7:04 pm
a bid to reach those still trapped under the buildings. rubble. a local eye witness shared his experience. the above agrees when the strike occurred, always taking shelter on the main boulevard. i was lying on the floor and i felt the ground shake. i filled it explode with my feet somewhere nearby. i knew something big happened. i went to look it up on telegram and realized i had to go to help. i turned up to the side of the strike and started helping push cars around for the emergency services to be able to bust through some cars had their steering wheel locks, so we have to pick them up by force and move them. i found also this little guy, he came up to me, i think he jumped out the window window strike occurred or he came from under the rubble. what you just saw was a critical phase known as a quiet period where teams pause to listen for any signs of life from within the run. the rescue efforts were hampered earlier when another part of the building
7:05 pm
came crashing down. the 3 emergency workers were injured in that incident. the search and rescue efforts were also interrupted due to the threat of more attacks of air raid sirens went off . prussian authorities have slammed this as an act of terrorism, and the video has been posted online, a witness of the scene. just moments after the attack took place, the, the cisco was rescued from the scene of the devastation had been taken to a nearby school and are being given health by the authorities. there. most scale says nato supplied weapons, including vampire missiles were used in the latest strikes on belgrade,
7:06 pm
and the russian foreign ministry condemns the attack as well. and said it adds to the list of war crimes by the key, every theme and it's western back the to 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 facilities has become a signature of zalinski is criminal organization, which is backed by western sponsors. so it's key if it's behaving like a terrorist states on a continuous basis. and um, it's no longer adhering to the rules of the welfare. they will be actually sooner or later treated as a terrorist entity. and this will mean for example that, um 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,
7:07 pm
could be treated as terrorist spider, russian leadership. and you had for example, because, but um, and there was basically a call for arresting celebrity 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 um the behavior of the key or for see this comes as rough as defense, ministry has reported successful results from a new offensive near ukraine, 2nd largest city of product of all scouts forces liberated 9 villages and the last 48 hours securing areas near russia's, belgrade region independent. that's journal. as sonya vonda and says, attacks by ukrainian forces on civilians or an increasing sign of desperation because of the key of regina's losses on the front as they are using those bits of
7:08 pm
fields. in recent days, it's been know that day the russian army and the rates and 6292 inches. so yes, that's frustration and so this is originally ation for this. it's not worth the war . you have to try to build a vessel. and that's a huge thing, as julian's civilian. okay, so this is what is happening and you know, what else? i think because what, what russia is saying, or what state was still has this little 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 we know west is finally missing this. they are to move it to few but still the west keeps on supporting it. i mean, i just found out that there are no building on the ground. 6 res, width, insect 3. so, i mean, their map, this class know everything this and yeah,
7:09 pm
well the ukrainian so, you know, they are, they have to snap see and eulogy. and yeah, the files is really is and is something when actually is presented by international law. it's forbidden and how you conduct more, but i think i don't care what they used to want to do is maybe doing this for maybe a desperate cost. they are using the best deals. sherman lawmakers have proposed a plan for nato forces to impose a no fly zone over western ukraine to take out incoming russian assets. defending the air space over ukraine from poland and romania should not be ruled out in the long term. this would relieve the burden on the ukrainian air defense and allow it to protect the front. the poland and romania had been suggested as potential territories to base these weapons earlier. moscow had taken aim at similar suggestions saying that launching have 16 fighters from nato states would be met by an attack from russia. former pentagon senior security policy analyst,
7:10 pm
michael maloof, warren's. that's exactly what might happen. how do you enforce it? unless they're gonna fly it themselves? that that's the case, then the germans become directly involved, and they become thereby become a target. so that's what we're going to probably say. if poland and germany and france want to get into the fray, the west is desperate. and, and we see this with macro on, he's talking about wanting to send troops, send out that that's just pure suicide. i can't imagine why they want to do it. what people are very concerned about is the enlargement of this conflict. these countries do these things on a bilateral basis, and missiles and aircraft take off from them them to, to enforce that no fly zone area over west ukraine. where will they take off from? and that then opens that country up to a direct attack from, from moscow. so,
7:11 pm
you know, it's their choice, but the consequences will be dire. and that will enlarge the conflict. for sure. as russian president vladimir putin forms his government for his 5th term, the outgoing defense minister survey chicago has been nominated as the secretary of the security council. his posts will be taken by the outgoing 1st deputy prime minister and economist by profession. on the day bellows of the kremlin spokesman explained that the decision to put it, he explained rather the decision to put forward a civilian to staff. the position of the nation's defense minister 14 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 box will feel that when a is the one who's open will continue innovation not open to maxim operational
7:12 pm
implementation. and the for naturally dakota 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 presidents on economic issues to start a shy go. i mean, he's obviously been in this position as defense minister for a long time. he's quite a major role for rush 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 pressing preaching, and it's a normal to have a re shuffle up the stall to the new to him as president a certification who's going to be moved? we think to the secretary of the security council. this means he's still going to
7:13 pm
be advising president, recruiting 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. sit still an advisory, will it still somebody who will have me as the president to give suggestions as to how the country should be dealing with lots of different situations. so very prominent role, i think it's safe to say also that i mean 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 chicago? well, he's an economist, he 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 and has been the 1st step of the prime minister for russia now since 2020, and in his will. and his backgrounds as an economists,
7:14 pm
he's actually been very important in terms of looking at the reconstruction efforts of before noon, the integrated regions into russia. he understands what's going on in the crime that and that will give him a different sense as to what perhaps the priorities we heard don't form the music pass goals, the permanent spokesperson talking about. the reason why civilian has been chosen to be moved into this position. and pass group said, you know, the in searching of the economy of the military into the whole state 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 based economic backgrounds, can see things differently as he understands the new, the incorporated regions. it's clear that she is the person that present creating believes will be able to bring back the furnace. and we could see when we spend on the battlefield for russia. now the news,
7:15 pm
egypt will join south africa's case at the international court of justice, which is accusing israel of genocide. that's according to a statement by the countries foreign ministry to move to intervene in the mentioned lawsuit comes amid 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 hostilities and gaza military operations in the palestinian city of rafa 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
7:16 pm
administer, saying ankara will submit this application once the legal taxed is completed. all those states prepare. columbia has already cited with south africa on the matter, and meanwhile, south africa's president said his country returns to the icy j on friday, calling for an urgent order to protect the palestinians and gaza, amid israel's military assault. on rough up serial round the falls 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 move in and out of guns. and 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
7:17 pm
solely mon, who highlighted the rising legal support for palestinians is putting more pressure on israel. i think it's many uh have many uh visuals to other countries when we start from so it's actually going by the guys are in dominican to is like libya. is it that the cost? i think it to be the start menu. i wasn't. i'm confident on the cards. would it be attached to is 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 does, on the other side is and the human rights and institutions. i think it will. i mean, as a part of the door was this moment is, you know, i mean, uh many would need to go stairs. i think it,
7:18 pm
it was the and the by using his right to as uh, agreement which uh how much like the functions that i did last time. and if i can throw it into the upstairs and let it be, i seem to use it with the other decisions and many other wisdom cutters will be encouraged to made that man position. i think it was, i think it will be okay. but as or or desire to make us the very next the 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, finding their hands in, dragging them away. while pepper spray was used on other protesters playing the
7:19 pm
police were heavy handed. despite the demonstration, beginning quite peacefully on our separate page and the cost me off the results 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 enter that, but it's i was given away the danish policeman. standing back, i was not taking part into the mistake saying anything were just silently demonstrating they took us away and the motion that i was feeling is just a fraction of what people are experiencing. this year's contest was plagued by
7:20 pm
scandal. israel came 5th and at one point was even leading the race, despite many calling for the country to be banned outright from the event. with our take, here's our t contributor, rachel marched. this is your vision san contest is being held in suite in the country. that's become aust 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 is a major humanitarian crisis and gas as a result of the israel trying to liquidate him off and heating over 3000 pallets. and in civilian 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. 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,
7:21 pm
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 in slumber for the double standard when it comes to the treatment of russian. for that reason, i think the people are here for your vision trying to sort of celebrate there's nothing to celebrate. it's an ongoing war. people are killing each other. children or die in there because sense as early as january to ban israel from your vision, but order as a just shrugged de la, arguing that the context is a political. yeah. right. and your vision is totally not flamboyant or kid. she either. tomorrow we're talking about an event where participants are better known by their national flag then by their actual names making it inherently nationalist and political. which is why the geneva based european broadcasting union organizers
7:22 pm
slapped in egypt down on russia. when do you create conflict popped off, they even said and done the ukranian 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 too bad nowhere from gaza wasn't by just saying in europe. contests like israel was because gaz has bad. sure. and i've been out in full force including a mind hearing aid shift that dropped into port and greed about $400.00 profiles. the supporters on route to gas up this visit was apparently motivated by israel's
7:23 pm
presence in the contest. even going and her ballad ended up qualifying for the top 10 in the saturday's big televised 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 hijack this is rarely performers efforts and make it all about him. so that's my body. you've already one, not telling me all you proud them impressively participating in your vision. but
7:24 pm
your successfully consultants and a horrible wave of anti semitism and your standing up to date and representing the stage of his royal was great on. so be blessed and know that when they bow you, we show that to you. how are that? 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 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. all the things that apparently didn't get what was supposed to be a very clear memo after the military leadership in the 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,
7:25 pm
but the intent is in nature to drive down to a level that the new jerry and can live with us started building up its military presence there over a decade ago. about the $1000.00 troops are located at the $100000000.00. american droned base in the north of the country. in march, new air broke, so broke its military ties with washington. explaining their decision to jerry and authorities said the agreement was imposed on the country and does not meet the interest of the people. this past month, officials from both countries started planning for the withdrawal of american troops. demonstrations have often been held in the country against the presence of american troops in the town of august is home to the u. a. v. air base to a one hundreds gathered 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 last year . we also spoke with former us psychological warfare officer, scott bennett. he says that the west is panicking and trying to negotiate any way
7:26 pm
it can to stay in africa, was 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 in slave meant and has sought to cleanse themselves of this control. and now you see the west panicking and desperately trying to negotiate any way to stay in africa, so they can continue their nefarious activities. there is 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
7:27 pm
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 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 off of it. that's all for this hour. thanks for watching r t international and we hope you have a great day the
7:28 pm

7:29 pm
the way not. right? so see what's printing what was up at the moment. this is just to boost papers with me. the last name was name is read, it was can, will be used to imagine we have some of the more for someone who is this, we, which i knew people to the, the a federal
