3:04 pm
where the most of the fighting happens. now the city center which came under the shelling today, it has sort of roomed immune from such attacks for a while. just a quick reminder, the city has been shelled relentlessly by the ukrainian side to self the since the civil strife broke out in ukraine. back in 2014, with the attacks intensifying since russia launched a. it's a military campaign in ukraine. now again, the city center for throughout these years it has been immune from these attacks because while the ukrainian side couldn't reach it with the weapons that it had. but since the nato made artillery fell into the hands of ukrainian troops. well, the entire territory of dynette is vulnerable. there are several hotspots all across the front line. it arguably the biggest hot spot is right now. the city of buck moved or charm of square. it says the domain of rushes, wagner's company,
3:05 pm
and they are showing some really impressive results there. we've just returned from the village of paris could be of car. it is a small town, but very important. it has changed hands quite recently. and basically, it allows of the russian forces to kind as well to flank the city of buck moved from the north. as another divisions of the wagner company are attempting the same from the south. now the city of our toll mosque is already while it is it, the situation has come close to it being as surrounded there, of course, quite a few settlements and villages and towns that have to change hands and fall into the hands of the wagner grew. but they are, while they are showing results and they are moving forward. now at the same time i hear in the la guns republic, the main hotspot are well, it stretches from the town of cream and night towards the town of spots of around
3:06 pm
the town of criminal. the russian forces have also managed to show some gains in the forest or in the national park. this is what it used to be before the war and before the mines that have been buried in its soil. and there the russian regular army is moving forward slowly, taking over one ukrainian stronghold after the other. and also the russian troops in the past week or so, it has managed to come back and gain a foothold in the hulk of region capturing a couple of villages. just a quick reminder, of course, this happens after russia's retreat from the region last year in the full can tell the story to bring you today. the russian defense ministry has claim. ukraine is plotting to frame russia with a stage, the attack on a nuclear facility. and with the help of a european ally ahead of the 11th emergency special session of the un general assembly keep continues to prepare
3:07 pm
a large scale provocation to cues russia of alleged extreme violations of the convention on nuclear safety during the special military operation. to implement this provocation, several containers with radioactive substances who delivered from a european state to ukraine, bypassing customs inspection, to use to contaminate the area around one of the radiation has this facility's controlled by key f. while to discuss this less cross to new york and speak to journalists and or 3rd, daniel lazar dunning, welcome to the program. if i can just flesh this sites a little bit, if the russian m. o d's at remarks are correct. what they're saying is that this situation now that ukraine believes they can essentially do any thing, get away with it as there will be no condemnation from the west. your view. well, that assumes the, the m o d statement is, is correct, but, but listen, i but the,
3:08 pm
the ukraine was shelling the chaper ratio, nuclear power plant for months and blemish on russia the entire time. and they did get away with it in the sense that the press essentially adopted the cranium line and blamed russia accused russia showing its own plants. it made no sense, but the press power to that quite due to flight. so the answer is yes. the ukraine believes they consider term reality on its head and do so successfully because the western media will go along just a few hours after what the rest of them of the said key have been, claim russia is about to begin. nuclear. military drill is, do you see anything in the, in the timing of ukraine's warning on learned well, i think the rhetoric is heating up dramatically. i think that the, the, the west is really on the edge because of the russian military offensive as the gun
3:09 pm
. it's that west is quite worried as to how the brain will perform and. ready therefore, it is going on the offensive, at least rhetorically. and so therefore, it's leaning around while charges, kamala harrison's accusing a rush of war crimes. and suggesting that the, that russia maybe maybe officially listed as a terrorist state, a terrorist sponsoring state. and when the chinese there'd suggest a peace negotiations, the u. s. turned around and the queues, china actually and you know, eating the russian war program. so the rhetoric out of the west is getting very hot, very heavy. and i think it's just the size and they are really worried as to how this war is going on going forward. just on one of the particulars all this, if the radioactive material was supplied by western allies in europe as the russian
3:10 pm
m. o. d is claiming what would you see as the implications of well, if that is actually happening, that would be quite reckless, quite dangerous. it would up the anti tremendously. it would essentially, you know, bring the world closer. one step closer to some kind of nuclear exchange, and that would be the course to be the worst outcome possible out of this conflict . so therefore, that's a very worrisome the charge is very serious and that the charge proves to be correct. then it's a very, very dangerous development. if we can turn attention to cooperation, daniel between russia and china, and we can listen together to what us senator lindsey graham, had to say. as regards beijing here, any country that comes to their age should pay a heavy price and china provides leave
3:11 pm
a weapons. they will get sanctioned and to the chinese. if you jump on the train now, you're dumber than dirt. it would be like buying a ticket on the titanic after you saw the movie. don't do this. pretty bombastic stuff, but you have got similar figures in washington saying much the same thing. china for its part says it won't tolerate us threats against its relations with russia. it will do business on its own terms. is beijing right to stand firm in that regard? of course, of course, i mean let's listen the, the rhetoric out of washington is out of control. we saw this, this crazy incidents involving 4 balloons, one of which apparently originated in china and 3 others. we know may have been released by america by american civilian hobbyist, hoppey clubs, and the u. s. response was completely over the top. the u. s. is,
3:12 pm
is wrong with war fever. the rhetoric is just, you know, on, on full boil. the statement by the senator is ridiculous and, and the u. s. as nancy, moving towards some kind of military confrontation with china. so this is after sparking a war in ukraine. the u. s. is not satisfied and wants to assess sensually spark, some kind of military confrontation in the western pacific. extraordinary, all was a chemical i from journalists and or 3rd done, the lists are done thanks for your time and your thoughts in the program to them. thank you. an irish european parliament minister has lashed out. it's the institution for it's quote, subservient behavior towards the u. s. in light of recent revelations about the nord stream, explosions, a surprise winning report or sima hearse. probably the most legendary investigator journalist alive just maurice. a report that presents detail claims that on
3:13 pm
president biden's orders to us with norway's help blew up the north stream pipelines. does the yield care these need to know who did it? or do you want to know her says the us did it. because asked him, do you have some going to do it? or are these asked him questions any more? have we become saw, subservient. has the you become so subservient to us empire? i just got even asked him at the dentist. some background then to to remark, seymour her says investigation was published earlier this month. breaking down in detail, who he said was behind september's attacks on the pipelines. the pilots, her award winning journalist report concluded the u. s. use the cover of annual nato naval drills in the baltic sea to plant sea for explosives on the russian infrastructure, and then destroy it in collusion with norway. the reason being, he believes both countries are big energy suppliers and wanted to take over the lucrative you market for themselves and cut european economic ties with most when
3:14 pm
the process the last thing, the white house look, i'm telling you they're never gonna say they're never going to say, i surrender, they're just never going to do it again. so they're going to keep the story going and they'll put the pressure people not to talk. and it won't matter when people talk, look, there are other people. there's a, there's a community in the pipeline business. good. they know what happened, but they, they're not going to talk because they want to keep on getting contracts. well, earlier my colleague rory sushi spoke to independent journalist jewelry at who inter forward seymour hersh bites his a bombshell report after it was just made public. was a tough interview. he's well known to be a difficult man to do interview because he goes off on a lot of tangents. but they're all very interesting. but he says, but to 0 in on something new about the his article was difficult because he's working on another piece. he's doing a follow up, but seymour was very forthcoming and a lot of areas of what you think coach is in
3:15 pm
a tough position. right. is he going to get threats? so has he been getting any threats to think now he's not on the edge because they just ignore everybody's ignoring it. like it didn't happen. whitehouse denied it. no reasons. and i did that. it was a white one west. the me, the white, the western media being so quiet about joe, when i talked to see more, a lot of our interviews about the state of the media right now. and i was subservient, use that word again. that corporate report is hard towards government officials, you know, i worked for 25 years and the mainstream media for the wall street journal for the boston globe. i note from the inside. we knew what we were expected of us to on. foreign affairs stories was to publish the official line and don't deviate from that. if you did, you're in trouble. irish m e p. make wallace a. he says the use behavior is subservient in the wake of understanding, essentially who blew up one of the biggest energy pipelines. do you think subservient is the right word here, joe? oh, yes. we already knew this, that you were western. your backs is
3:16 pm
a vassal look at germany. she all of shells. the chancellor stood next to biden in february of last year. was it sometime last year just before the invasion? and he said if that, if the invasion of your crane occurs, we're going to shut down north stream to here. they also hit north street one. and he was at how can you do that if germany controls and by said, we don't work, we can do it. we and we have other official saying similar things. and she said nothing. he stood there. he allow his pipeline to be blown up. they have to know the u. s, that it is not the suspect. but why, why, why do they seem so afraid to say something that to push back to joe? well, 1st of all, they're still u. s. troops in europe to look at the entire post. more history was only childs the goal when you stood up to nato and take them out. and france withdrew. during the area of the lead up to the rock of a 2003, germany and france joined russia and china to vote against their resolution to
3:17 pm
authorize the invasion of iraq. those are the only 2 times in 506070 years now, where western european lead is decided to go against united states. look at my call . he said in a conference that he didn't believe in regime change in, in russia. he didn't believe a huge, always talked about a new security architecture in europe, and then he does nothing. so at least he speaks, even shouts made some good noises at the beginning that we have to accommodate rochard abs, security interests. they do nothing till their instincts might be good and they get pulled back. don't ask me because i don't know what they have on these people. they could destroy them. maybe they're political careers. who knows what else, but the united states has complete dominance in europe. they are hurting the german economy. they're hurting your economy because of the sanctions that have not heard russia to heard in europe and european just stand there and change it. instead of being independent sovereign block that can have good relations with russia and united states. this is what we need and this is what we don't get get to another of
3:18 pm
a headline story. syrian officials already dealing with the aftermath of last week's deadly earthquake. say at least 5 people have been killed on 15 others winded in, in this really missile strike. on damascus, the authorities say a residential apartment building was struck in the center of the nation's capital. the most of the incoming missiles were intercepted, but some managed to hit a number of points in running the city. and the, this residential building was directly hedge with a number of other nearby buildings also damage. that was the 1st major attack and serious since the series of quakes earlier this month, devastated northern parts of the country, killing thousands there on the neighboring tricky a damascus based or less interested. and if it's a military and
3:19 pm
a statement that what happened was that about $22.00 a m local time there has, there were the new radio aggression radio here out the right targeting areas in and around the syrian capital la, damascus, happened from the direction of the occupied the golan and as a result of the attack, as these 5 people were killed, one of them is a military personnel and 15 others injured. now, of course, most of those are civilians. you can see just behind me, as there was a building in an area called jefferson's in the heart of the capital, damascus. and this is a very big hole that was caused by the israeli macau. that's landed right over here at the instance of this residential building. now despite the fact that this quarter, yes, includes a government establishment like the ministry of interior, the prime minister's office. yes. this area in particular is only areas that i'm
3:20 pm
from one where i am standing at the people woke up hearing the course. they didn't know 1st is that an earthquake? it's a terrorist attack. they didn't actually realize it was going to am. what was actually happening windows rows, most of the millions of those residential building collapse towards the building close to this area. there is an iranian cultural center, but it has not been damaged or affect the pac directly by the question. behind me is completely a residential area and this is why we have to wait and see if there will be any detail coming out from the radio side to tell the world why they attack this sign up. i think that these really fine, always use pretext of attacking iranian targets in theory yet, and a bit to try to justify it for the international community. it's a violation of sovereignty in attack, but you know, the billions and military personnel in theory yet. but at the end of the day,
3:21 pm
when we go to areas hit every time, it's either a syrian army or it's a civilian area. it's not a secret that yes, there are uranian military advisors assisting the through an army in the war on terror. this is at the request of the syrian government army. it's not a secret, it's a legitimate right for the 3, and 5 to ask for helps from its allies. but what is illegal? what is against international law? what is against the sovereignty is a talking. it's sovereign, they attacking a country that has just come out from a massive earthquake. people are suffering already and they're suffering. israel has yet to comment on the situation. the syrian foreign minister has called the aggression quotes, crime against humanity. while moscow has also condemned, these really are a strikes labeling them on acceptable, particularly as other countries are actively helping damascus cope with the consequences of the recent natural disaster or the or we discussed the talk with
3:22 pm
serene politician. kodak ally was a nice place to be in the middle of the mosque. was it just a civilian building? all the people, if it's, as i told you, it made it over the mass was oh, the people who they are going to these places is just civilian people. and the which survey yesterday was really a shock in the middle of the of that night yesterday, syria which she's the suffering under as quick until now. and the all that countries the. 6 i'm going to the head of the syrian victims, se them people. my analysis is about why is that i had we were since the beginning of the equity in syria and turkey. we saw there is a stop attacking gun, syria we. we were thinking that it is they should stop really because in many
3:23 pm
countries they are going to help celia, people thought to send and through the and 4th of syria, many at oakland, many 8 booth celia this at that. gov. is that a that means that they are looking at the as quick also as an ad blinking issue and not too many thin initial. and this is really an advanced, advanced level in the hands of the syrian people. 10 people they are looking at that they was thank anthony. they didn't send and now is an m and a i was suddenly in the middle of the night, they are attacking at the head of damascus and they are attacking their civilians. this a 12 years all get on war against syria. it's the luck of the major hall building was damaged and many people were killed dual and national hospitals, where many people they came to this. so hospitals not sized at least

3:25 pm
unsaid people there are raising key questions about the nato alliance. one of the questions that's been asked repeatedly by speaker after speaker after speaker is why is there even a needle? why does nato exist? once upon a time, nato existed to protect the united states and western europe from the soviet union . the soviet threat is united states no longer exists. so why is there a nato? is it to fight in afghanistan or iraq? because that's what's happened over the last 20 years. and why does it keep moving eastward, closer and closer, and closer to russia. despite promises repeated promises by the united states and other nato countries, that such expansion wouldn't happen. so yes, a lot of the speakers here are, are say not only that nato should not be involved in supplying weapons and material
3:26 pm
and money if you pray. but that nato should exist in the 1st place. okay, just another story to fit in before we go to break. india is actually the bbc of tax evasion, saying the british state broadcaster fail to pay sufficient duties on its income in the south asian country. during the course of a survey, the department gathered several evidences which indicate that tax has not been paid on certain remittances which have not been disclosed as income in india. the allegations made rising tensions over a recent controversial documentary by the b b. c. about in the prime minister and render motive, the program claims movie, who's a hindu at discriminated against muslims, however, a spokesperson for the pm's party and says that tax case is not a retaliation for those claim. the b, b. c. i've been doing a lot ation of consist pink, while you should've done for breaking news. it's been indulging in, in, in
3:27 pm

3:28 pm
a both in new delhi as well as moved by what they're saying is that this is a government, nor through the acting out of revenge as it is being pointed out in several publications. even the opposition in their own expected lines, really doing that, but essentially what, what he's saying is that the government had to do that. even if they could have just done it way back. you know, they didn't have to wait for all these weeks really also what they're trying to see is the b, b, c, a white being employs and sean stack to buy off. roading of them be their employees as free lancers, for example, and bdc has been a long time offender. and every time a sylvie is conducted by the tax department, it is carried out only when there are repeated violations. so the question being asked if, why did b b c nor respond to all the notices that were being sent to them?
3:29 pm
remember at this stage, the tax, the baldwin, the docs officials, are calling get us. so are we not to read oral surge air in my quantization, which is all for now, while i was the national spokesperson of the park, the jones body, he's cast, a guy categorically denied any link between the bbc documentary and these surveys that are being carried out was essentially they're saying is that nobody know broadcaster is above the, the law of the land you've a foreign company is working in india. they have to comply by the rules by the tax rules. and if you're not doing that, that india have the right to conduct. so wave of the so called raids as they're being called on these companies. nuclear power should more countries be making strides to develop their own industry? that's got chris, the i talking next in her new show, the cost of everything stay close for the
3:30 pm
