11:07 am
a number of shops and key way to removing indian products from their shelves. santos comments have prompted a boycott of indian goods in the gulf nation. in a statement, the b j. p said that it strongly denounces insults of any religious personalities of any religion. adding that the battiata party is strongly against any ideology that insults order means any sect or religion. let's go live that a new delhi and his ears, poverty metal is there for us. these comments of obviously angered many, many people around the world. how wide spread, though, is anti muslim sentiment there in india? you know, critics have pointed out that the very statements, the b j. p has been trying to distance it, says trauma has called fringe opinions. have become pretty common and fully acceptable by the body because of its mainstream political discourse. there is
11:08 am
a well documented history of tom b, j. p. leaders and other comment personalities close to the b, g, b, top ross making inflammatory auntie my or t anti muslim statements publicly and getting away with it. i mean, just a few months ago, at a public meeting, some problem and personalities. again, close to the top leadership at the b j. b. o called for genocide and violence against muslims and, and have gotten away with it. what's also interesting is that these 2 politicians in question have been called fringe. you know, their opinions have been called fringe opinions, but yes, a thing. they are to import to post hold other work important. both orders at the b j. p. one was a national spokeswoman and the other was a top leader in the media division in the b j. p in the national capital. so their job was to promote the b,
11:09 am
j p's ideology. so opposition parties are now asking the b j. p to take responsibility for these comments. critics have also pointed out that the actions against these to politicians have come only because of the backlash that india is facing internationally. putting the country in a very embarrassing position, diplomatically and potentially hampering trade relations in countries where, where trent eyes are, were billions of dollars. i mean envoys have been summoned and indian goods are now being that they're growing cause to boycott indian goods. all right, so internationally, this is caused a big headache for india, but politically, internally inside the country, how much of a problem is this likely to pose for prime minister modi and the b j p? so they made a fall out, was that there were multiple police complaints, a profile against these 2 politicians. there were protests on friday that turn
11:10 am
violent in the northern city of con, for dozens of people were injured. arrests are being made. the police say they have filed cases against hundreds of people. politically though, there are few people who are buying the government positions that it does respect all religions and that it does not subscribe to the ideology that these 2 spokes people and political leaders have the comments that they have made. in fact, there is again, well documented history of the indian government and the b, j. b, rejecting well documented reports bind to national rights groups and even government raising concerns about attacks on minorities in india. in fact, some of these groups, including amnesty international, have had to shop shop because they said that after their report came out, the government started intimidating their staff over here they were ready and
11:11 am

11:12 am
to an international firm is now near the recent gas field that has some 90 kilometers off the coast of israel. and this, that drilling rig is expected to start production of very soon, but the problem is lebanon. believe that the car reached gas field falls within that dispute territory. israel sees it differently, it says that this is within it's exclusive economic zone. but this is the situation back in 2011, lebanon presented a map to the united nations, and the disputed area was 860 square kilometers. now maritime. a border dispute discussions began in 2020, but a few months ago they stalled because they ruth expanded, it's claim of territory adding a further 1430 square kilometers. that is where the curvy scouts field is located,
11:13 am
but the problem is lebanon did not make this claim formal. it didn't make it legal . the president should have assigned a decree to amend the map and send it to the united nations. so lebanon's position is quite confusing with contradictory statements being made by lebanese positions which the opposition says weakens its hand in negotiations. there is a lot of reporting live from bay root planing that he thinks indeed ukrainian president vulgar may. zalinski has visited 2 towns near the front lines of the war with russia in the east and don bass region. he says he met with troops in list a chance and presented some with awards. the cities just a few kilometers from savannah. don't ask where one of the was biggest battles is taking place. the frontline trips, the ref, as the landscape is barely left the capital keep. since russia invaded russia's
