when it comes to a blue origin, a for sure. sherman yes, that was good enough and this is a a warning, disturbing images ahead. 3 people are killed after key ups forces shell residential areas of done yet. local official say, nato supplied shells were used in the attack. berlin claims a famine that occurred nearly a century ago in soviet ukraine was genocide that says residents of the media say germany has failed to adequately a tone for a massacre. it committed there around the same time making a stand congolese people protest against the presence of a un mission in the country saying it's only worsened by the security situation

there. that's a ceasefire between the military and rebel forces breaks down with just after 4 pm here in the russian capital. and you're watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now we start this news our from the with the latest from the don boss region, at least 3 people have been killed and 5 more wounded after ukrainian forces shelled civilian areas in the done yet people's republic. that's according to local authorities. a warning you may find the following video, disturbing, official say key halves forces have launched dozens of artillery shells including those supplied from nato states against civilian areas since friday morning. a number of residential buildings and shops were also damaged in those attacks. ortiz reliant culture of reports from the area, and again, this is a warning some upcoming images may be disturbing. ukrainian nationalists continue

to terrorize peaceful civilians. here in that done as one of the bodies is right here. behind me, this woman was probably walking into a store when a shell landed right here in the very busy street right next to her, her bus stop. judging from what i'm seeing here on the ground, her head was blown off. now there are plenty of shops here, plenty of pedestrians. i've spoken to a woman who was in the store. ah, well doing her work to earn a shilling and this is what she said. yeah, mother, i was working on a see machine when the 1st shell hit, the windows rattled, and one to 2nd felt the glass blue inside. i got to run deeper into the building. then there was silence and the smell, something burning. i went out into the street and saw a dead woman and another wound it and they say in a nearby store,

another woman died. so as the day progresses, the number of casualties continues to mount. there is another person who was killed by ukrainian nationalist, so looks like his body was ripped into 2 pieces and are right next to him. his his dog that he was proudly walking when ukrainians showed this area in the next. judging from the remains of this shell, ukraine used multiple launch rockets systems to sar gets vis neighborhoods. and judging from all of the shrapnel hall in this building, this particular shell was design in order to cause as much damage as possible. take a look at this car. thankfully, the owner was not in it, but it looks like its sustained quite a lot of damage as well for one cause for i've already done this republic

later in the program, interviews with veterans who have served in russia's military operation, shared exclusively with rti, one of them features, air force officer, alias is off who came out of a dog fight and the combat zone victorious. don't miss what this king of the skies has to say later on. ah, german chancellor, olive sholtes has held a phone call with vladimir putin on security issues with ukraine on the top of the agenda. that's his rushes leader, criticized the west's destructive practice of arming ukraine as keeping peace out of reach our t segers donna has the details on that. if you were to compare 2 major releases that were published both by the german and by the russian side, the latter one, the russian one. it would be much, much more informative and lengthy compared to that that came in the german language and there from the german press service. and it kind of could be a hint at the fact that the russian president had

a lot more to tell his german counterpart. for instance, of course, he brought up the issue that germany keeps the, it's arms pouring into ukraine, which is essentially if it's essentially fuel for the conflicts, it's arms, it's money and everything. so vladimir putin has pointed out that germany is doing everything that it can. and even beyond even even undermining its own defenses and its own defensive capabilities, germany is doing everything that it's fueling there. so conflict added of who's stimulates the are all the nationalists ah, battalions out there in ukraine, which are very, very, ideologically motivated. so the russian president has called on germany to reconsider it's a position all of sholtes came to will. he approached this phone conversation with an idea of looking like a dove of looking like a peacemaker. but really the conditions, the pre conditions that, that he once again has laid out in front of latimer pohden. those are cur, viewed as completely unacceptable by russia. for instance, all of short,

he did cool honor of finding the diplomatic solution, think alana to summer, but we have to go back to the agreements which we had in the last decades and have been the basis for the order of peace and security in europe. basically, he has been calling on the diplomatic solution through russia completely pulling out its troops out of the country. and moscow has repeatedly reiterated that this is out of the question that moscow will not sit behind a negotiating table. if these are the preconditions to talk, are also sholtes talked about, of course, how he wants to revert things back to how they were a by, it could be for the russian lucille formation in ukraine. but well, according to the russian foreign minister speaking just yesterday, that is out of the question simply which is up abusive and when at some point in time, all western neighbors and former porters suddenly become interested in somehow restoring joint work on you. broken security. then restoration will not work because

restoration means what was before. but there will be no business as usual business . so russia most definitely does one piece, but it doesn't want piece on the conditions that the west is right now. basically of laying out rushes, foreign ministry has accused germany of his, of distorting historical facts to serve its political agenda. that's after the bonus dog passed a resolution to officially declare a famine that occurred around a century ago and soviet ukraine. a genocide to german political elite attempts to belittle its guilt using artificially contracted acts of genocide by ukrainian nationalists radicals and blaming the u. s. i saw for it the german elite tries to whitewash the memory of countless inhumane crimes of unprecedented scale committed by nazi germany. in the 2nd world war, the vast majority of german parliament members supported the move to call the depths of millions of people political murder by the soviet leadership. that's

despite the fact that the famine took place, not justin ukraine, but in other parts of the soviet union as well, including russia and moscow even provided food ukraine at the expense of other regions to end the hunger. let's take a closer look at the tall ukrainians paid during the war during world war 21300000 ukrainians died and nazi concentration camps. and about the same number of troops were killed fighting against the germans. 15 marshals and generals along the front were from ukraine, and 16 percent of the red army personnel were ukrainian, which is 7000000 people. we spoke to conrad ren, cause he's a polish journalist who discussed how the events of the last century are interpreted. we can discuss about the so called the whole, the more the catastrophe and grain and our solving regions in the, on the little like this on the political. but speaking about the lego bodies,

he's absolutely clear. that's where it's not faced and not meet the definition lego definition of debt aside because there was absolutely no intent to destroy the cranial people that reagan nascent. but on the political side, well, course we can, we can, we can think about the d. motion element of that promotion of the, of government vision of history. this extremely dangerous. because while we have to remember that the president never face the, not the boundaries passed out of the, of the gradient color browsers we've, we've never faced and never discussed truly and honestly about that taking part in the holocaust by creating the collaborative. so whoa, and i suppose i have to remind that the ability to say what the decline of the key

of site to accept the responsibility of creating and that is for dental side against all these, julie's and multiple grading and people. while germany re brands, the devastation as genocide, berlin has refused to pay the citizens of the southern african nation of namibia, what they consider to be adequate reparations for colonial era massacre. let's take a look at what happened in the maybe all that time at that time. ah, ah with ah

the leader of the namibian traditional leaders association believes germany is trying to distance itself from responsibility for its past actions. it seems german is so that is specifically avoiding to deal with the 1st genocide dorothy this entity re, to was committed to unit 19 o 429 to no wait by germany even now may be a war debasing on the bill. but it is more clear law exactly that he read only to is do days in today stems while

they have accepted the armenian genocide essay genocide, which also happened before 1948. so our position is that genocide is genocide and germany needs to deal with its own genocide before talking about other general sites that may exist, ah, violence as erupt in the east of the democratic republic of the congo between government forces and rebels. that's despite a truce that was called last week. the congolese government has accused the rebels of violating the ceasefire and of continuing to loot and fight. according to local officials, clashes erupted after rebel forces cross 2 major bridges in the region and open fire at the congolese military breaking the truth reached at a summit a week earlier. the meeting. busy called for a cease fire and withdrawal of rebel forces from occupied territories,

and although no withdrawal was observed, the fighting had ceased since saturday. the top general accused am 23 rebels of killing 50 civilians and kidnapping even more from villages near the conflict zone . meanwhile, the city of goma, the capital of the besieged province, saw mass protests against the presence of the un mission. in the d. r. c. i mean, strainers claim that after 20 years, the mission has achieved nothing and even worse and the situation there. protesters also called on the international community to take action, to lift and arms ban on the d. r. c, which was prolonged this summer by the united nations until 2023. is what people on the streets had to say. to do, we had deploring the complicity of international community of new school and east african commune. fee. if forces came to our country to fight alongside the comb, goes armed forces, but feels the ultimatum given should be empty. with you through rebels expired on

sunday. we have seen the forces of the east african camine. phoebe come in active. oh my god my we're asking the, the embargo and our republic, the dear seat to be listed. and also to remind the international community that we cannot continue to have people kill like that and remain calm. otherwise it shows sterile complicity with what we're seeing. staying on the african continent. nigeria, as president, has claimed that weapons used in the ukraine conflict have ended up in the hands of african militants. regrettably, the situation in the saw hill and the raging war in ukraine service, major sources of weapons and fight is the boast of the ranks of the terrorists in lake chad. region weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region watts from luxurious presidents. that weapons from the conflict of ukraine had found their way into the hands of extremist and elect charge region has come us no surprise to the people and the military that

have been battling terrorist groups like book o r m. for the past 28th, i live close to the lake chat basin and with what i've heard, it's not safe living there because some who traveled there had to escape because of insecurity vocal. her arm attacked them and there is no food to sustain anyone with it. the president says he knows that the place is not safe. so he knows what to do . now that the president knows that small arms have entered the region, he should do something about it because we don't want more killings. we just want all this to stop. so we can go back and continue with normal lives of fishing and farming. but here in may do agree thousands of people displaced by conflict and now being integrated back into communities are concerned about the availability of weapons in areas where there will be re settled close to the next chart. beasen. oh, if you look at law, the 2nd round program or,

or devote our recovery process, we started before. do i am ukraine? so what is happening? ukraine is different than what is of a name for noise. a peculiar thing. and i think we're focusing on what's on the ground as was well once on now we're dealing with no problem. but the government here in northeastern nigeria said it's not warry us. many odell regions may be simply because the bottle to this book or her i'm terrorist and extremist, has been very intensive over the last few years. security for the child base in hop reason to be concerned of way ponds from conflicts in all the parts of the world becoming available yet on the list. 3 ducks, the regions of nigeria, the jet child came on currently a very sensitive stage of the fight. i guess so the only thing and tomorrow we punch will just make the bustle. honda washington long been key of the main weapon

supplier, but following the republicans recent taking over the lower house of congress, both major us political parties now reportedly agree on the need to strengthen the monitoring of arms being sent to ukraine. some lawmakers say the current system isn't adequate considering ukraine's high corruption rate, but there's no consensus on how it should be reformed. an rti investigation has confirmed that weapon sent to ukraine from the us, britain and other nato states. ended up for sale on the dark web. these are screenshots of some of them. the issue has long been recognized on an international level back in june, the head of interpol warned to that arms being sent to kiev would emerge on the black market. he also called on nations that have been providing weapons to ukraine to more adequately monitor where those supplies and my jury and geo political strategist, adama garber. the 2nd says weapons trafficking,

particularly on the african continent, is a massive issue. my mother would you please give him a call wanting to know how buildable of, of important incident 134. what court knows what you know, i didn't joining now. we have you said we will see you moving into on so he's not going grandma recovered blood much. well, we both are went to be shipped into our when people, when does the blood is actually of it a cedar a few on you would need to know that we need to really come to get up to see what we can do to prevent that kind of which is we'll know what it again, if our listed in the blue one of our 13 is looking about the intelligence or having requests flowing, introductory jim from florida exacerbate b usages. it really helps to convert a serious because all of them can no just talk anyhow, we help good to woo strong forties hoping to do that on the, on those 2. what is up on the politics of nick char is actually one of the majority, is why we hope this is for joseph that a home you know,

us aerospace and defense technology company, northrop grumman, is set to unveil its latest stealth bomber named the be $21.00 writer, the developer says it will be able to strike anywhere in the world. the be $21.00 rater will be capable of penetrating the toughest defenses to deliver precision strikes anywhere in the world. the b $21.00 is the future of deterrence. the jets designed for intelligence gathering missions and to act as a battle command center. additionally, the aircraft could be used as an interceptor by being equipped with long range missiles or drones originally intended to fly in 2021. the launch was delayed to 2022 and then to the next year. however, northrop grumman insists the delays to the made and flight will not affect the aircraft's production. but to get more on this now we're going across live to scott ritter, who's a former marine corps intelligence officer,

author and analyst. thanks for joining us on the program. scott. so i just want to ask you about the ramifications of such a weapon as the stealth bomber. you know, do you, what do you thing about the timing of it as well? well, i mean, the timing is related to production. i mean, when, when the browse is you, us, military production is that we try to jam everything into a, into a single airframe. and just listening to description this weapon. it's not a bomber, it's a fighter. it's a battle command center. it's drone facilitator. it's everything. um, and this is just means it's going to be an extraordinarily complicated piece of equipment in this complexity brings with production difficulties. so we saw this with the f 35 fighter, and i'm pretty sure that to be 21 bombers going to be going down the same route, a lot of money. and it's not going to perform anywhere near to the level that they expect. what do you think about us, secretary of state antony,

blinking recent statement to cnn, where he said that nato is actually looking to invest in soviet era weapons systems and to reopen old ammunition factories in europe. do you think this could be a sign perhaps that nato struggling to keep up with key of weapons demands? it's not a sign, it's now right. shouting out the other. the bottom line is that when you train started this conflict, they were using. so we're artillery systems, 12252 millimeter artillery pieces. they've exhausted their admission stocks from this. no, he's been providing nato a standard 155 millimeter artillery systems. but they don't have sufficient 155 millimeter artillery rounds to supplies. so you're creating a situation where the data provided artillery is run out of ammunition. they don't provide that ammunition. the old. so your stuff is alley, i mean,

nation nato is going to have to open up production lines in the former warsaw pact, nations. but this is going to take time it all under under scores. in fact, you, ukraine is a logistical nightmare that nato's unable to support at this point in time. what do you think european nato members are going to be as adamant as washington to give even more weapons to ukraine when there's kind of countries like france and germany that are running low on their own supplies? well, i think we, we see the answer that is that they don't have anything left again. therefore they're going to try and open up new production lines to create soviet era ammunition to supply the remaining soviet era or tory pieces that are in ukraine. other than that, there isn't much left for you to give. the european military industry was not geared up for this kind of conflict. and it's clear that they don't have sufficient

reserves. they've stripped whatever reserves they had to supply you train and now they're left to the point where they can't even carry out their own self defense requirements issue. it's called on to go to war. so, you know, they know is, is struggling this, this conflict is exposed. i think a huge weakness, the concept of what constitutes self defense. they insufficient resources for the task at hand. well, definitely seems that way, especially because we have reports actually that us officials are trying to even convince middle eastern nato members to give their missiles to ukraine as well. to think they're going to accept just giving away weapons for a war. they're not even involved in i mean the u. s. to put a lot of leverage on people. and so there, there may be some sort of compromise measure where a token of weapons are. but i think at this point time, any reasonable military analyst, which is the situation on the ground and ukraine understands the time is not on the

ukrainian military side. and that the long term planning for providing weaponry is futile because the, the situation on the grounds can change dramatically and not in the favor of you. in the near future, i had former marine corps intelligence officer, author, and analyst scott ritter. thanks for joining us on the program. thanks, remy. ah. though it may be approaching the festive season, but there looks to be little joy ahead for dutch farmers. the netherlands government is planning to shudder. 3000 forms to fall in line with an e. u. environmental mandate to cut down on c o. 2 emissions farmers brought their machinery to the streets to protest the dictate. government officials have put a set of choices on the table. either drastically reduce emissions, relocate or cease operations. they say farms will be forced to be sold and leave

the land fallow if the reduced emission goals are not meant by the head of the netherlands. agricultural and horticultural association has serious doubts about that. when of course, it is positive that a good voluntary stop scheme is being promised. but the stairs who are central to us, will have many additional restrictions imposed. the latest announcement follows months of furious farmer protests that have game strong support to mid 10th negotiations. government officials now state that the shut down is imminent because time as run out it's not only voluntary any more. the whole economy has come to a stop because it is nitrogen question. now it's going to happen because we have our backs against the wall. we spoke with a farmer and the head of the dutch dairy farmers union. he says, the measure by the government will lead to an intended results. first point of all, let's make clear. it's not because of you regulations. the only thing the you

found nature bars, but they don't say we have to do with our leave is nike and missions good down. so there's plenty of other actually the you said there are 1500 different ways to nature and that's government only taking out the nitrogen pollution s as a way to improve major. but the yet is through the late, the lead us from our government, talking about the buyout, the 20023000 bombs and adobe devastating total in agriculture will be enormous. and promised in all of our very much again called the world only in the netherlands. the government doesn't see that, and they want to buy out their role jammed in farms and get dependent

on foods from somewhere around the globe, which is produced on lower standards. as we do now for veterans of the conflict in ukraine have been given the hero of the russian federation award and they joined our chief or exclusive interviews about their combat experience or cheese marina, closer of us, spoke with air force officer, las dissolve. and here's his story. ah, well, at austin's election, we've got a task to take action as a lending operation was being planned by the enemy or snake talent. i was tasked with getting in at an extremely low altitude to handle the animals air defense system. i throttled up to a supersonic speed about 1200 kilometers per hour, is 1st. i spotted it on the radar, then came closer, took several shots at it, and managed to strike the targets over so low. i was little that were you aware who

wasn't boarded, helicopter, bottom lay of those. now i found that out later in the media cat, properly actually ats. how did you have asian korea began and what led you to take part in the military operation in ukraine? seemingly less donors wanted. we have a family dynasty. my father is a military pilot. my brother also flies, a fighter jet. and i spent all my childhood in military garrisons is only so in fact, there was no other option for me, but to go to a military aviation school. during the 1st days of the offensive, none of us expected we would have to deploy guided aircraft weapons against the enemy's aviation, where we, when that happened for the 1st time, it made quite an impression on me to see it. as far as i understand, you do have a solid experience. you have also been to syria, city berlin, then yes, i was in syria, but the situation there is different, as we didn't come face to face with the enemy in the air, hotels, buffalo law for since the started the military operation,

have there been any changes to just the aircraft to the current situation and was just naturally, we are constantly mastering our commer techniques. any instance of weapon deployment is thoroughly analyzed. our personnel carefully examines the data from every onboard, means of objective control. so as to work out a more efficient tactic later on, over the next few days, we will bring you more exclusive interviews of russian soldiers on our to international let's the end of our news our but stay tuned for more in just about 30 minutes here on our t international ah . because of nato's insistence to expand eastward, we have the conflict in ukraine and ukraine is quickly becoming a failed state and to humanitarian crisis. nonetheless, nato, his undeterred this alliance continues to be the biggest threat to pan european

security is also indifferent to the damage it does to the international system. you know, there was no program when i left i kind of and all of us at a life after hate, kind of stumbled our way through it. and then we can take the lessons that we've learned from that and shrink the time frame down. so there's less was less wandering in the wilderness, so to speak. when i was in the move in the last 2 years, and before i left, i was struggling with do i want to leave? i like, pardon me, want to leave another part in it has been battle with us. if i leave, i have nothing to fall back on. i have to pause it. do i have nobody to go to? you know, me know, because as i lived around last 7 years, i have nothing. sometimes it's hard. if they've got a swastika tattooed on their neck, it's hard for them. but just to say, i don't do that anymore. it's kind of a long process. it's not like you just leave it one day and you're like, oh god, that's over. i had been.
