very dramatic development only really and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk with at least 5 civilians die. and the latest shelling of done yet residential areas by team forces, or using nato weapons to target civilian infrastructure. european leaders line up to visit ukraine to promised many things that they themselves are skeptical of including supporting cubes. you association with president vladimir putin says anti russian sanctions have failed many causing internal grief for the west. and so the number of sanctions is unprecedented. the plan was to squeeze brushes, economy, and drive down people's living conditions. obviously it did not work gloomy forecasts

about the prospect solution economy have not come true. but there's international outrage after britain is home secretary orders the extradition of julian, astonished to the us, where he faith is 175 years in prison with broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you. with us right now, at least 5 civilians were killed and 12 more injured in the latest shelling of done yet. residential areas, reportedly by ukrainian artillery local authorities claim. hundreds of missiles fired at the city where is supplied to ukraine by nato countries. this week has seen some of the most intense shelling i've done yet. gimme 8 years of war, local authority say civilian infrastructure was targeted, including hospitals, universities, and many apartment blocks killing dozens among the locations struck. was

a local market diesel mancuso went there to assess the damage ukrainian military continues to terrorize innocent civilians here in the city of dun next. 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 damage to houses, apartment buildings, the gas pipeline was damaged as well. if you will, depot 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, rochard from a 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 is civilians who continue to suffer from on costs are of artsy, done as people's republic. all sudden, some western media held russian force is responsible for the market showing. this is what a german t v news show said during mondays broadcast t alyssa needs to place fundies max in the us. ok innocence, that the nets, dimensions on by the musician angles get to, to me as i find that slots, i'm getting the most even bushel stabilization i me is to clean it soon. name and my bills that will come in as a president. first it invest. the market was in a russian controlled area of done yet, thus making the likelihood of moscow showing the city near impossible. 3 days later, the show quietly apologized in its blog, blaming,

so called errors for the erroneous broadcast. we discussed the situation with george last on an american investigative journalist working in the dumbass. everything. every fact about this situation is obvious. all the evidence is very obvious. when shells a flyer, 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. the missile attacks the attacks on, on the hospital and mary awful. i'm mucho, you know, why would russia in mucho, why would russia give you manager in 8 packages and then jump kill the people they get and do life just doesn't work that way. it's not to wait military's work. this

week, european leaders have rushed to visit ukraine with a new batch of promises to which they themselves seem skeptical. years are t contributor ritual margin with commentary. it seems like there's an unspoken contest between western leaders to see who can virtue signal hardest by making the most trips to hear ukrainian president learners. lensky bruce prime minister, worse johnson visited, may, as did canadian prime minister just to know. and you asked firstly, joe biden. and other top 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 breast johnson went back. yet again, they marked all the usual loss i

made all the usual cheerleading statements. the hall that been coming through. frances, being alongside declines since day one. we stand with ukrainians who i'm peggotty. ukraine must resist and made more questionable promises it wallach graneye, italy wants ukraine to be a candidate for the european union right off to hold his next meeting. promises you candidate status for ukraine. don't me that it's a done deal. are going to be done on that issue, 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 conversion from promise to reality. much to the upset. it 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 the pentagon as put the brakes on the administration's plan to give you credit for and she wants the grade runs, 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 block market. meanwhile, n b. c. news, citing biden administration sources is reporting the bible. the secretary of state asked me blinking 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

amendment that had already been chastised by for suggesting that ukraine considered it oceans and concessions interesting piece. but behind that posture lurks a tacit admission. realistically, the conflict isn't likely to resolve in 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 knows the time to come to the city. it's up to you crying 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. so maybe beneath the surface of this p r trip 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 given good reason to start thinking about winding down the conflict, it has

a crumbling economy. certainly inflation and energy boss, falling ratings, and rating domestic scandals. these western leaders already have more than enough on their plate. ukraine's previous president petra poor shanker, 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. jim's should is pretty good. 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. and this was the 1st task and he was achieved. the men's agreements were brokered by russia, france, and germany to end the civil war in don bass. in the wake of the key of coo of 2014,

the dumbass regions of don yeske and lou ganske refused to recognise 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 sailed. he was forced to sit down for talks under the subsequent men's deals. the dumbass remained part of ukraine while you have agreed to give the republics of don. yes, campbell guns autonomy along with their own elections in the 7 years since the agreements were signed, the vote did not take place. when vladimir lensky replaced the persian co as president in 2019, he promised to boost to the peace process. however, those efforts also stalled failure to implement the misc roadmap and the continued showing of done yes. can the 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 the cranes previous president bears full responsibility

for the ongoing military, conflicts 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, 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 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, a part of a pro put in the network name that influencing the governance 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, dela sanders 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 rezani, 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. 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. 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 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 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

violently 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's 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. artillio katrinka comments. it's almost been exactly 4 months since russia said it's true to ukraine, and countries in the west launched at 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 russians coping the number of sanctions is unprecedented. the plan was to squeeze rushes 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. officials in moscow see this as a key milestone in how countries around the globe will be switching to trade and national currencies. president flattery prudent for his part, painted a marquis future for traditional reserve currencies. first and foremost, the was dollar. was lou recently 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. 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 unfair, the global doing for the current rising prices in 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 and this money was used to purchase goods and services outside of western countries on global markets. taking over why no one wants 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 seamlessly. sure. but i think we'll 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 were afraid 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 calls an

illegitimate cohen key of in 2014 1st says president who 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. days later, the russian leader reminded the world how the mind and who was never accepted by the people of ukraine, southeastern don bass 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 yet familiar with people in our country and in deliberate territories are afraid that we will quit and leave will relief, can 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 at the form was the head of the russian gas export. a gas prom who stressed that the world's western dominated economic system has been undergoing drastic changes within the u. s. dollar weakening. we rob, 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 are 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 extracted our goods, our 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 scientists at glen decent, told r t from the st. petersburg form that despite the western sanctions and economic pressure on moscow, the russian financial system has stabilized. what the west had, the plan for russia obviously didn't play out because the assumption was that while the before the end of the weekend, effectively the russian economy was going to be a decimated the financial system, was supposed to collapse. the currency was by the said supposed to be made into rubble. and instead with we see that the opposite us up. and so the, the rubel us is much stronger now the new was even before february the financial system has been stabilized and well, the economy. it's effect to grow after

a lot of the supply chains. chains have been reorganized and so it's obviously the short term expectation. the short, medium to expectation of a lot of western states did not play out the way they've expected to see that the well between the western russia. both sides are now expressing a lot of trust has been lost and both sides argued that they've been preparing to effectively live without the other after the divorce, as so it is hard to say how how would to come back together. i think i already know this 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, china has taken over from the us as the foreign power seem to have the most positive influence on africa. this is, 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's activity as the most positive for the continent pushing the us into 2nd place. and that results illustrate china's rising influence with investments, infrastructure development projects and affordable products listed as its most positive contributions. but for la, china is a better friend than america. i think it's china because it believes in giving and receiving better with china. so initially, but that was on without china as better because it could take over the world economy in the future. i believe it's better to be closer to china than the us 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 know how year the u. s. recently sent

a letter to 14 african countries urging them to reject great imports from russia, claiming it was stolen from ukraine. that's with some african areas being on the brink of famine, a white house spokesperson has admitted the us wants to prohibit sales of grain, an african national congress youth league chairperson told us that support has shifted to china as the u. s. is it less respectful of the african population? is found china to be an honest country to do business with, in competitors in 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 bombed to heal ashima. they're the ones that mark i faxed you just to test a nuclear bomb and just to protect him lasha. so we asked students of history, we understand what the intention has been. they have been everywhere in the world where there's been a lot of sources, an image not to do business there,

but to still and could come age on the people of those kind 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 which tries to came to the chinese people as a bad people who are in africa to do wrong things. because we can visibly see that the i here to help with development and that to be here. and they see as 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 gillian assange. prepares an appeal after the british home secretary approved and american bid for his extradition or to don quarter comments on the curious ties between the decisions 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, 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 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 is 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 leagues 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 trump administration even discussed killing the 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 the sanchez expedition 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 sancha 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 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. this is pretty agree, jewish creat 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 catcher and put in prison for the rest. today lives, journalist, 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 a law that we can apply to. anyone doesn't have to be american citizen. so you know, how dangerous is that independent journalism? well, let's compose a requiem for it because it's, it's,

it's mostly dead. that doesn't for me, this hour, but stay with us throughout the day as we bring you more news and commentary. this is our to international. glad having with with thousands of people still live in small towns and villages that have become the new frontline project report that they call this area. the gray zone with ali from the rc was pretty me what that was about a used vehicle with.
