investigation. he concludes nato, led by the us is the old logical stuff. this is a very big poll that was called by the great and was found that landed right over here at the imprints up this residential building. serene officials say at least 5 people were killed and 15, others wounded overnight following. and this really missiles strike on central with the rage against the war machine in washington. dc kicked off, drawing thousands of people to march on the white house, calling for peace talks to stop the billions of dollars in legal aid to ukraine. live pictures right now from washington dc. we'll go to our guest there in the program for more on what's expected from the march with

ah, i'm bringing you the tell stories for the past 7 days and right up to that moment of elements as well. this is the weekly an rti hello and welcome. we begin with a tronic development from russia's belgrade border region where authorities say a 12 year old girl has been killed by ukrainian shelley. it occurred in the village of novia to val jenco. the local governor said the girl had been in the street talking to her father on the phone when 9 shells were fired up the area, middle in don boss, local official, save the city of done yet was targeted with a barrage of 40 ukrainian rockets this sunday leaving one dead and 11 injured the attack sparked a fire at the prosecutor's office in the central district of the city. a library of par student residence and multiple residential buildings were hit or correspondent

eager to adela has more no. on the shelling on the current situation in the region, the city of dynette because once again come under a heavy artillery attack, the ukrainian side has launched about 40 rockets towards the city center. they managed to hit the prosecutor general's office along with a bunch of schools, kindergarten, z a dormitory, and several civilian apartment buildings new york to just keep them still new. that the projectile fell a 100 meters away from us. we miraculously survived the 1st. we had the incoming sound and then they started ahead. he was deafening, and very strong. my friend panicked to be honest, me too, but well, you know, when it arrives so for the was trembled. yes. and then we went out into the corridor and the whole left wing. sure. it was in smoke because the plaster had fallen everywhere. when we went down to the 3rd and the 2nd full to tell people to come down and then went down to the 1st floor, isn't there no casualties? because no one lives here. it's an empty warren m. after the last attack,

there was no one left here who ruled the previous attack happened on december. the 18th. i guess i now see the thing is the frontline lies very, very close to the city with certain districts being mir kilometers away were from where the most of the fighting happens. now the city center which came under the shelling today, it has sort of remind immune from such attacks for a while, just a quick reminder, the city has been shelled relentlessly by the ukrainian side to self the since the civil strife broke out in ukraine. back in 2014, with the attacks intensifying since russia launched a. it's a military campaign in ukraine. now again, the city center for throughout these years it has been immune from these attacks because while the ukrainian side couldn't reach it with the weapons that it had. but since the nato made artillery fell into the hands of ukrainian troops. well, the entire territory of dynette is vulnerable. there are several hotspots all

across the front line. it arguably the biggest hot spot is right now. the city of buck moved or charm of sc. there. it says the domain of rushes, wagner's company, and they are showing some really impressive results there. we've just returned from the village of paris could be of car. it is a small town, but very important. it has changed hands quite recently. and basically, it allows of the russian forces to kind out well to flank the city of buck moved from the north. as another divisions of the wagner company are attempting the same from the south. now the city of our toll mosque is already while it is it, the situation has come close to it being as surrounded there, of course, quite a few settlements and villages and towns that have to change hands and fall into the hands of the wagner group. but they are, well, they are showing results and they are moving forwards. now at the same time i hear

in the la guns republic, the main host spoke, well, it stretches from the town of cream and knives, woods, the town of spots of around the town of grim and night. the russian forces have also managed to show some gains in the forest or in the national park. this is wood used to be before the war and before the mines that have been buried in its soil. and there, the russian, regular army is moving forward slowly, taking over one ukrainian stronghold after the other. and also the russian troops in the past week or so. it has managed to come back and gain a foothold in the hike of region, capturing a couple of villages. just a quick reminder, of course, this happens after rushes retreat from the region last year in the fall. k, i want to tell you about this as well. an irish european parliament minister has lash tied up the institution for its quote, subservient behavior towards the u. s. in light of recent revelations about the

nord stream pipe explosions. a surprise winning reporter seymour hersh. probably the most legendary investigator journalist alive just published a report that presents detail claims that on president biden's orders to us with norway's help blew up the north stream. pipelines. does the yield care? these need to know who did this or do you want to know? her says the u. s. did it because asked him, did you ask him to do it? or are these asked him questions any more? have we become saw? subservient. how do you become so subservient to us empire? i just, i didn't ask him if the dentist yeah. he mentioned seymour hearse and the authors investigation was published earlier this month. breaking down in detail who he sees was behind september attacks on the pipelines, the pure letter award winning journalist report concluded the u. s. use the cover of annual nato naval drills in the baltic sea to plant sea for explosives on the

russian infrastructure, and then destroy it in collusion, norway, the reason being he believes both countries are big energy suppliers, wanted to take over the lucrative market for themselves and cut european economic ties with moscow in the process. the last thing, the white house, look, i'm telling you they're never going to say they're never going to say, i surrender. they're just never going to do it because they can't. so they're going to keep the story going and they'll put the pressure people not to talk. and it won't matter when people talk, look, there are other people. there's a, there's a community in the pipeline business. they know what happened. but they, they're not going to talk because they want to keep on getting contracts. well earlier, my colleague reshay spoke to independent journalist jo lawyer who interviewed seymour, her softer his bomb shall report, was made public and was a tough interview. he's well known to be a difficult man to do interview because he goes off on

a lot of tangents. but they're all very interesting. but he says, but to 0 in on something new about the his article was difficult because he's working on another piece. she's doing a follow up, but seymour was very forthcoming on a lot of areas, but you think hers in a tough position, right. is he going to get threats or has he been getting any threats? do you think? no, he is not in danger because they just ignore everybody's ignoring it. like it didn't happen. whitehouse denied it. no reasons denied. it was a white one, western media white, the western media being so quiet about joe. well, i talked to see more a lot of our interviews about the state of the media right now, and i was subservient use that word again. that corporate report is, are towards government officials. you know, i worked for 25 years in the mainstream media for the wall street journal for the boston globe. i note from the inside. we knew what we were expected of us to on. foreign affairs stories was to publish the official line and don't deviate from that. if you did, you're in trouble. irish m e p. make wallace a. he says the use behavior is subservient in the wake of understanding,

essentially who blew up one of the biggest energy pipelines. do you think subservient is the right word here, joe? oh yes, we already knew this and you were western your backs is a vassal look at germany. he all up shows the chancellor stood next to biden in february of last year, or was it just sometime last year after just before the invasion? and he said if that, if the invasion of your crane occurs, we're going to shut down north stream too. he had a also hit north street one. and he was at how can you do that? if germany controls by said, we don't worry, we can do it, we, we have other official saying similar things. and she said nothing. he stood there, he allow his pipeline to be blown up. they have to know the u. s. did it is not the suspect, but why? why, why do they seem so afraid to say something to, to push back to jo? well, 1st of all, they're still u,

as troops in europe to look at the entire post. more history was only child. the goal, when you stood up to nato and take them out, and france withdrew during the area of the lead up to the rock of a 2003 germany and france joined russia and china to vote against their resolution to authorize the invasion of iraq. those are the only 2 times in 506070 years now, where western european leaders decided to go against united states. look at my crone. he said in a conference that he didn't believe in regime change in, in russia. he didn't believe a huge, always talked about an unsecured architecture in europe, and then he does nothing. so at least he speaks, even shouts made some good noises at the beginning that we have to accommodate rochard abs, security interests. they do nothing to their instincts might be good and they get pulled back. don't ask me that because i don't know what they have on these people . they could destroy them. maybe they're political careers. who knows what else. but the united states has complete dominance in europe. they are hurting the german economy. they're hurting your economy because of the sanctions that have not heard

russia to hurting europe and european just stand there and take it. instead of being independent sovereign block, that could have good relations with russia and united states. this is what we need and this is what we don't get to another of our headline stories to day syrian officials already dealing with the aftermath of last week's deadly earthquake. say, at least 5 people have been killed and 15 others wounded in this really missile strike on damascus. the authorities say a residential apartment building was struck in the center jump in nation's capital . they had most of the incoming missiles were intercepted, but some mr. had a number of points in and around the city. well, this residential building was directly hit with a number of other nearby buildings. damage to it was the 1st major attack on sirius

since the series of quakes earlier this month, devastated northern parts of the country, killing thousands there in neighboring turkey and of damascus based journalists and an official military story. and a statement that what happened was that about $22.00 a m local time. there has, there were the new radio aggression radio here out the right targeting areas in and around the syrian capital la, damascus. soc happened from the direction of the occupied, the syrian golden and now the result of the attack as these 5 people were killed, one of them is military personnel and 15 others injured. now, of course, most of those are civilians. i mean, you can see just behind me, there was a rental, a building in an area called jefferson in the heart of the capital, damascus. and this is a very big hole that was caused by the israeli macau that planted right over here

at the instance of this residential building. now, despite the fact that this quarter, yes, includes a government establishment like the ministry of interior, the prime minister's office. yes. this area in particular is only areas that i'm from one where i am standing at the people woke up hearing the course. they didn't know 1st. is it an earthquake? is it a terrorist attack? they didn't actually realize it well to a m, what was actually happening. windows growth. most of the, of those residential building collapse towards the building close to the area. there is an iranian cultural center, but it has not been damaged or affected nor pack directly by the question. behind me is completely a residential area. and this is why we have to wait and see if there will be any detail from you, from the radio side to tell the world why they attack this sign up.

let's think that these really fine, always use pretext of attacking iranian targets. in theory. yes. and a bit to try to justify in front of the international community. it's a violation of sovereignty and attacked, the civilians and military personnel in theory yet. but at the end of the day when we go to areas hit every time, it's either it's theory, an army post or it's a civilian area. it's not a secret that yes, there are radian military advisors assisting the theory, an army and the war on terror. this is at the request of the syrian government army . it's not a secret, it's a legitimate right for the 3, and 5 to ask for helps from its allies. but what is illegal? what is against international law? what is against the sovereignty is a talking. it's conference said a talking a country that has just come out from a massive earthquake. people are suffering already and they're suffering well, israel has yet to comment on the situation. the syrian foreign minister,

a house, call the aggression a crime against humanity. while moscow has also condemned the is really are a strikes labeling them on accepted work, particularly as other countries are actively helping damascus cope with the consequences of the recent natural disaster. early last, the attack with serene politician to reach our commit. these lay sir garcia in the middle of damascus. it just an civilian, a building, all the people it's, it's, as i told you, it's in middle of the mass goes, all the people are going through this places. it's just the civilian people at which they act yesterday. it was really a shock in the middle of the that night yesterday, syria, which she is suffering under, asked quicker until now. and the, all the countries, the, i'm going to, to headed the syrian victims, se, then people my analysis about why is that i had, we were since the beginning of the equity in syria and turkey.

we saw that. is that a good stop attacking girl? syria, we, we were thinking that it, it, they should stop really because in many countries they are going to help syrian people thought to send it through the airport of syria. many airplanes, many aid to syria. these at that. gov is that a that means that they are looking at the f quick also as an f political issue and not too many 3rd an issue. and this is amy and advanced, advanced with the hand of the syrian people to him. people they are looking at that this day. it was some country where they didn't send. and now is there an m and a suddenly in the middle of the night, they are attacking at the head of damascus and they are attacking their civilians.

this is a 20 years of debt or war against syria. it's a lot of damage. a whole building was damaged, and many people were killed tool and national host. because while where many people they came to this sir hospital, beijing has taken aim at their biden. a ministration saying the u. s. government is trying to use china as a scapegoat for domestic blunders. the asian diction say's washington stirred up on warranted history. it's running the non green. i'm chinese balloon. in order to defect public attention from a recent environmental disaster in ohio, visual them kind. yeah. how is it that the u. s. can see balloons flying at an altitude of 800000 meters, but it ignores a vinyl chloride mushroom cloud over ohio question about dr. while american forces shopped on the object after a crossed into us earth space alleging it was a spy cross patient, give

a more mundane explanation stating of a simply a, whether measuring instrument that blew off course later, several other all identified flying objects were spotted over us skies and were destroyed by heat seeking sidewinder missiles. by the way, president biden's subsequent, they admitted that was balloons were most likely tied to private companies studying the weather with an american hobby group. also saying, one of their tracking balloons had gone missing. at the same time, the us or force intervened went up. so we made headlines, as even though over many days stateside on globally, just as a train derailment in eastern ohio caused a huge release of toxic chemicals into the earth. super officials then set the remaining chemicals up the side on fire and what they described as a controlled burden to prevent further contamination about sent a plume of thick black smoke into the sky. some time later, the states governor said it was safe for residence to return to their homes. but local sphere, they're not being exposed to the truth. here i

thought i was getting any answers. then i got hopeful that i was going to get it. but i feel like it was just a big run around. like i feel like a lot of the questions that were asked for people's rantings and just speaking in circles, the answers that were given were things that we've already been told. we all just want answers. i think that's what everybody here wants to just answers. i honestly feel that the policy in the police department, the fire department, all the 1st responders, they don't have the answers to give us because i don't think they know they're not getting the straight answers either. the government, tumbling of the disaster in ohio spirit, a slew of internet means as well, with some critics mocking authorities for intentionally setting that toxic chemicals a place there is marked joe biden, himself playing off the u. f. o rhetoric. i'm suggesting. he could have ducted by

aliens. we heard from asian, their 1st specialist, nelson wong. he said, countries need to handle their own problems, not create distractions. if that was the case, to divert the public's attention, it is getting a hysterical in a sentence by making such a big muscle, the balloon incident on the international arena. what we see is that the u. s. government is making full use of this balloon incident to distract people, you know, by calling this balloon which is actually a whether analysis or for whether study or web analysis. they are calling it a chinese bible or doing surveillance, which is really quite ridiculous. the government's will have to, to stand up and deal with the problems they are facing instead of calling all other

countries you know, to, to cover it up. ah, not an annual summit of the african union countries has wrapped up in ethiopia, and the focus was on boosting economic. get your ration on the continent. however, there was a notable absence of 3 western nation nation and western african nations. excuse me, of course. burkina faso, guinea and molly they were suspended from. busy they block due to government cruise in recent years. all 3 have since launched bids to rejoin a local reporter since this from this up above. it is a major meeting off mind designed to pull the continent on the fast, the threat to stability and prosperity. this 30 seats are being re haitian, of the african, the union assembly have for all to get their head all to see it in the government. official from members can 3 to be sub, a blah in the up need to speak. a commission chairperson was

a fact mohammed said that infrastructure energy and the digitalization of economy will i love raging potential prime minister abbey, but also abreast on the conference telling about each of them on the principle of african salvation to african problems. while the physical african solutions love to come problems is widely raised in the scope of conflict. it is imperative that we begin to extend this principle to, to a wide range of peace and security issue, continental for security and for so vanity is one such issue. out continent is not only will able to fit itself, but can become a bit bucket of the wallet. you're in secretary janet island pony terrace. paul. the death in believe that africa has their wells off. not for our resorts, but have not yet been able to use them properly. speaking off the regions,

party show the african continent free thread agreement. it was the largest free thread area and to bring together the $55.00 countries of the african union and a regional economy communities after the blonde is to boost into africa thread by 60 person by 2034 by eliminating almost all tardy and a crating economy. blog post $1300000000.00 people with a combined gross domestic product of $3.00, part $3000000.00. i've got is important because we need and, and then to great said the community to solve the program of god. so the importance of scott is to think i'll click on the countries together to share i just and $26.00 the way to develop the country if new

initiative, new projects and does with the. busy green african country country thread all about 50 percent off goods and the service with each of their compared to more than 65 percent with european countries. and you want the bank is steady state eve. the agreement is expanded on the plan. it will balance policies of investment, competition, e commerce and intellectual property rights. deeper integration indeed would help build a pat and efficient market improve competitiveness and attract the more data for the investment by reducing the risk off shifting regulation and the policies. the scenario could. frank income gave off 9 person by 335 and red deals. the number of people are paid for by extreme poverty, basra, mom that our i be a sub i bought in sub gathered for an anti war rally in

washington. d. c. live pictures by the way from the city here. they are protesting the us government's foreign interventions. and other big issues that range against the war machine raleigh is seeking peace talks between russia and ukraine on an end to us funding and military aid for organized by the libertarian on people's parties . the demonstration is set to be the largest anti war rally in the u. s. since the invasion of iraq in 2003 speakers from across the political spectrum will address the price on the day, including former senator rental, ex presidential nominee soci gilbert on broadcaster jimmy tor. when indeed, let's cross to the capital city and speak to the host of our team. new show the whistle blowers, john curry alco. john, thanks for talking to us. before we get into the specifics there, give us a sense of the, the feeling on the ground, the atmosphere. what's it like there are no, oh,

i have to say the crowd is much bigger than i think any of us expected it to be. there's a, there's an electricity in the air. it's not just because of the quality of the speakers and the quality speakers has been very high. but there's music and it's myriad different groups. it's not just a group from the left or several groups from the left to the left. so right and the center. several different political parties and everybody here for the same reason, then to promote peace around the world. yeah. people who normally wouldn't be on the scene together at this stage together that they are coming to speak for, for that reason, aren't they? they won't pay stalks. they also want us funding a military, a to key have to be staff those billions of dollars in the leaf l a. that is a big issue and they want to bring it to more of a mainstream audience. i guess you're absolutely right. one of the early speakers with dr gil signed, he's

a medical doctor who was the green party nominee for president and 2016. and she made a point that 70000 people, including 22000 children, die in the united states every year because they simply don't have access to medical care. the reason they don't have access to medical care is because the us spend so much money on the so called defense budget. it's not a defense budget, isn't often budget. 3rd, if you can imagine this 3rd of discretion, we'll spend it goes to the military in the united states, while our roads and bridges are falling apart and poor people just simply don't have access to medical care. and the speakers are also challenging the purpose of nature. i believe. yes, yes, they are. are one of the questions that's been asked repeatedly by speaker after speaker after speaker is why is there even a needle? why does nato exist?

once upon a time, nato existed to protect the united states in western europe from the soviet union. the soviet threat is united states no longer exists. so why is there a nato? is it to fight in afghanistan or iraq? because that's what's happened over the last 20 years. and why does it keep moving eastward, closer and closer and closer to russia. despite promises repeated promises by the united states and other nato countries that such expansion wouldn't happen. so yes, a lot of the speakers here are, are saying not only that nato should not be involved in supplying weapons and material and money to you pray. but that nato should exist in the 1st place. john much appreciate you, given us a sense of what's happening there on the guy will be watching throughout the day. we've been speaking to host of the whistleblowers, john kerry. i could john many times. thank you. not africa needs to be

made more aware of quotes. russia's imperialistic attitude that's according to the use foreign policy chief. i travel around the world and particularly in the countries of the south. i see how powerful is the russian narrative that wants to reduce the war in ukraine to a conflict between the west and russia is powerful, accusing us of double standard. we must debunk this narrative and explain how rush acts as an imperialist power. president micron referred to a neo colonial power. yes, it is what it is. let's call it by its name. it is an imperial attitude from a powerful neighbour that wants to take control of some country that belongs to its political sphere. while of who i bryce for a race of thought, perhaps to have my next guest independent journalist luc revelez. good to speak to today. what do you make of mister burrell statement there? indeed, what can we read into it above a current western other trip to africa? perhaps as well well mister beryl often says the truth.
