a crime scene, the orange, the ride, something to do that week. i at that point, did that with that with moscow blames key of troops for the shelling of a detention facility and the danielle people's republic, killing 53 ukrainian prisoners of war, rushes envoy to the un says western countries are complicit in war crimes than ukraine and dunbar, as their weapons supplied to kiev, are being used to massacre severely plus energy rationing measures. kick in across germany as the used top economy seeks to lead by example with europeans gearing up for a cold winter due to the backlash of their own sanctions against russia.
2:01 pm
with hi there you're watching our to international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. and now on to our top story, 53 ukrainian prisoners of war had been killed and 75 wounded in the shelling of a pre trial detention facility. and the danielle people's republic. moscow was accused key of troops of intentionally targeting that site and a warning. the following images are graphic, you may find them disturbing. russia says the ukrainian military used american supplied high marson rocket launchers to bombard the danielle facility. 8 of its employees were also wounded in the attack and our corresponded roman culture of reports from that scene. these are just some of the bodies alpha ukrainian soldiers, which were killed by their own ukrainian army overnight. now these guys, they've been killed by shrapnel. meanwhile, these guys right here,
2:02 pm
their bodies have been burned as a result of a strike. beyond recognition criminal experts from russia and from the de nest people's republic are now working on documenting every single body of every ukrainian soldier. even on $911.00 ukrainian authorities insisted on using this place of detention. it was discussed previously, so they knew perfectly well where the prisoners were being held and that's how they took the lives of their own soldiers, city, ukrainian army used high caliber, high mars artillery systems when they struck this barrick just after 2 o'clock at night. now there were at least $600.00 prisoners in a vis barrick alone. now, according to russian and defense ministry, this was a provocation on the part of the ukrainian army. was hercules organized when a force, a large number of ukrainian soldiers are laying down their weapons, as they know about the humane treatment of military prisoners by russia. this
2:03 pm
outrageous provocation was aimed at intimidating ukrainian soldiers and preventing them from surrendering was the walker, gall gantski. you in the gloom, the ukrainian prisoners of war began to talk about the crimes. they had committed on the orders of the ukrainian authorities. and after that they were attacked here . chia took these actions to gag those soldiers who began to talk about what was actually happening here in don bas, over the last couple of weeks. a members awfully nationalist as of battalion started giving witness accounts about that war crimes committed by them and their superiors. apparently those war crimes that were commissioned by the highest authority in key if, as the result, they were punished by high mars her to the reward systems. and these are just some of the fragments of that high caliber sho. earlier i interviewed canadian journalist eva bartlett, who was also at the scene of the attack on friday. this is clearly an intentional
2:04 pm
strike on this facility. and it's notable by the way, i went to the a hospital that was treating some of the injured after going to this prison. and although we weren't able to go inside to see the prisoners, they were in critical condition. a doctor did come out and give a statement and he said that the prisoners are in critical condition and they are undergoing surgeries, they're being given the medicine and the care that they need. and now i just want to point out the irony that russia is giving these cranium presents of, or medical treatment. no matter. you know, in spite of the fact that these are and be combatants. and it is ukraine that is caused, that is inflicted there of potentially mortal injuries on them. here's a perfect example of an out war crime committed by ukraine with western weaponry. and it is russia that is mopping up the mass. how do you think this incident is going to affect the morale among ukrainian troops currently in combat?
2:05 pm
well, i mean, we seen many, a videos being shared on social media on telegram, etc, of ukrainian troops saying like we don't have support from you know, our commanders were being or in some cases were being fired upon by our own army. were being deserted, are being sent out to the front lines when are not equipped to fight our being sent to our death. so i, i would say their morale was probably already quite low, but i mean, this is just the next blow. i mean, they, even, they were again, ironically in safe hands in russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe, they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, they're targeted by their own government. i mean it's, it's, it's, i can't imagine they could have any morale at this point. we've seen similar things in syria. we, we had in syria a terrorist, whether they were al qaeda for syrian army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering, but from crossing from terrorist held areas into searing government areas are
2:06 pm
intimidating down by threats that the government would rape or execute them. so we, and we've seen the same kind of strategies that have played out in syria being played out in ukraine. ah, well, amid the latest reports of ki, of using us supplied weapons for striking non military targets. rushes envoy to the un says such cases make western countries complicit in war crimes. sure, but i just knew mine is up and really good enough. i would like to draw the attention of western delegation as to the fact that the long range artillery provided by you is allowing the ukrainian own forces to reach areas behind the lines and on bass. and without any military logic and exclusively for the purposes of vengeance. and terror kill civilians all to get more details on what exactly happened at the un we go live to our new york correspondence caleb up and so caleb, one of the main takeaways from this latest un security council meeting?
2:07 pm
well, we heard the representative of ukraine try to shift the blame for this attack on the detention facility to russia, that he spent his time simply attacking russia and making accusations against russia when he addressed the security council. this is the ukrainian representative . there is nothing that will detect russia from killing and destroying there is no un charter for russia or a nose and the conventions for russia. there are no more other strains to mr. lower off. now the ukrainian rep or that it was asking for more weapons to be provided to ukraine by the nato, a line country. but russia was quick to point out the kinds of weapons that were used in today's attack. and from there to point out the danger of these weapons, not only going into the hands of the ukrainian military, which is known to work with extreme it and have extreme elegance with it. but in
2:08 pm
addition to that, into the hands of criminal than in the hands of terror than others. so at this point, we the rush of pointing out the danger of the continued blow of weapons. now it's also important to note that the us representative who, of course, made a high rate of accusation and heated words against russia was counter when the representative of china. china has a very clearly different conception of who is the primary threat and was escalating tensions in the world today. this is the u. s. representative followed by the representative of china for those countries which say that one country security should not come at the expense of another's. what exactly do you call russia's armed invasion? norman invasion of his neighbour, disdaining attempts at a peaceful resolution by silencing its guns withdrawing his forces and in bracing diplomacy for countries which call for all parties to embrace diplomacy without
2:09 pm
naming russia, let us be clear. russia's ongoing actions are the sole obstacle to a resolution to this crisis. at a time when the international community is in dire need of unity and co operation to overcome to difficulties together, it's extremely irresponsible and dangerous to quinn to their cold war mentality. unblocked politics promote decoupling on small yard, unheard of funds to politicize instrumentalists, on black manager, economic and trade exchangers to colors other countries to take size and to deliberately. ready create division, that confrontation we are differences express between major countries at a meeting of the un security council, the 16 member body that leads the united nations as parties. caleb mob and reporting live from new york. germans are starting to literally
2:10 pm
see and feel the energy crisis with street lights being switched off, plus a toilet paper shortage. as europeans hunker down for a cold winter due to reduced energy imports from russia over the e was own sanctions. artie contributor rachel marston has more citizens of countries in the european union and are already getting a taste of what life could look like under energy restrictions, even though the real crunch isn't expected until the colder weather arrives later this year. but all ready, power rationing is popping up in some pretty surprising places as the eas sanctions against russian gas start to bite back well against europeans and russian energy. giant gas krom also reduces flow through its north stream one pipeline by 80 percent of usual capacity. citing maintenance issues, fear has said in among german officials, given the countries heavy reliance on russian gas in the city of hanover, for example, users of public pools and gems risk finding the water ice year than usual. and
2:11 pm
we'll have to take cold showers after their work out. as city officials start imposing heating restrictions on pools and showers and public facilities. frankly, it sounds like a great vacation destination for our competitive swimmers, like me who always find public pools of certainly overheated. so c, as soon had our but it would be amusing to see france try that as it takes nearly, he weighs for many french to even remove their scarves. so your mileage may vary on these restrictions and don't even think of diving into a public fountain instead of a cool german pool. the city said that it's turning those off to save energy. the goal is to reduce our energy consumption by 15 percent. this is a reaction to the impending gas shortage, which represents a major challenge for the municipalities, especially for a big city like hanover berlin is also soft lighting, its monuments by the way. so 50 percent is the gas reduction target set by the u commission, but never states including france, spain, ireland, greece, malta,
2:12 pm
cypress portugal and others want exemptions in the event that push ever comes to shove and it becomes binding. and over in bavaria, paper manufacturing officials or warning about the french potentially leading to toilet paper shortages. yeah, you heard that right? real ones. this time apparently. so for our germans who irrationally ran out and t, the shelves of toilet paper and supermarkets, like pretty much everywhere else in the western world. right. as cov id sat in, maybe your little tester on there won't be wasted. after all, many employees in my company are already very worried. i can't blame them because if we can only produce 50 or 60 percent, the operation is not worthwhile for us. to be honest, i worry too. meanwhile, laquia seems to be falling discreetly in the footsteps of hungry, whose foreign affairs minister has already into new deals with russia for more guests in defiance. if you sanctions lobby is mean gas distribution operator is now
2:13 pm
admitting that it's also buying gas from russia just not from gas, from latvia is purchasing gas now? yes, but not from gas prom because there is no way for us to pay gas prom. we have a different supplier, it's kind of like france maintaining liquefied natural gas imports from russia in massive quantities. since the onset of the ukraine conflict, there is a public noise that some you countries are making about the need for unity and solidarity against russia. but while some countries are putting the sanctions into squeeze on their own people, others are already quietly going their own way. international oil economist mondo solomon told us that the energy crisis has only just begun for europeans. that's around germany is doing is gone by land gametes, which will not benefit. and the head, new crisis in which germany finds itself in town again the europeans.
2:14 pm
and i'm glad you know that it is m as your future is fitted with. basha is dying with russia, so when you do, they have in the final re some circle relation. iran lines are wise, it becomes, i've been and that will lead the european union's a image to clear match. now letting their history grab them thinking and then judge human this season. they are finishing a little problem. i have the problem is just something they will have to be a huge. if not when bess and energy reynolds, they will have short the years. and if they have a hard shrimp bell,
2:15 pm
they release germany's economy minister has found himself on the receiving end of public discontent as he's been booed while making a speech at a local event. o, sanderson, this is the minister was accused of a failed foreign and economic policy, and he even had to cut his speech short and leave the event in a hurry. protesters reportedly outnumbered those who were there to actually listen to his speech, and this comes just days after 7 german mayers wrote a letter to the german finance minister, demanding at the north stream. 2 gas pipeline be opened to avoid eminent, social, and economic turmoil in the country. the path taken by the federal government to disconnect from russian energy sources is not the right path. stopping gas imports from russia would mean an explosion in the
2:16 pm
cost of living, which would lead to social instability and unrest that could spiral out of control . this comes as public anger over the backlash of western sanctions. mounts on both sides of the atlantic ocean. some american taxpayers aren't impressed with jo biden's efforts against russia either as they're the ones having to foot the bill. earlier this week, russia's gas prom said it would cut the flow of gas through the north stream one pipeline to germany by half response. the white house dispatched its presidential coordinator for global energy to europe, who shared washington's willingness to cover for a lack of fuel in world markets. private sector, as we talked to them in united states, said they can increase production in the united states by about a 1000000 barrels a day. but it's gonna take time to investment. it'll come at the end of the year. so we stepped in, present, stepped and said, i'll fill that gap, right? so hopefully my expectation is that the, the private sector in the us will in have those increases coming. so we don't need
2:17 pm
to have the emergency from the u. s. government with the energy crisis, crippling european economies, the mothballs nord stream to pipeline has been called a key solution. however, russia's foreign minister says you leaders are too focused on trying to hurt russia, instead of tending to their own taxpayers. sergei lab rav insisted that moscow remains open to negotiations, and he made the statement stirring his tore of several african countries. certainly, but the look of the re, full nor stream to which is fully ready to meet the needs of europe in this type of fuel is closed for purely political reasons. although all investments that are made in this mega project were made in full compliance with eulogy escalation. however, as soon as old this was already read the full peroration. the european commission retroactively adds up to standards. that's us still being used to slow down this gas pipeline, which is crucial for europe's energy security. former german lawmaker martin dozer
2:18 pm
told us that foreign policy is conducted by berlin. don't cater to the interests of the country's population to policy, which sir mister herbert brings forward, has nothing to do with the interest of the normal population. it has to do something with the interest of the journal capital and especially for the green party and deliberately bring forward the interest of the us government who are bringing forward and imperialist audit. she's and to want to see if they can, when we shouldn't be, as europeans or german population. we shouldn't be dependent on the agenda from the us. so we should have the possibility as well to get the car through nor stream to. so i don't know whether that happens if i look at the policies of the government of germany, especially of the green party and the liberals. they don't want things like that to
2:19 pm
happen. but i hope that there will be actors who, why strong in the arena, political and economical discussion will bring forward the interest of the german population. the german and population has interests and good relations to all countries. in europe, the majority of the general population and that should be brought forward by the politicians. so i think it's a natural reaction. in spite of all the propaganda which is done to bring forward sanctions and sol comes amid the failure of the canadian side to supply a long awaited turbine for the north stream. one pipeline. in accordance with an initial contract, that's according to gas problems. deputy chairman, the turbine is needed to fully renew gas supplies to europe via the pipeline gas from earlier sent 10 letters to siemens,
2:20 pm
which handles the repairs of the turbines. about technical breakdowns on north stream. one gas from says siemens should have delivered the fixed turbine straight to russia in accordance with agreements and not to germany. in other news, french president emanuel micron is being bombarded with criticism over his warm reception of the saudi arabian crown prince and paris. critics are pointing out double standards as france sanctions, russia, but embraces, embraces saudi arabia as an ally, despite allegations of riots, complicity and war crimes. access toil in arms, sales to saudi arabia, which makes the executive branch of power complicit in war crimes. in yemen, of course, explains mister microns complacence towards m. b. s. in contrast to his position on ukraine. even if been salman from saudi arabia has dirty or stained hands. he is nevertheless welcomed in france. as long as we can do business with this despot, we don't care about the rest. who to choose between bin salman and vladimir putin.
2:21 pm
russia. they are villains, saudi arabia, they aren't malicious villains. what does that mean? that's a state secret. it's comes amid the crown prince's 1st trip to europe since the 2018 scandal over the killing of journalists, jamal cas shoji the saudi consulate. in istanbul, a prominent human rights organization has urged the french government to investigate the prince on his alleged role in the killing. and mohammed bin solomon was warmly welcomed in paris after a similar reception in greece. meanwhile, some critics have also pointed to france's own a legit atrocities committed during the countries military intervention in molly mass graves have reportedly been uncovered recently in that country with some of the bodies showing signs of torture. killings allegedly took place near the side of a french army base, which was withdrawn a few months ago. and last year the un published a report on a deadly attack by
2:22 pm
a french military plain. and molly killing at least 900 people at a wedding for its part, paris has denied its forces. targeted civilians in the african country. a political analyst nichol. markovich says frances, craving for cheap energy is promoting a policy, a double standard. i'm quite happy that a lot of there's been a lot of criticism in france on these double standards, usually mainstream media don't go too much into that narrative. they would play down, would say opponents to macro and such a situation. and we've heard a lot of concerns. normally saudi arabia is the total opposite of what, what the standards are supposed to be. but all of a sudden, all the standards concerning what the west is supposed to be disappear and people are honoring. well, why are we supposed to be imposing sanctions on russia? because they're not in what's your standards? are we imposing sanctions on other countries in the world because they're not respecting what's in sanction. saudi regular typically doesn't really respect practically any of them. why are we reading them? this means that the what doesn't have any values granted doesn't care about the
2:23 pm
standards all it is interested in the fact that saudi arabia is one of the world's biggest petrol export or band. if there's a deal that can be broken in the following days, week following this, that is reading on energy or on, on, on a weapon within the medical macros. happy and he couldn't care to which political opponent is tortured, killed if a, if you can build a church, if you're attacked or criticized or killed because every political opinion you couldn't carry it rushes top diplomat has reiterated that western sanctions are to blame for blocking exports. of grain from ukraine, sergei lever off says hill, or said rather, he'll take up the issue with his american counterpart during an upcoming phone call . the foreign minister spoke at a summit. the shanghai cooperation organization in touch can't my miracles. it was american sanctions. in the 1st place that prevented the full implementation of the contracts that were signed because of the restrictions on russian vessels they imposed, which prohibited the vessels from entering a number of ports,
