everyone ran russian journalists are constantly targeted by the key of regime. that's the response from the russian foreign ministry to the attack. also condemning the west for turning a blind eye to which time against war corresponded with good morning from moscow. this is our keener national with the latest world news updates. i'm fear ella, isabel, it's great to have you with us. and we start today with our main story high profile russian war journalist landline to tar ski, has been killed in an explosion in a cafe in russia's northern capital st. petersburg, at least 31 other people, 8 of whom are said to be in serious condition, were wounded in the blast, including a child. this video shows the moment of the blasts of heard at the cafe,

where the war reporter and blogger had been hosting an event. as you can see on the footage, the buildings windows were blown out by the force of the explosion. eye witnesses describe the moment of the attack through the sleeves but short of the of the book . i think my friend and i were walking towards the university embankment and at the time we heard an explosion. it was a dull explosion like a pop. after about 10 to 15 minutes, we found ourselves in the heart of the event. we didn't realize at the time that it was a terrorist attack, but we understood that it wasn't safe for us to be there. at the time, we saw that many wounded people were coming out. there were 2 ambulances, fire fighters were nearby. people were being carried out on stretchers. a warning you may find the falling foot. it's disturbing. this for the chose the aftermath of the attack from inside the st. food bar venue. we blurred some other distressing

images of the victim. the cafe was left devastated by the force of the blast with a wreckage of tables and chairs scattered over the room among the debris. here, we can see some more footage from outside the site of the glass. this video, released by the russian investigative committee shows as a force of the blast which blew out the cafes windows. the cafes interior is almost unrecognizable with the ceiling collapsing in the explosion. we heard from one of the victims of the blasts who was taken to the hospital for treatment and who spoke to tar ski just moments before the explosion. will yeah, shows us as whimsical. i was talking to my compatriot bloodline to, to our school. i managed to ask him a couple of questions and then the blast happened after that i left the building with everybody else. so fortunately, the police and ambulance arrived very quickly, expressed immense gratitude to the doctors. they're just saints. i take my head off to them for my mother to darcy was

a prominent figure in the online community of war. time correspondence, the 40 year olds, real name was maxim fulman, and he, himself was from the don bass. he fought in the early stages of the conflict from 2014 to 2017, in the logan's people's militia. this experience led to him becoming one of the most followed war correspondents before his death. amassing an audience of over half a 1000000 on social media. in this cctv video, a woman is seen entering the cafe, where the blast happened carrying a box. she suspected to be the person who brought the explosive device into the building, which was eventually given to flatland to tarkey. meanwhile, the russian investigative committee has conducted a search of sir suspects apartments. the federal security service is also reportedly at the scene. according to media reports, a family member of the suspect has been detained while the woman who brought the

device to the site is still at large. or correspondent dawn quarter is on the ground in saint petersburg with the latest update. but you can see right behind me is the cafe, where this blast took place and the aftermath in general of the blast, you could see the destruction that that explosion wrought on that cafe. you can also see that 1st responders are on the scene as well as government investigators trying to get to the bottom of what exactly happened here. so far, one person has been killed. the russian war correspondent blood lend to tar ski. he was 40 years old and really rose to fame after the beginning of russia's military operation and ukraine. now right now, around $700.00 police officers are searching around the city for a girl that i witnesses are saying brought a statue with an explosive device inside and handed it over to glad len petoskey. during his event at this cafe, let's take

a listen to what i witnesses had to say about it. until i know i'm going to the worst. she took the microphone and started asking questions, and she said, do you remember lathan? i gave you a postcard. he said, is this the one you drew? yeah, she replied, yes. then she continued. now i would like to give you a statue. when she said that when she entered the cafe, she was asked whether it was a bomb and was asked to leave the statue at the entrance. then she brought it to the stage and gave it to brandon. it was a golden head in the helmet. it didn't look like a flat when it and everyone laughed and they put it down, they put it back, and suddenly everything exploded. the smoke appeared, and then everything was like in slow motion, everyone ran. those who were nearby were covered in blood. i saw the counseling and room and when everything happened, she came out with me half to me after some tom from 2 to 10 minutes to an explosion account from my seat. it looked like smoke and fire somewhere in the distance, people came out and the girl came out with everyone else. there was

a crowd to drown out some one normal looking discount, and some had red blood is smudges under faces. my name is dana cordova, my friends and i was in russia's investigative committee, is investigating this incident as a murder. it's also said that it's possible this girl did not know that there was an explosive device inside the statue. this also has to do with reports that, that her bag was actually checked before she entered the building by a security guards who cleared that bag for entry. but it's important to understand that this is just one of several explanations for what exactly happened that the investigative committee is looking into right now. but according to one friend of an organizer of this event where the explosion took place, he says that this is the most likely scenario. just a good example. 99 percent certain that the statuette exploded. who gave him the statute? do you know anything about it? they say that a woman introduce herself,

said she was from list. uh huh. i don't know whether it's true or not. this is a book stool. oh, let's go to specials that i can tell me about the get an invitation with them or what's maybe there was a list. i know what any records of these people shortage for g hills. ah, i can't say because i'm not the only organizer, but the fact that everyone will be found. that's for sure. while we've heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's a har of a, she said, and this is despite the fact that t f has rejected involvement. in this incident, she said that that russian journalists are facing more and more seriously grave threats from kiev and ukraine. and the west is basically turning a blind eye to all that russian journalists are constantly hearing death threats from the keep regime. and his supporters, which are increasingly being implemented there, harassed branded and lira sans with special markings on the digital platforms of american internet. monopolies, well, there is a witch hunt in the western media. all this happens with the tactic, disregard of the romans international structures which now can be interpreted as an

approval if not complicity. in any case of the violent death of a russian journalist which was assessed by the key of regime and his thugs as a success. neither western countries nor international organizations, nor foreign professional communities, conduct investigations. they didn't even show elementary human sympathy. not so long ago, the west was fighting extreme, has been terrorism, marching with the united, from paris in defense of journalists against whom terrorist attacks were committed to day, the lack of reaction, the white house down street, the alizae palace, et cetera, given they are claimed, concerned for the welfare of journalists and freedom of journalism speaks for itself at all. also, some reports that the police may have detained one girl that may have been that girl who passed over the statuette to laud lunch to tar skia. according to these reports, this is a, it was a girl that has been detained in the past and anti government retro demonstration several times. i've even allegedly transferred money to an organization that is considered an extremist organization in the russian federation. although these

reports are unconfirmed, we will continue to bring you new details as we become available. we discuss the latest with radio host and political commentators, steve gill and journalist and political analysts, john rowley, who say that there is a possibility of foreign involvement in the attack, which was aimed at sewing fear in russian society as well as silencing journalists . it is tragic that the u. s. government that the eastern a government's western governments in europe have failed to speak out and condemn this murder of a journalist. even if we don't know all the details, even if we don't know the full factor behind it. i don't think it's too early to say this is an atrocity that everybody should mildly condemn, you know, i've spoken out loudly for a long time about the lack of journalistic questioning and, and the lack of skepticism by western media when they simply pair it. the

propaganda being dispensed by the ukrainian government about what's going on in this conflict from the very beginning. western media has not been curious about what the reality is on the ground in ukraine. i've pointed out repeatedly the lack of journalists on the, on the front minds on the russian side of this conflict. again, they simply repeat, they're the propaganda ukrainian side without embedding journalist, as we see in every other conflict. on the other side, in in bach mood, in the john bass region. and now we're seeing that journalists who have been reporting from that side of the arena are being murdered. as we see in this case, whether or not it was directed by the ukrainian government, whether it was assisted by western european governments or the u. s. you know, they've denied being involved in other atrocities, including the, the bombing of the nordstrom pipeline of the bombing of the bridge that was referred reference to earlier in the story. the credibility of the west is being

lost in this fight, a lot quicker than the ukrainian soldiers are being lost in this fight. it is certainly an effort to shut up journalist journals for trying to report the truth or to truth over the past 9 years. british and americans are training, ukrainian terrorists and sabotage groups. within your time, you poured that that's almost a year ago. so think of how much they've done, how many people they have trained to commit terrorist attacks sabotaged attack in the past year. goal of these people were behind the attack is to create more fear and panic, and rush to psyche to and for people to russians to start to doubt their own government. so it is also secular warfare and you're trying to say that the russian government can keep things. but in what should we have reckless people in power in washington, in london, in brussels. and they're the ones who are pushing, trying to push russia to do something extremely rash that could ignite a major war in the entire continent. using the ter, tara method is quite, you know,

it's just part of the rule book by which natal operates and fortune again. as an american, i'm disgusted by this earlier art a show about spoke to my colleague union o'neill about the important role to starsky, played and covering frontline stories in the don bass. well, i think it's important to say that there's huge shock and there's anger, i think, as well. friends and colleagues are sort of making statements, which are, you know, dumfounded at this event in the center of a large city. the 2nd city, if you like to, of russia to free media has become anything but free and those that are portraying themselves as the defenders of freedom of speech have become essentially quite the opposite. in some ways violin petoskey was the man killed. he's a well known figure, online che prominence as well in his work at ticket through what's known about him . vladin petoskey, his real name. actually maxime,

a foam in it for 2 years old. he hails from a place called mackie in dumbass. it's, it's, it's, it's a smaller town and done. it's a city, but it's, it's adjoining it. it's essentially a conservation of $22.00 towns. so he would have grown up in a don at skin, the don bass a he fought during the initial stages of this conflict between 20142017, in the dumbass. lou haskell malicious. so he would have had a 1st hand knowledge of the conflict or he would have been essentially a local, a man who would have had significant contacts and access to the front lines, which i think would have fed into his huge following. and he was a prominent blogger, and, and a journalist that you say over 560000 a followers on the telegram platform. and anyone who uses telegram as millions now due to access 1st hand information, i would tell you that the 560000 followers is

a significant following on telegram russian war correspondence as well as other media figures. believe there are certain power allows to be drawn with a similar attack that took the life of another prominent journalist do going to last year. she was killed in a car bomb attack in august 2022. daria was a journalist and the daughter of a prominent russian philosopher, moscow claimed ukrainian security forces were. * responsible for that attack, something kiev denies. we heard from former us marine and geo political analysts. john mark again believes there's been an effort to st. silence pro russian journalists using violence means i was surprised because, you know, i lost another colleague several months ago. dory deanna and, you know, we had spent time in dumbass together and we did some projects together. and now

him, and, you know, i have to say maybe some anger because you only see this happening to the russian journalists. you don't see the russians bombing any journalists in the west . there was a lot of thought that obviously went into this fits if the details are correct, that we're hearing now that a lot of thought went into this. and same thing with dory deanna. a lot of thought went into carrying out her attack as well. so certainly it could have been the same group. they had to have some intelligence and they had to have significant research to do this beforehand. we've seen the west, they are doing everything they can to silence the journalists that are either the even neutral or have a pro russian stance. so they're doing everything they can with the censorship or

monetization or deletion of their social media channels. and even resorting to these bombings now, like i said, you don't see this happening to western journalists or ukrainian journalists done at the hands of russian forces. now, you only see this terrorist activity done by ukraine and people from the west coming in in killing russian journalists because they don't want their points of view to be heard. they have no defense against it, so they have to hide. the truth is coming out of their mouth. every terrorist attack we have seen in this operation has been done by the ukrainian military for the west and were talking yes, just do not just use car bombings, but we're talking about the bridge to crimea. we're talking about the nurturing pipeline, every single significant terrorist attack, or every single terrorist attack has been carried out by these western elements.

and it's really, it's, it's disturbing. according to independent dutch journalists, tanya vendor and they're ukranian, security services want to show they can hit targets, not only in don, bye, but also in major russian cities. this is the 2nd estimation. we can say after that, you know, they were proven, and russian blogger, journalist, a political analyst, and then it's the woman again, i think, don't think it's exodus me there. 2 times it's done by a woman into major cities, chris, this was most call and now we have said because book. so they clearly want to make a statement that fee we can most likely it's done by the end to be you ukrainian intelligence service, with the help of western intelligence services. we all know like me and also on the middle east and all the journalists who are reporting from the us. and this is

terrible. so actually the war has come to a russian soil and not only from ukrainian, but i think there should be a connection with western intelligence services. flatland petoskey with featured in our documentary only last month. dedicated to a firefighter friend of his who was killed on the battlefield in don bass. it was one of his last interviews. yes, local. no sir. i got to know entree when we had a youtube channel called grayson, the channel administrator suggested recording a video with a firefighter from st. petersburg that we taught online. i liked what he was doing under i wanted to go to the conflicts side. i was trying to convince him not to. he was opinion lead a man of words. yeah. he wouldn't listen and came anyway. we burnett, mario called back then he learned ready fast. he got into heavy fighting for oglethorpe and pavlov. unfortunately, he was killed by mine together with his friend. he was also

a fire fighter from st. petersburg. they turn on our website for a closer look at our top story today. the explosion in st. petersburg which killed russian war corresponded, flatland sitarski. find out more about the late reporters background, see eye witness accounts and footage from the scene of the attack, as well as the latest updates on the ongoing investigation. visit our t dot com to keep up to speed. stay tuned. now to the latest developments on the front line and don bass, the founder of the wagner, private military groups as the city of our deal, most also known as bach moot, is formerly under the control of russian forces. there's been no official confirmation yet from moscow. in this video footage, wagner had he of guinea pig origin can be seen raising a flag over the city hall. sir, we are better. the 2nd of april 11 p. m shop. there is the city administration

building behind me. this is the russian flag with an inscription in good memory, have flatland, taught escape to your a backward is under our control and the commanding officers of the units that took the city hall and he sent over backward will carry and hoist these banners. this is the p. m. g. wagner. banner. these are the guys who have captured the city. the enemy remains in the west of the city while as we have just heard, according to the statements all for you. have jenny pre gulshan, the head ofa, wagner, a private military company. his volunteer units are currently in control of our to tell moscow that says city here in dunn escrow public, that's the key of regime have renamed as bob, back in 2016. now, the city is of paramount strategic significance, both to russia and ukraine and a win on a battlefield. there allows the russian armed forces to advance further towards the cities of slowdowns. can chromebooks or scans,

that's another major stronghold of the ukrainian military and currently an occupied territory older the nest republic. now 4 key of it was important to hold on there in order to keep up the morale in the army and keep and sacked. it says 70 kilometer defensive line and efforts to gain control over almost have been viewed differently by the west overtime in the early stages. western officials and it media claimed that it's of principal importance to ukraine and recently, with russia's advances in the area. they have been saying that losing art almost bears absolutely no strategic value to give we talked to political scientists and retired u. s. military officers, thought bennett, who said if russia takes control over our deal, most, it would lay the groundwork for further victories. well, essentially the capture of buck moot terms, the end of the war,

nearly for a russian victory. this is essentially a turning point that russia and the wagner group specifically, has demonstrated its superior capacity in destroying the ukrainian military. despite its support by nato and european proxies, and i think this is a tremendous morale booster for the russian forces. it's a moment of grand liberation for the people who've been living under the tyranny of the ukrainian races, nazi's that were employed and financed by the west. and i think it is going to now really avalanche and translate into a quickening operation from russia. and this attack that just occurred in st. petersburg is going to accelerate russia's push for absolute victory and an absolute annihilation of every zelinski nazi radical in the government. so

back move is a strategic turning point of victory for russia. but this event in st. petersburg is going to be gasoline thrown on the russian fire that will very quickly accelerate rushes, absolute uncompromising conquest and cleansing of ukraine from this nazi scourge that has been building there since 2014. that's our up on the our thanks for joining us. for the latest breaking news and updates had over to r t dot com and don't forget to follow up on all social media platforms. you'll see a back on top of the hour. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic or development only personally and
