lisa 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 france, russian troops have advanced to the northern outskirts of the city of our team, of sky and the soul railway station. oh, 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, the city of our arch or mosque is a far 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 barack battle grounds of their will allow the russian armed forces to advance further its wards. the cities of fast law down scans are crumb a source kanza. that's a yet another major stronghold of the ukraine and military and the currently an

occupied territory of the darnedest 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 rockets fired against this territory. on saturday, several of the countries regions declared the emergency on that day, and also emergency electricity blackouts were declared in kiev as well as at 7 other regions. now, footage in social media in ukraine also showed a partially destroyed residential building in at nap proper troughs. ukraine and officials 1st blamed russia for the direct destruction of the building. but sir thorpe 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 he was below no pull in the police. the missile was shut down, but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. authorities in ukraine

were equipped to disagree with the speaker that you've just heard, and the mayor of never petrov kaz, already called for a restore bridge to be investigated by the country's security services. meanwhile, russian military officials have as stated thyme. and again, that says civilians are never, that's argus 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 of this provocation, as they called it, was a plant in order to accuse russia of failing the,

a so called grain deal 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. 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 returned to keeps control due to successful negotiations that sir took place of 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 for export. russia has vehemently deny delegation. so in general, the latest ukrainian provocation falls in i would the key of attempts to boost

military support from the was due to its own failures on the battle ground. while, as our correspondent mentioned this week, so russian troops feel a significant victory on the front lines and they don't yet square public. the wagner military group took the key town of sola, under its control. according to the russian defense ministry of troops, assisted locked in forces in winning the battle for the salt mining town. hey, some of the latest footage from the scene showing damage to residential property. after months of heavy fighting, ukrainian troops abandoned some western supplied weapons and ammunition as they fled the town. moscow save the wagner troops were instrumental in winning the battle for sala dol, which paved the way for the russians to push further into the nearby strategic city of auto mall, which ukraine calls back loot and is heavily defending with deeply entrenched positions. so mine stretchable kilometer beneath the town of solar door and were previously used by ukraine's troops to store weapons upon winning the battle,

said the volcanic re pound is directed, descended into the mines to inspect them off. they were clear of kiev sports as well. meanwhile desperate relatives of ukrainian fighters, he was said to be missing or in captivity, have taken to the streets of care and what local media label to march of the widows . women were seen holding photos of their husbands calling on the government to help bring them home. the protests follow multiple eye witness accounts suggesting that key will look since to retrieve some of its wounded and slain service men from the battlefield. while family members of a russian soldier whose being being held captive by ukrainian troops say that they extorted by individuals threatening to kill the military prisoner. moscow responded to the incidents by calling on the international community to persuade tier to respect, respects the geneva conventions, which called for the humane treatment of p. o w's. the russian prisoner's family

has released the following footage, which you might find distressing. lucy, oh, you're fine. jim later, she running joyously. not your horse. sure, sure. her, she knew lucy vastly wrong. you're rich go. we're like that. he won't leave you my is because this is because you thought. 7 that she who has how's the dainty bit islam. so go, oh awesome. wish source hosted engine. this is dr. ross, this is dora. mom, mom on the issue. that young genius registered to your pursuers. wooster at almost to mercy barbershop of rosters,

saw the relatives say they also received this the image allegedly depicting be captured at russian's folder with his head, veiled and taped. on the 1st time, ukraine's troops have been accused of abusing russian prisoners of war. previous incidents showed some pir w's being beaten, and tortured or even executed in cold blood after i had already surrendered. these cases have been documented and condemned by the united nations rushes human rights commissioner has issued a statement commenting on the latest video. i call on the ukrainian parliament commission of human rights, the un, the use unto torture committee, and the red cross to immediately demand ukrainian compliance with the geneva convention which prohibits the use of torture, violence and action, degrading human dignity or human rights le duncan valley told us that ukrainian military atrocities are directly linked to western military aid, which allows the crimes to be, to go unpunished. as follows,

a pattern certainly going back to 2014, when the current regime was installed with the help of the united states. this is not a democratic government, this is a government that imprisons opposition. leaders that has tortured civilians, killed civilians. we know that the government of kias has been attacking its own people in the dom bass. since 201414000 people died even before the special operations began. that goes against the narrative that the west is trying to maintain. and that is this. you know, man, i can view the world where the ukrainians are the good guys, the russians of the bad guys. and this allows, you know, the justification for tens of billions of dollars military a to continue to flow to ukraine. it's nato weaponry that is allowing the ukraine military to continue to fight and to continue to carry out war crimes. u. s.

continues to suffer very serious economic and social problems that need to be addressed and people want those things to be address, want money to go to those problems. and last semester, people want money to be going to military assistance to ukraine. at least 68 people are confirmed dead and a plane crash near an airport in the capital of nepal. we had from several russian eye witnesses at the crash site in county, where we're at the scene of the airlines playing crash, as it was flying from cap mander to pull hierarchy behind me. you can see the site where the police were sifting through the remains of the plains wing highlighting this area. it was at this point that the plane crashed. it fell on the opposite bank of the river north of police. the police have court and all the crush side, and the rescue operation is still ongoing. we can see several ambulances as well as a fire truck. however, the blaze was quickly contained, has the plane was flying from customer to and had already spend all of its fuel on

the way. 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, 4 of the plains passengers are still listed as missing while the search and rescue operation has been suspended until mon monday morning. some of the bodies that already been recovered were delivered to hospitals, where the relatives of the victims had gathered the country's deadliest chain crash in more than 3 decades. meanwhile, this unverified homage as the teacher powered, he shows the final moments before and immediately after the tragedy. the plane was reportedly trying to make an emergency landing before it felt the ground on the edge of a river gorge. napoleon government has declared monday

a day of mourning and resorted inspections of old domestic aircraft. meanwhile, some upsetting footage allegedly filmed inside the plane just before it crushed his now circulating on social media. he's on verify the image is said to have been filmed by one of the passengers and apparently show the last moments of calm before a sudden flash of light as the plane bursts into flames. i see correspondent runjun sharma has more details of the tragic crash. a 80 or 72 of the yeti, a line that was on the road from the capital city of near bol got mondo to book rock. and that stretch takes about 20 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,

the plane towards the set is reward and that's where the crash was reported around 11 e. m. local dying when the banks of the set, you know what this was only about one and a half kilometers from the borger, our airport, where the plane was supposed to land. now as far as the civil aviation authorities of ne paul, there was 15 foreign nationals and 4 crew members. these foreign nationals included . 5 indians served for russians, 2 quadrants, and some other nationalities as well. and now as far as the prime minister of ne bothers concerned, a push become a little hard. he's held an emergency meeting with his cabinet and are monitoring the situation very, very closely near police army as well as police. and also, some locals really trying to help in the rescue operations there at this stage that are differing reports on how many dead bodies have been pulled out

a. but at this stage it would be very difficult to see whether anyone has survived or not. of course, the chances of that a very bleak, very, very unlikely. what happened without being in a school whose details are still very sketchy at this point. but of course we keep following all the updates and we keep our viewers updated on that. with both who in financial aircraft accident investigated 5, been a masoud about the possible causes leading to the accident on the current condition of napoleon, a vacation fleet this be a drop in sales space was about 15 and a half years or so. not really. if i were to say the issue with new boys and i've been there for a while. if you look at numbers at the last, about 8, give me give a crashes 166 people as bad as the previous 12 years. so that's

a big number. 70 to be a good fit, had had something to lose in the bash related to icing conditions. the icing which is the challenge in $8070.00 degree exact, specifically $500.00 and below the one that we lost today. it relates to unwanted maneuvering up in a specially slow speed, low cloud fog, rain value been these kind of issues also player. and it grows to be even more challenging, especially when you have infrastructure because less one thing on the board gas domains as well. rush and gas supplies will eventually return to europe. that's the conclusion made by kat energy minister. he said the western sanctions are going to last long. the

europeans today are saying there is no way we're going back to rush and gas. we're all blessed to have to be able to forget and to forgive. and i think things get mended with time. they learn from that situation and probably have a much bigger diversity, but trash and gas is going back in my view to europe. speaking at the global energy conference and go how the katasha minister warned that they won't be any new l n g storage is for europe until at least 2025 is comes in at the u. k. decision to stop buying oil from india is largest refinery. which impose the commodity from russia? this new scheme would mean britain will be buying russian. phil obit indirectly defying london's own sanctions against moscow. but it's not cross at 2 profess banking, and they can all make the university of winchester, richard bern. anomaly, thanks for joining us. on the program and now cut off at any given us the confidence that europe will return to russian gas will,

fewer assessments of that statement. but i think the contrary energy minister who's hitting the the oil and gas company is really looking at the facts and the reality. and he's very much aware of the european demand and requirement for energy. and the reality is, as he points out, that the us supplies that everyone is now preparing for do take time. i mean there's not enough for shipping terminals to, to that receive it. and so there's, there's a whole number of logistics issues you conscious overnight switch to american or the gas supply. so the reality is the gap that the gas from russia will be needed. and we really see in the am u. k. india, a case that these indirect measures are now being taken where

essentially russian gas is being imported. but it's just not admitted. that is russian gas because it 1st goes to from russia to india, is refined there. and then important, the reality is that until 2025, it will be difficult to replace russian gas. the winter has been somewhat mild this year. so it wasn't so far hasn't been a big crisis for europe. but overall, the demand is significant. hey, what do you make of the timing of the guitar? a minister statement? can we wait until to tell them? well, and i think m, i think he is probably looking at simply the, the oil and gas markets. so i wouldn't really, i mean, i don't know whether there's any other strategic reason for place, comments and,

and they may have seen that. and, and it's really truly aware of the the deal between britain and india and the russian exports to india. she may have been referring to that because essentially it's coming true reading visit. he's saying, i think it's just the fact of the need for energy in europe. the germany economy has a huge demand for of gas, and the russian supplies half being reduced artificially as, as europe and germany has shut them out and somebody bomb the nor stream pipelines. so, you know, the gas is still needed. i think that comment is in many ways sensible. he's saying one way or another, it's going to happen. they might know all it that, that might not admit it, but it's going to happen that we see the india is important. crudo from russia

increased further in december 2022, hoping 1000000 barrels per day for the 1st time ever. as moscow remained, its top oil supply up for the 3rd month in a row. why do you think europe is in no hurry to return to buying russian fuel when other countries are stepping up there any trade with moscow? well, i think the, the situation is that many european responsible decision makers would like to, but they're simply not allowed. and the, and essentially the him on the ruler of the empire, the united states is not allowing it. the european countries are essentially us vessels. and the usaa saying, nope, you know, going to have russian gas supplies by our more expensive gas in 2 years time. and get ready for it now, which is cause a very harsh demand from the us and, and that's why the category minister is saying, well, it's hard work. you know,

there will be other measures taken, such as the back door, you know, and to, to receive. for example, russian gas via the country at the telegraph has published in our school titled india offers russian oil a back door into britain. and according to the report, the u. k is stepping up in ports from india's biggest refinery, which bio crude from russia. how can a fox effect person relationship with the rest of europe, which has refused russian oil? yes, well and the, the refusal of russian oil is a political decision and it is sort of designed to somehow punish russia. but the reality is that there is plenty of demand in the world for russian exports . it doesn't really make sense on that town. and the other reality in europe needs gas and it,

russia is not allowed to send it to europe. it has to come from somewhere else. and that's why i'm sort of with the contrary minister on this, you know, it's going to happen one way or another. and they said this comes in midwest, connect with the cape, supporting ukraine against russia, of course. so in that context, how would you assess the u. k to a poor decision to buy russian oil indirectly it shows that even the u. k. is, i mean, it's very embarrassing, you know, if the case forced to do this because it's clearly, you know, it's well, because the argument will be, oh, it's not russian, it's in the, in the find oil. but of course, we all know that the crude or that was refined and comes from russia. and likewise with gas. and you know this, i think we will see the same sort of passive bent. the allies of us will try to come up with excuses and ways that can wrangle to get russian gas because it is

the cheapest. it is if you wanted and you know you can and if you can get the americans to allow it, then it is the best option with a speaking say, professor of banking and they can all make for the university of winchester, which had been in many thanks for the time, always a pleasure. thank you. thank you very much, fisher. oh, china's new foreign minister is wrapping up his 5 nation trip across africa. the last country on the checklist was the name, doing an official meeting with the countries president. he emphasized the importance of chinese african relations in order to identify more areas in which to boost cooperation. what jenna bob painting with my proposal is that we work together to promote synergy between beneath strategic development plan and the belt in road initiative. and the achievements 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. president touches still on a venue has met with visiting chinese foreign minister teaching down in colton. it on said that the new chinese foreign ministers visit cutting size with the 50th anniversary of the assumption of diplomatic nations between the 2 countries. many looked forward to be learning from finance, experienced, deepening, and expanding practical corporation and accelerating national development and revitalization. tino the other hand conveyed presidents eating things greetings to president alon and thanked. been in for weights, understanding and support on issues involving china's going chests and major concerns. king said that china is willing to strengthen experience. it changes in the beginning and governance support meaning in exploring a development path. acetic or national conditions to size also signed publishing document, 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 early this week, the chinese foreign minister also visited angola painter to pitt. both states have always enjoyed solidarity and trust as well as goring momentum and then mutual cooperation is african triple. so included a stop in ethiopia, where he had a meeting with his contact. china's a foreign minister also met with the head of the african union commission. and his wife at u. s. involvement in the continental stated that no world power should force african countries to take sides in matters of geo politics. instead saying africa should be a place for promoting economic development it. oh yeah. what african needs is solidarity and corporation 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 computing 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's built on this principles, families of young serbian football players were reportedly attacked on saturday by a group of 15 and knife wielding individuals shouting. we were waiting for you. serbs and the capitol of bosnia and herzegovina, his house. some of the parents described the incident. what do you see there? 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 help 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 then we think there was a children tournament in football where several teams from serbia came to

join the regional tournament. so they were years from serbia integration. so on present. and they're meant. but unfortunately not even these children who go without incidence. the parents of the children were setting one of the hotels and they were effect late in the evening. and when they even got stepped by a group of those that were here, knowing that they are served in their, in this hotel and, and they said that we have been waiting for you. so that means that they were preparing this one before they did it. the parents were of course, shocked. those suck. some of them were wounded. their children 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 nostromo system 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, come down, we will protect you. we're here now in situations like this, people really need to show their humanity above all else. rather, one more happened on the field because one of the children's teams from creation was recorded the same page, same and tracking the song, kill, kill, kill serves. and this incident was just one of the men in the cabin best night. and

the mayor of been in a cottage need to basically know who the current tweets after the event. because 1st of all, she ignored the that for several hours. and then afterwards she to me to the body about in candidate to say for one second, then he was about service. he didn't mention service at all. so some of the, from the side will not share the full context in mind when reading could please. because he said she said in her 1st week that you get inside work. 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 serbia parents went back to the work that executive cause . they were service. and the hooligans themselves said that they have them on.
