luisel with the party you received. exclusive footage from the dunbar, city of select, are where the russian private military groups, wagner said it has secured the urea. walter coming up, the voices in israel lives in protesting benjamin netanyahu. new cabinet calling at the most extreme government that ever existed there. it's a decade since the much vaunted french military operation began in molly, what concerns continue to bring failure to address the core of political problems that brought chaos to the west?

the across the globe. i run the clock, this is the welcome to the news our i'm you know, neil, there's a new commander in charge of rushes, military operation in ukraine and on boss. the role is now in the hands of general valerie girls, some of the previous leader of the operations are, again, serv. beacon has been assigned us girl some offs. deputy earlier the nie a former chiefs efforts were recognized by president burton, who awarded him the order of saint george rushes, highest military decoration rushes defense ministry said it's given the role of commander directly to its chief of staff, of the wide scale of the current operation. needs improved coordination between the different branches of the military until the dunbar frontline swear, the russian private military company wagner says it's completely taken. the

strategic city of solid are under its control. the area is crucial for control in the done yet for public, and has been the scene of intense fighting with ukrainian forces who are mixed in with numerous western mercenary factions. this exclusive footage shows the wagner groups heads and members inspecting an underground mine not was previously used by key f trips to store weapons. the company's chief has no confirm that the city is fully under russian control. he said civilians that were in the conflict zone have been evacuated and that had run $500.00 ukrainian soldiers had been killed during the recent offensive. yes, skinny goshen also symbolically brought salt to the mine where he was apparently mocking western media outlets who claims that he's got business interests in the city who will go away so that there would be no rumors spread in the yes that we are fighting for sort half some you quit insult with me. leave it to solid are off

to we go through it rushes. defense ministry has also commented on the situation in solider. others in any of those li, just not russian airborne troops blocked salvador from the northern and southern parts of the city. and the air force struck enemy strongholds, assault units are now fighting in the city. good old boy, water. well, let's show you why. solider is a strategically important location, gaining control over it effectively paves the way for russian forces to press key f trips to flee. that major city of archibald stay at vital transportation hub in this region with a network of at roads unreal, is used as supply routes. the head of the dynette republic said that after solar jar, russia's military will be able to move towards another key city up here said verse . then further westwards, the cities of cromwell tourist and slavic danced would theoretically be next in

line. in an interview with arti, the done? yes, we're public, sleeter, denise pu shalon emphasized that solid door has been a crucial juncture for the russian offensive. this was admitted to greece. could there zelinski uses some kind of anti crisis when the situation gets hot with weather we saw how solid our did not leave the news pages some days before. ukrainian propaganda tends to turn cities into symbols. we saw with mary opal with as of stock symbol. we now see formation of the symbol supported by all ukrainian media about our tool mosque, a symbol of invincibility of no surrender. the same was said of solid, our lives with the liberation of solid. are we prepare for the liberation of the de nets people's republic. hello, we see that now the situation has changed, and russian troops have taken the initiative. the west had the goal to provoke war and pursued it without any regard to the minsk agreements or the un security council resolutions. the west continued to pump weapons into crain that use the

time of negotiations to strengthen the key of regime. and sooner rather than later, the line would be crossed and the west would try to deteriorate the situation and to determine the outcome of the conflict in dumbass militarily. in fact, that was the reason to start the special military operation. but the 2 of them were artesia, mancha austria is in the done yet republic. cassie has been for some time and recaps for us now they strategic significance of solider. well then asked and sir regards to salazar came late on the tuesday evening with 1st received the news that the fighters of the wagner group are now in control of the sensor of the city. later we got news from a precaution getting forgotten or cell. the head of the whiteness group that's in his units are now in full control of the city. not only that on roads to retreat for ukrainians are under artillery control of the wagner group as well. at

the moment, the clearing operation is underway in the city where the soldiers are going from a house to house, looking for the remaining ukrainian soldiers there. according to their wagner group, for a small number of ukrainian soldiers are now hold up and are in a cold room in the center of the city. and we are waiting for the news where the city has been completely freed from ukrainian and national is now the city of salazar is a certainly very strategic, very important for the nest people's republic. now it houses one of the largest solar winds in europe, and i previously also stationed one of the largest ammunition to peoples in east or europe as well. but so more than that, the city is strategic for the remainder of russian forces. as by taking it, it now paved the way to the city of thomas,

which ukraine had renamed as bach board, when it's overtook of the city, back in 2014. and jo, once that operation is complete, the russian forces can move to other heavily fortified. the cities of us lions and from a source of course that is all for major importance as well because the heavier fighting was taking place there back in it's when t 14 as well as there are many, many people that left those area, many refugees and of course are all waiting to get home as soon as possible. speaking to the program earlier, a former united nations weapons inspector scott ritter said he believes the takeover of sola dar paves the way for russia to move on to our tim ups. and then advance further. let's put it this way of so dar hadn't fallen, but in the ukrainian defences that they have been building up for over 8 years from

2014 to 2022. i would still be intact and that would complicate extraordinarily, any russian offensive that has been planned. when the remaining 82550000 of mobilized troops, finally appear on the battlefield. it with the follow solid are of the russians have put at risk of the ukrainian positions in bar moot. the, the fact is that the defense of this area is going to become untenable and or rather than risk and even larger cauldron, the ukraine's will have no choice but to withdraw and see, create a new defensive bill and further to the west. the capture of sola dar, the eventual capture of bach mood. the piercing of the ukrainian defences is an essential precondition for any follow on russian offensive operation. so this is a, this is a battle of tremendous significance in tremendous consequence. for both sides

turning attention to the middle east, protests against the newly formed israeli government headed by benjamin netanyahu showed no signs of relenting, adding fuel to the discontent was this statement by a law maker from the prime minister's party. i do not feel the need to justify myself, preferring jews to our roads in the state of jews. yes, i am a tb. this is a state of jews. i prefer jewish murderers over our murderers. and in general, in the state of jews, i preferred jews over disloyal arabs. it hasn't been evelyn months since benjamin netanyahu swore, named as the leader always rose new government. and the situation here on the ground seems to be boiling already with frustration, disappointment, and criticism coming from various parts of the society regarding the palestinian affairs. of course we hear more and more radical statements from different politicians open coals for violence and sometimes even what could be considered as

justification of the killings. and we also see various provocative actions. like when the country's new national security minister visits alex and most they hold this place for almost and that anger is certainly palace. peanut is a lot, but it seems not only them former member of the canal said tase rarely parliament ex army chief of staff called on to see for a large scale nationals said one rising to protest against his anything, yahoo governments moves particular in regards to given even more benefits and advantages to the countries grow in religious population. that ease already largely supported by the state, financial and socially. let's take a listen. ladies and gentlemen, against the malicious and evil government, there is only one way a large scale civil uprising, destruction of the justice system. unlimited political appointments, permission for the ultra orthodox to do whatever they want with our tax money. why would we agree? why would we accept this on our heads on our pockets on our lives?

we will never agree. after an extreme anti zionist ultra orthodox jewish sac that opposes the state of israel visited the camp of janine and an awful, notified westbank. as they stated to show solidarity with palestinians against israelis, the countries knew national security minister threatened to deport them to syria. their peaceful demonstration just last december was brutally dispersed by the country's police so teams, israel's new government that has been already called the most far right in the country's history so far. failing to ring harmony and peace to the society. but it's quite successful in fueling the existing problems or in terms of reaction member of these really parliament offer cassette from the left wing had dash party told r t. then you government's actions will only feel further unrest whenever the government to switch those. ready a port is going to go stronger and bigger. we're,

we've always said that the s o l itself does not democracy, but not see. because the state acts a born a supremacy a jewish supremacy, a policy a ever since the state was established. we do support the existence of the state, but not in such a way of these. now let alone the wave goes on because it discriminates against the palestinian minority within israel. and of course it, but a senior under luca, patient in the west bank and his jerusalem and under the siege in god. this is just, this is what i'm doing is i want to emphasize, boy, god is lane, i'm the beast, government, and i'm in as long as the occupation both on eventually this is a real, this will be it will not only for the palestinians, but for us the same as when the government plan is against the state

another deadly day and couple at least 20 people are reported to have been killed and dozens more wounded following an explosion in afghanistan capital on wednesday, the local offshoot of isis, known as islamic state, chorus son, province claimed it carried out the attack in a post on telegram. local journalist news, been my white, sent us this report from the ground a warning mir. find some images in it, disturbing, endless, or some bad decisions at the house. there was a huge explosion at the foreign ministry gate and cobble, according to eye witnesses at least 20 people were killed while dozens were injured . saucy. say that there were talks between the chinese delegation and the a slam it government officials inside the ministry. meanwhile, the ministry of the interior has issued a statement less than one while the cobbled administration has confirmed the attack . but neither have issued the details of the dead and injured young, but we will let you know when the issue, the figures officially. if we tried hard to approach the scene and take images, but taliban officials did not allow us despite our efforts and request that this is

the 2nd blast in a sensitive and heidi secured area. in recent days, recently there was a blast at the military air base and isis claim responsibility. people are raising questions about security arrangements and terrorist succeeding in their tax map up a decade on from france, beginning its empty in search and operation in the west african nation of molly. there are rising concerns about the lingering french military present in the region and made plains paris as fail to accomplish its intended purpose. ortiz africa, corresponding collabo let. santa picks up the story from their concerns would be justified. really, when you look at the origins of french military involvement, particularly in this conflicts hit the areas the aim of operations about was actually launched by for my friends president, president land as a, as a response to a request that was made by molly and the un resolution called 2085,

which was meant to stabilize the reason this operation quickly became a nun event as a france insisted on securing rather the region and not just looking at molly. but beyond that, looking at molly. booking a puzzle, as well as the head and 18 months into operations of al, it was phased out with a much larger ambition. that of operation by con operation. but con was meant to own, not only a support rather push back the terrorist action that we had seen from miley that had spread into beginner fossil and neighboring j. but it was also meant to train some of the local militaries there and make sure that they're capable of defending and pushing back some of these terrors groups. and these terrorist groups are very and they are many. and they include the affiliates of al qaeda. now it's

very difficult to look back on the exit of some of the large majority of french ah contingent there that we have seen it from last year. and consider this any other thing except a colossal failure on the part of france. and it was also becoming clear, i think, given to france as well, that it was going to be impossible to win in any meaningful way. the war that he had had basically pursued on this i held region 10 years on the region is small conflict thrown. it is red hot with violence and incidents go as far as from 2500 being recorded annually in 3 of these countries. now france of course, was never going to admit that it was unable to secure the borders of its former

colony and that it was going to win this war. now this mission that, that replaced operation, a subaru operation, but con daddy's, it was also populated by not just the french army though. it was also members of the e. you states, as well as the americans that have now with tails between their legs turned bag and have left, you know, the region as volatile and it's open to insurgency. the same thing. they said they were there to protect against. and it really, you know, gives room if you will, for more insurgent activity in that region. now these countries, while all visibly seeing the pot that was not played by france, the inequities of its military and its inability to really secure the region. and they started one at a time, looking eastwards and looking towards russia as they are preferred to cooperation

for military partnership. and to deal with some of the insurgency that we have seen there. now it goes without saying that the you end remains concerned about the rising levels of violence, particularly violence that has been met it against civilians. and also the amount of of displace people that we have seen in the region. and the ensuing best western countries led by the us of, clashed with the russian delegation during a tense, un security council meeting. washington accused moscow of robbing africa of its resources, and causing the growth of violent extremism in the south region. russia dismissed the allocation saying they make a mockery of common sense. some delegation sat again today that russia allegedly ropes, africa, its resources all facilitates the growth of terrorist threats in that part of the

world. however, when reality, this is something that countries who made such remarks to day do across the globe include in in africa. they wanted to plan to lay biz resources so badly that they didn't hesitate to destroy the country and destabilize the entire sa hail. so when accused in russia, they simply ma common sense and the ability of african states to assess adequately the true cases of their outstanding problems and to choose whom to cooperate with. or russia is seen as an important partner by a number of african countries in the vast sa hell region, including molly, i'm nigeria. both nations have security and military cooperation. agreements with moscow. russia says it's rule is to help maintain peace and security and to defend the principle of, quote, african solutions to african problems. while african problems, including poverty, violence and conflict are believed to be at least part the a legacy of the continence colonial ballast,

western m. r. a bowers such as britain, france, portugal, spain, oh, man, on. so d, rubia, controlled and exploited african resources during the rule. according to geo political analyst, joe and sang, the russian presence in africa has been welcomed. it's not, it's not something that is new. the western government or the western partners are not so used into russia. they know i shall be, should be pushing everything that they do with the whole entire thing that you're trying to do right now is to again, to create the brush up being the human. it's doing phone part of the same debt that was been type, not doing you create it, shifting the improvement in africa, but he's on time. why doesn't mind shipping the gold plus now in the media? it's simply because they do it. they losing that they all in france. we have seen

a lot of been known in africa and since most of the protest mesh and flag because they understand that russia will come in only when you invite them to write something else to tell you by today the u. s. has been slow by some of its allies across the atlantic for offering subsidies to european businesses that relocate to the u. s. belgium accuse washington of launching a quote, aggressive campaign to lower company states side by promising support under the u. s. inflation reduction act. the u. s, our partner, they call our industry and they tell them why are you investing in europe? you should come over to the us colon german firms and belgian firms in a very aggressive way. don't invest in europe. we have something better. the belgium prime minister, alexander de crew, is essentially accusing the u. s. of predatory practices toward european businesses

struggling with high energy costs. under the use pro ukraine policy of trying to run european industry with as little energy as possible in order to stick it to russian president vladimir putin. these european businesses are at the mercy of the e u, which isn't placing their interest 1st because it's obsessed with what's going on in ukraine and helping ukraine. so what the crew is saying now is that the u. s. is literally picking up the phone and trying to seduce these european companies to leave the you with cold hard cash benefits to cru, told the financial times that the americans, quote, used the inflation reduction act in a very aggressive way to attract investment. you could say it's fair game, but then you shouldn't say, oh, we forgot about the impact on europe. i mean, i think they were very well aware of the impact that it could have. yeah, so this might, an administration lies branded is both a way to reduce the impact of inflation on americans. and also as

a means of fighting climate change. because, you know, he'd have to be a pretty bad person to object to a law that fights inflation and climate change, right? but ultimately it's made in america law that lock so european parts and items for things like electric cars. it also incentivizes companies that move to and invest in america, which is pretty much an easy sell these days, given the fact that they actually have energy in the us because they haven't cut off their top gas supplier like europe did with russia, french president, a menu and michael made a trip to. ringback washington late last year to remind biden that europe is supposed to be a friend, and that the inflation reduction act hardly treats it like one a sentiment echoed by european commission president ursula of underline. the official reduction act can also create distortion by, for example, privileging u. s. firms. it is the by american logic that underpins part of the

irish. it is tax breaks that could lead to discrimination and it is production subsidies that could discriminate european companies, mitchell to dish will fit the choices, made the objectives, which i share, especially the inflation reduction act or choices that will fragment the west because they create such differences between the united states of america and europe, the all those that work in many companies in the us, they will just think, we don't make investments anymore on the other side of the atlantic. and these choices can only work if there is a coordination between a school. if we decide together if we re synchronize. so this is crucial surgery, mac hauls trip to washington biden acknowledged that there were, quote, glitches in the new law. and he said that quote, i never intended to exclude folks who were cooperating with us. that was not the intention. we're back in business, europe, spec and business. and we are going to continue to create manufacturing jobs in

america, but not at the expense of europe. so there is this huge sigh of relief in europe. at that point, there may be a trade war had been averted, but now the reality is setting in here in europe that the u. s. really isn't keen on treating european products the same as made in america. products and is continuing to exploit the energy crisis here in europe to pursue european companies to americans benefit. not sure why the e u is so surprised. frankly, since for years washington has been using its own anti corruption laws, for example, to selectively target european companies and even managing to parlay threats of criminal prosecution into convenient american bios. it's basically washington b. washington, as usual in advancing its agenda with this inflation reduction act these of a europe. meanwhile, europe naively continues to pretend that washington isn't an economic competitor.

the license of an indian pharmaceutical company at the center of a scandal over cough syrup link. that's in news becca. stem has been suspended. that's after the firm fail to respond to a notice issued by the router pradesh, food safety, undrugged, administration, department. morien biotech has been ordered to cease operations until further notice. those ortiz region sharma, talks us through the author for the state government in india has suspended the production license or farmer company morrison biotech. after it failed to reply to was sure caused orders, which are sent to them. remember, the company has been under scanner ever since. it was linked to the death over on 18 children in it was big as stand. the matter came to light on a 28th of december, after which the drug regulated in india had inspected the unit. they completely

halted the production as their, as well as collected control samples to look for any possible contamination as claimed by it was spake, as don, all saw the pharmaceutical export from washing councell of india, a suspended at the membership of and maris and biotech. and now remember, india is known as the pharmacy, off the wall, and then the last decade or saw as though pharmaceutical exports have more than doubled. and the, the new was off was baker's thought, as well as a gamble. remember where the world health organization blamed an indian made golf sit up for the death of for 70 children. and that has sort of den, did the image or for the industry and india, a hero with all the suspensions and inspections. remember, these inspections are carried out, not just in the far my units that are under question here. a bar to are these

inspections by the drug regulators in india are being carried out all through the length and breadth of india. a no pharmaceutical companies, a both big an a small india is afford to, in a sense, reassure the world that it does care about our processes and quality and that it will not compromise with that. just before we go, another story to update you on a huge fire that broke out into the chemical plant in the u. s. that of illinois is now under control. according to the local fire chief local media and reported, some explosion had been heard as the fire spread on wednesday morning. emergency services say the blaze has not been contains and no casualties were reported. according to officials, those living nearby are not at risk, but have been advised to shelter and place stopped order remains for no workers

take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with oh, is your media reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere direct? what is true? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to descend.
