tracy, this offense, very dramatic development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very particular time to sit down and talk with the headlines. zonati international. the wagner power military group reports taking a key suburb audit, job office, also known as voc locals from a trouble ticket, who was safely evacuated. they took up, i went to share their stories with i'm from our to us yesterday. wagner evacuation forces came many thanks to them for pulling the south. otherwise we would have died there. must go down. bassett, us, or america. acute is washington of giving approval to key of for a tax on russian territory including crimea. what to some according to potentially wiring escalation. also in the programs for lanka has high hopes for securing

a much anticipated load from the i m f as the external affairs minister from india steps and to help the country deal with its economic crisis. with starting away in the evening out here at moscow with all top stories now for 6 p a moscow time. it's great to have with us straight now to the front lines of on bass, where the head of rushers, wagner, power military group has said that his forces have gained full control over a strategically important suburb of the city offices, also known as a moot meantime, the town of cliche, africa, it's less than 10 kilometers from artist hill bowski. it's been a vital transport hub for the crating military. the head of the wagner group said fist fighting is ongoing in nearby areas. and previously, the russian defense ministry confirmed that the wagner group made a solid contribution in taking the city of sola dod,

another strategically important location in the region. meanwhile, locals from the city of actual offices, widely known as bach, mood have thanked the group for helping them to evacuate. yes, good deal mosque. i'm from our to mosque yesterday. wagner evacuation forces came many thanks to them for pulling us out. otherwise, we would have died there when we left the house and came under fire from the cracking ukrainian nationalist group. we had to drop down to the ground during the sheli. we crawled about 3 to 400 meters during the day. and at night we walked a very long distance and my grandmother couldn't even walk. we carried her on a stretcher, were very thankful to the wagner group through a through during the vacation, were taken out by the wagner group. god bless them. the shelling has not seen for a 2nd or the last 4 days, although we showed no signs of being part of the military when you and was ukrainian forces that were shelling, fortune to the little. it's very difficult in our chill musk right now. just like in mar, you pull. maybe even worse since august, we have been living in the basement of our house,

not going out anywhere. ukrainians were shooting at us civilians because most likely they have political issues against us. we were evacuated by the wagner group . they came at night, they said we need to leave urgently. we were getting out of the ruins. as soon as we came out of the basement, the ukrainian started shooting nearby. but i rushed ambassador to america as washington has given kiev direct approval for attacks on crimea using american weapons. you made those comments in response to an assertion by the u. s. state department that crimea is ukranian territory and therefore is not off limits. commentators nameless humor that russia will not retaliate for texas territory. it should be obvious to everyone that we will destroy any kind of weaponry supplied to dis. 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 u. s. or any other nato country will only lead to an increase in the death of civilians? the rhetoric of u. s. 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, a lot of people regarding my comment just now is calling it a potentially wiring escalation. we know about the patriot missile systems and theoretically tanks from america, theoretically, they're all being cold full by zelinski and kiya. what's the latest here? right, well the, so both actual supply of tanks from the u. k. and potential supply of tanks that we could see from other countries in the last really does present a serious possibility for an escalation and the current conflict. according to reports, france is already getting ready to send tanks to key of and like i said, just now the u. k. has said it's sending tanks officially to ukraine and has actually been pressuring germany to do the same. now at the same time this, not everyone in the west has been, has expressed as such willingness to take this conflict to the next level because we saw berlin say that bail only send their tanks to ukraine if washington agrees

to do so. and washington is saying, we're not going to do that right now. 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. this stands that washington has taken has actually upset quite a few germans who basically think that the u. s. is trying to sacrifice other people at the altar of its own foreign policy agenda, one german m p. a basically voice that opinion and also suggested that this is really risky. bringing us closer to a 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, one of the main questions we have to ask is why, why is the west allowing for such an escalation right now?

and actually the german chancellor explained pretty well the west position on, on this. and it's quite simple. basically, they see the west as good, and they see russia as bad in order for the war to end russia. us aggression must fail. that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our partners. it is extremely important that preston to it and doesn't win this war party because it will be a tragedy for ukrainians. but when very dangerous for us. because then the message to open italian need, there's not only to putin but also on the author. tiny. this is that when they use brute force, when they involve it's international law, they, it, she, what they want. and that'll be a very bad and dangerous lessons. it'll later make the world more danger, some else more vulnerable. if we want to negotiate that peaceful solution to the war, the crane, we need to provide military support. okay, that's the only way

a weapons are. they are the way to peace. so the nato champion stolen bug right there, donald, basically saying that more weapons and more death all the way to peace. and just before him, donald r o left sholtes, jemma, chancellor. the man looking surprisingly optimistic, didn't his job, didn't his defense minister just quit? yeah, that's right, and you know, this kind of rhetoric combined with these recent developments of the potential massive i've a future supplies of western tanks to the ukrainian military. all that combined really makes it scary to wonder. how far will the west go just to spite russia at the end of all this? earlier we were talking to a young us with conan editor in chief of finish news website m v. letty. now he says while the takeover of key cities in don bass is a major development for russia. the western media is down playing it. of course, who in the military muse bottom has a very big importance and it's difficult for,

for the foreign media to western media to accept the full bottom would. oh, bad. but like i said, when we're talking about lobbying from a doors we are talking about food duration of dorm was. and that is exactly what the western propagandists are afraid of. they try to keep the beacher. that prey has steal a bus ability to win a war against russia, each grade being to do but, but that's what exact exactly what they are doing. trying to convinced that their east says to send all these millions of dollars and a western military oh weapons to, to get key of troops. a un representative in charge of coordinating peace efforts in the middle east has called for more accountability of violence by israeli soldiers. against palestinians, you describe the issue with a dangerous cycle of violence. the perpetrators of all acts of violence must be

heading. the counter will be brought to justice. security forces with exercise maximum restraint. the use of the course of all was the voice of a little big life. despite mounting international pressure, israeli authorities have been well withholding the bodies of killed palestinians. the families of the deceased have condemned that practice is a violation of human rights. let's learn a little bit more about this troubling story with the middle east correspondent maria financial on a sunny day like this 121 years ago mohammed sun. shoddy left his home in a village near nablus in the west bank and never came back. 2002 was the time of the 2nd intifada and massive palestinian uprising against israeli occupation mohammed was told shot he had been killed by these railey 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 door soon said it

was full of almost 21 years have passed. and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was mod should, 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 before you love you on these rallies. so doing this 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 give it up to him. so then now sir, is i one of around a 1000 other palestinian families who have corpses of dead relatives, been withheld? base railey authorities had practiced that 1st began in 1967 man women and children are among them. hussein from jerusalem legal aid and human rights and to tells me

those who were killed and clashes and rage, but also died in his railey prisons or hospitals elected out. if 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 also says among palestinian families about the issue of organ theft were little bit forgot to be on 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 nellum on out

a bar mac. 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. now israel says it has legal authority to hold it, but is palestinian families seed as a violation of international laws and they are human rights. all those we talked to while film in 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 rarely army to return the body of his youngest son, but could not recognize him. it was close in his was cooper, ice,

booked us for 5 days through different full body because we need the pick up, sued for him. what did you want us to show? show he was good for like 3 bullets from back and close distance. i saw ma 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, irregular protests against israeli occupation was assassinated by special forces in an ambush prior to and after his death. israel arrested menu of i'm just friends. some others also died. some of the buddies were never returned as crime against humanity. when someone kill your son and stole his body, is that what you perform for his brothers, his cousins is fans to do something. and that's what's happening. the 10s of these to, to fuel the violence in the area. we conduct a different israeli institution,

is asking for a comment on the state practice of detaining buddies. they didn't reply back very from ocean r t from the west bank over here on the program and discuss this and more with i'm out of the wake director of the palestinian independent commission for human rights . he's now joining us live on the international i. mr. drake, it's a pleasure to see you. thanks very much for joining us there on this program tonight live from moscow. you've been hearing the stories. my 1st question just to straight off the bat would be 15. 15 palestinians have already been killed in 2023 . it's only the middle of january mar. what does that say about the prospects for the year? do you think well actually with the 2 palestinian war 2, but it's in working today. the number 17, it seems that the 2023 will be a bloody or light went to 222021 like any under israeli occupation.

last year, 230 palestinians were shot and killed with gold blood by israeli soldiers. and as a settlers with no accountability to the traitors, we expect that this will continue through this year, and it might escalate, due to the political changes in israel and the escalation in the open incitement against palestinians, by israeli politician. and also with the changes in the open fire policy that took place in december 2021, which eventually made skinning any palestinian by end is really the soldier at any circumstances. legal and so we expect 2023 to be a bloody. we spent 21 to 3, also to see more confiscation of land for, as i said, the buildings. and i believe that without meaningful and

genuine pressure from international community is it is, will continue as they used to act against the unions commit to more and more crimes against humanity, crimes against international law with complete competitive. well, i'm not, i wanted to ask you, i mean, you talk about pressure from the international community or perhaps lack thereof, as you well know, the united nations recently passed a motion involving 70 countries calling for accountability from tel aviv for that of id f soldiers. they must be held responsible for the violence classes with palestinians. that is 70 countries. mister dwayne, does that mean the world? if it's finally getting united on this to state conflict? well, this is not something new. we have here this from the war for decades and repeated the resolutions from the un general assembly from un security council,

even from the highest shall, buddy in the world, the i, c, j, the national court of justice, the all the may, the all made the decisions and solutions against is ryan calling for the end of the patient and officer to man, but to say need to send the termination. but nothing has materialized because simply all these decisions just shallow or open so often statements without any consequences on the zain, is there has been no legal implications on that. there's been no sanction nor penalties against a law official act with complete impunity. knowing that all of these resolutions just statements that there has no implication on the growth of the country. we see it unfortunately more countries having bilateral agreement with

israel and exchanging military and security agreements with them or by military or spite technology from those rated. and without the regard to the dimension law, the national requires that all states need to act against violations committed by israel. need to take actions to 1st not typical denies any changes on the ground by the israel is and also to take action in terms of the bulk of the thing, cooperation or imposing sanctions on the israel is we do see, you know, if it sanctions we see you know, implications not as this just meant the resolution president bus in his statements before the general assembly in december. he said, clearly is that you said a challenge, the national community to enforce one dissolution only one solution. we have over

500 the resolutions and favorable, satisfied, but nothing good. one of them has been enforced. so what we asked for is the enforcement of international law enforcement with the national logic wires, the will of countries, individual countries to take action. whereas, which way, i mean, i'm not seeing anything, although we'll jump in with that way. but i mean, as you say, i don't disagree with what you're saying here. but i, i do want to highlight the fact that 70 countries involved at the un have all, as a collective group, said israel, you have to have accountability when your troops class with the palestinians. now, mr. drake, i, as you said a few moments ago when you talk about the prospects for this year, you went back and said, well look, it's been decades of violence, it's been going on for far too long. this is to state dispute, but i should ask you if the violence has been going on for so many decades, mr. wake, should any of the blame for violence and confrontations?

be a portion to the palestinians because there's always so much emotion that gets involved and things do get out of hand very quickly. and often ton deadly didn't. could you a portion any blame to the palestinians or is it only towards israel? well i think palestinians has accepted 2 state solution, recognized the right of israel to exist and engaged in the peace process. what we have seen in return is more settlements, more confiscation of palestinian land and all propagation to palestinians. you cannot blame people who are under colonial evasion and who are facing and above tied the system that offers of li kids and the palestinians and confiscated their property in the ends are in the state of self

defense. although they are almost defenceless. they don't have any arms to face one of the strongest armies in the world. and one of the most sophisticated military and security system. you can always blame the victim, which is easier for, for anybody in the west and who is unwilling to take action or to take what is required to take under the national law. but i think blaming palestinians will, will lead to, to just more suffering to fantasy, more bloodshed. and we have seen this bloodshed which has been placed for decades will continue. i think what is required now as we need, we ask for one thing to think enforcement of international law enforcement view or resolutions, enforcement of the international court of justice,

resolution on you and general assembly resolution. this is a simple add. this straight forward, the requirement you know, as a human rights activist, i really, i don't advocate for a particular political solution, but what i advocate for is, and okay patient and then for the national law and service and law should be enforced for all for our students and for israel and all students and israel is required to, to adhere to the principles of international law. but if you look at the situation and statistics, you can tell who is really violating and committing what crimes and degree of the you let us about your role. let's talk about your role mister wake. you want director of the palestinian independent commission for human rights as a human rights organization. do you and all interact with the israeli side? and if you do, how effective is the communication when

my organization is the national and how my restitution is kind of was a official body. so we have little interaction with those really side. however, we have the good working relations with israel in human rights groups. and also patterson and humorously conditions service i don't is asian also have the good working cooperation with israeli motorized groups. but when it comes to the official side, israel official side, it is very difficult. the relation we have sometimes to interact with israeli judiciary or with israeli military administration in the west back because we have no other option. like for example, the report that you that you, that was before my interview about seizing the dead bodies, authenticity and victims. humorous goals, they have to interact with those religion to show in order to release them. although success is always, most cases is not guaranteed. israeli human rights groups like they sell him. as

2016 took measure strategic decision when they decided to stop cooperation with as a lead military because they found that ellen over 90 percent of the claims or correspondence is that a lot of the army there was no investigation. and that in most cases that the very few cases that decided to investigate, they ended up in the closing them. so at some human, as the group decided that they would stop cooperation with israeli military establishment or the lady justice system. because group included that there's really just a system in unwilling and incapable of enforcing of international law. this is how many oh do and are you into not officially?

yes. so it's, it's sort of jumping and i do ask for your, your forgiven to say, but the truth is we, we've been covering these stories or knowledge into national, wet wet too many times the people involved are not held to account, but now with a movement at the un and 70 countries involved perhaps there will be a brighter light at the end of the tunnel for all those palestinians effected i'm out of the wake of the director of the palestinian independent commission for human rights. a real pleasure having you on the program tonight. thank you very much for your time. and thank you for your time as well. the us state department has expressed concerns over as in bob ways reluctant to take action. in a case that's over 5 years old. that is investigating the exploitation of women. a day came back to 2016. so situation surrounded 200 women who reportedly trapped and abused in q 8. the report out of washington state in bob boy's government is meddling and bringing the case to conclusion does come to make us accusations of

rise and corruption in the country that has been on the western sanctions but decades for alleged human rights violations of a sport light on the country from washington has come at a time off as in bob way introduced gold coins last year, which are now in great demand and selling sometimes more than $2000.00 each. the countries central bank made the move to introduce them to stop the collapse of the local currency and reduce dependence on the american dollar. and i was talking earlier to a political scientist, richard milan bay, who says the coin to helping both the country deal with inflation. now you can have using the local current or the multi currencies within our us get of currencies to pay just the gold coins. so it's a means of storing value in moving the dependency that was for grounded on speculative it we saw our, our currency in it, or did the inflation in the past. so this will serve as an inflation camping

measure. it also reinforces the idea or for fiscal consolidation, but at the same time also serving is a demonstration of the competitive currency. but the addition of 5, the then demands in washington's position on public policy in was in. it is an attitude predicated. one. now, they are vengeance for the land reform program, and that's the best functions. totally field is african states. we do not in, in, in the political processes and we do not intervene. administrative magic based is. so i think whatever the motivation, the message that should be clearly sent to them is that they hear from all accustomed to in on what if india has her

portly stepped in to help sri lanka restructure it's that that's, that's the countries seeks to close a $2900000000.00 loan from the i m f to paper. it's way out of an economic crisis. well, we can learn more by cutting life audio. india correspond runjun sharma. now joining us your engine, great to see you. but can you tell us a bit more about india's plans to step in and helps her lanka? no sri lanka was hoping to get a nearly 3000000000 dollar bill, our package from the i m f and to secure that it has to renegotiate loans with its foreign lender, mainly japan, china, and india. and india is 3 lancaster, 2nd largest bilateral lender, and which is via this with it. or when else, foreign minister off the edge, a shanker, becomes extremely important. in fact, he landed in sheila and got today's we b m local time. he's expected to meet with his counterpart also tomorrow he is

expected to meet with the president to free, long carano vicar missing and all that to talk on that restructuring. that really is going to be the key focus of this particular was it. now it does also confirm that it has written to the i a math as far as these stalks around that restructuring are concerned. so india has given its approval to the i m f a to give she long call that bailout package. the sheila and gus many desperately is looking at also she duncan was india about $1000000000.00 only last year. india had given sri lanka around $700000000.00 on credit line and this was then the crisis was added, speak and running. let me on the line your i was in sri lanka when the crisis was brewing and when the crisis is really out of speak. and it's hard to imagine what

that economic crisis, which leader turned into a political crisis on a manager in crisis had done to the people or she lanka. you remember those cues outside special stations that snaked for kalama. tell them kalama does not just a few will they will other problems as well. so no fuel, no cash, no medicines, all for the people and really hard to describe the emotional undertone a behind those use that we saw in sri lanka. now school, the cues are gone and the situation is somewhat better, but the pain of people hasn't completely gone away. and therefore, these talks are going to be extremely important. and they definitely are a criminal who for the island nation off for 22000000000 people. right around you and sharma. thank you. thank you for joining us here. if this program lie for moscow, it's just about half past 6 in the evening and we will return at the top. the.
