offense, very dramatic development and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time to sit down and talk with the number of russian troops killed in a ukrainian high mas rocky, the city of mckee, of can you done? yes. prizes to 89, the russian defense ministry says that mobile phone signals gave their position away. also this hour with the ship as a group through the late as they're going to hypersonic missile system, which has no analog. but he may pretend, sends off a frigate, armed with nuclear capable hypersonic missiles on combat duty in the atlantic and indian oceans. and became if also expose the french ambassador as anti colonial sentiments, strengthens on the african continent. as people seek to cooperate with countries

other than france, about if the decision is the will of our leaders, then i can say that it's good because what the people don't know are leaders do know they want him to leave due to his actions cutting off relations with france is not a big deal. there are other countries cooperate with or must go to the well, this is all the international. my name is peter scotts, and these the top stories are welcome to the program. we started with the latest on the war in ukraine, where the number of russian soldiers killed in a missile attack in the city of marquis africa has risen to 89, according to russia's defense ministry, who said that ukrainian forces used u. s. supply to high margin rockets, 2 targets russian army positions. ortiz broadcast, dia, possible. the death toll has risen from 63 previously to now. and 89. it is increased as rescue as emergency services. the military cleared away the

rubble of this building that was struck. one minute after midnight on the new year's day, moscow time, the russian military has come out and said that in all 6 high mars rockets were launched at this building, 2 of them were shot down for impacted this building. they compromised the structural integrity of the building. the building collapsed. many of the soldiers who emerged from the rubble who survived the initial attack. they ran back into the damage sections of the building to try and dig out their friends. and many of them were killed again when, when other missiles struck whom we've also learned. the reason the presumable reason for all of this. and that is mobile phones, asana vision, for sure. the main reason for the incident was despite a van,

the turning on and mass use of mobile phones within range of enemy weapons. this fact to allow the enemy to locate and determine the coordinates of mil to personnel location to carry out a missile strike. currently, all necessary measures had been taken to prevent such tragic incidents in the future. russia destroyed the i mas, launch a vehicle that launch these missiles, according to the russian ministry of defense. furthermore, full more high mas launches were destroyed in the 4th. a settlement near by there also for over multiple rocket router systems were destroyed, a ukrainian barracks was struck with 200 casualties. they're nearby and muslim. got another virus was struck, which how foreign prizes together with the ukrainian military. we've seen demons a since a people in samara, which again, is where these mobile as far as i haled from more than 500 people coming out to lay

flowers. what we heard, what they said, isn't that they were broken, but they were upset, is that they were the 5 don't to her. it's very hard, but we can't be broken. we will destroy the enemy together. when we were left with no choice, neither we nor husbands wanted war, but the collective west rallied against us, rallied to destroy us and our children. the mere can you sniffer for me, this is very terrible news, a great loss. a russian person is very significant to me and to every one else. this is a very serious shock, but at the same time we all understand. this is a war and there may be losses. despite all, we must move on to victory. it done what happened should not go unpunished. this incident will forever remain in our hearts, and i am sure that not a single death of our soldiers will be in vain. i get the message that the girl that the russian ministry of defense sent those responsible for this tragedy will

be punished. i've spent more than 6 months on the front lines. we've seen the legs that the russian military goes current to mitigate risks, to minimize risk. and the same is true for, for soldiers who could have get many of them living in buildings together. more than a 100. these missiles that were launched, where a message, because somebody somewhere messed up, and that is what the russian ministry of defense is trying to say that they will get to the bottom of this at the, the offices, the generals, those responsible for, for stationing. so many people together in a single building that they will be identified and they will be punished. or meanwhile, officials in danielle camp confirmed the republic came under heavy ukrainian shelling overnights. at least one casualty has been reported more on this from a canadian journalist who says this civilian areas are being targeted. we are in kit off ski, a western district of the city of done yet skin. in fact,

we're in the very west of kit, off ski, a few kilometers from ukrainian forces. now this house behind me to my left here was shell by ukrainian forces yesterday has been completely destroyed. the neighbors don't want to talk and in my experience when they don't want to speak, it's because they fear appearing on camera and they fear reprisals from ukraine. their house being shelled as a result of them talking to media. what i can say is that this is a completely civilian area. it's a completely residential area. there are no military targets here whatsoever. and this destruction this terror, that the bombings that we hear on going in the background. this is what civilians and the dumbass have been living with since 2014 and 2 people have been reported dead in the city of vassily of her in these upper oars region as ukrainian forces reportedly hits residential buildings. ah, let me putin has attended an online naval ceremony with the admiral gosh,

cove ship entering active combat duty. the frigates is equipped with the latest hypersonic system with the russian presidents pointing out its apparent uniqueness . it will is the ship. the ship is equipped with the latest zurich on hypersonic missile system, which has no analogues. it is all secret with other latest generation weapons, as i said, it has no analogues elsewhere in the world. such powerful weapons will reliably protect russia from potential external threats and it will help to insure the national interest of our country. according to russian defense minister litigate showing grew, the frigates will embark on the long voyage across the atlantic and indian oceans as well as the mediterranean. he also claimed the zurich on hypersonic system is impervious to missile defenses. according to russia's defense minister, this particular missile is capable of flying. it's 9 times the speed of sound. and as a range of, of a 1000 kilometers because of its speed on maneuverability,

they're called missiles, can carry out to pinpoint strikes and easily overcome any defense systems ah, over to africa. now, where burkina faso has expelled the french ambassador amid arising anti french sentiment in the country. local reports have brings us more details above. well, her love is no longer desire. the look you know, fast to the transition or warranty cannot believe that live a lot is constant sending and out against will killer fossil flooring, melissa and lucretia later last month. please, i'm in manuel. my call to ask him to find any representative of his country is looking at 5 different operation. well, this decision, some of us government to cut are popular. she, we've been very excited by this decision. i wouldn't complain if this had been done

even earlier. we are happy when a slender is expelled, such people must be changed the way. so why wasn't he kicked out soon? i was, they want him to leave due to his actions. cutting off relations with france is not a big deal. there. other countries operate with him or not. it's not something that surprises me really regarding the recent ration of relations between france and work and foster, as shown by numerous public demonstrations as pictures by seashells. are not that surprised at all that content. the decision is the will of our leaders. then i can say that it's good because what the people don't know are leaders do know. also, perhaps the ambassador realizes what he did and so do the authorities and they know why they are urging france to recall him. know, official committee from the government a book, you know. so yes, the communication officer, price embassy, is what i contacted to. they said it's local meant to fossil is not challenging, but the person of luke a lot,

but shouldn't worry about variable as a 2nd set of decisions to come. a couple of weeks ago, the us system called meter in fossil was expense. so this is the 2nd romantic major decision from the government of as soon i mean, never seem to love the case in booking up and actually call the win is really indifferent embassies. what google is, they don't know who is the lexus lights? we then we will see what kind of a fosters form on buses just runs, told us that paris must face the new realities in africa before the secret that a lot of it isn't necessary for the actors or french politics to accept that there has been an evolution in the african states, with an increasingly educated you more and more cultured people who need to assert

their autonomy and personality a little more. our french partners must also take this into account. the africans are not naive anymore. they know that russia also defense. it's interesting, it is a g o strategic position to defend, just like france does. what africans are looking for today is a way to effectively strengthen their autonomy from the great powers, but also to be able to acquire many more advantages for their development. last summer rush and journalist daria, do, you know, was killed in a car, bomb attacked him, moscow and f b. i prob points that the finger at the ukranian security service and a former member of the us of the family and is responsible for her son. the nation have denied any involvement in her death. she's donal quarter, picks up the story. august 20th on a night that seems like any other russian journalist aria duke and i was driving home after attending an art festival. somewhere along the way,

an improvised car bombs swiftly brought her brief life to an end ripping her s u v to pieces. ah, it didn't take long for people to realize that this was no accident due gonna was well known in russia. her father, alexander doogan, is also a high profile philosopher. they both supported russia's military operation, opposed the west, and were put on the ukrainian government's hip list mirror, torrance, once russia's federal security service established that duke and was assassinated. moscow denounced her murder as a heinous act of barbarism state's sanctioned murder of an unarmed civilian. so she shook fish regarding whether it was an act of intimidation, where a settling of accounts. i believe that this was a barbaric crime to which there is no forgiveness when him and now, as i understand it,

if his bee has already established the facts which are now being investigated, the prob, i hope, will be completed quickly and based on the results of course, there can be no mercy for their organizers, clients or perpetrators should have new motions with nick equip bush and use a lawyer. so to suit her life was could shorten its prime to time professional activities. the gentleman had long been in the cross as of ukrainian nationalist will be here as a photo of her from the infamous smith, bullets website, which we have repeatedly talked about. they openly flown term meta, as you can see, doubt is photo is crossed out with the inscription, terminating up issue liquid, you know, for the western media part, it just couldn't help but fanned the flames. instead of focusing on the fact that an unarmed civilian was just assassinated, the headlines featured the alleged relationship between duke and his father and vladimir putin. that's despite the fact that they never actually had any official ties. that's what the ukrainian media they went as far as to wish death upon alexander, duke and dugeon, was room with a face, cushions,

propaganda consult. and alexander duke and himself was also supposed to be driving in the blown up car. his daughter was killed in the explosion. the apple fell not far from the tree. she continued her father's work promoting the ideology of the russian world and justifying the war against crane. in general, the earth in which years to this russian. and we hope very soon dab will join her in hell. the f s be eventually put a face to the assassin. 43 year old natalia evolve former member of the neo nazi as off battalion and ukrainian secret service agent. you have s b said she entered russia with the intent to kill stalking. do going to until going in for the kill and bringing her 12 year old daughter along no less have just denied everything. and at 1st, some of the western media play dumb, while others just regurgitated what ukrainian propaganda had to say about it. but after a little while, the new york times released a bombshell article that seemed to confirm the f. s. p conclusions behind closed

doors. washington apparently felt he had gone too far. united states intelligence agencies believe parts of the ukrainian government authorized the car bomb attack near moscow in august the kill. daria took enough american officials have been frustrated with ukraine's lack of transparency about its ministry. and colbert plans, especially on russian soil. 2022 has come to an end. and despite all the evidence pointing to ukraine, you have still flat out denies having any part in daria doing as assassination. one has to wonder, how much longer will the west give key of a free pass to kill with impunity? a fundamentally new level. well, that's how russian energy giant gas problem has described if gas exposed to china in the 1st days of the new year. in 2022 at the request of the chinese side deliveries regularly exceeded the daily contractual amounts and as a result we exceeded our annual obligations. this certainly speaks volumes about

gas prom is a responsible supplier and a reliable partner. it also shows the interest of china, the most promising gas market in russian pipeline gas supplies. russia supplies gas to countries in asia via the power of siberia pipeline, and gas from incense to increase expos to china with more routes planned. and as for their company supplies to europe, while they were stopped last year, because of unseat russian sanctions as well as the explosions which damage the to node stream pipelines in so. so in november gas from reports, it is gas production drops by of 18 percent compared with the same period. last year we spoke to c g tien correspondent, young chin. she who says that in a time of global upheaval, countries align with those who choose cooperation. well, even before 2022, treat and investments in the world have long been plagued by rising trends in protectionism, meaning countries using the, the economy as

a weapon. that's something that's now exacerbated, say, with the particular trade and investment climate that russia is in right now, especially with many of its traditional clients in the west. it is only natural to pivot to countries that are willing to prioritize cooperation and development. take economic relations with china, for example. the country has also been facing its own challenges in terms of increasing western blockade in trade and investment as well. say this naturally pro, prompted china to up in collaboration with the more stable trading partners such as russia from generate to november last year, a bilateral trade volume between the 2 countries reach 1072000000000 us dollars, which was a substantial increase of 32 percent year on year chinese inputs of russian goods rose 48 percent a large part of it energy and chinese export. the russia rose 13 percent consisting of items such as industrial equipment appliances to try to get extra fee to stable relationship between russia and china. serves as a foundation for many longer term collaborations in more strategic areas such as

nuclear, aerospace, rockets and satellite navigation. on the other hand, there are issues to be iron out such as the issue of trade, trade settlement and currently still limited logistic capabilities, especially in terms of rail ah, in other news, 2 car bombs have killed at least 10 civilians and left several houses in ruin. in somalia, the sub millison group has claimed responsibility for the start the explosions wrote to the town of mos in the country, central iran region. the bombs damaged the house of a federal lawmaker on a district commissioner, the al qaeda, linked medicine groups, insurgency, against the somali government dates, but as far as 2007, well, it's that is, goes this. those costs live now to a senior researcher at the institute for security studies in south africa marketing agreements. and thanks for joining us this evening. now it looks like we've seen

a been an intensification of our bubbs sivitz the in the region. would you agree with that? yes indeed, there is certainly increase in violence, and i believe this is part of the struggle that began last year. we actually struggled over the tongue of sher bella, when to fighting. actually for, for can true. you will record at the time of the which was recapture last year was really strategic town for i shabba and you know that the control of cities is extremely or the control of town, sorry, villages or whatever territory to do control is extremely important for us because that's where the race resources, that's where they have safe havens. and that's where the plan attacks. so the fact

that last december, the with some good progress made by the summer league government backed by the african union. and of course the u. s. government made progress in terms of recapturing some strategy, towns and villages for molly control by ash about. so i believe that she is trying to put pressure on the government to take back this very strategy, towns in central somalia, which gives us our back strategic strategic position to be able to she countries like e t o p i especially. and what response do you think we can expect to see from the somali government? do you think they would need more international support to deal with this issue? the well, they've always needed more international support. but i don't think that's, that's the most important thing that this summer league government needs. i for one

believe that, you know, our shops trends actually depends on the weaknesses of the summer league government . and we've seen that the summer league government for years has not been able to bridge the gap in terms of its strength to be able to combat ash about i believe that weak government produce strong terrorist groups and strong terrorist groups produce weak government. and i think this is the phenomenon we've seen in somalia. it's not what there's some of the government should actually depend on its own look of support. and i believe that the ultimate defeat against ash above will depend on the strength of the look of support in somalia, not the strength of foreign support from america. and the african union, which has already been providing via support for the government to be able to find a group. but what we need now is that's vital cost support, which will be able to cover

a lot of the areas and bring out those that are hiding into bush local support in what form from the community the in somalia. how will the government that strengthen his position against these militants? indeed, indeed look our support. if you look at the written victories that the celebrated in september in december last year was actually due to increase look of support the plans that's actually allied with the government forces backed by the african union and u. s. government. that support was critical thing. it was that support that was able to take the u. u. s. forces to where they needed to be in order to recapture this very strategy trans. and i think that's the support that they need. all of us somalia, especially in strategic areas which are been controlled by ash about, it's no longer deforming support that they already have from the african union,

and the u. s. government, what they need is indeed that increased look our support on the ground. well it's of the government can get that local support and help bring more stability to the region. martini, we are senior research at the institute for security studies in south africa. thank you very much for your time today. thank you very much. it's a pleasure. well, israel's newly appointed at foreign minister, eli cohen is already feeling the heat. a flurry of condemnations has hit jerusalem after koans inaugural speech in which he promised to quote, talk less about the ukraine. conflicts of the correspondence. maria phenomena brings more details with a new government here in israel. now making its 1st stabs the world is watching closely and following carefully everything that's being said on trying to guess where the country will go under the new leadership. and they have already been some strong criticism from outside for what for israel's policy on ukraine, and it stands on russia special mil to operation. they haven't all the words and

reactions in the last 3 days showing just how highly sensitive this matter is. first on monday he's inaugural speech. his roles, new forum minutes. the coin said that the country knew government would talk less about it in public indicated israel would try to avoid waiting into the war in ukraine. the next phase rose tall diplomat had a phone conversation with his russian counterpart said a lot of the 1st such talk since the war in ukraine started and it immediately sparked criticism and condemnation from kiev. not surprisingly, ukraine saw it as a proof of changes in his rose stents on war, but then a strong disapproval came from the drills, close ally, washington, and us senator. one of the republican party's pho most talks and pro israel advocate scene as close to these rarely new prime minister benjamin netanyahu called israel's decision to stay quiet on ukraine. unnerving. i'm glad to see mr.

cole, when the news rarely foreign minister is prioritize in the us. israeli strategic relationship and support continue humanitarian a to ukraine. however, the idea that israel should speak less about russia criminal invasion of ukraine is a bit unnerving. the same senator graham was the one who last february, strongly criticized israel for not selling weapons for ukraine form israeli prime. it is still a p repeatedly spoke out against russia can damage more. so open the actively and publicly accused and his forces of committing war crimes in ukraine, but he rejected numerous ukraine and request for arms reports also say that early december and then yahoo and a phone conversation ask to coordinate president zalinski to vote against the un general assembly resolution that call on the international court of justice to give a legal opinion on israel's occupation of the palestinian territories before ukraine had already voted in favor of this resolution that andrew selling was very

upset saying that supporting antique railey initiative in the un will not how build trust and good relations between the 2 countries. so allegedly lensky in return ask nathan yahoo to provide ukraine with air defense systems against russian attacks were the not, no, wasn't the now who's on so was, but we do know that ukraine eventually did not attend the un general assembly vote on the resolution that by the way at the end of the day was adopted. so it's not clear right now how these reli policy on ukraine will change underneath and yahoo or will a change at all. but what we do know already that american others will always be there watching and commenting, and maybe criticizing us how the world is looking at 5 26 pm this wednesday. moscow time for all the latest updates for news. do check out our website odyssey dot com or telecom channel. in the meantime, we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. thanks to watch. mm hm.
