even with a 50 meters away from me, this is where another ukrainian shill, emergency workers are still working here. sure. you clear out of the rubble perhaps to find more victims. ukrainian shelling of done yet, city kills walden, civilian, and leave at least 3 more wounded, according to local officials who say key have used us applied high march rockets to attack multiple residential areas. also ahead of them. there's always that hope for waking up, but i'm afraid that they're still fast asleep so far. this is

a conversation between the difference with an exclusive talk r t. here is from russia, is ambassador to the un about rising global condemnation of weaponry, supplies to kin how western powers are turning blind eye to their citizens with sand around marks that 44th anniversary of it. this revolution, commemorating the country's unity, while also sending a message to run, say something us as fail to contain the will of our radiance with from moscow to the world. this is your r t, thanks for choosing us for your global news roundup today on, you know, at least one person has been killed and 3 others that we did, then ukraine's latest shelling of then yet city, according to local authorities. multiple residential areas have come under attack.

the following is footage of our house in the aftermath of the bombardment. well, he wouldn't be able to talk with uninjured 30 year old woman. they seen being carried away by emergency workers. her mother was apparently killed instantly when a us supplied high mars rocket struck their home. while at the scene, our news team came under ukrainian shelling as well. our teach romance costs ref sent us this report of ukrainian nationalist used american made multiple launch rocket systems called high mars against civilians here in the nets. once again, as the result, one person in the strikes continued at the moment, but i'm not going to lose him with still going

to room with. while we were working, ukraine continued to show this area where we are right now. a shell exploded about 50 meters from where we're standing right now. this is the spot where one person was killed and one person was severely wounded. was a mother and the daughter, the mother, his now dead. the daughter was taken to the hospital right in front of our eyes, according to what we've seen here. it was the result of a strike by an american made multiple launch rockets system called hi mars. the house is completely destroyed right now as we're sending here, strikes still continue. that shows one thing is that ukrainians are employing the

same tax practice as a terrorist. meaning that so once they strike one place and when the emergency team say get to this point to say the people they strike yet again, it looks like that this rice are continuing right now as we speak. this is a purely civilian area right now behind me that 50 meters away from me. this is were another he crenan shill. emergency workers. i still work in here trying to clear out the rubble perhaps to find more victims. we're going to try and get out of this place right now because once again, ukrainian san 6 recently have been shelf this same areas over and over again. they're waiting until emergency rescue teams come to

a place to help people out. and then they're showing this place. once again, we're sending out rankoff party nest, republic and also in russia's border region of belgrade. the governor say is ukraine's military has shell, the ton of ship beck, enough, wounding 3 civilians. these are the latest images we have from the seen. a number of civilian buildings and vehicles were hit in the ukrainian a talk with local authority stating there are no military targets nearby. and in a region further sites from there is up a rogia official say, a ukrainian artillery at sac using an american supplied high mars rockets was rip held. however, some rocket fragments fell in residential areas, damaging homes, at least one civilian died. as a result,

well we've been hearing from some ukrainians who fled to poland. they say a significant portion of the claim for the conflict. those scenes must go to presidential landscape because according to them he failed to fulfill its own campaign, promises to bring it in today near decade, long violence against on past residents. this is 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 don bass, and that ukraine would change dramatically. i think a lot of people were wrong about him that you are not required to colorado for theresa 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 want the election. it's true, it's legitimate. can yes, of course people are tired of the ball. the rece forced mobilization but not no, says his own you must have that. yeah. like

a to all slobs ukrainians. russians bellow, russians are all tired of this conflict if there had been no. my don qu, in 2014, there would have been no problem and 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. with ukrainian forces reportedly suffering heavy casualties. here is compelling. the country's population to join the army on mass as we just heard. at one person say there, but western powers of largely ignored complaints about the force mobilization as vladimir zalinski phase ukrainians are fighting for european values. it comes as scores of videos have emerged, showing the ukranian military rounding off residents, seemingly against their will for the political activist from the black sea port

city of odessa who wishes to remain anonymous in poland says numerous ukrainians have been jailed for speaking out against thee sir lensky government. so your father will store to another woocommerce, there are 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. ordinary citizens are tired of the conflict. everyone wants peace so

that the conflict does not come to them. but unfortunately, other people are making all the decisions. and why washington continues the sin, weapons, and money to keep ukraine's president is still demanding more asking his western allies to not provide fighter jets on more bottlenecks. it comes as the prominent peace activists on pink floyd co founder roger waters. at this week, address the you and, and spoke out about the increased arm supplies to give rushes un ambassador reflected on the rock legend speech in an exclusive interview with our tea. while also speaking on high western powers, remained silent when it comes to russia, calling for peace talks. this is part of about cit, dawn, which can be watched in full throughout the day. he are naughty. those hopeful waking up. but oh, i'm afraid though, there's too fast asleep on the month. we just had to. we her go. the security

council briefing, which we requested luster of this week in effect earlier this week on the i'm supposed to clean and where does it lead enormous efforts, money that falls into grain that the, that feeds the conflict. you know that we invited the roger was so without briefing them and there were doubts that he could be a brief on the butter which he brought. he could have quite a quite able i would say we, he was not the pro ration when he spoke. he spoke from what you think we never when we invite brief us to the security council will never dictate them condition on what they should be saying, not writing 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, okay,

know the story we're across today around is celebrating the anniversary of it says law mich revolution. but people marking the countries unity and sending a reminder of the iranian peoples resolve. i made constant western pressure. now that could be seen directly at a rally and 2 rounds as a di, square, one of the hot spots of the 19 or $79.00 revolution, thousands wave national flags and hell posters denouncing washington sanctions crusade. we heard from r t contributor, you said generally about the importance of the anniversary, and what it means to citizens there. 44 years ago, although the square roots at one was jam packed with hundreds of thousands of iranians, if not millions, to welcome a man who changed the course of history any one a month hominy. when the mom returned from forced exile in 1979, it meant that thousands of years of monarchy would make way for religious democracy

. former monarch mohammed resolved out of he known as the shot, had already fled the country. just a few months later, these la mac republic became aaron's new ruling system and a nationwide referendum, the slum as 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 army coverage and was driven by anti imperialist sentiment with the public fed up with the u. us 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 tools. 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 that he was 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 soil. the 2 countries had already overthrown the democratically elected governments of mohammed massaged them by orchestrating the 1953 co and restating the shaft to power. that's what made toppling the shot in 1979, thinking the unthinkable for washington. as if viewed, mohammed resolved on the v as a close ally, and then 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 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, the worse resorted so many ways to deal with the method is monica mama, i casing point this logistic and financial support for iraq in the 1980s. you only walk for the day thought somebody toward the wrong continues of the formal fashion economic measures price wisely. these ones are probably on the global stage use of the early party chevron will that might want to some have call failed for an

attempt to stop dance revolution 4 decades ago around continues to express concerns about, i'd say state medley and it's domestic efforts. last year, protest rapid following the death of a 22 year old woman after she died in police custody. official say she had an existing condition that led to a faithful heart problem. now the count has been contested by activists. the secretary overruns national security council says the demonstrations were fueled by western officials in room attempt to topple the leadership. 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. sink tanks in the west, particularly in the u. s. 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. okay,

let's turn attention on the program now to africa, where the former president of kenya has called for additional troops to be sent to the democratic republic of congo to aid the government, as it continues its fight against the militant group known as and 23. the facilitator urges the countries of east african community regional force to deploy and take up the positions urgently and without further delay throughout eastern d. r. c. and in the case of north cuba, for the regional force to interpose itself between the fighting forces in areas where the withdrawal of the arm groups has been affected. for people in the d. r. c, who suffered from m. 23 attacks gathered this week to protest what they call unsuccessful peacekeeping missions. now this is the aftermath from a number of days ago. we're seeing when connelly citizens class with a un peacekeepers supply convo in the eastern part of the country. the u. s. body open fire and what they say was self defense and killed 8 civilians and wounded 28

others. amid rising tensions in the country local to have called upon regional forces to be more active in combating terrorists. we spoke with a kenyan based geo political specialist who told us local forces there, loc, the resources to take on me and 23 insurgents. they don't have a function of the democratic republican, that's eastern part of the democratic republic of congo. but i've been having trouble and getting better, but it's not an ideal contrition. it's not possible because the for the fact that we sent the special ed, this is doctor going into vince from force data. does it need to be filling in the convoy? so what about the only military that i've got into the common take enough is the can them, me, it is the global demand for minute or that are mostly funding because that are needed probably in the amount of touch of electronics and other items across go to

want to get these mean at all in a clear manner that benefit the people. so we have a lot of interest in putting, hitting each other, pitching warlords, picking them up, and i don't want to get to the middle illegally out of that is primarily the problem. if the measurements that you did at the end of the encountered spectrum for vanity of the kimberly and allow them to benefit from they are going to give him pulses and buy them from the believe government. the government needs to build the income in an equally across the country. enough people will thing with african issues, rushes ambassador to the democratic republic of congo, spoke with r t about the difficult situation in the country and moscow funds to help catalina when there's dinner. unfortunately, we're forced to note a significant aggravation of the situation in the east of the d r. c. along with

a sharp deterioration in that countries relations with the neighbouring republic of rwanda. he, of course, russia has assumed an active role in the pursuit of a peaceful resolution. we have repeatedly expressed support for the efforts carried out within the framework of the nairobi process and with the mediation of angola. so i would especially like to note the well coordinated work of our embassy in new york, whose employees not only acted consistently in the un security council, but also repeatedly visited the democratic republic of congo. for our part. during the past year, we travelled twice to the east of the d r. c, where we held meetings with the military governor of the province of north tivo and civil society activists. during which they expressed their readiness to provide all possible assistance for the efforts to counter illegal armed groups and to establish a long term peace or mean wealth in africa's largest economy. nigeria,

tensions are rising over. a shortage of cash supplies after the central bank decided to replace the bank notes in circulation with a new issue. let's go through about means a lack of hard currencies become a major point of contention really in the nation as a preparing for presidential elections later this month. there's also a deficit of fuel with long lines seen onside both banks on petrol station. the central bank decided to change the notes in an effort to combat counterfeiting control, inflation r t, correspond balloon. david takes up the story. the latest challenge nigerians are facing is a lack of cash, barely few weeks. it's general elections, bank, tennessee, and automated teller machines. the out of currency notes that more no movement effort. you can do anything without money. this has re affected no god where praying for god to give us a good government to help us because we're tired of this. i'm over my, my this my business. if i go to the bank won't let me take out money from my

business. i can't access those funds. i'm tired of this. i don't know what to do. i need money for my business so that i get support and develop it right now my businesses and decline. in october last year, the government announced the redesign of 20501000 barrels. a 100 there we do was given to citizens to return on hold note and we put all the means in return. what you've seen now is that the central bank guys achieved somewhere on 85 percent of collection of ordinance. i refused to give them the new notes because it's alleged that the central bank only printed about 15 to 20 percent on what to collect. if people don't have access to the money, they don't have access to banking, especially the on banks. they cannot, it's huge. they cannot move. there will be riots. i to disrupt the elections for ethics bank argue that enough cash has been given to commercial banks

to disburse the citizens. while the allegations of these cars, uh, being hot at my juris autographs agency. the fcc is now going up to bunk operation managers who are hardy, gosh, the city after the sabotage of the government's money, she policy does through. it just brings out another concern which we have seen are old corruption, corrupt practices over the years. and deeper did in the bank banking circle. i'm for me, i feel very terrible to. yep. was sending on renewals according to the governments, the main aim of lemetre caution circulation is to make my jury a cautious economy. encourage more people to embrace internet banking, retrieve swollen money from criminals and cub volts, buying and a full common elections. but these act is true, grinned protest across various segments of the country. the confirmed death toll from monday's earthquakes, inter kia answer ria has no reason to more than 24000 people. and as rescue

operations continue, hopes of finding more survivors are fading. enter kia loan, more than 21000 deaths have been confirmed with another 80000 people injured. the search for survivors continues and rescue team from all across the world are working around the clock. those crews include russian emergency personnel, r t correspondent mohammed kiss up. is on the ground in one bodily affected province. although also known as a whole lot of people on the russian emergency workers continued to provide assistance to the victims. many survivors are engraved condition. we walk through the affected area and so the state of these people little 4 months, such a tragic situation of destroyed infrastructure and houses are ready to collapse at any moment. the russian medical so is providing its services around the cock random a causes could to fill men's it. when the earthquake started,

i was at home lying in bed and the window fell in on me. i was quickly rescued and my mother and relatives were also under the rebel, but they were saved too because my leg is broken. i came here and russian doctors help me. i'm thankful for russia. uncle maria saudi bucklin, missouri, the other. everyone is trying to help in any way they can give me some of the food or the shelter, a lot of people joining forces to overcome the catastrophe. the support and necessary assistance is provided at all levels to people who have survived the biggest disaster in recent decades. for humble over the my boise, 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. you know how jimmy? ha and we came here to the moscow. thank god, help is being provided here. 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 marcia he though your soul was for her, we have been recording, sees that are difficult to describe in woods hot breaking tragedies at the same time. there is always hope that tomorrow will be better and in neighbouring war torn syria, wild rescue efforts continue in devastated areas. western sanctions are said to be making this situation much worse. international help couldn't reach the country and the initial aftermath when of course aid was most needed to save lives. after several days, the u. s. a great to eat some of its sanctions. amid mounting international fisher, russia and our nations were 1st in line to help the middle eastern nation with life saving efforts. ortiz for st. i at reports from serious 2nd largest dina aleppo. assyria continues to receive humanitarian aid from error countries. civil society

is taking active initiatives to alleviate the terrible consequences for those who are affected by the devastating earthquake that struck cities in northern and western syria. the city of aleppo as one of the most affected areas. when we arrived here, we saw the level of destruction. whole families are sleeping in the open air because they have left their crumbling houses. for 10 years we have had a war and i don't, i demand that air of and or other friendly countries appeal to the americans to lift the blockade from us. hello you. so our people are suffering and dying on g to dan fabricate the necessary aid was not delivered to syria the home. so the effect of families have been destroyed or severely damaged. these residents have no shelter. the only shadows at mosques and schools. dozens of victims are lying here in the our ozzy hospital in the city of aleppo. many stories are told about the catastrophe. the claimed, the lives of thousands of people and left deep scars in the hearts of those who escaped them. at 1st, this house was destroyed by terrorists. we restored it and now it has collapsed. i

didn't feel anything. the whole building collapsed. our whole family lived in the same house. 2 sons and daughters survived. god save them. as you have seen, there are many victims with serious injuries in the hospital who needs serious treatment. we faced difficulties because of the lack of resources due to the blockade in a large number of victims. the blockade has greatly affected our capabilities needed to provide medical care. he has no level of them. what time passes, there is less of a chance of finding people alive after their cries for help. from under the rubble have stopped. hundreds of victims or in hospitals, families have been left homeless. people here hope to find their loved ones. all these complete the picture of the catastrophe of the syrian people under the american blockade. but did the walk, the end of the war did not put an end to the suffering of the syrians, but perhaps the consequences of a devastating earthquake are more painful for these people who are still counting

their casualties as hundreds die under the rubble. your lamb name was your home, and as russian rescuers carrier to emergency operations in syria, they're cooperating with local specialists. syrian president bashar elisa has arrived at one of the affected areas in the western city of java. he expressed his gratitude to the russian teams for their health flesh, her friendly country. and their wound wound surprised to see all this kind of support during this crisis course has been fighting terrorism in syria for the last the 8 years now. and so when you support countries support the o support in support, country or people who support them in every aspect of her desert settled problem or anything, the faith her beth dorothy would think what you've done here is great work because in the 1st time period to have a kid is at the, for the do during the last 250 of completed. so we didn't have an a citizen that
