are killed in the worst ever ukrainian attack on russian territory after thousands take to the streets and club with police in the used by capital, the president drops fluwens the curb, the autonomy of a large republic within his bacon and a warning, you may find the following footage, disturbing. i'm with a call for justice that made the claims of a cover up with a real number of victims. the un demands an investigation into the deaths of at least $23.00 africans off the hands of moroccan security forces. after a crime drive to storm the border of a spanish and play with this is our international and we're live out 5 this sunday from the russian capital . welcome to the news hour. we begin with breaking news. the entire territory of their loot,

ganske at people's republic has been taken under fol russian control. russia's defense ministry directly reported the development to president vladimir putin. russian lead forces have now taken control over las a chance on the areas surrounding it. the city was the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces in the loop council republic. a number of important administrative buildings in this city were destroyed by the withdrawing kiev forces. it was reported, the russian, m. o. d save more than a 180 square kilometers were taken under control by the russian lead forces over the last 24 hours. while following the end of finding in list a chance citizens helping welcoming russian troops there good movie is, deserves

a home with mom with region was. ringback i will some more developments over the weekend to bring you 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 footage from eye witnesses. ah, you see the russian defense ministry say su

crane launched 3 ballistic missiles loaded with clustering munitions, russian territory. all of them were intercepted meter, but debris fell to the ground causing fire and destruction. more than 50 civilian buildings were damaged on some houses completely destroyed. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman called the attack provocation. st keeps go. it is emma li. the goal is to keep regime is to strike with weapons on residential areas. this is not the 1st time this has happened, but we understand that this actions of the cliff regime are not just coordinated with western curator. and he pulls it most likely, prompted by them. is that what this is done in order to push us to strike back and then further increased the anti russian hysteria? we have so far refrained from taking such step or so. but we will be following developments very closely. and those who acton this way should know that if the provocation continues, we will answer accordingly. and that i see school is cynthia, will this attack on russia's border region of belgrade? it 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 lugens people's militia forces retake, retook and liberated all of the wagons people's republic. and we do have journalists and on 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. lou. lou, there were explosions. one house was destroyed, one burned down. that's what happened. obviously, it wasn't the gas tank. exploding with there was a 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. a ducal a pool, good one explosion, then another. and another one. i heard the fire burning, i was in the hole and then my windows blew out. everything was knocked out. there'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 and 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 bronze and belgrade included was bombed at that time . one night the 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 the ukrainian military used high precision ballistic missiles to aim directly at a residential area is really shocking. developing story to keep you aware of today, the uzbeks president has said he will draw plums in upcoming constitutional reforms

to take away the rights for a color cal puts them on a thomas region at within who's pakistan to secede from? the country it follows must protests in the regions capital overnights with danson injuries reported us ride. police broke up crowds, a warning you may find the following. images disturbing. oh, oh, yes. so what we are purported to be looking at here are people tending to wounded protesters on police using some grenades until go against crowds. a state of emergency has been declared for one month and the major with authorities, claiming the demonstrators were attempting to seize power. a locally based reporter told us were order with the us government. currently, a state of emergency has been declared and a curfew imposed in care cal pakistan for

a month whose becca stand has also closed the border checkpoint between care, cal pakistan and context on that. prior to that last saturday, who's back authorities published a draft amendment to the country's constitution? it proposed to exclude the sovereign status of care, cal pakistan, and its 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 care compact stan stage the procession through the regions capital. nuclear is the government of whose becca stand has been forced to take tough measures. soldiers from his becca stand in security forces were brought into care, cal pakistan, and they used smoke bombs and tear gas against the demonstrators. as a result, at least one person was killed and several others were injured. on friday night, the internet was cut off, but cellular service remained available. according to his mecca stands, internal affairs ministry, public order has been restored, but protests continued overnight on saturday. on saturday,

the president and prime minister, whose pakistan flew to the capital of the region, the president promised to preserve the norms of care, cal pakistan, and their right to secede from the country in the constitution. right now, the situation in the republic is returning to normal. kara cal pakistan as a sovereign republic, within whose pakistan it occupies 40 percent of the entire territory of the country . about 2000000 citizens live here. this backs kara kal, packs russians. they live in peace and harmony and we hope that everything will be fine soon. yeah, we'll continue to keep close eye on that situation. but let's move all know to the news that shaped the week. the you and human rights office is calling for an independent investigation into the recent killing of at least 23 african migrants by morocco. security forces. the incident took place when around 2000 people. storm the border of

a smallish enclave in northern morocco. morning the following footage is brofy ah. aside from those killed, hundreds were also wounded, including a $140.00 border guards. the u. n. st moroccan authorities used buttons and stones to repel the migrants as they tried to scale offense to enter. what is e u? territory rights activists claim police deliberately refrained from helping the injured. the incident later spar protests in the spanish capital. human rights watch sees the skirmishes. sure. the contrasting 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, sport us, we see a total disregard for black life, large scale attempts to climb over the fences around malea. post security concerns, but in no way justify the violence we have seen. ortiz, racial blevins has been taking

a look at why some migrants may be being 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. 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 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 the sudden migrant search was the result of human trafficking carried out by gangs if we're talking about an attempt to assault the fence, it 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 slash that price is up the pumps. that is the clear message to u. s. gas station owners from president biden. he says they need to step up at a time of global emergency calls my be ukraine conflict. but it runs country to a recent joint letter by the fuel industry, which said the current crisis has reached going back years. a lot of it is washington's fault. 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. when many u. s. refineries which supply gas stations are working at almost full capacity. the industry has very serious difficulties since march after imports of rational reformed measures taken by the president, including the release of all reserves on the plea to congress, to temporarily suspend gossling taxes haven't improved the situation. to any significant level. nevertheless, joe biden side, not to all saudi arabia to increase its old production during his visit there later this month, commenting on the issue, he instead reiterated. he's putting the blame for the record prices, as well as for the global food crisis. squarely 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. yet, that's not what the labor rights lawyer done collect. thinks he said that the u. s . economic crisis has been some time in the making and has only been made worse by sanctions against russia. inflation was rising ah, even before the special operation in ukraine. and to the extent inflation has gotten worse since then, 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 fired in full, 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 russia's fault, but the people aren't buying because you look at the polls. the polls show the biden's approval ratings are historic lows and they continued you decline right now . some days ago, nato issued a new strategic concept on the label, russia, the quote, most significant and direct threat to the blog. however, not everyone within the nato alliance seems on board with both thought and other key front and center policies with more here shortage. charlotte had been ski 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 that russia's russia pulses the most significant and dyadic threats

to our security. but despite nato officials claiming that 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, 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 damage? death, destruction at the scale, which is much, much worse than what you see in your crime today. you also have a, a correspond built of course to prevent escalation beyond ukraine. and that's the reason why the 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 it 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. that had been

a lot of arm twisting by turkey to get an quiz 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 are 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 mac corners, hammer down the doctrine that you are passed 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 summit has been hailed as a success by nato. the 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 centre. yes, something else to tell you, abides a local marin finland has reportedly proposed placing a natal base on the border with russia, specifically in san corellia, which is less than a 100 kilometers away from the russian city of v board. it's the spite helsinki previously repeatedly saying nato troops wouldn't be placed so close to the russian frontier. moscow as one day it will be forced into a tit for tat response if such bases appear in finland. and sweden will, earlier vladimir putin said he wasn't surprised by natives. quote unquote, russian policies us the aligns continues to stick with its cold war rhetoric.

pushed through and 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, nicky urine, disgust nato's policy towards russia and relations between its members. with a panel of guests they test his claims to pluck does not once a 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 didn't 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 are fighting

a proxy war right at russia door. and they are enormous risks in this because things can escalated and they can go out. and in fact, not we are 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 eye zation of europe is the only way 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 nato in the u. s. it seems unveiling right now that for you is not, is not, it is completely hijacked by us interest and the old following. and it going against their own people day when you, you don't get seen and into than the day do of the referendum and ask people if they want to join, they won't do that. they're not real democracies. and this reporting

a state you claim she's the least democratic, is an opposition. it's in that the state, the supporting that see any. it's a shame considering that you up history with 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's, beijing's top to promote reacted with a warning saying that further nato enlargement cut ignite 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. well, those remarks may be in response to something like this. british foreign secretary liz trust calling on nato member states to indeed expand their global influence, including sending weapons to taiwan in order to deter what she called a potential chinese invasion of the island. senior fellow up the pon,

goal institution, a chinese at based think tank. say's nato expansion into the asia pacific region with only destabilized area. well, i think that they are not happy in particular vigor apiece. they're not happy that china did not join them to condemn russia, also imposed on russia, at least that the champion, at least, the diplomatically holding russia equals china and stand the same shortly concerning russia. thank you. and the pressure of the united states and the european a week. and then, you know, basically the following them to allow you as a school to chime in the us, the new or containing china that you can think of is like being china, china right there into the value of your

t. and now where you are calling for, we are also present at this matrix from it that also could be that could be stabilize the higher we asia. that's pretty close. i'm hoping. ok, let's return to what we're talking about at the top of the program. and before russian led forces gained full control of the guns republic intense baffles, raged for nearly a month in the industrial zone of several done yet the ukrainian army had turned into a t stronghold. but kiana's military was forced to retreat to be in your buy as result chemical plump, when russian lead troops entered the city, r t. crew visited the factory, the big, sprawling bass after ukrainian forces retreated to see what remained. yet another plant that was supposed to be the bastion of ukrainian defense that fell rather

quickly. this is the territory of the as thought factory of the assault 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 we're basically we're about to see how they lived and what they've left behind . 3 things. but i was like, oh, well drama with sarah was a little button with this. the teacher, but if you, if you get it from that, curator, i wouldn't want to lim was, would blur deputy therapy,

death would ruth, this was one of the firing positions of the ukrainian forces at the as a 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, lessons by your from of what they leave here 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 the no weapons will help them. hey,

jasmine found it now. we are going down to the 45 basement which was built earlier for those working in the adult plan to shelter from bombs, not hillary. you can on the sun, how much the defense was prepared here to do places and this is their sleeping quarters. you see the store, the ukranian army could hold out for a very long time. this is one of the shelters at the resort plant where i'm a platoon of ukrainian soldiers. well slept. i had some rest here. 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 the well separated with the un refugee agency world curtain and behind this curtain, ah, american made javelin missiles. sure. all of his pores on a student with one of machine you especially was of the shipping here. this place gives some serious flashbacks of another factory over in the city of murray opal, the infamous as of style where the as of near nancy battalion was sheltering for
