i never changed their minds about the video. they think i was wrong. and that's it . the farmer is across here at the last out against strict environmental regulations that are stifling their businesses and warn the government. they are determined to go all the way to get concessions. we don't want to back down until we've made real progress because we can't take it anymore on our farms. to bill we're still very much alive and that we're not going to give up. in any case, it's our life, it's our future. it's our children's future. despite the mounting street demonstrations, the block approves of 50000000000 euro aid package to crane up are hungry backs down from threats to veto the move the un urges as well to abide by las vegas. i see a decision to prevent a genocide in gaza and allow the delivery of humanitarian aid as the number of

lives lost. and the crisis stricken enclave now surpasses 27000 and as the brakes form wraps up in moscow, the russian deputy foreign minister gives an exclusive interview to our t, covering issues ranging from cooperation in the block to us middle eastern, a policy failure. it was not the comprehensive approach, it was in attempts to economic lead. by the way you deal with work the . i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you are watching r t international. thousands of farmers across europe are protesting against underpayment, high taxes and stifling green agenda regulations with around 1300 tractors, blocking major roads in brussels as european leaders met for the use summit.

the, the increasing domestic was come as a block approved in additional 50000000000 euro aid package for ukraine with officials saying, supporting key of was the priority. the agreement, the european council delivered on our priorities supporting ukraine a good day for europe. we have a deal is us taking leadership and responsibility and support for ukraine?

we know what is at stake. well, these european leaders are hold up in brussels, but may as well be on a whole separate plan and given how disconnected they are, they're talking about how it's a quote good day for europe, because they've unanimously voted to below more european taxpayer cash on a non european country ukraine have even bother to look out the window. so they think that all the cheering that's going on know there is for their ukrainian vote . now those aren't people throwing things are just people giving high fives to cleaners. so the ponder lines, you castle, actually, they're farmers, the likes of what you've taken to the streets with their tractors in about a 3rd of the countries at this point. and counting. because they're completely, i rate a being squeezed on everything from climate change regulation concocted by ursa was battalion of dest, jockeys in brussels, to energy costs, to be spied on by

e used by satellites 3 times a day. and being confronted with a discrepancies even when, well things like whether or can change things from one hour to the next or from one day the next. but the doesn't seem to realize that an icing on the cake, the losing revenues and market share at home to creating and products that don't even meet you quality regulations and are still being dumped into europe instead of going to feed the poor and those in developing countries like the wind about and promised the we don't want to back down until we've made real progress because we can't take it anymore on our farms. today we've got standards falling on us from every direction we work with living things were farmers, were breeders, along with our colleagues, we can't afford to have rules that prevent us from responding to the vagaries of the weather to the needs of our crop rotation. because we've got europe and regulations because we've got a band coming down on us. and when did they tell me? oh,

we're determined. i don't think they're convinced we're going to last. and that's why we're showing them that we're still very much alive and that we're not going to give up. in any case, it's our life, it's our future. it's our children's future. so if you think finding motivation in the world is not to give up, you've done the hardest part. now we're here are tractors are here. now those same drafters, some of them have made it to brussels, reported $1300.00 of them. and the belgian prime minister saying that, well, those people should be heard they should be listened to. and that's exactly what the french prime ministers also saying every few days. now, making a series of announcements just on thursday, once again, ultimately trying to find the magic words. anything that would potentially get those tractors off the highways here in france. you don't want to, we want to be suffering this solver into grow solver into harvest solver and to feed ourselves. so this is the 1st commitment i am making this morning. we will

enshrine the objective of sovereignty and low this and we will do it with foam is on the basis of clear indicators defined with the sun. during this we will in try and agriculture in the rural code as a fundamental national interest. true up to now there's been nothing concrete, no real strong propositions that will make a serious debt and all of the challenges that the farmers are facing. and the farmers only ever really deal in concrete and pragmatism. they don't tend to say much, you don't hear from them very often. they are often entered public debate. but when they do, it is clear and loudon to quote one farmer this week when i was out on the 8th, 13 highway here in paris at that blockade. he said, you know, i'm like some politicians. our feet may be in the dirt, but the dirt is clean. and well, those farmers are looking for concrete propositions and it, and things that move the needle from their countries and also from the you who they

blame for the majority of the regulations that they face and the challenges. and one of the big complaints that farmers have is that they're being strangled by you regulations that brussels insist on maintaining, in order to protect. they say everything from the climate to european citizens health. and then at the same time, they let all of this sub par, trash in from ukraine to fill up people's place. so farmers here in france and for the rest of the you want to know which is it is a cool now to just do whatever with food production like you crane does, or is it really that important to maintain standards? in which case, why should you try and get a free pass at the possible expense of people's wellbeing and also of the farmers likelihood? where's the consistency in any of this is what the farmers want to know. having spoken with them this week, and yet the message they're getting now is that ukraine gets the cache and the

attention while they're standing in the streets, yelling at the building like a child whose parents are always telling and they're broke. well, in the same time buying stuff for the neighbors while brots and you're in apartment, mr. victor or bon threatened to room the unit, the party at b. e. you meeting on thursday with a veto on the 50000000000 of new that the ukrainian or task for ukraine. we're got out in the financial times earlier this week of a working document at the you suggesting that his arm couldn't be twisted with economic portion. ultimately he did cave, but with a cab yet, according to prime minister or ben b. u commission should represent the interest of european farmers against those of ukraine. not the other way around. we need to find a new leaders who truly represent the interest of the people. he said, referring to this year's european parliament selections that are bon onside. the

you did have to agree to debate the assistance every year because they can't do that right there. it's really all they ever do and also to review it every 2 years, whether or not that's going to amount to anything or even the rail. the plan that they've just pushed through is, remains to be seen. it's not clear of the farmers asking the you where's the beef will appreciate the gesture either underscoring his appeals to quote, stand up for the voice of the people hungry is prime minister met with protesting farmers after the leaders summit in brussels like to our bon reported they pledged his support and told them of the blocks. officials do not represent it. citizens, while french president emanuel micron stated the us trying to create legal mechanisms to prevent the destabilization of european markets. unfair competition for farmers use everyone soup than we have thus obtained. stricter rules to be put

in place to avoid the very clear abuses and the stabilisation that we have seen in recent months since we have obtained that for serials. so there was a reinforced safeguard mechanism in the event of market disruption, which would allow intervention measures if serials coming from ukraine to european markets, the stabilize our prices too much, or create competition. that would be unfair. different mechanisms can be used to intervene in prices or others. things that we spoke was good, our back and alternative for germany, party member and the european parliament. he told us, microns statement will not change the use attitude toward ukraine and that you authorities are not ready to step back from their decision to use the tariff barriers for ukraine. the president, my call is just making sort of a friend the noises to his own fathers, but i can't really see that you policies will be scaled back in this regard to the european union. the interests of ukraine,

as conceived by the european union, seemed following cold, and that'd be digital but interest sense economics, these the citizens, it's not just baba's, but 80 or 90 percent of the european population. i'll say the big standards declined as a result of pad test stick, and that's uh you call this b e u is permitted to, in fact, to see projects a saving the planet from climate change mass, migration of unqualified millions of unqualified non european into europe. and it's a cultural policy, it's sort of the of the stake, a mission. they seem to have to transform the world. it is fixed aid for what the citizens want. so this democracy and the role, again, it's

a being thrown out to the window in the interest of ideological all the sessions. back to the 50000000000 euro aid package, the you agreed to provide ukraine. the funds will be distributed over 4 years with the 8, requiring an annual review by you members. i discussed the new agreement with ortiz, donald a quarter in. budapest is finally agreed to this new e. u, a to packets to crane. after months, victor, or been essentially threatening to torpedo the deal after all, decisions like these needs to be made with unanimous consent of all 27 european union member states. and all of those member states are now in agreement that to execute the terms of this deal, one of brussels, we're going to have to be ready to seize the income from frozen russian assets. in financing ukraine, potential revenues could be generated under the relevant union legal act concerning the use of extraordinary revenues held by private entities stemming directly from the and mobilized central bank of russia assets. but despite the fact that the

european union itself is dealing with massive unrest among farmers who are obviously upset about their own economic situation, this new package promises to dish out 50000000000 euros over a timeframe of 4 years from the european union's collective budget. uh, to see ads now, it's suppose to provide key of money for its public sector salaries of the welfare state, as well as under funded government departments. what can you tell us about the preconditions for this agreement? this package, this implementation will apparently involve yearly reviews of how this money is being used to make sure that it's going where it's supposed to be going. and the agreements also stipulates that all of this is supposed to be predicated on the assumption that c, f is going to be respecting, so called human rights and democratic principles as a precondition for the support for ukraine under the facility shelby, the ukraine continues to uphold and respect effective democratic mechanisms,

including a multi party parliamentary system and the rule of law and to guarantee respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities or for anyone who has been really paying attention that all sounds sort of like a far cry from the rope, the realm of reality because ukraine, like i said before, is a country that is very corrupt. it's. busy so banned all of its opposition media and even the orthodox church. they are faced for pressure and for being accused of having ties to moscow even though officially they have absolutely not. we're talking about 50000000000 heroes over 4 years. how significant is this work? you have, well, compared to in the past, it's not really that significant. i mean, if we assume that these $50000000000.00 euros are going to be equally divided over the next 4 years, then that comes out to $12500000000.00 euros a year. which compared to last year, the european union sent key of 36000000000 year on. so this is clearly a big decrease alongside a recent letter that we also saw from a debt that was signed by you leaders. a number of them that called on partners to

pitch in more to support the key of regime. so it's very possible that brussels either doesn't have the same will. it did or the same financial resources it wants to to continue to pop up. the key ever seen, always spoke with elijah and magneer generalized and the political analyst and belgium. he says that you use focus on ukraine, goes against the interests of its people, has lost this independence because europe can no longer decides what is good for the european people. and because in europe to europe and leaders already following the fight, didn't all america says and not to dances. and this has been highlighted by the decision to customer relationship with russia. and also to reuse the buying the guys and energy from russia that used to be 30 percent less expensive

than any other place in the world. and we seeing how that is affecting the farm is barbara using the numbers in a couple of years. 20 percent, which is a huge number for the farmers will offer using the fluid and also allowing all the ukrainian production that can cover austria check p a and bedroom or 3 countries together because ukraine has a boss. and then so all the products that come to grades free of that and we have to pay taxes. yeah. on all the production and the domestic production, it doesn't really make sense in this way. when we sure thing of a says in the head, the foot. because every, every decision we all taking, we as a population needs to pay the price of these decisions. because we have say, to reach and outcomes to divide russia and the fee to us and break rush as economy

. and then we accept to divide you up, but to fulfill the american world and pay the money. and this is why the farm is on the street, and soon other sectors will burn street because the industry in europe is also equally suffering as, as we've got the industry the now to gaza, where the death toll in the crisis stricken enclave has passed. 27000 with more than 66000 people wounded. well, this comes as the un secretary general urges as well to uphold. last week's i. c. j decision which rule that the country must take all necessary steps to prevent a genocide in the palestinian enclave who was also ordered to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid into gaza. no party to an armed conflict as above international law and the binding decisions of the international court of justice must be complied with. the urgent un appeal comes as

a humanitarian crisis and gaza spreads to unprecedented levels with thousands of civilians fleeing, then battle north and south. these displaced residence 1st. a sheltered in el rey law school in western does that, but were then forced to go to the office secondary up north idea of soldiers and vehicles surrounded the area, demolished the schools wall and told the women to move south the fleeting women said they don't know the fate of the men who were left behind and at the road to the camp was extremely dangerous. yeah. and the people were lying dead in the street and dogs were eating their flesh. i saw a dead man thrown on the road and also a dead woman, and many bodies are just lying in the street. but all she didn't know, and they told us to go to dam, alabama. oh, we don't know if it's a safe place, but we were told to go. that means the road was very difficult,

and children were drowning and mode which reached up to the next. many people died on the way and their bodies which is thrown on the road as they is relative environment shows no sign of relenting the dire situation worse than is every day. despite these conditions as rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu as now called for henri and to be close to the same, the mission has to ends the p. i made these remarks after the i c. j rule that israel must take action to prevent genocidal violence by its armed forces at this time that the international community into you in itself understand that the owner of the mission has to bend under a sofa punctuating it is self perpetuating also in its no desire to keep alive the rescue, the palestinian refugee issue. there are other agencies in the one the other agencies in the world they have to replace on on rob is totally infiltrated and come us. it has been in the service of come us and it's schools. and in many other

israel's war against under wall continues nowadays, really prime minister is calling for the closure of the agency, which is a crucial lifeline for desperate. how is teens and gathering interest heard prime minister, antonia who chose to speak about it at the meeting with foreign and bassett, or as to the un during the visit to israel. and his speech prime minister attacked under the law, but also lashed out at the un itself, claiming it is unbelievably tilted when it comes to dealing with israel. also, earlier on monday, these really foreign minister demanded the resignation of the had of another law ahead of the commissioner general's planned visit to the countries rose top diplomats wrote on his social media supporters of terrorism. i know to welcome here . as you know, is real accused, 12 falls under the personnel of participating in a mass of over 7 assault on israel, claiming 7 of them stormed into these really territory well to participated in kidnappings. and before any investigation was launched, several western countries,

crucial donors of the agents that decided to freeze the funding to under law. the un warranty, it will have catastrophic consequences. quote for guys where issue monetary and crisis is unfolding following months as long as really offensive that is continuing . the land is now urging for my daughter as to reconsider this quick and dangerous decision. i underscored the importance of keeping owner was vital work going to meet the dire the needs of civilians in gaza and to ensure its continuity of services to palestine. refugees in the occupied west bank, jordan, lebanon, and syria. warner was the backbone of all humanitarian response and gossip by appeal to all member states to guarantee the continuity of owner was life saving work. meanwhile, humanitarian situation and guys is critical. lack of drinking water and food is dramatic. hundreds of thousands of people are starving and plus, well, then 85 percent old in claims to points. we 1000000 population have been internally

displaced. and great concerns, of course, now are that without an alarm, and with these really mills reparation continue, including intensive airs, tries things on the ground, might quickly turn hate into a disaster. if the countries that to spend the, their funding to on their what maintain their decision, the impact will be catastrophic on the people of color right now as the war continues, as the displacements continues, as people are mostly in, on the rush shelters receiving wheat flour to make bread from hon, receiving medical services from monroe. so the impact will be really a disaster, as well as the timing is quite interesting as a israel launch this whole campaign against another wall. shortly after the international court of justice issued, i preliminary ruling and a case accused in israel, off committing genocide and guys on the case. and which i got a lot of testimonies play to very important role. and we're able to include advisor

chords as evidence that the crisis in gaza is compounded by dehumanizing language. one form is really official even directly called another one is rose, anomie and fret. you've shelby got. it will be impossible to win the will if we do not destroy unrest. and this destruction must begin immediately appalled from attacks on that un release agency. now we hear that israel is going to sit around limit taking humanitarian $0.08 to the gather strength for these really territory complex in, in the a distribution is controlled by him mass, and food, water, medical supplies, and fuel falling according to israel, into the hands of the militant group, israel is fighting to eliminate the move is claimed now to be a temporary measure, but it is an alarm and sign and also to contradict in holding on the international court of justice that ordered israel to do its best to prevent killings, destruction, but also to provide humanitarian assistance to ordinary guidance from sufferings, continue and grow, and the decisions,

whatever consequences it might have would become a response to growing public discontent. relatives and protests have been organized in tell a b, jerusalem, and also as a kind of show on crossing at the junction for that. so which are the age goes into the gaza, with people demanding to stop trucks from going to the place. and the most recent events for tester is mostly mothers of these really military tribes to block the port on by start the city in israel, south and other entry points for the aid. they believe they committed hearing aids, supports him as that the sons assigned to the games, so it should be stopped immediately when the war started. by the way, israel strongly rejected any assistance to what goals in guys are valued and complete, sage also in clay, but as the international pressure mountain, it eventually agreed to allow some of the aid hand hundreds of trust was desperately needed. supplies made their way through israel into the college student

in place ever since. now experts say that's maybe international pressure, again, might make his world change it's behavior. and we have to wait and see what the world's reaction to israel's efforts to limit the age to crisis. thorn tree will be the costs to stop or limit the entry of a to guys that come not only from ordinary is really is but also from war cabinet ministers. they want to limit the encore of supply line to a place to a distribution responsibility with a non homos body. this comes despite unrest, claims that if funding remained suspended, the organization will most likely be forced to shut down his operations. by the end of february, we spoke to they hear us, some are of humanitarian and pro palestinian activists who believes the funding of and right is more than a coincidence. given the recent i, c. j rolling is wrong, came off of statements prior to i, c j saying that they do not believe that i c j will be really according to separate

prophetic dismissed everything that the south african legal team brought to the i c j. but with the i c, j supported a lot of that notion and of how was that? yours diction. it seems very coincidental that a day or day, well the same day or day later that is wrong. comes with claims of how it's one rest off being involved with different mazda tech and funding stuff. stuffing it's, it's extremely coincidental owner as a release if it's in the cause of the main life blood and support for high is that right? they have over 13000 stops, and it's the main source of funds that are going into highs. yeah. and so the to be 2000000 people in the highs. uh, uh, extremely dependent on, on girlfriends. um and you know, if you're gonna start funds like that, and you're not going to replace it with additional funds, that's going to have catastrophic impacts on the people of headsets. but you're talking about a situation we, it's not even under normal circumstances. we humanitarian aid the need for

a test for we doubled or tripled under normal circumstances and the food you would expect, aid to double or triple. and so cutting and refunding or, or depleting under funding or reducing it is going to have massive amounts of impacts on the people of kaiser holiday. honestly, how are they made to this suffice and out of pakistan were thousands of protesters have gathered in the northern city of budget or demonstrators are demanding justice for the killing of local election candidate. behind it is a politician was shot into at his campaign rattling and after his funeral people gathered in the local market to protest, calling for an investigation into the murder and for those responsible to be found as soon as possible. the one must tell us how long will these dramas last? first, there will be an attack, we will protest and then the government representatives will come to talk to us and

we will give them a deadline. then another deadline, we have not seen any results of the investigations into these back to back terrorist attacks. what about your phone book? the nation is concerned and anxious and deserves to know the motives, whatever they are behind this tragedy. this is a test case for the government, administration and security agencies to investigate and tell us the causes and motives of this attack. as soon as possible. one of the 5 by cold on my stage, we are your children. we need your shelter and protection enough. let's stop this bloodshed, whoever did this, must be arrested. with the 2024 breaks for him. now wrapping up in moscow, we get a chance to speak with the russian deputy foreign minister and to ship it to the group from nuclear deterrence to the middle east. crisis, sir gabriel pub discussed a wide range of issues with archie. we need ceasefire. we need to do our most to feel deficiencies

that are of us and a couple of the un security council resolutions adopted recently on this issue. we do not believe that the, the policy which the government, the state of israel disuse, that this is the way to go. it only aggravates the overall situation, multiplies the risks and suffering in the region eastern mendez. we need to stop this and effect rich speaking, see one big 6 weeks before new year. there was a very important gathering. it was a lead as meeting a taken in virtual full months. the message from the uh was very clear. this should be stopped by the senior people, their lives should be saved and we should do our utmost to come back into the mode is to find the political solution based on the principles of 2 sovereign

states, leaving in peace with each other and how codes been made at least it would be transform if muslim countries are united. i do think that in countries in the region united and there are several initiatives of regional care act that we witness and support. we think that's uh, early attempts uh over the biden administration to union let sure the transform the region and the impose solutions that would allow for normalization, no relationship between israel and some that up states. they completely failed. it was not the comprehensive approach. it was in attempts to economically by piece to put it this way. it didn't work more expands.
