against or draft law that would bring in some media outlets and companies as foreign agents. an u. s. and german media outlets claim a pro ukrainian group was behind the attack on the north stream pipelines but russia dismiss is an attempt to shift the blame away from the alleged western involvement with willing to live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. and we begin with the latest from the city of our to mosque, also known as back move. the head of the wagner group says that russian forces have taken control over the eastern part of the key city. he added that the russian army now has the most modern military capabilities. and that taking control over the
6:02 am
city will allow russian forces to advance further into the drum and bass. you, you stall, fuels is the world has not yet encountered the russian army being so well trained and equipped with units that have not yet entered the battle. which have a multitude of modern weapons and intelligence capabilities, perfectly prepared there waiting in the wings to make an entrance. after wagner's hand aren't tied up to the capture of bachman, i wanted resolution enzo lansky. i am grateful that you have decided to fight in bachman. we ask you to take the elderly and children out of baltimore and send normal comic ready units for unless archie mosque has been a focal point at furious battles between ukrainian and russian forces, art, easy, garage, it are not followed. wagner fighters, 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 bar, moot or tom,
6:03 am
of among the wagner fighters. they got nicknamed as the 3 ox. basically they provided perfect cover for their foes. and well, the battle for this particular neighborhood. while it was very difficult, you can hardly walk the streets here. mortar shells were overhead and dropped a few blocks away. an occasional stray bullet whistles and smacks into a brick wall and overwhelming aria of death in which wagner plays the main part horrible. it was hard to boost an amount of here. look at them, braziers on the houses, the animals ready for our attacking. 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
6:04 am
nato supplied equipment. caves, thirst for their blood is unmatched. what you see here is somewhat a novelty. honda dumbass front, these are american claymore mines there have been 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 k of 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 boot, basically across the river in the red building. there's already a reconnaissance and surveillance point of the ukrainian troops wasn't done by checking the crates. we know who produced the mines for our opponents mortar.
6:05 am
utilize these boxes were clearly produced in ukraine. see the labels, all of them are green, but 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, 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 walk up to a new reality. now they were unwelcome guests in their own homes, mortars rockets and guns to launch them were spooned in their backyards as an eviction notice. all road junctions and intersections in buck moved 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
6:06 am
a fortress. overcoming heavy opposition inevitably comes at a cost musicians showcase the price the ukrainian side had to pay here. those wanted here died because they couldn't evacuate them like this one. for example. there were about 8 enemy competence here in limbo and 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 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. diflucan wagner. troops might be just past the overture to their back mood symphony. there's nary a doubt among them though, they'll be the ones to strike the final victorious cord. and my gosh, darn of reporting from the dumbass r t. oh,
6:07 am
not of the capital of georgia were riot police have been dispersing protesters using tear gas and water candidates. that's after rioters broke through a barricade near the country's parliament while attempting to storm the building and a protest against a new foreign agent law. ah . road traffic in the city has been blocked with mass or rest also reported. some of the protesters were seen growing molotov cocktails and stones, at least leaving several officers injured. ambulances arrived to help treat any casualties. earlier on tuesday, the proposed law sparked clashes between george and lawmakers and side parliament. thus, despite the initiative, which the u. s embassy in the country has described as crum,
6:08 am
one inspired being approved by a majority of mts ortiz. marina coaster has more details. this, a foreign agent law basically means that any organization's receiving foreign funding have to register as foreign agents. basically that they are working in the interest 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 they 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,
6:09 am
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, which we well know, serves as completely different purpose. those who support law and those quoted for this law are violating constitution. you're taking us all away from europe also so that she stands next to the processes with them to support them. and she said that they represent the fleet, georgia today at georgia that sees itself, that sees a future with in europe. this is why we can see some of the crowds there waving the new flag and then chancing slogans of support. they're now even though she said that she could repeal the law across her death, the ruling, the dream party are said to have the parliamentary majority. so it's unclear whether shall be actually able to veto that. now, georgia has already been warned by the wes regarding this legislation, for example on tuesday that you released the statement saying that this draft
6:10 am
legislation is incompatible with you values and sanders. and it could have serious precaution on the country and their relationship in the future. and of course, the united states, back in february, they also see the statement that the u. s. department spokespersons that anyone both and for this legislation could also jeopardize george as relationship with the europe and the united states. and also let's have a look at the statements released by the u. s. embassy enjoyed 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. presume these laws will damage george's relations with his strategic partners and undermine the important work of so many ga organisations working to help their fellow citizens, the process, and the draft laws res, real questions about the ruling parties,
6:11 am
commitment to euro, atlantic integration. so we have the stand of scenes which resulted already in classes as we're seen. sort of eerily echoing what we saw and key back in 2014 after they didn't want to sign the e association agreement. so we'll monitor the situation and see how it ends, how it unfolds, if this is it's, or if we'll continue. we spoke earlier to a political analyst and founder of the seek up foundation who sets the western countries or supporting the protesters because the law could hampered their influence in georgia. there is a political rivalry between the government was to have more independence in decision making. not looking at western arise, the other hand, people who seem bad for the devices don't call it the worst, is something that helps us to get better get closer to your future president coming in for having these 4 western ideas. so he's probably, he's to do, the protested,
6:12 am
but i don't think that even president has more than our government rest. georgia might really slow if may be a bit more complicated to be involved, the political life of georgia society. that is why you're not this for medical, which has the same to to law is again this more because you're not just america and sufficient. don't want to have some obstacles. the same is with you. but i would like to mention that having any will doesn't mean that can make some barrett. and so both execution of the role in north about accepting the floor in general, the kremlin has dismissed the latest reports from western media that lay the blame for the word stream pipeline attack on a quote pro ukrainian group as a coordinated distraction, which draws attention away from previous theories of a western involvement and last years bombing of the russian pipelines,
6:13 am
these clients also contradict the recent investigation by award winning journalist seymour hersh, who alleged that the u. s. government was involved in the attack. officials who have reviewed the intelligence, said they believed the 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 minister spokeswoman also says that the reports are an attempt to distract from the alleged western role in the pipeline attacks. the western media is bombarded by the news that the investigation into the terrorist attacks against nordstrom has 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
6:14 am
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 back last 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 house on 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
6:15 am
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 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
6:16 am
observers are taking no doubt if russia invade to cram one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russia reach me, tanks or troops crossing the border of ukraine, again, there will be, there will be no longer a north stream to we will bring an end 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 on that seems to be what's going on. now at this point we've got see more her saying that
6:17 am
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 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 and light of today's piece from the new york times legal and media analysts, lionel 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 just doesn't say anything. 3 authors,
6:18 am
3 from the ones vaunted harold in new york times mainstream media. today. i don't of it's american of western, but mainstream media are repeaters, not reporters. they repeat their proxies, their agent, they're, they're correspondent, they're there, they're propagandist who had demoted. if you ask somebody nord stream to a pipeline, which in russian, germany who would have the motive who would benefit from this coin, bono, qui pro dest. oh, 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 nose no nose, no sanity is what this evil apparently doesn't know. so now you have this which all
6:19 am
of us that now let me also tell you, i don't want to to make it even more complicated or, or seemingly complicated because it is so obvious. when you have 2 leading officials saying, if you do this, that nord scream is true. and what happened? now come on. come on. why are we even discussing this? how is it to people? what are they happened to say that really? that was just an expression. when i said something bad, what happened? i, i didn't think you 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 or above water for that matter. doesn't it? take a lot of effort, aren't these pipelines really encased in concrete or
6:20 am
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 hersh. you're incorrect because of such and such. are your fax or that that 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. we heard from german politicians here 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,
6:21 am
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 where the united states of america. it's 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 journalist in germany, it's not the studio. and the newspaper inside the link to trans atlantic think change very closely and they're gonna make this a tax on all stream wrong and most 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 version which it brought him to live by a single hersh seems to me
6:22 am
a bit more likely to be the truth than what happens now. a polish state own oil company is planning to see russia over the halt of supplies from a pipeline that transports oil to eastern europe is by warsaw being inactive proponent of anti russian energy sanctions. it 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 upset that russia won't take poland money any more. poland has been going out of its way to act as ukraine's teachers pack within the ear going around publicly bullying its 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,
6:23 am
which he used to strengthen his army. nord stream is an example. although we were called russia 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
6:24 am
a contract without sanctions. we would expose ourselves to large fines and that money would go to putin anyway. 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 or well then to have to pay a massive fine for stopping it. close 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,
6:25 am
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. rushing into your momentum. we are not dependent on russian get supplies at the moment. ok, so it may be that through that elegy, terminals of neighboring countries through which gas quantities come russian molecules are the gas makes it that can neither be controlled nor excluded. but german companies did not buy elegy gas from russian companies or russia, whatever he makes a sound like rushing yas, his imposing itself on germany like some kind of a crazy acts like, well, we try 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 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
6:26 am
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 costs to buy energy and to, to re route it 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
6:27 am
cost. so good luck with our 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 dumped them to russia. now, where 3 earthquakes have hit, just south of the can chat, guy regent. the earthquake occurred in the pacific ocean near the southern tip of the cum chaka peninsula. according to the russian academy of sciences, the epicenter lay 340 kilometers away from the city of petro pablo's can chowsky at a depth of over 58 kilometers. there had been no reports of damage or casualties following the tremors. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah
