change much in fact do anything. what we are now see is a assertion all democratic way of dealing with with headlines right here. we're not seeing international as the 2 people that killed and 14 injured after our russian town bordering. you craig, comes on the, show me a, just about hear the noise. is there an attempted ukrainian strike on a civilian river crossing and how to song is intercepted by air defenses. according to local authorities, it's just a day off for another attack. bad time. deadly other route if you didn't know this is being used by people's heading to safe grounds and we had a chance to speak to somebody again. you said when you bundle to like you,

they bombed us with rockets all day and all night to our home was destroyed. the air defense works, but look, if he's coming, it's not safe for children. also washington's cold, but intervention in the hey t is heard at the un security council approved sanctions against those behind violent and p government protests with us media outlets also pushing for a so called american security mission in haiti. many locals that are up in mind that protests against israel sweep across the west bank. the un releases a report saying that palestine is going through its deadliest period and 16 years with over a 100 people killed in 2022 along with no shortage of news for this saturday evening program from moscow. it's so good to have you with us straight into it. we go for your. doris continued at ukrainian

shelling of civilian areas has been reported now near the border in russia's belgrade region. 2 people were killed while at least 14 were injured in the attack on the town of becky. know that is according to local officials. earlier a correspondent in the studio here, marina caught her ever gave me an update. i've been looking for some of the videos, especially for telegram channels that we're seeing coming up much faster these days . and in the videos there we can see that people are driving for a plume of smoke. some are trying to escape. some are trying to see what happens. we can even see people lying on the ground, the waiting help, waiting, the ambulance services to arrive. we know that 11 people have been injured. 4 of them are in critical condition in the hospital right now. also to our dead, as we know, including a 16 year old boy, 15000 people have been left without electricity. although locals are saying that it will take about 5 to 6 hours to fix the bell, get to the region shares

a 400 kilometer border with the ukraine. it's come on to several attacks. we're talking about power infrastructure as there was a fire at a substation. there was an explosion that an ammunition warehouse at a different energy facilities and other infrastructure. and of course let's not forget, just recently we saw when the 2 volunteers who were mobilized in moscow, they volunteered to go and there were in training in the region. and 2 of them opened the fire on fellow volunteers and we saw 11 people killed there. and 15 people injured and i personally know people who live in belgrade region and they're saying that they're scared. they can hear selling every single day, sometimes either they're flying through before there be an interest up to. so they are living in fear and not knowing exactly what to do, but also what's interesting is that the governor of the bill going to region recently announced and asked companies if they could make sure that people work from home, at least so that there is less movements in the region and also those who are

studying if they could go to distance learning. the meantime, across the front line, ukraine has restricted power supplies to several central regions in the country, including key f. it's following a tax on energy infrastructure this saturday morning. a state run power company has said the damage was greater than after, similar strikes in previous days. as we understand right now. there are roughly 1500000 people currently there without power. no error rate alerts have run out throughout the country today with explosions reported in central and western regions. earlier, moscow did confirm it was conducting high precision stripes on ukrainian energy facilities and military command centers in retaliation for a tax on critical russian infrastructure. the last saturday ukraine has targeted a civilian river crossing in the heart of san region for the 2nd day in a row that's according to local authorities. officials say the attack was actually

intercepted by russian defense systems. the says right there, working to protect the intern, oscar bridge, located very close to the ferry crossing slip of the previous day. ukrainian rocket strike of the same location, killed 4 and wounded 10. if you didn't know this already, a river bomb just currently and used to help people leave the city of her son, a shilling by ukraine's military has just left the territory too dangerous to stay . and our correspondent is eager to dine off reporting now from one of the areas where civilians have been fleeing to for safety. hundreds of people have already been relocated and well accommodated at this temporary center in southern russia. now we've heard plenty of stories and every one is unique, of course, but all of them revolver on the same thing. how they did not want to leave. how they tried to delay this very difficult decision until the very last minute when they realized that staying was simply way too dangerous. the threat was to grave to

risk. they couldn't simply risk the lives of their loved ones, their children, and well, the elderly. still again, the only one that had, i guess they bombed us with rockets all day and all night our home was destroyed. what is happening is terrible. our own people are bombing us. zalinski is bombing us. he's the reason why we had to run away. we left everything behind the water everywhere and the news. they are telling us about shilling in every days like that. we live next to the port is very dangerous. the air defense works, but rockets keep coming. it's not safe for children. but to tell you in the beginning we could not understand or believe it. then we decided to leave immediately. we went to get my mother who lives next to care san despite the security checkpoints, we were very afraid. now people here they are being provided not only with the free accommodation and to hold food,

but rather everything is being done to streamline the process of their integration into russia society as smoothly and swiftly as possible. there's a job fair going on here for example, and there are all sorts of specialists who are assisting them with obtaining new documents, for instance, because the authorities, while they realize that people, most of them like 99 percent of them did. they did not plan on coming here, there was no way they could have prepared for this moment in any shape or form. so they are doing everything to basically will help them accommodate and well again into great mood, bonnasoli, speech room, buford vocal in the center. we why did recreation for the people? we set up, children's play areas, clubs and sports fails. currently, our administration set up a center where people can come with different questions. questions about visas, migration and work. i think that every man needs to help somebody who finds himself in a difficult situation. we never know what will happen to us to morrow or if we will be the ones needing help us again as people have been fleeing in the wake of this

threat of ukrainian forces overnight they have shelled a civilian crossing over a river. here san is in general, a region that has been largely physically cut off from russia, so the evacuees, they have to rely on such well very temporary and unstable crossing points over over the river. the wonder was shelled well, as a result for people for civilians have been killed and well more than 10 have been injured, including including children. so there's that, but this all, this threats, all this hardship, it only encourages more people to listen to the voice of reason perhaps, and to temporarily relocate here to southern russia and other places. because this is just the only one that has opened its doors to welcome everyone in need. great to have you with us for this program or the un security council has approved a joint us mexican resolution to sanction quote,

any one who threatens piece security or stability in haiti at the measure comes as the western hemisphere poorest country has been embroiled in multiple crises with washington now considering a type of intervention, ultimately ignoring please on the ground. not to do precisely that. the u. s. media outlets rosa came to see american forces in puerto france. it's a call that has not gone entirely unnoticed. the washington post editorial board has called for military intervention and hazy 8 times since the july 2021 assassination of president jo vanelle, more ease. haiti is on the brink of revolution and the u. s. will do anything to stop it. now we're up to 9 washington post editorial board calls for military intervention, haiti since summer 2021. it hasn't even been a week since the last one. well, these are the actual are headlines that were mentioned in the tweets. the washington post has told the bible white house to quote, intervene and quote,

put boots on the ground in haiti. so we discussed the issue with our journalist and filmmaker dan cohen, who also wrote those tweets well, aside from the resources there in haiti, the, the, the main reason is that us cannot allow an example such as haiti to inspire other countries to go out of the orbit of us empire as it, as it has inspired other countries before and you know, for the haitian revolution led to the collapse of chattel slavery in the west. and european colonialism. and the u. s. wants to maintain its grip on the western hemisphere, what it calls its backyard. and it cannot allow essentially a domino effect if something were to happen in haiti, then who knows what happens in the dominican republic or puerto rico so, so the u. s. can not let any country whether haiti or otherwise make an example. the can be a nation is currently trapped as well as a downward spiral of sky rocketing inflation, gang violence even

a cholera outbreak as well. now the government there is asked for foreign help to quell the unrest for the request has certainly been met with concern by many others who are out on the street. mm hm. mm mm. mm mm

mm. as i previously mentioned, it was in fact the us and mexico that dropped it at 10 pace, un resolution demanding an immediate end. the violence in haiti don cohen again says that you should be wary about cow towering to well, beltway se agenda. i think the key thing is that the un needs to make sure that it does not go along with the u. s. plot to, to authorize a military intervention. and of course, that comes down to the most powerful players there. aside from the u. s, which are russia and china. and so the resolution that the u. s. is floating to, to authorize the military intervention by essentially deputized

a you and member statement has to be bullying flatly rejected because this will only lead to 2 more horrors for, for the people of haiti. and not only that, the, the inter and prime minister ariel on re, his mandate is completely unconstitutional. there was never a vote. he was simply anointed by the united states and the core group to lead haiti in the wake of the assassination in july 2021 of president jovan oma. we so he has no legitimacy according to the haitian constitution and therefore cannot legally request a foreign military intervention. it's as simple as that, and that's something that the chinese ambassador at the us pointed out in their testimony of the security council, i believe on monday, the so called great war of africa in the late 900 ninety's or a colossal 5 and a half 1000000 people killed most of which in the democratic republic of congo. it

was the deadliest conflict since that of the 2nd world war. now fears arising again in the region after intense fighting abruptly between d r c national forces. and the 23 militant group reportedly aligned with neighboring. we're one to and you gander with more in the latest developments and a little bit of historical background. here's our africa correspondence cut of the title as a background to this story on the 8th. and the 9th of may, this year, the militia groups around the d. c. got together to decide and form and non gratian peg. but that meeting was tablet with some of the colleagues military. see me, generals. and that have led to allegations being made especially by human rights life that the colonies government is in the aiming. in the abuses that we see around the civilian population. the sexual abuses that have been missed out on the

women in the, in the country. and also, you know, texting people illegally reports that people have to support the frontline of the different militia groups depending on where you live, of course. but they go as far as giving kettle go as far as give them food to the feeble. and these feel on the receiving end of this very thing, abusive behavior. now some of these different and varying militia that you find in the see some of senior military official work claim to be part of the one then genocide, back in 1994. now this was one of the most horrific and reading the chapter in human history. something that the un has been led as a crime against humanity. now these very things, soldiers and rebel groups that are said to be funded by the court release military

have been accused of the very thing thing of abuses against the villian population . now, the situation is, pertains any dangerous because that area, as it is the central african republics, as if i really surrounded by insurgency activity that has been ford by different world forces. the americans have interest in that the french have interest in that, and they particularly have interest in the d. c. for varying mineral resources. as you might know, the d. c is well endowed with mineral resources, but the wonder that explored most of the cobbled that come out of that country. it is one that, that was most of the goals that comes out of the country and such plays towards the bigger geopolitical presence of the d. c. and what it ones to become. and these

varying interest from within n with out the country remain a really, really difficult scenario to navigate. because all of these varying interest i pandering to various one says and sub watson. so the western media would like to have you believe that russian propaganda is to blame for african countries distancing themselves from various professional partners in the western hemisphere. but it's not really the reason why the continent is moving away from cooperation with its traditional allies is corresponded, sophia and all those scanning ruskin. they're back at it again, spreading their russian is information by paddling for sorts and polluting the mice this time, the minds of africans. that is the reason why africa is sleeping away from us

apparently best. what western official sting. but what narrative has the west itself been battling and how much do they match reality? this one, for example, was raised in the report itself and forced by the u. s. and other g 7 officials, russia is bringing in a lot of money for the things it wants to sell. and if it's not selling food that's rushes, joyce, that you has also been widely promoted in the media. but is it true? although western countries keep saying that grain has not been sanctioned, they for some reason fail to mention that the ships that transport russian grain are in fact under sanctions. there is no insurance available. and in general, western sanctions have disrupted the logistical and financial infrastructure that russia uses to export its own grain. what else? energy, evidently satisfied with the successes of their own green energy policies or results in the conscious lecture bellanca for example. the collective west has been force in africa to go green at climate summit. the western leader is not once threatened

to cut off funding for oil and gas projects abroad, bullying, continental, i doubt the edge and that it wasn't ready for. but the current crisis in ukraine has shown how much the west truly believes in the idea of green africa with you leader is catching flies to get them to africa as soon as possible to please for some of those dirty fossil fuels. germany, france, easily all gone to santa go for gas. we need long term partnership, not inconsistency in contradiction on green energy policy from the u. k. in european union. it does not help their energy security. it does not help nigerian economy and it does not help the environment. it is a hypocrisy that must end if you're in the me that headlines here with thing that the west is so altruistic and good that it force billions into africa expecting nothing in return. and that eradicating poverty is the main interest, but that's not quite the full store it. the narrative ignores the fact that the

richey givers are in fact, taking more than they give. in reality, africa is not poor, but it's people are being kept in poverty by a combination of inequitable policies. huge disparities in power and criminal activities, perpetuated and sustained by wealthy elite both inside and outside of the continent . research by health while we are to action shows that around $190.00. so beal and a year is taken out of africa more than 6 times the amount of 8th it receives. this includes elicit financial flows, the profits of multinational companies, illegal logging and fishing. and finally, in now the big one back seems. remember the western merits, if we're all in it together, well, by your side, africa. yeah. ok. rich and powerful countries used money and their political influence to procure hundreds of millions of doses, shutting poor countries out of the market. the result was inequitable distribution of these much needed vaccines, meaning that most people in low income countries would become the last to be

inoculated, as if one's financial status or nationality was the qualifying criteria to get vaccinated. in fact, european for that some sensors didn't even open up to the african market. as a result of old, this almost every global south nation has refused to sign on to the unilateral sanctions of the u. s. and coal. the broken report will probably suggest that that's because they're just brainwashed by russians is in the formation. but them doing so they would be adopting a residual colonialist attitude that suggests that africans have no agency of their own or cannot do basic research and separate facts from a fiction. and may be of as the real reason that western messages don't find much favor on the continent. it is arty international now. is there any forces of fire tear gas to palate, union of protesters near nobilis. that's one of the largest cities in the west bank . protestors were demanding the opening of a road blocked by televi. pick asked was used to break up the rally. now earlier

this week, palestinian farmers and israeli settlers fought it out during the annual all the harvest. now novels a palestinian city, of course, has been blocked by idea of troops. now for some 10 days. israel official saying that a rising insurgency is the reason why that's as a new report from the united nations. so it's the region has been enduring, its deadliest period and 16 years planning over a 100 palestinians lost their lives this year alone will hand it over now to a local journalist. here's santa come for more than 55 years since if you're buying the bill as being in ways bank. the effect of the a league governments are trying to follow policy of involving got faith accompli and by the seniors, by increasing the settlement activity this, by the condemnation, instead of making a low, recently they invited making a special portion. i don't want to write an acute light that is being entered. it

doted francisco. barney's public head 1st ever knew park either thing a number over human rights concerns and bad nicholas regarding the right of divinity and people to self determination in the context of the 3rd law. colonial of they that 80 occupation since the beginning of 2022 is an early autumn. we have called around $140.00. but athenians, including 18 in the city of nub, with our lawn, which has witnessed, i knew that our early military escalation and added him as a has so far disdained. $5030.00 buddies, seniors, according to the bill. athenian prison, not at the club. and just an assembly as happens almost every year, even if the polymers have been suffering from the israeli settlers under the protection of the israeli army who attacked them during their audit harvest season . the farmers said that news attack came under the protection of the israeli army, which insists on unrelenting,

it's his domestic policy. i gain better tardies by allowing cit, llanas to attack farmers and lance. hello. this is madness. why did they burn my old of trees? why? they are thieves, they still my olives, they spread incendiary materials on olive trees. i'm not dead, i'll come here every day. i am still alive. my name is a bore, a fought, and i will come here to my land. but the settlers attacked us with stones and try to push his al far land. sometimes these ran the army claims. it waxed to arrest them. but in reality they steal from us. may have stolen oil in all its more than once from our land. unfortunately, to palestine in the swords, he can do nothing for us. we held that began axe is our lunch easily. we won't protection to stay on our land, put in berlin views have been subjected to those that are a little out as i thought, as was hoping to with one of them on wednesday, who was a sub and had a leg broken by a group of fiddlers while he was her being got,

but if the upon mater part of this is only the growth and bit light as protests continue in iran over the death of a young woman. the iranian government is now blaming local codes for stirring up unrest. meantime, washington's colon terran, to show restraint. so over now to our correspondent caleb montgomery visiting the rather complicated relationship between the united states and the codes by comes to the kurds. the united states and his leaders have a long history of championing though an oppressed peoples struggling for nationhood in a region filled with turmoil. now the nation's heart strings are being fought for the kurds once again. this time in iran, we're being told that the islamic republic, america's long time enemy is cracking down on them and that they need support urgently. regimes crackdown on demonstrators has been especially brutal on the kurdish community. tensions have been particularly high between security forces and

the kurdish minority. human rights groups are increasingly award biting ron's cracked tail on its western kurdistan region. but how did you s support for the kurds. ready go last time, it seems like the pentagon is very happy to egg on the kurds to fight somebody else . but when that fight doesn't go so well, the united states doesn't really seem to have their backs. let's recall how bush senior urged the courage to rise up against the bosses arab socialist government of iraq in 1991. there's another way for the bloodshed to stuff. and that is for the iraqi military and the iraqi people to take matters into their own hands. kurdish uprisings against saddam hussein did not go so well to the kurds. but the united states was quite happy to see a government they couldn't stand, have to fight against somebody else. and then turkey was a long time nato ally of the united states has been waging

a fight against kurdish separatist groups for decades. now america says that it fully supports turkey and its fight against the curtis group that even listed kurdish groups operating within turkey as terrorists. now this all got complicated when kurdish military forces became a key factor on the battlefields of syria. now, turkey maintained that the y p g and syria is the same organization that they've been fighting against for decades. turkey is furious about us support for the y b g, but the united states maintains it's a completely separate organization. at this point, washington's position seems to be kurdish forces in turkey, bad kurdish forces in syria. good erewhon doesn't buy it. in the syrian civil war, the united states has presented itself as an ally of kurdish forces fighting against isis. support for the y p g became a trendy social media. con. leftists were glorifying ra hava. but then in 2017,

the united states suddenly wanted an independence referendum. the kurdish forces had been planning to be post part. and then us forces stood back and watched the iraqi forces derived and out of the area that they had seized from isis is aconia. i don't, i was not surprised that the iraqi forces attack code is stolen. but what surprised me greatly was that the people whom america had listed as terrorists, attacked us with american weapons under the eyes of american officers and officials . and then in 2019, donald trump withdrew from northern syria. he said, other forces can figure out the situation. this certainly caused a huge amount of backlash even within his own party. hope and expect sanctions against turkey, if necessary would be veto proof. this decision to abandon our kurdish allies and turn syria over to russia. iran and turkey will put every radical islamist on steroids a shot in the arm to the bad guys. devastating for the good guys. as far as trump

was concerned, the kurds really weren't that big of a deal in the fight against isis. so no, i don't look at it that way. now the courage are fighting for the land just so you understand. they're fighting for their land. and as somebody wrote in a very, very powerful article today, they didn't help us in the 2nd world war. they didn't help us with no normandy as an example. they mentioned names of different battles. they were there, but they're there to help us with their land. so what exactly do the kurds get out of this relationship with washington? this is yet another instance where people around the world who are observing things are starting to ask, does a relationship with america really pay off gala? martha artsy new york. all right, and just about wrapping up the program for this hour here from moscow. a naughty international. it's just about a 7 30 pm now, saturday night here in the russian capital. we are back soon with more of your weekend. well headlines. ah,

ah least the counter russian state total narrative tires on the phone and the nurse landscape div. uh mm hm. no, no cables. all set up for a week within the 50000. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. when else go ahead with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine. the state aren't russia today and switch r t sport neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with

.
