[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, what have you done? i brought the statue that exploded the main so spades and a terror thought that the life of a prominent russian journalist agrees to cooperate with law enforcement. as of the moscow accused ukrainian forces of being behind the attack circuit president says his doors are closed for the us ambassador in ankara as the last that meets with the opposition presidential candidate. how did i see the arrest? a warrant for vladimir putin is likely, based on a contradictory report for that at least as, according to the great news outlets. where we found, just in looking at the citations and foot notes at the yale h r l. a paper which was sponsored by the state department that they didn't even follow their own citations

with. you're watching aussie international, almost been another busy news day with one story of course, dominating the headlines. i'm peter scott. and welcome to the program. and we started out with our developing top story, the killing of a russian war correspondents and a cafe in st. petersburg was a terror attack upon by ukrainians. special services was, according to the russian anti terrorism committee, made suspects of the murder. daria trevor has just arrived at the st. petersburg investigative department authority say they've completed the initial examination of the flat, where she was staying at jeff, who has admitted that she was the one that brought the statute that exploded to the site. do you understand why you have been detained? i am detained for being at the scene of flatland to task. he's killing. what have you done? i brought the sachi there,

exploded us. who gave it to you. can i tell you later? cuz i'm standing right in front of the cafe, where the explosion took place. and you can see behind me some flowers that locals have laid down there to pay their respects to the fallen war journalists of lad lend to tar sky, who many had lots of reverence for russia's anti terrorism committee. has declared this a terrorist attack organized by key of with the help of agents from the anti corruption foundation, which is an extremist organization in the russian federation, founded by the imprisoned russian anti government activists. alex, a novelty now in connection to this. russia's investigative committee confirmed its detention of daria trap of a that's important. understand because there were reports in the media saying that she was detained for hours and hours even before we got this confirmation. and the reason why it's connected to this is because she had a connections, according to these media reports to the anti corruption foundation. she had been

arrested several times in the past at anti government demonstrations. and according to these reports, she also had been sending money to the anti corruption foundation. again, an organization which is considered an extremist organization within the russian federation. the russian interior ministry even released a video confession in which daria trap of a says that she was the one who brought this explosive statuette that i witnesses said they saw a girl bring into this event key of denied any involvement in this explosion. in this incident, but that's not exactly out of the ordinary because last year when another high profile russian journalist, daria do gonna, i was assassinated key. i've also rejected any sort of having a hand in it, or any sort of participation in the organization of that assassination. but of course we're still investigating the story. we're still following the latest updates and we'll bring to the latest as they become available. this video shows the moments of the blast of the cafe,

where the reports on blogger had been hosting events. the company has said that ukraine is behind the inside, which care denies. there is information that the ukrainian services are involved in the planning of this terrorist attack, and this is definitely a terrorist attack. and we wish a swift recovery to those who suffered in the blast and sent condolences to tar ski's relatives. the president was immediately informed russia in a stand off with the key of regime, which is behind the murder of de geena and killing of people since 2014. and that's why the special military operation is ongoing. what's the task? it was a prominent figure in the online community of wall correspondence. the 40 year olds, real name was maxime foreman, and he himself was from the dumbass he, forth in the early stages of the conflict from 2014 to 2017. in the old guns people's militia, as the experienced lead to him becoming one of the most followed war correspondence with an audience of over half a 1000000 people. will elliot we intelligence officer,

scott ritter. he says the ukrainian mid of 40 it's kill list is a major threat to any one with a pro russian stance on the western countries are ignoring it. we don't know if the that the assassination of mr. foreman was done by a mere torrance, was it done by some sort of radicalized wing of them? the volunteer group whom the investigation is on going up at the bottom line is for some time now. hundreds of journalists have been marked for death by the ukrainian regime. we know of to recently a mr. kena. now mr. foam and a who have been killed. and you know, there are americans on this. i've been listed as number one on the ukrainian, the center for countering disinformation list of cro. russian propaganda signed by war criminal and information terrorist. busy and there are others out there like me . and i, i think that the silence of the united states, the sounds of the collective west is,

is definitely the denial by the key of government is not surprising. well, we'll let the forensics determine, you know, where the finger pointing should be. and i believe the russian security services are very good at carrying out a forensic based investigations and they will come to the bomb it. ready but let there be no doubt we are in the midst of an information war that has taken on a life and death aspect of it. if you dare speak up, publish a somehow articulate in a manner that is seen as an affront by those in chia by those in washington d. c. by those in london, paris, brussels are anywhere in the collective west. you, your life is at risk. there is no free speech in the west. there is a price to be paid for free speech, and mr. foaming is to speed that price. a residence of russia's northern capital are bringing flowers to the university embankment near the sides of the tops keys,

death. the scene of the blast itself has been cold enough while law enforcement officers continue the investigation. worse and walkers spun and believe that there are some parallels to be drawn with the attack last year. that took the life of another prominent journalist, dahlia, duke. and now she was killed in a cobble last august. and daria was the daughter of the prominent, but sometimes controversial russian philosopher. moscow claims that you couldn't in security forces were responsible for that to talk about something that can denied. we heard from former us marine job ma do again. he believes that there's been an effort to silence some pro russian journalists. i was surprised because the, you know, in the, i lost another colleague several months ago. doria, 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 journalist. you don't see the russians bombing any journalists in the west. there was a lot of thought that obviously went into this in 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, demonization, 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 erred. they have no defense against it. and so they have to hide the truth just 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 the not just the car bombings, but we're talking about the bridge to crimea. we're talking about the nurturing pipeline. every single significant can terrorist attack, or every single terrorist attack has been carried out by these western elements. and it's really, it's, it's disturbing over to our website for

a closer look at our top story today. the explosion in st. petersburg of course, that killed russian war correspondent, lovelyn petoskey. you can find out more about the reports is background, see eye witness accounts as well as footage from the scene of the attack, as well as the latest updates on the ongoing investigation. so you can get all that and much more over on r t dot com. moving to another turkish president, richard type earth one has said that his door, the now closed to the us and buster to ankara. jeff lake. we will teach turkey and especially the u. s a lesson at the next elections. what is biden's envoy doing? he goes and meets with mr. come all shame on you. use your brain. you are an ambassador, or interlocutor, here is the president. how will you ask for a meeting with the president after this? our doors are close to him now. why to let him know his limits? or the remarks follow a meeting between the earth and boy and

a turkish opposition. parties top leadership candidates late last month, presidential and parliamentary elections in 15. 3 shadowed for may, the 14th. well, to discuss this further as cost live now to the foreign news. aha, but t v live sub g o lou l e. thanks so much for joining us this afternoon on nazi. now, 1st of all, i just want to get your reaction to one statement to the u. s. and busted anchor that these doors are now close to me, something quite the quite the statement. well, peter, thank you so much for having me. let's start by saying that. 7 moving on to your question, i would say that our reaction is actually not very shocked, because you have to consider this statement for at present. i know that it is actually a sign of the history of the diplomacy. he reminded the u. s. ambassador, that the ambassadors in the world won't see actually has to act indifferent to the

inner politics because as you may know, effective, teach them them, teach them and left him, he quote, unquote, sat. this is the reason because turkey comes from a huge history with diplomacy. church diplomacy depends on the democracy in good relations between the countries that turkeys allied with and so on. and so, yes i was, i was the court, the court, the statement that said he wants to teach the u. s. a or the lesson or the next elections. i'm what do you think? i mean, how do you think this represents us to care relations as a whole? obviously it's a key has been criticized for it. so it's, it's continued diplomatic relations with russia over the war in ukraine. when you see on the, i was, i was, he took, he has, you know, put a bit of a spoke in the works temporarily for sweden, on, on finland's, a session to nato. how do you see the relation to develop? and especially if one is re elected in may, well,

you understand the situation between, sorry, g and united states, you have to know that turkish diplomacy is not only focused on one perspective. so some countries has an issue and the issue is that problem overall before it being result. so this is not the situation. the turkish diplomacy, turkey, the whites, the problems and puts them in different boxes and tries to cooperate with the ally . even there is a difference between them. so this is the situation. this is what we are seeing at the moment. though he has a conflict with the united states about the visit of the ambassador, and just like though in the conflicts from the past, turkey is not going to stop saying that the winning out to the problem. but that does not mean necessary that, that doesn't necessarily mean that it actually is going to cause

a overall problem between the countries. turn key will try to continue with the good relations owned the parts that there are relations to go on. but this is going to be something to resolve. this is going to be something to talked about because you may remember the present by that actually before being president has stated out left that they want prisons are going to be gone. and this coming with the, he's in boy coming to talk with the pollution party in the inner politics of turkey, which is not related to neither with the united states. morbid any country in grow . this is 18 or position attribute people do going to this type. they are next president, they're going to decide whether they're going to stick with present or not. but this is not an issue of war ambassadors or any foreign policy amboy

and comparing to present biden's earlier statements about years ago. the for he was a president. and now he's them was the thing to the a position parties later. it actually comes up at b, as you can see. so this is a part of the so that it thinks that it, that does need it to be polluted with between turkey and the u. s, but overall relationships are improving. so the sites that are improving is going to be taken edge diplomacy steps to buy long as we do white sil influence people's votes when they go to the polls in may. well, the people did. this is the positions of division of people as journal. we are not entitled to make a comment about it, but i can say that those are different situations and turkish people have their own con science, and they have their own app,

which isn't think over them. think about them and make their woods and do their war things about this. what accordingly. so pretty, they're gone about earthquakes has stated that in one year he's going to reveal the cities that are being destroyed. so in the other hand, the position has their own statements and they, i went to say the things about the earthquake. but as you may know, the earthquake is actually one of the biggest disasters in detroit, michigan history of the region in general, the bank. so magnetic it is actually making us, i doubt that situation because we haven't seen anything like this before. and we surely hope that the world in general, not just turkey, is not going to see anything like this ever again. we, this is our hope. so it is really interesting time war,

the world diplomacy and policy politics because we do not know what we are going to see. and the, what is going to come out from the election is actually going to be taking into consideration whether there is a big gap between the parties are not, is going to, of course, the situation with doors. quake is going to have an impact. but we are yet to see what kind of impact it is going to have. and this is up to the confines of those people where we, we will have to wait and see and find out. indeed, i was there in turkey during those earthquakes and is extremely tragic and hiring event. a leave saw jailer for news that it's a, it's a how about tv. thank you very much for your time and your for today. i'm sure you again on the program. when the elections kickoff employee, thank you so much. ah, after months of back and forth, nato sexy general has announced that she on tuesday,

finland will become the 31st member of the block. this is a historic a week. to morrow we will. um, welcome finan. as the 31st member of nato making feel them say, for an hour alliance, stronger with the move comes as the turkish president odon has approved the ratification of finland's application to join nato. me, while russian deputy foreign minister, alexander goosgo, has said that russia would respond to finland's, a session. we will strengthen our military potential in the direction of the west and northwest in case of the deployment of forces and assets of other nato members on the territory of finland. we will take additional steps to ensure the reliable military security of russia on us, the latest developments on the front line in the dawn bass. the founder of the wagner, private military group, says this city of bachman, also known as our char mac, os chalmers. excuse me, is formerly under the control of russian forces and has been no official

confirmation yet from moscow. in this video footage, the varner had give guinea p gorgine can be seen raising a flag over the city hall. sir, way up in the 2nd of april 11 p. m. shop there is the city administration building behind me. this is the russian flag with an inscription and good memory of flatland tart escape. do you are 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. well as we have just heard, according to the statements all for you, jenny, pre gulshan, the head ofa, wagner, a private military company. his volunteer units are currently in control of our hotel mosque 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 cromer tours, kanza. that's another major stronghold of the ukrainian military and currently an occupied territory all the dentist 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 the viewed differently by the west overtime in the early stages. western officials and that media claimed that it's of principal importance ukraine and recently with russia's advances in the area. they have been saying that losing are almost bears absolutely no strategic value. to give that a we told to political scientists under todd u. s. military officer. scott bennetts, who says that if russia takes backwards,

it could lay the groundwork for more advances. well, essentially the capture of bach 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. busy building there since 2014 your van won't detain, buddy mc putin, if he finds himself on armenian soil, that's according to the nation's parliament, following an itc arrest warrant issued for the russian president of the investigative news site. the grey zone said the i c. c. order was inspired by a yell report that blames moscow for the adoption and re education of ukrainian

children. the report was just sponsored by the state department that was published in february this year. if all the warranty was issued. therefore, use the russian on ukraine. an open source media insert to the music. google translates on attempted to discern locations using satellites, imagery, no interviews were conducted apparently on the inquiry also admits the quotes. when the children were sent to the so called re education comes with the parent's consent and we were united with the families, us prearranged. it did not notes any mistreatment of the children, which directly contradicts e. i. c. c claims the grades and she says that their fault is full of contradictions. will that relates to the politicization of the i, c. c, something we're going to cover in the 2nd edition of this ongoing investigation. and it also raises the question about nathaniel raymond, the executive director of the yale humanitarian lab, which is funded by the state department. and according to raymond's own comments to my co author, jeremy le frida was essentially directed to carry out this investigation by the

state department. but when you look into the body of the report, or when raymond was challenged by my co author le fredo, it contradicts what he said in the media. for example, inside the e l h r a report, it says, and i quote that parents provide a center children to these campuses quote, to protect their children from ongoing fighting and ensure that they had nutritious food, of the sort, unavailable where they live. it also said that the campers were returned in a timely manner with the consent of and went with the consent of their parents for the most part. and that this, they found no evidence of child mistreatment. those are the exact words of this paper out further. these researchers did not conduct any on the ground investigation. they did not even seek to interview parents, families, children who attended the camps or to gain entrance to the camp. according to the documents of children funding, esc under gun square sensi various state from the camps. such russian institutions

are mostly aimed at the organisation of children's summertime activities. yes, janice jermel afraid of visited one of the russian government sponsored camps in question. i visited one of these camps 4 months ago, unaware that it would be so important to future war propaganda. i was invited to an old so be air hotel in bankruptcy. it turns out it was one of the so called camps or schools that prompted allegations of kidnapping abduction, reeducation. and eventually, in i c. c, arrest warrant funded by the russian government. this hotel was turned into a makeshift sleepaway camp for children from done yet in the guards who were interested in the musical ours, and whose parents wanted them away from the front lines. they called it the dumbass express. where yells reports has spot stormy reactions in weston media. though it would appear that very few have read the documents. the grey zones at it's in. she said the paper doesn't even follow its own citations. what we found,

just in looking at the citations and foot notes of the yale h r l paper, which was sponsored by the state department that they didn't even follow their own citations. for example, in order to claim that children are taken by train by the russian aviation ministry, and by vos to these russian government sponsored camps inside the russian federation. the authors linked to an article and re end of the, the russian state, media outlet about one such program for children from don. yes. and if you actually read the article that children are describing a wonderful summer program in which they were treated to nature walks and stunning views of mountain side landscapes that they and that they were grateful to be away from the war zone. so none of that was quoted in the article. instead the articles decided to make it seem like these children are being taken on cattle, cars to concentration camps. and that's the sort of language that raymond seeks to evoke in his public media appearances. so basically,

the paper doesn't follow its own foot notes. ah, a founded c french correspondence have been expelled by burkina, faso governments, amid deteriorates him relations between the country and his former colonial power. the explosions followed the publication of a french news investigation into a video that alleged to show children been executed by keno forces. the government strongly condemned the investigation calling it's a manipulation to tarnish the country's image. it's also previously suspended broadcast of to the french media outlets. funds 24 and radio fronts international. we spoke with a political analyst from molly. he thinks the parsa's media challenges are hypocritical as russia media has also been bought by western nations. some friends, mid. yeah. would like to try to say that there's a book enough, but who is changing it span in terms of security and partnership

with other countries. diffusion is, was and day or thought it is all big enough, also cannot see and look at boost, kind of give them formation. this kind of information telling the image of data albany, the image of their, their dollar met the image of dental to receive and to their mouth. they did this in europe. they brought some run the media like i would need one other kind of a rush. i'm again, i get the media for example, giving is very clear and of use information related to the conflict in good enough i saw enough it got the african view on or the crisis. ready on in this i have i don't even in the. ready world they want only the information coming from one site. we don't to one for a friend,
