a dr. forced to amputate his own niece is leg at home without anesthetic as ideas. horses continue to show the surrounding area. what the smell is unbearable. i kept believing. i have full days and unfortunately i had no other choice. could i get her to the hospital? obviously, not because we had been besieged for 15 days. the . i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching r t international. we begin in india, where a new citizenship amendment will take effect as general elections loom in the administer of home affairs, as the law would guarantee citizenship for non muslim religious groups who move from neighboring muslim majority states before december. 31st in 2014 of the mo, the government today notified the citizenship amendment rules 2024. these rules

the law as fost. we so the different parts of the country drew coughing to products because the law was proceeds to be ad team was slim. regarding this bill, i will say that it doesn't post threat to any minority in india, especially our muslim brothers and sisters. so this particular law, what it intends to do is it intends to give citizenship to on, documented, below $6.00 to $10.00, normal brooklyn's from of got a song focus on as well as thumbs up each. so the citizenship, these people, they have to be in india before the 2014, in fact, december of 2014. and then they qualify to be given us citizenship in india. these could be in your, could you please could be christian, jan ortiz? see, not knowing what the reason be, the government sees the bill coming from was slim majority countries. now,

with this particular notification being announced by the home industry, that's the nor do a quarter to you really for rob this particular asked to be carried out in. well, it's very interesting now because in the run up to the general elections, it'll be interesting to see that kind of reactions we get the law to underlining factor. he'll be willing to consolidate him for the hard fusion, the football team, the upcoming general elections the 20 days. and are you pull documentary film by a ukrainian filmmaker won an oscar, but there is a twist. the footage of a pregnant woman, also known as pregnant from are you paul marianna. the shimmy of sky was exposed as misleading. last year or t correspondence, the sweeney broke down the controversy for my colleague nikki aaron, earlier on sunday. so the glitz and glamour of all the windows, the red carpet was rolled out for the stalls of the silver screen. but the least surprising perhaps victory of the night. busy as to the ukrainian document 320 days

in matthew pole. now again, this has caused some degree of controversy because of the nature of the documentary that remind us that with, with the clip of the field, the the, that we saw that the image of might be in a vision, most guy who is a emerging fullness but building a pregnant and she was bloody does as well. but she soon became the, the main, the main center of this kind of western propaganda over the over what really happened. this was the pump electric wyoming. we should say, all of the terms, the hospital number 5 on march, the 9th 2022 and she came out of the hospital. she said she was surrounded by a camera crew of photographers from associated press. and she'd like to gave him an

interview. now of course i stayed cool some controversy. there was a big around with the united nations security council, like what really happened in the hospital. russia insisted that the hospital was not the target, that it was not buttons from the as the ukrainians on the ground was like the hostage or had, in fact being taken over by you quite new soldiers sometime before. now marianna, herself, we oversee, she was at the center of this huge storm blowing off across the west of media across social media and telecom channel was on the rock and she searched the interview that she'd given to associated press at the time. and she found that they haven't actually included the statement, they didn't created the loss of the stuff that she had said, but they haven't included the statement. no, as far i could take a place and she said that she made this statement repeatedly over and over again. but if you want to, you'll get to the reality of what happened that it's just taken, listening to what you got. she said that you were just to when i saw the associated

press report has taken the photo, ask them not to do it because i didn't need it. and i didn't want it. i didn't give any consent for the photo and i didn't give any consent for the publication. so they published it on their own initiative. they also asked if there wasn't ever aid . i said that no one had the raid. apparently they didn't need that information and cut it out because everything except when it happened and that we were in the maternity hospital. so think that we're very selective with those statements that i know you've spent a lot of time working in mario, paul, what were your takeaways uh, doing those on the well, perhaps some surprisingly that the truth about what happened even in my view, police very different from the narrative that's being played out into the west in the west. i've been to the hospital in question, not being to all the maternity hospitals. i've interviewed some of the patients that are i've spoken to a lot of this off. and they were very clear on who it was that was a bullying and who it was that was finally got them and they said it was ukrainian forces. now i think it's of many of the places across the city. i was in the, as

a face to form as well, faced just a few weeks ago. and i spoke to russian soldiers that who said that, well actually the bottle in the city was incredibly famous, but the people that will hold up in the eyes will still still pump these for people that when they are not, sees that what west and bursaries of course and many of whom move now being youth in the west. that book book deals and they've been paraded across western media channels to be used as propaganda. but i've, again, i've spoken to many people across the city and they only have one message. the it was as of the, with the people that terrorized them for years and nice the russia as the people that liberated them. but what they will most of, oh is the truth. and that's set up ready of the city being used. the point being ignored that the city being used as western propaganda. the russian defense ministry confirms a 4th us made abrams tank has been destroyed on the battlefields. the images are circulating online of the charred remains of the american made machine or parts

suggest the tank was destroyed in the fight for one of the villages of the dentist region. the russian defense ministry also confirmed other western supplied munitions had been taken out in the course of finding a new crane and cutting a check made a vampire combat vehicle into french, made caesar's self propelled artillery units. the west military mines seems to be suffering. one failure after another here is a british main challenge or tank stuck in the mud wall, performing a simple training exercise. the exercise. we've seen the main problem with china just being it keeps getting stuck in number,

it's being one of the messages to the crating time cruise are given as soon as we go is the last big challenge. is formidably precise. actually they've had real problems with it in ukraine because of its lability and they just said it's too heavy. it's on the pallet and it keeps getting stuck. and you can see that's exactly what has happened here. the belly is the tank is on the mode. we try to cross a small bit trading in a few meters wide, but it's clearly very well, very sophie and the time because just sunk in, slit in and out there waiting for recovery. the meanwhile, i'm moving story has emerged about a ukrainian soldier who surrendered to a wounded russian serviceman and helped to save his life. the russian sold or shared his story with archie leslie. so left and went into the village of last. the

skin went high, kind of a shout came down on us and i was badly wounded. my comments and bottles went to help with an evacuation and hated me from the drones. later that same night, i heard foot steps and then came up. so i ask who he was, he says, don't shoot me, i'm on um. and without the vest, i offered him to surrender voluntarily. and he agreed that it would leave with him in these kindergarten for 3 days to fetch me water from a puddle and was given it to me. then i'll lock you ation came and we will remove the smell, and most of you credit indecent, co signed gloss named alexander. he was from ukraine's and you can live c t. all right, let's cost live to former us army reserve officers. scott bennett. scott, what are your thoughts on that video of the challenge or tank getting stuck in the might? a new crane is this machine, the game changer it was made out to be well, the game changer is actually turned out to be the geography of,

of the ukrainian russian area of done bass. and that entire, as you, you observed, of soil rich area that just uh is, is, is a very difficult terrain for tanks to navigate through. especially when the rains come in. because when it, when a tanks under side is essentially elevated, the tracks have nothing to grab traction. so i think this is a miscalculation, of course, that the russians knew this. they've, they've fought in this area for hundreds of years. while the british have been used to quite a different dynamic for the past 50, they've done nothing but make tanks for mary. go rounds and amusement parks and to stimulate their military industrial complex. so i think is a, a formidable weapon system. it's proving to be completely unreliable for the terrain and the other. the other factor to consider is the emotional psychological state of the soldiers of ukraine. because right now they are being torn in

a variety of directions. there are multiple vectors and multiple, multiple polarity pulling on their, on their, on their imagination. they're worrying about home. they're worrying about family. they're worrying about their government. they're worrying about will they returned to a phone will, will ukraine be dissolved? will germany in britain and france turn out to be exactly what they always suspected, germany, france, and in the britain to be a very, you know, fair weather friends. but when the weather turns bad, they're completely ignored. like the united states has done to all of its other allies and various other theaters. so the mental processes, the mental disintegration of the ukrainian soldier is amplifying is every day it goes by. there is no hope. there is no resurrected confidence. there is nothing but a slow spiraling, dissipate sion, of the morale of the focus of the combat capability of the ukrainian soldier. so

they really are on a trajectory towards a form of a mental breakdown and this is reflected, i think it will be quick and an amplified by there a technical breakdown of their weapon systems, including this tank that you identified isca. i understand what you say about russian russia being more familiar with this territory than britain would. but surely british officials would know that this type of tank would face difficulties on this terrain. i mean, this conflict is over 2 years old. i'm just wondering why britain would supply, i take like this to ukraine, given this knowledge that i'm sure they must have had as well. i think it comes down to their lack of seriousness. this is not an ex, essential fight or bad or war that britain was fighting because it was afraid the russians were going to come in and blood ever put and was going to set up his bedroom and the queens in the queen's castle. the british were never concerned about that. this has always been an extra curricular fight. this has been

a military industrial, complex opportunity to test their weapon systems to advise, you know, advance their political careers, to create a stance of a fear and panic in dread. in the population so that the politicians can maintain the state of control. so there has been less of an adherence or care about the technical dimensions of, of this combat and whether these weapon systems are going to function properly. that's never really been at the heart of the british german american, a french agenda. they have sought to deliver and pour off and get rid of their old weapons systems, make a lot of noise about democracy. but at the end of the day when the bell ring is any crane and its army are gone, britain and france and germany thinks that they've, they're just going to kind of clap their hands and say, okay,

let's go back home and the cranes what the ukrainians don't have a home, you know, to go to, uh, but the nato countries, you know, simply treat it as a, as a, as a game, as sad as that sounds. but that's why the stories of the russian soldier rescuing it or, or the ukraine. you sold your rescue in the russian soldier is very prophetic of what may be coming in a massive uh, turnaround with the ukranian military. uh, completely shifting sides and turning against uh the, the tyrannical cache masters like zelinski and the british puppets that have been the ones responsible for ruining the country are, are there any weapons being supplied to crime that could um, of a change in the situation on the battlefield, we also have f sixteens that are being supplied to train are the only weapons that would make a difference or russian weapons because they are the only ones reliable when i was in don bass, i was on russian tank. so i thought, and while i fired in the experienced russian weaponry, it's very tough it's,

it's very enduring. it's very simple. uh and it's, it's a mighty weapon system that, that i would say is far better, superior and prepared for the environments of extreme cold and extreme mud and extreme wetness, which defines ukraine, the of 16 planes that have been promised to ukraine. these are really going to go nowhere the only pilots. it will operate these f sixteens if they come into ukraine. our british nato, german france, american pilots. the premiums have no idea how to operate these planes. they've been going through a legend training. but the other thing to consider is, any plane that comes into the air space of ukraine will instantly be destroyed by russia. and if they dare and are stupid enough to fly over crimea, then they're rick risk getting a response that could involve russia taking out the bases from which these planes flew from in an amplification of, uh, you know, the poker game. so rush,

it could take out ram, seen it, could take out bases in poland. it could take out bases and in britain, if the british and the nato and the american and these, these fair weather warriors think that they're going to amplify and somehow bluff russia into subservience in surrender and a stalemate. i don't think that will happen, but i think if they raise the stakes, if they bring in a try and bring and f sixteens, you will see everyone destroyed overnight and you may even see the bases that were used to launch them and trip train the pilots also destroyed overnight, russia sees this is an ex, essential threat to with people and its culture and its future. and it's not going to risk of any sort of annihilation or uh, encroaching presence by the west. all right, well the with our former us army reserve officers, scott bennett, scott, thank you. that you as the is really offensive and as

a grinds on, the un agency for palestinian refugees, warns humanitarian conditions are reaching tragic proportions as hunger as spread all across the enclave. residence save the month of fasting for ramadan and comes amid the pain. never let him. i live with my family in this tent where we will observe the holy month of ramadan, by fasting and praying. but i made these declarations to make the children happy because they have seen enough horrors during this war. we were displaced in the middle of it all. today we welcome to her the month of ramadan with pain. i'm sorry . the children were denied the rituals, the strips of wood that families, including the meals. many children were killed or wounded. this is ramadan comes image, pain, suffering, and cruel conditions. we have no vision all hope, and the future is on such and we don't know how to feed all children on how we can

fost and they own this. neither water, no refreshments are available to silence for a 2nd. how can one received the month of ramadan while being displaced from home and living in a tent or yeah, this is the hardest ramadan for this nation. we used to celebrate ramadan in our homes where we had all we need. but now we live in displacement. i am displaced within my own country. this is what ramadan is like for us now. the muslim world begins the holy month of ramadan, as is really forces violently prevented worshippers, younger than 40, from entering the ox, a mosque in east jerusalem. the dramatic footage from the scene shows idea of troops and pushing back a crowd of muslims at the gate to the world renowned her home a number of women as well as young and older errands for seen being beaten with the tons as they attempted to enter authorities claim their working to ensure

a freedom of religion on providing security as requested by the netanyahu's government bringing the 2 communities close or that was san those of its objective as she ran for the jerusalem. the city council, despite her to feed, she's already made history by being the 1st palestinian woman to break a decades long election, white gods, and an exclusive interview with our to shed light on the reasons for her decision. and i show, hey again, if i became a candidate and courage error women especially in east jerusalem. so as our rights are significantly overlooked in many areas, a display. and there's an urgent desire for change. and i've been in jerusalem for 15 years. i'm originally from nazareth, during my time in jerusalem, i started studying at the hebrew university and lived in student housing of women after leaving student housing. i'd be down to understand what exactly is available in eastern just a little bit in terms of facilities and the leg 0 for residents. i was shocked and

so of course i lived in several areas in a so we can show a fox and they turn in the and so the regrettably, i couldn't continue reading an error of areas, but the thing is suitable for me due to a lack of basis, living conditions for any human being that the so i began researching more and more a lot of be coming from an educational background that was responsible for teaching the hebrew or developing computerized education and history. so getting the internet, the struggle continues us. there's no financing i in are supposed to receive certain funds and ministers of them the, it's unclear where they go and it allows you to calculate to solve that palestinians in east jerusalem live under dire conditions, including the infringement of their rides. the crew for apo but neighborhood is cut off from the rest of jerusalem. buying is rarely separation wall. tel aviv governs the area which is largely neglected by the jerusalem municipality likes

a police presence and basic services including schools, trash removal and the study water supply. sondra, so who gave us her insight into the problems palestinians have to deal with in this east jerusalem neighborhood. a bad name, smith thought of cullum am saw fault. the inequality between show of thoughts behind the wall and in front is astronomical about them. when i visited ca for a cobb, i was appalled by the conditions their legal buildings, profit for demolition large water tanks on the roofs, causing a risk to the lack of potable water. and when children are asked where they play, they have nowhere but the streets filled with cars. water is only available 2 days a week. and when it's cut off, we resort to using pumps and pay extra to get water. the source of which is on know, coming from an educational background, with no prior involvements in politics, i'm aiming to make a difference. even if it's just cleaning up the trash or improving st conditions

and getting our fair share and education. it was challenging to convince people that we deserve our rights and should demand, even if it's just about having cleaner streets or basic services. there's also a noticeable in the quality and job availability affecting various sectors and creating barriers for arabs and attaining higher positions from the issue of voting stations, being unevenly distributed, especially in places like coffer. a cub adds to the challenges we face. our absence in the municipal discussions is detrimental. we must be present either directly in the municipality or exerting pressure from outside to claim what is rightfully ours . the lack of potable water in areas like cough or a cub is a critical humanitarian issue that can lead to diseases and is a direct result of systemic neglect. let's not deceive ourselves. we're witnessing the gradual erosion of our rights and resources. it's crucial to be aware and

actively claim our place and rights within our city to ensure a better future for our children and ourselves. with great hope, we realize that if our awareness increases and we see that there are monopolizing the municipality in our funds, taking everything for themselves while we remain passive. it's time for us to also occupied the municipality. claim our rights and have everyone vote. that's the dream. but this requires significant awareness from our people. unfortunately, sometimes we only become aware or learn when we're subjected to very difficult situations. this is what genuinely worries me. i don't want it m r ben z or to them the call to prayer. and then for us to react to late, asking how we can reinstate it. we should be proactive and make demands to the municipality. now, because we know that's the only solution. what are we waiting for? do we need to wait for more conflicts?

death and suffering to occur before we take action. because in health care system is in tatters as 5 months of war have devastated most of its hospitals. i'm at a critical shortage of a many wounded palestinians are forced to undergo operations under hazardous conditions. sometimes even without anesthetic. we'll look at the cost of the middle east conflict next, as chronicled, and artists and special project and human shields. the we are calling the civilians to leave the guys that goes out. some us wants to keep them there as a human shield. this is innocent. civilians are going to be hard. i to sign on. i see all the civilians. i'm one of

the we were in our house when it was bombed. this is my niece. imagine i had to amputate her leg in our home. what in chest is, what soon have we committed? i am working on a kitchen table without an anesthetic cutting off of 17 year old girls. like where is the mercy? god have mercy on us. the . we weren't times the tanks were right. it's hard to steps. i went out to the 6

full to try to get a signal, so i could talk to my dad who has been away for 6 years. my sister a nice sort of time. it was huge. so i told my sister to go to the living room while i place the cottons so that the tank would fire to us. i went to set on the couch and i was hit fast. i didn't feel anything. suddenly everything around me, 10 white i full time instead, my mom left the shop telling me i had my cousins take me down. while he was going down the stairs, i saw that part of my leg was gone. unlike such was just hanging by my skin. they called me to my house and put me down on the table, which we already had doing it as we had been making. they remove the dial and put me on edge. i said let me pull it up. unfortunately, i had no other choice. there were just 2 options, either let the girl die as a martyr or trying to do something amputation of the leg was necessary. could i get her to the hospital? obviously,

not because we had been besieged for 15 days. the lights seem to show that the check my medical bag there was nothing in it except a pair of scissors and some scars. i know. and every surgery of the doctor asked the nurses to prepare everything for me. my nurses were my nephews. i looked around for a threat to tie the artery and i said, wait, i can't see properly. i didn't have my glasses with me. i told my nephews to look for a threat and tied the artery with an ordinary thread. it's the one you used to fix to includes the total because if up just they kept the phone in my phone so he could see my own tree. the smell was bearable. i kept bleeding for days, the pain was so strong, i was hallucinating off to full days, the times suddenly left the area. now let's say i gave myself 5 days to say that

i thought that would be the maximum limit for her to endure the. but she handled something, no human can handle, having an amputation with no anesthetic, the the, to the sides every day a palace to new dr cries because he can help patients relax the resources.
