powers are turning a blind eye to that criticism around marks. the 44th anniversary of it is on the grub. allusion, and it can then ration of the countries unity and are a minor to the west of its failure to contain the will of the iranian people with coming to live from the russian capital. this is our 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 and ukraine, as several substantial attacks were reported on friday night. these are unverified images from ukraine, 2nd largest city of harcourt, where a local air defense system apparently tried to report a drone attack, powerful explosions, and a large fire were also reported in the national capital in the care of the region.

this congress, 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 and the russian region of his approach, she, local officials say air defense systems repelled ukrainian artillery attack that used to us applied hammers. rockets, however, some rocket fragments fell on residential areas, damaging homes. at least one civilian died as a result, another was wounded. and in the neighboring down it's gradient. the latest ukrainian artillery showing has wounded at least 2 civilians, residential areas of the city of mikey, i've got came under intense ukrainian fire. our correspondent, roman coast row reports from the scene. ukrainian nationalist use multiple launcher rocket systems against civilians. the once again here, in my case i, one of the shells is still stuck here in this house. as the result of this attack 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 theatre. we blew up thoroughly. so shell hit then the 2nd i realized that i was alive. the dust rose done the showing stopped usury. i went outside with a neighbor and another shell hit. i fell down again. i could feel blood running down my elbows. got you up here. i went with a ne bud 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's 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 had she been here. she would have probably died because the shell struck directly into the house. you know, 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 note, 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 shelling 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 who have fled to neighboring poland. stay present insolence. he is to blame for failing to fulfill his campaign promises to end the nearly decade long conflict in the dawn bass, which led to the current fighting with russia. 0 skis. 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, started another guy, roberto for toronto, ukrainian sir, very chide of the school. it has been going on for a long time to see felton 14. unfortunately, there is foreign influence on zalinski. zelinski won the election. it's true. it's

legitimate, unusual, of course, people are tired of the rules. the resource mobilization, but not no, says, is no nuanced looks that you put a few all slobs ukrainians russians, rebel 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 can extend and beller is 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 of fact and men is i'm many western politicians and means through media outlets. kias is compelling the country's population to join the army and mass western powers have largely ignored complaints about the force mobilization as long as he sets ukrainians are fighting for supposed european values. but 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 in hiding. and poland says that numerous ukrainians have been jailed for simply speaking out openly about zalinski is government. super was to watch another 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 powers off and people go out and blood 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 though it happened to them afterwards. ordinary 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. meanwhile, washington keep sending weapons and money to keep up with ukraine's president zalinski. now asking his western allies to provide fighter jets and even more battle tanks, that is roger waters, a peace activists and co founder of the renown rock ban. pink floyd has spoken out against the increasing arm supply to key as in an interest to the u. n. r t heard from russia is un ambassador about our speech and how western powers remain silent when russia reaches out to negotiate those a hopeful week ending up. but oh, i'm afraid bill, they're still forced to sleep on that month. we just had to, we had the security council briefing, which we requested close to

a this week. in fact, only this week, her on the i'm supposed to clean and where does it lead enormous efforts money that falls into ukraine. that the, the, oh, feeds the conflict. or, you know, that we invited the roger will to so for that briefing him and there were doubts that he could be a brief on the printer, which he brought, he could, and quite a, quite ably i would say we, he was not the pro ration when he spoke, he spoke from what he sink. we never when we invite brief us to the security council, we never dictate them condition on what there should be saying, no priding scripts for them. you have what, what's happened the at the meeting in did. so we're so far this is a conversation between the deaf and the blind. ah iran and celebrating the 44th

anniversary of it says la mac revolution, as it can aeration at beanie of the nation. and a reminder to the you as i've, its failure to contain the will of the iranian people. 44 years ago i saw these query to one was jam packed with hundreds of thousands of iranians, if not millions, to welcome a man who changed the course of history in iran. in mom khomeini, when the mom returned from forest exile in 1979, it meant that thousands of years of monarchy would make way for religious democracy . former monarch mohammed was our part of he known as the shot, had already fled the country. just a few months later, these law mach 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 interval ocean was driven by anti imperialist sentiment with 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. anytime soon, the u. s. and u. k were not prepared for a regime change in iran, and mal 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 governments of mohammed mo, sat down 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 had 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 seem to outweigh the will of western powers. iran will be an independent country, non aligned, not under the influence of any superpower. and it 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 they was resorted to many ways to deal wrote the method. is monica bava a casing point? this will just, i can financial support for iraq in 1980 if you want iraq war. today's hostility toward iran continues to the formal fashion and economic measures precisely these one for calling on the global st usability party. tetra, despite the us failing and it's a tense to south in 1979 revolution, iranian authorities continued to express concerns about foreign meddling, particularly from washington. and he is on it for public domestic affairs. last year, protest her a bit falling, the dad of a 20 year old woman in police custody the secretary ever on. the national security council says the demonstrations were fueled by outside powers and

a 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 with 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 logic 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 attempted coup waters 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. an investigation by the

grades on media outlets show that american government agencies such as u. s. a. i. d provided funding for the insurgency. hundreds of people were killed out of the time in chaotic scenes as armed gangs attempt to destroy the presidential palace with apparent plans to kill the head of state. those jailed over the crew attempt for later labelled as political prisoners by the u. s. department. we heard from nicaragua, base independent journalist by norton, who says that washington has links to violent extremism all across america. states was the main sponsor of the violence. very right. we elements that tried to overthrow nicaragua, democratically elected government. i personally have interviewed a man who is a security guard at the mayor's office in the city of messiah, and he was tortured by these coup platters. and he lost one of his arms. so there are very many victims of his violence who attempts to 2018 and we have documents showing that many of the leaders involved in his career attempts were funded by the

u. s. government through traditional ca cut out. so like the us agency for international development usa id and also the national endowment for democracy. the any be 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 c i had done previously. but to do it out more covert, more overly in the open and the any be in 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, the more recent history of nicaragua, going back to the 1980 s knows that this is not new united states in the 1980 s through the ca, armed and trained terrorists, the contrast they, they burned down schools and hospitals, according to one of their former leaders. they use terrorism as a systematic tactic. they put the ca, health interest put minds in the ports to blow up nicaragua,

ports. so for many people, nicaragua, unfortunately, it wasn't surprising to see that the u. s. government returned to those same tactics that it had use in the 1980s, so that the stabilization attempts never end, but the responses of the government has been different. right. so if a government, which is sovereign, tries to prevent these crew plotters funded by the u. s. from overthrown their government then the u. s. deems them authoritarian, the u. s. imposes 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 crew plotters well, they often get overthrown, as we saw in 2019, in bolivia or right now in peru. the confirm debts hall from the recent earthquake center kia and syria has risen to more than 22000 people. the scenes of devastation are on the epicenter and turkey are simply shocking. so far in turkey alone, more than 20000 does have been confirmed. with another 80000 people injured,

former high rise apartment blocks had been reduced to rubble was signs of those still trapped, getting more difficult to the attack. nevertheless, the search for survivors goes on and rescue teams from all over the world are working in the affected areas. those crews include professional russian emergency personnel assisting, and the disaster relief efforts are t correspondent mohammed casa, has the details from the scene. but also looking at the law, the russian emergency workers continued to provide assistance to the victims. many survivors, 7 grave condition. we walk through the affected area and so the steak of these people, little foot, such a tragic situation, destroyed infrastructure and houses are ready to collapse. at any moment, the russian medical center is providing its services around the clock. and am i what causes quote to philippines it when the earthquake started, i was home lying in bed and the window fell in on me. so i was quickly rescued and

my mother and relatives were also under the rebel, but they were saved to sort of my leg is broken. i came here and russian doctors help me. i'm thankful for russia. uncle maria sally talk leaving masada. everyone is trying to help in any way they can get some of the food, all the shelter people join forces to overcome the catastrophe. the support and necessary assistance is provided at all levels. the people who have survived the biggest disaster in recent decades were hungry, low for their medical history. i mean, thank god for the service. everything is here. as you can see, we're in a mosque. how long can we stay in this house of worship a week or 2 ago? we still don't know what will happen to us after that? generally. how jimmy hot and we came here to the moscow. thank god, help is being provided here. so if people need help, they get it. i joined the rescue group as well to help people. we get people out of

the rubble north to hold machine though your soul was full. huh. we have been recorded, sees that are difficult to describe in woods hot breaking tragedies. at the same time. there is always hope that tomorrow will be better. obama e lawmaker say the block has apparently failed to trace more than 80 percent of the russian financial assets. it is frozen. badges officials are seeking to have the billions in cash to ukraine, claiming live is entirely legal. it produces a law suit. and some of it is that we will also be mobilized to ensure that justice and fairness are applied in relation to the frozen assets for it is right that these frozen assets be mobilized to support the reconstruction of ukraine and be mobilized for fair and legitimate compensation. for ukraine, according to estimate, based on a bank of russia report, nearly $300000000000.00 worth of russian assets are currently frozen in the u. but

as of yet only a few tens of billions have actually been traced by the box members. days are contributor chris during my colleague worry to shake earlier to discuss the implications of this issue. the thing to look at is if we look at these numbers, so the, the european union at the beginning, they reported that they, these $258000000.00 of russian asset dot gold currency. and they were running that really based off the, the numbers from, from the russian government. but coming back with a reward, it which they 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 there's 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 zelinski during this, well, inter, right now if you're a london in 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 because 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, brewery gate. so let me going around thing. give us your plane, give us your planes. i don't think any of the european leaders and even the americans want to give these planes because it's completely worthless because the number one the ukrainians come fly them number 2, the very expensive piece of kit that they need for their own national defense. so i think that's part of the problem and then you just thought just this constant constant issue that we're seeing over and over and over again of just just pepsi 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 make the world see that, you know, i think also it's for the taxpayers and all these countries to say to them, hey, you know what? it's okay, we're not going to make you shut out for the next lot. we're going to give them money. that is, 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 sold the bank of england do this to venezuela in the old margotto. it's gold is still sat in the bank of 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, a legal you may not like the policies of a government. there are many governments around the world. but you and i probably don't like the policies, but we don't advocate that you should steal the money. it turns out though that some are already benefiting from those frozen russian assets, belgium based financial services company, euro clear has reportedly made more than 800000000 euros off the back of the russian cash alone. last february, the restricted the company for maintaining ties with the customers that had in russia. so it made rapidly rising interest rates. the firm decided to invest the russian money that had been locked up in its system. euro clear is now facing lawsuits from clients who have been trying to access their own funds. german economist id hammers says that the incident raises many questions about the use

commitment to international law. it is not on the shopping 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 of national states who have to do this and they didn't do it. they, yes, making profit and stolen as something. this is b and 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 they next, it should teach everybody that these people are not committing to international

law. so get your money back home. this is my, my thing is, is the same, but the us, the us that 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 is right. the other one has to accept whatever the stronger dictates and this is not the international law. this is not the structure of international law. we wanted i had a key russia africa conference that for next month and masters from a range of african countries have gathered in moscow to discuss increasing cooperation. sammy, as envoy believes and enhance, ties with russia will open a new prospect for africa as economy on the whole. africa is looking for investment in key sector such as synergy and agriculture to guarantee in

security 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 him in for a conference. and the from the briefing that we have received an eager, but these conference will come up with conclusions, which are practical and beneficial to both russia and african continent. poland sports minister has added you, rising western calls for russian and bel russian athletes to be banned from next year, summer olympics and france. that is, unless they join a so called refugee team and publicly denounced their country's leaders,

wasn't the which propos, it's not a neutral team, but a refugee team that could include russian, a bell or 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 io see to come out of this situation with their heads held high. a group of 35 countries, including the u. s. jeremy and australia are also demanding a ban on russian and bell russian athletes from the upcoming games. the move cranks up the pressure on the international olympic committee, which is trying to avoid a total boycott from participating countries. the mayor of paris, who at 1st was in favor just a month ago now wants to completely band russian athletes because of the conflict and ukraine. my wishes that they will not be here for as long as this war goes on. it's not possible to parade, is that nothing was happening to have a delegation arriving in paris, while bombs are raining on ukraine. the sports call. miss allen. moore says it

would be disgraceful for the international committee to ban russian and bald russian athletes. we are deal binding athletes because of weather for all the exact same as binding athletes because of the color of their skin or the shorter the mosque or whoever de, whichever god they pray to it. it goes against everything that good sports goes against the principles of the o. c. and i really start to believe the end of the day i see said by thomas by will get their way out of this. he was a little bit better. he knows his way around sores, he knows what to do, what not to do. and i do believe that at the end of the day, this discrimination calculated to, to have binding russian. and that leads from julian be simply because their promotion that 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 dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at the top of the hour. ah, i i imagine return. see and welcome back to going underground rural, gusting all around the world from dubai. in the united arab emirates, a country that's pledged a $100000000.00 of aid to syria. and turkey devastated this week by earthquakes that have killed thousands. but his office of aid around the world to both nations come in. how is war torn syria responding to help from the very countries that have been heavily sanctioning and bombing it for years, the united states accused of killing innocent. so the syrian civilians is.
