this with a russian lead force is established full control over lieut downs republic territory to the last city. there is taken also a head on the program with at least 4 civilians, including free citizens from ukraine are killed then the deadliest ever ukrainian miss. i'll, i talk on russian territory after thousands take to the streets and clash with the

police in his back as the president drop his plans to curb the autonomy of a large republic within the country coming up as well. i wanted to even find the following footage. a call for justice i made claims of a cover off over the number of faith holidays. the un mom's on the investigation into the depths of at least 23 africans of the hands of moroccan security forces after a crime tried to storm the border of us foundation, a top stories from the past 7 days. and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly and r t. hello and welcome. no new. we begin with the latest from the ukraine conflict. the entire territory all fell against people's republic

has been taken under full russian control. russia's defense minister directly reported the development to president putin. our senior correspondent, murat garcia, is in lou ganske on file this report. it was somewhat of the challenge getting into least the chance itself because ukrainian forces us as they withdrew from the city and it subs the entirety of them. they blew all the bridges leading into the city, the multitude of them dotted along the rivers of the circle, the city. but once we got in we were, we were surprised that so much of the city had been sped damage in comparison to other urban areas such a variable which we reported from and which suffered tremendously because of urban combat street fighting. in this case, what we saw was that ukrainian forces and that is a motion of them. you had nationalist elements as well as the, the,

the ukrainian military, regular military as well as a territorial defense units all mingled together on the different command. and they had spent months digging of trenches which for example, criss crossed the city. they had piled cars along major roads. and in the sections, mind different roads that lead into the city. again, a huge amount of effort that they had expended to make sure that as their leaders promised they would defend lisa chance to the last they. they said that lisa chance can save it the next. the battle flew through cities with the tub and the fate of east ukraine, but now we saw that you pinion element pulled out in the city before russian force has reached the city proper. we talked to the locals, many of them welcoming russian forces. well, the majority that we, that we spoke to at saying that finally, finally they were rid of fish. this world is fighting re united with the rest of

the gods palmer province. but they said that you kenyan units inside the city will highly disorganized and demoralized. as russian troops approached that was this organization amongst them that will these you la la, on the different command. there was very little collaboration and communication among them. eventually one units decided to pull off seeing the situation as hopeless and, and the rest hectic, li, followed suit eventually none were left and in the city itself, all of the believe in that they had been abandoned by their lead that so. so he asked his need, has had been reported now the entirety of the guns problem in a province, the 1st, the province in ukraine, formerly. ah, you crave that has now been entirely taken by local, by local forces. so that is the longest peoples province as well. as allied russian troops and allied forces, as well as the,

the offensive continues now that the city is entirely on the control the offensive now toward slave ounce can cram out doors, which ukrainian forces again promised to hold to the last. but as we've seen with, with lucy chance that may not be the case. and just to continual on morale was saying as ukrainian forces retreated from the law against republic heavily fortified positions in the area were left abundant. this exclusive footage shows deserted. trenches on the outskirts of less a chance the hasty withdrawal of the soldiers, many, many left behind personal belongings. following the end of the fighting in the city local, something welcoming russian troops. i moved it is. is there a way you could give me a call?

my calendar with region region was a on during the past week, a prisoner exchange took place with both at russia and ukraine, handing over a 144 captured soldiers a piece. the russian defense ministry said the swap was authorized personally by latimer boskus 895 percent of the return p. o w's which included service men from don bows were tortured by their ukrainian captors. some of the soldiers called their experience. if cecil and my son, we were exchanged, i can't describe how i failed, only emotions, people in ukrainian captivity face different conditions. someone is beaten,

someone is tortured with electricity. there's moral pressure. not to mention what relatives fail, which angle that identifies all of it. i am very grateful, i would like to thank the command, despite all the difficulties, they made some concessions in order to exchange us soldiers. the main thing is that they wanted us to return home for this. i want to say thank you for the fact that we will see our family soon. classes for rooms for students will. thank you for doing all this quickly and without hesitation with there was hope, i constantly believed that our people would exchange us. and here i am at home in russia, where another development over the weekend to tell you about at least 4 civilians have been killed after ukrainian armed forces launch missiles at the russian city of belgrade. 3 of the victims were ukrainian citizens who had fled the country and sought refuge in russia. let's take a quick look at some eye witness footage of a. ah,

you see here quite a side is not on the russian defense ministry. sage ukraine launched 3 ballistic missile was loaded with cluster munitions out russian territory. all of them were intercepted mirror sh, but mass debris fell to the ground causing fire and destruction. more than 50 civilian buildings were damaged and somehow as, as completely destroyed. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman called the attack a provocation. st keeps good is emma lee. 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, but we understand that these actions of the cleaning machine are not just coordinated with western curator. need it most likely be prompted by them zappa this is done in order to push us to strike you back what and then further increase the anti irrational exterior. we have so far refrained from taking such step or so . but to really flowing developments very closely and those who act on this way

should now bit of the practitioner continuation, we will answer accordingly answered, i see school is cynthia. 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 of 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 that. we've 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, they were explosions. one house was destroyed, one burned down. that's what happened. obviously it wasn't the gas tank exploding then which is there was a powerful explosion from the one side of the flat where i have a bedroom, a window is intact. and on the other side of the apartment, the windows were completely shattered. a ducal a poor, 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 coursed brians and belgrade included, was bombed at that time. one night the area that i was in was actually hit by over 40 shells 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. can know their story were across today, the respect president and said he will draw plums in upcoming constitutional reforms to take away the right for correct cal paxton autonomous region within is becca on to secede from the country. it follows mass protests in the regions capital overnight, but deaths and injuries reported as ride. police broke off, crunch a warning. you may find the following images disturbing. oh, oh, for the edge reports the show people tending to wounded protesters on police using stunning grenades and tear gas against citizens. a state of emergency housed being declared for one month in the region with authorities claiming the demonstrators

were attempting to seize power. now the republics health ministers, if thousands of people have been hospitalized on while who spec us and central government admitted there are victims, it's is yet to provide a number, a locally based reporter thomas worker due to 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 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 cow 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 and stage the procession through the regions capital. nuclear is 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 back, his stands, 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 kara kal paxton and the 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 his pakistan. it occupies about 40 percent of the entire territory of the country. about 2000000 citizens live here is max care, cal packs, russians. they live in peace and harmony, and we hope that everything will be fine soon. or i,

let's move on 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 moroccan security forces. the deadly incident took place when around. 2000 people stormed the border of a spanish enclave in northern morocco, wanting the following. footages, graphic ah side from those killed, hundreds were also wounded, including a $140.00 border guards. the u. n. c's moroccan authorities used buttons and stones to repel the migrants as they tried to skill offense to enter. what is e u. territory rights activist? claim police deliberately refrain from helping be injured. the instant later spark protests in the spanish capital human rights watch sees the skirmishes show. the contrast thing, 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, to see a total disregard for black light, large scale attempts to climb over the fences around malea, post security concerns, but in no way justify the violence we have seen. martine racial blevins has been taking a look at why some migrants are 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 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 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 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 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 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 in their home countries slash the prices of the pumps. thus, the clear message to american petrol station owners from president biden, who said they need to step up at a time of global emergency caused by the ukraine conflict. but that runs country to

a recent joint letter by the fuel industry, which said that the current crisis has roots going back years of a lot of it is done to u. s. government policy. 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 at almost full capacity. the industry house faced serious difficulties since march after in ports of russian oil were bound measures taken by the president, including the release of order reserves on a plea to congress, to temporarily suspend gasoline taxes,

haven't improved the situation to any significant level. nevertheless, joe biden slide not to, i'll saudi arabia to increase its oil production during his visit, their leader 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, squirrely and 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. libra rights lawyer duncanville believes the u. s. economic crisis has been some time in the making on has been worsened by sanctions targeting russia. inflation was rising up 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 spied 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 to decline right now . some days ago, nato issued its new 2020 to strategic concept and labeled russia the quote most significant on direct threat the block. however, not everyone within the nato alliance seems on board with both that and other key front and center policies with more,

your surety charlotte davinsky. 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 died threat 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 the 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 un 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 not worse than what you see in ukraine today. you all's over. a corresponds a bit of horse 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 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 left 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 stockton book 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 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, our journalists provoking widespread condemnation from kurdish and human rights groups. stock coma has sought to allay those concerns, saying that they would always follow a 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 a pass 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. but for some, the seemingly desperate backroom deals made it look more like the alliance is akin to a protection racket with some countries extorting others left right and center. what earlier vladimir putin said he wasn't surprised by nato's quote anti russian policies and the alliance continues to stick with its cold war rhetoric. so store on, you stood on still the fact that nato has been preparing for an anti ration action

since 2014 is no news to us. this is exactly what explains our 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 in the meanwhile, a local mirror in finland has suggested having a nato bass in his city, located near the border with russia. lapin. ranta is just some 60 kilometers away from the russian city of v. bourg and half that distance to the frontier. itself, moscow has warned it will take retaliatory stamps of a military, tactical nature if such bases appear in finland and sweetness, both nordic nations recently applied for nato membership. the finish foreign minister however stated there is no needs to place the blocks forces on finished

territory and contrast to the local moors. recent proposal. currently, finland does not need to host nato forces on its territory. finland has a common border with russia and it is safe there now. well, political analysts and culminated alexander poverty believes nato is attempting to escalate attention between europe and russia. you know, i would say this is a deliberate provocation and it was probably ordered from somewhere outside of the finished government. it's all about raising tensions in europe about manufacturing a non exist rush in existence of danger and threat. and, you know, if they want russia to respond so that they can say, ah, see, we told you how dangerous and threatening and mean the russians are. so, you know, i think that's the game that's being played right now. this never should have happened natal, which really shouldn't be existing. it should've been disbanded when the worship

won. the warsaw pact was all the problems we have today in europe are because natal still exists. and you know, nobody can say why we needed natal after the berlin wall fell. you know, but obviously now it's, it's clear that the military industrial complex and was needed nato and no one else . but, you know, it's imperiling peace in the whole european and even your, your asian land mass. all right, as we enter a new week, do keep right in the know by taking a look at our website all the days. big developments on plenty of informed analysis on opinion. always just a click away on r t dot call printer. ah ah

oh hello people i think is 70 percent of even 80 percent of serbian people for russians. but you know, you cannot make it like

a fission or like something that you, you know, the number people who come to wish for the book. and then you may conclusion, they are pro russians are not through. so phobia means also cerebral phobia. and we were, we have passed through this, so we know how the, the russian brothers are feeling at the moment. ah, a small apartment in the us district, aunt is brownie's love or dish. it begins painting. he already knows the pinch, his title, miracle.
