ah, a ah, russia claim, some 2000 ukrainian soldiers, including neo nazi formations on foreign mercenary in circle just 20 kilometers from the heavily pop up city. said what i've done yet. also, as the voice joke here, thanks for the you pregnant courses for providing extra weapons and munition for their little units for made weapons as well, like these rocket launches, this is the infamous british mate and more fierce fi things come through. head in the 7 are done yet, and listen, shout, discard, see visit the nearby. tell him taken by russian forces just days ago. also and on

the program rush, it will guarantee you bring in brain exports no matter what the west sais, that is the message from vladimir put on the 2nd and final day of the brick summit up and merging with from moscow to the world. this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name's you know, neil. we begin with the latest on the ukraine conflict. heavy fighting continues in and near the city of several done yet. russia's ministry of defense say's to the south. all that area for ukrainian battalions have been encircled regardless, goes like this before, the ukrainian troops have been completely surrounded near the settlements of ghosts, koya. and so latoya, in total for battalions had been encircled, which have up to 2000 people, namely about $1800.00 ukrainian military personnel,

$120.00, neo nazis of the right sector, and up to 80 foreign mercenaries. in the last 24 hours alone, 41 service men in this area have given up resistance and voluntarily surrendered people's republic of logan's case where key battles are happening right now. russia's defense minister reports about steady success and effective and quite speedy advance of the joint russian republican forces they are in the region. as a result, full battalions of the ukrainian armed forces have found themselves encircled and almost completely isolated around the towns of gorski and latoya. that is around $1800.00 ukrainian soldiers and offices here round a 100 nationalists, but fighters and up to 80 foreign mercenaries as well. as 40 armored vehicles and twice as many heavy artillery pieces. riches defense ministry also says that in the last 24 hours 41 ukrainian military men laid down their arms and surrendered. and according to these prisoners of war,

they encircled ukraine troops. i now exhausted morally down and disappointed because they say there is a huge lack of fighters plus the supply of weapons fuel and ammunition has been almost completely stopped less. now take a listen, but you have to remember that their statements may have been given under duress. those we will left without means of communication. we weren't able to speak either with a battalion or the brigades to get any task or understanding what positions to take . we were completely cut off with no food and water. the only possibility for us to save our lives was to surrender. we couldn't see the enemy to know where to shoot. if we didn't lay down our arms, we would have been killed without fighting. we were treated well, we were given food and water, who we were sent to nowhere and were given nothing. no explanations were provided. we were sent with no assistance like cannon fodder and other important development

in the region. the city of lisa chance could huge industrial hub of the region which has been under fears, fighting for months now. probably the last stronghold of the ukrainian army in the republic is now almost completely surrounded. once it's taking, i have to remind you, the republics hold territory will be hung the russian control. maria mentioned there at the strategic cities of several done yet. listen chance. are a correspondent english. i don't know if he's just a few kilometers away from the former and sent us this report from the front line. this little village just outside of the city of several. the next is strategically crucial for the russian forces. basically, this is one of the main directions from where they are closing in the encirclement, the so called cattle around the ukranian forces in the town of lucy chance on top of that. now that this place is under the control of the russians, what they did,

they basically kicked out the enemy artillery from here because this place is a great vantage point overlooking the town of several minutes with roger. but we got the boom. we started to move from house to house and were meeting fierce resistance. we drove the ukrainians out, the nearest houses after a 2 day battle road. after that, they moved to the other side of the street and held that position. but our forces started to get around them from the left and right flanks. we moved along and started to direct our artillery as they had trenches over there while we started to defeat them and move further along. and a little further, a group of around 15 or 20 ukrainian soldiers engaged us with polish mortars, and we saw them in time as the lou ganske forces were operating there and had warned us about the enemy, we decided to face the enemy from that position in that house we saw them,

but they didn't see us. we got around them from the right and a fear shoot out started, which lasted for 2 hours. then they directed artillery on us to help their troops to get out. and so our soldiers had to move a bit and we left within 2 days, we stormed the position again and drove the enemy out from there. ah, so did you not think will the ukrainian soldiers executed our neighbors? he had been in the basement with us, but when the battle started, we went home for water and they went across the road to get things from their house . and then we heard shots, they didn't come back for days and it was too dangerous to go. and check on them while the battle was going on. later when we went over to find them and we saw their dead bodies, ukrainian soldiers had shot them at point blank range. they clearly saw that they were civilians and they shot the man in the head and his wife in the back. ah,

as the boys joke here, thanks for the ukrainian forces for providing extra weapons and ammunition for their little units. foreign made weapons as well, like these rocket launchers. this is the infamous british mate and law smaller one . this is polish, made another one. this is so get made and yet a another piece with all the instructions on it written in english. all these items are being successfully used against, well now against the ukrainian forces on this direction. now, the new head of the family, youth and sports department in the city of her son on the black sea coast, which is under russian control, was assassinated on friday morning in

a car bombing. dmitri salve, luke ankle was killed instantly. the local administration grounded the instant an act of terror by ukraine. the city has seen a string of assassination attempts on the new local officials, which has been blamed on pseudonym resistance movements. it comes as ukrainian defense forces have been posting videos of their new military equipment. ah, well, what you're seeing here is a rocket launcher, key of safe taken from a dull and helicopter, then installed on a car to be used against russian forces. the footage was published on the official twitter account of the ukrainian defense ministry. we got reaction on that from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. ukrainian government is made no secret that they will seek to carry out acts of this nature. terrorism is universal,

so it's not just in the middle east, it's, you know, these, these are tactics that have been used anywhere where you have an anti social elements seeking to inflict harm on the powers that be in picking out, you know, as civilians of this nature it's merc, it's terrorism, and it's, it's also an indication that this is pretty much the limit to what the cranes can do at this point. time is acted limited actions of a targeted murder. this isn't widespread resistance, at least not yet. we see now that what they're left with is acts of terrorism and acts of desperation. i mean putting rocket launcher from a down helicopter on the back of a pickup truck isn't, is not the kind of action you expect for me for a winning side. so i think, you know, this is what the ukrainians reduced to and it's an indication that things are not

going well for them. ah, there are no obstacles from russia to ukrainian grain exports, despite western history. and so, say the russian president, who was speaking of the brick summit on the emerging economies on fridays final day, according to glimmer put, russia is ready to supply 50000000 tons of grain to global markets. this year is worcester of the day where seen a deliberately inflated hysteria over the termination of ukraine and grain expos, through the plexi ports. i would once again like to stress that russia doesn't create any obstacles to transport and the grain from ukraine, and he's ready to provide the free passage of ships carrying grain to international waters. we have a mutual understanding here with the un, but we still lacking constructive approach from the key of authorities or well before the gray. that was inflation, where the west tried to blame inflation that is ramping in the west on, on russia. try to blame the energy crisis,

which also began before this conflict on russia. the world fuel shortage. try to blame that on russia now, trying to blame world hunger on russia. the point here is that the g 7 came at the foreign ministers with a joint statement in which they called on russia to stop. for example, a bombing ukrainian grain terminals in grain silos. paps referencing to a, a strike on a, a grain terminal in the city of mc alive. recently. amazing to mention of course that the great terminal had been turned into a military fortress by ukrainian troops who had station all matter of vehicles. rocket launchers there as well as a barracks which in turn caused a russian strike just just for reference. ukraine, for example, is about 10 percent of a world we export. russia is here at our 20 percent of world international wheat export. nevertheless, the spot, all the,

all the fact that you have european leaders and foreign ministers coming out and insistently live in russia or something that they had a big bottom. russia is waiting a cynical grain more easing. it is a chill to make see prices skyrockets and destabilize entire countries. in continuation of this very one sided story that we're hearing from the european union from the united states. the g 7 nations that they've come up. and they've said that despite all of these russian assurances that yes, ukraine is free to export grade, so long as it comes out, sends ships out the caraway, the hundreds upon hundreds of miles that it is late in the black sea. there is no tool of the demands being made by ukraine before it starts resuming grain exports of some of these are very close to unreasonable. for example,

ukraine demands that none of the vessels leaving its ports are such searched by russian military ships. also, all matter of security guarantees, and you can only wonder what those are. but nevertheless, vladimir putin has come out. tom and tom again and said that russia is ready to allow grey next, both to resume from her from ukraine. but that the ball is in ukraine's court, and that has shewn, demonstrated an unwillingness to make any sorts of compromises. while it's weston bacchus, haven't pushed ukraine at all to make any sorts of compromises. the u. n's, global children's charity. unicef is wanting a close to 8000000 children and 15 food crisis had countries are at risk of death from starvation. the fund is now calling for $1200000000.00 to deliver an essential package of nutrition services and care, and to meet urgent needs. speaking to r, t b international, red cross and red crescent southern africa, cluster head fears,

world focus has moved away from the hunger emergency humanitarian age. and i've been there, you will want it to be fairly distributed. what we do know is that that's not the case. if i look at my continents and we've been shouting the hunger crisis by a few months now, and this situation is going to get was where seen that the a we need is not get in. where seeing that are the regions i get in the focus. i'm not to say that one humanitarian situation is much better or worse. a one person is that all was off in terms of getting the aid. but what we are saying is that, that a does not get in always to the people that needed the most current on the continent. but i represent, we see lots a lots of hunger and lots of malnutrition as well in the communities. i mean, 10 year where i am at the moment, the money tricia and has doubled in the last 2 months. while unicef is asking

for just over a $1000000000.00 that you said it's ready to grunt ukraine over 7 times the amount . 9000000000 euro in low interest loans have been pledged to aid the countries postwar reconstruction. we got reaction to the figures from the african national congress use league head who believes the constant flow of money for lethal it and other things to kiev kind of benefited elsewhere. look, well how about does not start to be if we wanted to end? well, honda, the united nations would have taken the 40000000000 us thought package of military weapons and give it to people who are starving instead of sending food to people are going to out there whether they're sending weapons to clean so that those weapons can be could to you, it can be used to kill people who are protecting their availability, which is the people of russia. we think that before we can even begin to imagine to accuse a russia we must entitle, keep the current excess of patient of weld. honda is done by the fact that we just

went out of coffee be dealing with coffee. so we should not to utilize was hired as a whole, you know, demean the legitimate struggle of the russian people. i'm returning to the brick summits where the group's 5 leaders have emphasized the relevance of the form in today's world, as well as the need for quote true multilateralism. the opening run on thursday wrapped up with the signing of a declaration calling on, develop countries around the world to stick to responsible politics, free economic progress, as well as stressing the need for arms control. while day to involve the bricks plus format with can be such as argentina, iran, and egypt joining the online discussion. just to give you some perspective on the bricks, as regards hard figures, the total population of the group exceeds 3000000000 people in those countries.

that's more than 40 percent of the world's population. the gross domestic product of the bricks group is $23.00 trillion dollars. that equates to 20 percent of total global trade. experts expect that number to almost double in the next 2 years, which would exceed the total sure of the u. s. and e. u, and international trade. earlier in new delhi based journalists expanded and what he sees of the groupings immense potential bricks is supposed to be come the way to the u. s. a financial system and political system. and the whole system that dominates then global politics, economics, development, etc. good, brief potential for these countries, especially these going to be the job emerging. and i'm going to bring nations to come together to and focus on concerned and then priorities

to be on the might of the us led to western financial political structure. and that the structure that now uses it's a group financial wow. do manage it. and you boss, you legitimate sanctions on countries that it was time to just as it happened in the case of fall russia after the ukraine was started for one of those bricks. members, china has welcome the polls. decision not to move ahead with a security partnership with the u. s. beijing said it supports the south asian nation in upholding it's called sovereignty independence and territorial integrity . various political parties and factions, the government, the army and people across the nepalese society see the state partnership program as a military and security initiative closed the linked to the india pacific strategy

. and they consider it against the national interests of nipple and it's long held . none aligned balanced foreign policy to be part of the state partnership program . this week kept mine to abandon plans to join the us state a partnership program or s p p. it 1st applied in 2015, but washington only accepted its request. 4 years after that critic feared membership rest of the country sovereignty while a leak letter showed napoleon army had been seeking and military partnership with america. something that played into existing concerns about the s p p being a de facto military alliance. the u. s. embassy, no claims the document was fake, saying the program only had a humanitarian focus. the state partnership program is not and has not ever been a security or military alliance. the united states is not seeking a military alliance with newbrough. there is no proposed s p p agreement with natal . the state partnership program was set up in the 90s to pair

a former soviet bloc countries with the national guard and u. s. states now includes partnerships with $93.00 countries, the schemes to assure the best practices in the event of natural disasters. but it also covers counter terrorism. now, opponents claim the poles intention to join was tantamount to renouncing the countries long held non aligned foreign policy. china for a specialist, victor gal believes if the paul had joined up it would have made the country a plaything for american political games. first of all, in the very beginning for the united states, try to enter such partnership agreement with new pow is starting on the wrong foot . mainly because new power is a landlord country caught up between india to its south and china to the north india and the power relations and china and they power relations have been very, very good over the centuries, i think the united states was very misguided,

imovie into the pow tried to play its political game against china. so if it is disillusioned, i think they deserve it going forward. if the united states want to spend more to really help that new policies, people to build up or it's connectivity, ah, cyber connectivity banking connectivity, poverty are really asian set out. but more schools, i think nepalese people will welcome that, that china will be very open minded. what we got against is doc co abrasion. what we got against is to use nepalese as a pong to achieve the americas jewel pretty go. 3rd, he goals that is trying to detain china and derail china's peaceful development. the us censorship of russian media has apparently held the opposite effect of what it set out to do. when

a recent microsoft report reports the show concluding that there's a huge spike of interest in content from russian media sites like rti on the spot think news agency there. the u. s. tech giant claims the rise was provoked by so called russian cyber influence operations. according to microsoft's estimates, russian media outlets get around 60 to 80000000 ridge monthly views in the us. that makes a lead russian influence quotes on par with a major publication like the wall street journal you choose blocked access to russian media channels across the globe about the start of the conflict in ukraine, despite a constitutional bond on over censorship. in the u. s. while the european union has also imposed sanctions in rti and stuff next broadcasting across the u. american lawyer and activists, done called the lake police. people just want access to different points of view. usually when you see attempts to sensor information,

it does tend to backfire. people are curious when they learn, something's being centered, it just makes them want to tune in more. but it's not just because of that. it's also because people, i think, honestly, have seen the western propaganda around the war and ukraine as transparently false. i think they are looking for alternative voices and r t and spook, you know, provide those voices. and again, the u. s. wants to control the narrative. companies like you to facebook, twitter, you know, while they're independent, they are controlled by, you know, wealthy interests that are aligned with the us government. job title has accidentally revealed that sheet sheet q card prepared by his stuff during a meeting with wind industry executives of the white house, and it includes very specific details,

actions. the checklist tells the president to enter the room and say hello to participants and gives basic commands about where to sit and watch to do the job. and being spotted with similar guides before to including already preferred answers written for him during a q and a and ukraine. this latest incident house raised more than a few. i press we need a list of what medication biden is on. this is troubling. his staff need to remind biden who he is. this man is running the country. meanwhile, not knowing who he is. this is elder abuse. one, keep people poor and on welfare to concentrate on their gay transgender agenda. 3, hide biden clinton crime families, info and hide hunters, laptop info, maxwell, island list, et cetera, et cetera. oh, presidents have used no carts. only joe has needed one with basic human functions,

like a reminder to say hello and you take your seat. god help us. i think that it will probably spark a little bit of fear in the american people that the commander chief who's, you know, supposed to be in charge, giving commands, has to receive commands. i just feel like if this was another president, like, let's say, i don't know, donald trump, for example, we would are to be passed the point of wondering whether or not he was mentally capable of remaining commander in chief. but you, if you have not heard any of those concerns from a mainstream media outlets and democrats like cnn and m as in b. c. i'm sure most americans probably find it once again a little bit concerning that they're quote unquote commander in chief doesn't know which chair to take in meetings. staying state side, women have free, acted with i trade in the us after the supreme court struck, done a 50 year old ruling in the country that effectively legalized abortion. nationwide, the move will impact millions across the nation. it's no done to individual states

to decide their own policy with conservative states, likely to uphold abortion bonds. hundreds of pro choice protestors had gathered outside the court ahead of the ruling to make their feelings clear. president biden condemned the decision as a court sant day for the court, the country. and that is a rob, but don't go too far as more programs get their start right ahead from the r t news . remind myself, you know leo, good life ah ah, in the least counter russian state. little never. i've tied up on the most landscape with

55 with the speed. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else with we will van in the european union. the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date, and r t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all bands on youtube and pinterest and with ah,

ah hello and welcome to cross awkward. all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. any meaningful relationship is based on the following trust. this is absent in russia's relationship with the west. essentially, moscow does not deem western leaders to be good faith actors. this is the lesson learned since the end of a cold war. as we all know, regaining trust is very difficult, if not impossible. ah cross sucking russia relations with the west. i'm joined by my guest garland nixon in washing. he is a political analyst in new york. we have, daniel was our, he is a journalist and author of 3 books on the u. s. constitution. and in philadelphia

we cross a bruce marx. he is a former pennsylvania state senator and attorney for donald trump's 20162020 campaigns are gentlemen cossack rules and effect. that means you can jump in any time you want. and i always appreciated, daniel, let me go to you 1st in new york. there is no trust left here. okay. and if you look at western media, particularly american media and british media were basically in a state of war, which of course, one has not been declared, but they've made themselves co belligerent in this conflict here. and you know, if we go back a few days, president putin in st. petersburg at his annual event basically said, you know, be in the, his interlocutors, in the west or not, um, people that you can actually trust and believe. and that's the state of affairs, right? now your take on this, go ahead. yeah, well, and 1997 us big ever since sky, you know, one of the half dozen most influential voices and post war american foreign policy . or wrote a book called the grand chessboard in which she called for breaking russia up into

3 separate parts under us to the legend in the us. so then use that as a springboard to, to penetrate into central asia, ultimately going into china. so of, so the u. s. has always had the gold, you know, either it's either on the surface searched lurking, just below of destroying russia, of, of eliminating it as a global power, reducing it to a minor satcher pi. and, and that's what we're seeing now. i mean, russia doesn't, russia doesn't trust the west for a good reason, because the request is out to, to cut russia down garlan. the same thing to you because i thought this is all about democracy. ok, i said, i always hear, you know, we have to make these countries democratic whole by the way as we speak right now. ukraine is a military hunter and if the during this week the last major opposition party was banned and now.
