july, for my headquarters in moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm peter scott. and here the top stories this hour. we start off with the latest from the dumbass, where a civilian woman has been killed by the ukranian shelling of the done nets for, for big city of alexander, of co, according to local authorities. earlier in the same area for us supplied a high mas rocket launchers were destroyed in the ukrainian controlled cities of roost, kafka and from a source. as according to russia's defense, ministry, and verified, i mean to footage shows the apparent aftermath of those russian strikes and 80 journalist of a bartlett has the details of how the situation is escalating across the phone lines. the rushes at the defense ministry has stated that in the attacks last night in dis kafka, a 120 ukrainian soldiers were killed. i think many people by now might have seen the footage shown of the massive blast. it was captured on french television as it

was broadcasting live last night. and according to the russian ministry of defense, they destroyed over $800.00 rockets, use, and multi launch rockets systems. initially, the rush has defense venture update today, noted that in addition to the 120 you creating soldiers killed, another 134 and mercenaries were killed. meanwhile, in this upper osha region the and, and talk mock. we know that a hospital has been struck by ukrainian shelling. we don't know yet. of any injuries. also in my keep got to the east of danielle ukrainian. a shelling has been using a american supplied high ours and january 1st. ukrainian attacks killed 63 russian soldiers and mckee, fca on the use of these high mar systems. it's, it's pretty well known by now on that as well. according to colonel douglas mcgregor, a well respected american colonel, he says he has stated in many interviews that it is not ukrainian forces that are operating the high mars, but american and british contractors. so that's an interesting additional piece of information last night in yes, in novato, which is

a city to the north of danielle ski crating and shelling targeted an apartment building. now i went there to day and there were no reports of injuries. there was damage to the building and it was a completely residential area here in done yet, sky january 1st, just after 4. i am ukraine child, the very center of the city with 25 grad rockets hitting just blocks from where i'm standing now. and they hit the, the main street r t my street. there are no military targets there whatsoever. i don't know, we haven't heard reports of injuries, but one apartment was badly damaged. and there is a children's library, beautiful historic children's library, directly across the street that was damaged by the blast. and throughout the day to day ukraine has continued to shell districts of denounced. or there's been a storm of harsh criticism from israelis unfold following the ukrainian parliament's decision to celebrate the birth step on bon dera, with an infamous ukrainian who collaborated with the nazis during world war 2. the tweets which praise bandera was quickly deleted after an outcry of anger. bandera

was the murderer of responsible for the genocide of poles in 1943 to 900. 44. when you p, a troops horribly killed about a 100000 polish civilians. there was no rod as tweet references step on ben dera, a ukrainian ultra nationalist, an anti semite, whose followers engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing against jews and poles. during world war 2 polling bandera would have hated a democratic liberally crane. he would be the 1st in line to assist tonight. it's jewish president, the controversial commemoration was posted by the ukrainian rada in the now deleted swedes. the post of a 3rd, the chief of ukraine's armed forces, posing in front of the portraits of the new forest figure, a quote by bon dera, g to fight for ukraine's independence from the soviet union was also used in that suite of stefan. but there are actively collaborated with nazi germany during the

2nd world war. he was the leader of the radical terrorist wing of the organisation of ukrainian nationalists. we still part in numerous mass killings, including the brutes or slaughter of an estimated $100000.00 the poles. the war era massacre has been labeled genocide by the polish government, jo, somewhere the senior research fellow at the global policy institute. think think, well, he says that the international community doesn't pay enough attention to, but there is reason rehabilitation in ukraine. it's very kind of, you know, half way. yeah. well this isn't probably the right way to do it. there is no outrage as there should be outraged over the celebration of a man responsible for hundreds of thousands of death of their own countrymen. not just what he did to the jews, not just what did the russians own people, the rehabilitation of band there has been going on the ferocious space ever since the orange revolution of 2004, poland knows very well that this is ongoing,

and yet it chooses to look the other way. sometimes it's so embarrassing, as in the case of this tweet, that they have to say something publicly, but it's a measure of the intensity of the rustle over it's a measure of the intensity of the rustle nato organization that poland actually is willing to go along with this with a man who was responsible for the master of their own country with hundreds of thousands of their own countrymen. and they willing to look the other way and continue to live the other way. just in order to keep in with the, the nature which was we continue to wrap up the top headlines of 2020 to the war. and ukraine on surprisingly dominated both the news and global political agendas. ortiz, don't courts look through the key milestones from the conflicts. the prelude to

russia's special military operations saw a massive intensification of ukrainian shelling of civilian areas and don boss, and plans for renewed assault against the region. the leaders of the van self proclaimed, done yet scan, lugens people's republics, declared mass evacuations of civilians. they had only one place to run russia that needed this way. would you have wanted this for your child? would you? i also do on this and neither of my grandchildren did a year. first i wouldn't have left. it's just that i had a stroke. i always stayed her. now, if left everything, every one behind tens of thousands of women children and the elderly fil temporary shelters throughout parts of western russia where they were welcomed by locals. days after the evacuations began, vladimir putin made what he called a long overdue decision to recognize the independence of the people's republics and sign treaties of military cooperation for you that she could do that. the purpose of this operation is to protect people who for the past 8 years have been facing

humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the key of regime to this. and we will seek to demilitarize and t not so fi ukraine as well as bring to trial. those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians including against citizens of the russian federation. but across the atlantic instead of addressing key ebs renewed offensive. it's constant ceasefire violations, or the previous 8 years in which ukraine was consistently shelling don boss, washington decided. all the blame for the conflict was moscow's to bear. russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring in the united states and its allies and partners will respond in the united and decisive way. mark saw a number of attempts to negotiate a quick ends to the conflict with both sides, sitting down for talks and minced and istanbul. but while russian officials are the ones who have been calling for a diplomatic solution long before the military operation began, he has power, careful. western patrons had something else in mind. a military victory over russia

to jeden, with one german group to the sheet of the item you put in when you want the ukrainians to win this war. we want to see mr. prudent and the russian army lose this invasion, lose this fight inside ukraine. on top of that, it was looking like he was using the negotiations to buy time until more western armaments could make it to the battlefield. he have certainly got what it wanted. thousands of western anti tank weapons systems. laser guided missiles and small arms were successfully delivered to ukraine, along with billions of dollars with the weapons and money to kiev came western sanctions of unprecedented severity on moscow. mainstream pundits predicted a death blow to the russian economy as the rubles value on international markets began a rapid downward spiral. but russia central bank reacted effectively and stabilized the markets leading to a backlash. and suddenly the west began to feel the heat of its own economic

warfare. in the beginning of april, russian troops deescalate it and pulled back from ukraine's northern regions. he of quickly declared victory while moscow called it a gesture of good will to pave the way for a ceasefire. but for the west, it was merely a q to double down on its military aid to key of this will will be one on the battlefield. additional 500000000 euros from the e p a for on the way weapons deliveries will be tailored to ukrainian needs. as a result, ukraine intensified it's bombardments of civilian areas across on boss and the information war was also escalating. as we saw widespread fake news from key of supporters concerning a legit russian war crimes, an ex commander from ukraine's neo nazi. as of battalion maxime jordan posted a video online that appeared to show dead civilians being dumped into a mass grave in the town of coop. ganske turns out the footage was completely fabric. it was the case up rules. the question arises,

what is the reason of his blood and untruthful provocation in boucher which cannot be excused? we are inclined to think that the reason is to desire to disrupt and go negotiations . you cuba 3 that are, you cheer to it. say now that american patterns are certainly complicit in this criminal action. i spending facts and block in the truth. now tentative point of view, the materials of the investigators, they become complicit in this terrible tragedy which was the result of the case for james crohn's. by mid may russia secured victory and the key daniel republic, city of mario bull, following months of heavy fighting over 2000 ukrainian troops, many of whom were hardened as of neo nazis finally surrendered at the as of stall factory after a grueling siege. for t. evan, it's western allies. these men who left as off stall, covered, and swastikas, and other nazi symbols were heroes. however, the russians speaking locals, who suffered through life under the aus occupation, had some very different stories to tell. uncle glanced to for you. my wife told me

that a ukrainian tank came and was shooting at a residential house. i have family there 2 kids. they were hiding in the basement like mice over the new mom. i've buried my mother and decided to stay here with the wound it off. the scariest moment was when the resolved fighters came. they used us as human shields. june saw ukrainian forces began to use american supplied high marks, missiles, which are both highly precise and highly devastating, but instead of focusing such firepower on the battlefield alone, washington helped kiev coordinate attacks against countless residential areas across on boss. 1 ah, ah, ah, despite the west continued supply of these nato great rockets and ukrainians use of

them to kill civilians, u. s. and europe still claims they are not a party to the conflict. nathan, not paul to, to the conflict. we support ukraine, but that those from michael's pointed to the culture. are we effectively at war with russia? no, we are not. not at all. russia is at war inside ukraine. and despite the rhetoric we heard from putin last night, trying once again to make this about the west versus russia, the united states versus russia, or nato versus russia. nothing could be farther from the truth. in the military operations, 5th months, russia liberated the entire lugens people's republic. the black sea grain deal was also reached between moscow and kiev, with turkey and the united nations helping broker the agreement. ukrainian grain could now return to the international market under the protection of the russian navy. all after the west accused moscow of sparking a wave of world hunger. putin is weapon ising hunger heave using feed security as a callous to of war. the decision to weaponized food is moscow's,

and moscow's law. this includes countries already under enormous dress. however, africans made it clear who was really to blame here, sir. lexi, or as far as access to russian products is concerned, the african union members are facing swift related sanction. problems, as most of our banks have ties with european bunks, the usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. the vast majority of the grain exported under the deal consistently went to those who needed it. the least specifically in western europe. august was a month of nuclear danger. ukraine intensified its shelling of the zappa raja nuclear power station. the biggest of its kind in europe used to have like he whistles, if the attacks of ukrainian army continue a new killer catastrophe could happen at any moment. in this case, the entire responsibility for this will fall on the western sponsors of key of huge territories in ukraine. rush and other countries will be under the threat of

radioactive contamination. the real scale of a nuclear disaster at the plant is impossible to even imagine. once again, the west's knee jerk reaction was to blame it all on russia, which controls the plant. even the international atomic energy agencies visit to the site failed to make any headway as the organization stopped short of admitting that ukraine is the one targeting the facility. use both of them the to the shelling continues, despite the fact that international atomic energy agency staff has been presented to facility and it is not hired do it in to find it body responsible. in the same month, amnesty international was accused of supporting terrorists by ukrainian president vladimir zalinski for daring to expose the ukrainian military's use of civilians as human shields and violating the laws of war. month 7, ukraine launches relentless counter attacks and the regions of his son and hawk of incurring massive casualties. and washington admitted it took a huge role in coordinating ukrainian troops. we do engage the ukrainians. i,

you know, at a, at a variety of levels on the military side, as we've said previously, we do provide time sensitive information to enable them to conduct operations and defend their, their home. in the same month, russia announced a partial mobilization with the goal of drafting, $300000.00 reservists, while for previously ukrainian regions voted in referendums to join the russian federation. they use guns can little know his whimsical referendums were held in the denounce can lugens people's republics and is approaching harrison regents. the results are well known. people have made their choice an unambiguous choice. in october, ukraine carried out a terrorist attack on the crimea bridge, killing 4 people and the west, congratulated them. the studious certainly welcomes diss and congratulates the ukrainian special operations units who are expected to be behind this operation. motivation and luscious edison. it's a bone for the soul, especially given yesterday, was put in se birthday is correct here is have such gift. i wish him more of such

gifts, just 2 weeks prior russia's north stream gas pipelines were crippled by an act of sabotage and vladimir putin vowed revenge. those actions simply cannot be ignored. we will of course, consider further steps. it would be impossible to do otherwise. it was a turning point and moscow's military strategy, massive high precision. russian missile and drone strikes against ukraine's military and energy infrastructure became the name of the game. november saw rushes pulled back from her son's regional capital. and i moved to save the lives of soldiers and civilians, as the city was too exposed and dangerous to defend. this was followed by a ukrainian purge of so called russian collaborators there and, and carter cove. not long after that, the media was screaming world war 3 after missile landfall on polish territory killed 2 people. ukraine pointed the finger at russia and the western media initially blindly followed key of skewed you as you how many times as ukraine said

that the actions of the terrorist state will not be limited to our country alone. hissing nato territory with miss isles. this is a russian missile attack on collective security. this is a really significant escalation. action is needed. nature has shouldn't be restrained, at least in its language, in its message to russia. would the you asked me to adjust its force posture there, and there is actually a lot that nato could do. turns out though, it was a stray ukrainian surface to air missile something, even washington and poland were forced to admit. so here we are in december, the u. s. has already reached a whopping $22000000000.00 and it's total military assistance to kiev with almost $45000000000.00 more in aid approved for next year. as to say nothing of all the other military aid the country received from the european union country as mister sunni to day, the military potential and capabilities of almost all major nato countries are actively used against russia. nevertheless,

our enlisted soldiers and officers are fighting for russia courageously, steadfastly, and confidently step by step, solving the tasks that have been set. so that's how 2022 ends the never ending flow of weapons and money to a country that has long been infamously corrupt and a global geopolitical confrontation between nuclear powers in what some are already calling world war 3. well and now to another conflict, this seems no closer to resolution. the moroccan armies positions in west africa house if it increased its acts by the western sahara liberation army in recent days . for those forces currently occupy over 80 percent of the region which the sarai arrive. are a democratic republic lays claim to ortiz cromwell a subtler dig deeper into the decades long conflict. african victims of what moroccan authorities have called a stampede on his border with spanish. not african enclave of molina discrimination

and violence from police are often routed in colonial and slavery prisons. and this was no different ah, 6 months after the incident, the government of spain and moral gl denied responsibilities for the death, similar a relic of spain's colonial pass that is still cherished. today, the incident is alleged, saw thousands of migrants and refugees, tired of being changed, public animals with little to no welfare climb up 6 meter long iron fences

that led to precious with police. scores of migrants were left, did. many died, wavy fell the governments of morocco and spain under reported the full extent of this horror and denied any responsibility. but not every one was willing to take this at face value, even after enquiries by rabbit and madrid. at this dismal 6 month anniversary, the spanish american authorities have continued to deny any responsibility for the carnage at miller. there is a growing mountain of evidence of multiple, serious human rights violations. the smacks of a cover up and racism pain ruled over western sahara from 1884 until 1975 following international pressure. the un resolution on the colonization, spain was forced to seed control over its territory. neighboring morocco wasted no

time in annexing western sahara illegally. claiming it's part of its kingdom for 5 decades morocco waged war on the surrounding people. and for 16 of those years. the poly, sorry of france and national liberation movement lead the defense of the so wily length. the position expressed by the spanish government totally contradicts international legitimacy, the united nations, their freakin union, the european union, the international court of justice, the european court of justice and origin. organizations do not recognize moroccan sovereignty over the western sahara. but it wasn't just fe. germany also encouraged moral cause ref berlin denounced former you as president donald trump's recognition of more rock was claim over with the the hara and the united nations in march of 2021. moreover, and foreign ministry 7 all ties with germany, including german organizations based in morocco. but as soon as one of shoals

became the new chancellor, the country seemed to assume a much more relaxed status. using energy issues caused by the ukraine conflict as an excuse. germany signed the hydrogen deal with morocco, berlin now to beck's moral has claim. over sarah, we left germany considers the autonomy plan presented in 2007 as a serious and credible effort by morocco. and as a good basis for a solution agreed upon between both parties. this europeans you, paul chrissy of looking out for your own interest seems more like a western privilege. the united states, the so called defenders of democracy and liberty in the world also recognize morocco's claim. in a quid pro quo, the deal is a bite. has 2 men in diplomatic ties with israel,

even though the united nations recognized the police are your friend as the legitimate representative of the salad, our we people, the west only cares about it, interest and narrative. but for many in the global south, it would be a moral any justice if west thin interests are allowed to subjugate an entire people without a rebuttal. cannibalization for r t and jonathan on agirri and officials have announced the rest of 10 suspects and members of an illegal militant group. falling a raid on a training camp near the border with cameroon. prior to that raid officers received tips reported a linking for of the arrested men to the burning of a nigerian police station vacuum. swenson's wency militants in the region have been linked to english speaking separatist groups in the consistent border between

cameron and nigeria. disputes between warring factions have resulted in scores of casualties, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes, or many into neighboring nigeria. separatism has played cameroon since as far back as 1961, when modern state lines withdrawn, forcing former colonies and people speaking different languages to combine. under one rule, recent tensions have resulted in a demand for the removal of french speaking judges from predominantly english speaking districts. local militants have also launch attacks on residents and government forces. we heard from some local people. we have bonded and picking up communities and schools we taught, you know, so cova making up these people of these communities. there is women on a dog to do the governor. she gives you more, was worth so this month of not being q. christ

was african each as the for 49 julia the language divide systems from the continent colonial past. after the border between british held nigeria and french held cameroon, divided members of similar ethnic backgrounds, ethnic groups for each other to determine which colonial era language should dominate the regions. that inquired in part of the cost. because if the po number did not partition come into french, come around where they call themselves. frank, a voice speaking french, i'm add him to french control of my simulation on the, in the room. that was good because by the british or the level of british come, a rule, mound will now call themselves and reform speak in english. we know how these people know, go ahead, cause the enemy's colonial intricacies and the complications and colonial legacies led to the inability of the 2 systems to coin this together. and they began to

fight into what we know today as the crisis, if you compare it cameroon as a colony of germany, i believe that he who are hiring the bonanza, calling of germany one language, one education, i just don't want to be our system. we will not be in this model, i'm fixing to be a journalist and also at a smith says the dialogue is the only way to resolve the separatist lead. conflicts separated them has always been covered. room in modern cupboard was created in 1961 . so it seems, then they have to be paid full when not in one, but we know the only difference now who will pick it up on my c p c. the not home for all the 8th being go meet on camera and saw it. and the not doing that either what be read every schools being needed to get it from going to school.

they even knew the drop of the people who are going to school. they kill students at the school in the t. c. in the south. what that is, what they said 30 doing, which is something on acceptable. the current situation, these can not be so through military means it is through dialogue. and finally, india is foreign minister, has refused to criticize russia over the war in ukraine. this comes a bit mounting western pressure on new delhi to take fights in the conflicts. the indian official statements was made during a televised interview on his visit to austria, as he pointed to europe's own history of controversial military action. i can reveal many instances of countries who have a while at the sovereignty of another country. you know, if i were to ask where europe stood on, lot of those,

i'm afraid i got alongside much when i was dr. essex j shanker. india's foreign affairs minister showing the mirror to austrian tv host. why there's with it to the european country doctor as j shanker is on a shot to was trying to meet with his counterpart as well as the sign several agreements including that of mobility as well as migration. but these are war in the al, finds itself in the hot seat again. and as nothing new india has been used to best and sanctimonious cocktail or threats pressures, as well as let jose ever since india shows the position of neutrality in russia, ukraine conflict, india. in fact, i have insisted that there should be di, log in negotiations in this situation. can one really urge ukraine to stop defending itself after all down the ukrainian tanks in russia, the arts,

russian tanks and planes and missiles destroying the crew? i think that's a bit of a misrepresentation. i think what we do is to say get back to dialogue and diplomacy. there was a dialogue and diplomacy in the early days of the conflict. so it's not that it didn't happen. so it's not for us to put conditions and to say in this country is equal to that country. you are you that your judgment, but should you urge russia to stop the war? i think we have been very clear that this conflict does not in anybody's interest, including this. but you wouldn't say it more explicitly. i'm a diplomat. it was my job to, to conduct foreign policy, which serves mine, a national interest and reserves. what i believe is a long term part where it would be center deadlock. now india is urging for di login if it finds itself in the dark again. and again perhaps the west is.
