thanks for joining us. hold weekly. hill, nazi international line. peter scott, bringing you some of the top stories from the week just on thanks for joining us. at least 68 people are confirmed dead in a plane crash near an airport in the capital of nepal. we heard from one russian citizen working at the navy asian club near the scene in catman do. who witnessed the tragedy? and he believed that the crash was apparently caused by a sharp loss of flight speed limit gradually. so we were at an old airport near the napoleon the asian 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, unverified. i'm at the footage apparently shows the moments before and just after the crush, the plane was reportedly trying to make an emergency landing before he fell to the ground. in a poly government has declared johnny the 16th

a day of morning and has ordered inspections of all domestic aircraft ortiz. we're just sharma, has more 80 or 72 of the year t a line. and that was on route from the capital city or the fall got mondo to bull crap. and that stretch takes about 20 minutes and 20 minutes into the peak or from god. mom to 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 lean towards the 15th reward. and that's where the crash was reported down 11 am local time on the back of the board. this was only about one and a half kilometer was from the airport where the plane was supposed to land. now, as for the civilization authorities of the ball, there was 15 foreign nationals and 4 crew members. these 4 national included 5

indians for russians to cotton and some other nationalities as well. now as far as the prime minister of my father's concerned push book, i'm in the hall, he's held an emergency meeting with his cabinet and monitoring the situation very, very closely. may police army as well as police, and also some local, really trying to help in the rescue operations there at this stage that are different reports on how many dead board these have been pulled out a. but at this stage, it would be very difficult to see if anyone has to live or not. of course, the chances of that a very bleak, very, very unlikely. what happened to that clean? of course, those details are still very sketchy at this point. but of course, we keep following all the updates and we keep on yours. updated on that. we spoke to an international aircraft accident investigates a fall, hud,

even my food about the possible causes leading to the accident on the condition and a pulse ation fleet. this the draft specified was about 15 and a half years or so, not ready. if i were to say, the issue with new boys has been there for a while. if you look at numbers at the last, about 8 me, 8 exam crashes 166 people as bad as the previous 12 years. so that's a big number. 72 that had had some issue with in the past related to icing conditions. the icing, which is the challenge in $8070.00 degree exact, specifically $500.00 and below the one that the last day it relates to unwanted maneuvering up in a specially slow speed low on rain value. been

these kind of issues by so player and it grows to be even more challenging, especially when you have infrastructure. we just left one thing on the gas domain as well and not to the war in ukraine. the russian defense minister confirmed it long strikes on key of music among senses and related instruction on saturday to those burrell, lisa looked up on january 14th. a missile attack was carried out on ukrainian military command and control systems of related energy facilities. all targets were hit on the donuts front. russian troops have advanced to the northern outskirts of the city of our team, of sky and the sole railway station. ah, well 1st of all in regards to our tel mosque, which is no one in the west as

a backward because the ukraine had renamed that city back in 2016. well, the city of our arch or mosque is of paramount strategic importance, both to russia and to ukraine. it's only 10 kilometers away from the recently liberated city of salazar and the a win on the barrack battle grounds of their will allow the russian armed forces to advance further its wards. the cities of foss live down scans are crumb a tourist kanza, that se yet another major stronghold of the ukraine and military, and the currently an occupied territory of the de 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 his territory 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 nap. robert frost, he cried, and officials 1st blamed a rush for the direct destruction of the building, but sat stop advisor to ukrainian president. alexey are established confirmed that it was not a direct hit, but the work of ukrainian air defense systems. but you were, you was below. no paula produced, the missile was shut down, but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. how far it is in ukraine were equipped to disagree with the speaker that you've just heard. and the mayor of never petrov cast the already called for a restore bridge to be investigated by the country's security services. meanwhile, russian military officials have as stated time and again, that says civilians are never the targets of russian a 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 of this provocation, as they called it, was a plant in order to accuse russia of failing the so called grain deal. according to defense. when is free, the provocation is meant to increase pressure on public opinion and western countries in order to achieve new, large scale arm supplies, the ukraine. this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would stage such provocations in order to find support in the west. last year, our world headlines were full of stories about and youth from boucher ukrainian

city. the russian forces return to keeps controlled you 2 successful negotiations that sir took place of the time. the 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 fact based data to back it up for export. russia has vehemently deny delegation. so in general, the latest you crating provocation falls in would the key of attempts to boost military support from the was due to its own failures on the battle grounds. and now to the dawn bus front lines were russian forces achieved to break through this week. the private military group, wagner has taken control of the town of solid. dar, you can see footage from the ground after russia assume control. after the fall of the town, your credit soldiers offsets have moved west wagner. troops of the various anti

tank weaponry, reportedly, western supplied military equipment. the exclusive footage shows the wagner groups had done members inspecting underground mine. those previously used by key of troops to stole weapons. solider is an important location. gaining control over it, pays the way for russian forces to put the pressure on ukrainian forces. in the major town of our chalmers will bark moods of vital transportation. hope with a network of roads and railways used to supply routes. the head of the done yes. republic said that to florida versus military may be able to move towards servers and other key town. that sounds of common source and the answer would then be the next targets for the russian. army. ok aside, says the fighting excuse me for the holiday is still ongoing. amid reports of both sides have suffered heavy losses in the battle for the city involved disabilities of ukrainian fighters who are set to be missing or in caps if you have taken to the streets of yet and will, local media labeled or march of widows women were seen holding photos of their

husbands calling on the government to help bring them home. the protest hollow multiple eye witness accounts suggesting the kid is reluctant to retrieve some of his wounded and slain serviceman from the battlefield. he has the biggest military back in united states. don played the significance of the latest developments on the phone line. according to a pentagon, spokes person, the ukrainian armies latest defeats, would not have any impacts 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 and sell it are fall to the russians. it's not going to make a, i'm not going to have a strategic impact on the war itself, and it certainly isn't gonna stop ukrainians or, or slow them down in terms of their and their efforts to regain their territory was put 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 mobilized troops, finally appear on the battlefield. it was 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, 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 operation. so this is a,

this is a battle of tremendous significance and tremendous consequence for both sides. in the news, china's new form. and if there is wrapping up his 5 nation trip across africa, which is the last country on the checklist, was benny and join an official meeting with the countries presidents. he stressed the importance of chinese african cooperation, identify more f, his areas to strengthen bilateral type. 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, co operation, sho, 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 inverse 3 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. seen all the other hand, can they president seeking things, greetings to president iran and thanked, been in voice, understanding and support on issues involving china's interests and major concerns . teen said that china is willing to strengthen experience exchanges into painting and government support building in exploring and development path, se on national conditions. 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 of china corporation, and to encourage more powerful and reputable chinese companies to invest in that in this week, the chinese foreign minister also visited angola, noticing that both states have always enjoyed solidarity untrusted as well as

growing momentum in that mutual cooperation with chinese companies, making significant contributions to infrastructure upgrades in the country is african ship also includes a stop in ethiopia. we held a meeting with his ethiopian counterparts, and they discussed bilateral corporation on the joint experience. and governance bundle funds, you. china's that new foreign minister also met with the head of the african union commission and in an apparent swipe at u. s. involvement in the consonance. he states that no world power should force african countries to take sides in matters of geo politics. instead, thin as africa should be a place for promoting economic development it. oh yes. what african needs is solidarity and co operation, not confrontation? no country, no people have the right to force african countries in 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 with her, with china is built on this principles. while corporation between china and african nations is on the rise, the u. s. says that such actions are actually destabilizing the continent. the u. s . defense equity made those claims last month at the summit of african leaders in washington. we're witnessing the purity expand its footprint. a on, on a continent on a daily basis. and that creates problems that will be eventually the stabilizer if they're not already, or we say russia continuing to peddle cheap weapons, employ mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries, i think i've been watching and certainly i think their influence again, can be the stabilizer. chinese defense experts under long says that china's approach

to africa is more holistic than that's of western powers. thomas engagement with africa, it's very different. ah, from the west, tony looks at the relationship in a holistic way. he emphasis is always been on building at infrastructure notice capacity building for development. it will help the these countries to develop and also cost with force. ready closer ties between china and africa, their so called democracy as defined by the united states is only a facade, the channel to a certain americans influence to impose and the americans more go on on other countries. regardless of the m, the stages of development, the internal and political situation are the geography and so on, so forth. the african countries and other developing countries. they are more in debt and to less than a commercial lenders multiple times more than time. thomas become much more

a christ and allowing some sort of that relief. but also taking into account all the stakeholders interest. but overall, these loans are here, as i say, to wants building infrastructure within the country and connecting these countries to other neighboring countries. it would bring a lot of economic over 60 years since gaining independence, the democratic republic of the congo continues to feel the effects of grueling decades long conflicts. the sudden mineral rich region of the country was torn between former colonial powers and insurgents. ortiz trouble itself 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. 's, these 1000 mineral rich province of cassandra, 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 territory ally and by western colonized as an imperialist, 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. decay 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 lymphoma was beaten to the top and deposed by army general known as love 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 s it to further hasting the 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 than missionaries filled the congress, the united nations secretary general at the time. doug hamas called worked hard to change this west the narrative and called for peace. he even called for all foreign forces to leave the congo, but said 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 ended on the congo crisis raised 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 congo has the right to decide its own destiny and terrible. it had to party, enjoying the police sorrow movements which seeks independence in the disputed western sahara has begun. leadership talks over the weekend in algeria, it comes amid rising tensions between the house country and neighboring morocco, which occupies most of the region. now this is the 1st congress in

a context of war after more than 30 years of peace. the conflicts in western sahara ropes at almost 50 years ago when the colonial occupy of spain withdrew from the regions fucking years long war between the polar sorrow and morocco for control of the territory. then the un sponsored sci fi agreements in 1991. when most of the territory have been taken by the american government, which was backed by france on the us, now tensions have erupted again with people in the region demanding independence and fighting against colonization over political unless chris valley says the occupied territory is just used by the west to form the resources like in many other conflicts around the world. the people here in western sahara don't have the voice or the power to challenge western hegemony. and therefore they are powerless . and we see em, oftentimes, all over the world that people who have natural resources and people who have done

the things that the imperialist ones, united states in western europe, they come to plunder. so right now in the occupied parts of western sahara under morocco, multinational corporations of various countries including many european countries, are going and blundering the natural resources, including fishing, including minerals and or including agricultural products as well as tourism. basically on a stolen land, they are advancing their economic interest. so of course, they're not going to listen to this a how people here in the refugee camp, nor to the sad are people oppressed. they are going to continue to do what they've always done. not only here but around the world, and that is to plunder the resources and to continue the line of the imperialist. and finally, parents of young serbian football players were reportedly attacked on saturday by a group of knife wielding individuals shouting,

we were waiting for you. serves that was in the capital of bosnia and herzegovina. is how i witnesses explained what happened. since he done this, about $10.00 to $15.00 men with covered faces, entered the hotel pepper, sprayed the parents, and stopped one of them with a knife. it was really hel, our kids are very scared. there was panic among them in the hotel until the special forces came in calm. the situation last night was brick and there's just there was a children tournament in football where several teams from serbia came to join up and station regional touring. and so there were years from serbia was integration. so on present and they're meant. but unfortunately, not even these children's event who go without incidence. the parents or the children who are setting one of the hotels are in fact, late in the evening. and even got stepped by a group of students that were here knowing that they are served in there in this

hotel. and they said that we could be waiting for you. so that means that they were preparing this one before they did it. the parents were of course, stopped those sucks. some of them were wounded. their children were terrified in this beautiful opportunity for children from all around the region to join together and to share laps and enjoy. it was unfortunately missed and abused by this terrible event that animals are still listed this aside from all that happens before the police came, one officer said something really disgusting to me. it was a provocation. he got up close to my face and said, what do you want? pardon my language, but it was really like that. i didn't expect the police to react like that. his coworker, on the other hand, came up and reassured me with a hug. my kids were standing next to me and he said, calm down,

we will protect you. we're here now in situations like this, people really need to show their humanity above wells. rather with these one more gathered on the field because one of the children's teams from creation was recorded the same page. seeing the jumping, a song kill, kill, kill serves. and this incident was just one of the many in a cabin best night. and the mayor of the cottage needs to basically know would be tweets after the event, because 1st of all, she ignored the attack for several hours. and then afterwards she tweaked about it about in she has a date to say for one second and then he was about, so she didn't mention service at all. so some of the, from the side will not have the full context in mind when reading could be got

a he said she said her 1st week that he gets inside. i will work that. and then in the next week she said that people from bed with that so no indication of mentioned that it was sort of in children and serbian parents. that's what that and they weren't that executive because they were service. and the hooligans themselves said that they have them on it for that reason. and because of the so called propagation, although no serbian flags were brought to their flag on the team on the team that was playing. and the problem is that the letters on the flag were written in cyrillic and they can't remember the club and those who are going to thought that is a pro occasion. and the situation is currently that parents are deciding whether to go back to read. and if it's only the police of the conference and i will send that rest for the kids that are so there was

a group before we think of them and the more, more or less everybody's shocked by this why this events happening was the last night. well to rob for now, what have you doing this weekend? i hope you're having a good one. and that's all for me peter, scott. but nicky are in will be here in around about 30 minutes time with another look at this week's top stories or not. ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk

with you in elementary school, the teachers call me back problem kids. so i was labeled early. i ended up getting kicked out of school. i was 1617 and 18. those should have been my graduation high school years. but instead i'm on the streets selling crack, gang bang and bacon that i was going to make to see 21.
