good evening for mark international studios in moscow and from wherever you may be watching. welcome to the hour's top news stories from around the world. i'm fear ella is about we start with the latest updates on the ukrainian conflict. russian troops have cut off the main roadway leading to the key town of ogle, adar southwest of the regional capital done yet. that's after local authorities said the army security foothold paving the way for a bigger offensive and circling ukrainian forces. ortiz roman cooperative has the details. but according to our, my sources from the guys are fighting integrals. are right now. they've been on the outskirts of the city for the last 2 days in the they have established a foothold just outside of the city, which is about to 70 kilometers away from dentist core. i am right now. now, according to officials, russia, the marines of the pacific police are fighting there as well as offices of the

former officers of the ministry of the interior of for the next a republic. now once again, according to my source, they're not planning to storm the city streets or they're planning to execute a so called pin sir movements will or they will in circle the ukranian army from both the flanks, according to the russian defense ministry, one of the roads leading to lazar is now under a full control of the russian forces. now, once again, fighting intense fighting is continued over there. and according to officials, russia is using both the artillery and aviation, as well as ground troops. meanwhile, elsewhere in ukraine and several explosions were heard in the city of give, in odessa and in as up our osha, part controlled by a ukraine. at the moment, former boxer now mayor of ikea,

it's alex wish gore had confirmed that there were indeed explosions in the ukrainian capital. we caught up with a russian tank driver when his crew returned to base to re arm before heading back into the fray. near ogle, adar, he operator shared his perspective on how the battle is progressing. also way in on how much of a fighting chance the new western tanks will stand against the russian forces. a boiler deluxe at 33 lucas up we just returned from the combat missions 30 minutes ago. you can call the situation tense. after all, there's an offensive going on, but we're moving forward successfully. i'll be as slowly due to the fact that the military command want to save as many troops as possible. the soldiers are in a good mood because we're advancing. we're successfully destroying the animators will let us know if we come up against leopards or challengers that were made the same years our tanks. i think we can handle it for one simple reason. a lot depends on the crew. we will be opposed by people who have been trained only now will be

unfamiliar with their western tanks. so i think we can handle it. they as productivity. meanwhile, the kremlin has condemned the newly announced delivery of german and american tanks to ukraine, calling it direct western involvement in the conflicts. clearly reduced statements are constantly being made from european capitals and from washington that the delivery of various weapon systems, including tanks to ukraine in no way means the involvement of these countries were alliances in the fighting that is taking place in ukraine. we strongly disagree with this. moscow perceives this as direct involvement in the conflict. we see that it is expanding mostly former us president. donald trump also criticize the current administration, urging it to stop any weapons to ukraine and, and the conflict that comes as berlin in washington expect. he have to launch counter attacks on moscow's forces, and they have pledge to train ukrainian crews on newly dispatched tanks. though the

2 nato allies are in unison over military supplies to ukraine, they're not on the same page about the stated aim. it is not an offensive threat to russia. there is no offensive threat to russia, and therefore i've said already in the last days, yes, we have to do more to defend ukraine. yes, we have to do more also on things. but the most important in the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in europe because we are fighting a war against russia and not against each other. thank you. many people in the german governments are making decisions that favor washington at germany is expense, and fighting, being a part of this proxy war fighting this oxy war for and with the united states in his part of that. i think they will continue to search for weapons to send hue cry, and it will obviously make no difference. we were told that hi mars and the triple

saddens we're going to make all the difference. and here we are back to square one, looking for wonder weapons to send ukraine to turn the tide, which we were already told turned already. so they're going to continue to go through this process. apparently oblivious to the fact that these weapons take years for a army to incorporate and use on the battlefield effectively. so unfortunately, we're going to watch this process continue to play out and watch matters escalade. meanwhile, russia has also warned against the potential use of depleted uranium shells by western tanks and ukraine. nato, infamously, unleash such ammunition in some previous military conflicts leading to both civilians and western soldiers. being exposed to radiation, according to russia's arms control, chief and vienna. moscow will consider the use of such weapons as a dirty nuclear bomb attack. for now,

3 different types of nato main battle tanks are going to be delivered to the ukranian army. washington promised to send 31 of its m one abrams. although the white house said the delivery will take months, germany is going to send 14 of its most modern leopards with several other nato states, also committed to sending their own stocks as they had been waiting for a green light from berlin. and finally, b u. k. will be delivering 14 of a challenge or 2 tanks. we ask former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. if kevin army can actually handle such advanced weapons. those are 3 completely different types of tanks with 3 completely different types of maintenance and logistics and sustainability issues. you know, the challenger and the leopard use diesel fuel. the one uses a jet fuel which to different engines. and so, you know, even though the numbers of tanks might look impressive when you add them all up,

fact is of because of the use the different kinds of change being provided. a we're actually making it very difficult for the ukrainians to, to incorporate these tanks and use them on the field of battle. tanks are very maintenance intensive, a fresh assembly in one abrams tank for every hour of operation. you need at least 3 hours of maintenance support and that's just piece time operation. now you throw in the complexity of combat and you're probably looking for every hour, you know, 456 hours of maintenance support, and that's with a well trained maintenance crew. ukrainians don't have well trained maintenance cruise, a capable of supporting the the m on abrams. and i just think that we're creating a logistical nightmare was to speak, frankly, or russia has spent decades preparing for the possibility of vo

war between nato and russia. what i mean by that is that russia's developed weapons and tactics that are designed to prevail in combat against the nato. like enemy, we've got you covered with all the details on the ramifications of the western tank deliveries to ukraine on air and on our website at r t dot com. or you can get plenty more opinions and in depth analysis plus live updates. project veritas, in american activist group has published a new bombshell video featuring the director of research and development at pfizer, who admits the pharmaceutical giant, considered mutating the covey virus for a new vaccine opportunities. calling the pandemic a pass pal for the company. iser ultimately is thinking about mutating co. good guys, no with no, i don't know anyone with bruce horn like not, you know,

good virus facilitating. yeah. well, one of the things were so usually why don't we just need to know how to solve. so we can close on his way to pre, i'm going to build one's actually, i don't have to do that super. do that go there are like, as you could imagine, no one wants to be a company when you say like, let's cross live now to our, to contributor rachel mars then rachel, this is a highly curious and some, but somewhat worrying revelation if confirm what more can you tell us it looks like they're sitting in some kind of a dining establishment. can you imagine being there eating and overhearing, and talking about mutating viruses? check please. gum. love that guys. title, by the way, pfizer, director of research and development, strategic operations and m. r. and a scientific planning. yeah, it sounds like he was filling a whole business plan for plague ink to this project. veritas journalist,

now mother, nature just isn't fast enough, apparently to fill up big farm as coffers. so he saying that pfizer is giving the virus a little shove, the more quickly cove it mutates. the faster pfizer can announce that all the vaccines already purchased and sitting in storage are dated, and that there's a new must have the latest and greatest version already for sale. i mean, either way, it could be a cash cow. go to cal for a while going to work. well, yeah, i obviously like up cool. i think the whole, i know, i think the whole like research or the viruses and mutating it like would be the ultimate like cache. so yeah. maybe for yeah, so gray making new viruses to sell a patch. so the injection kind of like apples, programmed obsolescence on the i phones to make customers buy new ones and keep the

cash rolling in except i phones aren't making people sick. $15000000000.00 an annual revenues by 2030. that's the estimated value that pfizer gave its m r n a cash cow in december. in 2021 alone at the height of all his arm twisting for people to take the coven job under threat of lockdown, or losing their job, or not being able to assemble or travel or enjoy leisure activities. pfizer made $81000000000.00 in a single year. now this video comes at a time when more questions are coming out about phases tactics just last week. and indian official accused the company of trying to pressure the country to accept the clause that would lead it off the hook for injury or death. from the jap, the topic of excess mortality is now routinely evoked in the press with question swirling around like that. so why is that happening now? why are we seeing these excess deaths? now? there are too many credible answers forthcoming. now the british government also

recently acknowledged on its own website that maya cardite us, and perry cardite us, which affect the heart, can indeed be caused by em or any vaccines. now that's a fact that was previously minimized as being extremely rare or else you know, just a minor detail, not really a big deal if you get it. but now it's apparently important enough for the government to explicitly warn british healthcare professionals that it's a concern worth way. something else this pfizer research director mentions is the incestuous relationship between big pharma and governments, a quote revolving door as he calls it and quote, bad for america here. don't say not just america, but other countries too. how about the situation here? example in europe, where to and yos earlier this month accused the european union leadership of signing secret contracts. for these m r n a cove jobs whose turns the public has

yet to even see with pfizer. c. e o, getting a special mention in the report. to make matters worse, pfizer seo albert borla has twice refused to appear in front of a european parliament's coven committee to answer questions about how contract negotiations were carried out. an odd decision for a company who claims to be very transparent, vaccine criminals. that's what the same c, e o albert borla called those who question visors product. regardless of how many drinks this pfizer research director, may or may not have had before spilling the beans to project veritas. it's clearly time to stop giving the benefit of the doubt to the health industrial complex and the governments in collusion with them. archie contributor rachel mars than thank you. aah! to iraq now where hundreds have taken to the streets of baghdad in protest against the devaluation of the nations currency,

which has had locals hard demonstrators. mainly young people gathered near the central bank, carrying flags and banners in a bid to pressure the government to act. the iraqi dinar has hit a new low to the us dollar was the almost 7 percent of its value since mid november . protests are, say, life in the country has become a nightmare because of the economic crisis. as they accused, the central bank of serving american interests. the whole bank in my cousin. we are here to send a message to this lien in week bank that doesn't protect its national currency about it is subjected to terms and dictations of outside banks and especially american bank in the us beyond our messages. but if you go with these terms, then what are the poor people supposed to do? a mag sat a do not have alex in the june. the dollar price is uncertain for various reasons, unknown to us, the people. but what we do know is that the main reason for the dollar increase is the smuggling of the currency outside iraq want to certain countries which has impacted our economic situation. i hope we're told all this stuff was inevitable in

order to reduce the price of the us dollar, which had started to affect many social classes in iraq. all country wants to liberate itself and leave, like the rest of the world to poor, have been affected, and the lower classes have reached a situation where they can no longer survive a little bit higher benefit of our to contributor cris am's investigates why iraq faces such economic term mile, despite being one of the world's top oil producers, iraq's prime minister has facts, the head of the countries central bank over the total collapse of the national currency, the iraqi dinner. the central banks governors request for discharge was approved. as was the request for retirement by the president of the trade bank of iraq, despite being one of the wall, it's most oil rich countries. iraq currency continues to plummets. unlike its fellow oil rich nations in the gulf, such as saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, which we enjoy all time highs as they capitalize on rising oil prices. iraq is suffering from unprecedented levels of inflation with the cost of living,

becoming unaffordable for most people. but why is this happening? you guessed it, uncle sam has its thing to in the pi yet again, most of iraq's oil wealth is still helping us dollars. instead of in its own suffering currency, it's built even held inside the country's own central bank. but it a current account in the usa. this means that the oil revenues that should support iraq sulfur currency, a propping up the u. s. economy. instead, everyone knows how the americans use the currency as a weapon to saw people. iraq keeps billions of dollars of its assets offshore with the americans fed holding the vast bulk of money off the bush and blair illegal invasion of the country. their so called partners continued to rob the bank and get away with it struggling in iraq by literally holding it to ransom. now just imagine the western out quite as russia in china did the same thing, the countries in which they hold significant interest. so is it really any wonder why so many nations are moving away from the so called petro dollar,

and seeking to trade in alternative national currencies, or even crypto times running out franco sam and his rules based order is no longer a question of if. but when the clock strikes midnight, washington has condemned new delhi for allegedly jeopardizing freedom of speech. that's in the wake of india's response to the recent, controversial b, b. c documentary on prime minister, nor under moody. it makes us wonder about the purpose of this exercise in the agenda behind it. this is of propaganda piece designed to push a particular discredited narrative. the bias, the lack of objectivity and a continuing colonial mindset are blatantly visible. the documentary is said to explore in our under modi's politics, but emphasizes his alleged involvement in the 2000 to garage good herat riots which claim lives of at least $1000.00 muslims and hindus the controversial b. b. c. produce film has sparked outrage among many indians who say western

hypocrisy has gone to great lengths to describe it. india, india phobia on display as media attacks. india success in addition to attempting to defame modi, the bbc's documentary insults india's vast diversity, we stand with no render mowdy against this shameful act. center government criticize b. b. c. for a documentary, sam mowdy is intolerant and fascist indira gandhi band, b b. c for 2 years in 1970. but she was a great democratic leader. typical leftist hypocrisy. these 3 american men have invaded 9 countries and 23 years killed, 11000000 civilians and no one calls them war criminals. now the, the see no new york times or any other media house will dare make a documentary on them that they will spread propaganda against india and modi. 247 . let's cross live now to former indian diplomat and neil turney up a welcome, a neil. what do you make of the controversial b b c film right now,

and it's as this narrative accurate. well this is a mischievous and im keeping with the the investor narrative that i created it only like something we're good to say when against india because in yesterday, rising, it is the fastest growing major economy and a prime minister movie. and today it's a deep on a chair and also hosting a c o and other major international organizations. it is a country that has a much during the pandemic as well, the biggest manufacturer of the world and working on the global got. so these are the kind of things that, and recently, as you know, in the past, you came to become the 5th largest economy, the world and the for all these things are not palatable to the western media. so therefore it is, i think that this documentary was essentially created to find some concessional talk about talk, i'm his india. and so they dug out some kind of reporting and asking people to talk

about and referring to you can see the way it is done. i sort of prime to some of these consent, i think that this a he has been subjected to regular examination and the highest score of the country as absent. and the british as meet to understand that in the follows very similar in the appeal court is very similar to the bristol, and therefore they are casting aspersions on india's judicially. that is something ridiculous, actually, to say the least. and i think it shows their mindset. besides, as you know, there are 2 of the things i would say. one is that british u. k has now got an indian origin prime minister with himself and they're trying to work out their internal politics within the country badly. i would say that this is also could have been driven exactly the same kind of narrative and the statements that have come out from the, you know, they've been able to go to pakistani foreign minister who spoke in such a denigrating jumps against prime minister movie very recently,

and when he was in the us. so i think that there is the whole hostile factors. they're just trying to dig out something. and as you've mentioned, new to both that these countries, the kind of war crimes they have committed themselves. them manufactured evidence when it was none in, in iraq war and libya image of everywhere kind of stuff. but i think that they have continued to do what they want to do. but then the other countries, especially coming from the car was, are trying to do better and it wasn't as leaders. they just cannot digest this fact taking in everything happening geopolitically. what about the timing? why do you think that b b c really says, well now, could it be connected to india's refusal to allow western anti russian sanctions? but they have not been happy about the india principle to stand out in the shape in war. india has stood for peace dialogue and diplomacy,

and prime minister movie has spoken to president putin as well as president sky to come sit across the table and try to have the same voice actually in this mag, was that the moment? where is the british shows and the western countries are continuing to home and the trouble in your grade. and the grade is the only country that is actually using the bug in the rest of the world. because of these kind of crises that have been created by a preposition of financial instruments and of the food. good. so i think that in that sense, but this is obviously, they don't like that in the i've done that. but india, as a principal, stand the our friends with them, we have the relationships with them, a level of the political level. but at the same time, the other principal country we take, we have always been a history of the dimensions. there's no doubt about it. but at the same time, one has to take everything and complete all the stigma you have to assess if you cannot have my big view and then try to do something that these countries want us

to do. we will never do that, and you'll turn on a former indian diplomat. thank you. thank you. ah candidates ambassador to you and was hack old during a conference in ottawa, as the official was bombarded with a slew of tough questions, he couldn't answer ranging from nato's proxy war in ukraine to voting against a resolution to condemn neo nazi as i'm here's how the incident unfolded from the perspective of the protagonist canadian journalist, an activist eve as angler. mr. ray, you're lying. you know it, you're, you're using ukraine is a proxy to weaken russia. you don't, you don't care about international law at the united nations just recently. you voted against multiple resolutions, upholding international law, upholding palestinian rights. you voted against a resolution condemning neo naziism. you voted against a resolution supporting the treaty on the portion of nuclear weapons on haiti. mr.

ray, you're propping up, you're propping up and i'm elected. i'm elected unpopular unconstitutional leader is that drew reyes that you barbara didn't respond properly to the questions. of course, we didn't expect him to respond in an honest matter, the king government and bob grey himself do not care about international law. they care about advancing us, empire, every thing and these things are scripted, it, there's no going to be no opportunity for a real exchange of ideas. there is relatively open speech in canada. what we have is quite a, quite an impressive ah propaganda system where you have very old pin a. we speech rules. you know, there's politicians are relatively accessible at the center for public forums. but the dominant means of communication allow for very narrow spectrum of debate. so i have, you know, published 10 books on canadian foreign policy from

a critical perspective. the dominant media in this country absolutely refuses to ever, basically ever been on, of course, but basically ever hear my perspective on canadian foreign policy. and i'm just, it's just one example of how the critical perspectives are just excluded from ah, mass communications. ah, the u. s. has been training the ukranian military for years, according to former state secretary and c. i a director my comm pale, who says he visited ukraine multiple times during his term as washington, spite chief the ukrainian defense forces have been trained by the united states for an awfully long time. when i was a c, i, director i was in southeast ukraine on more than one occasion. we were helping them with special operating forces stuff. my campaign says that the current successes of ukraine can be attributed to the us and in

a 2020 statement to national public radio said that america doesn't care about ukraine. meanwhile, the former us secretary of state also mentioned that americans don't even know where you print is on a map, executive vice president of the you rages center or russ music says washington provoked the russian special military operation as it had been involved in ukrainian affairs for years us have been probably the primary instigators of and i would say behind provoking this, this special mental, very operation that we were we're behind the coup with 2014, most likely we're behind the very suspiciously you have our hand potentially in the north stream explosion and we've been in ukraine for quite a while. i was the, even before 2014. we've been in your brain the both with

modifications to the bio laboratory facility as well as the arming ukraine and training there for this. and i think the, the areas increase significantly in 2014 and beyond. i mean mr. palm paid it on pay and we've been looted to 6 years, but i would say we've been there longer than that ukrainian opposition leader, victor medford. chuck has spoken to r t in his 1st appearance on international media since he was freed, in a prisoner's thought deal between moscow and ki evans, september. he shared his take on the future of ukraine and its relations with russia, against the backdrop of western meddling with ortiz marina cassette. eva, you can watch the interview in full later on air or on our website at r t dot com. but for now, here's a quick clip while the war is being waged in ukraine, that this war is not for ukraine. but in the interest of the west,

the u. s. the u. k. and many other countries which are settling their scores in russia against octal, they have made ukraine come toward unders lensky government, a kind of testing ground, either or a launch pad in a standoff with russia. yes, as up. and so have spent all these months putting a team back together. a lot of people came from key. evelyn is many people who are outside ukraine, like in russia, euro, the hollywood, turkey, them that they are ready to continue to fight and have their say. thank you, me see whether that's exactly what i laid out in my article concerning the situation which is unfolded when i make the case for the voice of another. you, craig, to be heard in russia, ukraine, and the west, and we know for sure there is another ukraine like, but who zalinski claim to represent the united nation. but that is a myth invented artist dinner. this unity has been built on by an exotic authority . he represents ukraine, claiming the ukrainian people who come together and stand strong in the anti

russian narrative and rabbit ross, a phobia of the world. this is not true. apart from the anti russian voice. there are people in ukraine who are afraid to talk about it publicly, but have never supported the nature and dynamic of the relationship between ukraine of russia as emerged today. these people ukrainian sapir just like me. i believe it is a direct violation of the constitution probably and to deprive me of my ukrainian citizenship . and it's not just my opinion. it is impossible to deprive a citizen of ukraine of his citizenship. he except in the event of a voluntary request, it contradicts not only the constitution i'm green's, but it also contradicts an international convention which forbid such an act if a person is left stateless as a result of the yeah, the shade glasses ukraine is signed up to this international convention they from despite this at the lens, he continued his efforts to crush his political opponents through.
