as crowds in morocco are repelled by moroccan and spanish. law enforcement was trying to cross the country's border with watching the weekly on our international this sunday morning. my name is peter scott bringing you the stories that shapes the week. we start off with a developing story from russia. multiple explosions have been reported in the city of belgrade, near the ukrainian border. the according to witnesses, a defend systems as being not to for several hours. however, several rockets have allegedly hit a number of residential buildings in the city. measure the services are at the scene with at least 3 people. winded and russian lead forces have taken control over the city of little chance, according to the against republic,

military on multiple reports in the area. if johnson was the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces in the guns republic, a number of important administrative buildings in the city were allegedly destroyed by with withdrawing forces. some ukrainian troops are allegedly still hold up in the outskirts of little chunks, with sporadic fighting. continuing in the area, we heard from locals, greeting the russian lead horse. indescribable happiness. we've been waiting for 8 years. look what ukrainian army have done here. this was a provocation. they sent a fire truck to collect water and then fired a show. many people died. and then they immediately came and said it was russia who attacked you were going to go for the guns for public forces had been surrounding the city for a number of weeks with the russian lead forces encircling little johns from the south and north taking control of keith towns in the region, early this week, odds eager to donna got exclusive access to see how version an allied forces have

been operating in the guns was ukrainian now a russian trophy weapon this soviet made the 60 poor thank is successfully thinking bought in the v nazi vacation ration just outside the town home, park to almost literally seconds until it's about to fire towards a 45 percent of the ukrainian forces. mm hm. and what you have here is a disguised trophy tank. it used to be ukraine's t 60 fool, but was captured all the way on the outskirts of kias since then 4 months now, it has been taking part in the denazi's fine operations embedded with rushes. special forces at the much. melissa,

this is our little baby. we took it from the cranny, national gardener, key of florida, a t 64 b v tank doesn't work well. worked well enough with her a lot of screw ups actually because ukrainian army didn't know how to service it properly. i think we need to pull out all of these american electronics and we can work with it. the most important thing is that it works for her. ah, as the russian forces advance in the don't boss, new areas become available for journalists. and this is one of them. this is where the onslaughts on the key strategic town of our tome of school by moved is happening. basically, it's the gateway towards ukraine's city citadels. ah, verified footage on social media shows thousands of locals taking to the streets of becky stun. there have been reports of casualties among protesters. as roy police dispersed crowds with allegations of police brutality and

a western republic of the country, thus where a states of emergency has been declared for one months the in the regional capital nucleus police have reportedly used don't grenades until the gas against protest is demonstrates as opposed suggested amendments to the constitution that limits the ultimate from the federal government authority say that demonstrate is trying to see power in the region is back. president has arrived to assure local that the amendments won't change the regions special status, but made no comments on the violent classes themselves will bring you more information as that situation develops. the brutal crushes have taken place on the moroccans, spanish borders, thousands of people attempts. it's across the border with spain, migrants were repelled by both spanish american security forces. now,

quick warning, you may find with the following footage distress in the late 76 migrants. and 140 border guards are reported to have been injured in the incident. un says that moroccan authorities use baton on stones to repel the migrants as they tried to scale offense to enter the spanish ex clave. human rights activists say the police deliberately refrained from helping those who are injured and the incidents ledger spot protests in the spanish capital sees rachel blevins takes a closer look at the story. the stories of migrants who leave their home countries in search of better lives are often covered by the media, wouldn't involve europe or latin america. however, when it comes to migrants from africa, the coverage can be almost nonexistent. even when dozens of migrants were killed, as they tried to cross the border from morocco to spain, witnesses called it a blood bath. around 2000 people attempted to cross over the e u border,

leading to violent clashes with police. while the official death toll is nearly 2 dozen human rights groups are warning that twice as many were killed. now the us has said it plans to launch an investigation. we call on the 2 countries to ensure an effective and independent investigation is held as a 1st step towards establishing the circumstances of the deaths and injuries and any possible responsibilities. and to ensure that accountability is guaranteed as appropriate. while authorities in both spain and morocco are defending their actions, the photos in video circulating on social media have sparked accusations that border police are trying to cover up the number of lives lost. it is shocking that moroccan authorities are reportedly preparing to hastily bury the men who died. this is crucial to ensure a full investigation into what happened as a clashes. the witnesses who survive said it was their dream to make it to europe while spain claims

a sudden migrant search was the result of human trafficking carried out by gangs frontal. if we're talking about an attempt to assault the fence that was evidently carried out in an aggressive way and therefore what spain state security forces and moroccan gods did was defend spain's borders center left. 5 while the treatment of african migrants has been met with will, outrage, that stands in stark contrast to what happened on the other side of the atlantic, with the response from some in the us over keeping migrants there in cages. this administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the united states for immigrants where they are being brutalized with the humanizing conditions and dying. so where is that outraged now? and will there ever be any meaningful change for the migrant seeking asylum in the west? as is the west that continues to metal in their home countries. however, some migrants troubles don't and when they make it to the, you know, the international has accused the commission of sending

a blind eye to the illegal detention of thousands of arab and african migrants in your area including cases of abuse and discrimination in the treatment of asylum seekers, while highlighting the contrasting treatments of ukrainian refugees in the u. refugees and migrants have been held for months on end in squalid prison like centers in lithuania, subjected to serious human rights violations, in the hope that they will voluntarily return to the countries they fled from. there have been numerous reports of ill treatment, some amounting to torture. detainees have also been placed in isolation and bitten by dogs if they tried to escape. a psychologist who worked at the center is currently under investigation for alleged sexual violence against detainees in his care is going to be worse now. after seeing the treatment promise to ukrainians, because people here cannot take it anymore. we are under horrible pressure to go back to our countries. is this the humanity they are talking about? we also want to help people coming from ukraine because we already saw that we

already lived at. we already felt that the sad thing is we are in a dark place. we are going through a terrible time and we are hopeless. what hurts the most when i follow the news and see how the world show solidarity with ukrainian refugees and how they treat us here. if you any in any you commission, officials have yet to respond to these allegations. misty international, also documented cases of racial abuse, including the use of offensive slurs being used against men and women of color while in lithuanian custody. i have been locked up here for 2 months already. we don't even know where we are. some renewed, the buddha burns, the refugees here, only people of color. there were white tea that they were all released almost immediately. please help us help us. we want to be released. they took our freedom . we need your support. as amnesty international also pointed out, the ukrainian refugees are receiving both benefits on protection from european or

authorities, as well as a warm reception for many residents of the you who even let's ukrainian refugees stay in their homes. nigerian politician adama gobber says the welcome ukrainian refugees have received in you compared to the treatments of those from african and the middle east countries exposes global disparities just putting between the people on those people of color that are not or people is becoming so entrenched because if you have to kind of what you want, right? if you're talking about the responsibility for the, for, for the general population of the warranty. if you're thinking about the q responsibility to be able to manage everybody based on the issues that there might be having, we can not how ukrainian jeez, running into the country. just in order to team ended up as a human beings. while the people of colo, like if people of africa, the middle is a blessed human in a place where they call a saloon location,

which is like more julie berry, i'm going to, it's much later on like a detention center. so it's like they're technically being put into prison denying . that's why i want to proceed with them. so. so this is, this is really not good. what are paul? this is, this is just so roughly human. nato has adopted a new strategic concept with russia labeled its most significant and direct threats . the allies, though, is having some difficulty agreeing on this on the key policies. as all tease shallow defense reports at the nato summit in madrid, the alliance made it crystal clear. just how it sees russia. so to day leaders have endorsed naples, new strategic concept. it makes clear that russia's russia pulse is the most significant and died threat to orange security. but despite nato officials claiming their one big united front,

some divisions are showing through the cracks. the u. s. u. k and eastern european members want to see moscow weakened permanently, but other key block powers calling 1st swift ceasefire in ukraine and a diplomatic settlement that will allow all sides to walk away with their heads held high to some degree. it's not clear what nato chief vienne stoughton berg really wants either. on the one hand, he says that russia is this massive direct threat on the other. he continues to say that nato doesn't want the conflict to spread. if this becomes a full scale war between russia and natal, then was it suffering damage to death, destruction of the scale, which is much, much worse. and what you see in ukraine today, jewels over a corresponds a built of course, to prevent escalation beyond ukraine. and that's the reason why nate was not a part of the conflict on the ground. but that came hand in hand. with this

humdinger of an announcement, we will transform the nato response force and increase the number or higher. this forces to well over 300000 so, so the meaningful dialogue we worked for, for so many years. that's a knocked on the table dance, not working, described as the biggest overhaul of natives, collective defense and parents since the cold war. it made it sound like the alliance was ready, perhaps for a bigger war. however, that was all nice to many nature members who is seemingly unaware of this plan. and that's wondering if they needed to commit more troops. the figure it turns out was conceptual. the details of the nato force model, including its precise scale and composition, continue to be developed and it won't be ready until 2023. that's still a long way off, especially for russia. as dalton berg said,

really poses the most significant and direct threat to nato members and their security. other seemingly high notes from the summit included the announcement that sweden and finland are about to join the pack off to all. there had been a lot of on twisting by turkey to get anxious approval with both nordic countries making concessions, which may come back to bite them. in fact, even before the summit ended turkey threatened that the deal was still not done. and as both countries continued to dance to it's tune, 1st, sweden and finland should carry out their duties and those are in the text. but if they don't, of course, it is out of the question for the ratification to be sent to our parliament. some of those thought to be on the lake star journalists provoking widespread condemnation from kurdish and human rights groups. stock homeless, sought to allay those concerns, saying that it would always follow swedish laws. if it does though,

that could potentially scott, but the deal with turkey, then there is the fact that this summit, so the idea of european strategic autonomy crash and burn for years french, president mc corners, hammer down the doctrine that you are past to stand on its own without the crutch of the u. s. president biden has other ideas. the united states will enhance our force posture in europe and respond to the changing security environment, as well as strengthening our collective security. germany meanwhile, found it's back to the war and we'll now chipping more to nato's coffers. whether chance s sholtes really believes that they stand investing more in germany's and military defense is, is really a good idea is yet to be determined this week. some it has been hailed as a success by nato, but for some the seemingly desperate backroom deals made it look more like the alliance is akin to a protection racket with some countries extorting others left right and center.

earlier my colleague nikki, are in disgust nato's policies towards russia and relations between his members. with a panel of guest they test his claims to pluck does not once a confrontation with moscow. so what's your take on that statement? i mean, it's just a ball faced lie and he knows it, nobody knows it. but, you know, when the secretary of defense of the united states states straight up, that the goal and objective of the united states, which is the lead to player and nato, nato does not blame without american approval. it's nato's policy is to inflict as much harm as possible on russia and ukraine, so that russia will never again seek to entertain a similarly aggressive move that it did in ukraine against anywhere else in europe . that means it the purpose, the mission is to chill russians. that is the mission of nato today. to kill as many russians as possible in ukraine without getting involved directly using

ukraine as a proxy force does not look like the world is thinking into a new cold war. well, the cold war, italy, they may not be called by, by that name. in fact, in some ways it is worse than the cold war because during the cold war there was an effort by the united. ready states and the soviet union to find proxy was bought in distant geographies. but here, the west nato, united states and other, they're fighting a proxy war right at russia door. and the enormous risks in this because things can escalate it and they can go out. and in fact, we're talking about hybrid warfare. and what is happening is actually hybrid warfare conducted by nato against russia. terrified and has claimed that a so called nato isaiah. never, europe is the only road to peace there. do you agree with that?

if there's one thing that, that the conflict is exposed is how much you is hostage of natal. the us things are unveiling right now. that a you is not, is not it's completely hijacked by us interest. and they all following and going to do their own people day. when you do you get clean and into them, did they do the referendum and asked people if they want to join? they won't do that, they're not real democracies, and they're supporting a safe clean. she's the least in aquatic. there's no position. it's not the same, the supporting, nothing, any. it's a shame considering the europe history. meanwhile, china was also mentioned in the updated strategy branded as a systematic challenge. leaders of asian pacific states also attended the summit. beijing's top diplomats reacted with

a warning in the further need. so enlargement could ignite a confrontation. in recent years, nato had been persistently expanding and provoking confrontation between groups of countries. the international community should be highly aware of this and should strongly oppose it. in while british foreign secretary lists trust has called a member nathan member states to expand their global influences, including sending weapons to tie one to deter potential chinese military action against the island. a senior fellow at the pan goal institution, which is a china based thing tank, says that nate, those presence in the asia pacific would only be stabilized the region. well, i think they are not a happy particular bigger apiece. they are not happy that the china did not join them to condense russia to impose on russia. that the champion, at least the diplomatically the holding russia equals china and the security of

russia. thank you. and the pressure of the united states and the european a week that then, you know, basically the falling than to allow me to be used as a tool against china in the us, the new cold war china. so you can say, like the old china, china, right, china there into value your t. and now where you all are, we are also present at the summit that also our development could be that could be stabilized. the higher we asia amid soaring gas prices, euros planned to replace russian gas by the end of the year, has many officials unconvinced with even the nato chief saying the price of western sanctions imposed on russia is being paid by europeans themselves. europeans and

they dollars, united states partners, they pay a price. there is no way to deny that. but that price is much lower than the price will pay if truth and gets his way by. you submitted force against the plantation is about the price you have to pay, so pay for free them. so called price for freedom for the you implies cutting russian gas impulse by $2.00 thirds over the next 6 months. however, that price is proving to be costly. in 2021, the u. imported approximately 1155000000000 cubic meters of natural gas from russia . that's amounted to around 40 percent of the used total gas consumption. the measures proposed by the u commission, even if fulfilled will amounts and under decrease of only 53000000000 cubic meters of gas. many you citizens say the prices they're having to pay a too high massey grandparents is at the end of the government. do more, of course,

they're not taking into account that these increases are also linked to the sanctions that europe has made against russia. off everything has increased from fuel to gas and then to electricity. no measures have been taken. everything has become difficult and this is affecting our lives really, but some, i absolutely disagree with what the chief of nato said. what he said is shameful. we citizens, we, italians cannot pay for the freedom he talks about. we're still maint. meanwhile, as a country, we are the one where you pay the most taxes. these increases are destabilizing many families who are no longer able to make it to the end of the month. delete all the sanctions are absolutely useless because they are not weakening. the russian economy at all. indeed, they are probably harming as europeans more than they are. i and i will estoppel the price of electricity has increased. disproportionately officials are taking advantage of all this situation to raise the prices of bills and all raw materials . he'll buy many people, no longer have money even to do the shopping and to pay for the house. and in all this, they cannot even turn on the air conditioner because electricity really costs

a lot about that too many increases, even the gas, it's all increased. i received a very strange gas bill within justified increases that i still cannot understand. then lovato u. k, which has been among the loudest voices urging the you to and dependence on russian oil and gas, may now stop supplying gas to main on europe or t contribute to rachel. marston explains in the scramble. the stock up on gas supplies amid anti russian sanctions. choking off affordable supply is in every man or country for himself. analysts have explained to london's guardian newspaper that under sea gas pipelines transport gas from the u. k to continental europe operated by the u. k. they offload gas to europe in the summer months when britain doesn't have enough storage capacity for it. then in the winter time, the gas is sent back from the e. u to the u. k. when it's most needed there. but the newspaper talks about the

possibility of the flow of europe simply being cut off. if a gas french hits britain, a british government spokesman, referred to emergency procedures in the extremely unlikely event of a supply emergency. national grid gas have longstanding emergency procedures in place to protect the integrity of britons gas network. all countries have such plants and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that these emergency procedures would be needed. now, our priority is to continue working together with our e. u partners and allies, to and reliance on russian oil and gas. it's possible that posts brags it u. k is faring better than it's easy neighbors, a spokesman for the you case, national grid power network doesn't foresee any energy shortages. the u. k has been well supplied with gas throughout the year, with reliable supplies coming in from the u. k. north series sources and from norway, but even evoking this last resort of re stocking u. k. gas at the expense of the you kind of flies in the face of all the u. k.

governments talk of how western nations are all unwavering in their unity and solidarity in support of ukraine. they are facing real real pressures. they are having to source energy from elsewhere, but they are doing it. they are making the effort. they are making the sacrifice. that's because they see that the price of freedom is worth paying. this is something that it's worth a standing up for together. but the, you would totally understand the need for the u. k. to take care of itself 1st and foremost before helping out at the closest allies. right. well, it seems that the idea is raising eyebrows in the you like those of bart, yon homers the president of the european network of transmission system operators for gas. i would definitely recommend a reconsider stopping the interconnection so well the u. k. a knew you were one family pre brags it when push comes to shove, maybe the kind of access that goes with living under the same roof. isn't they

given us a route for now? what have you up to this weekend? i hope you're having a good one. on pizza scott's on the back again in just over 30 minutes town with another one down of the weekly, hey, or nazi ah ah, ah ah ah, ah, a ah

ah, ah, ah, church's goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world there, which american dollar could penetrate, which american trade would have access everywhere and to market and to labor add to resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of conflict. the interest with john chill wound stolen of an impending attack on the ussr in the face of great danger. he seeks an alliance with russia.

stalin doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. with at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia. suddenly, without declaration the war, without even an ultimatum, the german bomb rain down from the sky above the russian in russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the united states. 2 days later us, president roosevelt also gives a speech supporting the ussr. but there are other political forces

in the united states territory makes his speech in december of 41. and the senate is as if the russians are when he wishes to port the germans at if the germans are when we support the russians. and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that sets of it in the west at this time. dangerous destructive, roosevelt wound stanolin of japan's intention to attack the soviet union. but soviet intelligence report, state the via tag is still in doubt. it is imperative that the u. s. makes it clear to japan that if they attack the soviet union will have support put the british american authorities will not support the usaa. the u. s. military assures roosevelt that germany quickly.
