as a new business a, when are you with a is this our most goes on by the u. s. accuses washington giving approval to here, but the facts on russian territory as civilian areas and domestic, once again, shell by ukraine pool is not in our furniture shop. office we are located right here on the 2nd floor. thank god. no one was inside when it happened. really just that a research group sounds. the alarm over rising number of christians killed in africa because of their faith. made concerns of increasing, religiously motivated violence around the world. and the un was of a dangerous cycle of violence in palestine west bank finally speak out against the

israeli government refusal to hand over the bodies of justice relative almost 21 years have passed. and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was monitored with. hello, i welcome to international broadcasting live from much there is just the hour. and as always, it's great to have you with us. i'm an army. let's take a look at today's top stories. first, the latest from the dumbass front lives, the head of russia's wagner paramilitary group has said his forces have gained full control over a strategically important suburb of the city of our team mosque, also known as well. the time of class is cut is less than 10 kilometers from our q mosque, which has been a little transport hub for the current military. the head of the volume group said

fist fighting is ongoing, made by areas privacy, the russian defense minister, confirm the wagner group made a solid contribution to taking the city a solider. another strategically important location in the region. ross's ambassador, the u. s. says washington has given keith direct approval for a tax on crimea using american weapons. he made those comments in response to an assertion by the us state department, the crimea is you quinn in territory and thus knocked off limits for the crating military offensive. commentators nameless hume, the russia will not retaliate for a tax in his territory. it should be obvious to everyone that we will destroy any kind of weaponry supply to the lensky regime by the americans are native. isn't it clear that pumping a crane with more weaponry? no matter where it is produced in the us or any other nature country will only lead to an increase in the deaths of civilians. the rhetoric of us officials is becoming

increasingly belligerent. after hearing such remarks from washington, the criminals and kia will feel complete impunity. the risks of the conflict escalating will increase once again. we're very lucky to have been joined by all seekers. what a dog quota. he's joining us now in the cedars to discuss the latest was the support for you. quinn imagery. donald, great to have you in the see it now, is they with the u. s. has told about providing these advanced patriot missile systems there, pressuring germany to do the same with tanks. well, i mean, well, the chances of this actually happening and will they be able to get them to help them put boots on the gravel in train them to do what they need to do? well, i think that is definitely a possibility. it might take a long time, but it presents a serious risk of significantly escalating this conflict. because according to media reports already, france is preparing to send tanks to key f and officially the u. k is already said, it's sending tanks to key of as well. and it's been pressuring germany like you

said to do the same, but also there are a lot of people that seem a little bit more reluctant to take this conflict to the next level as well. because we've heard from germany, which says that washington can send its own tanks 1st before we're going to send ours and washington itself. a saying no way. we just don't think we're there yet. the abrams tank is a very complicated piece of equipment. it's expensive, it's hard to train on. it has a jet engine. i think it's about 3 gallons to the mile with jet fuel. it's not the easiest system to maintain naturally, that's something that's upset quite a few german to feel that the u. s. is basically ready to sacrifice people at the altar of its own foreign policy agenda. we heard from one german m p who basically voice that opinion as well as implies that this is all really bringing us closer to a potential nuclear confrontation. western tanks could ultimately provoke the use of nuclear weapons primarily against germany. that seems to be the deeper reason

why washington is so reserved on the subject of supplying tanks, but as forcing its ally to make those sacrifices like a vassal. now the new york times also reported that the u. s. is willing to help key of strike targets in crimea, even if that risks escalating the conflict. then this is really a 180 from the u. s. s. position last year when they said they weren't going to that, they said they, they will supply ukraine with long range highmark missiles on the condition that they will not be used to strike targets on russian territory. now crimea is of course, russian territory if voted in the ref, in a referendum to become part of russia. so it looks like apparently bite and doesn't mind having this $180.00, if it's going to strengthen key position at the negotiating table. that was also in the new york times report, and we got to ask why. but, you know,

actually the german chancellor did good job explaining the west stance on all this, which pretty much makes sense. russia bad, the west of good in order for the war to end russia. aggression must fairly. that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our partners. it is extremely important that person to, to doesn't win this war. partly because it will be a tragedy for the acquaintance, but it will is very dangerous for us, because then the message to alter the italian, it is not only to putin but also all the author. diabetes is that when the use group or force when they are violating national law, they achieve what they want. and that will be a very bad and dangerous lessons. it will make, make the world more dangerous and also more vulnerable. if we want and negotiated peaceful solution to the war, ukraine, we need to provide military support. okay. that's the only way

a weapons are they all the way to peace. so with these recent developments and the fact that this conflict is essentially stuck in a stalemate, more or less, it's scary to imagine how far the west is willing to escalate all this just to spite russia. that's very interesting indeed. we'll see how things do pam out the next few days. donald, always a pleasure having you in the cedar again. just right now we heard from a talk, so host and political and say to steve gill earlier, he says that piece is not actually the objective western powers and the crank of it, but rather admits you victory over russia. i think most of the focus has been trying to hurt russia rather than find a peaceful conclusion to this conflict. and when you look at past conflicts around the world, there are always at least some discussions of how to be extricate from conflict from bombings from civilians. being injured and hard and it appears there's no talk

in this situation. certainly from the western powers or from, from america on how there is a pathway to pieced that can get in this or at least put it on. busy hold for a period of time to try and find some peaceful resolution. i think we're going to see significant progress in this conflict by the russians in the next couple of months. and i think that's why you're seeing maybe a bit of hysteria kind of a last ditch effort to get more weapons to support support chia and ukraine because they've not been very well on the battlefield despite the misinformation that western media and certainly european media have been putting out their less than the this call for more on suppliers still give civilian air is in dumb and persistently shelled by ukrainian forces. just in the last 24 hours, 11 residential defense than the national public came under fire. at least one woman was wounded in the attack. on t arabic correspondent sammy,

i would have visited the site of one of the reasons lights. awesome, because of all of the huddled ukrainian shelling of to nets can, nearby settlements is waging more and more destruction, especially in the wake of russia. haven't gain control new cities and villages in the republican world. no, not live in this. a lot of furniture shop offices were located right here on the 2nd floor. thank god. no one was inside, one happened security guard managed his i q. right. but other than that, it cool. i work not far from here. there were 2 rounds of shelling and 2 heads. we decided to come and help however, we could. it was a spontaneous decision and more than human visual jeanette civilians are constantly struggling to hide from the shelling and avoid the deadly explosives. scattered in the streets. with the continued shelling of civilians in the genetic republic proves kiev is determined to retaliate on the people in their property as he is facing losses along the entire front line. sammy of

d a r t in that screeching a new report has claimed that persecution of christians is on the rise with thousands of people killed over the past year because of their faith reports by the religious research group. open doors said that 5600 christians were killed last year because their faith is said, many of those crimes were committed bank streamers groups. it said that more than a $120000.00 people was displaced due to antique christian violence. and at least $15000.00 christians became refugees. now the revolt went as far as to say that in some regions, violence against christians is actually condemned. the african nations of somalia, a rich rear and nigeria were listed in the top 10 of the countries were christians, reports of the face, the most violence, the head of the research group said the rate of crimes against christians in africa

is horrific. i think even we were shocked by our own numbers, 7 out of 10 countries where there is the greatest violence against christians are in subsaharan, africa, violence can mean killings and a large percentage of those who were killed for their faith in the last year. we're in africa, but it can also mean rate, it can mean a reduction. it can be the destruction of property. now the research says 360000000 crystals space persecution and discrimination because of their life. now that's one and 7 questions worldwide, and i break that down by region one in 5. this is a persecuted in africa, 2 in 5 in asia and one in 15 in latin america. we heard from the head of a nigerian christian association who says the fact that christians are in danger and back country is because of a lack of security for the entire population. it is sorry,

no fortunate that in a country it has the constitution in the country that has the government from google. it. i have nothing you know, india school and could not really do nothing and they do it in the young or more than line. maybe a gets him and healing some of them and that becomes a good concern if give nothing, if we can, why kill the why do you plan to do with government? what is the kind of there was under that event in thank you said we was george and so we keep not active. could i miss enough to know so much as a bit concerned because the community i want it, but citizens generally what it because now given seems not to be secured at this

moment despite the concern about rising, religiously motivated violence in sub saharan africa, low who questions and if you have is nolan, great region probably celebrated the epiphany holiday this week. dedicated to the baptism of jesus christ. thousands of christians gathered for the event known locally as tin kit. it is widely celebrated by if you can orthodox christians as a period of religious revival and an occasion to give thanks to personal prosperity . i am in moscow epiphany celebrations are in full swing crowds of russian overdose . faithful gathered to take the traditional did the things in cold waters on the eve of a holiday off through church service. our correspondent steve sweeney was one of the 1st there to brave the i c waters and take the punch. well, as predicted, the temperature has dropped slightly. i can feel rain floating down to my body,

but i am making my way now to the ice poland. i'm going to dip myself into the freezing cold water. there are a men, the women of all ages are here to day, and many a row already made the plunge into the icy water and this kuza people. now as you can see, i'm prepared it's, it's very, very cold. and this is, as i've said, this is about the celebration of epiphany, which is an commemorating the baptism of jesus christ. there are many health benefits that come with diving into the water. so i'm told i'm i'm about to go in. so i'll let you know what it's like when i come out and, and, and how i feel like it, i feel a little bit invigorated. it's quite refreshing getting into the water and i'm plunging my head under 3 times. i can see the benefits of it. and i can see why many people come here and do this every year. are not promising the i will come

back and do it again. you can see many, many people here still waiting to, to get into the po, caesar. so it's not the 1st time i've dipped myself in the waters. it's the 6th time there are always emergency workers here. every one helps, almost identical. what's my youngest son and i try to dip ourselves in the waters every year. i think this is very important holiday for orthodox christians. it's a symbol of our faith as good as african and massive process have erupt, said in a rest, if eastern region of the democratic republic of congo near the ro, wonder border, hundreds of local residents have been demanding. the withdrawal of canyon lead international peacekeeping forces saying those troops and not doing enough to protect them from radical lessons. police is take, ask this verse the browsers demonstrates, is approached a major administration building in the city of gama jealous, covering the event said they were injured. at least 2 were reportedly detained by

the authorities. the unrest of field by knew that additional tooth from south to saddam were arriving in the area. garza mayor has bothered the demonstrations and the local government was being deceived by processes. we heard from residences say that the international peacekeepers and not doing enough to combat the insurgence. specifically from the m 23 militantly written form on phoebe today we're demonstrating against the a see her have come to us. but so far we have found that they are ineffective soldiers and do nothing on the ground apart from serving as a shield for the enemy on march. first of all is supporting the d r. c. army. so they can launch operations against the m 23 and show the e a c army that it has no reason to be here. oh, we are in the process of claiming all rights in relation to the regional force which had come to intervene in favor of the g, a. c army. we want this e. c force to be able to rector the front or go home. rush on got a policy,

we surprised to see how the police are refusing to allow us to demonstrate. we do not want to see kenyans marching in the streets of gomer. again, we're asking the government to say if they do not want to go to war against the m 23, and if not, then leave our city of goma. we don't want them to come like monasco. as a rule, the middle is now a you and representative in charge of coordinating peace of it's in the middle east has called for more accountability for violence by israeli soldiers against palestinians. he described the issue as a dangerous cycle of violence. the perpetrators of all acts violent as must be, had an account with the bowl to justice. security forces with exercise, maximum restraint the use of the course of all the rest. the other boys that live this by mounting and press israeli authorities have been withholding the bodies of

killed hausteen's. the families of the disease have condemned to that practice of the human rights violation of the middle east costs more if the notion or as the story on a sunny day like this 121 years ago. mohammed son shante left his home in a village near annapolis in the west bank and never came back. 2002 was the time of the 2nd intifada and massive palestine in uprising against israeli occupation. mohammed was told shoddy, had been killed by these rarely military during clashes between protesters and the army. the family started preparing for a funeral, but more than 2 decades on it still hasn't happened. the garage doors inside it was sort of almost 21 years have passed. and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was mod shirt. but we want to take him and bury him here in the town and read a prayer over his body and know that we return him. this is all new wish before would bid farewell to this world with their sun still not rested in peace. the parents

pain and anger has not been buried either, and will not go away. for you love these rather. so doing these to torture us more . if i had got back his body and buried him, we would have been able to move on. but since i have not got him back, how can i forget you booked? and so the now sir is our one of around a 1000 other palestine and families who have corpses of dead relatives, been withheld by his railey authorities, had practiced at 1st began in 1967 man women and children are among them. hussain from jerusalem legal aid and human rights sent a tells me those who were killed and clashes and rage, but also died in his railey prisons or hospitals. i left it out of the occupation authorities claim they will use these bodies as pressure and bargaining chips in future prison exchange deals with armed groups in gaza and as a policy of collective punishment for the families. we also expect this is the way

to conceal evidence, in cases of extra judicial executions carried out by the occupations soldiers in the cities of the west bank and $48.00 territories. there a salesman palestinian families about the issue of organ theft were little bit forgot to be on work. the center helps the families get the buddies of their loved ones back. they go to israeli courts negotiate with the army, police. some cases have 0 progress like shot is one for others, legal battles take months and years as of today, more than 300 but is still haven't found their way back home, captain israeli morgues, or buried at so cold cemeteries of numbers em near la mon. out obama, we only know about 4 known cemeteries which are military areas that have forbidden to enter. these corpses were buried in an inappropriate manner at a close distance from the surface of the ground. in this cause, many cases of corpse is being washed away and lost in heavy rains and through predatory animals that could dig up the graves. bob goodman fidel is rose,

as it has legal authority to hold it. but his palestinian families seed as a violation of international laws and they are human rights. all those we talk to while thurman this report told us they thought that bearing their beloved ones is the worst thing. but now they see that losing them forever without a chance to say a proper good bye is a bit more painful. but even when a family is successful and receives a body back, they could still be issues. a sam awaited for 37 days for these railey army to return the body of his youngest son, but could not recognize him. it was flows in his was goober, vice ducks us for 5 days to defrost the body. because we need the pick of seed for, for him. well, if the autopsy show show, he was good for like 3 bullets from back and dec long distance. our summer shows me. i'm just room and the clothes he was returned in with holes

from the bullets. he believes his 14 year old son, a regular protest, her against israeli occupation was assassinated by special forces in an ambush prior to and after his death, israel arrested many of i'm just friends. some other is also died. some of the buddies were never returned. this crime against him on it. when someone kill your son and store his body. it's that was before for his brothers his cousins, his friends, to do something. and that's what's happening. the da da, the by these to, to fuel the violence and we contacted different israeli institutions asking for a comment on the state practice of detaining bodies. they didn't reply back, mary from ocean r t from the west bank. ah, you are a 1st, joe biden has reportedly failed in his attempt to convince nato allies in melbourne to comply with washington microchip,

sanctions against china. but school into the you are state media outlet, voice of america. the report said there was quote, no progress on netherlands, but in the us chick x, what i'm on china by then had hosted does crime is a mark right in the white house that talks about supposed challenges from china in the, in the pacific region, the u. s wants to respect my friendship. so it says, could be the defense industry. changing has been out the measures as a violation of economic norms and called the will trade organization to intervene. china is in a particularly lucrative market for duction semiconductor equipment. make a s m l. the company had more than $2000000000.00 of sales to china in 2021. washington unilaterally imposed restrictions several months ago saying it wouldn't push any allies comply but reported the expect to the netherlands. and japan to

follow suit. a major dutch industry group fmi has called for the used issues, a routing about whether to receive micro chip experts in china. same quote. european autonomy is at stake. we heard from jupiter, who, expert earl, arrives, newsome, who says the dutch government appears more interested in promoting economic ties and following discriminatory orders from washington. fmi technology association is looking for the you itself to come forward and having a consistent policy, which from understanding they do not. i mean, as with a s m l, i would not want to be playing this geopolitical game. and here i want to do business, and i want to provide the best opportunities here. so i think there's a lot of business already. businesses that are complaining about within a call away across europe. this would just be one more instance on top of that from

one of the actually the largest, one of the largest semiconductor providers in the, you know, in the industry in the world. and so this is, this is i just put to bad taste, i think across the industry. and i think would further further aggravate geopolitical law, tensions, and industry tensions within europe and, and also ultimately with between european partners and the us. well, that's all from me today. i've next really say will be here with you in the most with i'm rather mommy with new or late with

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on a very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with

ah myself. are they only like we're young for the young woman was in a network that has gotten myself or sort of been a little bit late because of it. when i go below vanessa is an oakwood village. so glad aisha african look about it. i don't live here so it would mean a support system phone with abilene i, she's question that. ok, so what is the best time with you that you don't can be come up, loosened up and be a couple of somebody and p community that the comma a lovely,

not all, but you supposed to? these are the keys affected to clean the for chloe, gentle tulsa, soaking at them. what to do? what are some of the film? a pretty complicated with a male c is a serious. remember, look, i made a saw go. you may see pasco is what based on if you see their metal, i presume, receipts in the mushroom. and yeah, we'll probably knows. i'm not sure what it is when you're ready for the door fully out of the choice meeting with us. that's a disclaimer. but i was thinking it wouldn't just let me know right now. happening world mostly was was the question answer is, any big us to work for you, we'll go from

when a kimberly is using food supplies. so in style are doing, developing jones with keith latham began, surveyed the guys in russia, russia, russian reason why the food, gracious it. this is because of russia. since spring 2022, the west been accusing russia provoking a wealthy crisis. allegedly, this major grain producer is deliberately creating a deficit. price is a soaring and poor countries, particularly are experiencing bread shortages. this over simplification as being broadcast worldwide put his russian grain really the new front of economic war

the bonus for a poison for the yukon. the president dunphy senior thing finished. i shouldn't need you before that as e generally would you wonder there's more reading all of us keith region. look into it now you've changed much them, but the us come did worse. indeed. go, us call us kara though that each the pier chase seemed voice. him do it. that's a huddle she. thunder nicholas. even i thought thought for pregnancy selves of russia stover. pl region. one of russia's main agricultural areas, wheat field stretch did arise them. a new russian crop is ripening up was, could go quick after we only get off our poor prize war store. as you know, it was door for some of our door walk up.
