3:02 pm
which saw her raid sirens sounding, insert populated areas, unreported gunshots with several people taken to hospital. let's take a look at the situation and how it looked on the ground. 2 c oh i oh i well, what is occurring in the contested region began after plans where a 90 to bon serbian caught registrations from august 1st to make at serbs entering the region require permits. all such plans have not been postponed until september while the last sizable spot between sir b on cost of okay. nearly a year ago when the self proclaimed republic again moved to a ban. cars with serbian license plates and deployed forces on its northern border
3:03 pm
would serve be a back then. both sides managed to settled the dispute, not constable, unilaterally declared its independence in 2008. but many countries, including russia, china, spain, and serbia don't recognize it. the spanish prime minister recently added that the self proclaimed declaration of cost of independence represents a violation of international law. while r t journalist helena lynch is in belgrade, she sees serbs of already lost a lot in conflicts with cost and the threat of a new one must be prevented by the international community. there is a very interesting thing happening right now because the, the decision has been made after the advice of american ambassador a month that has been given by this delay or postponing the new measures is actually something that will give them time to negotiate in brussels. they have
3:04 pm
already been invited by european union officials to do that because driven people do not have the right that they need to have. there is a strong will from washington, you know, to for newsroom on for new war in balcony. and i think he, in this moment, he really needs to keep people calm. but since you already lost a lot in that region to the president said yesterday that he need to remind again, all international community and all the countries that are supporting and that are recognized cost wise, independent state to think about international law. again, over time, the tangle of cost of in serbian relations has become increasingly complicated in drawing ever more parties into play with the breakdown. here's our t contributor rachel marston. why is it that wherever and whenever american officials, papa drama and chaos tends to follow whether it's ukraine, taiwan,
3:05 pm
or now, what was once known as yugoslavia that is before the us dragged its nieto allies into a mission to break up the federal republic in the late nineties, officially, u. s. president bill clinton cited humanitarianism at the time and the need to protect ethnic albanian muslims of the serbian province of kosovo as a reason for carving it out and using it as a launching pad for nato led attacks on serbia. but the real reason had everything to do with the desire to isolate what it considered to be a major russian ally in europe, serbia that is in the wake of the cold war. so the west is exploited, kosovo in the past, against its geopolitical competitor, just like it's doing in taiwan against china, or by supporting the neo nazi as all fighters in ukraine against russia. by backing the syrian rebels in an attempt to overthrow president bashar al assad of syria, back in the movie id in, in afghanistan against the soviets during the cold war,
3:06 pm
or the congress against the sandinista as nicaragua. and while the list just goes on and on. so it's no doubt just a big coincidence that u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking showed up in kosovo just as the latest round of trouble popped off this week. and that the president of kosovo was talking well about russia. as you know mister secretary put in, we'll continue to try to destabilize europe also through the western balkans. we will continue to need the steadfast support of the united states, as well as our european allies, to make sure that the plans of fresh as well as its proxy in the region are stopped . we'll look forward alongside the prime minister to discuss the reforms, especially on full of flock that we are addressing in our country. and i want to thank you for that support as well as for every step of the way that we have made. and at the same time, with the support that we are receiving from the united states in the area of defense. the now is that kosovo is refusing to recognize serbian documents and license plates. but why would it suddenly do that? why now?
3:07 pm
what motivation could it possibly have? serbia is a thorn in washington. cy, amid the ukraine conflict and steadfastly refuses to succumb to western pressure, to sacrifice its relationships with russia, and to harm its own economy in the name of ukraine. do we want to be part of the west conflict with russia? do we want to forget all these decades in which russia supported us? do we want to forget all these centuries of slavic brotherhood? if you want to stick to territorial integrity and sovereignty as the most important principle of international politics start with serbia? kosovo has long been used as a western pressure valve when it needs to dial up tensions on serbia and indirectly on its ally. moscow. not yet a member of the european union belgrade has instead been moving into closer cooperation with iran, expanding trade ties and refusing to join you sanctions against
3:08 pm
a run. it's also discussing military cooperation with russian military allied belarus, and its interior minister just said last week that it won't be nato's foot soldier in the alliance. his conflict with russia. ukraine has also suddenly inserted itself into the tensions in kosovo as though it doesn't have enough to deal with already at home. if serbia invades kosovo, we should defend the kosovars. ukraine is ready to act with our troops on the ground. serbia is trying to start an aggressive war precisely according to putins method. as i said, sir b as putin's trojan horse in europe. war anywhere in the world is terrible. the fact that keith doesn't officially recognize kosovo as anything other than a part of serbia doesn't seem to phase this ukrainian official, nor does the fact that some ukrainians actually fought alongside serbs against the nato alliance and its proxies. back in the late nineties. all that seems to matter
3:09 pm
right now is the fact that kosovo is willing to sing on. hugh from the western hymn book when it comes to ukraine, allows nato to park its largest base in europe on it so well. so it's hardly a surprise that nato is already talking about jumping in and helping kosovo. they're pretty keen on this. it seems like blinking visit it. no doubt just has a knack for coincidentally, being in the right place at the right time to another of our headline stories today. the 1st green shipment by sea agreed as part of a deal between kia and moscow has left the creamy in port of odessa. the 1st such movement in month oh, flying under the fly, gold sierra leone. the cargo ship resolutely is said to deliver amaze, to the port of his bow. by tuesday, after travelling through a black sea corridor,

3:11 pm
which will relieve the global food market where prices have been rapidly rising over the last few months. now ukraine and some of the partners have been a very skeptical about this deal when it was the 1st side and they even started making provisions for alternative routes by trade or by land. however, it looks like after the leaving of this shipment, the deal is working and hopefully very soon, a lot more experts from the port of odessa and from russia will reach the global food market. let's get some updates from the battle ground. now the russian defense ministry claims to us supplied high mars rocket launchers have been destroyed in a strike on a local manufacturing content park of more than $250.00 nationalists and mercenaries were also said to have been killed in the same attack which reportedly led to

3:13 pm
and troops have learned to see up russian artillery. and in these aspect, in this regard, russia has demonstrated total superiority day and night artillery pounds away at ukrainian positions. you can tell where the front lines lay, just by sound alone. that is the sound of a full salvo of grad multiple rocket launch systems far away as ukrainian positions witcher entirely to close up on that hill over the left are ukrainian forces. those are the destinations. you may hear them now. it is not entirely one sided. ukrainian artillery answers back often blindly through

3:17 pm
that the added states violated and broke. let's review. united states is determined to lead by the power of our example through diplomacy and coordination with allies and regional partners. we've developed a proposal to secure a mutual return to full implementation of the joint comprehensive plan of action to ensure that iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. now it's also important to note that in the last few years, the united states has withdrawn from a number of key nuclear agreements that were established at the end of the cold war . and it's also important to note that the russian leadership has pointed out that the united states has frozen counter terrorism conversations and conversations about fighting terrorism with russia on now. what is being referred to as far fetched, pre tax corporation between russia and the united states in the field of anti terror is now basically frozen washington, unilaterally and under far fetched pretext, decided to suspend profile meetings within the high level dialogue under the
3:18 pm
auspices of the foreign ministries of brush in the united states, which were held in vienna in 2018 to 2019 and were useful for both sides. the united states is seen basically a withdrawal from the nuclear deal with iran. the world is washed as united states withdrew from nuclear treaties. so we shall see how this meeting of the non proliferation treaty and it's review takes place that the un headquarters in manhattan or turning attention knowledge to the middle east. thunder rack, where thousands of protesters continue to occupy the parliament building in a fit in against attempts to form the countries next government. these are some of the latest pictures from baghdad where raleigh's turned into flushes with security forces. the protesters are mainly the followers of the influential shia cleric most alford year. they are demanding early elections on the us thing of his political

3:20 pm
buildings are located, they interact with representatives of al, saw the supporters in particular with regard to the safe passage, the parliament buildings behind me, you can see a security checkpoint with all 5 support has got to get these cars passing in the direction of the parliament building along to the side race. they have the permission to enter as for others who want to get in, they can only go on foot. this is the gateway to the green side. more and more people are heading here. but at the moment, that number is not very large, and perhaps the heat is forcing the satirists and others to arrive a little late. meanwhile, inside the parliament building patriotic songs and chance against the united states, a herd which also contained criticism of iran, the demonstrators making many demands that the no longer limited to protesting the nomination of mohammed al sir dani from the alliance. but also include other demands related to regime change. constitutional changes an electoral procedures as stated by mac, tada al sada, all as mentioned in october's elections,

3:22 pm
to say made which leads to foreign intervention in order to free body is group. this is what the americans prepared for the country in order to better manipulate this country. and mainly against iran, and that joke will take an agenda containing the region which it on china and russia loved them from heavy influence in the middle east. so these military okay, to story generating quite a lot of interest in the u. k. now, almost a 100 artifacts taken from africa by british colonial forces at the end of the 19th century could be $100.00 by the university of oxford. the news comes after nigeria made out official request earlier this year. now those 97 items and all are religious,
3:23 pm
the tiny handful of the thousands of artifacts held in museums outside the african continent and african officials are seeking the return of many from the miniature to the mc carp. some are concerned that the british government, in particular, has been invasive, offering no commitments on restitution. and specifically, the british museum, which holds an extensive collection from across africa, but is protected by a law which only allows repatriation under certain circumstances. luxury is applying pressure to the u. k. government. so those laws in particular are amended, but indeed other african countries save out a lot more needs to be done as well. why should we allow those so called museums, which in fact are crime scenes and houses of stolen goods to dictate to us telling us that we have to prove that the items belong to us? as much as we celebrate the return of former conga leaves prime minister,
3:24 pm
patrice bloomberg, tooth from belgium. let's not celebrate too much. let's remind ourselves that the work has just started. earlier i heard the thoughts of other mood garber, the 2nd who had been in the running for next years, nigerian presidential election. he believed the west should pay compensation as well for looting masses of artifacts for century this to me is what it breaks. who actually is just in negative reminder of the situation that we found was in africa, judith maloney, others you, you know, colonialism to some degree is some kind of a crime against humanity. if chemical often can look to just robles of water sources, but also of our identity and these identities, where those are the fact that we help resolve over centuries of our existence that argues toll. you know, we are looted by going to miss you. london, belgium, on so many other european capitals. so to find the auditorium,
3:25 pm
what jobs calling it means that you have to pay, you know, for the charges of your objects. what tell we are we're expected to celebrate in order to know something about how we might need to keep them from was. so this is really not, it would be a stuck remind. i'd really document my dog used to be of africa. i'm calling on some team that we mostly reject on was never allowed to ever exist when you suffer a game from africa to asia, 7 tons of radioactive water have leap from a nuclear power plant in japan. the mohammed facility was the 1st reactor to be restarted in the country last year, after the focus shima disaster in 2011. according to a report published by the station operator, the water, it didn't leave the nuclear plants and did not have an impact on the environment. they contaminated water contains traces of triton and other radioactive materials.
3:26 pm
an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the incident. the reactor, which is more than 40 years old, was temporarily holsted in october, due to non compliance with anti terror security requirements. and just to show you this as well, a protest held on sunday in fukushima. it came after japan nuclear regularly approved plans to release well over a 1000000 tons of wastewater from the city's nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean. the waste water was used to cool the nuclear reactors after the accident, their site, korea, china. the express concern about the discharge, which protestors fear, could have a negative impact on lasting, was a local industry. one in particular, fishermen take great care of the ocean, not to mention the fish. so i think it's no surprise that no matter how much the tokyo power electric company dilutes the treated water,
3:27 pm
making it below standard and discharging it into the ocean. they cannot say that it is okay. when do they go? we are concerned that farmers and fishermen will be very badly affected because they will be discharging contaminated water into the sea for 40 years. and then with that we have held many demonstrations and rallies, and we believe that the biggest problem here is the state of democracy. i am still very angry at the government's heavy handed approach, which does not reflect or represent the will of the people that are up for this news. our books don't go too far. has more programs to get going in moments, you know, need from the rti team and myself the ah, need to come to the russian state will never be outside as i phone. and the most
3:28 pm
i'm seeing with 55 with will van in the european union. the kremlin community up machine, the state aren't russia today and split our t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube. and with the one aspect about the ongoing conflict in ukraine that stands out most is media coverage. never in the history of corporate media has coverage been so biased. one
3:29 pm
side does not stop, they are questioning. the standard narrative is akin to treason and subject to censorship. and cancellation in united states has always had a variety of tools to use and tags on other countries. economic sanctions are, are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about here. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. the ha to we have a response, we do and we can make rules for the rest. because without out there with
3:30 pm
me, oh, the people i think is 70 percent of even 80 percent of serbian people are for russians. but you know, you cannot make it like a fission or like something that you, you know, out number people who come to the book and then you make inclusion. they are pro russians are not. russo phobia means also cerebral phobia. and we were, we have passed through this so we know how.
