[000:00:00;00] ah, a horrifying is distorting. see a many people to a store a is coming from don't balance for at least 13 people, including 2 children are killed in monthly voluntary shelling by ukrainian forces. they've gone yet. according to local authorities, we hear from residents that getting in the shell flew right over my head right here . the only thing that saved me was that i'd stepped out flipping the narrative with the media. now they brought even with show signs of told chip i'm russian soldier.

that's the earliest thing. there's absolutely no evidence to support such a theory and is ready for his wait several palestinian human rights groups and feel off the front door. so i think terrorism allegations, without providing any evidence, we've heard from a representative of one of those organizations who say that it's well, most of silence them for doing what we are doing. everybody and other organizations have committed a few communications to the international court to providing evidence on crimes that have been going with a very welcome to 2 and 7 pm here in the russian capital a r t international. with the latest world news update. 13 people have been killed at least 8 others wounded in the latest ukrainian artillery attack on the city of don. yes, that's according to

a statement by the man. a warning for you. you might find some of the following images upsetting the shelling, targeted crowded areas in the city center. this voted shows the aftermath of an artillery strike on a busy central square where civilians including 2 children, were killed while they were stepping out of shops and even waiting for a bus. we blow down the images of the human cost of this latest horrifying attack. tanya, school thirties are still working to determine the complete number of casualties. as you can see, several buildings and public infrastructure were damaged. local military officers have been inspecting the scene to determine the weapon which caused the deadly blast. some of the local residents who survived the attack, spoke of the old deal with the attack, came in 3 waves. you fast shall landed behind that building of a where the bank is. we do not know where the 2nd one ended, the sad one fell right here. there's a bus stop here, a cafe,

a market. this is the center of our neighbourhood. no one uses cars here. it's a pedestrian area or if you don't among the go away. but only the shell flew right over my head right here. so the only thing that saved me was that i stepped out what they're doing is horrible. you try to survive the boat, it's just impossible. i left for russia, but now look, i've come back. okay, so what i see you didn't was i t corresponded to maxime altura was in the area covering the aftermath of a previous attack. when he heard about the incoming shelling and rushed to the sea, he brought as this report of 3. 0 that he of genetic has once again been shelled. the central bock who commissar street has been hit, leaving at least 13 people dead. it's a horrifying and disturbing scene. many people were killed near store. they were just customers or passers by. while we were documenting ukrainian showing of

another part of the city this latest attack occurred, we went to the guns people's republic was also targeted in an overnight had tacos authority, say, the city of stocking of was hit by 5. nato taught time was rock is a cultural center and a school would destroyed no casualties. have yet been reported. a civil chamber of the against people's republic is called for an immediate vote on whether the republic should become a part of russia, a chain to say such a move would facilitate reconstruction and further development in the republic as well as ensure protection from ukrainian forces. no ganske official say the confident that the republic residents will vote in favor as many of hope to join russia since the dawn bass conflicts broke out a p. as a good political analysts. dimitry, bob, it's safe that people have lucas complete, the actual guarantees, safety and stability, except that it will be a part of the russian territory. and it will give us all the support that all the

russians have. it will cover the protection of russian media, 3 legal protection. it will be defended by all the might or the russian state. and basically this is what people really want. they want protection they want hearing that they will not be get will back to you. or as you know, that means what's principal that he of behaves the conditions that will become a part of your grade again. well, the key of did love to hear the conditions continue to kill people that so now they're patient as wrong, and they want to become a part of russia. that's true. only one narrative, that's almost good. with slammed western attempts to accuse russia of mass killings in the city of elysium as the establishment media try the same tactics a use winning covering the control with the future. to to just tonight is to butcher is the same scenario is move. everything is unfolded according to one

scenario. so ally will of course be defending the truth in the story. early arthur correspondent mcgriff a notion that took me through the details of the events and as you stories developing very fast and leaps and bounds with accusations actually coming before adams on sunday, the foreign minister of the czech republic, the currently holds the presidency of the you council called for a specialist to national tribunal to investigate what had happened in his room, but actually before even the probe he actually called for started the minister claimed that the russians left behind mass graves off, hundreds of short, unfortunate people. so you can see claims without any of the evidence with no grounds and before any official investigation. western media coverage is also remarkable. as soon as the christians took the city back had, as you remember, human hike of region had been on the russian control since praying. western journalists of course started flawed in

a to see with their own eyes. what's going on on the ground and on thursday, an advisor to the quint interior ministry told the b. c that around $1000.00 dead buddies happened discovered in his room. interesting though, is that the telegraph journalists were there at the same time on thursday, and they later published article, saying that they didn't see any evidence to that. the telegraph did not see any evidence of that scale of death during a visit on thursday priori denied knowledge of any war crimes. we didn't interact with them and they didn't interact with us. he said of the russians from what i know there wasn't detentions, executions, torture. so you just heard not only the didn't see where their own eyes, but they talked to local residents who actually were leaving there on the russians . and they said that nothing that had happened, but still we hear about accusations and mass brazen war crimes. what is strange and actually said that in less than

a day after that the tag are suddenly changed. a tonality that's after the authorities and he had started talking about 2nd boot to happened in his room. and ever since they started using the word torture while covering the events in him, and that sudden change is at least suspicious, you would agree. well, i understand that kev says they have evidence of a mass graveyard. is that not correct? well, 1st of all, the use of the term mass graves is completely wrong. the pictures that so far has been published by you creating the western media show, actually, and make chief cemetery in a forest, not a pile of dad, but isn't a beach. this is the picture that comes to mind when we hear about mass race. there are crosses there and names on it and days of people's das. there. the question is, who is buried their russians to the city and of march, beginning of april and for the next 5 months. key of, of course, has been trying to take it back militarily, and here is

a local resident asking the same question who is buried there? and i have to tell you that of course, all videos coming from the ground from isn't particularly very hard to be verified . who has been shilling my home for the past 5 months. i couldn't even go out into my yard who has been doing this. that's the question, and who shall the market? i want to know who's been shutting my home. we should have looked to the sky to see who it was. we do not know exactly when these graves appeared, but if key was talking about fresh graves and we know that russians have been there in a zoom in the last 5 months, that could be the russians had been burying ukrainian soldiers. and this could be true that sounds like latrete because we know that there is the sad part and that t of did not take actually care of you credit soldiers killed in action. but anyway, it is nothing to do with mass graves we hear about in the mainstream, and also the rival greys with date of death before russians took control of the

town. and you cannot use it to a few russians actually, that's absurd. but it's not the 1st time that moscow russian forces have been accused of such atrocity that this nature beaches springs to mind. yeah, so to say that to quintinella ations of russian crimes have been disproven in the past. maybe you remember there was a huge candle when the cran in human rights ombudsman was actually fired. denise of a, her name was off to it had been revealed that her claims of mess, sexual violence, allegedly, at the hands of russian military were a fake. and this is not my words. this is in the words of the ministers in key of the incompressible concentration of the most media of work and numerous details of sexual crimes committed in the unnatural way which he could not confirm with evidence only hom ukraine. and later no. the niece of even confessed that she did

that to boost weapon supplies to kids. so maybe now when ukraine one small weapons, they are trying to use the same tact as they used before. a big loser in the ukraine conflict. the european union, not according to the former greek prime minister and opposition leader alexis, the prophecy, points out that neither russia nor the us has suffered any significant economic impact. the u. s. is not losing neither economically nor geo. strategically. economically, russia is not losing either. the ruble has become one of the strongest currencies. it is europe that is in a vortex. and in my opinion, there is a clear lack of leadership vision strategy. while the former prime minister emphasized his solidarity with ukraine, he said brussels needs to reevaluate it measures against russia. so the ear was not quote, shooting itself in the foods. his claims that code of sentiment recently expressed by the speak of hungary national parliament. he said that amid the conflict, the

e u has been acting against this most basic economic interests. less close live to greek diplomatically, just because on top of that you previously served in the countries permanent representation to the u. thank you for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you. and now what do you think of this comment by surprise that the a who is being a loser. i'm at the ukraine conflicts in comparison with the us and russia. is that becoming a common sentiment within the you to think? well, i mean it's the, it's about the only thing that i would agree with with, with, with, meets with mr. cheaper. so what he sent in the interview in the southern eking and i totally agree with him, that the, the big loser in this, in this conflict is, is europe, the european union and its people. because it is we, the people are going to suffer all either ship that exist a day in, into europe in union and,

and this so called leadership is adopting stupid measures that, that post to the guy that goes contrary to the interest of, of, by europe. because we are big now with the energy prices and with all the other negative things that are happening to so european people that was paying for the stupidity. oh, the leaders now the and i have said in very many interviews here, the said the only way to solve energy crisis in europe would be who, who, her sanctions and start discussions, political discussions between the west and russia in order to solve this problem. and that would that help. busy but it will be, it will help humanity also and take us away from, from the danger of having

a nuclear holocaust. now we've, we've already seen a lot to protest against the searching energy prices in europe and even against nato involvement in many countries recently. do you think he does have been adequately addressing these concerns of the people, though not at all? not at all. i mean they, they have been totally indifferent to the concerns of the people. but i think that so governments are going to pay for that because i think that in the near future, which will have very rainy changes of coverage starting from italy and, and other countries of will have elections or maybe not election. so open this up and it's, it's not the i particularly a where the germans are already to have started reacting in

a very strong way. the u. s. as been ramping up its natural gas exposed to your countries in recent months. because of course, the western sanctions constrict supplies coming from russia. is it possible that the u. s. has been profiting from the conflicts? well, i think so. i mean, they have been profiting from the sales over were, or from the, from the weapon sales that are going to, to ukraine. because these weapons are purchased by the, by the u. s. government. and the, and the companies that are making these are, these weapons are making lots of money out of the store. so that's when it, where, where, where the profit is the energy sector. i don't think that their profit the yet. but i think in the near future there were b and meanwhile, ukraine's president landscaping calling almost in policy supply more and more weapons. some countries such as jeremy, for example, they pay a little bit hesitant about sending its most modern equipment. is there

a risk that these on supplies could further escalate the conflict? yes, of course. and, and you mentioned germany now as the germans are doing a very, it tricky issue. i mean they, they want greece to transfer some of the old east german thanks that we have basically on the islands. and they would send you, they would send in new tanks to replace them. the issue that the greek government has raised is that 1st the new tanks arrive and then we wish, within the greek government would send the old tanks to germany to be sent to the ukraine. because we don't want those islands to be without arguments. not even for, for one minute. taking into consideration that the threats that turkey or turkey is, is putting against these islands. do you think there are any

strong voices within the e u, they could push ukraine towards negotiating for an end to the conflicts? well, i don't think that i think that if, if there is any, any go, she ation, it should be a negotiation between the west and russia. and after we reach and in print and an agreement in principle, there then involved ukraine. but if you put ukraine and russia to solve the issue, i think that ukraine will, it will have an intransitive position, and nothing will come out of it. that's why i believe that. so the initial discussion should be taken between the western countries and russia and then put ukraine in it if we want to have a positive result. and i think that the german chancellor made such a proposal in the last conversation he had with the president putting

many thanks for speaking to us day. we really appreciate your time in your in slightly, anita croissant populous greek diplomat. thank you. thank you very much. you are a secretary of state and me blinking it to me with the top diplomat of armenia and the azerbaijan in efforts he resolved tensions following deadly border clashes between those 2 former soviet republics, which has recently you as how speak in nancy pelosi visited armenia and a show of support and pinker blame directly on azerbaijan. she also said armenians felt let down by the response of the russian lead c s t o security alliance. we should be using our influence, our leverage showing that arminian democracy and sovereignty is a priority. it is interesting that they were disappointed that they got fact finders them no protection or from that relationship and we'll see

what happens. we'll see what happens next. let's go live to our se correspondent caleb. more pin. now caleb, good to see you. now what does pelosi so of support for our menia mean for that country and the region in general? sure. well, once again, we have the united states meddling in the affairs of countries that are quite far away on the other side of the planet. now surprised there. now what's particularly interesting about nancy pelosi and her recent trip is that, as you heard, i mean it does come in the context of these border disputes that have gotten deadly, et cetera. ah, and she managed to anger all sy, in the dispute during her trip. i appears 1st of all, we got russia that is not happy that there were not any concrete steps that came out of this. no clear plan to end the townships. in addition to that, while nancy pelosi was there in, in the aftermath of her trip, we saw protests against the collective security treaty organizations that echoed

nancy below his words and even waved us flags. and let's be clear that nancy pelosi went out of her way to blame azerbaijan, an ally of turkey for the entire situation. now, bach, who responded the statement made by the speaker of the u. s. house of representatives, nancy pelosi, which distorts the situation in the region, is deeply regretable. considering that the period of meets her, him elections, to the u. s. congress. he's approaching it since that then suppose he's using this visit for her domestic political agenda and to gain the support of their immediate lobby circles in the u. s. it is unacceptable to trust for political intrigues and levine interests from the u. s. domestic political agenda to the selves, caucasus region, voyer armenia. now many are drawing parallels to nancy below these recent trip to taiwan that almost resulted in an all out military standoff between china and

taiwan. it seemed like nancy pelosi went there for the purpose of intensifying disagreements and disputes. and that may have been the result of her recent trip. but these like policy, united states would go around the world, escalating tension, causing problems, causing intensification of disagreements and then sitting back and watching the result. many are not pleased with nancy below these action. the things like the result of her recent trip or not exactly good for the world, but we still have to see further reaction from the united states as well as from other countries. keller, many things for that update. and i think correspondence caleb more finance speaking to his life from new york. so moving on is ready for things have been raiding palestinian human rights groups that they've accused of supporting terrorism without providing any evidence based surveillance, camera video shows its radio thought. he's breaking down the door of a write scripts office with some of the service men, even taking cell phase and photos together with best phones. that they took

a sheets of metal and sealed off the front door, issuing an order to forbid anyone from entering or several palestinian schools have experience. similar raids with the doors field shirts is well has accused them of involvement and the attacks by palestinian forces while they say that most likely being cognitive because they've been documenting alleged abuses by israeli soldiers . we heard from a local legal center this say the right literally trample upon palestinians fundamental rife this attack on palestinian civil society as an attack on the entire palestinian people and their right to self determination. these organisations were and are not given any opportunity to defend themselves against secret evidence that the israeli security forces allegedly hold against them. we have from crossing a lion, he's a legal research on project manager at our hawk, one of the white groups that was rated. he says that as well as trying to silence these organizations and ends their activities,

they are trading our organizations simply because they want to silence us. they want us to stop doing what we are doing, especially available of the international criminal court. everybody knows that i'll hoc and other organizations have submitted a few communications to the international court. it providing evidence on crimes that have been committed in the cooper palestinian territory. they do not want anybody to say anything to them. they want to continue committing their crimes without any kind of accountability. anybody who dares to do this is classified as a terrorist and gets their offices rated and sometimes receive even death threats. they wanted to send the message of disrespect to the organization and the work that it is doing. they distributed some of the business cards on each other. they took senses in

a sign that shows them not respecting the work that we are doing and shows the guns that they are enjoying. that's the state that is considering itself above below. and that is the normal reaction and that's the normal behavior of their soldiers. it's not that they act as such in and human rights organization even sometimes they bit each other is to killer palestinian who can shoot him and who. a can kill him, and after the killing, they just appear to be very happy when they kill him or her. it's a state that is very elegant, that acts as if it is above the law. and they believe that nobody is going to hold them accountable. and as long as they are not held accountable by the international community, we believe that they will continue to act like this. a high ranking e politician has suggested that turkey should face sanctions if it joins

a china lead economic alliance. the san car cooperation organization. the german m p, a nato on the e. you must keep a close eye on turkey's president, early one, nato and the european union must ask themselves how long they will let air dawn dance around on their noses. nato member turkey is doing more to circumvent european sanctions on russia than china. air dough on puts the brakes on finland in sweet and joining nato. and now he wants to join the s t o together with iran. this time for a robust turkey policy. with her, he is currently considered a dialogue partner in that organization along with other countries such as saudi arabia and counter european politicians have said turkey. nato state has been leaning away from west and influencing recent years as it builds ties with the ease . let's discuss this further now with use of era be added to a lot of turkish broadcast. the t r t. well, many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you. now we have a senior, you politician here, thing turkey should say,

sinuses if it joins the china lead s c o, why is that? it's laughable. and i asked the same question, why is that? why do you need to get permission to partake in multilateral diplomacy or improve relations with countries that the you find uncomfortable? turkey has no such responsibility. groat, no sex responsibility to the un. it can, can you develop its relations not only with traditional nato allies, but also develop relations with eastern powers. the world is very quickly transforming into a multi polar society. and it needs to include proven relations with countries like china. russia to span is going to continue to do this because it's in its own best interest. do you think that hearing such was flying back from the e? you could actually push turkey to locate what strength is. ties?

i definitely think so because when we look at the actions are taken by the taken by the united states at any time they try to restrict turkish diplomacy. risk, restrict, turkish foreign policy, restrict turkish weapons procurements. it backfired on the west side. on the u. s. it backfired on the you and continued down to dependent that so i don't see any difference with this going. i'm, it seems that turkey is interested in taking part in the shanghai cooperation organization from the reports that we're seeing, that it could be a possible application for a membership in the future. and when you look at the circus present, the participation at the summit, it was a very fruitful multiple, bilateral meeting with who did. she's being paid, moody. sherry raised the mir your yet. so the circus president met with many leaders, had a very good time. and it seems that many of the leaders, they're welcome presidents, as well,

from the photos that were being very happy expressions. very cordial diplomacy, cordial dialogue between everyone. yeah, i mean, if taking did during the se, i would that mean that turkey is turning away from the west or could it just keep tie them both areas or are they mutually exclusive? i think it's turkey joins the s t o. i think it means that he's fully embracing the reality of multiple world. it's saying that i have one foot in the east one foot in the west just like every country should have. every country should have good relations with both sides. not just east or west. it shouldn't be block. i think the way you moving forward is it is by nearing the multiple there and many presidents that especially western leaders that criticize are the one i think in the next 5 to 10 years will begin to emulate is diplomacy. so i think he's just ahead of the back right now when it comes to western countries, and i want to repeat one of the comments that you made. i think it's

a very good timing to symbolize what's going on right now. he says that we're entering a century where the sun remembers that it's right. and i think there's a very common and we're going to see that more and more in the future. as an organization represents 40 percent of the world's population, 30 percent of the global g d p. how can you turn your back on a group this powerful? there's been some accusations in the west at turkeys moving away from nato's course . that does not mean that all nato member states must stick to one policy. i always thought about that. when we look at nato, when we look at nato's mandate, it had it original mandate. turkey stuck to that mandate. it's protected the trans atlantic align when we looked at the conflict in ukraine. it is the price supply support the ukraine via it's drones. it has close the target, straight to traffic both ways to everybody, not just the russia,

but to everybody. so it has had a balance foreign policy with that aspect, it had held true to its responsibilities, the native by protecting the transatlantic alliance. now protecting the trans atlantic. align, does not me making enemies of eastern country to take and protect the transatlantic alliance and interest without the enemy, the eastern powers and i think is bound a very, very realistic way to do that going forward. so this whole concept, an idea of everything is black and white, or my editor must be your editor to be for you to be my ally. this is very old thinking, this is our take were the year 2022. there is no room for that type of thinking at countries needs to have divers foreign policy portfolios. great speaking to you today you. so if ever the editor at large dev turkish board concert fiarty will many thanks for your time. and thanks to you for joining us here on arte

international will be back at the top of the hour with the very latest see them the
