of a death, according to unicef. with july, from our studio here in moscow, your watching art international. my name is peter scott. here with all the latest this wednesday lunch time. thanks for joining us. we start off with use from the ukranian capital, where the mayor has said that several explosions have wrought here suburbs and center living area. thousands ringing out across the city. officials said that one administration building had been damaged. meanwhile, over the don basil, these 2 people have been killed after ukrainian artillery launched an early morning blitz on the dungeons for a public official say the key of troops reign. dozens of shells down. many nato supplied on residential areas. similar strikes on the public capital city on tuesday left 3 people dead, and the shelling is reportedly ongoing masters. fist fighting continues to rage across the front lines where russian troops are reportedly making some progress.
5:02 am
ortiz eager donna visited the treacherous terrain in which one such regiments are fighting in the dumbass. ah, getting to russia's frontline positions his to day a challenge in itself. only a fraction of civilian vehicles are capable of winning the struggle against these muddy country roads. you're given from this sport, there's only about 3 kilometers of sludgy to rain and patches of pine trees between russian and ukrainian troops. put a lot upon, you know, it was lou deal as it of course did. one thing that the 2 armies have in common here is having to facilitate their survival, amid mud, under a mutual hail of bombs are p,
5:03 am
jeez hand military optics. they neighbor here with simple stoves like this one. they provide the much needed warm and the hint at comfort, amid the very difficult conditions here, basically, temperatures here they drop into freezing territories regularly into changing with down pose. all of that adds as yet another item on the already very long list of hardships. the most mundane of tasks like keeping close, clean and dry, turn into a gamble with death at the front line. now whatever dangers there were, they have increased by an order of magnitude. the kitchen vehicle changed its route and went to collect the injured from another position after the shelling the roads in trenches or muddy. the weather changes. sometimes it rains and then its freezing . we have to fix them all the time, some fight as he learned the ropes of life and the war zone as they go. crane
5:04 am
soldiers have been shuffled here with those who have been recently mobilized in of all peril and hardship. though few of them regret trading the comfort of civilian life. for this property, our task is to protect the homeland. i packed my things and went to the front line though i could have stayed just like many of us could have, but were there with winter being only into its 1st month, no one here, harbours the illusion. conditions will improve any time soon. it will get worse before it gets better, and whoever adapts best will have the upper hand and combat over the enemy. survival of the fittest has never been more real. amiga done of reporting from the dumbass oxy was the fighting and the don't boss shows no sign of a basing anytime soon. we're going to now discuss the situation with the journalists who spend 6 months covering the conflicts in the area. and can tell us
5:05 am
more on the situation and ukraine and other issues of global importance. but we lived on the studio is johnny miller reporter who works for everybody in press tv and who plans to return to dawn bus to cover the comfort. johnny, thanks so much for joining us. enough snow in moscow. it's wednesday afternoon for 30 to tell us about your, your 1st trip to the dawn bus. what did you expect from what was it lighter? yeah, i mean, one of the reasons i'm reporting from dumbasses is one of the shocking the unreported story. if it's incredibly tense and dangerous, that the moment only of a time to few days ago from the week before from saturday, 20 civilians have been killed. week alone, and the sense of done yet is being shelves by ukrainian forces. and this, the important story to realize is that we are intentionally selling civilians. my apartment have lived in different apartments through my apartment blocks have been hit either directly or shopping markets around the area. i've been the boss stations of bodies in the street use house i use sense was hit the other day with 4
5:06 am
people killed. and it's very difficult to see any military targets in done yet get civilian areas. ukraine is trying to, sometimes they talk to ministration buildings. sometimes they, they often targets infrastructure like energy and structure school, sometimes just random selling. i was in a cathedral 2 days later, the cathedral was hit, and it's important to cover the story. there's a few fantastic, independent journalists doing. i'm sure there's many russian journalists that but people in western countries simply on hearing this story. and the other important story to realize that is that the vast majority of people who don't yet support russia, there are some for ukrainians that but they are there. and that's what such an important story to cover. because if people in the west realize that the vast majority of supports russia in done yet, and ukraine is selling people, there may will be more calls the fees. so why do you think this is so under reported in the western media? johnny? well, i think that's, that's the reason news happens where the journalists are and there's been almost no,
5:07 am
i think there's been no mainstream outlet, some british american companies that i have occasionally been french, german, italian. but any mainstream of what is a little is a lot of fantastic, mainstream, honest reporters working for mainstream channels in western countries. and if any of them were there living under the selling, i think the apartment bombs going to the bus stations with the civilians in the streets that have no choice to report exactly what i've been reporting that the vast majority supports russia. and ukraine is essentially selling civilian, so i think that's why it's not being covered. and what's your goals and names for this next trip to the don bus obviously is coming, you know, as winter is quickly approaching and both sides will be facing, you know, more so for conditions on the ground, what you expect from this next trip, it's difficult to know, i mean, the shelling of civilians and done yet was increased in the last couple of weeks. that's obviously a very important story. then also now you've got what's going on in bottom off the optimal scan in russian. and it looks like the russians on the foot in the bass,
5:08 am
so that's obviously important. developing still a to follow to follow what's going on now. now you're reporting from the don buses . one, did you want to certain notorious websites? the mid 40 it's websites. how did you end up on that? well, i did a story about this websites about them, but until you're on the list, of course i know hundreds of children on this list, putting that phone numbers and home addresses that affected the docs in children. so i did a story about this and in some kind of caf greske nightmare, i was then put on the list that wasn't supplies, to be honest. most journalists that criticized ukrainian government eventually put on the poor, dumb ass, eventually put on that list. and some people call it a hit list may well, but it certainly promotes violence against people whenever a journalist is kill this with an liquidated over the photos. i tell you i can make a very solid arguments. that's a website promoting the violence towards children. bring that home,
5:09 am
addresses them from any violence towards is one of the most serious human rights violations in europe by now. and it's incredible that it's being ignored. and why, again, why is not been ignored, and do you think that he should be condemned by the un and some of ukraine's allies? well, i think you can and government and, and didn't need to have the power to take the less down. but i think what this list is, an example of is the extremist forces in ukraine. of course the, the nazis was over the extremist so dismissed as russian propaganda. italian speaking for mainstream journalist in london recently from a major broadcast, i said some news, or maybe there's a major extremism problem in ukraine. and he agreed. and that's something that they sent for themselves from from opposing, no doubt you kind of extra as she was gone. and that's useful for certain powers because it's the extremist many ukrainians don't want this war with russia. but if the extreme ultra nationalists, who are ideologically driven to fight the russians, and that's why you have this, the acceptance of sites like this and the promoting extremis element. now the, you in the way that they're playing to send
5:10 am
a more anti air defenses to zalinski act upon zelinski request. obviously, billions of dollars of aids has been sent to ukraine during this war. how sustainable do you think it is? and is there a risk of so called ukraine fatigue setting in, in the, in the west as cost of living source? yeah, i mean, one of the reasons i'm hear a pausing is because i don't, i do not believe this was a new opinion interests. and i also believe there is a piece to be, have at the moment in nato countries, the only policy seems to be pump weapons in the hope that russia can be pushed back out of the 4 regions. i don't see that happening. i see increasingly, ukraine has been described as a black hole. all this money is the weapons of getting there. i've been blown up by russia before they get to the front when they get to the front and billions of sellers of taxpayers. money is going towards a war that i don't think ukraine can win in terms of pushing them out of the 4 regions. and that's why inevitably, there will be a piece to be heard that i think more mainstream journalists and figures to speak
5:11 am
up and start questioning whether piece the, whether there is a piece to be heard. and that's why it's important to report from the russian side . the so that in the south and east of our large portion populations as if there is a piece to be had, i think more mainstream people need to stop pushing that idea. and do you think that the west washington, a nato may even say, is the landscape some point like it is time for this to come to an end and for you to, to drop some of your red lines and maybe come back to the negotiating table. i think that's inevitable. i mean, i certainly didn't, this was a new appear and interest, and the certainly is split between the united states and britain and france and germany. and so we'll see, this seems to be many opportunities for peace. i think i've been here 6 months. i keep saying that there is another opportunity. there is another opportunity this winter. and if it's a particularly bad winter in europe, then you might start seeing more faster param, governments to call for peace. but peace will come eventually. it's just a matter of how much more destruction has caused ukraine,
5:12 am
and how many more ukrainian lives will be lost before that piece comes. and you think going to see more on rest. it may be european america as people struggle to heat their homes, pay their bills. obviously the u. k is going to be, am racked by strikes across many different sectors in the upcoming weeks. do you think that that's going to force a change in policy? well, i haven't been back there for some time, but i sort of found on the phone a few days ago and she says she's changing her lifestyle because of the high energy bills. and particularly of course, it's the pool is going to suffer the most. here in moscow, i can't speak to well about moscow, but it seems to me that these sanctions on russia actually hurting you, appear on people more than they are russian people. of course, the sanctions have damage certain elements in russian society. it seems that he's damaging western living standards more than is living standards. so it's still, there is a huge amount of publications on ukraine. and i don't think people are making the link as well as they, they should to. as i said, almost no mainstream figures,
5:13 am
pallets politicians and journalists, a questioning the policy on ukraine. one of the reasons of that is anybody questions say to a cold the fruits and apologists traveling propaganda but sunny. we're going to see more people on the streets because of general economic problems. will stay with the topic of sanctions. and you is recently embed another bunch of sanctions on iran over it's of, of what you've used as the cracked down of the protests as well as iran supply of drones, which it says it's applied to russia before the war. and ukraine. how have sanctions effected iran? well, it has been under sanctions for a long time. i think they've learned how to deal with that. and they find ways to get around that as well. just like in russia, i had an actual products visit. and so people are now in other countries finding ways to get is that what just electrical devices ends of ushers? i'm the radians use the same kind of tactics to get around sanctions where they've
5:14 am
been under section for a long time. so i don't know too much lied about and what more functions can you put on it? no, no. what do you make of the fact that the west have sanctioned the renew of mental government figures over these protests? the run itself is accused that the west of trying to push for is regime change in the country. yeah, i mean, i'm reporting progress to be here and almost every time that i go live a pulitzer and we almost almost almost always asked me when peace negotiations are going to stop. touch tv anyway is certainly pushing for peace. when i'm a journalist, i'm jealous of an angle and just to be pushing for peace in ukraine. and it is clear, i can't speak too much about the protest in about, and i haven't been a but it is also clear on the seems a lot of genuine unrest in iran, but also does seems to be attempts that regime change line. and it is embarrassing, inside the trustee, anyway, pushing for peace in ukraine, where many others are pushing for chaos on. do you see most of globally speaking
5:15 am
a shift in the global power dynamics, maybe even the middle east and russia, obviously following the war ukraine. russia stopped exporting more oils, india to china. russia and iran have very strong ties. now, russia's influence in the middle east talking to saudi arabia. now in the oil, the pay deal seems to be on the top, where you may be refused to boost oil production. when jo biden's visit, you see, so shift in the global power dynamics the moment. yeah, i mean, i was at the front line just outside on. yeah. for a couple of weeks ago, i spoke to a russian volunteer who was fighting with one of the dumbass militias. and i said to him, well, he said to me and many other soldiers that said that they felt that they were fighting in the opening stages of world war 3. and in the snowy wintery wastelands of dumbass, a lot of incoming did feel like it could be the opening state as well to say, i, russian idleness. last night. and he said there's a debates about whether world war 3 started him, syria,
5:16 am
because of all the different countries involved there, or whether it started in ukraine. and there's no doubt, of course we're seeing russia and yvonne yvonne used to call the soviet union the letter states and the american, the great states. and because of the soviets professional religion. now, of course, around russia becoming closer because of this, china and russia, china and yvonne to become inclusive. and he used to be an american strategy of keeping russia and china a pause. but it seems that there is a sort of block, alive and, and, and we could well be moving into that kind of situation. and that's a terrifying for the well to be on. it's certainly, it's certainly is not brings real nicely to, to the, the question of the iranian nuclear deal that seems to ground to a halt of the moments given the states of relations between iran and the west. and these, these never ending sanctions on iran. do you see any chance that that could be revived? well, i think a few months ago there was serious possibility of that deal going through. i think
5:17 am
particularly the you opinions want not deal to go through a lot of investments to be had in yvonne lot of deal seem a lot of money to be made with iran and europe and companies. so there was hope, but i think the americans, well, they play in iran, but i think the americans really scuffled that. and once again, i think if you see a difference of a difference of public policy or saturday between the americans and europeans. right, at the moment it seems that the parents are going along with american strategy, and i don't believe that's in europe and people's in just no, no. how would you assess the current state of ties between russia and iran at the moment of the, of the improved in recent months? i mean, there are some in very similar position in many ways for you as i said, is because the less of faith and so there's certainly improved since then. i spoke to my analyst, the analyst i spoke through last night, said even though he realized when he offended when you
5:18 am
a need and clearly russia has been in need of some things recently unable to suddenly help. so clearly they coasting that ties without doubt. yeah. you roger moscow, a couple of days ago, is this your 1st time in the city of, you know, a few time a few times? yes. okay. i seem pretty. last 10 years. i have a few times. okay. how would you say that moscow has change after the conflicts in ukraine broke out? obviously when it did start, there were a lot of sanctions, almost as the most sanctioned country in the world. many of the west immediate did run pictures of n shelves, and there's been an exodus, a lot of western companies walking the streets of moscow going to the shops. would you say it's changed that much since? well, haven't just go back from dumbass, which is terrifying, to be honest, in the streets of being bombed every day. moscow is like moscow is just calling on life as an, as it is, it's normal, even though there's
5:19 am
a war going on at the edge of the empire, so to speak. and that's the same in london. same balance them in new york where all of these countries are supplying weapons to ukraine and dumbass and as a war going on. but london, moscow, new york seems like a peaceful city. and in terms of it's how it's going. yeah. as i said, i, i don't see any change in terms of the wealth of the people. hey, i know a lot of people have left and some people particularly dealt with trade with the west have been i have a very annoyed about the sanctions, but generally seems is the same kind of city. and it was before. okay, well obviously then going back back to iran again, would you say the u. s. lead sanctions have affected iran and what's change they had on the country? so the position in the world, your mind if you were to walk in the streets or around now home, also of a practical impact. so they had what i've never been on. i struggle to answer that question, but i said these sanctions have been on for a long time. but when i hear that the sanctions are doing a lot of damage specifically to ordinary people and not so sanctions usually do the
5:20 am
sanctions now and russia, they seem to be damaging european people's sol spending power rather than the government and the same with iran. i think it has really damaged medicine. for example, i think it has cost many lives, but the really government seems to be succeeding in keeping its people happy enough anyway. well, johnny miller working for iran's press t v and soon returning to don busby. it's been a pleasure to have you in the studio and we hope you'll come and join us again after your trip and wish you safe, safe traveling reports and thanks very much. thank you. thank you. an organization founded to protect the rights of journalists worldwide. hud refuse to support russian media outlets and individuals the mid reports of leaving you sanctions. when asked by r t if it would support russian reporters the committee to protect journalists that
5:21 am
it does not view them as a bias, therefore would do nothing to help. c, p j protects journalists facing reprisals for the journalistic activity. as long as they adhere to the principles of unbiased objective reporting. when we look to the names of people associated with the media outlets you mentioned in your e mail and who can be included in the new list of sanctioned individuals. we found out that they did not follow this rule of unbiased journalism. therefore, we cannot protect them. a draft to you blacklist reportedly includes artsy and state television and radio company and they get their car which could potentially have the assets frozen in countries. while a fee of $100.00 and other channels could also lose the broadcast licenses of a $100.00 russian media personalities, including popular tv pretenses could also be blacklisted. meanwhile, the committee continues to actively support global pro western media outlets. early this month, for example, it demanded above be lifted on us funded broadcast radio free europe, radio liberty in afghanistan. while last month it demanded access to be restored to
5:22 am
the broadcast. it could get websites, legal and media unlist line, all told us that media outlets often gets accused of biased without an explanation . it is fascinating to me that the reason why you are not going to be allowed to speak or to o pine is because you were biased, that you are not able to give an opinion because of a bias. does anybody understand what that means? can anybody define what bias is? where are the journalists around the world? where do people, where are they when they hear this? what does this mean to tell somebody we are always, you are a priori. limit your ability to speak because of your bias without explaining what this even means. can you explain it? have you heard a definition? listen if you want to put all of the warnings warning, you know,
5:23 am
the following may be biased, fine, let me hear it. but these terms misinformation, dis, information bias is biased. did this, that me oh my favorite. how could i forget propaganda? this is propaganda. what is that mean? how does that fit in the hierarchy of true? is propaganda ever true? does it mean it's exaggerated truth? does that mean to me? i disagree with these terms. me nothing. but we are nodding our heads in this collective obeisance, and that frightens me even more. we're becoming condition everywhere, to just accept it. who is going to finally say enough when? well, journalists around the world, finally say that the dissemination and the exchange of information is a basic human right. whether on the individual level, the national level, the corporate level, they say something that is some way. apparently, we're at those max of truth because you know, the old expression,
5:24 am
you only take flak when you're over the target bone. a say something that is piquant. i'm shut down. and i say again to the point of redundancy, i kind of understand that. i don't understand how the world is deaf is mum, is mute, is seeing nothing because they're in your, into this, they're there, they're indoctrinated to that. they're, they're becoming habituated to way that scares me more than anything. you are a senator who initially proposed stopping usa to saudi forces fighting human has now backtracked, saying that he's waiting for further cooperation with the white house. i'm not going to ask for a vote tonight. i look forward to working with the administration. was opposed to this resolution and see if we can come up with something that is stronger effect look. and if we do not, i will be back during his speech sen,
5:25 am
bernie sanders referred to the saudi government as a quote bloody one multiple times for when it came to his proposal to stop the funding, he withdrew and pledge to work close on the issue with the biden administration leaving u. s. military involvement to continue. that is, as unicef published a report on the dramatic number of victims and the conflicts in yemen, according to that day. so over 23000000 yemen is, are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. and half of them that some 12000000 children, more than 3000000 of whom are struggling with malnutrition, while nearly 18000000. yemen is like access to safe water and even basic hygiene products. unicef, executive director, has vowed an immediate response to the crisis. thousands of children have lost their lives. hundreds of thousands more remain at risk of death from preventable disease or starvation. they all need immediate support as basic services have all but collapsed. humans war has been raging since 2014 when hootie rebels took
5:26 am
control of the capital. since then, the country has been under siege from both rebels on saudi lead forces, which support the government. meanwhile, the u. s. continues to form those fighting. the hoots is the president of humans, relief and reconstruction foundation says that those financing, the conflicts need to accept responsibility of the crisis. actually extremely frustrating and very sad to hear about the number of family and children who have suffered due to this war. and the actual number is actually in my mind as public health professional, as the knowledge is, is a lot more than what's being reported. because there are people and children in yemen and a lot of places that don't have how services don't have access to being counted for dying either from communicable diseases, infections, hunger who are not being counted. so it is something that i think is
5:27 am
a shame on all humanity and shame on the people whose actions is all can the stuff i always call the men wore the black out war because there is so much interest in not knowing the public to know about what's going on in human, whether it's from the saudi or there. and of course, the us because it is supporting this are the war in the lead. why they're not interested in allowing the american public to know about that no matter how much nation national community fortune and they've been putting in. and as they said this year, last year, the donations have been reduced quite a bit and they do not meet the needs of the many people. but again, no country in the wall can survive just on a new economy, has to be on hold. and one way that we know is that the blockade needs to
5:28 am
be lifted. so the economy and the people here and can help themselves. well, that's all for now, would you be sure to check out all websites? are you dot com for the latest breaking news and updates almost the ride back here, the top of the hour? ah . when i want to show the wrong one, i just don't know. i mean you've yet to figure out. this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. only
5:29 am
41 percent of usaa does have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that in america we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system you have to prove to the government that you truly need help. the simplest way, like explain a basic income, is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payment that would go to everyone, does a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. i like them me. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. and just by virtue of your being here
5:30 am
ah, [000:00:00;00] with hello and welcome to cross shop. were all things were considered? i'm peter labelle. are we witnessing the end of globalization as we have known it for about the last half century? it would certainly seem so the west, the ability to shape the world in its own image also appears to be on the way. as a result, should we expect new regional and block globalization ah cross sucking globalization, i'm joined by my guess, arthur clara in toronto. he's at liberty advocate in
