but here we are, in this edition of the program, we reflect on the last 12 months. how has the conflict changed? russia, ukraine, the west, and indeed the world with yet more misery for turkey. yes. to powerful earthquakes. rock this side of the country on monday, with authorities reporting a number of fatalities. it comes just 2 weeks after one of the deadliest quakes and the nation's history claimed more than $40000.00 lives with israel, a 7th week of protest against new judicial system reforms which aim to parliament power to override the supreme court with andrew by makes a surprise visit to kiev and meets with president zelinski. the trip becomes exactly 9 years after the deadliest day. and then my don cood protest, which was lost over by the us

with across the globe around the clock. this is our team from the team and myself, you know neil hello and welcome to the news our another 2 earthquakes half hit turkey, yet the larger being 6.4 in magnitude. both of monday's events were once again centered on the southern province of hut. fatalities have been confirmed by the country's interior ministry, as well as hundreds of injured people. local authorities are also reporting people being buried under rubble, with rescue teams heading to the worst effected sites. the verified footage spreading a line is said to show moments shortly after the latest tremors hit with one car

come rural. so look at this, capturing the exact moment with the lights going on. just that were 2 weeks ago, a series of massive quakes in the same region left more than 40000 people did in turkey. i'm thousands again more in the neighboring syria. today's offense, we're also felt in northern siri as well as. busy on cyprus, on israel, and meanwhile, this video was taken out an airport in a province with people screaming and running and panic as the terminal was jolted. as you can imagine, sheer panic there by the latest tremors also reports by the way of a number of flights having been councils where we got a 1st time to kind of the situation from a local residence. living in the region located several 100 club bridge away from her safe, but who also felt that way? the worst part we cannot bag, sure. in our routine life. really the big bag before which we had to get

through. it has been 2 weeks. we were trying to get back to our roots in life, but we checked again. we had to earth. greg again, you know, here is now closing the cables because you know, what is the worst thing in the world? maybe in my opinion, a think we should. you don't know what to do. you feel desperate. you don't. you don't do faith at your own house. now we again left the houses. now you're in a cafe, which is one florida. and we are now. you are. it's i think the campus just about 100 people, but i think at least there are 200 people would who don't know what to do now when the people and the small, you know, once somebody hit your like table when it's taking like it's been again yeah, the uncertainty you could just hear there some images we've received from syria

here to people fearful of further destruction have been leaving their homes and apparently attempting to travel. just get away further side most probably away from the earthquakes epicenter across the border reports. they grind shakes, been felt by inhabitants in a number of syrian regions. well, a geology professor. it is them both technical university explain that the reason is still suffering. the aftershocks from the previous most of quakes will do for some time to come. the crisis is not over yet because these are massive crates dead, braga, like 500 kilometers long sections of the off the, of the fault in toggle and affecting increasing stress on need my false job on the outside, but the other falls to the law. so the north east and north west. so other

earthquakes of similar size may also happen at any time around this, this, this, this region for how long it takes, never know it, it will take for 4 months. i assume because of the size of the whole area being, you know, are shaking it very strongly and there are low falls here like broken glass. you see there are so many different falls struck in different directions. so. busy i guess why there are so many number of aftershocks with large size. i mean the number of shocks. nice. like over 4000. it's incredible. can moving to another headline story today, u. s. president joe, by now is made a surprise visit to key of where he met with the ukranian leader nearly a year after the started the conflict after

a photo op. the u. s. president sat on and reaffirmed washington's unwavering support to ukraine and pledge this and even more money and weapons. the new package, in fact, is worth half a $1000000000.00 on will include high mars, i munition anti tank systems i'm radar system. well, joe biden says it comes as ukraine marks 9 years since the deadliest day of the my don qu protests in kiev. dozens were killed, and more than a 150 people wounded. the subsequent overthrow of the elected government is seen as a precursor to the conflict. the scenes were witnessing today. our teeth marina cost rover has a thorough recap more. this is how it was portrayed in mainstream media, unarmed, protested, done, done in the streets by the right police who were retreating from kiff, smythe, and square. i tied to his lines of security forces

a short distance away. standing beyond the range of rocks and bottles. testers have home me shields and numbers. the police have water cannon and stung grenades, but this is what it looked like in reality. ah. at the 3 months of confrontation on key of main square, the situation reached the boyland points, and the 20th of february, 2014, became the bloodiest they of them. i don lee been 49 dead and a 157 people wounded. this was the turning point. the protest could have died down, but they didn't, they got more violence. and the claim was that the violence was coming from the governments. a great way to force the cranes president, to succumb to protesters, demands 9 years on. and there are still no proof that government forces were

shooting at protesters only evidence to the contrary. the sniper's firing were from buildings controlled by pro european protesters and based on forensic evidence, many of those who were killed and wounded were shot in the back or from significant vertical angles. whereas the police were right in front of them, or on the same level at least earlier, the top to bottom direction of his wounds. his position in the video and findings from forensic medical examination about the location of entry, wounds in his right side and back, indicate gunshots from that hotel and not from the bare crude ukrainian special forces in front of him. several other eye witness including other my don protesters, a medic, and a german journalist also said he was killed by a sniper from the hotel ukraine. in particular from the 7th floor. there is more, the bullets came from hunting rifles. well guess what?

government forces didn't use hunting rifles, but you know, who did. that's right. the protesters, something that was even documented on mainstream media conservancy built several 100 meters away. who's firmly in the hands of the protest direction. just after 8 o'clock that morning, a news photographer had managed to get into the building with a camera. when i come inside, i was saw the guys one come after me. all the jobs were hunter gun hunting rush. not exactly a clear picture, is it incredible, considering it's been 9 years, but what's more, incredible is the evidence that has magically disappeared. we must realize that the way the investigation was conducted unfortunately, did not give society answers to key questions. we have huge questions about the quality of the investigation. some materials simply disappeared, while in other points the investigation was sabotaged. this is the man who was

adamant that the government controlled the slippers and not my don leaders like himself. so where is the proof? no words to be found. apparently the shields at the helmets of those who were killed and injured. where are they gone? extract the bullets. this appeared recordings of live streams, cctv from hotel krajina, a raised. isn't that weird? even e u official started wondering what was going on as we later found out from this leak phone call. it's really disturbing that know that, you know, coalition that they don't want to investigate what to expect to happen. so that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers they were, it was not which but it's a somebody from the new coalition and it's already discredit dates from very beginning. goes to this new college. yeah. it's really the serving bob let's can say new support them anyway. after all the was submarine, agen them on for so long. victoria newland flew in 3 times and was literally

feeding pro european protesters. you or senator john mccain joined the party, encourage and protesters to keep going, agreeing with them, but their future is in europe no matter what their democratically elected president want or has decided to do to people the mother. they know that the united states stands with you in years search or justin or human because curity or he can make health and for the european future that you have chosen to serve the people. this is your moment. this is about, you know, want no one else really. then why was the,

was truly in ukraine's business discussing and planning who should run. once we've all heard the leaks conversations where the west insisted on our new yet a new to become ukraine's new leader. and sure enough, there guy was installed and traveled to washington right away. so the crowds in the key of and the folks in washington got what they wanted. a pro western governments would know twice to russia, a scary prospect for those ukrainians who aligned with russia linguistically, historically, and culturally so they took to the streets, often meets in a brutal consequence. like the massacre in odessa. we're almost 50 of them were track in the building that was such a blaze. burning them alive. this of course cemented clearly. the hatred between the 2 sides realized that keith had decided to our fate without asking us. they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union

and russia, the things that were going on and key disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that. crimea detached insurance, russia, the civil war and on boss started and need so began arming the key of regime with civilians terrorized for years. now let's take a moment to remember john mccain's words and key. if once again you are sure you want for your country. this is the future uses this or what is this what he had in mind? surely the wife didn't expect rossa to allow a puppet regime to terrorize the civilians and arm up along its borders with hopes and dreams of being part of nato. every action has a reaction, and that was actions point to the fact that my dawn was a gateway. so a war was russia. i turning attention now to the middle east and

israel, where protests against new judicial reforms have entered their 7th week. this is jerusalem seen a little earlier where the situation was said to be peaceful, but hence, protesters have filled the streets, chanting slogans, and waving flags. but some banners even calling the p. m. benjamin netanyahu the crime minister as the is really parliament prefers to overhaul they. do digital system, the proposed reforms, even drawn the statement of concern from allies the united states? well, let's go through what so contentious, the sweeping reforms aim to give parliament the power to override the states supreme court with a simple majority. another proposal would take away the court's right to review the legality of israel's basic laws. the politicians would also be given the power to appoint judges to the court, but we heard some opposing views on the issue. israel. he's

a parliamentary democracy and we don't have a constituent, a constitution. israel try to operate one but fail. so he said ok, and then we'll have basic laws. israel has now some was the constitution, which means that a supreme court can also cancel laws. this is the perimeter for debate. and now the question is, if the parliament wants to legislate, the log in the supreme court says that they cannot who who wins at the end of the day. the main issue, the legal reform is a democratic question. that is, who has the final word is it's the people 3rd, their elected representatives or is it the supreme court who is nominated by a committee that basically is run over by supreme court judges. they don't read what the nation once they do, what they think only what is good for them, not what is good for the nation,

for the country, for the people who leave here for the democracy. they want all the power to themselves. and that is, instead of the microsoft, it's gonna be a big filtering. it's ready to go even to us. and i don't think the, any government should go and change their basic laws. this israel was born and built on from the beginning on 40 inch the white house has drawn condemnation from european partners. now after announcing measures to support its green technology industry. leaders in europe claim washington is asking them to follow a protectionist policy that only benefits the u. s. are most important. trading partner decides things in their own interest. they keep doing this. they want us to

support them on china. the way to achieve our common climate though is not through more by american but through joint action and common standards. while the latest package in america's new infrastructure, bailey includes support for investment, some the promotion of domestic production on the figures. well, they've got a lot of zeros after them, as you can see here is 7 and a half $1000000000.00 for an electric vehicle. charging $10000000.00 in clean transportation projects on more than $7000000.00 to develop electric car, battery components, critical minerals, raw materials, european officials say additional tax breaks will disadvantage companies from europe. and in fact, may lower them stateside losing all their capability, their cash, german economist, i q hummer, believes the u. s. wants to make europe compliant under its roots. now, the europeans wondering let it benefits us and them. so nearly everything that

comes from the u. s. against the people in europe, it's against the economy in europe because america now wants to psycho europe for its own benefit. and they want to make sure that germany, especially, but europe economy is under the thumb of the us and they cannot survive on their own. so the europeans are now, or some, or europeans are now recognizing that this is the case and that they did really bad behavior against the european economies. you don't do this because of the environment you do this because of he cannot make dependence is this is the war of the us against europe, against germany, especially according to say, my hearse. the us who are behind the blow up of the na stream to pipeline to make it exclusively that only the u. s. and norway can deliver gas. us is getting rid of a competitor with the help of their puppets in the european commission.

chinese in has described us quote, a blatant interference in a sovereign nations. first, an address made to protesters by a senior in you official who has now been expelled from the north african country. your side, the european trade union chief, attempted to defend her actions. internationalism and solidarity are at the core of the labor movement. so it's entirely normal that a trade union leader from europe should go and stand with workers in tunisia, the message of solidarity, social justice, and dialogue i gave the demonstration is no different to the one i have given to workers in france and the u. k. this month, while the feud is caused by a precedent who feels that the unions have a rather a powerful position, a vested interest in as government. and is trying to very much kids hail,

how much power they can wield the united workers of, of tunisia under the umbrella, the u g t t that tunisia are united general union movement have really caused some headaches for president kase say eve. and they have organized a lot of strikes and laura protests against the, the, the high cost of living. and as well as the lack of reforms in his government. and they've gone as far as to say that he is trying to climb down on union rates and union power on saturday on one of the biggest these of the strikes the of the protest rather than was being held they miss lynch spoke to, to the thousands of people that were there who also held a breed as a sign of protest against the higher cost of living. and she told them that the 45000000 workers of europe, than she represents through how confederation stand with those workers. and that

there is a sense of solidarity and internationalism within the unionist movement. and that speech really rolled up, mr. said she was the go to the thing that this isn't that the mr. phase government has consistently a tag the unions and they're in a tag on the union is an a tag on people's voice. let's hear a little bit more from the government side as to what they found offensive about her speech on saturday. by order of the president of the republic, the tunisian authorities called on as to lynch who participated in a march organized by the g mizzi and general labor union. made statements that blatantly interfered with june is in internal affairs to leave to nicea within 24 hours of notifying her that she is persona non grata, esa, as the least ged sex fell them back to,

to europe. and we understand that she landed in brussels today. this is a fine and this is a messy that's been sent to to nicea that as thinning up to the government will be high down from now on. if senior officials within the legal union movement are being arrested, it will, unless we forget, president outside is a man who only a year and a half ago, you know, really chased out most of the government workers. and i seized power. he now is claimed to have more power than the parliament in that country. where's your money turkey, or is seeking a refund from the u. s. states department for what it's spent on the f. 35 fighter jet program. and crew found itself frozen out of the project for buying weapons systems from russia. casa up through marcia, we really should. here we were partners in the f 35 program, but turkey was excluded due to american sanctions. it was a unilateral decision. there is

a figure of $1400000000.00 that we've spent without waiting for a refund of that money paid some background to this, the multi nation f $35.00 joint strike fighter program originally saw to establish a common platform for us allies in europe, asian the middle east, with a plan to acquire more than $100.00 of the jets. however, turkey, which was among the members, was expelled from the program following its purchase of the russian made s 400 or defense system. professor of international law and relations. as it, he sheen from ethan balls yet a tepid university said it's illegal for washington to hold onto on chris money. bell danced the c 3 by 400 in russia resize. and they dismissed the hour before graham. and even though we pay $1400000000.00, or it can say no money, no cosmetic, i hope this is our local that according to international law, mr. add on say,

we have other options such as the he visited the russia and we may no rush him come with a crowd, even those who 35 or in other models. this is out on the table. now we're waiting. what will happen? why? because of us from i to us. so given the f 16 come with your graph and the on the hand very, the end of their argument have if you want to buy the f 16, you have to supply and the thing them and the l. so the also see that the membership in echo and what is the best thing in my idea? the 4 didn't after the 1st, they want to understand the 30 last people 50000. we suffer from humanitarian point of view of the things i didn't hear at the off the character, not in our agenda. africa is crucial for the future of europe and cannot be left in china's hands. was there other parrots message coming from

italy's foreign minister? the music security conference in a discussion regarding the need for a stronger european presence on the continent. unity is crucial if we want to pay the wave for a stronger to europe. among nato ed in europe, a more presence in africa. look at africa to look at africa is crucial for the future. to leave africa in chinese and is a big mistake for everybody here. africa chose china as its largest trading partner in foreign direct investor. why is europe trying to drag africa into its fat with china as well? they sound upset that the girl thereafter doesn't want to eat at their table in a school cafeteria. maybe she just likes to hang with different groups of people.

okay. and what about american bases in 5 african countries? does the italian foreign minister mind that uncle sam's hands are all over africa, or is that no problem? because that's his body. how many times have we heard the west concern trolling africa as in lookout? don't let china just because it's a deck trop. turns out that africa owes 3 times more debt to western private lenders than it does to china. that's according to world bank data. and someone else was back on the scene. evoking is neil colonialists fantasies regarding africa again. chief, you diplomat, yoseph burrell. i travel around the world and particularly in the countries of the south, i see how powerful as the russian narrative that wants to reduce the born 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. big headline in the western press out of munich, screamed quote, western please over ukraine failed to sway global south. maybe the west is not as attractive as they seem to think they are, or maybe they don't understand the mindset of those they're looking to seduce. here's the u. gadsden and namibian foreign ministers with some tips for the west on why their charm offensive isn't working. we were colonized and forgave those who colonized us. now, the colonizers are asking us to be enemies of russia, who never colonized us. is that fair? not for us. their enemies are their enemies. our friends are our friends. the bottom line is that money used to buy weapons would be better used to promote

development in ukraine, in africa, and asia in the you itself, where many people are facing hardships. pretty sure that none of the self help books on making yourself attractive to others. say to tell them not to watch certain networks like r t to monitor or control who they hang out with, like russia and china, and to treat them like they don't really know how to handle their own affairs. so maybe the west should try getting some perspective o way from their bodies. all these group think driven safe spaces like the munich security conference. okay, something else to tell you by today, more than 30 iranian nationals have been targeted in a new round of sanctions imposed by the group in union which includes travel, bonds and asset freezes over alleged human rights violations among those sanctioned are the ministers of culture and education, who are accused of persecuting people,

engaged in anti government fetus. the new restrictions come in addition to it, i'm already existing you found on the export of equipment you to run. that could be used for what brussels calls, internal repression on the monitoring of telecommunications. the e, you said that sanctions are a necessary response to what it uses to rounds violent cracked on, on peaceful protests following the death in police custody of a young woman last year. lease officials incidentally say the woman was already suffering from an existing heart issue. the launch all the ears, new civilian mission in armenia has been slain by moscow. the foreign ministry spokeswoman has described in us nothing but an attempt to weaken russia's rule in the region by emphasizing the exclusively civilian nature of the new mission. representatives of the european union are lying that is revealed with in the definition of the use common security and defense policy. unfortunately, this is not the 1st time we've recorded the desire of the european union and the

west as a whole, to gain a foothold in our ally armenia by any means. we see in these attempts and exclusively geopolitical background, far from the interests of real normalization of relations in the caucasus. everything is being done to squeeze russia out of the region and weaken its historical role as the main guarantor of security. as we just heard, maria's or her of, of the 1st thing she said was that european officials are lying when they say that this new e u mission to the region is of an exclusively civilian nature. that's because that this admissions deployment actually serves the interests of the european union's common security and defense policy. according to the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's or her of all. so said that this is not the 1st time we've seen the west and the european union tried to advance its geopolitical goals in our mania and the wider caucuses region. which historic.
