friends, the woman accused of carrying out the attack was reportedly acquainted with the victim linkage. so martha must validity on march. 3rd, we had an event and she came greeted our employee and introduced herself as anastasia. she said she had a telegram channel and shared it with us. she offered our employee postcards that she drew herself on march 27th. she brought these post cards, walked through the bookshop, looked at flatlands books, and then left. she took pictures of the post cards in front of the bookshop, posted them on her telegram channel, but the post has since been deleted. i haven't heard anything from vlad, lynn about her. only now when we showed the post cards on the internet, vladin's wife sent a photo that this woman gave the same post cards to flatland himself. of course, we're all in shock because vladin was our friend. i messaged him just a day ago. we wanted to hold an event in our bookshop. the russian investigative

committee has blamed ukrainian special services for the terror attack. however, kiev has denied any involvement in the boss. the main suspect 26 year old da triple valve was taken in for fashioning or she admitted to bringing the statue containing the bomb to the cafe trap above was later taken to moscow for court hearings on tuesday. here's how one friend described daria lodge level after she did have opposition use. sometimes she went to protests, but there were no signs of radicalism. she has been living in moscow for the last 6 months. she said she was to lots, but i didn't ask. wish wicked, which had it a week ago, she said that she was not going to send pictures back anytime soon. we discuss how much we wanted to made. but she said that unfortunately she wanted me go into sent paces back in the near future. committed med is quite a radical stop pie, didn't them? and believe it at 1st, i watched the video with the hand in this statute. dasha has

a very specific moistening to nation than that's how i recognized her. i then made up my mind that this is most likely a true story. short. the late journalist was a prominent figure in the online community of russian war correspondence. born in a don gets republic, the 40 year olds, real name was maxine fulman. in 2014, he joined the don, yet militia, to fight against cabs forces following the regions declaration of independence after the might. on qu, his experience led him to become one of the most followed, corresponded with over half a 1000000 followers on telegram ortiz donald quarter, takes us to the scene of the blast on a sunday evening like any other russian war correspondent, blood lend to tar ski was hosting an event centered around war zone journalism. here at this cafe, it was opened admission. any one could have attended. and starsky told his audience of his stories of war. around 615 p. m. his life came to

a sudden end after an explosion reduce the cafes interior to rubble. ah, she just took up the suit usa too late. terrorist attack has just happened yet. while vlad lend to tar ski was speaking. there was an explosion in the bar. it seems that our speaker from gut up curriculum, i gave you a postcard when an everson than the blessed happened after then suspect. and the case was a woman by the name of daria trap of some one who had been arrested before at anti government demonstrations. and had transferred money to an extremist organization called the anti corruption foundation. around 700 police officers were deployed

across the city in search of trap of the police showed up at her door with automatic weapons and even rated the residence of her mother and sister. for the time being though she was nowhere to be found, the next day, the authorities found daria trap of a at a 4 rent apartment where the russian investigative committee later confirmed her detention. not long after that, the interior ministry released a video confession in which doria trip of a admits to bringing an explosive statuette to tar ski's event. do you understand why you have been detained? i am detained, full being at the scene of flatland petoskey, killing. what have you done? i pause sachi, they explode at us. who gave it to you? good. can i tell you later, rushes anti terrorism committee has determined that this was a terrorist attack organized by key of with the help of agents from the aforementioned extremist organization. the anti corruption foundation here for its

part has denied any involvement in this attack. as it did a year ago, when there was overwhelming evidence to suggest that key f agents had killed another high profile russian journalist. daria do gonna, with the civilian assassinations piling up and the west, turning a blind eye to kias roland them. it looks like the people who risked their lives to show the world. the truth are going to have to sleep with one eye open until this conflict is over donald quarter r t st. petersburg. we spoke to international affairs and security analysts, mark sl boda, who says the west. his reaction to the killing of journalists has been anything but consistent political term. it is a demonstration to other, you know, people in persons oper, rosure danielle school gone, is going all over ukraine, who might speak out against the regime. or, you know, cooperate with russia in its intervention in ukraine, that if you do so,

you will be targeted and you will be killed in an attempt to silence them and, and stop opposition to the regime. and in the current state of global tensions in the information war, we have some journalists that are, you know, better or, or more important, or, you know, than others, right? it's a very or, well in situation you have our journalists and there, the other ones are the legitimate targets. so it's a really terrible precedent. so far it's been extremely one sided thus far. but if other countries were to adopt this, this pattern of behavior of what you know, the west present says as a liberal democratic aspiring government the

former ceo of lafarge a syrian based french construction materials company, has revealed french intelligence service, infiltrated the firm to continue activities in syria and collaborated with terrorist groups like i sis in order to do so. we learned that there was a special relationship between the french states, its services and lafarge. one of the reasons the state took an interest in us was that the factory site was a strategic location for the anti terrorist coalition. and for france, this is why i believe that the authorities encouraged us, at least to maintain our activities in syria. so let's get this straight. while some of the world's most brutal terrace groups are operating all around it, this particular french company was miraculously able to continue operating. essentially under the protection of the same terrace, the french air force had been bombing since 2014. and who the french state had labelled as savages. but as you can see from this map,

the plants location meant that despite most of the staff being evacuated, its strategic importance remained. the french giants factory continued its operation in syria, despite extremist groups taking over large swathes the country until finally shutting down its factory in hallelujah, aleppo, in september 2014, been situational. paddock said paradoxical situation had a reason explained beyond us get caught on the one hand, the factory continued to operate by accommodating belligerents who had settled around it, including dice. at the same time, as the embassies had closed and the french intelligence services were not present there at that time, french intelligence lack informants. of course, everything has a cost and avoiding the medieval brutality of the islamic state doesn't come for free. so how exactly does a european multinational manage to sit pretty in the middle of the most brutal wars and decades? well, as usual, it's all about the money. it was our partner in syria. it was through him that

amounts were paid to ensure the safe transport of our employees and materials to pass through. we discovered that he also works for the french intelligence for renumeration. he explains that he collected intelligence through his contacts. each time he cross roadblocks, checkpoints set up by armed groups on the roads. it appears that the state was perfectly aware to pass road blocks you had to pay. hence my question, how was the money that lafarge paid him used? what pockets did they fly into? the court never answered that question. so the grimy nexus between french corporate interests and their intelligence community is essentially laid bare. the hypocrisy is hard to ignore. and for many victims of the islamic state, it's hard to stomach with lafarge, a security chief revealing in great detail how he himself had gathered information and passed it directly to french intelligence. as soon as i had the information

about these people, i would pass it onto the services i was sending them ron formation. i did not filter the information. i was passing it to intelligence services. i told them everything. remarkably, these emails also revealed that in 2014, the french government, i'd even for united states not to bomb the la farm plant, close to the ice, a stronghold in rocca lobbying the americans to ensure the plant was put on what was chilly you referred to as the appropriate list this french investments should be protected. this is to confirm that the site mentioned by your interlocutor was mentioned by our military to the u. s. colleagues and is now registered on the appropriate list. unfortunately, the grim reality is that the cache paid to isis during this period of bizarre collaboration could have potentially funded the massacres of innocence, french civilians in paris. another conveniently ignored truth. is that why willing to levy a 778000000 dollar fine on the french company?

the u. s. department of justice makes no mention of the gruel. b, involvement of the french secret services. but like i said, it's all about the money. the india has successfully completed the autonomy landing of its 1st re usable rocket. that's according to the indian space research organization. a launch took place at an air field near she said, door goes south india. in this video, you can see the missile being lifted to an altitude of 4.5 kilometers by an indian air force helicopter. the wing body was subsequently released to make an automatic landing at high speed. the successful test followed the development of advanced technologies, which india says are the 1st in the world ah, at the least developed countries, conference and guitar. the president of the central african republic gave

a scathing speech towards the west treatment of his country. the conference took place in march and covered many topics with a diverse pool of guests from state leaders and industry leaders to representatives of the un which organized the conference for the 5th time. the african states president accusing the west of looting his country and being responsible for terrorist activity to get more on the african liter speech and the latest on the central african republic. we have an exclusive interview with the republics presidential spokesperson, emmanuel lou, unfortunately wishes some countries driven us into poverty in his statement prison to adero, wanted to condemn just that the forward to facing the central african republic hasn't gone anywhere, was to live in unsafe conditions with all this crisis insurgence and armed formations, as our president noted, due to these factors remaining, our country continues to live in poverty. this is what president to adair wanted to emphasize in his statement. chicken is

a good you what i can say, and all central african republic citizens. now this, well, is that since effort against independence for more than 60 years, we've lived through one crisis after another. all the decisions offered never helped us was still face armed formations, insurgencies, and rebels. the cd to say president todd dera, decided to request assistance from a number of friendly countries who were ready to help us deal with the armed formations and rebels. he asked for help from russian federation, and russia came to the rescue as well as rhonda, which was also addressed by the president. they came to aid us. they held the central african republics armed forces repelled the armed formations and drive insurgents from the republics territory. this alliance, as i would call it, with rush and ruin to load our armed forces to gain control of the most of the countries territory. because there was a time when armed formations were almost everywhere, with the help from our friends from russia. and ron,

to our army controls most of the land, we must gain control of the areas where mining operations are taking place, where the armed formations are active now, in order to take control of her countries development to morrow, mid to could be our so our cooperation with what was then the ussr was fruitful in russia, they drain, doctors, engineers and teachers. we want to revive that system because all this crisis rebellions, wars have created massive setbacks and human resource development are working great in universities, facilities of higher education, high schools dispenser is hospitals, infrastructure. everything concerning the c, a r's development. we're counting on cooperation with russia a lot in the field of universities. this includes preparing our teachers lectures by russian professors and now universities. it also includes training of our doctors and courses for students here. it also involves the training of engineers and insistence and building infrastructure that is worth of being called infrastructure. so we have the means to satisfy basic needs of for population.

no, no, no, not exactly count and he isn't acknowledged that would allow us to use our natural reaches. we're glad to have you ever cons understand very well. the see are with president foster archman here to our dera, as his leader is ready to be open to the world and work from a position of good will with all countries that are ready for mutually beneficial cooperation. have the resources you have that acknowledges. let us sit at the table and negotiate how we can move forward together. donald trump has arrived in new york before his court hearing on criminal charges related to his role in hush money payments to a former porn star. crowd have gathered near trump tower. as the former president prepares to go on trial, donald trumped arrived in new york in a private jet and was greeted by a crowd of supporters and the world's breast. he is to become the 1st former us president in history to face criminal charges. the president of our salvador says the prosecution of trump damages the u. s. moral high ground when it comes to

foreign policy. imagine if this happened to leading a position, presidential candidate here in el salvador, sedley, it will be very hard for u. s. foreign policy to use arguments such as democracy and free and fair elections, or tried to condemn political prosecution in other countries from now on. while often clamping down on domestic critics, the u. s. has repeatedly spoken out against similar cases and other countries. in 2021 state secretary anthony blank and condemned the convictions against opposition . politicians survey take on half sky and bellow roost. the u. s. is closely watching indian congress liter raoul gandhi's court case with the politician disqualified following his criminal defamation case against the indian prime minister. the united states has also strongly condemned the conviction of opposition leader alex no vonny in russia who was accused of large skill fraud and

other crimes. be continued to reiterate. our demand for his immediate and unconditional release from from being imprisoned over spurious charges after a sham trial, wrongly condemn the russian federations orchestration of a sham trial. to convict election of only and further spurious charges in sentencing him to 9 more years. and a high security prison, we have announced conclusions from an intelligence community assessment on the poisoning of alexi. no vonny. we have there's an ongoing review of other areas where we have ongoing concern. let's discuss our civil rights attorney, robert patillo work. welcome. robert. if a guilty verdict is passed against trump, what could this lead to against the background of the upcoming presidential elections in 2024? to very little in the case of president trump, primarily because this is a state level charge in the federal system we have in the us, you have the federal government had about the president. the attorney general

didn't have the state government, in this case, new york, being headed, headed by captain hoko. this prosecutor comes from a local district attorney on a what could be felony charge over the maximum of 4 years in prison? normally for a document start, there's no jail time and also in america, being committed to a felony does not stop you for holding federal or public office or loan running for president. so even president trump is convicted of this will not stop him from running for office. it will not really impact his campaign. many people on the conservative side of the i to say that they believe it helps his campaign going forward because he can play the victim card. i think they continue to be the victim political prosecution. so then what is this about if it's not going to hurt his chances in 2024? is this a distraction or what is this about? this is about president trump paid a prostitute about 7 years ago and then falsified documents in order to cover that up. and because of the nature of the american system, ah, he is not above the law. the fact that this property has taken this long, i think, to be more re cancel concern. and because in reality, this case should have come to trial long before he ever ran for president. the 1st

time of the idea that somehow this is orchestrated by his political adversaries doesn't really make sense on its face. this is more so present from being helped to account for some of the crimes committed. there are additional investigation against him in fulton county in the state of georgia which may be rico charge of organized crime. there's also been room jack smith investigation on the justice department, both on the documents and mar logo and on his evolve in january, sit. so present from his many legal issues coming to a head at the same time. i think the idea that this is somehow politically motivated doesn't really make sense because it's at the health and politically. yeah, and there have been multiple presidents that have done so many things in the united states that haven't received any sort of punishment, which is where this is coming from. but specifically, because of, as the president of salvador said it would be now difficult for the us to use arguments such as democracy and free and fair elections of broad. what is your take

on his criticism? while i think this on coming from the prison will salvador, who in the past 2 years as jailed over 62000 citizens in that country and eat 2 percent of the adult population that countries been imprisoned by this president. when it comes to this question of democracy abroad, i do, i think that you should have more of these sorts of prosecutions, not less of them. i think president bush george w bush should have put been put on trial for war crimes of his actions in iraq of the prison obama. i should have been held at o to account for his drone strikes on civilians. over the course of years, i think present reagan should have been held to account over iran. contra, we have to normalize qualities is not being shielded by office not being and shielded by status money or hike being in a high profile situation or rather hold them to account for the crimes they commit . am hoping this sister, president for president going forward to noted they are not above the law. right. this sets a president, but it's for hush money. and has the political bias of their prosecution then affected the investigation?

and how do you think this will affect the future of verdicts and how the laws are passed in terms of presidents? now, i don't think this lee, so want to leave political prosecution because of the political prosecution. they would have done in 2016 and stopped him for being president in the 1st place. and then i even the timing of been officials political, they would have indicted him and you know, september of 2024. right. and for the election and not in march of 2023, where there's over a year and a half of this. we adjudicated why i do think has to happen going forward is that we vet our president to better we have had far too many criminal listed president's american history for too many presidents that were the puppets of special interest that weren't sold out to the government that violated human rights to violate civil rights that have refused to address the means of american people. and i'm hoping that this sets the new president going forward. that as we vet positives and the latter half of the 21st century, we stop letting criminals to office and then we won't have to worry about them being prosecuted thereafter. now on the macro level,

how do you assess the actions of the united states which condemns the prosecution of opposition, politicians and other states. it is now starting its legal proceedings against its former leader. adding america have don't, are holding it itself to the same standards. they hold other governments will, in a figure such as president trump was tv arrives on another country, they will be decried by the state department. they would be all the way a pariah state by the international community, by the rules based order. and they would never be allowed to participate in the greater lose access of nations and economic forms that exist. but because president trump a former gang show host was able to get not a majority of the votes of america, but enough of the electoral college which is still broken, to become president american, became a laughingstock internationally. what we have seen, what happened will unilaterally pulled out of the iran nuclear deal, forcing iran and saudi arabia to go to china in order to get there are $21.00,

negotiate a piece we're seeing what has happened with the quote unquote america 1st mentality . that was put forward, which is or caused africa, most of the developing to be closer to the russian to india, to beijing. we have to start holding our own country to the same level of accountability that we would anybody else have any other development to start or letting game show host. we will, we will not treatment this level of respective dignity that we gave person trump. and we're now paying for the after effects of that going forward. and the fact that he was able to have central multiple prostitutes and pay them all for the course of a decade. and only come to account in 2023 instead of par to him of becoming a elected official shows the weaknesses of the american judiciary system, which should have stopped this from happening. civil rights attorney roberts. hello . thank you, robert. thank you. and that's our wrap for the hour. thanks for joining us for the latest breaking news and updates head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on all social media platforms. we'll see

a back at the top of the hour. ah, what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah

a very chavez, canada hasn't been very good. ha, to indigenous women and girls who have been missing or found murdered. because of the structural racism history, the cloning of history that canada has with indigenous people and communities. and it's so shameful history and a history that calendar doesn't like to talk about not until just to intrude those election in 2015 with it to boost colonization. finally

shattered her on being elected. prime minister, the young head of state, give a message to the 1st nations community working together timely the government of canada. sincerely apologize, us and asks the forgiveness of the aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them. so profoundly have to apologize and to residential school victims. the prime minister tackle the scandal from us for many decades. indigenous women and girls across canada have dis.
