fighting takes out nearly $600.00 ukrainian troops, according to russia's ministry of defense. with all right, to your politics, front and center. as we kick off this alice program live from moscow hick, i'm your stories on how to international quote, russia and india stand against neo colonial practices. those words from so okay, left off to meeting with his counterparts in new delhi has a conference with g. 20 foreign ministers kicks off wednesday. must learn, you really frustrated with the new moscow in new delhi, our consistent opponents of such neo colonial practices as illegitimate unilateral sanctions, threats, blackmail, and other types of pressure on sovereign states. there is no doubt that the strength, renewal of intercultural dialogue within the group of 20 objectively contract use

to the maintenance of trust or move the joint search for effective answers and look to the numerous challenges of our time. if this is a worthy response, took those who would like to abolish the culture of countries? they do not like you gordon rehab. that officer finished up a private meeting with turkey's health diplomat. coming off the side line talks held with the indian foreign minister who hosted the conference. now a rushes out for a minister highlighted why moscow and new delhi stand together against unwarranted measures. his aunty india correspond room jones shot him up with more details. russian foreign minister, la ra, reach, new delhi leech last night and his visit is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing by lot from tries between new delhi and more school. now of course, so as far as freed between the 2 countries is concerned or all the sectors as well, we seeing that want to all time high. but for the agenda for the foreign minister will meet this week,

really is multilateralism food and energy security. also development cooperation need for reforms for november, more the government to show leadership on. but of course, there are challenges that lie ahead for india to ensure the global followers they really keep their focus on long term issues. for example, climate change of force, food and, and g crisis that several countries are seeing right now. the continuing effects of the fan demik also, for example, rather than the transitory issues such as conflicts and global up and ship. something that we saw happen last week during the finance ministers, me in, bang lou, there was no consensus there. something that also remember happened in our g 20 summit in bali last november. now. 7 of course, saw as far as this visit is concerned, it is extremely significant to fall from the g. 20 foreign ministers meet. they're also going to be bilaterals, that of course we're going to keep

a track all saw about as far as in the l. g. 20000, then you can send. it comes at a time of a global kills global locks, really. where the world, paul, both all divided all the russia you cream complete, and therefore it becomes a little a tricky for india, but like the prime minister of the country, you said it wants to play the role of a problem solver. also, of course, in the all of them, there's going to be a time to play magic balancing act that will be required of school. so all today is going to be an informal dino later in the evening, but tomorrow is also a follow back schedule. and of course, we're going to keep track with that. let's get to the lakers now from night. here is a presidential election that has seemed a bit controversial right now because the ruling parties, candidate bowler to nubile, has clenched a narrow victory over to opposition hopefuls and africa most populous state.

however, questions have been raised about the results of the vote. with the electoral commission has declared mister to new bu, from the center left old progressives congress party or a p c. as the president elect with 36 percent of the votes. but it's just 7 percentage points higher than the runner up fueling claims. the election could have been rigged. now to do who has attested the election was credible. he expressed gratitude to his support as in his victory speech, a dash, a, as the experience of a mr bullet to know who wins the most contest that by far the most

a cru monia of elections here in africa's largest democracy. in recent times, people here are really over the machinations of how far we have come with regards to some of the complaints that have been lloyd deal legitimizing this elections. and they're going as far as to say that they're hoping for a move post this acrimonious us elections. and they're hoping for a better economy. they're hoping for more money in their pockets. they are hoping that they will move on. that interval wins this election with a very, very fine and narrow margin of victory. having won some 8700000 volts. rich have which will cost here. mind you, me. this was a country that had some 92000000 voters here that were registered,

but only 24000000 vote was said to be valid. miss daniel, who was closely followed by optic, who abba, one just on the 7000000 votes here. and he was representing the peoples democratic party. and they were followed by the labor party which only managed some $6100000.00 of votes here. but one thing is for certain as much as nigerian laws stipulate that a candidate must win 25 percent of $24.00 states, that's at least 2 thirds of the states. it also stimulates that the winning candidate must attain 25 percent of the f. the t, the fcc is the federal capital, a territory, and that is where most attainable has fallen a shot. we expect the opposition to go to court. we expect the opposition to decry

the fact that this was not a free and fe elections to say that vote is way intimidated that they did not see transparency. and also that the results from the polling units that were sent to me that were meant to be transmitted electronically. because of the new bio matrix system that was to ensure that we have a fe electron that they were not transmitted to the i next serve in a boucher and therefore the credibility of this particular set of results remains in question. it is on to international soccer, to happy with us as the president of bella, ruth's alexander lucas shanker right now in beijing, on an official state visit in a stipend. during one of his meetings, the leader expressed his views on china's global roll. this kiddo,

so wouldn't it without china today, it is impossible to solve any issue on our planet. the recent proposal of chinese president jim ping on peaceful development on our plan on avoiding sanctions on good neighborly, mutually beneficial development fully coincides with the policy of belarus. we have never set ourselves the task of coming together to work against 3rd countries. we do everything in the interests of our people. let's find out what this is all about here, an art international oven out a, c, g, t, and correspond yang, shang g. joining us here on our t international a very well welcome to you. thanks so much for coming on the program. what do you think? it's a big, big visit look a shanker on his 2nd day visiting beijing. how's it going so far and, and any idea on any agreements between the 2 partners, of course, to the chinese president, jim ping, how the meeting with the visiting by the russian president, alexander gosh, ankle in the great hall of the people business. she said the upgrade of the 2

countries relationship to an all weather comprehensive strategic partnership. last year we'll bring impetus to co operations in all areas. he said china, it's pushed towards really high quality that development and modernization will present it great opportunities to all countries, including by the roots. now the 2 heads of states also discussed the ukranian situation. president, she said, china's position has been consistent and clear and advocating for a peaceful resolution to the conflict through political means and the scoring of cold war mentalities he called for relevant countries to end up with this citation of global economy and politics and really focus on resolving the crisis here president lucas jenko agreed with china's position. now the meeting concluded with the signing of a joint statement on the all weather comprehensive, strategic partnership and the witnessing of the signing of cooperation documents, spanning trade, industry, agriculture, and tourism. i so look are sankoh in beijing, it's day to right now. obviously we've seen the pictures. it looks like

a very friendly visit, but what about the people of china? how is this trip being perceived by those in china? while the trip has been generally positively received on the internet and on the press as the both countries have long enjoyed a really friendly relationship. president lucas shinkel was a, for example, welcomed by a $21.00 gun salute at 10 am and square and the banquet at the great hall of the people. now, in the bilateral meeting president, she highlighted the 2 countries, quote unquote, unbreakable friendship, and urged for a strengthening of mutual trust. and he appreciated, beller, bella, ruth, the support of china stances on issues of taiwan hong kong seems young and human rights and said that both sides should strongly support each other's develop pounds and stand against external interference in internal affairs. now president lucas shinkel praise president. she's leadership and stated his people is solidarity with the chinese people. what about, i mean when you,

when you look at bella rose to china and russia, for example, both countries have experienced extreme international pressure as of late. and he, we have lucas shanker in beijing, as i said, a very warm, friendly meeting has to, has them meeting drew on any criticism that you might be aware of. while this is a quite a complicated issue, chinese experts have said ahead of the trip that bell ruth is in a delicate position as it is subject to political, military and economic pressure from the west. despite not directly engaging india, russia, ukraine conflict. china has previously already express opposition to illegal unilateral sanctions on by the rules. and the reason criticisms really mainly come from western media, many of whom adding a context of geopolitical confrontation to the state state visit. but based on the information i received today, most of the outcomes have been really on economic o opperation, president lucas,

a firm today that the cooperative relationship between china and bell, the rose is really intended to benefit both peoples and is not aimed against any outside parties. what about the, the implement implementation of a joint bilateral projects, obviously that i could see some, some conversations going on there, and they're going to be investing in the future for both countries that going to be getting contracts signed between both parties. but what's the forecast regarding the implementation of joint bilateral projects? yes, in the meeting president, she mentioned, for example, with a china bella. ruth industrial park, which is a cornerstone project of the china proposed belt ro initiative in bell roofs. now in 2022, the net profit of enterprises in the park kit, around 13 and a half $1000000.00. it now boost over $100.00 companies with 19 of them struggling in just last year. now in the meeting previously look, shinkel assured that the roof is active participation in the belt and note at belt and wrote initiative. so this is one of the areas that analysts expect to grow in

the future. all right young. she see gt and correspondent, joining us life or on our team to national really appreciate that. thanks for your time. as fighting does intensify in don bass, the russian defense ministry says that nearly 600 ukrainian soldiers have been killed by the russian military in the past. 24 hours a russian defense ministry has stated that more than 15, ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles will also destroyed in the past day. adding that the russian army destroyed more than 10 combat vehicles and several pieces of artillery. it says that the most intense fighting isn't done yet. republic nick craft normally mind where russian troops took out more than $300.00 ukrainian soldiers. eager to don offers and the new guns republic following the latest russian advance a warning, you may well find this report. disturbing we are following russian special forces in the forest outside. criminy, i am the advance in february. here was swift dead bodies. they are scattered all

over the woodland. they line up the roads like this guy. he was a middle eastern mercenary, judging by the documents that were retrieved on him. the ukrainian command, his ukrainian comrades simply didn't have time to take to extract this body. concord at live up this particular soldier. as a foreigner, documents were found with him and they were transferred to relevant authorities. his nationality is from an arab state, which proves once again that we are not fighting with the people of ukraine, but with a rabble of mercenaries who came here to die for a few extra dollars. i only got a few weeks ago. the road were following was the exact geographic line separating the 2 armies. not any more. when the russian airborne troops came, keep soldiers didn't even have time to think. so the very soldiers who fought over the control of these positions, they shared some interesting insight into how they managed to capture these trenches in foxholes. basically the russian positions they were maybe 50 to 80

meters away from here behind the road. and so at night while they took the enemy by the element of surprise, and you can see the result of the onslaught dead ukrainian soldiers and well, the russians are now fully in control of this part of the forest. the front hasn't moved far from this place. this airborne unit is the cornerstone of russia's infantry fist here with just the whimsy. but we are now in the fronds where our positions are located and the enemies behind the field we observe and destroy them . today, the noise of a ukrainian machine gun pieces the stale, humid air russian soldiers respond with grenade launchers. ah, soon we hear ukrainian soldiers unleash their assault rifles. they're trying to shoot down a surveillance drone hovering above the pines. russian troops here have a more efficient weapon against this type of threat. so this is one very interesting trophy that i hold in my hand. this drone used to belong to the

ukranian army, but the russian special forces they did shoot it down with a special anti drone gun. he concedes brains have been completely melted by the electromagnetic waves from a bit of overboard. i have in my hands and advanced and to drone rifle phones with the directed pulse. it burns the electronics of enemy drones. with it. we can land drones to use them ourselves. if there is no way to land them, we destroy them. of that i'm major town of crim in naya is within a 10 minute drive. but soldiers around us can't afford to think in such distances. for them, a few doesn't meet his is all that separates the place where they sleep from the place where they fight. i'm a gets done of reporting from the dumbass r t for several us at defense officials of testify that the government is keeping a very close eye on the funding center. kia, also admitting the number has grown to more than $100000000000.00. as comments were

made during the 1st open hearing on oversight of u. s. military a to ukraine. and you tell us roughly how much money has been given total to the ukraine war effort since we began last year? well, it depends a little bit how you count it, but i believe it's over a 113000000000 approximately this policy is not without risk. i think we all know that 1st of all, it is costing an enormous amount of money on terms of tens of billions of dollars. why you still believe this is the correct policy to support ukraine in this war? what the implications are for our own national security because i think is a legitimate question, the american taxpayer you'll why are we spending money? it seems like a long way away, you know, and not to be overly crass about it. but a lot of constituents ask the question, what's all this got to do with me is the responsibility of congress to ensure that every single penny of american taxpayer money is being effectively used as intended? well, we did provide hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance in the months leading

up to the war. and then of course con, actually if we really were rewind the clock, i mean, starting in 2014, we provided only non lethal aid until 2017. but officials, us or by the white house policy that the military support, the ukraine is justified and claimed there has been government oversight of the u. s. assistance since the beginning of the conflict. however, there have been numerous claim to the money in weaponry and not thoroughly tracked once they reach ukraine, which before the conflict wall is de facto reputed to be $1.00 of the most corrupt countries in europe. and u. s. republican congressman called into question whether controversial ukrainian groups such as the neo nazi as up battalion have received access to american weapons stone. the a's off battalion getting access to you as well, if it's not that i'm aware of. but if you have information i'd sander and sent enter into the record, the global times investigative report,

the indicate that talks about training itself from the atlantic councils. digital forensics, research lab, a citing these are baton was even get stuff is for back to 2018 without objection. so ordered any reason to disagree with that assessment because it's the, i'm sorry, is this the global times from china? no, this is well, that's what you read. yeah, it might be. yeah. would that be a reason why i think i'd as a general matter, i don't take beijing's prop a at the allegation is true or false. i mean, i don't have any evidence one way or the other as a general matter. i don't take beijing's propaganda at face value. well, it wasn't only the china based global times or pull to the pentagon official dismissed as propaganda. a similar report was issued by the nato back to atlantic council. now it said as off militants had been training with american weapons. years before the current conflict erupted, a former un weapons inspector scott ritter says the claims of having oversight over

the money being spent on ukraine only. and alice to do one thing that is to pacify the american taxpayer. i had to laugh when he said, you know, dealing with ukrainian corruption is at the top of the list notes at the bottom of the list. because if it was at the top of the list, you would never have given you train any money because you can't account for it. but the fact of the matter is, there's little doubt that 6070 percent of the financial resources that the united states provided to ukraine has disappeared, isn't getting to the intended target has been, you know, sequestered by the innumerable corrupt hands that are reaching out to, to be padded by american dollars in on the military side of, you know, again, noticed the, the non answers, you know, we were investigating, we don't have an answer. if you've been on top of this, from the very beginning, you'd have an answer. there are no answers because we're not on the top of it. and the reason why we're not on the top of it is because we wouldn't be able to do this

if the truth came out to the american people about how over $115000000000.00 of us taxpayer money has been squandered in ukraine. a former british foreign secretary has insisted that western nations need to send even more weapons to ukraine in order to fight russia. made those comments to a pair of russians were now in for eliciting candid remarks and politicians as they, while they had to form a different about thinking he was speaking to ukraine's former president. pet report shouldn't listen to this, but now the judgment has to change a thing too. i wrote this week to include longer range missiles. i mentioned a specific type of missile could be supplied. and of course time should this apply to from germany and elsewhere. and i think some fighter aircraft as well, the brits will not change it policy without the united states without agreement of

the united states. so the, the t decision is still in washington. the southern just the former, a foreign secretary, just dishing out his opinion in that clip. he actually says that he spoke to the current foreign secretary, the defense secretary, the prime minister of the u. k. and he said that they all agree that they need to arm or ukraine some more. they need to supply some more weapons bought that they need to convince all the countries to follow suit bought in particular, who the united states. because as he said, they are the ones that make all the key decisions when it comes to this conflict in ukraine. and he said that that is the only reason why latter mirrors zalinski traveled to the united states in december. because that those are the people making those critical decisions. so again, we can see what is happening behind the scenes. and what's incredible is that in that clip, rory, he also mentioned how it would be ideal if there was

a military coup in russia. but he says that is highly, highly unlikely. there are of course, voices of reason out there in the united states, not many rory, but there are some and some who are encouraging peace and returns to the negotiating table and no more supplies of weapons. and that america needs to bag down from this. i'm completely against the war in ukraine. i want to see it come to an end. i want russia and, and crane to come to peace talks and end this war. but, you know, who's driving it, it's america. american needs to stop pushing the war in ukraine. murder. what can we say about the european politicians at this point? i mean, are they all on the same page with washington? there aren't on the same page, but at the same time we can know how many on the same page because some i would assume are afraid to speak out because what happens when countries do speak out,

serbia, for example, it has refused to follow washington's. our policies and now we heard from the president of serbia himself, alexander, which has said that he has been forced to follow washington's lead, basically, and that they're threatening even economic or political consequences if serbia doesn't do what washington size. let's hear from mr. richard himself. resource not be too niche, that one is similarly mean, every one is in a rush to go on the offensive. they're in a hurry to get results, but no one is asking, why would they told me to have a war in europe to publicly? they did not admit that they say rules everything, if we don't step in line and i would have to possibly over so quickly. and he went further and even said that they basically threatened to terminate investments into the country with the draw funds that have already been invested. i'll close down companies and even suspend serbia's european integration. basically, you could say that as of that is black, mal rowley, america, punishing its friends and allies in europe for not towing washington's line exactly

. that success, you're going to withdraw dollars that have already been invested in the economy to bar other investments from going into the car. that's just, that's just astonishing to me. and then they say that they want piece, but their piece and their peaceful solution is basically russia weakens and defeated, they don't see any other way. and the way they see it happening as, let's arm kia with as many weapons as possible so that we can reach the sort of negotiated solution. whether that is even possible to give the ukraine at this point, as many weapons as russia. it would be hard to imagine that would require a lot of, again, coordinated effort in this is, i guess what we're seeing happening behind the scenes. there are trying to make sure that ukraine gets as many weapons as possible so that they get down to the solution that they want and even nato, the secretary general, we have, we heard from him and he's basically out there saying that there is no solution

that doesn't see russia defeated, it's either russia's defeated or nothing else, and they don't even mind risking more lives loss. so we must give you credit what they need to prevail. some worry our support to crim risks triggering escalation. but there are no risk free options. and the biggest risk of all is if president putin wins. but if we warmed a peaceful solution, we need to realize that what happens around that negotiating table is talk to depend on the strength of the situation on the battlefield. so meaning that if we want a peaceful, negotiate the solution where ukraine pervades as a sovereign in the pen nation. then we need to support ukraine military. now, what it sounds like is what they're really trying to achieve as a scare russia into submission. if it does, when you're trying to do,

make sure that they have as many weapons as russia to make sure that they come to some sort of a negotiated solution. russia has already basically expressed the terms and it's willing to come to an agreement to but the west, as we've heard before, it doesn't want zalinski or ukraine to come to the negotiating table. yeah, and you know, i was gonna pick you up a just in the past 24 hours or so. i was watching a video of ukrainian president zalinski, essentially saying that soon america will have to send it's sons and daughters to fight in ukraine. and jalencia said they will die. god forbid, i tell you what that got, comments going all around the world. are thou americans who are hearing that americans have been sending billions of dollars in cash and all these weapons to ukraine, and now they're zalinski saying it's never enough, but also you soon, you're going to send your children to fight in ukraine. it's really upsetting a lot of people and we already know that the tie, this changing and the united states, and we're seeing more and more people speaking out against all that money that has

been poor than c crane. and we don't even know where that money's go. into because they don't have anyone checking who is getting that money where the weapons are going. what the still, the scots are one year of his conflict in ukraine, america has spent more in one year than they did in 20 years in afghanistan. and iran. you put that, can you get your head around that and well know how that ended? a protests ruptured in several israeli cities including tel aviv. why stung grenades had been fired at demonstrators as a crashed with the country's law enforcement. a protector is a block. the main highway that connects television and jerusalem, and waving flags and shopping, anti government slogans. the demonstrations across the country have broken out as his railey officials are proceeding with a controversial judicial reform. and includes the right of ruling elites to limit the power of the supreme court, which currently acts as a counterbalance to the executive branch about rubbing up his ours live broadcast from moscow. thank you very much for joining us. you're getting your

latest out world stories from the international community. anything you may have missed, you know where to go. it's r t dot com. ah . is it time to talk and it would seem so the west rhetoric is at odds with hard realities on the ground in ukraine. the chinese have presented a proposal and it is believed buquet, france, and germany are cobbling together a plan for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia? amanda raheem, are you on the mall to noon? you had we had little for la cba i left to your daughter will be glad i.
