very dramatic and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with vs. celebrates the 9th anniversary of the crimea referendum. we take a look at declassified ca plans to invade crimea as far back as 1957. also in the program has decided to spend $20000.00 to the organization of american states that is not concerned with the region where ukraine is located from greystone, reveals the construct ukraine is funding a washington based organization as give us for more western support and austria politician de demolish it's memorial to children killed in the nato bombing of yugoslavia in 1999 causing outrage among some local coordinator,

they can take away their monuments of the crimes. they've committed all around the world. they are monuments, other rivers of blood, of innocent people. those demands will not be filled in serbia. it is not going to happen with must go to the world all watching all the international money. is peter scott on these the top stories this saturday evening. welcome to the program. brochure celebrates the 9th anniversary of crimea, rejoining the country about the med putin visiting the city of service topple. now the russian president drove the vehicle to the events where he took part in the opening of a local law school under children's center well declassified, say documents reveals washington had plans to start a conflict with moscow. 30 invasion of crimea as far back as 1957. it's not been

almost a decade since the crime in referendum brought the peninsula back into the russian fold and occasion that russian president vladimir putin march by promising to protect the region as all cos. davis didn't as it continued e, she was stupid, 9 years ago the residence of crimean. so estoppel made their unambiguous and final historical choice to again and for of a more become part of our big united country is obvious that for crime in some estoppel issues of security or of high priority, especially today we will do everything to stop any threats. julian, few of the way, 9 years ago, crimea voted to reunite with russia despite much protest from kiev and the west, which continues to this day. but this price peninsula was in washington's cross hairs for a lot longer than just about a decade. way back in 1957, the cia prepared plans to divide and conquer. what was then soviet ukraine featuring a report that divided the republic into 12 zones of varying potential support for

us forces in the event of an invasion. ah, fast forward to post soviet times, and it looks like little has changed from the 2004 our ins revolution to euro. my done in 2014 support for closer ties to the west or russia are distributed along essentially the same lines. ah,

the conclusion then, and now much of western ukraine views collaboration with the u. s. favorably don boss in crimea, not so much. in 2 areas of the ukraine, the local population apparently hold few grievances against the regime and probably would not assist special forces. the 1st is the crimean peninsula, which has historically been a part of russia being incorporated into the ukraine, only in february, 954 when it was transferred away from the rest of us are the 2nd area with a population strongly loyal to the regime, is the don bass, don bass is the center of heavy industry and mining in the ukraine. and apart from the crimea is the least ukranian district and its population and national character . ukrainians are a minority in the don bass, and those who live there are mostly urbanized frequently speak russian, and in many cases no longer consider themselves ukrainian cartucker than

a desa. we're not far behind those regions in terms of anti western sentiment. and lo and behold, they had formed their own independence movements during euro, my dog, both of which were crushed by the ukrainian government, the 1957, c, a report put certain regions west of lou ganske into another category entirely, where a specific support was to be expected, but the most anti soviet area was designated zone 8. these were areas where pro nazi and nationalist sentiments were high. and the us expected the least resistance . and that also happened to be rich in natural gas. ah. you'll notice this document when it was classified in 2017, but it does reveal a few important facts. the u. s. has long been looking to get its hands on ukraine . it's long been trying to sabotage russia. and until recently,

it essentially recognized on boss and crimea as russian well, as ukraine continues to ask for a support for a support for the war, he has sent $20000.00 to the organization of american states. that according to the grades own journalist on your part on pill, you conducted an investigation related to the funding of the organization. while it looks ridiculous that ukraine is constantly begging the united states to send more taxpayer dollars, we constantly have us politicians on screen in the united states trying to convince the us public that we should be spending more taxpayer dollars to crane because they're broke and they deserve it, apparently, and yet, kiev has decided to spend $20000.00 to the organization of american states multilateral institution. that is not concerned with the region where ukraine is located. and so there's really no reason for ukraine to be sending this money to an

organization in washington that is concerned with issues in the latin american and caribbean region. unless ukraine is just there, pretty much to just nudge the institution even further in the direction of acting as a tool of us policy in the region which and ukraine is just supporting the us and its mission. converting the us into that according to the i m f. ukraine is the poorest country in europe, is g. d. p is estimated to fallen by 30 percent at the end of last year. the worst results in the country's history and largely because of russia's military offensive against it. but it's like this, you credit sent $20000.00 to the body of one of its biggest allies. the organization which claims to promote democracy includes all american nations, accept cuba, unbend rayleigh. so nothing american countries have criticized the organizations. things last legitimacy on your part on pill again, says that the o s is the, it's all of us intervention in latin america. the oas, especially over the past several years. the main,

it's the main purpose of its existence has been to further, extremely aggressive us intervention policies in latin america and the caribbean. this is under the leadership of secretary general luis on ma, grow who is currently facing an ethics investigation. ma grow as well as some of the us diplomats, if you can call them that. who worked there during the trump administration? really weaponized the o as in order to achieve u. s. policy goals with respect specifically to venezuela, nicaragua, and bolivia. you may recall that the o. s was instrumental in providing the justification for the coo and 2019 that took place in bolivia, ousted the democratically elected president abel morales, and installed a very brutal military dictatorship. a hunter said truly in the country for,

for several months until it was defeated by the boot, bolivian people, his pulse news germany has cancelled at the women's fencing world cope out of the sports, governing agency lifted up on, on, russian. and bella rushing off, leaves was falling, the earth falling more than 60 percent of nations voting to allow the countries to compete. ortiz at london sharma has more. oh, why yes, but wide enough to get a foot in. what's happening here over new delhi is a big rig to, for russian been approved and athletes. they are competing in the women's waltzing championship with their national flag, unmatched and symbols. the international boxing association lifted sanctions on the to me along the route to lead to compete as usual. these should participate. it should not be some kind of privilege that is given depending on the circumstances. each international association should have the standards looks like what is

demanding the will to our no rush or not, the leads are going stronger and louder. jaw monotony, sa, started a petition and changed orgy. demanding geopolitical influence should not impact lumpy. essentially saying that politics and sports should not be intertwined. the petitioner, on the undersigned, therefore colon the german interior ministry, to refrain from any attempts to exert political influence on the international olympic committee on the german olympics, sports federation. with the aim of preventing russian and bell russian athletes from returning to the olympic games. the olympic games must not be politicized. perhaps it would be sad to say that the international halting irene. i was getting boring without strong players. if anything was the suggest. seeing that next seo in 2024 russian class could play in the ice hockey warren championship.

everyone is interested in our national team and the national team of bell roost returned to the international stage. without his teams, the championship is incomplete and the metals that countries will win and future competitions without our national teams will be incomplete. it's already confirmed that for me approval to see i rush in and bellows and athletes would be allowed to compete at the international tensing federation events. this after a decision at doc extraordinary congress held mine, but a plan was called in germany has been cancelled off to the decision of new toner right here in bella rouge, annapolis. this drove strong reaction from the fraternity. those countries that cannot hold competitions on equal terms will not hold them. others will there in large numbers. today it is germany, tomorrow it may be another country. what was an athlete honestly

supported the return of russian american abbey. they also want to lifting all the suspension on the place. politics should not put pressure in sport to withdraw from its fundamental values. also doroty and unity. positive trend can be seen in the unfair treatment of russian. i'm bella, vision, athletes. who know there me come a day when sports and politics will not be made by politicians, an official region sharma, r t new delhi. we also spoke with deanna potomac, a member of the russian women's boxing team on how she felt dawning, her nation's flag, or the world championships in india this week. a 3rd sitting no good on that system . it was a great honor for me to fly the russian flag finally here, the anthem, and where russian cymbals. after a long break, i was proud to carry the flag of our country discussions. eva, whether we should compete as refugees were absolutely unacceptable. why should we

abandon our country? i would like to express my great gratitude to the international boxing association head, who allowed us to march to our anthem. we communicate well with other teams and there's absolutely no pressure on us. i think that a lot of people will support me, that sports should remain out of politics. this is completely different. fear i hope soon or later will will come to this. an austrian, a politician, has called on serbia to demolish a memorial to children killed in the nato bombing campaign of the country. 99. the official says the monuments encourages unseen american unseen nato sentiments as long as serbian and sadly, even some austria, politicians from the extreme left and right endorse such hateful distortion of facts. it's clear, austria and serbia remained the cradle of european anti americanism, and anti nato sentiment. i called to remove this monument immediately for the memorial to serve your children killed during 3 months of the nato bombing campaign

commemorates, while bell grey calls aggression against the country. in 1999, the memorial depicts a 3 year old girl, one of the youngest victims killed during the arabs. as she was one of $2500.00 civilians killed in the name of campaign which was carried out without the approval of the un security council. today, those who survive the bombings they said be it will never forget. and we will never forget their imperialistic aggression toward serbia and the serbs and they will never succeed in trying to brainwash us so that we change our minds about them . they ask us to remove our monuments to they can hide their trace in their role in it. because they are the ones who committed the aggression. oh, we have probably spent too much time thinking about all sorts of fair crafts from the e u and their messages. those demands will not be fulfilled in serbia. it is not going to happen a portal for them hooked nature. we will not do this and we shouldn't do it because we don't want to destroy the collective memory. we have partly because of them in the 1st place. those monuments represent symbols of resistance to those who ask us,

take them down and a warning to future generations to not succumb to ultimatums as it would be both tell me. do they build monuments to their loved ones? they lost. so what so strange when we do the same for our loved ones who died in aggression which they led in 1999 against innocent children. it's important to remember, so we all know what the nato alliance says and especially so something like that never happens again. i think that those who claim they are fighting for peace have actually delivered most harm across the world. and that's a fact the death of this child and other children is there footprint which they left with their aggression. oh, they can take away their monuments of the crimes. they've committed all around the world. their monuments, other rivers of blood, of innocent people, destroyed cultures sula, zation and they ask us to give up our martyrs. and heroes will never do that. serbia stood up against not the western world but against criminals and murderous.

was not my get and against serbia. is important for children to know what was stood up for. what did it for them? we fought for them proudly and honorably. sevien. people have clearly not forgotten us. thousands to the streets of belgrade to protest europe's funds, to normalize ties. the self became for big cost of the proposal comes from france and germany, he recognized christine is independent of the grid. consider it a breakaway region. while details of the plan have not yet been made. public is known as includes a pledge from serbia not to oppose possible membership in international organizations such as the un and to west africa. now when i jillions are returning to the polls for the gubernatorial elections taking place on saturday, a juries are said to new state governors who will have influence on domestic policy . if officials will be chosen in french 8 out of the $36.00. and jerry and states, the new state assembly is also election supposed have been delayed for

a week by the chore commission due to reconfiguration of voting machines, which have been in the spotlight. the disputes following bullets new was victory in the presidential race. well let's cross live now to ma should is the communications lead election, the aga africa, an organization for the promotion of democratic governance and civil rights of very sorry. just sorry for the delay. the thanks for joining us. ma, shoot. now, 1st of all, i just like to get what, what do you expect from the upcoming elections to day? do you see a repeat or has there been a repeat of any of the trouble that mod the presidential elections a couple of weeks ago? ok, thank you. very much, oh, so basically what i've seen so far is the fact that there has been a bit of improvement in diplomacy of logistics. if you recall,

i'm doing the presidential election only 41 percent of the unit had con accreditation. as at 9 30 am mail, while the official commencement time is actually it's etc. but from what he observes, so far, an average of over 70 percent of all you needed had committed accreditation as at 9 30 am in the morning so that the mac improvement in logistics deployment. well, however, there are still some logistics here because that will received around shot for electron materials. the allegations were electron materials were incomplete, and they were also mixed up in the deployment of a new drama to us with. some materials were deployed today long gone to the. busy kitchens, the issues around us operation, i think, due to the outcome of the presidential election, there is increasing desperate chance by politicians,

especially those who want to retain gas c. was sick on town. i think the from the valuation so far, that deployment of political talks to e doth supplies perceive opposition voting for the opposition. but so we've received that. but to wanting that in improvement in logistics. but of course, allocation every outcome shot for was on election materials. and also, what's power on compromise in the secrecy of balance? the last is only the votes, i should know which political party or candidate he or she or trump dumpling, that for. well that seen police agents in place in the process trying to influence the process to see a particle of what that is actually looked at for fortunately, these happened in the process of security officials who would either do not in all lucas, we are to actually could actually do nothing to prevent the process it i intentionally

or the ice that has been issues on secrecy are compromising with your or not. but again, the for deployment of technology not by more w. yup. apologise, apologies for insurance. and you do have any idea when the 1st results will are set to be announced in these elections. the ideally voting should end by 230 p, m, and votes. our results are supposed to be announced at the only units level, which has already come is in some pulling units resulted in another one unit level . but of course, this will not have to be coordinated at also a different levels of collision. it will be taken to what's called the water level registers on the less than that. and then to de luca government level, before it gets to the state capital, where the final results of each state it's would be would be collected. so at the moment, results, electrons are only not in pulling units,

and results are being counted on both are being counted and another to put in his level. what does this age of result condition now you mentioned some of the issues that are taking place. remember that the, the independent national electoral commission is involved in the i've been criticized in the previous election for some of the poll planning and delays as it improved is performance in this selection. and how many of this you see, you just described, could be blamed on the in, depends like your commission i so substantially, like i said, i'm like during the presidential election though, no doubt, delay not deployment of materials due to fact one of the reasons i was bought was the fact that oh yeah, i think we've, we've, we've lost masoud the by, i think we got the gist of what he was saying. that was my shoot is a communications lead election. the africa. well i'm and now we go to the phone

lines of the conflicts in ukraine in the dalliance group public here forces have reported to show the town of car fisk. this footage appears to show the remoted aftermath of 3 high ma, strikes on the town. the shilling left nothing of one home and left neighbouring ones heavily damaged fire has reportedly engulfed a residential area which was apparently hit by the side. know there's been no report of as well to despite the destruction that over to the u. s. now where a former president, on 2024 republican hopeful donald trump is called for for the protest done so that he claimed that he will be arrested next tuesday on his social media platform. truth, social from points and reports about the possibility he could be arrested next week . and the americans to quote, take on nation back several investigations evolving from are indeed on the way in

new york. but there's been no official confirmation of charges on arrest warrant for him on the marine corps server has more. he believes he will be arrested next week, but he didn't make some claims regarding a so called ongoing leaks in the media there. regarding one of his cases, he's facing several ongoing investigations that are being done against them. not only in new york. there's also in georgia for example. but this one in particular is the one that involves the so called hush payment to a storm the daniels, the point star, and the 2016 presidential campaign. this is what we're talking about. and apparently donald trump, for some reason he has information and also we're know that there's been news reports in the media in the united states, claiming that the manhattan district attorney has been making conversations with law enforcement authorities in new york city. preparing for what could happen in

case donald trump is indicted in this ongoing investigation which where expected results in the coming weeks. so maybe this is what donald trump is referring to and he's expecting why they're planning something. why the plan and extra security potentially is something going to happen? will they arrest me? so a little bit about that case, in particular, the money that we're talking about, his attorney at the time who handled the payment. now he pled guilty in 2018. there were federal charges brought against him, but donald trump was never charged regarding his role and all that. so this is something that they're looking into it again. and this, once again, this is along with all of the other ongoing investigations that we know regarding donald trump. so this is what we're seeing now. and he of course he went to events . where does donald trump life's event online as well? but this time it's not twitter is he's in his own social media platform and he's urging supporters to come out and support him, go out and protest. and this is water authorities. there are some local authorities

are concerned about because we saw what happened last time. he went on social media urgent people to come out. we saw what happened. they stormed congress and this is what local authorities are afraid of. now that he's posting and balancing a line. so we'll see how this will turn out and will he be arrested boy, he nots is. well, political commentator unblocked david fry hyde says that the by did i ministration may try to weaken trump's political position, whether or not january 6 was a set up in the technical sense. it was facilitated, it was allowed to happen. we now know from the trials of the oath keepers and the proud voices, we know that the f b, i had infiltrated plans of seditious conspiracy, india, legit or perpetrators. and yet then claim to not have had any advanced warning of january 6th. they knew what was going to happen, arguably, allowed it to happen and possibly, and probably had instigators or as all provoking her in the crowd to make sure that

it did happen. i don't know why the deep state and politicians in america are so bloody afraid of trump if they think he has no chance of winning the next election . but their fear and their attempts to basically politically take him out. and then politically weaponized that to ban any of his proto supports, protesting. i mean, they've got to be scared of something legitimate if they're going out of their way . so much though to do this seems like planned destruction plan demolition. come out with these charges royal everybody up because they are so preposterous politically motivated and then maybe have someone trigger something in the protest to then say trump bad trump arrested protest illegal in america. now if you're now specialists, formed beijing is to have rushed to the us to take care of a pundit named yaya and take her home. thus after some distressing footage of the animal emerged online, causing some concern among the public. the photos that went viral on social media show the emaciated on filthy ponder, the now lives at memphis, zeus,

or the residence panda. lily died in february of heart disease, instant spots a spontaneous campaign among chinese people overseas, to check on the living conditions of pampers around the world. and it's and out. the pundits are best cared for in moscow. and south korea are seized. severe newness reports from the russian capsule z. diplomacy comes in many different forms and one of them is the longstanding tradition of state officials exchanging gifts from francis thatcher of liberty to angela merkel. spain was beer, history has recorded many fascinating presence, but the cute is give, the old no doubt has been bundis. the james bears are unique to china and have long been part of the conscious diplomatic strategies. first recorded in the 7th century china. so cold bond, the diplomacy has proven to be very successful. chinese bears have been living in st. louis around the world for more than 70 years. and the moscow is one of them. he came up on the video before the pandas came to us. we were inspected by chinese

experts. every employee who works with the pan does also went to china for an internship. there we met ju, he and ding dang, and learned how to look after them correctly. chinese specialists accompanied the pandas to moscow and lived here. they taught us how to properly care for and feed them just as diplomacy itself, diplomatic gifts. comb with the responsibilities of the recent concerns over the health of fund this in the u. s. memphis zone. chinese people from around the world launched a global campaign to check on their living conditions. the inspections rebuilt, that out of old upon this, living abroad. those in russia and south korea were the happiest quantum asthma through him. eugenia, we inspect the pandas every day. once a month we take blood to monitor their physiological state and state of their health. we send all this data to chinese specialists who also track them penned as get fresh bamboo 4 times a day, which regularly comes to us from the netherlands. each pan to living in the moscow

who has its own separate territory. they don't enter each other's territory, but they hear each other communicating by smells. of course, during the breeding season, we will connect them, but for a very short time, just like in nature because they do not live with each other as a family. the practice of exchanging gifts has a symbolic, yet very important meaning, as it represents the state of diplomatic relations between nations. with the un security council has voted to prolong its peacekeeping mission in south sudan until march 2024 with russia and bass begging, abstaining, saying that the river, excuse me. the resolution impedes on the nation's independence. the resolution of into communal conflicts can only be carried out in close coordination with local authorities and through a comprehensive approach that removes root causes, bills without downs, potential and strengthens is unified armed forces. elections,

finance and resource management are internal affairs in any country. this draft resolution in making demands and imposing conditions on this matters without the consent of south sudan, clearly exceeds all normal and reasonable limits. the newly adopted resolution means is 17000 un troops over 2000 police personnel will remain in the country. despite that, violence remains rampant in the oil rich nation where most people continue to live in poverty. and this is the 1st time the mission in africa, phase criticism. previously to peacekeeping missions in the d r c. and molly drew protests across africa demonstrates his claim in the us had failed to protect civilians when they should also have to withdraw peacekeepers from the central african republic pulling accusations of sexual exploitation and violence. we spoke to journalist a t o l. molly, who said that the, you needs to be assess his mission to be effective if we make this man and evaluation of international mission.
