12:02 pm
the around the clock across the globe. this is our t from the t myself. you know, neil hello and welcome to the news. our we begin in russia is brianne sc. reach and you're the ukrainian border for r. 13 say a terrorist group has attacked several villages. there being 2 people dead. and a child injured, president liber put has lay both beer, took an active term. he wouldn't feel sure they committed another terrorist attack, another crime when they entered the border, territory opened fire and civilians. they saw that it was a civilian car. they saw the civilians and children were sitting in it. these are the same people who wants to deprive us of our history, traditions and language. well, the area is currently being swept for additional explosive devices and mine clearance is underway. russian security services say the suspected terrorists were
12:03 pm
pushed back into ukrainian territory where they were then targeted with artillery fire in order to prevent further civilian casualties. ortiz rachel blevins can tell us this is being treated as a terrorist attack. the f s. b came out and said that the situation is under control by one forestman, but also noted that a large number of explosives have been found in the area in the browns region there today. now, so far the death toll is up to 2 civilians killed and one child wounded after a moving vehicle was fired upon by terrorist suspects in the brown region there near the border between russia and ukraine. let's get into a little bit about what we know. so far about those suspected terrorists who are responsible. so there have been a number of posts all across social media that we've seen. and those individuals claim to be members of a group known for engaging and military activities against russia. now, notably,
12:04 pm
while their nationality is russian, they are based in ukraine and have a history of carrying out attacks against russians as they notably took responsibility for the murder of daria duke and back in august. now, there are also some reports we've seen in ukrainian media, where the official representative of ukraine's intelligence services was quoted as saying that this was a case where the russians were waking up. and this is attack as some kind of protests against food. and now it's important to note here that the suspects were actually looking at have not only shown their loyal to ukraine. however, the one major suspect, the one main individual who has been pictured over and over again, is one who has actually bragged about having a ukrainian military id in order for the russian volunteer court to become a legal unit. i had to move mountains. i touched the hands of half of the top military brass in this country, politicians to an arrest of riches advisors and the deputy heads of the security
12:05 pm
service of ukraine, and so on and so forth. so i personally talked to scores of people before we really moved the mountain way. and now that individual has notably again at popularity as being an am a fighter. but he has not stay inquire about the neo nazi ideology that he believes in noting that he is gaining followers and trying to train them into some sort of white nationalist fighters. and also at the same time promoting some sort of clothing line with nazi link symbols on it. here's what was said in a recent biased news article, which was talking about his views and his clothing line in ran into view and getting his outline, his ambitious vision for white wrecks coordinate and all encompassing lifestyle brand. a sort of nike for nazis that promotes his old ugly ideologists something strong, healthy and inspirational. in recent years, the white wrecks logger includes a helmet warrior and circled by a black sun. an occult symbol that has been adopted by neo nazis. the logo has
12:06 pm
become an increasingly common site in european james fight clubs and football terraces. so certainly a lot of questions remaining about those suspects who are responsible for today's deadly attack. also on thursday, another village in the brians grecian was targeted by ukrainian mortar attacks. no casualties were reported, and in the neighboring kursk district reports of several rounds of ukrainian shelling, left one civilian dead and another injured. while on old off, let's welcome on to the program political scientist unsocial to just mark the boat of her his take mark. good to see you. the kremlin mixer has branded the attackers in the brians region. terrorists, would you agree without assessment? yeah, i mean, sabotage is what would be considered an acceptable active military conflict. but these particular individuals,
12:07 pm
they crossed the border in an on militarized area, presumably through the forest under cover of night. and they came up to a couple of villages, a population around a 180 with absolutely no military targets began shooting up the place like maniacs, firing on a passenger car carrying a father and 3 children. 2 people were killed and a 110 or 11 year old child was shot, but is currently in stable condition after this. they then planted some explosive devices, made a politicized propaganda video and fled that this is a tear a classic act of political violent political terrorism. and then when you get to the identities of those involved, 3 of those of who film themselves on this propaganda video led by denise the
12:08 pm
keaton, a known a neo nazi um, in russia with his, with his own neo nazi clothing bran, another alexei cashmere yaki and he is also a no, no, no nazi. he actually has a swastika tattoo on the left side of his forehead and he has previously wanted for stabbing ethnic minorities from the caucasus. and the 3rd korean kanaka that is a big den, a fide so far. he has previously served an a's off and he goes by the call sign in the ukrainian military in which they all serve as the solar ross, better known as the swastika. so the ideological odious ness of all these individuals who are all as part of the quote unquote russia volunteer corps,
12:09 pm
have been fighting for the care regimes military forces is on full display. and it really considering the large number of state arm than funded far right. neo nazi vander, i fascist battalions fighting for the giver gym. it's really no surprise. it should be pointed l i'd as well. mark should know that the village is struck, held no military forces, note or facilities, and not not appears to be coming or it has been in recent times. the norm. yes, there have been a whole string of attacks attempted sabotage attacks drone attacks in recent days. they chose for this one because the previous drone attacks didn't get through. they were all knocked down by air and missile defense and electronic warfare. they chose this one because it is the softest of soft targets. it is
12:10 pm
literally 2. the tiny little hamlets of villagers has no military value whatsoever because they knew that this, they would at least get through. and the goal here is to generate headlines to take away for the care of her regimes, forces being encircled and bought more. and the very eminent liberation of that city in the collapse of the camp regime defensive line. they have to maintain a propaganda narrative of winning and striking back. and that is what this is all about. and to a certain extent, they succeed in because they've grabbed headlines and we're talking about it. and president putin had previously ordered, of course, an increase in security measures in boarder regence. just to props, follow on to what you're saying. is it support surprise? i know you're talking about their small hum. let's easy targets, but is it surprising overall that ukrainian group such as these managed to get on to rush and hurt? no, not really. i mean, it isn't a norm. it is
12:11 pm
a very larger order, large parts of it. they crossed in an area, not in heavy crossing area where, where there are border post and everything they crossed through, or it's in the middle of the night. and frankly speaking, there are some 5000000 ukrainian refugees in russia, right? it is very easy to sneak sabot tours and terrorists through that. the russian f as bay has done a very good job. i'm constantly hearing reports of them stopping back such action as, as the russian air and missile defense and electronic warfare defenses. but some attacks when so many are being conducted, one most assuredly get through. they don't have any strategic military value. they're not going to change the course of the war, but as political terror like this, the classic example, its goal is to inspire fear and hoping to create political unrest in russia.
12:12 pm
however, considering that this incident has led to call from within the state duma for russia to declare war on ukraine as a result of this through to move out of the self restricted special military operation designation. i don't think it's going the way that they wanted it to. ok mark, as always, thanks for the 3rd breakdown. we appreciate your time today. mark boda, international security specialist. russia is top diplomats has criticized what he calls. the western neo colonial mind says of pushing its own interests as being beneficial to the world. the comments were made out a media conference following a g 20 foreign ministers meeting in new delhi, sir glover off father, that developing countries are aware of the u. s. lead tactic, but believe such an approach has reached an impasse more loss quicker than the
12:13 pm
school. the west is aware that the current approach has reached an impasse. they say that that is necessary to inflict a strategic defeat of russia. and that is an existential problem for them. they are attempting to preserve their head, your money in the international arena. but developing countries see and understand all this perfectly. the big new as the day really is that there was no meeting of minds of yoga bava's and there was no consensus, no joint community could be adopted. now india, of course, has released a chance summary and outcome documentary on the foreign ministers meet in new delhi . i'm talking russian diplomats, lovegrove held a press conference just a while ago here to new delhi. in fact, he's a blamed the west for not being able to come out with that joint statement of that was expected dot net as far as you green is concerned. that really was the something you're walking all the conversations and that's where the global leaders
12:14 pm
will really divided a. but apart from that, dave is one point where there was some sort of consensus as mentioned by level there, which is multi lateralism c m t m agreement has been reached and all of the issues that were on the g 20 agenda. this includes seeking true multilateralism and strengthening the position of developing countries. in particular, it was agreed that the african union will be a full member of the g 20, as the e. u has been for several years just now. multilateralism was one of the top agendas for communist editing them with these government to show new leadership on in fact, apart from that as their law on the things on the agenda as well. of course, food insecurity, crises being one of the important agenda. but of course, some, as far as this divide is concerned, that the both the sides were really harden and each was really difficult to measure . there was a bunch of data, a lot of also in that press conference, he held
12:15 pm
a said as after a west also tried to block, although russian demands rush. but his leave them which the were we called for the document to reflect the need for an impartial, honest investigation into the north stream attack. but it was categorically rejected by our western partners because of their position. the g 20 declaration was blocked. you remember how the west reacted to the hearse? revelations, they said it was nonsense, but we won't let them sweep it under the rug, the total. so in the foreign minister, some need to day in new delhi, you have several issues concern to ukraine. config and other divergence as well as that in fact could not be reconciled, but a score some as far as at the top, a diploma. i'll from russia who made a was a t. he also said that the west is responsible for manipulating the was market
12:16 pm
prices, socially new, new throttle. so the west unfortunately, has not given up its neo colonial habits. everything that is done now is to make the world economies subservient to the interests of the west. and there are neo colonial practices. this includes sanctions and attempts to manipulate prices in the world markets. for example, setting a price cap on oil is stealing other people's natural resources humanly. it also includes the manipulation of the rules of world trade within international trade organizations or radio. no, as loves of hell, the fest conference here in new delhi. finally, the indian foreign minister also had the press conference where he spoke about how a joint statement or a join to communicate could not come to. of course, india will still continue to be the problem solver that it sees itself as i remember this event, the g 20 foreign ministers. me to was one of the biggest events before as the final
12:17 pm
summit, which will take place in september this year. and this really was the pre call, sort of sorts to what could happen in september. same lines oh on what we saw happen in barley last year or but of course, saw as i understand, the indian side sees that it when i try and continue to be the problem. solar as it sees itself to be the european union is set to present a plan aimed at boosting the blocks munition production capabilities in order to increase deliveries to ukraine. that's according to the german daily der spiegel, this through how europe is preparing to dive even deeper. it seems into the ongoing ukraine conflict. let's cross live to r. t contribute are rachel marson. rachel, good. the see you. yet. what does this reported? plans signify, in terms of the use approach to ukraine. cut it suggest europe itself is preparing for war. well, what it suggests,
12:18 pm
it really looks like europe is trying to get in on some of that military industrial complex profit action that washington has been enjoying using ukraine is a convenient pretext. who needs peace when a plan to settle in for the long term armed conflict. is so much more profitable. so this new 3 prongs plan concocted by the european commission is supposed to help both the e. u and ukraine. and here's how they're presenting it. the fundamental problem is tackled the rapidly decreasing ammunition stalks of e u countries, and that inadequate supply production capacities to be rapidly increased. so for the details, the ne grade, the proposal involves giving ukraine ammunition that european countries say they already don't have enough of already. and also placing bulk orders of new
12:19 pm
ammunition for both block countries and for ukraine, kind of like when a bunch of friends i'll get together and decide to order pizza because it's cheaper to buy more of them like 3 for the price of $1.00 except with bullets instead of with pizza and with one guy who isn't reaching into his pocket at all to pay his share and back i would be ukraine. and the 3rd point of this plan is to ramp up military industrial production of ammunition. but of course, it's not like that's going to happen overnight knowing the bureaucracy the block probably needs to 1st do an impact study to assess the carbon footprint of massive bullet production. probably also has to do a gender impact assessment. things like that little details to getting away. in the meantime, some of the wealthiest e countries have been saying that they aren't in a very good position to defend themselves, not even germany, that's according to its own government. have
12:20 pm
a listen. we do not have an army which is capable of defending the country against a military offensive, a brutal war of aggression. brittany seems to not be in very much better shape either the chairman of its defense select committee said back in january that the u. k. was quote, now at war in europe, but with outdated equipment. way to put the cart before the horse or the conflict or war before the weapons. by the way, it's kind of a weird thing to publicly admit. look, we're vulnerable. so what's that all about? well, for months now, here in western europe, we've been hearing this narrative about europe being on a war footing, which is what happens when you follow washington into armed conflict, which was a deliberate choice by europe. let's not forget. but now they're pretending that it was pretty much imposed on them. they're just victims of circumstance. german foreign minister and elinor bare box said that european countries were at war with
12:21 pm
russia, but that was before pulling her foot out of her mouth and walking back her statement . but even way, back in june of 2022 french president emanuel mac hall said that france had to enter a war economy, meaning more taxpayer funds diverted to the military industrial complex. so that was already a bit of a clue. this was coming down the pipe on mass in the you. now a war economy and the diversion of resources to support that war is exactly what the citizens of the same countries do not want. judging from recent protests in places like france, germany and italy, a it's a disaster that germany delivers the weapons into so it is well, this was look over all freedom and peace is only possible if the germans,
12:22 pm
because independently from america ah, forbidden to talk about the conflict in ukraine is, is annoyed. conflict, it's in the 2014. and if you say that you are not see, ah, i support the ukraine. i'm the russians who a bit to an american proxy, what the west and nato should be asking ukraine to join the stocks and negotiations . mm. okay, so maybe european countries are just vulnerable, sitting ducks and want the entire world to know that fact. or maybe they're using the ukraine conflict as an excuse to divert
12:23 pm
a bunch of cash to weapons while the still can, if peace breaks out, how they possibly justify funding for this new war machine that they're playing up and paying up. well, looks like they have that covered as well, because now they're saying that even beyond ukraine, europe needs to stock up for war on its own soil. but there's no outcry from the average citizen here in europe about an existential threat. any existential threat that we're at such a massive diversion of resources from their everyday needs? yeah, very interesting points as always, res rachel, thanks for that art contributor rachel marston. i rarely been so disturbed and heartbroken outside the world health organization chief as described his visit to syria in the wake of last month. devastating earthquakes, he's called on the international community to help those has been effective even
12:24 pm
before the big needs were increasing. while international aid was decreasing, but we must not close our eyes or turn our bucks on the city and people. we cannot let this be a forgotten crisis. i call on the international community governments. philanthropies, individual needs to dig deep to lift up. those who are enduring might have been loss. poverty. and the provision or something else of note to point out egypt was among the 1st countries to dispatch humanitarian aid, to syria, with the foreign minister visiting the country and expressing solid doroty with their brotherly people. his trip is the 1st of its kind since the 2 nations cut diplomatic ties after the soon end are spring and 2011. earlier, a delegation of high ranking r, a parliamentarians ultimate with the syrian president, demonstrating a full and regional relation. western leaders,
12:25 pm
though generally haven't shown the same level of commitment with washington for one preferring to focus on its political disagreements with shar, unless the resolution applauds the work of humanitarian aid and rescue workers on the ground and condemns the efforts by the ash had regime of syria to exploit the disaster to evade international pressure and accountability, including by preventing the united nations from providing assistance through border crossings between turkey and syria. for news editor of the cradle current 1st side as the banker, real believes the u. s. response to the natural disaster has seriously damage washington's ability to construct its own. normative on syria, washington has maintained and thought her to be on the asked. they have mundane that their war is only there to protect civilians even though the war and the sanctions have cause exponentially more damage than these earthquake ever could. so
12:26 pm
maybe maybe while maybe they're the only surprise i can, my washington was the earthquake itself because the good and the good and hide behind behind their, their obligations anymore. they couldn't hide behind these periods. we only want to blame for their calamity when to be 12 years of a western back war that has made the country anything that us could do before these . it doesn't call that much weight anymore it's. it's not an equal relationship that we currently live on. the side is a relationship based in dominance from those who again, those who have not. so i think i think that what we're seeing and i think this is where we're heading. even in the west. i refuse to accept that even if they will continue to from other idea of their way, their way and the only way possible. we'd, everybody across the world pieces across the global south, we see it and we realize that things are not changing. things already changed. it is the result of what is a way me,
12:27 pm
us influenced in the region west asia and the failure of their policies. and these, these new what we call maybe the end of western gemini, across the world. and our leader is what they have shown here because reproach meant which syria started before the earthquake and the leaders in the region there recognize that. and they're re aligning and they're taking their spots for what is to become a new multi ball or work order. ok, we in the news hour in a room where more than a 100 school girl is helping hospitalized across the country with breathing problems after another wave of a parting toxic gas attack. so the 1st report of such incidents began in november and mystery still surrounds who are what might be responsible r t contributor use of jelly takes us through the latest findings. well, the mysterious wave of poisoning iranian girls is trying to send some jitters
12:28 pm
across the country, starting to confuse panic. families prompting many of the iranian families to stop sending their girls to schools. well, over the past 3 months, hundreds of iranian school girls have been sent to hospital over their exposure to some unknown poisonous materials. well, the intention behind that supposing wave a steel unknown hooley suppose any, be a warning girls are still on. know the warning government has formed, of course, an investigation committee to launch a probe into the instead and try to figure out who is responsible for poisoning iranian school. girls were these hidden 1st took place in november, back in november in the city of warm were 50 erewhon in school girls fell ill. they were hospitalized due to exposure to some mysterious poisonous material toxic material. now, who is responsible for those incentives to still unknown?
12:29 pm
the iranian health ministry also formed a special committee to try to figure out what that poisonous material is, but uh, the real intention behind these and is still an issue of debate across the country and even beyond. the country by some are form base india outlets war, saying that some people in erewhon are trying to keep girls from seeking education . but the one in government, these on the public says that it's a smear campaign launched by some antique iran activists from outside the country trying to tarnish the image of these la mac republic. so we have to wait and see board that investigation committee both take us as we hear reports that one person today was arrested in the city of shine, shahan, central iran in connection with the issue. so the image is starting to get clear as the investigation continues by the iranian government. barely
12:30 pm
a year has gone by this century without either a popular uprising or a violent revolution occurring in nations all across the globe. but is there a singular common theme to the rebellion? that's the question our documentary team gets into next stage. ah, ah.
