washington allegedly pledges support for creating a cost of a national army. so be about 24 years since natal. it forces bond belgrade with july from our studio here. moscow? you're watching oxy international. i peter scott's here with all the latest this friday evening. thanks for joining us. odious and factory on supported information, nasty evaluation from russia's for ministry in response to the findings of the un. but probe is claimed. moscow's actions in ukraine, including the legit deportation of children, could amount to war crimes since the investigation of the criminal actions of chemo regime, which unleashed a war against the people of the dumbass in 2014, was not a part of the commissioner's mandate. anti russian and political bias was programmed from the beginning. reports prepared by the commission contain odious

factually, unsupported information collected using the method. there is a reason to believe our position remains firm. all conclusions and results of the so called investigation of the discredited commission are void to us when the mall to ukrainian children have been returned to the home with the aid of russia's human rights ombudsman. they're identified after a request from kevin united with their mother in the russian city of scoff and other such incidents. ukraine agreed to return to the russian girls who'd been stuck in odessa, after their parents were arrested the of the travelling through moldova, and armenia. they are now finally back home in russia under their aunt's care versus human rights ombudsman commented on the matter for florence with almost the it was hard because some specific conditions were presented, but good will and compassion are always present. and that's the main thing that can help resolve such issues. here are both girls were born in the ocean city of nittany norgard later moving to odessa with their parents in 2019. the aunt on the

eldest sister share what they've been through. palmer, i'm a canadian lynch. it was normal day. nothing out of the ordinary. our parents, france came to us in the evening. we played as always, there was also a man who turned out to be the one who betrayed us. when he was living people in uniforms ran into the apartment. the light switch turned off because somebody fell on the switch. they started to twist my dad's arms. we saw people lane on the floor with their hands behind their heads. then with a lead to the other room where we set for 2 hours with a woman asking us questions such as what passport 0 parents have. i responded, i don't know. it was very scary. then our mother was allowed to see us for a couple of minutes before being separated again. put in is the bella. i but there was always hope. i understood it would be hot, but it was even hard to mentally to understand and our girls were there with somebody. we didn't know there was a risk that they would end up in an orphanage and i didn't know how much timing

would take to find them, which at 1st they were supposed to be returned before january the 30. but ukraine kept create an obstacles with the returns, a move and further away it all ended positively though. earlier russia district claims that it's been illegally deporting children from east and ukraine has must go points to the needs of accurate miners away from military combat zones. that he both ation allegations level against moscow by the international criminal court where previously voice by care of that is jurisdiction is not recognized by countries including russia, china, india, and the u. s. which has children's rights commissioner, posted us accost, responds to the eggs, issuing of arrest, warns for her. and president putin on a legit war crimes. 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. from on this, let's cross live now to human, unless a rides lawyer done,

corvalle done good evening to you. now is it just her she, wilson children have been returned back home after negotiations with ukraine. do you think that the 2 countries will, will be able to make further compromises on human rights and lots of this? well, i certainly hope so. i think that we've seen that there's a possibility for negotiations and in fact appears. then in march there was an outline of the deal and the conflict between ukraine, russia and the u. s. and you can intervene to prevent these from breaking out. i think there is a way for these 2 countries to come to agreements on humanitarian issues and on the greater issue of warranties. well, for moscow has denied the allegations that has been to pull in children from easton ukraine, saying that it's hard to move children out of a war zone. or would you make of that justification?

i mean, it seems correct to be. i mean, again, we have to look at the fact that the war began not a year ago, but it began 9 years ago when the government began attacking ethnic russians in the don bass region. and these were these, this is where these children are coming from. these are large, the ethnic russian by the way, you know, when you look at the genocide convention, he talks about removing children from one ethnic group to another here at the same ethnic group. right. the genocide and carried out has been by the government. and again, there are russian ethnic population in the dawn back. of course that has been totally ignored. and it does appear that what's being done by russia is being done on humanitarian grounds. and by the way, since 2014 hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have voluntarily move to russia for say, something like one and a half 1000000. when i was in ra,

stop on don. for example, in november of last year, you saw a lot of ukrainian license plate, you know, there's a lot of ukrainians to move there. so in any case, i don't see these allegations against russia as legitimate whatever happens done. let's hope that more children are united with their parents don't kovachick human labor rights lawyer. thanks very much for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you very much. well now to the dance republic where at least 3 people had been killed or more than a 100 wounded by, by the petal, anti personnel mines scattered across residential areas by the ukrainian military drama courses. but with 2 of the latest victims, 2 more civilians were wounded here in dentist. both of them stepped on a so called that'll mind they're also known as anti personnel mines and they're prohibited. now ukraine, they've been throwing these mines around and residential areas here in the next for

over a year. and now the spring time has come. many of these metal mines are surfacing on the ground and they're not visible to the naked light. and as a result, people get hurt almost on a daily basis. right now. i will speak to the latest victims, how these people might. yeah. what, what could you live? it's a bicycle. i went tell, talk to talk in the morning. we always take the same route and i didn't even notice mine. there was ice on the road and in order not to sleep high, i took a step around and instantly had an explosion. i screamed loudly and some young guys from that one took off his bow. t as it is torn a cake called an ambulance and brought me here in 35 minutes. thanks to the doctors and the quick action of those man. i stayed like it constantly hear the sounds of missiles in the 8 years i have lived here. i have replaced the gloss in my windows

full times, but don't have any melcher units here. all we have is a small village where 60 or so buildings. that's all i will discharge soon and i want to give a huge thank you. all the doctors will know. sure. i remember everything i drove to burrows of i a street got out of the current suddenly heard a piercing bang. there is, oh, i didn't immediately understand what it was. then all i knew was that it was lying on the ground. i looked at my left leg, the foot was hanging off. i got up onto my other leg and hopped 10 meters to my car . secondly, there were young people standing around, i asked them for help by the way, a huge thank you to them because they immediately responded and called for help at that there soon after an ambulance arrived, it took me to the hospital. i was immediately taken care of and told about the com sequence estoppel i would lose my leg. a said i've already accepted these that's all minds may look like children's toys. they can be of 2 different colors, green and brown. now these kind of minds, anti personnel mines,

have scattered throughout the city all for genetic and right now they're hardly visible on the ground. and we hear about victims of these mines on a daily basis. let me show you what they look like on the ground. thousands of these prohibited anti personnel mines have been scattered by ukraine around dennis can the rest of the dentist republic now they're not visible at all. and they're usually in residential areas here. when a person walks with their dog or just going on a walk with their families, they have no idea what's on the ground. and once they step on this mine, the person is either killed or maimed for life. room on costs or if archie, the nest republic washington has promised to kosovo its full support in creating a defense force that would work closely with nate. so as,

according to the us ambassador to the nation as serbia profess to march 24 years, says need to let forces bump well great. the u. s. fullest supports kosovo, secure to forces, comprehensive transition into a multi ethnic professional nato. interoperable territorial defense force, proud of her continuous and excellent cooperation, were following the bombing of serbia. the un gave permission for a nato led international peacekeeping force to be formed in pristina, with the goal of providing stability to the water region. the mission consisted of both nato and non nato members, which organized several joint exercises with local security forces sus, with non military functions. however, in 2018 pristine announced his plans to change and transform the customer security forces into a fully fledged army. despite objections from local serbian residence, well, moscow doesn't recognize castillo's independence and has criticized the western bombing campaign in 1999 on the eve of the anniversary of nato's attack, russia's foreign ministry spokesman cast dealt on the humanist reputation of the u

. s. and its allies, under the cynical guise of humanitarian intervention for $78.00 days, nato aircraft and navy struck the peaceful cities of this country. more than 2000 missiles were fired. $14000.00 bombs and other munitions were dropped, including those containing depleted uranium. the same one that britain considers its standard for use the reputation of the collective west as some kind of peacemaker humanist. some kind of righteous man, was forever buried in yugoslavia. he or sled allied force operations conducted by nature in 99 were expected to end in 3 weeks, but lasted over turn. over 3500 people were killed during the yugoslavia, bombings. nato forces used munitions with depleted uranium, which is allegedly linked to various cancers. as some serves believe that nato should be held accountable for this useless fidelity. we're talking about several

types of cancer leukemia. throat cancer, thyroid gland, cancer, brain tumors, bone cancer, and several other types of cancer which are caused by depleted uranium. the world health organization based in leone has proved this claim. they found the cause and effect relationship between cancer and uranium. while we're, we're not. i am not suing nato because of the financial gain. i'm suing them because i want to prove to the world that a crime against serbian people has been committed. the crime was committed by criminals in the nato alliance. i hope i will live long enough to see the success of this lawsuit. i am waiting to see the confirmation that the depleted uranium is responsible for what's happened to us, so i'm on a lucky point. we will never trust them again, and we will never forgive them for the children, the civilian casualties and the uranium novelist. no, sir, they conducted the biggest ethnic cleansing of the serbian population and corporation call survey. oh, well, it kept silent about it and i'm head because it hurts me. my father is

a wu veteran and i'm and violet, his sacrifice, everything for the state recorded to duchamp, brokovich to serve in journalists, the bombing of yugoslavia are represented of precedence financial forces the past to the a so called the kosovo independent recognition. the national organizations is closed, so this is the, this is the alternative path. how do early demise position, of course, of, or in international relations for us and nato, for the u. s. which was the global hagaman at the debt, the time that you em frame article became too narrow. do that. oh, organizationally and politically. the u. s. did not want to seek approval from russia, china, or european countries for it. see the dimensions all around the world in this context. context that, that can you go slowly at it present that a president that could then be used anywhere else in the case of the ukrainian

prizes. it will have added that the leave, the to escalation ceased, since it will not force the russian a leadership to negotiate. on the contrary, it will leave the possibility for up, but i suppress it. the for one, that is the broken answer. mocking the anniversary of nato's bombing of yugoslavia, you can head over to r t dot com to watch our documentary on the events of those years. shutting lights on the lives of people who came face to face with wall. today our armed forces joined our nato allies and airstrikes against serbian forces. ah, the white glove, what i'm about to visit. okay. we'll get this going from bad to worse. great tonight. skyline again, it's by flames. nato insisted it's strikes against this love. ya would go off

me because it just me as that was possibly call studying me. yes, you know, your bush is most tickets to get me in the. ready ringback

me and maybe don't know, rushes deputy foreign minister has confirmed the fox news host for carlson had made an official request for an interview with the man putin. something called in claims us intelligence discovered by spying on him. yamaha with details. i can confirm that this journalist made such a request some time ago. our system is designed so that this kind of request is automatically reported to the presidential administration where it's considered in terms of the messages. i wouldn't be surprised if the national security agency or the federal bureau of investigation is collecting data from your smartphone right now. let's look also in claims, dennis said tapped his phone to sabotage his attempt to interview boots and in july 21. though, said he contacted russia's deputy foreign minister, but later received a call from a soul soon you confidential information about the proposed interview. where are

you going to do interview putin? why wouldn't had it set up? i was working on it and they had broken to my text messages and adding of an essay, broken dear signal, cuz they admitted it really oh yeah. with us national security agency dismissed, took austin's claim, saying that he's never been an intelligent targets of the agency. but one person who's been accused of being a kremlin intermediary by the n. a, say, grayson journalist on your part on pill that she says otherwise, the legal for the essay to spy on the communications of us citizens. and pretty much as a result of the sweeping, domestic spying powers that were ushered in as a result of president george w bush's war on terror. those national security regulations were slowly walked back to the point that us authorities could claim it was okay to spy on the communications of a us citizen as long it was part of their overall effort to monitor the

communications of foreign government officials. and so in this case, it's possible that the essay was monitoring the communications of russian deputy foreign minister raw gov. but the fact that an as an essay whistleblower came forward and told tucker that the u. s. government was actually planning on leaking his tax essentially unmasking his identity as a us citizen, a journalist who was in contact with rob cause in order to embarrass him and, and do this for political reasons. shows the length to which these powers are getting abused us authorities are of using these buying powers. they weren't actually interested in leaking this information because they believe that i or tucker, had in some way violated the law and had an inappropriate relationship with the

russian government. they were c simply seeking to embarrass the government tucker carlson to discredit him by implying that he was communicating with a russian or kremlin agent, me a u. s. citizen who has no formal relationship with the russian government or financially or otherwise. my and alice that i worked for the gray zone is completely independent. we don't get money from states or even state funded organizations. and so they were using, in order to imply through innuendo that tucker was somehow speaking with russian agents in a way that was inappropriate. and then by extension, they were trying to deal jeremiah any views that he takes regarding russia or the current war and ukraine. u. s, vice president comalla horace is set to visit africa on saturday. the official plans to meet with the leaders of gonna tons of the year and zambia, according to the white house with corporation and the war in ukraine, said to be on the agenda for more less. let's go live now to archie,

correspondence, crab. oh, let's heart. logan is here, colorado. oh, can you tell us what can we expect from the u. s. vice president's visits to africa . i'll be there. this will be comedy harris's 1st visit to the african continent. but no one seems to certain what the objectives behind as visit is. as use intimated, she will be in ghana, tanzania, as well as the ambia. but one thing, as for sure, we know about the u. s. is at least tentative position with regards to its former influence on the continent following avoid of some 2 decades in which is the scene china moving in and the growing influence of russia. and this seems to be very much a guiding of as vivid as the you with actively tries to wage a gap between it's between africa as well as russia and china.

and this seems to be a pad of the motif if you will. that is. busy informing this visit, but here are the views of you as press secretary the triple strengthened the united states partnerships with other african and advance so share efforts and security in economic cris parity to resolve the trip in partnership with african governments and private sector, the vice president will advance efforts to expand access to the digital economy, support climate adaptation and resilience and strengthen business ties. investment include in through innovation entrepreneurship and the economic empowerment of women, or crush life since the beginning of the year harris is now, i believe, the 3rd top us official to visit the continent. i also have to be said that rushes for ministers to the gala was love rav has also made numerous souls there. what accounts for the sudden interest in africa the moment

well, there is no doubt that the u. s. is looking squarely added sir. geo political adversaries . if you will, as it looks into the growing influence of china and that of russia on the continent . and it is trying very hard to make sure that it comes out on the top is already identified a china as, as a villain, blaming behind african debt problem. seeing that if it wasn't for china handing out money and, and seriously and dare to ring numerous african countries and dragging its feet when it comes to re negotiating. the said that after golden, i'd be where it is. and we heard when jealous yellen, the us treasury secretary, when she came around earlier this year, she penned the current food crisis on,

on russia, following the conflict. ready in ukraine, and there has been a overriding message which lasted through the anthony blaine convert, and we expected to carry through with camilla harris. but even though you know, the u. s. has tried as hard as it could to paint china and russia as, as the villains. that message has certainly not landed, not when one looks at the interest to the people are seeing when it comes to the russia, africa summit, which will be coming in a couple of months. and there's also the brick summit, which has shown a lot of enthusiasm, at least on the ground here. we've heard, you know, even the opposition party from south africa really enthused. 3 and half the likes of vladimir putin visiting the continent and calling him a friend of africa. and that's not necessarily the kind of emotion that is being

stirred when it comes to joe biden visiting the continent, possibly earlier this year as well. but let's hear more from us treasury secretary, jemma gillian, fine for influence. just isn't the focus of my visit at all. i know it's a completely natural question. it is not at all what i am focused on. our interest is in partnering with africa. this is not a competition with china, and it seems that africa will be a stage for many more months to come, if not years, that the superpowers will be locked in some sort of diplomat tig war here as it tries to win favor and friends. but the u. s. has a lot of catching up to do, and they may be joining this fight already. a bec oh crop. i hope you keep you posted on camera. camilla harris is a trip to africa that corolla sutler are, sees africa correspondent. thank you very much. miller cross in the

west, washington is stepping up his efforts to counter china, declaring that it will ignore beijing's warnings that supplying weapons to taiwan is a red line. according to your state sexy unseen blinkin in response to a grilling by american sentences. whether the pure sea is said to you or to anybody that works to the state department. any of our diplomats that there are some sort of red line involved with the stepping up our foreign altar. if no one to the stint they've ever tried to say anything like that, that's not something that we would obviously take into account of. washington has brushed off beijing's red lines. yes, officials have long tried to draw such lines of their own to provide lethal support to the russians and their brutal attack against ukraine. that, that is unacceptable. again, that that would be a red line. what i want to do with him when we talk is lay out what, what kind of what each of our red lines are. a red line for us is we start saying

a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around for being utilized always. so to also a journalist and activists thomas' father, he says, the u. s. approach is out of date on washington's had gemini, has been challenged by other countries. it just shows how delusional the u. s. has become the u. s. seems to think that it still lives in the a well, the ninety's says world war 2, the u. s. has pretty much been running the world as you would a mafia style racket, you know, resorting to exactly the same techniques that matthew resorts to control a city extortion, bullying or blackmail violence. what it hasn't realized is that that world has changed to now what used to be fed very powerful kingpin that controlled the entire city has now turned into an old, slightly seen our man that doesn't control much of the city. i am much of the world

any more, in fact controls only a few small neighborhoods in that city. namely, you know what the so called collective west. that's because now you have countries that have stood up that are standing up against the u. s. power. i will knows that the so called rules based order was always a u. s. or west based order that's clear to everyone now. and so, you know, it's idea that us still things that it can make the rules that can make everyone else abide by those rules. as it has done for a very long time, just shows that the u. s. leadership at least is completely out of touch with reality. well that's a rock for this. are not all from me peter scott, but are these nicky are and it will be here. the top of the hour you through all the feelings stories as we headed to the weekend. thank you very much with

this is the ancient lake and by called more specifically, the island of often also known as the heart of by called straight away. you can feel something mystical tear a place of youth. traditions, an amazing mix of cultures and peoples. but what makes this place so appealing? we're going to speak to some of the most prominent locals of alcorn and uncover some of the seats

in the west. it's called a marriage of convenience, but for russia and china, their relationship is strategic. and an alternative to the west, so called the rules based horner, what the west refuses to recognize the russians in the chinese practice. and it's called multi polarity. ah huh. the world now stands any record 8000000000 people. that is a 1000000000 people requiring a food, natural resources and energy. however, the population boom is not coming from the most a fluid countries. rather it is,

those regions already.
