ah ah, moscow agrees to drastically, would you say it's a military activity makia for the sake of successful pays talk? following the latest round of negotiations with ukraine also ahead the coma attention of the ukrainian of course it's, it's been significantly degraded, which allows us to focus on the main object. the liberation of dom russia is military will now focus it's ethics on the eastern front, according to defense minister. so a showing you there was also warned european countries against sending weapons to kia questions at 4th, if they, they close to fully re taking the key done by city of mario pole. as a humanitarian crisis continues to unfold for thousands of civilian, don't cool. in the crossfire that looked to be,

we went shopping for groceries and there is no food in the city. there is nothing. there is no city or a we have nothing to eat. the city is destroy the boomerang effect of western economic sanctions against russia is now being felt in africa at feel price is thought in kenya with the country being hit by a massive supply shortage. i have not earned any money all day. i have not found any work and there's no fuel in town. i just arrived here at the petrol station. there is no fuel left. the price is very high. ah very well welcome. this is alta international with the world news update is good to have you with us. now russia says it has received a draft deal that could see ukraine become another line that neutral country. as

most, most of the proposal handed over by the ukranian delegation during the latest round of p stokes, russia in turn, has agreed to drastically deescalate its military operation, nicky f. but he and finishing a decision was made to radically reduce military activity in the key of in churney cough direction sitting in the school. we proceed from the fact that key of will take the relevant key decisions and that conditions must be created for further normal work. as we just heard, russia has agreed to significantly reduce its military offensive into parts of ukraine. and on top of that, the russian delegation has also said that it's received written guarantees from ukraine that the country is committed to being a neutral country, and that it's going to stay away from nuclear weapons. on the other hand, we also heard from the ukrainian delegation that they say they've put forward a concrete plan for security guarantees that will involve a number of countries including some in the un security council to enforce that.

and we also heard from the head of the russian delegation, who said that on a meeting may be possible soon between the countries of both russia and ukraine. this is something that ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has long said. he wanted to see happen. all that needs to happen for this to take place is for the foreign ministers of both countries to sign their initials on a piece deal. also, solely if we have agreed and are proposing a solution according to which a meeting of the heads of state is possible simultaneously with the initial thing of a treaty by foreign ministers. especially as meanwhile, it is possible to discuss political details the night before these talk started to take place the western media was added again, spreading hysterical unconfirmed claims. these fake stories accused russian, a quote, quote unquote hard liners from po for poisoning, a number of people that were connected to these negotiations earlier this month, one of the main victims of this fantasy was russian billionaire, raman abramoff ich,

and this guy actually was caught on camera today at the negotiations, looking fine and healthy, i even saw him. he walked right by me and he did indeed look healthy. so at least bbc did put a issue in apology for what is called a mistake. but moscow considers this just one episode in a larger information war. chased him so much from this is part of the information campaign, part of the information war. it doesn't correspond to reality. they are in istanbul now. and this is part of the war, and you need to carefully filter the information. so the one story of moscow trying to poison its own people on its negotiating team fell flat. but here is a real story for you. a dennis career of was actually on ukraine's delegation until the ukrainian secret police killed him. and there reasoning there were given that they gave for that. they said that he was accused of treason, even though no evidence was given for that and no trial was held. so it's certainly as ironic that the western media are making up stories like that one. this is

something that actually happened to the list and ortho martin summers. this is telling that mainstream media go into a frenzy, over implausible russian poisoning claims that are practically silent when ukraine murders its own peace. negotiators, the losing the great deliverance that has been denied by the ukrainian solid for example. but of course, a very significant developments was the fascination of, or curious a so the 2 weeks ago, which was definitely did happen. and of course has hardly been mentioned at all in western media world. don't forget an awful lot of money, spend taxpayers money and, and also corporate lobbying to try and steer events. and this whole idea of information warfare is itself questionable. it should be the case that journalists should basically abide by the basic principles of journalism, which is you don't tell miss miss truce under the idea that this,

that the should be any kind of information war is wrong. while meanwhile, rushes military has completed its initial objectives in ukraine and can now focus his efforts on don't pass. that's according to russia's defense minister. he was held a press conference for the 1st time in weeks. his id is paul asleep with the details . the washing defense minister said that the ukrainian army had been significantly damaged. he said that the air force and their defense systems had been to, quote, practically destroyed, giving the russian superiority. at the same time, he said that the naval forces to, quote, had, ceased to exist. as for the ground forces, the assault forces, he said that they faced significant losses. the minister went on to say that this operation would continue until russia had achieved all its objectives and it was being conducted in stages. fill them with that you. generally speaking, the primary objectives of the 1st stage have been

a competition with the combat potential of the ukranian forces has been significantly degraded, which allows us to focus on the main of the liberation of dom loan as an album. and to say that moscow continues to follow the statements by individual nato countries as to supplying a croft and a defense system to ukraine. and he said that should this materialize at that point, moscow would make a decision in terms of how to adequately respond. he again criticized western countries for getting involved in this conflict to time visit. this is up the we consider the position of western countries which is supplying lisa weapons to ukraine to be irresponsible. the uncontrolled distribution of these weapons to the population of mercenaries is only aggravating the situation and could eventually pose a threat to europeans themselves. corrosion, talking about moving there is the minister said that in the past 2 weeks alone, some 600 mercenaries had been killed. and that more than 500 had left ukraine,

presumably to go back to the countries. he also reference the number of conscripted soldiers here in russia saying that conscription levels of this year were lower than they had been in the past. and that note, newly recruited soldiers were being sent to ukraine for the pentagon analyst, my common live said western media view as are only being shown one side of the story and ukraine. it tells me that they fear that russia feels, it has the military objective and has accomplished its military goal in the west, we're here in just the opposite. we're hearing that russians are, are stalemated, they have suffered terrific losses. so we were only getting one side of the story, but it's refreshing to hear the assessment of the military chief on the russian side. give the russian analysis when you're arming your entire population like that

with assault weapons and military style weapons. ah, it can be, it can create a condition of insurgency if you will, that that could occur and, and, and actually pick, continue to prolong conflict because of the killings that would, that would, that would occur on both sides. if they are potentially used in enough offensive fashion, then that becomes and that will mean an implied native involvement. and that could spark even greater hostility and maybe an extension into the nato countries themselves. this is something i know number of nato countries do not want . well, as we mentioned earlier, rushes military operation to help the people of dumbass will push on. despite the

latest move to de escalate the offensive in the key of an shinagle of regions in the countries north. some of the heaviest fighting of the conflict is ongoing. in the republic of dawn, yet square thousands of ukrainian troops have dug in deep. meanwhile, officials in the neighboring republic of ganske say, the territory has mostly been cleared from occupying forces as intensive fighting continues in the coastal don't yet republic. city of mario poll, russian forces say they're advancing and i've taken full control over much of this dizzy sonia's trip. to recently raised her flag for a key administration building, marielle po, residence of returning to the city after leaving to receive food and medicine, looked at me. we went shopping for groceries. there is no food in the city. there is nothing. there is no city or though don't we have nothing to eat. the city is destroyed before the offensive began. they destroyed our city. all the shops were

plundered. we can't buy anything. there is nothing at all. but what other are you leaving for the 1st time? yes, well, how was the trip? fine, only now there are 2 big gears. very long. very garden, we took some water. we wanted to fill up and get medicines. there is no medicine anywhere. how has the situation become here better? yes, the situation calm down la, corresponded raymond cancer reports on the destruction in the dumbass at city of marielle pole with local residence. continuing to endure shelley, we are now heading out to the us sensor. how far mario pals, city, where the fighting is still. apparently it taking place according to the next people's republic of militia and officials, most of the city has now been liberated from the ukrainian army and nationalist battalion, assault the city of ha marie. opal has been under shelling for nearly half

a month now. the entire town, his devastated buildings lie in horrible. you can hear shelling right now as well. it's still continues. the people have been forced to live in a bomb shelters without food, water, or electricity. i'm about to visit one of these bomb shelters right now. and the year the stories held, the people that had been forced to live on the ground for nearly a month. people in these bomb shelters and these basements live without food, water, or electricity, has been happening for about a month. so ha, lee, and some friends of mine. i got some bread from canned goods, water for the nearly 7 to people that live in the basement alone. and of course for the kids we got some chocolate says, well, what good. if i did what i showed it on the 20th century. dizzy and william did it

myself on jefferson. yeah. docs. vince you got so much that ok, well next door. oh, donna york marie viola shushing the to shield, you know, was it to, to pull to use it here? well, it's just one little swollen, belly, believe blue union with bob asking delete what still mom peter won't let us. he personal digital repeat. that portion is all over kilograms, dimes out. we deal with nol guy. we're guys a book to build on video, more children because this is a quite a bit more glorious to the segregated the concrete political, electric water heater. java total can work with the quote that we have with the will not ship all nature in his life more to see him when you had julia. all last, qualitative pa, daily. most of us still with me as well. he all middle and move. it was what he really sure 40 to come. so the question i need the content on you so good you to

one yet up. so you are the nature one yet. what did you mean? i could ask the what that know if wellness li just don't be didn't get your right. you'll get that. you thought that funny that but i can remember your throw them into i did lately. what burrell the livery to i'm not able to do a little study at what i mean was instead that he was a good time said to, i don't want to present or at that his new mother. not all of them will hit the roof. a said the old will be marin of the ukrainian city of bella clair and hawk of region has the residence to accept humanitarian aid being handed out by russian forces. yvonne that sold the void has now come under criticism from ukrainian media where he's been branded a collaborator for accepting assistance from russia. but the math says he said simply doing everything he can to help the people of his city. we decided to stay with you, although there was an option to leave for western ukraine. the kiev is giving us

nothing right now, but the russian military has offered its help. we are organizing distribution points for humanitarian aid. we will restore the vital activities of our city. we will meet with russian forces so that we can get access to electricity, water and everything else. it remains your own decision whether to accept their health or not. and use largest economy germany, most energy companies have said they will not pay for their gas imports in roubles . according to the countries chancellor and his remarks come as the 31st of march deadline looms for moscow's requirement, the so called unfriendly countries which have sanctioned russia switch beg, gas payments to the ruble differently, most german buyers of russian gas will continue to pay for it in euros, in accordance with the currency fixed in their contracts, with the name moscow has responded by saying it will not provide gas for free. so it's either rubles or bust. russia accounts for about 40 percent of the use gas

imports. and the fallout over the conflicts in ukraine, the block is moving to cut its dependence on russian energy supplies. and as recently, inc deals by more expensive liquefied natural gas from the us instead, most is permanent representative to the e. you say europe seems to be seeking to inflict some massive economic damage on a population on businesses. what does the g 7? it's an informal glove of a number of countries. all them excel of falling into the category of those who have been produced sanctions against russia. so they are point of view will hardly be decisive and what happens all these measures are they are an additional impact on the old lady over here today. and then the energy sector over the european union, which was aggravated not as

a result of anything that russia was doing, but as the result of sanctions being introduced by the european union and other western countries against the russian energy sector. definitely, there will be a major impact because i according to, oh, i got the message and no energy specialist that matter. oh no, there is no other alternative source in the short term. that can fill the gap. should russian get supply be terminated? now we will have to see the european union is speaking of perspective regarding, oh, we need of the russian and the supplies, but that will take time. i don't want to speaker how many years,

but certainly it's many years they economic fall out from western sanctions against russia is now spreading to more countries and continents. consumers across europe and africa and now bearing the bronze of the backlash and made store and food and fuel prices. thousands of child drivers have formed roadblocks in madrid, calling for the resignation of spain's transport minister ivan sky rocketing fuel prices. is the latest developmental test in the spanish capital letter a week, maybe can normally backlash the western sanctions against russia. well, the boom around effects that they can all make sanctions is now being felt not only in europe, but on the african continents as well. kenya has raised diesel and petrol prices by 5 low, cool shillings. it's the highest level in history that may be expected to significantly raise the cost of living in the country where the majority of households rely on kerosene and petroleum gas,

the cooking. here's what some of the locals have been saying. i have come from various places all over this town looking for fuel. we have moved all around. i am even forced to push my motorbike this motor bike and i got it on loan. i still have to pay for it and i have not earned any money all day. i have not found any work and there's no fuel in town. i got the price started at $1.00 o, 6 canyon shillings, and just keeps going up. i mean, it's now more than $145.00 shillings. we've been having a big problem here in nairobi with fuel. i just arrived here at the petrol station . there is no fuel left and the price is very high. according to experts, many of the products used to make petrol and diesel come from russia and ukraine is ok, so because there is war there, we're having these problems over here making fuel prices shoot up and also creating a supply shortage. i have traveled all the way from the city of caps a bit and i'm trying to get fuel for my car. it has become a challenge because we don't know what is happening last week last week we had the same problem. we don't know if the problem is also in other cities or if it's only

like this year in nairobi, i am forced to leave my car here. now. i don't see anything that i can do with it. we don't have a solely ever such fellow at the university of hamburg, thinks it's up to the people of europe to persuade that government to stop handicapping that economies. american imperialism is once again showing an ugly face and is at the most ugly. when you look at african nations that are now really struggling and in the future with the lack of fertilizers, for example, the food situation there will only get worse. yes. when we are seeing the truck approach as for example, those are the 1st signs of people saying no to the politicians because they take their own interests into their own heights and go to the streets. and if this continues, if we see more protest through our hero, then i believe that your full and team petitions will grow a spine and talk to by them a different way and they will tell them stop. we must,

you cannot make distraction and who must save the economic future of our continent . the solomon islands, prime minister, has hit back a criticism of it secure to deal with beijing, saying opposition to that from australia is very insulting. and new chinese military base may sooner pay at the pacific ocean nation, but the prospect to sponsor panic in australia. traditionally the islands at chief defense partner, we've been aware of the risks right across the pacific. this is why we doubled ad development assistance into the pacific. the reports that we've seen, and not a surprise to us at a reminder of the constant pressure and threats that present in our region to our national security. we will be simply foolish, a sitting duck to swallow that position and do nothing to protect the infrastructure gifted to us by our friends. but the solomon islands have not only

traditionally rely on camber for defense. australia has also been a primary source of investment in the islands economy and that could now also change with the aging, making financial in roads there as well. trying to point out that the solomon islands are silver in states with the right to determine that own policies. total hotel should al, searching for you. i mean, that change on why, why are some individuals concerned about china, solomon islands, cooperation, when the government and the people of the solomon islands, genuinely welcoming the international community can make a fair judgment. and the people of the solomon islands and other pacific island countries can see this clearly any attempt to disrupt and undermine mutually beneficial cooperation between china and pacific island countries is doomed to fail . we discussed western governments concerns have chinese encroachment with a panel of experts. solomon islands, together with about 2000, i was

a pacific island countries, our summary nations, and they have the right to deter mean that economic and political relations as well as how they want to position themselves. it's very hypocritical that australia can send it battle shapes to the south china sea and other location, thousands of miles away from its borders. and at the same time, it has a his, if it every time that someone else kind of thousands of kilometers away from its own and what it defines is its sphere of influence. but i think that on this particular case, we are overreacting. i think china will not only secure more agreements with the solomon islands, but i expect happen. your guinea, not, not far from the solomon islands to federal suit, also should be noted the solomon islands have quite a few interesting resources and metals, and other raw materials,

which i'm sure be developed better relations with china. definitely will be help because what china hampering onto the table is economic development. packages of development proposals, grades are connectivity of all kinds. for australia, they should re lies that they were the colonizing country in australia. they really took away the rights of the regional people, australia should really look at its own human records abuses, especially addressed the original people before they should have any expectation that south was big region. countries would look at australia as an equal country with a perfect human rights record. we hear day or night from western leaders about the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity and all these jazz. but

that principle needs to be applied across the board. tell them an island is just a case study, but it's happening all over the world. it's happening in the middle list. it's happening in se asia. it's happening in latin america. i call these phenomena the phenomena of the sandwich countries. these are small countries as fine as of all of a sudden in a position that have to consider the interest of bigger powers. i think we're going to see more tensions rather than few fewer unfortunately. and i mean that there are other island nations, not also in the southern hemisphere and in the same latitude as the solomon islands, talking about diego garcia, for example. it's farther away, but it's still the same idea. these old powers want to keep these little states to use as a support for their own interest. the washington has announced

$682000000.00 in humanitarian aid to ukraine as part of the us budget for next year. the questions are now being raised. they have a western efforts to offer relief, a care of while the desperate needs of populations in some other countries have not attracted such funding. if we care so much about people suffering in ukraine, we should care as much about people in somalia. the kena facet, south sudan, pakistan where the scale of need is high. it's so frustrating that other countries don't get the level of support they're entitled to were struggling because they don't have the same geopolitical element. well, ukraine is in the spotlight. the human is terry and is also in yemen, which has been called the worst crisis in the world, is going from the way the un has trying to raise more than $4000000000.00 and $8.00 for the arab country. but it's so far received barely a 1000000000 you have been is far from the only suffering state that isn't getting enough help from western economy. with

the the the me ah,

the secretary general as the norwegian refugee council says, lives are at stake in many states around the world from lack of age, particularly in yemen. we are struggling to meet the needs all over the world. yemen has often lack support the rest of the world. the humanitarian organizations are overstretch. we are under funded. we should be able to respond to mass sim needs caused by the war and ukraine. $10000000.00 people displaced in the month. and at the same time, be able to meet the needs of yemen and gone his dog or syria and all about the places with great needs. well, the consequences on, on the funding in yemen will be loss of life as it will be in all of these are the places where we are lacking sources. it's still the same 10 west and donors that he's carrying alone basically

a human attain. we're what needs worldwide the norway, sweden are among the top 7 donors on earth. we need minimal bonus. in addition to, to those who are useful, alice many thanks for choosing auto international, you can say up to speed on all the latest news opinion and debates on our website, tati duncan, ah, so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved, to become absolutely excruciating, but nobody's clean finger on you. you are doing it to yourself and we started

adopting those techniques when i was station in mosul. among them, wordpress positions sleep deprivation. and using hypothermia is already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrants and children, whatever you do or more, he comes home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america war later sacrificed for the shimmer of effective interrogation. ah .
