ah ah no ah, russia celebrates 9 years of re unification with crimea. we revisit a declassified cia report that admitted the peninsula overwhelmingly. pro russian sentiment back in 1957. meanwhile, some americans takes the streets of washington calling for peace and an end to all deliveries to you. craig, for me, you as president donald trump claims that he'll be arrested on tuesday and uses his social media to call on americans to protest. i'm germany council. the world

fencing cut off to a band on russian and bella, russian participants is lifted while on police when both countries compete in the ongoing women's boxing championship in india. with a very welcome disability international with the latest world news out there. just good to happy with that russia celebrating the 9th anniversary of crimea rejoining the country with fountain may appear in revisiting the city of 7 stapo. the russian president drove his own vehicle to the event where he took part in the opening of a local school and children sent together with the city governor. the visit came as a surprise that it was planned that it would take place virtually to work with despite the west, a refusal to recognize crime me as reunification with russia. i declassified c i a report from 957 refilled that the us admitted the peninsulas pro russian sentiments

. washington expected faith with distance in crimea, which had planned to invade during the cold war. president putin has now reiterated his promise. it is a security for the people that dividend as it could have g e. she was still was 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 her crime in some estoppel issues of security are of high priority especially today. but it will, will do everything to stop any threat. see you in a 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 konica than a 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 957 ca 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 u. s 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 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 and as a 20th, excuse me, as the 20th anniversary of the us invasion of iraq approaches veterans. the conflicts have joined the anti war activists for a rally in washington under the slogan, say no to endless wars demonstrates as one pays through negotiations in ukraine and even calling for the dismantling of nato, which they for, and did an aggressive alliance last month. another rally in washington titled wage against the war machine. so plenty of similar demands. humans, labor rights attorney down to valley who joined saturdays, protest placement message is clear, and the american government needs to listen to it a career alone. jackie, been a very happy, very positive ah, gathering. there's about 5000 people here, very diverse crowd in terms of age in terms of race. and the people are very

hopeful that we're going to start a new piece and not only in the us, but also in europe. i think people waking up to the fact that this is a proxy war against russia. many people don't want to 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 gonna throw on the war 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 attacks, always 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 streets spreading that message. i've seen cameras, but it all seems from independent press. i haven't seen any mainstream press here from was staying in the us. former president on 2024 republican

hopeful donald trump has called for public protests of the claiming that he will be arrested next week. posting early on saturday morning on his media platform. truth, social trump pointed to reports about the possibility he could be arrested on choose day on touch americans to quote, take on nation back. however, 2 hours later, a trump spokesman clarify that the politicians have not written his post with direct knowledge of the timing of any arrest. this comes as a man hasn't caught his reportedly preparing to indict the trunk, but the charges have not been made. public t's marina cars 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 so called ongoing leaks in the media there . regarding one of his cases, his face and 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

payments to a stormy daniel's 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 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 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 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 there were federal charges brought against him,

but donald trump was never charged regarding his role in all that. so this is something that they are 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, his ease in his own social media platform and his 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 last for the dental elections and why don't switzer and then we saw what happened is they forms 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 notes as well. journalist on political analysts, john verbally say the binded administration will do it 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 taken control, big tech wall street. you could serve 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 2 obstacles well trumped and probably dissented. you know, american law is written in such a way and there are so many american law that they can get you for anything they can go after anybody and destroy you and find some find some violation that you committed and put you in jail. the democratic party establishment, which again, which is establishing totalitarian regime in the us. they are so pathologically afraid of trump. they have him so much. germany has canceled the women

fencing well top off of the sports governing body lifted up, bound on russian, on belive russian athletes following more than 60 percent of nations voting to allow the countries to compete. ones and sharma picks up the story. the oh no. why? yeah, wide enough to get a port in what's happening deal renew. denny is a big, great tool for russian bella, region athletes. they are completing the women won't st. john's in shape with their national flag, unmatched and symbol. the international walk thing association listed on the meeting along the route. the need to compete out usually 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? so the last thing i would tell, or no rush or not believe we're going stronger, i'm louder. gentleman asked me to answer the petition on change dot o r g,

demanding geopolitical influence. should not impact lumping essentially, saying that politics am for should not be twice the petitioner on the undersigned, therefore, cooling 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, at least from returning to the olympic games. the olympic games must not be politicized. ha ha. the sad to see that the international halting arena, getting boring without strong players. if anything, was the suggest. seeing that next year in 2024 russian plans could flee in the ice hockey worn championship. every one 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 fencing 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 to lou turner right here in bella rouge, annapolis. this drove strong reaction from the paternity. 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 venue 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, vision, athletes. who know there me come a day when sports and politics will not be mixed by politicians. an official region sharma, r t new delhi. we also spoke with diana piazza, k, member of the russian women's boxing team on how she felt dawning, her nations flag or the world championships going on in india this week. a 3rd sitting on the chest. 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 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 deference, fear, i hope, sooner or later we will come to this. an austrian politician has called on serbia to demolish a memorial to children, killed in the nato bombing campaign of the country. in 1999, the official says the monument encourages 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 in serbia remained the cradle of european anti americanism, and anti nato sentiment. i called to remove this monument immediately a memorial to survey and children killed during 3 months of the nato bombing campaign commemorates while belgrade cools aggression against the country. in 1999

the memorial depicts a 3 year old girl, one of the youngest victims killed during the air raids. she was one of $2500.00 civilians killed during the nato campaign which was carried out without the approval of the un security council. to day those who survived the bombing se soviet will never forget. neither of them. one of them. 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 so they can hide their trace in the role. it is 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 and sat via it is not going to happen. a portal for them. he poked 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 rather than me go. 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 though that 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 have committed all around the world. their monuments, other rivers of blood of innocent people, destroyed cultures civilizations. 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. rose and i'm a get on against serbia. is important for children to know what was stood up for

ukrainian soldier ripping out pages from the islamic holy book, and burning them following harsh criticism from social media uses. the video was taken down from take talk where it was originally posted. we got reaction to the instant from our crumb sabri, the head of the supreme islamic administration in jerusalem. me my ira will be as i watched with bitterness and regrets. what do you, cranium, servicemen were doing. there is no excuse for the sect. i believe that they show extreme fanaticism and hatred manifested in the burning of the holy koran. it reflects their thinking and we condemn such behavior on their part. they documented their shameless act, so it's not just rumors. their goal is provocation. there is negligence on the part of the arab and islamic media and arab countries. we must discuss this outrageous act. brazil as president is due to visit beijing at the end of march. according to china's foreign ministry,
