to do this with the whole was we to make rules for the rest? because without out there with mm. ah, one civilian is killed and 2 wounded as ukraine shells residential areas of the russian border town in the belgrade region. everything went great. as usual. these negotiations are always structured in a business like the concrete way, which is foreign minister is of beat about souls with basing on day one of the summit, while washington colds on china to follow us foreign policy and wine down relations with russia. on an air strike kills at least 10 people in ethiopia, great region. the territory has long faced unrest with the little response from the

international community which remain focused on ukraine a headquarters in moscow to the rest of the world. this is our see international and peter scott, and he's the top stories this. our ukraine has showed the russian border town of valor. we key in belgrade beach and killing one civilian. 2 more people were wounded in the attack. according to local authorities. with paula was partially cuts off in the town as a local sub station was damaged. the shelling targeted residential areas. 3 cars and eights houses were hit. the regions governor says that emergency services are still at the scene, but power has now been restored. this comes after more attacks on russia's belgrade region, over the last 24 hours a border, checkpoints was hits in yet year of car,

which is also in the area causing a fire at a customs facility. 6 meanwhile, ukraine says that he considers targets inside russia valid and that it will not sit idle when the opportunity comes to strike us. according to a kia official. we will return fire regardless of where they are. we don't plan to sit still. we will respond in kind and fire back at them when we get the opportunity that includes preventative strikes against rushes, critical infrastructure. well, that statement contradicts earlier claims from care of and washington, the u. s. secretary of state said that ukraine had pledged not to hit version 13 when it received high mas walk it systems, and bucky mabel, jimmy zalinski, insisted that ukraine is not interested in attacking russian territory. someone in the white house are saying that we might be using them to attack russia. look, we're not planning to attack russia. we're not interested in russian federation.

we're not fighting on their territory specifically with regard to weapon systems being provided. the ukrainians have given us assurances that they will not use these systems against targets on russian territory. are, there is a strong trust bond between ukraine in the united states. thread comes as moscow said, the deliveries of long range missiles, the key of threatened russia and would cross a red line. the knots could lead to dire consequences. when you have gotten the management, we have repeatedly stated that pumping ukraine would western weapons least a promulgation of hostilities and more civilian casualties. and brings the situation closer to the dangerous line of direct military conflicts between russia and nato. if washington decides to supply key f with longer range missiles, it will cross the red line and become a direct party to the conflict on the check. sarah founder's co director of activist group the international action center where she told me that kids threats to strike russian surgery come with the support of the u. s. every step of the way

the u. s. has violated what they said they were going to do. and frankly, ukraine has not a shred of independent action. they are every step of the way armed, trained, commanded by us forces. they make no decisions on their own. and the weapons they have or not their own, they're directly from the us and nato pipeline. so that's why it's so dangerous, and it's also a dangerous moment because from washington they see the meeting, the shanghai organization meeting leaders of the world. president, president, she and so on meeting together, actually later is more isolated than they were. you is in shock ways of economic recession on calling energy. so they're looking forward to expand because

they have no solution. and so far the war, what was their own? which was to create economic chaos in russia that did not happen. so there's extreme frustration and a mold attempt to expand the for further you know, the developments in the done yes. republic. local authorities say the ukrainian army has shelled residential areas in done in 50, leaving one woman dead. towns in the throne area. come under daily shilling from the ukrainian military, that's according to local officials. the russian defense ministry says that up to 30 ukranian troops were killed and 10 arm and the vehicles destroyed in missile strikes in the course of region. elsewhere in the southern hassan region, the ukrainian army apparently lost up to $500.00 troops and 80 armored vehicles that conducted an offensive in the area. meanwhile, we got some latest footage from the russian defense ministry captured from jones,

which shows russian artillery, firing ukrainian positions. the ministry says the images show ukrainian army in the middle of offensive preparations while they're being shelled by russian born units . in other news today, friday, march day 2 of the s c o summit and it was big capital sama count. yesterday, the russian president is chinese power counterparts. the leaders reiterating their dry for multi polar world. on friday, putin is expected to conduct bilateral talks with the indian prime minister, as well as the turkish presidents. are maria phenomena is across the latest events at the summits. friday is the 2nd on the main day of the sta, summit here in was back his song, the biggest and 20 years, 14 world litter is have already arrived to the congress center that you can see behind me. global security will, of course, be at priority. dear, in today's discussion and also a lot has already been said earlier on thursday,

as well as ahead of this summit about the need to push multiples, charity participants. i go in to discuss this new world order and non western centric. one that we can now see emerging as the west is slowly but steadily losing it's haine funds and trust this and high corporation organization today unites 20 countries with a combined population of 3 and a half 1000000000 people. literally, it is a power as super power. we can say that simply cannot be ignored, and as experts say, today's meeting, today's summit is a lot about just showing the outside world that the countries are spending together . i'm following that pandemic hard years of corona virus been dynamic and are ready to work together to achieve their mutual goals is also expected that after the summit, weidman pollutant will continue. he's a tattoo tad's and he's full. come and meeting with mr. moldy,

the indian leader is very much anticipated here. also vladimir potent is going to meet turkey's after gun too. of course, discuss global matters and energy security, particularly the russian gas supplies. and also the summit comes at a sad time of yet another bloody escalation at the border between as it by john and that are men is, you know, they were a severe clashes there in the last 7 days, more than 40 people were killed. and of course wideman potent during his meeting with mister r leave, the leader of azerbaijani is going to discuss the situation. the prime minister armenia was also expected here had the summit. but in the last moment, mister pushing on said that he's not going to attend. he's not going to come to was becky stan, exactly due to the clashes at the border, but we know that her earlier rushes defense minister had a phone conversation with mr. pushing on the situation seems to be under the

control. and of course, this will be in the folk at the focus during putting a lee of meeting. we'll keep you updated on how it is going here. russia's foreign minister said, a girl of rove, said that source between russia and china are going well as experts. it, but thus is washington continues to pressure beijing to follow u. s. foreign policy and distance itself from moscow. our message said to china as i think, been consistent that the, this is not the time for, for any kind of business as usual with mr. prudent, but of course everything went great. as usual it's these negotiations are always structured in a business like concrete ways with the discussion of the tasks that the relevant ministries face. that's how it went this time as well. this comes amid jo biden's message, the beijing is a threats due to china's catching up. the us appears to see other countries. success is a loss for itself remaining very wary of global competition. but earlier,

my colleague nicky, are in discuss the story with the host of the archie program will depart oksana boyo. to me that's a very xena fallback if not the race the statement. what is it supposed to mean that only the americans entitled to some sort of living standards that the rest of the world has no right to to be catching up here we have the, the leader of the free world, essentially saying that the rest of the world is not entitled to catching up with, with the united states. i mean, how else would you interpret that given again, that the united states has accumulated enormous death. it is already living at the expense of the rest of the world. it has degraded the college of this planet. and why is it supposed to go like that the indefinitely, without anyone else laying a claim to better life as so many countries with being resolving their long standing issues by themselves seems without seeking help from a 3rd party. so do you think we, what we're seeing is a great to trend in your politics. only get resolving is, is

a big statement. they're starting to negotiate the difference as the overall assumption that the west knows what's best for the rest. it's no longer working and it's not no longer working, even for the west, let alone for the rest of the world. and this countries are just taking initiative and into their own hands and pursuing the own national interest. they're not doing that again. somebody against the west, they're doing that for themselves. and i think as time goes by, we will see more and more of that simply because the, you know, people demanding that own over decision making. and everybody wants to be, you know, on part with everybody else. america was unfair, china stones is also highlighted in a new build that could radically reshape washington's tie. one policy if adopted the u. s. would interact with the islands authorities, like a recognize governments and provide more financial aid,

which is foreign ministry said the move would only serve to escalate the tensions between the countries. she is on the bill seriously breeches the u. s. commitment to china on the taiwan question and violate the one china principle. its constituents in interference in china's internal affairs violates international law and basic norms. international relations and the census seriously wrong signal to taiwan independence separate his forces. chinese firmly posted this and has launched a serious petition to the west side. indeed, with more on the bill and the current states of us chinese relations, his ortiz kelly moulton. now you would think that with tensions rising in the pacific, all parties involved would be doing everything possible to de escalate the situation . however, that does not seem to be the case. we have a new bill passing for the senate foreign relations committee, and that bill is seen as a rather intense escalation with china. it provides a $6500000000.00 to taiwan in military aid. it names taiwan is a major,

non nato us ally and it expedite arm sales to the government on taiwan. now there were 5 senators who did oppose the bill. the most vocal of them was us senator rand paul, of kentucky. this is not a time to radically changed logs, timing policy without an appreciation of the consequences that may follow. now this 5 senators were out voted and it appears this bill is moving ahead. it is laughed the senate foreign relations committee now to be up to the rest of the u. s. congress to determine whether or not they want to pass it into law. and then joe biden will have to decide whether or not to sign it. now it meeting is taking place of the 5 eyes and this meeting, you can bet we'll have beijing on the agenda. now the meeting is taking place at an unnamed location. probably a luxury resort, somewhere in new zealand in which security in the pacific region is being discussed . and a number of us officials are playing out the idea of tension with china,

of opposition to china. we have the head of the u. s. naval command, talking about how a major focus of u. s. policy needs to be opposing beijing in the southern hemisphere. we can say plainly that the united states has neglected its relationship in the south pacific . and we're accounting for not by engaging more deeply. the hoping concerning actions by the people's republic of china have in the region, including the secret to arrange them with the solomon islands. the i've been concerning for the united states of america. and i think a concerning, also for new zealand as well. yeah, it states is also talking about putting pre emptive sanctions on chinese officials in order to deter military action against the island of taiwan. we also have other calls from us officials or more sanctions and more efforts to curb beijing's influence around the world. now, many are looking at shina and admiring the great restraints that the country has

shown. when nancy pelosi visited the island of taiwan that was largely seen as a provocation. many are now wondering how far the united states intends to go in trying china's patients on this issue and others. when he's elian's, former associate minister for foreign affairs my robson, he says that the u. s. is being hypocritical, and it's proclaimed intention to defend fi one while also using it as a cover of aggression against china. setting an extra $6000000000.00 up to over the heavily armed taiwan. and it means that we are of a signal to china that we're preparing for war against to. so it's a very dangerous situation. it's an escalation in anybody's terms. what it is is using the taiwanese people bursting there is having china, an angry reaction, which of course, they will, it's actually interference in the southern part of chinese territory. but like the

people of ukraine, the united states wants to use the people of the taiwan as pawns. and it's dragging other countries into it as well in the periphery to, to the area, into heighten tension. that's where the pressure comes on and to claim that there will defend taiwan when it's actually american regression board. oh, almost equation against china, which is the problem is, apostrophe of the greatest, like over to africa. now where at least 10 people have been killed in ethiopia, northern te gray region into air strikes on wednesday morning, as violence has resumed after 5 months. love. the georgia tech hit a residential area in the regional capital mckelly. at least 13 people were also wounded. complete between the federal government and the t great people's liberation front begun in 2020, that the great rebels,

a q soldiers from neighboring eritrea of joining if you open government forces in a coordinated count offensive. the recent attack follows an air strike that hit a kindergarten in late august, which killed several children. some you'll get the 2 journalist and independent analysts. he says that residential areas are coming under attack. the job and government is husband insisting from the gate or that it's fighting a terrorist entity, an entire gray. they're trying to root out a terrorist organization that they say is and will be destroying ethiopia, if not content. and the t p a left has been saying that the, the open government is trying to eliminate their leadership, st. open government as i choosing them was trying to come back. you have to know that you can never was in government for, for many years or for 27 years, including a government, a coalition government that was led by them. they cope and government has been

saying they're taking actions against the t p. a left interest. because they think some of the weapons, some of the trainings are happening in this neighborhood, but the t p left is saying that's not true. that's not happening in this neighborhoods. to half a 1000000 people have died from war and famine in ethiopia as t gray region. us in the past, 16 months alone or the un says the 5200000 people need emergency food assistance in the countries. northern regions are nearly 2600000 people have been displaced with some forced into neighboring countries. the humanitarian catastrophe has received little international attention that as the world continues to focus on the war in ukraine. this has alarmed a number of international organizations, including the world health organization. the world can do this. it has the means or is as the world came together to weeks ago and did a very good job in helping ukraine to export its grains.

ok, that's a good job. but why can't we also push as a global community so that the 6000000 people can get put to it. medicines to be treated telecom, to talk to their people bank to access their money and media so that they can speak and that the woodland can know about their, their problems. or some you'll get at you again. he says that the conflicts will have long lasting consequences and may even drug the whole region into chaos. in this conflict, once again, i can't a highlighted enough how much it has truly update that if you're not just in the to gray region, but i'm far enough far and far beyond. there are no millions of people not and even

the u. n. has been saying they don't have the resources to really help them as it goes back to me or of you know, conflicts, famine. if you don't stop, if you don't slow down this conflict in, if you'll bear it, you're truly change the region because it has a population of at least 115000000 people in what happens in it. you're back to the affects it's neighboring nation. people have taken to the streets across haiti after the government raised fuel prices, leaving many haitians in fear of an already diet economic situation. worsening haitian authorities announced on wednesday the gas prices would more than double to raise funds for the government. now the new spots, riots across the country, which is already in the grip of gang related violence. 2 journalists have been shot dead in the unrest with their bodies being birds. the killings bring the death, alter at least 10 people as 80 struggles with

a 30 percent inflation rate. with the situation here, now we want the government to leave the country. we are buying gasoline at, donna $18.00 alone. no, ma'am. we is. haitians do not recognize ariel. henry, we did not vote for ariel henry. he doesn't have a mandate, no legitimacy to be where he is. arielle on re became. i'd seize, i'd seen president after his predecessor was assassinated. his political rivals have accused him of participating in that murder and of been an american puppets. as after he agreed to take back haitian migrants deported from the u. s. on re himself has appealed for international support unplugged to hold elections. earlier we spoke with the co founder leader and speaker of the alternative socialist party, john and alberto, who thinks it's heights he does in fact need new elections. we are heavy, very serious, a very strong public proposal to serve the transition lady that with the so called

montana agreement, the montana agreement. it was an agreement built by the civil society by most of the political bodies, at least the most relevant, relevant. we did serious agreement and we did inside that agreement, we had in election a very fair democratic and consensual election. and they are trying to ignore it, you know, why? because it is haitian because it is from good inside. do they would like you added to have a solution coming back in the pocket of any b, head from the international community. the so could call group and say, and that is impossible. the hybrid regime of electoral autocracy, that's how you lawmakers have described budapest constitutional under lights. oral systems from gary and foreign minister though didn't police punches, as i will play parliament, your visit that gave i think the well paid members of the european parliament would

do much better to deal with the real problems in europe. for example, they could spend their salaries on helping the people of europe and its economy after energy prices in europe tripled or quadrupled as a result of the sanctions regime. there should rather be concerned with how to get europe out of recession, how to get europe out of high inflation, how to get europe out of high energy prices. when the whole policy of sanctions was started in brussels with a strong support and inspiration of the european parliament, the promise was that it will bring us closer to a solution. in contrast, the war has been going on for more than half a year, and the people of europe are finding themselves in an increasingly difficult situation because of high energy prices and inflation. so it would be good if the european parliament were to address this issue and not repeat all kinds of unfounded accusations against hungary. on the use budget's commission is considering stripping hungry of 70 percent of its funding over transparency

concerns. the countries, anti migrant and conservative policies have caused displeasure within the block for some time enough along with his position on the conflicts in ukraine. 433 e. u legislators now claim that the country has violated democratic principles since 2018 is the country's foreign minister again. why did em back? the hungarian people have now clearly decided in for parliamentary elections in a row. what kind of future they weren't for the country, and we resend that. some people and stroudsburg and brussels think that the hungarian people are not mature enough to decide their own future. and where is said that they are interfering in hungarian people's decisions. it is the democratic constitutional right of the hungarian people to decide on the future of the country and hang geron. people have clearly done so, and we reject any slandering of this. earlier we spoke to nicolas markovich, a political analyst who said that they use attempts to dictate rules are themselves

on the phone and on democratic any state which stairs has a specific use, whether they be for religious. cultural, historical reasons is out of line compared with brussels today. brussels is an authoritarian regime. this is, was hypocritical in and, and then the current situation is that brussels is having the attitude of an authoritarian regime, telling countries what, how the muster that they're there. they're judges what type of lands they're down to, to farm or not, what their positions must be concerning, russia and other countries. so the what, what, what marriage is supposed to be. so the european union is dictating to the different member states, what they should think, what they should do. and then the european union is telling the people who have been coded for by their people that they are not democracies. this is this, this is a conundrum which is actually very scary because if an authoritarian state is starting to decide what a democracy is than all democracies are in danger,

especially those in the european union. of course. well, that's all from me peter scott's, but don quarter will be taking over the whole seat in about 30 minutes and all the latest from day to that's as seo. so ms. becky stung. thank you very much for watching. ah, a wrong one. i just don't know if you see how it becomes an engagement. it was the trail when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. ah needs to come to the russian

state. little narrative. i've studied as i phone and the most landscape with 55 with. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machines. the state on russia today and split our t spoke neck, even our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube with me. ah, ah

ah ah hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, official. kevin, it's immediate trolls have made much of the recent powder offensive. however, there gleeful backing of ukraine has demonstrated beyond a doubt. this is a nato war on russia. the stakes could not be higher. one side will lose and badly

cross sucking nato's war on russia. i'm joined by my guest garland nixon in washington. he's a political analyst in tampa. we have larry johnson. he is managing partner for burg associates and a former c. i. a analyst and u. s. department of state counterterrorism official. and here in moscow we have maxime switch off. he is the director of the institute of international studies at moscow state institute of international relations. hi gentlemen, cross how girls and effect. that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate, let's go to larry 1st in tampa. much has been made about this so counter offensive or on cove, not much was gain, not much was lost at the end of the day, but it's good media fodder. good for the propaganda narrative. what is not mentioned in the narrative is that during the summer, the ukrainian army was destroyed. now we have a nato army with ukrainian foot soldiers and mercenaries. but this is nato's war against russia. agree or disagree with that? go ahead, larry. well it's, it's certainly moving in that direction that there were still ukrainians,

leading to quote, leading the fight on this. but when you look at the quality of the troops, they were untrained, they had little experience, and they did not know how to properly use the weapons of. it was shocking. an article in the washington post. earlier this week with the interviewed individuals in the hospital, you're wondering on crating and soldiers and when they go through that, these guys are saying, look, we're getting our gun, we're being, we're losing 5 of us to every one russian that does die or one ukrainian from the don bass and we don't, we send out 5 shells and we're getting hit with a 100. so that is enabled by the nato nato was making that happen. and i think it, it is. it's becoming a very dangerous situation because i, i think i just saw a comment or a message from russia to, to nato that, you know, if you put in long range.
