explaining that it was the result of air defense and something that has happened more than once. however, the secretary of beller was a security council. can see there is the probability of ukraine accidentally hitting the bell or russian territory to below ukraine's defense ministry stated it was rated to invite experts to help investigate the incident, but only from conscious not allied with russia. it also sat, it did not rule out the deliberate provocation in which moscow launched its korea cruise missiles on a path where they would be intercepted over bela russian territory. that statement corresponds with the recent claims by ukrainian officials that russia would be planning and offensive from baller was, however, western governments maintain that they have no evidence of that. this latest incident is similar to that in november when as 300 new sale landed in village and poland, killing 2 people and spark and concerned that nato would be drawn into the conflict mag. then russia denied keith's delegations, led the miss, alack him from its territory. later, warsaw and washington confirmed that it was

a ukrainian air defense me sal launched to intercept russian attacks hard auntie correspondent, sophia newness. thank you order. turning our attention now to africa. morrow ethiopian airlines has resumed flights to the capital of the t grey rebel held region, citing the so allow people who were stranded to reunite with their families. we heard from some of the very 1st travelers who shed they relief about going home. come with some what doesn't. i lived here and has been separated from my husband and child whom i love. i came here for my daughter's examination and was suddenly stuck here. when i heard of the news, i fell to the ground and cried. i'm extremely happy and i wish it will continue like this. i pray the piece will be sustained when there is peace. there is every family medicine the joyful moment because we're going to meet a relative after a long time. i am very excited. i pray to god that the remain in things like

communication and other issues will also be addressed as soon as i oh, i came here to see my due to he was giving birth at the time my plan was to say just for 2 weeks and then everything shut down suddenly. it has been more than a year and a half. all righty. i'm very happy that pieces returning and excited that i am finally going home. the move comes off if he opened officials visited at cigarettes, capital mac hell for the 1st time and years following the peace, the old brokerage by the african union. the truth is expected to end the conflict which broke out in november of 2020 between ethiopian federal forces on the t gray peoples a liberation front. a conflict in ethiopia has left thousands of people on the brink of starvation, of which the un kohl's, one of the worst famines in recent history. incoming israeli prime minister netanyahu has vowed to make settlement expansion in the west bank, one of its top priorities a meet,

a reaction that was coming from well from palestinian officials, have a listen. the state of palestine rejects the next ation, is violent racist, an incitement to ethnic cleansing, policy guidelines of israel's new government. this agenda is an extension threat to the blessed indian people and they're ineligible and inviolable rights. when the nose newly formed, coalition has released guidelines to advance on the west by territories. reportedly the incoming government is the most cod line and radical and the country's history of western countries have previously condemned television moves to legalize israeli settlements scattered throughout the west bank. meanwhile, the un envoy involved in the middle east peace process. i underlined that a un security council meeting that this past year was the deadliest ever in the west bank. i am gravely concerned by the sharp increase in violence against civilians on both sides, which exacerbates mistrust and undermines a peaceful resolution of the conflict is rarely settlement expansion in the occupied west bank,

including east jerusalem remains deeply concerning settlements constitute a flagrant violation of united nations resolutions and international law, they undermine the prospects of achieving a 2 state solution by systematically eroding the possibility of establishing a contiguous independent viable and sovereign palestinian state. for summer forma is ready, different people tend less to prime minister benjamin netanyahu expressing concerns new government that can be considered as well. perhaps the most anti arab and israel's history. the diplomats even suggest that the new policy may seriously damage ties with other countries. as the desired expansion in the west by contradicts international law. we heard from locals that who noted, well serious concerns that will have vehicle miles east extremist government, has every intention of conducting an escalation against the palestine and people

and set its eyes on imposing is radi control over the west bank and the rights of his rather people through all the lands maybe are shop. yeah, the world, the i'm a little hello simians have tried these governments, but this is the most extreme and racist government ever like it. but in light of the palestinian division, it doesn't look good for them on the palestinian areas, have been in flames this year. more than a 175 palestinians died in the west bank and 56 in gaza. danielman called the what this government seeks to take over the west bank can increase the presence of his railey settlement and this year has been the bloodiest is many palestinians were intentionally targeted and killed, which means our israel wants to ethnically cleanse the west bank and clear all palestinians from its r, as is said in these railey media. i live across live a lot more now, course a lot to defense on government commentator, but also contributor an analyst at the higher ed newspaper mer, or an a very good evening to you. so thanks so much for joining us. just about a nearly 20 pause 5. were you also? thanks for coming on the program. what do you think committed? i mean, last week the un security council had held

a briefing up on the situation in the middle east. the palestinian question was on top of the list, why is the un security council now suddenly getting involved? amir? so some of the criticism which you're just reported about to extreme, there is no cleaning. there is no targeting of all the scenes to us. but yes, this is a very dangerous period, because for the last 14 years now he's really government. most of them, of course, we're headed by and you know, that was a period of the year and a half, not to we smith and you know, with the him, none of those government has it's been the cause of fee, but the incoming government threatens to set back the fees by expanding settlement by threatening the viability of the future probably since

day and even we've been israel. the rock problem is really society and therefore the government, he's seen by many israelis back. he's really population and they be legal. but luckily, well want to pick you up on that because israel is expansion in the occupied west bank. it has been cold in the past, illegal by the united nations. and yet, here we are again. how does history seem to keep repeating itself? so on the problem is, for the last 55 years, it has all been seen a temporary sunday. there will be a peace process and then the permanent solution will the match and everything which is done is in to read. but the in kareem get some more is a lot of dangerous and we can explode that any moment. now the state of palestine,

which you because gaza is not part of the west bank, under the police being in the story. so there is a problem in the triangle, west bank, gaza israel, and then if the government threatened to make it even worse. but we're also saying amera, you know, during these days, right now we're seeing certain reproach, months going on between various arab countries. there are certain players in the region who are off 2 years becoming more and more friendly. and then we have this letter from of 100 former israeli different about so worried about the countries expansion is policy. they worried about how it might hom, israel regionally. and even on the p r global stage, it's a tough time for israel. in that sense, do you think israel needs to offer a fig leaf to regional members and, and try and coagulating more of a family atmosphere to try and improve the state of relations in the region. amir, well, you know, it's a false hope by the far right. copies in israel,

that they can bypass the palestinian issue and normalize relations with other countries in the persian gulf, all north africa. they have to sold the palestinian israeli conflict 1st, or at least in parallel. and to what you quoted from the diplomats also $1200.00 for former use rarely for violence and navigators and come out against the government. so the government will come back and say, we were elected by the people you are on the civil service or military officers. we will tell you what to do. but there is a simmering be sent in is really society. and if the government makes good or makes bad, in this case, on the promises it could explode internally and not only between israelis and palestinians, that's very interesting how you describe it, essentially politically rough waters in the, in the looming future. i mean,

my last question for you before i let you go and that and yeah, and now we're turning to office, is he, is he still facing a trial of corruption allegations against him? is there any movement on that? yes, he's still standing dryer, but the way i hear is manipulate the man who knows and he may legislate l. 3 allows him to avoid trials as long which means that that's for the next 4 years, which will really make the entire proceeding. and this is one reason why many remedies are against a contributor and analysts horace newspaper. but also defense and government commentator are always great to see you. thank you for your time. thank you. i thank you for joining us for this program from moscow. ukrainian security forces

have again raided an orthodox church at this time of the central city of pope forest. and we spoke with a lot, i'm a lawyer, a chairman of the russian orthodox church, his media department. he says the whole situation is connected to politics and is the christian and worshippers who are paying the price. i think that ah, reforms that he grinned and ah, electricians are talking about is not the right word for the situation. what we're witness in here is an attempt to abolish the entire church in a completely illegal and lawless way the only canonical church in ukraine. i mean, of course the ukrainian orthodox church. it is a gross violation over human rights. unfortunately, i'm not surprised at all. that's international, religious, or, or international human rights organizations as well. a keep silence on this issue.

the whole situation is it's a political construction because as i've already said, the ukranian orthodox church is autonomous. ah, it's a, it's free in the financial administrative way. so all those faith reasons that they're using to abolish actually the church. ah, the, it's all made you to political reasons. there, there is no, any dangerous links ah, with russian orthodox church. and as i've already said, the people who go to church then with the threats to or ukraine and political power, they just people who believe in one god and that they, they belong to the same spiritual reality. are so good to have your company for his program. or the indian air force will dominate the future battlefields. that's the statement from an i a f wing commander, offer a successful test of a supersonic air to suffer cruise missile with an extended range. now the test was

carried out in the bay of bengal where a target ship was hit from a distance of 450 kilometers out. this version of the missile had its range upgraded some good pictures. they're showing you right now. the missed all that was launched by a modern a su hoya, that son su 30 fight a jet that india purchase from russia. the plane makes up a significant part of the indiana forces more than $200.00 jets. currently active, we cannot cross live now to a map is water than indian air marshal in retirement to discuss the outlook of the modern indian armed forces a very good evening to you. so thank you for joining us. so late in the evening here, what are your thoughts on, on the test that was performed in the overall state of the indian air force right now? things are certainly looking up. it would appear yes, thank you. good evening and glad to be here with you. certainly the test was a combination of a series of developments over the last few years and those, i think, you know,

the range has been extended further and that have been very, very well, that's the significant capability. we ramos, of that important weapon ya developed by russian the ideal and these to be waiting for the platform and live in the bridge. and in terms of operational ratings of action ramos, give them a significant value. well, this is something i want to bring up with you because as i understand this, this is one particular type of supersonic missile test. but as i understand, the military is testing hypersonic, hypersonic technologies these days. it's something that's that soon going to be on the forefront for the indian military do thing. yes, i mean, obviously with another neighbor that only has significant renal border

dispute. and particularly in the last 3 years, the detention having 3 significantly lower wing on to be feel that but the cable but it be live and running. and therefore it is quite logical. but in get to develop this capable to be quickly as possible. the 3rd to development, i've been on the west for quite a few years, and it's a natural process of developing testing, validating maybe a technology that go into the ground yet both checked out 2 years ago above and added a few other capabilities the best fit. so the hypertonic capability, really materialized in operation. i estimate them to call you with the phillips. what is, obviously it's not, not just india in the development stages. and perhaps even the final development stages of hypersonic missiles, of course, russia has them. and of course,

when you talk about your northern neighbor with various border disputes, china is also been working on hypersonic missiles as well. i guess it creates a stalemate in a sense, i guess it means that at the end of the day, the parties just have to sit down and negotiate border disputes or whatever the, the items and arguments may be, especially if both neighbors have the same hypersonic level of weapons, so, but when it, when it comes to this, this kind of weapon on the battlefield, would you consider india's military now being at the forefront of global military powers or steadily. i mean, in any case, it's a very large military that india has of ablation and strengthen capability. we have 1400000 strong. and there are like in the country has the modernization growth is linked to the financial history

process as well. but also in all time frame that big a long time, and certainly, lucian, nevertheless, the military, but it will respond. and it is one of the, obviously the leading military by the will to be particularly even, you know, the mileage, but a nuclear different capable of in years. and you've never been said and significant nuclear modernization that there is no doubt that you will consider major military. i was the m f. s warren marshall in retirement. joining us live for an international another day. we will speak for longer, but for now it's been a pleasure. have me one. thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you. and i thank you for joining us here for this program from moscow. always so good to have your company, especially with such a busy program. anything you may have missed catch up online either on auto dot com or
