a slice off some of that in the customer, the whole shame, those one bob a ah, the west escalates that ukrainian conflict and pursues its own geopolitical agenda while undermining beijing proposed piece plan. those words from china's foreign minister at the 2 sessions, major political event in the country. regrettably, however, efforts for peace talks have been repeatedly undermined. there seems to be an invisible hand pushing for the per traction and escalation of the conflict. russia has sent 20000 tons of fertilizer to malawi as a part of moscow's plan to combat hunger by providing a central goods to developing nations. and as russian troops nearly

around the city of the, almost in the don. yes, republic, western media changed their narrative. downplaying the significance of the stronghold. we discussed this with a panel of guess. given the ukranian was, i don't think it said in significant and you look at the territory. that's later. that's significant territory. if the russians take it back over it, i think if you were to the people who stayed there are waiting directions to live in the city. ah, good afternoon for mark international students in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories worldwide. i'm fear allies about at the chinese key political event called the 2 sessions. the countries foreign minister said he hopes the you will embrace strategic independence from the u. s. after the

end of the ukrainian conflict, adding that the west is escalating the conflict and pursuing its own agenda while undermining the proposed chinese piece plan. earlier you honish, regrettably, however, efforts for peace talks have been repeatedly undermined. there seems to be an invisible hand pushing for the per traction and escalation of the conflict and using the cream crisis to serve a certain geo political agenda. while the u. s. fully supports ukraine, china's foreign minister says washington, simultaneously vis or facts chinese sovereignty tensions intensified. last august when us house speaker nancy pelosi paid an official visit to taiwan despite china's protege, who was working a sharp response from b jane and prompting large scale military drills around the island. the minister made a comparison same that on one hand, the u. s. respects the territorial integrity of ukraine, but on the other,

it disregards the fact that tie one is an undeniable part of china. i love and t shirt from god. the chinese people have every right to ask. why does the us talk about respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity and ukraine, while disrespecting china sovereignty and territorial integrity on the taiwan question, why does you ask us china not to provide weapons to russia while it keeps selling arms to taiwan in violation of the august 17th communique, why does the u. s. keep on professing the maintenance of regional ties and stability while cowardly formulated in a plan for the destruction of taiwan? we minister intensified is rhetoric opposing the interference by anal cyprus is on activities relate to taiwan independence. and i, he reiterated that timeline in china's 1st right line that united states must not cross an essay. he said that the resolution of that tie one issue is a matter for the chinese people and no other country in this plan on this planet

has the right to interfere. he also reiterated, china retains the option to take all necessary measures to achieve the so called great unification with taiwan. and he also blame the you as for the right intentions between washington and aging and said that if the u. s. does not change his path. there gonna be some conflict and confrontation waiver us talks a lot about following rules, immersion to athletes, competing in olympic race if one athlete instead of focusing on given one's best, always tries to trick or injure the other. that's not fair competition, put malicious confrontation and a foul. it's so called establishing guard rails and not seeking conflict simply means that china should not respond in words or action when slandered or attacked. that's just impossible. if the united states has not hit the break but continues to go down the wrong path, no amount of guard rails could prevent derailing,

and there surely will be conflict and confrontation. shingle says that he is very much against using competition to character, characterize the rarely relationship with the united states, and has a cat, the so called 0 sum game narratives are the so called a cold war attitude. a he also added that the beijing would not remain silent if the u. s. slender or attack china and as to prime, china will not make america great again or stop is rejuvenation. earlier we spoke with the chair professor at stew chow university victor gal. he says by supporting ty, one's independence, the u. s. violates chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity is not only disrespect. it's one to a violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. and tumbling all the principal, which is secret that there is only one. china and taiwan is polish child illogical,

a t and b. it digital mercy and to the galaxy of the u. s. positions that they want to treat taiwan as a sovereign independent country, the support the taiwan independence and taiwan separatism. this is an affront against the chinese nation. it's a violation of the one child policy. it's a violation of the child sovereignty n territorial integrity. if the united states crosses the point of no return, a supporting tie was separatism and independence. for example, then, china will use whatever means available to achieve the national relocation rushes. vegas fertilizer producer has provided $20000.00 tons of the essential growing minerals to malawi. as russia seeks to help african nations combat food and security. this is part of the company's previously announced intention to provide

nearly $300000.00 tons free of charge to developing countries. the initiative is focused on easing the global food prices and is being implemented in accordance with the un plan which aims for 0 hunger, improved nutrition. and a promotion of sustainable agriculture? well i, we says it's thankful for russia's aid with smiley is place to be this country to receive fertilizer from europe. oh, the countries that have been added to slate feet that allows you to be the 1st one . we're place for that day to the grateful i can ever say. thank you, not the be russian government and your account for what you owe down to concert or rescue way we needed you the most it to friend knows know with a true friend cause to the rescue. when you need them to was,

you just demonstrated that to us, the russian ambassador to my law waste as moscow hopes western countries will open up ports to allow russian shipments to deliver essential goods to the nations in need. but believe that it is very high time for the rest, the countries to unblock russian food for $30.00 in bonded and some poor to lessen countries. so we could continue delivering agricultural products to africa and to all the parts of the world. meanwhile, the central african republic says its resources have been exploited and loaded for decades by western powers. that's the message from the countries leader during a u. n. conference in could tar central african republic has always been wrongly considered by suit morrison powers as a reserve for strategic materials. it her suffered a systematic looting since its independence helped by political instability

supported by certain western powers or their allies. this comes as africa struggles with food insecurity, with millions of people at risk of starvation, as the un mediated greendale between russia and ukraine has not been able to deliver on its total goal of helping the continent where most of the food exports have been taken by european countries, instead of being sent to africa and president adara isn't the only one who's criticized the western treatment of africa as the un secretary general outline problems, developing nations phase, specifically predatory interest rates deprived of liquidity. many of you are locked out of capital markets by predatory interest rates, deprived of effective debt relief. you can be forced to spend an ever growing share of government revenue on death service costs. we spoke to independent analysts will

car ds, he says, the west imposing sanctions on developing countries for cooperating with russia and china in order to preserve their ability to exploit resources. the must part of the poor countries. the african countries are, are dependent on only of the 1st order and debbie's from the western countries. we need a debt support survive and sometimes we feeling like new london is near enough already tell it to show sometimes the russian government of the china government to make some deals created. some problems with the western countries maybe can did the relationship with the duration with the western countries. because really, you know, the most part of the western county said i like russia, in particular, for some time dad is the one

a big problem for african countries. you don't have any solution if you want money to development our economy. if you're going to other countries who are yeah, we have created one of the problems in the future and on the front lines in the done yet for public rushes. wagner group is spearheading the assault on the key stronghold of our deal. most also known as bach. mood almost completely surrounding the city, while the entrench ukrainian troops have been partially cut off. this on verified footage circulating on social media shows wagner soldiers replacing a ukrainian flag with their own on top of a russian monument in the eastern part of already almost according to the troops they arrived at the world war 2 era memorial before retreating. ukrainian troops could destroy it with explosives. meanwhile, washington is now trying to down play the significance of the key city. the fall of

buffalo 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. this comes as western media has also changed a narrative around the russian is saw on the city. now similarly, downplaying its significance, while previous reports labeled the city key and strategic, the narrative now suggests the stronghold is not so important and has mostly symbolic value. the narrative change comes as a german media outlet reported on disputes between ukrainian president the lensky and his top commander. regarding the situation already, almost, according to the report, the ukrainian general told zalinski about the need for you, cranium troops to retreat from the study weeks ago. but just recently, the ukranian president refused and said kev will continue the fight. earlier my colleagues, nikki aaron and donald quarter, discuss the issue with a panel of guess 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 man power 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 blood bath 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 key f 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 our traumas. 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 turn of back move, it is not strategically important. it could lead to the full, a slow hands can comp 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 the dumbass. but you

gotta 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 given the ukrainian losses. i don't think it said insignificant and just to prove, put, i think would be a demoralizing factor for the ukrainians at this point. if they were to just 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. so we know that thousands of civilians are reportedly chosen to remain inside of scope, but others have been trying to flee. so what exactly do we know about the situation in the city at the moment? while without a doubt that 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 troops. gotta find the case of the moot, and in general, the dumbass people confidently say or are thinking that they will wait for russia to come because they are over pro russian position. despite some people saying otherwise many preferred to seek safety with the russians. those who have stayed in buck mood are 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 people's republic based on your own experience. 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 a waiting for the russians to come in. maybe there are people who go out because like money or whatever, they didn't know where to go to. but i think if you are to the people who are waiting directions to liberate the city, and this is where we saw before in the other 15 liberators. before the russians cutting for monday's revelations from the f s b, which says it is stored in the ukrainian time targeting russian businessman and georgia, this konstantin 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. and this,

this conflict, this is the same organization that carried out an attack on the russian border region of beyond sc a terrorist attack. they open 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 try 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 or harvey says that we're seeing a trends develop here. the silence of western regimes that are usually hyperactive concerning amy case of journal discrimination after the attempted assassination of target channels had constant in my faith would mean their silent consent to such crimes. this would also indicate ideological coach and coming from extremist actions of gives bandits andre, your 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? unfortunately, we do not see a willingness on the side of the, of the countries that, that run to integrate ukraine into their sphere 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 assassination a terrorist from ukrainian special services and his accomplices, involved in a sabotage at a bela rouge. an air field at the end of february have been detained. that's according to bela region. president alexander loop is shank go who also noted that

the russian ukrainian national was recruited by ukraine in 2014 to prepare terror attacks. it comes as earlier video emerged, showing the flight of a small fi kamikaze drone toward russian aircraft at the military air field in bella. ruth earlier it was portrayed on social media as a drone strike. but later when the full video emerged, it's a, become a parents, it was a recognizance mission, as it was seen that the drone circle the area and landed on an aircraft radar and then flew away and will, culture is psychological slavery. those words from an indian american to 2020 for us presidential hopeful vivek, rama swami. i called out the 3 secular religions in america that have america in a chokehold today. the 1st of them is this woke racial religion that says your identity is based on your skin color, that if you're black,

you're inherently disadvantaged. that if you're white, you're inherently privilege, no matter your economic background or your upbringing, that your race determines who you are and what you can achieve in life. his statement comes amid a chorus. from conservatives have criticize a platform, highly popular among democrats. their key criticisms are that cancel culture is an ideology produced to apprise those who disagree with the woke ideology originally defined as being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination. today the term has swept up a variety of other causes like algae, b, t, q, and climate change. a book by the presidential contender titled woke inc and side corporate america's social justice scam has been published. you explain the other side of the perspective. we spoke to columnist and commentator are, and on mac or g, who says the agenda is now used as a tool for geopolitical manipulations. i am,

i'm very excited that somebody like the big around the saw me was a brilliant guy who resourceful guy financially successful was announced as a candidate for president to buy united 2024. i'm pretty hopeful about what the grounds for me says that there has been plenty of cases, but people have lost their jobs. people have lost their professional practice. people have lost it 10 years as college professors, people have even been suspended from the social media for expressing values and for expressing opinions which are not going to walk enough. and that's this, this, this kind of, this kind of usage of this block from a walk isn't, was a cultural weapon, is still, i would say, on an individual, you know, this, this has been on an individual basis. these days, as we speak with them is being used as a geopolitical laws. i mean, just about a few months ago, we have the french pressed and talk about it. we're not going to allow something

like with something to the effect of saying that you're not going to allow american culture in our land. and walk isn't, is being used as a geopolitical tool, as we speak to sort of it the indian culture a system. we go to undermine the indic value system over here. so yes, it is being used individually against people. it is also being used politically as you politically, as a support by the countries a prominent tunisian politicians daughter is urging britain to seek the release of sight for johnnie, who's been imprisoned by the technician, government, and in a legit effort to silence critics of the countries president, she nicea is heading down a very worrying pulse of authoritarianism and it is important that the u. k. speaks out strongly against this as a democratically elected politician and leading figure into mizzi in politics. my dad has played an instrumental role in promoting democracy and human rights into

nicea since the arab spring, his imprisonment along with at least 16 other political prisoners this month, including politicians, journalists, and judges. is a blatant attempt to suppress opposition. voices said for johnny was arrested in the north african country last month. he is accused of conspiring against the head of state and fomenting payoff for johnny previously lived in exile in the u. k. before returning to his own country, after the so called 2011 revolution and serving as an m p from the a, not a party to me just post arab spring, government has also been accused of corruption and widespread in effectiveness. calling the 2011 revolution tunisia, economic growth has virtually all, while some establish economic monopolies have remained, the public sector has been bricked by labor strike. if her president was elected in 2019 a middle record, low voter turnout and has struggled to secure public support,

locals have been rallying and supportive political prisoners in the nation. and we heard from some of them in the countries capital. oh no, i've been there last day. we consider security forces as non republican. they were affiliated to k. he said, who is illegitimate? because he bridge the constitution of use the trust and his mental the state. he is an illegitimate who perpetrated a crime against the country, and those security forces have prevented us from rallying, even though we had notified them about at 72 hours in advance as per law. morality, and i've been out of his award. these president has no ears. i don't think he does not listen to anyone. he's a dictator who does not have the capacity to dictate and he puts people in prison because he fears it and does not know that active is do not fear any prisoner and alanine. i'm here today to support the detainees, or rather they're kidnapped by the state because there is no legal action against them. there is a detainee brush it,

i carry in critical condition and he's suffering from a disease and he's on the brink of death. likewise, there is another guy whose health condition is critical, so they are not get a knee. spect kid matt and about to die. there are numerous humanitarian cases like them. red star radio editor and political analyst, alexander mckay, says just holding elections doesn't make a democratic nation. the issues that created the arab spring in tunisia which were fundamentally economic issues. and also the revolts in egypt, which was again about economic issues. those problems have largely not been sold by the governments that came to power after the arab spring result. it's been made much worse. and this comes down to questions of sovereignty until these nations, the, the arab nations recover their sovereignty, are able to assert that sovereignty are both on an economic and political level.

then these problems are going to keep reoccurring because it is about fundamentally control of the economy by a local, i least that is tied to western powers, mainly the europeans and the americans. and therefore, you have governments which are not acting in the interest of the great masses of the people. you can have all the elections and summits about democracy that you like and bless you all, securing sovereignty and control over your own nation's resources over your own economy. then the political changes just won't matter. it's been revealed that to cranium pilots are now undergoing training on f. 16 simulators in the u. s. this has field speculation that washington is preparing to donate the judge to kev, despite publicly refusing the claim. 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 care of as, as washington to send over the f sixteens for months. the training of the ukrainian pilots in the u. s. is reportedly aimed at evaluating how long it would take them to be ready to operate the aircraft while president biden has said he's not considering giving of 16 to key of any time. soon he refused to roll out. doing so in the future. former ca analyst larry johnson says washington training of the ukrainian pilots may just be an attempt to please us critics. we're calling for the fighter aircraft to be delivered. the part of it's, 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 a new 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 moved because ukraine would no longer have an effective military to supply such weapon systems to, to rap on the top stories. this our, for more up to the minute updates head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on telegram odyssey rumble and gab from our content. thanks for joining and we'll see you back at the top of the hour the ah, i
