is the level this will be the can talk to of war the french president once again up to the anti with his hawkish rhetoric over ukraine. this time saying a ground operation against russia may be necessary. but the strong verdes about taking the flight to moscow comes as a 16 year old girl is killed and the latest ukrainian shilling approaches belgrade regions into the final stretch. it's the last day of voting and russians. presidential elections and the country decides as future r t is there every step of the way. so from one of us, it was a great way to join us for our special coverage here with our lovely studio and the heart of must go with a beautiful present in the back. just a special action coverage will continue here. went out to you and home and away the

elections, not just confined to the countries borders. russians around the world have been exercising their democratic right to the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching archie international, barely at a goes by right now without the french president seemingly keen to for more fuel on the fire when it comes to potential escalation over the war and ukraine in his latest interview. a manual micron now says a ground operation against russia may be necessary. so maybe at some point, it will be necessary to carry out operations locally in order to counter russian forces. frances might is in our ability to do so. we are ready to prepare for any scenario. it would be a mistake not to do so. these are very serious comments by a fresh president and not even my con, what's behind all of those who really knows. but well,

it's very dangerous when you have the president of a natal countries stating a potential direct conflict with vol showed that is literally the definition of an escalation here. but at the same time, it might just be old. poke because in one of his recent comments the 1st president make has made it quite unclear on where the situation stands present. don't like really. don't know. the president of the republic is responsible for national defense. he makes decisions for the safety of the french people, and i make the decision because after 2 years of war, we systematically did what we said we weren't going to do. 2 years ago, we said that we would never send tags the calls. we sent them when you only have 2 years ago, we said we would never send medium range missiles. so this is, that's what we did. and we said we would never send playing. and now some are doing it. we have set too many boundaries, so to speak, in our vocabulary, and then your best. we are not aggravating things either. we are not at war with russia east, and we just have to clearly understand that we must not allow russia to win on all

the other show. so what he's saying here is essentially doesn't really matter what western politicians say, because their comments don't align with their actions. the philosophy that they have here is we're not at war with russia, but we will keep on doing everything we can to make this conflict. even worse, so we don't know, maybe he's just trying to show that france is and it's for the long run. but then again, you know, given ukraine, all these empty promises is not really helping kids in any way shape or form. it's really concerning to hear my crohn say these things. has there been any reaction from moscow to this? no, not yet. but we, i previously hear from most goes on most of those views when it comes to my call statements. now the kremlin spokesperson to meet your best cop did state that friends is not against increasing the degree of its involvement in the conflict. then this is what we read mclaughlin statements. the fact that russia is an enemy

of france is obvious, because paris is already drawn into the war and ukraine, and is taking an indirect part in this war. and judging by the president statements, france is not averse to increasing the degree of its involvement. so it wilma is mac crohn alone in his assessment of the situation on the ground. he was but i suppose you're the rest of europe doesn't really want to be left out because you have your ukraine says 2nd biggest donor in the 1st biggest donor in europe. which is germany. now, germany is making a whole scenarios on how russia is planning to take over europe listed. listen, you can't, you know. so i tried to even talk every day ukraine defends the peace of pose boats, fins, romanians and norwegians. none of whom are located in the heart of europe like us, but whose countries bowed to directly on ukraine or russia. we haven't taken the concern seriously in germany before, that must not happen to us again. if payton is not stopped by the ukrainians in

eastern ukraine, the will will come right to our doorstep, baltic and polish friends. keep reminding us of this. a decrease in support would bring the will close to to us, and we must and want to prevent that together. now this also comes, i met a risk between german chancellor and his ministers on whether to send for us miss laws to ukraine or not. so the officials voted down another resolution which proposed to send these taurus missiles through crane and opposition party leaders. fear that the weapons may just make germany defacto, a part of the conflict. and on the wednesday, the chancellor once again ruled out sending these torres missiles to ukraine. the delivery also has been subject of heat is the big it in berlin and some german parliaments members, as well as the u. k, has been pressuring berlin to just do so. plus, we also have earlier this month and intercepted audio of the show in german defense officials discussing multiple targets in russia to strike. and

i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the bridge. and the east is hard to reach, it's a rather small target, but the tourist can do it. the ammunition depots can also be hit. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us top of the conflict. might 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. on 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. now if you're up continues in this route, instead of just negotiating, there is a very high chance that this conflict will escalate, not only to in ukraine and become even worse, but it may even go even further than the borders of your crane. the leader of the

french patriots party. florian philippe. oh, believes in the crowd, only use such hawkish language to conceal his lack of actual power. and we use it to the state office. good. when mcgraw on says, france is a power of these, that's the only time he says the would be. what struck me and i'm, i know i'm a grown speech, was precisely the absence of the would be the absence of the word negotiations, which does not appear at all. but on the contrary, a continuation of a kind of dramatize zation. he used to exist as a fright, defronzo in relation to the ukraine conflict. there is no is essential thread in this case. so he uses dangerous woods, explosive woods and he doesn't tell the truth. if we are under an exist angel for it. we have the right to use nuclear weapons. mccomb wants to show off his small muscles as he doesn't have many uses words that he can handle. the j. mccomb has

spoken a lot because he wants to try to compensate for he's like a fellow at another time. he lied a lot was when he said he did everything, he could to prevent it and keep the peace. he mentioned the means agreements. you said as friends in germany had done everything to ensure that these agreements were respected, it is not true on the country, but as the front salon wasn't valid time german chancellor angela medicaid said last year that they did not implemented denise agreements when they should have as the french military have seen 40 percent of french and tillery already go to ukraine, what they think they think it's crazy for our own safety. so in fact, we have already done a lot. and ma, chrome wants to do even more using weapons and money, which we don't have any way because we are, he's in debt and out on the has already been reduced to 0. i've seen that in french public opinion. they will not forget about macro and said, because the french of fed up if the train is beaten on the battlefield.

analysts increasingly believe it won't just be a defeat for here. but also a strategic failure for the west, from us with production to blow back will be years and the costs time. you can read all about that and so much more on our website, r t dot com. the meanwhile, a 16 year old girl has been killed after the russian city of elder on once again came under ukrainian. it's showing a man was also left injured or to produce or magnetic retired reports from the scene. another attack, this happened just this morning. 16 here. 60 year old girl was born to life in her house and her father. he's wanted, he's in the hospital right now. he has concussions. that eric huge from ukrainian em. allow us to insure house you to print in the middle for intelligence books. this keeps saying that the target only note for targets will you can see one of

these mail for it's on its way behind my back. actually a tax on the region intensive for an inquiry plate. and a lot of these usually ad defense intercepts for most of the targets, all of them in some cases bought. and that's not just a real, a tax community for in the military intelligence on trying to take some of the villages and towns line right on the border with ukraine. the russian ministry of defense told us that over there to explore adults and who would be repelled for it is the so the final day of fresh provincial elections and the people he and they'll go to college and i'm willing to go thing they want to share their, their concerns named believes they, when they actually want to choose the pass in their country, it will, we'll, we'll step for and they do believe that in such and such and such a background in the background of constance showing this is the most important things they can do they need to vote for the concept selling by your current in forces comes as russia is going to,

who are the other contenders and the rice? well, there is a lot of sob. devon cause he's from the up and coming new people party from our business man, he claims to be the young, fresh faced russia needs. he was the last of the 4 candidates, the cast as ballot earlier on sunday. next step, nikolai harton of the communist party. he's a parliamentary veteran who has been a familiar face and a lot of politics for more than 3 decades. on the key issue of your crime, he says there can be no more than little gestures. while he was, in fact the runner up when he lasted for president in 2004 this year he cast his vote at the moscow police station. encouraged those who still haven't done so to take part in deciding the country future. i encourage everyone who has not yet voted to do so today. the elections are taking place in difficult conditions, but as an old, difficult times. today, the multinational people of russia have coast validated in all parts of the country . people a willingly going to the polls. i have met with international observers from the c

s, and the c s t o from dunbar to the far east. they have no complaints about the conduct of the elections. this is yet another confirmation that our elections are going well. and finally, there is leon edit slips fate who leads the liberal democratic party and who has been in politics for 3 decades. more recently, he was also a member of the russian delegation at the assembled peace talks with ukraine in the spring of 2022. on saturday, he headed to a pulling station in moscow to cast his ballot. ortiz royce usually had a chance to talk to the presidential contender, sons the slips, the sanctions, and restrictions of which more than 18000 have been imposed by the west against russia to date have failed. and our national economy and social policy are strengthening the world politics of the new century can only be multi polar, were every arbitrarily small country, its people, history, culture, traditions,

religion. national language will become a separate decision making center in this multi polar, safe and stable world architecture of the 21st century, which is already being formed. it is today, it is in these years. and russia has become the center of gravity in the formation of this new world architecture. this new global majority. we all miss vladimir wolf, of which is you ever know of. the man who founded perhaps the most creative political party in modern russia. a man who really knew how to look into the future with the power of his intellect. a completely unique person during his lifetime, inscribed his name in golden letters in the history of russia. and this is recognized by his supporters and his opponents. i'm his successor, and i don't want to create some kind of p, r for myself on purpose. those who believe in the l dpr in our party. they know me

and my popularity has grown. but i feel uncomfortable saying this about myself. as far as your renewal escape is, holy name will always remain and not only with our party, it will remain as the name of the person who put forward strategic ideas for the development of russia. meanwhile, russians living abroad aren't excluded either or polling stations are open all around the world, including in former soviet republics and central asia and eastern europe. with kaz expands here to stay in and check medistat among those countries where russians have been able to vote. the people have been gathering outside russian embassies all around the world. from asia to europe, you can see long lines of russians in different locations and on different continents, waiting to have their se, calling stations will remain open until 8 pm local time. they've heard from voters in malaysia receiving the version of presidential election. so voice being a particularly significant day for me. and there's not being

a single day since 1990 that i've missed the voting in the elections. i believe that it is the own ruble and worthy duty of every citizen of russia at the federal level. so i know this is my 1st vote. the russian presidential election is a very important event for our country and even be in the malaysia. i think it is very important to take a civic stance and speak your mind. that's why i came here today and voted. i am very glad that the russian embassy and malaysia provides this opportunity side ocean long to not all the selections of very exciting. i am from crimea. we made our choice in spencer 14 and be a very happy that we are always together with russia. but not everything has gone smoothly. a man attempted to set fire to the russian embassy in the mail, dove and capitol by throwing a petrol bomb over the fence. he was quickly detained by police. no damage had was inflicted to the diplomatic building as well for the very latest

coverage of the presidential election to visit our website. our t. com on air and online. have you covered the need or has announced it's immediately ending all military cooperation with the united states. it comes as 2 days after and american delegation visited the west african nation for high level tasks. the governments of these, you have address, the will of the american delegation to do not the silver and the chevy and people's advice to choose the populace and the type of partnership that can help them truly fight terrorism. even though the united states of america has, you knew lots fairly decided to suspend all corporation between our 2 countries.

therefore, the governments of these yeah, strongly denounces the condescending attitude, accompanied by the tribes of reprisals on the cause of the household. the american delegation, the base of the government and the news you have and people, the american presence on the territory of the republic of nisha is illegal and violates all the constitutional and type of credit rules that would like the silver people in particular through select as representatives to be consulted for the installation of the forwarding on a, on the national territory. the declaration of course, comes off in 4th and use and data cation in boxes, under visits to see a few days ago. and the delegation mission was to do things in discussions by for the session and building on teams for us with the gym indeed is in the statements. the agents have goals as far as saying that the us officials, i'm buying and says digits. symmetric protocol. and did not notify anatomy about them being the ship, often engaged in states with a rival, even the agenda,

adding data. besides discuss the issues of regina changed to the say and minucci cooperation between the 2 countries that according to the venue reports that i've had to reset the think, the american delegation made by assistant secretary of state for american african baseball de monte fees was unable to lead to the hedge of off the minutes she machine, the juice. i also rejects the watch. it says, what are the gates because of a secret deal? i made it to museum 0, safety single russia and robs is low on that to po box. this is why the government's of these, you reject the false allegations from the house of the americans, negation which maintains the sides a secret agreements on uranium with these law make republic overall. this cynical approach usually used to discredits demon ice and justify the thrust. so gain states fails to recall the examples from the 2nd iraq war. indeed, new jerry and send the entire international community to still remember the false

evidence brandished by the american secretary of state before the security council to justify the american express on against the rock. about this case, the governments of president john john had been falsely accused of having supplies uranium too. therefore, it is in fact that even though the exportation of new sherry and uranium is public knowledge dates, so a space is about a 1000 something to choose the machine and it is adjourned based. we also know that the movies they have been tied to limited since the change of the coach can be you, is really going through that process the to, from the she was a get to them. i think it's called those tables that said right now, and the total of these is also to be that's what the who is present in the g as has a negative effect on the countries that you receive. we know that the tests have gone up to and that 60 to the u. s. began to operate to the vision. and if he's a fi for off and you said he does receive training from the minute you suggesting

that the american influence has done little color to speak to for democracy and indeed the chevy and that is that in fact, the has been reaction from the state of popular spokesperson of the united states, that we are aware of the statement from the cnsp in this year, which follows frank discussions at senior levels in the m a. this week about our concerns with the cnsp is trajectory. we are in touch with the cnsp and we'll provide further updates as warranted. so i'm not saying that the high deduct that they use will be willing to vacated space, even though the news, every investment could officially in after this be the money that's the div. what are the kinds of thing that's in the u. s. a whole need without any to else of a bottle of prisons. me that i've made it to none of the butler's america. i bought up results. i made a gun known to you last week. i'm falling pretty at least i'm it again,

i'll follow it. but it's up to them. i bought a new done. i bought the 1st you model can do this. it won't let me law new. jerry, hans, have welcome to the decision to end military cooperation with the us videos circulating online showing up was burning the american flag and saying the us needs to quit their country. all right, let's get more on this now from the executive secretary of the after tenant legacy forum was the abraham lincoln to have you on with us some big moves here from new share. it seems like a southern announcement. do you think american forces will simply pack up and ship out? oh, how the i think this would be one of the biggest problem because a military losses for the west in general. and americans in particular, in the whole of the continent. and what i would like you yours to realize the rate

show is that this is not a southern move by the new j a young government. there is a, a free chemist philosophy of liberation being established across the continent. that takes illustration from the liberation woman. so the fifty's and sixty's lead to bypasses the mom by julia as they're ready to come out of the naso later on, get duffy and della. and this has a major popular base. and the saw and region in which naija is the hot and 2011 and 12. i had left you the privilege of living in a goddess, the very city that now host the biggest military base american military base and the whole continent. i could see with my own eyes, how people with your us even before the establishment of the military base, with the a presence of the french soldiers, american c. and the,

what the government of new jettas do of naser is doing that is just the responding positively to the puppy, the feelings of the people of the country who the mind that the country finally in 2024 become truly independent, truly sovereign. and that it controls its natural resources. uranium economy not to be under the some. a name of, of frowns on the, on the states. yeah, this is, this is more than $100000000.00 drone bass for talking about here. how is that likely to affect americans so called foreign policy and the region? this is one is the jokes. the west plays in africa, so the west arms on funds tighter as the groups around the continents. it's very well documented that for example, in 2011, specially the west funded on so many militant islam is the rules and

libya, ag media. and even egypt, reviving them actually with the highest acknowledges. and then these are use, of course, read all around the so i had reason from this i how to reason. and then they established this very expensive $100000000.00 base in the city. i got this in the north of the country over the age of nicer to come, but these very groups that they armed unfunded in the 1st place with their own admission in 2011. it's an old game that they played, introduced chaos appropriate on my crisis into a political geographic context and then claim that they are the books or the dispositions to deal with this disease. i, i think what the government denies that it's doing is very crucial. and i think it's a part of a big image in africa and the effects wouldn't be huge everywhere. okay,

over but short on time, so unfortunately we're gonna have to leave at then with the abraham executive secretary of the african legacy form. thank you so much. thank you, it's just all right, and that's it for me for now, but do stay with us. my colleague very shay is up next by the the, [000:00:00;00] the, the welcome to world to pride. what's along go mixing culture or sports with politics? what's considered bad taste nowadays?
