russian participating is lifted while athletes when both countries compete in the ongoing women's boxing championships with a very warm welcome. this doughty international coming to you live from moscow. it's great to have you where there's this, our, our top story. russia is celebrating the 9th anniversary of crimea. we joining the country with vladimir putin visiting the city of sabbath stapo. the russian president drove his own vehicle to the events where he took part in the opening of the local all school and the children's center together with the cities governor. the visit came as a surprise, as it was originally planned, that it would take place virtually what does, by washington's refusal to recognize crimea for unification with russia. d classified cia report from 1957 revealed that

a year with admitted the peninsula as pro russian sentiments. the u. s. expected faced resistance in crimea, which it had planned to invade during the cold war. president putin has now reiterated his promises of security for the people that davis didn't as it could have g e. she was stupid, 9 years ago, the residence of crimean. so estoppel made their unambiguous and final historical choice to again and for a more become part of our big united country is obvious that her crime in some estoppel issues of security are of high priority especially today. but it will do everything to stop any threats. see, you'll in the 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 done boss and 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 1954 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 konica than a desa were 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 957, c, a report put certain regions west of lou ganske into another category entirely where 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, essentially recognized on boss and crimea as russian. and as the 20th anniversary of the us invasion of iraq approaches a national coalition of anti war organizations and a rock war, veterans are holding a rally under the slogan as say no to endless was well, those in attendance, one piece, a new crane for negotiations to start and the dismantling of nato. that follows a rally last month in washington. again, a coda rage against the wall machine. my similar demands were voiced, or let's say cross it to human eyes. labor rights attorney down cavallo has been taking parting such days rally in washington, d. c. and don, thank you so much for joining us on the program this evening. so what's the latest from the event? what's also messages have been voiced? well, we're now in a historic church in washington,

dc that we're abolitionists gal gathered during slavery to buy on the end of slavery and been a number of leeches here. the keynote speaker is noam chomsky and he said something interesting. you said more, the whole world knows that the conflict in the, in ukraine is a proxy war of the west against russia. and he said look at the ukrainians. want to engage in that type of proxy war that's up to them. but he said, you know, it's up to us, the united, you know, citizens the us, to decide whether we're going to support that proxy war. and of course, the people here at the rally and now the church are firmly against supporting this proxy organs, russian. and are mostly moved like among the protest, has ever been any confrontations or finds that tempers may fly? no, it's been very useful. there's been a limited piece of the limited police presence. it's actually been a very happy, very positive. i'm gathering, there's about 5000 people here. very diverse,

proud in terms of age in terms of race. and the people are very hopeful that we're going to new piece and that that's a wonderful thing. and do you think that miss raisins like this particular one are happening more frequently now? well, even growing in size in the u. s. yes, i think not only in the u. s, but also in europe. i think people are waking up to the fact that this is a proxy war against russia. many people don't want engage in that proxy war. they don't certainly don't want to keep spending billions of dollars to feed this war, which is only going to prolong the war and lead to more depths of ukrainians and dollars have been much so that media attention either was happening that day in d. c. of anybody been interviewed? if you seen any cameras around i've seen cameras, but it all seems from independent process. i haven't seen any mainstream press your less and die in your opinion on do you think that you're going,

do you think one wanting to more to be done by the us public? what do you think we need to do with the us having need to do in order to encourage the government to promote peace talks rather than pushing more weapon is ation on the ukraine. conflicts, we need more protests like this. we need people in the streets. we need people to disrupt the system. we need to say no, these are a tax dollars going out the door when people in this country are already the poorly educated. don't have health care and we're calling on the government to spend our money at home, not on these wars, but we need many, many streets spreading that message when it comes to anti war demonstrations, always kind of brings back memories of, you know, the, i think the gatherings and the demonstrations during the vietnam war. and can you do any parallels between these particular anti will gatherings? and those that we saw during vietnam and other conflicts waged by the u. s. yet hoarsely, the united states has

a very proud tradition of owes in war and even going back to the spanish american war in 89 year, you know, more twain, the great author ended up warming, helping form the enzyme furiously after their award. course people galle proposed award for warded war war one. yes, of course. there are the big demonstrations against the vietnam war. and this is a proud usa tradition that's been, you know, unfortunately the piece wounds been pretty quiet for the last 20 years of that. i think you're by me. you're hearing from it again. dan. many thanks for speaking to her to day human and labor rights attorney duncan valley. thank you. thank you, nicky thing in the us former president ann's 2024 republican hopeful donald trump has called for public protests after claiming that he will be arrested next week. hosting early on saturday morning on his media platform. truth, social trump pointed to reports about the possibility he could be arrested on

tuesday and urged americans to quote, take our nation back. however, 2 hours later, a trump spokesman clarified that the politician had not written his post with de wright's knowledge of the timing of any arrest. this comes as a manhattan court is reportedly preparing to indict trump for the charges have not be made. public ortiz, marina cause or effect, explains there is no reason that he mentioned why 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 him 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 porn 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 the 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 would 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 wide upon and extra security potentially. if 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 by donald trump, was never charged regarding his role in 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 lifes, events online as well? but this time it's not twitter disease in his own social media platform. and he's urgent supporters to come out and support him. go out and protests and this is water authority. there's a local source is concerned about because we saw what happened last time. he went on social media urgent people come out. this was and i'm sure you remember right after the last presidential elections and he went on twitter and then we saw what happened. they stormed congress. and this is what local courts 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 knox's journalist on political analysts, john rody, say so by did, administration will do its best to keep trump from returning to power. we are now in a period where the democratic party is establishing a totalitarian regime in the united states. winning that election in 2020 was the

1st step. they've now taken control of all the federal agencies that take control, big tech wall street secrets or services the military. so pretty much all the major level levers of power now under the control of the democratic party. trump is the last serious obstacles or trauma, probably descent it you know, american law is written in such a way and there are so many american laws that he can get you for anything they can go after anybody and destroy you find them, find some violation that you committed and put you in jail, the democratic party establishment again, which is the stablish in the military machine in the us. they are so pathologically afraid of trump. they hate him so much. an austrian politician has called on serbia to demolish a memorial to children, killed in the nato bombing campaign of the country and 90909. the official saved

the monuments encourage is anti american and anti nato sentiments. as long as serbian and sadly, even some austria, politicians from the extreme left and right endorse such hateful distortion of fact, it's clear, austria and serbia remain the cradle of european anti americanism, and anti nato sentiment. i call to remove this monument immediately. the memorials has serbian children killed during 3 months of the nato bombing campaign commemorates what bell great cools aggression against the country. in 1999 immemorial depicts of 3 year old girl, one of the youngest victims killed during the i rates. she was one of $2500.00 civilians killed during the nato campaign, which was carried out without the approval of the un security council. today. those who survived the bombing se, serbia will never forget. newton been what i mean. we will never forget their imperialistic aggression towards 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 the me poke major. 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. tell me, did 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 their 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 their footprint, which they left with their aggression, hulu. they can take away their morning months of the crimes. they have committed all around the world. their monuments, other rivers of blood, of innocent people, destroyed cultures. sewell is ations 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 murderers. there was an armageddon against serbia. is important for children to know what was stood up for. we did it for them. we fought for them. crowd lynn honorably. so the people have clearly not forgotten and will keep fighting as thousands took to the streets of belgrade to protest. europe's plan to normalize ties with the self proclaimed republic of kosovo. the proposal comes from france and germany, who recognized christina's independence while bow great considered it a break away region or details of the plan have not been made public. it's known.

it includes a pledge from serbia not to oppose cause of a membership and international organizations such as the un gemini, has canceled the women's fencing world cup after the sports governing body lifted, a ban on russian until a russian athletes following more than 60 percent of nations voting to allow the countries to compete. ortiz when jan sharma picks up the story. 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, bella, region athletes. they are competing in the women's waltzing championship with their national flag and national symbols. the international boxing association listed sanctions on the to me, along the route the lead to compete as usual. they should participate. it should not be some kind of privilege that is given depending on the circumstances. each

international association should have the standards. like why is demanding the will to or no rush or not the leads are going stronger and louder, gentlemen, avenue saw, started a petition on changed orgy. demanding geopolitical influence should not impact a lumpy, essentially saying that politics and force should not be intertwined. the petitioner, on the undersigned, therefore, cooler and the german interior ministry, to refrain from any attempts to exert political influence on the international olympic committee and the german olympic sports federation. with the aim of preventing russian and bella, 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 arena was getting boring with doubts strong fairs. if anything was to suggest seeing that

next year in 2024 russian class could plea 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 from april this year, i rush in and bellows and athletes would be allowed to compete at the international dancing federation events. this after a decision at doc, extraordinary congress held mine, but a plan and was called in germany has been cancelled off. the decision will turn to right here, and there was an athlete. 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 to morrow, it may be another country. what was,

what can i please honestly supported the return of russian and better rouge? and i believe they also want to lifting all the suspension on the plan. politics should not put pressure in sports to withdraw from its fundamental values. also doroty and unity. a positive trend can be seen in the, on the fair treatment of russian on bella, vision, athletes, who knows their me on the day when sports and politics will not be mixed by politicians on officials. region sharma, arte new delhi. we also spoke with diana piata, a member of the russian women's boxing team on how she felt. don incarnations flag at the world championships going on in india this week. good natured, 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 over 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 teens, 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, sooner or later we will come to this to nigeria now where local governorship elections are in full swing amid fresh reports of political violence. footage from the states have little shows on the man who appeared to be local security forces, taking part in a roadside altercation and detaining several people. meanwhile, nigeria is labor party has claimed that one of that it's active is being shot dead in legos in the country. se 19 electoral officials were reportedly kidnapped and
