ah ah ah, 4 people are killed and 5 injured off to ukraine, uses us supplied rockets, the bridge, and the sample rows here we can not coming in from local authorities. turkeys president appears the problem as his response to fiddler linked to aspirations will differ from that of sweden's. it comes as a wage in relations with stockholm is driven in deeper following a recent koran burning protest. also with multiple explosions are reported in our route over nights with the country's defense ministry, stating it mothers to thwart. i'd throw that fact on an amunition. definitely live

reaction on that story. coming up, american, british and other european delegation demand that african countries stop cooperating with russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda, which the west sees as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form on russia is foreign minister condemns western countries for what he calls attempts to read colonize africa, pressure for the continent to sever, long standing with the top stories from the past 7 days, and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly here in r t. i'm, you know, there are 4 people have been killed and another 5 injured this sunday now, after ukrainian forces targeted

a bridge in this up at rosie. reaching out according to local authorities who say the strike was conducted with us supplied rockets. here's ortiz remind costs, read with more and more occur. what we now right now is that the ukranian nationalists, so launched a missile attack against a railway bridge across the mulch. now river, now authorities claim that ukraine used american made multiple launch a raucous systems called hi mars. once again now for maintenance workers were killed and another 5 were injured. they're not being cared for by medic at a hospital now. according to the head of the region, the men were performing renovation work at the facility during the strike. now this is just one of many attacks by key of regime against civilians over the last week alone. and just recently, 14 patients were killed at a hospital in logan's creegan after yet another high mars miss. i'll strike now

hearing donnette republic, a railway station in the rear city of villa vice was us frog on 2 different occasions. so over the last week, injuring to employees and the causing massive destruction. now according to investigators, ukraine is using difference misdialed sipes in elisa hi mars multiple launch rocket systems. now one is designed to blow up a specific object, while another is used to inflict maximum harm to people and infrastructure as its arms would the most deadly modification of ammunition called am 30 a one. now the m m 30 a one uses an alternative, a warhead instead of a gloucester warhead. it's armed with the 80000 tungsten car by balls. now this projectiles designed to cause maximum harm to civilians and infrastructure. now this is all in line with the gives authorities a continuance of purposefully target civilians and committing even more war crimes

as we are recording them here on the ground. ok to another of our headline stories today, the turkish president has hinted, he is ready to give a response about finland's natal ambitions, which will quote shock sweeten. it comes as tensions with stock o mind. following the recent burning of the qur'an in the swedish capital necessary, we can give a different message about finland, sweden. we'll be shocked when we give a different message about finland. while our take on computer rachel marston's been taking a closer look out the nato. a session saga amid the koran burning controversy? there's a lot of drama going on here, especially because a right wing danish political leader who also has swedish citizenship. his name's rasmus palo don. he's been on a koran burning tour, a 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 rich app air to one whom he feels is blocking sweden's membership in nato. i think it's important to show out a gun that he cannot 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 our gun has to do the same. hester's respect the rules in the holland and been morgan sweden. and here we are allowed to criticize islam. we feel that he is another person that he wants to make or what you call it the abrupt limbs. but the most, the best thing we can do about that is to ignore him. remember that or no 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 rom to join the u. s. sled military alliance and sweden and finland are kind of 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 in the 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 helene, which is which they're also missing the fact that this turan 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 . there 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, the same police horace refused to authorize a permit for a similar protest outside of the israeli embassy. so did the invisible hand of a kremlin 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 that, 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 rushes fault. multiple explosions were reported in a run overnight on saturday with the country's military confirming mouth, one of its ammunition storage facilities have 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. yeah, just expanding amount to unsafe, the tech 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 nuclear energy program

u. s. and is really media reports though, have hail the attack as a quote. tremendous success claiming is really forces where behind it neither the around or is really governments of commented while to discuss this more or less welcome on to the program journalist on the editor and martin jay who specializes in the middle east region. you're most welcome martin. israel hudson commented on the blast so far, but some media outlets there have claimed the country was behind the strike. how do you see it? yeah, i think you're talking about it will street journal. i think that says more about the particular newspapers geopolitical leanings than anything else, but i don't think we can read out. i don't think i wrote down the israel, did it as a history, as a pattern of these strikes in iran going back is and it's got more sense fingerprints over do you also take anything from the timing of the attack?

just the point died. the us secretary of state as june, israel on monday. yes, lincoln's too in monday. that's his 1st visit of the new coalition government. but also if you take a step back a few a few yards and look at the bigger picture we've had reports in the last couple of days from american news was saying, the iran now has enough 60 percent enrich uranium to make its 1st bomb. i think that combined with this new government on this particular paranoia that netanyahu has, which is that he believes that the americans need to be reminded constantly of iran's ministry capability or the answer perspective. and it seems to make sense of the timing is absolutely perfect. if confirm this would be the 1st attack under the new and what many describe bus particularly hard line government benjamin netanyahu. do you expect the anti rena position to intensify helping us to? yeah, i mean, that's lou that the, all the signals are there. and the message from the biden camp is that, you know,

we still buttons go on the record to say things around deal the, the, the negotiations which some fell down, which will apartment j. c, p o, the circle around nuclear do collapsed during champs campaign. that supposed to have a new inertia to it but, and said he thinks the deal's dead. but the europeans actually help bent on keeping it going. so i think that's also very much part of the story is that they're all israelis and hawks within congress and america who really want this to be completely dead stumped into the ground and want to push around over line. so it becomes a completely rogue state. there's no opportunity whatsoever for even talks for the iran deal to run has repeatedly stated it's only seeking to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, particularly know the the way the globe is looking at why does israel martin

dismiss are totally out of hand. that might be the reason why this is occurring, you will, they don't trust iran, they never have done. there is, there is that this, this fervent distrust of the, of the regime. and the iranians also believe that like some americans, like some hawks in washington they days, railways believe that it's only a question of time before this regime tumbles. and with the protests that's called protests on the, on the rise, the going on and the, the collapse of the local currency, which is making the news every day. you know, there is a certain belief, a mindset that iran is not very far away from reinventing itself. you know, the government would collapse and, and something perhaps more modern, more international might take, it might take its place. so that's really the mindset. that's what these readies

are thinking about now, what, which really does explain the context of these sort of attacks and what the strategy is with with his some with his regime. just finally, over the last few years, we saw a type of approach small with israel and other countries in the region. some has gone by the way aside, but others have continued. you think israel ran relations could ever improve in the near future of the can? i mean it's not out of the question. it's hard to know. you called this new government in israel, which is which is even more hard line anti around you know, what i think probably go is there is a sudden idea in the west that we need to go. ready to negotiating table with the iranians and play hard with them rather than except that what trump did in 2018 was pull out of the j. c. p. o. a pull out the rank of a nuclear, jo and the americans were basically guilty of putting

a will to halting the entire thing. so we have to accept responsibility in the west and that's not happening. and that's why these negotiations is difficult. a generally believe that the rain is still won't be around until to go ahead, but they've got a lot of conditions which they want met because it won't be tricked again. they don't be fooled again by an administration. any american ministration cleaner? the rug from underneath them again. so you know, for the deal to go ahead, we need your pins to engage much more. we need a different mindset from the diamond cabinet. don't see that happening in the, in the, in the near term. really interesting analysis. i was always thanks for your time today. journalist and author, martin j live and r t. okay, let's keep attention all around. we're a 2nd to earthquake and 24 hours has shaken the country's north west this sunday earlier, another stronger earthquake measuring $5.00 on the richter scale is reported to have killed at least 3 people on the injured more than $800.00. this is footage of

the quick, softer mouth and the city of coy, near the turkish border. houses were destroyed and debris seen in the streets. emergency services also reported power outages in the area. also going around the north west must have blaze as in golf, the local oil refinery plant. the facility is near the center of the initial earthquake occurred on the same time. but the exact cause of the blaze remains on known authorities are continuing to investigate the incident. well, we heard from fishery or side mohammed brandy of the university of to run. he seized up despite the damage. the loss of life as well radians will not be expecting my porting of global support or even simply western countries are sanctioning ordinary iranian they, they've imposed maximum pressure sanctions on iran for a decade. its maximum pressure because they cannot do more harm, right?

if they're doing as much as possible to, to kill ordinary iranians to create a lack of medicine to destroy job, to destroy families. so western countries have no intention of giving any real humanitarian assistance to anyone. if they stop killing people and harming people that would be more than enough. re running the rushes foreign minister this week said western powers are seeking to maintain their quotes. exploits of policies in africa and plunder the continents. resources circulate for off made the remarks alongside is are a tree in contra part 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 russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda for which the west seas as the restoration of colonial

dependence in a new form. the establishment of a multi polar world is an objective and 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 that can count on is some slight inhibition of the objective course of history that i'm fortunately the feel of the feel we can cut in. can you pang humanity in god? debit cut the so i mean a school component piece of grief and dummy notion that have indicated turmoil amongst him and savaging and bailey, for centuries. that as an forbidden grey e n e n, a byproduct of the reckless policy. ok. germany and containment that they have put,

pursued in the past, the case. yeah, i want to show this as well. during his trip to our a tree, the minister visited a monument erected in honor of the russian court. alexander pushkin's men pressed remarks them from russia's foreign ministry. a spokeswoman maria, a horror of a who underlined africa's positive attitude to the world were not writers legacy, but also criticized ukraine for demolishing historical russian monuments. ortiz africa correspondent, count lego m. so me as the i lights, sub circle of roster across several african nations. sergey loves visits 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 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 prisons in the continent and its willingness to work with african countries mainland to do. but in children, 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, 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 win and good as ruling party, the m p l, a sort support from the soviet union during the civil war against the portuguese. now, during his visits lever off drew parallels between the and golden war and the ukraine conflict, further reminding and guidance of the strides they have made thus far. on good can roads no. similar,

the angolan people know the price of gaining independence. know the price of gaining the opportunity to exercise their rights, cultural, traditional and political. you are also actively contributing to the fair regulation of various conflicts in your region, both 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 protests that have led to a volatile situation in the region and moscow's top diplomat had something to offer regularly sooner. we agree 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 the 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 thermal muscular booth. and our countries are consistent supporters of a more just to inclusive democratic and poly centric architecture for the world

order, which would rely on the main ansible 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 retrieve and the horn of africa with him saying russia is looking into the enhancement of logistical infrastructure in the country. with humor rama among the long term plans that are to be worked out in detail. i would like to mention 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 in just 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. that will take place in saint petersburg in july, which will focus on for me to issue food and energy security technology and health

care that will elevate these relations into action plans that hm saw me for archie, johannesburg will a more combust of even threatening approach to africa was taken by the u. s. this week, wrapping up a 10 day tour of the continent. treasury secretary jollity, 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 zambia, a focus of the officials, itinerary, the country struggling with a debt issued that yellen was quick to blame on china, as ortiz, corolla, tata texas through is no secret that washington has beijing in his cross head. and here in africa, china is pervasive while the west was busy looking inward 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 general, the ellen, played to our audience, claiming china is behind the african countries. that problem kind of rich pointing a finger. china, though forgetting the 3 and pointing back in 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 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 lusaka yellow lended at the kenneth go in the

international airport experimented with chinese money. she would later exit their point on the road, billed by the same money. and on that road, she noticed that the city of new saga is cleared in tany same post, showing new chinese companies establishing themselves in the corporate country for another sick bed with reserved look, we'll mention that you know, chime as doing in ephesians on base. quite the unfortunate yes or the chinese on quite some a lot of those local mines in africa than men particular, but they also create in the necessary infrastructure. and that is needed to, for, you know, for ever growing our population channel hold just over a 3rd of zambia that so who holds the remaining 2 thirds? according to chatham of an independent policy official. because total extent on bed

increased more than by falls 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 chart. um 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 can it the elevator and i coat, 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 rate. she had been telling the continent since he landed here in the car selling up above reforming the m f. m,

the world bank to better cater to the developing country. so what in the name of that distress has been holding the west bank, the west is coming back now after have been i don't zambia and trying to re assert themselves as developing pastors or sounds. yeah. 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 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 and talk about governance, talk about structures of government rather than actually putting money on the table and developing infrastructure which a country 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. okay, just tell different some stories from around the globe before we go in. the west bank is really settlers have reportedly towards local palestinian properties. the attack took place over nights and left a car. 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 had ah, 2 south american revive enclosures hover, rutted once more between police and protesters and peruse capital. lima, reportedly leaving more than 20 officers injured demonstrations in support of

allison peruvian president. fed pro castillo, have been taking place since december, often leading to brutal confrontations with sad news. at least 10 children have drawn to house a boat carrying religious schools. students capsized in a lake in pakistan. according to local officials, b, islamabad. government has organized military divers to search for the 8 children that are still missing in the countries northwest. okay, a no holds barred look next that new naziism on the streets of america. we examined how some managed to find a more positive way to live their lives and how some didn't healing from hate drive ahead.
