t correspondent roon june sharma to discuss the details. what more do we know about this tragic crush? well as far as the civil aviation authority of the ball is concerned, they said that on board the plane, there were $68.00 passengers, which included at least 15 for nationals as well as for crew members. and these for national, intuitive 5 indians for russians to koreans. and other nationalities as well. now that will cut the dead bodies that have been pulled out. but at this stage we don't know whether there are any. so if i was or not, of course, the chances looking stream, the trim as far as the structures concerned, the cross stretch. this isn't the 1st time that we are seeing a clash of this thought in in last year. in fact, last year in me, we'd seen another crash of tara airways where we'd seen the piece 22 people who

died. but as far as this particular crash is concerned, the plein or yet the airlines, it took off from kaufman to the capital city of the fall. and in fact, was supposed to land in full crowd. the flight from god, monday for crowd takes about could see minutes. but 20 minutes into the take off a we heard the news of the plane crash. this was around 11 am local time. and what the local media reporting now is that there is a possibility that the pilot in order to not crash into a settlement. a took the lean towards the settings report where the plain in fact crashed on the bees. the setting device at this. in fact, almost a can no matter and a half from the pool, cry international and port where the plane was supposed to land. now, as far as the authorities are concerned, the army, the local police,

even the locals, are trying to help in the rescue or provisions. as i pointed out, or what the dead bodies have been rescued at this stage, when not sure whether or not there are any survivors, but it looks extremely unlikely at this stage. the prime minister of ne paul push mac mall has in fact called for an emergency meeting of his cabinet and they are monitoring the situation very closely. r t roon sharma, thank you for the update. moscow says kiev is planning a large scale provocation to blow up large grain stocks and blame russia. the russian defense ministry says kids goal is to leverage western public opinion. ukraine security services are preparing a large scale provocation in the coming days to discredit russia's actions within the grain deal, and to accuse russia of creating

a food shortage in ukraine. in the western media, the incident will be presented as another atrocity by the russian troops requiring a tough response from the world community. the fence, been se goes as far as providing details of the plant sabotaged mission, saying that at least a 30 ukrainian explosive specialist and security officers have already arrived in article. and the storage facility itself is owned by a man affiliated with the security service of ukraine. now, according to the defense ministry, the publication is meant to increase pressure on public opinion in western countries. in order to achieve you, large scale arm supplies to ukraine on the eve of the a meeting of nato defense ministers and ramstein germany, which will take place on january 20th. now this is a 2nd warning about the ukranian provocations issued by russian defense ministry. this year alone, on the 8th of january, military officials issued

a warning. the key of so security services are preparing to accuse russian forces of committing atrocities against civilian population in harkell. now, the alleged plan was to dig up the graves of civilians who died of natural causes disfigure their bodies and put them in a mass grave all in order to accuse russia of committing war crimes. now this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would stage such provocations in order to find support in the west. last year world headlines were a full of stories about news from boucher ukrainian city that russian forces returned to caves, controlled you to successful negotiations. at that time. western media were presented with the corpses of civilians on the streets of the city. 3 days after the russian army had left now linkage between the dead and the russian military was established almost immediately without any fact based data to back it up. now,

anyone who dared to question the established russia didn't narrative, was the shouted down and the belittled as a russian shill, or even worse for its own part. russia has vehemently denied the allegations and has requested an emergency meeting of the un security council to discuss what the russian foreign ministry has called the criminal provocations by ukrainian soldiers and radicals in boucher. now the presidency of the security council was held by great britain, and the british mission to the un has denied the russian requests of the time. so in general, the latest ukrainian provocation falls in line with key of attempts to boost military support from the west. due to its own failures on the battle ground. meanwhile, on saturday, multiple missile strikes were reported across ukraine. ukrainian officials and local media reported that at least $100.00 missiles were fired. several large

explosions were recorded and cab emergency electricity blackouts were then declared in the capitol as well as 7 other regions of ukraine. according to local officials, one large power plant in the western part of the country went offline with unverified images on the internet showing the a legit damage. a tragic incident also occurred in the city of nap, proper thrall score a residential building with partially destroyed by a rocket. according to local officials, at least 21 people died with dozens more injured. ukrainian officials were quick to blame russia of intentionally striking civilian buildings. but moscow has repeatedly stated it only targets military objects and infrastructure used by the ukrainian army. this comes as one of the landscape advisors contradicted the official narrative, saying that you cranium, air defense, cause the incident you use be there are no pole in the body. it's the missile was shut down, but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. the may of no proper

drops because already called for arrest or which to be investigated by the security services. the russian military has previously said that ukrainian air defenses have been ineffective citing examples of missile defense, rockets hitting civilian buildings in the country as well as neighboring states when a ukrainian rocket killed 2 farmers in poland in november last year. now to don bass, front lines were russian forces achieved a major breakthrough. this week, the private military company, wagner took the strategic city of sola, dar, under its control. this exclusive footage shows the wagner group head and members inspecting an underground mind that was previously used by kids troops to store weapons. the companies had said that remaining ukrainian troops who were surrounded and refused to surrender, were killed in battle. you have getting pre goals and also symbolically brought salt to the mind in an apparent swipe at western media,

which claimed he has business interest in the city would have no more to be together so that there would be no rumor spread in the yes that we are fighting for source, have some credit salt with me, live it in solider, after we go through it. solid are strategically important location. gaining control over it, paved the way for russian forces to put pressure on ukrainian forces in the major city of already almost a vital transportation hub with a network of roads and railways used to supply routes. the head of the don. yes, republic said that after solar are russia military will be able to move towards the rest. another key city, the cities of comma taurus can slot yonce would then be key targets for the russian army. this comes as can continue to deny its military has lost control over the city. the reluctance could be explained by the large losses. the ukrainian army has reportedly suffered in the area. meanwhile desperate relatives of ukrainian

fighters were said to be missing or incompatibility have taken to the streets of what local media labels a march of widows, women were seen holding photos of their husbands calling on the government to help bring them home. the protest follow multiple eye witness accounts, suggesting that he is reluctant to retrieve some of his wounded inflamed service men from the battlefield. calves biggest military backers, the united states, downplayed the significance of the latest developments on the front line. according to a pentagon spokesperson, ukrainian armies latest defeat would not have any impact on the conflict. let's take a listen. we don't know how it's going to go, so i'm not gonna predict failure or success here. but even if they're both back mood until it are fall to the russians, it's not going to make a yeah, it's not going to have

a strategic impact on the war itself. and it certainly isn't gonna stop the ukrainians or, or slow them down in terms of their and their efforts to regain their territory was put in this way of sold or hadn't fallen in the ukrainian defenses that they have been building up for over 8 years from 2014 to 2022 would still be intact. and that would complicate extraordinarily, any russian offensive that has been planned. when the remaining 12550000 of mobilized troops, finally appear on the battlefield 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 seek, create

a new defensive bill and further to the west. the capture of sola dar, the eventual capture of bark 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 and tremendous consequence for both sides tie as your foreign minister is wrapping up his 5 nation trip across africa. the last country on the checklist was benign during an official meeting with the country's president. he emphasized the importance of chinese african cooperation to identify more areas to strengthen bilateral ties. but gina, by painting, quote, my proposal is that we work together to promote synergy between beneath strategic development plan and the belt in road initiative. and the achievement of the forum on china, africa cooperation. so in order to identify more fields of action and growth rates for our cooperation. well, i am thinking of infrastructure, agriculture,

human resources, training, manufacturing, and peace and security. earlier this week, the chinese foreign minister also visited angola. he noted that both states have always enjoyed solidarity and trust, as well as growing momentum in their mutual cooperation with chinese companies making significant contributions to infrastructure upgrades in angola, his african trip also included a stop in ethiopia, where he held a meeting with his ethiopian counterpart they discuss bilateral cooperation and their joint experience in governance. china's new foreign minister also met with the head of the african union commission in a swipe at u. s. involvement in the continent. he stated that no world power should force african countries to take sides and matters of jail politics. instead saying africa should be a place for promoting economic developments. it'll show us what african needs to

solidarity and cooperation, not confrontation, no country, no people have the right to force african countries and their people to take sides . africa should be a platform for international cooperation, not an arena for competition between major countries. africa refuses to be seen as an arena for competing influence. we're open to cooperation and partnerships with everyone as long as their respect our principles, our priorities now interest. the partnership with her, with china is built on this principles. while cooperation between china and african nations is on the rise, the u. s. s. such actions are actually d, stabilizing the continent, the u. s. defense secretary made those claims last month at a summit of african leaders in washington were witnessing the purity, expand its footprint. i'm in the car on, on a continent on a daily basis, and that creates problems that will be eventually destabilizing if they're not

already. or we see russia continuing to peddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries, i think that bears watching and certainly i think their influence again, can be the stabilize chinese affairs expert. andrew long says the countries approach to africa is more holistic than that of western powers. taught us engagement with africa, it's very different from the west and looks at the relationship in a holistic way. the emphasis is always been on building infrastructure notice capacity building for development will help the these countries to develop and also cost with force crucial ties between china and africa. their so called democracy as defined by the united states is only a facade channel to certain americans in france to impose the americans more go

on on other countries, regardless of the m, the stage of development, the internal political situation, the geography and so on, so forth the african countries and other developing countries, they are more in debt to western commercial lenders, multiple times more than time. thomas become much more a price and allow, in some sort of that relief. but also taking into account all the stakeholders interest. but overall, these loans are here, as i said, to wants building infrastructure within the country and connecting these countries to other neighboring countries. it would bring a lot of economic progress 57 years after at least half a 1000000 indonesians were killed in anti communist massacres, declassified documents show how the u. s. and u. k. stood by,

as the mass murders unfolded and lead support to the forces carrying out the slaughter. our kids. rachel blevins, has more nearly 60 years after, at least half a 1000000 indonesians were killed by their nation's military and a western back anti communist pert. that was called one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century by the cia indonesia. current president is now expressing regret, but stopped short of calling for accountability with a clear mind and earnest heart. i, as in donasia, is head of state admit that gross human rights violations did happen in many occurrences. and i deeply regret these human rights abuses. the purge began in october of 1965 at the height of the cold war. the anti communist campaign in the west had love you asked to put boots on the ground of vietnam, but they had their eyes on the communist party of indonesia. what is the largest in

the world ah declassified documents from the u. s. and the u. k. have since shown the great length they went to in order to so fear and discord in the country following an attempt to cook, which they blinked on communist supporters. british officials encouraged the unprecedented crackdown with documents from the u. k. foreign office giving insight into the block propaganda campaign launched by london calling for all communist organizations to be eliminated. and it wasn't just the u. s. and the u. k. throwing

their support behind targeting. what british officials referred to as communist cancer, the government in west germany was also well aware of the atrocities that were being carried out by the indonesian military, as documents from the federal republic show political, military, and even financial support. but while the size of indonesia, the communist party was 3rd to those in china and the soviet union at the time, it became the target of a brutal massacre. after it was blamed for an attempted overthrow of then president of car no move, western officials admitted was seen as the perfect way to influence public opinion . however, documents from the state department show that officials in washington encouraged the killings as a way to deal with overcrowded prison. and in some cases they even bragged about handing over a list of suspects to the indonesian military to target directly. they probably killed a lot of people and i probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that's not all bad. no one cared,

so long as they were communists that were being butchered. no one was getting very worked up about it. there appears to be no way for the us government to deny, if knowledge of just how brutal the massacre was as a document showing washington's encouragement of the crackdown are coupled with cable, showing that the u. s. embassy in jakarta was sending regular updates to the state department documenting the math, murder of dozens of prisoners out of time. the army is quietly releasing $10.00 to $15.00 prisoners nightly to muslims for execution. the army then returned in mid march and executed between $40.50 local roddy communists plus another 30 communists from the nearby island of so between $800.00 to $1000.00 alleged communists were executed by the army in east new such anger. in the decades as the massacre of 1965, the indonesians who lost family members and saw their communities forever changed by the killings. have called for accountability for those responsible not just in

their own country, but also in the west. but despite the trove of declassified documents from the u. s, the u. k. and germany that show that they not only had knowledge of the massacre as it was happening, but were also complicit and lending their support. there has been nothing but silence in response. a state of emergency has been declared in several regions of peru beginning january, 15th for 30 days, amid mass protest across the country as peruse and comment. president dena boulevard there has refused to leave office. i will not loss if some voices that have come from the violent and radical factions are asking for my resignation, provoking the population into cash disorder and destruction. i will not resign. my commitment is with peruvian magnetic response. 17 people were reportedly killed and hundreds more injured, including at least $23.00 police officers,

as locals attempted to take over an airport in southern peru on tuesday. at least 43 people have been killed in reported confrontations between police and civilians in the country. and what many activists are calling a massacre? the protest call for the resignation of interim president, dean bal, locked day with demonstrators, claiming their being discriminated against by the new government who is going to defend us who is going to after this children were traumatized. these children who are becoming fatherless, motherless orphans a failure to put it here. i'm a fungus put on the kid. okay. the police officers were shooting at us. i think the raw food it and one debt we're calling president of through d and i belong to resign. because you are murderer. many people are dying because of you, you boss. except that people don't want to you. ah

ah, with thousands of people marry again in being me voted with the demands. but here the one dina, to be out of the government, the one the dictatorship too. and, and they also believe the congress, along with the executive power of all the healing of people who are actually exercise in the right to protest. not just the lima, everyone booth. the u. s. has pledged to

support president bal larkins despite escalating anti government protest demanding her resignation since december last year. impeach president, peddler, christie, or earlier claim to us some ball may is behind the violence oppression of protesters. meanwhile, former bolivian president ever morales has expressed his support for peruvian demonstrators in responsible, marked as government banned him from entering peru. we spoke to peruvian activist, got the at the rio who says that the states actions against the protesters and eval morales are acts of racism. there is evidently the relation between in the border through which we were speaking about the same indigenous people. so and that's the evidence they will be on, you know, well, yes, actions that will be supported it strongly and there is no proof. however,

of the of the government is saying, well, what i think is that evidently racist attack is not only against ever, but obviously again the people, as i mentioned, it's mostly indigenous i mara, that don't have crap. now, have experienced the latest scaling and the action bonding able from entering the country. it's just, it's a joke to me, but it is a statement from a statement from the government. so create been a life basically invention of people and to blame everywhere else

and believe you and less when movement in latin america for whatever is going on in the country even for their own killing. so they're trying to make us responsible for it because there are people who speak against the government as responsible for the killing that they are committing. that's her up on the hour and weeks tops, stories from all around for more of the minute. updates head over to r t dot com and be sure to follow us on odyssey rumble. and thanks for tuning and we'll see you back next hour. ah, ah

ah ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time to sit down and talk

with watching it was a what a national knowing a buy mia. it's amazing to see people share, right. because as men we talk about being strong, you know what i mean? 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 it goes back

into what he had on the board about memory. my son is great, friends is charles policy and he said, your son used to say he will she come the prison just i 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 viewing thinking you, did you never too old to find that piece which are children which yourself. mm hm. this prison is, would mean to more like always call a blank canvas and abuse.
