school, i don't know who's got no appointed a here because the school districts to clean you can also come with it to shore up waiting influence in the balkans. you hold this 1st ever regional summit in toronto, mid dwindling interest among the former yugoslav states for joining the european flock. these are the kind of things that are absolutely everywhere here. this is a made grenade. launcher, western supplied weapons are found as r t gets exclusive access to ukrainian positions recently taken over by russian group. the south african parliament rules to postpone a long awaited vote on president rama post isn't meant by this week. as this

scandal continues to divide, the nation kenya's largest ethnic group fights for its heritage with leaders colleague for britain to return artifact taken from the country decades ago. then ideally for our artifacts were stolen by the british are being stored in english museums. it's time we get them back so that we can build our own museums for the generations to come with a very good morning from moscow to wherever you may be. catching the program. welcome to this hours most pressing new stories from around the globe. i'm purely, isabel, as some balkan nations apparently begin to lose hope, enjoining the you and start to look for alternative future partners. the block is taking closer notice of its allies in the region with the 1st ever summit between the e, you and western balkan states to kick off later this tuesday,

archie contributor rachel mars then looks into the political layout ahead of the event. so the european union is waiting back into one of the west historical mine fields this week. nato's war in yugoslavia comes immediately to mind and are holding a summit. the kicks off today between the blocks leadership and the balkan states. now the main purpose of the event is to keep these countries waiting around for the e, you to call them up and make a commitment of membership dangling the carrot. but like someone who sits at home waiting for the phone to ring and hoping that you know, it's their crush asking the mote on a date. finally, while these countries are getting a little tired of just sitting around, it is true that polls in the last 18 months, both in our country and in our region, show decline in support for the you. we objectively do not see that the european integration process is moving forward. to make matters worse, the balkans had to contend with the spectacle this year of the you gushing over ukraine and falling all over itself,

talking about how badly it really wants keith. can you imagine even waiting years for brussels to make a commitment put a ring on it, or even to show signs it's serious about the relationship? and suddenly it only has eyes for keith and can't talk about anything else. so it's not exactly surprising that the citizens of these countries feel that maybe the block simply isn't marriage material. 55 percent of north macedonia and have a negative view of the e. you just 21 percent of serbs see the positively with majority of them against joining the block for the 1st time and confidence in european institutions has dipped in the view of citizens and albania, and bosnia and herzegovina as well. so why is that you running over there now, for a big summit? it basically comes down to the fact that they're worried about another guy stealing their gal, specifically china or russia. the ease, lack of engagement and credibility over the past few years has created a vacuum,

thereby opening up space for russia, china, and other malign 3rd actors also with the russians. in also the western woke of what we need more euro in the recent bogus. this is the new we thought yes, leveraging to be more present through. there was a survey as a big ally of russia and it's president alexander who kitch said recently that the countries ties with albania and north macedonia in particular, have never been better. even though albania, in particular, has been viewed over the past couple of decades by the west, as one of its staunchest allies, including militarily, by committing troops to american efforts in afghanistan and iraq. and serbia is not on board with the you and it's anti russian sanctions. and agenda, serbia could change its position on imposing sanctions on russia. only if the sword of damocles literally hangs over us. right now. that is not the case. so the e,

you could be concerned that other balkan countries that followed the western sanctions could start comparing their economic and energy challenges this winter to serbia situation as serbia imports about 85 percent of its gas, russia. and maybe these other states will start wondering if they be better off splitting up from their fair weather suitors, and airfield and rushes kursk region has been attacked by a drone. that's according to local governor. an oil storage tank is said to have caught fire in this unverified footage. you can see clouds of smoke rising over the city. emergency services are still working on putting the fire out. no casualties have yet been reported. this follows similar attacks on monday, which left several russians service men dead, and others wounded. after remotely piloted vehicles were shot down by air defense

systems. the incidents happen hundreds of kilometers from the ukranian border. moscow says kiev is using soviet era long rates. you avi's to carry out the strikes . we'll go there by do them 3 russian military technicians who were out the air fields were fatally wounded. for other service men who were wounded were taken to medical facilities, where they received all the necessary treatment. despite the temps of the key regime to disrupt the combat activity, the russian long range aviation by means of a terrorist act. a massive blow has been dealt to the ukrainian military command and control system and related facilities of the defense complex, as well as communication and energy centers are now to the latest from the don bass where at least 4 civilians are confirmed dead and 3 more injured in the latest ukrainian strikes on the city of john. yes, that's according to local officials. here you can see one of the residential buildings that was hit. official said that ukrainian troops used nato supplied

weapons to attack densely populated areas of john. yes. shops in a hospital are also said to have been targeted, local residents shared their feelings of despair. so, so how can i describe my inner state when everything built with are no efforts has been destroyed? well, fed up with this, why should civilian suffer children? the elderly r t gets as close to have access to former ukrainian army positions recently taken by russian forces. roman closer have brings this report. a warning that you may find some of the images disturbing. we're here in front, sir. line, right next the city hall for my your so that was a liberated by the next army. just a couple of weeks ago. ukraine positions are not that far away. we're williams her . right. we're now at the former positions of the ukrainian troops. they had a strong line of defense here. the area around the railroad was heavily fortified.

so i was immune. oscar, now we've taken this position. it will be more difficult for ukraine to supply its troops in our new mask. they can't move ammunition, food or troops using this road as it's now under our control nearly as we're walking along these trenches. the soldier told me to be very careful and looked down all the time because as ukraine retreated from this positions, they mind the entire territory. in addition to that, there are many prohibits anti personnel mines as well, so called petal minds. once a person steps on one of those, he may lose a limb and take a look there also, unexploded weapons like this on the ground as well. so we have to walk very, very carefully. this looks like a jacket that used to belong to the ukranian soldier. bodies of ukrainian soldiers are absolutely everywhere here on the front line. they're not being claimed by

ukraine, and we'll probably her probably considered as a a missing in action. but there are literally dozens of bodies all around these trenches. when you were for the lea abandoned their dead and laughed. this happens often you to ongoing fighting in as this area is still quite dangerous to give them a proper burial. but i've been assured by the duct republic or soldiers that sir, all of these are men for the crane and military will be buried. ha, well, according to orthodox christian law and all the necessary dna san also will be taken. so that says their relatives, if they want to find them and to reclaimed them, will have that opportunity. now

this used to be a former check point all for ukraine in the town of my yours can. these are the kinds of things that are absolutely everywhere here. this is and they to a made grenade launcher, still intact his still workable. and the soldiers here are prepared to use it at any time against their enemy. ukrainian military have been fortifying these positions for the last 8 years. they've been using this town of my york to regularly fire against civilians. the city of gold garlic, which is not far away. well, at the moment, everything here has been destroyed and stray dogs and cats are the only inheritance o these french has had the moment from one quarter of artie douglas republic,

a photographer and soldier and ukraine's neo nazi as of battalion has been on a tour of the u. s. visiting pro ukraine events during his trip. dmitri, as that ski was pictured with hollywood after sean penn, as was the u. s. law maker and is even reported to have visited the state department dmitri cuz that's he became known in western media after his photos was neo nazi as of battalion soldiers inside the olive. stall, steel factory gained popularity. but more recently because that's key posted multiple images featuring nazi symbols, honors twitter page, which were later deleted the images showed new not c t shirts in his wardrobe, a tattoo of a double arm swastika. similar to those warned by german concentration camp guards and a swastika inspired pizza. human and labor rights lawyer dan kabbalists believes support of the far right. has been a part of u. s. foreign policy for decades. well,

i mean, i think we have to go back to the reality that the u. s. has been supporting neo nazis and even nazi's hardcore nazis in crane for about 80 years. these are the friends of the u. s. these are the folks that the u. s. is using it's world 1st against the soviet union and now against russia. so really it's not surprising at all. this is part and parcel of us for aussie for decades. what i guess is knew about it is that now you've been out of celebrities like sean penn embracing these people. i guess that's what's really new. people have been programmed now to view the ads, our battalion as heroes of ukraine and the fight against russia. it's an incredible thing that really we witnessed only since february, right? i mean, so the media campaign has been a meant using way affective at to convincing the population of the u. s. ironically, particularly the liberal population, right, rank and file,

the democratic party. that the as all battalion or the good guys the south african parliament has postponed a long awaited vote on impeachment proceedings against president cyril rama fossa. last week, the leader found himself in hot water after a prob revealed he may have been involved in serious misconduct or corresponded in johannesburg. has more the clouds loomed large over the johannesburg skyline, making the cloud looming over president. settled on my partner and his ruling african national congress. today the party's tub brought the national executive committee, which is the highest decision making body between conferences med here in nazareth, south of johanna's back to decide whether or not to the racial report that found that president obama porter has an impeachable case. to answer this follows

a robbery, a drama as a private game firm in february 2020, where an estimated 500000 us dollars in hot currency was stolen. raising many questions as to the president's conduct and why the bid move was not reported on to the police now. and i'm a pause that stood here today on the day of his political idol, nelson mandela, passing some 9 years ago as he's our life fought for his political life. this is also the eve of parliament's last sitting for the year and is a day where political parties, opposition, political parties are expected to either vote for impeachment proceedings, all a vote of no confidence against precedents settled on my part. but as the n e c said here to decide on the future, they themselves when not unanimous as to whether or not to support president obama

was following about out of a meeting that was really expected to be a formality president, settled on port is legally challenging the findings of the independent panel report by applying for direct access as we understand to the countries highest court, and despite the acrimony of consensus that was achieved here by the national executive committee. it still remains to seen whether the parliamentarians of this party will told the party lie, a thumb have voiced their interest to vote with their conscience and less following of the party lie. got a bill is out of a lot of t, south of johannesburg in kenya. kicker you community leaders are fighting to reclaim relics of their cultural heritage taken by the british during the colonial era. though. museum mia,
