a, a move ah, a court in ukraine house can find the head of the country's largest monastery to 60 days. hard to read about sounds like clump dined on religious figures, but traditional values to russia and a lives they want to do everything in their power to preserve their privileged position in the world. meeting to r, t rushes deputy ambassador to be un takes aim at western powers, accusing them of having an insatiable thirst to maintain their global india's flag ship or line insisted will continue flights over russia or space. this spike

pressure from western park in report claims central african republic case in a dire situation as nearly half the population faces severe food insecurity. the countries presidential office sage resort, hungary, i decide doctors must take some responsibility for the nation. with land is rich gold, diamonds, iron man is an oil. this should have made the population of the central african republic prosperous. but unfortunately, we see how some nations are plunging in our country into poverty with, from moscow to the world. this is our t great to have you with us for the news. our the head of ukraine's largest monastery, which has been the center of a crack done by authorities over its traditional ties to russia,

has been confined to heiser rest. for 60 days, the sentence was hunted done during metropolitan pop or 2nd court appearance. after the 1st was halted due to an illness he had suffered. this was the albert's reaction to the ruling. yes, mr. being in trouble is like i didn't do any thing. i know this is a political case because i was told to switch to the key of backed orthodox church of ukraine, but i said, no, i was threatened. the security services of ukraine came to me and said, a criminal case should be opened against me and it was, i don't know who planned it. i'm not going to figure that out, because it's not my style to settle accounts for the holy figure, no. hus to wear an electronic tag for the next 2 months. the metropolitans lawyer said the abbot would appeal to to health concerns. they also state where he has been. confined to house arrest is not fit for human habitation. r t senior correspondent morocco,

gusty of took us through the background to the situation earlier. this is the culmination of government policy in care of which has been to dismantle the ukrainian orthodox church, which ukraine has made no secret. it ceases to pro ration and to independent. the we catch is of course, that the ukrainian orthodox church is the biggest religious grouping in ukraine. so this was no simple task for a president vladimir zelinski as well as his administration. he's, he's back as metropolitan pabo at the head of the key of the chairs. lava was detained earlier today, he was taken to a court hearing. he felt poorly was taken the hospital of him forcefully by ukrainian security agents. taken back the court, we knew that he is being charged on 2 counts, one ease sparking and finding into religious hatreds and enmity,

the subject matter the evidence we 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 resist. everywhere of the scenes from the monastery, the key of which of lava ah harrowing for many orthodox folk for not justin in ukraine, but all over the world. their sending shudders through worshippers of the machine is such that supporters, who's against the eviction and the takeover of for you kids. what have you quince largest monasteries is that they're there. they're praying, they're trying to resist without violence. and you have ukrainian nationalists also at the scene, radicals who haven't the slightest interested in religion, but a just happy to be somewhere where, what they deem what are being called per russians are being evicted. you have seen

showing people praying on their knees and around them dancing ukrainians, dancing nationalists, sorry, radicals, chanting insults, threats of things that become voice. describe on air and dancing about the jewish about this occasion. that has been very little comment from abroad, from various religious organizations and rights movements about what is happening, it is being studiously ignored. we can say that with the degree of accuracy because there has been so so little comment. also we have heard from the ukranian government which again for us has since 2000. 1 and 18 made it a policy to try and replace the ukranian orthodox church, which had, seizes independent and unruly and thought to pro russian with the orthodox church

of ukraine which, which is a very different thing and teaches a very different religion. although 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 ukrainian to keep the blood pure. we've also heard the 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. and 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 government, as i said, has been added for years and in recent months of the pothole for you. so these, these efforts to clamp down to pressure to dismantle the ukrainian with the docs church of only ramped up. you had zelinski launching grades using the ukranian,

s b u, the security service to target ab rate 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, u hasn't come out and shown anything damaging. nevertheless, they've been at it. they've been trying to find dirt on the ukranian orthodox church in order to shut it down once and for all. and these, as i said, ease. the culmination of these efforts of dr. 7 gaiety from the institute of european studies in belgrade argues the persecution of christianity, has all but become official nato policy, which has no spread to ukraine. what we see now is on one side direct prosecution

of christianity. busy of orthodox were shouted to be more precise and silence. busy of officials, of course, in the west where he is also from the, from the lion. where is it bread or other politicians to say that the basic right to worship is being denied in the center of give. and i'm unfortunately not even surprised that that the west is so silent because it seems to me that the prosecution of christianity is the official policy of nate. we see the re emergence or emergence of not only naziism, but other forms of paganism, which is quite obvious in ukraine, even on the front lines with the symbol symbol symbols and so on. but, but in europe as well, i mean the whole, the whole cardiology is and now we're talking about the left is some kind of a and they christian substitute for christianity and emotions are more

important than the facts and so on and so forth. so this goes hand in hand with reemergence of paganism, a paganism which is in european context white close to naziism and neo nazi will event surrounding the church and ukraine resonated in ethiopia, where the largest orthodox christian community outside of eastern europe resides. if you'll be an orthodox priest, kaz it miss gable from holy trinity theological university. in other some of the fears that cracked on could fuel an optic in violence, in ukraine. any government or any kind of issue really about when speeding not get anything out of the christian much should

be to is one of those shot international challenges. so if it's under prescription by government or mission, it shows kind of tv or something. it's not going on for me on my piece this, this is the point. it's not, it's not the activation fee is not somebody that you have to try it out. it doesn't, it doesn't define what, what do you mean by, you might, might use different kinds of expression. kind of painting you can do. but the fox news is the evil course. who doesn't want the people to be good and who doesn't want to go to my feet in the bus to get out of it. but this is natalie

to look because i'm impressed not i'm saying this is the fact the way we have got us to really go. she was really, we not physically mean tiny even decide what to do. they will look into why these for them from brain and why they got them from doing this. so it is so obvious. so please. so the the, the intervention of all who doesn't want us to be in communion? we've got no one else to be with god. and if we keep on prayer and do something, this is one of the know, you know, ducky western powers are hypocritical to love shied at most schools, proposal to station nuclear weapons on the territory of its allied bella. roofs,

the u. s. as long positioned it's nuclear arms in nato countries near russia's borders. that's what moscow's deputy and buster to the u. n told r t earlier. the west is trying to act within the concepts of rules based on the national 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 as it's 8 to act as a very much colonial or neo colonial logic in deploying nuclear weapons in the western countries. ringback for many years, for decades already. and then when the russia analysis simulate, lance simply announces they already started julia. 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 ambassador facilities. benji pointed out that russia had long demand that the u. s. withdraw the nuclear weapons, it has in other countries. he said moscow cannot sit idly by nato countries conduct drills on how to use atomic arms that i see is this should do it. so do last rushing in. the ninety's took all measures to withdraw nuclear weapons from the territory of the former gala, urged 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 nuclear 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 . yes. hello. hello, ruth rain 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 refrain to a huge 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 nuclear agreements. and he went over in detail all the withdrawals of nuclear agreements that we've seen from the united states. from there,

he went on to highlight how you asked policy 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 strict compliance from other states. they themselves, of course, do not consider themselves bound by any obligations, such inherently neo colonial latch jews are aimed at ensuring the person of variety of the so called golden 1000000000 at any cost. neither we know our colleagues 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 tactical nuclear weapons to bel roost. while the united states and its allies have nuclear weapons,

that was made clear by the remarks fine to ben z a before the council. over all the meetings highlighted very big differences between major countries represented on the council when it comes to their interpretation roles 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. ok, let's turn attention on the program to the middle east where a clashes are once again being seen in israel as mass rallies continue against controversial judicial reforms. the demonstrations are rating despite the prime minister, postponing those plans earlier this week. ah, the the

the, the face looks like a familiar scene. it is because the mass protests have been rocking israel for months already on monday. prime minister netanyahu pulls the legislative process for the plans to allow for negotiations on a compromise reform. demonstrators are not satisfied on demanding their total scrapping. meanwhile, israel's new government is on a, quote rum page against human rights. those comments coming from the head of a prominent international rights group with the current state of the israeli government and the tax on the judiciary. in particular, we see that this is not a human wise complied government. this is a government that's actually on the rampage against human rights domestically

against its own people in israel. the controversial reforms are aimed at to limiting the power of the country supreme court, some allowing the government to select judges. it also seeks to ground parliament, the power to override supreme court decisions and limit judicial review of laws. critics say it would seriously affect the system of checks and balances in the country, or wherever the foreign ministry is hit back at human rights watch. it's criticism, healing, israel as an example of democracy. the remarks are an amazing example of how bias 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. radio we spoke to psych dot accounts washington bureau chief for the jerusalem base palestinian daily out could. he agrees with pe,

charge abuse assessment, but is of the view. israel will not 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 abusive, but it never really go beyond that. i don't know how it will be held accountable as long as it is being protected completely by then. i think the america, i mean, it really should be held accountable by, let's say, cutting off aid. they supply his red with $3800000000.00 a year and armed alone so that, 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. i see, unfortunately, that will move forward and will probably implement these sit a judicial reforms. the head of india's flagship or line has insisted it will continue to conduct flights over russian aerospace, the spy pressure from western partners they had over india ultimately 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 fly through russian skies. in this cells on the pool continued into view to the telegraph. the journalist with the telegraph, when 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 bended, who was, and i sent you the. what's that done is 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 now interestingly, also us ever and line. they've approached western government saying that any airline which is flying to the russian sky should be prohibited for landing western soil. now what they seeing is 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

u. s. carriers in major markets, including china and india. this situation is directly to the benefit of foreign airlines and at the expense of the u. s. as a whole, with fewer connections to key markets, fewer high paying airline jobs. so you're paying as far as a, a east to west, the road from east to west is, can send the best possible way, is flying toward the giant territory of russia. what does it it makes a shorter it makes it cheaper. but as far as india and china are concerned, they have not signed up to the sanctions. so these 2 may be able to use this road. but interesting how in a sense of entitlement, they think that it's okay for our eastern airlines to suffer as much as western airlines and why perhaps it's time to think the other way. now it appears in you

global trend is gathering pace. thousands of dollars is ation following a number of recent high profile business deals where the dollar was ditched. india's new trade policy, no features the decision to move away from using the green back. in foreign contracts, the legislation is set to come into effect this month on the same, the driving india's foreign trade and giving a boost to domestic production. it comes as the re, p is being used more often across the world with 18 countries having adopted. it is in cross border trade with new delhi, including moscow pivoting away from america, reserve currency. earlier we spoke to economists the crumb lindsay, we say the wave, all the d dollarization is only going to pick off and going forward. there is a larger wave of need all the reservation happening around the world. i mean it's, it's, it's, it's been years now that the dollar had the money was there and has been there for

some time now. and that seems to be, you know, kind of leverage a bit awfully. and, and in the way it was getting stronger every month that every person that we, there's a general trend towards multiculturalism happening. and with that model, people that have been currency, of course, the guarantee mechanism and global trade mcadams, also have to therefore become people that's essentially the reason 70 years back when there was in the mix and shock. and before that, the bretton woods and all these were postway war kind of mechanisms are just structured. when the vest and perspective the world has changed a lot. now. china and india and lot of asian country is going to build a lot. and so do other country is also underwood. so gender democrat advise ation off currency gender, democratic upgrade, a larger mighty ball environment seems to be emerging. and because the multiplication is just a function of that, that's why it's a natural function which is happening at this farm armed conflicts,

more natural disasters. mean the situation in the central african republic remains dyer this year. that's according to a new report by the u. s. agency for international development. now the document claims more than 3000000 people in the c a. r in need of military and aiden predicts nearly half the country's population will face severe food insecurity in 2023. the nation's also crippled. the paper concludes by conflicts between militant groups which displaced almost 60000 people in january alone. for the press secretary to the central african republic president told us it's still possible for the country to be impoverished despite its wealth of resources because of the thirst of external states for africa's natural riches moves up. oh, our land is rich in gold, diamonds, iron, manganese,

and oil. when it comes to agriculture, we can grope hot coffee, 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. rubble, groups, and military formations are president says those are the reasons for the continuing poverty in the country. go to the last 60 years that he has been facing one crisis after another. the proposed solutions have never worked. typically the president to our daughter has decided to ask somehow like countries for help in combating the rebels gears. the 1st country to respond was russia in the people of c, a r, r, really grateful for this input to bring peace back to our country. while 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, r is ready to collaborate with any friendly country that are open to mutually beneficial cooperation with. 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, slander and live. it is associated with war. when it is not true, the c, r needs investors. we are open to any cooperation based on mutual respect. and i can see that we intend to develop this way so that russian investors, economies, leading enterprises come to the c a r, so that they help us use the natural wealth our country has including agriculture. we want to move from traditional and mechanical farming to industrial agriculture. we want to develop our minerals with industrial methods. that's what we're aiming

for, but there are lie surrounding our country. western media are trying to discourage those who want to come here. we are ready to work with all businesses in countries of good will, who will cooperate with us on the mutually beneficial terms. okay, let's keep attention on africa. as uganda has announced that sending 5000 troops to the neighboring democratic republic of congo in an effort to restore peace near they were one than border kampala has emphasized that the soldiers main task is to restore order not to engage in fighting with a militant group that the d r. c sais is supported by rwanda. we are going to be in the buena gunner rocher area, not in order to fight the m $23.00, but to act as a neutral force as the congo is used. the time to cert out their political problems unless we are attacked. we're not there to fight. fighting may come later if one of the non state groups doesn't accept based on what we all regard as reasonable

conditions. uganda and troops enter the d r. c. town of boone, again on friday, near the borders of uganda and rwanda. the troops are serving under the auspices of the east african community, a grouping of which the 3 countries are member states. the soldiers are expected to oversee the withdrawal of the m. 23 insurgency group. after a recent peace accord, was signed. local residence in uganda, say the peacekeeping efforts will be costly but necessary to restore peace in the region, uninsured the safety of their own nation. it's would for them to deploy day i may there. then there was to buckle video that it's the expense down in coding on what on deploying. there you be deb solias, bumble. so my opinion is i think it's a really great expense to uganda. to deployed the media though they are helping to

fight against the idea who are also they both feel gun with me as at bescedy. i think it's very okay for them to jump in from them for me. yeah, i never i finally, for the 1st time in 3 years, high level talks between china and japan's top diplomats will happen. will happen this weekend. it comes to mid tensions overtook. he was plans to restrict the export of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to china. curbing beijing's ability to make advance chips for its high tech sector. earlier we spoke with c g, t, and report a young fish out who say the countries are important to each other, but issues remain. well, the 2 countries are neighbors. so, so.
