their agents. for more details, we are going to cross your corresponded in studio marina, closer of our welcome marina. so can you give us more details on what we know so far on the f. s. these finding the girl who was arrested in connection to the explosion that killed blood lens tar sky. she was working with a ukrainian national. his name you would do nice of who was a member of a ukrainian terrorist group according to the f as b. and this is something that was being planned for quite some time, according to their findings. this man came a few months before the terrorist attack took place. he was tracking of lab lindsey tar skis. whereabouts he bought a car, he even got a lot right next to the war correspondence department. so he could, he could track his movements and i guess them there were just waiting for the perfect time and place. and then as we know earlier this month, this incident took place the 1st week of april. as soon as that happened,

he fled due to denise of fled, the country. so he left to armenia and then continued on to turkey. now, the rushes investigative committee has opened the criminal case against them and their work, and i'm putting him on an international wants a list also according to the s s b. this man was working on the orders of ukraine. so security forces and also other agents. they say, and according to them, including in those agents are members of russia's opposition members who are hiding abroad and also that there's a girl that was inspired by a russian opposition. p. yes. so you just mentioned that the fs because identify these opposition groups having a hand in the terrorist attack, what role that they play? well, their role was mainly insights and hatred and calling for all acts of violence in russia. the f s. b in their statement. they said that basically there are repeatedly stated calls for extreme as activities on washing soil. and this is

mainly we've seen this from supporters of jailed opposition, member leader or alex in bonnie. now he had a fond of the anti corruption foundation, which has since in the summer of 2021. this was said that it was an extremist organization, and it was liquidated. but a year after that, and some of 2022 alexson of all the behind bars. he states that he would re launch the organization as an international one. and after that, we continued seam calls for violence in russia, in particular from the leaders of this and the crops and foundation. we have li, i need the bulk of and another leader there. and there have been already cases the criminal cases opened against them, investigating all these calls for violence that they have made. and they have also been put on an international wanted list because of course they have led the country. let's take a look at some of the examples over the kinds of violence that they were

instigating from people. there's some people who no matter what, participate and protest organize actions of civil disobedience and even blow up military warehouses. all of that is great. well done honor and praise to them if you can set the military commissary edge in fire, then do it is a request from lead me law, humans that we've got an armed resistance. could you kill someone more significant next time? so this is how there were inciting there is the waters to go on and do some acts of violence and diarrhea today. according to the s s b, she was a follower of this anti corruption foundation. and perhaps she was brainwashed or inspired. and she was in cahoots with him and of course the ukranian national that we know now you to denise of who delivered everything he sent the boss to the plaster bust of the war correspondent to her using an express delivery service. and then she took it, went to that cafe and we know what happened after that. now this isn't the 1st time

moscow has accused ukrainian forces of committing crimes against pro russian figures. now it's absolutely not the 1st time we've seen this happen time and time again, especially in august of 2022. as soon as, as soon as we saw what happened with loveland starsky, straight away, everyone went back to the summer of 2022. when we had that horrible yet again, another terrorist attack this time, a claim, the life of the daughter of a prominent russian philosopher, alexander, duke, and his daughter. they blew up her car, basically they've denied any responsibility, but the f as b has been seen proof and evidence. again, ukraine, security forces were behind that as well. whether they're denied it now or not. of course, it's one of their favorites, admit that this is something they did because there was somebody who would be very happy with something like that. but we've also seen examples of the crimean bridge would that explosion, there. the explosion seems to be there

a method of choice placed in bombs, in particular cars. we've seen this time, it was delivered, ah, camouflaged in the plaster boss of the war correspondent. but we've seen that they're resorting to these methods time and time again. so that on remains to be seen what they'll say this time, but again, that what they say all the time is denial, that they're not behind that though we see how happy they are after the fact that after every terrorist attack we've seen how they've come out then they're very happy that this happened supporters of alixia, nevada, ne, ah, have also, there were very happy and posted on telegram and on social media sites. how happy they were of loveland sitarski was dead. and without any this regard for even innocent bystanders that were there. so this is what we see that they're resorting to time and time again. surely we'll be hearing more revelations are cheese marina coaster ever with the latest china intends to close air space over taiwan next week, but only for half an hour. in contrast with earlier announcement of implementing

a 3 day, no fly zone regime that comes as trenches between beijing and taiwan, have escalated following the taiwanese regional leaders trip to the u. s. and a reciprocal visit by american lawmakers to the island. beijing responded with drills to send quote, a serious warning to pro independence forces on tuesday, the chinese president inspected the navy southern theater command and called on armed forces to step up military training. ortiz kayla. boffin brings us more details. the government on taiwan says that china is preparing to launch a war and they say this in response to the latest drills from the chinese military stimulating and circle many of the islands look at the military exercises and also the rhetoric they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against taiwan. beijing says these drills were a warning to the government on taiwan and to independence forces. similar drills

were conducted after the visit by then speaker of the house, nancy pelosi last year, but rather than trying to de escalate this anyway. recently we saw they had of the us house foreign affairs committee visit the island of taiwan and compare chinese president. she's been paying to add all hitler, talking about a provocation, but taiwan foreign minister doesn't seem to concern about what these actions might lead to. he says china has no right to dictate how taiwan chooses to make friends. what. what is it that these friends of taiwan really want? she assume she manufacturers 90 percent of the advance global supply of advanced semiconductor ships. oil was so important for the economy is, is this sort of the 21st century version of that? i think it's about democracy and freedom. the u. s. a has been in circling china with military bases for over a decade. and recently the u. s. military just conducted its largest real yet today

with the philippines. the usaa is now selling tens of millions of dollars worth of weapons to taiwan, and at the same time we've got a meeting coming up in may. 25 representatives of pentagon contracted corporation are sending representatives to taiwan to discuss joint production ventures for drones and ammo. needless to say, things in the pacific are rapidly escalating so rapidly, in fact, that some of washington's friends in the west are not sure they're down with it. the question you repeat need to answer is it in our interest, accelerated cry. since i won. now, the worst thing would be to think that if we, europeans, must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the u. s. agenda and the chinese overreaction. ours in dental and corona's right. we must be careful not to become a party of the conflict between the united states and the people's republic of china. europe must try to plan and burn a troll as far as possible and not to appears and appendage of the usa. only 13

countries in the world still recognized the government in, ty pay with honduras. being the latest to drop taiwan, they threw their support behind beijing last month. washington whose relations with taiwan are on official and who still claims to adhere to the long standing one shine of policy has been escalating things as much as possible. who really benefits from these moves. caleb martin arts a new york co director of the international action center. sarah flounder says that china is simply responding to the u. s. as violations of its tie. one policy china is responding to what the u. s. provocations are, which is again and again the selling us aircraft, carriers, destroyers, nuclear submarines, and all over flights, all manner of other military equipment directly into the taiwan straits and in

areas of china until now, the u. s. was able to project unrestrained threats on china by the sheer number of their military forces in the region. it shows that the u. s. is absolutely willing to violate, find agreements that they have made, affirming that china is one country. and taiwan is a province of china. they want to pull the e u into this also, and they want to pull the surrounding countries in truly not only korea and japan and the philippines, but of course, every country in the surrounding area. they are pressuring them extensively, and they are pressuring certainly the european union. foreign ministers from nations neighboring afghanistan have gathered in his back as stand to discuss the current economic and political crisis affecting cool. a chinese representative has harshly condemn us actions in afghanistan. they may have only made the

situation worse. after 20 years of completely failed military interventions, the u. s. and later, military forces have pulled out of afghanistan and the future of denison is back in the hands of the afghans. the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan was carefully planned strategically to focus on targets in china and russia. the u. s. is using the turbulence in afghanistan to contain and destabilize central asia, china, russia, pakistan, and iran are the key forces in afghanistan in relation to regional coordination. the most striking is the, is the change of tone or the change of style of chinese diplomacy here and some are kind of foreign minister thing gone demonstrated that today the stress and we just heard the constructive role of a regional powers. china's neighbors like russia, iran,

pakistan in trying to bring stability to this region. but he also very heavily criticized the west for not doing the things that it should be doing in this region and doing a lot of things to undermine the security situation on the ground. and to humanitarian progress, in particular, he criticized the west for continuing to re occurrence reserves around $7000000000.00 were seized and i still are inaccessible to you. i've got any people in the i've got any authorities. he also called on the west to refrain from installing it on military basis, or it's military facilities in the, in the region or supporting any of the groups covertly. here. distress was on and making sure that the ability and security to returns to this region. us failure in dentist on his multi face. such actions by fours do not bring peace of galveston.

the 20 years of us mail to occupation have been filled with conflict of galveston. so co democratic transformation by the u. s. and the west do not coincide with the current local conditions. national reconciliation and of gaston remains elusive to these the u. s. counter terrorism, efferson of galveston have only may terrorist more rampant that emphasizes a new development in this region. many countries here believe that this is time for them to join forces in bring their own sub continent in order without constructive or destructive involvement of western powers. and that's going to be the focus of meetings later on today when the ministers of, from china, russia, pakistan, and their round will meet with a, with a number of data. central asian colleagues from to jacob time from was becky on them from turkmenistan. those countries are still being ported by the west to read the clean to sort of remain on the right side of history. but i think for many of

the countries present here, it's pretty clear that destiny and the future of this region should be in their own hands. and they should be the ones who are providing not only security, but also can on the development here from a decade long conflict to a new era of partnership. serious foreign minister has arrived in saudi arabia, as the 2 nations aimed to restore relations after more than 10 years apart, we had said it wants to see the reunification of damascus and its return to the arab league. the 2 sites have a session of talks discussing ways to address the searing crisis in order to preserve serious unity security, stability, error by the entity and tutorial integrity, while also serves the interests of his brotherly people. both sides also discussed the steps necessary to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of the searing crisis that would and all repercussions. the chief national reconciliation contribute to the return of syria

. toots air polled and the resumption of its role in the arab world series also announced a mutual reopening of embassies with tunisia for the 1st time in a decade with the 2 nations continuing consultations on waste of further restored ties. according to a joint statement from both states, the countries will now reopen their diplomatic missions and appoint ambassadors, tunisia several diplomatic relations with syria, shortly after an outbreak of conflict in damascus over a decade ago. meanwhile, iran in saudi arabia are continuing on their own road to reunification with a delegation from turan, arriving in saudi arabia to re establish a diplomatic mission. r t contributor use of july only brings us the details. and they're running a delegation of technical delegation from iran visit a saudi arabia was announced by the warning foreign ministry that delegation arrived in the capital real war. it is expected to follow up on the sensation of

the peace. the old between yvonne and saudi arabia, which was quenched in the chinese capital beijing back in early march. so the wanting delegation is expected is expected to do 3 major things. one is to reopen the one in embassy, real to east, to open a console for these mach republican, the saudi city of jetta. and we used to open a permanent representative of these long republic to the oh, i see the organization of islamic cooperation and no exact date is so far provided by the 2 sides as to when the embassies will officially start working. but based on remarks made by the iranian spokesperson for the foreign ministry, he said that efforts have been made to reopen the embassies before the arrival of the annual hedge co remish, which is due in late june and early july. so he hopes that the embassies will

officially start working by then, similar saudis, obligation is iran has been in iran since saturday. i just doing the same works. it is doing the same work and the procedures to try to reopen the saudi embassy in the capital one and also to launch a consulate for the review are in the city of mass shot. of course, the p steel came, they told you in early march this year, and it was broken by china as part of efforts to try to deescalate the regional troubles in the middle east and also to build mutual cross between one and saudi arabia to security. for more or less ross live to torak amanda political analysts joining us from damascus. i welcome. so syria announced a mutual reopening of embassies with denisia. is this a surprise or

a signal that damascus may be returning to its former place as a valuable ally in the arab world? years. thank you for having me. i think that her now right now, these are new relation between syria, this visit of foreign minister to saudi arabia and this new opening of the embassy of tunisia in damascus. and also the relation of the diplomatic relation between celia antonia. this all is and really in you, a period of relation between syria and the other countries, which now i can now see that it is a unique organizing of the civility of the syrian state on, on, on the syrian lan. before that it was, you remember that syria was under these conflict and not just inside

syria, but also it was a conflict between the syrian estate and also the other countries. more of, more of the out of countries like like the gun fish, gun for states and also to an easy and many other countries. now we can see that the relation is between the syrian government as a government of syria and the governments of these other countries. right, so there's so much going on. we mentioned earlier, syria and saudi arabia and men are ron and saudi arabia, restoring ties as well to the growing unity in the middle east. be attributed to the u. s. is waning influence in the region and why at this moment, i see my analysis because we see that the saudis,

now saudi arabia has a more and more an inability only see, not just in the other countries, maybe also worldwide. you can see that it is regarding a big loss issues, and there are no relation with russia, the relation that political and situational saudi arabia regarding good canadian war, you see that many of the policy of saudi arabia now it's not like in the past, it's more independent from the u. s. policies and from the u. s. maybe interest. so we see that it's also a reflection. what we see between now syria and saudi arabia. it's also a reflection of the new policy, new strategy, maybe all of the saudi to the world,

and also to syria. we read also about that that the u. s. was not very happy with this and the connection between syria and the other countries. but as it is no, no other way, i think it's really and your ideas of the saudis, of the up countries that if these recalls consolation of the relation between syria and the other countries, it will not be done. all that region is in danger. the security system of the out of the out of countries are, is done. it seems maybe 20 views since the so called a big spring. and what does this out of extreme bring to the other countries? it brought to libya, damage to human damage, to syria, damage to iraq,

to everywhere. and it brought also dies. and i'll move that. i had all the terrorist groups. so it, it brought just damages to these countries. and that all out of countries is in real danger. so the only way of the other countries and now the saudi government, i think they are convinced of that, that they make reconciliation between saudi and syria and this a government should sit together. she so it should make all the relation in real, a b connecting between between them and, and they should apply it really at the interest of the people which are, which they want to, to make that travel to open the airport,

the airlines that trade all of these connections where a since one of you saw it was every, all of this, it was a really a very bad to the people in syria and also to, to the other a people and, and their societies. now very quickly, you mentioned the you asked how may this affect israel if at all, and it's new hard buying government's position. i think i never not the u. s. and not is that they will not be happy of these. and there it is. i guess they will not, they were not happy about the connecting the reconciliation between iraq and saudi arabia. and they will be also not happy about this syrian use the syrian

and saudi news. so of that a, we don't expect that they will be happy about it. because they are aware, l, a u. s a, as israel together they were working on their sanctions on syria. there a war in syria supporting the terrorism in syria, occupying all the sea and land, for example, like the cuba, the confusion of the syrian land in the north is east of syria. so we don't expect that they will be happy of it, or the other countries should make their own policy, their own policy, which is in the interest of the, of the people of the arab societies. and i should also mention that, that russian diplomats,

a diplomacy they wear and since many years they were walking on the reconciliation between our countries, between, especially, between syria and the other countries in egypt, in saudi arabia, merit in many countries. this which i know very good very well about the movement of, of mr lover of and mr. mcdonald and his speeches with the, this countries since many years they were working on it. so we have a definition about this policy. this policy is in the interest of the, of people as this is, this should not to proceed to the american or to that is right if they are happy or not, happy about it. to recommend political analysts, thank you very much. and as ukrainian troops prepare for
