magazine, mary, tom, the russian defense ministry reports advances on the front lines in ukraine as striking the country's energy infrastructure. and lots of the key ups forces hate them, electrical substation close to this i for rosa nuclear power plants. the cab is set to be palletized and the return of the cap to new, and that suffices for bits as obligate over regular military personnel, some of whom i've been waiting to go home for nearly 2 years. some of them spoke with us. many of us are losing spirits. we understand that our country doesn't want to take us back. to be honest, we tried to lie to ourselves, but in reality, it is what it is. tensions rochard off between india and canada have to new

delhi a key. this auto a hope of knowledge, controversial separate this movement to operate with infinity and it's terry 3. and so i'm the, i'm may not be hosting a us military command much longer if the opposition has its way as members say, the claims that the offer comes. presidents have a peaceful purpose, is misleading the people we want to be clear on what the government but if we use the piece from the zip, so we haven't seen any the what is these are the international reaching you live from a new sector with moscow? i have mike of what you, the russian forces as long as the series of overnight strikes against you,

drain pocketing energy infrastructure as well as a new nation and drove and stores long range air and sea launched weapons were used in what was said to be a response to repeat the type of process energy facility. the area key of forces had been the electrical substation and the city off and not a good data. while these are portals yet, nuclear power plant, which is europe's largest, is situated uh the operation of some of the plans infrastructure was disrupted due to the strike. and that's according to the local administration. repair work is currently on the way with the may, a confirming that parts of the city was left without power. and of course, and we were at the right to get a sub station which was a text my enemy, drones. yesterday. as a result, one of the transformers was damaged, that work is being carried out to fix the damage. as a result of this terrorist attack of parts of the city was left without electricity at the moment. as soon as the work is completed,

the city will be back to full power. at rest and updates from the defense ministry, moscow's troops said to have made gains and the dumbass inseparable. is your regents, while a canadian supplied send it to alma the car has been destroyed. the 1st loss of such a vehicle for you created during the war. early on the m o. d said the 37 ukrainian soldiers have survived that in the past week. are the, is more, i guess the i've spoke to some of them for the for these, you put into the war for now these over, instead of a sort of a foreign pins, they pull on judge bellows, we want all foot red tons to meet with. detain ukrainian troops? no one we spoke to regret at the decision. to surrender. oh yeah. knew it worst. i wouldn't be standing here. i could have been buried somewhere in the ground. have

you written to your parents the to solve and yes, i wrote them congratulated them even sent a video in 2023 more than 6 and a half 1000 to credit in troops who was, who so rented a car and to the pain in russia. moscow doesn't classify them as prisoners of war. now, the ukraine, russia has declared war on each of the officially. they are temporary detainees. never the less forwarded for the ukrainian representatives. the red cross sometimes come to check on them, make sure they're being treated well. the actually it's become infected. what happened? did you hit something? there was shrapnel there. they go to that in 2022. so it isn't clear why it's going

bad again. this is the result of old trap. no one's which is the dressing on the wound. he's getting better, so he only comes in every other day before do you gets less has to be small, but would show up. yes, i go full length is in 2 years. so i send a letter and get a reply 6 months later, that's how long it takes to get. i don't know that's just from my wife, my mother in my system. the last of the 1st lesson might be density to gain weight . i had t as in my eyes, they say made don't cry, but it turns out they do. security is tight. authorities take precautions against potential, ukulele and publications, even attacks gods and detainees alike. a well protected. they also had time to get used to each other. they come from all over some surrender, didn't marry you both in boston, most embody and i know most for the grudge such as she had a gay, who above,

who desires to see his 6 children. even if it means becoming a russian citizen. he just says in the email, i have unpleasant news. you will name has been on prisoner exchanged lives in the landscapes administration for 26 months. your name and all the other guys. they don't want to exchange you in that case. so i was probably besides the states, just because you're getting a rush of the bus barn and stay here. if it was possible. what about your family? i think my family would come join me. they see what's happening, know that i don't think anyone could accuse me of anything. and many of us are losing spirits. we understand that our country doesn't want to take us back to be honest. we tried to lie to ourselves, but in reality,

it is what it is. ukraine has predominantly exchange nationalist will high profile thought of those who just a few years ago. even the wes classified as extremist, such as, as all, tell me how do you feel, knowing that your own country doesn't want you back? before do i feel i feel wrecked? it's painful. i lived in my country, i pay taxes. i was honest. i fought for it, and the in my country doesn't want to take me back. for reasons i do not understand . please man, regular troops expend above have little cause for hope. especially now, given the latest changes, do you want to be exchanged? my family's in t if of course i want to be exchanged, it's used to be the officer and exchange. you would be the mobilized now the credit in parliament and the landscape of cost along,

which means also you were ton. you go back to the front lines, you solve the good law. what's the point of fighting alongside those who have bands and you way back when any person with us can. why fight for those who use? do you like kind of for the what do you tell them that you're done and they tell you to go charge of bullets? for most of these men have seen from the law and come back the full brunt of it. they have little appetites lift or are you willing to go back to the trenches store? i am not. yes. honestly, i will do everything to avoid it. yeah, sure. i am a religious man. i trust in god's plans. i do not believe any official in ukraine gets to decide whether i or any one of us lives. i believe in god issue that used to be that they hoped and waited. now,

they only waste coalesce dump in years. i would like to call them out governments to end this conflict, so they can sit down and negotiate. and of course bear us in mind because we are here and russian soldiers are also prisoners in ukraine. we will have families, mother assistance. we will need to go home more, i guess the oxy, the style of the country's car and the whole thing out on the crane there are those hoping for peace as well. demonstrate the subject to the streets close to the giant us add bass, drums, dine in germany. i protest as wave placards criticising may, doing cooling, for peace talks with russia. they also denounced the continuing supply of legal aid to ukraine and is here alone. the belly is provided 7000000000 euros, walk of military assistance on the supply. the equipment includes tags. i'm with vehicles, air defense systems, and drones jump. these also recently permitted ukraine to use some of the supplied

weapons to strike inside of russia, despite repeated incidents of civilians ending up in the firing line. and in a bid to swell its dwindling rags, key of it's now said to be seeking the use help and expediting any ukrainians who entered the block illegally to evade the ministry. so. 3 as you can read more on the story by heading over to our website, r t dot com, the tensions heating up between india and canada. new delhi has been out raised officer, a controversial separate. the separate is good group known as the palestine movement, was given permission to burn an effigy of the indian prime minister outside the cost of aid in vancouver. about incident came a day off to india, strongly criticized the canadian parliament for declaring aminet silence for deceit . separate his leader who usually considered as a terrorist,

india claims canada has allowed extremist to operate with infinity in the north african country. as we naturally oppose any moves, giving political space to extremism and those advocating widens time again. we have said that this is a matter of serious concern for us colostomy activities. we have been repeatedly calling upon the government of canada to take action. we have said that political space that is provided to extremes, defending the elements, and those advocating violence must stop and we must take action. it was easy to see the canadian ball. how do you see new jersey dismember? designate died last year in july. the government deals with you was did you do this? now?

you had denied all the charges. what was the all the city of austin moment of silence? a moment to silence the memory of hardy interesting is you're assassinated. siri, british columbia. one year ago today, i now invited, honorable members to ice the usually these are regions or models as well. so for you the most this more designs for jazz they need now this is not just on the mileage and it's very signed on by know this, how do you see me? he was he

was the deputy thomas is canada. so those last day cuz for his us as she was saying that he doesn't go virus and his phones. so susan and i know some change for june. it was important to have a moment of silence to recognize this was the murder of the in canada on canadian soil. and that that is entirely possible. so i want to start with um, 2nd of all, i do want to say i was very proud of the prime minister and of the

strong position he took after it was the right thing to do. ready and more secure, knowing that she will stand for canadians and against the chillers of canadians. no matter what. no directing. measuring my heart every these 3 list evans exposed canada is only lean towards that one takes. now the kind of us, via, perhaps canada shoes, remember, and that's the billing all the in the, this month in 1985 by through college sunset may be, but as i saw so i may use them with the wash stare, a task something to use. so i was a slash candidate has to be about that. now,

despite in the shop reactions, condemnation when blown out, the showdown seems to us out of the western countries. that's just not getting the problem because sunset is moving to kaz, expand our huge fine to, to hold. and it's the 26th story skyscraper. and the capitalized on a has now been put out or the smoke was below the phone. this dropped to drifting towards some of the cities. landmark buildings. a number of people wherever q rate is from the side, although no casualties have been reported. and the. busy see, so this is blaine's the rapid spread of the fire on the flooding used on this guy square, but of, of course, of the blaze is yeah, i don't know the crossing to hear of now whoever is you has announced it's imposing is fuss sanctions against the russians

liquefied natural gas industry of the move, the measure is part of the blocks 14th package of restrictions of moscow, which acts by say, will end up how many economies in asia more than anyone else. now the new sanctions will band e ports from allowing the russian allergy carriers to unload the cargo onto smaller ships at the metro will prevent rocks and export us from using you ports to transfer our gas to the countries know to be have the move still allows e u space to purchase the fuel. now it comes as the e. u has been ramping up in ports of the critical russian and it just supply the block has become the largest global bio last month, doubling up nearly half of russia's energy exports followed by china and japan. jim radcliffe, the see all the chemical consumers the in it was group explained by the e. u band will only bring more profits to the united states,

a mess with federal capital. so everybody's leaving pets, chemicals in your says, i've never seen in my working life before america or in a great place manufacturing because, you know, they've got cheap answers. i've got no calvin, texas is really important for me to call them at the end of the area we spoke to are to contribute to college shaw, who says that the news by the e u is just adjusted to please washington, edwin. put the den to all the ross and the economy. this is not even a direct band and you import of allen chief, all russia instead is, is talking about re selling through your pin port. so we're talking about only a porter of the, the a $1000000000.00 will be affected. so we're talking up to about 2000000000 euros. that that's the transactions that will be affected right now. so this of verifying the symbolic is

a real politicians are using this opportunity to do more grandstanding on that to express or their dis favor, tour russia price their human. so there's still a lot of domestic opposition. you know, we saw that from germany fall hungry because what we have seen in the last 2 years is incredible. european politicians have sacrificed europe's nomic future by his own russia side. because russia has already started to re oregon is export to where asia, particularly china, is right now. they're cutting russia is already constructing the power of siberia to pipelines that will apply to the natural gas directly the phone, jumbo peninsula in the arctics, directly to china. that will take several years to finish the construction in the meantime. and then how in g terriers, terry, rushing gas words of ation market. now the, your visual sanctioned, are saying,

okay, we, we don't want those allergy carriers to park in new york king of course. but guess what? we as a global warming, they'd be here, the arctic route to asia has become seen more and more days of ice week. so, and it's a lot shorter to read shanghai on the russian architect and going through the going through europe going through the off. so african continental indian ocean and to africa, now, should they stay or should they go? that's the question being asked in the sound of the whole, but the continued presence of us african demand for african as it's commonly known, that's after the opposition and the solve an african country demand that the ministry force is sent packing. now off at columbus, one of the 9 us department of defense joint come back commands with this one specializing in african fast its forces. conduct exercises with soldiers from

a number of nations in the west and north africa. and i've offices in several other states across the continent, including some be a, it's main stated am, is set to be the fight against terrorism and trust national to rights in those countries. however, a lot of transparency over operations are much concrete success in the number of the house space. as already seen, us troops been told to leave a number of countries for mozambie and home affairs benefit dash stephen come funeral, who is now with them before the opposition peach. arctic fund potty says that what happens in this country has a wider on most occasions for the entire continent. the it is also in 2007 which was been passed by they administered is responsible for defense of security. i think they're looking to reduce all the cases. what do they think that it was most desirable?

it was such a for wednesday the we, as i said, you guys are busy you the way with tops to be you and nobody says anybody that's going to take yes. i'm turning promo, that'd be, that'd be full. so there was literally, that'd be not me. because we, i'm not, i agree because what happens is i'm yeah, wonder why is there any sort of way all right now or another, nobody can see that phones, but we, we're taking a box and we spoke again this, this month that we're not going to dump it's out of the office to to go that route . so what's the going, you know, from st. luke's got where they'd be as good as the german because we knew that's making records because one of the and they get to the effects. what i was,

some of the cases was the way we do that. how that started? remember states without the um, the best buy is that our size business we have of each other's. that's why you have twins. that means that can just products we wanted you to be clear on what governance wasn't starting with these uh, it was based from the zip, so we haven't seen any and the same. but i'll let him debate. i just didn't see as we expressed, isn't that big time to do with it and attending to go there and crossing to china now where 47 people had been killed as deadly slots and lawn slide slipped the nation south afar, which is one the extreme weather is set to move across other parts of the country

in the coming days of us for 3rd shows the aftermath with raging torrents of war to loving residential areas. local media reported by the over 170000 people have been affected and the over 600 homes were damaged or destroyed. and more than $10000.00 people had been evacuated from the areas and thousands of roads were closed after being washed off. as consensus, rise of the potential for nuclear war, the put in has the trash. but russia is prepared to hold tools for mutual security with you need to member states if you already did that one. then the featured recently in a meeting with the leadership of the foreign ministry. i outlined a vision for working to create equal and indivisible security in your ration, we are ready for a broad international discussion of these key vital issues. both with colleagues in the shanghai cooperation organization, the commonwealth of independent states,

the origin, economic community, brakes and other international associations, as well as european and native states of course, when they already have a sub in president. this is also highlighted the danger of a world war, if direct fighting breaks out between russia and western powers. and that comes as nathan member states, poland decided that the west must help ukraine defeat russia. or else there's a potential for the conflict spread to europe. the us rhetoric is ramping up as well, saying that the west needs to prepare, not only for a fight against russia, but also iran and china. within the next 5 years, the members of the international contain to abolish nuclear weapons, have to use nature of escalating pensions. and that's as they had a need to insist that the by boosting it's very 3 capabilities block is preventing abroad conflict, the implemented, the biggest reinforcements i'll collect the defense in generations. which for the

1st time in naples history, calling about the the troops, nissan, parts of the lions with hire and the sort of forces. now we have 502 troops on the higher redness and uh, with significantly more defense spending, investing in advanced aircraft as 30 fives ships bought some things a lot of uh so in high end it could be this so, so we can do all of this not to fight the war but to prevent the war on the, on to remove in the room for me. so i'm just standing or miscalculation most go about hour and this to protect every night dialogue now and my colleague more rod have mommy discussed this. so i thought you'd be a reservation with a panel of guests, of the swedish institute recently um the colors these things um, published a report and it showed that virtually all of the main nuclear power is in the world

of spending more on nuclear arms and modernizing their existing fleets, which is particularly worrying, and it is something like 90 percent of the look around thrown by russia and america . um, but there is a, we don't have a safety. we don't have a sort of a break in your like in your fuse box, a new house, you know, where the escalation continues and continues and the west is losing a new cranes. and the question about the, i'm, when we get to a point where we start talking about nuclear interaction, we don't have that political throwback switch which says stop, you know, to politicians on a fortune. that's why we go into this incredibly dangerous situation that we have now where the possibility of a nuclear war is now a reality. who would have thought we couldn't imagine that just talking to a few months ago. but we're at that point. now. i said that uh, even when the pharmacy is in, in, in, in action we really don't know what to think of it because.

1 because the wife is showing that it can constantly break the deals. so even if, if and something is signed, one is the worst of it. and that is why i think that the lack of trust is now the biggest problem that local diplomacy has because it seems that the west and the rest are speaking into completely different languages we talked earlier about. so the, so come international piece of research institute now they but let the, they made a very day, they said that we were in dangerous times. i mean, this is quite an important message, clement listened into that. and then we'll, i'll come back to you. while the global total of nuclear warheads continues to full is coldwell ero athens, a gradually dismantled progressively, we can take just a year on year increases in the number of operational needs. they will head. we're now in one of the most dangerous periods in human history. they'll say the what uh

the answer to this i but some $12000.00 plus, uh, nuclear war has okay, in total, $9500.00 or the, the axes and ready to go. but what do you make because i sent that statement that they made and why now the statement is extremely important, but i think there's, there's one thing lacking here. it is the advantage that russia and also china, iran and north korea have over the west at this moment. and that is that they are in possession of hypersonic rockets of hype. it's of hypersonic weapons. the west still did not develop. they are the ones who have the upper hand of the same time. it is not that have of course strengthening a with a new curious installation. but the west, you know, with uh, sending an hour officially, uh, data troops, uh to your grain, which makes this more in your brain. uh, not a proxy war or russia and a natal,

but they direct conflict. so they're the ones that are escalating. and at the same time, uh, at the same time, they like, uh, the capabilities to defend themselves in a situation on the actual escalation. what do you have now? is obviously the end of the old world, older america no longer has the gym. and david at once had but, but you know, you have now and emotions of an eastern power block that pushes a number of wisdom leads only in one direction, which is to spend more on the defense. and the goal spending on defense is somewhat disingenuous because we know very well for most of those western european countries . that means also the sweet enough to spend a moment defense is to a rotary civil liberties the same time. because a big part of the whole nuclear sharon is that you create a state of fear and in that state of fear, you look, you chip away a civil liberties and that's what's going on. and that's little for me now,

my colleagues solstio taylor will be with you at the top of the hour. most are reason updates by down the the

.
