a prominent russian business man. konstantin malo, fe of the russian federal security service has said that the assailant intended to plant a bomb in his car. similar to the case of journalists, daria do good enough who was murdered by ukrainian agents last year in the moscow region. authorities have released foot, it's that shows a suspicious person walking around the business man's car, doing something to it. and then leaving the scene, they say the crime was organized by ukraine based. her organization, also responsible for recent attacks on civilians in russia is brianne region. here's how konstantin malo, fe of himself has reacted to all of this. in response to numerous concerns from friends, i inform you everything is all right with me. thank god, there was no harm done. i hope that all those responsible for the murder of daria digna will be ultimately discovered and arrested. thank you to all my friends for the kind words of support. i want to assure you that nothing,

neither threats nor terrorist attacks will affect my ardent and sincere patriotic position. the enemy will be defeated. victory will be ours. god is with us. the organizer of the crime is the founder of the so called russian volunteer core who lives in ukraine and operates under close control over as b u or ukrainian secret service. now, russia's secret service says that this man was also involved in its terrorist act in the countries, brians creegan last week where 2 people were killed. f, as b says that this latest assassination attempts was supposed to be executed in the same manner as the murder of for young journalists and daughter of a russian philosopher, azaria, duke and i in moscow in august of last year. now that crime was reportedly prepared and committed by ukrainian special service according to the f as b. now the perpetrator was a citizen of ukraine who later fled to estonia following this gruesome murder. now

though such events are rarely covered in death by western mainstream media, vis and other neo nazi organized but fail, terrorist acts have grabbed some attention in the west hamlet. the russian volunteer cool. a lead by figure, well known to him and those who followed the transnational fall right, dennis coast it. now the anti defamation league has dennis capuchin, as a russian neo nazi who lived in germany for many years. has trained young members of the far right national democratic party of germany and others. he also has ties to the as always in the as oh brigades, which is a ukranian extremis fall right group as well. so when parent actually goes public aid, says he tech was it up by neo nazis. there's an element truth of that statement down there talking about says denise caputo thing there. and this same person has also been linked with organizing a terrorist act in the city of boulder, grabbed in russia last year. russian security services foils of attempt to blow up

an oil and gas facility. and they kill the perpetrators at that time. once again, f as b believe, that's all of these crimes by neo nazis, were sanctions by officials in key of a latest revelations by self exile, former russian politicians and well heads off for arm groups themselves that they allegedly control prove the same point. now the latest from the ukranian conflict, as russian troops have almost completely surrounded the key strategic city of arte, almost more reports coming in that ukranian troops are having trouble retreating from the area. this new drone footage shows ukrainian forces pinned down by artillery fire. you can see numerous bodies of ukrainian soldiers lying on the side of the road. this comes as care reportedly lost one of its most combat capable units in art. the almost despite the destruction and ongoing fighting many

civilians continue living in archdale most also known as bach mote. ukrainian authorities claim at least $4000.00 people have remained in the city. moscow has repeatedly stated that the ukrainian army is using civilians as human shields, hiding its artillery and other heavy vehicles inside residential areas. meanwhile, a german tv channel has made a stark admission on why local residence could be staying in the city, where the correspondents suggesting people were actually awaiting the arrival of the russian army. not on fiber would in the case of vomit. and in general, in don back, there are people who say or perhaps keep in their thoughts that they are waiting for russia to come because they would rather take a pro russian position duncan. meanwhile, we spoke to colleagues and relatives for medic killed by ukrainian. shelling less than 2 weeks ago, the ambulance fema struck by the ukrainian army while it was working to aid the victims of a previous bombardment. footage on line appears to show

a ukrainian drone surveilling the site as a specific target. here's what a colleague and family member of one of the victims told us about the attack. laska, los angeles mutual, he was a kind compassionate man. we understood that his job was hard for the last year and a half. he had been working all the time in the areas that were all the more shalley. he didn't tell us much about his work because he was worried about me about my mother. why my father always wanted to do good because he knew that would be rewarded. he did good deeds is safe adults and children. he was motivated by law for his fellow countrymen, and his homeland regret could approach it in one more 2nd place that day. grand troops were shelling, denounced. the ambulance was out on a call mission. a treacherous act was committed by the ukraine army, which fired at the doctors who were providing assistance in trying to evacuate the victims. unfortunately, all members of the medical emergency team,

4 people were killed. the shelling of surveillance continues, but people still go to work and perform their duties. this is not only medical workers, it's all services, emergency services, the police, all those people who make sure the cities functional are working. none of them knows whether they will come under fire before the 2nd strike, which directly hit the ambulance, there were fire fighters at the scene, helping the victims of the 1st strike. they were also here in the 2nd round of selling. luckily they escaped of and were only wounded. here's what they thought that was the fuel searching. yeah, we received a report that a billed him with people in it had been destroyed. all team was dispatched, madell location were so an ambulance was crew was threatening the wounded were as we started looking for more casualties in the building, we saw a flash and her de la bang from a mine boss. we were all injured. minerva are open to 0. do this my 2nd time this

year been injured? it happened while i was putting out the fire last time shell exploded right beside us. i'm sure that they can see perfectly well from above. that it's the emergency service working. and then they hid the nearest building, thus time would in think it could be deliberate. but now it's obvious. and other developments. russia's defense minister survey show go, visited the don. yes. republic to inspect, ongoing work on rebuilding the reasons infrastructure. in particular, the city of mario ball has a brand new residential area, including schools and a medical center. there's also a pipeline that will bring water to several rural areas. the construction projects began immediately after active fighting ended in the region with thousands of local civilians. now returning to their peaceful way of life, this comes as more volunteers from russia are signing up to take part in the military operation. r t z are shot off,

visited one of the training sites in the don. yes, republic. to learn about the important skills taught to new soldiers, they run, they prone out on the ground. they shoot, they know the better they do here at an anonymous drill site in the next republic. the higher the chance they'll be 1st to catch the enemy in their sites, who's the fighters of the russian special forces unit. viking, they're making ready. basically they're teaching russian volunteer fighters in the dumbass, preparing them for some very difficult combat that they're expected to face later.

in this war, these volunteers abandoned their measured lives, families plans to aid their country in the time they are needed most, their potential slyly patriot of my country. and i understand that our country is going through a hard time right now. i cannot sit at home. we need to resolve these issues instead of just sitting around. so i signed a contract and went to dumbass. i have children at home, i love them very much. the whole family was shocked by my decision, but i convinced them that neither my parents nor grandparents were cowards. this must be done. yes, the girls the would to well, someone has to do this job. if everyone shies away from it, then he will defend the motherland. therefore, i made a decision, gathered my gear and went to enlist my parents think that i serve at the headquarters, but i'm not actually that my girlfriend knows the truth when you, but my mother is too old for that. many trainees here have no previous service record. here they get invaluable experience. first aid, tactical movement,

gun handling, and of course, target practice. everything is on the curriculum here. low but up bold for me. i served in the armed forces, but i had no combat experience. therefore, i've been here for a month and a half while undergoing intensive training. we get very tired, but as general swore of once said it was hard and training will be easy in battle. worse causes it gets to real combat conditions mult, psychologically and physically. and you thought there, okay, yes there. i think it's prestigious, defending the motherland. that will be something to tell my grandchildren about problems. and we should all be here. every one who's healthy can hold a weapon and he's physically ready and why not? there's a real military brotherhood here. we are all from the same republic. we're doing our duty. some of russia's most battle hardened delete soldiers have taken up the role of instructors. luscious long as alicia lance. our task is to teach the basics of combat training and 1st aid to volunteers,

and also to convey to the commanders that it's necessary to use the people entrusted to them wisely. we teach them to shoot and adapt. the results are definitely there. this training helps to minimize losses. our main goal is to save lives. ah, the pant heavy but follow every order. rinse and repeat. training here is no formality. it's a matter of life and death. i'm a guest done of reporting from the dumbass. r t. ah frank president, emmanuel mac crown is question about hypocrisy with the countries sanctions policy during his tour of africa. france has an aggressive stance against russia, but hasn't imposed sanctions against for wanda, for it's a legit support of the m. 23 insurgent group fighting just across that country's

border in the democratic republic of congo. egan, particular case, we can see that france is not active enough in condemning rwanda in demanding sanctions against it. but you are doing this aggressively against russia. why there is such a lack of assistance in regard to the d. r c. nicholas sunday. because we agree with the asi president to security on the need to give the peace plan a chance. we have the opportunity to resolve the conflict with am 23. today's not the time to force things by those who will interfere with implementation of this plan. know what they are risking include and sanctions. the front president, tour of africa was mired by protests as locals have demanded that the former colonial power leave the continent for good. nevertheless, micron pledge that his country has no plans to interfere in the domestic affairs of african nations. just ahead of me, crohn's arrival in kinshasa, some congolese demonstrated against his trip to their country outside the french

embassy in kinshasa. the crowds accused him a crown of backing lawanda, which the d. r. c claims is supporting the m 2 into 3 enables in east, off the nation. oh, so important to know to that, to, for decades now, the democratic republic of congo has been the scene off the walls longest running conflicts. currently, tens of thousands of people have become displaced, a since heavy fighting raged in the eastern d r. c. between congolese army an introductory rebels. it's clear that to relations between the 2 countries have gone from bad to worse. what can shasta accusing to guiding of supporting the m 23 rebels resurgence? i sending its own troops into eastern congo. the one that denies any involvement, but the d. r. c is so calling for international communities to sanction to wanda

and force it to stop supporting militants. microns has been saying that it was the spirit of partnership and collaboration with african countries. but many don't see these plans coming to fruition because for decades now, francis action during the genocide was and still is the subject of intense debate in africa. and critics accusing france of not having done enough to prevent the massacre even actively supporting the government responsible for the genocide. this despite micron, saying that france was not complicit in the genocide people who did a phone call. it's not francis fault. i'm sorry to say in such blunt terms, you have not been able to restore the sovereign seat by the military, more security, northern straight of your country. this is also a reality. we must not look for culprits outside lucifer. last have been mentioning microns tor of africa, revived old colonial winds, sparking protest even as micron tried to convince the population that the era of

france a freak has come to an end to us once a week. the sage of france, africa is well and truly over and i sometimes have the feeling that mentalities are not evolving at the same pace. as when i read, i hear i see claims that france hasn't had sense that it does not have that they no longer has. now it's clear that paris is the speaking to protect economists, areas that it has always taken for granted, which are now subject to increased competition for major pow was such as russia, china, and india. and at this point, many c frances move as a way to remain in the continents market. russia remains india top crude oil importer for a 5th straight month with a record $1600000.00 barrels per day in february. as in unity, refiners relish to discounted russian oil. moreover,

russia has started shipping exports, including energy resources to india via venue international north, south transport port or russia's 1st deputy prime minister has announced that the transportation of the car go through the route is expected to reach 32000000 tons by the year 2030 iran has already turned into a vital hub along that route as r t contributor, use the deal. wally explains. hundreds of tons of fresh car though are unloaded every day at the us border terminal in ne iran. the frontier crossing is now turning into a tries at top for commodities bounce from russia to the persian gulf coastal countries in india. the 1st tre train under russia to india route entered iran through the surroundings border. crossing last july and officially launched the eastern section of the north south railway corridor, the head of the ox, special economic zones says almost 85 percent of the ones rail transit occurs

through this water crossing. the car goes include food and agricultural products. energy. i'm petrochemical, is that the racks has one of the greatest capacities on this border, given the fact that it enjoys the largest railway stations in the country. and one of the largest customs facilities with an area of roughly 5300 head tears if it offers an opportunity for economic activists from iran and neighboring nations. and the commonwealth of independent states, as well as the indian subcontinent and china to use the border crossing for commercial exchanges in the fields of export import and transiting. we predict a transit capacity of at least $10000000.00 tons per year through this border crossing with the countries, the indian subcontinent and pakistan located in the northeastern cross on province on the border with turk minutes. then sax terminal is partial. the eastern branch of the international north, south transit corridor,

which connects the eastern edge of europe to the indian ocean. the 7200 kilometer trade route has 3 main sections, all passing through iran to reach india. the north south corridor has multiple modes, ship rail and road routes, which was 1st launched in 2000 on the initiative of iran, russia, and india. today, it in conferences, 11 more countries, including turkmenistan turkey are by john, all man into g. his 10 dead bass said regarding rush helms, the c i, s india, and china. iran is one of the most secure, accessible and cheapest paths of transit for the international market. yet, specifically, these capabilities for transit are seriously being followed up during president's race's administration. our correspondence with middle asian states and russia, and also iran succession to this shanghai cooperation organization. creates such capabilities said m a c l. the emerging north south corridor is more cost effective

and saves a great deal of travel time. for example, if russia instead use the conventional deep sea, so s canal route, a shipment would have to sail 14000 kilometers, taken about one and a half months to reach india. but using the new network, it takes less than 2 weeks to russia, and iran mapping out in alternative trade route is not just about providing a shortcut for transit with european shipping routes, being closed up did one in moscow now look at the north south corridor. as a back door to trade, their goods away from u. s. and e u sanctions. the 2 countries are spending billions of dollars to speed up the completion of their multimode transit network while under tremendous pressure from western sanctions. experts believe the north south corridor offers the sanctions, proved path for trading russian and iranian goods. this is because the route is mostly inland, which is harder for the sanctioning countries to control, let, to let you have

a shadow. and he considering the international situation and what has happened in ukraine, there are capabilities for us to use. well, we're witnessing the fact that the companies which are active in caea is countries and russian. their attention and investment into this border, which is a special economic zone, is increasing day by day that it appears that global geopolitical developments are re shaping trade networks as well. the north south corridor is making a name for itself as the new silk wrote in the eastern hemisphere use of generally r t from sax border terminal. the speaker of the hungary, in parliament says that the massive scale of military aid sent by some western powers to ukraine makes them direct participants in the conflict. and those who does not wish they will nato and you members have already sent a train of one of the belligerents was lethal military means worth almost $60000000000.00. this means that separate un nato states or participants of this

war, though not directly fighting on the battlefield yet, can you get it this fight that you having already dedicated 3600000000 euros for military assistance ukraine, and now plans to allocate another 1000000000 for artillery but ukraine's president lensky still demands new supplies from the west, complaining of a shortage of ammunition and aircraft. meanwhile, it seems that tensions between the nato blocks and some european countries are rising, are to contributor rachel mars and explains, sold to was once considered pretty much a pacifist is now pumping up the military industrial complex warmer. she investing moreno defense and it is absolutely clear that we would go to 2 percent of o g d p as has agreed in lay too. because we already have the highest defense budgeted european union to be very clear as germany. but we are willing to increase this. that's interesting. german defense minister boris for story is set the tone

recently by saying that the country can currently defend itself, militarily, strange thing to emit out loud by the way even wants to now buy back some german made leopard 2 tanks from switzerland because apparently it gave so many leopard, one tanks away to ukraine, that it lacked tanks for itself. it's like someone on the street corner asking you for money. so you hand him, your bank card. he completely drained your bank account and then oops, are stuck on the street and packing for cash herself. just another example of the amazing foresight and strategic savvy that we hear in europe have come to expect from our leaders and made this conflict in ukraine. but for poland, germany can't yet more of its weapons out the door to ukraine fast enough, and it wants berlin to pick up the pace. poland has already sent its own german tanks to ukraine and is wondering why jeremy's own tanks are apparently taking the

scenic route in getting to ukraine. poland also hasn't forgotten that jeremy. i was the money for reparations. from world war 21.3 trillion euros to be exact, and germany is basically hiding on the floor with the lights off. whenever pulling comes knocking at the door, demanding that payment, kind of the same strategy that berlin seems to be adopting towards poland weapons, demands for ukraine. and it's really no wonder because protestors in frankfort on saturday, were demanding. he talks an end to germany and nato's army of ukraine, just like in previous protests the weekend prior in berlin and at the rams sine air base. meanwhile, serbia has denied recent reports that it has been discreetly shipping weapons, including thousands of rockets to ukraine via turkey. meaningful protocol in the yoga. we have not sold any weapons or ammunition to russia or ukraine for serbia in

accordance with international laws. there are so called permitted users or end users, and serbia can only export to such countries. they said to us, you export it through turkey year, but this is how we protect it ourselves. in addition to the law, we even added a clause on the possibility of re exporting the ammunition that we sold there without our consent. seems like who gets is sticking to his guns with respect to not army ukraine despite a lot of pressure coming from other you countries. so that's pretty much the closest thing we seen here in europe to a backbone in quite a while. but ukraine keeps asking for a lot more of what europe apparently isn't really able to give. and the sense of urgency from ukraine suggests that things aren't really going to well, for here in this conflict, the commission came up with a plan last week to ramp up artillery production. but that's not something that can really happen over night. and in the meantime, the finger pointing between european allies seemed set to continue and made

confusion in the you on further support to kiev, european commission president are so a founder, lay, and is expected to visit washington for talks with us president joe biden. among the issues to be discussed as china, the legit intention to supply weapons to russia. this comes as western media was spreading the narrative that china plans the sun weapon reader, russia to be used in the ukraine conflict. the outlets refer to some us officials claims on the issue, despite both china and russia denying any such intentions. some western officials have threatened imposing sanctions on beijing, if it supplies weapons to moscow. the western establishment media has also been supporting washington's rhetoric that china is a major threat to us national security. some reports claim that chinese manmade cranes operating in american ports could be used by the asian country as an as

piano tul, hiding in plain sight. but those reports fail to provide concrete evidence. the accusations towards beijing commerce, china has become the world leader in the technological sector. our research reveals to china has built the foundations to position itself as the world's leading science and technology superpower. by establishing a sometimes standing lead in high impact research across the majority of critical and emerging technology domains. the research shows that other world powers are losing the global technology, raised to china with the asian country dominating and 37 of the 44 spears being assess. those included key defends and space related technologies. the u. s. is ahead in some fields such as quantum computing and vaccines. china's leadership and most technological fields is one of the main reasons why fear officials and washington view beijing as a threats. as china's economy has grown more than 10 fold,

since gaining access to us in world markets, we must deter the aggression by the ccp. we investigate and expose the ideological technological, economic, and military threat posed by the chinese communist party. we may call this a strategic competition, but it's not a polite tennis match. this is an existential struggle. ah, and now to palace sign where people in gaza continue to struggle. a donkey car is the only opportunity for children from poor families to get to school and the only chance for the driver to make money for his own son who has cancer. each morning, the 33 year old palestinian summons his tiny passengers to transport them to school unsafe and polluted roads have made it nearly impossible for them to get there. by

5 bus rides are unaffordable for many families, but the donkey ride is only a small fraction of that cost. the donkey driver lives meagerly, as he is trying to collect money for his kids cancer treatment, rulers or so it will hurt. i use the whistle to call the children when i pick them up, i drive them for 5 shackles per month. some of those families get social aid. you can afford to pay me the full price. some of them pay me just to shekels. it's not even enough to feed a donkey and clearly not enough to feed my children. i also have a sick child's. my son suffers from myeloma. i used to send him for treatment in israel, but now i can't even send him to the hospital. and when t c, i simply can't afford to treat him. i can't even afford transportation to the hospital. sometimes i use a donkey to get there. my son hasn't had his treatment for 4 months. what can i do? i only hope for help from god. the financial situation is a disaster and all of the gaza. some families haven't paid me for 4 months, but i have no choice but to continue to work like this. i can't leave.
