and engage with the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the commission chief deletes a post in which she claimed 100000 ukrainian soldiers had been killed in the ukrainian conflict figures 10 times more than the one announced by ukrainian officials in august with mr. william our youth. i see no reason why these, these scores continues feeds in interest. so those who want to continue to be believed in the old blames blame game on russia. russia, deputy foreign minister dismisses the very idea of a potential nuclear war as the comments on global power structures in an exclusive

interview. 2 r t. 3 people are reported killed and more than 20 injured in a deadly blast and pakistan. it comes after the pakistani taliban terrorist group called for attacks to take place across the country, following the end of a ceasefire and had little i'm coming to demonstrate how, what discipline meant in south africa must end up challenge welding from us. and they made with hundreds of people gather in front of a prison in pretoria to protest the release of the convicted murderer of a south african anti apartheid leader. with hello there, you're watching our to international. i'm your host donald corridor. welcome to the program. our top story, 100000 ukranian troops. that's the european commission chief's estimated death toll

for the war and ukraine. she made the claim in a video posted on twitter, which was later deleted russia. invasion of ukraine has brought death devastation and unspeakable suffering. we all remember the horace of butcher it is estimated that more than 20000 civilians and more than 100000 ukrainian military officers have been killed so far. so there are a whole lot of questions here. first, where did european commission president ursula vander line get the figure from of a 100000 ukranian troops killed in the conflict in ukraine. secondly, why were those figures so quickly deleted? not even corrected or updated, but just simply memory hold. did you catch herself out spreading fake news or something? now the commission's deputy chiefs spokeswoman dana spin, aunt said in elite or tweet that the $100000.00 killed figure should have included

both killed and injured ukrainian. troops, she called the figure an external estimate. now that would have perfectly aligned with a $100000.00 killed or injured grey and soldiers that u. s. joint chiefs chairman, mark, milly cited earlier this month. okay, so then where's the clarification with the updated accurate figures? what exactly is the source of this quote, external estimate that the you consider to be legitimate enough to have underline site in a speech, to someone at brussels, just write these speeches on their bathroom breaks or something, and then just pass it to vander lines, teleprompter person on the way back to their desk, why did russell simply delete the figure from everywhere, like the information never even existed. a spokesman for ukrainian president vladimir zalinski calls the 100000 figure extremely far from reality. ukraine's military chief had previously said that the figure of 9000 ukrainian true bloss is

back in august. so why didn't the u commission site that as its source, it was picked up by the western press that is publicly available, just like the american estimate of the 100000. now, given the massive discrepancy between washington's estimate of finance replaces ads . what keeps military leadership had previously conveyed them to be brussels is really in a position here to act as a sort of tie breaker. are they just not interested in giving people an accurate depiction of the human loss and suffering that the west continues to enable with weapons and funding instead of pushing for peace negotiations? the only thing that this inexplicable backtracking does is so a lack of trust in the actions, information and motivations of european officials. one part of underlay and statement which was not deleted was where she said russia must pay financially for the devastation that it caused the damage is so far estimated by that you at $600000000000.00 euros. the u commission chief has also hinted at where the money

could come from the south and we have the means to make russia pay. we have blocked 300000000000 euros of the russian central bank reserves. in the short term, we could create with our partners a structure to manage these funds and invest them. we would then use the proceeds for ukraine. it reminded me of the western responses that you know that you are against the company that companies, chrisy. they tend to stop the time that the national my down for a project by orient you back and then the all from the western nation. now even the case is really about, you know, who is in the position to make a judgment to basically what is why, what is wrong? and then what is the result? what is the punishment, even energy?

and it's archie. so that's what i would say. you don't have the ability to solve your appeal, all the things you probably for the fall, it's called all for the you have been luckily it's more difficult to make that complex mandatory age for your cleaning brackets. it's not an overstatement to say the world right now. is undergoing considerable transformations and the emergence of new points of tension to get a grasp out all that my colleague unit know neil discussed the current global outlook with russia's deputy foreign minister. so gave cough in an exclusive interview with our team. this is because of us actions of that just for gas on fire now and again that we couldn't continue this business as usual. i recognise that russia i took decision to postpone.

ah, the already planned a regular session of bilateral consulting commission, due to be held these very days in cairo, egypt. but we did so because we couldn't just ignore ah, what has been an ongoing attempt by the us to add a problems to the place of this u. s. administration. the by an administration decided to halt these dialogue. it happens after our special media variation started without any explanation whatsoever, unilaterally, but the moment a u. s. wants to come back to the table and resume strategic security dialogue with russia will, will be there terms like nuclear, a war on world war 3. we're increasingly hearing that both in the media and on

a government level. what's the purpose of that? who benefits from this type of aggressive rhetoric? i truly regret that these happens. i am disturbed by the fact that them, the very idea of a nuclear war became over time, more and more acceptable if you wish. for general public, it's in admissible him our view. i see no reason why these discourse continues. it's in interest. so those who want to stir fur further on the general sense of uncertainty and find ways how to continue this litany of blames, blame game on russia. we can not accept it. it's completely completely absorbed them has nothing to do with the reality. rushes foreign ministry has said multiple times that the u. s. is increasingly close to becoming

a party in the conflict in at ukraine. don bass through its weapons, supplies to key f u. s. veterans, private contractors. they have been at documented widely fighting against russian troops. so is america actually not a party in the conflict? we do believe that us and others come closer and closer to the point when they would be regarded as parties to these conflicts. the risks associated with this evolution and development are undeniable. and i a huge and they're growing, but we all so ah, act in our pronouncements, in the most responsible manner, we understand and appreciate that such a statement may have not only political, but legal and other consequences. so we measure our pronouncements with great care . we do not abandon needs irrespective of how our adversary's and opponents

describe or interpret this just because they don't like us. we do so deliberately not to always stretch our own messaging and also let me be very frank, to maintain a great deal of flexibility on how to configure our further action. big attempts rights, no deputy foreign minister on for months really previously to isolate russia. oil see, ease are collapsing as a structure. ah, it's being cynically abused by the very same a group of countries to diminished importance of alternative views on global architecture and on european architecture. so absence of minutes, the law girls in lloyds is regrettable. but this is also

a sign on how furious, oh adversaries are in terms of law, just destroying the fundamentals of procedures. not only that fundamental political and security architecture, but the very essence on how the international system works. they are afraid of truth and they continue these a culture of denial in diplomacy. ah, in other news, 3 people have reportedly been killed and more than 20 wounded in a suicide car bombing and pakistan militant group known as the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. the explosion occurred outside a medical facility near the afghanistan border. officials say, at least 15 of the victims were police officers, were there to maintain security. and the pakistani taliban said the attack was revenge for the recent killing of one of the groups founding members. the militant

said in recent days, they would conduct a fresh wave of attacks across the country as it accuses the government of having violated a prior peace agreement. as military operations are ongoing against eugene in different areas. so it is imperative for you to carry out attacks wherever you can in the entire country. well, are we spoke with c ad khaled mohammad who has an international security analyst and the director general of the command 11 think tank. he believes the terrorist threat is so high that the only option the pakistani government has is to engage in all out conflict with the militants. the army of barcus, i'm with headstrong into afghanistan. they put a lot of pressure on the army government on now we have a government in up on a sunday, the taliban, which many people consider to believe is a part of the pakistani military establishment. ah, the thought yvonne has assured focused on that their soil would not be used against any other country. yet the tv b enjoy safe haven. they enjoy so clean relations with the taliban and they are,

you have no interest in bringing any stop to this warfare. he only options the government of pockets on actually has this clear open war against the thought of the ttp, not the thought of our nevada son, but the thought he keep donavon pakistan. we are headed towards a military solution because even though none of us like the idea of the military being involved and taking that taken display of bloodshed level. because if you wage war against the d. b, they would wage war against the people of pakistan from 2007 until 2009. we lost 80000 lives. now we're not ready to sacrifice 80000 people again when the family run sitting across the border. part of son are not willing to be friends and, and to hold up there. ah, and now to south africa where hundreds of people have gathered to protest the expected release of the man who murdered a south african anti apartheid leader. demonstrators marched to the walls of the prison where the murderers currently being held. number of protesters held signs

with the slogan. don't kill chris hanny. again forcing their outrage at the release of the prisoner on parole avenue. i'm coming yet to demonstrate our disappointment, and also our demand for an inquest on the keeping of cosette. what do i also doing yet today is to absorb the end of me? no, they'll sell up against what i did by what the zip in south africa must bend up dilution while losing my for the main here is not good dep. i'll is our government. they might do something believe for hours. i'm yeah, to show my support to the quiz hung family to the is a c p into the agency and to the south african population in general. who believe that does they unfortunately, den unfair that johnny's release is at least on pole, just days before his scheduled release, the man was stabbed in prison,

has been held behind bars for 3 decades. and the court's decision to free him has stirred up many painful memories. for people, artes karbala toddler picks up the story ya, new swallows is said to have been stabbed in his cell y, one of the inmates, and he has subsequently been rushed to hospital. the statement by the correctional services says that there was an unfortunate fare being incident and the sentiment that is really grabbing south africa on twitter and other social media platforms is why was the word unfortunate used as part of that statement of the 7029 years in prison for killing south african communist parties. general secretary chris honey, the countries i ask, what has grunted parole to polish immigrant? yeah, new swallows. one of the issues at the knob of were, loses released from prison is that he must serve the rest of his parole conditions

here in south africa. and was given a permanency residence by the minister of home affairs in order to keep him here. part of the deal is that he cannot use his polish passports or his identity in order to leave the country. chris honey was considered by many as the natural success up to nelson mandela and a radical who would have brought much need a change to south africa. that judgment has seemingly opened up old woods cuz i know for us he will never die. because i never presented aspirational for people's liberation. he was a fighter for our people who have rolled out a program to protest this thing to show our displeasure and were taken other legal steps are going forward. so that this decision as can be reversed where we, where we are, we just coming out of a meeting, consulting, live our lawyers. and we've been in touch with them over the last few days to see how to take up this meta illegal. because what i was doing was rated arrogantly by

the constitutional court, which, by the way, we want to caution them in the seat of the constitutional courts. when you pass judgments, when you pass just the humbling this sincere respect for them by the we saw our guns authoritarianism, disdainful mis disrespects at obit charges basically same. we are in charge. that's absolutely nonsensical. and you don't just have to take the words of his comrades. chris holly was a man loved by the people. you are the cutter german. yours, they're not to. monro far, rose, their men of dignity. is there a fighter for something that you want to achieve through turns of the generation, the understood you manage you understood? south africans yet of the black nation. he understood it exactly what. what is it that one does? it shakes me as a sure soldier. does a soldier admin any dies,

simple 5. even now we still shocked about date. was the q r quick. you are supposed to be a president, of course was fighting for their rights for many the decision to release. yeah. lose why lose on payroll lives a bitter taste of injustice and even resentment because he has never come clean about his motives or the people involved in his crime. for the honey family, this is a bitter pill to swallow dish conky she finished. well continued, if i can come to someone who can get my to my i don't read your head, i said to my family to myself, to my time i ended charmer and her son. so you probably think over today chris, honey remains a hero. not only in south africa, but beyond. and if south africa was robbed of nelson mandela by our politics,

then you lose were loose and his co conspirators robbed the country of its future cannibal. it'll have a lot of tea and join his back for leader of the people's republic of china. jag z mean has passed away at the age of 96, he reportedly had leukemia and eventually succumbed to organ failure. mister jang served as the country's president for a decade. he also was the general secretary of the chinese communist party and he rose to power following the chinaman square protests of 1989. brought his term as the parties head, china's economy experienced wide economic expansion almost 200 palestinian civil society organizations have written 2 letters to the international criminal court, calling on it to take action over israel's conduct letters highlight the designation of 6 palestinian organizations as terrorist groups by israel as well as

later raids on their headquarters. israel accused them of operating as part of a network run by the popular front for the liberation of palestine. that's a leftist group, considered to be a terrorist organization by israel and the west. the civil society groups which penned the letters have called on the court to condemn the movies by israel and further scrutinize his actions in palestine. they also words the issuing of statements demanding israel stop practices, which according to palestinians, are human rights violations. we discussed this with the general director of one of the palestinian groups which signed the letter and was among those designated terrorist and rated by israel. when we send the letter to the cold just to encourage them to move. that's the issue because to designate us and it's not the 1st time to be honest with you. we have been under smear campaigns for the last 15 years. we said to them you have to use also to come out,

you know, just to defend. also your partner, as i see and you do this or put it in your statute. this is called the preventive and preventive statement, or preventive cold or something like that. you have to do this. you can't keep silence. another thing is about also the victims. palestine has been this attack or internationally crime scene so long and you haven't, you move one practicum is still a do haven't taken any specific action like the warrant dentists, for instance, against the minimums. this is what we say. we said euro or justice delayed. justice denied. that's what we said for the looking at the situation on the

battlefield, russia says it's regained control of a number of territories in the danielle people's republic. russian defense ministry reports up to 80 ukrainian troops have been killed in the latest attack. and that has destroyed a tank and 3 armored vehicles as well. it comes as russian air defenses hit a ukrainian plain not far from archer mosque in the dynamic people's republic. meanwhile, residential areas of vignettes continue to come under ukrainian shelling romance calls to reports from that scene. ukrainian nationalists continued to shell residential areas of for don't ask lately they've been using a lot of nato ammunition for example. we are in the clue vicious kid district of the nest at the moment. and this area was shelled by high caliber natal made rockets. now this is a 155 millimeter caliber show that landed right here in the residential area. you

can see that the houses here have all been damaged. little hooks with blast was extremely powerful. on the other side, everything is destroyed. there were 2 shells, and the 2nd one fell somewhere over there. the blast threw me out of bed. for the day shall quite not fail my fate. li opened the window and the door and probably that was the only thing that saved me to come down. everyone is a lie. god has painted us. yes, he did. fill up really feel um yeah. when the shelling occurred, i felt something hot hit my neck. the window of my car, which was in the garret, shattered the windows in my house, blew out the fence was damaged in other houses along the street. the windows were also smashed. thankfully no one was hurt during this particular attack. however, in other areas of the nest to day, we already found out about 2 people who were wounded also elsewhere in the republic . in the city of ambrosia of co op for high mars,

multiple launch rockets were used against a railway station. thankfully, there were no casualties there either. room on cauthrin, r t, done as republic. once again, the u. s. has accused a foreign state of meddling in its elections this time, apparently, it's the president of the central american nation of el salvador. the claims come, despite washington's own recent admissions of interfering in other countries when american interests are at stake. here's archie's caleb lobby. with the story, the u. s. state department decided it was time to take up the issue of election meddling once again. this time they took aim at the central american nation of el salvador. throughout our last electoral process, we noticed with alarm increasingly direct attempts by some salvadorans to directly influence certain electoral outcomes in the united states. as we have repeatedly made clear, this is unacceptable. the will of the people must not be undermined by foreign

influence. so what in the world are they talking about? well, a woman who ran for congress in the recent mid term vote issued a statement recently saying many of the online attacks directed against her originated from el salvador as president naive boot kelly. she cited tweets that he made against her. i hope that all my salvadoran, mexican honduran, guatemalan, dominican venezuelan brothers and all latin americans in california 35th district, do not vote for norma j taurus. she does not work for you. she only seeks to keep our country's underdeveloped. so the president of a foreign country tweeting constitutes election. madeline. this sounds a bit paranoid and delusional on the part of us leaders. after all, the idea that all it takes to influence the u. s. election results is a tweet by a foreign leader. that sounds a bit unhinged. the allegation is especially hard to take seriously when you look

at the many decades of efforts to influence the political system of other countries by the united states. take al salvatore, for example, during the 1980s el salvador was overrun with right wing paramilitary groups. many countries and south and central america sent their soldiers to fort benning and georgia to attend the school of the americas and learn techniques to crush dissents and leftist opposition violence from us. trained paramilitaries caused tens of thousands of people in el salvador to flee. then in the mid nineties, bill clinton allowed their temporary protected status to expire and many were forced to return to their home country decades of war. busy imposed by the united states and a flood of us made weapons as made ow, salvador, a rather violent place. gang violence is a plague on everyday life in the country as a particularly high murder rate. recently the country experienced an entire day

without one murder and that caused headlines and was very notable because it rarely happens. so if anyone should be complaining about foreign meddling, it should be the salvador ends. we recently seen a number of washington officials speaking up and talking about how far americas foreign meddling south of the border goes. i do want to ask a follow up when we were talking about what is capable, what you need to do to be able to plan a coo and use you cited your expertise, having planned, coos, i'm not going to get into the specifics bub successful cuz i wrote about venezuela in the book and it turned out not to be successful who ever tried to metal and other countries election. oh probably. but it was for the good of the system in order to avoid the communists from thinking over. for example, in europe, in 474049, the greeks and the italians we, we don't do that. oh, i don't mess around other people and i'm them. i'm only from very good, you know,

to mind video and i was former see i don't really for a very good cause. but according to u. s. officials interfering and other countries funding death squads and paramilitaries and overthrowing elected governments. that's just democracy and helping countries back on to the correct path. but watch out for tweet by a foreign countries president. that is a violation of sovereignty, that cannot be tolerated. caleb mob artsy new york, one person's been wounded in an explosion at the ukrainian embassy and madrid. kiev confirmed the incident and has ramped up security at its missions abroad for it shows police cordoning off the area. the bomb used in the explosion was headed in a package, according to ukrainian b, ukrainian ambassador to spain and embassy worker was said to have opened the parcel

wall outside, but threw it away when they realized what it was. that's when the blast occurred. now we go to the united states where the san francisco police departments proposal to use potentially deadly robots. and its operations has been approved by the local board of supervisors. while police officials state they have employed the technology for years in serving warrants according to it's the assistant chief. the new proposal is aimed at allowing the robots to be deployed with explosive charges . in cases such as active shooters or suicide bombers. the new policy was approved by the city with the clarification that the use of deadly force is only to be authorized by high ranking officers. this is lead san francisco's public defender to raise the alarm saying it's leading to a further militarization of the department and an aggressive attitude towards citizens. that's the news for this hour. thanks for watching our to international. and we hope you have

a great day. ah ah ah ah .
