the, the, the, the situation clearly indicates the forward camp in europe is still there. there's foreign minister circ, a lot of rob says there is no western appetite for peace in ukraine. have for a link called between pops german generals, revealed their plan to bomb rushes, the crime in bridge. deb, that's not the kind of the yeah, hard, it doesn't matter. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us part of the conflict. this is a temporary, huge for those people who are evacuated from the town of dave kind of far away from them. that's at the moment. this temper, ricky g center houses, at least 40 different people. thousands of civilians are safely evacuated from of

the, of the recently fried by russian scripts who are making fresh advances on the front line. and the southern territory of serious and russia, hosting official opening ceremony of the role and youth festival, a ground events that unites young people from all over the time, the live in the russian capital. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. to begin with breaking news from the southern russia shoot out, has erupt, it between law enforcement officers and the militant group accused of preparing to conduct a terrorist attacks or russian federal authorities say the suspects barricaded themselves inside a residential building. in the english city or region as the officers with fine right at the premises, thereby homes that were evacuated during the operation. the group was allegedly getting ready to conduct, quote, large scale crimes of

a terrorist nature. the high ranking german military officers had been caught red handed discussing plans to supply taurus, cruise missiles, to crane, and use them to destroy the crime in bridge that bombshell phone conversation was intercepted by russia and released by artes editor in chief on friday. russian foreign minister, a survey line for officer, has attention to the western rhetoric about the ongoing conflict. we were very simply with us. the facts that have come to light is the chancellor sholtes confrontation with one dispatch, some evil intentions of the windows, which became apparent due to the publication of all your recording simple how carefully they were preparing and attack on the crime in the breach and other targets especially the ammunition depots, and the main thing is how they wanted to see if everyone into thinking it's not on them, but on the americans and the british as they're already there. well, there's just screaming self disclosure. the situation clearly indicates the pro

work camp in europe is still very, very strong. if anyone has any doubts, there's been a lot of analytical materials over the last couple of months that seem to begin to realistic point systems and futility of continuing to co x. you create it into military action as well. and the lady statements by mccord in austin and the conversation of german generals. they all say that the pro war party does not want to change its course district physically to feed russia on the battlefield. we realized that germany seems to be still in the state of shaw ca, shocked, i guess so over the fact that their secret got out as soon as this came out. so they'll official comments, was no comments and then german price was all over it. and as we're about to see from some of the headlines and in german media, they are side things, several soldiers who are assuming the confirming that linked to the other confirming that it's itself and 6. and also what they did was there was $1.00 to $0.02 for ship according to during the media, because they started trying to book

a several accounts that were sharing that link, the audio and the link transcript on x, formerly twitter. so that's what happened on friday as soon as this lead came out, and there were also claiming that german counter intelligence supposedly right away wants to probe. and so this and now we finally have confirmation from the drum and chancellor that indeed they are looking at. and so it does start, but the fluid is being reported. there is a very serious matter, and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly. and the very latest way, i know all getting reports that apparently one of the main channels in germany is confirming the authenticity. all of that leaks all d o. and they are sites in germany's ministry of defense. so this is huge. they all started on friday when or to use that as friendship, margaret, to send one young post at 1st, the transcript. and then the audio ultimately conversation. the lead conversation was between 4 people. so that had all the germany's the air force, the branches,

the deputy chief of staff for operation as well as a to other military personnel. and it was a 38 minute conversation and image they are discussing the operational and targeting details of those tourist cruise themselves. that germany was supposed to sign ukraine. the west was as a mountain pressure on germany to send those missiles, but it hasn't done that yet. yet in this league conversation, these people are discussing that as a done deal, and they're not only discuss it. they're saying how they can use it, they're strategizing how they can use those missiles to attack russian infrastructure, primarily the bridge and crime. you the commission also who came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets the bridge in the east and the munition depos above the bridge and the east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the torres can do it. the ammunition depots can also be hit if we consider the

bridge, i don't think torres is enough and we need to have an idea of how it might work. and for that we need satellite data. i don't know if we can train the ukrainians for such a task in a short time and we are talking about a month what, what a tourist attack on the bridge look like from an operational perspective. i can't estimate how quickly the ukrainians will be able to learn how to plan such an action and how quickly integration will occur. but since we are talking about the bridge and military bases, i understand they want to get them as soon as possible. this conversation apparently so called place on the 19th of february, and then they later gone also to say that actually send in those missiles will not change the course of the war and ukraine. they admit themselves that it's only necessary to send these missiles because have the brits and the french have already signed so long arrangements also, germany must call forth as well so they must seem to be doing something we know

that you crane is losing and they know that by sending those missiles, it will not again, their words change the course of the war there. and they also emphasize, and this is what's interesting there, emphasizing the importance of covering off their tracks. and there's, and there is no way that they can have other german military being associated with the crime. but how is that going to do that? well, they say that the communications, all of them have to go through the manufacturer off of themselves on the tours. that sounds good. well, that's not the kind of us. yeah. hot. it doesn't matter. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us top of the conflict mind. i'm exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from poland, so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that. is it totally moreno? how those this then stack up against the law shows the state made about refusing to send those tours, missiles a to ukraine executive this,

this is what is bizarre because we know that germany's parliament, yes, it did approve additional military aids to ukraine. button knows when it comes to those forest cruise missiles and all the shows himself said that he was out sending them because he's afraid what ukrainians will do the with them that they might target loss go and then drew many will be considered party to, to the war with function, and that's something that they want to avoid. and in that statement all have solved said, what the british and french are doing, in terms of target control and the comp named target consult can not be done in germany. so why that he out of their presence in ukraine and that led to even the u . k. was statements there where they have to admit, yes, we do indeed have a small number of personal supporting the armed forces in, in ukraine. but that shows this comments are wrong, that they are irresponsible as a slap in the face all the allies. now again, in the slicks don't deal,

we have these german officers throw in someone else under the boss, this thomas on the bread. so it's not the price as the americans because they are revealed that they're also there know, monday. do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own? after all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. so it is quite possible that they will soon be able to use it themselves. after all, they have all the satellite images. so all of us talk about russia supposedly planning to attack, you are for your up to get ready, and now we have them covertly applied in the tax on a russian soil. it seems. so this just goes to show just how much nato is actually involved on the ground and you cry. we discuss this issue with officer and a war correspondent, thomas roper. he said, if germany would send it towards the missiles to ukraine, they might not make much of a difference any way on the battlefield. the question is,

how they will treat the narrative of the engine was quite interesting to watch of yesterday. the 1st and use from russia came about this about this leak came at the german times, have it in the morning and the drug and use of it. joe media, stockton reporting only at 9 o'clock in the evening. so 14 hours ahead. so they were really sitting there in crisis, a discussions what to do, what to do with that. so we will see how they, how they will treat this narrative assemble. i think this is the main question. we see the what do you call it? the price between dropping in front, so i have no germany work here. so in money gave more than any other european country and friends didn't get very much and no other friends much. one wants to say, hey, i'm also getting so much i'm so important. and even thinking about selling your soul, just so it's, it's a ping pong in between them. who is giving more, who's to blame if it doesn't work? and the, the decision to a sense of taurus of rockets, which would hom rush. of course, i mean, for the general say,

this will not make any decision in the end and the on the battlefield. so it won't be a political decision any way to have rushed out to be able to provoke russia, but not to change anything on the ground to dismiss that very openly. and it's clear that 50 rockets don't change anything. r t editor in chief, margarita simonian, was the 1st to reveal the contents of the link to audio recording. why don't you go to this audio recording speaks for itself. it's just after i publish the 1st text about it, there were a lot of skeptics and media outlets quoted me and wrote to me saying it couldn't be true, but it is 5 years. is the real audio full chapman minutes. he also says, referring to the german air force and discussing how to boom and rushes bridge to cry, man, and how many missed cells that will take 10 or 20 and how to do it so that no one is aware of anything. so that tells, so all of sholtes could continue to claim that he's most involved in the conflict. nato does not participate in the conflict and that it's not him. his backyard. they

also expose that breast of should american pot. and it's saying that we're already watching ukraine in general. there are lots of interesting things to be sure to listen. i wonder how the germans won't respond to it, stuck the bridge linking it, rushes mainland and they come in and then slowest construct. and 6 years ago, it's one of the longest bridges in europe stretching 19 kilometers and is vital for supplying goods. many western powers have been pushing a war mongering rhetoric. us is nato will have to fight against russia if you crane is defeated. but there are still rare voices among western leaders, such as from slovakia, advocating against sending troops or weapons to keep if the issue is very clear with the beginning of this crisis. and it says that jesus christ is no uh any military solution. that's why after 2 years be in the, in the crises and you kind of position these even more clear than before. the

weapons from the warehouse. so we worked for c studio. we stopped in out of pocket, which was something like 40 to you. great. because as i said, we don't want to see very clear that we will no not send any too because these escalates. meanwhile, the top priority for the new european union ambassador to the us as still more aid to ukraine. she says 0 if is looking for the white house to find a breakthrough and get congressional approval for

a currently installed at $60000000000.00 us aid package to k of i think everybody in europe is guessing really very impatient. the ukranian people are looking to hold your opinions and americans so they want to be with us and in our institutions . but what are those institutions are actually ready to meet in cabs? mounting aid requests is unclear with the economy facing a downturn over the past year and protests are wrapping all across the block with farmers seeking a ban on cheap imports from ukraine are to charlotte, isabel sheds light on how in you officials have continued to sacrifice their own citizens needs over their commitments to keep according to the former chief of the european central bank, the you need to invest and enormous amount of money in a relatively short time to deal with the deep challenges the blocks facing. we're living an extremely difficult times, an immediate action is needed to prevent even greater challenges in the near future . firstly, a commitment of 0.25 percent of g d p from each

e u member state to arm ukraine would be sufficient to ensure that it can win this war. but the 3 pillars, the e. u has relied on energy from russia, imports from china, and the us defense apparatus don't appear to be as solid as before. why? while the us for, i'd be you into the war and into a sanctioning russia which restricted their main energy source. and with the north stream pipeline explosion, it force fear up to buy expense of us produced energy gas and ask the union searches for more money for ukraine from under the couch. you commission to you 1st of all up under land has propose it's time to punish russia and confiscate their frozen assets to buy more weapons for cabs. it is time to start a conversation about using the windfall profits of frozen russian assets to jointly purchase military equipment for ukraine. there could be no stronger

symbol and no greater use for that money. then to make ukraine an arm of heroes, a safe place to live. it's the 1st time fonder land made such a proposal and it points to desperation. but even that won't be enough when the use already given the most aid for ukraine, which will need a whopping $3000000000.00 per month in for and financial assistance. this year. in 2023 ukraine's financial system was stable and the economy recovered faster than expected the balance the policy of the government of ukraine, together with the consistent support of international partners, played a decisive role in our achievements. it is important to maintain this trend in 2020, for the monthly need for external financing will reach about $3000000000.00. so well then provide the enormous sum for ukraine. europe. the problem is apparently,

europe has no money. it seems that you is willing to sacrifice many of its own citizens, needs to commit to providing more more funding to ukraine. the use economic growth forecasts went down by 0.9 percent this year from the expected 1.3 percent. economists are now projecting a growth rate of 0.8 percent, rather than the expected 1.2 percent. while it's out of the year, ozone is 20 members. states fell into recession over the past year and 2024 doesn't look promising either. as the german central bank says that the country which has traditionally been the use of largest economy has entered into a recession. some stress factors are likely to remain relevant in the 1st quarter of 2024 foreign industrial demand recently trended significantly downward. economic output is thus likely to once again decline slightly in the 1st quarter of 2020 for

the 2nd consecutive decline and economic output would put the german economy into a technical recession. and while the german cabinet and did revise an economic forecasts gross down to 0.2 percent well below its former numbers. yes, it all make crisis is clearly spreading across the entire e u. it's also reached the u. k. whose gdc shrank by 1.4 percent in the final 3 months of last year in its 2nd consecutive quarterly decline. the technical definition of a recession, france has also been tightening its budget as, as economic growth has stalled, cutting another 10000000000 euros in spending due to the drop and g d p. this will be a challenge from a con, as we previously relied on the government handouts to power reason. on rise. this past month, he gave $400000000.00 bureaus and concessions to stop farmer protests which included a threat to black. ok,

the national capital farmers have been protesting extensively all over the u, including in poland for they attempted to block out cheap, you premium imports. so the next time when the us floors you into another fight for democracy and offer to split the bill, make sure to have the funds for one day dime and it's on out to the front line where the russian deputy prime minister has visited the recently liberated at city of, of the come, the deputies says there will be opportunities to rebuild the city soon as russian ground forces advanced further. r t correspondence that remind customer have brings us these details from the refugee center, which is sheltering locals evacuated from the city. this is a temporary refuge for those people who were evacuated from the town of dave kind of far away from the nets at the moment. so this temporary refugee sensor houses at least 40 different people. they are administered. the 1st aid if needed. they're

fed and also the local authorities are doing everything they can. so that's v imaculi's can get they are russians documents as soon as possible. so which is what we were preparing, taking our stuff then the warned us when the car would arrive on february 27th. they brought us here were being screened when the military rides on the 17th. the 1st assault forces, we started coming out of the basements. they were sure there was no one here. everything around us was destroyed, was low and don't as i'm running, volunteers picked us up, brought us here immediately fed us and showed us where to sleep. i'm hoping i get my document sorted out quickly so that i can be a free citizen of the russian federation. i'm being considered for our job as a firefighter. the low tenant came and signed me up. after the a medical evaluation, i'll go and serve in the fire department in the town of dave k is less than 20 kilometers away from the net. so naturally, people have

a relative in both towns at the moment. so some of these refugees, as they've told me, haven't seen their loved ones for more than 4 years. i haven't seen them in 10 years right now. there's a perfect opportunity for them to finally get together. just 10 years of my life were taken. they hadn't showed up day of gut all since 2016. but when the special military operation began, ukrainian troops said that they wouldn't leave any stone in place. ukrainian soldiers were marauding, especially the as of soldiers and the right sector. they tortured people, they killed, but no traces were found. they haven't seen us as people since 2014 to 34. then you do, let me add to the progression associates of what i do, you know, remove that, set off with just

a few sessions. now i like, you know, of course above as fast as you do it is, i mean that's police's though it's just me a huge and simple to do this. uh no, you don't. the how does so the problems are crunched around the solution to the to papa mature along with the grid other than that people's republic authorities are expecting more evacuated persons to come to the temporary refugee centers across the republic. had the russian army is progressing as further to free up the territory of dpr. it's hard to imagine with all these evacuated persons have

been through over the last few years. nevertheless, at the moment they will be safe and full. get full with mister help. they need from local authorities from a call for a warranty. then ask you k, auction house has cancelled the sale of and if you will be in shield taken from the country by british soldiers in the 19th century, and that's after the art they are faced at pressure from the east african countries and government, the 19th century episode in shield a vital part of it to be as a cultural heritage was allegedly moved the editor in colonial times. british troops plundered numerous artifacts which found their way in a private collections and public museums in the u. k. says the shields we are parents at auction, the issue will be a national heritage restitution committee has stepped in condemning the sale of quotes and appropriate to ends in moral since the author of fact has been mostly acquired in a context of a punitive expedition to the c o t a in which these items were looted. the sale of

this item annual auction is inappropriate. we heard from history professor of a bio from the single fan heritage authority. he says, african states must work together to fight for the return of stolen artifacts. the children that was uh, auctioned to be auctioned in new castle by the understanding the guideline, the auction house, because it could have significance to the people in the government that should, it was looked at in uh uh, after you $1868.00 when the beat this expedition moved to the deal and uh, i talked with the deal can fall us at the 4th tons of market bella, which was, uh, the seat of, uh, the emperor to adjust the 2nd bodies in. so the british took a large number of heritage of the facts, some of them which are very imperative importance like this field. the british x

petition was not simply and expedition to flee some york in pre, please, and us around to, to take all objects to the objects of historical significance. so it's not as a 2nd lady got it in colonial. the objects is that to taken out of africa during the colonial period, uh they must be or the 5 digits of the only know of every i think a member of the unit sco shrouds a strongly advocate. the fact that the 9070 convention is uh, uh, mid, deliberately. so that the objects from the colonial period is that they're noted for not to be the 10th sofa. is that uh, felician best to be uh, amended so that it should include the period from the 6th to essentially what to.

so in august we have the staff to, to, to, to be taken out of africa. russia is currently hosting the raw the festival, to promote stronger bonds between young people from nations around the world. the events taking place in a resort town on the black sea is expected to gather together over $20000.00 participants for more than $100.00 countries. r t is bringing you special coverage of the festival throughout the week of the process and part of the event put and deliver to speech and honor of the festival. me emphasize the importance of young people deciding their own future a mattress that allows it to use the country has already organized such a large scale used photos 3 times. and each time they have confirmed that there are no borders or dividing lines for the younger generations. you will communicate with whomever you want, you will get the knowledge and experience you need. well,

this was shown by the hundreds of thousands of applications for participation in the festival that came to us from 190 countries. the only thing we regret is that we couldn't accept everyone. now, representatives of almost 300 different peoples have gathered in this arena. we in rush, i know very well what a well my such diversity is. what a powerful charge of positive development and mutual enrichment it possesses, we must unite to realize our dreams together, when to help each other make the lives of millions of people better to work together for the sake of future generations to fight poverty and terrorism. to preserve unique natural resources, cultural heritage, the beauty and diversity of the planet itself. in such a world, there is no place for racism pretty big that double standards or lies. and the people are free to speak their own language to follow the faith and traditions of their ancestors. now you are the young generation. you dream of what a safe and just world can should be. what it is up to you to create it for the

opening ceremony at the world youth festival has just come to a close. whereas you can see behind these thousands of people were in participation here watching this outstanding experience. really, i mean, at the beginning we saw the russian national anthem performed by a live orchestra and a live choir or something that's shortly gave most people in the auditorium that was almost packed to the brim, goosebumps, and then we saw the various performances that illustrated a lot of things about the younger generation around the world, living in a digitized age, their challenges that they have to struggle with, how they find loved, as well as different things connected to their accomplishments, the accomplishments, rather of the younger generation, specifically in russia. and we even saw a prerecorded address from the russian president vladimir putin who wished all of the participants the best of luck at the festival and said that there was no room in the world for a hatred for lives. and that diversity is

a pillar of strength in societies and the multi pull of world. so this was definitely a great beginning to the world news festival. and we're definitely sure to see a lot of exciting events in the coming days as a continuance. several police officers had been killed a mid escalating violence in the caribbean island nation of haiti. armed and gangs had been trying to topple the prime ministers administration and seize control of the country. we announced that all armed groups are going to act to get haitian prime minister, our real henry, to step down. we will use all strategies to achieve the school with our guns and with the haitian people, we will free the country. the violence and the gunfire broke out on the streets of hades capital. while the prime minister was visiting kenya, nairobi has offered to send 1000 of its police officers to the caribbean island to crack down on the gangs. haitian prime minister was supposed to save power to a new government last month, but refused to do so,

which has sparks civilian outrage. recently he agreed to hold general elections next year and he hastened say they can no longer tolerate the uncertainty of the situation. i find myself dragging my things through the street. the prime minister has to do so. you must give us a chance to live in peace. i'm 62 and i can take it any more. i'd like to take care of my family, but i can't do it any more. i can't even go home. i'm waiting on the street. so a situation is becoming catastrophic. i've been here since 1986 and it's never been like this. we're surrounded on all sides. it's upsetting. haiti is the most impoverished the nation in the western hemisphere. it has long suffered from gang violence, submit the economic and security. according to you and estimates 314000 people in the island nation are considered displaced. about 5 and a half 1000000 residents are in need of humanitarian assist.
