the news the me the russia prevents and assassination of a permanent journalist in moscow, claiming it was planned by the same ukraine base terrorist group which kills to civilian nations. region last week. a russian artillery obliterate for ukrainian military convoy that tries to flee from the city of on him . all school commutes, which is almost completely surrounded by advancing to are considered dropping to deal with the us buying at 16 in phase of russian or chinese fighter jet ta. things out on washington as ability to keep using on feel to

pressure on the serbian tennis. a joke basis denied entry to the us again over his were field refusal to vaccinate. again, we investigate how washington's anti virus and i was just all reportedly obsolete according to the latest twitter falls. revelations. the news as well, malcolm, you're working on the international with the latest news update is great to have, you know, on the front lines in the don't. yes, we're public. russian troops have almost completely surrounded the key city of archer, moscow, also known as punk mood. while the entrench, ukrainian garrison has reportedly been partially cut off and he's having trouble pulling his troops ounce of the combat zone. and some of the latest drone footage from the battlefield shows we're treating ukrainian army vehicles pinned down and

taking losses from russian. all hillary fire, according to some reports, many of kids most experian. the affective soldiers have been killed in action during the months long, bustle for mosque rushes. wagner group is spearheading the assault on the city, on verify footage circulating on social media power. the shows wagner soldiers replacing a ukrainian flag with their own on top of a rush and tank monuments in the eastern part of our term of. according to the wagner troops, they go to the world war 2 era monuments before retreating. ukrainian troops could destroy it with explosives. meanwhile, ukraine's american life and now trying to down play the significance of the russian advance. the fall as bus moved won't necessarily mean that the russians have changed the tide of this fight. i think it's more of a symbolic value than it is a strategic and operational and other developments russian authority say they

thought it an assassination attempt on prominent businessman. i'm still on the list . constantino mala fear in moscow. the f. b stays the suspect. plaza, the bomb on the policy of cob, but the security service managed to safely disarm the device. russia has a keys, the ukraine base, neo nazi organization of orchestrating the attempt to attack key as has denied its involvement. while i discussed the assassination attempt, as well as the battle for 2 months with our correspondent, followed quarter and a panel of experts. course, the pentagon now says it's not strategic, but it doesn't really make much sense for both sides to be putting so much effort. so much manpower into either holding or taking a city that was never of any real strategic importance. i mean, in the recent weeks, the wagner private military company has done just that. they've essentially almost nearly encircled the ukranian troops that are still within the city who have found themselves in

a bloodbath just to maintain the defense of it. their on direct orders from ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, who said these troops need to hold their ground and they need to fight down to the last man, but we have heard reports actually of descent within ukrainian ranks. apparently, the commander in chief of the ukrainian armed forces is saying that kia should, at this point just caught its losses and withdrawal from the city. now, if we go by what the mainstream media says, it might seem that these ukrainian held cities of strategic importance all the sudden stopping strategic once they're just about to switch hands. this is what we saw, the mainstream media say about solid are when it was just on the brink of being liberated by the russian forces and the dynamic people's republic. and now that's what we're seeing them say about arch almost russian forces, trying to take the strategic town of back that the city itself is not that strategically important, which all earlier in the strategic town of bah, move it is not strategically important. it could lead to the full,

a slow vienne sc, uncommon tools because well, the 2 most important cities in the dumbass there is little strategic value. um, it's not a military hub, is not a communications hub, michael maloof, i'd like to direct this 1st question to you. what do you think about the how important the battle for the city is for both sides? and what do you make of this? you turn in washington's position, it can be a significant, strategically significant given it's access to the rest of dumbass for to you got to keep in mind lloyd. austin oversaw the withdrawal of us troops out of iraq back in 2011 and what crept in isis. so i don't really care that much for his strategic analysis. and number 3, it would take a lot of ukraine troops out of the fight. and i think that this is what they want to do, what your take is about. this reported dissent within the ukrainian military rank.

so the, the commander in chief of the armed forces is saying that after all, the ukrainian military should cut its losses and leave while the lensky really wants these ukrainian troops to fight down to the last man. well maybe they have some kind of a strategic withdrawal issue that they want to pursue another area, possibly or are they psychologically trying to play on the, on the minds of the russians and also try to bolster the ukrainians. however, the given the ukrainian was us, i don't think it said insignificant and just to put, i think would be a demoralizing factor for the ukrainians at this point. if they weren't just to get up and, and leave. and you look at the territory that's there. that's significant territory . if the russians take it back over the phone, we know that thousands of civilians are reportedly chosen to remain inside our tim mobs can, but others have been trying to flee. so what exactly do we know about the situation

in the city? at the moments while, without a doubt, the vast majority of the civilian population of this city has been evacuated, but several 1000 civilians have still remained. and you gotta, you gotta ask yourself, why would they say in a completely demolished city, when they know that there's going to be serious military operations in the area. and according to what we've seen, actually, both in the, even the western media and the accounts of ukrainian soldiers. what we've seen is that a lot of people have stayed behind because they've a way to be a rival of russian groups. gotta find a case of the moot and in general, the dom bass, people confidently say or are thinking that they will wait for russia to come because they are over pro russian position. you know, shorter literally yes. today we sell through a drone to local women with bags and the residential area approach the russian soldier. and they went with him towards russian control territory. despite some

people saying otherwise, many preferred to seek safety with the russians. those who have stayed in buck moods waiting for assistance to go to russian control territory. the locals here have waited and waited for russians and refused to leave through ukrainian corridors. sonya, you've been in the dining at people's republic based on your own experience. what would you say which side do you think the locals are taking in cities that are in battled across the people's republic? like our chalmers, it's very important for dad because the people waiting for the russians to come in . maybe there are people not go out because money or whatever, they didn't know where to go to. but i think the majority of the people who stayed there are waiting directions to liberate the city. and this is where we saw before in other cities liberated before right russians. so you have my majority minority who will say on this that's, i think, the whole point cutting for monday's revelations from the f s. b,

which says it is story say to ukrainian a type targeting russian businessman and june of this constant and mellow 5th. what are the details of that story? well, according to russia's federal security services, the russian volunteer corps, that was behind this assassination attempt on this journalist. this is a ukrainian military detachment made up of russia neo nazis ultra nationalists who have were ideologically motivated to support the ukrainian military in this this conflict. this is the same organization that carried out an attack on the russian border region of brianna sca terrorist attack. they opened, fired on civilians and killed and injured a number of people. unfortunately, this isn't the 1st time that we've seen. going back to this fascination attempt on the journalist, it's not the 1st time we've seen ukrainian forces tried to assassinate journalists that have nothing to do with military activities. last year. daria duke and i was also killed by the ukrainian security services and rushes foreign ministry

spokeswoman. maria's harvest says that we're seeing a trends develop here the silence of western regimes that are usually hyper active concerning any case of journal of discrimination. after the attempted assassination of target channels had constant in le thief would mean their silent consent to such crimes. this would also indicate ideological coach and coming from extremist actions of gifts. bandits, andre, you're an attorney and a law professor. what's your take on the legal status of these cases? and do you think that they can be prosecuted an international level? i mean, why have western countries been apparently turning a blind eye to these ukrainian attacks the target russians? well, the, the law that should govern warfare is actually called humanitarian law. and it's been disrespected for, for about 30 years now. and all the conflicts that we've seen. so some of my colleagues argue that said, practice has just invalidated them. unfortunately,

we do not see a willingness on the side of the, of the countries that, that one to integrate ukraine and to their fear of influence. no reduction in sight of further weapons supplies and, and no rush, no, no rational approach to this the, the battle cry is whatever it takes and whatever it takes means by any means whatsoever, including illegal including assassinations including the, the killings of prisoners, a war the, the ill treatment of prisoners, a walk, the entire propaganda machine is, is continuing as so i'm pessimistic. i don't foresee less a cruelty and less bloodshed question to you. sonya, obviously we've seen nato countries, basically giving a blank check for weapons deliveries to ukraine in this conflict. do you think that

those actions that nato is taking, makes the military alliance a party to the conflict? and i think so recently, i think when you look at the total is about $16000000000.00. what they had given now in, in, in military base is how they call it. and of course they are, people say, we apartment and an apartment, a conflict, the another, direct conflict with russia. but i think in my opinion, if you give all these weapons to ukraine, you are important part of the conflict. they are planning. it's already actually in 2014, as we know what immense good women which failed, of course, if we know the vehicle wrong. but actually what they said is that they were military ukraine students already. so i think they are part of award. they are waging on russia and they use the foxes in ukraine, their mercenary,

ukrainian army. so it makes them complicit. it makes them warm. and this is what i think i talk us intelligence official has admitted that washington is using ukraine to confront, to russia. so that's a mock warner say. it is crucial for k sponsoring care, so that it soldiers can fight instead of americans. we spent 800000000 dollars year on defense, most of my life time to prevent russia from exploiting that we're having ukrainians . do that right now in a sense in for us? i think we need to continue that. mark warner noted that $113000000000.00 has already been allocated to ukraine, including $60000000000.00 and military aid. he said it's crucial for the us to continue providing support in order to defeat america's adverse, to read russia and china. and warner isn't the only us official who said ukraine is doing washington dirty work, as washington's former bosses' it to the un that,

that the u. s. is basically war with russia using ukrainian hands. the former us marine and geopolitical analysts told us that washington confrontation with russia is big business for the us military industrial complex. without an enemy, the united states has no budget for their intelligence services or their military. they have to have an enemy, and they look at china and they look at russia and the point to finger and say, that's our enemy. so they can fear monger in the united states to keep this money flowing. i mean, look, they're not standing up against russia because russia is not showing any aggression towards the united states at all. they have not, this is a war of greed. this is a war where they are using the ukrainian military to sell weapons. and they don't care who gets killed their weapons are being used for terrorist

attacks on civilians in the dumbass i've been there, i've seen myself and there's not a lot else that can be said about that. there's nothing that can be said in defense of what the united states is doing. well, you know, they can't say that they are war with russia because the people won't stand for it . we've already seen protests in washington dc. we've seen protests in germany and in france and other countries around the world about the, the assistance financially and militarily that these countries have been providing to ukraine. ah, and this war itself is a making of these western policies. i mean, there's no question about it. turkey may reverse his decision to buy f sixteens from the us and consider acquiring 5 to just one countries like russia or china. instead that's according to

a member of the turkish president. security on foreign policies council, i believe, is also the earthquakes to t. i will give all possible for the 16th because it is a 20000000000 dollar package to k should immediately changes decision for f sixteens to some other option. for instance, f, 35 were on the table to care, was expecting to get 35 before. now there are other options, like the chinese jets, which was sold to pakistan, russian jets, and also europe in fighter jets. last month, some us senator said congress would not support a $20000000000.00 deal on f. 16 cells to turkey year and so anchor ratifies, the nato membership of sweden and finland will take care also considered buying guests. 35, just back in 2021. but washington blocks the deal because anchor were decided to purchase russian s $400.00 defense systems. despite the pentagon warning to quote, change course, and last month 13 were shaken by earthquakes,

that left over $45000.00 people dead. and another 100000 injured. the catastrophe had a devastating effect for my country. they call me with reconstruction costs estimated . i got woods of $84000000000.00 according to an official the needed funds are contributing factor to turkey has review of expenditures. case political analysts say non gives all sounds say the gent deal has been political science by washington . ceasing kitchen is more political than media to the financial turkeys, a member of nato, f. 152. and normally we are cooperating that united states, but from 2016 to now on the us pollution to turkey. and turkish government is start to change. united states using this is 16 view as kind of a threat against okie. they are using the subject of christian and the united states is threatening to just companies which are continue to negotiate. continue

to have a trade with russia day. they are using this military opportunity to the political . busy political to so i think that the, the statement from the in one of the whites of mr. president and the gun means that she could talk to negotiate with united states in this, if 16. and i think it's a, it's a step forward. meanwhile in the us has been revealed that to ukrainian pilots and now when the going training on f, 16 simulators well, this is filled, fresh speculation that washington is preparing to donate such find the jets to kid despite publicly refusing to do so. since we haven't made the decision to provide f sixteens and neither have our allies in partners, it doesn't make sense to start to train them on a system. they may never get. he has been begging washington to send f sixteens to

ukraine for months. the training of the ukrainians in the us is reported the aimed at evaluating how long it would take for them to be ready to operate. real jets, president biden has said he's not considering giving a 16 to key if anytime soon, but has refused to rule out doing so in the future. for my c, i a analyst and ceo of book associates, lowery, johnson, said washington training of the ukrainian pilot could be an attempt to play kate's us. critics. calling for f 16 spoke you part of its, i think political theater. you've got members of both the democrat and republican parties in the united states, demanding all the bio ministration needs to provide fighter jets to ukraine. so one way to at least feed that illusion is to say ok, we're starting to train to pilots and hope hope that that will play kate these critics until that situation clarifies in the crime. because, you know, candidly,

if it continues going as it has with ukraine, losing territory, losing forces. and the russians continuing to shoot down any aircraft the ukrainians put up and put up in the air. the whole question of providing their f sixteens could become moot because ukraine would no longer have an effective military to supply such weapon systems to $37.00 out of 40 reserve pilots in the israeli. and 4th of that, they will not take part in drills that scheduled to wednesday. joining nationwide protest against prime minister benjamin netanyahu is proposed judicial reforms instead of training the pilots have announced they will hold a debate regarding the government's potential decision that comes in. they don't going protest across the nation with thousands of israelis have taken to the streets in discontent, of what they call an attack on democracy. police have use this don't grenade sounds,

was kind of to disperse, the crowns, but citizens that remains, osmond on beds and i feel proud they are trying to scare us. stop us from protesting preventive from our rights from doing what we're doing here tonight. i don't know, i am, i know we never believe we would be in this situation, but i am happy to see that we're fighting that we're not giving up. we will keep protesting. it shows how important it is. it really warms my heart to see what's going on here and hopefully we'll succeed. former israeli air force brigadier general told us that the extremists in the netanyahu government have not only weakens the nation's military, but also increase the chances of violence in the west bank. air force is built on the strength of the hits reserve pilots, and so the quant consequence, in the short while, let's say within a month or so, people don't lose your proficiencies. but if they don't come to fly regularly

within several months, it'll weaken the air force are quite considerably. but this is a blended the judicial revolution by the author of government and the parliament, a few critic intervention and media inhibitions. ah, and basically it's a blitzkrieg on democracy, which is fueled by a right wing extremist and prime minister who's held in the clause. now that the extreme right have a gotten a about 10 percent of the votes and are holding the prime minister. i would say almost as a hostage, there are pressing for to be a more aggressive with the palestinians. and this immediately the rocks and may rock in violence in the west back. so of this is a,

another, a point in this particular conflict where you have internal problems and external problems intermixed. and this government is, at least for the last 2 months, have made every mistake possible to drive the situation into the deadlock that we're seeing now. so the antennae, steepest on novak joke of which has been denied entry into the us. once again, i have his absence of the coven vaccine. it was that compete of the indian wells tournament, which takes off on monday in california. america is the anti cove. it measures house box and hated controversy and debate following the latest revelations from the twitter files, as archie contribute to rachel mazda expense to the 2nd year. the joke of ich, currently right 1st in the world for men's singles, has been unable to attend tournaments in the united states because he's chosen to

not get the coven job. last year. he miss indian wells, the miami miami open, and the us open. grand slam. all that came in the wake of that major fiasco after he landed in melbourne last year for the australian open grand slam. he was grilled for 6 hours by border guards of one of the strict discovered regimes on the planet at the time before being banned from entry. at the time a previous coven infection was accepted by tennis australia for a medical exemption to the job requirement. and a visa to play in australia was issued on that basis. but the government said that natural immunity alone was never sufficient to enter the country and deported him. but that rule has now vanished in australia, which isn't the case for visiting the united states and that seats the white house just fine. while coven 19 is no longer the disruptive threat, that it once was the administration of poses congressional action to reverse the

vaccination requirement for non citizen non immigrants entering the united states by air. this policy has allowed loved ones across the globe to re unite while reducing the spread of coven 19 and the burdens of places on the health care system in the united states. now, last month, the republican majority in u. s. congress voted to drop those job mandates for foreigners wanting to enter the united states. the democrat minority wanted to keep the rule, arguing that if they pass allotted, drop it, then they won't be able to control entry. if the pandemic just happens to flare up again, sometime in the future, it might actually be the only time that so many democrats could be bothered to even care about the countries borders and who came in through them. but the republicans argue that it's about time that the united states catches up. busy with the rest of the world, this policy is out of touch with the rest of the world. ending the vaccine requirement will align the united states with the rest of north america's coven,

19 vaccine policy for people coming into the country. we know the western governments went out of their way to manipulate their own citizens over cove. it, the former british held secretary, not hancock, wanted to scare brits into complying with locked down rules that were constantly changing. that's according to bomb shell revelations on newly to what's out messages. and last december, twitter c, e o e lawn must worked with a journalist to reveal the collusion between the social media platform that he had just purchased and government authorities to manipulate and censor public debate in the united states over cove. it the united states government pressured twitter and other social media platforms to elevate certain content and suppress all the content about coven 19. so what we're seeing here is a very cosy, if not collusive relationship between the u. s. government and the so called free press, that it's constantly lecturing other countries about upholding. so there's an awful

lot of politics lurking behind the so called science as we've seen here. and much like countries facing us sanctions these made in america coven restrictions blocking the world's best tennis player from competing on us soil. pretty much just means that he'll have to focus on the rest of the world. independent journalist charlie boyle, says washington zante cove. it meshes are completely outdated and people like joke of it should not be paying the price america as a pretty old record, most of them are not just when trump with an office but by the margin marginally, better, the trunk. but that's not difficult to measure which is been going on with the 2 years now. make absolutely no sense because if you're already an american citizen and you don't have to be resident, but if you happen to be there for whatever reason,

you're free to go around and crates as much as you back, non propaganda as you want. nothing. but then dr. bitch, who has an exemption? by the way, i already have no one else seems to care about kind of in the entire planet right now. it's also not allowed despite the fact that i said this a 1000000 before he's no finance you back. so it's just a completely, completely ridiculous ah, more than 20 russian cities, including moscow will host some of india's top filmmakers on their works when a work week long indian film festival kicks off on tuesday. the theme of the event is love as a focus is on both romantic and dramatic human stories. the festival will showcase them indian classics, as well as new releases the asian nations films on gaining increasing popularity and countries like russia, china, and saudi arabia, where western cinema is being phased out in favor of alternative productions. we

spoke with the founder of the indian films company who explained the significance of the festival in russia. there hadn't been a huge gap between the boss during the soviet times i'm talking about now. all that gap has to be filled out, but it takes time. so slowly and on a regular basis, definitely, we are trying our best, including all the government resources. we have the ministry of culture, russia, the indian embassy support. odd and a culture centered support of india and the producers of guilt. they all are in huge interest and support for the russian market as well as law. the indian market is open for the russian producer, and the indians are very supportive about it. they want to experiment with new

content. they are very, the youth is very, very interested in knowing what is happening, what is shown in other parts of the world. and i just did this whole developed since our relations with india have always been strong, both in political and cultural aspects. so i hope that the styles will become closer in the coming months in years. we also hope that we will be able to completely break the stereotypes for our viewers so that they come and watch and in cinema, which is really worthy. often no worse in hollywood. we're not talking about established blockbusters like marvel and so on. but i believe that our ties will only grow and strengthen moore's mom. was at the concert of more of the latest news updates from around the world. you can check our website, r t dot com. thank you for choosing us international.
