heard my story did not seem to challenge with a, with multiple explosions are reported in or run over nights with the country's defense ministry, stating it knowledge to thwart a drone attack. amunition depot also a head on the program. today. 4 people are killed and 5 injured after ukraine uses us supplied rockets to hit a bridge in this upper rogia region that's coming in from the local authorities. turkeys president appears to promise and chris response to the next show

aspirations will differ that up. sweden's, a comes as a wage in relations with stock. home is driven and deeper following a recent around burning protest. also, american, british, and other european delegations 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's foreign minister condemned western countries for what he calls attempts to re colonize africa, made pressure for the continent to sever long something, ties with the top stories from the past 7 days, and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly r t. and then we'll get to those headlines. reason just a moment,

but 1st the con boy of truck's heading from a rock has been attacked from the earth near the syrian border out according to media reports, some of which suggests that the vehicles where are really in this video circulating on social media reportedly shows the aftermath of the strikes the vehicles were said to have been targeted by. busy on identified planes in the east of syria. well, not instant comes after multiple explosions were heard. you're reported in iran over night with the countries military confirming one of its munition 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. while the country foreign ministry also stated the attack wouldn't change current plans for developing a domestic and nuclear energy program. us is really media reports though have hail the attack as a quote. tremendous success stemming is really forces were behind it. neither around or israel have commented on mud, but journalists, martin j believes the and spin follows a pattern of previous is really strikes on the country or the, as he wrote down the israel did it as a, as a history, as a pattern of these strikes in iran going by is and it's got subs fingerprints over, but also if we 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 paranoid netanyahu has,

which is that he believes that americans need to be reminded constantly of iran's ministry capability put into perspective. and it will simply make sense. and the timing is absolutely perfect, or keeping attention on iran where a 2nd earth quick in 24 hours has shaken the country's northwest earlier. another stronger quake measuring 5.9 on the richter scale is reported to have killed, least as 3 people, and injured more than 800. this is footage of the earthquakes aftermath in the city of quoi, near the turkish border. houses were destroyed on debris. it seemed scattered across the street emergency services reported power outages in the area as well. also in the runs northwest and must have blaze engulfed local oil refinery fund. the facility is near the epicenter of the initial earthquake with the fire

occurring around the same time its belief. but the exact reason behind these huge flames we're seeing remains all known. authorities are continuing to investigate the incident where we spoke to professor side mohammed mirandi of the university of tierra he seized up despite the damage the loss of life as well. scene with the earth quick, iranians won't be expecting an outpouring of global support or even sympathy. western countries are sanctioning ordinary iranians. they, they've imposed massive pressure sanctions on iran for a decade. its maximum pressure because they cannot do more harm you, right. if they're doing as much as possible to, to kill or near you run in the create a lack of medicine to destroy jobs, to destroy families. so western countries have no intention of giving any real humanitarian assistance to anyone. if they stop killing people or harming people

that would be more than enough re run for people have been killed and another 5 injured after ukrainian forces targeted a bridge and this up. what was your region on sunday? that is, according to local authorities, who say about the strike was conducted with us supplied rockets. here's ortiz remind culture with more on what occurred. 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 the ukraine used american made multiple launch a raucous systems called high mars once again. now for maintenance workers were killed and another 5 were injured. they're not being cared for by medic said, 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 le ganske region after yet another high mars missile strike. now here in the nest republic, a railway station in the rear city of villa vice was us frog on 2 different occasions. so all the last week injuring to employees and the causing massive destruction. now, according to investigators, ukraine is using different missile types in at least a high 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 with 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 cluster warhead. it's armed with the 80000 francs and car by balls. now this

projectile is designed to cause maximum harm to civilians and infrastructure. now this is all in line with a key of south doroty, a continuance of purposefully target civilians and committing even more war crimes as we are recording them here on the ground. can other story we are across to day, the turkish president has hinted, he's ready to give a response about finland's nature ambitions, which will quote shock sweden. 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, but finland should not make the same mistake. sweden dead. both countries are seeking in the session in to nate, so no finland's foreign ministry say that has not received any statement from

turkey about health, and he bid to join the lines. but r t contributor rachel marston's been taking a closer look at the nato. a session saga and the carol burning controversy. 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, a basically burning a 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 ray jap 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 our gun has to do the same. he esters, respect the rules in the holland, and been marg and sweden. and here we are allowed to criticize islam. 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 turkeys. vito for stock run 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 in the ascension process without sweden, but that basically went over like a lead balloon in both sweden, in fennel. 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 koran burner. 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 russia 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, 2nd 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 force refused to authorize a permit for a similar protest outside the israeli embassy. so did the invisible hand of a kremlin also caused me this 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 russia's fault, some stories in brief from around the world and the west bank is really settlers have reportedly torched local palestinian properties. the attack took place over nights on left vehicles and a number of homes badly damaged. it follows to terror attacks in just 2 days in israel, which left 7 people dead near e. jerusalem synagogue also ahead. ah

dear. turning out to south america, violent flushes hover, opted between police and protesters, and perused capitol lima reportedly leaving more than 20 officers injured demonstrations in support of our state. peruvian president, pet through castillo, have been taking place since mid december, often leading to brutal confrontations with at least 10 children. nature tween 11 and 13 have tried as a boat carrying religious schools. students capsized in a lake in pakistan, according to local officials. the islam about government has organized military divers to search for the other children, still missing with 6, having already been rescued in that lake in the countries northwest

at russia's foreign minister. this week said western powers are seeking to maintain their quote, exploitative policies in africa. and plunder the continent's resources, sir gala ralph made the remarks alongside his retreat counterpart while visiting the east african country on his tour of the continent. rocky and ms. lamb, 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 which the west seas as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form. you establish mentally, multi polar world, is an objective and unstoppable process. however, the collective west, the united states, nato, and the you, 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 objective course of history, or i'm fortunately,

the feel of the feel we can cut in. can you pang humanity in got rid of it? cut the so i mean a school proponent this of greek and domino ocean that have indicated turmoil a most him and savaging. and finally for changes that as an forbidden ukraine ease and ethan at byproduct of direct let's for you see ok. germany and containment that they had put, pursued in their fast the case. by the way, during his trip to r a tree, the minister also visited a monument erected in honor of the russian poet alexander pushkin. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman emery. as a horror, underlined africa's positive out at you to the world. we're now in writers legacy. or do you know the contrast to ukraine's demolishing of historical russian monument

ortiz africa correspondent, catholic, go miss. so me. as the highlights from serial of ross tour, several african nations during the possible said gala robs 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 presence in the continent and its willingness to work with african countries, mainland, new to lou. 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 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 visits 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. on goods can the roads no symbol. the angolan people know the price of gaining into and, and they 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, though 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 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 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 san 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 thermal muscular booth. and our countries are consistent supporters of a more just inclusive democratic and poly centric architecture. for the world order was would rely on the main principal of the un charter. respect for the sovereign equality of all states. fresh and foreign minister sergey love robs 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 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 summit that will take place in saint petersburg in july, we shall focus on for me to issue food and energy security technology and health care that will innovate these relations into action plans that hm saw me for archie johannesburg. will 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 yellen 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 country struggling with a death issue that yellen was quick to blame on china. bizarre teeth corolla totter texas through is no secret that washington has beijing in his crosshead. 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 janet 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 appointing beck. and then we will continue to press for

official bilateral and private sector creditors to meaningfully participate in debt relief for zenobia, 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 western lenny, when the developing world needed it. but the irony was lost unmet m secretary on her arrival in lusaka, jaelyn, lended at the kenneth go and 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 played in tany same post, showing new chinese companies establishing themselves in the corporate country. for

another fixture with reserves were mentioned that you know, chime is doing interference on various quite the unfortunate yes or the chinese on quite some looked was a lot of miles in africa environment particular, 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 a 3rd of zambia debt. so who hold the remaining to 1st, according to chatham, us an independent policy of the truth. our biggest total external debt increased more than by falls between the $22020.00 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 pad 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 elevator and i coat, we have many government programs and international programs that are oriented to help efforts to build infrastructure, closed code. she 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. m, the world bank to better cater to developing countries. so what in the name of bed 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 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 are come to like ours needs. so china has come and brought these developments. suzanne via 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 rhetoric, which really takes us no way will our to review all the news week for now, but to stay close as our programs get there starting moment. see what showing where

you are today help to the shortest breaks ah ah ah, well oh oh oh oh, i know ah, with

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic or development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk. i was standing in an alley smoking a joint one day and a man came up to me and he pulled the joint from my mouth and he said, don't you know that that's what the capitalists and the jews want you to do. we were violent towards those people because we believed that were the superior race.

we were here 1st and this is our pantry, guns, ammo, still tow doc martens, tattooing violence just just prerequisite to enter or exit 3 walked off like i could see this looking to cease. i fear like he feared me being part of that movement. i got to feel a sense of power. when i felt powerless, i got attention when i felt invisible and accepted when i felt that level, we had a strategy. we wanted to clean our image up and make our message more palatable to the masses. don't get tattoos don't shape your head. don't get arrested. go to college, joined the military, keep your head down. go mainstream news. news

ah hm.
