watching all the international. mon is peter scott. i'm joining us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis, or start off this hour in these upper osha region where according to reports from local officials of police officers died in a car bomb explosion on the blast occurred in the city of america. don, you can see the latest pictures from the scene here on your screens, but there's no information yet on what caused the explosion or who could be behind it. however, the regions of approach on campus on have previously seen similar incidents with russia claim in the local authorities are being targeted by the ukrainian secret services that son of america dies. also close to these approaches nuclear power plants, which both sides have accused each other of shelling. but not the latest news from the dawn bus from the lines authorities in the dance republic say that the russian forces have almost encircled the keeps of we'll get dark south of the republic capital. this comes as russian forces continue to ramp up the offensive in the area

. while you're quitting forces reportedly sheldon residential areas of the net with an apartment building, taking heavy damage. in total, a towns were sold by ukraine on thursday, leaving one civilian dead according to local authorities. sees roman coast of reports in the town of yes, in of africa. ah . the city, oh yes. and the water has been under constant ukrainian shilling since 2014, and it only intensified in the last year or the last 12 months. at least 40 local residents were killed by ukrainian artillery shilling, and hundreds were wounded. vicious love was right in the next room, drink and see when a shell landed right into his house. this is what it looks like right now.

according to local officials, there were at least 3 shelves that around and right next to his house. now he was doing maint maintenance works here and he just stepped away for 10 minutes to have some t and of this happened. so he survived this strike miraculously car for her. they tried to kill more people, obviously to scare us. well, we have lived here since 2014 and don't plan to move. i even managed to join the army. now i'm in the reserves and came home to try to fix this. these types of pictures are absolutely everywhere. now, in that yes, in nevada, according to the mayor of the cities, me trisha jenko, at least 2000 private houses and multiple apartment buildings were destroyed as well. you could machine holder and pushing push logo. when settlements are liberated from ukraine. ukraine shells them to the ground. destruction in such

areas is at 90 percent or even 100 percent. if we're talking about those killed 40 people died you in the previous year and about $130.00 people were injured. i'm on them civilians, public service, and rail walkers, which is in nevada, used to be a major railway hub in eastern europe. however, right now it's not really functioning. and that means that sir, thousands of people are currently out of the job. they're hoping that piece will come very soon, so they'll be able to support their families once again from on cost for of r t. then that's crew. public lemon. you amid continued ukrainian shelling of the don bus civilians are being left homeless. we visited one of the many refugee shelters and little guns republic to him, all from people who fled the war. so lena, simple, little heard that there is a war in my town. everything is destroyed, my house is destroyed, the ceiling has collapsed. it's good that i wasn't there when it happened. i would

have been under the rubble. but it's good here the food is good. the treatment is good. fuck up willinger focus. look at the shelling has started. now i'm here with my mother. she has high blood pressure and stomach problems. now it's better. the medicine has helped, but all the same, we need to continue the treatment. not more than a little over. i was caught in the shelling. there were 3 people. one was killed and i was wounded. we were all civilians from the same village and similar to rome, didn't she pledge the dumpster? everyone reacts differently. every one has their own psyche. some survived under the bomb ski, literally all people here in a poor, psychological state. but now as we have been living with these people for 2 months, we're already like one family. very prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that the polar son issue should not interfere in the normalization of relations with other arb states. i think that the way we are going to succeed is not that the palestinian tail wags the body of the arab world. the comments came shortly after

the u. s. state texas visit through the westbank ganymede rising tensions between israelis and palestinians. israel pm says there is room for negotiations on corporation with palestinians, aside from security, massive project and the idea of full sovereignty of life. some are of states reluctant to build relations with israel, despite the losses. wish to normalize relations with more countries to the abraham accord. we spoke to journalist most of abraham who says that functioning demands should also be taken into consideration in order to come to a peaceful resolution. suppose finance or looking for peace and they want to freedom. and israel was kept for impressions and violation and attacking and in doing deval and crime stuff, things and this right. and people who want peace for, for post countries that we can see americans are getting is for more than for seniors. this is going to be straightened to the national security for this,

right. so we can see marketing sticking cared so much about israel doesn't give us much for finance to middle. it's a but a benefit issue. people say that no one do any kind of achievement or signing this agreement for post country staying in the region. israel is seeking out to double the amounted deduct from palestinian tax revenues in order to pay out for israeli victims of what it calls terror attacks. of despite last year, the israeli army killing more than $200.00 palestinians according to human rights watch, which is around 10 times more the number of israel death. almost $30000000.00 will be deducted from the palestinian administration, which makes it more difficult for its base salaries on provide welfare for families sexual thoughts. he has described this move as an acceptable and said it will aggravate the already dia, economic situation in the region. even watch what human rights watch says it's very measured against palestine, amount to collective punishment, which is

a war crime under international law. courts around the world have treated collective punishment as a war crime. however, israel supreme court has consistently rejected the claim that the israeli government practice of punitive home demolitions in occupied palestinian territory amounts to collective punishment. less cost live now to policy not to based on politician will suffer alibi gucci. to discuss this issue further, thanks for joining us most offer. now 1st of all, i just want to get your thoughts on what practical imparts this move by the israelis will have on the lives of every day. palestinians was the deduction of for palestinian money. i is nothing but an act of piracy is collecting taxes that i'm listing as i'm paying the taxes and now they deducted and use it for their own purposes. this is a violation of the existing agreements and at the same time, so piracy,

but if you combine it with what's happening and also in terms of house demolition and in terms of killing him is and in terms of settlement expansion, we are talking about. i liked the range of crimes and an effort to sustain and why didn't the system and the racial discrimination and fusion which has been on top of the military or vision in mother ministry. and so that will affect people's lives, of course, because the money that taken away that stolen from palestinians will not be used for hospitals will not be willing to pay salary. dr. messes and teachers will not, it will not be for the schools. so this is another way or another. is there any additional life? do you think this will affect the palestinian authority's ability to maintain order

in palestine given the the shortage of funds caused by the seizure of parks? of course this weekend, the police didn't handle 30. will hold for about a year and a half now is unable to pay the full being 80 percent of the salary to the employees. but that is not the main reason why you cannot keep. the main reason is that they do not have the authority on the areas, but the call backs the people the 2nd, like in the most recently. and you know, you can so basically that the systematically the deal and that's why it is so weak that it cannot be expected. neither control the situation or key will no. and do you think the international community will react through this or condemn israel in any way for this latest move?

if you mean by that wisdom community, i believe that the community, unfortunately, is the states and using standard. and that's very easy. it can be, be found if you compare policy in that case and the policy is guardian, it's a consistent policy standard. they want to deny, but the thing is, i mean, i put a list of the patient even even if the most peaceful, like going to the international court of justice to the united nations. and their policy is not think about complete biased by complete, supposed today. and finally, my stuff, i just want to get your thoughts on one last thing. to what extent do you believe that this is the results of the new israeli government? the the right wing is really good and the reason came to power. do you think that this move will be made under the previous administration now?

it was made before by the other administration. so the policy of your patient does not new. it is consistent with all the governments, but this new government is more than more than it is that fascist government. it includes trashes that includes fresh shipments like being mortgage. those guys are good employees cleansing bluntly, they're going for total and complete annexation of noise back there. calling for changing the situation in the places and they, they want to justify palestinians being via the minnesota security was before denied. the possibility of serving the army because of his demon is not the minister of security. and he called for arming the extreme set load. and he told them to punish whenever you want as much as you want. if you suspect this is the

kind of policy of this fascist government, which has done much better than any other previous student. and certainly a of a dire situation must offer about gucci, palestinian to be some politician. thank you very much for your time today. thank you. was his days should not initiates peace negotiations with moscow? well that's at least is according to former us national security advisor, john bolton. you made the comments in a phone call with the russian practice, von and lexus, who were pretending to speak on behalf of a former ukrainian president. to me, the, the important thing is to continue to push the russians militarily. i think, i think this is a winnable war and to, to stop efforts by whether it's the french or the germans or whatever it might be to try and negotiate with the russian crawl has said publicly, several times since february the 24th. we have to find a deal, it's acceptable to the russians, and that's,

that's why i worry that pollutant thinks he can break western resolve. well, the u. s. has previously sold to influence ukraine's domestic on foreign policy. recently, research 5th leap recording shows the vice president joe biden pressuring a former ukrainian president to nationalize a bank internet. it could be financial consequences if his advice wasn't followed out. he's kind of helping us the story. the investigative journalist who goes by clam das time has shaken up social media once again. this time reminding people about the leaked phone call that took place between them, vice president joe biden with them president of ukraine. poor shank back in 2016, the american vp was on the phone with cora shank out discussing aspects of ukraine financial system. biden had some very specific demands regarding certain banks i'm in or

where you need to talk to you about it. so all right, year long forward or last that's apparently sounds a bit like a threat. this is the way you would expect the sovereign leaders of 2 independent countries to speak with one another. why is it that joe biden would speak this way too, afore and head of state, and what is biden getting at when he says sophisticated enough to know the details? so many questions, and so few answers,

anyway. portion so replied that he was simply waiting for the auditors report from ernst and young to come out. and once that happened, he would assemble the head of the national bank of ukraine, government officials, and the minister of finance. they would all get together and make the ultimate decision. the only reason we both of the bar where you can and we need to watch. launching. and then biting promises. he's going to keep everything a secret. and on december 18th, 2016. everything went ahead just as planned. private bank was nationalized, justice biden had stipulated. now the main stock holder mentioned by poor a shank, go ukrainian oligarchy, ego or

a polar moist sky. he was outraged and said it had been done without proper procedure and was purely a government graph. but who actually cares? especially when the international monetary fund, which provided ukraine with $17500000000.00 in aid in 2015 back to the decision to nationalize, prove our bank. now some critics look at this and say the whole thing looks like a giant fraud with the i m f and the ukranian government, the supposedly sovereign playing along with by. and who can forget how joe biden bragged about getting a prosecutor fired in ukraine. prosecutor was investigating his sons company or is holding western media would have us believe the brain is a totally independent country and that russia is rolling in to take it over. however, leaks like this suggests that ukraine has been firmly in the pockets of certain people, not people in kia, bought on wall street and in london. and of course in washington

d. c. kayla barton artsy, new york. well, rasmussen, the register says executive vice president says that ukraine's been influenced by the us for years. well, ukraine is, is known to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. the most corrupt in europe. also we had, the ukraine is, is been for decades them, and has been a target of the us to to contain russia and, and it's goes even before 2014, it goes even before that. well, you got to remember to is at the time vice president biden was the he basically was appointed governor, i guess you could call a map or the viceroy or the basically was responsible for ukraine. and, and let's say ukraine has not really been

a sovereign country since since and, but my don qu, that occurred in 2014 and to africa now, where the prime minister of pickiness also visited molly on thursday to discuss corporation against the threat of terrorism. that the countries continue the year long battle against you, how does insurgencies and the decision comes after both nations expelled french forces frustrated by their failure to defeats the most insurgency. we could create a flexible federation that would be mutually reinforcing and respect the aspirations of both sides. our forebears tried to create groupings like the molly federation, which sadly did not last. but they showed us the way creating a new federation should be undertaken now. on sunday, thousands of demonstrators rallied and became a fossil capital to celebrate the withdrawal of french troops falling a 5 year stance in the country. processed this way, flying something done with imperialism, and down with the french policy in africa. since the deployment of french troops on

the keno soil in 2018, the country experienced a huge spike in service attacks were rising deaths all sorts according to human rights watch. a local correspondence or more about the suffering caused by the insurgency in the region. when a person came in 2 different attacks, monday, the government will faso unnoticed by the buddies of 15 pair from art by saying is of the kidnapped by till his group last week were discovered in mongo data area, 545 kilometers west and looking at fossil sadness and cough formation, the feeling of looking at me it is very sad to see an identified people attacking civilians. the situation in our country is not easy, but with the new president who took off is 5 months ago. i hope it will be fine. the malware it, hearts are high, it's an human, but all we can do is the strong. i know one day it will and,

and there will be no more terrorist in our country and in the war, we mustn't despair. we must be strong and support each other in success. it's a situation that really saddens us. it's awful that armed men can cowardly attack unarmed civilians. these men act so because they can no longer gain the upper hand over our defense and security forces. so they have no other choice but to attack the population fall on good to know for booking fossil 360 kilometers of work at google was also targeted by terrorist failed to pass on were killed, death 4 days after victories, were defeated in the plan again, the men military camp of the city. according to tell joan i listened on the list, no doubt till they have decided to increase the fear in the population don't call who. so i think that the strategy of terrorist to scare people is about

creating as many victims as possible with any means they can use. and unfortunately, it is ordinary civilians who are suffering and dying. it another way of fire, but a de invoking of fossil as of november 2022, around 1000000, 810000. i have left their home cities and villages according to you and report 60 percent of these internally displaced persons. and fortunately, keith seems of toddler in bassi virus, the by tourist. repeatedly the party, last week, 2 buses, reported picked, were passing is in the southwest volcano, in the village of saint casey. go to the borders of toggle and got however of late tell. he believed that there is no reason to lose hope about the situation of

a facile to do this very well. i don't think we should despair. this is everyone knows that we're at war against terrorism. our goal is to defeat the evil, so fall in despair. now that means we're given up on a british intelligence project, allegedly targets a palace, refugee palestinians, using unintelligence contracts of the previous. the accused have been involved in supporting all tied and syria. well that's at least is according to lead documents published by the electronic infant todd at news outlets. our approach will use a mixture of offline and online primary research and seek to distinguish between whether the palestinian issue is in that miss vibrick issue or a key inflection point on the path to radicalization. using social listening technology, the team will examine the relevance of the israel palestine conflict. these findings will be integrated, establishing a rough estimation of palestinian issues, broader salience in the context of in region radicalization. the re evaluation

claims that a party of intelligence contractors working directly out of the case consulate in jerusalem. the work, the group words for adam smith international consortium in 2017 the b b. c revealed had provided funding to al qaeda and allegation that they denied at the time, but london later upon termination of its funding, admitted some parts of the accusations may hold. weight. undercover agents were sent through several refugee camps in jordan lebanon in the west bank to interview palestinians under the pretext of academic research, allegedly, when, in fact they were there to monitor criticism of weston and israeli foreign policy. among other things. earlier we spoke to one of the journalists behind the reports, you brought the story when stanley and he told us how the intelligence contractor had to funded teresa allegedly, i mean to post serial or scandalous, really, that the british government is still using this organization essentially to combat

al qaeda when it has this proven track record of supporting al qaeda. now of course they say that it was done inadvertently, but that denials at the time were very incongruous. i think they were very in my view very unbelievable. because at 1st they still said all this is completely untrue, but then, you know, under question they said, well, you know, some of it did happen, but it was by accident. so why is the questions have to be asked? now, why is the british government still using this contract? it doesn't make any sense if their actual aim is combat outright. 20 percent of the budget was going to have to pay to essentially protection money to these al qaeda affiliated groups to, to, to, to give them the security that they didn't have themselves. so, you know, what that meant in practice was the british government money was going to fund alcorda. you know, this was only one instance of that. one example of that happening so called free

soviet police. and you know, the bbc even came with an instance whereby they showing these the so called free syrian police were involved in all kinds of support and how the courts, quote, unquote, so course courts where they're imposing their theocratic penalties on the population in the areas that they were occupying where they are beating the syrian government for a time during the war in the country. and that involved in one case, the fick starting to death of a woman. the free syrian, please, we're closing the roads in order to enable this to happen in order to find a relevant role for itself within the orbit of american imperialism. the british government and the british deep state, has defined services there performs of the empire. and, and one of the things it does is essentially subversion in this kind of way. it is

. and these kind of intelligence operations and they kind of trying to promote themselves as being uniquely able to do these things overseas. and of course, the reality is that the american empire has lots of such client states with turkish interior minister has slammed. there are some buster over what he claims is an attempt to interfere in the domestic affairs of his country, american mucous levels on. so i am addressing the american ambassador, get your dirty hands of turkey. i'm telling you very clearly and distinctly get your dirty hands of turkey. i know very clearly what you have done, what, what steps you have taken, and how you want to bring turkey down. get you dirty hands and those must smoke in faces of turkey. um, isn't it? who can, when it comes amid the u. s. congress is attempt to persuade takia on the matter of selling them. f. 16 jets, a group of bipartisan american sentences said that the sail depends on encourage

approval of sweden and finland bid for nato membership. 29 democratic and republican senators said that the 2 nordic countries were making full and good faith efforts to meet the necessary conditions. though ankara says the sweden still needs to do more. we spoke with professor of international law on relations, master, tacky, joshing, who says that if the situation is not resolved to kia, may find another country to buy, just from. net to track that we seeing and, and article also 11, feeling the open gate. all the democratic countries in this regard. also new candidates, the to can be one is to be and, and pin them to be joined to don't net a member id. if you are a member, you have to obey a regulation, and you have to obey the principle of fighting against if there is the problem between the by the united states, it's going to station is lack of confidence in number one and stick them in my idea 30 public opinion considering why even good nefco member our best feel like united

states using do our policies with an balance between degrees and alpha, cherokee. and this got to be our patient, the observing all the doubled up and, and this is crap. we can buy from and other countries if you'll be rational, if you'll be yeah us and also europe piper from the u. k. even their friends are maybe in other they can even the china, they time they, i helped us down at the beginning about $20000000000.00 the big money. i don't get enough money to buy the new committee a, grab some us media. let's all sound in the alarm over. so cold suspected chinese spy balloon. that's hovering near euclid sites. eva suspected chinese spy balloon is floating over the northern us suspected chinese spy balloon. a suspected chinese spy balloon. there is

a suspect in chinese spy balloon. that balloon is the size of 3 buses and it was spotted over montana and montana of course home to several sensitive nuclear sites . the balloon was spotted floating in the u. s. states of montana. yes, republican congresswoman green has called on biden to shoot the balloon down, as he said. so he sets of decided not to start seeing a risk of debris falling on people. china's also re artists in the boonies, in fact, a weather device on a regrets. the unintended entry into u. s. s base. the pentagon said that the balloon could gather no more in sell than chinese satellites. cro, to no idea what it is. first, our best assessment at the moment is that whatever the surveillance payload is on this balloon, it does not create significant value added over and above what china is likely able to collect through things like satellites in low earth orbit. an intriguing story there. well, that's how the world is looking at $530.00 p. m. moscow time. i'm peter scott. i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories at the top of the hour. thanks for watching.
