a, a ah, china has called on the west to stop abusing unilateral sanctions and do their share and d as the lading, the ukraine prices. st dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution to the conflict. india takes the floor at the un general assembly saying the interests of both russia and ukraine must be respected to achieve peace. that's as you have rejects the possibility of speaking with moscow in an exclusive interview to going under ground renown investigative journalist seymour hersh, breaks down the u. s. sabotage of the north string pipelines,

which he recently exposed in a bombshell report that's been denied by washington. that's the rationale for the mission to make sure that europe and we're senior teacher, and funneling supporting nato and hips on following arms into into what is truly a proxy war against russia. and moscow says, ukraine is preparing to invade. the neighbouring self proclaimed republicans for anthony is curb, for russian peacekeepers have been stationed for more than 3 decades to prevent a military escalation group with good morning for martino national tutors in moscow. and welcome to the hours most vital stories worldwide. i'm fiorella, isabel. china has called on the world to prevent the ukrainian conflict from escalating, asking world leaders to resume a peace dialogue after its foreign ministry publishes

a 12 point plan for peace solution to the ukrainian conflict within the proposal. it condemns the west is unilateral sanctions that it puts on other countries. china pulls a steel, i shall sanctions unauthorized by the un security council. relevant contrition, stop i'll be using unilateral sanctions and long arm years diction against all the countries. so us to do their share in the escalade in the ukraine crisis, and cray conditions for developing countries to grow their economies and better to life. so there are people and alice cross live to you and phase thou see g g n correspondent. welcome. can you tell us more about the chinese foreign ministry statement? well, the statement has a several layers of logic. if you see the flow of the logic, it's quite agree clear. on the 1st front, it costs are all countries to respect the sovereignty of all the nations and

abandoning the cold war mentality. and the 2nd layer is about the crisis itself. it calls for seizing hostilities, resuming peace talks, resolving the humanitarian crisis, and protecting civilians and prisoners. and also it focused on the post a fact brought by the crisis, including keeping the nuclear power plant save, reducing strategic risk, facilitating grain exports, and stopping unilateral sanctions keeping industrial supply chain stable and also promoting post conflict reconstruction. so it's a layer of promotion of, you know, based on the basically, based on the grounds of talks meant also different layers of idea. given the current to situation welsh. i also spoke on global security and said that it shouldn't be achieved by expanding military blocks. can you expand on that? while a mission about the security of

a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocks? because the more weapons you know added the more severe the situation would escalate. and it also says that the legitimate security, interest and concrete of all countries must be taken seriously and addressed properly. and there is no simple solution to a complex issue. so when we facing the background of the china has been long calling for you, acknowledging the backgrounds of any crisis when it comes to ukraine, the situation ukraine, you have to consider the historical backgrounds at that cause the, the crisis. while there's also been a suggestion of resuming peace talks, even though so far ukraine and nato have appeared hesitant. could china play a role in this potentially happening? china has been always calling for peace, and china has been always saying that it wants to play

a constructive role in this regard. including the mentioning that the dialogue and negotiation are the only visible solution to the ukraine crisis. and the international community should stay committed to promoting talks for peace. so not only the 2 sides, but also the entire international community should support the people resolution or political resolution of the current situation. as you mentioned, china has opposed the unilateral sanctions that were not authorized by the us. can you tell us more on why this is? china stands on the topic in general. while because they are trying to believe that any kind of the unilateral sanctions that is on authorized by the un security council will, should be opposed. and also in the statement, it says that the unit, actual sanctions and maximum pressure cannot solve the issue. and that can only

create new problems. so how trying to handle the current issue is not posting sanctions and not providing weapons but calling for a political resolution. well, china also spoke on resolving the humanitarian crisis and how the un should provide full support. this is of course, in reference to the grain crisis. what's china charges proposal for resolving this? and the bring crisis in particular china also in the proposal, china talked about the, the international law, a mention about international all that should be universally recognized, including the purpose of the principles of the united nations charter must be strictly observed. so mention about the sovereignty and independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be fact to be upheld. and he also mentioned above the humanitarian crisis. i was in the region when the un supported

the, you know, refuge people escape from the memory of all talk with going through the humanitarian corridor. and, you know, china has been always supporting activities like this in order to the indian representative has that, that we ask ourselves a few personal questions. all we any venue a possible solution, acceptable to both sites? can any process that does not involve either of the 2 sides if a lead to a credible and meaningful solution has the u. n. system and particularly its principal organ, the un security council based on a 1945 vote construct not been rendered ineffective. we always called for dialogue and diplomacy as the only viable re upped while we take note of the stated objectives of today's resolution, given its inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting

peace, we are constrained to epstein. thank that says 141 countries voted in favor of the anti russian resolution and adopted the motion after 2 days of debates in new york. 7 nations including russia. bell ruse and syria rejected the document while an additional $32.00 un members app stayed among them. china, india in iran. the hungarian foreign minister has also stood up against western armed supplies that have led to an escalation in the conflict in ukraine. it became already pretty obvious that neither delivery of weapons, nor sanctions, those measures do not save lives. to the contrary. they contribute to the prolongation and the risk of escalation of this war. and they bring more suffering . and we do not want this regional war to become

a global them and made international calls for peace and negotiations from global leaders. president zalinski has stated he is opposed to holding discussions with rocha's leader kev says that won't make any deals with moscow preferring a military option instead. r t is marina co star ever has the details in this, in a court. this feeds or messy divorce, where one side refuses to speak to the other to reach any sort of settlement that this score would likely grow and dry gone at cost to both parties involved. and it's this parallel, we're seen on an international scale in ukraine. right now, our best negotiators and diplomats are soldiers. negotiations with moscow are currently impossible. we will not participate in any talks. if russia goes for willful war crimes, even in this than what is the point of talking to a country that voluntarily worsens its negotiating position. the only desire is to destroy the racist monstrosity with

a terrorist country. negotiations only through the sites of the defense forces. we latoya, we are ready for a dialogue with russia, but with a different russian precedent. she and this position has been officially signed then. so all it seems the ukrainian government is not only not interested in peace, it's actually made peace illegal. while all along russia has been making clear, it's ready to returns. it talks we, we have repeatedly said that the president does not refuse to negotiate by those who do refuse should understand that the longer takes, the more difficult it is to find a solution that are unlike ukraine. russia has never refused dialogue and the search for diplomatic waste or resolve the conflict. this is a constant position. it was russia on the eve of the ukrainian crisis, which consistently proposed to the west to sign agreements on mutual security guarantees. all of them were arrogantly rejected. at the same time,

a western mainstream media and politicians have largely ignored ross's calls for peace pretending they're not happening. this than certainly fits the narrative of russia as the uncompromising aggressor, but at what expense to later will continue to stand read ukraine for as long as you take santo law or italy, ricky, mr. pro, who for his lauren too will lose of you. i mean, obviously ukraine can count on italy because as we've shown from the beginning, even across governments, we have been there and we will be there. she said it even if both sides could somehow read for deal like the minsk agreements supposed to end the war and that on boss. it would still be meaningless because we now know the intent to do so was never truly there. to 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you crane time. you can use this time to become stronger as you can see today. the ukraine of

20142015 is not the ukraine of to day, says 2014 ukraine, his friends, and is mailed to butcher. it was better trained and equipped, and had some merit of the means agreement to have given the grin and army these apartments. when those neighbor, i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato standards. so all the global it leads, talk of negotiations and peace or claim to these apparently have to happen with doubt rosters. voice been heard or even represented at the negotiations. sounds more like a kangaroo court than a real dispute resolution. letter is lensky is dependent on the west for political, economic, and military survival on the willing to see how western interference in ukraine has led key of down the rocky road to war with moscow over the last decade. but it's

too late to change direction as washington, once every one playing by its own rules. when it comes to our, the way we're approaching the relationship with, with china, we're not seeking to contain china. we're not seeking the whole china back. we are seeking resolutely, so to uphold the rule space international order and in, in a, in a proper way. that means insisting that countries make good on their commitments and play by the rules that we've all agreed to. it seems the collective west has agreed that now is not the time for peace, no matter how loudly they claim to seek it, or how often they gaslight moscow, any conferences, talks or votes without rushes is cannot lead to peace bubble rather leave the conflict down the road to nowhere the u. s. sabotage of the

north stream pipelines was aimed at cutting off europe from affordable rush and gas . that's according to pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, speaking exclusively to option returns the ongoing underground. the people doing it thought this was in a bad idea. they gave the white house some options to maybe bluff or convince a potent at the cost is going to be very high and but then when the white house bluebook bye, talk publicly about this within 3 weeks of the briefing or the information he got. and victoria knew of both within a 3 week period and late january, early february of last year. both said publicly, well, we know we can stop at and let me be. let me, let me so the news, travis, if, if a, we will south north she wanted and the president was asked after he said that by a reporters, it's a fame. it's all on tape. it was a on a nightly news report. so how will you do it? he said, let me tell you, we know how to do it. we can do it language like that. and at that point, the guys in the group and were upset because it was supposed to be covert operation

. and by the time they finally, they did their job, they made it possible they, they planted the bombs with 8 of navy divers and. and then it just sat there. the bomb sat there for months was planted in june, but by wish by so when, when the war look, you look like for ukrainians were doing okay. by late september there was certainly evidence of a serious a serious issue. it wasn't going to be a cakewalk for the ukrainians, like some people in the press road. and as their point, the group that made it possible. understood that he did it for political purposes period. it's not going to help to war. and what it does, what he was doing it for was to prevent germany and on western europe if case the winter came quickly from opening up the pipeline. the german government had, they done the sanction they sought the pipeline. but the german government at the right to open up the new one. and that was in wanted by, by vest suresh you know,

for the mission to make sure that europe and were senior keeps on. funneling supporting nato and keeps on falling arms into into what is a clear proxy war against russia. that's free for right now, published on february 8th, the report alleged the pipelines were mine by u. s. navy divers, back in june last year, the journalist said washington used nato military drills to cover up the operation with assistance from norway. according to the report, joe biden made the decision after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors. the report has been criticized by both washington and the e. u, with officials dismissing it as speculation, and even fiction. for more revelations, from the man who previously exposed us war crimes and vietnam. any rock you can watch the full interview with seymour hersh on going under ground right here on our tea this saturday. ah, moscow says ukraine has intensified preparations for invading the neighboring self

proclaimed republic of trans, near stir, where russian peacekeepers have been stationed since 1992. the russian defense ministry has recorded a significant accumulation of personnel and military equipment of ukrainian units near the border with trends missed her the deployment of artillery and firing positions, as well as an unprecedented increase in flights of unmanned aircraft, of the armed forces of ukraine over the territory of the trust, mr. republic. the implementation of a plan's provocation by the ukranian authorities poses a direct threat to the russian peacekeeping. force deployed legally entrenched mr. the defense ministry added that its forces will provide an adequate response. if ukraine makes the move on transistor which broke away from moldova in 1990. meanwhile mal jovan authorities have begun withdrawing from dozens of agreements, signed between the nation and the post soviet commonwealth of independent states.

while job as prime minister has also called for the removal of russian peacekeepers from the region with moscow later criticizing those remarks. we have to achieve one fundamental goal, demilitarization. everything else comes after that. it's important to integrate our citizens, their politically and economically. but demilitarization comes 1st, it depends on many things, but at some point it will be done. we have quite tense relations with moldova already. at the same time, the moldova government seems to be making an emphasis on everything. anti russian, falling into anti russian hysteria. such lack of a constructive approach will hardly help moldova itself. and of course it harms our bilateral relations. the regions population is comprised of ethnic russians, ukrainians, and while dobbins in almost equal proportions following a 2 year military conflict between them. although the nationalist government and local forces in 1992, moscow aided a britain brokering

a p steel under the agreement, russian forces remained there to provide security for military objects. some locals there shared their views on the calls from key she now in others were do it. when that should not happen. we live normally. here we have a normal army and a normal government. i heard that moldova is demanding the withdrawal of russian troops in demilitarization, in short, to disarm us and then do whatever they want with us. look at their discovery claim, it's every republic has the right to protect itself. so i think everything should remain as it is. i would not like the russian troops to withdraw because they defend our interests. a civil and i have a negative opinion towards demilitarization because 1st of all, these are troops, they protect us, i would not like it if russian troops left, because when they came here order and peace was established. if they leave, it's going to be the opposite. moldova,

former president igor da down who's also the main opposition leader in the country, asked slammed the current government's policy and has called on the nation to avoid destabilizing the situation in the region. scans as moldova faces political turmoil with thousands of residents protesting against the government and high energy costs . a political analysts told us that mold of as rhetoric is aimed at pleasing the west and ukraine. labors visiting you. she knew the demilitarization of trans nestor is on the one hand, the official position of chest now. but on the other hand, such a declaration in such a tense time causes great resonance because the modern government does not always voice such a position. the fact that they return to the term demilitarization, which implies the withdraw of the russian peace keeping contingent from trans nestor, is perceived both in moscow and theresa pole as a provocation. this was unexpected and suggest that just now is not afraid to use

such a term and it's dangerous and can lead to consequences. but one way or another, most of the population of more dover, is in favor of neutrality and does not support radical solutions. according to the latest polls, i believe that the current government of more dover wants to show loyalty to the west and to kiev, as things are going very badly for them in social and economic spheres. the use the theme of war to show society that they are doing something useful, solving some serious problems, but they are creating these problems themselves. that's the way i think the government wants to keep its rating from falling by whipping up fear. nigeria, africa's most populous nation and biggest economy is gearing up for presidential elections is saturday. here in our tea, we're bringing you our special coverage of one of the continents most significant elections this year. hi.
