with one minute to 11 at night in mother gaster in mombasa. and here in moscow, welcome to the global news roundup on archie. we begin with the conflict in ukraine and on bugs. shocking foot age has emerged online, reportedly recorded by ukrainian soldiers, showing them executing a captured russian prisoner of war. a warning, the following video is extremely disturbing. you do i do the rabbit, i you? good, good. thank you. oh, g, g i. when verified the video, ukrainian soldier going up actually shoots or russian service men in their head multiple times. we blurred eyes, some of the victims wearing

a white patch typically worn by russian troops. it comes after numerous other accusations of ukrainian soldiers killing russian p. o w's, the united nations has documented several of those cases. the call for investigation in law, local official say, a barrage of ukrainian artillery shelling had done yet. republican weapons, the killing 2 civilians and wounding for others, including children. authorities state ukrainian forces fired more than 100 artillery. busy shows up civilian areas in the region. a number of apartment buildings on a shopping mall were damaged. well, i must have blazer wrapped it in the center of the regions, capital and rushes. defense ministry how's reported around $75.00 ukrainian soldiers were killed near the city of woodland or within the past 24 hours or so. several armored vehicles also destroy. does moscow's troops conduct

an offensive in that area? our teeth eager sit down off is on the front lines watching rushes, special forces conduct those operations. right now we are just outside the small town of the 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 mesa, but they won't be targeting any machinery nor tanks. rather, they will be working on hitting command centers inside again, the major ukrainian stronghold which almost fell just a couple of weeks ago. he has come on the managed to

reinforcement and right now the army as a hard time has a hard time getting hold of it. but i'm being told that it's just a matter of time until this small but difficult. a tooth . ah, this spot to watch is the project i'll being carefully guided towards its target. and when it connects, he doesn't hold back emotions. with

no problem, watching a korean armies operate at a collision course here. keep forces positions have been reduced too small batch over parts and block buildings on a hilltop. it's a dominating a height yet the ukrainians are trying to expand their zone of control. the russians, on the other hand, found 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, and i'll just get the little one. the enemy is detected and destroyed every day by the forces of our intelligence and artillery is the same. every whap attempts by the ukrainian army to counter attack were repulsed up to a company of soldiers and heavy equipment were destroyed. but such special anti 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 their hitler's to get even longer. i'm a gosh done of reposing from the dumbass odd sea. sir gil of ralph has slammed the west over its insistence that africa condemn rush over the ukraine conflict. the foreign minister said western leaders could abuse that very same energy to prevent the situation from escalating the fact that our western colleagues are so persistently chasing around the world demanding the condemnation of russia speaks volumes. i buy the minsk agreements. we wouldn't need a special operation and we know that you credit. but on the contrary, we're preparing for a hybrid war, everything to eliminate a political competitor. well, let's just delve into that comment. the minsk agreements were meant to be the cornerstone of the peace process between the dumbass republics and key if they were

brokered by russia, germany in france, 8 years ago and signed by ukraine. however, in a recent interview to a german news outlets ukrainian, president vladimir zalinski noted that several years ago he told the manual micron and langler merkel that key of would not abide by the minced accords as they would hon. back to russia, influence over ukraine are friendly states should not blame us for this. but i think the minsk agreements were a concession, i told emmanuel macaroni and anglo merkel. we cannot implement it this way. another sentiment is something also admitted by ukraine's previous president petro, for a shank o. in fact, le mars lensky is now the fift were a leader. to declare the aim, to establish long term peace and dunbar via those minsk accords was not the plan. earlier. the french and german leaders who mediated unsigned. the protocols said the agreements were created to give more time to key, have to prepare its troops,

get more weaponry and stand against moscow. less cross live. now, to independent dutch journalists, sonya london and day for her take on developments from you. thanks for taking the time to day. so now we have mr. lindsey saying that he actually told the money will crawl now. langler merkel that he would not follow the court. russia, you know, got hammered for a partially not abiding by the agreement. but no, i would suggest the truth is slowly appearing to emerge. yes, actually he is now the 5th leader saying that, you know, the minute agreement actually was nothing. because from the beginning it was clear apparently to him all the other ones, like merkel recruit them over. yeah, you can sure went through leaders anymore. maybe in the early days you can you,

it's betrayal as we can say. and also he mentioned somehow in that as you go into the 19 president who said that there would be withdraw that he could even draw his army there. and he said, no, it would take 20 years. so i mean, this is also 20 years. gosh, ridiculous, but it actually does trust when day and the go share something or make an agreement that was actually going to be my point. sunny you mentioned blood mirrors on wednesday, the 5th. we're a leader who's now admitted the minster agreements were not what they seemed. indeed. what does that say about european diplomacy? was the whole thing a sham or did it start in good faith? do you think? maybe in 2015, it started off include faith, this is merkel, and i think it was interesting my chrome, but apparently they will have an agenda. i suppose,

am lensky came and i think he only attended one meeting with a story. it was marco and local, and mr. wooten and well, he, i think, and he made it clear to the leaders that said, well, he's not going to abide by this. he will, you know, ukraine is supposedly, will be a text about russia or russia. maybe we'll go to evade or there early influence of russia, and this is what he didn't want. and i think the agenda was clear after a while. and yeah, did you say if i did, and of course it's already know that since 2014 weapons were going to learn ukraine . and actually de confirmed is now by saying that you know, the agreement. and yeah, it was just the stock of the military, so yeah, supposedly they already started that in 2014 also in that interview given to the german daily mr. since the spoke of his communications with chancellor sholtes

in terms of at weapons supplies, we can just take a listen to gather to what was spoken. i told the chances, oh, laugh, listen, we're missing missiles. i know that you don't have any more yourself. we also have an intelligent service. i know you give us everything you have and i don't know how, but he actually managed to get them produced fast up. i have to put pressure to help the crane and constantly convince him that this help is not for us, but for the europeans. yes, certainly a lot of pressure at your take on those from mark sonya, including that giving li, filleted to key of is actually about helping europeans. well this, this statement is ridiculous, of course, because he's not going to help you repeat and by demanding weapons by demanding. thanks now michelle. busy so because that's why you cannot demand weapons and say

ok, tell me your opinions and why russian standing in front of a drum, any or a poland or metal? no, i mean, no, there are no, it's actually for him. he wants to wage war in the don't was on the people in the us. that's my thing for this and also, and he's pressuring so he said, well, i think mister shows just has maybe, somehow a little. yeah. course you must be cautious because, you know, durham, and he started world war 2 and germany and russia sending drum and things are jim and michelle again to. yeah, to defeat the russia, is very bad of course. and i know in the eastern part of germany, there's a lot of people who are against this war, what he is proclaiming shoals and soleski. so he has to be careful. but anyhow, he will follow up the agenda and april as what i have heard. he will them differently off, i think. yeah,

we see what will emerge from not when not happens as well. so you, thanks very much for coming in the program today. we've been speaking to sonia funding in the independent dutch journalist benefits thing. now south africa is present several run reports or has declared a states of disaster in the nation after a crippling energy crisis that he hopes to overcome. he said today by invoking emergency powers the no show disaster management center has consequently classified the energy crisis and its impact as a disaster. we are therefore declaring a national state of disaster to respond to the electricity crisis and suicide. while from war on today's speech, we can speak to our t correspondent, co rabble,

let us a trouble. hello there. i was listening to the majority of that speech. a lot of problems laid out a lot of possible solutions given as well on a lot of help is needed isn't yes, certainly, right. yes, a little help is needed, especially when it comes to south africa's power crisis. now, as you know, you know, there was a lot of expectations leading up to the speech by president, oppose her, but at the same time, there was just as much, if not more expected in terms of delivery and what he can actually do about a situation that we are said to be and in terms of the power prices for the next 2 or 3 years or so. now declaration of the national fate of the ross that will help in terms of giving government and the particularly the executives power to make decisions rather quickly without necessarily having to, to adhere to what might,

what one might call the government's way of doing things, which is normally slow, very tedious and very measured. this will examine the some, some key institutions in terms of hospitals. and it will also exempt what a treatment plan from being load shed no, no cheddar south african terms, means being, being cut off the power supply. and that's what we have to do here. we have to live pretty much every day knowing that we will not have power at a certain point. and they just differ according to the density of the shortage of electricity that is needed in the system. and in 2022 was probably the worst air or was heavier on record. but in 2023, we still to know a day that is without such power cuts. but before or you know, could utter a word, the opposition lived up to its promise that they will,

that the intend to disrupt this each, that he is an illegitimate president. that he has no right to be speaking to them. and he has failed the country. and before things really started anyway, we could even a single word. they were all, all the him, really haggling him and trying to flow if you will with points of order some spurious. but some one might say he had grown to be there, but he was well protected by the visa, but he actually had to be protected by the speaker. as you can see, this level where he almost charged by the opposition. and then is that going to be known by those who lead in the usual rate overall? let's take a look. i lose a

tooth . and then if the laser things here, the opposition 3 don't 5 does particularly i known for this kind of behavior. and they did this to us a lot, a presidency, really haggling him and calling him out on some of the allegations of corruption that were leveled against the president and the family. back to back at the end of 2016 to 2018 was that was a president. this was a 7 state of the nation address. in 5 years, the man took over in 2018 and there was an election period in between that allowed

him to, to address another state of emergency. but of course, not only as you have to contend with the opposition and what they think you actually have to contend with real problems. and the energy situation is a real problem, considering the fact that he has his government has already taken so much money with western government. that of the united states, the united kingdom, germany, france, and the european union. we've been granted. we rather government government granted some $8500000000.00, which he and his cabinet hopes to invest over the next 5 years into renewables, into the car market, into the hydrogen cell market and all kinds of renewable energy. we're talking right now about the south africa that is deprived of such powers. all of these things i just aspirational and for people who deal with bread and butter issues, we need more concerted efforts to dealing with the right now as the potential

threats to the economy. and to people's livelihood that every guy has been battling with a high rate of crime. and the leg of electricity really brings to the floor. the fear that most people, particularly women and children, continue to feel in this country. that has awfully awfully high rates of, of violence method out against the venerable groups that i just mentioned. but it was interesting that even though we have taken a loan, which was a this, you know, which only had very little grants, granted to in some 3 percent of which, even though we had taken so much look into whether you are both, he's deliver the african national congress line that we still believe in an energy mix for this country and that includes different kinds of war. so fuels and we remain committed to that. as you know, south africa's energy over 80 percent of it still comes from coal fired power

station. the less listen to the president as he outlays his intentions with regards to the energy mix. all of these measures will result in a massive increase in power to the grid over the next 12 to 18 months, and also beyond. now this power will be in line with our diverse mix of energy sources, including our current coal fired power station, sola, when you clear hydro and that you storage. now the love of a is talking about the commitment to coal fired power stations. but on the other side of which is that pandering to, to the western government and they push for us to truly transform an increase the pays their off. we have close to one of the, of the cold by

a power station that is the mighty cor plaid our brand. and there is more intention, some clothing, others. but when it comes to issues such as oil for such a gas, such as nuclear, one might say that his government has been caught rather unaware, very little progress when it comes to that. and especially when it comes to something like the belt, which would require a lengthy period of time, settled on what the government has not announced anything bigger than 3 giga was to be acquired from nuclear. and we, you know, pretty much operate got one. that's why we are not lifting a power source, which is the same with the government's asking us to 10 our bank again. and then remains, saw a point of contention and more than it's still needs to be seen to be done. but there is also a man who knows about billions and

a lot of these beach with pins on south africa. the ability rather than nation, south africans ability to overcome said we can, we through overcame the, our party system. and we didn't tend to get each other. and we overcame the, you know, the covert pandemic and what it meant. having lost over a 100000 lives in the country, then we can overcome the power crisis. but this is very much in line with what he has been saying all along. and then very much in line with, you know, the be the drama set out on borrowing from the book of nelson mandela. his, his is his duration and his role model especially with regards to being president. but there is a dawn inside out on our and that continues to be the leader of the economic freedom fighters. those are the guys you see in the red overalls. they are lead out was once a leader in the ruling african national. congress used movement and he was

a very popular leader from there, and he took that popularity was he got expelled out of the party to form his own political party. and like i said, just as he had handled, jacob's zoom up on stages, especially on an international platforms, he continued to do the same with any other president that he feels has betrayed or has lost the confidence of the nation. and here is julia smell. emma really aligning a case the continues to hon, settled on poster then of course, of the famous from gateway a preliminary investigation made out of 3 judges. found that he does have a case to answer. and because of that, as effectively challenged his own element in south african caught this listen, i meant that he is going to move leg to stand before us as a legitimate i actually

did this with the other guy is never showed of drama, especially during the state of the nation and i expect pretty much the same will be the case next. the probably thanks very much for the fer, explain our to correspondent carol letter a republican congressmen is set to introduce a resolution to the house of representatives, calling on the biden administration to end it's military and financial aid to ukraine. my case is altered the monday washington make efforts to broker a peace agreement. but more on this let's cross to our teach killer, my pen. hi there caleb. i believe it's called the ukraine fatigue resolution. take us through its main objective. sure. busy we have mat gates in the us house of

representatives, he's coming forward to put forward this resolution and it would end. 3 us aid to ukraine. now at the same time that he's talking about moving ahead and introducing the ukraine fatigue resolution. we also have republicans in the house of representatives and in the senate, calling for an auditing and where all these billions and billions of dollars after ukraine have actually gone years. some of what we've heard. we cannot save ukraine by dooming the u. s. economy. americans are feeling the pain, and congress seems intent only on adding to that pain by shoveling more money out the door as fast as they can. it's high time to stop sending any more money. don't send another penny to the ukraine and to start auditing where the money, when we are funding ukraine's budget, with, with the term at $11800000000.00 is going to assistance including for direct

budgets support. the question is, is ukraine now the 51st state of the united states of america? and what position does the lensky have in our government? this is outrageous. and the american people deserve answers. in january, the by the administration announced it was planning to increase aid to ukraine. there's been announcements that there will be $31.00 abrams and one tanks sent to ukraine. and on top of that, a new report from the u. s. department of defense indic rates that another $2000000000.00 may be headed he of soon here's what's been reported. the department of defense announces a significant new package of security assistance for ukraine. this includes the authorization of a presidential draw down of security assistance valid at up to $425000000.00, as well as $1750000000.00 in ukraine security assistance initiative fonts.

now, the biden administration intends to increase aid to ukraine, and this resolution ukraine, the t resolution has minimal chances of being passed. however, it is representative of growing dissents within the republican party, specifically to u. s. policy in eastern europe. so there seems to be a rising amount of discontent among americans regarding billions of dollars. the u . s. government is pouring into kiev, and that, that dissent is being heard in the floors of congress. so we'll see how things play out. taken us through all votes ortiz, kill him up and in new york, just on to if it and mystery. russia's top diploma has wrapped up his latest tour of africa. breaking down survey laross trip. pierce ortiz, bureau guffman cartoon. the last days of russian foreign minister. se gay lover of stores africa his visit to sir does. capital city coincides with the trips by envoys from 5 western countries. the us, britain, france,

. this is on top of the consequences of the pandemic when in fact, the food crisis began precisely during the pandemic when chains were interrupted and the market was the satellite bridge, there was a jump in prices for grain and all the agricultural products. although in general, there were sufficient food supplies in the world. these are un statistics. therefore we will continue to seek solutions to all of these issues and obligations that were taken before us. we're talking about a package deal which.
