of a better way to end the program than onions, words very, very wise words. this all the time. we have many thanks to my guess and like jackson luna and in washington state. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at ortiz, see you next time. remember, cross talk with with, with warning, disturbing images ahead. 3 people are killed after keeps forces shell residential areas of done yet. local official se nato supplied shelves were used in the attack . berlin claims of famine that occurred nearly a century ago when the soviet ukraine was genocide. that says residents of no maybe say germany has failed to adequately a tone for

a massacre. it's committed there around the same time making a stand the congolese people protest against the presence of a un mission in the country saying it's only worse. and the security situation there that has a cease fire between the military and rebel forces breaks down. nigeria, as president, raises the alarm that weapons sent to ukraine are ending up in the hands of african militants. rti speaks to concern citizens in nigeria. now that the president knows the small arms of and to the region, he should do something about it because we don't want more killings. we just want to live to stop. 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. oklahoma attacked them with

just after 6 pm here in moscow. and you're watching. our teens are national. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. and we start this news hour 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 yes, people's republic. that's according to local authorities awarding. you may find the following video, disturbing, official say key halves forces 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 ortiz roman culture of reports from that area. again, a warning some upcoming images may be disturb 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 on 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 during the 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 when the 2nd felt the glass blew 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 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, use them multiple launch a rocket systems to targets this neighborhoods. and judging from all of the shrapnel holes 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 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 major alexander, you're cochin who helped evacuate locals away from ukrainian shelling. we will bring you the story he shares of being a soldier on the front line. ah,

german chancellor, olaf sholtes has held a phone call with vladimir putin on security issues with ukraine on the top of the agenda. that's as rush as leader criticize the west's destructive practice of arming ukraine as keeping peace out of reach r t. segers bound 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, but 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 curve 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 was up abusive and when at some point in time, all western neighbors and former potters 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 want piece, but it doesn't want piece on the conditions or that the west is right now.

basically laying out rushes foreign ministry has accused germany of distorting historical facts to serve its political agenda. that's after the boon to start passed a resolution to officially declare a famine that occurred around a century ago in soviet ukraine. a genocide, the german political elite attempts to belittle its guilt using artificially contracted acts of genocide by ukrainian nationalists radicals and blaming the usa 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 that the deaths of millions of people 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 just in ukraine, but in other parts of the soviet union as well, including russia. moscow even provided foods to ukraine at the expense of other

regions to end the hunger. but let's take a closer look at the toll that ukrainians page during the 2nd world war. 1.3000000 ukrainians died in 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 armies. entire personnel were ukrainian, which is 7000000 people. earlier we spoke with conrad ren costs, cheese and polish journalists, who discussed how the events of the last century are interpreted. we can discuss about the so called the whole, the more defending catastrophe and the grain and the other soviet regions in the, on the little by this on the political bonds. speaking about the legal bonds. if he's absolutely clear, that's where it's not faced and not meet the definition, legal definition of data, right?

because there was absolutely no intend to destroy cranial people in nation there. but on the political site, whoa, of course we can, we can, we can think about the d. motion element of that promotion of the, of government vision of history. and he's extremely dangerous because well, we have to remember that the president never faced the nazi and boundaries past of the, of the gradient color brothers. we've, we've, hitler never faced and never discussed truly and honestly about taking part in the holocaust by creating the collaborative. so well, as i suppose, i have to remind that the absolutely to say with the decline of the key of sites to accept responsibility of grading. and that is for dental fights against the polio and julius, and also grading and people of 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, adequate reparations for colonial era. massacre. let's take a closer look at what happened in namibia at that time. mm. mm mm. mm. ah, ah, the news

berlin agreed to pay in the maybe at claims these payments are not reparations and will be made over the span of 30 years on a quote voluntary basis. although this has outraged many in the may be and, and the leader of the namibian traditional leaders association believes germany is trying to distance itself from responsibility for its past actions. the tombs, germany is very specifically avoiding to deal with the 1st genocide dorothy of this entity. richie was permitted unit 19 o 429 to no wait by germany in namibia or do days on the bill. but it is not clear why exactly. they refer only to eat

is 2 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 genocides that may exist. ah, violence has erupt in the east of the democratic republic of the congo between governing forces and rebels. that's despite a truce that was 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 crossed, 2 major bridges in the region and open fire at the congolese military breaking that truce reached at a summit a week earlier. the meeting called for

a cease fire and the withdraw. busy of rebel forces from occupied territories, and although no withdrawal was observed, the fighting did cease since saturday. a top general accused am 23 rebels of killing 50 civilians and kidnapping even more villages near the conflict zone. meanwhile, the city of goma, which is 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 un until 2023 years. a look into what people on the streets had to say. oh sure it was. who do we have deploying the complicity of the international community or new school and east african community if forces came to our country to fight alongside to campbells 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 africa coming to become in active home. i got him on we're asking that embargo in our republic, the dear sea to be lifted. 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. staying in africa, 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 to bolster 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 as no

surprise to the people and the military that have been battling terrorist groups like book o'hara 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. local her arm attacked them and there is no food to sustain any one. 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 a re settled close to the next chart. beeson. oh, if you look at law,

the 2nd round program or, or devote out recovery process, we started before. do i am you, glenn? so what is happening? you, glenn, is different than what is of an inborn 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 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 gone, son of way. ponds from conflict in all the parts of the walls become available yet on the lease agree? the regions of nigeria, the child came in on our quote, actually a very sensitive speech of the fight,

i guess. so the only thing and tomorrow we punch will just make the puzzle. honda, i'm called to be chose out of fin, use maybe green washington's been key as main weapon supplier. but following the republicans, recent takeover of the lower house and 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 is not adequate. consider ukraine's high corruption rate. but there is also no consensus on how it should be reformed, nor ti investigation has confirmed that weapons sent to you. crane from the u. s. britain and other nato member states ended up for sale on the dark web. these are several screenshots of some of them. the issue has long been recognized on an international level, because back in june, the head of interpol warned that arms being sent to key of what 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 agirri and geo

political strategist, adama garber. the 2nd says weapons trafficking, particularly in africa, is a major issue. now we have the war, did you believe you live in cross country? feel a bit of a bullet of employment into not 134. what worked most, what you know i didn't joining now. we have, you said we will see you moving into on so he's like a good mob. the company blood, much and well with those are went to be shipped into our when people, when does they believe is actually a bit of c dorothy on. you will need to know that we need to really come to get up to see what we can do to prevent a kind of beautiful recording. again, if our listed in the blue, one of our 13 is talking about intelligence. i mean, we points flowing introductory g, florida, exacerbate d, usages it briefly. i'll take a bit of studios because all of them can not just talk anyhow, we have clicked to boom, strong forces of intelligence. and actually i don't want those to do something on

the politics of mc. char is actually one of the majorities is why we have a dispute for joseph that are coming on the u. s. aerospace and defense technology company northrop grumman, is set to unveil its latest stealth bomber named the b 21 writer. with the weapons contractor says it's going to be able to strike anywhere in the world. the b $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 new plane is said to build on decades of experience that washington has had with the b 2 bomber as seen here on the screen designed for intelligence gathering and to act as a battle command center. the aircraft is reported to also have the capability to be equipped with long range missiles and also be able to deploy drones, mid air, beset with delays. the launch originally was scheduled for 2021,

but has now been pushed to next year. however, northrop grumman insists the diesel delays of this. my maiden flight will not affect the aircraft's production timeline. earlier we spoke with scott ritter, a former marine corps intelligence officer about this, and he says the new bomber won't end up meeting the u. s. military's expectations. there is no doubt that the unveiling of a weapon system of the order and magnitude of the b 21 bomber is done for political purposes. and when i say that, i mean deterrence to put a marker on the table saying this is the united states. this is our capability, this is the weapon we have. um, you don't want to mess with us because you don't have anything that's capable handling this weapon. this is just means it's going to be an extraordinarily complicated piece of equipment. so in this complexity brings with production

difficulties, 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 to day expect. meanwhile, the u. s. secretary of state told cnn that nato is looking to invest in soviet era weapons systems to help arm ukraine. we're looking at every option to make sure that again the ukrainians get what they need and what can be most effective for them. some of that does go to soviet era systems that they've had in their inventory for decades. making sure that the ammunition is there for those systems. and in some cases that may require producing things that haven't been produced for some time. the new york times also reports that nato was discussing, investing in old weapons factories in the czech republic, slovakia and bulgaria. aiming to restart the manufacturing of soviet era shells as a cranes armory still largely consists of old soviet weapons. meanwhile,

new reports show that france is not able to provide more weapons to key if due to the state of its own supplies. scott ritter again believes that ukraine is a logistics nightmare for nato. they don't have anything left to give, therefore they're going to try and open up new production lines or to create soviet era ammunition to supply the remaining. so vieira or chart pieces that are in ukraine, other bad there isn't much left for you to give the european military industrial 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 ukraine and bow their lift to the point where they can't even carry out their own self defense requirements issue if called or to go to war. so it all under underscores. the fact that the ukraine is a logistics nightmare that nato's unable to support at this point in time.

in other news, russia must be destroyed and stop its existence. that's directly from ukraine, secretary of the national security and defense council. his call also noted that there can be no peace talks with the russian side. is comes after statements for moscow that it doesn't object to sitting down at the negotiating table. exclusive as nysha, diesel, when they put it on the list a lot that they just need to be destroyed so that they start 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 that made the remarks during key of security forum where a number of nato and e e representatives participated as well. fessor, at the institute of european studies, stephen gaiety said that the west has never considered russia as equal. and that the ideas expressed by the ukrainian official have roots in radical ideology. let

me just remind you that this was the idea of the ideologies of national socialist party of germany, of nazis. the system of international relations, as seen from the political wise is racist to the core. even when we look at, you know, these calls for creating the award 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 of the of the, of the front in the yugoslav 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 locals and not for for foreigners. so nato's war crimes that happened in, during the wars of, you know, you love,

learned 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, the point is that russia was never seen as equal. and the idea that it can have a, if you have a c and power to defend its interest is dangerous by itself for the creators of policies in the west. and i think that's where all this comes from. for veterans of the conflict in ukraine joined r t for exclusive interviews about their combat experience. this time ortiz marina call server spoke with major alexandria cushion, and here's his story. ah, what jeannie thought she was stuck. so one day when we were gathering refugees in

a location ukrainian troops attacked us with artillery. shelling in my group quickly decided to evacuate the refugees to a shelter, so they did it successfully. civilian casualties were avoided. i know we had a place prepared in advance for such a case. that is, if there were an attack, we would immediately evacuate everyone to this place. initially on that day, we had to designate a gathering point for the refugees. a large number of people gathered, most likely, nationalists discovered the gathering point and decided to shell it. there were no military facilities nearby. there was only civilian infrastructure. i have seen real gratitude from people who thanked all the service members who helped them in the evacuation. i saw it and i felt it i key at last saying what is the attitude of resi jeez, to the ukranian troops? he talked to them for sure. what do they say about ukrainian for says, for worship chester? now for the most part, the attitude is negative because ukrainian troops have been firing at their fellow countrymen. and as up and up in her chest because of me in the west. for example,

there are videos showing how happy local people are that the ukrainian forces have returned grain. so that alone is val, with any shar sliver. no gossley jewelry. when you eyes for everyone understands that a picture may be staged and what you see yourself and what you feel at this moment, and what those people feel are completely different emotions. for the most part, people wanted to flee directly to russia. people were afraid of the shelling, they were afraid that the ukrainian service members and ukrainian informal associations were returned to their territory for horoscope. urge hickok, let them look as i please tell us how he got there when it was. and could you please explain you work in detail at that? i bought an italian. whatever's concretely, when you get closer, i cannot say exactly where i was. our task was to organize a peaceful life for civilian stir, to provide humanitarian assistance. since the territory has been liberated, there are no shops there. no, a t m 's working, no light,

no gas. there was no electricity either or i met those who lost relatives and those who even lost their children. sometimes you watch films were such cases, occur. news or documentary programs, you see it on t v. but until you see it with your own eyes and actually feel it, it's quite difficult to understand learning through a little children's coffins, because shelling hit residential buildings were families were him. i've had you this luigi cochlan my man from wanted to weighed in it. what moment can you admit that she was cared for a life? it is clear that you're always worked to protect civilians. and in that, in those italy who caused the was the roach worker, every healthy person has a feeling of fear. it was scary for people on that day when we brought the convoy towards russian territory and the shelling occurred. the vehicle in which we were evacuating people was hit quite badly by shrapnel, but fortunately it turned out that thanks to the skilful actions of my team, none of the civilians was injured. but, but at that moment there was the feeling that something terrible was about to

happen. but the main thing is to condition yourself when you faced the 1st situation like that, i conditioned myself to be sure that it is necessary to help other people 1st to think about them and then about myself, unequal tomorrow's to be or continue to bring you more exclusive interviews with russian soldiers and just about another hour we'll hear from lieutenant maria, near, rush, niche, and come, who saved soldiers from ukrainian. shelley. stay tuned. ah. because of nature'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 is undeterred. this alliance continues to be the biggest threat to pan european security is also indifferent to the damage and.
