says, western actions are provoking a larger scale conflict in the re good americans live policies. that's how one states senator labeled washington's decision to send ukrainian soldiers to oklahoma for training to use the patriot missile system. a peruvian attorney general launch is an inquiry to identify those responsible for $47.00 deaths since december during protest and support of the ousted president. ah, good afternoon for mark. international students must come from or every year catching us. welcome to the hour's top stories from all around the globe. i'm fiorella is about start with the latest news on the conflict in ukraine,

according to the mayor of kiev critical infrastructure objects have been hit in the countries capital. ukrainian media sources have also reported explosions in har. cough where the metro has now stopped and parts of the city are without power. moscow has not yet commented on any of the legit strikes. meanwhile, over 170 civilians had been evacuated from the city of sola dar, in the don. yes, republic, which russian forces fully secured over the last 24 hours that's according to local officials, all those evacuated among them, children and the elderly have been provided with food and shelter and are receiving medical aid. on friday, the russian defense ministry confirm moscow had taken full control of solid r, a city viewed as strategic as it could pave the way to the nearby city of audio mobs or back moot, a key regional transportation hub. our teaser oman calls that have sent us an exclusive report from a refugee center with people sharing what they had been through during fighting in

the area. russian military group, o wagner have evacuated at least $200.00 a residence. uh huh. jo most and us solids are they arrived here short shores in temporary, richie, he said, you're now the stories they've told me or absolutely horrifying for which need your money rewarded. ukrainian armed forces used as a human shield. his life was unbearable because we haven't left our basements at all since last winter. ukrainian fighter settled next to us decked trenches in front of residential buildings. constantly ask questions about why was state. if you had told us, like you say you're waiting, you're sending gordon us to the russians from blue class. there is and is showing today, but where they live, for example, we'll just throw a grenade into you because it will mean you gave us away. oh, just that it was very scary. the ukrainian forces were shooting calling. suddenly our house alone was shout 7 times and it was completely destroyed when we left,

but it was already bending down. this is my husband. he was shot by ukrainian for to right now. house for no reason, my husband shouted that he was a civilian, asked them walter doing thought, and the cronyn fight to just run away without providing any help. i can understand why they treat us like this anymore. i really don't know. they couldn't leave the basement for months in the house if they just kept shoot to natasha. it was terrifying of all about what's to refugees, arrive at these temporary sensors. they're getting a fed that they receive the necessary clothing. and afterwards, they're taken to the local police station where a local officials are making sure that there aren't any ukrainian military among lisa refugees. following that procedure, they're all taken to on the refugee centers. and as i understand that the majority of these people have expressed wishes to join their relatives in russia from on call for a warranty. don't ask republic rush as reiterated. it's pushed for

a peaceful solution to the ukraine conflict. but as warned that it's prepared to continue military operations unless key evidence western backers agree to negotiate on moscow's terms that comes from the country's envoy to the you and speaking at the latest security council meeting with more details. here's ortiz kellum up in well, at the un security council hour, we heard different members of the un security council speak regarding the situation in ukraine. now we specifically heard 1st from the united states, they were the 1st prominent member of the un security council to speak. and when they spoke, they did what they've been doing for the past several years, unloaded a huge amount of unproven allegations against russia using russia, all kinds of crimes. and then from there they proceeded to call out to you, ron, and the democratic people's republic of korea for allegedly helping russia in ukraine. and from there we heard from other members of the un security council now

in china took to the floor of the security council. they pointed out that the ongoing situation where the western countries continue to poor loads of weapons and to kia and prolong the conflict is leading to a security crisis throughout the region. would ensure some view to escalate in sanctions or providing weapons full only make it difficult to turn the situation around and even to provoke large scale confrontation thus exhaustive aiden and prolong. in the conflict which must be avoided at all costs. we also later heard from the russian ambassador ben z a took to the floor and he took the moments on the opportunity to really just kind of lay out the reputation of what's being said there. he pointed out that in reality, this is a conflict that's been going on for 8 years for 8 years, the shelling of civilians in don boss was taking place. now know that the minsk

agreement was not taken seriously by the western countries. it was simply seen as a way of buying time and idling weapons into ukraine to prepare for provoking a wider conflict on the russian ambassador took to the floor and simply called out what he was hearing lenses of the new bull green to was the meetings on ukraine convened by our former western partners are more like a pa chrissy fair. moreover, the hypocrisy of representatives of the collective west and the key regime takes on bizarre forms here. for example, our ukranian neighbors, who recently were almost talking about preparing to attack moscow are now running around with the idea of a peace summit. it is clear that this is primarily an attempt to please the western public who are asking increasingly uncomfortable questions about where all the money allocated to key of is going to. and he pointed out that these, these calls for some kind of piece summit round the ukrainians are not, it's not legitimate, they're not honest,

they're not serious. they're not putting forward a serious proposal could actually lead to an agreement and the conflict. they're simply, they are simply doing this theatrically do but answer a number of questions and responding to the growing amount of public disgust with the conflict happening not just in the united states than other western countries. now it's important to note jazzy russian ambassador did mention of next un security council meeting is scheduled for tuesday of the following week or next tuesday. there will be a meeting i am russia will be raising some very important issues. they're trying to point out many aspects of the ongoing conflict that western media and mainstream media has just chosen to obscure and ignore. and while russia pushes for negotiations, a state senator says the u. s. government is putting america last on its priority list with plans to train ukrainian soldiers to operate the patriot missile system in oklahoma. the official said the training post

a risk siding last year's incident of a ukrainian rocket landing and poland killing 2 civilians. the pentagon is planning on sending ukrainian troops to oklahoma to train on u. s. missile systems. the last thing we need is the misfiring a missile into oklahoma, killing our citizens like they did to the innocent polish lives that were lost. now senator nathan dom has filed a resolution that would block federal officials from sending foreign troops, oklahoma, encouraging local authorities to do everything in their power to keep them off state land. the politician also head out at washington's continued funding of stressing, oklahoma should not continue to allow an accountable spending corruption and potential money laundering. the resolution echo similar sentiments already expressed by some republicans. multiple members of the u. s. congress have called for an audit of u. s. government funds allocated for a to crate in november last year, and newly elected speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy reportedly pledged to limit

the future economic and military a crane in order to secure a majority of the votes. at his 15th attempts, international attorney klein pressed them, says having ukrainian troops on us soil could pose a risk for locals. we have no business being involved to this degree, or at all, frankly, in, in ukraine and the cost to americans, civilians and american citizens can be great. particularly if this conflict becomes a hot conflict between on russia in the united states. you know, maybe sen dobbs resolution would have gotten more support to you just put in the resolution that oklahoma refuses to support nazi's. ah, you know this regime, these are battalion people the right sector and all the ben dera on hold over. so

that are in ukraine. today, you know, ironically our support for them is, is really of a disgrace. let's face ukraine is most corrupt regime in europe today, and it has been prolonged. there's no democracy there and they're looking for any way because they're desperate to my view is very dangerous to have them on us soil training on in oklahoma. and i think my sen, nathan dom, was correcting his very bold resolution that he proposed the u. s. will continue to modernize its military alliance with japan. that statement came from president biden, during a meeting with his japanese counterpart. the japanese prime minister visited washington in the last stop on his g 7 tore, seeking to strengthen the alliance amid elected challenges, posed by china and north korea and russia. mutual concerns between the 2 countries

prompted biting to support tokyo's decision to increase defense spending approved by japan's new security strategy. this goes against the japanese constitution earlier, both the u. s. defense secretary and secretary of states that that washington is ready to commit to the full defense of japan by any means including nuclear weapons . and i want to reaffirm the united states are inquired, commitment to defend japan with the full range of capabilities including nuclear and underscore that article 5 of the mutual security treaty applies to the st cock, who island. it is hard to overstate the importance of the us. japan alliance for more than 7 decades is from the cornerstone pieces stability and you know, pacific ensuring security the liberty to prosperity of our people and people across

the region. the u. s. secretary of state claim says country has been a forest for peace in the region, seemingly forgetting washington's use of atomic bombs on the japanese that he's of hiroshima and nagasaki at the end of the 2nd world war, killing hundreds of thousands and maybe many more. washington failed to apologize for the atrocities committed nearly 80 years ago. when we spoke to the vice president of the center for china and globalization, victor gao who says that re arming japan poses a danger to countries in the region. particularly when talk of nuclear weapons is involved it will be completely wrong for the dotted states to try to re lease the potential aggressive things, things of japan, which will be a curse to many countries in the asian pacific region. i would urge secretary law in austin to be very cautious when he uses any words

involving a nuclear weapons. it is absolutely wrong for a big country like the united states. talk about nuclear weapons, all using nuclear weapons against any country in the world. mankind does not need to have another nuclear. the united states used a nuclear bombs to bomb here. and i guess in 1945 and they have lots of contamination about the u. s. decision to use nuclear weapons, as well as the very end of the 2nd world war global south countries need a new type of globalization based on a quality that's a call from india's prime minister made during a 2 day international online summit with over 120 nations in attendance, we bought a global, i isn't that big rust,

but it be and veg being denied a d as a whole. in char, we won't. i who once sent the global asian india host at a 2 day virtual global south summit focused on advancing solutions. the challenges that developing nations may face issues such as food security, energy supplies, and economic growth were among those on the agenda. the indian prime minister also announced plans to unite the global south humanitarian efforts to combat the effects from natural disasters and other crises. and is growing economy has resulted in growing imports, particularly from china, with trade between the countries reaching and all time highs and 2022 surpassing 100. 35000000000 dollars and 8.4 percent rise from the previous year. earlier. my colleague, peter scott, got insights into this booth from an indian business man. i think go to china is

being able to make do right. so a challenge is reach on north availability, the rest of the what number to the one you love requirements which i've done pull up. the weather is medical equipment, but it is interesting. i think one of the country is yet able to provide the necessary ingredients that we need for office 3. the requirements in terms of needs of our country is growing. we're growing the g d p are 6 percent and a large amount of is of a number to other countries. ringback in the world are not able to meet with the supplies euro on the countries of the was which on even germany, which was supplying when you are as being unable to meet those products. at the price point, join a snow green tree over to new delhi important, you know, even more goods from china last year. not only 100, some say that this is

a positive indicator of the indian economy, that it can afford to import these goods from china. but they're all this. they're concerned about india's dependence on china for some key goods. when you stunned on that issue, india wants to reduce is dependent on a lot. so items are now being supported. whole manufactory by the central government and a lot of incentives have be now under the p allies key in india for more manufacturing to be done. but did stick dying before we can set up these manufacturing units and be able to compete with china. china now? well, various reasons are continue to have to be in position because the rest of the was not able to make the supplies to the extent that they would desire to buy from other countries of the what india is also exports to china when it's more

agriculture or products or chemicals that related petroleum products. so all of these items are growing by going to china. but the trade on the export side to china, and remain stagnant, that little less than $100000000.00. and i do believe that the exports will rise to a palestinian man has been killed by israeli forces during a rate in a refugee camp north of jerusalem. the idea of says a arrested 6 wanted palestinians and seized a legal fire arms, but were attacked by suspects. hurling stones and cinder blocks from rooftops, according to officials. the lives of the troops are endangered though they responded with live fire. the palestinian authority health ministry said the 41 year old man was shot in the chest and declared dead at a nearby medical center. ah,

the whole i so my son being killed and i became unconscious. they shot to me and he was wounded in the hot, even though they knew who he was. ah, a bullets were being fired randomly at us. i went out to ask for an ambulance, but the army did not allow me to. we could not help him because the army rated all corners of the house. they shot him and made him die deliberately or thousands of supporters of former peruvian president, peddler kasteel,

have marched in lima overnight. protest had been raging since december when pedro castillo was impeached over corruption allegation and arrest that after he had sent it to dissolve congress to avoid impeachment by president dean, a bold art. i was then appointed as a country's leader. since protests began, 47 people have been killed reportedly by state sanctioned police and military violence in response, peruse, attorney general has now launched an inquiry to identified those responsible for the civilian deaths. ah, oh. mm hm. ah,

at least 10000 people are right now at the manifestation a lima on the small group united in made a b 2 big ones. one is back at the center of lima, and right now this one is moving towards the most privilege and reach the streets of lima. that the month are quite clear. they want the not to be out of the government. they want the dictatorship to and, and they also fight the congress along with the executive power of all the killing of people who are actually exercising their right to protest. not just the lima but everyone. a thousands of people have now read. and again, if you need me to florida, what is? yeah, one of the most liberal it this victim, lima. as you can see,

nathan has grown so much from the last feeling that this is not people who are morgan. i spoke with lima one right now with one of the other things that they're very necessary right now is that after the, you know, a lot of it goes away. we get a new presidency of the congress of the republic to call for a new democratic general election team. but with the u. k. should get rid of its colonial mindset. that's the message from china's foreign ministry, which lashed out london's recent report criticizing beijing policy on hong kong. so not like regular hong kong has long been returned to china and hong kong affairs

are purely the internal affairs of china, which allow no room for foreign interference. we urge the u. k. to recognize reality trend, let go of its colonial mindset and respect china sovereignty and unity u. k. government report claims freedoms are being a, wrote it by the chinese government. and hong kong, alleging authority systematically cracked down on free speech. hong kong was handed over to china by the u. k. back in 1997. the city was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy and freedom of speech under a principle of one country to systems. then and 2020 being imposed a national security law to punish terrorism, prison and subversion which has been met with criticism from the west. with that in mind to human rights watch is now sounding the alarm over violations in the u. k. itself. in 2022, we saw the most significant source on human rights protections in the u. k. in

decades. from your right to protest, your ability to hold institutions accountable from the mental and hard one rights of being systematically dismantled. the report highlighted several new laws introduced in 2022 that week and human rights protections in the u. k. for example, some measure strip the rights of asylum seekers and other vulnerable groups, while others limited judicial oversight and restricted the freedom to peaceful protest. political analysts, alexander mckay says human rights rhetoric is just a tool of british propaganda. while the country doesn't actually apply such standards to itself, because the a good old fashioned british standard when it comes to human rights is never applied to yourself. that which you seem to apply to your enemy. and the doctrine of human rights, particularly human rights, as applied to the international relations arena, is always a one that is only going one way when it comes to the standard supply from the

british government. the british government is still somewhat so we say, saw having to give up hong kong all the way back in 1997 with the disturbances in hong kong, which the chinese authorities blamed on outside interference from united states and britain with a degree of justification. human rights is just a, a language, it's a p, it's a piece of branding. it's a piece of propaganda that we never apply in britain. the british government never applies it to the relationships they have in the world. the human rights concern evaporates light water on a frying pan whenever there's a few pounds of steak. and that's a rap on this hour's top stories up next. why the global south does not support sanctions on russia and the role of the world bank and the i m f and causing poverty in the region that's coming up on going underground was seen next hour. ah

ah ah ah with

ah, i imagine or fancy and welcome back to going underground, nay. donations are in crisis. that is clear, an era of 20th century globalism, guided by powerful corporations and institutions like major the i, m, f, the w t o n blocks like the u is accompanied one catastrophe after another. and so today we see the threat of armageddon from climate change disease and perhaps a war in europe to really end all wars. this while a miniscule global elite gets richer and richer, the new book argues that crises can lead to salvation by so called public private partnerships in bremo, president of eurasia groups, the power of crisis have 3 threats,

and our response will change the world joins me now from new york city, thank you so much. and from about coming on, i better off before i even get into the book. what the reaction is because the world is arguably in a more imminent crisis than when you are perhaps writing the book. and given that you are saying crisis can harold the salvation? who's been reading this? oh, look, i had some quite well and i wonder, you know, i consider myself and of the person. but most of my books have been a little depressing. because the world has been geopolitically, at least heading in a much more challenging direction. this is a more hopeful book. and i think import, the strong reaction has been in part because policy makers are looking for that, especially as the grappling with different crises. we've seen that from the un secretary general, we saw that just the other day i saw the president of the world bank said this was his favorite book from 4022. that was, that was that certainly nice and startling to see i'm so pregnant across the political while it's so pretty good so far. and of course,

i presume you'll then be persuading them of some of the action that needs to be taken, which you do talk about in, in the book one, a one paragraph. i think the did the shock me a little is when you said the u. s. remains the only nation that can protect or project political, economic, cultural, and military power into every region of the world. do you think that's still true in the light of what's been happening since the publication of the book and what is seen in the global south as a realignment and less so arguably in media, in nature, nations. and i think it's more true today. it's more true with the russian war and the europeans betting more on nato because they understand they can't protect themselves. it's more true in the aftermath of a failed 0 copay, policy b in china and the likelihood that hundreds of thousands, not millions of chinese are going to die as they let coven rip there. but that

doesn't mean that america's power translates into other countries wanting to follow the united states doesn't translate into alignment, and it doesn't translate into willingness on the part of the united states to play that leadership role. so those are, i mean, the fact that the americans remain the one global superpower in terms of the role of us holler. the. ready role of the american military, the tech companies, and all the rest that, that doesn't get you resolution of the world's crises, not at all. and i should just add, though, the china would deny that. so many people are going to die. in fact, they would probably draw attention to the fact only 5000 people having died from cove it. and what is it a 1000000 dead in where you're speaking to me? and i suppose i should remind our audience or that the crisis are essentially 3 strands in the book, curb climate. grace is the pandemic graces and, and we're.
