i'm slightly deficient when it comes to disrupt technology. so the votes already being counted and you can continue to watch our special coverage here on auto international. nigeria is elections 2023 more details right now at auto dot com are shifting our focus now to the conflict in ukraine where drones strikes have been reported in the early hours of monday, across multiple regions of the country. as we understand explosions were heard in the capital t f, as well as in various other areas. you can see right there on the map. now this comes as local authorities confirmed a drone attack in just one region without specifying if there had been any damage. meanwhile, on the other side of the border, ukrainian forces shell, the town in the russian region was up at oj, can see the aftermath of the attack that hit

a university building. ukrainian artillery, a portly used cluster munitions to bomb bomb that civilian student site. and according to local officials, at least 10 shells struck the roof of the building, though as we understand no reports of any casualties. now, all this comes made intensifying battles on the don bass front lines. that's where you'll find a corresponding, eager to dine off in the republic of no guns go watching the russian rocket tillery systems being used in the combat science. the frontend to look guns, republic presents the ultimate challenge in military mass, icy country roads turn to swampy mud and freeze again in a span of hours. low lands are covered with fog. down toes and snow falls, impede visibility, paralyzing the work of sports and anti tank crews. all this and move has to be factored into the gargantuan equation by both sides. russia planning,

it's advance and ukraine holding defensive lines. for these grad walker launches can hit targets up to 40 kilometers away. not only does this range provide relative safety, but also flexibility in picking the best firing position, with the best conditions. with with

these grad crews will they make an immediate escape? very often here in the dumbass, everything that separates you between life and death is just minutes. ukrainian forces can be very precise and very quick with return fire. even with the grown camera is blinded by weather rushes, command centers pack plenty of intelligence data. the frontline is vast, but there's only a handful of places where a key forces have developed a habit of masking their equipment at a bottom and think soon of work intensively. we have multiple goals. we constantly push the enemy were satisfied with our results. although we hit both infantry and ukrainian military equipment order, russia has amassed a powerful fire fist here and is now probing ukraine's defenses. keep troops and turns scatter their perimeters with hundreds of mines. a clear sign that they've abandoned hopes they once cherished to deal another blow to the russian army. here

i'm a good done of reporting from the dumbass oxy. well, i mean time, ellen musk has once again found himself in hot water with who now that of the ukrainian government ilan mosque brand of the 2014 ukraine regime, change a coo and received an immediate backlash from one of zelinski advisors. that election was arguably dodgy. but no question that there was indeed a clue. free societies influence states via di, logo, elections in slate society's take to the streets to get rid of repressive states. this is the basis of freedom. ellen must. there have never been cruise in ukraine, but they have always been free. people stop reading russian newspapers. and so the coup in question took place in 2014, when ben ukrainian of president john cove, which was overthrown, following deadly chaotic protests and violence on the streets was directly

supported by washington with multiple us lawmakers and government officials openly visiting the ukrainian capital at that time, i mean even in the words of the u. s. deputy secretary of state victoria newland washington, actually quote midwife that qu meanwhile, according to moscow, the main force responsible for the violence on the streets and clashes with police were radical nationalists. nevertheless, the day before ukrainian president cove, which was overthrown, his government actually signed an agreement with the opposition. the deal was in fact, broken by the european union and russia among the tub. it was an agreement to initiate early presidential elections. however, a lot of people didn't fulfill the agreement as they occupied government buildings in kiev, falling with the withdrawal of police force and president, yanna cobra eventually had to leave the country simply because of the danger that he was facing. but whatever you do, don't call it a qu,

how washington has attempted to shape the media narrative, according to former us marine corps intel officers, scott ritter and fact on the latest episode of auth fees. the modus operandi, he says, the u. s. establishment use, there's other ways to describe the ousting of the democratically elected government . so they can justify its full fledged support. watch the full episode of nazi dot com. otherwise for our short clip of what's in store. it's a 4 letter word. it's a dirty word. there's a lot of negative connotation attached to it. many us supported crews in the past of produce the leadership of that that has been embarrassing to the united states. it's also something that tries in the face of international law cou implies that we are actively supporting a military junta to forcefully take over from a government oftentimes

a democratically elected government. we don't want to encourage that in more, so we speak a regime change in the case of my don and in the ukraine in 2014, we speak of a revolution regime change where the people ousted the pro russian victory on a co, which we don't admit that it was a could a tar carried out by ultra train, ultra nationalists, funded and supported by the united states. one would be a blatant violation of international law. the other one is the lawful expression of free will by a sovereign people finelli quarter past the out here at moscow. so good to happy with us. on monday, egypt foreign minister was visiting syria for the 1st time in more than a decade. ultimately, to show his support after the deadly earthquake set the country just earlier this month. now he has a forecast is trip, as quote, showing solidarity with brotherly people. egypt was among those who 1st delivered

force in the middle east by maintaining balanced relationship, inner region there that is characterized by a web of complex relationships now. and there is an organic relationship between egypt and celia. am i heard in the report? that is the phone call between the president of egypt and the president celia, 1st time after 8 years. as a matter of fact, this is what is declared, but actually the contact never stopped because the, as i said it, there is an organic relationship. social, cultural for dictates between egypt and syria, they were once one country, one a state called the united states. now that the humanitarian is, is a, is a very natural response from a brother to

a brother. now did approach mint between egypt and kito. turkey. that's the, the issue we have to talk about. because after 18th break between a egypt and turkey since 2013 after the gyptian popular revolution against the muslim brotherhood and posted them. ah, there was a breakdown of moment relationship between turkey that supported the muslim brotherhood. but, and harbert are the leaders in istanbul and uncut a to attack the gyptian government, the other the both but the, the bathrooms. i do ask for your forgiveness. i'm so sorry for interrupting it because you're telling us an amazing story here with a lot of details that i'm regretting me. i don't have the time to get to today. let me bring, let me bring us back on to the road here. if i can he gyptian foreign minister sir, visiting syria. we're talking about a reproach. mont, now nearly

a decade of attentions in the region. also poor syria fighting off. it was essentially a western army of mercenaries, hell, bent on a regime change to kick aside out of syria. now the egyptian foreign minister is visiting syria. what do you think? are the main goals of the visit? you mentioned to me that the communication lines actually have maintained have been open for a long, long time. but what's the goal of this visit, sir? the restoration of the syrian membership in the arab league. as a matter of fact, that the record been mentioned that the speaker of the parliament in egypt, or the people assembly or the parliament in egypt at the lower house, went to see the as well. not only the foreign minister, but we are talking about a foreign, a relationship that egyptian, for a relationship that encounters

a brother back to the out of leak and saying that we will gradually reduce the resistance of other other countries to celia. because you, we all know that her celia had a conflict with the gulf states, so they were resisting that celia comes back. in addition to this, there is an embargo against her celia from the international unity deceased act, or they are trying to resolve this issue. and restoring celia back into the out of the that's the direct answer to request that, that, that isn't that the main, the main author to the question, i appreciate it dr. bathrooms, hope things are straight with me. but as, as it was agreed that you know, the, the egyptian foreign minister saying his trip to syria is quote, showing solidarity with brotherly people and on the market bought ross,

that's exactly what you are telling us as well. and we really appreciate your time professor of political science at halloween university joining us life. i had thought about ross, thank you. thank you. and thank you for joining us so far for this program. the german chancellor o left schultz travel to india on saturday to convince the country's prime minister mister moti, to side with the west against russia. however, modi stated india maintains a neutral stance and is ready to contribute to an immediate, a peace process for ending the conflict in ukraine. happiness you see be, shan't be perfectly ami. since the beginning of the developments in ukraine, india has insisted on resolving this dispute through dialogue and diplomacy. your brand is ready to contribute to any beast process. we have also agreed that reform of multilateral institutions is necessary to reflect global realities in a better way. this is evident from our active participation within the g for

through form the un security council. is that clear? how good that is? i, let's have it open out to what is ruined. jones shot about who are more on how sholtes essentially sees the chance to blame moscow for the global energy crisis and food and security. while the mainstream media is not going to tell you this. but too many cargo ships around the world are carrying grain, not to africa, not to the countries that need of the most, but to europe. no one, chancellor essentially said that he wants to deepen economic and political ties with india. how so on his to day was it or the weekend and this was his 1st with it ever since sir. are taking gun or taking office and 2021. i sensually both the countries signed some agreements, wind all saw solar and dumb are in fact, green hydrogen sector. now this meeting between the german chancellor as well as the prime minister of india, and that into worthy it don't please just a day after the anniversary of russia's offensive in ukraine. now the german

chancellor says that the conflict is hurting developing countries and that it's also causing gar fuel as well as food shortages in these countries. but to member where the green wessel go, the wrestles full of greens from you korean, from unblocked boards. in fact, they were going north to the starving countries of africa, but mainly to europe. in the top, the world is suffering as a consequence of russia's aggression. a very important question is securing the supply of food and energy. we have to make sure that countries in asia, africa, and america not too strongly and negatively impacted by the terrible war of aggression that russia started against ukraine here. and that the impact is not too negative for them. supply shortages is thus the one priority of our work for lost shots also retreated about have the commitment of sealing the deal between europe

as well as you look in union as well as in the, the free trade deal. and why do they want to do that? essentially because of course it is going to stranded use ties with in the indoor specifically june. but more importantly, they believe that by doing so, they can father isolate ma school. so basically reading in there, we're from russian alms add energy, but it doesn't want that. there's a clear answer to that. no, in fact, as far as 5 minutes and the movie during his with his consent, why do you, seth, of the conflict should be sold with dialogue and diplomacy. but, you know, keeping in line with the countries approach to now, he in fact, refrain from saying anything against russia now. meanwhile, last week, there was also a g 20 of the finance minister's needs in india. and while the finance sheets had a lot to ponder bod, discuss economic problems. but what really happened was that all of that got

overshadowed by the west and demands for india to condemn russia and taken a subtle stance. and it's refused to comment on the incident. ah, 20 years ago to this day, iraq agreed to destroy its long range ballistic missiles, as was required by the united nations. but these concessions basically proved fruitless. the us and its allies launching an invasion that was left a trail of destruction in iraq, killing hundreds of thousands. so over now to our structural coverage of the us war on terror in iraq, 20 years 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 with

food medicine and fleet with it took just over one month for the u. s. in its allies, shock and old campaign to take control of baghdad. however, u. s. troops only officially withdrew in 2011 or over all those years, the lives of countless numbers, old civilians were shattered. i was a teenager in the tardy area. there was an army training camp and weapons depots and the sites was subjected to heavy bombardment by merican forces. we were

teenagers and we were playing football. not caring about the shelling that sometimes we would have to hide. one day there was a huge explosion. we did not know that the bomb had fallen on us. 3 children were lined dead near me, and i remember that the person who was holding the bolt died instantly. but i was injured in 2000 sakes. while i was playing, i heard have a shooting, and then suddenly a mortar landed near me. i was only a child of the time. i was injured in 2008 when i was just riding my bicycle when suddenly i was spinning. i landed on my back and could see my entire stomach hopin and intestines on the ground. ah ah, the number of iraqi martyrs who were killed by american forces and car bombs is nearly 250000. the injured are more than 500000. what did they do to deserve this?

what has been achieved by invading iraq under the pretext of having weapons of mass destruction? where are those weapons of mass destruction? oh, my life got worse. i left school, i couldn't walk and my abdomen was cut open. life weiss, my life is over, as i can't even get a job my life end and and my future was lost. this destroyed my mother and father especially badly. and after a while they died. one after the other, after i lost my foot, the injury affected my life in a major way. i told myself my life is over. i was just a teenager. how would i live like this? you would ever want to marry me? ah, ah,

ah. the murder and destruction of the iraqi people is a genocide perpetrated by us forces the entry of isis and the further killing of iraqi people. and the security forces are all because of americans. we have evidence and certified documents that prove the u. s. bombed and iraqi police patrol simply for being in an area controlled by the us. ah, i, i do know gets any compensation even though i submitted all the required documents, only receive social welfare payments amounted to a $170000.00 dina's which was completely useless. that's also presumably the rocky government ought to dr. required measure and compensate the wounded at least financially considering they haven't even made any moral apologies. oh, america did not compensate the iraqi people for even one dena, of its bombings,

which destroyed and humiliated the people of iraq. all injuries have been documented, and the united states knows this. unfortunately, the killing in blood shedding of iraqi people continues. there is no deterring. let's or 1000 or 3 conflict was not the 1st us campaign against iraq. 1990 following the iraqi invasion of kuwait, then u. s. president bush senior, kicked off operation, desert storm bought 3000 civilians are estimated to have been killed, as well as up to 50000 iraqi soldiers. well, i discussed as a storm with a former war veteran at daniel bosworth. he compared the both of the 2 military interventions in iraq. he compared both of them have a have a listen to what he had to say. in 199091 we had all the military equipment soldiers. we were stopped at the border of iraq.

they let saddam hussein stay in power to keep the region stable. right? because you have iran, iraq, i believe in 199091 had the 4th largest military. but then why in 2003, they wanted to take him out of power when they know it's going to open a vacuum. but was saddam hussein a direct threat now to the united states? no, was he a direct threat to the people of the united states? no, in my opinion, i don't believe so. why do you think, daniel, that america, england and some of the nato allies, why do you think they chose the middle east? one? i believe oil. i and to, i believe, to make the middle east unstable. there are certain people who like to control through fear. and if you make the, the middle east unstable and then you, you keep pushing the narrative.
