a woman brought to the event a gift, apparently intended for to tarkey rushes. investigative committee said it was looking into this incident as a murder and the police were on a manhunt to find the woman in question. media reports began to suggest that the main suspect in the case was a woman by the name of daria trap of a, someone 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 trip 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 skis 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 that exploded those who gave it to you. 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 keeps agents had killed another high profile russian journalist. daria do gonna, with these civilian assassinations piling up and the west, turning a blind eye to key of 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 rushes onward to the un has condemned the absence of an international reaction to the murder of a prominent russian journalist. saying international journalists associations demonstrate a certain selective ness. his words came as the un secretary general's office, express it's concern over blad lengthened tars is death to get more on the story and get the latest updates on the st. petersburg explosion. visit our website at r t dot com. ah rushes you and envoy has defended the country security council presidency for this month, saying that moscow's critics are defined the established world order up held by the united nations itself, the ceiling. benzine laid out the agenda and answered questions from journalists during a media conference in new york. some companies of pretending they can decide for their own will who,

who they want or do not want to be in the chair of the president. so the security council, as long as the current world war, the with the u. m, and the security council stance, there will be no change in the rules of procedure. well, as was stated, russia is a permanent member of un security council. as the 15 member by that leads the united nations, and as a permanent member, they have the right to aim rotating position as president of the council. however, a recurring theme in question is directed to the russian ambassador and anthea was whether or not russia could legitimately hold this position. now, reporter after reporter seemed to push forward the notion that somehow russia does not have the right to do what every other member of the security council can do and assume the presidency, the counsel in a rotating position for a mom. the u. s. expect russia to be spreading

disinformation about ukraine? in fact we, we, we think just the opposite. now actually, many media outlets already started suspected that russia is going to abuse the presidency of the security council. my think the, these articles on these opinions, so rather a gesture of despair rather than something serious and venerable. can you understand? normal citizens feel offended that a country can share the security council when it's leader is under arrest, warrant by the i. c. besides being stupid, so let's put to think straight. now, that is also also, and he legitimate decision meals. now 0, nothing to i. and i sing that those that encourage the decision perhaps there. what do they do now in addition to the complex

a complete repetition of these questions about whether or not russia had the right to speak before the council and to be the president for the month of april. the questions got even more ridiculous at one point, many people quoted me in the last months had nightmare sometimes about nightmare about nuclear war. did you have any nightmare lately about that as well? because i know that at least us, we're not asking for the nuclear war. one of nuclear world is old is not a to the she's threatening the world to the nukes. but he's a part of a propaganda as well. now the press conference did go on for over an hour, and despite these ridiculous questions being directed at the ambassador from russia, there were a number of important points that were discussed. among them was the international

sporting body and their efforts to isolate russia. another thing that was discussed was russia's increasing move away from the dollar as a currency in global trade and the rise of alternative currencies and the alternative economy. and in addition to that, there was talk about the grain deal and how the united states has not been fully cooperative. and not really living up to its words when it comes to working with russia to make sure the grain is delivered. so quite an important press conference . russia will be leading the un security council for the month of april, despite loud western objections that was the opening of rushes presidency for the month. the former ceo of lafarge a syrian based french construction materials company has revealed the french intelligence service, infiltrated the firm to continue activities in syria, and collaborated with terrorist groups like isis in order to do so. we learned that

there was a special relationship between the french state, 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 terrorists. 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 of the country until finally

shutting down its factory in columbia, aleppo in september 2014, been situation bad oxide. paradoxical situation had a reason explained gaves dusky app called 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, found french intelligence, lac informants. of course, everything has a cost and avoiding the mediaeval 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. soon as i had the information about these people, i would pass it on to the services i was sending them ron formation. i do not filter the information. i was passing it to intelligence services. i told them everything. remarkably, these e mails also revealed that in 2014,

the french government had even asked the united states not to bomb the la fires 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 investment 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 innocent french civilians and paris. another conveniently ignored truth, is that why willing to levy a $778000000.00 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 one person has been killed and doesn't injured

after a passenger train carrying around 60 people, they're railed in the netherlands. the incident occurred as the train collided with construction equipment about 8 kilometers north of the hague. video footage shows several carriages derailed on their side. one carriage is reported to have caught fire. emergency services are currently working on the scene at the least developed countries conference and could tar. the president of the central african republic gave a scathing speech toward the wes treatment of his country 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 anywhere was to live in unsafe condition. second is a good you, what i can say, and all central ever helped us was still face armed formations, insurgencies and rebels. this cd defeat president todd

darrow decided to request assistance from a number of friendly countries who were ready to help us deal with the armed formations in 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 that held the central african republic. armed forces repels the armed formations and drive and surgeons from the republics territory. this alliance is i would call it with russian. rwanda allowed 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 rhonda, our army controls most of the land, who 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 country's development to morrow, not to go to our so our cooperation with what was then the ussr, wilster's, engineers and teachers. we want to revive that system because all this crisis rebellions,

wars have created massive setbacks and human resource development. our work and creating universities, facilities of higher education, high schools dispenser is hospitals, infrastructure areas in 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. news i don't, i think like we count in use and acknowledged that would allow us to use our natural reaches. we're glad to have you ever cannot understand very well this c a r with present fust and arcadia 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, i have the resources you have that acknowledges. let us sit at the table and

negotiate how we can move forward together to civilians have reportedly been killed after missile strikes by the israeli air forces near damascus. the attacks come against the backdrop of a ron's recently vow to avenge the killing of its military advisors in syria after the air strike on friday. and iranian military adviser died at the scene. and another later, so come to his wounds in the hospital, her on branded the attack a terrorist act, which will not go unanswered. israeli air force reporter leave bob targets in syria several times over the past month. the syrian government says another israeli strike injured at least 5 soldiers on sunday. jerusalem has not commented on the incidents. israel has long been targeting iranian length sites in syria. koran has been a key ally of damascus since the outbreak of the syrian conflicts in 2011 jerusalem

claims to be targeting iranian weapons smuggled into syria. which tron has denied iranian professor full and is adi says the israeli government is distracting its own people from domestic unrest or tricks. not sonya who is benefiting, who has a lot of internal problems. i think he's kind of put anything. that's the only way you can get out of his internal problems is by creating the confrontation with another. see with the city of some of the place. you know, this is a vac. the scenario that sometimes americans also utilize when you have domestic problems, create a lot of fun attacking. and even in country they have to say until they called on heights for many decades. and listen, governments not only do not condemn any aggression,

not only they don't raise issues with this type of illegal behavior that actually supporting israelis. but even in patients, i think is going to have limitations. so sooner or later, you may decide to change course, maybe decide to flee, respond to this type of regression, and that's not going to be good for support. there's in the former president of the self proclaimed republic of coast of old has she thought she has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. he appeared in court at the hague earlier on monday, along with 3 co defendants. the suspects are accused of atrocities including the killing of more than 100 people during the kosovo independence war from 1998 to 1999. thought she was

of 3 major religions. jerusalem is seeing an emerging crisis with christians reporting a rising number of hate crimes. r t 's. maria financial reports from the city. o jerusalem, heart of the holy land, where jesus is believed to have been born and preached without christians. thus, a gloomy, still far away, but likely scenario the greek orthodox patriot, he has warned, ah, a reportedly rising number of hate crimes at incitement against followers of jesus is pushing them further way. despite the efforts of the church. but through the and dangerous many people, christians are leaving the country, leaving good jerusalem. and we don't want to came to the place as a museum. we wanted to keep it alive and they call the christians community in beth, i'm or in jerusalem, or in any part of the holy land. i call them the living stores. so they are the livings not the storm by themselves. father isa a palestinian orthodox priest,
