and became an important milestone on the weight of final independence. the at least 112 palestinians had been massacred as they were rushing to receive aid in northern jobs up. we get a 1st hand account from survivors and witnesses the and we were on how the receipts street and certainly tank store and pass. it was chaos. there were crowds of people, but the occupation tips fire in the task. there were so many martyrs and the casualties. we will not allow anyone to interfere in our internal affairs. the so called west with its colonial habits, needs independent fading dying states instead of russia plus or an attempt to instill fear in russia. and we cannot have collided with the firm. will of the people says president vladimir put in his state of the nation address

and the u. k. rejects the bombshell comments by germany's chancellor sold that britain and france are helping you brain fire long range missiles are russian forces the are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. we begin with news from northern at guys, according to local officials, at least 112 palestinians in a crowd desperate for food aid had been killed and 760 more wounded near gaza city . this distressing footage circulating online shows the aftermath of the stripe local media reports suggest the civilian death toll was even higher. and that the idea of killed 150 of the age seekers survivors tried to help the wounded so they could be taken to nearby. i'll see if i and to come all on one hospitals and make shift cards listed in authorities have condemned the attack, calling in

a cold blooded massacre of the occupation had the primitives ages intention to come with this sort of like massacre as a get a l. digs a cation of this month is intentionally and in the context of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the people of gaza. the occupation army also neither of these victims had arise and visited to obtain food and age, but still kill them in cold blood. according to palestinian reports, the idea of opening fire on a crowd of palestinians who gathered on the sheets street and guides the city where they have been waiting for food distribution. the palestinian health ministry blames israel for the deadly attack. how my soul so reacted. se base assault is part to face rows efforts to fully displace palestinians from the land and quote, obliterate the palestinian cause. for hours there was no any official reaction from age rather than just recently. the idea of released a stage when the initial idea of the investigation revealed the militants open fire

on humanitarian aid trucks and the resulting russian trampling. many gallons were killed. the idea responded by firing a warning shots as guys approach them, believing they were endangering our forces. many of the wounded were evacuated to the chief of the other hospitals. those few that was still functioning in the north of the probably seen and, and clave including come on at one hospital from which we received a confirmation and a v g of the injured and killed. here's what the victims have to say. we were on algebra, c street and certainly tank stored us. there were the parcels packed with 8 people who don't have food, collect flower, and aid headed to the sea. it was chaos. there were crowds of people, but the occupation kept fire in with us. there were so many martyrs and casualties . i am one of the wounded. i was on our sheet street. we were there from 7 in the

morning in order to get food for our children. they elias, they said we rotate. but we paid for that site without blog. the, the my nephews went there to bring flower, but they fired on them where under siege to be on us remedy on his coming soon, people should look at us pdfs. humanitarian crisis in gaza continues deepening with numerous human rights organizations reporting that fuel trucks crossed into the in quite recently, blaming israel for delays and for blocking the fake health carrying food halter and medical supplies. at the check point, if you were emissions were also able to reach those in need. those organizations also reported that almost no age is distributed outside rough, all the major city and gases south, where now around 1500000 people crowded officer, they had to flee the hostilities in other parts of this trip. the food that people were waiting for at the time of the attack on saturday morning was brought by

a rare convoy the that's reached. the north has been clave is really official, said the 1st major delivery in a month to the stated isolated area of the un says a quarter of guys is $2300000.00. strong population is one step from famine, including thousands of children, while literally everyone the organization says, is in desperate need of food and all that comes well on the wall. a case human is here in a provider, and guys are that almost half of all function and relief organizations have been relying on even before they swore that it has been forced to pause a deliveries to northern gaza. meanwhile, the probably the student health ministry says at least 30000 people have been killed in the gaza strip since the beginning of these really offensive on october 7th. the ministry has also stated that the st medical facilities are not able to cope with the current wave of the wounded due to of course,

lack of medical supplies and medical personnel. and the governmental body has urged the international community to put pressure on israel to open shoot, and it's aaron corey doors and stop the atrocities in guys, a global average pollution for a c spy. also grow as you know, but so far we see that is ro seems to be determined to continue this devastating more violence, torture, harassment, rape, and threats. new testimonies by female policy and in detainees reveal in humane treatment by as rarely forces. and the report by the euro mag humana trained rights monitor is based on the stories of dozens of women who say they were abused by the idea of soldiers. we heard some of those revelations. we were searched while we were completely naked inside a closed off area, and the female soldiers beat us severely and continuously. i was threatened with rape and told that i would not see my children. if i decide be the soldier's orders

were made to walk in a line well being teased and humiliated. one of the female soldiers through the blindfold off my eyes and asked me to keep the east really flag during the transfer process. when i refused my face was severely beaten off toward route taken to a location that resembled house cage where we were deprived of basic necessities like food and toilets. you're a med says, the idea of has committed those violations as a part of a larger campaign to dehumanize palestinians in particular, women and children. you and experts also confirmed last week. there were incredible obligations that is rarely forces have assaulted a female palestinian detainees. we spoke with a stomach research runs television presenter, said cusick, he said, if true, that behavior would be beyond any bounds of human decency. as long as respect to the woman does extend that a man cannot look at the woman to accept or cannot see. it is,

think of the roman list, her husband or one of his relatives exit handles and face as a way of sources. i'm vitally ever think they really international loan, say they've only values ethics, religious values. ethics top says, i mean they don't ever respect international lunch, they don't have any um, any covenants in it for it's like so if it's small but something normal due to the suspects of does to very lane my was international though, the russian president vladimir putin says the objective of western countries to weekend and dictate to russia has not come to fruition that says he delivered his state of the nation address to the russian parliament in moscow. you said we will not allow anyone to interfere in our internal affairs. the so called west with its colonial habits, habits that inside national conflicts around the world,

strives not only to hold back on development. instead of russia, they need a dependent fading, dying state. and that's a place where you can create whatever is beneficial. in essence, they would like to do to rush of the same thing they did in many other areas of the world, including in ukraine. they want to bring this forward into our home and we can us from the inside. but they miscalculated. this is already absolutely obvious. today, their plans have collided with the firm position and determination of our people. mostly it was on domestic as soon as progress concerns goals for the future. i'll get to that a little bit later, but that was an international blog which will no doubt make headlines in the west. now watermark hooton's sorted by addressing all the rumors and western propaganda that was in here in 4 months, if not years. and that's regarding russia's electric crimes, to attack its neighbors, to, uh, to attack you or,

and this is what he had to say about that. the, no, the west claims without any embarrassment that russia is supposedly going to attack you. at the same time, they are choosing targets for strikes on our territory. choosing effective means of defeat, as they themselves think. they talk about the possibility of sending a nato contingent to ukraine. but we remember the fate of those who one sent their troops to the territory of our country. but now the consequences for possible interventionists will be much more tragic. they must finally realize that we too have weapons that can hit targets on their territory and everything that they are inventing. now, what they are scaring the whole world with all this really threatens a nuclear conflict and the destruction of civilization. don't they realize that these are the people who have not gone through hard trials? they have forgotten what war is to them? this is the they think it's all some kind of call to yes. let's call us i have to resend the statements. of course, also by the french president who said that europe sort of allowed something ground

troops into your brain in order to guarantee that rough shot loses because there is no way that they can have that. now, something else that we heard today is that russia's opponents should remember about the rough as a nuclear weapons and out of the system is ready to go and will be activated if need be. but only in terms of defense. now another wild rumor that's been going around in particular in the western press, of course, is about russia's electric plans to sudden nuclear weapons into space that nobody met. recently, there had been more and more unsubstantiated accusations against russia, for example, that we are supposedly going to build nuclear weapons in space. such allegations, which are nothing but allegations are just deployed to drag us into negotiations on their own terms, which are favorable only to the usa. at the same time, they block our proposal that has been on the table for more than 15 years, meaning the draft treaty on preventing the deployment of weapons in space,

which we prepared back in 2008. there was no reaction. therefore, we have every reason to believe that the words of today's american authorities about their religion, interest in negotiations with us on issues of strategic stability or demagoguery. on the eve of the us presidential elections, they just want to show the citizens and everyone else that they still rule the world. they say that we will talk to the russians on those issues that are favorable for america to negotiate to people. but just look, well, as it seemed, the wes flying to contain russia economically, politically would see in russia, reaching out to other countries building on existing partnerships. for example, with china it's become one of its most valued partners over the last year. but also reaching out to all the countries and building relationship, a partnerships there, which seem to an expanding brooks, for example, they'll be more countries added into that. and there's a lot that's been said about the brakes. and for example, shanghai corporation, organizations, these other organizations now that are expanding their becoming stronger and more

countries want to join them and all together, all these organizations, aside from the west, they actually make up more of the world's population, which is quite significant. especially when we see charts, and we'll see that in figures and numbers and just how much of the world that encompasses, that just goes to show you that the less it might live to present itself and as of the ruler of the world. but it's just a small portion of the in charge of the world. and russia has been making friends and allies with the rest of the world, which of course is quite large from out of what the west would like to have us. thanks but another out 10 to minutes, i'll just say a lot of in country it's hunter and that's been in focus over the past year. was definitely apple. google. so i have the roster advocates summit. let's not forget and the african countries are definitely going to be in focus a lot more in the near future as more business projects are being planned. so there you have it russian cheeses last, which is partnerships with other partners, aside from the west and stay, no longer wants to the business, which is ok,

important vladimir putin and was just becoming stronger, more in dependence. the following president put into address to russia's parliament, r t s the countries finance minister and tom c. o n of about moscow's capabilities for responding to the freezing of russian assets abroad by western powers. the russia can respond to the freezing of our assets abroad. the amounts are roughly comparable. there are russian for and assets and companies and countries that are on friendly and are talking about a possible freeze. those assets are divided into production and financial assets. we support production assets in every possible way so that those companies from western countries can work here. we create all conditions for this and we will continue to do so. we're interested in those companies not leaving, but continuing to work in russia, creating new jobs, paying wages, and supporting the gross domestic product. but there are also financial investments

. those are investments in our stocks companies, bonds, and states and federal obligations. the volume is quite significant and is comparable to the volume of our gold and foreign currency reserves that are currently frozen. therefore, if western countries make decisions about restrictions and withdrawals, we will respond symmetrically. we have something to respond with. however, such a step would not be just on friendly but inexcusable because the foreign exchange reserves and central banks are frozen, then withdrawn, then trust in western institutions in the legal system which has been considered something to be imitated, will all collapse. and that will hurt western companies more than russia. they say that the sanctions are working, but the russian economy is growing while the growth rates of western economies are declining. and in some places they are even negative. right for all the key takeaways from president clinton's address to the russian federal assembly. be sure

to visit our website or t dot com, we have all the updates there for you the a slab in the face of their allies. that's how the u. k. c's, german, chancellor, all i've schultz is bombastic claims about britain and france, supposedly helping ukraine far, long range missiles out russian forces. the soldiers comments are wrong, irresponsible, and a slap in the face to allies. we have a choice either will give you credit with needs, or we will see more bloodshed and a complete failure of the terrence. this is a flagrant abuse of intelligence deliberately designed to distract from germany's reluctance to arm ukraine with its own long range missile system. this will no doubt be used by russia to racket up the escalator letter. alright, joining me in the studio here is our t correspondent, fiorella isabel fiorella. schultz says you can print and helping your clients are missiles at russian forces. that's a pretty big rubber lation from the leader of

a needle member states. yeah, it is indeed the german chancellor is facing blow back from his allies because of the fact that he's the quiet part out loud. saying that parents in london are actually eating and target control in senior, waiting, that they are then helping ukraine by conducting a test for them against russians. now this comes after schultz refused to make germany what he said, a part of a conflict in ukraine. also insinuating that both france and the u. k. are doing exactly that. he also affirmed that there's absolutely no way that germany would provide these tourist missiles to ukraine. go down to farm. german soldiers must a new point and in no place be linked to targets that the tara system reaches. this is a very far reaching weapon and what is being done on the part of the british and french in terms of target control and target control assistance cannot be done in germany

. everyone who has dealt with the system knows that what you crane is missing is a munition at all possible distances, but decisively not this thing from germany done. so for making a clear boundary and as to what, how far germany is willing to go for ukraine. he was slammed as not being the man for the job, also accused of working as a propagandist for the kremlin. and a former senior m. p from angela merkel is former party also said that this is an irresponsible remark. now last week, german lawmakers did call on the government to actually deliver a further long range missiles, but the they actually voted down opposition to specifically send these tours missile. so he's clearly not alone here. so it has there been further clarification from schultz as to what he meant? yes, actually the chancellor reiterate reiterated. it stands out basically because he

said that the long range of the tourist is really dangerous and it risk having perhaps an accident because it's likely to go as far as moscow and could ignite a global catastrophe. the tourist has a range of 500 kilometers and if applied incorrectly, it can hit a target somewhere in moscow. so clearly country there is some leaders in the u. sholtes is admitting, not only to the capability of their weapons, but also to who is actually behind the scenes in control of ukraine's defense. and this is, of course, all in spite of it being supposedly a proxy war as well. a few rela, we've seen response from the u. k, but what's been the reaction from france? well, france was a little bit more subdued. the reaction was a little bit more calm. that's despite the friction between germany and france in terms of arming ukraine. now the government didn't have an official comment, but an m p name, benjamin hot dog from president emmanuel,

mate. crohn's renaissance party did tweet that. the chancellor's comments were divisive and could lead to a diplomatic crisis. the shots, this reaction to the troops and ukraine creates a major diplomatic crisis between germany and the united kingdom. berlin is very isolated, but that's not all michael ross who is also from schultz. his own party and head of the boons installed for an affairs committee. also said that he regretted the exchange, but they need to re focus on together combat and putting and his a legit war on you prayed and they're strong or when they're all opposing putting but nevertheless sold, says a british allies and says that if the u. k. did provide the strong shadow missile, and the french did provide the stops, then germany needs to do his part and send these a tourist missiles and they're holding back the security of europe. so this all

comes after french president emanuel mac problem did push the idea. rachel, of having a contingent of nato troops and ukraine towards all i allies responded by saying this is not going to happen. we don't agree with this. and vladimir put in, we saw just the dress, the saying list is not acceptable. and that accusations against russia going after europe are nonsensical when it's, you know, when they're the ones doing this. so it seems that things are escalating, but also in a below back to that the pendulum is swinging the other way. and we're seeing some pulse to de escalate as well. right if you're elizabeth. thank you. all right, let's continue the discussion now in cross live to author and war. correspondent thomas roper, a thomas germany says britain and france are assisting ukraine in firing at russian troops. is this a straight up admission that nato forces are directly involved in this conflict? yes, um. well, when they saw supported programming. uh, the, the rocket. so the,

my, uh, the christmas of this, this uh, may be even worse than, than been being with a rifle at the front. they are choosing to august programming the night of the missiles and the air shooting. so is this not, i'm not taking part in the war? and so why what the german chancellor admit to that? do you think that this was a slip of the tongue? why would he leak information that could potentially cause a rift within nato? and so the question maybe really it slipped off because he is a big pressure in germany. and maybe he wanted to give an argument why he's of this position. but maybe it was specially because of the discussion, the review of this, right? quite aggressive at this moment, and by the way, i want to remember, at least i have read that the office of the bridge is prime minister, also admitted that they have that they don't want to send many troops. additionally, to the few forces, they only already happened. ukraine, supporting the ukranian army. so if the printers are right now,

i angry at shoals of the office to the as soon as the office of mister, so not what he's doing, that it appears so that schultz was trying to say that germany is not directly involved in the conflict. unlike that you can france, what do you think about that? well, um, the bundle of the board to start the problem and has the commission, which is a specialist on international law. and already in march 20 to this commission, i was asked to give an answer, what is a beam part of it at the war? and the answer was, well, sending weapons as much um, training troops might be and uh, exchanging intelligent information is being part of the war. and we know that the german special forces didn't. yeah. to deliver the information to ukraine. so some, all the whole west, including germany is already from this point of view, part of the war. the shuttle test said the tourist missile system could only be used under western supervision because if it's used incorrectly,

it could potentially hit moscow or do you think western forces could already be a new crane operating the weaponry provided by those countries? well um i think we haven't quite, quite frankly residing the discards and they have a storm a shuttle real kits that denise, also that this is leg that so they all of that. um, even more uh, there are many, many information about the question that uh its west and uh, buffers us at least offices commanding the petri at the sabbath systems. um, no i, i got information that the sales are held, which is which project from, from friends could not be used to the nature of data that the french give the data of the codes to video pregnancy. i also have some doubts. so the company catches weapon systems might be under control of less than soul just already. so this is at least by russian experts say, and what is logical for me? we saw hasty reaction from the u. k to these comments. you think that it's

a sign that there was potentially some truth in what the german chancellor said? yeah, as i said, um uh you have to listen to the announcement of the office of a bridge. prime minister, who said additional to the truth. they don't want to send many troops. additionally, to the fuel troops, they have already you and your credit supporting the ukranian army. so they also split the liberals. uh, yeah. i think, i think you said that what does this all mean for all optional as do you think that this saying this could affect his is political future? that's a good question um to change them, you have to think whom to, to put in this place that he is anyway, and that much critics and that might be um the breakup of the coalition. there may be might be this conservative party being the next chancellor. this can happen any time. maybe they will do it to the next elections, but i think there's no chance of the day when again might be i think charles is

somehow yeah, find him also for his political survival. right. we'll leave it there. thomas roper author, and war. correspondent, thank you. now to chad in north central africa, where a prosecutor has confirmed the death of the opposition party leader. yeah. zillow, the head of the socialist party without borders was killed during an exchange of heavy gunfire with security forces. the country has seen violent classes between forces loyal to the transitional, government and opposition groups that allegedly attacked the headquarters of the national security agency. are ti correspondence not over, you can gay and south africa has the details. also, we sold tensions running quite high in the central african country. i've tried, we, several people were killed. finally, the attack on the country is intelligent services. tad's, the state prosecutor has announced that the ideal of the leader of the opposition

lived. we party who was killed during a gun, fights with security forces off to the attack at the countries internal security. this, of course, off to the to transitional government accused team. and he's a positional party of trying to assess the to the supreme court. the president, during that attack, which he denied and called staged for the stating that to be desired goal was to physically eliminate him to make him afraid of. so he doesn't go to the elections in the coming see minds that at the moment. indications that chads presidential and legislative elections will be a highly august rated and tough exercise, especially in making sure that the general mohammed deebee remains impala. of course the attack was also prompted. i'm also prompted people to leave the area in the central office. i mean the, which is the capital a with the p is if offices that had to surrounded by the army. we also understand

that just since around mid day, the telephone network and internet what disrupted to so there was no form of communication for a lot of people including stimulus. let's have a listen to this. then in the capital of cad butram, and many people do not have the opportunity to receive information because the internet has been turned off in the country since the morning is difficult to send even a semester messages from the capital. chad, the situation is complicated. a curfew has been imposed in the capital since 6 o'clock were tracked inside the city and cannot move freely. we also know that chad electoral commission had unexpectedly announces the presidential elections and aimed at ending these 3. yes, long minutes we've moved into a central african country. well now, which is now expected to take place on the 6th of may, a head of the initially plan dated. it does seem like security will remain quite tied in domina and to major cities the over the coming few days on storage. he's

a put implement for the um, restrictions on telecommunications, as well as check points and the confused as well. we spoke to the investor of the republic of chad to russia, who stressed the government was taking measures to restore civil order and security . it's not, it's just security my guess to be sure that it is safe. and to be sure that the, the spot, the media does not the uh, the situation, any federal, maybe it was stupid or something like that. it's all about that tells us about the question about associated like an association assessment something. what do you let me show you secretly? well that was i think he was he had he did that when it does, he wants to come on. don't know if the or the thought out that the the government forces. so it's the, let me see the 2nd time,

the challenge that go on. if you was to be a manual mobilizing your for the worse on defining the government forces. so what, what, so on that one to address the some of usability, he was the, uh, the some by force. that's what happened to do, stay with archie up next on the cost of everything. the cost of the home by the .
