that time inside her house in the camp of jeanine. and we have been able to speak to her daughter, she was with her mom at the time when it happened to try to give her 1st aid. but the woman died. i have to say that it has been very turbulent week here. all from the west bank they were shooting in the city of lord with the country's national security minister. eventually go into this scene and that provoked even more tensions. there were clashes also in the city of jericho, around the city of nablus, in the middle, the west bank. and this is this collation that many steered with these rows, new government hold ready cold the most for writing the country's history. we see that the situation on the ground is get more and more tense and violent to the ukraine conflict now were russian forces have been pressing for control of

this strategically important city of ogle adar in the donna ask region this unverified drone footage appears to show the aftermath of heavy fighting between ukrainian and russian troops as moscow's forces make their advance into the city r t. the roman co signer have sent us this report from the frontline. we are on the outskirts of the city of ogle the door. we are with the forces of the next republic sir. interior had been as free. we'll try and get as close to the door as possible . fighting there continues, as russian forces have already gain control over the nearby town next to glitter. the city of lazar is arrived behind me and you can probably, i see it's a heavy fighting continues right now as we speak at the moment sir. there are 2

formations here. one is of the internal ministry, often as republic and the other are the marines of russia's pacific fleet. now, the forces at the moment are in the suburbs of lazar. there is no street fighting, taking place right now. the plan is, according to my sources, is to execute a so called pincer movement, where the korean army will be encircled. meanwhile, russian defense ministry have also reported that the roads leading out of lazar towards ukraine are now also completely blocked. she thought the situation is stable. we are a storm in the city trying to clear the enemy from a gladder. people are waiting for us there and constantly calling this year. we have learned to identify all mater techniques, so they no longer work. the command has already changed tactics a little drawing conclusions from previous battles. and i repeat once again that we

know all the native techniques so off to resist, no little they will start to surrender and mass commander of the 3rd platoon is showing me the trenches that they have just taken over from ukrainian military. have to take a look. this is a looks like one of the flags of ukrainian regiments. 30341 o 2. now i'm not sure what this means, but so there's lot of ammunition here as well. there is a growing clothing that ukrainian military left and these trenches, or maybe about a kilometer highway from oak lazar intense fighting continues here on the outskirts of lazar. now we just raised a drone in order to film a little bit closer to the city to find out what's going on within the city limits

. however, we lost our drone according to the military, here, it was intercepted by ukraine. so right now, we are leaving this area according to the soldiers that i spoke with. they're hoping that the battle for lazar will and successfully for them very soon from on cause her a hearty dentist republic the private u. s. military group. mozart has denied allegations of being directly involved in fighting against russian forces. the companies director made those comments in an exclusive interview with our teeth going underground. not by anyone's consent, any common consent to the terms of carrying weapons. we're not finding. we are training the all and we're activating and seating civilians that you are recorded.

the saying ukraine is a corrupt job society. ukraine is in violation of a convention, probably sooner in london, probably sholtes in berlin. they're all saying no, with any hundreds of billions of dollars there it was the car, it was taken out of context. my boys and i watched it. i watch the interview on it was it was produced by a guy named max blumenthal. yes, i'm good. let me, let me get points that i that i said, yes. specifically, ukraine, what i all i said was saying, yes, ukraine has in the past had a, had a problem with corruption. that is undeniable. all right. and so me, prisoners of all is a violation of the geneva convention. my point is that if you are going to have the moral high ground and you're going to say, and i'm here, listen, i don't get my feet in my life. so a challenge, anyone to say, oh, you know, support you crime. a convention i every day i just every, we're going to the end i should just,

i was actually watching the video. you your guys put up my flu until the editor grays and said whether it was a whiskey talking randy milburn to learn the video i posted provides a clear and accurate depiction of his comments on the corruption of the great society, sick leadership and the propensity of its military to commit and videotape battlefield atrocities for its own sake. mill the day chasing the ukraine. a gravy train and get back on the wagon. i don't know. i mean, i'm like, oh yeah, you're reading from a blacksmith of course i don't agree from. look at his background. all right. i mean he is a, it is a man. all right. so the point is, why did he also that video? why did he, what i say with contest on? yeah, i stand behind her. you know, i love, i love you. trainees, i'm here on the risk in my life. you can keep trying maximum as i, he's, you know, i've, i've so didn't mike, see no one i'm going to that ukrainians have no problem with that video. because because they know the nature of russian disinformation and that, and,

and so you know what the point is, you don't support a side by simply spouting propaganda. you've got to be honest, on the same with united states. you just talk to me about what i write in my book where i criticize my own administration, my country's administration. this is the healthy aspect of the marketing. all right, you crane is a democracy. united states is marcy let's bring in some contacts the video that andrew milburn was discussing with the host of going underground option returns a was actually part of his recent interview on the team house podcast, where he shared his experience of working in ukraine. the mozart group founder did announce corruption in kiev and said he is actually quote, not a fan of ukraine. it's a corrupt society. the let you know. so i'm not, i'm no big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. when all like,

i happen to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no, because i understand that plenty of people running ukraine ukrainians are in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p o w. s. is filing the laura laura vom conflict. now here is independent journalists, max blumenthal, who re posted the previous video on twitter. he spoke about the mozart group director and the ladders claims that his comments were taken out of context. i don't know what could have been manipulated or taken out of context there. and as i said, i included a link to the full discussion which includes many more unguarded and incriminating comments that andy milburn made under the obvious, clear influence of the true serum known as whiskey and retired colonel andy milburn

was speaking to an american channel. and his comments or publicized on twitter by an american journalist, the person you see right here. and it was, they were viewed by a 1000000 people, mostly people in the west, outside russia, and scrutinized by them. and those comments were conveyed accurately, clearly, and without manipulation or distortion. what's more, i linked to the complete conversation he had with 2 american interviewers. so for him to call it russian propaganda must mean, maybe he's referring to a brand of whiskey called russian propaganda. although i think he was getting intoxicated off buffalo trace and left roy act the reason andy milburn is so reluctant to acknowledge that he said what he in fact did. and what i publicized before a twitter audience in

a video that now has close to 1000000 views, is because it affects his paycheck. he's relying on the ukranian state and the ukranian military to provide him with lucrative contracts. and when they hear him say that for him, it's not about ukraine because this is a sick society that he doesn't ru truly believe in ukraine, that he thinks that its soldiers are actually war criminals. they will no longer want to work with him. and so this is costing andy milburn business and war is a business for andy milburn and many other people in ukraine. the mozart group is a private military company that has said it is training ukrainian soldiers rescuing civilians and distributing humanitarian aid. its members say they haven't been involved in actual fighting on the front line. recently, the mozart group c, e o denied claim that the company is looking to expand its presence in conflict areas. however, journalists, max blumenthal again says the mozart group consists of mercenaries. the problem

here for andy melbourne, is that he offended his so called ukrainian partners, the people that he needs to justify his contracts and his paycheck. and that is why the mozart group of andy milburn pumped out a false hood laden absurd, almost insane twitter thread in ukrainian attacking me as a russian asset. i consider it unhealthy for the mozart group, which consists of armed mercenaries, including criminal class thugs, who are recruited from the most violent elements of societies around the world, from israel to ukraine. to be pumping out lies about me on their twitter page in ukrainian for ukrainian audience, andy melbourne's mozart group. falsely accused me of producing a deep fake video. when i conveyed his comments clearly with no manipulation,

i strongly suggest that andy milburn stopped chasing the gravy. the gravy train of ukraine aide and get back on the wagon for his own sake and for the sake of humanity because enough people have died, so that mercenary sociopath, like andy milburn can make a profit. ah, washington has been trying to pressure chick chia into allowing the nordic nations of sweden and finland to join nato. a senior us official has implied that your kids refusal to ratify membership for those countries could hold up other deals between washington and kara. simon in sweden are ready to join nato now, and we were grateful for the speedy ratification here. and as you know, almost all alice have now ratified, with the exception of, of hungry and turkey. this comes up in every single conversation we have with turkey, and we need this congress's support moving forward for the security enhancements

that we think that they need as allies of 16, some of them are old. but that this congress is likely to look far more favorably on that after ratification. meanwhile, the turkish foreign minister has stressed that on cars required for f. 16 fighter jets is entirely separate from sweden and finland nato aspirations. but this isn't the 1st time that washington has used weapons deals to pressure on kara, the u. s. removed turkey from a joint strike fighter program in 2019. after on car, i bought a russian missile defense system. now, us officials are reportedly threatening turkish individuals with jail time if they service sanction russian airliners. turkey is a major destination for russian tourists, accounting for a sizable source of income for the turkish economy. let's cross out to turkish political scientists,

owner cinema goes alton. welcome to the program. hello. hello. thank you. how effective do you think this latest attack by washington to pressure kiya into accepting sweden and finland zeta beds will be i don't think that this question from united states will change churches for the turkeys position. i bought the citizen and finance membership because these 2 countries and a specialist with them is sick. she is acting against turkish national interest. just a man to burn, burn only run in stockholm and just off just before they take a minute to make a protest against churchy in their capital. so i don't think that church will change is a position against the membership or for it then and the

well, what do you make of? and cars insistence that the question of at 16 acquisitions and nato decisions be handled separately. i took the government to still trying to keep the balance policy between west and east. that's why there is about 2 different subjects that they want to separate the 16 deal and not the membership of susan and the natal. but i don't think that the strategy will work well because united states is no more considering ally. and we can see the strategy feel it might be an action in north of syria in mid in c and in the support that they are giving to chris. so i don't think that the strategy to parade the subjects, if 16 and so we didn't finish the ation about nato. i don't think that the

for long that know then how do you expect on kara to respond to these threats? are these us sanctions for servicing russian commercial airliners? there was, there was a technical difficulties, so we apologized that was turkish political sciences own our sin on goods. alton. our t begins special coverage of 20 years since the us occupation of iraq, which has left an estimated $180000.00 civilians dead throughout the coming months . r t will examine the devastation that the war has had on the once oil rich country and the destabilization it cause throughout the middle east. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to

disarm iraq, to free people. and to defend the world from great. hm . room food and sleep. with back in january of 2003, then you as president george w bush outlined the basis for the subsequent invasion of iraq in his state of the union address. the speech entirely focused on iraq with bush calling the iraqi

leader, saddam hussein, a quote, brutal dictator with ties to terrorism. posing a direct threat to the united states. he pled should his arm hussein and bring freedom to the iraqi people. something the u. s. was supposedly already doing in afghanistan, kate of iraq is not disarming. to the contrary. he is deceiving from intelligence sources. we know, for instance, that thousands of iraqi security personnel are in work hiding documents and materials from the un inspectors. sanitizing special sites and monitoring the inspector in himself. if saddam shane does not fully disarm for the safety of our people and for the peace of the world, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. later it turned out that hussein had not ramped up his nuclear weapons program and what triggered the

american invasion and subsequent occupation of iraq appear to have been a quote pack of lies, the sea ice top weapons inspector in iraq. close the investigation, finding nothing in 2005, 2 years after the invasion. the u. s. war in iraq began on the 19th of march 2003. when the u. s. joined by its allies launched operation iraqi freedom. the coalition started a bombing campaign directed against the iraqi government and military installations . despite months of passive, massive anti war protests worldwide. u. s. forces invaded or rock from co way in the south within days and 3 weeks into the invasion. baghdad fell the years of invasion and the sub secret rise of the conflict was i ash have taken a grim toll on a rock and its people. there were at least 180000 documented civilian deaths in the country, while a number of household surveys estimate the actual figure to be closer to 1000000,

most iraqis died from aerial bombings, shelling and suicide attacks. over 9000000 people either fled the country or were left internally displaced. the us led coalition last almost 5000 of its own soldiers. the war also left many iraqis of different generations struggling to live with memories of loss and suffering. some of them shared their stories with us. ah, has had a michelle at either. the streets were packed with barriers and tunnels. i remember it. well. baghdad became a battlefield tanks and security forces of all kinds of been deployed there. wow. i up now. so. yeah, they are live, became a living. hell. because as a child you're supposed to see beautiful things, but we so bullets tags and kennedy, tara, for humanity, children and society as

a whole. there was nothing but war. oh, don't most of the families last members and i lost one of my brothers because of the bomb banks. the americans were killing everything in front of them. i know that and it, one of my sons wanted to celebrate his success with his studies. so my wife gave him money to buy some junk food and eat out with his friends and they sat to eat. they were an american bass. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot. the zip up my friends were killed by the explosion at that time. my neighbor was killed by the americans where he was going to buy a kenneth, who can guess they thought he was a suicide bomber and kill him, or love, hear the crowd chrisala. these are very difficult memories for me. a mortar shall fell at the door of our house and killed one of my playmates. ah,

nothing about the police to live in bagdad. our dreams were shattered. we wished to complete our studies that we could not because of the war and the killings in the streets. we had to leave our homes and go to the north. a with while i mentioned above the, i do with up the top, we were in baghdad who stayed at home and closed the windows, covered them with blankets. we were afraid of a chemical bombardment. we saw america come to us. they told us that a rock would become a paradise. they published news about how they were distributing food, but those were all false dreams. 8th, and only after i turned 14 years old was i able to leave the house with my friends before that i couldn't even think about it. i was afraid something would happen outside. and even now i don't want to leave without telling my family where i'm going. mm

. let go. what do you want? what do you remember my thursday at the kindergarten? the thursday i tell mattress cold, the textbooks shall picture the summer full my regime. but they took them away and gave us new, different books. i'll never forget the close up of a bullet. the sound of an explosion. images of smoke, an american soldier, a life full of blood. already showing jo hellboy, the americans arrested my father. he did not belong to any party. he was working at the market. he was kept in prison until 2018. i didn't have a chance to know my father after he was released, his health deteriorated, but took him to germany for treatment. but up to 4 surgeries, he died. ah, ah little you may say to me your childhood was stolen and i

didn't have a child food. i spend the money war and terrorist organizations, such as anti that among slaughter. americans bombing that kinda and kinda bowman americans. when we went to school, i used to walk along the wolf, so as not to be shot and killed. ah, the last half i lost idaho, my cousin, my brother in law. unfortunately, the americans did not fulfill the promise you how to rock because of your lost my loved ones. you hold as a lot. i wouldn't react him with the united states. you destroyed iraq, you, we can national sovereignty. and over 20 years, you fail to manage a rock. i wouldn't that we sent me a stop destroying stuff control in us. now resources, let the rocky people live in peace. i

mean, these are just some of the stories and voices from the decades long conflict. we will be bringing you more throughout the next few months in our special coverage of the build up of one of america's longest wars. and it's devastating legacy. ah ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer.
