nation trip across africa with it's sunday and that means it's the weekly hit on oxy international. and peter scott's been here at the top stories from the week just gone. thanks for joining us . we start off with some breaking news from nepal, where dozens are reported dead in a plane crash near the capital's international airport. we heard from a russian citizen working us an aviation cope in nepal who was at the scene. and he says the incidence was caused by a sharp loss of speed. and when we were at an old airport near the napoleon the ation club parking lot, at one point we saw the plane landing and it was already very low at the time, my colleague and i realized something was wrong, then it dropped sharply by about 20 meters in the plane disappeared over the horizon, there was an explosion and fire and that was it. typical loss of speed and corkscrew . this unverified footage allegedly shows the moments before as well as the

aftermath of the plane crash near the city of walker in the central nepal. latest report suggests that there may be some survivors. the plane was reported to the trying to land before plummeted to the ground and have been a police government declared the 16th of january a national morning day after the tragic incident. ortiz chava has more 80 or 72 of the yeti. a line that was on the road from the capital city on a fall got mondo to bora. and that stretch takes about 30 minutes and 20 minutes into the take. off from god mondo the crash was reported the local media in the ball. and i was seeing that there's a possibility of the pilot in order to avoid a crashing into the busy market area. the water and the plane towards the set is reward. and that's where the crash was reported around 11 e. m a local dying. when the bands of the set it over, this was only about one and

a half kilometers from the ball cra airport, where the plane was supposed to land. now as far the civil aviation authorities of ne paul, there was $68.00 passengers on board, including 15 foreign nationals and 4 crew members. these foreign nationals included . 45 indians. so for russians do koreans and some other nationalities as well. and now as far as the prime minister may bothers concerned a pushback among the hard. he's held an emergency meeting with his cabinet and are monitoring the situation very, very closely. naples army as well as police and also some lockers are really trying to help in the rescue operations there at this stage that are deferring the reports on how many dead bodies have been pulled out a. but at this stage, it would be very difficult to say whether anyone has survived or not. of course, the chances of that a very bleak, very,

very unlikely. what happened with our plane of scores. those details are still very sketchy at this point. but of course, we'll keep following all the updates and keep our viewers updated on that note to the war in ukraine, where the russian defense minister was confirmed and launch strikes on ukrainian military command centers, unrelated infrastructure on saturday, said little girl. lucille looked up on january 14th, a missile attack was carried out on ukrainian military commands and control systems of related energy facilities. all targets were hit on the donuts friends. russian troops have advanced to the northern outskirts of the city of our team, of sky and the sole railway station of monmouth. let's cross live now to our correspondence roman coster of who's in dana, daniel roman m. could you tell us what the russian defense minister said in his latest statement? well, 1st of all, in regards to our cha mosque,

which is no in the west as a backward because the ukraine had renamed that city back in 2016. well, the city of r, r cha mosque is off a paramount strategic importance, both to russia and ukraine. its only 10 kilometers away from the recently liberated city of salazar and when on the barrack battle grounds of their will allow the russian armed forces to advance further its wards. the cities of fast la down scanned crum a tor scanned. that's yet another major stronghold of the ukraine and military and the currently an occupied territory of the nest people's republic. now russian defense ministry statements comes right after ukrainian officials and the local media reported that there were at least $100.00 raucous, fired against the secretary on saturday. several of the countries regions declared for emergency on that day, and also emergency electricity blackouts were declared in key of as well as at 7

other regions. now footage in social media in ukraine also showed a partially destroyed residential building in at now proper frost. you crate and officials 1st blamed a rush for the direct destruction of the building, but sets up advisor to ukrainian president. alexey are established confirmed that it was not a direct hit, but the work of ukrainian air defense systems for you, but it was below no polish. the missile was shut down, but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. now authorities in ukraine were quick to disagree with the speaker that you've just heard, and the mayor of never petrov kaz already called for a restore which to be investigated by the country's security services. meanwhile, russian military officials have as stated thyme. and again,

that says civilians are never the targets of russian strikes. also, they have stated numerous times that ukrainian air defense. it has been very ineffective given examples how their missile defense rockets have already ended up in civilians, homes up, well not only in ukraine, but even in the neighboring countries when one of the ukrainian rockets killed 2 farmers in poland. now also earlier on sunday, russian defense ministry said that ukraine security services are setting up explosives in a grain storage facility in hark of region. now, this provocation, as they called it, was the plans in order to accuse russia of failing the so called grain deal defense . ben is free goes as far as providing details of the plans sabotaged missions, saying that at least 30 ukrainian explosive specialist and security officers have already arrived in hark off and according to defense, ben is free. the provocation is meant to increase pressure on public opinion in

western countries in order to achieve new, large scale arm supplies, the ukraine, and the happening right on the eve of the meeting of nato defense ministers in rom, signed germany, which is supposed to take place on january the 20th. now this is a 2nd warning about ukrainian provocations issued by the russian defense ministry. this year alone, on the 8th of january, military officials issued awarding the key of security. the services are preparing to accuse russian forces of committing atrocities against a civilian population. in the same place, in hark, off 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. and all that in order to accuse russia of committing war crime center, this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would stage such provocations in order to find support in the west. last year,

a world headlines were full of stories about the news from boucher ukrainian city that russian forces return to keep controlled you through successful negotiations. that took place at the time by western media were presented with corpses of civilians on the streets of the city. and that's just 3 days after the russian army left, the linkage between the dead and the russian military was established immediately without any fag based data to back it up. and anyone who dared to question the established russia did it narrative was a shouted down and belittled as a russian shill. or even worse for its sport. 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. and at that time, the presidency of the security council was held by great britain. and the british

mission to the un has denied the russian request. so in general, the latest ukrainian provocation falls in line with the key of attempts to boost military support from the was due to its own failures on the battle ground. roma thank sabrina's, the latest from the war in ukraine, the se roma casa reporting live from danielle. went out to the dawn bus front lines where russian forces achieved to break through this week. the private military company, wagner thought would be strategic town of philadelphia under its control. now this exclusive footage shows the wagner groups head on members inspecting an underground mine that was previously used by kids troops to stole weapons. the companies had said that the remaining ukrainian troops who are surrounded and refused to surrender, were killed in battle. guinea pig ocean also symbolically brought salt to the mind in an attempt to swipe western media, which claim t has business interest in the city. going to evelyn so that there would be no

rumor spread in the yes that we are fighting for source. i have some ukraine insult with me. live it and solider after we go through it. solider is a strategically important location. gaining control over it pays the way for russian forces to put pressure on ukrainian troops in the major city of our church must also known as bach moods of vital transportation. hold with a network of roads and railways. use the supply routes. the head of the done after public said that after doris, as military will be able to move towards save, you ask another key town as one of the towns of common source on slab young sc would then be key targets for the russian army. now key, if there's a fighting for the city, it's still ongoing. amid reports of both sides have suffered losses in the battle for the town. meanwhile desperate relatives of ukrainian fighters who are said to be missing or encamped timothy, i've taken to the streets of kiff and what local media labeled a march of widows, women were seen holding photos of their husbands calling on the government to bring

them home. the protest follow multiple eye witness accounts that suggest that kit is reluctant to retrieve some of the wounded unclaimed service men from the battlefield. kids biggest military back in the united states down played the significance of the latest developments on the phone line. according to a pentagon spokesperson, the ukrainian armies latest defeats, would not have any impact on the conflict. so let's just take a lesson. 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 and sell it are fall to the russians. it's not going to make a as 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 so dar hadn't fallen in the ukrainian defences 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 82550000 of mobilized troops finally appear on the battlefield. it was to follow sola dar, uh, the russians have put at risk of the ukrainian positions in bar moot. um, the, the fact is that the defense of this area is going to become untenable and, or rather than risk, an even larger cauldron. the ukraine's will have no choice but to withdraw and see, create a new defensive built 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 operations. so this is a, this is

a battle of tremendous significance and tremendous consequence for both sides. china, new, foreign minister is wrapping up his 5 nation trip across africa. and the last country on that list was been in june, an official, me think with the countries presidents, he emphasized the importance of chinese african cooperation. and so i didn't fight more areas to strengthen bilateral ties. jaina, bob been in court. 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, co operation. 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. president had to sell on a venue has met with visiting chinese foreign minister, tingling called it till i said that the new chinese foreign ministers visit king size with the fifty's investors. of the assumption of diplomatic relations between

the 2 countries, many look forward to learning from china's experience, deepening and expanding practical corporation and accelerating national development and revitalization. tino the other hand. can they president seeking things, greetings to president iran and thanked beneath voice, understanding and support on issues involving china's interests and major concerns . things that, that china is willing to strengthen, experience, it changes in the beginning and governance, and support meaning in exploring a development path. se to form national conditions. the 2 sides also signed cooperation documents such as people to people and cultural exchanges. they've also agreed to conduct the outcomes of the 8th ministerial conference of the forum, and i forgot corporation. and to encourage more powerful and reputable chinese companies to invest in earlier this week, the chinese foreign minister also visited an gola. he noted that both states have always enjoyed solidarity untrusted as well as growing momentum in their mutual

cooperation. the chinese companies making significant contributions to infrastructure upgrades in an gola. his african trip also included a stop in ethiopia, where held a meeting with his ethiopian counterparts. they discussed bilateral corporation under joints experienced in governance, which on his new foreign minister also met with the head of the african union commission and in an apparent swipe asked us involvement in the continent. he stated that no willed power should force african countries to take sides in masses of geo politics. instead, same as africa should be a place for promoting economic development. fetal josh would 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 interests. the partnership we have with china is built on this principles. and while cooperation between china and african nations in, on the rise, the u. s. as it's such actions are actually destabilizing the confidence of the u. s. defense equity made those claims. last month at the summit of african leaders in washington were witnessing the purity, expand its footprint, ah, in the, 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 paddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries i think are that bears watching. and certainly, i think their influence, again,

can be the stabilizer. while chinese affairs experts and you long says that the country is approached to africa is more holistic than that of western powers. tunnel 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 and it was capacity building for development. it would help the these countries to develop. and also of course, it would force crucial ties between china and africa. their so called democracy as defined by the united states is only a facade channel to excerpt americans in france to impose the americans more go on on other countries, regardless of the m, the state of the development of 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 china. 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 say, towards building infrastructure within the country and connecting these countries to other neighboring countries. it would bring a lot of economic progress over 60 years. since gaining independence, the democratic republic of congo continues to feel the effects of grueling decades long conflicts. the southern mineral rich region of the country was torn between former colonial powers and insurgents. are these trouble a thought that explains how the current government is still picking up the pieces left by western powers? after 6 long decades of brutal conflicts, countless lives lost and displaced the war in the d. r. c's, 1000, mineral rich,

province of cat anger, is finally over. it's been a harrowing endeavor for his people, and the region itself regulated 61 time, came for congress to gain her independence. the imperialists and colonizers led by belgium, the united kingdom, and the united states, shows conflict and separatism in cassandra. but why did they do it? they all parroted ally and by western colonizers and imperialists, that it was to hold the spread of communism in the world. for in the d r c, that also men control of major resources at bargain basement prices, and that's how the war in the region began, but for the democratically elected leader of the congo. patrice lamar, the future of the country, was only as one united nation. i informed the public in the congo and throughout the world. the co tango will not be separated from the congo, the province of catania, as an integral parts of an independent congo from the point of view of internal public law and of international law. just as the province of antwerp in belgium

will not become independent, neither will, the province of catania become independent in the congo. our great rich country will remain united in order to play a primary role in the association of free nations of africa. but la moda was beaten to the top and deposed by army general, known as lovely to us as a 2nd. lemme a democratically elected leader of the congo was handed to his enemies. he was beaten brutally, and tortured by his enemies. it was later revealed that belgium and the cia engineered and claimed for his downfall and that le mover was handed over to his enemies to be tortured and for his body to be doused with as it to further hasting decomposition, this is according to the u. s. is old national security council subgroup western pressure made sure that the united nations security council was hamstrung

and could not get a consensus on the burning conflict and west then missionaries filled the congress, the united nations secretary general at the time. doug hamas called was hard to change this west the narrative and called for peace. he even called for all foreign forces to leave the congo. but sadly, he was to lose his life in a mysterious plane crash. in 1961 details of which i had to be known, largely because the united kingdom and the united states archives both refused to cooperate with the mission. and the investigation has since gone no way. the continued non disclosure of potentially relevant new information in the intelligence security and defense archives of member states constitutes the biggest barrier to understanding the full truth of the event. the situation in the congo

only kept on getting worse, and as public opinion grew against western powers, it was up to john f. kennedy to do something about it. he decided to flip and not support the leader in katana easier said, than that something that took nearly a year to and did all the congo crisis arranged on and the country shattered and devastated by it's still an able to recover largely because of western greed and an unwillingness to accept that congress has the right to decide its own destiny and grab a little wacky. and john, in the news, rushes blamed armenia for the break down of peace talks with us by john of the disputed region of not gonna come back from on this. let's cross live now to our correspondence. marina coarser, ever. good afternoon, marina. what more can you tell us about this dispute?

well, armenia basically wants russia to do more about it's along this piece of enclaves of and i've gotten the car box. and this all basically started when the armenian prime minister said that the behavior of rotten peacekeepers, there is unacceptable. and that they're basically standing by silently watching the humanitarian crisis unfold. let me give you some background on this so that i can get a better understanding of the situation. basically, russia deploy the peacekeepers to go and i've got a boss during a cease fire deal a brokerage between armenia. and i said by john in 2020 and in the 66 week war that the 2 countries had. and then a couple of weeks ago, armenia accused us by john of creates an amended sarian. christ is there by blocking the only landline connecting. now go to look at a box to armenia and supposedly this creates it. sorts of jews of food and medicine for its part that by john said that this was not

a government lead blockades. in fact, the denied claims of any blockade for that matter, and that this was simply as or by johnny civilians protest and what they thought were unlawful armenian mine and projects there. so there was the same still and armenia wanted russia to act and to do more. and it said the prime minister armine, as prime minister said, asked raja, how applied to unlock the locking core door and saying that moscow had vowed and promised to ensure the safety and security of the citizens in gordon by the majority of whom are ethnically armenian, and moscow for its part for back said, well, armenia as the one who bailed on talks that was scheduled in december. yes, no. unfortunately, there's one of obscurity, not in our position, but particularly in that of their me inside and their approaches. perhaps when there was some clarification on this matters, then more will become clear to everyone and you will,

i will have more opportunities to answer practical questions. yes. and not focus to march on principal positions. it was more than that. we should not moscow one set of on to return to the negotiating table, but it seems that the armenian prime minister isn't interested in talking right now . that's what it seems like and is now calling for multinational piece force to come in. and he same statements like russia's military presence in armenia, not only fails to guarantee it security, but raises concerns and security threats for armenia. and at the same time, armenia announced that it will not be hosting military drills by the russian lead alliance of post soviet states. the collective security treats organisation. and it said that the exercises right now to hold the c s t o exercises on are millions territory would be quote on the reasonable. so this is of course, very strange statement to make for an ally. and no doubt, officials in moscow will be wanting that clarification on these statements. was

certainly a very complex situation. marina thank sabrina's latest on the dispute the church and i've gotten a call back. thank you. was that and stories the shade the week here on our scenes national for more on any of them to head over to our website. i'm just got let me back again at the top of the hour with another look. thank you very much for watching. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

it what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, move his on offense, very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk in elementary school. the teachers called me that problem. cheers. and so i was labeled burly. i ended up getting kicked out of school. i was 1617 and 18 though. she's been my graduation high school

years, but instead i'm on the streets selling crap. gang bang. and thinking that i was going to make to see 21. i would get dressed in all rare b. ride the bus to the heel just to walk around and wait for a group of blues to approach me 1st, i'll try to fight it tagged eisen. i walk in the middle and they not pull out that day and, and watch up scanner when i oh, you know, watch a wound like roaches. then i got addicted to be in fear.

my mom was here trying to be the disciplinarian and the bread winner. but she didn't have no help. i rebelled against her, but it wasn't her fault. we were in this together and that's why i should have known then i, my mom was my 1st love. up until the mid eighty's, when cracked became the reason to be for her. it was okay, but she had an addiction and it grew monster. her addiction to crap. so proceeded everything, her dignity, her ability to reason her desire to be a mother. it was either things that broke me i didn't like the life that i was living, but somehow i felt hopeless to.
