on the, in the green lights, a law that gives citizenship to non muslim for nationals plane from a scan to stand by blood tests and pakistan raising concerns among muslim minorities a 4th us made abrams tank calls to the russian army. well, one of the mighty challenger tangs b u. k is gifted to ukraine, gets stuck in the mud during simple training exercises. and the whole fiasco is captured on camera by british media. and the tank is just sunk in, slit in and out there waiting for recovery day and as the gods and health system has been devastated by the war r t special project human shields documents, the story of a doctor forced to amputate is only says,

leg at home without anesthetic as idea of forces continued to show the surrounding area. the smell was unbearable. i kept bleeding at hand for 4 days. unfortunately, i had no other choice. could i get her to the hospital? obviously not because we've had been besieged for 15 days. the live in moscow on rachel ruble. you're watching archie international. we start in india where a new citizenship amendment will take effect as general elections looms. the indian minister of home affairs says the law would guarantee citizenship for non muslim religious groups who move from neighboring muslim majority states before december 31st in 2014, and the mo, the government today notified the citizenship amendment rules 2024. these rules

will now enable minorities, persecuted on religious grounds in pockets, don, bangladesh and afghanistan to acquire citizenship in our nation. with this notification, prime minister in the render, emoji has delivered on another commitment and realize the promise of the makers of our constitution to the hindus. seeks buddhist joins parties and christians living in those countries. so let's see. this is big considering it's coming to us before the general elections of india. any time this week, the deed for elections will be announced and remember the notification of the citizenship amendment at the was a boss or nothing. there will these be to be his political body in the manifesto, which was a boss of the 2019 manifesto and we, the citizens administered the range of all these political body has fulfilled its promise. now, what exactly is all the citizenship amendment act, and why is that contentious now back in 2019. the role was already boston right off

to the law. as fost. we saw the different parts of the country drew golfing to george's because the law was perceived to be and teamwork and gave you regarding this bill, i will say that it doesn't pose 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 adult through minted ballistics, due to non list clients. trump got a song focused on as well as bumped up each. so the citizenship, these people, they have to be in india before the 2014, in fact, december of 2014. and then they qualified to be given us citizenship in india. these could be anybody, these could be christian. james woods pays see. not knowing what the reason be in the government sees the vs coming from were slim majority comforting 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 act to be carried out. so is, 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 larger underlining factor. he'll be willing to consolidating thoughts for the bar fusion, the football team, the upcoming general elections. the russian president clinton has signed a new law allowing use of digital financial assets and international trade. the law permits the df. a's to be used as a form of payment for international transfers. challenging the west dominance of global payment superstructures such as swift are to contribute. our chris adams explains what the move will mean. all the major change it makes. it really allows the government institutions in russia and i, and russian companies to freely use other and alternative payment methods is always

conduct my transfers. as we, we know, a russia was cuts off, you know, 2 years ago from the global financial system. most impression banks have the inability to use uh, payment system such as swift or any other real payment method of moving money in and out of the country. now with this little policy, it means that other methods can be use such as crypto currencies, for example, which is what on a, a strong advocate of to move money instantly from one country to another. so it's quite significant really because it basically breaks down all of the barriers that the russian economy had to trade way in terms of payments. so how that was essentially is if we using alternative payment methods, such as crypto currencies, for example, or suffering bicycle in flight, the digital russian variable, for example. what that does is those systems are in a sense of black box to all the nations from seeing those transactions. for example, if we were to put to form a swift tron specified as to send you roubles or dollars using swift, it's very, very probable that the united states, for example,

would be able to see what does ice transaction flows to see, to wind paying, and who was being paid by me and that's what we've seen. a lot of these sanctions come into place on companies abroad that have been trading with rushing companies that will disappear. now if these alternative digital financial assets all use these payments instead of the traditional payment for the the $20.00 days. and are you pull documentary film by you print in filmmaker one and oscar, but there is a twist. the photos of a pregnant woman, also known as pregnant from the radio pulmonary on of a shimmer sky i was exposed to as misleading. last year, r t correspondence div sweeney broke down the controversy for my colleague nicky. aaron, earlier, the time that you saw the glitz and glamour of hollywood as 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 matter, you pull. now again,

this has caused some degree of controversy because of the nature of the documentary that remind us that with, with a clip of the field, the show 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, if they'd cost some controversy, that was

a big round 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 bottomed up from the as the ukrainians on the ground was like the hostage war had, in fact being taken over by ukrainian soldiers some time before. now. marianna, herself, overseas, she was at the center of this huge storm blowing up uh, across the west of media, across social media and telecom channels and the like. and she searched the interview that she'd given to associated press at the time. and she found that they haven't actually included her statement, they didn't created a lot of this 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, listen to what you actually said. you were josh to win. and so 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 there, right. i said no one heard the rate. 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 i think that we're very selective with statements that i know you've spent a lot of time working in mario, paul, what were your takeaways uh, doing those on that? 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 face just a few weeks ago. and i spoke to russian soldiers 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 no 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 they say russia as the people that liberated them, but what they will most of who is the truth. and that's set up ready of the city being used, the point being ignored, but their city being used as wisdom propaganda. who has cross live now to political analyst maker and screenwriter sean stone. for more sean, what are your thoughts on 20 days in myra? you for winning an oscar in the documentary category, despite some footage being proved as misleading, i would have thought that that would just qualify it as

a documentary and possible oscar winner. well, remember it's the oscars. it's for entertainment. it's. um there is, there is no, there is no necessarily sound like a journalist where, you know, hey say a journalism award. where if, if a journalist has proven to have something fake, they would probably take the award away. this is purely an entertainment category. and so it doesn't surprise me that they would go ahead and give the oscar in the same way that uh, for example, you could see movies like inconvenient truth come to mind and reset memory of al gore sort of propaganda found with that global warming. i think many of many of the points in that film or inaccurate, if not the false and later prove false by his predictions that he made. and so, you know, you can say the same thing. why you know why that knowledge of that. when an oscar, someone could have taken it away from him, it was proof. and does he think? you know, it last year is oscar winner for best documentary was

a film about it like seen of on. and that was again, this year brought to the adobe feeder at the ceremony. and parts of it were shown. i will watch the oscars in a while, but is it common practice to reference previous winners or do you think that's the there was a message trying to be sent here? well, i mean, it is both. i mean, i would say that on, on one hand, the oscars do tend to be installed, jake and um they, you know, they oftentimes will bring back winters of the previous year to present awards and that sort of thing. so, so it's difficult to say definitively on the other hand, as we known about in the past the way recently, i guess, in the past month or so. so that alone would have been an end because to want to reference that documentary and that, you know, speaking of another documentary that is propagandistic to my, you know, i think do it to a certain level of billing to disclose. for example, the amount of western intelligence influence on deval knee and how much was it,

you know, how much of the his agenda really was not just purely from altruistic motives . ukrainian tv channel has come under scrutiny for airing, an edited version of the oscar ceremony, where they actually emitted the ukranian until makers when, what are your thoughts on that? could that segment have been cut out because of this contested for? don't you think? i really don't know what that what would motivate that other then as you said, you know because it's big because of the deception i. um i, i'm personally i really don't know what to say on that front. i don't, i don't have a particular opinion as to what happened. okay, fair enough. in an interview to the associated press, mariana, a pregnant woman who was featured in the film, said there was no error strike by russian forces. why do you think that part in particular, of her interview was cut out? oh, clearly, i mean, we've seen those, i think on the number of the so called the massacres,

that were attributed to russia. and it's not just one instance, but, and this whole slew of instances that have been talked about over the years where the european press for example, you know, says jo, russia just bomb this hospital or you name it or this, you know, this building and then it turns out actually it was a rush at all and you know, you could tell them to make of the, the weapons that were use that it was actually a sort of being a western made missiles and rockets and things like this. um, going back to we've been one of the, the crises of the border over poland that fire call. when, you know, it was, remember, it was accused, the russian was, was launching into poland and then they realized, oh no, it wasn't rush. it was, you create this, this is just part of the, the propaganda of the war machine. i know the oscar as in many ways have always been a bit politicized. i still have always been some of the criticism surrounding them because the actors get on stage and they have this huge global audience. instead of they want to make a political statement, does it? but does it seem like the ceremony is becoming more politicized in recent years?

to a good, i mean, i would like to say that it's gotten more politicized. i've interviewed it to be honest. i think my father may have been part of the trend, but the same time, not just him it's. i think it's been a long time, but that given back when he won his oscar for midnight express in the late seventy's, he was talking to basically using his platform as a screenwriter, winning an oscar to talk about the need for, for, for reform and present or form and things like this and that like why is you know, what he one is the director of the, i think he was speaking against the militarism. i mean he's on this many times seeking about us militarism. but it's not just him. i mean, you look at it when, when the brand a one is oscar, he sent a native american woman or a little bit as part of the american to go represent the native american cause. and that's created this huge stir. and go back to the 1st documentary films, they were actually propaganda movies. the battle of midway to really towards series that was done by the us, basically the, the office of war made these documentaries to promote the, you know,

the war effort in the, you know, so that, that was all the beginning and a sense of the best documentary category of the oscars was or propaganda purposes. mm hm. all right. well what their political analysts, filmmaker and the spring right are sandstone. john, thank you. well, the russian defense ministry confirms are for us it, us made abrams tank has been destroyed on the front line of don bass. images are circulating online of the charred remains of the american made machine reports such as the tank was destroyed in the fight for one of the villages of the don't ask region. the russian defense minister also confirmed other western supplied munitions have been taken out in the course of finding a new crane, including a check, made vampire combat the vehicle ends at 2 french made it cesar, a self propelled artillery units. well, the last military might seems to be suffering one failure after another. here is a british made a challenge or tank of stuck in the mud while performing

a simple training exercise. the, the exercise we're seeing, the main problem with the challenges facing the kids start getting them on the i see one of the messages to the credit and to increase a given a sense we go is that was this challenge is full admittedly precise. actually they've had real problems with it. he and 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 valley of the tank is on

the mud. we're trying to cross a small, big tree to you in a few meters wide, but it's clearly very wet. very. so he and the tank is just sunk in, slit in. and now they're waiting for recovery. they go. all right, let's cross now to radio talk show host, and the protocol analyst a garland nixon. garland, what do you think of these reports of american weapon systems being destroyed and, and how that affects the reputation of american manufacturers and potential future sales? well, it certainly has a negative effect on the, the, the view of the american made war materiel around the world. people get a chance to see it operate in a and then in the real military environment. and it hasn't been doing, it hasn't been doing very well. there are a number of factors involved. but certainly this is going to have a negative effect on the way people view the ability to use us weapons in

a real battle. sit a situation. why do you think washington keeps sending such costly equipment to ukraine? if those weapon systems are being destroyed so quickly, it seems like a it should at least last a little bit longer, as well as there is another. there is another factor that has to come in, and that is that the united states and its allies will use that term. i prefer vassals or colonies, are sending their worst garbage to the unloading trash basically on ukraine. they do not value the lives of the ukrainian soldiers. i think they clearly also recognize that russia has such great technological advantages and advantages in aerospace that whatever they send, they know what's going to be destroyed. it's going to be their of a temporary nature. so they're sending them the worst equipment they have. if they send them the best, it will be destroyed. none the less because rushes ability to locate these things. if you can locate hardware, i don't care how good it is. if you, if, if,

if i can locate it on the battlefield, they can quite easily destroy it with precision weapons. and so i think the, the u. s. military and its allies are just sending their garbage over there. so they can say that they said weapons, their understanding that it's paid is, is, is, is sealed, and that these weapons are due before they ever touch the battlefield. is that something the west should be concerned about though the russian defense ministry reports that another us made abrams tank was spotted and eliminated in new crane. i mean, that, does this give any kind of indication about western arms ability to stand against the russian army? yes, well, they should be a concern for a number of reasons and not the least being this if you are a and if you, if you are military concepts are imperialist in foundation, then you can't play it. you can't build a tanks, you can't build your material for a specific specific environment. you have to build your tank so that they can

operate in any number of places, but not really good in any single place. so the disadvantage that they will always have is that russia's military is of a defensive nature. so russia can build its military machines to operate in the environment in and around russia. whereas the us are britain there in the middle east there in the south america there wherever. so they cannot match russia with um, with their, with their war machines because it has to be something that can operate in lots of different places. and as soon as you get the, i believe it's called the rest of the season where there's mode, etc. these uh, basically these tanks and things become just a coffin for the soldiers that are in it. who face certain do. yeah. speaking of which there's video of a british challenge or tank, getting stuck on a money road. a new crane are these high tech machines, the game changer they were made out to be as well. but it is certainly appeared

that way when they were fighting less or compet petition. so the us and, and it's, and it's, the colonies are accustomed to going to afghanistan and are going to parts of the world where there was no, they didn't face technologically advanced opponents. they didn't to the base peer opponents where they had complete and total air dominance in air supremacy. so realistically they could use these types of things without facing any very significant choir. well, now that they put them in a situation where there is a very powerful incompetent in inmates, it's showing that they are fine. if you're fighting against olive rovers in afghanistan, they'll probably hold up if you go against the russian military, you go against the chinese military, etc. they're going to be vaporized pretty quickly. is there any kind of weapon rate that you're aware of that is currently being supplied to crime that actually could change the tide in kim's favor? you know, because of this,

that was never any possibility that ukraine was going to win. i mean, it's weight simply, i can count ross is 26 and a half times bigger than ukraine. it has probably $56.00 times the or the, the population, not to mention this. you know, i have my brother was in fact a retired military. he was a tank operator, he was a military man and we often talked about this and i read a great book called people's war, people's army by the buyer, general bm. from from the bottom line, the russians are defending their own way. you're going to have a ton, a difficult time defeating people who are defending their home and their wives, their mothers, their children are behind them. and from their perspective, if the empire is able to conquer them in ukraine, then their families and their land will be taken could be torn apart, could be given away to various countries. and they're not going to stand for that. so the russian people, the russian soldiers have a motivation that will not be conquered. right, well,

they put their guidelines next and radio talk show host and medical analysts. darling, thank you. thank you. so dogs and health care system is in tatters as 5 months of. busy or have devastated most of its hospitals. i met a critical shortage of age. many wounded palestinians are forced to undergo operations under hazardous conditions, sometimes even without an aesthetic look at the cost of the middle east conflict next, as chronicled in r t is a special project, human shields the we are calling the civilians to leave the guys that goes out, some us wants to keep them. there is a human shield. this is innocent. civilians are going to be hard to sign on. i see all the civilians and 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 just is, what soon have we committed? i am working on a kitchen table without anesthetic cutting off a 17 year old girls like. where is the mercy? god have mercy on us, the

god. 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 nice all the time. it was huge. so i told my sister to go to the living room while i placed the cottons so that the tank was in fire tests. i went to set on the couch and i was hit fast. i didn't feel anything. suddenly, everything around me turned 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 got me to my house and put me down on the table, which already had died. when as we had been baking, they removed the dial and put me on it. and as 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 light seemed to shut it directly to check my medical back. but there was nothing in it except a pair of scissors. and some guys, i know, and every surgery, the doctor asked the nurses to prepare everything. but 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. the one you used to fix, torn close the total discuss if upchurch they kept the phone in my phone so he could see my old tree. the smell is unbearable. i kept bleeding out her full days. the pain was so strong, i was hallucinating off to full days. the time 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 pain. but she handled something, no human can handle, having an amputation with no anesthetic, the, the, the, the sides, every day a palestinian doctor cries because he can help patients,

but lacks the resources every day we perform amputations, not because we want to, but because we lack the means to treat them. i mean, we're not the butchers, but we have no other choice. every day of house to me and doctor dies a little when he's in the hospital reception and sees a mother, a brother, a sister bringing a dead, or wounded person, and fighting for a hospital bed the . all right, that's going to do it for me for now, but to stay with us. my colleague peter scott, will be in next in about half an hour with a look at your day's top new stories by or the
