investigations were too often handled differently because the deceased was indigenous. so many of the worst criminals got away. the bishop's got away. the ones who had done most of the damage never got charged. ah, breaking news this hour at court in ukraine house can find the head of the country's largest monastery to 60 days high. so rest as a clump done on religious figures, but for additional colonies to russia. intensive, also a hit on the us. one of the sellers, they want to do everything in their power to preserve their privileged position in the world. following a security council meeting at the you and russia, deputy ambassador to the organization tells r t western powers hub in say, ship drive. in the global hegemony. indian flagship airline and fis,

they will continue flight over russian aerospace, this funding pressure from western partners with the report claims central african republic case. in a dire situation, that's nearly half the population faces said your food insecurity. we've spoken to the press secretary for the company's president, who lays the blame on the right side actors and contributed to the nation. public. news of our land is richard gold, diamonds, iron mangan engine oil. this should have made the population of the central african republic prosper. unfortunately, we have some nations are plunging to partner with where we are counting the program from today across the world. welcome to moscow on the global news roundup. on our team. we begin the program with breaking news. the head of you means largest monastery, which has been up the center of

a crack done by authorities over its traditional ties to russia has been confined to heiser rest. for 60 days, the ruling came during metropolitan puzzled 2nd court appearance. today, the 1st session was abandoned due to his ill health. r t. senior correspondent broadcast have told me worthier. this is the culmination of government policy in care of which has been to dismantle the ukranian orthodox church, which ukraine has made no secret its uses to pro ration and to independent the the catches of course that the you came in with the docs churches, the biggest religious grouping in ukraine, so this was no simple task for a. 2 president vladimir zelinski as well as his administration. he's, he's bacchus metropolitan puzzle. at the head of the key of picturesque lava was detained earlier today. he was taken to

a court hearing. he felt poorly was taken to hospital and forcefully by ukrainian security agents taken back to the court. we knew that he is being charged of 2 counts. one, really, he's sparking and finding inter religious hatreds and enmity, the subject matter the evidence they haven't seen, but also with rejecting the premise of the russian aggression, which in kevin, whatever ukraine is seen, something is as gospel that russia is via aggressive, should be resisted everywhere. he himself, metropolitan key of has denied these charges here lately i have done and around them dancing ukrainians, dancing nationalists, sorry, radicals, chanting insults, threats of things that we can't voice so will describe on air and dancing about the joyce about this occasion. that has been very little comment from abroad,

from various renews religious organizations and rights. movements about what is happening it is being studiously ignored. we can say that with the degree of accuracy because it has been said so little colbin. also we have heard from the ukranian government against us as since 2000. 1 and 18 made it a policy to try and replace the ukranian orthodox church, which it sees as independent and unruly and thought to pro russian with the orthodox church of ukraine, which, which is a very different thing in teaches a very different religion will though claiming to be the same they they, for example, teach, the ukrainian should never have children with russians that ukrainians should only him to mix with ukrainians to keep the blood pure. we've also heard a presidential advisor come out and comment on what is happening,

saying now is the time to eliminate the unruly clergy. a unique chance when everything could be resolved very quickly and painlessly was during the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war. then it was possible to simply physically clean out many pro russians. today it is a little more difficult. but again, a little harder does not mean impossible. and today we must use legal and tough means to sweep them away. you credit and government, as i said, has been added for years. and in recent months of the pots off for you. so these, these efforts to clamp down to pressure to dismantle the ukranian orthodox church have only ramped up. you had zelinski launching grades using the ukranian s b u, the security service to target ab raid search various monasteries, various members of the clergy, their homes, their workplaces would over the country. a v information turned up as a result of that has been scanned. and we can say that judging by the fact that the

s b hasn't come out and shown anything damaging. nevertheless, they've been at it. they've been trying to find dirt on the ukrainian orthodox church in order to shut it down once and for all. and these, as i said, ease the culmination of these efforts. while he threw open orthodox priest cases, miss campbell from holy trinity theological universe, in addis ababa fears the croc, dine on the clergy could further fuel the spread of violence in ukraine. any government or any kind of institution? we never went from reading the christians, not get anything out of the christians, much shooting martin being to be one of those shot international challenges be

safe if we are under persecution by government off. i mean it's kind of hard to do or something. ready it's not on our minds piece. this is not the point. it's not, it's not the argument isn't the time we got to try it out. it doesn't, it doesn't define what, what do you mean by you like, why these talk them from free and why they because this is so obvious. so please not you. the intervention of that you've got to doesn't want to be in communion. we've got no one else to be with god and if we keep on prayer and do something speak, this is one of the know,

you know what, let's discuss developments on the program live. now we're dr. stephanie guy. it's from the institute of european studies in bel grade. good to see you, stephan. yeah, within the past hour or so, metropolitan poverty has been sentenced to month host or rest of the latest news light on what's been unfolding. your take on what's going on as regards the holy site. this is a clear sign of prosecution of christianity. and i would like to remind your viewers that everything maybe even before my dad, there was a very symbolical events that took place in here. when a woman with chainsaw came, i the center of the city and she took down a huge wooden chrissy fictional plan that happened a almost a year or even longer,

more than a year before. busy before my done and i saw that as a, as a very symbolic events about the future of body and possible future. all of the events in this geographical form. however, what we see now is in one side direct prosecution of christianity. busy of orthodox rashadi to be more precise and a silence. busy busy of officials, of course in the west where he is also from the, from the lion. where is rosa brad? ah. where are other politicians to say that the basic right to worship is being denied in the center of g. m. and it is being denied to the majority because the majority of worshippers of christians in ukraine are members of the ukranian orthodox church of the which is a part of the russian orthodox church. and that these attempts to take her holy law garage had for years before it started in the ninety's. and so i'm not

surprised that this is happening. and i'm unfortunately not feel surprised that that the west is so silent because it seems to me that persecution of christianity is the official policy of natal. i like to be clear about this. i, 4 years ago in 2019 in montenegro president emilio economies who will certainly lose the election to morrow. i tried to push a law. uh we've, we've lived early mirror, the things that we seen in that as we see in kia right now. so he wanted to see, ah, the surgeon arthur of church basically saying that it is a property of state and so on and so forth. however, the, the believer, the worshipper is, did not. all of this happened. there were mass oh, protests and rooms of gatherings which stop. but what they do see is that these

a factor. ah, and the we, we've seen that over the years. yeah. the property, the church is a russian orthodox church, were being taken in ukraine and even around the world the similar times or how many . yeah, just as you say, there has been this echo of silence. but if the pope, i think has been the only influential figure who i've heard, you know, at least voice some concerns as well as that stuff. and we, we saw some images earlier in the day. those celebrating the persecution of the clergy reportedly had not see tattoos and were waving nazi flags. no, i imagine that aspect will be glossed over in the mainstream media, but again, it raises serious questions about who is involved and why it's happening. i mean, when we see the re emergence of the,

our emergence of not only naziism but other forms of paganism, which is quite obvious in ukraine even on front lines with the symbol symbol symbols and so on. but, but in europe as well, i mean the whole, ah, the whole i woke i the all g. is that ok, now we're talking about the left is the some kind of a hand they christian substitutes for christianity. and their emotions are more important than that. and the faxes. busy and so forth. so this goes hand in hand with reemergence of paganism of the meal neo paganism which is in european context white gloves to naziism and he announces because ah, not caesar and especially, ah, hind kimbler a. busy was a connect thing to the neo begun or germanic and northern calls with the nazi ideology. so this is not happening by chance. and the, and there is

a really powerful unless a spiritual component of the war in eastern europe and the, and the force. now the russian orthodox church, the christians, are being prosecuted similarly as they were by rome, in the 1st centuries of christianity. if we put this on to a very basic human level as you went through earlier, steph and religious expression is one of the pillars of democracy. and she morality, but ukrainian authorities are persecuting orthodox clarity for their elijah pro russian sentiment. shouldn't the church be separated from politics here, that they should be separated and the both your brain and what is more important to me here? brussels because that is the center of both european union, your commission and nato. aah! is claiming that. you know, they are the defenders of a freedom of religion. freedom worship. ah. but that they are completely silent now

. and they were silent about, about the takeovers of churches, which were happening as this escalated, especially in the last 9 years after the credit i happening here. so they never voiced their concerns about what is happening to the christians in ukraine are quite the contrary. they see everything through the lines of geo politics. so of course, i cow built a who is one of the most prominent i, european pro politicians, former prime minister of sweden. she explicitly said that orthodox christianity is the enemy. and what is else? here to ad, if somebody who represents a symbolically nato, who was one of the greatest advocates of sweden joining nato is saying that the orthodox are christians are the enemy. and that goes both ortho restrictions in

a rational doevema, montenegro serbia, anywhere because they see them as google. from that we can present ski who died. they see that as the institution that can challenge the the order that this that has been established by them after 1991. stephan always good to get your take. thanks for coming in the program. so early afternoon or breaking news today as well . dr. stephan guides from the institute of european studies in belgrade. now russia is deputy m bus or to her to the u. s. has told archie that western powers are hipaa, critical to last show it's mosque was proposal to station nuclear weapons on the territory of its, allied by the risk saving the u. s. has long stations its nuclear arms and nato countries near russia's borders. the west is trying to act within the concepts of rules based international order, where it's all,

it's all alone sets the rules and seeks that the others should implement these rules. they want to do everything in their power to preserve their privileged position in the world to preserve the well being of the so called golden 1000000000 by any price. they are not hesitate to act and not very much colonial or neo colonial logic in deploying nuclear weapons in the western countries for many years for decades already. and then when russia analysis similar lance simply analysis, they already stopped hysteria. many developing countries, especially weaker developing countries there of course, aware of possible consequences of the criticism of washington economic consequences, political consequences, financial consequences during a un security council meeting on friday, rushes and buster bustling the banjo pointed out that russia had long demanded the

u. s. withdraw any nuclear weapons it had in other countries. he said moscow cannot now stand still idly by nato countries conduct exercises in the use of nuclear arms . garcia, this should do it. so do last. russia in the 90s took all measures to withdraw nuclear weapons from the territory of the former yoga judged americans to do the same, to abandon the thinking of the cold war period to return all of us nuclear weapons to the territory of the united states. u. s. weapons are deployed in the netherlands, germany, or turkey and other nato countries. recall that poland also agreed to participate in the joint new exercises. this is exactly the area that the measures taken by the president of russia are aimed at the 15 member body that leads the united nations, assembled to discuss the issue of tactical nuclear weapons being deployed by russia del groups and bella. ruth, agreeing to host those tactical nuclear weapons. now,

many us aligned countries used this meeting as an opportunity to simply attack russia to blame russia for the conflict in ukraine to accuse russia of various things that we've seen throughout western media over the past months. however, when russia took to the floor, they pointed out something that many countries have failed to acknowledge in western media has worked to just simply not mansion, which is that the united states has been withdrawing and getting rid of you clear agreements. and he went over in detail all the withdrawals of nuclear agreements that we've seen from the united state or the from there, went on to highlight how you asked policy for as been aimed at trying to dictate and control other countries and escalate tensions around the world. zeppelin is thrown at the human western countries are simply trying to impose their own rules on the rest of the world. beneficial only to them in order to then demand this

freaked compliance from other don't age to go see they themselves, of course, do not consider themselves bound by any obligations such inherently neo colonial last 2 years, i mean does ensuring the person above the so called golden rule really and that of any course. neither. we know all the holiness from developing countries can be misled, and he more the apparent hypocrisy of the united states in demanding that russia not be able to deploy a tactical nuclear weapons to bel roost. while the united states and its allies have nuclear weapons, that was made clear by the remark spine to ben z a before the council overall meeting highlighted very big differences between major countries represented on the council when it comes to their interpretation of world advance. russia made clear that the united states is acting in a way that is provoking conflict rather than seeking resolution. and not really

enforcing any of this rhetoric we hear about a rules based global order. for dmitri polanski, again, speaking to this program, are they bound western partners have been depleting their own military resources to fuel the ukrainian conflict? she's strong enough. when will you compare it to the whole of the western world? and now, when the west has mobilized almost all its resources, so key was the man again. and they are not able to do to win over russia. ukraine. i think now they are to be concerns because of what are the steps they will do? you speak about washington, and so then, of course, they proceed from the, from the concept of american exceptionalism. that united states has the right to do whatever he wants of the international arena. and now they view russia and china as a threats. they tried to mobilize to crown so these,

these threats and they want everybody else to be silent. not so into fear on the side of russia and china. and i think that's the only probation of their foreign policy. right. mobile x like. ringback people living in separate planets, having the right to do whatever they want in the country to, to the others. can i bring you to the middle east now where clashes have once again erupt on the streets of israel. mass rallies continue to be held against controversial judicial reforms. there, the demonstrations continued despite the prime minister, postponing those plans as well. the mass protests have been raging for months. all ready on monday, last c p. m. and then net in yahoo person legislative process for the plans to allow for negotiations on a compromise reform package. but demonstrators, as you can see, ours won't deal demanding,

scrapping we will. israel's new government is on a quote run page against human rights. those comments coming from the head of a prominent international and you with the current state of the israeli government and the tax on the dish or in particular, we see that this is not a human was complied government. this is a government that's actually on a rampage against human rights, domestic or against its own people in israel. while the controversial reforms are aimed at limiting the power of the country supreme court and allowing the government to select judge is also 60 brown parliament. the power to override supreme court decisions and limit judicial review of the law as critic say. it would seriously affect the system checks and balances in the country. however, the foreign ministry has hit back at the criticism, healing israel as an example of democracy. the remarks are an amazing example of how boys she in the organizational israel is a strong and vibrant democracy. the demonstrate is over the last few months or an

impressive example of it. hundreds of thousands of people are manifesting in the streets. no violence protected by the police. this is how real democracy works. it is yet another example of an organization that targets israel on anything without the minimum understanding of fairness. what earlier we spoke to side our accounts, washington bureau chief for the jerusalem based palestinian daily l. could. he agrees with human rights watches assessment. but said israel will never be held accountable. anyone has always been a human rights abuse rampage against the palestinian. you know, i mean, and it is great that we see demonstrations and, and israel in pursuit of reversing lease and judicial reforms from time to time. we see some statement there. i managed to give the spokesman last week or the week before to say some strong words. again, it is really abuses, but it never really go beyond that. i don't know how israel will be held

accountable as long as it is being protected completely by then. i think america, i mean, an x ray should be held accountable by let's say, cutting off aid. then i say supplies israel with $3800000000.00 a year and armed alone. so that's it. that's quite a leverage that they can use. i don't see that this current will be accountable. i don't see it's really reversing course. and what i see, unfortunately, that would move forward and will probably implement these sit dead. judicial reforms cannot story to bring you today. the head of india's flagship airline has insisted it will continue to conduct flights over russian or space. the spike pressure from western partners, the ceo of or india adamantly defended the company's decision, saying it's simply a matter of economics. if that's the way the winds are blowing and it is most economical, if we prevent certain carriers from over flying certain places,

it doesn't necessarily stop people moving. it just changes where they're moving through. potentially the chief off and india he defended the right of air india to flight through russian skies. in this cells on the pro could to interview to the telegraph. the journalist with a telegraph, who interviewed mister wilson, he basically was giving him the logic that if you're flying or russia, then you're basically helping russia fund the war in ukraine to which sha, mr. wilson raised strongly, ah, have rubbish all those cleans. in fact, i remember most of the west in a line, they have quoted flying through russia, ukraine as well as belive who was and essentially, what's that done, it has made the hours longer. it has made the dig, it's more expensive. needless to say, more feel well already meza shortage of feel was not insistently all source ever

and line. they were approached western government saying that an airline which is flying through the russian sky should be prohibited for landing western soil. now when they seeing you that india and china, they companies have an unfair advantage. foreign airlines using russian air space on flights to and from the us are gaining a significant competitive advantage over us carriers in major markets, including china and india. this situation is directly to the benefit of foreign airlines and at the expense of the us as a whole, with fewer connections to key markets, fewer high paying airline jobs. so you're paying as far as a east to west. the road from east to west is concerned, the best possible way is flying through the giant territory of russia. what it does is it makes it shorter, it makes it cheaper. but as far as india and china are concerned,

they've not signed up to the sanctions. so these 2 may be able to use this route, but interesting how inoffensive entitlement they think that it's so key for eastern airlines to suffer as much as western airlines. and why perhaps it's dying to think the other way. the region sharma, they're well armed, conflicts and more natural disasters. mean the situation in the central african republic remains dire this year. that's according to a new report by the us agency for international development that a document claims more than 3000000 people in the c a r r. a need of humanitarian aid predicts nearly half the country's population will face severe food insecurity this year. it's also cripple by conflicts between militant groups which the place almost $60000.00 people in january alone this year the report states. while the

press secretary to the central african republics presidencies, it's still possible for the country to be impoverished despite its wealth of natural resources. moves of who are land is rich and gold, diamonds, iron, manganese, and oil. when it comes to agriculture, we can grow cottonwood coffee and produce wood products. this should have made the population of the central african republic prosperous. but unfortunately, we see how some nations are plunging. our country into poverty, it has not gone anywhere. we still live in an unstable situation with the crisis, rebel groups and military formations. a president says those are the reasons for the continuing poverty in the country for the last 60 years and he has been facing one crisis after another. the proposed solutions have never worked at the president tour. dara has decided to ask some allied countries for help in combating the rebel groups. the 1st country to respond was russia. the people of c a r are really

grateful for this input to bring peace back to our country. all the african countries agree that we lack technologies that we need to develop bilateral, mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries. and the un charter allows that any sovereign state, like ours has the right to cooperate with any other un member. nobody can prevent us from working with friendly countries and brotherly people. we count on technologies that will help us to use our resources. africans have realized that the c a r is ready to collaborate with any friendly country that are open to mutually beneficial cooperation. we have the resources you have, the technology was in. let's sit at the table and discuss how we can move forward together. today, the central african republic has become the object of slander and lies it is associated with war, but it is not true. the c a r needs investors. we are open to any cooperation based on mutual respect.
