10:07 am
leaving several officers injured. ambulances arrived to help treat any casualties. earlier on tuesday, the proposed foreign agent loss part clashes between doors and lawmakers inside parliament. thus, despite the initiative which the u. s. embassy in the country has described as kremlin, inspired being approved by a majority of m. p. 's ortiz, marina co server, has more details. this, a foreign agent law basically means that any organizations receive in foreign fun didn't have to register as foreign agents, basically that they are working in the interests of the country that is given them . those funds. we've seen in the past how such situations have been used by other countries that want to influence the politics within a particular nation. and this is what they use. they fund opposition movements, either through various and g o. so to try and form public perception by funding, for example, even private news organizations. so the absolute majority,
10:08 am
however often piece voted in favor of this bill. this just passed the 1st reading, so there will be more, however, the president of the country already spoke out and said that she's absolutely against this bill. and she said she fears for the countries future with the west. if this passes, it's gone. this law can be cancelled in any way you want from day one. i said i would veto this law and i will veto it. i do not care about it's article my article discussion. it's similarity to the old american law, which we well know, service completely different purpose. those who support this law and those who voted for this law are violating constitution. you're taking us all away from europe also said that she stands next to the processors is with them. she supports them, and she said that they represent the flea, ga, today, a ga that sees itself that sees its future within europe. this is why we can see some of the crowds there waving that a e u flag, and then chancing slogans of support there. now,
10:09 am
even though she said that she could a repeal of the law, if across as her das the ruling a dream party are said to have the parliamentary majority. so it's unclear whether shall be actually able to veto that. now georgia has already been warned by the west, the garden, this legislation, for example, on tuesday, the 8th, you released the statement saying that this draft legislation is incompatible with e values and sanders. and it could have serious repercussions on the country and their relationship in the future. and of course, the united states, back in february, they also issue the statements and the u. s. department spokespersons said anyone boats and for this legislation could also jeopardize george as relationship with europe and the united states. and also let's have a look at the statements released by the u. s. embassy enjoys are basically echoing the same sentiments today's a dark day for georgia democracy parliament's advancement of these kremlin inspired laws is incompatible with the people of george's clear desire for european
10:10 am
integration and his democratic development pursued. these laws will demo george's relations with his strategic partners and undermined the important work of so many georgian organisations were, can to help their fellow citizens, the process, and the draft laws res, real questions about the ruling parties, commitment to euro, atlantic integration. so we have the stand off, it seems which resulted already in classes, as we've seen. sort of eerily echoing what we saw and key of back in 2014. and after that they didn't want to sign the e association agreement. so we'll be monitoring the situation and see how it ends, how it unfolds. if this is it, or if will continue, the georgia parliament speaker warned that the 2014 might on unrest has only brought chaos and d stabilization to ukraine. and ga does not want to go down the same path. what about the my done and what did it bring to ukraine? that last gray me and most of the guns can danielle sk,
10:11 am
the continuation of fall. this is the war that is going on in ukraine today. this is the result of the processes that the radicals in georgia want will act not in accordance with the agenda of the radicals, but in accordance with the interest of georgia and society. the rivalry between the goal meant was to have more independence in decision making, not looking at western arise. the other hand people will seem bad for the device. it's holly from the work to something that helps us to get better get closer to your future president, coming in for having these 4 western ideas here. probably to do the protested, but i don't think that even president has a moment. it seems that our, our government rest seem to be georgia by bringing this law may be a bit more complicated to be involved in the life of georgia society. that is why you're not this for medical, which has the same to to law is again this one because you have to pay for medicaid
10:12 am
sufficient. don't want to have some obstacles. the thing is with you. but i would like to mention that having any will doesn't mean that can make some barriers to both execution or the role in north about accepting before. in general, the fierce battle for the city of our to mosque also known as back move, continues as the head of the wagner groups, those russian forces have taken control over the eastern part of the key city. he added, the russian army now has the most modern military capabilities. and that taking control over the city will allow russian forces to advance further into the drawing bass. you use those fuels in the world has not yet encountered the russian army being so well trained and equipped with units that have not yet entered the battle . which have a multitude of modern weapons and intelligence capabilities. perfectly prepared there waiting in the wings to make an entrance up to wagner's hand and tied up to
10:13 am
the capture of buck munt. i wanted resolution ansolaski. i'm grateful that you have decided to fight and bachman. we ask you to take the elderly children out of baltimore and send normal comic ready units. i'm a territorial gains by russian forces. even nato chief stoughton. bert has hinted that the city could fall in the next few days. that's as he at stated, at plans to defend the city until the end. despite a bleak picture for ukrainian forces ortiz acres that are not followed white. wagner, fighters, and an exclusive look at the situation on the ground. these 3 apartment block buildings around me, they were ukraine's 1st line of defense in the southern district of the city of bar, moot, or, or tom of, among the wagner fighters, they got nicknamed as the 3 arcs, basically they provided perfect cover for their foes. and well, the battle for this particular neighborhood, while it was very difficult, you can hardly walk the streets here. mortar shells were overhead and dropped
10:14 am
a few blocks away. an occasional stray bullet whistles and smacks into a brick wall and overwhelming aria of death in which wagner place the main part, nature's horrible. it was hard to push them out of here. look at them, braziers on the houses, the animals ready for our attack. we had to keep our wits about us, their clever removing bricks, to make positions for snipers and machine gunners. you can take them with regular ammunition. we had to use artillery to smoke them out. this is how the animals tillery targets us. there was a house here. now there is nothing in formerly these fighters are known as musicians, courtesy the company name. they are often the 1st to meet the full force of new nato supplied equipment. caves, thirst for their blood is unmatched. what you see here is somewhat a novelty. honda dumbass front, these are american claymore mines that have been well they are quite legendary
10:15 am
among those who play video games. here they are very real and they posed a very real threat. last week wagner's strike teams kicked cave troops out of their positions at a local damn. as we approach the new front line, ukraine spares no ammunition to batter the foe. no caliber is too large, so the dam behind us is the forward most. and the most avant garde position of the wagner's troops here in the southern districts of bush moot, basically across the river in the red building. there's already a reconnaissance and surveillance point of the ukrainian troops or yes, gruesome finance. my checking the crates, we know who produced the mines for our opponents mortar. these boxes were clearly produced in ukraine, seal labels. all of them are green. these ones are made in the czech republic. somebody else makes the one in these boxes, maybe the americans, the whole european union works for them. and you can see the proof here. here is
10:16 am
the dam. you can see what's left of it over there and that red 2 story house is the enemy observation point when key of forces chose to hole up in the city, civilians woke up to a new reality. now they were unwelcome guests in their own homes, mortars rockets and guns to launch them were spawned in their backyards as an eviction notice all road junctions and intersections in back move even minor ones like here. they are fenced off by barbed wire by the ukrainian forces. it clearly shows the sort of resistance the wagner company has to overcome and well that the ukrainian forces have really turned the city into a fortress. overcoming heavy opposition inevitably comes at a cost musicians showcase the price the ukrainian side had to pay here. those wondered here died because they couldn't evacuate them. like this one, for example. there were about 8 enemy combatants here. a hunger is not as suitable
10:17 am
shelter. you can see where the roof caved in. it was a direct hit and some of those who could run away. the strikes moved further down the road smoke, but these 2 guys couldn't get away. i'm about to somewhere. there is a 3rd one buried under the rubble through. they couldn't reach their comrades as they left them here. now they're being eaten by dogs symptom, wagner troops might be just paused the overtures to the back moon symphony. there's nary a doubt among them though, they'll be the ones to strike the final victorious code. i'm a gosh done of reporting from the dumbass. ah t. ethan. not the americans, russian or polls, but private venture originating in ukraine. that's the latest allegation coming from western prize or in the northeastern pipeline blast with their port, alleging the culprits were no, no week after the attack. it hadn't been carried out by the americans,
10:18 am
the russians of the poles. their intelligence service apparently told them, but by a private venture originated in ukraine, there were told this would not be made public and to deflect any questions about why the official investigation into the destruction of the russ a german pipeline was moving so slowly. for more details on this, let's cross live now to archie, contributor rachel mars said rachel, it's good to see you now. what have we learned from this latest media report on the nord stream pipeline sabotaged well after mainstream newspapers of record in both the united states and germany. this new york times and zeit came out on tuesday, not even ours, apart with stories of anonymous officials in the respective countries attributing the north stream pipeline sabotaged to an equally unidentified quote pro ukrainian group. well, now it's britain's turn. nieto officials, it appears wanted to protect ukraine from a public spat with the germany,
10:19 am
which had been dragging its heels or whether to deliver vital mil to aid include and leopard to tangs, an iris t air defense systems, the idea of ukrainians driving a vehicle laden with explosives through poland to launch an attack on a german pipeline from german soil will particularly great on the german public. so the times claims an unnamed scandinavian delegation was brief by their embassy and brussels about a private actor, absolutely not affiliated with keith that had sponsored the sabotage operation allegedly. and what strange about this piece is that initially it looks like a straight analysis, very straight laced up and down report, but then fears off into a commentary with a lot of speculation. for instance, it claims that the reason why the identity of this mysterious private ukrainian entity was kept under rocks was to prevent germany from having 2nd thoughts about
10:20 am
continuing weapons deliveries. obviously that will be late giving holiday gifts to the guy who's set your house on fire, given the critical nature of the north stream network to the german economy. and what's also weird is that this times p says that it would quote only be fair to keep the information from germany, since they probably already knew who was responsible. but that keith had been quote, blindsided by this recent reporting about who's responsible kind of makes you wonder, how do they actually know that that's true. i mean, is keep shocked for real. is it pretending to be shocked? how do they know there's absolutely no evidence in this piece explaining why they've so con, constantly come to that conclusion, or even ruled out keith as any kind of a suspect. the analysis thence says that confusion over the identity of the ukrainian operative would, quote, breed suspicion and would quote, emboldened those in germany who are pressuring olaf shoulds that chancellor to
10:21 am
curtail military aid and ultimately harm ukraine. so the report goes out of its way to defend authorities handling of this information that it received from who knows where it then goes on to defend the unnamed, you've radians. saboteur saying that it wasn't the intent of the quote, influential figure to harm relations between keith and germany. yes. think it's also not the intent of bank robbers to go to prison, but they are always think through all the potential consequences too. well, that doesn't mean that the police withholds their names from the public. i do not command on hypothetical investigations. it could just as well have been a false flag operation, as it was clear from the messages. in other words, to blame pro ukrainian groups and present everything that way. the probability of one or the other is equally high. so now we have to wait and see how events will
10:22 am
develop. you don't have to think about the consequences for our support of ukraine on the basis of such an investigation. which of course was conducted carefully and scrupulously. yet just maybe the german people won't appreciate this idea that explosives were taken your journey to a port in ra stock from which it set sail from germany to blow up germany's energy lifeline. germany is already busy making excuses, obviously for shrugging it all off. i would not be surprised if as a result of the elite investigation, the western its newspapers established that the north stream pipelines were destroyed by dolphin boma, escaped from crimea to ukraine. seriously. washington london again down the beaten path of using controlled leaks in this matter, forming the agenda they need. this was the case will salisbury and amesbury,
10:23 am
nevada, unovia chuck and so on. but the truth is yet to come. i'm sure. all right, so there we have the russian foreign ministry chimed in to add a few new plot points to this rapidly developing western narrative. who knows, maybe the dolphin bomb or was hanging out with the ghost of key even here is a snake on and when they all decide to come up with this, we're applied. certainly a lot of lessons to be learned from this one are taken care of near rachel marston and thank you so much for your time. ah, an unsustainable burden. that's how the nigerian president describe the pressure on struggling countries under the system of global financial institutions. at a gathering of world leaders in doha, the nature of the global financial system weighs down the least developed countries with an unsustainable external dep burden. it represents an unfair debt architecture, as those states are charged more money to borrow on markets and downgraded when
10:24 am
they even think of restructuring their debt or applying for relief. for more unless less cross live now to r t corresponding corolla joining us from johannesburg. for although it's good to see you now, what more can you tell us about the summit of the least developed countries and doha, what is the main message of the world's leaders that were in attendance? rachel, as you know, the un identifies for t 6 countries as the least developed and most to in die of financial assistance. and these countries are primarily here in africa, particularly from now of the in sub saharan africa. with some 25 countries being the most vulnerable and they say that they're about a deep debt repayment away from default and bad could, could really haven't power on some of the challenges and the economy got the ration
10:25 am
of such countries. and mama mama was particularly point into when you talked about the fact that not only is the international financial system stacked against the poor and developing countries. but then the, the west work is still not owning up to it's part of the deal, which is granting access do t 3 axis major me to the fed countries in order to help them to meet their sustainable development goals, which have a 2030 target sd related and the you and convention. now, this was echoed by the general secretary of the united nations. mr. gutierrez, and it even went further by the president of his team on let's have a look. all global financial system was designed by wealthy countries and
10:26 am
largely to that benefit. that is why we are insisting so strongly, namely with the g 2043 form the private equity. many, if you are locked out of capital markets by interest rates and countries that get the weight to middle income spotters, are victims of the cruelest flight of n 3. when support systems vanish before their eyes get education must be reward, will never punishments. and you know, is the same when you look at some of the most indebted countries in the world. 4 of them are in sub saharan africa, and that includes where we are right now. south africa as well as nigeria, angola, and quote, the war. it is a very tenuous situation when you look at sub sahara as
10:27 am
a whole. and this is something that can easily be done by west thin countries and institutions of lending. it's a very small pill to swallow, and something that would be very negligible in their eyes. and the situation really is further exacerbated by how long these countries have to wait in order to access funds, even from a lender of last resort. like the i m f no one wants to go there because of the owner as conditions that are placed on the borrower, but they continue to have these long delays. in the meantime, the waste as a whole, as a block has found someone to blame for the dead crisis at that new recent person or at least entity in this case is china. they've been, angling a china thing that china is the reason behind the delay behind that restructuring of, of dead burden of inc. that had countries. and that is not a message that china is taking, lying down here,
10:28 am
the view from the new chinese of foreign minister. your excellency anthony quickly. i will join us should be the last one to be accused of the so called death trap. data shows that multilateral financial institutions and commercial creditors account for over 80 percent of the sovereign debt of developing countries. they are the biggest source of the dead burden on those countries. particularly since last year. the unprecedented rabbit interest high by the united states have led to massive capital outflows in many countries and have worse and the debt problems in the countries concerned. china will continue to participate constructively in resolving international that issues i can hear you a certainly a lot of important information coming out of this latest at ortiz parabola. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on that one. and that's all for now.
