a group of people roma, but they call them gypsy, you know, and i, what they did as i say the refugees and put them above us. and the soldiers below that way, if they bond to school, they say look, they bombed a school full of refugees. and this is a common practice. and don as car cove, we occupy civilian houses. next house is that people are still living in that way. if they bomb and kill civilian, they bring in the news crew and they say, look at this house, they blew up and they killed the civilians. but what the camera doesn't show used in the left and to the right is a house, is a field with military. you know, of course i haven't seen seen this in person. thank god. but i know that a lot of captured russian soldiers, they'll take a cut, the genitalia with a knife and everything and cut them, cut their stomachs open with their throats, got their heads off and stuff like this, you know, really horrible, horrible stuff, you know, was this the work of nationalist and she was just yeah, this extremist in different organizations as all you know,

a he was like a military intelligence officer from the navy and he was in. yeah. and he had a while he was in the foreign legion and he had a satellite phone in the computer provided by the c i. and every day he would call his contacts and he would get some information about the positions troop movements and so on. and so forth. and jim, his name. yeah, yeah. what was it? oh, wait, now, what was his name? is he on? so? sorry. i can remember 1st name, at least. oh, there is like marcus or something like that. like for example, they provide like grid coordinates. the wealth of information he has provided is already being used by the russian military and law enforcement who have leased some war crimes and now even more names to them or is years of work ahead. but we had one final question for john a year after all is a long time. if he, i mean,

they're going to watch this. they're going to see this. yeah. busy people, the people you, you served with, what would you say to them all fair in love and war? you know, it is what it aspires exist, you know? and i'm a spar and mission mission accomplished with yes, awesome. more at gas d, a r t from moscow. meantime, more than 250 ukranian troops have been killed. as the russian military continues, it is advanced through the don, it's republic. this is according to the defense ministry, and we spoke exclusively about the latest updates on the front lines with the head of that on its republic. mister denise pushing and as such, an adult center room, one of our tel mosque is really in the spotlight right now. house recently,

2 settlements were liberated, barracka and jaga. there were some which allowed wagner to get closer to settlements that allow them to squeeze the ring tighter around our tomo system, taking into account that there are no longer any roads or enemies supply lives. there are not under fire under the operational control of our units. this greatly complicates the already difficult situation for the enemy in the city itself workable. we also saw that the enemy blew up the dam, trying to slow down the advance of our units, but could not create critical difficulties for our troops. the enemy continues to transfer additional reserves, which characterizes the severity of the battles that our units are conducting daniels, cuz sometimes our troops wagner, to do the impossible, but move forward. i wish there are significant improvements in the update to direction as well. in the questionnaires to us to adjust that on the deal at so if you're still at health like everything is being done by the other side to the feet are all means, but all this is being done using civilians. we did get that impression which me

that on which my practical social, this is already they established practice of the armed formations of ukraine in general, the ukrainian regime to create the most difficult conditions for the civilian population. so this is what the current blockades are connected with, and those that have been in place since 2014, at some point, this tactic became even more cynical. we see the better and seen and terrorist organizations. so preacher 93 people have already been injured, including 8 children from petal mines dropped by drones. watson as an agent. and as a ukraine does continued a scatter of pet old mines throughout residential areas in the donuts republic. a correspondent, roman closer i visited a local hospital where he spoke to a child that was injured by that deadly weapon. several districts here in the last have been under fire by the ukrainian military in the last 48 hours. as the result, several people were wounded. all of them are being taken to these hospitals,

but apart from a shilling residential areas, ukraine are all so planting, so called petal mines mines that are designed to make a person for life. these people are also in this hospital right now. we'll talk to the head doctor who will tell us about them. insurance we're gonna give her a flipper since last summer. we've been actively receiving the victims of petal. mines are 2 or 3 people a day. we work with the media, inform the public that the injury from such mine is very severe and immediately leads to a handicap. it's almost impossible to say the foot and the lower part of the leg. unfortunately, many of our civilians, including children, have suffered from this insidious mine, children stepping on them, some even picked them up by raising awareness we managed to reduce the number of such cases, but they still exist. one or 2 a week. $93.00 people had become victims of the so called that that's all or butterfly minds,

his thought of the special minutes reparation of those $93.00 people. 8 were children. one of the latest victims he is in this dorm right now. his name is mazar . i will talk to him and he'll tell me the story of how it happened. was it a shall so straight old rosie when i was returning from the store, i met some friends and stopped to talk to them. there were all the people walk in there on the road side. when i got into the car, i stepped on a paddle mine. it wasn't visible, all the garage in the area was trampled image. see those white, elegant decisions that we do any more say do i want you to work? well, i want to take up sports. if i can muster billed yet. he stopped on the man on the side of the road. there is cross next week. so many people had walked past, but he was unlucky. the doctor said his like as much as they could. you can see for yourself what condition the like is in the thing is are all intact, but we're still need to see how they will move and function where constantly under

fire when i was on my way to the hospital now there was have a shelling shell recently fell into the courtyard. all the windows were blown out. everything isn't a white folk, it's dark on the right side of the house, the corner was completely destroyed. it's very scary. almost 4 and a half 1000 people have been killed here in done a boss by ukrainian artillery says to start of the special minutes reparation. 132 of those victims were children to right now as i speak, the shilling, all 5 residential civilian areas here in the next continue. and as the day progresses, we might hear off more victims from on coster f r t done that's republic. that's a bring you some live pictures right now from kisha now with 2 moldova now where hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest against the countries pro e. u. government formed earlier this month, life pitchers right here from the capital of caching. now it's about

a nearly quarter past 1 in the afternoon, a pretty chilly plus 6 degrees celsius as well. my residents have gathered in moldova as capital of christian out, raised their voices against the government's energy policy. despite the previous prime minister resigning they accused the new cabinet being responsible for soaring energy prices and inflation. protesters of demand at the countries president resign and local authorities have restricted access to the area to try to prevent more demonstrate is from entering the city. and the country protests have been going on since september of last year. those at live pitches, once again, right there from the mold oven capital. it are just about quarter past 1 on tuesday afternoon. so for now, law enforcement agencies and the central african republic had revealed the details of their investigation into the attack on the head of the russian house to meet 3 c t. the official was injured by an explosive def i sent to him. an apostle last year,

i, mr. c. t a that suffered serious injuries and the december attack was evacuated to russia. the puzzle contained a threatening letter calling on russians to leave africa. the police investigation found footage off the person who sent the package, but the suspect has yet to be detained. or the russian house is basically an officer, strengthening cooperation between russia and the c a r. and earlier we spoke to demetrius toothy himself, and he shut his terrifying experience of being a talk for essentially promoting what russian culture in africa before a good notice that they have a parcel of a team in detail post office in bungie with a different drive for me and so the next morning i sent my employee to recover it. she brought it to me. when i was alone in the office, i boxed it, there was indeed a flash drive. so i took it into my hand and i have a wireless plugin into the hub. i, i notice that it was heavier than a,

then it should be. then suddenly message came. i thought like this and so flash of light. then i looked at my hand and the weather is supposed to been saw a bunch of bonds and the need russia you previously to, to negotiate peace. i'm bring stability to the region. you feel that you will probably a person nothing to do with russian miles, but any ideas who this guy the he he reappeared with the appeal some time ago like in the summer. and he suddenly insisted to give me information that links this saying to him over the number of terrorist attacks, including the flint question, need to trust and to encourage it. i never gotten actually. and then this

attack happened. i started pursued. let us the investigation is conducted and it's revealed the explosive. i was effective. it was made in a lab. not just something you can make up in a garish and the yield was comparable to the yield of 40 millimeter ground. it's like, wow. and if a fairly effect, and the answer is mistake, which near the levers the cia allegedly probably heard, you're going to get some information about something that they didn't want everybody to know about. and that's how they talk. yeah, i mean it's all right and then there is like an institution and we see i don't know if you have a footage. there is a fender of a letter. this is a white guy, right? male and his thirty's forty's. who says this package from taco using the worst is still. so we're trying to push this near colonialism practices in,

in african. it's really hard for you to, to talk about. but do you see an evidence of that? i have a perception of the situation. there may be no more colon is de facto no more. derrick dominant governance, but there is economic dominance. but it still happens that the african nation types of the arrogance of the rest of their, of them impose in the rules of african countries. and they vote from competition develop from russia. they welcome to china. they need this to to allow them to develop. and they see nicole pot in russia. let's get to some of the latest development stuff and general election in nigeria, where the vote counting is underway to basically determine the next president and parliament of africa, the most populous nation. the

so the preliminary results showing the people's democratic party's candidate who will buy car has secured one western 5, northern and one southern states, a bowler to nubile from the rolling all progressive congress. that body is leading in 7 regions in the west and the north or the labor parties. peter obey got the most votes in 4 states, including log os, which was lost by the states governor to new booth party for the 1st time in decades. only the state of kain has been won by another candidate representing the new iberia and people's party. and while the results of the votes continued to be announced, some candidates have already declared that concerns about the results of peter obey his labor party, stated that it has, quote, lost confidence in the results being collected and announced demanding a revision of the results or the complete constellations, peter, obey one majority and the key states of logos. but

a party representative believes the results were under estimated. you know, that would be that that is it to represent to some of the, of the letters of middle way. no. no, it just no news. now you don't lose that much, you know the cheese. so i show you more than what was before to la. peter obeys arrivals from the democratic people's part. he also rejected the early results, marching and protest on monday, seeking basically to stop the election through the courts. the apc campaign council has accused the party of attempting to throw the country into a constitutional crisis as auntie is a catabolic tattler now reports. they intention here was to have electronically transmitted results to the ionic server in a boucher being transmitted electronically. and ionic has been unable to do so. in many of those instances must abaca general a boob,

a column. the other hand has said that it's unbecoming of ionic and the security forces to not address the issues that have mod this elections. and those include vote to suppression our violence as well as intimidation that have come to mob these results saying that without addressing those they, they give further illegitimacy to the results that are being announced from a boucher. but here's the picture, as we know so far, foreign observers have also called on, on ironing to not overlook the irregularities that have come to characterize these results. seeing that anything less than that gives illegitimacy to the bad results. but here's the big job that we know so far. a p, c. b, lead here by bowler to know who has captured or has managed to win. at least 6 of the 37 states that make the federal republic the

a p. c. as those who followed by the p v, that's the people's democratic party. and they are led in this or in this regard by article backup. and they have claimed 5 states, according to the results coming out of a boucher and those states include either my law or soon gone bit. yorba and cut in a state casino plus is the state that mama dubois to the cumberland of nigeria emanates from. and that is something unheard of that you find that the state of origin of the current head of the is being one by the opposition. but of course, the 3rd leg in the stick. so puzzle is the labor and labor being represented by the pre towel b as also according to the results emanating out of the correlation santana,

boucher claimed for states and those dates are nice that our all new good order as well as where we are right now. the state of labels, which is traditionally seen as the stronghold of general, a man who is seen as the invisible hand here, who continues to dictate how the machinations of power continues to happen in this state at the very least. and remember, this is important in the sense that it affects how the elections are red. no candidates are regardless of our much vote. they get can win the national elections if they do not achieve that 25 percent threshold in at least 2 thirds of the states in nigeria. that means they have to win at least 25 percent of $24.00 states in order to qualify to become president. and if that

criteria is not met, that means we are in for our re run of these elections, the pdp and labor as well as many others. while a party stays a walk out yesterday out of a boucher saying that they feel that the results emanating out of the correlation center really do not have any fan and do not have any legitimacy when it comes to how the state is read. but that is not the paul that we're finding out of apc, which of course is the leading in terms of number of things. one. and they're saying that the cow and the result announcements must continue as is because they feel that any of their grieve parties knows exactly where to go. should they have any grievances. and that was one of called is the nigeria is what

of justice? well, it is a big national turn out for nigeria. elections and ot is on the ground covering the voting process for the 220000000 people affected with oscar to have your company full this house program from moscow to our next door in our here on the program, a rushes diplomat. so to get law for off, he set to visit the indian capital for a meeting of g, 20 foreign ministers on wednesday, a international cooperation with a strengthening of the positions of the global south, the made a rising western pressure. all of this expected to be the very top of the agenda. r t correspondent regions shot emma has more details. law for all the wizard to india is extremely significant in the bank draw up a ruling. bilateral dies between the 2 countries. as western sanctions against

russia have meant that by default, corporation between the 2 countries have accelerated, aud relationship with russia, i think, has been extraordinarily steady. it has been studied through all the double ends and in global politics. so as i said, again, you know, the opposition, perhaps it's their job to criticize, it would be nice if they do it with a little bit more information than i could see in the us, russian all import search to a record in january in moscow ruins of top oil supply to new delhi, but it's not just energy. other sectors as well. for example, there's been a nearly 400 percent jump in russian merchandise and boards. now the 2 countries also in to continue working on facilitating trade in local currencies. now what could be discussed in the need is also approaches and cooperation of

existing institutions such as the f feel, bricks does me thing is one of the biggest events ahead of the final g 20 some made in september this year. and 4th, more the government for this meeting, the focus really will be on multilateralism, need for reforms and food and a mil g security. now the challenge for india is that these very real issues could be overshadowed by the western demand for india to condemn russia. something that we saw last week in the g 20 finance ministers meet in bang lou. it is our hope that india will use their influence with russia to support an end to this conflict. and as foreign minister j shankar has said end to the conflict according to the principles of the un charter. but in the of largely kept a neutral stance on the conflict. declining to be rochelle, for way to remember,

india has been seeking a solution to dialogue and diplomacy. india also consistently abstained from you and wards against more school diplomatic sources say that india will continue to maintain a neutral stance on ukraine. u. t. b sean. since the beginning of the developments and ukraine, india has insisted on resolving this dispute through dialogue and diplomacy. india is ready to contribute to any piece process. so india will have to walk in a tight diplomatic ra saw that on there. it's presidency. the foreign minister mean does not go the same way, but the g 25 minutes to meet there are say for example, the same outcome as the g 20 summit in bali in november. expose believe that in the role at the highest level will require a diplomatic balancing act like no, although for this week and for months to come,

i want, sorry, we're keeping an eye on here at odds. he is america, a secretary of state anthony blank, and he's visiting kazakhstan today as part of a c 5 plus one group that has exxon kits. don dykus don took my test on and was back his don. apparently he's a discussing regional security right along russia's board. read more about that at r t dot com. i mean time with ah, ah

ah ah, ah, ah ah, the 2nd will i think 2 millions of people during the conflict the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations.
