the west to the hague, again, my name, the buried alive. 13 people are killed and 20 more wounded after ukrainian missile strikes. decimate the section of an apartment building in the russian city of belgrade. also ahead, the as rescue team searched for the victims, the roof of the complex collapsed and pain raining down on them in drink 3 of the workers that were tasked with saving lot. as one of our approved the re shuffles this cabinet, the ministry of defense will be headed by a civilian. the kremlin says the department should be open to innovation to ensure victory on the battlefield. and egypt denounces it will join south africa's case

that the international court of justice, which accuses israel of genocide, the broadcasting live from moscow. this is our t international. i am your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. our top story. 3 civilians have been killed and 5 more wounded in the latest ukrainian strikes on the russian border. city of belgrade, civilian infrastructure was hit, including a parking area, a bus stop and more local homes. these attacks followed the strike on the apartment complex, in which 13 people had been killed and 20 more wounded. when are you fighting and missile attack partially destroyed the residential mit building. surveillance camera footage captured the moment of that strike on the 10 story building. rescue teams are now racing against time and the bids to reach those still trapped under the buildings rumble. or

what you just witness. there is a critical phase known as a quiet period where teams pause to listen for any signs of life that could be heard from within the rubble. rescue efforts were hampered earlier when another part of the building came crashing down. the unfortunately, 3 emergency workers were injured in that incident, while search efforts were also interrupted amid the threats of another ukrainian attack. prussian authorities have slammed this as an act of terrorism and a video has been posted online. i have a witness at the scene. just moments after the attack took place. the

those rescued from the scene of the devastation had been taken to a nearby school and are being given help by local authorities. a small scale says nato supplied weapons including vampire missiles were used, and the latest strikes on val, during the russian foreign ministry, has condemned the attack and said it adds to the list of war crimes by the key of new regime, habits, western back deter, attack in belgrade is another bloody link in a chain of crimes of the key for using the targeted showing of innocent civilians, public infrastructure, residential buildings, hospitals, schools, and social facilitators has become a signature of zalinski, is criminal organization, which is backed by western sponsors. so it's key f, it's behaving like a terrorist states on a continuous basis. and um, is no longer adhering to the rules of the welfare. they will be actually sooner or

later treated as a terrorist attitude. and this would mean, for example, that the people like um, one of the chief of the ukrainian secret service was behind various terrace, the tax and the past. and also um, so i'm still himself, um, could be treated as terrorist spider, russian leadership. and you had, for example, because that, um there was basically a call for arresting savanski by the russian leadership. and therefore, they could um, use a different tactics that before on the ukrainian dealership itself, who's responsible for these tactics in order to change the behavior of the key. a 1st name, as this comes as rest as defense, ministry has reported successful results from a new offensive near ukraine. second largest city, a product of la scouts forces liberated 9 villages in the past, 48 hours,

securing regions areas rather near russia's belgrade region. once we get more on this, now we're going across live to radio and tv, host and political commentator, steve gill. steve, thanks a lot for joining us on the program. first of all, i wanna, i wanna ask you about these german law makers basically proposing a plan for nato forces to impose a no fly zone over western and ukraine. i mean, is that even feasible? and what would that mean in terms of involvement and the conflict for nato? well, that is certainly putting there, so i'm on the scales of the conflict. ukraine is not doing anything successful in the air, so it would really be targeted just it rushes, intervention and use of the air power. and it's ironic that the germans would be making this 1st just as a f sixteens are slated to arrive in ukraine. why are they arriving if they're not gonna fly them? yeah, and, and poland and romania,

they've been suggested as potential territories to base uh, weapons to take out incoming russian missiles. how'd you, how'd moscow rather consider the role of poland and romanian in such a case. do you think? well, i think it looks like guys you've got data and you've got western europe particularly fall into romania. you just seem to be ditching to push this into a greater conflict there to expand the borders of the conflict and, and that create a world war 3 integration and that is, that is not wise. and you know, it's kind of ironic that you have the bind administration restricting weapons to israel because of their concerns that they won't use our weapons to hit civilians in gaza. and yet they have no problems about providing weapons that are used to kill civilians. ends on ask and in the rest of this ukrainian region, so they have park per see of the us position on weapons in, in israel's hands versus weapons. and ukrainian hands is uh, is outraged. just almost as outrages as this attack on civilian targets and belt or

run. well, ukraine's new very draconian mobile and mobilization law is set to come into power on may 18th keeps already threatened to block the bank accounts of people trying to avoid the draft and impose restrictions on their property. there's even talks of a potential of full mobilization in the near future. what do you think is going to come from all of this? i think it's interesting that the right at the moment, the presence of lens determine office is without election inside of a democracy, as we're told in the states and in western europe, that we must defend a democracy that has no election that is cracking down on independent media shutting down opposition, political parties attacking the russian orthodox church. this is the democracy we are asked to defend with our weapons and our money. and you have 652750000 ukranian and military age. man who have fled. the country rather than fight for their

country and you have american tax payers are expected to fund the fight for their country. i think that we're seeing ukraine. you'll reach the final stages, which is why you're going to see more desperate attempts to paint russia as evil. they're already calling these strikes in belgrade. as, as it, the russians blew up the building to create some sort of a propaganda game. and yet there are videos of these strikes, hitting the demonstrate that they are literally missile. and bob strikes not something that that was planted in a building that the ukrainians and some of the western media are repeating with no facts to back it up. well, one thing that the french present, the manual micron said, is that he's not going to rule out sending nato troops to ukraine. right. so if this conscription law doesn't really turn out the ways, the lensky uh wants it to turn out. do you think there's a real, real possibility of nato troops picking up the slack of the ukrainian military? and if so, what would that mean? and i think my crown is talking tough as he has been for a while, but you do here,

other leaders and nato that are signs though we're not putting troops on the ground . you crate is not part of nate over we're gonna start world war 3. you've had to world war spot on your upset ground. i can't imagine that they think they want to go through another one, perhaps with nuclear weapons involved on both sides of the issue. i think this tough talk, this buster is because they see that ukraine is loosing and they're trying to stretch this out for whatever economic reason, monetary reason or, you know, self aggrandizing reason that they can come up with up at the bottom line is that you have cost hundreds of thousands of ukrainian and russian lives for what could have been avoided at the very outset and should have been avoided as the very outset. well, the united states, the united nations, a set time and time again that it opposes all attacks on civilian infrastructure no matter what side. but do you think it can actually take any meaningful action as

well? the 1st action they can take is to put people on the russian side of this conflict . ends on ask annual hard skin, very helpful in belgrade, if they would put people on the ground who could see what's actually happening rather than take whatever you frame, tells them whatever the media on the ukrainian side tells them. it's interesting that you have us media that will embed and go into the gaza and, and be with the hamas terrorist to report what's going on in gaza. but they do not place any reporters on the russian side of this conflict in and show the civilian attacks and civilian casualties that are taking place there. if 5 people get killed in dallas or it's breaking news, and yet you have, but example, after example, the people who are just innocently going to do it basically like we haven't done that's come up or so ago 28 people killed. not a single mention in western media about that attack on a civilian targets and these targets are getting about right. our civilian targets aren't military installations that they're striking. and what's even worse?

is it, they're using the, the really terroristic, double tap, where they'll hit astride wait for the emergency medical personnel to arrive, and then far as the other strike right at the same spot to try it hard the yeah, the people that are there to save lives that is despicable and the west ought to be reporting on that. well steve, i worked as a workforce upon it myself and then yeah, it's can i saw that 1st hand so the 100 percent. i mean, i guess the, the question we have to ask now enter in, in light of that is why, why is ukraine deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure? do you think that's great because they can try to blame russia and try to, you know, again, use their propaganda screens at the west and the western media just swallows without any skepticism. how like the ghost of ki, have who was shooting down russian fighter jets left and right. there was a live we see lie after lie just repeated by the western media. i was in don't ask for the september elections last year. and there were no reporters from m. s. n b c,

cnn. uh, the new york times the wall street journal, the washington post. and yet they were quick to claim the elections in that portion where it were a sham election were face elections. they weren't reporting based upon what they were saying because i was actually there going to following places you've been, i've done to ask, you've seen exactly what's happening there. and if there's no western media telling the truth about what has happened there over the last 14 years, and what's been happening over the last 2 years, that's most definitely right. well, uh, that's all the time we have though. steve, thanks a lot for coming on the program. radio and tv host and political commentator, steve gill, now is russian president vladimir putin informs his government for his 5th term, the outgoing defense minister, sir de shy, who has been nominated as the secretary of the security council. is post will be taken by the outgoing 1st deputy prime minister and economist by profession on the day. but most of the kremlin spokesman explains that this decision is to put,

to put a civilian forwards to stop the position of the nation's defense minister. it was enough besides it is very important seats invite the economy of all security forces into the economy of the country so that it corresponds to the dynamics of our current situation. and the 2nd thing probably there is important to note is that today on the bottle field, that when a is the one who's open, more open to innovation, not open to maxim operational implementation. and the full and naturally occurring stage, the president has decided that a civilian should have the minister of defense. there is no just the civilian, but to mine who, how did the very successful ministry also economic development of russia? before a long time was an assistant to the president on economic issues survey, chicago. i mean, he's obviously been in this position as defense minister for a long time. he's quite a major role for russia over the years. what's in store for him now?

yes, that's why he's been in the defense ministry post since 2012, so that's 12 is a very long time to hold such a senior post in any administration, not just in russia, but across the world. in this re shuffle. it's being proposed by president putin and it's a normal to have a re shuffle up the stalls to the new to him as president said, issue is going to be moved. we think to the secretary of the security council, this means he's still going to be advising precedent, preaching on matters of national security. it will also have an eye across to look into the future. looking at potential threats could be coming, rushed his way and looking to advise how they can be avoided. it's still somebody who will have thank you the president to give suggestions as to how the country should be dealing with lots of different situations. a very prominent role, the name sergio chicago is much more well known around the world and probably in

russia to then and a bellows of what can you tell us about this in coming replacement for shaking? well, he's an economist, a, she doesn't have a military background, and there's nothing unusual about that. we've seen that we've plenty of other ministries of defenses across the world as being the 1st step of the prime minister for russia now since 2020, and in his will. and his background as an economist, he's actually been very important in terms of looking at the reconstruction efforts of before noon, the integrated regions into russia. we heard don't from the music pass goals the crime and spoke space and talking about the reason why civilian has been chosen to be moved into this position. and pest scope said, you know, be in searching of the economy of the military into the whole state and looking at innovation the whole state is going to be important as not to determine the witness on the battlefield. and given that

a fellow self has go face economic backgrounds can see things differently and he understands the new, the incorporated regions. it's clear that he is the person that present creating believes will be able to bring that difference. and we could see when we stand on the battlefield for russia, india pull, joining south africa's case that the international court of justice, which is accusing israel of genocide, that's according to a statement by the countries for an ministry to move to intervene in the mentioned lawsuit comes and made, escalating is really aggression against 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 hostilities and gaza military operations in the palestinian city of rafa and provide necessary protection for palestinian civilians

published 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. kia also announced its intention to join with the countries for administer, saying anchor will submit its application once the legal text is completed. the although states prepare columbia has already side is with south africa on the matter stage of the proceedings. meanwhile, south africa's president said his country is his country returns to the i. c. j on friday, calling for an urgent order to protect the palestinians in gaza. and israel's military assault on rough off several, several remo photos of slammed israel for its actions and urged a world wide support for thousands. since the start of the military action and rough or israel, to seize control of both the rough and care m shalom crossings, effectively controlling all moved 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 mine who highlighted that rising legal support for palestinians is putting more pressure on his real. i think it's many uh many uh these are 2 other account is when we start from so it's actually going by the guys are in dominican through like libya. is it that the cost? i think it to be the start menu. the content on the console would be attached to this is on the international court of justice. it wouldn't make a great pleasure, especially we have many uh moments in account rooms. childrens um,

the universe is on the other side of the human rights to do sons. i think it's with me as a part of the door was this moment. is your domain uh many uh, but need to go stairs. i think it, it was the and the by using the, from his rental agreement which, uh how much the functions that i did last time on device. but it's been thrown into the upstairs and the blended cpr, st. usually with big decisions and many other wisdom companies will be encouraged to make their man position. i think it was i said you will be papers or, or desire to make us the very next time united by music. that was the slogan for last night. so 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, finding their hands and dragging them away. while pepper spray was used on others, protesters claimed the police were heavy handed despite the demonstration, beginning peacefully, the 1st grade, and the call me off. thank you so much bye for nothing and i and even want to ask why was being detained or squared away. they were like, you don't have to answer that, but it's i was given away the danish, a policeman standing back i was not taking part of the demonstration saying

anything were just silence. he demonstrated cayman islands. they took us away and the motion that i was feeling is just a fraction of what people are experiencing. this is contest was plagued by scandal . israel came 5th and at one point was even leading the race. despite many people calling for the country to be banned from the event altogether, with her take years are to contributor rachel marston. this is your vision song contest is being held in sweet in the country. that's become austin. honest 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, come off and hitting over 3000 pallets. and in so 1000000000 so far in the process, is that a 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. it's horrible what's happening in ga. so right now, and i think a lot of people should be demonstrating purchasing, especially now when the u. s. low, but this ramped, participate in your emission button, but not the russia. and i think that's just the, it's wrong. it's rooted in racism. and in some of the doubles when it comes to the treatment for that reason, i think it's part of the people are here for your revision. thank. so 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 for organizers of just shrugged de la. arguing that the context is a political. yeah. right. and your vision is totally not flamboyant or kid. she

either come on, we're talking about an event where participants are better know by their national flag than by their actual names 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've been said and done. the ukranian president by mirrors wednesday from addressing the event last year. i guess that was a bridge to bar. it was 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 too bad nowhere from gaza wasn't by

just saying and europe's contests like israel was because god has bad. sure. and i've been out in full force including a mind hearing aid shift that dropped into pork and greed 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 saturday's big tele 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 dress rehearsal and she was dude, would probably give a bit of a clue as to why that might 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, and make it all about him. so that's one box. you've already won. not telling me all you proud them impressively participating in your vision. but your successfully consultants and a horrible wave of anti semitism and you are standing up to it and representing the stage of his royal with great on. so be blessed and know that when they bow you, we shall to, to you. however, i believe the technical term for b. b statement is friendly fire, you know, bombing your own assets is remark certainly won't do anything to help the politicize 0 vision or the as rarely contest its participation. basically, be just rhetorically bomb bureau vision like it was some us by totally missing the target and virtually guaranteed even more blow back the washington apparently didn't get what was supposed to be

a very clear memo. after the military leadership in new share ordered american troops to pack up and ship out in march of this year, us officials are still hoping that something can be salvaged. we will make the most out of the situation that was presented to us, but the intent is in nature to drive down to a level that these areas can live with in the us started building up its military presence there over a decade ago. about $1000.00 troops are located at the $100000000.00 american drone base and the north of the country in march and the chair broke, severed as broke its military ties with washington explaining their decision. jerry and authorities said that the agreement was imposed upon the country and does not meet the interests of the people. this past month, officials from both countries started planning for the withdrawal of american troops of demonstrations have often been held in the country against the presence of american troops in the town of august as home to the u. a. v. air base to

a 100 scattered to demand the departure of washington's forces. the protests were organized by a coalition of groups that support the military regime that came to power. and last year we spoke with former us psychological warfare officer, scott bennett. he says that the west is panicking and trying to negotiate any way i can stay in after. never about raising africa up or doing low intensity conflict or counter terrorism. it was always about feeding the empire and africa as finally over thrown that's in slave meant and has sought to cleanse themselves of this control. and now you see the west uh, panicking and desperately trying to negotiate any way to stay in africa so they can continue their nefarious activities. there's nothing good that the united states brings to africa whatsoever. and i think they realize in africa that russia is a far better friend and partner because they are genuinely interested in the,

the elevation of africa. and i, i would say this to africa. will the united states contractors and military that are in a country that are on the bass, are running out of food and medicine and supplies because they've established no flights coming in and out. this is an opportunity for a public relations victory for russia as far as i'm concerned. that's how i look at it. and i think uh, keeping the west out, stopping any military presence from coming in is a very wise move because they do not have any designs to help africa. only parasitic lee exist often this week marks the 79th anniversary of the red armies victory over nazi germany in world war 2. collaborations took place all across russia to remember the huge sacrifice the soviet people paid. archie had special coverage throughout the day from central mosque. the

victory they saw numerous parades, health throughout the country, with the most famous being on red square. following tradition, the russian president delivered a speech he firmed 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. right. you know, the truth is inconvenient for those who are used to building their colonial policy on hypocrisy in lines. they demolish memorials to the trees fighters against and obviously that's all well putting traits as an accomplice is of the nazis on a pedestal would be a race, the memory of the heroism of deliberate, the soldiers of the great sacrifice launches and much mockery of history and the desire to justify the color and follows of the nazis a part of the general policy of the west and it leads to incite new regional conflicts, ethnic and religious hostility. we reject the claims of any country or

a lions for exclusivity. we know what the, you know, what in a sea of such a emissions leads to russia will do everything to prevent the global clash. but at the same time, we will not allow anyone to strengthen. our strategic forces are always on the left . despite the coldest may, 9th, weather, and 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. the 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 .
