i had my choice, a wonderful and your scope with deal to of issue i ah, lose position will be in forces inside the village over body are to you, follow the russian troops as they advanced in a battle for one of the key ukrainian strongholds outside done yet as jerky and serious struggle with the aftermath of a devastating earthquake humanitarian help is being delivered from all over the world, including from one of the most prices stricken states ah, nothing ruled out. that's the comment of a u. s. air force official on whether the mysterious object shot down in canada

over, and i could see extraterrestrial. ah, good morning for martine, are national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hours most pressing stories from across the globe. i'm fiorella is about breaking news. this our, the u. s. is recruiting islamic state and al qaeda affiliated militants to conduct terror attacks in russia and neighboring states. that's according to russia's intelligence service, which says 60 terrorists with combat experience in the middle east are now being trained at the us base in syria. according to the reports, recruitment is focused on people born in central asia and rushes north caucasus with russian diplomat, state officials, military and security personnel among possible targets will bring you more

information as we get it. ah, air defense systems have intercept data, ukrainian tanika. you missile and mario apple, that's according to russian media, citing the cities commanders office following an explosion reported earlier. as fighting continues, the russian defense ministry published a video of paratroopers in combat on the front line. officials say more than 250 ukranian soldiers were killed in battles near don, yet. russian troops continued to storm a major ukrainian stronghold on the outskirts of the city, r t g or shot off reports. so right now we are entering the small village for sliding just outside of the nets. we have to do it at night because it is simply too dangerous to take this road during the day. in fact, the korean forces are so close already. we can see the flashes of their artillery

firing towards the russian positions. under the cover of darkness we had towards the troops living quarters on the front line, we wake up to a surreal landscape and the epitome to desolation and death. while this is martin car and with the 1st rays of sunshine, the extent of the damage dealt to this little village. while it becomes obvious and it is close to a 100 percent, he can see that all around us so far. we haven't seen a single building that comes to even close as to being intact or more or less intact the fighting continued throughout the night, although it's intense that he did die down did receive a little bit compared to what happens here during the day. while martin k is also a graveyard for nato made machines and vehicles like this, a p. c that was supplied to ukraine by house, trailer size

is unchanging here, feeble building frames, scaffolding and breaks from torn apart houses. lou, this is the forward, most position of the russian forces inside the village of marine car, basically between us. crane enforces, there's only about 3 to 400 me to the soldiers on this particular position. and this machine gun to the left of me is meant to stop any sort of advancement that gradient might attempt both day and night. recently to give you an idea as to how close quarters the fighting. here is the former building of the local library right now. hope you bye bye, both russians and ukrainians. one sections is under the russian control and the other one is under the ukrainian and now both sides have drawn reinforcements to duke it out and see who remains in control of this building. we hear the rule of

2 engines, a few 100 meters away, a russian tank and an infantry fighting vehicle. they open fire at a point blank range or slushy seats till about 2 thirds of the village cave had 8 years to prepare the fences here and wasted no time. aubrey of the density of battles is heavy. ukraine is pulling up reserves and we're grinding them down with artillery. then him he has taken massive losses and a lot of them are refusing to fight. as far as i've heard, there's a crack and national battalion behind them. the enemy is well prepared there, holding fortified positions. ukraine staunch resistance here is not driven by principle by cold military tactics. losing this seemingly anonymous village means that russian forces will flank caves, other frontline garrisons to the north. but there's no doubt among soldiers here

soon. they'll march on hamish down of reporting from the dumbass r t over 31000 people have died in turkey and syria after devastating earthquakes. if the countries un fairs this number could eventually surpass 50000. yeah. can amik repercussions of the earthquake are estimated to be as high as $84000000000.00 inter here. that's as the countries authorities have reportedly targeted dozens of contractors involved in the construction of the many collapse, buildings. criminal investigations have already been launched in some provinces. we heard from those whose lives have been thrown into chaos by the earthquakes. pelham supply to those who have the means are leaving. we are poor. it's true. the government says go lived there a month or 2. how can i leave my home? my fields are here, this is my home. how can i leave it behind,

inch and that good am i lost? my brother, my 2 nieces and nephews, my sister in law. little do you see people are looking for transportation. every one is wandering around our money. our vehicles are all gone, everything has gone a lot of the can, the got all the whole world, let the syrian people down. if this destruction was in europe or a foreign country, the whole world would have gathered to rescue those killed. we are displaced blanca and made the disaster. many countries around the world have sent aid to turkey and syria, including those with their own struggles to deal with arctic. contributor yourself de la lee visits one of the humanitarian centers in eden. if one is sending another batch of humanitarian aid to turkey to assist the quake ravished country during this dire situation, iran roads cross and says, the shipment consists of 55 tons of relief supplies. i don't know if it's been

several days that were on alert in the around read, kristen society, it is commenced by developing camps for the quick kids zone and turkey. what's happening today's that were loading relief items including blankets, tense, medical and hygiene items were doing the loading by the arrangements with ron's army and the slumming republic of iran air force. and all the relief items and relief forces will be dispatched to the quake head zone and turkey from 4 provinces of the country. one has its own economic woes to worry about due to the enormous number of he was sanctions in the country. it was red cross and says, such restrictions will not stop the country from extending a helping hand to both turkey and syria apart from its own economic crisis. iran has itself been hit with a powerful earthquake and as northeastern city of hoyt. however, the red cross and says the scope of its activities knows no boundaries with as you know, sending relief items and humanitarian aid has faced severe difficulties because of

the sanctions on syria. but given our humanitarian duty, we at a ron's ret, kristen society since a 10 member specialized team by ron's relief and risk organization. and to ron's quick response teams to aleppo, syria on the 1st day of the incidence. the organization is also dispatching relief items. it is expected that other countries, whether european or other western take into account the humanitarian aspects more by refraining from sanctions, and instead care more about the injured people and the difficult situation in syria . they should pay more attention to the humanitarian aspects rather than political ones. like iran, lebanon too, has not sat on its hands, despond. scores of its own domestic problems. beirut has played its part in helping syria and turkey, with their relief efforts. this is wildly united nations says some 2000000 people in lebanon are facing food insecurity. not to mention the fact that the country is also targeted by western sanctions. but beirut says it's humanitarian gestures will

not be hampered. and they said, your monkey humanitarian cooperation knows no boundaries and humanitarian affairs can all be shackled wherever drafted the u. s. caesar reg laid down its conditions and its completions, and will lebanon as a government and a political team are fully aware of the files related to the seas erect. but this will not stand in the way of all efforts in syria, no matter what. billers, which has been under sanctions for more than a decade, is one of the major players in humanitarian operations underway. the affected areas, minsk has dispatched an 8 cargo to syria, weighing more than $25.00 tons. but when it comes to relief from the west, it seems that it's all about who is under the rubble in the early days after the deadly tremor the u. s. and it's how i kept mom about the catastrophic situation in syria and how their sanctions blocked vital aid from reaching the affected people there. while the u. s,

as it has only temporarily suspended its crippling sanctions on syria to help the flow of humanitarian aid to which the nation iranian will, if authority, say the worst, his actions are too little, and too late to run at it. there is no time for publicizing the humanitarian situation, and every one must return to help reduce the suffering of those in syria and turkey . use of generally r t. sarah, massive demonstrations, sweep italy as locals take to the street and protest of president zalinski the address at the country's most important music event that sandra mo festival protestors gathered in front of the italian state radio and television headquarters on saturday to protest president the lens is appearance due to the vocal opposition of local residence, the ukrainian president won't appear on screen though his written message could still be read by the event house. the protest comes as pull, shall. most italians are against them, priest weapons deliveries to ukraine,

and further nato involvement in the conflict. italian activists, lorenzo berty, who's the president of vento the last and association that also join in the demonstrations against nato joined me in the studio. welcome. thank you, and thanks for your invitation. i'm so happy to have you here. so tell us why your association decided to participate in these rallies every day. more and more people are natalie. i understand and i are against the decision of the style and government for to strongly support you. carina. and the meek sang shona to russian federation. now, because a, every day people are on the standard, sang shona damage the easily our economy because we have the bigger inflection or we have more and more companies that close though,

we don't have any mora russian to register in italy and we pay a lot more of for energy and the we under, we understand that the, if we give a more and more weight on sir to you kramer, or it's not a way to finish. sure. sooner war, because a dentist, you current president the, the one a p. so he's a just to pop it over united states or that they start and they wanna continue this war. and let me ask you, at least 30 public unions are all. so joining this fight against nato's ard line course and our rooms and against rob policies on ukraine. do you think more organizations are going to join this and does this unity, this in the protest exceed the left right paradigm thereafter?

lot over a c, as shown, an organization now did participate in this demonstration. for example, are some months ago we organizer a bigger protester, demonstration naina melana against her sanction to raj shrine against the weight on so to ukraine, and the more than 1000 people, joiner and the we are made there really for the streets of the center over melana and many people agree with our stuff and then this is, was only the 1st and then was 3 from them. your again, either other than was issue neither italian citizen and the mora. we are organizing for the future. and recent polls show that the majority of italians are against weapons supplies to ukraine, with nearly 69 percent opposing nato interference in the conflict. why do you think ordinary italians are so against this involvement in ukraine and how has this

crisis affected them? yesterday? and majority of italian police shona the want to send their weapons to ukraine, their butter. unfortunately, these new govern amenta followed the preview so govern a mentor, and nothing changes about the flooring policies. and that's why many people who voted for this new government and now we're disappointed her. and her now people are, are understanding that this was no, not start the lee in february of last year. but this warner starting 2014. when there was the court in cuba, and when you crania army attack, republican bus, you mentioned the might on who we heard that you're going to lose guns. can you

tell us more about why you're going and the aim of your trip? yes. and i go, because a we the my organization or are we will make a one italian aid, the 2 for felicia, who leave under the war as i told before, or not a few months about since 8 years. first time i have been in lou, gas green, 2016. and so i saw with my eyes are directly what these are reality realities are, that people are there wanna leave are in friendship with russia and the war because ukrainian born ba, bye city, not russia, despite the sentiments against a nato involvement and sanctions against russia. prime minister, georgia maloney has just come positioned herself as having unwavering support for

ukraine. how big is the divide between what ordinary people in italy want and what the government and the official policies are? and what are the debate? the reasons for such divisions in the country, georgia maloney when she was on the oppositional boulder debtor. we showed her friendship relationship with the rush federation law and so on. then the when you, when she became a president, the completely changed her position. but the, this is a why, unfortunately, you thought italian a, it's like a colony over the united states. and we can't have our, our own a foreign policy said that for law, only our national interest her. but we must follow what united states, sir. the seated for us and the as silvio berlusconi as a former italian prime minister and leader of the 4th. i tally

a party that is part of the country's ruling coalition, says he wouldn't seek a meeting with the ukrainian president if he was still governing. what do you think of his statement? i completely agree with the press ex president bernasconi. no, with this declaration, but unfortunately his party voted the 4th sanction against raj shrine, voted the 4 ha, give away points to ukraine. so it's, and i don't know what the speaker yes, it seems contradicting. and she along with all of this happening, italy was also not invited to a trilateral meeting between the leaders of france, germany and ukraine. what does that tell us about how the allies perceive italy's role to play in this conflict? also, the current prime minister says, any meeting with our italy jeopardizes you unity on ukraine? what do you think about this assessment? i think that her italy, or should fall,

or it's her own foreign policies follow the only how our national interest. unfortunately a lot of time. so we follow not all united states, but also, or book seller and a ruffian, you know, start to mentor. but the interest of a franchise in germany, it's not the same of the interest of italy. what do you think this dinner meeting between franco, german and the lensky will drive the further why edge between rome and paris? i don't know. i think this is a war a, it's a 1st a war with the google to separate the euro from a russian federation. and so i think it's a war that a big in a lot of damages to europe are too old country of europe point to their economies,

especially. well, as you might have heard earlier about a 100000 people signed a petition against any speech by the ukrainian president lensky at the center. i'm a music festival. why do you think the organizers are still so adam met to read it out loud? does it mean that no major culture cultural event is free of politics? and fortunately, no, unfortunately, and now on this piece of for a freedom of speech, for people or whoever is in opinion that is not a line or what the government that imposed the italian population. because as i told you before, the most part of italian people don't want to go in war. we do craner, but want to stay in peace with russia. and now prison zalinski is being seen touring

all over the world and key cultural events in sports events. is this what a leader is supposed to be doing during a war time conflict? of course. no, but he's not the politician rephrase it into he was enact dora and now we're still in a story. pop it silva, united states so well, what do you think is the solution? what should italy's policies towards ukraine? b to find a solution to the conflict. i think that the italy, it should have a position like her akiva now sort position a similar to turkey. her try to finish. should these war as soon as possible? ah, because her, this warning that you know are interested. there is no all support you came in to continue to war, but i find the solution that the team to accounting go for. so russia recently,

lorena tolbert, the president of vento the list, said thank you so much. thank you very much. ah, staying in palace sign is really aircraft have launched a series of air strikes on a legit hamas targets in palestinian territory. history. the army said the bombing was in response to saturdays rocket launch from garza into israel. israel claims that the airstrikes targeted an underground rock at manufacturing complex run by hamas. there were no immediate reports of casualties. the u. s. military has shot down another, unidentified object flying over canada. that's after a series of us attacks on mysterious aerial bodies over the past week. a u. s. air force general has extra terrestrial activity has not been excluded. when journalists asked him about the possible alien origin of the object,

i lead the intel community and the counter intelligence community figure that out. i haven't threw out anything. at this point, we'll continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown. that approaches north america with an attempt to identify it. the object was tracked over night and then shot down by a u. s. chair on jo biden's orders over canadian territory with 2 other similar bodies taken down over alaska and yukon over the weekend. u. s. officials say the objects did not pose any threat but are keeping a close eye on the countries aerospace, in light of a recent incident with the chinese balloon. china also reported a mysterious objects spotted over the yellow sea. we've heard from a former pentagon official, michael maloof, who said officials need to provide answers on the spikes and incidents over us skies 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 and particularly over the, the north pole. ready area and it's happening very, very rapidly and there and, 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 a group, a university commercial, no idea, i trust that both united 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. meanwhile, the bite in administration has added 6 chinese entities to an export blacklist,

claiming that they are linked to china as a military modernization efforts and surveillance activities that threaten the u. s . and its allies that's after chinese official stated that a balloon recently shot down by washington over suspicions that it was used for surveillance was actually a weather research station. the incidence led to a spike, an anti chinese rhetoric, but several companies getting sanctioned over a legit links to the balloon. the matter of chinese nationals acquiring american agricultural land has been a recent point of tension in the u. s. after officials and grand folks voted to strike down a chinese companies, proposed corn mil as its land is located close to the u. s. air force base a home to top secret drone technology. the base in south dakota is to host the latest american strategic b $21.00 bomber, one capable of carrying nuclear weapons artes kayla mop and has more. it would have

been a $700000000.00 investment in the community with over $700.00 jobs directly or indirectly created. the local mayor was all for it, but then the tide shifted. motion carries now mostly. 6 ah now usually when crowds are chanting you as a and america 1st, they want more american jobs. however, there is an exception. that's when those jobs come from a chinese company. fu fang usa already owns the land, but the proposal for breaking ground on a new facility for processing corn was voted down. that's after high ranking members of the u. s. air force got involved. now,

even though they had no real authority to close the facility, the air force members said that it was a threat to national security because it was roughly 12 miles away from an air force base. the department's view is unambiguous. the proposed project presents a significant threat to national security with both near and long term risks of significant impacts to our operations in the area. now the allegation goes that essentially if a company based in china owns a facility were processing agricultural crops, they may turn it into a center for spying. and computer hacking the opponents of the base did not exactly explain how this was going to work, but their logic seemed good enough for the locals. this fits a whole pattern of sino phobia, sweeping across the united states that are all employees are already banned from using the app known as tick tock on federal government devices. and state governments are following suit into. there is

a law proposed preventing chinese citizens from buying any land or even a home for living in. now there are many communities across the united states that are desperate for investment. they want companies to come in and create jobs, increase the tax revenue, get the rust belt rolling again. chinese investment in the united states is not small and it's growing. but it seems pretty clear that there is a section of the u. s. military establishment. that is saying this must stop, much like the weather monitoring device that they label they spy balloon. they are saying that the inflow of chinese companies to america must be popped before it gets any bigger. ok, with martha r. c new york. and that's her up on the hour's top news stories from across the world for more up to the minute. updates head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble and gab from our contact. thanks brittany and we'll see back in the top the hour.
