was on the bill says to submit it, would you what i see the senior policies, though, group you motivation says decent, you don't both . ah, with ukrainian troops have resumed artillery shelling of the city of dusk and destroyed a nearby gas pipeline. meanwhile, and archie cru observed the russian training camp for local don about forces are topics, skills in modern warfare. also ahead, we have a longstanding relationship with the soviet union as well as over at union with we will buy a little bit. we are in the as well minister tells our see that his country will continue to buy russian fuel as much as it was that is just by demands from western

countries to cut off imports from russia with actual from devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria surpassed the 7000 people with many victim believe to still be trapped among the rubble of collapse, buildings. russian emergency workers have been providing assistance in the search and rescue efforts. and to russia as a report by the o. p. c, w with a legit new evidence about chemical weapons in syria came from a 3rd party in violation of the organizations own rule. last envoy says the west does what it wants when it serves its own interest with when the western curators of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons are not interested in applying this rule, they practically give up on it with coming to live from the russian capital, this is r t international. i'm rachel blevins. here with the top stories of the our

welcome to the program. we began with a conflict in don bass, ukrainian force. it's have reportedly resumed artillery shelling of civilian areas and the regional capital city have done that. me, sounds of explosions have been reported in the city center. the details are currently being clarified. report say a nearby natural gas pipeline was hit, causing a massive blaze to a rock. at least 6 civilians are said to have been wounded by ukrainian showing throughout the on this republic over the past 24 hours. meanwhile, our t visited a russian military training camp in the dawn. that's republic. local forces, there have been learning how to effectively define their homeland through modern warfare. ortiz, roman coast reports, thousands of soldiers have already graduated from this trading sensor. and not only

operators offer ah aerial vehicles, but sir, pin gun operators as well. ah, from here they move different ports of the front to both the here in the nest republic and a little gas republic as well. and in other areas to ah, [000:00:00;00] with no idea video systems will revert to sort some of our guys want to go to the front line. they want to fight. they are risking their lives. of course, i can't see into any one sold, but what i can see is that our guys are determined to fulfill their combat missions

. the sensor also include sir, 1st aid training in extreme situations, full military personnel for all the forces. offer russia right now, the going to show us one of the elements that's very useful on the battlefield. another bri, manage improves even if there is no need to use improvised means. we live in the modern world. we have affordable, effective, and statistically proven tools. improvised means like bandages, from tampons and rubber bands are ineffective. sports trading sensor was born right here in the next people's republic due to the need for high tech warfare. initially it was a school for drawing operators, lushin center you any modern would require a lot of attention to a man drone systems on his legs. and that's definitely not all. we are constantly exchanging information with people on the front lines. so some people who are using the drones. so giving us feedback right now, it's a much bigger sensor,

had colors tactical medicine. it covers machine gun operators as well. to date. it has taught soldiers from a different divisions from a different platoons over the next people's republic. her army and legacy people's republic armies as well. and just to say it's one of the most important schools here are among costs ref artie. the next people's republic and hand finding as underway in the outskirts of the city of art here mosque also known as backlog. and archie crew managed to capture this footage from a drone there. the strategically important city and the donnette republic has been a fierce battle ground for both sides. over the last months, russian troops have been advancing in ukrainian hauled areas. they're cutting off supply routes for kids, forces fighters of the russian private military company. the wagner group are at

the forefront of the operation. we heard from some of them. we've just captured some nazis and mobilized ukrainian guys. the latter are just 18 and 19 years old, and they're in shock. they don't want to fight, so the mercenaries put them out in front and run away themselves. to georgian italian, american mercenary, they usually don't get involved in combat very much. they try to retreat because they are paid more alive than dead. i knew slum, knew me, smallest hours, there are fewer and fewer ukrainian fighters less so with facing more foreign is on the front line, but soon they will end and it will be even easier. the main thing is to move forward without stopping. our spirit is strong and there's only one path forward with us president nearby that has asserted as the country along with the nato military alliance is moving the world towards peace, was affording ukraine and the conflict against russia. he made those comments

during his state of the union address shortly after they know member states approve sending 100 battle tanks to key at together. we did on america always does it our best we lead were united nato. we build a global coalition. we stood against prudence, aggression, restorative ukrainian people. our nation is working for more freedom, more dignity, more, more peace, not just in europe and everywhere. you just heard him there saying that the united states standing for peace, but the facts are the united states is piling new weapons in prolonging the conflict, increasing the number of gaps. now there are tanks added to the battlefield in ukraine, and this is doing anything but creating peace. now was also important to note is that a large number of the american people are increasingly not with joe. by on this issue, this point we've got more than half of republicans saying that they basically field

united states is doing too much around ukraine. now that was only 18 percent back in april, but now it's more than a half. furthermore, we've got 63 percent of republicans, according to one poll coming forward and saying that they are opposed to providing more funding for ukraine and 32 percent only 32 percent of republicans want more funding for ukraine. but it's not only republicans, the rival political party that are opposing joe biden. at this point, we have a situation where 60 percent of americans feel that the country is moving in the wrong direction. 60 percent 70 percent of americans describe the state of affairs in the country as being poor. and let's also add that only one in 5 americans said that their economic situation improved over the course of the last year. however, if you listen to joe biden, you would believe that the, they just doing amazingly the economy is great. everything is grand,

he painted white different picture, and his arc now he was forced to talk about the issue of inflation. and when joe biden addressed the issue of inflation, what did he do? well, he blamed it on russian president vladimir. he said that it was the fault of the russian president, that the us facing inflation. well, the facts beg to differ. the reality is that the were the result of the united states that it's economic warfare against russia. barricading of russia, preventing of roger from exporting fertilizer than weeds and grain, and oil and natural gas and pushing off the world market. that's what's causing these issues. and in addition to that, there were already issues of inflation before the covert and damage had even started. so, blaming it on the russian president is just outrageous. furthermore, joe, by he used the speech to make some interesting comments about shining. here's what he's that we see competition, not conflict today,

where the strongest position and decades to compete with china or anyone else in the world make no mistake about it. as we made clear last week of china threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country and we did now. joe biden spoke of china as if he wanted friendly competition if he simply wanted to compete. but yet, at the same time, there were some rather threatening heated words, exchanged, the tone was not exactly one of friendship. and we see how the united states has tried to push china out of the computer chips market. they tried to taunt china around the issue of taiwan with nancy, close his recent trip. so the polls indicate 2 thirds of americans would prefer an easing of tension and de escalation with china. that's not exactly the tone we're hearing from biting the ministration. one point he was pounding the stage and saying, you know, he couldn't think of any world leader would want to trade places, season bang. people are trying to understand exactly what he meant by those

comments about the chinese president. it wasn't really clear, but it was said with a lot of bluster and anger as he was speaking. and at this point, polls show the american people are just not where joe biden is. that joe biden painted a picture of united states and if economy doing really, really well, the united states getting over the deep seated political division. those divisions were certainly apparent in the hall. there was certainly a fair amount of booing and echoing from jo biden's opponents. but if you listen to jo biden's word, you would believe that the country is moving in a good direction. that's not what americans believe. we heard from radio host and political commentator, steve gill, who asserts that pretty much nothing of what u. s. president joe biden says, is actually in line with the truth. he's promoting peace the same way that he's promoting unity in the united states when he got another partisan device at speech, hear nothing that he says it's consistent with the truth. and i think again,

whether it's the u. s. as a protector of world peace divide administration, primarily unity of bipartisanship. but when he continues to show the other side to just go to the polls, we can look to the actual numbers and inflation is still significantly higher than when joe biden took office. he can't blame it on food. and it's his policies that i started seeing a inflation spike, but he claimed when the prices went up that he had nothing to do with that. but when they come down, he tries to claim credit for it. and then when they go back up again, it's not like the balloon that was flying over the united states, up and down, over across by tries to greatly distract from what's actually going on. and i think the american people see through it when they go to the grocery store, things cost more, they go to the gas pump, things cost more, their paychecks are going. not as far as they used to. so what the president said last night simply doesn't connect with what americans are feeling and experience. in years, oil minister has affirmed an interview with

r t that his country will continue to by russian oil supplies. despite the western sanctions against moscow, he emphasized that india is a sovereign state that makes decisions based on its own needs, not on external pressure. let me be very clear. i've heard this word, but i study was i've never felt any pressure as a, as the minister, as the representative of a sovereign country will buy from wherever we buy. people said, don't buy, don't buy, but just tell me india and ought to buy from russia. and let's say india or to buy only from the previous country. would the price go up or down? so i think it stands to reason. we have a longstanding relationship with the soviet union soviet union, when i send patricia, we will, by the way, but whatever we have to, as far as nation variations concerned, we ended 31st march 2022 with 0.2 percent import group from russia.

today to shies, i got december because i showed a lot of class in between it began, then we're going to look the country which has to meet the consumption demands of a large population will always source from wherever they can get this thing and the right price delivery and so on the policy i'm also on mr. bodie, it's a, it's a fiercely independent and dictated by a national interest. india 1st policy the interview took place during india's energy week forum with tom freshman industry, executives and attendance signaling. a boost and energy ties between those countries, companies from about 50 nations and more than 30 senior government officials from around the world have been taking part in the event in the backdrop western states have been bracing themselves for a new price cap on russian oil. the indian fuel minister also underline the importance of investing and more environmentally friendly renewable resources. we

have opened up an international bio dues alliance or signature of the united states, brazilian india, or liddy. then, i'm sure other countries will join because you don't even if you out a major producer of hydrocarbon, you still would have an interest in biofuels. you could do both simultaneously in a conglomerate on mano india. the 3rd largest consumer of oil is expected to use. it's g 20 presidency is a platform to set up international biofuel alliances in your thieves. it's proposed biofuel lines, could draw interest from countries such as russia, brazil, amongst others in this really could be a new road ahead in the, in no g sector as the oil diplomacy in order in the world is fast changing courtesy, western sanctions against russia. and that are price caps that are imposed on

russian crude by the g 7. some things are abundantly clear for the news, those are and who the beneficiaries up right now, we're still balance to surplus because china has still yet to fully rebound. are we going to run out of spare production capacity potentially by 2024? you start to have a serious problem. and also, let's look at a big new point here. if a russian petroleum product is processed in a 3rd country that it's no longer considered old russian origin, and the russian price gap then does not apply. now in this entire process, the biggest game as a country is such as india and china. if a russian petroleum product is processed by being blended in a 3rd country, other than russia with a product from another 3rd country origin, resulting in a different product than the russian petroleum product will no longer be considered of russia origin in the price cap will no longer apply, no, as you and the west keeps a straight face. as time passes,

it's becoming more and more clear as these sanctions really are a big question mark and that the gillman market may actually not be able to so live without russian oil. a minor earthquake has it israel in recent hours with residents reporting tremors and several cities across the country that comes, that met aftershocks from a devastating series of earthquakes that rippled through turkey and syria and recent days, claiming more than 7000 lives. one of those earthquakes was recorded at a magnitude of 7.8, the region strongest in almost a century. in the most affected areas and turkey and syria, many people still remain trapped under the rubble of collapse. buildings survivors are being pulled from the degrees even after more than 36 hours from the initial earthquake. voices can be heard coming from beneath the degrees. as the desperate search for survivors continues, turkey is still in ruins. more than 5000 buildings in the country have collapsed. as

a search for survivors continues. russian emergency teams have been working on the ground and the disasters l. brushing fruits are afforded to have rescued more than 40 people. so far. we heard from a local reporter with the latest details. hold on one moment. mike is via the nuclear, one of the areas most affected by the color. mon marashi. earthquake is the city of kazi. on tip. there are ongoing search and rescue operations and collapse. buildings are being dismantled, we up, we are now standing outside a former apartment complex's called this was a 5 story buildings that as you can see, there was a rescue operation underway to find people who may be still trapped under the rubble. because as i mentioned earlier, the se in city of gaussian tap is one of the most affected cities from 6 to 581 buildings were destroyed. here, the 481 people died. and another 3750 were injured. at least 10 turkish provinces were impacted and tremors could be felt hundreds of

kilometers away. among the countries mostly affected, neighboring syria, already crippled by years of war, suffered mass devastation when seismic shock spread into the northern part of the country. so let's take a look here at the deadly aftermath. so far more than 6000 deaths have been confirmed inter kia with over 37000 people injured, syrian authority sovereign boarded more than 1000 killed and 2000 injured. the syrian city of aleppo near the turkish border was one of the area's most effected. residents were forced to flew their homes and have been gathering at shelters where they are provided with necessary accommodations. rush and emergency workers have been helping rescue people in the disaster zones. russia defends ministry, which is overseeing those efforts, says that they have managed to save more than 40 people from under the rubble of collapse buildings. among that, there was a man who spent several days without water and food,

as he was trapped amid heavy degrees. russian emergency workers have been providing medical assistance and humanitarian aid to local residents in the affected areas. that's as western sanctions, particularly from the u. s. have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. r g correspondents, fawton khan has the details. but the search and rescue operations in syria are ongoing. the rubble is being cleared and victims bodies are being extracted. these operations are being conducted in the back here job lay aleppo and it live. there is no final number of victims yet as the information is being a faded from time to time. it is known that the total number killed in the earthquake in all regions of syria has surpassed a 1000 people. the number of ensured, of course, is much higher here in la takia. all govern service is responsible for eliminating

the earthquakes aftermath. our working day and night, the rescue teams are made up of various forces, the military police security services, the health ministry, and local governments. they are making every possible effort within their capabilities. however, as the mission, head of the international red cross in syria, no to that a press conference due to the western sanctions, syria does not have enough resources to overcome this catastrophe and needs support equipment ambulances and much more to overcome this humanitarians catastrophe rescue team. same groups from allied countries and arab nations have begun to arrive in syria to assist in doing with this humanitarian catastrophe. rescue teams from russia, iraq and algeria have already arrived in syria, as well as plays with the humanitarian aid at rescue team has already been formed

in lebanon, which will go to syria to provide assistance. in addition, many arab countries have already declared their readiness to provide assistance and support to syria, united against sanctions vast the message from the southern african nation of zimbabwe. as it partners with their rod and a stand against what they describe as unjustified restrictions imposed on that by western powers. our 2 countries are resolutely united against unilateralism, illegal sanctions and other unjust unilateral measures that have been imposed on us by some western countries. at the end of last week, a miranda of understanding was signed between the countries during a meeting of the joint economic committee in the ronnie and capital, they agreed to strengthen cooperation in a number of sectors including trade, mining and tourism. tehran and her already expressed that they're also ready to

further expand those economic ties. all that comes in mid us sanctions imposed on both countries and recent decades. the u. s. a. q as in bob wayne government of being a threat following the reelection of the president at the time robert mcgarvey than bob white has denied all of the accusations and described the sanctions. is the coordinated attack. the u. s. has imposed sanctions against iran due to its nuclear program, claiming it was trying to make a nuclear bomb. or ron has repeatedly rejected those allegations. political communications professor at the university of iran for a lot. as it says that the us is trying to isolate sanction countries from the world and thereby ruined their economies. the united states, as you know, once to isolate, is on. so whenever the opportunity is fully on to find new partners, new friends, to increase cooperation. but to other countries, it's an opportunity that union officials will take it will take advantage of aim of

american sanctions against love. it is to cause economic difficulties full that country and iran is able to help symbol way to make sure that the u. s. policy against the people of them always struggling to succeed. what when understand from american foreign policy? is that no matter what you do, i'm in the hands would never be satisfied with it as long as it considered a country an enemy country. they continued to engage in pressure, illegal activities against that country. ah, russia as a report by the o. p. c. w with alleged new evidence about chemical weapons in syria, came from a 3rd party in violation of the organizations own rules mosque. as envoy says that western powers have accepted that material only because it serves their own interest. really, so suppose appreciation restore the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons as

a strict rule about the sequence of actions to ensure the safety of physical evidence received. according to this rule, the evidence must be collected directly by o, p c w inspectors. the rest should in theory, be swept aside or there are some other conditions applying in that regard with you, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that o p. c. w officials have a rather loose approach to this rule. ortiz darnell, the quarter brings us the details about the investigation process and the apparently hypocritical western approaches to the issue. another report, another dubious western attempt to back up its accusations that the syrian government used chemical weapons against civilians in duma back in 2018. this time though, p c. w is claiming it has new information indicating that there was a high concentration of chlorine gas,

where the attack supposedly took place. something that for some reason wasn't included in the fact finding mission report in 2019, all of the sudden 4 years later they decide to tell us shows was due to new solutions. in particular, they are referring to the fact that some new sample has appeared collected by a 3rd party. what is this 3rd party? nothing has been said about it. they just say, take our word for it. meanwhile, the sample or evidence that appear just now in the investigation and identification teams report was not in the official report of the international criminal court special mission, which was presented to the participating states in the spring of 2019. that is, the sample did not exist at that time, and now it has suddenly appeared somehow no explanations have been given at all. and it is clear why that is in the interests of this trio of aggressors,

the u. s. france and britain. it is also important for them to avoid international responsibility. even more bizarre is that the o, p. c. w did not even collect that information, but credits some clandestine 3rd party with the find a 2nd supplementary sample collected by a 3rd party location to in duma, on the 8th of april 2018, and whose chain of custody the i t was able to reconstruct between the data was collected and the date it was 1st received and analyzed by no p. c. w. designated laboratory on the 24th of july 2018, was analyzed by a 3rd o p c w. designated laboratory. by the way, that's in blatant violation of the o. p. c. w's own rules. in case of the integrity of a psalm police, questionable, for example, when the sample was not under o, p, c, w, custody, such a sample will not be accepted for o. p. c. w verification purposes, but as is often the case, the west seems to have decided it's got its own set of rules to play by reducing

chemistry organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has a strict rule about the sequence of actions to ensure the safety of physical evidence received. according to this rule, the evidence must be collected directly by o, p. c w inspectors. the rest should in theory be swept to side, or there are some other conditions applying in that regard. it would not be an exaggeration to say that o p. c, w officials have a rather loose approach to this rule. this no report fails to mention though, that the chemical substance it sites as an indication of the use of chlorine gas was also found in areas unrelated to the alleged attack in question. the 2019 report specifically mentions the alleged chemical substance was present underneath a field hospital in duma. the same hospital where the al qaeda linked to white helmets, films, there choreographed emergency response to aid. the apparent victims of what they

said was a chemical attack. the same attack, which is now widely believed to have been staged. we were in the basement. my mother told me that we had run out of food and wouldn't have anything to eat until tomorrow. i heard noise outside, somebody was shouting that we had to go to the hospital. so we went there. when i can mean some people groped me and started pouring water over my head. after almost 6 months of investigations, i can prove, without a doubt that the duma hospital seen was staged. no fatalities occurred in the hospital. the cherry on top of the story is that the white helmets are most likely that 3rd party cited in the p. c. w's latest report, not exactly the most reliable source, considering they seem to be experts and faking chemical attacks. and that's to say nothing of all the whistle blowing that came out of the original duma investigating team civil rights attorney. robert patillo says western powers use these types of investigations to justify their actions in the middle east,

particularly as they seek to oppose the government of syrian president. a thought when you look at the parties involved in the strike from theory was the united states, the u. k, i was the, the natal powers and we've seen them use the jump, the gun method when it comes to the rules based order. previously, one needs to only look at the iraq and afghanistan wars, where the justification was very flimsy, evidence of weapons of mass destruction who turned out to not exist at all. yet over a 1000000 civilians died of the conflict. so there's always an interest by the western powers to justify their actions and being able to strike anywhere on earth with no declaration of war with no will be or impunity when no other nations or no other organizations share. that same privilege will be international stage. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all of the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back
