a. busy mess with you. those are good on that with a that is my number 7 with me in the distance above the kilometer and a half. that is the last stronghold all the loss handhold gradient um, followed by the russian private military group. wagner at pumps is further along the dumbbells front lines, securing the strategically important ton of solid dark. our correspondent is given rare access to the company. also ahead this our. the new stuff for the 90 states has created a coalition and is using ukraine to wage a proxy war against russia. with the old aim of finally solving the russia question

. moscow is foreign minister said the usa, speaking to destroy russia, my waging a proxy war with its partners with south africa seeks alternatives to the u. s. dollar international trade. turning to its partners in the bricks group of countries to work out options with bringing you the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly r t. i mean, generally we start with the latest updates in don bus, where, according to local officials, one the mom's being killed, following more ukrainian shelling of the city of done yet also in the neighboring southport. it was your region. a cemetery was reportedly targeted by ukrainian artillery. the spike, no russian military installation being in both area. earlier,

the russian defense ministry reported its forces had gained control over a suburb outside the strategically important type of solid dar. i think that key as forces had suffered heavy casualties in the fighting solar jar itself came under moscow's control last week. theoretically, paving the way for an advance on the major city of arch, most also known as baton. what will the m o d also recognise the bag nor groups contribution in securing solid jar ortiz, senior correspond morocco's, the visit the tide and met with fighters from the russian private military company . a warning you may find some of the following footage in his report 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. with booth with lisa. so it was lively,

city 5 and is wagner. speciality we have no equals. despite be the resistance. we took the city quickly, you quinn and nationalist held onto every building every street. but they yielded, they ran and surrendered testament to his words, a view pin air moves that have appeared and solider 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. 102-030-4056. it goes on and on. this is something harry sussed. one of these soldiers off, their coops is locked rigid in the position that they were in. when they were killed, obviously you can see the details, but some of them are missing limbs,

others with food, 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 with the for this was one school which they turned into fortifications from here they felt bad 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 hills 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, and not all of them ukrainian. watching over there. there were a great many foreign mercenaries, as well as foreign weaponry. both was seized and sent to be checked for damage. on the whole, the cities called sometimes he crane artillery will fire at us. you can hear the explosions on the whole. it's, we are ready for more action. solider is neither their 1st nor final triumph. wagner has proved itself time and time again. it is a machine of war, spawned in violence, tempered by battle, wetted by blood,

and endlessly hungry. for more, more at gasdio r t solid. somebody else to bring you ukraine's 1st lady has struggled to justify the rise of ultra and nationalist sentiment in her country while speaking at the world economic forum in davos. she claim the extremist views, being witness, including that from neal nazi groupings were only in response to russia's offensive . and that is for to now he began the aggression by calling as nationalists. but in ukraine there were not as many nationalists as there are now after the full scale russian invasion, biggest nationalism as the response to the aggression. you begin to defend your nationality, your nation from the aggressor. at times when there is no aggressor, the national sentiments and not as strong. so they brought it to the point that all of our children are going to be nationalists. will ukraine has

a long history of far right group leading its so called volunteer units before the current conflict started western media use to talk about it. no, not so much. one of the most infamous is the as off battalion, which uses new nazi symbols in it. so facial branding, its parts of the ukrainian armed forces and includes thousands of members. human rights groups have accused us off on the similar i, dark battalion of multiple war crimes against civilians. an additional point to know here as well. many of the president zelinski is outfits. her husband from his now world famous t shirts, trousers on fleece jackets are made by the korean company known as m tech. their clothing lines feature emblems used by ultra nationalists, ukrainian battalions. let's go through some of what there are the so called morale patches include the widely known neo nazi black son, embedded between norse mythology references. while another clearly features

a slavic swastika ly spoke earlier to geopolitical animal, as george zamarelli of think bobo policy institute. he sees western powers have turned a blind dye to the widespread extreme a sentiment in ukraine whereas 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 borrowed is 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's what they look the other way. why did they do that? because they saw this ukraine and nationalism is 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 the 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. now, direct wording language from russia's foreign minister, a circular roth, who has accused us of quote, inflaming europe to fulfill its strategy of global supremacy while using ukraine to wage a proxy. war against moscow to youngsters from the united states has 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 who sought a final solution to the jewish question,

sir de la rob did not. men says words calling out the west 30 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 e u natal corporation, which was just signed on january 10th aimed at protecting its 1000000000 citizens as it states just glue 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 and must therefore be reformatted, adjusted to their needs and turned into new style colonies in order to use new methods to ruthlessly pump out resources from them. these methods are all too familiar and include demonization, blackmail, sanctions, threats of force and much mold on the west course on destroying traditional ties between historical partners in different regions and for augmenting. andy, stabilizing them, has become more salient. we can see this in the balkans and in the post soviet

space. when asked if russia was not in 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 he crane and the west has been planning for years versus trust with many europeans believe that russia did not show its best site when it launched the facilities that the zoom just while the other part is conscious like the united states, do they bumped in a half of the plan is valez, the national law to says territories. it is rumored, the turkish threatened greece in the jan. seen them. what are your arguments against these to you? so, so 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, about 300 times. in most instances, they did this because somebody had offended the 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 interest. 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. the west, unequivocally took the side of the regime, which immediately declared his ante, russia goals, and its commitment to the nazi theory and practices. by bombing done yet, scandal, ganske. nobody is investigating these crimes, no tribunals are established and nobody is even considering this circle. i 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 and every the 24th rushes top diplomat explained that under the un charter countries must respect the territorial integrity of states representing the entire population of their countries. and like, he is regime does not represent the interests of the entire population and that they have been persecuting a large portion of their population. for years prompting the ministry spokesman to jump in buffalo. as for the grants, i believe, journalist from crime me, an dumbass would be equally emotional if for 8, yes, they could have asked the same questions that are now being asked by anglo saxon media outlets over, but they were not allowed. they were denied these us in accreditation to similar nice in francis, in the west. by the way, our credited journalists, who are also denied the possibility of not only asking questions, but even attend in such an absence. it takeaway of the process that there was a 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. you asked me whether we have any information on western attempts to so discord in our relations. this information is in plain view and is right there in the public domain. the united states drops its strategy, including the national security doctrine and the declaration on nato. you cooperation, this thing, russia and china in them, there is a small new on. so they view russia and is immediate threat that they need to deal with right now, or designating china as the main long term, serious and system wide challenge. many independent observers wrote that the americans and europeans and making a mistake by trying to contain both russia and china at the 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 count 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 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, for ministry or something perhaps big in 2023. that process of di dollarization, which does appear to be picking a pace, particularly among bricks countries. the so it's africa, foreign minister is the latest senior official to openly call for an alternative to

the green box in international trade. we've always been concerned at the fact that there is a dominance of the dollar. and that we do need to look at alternatives. i think this is one of the reasons why we created the new development bank of bricks, while the minister also condemned a u. s. bill designed to punish african countries for having any cooperation with russia. describing the american initiative of a violation of international law. i believe the bill should really be killed because i think it's totally unwarranted. i think it's 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 draft over the initial anticipation and indicated, often with which we view this particular proposed piece of legislation

. it's called the malign of russian activities in africa, eggs. what are we in africa called the anti african bill? and those were the ones that have been used by several commentators to describe exactly what happened last year in the house of representative in the united states . the bill was an overwhelming majority support in congress infected west bipartisan winning by some 419 volts, 29 and it was passed through. but the interesting part is what happened to that bill as it was likely seem to be going through is way to the senate and then throw on a head a working visit to the united states. and he and his father and his foreign minister doctrine, a lady ponder poor, did squarely to the american and said 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 the trip by for a late last year in november. it was said by some of the officials in the white house that the president joe biden will take as much time as possible to delay the bill, to make sure that it never ends up on his desk to possibly try and stop it within 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 brakes. membership and south africa has been really keen to really leverage on some of the memberships that you find within breaks to make them come up issues that are rather quantile and wide. they've continuously encourage the chinese to invest more on the continent, and then continuously look towards russia as part of the military fortification of south african army. and here is the lady ponder,

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 bricks which they will be holding until the end of the year. we very thrilled that the progress of character, of the forum has been recognized and that many countries which to be part of it. because there is concern in the world about changing geo politics and almost a unit quote, 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 greeks offers an alternative because we don't force ideas on anyone. we discuss corporation, we see global amity. 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 sa hell region, with some of the numerous country there that have been really taken over by the insurgency and has lummus extremism that has been part of that region and is not surprising. but the lady, pandora picked this moment to give this interview because she's always been measured. always been deliberate, and never gives an interview for its own sake. now, with the u. k. economy going on some thing of a financial roller coaster ride last year and made repeated political people. it's perhaps little surprise the rich are seeking commer economic waters. and you study by a leading consultancy firm has revealed that further 1400000000 ers pack their bags . and swap the country primarily for the middle east on asia in 2022. now lab takes

the total amount of high net worth individuals. quitting the u. k. to 12000 in the pallets half a dozen years. the biggest exit. this was in 2017. when 4000000000 ers up sticks for alternative climbs. according to this study, the u. a, he is now the destination of choice, enjoying the largest inflow of 1000000 ers in the world last year. well, let's study columns of london has increasingly find ways to bypass private property rights for foreigners with wealth. the russians are really ins, and turks particularly finding themselves in the firing line. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly stress the risk of keeping money abroad, even warning up to 20 years ago, not to place total trust in european economies. you know, when you get to it, there's every reason to believe that the use of funds placed in offshore zones will be tightened. i'm not saying that they, we frozen tomorrow. but if a decision in this kind with different variations is made,

excuse me for the plain language, you will swim against the tide running around the course in attempts to unfreeze these funds. brussels based independent journalist looked renee believes that current fiscal policies of western european nations could result in economic decline for the entire region. the problem with europe is staten, take all the wrong decisions we had with the sanction some russia that put us on our knees. there was this general trend of business leaving, leaving b u k, which is the financial center. they are leaving europe. the going to of the united arab hammered state, going to asia mainly where they're feel much more at ease. whether there's less viscosity less questions asked more freedom for business for the economy to 5? it's a turning point for europe, they come on a creek and we might have started our final decline look,

reveal now the annual world economic forum, wrapped up in the swiss ski resort of dof us on friday, globally, including the likes of businessman politicians, activists. they are all there on mass, furiously debating the world's pressing issues and how to put them right here. some of the big moments. ah, we have countries that are respecting those. and we have countries that are respecting their national interest going beyond the rules. and that is what is happening and we have to take into consideration to where a lot of women are as a lying on the surface of the r c. sadly, botswana, south africa, maybe partner with you as firms to go in there and get them out. you need to know who's been vaccinated and who hasn't be some of the vaccines that will come on down the line will be multiple will be multiple shots. so you got to have

that for reasons to do with the health care more generally. but certainly for a pandemic author, i'm for, for vaccines. you've got to have a proper digital infrastructure, and many countries don't have that back. most countries don't have that. if a 1000000000 people stop eating meat, i tell you it has a big impact. not only does it have a big impact on the current system, but it will also inspire innovation of food services there. so almost extra terrestrial for think about saving the planning i would not be surprised if behind the scenes the leaders of the the world got together and said, let's have a bachelor. who can say the most ridiculous thing and not be thrown off the stage. for example, somebody will say, let's get rid of meat, and you have people like like tony blair and others who tell you specifically we

don't have the means by which to digitally see what is happening in terms of, of, of vaccines. and by the way, nobody talks about this, they're telling you specifically, we are going to track you. we are going to use digital platforms. what ever comes up next, whatever it is, whatever. and you might call a biomedical tyranny. you might call it martial law. but what ever is concocted? we must have in place an infrastructure to know who does and does not comply. this is something you will never see ever mention on any western news program. a globe. because when you see how people and countries are politically and geographically situated, then you can really understand the importance of why these issues matter. it's

still the level of, of nash and the level of ignorance, from the information that is turned out. and also, i'm sorry to say one of the biggest problems that we suffer from, i think as a species is in curiosity. nobody cares. they're busy doing their own thing and i, well, well, this doesn't involve me. and if they get out of hand, somebody somewhere will correct it. people believe this to their detriment. hundreds of protesters had gathered in front of the swedish consulate in a stumble to express their anger other recent burning of the koran in stockholm. let's go through this story. people in turkey's largest city front, a picture of the danish right wing activists who set fire to islam holy book outside the turkish embassy in the swedish capital on saturday. that's led to not the 2nd day of protest in the stumble, turkey slum sweden, for allowing the koran burning to take place. deepening tensions between the 2

countries stuck on bids to join nato, a move which needs for his approval. at least 16 people have been killed and more than 30 others tramped after a building collapsed on sunday in serious largest city aleppo. the incident happened in a neighborhood under the control of the us back syrian democratic. according to local media, the 5 story residential building was haunted, dozens of rest and a search for survivors. as you can see here is ongoing. so far, those believe only out of more than a dozen bodies have been fined under the rubble. although the exact cause of the collapse is not known, a syrian media report of a long term water leak may have weaken the structures on station and riots have erupt. it in the u. s. city of atlanta, 3 police officer, a shot and killed on environmental activists in a gun fire exchange. a demonstration over the death quickly descended into violence

. mass protesters smash windows through fireworks and torch to a police car. a police station and other areas in the city were targeted as well. the killing occurred during a raid on a protest camp near the site of a proposed law enforcement training facility. georgia state troopers claim they use little a force when the activists open fire of approaching officers. while on the u. s. west coast, a must shooting in the city of monterey park. near los angeles has left 10 people dead on at least 10 more wounded. the deadly instant helping out a ballroom dance studio, where lunar new year celebrations were being held. the sheriff's department said the suspect, who still at large is a male of asian descent age between 30 and 50. amount 100 is underway, involving multiple law enforcement agencies, including the gang life like the life of

members, their families on the community at large. so why is the alert to join one still so strong in the us, particularly in black neighborhood, a no holds barred look at violence on america street. and our documentary since i been died is next years. it's amazing to see people share, right? because as me, we talk about being strong, you know, i mean, everybody wants to be strong man, but you know, we might be physically strong, but you know, are we emotionally wheat? my son got incarcerated here. and i learned when my biggest fear was and it goes back into a di, had an abort about memory. mind.
