ever seen by mankind. ah. mm mm hm. ah, he's one person is killed and up to 4. i feel trapped under rubble. that's all the latest round of ukrainian shelling hits, residential areas that don't. yes china does. it have never intentionally violated any over in countries territory as working in accusing staging. buying on the us with a balloon that floating across america. the g 7 nations impose a new price count on russian oil to cut to month goes revenue. well, president putin stays the country, will not export fuel to state the poor thing be restrictions.

a warm welcome to you. this is dorothy international with the latest news from across the globe. it's great to have you with us. i was thoughts with the latest from don bass, where one person has been killed and another wounded off the residential areas in the russian city of don't yet. school showed by ukraine, according to local authorities, up to 4 people could be trapped under the rubble of a collapsed apartments where our rescue operation is now underway. ortiz room on closer reports from the c ukrainian nationalists to use them multiple launch a rocket systems against civilians in the center of the next, at least 11 apartment buildings that were damaged. as a result, one of them is right behind me right now. emergency, a workers are trying to dig through the rubble of audio visual one other than with i live in this building. on the 3rd floor. there are 2 apartments in the block

which still have residence. one is mine. the other one on the 5th floor was directly hit. the strike hit just an hour after i spoke to my neighbor on the phone . his car is still in the yard. i can't get through to him now. the rescue team has just found his wife's phone. last night there was an eerie silence. and now in the morning, here we are. to top floors of this building were destroyed by the ukraine and artillery shutting down. the shilling itself took place during the day when most of the people were at home and the area where the shows, i hit here and then it covers a radius alpha one kilometer. and this area is strictly civilian. absolutely no military in this area. well, it comes with washington is pledge to send a new a long range missiles to ukraine, known as ground launch small diameter bombs, which will enable keith to strike much further than current weapons. must get as

quick as i think. delivery saying that a u. s. is pushing ukraine to attack russian territory. washington sees no boundaries in seeking to inflict a strategic defeat in russia. the transfer of increasingly powerful weapons to the keep regime is a deliberate escalation of the conflict by the united states. that ministration has been almost everything on the credit cards, its own national authority, the money of american taxpayers, and the lives of ukrainian soldiers. at this rate, the note states could go to opposite madness, like given father, jess washington is defect installed in its procedures to protect russian regions. the ground launch small diameter bombs has a range of 150 kilometers, twice a distance of ukraine's current time on work. it launches also supplied by the us. the long range missiles also to be highly accurate and can be fired from hidden positions to avoid detection. washington face the new weapons will enable ukraine to attack territory, including crimea, which has been part of russia since 2014 the small diameter bomb in the latest

ukraine aid package has the potential the target crimea. is that the intent behind providing it now? so thanks for the question, joe. so, so yes, as part of the usa package, we will be providing ground launch small diameter bombs to ukraine. this gives them a longer range capability, long range virus capability that will enable them again to conduct operations in defense of their country and to take back their sovereign territory. rush in occupied areas, discuss the topic with the co director of the international action center. sarah flounders, who say the us is intent on dragging out the conflicts. us isn't ignoring the warnings they are deliberately, deliberately provoking further and further, or they know the consequences of this. and they're more than willing to push ahead

. there's an enormous number of weapons and us, you know, inventory to big lots of choices. but it's clear that each choice is meant to expand the war, to do more damage, not in any way to reach a resolution. it will also mean on, on russia's part that they will have to go further into ukraine in order to secure their borders, to russia as much as borders. so it's an expansion of the war. it's very dangerous . there's no reason for it. it's more money, but higher grade of weapons that actually have doubled the range. when it comes amid relentless attacks by caves forth is utilizing us supplied. hyman's rockets. ukrainian troops are also targeting rushes incendiary bomb launches, known as heavy flame throwers. he's a senior correspondent. i'm going to be near the front lines with some of those

russian weapons and they cruise on the battlefield. there is nothing that ukrainian troops and nationalists fear more than this a machine that has a g o s one. although barry multiple, a rocket launcher system, and perhaps the dead years weapon, currently fielded on the battlefield. and ukraine, 24 rockets, 270 kilograms, eat fargo distance, and 6 to 10 kilometers and absolutely fatal to anything within a 150 meter radius. asking only silly. our main talk is how large concentrations of phantom troops, 20 or more people, and also vehicles, anyone caught within the bus radius has particularly no chance of survival, thermo barrick, munitions or vacuum bombs on nothing like conventional munitions. it isn't shrapnel

that kills but flash burn and crushing over pressure which causes instant death. you can't hide from this behind a wall. only a hermetically shield bunker offers protection and there are none here. the 4th round, ah, her sound is always for the purposes of gregoire. it's out. eyes in the sky. draw more spot where it landed that new coordinates. and off they go again. 20 full rockets, 6 and a half tons of annihilation. i these rockets are usually fired in ones or twos as little point of full barrages. a

single rocket practice as shown, is usually overkill. almost nothing survives within a 150 meters of the impact side listed in a certain way or where all this ready. we get a job done when i fight for my family and those close to me. we're all here for our homeland. we're here to help our voice. the son say book translated a sunburn or sun far is always the top priority for ukrainian forces. it cannot stay anywhere long. it cannot far from the same place twice. here, spares no one and nothing to 5 and destroy these machines. after all, they have devastated ukraine's ranks like nothing else. or i'd gasdio archie dudley. it's gretchen. as mosque, i suppose,

his push on with our offensive on the front lines that rushes, defense ministry, se 63 of its service men have been returned from ukraine as part of a prisoner exchange. the agreement was broken with the help of the united arab emirates, the russian military. i did that all of its returned soldiers are receiving psychological and medical assistance as well. some of them told us i was one of which he wanted to go home so badly would called the support from our nearest and dearest. it's all right now we are finally home. thanks to everybody who rescued us from captivity. many thanks to those guys. they think has slammed washington for what he calls you as hysteria as a chinese weather balloon, in american as space as motions and accuses baiting of using the ag croft to spy on the country. this was a complete accident caused by a force, missouri, and effects. a very clear, china has always, strictly abided by international law,

respected the sovereign in territorial integrity of all countries, and has never intentionally violated the territory and air space of any sovereign country. some politicians and media in the united states have taken advantage of the issue to attack and discredit china. china firm that opposes this. meanwhile, this footage allegedly shows another chinese balloon at traveling somewhere over latin america, which the pentagon has also labeled a chinese surveillance device. paging has not yet commented on these reports. the 1st chinese balloon currently flying over the us east coast was spotted. it was earlier, spotty closing over the state of montana. miss unverified, so teach circulating on social media appears to show a smoke trail in the sky leading some uses to speculate that the balloon had been shot down by the u. s. military. however, defense officials have denied these reports. meanwhile, the panic. if those spreading over phased as such, balloons could actually be used as surveillance, tools,

or even weapons. but joe biden has simply refused to explain why the chinese balloon is still hovering over american land. o. o c. caleb morgan examines whether this scandal is just a load of hot air. china has confirmed that this is a chinese balloon, as a weather balloon used for media illogical research by the chinese authorities. now they have made clear that this balloon serves no military purpose. it's not being used for spying or anything of that. a fact, it's simply for monitoring the weather. this balloon is of chinese origin. it was 1st over the aleutian islands than it was in billings, montana. there's some concern about the possibility that it's near nuclear sites that it's also been confirmed by a number of experts in the united states that there is nothing that could be obtained from such

a balloon that couldn't easily be attained by china with satellites. i was satellites, they could just as easily get any information and that there is no threat to civilians posed by this below. this is not a weaponized balloon. this is not a drone or anything like that. there is no danger to civilians by this balloon. now, it is worth noting, however, the antony blanket, the u. s. secretary of state did cancel his meeting with the chinese president and i cancelled it saying that this balloon is the reason i made clear that the presence of his surveillance balloon in you as her space is a clear violation of you, a sovereignty and international law that it's an irresponsible act that the pure seas decision to take the section on these my plan visit is detrimental to the substitute discussions that we were prepared to have now the language that's being used by us officials and by us media is they're referring to it as a spy bull loan and there are reports of another balloon somewhere in latin america, possibly another balloon,

a chinese origin. and it is worth noting that beijing has apologized for this below . and they said it was not their intention to violate us aerospace this balloon went off course. however, beijing has been pretty firm to denounce the anti china town and the antique china hysteria, the wave of hostility to china. we're now hearing in american media now there is a social media bonanza going on. of course, all kinds of names and images, people, invoking star wars, the death star, all kinds of science fiction. you know, there's memories of sputnik and the panic in the united states. back in the 1950s in response to the soviet union was launching the the spacecraft. and you know, people are making all kinds of comparison. there's been the talk of american media . however, at this point, china is pointing out, this is the unintentional violation of us aerospace by a balloon that could not really threaten anyone that has no danger,

even according to us experts. they're saying that their territory of integrity was intentionally violated by nancy pelosi. she went on to china's territory and sy juan, without the permission of the us, recognize chinese government. the u. s. government recognizes one china. so china is pointing out that while they are not intentionally violating any country, territorial integrity or aerospace it appears the united states is ban on continuing to kind of haunt china with their provocations around taiwan that are definitely intentional and involve more than just balloons. and this point high ranking officials and there is also may be pointed out that us drones and other us aircraft have violated territory integrity and aerospace of. ready countries throughout history, this kind of thing has happened from the us side. however, this has not stopped american media from going into an anti china overdrive. there is all kinds of very fierce allegations and see the language being displayed on us

media and from us officials trying to a specialist and re long coast time and location with a chinese balloon was detected quite sensitive for the united states. large countries, especially united states and also china and yvonne's nations. the use a centralized, the monitor other countries and also even spy planes. the united states particularly have also spark plugs flying over on the other countries, territories, the space as space where the balloon is discovered. as a sensitive, even though the united states and ministration, you know, has a balance on the details, but generally known to montana is the side of the united states in the continental massage basis. so i think that this is very sensitive and sensitive time and presidential election coming up for president barton has got no choice but to defer

to visit. but it doesn't mean that there were 2 stars with the gang. but as i said, even did they do meet, i don't think we are seeing a har possibility. the relationship with reword to the warmer days. a couple of years ago g, 7 states have agreed to impose a new price cap on russian petroleum projects, which will take effect on sunday. and new limits will be $100.00 per barrel of refined oil and $45.00 foot crude. the president of the european commission praised the decision as a move aimed at stabilizing global energy prices. we must continue to deprive rush of the means to wage war against ukraine. he's in port bad, and russian petroleum products comes into force on sunday. with the g 7, we're putting price caps on these product, cutting washes revenue while ensuring stable global energy markets. russia is a tit for tat respond to the g. seven's crude oil priced cap imposed in december of

last year came into effect on the 1st of february, meaning that exports to countries supporting the price cap are no longer possible. russian president vladimir putin nearly as stated that russia will only trade oil with countries that adhere to the fair market rules you contribute to. chris ends discuss the phase, discusses the failures of the price cap. we've got a $100.00 price cap on what we call premium oil. oh, you know treatment or like diesel and $45.00 on on, you know, other products that that may be used. and the interesting thing about this is this price cap predominantly is been imposed by the but by the presidency, sweden. so sweden actually uses it relies on 60 percent or even more of renewable energy. they not soil dependent compared to that. they're both take european partners like yeah, and even touch like potent until the beginning of the special military operation.

but more or less totally dependent on russian oil in terms of the trading products they were in. so really the and the baltic states now said look, ok, we'll take this for now, but we want to review every 2 months on this price. and it's very, very hard to see how these countries are going to be able to depend on oil from the united states, or from the opec, plus countries like saudi arabia that have said, look, we cannot, we will refuse to pass the, we won't give you any more than we are using right now, which leads them in a very sticky spots, looking at where russian, russian, oil, and gas exports are going these days. ever since the start of the special ministry operation, even before then, russia has already started trading with that there are the partners they want. so the dependent on the west, china is by more russian oil and gas than ever before. the chinese economy can eat up as much as possible. if you look at india, for example, we've got a lot of western states saying that buying indian oil, but we're pretty aware that indian oil coming in, originated in russia,

where the majority of it. so it's very hard to see how this affects the russian economy whatsoever, and only really hurts the part of me. those. those are, those are those western countries that are saying they're buying it. a teenage boy has been killed and hundreds of voting materials destroyed in the latest attacks on an electoral commission office. and the police station, and se, in my jerry a becomes 2 weeks before locals head to the post because their votes in presidential elections. the national electoral commission has voice concerns and violence could impact the voting. and he's 50 attacks against his staff and officers by armed groups have been reported over the last 3 years. the majority of the incidents in the southeast and parts of the country where the separatist sentiments remain strong. instability remains a key issue for nigeria. northern province is what security for the fighting a 13 year war against the hardest and criminal malicious ortiz,

nigeria correspondent, takes a closer look at what awaits the country in the upcoming elections. on february 25th 2023. my jillions will head for the polls for like a new precedent, outgoing precedence. mohammad will have a rule for its years, however, the increased abductions in killings in the north, in addition to separate his pensions in south eastern part of the country, of great concerns with the citizens and post a good place to the elections. i will not advise you to watch a place where be, you know, skewed the body, the closer. before you come out, we'll keep many people. the government has, however, insisted that despite the growing insecurity, the elections will not be postponed nor cancelled as insensitive and extensive security will be provided all through the election process and shredding the safety and security to vote. does by enormous this responsibility has become more

challenging in the context of the current security situation. are you kind of showing without any, any or want that one don't really little? we don't, we decided to be a presidential candidate contested. we are all aware of the security issues on a promising to resolve it before any of the a few candidates come to class when he has to have the highest number of votes nationwide and more than a quarter of ballot costs in at least 2 3rd of the my jewish states, my jury has over my to 1000000, but you said voted on almost for the purposes of these number a youth in the age of 18 to set a full for countries with missing. i renewed youth engagement in politics like never before. i made security issues, nigeria, africa, the largest crewed all produce the face is a worsening shortage of petroleum products like q hours perpetual, with the new national currency swap only are going through the turbulence. my teary

and oil and gas consultant jo, new, our crew told us that the best way to overcome the petroleum situation is to deregulate the sector and make way for private investments. to be the challenge has been the limited infrastructure that will allow it to be brought into the trance. i did there was i'm from then to the patient so that and there has been an ongoing conversation for years. but this guy is not there does it didn't go for the list that we've, we've listed for a long time and the outer has been that we need to do it lead to settle to allow private sector investment really. and that's as what b, p a, the new law of the land requires that we do, that the government has been a bit slow and implementing the improvement of hundreds of people have

taken to the streets of the pakistani city of pasha in a peaceful protest on friday, advocating unity and the fight against terrorism. oh, the protests follows a terrorist attack on a most on monday that killed at least a 100 people and injured over $200.00. a pakistani taliban commander initially claimed responsibility for the attack, but the organization late had denied involvement. the event spots demonstrations with slogans against terrorism. as advocates in peace, well, some of the protest is what they're hoping to achieve. okay, the one that we are demanding peace from our current government and state. why are only passions being massacred whenever there is protest, we ask the question, why passions or bomb i'm a little bit but gets my concern is peace. i did not allow my children to go to

school today because of the fear that it is friday and there would be an attack again for a homestead horse of it's work. the only reason we came out is because we're one piece on our land. hebert, bottom qua, and petula will against terrorism, and whoever is behind it, it is unacceptable for us to scott. so look, got it. after the door, big areas of bought off america enough. ronnie's bon 25000000 people in the cost. they bought it in a run, his bomb and pakistan had been the most affected by this war. this protest in pre chava today, they are demanding peace because there was a beast for many years in the policy of, again, in few weeks, donald is attacks, had been spotted. the dos deadly was in the police headquarters. we have 100 police for when this office is one and 201 in doug city asleep. and there are many public officials in the intensive care units of different hospitals. these protesters prompt for sean and lead surrounding localities. they are gather there will show

the solidarity with police officers and they are demanding that device and there'd be wanting before storm must be given these. why the push so not being bumped? why the push the without being divorce affected paper. the leader with have been many years in prison, but now is leading again and i think is what you might do is focus. and so we've read gaps and white flags. they have just one to mark piece in the region. i mean, like on our tv august 1. so the latest news out, thanks. you can visit our website dot com. we'll be back the top of the out with

with ah, museums are important for preserving our history so that it is lost to future generations. but our fiscal museums places themselves a relic of the past. this is one of the best museums in the world of human touch and st. petersburg. how prophy is the director here and i bet he has met ah

i'm african retents. he and welcome back to going underground ragas single round the world from dubai. in the united arab emirates, african nations faced mounting pressure from nato nations to support that war on russia through ukraine, especially since vladimir putin's foreign minister sag elaborate, groundbreaking tour of african nations, culminating in joint military drills between the armies of russia in south africa. with me today is the professor at a k, at about joe, former director of the institute for pan african thornton. conversation at the university of john has worked. he served on you and missions in south africa. he's also the author of the new book, boutros boutros golly, apropos prophet proselytize, a pharaoh and pope, one of the very few written works in the u ends. first african arab 60 general, whose contributions he says had been raised by nature. nation scholars professor at a budget, joins me now from johannesburg in south africa. thank you so much professor for joining us before we get to the book. i must ask, man, i should say a book about

a un secretary general that wasn't assassinated. unlike dag hamish old famously, your view of oliver robs visit to africa. i mean, in a donation media, i don't, i knew you were in nigeria at the time during the visit, but i mean all but condemning as african counterpart melody, pandora. oh, for join russia. south africa perhaps shine a military drill. zach i was as a class divide in all the sorts of things elite in south africa, looking down at the a government in south africa for doing anything with russia and a different story for the masses. well, thank you very much and i have to say, i'm sorry, even though i'm based in johannesburg, i think the last visit and the whole ukraine issue has divided opinion in south africa. generally. i think it's also important to note that among the ruling african national congress leads,

many of them was educated and received military training in the soviet union at the time. and a lot of sympathy for russia generally and the way at the time. but typically the us brits on the reagan gotcha was supporting the regime against which the n c was fighting. so those dynamics are quite important to understand in south africa position. and i think, i don't think it's clear as a lead that math divides because among many of the black l. e i talk to they may not necessarily support the russian aggression against ukraine box. they tend to be very critical of what they see as what them hypocrisy actions lightly.

us them spacious and iraq, which was done without us. all right, nation. so they said divide. it's not so straightforward. russia was, doesn't says it wasn't even in an aggression compares it to, i don't know, was tanza near going into you gander in 978 and aggression. you don't also believe that nato mainstream media is running the story nonstop. russia is starving africa . i know lover of coven nato countries to allow fertilizer to be given to africa from russia. i know it's not perhaps being starved, a weapons leaking out, perhaps from the grain conflict into islam. this group says, from previous was, is russia solving africa.
