12:46 pm
behind the terrorists who prepared this atrocity, this attack on russia, on our people. "the daesh takfirit terror group claimed responsibility, but moscow has dismissed the claim asserting that investigation is still underway to ascertain the main culprits. russia security service says the moscow attackers had contacts in ukraine supporting them. during interrogation, detained terrorist said he was promised 5,000 troubles to carry out the terrorist attack. he claimed he watched a certain preacher on telegram and allegedly his assistant contacted the man. the perpetrator. are ignorant illiterate people who will commit any crime for money. the question is different: where is the planning center? not a single international organization can act in the international arena, especially in a state like russia where there are strong power structures performers can be found anywhere through the agents. we went through this experience in chechnia, this once again convinces us that
12:47 pm
international terrorist structures are the work of the cia and western intelligence services. the attack which came amit ukraine's war with russia was the deadlest in the country since the bisland school siege in 2004. after friday's attack putin held discussion with his belarussian counterpart aleksander lukashenko. both leaders confirmed their readiness to walk together in the fight against terrorism. in his address, president putin said moscow attackers were preparing to flee towards ukraine where a window had been prepared for them with the help of ukraine. now it remains to be seen how russia is going to react. on the 25th anniversary of the nato bombing of serbia, people have gathered in the austrian capital to commemorate the victims of the aggression
12:48 pm
by the military alliance against the balkan nation. protesters in vienna chanted slogans. against the continued nato expansion and medaling in eastern europe. they also expressed their anger at the militarization the eu as well as the nato support for israeli genocidal war on gaza. protesters held banners reading stop nato aggression and death to imperialism and freedom for the people. in march 1999, the western military alliance launched a 78-day aerial campaign against the federal republic of. yugoslavia, which then included serbia and montenegro. the nato aggression took place without a un mandate and in violation of international law. thousands of civilians were killed or injured as a result of the undeclared, as a result of the undeclared war. our correspondent in vienna has talked to some of
12:49 pm
the protesters. are here to commemorate 25 years of nato aggression against yugoslavia. this nato aggression was the start of the new world order and meant in consequence also the aggression on russia. we are here because of 25 years of the nato invasion of yugoslavia. the event is exemplary of the new nature of imperialism. since the early 1990s at the latest. has become clear that us imperialism is reaching for global dominance, nato is it means to achieve this and the eu is its accomplice, this all runs through from the breakup of yugoslavia to the eastward expansion of nato to the encirclement of russia to the current events in ukraine, imperialism as a war system is not capable of peace, the focus is always on saying you
12:50 pm
cannot keep. about something wrong and forget it, we do not forget, we can forgive anyone who acknowledges their guilt, however, for those who are silent and think they are right to violate the un charter, we do not need these people, we cannot forget or forgive as long as no one is held responsible for their crimes and apologizes. nato has declared war against serbia and the serbian people, serbia has never received any reparation. or compensation that nato inflicted on them, 40,00 bombs were dropped on serbia alone, 4,0 innocent people died, we condem this war, however, today it is crucial to condemn nato and us wars, they are slowly leading us into world war ii. austria must stand up and ensure that the usa, nato and the eu leave serbia alone. as we approach the 25th
12:51 pm
anniversary of the nato bombing of serbia, we must state clearly that nato as a military alliance must be dismantled. they will trigger wars around the world and massively increase arms spending. the answer can only be that this military alliance is also fought internationally. it is the reason for many military conflicts, russia and ukraine, the war against palestine and 25 years ago the war against yugoslavia. now uh, let's go to a press conference where antonio guteres and the jordanian foreign minister are giving address. let's take a listen, saving human life and every dollar taken away from andrew carries the risk of having a child suffer and die from. the lack of food and medicine, so we stand together and supporting the agency and in urging all our partners to continue to provide onrova with the support that it so deserves so that it can again do the basic
12:52 pm
job of just simply saving lives. also we've been working together on many other facets of cooperation, particularly in relation to the syrian refugees and while we are grateful for the support, the un and the international community has been given to help us in our effort to provide syrian refugees. with a dignified lives and meet their needs and make sure that they're not victimized again, they've been victims of conflict, we cannot victimize them by having them ignored by the international community, but i have to say that we must ring the alarm and ring it loud about the dwindling support that's coming to refugees, many un agencies are cutting down their services in jordan, simply because not enough it is coming, that means the burden will shift to us and we simply cannot carry that burden alone, so again we urge that... that our partners continue to shoulder the responsibility towards syrian refugees who do deserve life of dignity and fulfillment until conditions are conducive for them to
12:53 pm
voluntarily go back to their country, which is the only realistic answer to their flight, so on all those issues sir, we're going to continue to work as partners, we have immediate priorities right now in which we are aligned in the aggression, allow sufficient humanitarian supplies in and obviously prevent what would be another massacre in rafah, the whole world is saying going into rafah will lead to humanitarian massacker, the israeli government is not listening, they are still affirming that they will go into rafah, and i would just conclude by saying that we cannot allow a group of radicals, racist, extremist ministers to doom the future, of of the region to more conflict and more war and more immediately we cannot allow them to continue to kill with impunity. thank you sir. i welcome you in jordan and
12:54 pm
look forward to further engagement. as salam alaikum, dear foreign minister safade, dear friend, thank you for your warm welcome, and it's good to be back in jordan, especially at such a critical time for the region and for the world. when i i see jordan, i see solidarity in action, and i see in the words and deeds of his majesty king abdullah, a global champion for peace, and i see it in the spirit of the people of jordan, and your enormous compassion towards those fleeing pevo. jordan is home to the largest number of palestine refugees. i visited the camp earlier today and comment jordan. for your pivotal advocacy for the vital work of unrua. you have also opened your hearts and doors to many others, including refugees from syria,
12:55 pm
and i urge the international community to support jordan as it supports millions of people in need. it is very worrying the reduction of funding in relation to refugee programs in jordan and in other parts of the world. spirit of solidarity is precisely what brings me here once again. i am on my annual solidarity mission during the holy months of ramadan where i visit and fast with muslim communities in distress. ramadan is meant to be a period of celebration, but not this year. hearts are heavy in the region and indeed around the world from the unprecedented and going devastation in gaza as well as rising violence in the occupied west bank. i commend jordan for your support
12:56 pm
for deescalation in. including particularly your very important role in east jerusalem, and i salute jordan for your relentless effort to get humanitarian assistance into gaza, including through the personal efforts and wisdom of his majesty. for my part, i will keep pushing for the removal of all obstacles to life saving gates, for more access and for more entry points, but we must face... facts: there will be no sustainable humanitarian solution with an ongoing war as bloody as these. let me repeat, nothing justifies the aborrent october 7 attacks and oster taken by hamas and nothing justifies the collective punishment of the palestinian people. the effective delivery of humanitarian aid requires the... immediate
12:57 pm
delivery of humanitarian cease fire. the need is urgent. i was at the rough of border crossing this weekend, and i met with injured palestinian civilians ander directly from our frontline humanitarian old colleagues. they are veterans of some of the worst humanitarian crisis in recent decades. they have seen it all, and yet without exception, they told me they had never seen... anything as horrible as what is happening in gaza today, the scale and speed of the deaths and destruction are on an entirely different level, and now starvation is bearing down on palestinians in gaza. there is a growing consciousness around the world that all of these must stop, the fighting must end now, the hostages must be released now, and we
12:58 pm
must not lose sight of the big picture, a lasting end to the israeli-palestinian conflict can only come through a tooth state solution. israelis must see their legitimate needs for security materialized, and palestinians must see their legitimate aspirations for a fully independent, viable and sovereign state realized in line with united nations resolutions, international law, those standing in the way of two-state solution have an obligation to state clearly what is the alternative they want. how would
12:59 pm
the future look with such a large number of palestinians inside without any real sense of freedom, of rights and of dignity? this would be unconceivable. the two-state solution is the only way to address the legitimate aspirations of both israelis and palestinians. i know it is easy to be cynical in today's world, but that's a luxury we can. afford, cynicism is a form of surrender to the prevailing assumptions of the moment, it is a refuge for those too weak, too narrow, too timid to imagine better future, when things are difficult, we must try even harder, and i will keep pushing for peace inspired by your example, and once again, dear foreign minister, dear friends, "thank
1:00 pm
you and thank the government and people of jordan for leading the way to solidarity and peace. take some questions, well that was a press conference you just uh watched with antonio guteres, the un secretary general and the jordanian foreign minister, obviously it was all about the situation in gaza, the jordanian. foreign minister did insist that israel cannot continue the atrocities, committing these atrocities with with impunity and the they have to do something, take some practical measures, and antonio guteres echoed those calls on calling for immediate cease fire. we'll be bringing you more details on that press conference in our news bulletin in half an hour. never strikes
