plans the curb, the autonomy of a large republic within the country, all to a head, a warning you may find the following footage. disturbing a call for justice i made claims of a cover all over the rail number of victims. the un demands and investigation into the dance of at least $23.00 africans up the hands of moroccan security forces. after a cry to storm the border of a spanish enclave with the big stories from the past 7 days. and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly art. see, hello and welcome. i mean, in order we begin with breaking news, this our, the entire territory upolu ganske people's repub calls being taken under sol,

russian control. the country's defense minister directly reported the development to vladimir putin when russian ledge forces up no chicken control over our list, it chanced the areas surrounding it. the city was the last major stronghold on ukrainian forces in the ganske republic. a number of important administrative buildings in the city were destroyed by the withdrawing ukrainian forces. russian defense ministry. se is more than a 180 square kilometers, were taken under control. my russian led forces over the past 24 hours following the end of fighting in the city of las, a chance. citizens all the loop. gowns, republic, camping, welcoming russian troops. i movers deserves a

do it with region region was i, you know, at least 4 civilians have been killed after ukrainian armed forces launched missiles at the russian city of belgrade. 3 of the victims were ukrainian citizens who had fled the country and sought refuge in russia. this is some of the fudge. we've received of theater. ah, you see the russian defense ministry

se ukraine launched 3 ballistic missiles loaded with clustered munitions on to russian territory. all of them were intercepted me there, but one of the remaining sections of the missiles fell to the drawing, causing fire on destruction. russian foreign ministry at spokeswoman re is a harvard called the attack, a provocation prompted by the west and intended to force moscow to strike back st. keeps go. it is emma li, the goal is to keep regime is still frank with weapons on residential area. last, all this is not the 1st time this has happened that we understand that the actions of the cleaning machine are not just coordinated with western curator near. put it most likely prompted by them zappa. this is done in order to push us to strike back what and then further increase the anti rationale exterior. we have so far refrain from taking such staff or so, but we'll, we'll be flowing developments very closely. and those who act on this way should now did the publication katina ish. i will answer accordingly answered,

i see school is cynthia. well, to discuss what helping them join initiative. i ortiz john quarter. hi there, don. so rock, it's raining down on a russian city. take us through the deadly attack. will this attack on russia's border region of belgrade appears to be the worst ever ukrainian bombing of russian territory according to the regions governor, we're talking about 3 ballistic missiles here. these are high, highly precise a lot more than artillery and they were armed with cluster munitions, which means that they were trying to kill as many people as possible. i mean, these cluster munitions are aimed primarily at killing people rather than damaging infrastructure. and despite the fact that all 3 of them were intercepted, mid air, the components from just one of the missiles landed and ended up killing at least 4 people and injuring for others. there was also, there were also dozens of apartment buildings as well as houses that were damaged in the explosions. and this all took place not anywhere near any sort of military installation. now this,

these attacks actually happened around the same time that russian and logan's people's militia forces a retake, retook and liberated all of that. we've gone to people's republic, and we do have journalists and don boss as well as in belgrade itself. and they were able to collect some eye witness accounts of these attacks. so let's take a listen. logo. they were explosions. one house was destroyed, one burned down. that's what happened. obviously it wasn't the gas tank. exploding wishlist, there was powerful explosion from the one side of the flat where i have a bedroom. the window is intact. and on the other side of the apartment, the windows were completely shattered. identical of poor goods from one explosion, then another and another 1 o'clock. i heard the fire burning, i was in the hall and then my windows blew out though everything was knocked down. but it's also a side to the story though that's equally as ironic as it is tragic. 3 out of the 4 people who were killed in these attacks were actually ukrainian citizens. so it

looks like as key of attempted to hit russia below the belt by purposely targeting civilians, they really ended up shooting themselves in the foot. right. it is the deadliest attack, as we mentioned, dawn by ukrainian forces on russia, but it's far from the 1st time something like this has occurred. right. that's, that's correct. as we heard earlier from maria's harvard looks like, you know, the bombing of civilian areas on russian territory has become an explicit goal of ukrainian forces. i, myself was at russia's border region of rust off when the special military operation began. and it was back then that the ukrainian forces began targeting with artillery civilian areas on russian border regions. russell was one of them where i was as well as course brians and belgrade included, was bombed at that time. one night b area that i was in was actually hit by over 40 shelves in just one night, fired indiscriminately at places that had no sort of military infrastructure close

to it. so these bombings really are nothing new, but the fact that a handful of people were killed and that ukrainian military used high precision ballistic missiles to aim directly at a residential area. was really shocking. don, thanks very much for bringing us through all that ortiz don quarter. ok. another story to bring attention to today. the bag president said he will drop plans in upcoming constitutional reforms to take away the right for correct cal puck stuff on autonomy region within was back, is done to secede from the country. it follows math protests in the regions capital nucleus overnight with dense and injuries reported as right. police broke up crowds . a warning you may find the following. images disturbing. i would, with footage purports to show people tending to wounded protesters on police using

stung grenades on tier gas against a state of emergency has been declared for one month and the leasing with authorities claiming the demonstrators were attempting to seize power. a locally based reporter told us more. augusta, currently a state of emergency has been declared and a curfew imposed in care cal pakistan for a man whose becca stand has also closed the border checkpoint between care, cal pakistan and context on the prior to that last saturday. this back authorities published a draft amendment to the countries constitution. it proposed to exclude the sovereign status of care, cal pakistan, and it's right to secede from the country by holding an internal referendum. this change caused discontent in the republic and this past friday about 15000 citizens of peer cal pakistan stage. the procession for the regions capital news on the government of his pakistan has been forced to take tough measures with soldiers

from whose pakistan and security forces were brought into care cal pakistan, and they use smoke bombs and tear gas against the demonstrators. as a result, at least one person was killed and several others were injured. on friday nights, the internet was cut off, but cellular service remained available. according to his becca stands, internal affairs ministry, public order has been restored, but protests continued overnight on saturday. on saturday, the president and prime minister of his pakistan flew to new case. the president promised to preserve the norms of cara, how pakistan and their right to secede from the country in the constitution. right now the situation in the republic is returning to normal report. kara callbacks dan, as a sovereign republic, within his pakistan, it occupies about 40 percent of the entire territory of the country. about 2000000 citizens live here. this backs cara, cow packs, russians and so on. they live in peace and harmony, and we hope that everything will be fine soon. ok,

let's move the program on to some news that shape the weight. now the un human rights office is calling for an independent investigation into the recent killing of at least 23 african migrants by moroccans. security forces. the incident took place when around 2000 people. storm the border of a spanish enclave in northern morocco wanting the following footage is profit ah. aside from those killed, hundreds rolls were wounded, including a $140.00 border guards. the u. n. c's moroccan authorities used buttons on stones to repel the migrants as they tried to scale offense to enter. what is e u. territory rights activists claim police deliberately refrain from helping the injured the incident later spar protests in the spanish capital. human rights watch seized. the skirmishes showed the contrasting attitude toward 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 lights. large scale attempts to climb over the fences around malea, post security concerns, but in no way justify the violence we have seen. will ortiz, racial blevins has been taking a look at why some migrants may be treated differently to others. 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. as 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 and 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 man 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 and carried out by gangs until it's time what we are 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 gods did was defend spain's borders center left. 5 while the treatment of african migrants has been met with little 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 dehumanizing 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 it's the west that continues to metal and their home countries sloshed. the prices of the pumps valve is the clear message to you as gas station owners from president biden, who says they need to step off on a time of global emergency calls by the ukraine conflict. but that all runs country

to a recent joint letter by the fuel industry, which said the current crisis has roots going back years. 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. yeah, pretty divergent. those messages, aren't they? and indeed many u. s. refineries which supply gas stations are working at almost full capacity. the industry has faced serious difficulties since march of for imports of rational refund measures taken by the president say, including the release of oil reserves on the plea to congress. to temporarily

suspend gasoline taxes. hobbins improve the situation to any significant level. nevertheless, jo biden's valid knowledge to us saudi arabia to increase its or production during his visit there later this month, commenting on the issue. he instead reiterated that he's putting the blame for the record prices, as well as for the global food crisis, squirrely on russia. the reason why gas prices are up is because of russia, russia, russia, russia. the reason why the food crisis exist is because of russia. among the reaction we got to this story was from labor rights lawyer done koval a could believe the u. s. economic crisis has been some time in the coming on has only been made worse by sanctions and russia. inflation was rising even before the special operation in ukraine. and it, to the extent inflation has gotten worse since then and, and in particular,

oil prices have gotten worse. that since then, that can be blamed squarely on the sanction that the u. s. imposed on russia. it's fight in full that inflations 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 russia's fault, but the people aren't buying because you looked at the polls. the polls show the biden's approval ratings or historic loaves, and they continued you decline right now. now this week, nato issued its new 2020 to strategic concept, sound label russia. they quote, most significant on direct threat to the block. however, not everyone within nato seems on board, but both that another key front and center policies expanding and all that. your

chart is charlotte uminski. at the nato summit in madrid, the alliance made it crystal clear. just how it sees russia to day leaders have endorsed naples new strategic concept. it makes clear about russia's, russia pulses, the most significant and dyadic threats to our security. but despite nato officials claiming that there 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, permanent play, but other key block powers calling 1st swift ceasefire in ukraine and a diplomatic settlement that would allow all sides to walk away with a head held high to some degree. it's not clear just what nater chief yen stilton berg really wants either. if this becomes a full scale war between russia and natal,

then was it suffering damaged? death, destruction at the scale, which is much, much worse than what you see in your crane today. yours over a correspond built of course to prevent escalation beyond ukraine. and that's the reason why nato is not a part of the conflict on the round. 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 a knocked on the table that's not working. however, that was all news to many native members who were seemingly unaware of this plan. and wondering if they needed to commit more troops to figure it turns out was conceptual. the details of the nato force model, including its precise scale and composition,

continue to be developed and that won't be ready until 2023. that is still a long way off, especially for russia. a stilton 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 arm twisting by turkey to get anxious approval with both nordic countries making concessions, which may come back to bite them. 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 list, our journalists provoking widespread condemnation from kurdish and human rights groups. stock coma has sought to allay those concerns, saying that he would always follow swedish lewis. if it does though, that could potentially scupper 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 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, but some countries extorting others left right and centre charter davinsky. meanwhile, a local marin finland has reportedly proposed the placing of a nate. so base on the border with russia specifically inside cordelia, which is less than a 100 kilometers away from the russian city of the board. it's this fight helsinki

. previously repeatedly saying nato trips wouldn't be placed so close to the russian frontier. while earlier vladimir putin said he wasn't surprised by nettles, quote, ante russian policies as the alliance continues to stick with its cold war rhetoric . social 2 new students through the fact that nato has been preparing for an anti ration action since 2014 is no news to us. this is exactly what explains are decisive measures to protect our interests. nato is a rude amount of the past era. the ear of the cold war, we have been repeatedly told that nato has changed. that is more of a political block now. but they have been trying to find an opportunity to boost it as a military organization. so here we go, there now doing it. there's nothing new here. this week, my colleague nick urine disgust nato's policy tore to russia and relations between its members with the bundle of guest latest his claims to pluck does not want to confrontation with most case it was your take on that statement. i mean, it just

a ball faced lie and he knows it, nobody knows it go on objective of the united states, which is the lead player and nato. nato does not blame without american approval. 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 did in ukraine against anywhere else in europe . that means that the purpose of 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 it 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 distance. yog refused, 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. 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? there's one thing that the conflict is exposed is how much you is hostage of natal in the u. s. it seems unveiling right now that you is not, is not, it is completely hijacked by us interest. and they all following,

and it going against their own people day. when you you look at siena and sweden did they do the referendum and asked people if they want to join the they won't do that. they're not real democracies and the supporting a stay you clean. she's the least democratic is an opposition. it's in that the state, the supporting nancy. any. it's a shame considering the europe history for china was also mentioned in the updated strategy and branded as a systematic challenge. as leaders of asian pacific states attended the 2022 nato summit, beijing's top diplomat reacted with a warning thing 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. this may be what the spokesperson was talking about. british

foreign sag released ross has called, and natal member says to expound their global influence, including sending weapons to ty warm in order to deter what she called the potential chinese invasion of the island. a senior fellow of a pan gall institution of china based thinktank seized nato expansion into the asia pacific region would destabilize the area. well, i think they are not, in particular, bigger apiece. they are not happy that the china did not join them to condemn russia to impose on russia, at least, that the champion, at least, the diplomatically holding russia equals china and then the shortly constrained russia and the pressure of united states and the european a week. then, you know, basically the following them are to allow me to be used as a tool against china in the us, the new cold war called china. so you can say like the old

china china to write challenge the are intuitive value guarantee. and you all are, we are also present at the summit that also our development could be that could be stabilized the entire weekend. it's pretty close . i'm hoping now it's been remarked that russia had something of an identity crisis since the end of the soviet union. so how, how's the ukraine conflict impacted that the head of the vall die discussion club titles, a big issue right ahead in world support. ah, ah

ah ah, ah ah

mm hm. mm hm. the welcome to worlds apart for the last 3 decades since the collapse of the soviet union, russia has been floundering through an identity crisis. i'm sure about what it is an insecure about what it wants to be. do you believe can saturation with the west? proved short lived on the brother on the reciprocated while the relationship with the rest of the world was more talked about than attended to. and then came the military operation in ukraine. that changed absolutely everything. what does it leave russia in the search for its own identity and relations with others? to discuss that i'm now joined by federal,

a piano research director of the ball di discussion club for there is great to see you in the studio again. thank you very much. for coming over, thank you for reminding me. now in psychology, the 4th decade of life is usually associated with a mid life or an identity crisis, which could be quite cataclysmic. if the manifesting problems are not attended to in time or if they are allowed to accumulate. and i wonder if we can also apply that metaphor to russia, which now finds itself in pretty unprecedented circumstances both externally and internally. yes, but the question is whether this identity crisis is just beginning or this crisis did begin. so 2 plus years ago when russia lost the previous identity, which was called food union. and try to become, as you said, in the beginning, truly integral part of the.
