is not a support funding ammunition, nice mission, african united miss. i don't care about chug or send people with a side to reported across ukraine or cities, including the capital kids are targeted by missiles also this our escalating sanctions are providing where principal only make it difficult to turn the situation around and even the provoke large scale confrontation, china is wanting on the conflicts in ukraine as beijing says that western actions are provoking a larger scale conflict in the region. and america, last policies. that's how one u. s. senate labels of washington's decision to send ukrainian soldiers to oklahoma . the patriot missile defense system training with

moscow to the well this is our t international. my name is peter scott here with the top stories this our explosions and power outages have been reported in several cities across ukraine, including the capital key of with wide spread strike warnings. let's get the details from our teeth woman quarter of who's in done yet. roma, good evening to you, what do we know about these reports coming in from ukraine so far? but those are stripes. well, ukrainian officials and local media are reporting that there were at least a hundreds or rockets fired against it, said territory. now several of the countries or regions have declared the emergency of italy clinical former boxer and now mayor of ki, of has confirmed that there were explosions in key of as well had the moment a temporary electricity. a blackouts have been introduced in the ukrainian capital,

as well as 7 other regions in the ukraine. now, social media footage of videos have emerged over partly destroyed the building in the city office near prop it frost tongue. as several people are posting this online now ukrainian officials were a quick to blame a rush for these attacks. however, russian defense ministry are yet to comment on the events offer this saturday. however, by russian defense minister, you have stated that time and again, that ukrainian air defense systems have been operating a very and effectively. and they have also made statements that say ukrainian missile defense rockets have already ended up in people's homes in ukraine several times. and even in the neighboring countries, when at 2 farmers were killed by ukrainian rocket in poland. now once again,

this story is developing. we're waiting to hear for statements from the russian defense ministry on saturdays events, room. i hope he'll bring us more details as and when you get the nas ortiz, roma call server fulton live from denise really thank you for me. while rushes reiterates at his post for a peaceful solution to the ukraine. conflicts both has warned that is prepared to continue with its military intervention unless care of on its western allies agree to negotiate on moscow's terms. that comes from the countries and voice to the un who was speaking of the latest security council meeting. with more details, his ortiz kenneth moment, while 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 permanent 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 iran and the democratic people's republic of korea for allegedly helping russia in ukraine on 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. will ensure some view to escalate in sanctions or providing weapons full only make it difficult to turn the situation around and even the 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 now then zia took to the floor and he took the moments on the opportunity to really just kind of lay out the reputation of,

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. we 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 of wider conflict. ah, the russian ambassador took to the. busy floor and simply called out what he was hearing lenses, the hon. grade to was the meetings on ukraine convened by our former western partners are more like a hypocrisy fair. moreover, the hypocrisy of representatives of the collective west and the key of 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. we're asking increasingly uncomfortable questions about where all the money allocated to key of is going. then he pointed out that these are these calls for some kind of peace summit from the ukrainians are not, it's not legitimate, they're not honest, they're not, they're not putting forward a serious proposal could actually lead to an agreement to add the conflict. they are simply, they are simply doing this, the attic lead to the answer, a number of questions and responding to the growing amount of public just got with the conflict happening, not just in the united states, but another western countries. now it's important to note the russian and bastard mentioned in the next un security council meeting is scheduled for tuesday of the following week. next tuesday, there will be a meeting. russia will be raising some very important issues. they're trying to point out many aspects of the ongoing conflict. western media and mainstream media has just chosen to obscure and nor while russia pushes from negotiations,

the state senator says the u. s. government is putting america last thoughts with his plans to train ukrainian soldiers to use the patriot missile defense system in oklahoma. the official claimed the training pose a risk slicing last year. the incidence of ukrainian missile ended in poland, which kill 2 people. 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. so thought nathan dom has filed a resolution that would block federal officials from sending fraud troops to oklahoma, encouraging local authorities to do the same. the politician also without, at washington's continuing funding of key of stressing that oklahoma should not continue to allow on accountable spending corruption and potential money laundering resolution echoes similar sentiments already expressed by some republicans. several members of the u. s. congress have called for an audit of u. s. government funds allocated for

a to ukraine in november last year. and newly elected speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy reportedly pledge to limits future aid to ukraine. that was to secure a majority of votes in his 15th attempt. international attorney climb preston says that the conflicts in ukraine is none of america's business. never. we have no business being involved to this degree or at all, frankly, in, in ukraine and the cost to americans, that civilians and american citizens could be great. particularly if this conflict becomes a hot conflict between on russ in the united states. you know, maybe sen, dams, 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 been dera. ah, hold overs that are in ukraine to day. 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 for long. there's no democracy there and they're looking for anyway because they're desperate in my view is very dangerous to have them on us soil training. i'm in oklahoma and i think senator nathan dom was correct in his very bold resolution that he proposed over to europe. now where italy's foreign minister antonio to johnny has announced his country is ready to send a new box of ministry a to give enough, despite the economic crisis gripping the country. while the country grapples with rising inflation and poverty, the italian government is committed to continuing its funding of kiev, have been donated an estimated 1300000000 euros the military aid, as well as other assistance and refugee support. and that makes it the 12 largest

e, you, donor to ukraine, since the beginning of the war it. so he has grappled with rising inflation and mid year on year prices rising by point one percent with energy costs. the biggest contributing factor reports by the national institute of statistics indicate that this is the highest annual inflation rate is experienced in 35 years. it was his, it was the vault. what is heaven? an italy's shameful? every one must know that the government has taken away subsidies for the poor and supplying ukraine with weapons for conflict that we italians are not interested in georgia, milan, his government must be ashamed of what it is doing to poor people and not a lot of us will do i find it absurd, was easily doing together with europe fuel in a conflict by giving weapons to ukraine. they are given to my, to a country that is not even the in the european union and we, the poor and the unemployed are suffering and starving. these all the so, you know, goes on is amana, what they're doing is, inhumane. we poor people are abandoned,

and politicians are thinking about buying weapons for ukraine. here in italy, we're dying of poverty. we have no work, i am unemployed. in a while, i will no longer have a home and i don't really know what to do. a barbaric regime with no respect for human rights while that's how the you case. prime minister has described iran for the execution of a former top defense official under jewel british iranian citizen, found guilty of spying for you. k intelligence london has responded by imposing sanctions on the islamic republics attorney general. i am appalled by the execution of british uranian citizen alley, reza act, barry and iran. this was a callous and cowardly act carried out by a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people. ali reza at bari, it was accused of passing classified defence unsecure information to the british intelligence services, as well as receiving nearly $2000000.00 in compensation he had confessed to but

late to denied the allegations saying they were given under duress, oliver's act barrio had risen to be a high ranking arabian official, and he also fought for the country during the iran iraq war back in 2008. he was fried by an iranian colt, as no evidence was presented. he then moved to britain, where he received british citizenship. 10 years later, he was re arrested during a visit to toronto, and later found guilty of treason and executed. let's discuss this with sad muhammad miranda university of to run and joining us from iran itself. thanks for joining us now, professor miranda, know what's your take on the british reaction to the execution of this joint iranian british national it's expected, after all, he was caught working for the u. k. the

evidence is quite clear. and i think the most latent problem that the u. k faces, here is how in the world did a former deputy iranian defense minister, game, british citizenship when the iranian military and so many iranian senior officials and passed officials or sanction out of the world that he did. citizenship forget the fact that he received residency. he became a british citizen. the fact is that in western countries, whenever iranians arrest a spy, whenever they capture someone working for western intelligence, western media will all say that the person is innocence. so we can safely assume that western countries do not carry out espionage. and not western in non western countries, completely innocent, they're completely benign. but of course,

i think the reality on the ground and history shows that the exact opposite is true . well, obviously ali reza at vari, he himself said he was innocent and that the confession he gave was after been tortured. now does the fact that he is a british citizen, not so much complicate the matter and that the bassoon was executed? well he, i was a person who had was involved in many senior bodies in iran, and there is no doubt that he pass on information to the british. the fact that the western media covers the store in the way, in which benefits their own narrative is understandable. in iran, if they are riots, they'll call them peaceful testers. if a lease officer is burned to lie,

they will not do to that they will not mention it. if the rioters nice and slit people's throats, there will be a complete silence in the riots that we had a couple of months ago in the run. yet over 6, the police officer is murdered. and imagine if it was the united states, if you multiply it by 4, because it's roughly 4 times as the population was 4 times greater than one, that would be like 250-6070 police officers. if you had that many us police officers murder 1st during a period of if you will, one with the response the night with the response be in the u. k. so these double standards are, are understandable because that's how the west functions, they support isis in syria for years, and then they called, they called them freedom fighters. and then when they began to grow to larger,

when iranians and their allies were defeating isis, suddenly they pretended that they were the real fighters against biases. even in your own conflict with ukraine. nato advances on east, worse towards the russian border line. the russians, they bring about a clue, then they, the, the right wing government suppresses the russians, but everything is the fault, the russians. this is the traditional western narrative in any company. well, i think you've touched on my next question. actually a professor miranda now, obviously iran isn't the only country to have the death penalty on. think about it, what you will, whether you agree that's or not. do you think the reaction of the u. k, the europe and their allies is different when it comes to executions in iran, as compared to for example executions in america. that is only one

small, very, very small part of the hypocrisy. you're absolutely correct. but the real hypocrisy is that persian media in the u. k. has during the riots that we had a few weeks ago. we're, we're calling on the protesters to kill the police. i've tweeted a couple of these clips where they were legitimize legitimizing and supporting burning police officers align sniping them, and killing them, torturing them in the u. k. if this was done in english, if these, these media outlets where the english language are directed towards a western audience, they will be shut down in minutes. and they will be put on trial for doing this. when it comes to run, it allows so chilling iranian police officers is fine. but executing someone who carries out espionage is barbaric supporting al qaeda. isis and other groups in

afghanistan and syria and iraq destroying libya and iraq, imposing rural sanctions on venezuela and q. and the genocide in yemen, these are infinitely worse than any execution, whether one accepts capital punishment or not. but in the western world, all of that is the race because they do it. and their adversaries are condemned simply because they want to be independent. indeed, well said mohammed mirandi university of tyranny, professor, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you. will show us features on the program. thank you for us. we'll continue to modernize it's military alliance with japan. a statement came from president biden during a meeting with his japanese partner. the japanese prime minister visited washington in the last stop is g 7 tall seeking to strengthen the alliance submit

a legit chain challenges posed by china, north korea and russia. mutual concerns between the 2 countries of prompted biden to support. so q decision to increase defense spending approved by japan's new security strategy. though critics do say that this goes against the japanese constitution. they are both the us defense secretary and the secretary of state said that washington is ready to commit to the full defense of japan by any means not includes nuclear weapons. and i want to reaffirm the united states iron quiet 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 islands it is hard to oversee the importance of the us japan alliance from within 70 case, it's been the cornerstone of peace and stability and you know, pacific ensuring the security, the liberty, the prosperity of our people,

and people across the region. the u. s. sex here states claimed his country. it has been a forceful piece in the region without mentioning washington's use of atomic bombs on the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki. at the end of the 2nd world war, which left hundreds of thousands dead, washington hasn't apologized saying that the a bombs brought the water and sooner the former russian presidents to meet you. medea notes of the contradiction. who move? cuz she doesn't care about the fact that the only country to have ever used a nuclear weapon was the united states. and it's only victim was his own motherland . he should remind the president of the united states about this and demand an apology, which was never provided for this horrible act by the american leadership. but no, he sheet a wife for the americans, and servants have no courage. we spoke to the vice president of the center for china and globalization. victor gao, he says that we are in japan, poses a danger to countries in the region, particularly when talk is of nuclear weapons. it will be completely wrong for the

united states to try to re to unleash the potential aggressive instincts of japan, which will be of course, to many countries in the asian pacific region. i would urge secretary lloyd austin to be very cautious when he uses any words or involving on nuclear weapons. it is absolutely wrong for a big country like the united states. talk about nuclear weapons, all use the nuclear weapons against the any country in the world. mankind does not need to have another nuclear attack. the united states used a nuclear bombs to bomb hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945 and have been lots of them nation about the u. s. decision to use nuclear weapons as well as the very end of the 2nd world war. malaysia will look into bonding palm or like sports to

the e. u. well, that's in response to the blogs. recent legislation makes it more difficult for companies to sell the quality to europe. if we need to engage experts from overseas to counter removed by the u, then we have to do it. otherwise we could just stop exports to europe and focus on other countries. if you was giving us all such a difficult time with the exports to them. well, it comes as a country's agree on a law covering a wide range of agricultural goods. exporters of such goods to europe will need to provide supply chain information to prove that they don't contribute to global deforestation. thing to do so could result in hefty fines into these here on malaysia, which are the world's top palmer produces, have accused you of unfairly target in palm oil. the 2 countries are set to discuss an appropriate response. the years, the world's 3rd largest consumer of palm oil, which accounts for almost a quarter of the blocks biofuel outputs, independent research. maria hunter says use decision making concerning green

policies. doesn't serve the block. the now the issue of what i would like to call moral imperialism is coming out of the you and you've got, if i can use the best way to script it, you've got the 30 something year old, a lot. they drinking bureaucrats that sit in coffee shops around brussels and other cities in europe. ah, talking about the virtues of the environment, then, you know, human trafficking ah, climate change. and what they doing is believing their, adhering to the set of principles of as you know, saving the world through these regulations. they don't look at the situation ah, the history, the land, for instance, the land that most a lot of palm oil is growing on in stairwell is actually won't be land that can't

be used for anything else. so you're talking about 9 percent of the exports. so i think malaysia and indonesia can look at alternative customers very easily and you know, the news. the swedish defense ministry has announced that he started negotiations with us to enhance military cooperation. however, some of the wording has raised concerns in the local media as to the possibility of sweeting establishing us based on his soil. negotiations on the defense, cooperation agreement or unnatural development of sweden and the united states. long standing cooperation in the security and defense field. these include questions about the legal status of us military personnel, access to base areas, advance stockpiling of material taxes and duties. the defense minister is careful to emphasize that it is not about building american bases in sweden that would be

controversial. however, similar arrangements in norway have been criticized for being a way of indirectly creating us basis without calling them that the corporation between stockholm and washington comes amid the ongoing war in ukraine. earlier the russian presidents had emphasized that the military infrastructure, expansion of sweden and finland would cause a response from moscow. pico scientists decent says that sweden and norway might be changing verbage to circumvent current restrictions on foreign military bases. depends what i'm a theory. i mean, in no way they're similar linguistic challenge cars in, in norway. there's a base policy. it doesn't permit for a basis on it. so for an entry, one nearly changes the language so called it a base area or, or a concentrated area, you know, using other words, the military base in order to circumvent the south and post restrictions. so i'm

a bit uncertain why the sweetness chosen to use this worse. i'm guessing it's related to the development of a legal framework in order to host us troops on the soil. they want to make to get sweden into nato as quick as possible. ideally, if you know before the head, this conflict, the new ends and possibly people of loose loose stair, a support for this native membership it but definitely there would still be a position to no membership. and there will definitely also then be opposition to having foreign basis on it. soil for the simple reason that it would more likely make yes, we've now target less all for me peter scott's votes. all season nicky are and will be taking over to take you through all the top stories as we head into this saturday evening. thank you very much for watching.

ah, ah, ah ah, lisa canter, russian state a little narrative. i've studied as i phone and you know, sam steven, hey mckindoe's house, lance and maybe he could benefit. he battled with middle keys on any of the panels dealing with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine restate on russia for date,

and with marquee spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest, and with me. yes, amazing to see people share, right. because as men we talk about being strong unami, everybody wants to be strong, man, but you know, we might be physically strong, but you know, are we emotionally weak? my son got incarcerated here and i learned my biggest fear was and he goes back into a di had on the board about memory. mama says gray phrase is charles policy. and he said, your son used to say he was,

she could come to prison just so he can be with you. in that moment i said, this is what you've left your child and this woman and your family to, to do. they say, you said if you are thinking you is dead, you never too old to find out peace with your children, which yourself. mm hm. this prison is me into more like always call a blank canvas and a beautiful landscape. mm. i think that there are a lot of things that we can accomplish here. if give an opportunity. mm.

ah, everybody's watching everything they do. everywhere they go everywhere they gather . they have to really, really, really be above board to make this happen. they have to worry about be a put in the whole they have to worry about being moved to another prison depending on how hard they pushed. they don't wanna be too vocal because they don't want to be signaled out as a security risk because they're being vocal about something that they want to learn . they can move them at any time. they could be take, you know, just rolled up and moved to another facility at any time for any reason. there's nothing i can say or do about it. mm. i'm pretty sure they still down us all the way up to this point. but you can't argue with our results. that's the thing that you can argue. cameras in every classroom, by soon as we got a classroom camera start coming up in because.
