in ukraine, the chinese have presented your proposal and it is believed the u. k. france and germany are cobbling together a plan for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia? a new moscow and new jelly are consistent opponents of such neo colonial practice, even as a legitimate unilateralism threatening black notary, russia is top diploma highlights the importance of strengthening intercultural dialogue within the d. 20 group in order to find out or is to that challenge is that the world faces today. also ad on the program. the ruling parties can do that is the 3rd victorious and nigeria is presidential election. but questions are raised about the integrity of the pallet. with stung grenades, our fire does protest in gulf more cities around israel coming as anger over then

you government judicial reforms with live across the world around the clock. this is our take, great to have your company today. let's get to work with russia and india stand against neo colonial practices. the remarks of struggle abroad after meeting with counterparts in the indian capital i g, 20 foreign ministers conference must learn your very 1st year. the woodson, moscow and new delhi are consistent opponents of such neo colonial practice in illegitimate unilateralism threats, watermelon, and other types of pressure on sovereign state. there is no doubt that the strength, renewal of intercultural dialogue within the group of 20 objective contribution to the maintenance of trust to joint search for effective answer some of the numerous challenges of our time. if this is

a worthy response to those who would like to abolish their culture of countries who they do not like you, good or russia's foreign minister. i had lots of one on one meetings including with brazilian counterpart morrow. vieira that followed private talks with key is tough . diplomat also the indian foreign minister who's hosting the conference circle of ra, highlighted y, moscow, and new delhi stump together, which he described as a privilege strategic partnership with more. here is our tease india correspondent, region trauma, russian foreign minister, la ra, reach new delhi late last night, and his visit is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing up bilateral tries between new delhi and ma school. now of course, so as far as treat between the 2 countries is concerned or other factors as well, we seen that one all time high are but for the agenda for the foreign minister of

needs this week really is multilateralism food and energy security or the development corporation need for reforms for november more these government to show leadership on. but of course there are challenges that lie ahead for india to ensure. 7 that global borrowers, they really keep their focus on long term issues. for example, climate change, of course, food and energy crisis that al several countries are seeing right now. the continuing effects of the pandemic also, for example, all the them, the trying to the issue was all such house conflicts and global up and ship something to be so happened last week during the finance minister of me in bank lew, there was no consensus. there something that also remember happened in our g 20 summit in bali last november. now. 7 of course, so as far as this visit is concerned, it is extremely significant to far from the g. 20 foreign minister meet. they're

also going to be bilateral, that of course we going to keep track all saw about as far as in the l g. 20000 didn't, you can send it comes at a time or 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, at, in the all of them, there's going to be a time to play magic balancing act that will be required. of course, all today is going to be an informal day no later in the evening, but tomorrow is also a fall back schedule. and of course we're going to keep track of that. now closure or possibly not the race to take over the presidential reigns in. nigeria has been called with the ruling parties, candidate bullet to new book,

seeing off to me opposition hopeful in africa, most populous nation. hey, well, it's been fractious. now the electoral commission declared mister to new representing the center left the old progressive congress as president elect after he secured 37 percent of the ballot bouts, 8 percentage points and millions of votes more than his nearest rival. former vice president a t qu, abou buck car who claimed the election result current was rigged. the a p. c. describe that reaction as sour grapes urging about car on the labor parties . peter obee to concede with long time kingmaker, a bulletin new boo already haven't given his factory speech. ah, lay home food that you have for me as

a mr bullet to know who wins the most contested, and 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 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. that interval wins this election with a very, very fine and narrow margin of victory. having won some $8700000.00 votes,

which 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. ms. daniel, who was closely followed by article abra, one just i'm 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 f t 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 fed polling unit that was sent to that were meant to be transmitted electronically. because of the new bio matrix system that was to ensure that we have a electron that they were not transmitted to the i next server in a boucher and therefore the credibility of this particular set of results remains in question. a manual macro is on

a 5 day tour to africa, but many residents in the democratic republic of congo. his final stop are making it clear. the french precedent seemingly is not welcome. protesters gathered in the capital of kinship wielding signs, comparing the call to the m 23 in search in secret, in the country, which has been on the rampage in eastern bordering regions. that's wildly french embassy was spray painted with the messages. mac won't get lost on france is a murderer, not kind of sentiment has been growing across the continent up large with molly and per quino fossil also recently the mumbling the immediate withdrawal of french troops in a sign that he's perhaps heating the call before his departure president micron said he aim to improve by law for relations by making frances military quote less the knock of fighting intensifies in don't us,

the russian defense ministry says close to 600 ukrainian soldiers helping killed in the past 24 hours. some more developments on that, the frontline combat is happening across several areas with 15, ukrainian url, drones, 10 combat vehicles, and several pieces of artillery destroyed by russian troops. according to the m. o . d. that ministry said the most intense fighting is in the done yet. public where 300 ukrainian soldiers were killed are tease, eager sit down, off is in the neighboring new guns republic, following the russian advance. a warning, you may find some of the footage ahead disturbing. we are following russian special forces in the forest outside. criminy up the advance in february here was swift dead bodies. they are scattered all over the woodland, the 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 or come, could have live up. this particular soldier is a foreigner, documents allowed with them 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 because, but with a rabble of mercenaries who come here to die for a few extra dollars lay only. a few weeks ago the road we're 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 bronze where our positions are located and the enemies behind the field and we observe and destroy them. we will not do the noise of ukrainian machine gun cases this stale, humid air. russian soldiers respond with grenade launchers. soon we hear uranian soldiers unleash their assault rifles. they're trying to shoot down a survey is thrown, hovering above the pines. rushing from 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 rockaway, a bit of overboard. i have in my hands and advanced into drawn rifle phones with a directed pulse. it burns the electronics of enemy drones. with its what we can land drones to use them ourselves. if there is no way to land them, will we destroy that last the rams? major town of crimson naya is within a 10 minute drive. but soldiers around us can't afford to think such distances. for them, a few dozen meters is all that separates the place where they sleep from the place where they fight. a mac is done of reporting from the dumbass, r t. the death toll from a ship wreck off the southern coast of italy is rising. now reaching 67 people with children among the victims, while the ship carrying migrants broke up at the weekend, rescue operations are still under way in the search for survivors. our

t contributor rachel marston takes up the story pot between disastrous foreign policies of the west that up and at target countries. and on the other side, europeans were increasingly rejecting migration from the same countries are unfortunately, the migrants themselves, including children. 15 of whom have now been recovered in this latest disaster after setting sail from turkey and in capsizing just off the coast of italy's calabria. now each of these migrants reportedly paid between $58000.00 euros for traffickers is smuggle them into europe. and now it's getting increasingly clear that tom, the trick, carries a major risk of death, paying these traffickers to bring these people to europe. it's, there's no guarantee of anything, and they're certainly at risk of death. now these migrants include afghans, pakistani iranian syrians, somalis,

so there are different places impacted by western foreign regime. change policies that mostly harms the average person. and italians don't want these people reaching their shores, which is why they elected right ring prime minister, georgia maloney last year. now the italian parliament passed a new law on february 23rd to find charity rescue ships up to 50000 euros or even block them if they're caught hanging out in the waters looking for migrants to rescue. instead of sailing directly to an italian port without stopping, which is what they're supposed to do now. but the italian for a minister denies that the new law contributed to this latest disaster have listened to what he had to say. these are empty exploitations by those who have so far failed to offer real alternatives to illusionary journeys of hope that 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. this is really not a very good look for the european union, which is always preaching about human rights and humanitarianism, and is now trying to distance himself from this disaster. it's a clear case of a total lack of foresight on the part of europe when it engages in foreign wars or sanctions offending countries while failing to consider the long term consequences of the actions that it takes on these people. so in this case, that means migrants coming to europe to escape the misery, and then clashing with european citizens and who are fed up with it. and the policies that come as a result of that now a spokesperson for the e commission is talking like the you is trying to divorce itself from italy's treatment of migrates. have a listen. 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. the united nation says that the new italian law result in law lives and doctors without borders has already seen one is it ships find and blocked for 20 days. as a result of the new law, its director of programs in italy also commented on the humanitarian tool, directing his anger specifically towards 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, blamed game, yet another slap in the face of the victims and survivors of this tragedy. so let's

cut to the chase and put this tragedy. and as i, in the proper context, this situation can really be attributed to italy's lack of courage and spine to stand firm against nato's bombing and coup d'etat of libya in 2011. so 12 years ago, they didn't want to at 1st they didn't want to participate, but french president, leeker le, whose eat twisted their arm into participating in that operation. after then, secretary of state, hillary clinton, of the united states twisted sar posey's arm. so a chain reaction of arm twisting results in italy bang, dragged into it, and italy was worried that the french, by going in with the military footprint, would he jacked italy from its traditional resource rich stomping ground and former colony if it didn't participate as well? so they, over through libyan leader, mar gadhafi, who warned on french television. pretty much right before that if he went down,

italy and france specifically would be flooded with millions of migrants because libya played a role in securing and stabilizing the mediterranean. so 12 whole years after his overthrow the checks coming due, and here's the blowback. the president of beller bruce is in beijing, on an official state visit in a statement during a meeting there. alexander lucas shanker, expressed to his stumps on jonas global ro. this get those who 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 could neighborly, in ritual is beneficial developmental level. the coincides with the policy of melrose. we have never set ourselves a task of coming together to work against a 3rd countries. we do everything in the interest of our people. let's see g t,

n corresponded young shanks. she can take us through the significance of the trip now and what decisions were made regarding future corporation. president, she said the upgrade of the 2 countries relationship to an all weather comprehensive strategic partnership. last year we'll bring impetus to corporations in all area. you said china push towards really high quality development and modernization were presented 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 shackle praise. the president, she's leadership and stated his people is solidarity with the chinese people. now the 200 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, a comprehensive strategic partnership and the witnessing of the signing of cooperation documents, spanning trade industry, agriculture, and tourism. a former british foreign secretary has said he's hoping for a coup in russia. he made those comments to perv russians renown for eliciting candid remarks from politicians. that was my colleagues, marina customer of android shea talk through earlier the due had the former diplomat thinking he was speaking with ukraine's ex president petro parisha. go, here's william heck. of course, you never know when there will be some bigger crisis on the russian side. so it would be ideal if something. ok, if they, if they all may mutilate again, this is unlikely, as we know, we can rely on that. so, but now the judgement has to change or to,

i wrote this week to include longer range missiles, i mentioned a specific type of missile or could be supplied. and of course tanks should this apply to from germany and elsewhere. and i think some fighter aircraft as well the bricks will not change it policy without the united states without. ready agreements of the united states. so the, the key decision is still in washington. this isn't just the form or 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 shoots 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 a lot of mirrors. lensky traveled to the united states in december, because 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 bought. he says that is highly, highly unlikely. there are of course, voices of reason out there in the united states, not man. all right, 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 ukraine 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. marina, 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, who said that he has been forced to follow washington's lead, basically want to so many likely mean every one is in a rush to go on the offensive learn a hurry to get results no one is asking why when he told me to have a warren euro due to publicly considered not admit that he received news everything . if we don't step in line and i want it, and then they say that they want peace, but their peace 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. so we must give you credit what they need to prevent. 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 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 unless he has said they will die, god forbid. and we already know that the tie this change in the united states and was he in more and more people speaking out against all that money that has been poor than c ukraine. 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 it did in 20 years in afghanistan and iran. you put that. can you get your head around that and well know how that ended? the 7 people were killed and score is more injured. after a tropical cyclop reeked havoc in the african nation of movies on big on friday, subsequently, more than 20000 people have been displaced from their homes. early warning systems have alerted people in the region which gave them the chance to prepare for the consequences even without more than $80000.00 people have been affected, including residents of the island nation of a total of over $12000.00 homes were destroyed by the pounding wind and humanitarian relief from the united arab emirates has arrived, including $800.00 tons of food and water, as well as camp protests over wrapped

it in several is released with ease including tel aviv, where stun grenades, something fired a demonstrators. l. a flushed with the countries law enforcement protest her is blocked the main highway that connect televi, venture islam waving flies and shutting anti government. still the rallies across the country broke out. really officials proceed with a controversial judicial reform. it includes the right of ruling leads to limit the power of the supreme court, which currently acts as country violence to the executive search. israel's foreign minister has reacted saying the protests are lawless. we will not allow violence against police officers, the blocking of highways and the gross violation of the laws of the state. the right to demonstrate is not a right to anarchy. i give my full backing to the national security minister and the officers of the israeli police who are acting against lawbreakers who are disrupting israeli citizens daily lives. we spoke to it's really lawyer inactive as

raleigh. busy bar who believes the people are fighting, that proposed changes to the judicial system because once altered are extremely difficult to reverse. when they will have this dead judicial or a revolution. it's basically a revolution that will change the whole face of the country. it will not be a free country any more. this is the reason where on the streets, there is also a corrupted or the issues, a corruption issues. but when you put everything together, it makes a very said picture that we're all up against in israel violence. if you know sometimes a way of living, especially when you have the power over the police, this is a mistake, but the prime minister, at the dreadful mistake, as he always do, he tend to use force in the places that he shouldn't. he uses force as

a game law, how feasible is peace in ukraine and don bass this, your china has put forward a recent comprehensive plan to tackle that. but will the west listen and even supported cross talk the big snacks. ah ah ah

ah with hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. is it time to talk? 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 the u. k. france and germany are cobbling together a plan for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia? i cross sucking.
