that time, european union emphasized that is something completely different, and russia actually accepted this. ah, a russian lead force is established full control over loot, downs republic territory. after the key city there is take it also with a lease for civilians including 3 citizens from ukraine are killed and what been called the worst deborah ukrainian attack on russian territory

after it's always in the picture. this traits doesn't clash with police. in ms. beckett's does the president drop on the curve, they told me of a large republic within the country. in the morning, you may find the following, for the disturbing a call for justice i made claims all the cover all over the number of victims. un demands an investigation into the debt or at least $23.00 african american security forces. after a cry tried to storm the border of our mission play with wherever you're catching the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow . on to the weekly news recap, i'm, you know, we begin with breaking news. this or the entire territory of the lute ganske

people's republic, has been taken under full russian control. russia's defense minister directly reported the developments to president putin. the announcement came after a russian lead forces to control over the systems. the area surrounding. now that city was the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces in the against republic. local officials set a number of important administrative buildings in the city were destroyed by the withdrawing key forces. the russian m o. d stated that more than a 180 square kilometers were taken under control by the russian lead forces over the last 24 hours. following the end of fighting in las a chance. locals helping welcoming russian troops there. oh, is there a way to

do it? with you know, what i well, some more developments over the weekend, at least 4 civilians have been killed after ukrainian armed forces launched missiles at the russian city of belgrade. at 3, not the victims were actually ukrainian citizens who had fled the country and sought refuge in russia. we can, i shall use some footage from my witnesses. the you see the russian defense ministry said ukraine

last 3 ballistic miss loaded with cluster munitions of russian territory. now all of them were intercepted mirror, but must the brief fell to the ground causing fire on destruction. more than 50 civilian buildings were damage done. some houses completely destroyed rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman called the attack a provocation. st keeps go. it is emma lee. the goal is to keep regime is still frank with weapons on residential area, laptop. this is not the 1st time this has happened, but we understand that the actions of nuclear gene are not just coordinated with his western curator near it. most likely, prompted by them is up on this is done in order to push us to strike back. but and then further increase the anti rush nelson area we have so far refrain from taking such step or still, but who will 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, 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 a retake, retook and liberated all of the will, gone to 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 wishlist. there was a powerful explosion from the one side of the flat where i have a bedroom, but the window is intact. and on the other side of the apartment, the windows were completely shattered. a ducal a pool of those hill, 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 my. 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 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

a 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 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 ukrainian military used high precision ballistic missiles to aim directly at a residential area is really shocking. ok to another over at headline stories today, views back president has said he will draw plums in upcoming constitutional reforms

to take away the right for correct cal puck stun atalla mas region. within his pakistan to secede from the country. it follows must protests in the regions capital over nights with deaths and injuries reported as ride. police broke up crowds and warning you may find the following. images disturbing. oh, oh oh, with for big reports to show people tending to wounded protesters on police using some frontier gulf against a states of emergency husband occurred for one month in the region with authorities claiming the demonstrators were attempting to seize power. a local base reporter told us more earlier bertha scott, 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 in kazakhstan. prior to that last saturday, this 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. cal pakistan staged a procession through the regions capital nucleus. the government of whose pakistan has been forced to take tough measures. soldiers from his pakistan and security forces were brought into care, cal pakistan, and they used to 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 pakistan, internal affairs ministry, public order has been restored, but protests continued overnight on saturday. on saturday,

the president and prime minister of his becca, stan flew to the capital of the region, while 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 callbacks dan as a sovereign republic with a news pakistan, it occupies about 40 percent of the entire tori of the country. about 2000000 citizens live here. this max care cal packs russians. they live in peace and harmony, and we hope that everything will be fine soon. yes, a story will be closely following on the program. well, let's move on though to the news that ship the week. the un human rights office is calling for an independent investigation into the recent killing of at least 23 african migrants by moroccan security forces. the deadly incident took place when around 2000 people storm the border of a spanish enclave in northern morocco. a warning the following footages graphic ah, well,

aside from those killed, hundreds were also wounded, including a 140 border guards. the u. n. c's moroccan authorities used bartons and stones to repel the migrants as they tried to steal a fence to enter. what is you? territory rights activist claim police deliberately refrained from helping the injured. the incident later spark protests in the spanish capital human rights watch sees the skirmishes showed the contrasting up attitudes towards migrants from different continents. on the other side, akira ukrainian refugees are rightly welcomed with open arms, but here and elsewhere along europe's borders, to see a total disregard for blacklight large scale attempts to climb over the fences around maleah, paris security concerns, but in no way justify the violence we have seen where our team, rachel 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 un 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 man who died. this is crucial to ensure a full investigation into what happened as a clashes. the witnesses who survived 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 until it's done 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 for susan moroccan gods did was defend spain's borders center left. 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 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, as the west, that continues to metal and their home countries slush the prices up the pumps. so say's president biden, to u. s. gas station owners who say that they need to step up by the time of global energy caused by an emergency by the ukraine conflict. that all runs country though, to a recent joint letter by the fuel industry, which said the current crisis house routes going back years on a lot of it's washington's falls. 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 are working in almost full capacity. the industry house fe series, difficulties since march shaft imports, oppression, or were bond measures taken by the president, including the release of oil reserves on a plea to congress, to temporarily suspend gasoline taxes. hum. not improve the situation to any significant level. nevertheless, chill biden's are not to our study arabia to increase its oil production during his visit. there later this, no commenting on the issue, he instead reiterated he is putting the blame for the record prices, as well as for the global food crisis,

squarely in 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. but a lot of people aren't swallowing, not including labor rights. laura don koval could believes the u. s. economic crisis has been some time coming and has only been made worse by sanctions on russia. inflation was rising even before the special operation in ukraine. and 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 sanctions that the u. s. imposed on russia. it's fight in full 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 because you look at the polls. the polls show the biden's approval ratings are historic love. and they continued you decline right now. now some days ago, nato issued its new strategic concept labeled russia. they quote, most significant and direct threat to the block. however, not everyone within the nato alliance seems on board with both that and other key front and center policies. with more here shorty, charlotte dubin ski. at the nato summit in madrid, d alliance made it crystal clear. just how it sees russia to day leaders have endorsed naples new strategic concept. it makes clear that rushes, 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 damaged? death, destruction at the scale, which is much, much worse than what you see in ukraine today. yours over a corresponds a bit of horse 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 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. however, that was all news to many native members who were seemingly unaware of this plan and left 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 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. that 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 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 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 summit has been hailed as the 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 centre. in while a local marin finland has reportedly proposed placing a nato base on the border with russia. specifically inside cordelia, which is less than a 100 kilometers away from the russian city of v burke. it is despite helsinki previously repeatedly saying nato troops wouldn't be place close to the russian frontier. moscow has worn it will be forced into a tit for tat response if such bases appear in finland and sweep. but earlier vladimir putin said he was not surprised by nato's quotes anti russian policies. as the alliance continues to stick with its cold war rhetoric. pushed through and you 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. they are now doing it. there's nothing new here in la jolla this week. my colleague, nicky, are in discuss nato's policy towards russia and relations between its members with puddle of guest. hey, test his claims to pluck. it does not once a confrontation with most cases, it was your take on that statement. i mean, it's just a ball faced lie and he knows it. nobody knows that go on objective of the united states, which is the lead to 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 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 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 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, not 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 natal i 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 natal in the u. s. it seems unveiling right now that for you is not, is not, it is completely hijacked by us interests. and they all following and in the going against their own people day. when you look at ceiling in sweden, did they do of 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 claim she's the least democratic,

is an opposition. it's in that this need the supporting nancy. any. it's a shame considering that europe, history or china was also mentioned in the updated strategy unbranded as a systematic challenge. as leaders of asian pacific states attended the 2022 nato summit, beijing's top diplomat reacted with a warning saying that 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. well, i think that was in response to comments like this from british foreign secretary liz trance, who called on nato member states to indeed expound their global influence, including sending weapons to taiwan in order to deter what she called the potential chinese invasion of the island. a senior fellow out there, pan goal, institution of china based think taxation. nato expansion in the asia pacific

region would 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 condense russia to impose on russia. that the champion, at least the diplomatically the older russia, because china and then the shortly concerned russia. thank you. and the pressure of 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 containment china. they need to be like being china, china, right challenge. they are into 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 the recent comments by ukraine's and pastor to germany, helping called, i rages and a distortion of the historical facts, the diplomats on the local is really embassy in berlin, after denying the involvement of stephan boundary in world war 2 crimes. the ukrainian ambassador statements are a distortion of historical facts, a trivialization of the holocaust, and an insult to those who were murdered by ben dera, and his people during a program on german television. under him. l lick defended world war 2. your and not see collaborator, step and bunder, who was a mouse, murder, poles, and jews. ukraine's foreign ministry distance itself from the industrious remarks, saying they were the most personal views and did not reflect the official views of

the key of government. mister melex comments appeared to come as a shock to the journalist, conducting the interview, a dresser. as an ambassador, you have visited the grave of zepplin, bendara. you said you're amazed by him. let's start with that. how long have you been? amazed by stepan, ben baron, and why? i never said i was amazed by him. yes, you deed, multiple times, shabba i did visit the grade because not only to me, but to many ukrainian. so i step on bendara, embody someone who fights for freedom and ukrainian independence for fights is for freedom such as him. there are no written laws. do you deny that he was an anti semitism that he admitted that he and his people were involved in murder of 800000 jews? i know he was not involved. id, there were pamphlets last round. when the germans entered the walt saint oil. people, you have to know the russians. he paused when guarantee and juice are our animals tell him in aged after this. you must know that all signed i in your fur 7 barrel. but and i will not tell you to day that i distance myself from that distance. you

know what led to citizens of the gal saying some years ago that they didn't want to leave ukraine. they wanted their home to be korean republic, 2 people there today being adamant their future lies with russia or short doc road to independence explores. and very issue next. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a tree that even from taishan, let it be an arms race, his on offense, very dramatic development only personally and getting to disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah,

in unit might have been a lot of level mr. was. are you let them me? you've got to be on the bus, ma'am. pretty alone. there we use that in the, for in the one you've been going to bars that you feel in them is probably can mr. you wish him law and go when you will do me in the room when personally lane, mr. bishop rachel's got on back. there's really principles are still more to be returned with letters, thoughts, and you love your music. my senior miss ah .
