not monument, a monument to the soldiers to the veterans. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. oh, no. the latest on the international graphic, just 1st thing images from don't yet because we report for the scene of some of the latest ukrainian shell and all the russian pretty, telling the local civilian american military base in syria comes under attack. commit rising tensions between nato allies, turkey on the west, and, and who is targeting of kurdish territory in africa. gone right now, is that possible shift towards using gold instead of think you with

a very room, welcome from all of our team here in moscow. this is on the international with the latest world news update. it's good to have you. with that, we start with the latest from the ground in the russian hassan region where 6 people are being killed by the latest ukranian shelling of the city of new via a. according to local officials. he had troops of stepping up that bombardment of the region which recently joined russia after a referendum on in russia. don, yes, republic, at least one person is being held in 2 more wounded after the ukrainian shelling of residential areas as, according to local authorities. a warning be following images are graphic and distressing. the latest ukrainian attack comes a day off to a missile, hit a cotton factory and don't yet city killing one. civilian autism on culture of reports from the c a r children shutting off the net continue on friday. one woman was killed as

a result. that is her husband and her brother standing right next to her body. the other 3 people who are wounded in this area. now, this is a food storage unit here and on. it's not a single military object in sight. they the shelling of don't ask, continue on a regular basis. as the result. there's a lot of damage to infrastructure. we haven't had any running water here in the last 6 days. also, many places are without electricity. now the husbands of this woman is so familiar person to us to r t a few months ago. as you can see, he's on crutches a few months ago. he came under shilling had the same time as our crew was shelled as well had that time. our correspondent helped him the 1st aid.

did everything possible to save his life? and now just a couple of months later, this man lost his wife from uncle to have hearty. don't ask republican. meanwhile, ukraine continues to suffer power outages across the country after russian strikes on its infrastructure authority, se kia can only me 30 percent of its electricity needs. i think that in the event of an extreme emergency, the city's population cannot be evacuated. earlier. moscow stated the russian as strikes away in response to weapons deliveries from the west and are aimed at degrading the combat capabilities of the ukrainian military was out of my boat and spoke with the mothers of some russian service men on friday. he said the country supplying ukraine with weapons expects he has to maintain the battle for as long as it takes, even if it means fighting to the last ukrainian disposal deficient. mrs. quinn and

soldiers are used as cannon fodder. without an exaggeration, the commanders they're paying no regard to losses at all. and those who behave incorrectly, as they believe are shot in front of the ranks, are guy, so it with their own eyes. and the bodies are lying around. they don't even collect executed. there is a completely different moral atmosphere. we're tied virginia, virginia state senator richard black told us that nato has no interest in the well being of ukraine as long as he has continued fighting moscow. i think there's a lot of truth in what president pohden is saying. there's very little evidence that nato, any of the, any of the european countries have the slightest interest and the well being of ukraine. the ukraine economy has collapsed. the people are in darkness tens and tens of thousands of ukrainians have been killed. many more ukrainian soldiers and

russian. russia has suffered a lot of casualties, but ukraine has had just incredible levels of death and, and woundings. so i think, i think that the, the men of ukraine, the soldiers are being used as cannon fodder. and i don't really think that the nato and the western carriers are all about the country of ukraine. i think it's, it's simply a place to advance their, their strategic objectives. but the people don't matter at all. not the men talk to women, not civilians. no one in ukraine matters to nato. washington says it's investigating friday's missile strike on a u. s. military patrol base in north east in syria to rocket hit the science wall

. another one was that later found that a nearby location where it was apparently abandoned by the attackers for us half a follow up sort of suggesting who could have been behind the strike, which is said to have come without any losses among the american faces personnel or facilities, we have not come to the days of the us, expressed as concerns. i have a fellow nature member turkey as a military operation against kurdish forces in northern syria. ankara has shrugged off the criticism, insisting it has the right to defend itself against what it calls terrorists. recent air strikes and syria directly threaten the safety of us personnel who are working in syria with local partners to defeat isis and maintain custody of more than 10000 isis detainees. no matter who terrace clued with to care will always hold them accountable for every drop of blood they shed. no one can electra to care, which is the only native l i that for dies hand to hand and was victorious. 30 or

long say series of asked right again to lead militant targets in northern syria and research and response to the deadly estoppel terror attack on the 13th of november, which i blamed on curtis groups, which have denied their involvement president, do i also threatens a ground invasion of northern syria and made calls from the international community for would be escalation on career has repeatedly accused us of supporting the kurdish medicines buying a black, a gold with gold gone as vice president has announced the government is considering adults in a new policy to use gold instead of the u. s. told us to make oil purchases. the government is negotiating a new policy regime where our gold rather than our us dollar reserves, will be used to buy oil products. the barger of sustainably mind. gold for oil is one of the most important economic policy changes in gonna,

since its independence. the decision is em, they're protecting gone as foreign currency with us as demands the dollars by oil importers. we couldn't, the country's currency using gold would mean that retailers would no longer need to exchange, told us to import products. or chris haul, a gold and global currency analyst from south africa. se is gone as initiative indicates that solely dollar based trade may not work for everyone. the pitcher towel is one of those things that are linked in to, to help support the dollar. will produce tend to what will that the good arrangement with actually only get dollars for the oil that actually are so that also helps to $200.00. now gone is gone to the point where it's not looking at this arrangement and i think they're saying the dollar doesn't city walk. and i think in the,

in one since with the rather arrival of current people to see that there are alternatives to the dollar. the coin is and you could have private initiative, but gold has to a monetary instrument ah, for magellan chancellor angle america has admitted, she used the immense agreement to buy time for care to prepare for war with russia . despite moscow's efforts to bring peace to ukraine through the international dale, i say contributor rachel marston explains the west keeps saying that it wants peace in ukraine. but if that's really the case, then widened the western guarantors of the minsk records, france and germany enforce that particular piece deal signed in 2014, between ukraine and russia. that was supposed to end the violence by key against the people of the russ a phone, don bass region. something does, doesn't add up. not only did the violence persist,

right under the noses of paris and berlin. but they stood idly by as nato moved in with its training and arming of as of neo nazi proxies. so why didn't they just seize the opportunity to secure peace when they had the chance and the agreement? so the tool to do so? well, we're now starting to get a better understanding of what was really going on. in a recent interview, former german chancellor, uncle merkel admitted that she used the p steel to better prepare ukraine for war with russia. she believed she bought time then, and also later, and the means negotiations for ukraine to be able to better resist a russian attack the men's agreement was hallowed out. now imagine that after signing the paris peace treaty to end world war 2, the access or the allied countries had decided to just use it to get ready for yet another go at or former ukrainian president petra sankoh. also let us live last week that minsk was used to buy time to build up ukrainian forces with nato,

which is a strange thing to be doing right after he had just literally agreed to work to secure peace by signing the deal. when i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least full and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best on forces in eastern europe, according to nato stunned it. so now it makes a lot more sense why washington was able to freely pump $21.00 and a half $1000000000.00 into eastern ukraine. 2014, the region served as the fact of nato bass right up on russia's border while the west was more focused on training for conflict, rather than defusing it, as they had agreed to help do. meanwhile, russia consistently sounded the alarm over the fact that keith was in constant breach of the peace deal. we'll do guarantee the internal crisis in ukraine will

not be resolved, as long as the current care regime avoids fulfilling its international legal obligations. the attempts to unravel the key points of the minster codes is a pause towards a catastrophe. uminski. the good on this is minsk agreements were killed long before the recognition of the people's republic subbed on bass. they were not killed by us or the representatives of the republics, but by the currents key of authorities, i see is not changing from the very beginning. russia did everything to resolve all the contradictions that had arisen by peaceful means. we signed a settlement plan, the men's cords, but the whole course of subsequent events shows that the currents key of authorities are not going to fulfill these agreements. they have publicly and repeatedly stated this fact. nowadays, western officials are quick to repeat the mantra that the conflict in ukraine is the result of and for a vote russian aggression. but every so often a western official let slip that back in ukraine is really about taking the fight

to russia. here's democratic congress met adam shift, for example, most critically the military aid that we provide ukraine helps to protect and advance american national security interests in the region and beyond the united states age ukraine and her people. so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here seeing as how this prior peace deal was never actually taken seriously by the very western actors. he promised to enforce it and was just exploited by ukraine and the west to better prepare for war against russia . what guarantee is there now that history won't simply repeat itself? remember, when nato countries wanted a no fly zone over libya about 10 years ago, and promised that there be no missing creed. but then there was so much mission creep. the president mar, gadhafi was murdered. do the same actors truly want peace or did they just want another chance to regroup and rearm min paper cbs piece is possible. baton is a piece those ukrainians will decide at peace that will respect their rights as

a sovereign people. russian officials the said that they're ready to negotiate. but how was it possible to make good faith deals when the parties involved have already proven that they can't be trusted to keep their word? for me with knowing cool intelligence officer scott, risk essays, nato has been preparing ukrainian forces against russia for at least 8. yes and. ready merkle is admitted that she was just buying time, buying time for what to make ukraine stronger out through nato training. and it wasn't just nato's united states to. so america was involved in this as well. it's clear that all the nations that are accusing russia of being the aggressor, or in fact, a guilty of premeditated war of aggression. this is something that they conceived of in 2014, 2015. you know, the united states put a training facility on the ground and ukraine,

where american military personnel bragged about how every 55 days. they were training a ukrainian battalion to nato standards for the sole purpose of singing their battalion east. so they could fight russians in the eastern ukraine. this has been the goal from day one, ongoing miracle light, the monument crone like the west light. it can never be trusted to get where for turn now to one of our top stories that washington state is investigating. friday's missiles try kind of u. s. military patrol base a ne, in syria, which comes amid a turkish offensive against kurdish militants in the region. 40 goes from damascus . now is mohammed a syrian general, political and military analysts? many thanks for joining because it's nice to see as a what do you make of the missile strike on that. u. s. military patrol based in syria. who do you think? could it be responsible and what sort of message do you think they could be trying to send?

thank you. good evening. actually this sunday, mental problems. what is americans base is doing in syria? actually, if there's a vote. next, we can answer that. american troops are going to are looting and stealing and blundering oil. and we sit in life. so it's a active action against the american behavior against people. so we can say that the, these materials against the american based type of conflict of the type of this year need a sense to see how this is against dominican basis. actually the other thing, the cooperation between what's called the see of democracy forces and the american forces. and i says, we can say that america is going to, of feeding to should have a shuddering. the ice is and also the cause the syrian democracy

forces. so active against v, i mean it can be behavior against it and people still care at this point who is responsible for the strike on the u. s. military patrol base is being investigated . of course, how, how could there's an incident to influence the security situation in the region? actually the, the americans said that took it are going to directly threaten the americans with personal in this base. but the main question, and it meant that one's going to accuse the turkeys and endangering the american troops. but the truth, the truth is it is not making a danger against him. i can prove that is going to, to stop the american looting of oil and other,

other economy a comical from this region. and so you can say that the american and turkish it rules under the table, the, i think operating between turkish america, despite of the we can. so over the table that there is a conflict between them. but under the table, the people cooperating because the strategy one for america as a turkey are the same. there is no difference between american and pictures to study. all of them are going to prepare or do deal or to plan or planning to destroy or do i stay city are going to kill syria people and you see a society in countries. yeah. and she values immunization, and so i don't think that this were a city of these missiles are going to affect or to affect against the vision in this area. because her duties are going to bump

somewhere. american are going to support what's called a going. i also do a support isis. i says, the other face, all the other piece or the other name of what was the other thing. you could say that american troops or american invasion in syria should be a shift shipped out of the routing, gar garcia. i'm fig. assure invasion on figures, occupation also is the see the see. so i can say that the effectiveness of bumping against the vision does not, i guess the reason only, but against only the super people. and what would your thoughts be on russia? do you think rushes in any position to weigh in on what's happening in syria right now? yeah, they're

a good relationship between you. good to hyphen i. i live alone. friendship between 2 young people on to russia, people and also the, the government to go to congress. and this is the argument. but i could say that a higher level of corporation coordination between you and army i, to you, and i should army, to defeat isis. also on do overcome against the truce, which landed on which made by american and took issue of support in syria. mahogany bass retired, we are only 2 are going to to feed these stories of a growth. ok. thank you for your time is making him a 100 a pass for tonight, syria and general political and military analyst appreciate your thoughts. thank you. the french defense minister had said in the, on sunday to these ties between the 2 countries ahead of a possible visit by the french president early next year. well,

the visit is officially of a diplomatic nature. military discussions could also take place. we are not going there to sell military equipment. our aim is to mark the importance of the relationship. but we can show them that european alternatives exist to russian weapons. france is already in the 2nd largest weapon supply off the russia, and the 2 countries have conducted joints naval exercises since $993.00 while from secured a big ticket of sales in the policy, including the lucrative left by to j contrast. and last week, the french president discuss deepening the strategic partnership with india province at the g. 20 summit. me, while you officials have, hey, town at washington accusing it making a fortune from the conflict in ukraine while europe suffers with some saying that the us needs to understand that relations with some of the blocks. that mistake could be a breaking point because it doesn't need from the united states is producing cheap gas that they sell at a high price. and in addition,

they have taken measures of massive state aid for some sectors that fully throw our projects out of the market. so i think it's not in accordance with the rules of the world trade organization. and i think it's unfriendly. some countries including friendly ones, sometimes achieve astronomical prices for their gas. of course, that brings with it problems that we have to talk about. political analysts, nuclear markovich says you are paying the sourcing to wake up to the fact that the us benefits the most from the conflict in ukraine, presses looking for some i would say a strong image. india is a strong partner. manual macro has repeated this again. recently that india is a strong partner, i think that france also wants to sway in, in it's an it's strategy with i would say china in the mindset behind trying to get tramps in india has a strong partnership in asia. there's something that a manual mark on france is really keen on building up. i think that's one of the main objectives and of course the 2nd one is sales today. the french economic

export import balance is negative. for france, it has to export more weapons and arms is a traditional sector. we're francis, really good in. so they're going to try to take advantage that as well to sell arms even though if weapons, even though if officially, that's not the reason i think manual. my pro wants to sealed a stronger relationship with modi and strengthen the french position in asia. and now the european union, as always, is just waking up to the fact that the us and other countries are taking advantage of this war. and they're just very go very naive and thinking that maybe they're defending democracy, defending human rights. i think they don't really believe what they're saying, but they're saying it's up front when in reality there's any canonical war behind this and the europe, it can't face it. now hundreds of gathered in dublin to protest against the influx of ukrainian refugees into islands. protest is blocked the road

near a former energy company building that is set to become a shelter refugees, local complaint that the government is bringing ukrainians into the area at night time. without consultation. crowds have taken to the streets throughout the week, demanding the government will move aside and seek, has the same time another ronnie took place in dublin over the deepening housing crisis, which is 4000 to live in emergency accommodation. more details on this now from journalist who's now in dublin. say many thanks for joining goes shade. tell us more about these protests. yeah, nicky, i think it's important to understand the context in which the protests are occurring. orleans in the midst of a significant social housing crisis, a health care crisis is simply not enough houses to, to buy or rent. and that's been the case for, for many years. and so this influx of ukrainian refugees over 70000. i think at this stage in 3 countries, there are 5000000 people and is really putting

a huge amount of pressure on already saturated systems. and we're starting to see very nasty protests, not particularly against the ukrainians, but against the policies of the government. and which are, seems totally blind to the realities that our, our services and capacity to accept. refugees are obviously saturated at this point . a lot of people shy will be looking at these protests. you know, people not wanting refugees to come into the country, know, be coating them, race to extend, you know, maybe they've been organized by far, right? activists. what do you make of those claims? will of course look the the government you are responsible for the gross incompetence that has led to the situation. not just for the incoming refugees, not just from ukraine, but from the middle east, them from north africa, etc. that the, the, the reality is that it, it incompetence of the government that has led to a situation that this state can't care for its own people. it's

a very small country. it's a very wealthy contributor. we seem to be serially incompetent in delivering a housing solution which is a fit for purpose and similarly with health care. so when, when of course we invite basically, you know, tens of thousands of refugees over a one percent of the population of arlington. that was essentially ukrainian within the last number of months, it's going to cause huge social problems and, and there's a huge threat to social cohesion here. now, as a result of this incompetence, the work that there was a why, why the authorities insisting on housing ukrainian refugees instead of addressing their own people's needs. well, of course this is a political issue. i mean, the, you, arden has been a very enthusiastic and sort of the poster boy for the you. of course we were doing this for told. and despite the fact that people in these areas like in east wall and building or protesting people in small rural towns are protesting. not because

they don't want to welcome people who are a need is purely because there isn't a no space for these individuals. does not have services, hospitals, doctors, and also are, you know, and tourism industry, which is crucially important. it's worth over 15000000000 euros to the economy, pre coverage. and now 30 percent of our hotels are occupied by refugees. and these people are disproportionately placed into rural towns which rely on and you know, tourism for their survival. and, and of course that's the double whammy. so and if these individuals being settled in the, in the, in the leafy districts of dublin for it's, i'd say things may be slightly different, nicky, but they're parsed out and pushed down into the margins in small towns with no facilities, no medical facilities and even ukrainian refugees themselves are complaining in some instances that there aren't an, a facility, school, places, doctors, et cetera. so it's, it's a really, it's a case of terrible political management and with an eye on brussels, of course,

to do the right thing. meanwhile, an irish people on waiting lists for housing are feeling that they're being left in 2nd place for any protest. so an isolated case, something that will paint throughout the indicator buddha public. and i surely don't think it's going to piece around of course the media here and there. the government would say these are fire right, active the stuff fire, right activist, are concerned people who feel aggrieved that they pay taxes. they've contributed to society. and yet they are now and being supplanted by ukrainian refugees. we're getting very generous welfare package. the arrive at the airport. they're given a tax number. they're given access to the welfare payments on housing. remember, people are waiting on housing lists in order for years, for social housing, with the state of suddenly found over a 1000000000 euros to build modular villages. and this is obviously going to cause

consternation and anger in a system which is incapable of looking after its own people to invite in tens of thousands of people with a language issue. and, and sort of add that on as a level and suggest that it won't cause problems. it's just orderly, ludicrous, and like you say, well, thanks for joining us. i'm bringing us that information. that's journalist shay. bunch paper express gathering has wrapped up in st. petersburg, where the blocks number stays presented, their projects on the investment opportunities to weld business leaders before i'm hosting delegations from partner countries from around the world as well as bricks . class members during the meeting participants discuss their management experience and the potential development of joint projects. the ceo of the camera based global cooperation group stays the brakes, plus 4 m gets countries from africa and opportunity to connect with the new wealth era. now that we are here, it's a real pleasure for us to be here and we wish that there,

all this partners should be open for us to crate. a very big forum and create a market. and in telling market between africa on this in bricks countries because this in paddling market will be able to present or to make sure that we develop our continents true. the willingness of the counties of the in break because this counties of, in brief account is, were willing to help africa positively for india development skills. now that we are here are we are talking directly with the partners will meet solutions and things that will help us to make sure that all what we have done and what the weight we give in should be positive. and the only thing that will help by attending this fall is that africa has to come out of many a link of colonization that we had and connect with the new era in the world. the new era in the world are countless of the embryo. and these companies of the increase add account is that we.
