian leader 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 tea's 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 by yet some people in our country and in deliberative territories are afraid that we will quit and leave will relief 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. also speaking of the form was the head of a russian gas exported gas. brom who stressed that the world's western dominated economic system has been undergoing drastic changes with us dollar weakening well gallery 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 norwegian political scientist at glen decent. told our to me from the st. petersburg form the despite the western sanctions and economic pressure on moscow that the russian financial system has stabilized. what the west had, the plan for russia obviously didn't play else because the assumption was that while the 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 by defense supposed to be made into rubble. and instead with we see that the opposite happens. so the, the rubel us is much stronger now than it was even before february. the financial system has been stabilized and well they, because to me it's a set to grow after

a lot of the supply chains chains having to reorganize. and so, obviously, the short term expectation, the short medium term expectation of a lot of western states did not play out the way they'd be expected to see that the well between the western russia, both sides are now expressing a lot of trust. that's been loss and both sides are going to be preparing to effectively live without the other after this divorce. so, it is hard to say how, how will come back together? i think already though there's a lot of discovery of the economic pain. so there's a lot of incentives for it to, to find a way, maybe not going back to the way things war. but the finding some ways of working together again as the legal team for wiki leagues whistleblower gillian found prepares an appeal after the british home. secretary approved in american bid for

his extradition or cheese 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 assange may be finally coming to its conclusion with washington set to enact its revenge. after 3 years in bel marsh, maximum security prison, you case 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 incense, 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, 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 c i 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 ministration even discussed killing his signs. 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 de 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 such since its creation in 2006. the groups never revealed to funds it. and at the same time, it's hosted more than a few former c i a 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 doom. the home secretary appreciate it shows, performances is pretty grievous, pretty, pretty bad. what has happened to the british nobles? 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 and we have this law that we can apply to. anyone don't have to be american citizen. so, you know,

how dangerous is that her independent journalism? let's compose a requiem for it because it's, it's, it's mostly day official, british, a body that handles culture and educational opportunities overseas has been slammed by employees for ignoring complaints of discrimination in kenya, in an anonymous letter, a former and current employees of the british council, who call themselves racial injustice. kenya said that allegations of racial discrimination and physical abuse had not been properly investigated. we write to express our grave concern on systemic discrimination and harassment experienced by kenyans working at the british council in kenya, which we believe needs to be urgently addressed. and example, they give that involving there may be funding or even the limit we will be that

because english as a even can be reached at the latest additions and italy, we never get to hear what it is audited for misleading. with the vision, you know, when doing diplomatic immunity, they cannot be sued. you know, are walking encore. and the only way to sue them is having with the i write in relatives of these invoices. i think that would never happen. they live, i love, long regarded as a key pillar of britain's soft power. the council has launched 2 investigation since 2016 into the complaints, including an incident where an official was accused of making numerous races comments about his employees, which sparked public backlash. internal investigations deemed the comments culturally insensitive, but not racist. british officials have now dismissed the allegations in the anonymous letter as an unjustified attack on the council. charles

wire rule again expressed concerns to us about the rights of canyon workers, especially in cases where foreign employers enjoy diplomatic community. an example they give that in the movie there may be timing or even the i know that it will be that it is in vicious think you're willing to investigate your winter to actually think of his teachers and italy too. we never get to hear what it is audited from the fading was the issue, you know, before during diplomatic immunity they cannot be sold, you know, are lacking. and course, and the only way to sue them is where the, with the i right in the allow themselves to be from in this is a secret that will never happen. they will live, i love. and therefore, we masks raised to they'll give you and get justice for these 4 people. despite

these being busy, crucial in an example, in the example that i give, we proceeded and issued a demand later in the giving that model. that was very fun. we got a position that justice must be brought in until you may think after such the tuition the actually came up in the one or 2. it's a interesting defeat. does it for me? i'll be back in 30 minutes. another look at your weekly stay with us for a b b b.
