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. what the other i was working on. i see machine when the 1st shell hit, the windows rattled, and one to 2nd felt the glass blue inside. i ducked and 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 wounded, and they say in a nearby store, another woman died. 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 a right next to him, his his dog that he was coldly walking when craniums shells this area in the next, judging from the remains off of this shell ukraine, use them multiple launch

a rocket systems to so are gets vis neighborhoods and judging from all of the shrapnel holes in this building, this particular show 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 it's 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 r t one of them is a russian paramedic. that saved soldiers on the battlefield will bring you the story. she shares of being a medic in back in the back of the front lines. german chancellor, all of sholtes, has held a phone call with vladimir putin on security issues with ukraine on the top of the agenda that says russians and the as the russian leader criticize the west's

destructive practice of arming ukraine as keeping peace out of reach ortiz eager donna has the details 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 conflict, 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,

and it of course stimulates the, are all the nationalist 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 vladimir putin. those are cur, viewed as completely unacceptable by russia, for instance, all of short, he did cool honor of finding the diplomatic solution. we have to go back to the agreements, which we had in the last decade 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 also sholtes talked

about, of course, how he wants to revert things back to how they were a, basically before the russian military operation 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 to still believe there will be no business as usual business. so russia most definitely does one piece, but it doesn't want piece on the conditions or that the west is right now, basically laying out in other news, rushes, foreign ministry has accused germany of distorting historical fats to serve its political agenda. that's after the buddhist dog passed a resolution to officially declare a famine that occurred around

a century ago in soviet ukraine. a genocide to german political elite attempts to belittle its guilt using not officially 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 germany's parliament members supported the move to claim the deaths of millions who resulted from a deliberate starvation campaign carried out by the soviet leadership under joseph stalin. 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 toll that ukrainians paid during the 2nd world war. 1.3000000 ukrainians died in nazi concentration camps and about the same number of troops

were. busy killed fighting against the germans. 15 marshals and generals along the front were from ukraine, and 16 percent of the entire red army personnel were ukrainian, which is 7000000 people. we spoke with conrad ren costs, he's a polish journalist to discuss how the events of the last century are interpreted. we can discuss about the so called the whole, the more of having a catastrophe in the grain and our soviet regions in the 30s on the lead by this on the political butts. speaking about the legal bonds. if you have a look even clear, that's where it's not faced and not meet the definition lego, the thing you sort of did a side because there was absolutely no intent to destroy cranial people in nascent . but on the political side. well, of course we can, we can, we can think about the d. motion element of that promotion of

the us government vision of history. this extremely dangerous because well, we have to remember that the president never face the, not the boundaries passed out of the, of the gradient color brothers. we've, we've never faced and never discussed truly and honestly about that taking in the holocaust by creating the collaborative. so whoa, and i suppose i have to remind that the absolutely to say what the client of the key of side to accept the responsibility of creating and that is for dental fight against the police and julius and the postal 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 a colonial era massacre. let's take

a closer look at what happened in the maybe at that time. mm. mm. mm. ah ah the ah, ah ah, although berlin agreed to pay and it may be a claims, these payments are not reparations and will be paid over a span of 30 years on

a quote voluntary basis. although this has outraged many mediums, the leader of the namibian traditional leader leaders association believes germany is trying to distance itself from responsibility for its past actions. it seems german is very specifically avoiding to deal with the 1st genocide or the of this entity which was a committed unit. 19 o 429 to no wait by germany in namibia ward today snowmobile. but it is not clear why exactly. they refer only to he is do days in today stems while they have accepted the a manian 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 genocides that may exist. violence has erupted in the east of the democratic republic of the congo between government forces and rebels. and despite a truce that was cow are called last week, the congolese government has accused the rebels of violating the cease fire and of continuing to loot and fight. according to local officials, clashes erupted after rebel forces croft to major bridges in the region and open fire at the congolese military breaking the truth reached at a summit a week earlier. the meeting 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. top general accused am 23 rebels of killing 50 civilians and kidnapping even more from villages near the conference zone.

meanwhile, the city of gama, the capital of the besieged province, saw mass protests against the presence of the un mission. in the d. r. c. demonstrators 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 about that. to do, we had deploring the complicity of deeds, national community of moscow and east african community if forces came to our country to fight alongside to campbell's armed forces. but since the ultimatum given should be empty, with the blue rebels expired on sunday, we have seen the forces of the east african commune. she became inactive. i got him up. we're asking that 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 shall sterile complicity with what we're seeing. my dear is president, a 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 heal and the raging war in ukraine service, major sources of weapons and fight, is to bolster the ranks of the terrorists in late chad region. weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia, equally beginning to filter to the region was 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 as no surprise to the people and the military that have been battling terrorist groups, like ballpark for the past 20 years. 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. local her arm attacked them and there is no food to sustain anyone. 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, through 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 resettled. close to the nic chart, beasen. oh, if you look at law, the 2nd round program or, or devote out recovery process, we started before. do i, am you grin? so what is happening to your current is different than what this avenue will noise, their peculiar thing. and i think we're focusing on what's on the ground as was

well once on. now we're dealing with madam problem, but the government here in northeastern nigeria said it's not worried us. many odell regions may be simply because the bottle to this book or her i'm terrorist, an extremist has been very intensive over the last few years. security for the job base in hop reasons to be on some of the way ponds from conflict in all the parts of the world becoming available yet on the list. 3, the regions of nigeria, the jetta child, came out on our quote, actually a very sensitive speech of the, i guess the only thing, and to mol with bunch will just make the bustle harder. i'm going to be chose out of fios maybe green washington's been cubes, main weapon supplier. but following the republicans, recent takeover of 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 you . praying. some lawmakers say the current system isn't to act adequate considering ukraine's high corruption rate. but there's no consensus on how it should be reformed. and our investigation has confirms that weapons sent ukraine from the u. s. britain, and other nato countries 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, and back in june, the head of interpol warned 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 up by jerry and geo political strategist, adama guard. but the 2nd says weapons trafficking, particularly on the african continent, is a massive issue. now we have the award, did you bless you live in coral quantity video,

how buildable of i've been wanting to not 13414 knows what you know, i didn't joining now. we have you said we was a you know, mean into on. so he's not grandma to come to blood much. well with us i went to be shipped into our one please. when, when does the be like, is actually a bit of cedar of him on you would need to know that we need to really come together to see what we can do to prevent that kind of pretty full recorded. again, if our listed in the blue kind of office 3 is looking about intelligence or, i mean, we points flowing into dr. digital florida, exacerbate b u. so just it briefly, i'll take a bit of students because all of them can no just talk anyhow, we have good to one strong forties of intelligence. and actually, i don't want to see what is up on the politics of lake charles is actually one of the majority is why we help this you for joseph that a home, you know, germany is defense ministers facing flack over concerns. she's failed to procure enough ammunition for the country. earlier in the week, she sent

a letter to the country's finance minister, asking for urgent funds to plug the gap. however, he made it clear at her request could not be accommodated. the sluggish availability of a munition and equipment is not caused by a lack of budge to refunds, but by complicated, partly non transparent and inconsistent planning and pu, aquatic ordering processes. while they get more on the story now we're going across live to archie, contributor rachel marston. so rachel, the german defense minister is on the defensive. what's going on here? well, it looks like germany has been trying to keep up with the jones's and has now placed its own defense capabilities in a real bite. western allies are obsessed with this idea of being present everywhere all around the globe. even just this week, when french president, in on you and michael visited joe biden at the white house, there was a lot talk about how the u. s. expect france and europe to help out in the end of

pacific, with a military presence to contain china on the other side of the world. now, france already has overseas territories in the region, but what's berlin's excuse for hanging out over there? this reminds me of that buddy in the everyone has in college who wants to go drinking top shelf liquor every weekend and once every to come with them. but you know what? if you do that all the time trying to keep up with them, you could end up with a really bad hangover. and in this case, well, it looks like that might be happening for berlin sooner rather than later on. the german military leadership has been talking since at least the summer, about quote, consolidating its presence in the end of pacific, sending a flea of ships over there. and having troops join at western military exercises in australia. berlin also started hanging out in bosnia and herzegovina over the summer to contribute to this fantasy of a european army that my call in particular, really wanted to use frances military mission in africa to showcase well,

that is until france got kicked out of molly. but, oh, berlin has announced that it's going to stick around. and molly, now until 2024. germany is also busy playing policeman in the rest of the world and basically, you know, forgot to look after itself. so, whoops. so now the defense minister is asking for cash to buy ammo for german troops to use in case germany, you know, needed to defend itself. and the finance minister just said no and accused the defense minister of poor planning. and yeah, well no kidding because there are reports that germany has about 2 days worth of am owed to defend itself, largely as a result of giving so much of it away to q. now, germany's greens have slammed the minister for the egregious lack of foresight even before the russian war of aggression against ukraine. it was known that the bundeswehr was a long way from meeting natal requirements in the area of ammunition. it was

unclear why ammunition was not at the top of the department of defense to do list by february 24th at the latest. however, the shortage of ammunition not only poses major challenges for the bundle, we're our partners in the e. u and nato also want to stock up on ammunition. the need for ammunition is great, but the capacities of the industry are tight during chess or all of shorts, through himself in the line of fire to diffuse the criticism of his minister. now that it's coming from all sides is criticism, but the lack of ammo for self defense is a systemic problem for other nato countries that have been giving their stock away as well to ukraine. estonia, for example, faces the same challenge in staying properly aren't that's according to its own defense in industry. the past 2 decades, the national defense of nato allies have been very much focused on the out of area

operations, where amunition requirements are not as large, which has some sleep into very low ammunition stalks is clearly unfortunate. we would also call it would responsible. but now it's not true to time to play the blame game. now it's time to find solutions. maybe these western countries, if you want to find a solution should be focusing on their own, actual defense. rather than running around the world playing footsie with china or in africa or whatever, trying to keep up with whatever expansionist ambitions that washington throws on the table. or at archie, contributor rachel marston. thanks for bringing us those details. ah, another news, russia must be destroyed and stop its existence that's directly from ukraine, secretary of national security and defense council. his call also noted that there can be no peace talks with the russian side. and this comes after statements from moscow that it doesn't object to sitting down at the negotiating table. it was that

there was leash when they put up when they was the luck that they just need to be destroyed so that they stop to exist as a country within the borders in which they exist. that just barbarians. and when they say that we should sit down at the same table with these barbarians and say something, i generally think this will be unworthy. ukrainian official made the remark stirring key of security forum where a number of nato and e u representatives participated as well. u. s. under to under secretary of state for political affairs victorian newland also delivered a message from washington and said, ukraine not does not stand only for itself, but also for the western world. the united states will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes because the american people understand you're not only fighting for your own survival, you're fighting for all of us. putin's attempts at violent conquest,

his war crimes is nuclear black male, his hunger games. and now his effort to freeze ukrainians as winter deepens, must be defeated. well, to get more on this story, we're in a cross live now to professor at the institute of european studies steven guy, it's thanks for joining us on the program, steven. so russia should be annihilated. what do you think about this statement? well, i think that this is nothing you, i mean, historically we've seen the all, you know, such magnitude happening before i let me just remind you that this was the idea of the ideologists, the national socialist party of germany, of nazis, alfred rosenberg, and also hydrogen schindler, they all have the same idea and this idea existed even during the russian civil war . and it also came from the west. so this is really nothing you and that is one

level one level is the struggle between great powers where russia was always seen as a competitor. napoleon tried to destroy that the germans and also from gary has tried to do that in 20th century once. and then hitler repeated that, ah, but what is really more interesting for me here is that who, who is saying that the last name of the person is a, is, is a russia last name, not even, not even in west ukrainian so, so that says volumes, this says stockholm syndrome, where you have people who are proving their newly found identity. by saying outrageous things about their own can is something that is not also unique for, for the russian space. we have the same things in, in, in the yugoslav space because the worst atrocities against the serbs during world

war 2 were done by the creation with people who had basically the same last names as their victims. so, so that is the real tragedy here was you mentioned these connections with nazi ideology. i mean, we've got people who are supported by the west calling for the utter destruction of russia. and before russia launched its military operation, one of the things moscow wanted was security guarantees from nato. so do you think this kind of rhetoric just kind of shows that there was a good reason for russia to launch its special military operation in the 1st place? i mean, i think all the, the blind don't want to see that the whole point is that the, the system of international relations, as seen from the political west, is races to the core. even when we look at these calls for creating a war tribunal. let's look at the word tribunal for the crimes in former yugoslavia

. right. well these are crimes only applied for the locals. it doesn't matter on which side. 7 of the, of the, of the front, if you will stop civil war. people were fighting. but if it says that the mandate of a court is for crimes against humanity on a certain territory, and it only applies for the local and not for for foreigners. so nato's war crimes that happened in, during the wars of, you know, you love, learn the list of civil wars, and they were not even considered. so the same racist logic is applied to russia. russia is seen as an object and as a problem. and even in theory, people such as robert cooper, cooper wrote books about that. you know, he's famous, breaking of nations, ordering chaos in 21st century. is a colonial manual for,

for today's of western diplomats. i mean, for the british and american implements. but the point is that russia was never seen as equal. and the idea that you can have a, if you have a c and power to defend its interest is dangerous by itself for the creators of. busy policies in the west, and i think that's where all this comes from. so this is just a bomb. i use the word exceptionalism, heels, and in that that, i mean this, this comes from the anglo saxon political thought is, comes all the way from, from francis bacon and others. so, but the point is that they do not want to see the rest of the world as equals or as partners, but only as a, let's say, freud young projection as a colonial object. so this idea.
