for storage, chip vehicle, because then you have to be moving, you receive the pressure, repels and overnight attack on crimea, downing 8 ukrainian drones that comes as 11 countries. 3 like the for i came to russian territories with western r. as washington's $320000000.00 aids here breaks apart and begin to think off the coast of gaza to us senator draws us to writing comparison between israel's actions and americans, nuclear attacked on japan. we did what was necessary to protect our way of life. was it disproportionate to use atomic weapons to end the war we couldn't afford to lose? so this idea of the international community, your question considers israel. the problem i reject that the highway is one of the

many is really military bases scattered across the west bank. this particular one resides in the middle of an area, housing around 350 cali, senior families. up in smoke, the livelihoods of color. cindy and farmers in the west bank are at risk as the buyers destroyed their problem. what questions are raised as the area affected is also used by is really courses for military trail. these fires started by doing the patient in the jordan valley, part of the program prepared to displace boasting of the families from here the live in the russian capital. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we start with the latest on the ukraine conflict. russia has repelled overnight attack on his territory. according to the defense ministry, he have used us made army tactical missile systems during the strikes. russia was

able to down a ukrainian, you avi's over crimea. the local authorities say the printing attack and targeted dependence was transportation infrastructure. while the strikes were repelled and the city of kurtz to ferry boats were hit by the down rock as fragments, no civilian casualties have been reported. meanwhile, the debate, the surrounding calves at possible use of western arms to strike russian territories is not dying down. so far. 11 countries have given ukraine the go ahead to use their weapons for such attacks. among them, some of the most vocal supporters, poland, france, canada, and the u. k. russia has warned against such a publications. well, let's take a look at the arsenal. ukraine has access to ingest, how far those weapons can strike inside russia. 3 types of those western supply, munitions can hit target less than 100 kilometers inside rush or potentially

reaching the cities of. don't ask in belgrade now. the next group includes rockets bombs and you avi's from the us. the you can portable, they can reach up to 300 kilometers deep inside russian territory. but the long range storm at shadow cruise missiles post the biggest threat they can strike up to 550 kilometers deep within russia. you can find supply these muscles that have supported potential attacks on russia. well, for more, let's cross now to r t correspond that you guys down of an ego. it looks like the situation is heating up by the day. can you give us the latest? absolutely. rachel, you know what they say desperate time school for desperate measures and well, it seems, but such times have come for ukraine. it is becoming increasingly difficult for kids to paint a bright and up lifting picture of what's going on on the front lines on the well, it seems that the, the well even the west and experts it's missing to that they're admitting that it

is what some of the hottest stones that ukraine has faced since the beginning of the conflict since the war broke out. but at the same time, neither key of know its nature clauses seem willing to admit and to concede to this new reality. so they are scrambling for means, and they are looking as to what they can do and 4 months, if not 4 years. now they have been listening that the, well, they are running out of what they can do. so this latest portia is just one more development and one more step towards further escalation is if a starting gun went off somewhere in the back stage or the global jet political arena. countries, one by one began to lift their a band on the use of those weapons, but they had previously donated me on the use, the gaze targets so deep within the russian territory. the usual mongers were the

1st to jump on this bandwagon like the u. k. poland or the baltic states, and so what spain and italy is a sofa are still upholding that brand, as did germany, or at least show that seemed until the spokesman for all of schultz indicated that there might be a u turn when it comes to that policy. have listed as to what he said, a lender on several countries including germany, have reached cleared agreements with ukraine on the use of western weapons. such a defensive struggle is not limited to one's own national territory, but can of course, also be extended to the aggressive national territory. so now mind, all of that is happening. you use the backdrop of the looming elections for 2 major for the to power houses, portions of ukraine. that is, of course, the united states and the u. k. for the united states. well, joe biden, things, well, he's getting mixed results within the polls. but for the u. k,

for the incumbent, conservative party will tell i, i will tell you, that'd be decimated by the labor rivals in the pools. so well that seems to put the looming social peace conference on your brain in switzerland, on the back burner. now this is an event that russia was actively and vocally, not invited to participate in. and from the most cool stand point that conference looks like just a platform for you. praying and its allies together and come up with an ultimatum to most cool. but again, russian troops here have the gaming, tara g, by the day of the games, have you smooth. but when the conflict, such as the ones that we see, you frame every, even a few 100 meters a day can be considered a rather significant and a bigger success. because in the amount of men and equipment, the ukraine news is,

uh do you descend to, to keep, to, to not withdrawal for at least a while. uh, from uh, that small would, could be a small patch of land is disproportionate. and ukraine has been struggling with replenishing. it's so both the equipment and meant so with all of that, with the, with the silver piece conference in switzerland. again, all of this, all of this woman going to look under the full, the lifting of this bond. it looks like you had another step towards escalation and yet another another way to try and hold russia. so even the united states, even the secretary of state uh, did have to say that, well, the united states also might be reviewing their a band on the use of american donated weapons against their use against the targets within the russian territory. have a listen as we haven't occurred, shore enabled strides outside of the frame. um have you free, as i've said before,

has to make its own decisions about the best way to effectively defend itself. we're going to make sure that it has the equipment needs to do that as the conditions and change that's about it was changed as what rush it does, has changed in terms of how it's pursuing its aggression escalation. we've adapted and adjusted to and i'm confident it to you to do that or not the same time the ukrainian allies, they have be in a property that has been a decision on the quite soon they might hand over the f. 16 fighter jets to ukraine . that is something that has aggravated most go as well. rushes for administer to get a level, has said that they actually view as, as nato's escalation on the nuclear track. because they say that these of 165 are just capable of carrying a nuclear warheads. so that is indeed a very serious escalation. also the russian for administer. so your level war and

nato, a gains deploying it's short and medium range, missiles nuclear miss out in eastern europe. so this is something that, according to the russian foreign minister, not only aggravates most cool, but also b j. and both nations have pledged to retaliate and well to push back. if that happens. at the same time, things in ukraine within the country have been very, very difficult for kids because they have been desperate to try and round up as many men as possible to send them to the front lines. we're not talking volunteers, we're talking those who have been actively evaluate the draft for 12 months now at least, if not years. so uh they even have to update the draft legislation. they have to tighten it on the since the 18th of may, when the new louis came into power, the streets of ukraine have being, lucy absolutely deserted because over the sheer fact that the relationship between

ukraine's dropped officials on the population have transcended in gold beyond any legal framework, they have been using an authorized force to round up people. they have been rounding up a lot of people with disabilities with addictions. and it seems that they have a blank, well they have really like a blank check. they haven't get out of jail free card, so to speak, and they can pretty much, they have their hands on tide as to who they can send to the front lines. and obviously this has been a quite unpopular measure within the ukranian population. so right now, all of this is looking that ukraine and its allies held back on escalating this conflict even further by any means necessary, anything it looks like the time of i am concerned about unpopular decisions has long passed our to seek our stand. think our thank you a caps efforts to join the european union have drugged on for years with the blocks

diplomats now seemingly teasing you train with succession talks to boost morale as early as next month with bloomberg. same discussions will kick off mere weeks after the new problem and 3 elections and the are being union is aiming to start negotiations as early as june. the 25th, which you crate on becoming a member of the blogs that help boost keeps morale, but has yet to fully overcome objections from hungry and ukraine definitely need someone to boost at spirits. russian forces are advancing on the battlefield. cabins. brutalizing its people to force them into a meat grinder, but it's likely brussels isn't just dangling the carrot of e u. membership out of the kindness of it's hard because highly motivated ukrainians fighting a proxy war against russia means others won't have to do. or people are very much motivated, very much, so we're fighting for rights for freedoms, for life. and now we're fighting for survival. and this is the highest of our motivation, but we're also fighting to be equal members of us. i believe that today we're

showing everyone that's exactly what we are. the european union is going to be much stronger with us. that's for sure. and inspiring words from a president who's political legitimacy has devolved into that of a dictators. but i. so as he was dreaming of a fast track to you, membership at the start of rushes, military operation, 2 years on and he's still dreaming. ukraine is on the right track, it is ready for negotiations. however, this does not mean that there are no reforms left. that's needed to be continued. obviously they are needed. they can be continued during the accession negotiations . therefore, it cannot guarantee, but i can say that i really hope that negotiations will begin in june, at least for the wednesday this time, it looks like these purport a do negotiations are likely to take place political as well as publishing similar information, saying brussels is eager to start ukraine's integration process without any guarantee is it all boils down once again to nothing more than

a more out boost in brussels officials are pushing to begin formal negotiations over ukraine, joining the european union as early as next month. according to people familiar with the matter, opening the tox would bring the morale boost to ukraine, which has been fighting a full scale russian invasion for more than 2 years and has long aspired to join the western block on top of that. diplomats from brussels and t of are reportedly trying to persuade hungry to sign off on ukraine's e u. a session. because victor orbit is anything but enthusiastic about the idea. we have set up a sub and click on the service and you run the by the evaluation of the commission . 3 out of the 7 is not home theater. so there is no reason to negotiate membership of the green law. he's not the only european against you, membership for ukraine, even those countries that support it have large parts of their population that don't think it's a good idea. no wonder negotiations are set to take place at the end of june, just a couple weeks after elections for the parliament. when the wrath of unhappy voters

will no longer be relevant for politicians, no good blame europeans for not wanting to embrace key of with open arms ukraine's band. it's political opposition. it's sending people to the front by brute force and the so called president, canceled the elections that may have thrown them out of office. it's come as no surprise that that sounds anything but democratic too many people in the west and around the world. well that's across live now to sweden based political research or greg simon's for more on this. greg? good, have you on with us? what do you make of the timing of these succession talks? is there any significance to them following the use parliamentary elections as well? of course, there is no the lives of those. uh, there's no way that you would have these uh, tools scheduled before. because i mean people do not want to try. and there is anything that would destroy you but

a year with the volume it would be you guys in for them to work at one bank products and cause a mess of elliptical splits within the union. yeah. so you say there is no way they would start the talk. so start before the election. how would the exception talks likely affect the parliamentary election very negatively for those who support you? crazy it for a, this is why the not going to have them beforehand, otherwise they'll actually be held to account. and there was definitely a couple of things that the union and especially the mind strain, but establishment of the does not live. it does not live transparency and it does not like accountability. political recently reported that starting the tox would boost ukraine's morale. what do you make of that? is that really what's important here as well?

this is garbage because i mean the being strong and long a. it's a bed. lloyd sign, well, periodic promises to 30 to join the e u, which has been going on for decades. as boosting ferguson brown is not. i mean people dying. they don't want to die with the stomach, have to worry about, like, uh, so, i mean, but this is a facade, an attempt to make it look as though i, there was, i'm fond of incentives for them to take pricing and say that the ukraine joining the european union is very unpopular. how do in use citizens feel about this? are they interested at all in sponsoring your crimes? postwar economy by including it in the block? well, i think there are a couple of points to be made. one is that in spite of the mass of conditioning, all the citizens with the ego,

there's probably you'd probably be in propaganda or unless probably a, you'd propaganda. i mean, those don't, well, i mean you're, you're a result of showing that there's still a rather large chunk in spite of the they who don't want to have the best because i know the consequences. i mean, if we look at the gym and for example, it's understandable. i mean, face germany's u for union with west germany is had mass of economic consequences for germany as a whole. and i still haven't recovered. and keeping in mind that east germany is a very function was a very functional site compared to your crime. and the 2nd part of michael would be be in difference because people in the having to negotiate the cost of loving all of these different the problem is, well the slice and the ends of job loss is the industrialization. as i mean,

the crime is not a big issue in that regard with the raleigh, the survival, economic, insightful, as a size. the hon. gary and prime minister greg recently brought up the fact that cube has not fulfilled your pin commissions membership requirements. so how are these negotiations even justified if you crane you can't even fill those requirements? no, i noticed there was absolutely 0 of how you can probably to area which was distilled any, find the one. so i mean the, this raises the question is you rightly ask me, why is this discussion typing blows? and i, i would say that firstly, it's martha a, i logic a rational logic. but rather a g o to must go logic, which is probably driven from across the atlanta ride to a very client, brussels. i mean, the bottom line couldn't be

a more subservient to washington. then it'd be one house in the possession size. you'd be filling whatever they ask will imply. yeah, along the same lines cube has just wrapped up. it's extreme mobilization practices and it's postponed as presidential elections in. definitely. what do you make of the you're turning a blind eye to all of that. this is most surprise, the poker's, the is one of the a use drags and strains and domain, but they showed every time they saw it on this new dry energy by sort of guys that mean every time that there was a possibility, we'll be able to be this for most, for board in the world, which i talked about, and i managed to prove otherwise. i mean, every time they were to was eva washington strategic narrative. but as it was to play with them, it was jobs like the cry awful that may have to be around. usually

a deal. they followed every time. right. personally, but that greg simon's typical research or thank you for to palestinian red crescent. paramedics have been killed in is really showing on the southern guys and the city of rasa. it comes as the un warned to aid supplies for the embattled enclave. simply don't meet the demand. we show actually the porch, this attack detect home displaced people. and it demonstrates that there is no safe place in gaza at all. we have um distribute as an enormous amount for central medicine medical supplies set. but it's not enough. i mean like this is such an overwhelming, overwhelming these off, sorry, is not enough. know when that would be a sustain ceasefire, and it would be entry roots into gas, which are properly managed. when there is a d confliction mechanism, which actually facilitates supports

a much more if it's possible. ahmed, the humanitarian disaster unfolding in the enclave. agencies have been left exasperated after a new us made here use to transport aid to guys it broke apart and began to sink the damage sustained by this laws in p. a 2 weeks off to begin operating. expose the destruction for the destruction that it is. it's taking 2 and a half months to build the p a and deliver the claim to $1000.00 metric tons of age, which is a drop in the ocean compared to what's needed in gaza every day. the deposit suspicious, small, stablish close at the station and put small lives at risk of the pair built out of cost of $320000000.00 was only put into service on may 17th, but after less than 2 weeks of operation and the pair was damaged, by a combination of bad weather and rough seas, the pentagon said sections of the structure needed repairs. so it's been total way

to the is really part of asked audit to be fixed. and i could take at least a week founder of muslim legal has on shibley's sets, rather than worrying about his peer that you wish. so it should just be pressuring israel to stop the war. it's laughable. the, the, the, the peer is a joke. if america really cared about the palestinians, they would stop sending bombs that israel is dropping on palestinian citizens. they would really could, could end the war and saving a war, they would end the genocide. it's one side. it's literally a nuclear, super by power. rene bombs on refugees burning children alive, people in tents who've been displaced and they, they've driven them out of their homes, told them to go to so called safe zones, and the bomb, the safe zones. this, it hasn't happened once or twice. it has happened daily. you can't accidentally keep killing that many civilians. when you accidentally killed $40000.00 civilians, it's no longer an accident. it's clearly intentional and the use of supporting that

. so i think the, the peer was a complete joke. even the air drops of humanitarian aid are a disgrace. in fact, i just saw some footage of a young child who was killed when the visa, so called 2 minutes or an air drops, fell on her and killed her. many people have actually died with these humidity on your drops falling on them or falling in the sea and people trying to go get it and drowning to death. so if america really cared about the palestinians, they wouldn't spend hundreds of millions building appear that doesn't even work. the us can put pressure that us can force this genocide to stop tomorrow. the problem is that us doesn't want to, that is the problem. the reason being us politicians like committee haley likely the graham like by didn't himself have received millions and millions of dollars from the is really lobby. so these american politicians, they're not working for the american people. they're not working for human rights. and they are basically, agents of a, for an entity. i mean, well,

a us senator has sparked outrage after he like into the idea of gaza operation to americans use of the atomic bomb against japan. i bring this up and nobody likes here and it, but i know what my country did when we were attacked by the japanese where the war with japan and germany, we did what was necessary to protect our way of life. wasn't disproportionate to use atomic weapons to end the world, we couldn't afford to lose. so this idea of the international community, your question considers israel, the problem i reject that these charges are false. they're blood libel against the jewish people. but of course, there is to has all being says, statements like these, expose the divide between washington's rhetoric and actions. we should appreciate the madness of graham's words because it's quite unprecedented. actually, the united states,

as senior politicians are exposing the fact that it's increasingly becoming a perio state on the international stage. it would have been on thinkable to hear these kinds of remarks and words may be a decade ago or in the united states. still attempted to maintain false, leaving them still, but even then at least tried to maintain the veneer of a moral high ground lecturing others about human rights and international law. now it's openly exposing itself is a complete variety of state. it's just a blanket admittance of the last long standing here. popular see of the united states is position as a global hedge them on within the unipolar world order. he's saying it blankly. the united states gets to violate these norms of international law and human rights. and no one else is the problem, grams words what he's not aging proper consideration into is that the name of international human rights and international law has been used by the united states as a weapon with which to um, to protects and enforce its global hegemony against countries that are dest aligned

with it. the livelihoods of palestinian farmers in the west bank had been delta, a massive blow after raging fires devastated their crops in the northern jordan valley. however, as the area is regularly used for as rarely, military drills, questions are being raised as to whether this was a natural disaster. r t 's maria from ocean to picks up the story. smiles the palestinian farmer steps carefully so the ashes as he inspects his field. last week's fire 8, around 170000 square meters of his communities, land destroying vital crops. all these, all of which do you see how it is all done, were planted annually harvested and use it for making bread and feeding, always cheap and large store vc. it was old, burned in the field, so no one will benefit from it. the inside agriculture season was lost, the cost of seats pesticides, and being ty, season was lost. mazda did,

we calls how the fire started, and such dry weather, with temperatures reaching forward to degrees celsius, with the gross easily ignites, the strong winds typical of this region. quickly find the flames, causing the fire to spread rapidly. mostly believes the fire was parked by israeli military trails conducted cynthia by army base. and the southern feature that was sold just traded in this area and that was shooting small crows immediately. and 5 started spread into the agricultural lands and pastures. the fi also rich, the military company of the area, and these running new fi brigades and civil defense forces and plains immediately arrived to prevent the fire from reaching demetri accounts and jewish settlements that these are other side. one defies, break out. allows the slides to expand on the protecting the settlements and military facilities. a novelty is the palestinians farmer leave it in the occupied

west bank, where these really presence is marked by hundreds of jewish settlements and military bases. he believes these fire is on ultimate accidents. that's positive, as well as long term strategy. elana. most of these really use this nature zones to control these lance and empty them with the stance. all means of pressure and intimidation were used against us and the then a metric zones, and military training, especially as the and spa materials are held during the dry season of crops every year. they've done this every year, purposely, they don't do exercises. oh yeah, but they focused on the p, which one the crops i dried palestinian officials from the to boss government rates responsible for these area code the sentiments of local farmers. let me have some of these really occupation did not allow police team and firefighters and trucks to reach the sites. to distinguish these fires, i said frankly, there is no solution because these fire started by the will condition in the jordan

valley are part of the program prepared to displace posting in families from here. but devastating fire is just one of the dangers posed by the proximity of the military base. common drills leave behind a significant amount of waste contaminating the area. and unexploded devices that are like taking bombs for their locals. just at least mine lice on agricultural land on the land. we cultivate. this has been to us for the people with him when we where i can get him and this down for solve it on the, on the previously solid. and so show us where detectives gps coordinates were taken and they were photographed and documented the agent that listed in the family here that hasn't had data or wounded due to these training side to the highway is one of the many is really military base is scattered across the west bank, this particular one resides in the middle over the area, housing around $350.00 pounds, being in families for many of them, the daily reality of living near an army,

outpost whose fault with numerous friends the past where they've been living for decades they have no other place to go home or run to forced to do or live in the shadow of this unsettling neighbor, raven ocean isle t reporting from northern jordan valley. a huge fire that tore through a warehouse and the russian capital early thursday morning has been put out to emergency helicopters, worse and dumping tons of water in an attempt to bring the situation under control . containers of flammable liquids being housed inside the building. our center has made efforts to put out the fire, especially difficult, at its maximum point. the infernal covered an area of 4000 square meters, is no information yet on any potential casualties. to stay with us, i'll be back with much more in about 30 minutes. in the meantime, be sure to visit our website. archie. com for the very latest breaking news and uptake by the.
