ah ah, the least 3 people are wounded after ukrainian dro report to the explodes in which is to the region from 200 kilometers away from moscow with as americans placed their tactical nuclear weapons on their allies, territory in train crews and pilots to use them. if necessary, we have decided to do the same. but everything else is russia, deploy tactical nuclear weapons to bellow. ruth, he says moscow will retain control of the of the central american nation of honduras establishes,

ties with china up to breaking up decade. long relations with the west is fully aware of the negative consequences. the depleted uranium imo calls us to human health and the environment that's according to moscow who put aside the case funds to black here with radio arts with sunday. and that means is the weekly here on our t international. my name is peter scott, and here's some of the top stories from the week. just gone. thanks for joining us . we start off with a bit of breaking news this out because fragments of ukrainian drone have been reported found at the scene of the blast that wounded at least 3 people in the residential area versus to the region. that's just 200 kilometers south of moscow. ah, the explosion took place in the middle of the afternoon and some people became aware of this because there their building's was shaken. they're a girl,

windows were shattered. now this happened after a technical recognizance you a v crashed and it was also our loaded. weird munition, as we now know from local authorities who have been evaluating everything on the scene. we're seeing more and more videos pop up on social media with people posting of the aftermath. and we can see not only are 3 people had been hurt as a result of this, we also saw damage to 3 residential buildings and surrounding areas. the videos that have been posted online. we can see some of them show and massive crater that was created as a result of this. like i said, emergency services were there at the scene as soon as they could get there. the 3 people that have been injured there been tendon to. and as we now know, this was a ukrainian tuple, i have a 100 for one street which was loaded with ammunition, which is why the after my thought was saw was so severe. and people of course were scared, but they have been reassured by again,

local authorities that there is no more threats to the civilian population or to the infrastructure there. of course, this is not the 1st time that we've seen if it is indeed confirmed that it is from the ukrainian side. there's drone, this is not the 1st time that we've seen ukrainian rose enter a russian territory and inflict and damage not only to people. that's also infrastructure. so no doubt this is exactly what they're investigating now. how and manage to enter and cross our russian territory. make sure that this doesn't happen again. no, to our top story. no, russia will a station set school nuclear weapons in neighboring bella, luce, us, in response to the deployments of american youths in europe, the nato has condemned. the move was about him imputes amid the announcements, in his latest interview, what does me say? so the bush pref president lucas shanker was right when he says that bell roost is our closest ally. as americans placed their tactical nuclear weapons on their allies, territory, and trained crews and pilots to use them if necessary. we have decided to do the

same without violating our obligations that we continue to meet in terms of non proliferation of nuclear weapons. we have already a sister or bell or russian colleagues in refitting their planes. 10 planes are ready to carry such weapons. we have already sent are well known and efficient iskander systems which can carry such weapons. beginning on the 3rd of april, we will start to train crews, and on the 1st of july, we will finish the construction of a storage facility, specifically for tactical nuclear weapons on bell russian territory. we will not hand over the weapons to bela bruce just as the u. s. doesn't due to its allies. we're simply doing what they have been doing for decades. or they may pertain also discuss the north stream sabotage. he pointed to statements from british experts that the device found near the pipelines could have been used to transmit a signal to set off the explosion, the russian peasants, recall his recent me thing with that shooting thing in moscow as a productive unpleasant affair. earlier we thought you for the pentagon security

policy analyst, michael mullin, we discussed what the president said in the interview. i think that just the deployment response is a in a response in kind to appeals by, by a potent repeatedly to de escalate. and all he's doing is bringing parity some semblance of parity. and in the visibility if you will, because under the visibility which was heavily violated by the west, you don't arm the, the west at the expense of the east, but they, they've done that. so i'm envisioning that, that the beller rose and the other members of the collective securely treaty organization could become at the new warsaw pact, you will in response to the existence of an expanded nato. and i see that evolving quite clearly now with the, with the movement of new nuclear facilities into beller

roost. and that could be extending it to the other members of the c s t o. they have an article for which is equivalent to nato's article 5, which is natasha on one of the attack on all. so this is a very interesting development. a joint interview president putin claimed where some powers tried to disrupt negotiations with his chinese counterparts. i was in response to reports that the 1000000 artillery shells have been sent to claim by allies. the information was revealed the same day. he met with the chinese leader, where the pair discussed beijing's pre fun for the war and ukraine. the leaders also expressed concern of a you estimate trip services, calling on washington to explain yes or calabrese, the chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations over the last 10 years and are of crucial and vital importance for today's world order. a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind. we are guided by the principles in the un charter and i dare to an unbiased view were always ready

for peace and dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history western efforts to isolate and to contain russia both economically and politically hit a wall to day. as the chinese leader came out and said that, not only was china happy about the rec, would trade that in our joys with russia at a $190000000000.00 turn over year, it'll increase that trade to a much greater figure by 2030, that is the plan voiced by vladimir putin and she jumping of china booth came out and loaded where relations are right now. they're at a historic height. they said the best they've been in centuries more than that. vladimir putin and she jumping listed to various areas where they would work together, build on those relations, and they're pretty much everything, their culture, their trade business, financial services,

as well as technology energy and much, much more, both countries optimistic about the future. the chinese also brought with them a plan, a plan for peace, la hamster mooney, is full as we believe that many of the points of china's piece plan are similar to our views and can be taken in action for the peaceful settlement. when the western key of are ready to accept these, however, so far we see no willingness on their park. that may imprudent also during the press conference, told the audience that the various dignitaries, the delegations was the press that while he and she jumping, talked, vladimir putin was, was brief that the great britain and official air had announced that they would now supply depleted uranium rounds to the ukrainian military, the same depleted uranium that has been linked to countless deaths and birth defects, cancer in areas such as a rock where it has been used low,

we missed it for but the u. k. as announced, not only the supply of tanks to ukraine, but also shells with depleted uranium. it seems that the west has really decided to fight russia to the last ukranian, not in words, but in reality, if all of this happens, russia will have to react accordingly. based on the fact that the collective west is beginning to use weapons with a new killer component, all in all grand ambitious plans voiced by, by china, and by russia. the leaders of both, both saying that they stood for a multi polar world than that they would work to develop that world. and the various systems and bodies that govern it. a world based on, on rules and laws, in which china and russia will remain good friends. lillia michael roy, sushi discussed a range of topics involving the chinese presence,

visits were upon the guests from the west, the clinging on sir unipolar world, see whether no beijing is proposed. peace, fun for ukraine will become a reality. the world is is changing. it's had enough of the, let's call it from what it is, western arrogance. and it will start to form their own alliances in response to the deployment of western alliances such as needle the existence of which still defies any logic because the better lines are supposed to fight communism and protect the west. from the ideological spread a and military spread. and it was countered by the war, so fact, which was promptly dismantled. and, you know, tried china as has come to moscow with a potential piece proposal for the conflict in ukraine. a john kirby of the us national security council, formerly of the u. s. state department, john kirby saying washington is not interested about

a possible seas far in ukraine, particularly if it's mediated by china. alex, why wouldn't washington be against ending the conflict? we've seen the collapse of their financial system over the last couple of weeks here. that truly shows you the power that washington really has nowadays, which is not much they're used to ripping up agreements. they're in to that apparently, and they're up to really no good on the international worldwide, i would say diplomacy levels while the u. s. is scrambling. china is now gain partners one by one with their belt road initiative and through the belt road initiative, investing in other countries. they are once again building a relationship. that is what the world is up against. and i think it's, it's quite challenging for the us. he make a very good point, alex, which i'll take over to, to benjamin chow now, because how, how do you think, benjamin, that, that the members of the bricks group of nations and i also african state to how do you think they perceive the beijing proposed a piece plan,

now we are seeing opposite trends in a well there was this portray can and does this a cam left by the usda is showing actually a train of equalization, which could ton bad because equal to wars as trade and interests are more segregated and it worries becoming a more serious um, gain. ah, you know, people for comps and we understand that, but it is quite unreasonable that the us now is albany asking people to reject any piece plans on ukraine as you raised. right. that these no, no, i'm currently at 20 african country meters here in moscow seeking collaboration. yet we are seeing and other can do the exclusive cups in the name of democracy for our la coarsely and with standard china and hon. doris have established diplomatic ties up to the central american nation and a decades long relations with taiwan. honduras is an important country in central

america. the government of honduras chooses to stand with $181.00 countries in the world recognise and undertake to adhere to the one china principal, severe the so called diplomatic relations with taiwan, establish diplomatic relations with the people's republic of china and undertake that endures, shall no longer develop an official relations or official exchanges with taiwan. this is the right choice, that is in line with the prevailing trend and supported by the people. china highly appreciate that the severing of thought is, came up to don dorn, foreign minister visited beijing now door and foreign ministry stated that the recognized tie one as an inseparable pots of chinese territory and beijing as the only legitimate government. the loss of relations with honduras leaves tie one with formal diplomatic ties with just 13 states around the globe, including vatican city. as i pay has accused these central american country. i've been, lord by chinese promises a financial investments and has expressed is disappointment by

w single beaching dungy, taiwan, ministry of foreign affairs would like to warn beijing that its attempts to lure our diplomatic allies with false promises in order to squeeze our diplomatic space has seriously harmed the feelings of the tie when his people and sped up the divergence of cross strait relations wilson the widow cordial, joseph gregory mahoney from the east at china. normal university says that on doris is starting to see beijing as a reliable partner. as offers more economic and diplomatic potential than so, one countries are motivated by self interest and it's in honduras, best interest as a developing country to have good relations with china. there's simply no way that taiwan can compensate or losses and opportunity related to aid, trade development and diplomatic support. and, and you know, if it goes again but continued to alienate beijing, it would certainly continue to suffer those losses. additionally, honduras has not been happy with its relations with united states and getting

closer to aging will probably inspire more goodwill from washington. as we've seen, has been experienced by other countries that have changed sides in the tie paging divide. but actually i was speaking with an ambassador, china from a latin american country, this last weekend on his country, has a centrist conservatively leaning government and leans towards the united states publicly. and yet, he conceded to me privately that his capitol views china as the power to contend with in the future and his hedging now by improving ties with beijing, but relatively quietly for more on washington's efforts to exert his influence on doris. by pressuring the central american nation to opt out of establishing size, a china do head over so our websites are feed dot com and really reparable home to civilian human health. the russian defense ministry has said, that's what will come from the u. k. decision to send

a piece of iranian ammunition to ukraine. moscow calls the move, the pinnacle of shamelessness. use around those 2 remaining and thank you. the west is well aware of the negative consequences of the use of depleted uranium ammunition, despite the fact that the use of such munitions will cause irreparable harm to the health of ukrainian armed forces and the civilian population. however, nato countries, in particular, great britain express their readiness to supply these type of weapons to the key of regime nato has actually become an accomplice to horrific crimes ukrainians for nato. as we all see, are just expandable. no one cares about their fate. either in european capitals or across the ocean. the pinnacle of shamelessness was the recent reports about britain's readiness to supply. the key of regime was depleted uranium ammunition it comes after british authorities announced that they intend to supply ukraine with d. u projectiles that can penetrate modern tanks and armored vehicles. but in the present war that russia will be forced to respond accordingly if the radioactive

components is brought into the conflicts or the junk heavy the us national security council spoke to us and dismiss times for moscow. that the move raises the stakes. so in the use also jobs is not uncommon. i mean, make no mistake and this is yet another straw man through which the russians are driving a stake. this kind of ammunition is fairly commonplace. been used for, for decades. the west used munitions contending depleted uranium in europe during the bombing of former yugoslavia. according to former nato secretary general load robinson, more than 30000 rounds of ammunition with depleted uranium targeted the country during the time serving officials who this re march 24 years since the beginning of the nato bombing say those numbers are actually higher. the use of depleted uranium in the balkans spots a number of lawsuits by those who participated in the war, including troops from italy, france, and the u. k. according to journalists, do some per archivist on member of the serbian parliament, milos, bonds, or the consequences for those involved with terrible i know good

consequence does add a u. j. a think that the bonding was simply unjustified. the dead for the use of the plant, the bloated uranium, and plus the bombs. what example was also unjustified, that the consequences at a better but although they have not yet been fully explored, especially when it comes to know you're a new m, as you imagine. so me, i can see with the continuous increase in the numbers oh, concepts in the number of malignant diseases that a search on that topic is being done. although it should we also said and undermine that. natalie? is this some of these in them? some with asian and that he says, simeon nuns, samuel serbia, today is the number one country in europe when it comes to the number of people suffering from cancer. and this is the clear consequences of the bombings with

depleted uranium. for hundreds of years, it will remain present in our water, air, and soil, by giving ukraine such weapons. they will pollute the territory of ukraine on which many depend for food don't. i simply cannot believe when i heard the information that great britain is offering ukraine weapons with depleted uranium. russia is not serbia, russia can and will respond in a completely different manner. it is just simply unbelievable that the west is trying to drag every one into destruction when they conduct their aggression towards the former yugoslavia they used forbidden weapons movie also expects to be reimbursed for the weapons is provided to care as the code as the polish prime minister who says the money will come from the you. we have issued invoices for 2000000000 euros, and this is very good news for poland. very good news for the polish budget, which i brought from the european council summit for this money. we can supply ourselves with state of the art equipment for will. so is one of the many supplies

of miniature, a to give polish leaders were also reporter instrumental in facility billings provide ukraine. we'd like to buffle times the japanese pledge to provide care of remove the 300 tanks from. it's also included both old and new model of all the buses. van recently stated that was so would have no choice, but to enter into direct conflicts with russia. ukraine fails to win on the battlefield. go policy research at george summary. he says germany, it will probably have to foot the bill for problems. we don't know yet whether poland will be reimbursed or how much boeing has been calling. the shots has been, you know, the loudest and the most belligerent on russia. but the bills have to be paid by germany, and that sort of poland knows this and what, which is why it's continually rating germany for not doing enough. it's the unfortunate pac with the devil that the nato signed,

when he greedily embraced the idea of nato expansion. great, we have all these new countries inside nato, and suddenly, all the noise and all the aggression, all the energy is coming from these new countries. why would poland assume that they're going to get a great deal from the americans? they're going to give the, give it to them either for free or, or the steep discount. that's not really how the united states operate. well, this week marks to decades, the iraqi people, since the us led forces invaded the country to impose regime change by force. and i'll see if continuous special coverage of the conflicts the through the oil rich country, the chaos and the stabilize the entire region for years. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from gray with

food medicine and fleeting with will it march 2003 bombs and missiles begun to strike baghdad. the ensuing evasion left behind a trail of destruction and an estimated 1000000 people dead. well, it's a correspondence de sweeney takes an in depth look at the u. s. that campaign that's unleashed on the rock we're here in baghdad, which 20 years ago was inflamed as the us and britain unlist it shocking or bombing campaign. what we have seen on television though, is indeed the 1st phase of a day. the campaign called shock and awe.

eye witnesses described what happened when missiles rained down on the iraqi capital, a march, 2003. while the attack was anticipated, locals will have traumatized by the sheer scale of the destruction. and it was very difficult for the country. and for all iraqis citizens on that day, a disaster struck my nephew was killed in the 1st strike on that goddamn day bush as a criminal. it was his fault. they are all criminals. they trampled on humanity. they hate people. this was to be expected of them. they came to destroy the country, not to protect the citizens of iraq. it was a curse time for all. iraqis were still feeling the consequences of this. the world has promised. the american soldiers would be welcomed with open arms. with flowers and with sweets, while a swift victory was guaranteed,

we are in the square where the americans tore down the statue of saddam hussein. but what many people don't realize is that he was just yards away in the streets behind me watching events unfold. bus loads of people were brought in to create the impression that it was ordinary iraqis, the tore down the statue. it was to create the narrative that the people who supported the us led invasion as a us struggled with heavy losses. private military contractors were brought in, but they too were involved in war crime to the atrocities against ordinary iraqi civilian. here in this whole square, one of the worst massacres took place at the hands of the notorious blackwater private military company. as they escorted a u. s. military convoy. the mercenaries. ow and fire killing 17 and wounding 20. relocated either the word blackwater for me as a journalist is associated with something terrifying. i saw people in complete disarray. for example. there was always arrested. any resident could be shot dead

on the street. this incident took place in the al cough area. there was a turmoil, some passes by were killed by blackwater, p. m. c. we went to this place only after the black water left by then black water was something terrible for us. this incident was not particularly disgust at the meetings by the government then for blackwater. personnel would charge in jail, but i would like to pardon by then, you have president donald from black or to maintain his name, but not the fact of it. under the name of how to me, it was it led to the involve in the fighting a fall. my 4th is ahead of the conflict in ukraine now as constant. it has a vested interest in liquid natural gas, which many phase the root cause was been described as nato, from the war. consensus was bought $1000000000.00 by investment company apollo group in 2016 and september 2020 apollo group entered a 5 and a half 1000000000 real estate investment partnership with the abbey, toby,

national oil company, one of the world's largest oil companies, and a major exporter of liquefied natural gas in december 2021 at note, was invited to enter a joint venture to create an oil and gas term, new in the ukranian pulse of odessa for transportation to western countries. the announcement came a month off, the chief executive of the ukrainian state energy company nafta. guess you are if a trend co told an abu dhabi energy conference, that he hopes the russian nurturing to pipeline into europe, which bypasses ukraine would not be approved. he said that ukraine stood to lose $2000000000.00 per year, about 1.5 percent of its g d p. if the russian pipe was operational, claiming that nor string to is actually putting the whole continent and global security at risk. one ex says, these organizations operate in a gray area, often outside the law, live to shift the black water case has not been solved. i think the americans are investigating the case, but insignificant information about the investigation. procedure and compensation

issues comes from different sources. i heard that some citizens receive compensation while others did. not all this is caused by the weakness of the government in protecting its citizens. we now know that the war was based on a lie. there were no w m days and saddam had nothing to do with $911.00. but the legacy for the invasion good. 20 years on the 1st with all for fire loss, he spoke with an iraqi military veteran and he claims that us claims that saddam hussein has weapons of mass destruction, iraq with fabricated to justify the invasion a subtle mother, so love role. i was wondering why they kept inspecting as people had forgotten everything, despite the plague of occupation, no one spoke about the issue of chemical weapons. moreover, all the results of those inspections you've heard of were placed in the close box under type protection. that could only be opened 60 years later though international law permits the declassification of an event 20 years later. this

demonstrates what a big, disgraceful, and immoral ally it all was. actually was a surprise, was it like all their inspections? they came at night and conducted a thorough, accurate inspection, and for the record, they realized there were no weapons. so when they inspected alpa car university, they knew it was useless because it only teaches economic strategy and other topics . they inspected all the research and private offices at our university, which has over 30 research courses on national defense in high management leadership and authority. research that defines policies and participates in the government's formation. if it wasn't for these wars and the invasion which began in 1990 in the blockade with its effects still lingering to this day, iraq would have been in a much better state than today. i wasn't an expert in that field, but i know that they inspected all the locations. it wasn't hidden, it was visible in the media of the inspection committees had specific schedules, entailing thousands of visits. they entered the republican palace,

the headquarters of the republican guard, the special guard, and the special security service, military departments, everything i'm certain and i can take responsibility for my words that they entered without any purpose because they knew that there was nothing to look for. what is albert car university had to do with weapons of mass destruction. the martyrs monument is a symbolic place, but they enjoy insulting the symbols of the people they invade. therefore, they inspected the monument and they later turned it into the headquarters of the u . s. battalion even the commanders club became the headquarters of u. s. battalion. back then you could see soldiers in uniform sitting proudly outside the club as if they were telling you we seized the club, humiliating the army commanders and sought out hashem. ahamed abdul al joaquin shannon meant a victory for them. dignified honorable people are always their target in order to crush them and achieve their own interests. well, whatever you've been up to this weekend, i hope you've had a good one. that's all for me, peter scott. but ortiz nick aaron will be here shortly. take you through this

week's biggest stories as we headed to be. it thanks very much for watching. ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah.
