this in the world corrupted. you need to descend a join us in the depth or remain in the shallows. ah, ah, when african countries want to develop security relations with other nations? this leads to certain reactions that you apply the same philosophy and mentality anywhere in the world. brushes. foreign minister says western countries are applying a neo colonialist approach to africa by patronizing nations instead of cooperating with them. also this our judging by this world and judging by these treadmill holes, ukraine use rockets designed to cause maximum damage and the

maximum civilian death. we report from the don yet for a public were to civilians are wounded after the ukrainian military shell. they train depot using rockets supplied by the u. s. a wave of resignation by ukrainian officials grips kiev with ukraine's deputy prosecutor and heads of several frontline regents on the list. ah, good evening from our international studios in moscow and from wherever you may be joining. welcome to the ours top news stories from all around the world. i'm carol is about the foreign minister of s, what teeny has praised the african countries where relations with moscow. after hosting russia's top diplomat for talks, this is, it is a testimony to the had to work and effort. they told her preventative

of his is put in it is in a formation of a long history of cordiality. in the kingdom of his sweating in the russian federation of the main activity today was the signing of an agreement that will establish a non visa regime for diplomats of both countries. but during the press conference that immediately followed the signing, the foreign minister said that their country's plan to increase cooperation in the spheres of agriculture, science and energy leverage specifically mentioned the need for supplying irrigation systems as well as russian grain to s watson. he also said that the country's officials asked about how russia could help their country conquer it's chronic fertilizer shortage. the russian foreign minister responded that russia has a surplus of fertilizer and has been trying to help africa in that regard. free of charge, but it's been european ports that are detaining around $280000.00 tons of that fertilizer. and the foreign ministers have made an appeal to the united nations to

rectify that situation. national hulu, but through the lou, our friends confirmed the problems with the supply fertilizers and asked how we could be useful as the country reported that the shortage negatively affects its agriculture. we talked about delivering our fertilizers, free of charge. last summer. president putin, in contact with the un said that 280000 tons were being held up in the ports of e u. countries. companies that own fertilizers are ready to transfer them to developing countries. but the u was trying to punish us and punish developing countries from considering that the un secretary general advocated for unhindered supplies. and we agreed that the governments of russia and as were teeny, will send the un chief a proposal to use parts of the detained grain for the needs of us with teeny rushes form in sir, also expressed that russia's willingness to supply us watching me with russian grain may be able to stabilize the country's delicate food situation. now lavish

also spoke about the french president. manuel mac ron's claim that burkina faso decision to expel french troops as a result of kremlin influence. he said, russia doesn't metal in africa's affairs. it just works with countries that are ready to work with moscow. but apparently, russia was essentially told that africa was europe's sphere of influence. a pretty hypocritical statement when considering nato's activities right on russia's doorstep, took the swinging. could you while still trying to keep up the act? western countries became interested in why we're here in africa. i replied that we want to develop relations with everyone who's interested in it, but they told me that russia should learn that africa is a zone of european interests. earlier you officials said that the balkans are also a zone of their interests and we should not go there. at the same time, the you considered it normal to work near russian borders. when african countries want to develop security relations with other nations. this leads to certain

reactions, we're now being accused of infringing on french interests and molly burkina, faso and the central african republic. the e u applies the same philosophy and mentality anywhere in the world. the same vicious logic applies to the african continent. lever of explained the situation as one part of a larger western neo colonial mission to tell african nations which countries they can and can't have good diplomatic relations with. he said it's not russia's problem, that africa is ditching the west. and looking to moscow in many spheres of co operation. another recent example took place in molly proposal. sure to assist was use a similar situation developed in molly a year ago when the countries leadership concluded that the decision to withdraw french troops and remove their military bases would create security threats in the region. that is why they asked for help mos, specifically our private military companies. we are not to blame for the fact that the french military and molly did not live up to their expectations. ultimately,

the situation developing in africa seems to come down to 2 different understandings of democracy. according to sergei, laval, russia sees it as countries deciding for themselves who to do business with. while the west is stuck in a neo colonial attitude of bending other countries to its will. this comes as the u . s. pushes its own agenda in africa with washington to send it to you, an ambassador to the continent for talks. that's after a recent visit by the us treasury secretary to zambia and sandra gaul, where she attempted to portray russia as a problem for africa. which is war in wip initiation of food. his exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man, president putin is creating an unnecessary drag on africa's economy.

we spoke to analysts from south africa who told us that for their continent, it's best not to be pushed by the west or the east, but rather cooperate with both coincidental visit between the arrival of foreign minister. russia certainly a lateral and then now secretary of secretary janet yelling from us. it's really not quite a coincidence. we might probably thing. there was no coincidence. diplomatic and geopolitical arena now. and i think the americans are realized that if they don't move fast enough, which they haven't done for the past 6 or 7 years, or since 2014, then now they've lost so much grok. so africa as one country. now it's also sending a signal to the rest of the countries that my goodness, we have to be able to, to take a stand alone. if the standard for this is a neutral stance,

it can evolve into a choice partnership. but should africa is trying to balance out as much as the partnership between the old west will know western nations and new partners like russia. i don't think it's beneficial for africa to be pushed by the, by the west or by the east to take a position on the claim. i think africans most work through the a, you and the subsidy. the organization echo was cited, for example, to determine what is in the interest of africa in pursuing a dialogue with both the waste and the east. and in fact, i would argue that to ethic, who will be the will place because it's not that many african states have not chosen the one or the other power block. now to the latest

from don bass were ukrainian. shelling has left at least 3 civilians wounded on tuesday. meanwhile, on monday 9, people were injured as care targeted civilian infrastructure and residential areas . in the city of view of ice, a local depot was hit with us delivered high march rockets. our teeth remind co sort of centers this report from the scene. this is a grades are made by another artillery shelling by ukraine military of this city of ill advised. great, now we are at the railway depot in this city that has been under fire for the last 3 days. now, according to local officials, ukraine have fired tortuga missile a couple of days ago which was intercepted by air defense systems. and last night, this area was attacked by multiple launch rockets system, maybe united states called hi mars. the explosion was so strong that pieces of

rails were completely blown out. now i can't even pick, pick this one up with my hands. so you can imagine how strong this explosion was. now, these types of rails half the explosions there were flying absolutely everywhere. and one of them cause death. damage to the person who's now had the hospital would been bocce lou. 02 people were wounded. the locomotive driver and his assistant was they were towing a suburban train to this is the 3rd shelling in around him. the 1st came at 2 am and then at 10 p. m. and again at 4 am the next day. they are depot is still working without interruption despite all the damage. there were at least self 4 high m r, sir, rock. it's a fire against this railway station. this is just another crater of many around here. fragments of rockets like these can be found. absolutely.

everywhere, like i said, as the result of this attack to people to real, a workers are now in the hospital. mystic place had 4 o'clock in the morning. however, if that's actually place during daylight, there could have been many, many more victims. judging by this wall and judging by these trout no holes. ukraine. he is rockets designed to cause maximum damage and maximum civilian deaths, room on car, forever hearty, you love eyes, then ask republic to learn more about what's going on and on bass, we are join live with international lawyer and human rights attorney. are no devil a welcome are no, thank you for having me. there are no. let's start 1st of all as to why you went to the don bass and how much time have you actually spent there so far?

well, i was, was my 3rd time. i 1st when they are doing the ref, rhonda in september, although i was in caption area. and then a month and a half ago i went to the donia sca republic lapsed russia for the 1st time. and i had the opportunity to head back there in the wake of the year solid, our, our floor refugee. and i wanted to see how people were coping logistically on off, on the ground to absorb all the refugee for essentially. so i was there, i was there altogether a little while i would say about about 2 weeks together. well, can you tell us see, overall picture of what you saw in don bass and what actually struck out to you the most? well, i would be for the risk of sounding like a cliche,

the resiliency of people love a resilience. are they go about their business? this is again a um i guess away over at the defense mechanism for them. and nom, live goes all them that were standing in all of the yo desk, all the above syndrome. ah, which can strike a strike at any time? anybody? ah, but people saw you all in all the understand that the long term trains are, you know, looking good that they're going to get ah, you know that long you're in for peace, but it's going to take some mom sometime. and we had this san silva cohesion, cohesiveness, and people are helping each other. and on mid 3 operations on the home are moving in the right direction. and so people are cautiously optimistic and on

the ticket one day at a time for by you know, go to the motion. everybody knows their jobs there, that's defeating and you get when you, when you visit. yeah, i mean, this has been going on for almost 9 years. and in your opinion, what are some of the common misconceptions that are portrayed about the region and russel's rest is rolling it up, especially to western audiences? well, obviously that it's russia's fault. i know, and this is, this is the, the pivotal point in, on the semantic is in a, everybody seems to be hoodwinked in the west in understanding the conflict as it were asked, starting on february 24th 2022. when it's something that goes way back to the maiden who and everything that has happened in between, including those are those means record, which as we know now from

a former french president or launch and the chancellor markel, lo, we're never, you know, they can seriously and they never negotiated in good faith to begin with. and they come out and now basically say, hey, you know, we use this vehicle as a means to allow the ukrainian army to get stronger until such time would come when we would anchor wedged them to basically a retake. what the foresee vasa mclennan territory, which is not the case anymore. well, and in your opinion, who or perhaps what is ukraine mostly targeting and why do you think that is even targeted by the west instrumentalist, by the west targeting now specifically in the region? well i guess for geographical reason, you know, it's, i mean the i, the ultimate amy's to bring back the good old days of the 1990 s and our dismantle

rush on this is, this is what the weston already galks deep state. you know, ames is all about. so they're using ukraine as a, as a device as a mechanism as a tool, as it were. ah, and knowing full well that that's going to be blog and it's going to be a broader the nation. it gets bother the nation essentially, but they don't care. those are those just variables for them. and now they use a cynicism as a mean of implementing their policy. so unfortunately, this is, this is the result right now, is that and this could be, this could have been over by march 2022. we had a tentative deal in east on bull and maurice johnson just flew in and say, no, no, we're gonna frame that up and you recently testified at the

un describe your experience in doing so. and do you think you succeeded in conveying to a large audience what you described? well, i mean facts, i'm stubborn and i whether it's a me or my colleagues and all the people who came before through the area format. it's an accumulation of facts which shar, consistence systematic, but we are dealing with a problem dealing bearing on cognitive dissonance in despise. the western states are concerned and so they cannot afford to concede a modicum of reality, which would serve what they call they perceive as the other narrative, the, or the russian decent formation. i mean, we were accused of basically setting up, you know, some kind of alternate reality to justify running aggression. this was,

you know, and the talking points, whether it's the u. k, u. s, and or false. you could see that the ad concerted themself prior to the session, and everybody was pelting each other's line as if to create, you know, a man try and, and parents, you know, do to, to summon something at a finance. it's a secret, very interesting and i admire you actually the, the staff of the people on a mission of the russian fashion for their patients because it can be sometimes quite annoying. will you alluded to a narrative being told how helpful, in your opinion, has the un been in mediating a resolution to this conflict? well, i would say the u. n is only as good as it's composed and make it. and to the extent that we have now a resurgence, some would say 2nd cold war, the un is but the reflection of that new reality. and so there's

a lot of pressure is being applied to us. i would say a smaller states to 2 sides. and as a result, was she deadlocks, you know, in the organs of the un. but i, i would think to say at the same time that the un now is all we have. and some might for a want to say that as a rule based order, which basically is another term for the law of the jungle. but the un system now, you know, is the only thing we've got in the extent we can develop a modest von die. we can start living together and taking into account people in all states, interest, and sovereignty as being chiefly among those interest, the un remains the indispensable legal for that. so have you yourself faced any opposition in your home country for your position on this conflict?

and for going to the dumbass. well i, i was curious, one day i was watching health mental entered my name is a search engine and sure enough there worth you were. unsavory in all remarks and while characterizations but that's powerful the course you got to stay. they got to stick to, you know, what you know is the truth. well, good. i know about a couple of things here are the people you saw coming from sol adar as well as the prisoners that you may have heard from. yes, well we actually visited this, so richard g triology center and a lot of the people they were coming from solider. and the 1st thing that struck me was that they would need lucca shell shocked. i mean that they had gone to well, literally and their life was taken away from them in a way their routine, their houses were destroyed and they lost their whipping. and so they arrive in

this kind of var, unstable environment, this kind of trends, friends each and point they need everything, supplies the new dia, administrative on site is to be sorted out. on the same time, there are security issues which require certain protocols to be implemented. and so it takes a lot of our sensitivity training in a way to assuage their concerns. and at the same time, make sure that they, they get everything they need as in, like yesterday and all. and they keep coming. so, i mean, every week in all the people was we were, we saw there. we know that in the week time for many of them there will be real kit is some place and, and others will come in think they'll place because default bind right now is what i understand really busy qualitative evolution. and i,

there's, i would say a collapse of the, of the front, and so the civilians are stuck in between. and i, i guess the cab regime is trying to lash out out of frustration on the civilians so we can expect more reproduce to coming. so this is going to be a challenge because you have to meet 3 aspect and then you have the you many tell you in aspect, then you have to kind of coordinated in such a way that things can keep flaw in throwing the right direction in the right way and, and, and you don't get overwhelmed by, you know, this sudden increase in refugees owing to the military situation. suddenly moving forward with all the by products on, on civilian now to begin a security and safety. so that, that was the main thing. an endless, far as the pure abuse is concerned. same thing. i mean we'd all those guys off in oil, but we saw a broken man, essentially

a they all add. it's one characteristics of people, one to when torture they were in this kind of a constant delayed, fused type of a suspension belief in or they were, they were finding the press conference, but they were not there. they were there physically, but not there mentally or emotionally, as if there were relieving what they went to. and it's somewhat described some of the that, that the torture that they were subjected to. they were, for some of them are beat up, been all over their bodies that forced to sleep by naked all night. the cool floor all this was done in a way where did the torture inspectors were making sure that there were no traces or so they knew where to eat to damage the internal organs very hard. and yes,

this was an a harrowing experience because own again and nobody how much you think that that person is trained. you know what a torture is, something that remains with you all your life and all those people. you know, the seemed i assume the affected in a way that's going to take probably years of counseling in a few nightmares last night. i'm sure. yeah. well arno, thank you for sharing your experience with us. we appreciated international human rights attorney and international lawyer. thank you. thank you. palestine ministry of foreign affairs has called on the west to pressure israel to stop the demolition of the village east of jerusalem. the call comes after residents of all con amar came out to protest against the demolition. the village which links the west banks north and south,

is part of an israeli plan to destroy the so called illegal buildings. locals could be seen waving palestinian flags and moister anger over the destruction. our people came today to tell nuts in yahoo then give ear and all the extreme astray wing officials that this land is palestinian. we did not allow the destruction of al hon. allah mark. this government led by the and yahoo had been given. we'll go to the dustbins of history, and the palestinian flag will continue to fly on this land which existed on this land before these railey government came unoccupied at a message to this railway occupation. we will not leave this place. this is all property, and we will remain here not, not what we are afraid that al, con alack mar may be demolished because have been fears, actions. his electoral campaign was to demolish al con alack! mar and he is now forced to do so that we spoke to the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative party mustafah bar gucci. who says that the real

goal of the cur, israeli government is to expel palestinians from their land. if i'm kind of like a necessity up, out of subject to the process of that being the other linens and the government to do if that happens, this will lead different loan because it will be perceived 1st. the role as an act of beginning the annexation of the ban on the spectrum of the potential for an independent. this is also another act that we can any potential on the so called to sticks. so in my opinion, these are very danger the facts and this will be stopped immediately and they can be only with the stuff on the ground as well as a serious international pressure on israel. threatening with voice divest, men,

sanctions. if it does not stop the processes of ethnic cleansing and delicacy, but more than that, this is really government includes. the people who are described even in israel as fashion. they are very in their goal is really to destroy, i mean, potential for being. and they continue to declare that the whole family is fine by the fun is exclusive for jewish people. so practically that if let's what, what can be called as jewish supremacy and system of apartheid. and racism good thing is there we go there, which will not be fulfilled, i hope is to expel from that land. and the question, not only but also to come to the last day and i did this and you know, why do you stand it? why didn't 55 years of military completion of the bank. and if you move on, as well as 75 years of ethnic cleansing, not assume good faction was used against,

allowing it to be above the low above international law. imbued the to responsibility in san to international law. this has led to the creation of the most extreme, chrysis government in this field, this fusion. and that is one of the direct result of this international behavior that continues to use double standards when it comes to posting image. ah, a wave of mass resignations among officials as gripping kiev tuesday saw ukraine's deputy prosecutor leave his post. the 3rd person of the day, the governors of su me to nap or upper osha and her son, also left their post this week, sparking speculations that these resignations could be linked to recent military blunders by the country's forces are t's. marina coursera has more. this is a huge shake up for ukraine because we're seeing changes in the government's

original authorities as well as the countries security services. and among the people who last, like you said, we have a key presidential advisor, the deputy defense minister. there's also the deputy prosecutor general. let's take it a little bit one by one and discuss what some of these people i've been accused of or involved in. for example, the presidential a to reload too much because he was implicated and scandals over the use of expensive cars. and one of those cars was apparently a car that was donated to transport civilians out of a combat zone. then we have faced him and then for the deputy prosecutor general, he went on a holiday to spain during the winter holidays. and this came out of time when tom government officials are not allowed to travel, leave ukraine, and that also go when it comes to law enforcers are also included and not less prosecutors as well. anyone who works for the states basically was that the reason

that he left, we don't know, it wasn't explicitly announced, but this is, was all a mere lansky had to say about there was shuffling. i want this to be clear. there will be no return to what used to be in the past to the way various people close to state institutions or those who spent their entire lives chasing a chair used to live. i think law enforcement officers who protect the law, the interests of the state and ensure justice you so we have in some cases in one month and scandals. and another case says we have a corruption that will get you out. so marina, what could be the possible reasons for the wave of resignations, theories, range of from a desperation and disappointments, everything that's happening on the battlefield to corruption will get to corruption in a little bit. the reason why some experts are saying that this may have something to do with how things are going on the battlefield because their heads all 4.
