a medicine supplies and sleep with ah, got a few meters away from me. this is where another ukrainian show a emergency workers are still working here. sure. to clear out of the rubble perhaps, to foreign. more victims under artillery fire and r t. crew reports from the scene of the latest shelling of donna city that killed one civilian, leaving at least 3 more wounded. getting caught in the bombardment while filming, and on identified objects spotted over canada is shot down by the u. s. air force. that's a mid tension simmering between washington and china over its weather balloon crossing

u. s. border. over $25000.00 are confirmed dead after catastrophic earthquakes. 3rd, pia and syria. as the death toll continues to rise and both countries struggle to cope with the fallout and a bob shell report by an american award winning journalist uncovered the u. s. involvement in the north stream gas pipelines explosion. using natal drills in the baltic sea to cover their tracks. a good morning from r t international studios in moscow. and welcome to the weekly with the hour and week stop stories from all around the globe. i'm fear ella's about ukrainian forces have shelved the settlement of alexandra near don. yes. enduring at least one person according to local authorities. that's after at least one person was killed

and 3 more were injured in the shelling of donna city itself. one woman was pulled from the rubble of a house that had collapse due to the bombing, a warning to yours. the following footage is distressing. i think the injured 30 year old woman is seen being carried away by emergency workers. her mother was reportedly killed instantly when a u. s. supplied high mars rockets struck their home. while at the scene, our news team came under more ukrainian shelling, while filming residential areas that came under attack. ortiz, roman kosler, have sent us this report. ukrainian nationalists use american maids, multiple launch rocket systems called high mars against civilians. here in the next, once again, as the result, one person work the strikes and senior had the moment bright.

i'm not going to let him 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 a 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 called 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 tactics as a terrorist, meaning that so once they strike one place and when the emergency team, so 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 where another ukrainian shill, non emergency workers are still working 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, your cranium sounds ex,

recently i've been to show 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 showing this place. once again, we're sending out rankoff party. don't ask republic and unidentified flying object which was shot down over northern canada was unmanned. that's according to the latest statement from the canadian prime minister, i ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated canadian airspace north command. shut down the object over the yukon canadian and us aircraft were scrambled, and the u. s. f 20 to successfully fart at the object. the move comes after u. s. military shot down a similar object over alaska. on friday, the new object was tracked by the u. s. north american aerospace command for 24

hours after it had been detected floating over alaska. later on, saturday'd entered canadian air space when prime minister just and trudeau, along with president biden authorized a us fighter jet to target the objects. officials have not yet revealed any details on the origin of the mysterious aerial body. this comes amid washington's accusations of espionage after a chinese weather balloon crossed into u. s. territory last week and was taken down by the country's military. we heard from former pentagon official, michael maloof, who said officials need to provide answers on the spike in incidence over us guys in recent weeks. it's an increasing problem that we're beginning to, to see more and more of all of a sudden having numerous objects flying in particularly over the the north pole. ready area and it's happening very,

very rapidly and they're in and in greater succession. and we'll just see where it's going. but that's, that's one of the major questions right now is, what, what is this all about? this appears to be all very purposeful. we don't know for sure if it's from a country or, or a group, a university commercial, no idea. i trust that both in states and canada will be forthcoming with the results of what they learn. i think the, the by the administration learned a very bitter lesson last week. turkey and syria continue to struggle with the aftermath of devastating earthquakes that had both countries on monday, with the death toll now exceeding $25000.00. the

me we heard from some of those who lost loved ones under the rubble on the very 1st day of the tragedy all shared heartbreaking stories of despair and uncertainty. we should warn you the following video is distressing. oh they have torn my lot, were completely broken. no for the new modem. ah

. a visit with me. a ms. ross was families under there. my sons, my daughter, my son in law, they are still under the rubble. we hear their voices. they're still alive. there's

no way to get them out. there's no machinery, there's ah, i grandson is 18 months, so please help them please. we caught me and them have not got any news from them since the morning, please. there were the. no, we can't reach my family, my grandson ah to the 6th day since the deadly earthquake hover rescuers are still hoping to find any sign of life and sometimes miracles do happen. this footage shows emergency

workers celebrating after finding a man alive. despite being trapped under the rubble for days, as people wait for any news on their loved ones, artes peter scott reports from the ground on how the country is coping with a disaster. or you can see behind me is a residential building that was once 8 stories high and is now been reduced to rubble. as you can see here, there are people that once lived in that building and then now waiting for news of their relatives who in many cases are still stuck under the rubble. i want to wait here because my son, his wife and guests, and 6 of my relatives were in the building when the earthquakes drive. my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. the city may have got off relatively lightly, but thus have little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who are trapped or those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere. while government engineers go

through the daunting process of ensuring the thousands of homes here are safe to live in once again from the outskirts of the city of id i'm on, it was instantly clear that it's been much more bodily affect, said d a back here, which was around 3 hours drive away. now when we were coming in, there was a stream of ambulances, emergency service vehicles coming and going. there were shops carrying heavy excavators to help with the efforts. he. and they're also vans, patches, humanitarian aid, unbalances had in, in to do what they could do. the sites of bereaved families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets of, at a young man. the temperature still drop well below 0 at night. and that provide their own set of challenges to those who don't have a home. many of the people we spoke to here said that help was slow to arrive in the days after the earthquakes hit turkey, as president edward himself admitted that there had been shortcomings. but the relief effort now appears to be gathering pace. as soon as the earthquake struck,

thousands of volunteers flocked to the airport in the stumble, to join the search and rescue efforts in the disaster area. although the him, he stumbled, i'm a lawyer originally from a donna, but now i live in his temples. i came here to rescue people from the class buildings. almost any of us could have found ourselves inside one of these buildings as a long road ahead for the city and others like it. and it's hard to imagine when it's residence will be able to return efforts are now being directed to prevent a 2nd humanitarian disaster. in showing that those who survived the earthquakes don't die from cold and hunger. 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. there are no showers, and only the public toilet facilities in the park itself. close quarters in camps a breeding grounds for disease. the people of turkey and syria can only hope that lessons from this tragedy will be learnt. in neighboring syria, already suffering from over a decade of war. cities have also been devastated by the quakes. the nation's

health ministry has reported more than 1400 deaths and more than 2000 injuries. mostly in the countries north western regions. the city of aleppo near the turkish border was one of the worst affected areas. residents were forced to flee their homes and have been gathering at shelters where they have been provided with the aid. those seeking refuge shared some of their stories. i marvelled him hovels the had for him. we were sleeping in the house when we felt a slight shake, which soon turned into an earthquake. i woke up my children and went out to the string of the situation, then became unbearable. she called the women and children started to cry and scream . i live in the palestinian refugee camp to inhabited houses opposite us collapsed as they had by the handle have been living in our been village for 30 years. we were sleeping when they asked they had the region sick. they quickly got dressed and laughed until our neighbors, where we stayed for 2 days. after that, we came to our boston stadium and i was busy,

even hovels with live. i've been displaced before and i am displeased again because of the natural disaster. thank god, i am safe and may god have mercy on the deceased. we came to seek refuge in the national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance with gina hover years long western sanctions. particularly those of the u. s. have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. most of them were imposed after the country was gripped by civil war. as you can see in this map, major air carriers have been avoiding syrian territory as syria struggles to receive humanitarian aid. washington has sought to blame the delays on the assad government and russia. reality has been up until now at least that how one country primarily has stood in the way of that are the russians have consistently threatened or use their veto when it comes to expanding border

crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case. and we certainly hope that russia and all those who would stand in a way or hearing and see these just heartbreaking images. that's a spite. the fact moscow has provided aid to both turkey and syria. in the aftermath of the humanitarian crisis, fresh and service men are helping clear rubble. all russian, firefighting aircraft has significantly contributed to extinguishing fires. that are rusted in turkey. after the disaster, rush and rescue teams were also quick to distribute medical supplies and other humanitarian aid to affected areas in syria with the countries president. thank you . also for itself is the friendly country. and we weren't surprised to see all the kind of support during this crisis course has been fighting terrorism in syria for the last 80 years now. and so when you support

countries support the support, we support country or people who support them in every aspect of the problem or anything the best do i think we think what you've done here is a great work because it the 1st time to touch it is that during the last 250 is completed. so we didn't have any citizen that the got your, your team where very great and helping our team and saving many, many lives. it took until friday, the 5th day after the earthquake shook the country for washington to announce plans to ease sanctions on syria. amid mounting pressure from states like china and humanitarian organizations, such as the theory and era brought crescent. we heard from local reporter mohammed ali who described how western sanctions affect the lives of syrians. western countries continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now,

but even during the years of for preventive syrians from getting their basic needs . for example, if, if the syrian government wanted to get some medicine and medical supplies for the country, the central bank of syria will not be able to make any transaction as a result of a sanction. this is just one example of what those sanctions have been doing. and affect how they have been affecting the life of the syrian people, the u. s. and western countries in general, do not care about history and people's about the lives of history. and how can you, how can n syrian civilian or individual here, believe that the u. s care is about 3 and people while the us itself and the us. let's listen killed. hundreds of syrians during the christ has been airstrikes on syria destroyed houses, the u. s. looting resources. the u. s. dividing the country by occupying parts in the north and the north east and getting that oil, some of that oil, to the so called through the product forces. former us president donald from said

you said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the syrian government to get that oil. so those statements, and those act by the united states is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation inside syria. all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the company to, to, to stay divided the end of the day. they don't care, they do what they want to do. and even if it's at the expense of syrians live, the media landscape was shaken by a bombshell this week with revelations that nato allegedly destroyed the russian nordstrom to pipelines in september last year. according to the investigation, washington had been planning the blow since late 2021. it's one see 21 that you are so needs are already irritated by the north stream one gas pipeline because they see it as a threat to western dominance. and now north, soon too was nearing completion,

which would double the amount of cheap russian gas flow into germany. something had to be done. and this is how it went down according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning. so joe biden authorizes his national security adviser to create a group, so come up with a plan to get rid of the pipelines. by the end of the year, jake sullivan convenes a meeting of a new task force, men and women from the joint chiefs of staff, the cia and the state and treasury departments. they hold several top secret meetings in the building right next to the white house and during their brainstorming sessions. the navy, for example, propose as using a newly commission submarine, sir sold the pipeline directly. the air force discusses dropping bombs that could be set off remotely. and the cia just argued that whatever was done had to be done covertly the cia director at the time william burns authorized as an agency working

group. so craft applying for a covert operation that would use deep sea divers to trigger an explosion along the pipeline. early 2001 see to the c a working group reports back to sullivan's intro agency group. we have a way to blow up their pipelines. meanwhile, a few slip ups with regard to nordstrom to we continue to have a very strong and clear conversations with our german allies. and i want to be clear with you today. if russia engage ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russia and reach that meas tanks of troops crossing the a border of you, chris again, no, there will be a we there will be no longer on our stream to we. we will bring it into the cobra.

surprise of biden's and newlands in discussions and are wondering what it means for their mission. the c i a's william burns apparently said to it, but how and when? well that's when nor why answers the picture. in march, a few members of the american seam fly there, so meets with a norwegian secret service and navy, the norwegian navy finds the right spot for the explosives and the weights of camouflage them saw the ra suddenly the doesn't spot them. norway apparently also suggests the ideal covered supplant, the mines during the annual nato exercises and the baltic sea which take place in june, june, swine seats. when say to the nato exercises began and the minds are planted. the white house starts having doubts about its genius plant and asks if the mines can be detonated at a later date. so it doesn't look obvious that they did it. the americans in norway now have a new problem. there. have to find

a way to do it. the explosives could be triggered by a sono bully dropped by a plane at short notice. it would have met a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds that would be recognized by the timing device and trigger the explosives on september 26th, 2022, and a which a navy p a surveillance plane makes a seemingly of routine flights. and drops us so on her bowie. a few hours later, the high powered sea for explosives are triggered, and the rest is history. and to africa now were russia's top diplomat visited 3 nations. molly, mario, tanya and sue dawn, strengthening moscow's ties with the countries in the continent was at the top of the agenda. so let's take a closer look at the highlights from the tour with

with both russian sudan consistently come out in the u in, in supportive initiatives and ensuring a democratic world order based on the principles of multiple arity which are enshrined in the un charter. in addition to political dialogue, in addition to foreign economic coordination, there are many tasks in the field of trade, economic investment, and humanitarian cooperation. we came out and support the efforts be made by the sudanese leadership to stabilize the internal political situation. so gay lover of is arguably the most visible foreign diplomat on the african continent for the 2nd time in just 10 days. he was back in africa for another multi nation tore. this time visiting molly mauritania and dead lover of recently made headlines when his

south african counterpart lady bundled, greeted him with open arms in pretoria. while there was little media hype about love, rob's visit to the kingdom of esla teenie, the continent, only monarchy there too. he was met with hugs and smiles and allegedly asked by the country, senior leadership to stay longer as this and the chinese foreign affairs ministers, multi country tor, were taking place. the west was busy trying to counter the messages from beijing and moscow just days after the new chinese foreign policy chief made his 1st stop on the african continent, lending and addis ababa to meet with the african union chair as well as the ethiopian. i minister, the german and the french foreign affairs ministers also visited the country, claiming they were there to help with the peas and reconciliation process.

following into years civil war in ethiopia, there is a growing competition with china, russia, but also other plays such as brazil or turkey. and this is why west is now kind of worried, but it's a competition between the worst twin europeans. the americans caught russia, china, brazil, turkey for she take that sure enough big political oh economy. it's been felt for years, of course. but the ukraine conflict seems to have solidified the sense of us versus them. following years of neglect and half hearted commitment to the continent, the west has woken up to the core reality of strong ties. china and russia have been building on the african continent. when the us treasury secretary janet the ellen visited synagogue and zambia, she took shots at american strategic folks,

claiming that both russia and china bear the partial responsibility for the economic woes of the continent, which is war and weapon, new zation of food, his exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man, president who is creating an unnecessary drag on african economy. but the west is also its own west enemy, in its bid to win over the african continent. as officials continue their diplomatic blitz of various countries here, they also issue attending, contradictory, and at times derogatory messages appoint best exhibited by the use foreign affairs chief. yes, he said lot, and the rest of the world must have the rest of the roll. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardener's

should. they gave it. however, russia has proven itself as alive to the african jungle. having supported many a liberation movement as all across the vast continent, countries, but to free themselves from western cologne. and the visit to more retainer was just another display of the long standing bilateral relations, which started back in 1964 lover of his visit to molly, surprised only a few the military june. we see power following a cool 2 years ago has, from the very get go, lean towards russia as a security partner, rather than to was the former, colonizer from, in st. franc, should have been expelled from the country. with the i q zation, that france not only failed to quell the insurgency in this a hell,

but actually supplied to some of the rebel and extremist groups. the stabilizing mother, love ruled, stopped by food, then a conflict ridden country in the east of the continent, which has been striving for stability and mis political wrangling and a fight on terra cotta tomb. and must go have already agreed to start the discussion on setting up a logistics center all and naval based on the red sea, which was no doubt further who desired tea in washington as well as brussels. for a long time, the west bridge had a quality monopoly in many parts of africa, especially in west africa and saw how and indeed it you would have. over the years, there's been great presence off china and russia nearly all economic and what the west is, where the file is losing their share and the clinic sector. i may say

a political influence that worried and concerned with having less political influence on the country. so we can see, despite the west push for african countries to distance themselves from russia, say gay, lovegrove continues to be met with wide open arms and love. maybe because in the minds of many africans for eternity, we're always trump colonialism. got, i'm going to try to pull out of tea and john is back. that was the weekly with the hour and weeks tops, new stories from all around for more to the minute update, head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble and gab, thanks for tuning in will be about next hour. ah.
