german media outlets claim a pro ukrainian group was behind the attack on the north to bring pipelines. but russia dismisses it as an attempt to shift the blame from the elected western involvement. ah, good afternoon for martine or national studios in moscow, and welcome to the ours top news stories worldwide. i'm federal isabel. the head of the wagner private military company, yevgeny gordon, says, russian forces have taken control over the eastern part of the city of r. feel most also known as bach mood in a video film than this city records. instead, the russian army now has the modern military capabilities you use. those fuels in the world has not yet encountered the russian army being so well trained and equipped with units that have naughty had entered the battle, which have a multitude of modern weapons and intelligence capabilities. perfectly prepared
5:02 am
there, waiting in the wings to make an entrance after wagner hand and tied up to the capture of buck munt. i wanted resolution ansolaski. i'm grateful that you have decided to fight in bachman. we ask you to take the elderly children out of bohaman and send normal combat ready units. for months, the city of archdale mosque also known as buck, mood has become a focal point of furious battles between ukrainian and russian forces. r t corresponded eager stano followed wagner fighters in an exclusive look at the situation on the grounds. these 3 apartment block buildings around me, they were ukraine's 1st line of defense in the southern district of the city of buck, moot or tom, of among the wagner fighters. they got nicknamed as the 3 ox. basically they provided perfect cover for their foes. and while the battle for this particular neighborhood, while it was very difficult, you can hardly walk the streets here. mortar shells were overhead and dropped
5:03 am
a few blocks away. an occasional stray bullet whistles and smacks into a brick wall, an overwhelming aria of death in which wagner placed the main part, nature's horrible. it was hard to push them out of here. look at them, braziers on the houses, the animals ready for our attack, and we had to keep our wits about us, their clever removing bricks, to make positions for snipers and machine gunners. you can take them with regular ammunition. we had to use artillery to smoke them out. this is how the animals tillery targets us. there was a house here. now there is nothing. in formerly these fighters are known as musicians, courtesy the company name. they are often the 1st to meet the full force of new nato supplied equipment. caves, thirst for their blood is unmatched. what you see here is somewhat a novelty haunt the dumbass front. these are american claymore mines that have been,
5:04 am
well, they are quite legendary among those who play video games. here they are very real and they pose a very real threat. last week wagner's strike teams kicked cave troops out of their positions at a local damn. as we approach the new front line, ukraine spares no ammunition to batter the foe. no caliber is too large, so the dam behind us is the forward most. and the most avant garde position of the wagner troops here in the southern districts of bush moot, basically across the river. in the red building, there's already a reconnaissance and surveillance point of the ukrainian troops were yet, wasn't one of my checking the crates. we know who produced the mines for our opponents. morton names of these boxes were clearly produced in ukraine. see the labels, all of them are green. these ones are made in the czech republic. somebody else makes the one in these boxes. maybe the americans, the whole european union works for them. oscar,
5:05 am
and you can see the proof here. here is the dam. you can see what's left of it over there and that red 2 story house is the enemy observation point. when key of forces chose to hole up in the city, civilians woke up to a new reality. now they were unwelcome guests in their own homes, mortars rockets and guns to launch them were spawned in their backyards as an eviction notice. all road junctions and intersections in back move even minor ones like here. they are fenced off by barbed wire by the ukrainian forces. it clearly shows the sort of resistance the wagner company has to overcome and well that the ukrainian forces have really turned the city into a fortress. overcoming heavy opposition inevitably comes at a cost musicians showcase the price the ukrainian side had to pay here. those wounded here died because they couldn't evacuate them. like this one. for example.
5:06 am
all the there were about 8 enemy combatants here and a hunger is not as suitable shelter. you can see where the roof caved in. it was a direct hit. and for those who could ran away, the strikes moved further down the road. but these 2 guys couldn't get away, i'm not sure somewhere. there is a 3rd one buried under the rubble. they couldn't reach their comrades, that they left them here, thief. now they're being eaten by dogs. michigan wagner's troops might be just pass the overtures to their back move symphony. there's nary a doubt among them though, they'll be the ones to strike the final victorious cord amish. dawn of reporting from the dull i in the ga capitol typically see riot. police have been dispersing protesters was 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
5:07 am
a new foreign agent law. ah . road traffic in the city has been blocked with mass arrests also reported. some of the protesters were seen throwing molotov cocktails and stones at police, leaving several officers injured. ambulances arrived to help treat any casualties about them. earlier on tuesday, the proposed last bar clashes between georgian law makers inside parliament. that's the fight, the initiative, which the u. s. embassy into glee c has described as prevalent inspired. being approved by a majority of m. p. r t correspondent, marina casa. trevor has more details. this foreign agent law basically means that
5:08 am
any organizations receive in foreign funding 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 the 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. 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 its article, my article discussion. it's similarity to the old american law,
5:09 am
which we well know serves is completely different for those to 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 processes with them to support them. and she said that they represent the flea, ga today, a ga that sees itself that sees its heater within europe. this is why we can see some of the crowds, they're waving the they you flag and then chancing slogans of support. they're now even though she said that she could repeal the life across us, her das, the ruling a dream party, are set to have the parliamentary majority. so it's unclear whether she will be actually able to veto that. now georgia has already been warned by the west, the garden, this legislation, for example, on tuesday. the even use 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 that their relationship in the future. and of course,
5:10 am
the united states, back in february, they also a service statement that a u. s. department smokes person said anyone boats and for this legislation could also jeopardize george's relationship with europe and the united states. and also, let's have a look at the statements for these by the u. s. embassy influence 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 what we saw and key of back in 2014. and
5:11 am
after that they didn't want to sign the e association agreement. so we'll be monitoring the situation and see how it ends, how it unfolds. if this is it, teufel, continue a political analyst and founder of the sea. confound nation, thanks. western countries are supporting the protesters because the law could hampered their influence in georgia. that is, a rather would be between the government towards to have more independence in decision making. multiple western arise, the other hand, people will seen that phone device and so fully on their work is something that helps us to get better and get closer to your future coming in for having these for western ideas. so she's probably, she's to do, the protested, but i don't think that even president has a moment get to our than our government rest safe there for the georgia might be this love. you may be a bit more complicated to be involved in the life of georgia society. that is why
5:12 am
you're not this for medical, which has the same rule to law is again very small because you're not just for medicaid sufficient. don't want to have some obstacle. the thing is with you, but i would like to mention that having any doesn't, that can make some barrett and so both execution or the law in north about accepting before in general us defense secretary lloyd austin, made an unannounced trip to iraq on tuesday just days before the 20 year anniversary of the us led invasion, austin met with iraq's prime minister and stated that washington wants to strengthen the partnership between the 2 countries. to i look forward to continuing to consult with our valued iraqi partners. and to advanced our shared interest. and to improve the lives of the iraqi people. i am optimistic about the future of our
5:13 am
partnership and united states will continue to strengthen and broaden our partnership in support of iraqi security, stability and sovereignty. the pentagon chief's visit to baghdad, as part of a 3 day trip across the middle east. he also met king abdullah and jordan on monday and it's set to travel to israel and egypt to hold talks with top officials ahead of the tour. the u. s. announced discussions would focus on the growing threat iran poses to regional stability less cross live. now to talk he, i saw the iranian affairs analyst. welcome. well, thank you very much for having be. well, what's your take on the pentagon chief statement that the u. s. wants to help iraq, isn't there an element of irony in this given of the coming in a grocery of the us led invasion? of course it is actually if you just take
5:14 am
a look at the american invasion to iraq and in a broader context. if you take a look at american involvement in the west naisha, you will see that this what, what this help literally means just take a look at the kind of son, are you a man or are the country by this though, be the this both allegations that are against iran in order for, in order for a creation of a atmosphere. envision they're, they're trying to depict a very negative picture of iran in order to justify their credit. of course, just all i wanted to move on to iran topic if i may, because it's certainly have a sickness. it's the end of a crystal under the circumstances. and we know that actually contouring. iran has been a pillar of u. s. foreign policy pertaining to the west asia, but it's still b, b, b, b,
5:15 am
a new perspective of this hostile approach. and that is related to the negative sense that being asked is the, taking towards the employing pies between iran and russia, which they found in washington as a serious threat for, for derrick, unless they advanced with a very security interest in the region. so all the know what we can day is that after constant baby years of the united states in the region, this trip take place in order to in a kind of attempt to strengthen the status of the united states in the region. the secret 3 told just couple of hours ago. so i'm not couple of days because i'm not mistaken that the united states is planning to improve its presence in the middle east. so call me as they call it. so this circle shows the bay of the
5:16 am
strategy, the united states in the middle east. and then now they're trying to kind of reform the their policies in order to have their feet on the ground in the middle east. now let's get back to iraq for a 2nd. austin is one of the number of foreign dignitaries who have visited iraq recently including the iranian russian and saudi foreign ministers. why are so many countries suddenly so interested in building relations of baghdad? well, the key reason i think, of course, is be geo political situation and that still exist in iraq that i think what motivates be americans and their regional partners to become more and more active is the kind of read that they view as a result of this strength and eyes that could actually create a new global order that obviously effects based out of ration in the middle east.
5:17 am
so on, under this circumstance, i think then they see how iran is getting closer to iraq and then they have bratia is getting more and more active in syria and also in iraq. they find their so called superior tea, that they have tried to create in the region under a curious jeopardy. and that's why they're trying to build better pies with countries like iraq, all in all to, to improve their in charge status. in the, in the recitation, you talked about these various relationships. now, austin's 3 day trip also includes visits, israel, egypt, and jordan. now washington has highlighted previously the importance of discussing the iran threat. what is actually behind this iran threat?
5:18 am
well actually we know that us grand strategy to can to contain iran includes a very noxious behavior and it contains a toolbox bitch in which you can see cruel sanctions against ordinary uranium. people can be put on the fairs. you can keep it from attic affairs and, and a wide spectrum of tools in the small box. and under this conflicts, i think this current with it becomes meaningful. and this is part of the united states. bigger is back to conser iran. actually, while a head was a couple of days ago in iran, and they said that the entire conversation was very much constructive. the united states is flooring never rich by its regional allies in order to put further pressure on the run and on that israeli issue. i would like to advocate the point
5:19 am
if i may, this whole allegations that is really are directing against iran become part of the so called evidence, so called documents that if national body like i a resort to in order to prepare a false allegations directed against iran and just one sample in, in this regard, that at the defense also referred to in his recent with it was the threats of iran attempts to attain nuclear weapons. which is, which is basically a false allegations. just let me just related to the is really statements and that's the current crime. mr. israel is someone who has been saying for more than 1520 years that iran is week of a day the way they from making a nuclear bomb. and i'm not really sure,
5:20 am
and that's how much much iran is evey from this situation. under his statement. these are full allegations that creates a negative discourse in order for development and achievement of the key objective of the united states and with against iran, which is giving a mr. presented image of the country to deval. well, really quick. this trip also be seen as an attempt to reduce china's growing influence in the region. partly yes, because just again, getting back to iran. we know that iran recently atlas for the past the cape has started a new chapter of sized bit. russia and china with a focus on the eastern bloc, and this is, this is not something that is, is going to be liked by the americans. and of course china, presidents in the region,
5:21 am
bear with me with respect to the visit that jim pink pay to soothe the baby and also the wrist. and with that presence, he had to china, old and old. this create a very sensitive situation for the american and making them come to the very allocation that china presence in the, in the west asia is getting deeper and deeper and it's quite small 5 past that. so under this context, you're trying to actually strengthen their ties, but be their conventional hardness and if they're lost, then the situation for washington in the west is not going to be much impressed to have a saudi iranian affairs analyst. thank you very much. my pleasure. thank you very much for having the kremlin spokesman has dismissed the latest reports from western
5:22 am
media that laid the blame for the north string pipeline, a tap on a pro ukrainian group as a 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, actually, 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. russia's foreign ministry spokesman also says the reports are an attempt to distract from the a legit western role in the pipeline attacks. the western media is bombarded by the news that the investigation into the terrorist attacks against nordstrom has
5:23 am
a version 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've received since 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
5:24 am
the white house. i'd 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 here 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 nord stream
5:25 am
to pipeline at its destruction. many look on and say this is 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 and they to cram one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russian rate that means tanks from troops crossing the border of ukraine again, then there will be we, there will be no longer a north stream to we will be going to do. now 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
5:26 am
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 the never going to say the never going to say i surrendered the just never going to do it. now see more hers is also indicated that he has further information to reveal regarding the destruction of nord stream to 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 in light of today's piece from the new york times legal immediate analyst line. also, as the mainframe media has resorted to repeating, instead of reporting while failing to carry any actual facts. i have read this
5:27 am
story. 10 times i keep thinking they, they must have cut off a portion of this just doesn't say anything. 3 authors, 3 from the once vaunted harold in new york times mainstream media today. i don't of it's american event western by mainstream media are repeaters, not reporters. they repeat their proxies, their agent here, their correspondence, they're, they're, they're propagandist who had the motor. if you ask somebody nord stream to a pipeline between russian, germany who would have the motor, who would benefit from this kui bono, we protest who benefits ask yourself and the 1st thing is i was russia. how does that work? well, because there so evil what, what?
5:28 am
yes, because this evil nose no nose, no sanity is what is 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, what happened? i, i didn't think you're really 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
5:29 am
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 road to dive down? i don't know how many meters use whatever equipment is available to story of so preposterous from the beginning. and meanwhile, nobody is ever said to see more harsh. you're incorrect because of such and such, are your fax or that that paper. 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
5:30 am
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 had an interest where the united states of america. it is also because mr. biden is facing a re election campaign that is going 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 the studio. and the newspaper inside the, our own sling to friends atlantic think tanks very closely and for the government who made this attacks almost being wrong and more into.
