bring our history so that it is a boss to future generations. but our physical museums, places themselves a relic of the past. this is one of the best museums of the world are coming from st. petersburg to help roughly is the director here. and i bet he has met with don yet, republican will 30 say russian troops had nearly encircled the ukrainian held town and they were new defensive in u. s. secretary of state lincoln council. his visit to beijing, following hysteria in american media caused by a chinese where the balloon swaying into you with the leak documents came a british intelligence project spied on palestinian refugees using a group previously alleged to have provided fund. i'm with

a very welcome. this is auntie international with the latest world news update, just good to have you with us. now we start with russia. that's up for those. yeah . region where according to reports from local officials, a police officer has died and a car bomb explosion. applause happened in the city of a new, ga dot, and these are some of the latest pictures from the scene. there's no information, yes, and what caused the explosion or who could be responsible. however, the regions of that project on her son had previously seen similar incidents with russia saying local authorities and activists being targeted by the ukrainian secret services. the town of america don is also close to these output osha nuclear power plants, which both sides have accused each other of shelly. well, as the latest news from the dawn bass flung lines or thorough teeth and the dawn, yes, republics. a russian forces of almost encircled the key town of playdoh. this comes, as most goes, trips round up there offensive in the region. while ukrainian force is reportedly

showed residential areas that don't yet city with an apartment building, taking heavy damage. in total, a towns were bombarded by ukraine on thursday, leaving one civilian dead. that's according to local authorities. ortiz ramon concert reports from the town of the us and of anti ah, the city or yes in nevada has been under constant ukrainian shilling since 2014, and it only intensified in the last year or the last 12 months. at least 40 local residents were killed by ukrainian artillery. shelling at hundreds were wounded. vicious love was a writer like food, drink and see when a shell landed right into his house. this is what it looks like right now.

according to local officials, there were at least 3 shelves there around and right next to his house. now he was doing maint maintenance works here and he just stepped away for 10 minutes to have some t and of this happen. so he survived the strike miraculously car and he started, they tried to kill more people, obviously to scare us. well, we have lived here since 2014 and don't plan to move nickel. then i even managed to join the army. now i'm in the reserves and came home to try to fix this. the sipes of pictures are absolutely everywhere now in that yes im of arthur according to the mayor of the city, me trisha jenko at least 2000 and private houses and multiple apartment buildings were destroyed as well. you could machine holder and pushing push will go when settlements are liberated from ukraine. ukraine shells them to the ground.

destruction in such areas is at 90 percent or even 100 percent. if we're talking about those killed 40 people died you in the previous year and about $130.00 people were injured. i'm on them civilians, public service and railway walkers, which is in nevada, used to be a major railway hub in eastern europe. however, right now, it's not really functioning and that means that thousands of people are currently out of the job. they're hoping that piece will come very soon, so they'll be able to support their families once again from on coster of r t, then that's cru, public, and ukraine's. the army will soon be able to fire american made weapons deep into crimea, which has been a pos of rushes into 20. 14. as off to washington, confirmed, it will send long range bonds to ukraine for the 1st time. a small diameter bomb in

the latest ukraine aid package has the potential the target crimea. is that the intent behind providing it now? so thanks for the question, joe. so, so yes, as part of the usa package, we will be providing ground launch small diameter bombs to ukraine. this gives them a longer range capability, long range fires capability that will enable them again to conduct operations in defense of their country and to take back their sovereign territory. rush in occupied areas. the mentioned a small diameter bomb deliveries are expected to be part of the newest, at $2200000000.00 package of usa to ukraine. the bombs have a maximum range of a 150 kilometers, which is much further than any other weapon supplied to cab so saw in response to the pentagon, latest statements, the kremlin has pointed to president putin recent warning. the russia has enough

military capabilities to respond to weston threats from ukraine. the co director of the international action center several flounders saying to us is intentionally provoking russia and prolonging the conflicts by any means. the u. s. isn't ignoring the warnings they are deliberately, deliberately provoking further and further, or they know the consequences of this. and they're more than willing to push ahead . there's an enormous number of weapons and us, you know, inventory to big a, lots of choices. but it's clear that each choice is meant to expand the war, to do more damage, not in any way to reach a resolution. it will also mean on on rushes parts that they will have to go further into ukraine in order to secure their borders. russia's luscious borders.

oh, so it's an expansion of the war. it's very dangerous. there's no reason for it. it's more money, but a higher grade of weapon should actually have double the range. meanwhile, the european union is also intensifying its involvement in ukraine with the commission president praising k as to what she believes to be an effective response to long time corruption challenges. i'm comforted to see that your anti corruption bugs are on the alert and effective in detecting corruption cases. i also commend you on reacting so rapidly at the political level to make sure that the fight against corruption is delivering tangible results. and it is further stepped up. this reaction followed a series of unexpected anti corruption, detentions, and raids which have intensified across ukraine in recent weeks. cubes authorities

of these huge amounts of shady cache and several government agencies, as well as from the private homes of some civil servants who feed accused of taking bribes. one case apparently involved the countries deputy defense minister who's a sofa report to the stored $1000000.00 worth in ukrainian cash. however, some contradicting media report suggests that incidents actually took place last year. meanwhile, some high profile ukrainian officials have in fact been dismissed in recent days amid the anti corruption crackdown. according to research from transparency international last year ukraine came in at number 116 on the list of a 180 countries in the public sector corruption index, where the least corrupt nations around to the top. he has neighbors on his low rating and could countries like zambia on the philippines with the closest d, u nation, hungary being 40 positions high up on the list. the anti corruption measures were launched as days ahead of a summit between

a u e o. officials and ukraine's president in care, however, ukraine's hopes of a fast track accession to the union have been dashed. as the commission says, there's still plenty of work to be done. you grant is at an early stage of preparation for implementing the equity and applying european financial control standards, full alignment with the e, u ac. we will require reform of the accountant chamber of ukraine in order to make its independence explicit in the constitution, broaden its mandate and apply international standards in its audit procedures. over all internal audit is not yet well stablished in ukraine. well, you know what, this whole thing was. well, 1st let's talk about what it wasn't. it wasn't a summit in the history marking since it wasn't like reckoning. gorbachev in reykjavik or in geneva, or the vienna summit between khrushchev and jeff kay. this whole event will be forgotten by sometime next week because was just brussels on tour, like when a broadway production leads new york and takes the act on the road. same lines,

same roles. and this production even had a costume director, apparently since a memo, reportedly went out ahead of time specifying a dress code for the trip for the delegates, telling the brussels bureaucrat to where quote, usual business attire. and to avoid quote, green khaki or 2 bright colors. so that leaves out things like wrapping themselves in the ukranian flag, which is bright yellow and bright blue or dressing in anything resembling army fatigues. presumably, such direct as were necessary after french president emanuel macklin was photographed walking around the alleys a palace last year in a zalinski style hoodie and a 5 o'clock shadow looking like he was there to paint the walls instead of run the french republic. so leading this traveling circus was ring leader and european commission present. ursula vander line. he sounded like she just put all the usual talking points into a box, and then drew them out randomly to determine which order they'd be in her speech.

this time to discuss also at the summit, how to make russia pay for the brutal destruction it is causing russia society and economy is a price because of the sanctions that will post the 10s packages on its way. how many times have we heard that line about russia paying a high price for sanctions? the price is apparently so high and the sanction so effective that the e you feels need to go rummaging around in the sofa cushions to see if there are any more crumbs left to sanction. in this 10th round, we're talking about now, you know, was our buying or vendor lines trying to sell the western press and western analysts for one. cnbc for example, concludes that western sanctions on russian crude have quote, failed completely. and analysts told the network that the crude price cap was quote, pretty inconsequential, and another expert described it as, quote, invented by bureaucrats with finance degrees. and that none of the really

understand oil markets. and just a few days ago, the international monetary fund predicted economic growth for russia of 0.3 percent . as a result of moscow refocusing trade away from the west and towards other countries . meanwhile, it seems like the e u is sobering up on their talk when it comes to the timeline and prospects for ukrainian integration into the block. here is european council president shot me shed the reason for the 2 of you for your payment, which form that i did the full lisa, a process where it needed to figure fusion. i don't remember who's going to need both help me fall. also said ukraine is the e u, the e u is ukraine. nice word salad, which doesn't seem to mean much. wenzel in these appetite is for nothing less than the meat and potatoes of e u integration u. s. state secretary antony blink and has cancelled his upcoming

trip to china. well, that's off to a huge chinese balloon which page and called a weather surveillance at craft was 1st spotted floating near the aleutian islands . and then again st. hovering a nucleus science in the us state of montana, the american state department is referred to. the incident is a violation of its sovereignty. we have noted the people's republic of china statement of regret, but the presence of this balloon in our air space is a clear violation of our sovereignty as well as international law, and is an acceptable the this has occurred. the u. s. insists the and craft is a surveillance balloon despite china sank it so whether device which straight of course, painting on it that it regrets the unintended entry of its sackcloth into american as space. the airship is from china. it is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological purposes, affected by the western winds and with limited self steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course. the chinese side regrets the

unintended entry of the airship into u. s. airspace u. s. media outlets were initially hysterical over a foreign balloon flying over the country. china is responding to the discovery of a suspected chinese spike balloon flying over the u. s. as we speak now, china's china's foreign ministry is now saying that the balloon did come from china . but that it's a civilian a balloon official say they have been tracking it for days, and there will be serious political and diplomatic consequences. the biden administration pulling the plug on secretary of state lincoln plan trip to china. traffic near the side in billings, montana was halted earlier today. the military considered shooting it down to the state of montana, but was concerned that falling debris could hit someone. with some us officials went a step further and dodge the military to shoot down the chinese balloon despite it posing no real surprise. bring the balloon down now and exploit its tech package,

which could be an intelligence bonanza bite and shoot down the chinese spy balloon . immediately, china's are most significant threat in the world right now, and we need to handle them like the threat that they are. for its part, the pentagon, which is responsible for defending the country, confirms that the chinese balloon poses no threats to american locals. the balloon continues to move eastward and is currently over the center of the continental united states. again, we currently assessed that the balloon does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground at this time. and while the media panicked and officials tried to down play the incident, some members of the online community jumped on the chance to post names about the balloon sky. i don't think the chinese balloon is gonna make it through missouri in one piece. saw this weird satellite over montana to night. should we be concerned close up picture of the chinese balloon legal on media analyst line. i'll say that

if the balloon came from a different country, the amount of media attention given to the incident would have been much less. i must spend some time over the euphemistic weather balloon. it's a bologna. you should q. nina 99 looped balloon. it's an air ship, it's no big deal. it just got loose. what are you going to do? a force massage or they're actually saying, oh my sorry about that. we lost control. you know how these balloons are now, what you just saw right now, which was the most fascinating american mainstream corporate media, actually reacting in a way that is roughly commensurate with the situation that is going on. normally, it's, what are you going to do? and i must say something, because i am a cultural scholar when it comes to balloons,

that word trigger something. whenever we see somebody fly across the sky at hypersonic rates and make right turns we don't call it a u. f o we call it a weather balloon. these weather balloons are all over the place. are swamp gas. now, here is the question. does anybody understand what this means? when you have a balloon fly over a sovereign country? let me tell you the will use of the word balloon is strategic. does that? can you imagine being attacked by a balloon? may i also ask the question if and joe, the china, we replaced the country with another name. do you think the reaction might be a little different? it's incredible. the nonchalance and american research has been ridiculed on social media. not she's trying to blame, lost his freedom,

convoy protests in canada, another than russia. i published a 7000 word analysis in the journal of intelligence, conflict and warfare to day documenting evidence of russian influence activities targeting the 2022 canadian freedom convoy the estate funded media proxy sources and telegram groups. if i understand your thesis correctly, state media coverage equals state involvement. by that measure, the bbc world service has a lot to answer for seems a bit of a stretch. i read your analysis. it said that this is passed off as an academic paper 0 proof just basically that various russian entities provided media coverage . well, once again, we have the amazing carolyn or wayne out coming forward in this time. she's saying that the trucker convoy canada was somehow a conspiracy by russia. now, one of her sources, she sites is none other than the rest state department and their global strategic

engagement center. basically, u. s. government and intelligence officials saying something therefore must be true if they say it, of course. and it goes further than that because many of want it to the very contradictory nature of this report at one point in the report. she says very clearly that media calgary is not prove from state involvement, but then later in the report she seems to be making that very argument. here's what was that. it is unlikely that this coverage had a meaningful, direct impact on the convoy movement, but rather may have influenced supporters and participants through more subtle and direct pathways, including through social media platforms like telegram. now carol and wayne has long been a source of amusement. many will recall back in 2019, when she announced that she was planning to do an investigation into us congress, one healthy gabber allegations that congressman tells gabbert with

a stooge of the crown le. now her sources turns out were the hamilton $68.00 folks the the alliance for securing democracy outlet that we've just found out from the twitter file, add no credibility whatsoever. was claiming all kinds of social media accounts were russian bond controls when they were not that at all. that was their source and she was raising money for a trip to hawaii to investigate kelsey gabbert, she said we are crowdfunding a project to investigate tool. see, we'll have more details in the coming days, but to see as a noxious politician who presents a serious threat of dividing the left, which is exactly why russia likes her. and she likes our side. but many pointed out that it looked like she was all raising money for a little bit of a luxury vacation, carolyn, or why not work at the end with a long standing pattern of those being russian conspiracies and plots everywhere in the united states. very little evidence presented. inaccurate statement that later

you bog sources that are later proven to be not credible. however, no attraction afterward. canadian lawyer and legal commentator david for, i hate say north american media shouldn't be lecturing others about fair and unbiased coverage of the freedom convoy. if that's the argument that the russian interference comes from r t or russian media covering the protest, it's a laughable premise. but let's even operate on that premise. that's interference. you know, what else is interference? government subsidized canadian media, not covering the protests or when they do cover the protests to cover it with slanderous demonstrable life cbc can the broadcasting corporation got to canada. they are, they operate on federal funding to the tune of $1200000000.00 a year. does anyone think that they're going to bite the hand that literally subsidizes them? no. so the cdc in its early days of coverage falsely and also maliciously depicted

that protests as racist massage. and, you know, they conveniently had that camera men, right, where they had that one flag of the swastika, and that one flag of the confederate like that a magically appeared on day one and never reappeared to protect their employer. you get the rest of canadian media, print media in canada, which now survives or survived off a $600000000.00 bill out in 2018 and just intruder flailing dying entities. are they going to report in a way that makes true to look like a b, dest thought that he is? heck, no. and then you got digital media surviving off cove. it adds, government adds, it's indirect subsidies. and so you have what is effectively a captured canadian media not reporting what their employer doesn't want them to report and reporting what their employer wants to report. and then turning round and seeing someone who covers this authentically and honestly, is interference. a british intelligence project allegedly

targeted palestinians utilizing a contract that previously accused of supposing al queda in syria. as, according from the documents published by the electronic intifada, news outlets. our approach will use a mixture of offline and online primary research and seek to distinguish between whether the palestinian issue is an atmosphere rec issue or a key inflection point on the path to radicalization. using social listening technology, the team will examine the relevance of the israel palestine conflict. these findings will be integrated, establishing a rough estimation of palestinian issues brought to salience in the context of in region radicalization. the revelations claim, the intelligence contract has operated directly out of the u. k. jerusalem conflicts and represent the same group which inadvertently provided funding to al qaeda back in 2017. the intelligence agents were sent to several refugee comes in, jordan lebanon on the west bank to interview palestinians under the pretext of

academic research. when, in fact, they were there to monitor critics of western and israeli foreign policy. but we spoke with one of the investigative journalists who broke the story assa winstanley, who told us how the u. k. contractor had funded terrorist seeming to impose sharia law. scandalous rarely that the british government is still using this organization essentially to combat al qaeda when it has this proven track record of support and al qaeda. now of course they say that it was done inadvertently, but that denials at the time were very incongruous. i think they were very in my view, very unbelievable. because at 1st they still said all this is completely untrue. but then, you know, under question they said, well, you know, some of it did happen, but it was by accident. so why is the questions have to be asked now, why is the british government still using this contract? it doesn't make any sense if their actual aim is come by outright. 20 percent

of the budget was going to have to pay to essentially protection money to these al qaeda affiliated groups to them to to, to give them the security that they didn't have themselves. so what that meant in practice was the british government money was going to fund al qaeda. this was only one instance of that. one example of that happening, the so called free survey and police. and you know, the b c even came with an instance whereby they showing these the so called free 7 police were involved in al qaeda support. and al qaeda courts, quote unquote simple course courts where they are imposing their theocratic penalties on the population in the areas that they were occupying where they are beating the syrian government for

a time during the war in the country. and that involved in one case, her ethic, starting to death of a woman. the free syrian, please. we're closing the roads in order to enable this to happen in order to find a relevant role for itself within the obey of american imperialism. the british government and the british deep state has defined the services there performs of the hamper. and, and one of the things it does is essentially subs version in this kind of way is and these kind of intelligence operations. and they kind of trying to promote themselves as big, uniquely, able to do these things overseas. and of course, the reality is that the american empire has lots of such client states. the latest round of e u sanctions has now forced outlets who sees the activity of its production offers in germany. however, ortiz that german language channel will continue to operate on broadcast internationally from its headquarters in moscow. in a statement,

the r t d e says the move came as a result of the betrayal of fundamental rights and freedoms by the european union and the german government. r t d e productions regretfully announces the decision to cease the company's journalistic activities in germany. archie de productions has faced immense pressure from government media, businesses and others who have sought to curtail as journalistic work and to silence the voice as it brings to public attention. the e. u. in permitting the imposition of sanctions on media. freedoms has shown that the very values claims to define the core of its existence are without any substance. the freedom of the press to operate without hindrance does not exist in germany today. the r c d production office located in berlin has created a wide range of content for our german language channel. the outlet is face immense pressure ever since it was launched from moscow in december 2021. germany persuaded

a european satellite tv operator to shun our channel. our teeth, german language stream on youtube was also blocked the same day. it was lores following the start of rushes operation in ukraine. a year ago, a will. thirty's took unprecedented steps to shutting down artes activity inside the year. in march, a berlin court sided with germany's media regulated and banning our channel in the country. according to our t d. e. the latest you sanctions effectively cut off oxygen for our remaining staff inside germany. our t managing editor, alexey nickel of sais, international viewers won't have any trouble tuning into our tea despite the western bands. they are afraid of fair competition. even though our resources are so much smaller, our finance is so much smaller our abilities to broadcast our in comparable even so they got so scared of somebody challenging their agenda that they are just doing

what they're doing. and this really shows how weak they are, how weak is their agenda? people overall are not chip it. they're not it. they don't like to be treated as it is. if they are right to access the independent information, the alternative source of information is being stopped. they find inevitably, they will find the way to get this information based already happening, including in germany. it's so funny. the germans almost did not use any of the pan to access the hub in the band. i internet addresses at all. now the, the usage of the dance has grown exponentially in germany. i, it was very rewarding to hear that and somebody who believes that you can

completely block access to alternative information to alternative views is making a huge mistake. and they will learn that very fast. it can stay up to date with the latest by visiting our website, r t dot com and following on telegram channels. thank you for choosing audience in with by the middle of the 19th century, practically, the whole of india had been under the rule of the bridge.
