local authorities say 3 people were wounded in the instant after a long loud explosion was heard in the area. ah, the explosion took place in the middle of the afternoon. and some people became aware of this because there their building's were shaken, their go windows were shattered. now this happened after a technical recognizance u. a. v crashed and it was also our loaded, weird munition. as we now know from a 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 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 series 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, it's not the 1st time that we've seen ukrainian rose enter russians 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 managed to enter and cross russian territory. make sure that this doesn't happen again. russia will station aid tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring belive roots in response to the deployment to the american nukes in europe. nato has condemned the move,

which was announced by president vladimir putin on saturday. with us miss, i saw the bush breath hung president lucas shinkel was right. when he says that bella roost is our closest allies, as americans placed their tactical nuclear weapons on their allies, territory, and train 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 assisted our bella, russian, colleagues in refitting their planes. 10 planes are ready to carry such weapons. we have already sent our well known and efficient iskander systems, which can also 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 beller russian territory. we will not hand over the weapons to bela rooms, just as the us doesn't to wits allies. we are simply doing what they have been

doing for decades of g. a foreign policy chief. yes, the barrel has warned bella ruth, against how thing russian nuclear facilities branding. and these are threats to europe. bella ruse, hosting russian nuclear weapons would mean and irresponsible escalation and threat to european security and the roof can still stop it. it is their choice. the u stands ready to respond with further sanctions, anglo saxon, or the goal noon. we don't have any goals nowadays. still ways to control the way that the world works well. you is undoubtedly at the moment under the anglo saxons under the u. k. america, with or without breakfast, because that's almost relevant because the worst nightmare for britain in america would be you. that was reasonably independent because then it would make moves towards moscow. and this is one thing bedeviled at the moment,

essentially by the us with winning butler, britain, which i have to say for some strange reason has had this. i'm to most your paranoia, my speakers historian suits, at least 79 to speaking to russian media. if may take note of address for the west precedes is as a threat from a military alliance between russia and china. that was of shoes issue. but isn't that a car? the west has wrecked very painfully and extremely emotional to person, sees visit to rush and it's helicopter. they said that most couldn't be gina crayton and you axis and pulse a threat to the west. is it true to threads up with? was gazillion says there you, she wish you said creating an axis. you use the western cliche and this indicates how they are successfully putting their cliches, even into the heads of those who probably do not share their position you. this is

the best evidence that they are good at it, but this doesn't corresponds to reality at all because we are not creating any military alliance. it is true that we have some military cooperation, but it is all transparent. there are no secrets there were conducting joint military drills too, but it is not a military alliance. and what is the us doing there creating more and more new military alliances. it is the west that is building new axis you look last year with nato agreed, a new strategic concept for its developmental plan. and it says explicitly, nato is going to develop cooperation with countries in the asia pacific region. i was there announcing that they're going to create a new global nato, and the u. k. has signed the contract on mutual openness with japan. western analysts are saying that the west is building a new axis, similar to the one that was created in the 19th thirty's,

by the fastest regimes in germany, and literally an militaristic japan immunity scheme. that may have hurt and has also said that western powers try to disrupt negotiations with his chinese counterparts. that was in response to a poor was that a 1000000 a 1000000 artillery shells will be sent to ukraine by its allies in the u. as information was revealed, the same day period in house did chinese president champagne in moscow where the 2 leaders discussed paging piece plan for the ukraine conflict and more. this debt will 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 a day 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 today,

as the chinese leader came out and said that not only was china happy about the record trade, that in our joys with russia at a 190000000000 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, jim being 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 the various areas where they would work together, build on those relations, and they're pretty much everything. their culture. there are 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 games to ammonia 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 west and keys 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. china and honduras have established diplomatic ties after the latin american nation ended as decades long relations with taiwan. and juris is an important country in central america. the government of honduras chooses to stand with 100 and

a to one countries in the world, recognise and undertake to adhere that to the wan. china principal severe the so called diplomatic relations with taiwan, establish diplomatic relations with the people's republic of china, and undertake that had years 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 he severing of time came after the honduran foreign minister visited beijing. the minister went on to state that his nation recognizes taiwan as an inseparable passive chinese territory in beijing is the only thing that governments, the loss of relations. these taiwan with formal diplomatic ties have been e, 13 states across the globe. ty pay has accused the central american country of having been lowered by china with promises of financial investments and has expressed his disappointment by joan boyer and go pitching boundary. taiwan ministry of foreign affairs would like to warn beijing that its attempts to lure

our diplomatic allies was false promises in order to squeeze our diplomatic space, has seriously harmed the feelings of the taiwanese people and sped up the divergence of cross street relations. wilson dorita cordial, joseph gregory mahoney from east at china, normal university say san duress is starting to see begging as a reliable partner, which offers more economic and diplomatic potential than taiwan. did. 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 for losses and opportunity related to aid, trade development and diplomatic support. and you know, if i go to gal, 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 taipei beijing 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 is hedging now by improving ties with aging, but relatively quietly. more about washington's efforts to exert its influence on deer, as by pressuring the central american nation to all towns of establishing ties with china, checkouts on website t stop. and the ukranian capital, the key of a chest glove for has held well could be its last sunday service. under his current leadership, the government is owed at the ancient orthodox kristian monastery to be a victim by wednesday. unless did agree to join the break away. kias fact,

church his want, some locals have to say about the situation. yes. to load abuse and if there are no more services at the lab, rats, will you come here to me? no, i will not. it least in civic danya, alicia, you know, it's very hard to answer this question, but i thought something like this would happen when it was in. i don't understand where our patients ask, which orthodoxy calls us. tell you, could you block groups if there are no more services at the lab? rat, will you come here to law? of course not that i am senior bella. oh, there were no ukrainians or russians before, should pres him always existed. we live there have been churches, you, catholics, you call to censor and all the concussions. you see, no one was disturbing. anyone who are you doing you dog? i've correction of gathered at the monastery for sunday's prayers here. security forces moved in to take the site on the tight control offices allowed civilians to enter the facility, only all their documents had been checked here once the laugh were to submit to the government over alleged links to moscow,

which the monasteries officials have denied. meanwhile, the un human rights office is weighed in releasing a downing report. this slammed the ukrainian government's actions as discriminatory the o h. c h. r. documented search is conducted by the as b u. s. security measures. in several monasteries, officers, educational facilities and other property of the ukrainian orthodox church, u o. c. d o h c h r is concerned that official actions targeting the u. o. c could be discriminatory in some cases. as b. u officers. question several clergymen with the use of what polygraph the as be you confirmed that at least 3 notices of suspicion were issued to you. o. c, clergy. ok. francis is also expressed his support for the religious members of the key of monastery. after moscow's patriarch cornell drew attention to the issue. the pope say is the fighting between ukrainian and russian forces it should not affect religious sites. in craning, authorities have repeatedly raided churches across the country on allegations that

is clergy members had pro russians sympathies, ukraine's president lensky has approved the crank down thing. the country needs to have spiritual independence from russia. russian orthodox church official vladimir mcgloid essay. he of treatment of monks is a violation of human rights. great in authorities might think that they benefit by prosecuting ukrainian orthodox church, but in long terms, it, they'll bring careless and terrible things in ukraine. if there's a threat today over ukrainian people. it is a tragedy of ukrainian authorities, and i think it's a big political mistake making by ukrainian authorities. it doesn't bring any attention of and it international law organizations and political organizations or human rights organizations. despite the fact that russian orthodox church addressed those organizations many times and petra curial addressed to political leaders,

international organizational leaders. she has addressed them recently about the situation with a kiva cave on lava. but there was no result and no response. and it is absurd because people are arrested and because of having, i'm like congressional levers from a russian higher rex, it's nothing but it is considered to be a crime in contemporary democratic ukraine. it is a very said and terrible fact. and it is a violation of human rights definitely, absolutely. meanwhile, another religion is under fire, as our countries on turkey have strongly condemned the latest burning of a koran on turkish flag by anti islamic activists in denmark. burning a holy koran is an act of hates and a manifestation of islam of phobia that incites violence and insults, religions, and cannot be considered a form of freedom of expression. as all this act which was carried out in ramadan has once again clearly revealed that a slumber phobia discrimination ends in

a phobia have reached an alarming level in europe. and that no lessons have been learned from the past. numbers on the anti muslim patriot turn, a gar group burned a turkish flag and a copy of the koran in front of the turkish embassy and copenhagen on friday to waits for a minister, has issued a statement, warning, the such incidents risk inciting violence around the world. turkey is foreign ministry also responded urging the danish government to take action against those responsible. and this is not the 1st time that a koran has been burnt in a european country and almost identical incident happened in sweden where politician, rasmus pollute and burned the koran in front of the turkish embassy in stock home. while the police protection ability of this month, ukrainian soldiers also set fire to the muslim holy book, receiving serious condemnation across the globe journalist on geopolitical analysts . document al abraham has denounced these incidents. it is really sad to see these kind of people still exist in this modern world,

especially in the west. we've been probably facing best for the past decade and we were rated to the countries, denmark, sweden, ukraine, the u. s. the united kingdom. but unfortunately, the mindset over the western countries is so focused about that when, when something is their issue, it is the world issue. when it's something, it's our issues, they don't really listen or they don't really care. our support you crane by actually giving the soldiers going and burning their holly book and actually put poor camille on the top of the book. this is really a heinous attack. we are the founders of the interface dialogue, religion. on the contrary, where the west, they think that they just can, you know, attack other people's morals believe and all these kinds of things. so i urge these governments actually to take a hard step, basically educate people in africa,

the 1st of 2300 megawatts, coal power generated as up and running in zimbabwe. the projects, the majority of which has been funded by china and to tackle electricity shortages, which you put a damper on the nation's economic growth. local report, the keys box springs, the details. the barber this week added the 300 megawatts to it's national grid. after a new coal fired power built by the chinese was brought on line back to i refuse or attorney spans ready piece of engineer. the struggle to keep lights on has been a major challenge for the southern african nation for years now. it has left some residential areas experiencing blackouts for up to 18 hours a day. my gets out of the traffic to we owe those whom have been extremely affected by the power cuts because we sell perishable products like meat,

it must remain cold. but the problem is that the electricity usually turns on around 11 p. m. and before we open, it's already cut off. during the day we have to use generators. but as you can see, the display fridge where we store made his and colton. i richer. i me, miller, i'm a miller. and my only problem is the absence of electricity. we only get electricity and night and no one is going to do business with us of such hours. electricity from who on will really be a game changer for businesses like mine. experts say limited investment in the energy sector is due to the countries unfavorable debt profile, climate change related factors in and viable terrorists have made the situation worse when you get about 12 hours, 12 to 19 hours of lead shedding. and that really affects your shift that really affects your production. so you get your costs of doing business going up, because now you have to look for tentative power. and in zimbabwe, i think,

generators that the most used and they cost money because in a diesel to, to par them out. the financing and construction of the, your units of the wine get past station as brought into sharp focus. china's intentions, not just to build power plants, but also ties with zimbabwe in the so finally pulling the plug on the black out of the path. keep baptist 40 in hot audi zimbabwe, damascus, and ron have condemned us attack on syrian territory on friday, which reportedly killed 900 people. and this on verifying food, you can see a blaze following a us attack on a rainy and revolutionary dawn. facilities in eastern syria, movies be labeled as brutal by both damascus answer wrong with the former, claiming it amounts to a violation of its territorial integrity. washington is so they conducted the attack in response to a drone strike. they killed an american contractor earlier this week. while the u.

s. continues it strikes on syria throng. seems to be taking a different approach, inviting damascus to take part in. it's our plan. she can nomic summers which kicked off empowering early this month. a representative from the theory and chamber of commerce praise the move as a turning point in relations. the events aims to strengthen cooperation between france on the world. this event, which has been organized for the 4th time, is an opportunity to conduct an assessment of the comic and trade relations between the countries in france and to explore ways and means of strengthening their relationship, especially between the private sectors. so that is based on the win win foundations for both parties. conflict and syria has been ongoing since 2011 with several militant groups and countries taking part in the fighting as well as presidential administration is being confronted by a variety of opposition forces, mainly by, by the west political analysts. talib, abraham explains that what could be behind france's attempts to establish contact

with syria. i think that go behind, behind the french re contact with what i mean. i, i think that leave and on, as you know, there is a kind of agreement between the agreement. we had agreed in back only been on a positive impact on us to the baby out an agreement that will arrange everything like that. the government, the government set that up and even on had as important school from for the french policy in the middle east. and indeed, that gave for the rest of the whole movies. so this one in another is related to an energy methodist. and i think the process is a trying to find a way to reach the grid with sources of syria guys on board. and that is that part of that and understood now that syria,

we come again to out of the as the sanctions and you know, we need to nothing. and the best way is to open diana with it and got what i mean. and i think that is a really good idea. that's a wise idea because they will be, can do a lot of things of that war. and about the latest on days you can check our website, r t dot com. thanks for choosing international. ah ah mm hm. mm

in hello, and welcome to was apart. great powers have always watched each other with a change of jealousy and has still it. is it inevitable with tennis? recent diplomacy? breaking a number of long how geopolitical assumptions? here are people to wait for a world where great means not only might is right, but also responsibility that comes with power. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by tell me my, in just former ambassador to saudi arabia. ambassador, it's a great pleasure, a great honor for me to talk to you. thank you very much for time. are you ready for the did? you know, whenever i interview prominent indian thinkers on china, i always feel myself a part of a lot, a triangle because china and india so big and so close to geographically that i guess it's impossible for them to be.
