i don't by done it contradicts what i see. the basic logic of behavior puts on the phone. the chinese state, ah ah, russian troops close in on the city of buck moved off to almost. he examines the destruction calls in the dawn bus ukrainian troops build critical infrastructure to hinder the russian advance, a neo nazi group, there claim responsibility for a deadly attack in a russian border region says the incident was coordinated with ukrainian military around denies international atomic energy agency accusations that have enriched uranium near weapons grade levels of un watched of business to run them. it concerns over the nation. there are 2 with china says the country seeking to impose

their own laws upon the nations of the quote. to fully english shall not be tolerated. with 3 pm on saturday afternoon, here in the russian capital, i'm peter scots, and here's how the world is looking as we headed to the weekend. thanks for joining us. we start off with the latest developments in the dom bus. the leader of the wagner private military group says that russian forces have essentially surrounded a stronghold of ukrainian troops in the dungeons republic. now this comes after a number of advances by russian troops in the area. the wagner groups leader claims that are not many professional ukrainian soldiers left in the fights you created. army has reportedly been destroying critical infrastructure, several bridges in the dumb to hinder the russian and circumvents of the city of backwards watch. almost the ukrainian military has also destroyed infrastructure and industrial sites when withdrawing from other areas in the dumbass artes. eager

to down of went to see a factory that ukrainian troops destroyed middle ganske region. no conventional weapon is capable of dealing this amount of instantaneous damage. for underground floors were hidden, he underneath a 9 story building. it is truly hard to tell what this structure looked like before the departure of ukrainian soldiers, but locals who had to co exist with key of troop se, well, they did all this to literally bury their secrets. this once used to be a cold storage plant. cave troops reaped full benefits of its facilities. absolute safety provided by the underground levels made the facility into a perfect hospital for the wounded. until it was time to leave little hobble as well. there were a lot of them here, mostly wound up to 200 people and 160 people killed one and then they ended up blowing it all up. and there was even a soldier working by crying. well yeah, he said 3 of my comers were wounded and blown up there though he walked away still

crying. but what can you do? the blast wave wiped out the whole row of houses adjacent to the plant. local say it felt like an earthquake. no, it was like a huge explosion. this whole side was covered in dust. then when we went out to see what happened, we saw everything was destroyed. there's a house opposite across the street where deborah came through the roof and broke through the hole. it's the same here. all this site is suffered and those houses are destroyed. it is a nightmare. the ground is covered with rubble and green packaging from ukrainian and european army rations. but while soldiers enjoyed an abundance of food, ordinary citizens had to scavenge. the said, though, the situation with food was very bad. my daughter sent supplies through some one. the car then came and shed food with us. beside that, in general, no one shed anything at all in a basement,

not far from the plant with discover more traces of ukrainian troops who were once stationed here. ama crates potentially left for pro key of sleeper cells and outdated military maps, neighbor with propaganda, literature. and here in the basement right next to children's books like this one, learning to write with darcia in russian. by the way, there's an encyclopedia on ukraine's new nazi battalions. and of course here on the front cover, they're called volunteer groups. and the notorious as of battalion, well, it sits here modestly in the top right corner, which does put things into perspective. every single emblem here belongs to separate group to a separate battalion. and as of like, new nazi battalion, there were truly glorified in ukraine since 2014. they literally had books written about them. i'm a get done of reporting from the dumbass r t. or meanwhile, russian defense minister said j shawyer has visited the done yes. republic to

inspect the troops on the ground. now he was briefed by the military commanders, as russian forces are ramping up and offensive towards the southern town of ogre dar, during his visit, show you also of water, some of the soldiers with medals and thank them for their service. this comes as moscow says that more than 90 ukrainian troops were killed in the against region. in addition, 3 ukrainian helicopters were falsely shot down and an anti air defense guidance system destroyed. move all the head of an extremist group that attacked civilians in russia's bounced. b, jeanette ukrainian border says the incident was coordinated with ukrainian military, a dentist. the keaton, a profess neo nazi whose men killed 2 civilians made those comments to the british newspaper. the financial times. yes, of course, this action was agreed. otherwise, it couldn't have happened. had you imagine that i passed through the dark of night there. there were in mind bridges there, a cameras heat seeking drones there, hidden open observation points. if i did not coordinate it with any one in ukraine's military,

i think we would simply be destroyed. but then it's the key thing is a founder of the so called russian volunteer coal, which consists of russians fighting for the ukrainian armed forces. he was born in russia, the son of a jewish family that emigrated to germany and special rules for relocating individuals with jewish ancestry. he got involved with a football, hooligan group and when he returns russia as an adult, he starts at a clothing brung that. so products with neo nazi symbols is activities were closely monitored by both european and russian authorities. later he moved to ukraine where he's been living for around 6 years. non he keeps in told the financial times that these men conduct the attack this week to inspire ukrainian compatriots to invade russian surgery. the ukrainian presidential adviser has rejected an official involvement and said it was a rush propagation to escalate the conflicts. but russia's president for the may putin so that it was a terrorist attack on civilians. she wouldn't assume sheila actually committed another terrorist act. another crime they entered the border territory,

opened fire and civilians. they saw that it was a civilian car. they saw that civilians and children were sitting in a guy's desk. these are the same people who want to deprive us of our history, traditions and language. just to say you through thursdays, attack rational authorities, say that the group of ukrainians and bust a civilian vehicle in which is brianne region that's near the ukranian border. the gunfire killed 2 people and wounded a child. the following is footage released by russia's federal security service after the deadly incident. and a quick warning you may find the following image is disturbing. and you can see here, car that's been riddled with bullets. several explosive devices were discovered after a search of the area versus defense ministry has said that the majority of the weapons used were supplied ukraine from nato countries. raising a question of whether members of the alliance could be regarded as sponsors of terrorism. national authority say the militants who conducted the attack were pushed back into ukrainian territory and eliminated by intense artillery fire. we

heard from the former u. s. air force left tenant colonel, and she says that western powers no longer seem to care about extremist groups and ukraine despite their own rising domestic concerns about neo nazis. them. it is a little bit surprising, particularly as he is. he is a neo nazi and a well known neo nazi throughout the west. and he's listed on the anti defamation league as an american group that monitors hey groups. he's listed there for exactly what he is. so i was surprised that it's an organization like the financial times was even interviewing him. they used to be very sensitive about that, i guess. now they're not, it is surprising that they kept it in there, particularly since that's one of the weaknesses that zalinski has in the west. and he is supported by a's of he is supported by neo nazis in ukraine and elsewhere. that's an area that we don't like to explore and maybe i guess we don't care anymore. maybe the west is. it doesn't really matter. it's, it's kind of

a sign of not just desperation in the war, but desperation also in the media. they don't. western media has very few sources. and this guy, me, keaton. you know, he says, hey, i'll tell you what i saw. will there grabbing it straws? they'll take anybody i'm even on now. the head of the international atomic energy agency has held his 2nd day of talk since her on following an investigation that detects a trace of near weapons grade level uranium of the had to be runs, atomic energy organization said this does not mean that the country is enriching uranium plus the 60 percent level agreed upon for goods or the that 84 percent issue was about particles. not about in richmond. 20. our and product shows that we have not had uranium enrichment above the 60 percent level or talks between the i a chief raphael grossey and iranian presidents abraham race. they are also expected to take place as both sides say their keen restore relations. ross is

that it comes according to a reports uranium particles in which 2 h. 3.7 percent were detected at an iranian nuclear facility, which is very close to the 90 percent level required to make a bomb less cross live. now to say it, mohammed mirandi a political analyst, and professor at the university of toronto. miranda great, see you in the studio for once? normally we just having our remote discussions. thank you very much for having me. well, 1st of all, i'd like to, to start off with the heads of the international atomic energy agency. and these, these claims the defect to traces of new weapons grade uranium. obviously, iran has denied this was certainly quite complex situation. it is quite normal for small traces of enriched uranium to be found at above the level that is currently being enriched the technical reasons, i don't know, but iran does not enrich above 60 percent. and the reason why you run is enriching

at 60 percent is basically to put pressure on the united states and europeans to come back to the nuclear deal. in other words, they're using it as leverage. but the writers have not decided to go any further. and they allow the i a inspectors to, to check to see that there is no enrichment above that. just just traces that i've been detected, but the posed no threat or no change in policy from taxonomy. do you think this visit by the i a will help boost relations and cooperation between iran and the west? maybe even restoration of this, this nuclear deal. you're optimistic for this visit or not? what we have to see because during the negotiations in vienna and i was in vienna for the negotiations, we came to attacks we, the different sides came to an attacks. at the end of the negotiations, the european union foreign policy chief gave

a text which was very close to what the iranians wanted. iranians made some slight changes and the u. e. foreign policy chief, joseph for el said that iran in demands are a reasonable. so at that point we thought we had to deal, but then the americans began to drag their eat, and since then, nothing's happened. so the text is ready. if the americans choose to take the right step forward, then there will be a deal. it, it all depends on washington and to a lesser degree on the european. we're moving on now from these, these nuclear tensions due to tensions with, with israel, which we often talk about together now. israel in us, they conduct these military drills which were designed to send a message to iran. you visit any evening of the tensions with israel in the near future. this cycle says continue. well, the problem that iran has with israeli regime is that it is an apartheid machine and increasing the, its being recognized even in the west,

openly. and of course the new government in tel aviv is even more right wing than previous government. so there will be, there will always be tension, as long as there is apartheid. but there's really not in a position to attack iraq. and the united states is not going to attack the united states already has more than enough on its hands in europe, in its conflict with russia, which it's not going well for nato. and of course, with china. so iran is being much stronger today than it's been in the past. the united states on the decline, relatively speaking. they're not going to attack you on this way. the resume is too small and too vulnerable to go on at phone without the americans. so if the american, if the israeli regime try something, then they will be hit very hard and they will bear the consequences and people will blame them. so it will, if, if we,

i don't expect anything from the americans. but if something does have happened on behalf of israel regime, and i think they will probably be on the loop, they will definitely be on the losing end of any st in an exchange from, from military conflicts, not suits or cannot make warfare. obviously there was iranian ships that dots in an a port in brazil, a, needless to say, the u. s. wasn't very happy about it on the even mentions, you know, the idea of sanctions, which seems to be the says go to the economic measure. what was the purpose you think of if you run sending the ships all the way to the other side of the world? does it flex needs? while these are naval ships and the iranians have every right to engage with friendly countries, whether through military exchanges or through economic exchanges, the americans and europeans are now addicted to sanctions. they are sanctioning country after country,

whether it's the russians or the iranians or the venezuelans, the cubans, and syrians and, and increasingly, china. if they choose to sanction a latin american countries, then they're only making things more difficult for themselves because they're increasing the size of the club of countries that are being sanction. this is their last weapon and they've overused it. and it's coming back to hurt the, the western alliance and nato countries. and if they want to continue and tagging eyes in countries across the world as like in latin america, i think you, ron would be very happy to see that. but these exchanges are normal naval ships traveling from one country to another. our routine and the americans shouldn't expect to be able to do it themselves and prevent others from doing the same thing . was the state on, on the fema sanctions, us obviously recently imposed more sanctions on iran. so what effect has this affected iran or has the country adapted to life on the sanction? iran adapted and,

and the u. s. has already imposed maximum pressure sanctions. maximum pressure means basically that they can't go any further. so by adding new sanctions, it's only an only has a psychological effect when everything is already been sanction if you just sanction it again and again and again, doesn't really make a difference. so this is mostly for propaganda. and in some ways it's, it's coming back to hurt americans and in another way as well. and that is that countries like iran in russia, their trade is now thriving. it's growing at a very rapid pace because both sides of sanction and now, there is no fear either in moscow or in teheran about being sanction. and so there is nothing impeding rapid economic cooperation and rapid growth in trade. when sticking with a theme of economic growth, there was recently just one that was lodged, lithium reserves in iran. and with this general shift towards electric vehicles and

batteries, lithium obviously been a very important component in them. it might give you a run, a bit more leverage. do you think that when demand for lithium grows the west and those are in post sanctions on iran might come back pulling cup in hand? well, i think ultimately western countries are going to have to rethink their policy. they are failing and they're failing in their confrontation with russia, with iran, and with the whole of asia. and the global south there had germany is rapidly on the decline. and the europeans in particular, have very few resources. so they're going to need iran, russia in other countries in the future. and they're foolish policy of pursuing the demand of the united states only going to wreck their own economy is going to bring is going to push europe towards weakness and, and hardship. and so, yes, i think ultimately when more level headed people come to power in europe,

there are going to have to, we think their policy may be the same as will be true in the united states. but i, i, i cannot see, foresee that in the near future, i think that the political leads in europe in the united states at the moment. i'm not level headed enough to make the right decision. certainly seems to be some tectonic shifts in global geo politics at the moment. and i just told you, go press my deal once. once touch warner, israel, iran, syria, situation there. now israel has, has increased his number of strikes, almost. he believes to be iranian facilities. mr. phillips is in syrian, although he's already comments on the strikes on some reports the, some civilians were killed. i have 22 questions for you. sure. do you think the israel should be held more accountable for these strikes? and secondly, what, why does the israel see iran's presence is there is a threat? well, for of all the runs presents in syria is at the request that the sharing government and it was to help them fight off isis. and out by day out,

caden and such groups and israeli regime was supporting these extremist groups like other like they're in the nato allies and other and other regional countries close to the united states and, and the europeans. so whenever this year in our army would gain the upper hand on the battlefield, the israeli regime would start bombing syrian positions. and usually they would do it in the name of bombing iran. but in reality they were there, bombing syrians rarely have the syrians rarely have this really bomb the run in positions over the past few years. there haven't been any iranian casualties. but there's really say iran to sort of legitimize their attacks. not that they, they are legitimate because as i said, the iranian presence in syria is at the request of the same government and therefore legitimate. but the israeli regime says they're iranians, but they're basically syrians that they're striking. they want to keep here and

weeks week and, and one of the extraordinary things is that after the earthquake in syria where, where so many people were suffering and so many died and so many lost their homes this way. these carried out another attack on theory on damascus. and it's just, it's, you know, it's just so inhumane, but that's, that's how they behave. and, and one last questions for let you go this to happen reports. i maybe can explain to what happened, what's going on here of the rainy government poisoning school girls in the country . could you explain what's going on the bus monday bad and yeah, that is another extraordinary accusation that the west makes against iran. they have a host of persian media outlets that are extremely hostile towards the ron bbc persian d o. a persian iran international, which is a saudi out that basin in london and a host of other media that's and during the riots, months ago they were calling on the rise for us to kill police officers and over 60

police officers were killed by these risers and i've tweeted, clips of these media outlets calling for and legitimizing. attacks on the button in london off. com does nothing about it. so if you it's by, if it's violence against the iran, apparently it's all fine in in the u. k. but now they're making accusations that the iranian government is trying to poison, told the children and girls, and that they want to get revenge on them somehow. first of all, the anniversary of the revolution in iran was just a couple of weeks ago. and we had millions of people on the streets coming out in support of the revolution and against the writers. so obviously, public opinion in iran is not with the west. so why would anyone want to get revenge on anyone? a 2nd of all, what this poisoning school children have to do with anything, in my opinion, it's one of those oriental, this races,

tropes. whereas anyone who opposes the west and anyone who's non western, they can do about any crime, anything is, is believable for them. you know, the, you know, they're barbaric, they kill people, they're ruthless, they're irrational. but these are just new accusations. you can just add them to the host of other accusations that they constantly make against iran because iran is evil. so anything is believable in their narrative. sounds very similar to to russia. bonds in the west. the media was said, mohammed randi professor at the university of toronto, political analyst, absolute pleasure to have in the studio today, a wide range of discussion. thank you. thank you. know the news, a major annual events in chinese politics is kicking off the so called to sessions by the chinese parliament on a political advisory body are expected to introduce a rough reforms and governments appointments upon them. entry spokesperson has praised chinese f. as for developments around the world,

particularly to help african nations low that debt burdens on house kaiten you got you carrying out belton road co operation. china never attaches any political strings, nor seeks any selfish political gains. according to the world bank, china is not the largest creditor of africa. nearly 3 quarters of africa's external debt is owed to multilateral financial institutions and commercial creditors. in other words, they account for the bulk of africa's debt. china has been working hard to help africa, ease its debt burden, fatal china has taken an active part in the debt service suspension initiative under the g 20 palmer. thus, both person also slammed the western establishments rhetoric about china supposedly been a threat to them as a quote cold war mentality is that the mutual cooperation is the common interest of china on western powers of the one that china will not allow any infringements upon its sovereignty or territorial integrity,

specific figures for china's defense budgets are expected to be announced during the current policy making event in beijing. earlier we heard from c g chin correspondent jen, shown yin, who says it's a focus of the events will be a new economic policy. and a range of appointed officials succession is one of the most or is think the most important political event and china, and what makes this year's event. so special or different is that is the 1st year after trying to optimize is covey restriction. so, no wonder, all eyes are on this event to see how china is going to re boost is to economic vitality how. what kind of g d p targeted the country going to set? will it be a more conservative one or will be an ambitious one? and how is trying to going to achieve those goals? in more crucially the n p c this year will actually bode on the kinds of leadership lineup. we are expected to see the new top officials,

including premier vice premiers and other economic international leadership roles including market regulators. and we're notably during the rep of the 2 sessions. there will be the newcomers, 1st time, you know, hosting hundreds of journalists from a local and foreign media driven was and that will be the 1st hand for the journal was to ask questions directly or to the new premier and the appointment of all of these top officials, we'll actually give a good, very good indication of where the countries of policies in development tragic tree will go in the coming years. finally, us president joe biden has applauded germany's efforts to give up russian energy supplies amid the ukraine, conflicts. he made those comments during a meeting with the lead of the use lodged economy. jim german chancellor left sholtes in washington. george changes oh, especially as far away from

russian resources and those are very difficult for you julie. this said nothing publicly about the sabotage of the gnawed stream pipelines, the cutoff direct supplies of russia, natural gas to germany. germany, excuse me. well, it's a prize winning american journalist seymour hersh claimed, in a report last month, the nato drills were used as cover for the us to pump explosives to blow those pipelines in the baltic sea. now the us dismissed the findings as complete fiction . european countries have said that they conducted an investigation in the incident without announcing any definitive findings or aside french generalist said the western powers are simply trying to hide the true results of that inquiry. you katrina, just tell me what strikes me is that there are german swedish and danish investigations in which a lot of information has already been collected. but there are no conclusions. perhaps there are conclusions that they simply do not want to make public or ralph nie make a chairman of the german opposition group for german sovereignty constitution

agrees. with a conclusion of sessions report. while here you see obviously to us in crime may change. so now i believe mister schultz is getting new orders from his master in washington that they definitely know the truth. i mean, we know that sarah, back international german member of the stock of the parliament had written to mister harvick, the energy minister's office in economic house. and then it says office and asked for this information, what they, what and they both wrote back. both institutions wrote back to that that it was that secret, they could not tell her. so in other words, they know what the americans up on mr. charles, who called them and said, i don't know what to do about the not stream to an animal. why population wants gas? i can't tell them. no, we don't get that because now i know sanctions about gas was oil and other. thank you. financial. thank you. not about gas. it is not illegal to demand the opening

of nostra into. so this is where we have it. and him, i can say ok become and we solve the problem. that's the through. well, that's all for now for any mall on any of the stories that you've just seen. do feel free to head over to all websites. odyssey dot com. money's be to scott on the back with another rundown of all the latest and around about 30 minutes. touchscreen greats. have you been ah

the information? oh, most, all the independent journalists who pointed out that nato and the us were directly responsible for initiating the military conflict in ukraine, our casualties of it. we are old and in the east to west. i don't have a possibility to go safely. so there is no way for me to go back to the traits are real and own. i also have already load last few friends under wary about circumstances. i have

daughters abroad. i have family abroad and it's the sacrifice. and i was ready to do it. i had this in my heart. ah, my mother is a journalist and she's a good journalist. she understands that i have to do what i have to do. but yes, i miss my daughters. i miss my family, but i tried to stay tough. what years taska was shown, the cutoff marana meta at the football, the floor you put all over the door. neither would you call the guy this a bit of dallas, e jordan, i least got order. got it. bravo must oh, full on. would you please stop me? come lift, she was up but no one mirror, a criminal investigation against julian assange.
