ah, ah ah, [000:00:00;00] with 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 view, i see no reason why these, these scores continues. the interest of those who wants to continue least in the old blames, blame game on russia. russia's deputy foreign minister dismisses the very idea of

a potential nuclear war as the comments on global power structures in an exclusive interview to r t. 3 people are reported killed and more than 20 injured in a deadly blast in 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 that's why i'm coming to demonstrate what disappointment and south africa my spend on douglas walden for most of the main hundreds of people gather in front of a prison in pretoria to protest the release of the convicted murderer of a self african anti apartheid leader. with hello there, you're watching r t international. i am your host donald quarter. 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. rush, us invasion of ukraine has brought death, devastation and unspeakable suffering. we all remember the horace of boucher. 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 commissions deputy chief spokeswoman dana spin aunt said in

a later 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 $100000.00 killed or injured ukraine. soldiers that u. s. joint chiefs chairman mark, milly cited earlier this month. okay, so then where is 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 the figure of 9000 ukrainian true bloss is back in august. so why didn't the you commission site that as it source, it was picked up by the western press and is publicly available just like the american estimate of the 100000. now, given the massive discrepancy between washington's estimate of ukrainian troop losses and what keeps military leadership had, pre missy 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 in 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 in statement which was not deleted was where she said russia must pay financially for the devastation that had caused the damage is so far estimated by that you at

600000000000 euros. the e commission chief has also hinted at where the money could come from, stacy, 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 without partners a structure to manage these funds and invest them. we would then use the proceeds for ukraine, reminded me of the western responses that you know that you are against the company, that companies even pricing. they tend to sometime in the next them, i want it down for a project by, for a you back up already. and then you get the, all from the western nation. now we've been the case the really about, you know, who is in a position to make a judgement, to basically be thinking, 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, that's a punch in our i would say that the nobility and his offering to europe. you only go back probably for the quarter all for the new and, and how it has been largely it's more difficult to make that complex mandatory age. you're cleaning it, 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 discuss the current global outlook with russia's. deputy foreign minister said get a cough in an exclusive interview with our team. this is because of you as 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 the decision to postpone. ah, the already planned a regular session though by electoral consulting commission, due to be held these very days in cairo, egypt. but we need 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 us once to come back to the table and resume strategic security dialogue with russia will, will be their terms like nuclear,

a war on world war 3. we're increasingly hearing that both in the media and a government level. what's the purpose of that? who benefits from this type of aggressive rhetoric? i truly regret that this happens. i am disturbed by the fact that 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 of 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 of us 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 back 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 on lee political but legal and other consequences. so

we measure our pronouncements with great care. we do not abandon needs irrespective of how our adversaries 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 or a c. e e's are collapsing as a structure. ah, it's being cynically abused by the very same a group of countries to diminished importance. alternative views on global architecture and on european architecture. so ah,

absence of meanest oliver in lloyd's is regrettable. but this is also a sign on how furious o adversaries are in jonesville for just destroying that fun. but men's off 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, another news, 3 people have reportedly been killed and more than 20 wounded in a suicide car bombing in pakistan. a militant group known as the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack 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. or are we spoke with c, n colored 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 learning document on now we have a government and up on a sunday the thought a mind 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 ttp enjoys safe haven. they enjoy so clean relations with the taliban and they are. you have no interest in bringing any stop that is warfare. the only option, the government of pakistan actually has declared open war against the thought of the ttp. not that don about 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, taking this to a bloodshed level, because if you wage war against the d. b, they will 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 wants sitting across the worry about a son or not wanting to be friends and hold up there. us. 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, voicing 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 kidney look. cuz i'm what do i also doing yet today is to absorb the end of me? no, they'll tell nothing again to i'd say that. but what does live in south africa must bend up dilution while losing myself. man, he is not good temple is our government. they must do something please. for hours. i'm here to show myself put to the kiss, hung from movie to the is the c p into the amc and to the south african population in general, who believed that disobey, unfortunately didn't unfair. that junk loose 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 topler 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 sentiments that is really grabbing south africa on twitter and other social media platforms is why was the word and fortunate 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 wounds cuz i know for us he will never die. because i never presented aspirational with 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 either legal steps or going forward, sorta did this decision and can be reversed. we will, we are, we just coming out of me to consulting our lawyers. and we've been in touch with them over the last few days to see how to take up this matter and legally. because

what was done was treated 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, who passed just the humbling this sincere respect for them. but 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, honey was a man loved by the people you're there, cutter, german years. they're not there monro fall, or is there one of the community, or is there a fight for something that you want to achieve to terms of the generation, the end of food, you manage, you understood stuff because he had a stick, a black nation. he understood it exactly what. what is it that we're wondering? does it change his mind as a sure soldier?

does a soldier admin any dies, simple 5. even now we still shocked about date. was the steward quickly are supposed to be a president of the country? was fighting for their rights for many the decision to release. yeah. news while loose on payroll leaves 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 cut keys finished. why? this country? if i can come to several of you my to my friend, i don't read you head. i be fed to my me to my cellphone, to my time ended charmer, i'm to son. so he probably think i over today, chris honey remains a hero, not only in south africa,

but beyond. and if south africa was robbed of nelson mandela by a pot of tate, then you lose while loose and his co conspirators rub the country of its future cannibal. it has have a lot of heat in johannesburg, the or leader of the people's republic of china. james, the men 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 chin tournaments 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

a terrorist groups by israel as well as later raids on their headquarters is really 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 movers by israel and further scrutinize his actions in palestine. they also are 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 and in your statute, this is called the preventive and preventive statement, or preventive hole or something like that. you have to do this. you can't keep silent. another think is about also the victims fall assign has been a good this, a international crime scene so long. and you haven't, you know, move one practicum is still a do haven't taken any specific action like the warrant dentists, for instance, against the claims. this is what we say. we said bureau 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 done yet. 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 had a ukranian plain, not far from archer mosque in the done yet people's republic. meanwhile, residential areas of done yet continue to come under ukrainian shelling romance calls to reports from that scene. ukrainian nationalists continues to shell residential areas of for the next lately they've been using a lot of nato ammunition. for example, we are in the clue bishops kit, 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 hoofs 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 knock me out. my fate play opened the window and the door and probably that was the only thing that saved me. come down, every one is alike. god has speeded 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 marse, multiple launch rockets were used against a railway station. thankfully, there were no casualties there either. room on call for have arti 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 al salvador. the claims come, despite washington's own recent admissions of interfering and 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 battling 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, who 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. busy 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 my 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 descent 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 imposed by the united states and a flood of us made weapons as made ow salvatore, 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 any one 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, but 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 went on,

don't mess around other people wearing them. i'm only for a very good until mine video and a former see, i don't really for a very good cause. but according to u. s. officials interfering in 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 a 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. the ukranian 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, a 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 no one else seemed wrong when old please. just don't hold any world yet to see out these days because the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground might
