because with the girl who's with the president of israel tells prime minister benjamin netanyahu to come to census of thousands of people say to the streets and protests of the government. judicial reforms also ahead and what is the us doing? the crating more and more new mil to reliance. this is the west that is building new axis major and to let him african accuses nato of aggressive global military expansion. denying that russia and chinese cooperation is aimed at all the states. also this hour. it was one of the worst atrocities of the us led invasion with eye

witnesses reporting, the indiscriminate shooting of women and children. we continue our special coverage of the legacy of the u. s. that invasion of iraq with a special report from felicia city poison was toxic residue for generations to comp . our correspondence speaks the residence that the occupation forces hit felicia with white phosphorus and uranium. and as a result, we have been suffering from birth defects and illnesses with july from our studio. here in moscow, you're watching artsy international. my name is peter scott's here with all the latest this monday afternoon. thanks for jordans. israel's president's house, called on the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu to come to his senses and scrap the controversial judicial reforms. the response huge protests across the country. ah,

we're in here. the class said right now, these railey government in the how much of the city of jerusalem, where many people, as you can see behind me have the other is for an antique government process. they're calling on the controversial today for recall. we have been expecting a nation in the last couple of hours, but it has been several times. it is clear,

benjamin isn't. yeah. we started taking a very delicate position from one hand if he announces the praising all the traditional reform, something that is so far we only have been hearing in the reports. there was no any official confirmation to that. so far. that would mean that the countries, the government will be in danger with from another baby doesn't do it theory that whole country will be paralyzed already. so now the countries may trample bend goody on was shut down with flies cancelled. how can i go with the digital recall is now seen weeks in a row, tens of thousands of people like a complaining their rights and

democracy i've been stolen from them. they have been walking the main highway road leading to the airport, burning higher and rolling. so security forces in flash and with their rock casualties from a day now the former defense minister of israel job go on member off front ministers and the code party. and one of the key figures in the country right, we walk express the concern regarding israel security, especially the fact that a military rang has been reading very fast. a growing number of high via reserves and pilots have many times present to give up their cost. if the government does not back off for almost changes, and this is very danger is given as fast as the moment they rarely policy and

conflict. and recently a very dramatic page. we know that since the beginning of this year is israel is, have been killed in major terror attack. include in united curriculum and at least $89.00 palestinians that died in most the military idea of rain, especially in the north. although why glass banks are very, very delicate creation, red job is a very dangerous moment. so my defense minister was calling on this and yahoo to interfere and to stop the reform. and he was fired. the very next day been to minutes and a half of the season under pressure again. several ministers in the right wing law including very influential political seger right now here in israel, israel's national security minister band, they are called on attend yahoo sec galvan and this is roy prime minister actually did trophy. * to visitor stays in the 10s of thousands of people have taken to the

streets again in tennis and to government protest. major protest happens in helen even here in jerusalem and friends of from medicine residence. there were a gang flashes with police. so off we have no information on castle chase, but we know that there has been that number all arrests already showed the off to the decision to fire defense minister of the country and the k. or is that a rob? following? there's a several members of the correlation made. i read it back a clear indication that a minute then yeah, with

the u. s. has already reacted development here in israel, calling them alarm in this rally media that has been closed with recurring sooner than yeah. the country national security warning that israel is moving the board a

plane or in the country with israel, with no rail, a golden tab facing bill, which is already now a, another thing, anger a, a, according to political analyst, honey, all must be the prime minister. doesn't want to stop moving forward with his funds, but postpone them. he don't want

a plan. he only want to work on it. accept that and know many of the opposition as cold as a government complete the lapse. this government ran for election over this. there was a position, a position want, especially last was shows that the government will lose the next election. so it is not, not easy, but also this problem, it with a very important and critical time. each time that he can compromise about this crisis before he is late, but he led because he is not like the whole is about now when you want to know

about a brush up from many different directions with the let him as a decisions ah, russia and china on not creating a military alliance, and i've nothing to hide in the military corporation while the west builds a new access. well, that's at least is according to the russian president vladimir putin. and he's like his interview after the meeting with the chinese con spots shooting thing in moscow . the good lucy says to reached this. we're not creating any military alliance. it is true that we have some military cooperation, but it is all transparent. there are no secrets there are conducting joined mil to retrieval to, but it is not a military alliance. and what is the us doing that creating more and more new mil to re alliances. it is the west that is building new axis look, last year, nato agreed. a new strategic concept for its development. 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 fascist regime in

germany and italy and the militaristic, japan vladimir putin. in that very same interview said that russia was going to put tactical nuclear weapons in bel roofs. the russian president said that this was a response to a move by london that he called absolutely reckless. it's decision to supply ukraine with uranium, depleted munitions, now put in also emphasized to everyone that these are nuclear weapons in question will remain under russian control machine beacon to slave 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 beginning on the 3rd of april, we'll start to train crews, and on the 1st of july, we'll finish the construction of a storage facility, specifically for tactical nuclear weapons on both russian territory who will not hanging over the weapons to billers just as the u. s. doesn't to its allies, we're simply doing what they have been doing for decades. now in terms of the west 3 action to this development, it hasn't been all the same. the european union responded quite aggressively,

actually it threatened sanctions if bela roost went through with hosting these nuclear russian weapons. but on the other hand, the united states actually took a more cautious approach. surprisingly enough, it said that this move by russia does not change us posture at all. we have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture, nor any indications. russia as preparing to use a nuclear weapon. we remain committed to the collective defense of the nato alliance. both leaders, of course, signed over a dozen documents, deepening defense, industrial and economic cooperation between the 2 countries. moscow in beijing have said they want to deepen their strategic partnership, make it even even more all encompassing than it was before for a new era. and this is something that obviously is quite frightening for washington and secretary of state antony blank and set himself it's a great concern for washington and the united states that this strategic cooperation is increasing between mock moscow and beijing. on the other hand,

wootton is of course more than happy to have a friend like choosing ping right now. so you had a piece kick unlimited gift in europe's economic dependence and chinese and cruising at a much higher rate than russia's trade between europe and chinese. drawing at a very high rate is the other way around so they should really think about themselves. for decades, there's always been some one who wanted to turn china against the soviet union or vice versa. we know what kind of world we live in. we value our relations and the level that we have reached in recent years. so with russia and china growing closer than ever before, washington is going to be in for a hard time if it tries to continue this business as usual, foreign policy over to africa. now, where the democratic republic of congo has agreed to retain the east africa community regional force. and that's a multi national ami deployed in the east of the country to combat the m 23 minutes and rebel group. the joint forces led by kenya have measure bases in the city of goma, the area where several east african nations,

including burundi and bewanda of weeks of traits, operational zones, decision to prolong the mission comes after criticism by many in the dc office and effectiveness in sucking the violence, they said either an african union delegation, visited the diaz to try to resolve the conflict in the region of correspondence as more a delegation from the african union peace since security council has visited to god my in the eastern d r c to try and clear information on the security situation in that part of the country. and as of course, following the resurgence of the m 2030 at a 1000000000 lea delegation visited the can yahoo, senior camp, north of gama, which has more than a 100000 households of internally displaced people will flip, did the atrocities off the m. 2030 enables in the territory of material near our congo and a musty sea now pruned in ambassador willie in. yeah. military who leads the

african union peace and security delegation has told many journalists that to the crisis in the d. r. c must end in order for lasting peace to return to the country . further expressing compassion before the suffering of displaced persons fit to force god, one little warrior is suffering when you see it from afar. we don't know how to measure the impact it has on the population. population that cannot develop was country that also cannot develop incorporate effort, whereas this nation is one of the richest in the world. but it's wealth benefits others and nodded citizens. because beyond feeding all of africa and the world, it's wealthy also feeds for selfish appetites of those who come to instigate war and is to provide some context. i think it's important to know to their, to the origins of the current violence in the d. r. c. dates back to the mid ninety's, one of the most prominent rebel groups to emerge in the aftermath of the congo was,

was known as the m 23. and it was made up of primarily our ethnic to tease who were allegedly supported by their one didn't government. and following the genocide in, bordering for wonder the data. see for to the 1st to conquer wall, what did have one of the displaced people expressing their wish to return to their original homes, further adding that to the suffering that they have endured? it is too much, i wonder, worked, and that what's happening here is catastrophic. loss if it is not to be hidden, but i speak in front of you, the congolese and all the countries of africans it got, we are suffering which was and seeking a solution. so we can find lasting piece. somebody. if we look at the old days or for our parents and grandparents did not leave like this to know, but we wonder what we have damaged to under god. if also seen the civil society of north key val welcoming this visit, which will bring a solution to the crisis to try and allow the displaced people to return to the

villages. it is, however, expected that the african union visit to wool guide its future decisions following the crisis in the east, in a visit to killer, it was a visit that was worth its weight in gold. all the more. so the african union is a great organization to which the d r. c. balloons, and whose primer objectives remain to promote peace and security throughout africa . it is a very important visit that we have been waiting for it to mean all the president of the civil society offered to john colton by bonnie has voice to his thoughts are saying that the, the whole of the african continent can now see the misery that he's people a suffering by these displaced people, the little duck homer. this commission, the counsel of peace and security, will make it possible for sanctions against countries are taken us. and moreover, we believe that it will make decisions which will allow us displaced people to

return to our homes in a short time, you'll remember. and amid the various talks howled in time to bring peace and stability to the d. r. c mini a. hopeful that to the upcoming elections this year may also be a sign of some positive change for the country. what we are seeing currently is that the african union, as it is, it has a man with a task ahead of his sulphur to try and saw that hope does become a reality. lillia we spoke with a journalist and geopolitical unless ignacio by he's a. he said that east african community regional force came to broken negotiations between the fighting groups. you can see the african community force has one re managed tour by the us with drawing from the so, of course helps to induce fighting because in pretty 3 seasons. if we

always force a to, to keep fighting. ok, so the stuff in force can you to created buffers. one between variables and the government forces, but also to make sure that the create some simple is or piece and, you know, make it a, the fight if i to loops to lexi. this is player so that i think she from spending place gripped by a paralyzing economic crisis on political deadlock, lebanon continues to face this worst crisis in recent years. of people are taken to the streets to protest against a serious financial down sun. by m. f has stated that the country will be unable to overcome hyperinflation unless it's introduces serious reforms. ah,

lebanon, is it a dangerous crossroads? and without rapid reforms, will be mired in a neverending crisis. poverty and unemployment will remain high and economic potential will continue to decline with the lebanese lira losing an astounding 98 percent of its value since 2019. the population has been less struggling with massive inflation. that's fueled by huge dollar deaths accumulated after its brutal 15 year civil war, along with the transfer home of dollars by lebanese living abroad. when you add in

what critics call persistent political incompetence, you've got a perfect storm which leaves the ordinary lebanese, facing almost medieval levels of hunger and deprivation. while i'm at alley dear, i went through a lot the days of shelling, kellen and shooting all of them up by today's and now this is the real war. the war of hunger when your eyes desires something, and he cannot get it even a bundle of bread. i lived in the days of the flood and revolution and it was not as difficult as now a little. we are in a difficult situation among the dull and the high exchange rate crate instability. we're facing a very big problem when we sleep. the action rate is at certain level on the base if which was said the price of goods. and when we wake up in the morning, we see that we have lost money. we'll try to stand by the people, it's food out. so, and people will not stop isn't. today's struggle is compounded by the dollarization of the lebanese economy, which feed to continue in collapse of the local currency with purchasing pair of

residents being eroded almost daily. we cannot change the prices of 38000 products daily in supermarkets, with every change in the u. s. dollar price. people will be able to pay specific amount in years dollars, instead of witnessing daily changes in prices set in lebanese pounds. so where did it all go wrong for lebanon? well, it's a complex mix of political mismanagement over borrowing. and of course, geopolitical pressure. the war in iraq, which left a trail of destruction and millions killed and displaced passes his 20th anniversary and nazis continued its special coverage of the conflicts through the orange country into chaos and destabilize the 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 great. a

with and fleet with of felicia is one of the iraqi cities that paid the highest price for the us led invasion 20 years ago. the local say in some of the most brits a war crimes were committed in the area. american troops admitted to the use of white phosphorus as a weapon. they've had to talk to the legacy of war for future generations as well as the environments he spoke with. witnesses of the fighting. i, the victims included children, women and men were buried in different places,

were buried entire families. a family of 4 members was killed and buried opposite the door there. knowing their daughter went to their relatives in bagdad survived. the digger was ceaselessly working in all the areas behind me to bury the victims. while other people were setting the graves of aliamanu jettas over, i came here to day to visit my brother, a martyr in the cemetery, which holds the gray, sold to martyrs who were killed by the us occupation since 2006. they were all playing with a ball near the mosque when an explosion happened. and all those who march had in fallujah were burried in this improvised cemetery. that was a football peach before sure. they'll just look around all these areas which were once football peaches and, and have now turned into grapes. my wife, a rain of fire fell on the city. well, that's her residence or flu, to describe the us attack on the region, the battles that so place in 2004 led to dramatic increases in infant mortality as

well as cases of cancer leukemia and serious birth defects. the rise and serious illnesses exceeded similar numbers after the atomic bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki. lottie correspondence eve sweeney reports from the scene where the devastation unfolded. it was just the mass killing of arabs. that's how the u. s. massacre. evolution has been described. the city it been relatively untouched by the war, the old bombing aside. all that chain went for us mercy were killed on this grid. their bodies were burned and hung as a warning to others. but washington promised to take its revenge. the enemy's gotta face his cold satan, his and felicia, and we're going to destroy him. it's his fault was one of the worst atrocities of the us led invasion with eye witnesses reporting, the indiscriminate shooting of women and children. washington was accused of war crimes. as the city was held under c, u. s. troops looted approximately $600.00 iraqi civilians,

including more than $300.00 women and children, along which he 100 insurgents during the 1st battle of felicia craig named operation. vigilant herself. the battle was launched and april 2004 to avenge the deaths of 4 black water contractors. 27 u. s. soldiers were killed during the retaliatory siege. felicia was effectively punished for resisting the u. s. occupation with as many as 50000 people held their men 8 between 15 and 45 were brought from leaving while medical support was unable to enter the city with either la la la fan with lava the vents took place at the beginning of the occupation in 2003, especially in the city of fallujah. as resistance fighters were there, they considered their occupiers policy as a violation to the dignity of iraqis and the seizure of iraq's territory. the occupation forces committed crimes against innocent civilians. they killed destroyed homes and people were left homeless and that the resistance appeared

because of attacks committed by the americans against the civilian population. as a result, the population was caught between a rock and a hard place of american forces and the resistance. washington covered up the extent of its crimes. blocking reporters from reporting what took place head it finally admitted to using white phosphorus. a substance similar to napalm which burns skin to the bone is legacy of using depleted uranium continues to effect those born after 2003. perhaps. unsurprisingly, washington on its allies, have blocked efforts to and the use of depleted uranium in warfare and have denied a link to kansas and birth effects. but evidence is not on their side. they 2010 study by leading medical journal, found it for lou to show to 4 fold increase in all cancers, and a 12 fold increase in childhood cancer in under fourteen's. it found a tenfold increase in female breast cancer and significant increases in lymphoma

and brain tumors in adults. research has found a 38 fold increase into kaymere. this exceeded the figures for her rossimer, where survivors of the atom bomb attack showed a 17 fold increase, indicates via medics on the ground agree. but they were reluctant to appear on camera saying they were under pressure from the us not to speak out. it's no surprise that western powers want to deny the causal link to do so, i would leave them open to war crimes charges. but once again, they continue to avoid accountability as a rockies live with the legacy of the wall. well, where the city under fire and left without power and water for days. archie spoke with some orac is he fought against us forces who responded with overwhelming force but i'll go a little as well. we fought was light and medium weapons. the us forces used white phosphorus, as well as internationally, band weapons,

in agreement with the mayor of illusion. the football stadium was turned into a cemetery for our martyrs who were in great numbers. the city lost many of its residence, but the us forces failed to break into it. the 1st part of the improvised cemetery was dedicated to the scholars, while the 2nd one served as the grand cemetery, which initially had 4000 bodies, then the number rose to more than 7000. i mean was the most significant violations perpetrated by the us occupation forces were bombarding with white phosphorus, lack of compensation for those affected and raids without warning. someone a rate occurred in their faces, broke into the house that we had to gather all the family in one room. this practice is a violation back then. the occupation forces hit felicia with white phosphorus and uranium. and as a result, we have been suffering from birth defects and illnesses. the city is still paying

the price as our main hospital is still treating. birth defects to date will also you will continue its coverage of the grim legacy, the u. s. left in iraq. after 2003 invasion was that 2 decades of turmoil in the country. well, if the latest from around the world, my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again the top of the hour with another rundown, but do head over to r t dot com. if you can't wait that long the oh ah, hello, i'm manila chan you are tuned into modus operandi. the us, russia, north china, the world's biggest super.
