a free nation wide pro pat problem discusses the ukranian conflict on his visit to china. we have the impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country. a new presidential, hopeful from the us democrats, robert kennedy calls america's foreign policy in abject failure. echoing rival party candidate donald trump, was by my back. got it with our go where you get to your credit, held that with our teeth correspond it follows russian forces as a push ukrainian troops back from 2 strategic towns in a good morning for moscow. this is art international with the latest world news updates. i'm fiorella, isabel,

it's great to have you with us. we start with breaking news is railey military has launched several air strikes against garza falling recent strikes, coming from the palestinian administration and lebanon, reportedly in retaliation for israel. ok, so raids on worshippers. ah, here are the latest images of the rocket strikes in garza no casualties have been reported. israel says it targeted hamas training sites and underground complex is used for weapons manufacturing. ah, and here are the latest pictures from neighboring lebanon. where is there a claims it hit terrorist infrastructure, but local media outlets reported a palestinian refugee camp came under fire. some of the rockets damaged civil

infrastructure. ah, really. meanwhile, israel's missile defense systems have been activated. it is really settlements bordering gaza with multiple rockets intercepted earlier benjamin netanyahu said israel's enemies will pay a price for their actions regarding the russian against us on other fronts. we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price for any active aggression. and our enemies will discover again, that at moments of truth, the citizens of israel stand united and unified and back the actions of the i, d f, and the other security services to defend our country and our people, mcgee, mccook. earlier i spoke to israeli and palestinian journalist to understand the reasons behind the strikes and their potential consequences goes on say they know cut her didn't and gather manley,

them women and children. they lived and witnessed betty. it did odor in my day i meant did behavior exclusions. yeah. around did them in all the gather areas and it is the norm bit handle name data. and if it is a it would continue if it continues, it's a tag. say again together i pain game, maybe hamas will also at that kid, is it a list? it is. but there i'm to now and how monster gives a chance for the mediators name it's mission. you have to cut that and maybe they can push out as i say, that again, say guys. and then they can a do a they can be they can reach here. i see it's i with the kind of

mediator are the latest attacks on gaza and lebanon. justified i think that that is there as things for on the side that they should do something because if it will not strike then the next time there will be more violence that israel sees it against that. and because of that striking, this is their best chance that these reli public, which tends to forget all the problems and to unite when they have a military operation or a war miserably. other problem, it's leaving all kinds of minorities rather than has their own struggles and israeli problem that was so angry at these riley government, the rise now to do this of your whole day, did you show the system that would need that threat from being only the thing they may use to some time those that she could, we see an escalation into a large scale war,

who in your opinion would be the possible allies of both palestine and israel. if such a conflict does take place, i actually am asked to lies a mainly on iran as well. and even on all the muslim is let me get word to support the bit of dns at the best people and who consider that there's a lot of holly to places for them. so, and now how my say, how much i'm you had, they also understand it. it's like to see, did it collected in collecting on it a lot in the world like iran and like a law in yemen. and nick, southern lebanon is also known to be, has an area of influence with the group. also be a major ally of a ron. it seems like i ship with palestinians is building in the arab world. what

kind of impact could this have on tensions in the region route for many years? try not to make you know, a good relationship between all the different groups of me and so that they try to sell the draw blame of god, say alone, west bank alone. the been on the lawn theory, iran and now it looks like all those places are coming together and what they think they're move. and israel try to avoid it, but now it wouldn't anymore. but some other critic standing that's maybe that's now the strategy of israel to hatch. one bigger conflict is all of them because it can . there's some other reason. and from that phase, really army of both. it's not good that has looked,

apply different areas that they need to my dentist to deal with them. so yeah, it's not so good for these riley army, for sure. they route a professor jamal. what came says this unexpected escalation is unlikely to turn into a full scale conflicts. this is the 1st time that we owe witness was such a white scale escalation since 2006. and this was unexpected. actually, i believe that i maybe though the faction that i has launched, the rockets has a well calculated b. a. b possible is really a response. so i know, and the time being the israelis are facing a political crisis on some analysts are saying that the israel a might resort to exporting the crisis by launching and attack on lebanon. but this

is unlikely without the full american support. in the meantime, we have the differences between the biden administration and netanyahu. so the faction that has launched the rockets may be, has taken this into consideration. seeing that israel or netanyahu's hands are not free to, to go on a full scale aggression against lebanon, who the on to other stories in france. half a 1000000 demonstrators marched on thursday for the 11th day of nationwide protests against pension reform. ah, a with

violent demonstrations flared in cities all across the country with clashes between protesters and police, drawing concerns from the council of the human rights commissioner. protestors disruptive traffic here the capital main airport. as police responded with the rest and tear gas, the clashes come into deadlock and debates between them across government and french groups that wants the pension reform scrap on wednesday, union officials met with the prime minister for talks, which the activists later branded a failure processors claim the french government isn't communicating with the people and is undermining democracy, which will do and today we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not very good at communication. we have the impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country. at the end of the day, the government is taking advantage of the nuances of

a law to go beyond democracy. that's how it's done to force its way through. we are trying to show that we are many and we are strong in the face of this government. i'm here for the 11th time because this reform is unfair, creates inequalities in a lot of injustices. it is part of a political project that is unfair. meanwhile, the french president is in china holding cock, receive, paying on ukraine and accusing moscow of escalation, claiming nuclear weapons should not be based on foreign territory. referring to the recent agreement between russia and bela ruth stopped us friends shares the opinion that nuclear weapons should be completely excluded from this conflict that all international treaties and this issue should be respected and the under no circumstances should nuclear weapons be deployed outside the territories of nuclear powers, especially in europe. in this regard, it is necessary to remind every one of the responsibilities in particular russia,

which a few days ago announced its desire to deploy such weapons to bela bruce, which does not comply with the obligations it is assumed to you. and to us and to international law. however, this contradicts the policy of some european members of nato, which have been hosting us nukes for decades. washington has been basing its b 61 tactical nuclear weapons in germany, italy, belgium. the netherlands entered here, the number of american warheads in europe is estimated at around 150. in an interview with r t 1st, stepney permanent representative of russia to be un. dimitri polanski spoke about western double standards when it comes to u. s. nuclear weapons deployed in europe and how the u. s. undermined international treaties concerning tactical w. m. d. 's. it's not, china is our trusted and proven partner, a faction determined by the recently adopted join to russia,

china statement. we know that our cooperation worries many countries because in the western vision, russia should have been isolated for, as they put it, aggression against ukraine. in fact, though, every one is well aware that the true causes of the ukraine crisis are much deeper . and that it began much earlier than the 24th of february 2022. our chinese partners understand this very well. they have their own history of double standards from the west. our partnership with china is not directed against any states. we stress that all the time, we want the constructive approach to prevail and for the west to stop pursuing its interests at the expense of developing states. we are categorically against it. a multi polar world has become a reality, and only the united states and its allies are trying to cling to a self proclaimed us supremacy. no one appointed the united states as the world's policeman, arab countries understand the crises to which such self appointed world policeman

lead. we oppose had gemini, we stand for a just peace, for indivisible security, for a security architecture that is fundamentally different from what the united states and nato allies are trying to impose. the chinese envoy to rush us as europe is in no position to lecture beijing while the chinese foreign ministry has pointed out nato's role in the conflict in ukraine as beijing pushes back against calls from the u. s. lead block to take sides over the conflicts legions and to me, as for the responsibility on the ukrainian issue, i think that the united states and the military blocks such as native should take responsibility. nature has no right to criticize china or put pressure on it. radio powers are not exactly on every st regarding the car, you should not say for example processing sanctions providing arms for. 7 inside or

hawaii economic, huge economic age to to keep all, none of which are tallahassee channel provides motel age to going, but not as so bizarre. official, formal assistance to p r. china's position is neutrality. all power certainly is different. as you probably know, there was just a, a minister or a nato, a foreign minister meeting a few days ago on, you know, this is something that they just very concerned about. that is, nato saw the clearly nicholas diesel expansion into the asian pacific region. a new candidate, robert kennedy, is joining the democratic primary against joe biden. in 2024, slamming the president's foreign policy as an abject failure, echoing rival party candidate donald trump. the collapse of u. s. influence over saudi arabia and the kingdoms,

new alliances with china and iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the neocons strategy of maintaining you as global had you money with aggressive projections of military power. the neil con projects in iraq and ukraine have cost $8.00 trillion dollars. hold out or middle class made the laughing stock of u. s. military power and moral authority to china and russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the door as the global currency cost millions of lives, and done nothing to advance democracy or when friendships or influence. now on the republican side, many of the candidates including former president, donald trump, say the country has headed off a cliff. fast, a country is going to hell or currency is crashing and will assume no longer be the world standard. which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, and 200 years there will be no defeat like that that will take us away from being even a great power. countries moving away from the us dollar is

a big deal and it's happening fast. brazil, china, india, and other major countries are starting to do their transactions and different currencies. saudi arabia is making the shift as well. all of this comes on the heels of a very important meeting between chinese leadership in king and russian president vladimir putin. now the favorite tool of us leaders to smack down countries, they don't like sanctions may be rendered useless, as we see ongoing landmark, political and economic shifts. we won't have to talk about sanctions in 5 years because it'll be so many countries transacting and currencies other than the dollar, that we won't have the ability to sanction them. so who is actually responsible for this? well, the united states can only really point fingers that itself. the real threat was the unprecedented economic sanctions that joe biden was allowed to. in fact, encouraged to impose those sanctions. you'll recall we're supposed to hurt russia. but even in march of last year,

it seemed obvious they were going to hurt united states much more than they hurt russia. here's what we said 13 months ago. we should prepare to lose our position as holder of the world's reserve currency. these policies have driven russia, china, india, turkey, and other countries to accelerate their flight from the u. s. dollar, not to be clear. that's the majority of the global economy. this may be the most reckless and destructive thing. any american president has ever done. the united states, and let's not forget the national debt, sending billions of dollars to ukraine, isn't helping that out by any means, as pointed out by some american politicians. among them is u. s. senator joe mansion who says he's considering a presidential run. he says that running up the payments owed to creditors for the country is downright malpractice. america is fast approaching another needless emergency, the raising of the national debt ceiling,

ignoring the debt and deficit implications of these actions as the time news to raise the debt ceiling isn't only wrong. it's policy and political malpractice, a bipartisan group of presidential hopefuls who all agree on one thing. the current administration is running the economy into the ground. and joe biden has a lot to answer for. even as the white house says that the 80 year old still intends to run for a 2nd term. they'll of martin r t new york, former vice chair of the libertarian national committee, arvin flora says the you should stop being the world's policeman and concentrate on its domestic issues and fed. many people in the united states, and more specifically, many people in 5 democratic party that by which i mean democratic voters are recognizing that american foreign policy that is based on invading other countries . that's based on trying to control other countries that based on focusing on

everything that is not really the purview of the u. s. government, the united states, spending money and resources on something is not our problem and not our business. the government needs to realize that it's purview that the purview of the american government is the united states of america. it is not every single country in the world. it is not to protect every single country from every single other country. and that's have been the foreign policy over the last several decade, which is wasted money to waste of live. it is made america less safe. and if america stop doing that, we're going to be safer. we're going to be more prosperous if we can stop. if we can stop trying to be the policeman of the world and stead worth on making america, the best country that it can be tragic news from the russian city of done yet were at least 4 civilians have been killed. and 6 more wounded in the latest ukrainian shelling according to local officials. a warning you might find the following

images distressing. the civilian side on the spot on a residential street after ukrainian shells landed scattering, shrapnel across a wide area of troops fired a barrage of heavy rockets at the city hitting a civilian car repair center. affording to rush this investigative committee, ah, russian forces have advanced on the down bass front targeting ukrainian troops and armored formations with artillery and airstrikes in over $100.00 areas. while p. m . c. wagner's forces continued to dislodge calves forces from the key city of oddity almost in the daniel republic, ortiz more at garcia follows the russian advance in the region. these town has died . none of its original inhabitants remain. but amidst the ruins and craters hidden in the shadows, ah spot us, always watching you,

i spot and correct the enemy is now 5 kilometers away from us. i track the movement of armor and infantry. i sent my report and we hit them. mainly armored vehicles, pill boxes, firing positions, and machine gun points. he's with as much to watch every shadow. every shrub, every window could be hiding the enemy with . oh yes, i see the deer on my back guided missile is just the flawed in support of the threads of thou on the way it gets to ukrainian held settlement just south of dave got the offensive vis ongoing.

all the sort of thing with mass true judges rather the so ongoing thing where building off the building a kid in truth may right now, i tried to discourage great in reinforcements from approaching areas where they can follow a true russian troops approaching the settlement. this is the laser guided co net a t m with a range of up to 10 kilometers. it comes with various missiles. i'm a piercing and exclusive ah, warehouse law with day and night,

they keep watch changing positions regularly. they keep the ukrainians guessing where the next strike may come from. so now we target to, to enemy sports positions that we had identified earlier. we got them both. it's a very effective system. if you uses right, it's devastating. the cornet is a scalpel, small mobile and precise. just 12 in a devastating arsenal. ah. please footage was shots just to the north in buck mort, where arguably the fiercest battle of the century is being waged. this video shot by euclidian soldiers chose rhodes lined with destroyed nate who supplied vehicles and armour. inside the city is pandemonium. ukrainian forces have been pushed back to the western edges of the city by rushes. wagner,

p. m. c. group. according to reports, cubes, troops have begun to retreat from the city. tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries have been killed and injured here. this is the final, a battle that has seriously mold and exhausted the ukrainian military for kiev. it is a desperate moment. the feet here will cost presidency, landscape politically, both abroad and at home. so he waits, refusing to sanction retreat, feeding the father of back, morton more and more ukrainian soldiers or at yahoo, the of haughty from the nets, creegan and western ukraine. local authorities involve say, the history of the canonical orthodox church in the city is now over. that's after authorities demolished the last remaining wooden church in the city,

the official se the building was constructed illegally. earlier anti orthodox activists form this and seized another church in the city. local police officers were seen using force to remove parishioners from the building. this comes amid a nation wide crack down visor like you've never met on the ukranian orthodox church with similar incidents happening in different regions. we discussed the controversy with press tv journalists, johnny miller, was reported from ukraine and john bass. i was in kiev in 2016 and i interviewed someone moments names, but interviewed someone now who was talking about this very issue, the increasing authoritarianism of ukrainian government persecution of religion and people like that to be you know, being arrested by ukrainian intelligence agencies. any, this is happening right across the canadian society in the opening stages. last year, bonds,

media outlets of political parties. so if you're ukranian and you criticize ukrainian government, even if you criticize need, so you on the risk of being arrested, even if the social media posts. so there's really no freedom of expression in ukraine. and this, these attacks on the church a part of that. now this comes after the bishop in charge of the country's biggest orthodox monastery. the key poachers flora was arrested earlier this week. the monastery has come under fierce pressure from last month the landscape. government ordered local monks to leave their homes as the law. most of them refused to go and are still resisting authorities, calling their actions on lawful new crane. according to russia, washington is seeking to drive a wedge between ukraine's orthodox believers as part of his anti russian foreign policy. johnny miller again says

a tax on the orthodox church are part of this information policy. the church, of course, they say they feel that it's connected to russian. anything connected with russia is a fat. so that's why they're going off to the church, but it's just one of many increasing human rights violations by the government. what is clear is that the ukrainian government with the essence of need so it's promotes and violence against john, the foreign western journalists facing jail in europe being sanctioned, fearing assassination. we now have a center for accounts in this information, which is a ukrainian government agency sponsored by the government. they are now lighting allies, putting people on blacklist they write absurd lies about myself. pictures of me on the infinite, make accusations against me if it is itself a sense of this information. and then these lies that are written about western journalists, and i'm so russian journalist as well, that done in order to promote violence against them. and why is this being done is

being done because there are 2 sides to this complex. anybody who's been in bath? i spent a long time there myself as no choice. but to report the truth that's happening there, which is ukraine is intentionally selling civilians on the vast majority of people who don't yet support russia. i no longer want to be part of ukraine. people just want peace and this is not being told to you, appear in audiences. they is a feeling that the only way to crate this is to win on the battlefield. will know if we listen to civilians on both sides. sticking to the front lines. it's piece that thereafter, and that will mean ukraine giving up territory, but there is a peaceful solution to be out across china is becoming involved. um, at some point we're gonna have to get there to the often called venice of africa, a nigerian village in the middle of a lake, which locals can only leave and enter by boat. ortiz, corolla tot, le, explores the local waterways. well, come to michael,

go. no only place in africa when the residents live on water. this whole place is build on stealth is often called africa venice because of the numerous pathways and the houses that have been build fair on these bills. so much for africans can slim. well, well, well, you're about to give the shock of your life with this is the only way to get about you and i go to school, get on a boat. you want to go to church, get in a boat. you wanna go to shop. you gotta get on a boat, but you just look around the poverty that's around this place of cause takes it
