is to look for common ground a . these are the kind of show fragments that we found here. there is a city lane, chatsworth, california usa, our correspondence finds what appears to be part of western supply and munition in a city were local authorities. a boarding school and bus station were shelled by ukrainian forces archie when the legal battle against school as a russian court rules. the u. s. tech giant must 1st for access to the network to block you tube channels. moscow and fis nuclear conflict is unacceptable. i'm in western media hysteria over russia's potential use of atomic weapons. we

discussed the issue with our gas. they always have to have a good man. they always have to have an existential thread. it's clear to me that this is hyped up rhetoric. russia has always been a very responsible because united states that walked out of a wave of protest case bertina fossil capital with demonstrators accusing a west african block mission, visiting the country of serving french interest with from moscow to the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this hour. we begin the hour with the latest from the ground and the russia ukraine conflict. air alert sirens have been heard in the city of no via hope. and the hearse on region. local authorities say 3 explosions

were heard with 15 more reported earlier in the night. and the same region when it and fis ukrainian troops were killed in russian air strikes with dozens of pieces of military hardware, also destroyed vats, according to the russian defense ministry, which also reported another strike on ukrainian physicians in the north of the done esque republic with more than a 100 ukrainian troops killed don esque authorities, se kias forces shall the city of ducal chavez, using western supplied munitions, including high mars, raucous artes roman, closer up reports from the theme. ah ukrainian nationalist for says at zach this city of thirds, i could shyest very early in the morning. at least 5155 millimeter shells, landed at this insert city bus station. thankfully it was closed at that time. that

means there were no people around here. if that sac happened a bit later, that could have been many, many victims, talked to something new. you people depart from this bus station heading towards danielle score, one of our ha, the schedule here is tight. a bus to parts almost every hour and usually there are lots of people. what if it had happened during the rush hour? there would have been victims slushy. it's horrible dizzying as it's sent. a lot of these are the kind of a shell fragments that we found a here. and i actually found at sag away from here and clearly it's marked in english and there's a q r code. there is a city named chatsworth, california, you as say, now local authorities are saying that this city was at sack, by nato made shells. this city is not that far

away from the front line at least 15 to 20 kilometers. however, this place where we are, there are absolutely no military positions. there's a boarding school right over there. the europe with us time, a school employee and our school has also been damaged with the windows having been shattered. we arrive there early in the morning. thank god, nobody suffered though we shall precisely, with no restraint. if not for the 1st time melia to buildings an electrical plump was shelled. that's as i wanted to get a job that there are no military facilities over that hospital. this can only mean that training nationalists continue to terrorize civilians continue to spread panic among the local population. over the last 24 hour period, at least 2 people were injured. boy, ukrainian, shelly romano,

cauthrin archie, done as people's republic to the neighboring zapora. she region where the director general of the nuclear power plant there has been detained and deported to ukrainian home territory for alleged links to key of security forces. he then admitted sending information to ukraine and video footage, which was broadcast on russian television for something with his blue i was in touch with the security service of ukraine agent on whatsapp. i gave him information about the situation at the plant. the damage to the plant could lead to an emergency. the showing most likely came from the ukrainian side. the personnel were and still are in danger while restoring the plant after the showing the a confirm, the former director is now in ukraine controlled territory. it comes as the director general of the agency is set to visit both kiev and moscow to discuss the situation at the plant. the facility is controlled by russia and has come under repeated shelling with mosque out blaming the ukrainian army for the attacks. kiev

denies the allegations and claims it is russia that is targeting the plant, political analysts. alessandra bruno thinks that the plan security is russia's primary concern. the only interest the russians would have is in making sure that no one sabotage is the facility and then to blame the russians. i think that would be my 1st concern, and i think that is the, the main russian concern. i think that the, the russian troops to the russian people in charge would not have allowed the detainment to proceed without some kind of guarantee that were so that there was sufficient staff in the plant to oversee the security. russians have been very careful to avoid any accidents and they would not have

taken this action without some kind of safety considerations. and so if they did so, that means the plant was left in secure, have an arbitration court. and moscow has ruled in favor of a claim large by r t, against google to restore access to $27.00, i was channels currently walk on youtube. the head of our legal team gave us an account of the case which she dabbed a nick victory. why would i to listen if we went to court since our t channels on youtube had been blocked? we were convinced that the band violated our rights for the freedom of distributing information. not only the ones we have as a media outlet, but also citizens and a legal entity. such rights are granted by the russian constitution. we had previously signed an agreement with google on placing our content on their platform . so we were supposed to distribute the content without any obstacles. we didn't

violate any of the youtube rules, but still our channels got banned. naturally, we as a media outlet emphasized the fact that the ban as we see it was a censorship move against our coverage. our point of view, particularly when it came to the ukraine crisis, the timing of the band coincided with the escalation. i view this as a unique case since we are the 1st to have one in court among the media that got their channels banned for censorship. reasons, we see it as a precedent and hope this will help our colleagues and us to provide information without any more censorship on google side. it is a vital decision and a very important precedent, not only for the practice of russian law, but also for the practice of international law. it's absolutely a big win for our it's he because of, for example, according to the verdict, google has to unblock all 27 channels belonging to archie or face of 5. and that find amounts to a $100000.00 roubles per day. and if it doesn't do that,

then that amount increases every week, so it doubles per day and every week that will increase. and but of course they have 30 days to appeal as with any case. so we will see if they do that. but this isn't the 1st time this all sorted back in march, basically after rushes, special military operation in ukraine and you to blocked several channels belonging to russian accounts. and the reason that i did that, of course, was because i was trying to minimize the voices coming from within russia. anything to do with the russian angle or why it, what's happening and what was happening. exactly. so you to bid in one that's viewers to hear that side of the story, something that we've seen before. so of course it blocked it and then we had about $15.00 to $20.00 russian media organizations that filed the lawsuit. and a one of them, the 1st one being a god and that actually in march that channel wanda lawsuit and google was ordered

to pay 1000000000 roubles in compensation. so it's happened before it's happening again. so no doubt we will see it happening again in the future. so whenever they hear something that doesn't suit their narrative, they start blocking it. and they all they have to say is that doesn't fit within our community guidelines, or you're spreading misinformation. they don't even have to explain themselves. and like i said, in the case of rasa, we even had entertainment channels blog, which they don't mention politics or anything of that kind. initiating a nuclear war is unacceptable. that's the message from russia's foreign ministry. it comes amid increasing alarm in the western media over what they fear is an atomic weapons dr. posed by moscow with some reports, claiming that russia is preparing some sort of nuclear readiness test. amid the conflict and ukraine, comparisons to the cuban missile crisis have even been made. the consensus in

washington is that we are closer to the use of nuclear weapons than at any time since the cuban missile crisis 60 years ago. and over what, over, who governs and rules? not even ukraine, but the don bass. over the past weeks, there been a number of warnings coming from the us, including from the current and former directors of the cia who accused moscow of reckless rhetoric when it comes to the use of nuclear arms, while claiming nato will respond accordingly. us national security advisor james sullivan, warner, the russia would face catastrophic consequences. the kremlin spokesman said earlier that russia wouldn't take any part in the current nuclear rhetoric being pushed by western countries. by president pohden accused the states of nuclear black mal adding. he wasn't bluffing a lot of possible nuclear response if russian territory, including the newly incorporated regions, is threatened. my colleague,

worry serious shape, discuss the west narrative over the nuclear threat with a panel of guest. this is part of a campaign propaganda campaign to smear russia. all of these experts in the western governments which are fueling ukraine with finance, with, with weapons, with all of this is since 2014, not since the beginning of the year since 2014 knew that russia was a nuclear power. they knew that if they were going to start a war ended on best next to a nuclear power, there would be risks one day that be kinda wake up this nuclear power, which is russia. i think this is again, part of the western scare mongering campaign where everything coming out of russia has to be. despair has to be threats. has to be scary to some extent. how relevant michael, other comparisons right now, being made that of the cuban missile crisis of $962.00 when it comes to the, the current tension around ukraine. i mean, are there real grounds for fear,

or is it just part of the record? no i, it's clear to me that this is hyped of rhetoric. it's looking for ways to incite more support around the ukraine. and, and i think that trying to have scare tactics of this nature with nuclear weapons coming emanating from the west and not from and not from russia. i think moscow strategy is, is not going to be trying to launch a tactical nuclear weapons. there's no need, i think what the, what russia will do is hold the areas that it has that and, and in fact, that have voted to join the federation and maintain them. we've certainly be hearing from, from the white house. they've been saying that there's been all sorts of back channel messages going between the white house and the cabinet. the white house warning, the cabinet, you must not use nukes, and there will be di, catastrophic consequences from washington. if you do a kind of, well over to you,

the russian president has earlier stressed that russia would use all means available if was any threat to its territory. so any talk of nuclear arms use, it essentially is in the terms of defense at this point. but the west apparently is not convinced by russia has this nuclear doctrine, which we know what other u. s. what does france sauce china? so does it cost you? nothing new? i think when president waldron said he's not bluffing for president biden felt that it was embedded due on the spot to use equally strong language. and therefore he won a strong consequences about this is a negative lead. natasha is not going to use them. as i said, rush, i have all of innovative responsible all with autism meeting in any effort at the u. haul one call stop one,

stop. it is united states and walk out of the a, b i. and that would be open skies and russia always fear that just is worth developing a post like realty. russia has not a back to any united states or any european country. that is a community operation looking. but how are you grand? is it a defensive war? or a guy doesn't make any sense, given the c, i director the u. s. defense secretary they, they've actually admitted there's no evidence of an imminent nuclear threat. busy from moscow to ukraine, but what we're noticing is, is that the news articles, the press agencies, they, they don't report that they report fear, fear a nuclear again. why is that the case for several reasons. first of all, this is the way the u. s. is always a waged, it's war is they always have to have a bogeyman and they always have to have an existential threat. they always have to have something which is going to destroy the earth or destroy the order. this is a weapon of mass distraction. we're,

we're making people in the west believe that in russia there is some sort of crazy tire, wants to eat up to create a destroy the rest of the world. if julius were to say, you know, there's not really true, then his job would be a risk with this is extremely important that really on this, do the job be courageous enough. go out there and spread the truth because at the end we just want peace. the arrival of a fact finding mission of west african envoys to perkin of fossa has sparked fiery protest in its capital with people pouring to the streets to voice their frustration with a block, as well as its former colonial power france. that's following this 2nd qu, in the african state in just 10 months. the eco us delegation scheduled the visit as 3 of its 15 member states have seen cruise in the last for years. the officials intended to protect suppose a time table for restoring civilian rural grand notes,

who opposed their approach with sanctions. one of the main concerns voice by the people in burkina faso is the delegations alleged support of french interest, which they strongly oppose. burkina faso residence came out to protest against the union's visit to similar plans. gonna fit it. i said, oh, we're here to send strong messages to call us that they should know that actually and a decision they will be making here in yoga should include the populations. will we are, matt, we're tired of this head of states union, the corrupted union of presidents, slaves of western countries, who do not care about their people for whom, directing the golden rule. in a concert, we do not agree with echo wash, or message to echo was that they should help us fight terrorism. but what does echo us do to help my appeal to the new authorities is to stay strong and unified. earlier group of soldiers ousted president paul henry to me by and dissolved his

military government, saying it was incapable of restoring clarity in the country. one of the reasons for the uprising is said to be widespread disdain of the country's cooperation with france, security analysts, no money, no boot says that the people of burkina faso don't want to be dictated by france. akina fast residents protested against the arrival of the eco us delegation, but also wanted to tell the co us that if you come here, you need to let the people of the country decide for themselves and not follow french policy. that's what's happening now. everything will depend on the decision of a co us. it seems to people that the french are behind many events and that they are playing dishonesty. this is not exactly an anti french feeling, but rather of feeling directed against the french policy. the policy of its leadership. people believes that they have a knowledge contingent of the balcony mission in the soho, where the attacks are taking place. that whole people have

a feeling that the french are accomplices. people have pro russian feelings because they look at molly and they think that russia has given a loss of support to the margins, especially in terms of weapons intelligence, which the margins have been able to reduce, not to stop, but to reduce the number of attacks. when it became a facet, things are very different. this is why people began to think that russia could also be a partner and help the people who became a fossil violent clashes between protesters and police forces had broken out and haiti as the country's economic and political instability plunges deeper into chaos. tear gas has been fired to disperse the crowds, while gunshots have been heard in the capital of port a prince. ah, at least one person is reported to have been wounded during the clashes. haitians have been burning tires marching in the streets and chant a anti government slogans. citizens are protesting against the high cost of living,

which of already driven many hunger and poverty. people are also calling for the resignation of haiti's prime minister investigations into the north stream. pipelines damage are being hindered by danish and swedish restrictions. according to its operator, the delays come after a powerful underwater explosions last week with both european and russian authorities hinting at possible sabotage. no extreme ag is unable to inspect the damage sections of the gas pipeline due to the lack of previously requested necessary permits coating to the swedish authorities. a band on shipping, anchoring diving using of unable to vehicles. geophysical mapping has been introduced to conduct a state investigation around the damage sykes in the baltic sea. the operator also says that a vessel which has the necessary equipment for the survey cannot start work because

of restrictions imposed by norway. pressure in the affected lines is set to have stabilized. meanwhile, sweden has sent a diving vessel to the site to prove the incident that has exacerbated europe's energy crisis. 3 separate leaks were recorded off the coast of denmark and sweden, a few dozen kilometers apart. the pipelines which were full of gas are said to be unusable due to the damage. some western politicians have hinted at u. s. involvement in the north stream pipeline. the former polish foreign minister posted and then deleted at suite, which red thank you, you as say, attributing the alleged sabotaged. but u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin said that his hacking russian pipelines was in no one's interest. while the country has a track record of targeting the energy infrastructure of other countries, one of those was nicaragua,

which faced severe consequences back in the 1980s when us back guerrillas attack the countries oil facilities no no no yes. also curious why sabotaged in under water pipeline at the crude oil receiving terminal and put it on the you know, that handles more than 3 quarters of nicaragua, petroleum impulse. mr. ortega said commandos of terror from the ca succeeded early this morning and damaging the oil pipeline in port o sandino radio host, kerry harrison says, and it's hard to separate the us entirely from the north stream pipelines damage. i

would like to think that the swedes are actually quite interested in finding out this problem since they are on the bad end of not getting things like heat in the winter or whatever they can do to figure out a fix. even if it's an official excuse through nato saying, well we believe it's this or that case closed, let's move on. they'll come up with some resolution. we just look at the facts. we do recall that under secretary of state, victoria newland did say back in january and february including president biden, that if the russians were to invade ukraine than in fact there would be no more nord stream to. and now as of today, there is no more nor stream to was this pre cognition was this wishful thinking. it's turned into a reality. so it's hard to separate the united states entirely. ah,

violent clashes between protesters and police have erupted in the ugandan capital of campbell as a dozens gathered to demonstrate against the development of a new pipeline, an oil extraction project in the country. construction of the east african crude oil pipeline is being led by french company total energies, along with the china and national offshore or o'clock corporation and national petroleum firms of uganda. intent zenia people gathered in front of the office in the capital, delivering a petition opposing construction of the pipeline, accusing the ugandan government and seizing land belonging to locals, which they say will displace tens of thousands of people. at least 9 demonstrators were detained by police. according to report, here is the footage from the scene. i .

i think these are the companies that are constructing good by play. they do not issue whether you've got them that are going to be affected by that type like we are here today, but just to petition would have been sick and we have been blocked by you got up what is a the european parliament says the construction of the pipeline violates human rights and passed a resolution calling for it to be delayed by a year to consider alternative routes. but the ugandan minister of energy opposes the physician. arguing the project can address poverty and other social issues, branding the resolution and act of neo colonialism and in realism against uganda.

ah, false information on social media is contributing to the spread of threats and harassment . that's according to the american medical association, which called on the u. s. attorney general to prosecute those responsible for threats against hospitals providing gender affirming care to transgender youth parties. caleb martin has more. we have the american medical association writing this letter to the u. s. department of justice and the latter. they are calling for big tech 2 sensor voices that are critical of the transgender reassign surgeries from minors. and they are calling for the prosecution of those to promote these criticisms online as well. basically, their argument is that the recent bomb attacks on children's hospitals are the result of dis, information on the internet. and that legal action needs to be taken to shut down voices that good lead people to the conclusion that such terrorist activities are

necessary. ready what they said in their letter, these coordinated attacks threaten federally protection rights to health care for patients and their families. the attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign for disinformation, where a few high profile users on social media share false and misleading information, targeting individual physicians and hospitals resulting in a rapid escalation of threats, harassment, and disruption of care across multiple jurisdictions. our organizations have called on technology companies to do more to prevent this practice on digital platforms. and we now urge your office to take swift action to investigate and prosecute all organizations, individuals, and entities responsible. well, obviously no one approves of bomb attacks or targeting hinder visuals, but this is a very contentious issue and many are looking at the slippery slope here to shutting down. freedom of speech, people are wondering if this is

a slippery slope toward the department of justice being utilized as a partisan political vehicle for one side of sensitive cultural issues. here some of the reaction absolute insanity than merican medical cessation has lost all credibility. the absolute evidence that the american medical association is a weaponized agenda driven entity with 0 science backing. it's decision, it's a disgrace to medicine, medical careers, and professionals, and science in general. i knew 30 years ago the american medical association was headed for some ideologically troubled times. alas, the generation and the home today is dangerously misguided, misleading an wrong. there was a situation that took place last year that many are drawing a parallel with that we saw mobilization of parents by conservatives, go on to their school boards and confronting them about issues of problematic books, inappropriate materials in the classroom, etc. and in response to that,

we saw the department of justice labeling these parents as a potential terroristic threat. the u. s. department of justice and america's attorney general saying that parents to go to school boards and complain about policies might be some kind of domestic terrorist threat people are. that is an example of blatantly partisan use of federal policing and prosecuting agencies mechanisms for enforcing these new ideological restrictions are getting swifter and more harsh. and that seems to be the situation as we see this new letter from the american medical association, wanting to shut down one side of the debate when it comes to the issue of transgender reassignment surgery for minors. and that, that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all of the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah

ah, craig, well, never be a victory for russia. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as amman army comes to the us, you can then in carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're not in europe. engage in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are harris, defend nato allies. nato escalates even more indiscretion. military operations become a war when you, but they'll set of rules that demonstrate that notion is my idea that i see your to us conflicting custody of what i mean with. so i use believe he should unique and you stuff for me to a physical he needs almost them lets you and units.
