for you, go ahead, i change and whatever you do, don't watch my show, stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the wayne thing. ah, after months of intense battles, russia takes control over the eastern part of the city of steel, most also known as bach movie. that's the pointing to the head of the wagner private military company. ah, protesters in georgia attempt to storm the countries parliament amid clashes with police as they rally against a drop law that would brand some media outlets foreign agents and us and

german media outlets claim a pro ukrainian roof was behind the attack on the north spring pipelines but russia dismisses it as an attempt to shift the blame from the elected western involvement with good morning for martine or national studios in moscow. and welcome to the hour's top stories worldwide. i'm fear ella, isabel, the head of the wagner, private military company. you have jenny? grogan says, russian forces have taken control over the whole eastern part of the city of r d, almost also known as bach. moot for months, the city has become a focal point, a furious battles between ukrainian and russian forces. we cross live now to our to correspond at roman, close the river roman. good morning. what's the latest on the situation on the ground in the r t almost region. well,

we have heard from the head of the year a private military company of wagner's guinea pig gulshan. and he said that his volunteer units are currently in control over the entire eastern part of our jo mosca city here in dunn, his crew, public that say key of regime have renamed as a barcode a few years ago. now, the city is a far paramount significance to both russia and ukraine for kia, it's important to holds on in order to keep up the morale in the army and keep in sacks, it says 70 kilometer defensive line. while for russia, taking control of our thomas school mean at direct route towards the cities of sly, bounced and crum, a tourist and gaining control over their efforts to take control over art almost have been viewed differently by the west over time in the early stages. western officials and media claim that it's off principal importance to ukraine to day when

russia controls a large part of the city, they're saying that losing via battle for our it's almost, there's absolutely no strategic value to key of. meanwhile, the ukranian army have reportedly been destroying critical infrastructure as they retreat from our channels because several bridges and exam were blown up in order to slow down the russian encirclement of the city of our channels. also, and number of videos have also appeared on line where ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries are seen leaving the embattled city doing that's mostly on foot. according to russia's defense minister survey, chicago losses of ukrainian troops in february exceeded $11000.00 service spend, which has more than 40 percent higher than the losses of ukrainian military in january chicago. also noted that in this regard, and that's a quote, the indifference of the key of regime to his people,

which does not take into account the huge human losses in favor of western curators is surprising and quote. now as for the situation here in the capital of the an escrow public, well the residential areas of the city are still under constant heavy r re shelling by ukraine. though it's really evidence that the shelling indeed has become less intensive and old that is credited due to success of russian artillery aviation and ground troops efforts on the outskirts of the next article. responded rahman, closer with the latest on the front lines. thank you. meanwhile, a new prisoner of war exchange has taken place between russia and ukraine. nighty, russian service men returned home from captivity and are now undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. officials say their lives were in danger prior to their release . r t correspondence, sophia newness reports more. russia ukraine had swapped $220.00 prisoners in one of

the largest exchanges of the year long conflict. on tuesday, the russian defense ministry announced that it had secured the release of 90 o vic service men who were in mortal danger. while in the tv. and now those troops have been brought to moscow for medical and psychological assistance. meanwhile, the head of the office of the president of ukraine wrote on telegram that $130.00 ukrainian to for free, including for service women, the latest field w swap, took place on the eve of international women's day. and there's no doubt the best for mothers, daughters weiss and sisters of the really soldiers on both sides. nothing as soon as i'm finally home. i'm so happy and my family's overjoyed vacation. oh, there's nothing better than the feeling that you have come back home. i called my family to let them know. my mother was in tears that i am unable to express what i'm feeling right now. i'm shaking in sight. i simply cannot describe this feeling

. we were just gathered out one day and told that we are coming home. we were shocked, i told my family, my mom cried just my daughter and wife were incredibly happy. i am so grateful to the russian governments that were not forgotten so far over 900 fresh soldiers have been freed in prisoners changes. that's based on the information released by the russian ministry of defense in the georgia capital to believe c, riot police have been dispersing protesters with tear gas and water cannons. that's after writers broke through a barricade near the country's parliament while attempting to storm the building in a protest against the new foreign agents law. ah . road traffic in

the city has been blocked with mass arrests also reported. some of the protesters receive throwing molotov cocktails and stones, a police leaving several officers injured. ambulances arrived to help treat any casualties. earlier on tuesday, the proposed loss sparked flashes between george and law makers inside parliament. that's despite the initiative which the u. s. embassy in tbilisi has described as kremlin, inspired being approved by a majority of m p's. archie correspondent, maria quote. marina closer f has more details. this, a foreign agent law basically means that any organizations receive in foreign font didn't have to register as foreign agents. basically that they are working in the interests of the country that is given them those funds. we've seen in the past how such situations have been used by other countries that want to influence to politics within a particular nation. and this is what they use. they fund opposition movements

either for various and g o. so to try and form public perception by funding, for example, even private news organizations. so the absolute majority, however, often piece voted in favor of this bill is this just passed the 1st reading, so there will be more, however, the president of the country already spoke out and said that she's absolutely against this bill. and she said she fears for the countries future with the west. if this passes, it's gone. this law can be cancelled in any way you want from day one. i said i would veto this law and i will veto it. i do not care about it's article my article discussion. it's similarity to the old american law, which we well now, services completely different purpose. those who support this law and those who voted for this law are violating constitution. you're taking us all away from europe also said that she stands next to the processors is with them. she supports them, and she said that they represent the flea, ga, today, a ga that sees itself that sees its future within europe. this is why we can see

some of the crowds there waving of a e u flag and then chancing slogans of support there. now even though she said that she could of repeal the law for crosses her das, the ruling a dream party are said to have the parliamentary majority sets on clear weather shall be actually able to veto that. now, georgia has already been warned by the west. the garden, this legislation, for example, on tuesday, the 8th, you released the statement saying that this draft legislation is incompatible with you values and sanders. and it could have serious the precautions on the country and their relationship in the future. and of course, the united states, back in february, they also issue the statements and the u. s. department spokesperson said anyone boats and for this legislation could also jeopardize george as relationship with europe and the united states. and also let's have a look at the statements were leased by the u. s. embassy enjoys are basically

echoing the same sentiments today's a dark day for georgia democracy parliament's advancement of these kremlin inspired laws is incompatible with the people of george's clear desire for european integration and his democratic development pursued. these laws will demo george's relations with his strategic partners and undermined the important work of so many georgian organizations were, can to help their fellow citizens, the process, and the draft laws res, real questions about the ruling parties, commitment to euro, atlantic integration. so we have the stand off, it seems which resulted already in classes as we've seen, sort of eerily echoing of what we saw and key of back in 2014. and after i did want to sign the e association agreements. so will the monitoring the situation and see how it ends, how it unfolds. if this is it, or if we'll continue. we spoke to american civil rights attorney, robert pattillo, who said 3rd parties may have had a hand in the events in george's capital or looking at law is a people's uprising,

a standing up against the current regime which is in place, but also the interference of the western powers, when it comes to law, when it comes to the popular opinion of the old citizens there. we've known for years at the western powers of salt to own influence, any country this with them. russia sphere influence. whether it be chechnya, whether it be ukraine, whether it be the real people's republic of georgia, lieut got nothing but miss messages on the one hand saying that guess we support protesters. but on the other hand, having very heavy handed on police operations and the new para military response to such if you support the protesters and then sit down with their leadership, bring them in to the on to government. we go create peace accords that will bring it into the protest, but instead we're seeing the continued militarization of this for these protests and a lack of understanding or a lack of ability to negotiate a settlement. the kremlin spokesman has dismissed the latest reports from western media that lay the blame for the north stream pipe when attack on

a pro ukrainian group. as they coordinated distraction, which draws attention away from previous theories of western involvement in last year's bombing of the russian pipelines. these claims also contradict the recent investigation by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, well alleged at the u. s. government was involved in the attack. officials who have reviewed the intelligence, said they believed this saboteurs were most likely ukrainian, or russian nationals or some combination of the 2 u. s. officials said no american or british nationals were involved. the boat that was allegedly used for the secret operation is said to be a yacht rented from a company based in poland, apparently owned by 2 ukrainians. in response to these latest claims of russia's foreign ministry spokesman also says the reports are an attempt to distract from the legit western role in the pipeline of hats. the western media is bombarded by the news that the investigation into the terrorist attacks against nordstrom has

aversion that this is a non russia b, ukrainian groups. i wonder who allows such leaks filling the information space with them. the answer, those who do not want to conduct an investigation in the legal field and are going to divert the attention of the audience from the facts in every possible way. instead of leaks the western regimes involved in the incident should respond to official requests from the russian side. and at the very least take into account the materials of the hersch investigation. instead of replacing them with anonymous, throw whence? well, washington is trying to now explain the situation in response to all the backlash they received. sams pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, revealed in his documentation and his reporting that he feels strongly that it is washington and the white house who is responsible for the destruction of the nord stream to pipeline. now this new report published by the new york times says that

it was not the white outside. rather what's the blame shifting it away from the west on to what it says were some ukrainians and some russians. and they also seem to not show that he of was directly involved any suggestion of ukrainian involvement, whether direct or indirect could have said the delicate relationship between the ukraine and germany. sour in support. to moon the german public, that has swallowed high energy prices in the name of solidarity. now berlin has taken note of this report that seems to show the involvement of pro ukraine groups and the destruction of the north stream to pipeline. and it certainly raises questions as germany was the biggest country to suffer as a result of the pipelines destruction. i raises questions about germany, the biggest economy in the european union. i and it's continued relationship with government in kia law. now it's important to know out that the white house has been silent in response to the revelations from seymour hersh regarding the north stream

to pipeline and its destruction. many look on and say this probably because they don't want to obviously state what is already seems to be indicated. and what many observers are taking no doubt if russia invade to cram one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russian rate that means tanks are true for crossing the border of ukraine's again, there will be, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will be going to snap danish officials are going to allow inspection of the site where the nord stream to pipeline was destroyed, according to a recent leak that was received. there has been silence from the white house and now it appears this new report from the new york times that sites anonymous. intelligence officials seems to be basically letting the white house off the hook

and letting western powers off the hook and providing here with an alibi. and that seems to be what's going on. now at this point we've got see more her saying that he doesn't think that the white house of u. s. government will ever admit what they did regarding nordstrom to here's what he said, the last thing, the white house, look, i'm telling you they're never going to say they're never going to say i surrender. they're just never going to do it. now, seymour hersh is also indicated that he has further information to reveal regarding the destruction of north stream too. and this new report is being highly awaited. and there's a lot of anticipation to see what further details. seymour hersh has to reveal and light up today's piece from the new york times. leon media analyst line all says the mainstream media has resorted to repeating, instead of reporting while failing to carry any actual facts. i have read this

story. 10 times i keep thinking they, they must have cut off a portion of this. this doesn't say anything. 3 authors, 3 from the once vaunted heralded new york times, mainstream media today. i don't of it's american of western by mainstream media are repeaters, not reporters. they repeat their praxis, their agents, they're, they're correspondent, they're, they're, they're propagandist, who had demoted. if you ask somebody nord stream to a pipeline between russian, germany who would have the motive, who would benefit from this coy bono. we protest who benefit ask yourself and the 1st thing is i was russia. how does that work? well, because there so evil. what, what?

yes. because this evil knows no nose, no sanity is what this evil apparently doesn't know. so now you have this which all of us now let me also tell you, i don't want to to make it even more complicated or, or seemingly complicated because to so obvious. when you have 2 leading officials saying, if you do this, that nord scream is through. what happened? now come on. come on. why are we even discussing this? how is it to people? what do they happened to say that that really? that was just an expression. when i said something bad would happen, i didn't think you'd believe what happened. and the 3rd question which nobody is, may be explaining to me, and i'm just a layman. i'm just, i don't know anything about demolitions. i've never destroyed anything under water or above water for that matter. doesn't it?

take a lot of effort, aren't these pipelines really encased in concrete or steel, or when you leave something that important, unattended in the ocean? how is it that these people happen to go out in a rowboat? it died down. i don't know how many meters use whatever equipment is available to story is so preposterous from the beginning. and meanwhile, nobody is ever said to seymour hersh. you're incorrect because of such and such. are your fax or that? that's papa. it's the very fact that we're discussing this is a testament to the power of whoever is controlling the narrative because this is obvious. german politicians are often ne meyer and martin dozer say it's easy to

figure out who benefits from the sudden switch of suspects. i call it a weapon of mass destruction. so they want to blame everybody else, but not themselves. of course, they would never admit that. but if time goes by a d n, people will understand those who really have an interest in the united states of america. it's also because mr. biden is facing a re election campaign that is going to, to start at the end of this year, beginning of next year. so he has to win some support among his own people. if you look at the normal investigative journalists in germany, it's not a studio. and a newspaper inside the own sling to trans atlantic think tanks very closely and for the government you make this a tax on all stream wrong into what's in danger of the security

of germany. and now there is least like that that must be some reason. so i think the russian, which had been brought in to live by a single hersch, seems to me a bit more likely to be the truth than what happens now. a polish, they don't. oil company is playing to suit russia over the halt of supplies via a pipeline that transfer to oil to eastern europe, despite or saw being an active proponent of anti russian energy sanctions. it's still blames moscow for the disruption after president joe biden's visit. the russians stopped pumping oil to poland. we will now take legal action and assert claims. let me get this straight. poland is up said that russia won't take poland money any more. pulling has been going out of its way to act as ukraine's teacher's pack within the ear. going round publicly, bullying. it's fellow european allies for doing business with russia just

a few days ago. the polish defense minister said on state tv quote, there is no doubt it was germany's policy that help routine to get money, which he used to strengthen his army. nord stream is an example. although we were called russ a phobic. we warned against it. we're talking billions that poland has sent to russia for energy as the german ambassador to the country has pointed out. now poland even promised to end all russian oil imports by the end of last year. so you think that they would welcome this development? but now the same c, e o of poland state energy from orland, is complaining that the evil russian oil has stopped flowing into poland, which was the largest importer of russian oil to the whole of e u in january, consisting of about 10 percent of its supply and when confronted with that fact, the same c, e o's defense was basically that he just didn't know how to shut off the top. there

were 2 contracts, one contract expired in january, the other expires in 2024. it is difficult to break a contract without sanctions. we would expose ourselves to large fines and that money would go to put in any way we would pay for the oil that we didn't even receive. so he said that he really, really liked to shut off that russian oil to poland, but that he couldn't do that without getting fined for breaking a business contract with russia. so it be better to just keep paying for the russian oil. well then to have to pay a massive fine for stopping it. little buddy looks like your problems are all solved because it sounds like moscow is basically now stopped and he won't have to pay the fine. so, what's the problem? unless of course, he really didn't want to break poland, long term relationship with russian oil and was just telling everyone that they

were only dating casually, you know, until something or someone better came along and offered some other supply. speaking of dating on the down, low german economy minister, robert havoc also said this week that berlin doesn't have a formal relationship with russian gas after someone mysteriously blew it up. along with the nord stream pipelines regime, cynthia momentum, we are not dependent on russian guest supplies at the moment. parkside may be the true that ellen g terminals of neighboring countries through which gas quantities come russian molecules or the gas mix. it does look like can neither be controlled nor excluded, but german companies do not buy algae gas from russian companies or russia. he makes a sound like rushing yas, his imposing itself on germany like some kind of a crazy acts like, well, we tried to get it off our line, but it just wouldn't leave us alone. so they're acting like it's not really their fault. if they're still playing some kind of. busy light foot see under the table

with russian fuel, the american c. e o of chevron. mike worth recently pointed out that indeed europe is still getting russian fuel. that it's just taking the long way around from russia going through unsanctioned countries. and obviously that's going to mean that it's more expensive and also introduces more potential risks in a much larger supply chain, which conveniently makes us natural gas a lot more attractive. so it's hardly surprises. for example, that shell oils c e o is now saying that stability of the u. s. energy market makes it more attractive for the company's investments. then, for example, the u. k. or europe and european customers and industry are absolutely the ones bearing the brunt of all these added pos, to buy energy entered, to re routed through half the world. now,

europe has been saying that it wants to ramp up it's military industrial production . but here in france there even struggling to keep making baguettes do the energy cost. so good luck with that guys. meanwhile, the blocks fearless leaders keep saying that they're strong and independent and don't need russian fuel, even as they keep importing it on the sly. that is, until, as we've just seen with poland, russian fuel dumps them former bolivian president ever morales has praised the courage of his d. r. c counterpart for defending his country and the continent interests in the face of a former colonial empire, which is still trying to influence africa's internal affairs. we congratulate the brother, president of the democratic republic of congo, who, with the firmness and the dignity of the african people, demands from his french colleague and from all of europe, reciprocal and respectful treatment. without paternalism or interventionism free

people of the world demand dignified treatment from colonialist europe. after so much looting massacres, an exploitation of the old world, we no longer live in times of monarchies or oligarchies. tensions between the congo least president and french president and manon mac wrong were evan entering a joint press conference held in congo capital on saturday, with the african leader urging france in the west to consider the d. r. c. as true partners and to drop their paternalistic outlook. he also demanded micron pursue international sanctions against for wanda, for it's a legit military support to the m $23.00 rebel group. meanwhile, the french president said he was waiting for the end of peace negotiation efforts before considering any possible sanctions. while blaming the d. r. c itself for its instability. it did not look like it's not profit fault. i'm sorry to say it in

such blunt terms. you have not been able to restore the sovereignty, not the military, nor security administrative of your country. this is also a reality. we must not look for culprits outside lucifer. you pan african analysts are gambiola, thanks. 3rd world countries are looking increasingly united in their defense of their own sovereign interests. i must say that more and more african enlightened american countries are engaging in close relations. this reproachful style to the common destiny of the states of the global south. the fate reserved for south american countries by the u. s. is ideologically, economically and even morally, a very similar concept to that which was imposed on us by states like france in europe as a whole. is clearly stated that the countries of the 3rd world and the countries of the south would share the common destiny of being under developed. i now aware that by creating a block and being united, they can victorious to win against western block and against this international impunity. because international community led by the west does not take into

account all the powers that matter to day. the french media claimed that the african youth rising up against the french presence in africa are being manipulated by moscow, which makes us laugh. it confirms that france hasn't understood african doesn't want to do it. and it allows africans to turn to people who are open to understanding them. an hour to have passed at peace has appeared on the border wall separating palestine and israel. the mosaic created by thousands of people and seen from both sides of the border gives visitor the chance to write a personal message and stick it on the security construction r t. 's. maria fin notion. i spoke to the founder of the project that has apparently inspired some people turn in a concrete defensive wall into a tourist attraction with a piece message. why not thought the resident of a jewish village right on the border between israel and garza and started a project with an ambitious name path to peace. after so many years voice tell all

in this country, many israeli lost their hope for made very sad. and i want to help them to find their hope. again, i asked them don't give up for the hope for the peace as ceramic artists are married, invites visitors to choose a handmaids tone they liked most right, a secret message or a wish. on the other side of it and glued to the wall in the past 10 years, thousands of people from all over the world have contributed to the huge mosaic that is now spread across the separation wall. but politicians were not am on them . the problem is with the leadership, they need to work harder and they need to be creative and they need to be brave. it's very easy to chose violence.
