very dramatic, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time to sit down and talk ah, well, bush and troops close in on the city of bach moves also known as a means the destruction posed in the don't bust. the perennial troops critical infrastructure to hinder a head of a neo nazi group to claim responsibility for a deadly attack in a russian border region. the incident was coordinated with ukrainian military also this, our iran denies international atomic energy agency, accusations that is enriched uranium near weapons grade levels. us as the un watchdog visit to run and the functions of the nation's nuclear activities on

china says that countries seeking to impose their own domestic laws on other nations is a, quote, bullying, sharpie tolerates with which the world you're watching on the international. my name is peter scott and these the top stories at 5 pm. thanks for joining us. i will start this hour off with the latest developments from the dumbass, where the lead of the wagner private military group says the russian forces have essentially surrounded a key stronghold of ukrainian troops and the done yet republic. now this comes up to a number of bounces by russian troops in the area. the wagner groups leader claims there are many professional ukrainian soldiers left in the fights. ukrainian army has reportedly been destroying critical infrastructure, including several bridges and the dumb to hinder the russian and circumvents of the city of buck moves,

also known as of char musk. ukrainian military has also destroyed infrastructure and industrial sites when withdrawing from other areas in the dumbass. archie correspondence eager is done of when to see a factory ukrainian chief destroyed in it'll 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 keith troop say, 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 more hope all is well there were a lot of them here,

mostly wounded. after 200 people and 160 people killed and then they ended up blowing it all up. and there was even a soldier working by crying. he said 3 of my comers were wounded and blown up there . he walked away, still crying. but what can you do? the blast wave wiped out the whole row of houses adjacent to the plant. locals 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 is the same here. all this site has 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 ship 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, we discover more traces of ukrainian troops who were once stationed here. ama crates potentially left or 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 a 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 good done of reporting from the dumbass r t. meanwhile, the head of an extremist group that attack civilians in rushes, brianne sc region are the ukrainian border says the incidence was coordinated with ukrainian military than a sneaky, thin, 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. how do you imagine that i passed through the dark of night there. there were a mind bridges there, a cameras heat seeking drones. there were 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 that is the key thing is the founder of the so called russian volunteer coal consisting of russians fighting for ukraine. he was born in russia, the son of a jewish family that emigrated to germany under special rules for relocation individuals with jewish ancestry. he got involved with

a football who can group and he would sense russia as an adult. and he started a clothing brown. this old products with neo nazi symbols is activities were closely monitored by european and russian authorities. later he moved to ukraine where he's been living for around 6. yes. and the heat in sold the financial times that these men conducted the attack this week since by ukrainian compatriots to invade russian territory. and ukrainian presidential adviser has rejected any official involvement and said it was a russian provocation to escalate the conflicts. but the russian president, vladimir putin said it was at 1st tackled civilians. she wouldn't be sill. 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 it. these are the same people who want to deprive us of our history, traditions and language. let's take you through thursdays attack russian. all authorities say a group of ukrainians, ambushed

a civilian vehicle in russia's bronze region which is near the ukrainian border. the gunfire killed 2 people and wounded a child. of the falling footage was released by rushes federal security service after the deadly incident. and a quick warning you may find the following images disturbing. as you can see here, car, this been riddled with bullets. several explosive devices were discovered after a search of the area versus defense ministry, and said that the majority of the weapons used was applied to ukraine from nato countries, or south ortiz say, the militants who conducted the attack were pushed back into ukrainian territory and eliminated by incense artillery fire. we heard from a former u. s. air force, the attendant colonel, and she says that western powers no longer seem to care about extremist groups. ukraine, 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 age of he 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 may keaton, you know, he says, hey, i'll tell you what i saw there grabbing at straws. they'll take anybody the rise of african nations as parts of a shifting world order has gained a lot of attention in the media in recent times, as reports points out that many developing nations have been defiance of western

precious equip size with russia, amid the war ukraine archie contributor rich from austin. the western process started to come to terms with the idea that the ukraine conflict is sparking a new multi polar world order that doesn't have washington at the center of it. diversity is supposed to be a good thing, right? events in ukraine and the resulting western sanctions have accelerated, the emergence of an eastern or south eastern offer, with alternative systems and structures. there is always even greater freedom of choice for the average person in the world. but here's how one prominent western publication has just portrayed debt is putin winning? it asks the world order is changing in his favor. it says if people around the world are increasingly rejecting the idea of being stuffed into a made in washington political and economic strait jacket, it's because of some kind of cunning manipulation by putin and not because of a unforced error on the part of the west and the fact that people would just prefer

to give the western clown show a past these days. the west cool coalition may remain solid, but it's failed to win over many of the countries that refuse to pick sides moscow's diplomatic mission to build ties and hone in narrative over the past decade has paid dividends. look at africa in march last year, 25 african states out of 50 full, abstained or didn't vote in a un motion condemning the invasion despite huge pressure from western powers. that refusal to side clearly would ukraine was testament to russia's ongoing diplomatic efforts in the developing world. or, you know, maybe they made a decision to place their own sovereign interests over being dragged into a washington lead circus a world away. as it turns out, not even americans are keen on american unilateralism with only 17 per cent supporting the idea. according to a recent morning consult pole means that they don't want uncle sam at the wheel of the regime change mobiles without adult supervision. and, well,

good luck finding that in his entourage. maybe it has something to do with the fact that they don't like washington's recent track record with foreign meddling as a new gallup poll from this month, underscores and broadly, americans remain rather negative, above the united states international standing with more dissatisfied than satisfied with the u. s position in the world. the majority of the living world lead us do not respect preston biden and the public evenly split on whether the international community abused the u. s. positively or negatively. so far, the price of maintaining the old world order that placed washington squarely at its center hasn't even turned out to be a very good deal for westerners. u. s. president joe biden has said that americans will have to pay high prices for energy for quote, as long as it takes to stick it to russia in ukraine, french president emanuel michael also invoked the need to fight to maintain a certain quote, post world war 2 world order during his press conference at the conclusion of the g

7 summit in germany last june. when he said that the russian ukraine conflict upsets the principles of international rules that were established in the wake of the 2nd world war. also last june, when european commission, president ursula vander line, visited new zealand prime minister to send a ardor. both leaders issued a joint statement that quote, reaffirmed new zealand and the european union strong commitment to multilateralism and the rules based international order. but apparently, fewer people are buying with these leaders are selling with their rules based order . and even the western press seems to be slowly coming around to that reality. now fled way. putin is quite deliberately cultivating this alliance of nations who feel victims of western imperialism. and putting russia at his head, the west wants to see russia as a colony. he said in september, they don't want equal cooperation. they want to rob us. if it's such an easy sell this western lead world order, maybe it's because the skids were already heavily greased with resentment in places

like latin america and asia charges assay strangers. c u. s. back regime change efforts. more people around the world are starting to question the benefit for the average person of us led military intervention sold under the guise of spreading freedom and democracy. and is the last really striking a blow to russia in ukraine as they think doubts of even started to seep into the mainstream western press. as for the war, is russia really losing de credence have fought astonishingly well, but if suffered huge losses, rushes economy appears strong enough to keep the war going. the i m f predicts its economy will grow by north point 3 percent. this year. western leaders are doubling down in ukraine to save the world order that protects their own selfish interests. first and foremost, thinking that it's the way to prevent a parallel option from emerging the challenges there. palmer and in all their stellar competence there on the verge of accomplishing precisely the opposite.

end of the news, a former tall guide from uganda has created an island completely made out of plastic in lake victoria. now it's made up of nearly 10 tons of plastic bottles and can hold around a 100 people as they vittoria suffers from pollution, including when off waste sun mining on the decline in water levels and project climate change installation. the hopes to address such issues by raising awareness among the tourists revisit the region is greater, james could see, but sold ot see about what motivated him to make such an unusual creation. what inspired me was em. they made to to offer something in terms of us, environmental, you know, responsibility. and if us on that loves nature is that person who should be on this book. anyone that wants to have fresh air to some, you know,

you, you, you don't want you, you come here to distress to is up on us trace and you know, just sitting there to look at birds, you look at the monitor leaves and sometimes in the lake among goes water, birds, plants and butterflies, you know, many, many things to see as well as fish. i mean, you know, playing the threads on the lake. we had a chance to talk to some of the visitors of the rough to told us what they thought about it. whenever i come here and see the leg and how the place is cool, i find a place to meditate in. it's just a nice experience of hard to say much, but all i know is that it's a quiet place. usually plastic is always something small that we can touch. we see it and car parts or whatever, but we don't build buildings out of plastic. and now sitting on an i'll of plastic,

actually i would have thought a few more like sitting on a night of dressing, but i don't see any plastic around here. so it's, it's, it's confusing and great at the same time your mind has to really think of new ideas and i find that coming in this place. it really gives me that piece to think of great ideas. moving on now south africa has responded to a us warning last month in which it cautioned its people traveling to the nation to stuck up on at least 3 days with food, water and medicine. south africa's international relations minister has said that the american government doesn't have the information to warrant such averts to draw the surprising. and i don't recall such a large the issue in california black culture and outages to, to south africa. honda to run up warning, but there's been many of the surprise warnings was he warned about has come to

fruition tell the thought african government has responded to the alarming a late issued by the united states government to its citizens. living in the country, the advisory told citizens to stop paul food and medical supplies. the alert was, it responds to the national state of disaster recently declared by the president to settle pause during his state of the nation address. now, the embassy took this opportunity to remind its citizens about the travel advisory label to warning it has in places for africa, which urges them to exercise increased caution due to crime and civil and res. so now report suggests that the united states, security alert, was issued without warning or in new consolidation with south africa. that pushing analysts to say that this reveals the level of issues washington currently has with

the continent, arguing that whatever fits of africa also affects the entire region. the country we must do scape, when a criminal leg, the united states begin to issue such warnings. because the united states is known for funding generally do united states is known for finding the lip in the united states is a sponsor board for quite a number of andres. and i believe a lot of african pension. so that's the case. one of those countries that he's been taking in the global, 42 in the united states, one intel here in the politics of south africa and the step below that relationship that the guy hes with china. raj many believe that this is all

part of the brewing tensions between the united states and for africa. let's keep in mind that to be biden administration had only a warrant of africa against helping russia evade sanctions. and the u. s. has a range of penalties at its disposal from rolling back a to funding or trade privileges to imposing sanctions back so far. so africa has been very apologetic about it's done yet of the international atomic energy agency has held his 2nd, deb talks in terren, falling and investigation. the detect traces of near weapons grade level uranium. now he runs atomic energy organization. chief has said that such funding doesn't mean that the country is in which and uranium has 60 percent. i see that that 84 percent issue was about particles, not about in richmond 20. so our end product shows that we have not had uranium enrichment above the 60 percent level socks between the

h e f f i l. grossey and the radium presidents. abraham righty, are also expected to take place of both sides say they are doing their best to restore relations. courses visit comes as, according to the e reports uranium particles in which to age 4 percent. would it take to afternoon radio nuclear facility, which is very close to the 90 percent level required to make a bomb? said mohammed run the professor at the university of toronto, says this around is sticking to previously agreed image mon levels. 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 the europeans to come back to the nuclear deal. in other words,

they're using it as leverage. but the ryans have not decided to go any further. and they've allowed the i a inspectors to, to check to see that there is no enrichment about that just just traces that have been detected, but the pose no threat or no change in policy from tehran. do you think this visit by the i, e. e a will help boost relations and cooperation between iran and the west. maybe even restoration of this, this nuclear deal. are you 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 did 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 dozer for el said that iran in demands

are a reasonable. so at that point we thought we had a deal, but then the americans began to drag their feet 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 all depends on washington and to a lesser degree on the european. fresh clashes have erupted between israeli soldiers on palestinian residence in the west bank with israeli forces preventing palestinians from entering the town of who for. now this is footage of soldiers pushing understanding protesters as well as using stung grenades to disperse. the crowds amongst took place after called cindy northrup. you said that hundreds of israeli settlers, a type a number palestinian villages that cause houses and other buildings with one local killed and around a 100 injured a wanting some disturbing images are coming up. now the local authorities say that a 15 year old palestinian was fatally shot by israeli forces,

amid classes in the west bank city of how helio, the fifty's administration has said the israeli soldiers opened by on a group of teenagers, of the heathen situation escalated, a major road is where the military has not yet commented on the matter of a prominent member of israel's new conservative governments has said the palestinian town of warren in the west bank should be quote, one of them up. the sentiments has res, grave concerns among the international community, including the latest statements from saudi arabia, which is condemned israeli encroachments upon palestinian territories sees middle east correspondence. maria phenomena has more no one likes to be criticized. israel is especially sensitive when german 4 minister said that berlin is concerned about israel consider in the death penalty for palestinians convicted of terrorism. the country's national security minister responded quick and sharp. the slow for execution terrace is a talk of the hour the germans unto us to preach. the thing is that bertin is not

the only one worrying and the capital punishment bill is far from being the only international concern. inflammatory statements by top israeli officials at a time all unprecedented escalation on the ground, also left many bothered like this one. my a senior member wizards, new government leader of the extreme right. really designing some party who is also responsible for civilian affairs in the occupied westbank. jenny bush, i think the village of vara needs to be wiped out. i think the state of israel should do it. that comment was made off to the palestinian town of how laura was attacked by israeli settlers in a week. at least one palestinian man was killed. dozens of others injured and dozens of palestinian homes and cars were burned. the international community was alarmed. these comments were irresponsible. they were repugnance. they were disgusting. we call on prime minister netanyahu and other senior israeli officials to publicly and clearly reject and disavow these comments. the statement that was

made by mister storage is provocative. it's inflammatory, coming from a government official. it's irresponsible israel authorities did not announce the arrest of prosecution on the sat those responsible for the attacks. instead, there was ever more hate speech. a closed, burned horror. this what i want to see, that's the only way to achieve deterrence after a murder like yesterday's, when it burning villages. when the israel defense forces don't act in a ram, move major jewish organizations in the you ask and dan, bas ether is attack on the palestinian towns and villages in the west. bank criticize in these railey leadership for weakness. we cannot understand or accept this. attacking the village does not deserve to be called taking the law into your own hands. this is not the law. this is undisciplined in random fury. actions like this demonstrate the critical need for clear and strong leadership. what was the

leadership response? prime minister benjamin netanyahu during his visit to the family of 2, his railey brother is killed in the how are a shooting? that provoked the pogroms by settlers did not talk about peace on dialogue. that many believe would help ease the tensions, but instead promised even more fighting. if they could, they would murder soul. but they want to what brute us, i say that our answer is to strike at them and deepen our roots. it's not the 1st time that israel a condense thing to national comments. when u. s. secretary of state expressed his concerns over these railey governments, planned to additional reforms that spark and wave of mass produce all across the country. israel's response was bold and straightforward. flagrant play, stupid, and unnecessary interference. but even more often, israel does not give any verbal response answering with actions instead to international warnings that the country settlement policy will kill the hope for a 2 state solution. how these rarely palestinian conflict. israel announced

a twill expand as if saying, quote, listed your they normally said bowwie or rather what is permissible for israel can not have been. they criticized major annual events in chinese politics is kicking off the so called to sessions by the chinese parliament. and a political advisory body are expected to introduce a raft of reforms on government appointments. a parliamentary spokesperson as praise shown his f. as for developments around the world, particularly to help african nations lowered the debt burden to foreign powers. kaiden you are 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 palm, with our spokesperson also slammed the western establishments. rhetoric about china supposedly been said to them as a quote, cold war mentality. he said that mutual cooperation is the common interest of china western powers, the one that china will not allow any infringement upon his 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 dtn correspondent jenks, when we says a focus of the events will be new economic policies and a range of appointed officials to session 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 china optimize is covet restriction, so no wonder all eyes are all disadvantage. see how china is going to re boost

areas to economic vitality. how, what kind of a g t 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 go into each of those goals? emma crucially the n p c this year will actually vote on the kinds of leadership lineup. we are expected to see the new top officials, including a premier, vice premiers and other economic information leadership roles, including market regulators and were notably during the rep of the 2 sessions. there will be the new, previous 1st time you know, hosting hundreds of journalists from a local and foreign media journalist. and that will be the 1st chance for the jury was to ask questions directly to the new premier. and the appointment of all of these top officials will actually give a good, very good indication of where the country's policies in development trajectory will

go in the coming years. oh, and finally you as president joe biden has applauded germany's efforts to give up russian energy supplies amid the war in ukraine. they made the comments drug and meeting with the lead of the use largest economy. german chancellor la sholtes in washington. during storage changes. oh, are increasing the best pending and the 1st find away from russian energy sources. i know. very difficult for you. well, that's really does said nothing publicly about the node stream pipeline blasts that cuts off direct supplies of russian natural gas to germany. but it's a prize winning american journalist seymour hersh claimed, in a report last month, and nato drills were used as cover for the u. s. to punch explosives to blow up the pipelines in the baltic. sea of the u. s. dismissed the findings as complete fiction. european countries have said they conducted an investigation into the incident without announcing any different.
