show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way things ah, which is f, as b says, ukrainian special services and the russian opposition members were involved in the killing of a war, journalists, cafe bombing earlier this month, also this our many years of us mil to occupation viewed with u. s. counter terrorism efforts in afghanistan have only made terrorist more ramped china point the finger at the u. s. navy. so for the crisis in afghanistan, i was during a summit to address security concerns related to cobble syria and iran, restoring relations with saudi arabia, us as react raises the possibility of damascus is return to the arab league. also ahead of just outside jobs. maybe one of the locations

with applied in the law that much higher calendar offensive counter offensive from a cruise operate, as it is expected to launch a counter offensive with the live from our studio here in the russian capital. you're watching the international. i'm peter scott's here with all the latest this thursday afternoon. i'm off goes f. s b has said that the killing of russian war journalists, london, sitarski earlier this month was organized by ukrainian special services and partially inspired by russian opposition abroad. malaria, my colleague fiorella, isabel, spoke to our tea correspondent, marina call server, 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 a 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 b implants for quite some time, according to their findings. this man came a few months before the terrorist attack took place. he was tracking of lapland to tar, ski's 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, they 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 laughed to armenia and then continued on to her team. now, rushes investigative committee has opened a 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,

the 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 rational position. so you mentioned that the f s b has identified opposition groups having a hand in the terrorist attacks what role that they play? well, their role was mainly in fight and hatred and calling for 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 vonny. now he had fond as the and to 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 sum of 2022 alexson of ali behind bars, he states that he would relaunch 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 corruption foundation, some people who no matter what participate and protest organized 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. he's a request from the mom in law, given that we've got an armed 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 diet that was inspired by calls such as those that really now this isn't the 1st time marina, that moscow has accused ukrainian forces of committing crimes against pro russian

figures. it is not the 1st time for a law at all. we know as soon as this happens with blood, lend to char sky straight away. everyone remembered what happened in august of 2022 . why and we saw the killing of daddy do dinner. he 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, the crimea bridge. ukraine, 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 happened. and some are, we've seen ukrainian officials themselves hauling for attacks on boston for law square in particular for example. so even though they deny responsibility, the f s b has time and time again, seen evidence and prove that they are behind these terrorist attacks. and

the news today, foreign ministers from countries neighboring afghanistan has got the news. becky's done to discuss the current economic and political turmoil engulfing cobble. the chinese representative, the hoss condemned us involvement in african, the stuff after 20 years of completely failed military interventions. the u. s. and later, military forces have pulled out of denison and the future of afghanistan is back in the hands of the afghans. the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan was carefully planned strategically to focus on target in china and russia. the u. s. was 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 kind of foreign minister thing gone demonstrated that today the

stress and we just heard the constructive role of 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 the humanitarian progress in particular he criticized the west for continuing to raise occurrence reserves around $7000000000.00 were seized and i still inaccessible to you. i've got people and 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 a 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 and of galveston leads and so called 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 this day. 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 and constructive or destructive involvement of western powers. and that's going to be the focus of our meetings later on today. when the ministers from china, russia,

pakistan, and iran will meet with a, with a number of data, central asian colleagues from tickets time from becky. stan, i'm from, took manisha on those countries are still being courted by the west to read 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 bad 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 economy development. here, a serious foreign minister has arrived in saudi arabia, thus, as the 2 nations aimed to restore relations after more than 10 years, or yet said, hope for an end to the conflict in syria, as well 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 discussed

the steps necessary to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of the syrian crisis. that would, and all repercussions, a chief national reconciliation contribute to the return of syria toots air fault, and the resumption of its role in the arab world. a sylvia also announced the mutual reopening of embassies with tonisha for the 1st time in a decade with the 2 nations continuing consultations on waste to further restore their relations. shanicea savage, diplomatic relations with syria. shortly after the outbreak of the conflicts in damascus over a decade ago, fiscal, unless tarik, i'll ahmed said the u. s. isn't happy to see middle eastern countries coming together. 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. may be 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 and new strategy, maybe over a over saudi to the world and also to syria. we read also about that that, that the u. s. were was not very happy with these every connection between syria and the other countries, but there is no, no other way. if these recalls consolation of the other relation between syria and the other countries, it will not be done all that, that region is in danger. meanwhile, iran on saudi arabia, also restoring diplomatic ties. the delegation forms are on arriving saudi arabia, archie, contributor, you said jol ali has more details and they're wanting delegation of technical delegation from iran visit a saudi arabia was announced by the a wanting foreign ministry. that delegation arrived in the capital re all were it

is expected to follow up on the completion of the piece, the old beginning of on install, the irregular which was flinched in the chinese capital beijing back in early march . so do you want delegation is expected, is expected to do 3 major effects. one is to reopen the one in embassy, real to east, to open a console for the moment republican, the saw the city of judah, and we used to open a permanent representative of these long republic to be 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 sports person for the foreign ministry, he said that efforts have been made to reopen the embassies before the arrival of the annual hedge co rich,

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. he's 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 the launch consulate for saudi arabia in the city of mash out. of course the few steel came. they told you in early march this year. and he was brokered by china as part of efforts to try to escalate the regional troubles in the middle east. and also to build mutual cross between you want to saudi arabia, into security, in the region. a geopolitical analyst, ahmed abraham told us that our people in the region wants a piece that can only be reached by working together. a region actually moving,

moving, they have a vision 2030 that they went to accomplish us with the gc countries. these kind of this cannot be achieved unless you actually have a stable region. so all these things that china came into a picture now and the trying to, you know, give you guarantee to the region whether it was or not iran own on yemen or in many positive region. and i think it's working so far. so the only thing that dave is eating with other gc countries and egypt and others rock also that maybe these kinds of things that they are doing collectively is going to bring some piece into release in north africa over to asia where china is reduced the time it plans to close the space over taiwan next week to just less than half an hour. and so the previously announced 3 days. now this all comes as tensions between beijing on sky, one of escalated, following the time. we need regionally, this trip to the u. s. as well as visits by american law makers to the island,

i responded with jails to send quote, a serious warning to pro independence forces. this is not exactly why china is closing the space over, tie one on tuesday, the chinese president inspect for the navy. so the see if the command on cold on, on forces to step up military training fees, kennimore bon bons, there's 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 their 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 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 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 wanting? she has some c manufacturers, 90 percent of the advance global supply of advanced 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 drill 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 the 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 ham 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 play an independent role as far as possible and not to appears in 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 asked elating things as much as possible. who really benefits from these moves caleb, mapping ards, a new york. a quarter of a to of the international action census, sarah flounders says that china simply responding to the u. s. his violation of his 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 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 fantasy in another day of protests against president microns pension reform policies. o significant disruptions to public transport are occurring in the french capital as widespread civil unrest over the reforms continues across the country. police officers in paris have already been seen using force against protesters, and this all comes on the eve of the constitutional council's decision, which is set to fully approve the new pension age of 64, up from 62,

as always will keep you updated as the story develops as national russia africa, i'd see, form capes off in moscow. gus, gathering government officials, as well as the heads of companies and educating institutions. the 2 day sessions are taking place before the main event. the russia, africa, economic forum, which will cover topics including the digital economy, health care and public administration. so highlights, cooperation between russia and africa in these related fields. and louis mando, an expert from zimbabwe, open university, says the form should help africa achieve technological independence. who are looking for partnership in different technology, provide us in that space. so i mean, mainly because we're looking at our own, our own technologies that we can develop in rushing africa. so that will give

us more technology, technological independence. and also many, if we're looking at additional one on the mentality, cyber security. so this way to do it in put in to come up with our own technologies . so i think from these corporation, from this forum, we're going to we, if, but an issue between the russian companies in these and bubbling and also african companies to so that, to get that we can create our own solutions that we can use to actually talk transformation in the public sector, we have a place that in africa, we can start with new technologies into doing of that illegal date or to technologies. so i believe we who are good to take or is or posted to live at a unit technology. so be companies from the waste, you know, microsoft is on, but again, from that a say to the technology comes in, it's a huge cost to africa and that's where we need our own home going solutions that we can do. but now she poor fool. similar liking leg may depend with legacy

ok, i'm see wagner units are pushing out the ukranian army from the city center of bachman . according to the russian defense ministry. as the ski of troops are effectively surrounded with supply routes being cuts off, a russian airborne troops are providing support to the wagner fights as flanks blocking efforts for ukrainian counter offensive. as comes as local danielle republic authorities said it's 80 percent of backwards is now under russian control . in crane tubes are reportedly preparing for counter offensive in lou ganske or russian motor cruise until operators are also on the attack artes mar, gusty of centers. this report. spring has arrived to our batter, 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. with the bitter laguna, the situation is tense, yet stable. we see them digging in moving about, but we are in sleeping. we watch them. this is a 122 millimeter mortar squad. slaved to a drone operator in tandem. they pommel the enemy. mm mm. wow. so delegate of gust just outside. lizzie chance may be one of the locations where credit 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 and external 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 vehicle has pulled up 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. that's all for now. debbie schultz checkouts all c dot com for all the latest breaking news on the dates. in the meantime, we'll see a right back here at the top of the hour. thanks for watching. ah ah ah ah ah.
