the, the russian, i think a strike chocolate is taking a but ukrainian drove the control positions and the don't extra public is the clearing of the recently captured key city of up to you have the continues and we are on the ground. this is the then that's going to filtering plots the ukrainians . they were the 1st to gain a foothold here. the 1st order of business for the media was to strip citizens of the nets of something as basic as the right as the access to tap water. let them include in vows, more advantage and strengthening rushes armed forces. it was coming on the defender of the fatherland national holiday. and just the day after we took to the skies co pilot thing, the foster strategic palmer in the world. and these really connect it fails to else

the fellow m p over his public support for south africa's genocide case against the country. we hear from the out of a central that old who highlights low, may cause a turning a blind eyes to continue to disrupt the theme and got the vast majority among the 120 members of the can. i said it just, you know, tell them it's the whole oh, even me, i'll us find said just the pretend ship for what's going on in god's up and then it's, it keeps bang for, for me as a human being the live i loud with you. one use front and send it without the annoying, predictable mainstream narrative. this is on the international straight to ukraine . we go where russian forces are set to have carried out a wave of strikes on ukrainian drone control operators. the targets were on the north of the gwinnett script public. what keeps forces have partial control of the

area. okay, a 52 helicopters, known as the alligators, and unique with a dual rotor design were using the attack. the russian ministry defense says the stripes were launched from close range in bad weather. and we heard from one of the pilots, still an envelope with a little bunch of today, the task was set to destroy the enemy's you a, the control points i know the flight took place without any special features. the targets have been destroyed. the helicopter did not let us down to a cup on finishing the attack with that one board defense system notified the crew . about the launch of the sting. the onboard defense system then launched heap traps, and the inverted the me solid at the middle of gilbert and moving to the south. although donuts republic, specifically the recently captured city of, of df got all these equinox donald brings us to disclose the report he looked at how russian soldiers took back to the main water filtration facility during the crating and retreat. this is the, the nets quote of filtering plants and until early 2022,

it used to provide fresh would say to used to provide access to fresh water for the entire city in early 2020, to kind of switch sides. it used to be in the grey zone, kind of the no man's land according to the mask agreements and the ukrainians. they were the 1st to gain a foothold here. the 1st thing they did, the 1st order of business for them here was to deny was to strip citizens of the nets of something as basic as the right as the access to tap water. the station hasn't been a safe place for years. it's operating company would have to repeatedly implement shut downs to ensure workers safety back then all hopes were pinned on the o is see, and it's you and backed monitoring mission alex piece make the skills. now the stations that provided water for over a 1000000 people looks like this. the

you to call was a. we took your of dave car reads the scripture on the wall, left by the unit to enter the territory of the batted station 1st. little because we're no significant bottles here, but it's an interesting story. we're preparing for the salt and how to make our way through the tunnels here. in the end everything happens so spontaneously, or drill and dropped leaflets, calling for surrender in the red, we will kill you and had the phone number of our division commander. they called and said that they wants to surrender. we gave them half an hour, so they jumped out of their positions. and then a chain reaction began. then emmys fled from of day of code. that is,

there were no harsh clashes. they simply fled and were shot as they ran away, throwing their weapons, the 2 issues, or it won't be sued until this facility will be able to pump water to people's kitchens and bathrooms. ukraine still holds hostage the river of saber ski. the next. the main water supply of the don't pass rusher has to claim control over its upstream too. so the issue, clues of black smoke rising on the horizon show that it is doing just that. how much is done of the protein from the dog boss? ok, see what the russian president vladimir putin has vowed to beef up rushes military capabilities. his pledge are coming earlier this friday on the defender of the fatherland national holiday. so what he meant in the media email, it wasn't, it was, it was, it is, there are many allow many challenges and risks in the modern world that the powerful capabilities and combat readiness of our army and navy guarantee russia

security and it's free solver and development incorporating our real combat experience, we will continue to strengthen the armed forces in every possible way, including ongoing re equipping and modernization efforts. today, the share of modern weapons and equipment and the strategic nuclear forces has already reached 95 percent. while the naval component of the nuclear triad is at almost a 100 percent, we have begun serial production of news or con hypersonic missiles. trials of other offensive systems are nearing completion. last december, new strategic submarines were added to the navy just the other day and cars and 4 to 160 and this whole carriers were transferred to the armed forces. fortunately, no worries, but it's a huge skip. but when his comments come on, the heels of his trip to the cars on aviation manufacturing facility, offer a pre flight inspection, present food and took to the skies to co pilot, one of the nation's modernized strategic. almost before climbing on board, he personally inspected 4 of the upgrade today across we understand his flight. last at around 40 minutes, sell the 2 a one to 60 m as a reference for huge

a ball by no nose of the white swan domestically and black jack by nato countries. as part of the countries nuclear triad, it's got a range of a 12000 kilometers without refueling. so munition load is pretty varied and weapons from a ms files that guided munitions on nuclear capable weapons and even the ability to deploy c mines. now it can also carry the f, a, b, the fab bombs that have been used extensively during the ongoing competing ukraine . it's a high, a real explosive device here. it's actually started getting developed back in the soviet union. but these days they will be in modernized with a wing kits and satellite nav that allows precise targeting, but also the ability to deploy them fall from the front lines of these while he was in high volumes during the strikes on of jessica. meanwhile, i was out of my food and gave his review on the aircraft the carriage. the it is. yes, we are receiving advanced military hardware and it's excellent. it's really of the

next generation. as i told the aircraft commander in the hands of the defense ministry, of course, it can be accepted into the service of the russian armed forces. it's a new aerial vehicle. it is handled very well, and which is visible to the naked eye. it's very reliable. well, a traditional value is a shred by people across the globe and held there by russia. those was some of the key takeaways from a speech by side. it meant food and a forum, cold, strong ideas for the new ty, give them that the task of lead me thing. and they certainly think what i showed that our detractors were pursuing, as obviously failed. but it's also clear that we have more and more supporters all over the world, especially concerning what we call, traditional values of cetera. it turns out that they are not only ours, and these are traditional values for any same person. but the support to hold onto these traditional values turned out to be quite large and reliable, not only and friendly,

but also in on friendly states. we also have many allies there, julia, the russian president, also our praise, and it's highly and students suggestion to simplify the procedure of a far and those wishing to emigrate to russia. we added that most go needs to attract more highly skilled workers, highlighting the old new comments must respect the country's laws and customs. earlier. my colleague of mike a quite to discuss the issue with ought to contribute to present the medium. strongly nice, nice people in the west think the russians off example high before the big. that's absolutely not true. in the middle top, we showed that the speech put together, he actually addressed this point directly to the phone, just presses on honda civic. that all day people invest that and they're all gay people living with each other about that's the only difference is you have in russia, there's a certain volume system which says look, it's fine to be gay. it's fine to date. as my grandmother, one sites, me, whatever someone gets up to in the one bedroom is that i'm business and that's fine . it's just as a cultural values that hey, which that, that, personally, i find very refreshing. the idea that you know, and when my, my,

my son is born in april, i wouldn't have to worry about what he's watching on the television. that he's being told that what a man and woman is and that he can identify as a dog. and that sort of thing here. so i think that's the, that's the biggest thing that scared the people seeing is a different kind of body system that respects those norms and values opposed to the ones which that pushing on the majority of the west and populations that doesn't say the values of the lease, but let's talk about traditional find a use that this is one thing that russia has in it and holds very dear to the mind . and then you, coming from the british, you know, that setting, we all know that britain have send them an amazing, you know, traditional find yourself, it's totally fine. it's like everybody default movie that we watch. you don't need to have that british setting kind of. so you this old, but what does that mean to you coming from the bridges setting that has very deep rooted traditional values and coming to russia with its own maybe could be

a little different, but i know the very deep, you know, rooted tradition and society. what does that mean to you? yeah, so it means that huge amounts, who might, because the, the, the putting, the i grew up in, i don't think, exist in the same way. and i'll, i'll give you an example. so i believe, you know, russians and, and british people, the majority of people, we share the same values, the families of family life, the value of, of life. and that would be what people would call traditional buddies. but i didn't admit, traditionally, i think that common sense about yeah, and i think what's happened really in the west, but even in, in the case that has been a road, it's the point that people don't really know what they're thinking. i can give you a quick kind of like kind of, we don't have that much time in a very good friend of, of, of mine. i'm actually going to father to her son. him at school right now. he's going to school in the u. k. and his mother has had to put him out the clause because they decided to teach him much and a 6 year old boy and telling him that you can either to fly as anything you want. i think it's a 2nd fugitive. so you said it comes to his mom and says, mom,

i think i'm a boy, my boy. i mean, it's a, it's probably the best sports. yeah. there's, you know, those values, the respect to them, we aren't going to put that in childrens has, i mean putting those they said that we please don't touch the children. yeah. any minute he meant that. and so yeah, i think if i honest as requested that side of that where i get so and it's members of the, is there any problem and have once again rejected the idea of a palestinian state and it moved being celebrated by the country's prime minister. the kinetic came together in an overwhelming majority against the attempt to impose on us the establishment of a palestinian state, which would not only fail to bring peace, but what also in danger of the state of israel. this is not the 1st time that israel has dismissed the 2 state solution which was 1st proposed get this friday. the 9th of nations in 1947 for years now is rarely several months on occupied territory in the west by and have expanded, despite most of the international community old calling them illegal. but the

palestinian foreign ministry condemned to light his vote by israel saying that global recognition does not require israel's permission. meanwhile, within his route itself, the opposition has branded the prime minister, the main obstacle to peace, even a choosing him of brainwashing the people. this in you who has been the main obstacle to peace for sure. and he certainly has prevented peace or any political solution into one of his years in politics. one of the reasons for cultivating him off was to make sure that there's no peace because that would mean a palestinian state, which is a big no, no for him. it's more likely that he will not go for peace, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt, even though he does not deserve any benefit. that may be a miracle can happen in a separate boat and fees tried but fail to oust an opposition. m p who's supporting south africa's claim that israel's behind genocide and gaza all for the cost safe was accused of siding with how much we spoke with custody of himself. he said the

master types of october, what an edible he also says the attacks will blow back for his really policy. they may in fact to that in jen and been just is that w o himself and his government down the main venture to the very existence of the state of reason of the pro fees. we cannot ignore all the conditions that enabled the data of the cottage of 74 to be when created by nathan, y'all and his governments while the use and my soccer is to stop the blood ship. i don't want anyone to be cute a night. the police tvs, nobody's a lease that's it is of course cannot be investigated. so like any other guns we cannot investigate, it stands. so the part is john appropriate in the what actually seduce him, which is recognized by use this way, by the way, you guys to jake. and then that was the multi multi page in my book division in

signing this petition. and by the way, that the feature was not against the state the freezer, because it gives the government to piece by the idea of the chief of the general stuff is what it is really soldiers to stop speeding and publishing. so cold revenge videos from guns, we must be careful not to take anything that is not ours. the souvenir are weapons and not to film revenge video. this type and comes off the video is taking the idea of troops have actually been used as evidence against israel. and the latest i c. j . case in the hague media report. say that since the beginning of the conflict up to $25000000.00 worth of cash and gold have been stolen by the is really ministry from palestinian harvest. meanwhile, and is really veteran organization. we publish a statement saying, actually this has been ongoing in gaza for years. we've collected many testimonies

over the years from different areas in the west bank and gaza strip, which occurred in very and circumstances. but these past few months have been different movie and has never been normalized in the way it has over the last 4 months. it's never been done with such glee, knowing that these really public in the world are watching and all with such a little interest from the military's top brass. not to mention our politicians. we talked with a member of the anti occupation block in a high for israel yoseph stable. he says, israel's not actually interested in showing the full picture of what's truly happening in gaza have of this as well. yeah. because this, uh, this is a kind of thing that actually uh, makes us, uh, these rallies look in uh, in a bad way. uh, internationally. i, i've been watching the thesis of the hearing the i c, j and the last 2 days. and one thing that's been replacing all the time is, uh, is the fact that it's a social yeah. of the army these, well,

i'm not seen from that with the, with the international goals. so i'm fine. i'm in the minority position right now, and i would say that amongst friends, most of the people in each round are quite okay with what's going on. as far as i want, the idea is doing. and as i think it's mainly because of the use these really media hundreds fairly much and they're supposed to come back to this so to assess and routes for people to to as follow them. i don't think, i think the majority of people us usually uh and get on information from these really media is doesn't really see the school picture and the 5 of the drum and i'll position to false button to send long range cruise missed off to ukraine.

has been voted down by the palm or the makers did back emotions who still was applying for the military support to ukraine. that's a get over to optic contributor, rachel moss and picking up the story, have a goodness. the german chancellor or schultz has long been saying that he doesn't want to give any of germany's long range tourist missiles to ukraine because he wants to avoid escalation. you think that one has 3 party traffic light. coordination of shots is red socialist, democratic party. the greens and yellow liberals of the free democratic party went to the drawing board to come up with new weapons packages for ukraine. they want to be explicit about the absolutely positively no tourist as part that shows had adamantly been insisting on. but that's not at all what happened. instead, the tree governing parties came up with a resolution for quote, the delivery of additionally necessary long range weapon systems that could strike quote bar in the rear area of the russian aggressor. which actually turns out to be

a pretty ap description about this whole issue. risks doing the schultz himself striking him in the rear area because this resolution went to vote in the brenda stock and ended up passing without any explicit mention of shots is red line or named torres transfers. now, why might this spell trouble for schultz down the road? because towards this have a range of 500 kilometers. so double the striking distance of cruise missiles provided to care from some other european allies like british storm shadows, or french scout missiles. and if she ever gets his hand on torres is a condense peaceably attack really far inside russia with the like. for example, the courage bridge to the crime in peninsula that you are training and officials keep talking about attacking with you pray and president line years. let's be himself calling it a quote, legitimate military target, just last summer. so we're talking about a game changer that schultz is government has just introduced that shows wishes that he would have been able to just step out and take a bathroom break or something on this vote like he was able to get on. gary and

prime minister victo or bond to do in brussels when for upon was worried about was low back from supporting the started you crazy. accession talks if there was no think that the opposition christian democrats tried to put forward a resolution earlier. was that explicitly mentioned the transfer of torres is increasing as ukraine continues to not receive the full amount of material and urgently needs to effectively repel the russian war of aggression. and i call on each and every one of you in the federal government to vote for our resolution to finally make our government deliver the tourist cruise missiles to ukraine. sounds like they want to be 1st in line for but slots and hugs next times when he comes into town. so it looks like some, including a few from shots his own government coalition. actually really like the idea of turning the landscape wish list directly into german decision. got it. and so i have just now decided to vote for the c d u resolution exclusively because the

tourist system was unambiguous. we mentioned in the 1st day that i think that when we are to vote on such matters in the future, we should avoid factional coersion. so children's government, on the whole though, voted against that cd. you resolution that was totally explicit about the use of tauruses. i guess it's a bad idea to leave a note of intention if you're going to be in a comp list to a potential feature disaster seems a, it's a good idea to leave room, at least for some plausible deniability by not explicitly mentioning the actual name of the weapon that risk being plastered all over the new sunday and tied directly to you and to this very approval. if there's any doubt that that's exactly what's going on here. just as the deputy part of mentoring group leader of shots. his own party of the for the does the formulation resolution for this include the tourist system on the nation. this is not something that can be answered the simply with the yes or no least the question of interpretation. just the fact is we haven't drawn

a red line at this point. deniability seems to already be the name of the game with a german defense minister saying that he didn't even really have the slightest clue what was actually in the more bag resolution on fast this was the, does this include torres for you? yes or no. let's categories conflict can answer that. i have read the application and the applicants will have thought of their part in it. despite what seems to be an attempt by the german government to put some distance between itself and the tourist says that are explicitly included in their resolution. keep in mind that schultz really is the king of south on it, tries to go along with depriving rush of gas revenues and ends up sending germany into a recession and now tries to help ukraine and totally fail to put any explicit fail safe or red lines on the transfer of the very same weapons that he's been having sleepless nights over the idea of ukraine, even getting its hands are to demonstrate is if the streets in south africa off the

countries finance minister announced it will draw down its contingency reserves over the next 3 years by $8000000000.00, the move is set to count to the rising debt load in the nation. the protesters within holding pack codes with inscriptions don't cut the basic needs and tax the rich. and we heard from some of those at the depth. now we'll tell you, we only have 5 on the gym right now. you must pay this bill. you must buy the post on the house who see the system is kept. now there are no medications that we cannot afford to go to the private the high cost of living education introduced

more so it's amazing. but i think that's fine, is minister, and no one has table between to 242025 budget and the challenge and global and domestic environment. they pay the damage the ongoing power cuts and malfunction in state phone enterprises having an app because most industrialized economy road shows no signs of recovering any time soon. tax collections, affording waste sort of targets and government did as balloon to the point which interest payments consume most of the whole ribbon you collected this budget conference in 2 months election. so this budget that is not about the election. so i'm, i'm cutting date. you can see upsetting that budget. i'm reducing, explain it over the next 3 is, but a do point 6. wherever it is with a number of goods budget cuts on has education. in fact it had to, we're putting it down and for to be doing the and over the next year. ringback the challenges facing sylvester to at the moment necessitates all choices and trade

offs that the will be complicated by the upcoming didn't hold connections and only that, but also so africa facing the economy backlash. but taking useful to the international court of justice where it's going to that peaceful must take action to protect human life in god. that is the j is the quote of. busy created by the germans, by the americans, but every body to such a dispute between nations. so those are the 2, and do anything is like you taking me to port and say no, you're wrong by taking me to court so so the do do anything untoward. there was no reason for those countries to take action against on the, on the basis of taking legitimacy in terms of international law. the combined impact of state utilities, high government did levels was an answer to an electoral outcomes. they words what could have been a successful annual budget speech pool. so i've actually got 40, i'm not of, we'll couldn't get in k,

tom offshore and rushes bear and see moscow has revoked nearly 7 decade long day over the u. k. i know the island which had allow that folds to reboot, bounty of called and had worked for the famous fish and chips meal and some of the quote and get a shrewd move by fusion with moscow, essentially sanctioning of the okay. and it's celebrated staple dish of the

they announce the sanctions on us, but they themselves formed 40 percent of their menu from our comedy. and now let them loose way and get smart. it's our card and other types of fish, including how to that form the rash or the it's a single shooting. yeah. disagreement. unfortunately, was one sided. indeed farmers and rights only to our partners at that time to fish disagreement did not give our fishermen such power. that is, it was actually one sided and did not bring any benefits for soviet fishermen is the denunciation of this agreement will not entail any negative consequences for the russian federation and the development of the fishery conflicts of our state. the announce the sanctions on us. but they themselves,

140 percent of their menu from arcada. now let them lose weight and get smarter and trust it is our cards and other types of fish, including had on that for him. the ratio or wrapping it up here in ocoee international just quickly the u. k. narrow time trade operation center reporting. another incident with a british ship near yemen in the red sea. it's just days after a british registered for you go mostly signed golf to being struck. and it was a couple of weeks ago that a british navy ship fled the red sea returning home off to being attacked by the who. these are the london the city was the ship was simply experiencing cycle the technical difficulties. thanks for your question. move with us here at all to international back to the top of the hour go headlines. the

the the,

the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 18. 85. in the very heart of the african continent, states under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. since the beginning, the congo free state was total, may have for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. to keep the con, the least people under control, the king set up the so called forest bleak which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants, fearing that.
