relations with russia and a russian t $72.00 tank of the euro volunteer battalion takes on a fortified ukrainian position. the task was to keep them busy. person forces advanced near the borders of the guns republic as fighting on the front lines gains with school to the world. you're watching aussie international. my name is peter scott, and these are the top stories this hour at 2 pm on wednesday. thanks for joining us . i was ready, security forces have attacked hundreds of palestinian worshippers in jerusalem's arc some mosque, enjoying dozens of those who had come to pray during the holy month of ramadan. now the incident spots an immediate reaction and an exchange of strife between israel and palestine. local journalist nick collier, he explains the reasons behind the violence and shows details on the recent events

. the the riley police day, the day about 300 people. it's been according to them, some of them where are some of them, but most of them in there are those dates and they started those last just the game against the police as they say, the police game to speak with them. and they rarely probably now feels to be said tonight, the holy toledo or a new throw. and the rage of about 9 rockets were fired to get the 3 into rally. is that the wrong thing to get the strip? and then now it's the school and to, to ation and everybody waiting to see what will happen in the coming, howard folks,

the unit of the idea is riley army. they are saying that phyllis being in that cloud drug, it's really premium. so they're the most guy here, the 3rd day, how late the movement started, the at that on there just depends rarely, rarely barbara, trying to keep here at the school situation. so of course, the official comment is that israel is doing everything to make the stand the piece, but some people in the public, they think that the current government is too much right to be much extremist as fanatic and making the situation on that one step before and not the round, both escalation and maybe even the war example of finance, which is rarely police days, that there was some kind of agreement. well,

it's been and says, shouldn't stay on the temple mount sacked more during the night time and they are welcome. during the day prayer hollow and hundreds of thousands of seniors actually can make the pray sealants were afraid and actually found jews that were arrested there. and they were afraid that the jews will sacrifice that gotten lambs as part of that jewish tradition. and it's that again said the grim it stimulates ensured that on this how we pledged just the loose bag can pray. and jews can only be the during the times that the israeli police allow them it's in the morning time usually. yeah, that's what happens according to most sides of palestinian political. unless mohammed not jib says the palestinian society is on good by israel's actions and

will continue its resistance. this is a dangerous situation and it is i get among seniors and those bank and joseph and we'll gather spread everywhere. because today evening talks of the jewish bus over on a day and is going to close all those bank and gaza strip for about us tonight. so no one can. i do a lot at the same time as groups it into it's not putting animals inside the lock. so for their holiday, which will give the students and make it very difficult situation. so the senior decided, you know, wash the bus, decided to stay inside a lock set to protect a lock. so any storms and any addition by the side or during the closer that's going to enforce evening. well, you want to evacuate. alexa, from the washing by falls as we learn, they are listed more than 500, but it just doesn't use force against them. so which was the

general principle from us in guys? and we have to recall that 2 years ago, it was between us and because it is a 2nd law so. so a lot is a very sensitive issue for that was in this visually, this month of ramadan would love to sell on those back and it doesn't exist even in gas. and that's also the most dangerous guess. engaged in this. it will. why do the cycle of violence the lead for more security? the creation of the situation made those rising tensions between the jewish on palestinian communities. these are ligaments has authorized the creation of a national guard, the following proposals by security minister. it's been given to deal with unrest in palestinian communities in the region. now the decision on surprisingly how spot concerns among israeli politicians as well as the public. the initiative was lord's

last week when his reli prime minister benjamin netanyahu agreed to go ahead with the security minister's proposal actually botched the delay of the controversial judicial reform. amid nationwide protest, the god is expected to consist of almost 2000 personnel and receive a budget of over $270000000.00. now the exact powers of the new force ought to be defined in weeks by a committee made up of israel security agencies, members of both the jewish and our communities of expressed mixed reactions to the proposal on them shall i hope it won't happen to give angry or a private army, just to use it against citizens. he's just madness, although it's intended to deal with the arab sector. and then with these philosophy and worldview can very quickly turn against any citizen in israel. don't let this man have a loaded gun because the meaning of this is that he will use it against anyone who disagrees with him, or it has not been vers private army. that is the private army of the state of israel. men covers the initiator that said it's for all kinds of fries, rape cases,

all kinds of protection for governance. he just for special missions, we see a lot of trouble here. it's a mixed population. there is a lot of crime there, isn't it for protection. so marshall no mishma boundary or probably wants to take power soon. she might do it. and he's preparing for himself an army that could save him from the situation, and the same young people that voted for ban. greer will soon stand up and protest against the cost of living and how seen, but they do not have. and these militia will beat them up well in is typically flamboyant, fashioned for me as president. donald trump has predicted the demise of america as a great power, and he's pointed the finger at the biden administration that comes just hours after he pleaded not guilty to $34.00 charges that could land him a 130 years behind bars. it would have been in our favor that my favor, our favor, because our country is going to hell. it's an insult to our country as the world is

already laughing at us for so many other reasons, like our open borders are incompetent withdrawal from afghanistan, the most embarrassing time. in our country's history, in my opinion, economy that has been crippled by the biggest inflation we have seen in more than 60 years. our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world's standard, which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years. there will be no defeat like that that will take us away from being even a great power will. meanwhile, president biden had nothing to say on tom's court case with his staff seeing off journalist to ask questions on the subject i flew with

. well, archie correspondent, caleb morphine has been reporting on trump's legal proceedings near the court in manhattan. well, history was ne, near in new york city at the manhattan criminal court. we saw for the 1st time american history, a former president was taken into court and charged with crimes. now donald trump was hit with $34.00 felony charges, all of them for falsifying business records. and this is related to a ledge. tosh money being paid to pornographic films, star stormy daniels as well as a door man and the magazine that she was employed by. that's the allegation that was made. now donald trump and his team say, this is purely election interference. this is about trying to prevent him from successfully winning the presidency in 2024. and donald trump's legal team called this a sad day. donald trump came to the court house and it was a special arrangement. the secret service arranged for donald trump to briefly go

into the police custody appear before the judge enter. he is not guilty plea and then leave the court house and it was certainly not like any other criminal proceeding. ah, we didn't have a situation where the former president had a mug shot i was not fingerprinted. here's what donald trump had to say about the charges that had been brought against him and his arraignment. and today's court proceedings is okay. yeah. they attacked me with an onslaught of fraudulent investigations, russia, russia, russia, ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, impeachment hoax, number one, impeachment hoax number to the illegal and unconstitutional rate on mar, logo right here. so we shall just have to see how this proceeds. but this was a historic day for donald trump. i went for the judge, the 1st former president to ever face criminal charges. already

a host on political commentator, steve gill says the trunk case is only a short destruction for the body and ministration. shit to shift attention away from a series of fitting. domestic on foreign policies has been trumps. predictions are all based upon the the, the voters that america allowing joe biden the by did ministration and the radical democrats to continue to remain in power. we're seeing the damage, the joe biden has done to america's status in the world, to our economy here at home. i think we're going to see that this will be a short term distraction to be american people. again, it will be covered by the media. you'll hear the democrats lethally talk about being indicted, but this will not distract the long term from the fact that americans are feeling pain in their pocket books. gas prices are still way too high, thanks to the by energy policies. inflation is still running out of control thanks to the bite and economic policies. our border is still wide open. thanks to the buying policies that have no use of illegals flooding across our borders. our

cities are still less safe than ever. how speak, kevin mccarthy labeled the proceedings an act of political vengeance against the former president with the top republican figures also voice and support for trauma . the court case has drawn comparisons to the contrast between washington's reaction to trans prosecution and the condemnation of the conviction of russian opposition figure alex in a volley. it was accused of a large scale for one of the crimes nations which he denied was labeled a political prisoner by the us. be continued to reiterate our demand for his immediate then unconditional release from from being imprisoned over spurious charges after a sham trial, wrongly condemn the russian federation orchestration of a sham trial. to convict election of only and further spurious charges and sentencing him to 9 more years. and a high security prison think again, it shows the dual system of justice that the by the justice department has put in

place here in the united states. there is actually a lot more basis for the prosecution of devali than there is for president donald trump. you know, they're claiming this to be a 130140 years in jail while that, of all the trial actually has some meat on the bones, actually have some specifics that are, are not being recognized by the, by the ministration. and again, i think it shows a severe double standard to get more on the arrest that made history. check out the full analysis of what we know so far about the trunk case over all websites, policy dot com. what's the phone lines in dom bus now where russian troops are on the offensive in little guns republic targeting the ukranian military with high precision artillery and heavy rocket launchers. a physician sang something, a pivotal role in the bustle around the town of trim in a me and i, a season where i guess the reports from the ground. we must warn you that some of the images are disturbing. the land around the grim and naya is rent and scarred

by almost half a year of fighting. it continues, night and day these he's but one episode ah, a russian t $72.00 tank of the euro volunteer battalion takes on a fortified ukrainian position. the task was to keep them busy, was to be like a mother. we were told that some of our troops just to the right of the ukrainians, had become traveler. there were several killed and injured and they couldn't move by curated because of the crossfire doesher. all joe was to suppress the crown in position or was it out as a group my tank into infantry fighting vehicles. the ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries who there are plenty of here, were waiting for them. no sooner had they arrived that an r p g round impacted on the barrel of the tank. it would be the soldier's last ever shot. it is kill or be killed. no quarter is given the t

72 and its commander cache gave the entrenched ukrainians no opportunity to fire back. the next tag crowd takes out 3 more troops. shell off to shell, decimate the ukrainian position. tags are the bane of infantry and are one of the most feared weapons on the battlefield. this is why i'm you do another one which we had to help the injury. the critically injured, the guys had legs missing. the manics ran around and little vest trying to help them and i'm in a huge tank. well protected milligram danger doesn't come into it. time cruise are almost always highly superstitious folk it. it comes with being the prod, dog it on almost any battlefield. they were lucky and our pg shell round rockets can, i did say it's a tag at the right angle in this case. the r b g round hip,

the bow t shrapnel or over the place, but it caused no significant damage. look my meal closely at the hospital. all i remember was a bright flash. the thermal disappear on the ball was torn apart. so you are lucky, more than lucky, god is not side. and so it goes, but terrible grinding war of attrition. that is reshaping the very geographical landscape, same sheens duplicated for hundreds of kilometers. and when this ends, the world will have changed to more at gazda of r, t from logan screeching to run has condemned a year and human rights council resolution. the criticize the country for a deterioration of civil liberties in the nation. i ran responded saying that those who violate laws are in no position to judge. it's a bad habit by some member states to exploit the un mechanisms for their political

goals. countries that themselves violate the rights of other nations, cannot place claimants or judges of the human rights situation. the main points of concern expressed by the human rights council were in relation to claims of an increase in the numbers of executions as well as crackdowns on protesters following the death of a young woman while in police custody of them on this. let's cross live now to you hamid reza golem. the day a political analyst from terror on thanks so much for joining us this afternoon. and 1st of all, i just want to get your reaction to that resolution by the you and human rights council. thank you very much for almost a hardly for us to actually see such politicized resolutions and statements by the un council. and it began many years ago when they

began to actually designate someone as a special reporter for human rights discreation in iran. and that person has only one anti iran, anti government, and someone who is totally biased again. and they want right now we actually never talk to official, never talked to pro government activities and it goes only to people who are against the the structure. i guess the abolition, i mean your so the reform the produce at the every content that he has is totally against just bias and not based on the tracks. we have a lot of people and we have a lot of achievement days. you're there and they just adhere to negative that they can be wrong based on that. this is illusion is outcome of those reports that

having produced that way. and what are most, all the facts i've seen a report by i'm seeing just now saying that we're around, i think 94 executions in january and february it's not. busy report not true. of course, actually david accused that we had regarding the, the honest that we had last year a was if i'm running was the thing is on one hand. so it did that. those numbers are totally fabrication. it has in iran, were mainly an army yesterday because of the drug dealers and that is just for cause out and your car. and i got that. well, it's interesting. speaking must be his story off the years he's against, want you on the change on the policy and the regulation in order to reduce

the level of punishment for drugs. and people who have just a few amount of drugs are not being executed anymore. he was in the past and we did change up to that 90 percent of the the fusion was immediate and was reduced. so they admitted that they never actually admired that. and they just got an fabricated numbers. so these figures that mention is totally wrong and they are using it, it was actually what happened yard as well, the numbers and the information that was published. where is this information? there were some, some, some rules why, for example, the so called human rights campaign in iran or esteem in your, in groups that are be funded by the united states are being funded by national

enrollment for them up for the us a special education offer. we opened the records and they are actually promoting what the americans want and you're not using the united nation for its own benefit for each one before they decide being united nations. and it's probably just, let's just remember how basic ratio on the same counts for publishing. and of course, against the, the situation of women in united states, again, the regime. yet you bite land unless i and the apartments that they are doing there. but when it comes to you on how to wash ice, totally different when it comes to china, i suppose i did. so that's the, let's say, a standard at united nation ease and promoting because the pressure receiving bonding as well. i mean, dress,

you answered so comprehensively that we won't have time for 2 questions, i'm afraid, but thank you very much for your thoughts and your time says, how me dresser, columns. i did political analysts. thank you very much. well the you has again lecture china on his moral duties with europe's top diplomat threatening beijing with worsening relations as the country. it strengthens the ties with moscow. is a clear expectation from a permanent member of the security council to stand up in defense of international rules, racial order. and china as a moral duty to contribute to a fair piece that can not be siding with the aggressor. they cannot be meter, today's reporting, the aggression this is our message to china. the statement came so that the china embraced russia's new foreign policy, struck to do this as to strengthen his partnership with new delhi on beijing. the

chinese foreign minister expressing readiness to jointly address he global challenges. julie sambo do, should you, china rush and india are all imagine powers with significant influence against the backdrop of profound and calmed exchange in the international and regional situation. we are ready to strengthen communication with russia indian now the members of the international community descended positive signal of upholden genuine multilateralism enjoined les tress and global challenges we are. the statements of the chinese foreign ministry spokesman followed moscow adopting its new foreign policy concept. the strategy sets to strengthen and deepen relations with china and india as rushes diplomatic priority. benjamin chow. he's a professor at the southwestern university of finance and economics in china says that the 3 countries want to stand up to washington's bid to de globalize the world . and to address global issues together, i think as

a signal to the well above multilateralism, a boy and more of a balance. well, i believe up a more prom responses to the real challenges to well is facing today. i think the main direction in prospect fall for so chinese cooperation is about a more direct response to global challenges. now we're seeing that there is a po, trade cam and there was this can lead by addition in the united states that he's showing a clear trend of equalization, which could feel wars as trays are more segregated and worries becoming more serious on india and china should not leg the boundary issue, a factor overall bilateral relationship. so the message is low and korea the have or the exchange views about the border issues and have express we'll to work together to improve the relationship. staying with china, the french president macro has arrived in beijing where he'll be accompanied by the

commission president of the visit, a theme of an attempt to woo china. as beijing deepens, ties with india and russia, while western powers try to drive a wedge between them as he contributed rachel marston has more french president, a menu. and nicole is visiting china from april 5th to 7th, and it said the invitation of chinese president, she's in pain. and president, she probably didn't have to ask twice, either a welcome relief from the relentless anti mac hold pension reform protests in paris and across france. no doubt kind of like being given the opportunity to take a break from your house. fire. yes, please me right over. so who's he bree along. his favorite school arm. no, not the former high school drama teacher, he married bridget. but ursula underline european commission president and self appointed global haul monitor. and also some 60 french executives specifically from

industry, like in a case he did of hall sir, or the if water management company in vidalia, the multinational rail company, austin, which has longstanding joint ventures with china. and also the european aerospace multinational airbus, which has been talks recently over a jet order for china. now at some point, my cool and europe really need to land some dark on the board as far as trade deals, especially in the wake of washington's new protectionist measures ushered in with abided ministrations, inflation reduction act, which essentially favors american industry to the detriment of it's european competitors, so on one hand, mac ho needs some economic wins, but on the other, he reportedly wants to try to convince china to influence russia's actions in ukraine. it's not like europe or my coal could be bothered to influence washington's actions in ukraine in the interest of securing peace, though they just blindly followed washington's anti russian agenda even to their

own economic detriment. but now they want to drag china into this whole mess, which it has managed so far to just side step in terms of any kind of involvement. mack, who may try to turn on the good old french charm during this visit. but with vander, line unto that's probably showing up at a dinner party with someone who can't stop publicly bad mo thing. you and your choice of friends ah, on being put off by the atrocious and illegal invasion of ukraine. president, she is maintaining his no limits, friendship with putin. china has now turned the page on the area of reform, an opening and is moving into a new era of security and control. leave a cheer up top unelected bureaucrats to substitute diplomacy for virtue. secondly,

rhetoric, not sure how attacking someone before arriving on the doorstep is going to grease the skids for future cooperation. but china offered to help vander, line say, face replying, that she didn't even write the words that were coming out of her mouth. that speech contained a lot of misrepresentation and misinterpretation of the chinese policies and the chinese positions. on the one side, she realizes that it is important for europe, and it is in the interests of europe to engage with china. and at the same time, she's also fearful of the criticism. yeah, it isn't european leaders false that they lack the backbone to withstand washington's pressure, to the detriment of europe's own interests. it's all like that's their actual job or at his he. but making statements suggest that china knows that the rhetorical lunacy and skits of framing are coming from european officials, stems from the desire to keep washington onside on one hand, but also to maintain ties with china as even bonder line herself,

concedes we need to focus on di risk, not the couple. we must leave space for discussion on a more ambitious partnership and on how we can make competition, sarah, and more disciplined. so for all the criticism level at china, the fact is that mccoy vander line are set to meet with various high level chinese officials on this visit, including the chinese premier and the chairman of the chinese national legislature . so all the nasty rhetoric in the world really can't mask the fact that despite washington's anti china ambitions, beijing is still one of europe's top trading partners. and that's why we're seeing european leaders on these recent field trips to beijing during the.
