[000:00:00;00] a a, there is a grenade attached to this unmanned aerial vehicle. and right now, this strong head towards the positions of ukrainian and military correspondence remaining embedded on the dawn bass frontline, following an international volunteer brigade is that utilize drones in that fight for the key town of our day of cap. also ahead in this program on ot see international. why do you keep rad? we've got a proxy war with russia, mr. to go through it. oh, you said you've got more than $2000000000.00 in when vital privacy war. but yeah, here we here on out. you international from that john list to challenge, to kind of as prime minister with those or should we say,

brother sensitive question. just providing intelligence, you great military, you have canadian special forces on the ground. you have a former many former canadian soldiers that have been killed and that are fighting iran and russia sharing the outlook on un sanctions. the ukrainian conflict, and a comprehensive strategic partnership between the 2 countries and the e. u. laughters out of fafsa for suspending. the state broadcast of france 24. that's offered an interview with a reputed al qaeda leader. the cold stand up for rule among france. 24 cleans freedom of speech, but you cannot talk about freedom of speech, freedom of expression. when you talk about terrorism, they can be unhappy all they want, but it is our country and our country is fighting terrorism. so the decision is just with, well,

it's good to have you with us for this to our live broadcast from moscow with are as always, to have your company. now, the head of the script public says that advancing russian troops had been in circling ukrainian forces though this in the key town of, of d f car right here on the map. now the question is, why is this important? rational authorities say that capturing this area would cut off a strategic firing position. the key of forces have been using to attack what are densely populated, civilian areas. now for the past 9 years. now, this town of diego right here. it's about 20 kilometers. also from the regional capital of don. yes. and once captured, it could perhaps insure security for the people of that region. now a correspond room and culture f has been observing how the battle for again, because well,

should we say been tweaked with the use of drone wolf at ah, international brigade that nash guy is just one of many groups who are working towards liberation of the town off of dave, go just outside of dentist. now since the start of the special military operation, we've seen the rise offer use of these drones now this, this man, he is a drone operator and as you can see there is a grenade attached to a vista unmanned aerial vehicle. and a right now, this drawn booth head towards the positions offer ukrainian and military. and we will see exactly what is happening. she's right now going to start the drawing and i take it towards ukrainian militants.

ah, the shirt mccoy says, just procedure, the if case. now portland circle, now we're working to strengthen our positions to provide visual control from both sides in order to introduce internal rotations. so far they have stable supplies, but that will soon seize as we gain further control of the roads. so let's explain to people who mercenary saw their generally people with combat experience who usually take part in assaults. the defense of war is followed by ukrainians themselves. when it comes to a day of car, the 110th brigade, there, ukrainians, armed with foreign weapons, things have reached a point where we understand that the and line of defense is foreigners. the weapons they have are without labels. there is not a single word in either russian or you, queen, you know them. we have reached a point that when we hit the target,

they will take off the port on a broken house and place a civilian there. and we'll frame things in a way where them water is not visible. so we're presenting a footage where there is a mood, but also private houses and people in civilian clothes, in one case, 3 more to cruise more found based in areas that seem to be residential. we so this land with our blood and sweat, these buildings will all be rebuilt. we give you the footage so that people understand why houses are being destroyed. we are returning from the outskirts of of day if guy after yet another successful mission. by push stone, he works almost every single day and goes to the front line in order to bring the victory closer to roman cauthrin, rti, the next republican bar to a candidate. now where the prime minister just intruder. well, he, um, he dodged a question from a local journalist who was off and asking him why candler was engaged in a proxy war against russia that says, canada has now sent more than

a $1000000000.00 worth of military assistance to ukraine over the past year. and i, mr judith. 2 mr. jude oh, why do you keep wrapping up the proxy war? why do you keep wrapping up the proxy war with russia as did you go, mr. drew? oh, you said you said more than $2000000000.00 in when services. why did they don't roxy war by? oh, and the data you argue on eve angler, the canadian journalist who was posing those questions, the prime minister says the country has substantially contributed to bolstering key ebs war effort. live was the mojo paper, did a calculation tabulated that canada had sent $2260000000.00, canadian dollars in weapons already. and actually since then there's been a number of announcements. so i trust the newspaper more than i trust the government itself. so i think it's probably almost certainly over $2000000.00 and, and maybe more, but that's only

a small part of it. i'm in canada's providing intelligence to ukraine. military. you have canadian special forces on the ground. you have a former many former clean soldiers that have been killed and that are fighting the canadian government has, has greatly contributed to the, to the proxy war as well as helping provoke the conflict. no more than a year ago. in politicians. you know, it's remarkable. i mean, somebody, even if somebody who's a strong supporter, what can be doing in ukraine should at least want a debate about it. but the media deduct mainstream journalists, they don't even ask the questions. there's not really any, any debate. it's just assumed that what canada is doing is good and the question is, should we do even more? not whether we helped it over throwing any coverage in 2014, not whether we undermine the midst to piece according to our operation. unifier training mission. not whether we should have, you know,

opposed us moves to put more and more nuclear weapons in eastern europe. and it's just to sort of assume that, you know, russia is all bad and our side is all good. and we didn't need to keep, you know, kennedy, foreign minister didn't need to go to keys in, in january, didn't need to go there and push for nato expansion. that was absolutely unnecessary. did you and other things we did to sort of stop the conflict. if you don't know any of that, then you think the can is just, you know, putting money into a good cause. if you look at any foreign policy and i looked at the foreign policy all around the world, canada is very closely aligned with washington. the canadian arms industry is completely integrated with the us arms industry. arms companies always like more wars and more possibilities to deliver weapons is good for the arms companies. candidates founding the u. s. britain and canada found in nato. for formally founding united, 49 cameras, long been

a very staunch pro neo force. and so candidates taking a very belligerent position, and there's very little cost, unlike germany or some of the central european countries, there's almost no cost for canada, right? of energy prices have gone up and the, the spillover cost is much, much less than in some of the other nato nato countries. so we had a big meeting a short time ago here in the russian capital. iran's foreign minister holding talks with his russian counterpart, right. here at moscow about plans for a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between the 2 countries and further regional cooperation. just to get her off added that washington bow at the end of the day needs to lift sanctions from iran. mutable producing was the world is still waiting for the us to resume its obligations in the iranian new killer deal and lift our sanctions imposed on iran with us. or i bring it in our t steeps. we need to take this conversation further. good to see you, steve,

or you and me were both watching this press are with the iranian foreign minister. and of course, his russian counterpart. they ran the gamut. all these different spheres of corporation and, but before we get that, i just want to say the fact that they're talking openly about iran, you know, joining brick saw joining the shanghai corporation organization. these are massive steps towards the multi polar world. but steve, i know there are other highlights as well that you, you saw them talking about what you know, what i think if you will come on sir. of course they covered an awful lot of ground in these are in the press conference and they started as we just heard saga level of talking about the lifting of sanctions on iran. now, of course, they were imposed by washington following the collapse of the joint comprehensive plan of action, otherwise known as the iran nuclear deal. this was after the trumpet, ministration, arbitrarily em scrapped it. and the of those talks have been going on in vienna. there's been not face to face, not direct talks, but talk to mediators before and, but they've been slow in progress and, and lever of,

and the iranian foreign minister both said that the situation must be her resolved . and of course her, unsurprisingly they spoke about the conflict in ukrainian, sir guy labrat said actually the west can end this conflict, but it continues to flood cave with more arms. he said that you are secretary of state antony, blinkin speaking last week, said he opposed to si fi because it would be in russia's interest. the iranian foreign minister also lambasted the west approach and he called a dialogue. this is what they said by through this is also discussing the situation in ukraine. we highlighted nato's undermining line of behavior that are with both feet, standing in the ukranian conflict and are being sucked deeper and deeper into it. honestly, i don't know if i can go any deeper. arab abyssal are the fact that the west to supply ukraine with weapons, in our opinion, only worse as the situation in ukraine. we need to solve it by diplomatic means. now, bozeman, that said that they supported initiatives for a peaceful resolution. they welcomed chinese. president sheeting,

ping's recent road map am but sag i love row said that this must be in any talk to negotiations. must be based on individual security. that is, that no country can strengthen it, security li, expensive others. now this is probably a reference to nato's her expansion to closer and closer towards russia. of course, a famously promised not one inch further butter. they've renee's on the liberal, said that this was enshrined in the un charter and international law. me mean? yeah, he said saying it, it's a principal, isn't it? this is enshrined than you at charter. this is part of international law. you're absolutely right steve. but you know, what got going back to that j. c p o, a, that this a nuclear energy agreement with iran that there was a dumped on the under trump. one of the questions from the press, steve, one of one at one of the members of the press said to lever off, why is america being so slow? with coming back to the negotiating table with iran and the j. c. p. o, a and laughter of said, you know, there are a lot of things,

washington dance that really nobody understands you be better off asking them. yeah, exactly, and of course the, the, what watching to will never have any answers in jesus shift the blame on to, on to others. but of course, you know, getting the nuclear deal back on track was one of the promises made by joe biden, when he was running for president. and, you know, of course, there's been very little progress made since then, but, you know, it's one of the key points i thought for from this, from this presser and i, and again, in a foreign ministers around the world, and not getting a day, any days off because laptop is constantly on the go, i mean, look at this, iran is going to join the shanghai cooperation organization, right? what we're talking russia, india, china, i mean, a number, excuse me, number of countries, mostly cook a caucus as countries too. but iran is also poised to join bricks, again that south africa, china, india, russia, brazil, and possibly 22 other candidates. somebody said i read a comment the other day. somebody said, united states cannot isolate the world, but the world can isolate the united states. i mean, steve,

we're seeing major steps being made towards this multi polar world right now. i think so many people are talking about cy, a seismic shift in international relations and, and, and global relations, away from the united states and away from the it's had gemini that it's a, impose on the globe for a very long time. now now we're seeing, as you've said around the foreign minister, said the $49.00 documents have been signed to join the shanghai cooperation organization at its next summit lay been ratified by at the uranium parliament. and of course, iran is, are looking towards jordy bricks. we've just heard, saudi arabia is also, and now she's heading towards a shy, should make waves and as i should, so because, you know, one of washington's biggest allies in the region, this is a hugely significant. and again, we're, we're, we can look towards the belt and road initiative, this so called new silk road where your trade is going to be carried out. this is chinese initiative. of course i where trade is going to be carried out in local

currency. so this, this shift away from a dollar and of course a shift away from the daughter as well. currency means that the u. s. loses its ability to manipulate and control well market. so this is me and we shouldn't know underestimate the significance of this huge import. i think you're absolutely right even. and i was reading an article just the other day people saying when it, when it comes to, for example, the global south, let's say as seo asked c n, the bricks as well. and these guys, you know, when they, when it comes to how much they have control of the energy sector. it worlds labor forces, geo, strategic ports as well. and people are saying that if you actually want to put the g 7 up against the global south, it's just a matter of time. the g 7 will be overpowered. and that's another story, steve, you, me, we'll be talking about in the very near future artes, steve sweeney. it's always good to see you. thank you. so a former regional leader of taiwan is in mainland china on a 12 day visit. he says,

people on both sides of the taiwan strait are chinese and cold for peace in the region. some reason to hold the 2 sides of the strait will walk together to pursue peace, avoid conflict, and review till ice china. this is the necessary responsibility of the chinese people and both sides of the straight work hard to achieve it. with my view has i made history as the 1st former or sitting regional leader of taiwan to visit the mainland since the end of the chinese civil war. 7 decades ago, during his leadership from 2008 to 2016, the 2 sides. so one of the warmest periods in their relations on, on the visit though, i can do a paid respects to the ancestors grave sites and is also scheduled to visit several cities and universities. while meanwhile, western media outlets have been portraying beijing as an aggressor and a major threat for the island of taiwan, adding to instability in the region. the situation is already tense, as us officials have continued to supplied taiwan with weapons and paid business

that despite adam and opposition from beijing and the senior fellow at the ty, hey ty, her institute, i should say in the founder and chairman of the china cities bluebook consulting i got a tangle says that ignorance of american politicians could play into a warmer ties between the citizens of china and taiwan. have listen to this very significant that he's going to the graves of his ancestors. to show, once again that taiwan and china are inextricably linked by culture and by ancestry . the differences are official. if they were treated politically. when chiang kai shek fled to the island and set up a government there, they were supported by the u. s. i think there was a strong feeling for many years that both sides were trainees. they just had little differences. that was that early years today, mainland visitors going to taiwan or just a sophisticated those that high when he sells. but i think this is something they

can recover from, and i think taiwan, you know, the people that are looking at what happens in the us to talk thing. you know, when you start looking at american politicians and the kind of ignorance that they displayed there, you know, they're kind of an anti asian attitudes. i think this will also play into, i mean, you don't want to be aligned with somebody who basically doesn't like you or is, you know, it's hard and you, with the same idea that if you, if you look asian, you somehow must be a spy. good to have your company today. the you has lashed out with a west african nation of fossil for suspending the state bruce cost of france. 24 officer in an interview with a reputed leader of our local reporter was on the we all in, but in a fast. so explain the decision was taken by the will he be government up to

$0.80 broke out by the trade chin in discussing the interview with the leader of high that last african division. the government justify the decision by the part that the organization easily relies worldwide as, as a result that we cannot make government accuse the price $24.00 of acting as they must be foretell race for by gander. france $24.00 is not only acting as a mouthpiece for these terrorists, but worse, it is providing a space for the legitimate zation of terrorist actions and hate speech. right? then all these allegation, a wager and different. however, in what god do, people support the decision which they believe was taken for the safety of looking at possibly lose it when i think the decision made by our government to ban france, $24.00 is right. you cannot justify an interview with a leader of a terrorist group. they can be unhappy all they want,

but it is our country and our country is fighting terrorism. so the decision is just north of france. 24 claims freedom of speech, but you cannot talk about freedom of speech or freedom of expression. when you talk about terrorism, we have every right to defend our country. if you don't be popular, the tensions are very high in this hell region. our government and our troops are gaining ground against the terrorists. what france 24 did is not right. they have a huge following across the french speaking nations in africa. they should have known better before airing the interview. some people believe somehow that varies and i tend to press freedom because having to be we, it still doesn't break the lucy and oh, in december will, can i big government to spend it in other fresh media outlets. radio 1st in national for professional misconduct will cannot puzzle james valley which has also

black book of the french outlet. the military conflicts on be gone, is now being complained by a war of words. as the phrase government media is no longer allowed access to an increasing number of place speakers in africa for out of the way. then we will we are always feeding a reaction to our story. teradowski. so original analyst that we were speaking to just a bit earlier actually says it's hypocritical for the e. u to denounce the ban against fraud. 24 after the block. that the very same thing against russian media outlets are ti. sputnik. the 1st intifada has done is something it's not that good. i mean the media outline is not good on why they don't do it in a way. what do you want to know you on the front is there is another colonization, another form of position to, to present it kind of give a listen. the way of getting information is not everyone knows we cannot owe

another immune formulas of how to treat an information that is based on how to do unfair information. and the way that they have done with the experiments is something very about actually the, you know, the, you, on monday is something is not good because we remember that. why do i live that has been put into you so that you doesn't have a right to think about the way? and if they do the like, just wanted to have to think why they've been out of tea and then it's going to a region. i think your decision is stedman, it's not fair and it's not the normal to do it in un investigate to say that you is guilty of war crime by supporting libyan forces are responsible for atrocities against civilians and migrants who are stuck in or transiting that country a u. n. report refer to the libyan coast guard,

which has been supported by the e. u in recent the support given by the e. u to the libyan coast guard in terms of pull backs, push backs, and interceptions, lead to violations of certain human rights. you can push back people to areas that are unsafe and the libyan waters are unsafe for the embarkation of migrants. course libya was plunged into turmoil during a nato back to uprising an bombing campaign of 2011. it was of course, a traditional bout of attempted to regime change. we all know what happened to bow a mock a daffy. anyway, libby as a key transit point of migrants from africa and the middle east was seeking a better life in europe. during a probe into alleged human trafficking and smuggling investigators found that migrants from libya were victims of crimes against humanity, including murder of the european commission, responded and said, brussels is taking the new ends can sons, serious? indeed, of course, we out of there about this late these findings and are also very much of it about

the very difficult situation on the ground which we are trying to solve. indeed, also together and working together with international partners and the un and its agencies are one of the most important partners for us on the ground of we have worked also with the you. in fact, finding mission when it was in libya, mainly through our delegation into the fully. so v are of course taking current seriously the concerns they are raising. we are looking in tweet and we are working with it. we heard from our senior fellow johns hopkins university, who says european nations intervened in libya far beyond what the un, cold for the end of the day to pursue their own geopolitical go. it also illustrates how europe, in particular, italy, france, to a great extent have focused on a very narrow interest in libya, not really for the benefits of libyans, despite all of that, of course, that i poor bully of democracy, human grades, development,

all of that the reality is that the european countries have gotten involved in libya for very specific european interest. and the primary issue for that was the immigration issue. they wanted to start african immigration or migration into europe. libya is the primary gate. oh, for dos migrants to, to sale, to europe. and they have gotten involved and they have used all kinds of excuses to do that. it was 2011 president sort of causes push even before the un resolution had to interfere. yeah, he actually started bombing and he led the campaign add to kill mama to get death. you do a change the regime at the far beyond would the you and was calling for and he got away with it because nobody else at that time in the security council and the u. n

. was willing to stop him. several arab countries are saudi arabia, jordan. ready the u. e. they were condemned last week decision by the israeli government to issue construction permits for a 1000 new homes on traditionally palestinian land. they say the israeli plans for easter brucell. im have been escalating tensions and just disrupting the whole peace process and making everything worse. as a correspondent, maria phenomena now explains at the edge of jerusalem with a view to jordan valley and the dead sea. we meet. now let me con from raggedy. it is design east, israeli, and geo, the tracks and reports on illegal arab construction in israel and the west bank. now let me points at the palestinian towns and villages surrounding the holy city that israel so far, only supported by the u. s. calls its capital. while talking about a palestinian takeover, it's a battle ground, but a quiet battleground. it's a battle that's being fought with construction. it's

a battle that's using people as weapons and home as weapons and schools, as weapons. and the state of israel isn't fighting this battle at all. we drive through the area, we're big jewish settlements, illegal and to national law board, a smaller palestinian villagers, sci illegal by israel. now me tells me a rag of him documented more than 80000 illegal palestinian constructions in receipt home to an estimated 300000 palestinians. it's under full israeli control, according to the 1995 old law chords. now me has a different picture of things on the ground, completely apartheid. but to reverse of what people claim the apartheid that's actually enforced here in judea. and samaria is apartheid against jews. regular started it's worth more than 15 years ago with a significant role played by now. the countries finance minister. they had always roads far right. religious dining and party,

but solid. a small fridge who was slammed recently after claiming there is no such thing as a palestinian nation. and before that the palestinian town of how laura attacked by israeli settlers should be wiped out their movements near hostile approach to everything. palestinian is of no surprise, but reg of him also finds these railey government complaining. it's not demolishing enough ballasting and houses and not building enough new homes for jews. israel has been there's no other word afraid. simply afraid to face international pressure and to stand up for its rights if legal rights and to enforce the law. if the state of israel can to remove a few shacks from the side of its main highway that the supreme court has found, or are it that israel's complete in its rights to remove? what can they do? the case now only talks about is and the lack murder that has long grabbed

international attention as locals fight with israeli authorities over the hamlets survival. the legal battle began in 2009 after reg, athena, petition. we come here and not knowing what to expect. several times israel's high court, ruled the village to be raised, and every time the state asked to postpone the move, hon anakin, but it may be a tiny palestinian village on the outskirts of jerusalem with a couple hundreds residents living with no proper sewage or electricity. 10 so ramshackle structure is called homes under constant threat to be evacuated for years. but a strategic significance cannot be underestimated. experts from both sides say if this posting an enclave is evacuated, it would basically cut off the north and the south or the west bank. creating a contiguous palestinian state part of a 2 state solution plan would be impossible, but that's not why the residence despite being offered alternative locations, choose to stay here. i'm a, what is it called?

on the high actor hall. i was present here before the p a and before even israel, the p a or any other authority cannot tell me to sit here or move to any other place i was here before i gave him as well before these settlements. where did they come here to build a bo? hi mrs. family era. bedouins moved here in the early fifties after they were kicked out from the nag of desert due to ease rose creation. while the right tween raggedy claims that palestinian autonomy slowly taking over airy sea to have it all for palestinians with no jews on the left my residence voice. tit for tat accusations. never the alibi though the sonata they didn't want better in the desert. and now don't one bedroom in jerusalem, what no veterans and no palestinians. they don't want muslims or christians here up until the dead sea. there is not a single village that belongs to palestinians. israel wants to get rid of us to build more jewish settlements to cut us from the west bank. besides seemed to be
