max in for me. he was originally from don mass, and thought in the early stages of the conflict in 2014 as part of the live on people's militia. that experience led to him later filming reports from the area and posting online are cheese. donald quarter breaks down how the events unfold. bit on a sunday evening like any other russian war correspondent, bloodline to tar ski, 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

cookers the switches to a terrorist attack has just happened. while vlad lend to tar ski was speaking, got up. according to st. we're on a manhunt to find the warranty corruption foundation. around 700 police officers were deployed across the city in search of 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 daria 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 for being at the scene of flatland petoskey, killing. what have you done? i paused sachi that exploded hills, who gave it to you. can i tell you later?

russia's anti terrorism committee has determined that this was a terrorist attack, organized by t f 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 haves 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 halves 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. the federal minister to chars kate was held on saturday. mourners gather out a cemetery in the capital, who is posthumously awarded the order of courage for bravery. one of russia's top honors the ear may

be overly reliant on its ties with the wes, that's the concert that's been expressed by the french president during a trip. this week to china, a manual non chronic said europe must avoid following washington's lead and to a potential confrontation with beijing over taiwan. the paradox would be that overcome with bennett, we believe we're just america's followers. the question you were being asked me to answer is it in our interest to accelerate on taiwan? no. the worst thing would be to think that we, you rippey and must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the u. s. agenda and the chinese overreaction recently, the chair, mila the u. s. house foreign affairs committee said there would only be a conflict with china. and then had the support of the american people. michael mccaul had been asked, how far washington would go to defend its interest in taiwan. speaker mccarthy,

and yourself have said that multiple times now that we need to arm taiwan. now before there is any sort of invasion. what about u. s. troops arctic? you know, then you're talking about an authorized use of military force. it would come out of my committee or a declaration of war, which we haven't you license war to which you support that? i think your firm, if you have china commerce, china invades tie one. i think that is certainly if the american people support this, the congress will follow. the words were delivered as a u. s. delegation visited taiwan on thursday, back in washington house speaker, kevin mccarthy, hosted the islands leader despite objections from china on saturday, beijing launch 3 days of military girls around the territory. the chinese foreign ministry also issued a statement that sought to clear up any confusion regarding the one china, principal highland he to stay. one is an inseparable part of china. china sovereignty and territorial integrity has never been divided and division won't be

allowed. some countries hype up to false narrative of democracy versus authoritarianism, and use the pretext of democracy to support and connive with separatist forces and tie one for independence in order to contain china. this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. author and political analysts, nickel and markovich, believes that microns statements suggestive visions within the planet community. this is typically manual mark when we, we know that she likes to tell people what they like to hear. so we like to see a macro or by, by his own principles, if he's afraid of going to war with china by following what the u. s. policy is. why was he not afraid of following the u. s. policy and ukraine in going to war in directly with russia. i do think it is quite interesting. however, because in such a circumstance it does show that within vietnam, this is community, there are divisions, and the fact that emanuel macro open,

he says to julius that he does not want to follow everywhere. the u. s. policy is something quite interesting. i think also that china has identified it manual macro as a weaker spot within the atlantis community. we're in the west and they've played on that. we've seen how exiting being has agreed mandel macro in china with a lot of honors with a lot of important meetings. i sidestepping ursula, vendor ne, in a clearly showing that china was betting more on macro than he was on the european union. reducing the dollars dominant, so the clear goal stated by iran has the country welcome the russian president, special aid to taylor on on sunday to ron argues that reducing the role of the dollar in both regional and international transactions would help lessen the western dominance of the world economy, iran also underlined the north south corridor as the most important part of its development projects. it plans to connect transit routes for goods from moscow to

india through iran, bypassing western nations and their sanctions. the ideas voiced by the iranian official is trending under the name d dollarization. and iran and russia are the only ones pushing for that. turkey at central bank has recently announced steps to boost this move away from the green mack and keep down the yields of turkish li are government bars on cur, wants to courage to use as a local currency in bank deposits. china and malaysia are also weighing a potential asian monetary fund as a counterbalance to the dollar dominated international monetary fund. and finally, saudi arabia said in january, that is open to discussing oil trade in currencies other than the dollar. that's moving away from the notion that the dollar is the sole currency to trade oil with . the secretary general of the asian mares forum, listed 3 major reasons behind the devaluation of the dollar over the last 30 years

. or 1st, the, the financial crisis cards in 2008. and it was the one which many countries, especially you can do. and all the countries where one way or the other connected to the dollar system. the other one was the curb, the currency, which was out of the americans and again the $1.31 which i consider that as the most important one is the already use up to state farm, the dollar, putting sanction on the country and that country over and over again, and he actually can they help the country, they the sanction countries to go to are the working together. so you all are sanction washer or thank you. thank and, and try no thanks for the many,

many other countries realize that the, who the worth with each other this find the sanctions and there will be no further be on that. and they don't need actually the us all that works with each other. so that it would be sanction, or it could be a lay me head by or by the v b. c, 's been slapped, or the tag of government funded media by twitter. but it's provoked in angry response from the british broadcaster which rejects the claim, saying it's the people and not the parliament that pay it's money. with speaking to twitch, i to resolve this issue as soon as possible. the bbc is and always has been independent . we funded by the british public through the license free abc is funded by the license fee, a compulsory charge for each household amounting to $159.00 british pounds annually

. the amount of the fee, though, is set by the government, twitters, previously slop similar tags. on various russian and chinese news outlets including archie earlier, the american n p. r network was given a state affiliated media label, although that was later changed to government funded after you on last face backlash in the media. journalist martin j believe's, public opinion about the b b. c won't be affected by twitters decision, as it's already been damaged by recent scandals. the broadcaster has found itself in will never read such a low point. another more and more people are asking why they have to pay the fee to many people at best are asking for the business both to be rechecked and for it to become commercialized and web. whether people can choose to pay or not, or even as a pay as you go model, you know, it's an a crisis and there is also corruption scandals that a, b, b, c go to now,

you know, the recent appointment of it's of its top shop who was a friend of or johnson and who actually helped us johnson secure, a so called loan from a company canadian businessman to help on some of these new lavish lifestyle. you know, the sort of thing to people like, who do things like that birdsboro johnson and then become the chief executive officer of the, or the secretary general, the bbc. that's the sort of scandal that people are now beginning to accept as normal as the bbc, because corruption is something that is becoming noted by media more and more about the pvc and it can then it's murky connection with government. so just say that this is going to affect public opinion. i think public opinion is really too low. presently, i don't think it has that much impact. so at least 8 people are thought to be trapped under rubble. after 2 buildings collapsed in the french city of mar, say,

following an explosion. fire at the feet has complicated rescue efforts. video footage shows clouds of smoke rising from the ruins as firefighters tried to bring the situation under control. on excavator attempts to dig through the piles of bricks and concrete, at least 5 people were taken to the hospital was serious, but not life threatening. injuries. the cause of the explosion is not yet known. o delegations from saudi arabia and omar are holding peace talks with healthy rebels in yemen. it follows a reconciliation between saudi arabia and iran. and the deal brokered by china. this is part of renewed efforts to and the nearly decade long conflict and which saudi led forces have been fighting against the who, the insurgency, which is supported by iran. it is assumed that the piece talks will focus on a potential cease fire and an end to a saudi blockade of gemini ports controlled by the hu fees. there's also

speculation that the negotiations will include the possible withdrawal of saudi lead forces from yemen and efforts to rebuild the country. efforts to establish cooperation between the parties are already under way, where the recent prisoners was conducted between the sides. the war wrapped it in 2014, when an uprising by who the rebels toppled the government, it escalate it into a broader conflict between assad, led coalition supporting the government and iran backing the who to want to establish a religious state. trying to diplomatic effort, which saw saudi arabia and iran restore ties have booted hope, civil asking resolution to the conflict in yemen. more than 23000000 people are estimated. you need immediate humanitarian help journalist uses more rec, has more on the development we have to recognize that saudi arabia is taking this initiative to come to yemen, something which they have never done. i think saudi arabia is starting to see the

downward trajectory that the u. s and western powers are heading and i think that, you know, they're sort of on this cross path where they are being forced to jump off the sinking western hedge a monic ship that they have relied on. we have to keep in mind that from on saudi arabia, the u. e. they all have us and western military bases in their own nations. they are no part of the western force to implement western policy in the entire region. this initiative that they're taken is geared at establishing better partnerships, not just in yemen, but throughout the region with also iran. you know, thanks to the china brokered agreement that be assigned to, you know, 3 weeks ago. right. so i think saudi arabia is on a precipice where they are forced to jump off the ship of western

colonialism today marks 20 years since the rocky capital of baghdad fell to us forces in a war that love to trout devastation is wake. we're continuing our special covert of the event through the oil, which country indicate off and d stabilize the region for years to come. oh meanwhile, a new gallop survey has found a majority of muslim nations don't view america as a democracy building power in iraq. for example, 72 percent of respondents don't believe that quote, the u. s. is serious about encouraging the establishment of democratic systems in muslim countries. exactly. 2 decades ago, a large statue of the iraqi leader, saddam hussein was toppled in baghdad. the monument was brought down by

a rockies with the help with us marines. the event received extensive media coverage with many had lining it as the end of the hussein era. but it wasn't the end of involvement in the country for us forces. 2 years after the invasion began, american troops gun down 2004 civilians, including women and children. in the town of had data. one of the 8 marines involved pleaded guilty to negligence. all of their charges, including involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, were dismissed. r g, steve sweeney travel the country to investigate the incident and the legacy u. s. war left behind. i did, there was a town, the very few people outside of iraq knew before 2003. but it soon became known throughout the world of the us. marines went on the rampage, massacring 24 people like fallujah. this was also a revenge attack. it followed the killing of a us soldier and a roadside bomb here. but the victims were women,

the elderly and children as young as one who was shot multiple times at close range . they killed my brother, my uncle, to heat my uncle for sheed, my father, my mother and my grandmother. the only survivors were my brother up till my sister asha and me. yes, again, the military tried to cover up the truth, but was soon forced to emit that marines might have deliberately targeted civilians aware latin that the completely sealed off the entire city for a month. not allowing any one to enter and arresting any one who spoke about the incident. so the issue did not appear in television for a long time, but the ones who actually provoked the situation with the americans themselves. the pain is still felt by many haven had ether, including mister colored, who lost 15 members of his family in the massacre. stubby had see on, on january 19th, 2005, a land mine exploded at a place where the u. s. military was located. we were used to the fact that after

some kind of explosion, there would be screams for about half an hour, but then everything will be silent afterwards. that time it was different. the screams continued, and the sounds of shots fired by the american military continued terrifying the residents of the city. it turned out that an american humvee was blown up. they broke into the house of abdul hassan and killed 7 of its residents. they also broke into the house of my cousin and killed 8 of the people who were living there. they also stopped a taxi that was carrying students heading to baghdad to study the executed them in cold blood. after that, they broke into the house of ai. it al gray airy and killed 4 people. it was a terrible day. it terrified the entire city, the american military, the militants and al qaeda. one might say, we're playing a game of cat and mouse. and ordinary citizens were the only ones who really suffered from this. every day we heard shooting in the city,

the result of which was always the cold blooded murder of civilians. hundreds of innocent people died in such incidents. he described drug cray soldiers who lost control as they went from a 3 hour killing spree ah, elephant in a 20 years after the americans evaded my country. iraqis still remember this with great pain and suffering because of the disasters the americans left behind. yes, my country suffered from economic weakness due to the devastating war with iran, but life was safe in the cities and in the country as a whole. however, with the arrival of the americans, that security ended before the american invasion. there was a kind of social equality between different levels of society. but after the american invasion, a corrupt class emerged rising above society. previously, iraqis were kind sociable, they showed brotherly feelings towards each other and generosity. but after the americans came,

drugs began to spread. families began to disintegrate. social degradation began increasingly we began to hear about things alien to our society that a son killed his father or his family and all of this because of drugs. it didn't come out of nowhere, but the americans are gone. but traces of the u. s. still remain in my country. they manifest themselves in the economic and social spheres and their ugliest forms . the people of her days have been denied justice. also the 8 indicted. 6, all the charges dropped altogether, while one was found not guilty. the only soldier to face caught merely los rank and how the salary reduce leaving the victims love runs angry. i remember they may have been women and there may have been children and there is a squad leader. your responsibility at that point is to say, cease fire. let's not take another step. we just killed some women and children

here. my responsibilities a squad leader is to make sure that none of the rest of my guys died. so no, i don't believe so. and i taught it, and i believe that the u. s. president at the time, george bush and the other leaders who supported him during the occupation of my country, as well as their armies. bear collective responsibility for every drop of innocent blood shed in my country. any rock, any international courts must work hard to bring those criminals to justice. judicial decisions must be made to improve the transparency of fake western democracy. once again, washington has committed war crimes with impunity. on 20 years later, it is ordinary iraqis that has still paying the price. the war was called over the false claims of said on having weapons of mass destruction. it led to decades of turmoil here on our team will continue to chronicle those deadly days in their aftermath and our special coverage. at this hour,

american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from gray. with food and medicine. and fleet with that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you next time

a protest by italian bakers, a, the british being forced to give up the most basic things, jude and he, russian sanctions. europe isn't free, plunging into darkness. it's freezing. ah, but what does the us have to do with it? ah, i will ensure that joe biden does not receive 4 more year.
