as a villain, but that is definitely not the days. and oh do you know that he understand what is good for damnation which is good for its people. ah ah ukrainian nationalists use multiple launch or rocket systems against civilians. the once again here, in my case, one of the shells is still stuck here in this house. we report from the ground in russia, donna's republic for multiple civilians were wounded in the latest ukrainian artillery attack which destroyed the homes of local residence. or on march the 44th anniversary of it is womach revolution and collaboration, other countries, unity and reminder to the u. s. of its failure to contain the will and the erroneous people and the central american nation of nicaragua, releases more than 200 people for jobs several years ago for trying to overthrow

the government and us back with coming to live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. and we begin with the latest from the conflict in ukraine as several substantial attacks for foreigners on friday night. these are unverified images from ukraine, 2nd largest city of harcourt, where a local air defense system apparently tried to repel a drone attack, powerful explosions, and a large fire were also reported near the national capital in the region. this comes a day after local authorities throughout ukraine said, a massive missile attack crippled the country's energy infrastructure. meanwhile, on the other side of the border in the russian region, those oper oh she, local officials that are defense systems. recall the ukrainian artillery attack

that used us applied high mars rockets. however, some rocket fragments fell on residential areas, damaging homes. at least one civilians died as a result and another was wounded. and in the neighboring down at region, the latest ukrainian artillery showing has wounded at least 2 civilians, residential areas in the city, and my case came under intense ukrainian fire. our correspondent, roman closer reports from the scene. ukrainian nationalist g is multiple launcher, rocket systems against civilians. the once again here in my case worker. but one of the shells is still stuck here in this house. as the result of this had sat against civilians, 2 people were wounded. 2 women. right now the men are trying to clear up the debris can see the garage right here was

also destroyed. now the man who the owner of this house, he was lightly wounded as well, and he told us his story. what happened? he was at home alone at that time. beautiful lord fairway blue shall hit and then the 2nd i realized that i was alive. the dust throws none. the shelling stopped short. i went outside with a neighbor and another shell hit. i fell down again. i could feel blood running down my elbow. got us. yeah, i went with a neighbor to the basement to sit all the shelling. there was a direct hit on the garage. there is no roof now. the gas supply was caught, the bathroom was destroyed and there is no water. this family has a foster child right now. she is out of school and usually sits right here at this dining table that day. something prompted her to leave the house and to go to her grandma's or has she been here? she would have probably died because the shell struck directly into the house. tell

her i was at work. my husband called me and said our house is apparently no more. i said, go and look. if the roof is intact, he says i cancelled as that is dust everywhere. and then he looked and said that the roof was destroyed. thank god, the child was not at home in the. she had gone to the grandmother's not which usually if she is at home, she sits here. civilian areas like this one here in the, in escrow public are under constant artillery showing by the ukrainian military. now the soldiers of the key of regime are using a various weapons or for various calibers against civilians including multiple launch rockets system supplied by nato countries. missile defense systems have been working nonstop or the last few days. nevertheless, civilians are still falling victims to the shelling of ukrainian nationalist room

on call for a marty done escrow public ukrainians. her flood to neighboring poland safe residence on ski is to blame her. failing to fulfil his campaign, promises to end the nearly decade long conflict in the dark mass which led to the current fighting with russia. 0. steve zalinski is more of an actor. he doesn't understand politics. well, people simply felt for his promises that there would be peace in the dawn bass, and that ukraine would change dramatically. i think a lot of people were wrong about him. that would be another global ramado for teresa ukrainian sir. very chide of this war. it has been going on for a long time to see felton 14. unfortunately, there is foreign influence on zalinski. but zalinski won't election. it's true. it's legitimate tradition. of course, people are tired of the ball. the rece forced mobilization but not no, says his own yourself that you put a few all slobs ukrainians russians. bell russians are all tired of this conflict

if there had been no. my don qu, in 2014, there would have been no problem in crimea. or the don bass, if we look at other countries that the former soviet union has extend. beller as for example, they live peacefully, the, my dawn was a mistake. we do not yet know what further consequences await us in the future. as ukrainian forces suffer heavy casualties. a fact admitted by many western politicians and mainstream media outlets here is compelling the country's population to join the army and mass. western powers have largely ignored complaints about the force mobilization as lawns. he says ukrainians are fighting for supposed european values for scores of videos posted on the internet show how the ukrainian military has been abducting people right on the streets in broad daylight a political activist from odessa currently hiding in poland says that numerous ukrainians have been jailed for simply speaking out openly

against zalinski, his government is your father will still watching logo with their many videos on the internet, showing young men who have fled from the military draft. if you see people being caught on the street, don't you think that is because people don't really want to go to war? a lot of men have gone to poland to wait out the mobilization. now people are afraid of expressing their opinion because they may be consequences. they can be beaten or even killed. there are a lot of oppressions. it's dangerous to openly oppose the authorities. even when the electrical power is off and people go out and block the road, they're being called to the security service afterwards and intimidated. they can even be sent to prison. people are being hunted for their social media posts. i know several people who were arrested and no one knows that had happened to them afterwards. white in their citizens are tired of the conflict. every one wants peace so that the conflict does not come to them. but unfortunately, other people are making all the decisions are wrong as celebrating the 44th

anniversary of it is all mich revolution, isaac, admiration of the unity of the nation. and a reminder to the u. s. of its failure to contain the will of the iranian people 44 years ago. although the square roots at one was jam packed with hundreds of thousands of iranians, if not millions, to welcome him in. we'll change the course of history in iran in mom khomeini, when the mom returned from force exile in 1979, it meant that thousands of years of monarchy would make way for religious democracy . former monarch mohammed, brazil, part of he known as the shot, had already fled the country. just a few months later, these low mac republic became iran's new ruling system in a nation wide referendum. the slumber republic as the fruit of the nation void uprising was formed based on the idea of religious democracy. the will and vote of

the people and based on the divine and spiritual teachings of the iranian nation. a nation that throughout history has always risen against the oppression of tyrants and has stood up to achieve justice and independence and has not tolerated captivity either for itself or for a nation. this warm convolution was driven by anti imperialist sentiment when the public fed up with the u. s. and u. k. pondering the country's wealth and resources. however, the revolution caught washington by surprise. here at the former u. s. embassy, which iranians called the den of espionage american intelligence service, used to possess the most sophisticated spying tolls. they even boasted they had every single detail about major events, particularly demonstrations and riots on the table. however, the cia did not see the prospects for a revolution. any time, so the u. s. and u. k were not prepared for

a regime change in iran. m khomeini chanted the slogan of independence from superpowers. something which would put an end to the british and american dominance on iran's oil. the 2 countries had already overthrown the democratically elected government of mohammed massaged them by orchestrating the 1953 co and restating the shot to power. that's what made toppling the shot in 1979 thinking the unthinkable for washington. as if viewed, mohammed was up on the v as a close ally, and at the best sense of the word, a puppet. this is an enchanted land, in which maternity, thanks to an enlightened young ruler in the presence of an enormous supply of petroleum harmonizes with one of the earliest civilizations known to recorded history. but the will of the iranian nation seemed to outweigh the will of western powers. iran will be an independent country, non aligned, not under the influence of any super power. and he will only have friendly relations with those super powers that demonstrate that they are ready to respect

our national interest and our independence. what we want from the united states is to respect our revolution except its reality, understand our movements, and submit to it. unwilling to accept this, the feat the worst, resorted so many ways to deal wrote the method is monica mama, i case in point is, is we're just, i can financial support for iraq in the 1980s. you only walk for today's hostility toward the wrong continues of the form or fashion economic measures. price wisely. these ones are probably on the global stage use of w r t f. one does by the us failing and it's attempts to start the 1979 revolution. iranian authorities, convenor expressed concerns about foreign meddling, particularly from washington and the islamic republics. domestic affairs. last year, protest arrived at falling the death of a 20 year old woman in police custody. the secretary of barons national security council says the demonstrations were fueled by outside powers and hapless attempt

to topple the state. the americans themselves have admitted this. they steal not only afghan money, but syrian oil is well this economic strangulation is a manifestation of the inhumane nature of the u. s. which unfortunately, manifests itself not only in terms related to nuclear weapons, but also in terms of economic pressure. enemies use all instruments available to them. the media, psychological warfare linking the development of relations, the west with a decrease in the level of relations with russia, inciting, internal discontent, stigmatizing the development of cooperation with eastern countries. the think tanks in the west, particularly in the us, are developing plans to undermine our relations and are sending those plots to their decision making centers. however, as my meetings with russia's leadership have shown, all that is in vain. we always consider all our people,

especially rainy and citizens in total, comprising all the layers of society. unfortunately, ideological attacks, as well as some of our own miscalculations have led to the store of protests. some mistakes were made on the anniversary of the victory of these law mac revolution. it was decided that these mistakes which were caused by incitement and miscalculations, would be forgiven. this, of course, would anger our enemies, but make the people of iran happier. meanwhile, in central america, nicaragua has released more than 200 attended coupons from jail. they tried to overthrow the national government back in 2018 and what was believed to be a u. s funded operation. it wasn't about negotiating. anything that has to be clear, we're not asking that they leave the sanctions. we aren't asking for anything in return. the united states should take their mercenaries. and unless occasion by the

greys own media outlet showed that american government agencies such as you as a i d, provided funding for the insurgency. hundreds of people were killed at the time and chaotic scenes as armed gangs attempted to storm the presidential palace, with apparent plans to kill the head of state. those jail over the crew attempt were later labelled as political prisoners by the u. s. state department. we heard from nicaragua, based independent journalist, ben norton, who says that washington has links to violent extremist, all across latin america. not in states was the main sponsor of the violence, very rightly elements that tried to overthrow nicaragua democratically elected government. i personally have interviewed a man who is the security guard at the mayor's office in the city of messiah, and he was tortured by these coup plotters and he lost one of his arms. so there are very many victims of his violent attempts in 2018 and we have documents showing

that many of the leaders involved in his co attempt were funded by the u. s. government through traditional ca cut out like the u. s. agency for international development usa id and also the national endowment for democracy. the any the one of the co founders of the any d, l in weinstein told the washington post, that it was created to do basically what the cia had done previously. but to do it out more covert, more overly in the open. and the n d and the usa id spent tens of millions of dollars funding opposition groups that oppose this on the needs to government and the elected president, daniel ortega, and of course, anyone who knows the more recent history of nicaragua going back to the 1900 eighty's knows that this is not new united states in the 1980 s through the ca, armed in trained terrorists, the contrast, they burned down schools and hospitals according to one of their former leaders. they use terrorism as a systematic tactic. they put the ca, help,

the contrast put mines in the ports to blow up nicaragua, ports. so for many people in the corolla, unfortunately, it wasn't surprising to see that the u. s. government returned to those same tactics that it had used in the 1980, so that the stabilisation attempt never end, but the responses of the governments has been different. right. so if a government, which is sovereign, tries to prevent these cool plotters funded by the u. s, from overthrown their government, then the u. s. deems them authoritarian, the us, impose the sanctions on them. this is the same thing that we've seen in venezuela, cuba, nicaragua, and then other countries that don't take action against the coup ladders. well, they often get overthrown, as we saw in 2019, in bolivia or right now in peru. they confirmed at all from the recent earthquakes and turkey and syria has now risen to more than 22000 people. there seems of devastation around the epicenter and her key, or simply shocking, so far enter kia alone,

more than 20000 gas had been confirmed with another aly 1000 people injured. former high rise apartment blocks had been reduced to rubble. were signs of those still trapped, getting more difficult in his hat, while the surgeon rescue worker to remain diligent and focussed, has turned to assisting survivors who are in desperate need of food and shelter. and in the freezing, cold, winter weather artes peter scott before it's on how locals are trying to cope with a disaster. more than 100 hours after the massive earthquakes shook this region. and just as hope was fading, that any one would still be found alive. in the early morning on friday, india back here, a woman and it's, and your son were rescued alive from this building just behind me. now there believe to be the latest survivors from this tragedy in the whole of the country efforts are now been directed to prevent a 2nd humanitarian disaster. in showing that those who survived the earthquakes don't die from cold and hunger, that they spend a 5th freezing night huddled together in makeshift shelters,

to key as president has called it the disaster of the century. this is one of the latest temporary comes to be set up india back here, containing some of the 623 tents dotted around the city. hygiene here is a concern. there are no showers, and only the public toilet facilities in the park itself. close quarters in camps or breeding grounds for disease. some of the residents in here also have their own complex health care needs. we spoke to one elderly woman who should attend to with 4 of the families, 18 people in total. yes, we are in a very bad situation. have cancer. there is not a bad to sleep on aid workers, a take him bads only for their relatives. they gave us nothing. we have no blanket, no bed. there is no cab mad. our children are too young for 4 days. they haven't had a shower, they don't have any clothes with them all for clothes. i tell her home,

and we are afraid to call fair residence in the city are seeking shelter anywhere they can in cars, train carriages, bus stations, schools, football stadiums, and hundreds of settle camp here in deer. buck is grand mosque, the building can trace his history back thousands of years. the fact is still standing while of the more modern ones crumbled, with certain a few questions into what some c as took years, a point foresman, a new building codes that were brought in after the is miss earthquake in 99, where 17000 people died. the people of turkey and syria can only hope that lessons from this tragedy will be learned. a lawyer say the block has apparently failed to trace more than 80 percent of the russian financial assets. it has frozen. that as officials are seeking to give the billions in cash to ukraine, claiming the move is entirely legal. if it is a lawsuit and some of these, we will also be mobilized to ensure that justice and fairness are applied in

relation to the pros and assets. it is right that these frozen assets be mobilized to support the reconstruction of ukraine and be mobilized for fair, illegitimate compensation for ukraine bills given according to estimates based on a bank of russia report, nearly 300000000000 dollars worth of russian assets are currently frozen in you, but as of yet only a few tens of billions have actually been traced by the block members state. are you contributor chris? sure, and my colleague worry earlier discuss the implications of this issue. the thing to look at it, if we look at these numbers. so the, the european union at the beginning, they reported that they see $258000000.00 of russian asset that gold currencies. and they were running that really based off the, the numbers from, from the russian government. but coming back with a reward in which they've come back this way, they've only found $36400000000.00, which begs the question, whereas the rest of the money gone, i mean,

it looks like it's probably or would be effectively being taken already, or that a massive, massive or the thing era, but you wouldn't really expect from brussels, you know, that has its own currency, the year run by its own central bank. it just makes absolutely no sense whatsoever . you know, obviously we've had zalinski during this well into right now if you're of london and paris and brussels and all that. but i guess when it comes to the issue of frozen assets or even that the potential for stealing these assets. cuz that's basically what it's going to be as fast. why now? well, i think you've hit it on the, on the head, right. worry gate, you know, let me going around thing. give us your planes, give us your planes. i don't think any of the european leaders and even the americans wants to give these planes because it's completely worthless because number one, the ukrainians come fly them a number to the very expensive pieces of kit that they need for their own national defense. so i think that's part of the problem, and then you've just thought just this constant constant issue that we're seeing over and over and over again of of just just petty law. is that the just trying to justify now, i'm really the only way i think to justify is to create another sort of storm of

a story in order to the, to make the world see that, you know, i think also it's for the taxpayers in these countries to say to them, hey, you know what? it's okay, we're not gonna make you shut out for the next lot. we're going to give them money . that it, we're going to steal money from russia base. if you think they're going to get away with it. it's, you know, really sadly, i think they probably will not tell you for why. i mean, we saw the bank of england did this to venezuela. oh, my daughter gold is still sat in the bank having that, or they haven't spent it. but the fact that they were able to get away without, without really seeming much outside from the international community and doing it, you know, that's quite frankly illegal. you may not like the policies of the government. there are many governments around the world. but you and i probably don't like the policies of but we don't advocate that you should steal their money in. turns out the summer already benefiting from those frozen russian assets, belgium based financial services company, euro clear has reportedly made more than 800000000 euros off of the back of the russian cash alone. last february, the restricted the company for maintaining ties with the customers that had in

russia. so amid rapidly rising interest rates, the firm decided to invest the russian money that had been locked up in its system . euro queer is now facing lawsuits from clients who have been trying to access their own funds. german economists id him error says that the incident raises many questions about the use commitment to international law. it is not shocking in the concerning international law, but it's shocking for european citizens to why. because normally the european union itself has no right to seize anything. no, right to do anything like that. it is the national government to national states who have to do this and they didn't do those. yes. making profit uninstall and that's something this is beyond explanation and who is next? now they claim this is, these are rational funds next,

who is next. and the funny thing is they are already preparing that every german, for example, has to declare what s s t got. so are they next? it should teach everybody that these people are not committing to international law. so get your money back ho. this is my, my thing is the thing with the us, the us at the same stuff. so for every european, every german it is essential to get your money home, not leave it at the people. and this is now breaking apart the entire concept of the so called globalization, and it shows only the strongest, right. the other one has to accept whatever the stronger dictates and this is not the international law. this is not the structure of the international law. we wanted i had a key russia africa conference for next month,

and masters from range of african countries have gathered in moscow to discuss increasing cooperation damages, envoy believes that enhance ties with russia will open up new prospects for africa . as economy on the whole, africa is looking for investment in key sector, such as energy and agriculture to guarantee insecurity as well as food security. we have oxidative deficits both energy in many african countries. so we are bunking on the russian technology to develop infrastructure for energy products. i would like to confirm that we are looking forward to the upcoming russia africa in to put them in for the conference. and if from debriefing that we have received an eager but these conference will come up with conclusions. rita, practical and beneficial to both russia and the african continent

colon sports minister has added your rising western calls for russian and bel ration athletes to be banned from next year, summer olympics and france. that is, unless they join a so called the refugee team and publicly denounced their country's leaders. most of which propos, it's not a neutral team, but a refugee team that could include russian and beller, russian athletes who are dissidence from the prudent and lucas shanker regimes. this concept has been received with interest and i think it can be a basis for discussion with the i o. c. to come out of this situation with their heads held high. that comes as a group of $35.00 countries, including the u. s. germany and australia are demanding and ban on russian and bel russian athletes from the upcoming games. the move ranks of the pressure on the international olympic committee were just trying to avoid a total boycott for participating countries. the mayor of paris,

who at 1st was in favor just a month ago now wants to completely ban russian athletes because of the conflict in ukraine. so funny my wishes that they will not be here for as long as this war goes on. it's not possible to parade as if nothing was happening to have a delegation arriving in paris, while bombs are raining on ukraine. we heard from former russia, russian power lifting world champion, marianna and i love who says that no athlete should have to compete under such terms. spoke a little breath with needle. ringback situation that is happening in the world is absolutely clear to everyone. it seems to me that there is no place for russia and international competitions now. or if there is with shame with a white flag, glo, scores and so on. in my understanding, an athlete is a person who has high moral and volitional qualities and should be an example for the younger generation. when i have children, i probably won't be able to explain why our athletes went to international competition and represented with some kind of white flag. the situation is very

difficult, right now. the fighting is taking place on our territories. and if earlier it would have been possible to turn to bind, die to restrictions for athletes. now we need to defend only our position, but we need to focus on the development of support within the country and hold our own competitions. as the soviet union did communicate and be friends with our allied countries and hold competitions with them, why not? for its calling. miss allen moore says it would be disgraceful for the international committee to ban russian and russian athletes you know, deal signing up fees because the waterfall, it's the exact same as binding us please because of the color of their skin or the church, or the mosque or whoever day, whichever god, they pray to it's, it goes against everything. that's good. sports, it goes against the principles of i o. c. and i really strongly believe at the end of the day, you'll see that by tom's back. and we'll get to way out of this. he was

a dancer, he knows his way around swords, and he knows what to do, what not to do. and i do believe that at the end of the day, this discrimination calculate to, to binding russian or snap beats from juliet, big simply because they're russian about russia. it's enough to disgrace. and i think it's something that the whole or should be crying about. because remember, it could be your country next, and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development. only really and get into

this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk with ah, hi, i'm rick sanchez. i've been doing news for 30 years and 2 languages around the world and here in the united states, i've interviewed for presidents. oh, i co founded a $1000000000.00 business. you know what i believe, i believe news should be honest and direct and impactful. this is direct impact.
