2:02 pm
in the top can also be seen leaving the cafe off the blast. and he is the teacher of the presenting petoskey with the statue even being invited to join him up at the front. low, clear, if she knew that the bus contained the explosive device, according to the journalists, friends, the women had been like the woman rather had been acquainted with the victim. ality on call to break sound. how the events unfolded on a sunday evening like any other russian war correspondent, bloodline to tar sky was hosting an event centered around war zone journalism. here at this cafe, it was opened admission. anyone could have attended. and starsky told his audience of his stories of war around 6 15 pm, his life came to a sudden end after an explosion reduce the cafes interior to rubble. ah,
2:03 pm
she just took her to the foot usa today. 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 gun, according to eye witnesses, the explosion came from a small statue that a woman brought to the event a gift apparently intended for to tar ski. russia's 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
2:04 pm
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 one story, a trip of a admits to bringing an explosive statuette to tar skis event. do you understand why you have been detained? i am detained for being at the scene of flatland petoskey, killing. what have you done? i brought sachi, they 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
2:05 pm
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 of 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 risk 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. but let's not discuss these latest developments with the august journalist on dhl said daniel alazam and he, thanks for joining us on the program. this evening it's nice to see at so much sight to get your take on the, the latest information we have now an extreme, it's group based in ukraine and funded by a russian opposition only. god has taken responsibility. a full flatland petoskey, assassination at a cafe in saint petersburg. what's your take on that claim?
2:06 pm
i can't speak to it. i have no idea. ready that the claim is true, are all i knows of the ukrainian government, the claims of denials, involvement cannot be taken face value. the cleaning government lied about the involvement in the area to gain a case assassination. and so there's no reason to believe its claims to the contrary. in this case. and like you said, this was the same group which came to have orchestrated the killing of the russian journalist story. a duke and last september was will take on why russian reporters are now being fed game. well, you know why the big target is because they're, they're, they're just trying to snuff out propagandists to the home. they don't like. they are trying to broaden the war. take the war to rush itself. it's extremely dangerous from a u. s. point of view because the u. s. does not want to see this war widened.
2:07 pm
because if these groups of the ukrainian intelligence the s b, you continue exploding bombs inside russia than someone in russia may get the idea of blowing people up elsewhere in europe. if not ukraine itself. danny and poland or, or, or some other country. and that's very dangerous. it will cause the war to why the longer the war goes on, the greater the likelihood it will wide. so this is another step in that direction that they took and it was condemned by the west so far. no one has condemned this latest attack this assassination. do you think there will be condemnation from the west? there will probably be some kind of pro forma condemnation, i presume. but i presume also that the west has an idea present to us as an idea of what's going on, especially after the 2 genus estimation. look, there also are, there are also reports that are that elements of the associated with what ukraine
2:08 pm
intelligence were behind the. the nor string to bombing, you know, operating quite widely, engaged in all kinds of highly provocative, highly dangerous activities. and the usaa probably has an idea of what's going on, but is probably giving them some kind of license to kill the organizes of this particular event at this cafe in st. petersburg, they said they had security measures in place, but obviously they even, they admitted they weren't enough. or is it impossible to keep journalists safe? it's, it's very difficult because there are a lot of journalists operating in and a wide variety of circumstances. and journalists are not security experts, they're not skilled and on warding off assassinations or explosions. so therefore, it's, it's not all that difficult to catch a journalist unawares and kill them. so that seems to be what's happening here. but
2:09 pm
this is, this is an extraordinarily dangerous trend. needless to say. and one that will cause this, this, this entire violent next episode to grow and why double the cases of a double standard can be applied frequently. and in any sort of case. well, do you think the western reaction would have been if it had been a ukrainian war correspondent assassinated somewhere and what it would have been would have been overwhelming, would been filled with moral outrage with the one that when the west oxes gord then, then there's no holding back, the propaganda is turned of the full volume. in this case, i'm sure the, the criticism will be much more, much more subdued, and i suspect the u. s. has the idea of what's going on. so therefore, i think there's a very good chance the us is complicit in this ass, the nation can be included dispos itself from the killing of to task the cranium,
2:10 pm
president's office to deny danny in bozeman, however, the russian national antiterrorist committee has stated that the laws with plans by ukrainian special services they will take on these conflicting narratives. well, simply the ukraine as the cranium. the special service services have very little credibility after the diarrhea to gain episode where they also issued a, a total denial and it turned out to be false. so therefore their credibility is extremely low. i have no proof, they are involved, but i strongly suspect they were it's just clearly, you know, i mean there's a policy that goes all around, but the u. s. should have known better after the reactive case. it should have kept closer tabs on the, the s b, u clinton intelligence, and either it was incompetent and derelict and,
2:11 pm
and to not keep closer tabs or it has a fair idea of what's going on. and i suspect the ladder besides ukrainian special services, the russian committee states that there was also active involvement of agents. collaborating with alexis, val, knees, anti corruption foundation, which they made suspects. trip of us was elected, was he allegedly supported, she funded, she gave her money to this, this foundation. these obligations come as a surprise to you, the allegations don't. whether they're true or not, i have no idea. i mean, i'd be very, very careful before endorsing a charge like that. now, valving is issued h a, a full denial. i have no information pro or con as to whether that denial can be taken at face value or not. so that's all i can say. speaking to journalist and also daniel is all many thanks for joining us on the program. it's really great to get your thoughts and jordan functions tonight to thank you. thank you. ah rushes
2:12 pm
envoy to the un has condemned the absence of an international reaction to the mud of 8th. the prominent russian journalists thank international journalist associations demonstrates a certain selective nist how his words came as the un secretary general's office. they expressed concern of it not flattened to toss. he's death to get more on the story. and the latest updates on the st. petersburg explosion by visiting our website. auto dot com. i'm taking you to new york city now why donald trump has been formally placed under arrest off to a pair and get them at a manhattan courthouse, is making the 1st former us precedent to face criminal charges outside. both his supporters and opponents have gathered trump. his report to be facing dozens of felony charge is both falsifying records connected to alleged hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels, the former president denies any wrong doing. let's hear the latest now from our
2:13 pm
correspondent who joins us from outside. the new york courthouse. caleb many thanks for joining us. how are things unfolding us so far? was the atmosphere like outside the courthouse? well, we are here outside the courthouse and we understand that donald trump is inside. now his arraignment has not started yet. but donald trump, i will be rang, he is in the building. now they did let him enter through the back. so he didn't have to go through the crowds of protesters and others. and we are outside the building where there is an army of police, an army of barricades and thousands and thousands of protesters, those supporters of donald trump and opponents of donald trump and the helicopters of the police are flying above. this is quite a center of action here in lower manhattan outside the manhattan district,
2:14 pm
criminal court. now we under dan and donald trump will be appearing before the judge and he will be hearing the charges against him. that's what goes on at an arraignment. and he carrying a not guilty plea to those charges now anxious to see what those charges actually are. we understand that there are $33.00 different felony charges that donald trump will be facing, all of which stem from an alleged affair with the pornographic film star. storing daniels and a lead hush money that was paid to were alleged fraudulent, fraudulent recording of such financial transactions. everyone's waiting to see what these 33 different felonies that the former president are being hit with are now this is totally unprecedented. never before has a u. s president ever faced criminal charges after leaving office and it was a really big important moment when the n y p. d assumed custody of donald trump and trump was taken out of the care of secret service. now we understand he's not being
2:15 pm
processed like a normal person who's being charged with a crime would be he's not being fingerprinted. he's not having a mug shot, but he is in the court room in the court area in police custody and will be standing before the judge. now donald trump has repeatedly said he considers this to be nothing but election. interference is an attempt to prevent him from running for reelection as president in 2024. how many people are looking on and arguing that they are very well may be the case, but others are pointing out that there is no law that says one can't run for president f one has a criminal record. so donald trump could still run for president, even if you were convicted on all these charges. there have been a number of individuals who run for president from jail cells before and this has gone on now, trump would not be able to vote for himself as those who are currently serving sentences or convicted of crimes are usually borrowed from participating in voting that depends on the state one of donald trump's opponents, but also all the nearby st. been blocked off and given 2 protesters out of work in
2:16 pm
neither of the 2 cages. so we're hearing the police helicopters above. we understand donald trump is inside. we're waiting to hear what happens when it goes before the judge, where there's a rang that hearing. this is a historic day and manhattan, no question about it. donald trump is facing charges after being indicted by the grand jury. here in the manhattan district, i will be interesting to see how all of this plays out. many thanks to keep me updated now, thought either caleb morgan speaking to his at live from new york on this historic day. the when human rights council has adopted a draft resolution introduced by as a by john, which states that unilateral coercive measures violate human rights with 33 members voting in favor of it. 13 against the ant mexico abstaining on western members of the council including the u. s refused to recognize the negative effects of such sanctions. the vote took place in geneva with members from the global south
2:17 pm
speaking out in fade, not intended to hon. ordinary people, as if by johnny and ever trained. representative said, unilateral measures are used as a tool for political pressure and to undermine economic progress. the lol i'm movement at it's a t summit in 2019 re to re, to be movements objection to all your lateral course with measures including those measures used as tools for political or economic and financial met, pressure against any country in particular, against developing countries which wireless, the charts of the united nations rules and principles of international law, your level of function, the thought brutal and in he meant by that of it in it. and they collectively punish and undermine and mission of socio economic progress. while our color ma hartwright, a former indian ambassadors who armenia and george as they say, sanctions imposed by one country influence other is not related to us. if a dog sanctions have to be imposed by expired reasons,
2:18 pm
the sanctions must come from the united nations approved by the international community. it makes absolutely no sense what i mean, neutral kind of to impose, you really, truly sanctions on any country for what they want to be the reasons why. because the same shows apart from not being legal. they also have you know, cascading effect on countries which have nothing to do with it. you know, what example it is a sanction imposed by america on russia. then be expecting the, i'm a little bit confused, also follow those sections. i'd, if they don't follow, then they also this being in the sense that then senses will also automatically apply to them. and they have resulted in a food supplies, you know, creating conditions of food security in poor countries. so therefore,
2:19 pm
has all along followed a policy that we do not approve of your electron sanctions imposed by one country or a set of countries on other countries. but you really don't think so. i'm not going to work. and these are not acceptable as much as the interventions of buy one country into the other countries with the intention of regime change out for other purposes. i was thinking, you know, it's in the middle east where the kristian community is also reporting a stain, growing oppression of the heart of 3 major religions, jerusalem, a sing, and a matching crisis with christians reporting a rising number of hate crimes ortiz maria. the notion of a pose 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 patrick he has warned, ah,
2:20 pm
a reportedly rising number of hate crimes and incitement against followers of jesus is pushing them further way. despite the efforts of the church or through the in 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 stones. so they are the livings not the storm by themselves. father isa a palestinian orthodox priest, told me he was more than once. spat on by young jewish sat there is on the streets of the old city of jerusalem. just we're wearing cross the patriarch. he believes that the violent youth have masters with messiah syndrome behind them, including from those close to the new israel government. as new minister as have come from parties with an ultra nationalist and religious conservative ideology,
2:21 pm
they shall know this and may i go and the let those so radical groups do whatever they want. i mean, when you see young people 50 in 60 years old and they do all sorts of things there, mcafee, they have their masters, behave, those know the repose. they are awesome. but then listen, the end of the men dorothy cooper for them. though, while christians are under pressure and leaving the hell, the land are mass, israel extremist groups are responsible, father isa says the israeli logical groups, or try to feel or to take over the cushions, areas and to kick. actually the questions from these area and to keep it for all the visuals we need father isa, near the imperial hotel at the entrance to the old cities, christian quarter stocks away from iconic, jaffa gate. there faulty room,
2:22 pm
1800 square meter majestic building, belong to greek orthodox church since the end of the 19th century and was always a symbol of the christian presence. here, however, at cover a deal almost 20 years ago. so their property sold to these rarely zionist group who has worked to establish a jewish majority in and around jerusalem for a paltry sum of $1250000.00. the man who signed the paper from the churches side has been on the run ever since wilder than patrick, who gave him power was dismissed shortly after the controversial sale that launched a year's long legal battle over its ownership and identity the most. now the hotels palestine into building is far from just the proper to dispute, and the matter is political at heart. the fine in both. maria is to keep each of these and in say, the old city and devote the christians and muslims from the will ship. it and once these people will dominate that with talk over this short then although i have
2:23 pm
a legal conflict for another 3 generation, i don't see any more christians living inside the old city. the greek orthodox is the largest and wealthiest church and the hell the land has controls. massive real estate holdings stating back hundreds of years. is there really a reason to worry? they pay tricky and johnny say yes. as draping water hallows out town, they think god is dead. but the g. god gave them the land. god give them belinda. funny. i lead the people got well, they don't care is god the realist statement would be is there to give lance dr. do about it, and this is in the back of them mind. they think they came back to jerusalem of 2000 fears at erica her name. her executive director i interviewed, is behind a big number of property deals in and around old city, including the imperial hotel. its mission is to strengthen jewish roots and
2:24 pm
materialize a dream of jewish people who wanted to come back to jerusalem for 2000 years. it's never been the capital of any other country, any other so called nation. we are the pete, this is our country. this is we are the indigenous people here. and so it will remain for eternity. years of activity of a terika, her name has turned ho quarter into predominantly jewish neighborhoods which poses 0 threat to other face. the director says, i think too much as they made out of the concept of christians. the greek orthodox church owns lots of property. they buy and sell property all the time. the christians aren't lucy at all. in fact, i think the christians are any winning because both christians muslims and jews will be able to have beautiful hotels one day that they'll be able to say. and that is exactly what christian and muslim communities find hard to believe. there are, some of them has historically been a town of 3 religions. it's old city where i am now has christian muslim and jewish quarters for now. fears are that if things continue developing the way they
