defense systems working and got rather used to it. i was sitting in the back seat and heard an explosion. i felt glass falling on me and a colleague pulled me out of the car and covered me with his body. that saved me, he's also fine, but i'm sure of what i saw. the military was not there. it was a column of civilians, just people who wanted to evacuate from the city and go to a safer place. the testimony of one of the survivors? well, joining us live now with more on the attack as our t chorus fuller among cosser. if ramon what more is known of the deadly incident on what is the current situation like in the region of large what the moment the local authorities have come up a with a number of people who were killed during this attack by the cranium military at the moment uh, 4 people are dead ends. at 13 people are wounded and they're being treated ad

well. now local authorities are saying that said this particular point is always always full of people's, the full of 1st civilians at any given time of day or night. let's have a listen. legible, nester knowledge neglige as to what the opposite side may claim there couldn't be civilians as the curfews imposed. but everybody knows that after the bridge was damaged the summer the people spend all night at this river crossing. moreover, while curfews imposed people are sleeping in their cars near the crossing, they are in the queue and they have no other option. this crossing is only for cars, so all the victims were sitting in the cars. of course there are huge cues now as everybody wants to leave the city, fearing along with shillings terror attacks by ukraine and even possible flooding in case the carrasco hydro electric power plant is hit by guided missiles and is partly or completely destroyed. now this is not the 1st and unfortunately not

the last time that ukraine is that sorry, getting civilian population and double dern and successfully as well. according to the russian military commands, nato had been a long demanding from the ukrainian authorities to continue their offensive no matter the cost to whether it's a civilians or civilian infrastructure. around thanks for taking us through all about our team. remodel cost ref. get another story to bring you to day a mysterious one, an emmy award winning american journalist for 9 for investigating national security issues. a said to have disappeared off the f. b i rated his home on, reportedly seized classified information from his computer. r t correspondent fiorella isabel picks up the story while the us most about freedom and democracy, both the trump and bite and administration have been widely criticized for

targeting journalists and their sources. a recent, scantily covered story of a national security investigative producer who disappeared without a trace after f b. i. agents read at his home doesn't quite how paid the u. s. is reputation in a positive light, even though there's not many details available on the morning of april 26th, 2022 federal agents rated renowned a, b. c. news producer, james gordon meeks apartment in arlington, virginia. the raid came as a shock to some of his neighbors, one who described at least 10 heavily armed agents in mostly unmarked vehicles. they didn't stick around, they took off pretty quickly and headed west on columbia pike towards fairfax county. most people seeing that green vehicle would think it is some kind of tank, but i knew it was the lend co bearcat that vehicle is designed to be jumped out of . so they can do a raid and that kind of time. it can return fire if they're being fired upon the f

. b. i confirmed the raid adding that, although there's an ongoing investigation and nothing more could be sad, meeks has not been charged with a crime. but sources claim that federal agents allegedly found classified information on meet laptop is to make, is unaware of what allegations anonymous sources are making about his possession of classified documents. as such, documents exist as claimed. this would be within the scope of miss to make a long career as an investigative journalists covering government, wrong doing press inquiries on this issue. troubling for different reason. they appear to be based on statements from a source inside. the government is highly inappropriate and illegal for individuals in the government to lease information about an ongoing investigation. adding feel to the fire is mix last tweet on april 27th agreeing with an x. the i analyst about how the u. s. is using the war in ukraine to learn russian fighting tactics and have been doing so since 2014. the story gets weirder as meek seems to have

disappeared, at least according to his colleagues. he fell off the face of the f and people asked, but no one you down, sir. he resigned very abruptly and hasn't worked for us for months. and even weirder as meeks latest project was the claimed hulu documentary, $3212.00 on redacted, exposing how the pentagon covered up the conditions that led to the deaths of for you, a special force as a niger in 2017, during a battle with isis ah, we asked why did the foreman loosely alive no one with division and we're, we're really started cooking something didn't add up. interestingly, brian epstein the other producer who worked on that project also swiftly laughed abc earlier this year before his disappearance meet. gave an interview and spoke extensively on the dangers and injustice of the cover up. we need to have accountability. we need to have accountability long the leadership leaders must

hold themselves accountable. and that did not happen here. the leaders, the men who sent these young guys in a battle on a patrol that resulted in one of the most fearsome battles of memory in a country were, most americans have no idea. we had combat church they, they basically disappeared. not only didn't stand by their men, they did not hold themselves accountable, and somehow they were not punish, most notably months before meeks vanished, he was finishing work on a book for simon and schuster titled, operation pineapple expressed the incredible story of a group of americans who undertook one last mission, an honored a promise in afghanistan, he co wrote the book with lieutenant colonel scott man, a retired greenberry, but after april 27th, all traces of his, his association to the book were deleted. simon and schuster has rubs his name from all press materials. the 1st sentence of the jacket previously read. in april a,

b. c. news correspondent james gordon. meek. got an urgent call from a special forces operator serving overseas. now it says in april, an urgent call was placed from a special forces operator serving overseas. so where is james make and why exactly did the api i rayed his apartment? we don't know for sure, but what this case might do is set a scary president for us journalists who cover the national security apparatus. columbia's newly inaugurated president has taken aim of the country's traditional ally washington, saying the u. s. has been ravaging latin american economies in pursuit of its own financial interest in or not could assist economically. and economic crisis is coming. the united states has virtually ruining every economy in the world yet in washington. they make decisions to protect themselves, sometimes without thinking about what is going to happen as a result of their measures. the economies of latin american nations are being laid

to waste. the colombian leader proposed to create a unified latin american response to washington's policies. he delivered the message amid an ongoing economic crisis as well in his nation. earlier, columbia is national currency. the pay so had a benchmark of over $4900.00 to $1.00 american dollar. that is the highest figure in the country's history. some experts protects it may yet fall further over the next year. for relations between the u. s. and nations in the region you may recall, got particularly tension june was when cuba, venezuela, knicker rockies were all excluded from the 2022 summit of the americas in response to a number of other latin american countries, including bolivia and mexico. boy counted the 4 of the mexican president out that time, also accused washington of abusing its dominant position. i am not going to the

summit because not all countries of the americas were invited. i believe in the need to change a policy that has been posed for centuries exclusion and the desire to dominate, for no reason. the failure to respect the sovereignty of countries, the independence of each country. we think it's a continuation of the old policy of interventionism, of disrespect for nations and their peoples are near. we spoke where colombian activists jo, mirror shopper, who sees many nations around the globe are trying to break away from washington's economic germany. comments and criticisms on the new president will start to draw. columbia is a criticism of the united states of their world policies of what's going on in the world of the reflection that's going on with the ukraine. russia situation in how that is economically affecting the world upon me. capital is really trying to be smarter how he manages the unity of 9 america. we see that now

many, many peoples around the world and especially the world are trying to break away the u. s. not just military or political, but also economic gemini. the u. s. has warn the palestinian nationalist group come us. that strengthening ties with theory, as government will only worsen its relationship with washington regimes outreach this terrorist organization only reinforces for us it's isolation. it harms the interest of the palestinian people and undercuts global efforts to counterterrorism in the region and beyond. this will continue rejecting any support to rehabilitate the assad regime, particularly from designated terrorist organizations. like i'm us. well, theory is president bashar al assad has welcome the reconciliation of relations with the mass movement following a decade long absence, the clearing it

a sign of the future in the middle east. come out, also emphasized that it believes the move is a big step. this is a glorious, an important day in which we come back to our dear syria to resume joint work. we are restoring our relations with syria, with the consensus of our leadership. this is a new start for joint palestinian sirian action. while some background co operation between the 2 brawn to a halt in 2012 due to the palestinian militant movements discontent with the syrian government policy on the eve of civil war in the country. from 1999, hamas had used the muskets as its headquarters for its overseas relations. while the new round of cooperation comes amid similar moves between other middle east states after a long pause. busy as an example of that, the egyptian president recently paid a 2 day visit to cattle after a 4 year rift between cairo and doha, marking what he labeled

a new year in relations. while iran is continuing talks with saudi arabia, with a view to resuming diplomatic ties, and reopening embassies clothes since 2012 and anchorage has attempted a reconnection with egypt. recognizing the need to reset and improve their bilateral relations. we heard from regional expert ak med, mustafah, who stays countries are creating new alliances outside the u. s. sphere of influence america. most of the time it's lying to moderate. any dispute not to settle a dispute? because according to the multi ration, i can play on the 2 parties, but not to make them panic and having like a giant agreement or settlement to give them women to be against each other and to put you know, menaces and the doubts, the phoenix, other and this is exactly what america is doing because like the bill trying to put like a sedition between 2 neighbors,

lovers into friends just to get the benefit for the maximum and just to have the supremacy and the unilateral system, there are a lot of a good political intentions from the other part of the world, which ones are and which is suffered from the unilateral order. the settlement will be more beneficial and will be dangerous on the, the, the, the b and to those, especially the united states. and the anglo saxon at least 150 people, including women and children, have been killed in a 2 day period in the latest ethnic clashes in suit them. it's the deadliest outbreak of violence in the northeast african nation in several months. crowds took to the streets in the state of blue nile, 500 kilometer side of the capitol cartoon, where the killings occurred. they condense the long lasting conflict between rebel

groups, mainly comprising of the birth of people on the house of tribe over a land dispute. according to the head of a local hospital around 86 people were injured and cautious during not rally. eye witnesses reported gunfire. knowing that some buildings were also set in place during the protest. sporadic violence between the tribes has claimed the lives of more than 160 people. over the last 4 months resulted in a row and $1200.00 people displaced according to the un regional. unless the probably believes un peacekeepers have failed to ensure your unbiased mediation for the conflicting sites, all rational and impact, she'll be back then. i did mission mission, all they need to have a problem. instead of making mediation a settlement,

they became part of the problem because it took the time off part of the alliance and they get closer to them and they back. and i have more bought out of the gloom that by you the times or not. this is made the whole unit and i live that me now there is a fantasy for a mediator. this is a brian now ah, and something else to tell you by today the u. s. is considering imposing new sanctions on russia and a run over alleged military cooperation that would follow at on from what the e. u is doing. brussels having already slopped measures against the ran, claiming it's providing russia with so called suicide drones. both masculine tyrann categorically deny the accusations, calling them

a pretext for imposing more restrictions on the to alight. beat on categorically dejected, unfounded, an unsubstantiated claims that eat on has transferred you a reason for the use of the conflict in ukraine. it is simply disappointing death to pursue div political agenda. these estates are trying to launch a disinformation campaign against it. on the eve of our western colleagues is clear the attempts to heat 2 targets at once. inventing an artificial pretext, to put pressure on russia and on iraq with the ear alleges that moscow is using iranian groans in the ukrainian conflict. the blocks new sanctions package includes travel bands and i'll set freezes on a rainy and groom, making firms and on military officials who are said to be involved in the trade of

the an unmanned aerial vehicles. now in addition, they'll be banned from doing business with a you citizens. the u. s. is also threatening those who have ties to the domestic iranian drone program. just to point out, china is among those questioning the practice of imposing unilateral sanctions at 24 countries, joined beijing in the u. n. and issuing a critical joint statement calling such actions by washington and brussels illegal . we reaffirm a position to unilateral, of course of measures and a coal on imposing states to immediately and completely sees such a practice. we call our space to avoid impose in future union actual sanctions, not and you are caught in so busy international law. and as the un charter for human and labor rights lawyer done collect, talk they program through why such sanctions are deemed illegal under the un

charter. only the security council of the u. n. can impose these type of economic sanctions in the interest of international peace and security. countries like the us are not allowed to do this unilateral. i know the us does this all the time, but it has to be approved by the security council. it has not been approved by the security council, though indeed, it is illegal. the west tends to do what it wants, regardless of international law, regardless of the evidence. and of course, a huge irony is, you know, the u. s. and e, you are giving billions of dollars of military assistance, see you cry. and yet they're begrudging. iran for at least allegedly i'm giving a military aid to russia. so again, the hypocrisy in the situation, pretty incredible. the economies of the west are collapsing. and because of their

own sanctions, isn't that the irony they have sanctioned themselves into oblivion? and now they want to engage in war sanctions? i mean, ah, you know, the definition of insanity is a, you know, you keep trying the same thing and how for different responses, but they're going to get the same big week in china. let's turn our attention to the ongoing 20th national congress of the chinese communist party up, which is outlining really the country strategy for the next 5 years and beyond. ah, will this friday day 6 focused on environmental protection? a big issue, of course, on one which china has faced considerable criticism and dealing with we spoke earlier with c g, t, and correspondent di tell ye who detailed what beijing is proposing on how that can

be navigated alongside energy priorities, i know has become the country that with the fastest air quality improvement in the world, and it also sees the largest growth of forest resources. and the largest area of the artificial afforestation in the world also launched the world's largest carbon trading market. the national energy administration actually spoke about how like this here has been complicated because of keep ways because of droughts. lots of natural disasters make screen whether it's the weeks barrier, especially during the summer season. and of course the volatile international energy prizes. but he said that china has stood up to the tests and effectively cushion the negative impact of the well. and the reasons behind that is because over the past decade at china has china's energy supply system has improved

a lot now is equipped with the selfish efficiency rates with over 80 percent. so bad, that's probably that probably in a way reflects how china can really better tackle energy prices that the world is now facing. yeah, we'll have all the big developments from at congress to day on through the weekend as well. but stay with us because next, a deep dive into a man regarded as a legend by soviet forces for his operations against ukrainian nationalists who were backed up by the cia during the middle of last century. do stay with us that short documentary gets boeing. ah, ah

ah mm. as winter approaches, some cold realities are setting in the west, sanctioned more against russia, has failed. it is the west that is feeling the economic pain and ukraine's energy infrastructure is slowly being degraded. common sense would dictate a major rethink for these people in power. that is inconceivable. with most of them really blown them payable for the owners. look at the summers flooring,

deal to stumble, wilson young. people that come on the finger dental, but the little book i think nozzles important elisha fall out at last, but i had gotten with chicken policy daily. wasn't started at the my idea with wallace envelopes. it's like, like a bunch of a i may do you know, like a little immediately you do a bull supposedly a, almost

a ah 1960, the war had been over some time and the country was returning to peaceful life, new factories and plants, a savage, and the birth race, but most soviet citizens were unaware that tom gangs was still killing people in the ukrainian sr. it went unreported in the newspapers on the radio. there were only room was, according to investigative reports. these crimes were being committed by the o u. n. and gpa, the organization of ukrainian nationalists,

and the ukranian insurgent army respectively. to huge for the hold that that was a little while, but i shouldn't be self still be what you would be wise review. i'd wish to preserve all postal. do i do manual on the various mobility in the video will be on believe, you know, is sort of i me, lou on the ones. much at the old. can i school in this in indian trust? rational at the minneapolis here at the lum mall, but more to the impact you will see. i brush initially, secretary of the communist party of ukraine. nikita who, shelf center points bulky envelopes labeled top secret one after another to moscow, stayed security minister. victor come off, analyzed this intelligence and realized that command of these operations was being exercised from within ukraine from a single centre which distributed money and weapons and gave orders to kill in order to disrupt this gangland activity, the leaders of the ukrainian nationalists had to be found and illuminated it was this mission that soviet agent general puzzles to the plot of by then already

legend was ordered to carry out with ah, after the war, gangs were active in many previously occupied soviet territories. bad reports from ukraine was shocking in both scale and brutality. a teacher was raped and murdered in guns region of pharma was thrown into a threshing machine in the roving region. in the law of suburbs, the body of a come some mol, activist, was found in a well along with his 3 year old daughter. 14 people were killed in a single day.
