stronger and stronger. all the things in the house were falling. we could not get ourselves together. we didn't know what to do and i'm unable to leave. people fled from their homes and we decided to come to this comment. this is there more area and there are no tall buildings there. we went out to the street to see old people standing there. there were in a disastrous condition. hi, leanna le actor mr. or more than 750 people in the convent? we're providing all we can for these families. we give them breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as providing heating and bathrooms. and the most important thing for them, which is safety ration military personnel in syria are engaged in the clean up effort over $300.00 russian soldiers as well as 16 it's of military and other special equipment are assisting and rescue operations and clearing the degrees. that's according to the russian defense minister. soldiers are providing local syrians with humana, terry, and aid. the russian military has set up assistance centers in the city of diploma

latasha and other areas. turkish president, air to wand has described one of the earth quakes as the worst in almost a century. what else do we know about this devastating series of natural disasters? check out our website, r t dot com for more details and the latest updates the head of the non ask republic says that russian forces have gained a strategic advantage in northern and eastern parts of the embattled syria art mosque also known as back moot. that's as russian troops have been advancing on ukrainian positions across the front line. as are cheese morale, gosti of reports, kiev admit backwater is on the brink. rushes, wagner group has launched him assault from 3 directions, north, east, and south, which limited our arthur will get out of this house called barton. i see it's all burning. rebellion got out in small groups. our command is don campbell, us,

i'm telling it to you. like it's a school last more people to say to that for injured in half an hour. these are all who are left. it's hell there. north. simply how i'm telling you much stood of the battle for bachman has been utterly savage. it has claimed thousands, if not tens of thousands of ukrainian troops killed and injured. rare slips from ukrainian journalists and troops paint a terrible picture yellow. i spent people who transport the dead and wounded at of backward, and they told me that according to their estimates and unprepared ukraine in fight to survive in backward for only 4 hours on the front line. yes. that's a very negative statistic. i think they survive longer in zappa rogia than yet can le ganske russian forces are pushing forward slowly, but surely. these

is the 2 s for 2 lip. a 240 millimeter mortar used to level fortifications, a garage rewards with blue particles, with the fall i may be huge. they certainly are, but they function much like their smaller cousins. and those are reg, regular, more dog cell mud is launched out of the tube flies in an arc and lands on target with the ammunition that they're using now. are those mines are

rocket assisted, meaning that they can cover much greater distances. ah, it is somewhat rare. see through a v, i think 2 of these guns falling together. one is usually good enough because it's a little finishing us, toyota. nothing remains of the enemy's positions of the shot. this system fire strictly up major targets and leave nothing standing. the 2 lip east, just one of the weapons that ukrainian troops and nationalists are running from in bachman and elsewhere. and every day, more weapons and vehicles arrive, rushes military, industrial complex is in overdrive and key. f understands time. he's not on its

side more. i guess v of t look on squeezen as russian troops advance on ukrainian army positions in don bath, there are is reli media reports that ukraine has issued a list of demands to the middle eastern country. and then the conflict that's as israel's foreign minister is scheduled to visit key f. this raley foreign minister l. a coined wise to key of to reopen the countries embassy in ukraine. but there is much more to that israeli media and report quote him to a name senior officials, one ukrainian, and one israeli. that out of the, this is key of has issues at least of the month. the way israel will respond to it will affect the 2 countries relations. so what does key of want? according to reports, public denunciation of russia's special military operation, ukraine, half a $1000000000.00 alone. medical treatment of ukrainian soldiers in israel and

missile technology development, public support for zalinski piece plan, which includes complete withdrawal of the russian forces from all territory the key of consider ukraine. so what the minister's answer will be hard to predict for now, israel has always been cautious in its approach for the war, not to spoil relations with russia. it has largely supported cave with humanitarian aid and efforts, but refused to send weapons and was condemned by ukraine for that. i don't know what happened to israel. i'm honestly in shock because i don't understand why they couldn't give us air defenses. i'm stating the facts. my conversations with israeli leadership have done nothing to help you crane. it was very honest and frank conversation. i tried to convince lippitt that i think it's a strategic mistake. and i believe that it would be in the best strategic interests of israel to cooperate fully with ukraine. politicians in israel will be ashamed in the future because they didn't stand by our side at this time. since december, eyes were on the countries, new government and 10,

some of it started talking about the drastic shifting israeli policy. that's also the country's new foreign minister alley coin. had a phone conversation with russia stomped, implements that a gay la grove before his ukrainian counterpart. that but especially coin statement that he made in his inaugural speech with regard to the russia ukraine issue. we will do one thing for certain in public. we will talk less. we will prepare a detail reference from the ministry of foreign says to the cabinet. so they can formulate a responsible policy. in any case, the significant humanitarian aid to ukraine will continue immediately. a strong disapproval came from key of not surprisingly, but also from israel's clothes. ally washington. i'm glad to see mister colon. israel's new foreign minister is prioritizing the us israel strategic relationship and supports continued him in the terry and aid to ukraine. however, the idea that israel should speak less about russia, screaming old invasion of ukraine, is a bit unnerving. it's really a rock and a hard place for months now with care is alleged ultimate or israel seems to be

left without room for maneuvers and definitely the countries for ministers with 2 kids will be at tasks not only for israel ukraine relations, but also for the ties with both russia and the u. s. what the outcome will be. well, report say the court is meeting with the president lensky is not confirmed. what will happen if kids is tied with israel's response? even if promises are made behind closed doors, this is how we will know where does a israel's tend. molly's foreign minister has greeted his russian counterpart, sir gala rob upon arrival in the country. i was russia, top diplomat is on a tour of africa in the middle east lab. rob is also scheduled to meet with molly's in term president and conduct further talk with the west african country, top diplomat. the focus is expected to be on expanding bilateral ties in various fields, including economic and military issues, as well as the coming deliveries of russian,

we fertilizers and petroleum products to molly. meanwhile, french officials had condemned the malia and government's decision to expel the un mission human rights. chief molly, which dismissed the envoy on allegations that the un mission was biased against the country, has expressed its own denunciation of the french message. the actions of mister and ali consisted in selecting usurper, assuming the title of representative of the company, melee, and civil society, ignoring national authorities and institutions. the government emphasizes that mister and all, he has never succeeded improving the objective criteria which enabled him to identify the representatives of civil society that he used marley's, interim government hes accused the head of the un peacekeeping mission in that country. who is the head of the human rights division of musical? as for us, on an android and even 48 hours to leave the country, the foreign ministry declared to william and dolly,

who is the head of renew smith's human rights division as persona non grata in a segment, molly's foreign ministry accused mister and other of these stabilizing and having subversive actions against the authorities. but there is history between the you and the human rights. she and the marine government of the united nations security council, a 1000000 civilian or choose the government and groups associated with it of a widespread allegations of human rights abuses and by associated groups here. this was a thinly veiled reverence, of course, to the wagner group, which has been operating as part of the 1000000 government security voices. it must be said that the presence of russian military partners alongside the 1000000 and forces and of course their valor is commendable. however, their presence does not make things easier in any way. these actors are involved

in serious violations of human rights and national miniature in law. these violations have been documented by molly and civil society organizations and have been reflected in official reports, including those of the secretary general and minima, as well as other independent incredible organizations. on this testimony, the un eggs was agreed that there should be an independent investigation. molly, of course, was not pleased and it's response accused nathan dally and the witness of having no proof of such claims that they are making and that they couldn't find any of that. the government went on to further point out that there's been a decreasing mud decrease in human rights abuses. and that molly stands ready for elections next year. having of course, come into a military coup that's currently ruling the country there from 2021. 1 can only wonder how much of this really has to do with the russian factor, and it's become

a pattern of choice for the traditional maryan government. and this was the word there was echoed by the foreign minister of molly, seeing that russia and no blame year, and that they remain committed to the partnership cooperation between molly and russia is a state to state effort. molly will not continue to justify that choice of partners . these choices have been made in a unique context. and the distinguished representative of the russian federation has just indicated to you that this cooperation in terms of training and equipment is being carried out with full respect for international norms. in this regard. we hope that that will be duly noted so that our country is able to carry on guaranteeing its security. molly, of course is looking to assert. busy itself in that country as not only a government by the government in control and able to make its own decision as to whom it ones to associate. and yesterday,

the transitional government said that they were anticipating the russian foreign ministers visit to my lee this week. and that with that visit they hope to bolster the defense and poor operations that they have. with that, it still remains to be seen whether miss van dally will actually heed the call to her that has been requested of him to leave the country for if he will actually just the, i don't know, the longer making the pensions even more such, we will see of the 48 hours expire, but this is just one of the many lists of patients that have been experience between the international body, as well as the african country. the e. u is persisting on its road to renewable energy as brussels has now named africa as a key partner in these efforts, however, the vice president of the commission has admitted that they have an especially

vested interest in africa's resources. africa is probably going to be the most important partner for europe in terms of developing the renewable energy sector. the european union will need more green hydrogen than we can produce ourselves. so we're looking for countries where green hydrogen can be produced. statement from brussels comes as africa suffers a few crisis of its own. even one of the continents most prosperous nations, south africa, has been phasing coal shortages and energy insecurity, including rolling electricity outages for much of last year. meanwhile, the e. u has been searching for a stable energy supplier. so this academic ties with russia were suffered last year after a series of unfruitful talks with countries in the middle east, b, u is now lying africa for alternative. western nations have been pushing africa towards green energy for months. now the u. n. she said that the world must end its

dependency on fossil fuels, while saying africa, renewable resources remain mostly untapped. we heard from a geopolitical analyst who says, african leaders should not accept any deal with you without considering the needs of their own people. first. though lovely, does that to live deals as individual is with the you states or the you member states that will influence them into making decision, not necessarily on behalf of their population. but the political parties that elected those leaders should be the one to have policies that will influence that the energy problems need to be revolt within african states. so, but if the e u leadership is influencing the policies of africa, it's going to be a very long road for african countries to deal with their own energy problems. so it should be the political parties that have influenced their leaders that are in

power to make sure that they are in line with that. and then she plans for their own countries. that one come from you. elsewhere in africa, the red cross in kenya has condemned the killing of for humanitarian volunteers, allegedly by militant groups in neighboring south sudan, canada authorities have called on police preserves to join the fight and terrorism . kenya's campaign is aimed against the al shabani terrorist group, which has been wreaking havoc on the country and its neighbors. for more than a decade, kenya is preparing to adopt neighboring somali as approach where civilians are expected to aid in fighting against the militant. this comes as the leaders of kenya should movie ethiopia and somalia have agreed to make a final stand against the group. we heard from a political analyst who says that a joint effort is the only way to completely defeat the extremist particular. we

have seen an increased activity or sort of a task associated with us or back across across the border. we can, she has read the mileage this case. it is already someone data and also some part of it is the recent announcement by the leaders sort of piece up from a policy that started so my layer under, under the regime of seeking homage. it is also part of the realization that not only was the dental somalia, but also there's a good sense for the region and the ship to be completely treated. we do require that coming together of this regional state. if i can, the group, which was the pastor or these countries that are and that's all for now, be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back
