and in down boss, this whole time, this is, these aren't objects, these are people that and so that's why i do what i do. that's why i'm here. ah, moscow, a new jelly are consistent opponents of such neo colonial practices as illegitimate unilateral sanctions threats. blackmail, russia has called deborah about. so gallop highlighting the importance of strengthening intercultural dialogue within the g 20 group to find answers to the challenges the world is facing today. questions are raised about the integrity of nigeria, that torrell system as the ruling parties candidate now really secures victory in the presidential election. basically, russian positions they were maybe 50 to 80 means away from behind the road. he follows the advance of russian troops towards that major town of crimea. as intense

fighting takes out nearly $600.00 ukrainian troops. that's according to russia's ministry of different with . and as the multi polar will continue to blossom, there's an important meeting ongoing right now in new delhi with some of the globes most important foreign ministers. welcome to your new serenity, international, quote, russia and india stand against neo colonial practices, but those words from so glad it off after meeting with his counterparts in new delhi as a conference with g. 20 foreign ministers kicks off. must learn. you really frustrated with the new moscow and new delhi are 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 used

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 to those who would like to abolish the culture of countries, they do not like you goodman mister, left off as a finished up, a bilateral meeting with his brazilian count about motto, vieira that's come off to private talks with turkey's talk diplomat and also the indian foreign minister who is ultimately hosting the conference. i russia's, a foreign minister highlighted why moscow, i knew deli, stand together against what they call the west's illegitimate practices. less than more now from new delhi without ease dungeon shot, m. russian foreign minister allow raw reach, new delhi leave last night and his visit is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing by law from tries between new delhi and ma school. now of course, so as far as treat between the 2 countries is concerned, all, all the factors as well. we seeing that one of all time high. but for the agenda

for the foreign minister needs this week, really is multilateralism food and energy security. also, development corporation need for reforms for november more the government to show leadership on. but of course, there are the 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 course, 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 issue was all such as conflicts and global up and ship something the be so happened last week during the finance minister, me in, bang lou, there was no consensus there. something that i also remember happened in our g 20 summit in bali last november. now of course, so 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 bilateral, that of course we're going to keep a track all about as far as in the l. g. 20000 been to us concerned. it comes at a time of a global kills global flux, really where the world paul, both all divided all the russia ukraine conflicts. and therefore it becomes a little tricky for india. but like the prime minister of the country 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 d not later in the evening, but tomorrow is also a fall. will fax scheduled? and of course we're going to keep a track with the fact so i shifted to the african continent. now with the latest from nigeria as presidential election as the ruling parties,

candidate bola to new book has clinched a narrow victory over 2 opposition hopefuls and africa most popular state. however, questions have been raised about the result of the vote. with the electoral commission has declared to boot from the center left. all progressives, congress party, as the president elect, with 36 percent of the votes. while that's just 7 percentage points higher than has run a rop. it has fueled claims. the election may have been rigged, mr. to new content, the election was credible and express gratitude to his supporters in his victory speech. a dash, a. as a mr. bhalla i've

meant to know who wins the most contest that by far the most acrimonious of elections here in africa's. 7 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 loyal, de, legitimizing this elections. and they're going as far as to say that they are 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. mr. tina wins this election with a very, very fine and narrow margin of victory. having won some $8700000.00 votes, which have which will cost year 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. ms. daniel, who was closely followed by article about one just on the 7000000 votes here, and he was representing the people as democratic party. and they were followed by the labor party which only managed some thinks point $1000000.00 of votes here. but one thing is for certain as much as nigeria and 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. should 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 lead to polling units that was then 2 that were meant to be transmitted electronically. because of the new bio matrix system that was to ensure that we have a fe electorate that they were not transmitted to the i next server in a boucher and therefore the credibility of this particular set of resolve remains in question. it is on the international as fighting intensifies and don bass of the russian and ministry of defense says that nearly $600.00 ukrainian soldiers have been killed by the russian military. and just the

past 24 hours. rushers or defense ministry has stated more than 15, ukrainian, unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in the past day. adding that the russian army also destroyed more than 10 combat vehicles and several pieces of artillery. it says the most intense fighting is in the donnette republic, where russian troops took out more than $300.00. i should say ukrainian soldiers. parties eager to stand off is in the lucon square public following the russian advance a warning. you may 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 loop up this particular soldier. as a foreigner,

documents were found with him and they were transferred to relevant authorities. his nationalities 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 here, 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 fest here with just the whimsy. but we are now at 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. soon we hear ukrainian soldiers unleash their assault rifles. they're trying to shoot down a survey lens 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 recover from a bit of out of a book i have in my hands and advanced into drawn rifles 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. most of us, 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 get done of reporting from the dumbass. r t. the death toll from the devastating shipwreck of the southern coast of italy is rising. reaching $67.00 we understand with children among the victims or the ship. while it did break up on sunday, rescue operations are still under way in the search for survivors. we can learn more now live to her artes, or rachel mars, and for more on this rachel, good to see you. but tragic story indeed. what can you tell us about the aftermath of this a journey that went so badly wrong?

well caught between disastrous western at foreign policies that abandoned target countries and europeans. on the other hand, who are increasingly rejecting migrations from the same countries, are the migrants themselves and including 15 children who have now been recovered from this latest disaster off the coast of italy's calabria. each of whom paid between $58000.00 euros to be smuggled into europe. now these migrants reportedly include afghans, pakistani iranian syrians, somalis, so mostly places impacted by western foreign policy like regime change and foreign interventions. militarily, that mostly harm, the average person and italians don't want these people reaching their shores. so that's why elected they elected prime minister, georgia maloney last year. now the italian parliament passed in the law on february

23rd, to find charity rescue ships up to 50000 euros, or to have them blocked if they're caught hanging out in the waters looking for migrates to rescue instead of just declaring a port and going directly to it without stopping, but italian for a minister. well, he denies that the new law contributed at all to this latest disaster have. listen, these are empty exploitations by those who have so far failed to offer real alternatives to illusionary journeys of hope that put human lives at risk. there was no delay. those who relate this tragedy to the new rules out of ignorance or bad faith or line. it is a path where n jo's have never been. in any case, the new law does not provide for any ban on the presence in recovery scenarios or interventions. we limit ourselves to subjecting them to a regulatory framework that is also of international importance. it's

not a very good look all of this for the european union, which is always preaching about human rights and humanitarianism. it's a clear case of a total lack of foresight on the part of europe when it engages in foreign regime change wars or sanctions and ends up up ending countries while failing to consider the long term consequences of all of this. so in this particular case, that means migrants coming to europe to escape the misery and clashing with european citizens who are fed up with it. and here's the very sterile word salads served up in a seemingly total vacuum by and you commission spokesman in response to this horrible tragedy. the e u commission has a very clear policy when it comes to asylum and the right to asylum. people who find themselves in a dangerous situation have a legitimate right to seek asylum in a safe country, including the countries that make up the you. yeah,

didn't really get to the point or directly address this tragedy there. the united nation says that the new italian law will result in more lost lives and doctors without borders. so rescue and geo has already seen one of its ships find and blocked for 20 days. as a result of this new line, italy, its director of programs in italy, also commented on the humanitarian toil. and he directs his anger specifically at maloney and her interior minister. i say this with the respect that is due to the victims with grief or what happened and also with the firm intention as requested by premier maloney not to speculate on these tragedies. but we cannot help but say with anger that the 1st statements by prime minister maloney and minister piano dosier little more than a sad blame game, yet another slap in the face of the victims and survivors of this tragedy. all right, so let's put all of this in the proper context. this situation can really be attributed to italy's lack of courage to stand firm against nato's bombing and coo data of

libya way back in 2011. they didn't want to at 1st, but french president nicholas f cozy, twisted italy's arm into participating in the bombing of libya after then. secretary of state hillary clinton of the united states twisted sar cozies arm. so was just kind of a chain reaction of arm twisting. and italy was worried as well. by that point that the french were going to go in any way they develop and establish a military footprint that would ultimately eject italy from its traditional resource rich stomping ground. in its former colony, libya, so ultimately they all overthrew libyan leader mar gadhafi, who warned on french t v. just before that, that if he went down, italy and france specifically would be flooded with millions of migrants because

libya played a role he said in securing and stabilizing the mediterranean. so 12 years after his overthrow here is the blow back and it's challenging. yeah, that's right. a colonel gadhafi also said that islam will take over the european continent without a single sword being raised. our teeth are rachel mawson. thank you. ah, protests have erupted in several israeli cities, including television by stun grenades have been fired at demonstrators as a clashed with a country's law enforcement. the protesters block the main highway that connects tel aviv and jerusalem waving flags and shouting anti government slogans. the demonstrations across the country are broken out as israeli officials are proceeding with a controversial judicial reform. it includes the rights of ruling. it leads to limit the power of the supreme court, which currently acts as a counterbalance to the executive branch. when it's

a big get together or the president nobela roost. alexander lucas. shank. oh, he's right now in beijing on an official state visit in a statement or during one of his meetings the leader expressed his views on china's role in the world. vis. get those who would know without china today, it is impossible to solve any issue on our planet. the recent proposal of chinese president, she's in 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. while it's handed over now to our c duty and correspondent yang shang she who has details of the meeting and also information on decisions that have been made regarding future cooperation between china and bellows. president, she said the upgrade of the 2 countries relationship to an all weather a comprehensive strategic partnership. last year we'll bring impetus to cooperation

in all area. you said china push towards really high quality development and modernization would present great opportunities to all countries, including by the roots and said that both sides should strongly support each other's dival and power and stand against external interference in internal affairs . now president lucas shinkel praise the president, cheese leadership, and stated his people with solidarity with the chinese people. now the 2 heads of states also discussed the ukrainian situation. president, she's had china's position has been consistent and clear and advocating for a peaceful resolution to the conflict through political means and discarding of cold war mentality. the meeting concluded with a 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. a former british foreign secretary has insisted that western nations need to send 2 even more weapons to ukraine in order to fight russia. you make

those comments to a pair of russians. renown for eliciting can throw bombs from politicians as they had to form a diplomat. thinking that he was speaking with ukraine's former president, petra potter shank. 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 united states. so the, the key decision is still in washington. the southern, just the former, a foreign secretary as the ssion 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 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 lensky 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 back 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 is being 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, but you shouldn't be too niche. that wonderful mimicry 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, what they told me they have a war in europe to publicly. they do not admit that they say lose 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, are closed down companies and even suspend serbia's european integration. basically, you could say that as of that is black. mel rowley, america, punishing it's 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 account. thus just thus, 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 ukraine,

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 situational, the battlefield. so meaning that if we want a peaceful, negotiate the solution where ukraine pervades as a sovereign independent 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 that 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,

just going to pick you up or 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 its sons and daughters to fight in ukraine and jalencia said they will die. god forbid, i tell you what that got, comment scrubbing 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 heat. 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 well. the civil does not saw 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 so good to have your company for this program. 7 people, a passed away with scores more injured as a tropical cyclone reeked havoc when it slammed into the african nation of mose. i'm big. it was on friday when it hit that more than 20000 people have been displaced from their homes. early warning system loaded people in the region which did give them time a chance to prepare, even with that more than 18000 people have been affected, including residents of madagascar. local officials say over 12000 houses were destroyed by the wind and rain. as we understand, humanitarian relief from the united arab emirates has arrived with 800 tons of food and water, as well as temporary shelters for all of those affected by before we wrap up this, our program here on our team international, the red carpet in a well but at glitz and glamour, that's in the west african nation of but you know,
