sized that is something completely different, and russia actually accepted this. ah ah, russian lead forces take control of this city of lifted chunks. according to multiple reports, the city was the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces, little guns, republic, nato claims. russia is a major threat to european security and it's new strategic concepts. also highlight thing the challenge allegedly posed by china wanting you may find the following for the disturbing ah hundreds of wounded and dozens killed, as crowds in morocco, a repelled by moroccan and spanish law enforcement while trying to cross the countries border with

welcome to the weekly here on our team, my name is peter scott bringing you the stories this shaped the week. we start off with some breaking news this hour. at least 3 people have been killed on 4 more injured, including a child during shelling of the russian border city of belgrade. the, according to local officials, 11 apartment buildings and 40 houses, has been damaged witnesses. the defense systems have been active to several hours of a number of rocket managed to break through and fall in the area of the services with seen working out before andras and lead forces if they can control over the city of little chance. gordon's little guns before big military on multiple reports in the area. it's a junk was the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces in the gun republic. a

number of important administrative buildings in the city were allegedly destroyed by the withdrawing courses. so me, crane troops are literally still hold up in the outskirts of the city with sporadic fighting. continuing in the area, we heard from locals, greeting the russian forces. 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 shelf. many people died. and then they immediately came and said it was russia who attacked you guys. you know, guns for public forces had been surrounded in the city for a number of weeks with russian lead forces in circling, lifting chance from the south and north, taking control over keep towns in the region. one of the last it is that taken by the guns republics army, early this week was 7 done yet. we had from locals who were evacuated after ukrainian troops retreated from the area. oh sure. i'm happy that you came home.

this is the most important thing. we lived in hell for 4 months. with no minor rule, we lived together there. we tried to help each other with food and did everything we could. actually, the ukrainian army did not give us anything. they did not give us any food just once. they provided 12 liters of water for 40 people. let you see that. we powered lights from potatoes. we also had small flashlights, but we used them very sparingly, so we learned to walk in the dark. for almost a month, incense bustles, raged in the industrial zone of servitude. and yet because the ukrainian army shelter in the plans at the russian forces took control of the city, ukrainian military is accused of destroying a chemical tank which the russian m. o. d feared, could lead to a chemical incident. on r c. crew visited the adults chemical planned to see what was left or 3rd treats of gifts forces. yes,

another plant that was supposed to be the bastion of ukrainian defense that fell rod quickly. this is the territory of the as thought factory of the resort chemical plant. and just yesterday, the last ukranian troops ran uphill towards the town of lucy chance. so now were among the 1st journalists who have been allowed in for some exclusive access. and basically we're about to see how they lived and what they've left behind. thing thing . but i am with lama medical director with felicity. isn't that ridiculous?

her gwin north was lim with deputy, looking for death. whether this was one of the firing positions of the ukrainian forces at the as lot chemical plant. you can see here a western made our p g machine gun rounds. very interesting ones. the ones with the red tip, ah incendiary and the ones with the white tip, they have extra piercing capabilities. also here, you can see the results of the work of the russian artillery. maybe even jets. because over here you can see the rounded hit, the roof destroying this position, the lessons value from what they leave. he goes to us and we use their weapons against them. the assistance provided ukraine, my nato was not affected if ukrainians do not have the spirit to fight, then no weapons will help them.

hey justin phones guess now we are going down to the fortified basement, which was built earlier for those working in the assault plant to shelter from bombs, not hillary. you can on the sun, how much to the fence was prepared here, place this is their sleeping quarters. you see the store, the ukrainian army could hold out for a very long time. this is one of the shelters at the assault plant, where i'm a platoon of ukrainian soldiers. well slept. i had some rest. there's a bunch of bunk beds over here on the other side of the room as well. and a bit of an interesting detail here. parts of this place is a well separated with the un refugee agency world curtain and behind this curtain, ah, american made javelin missiles. sure. this was on a student with one of machine. you're specially was of the city this place, give some serious flashbacks of another factory over in the city of murray. you

pulled the infamous as of stars where the as of neo nazi battalion was sheltering for quite a while. the only significant striking difference that i see here is that we find in every room these military grade respirators. since this one is a chemical plant assembling in the economy. we're ready to use chemical weapons. apparently they just didn't have time or didn't get some kind of order. thank god, it didn't happen. now give maintains that this was a tactical retreat that the troops, that they fell back to the 40 fight and more advantageous positions over there. a missing the fact that the set positions remained incomplete. encirclement, i'm english, done of reporting from the a sort chemical plant, artsy and verified footage on social media shows. thousands of locals taken to the streets was becky stun. the have been

reports of casualties among protesters as riot police dispersed crowds with allegations of police brutality and a western republic of the country. that's where a state of emergency has been declared for one month. the in the regional capital nucleus police have reportedly used on grenades and tear gas against protesters. the demonstrates as opposed suggested amendments. the constitution that limits the autonomy from the federal government authority say that demonstrates is tried to tease power in the region is the president has arrived to show local to the amendments won't change the region, special status where he made no comment on the biling classes will bring you more information as our situation develops. so classes have taken place on the moroccan, the spanish border as thousands of people attempted to cross into the spanish ex clay in northern africa. the migrants repelled by both country security forces. now,

just a quick warning, you may find some falling footage. distressing. the lease $23.00 migrants have been killed and hundreds wounded, including $140.00 border guards. un says that moroccan or dorothy is used, but tons and stones to repel the migraines as they tried to scale offense to enter the spanish ex clave human rights activists say the police deliberately refrained from helping those who were injured needs been late. the spots processed in the spanish capital. human rights watch says an investigation is required and claims. the skirmishes show the different attitudes towards migrants from different continents. on the other side of europe, ukrainian refugees are rightly welcomed with open arms, but here and elsewhere along europe's borders. we see a total disregard for black lives. large scale attempts to climb over the fences around below, post security concerns,

but in no way justify the violence we have seen. while latino rachel blevins takes a look into why so migrants are being treated differently with us. the stories of migrants who leave their home countries in search of better lives are often covered by the media would involve europe or latin america. however, when it comes to migrants from africa, the coverage can be almost non existent, 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 the 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 3rd was the result of human trafficking carried out by gangs. with until it's time what we're talking about in attempt to assault the fence that was evidently carried out in an aggressive way. and therefore what spain state security forces and moroccan guards 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 in the west that continues to metal in their home countries? however, so migrants troubles don't end when they make it to the you i'm the thing to national is accused the commission of sending a blind eye to the illegal detention of thousands of arab and african migrants in lithuania, including cases of abuse and discrimination in the treatments of asylum seekers while highlighting the contracting treatments of ukrainian refugees in the 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, that 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, as when i follow the news and see how the world show solidarity with ukrainian refugees and how they treat us here. now if you and you know, you commission officials have yet to respond to those allegations. amnesty international also documented cases of racial abuse, including the use of offensive slurs being used against men and women of color while in the through any 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 whites to that they were all released almost immediately. please help us harper's. 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 and protection from european authorities, as well as a warm reception for many residents of the you who even let ukrainian refugees stay in their homes. nigerian politician adama gobber says the welcome ukrainian refugees have received an e you compared to the treatments of those from africa and the middle east explosives, global disparities discarding between the people on those people of color that are not or people is becoming so entrenched because they've got to kind

of watch them all right? if you're talking about the responsibility for the, for, for the general population of the world, if you're picking about the q responsibility to be able to manage everybody based on the issues that there might be having, we can not how ukrainian geez, running into the country, getting all to better team ended up as human beings, while the people of color, like 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 the instructional board, like a detention center. so it's like they're technically being put into prison. deny. that's why i love to proceed with them. so. so this is, this is really not good. what are paul? this is, this is just an sole mean human nato has adopted a new strategic concept with russia label. it's most significant and direct threats . the alliance, though, is having some difficulty agreeing on this and the key policies,

as ortiz shall davinsky 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 pulses 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 a heads held high to some degree. it's not clear what nato chief he in 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, death, destruction at the scale, which is much not worse than what you see in your crane today. you all's over. a correspond built of course, to prevent escalation beyond ukraine. and that's the reason why the nate was not a part of the conflict on the ground, but that came hand in hand. with this hunting out 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 not on the table that's not working, described as the biggest overhaul of native collective defense and of 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 was seemingly unaware of his plan and 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 seeming a high notes in the summit included the announcement that sweden and finland are about to join the pack off to all. there had been a lot of arm twisting by turkey to get anchors 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 unless both countries continued to dance to it's tune. first,

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 homers 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, ham, about 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, we believe that they stand investing more in germany's and military defense is, is really a good idea is yet to be determined. this week summit 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 at some countries, extorting others left right and centre. lately, my colleague and nicky are and discussed nato's policies towards russia and relations between his members with a puddle of guest they test his claims to block does not was a confrontation with most cases. it was your take on that statement. i mean, it just a ball faced lie and he knows it, nobody knows it. 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 in ukraine, so that russia will never again seek to entertain a similarly aggressive move that it didn't 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 is already, 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 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 there are 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 welfare conducted by nato against russia. joe biden has claimed that a so called nato i zation of europe is the only road to peace there. do you agree with that? if there's one thing that the conflict is exposed, is how much you is hostage of natal. the us things are unveiling right now that you is not, is not it's completely hijacked by us interest. and they all following, and the going against their own people day. when you, you look at cleaning and see them, did they do as a friend them and ask people if they want to join, they won't do that. they're not real democracies and the supporting

a state you clean. she's the least in aquatic. there's no position. it's an, as he stays the supporting, nothing, any. it's a shame considering europe history. meanwhile, china was also mentioned in the updated strategy, branded as a systematic challenge. as leaders of asian pacific stays also attended the summits, beijing's top diplomats reacted with a warning scene. the further nato enlargement could ignite a confrontation. in recent years, nato has 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 list has cold on nato members days to expand their global influence, including send and weapons to taiwan, to deter potential chinese military action against the island. the senior fellow of the pango institution, which is a china based thing. thank says nate,

those presence in the asia pacific would only destabilize the region. well, i think they are not happy in particular, the europeans, they are not happy that the china did not join them to condense russia also imposed on russia. that the champions, at least the diplomatically the holding russia equals china and the security against russia and depression of the united states and the european a week that then, you know, basically the falling than to allow. they can be used as a tool against china in the us. the new coal contain china. so you can think of it like the old china china, right? china, their value guarantee. and you know, for, we are also present at the summit that also in our development

could be that could be stabilized. the higher we asia us president joe biden urged owners of us gas stations to immediately reduce petrol prices. thus, despite to nearly appeal by american manufacturers listing problems, the industry faces and underlining the war in ukraine isn't the main reason for the crisis. my message to the companies running gas stations in setting prices at the pump is simple. this is a time of war in global peril. bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product and do it now. today's situation did not materialize overnight and will not be quickly solved. although the russian invasion is undoubtedly exacerbating the situation, today's challenges are largely the result of high crude prices due to a supply and demand imbalance, logistics, re shuffling and policy decisions made at the federal and state levels over many

years. many u. s. refineries which supply gas stations with petroleum are working at almost full capacity. industry has faced serious difficulties since march up the imports of russian oil were bond. measures taken by the president, including the release of oil reserves and a pizza congress to temporarily suspend a gasoline taxes having significantly improve the situation. nevertheless, joe biden announced that he wouldn't ask saudi arabia to increase its oil production during his visit due next month, commented on the issue. he instead reiterated is putting the blame for the reco prices, as well as for the global food crisis solely on russia. the reason why gas prices are up is because of russia, russia, russia, russia, the reason why the food crisis just is because of russia. we discussed the reasons behind rising fuel prices in the u. s. with human and labor rise slightly done kovachick. he told us, the american economic crisis is deep rooted, and it's

a to ration is due to the sanctions, not versus actions. and ukraine. inflation was rising even before the special operation in ukraine. and to the extent inflation has gotten worse in span, and in particular, oil prices have gotten worse. that since then, that can be blamed squarely on the sanctions that the u. s. imposed on russia. it's fighting call that, that inflation is going up and that the economy is probably headed to a recession. if it's not already in a recession. politicians trying to deflect responsibility from themselves. that's why they're blaming russia because they are going to lose elections over there. so they're trying to say, oh, it's not our fault, it's rushes fall, but the people aren't buying it because you look at the polls. the polls show the biden's approval ratings are historic lows. and they continued you decline right now. well, that's a rep for now. whatever you're up to this weekend,

i hope you're having a great one. my name is peter scott's on the back again in just over 30 minutes time with another rundown of this week's main stories. for what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk about that. the bill girl i think is 70 percent of

even 80 percent of so be of the below for why serbia in a lease you say i want to approach and it means i want this best buy this one. me not a toyota me sale, possibly talk to logan and then we'll proceed with ah, good, good,

good. good. good. good. so she is like a brings. i like a nice so i mean, you know, you can call me when you bring in the new year. come cousin, really war shot record lou, lou she, when you press be a good. yeah. second why i'm with lucel . we do go with the see in the role as i mean she has to do but the.
