residential areas. russian forces all making advances on the front lines. but includes the offensive or offensive sale for the city of archie most also known as boss. once in the dentist republic egos, donna reports from positions that recently taken by bushes wagner. this poses a warning, though. however, some of the following images are disturbing. ah, less than 12 hours ago, the entire territory of this cargo railway station was under the ukrainian control . well, now it's wagner's domain from north emotional. there was fighting here in the night
4:03 am
military formations worn residential areas. machine guns and grenade launchers were firing here. sure. they had a great position for shooting horrible, but our guys took this railway area by storm. plenty within the enemy. last about 40 soldiers out of a 100 of the others just ran away. and this ambulance on black military plates, which means it was officially on ukraine's army. roaster was no aid or humanitarian vehicle. it was used by keep troops to deliver reinforcements and ammunition with a disguise. it's crew found their final rest right next to it, r o j america's go. these are us made weapons. they use this ambulances cover to deliver ammunition and food supplies was caraway. ah,
4:04 am
there is. oh, you are as quickly on, gv. i so mercenaries from south africa here, and so i saw your instructors, germans polish ukrainians from the i dar and as of battalions as well as the re, cranium, 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 also. but now that road is no more thorough as well as those mercenary school. well, now you have to brace yourself for some truly grew. so images, the defensive lives 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 me clearly failed close quarter combat is what wagner excelsior fighter, who was among those who stormed this building, shares with me, what kind of resistance they had to overwhelm yours, machine gunners held up defenses in every stage,
4:05 am
hearing those and they were even shooting inquiry doors to the door. it didn't help them though. sure. and our guys know what to do so much. they entered the building the right way and covered each other. we'll 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. admissions of these are improved some tank track stuck 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 unconsciously. what happened to
4:06 am
the tank? i will talk 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 chew o wagner is done of reporting from the dumbass artsy with a sent you a certain times on the battlefield. this monday monks 9 years since the bloodiest event of his 2014 made my gun protest. turning point in the grand says, we paved the way for the current conflict later in the program and she will take a closer look at the controversial monday. this week marks a year since russia began as much information in ukraine amid the anniversary us present. joe barton is scheduled to visit poland, one of the main proponents of western support for keith. as the american leader is
4:07 am
set to the river, his own views of the conflict, as he come to be to rachel moslem, as more. yes, president joe 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 fire. how are 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.
4:08 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 state department. so with washington playing sugar daddy, it's not exactly surprised 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 in 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.
4:09 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 the 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 anyway. warsaw as own anti russian rhetoric also routinely perpetuates the image that poland is in some kind of endless showdown with moscow. probably not promoted whose petition for a 123 years will cry. ports of parliament on the sar is 3. 1 1st thing that if someone says ruskie meter, meaning a russian world or russian pace up, we say absolutely no europe anything but russia. i anything but the russian sphere of influence. so remarks like this,
4:10 am
amplify washington's and nato's attempts to portray eastern europe as being under constant threat from moscow's 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 received 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 polls. so by the speech will no doubt touch on how the u. s. is leading the world on ukraine, meaning the western world, but hey, minor detail, right?
4:11 am
and it's no coincidence that he'll be saying in front of the country or from the country, 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 pass by that time until washington gets tired of all the drama with ukraine and needs a new mean squeeze in its crusade against russia. oh, the us now hundreds of people have marched in am. am t war riley in washington dc, expressing outrage at u. s. involvement in the ukraine. conflicts the rally was cruel that rage against the war machine. protesters demanded an end to u. s. military aid. heave and called for russia and ukraine to seek a peace agreement through the, the convict over as why the libertarians and the peoples policy demonstration was billed as the country's largest anti war rally since the us invasion of iraq in
4:12 am
2003, the event featured speakers from across the political spectrum, including former server, ron poll, x presidential, nominee halsey, gabbard, and political commentator and comedians jimmy door. those of the whistle blows program, john curio who observed the and you will protest on location. he gave us a rundown of the demonstrators main demands. 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, which is now about $2.00 thirds of our discretionary budget. and just one more
4:13 am
point about that, every dollar that 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 and the government is, are actually operating on other motives such as, you know, maintaining world to gemini, 1st and foremost, which only bill the only really benefits the oligarchy, last the last 8 years, the military budget has gone up, but not only just doesn't go up, it's that congress gives them more than they asked for. they get them $48000000000.00 more and the bite house requests insane. i and, and you know, it's just one fiasco after another. and what so frustrating? here it is that functions as an echo chamber. it's that nothing is ever put in context and nothing. all the people around us who are the most educated people we
4:14 am
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 the new york times, the 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 i saw the child now are told that the as a battalion or heroes and defenders. and so, so offensive to me that nazis are being revered by a government that we support who's 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? why is it that no one, including most of the american people object to the fact the 2 thirds of the
4:15 am
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 r t in washington, a russian parliament member in charge of international affairs, hazel and the ease of its ally. the u. s. in force is new clearness measures a real threat to the blown security. he made those comments off, the e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, asserted that african nations should be wary of strengthening their ties within allegedly imperialistic russia. i travel around the world and particularly in the
4:16 am
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 neighbor that wants to take control of some country that belongs to its political sphere. we heard from a mozambique based illegal expert, an analyst will cardiac, as well as independent journalist, luc groovy. both of them said, russia's relations with african nations are based on equal partnerships. and that is of great concern for western powers. i believe is the one now propaganda rest in country in particular, because you have a good relationship with russia. government in no, only mozambique,
4:17 am
but of all countries in africa in particular. so that's why sometimes, yeah, that, that type of the comment about the rest of the russia government right now in the new colonialist it's, it's from the other side. the side from the western countries were close to it. so if you see there were some countries that you need to wonder to make or to do their wonderful things in the 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 mr. yet, but also he says, worse than that, he says, we must prove that we europeans continue to be a global actor. this is self. pers, you ation, he's not sure about it. we must remain
4:18 am
a global actor. does that mean that we're not anymore? yes, sir. mister levels of trust 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, traffic is dead forever. that's what they repeat to process 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. there was a lot for the nation of athena father has declared that all french troops must immediately leave the country. as the previous agreement of terrorism operations has ended, the move comes of a rising and you find sentiments as the residence pushed back against the lingering
4:19 am
influence of the former colonial power in the region. all the correspondent louis law has the details. this has been laid lowly quest for civilian society. since captain tori, why in september? today? because whole of the comes way many civilian society organization over nice weekend after weekend demonstration to france embassy to headquarter of the c b opperation military camp in the head. quite a. ready bit of work to come way say so. they came to a decision a couple of weeks ago. the government cannot fossil law to fight to the phrase that no longer made fresh troops in book in a parcel smoking. i was looking for other papers i already sent to
4:20 am
a breach we for washer problem. so book. ready it went to moscow and a book, a washer, and in a sense of equipment and pain for you know, from washer. and the army is more and more reactive when, but he's a terrorist attack because a long time frame says block will kill fossil equipment coming from other countries. so about what can i decided not to with that friends make that decision about what type of the complaint documents and what is going to keep corporation humanitarian different plan, but not military because book and i said the last is exactly 9 years ago. the 20th of february 2014 was the deadliest day of the so
4:21 am
called my dan processing central. keith, with doesn't kill them more than a 150 wounded in veal. this grim anniversary, i'll tease marine across the river, 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 to his lines, security forces a short distance away. standing beyond the range of rocks and bottles, testers have home me shields and numbers. the police have water cannon and stone grenades, but this is what it looked like in reality. ah. after
4:22 am
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 the cranes 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 sniper's firing 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 vertical angles. whereas the police were right in front of them, or on the same level,
4:23 am
at least one with 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. 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. well guess what? government forces didn't use hunting rifles, but do you know who did? that's right. the protesters, something that was even documented on mainstream media conservancy built several 100 meters away, was firmly in the hands of the protest erection. just after 8 o'clock that morning and used photographers managed to get into the building with the camera. when i come inside,
4:24 am
i will. so the guys one come after me. hunter gun hunting rush. i'm not 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 realize 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 laborers and not my don leaders like himself. so where is the proof? know where to be found. apparently the shields and the helmets of those who were killed and entered. where are they gone? extract the bullets disappeared. recordings of live streams cc'd cv from hotel krajina arrays. isn't that weird, even
4:25 am
e u of special started wondering what was going on as we later found out from this leaked phone call. it's really disturbing that now with the new new coalition that they don't want to investigate what except have in stronger understanding that behind snipers, they were, it was not core which but it was somebody from new coalition. it's already discredit dates from very beginning. goes this new polish. 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, but their future is in europe no matter what their democratically elected president want or has decided to do to people. if nobody knows that the united states stands
4:26 am
with you in your search or just for human dignity, because a curity or economic health and for the european future that you have children. 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 our senior gets a new so become ukraine's new leader. and sure enough. 7 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 rush up
4:27 am
a scary prospect for those ukrainians who aligned with russia linguistically, historically, and culturally so they up to the st often meets in a brutal consequence like the massacre and the desa were almost 50 of them were trapped in the building that was such a blaze and am alive. this of course, cements of clearly the hatred between the 2 sides realized that keith had decided our fate without asking us. they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union and russia, the things that were going on and key disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that crimea detached and joined russia. the civil war and on boss started a need so began arming the key of regime with civilians terrorized for years. now
4:28 am
let's take a moment to remember john mccain's words in key. if once again you're sure you want for your country. this is just a future uses this or what is this, what he had in mind? surely the wife didn't expect rossa to allow a puppet regime to terrorize its civilian 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. lensky changes saw someone came by flint dunbar, some interesting story on all of them. and we'll be back with the international news. the news i
4:30 am
my music yeah, absolutely. i try to play for canes favorites. like we have a lot of music that we both like a lot. like led zeppelin. we have all the ramones. we have talk, he hats, guns and roses. i'll run install is of course frank ocean, which is his favorite. i usually start with that one. what until you didn't leave a message with .
