gusty had filed this report from the ground. ah, that was an enemy multiple rocket launch, a system strike, one might ink. that is exactly where we're heading. wow. or 20 full hours in mud, inca began now. here of flashlights. he's timeout to suicide. slowly, half blood, we stumbled to a temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we are spending the night here in modern co, relatively relatively safe. the previous occupants here were ukrainian troops who were literally, as you can tell by the wolves burned out of here. but this is also the answer as to

why the battle for marrying ca 5, g kapinsky. why these battles are 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 residence of downstairs was unarmed, store and 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 with a deafening company of blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end. all of this footage we filmed in mere

hours 3 says i a view of the battle girl. whoa, whoa. this, the tie area covered in smoke is where ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currently, russian, artillery of all sites and colors. more does houses was air craft tanks. ah

ah, the she hel, ukrainian, or you credit troops. the battle for mad inca has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control. ukraine and its supporters, they publicly admit now we're never serious about p stokes. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned my income into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable. almost. whoa . each would choose russian to $25.00 close support to close ground support their craft coming in very low flooring there and

guided munitions rockets and getting out before you gradient at the fences have a child constant de la gordon lodge who's day by day, month after month russian troops have demolished ukrainian fortifications. here, here has said thousands of drafted troops into the meat grinder to hold america. but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us as thoroughly, frankly, this is unpleasant for us destroying these buildings. the city it hurts our souls, but we have no choice. this is our land. 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 dickinson is. we're pushing, but there are difficulties,

the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but were pushing them back and advancing. ah, heard a round mud. inca artillery is everywhere. these automatic my launch of the what shall yoke is if he had thing i'd muddying guy 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 modica, which may well be an approximation of hell. for i guess the of odds he from

madigan, ah, another story to bring you in the program multiple explosions were reported in iran, overnights with the countries military confirming that one of its ammunition storage facilities had being 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 run, say, say it sound 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 on this really media reports though, have hail the attack as a quote. tremendous success. beaming is really forces where behind it, neither the around or is really governments have commented former world studies

head of the university of to run side mohammed mirandi believes runs, 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 the years. so this time around, they immediately just like on a previous occasion with regards to the someone who attacked on by john embassy in town. on may sweeps, we came forward with the news themselves so that 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 running facilities in

violation of international law, of course. and they found themselves on this occasion. the attack was a failure. let's keep attention on around because love is where a 2nd earth quick chicken, the countries northwest this sunday earlier, another stronger earthquake measuring 5.9 on the richter scale is reported to have killed at least 3 people and injured hundreds. this is footage of the quakes aftermath in the city of ploy. near the turkish border. houses were destroyed and debris seen in the streets. emergency services also reported power outages in the area also in around northwest and must have something called a local oil refinery flood. the facility is near the epicenter of the initial earthquake occurred around the same time, but the exact cause of the plays remains on the authorities are continuing to investigate. the instant the turkish

president have hinted, he's ready to give a response about finland's natal missions, which will quote shocks when it comes as tensions with stucco mind. following the recent burning of the koran in the swedish capital. if necessary, we can give a different message about finland. sweden will be shocked when we give a different message about finland a while for more on the nato. a session saga. let's speak to our tea contributor rachel mars. and hi there. rachel at president her to one clearly enough backing down here. take us through what lay off to his latest statement. yeah, well there's a lot of drama going on here, especially because a right wing danish political leader who also has sweetest citizenship. his name's rasmus palo don. he's been on a koran burning tour,

basically burning the holy book in copenhagen in front of the russian turkish embassies and inside a mosque there. and before that, he did exactly the same thing outside the turkish embassy in stockholm, and he's been pretty blunts in the swedish press about his motivations. basically, he's angry with turkish president reach ap air to one whom he feels is blocking sweden's membership in nato. 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 and 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 denmark and sweden. and here we are allowed to criticize islam. we feel that he is, and that person that he wants to make, what you call it the abrupt limbs. but the most, the best thing we can do about that is to ignore him. so remember that

early one has demanded that sweden 1st extradite about a 130 political opponents of whom he qualifies as terrorists before he considers lifting turkey's veto for stock rum to join the u. s. sled military alliance and sweden and finland are con. like a to, for one package deal for joining nato, like brother and sister puppies at the pet store. you can't just adopt separately. a few days ago, finland's foreign minister suggested that helsinki could run ahead india ascension process without sweden. but that basically went over like a lead balloon in both sweden and finland. it's like how could you leave one poppy behind at the pet store and just take the other one home. so it's clear that the conflict is between turkey and sweden with this koran burner, underscoring that point. but finland is now claiming without evidence, by the way that the invisible hand of the kremlin is somehow controlling this karen berner, even though he's demanding nato expansion,

which is precisely what russia opposes. you have to wonder how on earth they came up with that one. do they have one of those crazy conspiracy boards with all the lines of yarn running between all the photos of different people and entities and all pointing back to russian president vladimir putin? first, russia is responsible for sweden and finland wanting to join nato. they say, and now rush is responsible for this guy, not wanting them to join. somehow they need to kind of pick a lane, which is which they're also missing the fact that this karen burning has been widely condemned in russia, which has a muslim population. second, only in size to the orthodox christians, and that the russian embassy in denmark was also targeted by disguised koran burnings. moscow condemned that stunt. and also the fact that stockholm police had issued a permit for the plan protest in front of the turkish embassy and ultimate burning

their like i guess if it was just going to be another garden variety exercise of free speech. but the same police force refused to authorize a permit for a similar protest outside the israeli embassies. so did the invisible hand of a problem. also cross swedish authorities to exercise poor judgment. in any case, whatever sweden and finland managed to do, whether they get around to actually joining nato or not. if they do, they'll be integrating a peaceful, strictly defensive alliance. as nato officials have repeatedly said, well, except when it comes to russia. we are ready to a direct confrontation with russia. we are, we are ready if they would have an idea to, to come to metal from koran burners to decisions of

municipal authorities, to squabbles between countries. whatever happens, apparently, it's all now, just russia's fault. i did enjoy the puppies analogy, we'll find out who the big dog is though in the next couple of days, i am sure our 2 countries are rachel marson. many things not russia's foreign minister this week said western powers are seeking to maintain their quote. exploit is a policies in africa and plunder the continents resources circle of ralph made those remarks alongside is are a tree and counterpart 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 stop cooperating with russian and avoid breaking away from the common agenda which the west seas as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form. the stablish ment of a multi polar world is an objective,

an unstoppable process. however, under 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? cut to so i mean a school profile and piss of grief and dummy notion that have in gravity turmoil amongst him and savaging and barely for centuries that has an forbidden grey ease. and he says a byproduct of direct link for you see ok. germany and containment that they have for it pursued in their fast the case. yet during his trip to r,

a tree of the minister also visited a monument of the russian poets. alexander pushkin, wild rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman and maria sahara underlined africa's positive attitude to the world renowned writers legacy. but in contrast, she criticized ukraine for demolishing historical russian monuments. ortiz africa corresponded cat legal missile. me was the highlight. seltzer. busy gloves, tour across several african nations, said gala from visits to africa, seems to have been a successful one with the russian foreign minister meeting with it is from several african countries, as lever off, expressed russia's 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 new to lou,

give them the we old line 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 angola signed an agreement to expand co operation. the energy sector, including the construction of a nuclear power plant, but the bond between moscow and, and girl, it 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 and golden war and the ukraine conflict, further reminding and goldens of the strides they have made thus far. and goods can the roads know earth similar the golden people know the price of gaily 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 have thrust the country into deepening economic struggles and sporadic that is related to a volatile situation in the region and moscow's tuck diplomat had something to offer me the ability to see 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 count apartment as the 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 better served, aligning with washington on political and financial issues which was ferment muscular boots in our countries are consistent supporters of a more just inclusive democratic and poly centric architecture for the world order, which would rely on the main principal of the un charter respect for the sovereign

equality of all states. fresh and foreign minister sergey leverage. a final stop was a surprise visit to retrieve and the horn of africa with him saying russia is looking into the enhancement of logistical infrastructure in the country. with humor lam 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. leverage 2nd visit to africa, interest 6 months, seems to have cemented ties with some of southern an eastern regional nations on the continent. while the minister described africa as a rich continent with colossal potential, it is the russia, africa summit, that 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

hm saw me for archie johannesburg. well, a more combative, even threatening approach to africa was taken by the us this week. wrapping up a 10 day tour of the continent. treasury secretary janet ellen said quote, any violation of anti russian sanctions by local businesses or governments would be dealt with quickly and harshly. that statement came in zombie our focus of the officials itinerary. the countries struggling with a debt issued that yellen was quick to blame on china ortiz corolla tartar picks up . the story is no secret that washington has beijing in its cross head. and here in africa, china is pervasive. while the west was busy looking in what, 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 thing guy. china. though forgetting that 3 appointing, back as them 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 interests because it can not at all alleviate yours tremendous responsibility for the reason of the world that issues where was west than many when the developing world needed it. but the irony was lost unmet him. secretary on her arrival in lusaka yellow lended at the kenneth go in the international

airport expanded 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 lusaka is clad in tany same post, showing new chinese companies establishing themselves in the corporate country. for another fixture with reserves were mentioned that, you know, china is doing in ephesians on various quite the unfortunate yes or the chinese on quite some looked was a local mines in africa environment particular. but they also create in the missing infrastructure about his new to do for, you know, for ever growing our population channel, hold just over a 3rd of zambia debt. so who holds the remaining true faith? according to chatham, us an independent policy official, i because total extent on bed increased more than by falls between the year 2020, 20 to 690 $6000000000.00,

of which chinese companies account for 12 percent. and that is, the truth says that china did not cause africa, that distress in most cases. and it actually is key to finding solutions. the same chart, m house paper recommends a 3 pod 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 kennedy ellis said, and i quote, we have many government programs and international programs that are oriented to help efforts to build infrastructure, closed 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 selling up above reforming the i m f, n the world bank to better cater to developing countries. so what in the name of

that distress has been holding the west bank? the west is coming back now after having a dance zambia and trying to re assert themselves as development, pastors for sound. yeah, i think they have to ernest and we're not interested in the politics between america and china and russia. we're interested in just what is it that they are the needs of the table. and clearly in the last 10 or 20 years, what we've seen come from the west is much more rhetoric or talk about governance, talk about structures of government rather than actually putting money on the table and developing infrastructure, which i come to like ours needs. so china has come in and brought us these developments or 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. i'm finally some stories from across the globe in brief, in the west bank. israeli settlers have reportedly torched local palestinian properties . the attack took place over nights and left a car and a number of homes badly damaged. it follows to terror attacks in just 2 days in israel, which left 7 people dead near at jerusalem synagogue also ahead. ah, milan clashes have a rough day between police and protesters in perused capitol, lima, reportedly leaving more than 20 officers injured demonstrations in support. abolished peruvian president petro castillo, have been taking place since december, often leading to brutal come from t.
