things i, you know, it's a reasonably good standard. thank you to our guest doctor. so let dreyfus that's all we have for you today. i'm john kerry aku and this has been the whistle blowers . 2 2 with i think 2 meters away from me. this is where another ukrainian shell emergency workers are still working here. trying to clear out of the rubble perhaps to find more victims ukrainian shelling of done yet. city kills one civilian and leaves at least 3 more wounded according to local officials who say you have used us supplied high mars rockets to attack multiple residential areas. also ahead and there is always the hope for waking up,

but i'm afraid that they're still fast asleep so far. this is a conversation between the deaf and the blue. and now the exclusive interview are 2 years from russia's ambassador to the public. lising global condemnation of weaponry supplies, suki of western powers are turning a blind eye to that criticism. around marks that 44th anniversary of it says, la mac resolution memory in the countries. unity with the citizens also sending a message during a rally and to run that the us house fail to contain the will of the nations with live from our international new center in moscow. this is our team, straight to our top story. today, at least one person has been killed on 3 others wounded in ukraine's latest shelling of done yet. city according to local authorities,

multiple residential areas have come under attack. the following is footage of a house in the aftermath of the bombardment. well, he wasn't good with an injured 30 year old woman is seen being carried away by emergency workers. her mother was apparently killed instantly when a u. s. supplied high mars rocket struck their home while at the scene or a news team came under ukrainian shelling, as well, including ortiz, roman crossroads who sent us the report. ukrainian nationalists used american maids multiple launch raucous systems called high mars, against civilians. here in the next. once again, as the result, one person with the strikes continue at the moment. right now going to the blue shield

with we're 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 a rocket system. colds. high mars the house is completely destroyed right now as we're sending here, strikes still continue. that shows. so one thing is that ukrainians are employing

the same tax. it takes as meaning that so once they strike one place and when the emergency seems to 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 purely civilian area right now. behind me that 50 meters away from me. this is where another he crane in 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 shell, the 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 shelling this place once again. we're sending out rankoff party dot nest republic. meanwhile, in russia's border region of belgrade, the governor sees ukraine's military has shell, the ton of ship beckoning, wounding 3 civilians. these are the latest images we have from missing a number of civilian buildings on vehicles were hit in the ukrainian attack with local authority, stating there are no military targets nearby. and in a region further south, zapata was ye official say, a ukrainian artillery attack using american supplied high mars rockets again was repelled, however, some rocket fragments felon residential areas damaging homes and at least one civilian died as a result. now weeping hearing from some ukrainians who fled to poland,

they say a significant portion of the blame for the conflict must go to vladimir zalinski. that was because according to them, he failed to fulfill his own campaign promise to bring an end to the near decade, long violence against on both resident. 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 if you are not required to provide a, refer to the thought 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, but zalinski won the election. it's true, it's legitimate and yourself. course people are tired of all the resource mobilization, but not no, says his own you must have thank you. look at it 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. impeller 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. with ukrainian forces reportedly suffering heavy casualties, as we heard from one of those speakers. key of is compelling. the country's population to join the army on mass. but western powers of largely ignored complaints about the force and mobilization. as president zalinski says, ukrainians are fighting for european values. it comes with scores of videos have emerge showing the ukranian military running up residents seemingly against their will while a political activist from the black sea port city of odessa who wishes to remain anonymous in poland,

say's numerous ukrainians have been jailed for speaking out against thee. zalinski go from so your father was thought to know, go with the little. 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. every one wants peace so that the conflict does not come to them. but unfortunately, other people are making all the decisions. well,

while washington continues to send weapons and money to key, if ukraine's president is still demanding more asking his western allies to not provide fighter jets, it comes as the prominence. peace activists on pink floyd co founder roger waters this week address the u. n. on spoke i to about the increase storm supplies, the key of rushes, un ambassador reflected on the rock legend speech in an exclusive interview with archie, while also speaking in our western powers, remain silent when it comes to moscow. calling for peace talks, the full set done can be watched in full throat the day here on her bare loss and hope for waking up with her. i'm afraid though they're still fast asleep on the shipment. we just had to. we her go. security council briefing, which we requested close to, oh, this week and it's actually this week on the i'm supposed to clean and where does

it lead enormous efforts, money that falls into grain. that the, that i feel the conflict or you know that we invited the roger what to so without briefing them and there were doubts that he could be a brief on that butter which he brought, he could, and quite a, quite ably i would say we, he was not the pro ration when he spoke. he's fort 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 heard what, what's happened that the, at the meeting? indeed. so we're so far, this is a conversation between the deaf and the blind. ah, not big day for iran. it's celebrating the anniversary of its islam revolution, with people marking the concrete 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 to runs as a di, square of one of the hot spots of the 1979 revolution, thousands wave national flags and hell posters denouncing washington's sanctions to say, we heard from r t contributor use of jelly, and by the importance of the anniversary, and what it means to us citizens their 44 years ago. although these queries at 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 resolved that if he known as the shot, had already fled the country. just a few months later, these la mac republic became iran's new ruling system in a nation wide referendum. the flemish 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, hover lucian was driven by anti imperialist sentiment when the public fed up with the u. s. and u. k. pondering the countries 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 shaw. he 979, thinking the unthinkable for washington. as if viewed, mohammed was up on the v as a close ally, and then the best sense of the word, a papa. 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 lines,

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 the worst, resorted so many ways to deal of road with a method is monica mama, i casing point this logistic and financial support for iraq in the 1980 if you want iraq war. today's hostility toward the wrong continues of the formal fashion economic measures. precisely these ones are probably on the global stage use of the early party chevron will, despite what some have call failed. foreign attempts to stop the revolution 4 decades ago around continues to express concerns about outside states meddling in its domestic affairs. last year protests erupted following the death of

a 22 year old woman after she died in police custody. official say she had them existing condition that led to a faithful heart problem that account has been contested by after this. the secretary of a runs national security council says that demonstrations were fewer by western officials in an 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 co operation with eastern trace. the sink 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. okay, some big stories from africa to bring in are the former president of kenya has called for additional troops to be sent to the democratic republic of congo. to aid the government. does it continues its fight against the militant group known as m.

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. well, people in the d r. c, who's suffered from m. 23 attacks gathered this week to protest was the cold, unsuccessful peacekeeping missions. this is the aftermath from a number of days ago when congo least, citizens clashed with a un peacekeepers supply convo in the east of the country. the un body open fire and what they say will self defense, killing 8 civilians and wounding 28 others. amid rising tensions in the country, locals of cold, upon regional forces, should be more active in combating terrorists. well, we spoke with

a kenyan based regional specialist who told us local forces lack the resources to take on the m 23 insurgence. they don't have a section of the democratic republican from somebody within the contract with them because google but i've been having trouble getting better, but it's not an idea of contrition. it's not part of because the 4 separate are being sent to the doctor got into vince on both the public labor to be filling in the convoy so that the only military that i got into the comment took enough for me . it is the global demand for me now that are mostly funding the call that are needed in the manufacture of electronics and other items across the don't want to get these. i mean at all in a clear manner that benefit the people to go. so we have a lot of interested but to hitting each other, pitching warlords, picking them up,

and we've got to get to the middle illegally out of that is primarily the problem if the martinez that use these minerals at the end of the chain can respect with the unity of the kimberly and allow them to benefit from they are good, given the forces and buy them from the government, the government distribute the income in an equally across the country. the enough piece in call for rushes and buster to the democratic republic of congo. spoke with our to about the difficult situation in the country on moscow funds to help. so the linea winners didn't. 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 country's relations with the neighbouring republic of rwanda poise, 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,

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 keyvi, oop 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 in africa's largest economy, nigeria, tensions are rising over. a shortage of cash supplies after the central bank descended to replace the bank notes in circulation with a new issue. a lack of hard currency has become a major point of contention in the nation as a proposed for presidential elections later this month. there's also

a deficit of fuel with long lines seen outside both banks and petrol stations. the central bank decided to change the notes in an effort to come, but country fitting out of control inflation. r t corresponding balloon david takes off the story. the latest challenge nigerians a facing is a lack of cash, barely few weeks. it's general elections. bank, tennessee, i'm automated, teller, machines are out of currency notes that were made up with you can't do anything without money. this has really affected me are gone, where brain, for gods give a good government to help us because we're tired of this. i'm out of the law. my with 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 from my business, so they get support and develop it right now. my businesses in decline. in october, last year, the government announced the redesign of 20501000 barrels. a 100 day window was

given to citizens, to return all old notes or with all the mules in return. what you've seen now is our central bank us achieve somewhere on 85 percent of collection of old notes. i refuse to give them the new notes because it's alleged that the central bank only printed about 15 to 20 percent of what you collected. if people don't have access to their money, they don't have access to banking, especially in your banks. they cannot eat food, they cannot move. there will be riots. i to disrupt the elections for epic spunk argue that enough cash has been given to commercial banks that his best citizens, while the allegations of these cars, uh, being hot, it might just autographs. agency e fcc is now going up to bunk operation managers or hardy hush. the. ringback so after the sabotage of the government's money, she policy just view. it just brings out another concern which we have seen her own

corruption career practices over the years. i'm deep rooted in the bunk banking circle. i'm for me, i feel very terrible to yeah. was sitting on in those i think so. the government's the main aim of let me to the caution circulation is to make my jury a cashless economy. encourage more people to embrace internet banking, retrieve stolen money from criminals and car vaults buying and forthcoming elections. but these act is true, grinned protest across various segments of the country. the confirmed death at toll from monday's earthquakes in turkey and syria has no reason to more than 25000 people. and as rescue operations continue, hopes of finding more survivors are fading. and tortilla alone, more than 21000 debt had been confirmed another 80000 people injured. and of

course, nevertheless, the search for survivors goes on rescue teams indeed from all across the globe are working around the clock. those crews include russian emergency personnel, ortiz, peter, scott, reports, and her locals. there are more than 100 hours after the massive earthquake shook this region. and just as hope was fading, that any one would still be found alive. in the early morning on friday in the back year, a woman on a 10 year old son were rescued alive from his building just behind me. now there believe to be the latest survivors from this such a day in the whole of the country as it's now been directed to present a 2nd. humanitarian disaster is showing that those who survived the earthquakes don't die from cold and hunger. they spend a 5th freezing night huddled together in makes of shelters. turkey, as president, has called it the disaster of the century. this is one of the latest temporary comes to be set up, india by care, containing some of the 623 tenths 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 of 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. do you do them, diana? we are in a very bad situation and a half cancer. there is not a bad to sleep on aid workers at take him bads only for their relatives. they gave us nothing. we have no blanket. now bad. there is, nell can't mad that our children are too young for 4 days. they haven't had a shower. they don't have any clothes with them. oh, fall close. i tell her home, and we are afraid to call a 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 india back is grand mosque. the building can

. syria continues to receive humanitarian aid from arab countries. civil society is taking active initiatives to alleviate the terrible consequences for those who are affected by the devastating earthquake that struck cities and 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, 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 homes of the effective families have been destroyed or severely damaged. these residents have no shelter. the only shadows at mosques and schools status. 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 and the hearts of those who

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 that you lemonade would you? just to point out, russian, rescuers cutting out emergency operations in syria are cooperating. the working with local specialists in those mix shift clinics at syrian president bashar al assad has arrived at one of the affected areas in the western city of javelin. he expressed his brought shoot to a rushing cruise for their help. bless her friendly country and the wound wound surprised to see all these kind of fur support during this crisis course has been fighting terrorism in syria pulled along the 8 years now. and so when you support countries to pull those to put to in support, country or people who support them in every aspect of her desire, settle problem or anything, the faith. but dorothy would think what you've done here is great work because did
