destabilizing and subversive actions of mister and dolly, in flagrant violation of the principles and obligations that must be observed by united nations officials, and any diplomat accredited to molly. the government emphasizes that mister and dolly 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 you and he's keeping mission in that country. who is the head of the human rights division of musical as for solon and grass, and gave him 48 hours to leave the country. the foreign ministry declared william and dally who is the head of me, newsome as human rights division as his own. and andretta in a statement, 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 chief and the 1000000 government and the united nations security council. a 1000000 civilian a 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 money and government security voices. it must be said that the presence of russian military partners alongside demarion 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 ins, national miniature in law. these violations have been documented by malia and civil society organizations and have been reflected in official reports, including those of the in secretary general and minima,

as well an independent incredible organizations. on this testimony, the un expert agreed that there should be an independent investigation. molly, of course, was not pleased and in its response, acuteness, and alley, and the witness of having no proof of such claims that they're making and that they couldn't find any of that. the government went on to further point out that there's been a decreasing mug decrease in human rights abuses. and then molly stands ready for elections next year. being 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 1000000 government. and this was the words there was echoed by the foreign minister of molly, seeing that russia stands 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, whether 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 corporations that they have with that it still remains to be seen

whether miss and we will actually he, the cause 2 events has been requested of him to leave the country. or if he will actually, just, i don't know, ling the longer making the tensions, even more such we will see as the 48 hours expire. but this is just one of the many a list of patients that have been experienced between the international body as well as the african country. the head of the non, as republic says russian forces have gained a strategic advantage in northern and eastern parts of the embattled city of art. you mosque, also known as back move. that's as russian troops have been advancing on ukrainian positions across the front line. as ortiz, mariah garcia reports, kiev admits, back mortar is on the brink, rushes, wagner group has launched an assault from 3 directions, north, east, and south,

who actually myself, our other. we're good out of this. how cold bottom has it? it's all burn in. it would barely got out in small groups. our command is don campbell, and i'm telling it to you like a tasteful loss, more people to say to dad 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. jada llewellyn, i spent people who transport the dead and wounded out of back much, and they told me that according to their estimates and unprepared ukraine and 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 insipid rogia than yet. can le ganske russian forces are pushing forward slowly,

but surely. lease 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 read regular more

does sell. mine 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 who a v t 2 of these guns falling together. one is usually good enough. it's a little finishing us to your nothing remains of the enemy's positions of the shot . this system fires strictly at major targets and leaf. nothing standing. the tulip is just one of the weapons that ukrainian troops and nationalists are running from

in bombs and elsewhere. and every day, more weapons and vehicles arrive, rushes military, industrial complex is in overdrive and key. f understands. time is not in its side more i'd gas div i t look on squeezen as russian troops said, man's on ukrainian army positions in don bass. there are as 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 r t 's. maria phenomena has the details. 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 report quoting to a name senior officials, one ukrainian, and one israeli. that ahead 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 to missile technology development, public support for zalinski piece plan, which includes complete withdrawal of the russian forces from all territory the key of considers ukraine. so what the minister's answer will be hard to predict for now, israel has always been cautious in its approach to the war, not to support relations with russia. it has largely supported cave with humanitarian aid and efforts to refuse to send weapons and was condemned by your brain 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 lafitte 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 some of it started talking about the drastic shifting israeli policy. that's after the country's new foreign minister alley coin had a phone conversation with russia stopped, implements that a gay law before his ukrainian counterpart that but especially when 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 kids alleged ultimately with these roles seems to be left without room for maneuvers. and definitely the countries for ministers visit to kids will be at tasks not only for israel ukraine relations, but also for you guys with both russia and the us. what the outcome will be? well report say the court is meeting with the current president zaleski is not confirmed, but will happen if kid is that is fine with israel's response. even if promises are made behind closed doors. this is how we will know where does israel's tend b e. u is 1st thing on its road, renewable energy, as brussel has now named africa as a key partner in these efforts, however, the vice president of the e. u commission has admitted that they have an especially vested interest in africa . 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. as damon from russell com, this africa suffers a fuel crisis of its own. even one of the continents most prosperous nations, south africa, has been facing 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 since is economic ties with russia were severed. last year, after a series of unfruitful talks with countries in the middle east, the u is now lying africa for alternative. western nations have been pushing africa toward the green energy for months. the un chief said that the world must end in dependency on fossil fuels while saying that africa is renewable resources remain mostly untapped. we heard from

a geopolitical analyst who says the african leaders should not accept any deal with the e u. without considering the needs of their own people. they will lead us to lead deals as individual deals with the you states or the member states that will influence them into making division. 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 the energy problems need to be revolve within african states. so, but if the new 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 problem. so it should be the political produce that have influenced the leaders that are in power to make sure that they are in line with the energy 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 and neighboring south sudan canyon authorities have called on police reserves to join the fight against terrorism. kenya's campaign is aimed against the all ship bob 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 and fighting against the militants. this comes as leaders of kenya, sure booty, 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 and particular, we've 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 gets, 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 here under, under the regime of $600.00. it is also part of the realization that not only was federal somalia but also put in a good sense for the region and then we'll ship to be completely treated. we do therefore require that coming together of this regional state. if i can, the group, which was the passenger or these countries that are that's all for now. we sure to check out our t v dot com for all of the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour.
