ah, in a court in ukraine, how to confine the head of the country's largest monastery to 60 days. hard to read about sounds like clump, dined on religious figures with traditional families to russia, a lives they want to do everything in their power to preserve their privileged position in the world. making 2 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 flagship or line. and they said, we'll continue flight over russian 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 seizure is the worst hungary i decide, doctors must take some responsibility for the nation with land is rich in gold diagrams, iron mangan engine, 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 to partner with from moscow to the world. this is our take, 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 high sir rest. for 60 days. the sentence was handed down during metropolitan possible 2nd court appearance after the 1st was holsted due to an illness he had suffered. this was the albert's reaction to the ruling. yes, mr. being in trouble is that i didn't do anything. 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. will the holy figure no husks to wear an electronic tag? for the next 2 months? the metropolitans lawyer said the up it would appeal out 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 tickets,

through the background to the situation earlier. 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 diseases to pro ration and to independent the catches 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, who's 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 is sparking and finding inter 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 has as gospel that russia is via aggressive, should be resist every wet of the scenes from the monastery, the key of which of a lover, ah harrowing for many orthodox folk for not justin in ukraine. but all over the world, their sending shudders through worshippers of v, as in such that supporters, those 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 trying to resist without violence. and you have ukrainian nationalist also at the scene, radicals who haven't the slightest interested in religion, but it 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 said so little comment. also, we have heard from the ukranian government, which again for us, has since 2018 made it a policy to try and replace the ukranian orthodox church, which it seizes independent and unruly and far 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 ukrainian should only him to mix with ukrainian is to keep the blood pure. we've also had 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 government, as i said, has been at it for years. and in recent months of the pos hoffer you. so these, these efforts to clamp down to pressure to dismantle the ukranian orthodox church

have only ramped up. you had zelinski launching raids using the ukranian s b you the security service to target ab raid search various monasteries, various members of the clergy, the homes of their workplaces would over the country. a v at 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 that 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 nature policy, which has no spread to ukraine. what we see now is on one side,

direct prosecution of christianity. 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 rosa bread. there are 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 grady all g 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 of the view of paganism, which is in european context white gloves to nazis. i'm in the united states will event surrounding the church. and ukraine have 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 and optic in violence, in ukraine. any government or any of the issue really about when speeding not get anything out of the questions, much should be

one of those premiums for shot international challenges be safe if we are under persecution by government or mission, it shows kind of how to do or something it's not going on for me. on my piece is the point. it's not, it's not the argument. you should not be the most. it is not somebody that you got to try and it doesn't, it doesn't define what, what do you mean by you might, might use different kinds of expressions and of painting you can do what the fox news. we have the evil horse who doesn't want the people to be good and who doesn't want to go to my feet in the bus to get started. but this is

natalie to look because i'm not, i'm saying is the fact the way we have understood every we're going to go. she was really, we not gives you the physical body or many tiny, even to psychology. they will look into why it is for them from frame in why and 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 no, 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 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 do not hesitate to acting very much colonial or neo colonial logic in deploying nuclear weapons in the western countries for many years for decades already. and then when the russia analysis simulate, lance simply announces they already stop. she's julia many developing countries, especially weaker developing countries there of course,

aware of the 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 because he is, he should do it. so do those to russia in the 90s took all measures to withdraw nuclear weapons from the territory of the former guy was 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 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. ready assembled to discuss the issue of tactical nuclear weapons being deployed by russia. l. l. ruth, agreeing to host those tactical nuclear weapons. now, many u. s. a line countries used this meeting as an opportunity to simply attack russia to blame russia for the conflict in your brain. to a huge raja 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. and 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 their strict compliance from other states. they themselves, of course, do not consider themselves bound by any obligations. such inherently neo colonial attitudes are aimed at ensuring the personal charity 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 the able to deploy tactical nuclear weapons the bell roost. while the united states and its allies have nuclear weapons. i that was made clear by the remarks

bind benzene before the council. over all the meetings, i lighted. very big differences between major countries represented on the council when it comes to their interpretation 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. ok, let's turn attention on the program to the middle east where clashes are once again being seen in israel as mass rallies continue against controversial judicial reforms. the demonstrations are raging despite the prime minister, postponing those plans earlier this week. ah

ah, yes. love this looks like a familiar scene. it is because the mouth protests have been rocking israel for months already on monday, prime minister netanyahu pause the legislative process for the plans to live for negotiations on a compromise reform package. but demonstrators are not satisfied under demanding their total scrapping. sh. 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 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 against its own people in israel. the controversial reforms are aimed at the limiting the power of the country supreme court on allowing the government to select judges. it also 6 grand 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 has had pocket 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 organization of israel is a strong and vibrant democracy. the demonstrated 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. right here we spoke to delta counts, washington bureau chief for the jerusalem base, palestinian daily ell kids,

he agrees with teach are double use 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 against 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, it really should be held accountable by, let's say, cutting off aid. they supply his rep 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 there 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. i think the chief off and india he defended the right off air india to fly through russian skies. in this cells, won the pool, continued into view to the telegraph. the journalist with the 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 rice. shawnee, 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 bender, who was and ascension. 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 there's a shortage of feel is not insistently also us ever and line. they've approached western governments 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 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 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 route 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 they still may be able to use this rude. 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 an u global trend is gathering pace that of d dollarization following a number of recent high profile business deals where the dollar was ditched. india's new trade policy now features the decision to move away from using the greenback in foreign contracts. the legislation is set to come into effect this month and is aimed at driving india's foreign trade and giving a boost to domestic production. it comes as the rupee is being used more often across the world with 18 countries having adopted it in cross border trade with new deli, including moscow pivoting away from america's reserve currency. earlier we spoke to economist, vic from them say, who sees the wave? all that de dollarization is only going to pick up and going forward. there is a larger, a wave of d dollarization happening around the world. i mean it's, it's, it's, it's been years now that the dollar had him and he was there and has been there for

some time now. and that seems to be, you know, kind of leaving a bit of late and, and in the way of us getting stronger, i, every month, every year let's pretend that we, there's a general trend worse, multi bowlers. hm. happening. and with that multi boilers and currency, of course, the currency, mechana, zim, and global trade mach. amazon's also have to, therefore, become a multi polar that's essentially the reason 70 years back. i'm and there was in the nixon shark and before that the britain words and all these were postway war kind of mechanisms are just structured with the rest and perspective, the wireless change a lot. now china and india and lot of asian country has gone to boot a lot and so the other country is also underwood. so gender, democratization of currency, gender, democratization of trade. a larger mighty ball of environment seems to be emerging . and the currency multiple reservation is just a function of that as a,

that's where it is a natural function which is happening at this farm armed conflicts, more natural disasters. mean the situation in the central african republic remains dire this year. 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, or need of humanitarian aid on 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 from 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 is natural, riches moves of a whole. our land is rich in gold, diamonds, iron, manganese,

and oil. when it comes to agriculture, we can grow cottonwood 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. rebel groups and military formations. a president says those are the reasons for the continuing poverty in the country over the last 60 years if he has been facing one crisis after another. the proposed solutions have never worked with the resident tour. dara has decided to ask somehow like countries for helping combatting the rebel 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. 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 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 or country hats, 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. ok, 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 gun a richer 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 search 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 would for them to deploy the may there. then there was part of it the expense in cutting on what on deploying their you pdf soley us. so my opinion is i think it's a really great expense to to deploy the media though they are helping to quite who

also it was we were granted earlier, very careful about police me right now. me as a bus and i think it's very okay for them to jump them from them from me. i'm just gonna i never run here. no, i finally for the 1st time in 3 years, high level talks between china and japan's top and diplomats will happen. what will happen this weekend? it comes from intention, overtook us 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, n reporter young facial who said the countries are important to each other, but issues remain well the to.
