ah, we sort of deal with them with personal authorities say they've prevented an assassination attempts on a russian businessman claim. and it was quoted by the same ukraine based terrorist group responsible for recent attacks on civilians in rushes, brians regions, ukrainian military convoys destroyed by russian artillery. a troops withdraw from the city of buck, much also known as of jo, most which is almost completely encircled by russian forces. also in the program. it's not process fault. i'm sorry to say it in such blunt terms. you have not been able to restore the sovereignty, runs this president micron pin the blame on the d r. c. 4 regional insecurity as

protesters slum paris for imposing sanctions on russia rather than new wonder, which is accused of fueling violence in the beach. and also i have a 5 percent cover was rail transit occurs through this border process. we report from the new international north south transport corridor through which energy resources are delivered from russia to india by iran. the trade routes expected to reach a capacity of 32000000 tons of cargo annually. by the end of the decade. a must go to the world, you're watching r t international. my name is peter scott, and here the top story is at 4 pm. moscow time, thanks for joining us. original authorities say that they prevented an assassination attempts on a prominent russian businessman konstantin mallet gave. now the russian federal security service has said the assailants intended to plant a in his car. similar to the case of journalists, daria do gonna,

he was allegedly killed by ukrainian agents last year in the moscow region here, hasn't accepted responsibility for that. though. authorities have released footage that appears to show a man tampering with a business funds car before leaving the scene. they claim the attempt was organized by a ukraine based organisation that was also responsible for an attack on civilians in russia's bands. region. where should foreign ministry spokesman murray as a court of us as the western silence speaks about its a legit involvement in the incident? is how constancy mal, if you have reacted 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 a terrorist act in the countries brown's creegan last week where 2 people were killed f, as b says that this latest assassination attempt was supposed to be executed in the same manner as the murder of 4 young journalist fans, a 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 ukrainians, 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 he trans national fall, right, dennis coast it. now the anti defamation league says 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 ukrainian extremis fall right group as well. so when prudent actually goes public aid says he attack was carried out by neo nazis. there's an element truth that state in it. now they're talking about sir denise a posting there, and this same person has also been linked with organizing a terrorist act in the city of vulgar grad in russia. last year. russian security services foiled the 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 leon nazis were sanctions by officials in key of latest revelations by self exile, former russian politicians, and while heads off for arm groups themselves that they allegedly control prove the same point. now to the latest from the war, as russian troops have almost completely surrounded the city of bark, moves also known as of 2 almost italian troops. ukrainian troops or reports were having trouble withdrawing from the area. now this drone footage appears to show ukrainian troops pinned down by artillery and it comes as care reportedly lost one of its most combat effective units in bok, once but as by the immense destruction and ongoing fighting, some people are still actually living in bark notes, ukrainian authorities say at least 4000 people have remained in the city, which is significantly less than its pre war population of around 73000 people. a german c, v h. unless said why some residents could still be in the city with

a correspondence suggesting us to watch the waiting for the russian army. not often fiber would in the case of vomit and in general, and don bass, i'm sure 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. get done while we spoke to colleagues and relatives of for medics killed by ukrainian shilling less than 2 weeks ago. the eminence team was struck by the ukrainian army while it was working to aid victims of a previous, bombardments footage on line appears to show a ukrainian joan survey in the sites is, was a colleague and a family member of one of the victims told us about us 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 areas that were on the mall. shelly, he didn't tell us much about his work because he was worried about me about my mother. my father always wanted to do good because he knew that would be rewarded. he did good deeds, he saith adults and children. he was motivated by law for his fellow countrymen and

his homeland mover that you could approach it is from what sort of place that day korean troops were shelling, denounced the ambulance was out on a coal 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 on before the 2nd strike, which directly hit the ambulance. there were firefighters, as seen help in the victims of the 1st strike. there also hit in the 2nd round of shunning. luckily, they were only wounded. and here's what they fall. this was the view of furniture.

and here we received a report that a building with people in it had been destroyed. our 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 her mind was we were all injured. minerva, broken to rudy. this is my 2nd time this year, been injured. it happened while i was putting out the fire last time a 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 buildings last time. we didn't think it could be deliberate. but now it's obvious. when this comes, as more volunteers from russia are signing up to go to war with ukraine arts, eager to john visited one of the training science in the dentist republic. to learn more. 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. ah, the fighters of the russians special forces unit viking. they're making ready basically, they're teaching russian volunteer vices 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 garza would to well, someone has to do this job. if every one 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. load,

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 one said it was hard and training will be easy in battle. worst courses it gets to real combat conditions, both psychologically and physically. platero. yes, that 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 others share. let's. 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, well, i'm moving on to other news now. the french president's a manuel mccrendon has been questioned about hypocrisy with the country sanctions policy during his tore of africa of france has taken a firm stance against russia over its warn ukraine was hasn't imposed sanctions against wonderful. it's alleged support of the n 23 insurgent group fighting just across that country's border and the democratic republic of the congo equals that don't kill up hoss. 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. and so that goes, we agree with the asi president, this acadie on the need to give the peace plan a chance would have the opportunity to resolve the conflict with am 23. today's not the time to force things by those who will interfere with the implementation of this plan. know what they are risking include in sections of the french, president's tor, in africa, was mired by protests as locals demanded that the former colonial power leave the constant for good. now the less macro did pledge that his country has no plans to interfere in the domestic affairs of african nations. just a head of microns arrival in kinshasa. some congolese demonstrated against his trip to their country outside the french embassy in kinshasa. the crowds accused him a crime of backing lawanda, which the d r c claims is supporting the m 23 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 of the world's 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 and in 2030 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 sol calling for international communities to sanction to wanda and force it to stop supporting militants. microns has been saying that in once a spirit of partnership and collaboration with african countries. but many don't

see these plans coming to fruition because for decades now, frances 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 to put a false balance, not francis false. i'm sorry to say in such blunt terms, you have not been able to restore the sovereignty by the military, more security, northern australia, or 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 was sparking protests, even as a micron, tried to convince the population that the era of france a freak has come to an end to desert if 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 ours. when i read, i hear i see claims that france has intentions, that it does not have that it no longer has that. now it's clear that paris is the thinking to protect economy areas that it has always taken for granted, which are now subject to increased competition from major powers, such as russia, china, and india. and at this point, many see frances move as a way to remain in the continent markets. russia has remained india's top crude oil supplier for a 5th straight month with the record $1600000.00 barrels per day in february. as engine refiners relish the heavily discounted russian oil? no, russia started shipping exports, including energy resources to india by the new international north south transport corridor. russia's 1st deputy prime minister has announced the transportation of cargo through the root is expected to reach 32000000 tons by the year 2030. busy

runs already turned into a vital hub along that route. as archie contributor, yusef jolly explains. hundreds of tons of russian cargo r unloaded every day at the us border terminal. in ne iran. the frontier crossing is now turning into a trans, at top for commodities bounce from russia to the persian gulf coastal countries in india. the 1st tre train on the russia to india route entered iran through the surrounding border crossing last night, and officially launched the eastern section of the north south railway corridor. the head of the 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 give racks has one of the greatest capacities on his 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 predicted transit capacity over at least $10000000.00 tons per year through this border crossing with the c. i. s countries, the indian subcontinent, and pakistan located in the northeastern cross on province. on the border with turk minutes down south terminal, its parts will be 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 raylyn, road routes, which was 1st launched in 2000 on the initiative of iran, russia,

and india. today it encompasses 11 more countries, including turkmenistan. turkey are by john on an antagonist n eh bass said regarding russia, 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 agents states and russia, and also iran succession to this shanghai cooperation organization creates such capabilities and m 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 an alternative trade

route is not just about providing a shortcut for transit, with european shipping routes, being closed up to 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 will leave the north south corridor offers a sanctions prove path for trading russian and iranian goods. this is because the route is mostly inland, which is harder for the sanctioning countries to control. but to that, you have a shadow and he considering the international situation. and what has happened in ukraine, why 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, the retention and investment into this border, which is a special economic zone is increasing day by day. it appears that global

geopolitical developments are re shaping trade networks as well. the north south corridor is now making a name for itself as the new silk wrote in the eastern hemisphere use of jelly r t from sax border terminal over to hungry. now where the speaker of the parliament says that the massive scale of miniature aids and by some western powers, ukraine makes them direct participants in the conflict. that was oh, who dont latoya's? oh, nato and you members have already sent ukraine of one of the belligerent slammer. lethal military means worth almost $60000000.00. like, i think this means that separate you and nato states are participants of this war, though not directly fighting on the battlefield yet for the can you feel actually use given 3600000000 euros, full minutes assistance to ukraine, an anal plans to allocates another 1000000000 for artillery, ukraine's present volume is zalinski is asking for more supplies from the west, specifically ammunition and aircraft. meanwhile,

it seems that tensions between the nato blocked on some european countries are rising. i'll see countries richer monster explains, sold to as once considered pretty much a pacifist is now pumping up the military industrial complex warmer. he investing moreno defense and it is absolutely clear that we will go to 2 percent for g d p, as is the greet and later because we already have the highest defense budget in view pin 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 a leopard, 2 tanks from switzerland because apparently it gave so many leopard, one tanks away to ukraine, that it laps 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 that, oops, are stuck on the street. and pegging for cash yourself. just another example of the amazing foresight and strategic savvy that we hear in europe have come to expect from our leaders and 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 pulling 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 owes them money for reparations. from world war 21.3 trillion euros to be exact. and germany is basically hiding on the floor with. busy 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 peace talks and an end to germany and nato's arming of ukraine, just like in previous protests, up 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. mimi florida, only me and 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 protected ourselves. in addition to the law, we even added a clause on the impossibility of re exporting the ammunition that we sold there without our consent. rob seems like her getcha 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, i'm the e 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 seems set to continue. european commission presidents us live on the lines expected to visit washington for talks with us president joe biden. this week, among the issues to be discussed is china's a legit intention to supply weapons to russia. now many media outlets have reported on us secular sexy of states. anthony, blinking claims that china funds to send weapons to russia. china and russia both denied the allegations. some western officials have threatened imposing sanctions

on beijing if it supplies weapons to moscow. while the wall street journal supported washington's position, the china is a major threat to us national security. it claims that chinese may cranes operates in american ports, could be used by the asian country as an espionage tool. for those reports provided little evidence. the accusations towards beijing comm, us trying to become the world leader in the tech 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. research shows that the powers are losing the global tech race to china with the asian country dominating and $37.00 of the 40 false fears assessed. those include key defense on space tech. the u. s. is ahead

in some fields such as quantum computing on vaccines. chinese leadership, in most technological fields is one of the main reasons why senior officials in washington, you basing 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. well, north korea has cold on the u. n. to holds us and south korea joint military drills . this deputy foreign minister is saying as such, actions have pushed tensions to a, quote, extremely dangerous level. recently the united states and south korea or heating up

the situation on the korean peninsula to an extremely dangerous level with threatening rhetoric and military demonstrations against the democratic people's republic of korea. the united nations in the international community should strongly demand the immediate end of provocative words and actions and joint military exercises by the united states and south korea. which are irresponsibly raising the level of confrontation by heating up the regional situation on the korean peninsula. on north korea, demand comes up to washington on sol announced a 10 day exercise as beginning of march. the 13th shows also took place last month between yourself. cringe upon, young says that the exercises are a hassle for future invasion or south korea stays to the drills are aimed at counseling. north agree north korea's growing aggression in the region union. i'm no 7 freedom shield is designed to strengthen the fence and response capabilities of the alliance by focusing on exercise scenarios on things such as changing security environments and democratic people's republic of korea, aggression and lessons learned from recent wars and conflicts. where shall asia,

political risk analysis ross find gold says that the un secretary general has failed to help resolve this problem. frankly. un secretary general. i, i don't think he showed himself to be much of a problem solver in recent issues, whether that could be russia and ukraine or north korea issue or any number of other issues. he's there and he shows up. but it seems like there are other organizations that, that take the lead on many of the global issues that i think just as, as a member of the global public, you would have hope that the united nations or the un secretary general had a higher profile or a more active role on these issues. one reason why north korea might be appealing to him is simply that they know he's not likely to do anything. whether that's because he doesn't want to or because he's, he's proven that he's often incapable of throughout. for now, my name is peter scott,

i'll be back again the top of the hour with all the latest news views and losses. right too often. thanks very much for watching. ah ah the.
