[000:00:00;00] a mess with you with a that is my number 7, but in the distance above the kilometer. and the ha, that is the last stronghold. oh, the last time hope gradient home. so look at the russian, the power of a nature group. wagner bond is further along with on baths front lines. our correspondent remains embedded with that they took control of the strategically important town of sola. normally, stokes from united states is created a coalition and is using ukraine to wage a prophecy with russia. the old name of find is solving the russian question at

russia as far minutes. laptop says that usa seeking to destroy russia by wage and the property will, with its partners in the staging, ground or crate with africa seeks alternatives to the u. s. dollar. in global trade, as it turns to the bricks group of countries for a better option with the digital sunday program, one out to you to national with a top picks up the week and this our main headlines. it's great to have with us. we do start now with the latest developments from the conflict ongoing, of course, in ukraine, according to local officials, one man has been killed as ukraine shell, the city of jordan. yet, as we understand, the number of civilian deaths in that region this week is at least 9 l authorities . and that i brings up a ology region of also said that he evolved tillery talkative cemetery officials,

adding there is no russian military installation in that area where russian troops have reportedly gain control over a suburb of a strategically important town of solidarity. the russian defense ministry said that ukrainian forces suffered very heavy casualties and in the recent fighting a sold out itself came under russian control last week. theoretically, paving the way for an advance on the major cities of a lot of trouble off. it's also known as black mood. earlier the russian defense ministry recognized wagner groups contribution in the battle for sola. dar, i'll senior correspondent is murat gas, d. f. and he visited sola dodd, and met with the wagner fighters. i should warn you in advance, you may find some of this footage disturbing.

ah! this is solid done. the city fell in just 2 weeks. poor rata was taken by the wagner, private military corp. the musicians as they are known. mm hm. i deal with nature lisa,

so it was lively city 5 and is wagner. speciality we have no equals despite be the resistance. we took the city quickly when a nationalist held on to every building, every street, but they yielded water. they ran and surrendered with testament to his words, a view pin air moves that have appeared and solid up in every district packed with ukrainian dead in their hundreds upon hundreds ukrainian soldiers. those killed in solid are left behind by the ukrainian military as it's retreated. 102-030-4050. see it goes on and on. this is something harry sussed, one of these soldiers off their corpses locked rigid in the position that the they were in when they were killed. obviously you can see the

details, but some of them are missing limbs, others with bullet wounds, shrapnel wounds. it is difficult gathering the more at this time because as you can hear because of the continuing fighting, it doesn't end. the orchestra is relentless. they allow the enemy no rest thought as a full. this was one school which they turned in fortifications from here they felt merrily or tried. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in chief said in all weather the ensemble attacks and the tax that is my number 7 over there. in the distance above the kilometer and a half. that is the last stronghold or the last handhold ukrainian. tom

followed out just outside the city itself. otherwise, you credit troops have been forced back into the heels beyond solider. right now, an assault is on the way. the complex itself is, is all but surrounded. what's more, we've learned that the orchestra have taken hundreds of enemy troops, prisoner or not all of them ukrainian witching little do, and there were a great many foreign mercenaries, as well as foreign weaponry. all of it was seized and sent to be checked for damage . on the whole, the cities coll, sometimes ukraine artillery will fire at us. you can hear the explosions. on the whole is calm. we are ready for more actions. solid die is neither that 1st law apply no triumph. wagner has proved itself time and time again. it is a machine of war, sport to feed violence, tempered by battle,

wetted by blood, and endlessly hungry for more, more ad gasdio ot. so. meanwhile, ukraine's 1st lady struggled to justify the rise of ultra nationalist sentiment in her country. she spoke with the world economic form in davos, and she said it was all in response to russia's aggression. when that began the aggression by calling us nationalists. but any grain, the, we're not as many nationally, there are now after the full scale russian invasion, because nationally will give to the aggression. you begin to defend your nationality, your nation, and from the aggressor. at times when there is no aggressor, the national sentiments and ne way, so they brought in the point that all of our children are going to be nationally not to where you current and does have a long history of far. right. and groups leading and so called volunteer battalions

. before the conflict started. western media used to talk about it, not anymore. one of the most infamous of the out of battalion which uses neo nazis symbolism and it's official branding. it's a part of the ukrainian armed forces and report includes thousands of members and human rights groups of accused, as all from the similar i daughter, battalions of multiple war crimes against civilians. now, you may find it hard to believe, but many of president zelinski outfits, t shirts, trousers and jackets made by ukrainian company, known as clothing lines. the feature of the symbolism used by the far right ukrainian troops have a look at so called morale. patches show the widely, no neo nazi black son embedded between north smith's ology references and another such patch just well. blatantly features a slavic swastika. we heard from my dear political analyst at george w elliot, the global policy institute. he says that western powers obtained

a blind eye to the ultra nationalist sentiment in ukraine. well, which professors to be anti nationalists? but if they're very selective about which nationalism they like and they don't like . so ukrainian nationalism is a bar, this driven by a pathological hatred of russia, russian, russian, russian culture. they liked it because they saw this is something that they could use. and that will they, they look the other way. why did they do that? because they saw this ukraine in nationalism or something as a useful weapon that they can against russia. and they did it. they mean, essentially turning ukraine into essentially a kind of anti russian aircraft carrier with its guns target to the russian. we know that russia maybe didn't do anything about ukraine,

didn't even do anything about crimea until the 2014 qu, which was led by very rabid nationalists rushes of foreign minister sort of law for off as the accused us of quote in slaving europe to fulfill a strategy of global domination and in particular, use ukraine to wage a proxy war against russia. to youngsters from the united states is created a coalition of nearly all european member states of nato and the a you and is using ukraine to wage a proxy war against russia. with the old aim of finally solving the russia question like hitler. you sort a final solution to the jewish question, sir de la rob did not. men says words calling out the west dirty tactics as it attempts to stop the global shift in power. he started by addressing the us versus them mentality from the joint declaration on a you natal corporation,

which was just signed on january 10th aimed at protecting it's 1000000000 citizens, as it states, she was gonna leave the rest of the world to quote, high representative the e u for foreign affairs and security policy shows at burrell is a jungle that stifles progress in the garden must therefore be read formatted, adjusted to their needs, and turned into new style colonies in order to use new methods to ruthlessly pump out resources from none of these methods all too familiar and include demonization blackmail, sanctions, threats of force and much more on the west course on destroying traditional ties between historical houghton, as were in different regions and for augmenting andy, stabilizing dumpsters has become more salient. we can say, listen, the tolkien's and in most soviet space, when asked if russia was not the same in crane, sir gala, rob reminded everyone for the umpteenth time that russia did what it did as a matter of national security when it became clear what ukraine and the west had

been planning for years. a resent system took many europeans believe that russia did not show its best site when it launched that also, that is, that it isn't just while the other parent is conscious. like the not sage, do they bumped in a half of the planning? valez, the national law to says territories. it is roommates or the turkish threat to increase in the jan. see for them. what are your arguments against this year? for the 1st that i will not argue, i will simply put forth my view. you said that it did not show its best side when it started the special military operation. this is interesting phrasing the united states as invaded other countries territories and about 300 times. in most instances, they did this because somebody had a friendly americans, as it is happening all the time in central america and the caribbean. oh, to eliminate threats to peace and security. of course, comparisons can be made, but we defended our security. ukraine was being turned into a bridge head for attacking russia and undermining our interests. second, the humiliation of russians whose rights were guaranteed in the ukrainian

constitution is unacceptable. the 2014 qu, which was inspired by the west, was not followed by any attempt to launch a national dialogue in ukraine. leesha west, unequivocally took the side of the regime, which immediately declared his ante, russia goals, and his commitment to the nazi theory and practices by bombing done yet, scandal, ganske than nobody is investigating. these crimes no tribunals are established and nobody is even considering this is even psychological. repeat that the importance of respecting the law of equality and self determination, which prompted an emotional question from one of the journalists. you talked about respect for the un charter watts respect for international law. will you showing when you sent troops into ukraine of every the 24th? russia's top diplomat explained that under the un charter countries must respect the territorial integrity of states representing the entire population of their countries. and i kim's regime does not represent the interests of the entire

population. and that, that being persecuting a large portion of their population for years prompting the ministry spokesman to jump in buffalo. so as the league lance, i believe, shun, less from crime me and on vast will the equally emotional a 4 h. yes, they could have asked the same questions that are now being asked by anglo saxon media out lenses of but there were not allowed. there were, did not leads us in accreditation to similar nice in francis, in west clinton. by the way, al credited general as her also denied the possibility of not only asking questions, but even attending such events. it takeaway of the press 1st that the russian foreign minister says that once friendly nations have taken their masks off. expressing his surprise at the speed nations like italy and greece signed up for the anti russian sanctions and rhetoric bandwagon. and he adds, this model is now looking to be copied with russia's other allies, like china and india was pursued a usefulness last me,

whether we have any information on western attempts to so discord in our relations should this information is in plain view and is right there in the public domain, the united states drops its strategy, including the national security dock, fringed on the declaration on nato. you cooperation. we're listing russia and china in those in there is a small new on. so they view russia and is immediate threat that they need to deal with right now. well, designated china as the main long term, serious and system wide challenge, with many independent observers, wrote that the americans and europeans and making a mistake by trying to contain both russia and china. same time. they probably think that they are capable of doing this. the united states would never have done this on its own use. the americans cannot carry out their policy of dominance, which primarily consists of constraining russia and china on their own. it is for this reason that they need the western county to be fully mobilized. a partial mobilization would no longer suffice. and this is what they're doing right now. this demonstrates yet again, that they have almost run out of steam in their effort to count to the objective of

historical trend, marked by the emergence of a multi poder well daughter. so ukraine is a puppet of the west, the europe as blindly following the u. s. who is trying to, we can develop and nations create rifts between russia and its allies. just to make sure it stays on top. that's the bottom line of the states of the world's foreign affairs, and when seats wency to, according to russia's foreign ministry. thee dollars, zation continues, particularly among that of the bricks. countries as the foreign minister of south africa is openly calling for an alternative to that of the greenback. we've always been concerned at the fact that there is a dominance of the dollar and that we do need to look until tentative. i think this is one of the reasons why we created a new development bank of bricks. was she also condemned

a u. s. bill designed to punish african countries for any cooperation with russia. and she described the american initiative quote, as a violation of international law. i believe the girl should really be killed her because i think is totally unwarranted. i think is an intrusion that goes against international law, and we've made this clear to our colleagues in the united states. we even met with the drafter of the initial legislation and indicated our fence with which we view this particular proposed piece of legislation. it's called that malign russian activities in africa act what we in africa called the anti africa bill. and those were the words that have been used by several commentators to describe exactly what happened last year in the house of

representatives in the united states. the bill got an overwhelming majority support in congress infected with bipartisan winning by some 419 volt to 9 and it was passed through. but the interesting part is what happened to that bill as it was slightly seem to be going through is way to the senate and then throw them up as i had a working visit to the united states. and he and his father and his foreign minister doctor a lady ponder poor it is squarely to the americans that this is an anti africa bill that they cannot force africans to choose, that africans have a right to determine their own development and determine their own partners. we have been lamenting that bill ever since it came, and before that trip by sar, or i'm a pause, a late last year in november. it was said by some of the officials in the white house that, that president a joe biden will take as much time as possible to delay this bill to make sure that it never ends up on his desk to possibly try and stop in with, in the senate,

but it really looks at anybody who is potentially making friendships with, with russia and south africa, has a vested interest, especially when it comes to russia. as part of the briggs membership and south africa has been really keen to really leverage on some of the memberships that you find within break to make them come up issues that are rather continent wide. they've continuously encourage the chinese to invest more on the continent. and being continuously look towards russia as part of the military fortification of south african army. and here is the lady pond to speaking about what they hold to bring as part of their chairmanship, which they took over just at the beginning of this year. the chairmanship of briggs, which they will be holding until the end of the year. we very thrilled as a progressive character of the forum has been recognized and that many countries

wish to be part of it. because there is concern in the world about changing politics. and almost a unit called polar framework, where one or 2 regions or countries wish to be dominant in terms of ideology and political thought. so the fact that there are countries, especially in the developing world that have recognized that breaks offers an alternative because we don't force idea for anyone. we discuss corporation, we see global emmet, we see more and more that russia is getting and traced on the continent as well. becoming a member of, of preference, especially when it comes to issues of security. as we've seen around the hell region with some of the numerous countries that have been really taken over by the insurgency and as long as extremism that has been part of that region. and it's not surprising, but the lady ponder,

picked this moment to given this interview because she's always been measured. always been deliberate and never gives an interview for its own fake. india is external. if as minister has accused the b, b, c, you peddling a colonial narrative and a new documentary that summer, calling a hit based on the current prime minister, no rain drum modi, is anything this film or documentary is a reflection on the agents and individuals that are peddling this narrative again, it makes us wonder about the purpose of this exercise and the agenda behind it. and frankly, we did not wish to dignify such efforts. the bias like of subjectivity and continued colonial mindset is blatantly visible. bbc's tube, bart documentaries, see these called india the more the question, whatever that means has been slammed by india labeling 8 a propaganda apiece. the documentary is about the 2000 to which arthritis and

marines are more. these are all in the violence in his home state don't sued to tell them to withdraw thrive for the. 2 worst, our community rides that india has ever seen. nearly 2000 people had lost their lives. it's also true that initially the blame was been on mr. moore, the for not being able to cobb the widens or the supreme court of india has rubbish . all those allegations, in fact, a special investigation steam and 2012 has also given mr. moore the, the clean chit, the documentary failed to mention any or that. in fact the documentary therefore, so you can government report that claims that are in the us prime minister and then chief minister or withdraw knowing that or more the had to actively stop the police from preventing the riots. oh, human dri, has lots of question marks. i'm not to lose ports constituting it does not mention

these basics. the supreme court would act on the sci fi team findings. this saw report, in fact, was prepared by a team that was headed by the then foreign secretary of the u. k. jack straw. but the question was, the british government holding an inquiry in india, india on a british colony, at least not often 1947. indians are outraged bbc's propaganda series on prime minister modi is aimed at denting his image. so they can as a state, broadcast or cast doubts on india's current foreign policy. our stance on russia or our trade deals with middle east is upsetting the west. they're all hands on deck, the sole back fire. and not the 1st time that the west has published, such reports that rico for colonial mindset. remember in the long has been

complaining about the coverage that it gets in the west and press take, for instance, that time magazine cover divider in india own gives it back again. and again, take a look at this previously recorded b, b c interview with mr. moore, the, he was there more relevant than ever and would say it is a human or a jew, john try to print just the human being over them and i will but it issues are not reach of mandates. but the brits never worried about human rights when millions of indians the dying during british rule take for instance the sudden massacre or the bring all famine where millions of indians dying from starvation while the brits were busy transporting indian green to the u. k. no apology for days by the way. you can't possibly blame mr. moore the for not being willing to take a lesson,

a morality in human rights from them. in fact, india, under the leadership, mr. moore, the in the last few years has been extremely fearless. believe his example of india define western sanctions and specials to condemn rochelle is offensive in ukraine, but it looks like the rest and the u. k. i simply not getting the point that india has reiterated that he doesn't want other countries. paul king then knows in dallas matters by turning our attention to about a can a fast so where protest erupt, it again over the french military presence in the west african nation. the demonstrators have been demanding that the foreign troops leave the country and take the french ambassador with them. or to correspond was i. louis long sent us this report from the nation's capital. it is because of like a large that where his i don't want him also, i country want peace. they said they are there to help us,

but they want enough because it is one of them to leave the country to my message, to friends, we are tired, she should leave our country. why? why is what creates problems for us and kills are people his friends has been here with us. we didn't feel better from the south. is our terrorist who never helps any country. wherever france goes, it is destroyed and not repent. plus the nation to push leader because the show to increase the pressure of frame 3 goals for the meeting. the defense of my son luke allows the defense a 100 in booking up possible the close you and the house of the military days. he was going to who called me last december. fossil has clearly the look. i love requests that cause in relation

between the 2 countries. finally, the secretary state of france will send you one there and nobody touch the bus. luca lives with lee willow. r. p was going to riots, half erupt in the southeast and u. s. city of atlanta, after a police officer shot and killed and environmental activist demonstration in response to the death quickly devolved into riots. a masked processor smashed windows through fireworks of police car on fire. while the police building and other spots in the city were targeted as well. and the kidding occurred during a raid of approaches to come outside the sight of a proposed law enforcement training facility. a police report, they responded with lethal for 20 activist, apparently open fire on approaching offices, but elsewhere in america, it's even more deadly. but i must shooting in monterey park near los angeles,

leaving 10 people dead and 10 more wounded. the tragedy happened at a ballroom dance studio where a lunar new year celebration was being held. sheriff's department said that the suspect is still at large, but has no description of the shooting. at this time. i do tell still incoming about that story, that from my pock monterey, and, and in los angeles, also that of atlanta, the updates are available for you at r t dot com. in the meantime, we are back soon with blue to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time time to sit down and talk ah with me. hello, welcome to wells apart. more than a century since we're g. r. kipling extolled the white man's burden and acquainted colonization to a civilizing effort. the skin color of it's more than appearance and may have been diluted by the ethos is still more or less the same. the west still sees itself as the shining cd on a neil whose values practices and interests he to be bestowed on those living and the food of that hill. for all the talk about equality can the so called

international community ever part waste with the idea that some nations know what's best for the rest. will to discuss that i'm now joined by chris, is seeking director of the african center for the study of the united states at the university of pretoria professor seekins. great. you talk to thank you very much for your time. would be or thank you for having me. you sure. now there wetmans burden is such an an easy issue. and sir, i think it's very easy to fall into propaganda here. and this is exactly what moscow has been accused of when the russian presidents had just said that western had gemini, a, is a new form of colonialism. ah, you are more than 12000 kilometers away from moscow in pretoria. and yet, i've seen you make northern exact, but the somewhat similar point you said that the russian war in the ukraine is
