ah ah, moscow's f as b says ukrainian special services and the agents including russian opposition members were involved in the killing of a war journalist and a cafe bombing earlier this month. also this hour, the 20 years of u. s. mail to occupation have been filled with conflicts in the galveston. u. s. counter terrorism efforts in afghanistan have only made terrorists more rambling. china points of anger. the u. s. a. nate, so for the crisis enough janice done that was during a summer to address security concerns related to cobble syria and iran are restoring relations with saudi arabia. as we are raises, the possibility of damascus is return to the arab league. also yellow go up just outside lucy chance maybe one of the locations where great forces planning to

launch their much higher calendar offensive counter offensive frump of these rod garcia explains how russian most crews operates as q is expected to launch a counter offensive, little guns republic with most of the world, you're watching r t international. my name is peter scott here with the top stories at 2 pm. this thursday, thanks very much for joining us now. moscow's f. s b has said that the killing of russian war journalists logged into task earlier this month was organized by ukrainian special services, and partially inspired by russian opposition abroad. my colleague federal isabel earlier spoke to archie correspondence when a course of about the findings, according to russia's federal security service, the girl who was arrested and connection to the explosion that killed blood lens

tar sky. she was working with a ukrainian national, his name, a huge denise of who was a member of a ukrainian terrorist group, according to the s s 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 led lenses, har skis, whereabouts he bought a car. he even got a lot right next to the war correspondence apartments that he could to. he could track his movements and i guess them that were just. busy him 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 happens, he fled due to denise of fled the country. so he laughed to armenia and then continued on to her team. now the rushes investigative committee has opened the criminal case against them and they're working on putting him on an international wants a list. also according to the f. b. this man was working on the orders of ukraine's

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. so you mentioned that the f s b has identified opposition groups having a hand in the terrorist attacks. what role did they play? well, their role was mainly in fight 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 extremist activities on wash and soil. and this is mainly we've seen this from supporters of jailed opposition. member leader alex in the bonnie, now he had a fun, the answer 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 the summer of 2022 alexson of ali behind bars, he states that he would re launch this 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 corruption foundation, 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 salary yet and fire then do it. he's a request from the middle view and that we've got to non resistance. could you kill someone more significant next time? so these are the kinds of statements that will save time and time again since the special military operation began. in fact. so they're seeing this as daddy at the apple that was inspired by calls such as those that really now this isn't the 1st time marina, that moscow has a cues ukrainian forces of committing crimes against pro russian figures. that is

not the 1st time for a law at all. we know as soon as this happens with loveland sitarski straight away, everyone remembered what happened in august of 2022. why and we saw the killing of daddy ado jenna, who was the daughter of a prominent russian philosopher, alexander the duke. and, and there we saw yet another explosion. her car was basically bombed and she died and she had nothing to do with a special military operation, but explosion seems to be the method of choice that was seen from ukraine. we've seen the explosion, for example, and the crimea embrace crane, of course, denies responsibility for all of these, all of these events. but as soon as they happen all these terrorist attacks, they are happy that they happen. we've seen ukrainian officials themselves hauling for attacks on russian solid in moscow in particular for exam. so even though they deny responsibility, the f as b has time and time again, seen evidence and prove that they are behind these terrorist attacks. moving on now,

foreign ministers from countries neighboring afghanistan have gathered in was becky stun. to discuss the current economic and political turbulence and golfing cobble. now, chinese representative has hosted condemned u. s. involvement in afghanistan, i 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 guard nation. the most striking is the, is the change of tone or the change of style of chinese diplomacy here and some are chinese foreign minister thing gone. i demonstrated that today the stress

and we just for the constructive role of regional powers, chinese neighbors like russia, iran pakistan in trying to bring stability to this region. but he also very heavily criticize 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 the humanitarian progress. in particular, he criticized the west or continuing to freeze occurrence reserves around $7000000000.00 were seized and are still on inaccessible to you. i've got 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 returns to this region. us failure in afghanistan is multi faceted. such actions by fours do not bring peace of galveston . the 20 years of us mil to occupation have been filled with comfort in of canister legion. so called democratic transformation by the u. s. and the west do not coincide with the current local conditions. national reconciliation of gaston remains elusive to this day. u. s. counter terrorism, efferson of gaston 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 under constructive or destructive involvement of western powers. and that's going to be the focus of vi meetings later on today when the ministers of, from china, russia,

pakistan, and iran will meet with a, with a number of their essential asian colleagues from to chicken time from becky. stan, i'm from took madison. those countries are still being ported by the west, the, with the cleese 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 economic development. here, the serious for ministers arrived in saudi arabia. thus, as the 2 nations aimed to restore relations after more than 10 years, we had said it hoped for an end to the conflict in syria, as well as which as his return to the arabic, the 2 sites had the session of talks, discussion 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 discuss the steps necessary to achieve

a comprehensive political settlement of the searing crisis. that would and all repercussions, a chief national reconciliation contribute to the return of sera toots, air polled, and the resumption of its role in the arab world. syria also announced the mutual reopening of embassies, which in issue for the 1st time in a decade the 2 nations continuing consultations on ways to further restore the relations tennessee, a 7th diplomatic relations with syria. shortly after an outbreak of the conflicts in damascus over a decade ago. meanwhile, iran and saudi arabia are also restoring their diplomatic ties. the delegation from to run, arriving in saudi arabia also contributed yusef jelly beans as more and they're wanting delegation and technical delegation from iran visit. a saudi arabia was announced by the a wanting foreign ministry that delegation arrived in the capital re all war. it is expected to follow up on the implementation of the piece, the old between one and saudi arabia, which was quenched in the chinese capital,

reaching back in early march. so do you want delegation is expected, is expected to do 3 major things. one is to reopen the one in embassy, real to is to open a console for these monochrome public in the saw the city of judah. 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 code, which is due in late june and early july. so he hopes that the embassies will

officially start working. why then, the similar saudi 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 saudi arabia in the city of mash had of course the few steel came. they told you in early march this year, and he was broken by china as part of efforts to try to escalate the regional troubles in the middle east and also to build mutual funds between you want to so the aware of your security and well, future location of developed our discussion club and it's in chief of russia in global affairs magazine lease as the prioritization of national interest has pushed the middle east to seek peace and cooperation in the region. what we are witnessing now, it's extremely positive and promising development. and we see that many actors of

different conflicts there. they are inclined to, to find solutions of those very, very deep facilities they had. and actually it's a little bit strange to see. but i think the main reason why the atmosphere has changed or is starting to change, there was a more positive scenario. that's that united states we drove from, from this region and pays much less attention to that. the less america they're the more perspective for the settlements. but what i would like to stress is that a russian, the military campaign in ukraine, which started last year, served as a very powerful catalyst for trans in the international development of international

relations. which did not a much last year. they did they, they started much earlier. but now we see that this understanding of major part of the world that they have their own interests. and they have beat africa, asia, latin america, middle east. they have their own interest and they don't want to be used by any body against anybody else. and i think that in general, we have a very positive trend which is very favorable for russia because russian idea it will beyond this particular ukrainian situation. russian idea is to each you for a world where no one can dictate world without huge money and we are and the way they're moving on china has reduced the time it plans to close. yes. base

over tie one next week to just less than half an hour enough instead of the previous, the announced 3 days. now that's all comes as tensions between beijing and taiwan, have escalated, following the tie with these regional leaders trip to the u. s. and visit by american lawmakers also to the island. they responded with drills to send quotes, a serious warning to pro independent forces. now it's not exactly clear why china is closing the states over tie one. on tuesday, the chinese president inspect for the navy. so the 5th command called an armed forces to step up military training. i'll tell him off, and more details was done. the government on taiwan says that china is preparing the launch a war. and they say this in response to the latest drills from the chinese military stimulating and circle ment of the island, the military exercises and also their rhetoric. they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against taiwan. beijing says the thrills 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 talk about a provocation. but taiwan foreign minister doesn't seem to concerns 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 has some c manufacturers, 90 percent of the advance global supply of advance semiconductor chips. 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 usa has been in circling china with military bases for over a decade. and recently the u. s. military just conducted its largest grill yet

today with the philippines. the usa 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 is need to answer, is it interest? exhilarated cry. since one know the worst thing would be to think that if we, europeans, must become followers on this topic. and so you are, you from the u. s. agenda and the chinese overreaction. they haven't crohn is right . we must be careful not to become a part of the conflict between the united states and the people's republic of china . europe must try to play an independent role as far as as possible and not to appear as an appendage of the usa. only 13 countries in the world still recognize

the government in, ty, pay with hon. duress, being the latest to drop taiwan. they through their support behind beijing last month. washington who's relations with taiwan or unofficial and who still plan to adhere to the long standing one. china policy has been an escalating things as much as possible who really benefits from these move. caleb martin art a new york co director of the international action census. sarah flounders so that china is simply responding. so the u. s. is violation of its taiwan 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 off 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 into it. 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 moving on as ukrainian to support and prepare for a counter offensive and the guns republic russian, most crews, on drone operators on the it's hard to all see smart got the sense of this report. spring has arrived through a battered dawn. bass,

trees and greenery are blooming. it changes much. drones will lose their edge. nature will conceal entire armies. these men are now veterans. they've been added since the conflict began. her with the situation is tense, yet stable. we see them begin in moving about, but we are in sleeping. we watched them. this is a 122 millimeter mortar squad. slaved to a drone operator in tandem. they pommel the enemy. mm. mm. south della god of god. just outside lucy chanced may be one of the locations where gradient forces are planning to launch their much higher counter offensive counter offensive from there's been a,

a build up of troops there just a few kilometers away from us. as well as all manner of antennas electron, an electronic warfare, radar jamming equipment that has appeared there, which is why they watch the strewn footage shoes. a russian artillery strike on the house taken over by ukrainian troops within seconds. ukrainian soldiers rush out of a nearby house and head to the scene. they are struck on route with a how it's a shell. through the smoke, they stumble to the scene where an evacuation v 3 head for the house on the right. the rest mill about what exactly that moment. another shell comes screaming in directly on target god with roku. so i remember when we came here last year, we were all fresh and green. we've learned a lot over the past year. there are a lot of things to work on,

but only he who does nothing makes no mistakes. ukraine's much hyped counter offensive is expected soon. and these soldiers know that the more of the enemy, they whittle down, now, the easier it will be. the west must abandon its neo colonial habits when it comes to africa. well, that's the message from russia's ambassador to the un. i'll addressing the security council following his criticism of molly, of a strengthening his ties with moscow. richard norris was once again, we listened to the negative reaction of the number of western colleagues to the strength thing of russian malay in cooperation. we regret the leash moscow continues to assist molly and its ongoing fights against terror groups in the south region. russia's top diplomats recently visited the nation and a bid to further boost cooperation between the 2 countries. the u. s. and the u. k . been particularly spoken about the direction molly's taking nursing. the recent expulsion of the un mission chief, after making critical remarks regarding russia's presence was of great concern. on

the other hand, the long sand presence of friendships in the region was always welcome by western powers though last summer. present micron end of the 9 year mission, leaving thousands of civilians vulnerable for terror attacks. paris had initially intervened the request of the molina authorities in 2013. the relations between the 2 nations declined in the wake of a military true in 2021 or the historian gerald horn. unclear school unlisted, the c. d alarming back. a yoko thinks that the west presence in molly as only made the situation worse, molly's problems commenced in 2011 after the united states friends and the needle powers over through the regime and neighboring libya. which allow tons of weapons to leak into the hands of religious zealots, who then began an insurgency against the regime. interestingly enough, france seized on the opportunity to deposit its troops in molly,

but they did not succeed in repelling the insurgency. and of course, frances, highly unpopular in that part of africa because of its neo colonial pretensions. and dameon mission, of course, was a kind of disaster for the able collision of my lead, more dumb, 9010 years of presenting the sale in my lead. they didn't do anything absolutely anything they were killing all the time. killing of them fell, and the killing of milan sold, jeff, the kidding of civilian embassy th on does it, could it? if occasion it was getting waltz and waltz every day thus wide? in leon a, when a military, it authorities, it took the power in 2020. they decided to develop the 5, their partnership for monday, weed. other count visa m, especially like to wash off for example. and now, over to kazakhstan,

just before we go, where a large fire has broken out. now, astronaut ports, the fire, which covers hates. her in size, is being fueled by dry wood and reeds. 14 fire fighters using special equipments are working to port out the blaze. according to the astronaut, department of emergency situations, press office, as always, will keep you updated us on when we get more information on that. a for more on any of those stories as well as all the latest old dates r t dot com is your place to go. my name is peter scotts, i'll be back at the top of the hour. the goal of today's top stories, thanks for watching. mm. ah ah ah, what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. his on offense, very dramatic and devout. ah
