and europe, stats and approval, britain and france recognized the annexation, giving the green light to further fascist expansion in the world and baby and the way for the outbreak of world war 2. ah, as russia celebrates 9 years of re unification with crimea, we visit they declassified cia report that admitted an incident overwhelmingly. pro russian sentiments back in 1957. they will. some americans take to the streets of washington quoting for peace and an end to all the delivery is to you. craig form a u. s. president. donald trump claims that he'll be arrested on tuesday and uses his social media to pull an american process. on germany,

cancels the world fund thing topped off to a band or russian on beller, russian. participants is lifted on athletes from both countries competing. the ongoing women's focusing championships in india with a very warm welcome. this is on t international with the very latest world news update. it's good to have you with us. now russian celebrates the 9th anniversary of crimea, rejoining the country with vladimir putin visiting the city of 7 stop. all the russian president drove his own vehicle to the event where he took part in the opening of a local school. and the children sent us together with the cities governor. the visit came as a surprise, as it was originally planned to take place online to work with. despite the western refusal to recognize crimea, it's re unification with russia. i d classified cia report from 1957, rebuild that the u. s. admitted the peninsula as pro russian sentiment. washington

expected face resistance in crimea, which i had planned to invade during the cold war. president putin has now we're to record his promises of security for the people that davis didn't as it could have g e. she was still busy 9 years ago the residence of crimean. so estoppel made their unambiguous and final historical choice to again him for a more become part of our big united country. his 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 in 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 burying 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 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 cartucker than death 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 1957, c i a report put certain regions west of the guns 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. do you notice this document when it was classified in 20? 17 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 and as the 20th anniversary of the us invasion of iraq approaches veterans of the concepts of joined anti war activists for a rally in washington under the slogan, say, no, to endless was demonstrating one piece of negotiations in ukraine and they even calling for the dismantling of ne pro, which they funded an aggressive alliance last month. another rally in washington, title that wage against the rule machine. so plenty of similar demand. 7 human and labor rights, the attorney down to valid, joined us. today's protest, save the messages were clear on the american government. going to listen to that as well. it's actually been a very happy, very positive gathering. there's about 5000 people here. very diverse crowd in terms of age in terms of race. and people are very hopeful that we're going to

start a new piece not only in the us, but also in europe. i think people waking up to the fact that this is a proxy war against russian. many people don't want to engage in that proxy where 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 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 hungry. 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 more people on the street spreading that message. i've seen cameras, but it all seems from independent press. i haven't seen any mainstream press here from the west and the us, former president on 2024 republican hope for donald trump has called for public protests,

claiming that he will be arrested next week. posting early on saturday morning on his media platforms, truth social trump point reports about the possible if he could be arrested on tuesday and urged americans to quote, take on nation back. however, 2 hours later, a trump spokesman clarified that the politician had not written his post with direct knowledge of the timing of any arrest is comes as a manhattan court is reportedly preparing to indict trump, but the charges have not been made. public ortiz marina caused, 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, his face and several ongoing investigations that have been 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 payments to a stormy 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 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 happened in case donald trump is indicted in this ongoing investigation which were expected results in the coming weeks. so maybe this is more donald trump is referring to and he's expecting, why are they are planning something wider plan an 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 or they were federal charges brought against him. but 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 the other ongoing investigations that we know of regarding donald trump. so this is what we're seeing now, and he, of course he went to events. where does donald trump white's event online as we know, but this time is not twitter is he's in his own social media platform and he's urgent supporters to come out and support him. go out and protest and this is war authorities. there's a few local authorities are concerned about because we saw what happened last night . 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 splitter and then we saw what happened is they formed congress. and this is what local authorities are afraid of. now that he's posting and benson a line, so we'll see how this will turn out and will he be arrested for he knox is well journalist on political analysts, john verbally say it's a binary ministration will do his best to keep trump from returning to power. we're

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. it taken control big tech wall street to conserve services, the military. so pretty much all the major level levers of power and now under the control of the democratic party. trump is the last 2 years obstacles well trumped, and probably dissented. american law is written in such a way and there are so many american life that gets 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 sabbath, very machine in the us. they are so pathologically afraid of trump. they have him so much. germany have council

b women's fencing world car. part of the sports governing body lifted a ban on russian and bella, 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 renew daily is a big rig to, for russian belly ruzen 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 weiss is demanding the will to or no rush or not. the leads are going stronger and louder. jaw monotony saw started

a petition on changed orgy. demanding geopolitical influence should not impact a lump. it's essentially saying that politics and sports should not be intertwined . the petitioner, on the on to sign, therefore cooler in the german interior ministry, to refrain from any attempts to exert political influence on the international olympic committee and the german olympics. sports federation. with the aim of preventing russian on beller, russian athletes from returning to the olympic games, the olympic games must not be politicized. perhaps it would be safe 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 play in the ice hockey worn 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, pull the see, i rush in and bellows and athletes would be allowed to compete at the international dancing federation event. this after a decision at doc, extraordinary congress held mine, but a plan was called in germany has been cancelled off to the decision a lou turner 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 happening on of us legal support in the return of russian and ben, a roof in albany. they also want to lifting all the suspension on the plan. politics should not put pressure in sport to withdraw from its fundamental values,

also doroty and unity. a positive trend can be seen and unfair treatment of russian . i'm bella who had athletes. who knows their me on the day when sports and politics will not be mixed by politicians, an official engine sharma, r t new delhi. we also spoke with arnett piet, i k member of the russian women's boxing team and how she fell to dawning her nation's flank of 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 the 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. i hope, sooner or later we will come to this. russia has dismiss claims that has been illegally deporting children from former parts of easton ukraine as moscow point to the need to evacuate mine as a way for military combat zones. russia children's rights commission that has posted a sarcastic response to the hague issue inc. of arrest warrants for her. and president putin on the ledge war crimes charges. it's great that the international community appreciates the work to help the children of our country. the fact that we don't leave them in war zones that we evacuate them, create good conditions for them, surround them with loving and caring people, null and void. that's how russia foreign ministry has branded the international criminal court arrest warrants. moscow say somebody has no legal ramifications. for

the country, it's not a party to the hakes international statute. the hey claims the russian president on children's rights commissioner are responsible for reporting ukrainian children allegations previously voiced by care of the ccs jurisdiction is not recognized by countries including russia, china, india, and the us here is the reaction from russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman decision . softly international criminal court have no significance fall country, including from legal standpoint. russia is not a participant of their own statute of the international criminal court and has no obligations under the statute. russia does not cooperate with this body and possible recipes for rest from the icy seat will be null and void to us. let's not discuss this with cherry mariani i french member of the european parliament. many thanks for joining is on the program. really appreciate your time. now you've been close it in the media is saying that the i c. c warrant is no more than

a propaganda stunned. could you please elaborate on that for us? because in fact, i heard the reaction for now years ago, but it's true, you know, you must accept the statue of e c. c. and her her on 30 state in the world. don't recognize this, that you, for example, in the 5 members, the 5 dominant members of the conceal of security 3 don't recognize this, that you, russia, china, and of course, america. that's mean, if you don't recognize that you this, i see as up through the know signification on your country. and of course, when, when the russian authorities said this, i know important for us because we don't recognize, distort. he's, by the rule. is the case. can i take another example, do you remember any sanction about some america authorities after the

invasion of iraq, for example? no. why? because they don't recognize. that's why this decision is just the decision about, you know, inside the war of communication. what i read this morning in my newspaper, i buried i read very important to change everything. and in fact the, just the act of communication. so if that can be no sort of legal ramifications to the hakes arrest warrants for the russian president, then you're saying it's just for, it's to symbolic, it's just making headlines. it can be just symbolic, but sometimes you can have some effect. for example, if some countries don't recognize, i see more than 100 countries record night i c c. i think an example, i'm sure i'm not sure you know better than me, but i'm think i think that president of russia should go in the next future

in south africa for bricks meeting in that gave it could be a problem because the freak out recognize that you of i see, and by the low, the gun i risk the people within the ground and the q by i just the but that's why in the result will be if you want my opinion, that can sequence about discussion of piece. because when you want discuss about the piece about the end of war, you must be able to go in the country to discuss. and it's clear that for example, absolutely a to be the example. but you mentioned that the, the french spread, the russian president, once we're going from on the ground the from, we discussed the beast. and i said,

you won't recognize. i mean, the rest of the ones is to trouble for the president. the russia will be difficult in some countries. but let's, let's talk about the hakes allegations, which are based on them, ukraine's claims the child deportations by russia is something that most strongly denies, pointing that it was, hadn't obligations to evacuate these miners from a wall zone. why hasn't the i c, c taken rushes position into account here because you know, members of europe in parliament for example, we vote. busy 2 months ago, i think a resolution about it. why? because in fact, there is not 30 years prob stereos investigation and you know, go down a mantell organization said there is a book they show up should read. and everybody repeat. if we want to be sure,

excuse me, we must have 7, yes. investigation, but an investigation of it, not just with the grain, you know, it would be, we should be we, granny and russia and independence authority. and in fact, i just know that the, i think was a, through all the statements of bringing, not very he and some of you with me not very independent. we need the room about the theory, but the through need to tell us investigation. we order that mean investigation would you bring in and friendship and very bring on the russian authorities. it does thing by the rule, but he's going out the window in so many occasions surrounding this conflict in ukraine. i mean, what has happened to diplomatic immunity for incumbents and legitimate heads of state? why isn't the hake respect him not? no, there is no diplomat. he community for,

for somebody with the accusation of i see that. busy i repeat, if somebody with a sion of faith, who is the no territory of state record i, i see nobody should be right. let me speaking to terry mariani french and pay money. thanks for joining us on the program. it's a great pleasure to have your time and your insides. thank you so much. thank you. now we're, those presidents is due to visit aging at the end of march. that's according to china's foreign ministry. that it, the silver will be hosted by shame, paying as the lead designs are expected to discuss boosting bilateral ties. first, tyler brazilian president is heading to china since 2019 both countries. the members of the bricks group of nations, political science professor, paolo alfonso, say the new brazilian administration is taking relations with beijing to new
