it all. my wife is here with me now. so we have finally reunited with young people to each obama. go with a billboard saying, dean saying you have saved a dollar bus. and now you will say, but you can see that the people don't know where the dorm position a, in terms of africans who express support for russia. he says, they probably don't know where the bus is, or even who president vladimir putin. it's a good evening where ever you are the world. welcome to international, it's just gotten 5 am here in the russian capital, and it's great to have you with us. i'm rather mommy, let's take a look at today's top stories. we start with the latest developments in the dom bus . local officials say 3 people were killed as ukraine force is on least

a barrage of artillery fire on residential areas in the city of the nest. authorities say this house a rob said in flames off it was hit by ukraine artillery. shoving a home was completely destroyed by the fire. an apartment building little so heavily damaged and fires is fluid nearby vehicles. this whole neighborhood is residential without any furniture installation for foothill. se ukrainian force has repeatedly shelled the city on friday. this is some the off the moth miles will. buildings in the city center would damaged authority, said e printing grad rocket r 3 system was used in the attacks. that type of weapon is joanie not precise. it's use a target lodge areas and cools massive destruction, rasa pointed to the ongoing, you cleaning shelling of the,

asking the latest un security council meeting in which there were also concerns raised about weapons supplied to keep ending up incremental hands. roses. ambassadors spoke about what those workers have been useful. as many you'd have done, yes, could briskly a real massacre with the use of western weapons has been taking place in tenacity in recent weeks as ukrainian forces pushed by western countries are trying to literally destroy the city. they are conduct daily attacks on residential areas where there are no military targets was crowded, places are being hit during rush hour. there have been significant casualties and destruction with her fly round for new york correspondent kelly more in kind of good to see k. what did the russian, what did the russians focus on during this un security council meeting? well, just before the un security council meeting began in manhattan at the un chamber,

just before it began, the shelling had just started. the attack on done ask that you just described had already begun. so the remarks made by the russian ambassador were quite rolliger. as he was describing what was going on. he described attacks on civilians. he described how the forces, based in cuba, how they've been using the weapons provided to them by the united states, crimes against civilians. they have committed. here is some of what the russian ambassador said when addressing the un security council. so people thought it was among the supplied weapons, the u. s. high mars multiple launch rockets, systems are particularly noteworthy, which we know for sure and key of in washington have repeatedly, indirectly confirmed is. so is that american specialists are involved in the operation of these installations. the targeting with the h i m a r s, is conducted with the help of u. s. military satellites, while u. s. military personnel on the ground, co ordinate with the intelligence forces from representatives of kia themselves,

have admitted that not a single attack with h. i m a r s system has taken place without the consent of the united states. now, the russian ambassador pointed out that u. s. leaders are constantly bragging about how precise these weapons that they manufacture in an export are and how they clearly hit the targets. they're intended for the russian ambassador pointed out that if that is the case, that raises question at all. the civilians who have been killed by rapids letters though precise, getting the targets there. and right now, a big point of the need that was also raised by russian ambassador to ben z. a was the flow of these latins not just to the forces in the board, but also to criminal organizations and terrorists and other groups. and how there seems to be a lack of oversight on the part of the united states on to who the very corrupt government and ukraine might be handing off or selling these weapons to. here is

how he also spoke on this issue that didn't make him of the major difficult topic is that weapons sent to ukraine or being smuggled around the world. we have already warned about the risks of weapons falling into the hands of terrorists and other criminal groups. this is not speculation. it is a warning. a concern by european states themselves with the problem of theft of weapons from ukrainian military warehouses appeared a long time ago. the situation has already got out of control weapons intended for kiya, for surfacing on the black market, not only in europe, but also in the middle east and africa. now when the representative of the united states spoke before the un security council, he responded as is typical. when u. s. leaders respond to russia, he simply dismissed everything that russia said, despite all the evidence and the careful documentation dismissed at all as just dis, information. and, and it's also important to note that russia brought forward experts to speak before

the un security council. some of those experts were able to speak, but others were blocked and prevented. russia wanted to bring forward a number of experts to testify before the 15 member body that leads the united nation about the dangerous flow of weapons and how, you know, the usa unloading all these weapons and to key of how it could have global security implications. that could threaten many countries, not just russia and ukraine. so that was the meeting that took place i in the un security council chamber. caleb, thanks so much to bring us up to speed those to begin sooner that again. ah, my movie on our rushes president letterman puts in, has expressed doubts about the potential for negotiating a sustainable si, fi with ukraine, saying quote, how to negotiate and where all the guarantees he had. his former german, also anglo merkel of the training previous sci fi deal that they agreed upon in

minsk ortiz to long coarser, has a details. vladimir putin just wrapped up a press conference after a meeting of the supreme council of the eurasian economic union. and at the top of the agenda were subject specifically focused on trade and energy. but i also heard a bit from vladimir putin about the kind of support that russia's been getting specifically on the african continent. i was able to ask him what he had to say about a recent comment made by just set burrell, that people who support russian africa support vladimir putin and russia because they don't exactly know who vladimir putin is. or don't know where don boss is on a map. well, in response, vladimir putin pointed to the deep historical ties that russia has with africa, dating back to soviet times when much economic aid was delivered by russia to the continent for industrial and economic general economic development. now, the russian president also touched upon the subject of former german chancellor

angle of merkel, and he said that she had deceived russia. and when it comes to the minced protocols that were supposed to end the war in ukraine. years before russia launched its special military operation, let's take a lesson, just the grid of them. it was to be honest for me, this was completely unexpected. this is disappointing. frankly speaking, i do not expect to hear that from the former chancellor. i always hoped that the german leadership was genuine. yes, they were in ukraine site, supported it. but nevertheless, it seemed to me that the german leadership had always true. and for a settlement that we agreed upon, got in particular during the misc negotiations to look over what we have heard only confirms that we did everything right in terms of sort of the special military operation. why? because it turns out that nobody wants to fulfill the means agreements form or you quinn and present portion co said he signed them, but didn't plan to fulfill them. sheila marell is a major political figure of the contemporary era, like people one said about brezhnev,

but african knows what russia ease were at. ease african knows russia's role in his liberation from colonialism. there is almost no single african country that has not received our political media, economic and mil to support. we have very persistent, friendly relations with african states. if those officials, you mentioned earlier, nowhere africa ease and what conditional the peoples of africa are in, they wouldn't obstruct the russian food and fertilizer shipments to africa on which the crops and the rescuing of hundreds of thousands of people from death from starvation to pans. latimer poon also spoke a bit about europe's decision to establish a price cap on russian oil exports, saying that this is going to be a bad decision for the entire global energy market. and specifically for consumers as well. he said a few words about the ukraine conflict, saying that it's going to take a long time to regulate the conflict and the situation there, as well as the nuclear doctrine. he also spoke about russia's nuclear doctrine,

saying that russia would only launch a nuclear weapon if one was fired at it. that's in contrast, of course, to washington's nuclear doctrine, which takes a preemptive approach. so that's basically a wrap up of the main points. the vladimir putin made at this press conference here, while russian for the moment presume was in curtis and put in was addressing questionable remarks by the eaves top diplomat. deborah insulted the intelligence of africans as for support for russia. laurel had said they probably don't know where the dumbass is, or even who puts in is by russia is able to the fled, blame twist reality and to find an audience in some part of the will. so i've seen the tv screen, it is a african young people on districts, obama goal, where the board same foot dean sang. you have saved a don bus and now you will save us. it's really a shock, a well,

the game can see that these people don't know where the dorm buses maybe they don't even know who is 14, but they are getting mobilized on districts. and they see a summer capital over a country who is a, a candidate to become member did a be a union. you had to go to got michael, have to go to the balcony. and you were in the balcony. so thanks. happy birthday, mister put in. while these comments were by joseph burrell, do not surprise many on the continent, and they explain why africa keeps looking eastwards for corporation as well as development. these come as well as the burrell really and not just races which offend many on the continent, but they also come to be expected the kind of cake thought they have led many

european countries to come up africa, divide, people support conflict and only really come to africa, when they bring the cameras and aid europe has never really held africa in terms of is development and for what they have taken from the african continent. one would imagine that they would give beg, mr. burrell and the history of commons really put, paid to what we on the continent. that was what you thought. we've wondered what kind of skills you would need to have in order to become a policy chief, let alone and policy chief. mister brown does not have the wherewithal with words. he keeps saying the same thing statement is not only about africans, but people of the rest of the world. true. how is he able to travel the world and still represent europe on a global phase of community that consider itself need us and such commons and such guys? this is still a buffle to many of us,

the rest of the world. most of the rest of the goal, it's a jungle and the jungle could invade. the goddess the gardeners have to go to the jump the to be and has to be much more engage with the rest of the world. otherwise the rest of the world will invade us less. barella was not the only mind in the house. some sending to you prevailed with the man who actually represented was a new kind of europe should prevent. and i do think that this eric and tone and the lack of respect that is heard coming from the european union towards africa, is part of the problem leading to africans. perhaps thinking that savy salvation is going to come from russia. and that is the kind of european mindset that africans would like to at least engage with. and not that i have mentality that we've seen

from mr. brown, people in africa, the european for what they are. we see them as the divert aid that would have otherwise helped people in africa and the pilot on all in the drug. the one time that have gone to ukraine following the conflict has really opened the eyes of, of the rest of the world with regards to where we are placed in terms of priorities for the european continent. they opened up for the following. that conflict well come ukrainians with open arms while africans get chased back on the small little dinky boats and they have to make that fade for crossing again to the motherland. we stay on the continent now. as african languages have been receiving a renewed prominence in nigeria with the government setting out on educational

policy to promote the study of local dialects in schools. the recently improve bill is aimed shifting the focus from english and native languages and the west african nation. however, the initiative has been complicated by the number of the huge number which will require of local languages will, will require the government adapt schoolbooks and other educational materials. we heard from a nigerian school director about the plans. when i had done the instruction from the gulf, my true delphi shall visit, i was so blood or in especially, or that the family as wills. no, he said the primary gentle socialization. that is the 1st school that is shide is born into that they tried, is introduced into so starting our college did modern

moder luggage stats in d 1st teach of the education of a child with the use of the model language that is your bod, e, mo, also, as the case may be, is the best that should happen in the education sector. we also refer who are the head of the nigerian teachers union in laid off about the reforms you drink or teach reduce off motor tank. it is for nitro that it has understanding on the side of the student is we are killing potentia in our younger generation by him forcing another luggage as a medium of communication,

no doubt they must learn it so that they can favorably compete in time of you know 2nd job internationally. that to where you understand english or you understand french or you understand jama? did our perform your local language that were, has your charts, you know, to secure job across the globe? what you cannot give watching. i don't ah, victor boot the man doves by the where says the merchant of death has been released from us prison following more than a decade in custody. and is now back in his homeland russia. he was freed enough, right level prison exchange between moscow and washington. victor boot landed at an airport in the russian capital on thursday night. he was sentenced virus authorities to 25 years in prison,

back in 2012 on charges of arming terrace and is fine to feel american citizen. he has thought, he denied those accusations. mister boot was traded for american boss will play brittany greiner, who have been convicted of drug offenses in russia. she pleaded guilty. i was sentenced to 9 years behind bars. earlier this year, the thought was conducted in the united arab emirates of the month of negotiations . on the was a 1st interview that is a boot following his release with a phone conversation recorded for us by a russian parliament member and public figure marie bettina. mister boot shared his thoughts and emotions about his long and difficult case. tell me please, how he is selling mt at your back home. so should you may not the still need to realize these feelings. i like the words to describe it all. my wife is here with me now, so we have finally reunited because of past. what do you think of the timing of the

exchange? why now leaning out, you know, when it comes to american politics, any view and why something happened would be inappropriate. just happened and thank god it did what you what you, what's up and then what is that new western media claims you. i a very important person from the russian government. interestingly for president potentially. what would you say to that then? i don't, i don't think i'm somehow important in the sphere of russian politics. the thing is all this time i've been supported by moscow, by all of you here. as you see, we understand what is happening to russians abroad now. and russia simply cannot stand it. and it was important because just that russia does not abandon its own people, re la distasteful. do you see yourself as a victim of the west, serous or fall? they asked me mercer, i don't think so. you see, you have to be very careful with the terminology here. i think it's just a consequence of the fact that the west believes they didn't finish us off in the 19 ninety's when the soviet union began to disintegrate. and since they see that russia is now striving towards independence, choosing its own life,

depending on what people want that shocking for their grand or. and they think they can just well break us up again. divide, rush into many parts. so discord among the russian people of various nationalities so that some kind of civil wars begin again in thus gain control of russian territory, pneumonia go at at store some believe that exchanging you for you as basketball player is a sign of washington's weakness, which do you think they cave going on in regards of the as for americans, other politics always take place at a childish level of street boys. look, you're weak. you didn't stay on the challenge. i'm sure. the russian leadership and decision makers don't think by such categories, whether you're weak or you aren't weak to power, never needs any kind of cheap manifestation. there's no point proving this exchange is a sign of weakness or strength. i think the very fact that this swapped your took place, 1st of all means that common ground was found. otherwise the steel would not have happened yesterday. i mean, meanwhile, there is another marathon who is serving a 16 year sentence in a strict regime p locally in russia, paul whelan,

he was detained in moscow in 2018 and convicted of espionage. 2 years later, when expressed his appointment about the recent prisoner flock, specifically of decisions by the american authorities. i am very disappointed that more has not been done for my release, especially as the 4th anniversary of my arrest approaches. i was led to believe that things were moving in the right direction and that the governments were negotiating and that something would happen fairly soon. i was arrested for a crime that never occurred. i don't understand why i am still sitting here. it seems, whitney goin those wall suitable full the current you as political agenda, the american use out, let's see. and then honda gushing praise for her during a recent will cost. brittany greiner represents everything in this country. she's female, she's l u b t q. she's black and she's extraordinary. when she walks off that plane,

when her wife hugs her, when that moment happens, that is going to be decade defining people. remember that and it should show us what we can do when we stand again, it says all politics again, why was she chosen and not. busy well, in purely politics, again, she fits the stereotype of a biden's political base of support. right. so he wants to cater to them. he's free is brought home one of their own it's, it's entirely political decision because certainly ok, she's a very talented and successful. amazing basketball player, but aren't all lives equal? shouldn't we all be equal? i mean, you're paul. well, he's not a great basketball player as far as i know. and, but isn't he also have rights as an american citizen? why did they choose him? well, again, this is purely politic. it was a political decision why she was chosen and not him. he's someone who is most likely we could probably guess is probably probably a conservative. so we can leave him in, in the prison of moscow. but let's say the l g

b t will save the lesbian basketball player. that's very important for madison, our attention to central europe, serbia says it's considering sending a file through the course of, of to hundreds of lethal vs in the south. the federal public took control of a part of the service majority defense. the fleece ways came and rising tensions in cause of over new requirements demanding local license plates for residence. instead of serving issues. one service considers the brinkley region of us, part of its national territory serves in cost or have also resigned from administered positions and fruitless as close of scheduled new elections. belgrade claims both of our has been violating agreements, rooted the even guys, it's a professor at the university of in studies in bell was his service should not for promises coming from brussels. you has described itself completely.

the mission of the eel ex has shown to be absolutely incapable of solving any problems. and also it's proven to be biased every single time when the albanian side would escalate. what we would here calls for, for, for peace and coming out calls would be given to both sides by the you. so this is really a, you know, it looks like like a gambling place, like casino, because the house winds every time. and the house is nato basically, because the, you know, really was behaving all along as only just an avatar of natal. ah prisons. lawn tennis association has been hit with

a $1000000.00 fine off the wind. little band plays from brush. i'm better roost earlier this year. the ruling from the atp which controls the men's game globally follows an earlier find by the women's tennis association. his reaction by representatives of british tennis we stand by our original position on this matter, that unilateral decision making by members of the association of tennis professionals threatens our ability to operate as a global sport. we believe that the measures taken protect the long term future of our games and his commitment to married base participation without discrimination for individual athletes. wimbledon lost the points because the government dictated banning the russians and bella ruffians instead of a few players losing all players lose let's be totally honest. the only reason russians were banned from wimbledon was that they didn't want to run the risk of

royalty handing out to winning trophy to a russian. international governor association of tennis professionals has worn the british tournaments may face expulsion from all atp competitions on that. so if they continue, the bomb ration athletes were free. the seats fluid from a number of mediators, events held in the u. k. over the conflict and ukraine. other he tournaments on the level circuit, including of certainly and us opens, still allowed russian and belo russian players to compete. the international olympic committee is present, said the act of the british tennis organizers, will political, thomas bah, recently express his willingness to let russian and, and beller, russian athletes take part in the 2020 full summer olympics in paris. but despite the i o c's previous recommendations to bar all russian and biller russian athletes from competing at international events source, jealous,

alamo believes there are financial grounds behind a boss change of opinion. money matters more than rhetoric and virtue of being signalled by the law and association. and of course, most trustees form their real money making women were discriminated against wants who were completely seen, want to didn't dope. and we're not involved. don't even bring a whistle. they also discriminated against and teams as well. we redo hope. finally, sports can step away from politics a little bit because we do know are the main drivers behind the exclusion of russian nice these teams for instructional support, since the end of february have been us and u. k. they are pushed very strongly for and now we're seeing that a lot of other countries, germany, france, spain, italy, hungry, even ship and say, wait, hold on,

and not enough that punish people for what is perceived to be around. money matters more than rhetoric if those are made to be seen, where all organizations are in the sea or not will carry this through. will actually bring russian athletes which teams arisen specialists back into the old or not. so i think it's it's a difficult situation. it's not gonna be so very quickly while the road. so this is all to have all seen dot com for all the latest years. literally back though at the top of the hour, with a,

a, [000:00:00;00] a . ah, a winter as no it is, you know, but you know, even in europe pool, burger's still waiting for alternative energy sources continue to heat their homes the old fashioned way with firewood y'all obviously comes in. yeah. what's going on?
