11:01 am
that's us, the external affairs minister from india steps and to help the country to deal with it's ongoing economic crisis so, so good of you to join us for this i was broadcast from moscow, the auto news team here is your top stories all lined up and we do start this hour with that of the front lines of don bass at the head of rushers, wagner paramilitary group, who said his forces have gained full control over a strategically important suburb of the city of audio mosque, but also that city is known as back mood. the town of a cliche of less than 10 kilometers from arkansas bosque, which has been a vital transport hub for the ukrainian military. the head of the wagner group said fierce fighting is ongoing in certain nearby areas. and previously the russian defense minister confirmed that the wagner group made a solid contribution in taking the city of solar dod. another strategically
11:02 am
important location in that region. meanwhile, locals from the city of art show mosque, widely known as black mood have thanked the group for helping them to evacuate. yes, good of that, your 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 and 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 nazis for a 2nd over 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 west at all. it's very difficult in our channel mosque 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
11:03 am
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 ukrainians started shooting nearby. oh, we're discussing all of his earlier in the program with yon us put conan editor in chief of the finish news website, m v letty. and he says while the takeover of key cities and don bass is a major development for russia, the western media is down playing all of it. of course. so in the military means bottled 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 fully duration of dorm was. and that is exactly what the western propagandists are afraid of. they try to keep the beacher. that prey
11:04 am
has steal a bus ability to weave a war against russia, each grade being to do but, but that's what exact exactly what they are doing. trying to convinced that there is the says to send all these billions of dollars and a western military oh weapons to, to keep key of troops. what me time rushes ambassador to america as a washington has given key, have direct approval for a tax 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 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 the zalinski regime by the americans are native. isn't it clear that pumping ukraine with more weaponry, no matter where it is produced in the u. s. or any other native country will only
11:05 am
lead to an increase in the deaths 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 just 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 you 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, there's not everyone in the west has been, has expressed as such willingness to take this conflict to the next level because
11:06 am
we saw berlin say that they'll 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
11:07 am
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 fear. 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 the claimants. but when they are dangerous for us, because then the message to open italian need is not only to putin, but also on the author time it is, is that when they use brute force, whenever it's international law, they, it, she, what they want. and that'll be a very bad and dangerous lessons. it'll make the world more dangerous on us more vulnerable if we want to negotiate the peaceful solution to the war ukraine. we
11:08 am
need to provide me with our support, your crime. that's the only way. weapons, they are the way to peace. so the nato cheeky and st oldenburg right there, donald basically saying that more weapons and more deaf other way to peace. and just before him, donald, the left shoulder. jemma chancellor, the man looking surprisingly optimistic, didn't his jump, didn't his defense minister just quit? yeah, that's right. and you know this, this kind of rhetoric combined with these recent developments with the potential massive future supplies of western tanks to the ukrainian military. all that combined really makes it scary to wonder how far will the west to go just to fight russia, the end of august. good to have your company for this our program. so un representative in charge of coordinating peace efforts in the middle east is called for more accountability for violence by israeli soldiers against palestinians. he describes the issue with a dangerous cycle of violence. the perpetrators of all acts of violence must be
11:09 am
heading. the counter will be brought to justice. the security forces must exercise maximum restraint. the use of the course of all was unavoidable. that life or the spite mounting, international pressure, israeli authorities have been withholding the bodies of killed palestinians. the families of the deceased have condemned that practice is a violation of human rights. more details now to the middle east. we go with our 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 palestine, an uprising against israeli occupation. mohammed was told shoddy, 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's been sunny
11:10 am
for sort of almost 21 years have passed. and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was martyred. 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 we bid farewell to this world with their son still not rested in peace. the parents pain and anger has not been buried either and will not go away for you love 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 you would have been so then now, sir, is i one of around a 1000 other palestinian families who have corpses of dead relatives been withheld by his railey authorities, had practiced that 1st began in 1967 man women and children are among them hussain
11:11 am
from jerusalem legal aid in 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 garza, 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. well, the number for that 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. a hm. no lemon. alabama co. we only
11:12 am
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, you know, 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 talk 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. that was flows in his was google twice. dr. sir 5 this
11:13 am
through defrost the body because we need the pick of seed for for him. what did you want us to show? show he was good for like 3 bullets from back and close distance. sama 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 protest, her 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. his client again stay manage. when someone kill your son and stole his party. that would 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
11:14 am
a different israeli institutions asking for a comment on the state practice of detaining buddies. they didn't reply back very from optionality from the west bank. earlier in the program, we were talking with the director of the palestinian independent commission for human rights with the amount of wake. now he fears the death. all of palestinians will continue to amount throughout this year. it seems that the 2023 will be a bloody or like $1.00 to $20.00 to 2021. like any year under israeli occupation. last year, 235 seniors were shocked and killed with good blood by his late soldiers. and as a settlers with no accountability to the perpetrators, and 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 venice. damien is
11:15 am
a politician. we expect $21.00 to $3.00 also to see more confiscation of land for israelis at the building. and i believe that without meaningful and genuine pressure from international community it is, will continue as they used to act against the union. commit to more and more crimes against humanity, crimes against international law with complete and unity as you well knows. united nations recently passed a motion involving 70 countries calling for accountability from tel aviv for that of id of soldiers. they must be held responsible for the violence classes with palestinians. that is 70 countries mister wake. does that mean the world is, is finally getting united on this to state conflict. this is not something new. we have here this from the work for decades and repeated solutions from you
11:16 am
and general assembly from meal and 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 illusion against is ryan calling for the end of the patient and of for certain mans. but 2 of the seniors to determine a but nothing gets materialized because simply, all these decisions are just shallow, open statements, without any consequences on the zain, is the national or the law. why are that all states need to act against violations committed by israel would do so. you know, if it sanctions with the law implications, no penalties just statements. the resolutions that us department of state is express concerns or sim bob was reluctant to take action in a case that's over 5 years old, investigating exploited women. i think back to 2016,
11:17 am
the situation surrounded 200 women who reportedly trapped and abusing to wait. the report out of washington states as in bob boy's government has meddling in bringing the cases to conclusion. comments of us accusations of rising corruption in the country that has been under western sanctions for decades for alleged human rights violations. now, the spotlight on the country from washington has come at a time after him. bob way introduced a gold coins last year, which are now in high demand for 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. light spoke to a political scientist, richard milan va, who says the coin to helping those in the country deal with inflation. now you can have using the local current or amount to currencies within our us get of currencies to pay just the gold coins. so it's
11:18 am
a means of storing value in moving the dependency that was for grounded on speculative we saw our currency in it or did pay 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 current savings. but the dish, or fire the then demands in washington's position on public policy in was in a d j to one. now they are vengeance for the land reform program, and that's the best functions. totally field is african states. we're not in touch in, in the political processes, and we do not intervene administrative magic races. so i think
11:19 am
whatever the motivation, the message that should be clearly sent to them is that they hear from all accustomed to, in, on what ever on over to europe. now, the e. u has been pressuring so be able to join sanctions against russia, despite storms, opposition from belgrade or the european parliament passed the long binding resolution that the country's foreign policy should be aligned with the block. if indeed it wants to continue to pursue membership. as president spoke out against the measure and says or no other viewpoints are accepted by professional partners in the west. as they have come to understand, no one wants to hear or see that there is a different point of view. the only thing they are interested in is an independent carswell and sanctions against russia. traditionally has very close ties with russia as moscow support spelled grades claim to the disputed cause of a region which some western powers consider an independent country. but 80 percent
11:20 am
of the respondents in a recent poll by a serbian newspaper express opposition to imposing sanctions against russia. the clear majority said that even the threat of punitive actions by the e u against their own country still wouldn't make them want to support the anti russia sanctions. well, we discussed the issue with our serbian american john listed artes senior writer in the voice of knowledge. he questioned why the e u is demanding that an external government conform to its policies. when the block can't even get only with our members to have a internal orders, i don't think it's going to have any influence on the serbian government, or at least that bought, nudged into direction that the resolutions authors intended. if anything it will harden to serbian opposition to demands from brussels because let's face it. it's not a good look to have a german author and ultimate him to serbia. and the author of this resolution, despite his squatter sounding name, is in fact german and the key amendments demanding and compliance belgrade were
11:21 am
also often by corporations, which again has historical issues attached to this. so if, if, if brussels and the european parliament were trying to persuade serbia into actually doing this, they, they couldn't have gone about it in a worse. in a worse way. the resolution is non binding even 40. you will let alone 2 on countries that are not members. and so it's going to be one of those documents that, you know, brussels bureaucrats are going to pound and point 2 by 5. you or 5 members of the, you haven't recognized co civil and here's resolution. we're also demanding that they all do. so all see if, you know, how can, how can you demand a non member to harmonize policy when they can't even force their own members to, to will bay their own dictates, ridiculous. that's bringing some live pictures for you right now from the heart of the french capital, where it's now about 5 22 pm on
11:22 am
a thursday. a chaos reigned for now. but why? it's all about planned by the french president to raise the retirement age in the country. and it has prompted all those people to hit the st. the powers in protest for demonstrators as we understand were blocking road, some fashion, police reports of bottles and smoke bombs. being thrown as well, we understand right now at least 20 people have been arrested for the president has said the retirement. busy reform must be carried out, the proposed legislation would mean people having to work until they are 64 years old in order to qualify for a full state pension. it is a move very strongly opposed by trade unions and manual macro. meantime, the president has urging protesters to demonstrate peacefully and avoid any violence while constitutional reform plans and catholics on have prompted the country's president to dissolve the lower house of parliament and the regional government staff elections will not be held. we have
11:23 am
these details from one local reporter because of my cousins, the president of cassock st. on his dissolve, the low house of the country's parliament and called early elections. now 70 percent of the deputies of the lower house. we elected on ponti las 30 sent in single mandate districts the holding of early elections to the lower house and the regional government is dictated by new constitutional reform. as the president noted, the u model of formation of the low house and the regional government will fully protect the interests of voters, both at national and regional levels. the elections will be the final stage of the re boot of state institutions. a new report claims the persecution of christians is on the rise globally with thousands of people killed last year just because of their faith. now, the report by the religious research group opened doors. it says that while nearly $6000.00 christians were killed last year,
11:24 am
it said many of the crimes committed were done so by islam extremists it out of that more than a $120000.00 people were displaced due to anti christian violence. and at least $15000.00 christians suddenly became refugees. now the report did go as far as to say that in some regions, violence against christians has actually condoned the african nations. for example of somalia at atria, nigeria all list in the, in the top 10 of countries where christians reportedly faced the most violence. and the head of the research group said the rate of crimes against christians in africa is deeply disturbing. i think even we were shocked by our own numbers, 7 out of 10 countries where there is the greatest violence against christians or in sub saharan 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 rape. it can mean a production. it can be the destruction of property. well, the report says,
11:25 am
360000000 christians, faith persecution, and discrimination because of their faith. that is one in 7 christians worldwide. let's break that down by region. for example, one in 5 christians are persecuted in africa, 2 and 5 and asia, and then all the way to the fall screen hit one in 15 in latin america. well, we discussed all of this with the head of a nigerian christian association. is fortunate that in a country of the constitution in a country that has a government from google citizens. when you have nothing up in the schools and cannot really, really do nothing. and they do it actually being in the, on more than just flying, maybe getting them and, and killing some of them. and that becomes a good concise if give nothing. why killing the please? why do you plan?
11:26 am
because that's 2 pieces with government. what kind of it was under that and then in thank you see where was george and so we keep not active. i miss enough to know so much as a bit concerning the christ community but citizen generally what it because now given seems not to be secured at this moment. great to have your company this evening. india has reportedly stepped in to help us through lanka restructure its debt, says the country 6 to close a 2900000000 dollar loan from the i am asked to help pave its way out of any kind of crisis. we can get more details now. his art is going to ensure she long caused hoping to get a nearly $3000000000.00 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,
11:27 am
2nd largest bilateral lender, and which is vi did with it over in del foreign minnesota. off the edge shankar becomes extremely important. in fact, he landed in sri lanka, today's we b m local time. he's expected to meet with his counterpart. also, tomorrow he's expected to meet with the president to 3 long carano vicar missing and all that, to talk on that restructuring. that really is going to be the key focus of this particular with it now in there's also confirms that it has written to the i a mass as far as these talks around debt restructuring are concerned. so india has given its approval to the i m f a to give free long call that a bailout package, the sheila and got many desperate b is looking at also sri lanka, always india, about 1000000000 dollars only last year. india had given 3 long,
11:28 am
got around 700000000 dollars on credit line, and this was then the crisis was added speak in july last year, july 2022 things had gotten really, really bad for sri lanka. we all remember, those were rules. all of the she was outside patrol station that makes 4 kilometers in kilometers, but also the government offices were runaway, the presidential palace was ransacked, the faith broadcaster was hijacked, and the prime minister's office was set ablaze. the economic crisis now had really turned into a political and of humanitarian. one and things on the ground for sri lanka had become extremely extreme. lead difficult, of course, that also led to the fall of the long standing roger buckshot. government does, but foresee langkow though, priority now is to renegotiate aid loans with its foreign lenders. and that's what,
11:29 am
in the eyes trying to help sri lanka with for these debt restructuring talks between india and sri lanka, become extremely important because they do provide a clean world war to the island nation of 22000000 people. now you can see more of an article runjun sharma, r t dot com, but also one ortiz telegram channels as well. that's just about wrapping up this outburst garcia for me. but my colleague union o'neill at the desk in about half an hour to time, i do hope you can join him. ah ah ah
