led invasion of iraq reaches the 20 year anniversary. we look at how the american architects of the war spread their neoconservative policies around the globe. and nigeria is tormented by doubts of foreign influence from former colonial powers ahead of the upcoming elections. as the country continues to battle multiple crises . with good morning from martine or national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hours most vital stories worldwide. i'm fiorella, as well as the fighting rages, honor crossed on bass, were bringing you exclusive firsthand accounts of some of those who've been caught in the crossfire. the civilians were safely evacuated from the embattled city of ordeal, most widely known as bach moved to a temporary refugee camp in the don. yes,

republic launch insertion. it was very scary when all the shells were flying. everything was exploding. nobody knew where the shots were coming from. starting january 10th, my younger brother and i could not leave the house because of the constant bombardment were for the window of throne for these. and if we were in the 2nd entrance to the building, the nazis were in the next one. they told us to write our initials on our hands with the red marker because they were going to barriers that was needed for the work mrs. we had been sitting in the basement for over 3 months. ever since the shelling began. russia greg, that votes and shelves are constantly flying through our yard and garden, the ukrainians, dagger trench right in front of our house. there were 3 or 4 such structure. snar street turned out that was the frontline, hundreds of displaced persons have already passed through this temporary refugee sensor and an escrow republic. they come from different places from besieged, are to almost scan from other freed areas in the nest republic as well,

like her solids. are the refugee said by the russian army in that a charm of have all different stories by the have. one thing in common is that they all lost their houses that were destroyed by the ukrainian military. we have shells in our garden, one is buried, shrapnel is all over the yard. neighboring houses have been down. once you at step out of the house, the shelling would begin. sometimes i was not even able to sleep. the dog was at the go with us up to the 3rd floor. we were, our whole house was littered with shells. there were boxes of weapons around the house. i was afraid that something would happen and everything would blow up. i decided to move to another basement this temper, refugees sensor provides not only shelter, but also necessary clothing of food and medicine as well. once they arrive in this temper, refugee sensor, their documents, say, get a checked and later on they move on to other areas in russia, aust,

here in tennis republic, some of them find jobs are there are, this is a bulletin board. will a nation bulletin board where they're able to find jobs or find something to do, but most of them are moving on to meet with their friends and families elsewhere in russia. romantic author of archie, the desk republic, ah, former u. s. president donald trump, who wants to serge back into the white house in the next year's election, has slammed washington for supporting the 2014 might on coo and ukraine. trump is again calling for a shake up in the american government to get rid of people. he says are pushing for world war 3. for decades, we've had the very same people, such as victorian newland, and many others just like are obsessed with pushing ukraine toward nato. not to mention the state department support for uprisings in ukraine. these people have

been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the cation iraq and other parts of the world. and now we're teetering on the brink of world war 3. reality is, it is exactly what a lot of americans are saying and wanting to hear. and the response to the obvious response in people's frustration here at the united states, at the unaccountable billions that continue to go over there. meanwhile, we're dealing with a real crisis here in the united states. the fact that the president of the united states would rather go to the border of another country and encourage a war rather than actually take care of his own people. i think this was an excellent moment, not only for a person running for president like donald trump, but more importantly for the people the united states to rally behind what is right and what is the right place for americans putting their time in their effort and their resources right now, which is right here at home. trump once again start pushing everybody to make hard stances on topics that prior they've been able to wish you wash apart. and trump is

starting to hold their feet to the fire, which is what it truck does best. let's just see if it actually resonates with enough pressure to actually get the right thing done by those already still in office. donald trump's comments on the disastrous war in iraq ignited by the us led invasion. come right ahead of the 20 year anniversary of one of the deadliest conflicts in the 21st century. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great danger. we

refer him to the food and sleep with among those held responsible for the iraq war. our neoconservatives, whose ideology of supporting direct us military interventions, how much sway over the bush administration. archie is kayla bop and dives deeper into their ideas and their consequences than you even imagine washington, without the neocons running u. s. foreign policy. this crowded war hawks to believe in spreading freedom by toppling governments has had the upper hand for decades. this school of foreign policy hard liners has roots in the late cold war, the soviet tallahassee. academics who are obsessed with bringing down russia in the ninety's. they took aim at iraq. the only acceptable strategy is one that

eliminates the possibility that a rock will be able to use or threatened to use weapons of mass destruction in the near term. this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing in the long term, it means removing saddam hussein and his regime from power. they waited for the right moment after 911 george w bush was ready to play ball with them. a rock was destroyed sake of democracy is the policy of the united states to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. ah, we can all see how well that turned out, yet some continued to defend neoconservative ideals. the problem with neoconservatism is agenda lies, not in that sense which are as american as apple pie,

but rather in the over militarized means by which it has sought to accomplish them . obama picked up after bush and toppled the government of libya. the neocons screamed for blood. who shall the concerns of men in congress to doubt to wayne, which new bam administration has conducted this operation? the problem is not that he has done too much humana and that he has done too little to achieve. the girl of removing to daffy from paula united states should bulletin indies effect, not trailing behind our allies. the next target was serious, a belief that if you want to get peace in syria, you can't leave asked and power. prominent u. s. economists, jeffrey sachs says that ukraine is the ultimate culmination of the neo cons strategy. the war in ukraine is the culmination of a 30 year projects of the american neoconservative movement. the biden administration is packed with the same neocons, who championed the u. s. wars of choice. and serbia, afghanistan, iraq, syria,

and libya, and who did so much to provoke russia's invasion of ukraine. endless wars, country after country destroy. and where is all it is prosperity, freedom and democracy? it's been promised. not once, as the neoconservative agenda lived up to its supposed ideals, but despite the hard lessons and the u. s. public being overwhelmingly opposed to further interventions. the war hawk world view remains alive and well as ever. hail of marvin archie near the us led invasion of iraq created many new security challenges for the country, including the emergence of terrorist organizations. the west is fight against them, destroyed many civilian lives, with many homes here in the many strikes. one of the victims was of duleigh, a hill, who is still seeking justice for the destruction brought by the u. s. military will

be as good as it on your bombs up and the house collapsed on us. we didn't know because we were inside our home and we didn't hear the bombing. as a result, i lost the hearing in my ear and my back and left hip were burned and my leg was amputated. ah, i remember a mm hm. mm hm. mm. deal with any my, my iraqi civil defense forces didn't show up because the area had not been liberated at the time and had been under ices control for 5 days. so my leg injury got infected. i've got several burns all over my body. the neighbors were terrified, they rushed to rescue us. they managed to pull us out of the rubble, but some men, women and children were not saved. they transferred me to the hospital near my home,

but the bleeding didn't stop and i couldn't sleep because of the severe pain medication wasn't available. then i said i couldn't tolerate the pain in my leg anymore. so they took me to the city of arabella doctors. there told me that the inflammation had reached the bone, and that amputation was the only way to go. my wife was slightly injured, but the children were in critical condition with numerous broken bones. thank god they're alive. ah, with the investigation determined that isis and placed a large amount of explosive material in a structure containing a significant number of civilians, neither coalition nor iraqi forces knew that civilians were sheltered within the structure. by that, if i were, after the injury,

the commander of the north american forces called me, he said that he regretted that serious mistake. adding that this happens in war, that the commander promised he would pay me a visit, which never happened. after that, they called me 3 times asking whether the iraqi government visited me or not. the u . s. troops showed their desire to financially compensate me for this mistake. however, as you know, compensation for war crimes and military errors goes on for years. but as an iraqi citizen, i'd applied for compensation to the iraqi government. like all those affected so far, i have not received any some, even though i got the receipt for it, the, the sum is very low and does not cover the cost of my destroyed house. and furniture you may not believe it, but the sum is around $10200.00, which was estimated based on the size of the house. and what about the furniture and other equipment? how can i rebuild the house with this pittance? ah,

ah, letter with anybody can as you should compensate the entire country. but what compensation can we talk about after they've completely destroyed the country, plundered its resources and wiped out its abundance. they promised people filthy richness and cars, saying they'll get what they wanted. but it was just false promises what they've achieved in the country is murder, destruction, and torture or disarm racks, weapons of mass destruction, combat terrorism, and free their rocky people. that's the monitored the u. s. politicians promoted to justify the invasion of iraq back in 2003. though a rocky nuclear scientists have made our bali says reports on the absence of weapons of mass destruction existed, but never reached george w bush's desk. bill

as the end was near the head of the international inspection, teams declared that iraq is free of weapons of mass destruction. they had destroyed all facilities, such as the move fondest facilities, wards 11 and 43, which were earmarked for that purpose in the 1980s in 19 nineties. accordingly, he submitted a document stating that he rock was free of weapons of mass destruction. what manufacturing nuclear weapons is not an easy task. it requires massive capacities in time. but let's put aside that topic for now in 1995, i spoke to dr. abdulla he'd also g, an inspector at the international atomic energy agency who was conducting inspection missions and japan, korea, and china in 1982 in 1987. he told me that he had met with one of the agencies inspectors in austria, who was tasked with operations in iraq. and that man said he reported to the agencies head albert di,

that he rock does not contain weapons of mass destruction. that report could have been forwarded to the un security council. and as a result, the embargo on iraq would have been left it. but our borrowed di declined. that is why albert di was responsible for the embargo, not having been lifted in 1096 according to my information. the war started based on 3 reports. the 1st report was related to a master's thesis on uranium enrichment which was theoretical and impractical. the 2nd report was the testimony of a person. i cannot remember his name in the u. s. congress. i can't recall the 3rd report. the aforesaid reports were port on george w bush's desk. go. based on those reports, bush decided that iraq had weapons of mass destruction and he waged a war. i'm not saying here that iraq was free of chemical and biological weapons. but in the 1990s, the inspection teams were tasked with eliminating them. i'm not ruling out the

likelihood of w m as being there, but that was prior to 2003 in 2002. the u. n. 's inspection teams released to report stating that iraq was free of w. m. d. 's. they sealed the chemical weapons wards which became inaccessible, but there was a clear recognition by the un that those wards were safe and contained only chemical waste that those words had raw materials capable of making chemical weapons. but they could have also been used for peaceful purposes. they pumped in sodium hydroxide, turning them into salts in 2002, all chemical or biological weapons were destroyed. and in 2003, almost all the nations of the world refuted the existence of weapons of mass destruction as a pretext for war. the war was a great catastrophe. it was not pertaining only to the us. it was a war involving dozens of countries in 1991, a 120000 tons of bombs, had he rec, and almost the same amount were dropped on iraq in 2003. iraq witness. 3 wars in

199119992003. among those bonds, there were internationally prohibited weapons containing depleted uranium, which were used to penetrate fortified objects such as armoured, military vehicles and communications facilities. when the explosion occurs depleted, uranium is fragmented into precise parts, the travel through the air to adjacent places and all the residents there will be infected with radioactive and other toxic substances. as a result, many people have developed various diseases such as cancer and suffered miscarriages or birth defects. the intensity of the shelling was on basrah, baghdad, and other areas causing enormously significant effects. the 1st strike was in 1991 . now the effects might not appear immediately, but those who inhaled uranium dust at the time would inevitably be infected. the uranium dust might also seep into the ground. let me tell you some figures in 2002,

a german or swiss company came to clear iraq of depleted uranium and their work lasted for years. eventually they released a document saying that these certain spots were not hazardous areas a little bit as in, in 2001 in 2002, a team of iraqi experts was formed in collaboration with monitoring entities to examine 80000000 square meters. eventually we found that a great amount of depleted uranium in several places led to many casualties and their children and grandchildren may also be effected. furthermore, the 25th golf tournament was scheduled for a few years ago, but traces of depleted uranium were one of the reasons why it was postponed. basrah was noted as the most heavily bombed city was depleted uranium. i was interviewed by saudi tv station in 2021. and i told them about the team of experts that managed

to clear basrah from all the objects contaminated with depleted uranium. and they were sent to safe areas as for the infected people. unfortunately, these infections will not disappear and may remain for decades and possibly generations to come. i believe that the 33 or 34 countries involved should take responsibility for all the iraqi casualties, as well as the delayed development due to these explosions that severely affected lives. especially in the agricultural sector, as uranium may have been transferred to crops and then to humans. yes, the u. s. and more than 30 other countries bear the responsibility for this destruction. we are exerting tremendous efforts to rid iraq of the tragedies caused by those countries. a real catastrophe might have occurred, but thanks to god and the heroism of the iraqi youth who risk their lives in order to protect the rock and the rest of the nations despite the dangers. but i also think that amid the great threat, the global warming has had on humans,

plants and animals, the trend has shifted towards atomic energy. nuclear power plants should be billed to replace fossil fuels. oil gas and coal should be replaced with nuclear fuel. nuclear facilities must be protected, and i think the pertinent agreements are sufficient only if they are tier 2 ah windermere potent has congratulated rushes military officers and veterans with the annual defender of the fatherland day. marked on the 23rd of february. the president stress that the country security is now being bolstered with some brand new weapons systems by wish in the when you minute that we will pay increased attention to strengthening our nuclear deterrent this year. the 1st launchers of the sar mouth complex with a new heavy missile are entering combat duty. we will continue the serial

production of congenial air based hypersonic complexes and begin the mass introduction of zircon c based hypersonic missiles. who now also mentioned that the country's navy will introduce a new nuclear armed submarine. this year, the president added that russia's military will deploy a full complement of modern, strategic weapons and delivery systems. the country's arms industry is now steaming ahead to provide the military with everything it needs to protect the nation from foreign threats. ah, nigeria africa's most populous nation and biggest economy is preparing for presidential elections is saturday. here in r t were continuing our special coverage of one of the continents most significant elections this year. hey,

over 93000000 people are registered for the upcoming vote with 18 candidates to choose from. the 3 main contenders are the governor from the ruling party, bola ahmed, tin o boot, the former vice president and leader of the people's democratic party, a t qu abu bach car and the youngest member of them. the former governor and nominee of the labor party. peter obee, gaining mass popularity among young people. each of them represents a different region of the country and appeals to a different electorate. the choice of who to vote for is further complicated by concerns over possible neo colonial influenced by the u. k. on the elections. 3 of the candidates as well as the electoral empire, have visited the you case, chaff, m house, think tank for consultations and they claim to promote their candidacy candidacy to nigerians around the world are te correspondent,
