very toyotas quickly on gv, i so mercenaries from south africa here. and so i saw yes, instructors, germans, bullish ukrainians from the i dar and as of battalions as well as the ukrainian paratrooper brigade. there was a strong group here. are you made up of all they've got, they didn't want to give up our cham offscreen, the road we cut off was very important for them. they were using it to deliver ammunition and food. but now that road is no more thorough, as well as is mercenary school. well, now you have to brace yourself for some truly gruesome images. the defensive lies here in this building are held by you k mercenaries. this is one of them or what's left of one of them as they try to deliver 1st aid, we clearly failed close quarter combat is with wagner. excelsior fighter, who was among those who stormed this building, shares with me what kind of resistance they had too overwhelmed with machine
3:05 am
gunners held up defenses in every stage. hearing those, are they worry than shooting in corridors to the door? it didn't help them, though. shouldn't our guys know what to do to finish the entered the building the right way and covered each other little. ah, the ukrainian command used this factory warehouse to shelter a tank ammunition crates are scattered all over the place around lean. wagner fighters are telling me that the everything indicates that the ukrainians they were planning to hold these positions for a long, long time. but well, this particular sector, it fell in less than a week, which means these are improved. some tank tracks spoke there. they made a trench probably for tank ammunition. they planned to hold this position for a very long time on the road and did a lot of preparation for that. but they managed to keep it for only 5 days. just
3:06 am
uncle chance, which is what happened to the tank. i went on over there, about a kilometer and a half from here. it stir, it was blown off. here. russia has tightened the noose further on ukraine's garrison in back. moot. because all this is a prelude to the resounding crescendo of the fool of the city to the 2. 0, wagner. is done of reporting to the dumbass. see where the situation trends on the battlefield this monday months, 9 years since the bloodiest event of gives 2014 my done protests that turning point in you going to feed, paved the way the current conflict later in the program on t will take a closer look at that controversial month, this week marks a year since russia began, as well as your peroration in ukraine, amid the anniversary us present job. i'm is scheduled to visit poland. one of the
3:07 am
main proponents of western support for kids as the american leader is set to deliver his own views of the conflict of the contributor rachel madison. as more just presidential biden is set to give a tough guy, speech directed at russian president vladimir putin. and apparently figures that he needs to be within shouting distance from the russian border in order to do that. so poland is just as close to russia as ukraine is. and is certainly a lot safer. right now, given that it's one of the top military powers in europe and well by the needs a safe space which ukraine isn't. i mean, you loaded ukraine up with weapons. einstein, what did you think was going to happen? so this is global firepower, index ranks. poland 3rd in europe, behind france and italy. now you might wonder, how could this possibly be given that poland g d p is much less than these other western nations? well, american funding has been pouring into poland over the past few years. the u. s.
3:08 am
congress approved $288000000.00 worth of foreign military financing last year, under the guise of countering russia. warsaw has also scored $34000000.00 in security assistance to improve intelligence capabilities and military mobility over the past 5 years. with $1200000000.00 in sales of u. s. defense articles to poland just between 20192021. that's according to the us state department. so with washington playing sugar daddy, it's not exactly a surprise that poland is in lock step with washington strategy in ukraine. instead of saying that russia cannot win or ukraine cannot be defeated, we should change the paradigm and say, ukraine must win. russia must be defeated, germany and france. the economic and military powers of europe have at least tried at times to temper the gung ho washington. rhetoric around the you frame conflict.
3:09 am
frances president, my coal was lambasted by eastern european countries, leaders and diplomats for at times suggesting that negotiations, including respect for russia, were the way to peace. but poland has been at very forefront of pushing for increasingly heavier weapons for ukraine, including fighter jets and said earlier this year that they didn't care if germany was going to give poland authorization to re export. it's left for tanks to ukraine . they were just going to go ahead and do it any way. worse was own anti russian rhetoric also routinely perpetuates the image that poland is in some kind of endless showdown with moscow. probably not promoted lose politicians for a 123 years will cry. ports of puddle into the sar is through one place. if someone says, rosky mute or meaning a russian world or russian piece up, we say absolutely no order. anything but russia,
3:10 am
anything but the russian sphere of influence. so remarks like this, amplify washington's and nato's attempts to portray eastern europe as being under constant threat from mos those sphere of influence. and what's the solution to that? well, more western weapons, troops and funding for poland. of course, last july, ukraine granted to all polish citizens the right to stay at work without a permit receive medical treatment and collect all sorts of benefits. that is after poland did the exact same thing for ukrainians. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has even commented on the increasingly blurred lines between the 2 countries or what he calls the brotherhood becky east. see mama, this is a historic moment. there was a historic strength between our nations, a historic unity between ukrainians and poles. mia. so biden's speech will no doubt touch on how the u. s. is leading the world on ukraine, meaning the western world,
3:11 am
but hey, minor detail, right? and it's no coincidence that he'll be saying it in front of the country or from the country. busy which aside from ukraine, is the most keen on doing washington's bidding. poland is basically at this point, the dutiful mistress waiting in the wings and being showered with gifts and cash, bye and time until washington gets tired of all the drama with ukraine and needs a new means gleese in its crusade against russia. oh the, your sal, hundreds of the will have march in am and 2 will rally in washington dc, expressing outrage that u. s. involvement and the grain conflict. the rally was cold rage against the war machine protest is demanded and to u. s. military hayes, he van, called for russia and ukraine to seek peace agreement to resolve a conflict. organized by libertarians and peebles policy, the demonstration was billed as the country's largest anti war rally says the us
3:12 am
invasion of iraq in 2003, the rent featured speakers from across the political spectrum, including former senator ron power, who ex presidential nominee fancy government and political commentator, i canadian, should be done because of the whistle blows, program john viagra observed the annual protests on location. he gave us a rundown of the demonstrators and main. de la. i wanted to give you a little bit of an idea of what this event has been like today. first of all, it's much larger than i think any of us had expected. we've had a myriad of fantastic speakers, important people from across the political spectrum, the cost of the war machine itself is a huge issue. it's not only the 100 plus 1000000000 ah, being spent to keep the war going. you know, it's also the cost of the war machine,
3:13 am
which is now about $2.00 thirds of our discretionary budget. and just one more point about that, every dollar that's spent killing people effectively in ukraine. the political leaders that we have in the united states have totally decoupled from the american people, and they're not representing the needs and the wishes of the american people. you know, we see the train to rail meant and are the issues that we're having in america with inflation in the government. that is, act actually operating on other motives such as, you know, maintaining world to germany. first and foremost, which only bill of the only really benefits the oligarchy. last the last 8 years, the military budget has gone up, but not only does, does it go up, it's that congress gives them more than they asked for. they get their $48000000000.00 more in the buyouts requests in saying i and, and, you know, it's just one fiasco after another. and what so frustrating here is that because the media, the corporate media functions as an echo chamber, it's that nothing is ever put in context and nothing. all the people around us who
3:14 am
are the most educated people we know, you know, we live in the dc area, happen to be the most propagandized because they consume the most news under the banner of legacy publications like new york times, or washington post that they trust we were told that ukraine had neo nazis, that were officially armed by the ukrainian military by congress. because they finally inserted in the 2018 and dia provision, banding arms and training to the as a battalion. now are told that the as a battalion or heroes and defenders, and so it's so offensive to me that nazis are being revered by a government that we support, whose salaries we're literally paying. another important thing that's being discussed today is, is the idea that here in america, people aren't asking some of the most fundamental questions. why is there a nato? why do we need nato? why is there not a peace movement in congress?
3:15 am
why is it that no one, including most of the american people, objects to the fact that 2 thirds of the federal budget discretionary budget goes to the national defense or what is really the national offense? these are fundamental questions that every american should be asking. we're hoping that that because of these events today, this demonstration, which is really something of an education for the american people, that those questions will be asked and answered in the coming presidential election . i'm john kerry, aka reporting for our tea in washington. a russian parliament member in charge of internal international affairs was i've won the e u. that is suppose, sir, it suppose ally the u. s. and forces nuclear have measures that are real threats to the blog security. he made those comments of the e. u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, asserted that african nations should be wary of strengthening that size with the
3:16 am
allegedly im, peerless stick. russia, i travel around the world and particularly in the countries of the south, i see how powerful is the russian narrative that wants to reduce the war in ukraine to a conflict between the west and rush is powerful, accusing us of double standard. we must debunk this narrative and explain how rush acts as an imperialist power. president macro referred to a neo colonial power. yes, it is. what it is. let's call it by its name. it is an imperial attitude from a powerful neighbour that wants to take control of some country that belongs to its political sphere. we heard from a mozambique based legal expert, and alice vill card the f as well as independent journalist. luc grew very. both of them said rushes. relations with african nations are based on equal partnerships on that is of great concern for western powers. i believed it is. the one now propaganda rests in country particular because we have
3:17 am
a good relationship with the russian government in no, to ali mozambique, but of all countries in africa in particular. so that's why sometimes you know that, that type of the comment about the influence of the russia government right now. the new colonial is it's, it's from the other side, the side, the west and countries were close to eat. so if you see there were some countries that have to need to wonder to make or to do their wonderful things in the african continent, but don't do anything. clearly, europe is losing its allies, people and in the global south are much more distant to european positions. when we say that, we want to defend universal values as mister separate says, he says, worse than that, he says we must prove that we europeans continue to be
3:18 am
a global actor. this is self per situation. he's not sure about it. we must remain a global actor. does that mean that we are not anymore? yes or mr. laterals on the truck, several travels in into african states has been a success. so clearly they trust rushmore. china more as well for the economy corporation nowadays, and not european powers because they know how it goes. you know, process like is dead forever. that's what they repeat to falls to mr. mr. mccall, who speaks of the fact that russia is an imperial power that wants to take own own, you know, to take to conquer its neighbors. and what did we do offer essentially, that's incredible. to us a has declared that all french troops must immediately leave the country as a previous agreement for am features and operations has ended. the move comes are
3:19 am
made rising and see friends. sentiments as look, was pushed back against the lingering influence of the former colonial power in the region. also corresponded with the law as the details has been laid. lowly quest for civilian society. since captain tori, why been september today? because all of the country, many civilian society organization over nice weekend after weekend, the most efficient to france embassy to headquarter of they say b operation, military camp in the headquarters. ready the suburb of work had to come way say so they came to a decision a couple of weeks ago. the government cannot fossil low to fight to the government fries that they no longer need. fresh troops in book, in
3:20 am
a parcel mccula is looking for other patters, but all of these to a bridge way for russia. probably so booking up 1st so. ready went to moscow and booking i did fill up a partnership with washer, interested in a sense of equipment. helicopters and pains are here now from washer. and the army is more and more reactive when a task because you have time of booking a sale for a long time. friend says blocker, booking of fossil equipment coming from other countries. so about what can i decided to not to with friends, make that decision about what type of the complaint will command, so killer and say is going to keep corporation humanitarian different plan, but not military because we'll kill us in the last is
3:21 am
a laugh. exactly. 9 e edward, or the 20th of february 2014, with the deadliest day of the 1st, who my danforth has been sent. okay, miss thousands killed. i'm more than 150. with view of this grim anniversary, our cheese marina corvette takes a closer look at what has become of this turning point in ukraine's history. this is how it was portrayed in mainstream media, unarmed, protested dumb down in the streets by the right police who were retreating from gifts. my dan square, i tied it lines of security forces a short distance away. oh, standing beyond the range of rocks and bottles, testers have home me shields and numbers. the police have water cannon and some grenades, but this is what it looked like in reality. ah,
3:22 am
ah. after 3 months of confrontational, key of his main square, the situation reached the boyland points, and the 20th of february, 2014, became the bloodiest they of them. i don lee been 49 dead and a 157 people wounded. this was the turning point. the protest could have died down, but they didn't. they got more violence. and the claim was that the violence was coming from the governments. a great way to force ukraine's president to succumb to protesters the mans, 9 years on. and there are still no proof that government forces were shooting at protesters only evidence to the contrary. the snipers wiring were from buildings controlled by pro european protesters and based on forensic evidence, many of those who were killed and wounded were shot in the back or from significant
3:23 am
vertical angles. whereas the police were right in front of them, or on the same level, at least the people on the top to bottom direction of his wounds. his position in the video and findings from forensic medical examination about the location of entry, wounds in his right side and back, indicate gunshots from that hotel and not from the bare crude ukrainian special forces in front of him. he several other eye witnesses including other my don protesters, a medic, and a german journalist also said he was killed by a sniper from the hotel ukraine. in particular from the 7th floor. there is more the bullets came from hunting rifles or guess was government forces didn't use hunting rifles. but you know, who did? that's right. the protesters, something that was even documented on mainstream media conservatory building several 100 meters away, was firmly in the hands of the protested correction. just after 8 o'clock that
3:24 am
morning, a news photographer had managed to get into the building with his camera. when i come inside, i was so the guys are one come after me or was the hunter gun and to myself, i thought what exactly a clear picture? is it incredible considering it's been 9 years, but what's more, incredible is the evidence that has magically disappeared. we must realised that the way the investigation was conducted unfortunately, did not give society answers to key questions. we have huge questions about the quality of the investigation. some materials simply disappeared, while in other points the investigation was sabotaged. this is the man who was adamant that the government controlled the snipers and not my dan leaders like himself. so where is the proof? nowhere to be found, apparently the shields and helmets of those who were killed and entered. where are they gone? extracted bullets disappeared. recordings of live streams,
3:25 am
cctv from hotel craner arrays. isn't that weird? even e u officials started wondering what was going on as we later find out from this leaked phone call. it's really disturbing that louder, you know, coalition that they don't want to investigate. what exactly happened so that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers they were. it was not core which but it was somebody from the new coalition. it already discredit dates from very beginning. goes this new college. yeah. it's really disturbing. bob, let's continue supporting them. anyway. after all, the west had been egging them on for so long before a newland flew in 3 times and was literally feeding pro european protesters. us senator john mccain joined the party, encourage and protesters to keep going. agreeing with them that their future is in
3:26 am
europe, no matter what their democratically elected president wants or has decided to do. people know that the united states stands with you in your search or just for human dignity because a curity or economic health and for the european future that you have chosen. and the me this is your moment. this is about, you know, why no one else really. then why was the, was truly in ukraine's business discussing and planning who should run. once we've all heard the leaks conversations where the west insisted on that, then you get a new so become ukraine's new leader. and sure enough,
3:27 am
there guy was installed and traveled to washington right away. so the crowds and the key of and the folks in washington got what they wanted. a pro western governments would know twice to russia, a scary prospect for those ukrainians who lined with russia linguistically, historically, and culturally so they up to the streets, often meets in a brutal consequence like the massacre in odessa. we're almost 50 of them were trapped in the building that will set ablaze, burn and i'm alive. this of course, cements of clearly the hatred between the 2 sides realized that keith had decided to talk fate without asking us. they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union in russia, and the things that were going on and key disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that crimea
3:28 am
detached than joined russia. the civil war and on bus started a need so began arming the key of regime with civilians terrorized for years. now let's take a moment to remember john mccain's words in key. if once again, this is sure you want for your country, this is just a future uses this or what is this, what he had in mind? surely the why didn't expect russia to allow a poppet regime to terrorize its civilians and arm up along its borders with hopes and dreams of being part of nato. every action has a reaction, and that was actions points to the fact that my done was a gateway. so a war was russia. i forgot the scars of french colonialism is a topic on the modus operandi. next, i will be back let's hopefully i will relate ah
3:29 am
. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is on, often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time, time to sit down and talk look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously, is to create trust rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with
