a marriage of convenience, but for russia in china, their relationship is strategic and an alternative to the west, so called rules based order. what the west refuses to recognize the russians in the chinese practice, and it's called multi polarity. ah, 2 russian girls are reunited with their relatives back home often agreement is reached with kids that were turned off. the parents were arrested in ukraine with people in the uniforms ran into a apartment. the light switch turned off because somebody fell on the switch. they started to twist my dad's arms with, so people laying on the floor with their hands behind their heads. us vice president canada. however, i think that they visit africa later. this week, i made washington's face. the continent is drifting to go to russia and china with him. all civilians are wounded by internationally prohibited mines lifted

across don't pass by the ukrainian military, bringing the total number of casualties from the bond explosives to more than a 100, including 3 debt these kind of minds answered personnel. mines i scattered throughout the city. all done that and right now they're hard live visible on the ground and washington expresses it's support for creating a close of the national army. so be a mob of 24 years. and nato led 40 bowman to belgrade with everyone. welcome. this is on the international with the latest world news update is great to have you with us. this is on 5, julie unsupported information of the evaluation from russia's foreign ministry in response to the findings of the un box probe. they claimed moscow's actions in ukraine, including the alleged 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 don bass 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. meanwhile, 2 ukrainian children have been returned to their home with the aid of russia's human rights ombudsman. they were identified after a request from keith and were united with their mother in the russian city of the skulls. and another such incident, ukraine agreed to return to russian girls who had been stuck in a dancer, as of their parents were arrested back on the travelling through moldova and

armenia. there now finally, back home in russia under their aunt's cath rushes, human rifle ombudsman commented on the mazda ford. wasn't with them was 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. both girls were born in the russian city of nation, enough good out in 2019 moving to odessa with their parents. that on to, on the eldest sister shed while they went through. but i will come again, j lynch. it was a 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 a apartment. the light switch turned off because somebody fell on the switch. they started to twist my dad's arms with so people laying on the floor with their hands behind their heads. then with a lead to the other room where was said for 2 hours with a woman asking us questions such as what bus bizarre your 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 was picked out when and here's the villa. i think there was always hope. i understood it would be hot, but it was even hard to mentally to understand that now girls with their, 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 at 1st, they were supposed to be returned before january the 30, but ukraine kept create an obstacles with the returns, aiden move and further away it all ended positively, though. so imminent, early a rush dismiss claimed that has been illegally deporting children from east in ukraine as not moscow points the need to evacuate mine as away from military combat zones. the deportation allegations levied against moscow by the international criminal court which were previously voiced by care of the icy seas. jurisdiction is not recognized by countries including russia, china, india,

and the u. wes rushes, children's rights commissioner posted a sarcastic response to the hague, issuing of arrest warrants for her. and president putin on alleged war crimes chart . if 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. human aren't labor rights attorney don kovachick believes the accusations i ended attacking russia rather than protecting children. the key of government. since 2014 has been attacking their own people, ethnic russians in the dom bass area including children. and now that russia is trying to protect those children, and they're the ones being accused of wrongful doing. i mean, it's just ridiculous. honestly, they're going to attack russia, whatever they do. i mean, i think, you know, in the end, that's why russia began its special operation in february they,

they realized they were going to be vilified in attack. no matter what they, so they miles will defend themselves. in the same is true with these children, you know, they're going to be vilified. if they leave the children there and the children are killed or if they take them. so you know, so in the end they did the right thing. and again, they're going to be attacked either way. there was an operation, peter pan after the cuban revolution in which the us will need 14000 shells from their families in cuba, gave them to families in the u. s. there were air lives like that after the vietnam war, where the u. s. took $3000.00 vietnamese children, gave them to american families. of course, you had the recent case of trump who took children forcibly from latin american immigrants, but the u. s. is never investigated. for crimes, even though there war crimes are substantial and now we don't yet republic way to

more civilians have been wounded by bound, petal, anti personnel mines scattered across residential areas by the ukrainian military. at least 3 locals have already been killed into a box and more than 100 wounded by the internationally prohibited explosives. i'll teach women culture of spoke with the latest victims. 2 more civilians were wounded here in dentist. both of them stepped on a so called metal mine. 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 nest for over a year. and now the spring time has come. many of these little mines are surfacing on the ground and they're not visible to the naked eye. and as a result, people get hurt almost on a daily basis. right now i will speak to the latest victims how these special mines . yeah. what on,

what could you live with somebody 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 time, i took a step around and instantly had an explosion. i screamed loudly and some young guys were now. one took off his foul 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 80s. i have lived here, i have replaced the glass in my windows full times. we 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. that 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 older 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. soon after an ambulance arrived, it took me to the hospital. i was immediately taken care of and told about the car sequences to pull. i would lose my leg. i said, i've already accepted these. that's what mines 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 of the nest. and right now they're hardly visible on the grounds. and we hear about victims of these minds 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 the nasdaq and 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. romantic also have archie. the nest republic us vice president camel harris is leaving for a week long trip to africa on saturday. sheets you to meet with the leaders have gone that tanzania, and zambia is the highest level visit to the constance by u. s. official. and yes. and it comes as washington stakes to rival devising influence of russia and china. as artist corrales, hutner explains. s will be carmella harris's 1st visit to the african continent, but no one seems certain what the objectives behind this visit is. as use intimated, she will be in ghana, tanzania, as well as zambia. but one thing is for sure,

we know about the u. s. s. at least tentative position with regards to it's a former influence on the continent following a void of some 2 decades in which is a c in china moving in and the growing influence of for russia. and this seems to be very much a guiding of as vivid as the u. s. actively tries to wage a gap between it's between africa as well as russia and china. and this seems to be a part of the motif if you will, that is. busy informing this visit the truth strengthened the united states partnerships without african and advance. so share effort and security and 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. there is no doubt that the u. s. is looking squarely added geopolitical 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 top is already identified a china as, as a villain, blaming and behind african debt problem. seeing that if it wasn't for china handing out money and, and seriously, and entering numerous african countries and dragging its feet when it comes to re negotiating. the said that, that african lot 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 ukraine and a journalist arthur, specifically, if the u. s. is in a tug of wall for the continent in order to win the influence here on african grounds. 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 diplomatic war here as it tries to in favor and friends. but the who has, has a lot of catching up to do, and they may be joining the fight already. a beck, let's not discuss this with foreman. i jerry and presidential aspirants to adama gone, but the 2nd when he, thanks for joining us on

a program this evening. so come, horace is the 3rd top us official to visit the african continent since the beginning of this year. was it? what is your opinion of accounts for washington's increasing interest in the region? yes, this is actually quite surprising that the united is trying to make it for tomorrow in africa, because it is clear that the influence of united it went extensively in africa. everybody's c u. s. policies towards africa as physically driven by cotton gin and take you know, resources. so i believe she is here to men fencing, kind of which i think some of the africans are well, what is happening? what you is is i was coming to, i forgot to do is all about is stuck to know what is sources on. if you look at even the current through the choose in east, south and western africa. most of these countries are the countries where the until we're sentiment is very, very high, hasn't, i'm, you know, look the way just to do with our chinese depth. and if you come back to gonna most

of their suffering on the challenges they're physically got in inflation regarding crisis or by the fuel prices and rising cost of living is quality blame on the i am a debt, which is also confronted by the us. if you go back to them than you are the same problem. so i don't know what she's coming to get because to the best of my knowledge, africa has moved forward. but beyond what you had to think in africa used to be, and africa knew why the friends, china has been very supportive in terms of building infrastructure. i've given the necessary when, when the pro much approach that been, if you want africa and china, and if you look at what happened from russia recently, bloody reported to president of russia. clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of debt relief, africa countries. this is something that africans us deliberately. so i don't know what you as a tried to come and do what to the best of my knowledge. i don't think there's any very strong positive outcome from that meeting. it just still went to go on the

same way that until, until the lincoln was. yeah. you somewhere that the, you know, just the secretary for africa was yeah, nothing you know was a chief significantly that's dim, seems to from the time i don't see any positive outcome from the comment kamala is i don't see how bringing in newton. no compared to what's going on. a 2nd groups of africa i would watch. and what else? the response from the african public been like t b u. s. diplomatic trips and what has been the response been like india and the local media? going to let it clear, like you see, i can give you a clear example, like most of the, most of the, what is united in africa from your section of the if those people do after the war, if you mean the, i'm it on so many issues that help in depth impoverish africa. most of us do our squarely blame of western imperialism. even on the news of the dep relieved that is granted. you don't buy it by russia to provide some for the alpha. i bought it for

one of my job. i got the new address. yes, one can see the differences between what is happening and you know, what is happening with my knowledge. what we're hearing here is that africans, i've seen imperialist new imperialist approach into africa by to with. and i don't think in the centrally, well more to pull out of to syntactic independent diplomatic approach. who lives in africa policies. i don't think i've got used to ready to move with it where it used to be. we do not just it any longer. i don't know, of course, a so many challenges say they've constant is facing right now, including food shortages on the aftermath of the pandemic as well. but the us treasury secretary, janet ellen, has said she couldn't give africa any assurances at this point. so what does that say about the u. s. dedication to the region? amid all of these diplomatic visits? it's the only one side. it didn't buy their own interests even against that of

africa. so that is not but my shoot, that is a one sided relationship. your relationship, but only when they're me, when they're what, when, when it doesn't benefit them, they don't go with it and that is the chest where you see there's no guarantee of any support going to africa. should there be any issue at all that helped a company knew, while almost all the resources that is driving days, global industrial industries is coming from africa. so when you look at these, you say that this is leah one way to losers. where does given dollars in plucking adept when it is that why at the end of the day when we fell into trouble where the it's on was it one side that relationship and i think come publish on an african people and of the company because of grown flabby on these, on a looking for a future. well, there's more to pull out a t under a different approach to do it. new world that will benefit everyone,

not just one side. thank you so much for joining us on. the program is great to get your thoughts on this form, and i, jerry and presidential ass burned down the go by the 2nd. thank you. you're welcome . thank you. and now looking to the east, washington is stepping up its efforts to count a china if a tie one declaring it will ignore beijing's warnings that supplying weapons to the islands is a red line. according to us state secretary anthony blanket in response to a grilling by an are a consensus. whether the p r c is said to you or to anybody that works. the state department, any of our diplomats that there was some sort of red line involved with our stepping up our foreign military for no one to the extent they've ever tried to say anything like that. that's not something that we would obviously take into account while washington has brushed off beijing's red lines. u. s. officials have long tried to draw such lines that that provide little support to the russians and their brutal attack against ukraine that, that is unacceptable. again, that would be

a red line. what i want to do with him when we talk is lay out what the, 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 or the journalist inductive as tom, as far as i think the us approach is obsolete since washington for germany is being confronted by other major powers. it just shows how delusional the u. s. has become the u. s. seems to think that it still lives in the a well of the ninety's as well to 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 results to a control, a city extortion, a bullying or blackmail violence. what it hasn't realized is that that world has changed. and now what used to be fed very powerful kingpin that controlled the

entire city has now turned into an old, slightly seen our man. odd that doesn't control much of the city. i eat much of the wild 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 us bow i'm. 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 is, i did that us still things that it cannot make the rules that it 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. washington has promised the south proclaimed republic of kosovo, his full support in creating an army that will work closely with nato. as according to the us ambassador to christina, the statement comes

a survey amongst 24 years since nathan unleashed its bombing campaign on belgrade. the u. s. fully support kosovo, secure to force us comprehensive transition into multi ethnic professional nato. interoperable territorial defense force, proud of her continuous and excellent cooperation. 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 organizes several joint exercises with local security forces tossed with non military functions. however, in 2018, christina allows his tons to change and transform the cause of security forces into a fully fledged army. despite objections from local, the residence. well, moscow does not recognize cause of those independence does criticize the western bombing campaign in 1999. on the eve of the anniversary of nato's attack,

russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman cost out on the humanist reputation of the us 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 bombs and other munitions were dropped, including those containing depleted uranium. the same one, the 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. u. s. leg allied forth operations conducted by nato and 999 were expected to end in 3 weeks, but instead lasted for over 10. over $2500.00 people were killed during the yugoslavia, bombings, nato forces us munitions and with depleted uranium,

which is allegedly linked to various kansas. and some subs believe that nato should be held accountable for this is to this 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. we're, 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 am, although he won't, we will never trust them again. and we will never forgive them for the children, the civilian casualties and the uranium novelist. no say they conducted the biggest

ethnic cleansing of the serbian population and creation call survey. oh, walt 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 this state. so even though making me lasha banjo essays, the cause of armed forces proposal is aim to promoting u. s. interests in the region. oh, closest road is no doubt that the idea of kosovo armed forces. his support from the west. washington was the one which proposed to take away kosovo from serbia. exactly 24 years ago, nato started its aggression with the goal in mind. in 1999 after serbian military and police forces withdrew the you and established its administrative presence together with its peacekeeping. forces the u. s. and the so called collective west are working on building up costeo's independence. the nato alliance was rufus, in 1999. for them everything was a legitimate target. civilian victims were simply called collateral damage. the

ruthlessness was limited and the consequences of using forbidden weapons which contained depleted uranium are still being felt today. unfortunately, generations and serbia will face more and more consequences in the years to come. serbia cannot stop a single process in kosovo, which has support from the u. s. and nato countries, especially now in serbia, doesn't have the full attention of the international community. so they're using this to finish everything they started in regards to forming costeo's independence or marking the anniversary of nato bombing. if he can larvae, he can head over to r t dot com to watch on documentary on the events of those years. shedding light on the lives of people who came face to face with will. today our armed forces joined our nato allies and airstrikes against serbian forces. ready ah, the white

glove with them report about your visit. okay, this will get this going from bad to worse grade tonight. skyline again, it's by flames. nato insisted it strikes against the sloppier would go off me because it just to me as leslie cost me. yes. you know, your bush is the most because of the

in the me. ringback ready ringback are tired, us air force 8th has called for sending american pilots along with f. 16 fighter jets to ukraine, and he's even volunteered to take part in the conflict himself. it's a faster solution than sending ukrainian pilots to the yes for a training program will be fine when the words over, but you have to win the war 1st. and that's one way to do that. i will live and go myself and will become number one. you can count on me when it comes as care pushes for washington to supply ukraine with f. 16 jets us officials have so far

officially resisted such calls. however, at least 2 ukrainian pilots have reported being trained on simulators to fly f sixteens certified and has previously said that he is not prepared to send any american military personnel to ukraine. i will not send american servicemen to fight ukraine. we have supplied, you, created military equipment to help them defend themselves. were tied us afo's, lieutenant colonel car unclear tusky se sending f sixteens to ukraine would provoke a stronger response from russia leading to a dangerous escalation of the conflicts. i'm not sure what they do with the shipping of them to ukraine or poland where they would probably be based out of but if they fly, combat operations against russian targets. i think the russians are going to take them out. i don't think they're going to sit there and let their facilities or anything else be bombed or targeted by a u. s. f. 16. i think they're going to treated just like other ukrainian weapons

of war and they're going to counter them. and when they counter them, when they counter and if 16, there's f sixteens are going to crash. they're going to record going to be taken out. moroccans will be killed if they're flying m ukrainian pilots will be killed if they're fine. um, so this is extremely dangerous escalation. i don't, i just don't see our air force or our government being prepared to go to a full on war with russia over ukraine or anything else. so f sixteens, there would be an indication that we are ready for such a war, and i don't think we are, and i think bad things will happen for us. for the american sped, things will happen for the americans. many thanks. the company here in asi, international will be back at the top of the hour with more of the latest.
