contest as they make their voices heard about israel's participation. the st. p. i'm here in moscow, russia, and you're watching r t international. i am your host, donald corder. welcome to the program. our top story, at least 7 people have been killed and 20 wounded after ukrainian missile strike partially destroyed and apartment building in the russian city of belgrade surveillance camera footage captured the moment of the strike of the 10 story building and rescue teams are now racing against time and a bid to reach those still trapped under the buildings. revel of what you just saw. there was a critical fe, is known as a quote, quiet period where teams pause to listen for any signs of life. from within the

rubble rescue efforts were hampered earlier when another part of the building came crashing down. the 3 emergency workers were injured in the incident. 12 search efforts were also interrupted amid the threat of another ukrainian attack. prussian authorities have slammed this as an act of terrorism, and a video has put, been posted online, have a witness at the scene just moments before this attack took place. the difficult the emergency services are still trying to put out fires burning and the rubble so that those sit still trapped are not overcome by the smoke. however, there is some good news. at least one man has been successfully rescued. emergency

services had managed to keep them awake and talking for several hours. while efforts to free him were underway. special equipment was needed to break through the concrete wall of an adjacent apartments to reach him and he's not receiving medical treatment. and another man has also been pulled out his condition. as of now is unknown. those rescued from the scene of devastation had been taken to a nearby school and their being given health by the local authorities there. while scale says nato supplied weapons, including van pyre, missiles were used in the latest strikes on belgrade. russian foreign ministry also condemned the attack and said it added to the list of crimes by 2 you have and it's western beckers deter attack in belgrade. is another bloody link in a chain of crimes of the key flushing the targeted showing of innocent civilians, public infrastructure, residential buildings, hospitals, schools, and social facilities has become

a signature of the landscape criminal organization which is backed by western sponsors. earlier my colleague, veronica law, me discussed key ups tactics with our teeth shape, bose and italian war correspondent, andrea lucy, do? i said, no, they're terrible day for belgrade. i mean, i've spent a lot of time in the town. i have an affection for they know a lot of people there. i've met with the doctors who treated the victims of this uh, you know, essentially just a terrorism. but given the destruction the collapse of an entire apartment lock, it looks like there's a lot of people trapped on the robot i might expect. sadly, a jeff told to us several types of weapons use at punch to you, which are known. so you'd type of add this so i would really, which was use previously in chronic poor skin and attack against a billions again, which also killed in numerous amount of civilians. again, as you mentioned at the check vampire m l or s, which is a multi launch rockets system at low risk, which is a very inaccurate and

a dangerous weapon, which indiscriminately for these high explosive warheads into a rather niguel. i've seen those. i've got to remember on, at new year's eve last year at belgrade was attacked also with the same weapon. and i was on the ground and saw the damage that these things do. it's so indiscriminate . children were killed. 25 people died. and that attack alone, a 100 a very by the injured as the psychological impact of this, which is essentially terrorism, was absolutely no military infrastructure anywhere near the building destroyed today or in the previous attacks. wow. yeah, so there is quite a devastating, kindly building to my next little topic leasing. andre, a lot of these weapons being supplied by the western countries. it's clear, safe to see for everyone on the survey. it is all being attacked all being targeted, even hundreds of deaths. why are they not condemning this? even? this is a good question. i think me today in this effect, which so that's

a new canyon forces. are hate and civilians for a lot of time. like, like the tri state in both worlds. this weapon states on fire supplied by it shuts republic was use it against vance, against single buildings. and this weapon system is it's certainly not create. so i think in this moment the west needs to think if they want to continue to putting this weapon to pain after a little while, you can use this weapon against civilians. and why the west, the states been single that to the west a web on. so cannot to use it that gains sometimes. right? so this is important because maybe now there was need to think about which for all of want to play in this conflict, right? right. we're going to get to the 2nd under the show, you know, we, we need to hear

a lot about how russians been involved saying to the pharmacy region, many, many towns have been taken. uh, of course all done in a controlled way with the minute most civilians. is there some sort of retaliation do that because russia is doing so well, you know, bring peace and stability to those regions. yeah, well it's hard to see that it's not some sort of reaction. obviously you're right it's, it's not on usual to see these attacks. again, civilians are pretty and done. boston, that's which end to it would be very familiar with uh, on the ground and our colleagues, the sweeney. and many of our corresponds to see the 1st time effect of these metallic few strikes. it seems into civilian areas with no real rush in out on a military scale and interest in belgrade. and the support for the government has actually increased since these attacks began. and we heard about this when i was there, people absolutely support at the moscow government. and they've also suggested that

the, they've suggested to meet themselves that these attacks were, in essence revenge attacks. now, what's actually happening on the ground of course, is also interesting. in the last 2 days, you've had 9 villages now settlements some large, some small, you know, liberated by russian forces as a push across the border to create this bull for zone really. and you can see now the ration now if, if anything needed to demonstrate why the russian military de monday, from the people of belgrade and these regions being attacked. much like the people of dumbass who, or shell for 10 years. if anything demonstrates the need to push, you know, this artillery these west and split systems a way out of range of disability incentives. if anything demonstrates something like this, does it show, you know, i'm very busy now. so my next know we told or previously. so it was about a buffers. i know now it's been told so by the should be like, maybe you a controlled or a multi minute controlled buffer zone where there's no what was loose the and it

was north in the south of cyprus. is this a possibility? is this realistically something that could happen a m b with a long range, missiles that are already also being supplied now, so you claim how, how deep this book does this buffer zone have to be? this is a question because the us are sending this new weapon, this newman size with a like a 3 on the to them at this range. so it's of this size are able to heat the old crime. yeah. and also all the are from $33.00 out of the new range on refresh. and the if the id, uh uh for a b solution is a buffer zone. how and how many kilometers. we need to create these buffers on. because if the us, if the west to continue to supply this weapon with more range,

i've already time more range mornings, more range. so i need to secure the need safety for their $33.00. and of course, a longer age limit size are, this is like a web on the floor. it's kind of for us to leave the conflict and the for, for going to the peace in the region. and the of course, and now also in the middle of the region, it's needed like an wasn't any of the same. the same situation, like with of the, of, of this go was of like a 4th us for that. you create an army where they deploy a lot of artillery and we, these are still are they show the finance. and now there is the same situation in battle. so there is this one, fire god, the thought to go and maybe not from force need to pull back this weapon system for stuff makes a better part. we spoke to an independent dutch journalist who believes that such

attacks could be an increasingly big sign of desperation. they are losing those bits of fields and recent days it's been know that they the russian army and the rates of 6292 inches. so yeah, that's frustration. and so this is originally ation for this. it's not what to do more. you have to try to go into business. and that's a huge thing of cecilia and civilian. okay, x is, this is what is happening. you know, what else? i think because with, with russian i saying what state was still has this long range missiles. now they have the high life and every time they do, the same thing is hitting the sicilian areas and, and before they are losing the fuel. this is what you know when this finally missing this, they are you, let's deal with the west. keeps on. so i mean, i just found out that there are no building on the ground 6 requesting factoring.

so i mean, they're mathis as no indies. and yeah, well in the ukrainian so you know, they are, they have the snap see, and eulogy. and yeah, the files is really is, and is it something when actually useful visits by international law, it's forbidden and how you pulled up things. i don't care what they used to want to do is maybe doing this for maybe or this close. they are losing on the best deal united by music. that was the slogan for last night's eurovision song contest. but judging by the scenes outside the venue in sweden, unity wasn't short supply. as anger boiled over, israel's participation, the police were seen slamming protesters to the ground, binding their hands and dragging them away. while pepper spray was used on other

protesters, clayton, the police were heavy handed despite the demonstration be getting peacefully almost separate for the cost me off, the resolved so much bye for nothing. and i, and even when i asked why it was being detained or squared away, they were like, you don't have to enter that, but it's so you have to i was given away the danish, a policeman. standing back i was not taking part of the demonstration. right away or my husband saying anything were just silently demonstrating islands. they took us away and the motion that i was feeling is just a fraction and people aren't aren't experiencing this is contest was plagued by

scandal. israel came 5th and at one point was even leading the race, despite many calling for the country to be banned entirely from the event. with our take years, our team contributor rachel marston. this is your vision san contest is being held in suite in the country. that's become all synonymous with muslim immigration. so when israel is included in this annual competition organized by the european alliance of public service, media outlets at a time when there's a major humanitarian crisis in gaza as a result of israel trying to liquidate him off and hitting over 30000 palestinians to 1000000000. so far in the process, is it any wonder that euro vision a talent show has now become the latest runs in the stand off between pro palestinian and pro is really virtue, signaling battalions is horrible. what's happening in ga. so right now, and i think a lot of people should be demonstrating focusing, especially now when the u. s. low,

but this ramp to participate in your vision button, but not the russia. and i think that's just the, it's wrong. it's rooted in racism. and some of the double standard when it comes to the treatment of russia. for that reason, i think it's the prophecy. the people are here for your revision. thanks to celebrate. there's nothing to celebrate. it's an ongoing war. people are killing each other children or die in their recall sense as early as january to ban israel from your vision. but order, as i said, just shrugged de la, arguing that the context is a political. yeah. right. and your vision is totally not. so i'm point or kid, she either. tomorrow we're talking about in the network. participants are better known by their national flag then by their actual needs making it inherently nationalist and political. which is why the geneva based european broadcasting

union organizers slapped in egypt down on russia. when do you create conflict popped off? they even said and done the ukrainian president by mirrors wednesday from addressing the event last year. i guess that was a bridge to bar, is taking place the liver pulled at the time. they said that it was quote regrettable that they could not grant his request to speak despite his quote laudable intentions. because the quote possibility of making political statements as part of the contest is prohibited. sure, because political statements can only ever be done with words and not by actions like they did when they down russia. sounds like maybe they were just worried that zalinski would kind of kill the vibe with his usual speech. nationalistic rivalries are exactly what your vision is about actually to bad. no one from gazda was by just saying in europe. contests like israel was because god has bad sure. have been out in full force, including a mind hearing 8 shift that dropped into pork agreed about $400.00 profiles. the supporters on route to guess that this visit was apparently motivated by israel's

presence in the contest. even going and her ballad ended up qualifying for the top . 10 in the saturdays. big tell a vice finale. i'm so overwhelmed with emotions. it's truly such an honor to be here on stage performing and showing our voice and representing us with pride and making it to the finals is it's, it's something crazy. so she's obviously trying to keep it all about the music. the fact that the crowd chanted free palestine during her semi final dresser, her soul and she was food, would probably give a bit of a clue as to why that may be the case. but hey, here's is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu taking a break between bombing campaigns to hi jack. this is rarely performers efforts to make it all about him to the body you've already worn, not telling me all you prowled them impressively participating in you. a vision of

what your successfully confronts and a horrible wave of antisemitism. and you are standing up to it and representing the stage of his royal, with rates on. so be blessed and knows that when they for you, we show that to you how raw dot, i believe the technical term for b. b statement is friendly. fire, you know, bombing your own assets. his remark certainly won't do anything to help the politicize 0 version or the as rarely contest its participation. basically, be just rhetorically bomb bureau vision like it was a model by totally missing the target and virtually guaranteed even more blow back in other news, egypt will join south africa's case at the international court of justice, which is accusing israel of genocide. that's according to his statement by the countries foreign ministry to move to intervene in the mentioned lawsuit comes and made escalating is really aggression against the palestinian civilians and gaza involving systematic practices targeting, posting and civilians,

destruction of infrastructure displacement and creating unprecedented humanitarian crises in violation of international humanitarian law, egypt for news, it's call for immediate action to all hostilities and gaza military operations in the palestinian city of hoffa and provide necessary protection for palestinian civilians. even more nations are on board as well. earlier this week, libya filed its own declaration of intervention in south africa's case against israel. tortilla also announced its intention to join with the countries for administer, saying anchor a well submitted application. once the legal text is completed, all those states prepare. columbia has already cited with south africa on the matter stage of the proceedings. meanwhile, south africa's president said his country has returns to the i. c. j on friday, calling for an urgent order to pro, protects palestinians and gaza. and israel's military assault on rough hop serial,

around the photos of slammed israel for its actions and urged worldwide support for guidance. since the start of the military action, rafa is rarely seized control of both the rough and karen shalom crossings. effectively controlling all move in and out of gaza, including off all critical humanitarian and medical supplies, goods and fuel, the gross human rights violations, perpetuated by israel scales, taking comprehensible levels of cruelty. he's an extreme violent oppression. the world must do more to end the persecution of the palestinians, including that of many innocent women and children. earlier we heard from honey solely mon, who highlighted that rising legal support for palestinians is putting more pressure on israel. i think it's many uh have many uh, vision to as our doctors when we start from so it's actually going by the guys are in dominican, there's like libya, is it that the cost i think is to be, is

a start the many, the contents and other countries will be attached to this is on the national court of justice. it wouldn't make of the decision the we have many uh movements in how many jo brochures um so there's this on the other side of the human rights to do sons. i think it was, i mean, as a part of the to this moment is, you know, i mean, uh many uh, but need to go stairs. i think it, it was the and the by using the problem is readable as uh, agreement to which, uh, how much the functions that i did last time. and if i can throw in the upstairs and, uh, let it be. i seem to use it with the other decisions and then the other ones no covers, will be encouraged to make that man position. i think it was,

i said you will be papers or, or desire to make us the very next time. now this week marked the 79 sent over 3 of the right armies, victory over nazi germany in world war 2 commemorations took place all across russia to remember the huge sacrifice the soviet people paid party had special coverage throughout the day from central moscow. the victory they saw numerous freights held throughout the country with the most famous being on red square. following tradition, the russian president delivered his speech, the affirmed his country is ready to deal with any ex general threats, but is not seeking confrontation. but i will do today, we see how some are trying to distort the truth about the 2nd world war use. right? you have a truth is inconvenient for those who are used to building the colonial policy on his focus, the in lines. they demolish memorials to the times by physical and obviously that's

all well putting traces and encompasses of the nazis on the federal bodies for the race. the memory like that heroism was deliberate to soldiers, of the great sacrifice, ranches and much mockery of history and the desire to justify the color and follow is of the nazis which is a part of the general policy of the west. and it leads to insight new regional conflicts of my ethnic and religious hostility by new i think we reject the claims of any country or lions for exclusivity. your the way we know what the you know, it didn't say you have such a emissions lead. russia was do everything to prevent a global flash. nice, but at the same time you were, we will not allow anyone to exactly how strategic forces are always on a line that we despite the coldest victory day weather in 25 years, the clouds parted just long enough to allow a special fly past ortiz eager as dawn of manage to catch the jets as they took to the skies a hey on an i feel just outside most go to russian aerobatics themes. the swift and

the russian nights are done with the final preparations. pilots are in the cockpit . it's about to take off for the red square, the see, those are among the best and the well they both laugh at the side of the 3 of us. yeah. today make 29 on to 30th. the fighter jets. well, and all they go is paying a couple of years since 5 digits to parts of the victory. the blue sky is about the red square. well, it's the rarest of sites to behold. what's that noise?

0. that's the crowd that are applying. just another us. we have to read the rest of the life that is coming right on top of us. what are the disappear this when the good stuff comes through it? i mean, you know, you may love this and when, if it kindly cops come over the fos, you know, slide to just come over. you see the big illusions as well as a transport croft and when you, when they come over us, you caught him and he is on thing with a technology is awesome. somebody's to pull off the black to the swan. retrofitted upgraded not to can you hear that noise? oh, using what all your emotions today on this victory day? well, you cannot expressed of it's victoria day without expressing the fact that with the the ussr, the freedom which would not be here. the implication of the ussr has a low during the east front to crush the german armies. and because the crush, the german on is the allies of were able to get into europe and to up on the west

front without the use fronts that would not have been possible. and the big problem is, to me, these facts is under tools in the west. i remember when it was in school just in school, it's doing the 2nd world war. i was always told that the, yeah. the and lou americans from count against they came in the desk, but once we have reach such a level of brain washing when we have reached such a level of moving to rewrite the true story, the understanding which well, the special ministry operation is ongoing. on the west and political a media landscape, they keep talking about this unprovoked, all of a sudden, russian invasion. and yet you installed in book the nato chief said, 48 hours ago. hey, this all started in 2014 guys, 2014. did they really want to do the study to train them since 2014 at night on was

organized by the c. i. in fact, is it's not a military, it's not need to military success and you frame it's a ton of failure for everything. every kind of new building blew up a new, a silver bullet that they try to break to bringing with whether it's the legal problem with our it's the ever arms. whether it's absolutely everything is a failure and now they have a big problem. when you speak to you yourself about your brain, and when we speak about victoria day, is that the west never understood ones are akin. pardon? is that russia is feeling that i'm going to present this russian. so this is the way it works in the west newborn, just do this. now they have started something that the don't know how to stop over 9000 veterans. so the great patriotic war still alive and russia,

one of them you've gained, you caught up. hopkins was among the red square, special guest sharing, the podium with president put and here's the story the visa to order. so the redstone, i received one from my last trip, when i run out of the nation across the folder on september 19th, 1942, are you all division which joined to battle for spelling rock with 13000 soldiers and virtually ceased to exist by then fewer than 500 and must return to moscow, while 900 people remained in our loft before transporting them, the nation to the other side of the river was wounded. a shield fragment he'd be here. if it had struck him in ohio and no one i would have died,

i pulled out of the shop myself, advised me to cancel the operation. but i said i couldn't that i had to leave it on the nation. my own was funded. i didn't feel it, but i completed my task and delivered down the nation. i was awarded the order of the red stall for this the we had the regular small to discuss the weather. at one point i blocked up the cottage, tell him me about even reach. i remember 1995 when we the military did not know how to go outside when no one understood what would happen to us next. so now i know that you saved us from this grace. you became the one who saved the whole month.

and i tell you this from the bottom of my heart. you took my hand like this. i said, we're grateful to you for what you have done. and that you are the head of the country. congratulations on your new appointments. we believed in victory. when he left, he forgot to say good bye to me. he had already left, but came back to me and said, i'm sorry that i forgot to say good bye to you. and he shook my head and very tight . the . now the west african nation of sierra leone has been boosting its ties with russia. its top diplomat was just in moscow where everything from nuclear cooperation to the security situation and its home region was discussed, get ready to push it to us. so we discussed the situation in.
