a continuance of purposefully target civilians and committing even more war crimes as we are recording them here on the ground. cartesian, mon costs, rev live on the program. and let's keep a focus on where raymond was actually speaking from at the done yes. republic because this week, how seen, rushing for strengthen their position, their including advance on the ton of more income. it's on the outskirts of the city of done. yeah, it's kind of been a strong hole for you printing forces since 2014 or senior correspond america. gusty of census this report. ah. that was an enemy multiple rocket launcher systems strike on marrying. that is exactly where we're heading.

oh, our 24 hours in mud anchor began. now here, a flashlight, he's timed him out to suicide. slowly, half blind, we stumbled to our temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we are spending the night here in mud, in co, relatively relatively safe. the previous occupants here were ukrainian troops who were literally, as you can tell by the wools burned out of here. but this is also the answer as to why the battle for martin ca, 5 j kapinsky. why these battles the taking so long? and that is because these bunkers are everywhere built over the last 8 years by the ukrainian military. built in completely nondescript places above us. this is just a small family whom a private presidents, downstairs was a nom store and

a barracks for ukrainian soldiers. power is rationed, food, water, ammo, and fuel. i carried 4 miles before they get here. nothing is wasted. in the early hours of the morning we woke up to what fight as here. cool, an approximation of hell. a deafening call for the blasts and exclusions pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours ah, the 3rd

view of the battle ground or with these the ty area covered in smoke. he's way ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currenty russian artillery old sites and colors more does houses was air craft tanks ah ah, the she held on ukrainian ru credit troops. the battle for monica has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control. ukraine and its supporters,

they publicly admit, now, will never serious about peace stokes. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned my data into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable, almost. whoa. each would choose russian to suit $25.00 close support to close ground support their craft coming in very low firing their unguided munitions rockets and getting out before you gradient at the feds. us have a child. gods took the lock on an lodge. hm . day by day, month after month, russian troops of demolished ukrainian fortifications. here,

here has said thousands of drafted troops into the meat grinder to hold my tinker. but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us as certainly frankly, this is unpleasant for us destroying these buildings. the city it hurts our souls, but we have no choice. this is our land and the enemy has thrown its reserves at marin county. they use their troops as cannon fodder. they plug any holes with corpses of their own soldiers. they spare no lives. no big concern isn't that we're pushing, but there are difficulties. the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but we're pushing them back and advancing. ah oh, a round might inca artillery is everywhere. these automatic my launcher, the vice shall yoke, as if he had thing. ah,

muddy anger is strategically vital. it is a gateway to that yet. if you crane loses it, it will be a devastating blow to morale, both civilian and military. he of understands this, and it is willing to pall. thousands of its troops on to the pile to hold halter might inca, which may well be an approximation of hell. for ad gazda, of archie from madigan, ah, multiple explosions were reported in iran. overnights with the country's military confirming that wall of its ammunition storage facilities had been targeted in a drone attack. one of the drones was hit by the air defense and the other 2 were caught in traps and blew up. fortunately, this unsuccessful attack did not cause any loss of life and caused only minor

damage to the workshops roof. to round, say, say, attack did not significantly affect any military facilities and had no real impact on national security. the country's foreign ministry also stated it wouldn't change current plans for developing a domestic nucular energy program. us and this really media reports though have hail the attack as a quote. tremendous success claiming is really forced as we're behind it now. it must be pointed out. neither the iran or israel government have commented on that. well international affairs professor side mohammed mirandi believes arounds, quick response, neutralize the true intentions of the strike. well, 1st of all, one of the things that the iranians have done this time round. and this is something relatively new in the military that they're getting ahead of. so this time around, they immediately just like on

a previous occasion with regards to the someone who attacked on by john embassy in teheran, they suisse lee came forward. we been use themselves. so that is really the regime would not be able to again, create a false narrative, what happen the run, you know, quite well that this regime has been trying to attack the writing facilities in violation of international law course. and they prepare themselves. and on this occasion, the attack was a failure. i want to keep attention all around because the 2nd earth quick has shift in the countries north west this sunday, before that's overnight. another stronger earthquake measuring 5.9 on the richter scale is reported to have killed at least 3 people are injured,

more than 800. this is footage of the quakes aftermath in the city of coy, near the turkish border. houses were destroyed on debris seen in the streets. emergency services also reported power outages in the area and also in a runs north west. a massive blaze has engulfed a local oil refinery from the facility is near the epicenter of the initial earthquake occurred around the same time the fire god. however, the cause of the place remains on a run. state media reports that authorities are investigating these and no history to bring you finland has been quick to accuse russia of their reeling sweden's membership to nato. through its alleged involvement in the recent koran,

burning protest that stir attentions between nato member turkey and stockholm mosque was rubbish. the cont, we would like to understand, how does helsinki interpret the swedish colleagues behavior? who states that burning the koran is a freedom of self expression? does the finish foreign minister suspect stockholm has a pro russian sentiment? if we talk about this seriously, it is disgusting to see westerners trying to put together the word exceptional from the shards of their own values. well, it comes as a wage in relations between ankara unstuck. hm really has grown deeper with sweden's foreign minister announcing that recent events have prompted the temporary suspension of the process regarding his country's bid to join nato. it's been rumbling on a while. lot, all members, by the way, all the alliance must agree on the session of new states, hence the issue. the same diplomat, however, is confident that sweden will join the block by june. so while stockholm's quest to

join nato depends on anchorage approval, sweden should not count all nights. that's according to turkey's present register to one. the statement followed the recent burning of the koran in stockholm by a controversial far right politician, which brought hundreds of protesters on to the streets of istanbul. leader of the danish party, hardline rasmussen, pollute and set fire to his lamps. holy book with the permission of swedish authorities during his speech. she also brandon turkeys, president an islamist dictator. polygon is known for organizing similar stunts in the past, and was convicted of racism in denmark after posting an anti islam video on social media. an exclusive interview to our roughly video agency. the politician says he fears president her to one will hijack the issue. i think it's important to show out again that he can not take sweden hostage by,

by taking freedom of speech and making it into a defense matter. i would never burn a koran in turkey because it's illegal there. so i have to respect the turkish culture and the rules and turkey. and i think arrogant has to do the same. he asters, respect the rules in the holland, and then morgan sweeten. and here we are allowed to criticize islam. we feel that he is and that person and he wants to make her what you call it the abrupt limbs. but the most, the best thing we can do about that is to ignore him. while meanwhile, nato was military terminal, her claim, the alliance is prepared for a direct confrontation with moscow. for my german, parliamentary and martin doors are safe. the situation in the world today is a shaky one. an actors need to engage in dialogue to step back from a greater conflict. there is a very dangerous escalation spiral which can lead into a real big war, which would cause much more debt than now in the ukraine said enough to say that

some of the actors, the want this confrontation for the benefit of g of strategical aims on the record industry, so the idea to burn a koran to paint on any problem. this is indispensable because it's not dialogue. it's the same. like if you want peace in the world, you have to have dialogue in between the countries. all right, some stories from around the globe to bring, you know, in the west bank has really settlers for fortunately, porch local or a properties this weekend, the attack i left a car and a number of homes bodily damaged. it follows to terror attacks and which in just 2 days in israel, which left as 7 people dead also to

south america. violent clashes have a rupture between police and protesters in peruse capital lima reportedly leaving more than 20 officers injured demonstrations in support of the our states. peruvian president pedro castillo upping, taking place since december, often leading to brutal confrontations with police. and at least 10 children have drowned as a boat carrying religious school students capsized in a lake in pakistan. according to local officials, the government house organized military divers to search for the 8 children that are still missing in the lake in the countries north, west, 7 other children of being taken. charles little rushes foreign minister essays western powers are seeking to maintain their quote, exploitative policies in africa and plunder the continents resources. sir,

yell of ralph made those remarks alongside his are a tree and counterparts. while visiting the east african country on his tour of the continent, rocky in american british and other european delegations regularly come to africa and very stubbornly demand that african countries stopped cooperating with russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda which the west seas as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form, the stablish mint of a multi polar world is an objective, an unstoppable process. however, the collective west, the united states, nato, and the e u, which are completely under washington's control, are trying to reverse this. but their efforts are futile. the most the can count on is some slight inhibition of the object, of course, of history that i'm fortunately, the feel of the feel we can cut in. can you pang humanity in got rid of it? got to so i mean

a school proponent this of great and dummy notion that have in gravity, turmoil, he runs him on savaging and finally for centuries that has an 4000000 ukraine. he's an ethan, a byproduct of directly for you see ok. germany and containment that they had put, pursued in their fast because during his trip to r a tree, a mister love ross also visited a monument, celebrating the russian poet, alexander pushkin, or russian foreign ministry spokeswoman re as a horror of our underlined africa's positive attitude to the world now in writers legacy. she also criticized ukraine for demolishing historical russian and soviet monuments. ortiz africa responded cath, legal miss. so me brings us know some highlights of survey leverage to tour across

several african nations. sergei love. rob's visit to africa. seems to have been a successful one with the russian foreign minister meeting with leaders from several african countries as leverage expressed to rush of commitment to deepening its ties with africa and offered to provide assistance in areas such as energy, infrastructure and investment. the visit was seen as a sign of russia's growing presence in the continent and its willingness to work with african countries mainland to do but in the we outline priorities for business ties and mining exploration, energy in agriculture, including deliveries of russian grain as well as modern areas of collaboration, information and communications technologies and the digital economy. one of the countries visited was angola in 2019 russia and, and go to signed an agreement to expand co operation. the energy sake to including the construction of a nuclear power plant. but the bond between moscow and ongoing dates back to when

and good as ruling party, the imperial, a sort support from the soviet union during the civil war against the portuguese. now, during his visit, lever of drew parallels between the angolan war and the ukraine conflict. further reminding and guidance of the strides they have made thus far. on goods can the roads neither sill, the angolan people know the price of gaining independence. they know the price of gaining the opportunity to exercise their rights, cultural, traditional and political so. so you are also actively contributing to the fair regulation of various conflicts in your region. so through the african union and within the framework of sub regional associations, you are making a significant contribution to the mitigation of crises and to the peacekeeping efforts of african countries leverage. the other stop on his african tour was to the land locked kingdom of its like dealing out. the last absolute monarchy in

africa is contending with social political issues. that if thrust the country into deepening economic struggles and sporadic protests that have led to a volatile situation in the region and moscow's top diplomat had something to offer me the good it is, she would know we agreed during a meeting with the military leadership to increase security cooperation, we have existing inter governmental agreements on military and defense industry collaboration. there are working groups and we are ready to consider applications from our s, what teeny friends on any issues that need to be resolved to ensure this country security. now leverage south african counterpart minister now lady pendle, hosted him in any capital city of pretoria after he received a very warm welcome from south african military officials. this visit also comes at a time when south africa has been criticized for an upcoming naval exercise with russia and china. this to the waste seems to be

a reminder of the entrenched relationships. many countries have on the continent with russia and china. it also highlights the difficulty the u. s. faces globally in persuading countries that their interests a bit to served, aligning with washington on political and financial issues, which was thrown muscular booth and our countries are consistent supporters of a more just inclusive democratic and poly centric architecture. for the world order, which would rely on the in principle of the un charter, respect for the sovereign equality of all states. russian foreign minister sergey leverage a final stop was a surprise visit to reach her. yeah. and the horn of africa with him saying russia is looking into the enhancement of logistical infrastructure in the country with humor brown, of, among the long term plans that are to be worked out in detail. i would like to mentioned the possibility of utilizing the logistical potential of the port masala and the airport. the massage,

our airport is of interest for its transit capabilities. lev, rob's 2nd visit to africa, interest 6 months, seems to have cemented ties with some of the southern and eastern regional nations on the continent. while the minister described africa as a rich continent with colossal potential, it is the russia, africa summits, and will take place in saint petersburg in july, which will focus on 4 major issues, food and energy security, technology and health care that will elevate these relations into action plans that's a home, so me for archie johannesburg will this week i forget was offered a choice as we just heard, stegel of roth wants the compliment to help build a multi polar world. but washington's approach is more stick been car it. janet jaelyn said, quote, any violation of anti russian sanctions by local businesses or governments would be dealt with quickly and harshly. that statement came as the us treasury secretary,

wrapped up her 10 day tour of africa with zambia, a focus of the itinerary. the country itself is struggling with a dead tissue that the ellen was quick to blame on china ortiz crab. oh, la tata has the story is no secret that washington has beijing in his cross head. and here in africa, china is pervasive while the west was busy looking inwards since the financial crash of 2008. china was accruing wealth and technological know how and making friends around the world. but while in the zambian capital, us treasury secretary janet the ellen, played to our audience, claiming china is behind the african countries. that problem kind of rich pointing a finger taylor, though forgetting the 3 and pointing back. and then we will continue to press for

official bilateral and private sector creditors to meaningfully participate in debt relief for zambia, especially china. even if the u. s. one day solves is debt problem. it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against or press for other countries out of selfish interest because it can not at all alleviate yours tremendous responsibility for the reason of the world that issues where was western money when the developing world needed it. but the irony was lost and met him secretary on her arrival in new saga jaelyn lended at the kenneth go and the international airport experimented with chinese money. she would later exit their point on the wronged billed by the same money. and on that road, she noticed that the city of new saga is clad in chinese. same post showing new chinese companies establishing themselves in the corporate country. for another

fixture with reserves were mentioned that you know, chime as doing in ephesians, on base where the unfortunate yes or that i mused on quite some a lot of my local minds in africa environment, particularly. but they also create in the necessary infrastructure. i'd like to it is to for, you know, forever growing our population channels just over 3rd of zambia that so who holds the remaining to 1st are going to chatham us an independent policy. i think our biggest total extent on bed increased more than 5 volts between the year 2020, 20 to $696000000000.00 of which chinese companies account for 12 percent. and the institute says that china did not cause africa. that distress in most cases and it actually is key to finding solutions. the same chatham house paper recommends a 3 pud plan to be taken forward initially by the g 7 under the japanese presidency

in 2023. so what's been holding them back all this time when generate the elevated and i quote, we have many government programs and international programs that are oriented to help efforts to build infrastructure and close code. he was talking about loans, american and european loans with interest rates. she had been telling the continent since he landed here in the car, senegal above reforming the m f. m, the world bank to better cater to developing country. so what in the name of that distress has been holding the west bank? the west is coming back now after having done zambia and trying to re assert themselves as development pastors was on the i think they have to own it.

and we're not interested in the politics between america and china and russia. we're interested in just what is it that they need to the table. and clearly in the last 10 or 20 years, what we've seen come from the west is much more rhetoric a talk, how to governance, talk about structures of government, rather than actually putting money on the table and developing infrastructure which a come to like ours needs. so china has come and brought up these developments, zambia india has done the same and i believe that the west has to match what is currently going on. and not a lot of political rectory, which really takes us no way a rare up close and personal look next south, the russian wagner group, our documentary team asked the company soldiers, are they insulted when the west coast and mercenaries? i'm just wondering, is there ain.
