of the us house of representatives of prison, $95000000000.00 aid package to israel, taiwan, and duke frank with the latter getting $60000000000.00 the more than half of house republicans opposed to move. they say the us cannot afford is rarely folder is subject innocent civilians to torture and sexual abuse. that's according to the latest report of the un refugee agency for palestine that released some harrowing testimonies of survivors. and that day 3 of general elections in india that will be held for the next 6 weeks. we bring you our special and then election coverage of people across the country test there from the

you are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. the white house of representatives has appeared, spending in excess of $60000000000.00 to keep the ukraine conflict going, notably, however, most republican congress members voted against a bill which had been deadlocked on capitol hill and its previous iteration for months versus foreign ministry spokesman. that slammed the motion, saying it, and other past bills will only fuel more unnecessary violence around of the world. in the us allocation of motor a to ukraine is rolling, tie, one will aggravate global crisis mailed for a to the key of regime is a direct sponsorship of terrorist activities. males for a to tie one is the name to syrians in china's into another says no to a to israel is a direct path to an unprecedented escalation in the region. so the us house of representatives after months of gridlock has finally passed the

a deal to ukraine. 61 b. ready in dollars now all amendments and there were some rather creative amendments that were proposed. all the amendments to the bill were rejected and the bill passed now it's been passed with the intent to rebuild arsenals. there was $95000000000.00 in total that was given for $4.00 and $8.00 is they separated. the ukraine aid, the taiwan aid and the aid israel. mike johnson, who became the republican speaker of the house of representatives, had pledged, unlike his predecessor that he would not bring this bill up. you would not bring it to about. but he changed his mind. and i guess on the terms that this was alone, he was okay to go along with it not. busy democrats voted against the bill and, but the majority of republican congress members did. that's quite a divide when it came to grant. and there was a lot of outrage from, from republican members of congress. they felt that this was not in the united

states entry is now leading. the charge was marjorie taylor green, the representative of georgia, and she was seconded by many members of her party. rather intense speeches were given prior to the voting. you say the united states tax payer has already sent $113000000000.00 to ukraine. and a lot of that money is unaccounted for. you claim is not a member of nato. but the most important thing due here in washington dc, is all we have to spend. americans harder and tax dollars over to you, crane and keep the money going to continue to murder ukrainians. wipe out an entire generation of ukrainian men, 2 and a half years into this war. we still don't know what success looks like, is it crimea? is it all of the don't boss is a hold what you got. we don't know. we just can't afford it. this new spending $60000000000.00 is designated as emergency spending. mean it go, meaning it goes straight to our national debt. a national debt that grows every

single 2nd to the tune of $8000000000.00 every single day. and by the way, while i was speaking, we have added another $5500000.00 to the national debt. now the previous speaker of the house kevin mccarthy was ousted when he made what man described as a secret or back room deal to try and go forward with funding for ukraine. and now thomas massey and marjorie taylor green to outspoken republicans who opposed a due grand say they want the same thing to happen to mike johnson. say they say he was replaced that he replaced kevin mccarthy and was brought into office to oppose this kind of deal. he made this kind of deal and they want him, alice did. so we shall see what happens next. i'm concerned that the speakers gotta deal with the democrats of fun for mores rather than to secure a border. how did a bill that was intended for veterans that came out of the house become

a bill that may bring us to the brink of war, at least 3 places on the globe by sending a 100. ready dollars to military contractors, how have you creating officials reacted to the bill being passed. the ukrainian president has already responded in kind with great, thanks the personally bang speaker of the house, mike johnson for making the deal that he promised not to make. we had a message from zelinski that might have online, but let's also recall a statement made by the ukranian president a few days prior to what i but we suggest that this is not a secure leticia, then this is politics. and to be honest, it is a shameful, the world is just a shameful democracy for everyone who owns it, talks about democracy. well, if congress takes and divides the sites of tool that has happened into his rod and the credit and parts, and that means this is an election issue in the united states. now 23200000000 of the a will be used to restock ukrainian weaponry. 11.3000000000 of the aid will be provided

for the training of ukrainian troops by the united states. and $61000000000.00 in total has been allocated by the u. s congress to provide to ukraine to continue the conflict at this point. uh, there's a lot of anger on the republican side. there is a lot of anger on the democratic side that took so long and it appears american politics is much more polarized than it has been in quite some time. the very big disagreements about u. s. foreign policy and how american taxpayer money ought to be spent. many guys and civilians have been subjected to brutal abuse, allegedly including sexual violence and torture, a wall and is rarely military detention. that's according to a new report from the un refugee agency for palestine, which has released some harrowing testimonies of survivors. detainees reported ill

treatment during the different stages of the detention release. detainees included men and women, children, older persons, persons with disabilities, and the injured in sick, all of whom were subjected to similar forms of ill treatment. the message of ill treatment reported by dead chinese included physical beatings, threats of physical hum, insults and humiliation. such as being made to act like animals or getting your in a to don't use of loud music. a noise, deep provision of water, food, sleep, and toilets. denial of the right to pray and prolonged use of tightly locked 10 cups causing open wounds and friction injuries. the report says more than 1500, the detainees were documented as released through the cam, i believe. so i'm crossing point with israel. that includes $43.00 children and $84.00 women detained. he said, all the items were confiscated,

including documents and money, and generally not returned the head of the palestinian commission on prisoners and branded the situation catastrophic in the, in the crimes being committed by the occupation against our people are unprecedented. and so are the ones against our prisoners. we're dealing with a new version of the occupying state, whether it's new vision and strategies. this means that we're facing a new arrow struggled with this occupation. this state that is led by a group of terrors, fascist horror. not ashamed or afraid of anyone in their legislation, officers of crimes with in the form of killing destruction bombing, serve patient and siege, or what's the prisoner's face? inside the occupations presence of mind, they made me sit on something like a hot metal. so you're gonna have felt like fire have burns, the soldiers hit me with their shoes and my chest and use something like a metal stick that had a small nail in the side. they also still drink from the toilet and made the docs to attack us. there were people who were detained and killed, maybe 9 of them. one of them died after they put the electric stick off his

a and that's he got so sick with a warms coming out of his body. and then he died. the us, the soldiers displayed on me saying she's a, she's from gaza. they would bid and us as we moved and saying they would put 5 owners sensitive parts. they pulled us beat us. they took us into boss to the demon, present of to 5 base. and male soldiers took off or had jobs, and they pinched us and touched all bodies, including our breasts. we were blindfolded and we were feeling them touching us, pushing our hats to the bus. we started to squeeze together to try to protect ourselves from detection. they said they told the soldiers to take all their shoes and slept our faces with them. a hospital in the southern most guys and the city of profit is now trading palestinians released by the israeli defense forces. children are among those with a parent signs of torture. a group of 150. the tiny is returned to gaza on monday through the care. i'm so i'm crossing with israel. they've been speaking out about

the alleged abuse. they suffered at the hands of the idea on the inside the prison, my legs got infected. i asked to be hospitalized, but these realities were stalling. finally, my legs swelled up a lot and turned to blue. i underwent 2 surgeries to clean up my leg, but to no avail. at sheba medical center, they said my leg must be amputated because my life was in danger. i was treated very badly all the time. i spent 50 days there, but it felt like 50 years portfolio has these childs made to be shot out in prison and tortured what ford has. he made these unarmed, and he isn't a member of mazda or is i'm and you had, bells seen, and children were denied leaving their child suits. where are the human rights organizations? on our way to preexisting we were beaten and tortured inside the prison were also

taught shirts were not allowed to speak or move. otherwise they punished us by spraying us with gas or releasing dogs on us every 3 days they would release the dogs out of the prison. this beats us costly and randomly were leaving in hell. during the 50 days we spent in prison all the prisoners and wants it to be released, they wanted either to be does all release, but never to stay in prison. last phase, one of the indian general elections ends with the 68 percent. turn out the country is preparing for the next phase in less than a week. polls are being held in 7 stages over the next 6 weeks. we are bringing you our special coverage of the major event. the us. this year india has nearly 1000000000 eligible voters. that's more than 10

percent of the world's population. the election wraps up on june 1st with the results to be announced. 3 days later on friday building took place across 21 states of india. the large scale election requires more than a 1000000 of pulling booth sent over 15000000 workers to oversee it. all voting is taking place in many remote areas, so some pulling machines must be carried their own horses and even elephants, voters have indelible ink applied to their index fingers. a method used to avoid fraud. the world's most elevated pulling booth, is located as far up as 4650 meters in the himalayan mountains. well to main coalitions are competing for control of the countries parliament and prime ministers post. the national democratic alliance comprised of $38.00 parties, is led by the ruling brought to the edge and not to a party, an incumbent premier and around remoting. on the other side is the indian national development inclusive alliance, consisting of 26 opposition parties. that block is led by the indian national

congress party with the groups spearheaded by raw hold on d. r t correspondent runs and sharma spoke to former high commissioner of india to bangladesh of being a city. she said people in india look to the electoral processes in their country with pride and hope i can tell you the fact is that every number of those 1000000000 people, the view of this as a wonderful patient, they view it with pride that they are taking fox in their own democracy and they are deciding who's going to need them for the next 5 years. and um, it doesn't matter which part of india you're from which community, which region, it doesn't matter maybe which may be 12, but to the dispute range or more. the has fulton foreclosed over the years. he's only as spoken about a multi point. i was no, like i said, no, you can do moody. is a bible for fig. oh somebody love him. somebody not. what do you think that if he comes to 5 or 4 of tubs, consecutive to um, what do you think that's going to mean for the wall dynamics?

i think it really be a very strong v i. formation of is on vision for the country. that's number one and this vision is based on economic development is based on a set of lines uh, not getting pulled up in the supply chain. and it's based on the unity of the country. so i saw you, but it should be today that some of the costs developing for everybody, some vos trust, why everybody. i'm some company asked everybody must put in the effort to go together for what you've seen them to be the browser and the different media. you know, trying to see that to look what is this in the, at the computer is that confusing a steve installed in government and talking about objects, effects that think of democracy. mm hm. the based on the individual voice i use one day choice has the the last game, excuse me,

how much does it say the government does not have to look to see who's with the political support. then speaking, you want to come and get energy on this as such as to why use the, you know, long getting something by doing something wrong and dental use of this the most used to be to the trying to present as long as we do. but i can tell you that nobody in india is being flew by that me. the indian people do not any more depends on justin who was doing what the think about them said we have confidence. you know, one opinion of us is authentic. we don't have to look to rest, so you know, people who have what they want. agenda is franky. so we are closely watching the events unfolding and india, as hundreds of millions of citizens take to the polls to choose their next. leaders can always had to our website r t dot com for the full schedule of the election as well as more details and

analysis of the ongoing from ron's retaliatory strike on israel left in most states in different. but despite the fact that retaliation did not cause any civilian casualties, unlike the as rarely strike on a runs consulate earlier, several countries quickly condemned ron's actions, including the british prime minister. we have condemned their ons, reckless and dangerous biologists. ms solves against is right on site today and is wrong, absolutely has the right to self defense. but as i said, the problem is that nothing else you want. i spoke to them last week and more generally, significant escalation is not in anyone's interest. what we want to see is called as profile, across the region from within the british prime minister when it comes to around with how the ice we strikes, which cause no casualties. but when it comes to is all the attack on the writing and culture in damascus, and which 16 were killed, stony silence total and 5 hundreds of drugs that can be solved in response to the

attack on its diplomatic mission. with many side note on has the right to defend itself, turning the words of the west when it comes to israel, back against them. but just by giving free days notice of the impending attack, which the united states denies the collective west as lined up to condemn or on the attack on these really territory the wrong launched tonight is um, justifiable and highly irresponsible. canada unequivocally condemned. it runs airborne attacks against israel, and the iranian regime is disregard for peace and stability in the region. i condemn in the strongest terms the unprecedented attack launched by a round against israel, which threatens to destabilize the region. but the reaction from persons on elective foreign minister, nope, david cameron has led to charges of hypocrisy in an exchange with strong use or pull to kill you bully. the former prime minister described arrives attacks of reckless while conceding the prison would respond with strong action. and one of

his own contracts was attacked with britain j, the hostile nation, flattened one of the outcome. students. well, we would take, we would take the survey stroll actually and around would say that that's what that is. but what made it, as i said, was a massive attack. so right to respond. but the reaction is what we have. so what i'm saying now, how does the attack the attacks they carried i, it was on a very large scale, much bigger than the people excited to respond. what countries have a right to respond when they feel they've suffered an aggression of course they do, but look at the scanner that responds, had those weapons not been shown that on, but the next one ran, they could have been sizes of casualties including civilian. gosh, he even went to israel to express his sort of diamonds. he with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the situation is very concerning. it's right to show solidarity with israel. it's right to have made of use clear about what should happen next.

but it's clear these rate is all, may see a decision to act, we hope they do. so the ways it does as little to escalate this as possible. and in a way that, as i said yesterday is, is small off is whether it's tough concern. he may be what he says as well as actions, the escalating tensions in the region. in fact, up until now around his showed great restraint, despite it as well as oscillating nuclear scientists inside the country, allegedly eating the us and it targets it kidding, which at no cost, i'm sitting them on a warranty. drunk strikes, some faces in the code. this time region of iraq. i'm frequent attacks again, so right in force in syria. by contrast, britain himself has responded harshly, often without justification or explanation. the country going strikes to get the who sees in yemen, in response to the goods actions guys ships in the red sea, which they said was because of the is radio and salting gulls. a person also bought washington in february, when the 85 targets were struck,

which the u. s. claimed when linked to the revolution, the gold coal designated a foreign terrorist organization in 2019 the white house claimed it was a strong, it's to an attacker to us base on the board would say, reward jordan tending 3 soldiers which it blamed on iran and brisson was happy to agree the you can't and you, as i'll set foster lice when comment on that to ations. but we support the right to respond to attacks who have long condemned to rhonda stabilizing activities throughout the region, including its political, financial, and nature. support a number of notes in groups or some type of procedures. nothing new. back in 2018, 8, north dakota nighted, it strikes the guide syria, claiming without the evidence. it was necessary to further prevent the use of chemical weapons in the country. the need your response, which is what is the escalated tensions in the region. so then prime minister to reason my full suggest if i have options in the house of commons,

deny us pressure. so we have not done this because president trump asked us to do so. we have done that because we believed it was the right thing to do. and we all know, washington has received a pump. it support because the, as well as it filed to speak counts as well, striking the writing the an embassy in damascus, or taking a very different approach to it could, it was re, some action, i guess, the mexican embassy. you're pretty quick into, you know, condemning the, you know, the invasion, the mexican embassy in, in an act. that was a very clear, well established m. c. all very uh there was a really what this is something that is taking a little bit more time when you guys are in that incident. a desktop, a question for britain. i'm washington. i able to strike it will without any consequences. well as well. has the right to defend itself to any cost, but for a rob, it's a case of do as i say, not as i do. united for peace,

those were the words that former us president bill clinton, that marks the beginning of nato's bombing campaign in the former yugoslavia. 25 years ago. the alliance rains down tens of thousands of bombs and missiles killing hundreds of civilians and was carried out into the yugoslav. army withdrew from coast of of what follows is our special coverage of those events and the mark they left on history and on the lives of locals. the we have to protect thousands of innocent people to diffuse a powder keg at the heart of bureau to stand united with our allies for future generations. never to see those in europe. again, the

data is bombing efforts weren't only limited to military targets. on april 19th, 1999 large explosions were heard at dawn in belgrade as airstrikes it petroleum refineries and the chemical plants, government, buildings, and other civilian infrastructure across the country were also attacked. nato officials subsequently defended the blocks devastating assault and also blames the downfall of european security on russia. was more on the legacy left behind. here's our to charlotte davinsky in belgrade of nature's aggression against what was then you could solve your more significant turning point in world history. the so called rules faced international old was smashed with the alliance, engaging in military force with that the approval of the un security council. now

that action still has run this occasions to this very day. this was the 1st time ne, to completely violate his own free to that 3 to is a copy on the un charter adage point 5. so you can find that if one of the members are attack the others, when you call, it has nothing to do in yugoslavia, it has nothing to do in your price. it has nothing to do in your rack or anywhere else. an organization that what time do you 5 years operate expect gains its own 32 should be investigated. what happened in the lead to 1999 has many power allows with the crating conflict now. and while the west states washer is attacking the cold principles of the you and show it to us, a war, the president put an openly declared from the outset is named at erasing ukraine from the map is a sovereign country. the way ignores the fact that as part of nato it has

repeatedly done this itself. the best example of what is, of course ukraine, because when one nato tells the world, oh we're just helping ukraine defend itself. young sheldon, but the nato secretary general has admitted that nato has been in ukraine actively involved in ukraine bombings, training, ukrainian forces since 2014 nathan knew exactly what he was doing. this was an academic course. okay. in the former yugoslavia, nato is accused of committing crimes. you're going to be so this yeah, maybe mold and free. yes. yes. they keep telling us that it was justified that they had to bomb us for us like but then in the next sentence says they tell us that they sorry for some bland as nice as son. yes. and other children killed a nato bombing in 1999. the one they tried to tell us is no, we're not sorry, because we've done our job ripping apart. so the nato has consistently rejected

those claims and rushing into office necessary. oh collateral damage yet at the same time, it accuses russia, mortality. preston, tutoring is failing in ukraine. and he just responding with more brutality waves of deliberate me. so attacks on see this and the civilian infrastructure. there are other power levels to the intervention of nature and you can solve it resulted in a demand for parts of the country. costs are going to be recognized as a sold for an state lands asinique, albanians. and so they say, so it'd be, has refused to k, even recognize the break away region, despite the constant pressure from nato allies. at the same time, these allies consistently have denied cools by academic russians in don't boss and quite me to determine that own feature. well, you know, it's essentially when you use something helps creating

a bunch of independent states that are likely to be in nato allies. nato is suddenly in favor of succession is a tax. um, so it'd be a bumps or the prize consul way through terrorism, co ocean bombing, a state essentially to give up a piece of territory, then it recognizes it. and then they turn around to the, the, the, the east of the, the, the residence hall, the dumbass. you have a way you much you've, you've already express, you'll will throw a referendum. you have to say in the states that you don't want to be a part of nature claim vixen convention in serbia. and before the item was there was only to keep the peace such fractions of resulting in decades of tensions in the balkans. the,

at this point, this nato allies have accused russia of shattering the peace in europe. it is clear that nato has not done enough. and what russia has done, the shots is the security architecture of europe. it's a pill to swallow, to recognize your work and falls into oh no, to them. a quarter of a century on me to is still refusing to do on the, not just in relation to its illegal campaign. and you can slow up here. but in the rock, i've done this on libya, how it enables the purpose of islamic state. and now how it piles ukraine high with arms. that is something seen by many, including the global side as being the problem, solid, even ski, reporting for all the info grades. so if you are exactly a quarter of

a century ago, nato forces began bombing belgrade for 78 days and nights to discover what that was like for the people who survived. that state was r t. as we continue our special coverage in the coming days. the, the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the welcome to was a part as present to make sure every mark more than a center in bo, everything is learned in comparison with the prospect of a full scale war between israel and iran. humanitarian does us think of something we seems like a crisis of a 2nd or perhaps even a 3rd order is the possibility of an interest state more in the middle east, likely have to deflect from the on going, left, suffering. and because i'm going to be a deliberate strategy to redirect the global spotlights out of the global purchase as to discuss it, i'm now and join bar over to see if
