ah, ah, just the fact that our western colleagues are so persistently chasing around the world demanding the condemnation of russia speaks volumes. if they use the same energy to make ukraine abide by the minsk agreements, we wouldn't need a special operation. yeah, rogers or 4 minutes or so love for off a mocking the west over diplomatic games in africa as if it's sudan on the last stop of his regional tool. disturbing video appearing on line report, showing the ukranian soldier executing a captured russian p o w. and yet another instance of alleged war crimes committed by keith. also ahead. right now we are just outside the small

town that it is outside of the city of the net. it is a major ukrainians role. r t observes a russian, a special forces operating close to a key ukrainian stronghold in the don't ask republic as the russian army random stuff. it's offensive with things i'm russia says it's no surprise about us involvement in the north stream. sabotaged as washington had previously been open about his intentions to take out that key pipeline with good to have your company for that. that was program on our t international. some big stories we need to pay special attention to today. so kayla roth has slammed the west over its insistence that africa condemns russia. the foreign minister said they could have used that very same energy to prevent the conflict in ukraine. he made his comments on his last stop in sudan as the diplomat

wraps up a tour of the continent. ah, the fact that our western colleagues are so persistently chasing around the world demanding the condemnation of russia speaks volumes. firstly, if they try this hard, it means they feel they are wrong if they use the same energy to make ukraine abide by the minsk agreements, we wouldn't need a special operation. and we know that ukraine was not going to accept the minsk agreement. but on the contrary, we're preparing for a hybrid war, everything to eliminate a political competitor for the immense agreements were supposed to be the corner stone of the peace process between the danbury republics and key f. and they were broken by russia, germany and france 8 years ago. and it was all seemingly done in good faith. however, in recent months, western leaders revealed the real purpose of the minsk accords was simply to give ukraine more time to rearm its military. something that was already admitted by ukraine's previous president petra bought a shanker. so here again,

the russian foreign minister left off our friends in africa, asia, and latin america understand very well that all these actions are geopolitical games from us and their allies, to keep a hedge morning in the world. the fact that they go around the world trying to convince, developing countries to condemn russia, means that they do not believe in democracy. cartoon, the last days of russia, foreign minister, sergey loves, to of africa. his visit to so does capital city, coincides with the trips by envoys from 5 western countries. the us, britain, france, no way and germany decided listed on as at the center of all this attention. both russian sudan consistently come out in the you and in support of initiatives aimed at ensuring a democratic world order based on the principles of multi polarity which are enshrined in the un charter. in addition to political dialogue. in addition to foreign economic coordination, there are many tasks in the field of trade, economic investment, and humanitarian cooperation. we came out and support the efforts being made by the

sudanese leadership to stabilize the internal political situation. sir, gala ralph came to cartoon to disgust by let's relations as well as regional issues on the african continent. and the middle east particular attention was paid to the preparation of a 2nd, russia africa summit to take less in july saint petersburg during his tour across africa. the russian foreign minister expressed that moscow was ready and willing to send help to west african states facing an extremist insurgency. russia's offer to african nations comes at a time when the situation in ghana is deteriorating. although the country itself is not involved in any direct conflict, it suffers from an economic crisis as refugees pouring from neighboring countries, including burkina faso. so go and benita, who are hartley battling jihadist group, we spoke to independent journalist, a comedy clerk. say, who says that garner should cooperate with neighboring countries to handle the border crisis. even the borders are poor off and do not have the

necessary security money in the board as then it becomes an issue over the period of time. there's with discussions on how some sort of help will be given to you they mcgriff. so is that the legal monday it to monday, please do we even have the cup of the country to be able to deal with this. i mean, in terms of military equipment, in terms of bonds in terms of, i mean the human resource should be able to do this. and we know that these are the dos for ross from the other side. and then they enter into the country. a lot of them are people who are being sought after they just come in the pool in the country. the laser only good us will be the more committed a crime across the border and they use unapproved moods and then it come into the country, then it becomes a problem even trying to treat them and all that in fighting crime,

especially cause more to cry. and needs to be on what, not just on the part of the guardians, but also the neighboring countries as well. are shifting out to the conflict in ukraine, where shocking footage has emerged on line, reportedly recorded by ukrainian soldiers. it shows them executing a captured russian prisoner of war. a warning this is disturbing. utilize the rap with you regarding the ga, ga and these are well, that's on verified video, ukrainian soldier allegedly shooting a russian man in the head multiple times. now we've glowed out some of the images here, but the victims wearing a white patch typically worn by russian soldiers. this comes often numerous other accusations of ukrainian soldiers killing russian p o w. even the united nations is

documented several of these cases and is even cold for investigations as well. meanwhile, our local officials say a barrage of ukrainian artillery shelling has been hitting that on its republic on wednesday, killing at least 2 civilians, wounding for others, including children. authorities say ukrainian ford has fired more than a 100 shells of civilian areas in the region. a number of apartment buildings and shopping center were damaged, while the large, blaze routed right there in the center of that capital where russia, the ministry of defense, is now reporting that around 75 ukrainian soldiers were killed near the city of ogle, daughter within the last 24 hours, several ukrainian army vehicles were also destroyed as russian forces are conducting an offensive in that area. on the front lines is all corresponding, eager to dine off this time imbedded with russian special forces. right now we are just outside the small town of that it is outside of the city of the next.

it is a major ukrainian stronghold. and right now we are following in the footsteps of a russian special forces unit. and basically what they're doing, they're going to be launching a heavy and c. thank message, but they won't be targeting any machinery nor tanks. rather, they will be working on hitting command centers in side o'clock. again, the major ukrainian stronghold which almost fell just a couple of weeks ago. he has come on the managed to real reinforcement, and right now the army has a hard time, has a hard time getting a hold of it. but i'm being told that it's just a matter of time until this small but difficult stronghold falls

ah, with ah, this spot to watch is the projectile being carefully guided towards its target. and when it connects doesn't hold back emotions a priority. just no problem watching a korean armies operate at a collision cause here keep forces positions have been reduce too small batch of apartment block buildings on a hill top. it's a dominating height,

yet the ukrainians are trying to expand their zone of control. the russians on the other hands for no effort throwing plenty of their resources into the battle. this infantry tanks, every kind of artillery piece. as combat helicopters, brain fire from above. fueling as it gets little below the enemy is detected and destroyed every day by the forces of our intelligence. and artillery is the same everywhere. attempts by the ukrainian army to counter attack were repulsed up to a company of soldiers and heavy equipment were destroyed. so special anton tank units don't suffer from a shortage of targets. and as natives, leopards challenges and abrams tanks bound for ukraine get a fresh coat of paint. they wait, wait patiently for the hitler's to get even longer. i'm a gosh done of reposing from the dumbass. odd. see now the

numbers are being updated as we understand over 19000 people who lost their lives and the devastating earthquakes that of rock turkey and syria in recent days. city of antonia and took years of southern provinces, one of the most affected areas. a local journalist is mile kaya has more and how the residence there trying to cope. it's shawna. how do you manage is not like we're now in the city center of antibiotics in turkey is southern most province of ha, tie justice india, because you can see behind me some of the devastation caused by the earthquakes. one of the got to work is going very slowly thump, due to lack of necessary equipment. 11 of the ordinary local residents are also helping out. those may appear. few earthquakes have destroyed this area, able to 3356 people have died in this province. car, 2749. buildings have collapsed. a large number of working brigades were sent to many regents. a lot of the equipment was sent from the government as well as and g

o z and rescue organizations. but of course, in some places, the equipment and assistance are not enough. near the turkish president recept tie a paragon has visited, had tie and conduct to the survey of the area. he said the work would be carried out throughout the disaster zone. now services are distributing close to local residents. they're handing out turkish military clothing and providing injured people would necessities. local residents are waiting outside their collapsed home suited. many houses have been completely destroyed. in some places, the wreckage cannot be easily excavated, as special equipment is needed and people remain trapped under the rubble. though the scenes of devastation around the f a sent her to swell, simply shocking. the former high rise apartment blocks reduced to rubble. signs of those still trapped, getting more difficult to detect. nevertheless, of course, the search for survivors goes on. as people gather on the streets to collect

humanitarian aid assistance has come from a host of international rescue. teams, including from russia, effect of moscow has provided fire fighting aircraft to help extinguishing the flames that erupted off the buildings. collapse of the following footage. here from a russian b e 200 on phoebe us aircraft near a turkish port city on the mediterranean coast, or the natural this alpha has really heard took, he has transport infrastructure in this southern region. so, and phoebe attack rav able to log on water are a good option for tackling the issues that for the meantime, over now, to our correspondent peter scott, he's been speaking to local residents in another exit city. now what you can see behind me is a residential building that was once 8 stories high and is now been reduced to rubble. as you can see here, there are people that once lived in our building and then are waiting for news of their relatives who in many cases are still stock under the rubble. i want to wait here because my son, his wife and guests,

and 6 of my relatives were in the building when the earthquakes tra, yeah, my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. i haven't received any word from the family, and asia isn't alone. as of wednesday evening, the death toll india bucket stood at 144 people with almost 1000 wounded. as the sun begins to fade 3 days after the earthquakes. so does hope the survivors will be rescued from the rubble. that doesn't stop relatives anxiously gathering around destroyed homes desperate for any news of their loved ones. i can't say that i've completely lost hope, but it's been 3 days now and has gained difficult to remain optimistic that my oldest sister and had 2 children will be found a life. i would like to send all my blessings to those people who lost their lives in this disaster. i would also like to wish that those who were injured will get well soon. understandably, with progress slow going frustration mounts with each passing hour. many of the

people i spoke to india back here were angry that more support from the government or the international community hadn't yet reached the city. 3 days after the quakes, white island, we want more support for the rescue teams. we can't go back home because it's not safe, and there is no peace for us there. some waiting here for news about my 6 cousins. in other parts of the back here. you can almost be forgiven for thinking that life goes on as normal. the city may have got off relatively lightly, but thus have little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who are trapped on those who are forced asleep on the street will seek shelter elsewhere. while government engineers go through the daunting process of showing the thousands of homes here are safe to live in once again. peter scott, the kid, turkey artsy, so teams from all around the world have arrived in turkey a to assist with john rescue operations. and we've heard from to be a dimly a volunteer with rescues without borders who called on the international community

to join together and do more to help those affected. in the 2nd they heard the news say, disaster happened. i just left everything behind and they came on the way the useful . ready a rescue with the border to come and go into and help us this week to the turkish people as a tougher and 7 point day in the air. squeaking is not something that you can prepare a 100 percent. the question of coordination between a lot of people, different language and different culture. very, very complicated. but. ready in the end of the day when you come to save your life, dental to see, to work together and talk and to connect and everything. everybody you very, very helpful and try to work together and helpful want each other. now the primary earthquake in the region was recorded at magnitude 7.8 us basically the strongest

quake in the region in about 100 years. and while turkey and syria had been most effective, the tremors are felt as far away as egypt and even the central asian nation of catholics done. now, just to the south in syria, the earthquake left more than a 1000 bed and $300.00 buildings collapsed on an open city of left close to the turkish border is one of the areas most effective residents were forced to flee their homes and stay at shelters. meanwhile, western sanctions, particularly from america, have actually been blocking vital a from getting into syria even after the disaster. you can see right there, for example, major airliners are avoiding syrian territory. while in the wake of all of this, china was demanding that america removed its sanctions from syria. invasion, says the u. s. embargo is disrupting a supplies and only making the humanitarian crisis even was the us has long been engaged in the syrian crisis is fraudulent motor strikes and hush. economic

sanctions have caused huge civilian casualties and taken away serious means for subsistence in the wake of the catastrophe. did you, i should put aside your boots, go obsessions, and immediately live the unilateral sanctions and syria to unlock the doors for humanitarian aids to see rare. well, the grays own news hose to aaron made earlier to twitter condemning washington and sanctions against syria. he posted a screenshot of new york times article, claiming it exposes the effect of us restrictions that is hampering the aid in the country. asked about the new york times, changed its story and now it reads that it's the syrian governments tight control that is at fault. wiley, i spoke with the founder of seriana analysis, could work out magazine, and he says, media outlets are focused on shifting the blame instead of calling for help to be effected. reach actually at the mouth space of the cia and the deep states in the united states are very busy. now with this, trying to blame the victim for being

a victim. and they are trying to say that it's, the servants will deserve the sanctions because of, for resisting for 20 years to schedule change. we're again sarah, so we have impose these sanctions in order to turn their lives into hell. diff oldest talk about that the syrian government, for example, as weaponized, the 8th, when the syrian government isn't to receiving aid from the pris place, is utterly ridiculous. in my opinion, the dead united states has passed a few journalists and few em. let's a influencers in disregard in order to spread the narrative that the we, we want to give sylvia aid, but the syrian government is weapon, ising. it and we don't, they don't want to get any sort of faith on one hampton nice. it says that the humanitarian assistant isn't sanctioned, but on the other hand, they a boot. they are like a bulldog coming after every company, whether it's private or a governmental, a, whether it's in the airplane, whether it's a company, whether it's just for medical supply for serbia. and if they receive any funds from

syria for the service they breed, they be a present or for the goods they sent to syria. or just simply going to syria and breaking besiege the united state is coming after dis companies and telling them we're going to put your unsanctioned on the list of the sanctions. right now it's only 20 pos down here in moscow. so our rushes for ministry us as it's not surprised by the new revelations about the attack on an old stream. pipelines as leaders in america, had openly threatened the key gas supply route to you. we have repeatedly voiced russia's position on the evolvement of the u. s. a nato, nothing that they did not hide this boasting to the whole world to bad, the intention to destroy the civilian infrastructure through which you are perceived russian energy resources. we also regularly noted the reluctance of denmark, germany, and sweden, to conduct an open investigation and opposition to russia's participation in it.

and this, despite the fact that our country has incurred huge costs, those revelations were made by award winning investigative journalist seymour hersh, who said they attack on russia north stream system was carried out by america with norwegian involvement. though, after months of diligent planning by this decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than 9 months of highly secret back and forth debate inside washington's national security community about how to best achieve that goal. for much of that time, the issue wasn't whether to do the mission with how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible. in a knee jerk reaction, the u. s. was very quick to deny involvement in the covert attacks on the nose during pipelines. we also heard back from norway, he told us here at r t, the allegations on nonsense. but an essay rules of low edward snowden. not entirely convinced, he said, is not the 1st time washington denies allegations referencing his own experience.

when evidence of the u. s. government, spying on its own citizens, was simply rejected by top intelligence officials when testify before congress. the united states was not involved in the nord stream explosion. can you think of any examples from history of a secret operation that the white house was responsible for, but strongly denied? besides, you know that little mass surveillance, careful. meanwhile, some germany opposition bodies of raise their voices to condemn the u. s. auctions and they're asking berlin to start a proper investigation into these revelations. the well known investigative journalist seymour hersh says attack on nord stream was prepared and carried out by the united states. he relies on a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning. the federal government must investigate this suspicion. while the federal government invokes trans atlantic friendship, the us government ensures that that not stream pipeline sub blown up. as pullet

surprised when hearse has meticulously researched, whose interest does the federal government actually represent? we spoke with a pulitzer prize winning form a foreign correspondent for the new york times, who says us denials of the pipeline attack have 0 credibility. that is something that we've seen in the past not only with seymour hersh is reporting, but other investigative look at looks at or investigations into activities that the government wants to keep secret. i think that's the standard responses didn't surprise any of us and i think they had to respond quickly because they couldn't let it just lie out there with some kind of will without a denial. but that denial again doesn't mean much. we look at how these things play out. eventually more information comes out that supports this

initial reporting until it becomes very hard for them to deny it. that's usually what happens. it's bring all the pieces together now to give you a nice clear pitcher is marina cost. it's 2021 that you are. and nato are already irritated by the north stream one gas pipeline because they see it as a threat to western dominance. and now north, soon too was nearing completion, which would double the amount of cheap russian gas flow into germany. something had to be done. and this is how it went down according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning. so joe biden authorizes his national security adviser to create a group, so come up with a plan to get rid of the pipelines. by the end of the year, jake sullivan convenes a meeting of a new task force, men and women from the joint chiefs of staff, the cia and the state and treasury departments. they hold several top secret

meetings in the building right next to the white house and during their brainstorming sessions. the navy, for example, propose as using a newly commissioned submarine, sir sold to the pipeline directly. the air force discusses dropping bombs that could be set off remotely. and the see, i just argued that whatever was done had to be done covertly. the cia director at the time william burns authorizes an agency working group. so craft applying for a covert operation that would use deep sea divers to trigger an explosion along the pipeline. early 2001 see to the c. i a working group reports back to sullivan's inter agency group. we have a way to blow up a pipelines. meanwhile, a few slip ups with regard to nordstrom to we continue to have a very strong and clear conversations with our german allies. and i want to be clear with you today. if russia engage ukraine,

one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russia and reach that means turn to troops crossing the a border. you chris, again then no, there will be a we there will be no longer a nor stream to. we will bring it under the cover surprise of biden's, a newland scent discussions and are wondering what it means for their mission. the cia is william burns, apparently said to it, but how and when? well that's when nor way answers the picture in march as you members of the american scene fly there. so meets with norwegian, secret service and navy. the norwegian navy finds the right spot for the explosives and the weights of camouflaged them so the russian navy doesn't spot them. norway apparently also suggests the ideal cover to plant the mines during the annual nato

exercises in the baltic sea, which take place in june, june swine seats, wednesday to the nato exercises began and the mines are planted. the white house starts having doubts about its g is plant and asks if the mines can be detonated at a later date. so it doesn't look obvious that they did it. the americans in norway now have a new problem. there. have to find a way to do it. the explosives could be triggered by a sono bully dropped by a plane at short notice. it would have met a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds that would be recognized by the timing device and trigger the explosives on september 26th, 2022, and a which a navy p a surveillance plane makes a seemingly a routine flight. and drops us so on her bowie. a few hours later, the high powered sea for explosives are triggered, and the rest is history. i would say it was the u. s. since so.

2018. 0, from what i've heard from you as counterparts. it was all about making sure that no string to which was danced atlanta construction would never become operate. tish saw that all the obstacles that had been crated, whether it was about their pipeline that you are laying now ship to that that was a sanctioned sh. and so the construction took much longer than envisaged with the pipeline destroy. my dear, you asked candy, sure that it will not become operating for, for the foreseeable future. so i believe the u. s. has games the most moving to somalia. now whether you and approved peacekeeping force, the african union transition mission is facing funding shortages and well questions

about where the money is gone. peacekeeping troops were deployed to counter terrorism threats in somalia and 2021 of the mission backed by the african union. and in cooperation with uganda operates with hundreds of millions of euros provided by the e. u. claims on that 5000 ugandan troops haven't even been paid for years. it's raising questions of accountability of the spending. we raised the issue with our brigadier general feelings cuz you get of a uganda's people's defense false. in fact, the people who have come back from the mission here that i wanted to see with the lows. and it's not our fault. because allowance is updated by the african union for us when they receive under poster. so yes, bunks about government a you depends a need opinion. see if your 1000000000 has limited and spots are you and what goes on beyond the uganda. but i think that's the problem. for them to upgrade you to

now the other one bulkhead ukraine. my new to going to the you politics, international police, you moving, you will of the diesel, but they have no didn't but us where they spindly associates. secondly, you know, they have, the only problem is i've been affected by covered in a team and is always self. euclid, russia, so inevitably slit about losing interest is losing the capacity to finance tour briefings are the same day. but for us in uganda, we believe the solution doesn't lay in for, in support. the africans must build capacity to do this problem, the to 5th for the job we need an african solutions for african problems or another part of the continent or sub saharan africa is now reporting the.
