[000:00:00;00] ah ah, the he was secretary of state posts about promoting freedom of speech in america. despite criticism for banning opposing narratives into his prime minister continues these 2 of europe, amid ongoing wisdom pressure new delhi to drop his neutrality over the warn ukraine and joined the crippling sanctions against russia. and cracks appear and you appear in society of a military support for kids as hundreds of calgarians protest against weapons supplies to ukraine is the only thing we want to ban approved a bulgarian territory be used for hitting either of both countries of the war. one

of the governments favorite phrases as they cannot stay inactive against the injustice. but nowadays they are ready to introduce the bulgarian people to a war with an unwelcome, taught international on your host policy clear. and i'll be with you for the next 30 minutes. thanks for joining us. in the main events of the war in ukraine in the city of mario poll, fighting has intensified at the besieged as of still still works. it follow 2 days of sci fi at the factory when hundreds of civilians were evacuated. meanwhile, in battle guns could public russian forces say they are almost in full control at the city of rebellion in the areas witness fighting. since the very start of russia's offensive and civil hotspots still remain, the u. s. secretary of state anti blinkin has praised america as a haven for freedom of speech. but that's despite much criticism,

state side of the pressure applied in the media of abuse, opposing official, and mainstream narratives. not to say has the more in the right to freedom of expression. putting a free brush all over the world. the critics have slammed the idea of free press in the united states with the world price freedom index, which assesses the state of journalism in 180 countries. ranking america in 42nd place it side. for example, the case of the wiki leaks found a julian assange. he's 12 in the us for publishing classified falls and faces up to 175 years in jail. the u, as justice department continues pursuit of the extradition of weekly found a julian, a sons from the u. k to the u. s. set the dangerous legal precedent. the move to prosecute him under the u. s. espionage act on demise. press freedom globally. the extraterritorial application of the u. s. espionage act could also throws an any

journalist anywhere for publishing classified us information. sure, those words you just heard from us, secretary of state antony blank and are simply met with laughter by anyone who's observed the policies of the united states. over the past few months. they've been doing everything they can to shut down and silence media that for it's forward any perspective critical of nato perspective when it comes to the situation in ukraine . well, the ide states wouldn't be itself without bashing russia and accusing russia being a pure dictatorship where all freedom of speech is killed. however, as anthony blanc and spoke, he went on to essentially argue, now it's also important to note that an opposition network, an outlet that is critical of the russian government was invited to that press conference. i. however, archie and other networks that are more sympathetic that they were not allowed to participate yet. anthony blanking continues to maintain that it's the united states,

that is the champion of freedom of the press. now he also turned on beijing and started accusing china of being totalitarian of threatening taiwan, et cetera. this is anthony blank and attacking china, in addition to his hostility to russia. taiwan is literally on the front lines of the p. r c's hybrid warfare, including this information including cyber attacks. and these are designed to basically distort information for democratic processes. so we partner with stories on this. so i to support independent type a journal. us officials rely heavily on the documents published by reporting that borders. but reported without borders is pretty well known to be a us back n g o promoting u. s. foreign policy interests promoting and reporting on things from one

perspective. demonizing countries that the united states is also critical out and kind of glossing over the problems in countries that are more aligned with the united states. so that's what anthony blanking was relying on in order to make his remarks. to this, daniel is our belief, the us government has politicized press and uses that for its own interests. us has a double standard that's just glaring. the u. s. a shut down r t america. it essentially has threatened with fines, or anybody who writes for other russian websites. it has a very important journalist name julian assad, languishing in a, in a british prison awaiting extradition to the u. s. presses politicize. the press has been as being used by the american government to advantage on interest. it's just completely appalling, completely corrupt and, and completely anti intellectual as well. americans need both sides of the argument . they need the russian point of view. they need the american point of view and

they need critical opinion in between, in order to judge what's going on in the world, and especially in the ukraine and freedom of the press is not covering up the political nature of the ass off battalion in mary a pool because we know they're neo nazis. no matter how much antony blinkin tries to to deny it. it comes as the waste has blocked, our sister channel, our t dare and arty font from broadcasting. we spoke exclusively to the bill of russian foreign minister about freedom of speech as demonstrated in the waste godson were burglars, that's the rule. how could we expect that the strong hold of democracy, the boss sin of human rights and the preachers of virtue will do this? many, including us thought the west at his to such idols. we believed that everyone should look towards the west. the recent events in belarus and what happened to russia clearly show to me that all this was

a false shell behind which the west had its true face. the purpose of the shell is to ensure its dominance. it's not the right time to talk about freedom of speech or rule of law to day when all laws have been violated when we're trying to challenge sanction laws in european court's decisions are made instantly to change the rules . and all this does not leave us any chance for a positive outcome up. we see the tenant attempt to strangle our countries, the west, and the european union take that most radical measures violating all their european values, violating all laws and moral principles. of course, this is a better experience for us, but we must take this into account in the future. meanwhile, they biden administration has announced the formation of a so called ministry of truth to fight the spread of disinformation on the internet . but critics came, it's a way to control the narrative and an effective means to silence to fend. you can tell from more into that story at 80 dot come

the indian prime minister. no engine moody is on a diplomatic tour of europe. it's his 3rd and final day is a way to visited germany and denmark and is due next in france. it's his 1st visit to the wife since the start of the conflict in ukraine, coming against a backdrop of diplomatic in fighting and pressure on you daily to join the sanctions regime against russia. with all the details. here's our t's r, t to call thing dr. minister, not in the mo, the on his 2nd day of the tour in europe met danish prime minister met frederickson. and in their bilateral talks, they talked about several issues, including by nature, trade on technology, innovation in r g, especially if you knew, i believe, no g as well as ukraine. in fact, prime minister, not in the movie called for peace in ukraine,

and an end to war. you couldn't hear some good, good at the start of the wall. we immediately called for a cease fire and reiterated that dialogue is the only way to find a solution that we know when it's at the end of this wall. everyone will suffer losses. that's why we want peace. energy prices skyrocketing food shortages, the spreading that's affecting every family in the world from yesterday. braden's turn it into more, the met german chancellor or lock shows. and in there by electric agreement, they, in fact agreed to set up a green hydrogen dos force. apart from that, germany yesterday had demonstrations for and against india in the context of ukraine. however, i, mr. moody to these tours has refused to criticize or condemn russia. in fact, even today, in his meeting with the danish prime minister,

there was no mention of russia whatsoever. the law stopped our friends to movie in this visit, we'll be in fattest, where he will meet present emanuel macro on after his recent re election. in fact, to the store that has been, have been attempts by the european lead us to pressurized cremeans to moby to condemn russia. but that ramps are more has so far, not, not only, not mentioned russia, buddy has continued to bite the russian crude oil discount prices. policy expert on indian affairs, ganesh. go, but russia has always been an important strategic partner for new daily. and western politicians won't change that. i don't think so in getting prime minister relating to condemning if you will,

that russia has been in the us strong ally that india or not in the past, a russia that has come forward and supported india. so today, if you look at kind of assumed that in the movie under, when mr. john wooten is one of the school specialty. and it seemed our when it came to court vaccination when it came to cover this thought, gosh, looking forward, india has strategic dia on a no, gee, for telecom. and when it comes to the oil market, a stronger lines that russia, nbc, that one is not going to get broken down a bunch on that. d 7 group is also amendment of bricks. red russia is a strategic partner, you know, all the time. i don't getting peace because india is one country which is suffering the maximum because of this war. if you look at to be the end, it will all prices in india, those massey and that stuff like that got that because 90 percent of that y comes

from russia. if you look at point, i don't, particularly in india, our ecosystem is often the most. so in there wants peace between russia and ukraine and debate. i missed as i get the best to sling. i don't know, i don't know any one time they're talking about these. and the 2nd time we are sending weapons, how can you have peace negotiations? why you're sending weapons to ukraine bank. so i think indian by mr. understand that far and it didn't prime minister is that who ensure that there may be more partners in europe who can support you. great. not to wage war, but get into the negotiation with russia. meanwhile, on the ground in ukraine fighting has intensified at the perceived as self stone. still works in the city of my will pull explosions with her throughout the day. on

tuesday. the one motion official says around a 150 civilians are still sheltering in the factories basements over the weekend. to see the fire was announced in the area for several days, allowing more than a 100 civilians to be evacuated to safety. during that time, over the russian broken evacuation of civilian from the results still factory marie opal or symbols the u. n. and the red cross. during an online press conference, the red cross representative to ukraine confirmed to r t. the organization was aware of russia's previous, numerous attempts to open humanitarian color doors, and the obstacles faced in completing the evacuations. i know that there were many attempts on both sides to open inquiry doors and we were always ready to, to facilitate and to do in those corridors. we managed to go one, almost somebody, but i think it was

a month ago. we need constantly to ensure that everybody on the ground was aware of that agreement, that the, that was, that was they can had the capital level. in other words, it's transforming it, secrete guarantees for us, for the civilians into practical working modalities. they cannot be an agreement middle of the night for an operation that is taking place next day in the morning. and then that's the situation. i don't know whether the better is, but after several days you can imagine with a fire fire the secrete, the conditions or the, the government keys for the sake of easy conditions were not met anymore. and that's why we were told that the operation was to, you know, to, to be put to an end. and that's why we came back. and again,

if tomorrow is such conditions are met, we are ready to go. since the end of april, russian forces say they are almost in full control of the city of probation, it in the guns were public. the area has witness fighting since the very start of rushes, offensive, and civil hotspots still remain ortiz maria phenomena st. us this report from the field as to weeks. so fears fighting the town of rubbish. now he's now completely under the control of russian forces, together with units from the people's republic of la guns and supported by chechen fighters. they are now focused on the local zed. yeah. gunpowder factory. located in the industrial zone on the outskirts of the city. it is heavily fortified, ukraine's military, together with a nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries occupying it. they could tough a position, shows them at the moment, was the task is to capture and completely liberate the zaria plan from the enemy.

then we will wait for further instructions. what would you like to know what the goal is? difficult, but not impossible. the fighter se with optimism we go with them on their nightly patrol. the why the aim of the operation is to secure a further progress towards elicit chance and 70 than he asked the last 2 strongholds of the ukrainian forces and the republic. the army continues their relentless advance had night. fighter is move without flies, and we use infrared camrys so that we are not located and targeted by ukrainian drones, silent fast, and deadly weapons. russian force is also used drones, political with the help of a quad copter, we can figure out the enemy's positions and carry out surgical strikes. using the quad comforter offensively helps to find out the enemy's positions in. it's a big help over the last hours the joint forces have managed to take control of the 1st line of defense around visit our planned old counter attacks were repelled.

venom local at the moment or about 100 people have been eliminated in about 10 units of heavy equipment have been destroyed. there is resistance, we have a task and we are carrying it out all. there are quite a lot of foreign made weapons and we have clashes with these on a daily basis. we are confiscating them afterwards will follow cotton supplies to ukrainian forces on the dunbar for is now a priority control over the entire industrial zone. will not only pay the way towards least a chance can say that of enhanced, but also help gain control over the entire territory of their republic. or if notional, how t from to be as nan the cia once russians to contact them to the doc. net, a network which is often used for legal and criminal activities. this my agency went as far as publishing and instruction in russian on its social media channels on how to which then there are concerned russians who are desperately trying to

reach cia. it's not safe to directly engage americans physically or virtually in russia for those people that want to engage with securely. this is the way to do it . first, i think that they expect to perhaps encourage someone in the russian government with access to sensitive information or classified information perhaps in the. busy russian intelligence services, or the russian ministry of defense, or ministry of foreign affairs, to maybe reach out to them with sensitive information. this is a way for them to develop a spy to develop a source that can report back to them. but then on the other hand, i think that they also expect to worry the russian government a little bit. maybe you throw this out there. you throw this information out there and you hope that the russians then clamped down on their own people that they become

a suspicious of their employees. and it makes working on a day to day basis a little more difficult. the ca created a darknet fight in 2019 that has the same features as its regular homepage. however, its only accessible to the poor internet browser, which has encryption features not available on most regular browsers. journalist and former c i am unless john korea, who thinks this move by the c i a, is it another way for the us to interfere in the russia ukraine conflict? i think what this was meant to do was to disrupt the russian government to make the russians think that they have spies among them. that there are spies in the russian government working for american intelligence. even if there aren't any. this at least allows the cia to disrupt, to upset the russians to make their job a little bit harder. i think the american government has made it clear in a 100 different ways that they,

that they want to interfere and the rushing ukrainian conflict. it's not just trying to recruit spies to steal secrets, it's providing weaponry. it's providing ammunition, it's providing international political support. it's kind of cutting off russian access to international banking. it's cutting off russian energy supplies. so there are a 100 different ways in which the united states is, is working against russia in place and sadly, gas prices are up the cost of livings us. in fact, the only thing that isn't going up in the us is joe biden approval rating down. another 9 percent in recent polls. it's even led to one tv host calling for his impeachment, claiming that the destiny of the nation is at stake. but as by the really, the one calling the shots on america's future will ortiz rachel blevins takes a closer look. and yes, my name is approval ratings. remain your all time low with the majority of americans. again,

expressing concerns over the way his administration has handled everything from soaring inflation to an increasing crime across the country. in fact, even some speakers at the white house correspondents dinner had to know that the approval of the american people may be the only thing that isn't increasing for the buying and ministration ever since you've come and office things are really looking up, you know, gases up rent is up, food is up everything. no, it really has been a tough 1st year for you, mister president. and that's not even mentioning the increasing tinges between the u. s. and russia as fighting calls on congress to approve an additional $33000000000.00 and funding for ukraine, while the president analysis policies that could impact the world for decades to come, he continues to struggle giving basic speeches. as another recent poll shows, the majority of americans are concerned about his age and the doubt whether he is mentally fit for office. we're gonna accommodate really, caesar yards,

luxury homes and other you'll be gotten gauge to scrub talk. yeah. talk christian club. the guys who are the club talkers. so if bitin isn't the one making the decisions for his own administration then who is? well, it certainly does not appear to be vice president comma harris, who has managed, haven't even lower approval rating than 5 in himself. she has seen it out of the spotlight so much that when the white house and now she tested positive for coping . 19 last week they said the vice president had not been anywhere near bite it. today, vice president harris tested positive for coven 19 on rapid and p. c. r. test. she has exhibited no symptoms, will isolate and continue to work from the vice president's residence. she has not been a close contact to the president, our 1st lady due to their respective recent track schedule. what about house speaker nancy pelosi?

she was behind harris in the line of presidential succession, but she was the one to pay a visit to key and last week and becoming the highest ranking u. s. official from this administration to meet with president can ukraine during the talk? hello c things. so and ski for his work and promise that his country would have unwavering support from the us with the weekend in ukraine can just days after a similar visit from secretary of state. and to me blinking and defense secretary lloyd austin making by minim harris the only top u. s. officials who haven't made the trip to yet. however, the rhetoric from the administration as a whole appears to be on the same page or to policy is rally allies and partners around the world. to join us in supporting ukraine militarily,

economically and with humanitarian assistance to impose massive cost on the kremlin . and when it comes to influence just how much of it is coming from retired government officials. as former congressman tools, he gathered noted the vine administration announced plans for the department of homeland security to create its own dis, information board. just days after former president obama said the government needs to get more involved encountering dis, information online, talking to people at these companies. i believe they are some fear and trying to limit contacted gauges in a speech encourages violence or poses a threat to public safety. so if it isn't the president or even the vice president who is calling the shots, the question then becomes, who is and what does that entail for both the u. s. and it's standing on the world stage by didn't never really got the honeymoon that many presidents again in their 1st 100 days. i think it because of bad policy, right? from the door trying to and do a lot of things to trump did,

which were actually working you know, and to the failures are shockingly obvious. you know, americans are having a hard time putting food on their table. americans are being faced with a difficult decision of whether or not to pay a utility bill or buy food. this is the reality, unfortunately, for americans right now for joe biden. has an elitist government official that spent the last 50 plus years in washington d. c. that is, the last thing that he should be doing right now is laughing at the situation that he's putting his constituents through, you know, because he works for americans. whether they're republicans, democrats, independents, libertarians or socialists. they are all americans moving now to bulgaria, way hundreds of people have gathered in front of the parliament, is the fear on tuesday, protesting against plans to send military help to ukraine. people from 70 bulgarian cities organize a marketplace and utility via social networks. most of the participants carried

state flags and humans. posters, court for both areas compete with quality. in the ukranian crisis, the demonstrations began off to the countries parliament announced from wednesday that a vote would be held on sending military supplies to ukraine. those against the news are calling formula, troy, on dispatching, either troops or weapons, and on setting up military bases in the country. no one moment, one of the governments favorite phrases as they cannot stay inactive against the injustice. but nowadays they are ready to introduce the bulgarian people to a war bog. yes or no asi so we want to ban approved of bulgarian territory be used for hitting either of both countries of the war. the neutrality in this madness is the most important thing. in either a sulky never saw sage. well, that was the blank criticism directed at all of shots from ukraine's ambassador to germany, who was angered at the chancellor's refusal to visit kids back up to that being the

recent snubbing by ukrainian authorities of planned visit by the german president last month. acting like an offended liver, worst doesn't sound very statesmanlike. were talking about the most brutal war of extermination since the nazi attack on ukraine. this is not child's play. the ambassador's comments came shortly after chancellor sholtes told the media that cubes, refusal to host the german president, frank walter stein maya stood in the way of his own visit. ukraine had earlier criticized mister stein, maya for his relations of moscow. one was to slam in germany for providing they say insufficient military support despite pearl and pledging to provide more lethal aid back in late april german auto and blogger thomas were per says, this is not the 1st time that the ukrainian ambassador has lashed out at germany. and suffered no consequences. i would quote scandal from this, from this ambassador, he asked, i have a work as a roster to go on strike,

not to work with russia ships. he's really mixing in and german policies. and i think this is nothing in embers or from any country could do or should do. this is not his job. imagine a chinese ambassador would do something like this in the u. s. a. on france, or even a germany. this would be a scandal. but with mister mail, it seems he can do whatever he wants, and they seem to ignore it. and germany is always a country in europe with which was in favor of happy ukraine financially economy. but let's don't forget the ukraine receive from the e you more than 15000000000 euro, which are some are gone with the wind and even the german government gave them money. so he is really biting the head is feeding them, but the germans allow that. no, no reaction and that's why i say we have such quotes of this ambassador for quite for several weeks already and no rich, i don't know if i can go until there will be erection by the way. there is

a on change. org. people are really collecting signatures to get rid of this guy. i think there's only 550000 signatures in germany already, but the policy doesn't care and the media also i'll sister channel artie. arabic has knocking it's 15th anniversary. the channel has started broadcasting on the 4th of may in 2007, having news from an asian regions, and could to gain an international audience. arabic journalists have made hundreds of reports from hotspots around the world and interviewed many permanent figures. an international award for war correspondence named the hallett, our table was established in memory of the artie arabic laportia, who was killed one on assignment in syria in 2017. so today arte arabic ranks 1st in terms of to arabic, new site, head of al jazeera,

i would be at see an an hour baker and sky news away via water. well, that brings us to the end of the bulletin for this hour. we'll be back with more news and headlines in about 30 minutes for you then for ah mm
