1:04 am
weeks of arrests and harassment of its clergy. and in some cases, the burning of temples to add insult to injury prayers in russia, and have been forbidden in t f. c, most well known sanctuary. however, in his easter speech, the nations president failed to mention his attempts to push out ethnic russians. i sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrating east today. we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. this is what religious freedom looks like. key of style monks be evicted from a place they've called home for decades. the authorities been cheered on by people with not seen speier, tattoos, and far riots. insignia ah, that smell of european freedom. ah ah
1:05 am
and here's an ironic twist of fate which some have called instant karma. according to witnesses, during one of the church raids, a man snatched the priest's cross, threw it on the ground, and literally moments later the assailant died. if that's not a sign, then i don't know what is. so what is at the heart of the matter, while t of is trying to cleanse its churches from anyone they deem pro russian ban in the russian language and its churches. and even threatening the leadership of the ukrainian orthodox church with jail time, accusing him of inciting religious hatred and justifying russian aggression the law and the responsible to for violating it are the same for every one and a cassock as no guarantee of pure intentions. rushes using religion to promote
1:06 am
propaganda and divide ukrainian society the leader of the monastery metropolitan puzzle has now been placed under house arrest for 2 months. yeah. ready i didn't do anything wrong. i know this is a political case because i was told to switch to the key of backed orthodox church of ukraine, but i refused to. i was threatened. the security service of ukraine came to me and said, a criminal case should be opened against me, and it was, i don't know who planned it. i'm not going to figure out that because it's not my style to sell this. i'm a religious person. so watts at 1000000 still follow him as part of the ukrainian orthodox church. not to be confused with the rival church created just 4 years ago, which was named iran are confusingly, the orthodox church of ukraine. the government decided to terminate a long held lease agreements with the old church and throw them out of the key of picturesque lava the new rival of church than silk over the orthodox christmas service in january. and now they're conducting east to services. there was even the
1:07 am
previous ukrainian present bill at that bought us and come make an appearance. so no doubt, demonstrate his support. and there stand in their frame why ukrainian security forces i harass increase across the country and essentially locked in up the spiritual leader who had been there for years. and this though, the most famous one so far is just one of dozens of criminal cases against priest in the ukrainian orthodox church. here's another example. a priest opens his door and there are those ukrainian security forces once again with accusations of a priest corporates and with russian soldiers and supports in the special military operation. we see orthodox christianity being raped, pilate, and marked right in front of us. the developed society keep silent, that's not what they wrote, human rice declarations and reports on religious freedom for there will be better
1:08 am
occasions like conferences of symposiums. there they will talk about high culture. all this, despite the fact that the ukranian orthodox church has denied claims of endorsing so called russia propaganda, they even went as far as to officially caught their ties with russia last year. the church was under the wing of the moscow patriarch it for centuries bought. it made a formal break with a hierarchy in moscow. a few months after the special military operation began. but even that wasn't enough for caves, authorities and the purge continues a unique chum, swin. everything could be resolved very quickly, and painlessly was during the 1st 3 to 6 months of the war. then it was possible to simply physically clean out many pro russians. today it's a little more difficult, but again, a little harder does not mean impossible. and today we must use legal and tough means to sweep them away. and here's another plan after the purge, according to ukraine's national security adviser,
1:09 am
all the priest that have been detained will be used as a leverage to secure the release of captured ukrainian soldiers. and that seems to be okay with the international community. mm hm. and not all citizens are aware that the priests of the most kirkpatrick kate, are being exchanged for prisoners of war with great pleasure. and there has been more than one such action. where are all the human rights religious freedom love an act of us now? is this ok? the u. s. has previously sanctioned officials for similar violations, the persecution of religious minorities for example. oh, but why it's that was china, not at the cranium body. my bad. we've seen the west regularly farm at the mouth of a gay rights gender writes, well, what about religious rights? does that mean anything any more or only when it comes to ukraine, but it's all falling on the west death ears as no one is making a big deal out of priests been thrown out, evicted,
1:10 am
rated and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive yield, russia, i guess they don't deserve human rights. good. who am on the president? i tell you mister president and all of your gang, our tears won't fall on the ground. they will fall on your head today. you think that by coming to power on our backs on our will, you can treat us like that. god will not forgive you and your family for this deed . because today in these holy moments, 220 brothers are thrown by you on the street. woe to you be afraid. we spoke to a serbian bishop who says that no matter what the conflict is, the church is not at war and should not be persecuted. problem is we do whatever the problems between ukraine and russia or more general between the so called collective western russia, where ukraine serves as the main battle ground. no one has the moral right to drag
1:11 am
the church into this and not just a church, any religious community. it is unprecedented in world history for any one to try to divide the church and decide its fate to interfere in its organisation and structure on the basis that most of them are of the same faith as the parties in the conflict. this is exactly what is happening now in ukraine. they have begun to consider the russian orthodox church as well as russia, as their enemies. more precisely, the ukrainian orthodox church, which has autonomy and is actually independent from the moscow patriarch it. but maintains contacts with it as do all other churches, including our own, the serbian church in ukraine, esc is magic, illegal, and non existent, church is being promoted as a state church that is conducting an inquisition. we, clergy members cannot behave like some politicians. we cannot say that we are on the side of ukraine for example, and therefore for us, there are no victims or no suffering of the other side,
1:12 am
and vice versa. the common ukrainians didn't seek this conflict in the 1st place. it was forced upon them. this is why this kind of behavior towards the church is unacceptable. it is an attack on the heart of orthodoxy. in the broadest sense of the word, the laugh ra is a center of orthodoxy for eastern slavic people. even if someone does not like the concept of a russian world for ukrainian citizens, it is as sacred as for other people who lived in the one state for centuries. that was when there was still no concept of an independent ukraine to persecute the church is to shoot ourselves in the foot. as you cannot infringe on sanctuaries, whatever goals you are pursuing, the church is not at war. it cannot and should not be at war. this is a direct persecution of the church. ah, 56 dead and hundreds more injured as reports of heavy fighting between r s f paramilitary forces and the sudanese army enters the 2nd day.
1:13 am
clash has continued over night in the countries capital of cartoons. the army says its jets have been targeting our assess basis. citizens have been told to remain in their homes while military forces conduct ariel surveys of paramilitary activity. the un security council has called on the warring parties to immediately halt military options. let's get more details from sir don. bass, journalist michael, a, teeth. good morning, michael. can you just give us a rundown on the latest and cartoon, and how things have developed overnights? thank you for having me. question. the 10th predictable x. when over the past night is heavy, got a fire and gunshots could still be around the downtown of capital.
1:14 am
it seems there are promotions. they took also put unity to carry on more information and more during the night. and those attack twisted around the areas where the military backs for the support for as well as this army. life has been restricted civilians, you know, advice to stay home, no movement, no matter movement on the street. but the light also seems to be crippled at the same time. and we don't know what is going to happen during the day, but you statement and culture, the statement from the military ended up in support for the claim. each one of them is claiming to control the percentage of power as well as
1:15 am
the capital into national airport and but we don't know. ready exact time and who is controlling which plays the moment. what do you think of the international communities reaction to the events as far as many people are calling this a cool? do you expect there to be any sort of intervention from the outside? if this is to continue with the situation we are in today, and there is definitely a need for an international intervention that is in need for immediate attention from the international community on the african union. to turn this question to cool down the division and to discuss the tension between the warning in this
1:16 am
vision junior time and vote to the more the the minutes i'm going to suffer because they were not prepared for their stuff enough food for their life. they couldn't be enough all busy, busy things while they had kids in the house. so we went back. busy these few days to go junior and the live good definitely affects this, this is definitely affect the life of them. and we might also want to go to witness a lot of times and robbery because people can say why they're hungry and they need to survive. how in your opinion, did it come to this critical point and how do you see those playing out? okay, the main, the main, the problem,
1:17 am
the main difference between the rapids for me is in the political process in so that as you remember what the actual part of military which is formed by the army president of this year. and it has been used for the past few years for surgery and other areas. but afterwards, the military also again, she's and overthrew the able to get that with the military. and now they're struggling. who is going to be in judge, who should be come out of the army and who should be like their be allowed to lead? i'm in the coming video. the difference is also about the timeframe of the integration process. and then a few days, or few weeks security and reform washer was not up
1:18 am
to reading to grant support was into the ones that are needed according to the framework. but then the 2 years time frame assessing period is totally thing. they need at least 10 years of integration process. so all these different is to get visions of the political interest. i think i would use it to, to do what we are witnessing today. and so that michael, take down based journalist. thank you very much. the army is reported to have reclaimed the national television headquarters overnight. that's after the rest of forces seized control of the building on saturday and suspended the channels broadcast. my bobby little enough about my i had to minus them. know, let's take
1:19 am
a look at how the clashes have unfolded. ah, cut broke tunes and we woke to the sound of wiring. we were really scared, as we so armed forces in full gear. the army forces checked everywhere possible, all rosalind to the capital to presidential office and critical areas will be given a work closed. we can't feel other use as the foreign is ongoing and there are forces that would detect us if we do that, we are so terrified right now. i
1:20 am
just recently, we heard bombings and the sound of screaming. now the atmosphere in the city is less aggravated after the armed forces bombarded r. s f positions that i think this is the calm before the storm. as the r s f stated, they will dispatch their forces here with amid the chaos and sudan, neighboring chad has closed its borders with the country. russia and several other nations have also expressed concern about the escalation in our calling for a cease fire. while the u. s has urged for the formation of a transitional government ortiz,
1:21 am
parabola. toddler has the details. the dramatic events taking place in sudan cause serious concern in moscow. we call on the parties to the conflict, to show political will and restraint and take urgent steps towards a ceasefire. we proceed from the fact that any disagreements can be settled through negotiations. pasco have come out saying that they expect the situation to move from a military engagement phase and into a negotiated phase in the coming hours. whether that will happen is still to be seen by the russian embassy has said that the situation in, in cartoon remains turbulent and fresh air. and they've called on russian citizens in to then to take cover and to stay in their houses in a way of from windows, as the situation continues to escalate. but we've heard among some of the
1:22 am
other a neighboring countries. for instance, we've heard in egypt, foreign ministry coming out of the statement, saying that the edge both parties to de escalate and move into a state that would allow for negotiations and allow for progress to be made towards a transitional government. egypt is full when with great concern, the developments and sudan with the ongoing clashes there it calls on also any spots still exist, maximum, restrain to protect the lives and capabilities of the brotherly sudanese people. and so the whole, the supreme interests of the homeland and then a blinking also came out with a fade land as the u. s. secretary of state saying that there might be other players who are in the reason and against the formation of a transitional government, which would later lead to a civilian government in sudan. he says that this is basically an intimation that,
1:23 am
that they, if a coup against what would be a severe in government in sudan. and we've also heard from the u. s. ambassador to sedan, john godfrey, who says that they are continuing to take shelter and their thing away from the windows and such. and that you know, that they're worried about the record gunfire sounds of the hearing outside of their compound in khartoum. and the urge both players to de escalate and to really move into a position of authority from both the representatives of the iris f as well as to dance army. now back on to the anthony blinking, had intimated that there should be a swift, formation of a civilian lead government, which would facilitate the end lead to a creation of a civilian government in a country that really has not enjoyed any stability since the ousting of omar
1:24 am
russia beg in 2019, he is more from anthony lincoln. i spoke with sovereign council chair general abdel for to help her hand to day to highlight your support for sudanese democratic aspirations and urged the suite formation of civilian law transitional government. now of course we continue to look and follow the development of this, ah, conflict that's happening in kind of tune primarily. but that threatens the why the country that is to then of course. so then being part of this, i held us worried that this conflict could further am balls that those that are fighting within that reason the routing about countries like shed and countries that have known instability because there is what surroundings then we're talking about. if yoga was recently had its own civilian conflict, and if we're talking about countries such as a tree or, and we were looking at south sudan,
1:25 am
which has really been the more stable of the new was bud and instability in sudan, which ultimately to spill over into other countries and could prevent a reading for a long strife for that region. and there is a big worry around what could happen in the region as a whole, especially when one looks at the flow of guns that have been readily available within that region. so it's, it's a big concern, but of course it's worth noting that neither if yoga nor chant or chia also sudan had offered any statements from the ministry with regards to the ongoing conflict in hungary and poland have imposed a temporary ban on the import of green and other food products from ukraine. warsaw says the move is aimed at protecting its domestic food market. while budapest is
1:26 am
afraid of economic destabilization due to the uncontrolled inflow of cheap produce, he have has had back at poland, accusing it of going back on a previous deal. the decisions of the polish side contradict our agreements. we understand that polish farmers are in a difficult situation, but we emphasize that ukrainian farmers are in the most difficult situation right now. the influx of cheap ukrainian grain into european countries and recent months has led to plummeting profits for local producers. worse as ban on imports comes just days after polish farmers rallied in protest. here the border with ukraine. the transit of grain across the e. u has flooded local markets polish, protesters se grade supplies from cab should be sealed like weapons shipments to prevent european markets from over a saturation. however, a global policy researchers, georgia on welly says the you isn't concerned about those complaints. this was
1:27 am
entirely predictable that you, when you dump on millions of tons of the ukrainian grain on to europe's markets. you're going to be cause an absolute, a rifka prices for europe's farmers. now, the european union is not really that concerned about the plight of europe. smile, it's actually wanted to drive out much of europe for farmers out of business already because it's a, you know, you doesn't like all the animal products that it produces doesn't like all the nitrogen that can produce. so it's actually been quite in favor of a sharply diminishing the number of farms in europe. so they're not exactly weeping tears over the complaints of bulgarian hungaria, and the romanian and central farmers. now let's talk about russian grain. several global corporations have announced their intention to exit russia's brain export
1:28 am
industry, stopping operations in the country by july operations that range from harvesting to logistics. that's going to leave a domestic void. but one of russia's agricultural giants is expected to step up and pick up the slack, buying out the assets. that means daily operations will continue as before, and qualified specialists and suppliers will get on with providing russian food to the world. and russian green exports are on the rise growing customer basis for a 3rd year, including the expansion to the middle east and africa. since the black, the initiative was signed last july, more than 23 1000000 tons of grades and other food products have been shipped from ukraine. but as the black sea green deal with ukraine is set to expire, moscow may have to consider if it's in its best interest to sign an extension.
1:29 am
especially a mid russian claim that western partners are holding up their side of the deal. we've done. but we have approached this with a degree of aggravation and we have offered to extend the steel for only 60 days. that is based on the fact that if there is no further progress in removing obstacles against russian fertilizer and grain exports, we will have to consider whether or not we really need this deal. and alternative may be to increase trade partnerships with countries like saudi arabia, algeria, and south africa, and get weeds ultimately to those nations most the need. and while rushes military operation in ukraine is being painted as the main cause of global hunger, western traders involved in the black sea grain deal are reaping the benefits from all the food exports that have left ports there. developed countries have received nearly half of that. according to the russian union of great next borders,
1:30 am
the poorest nations got just 6 per cent. one of the reasons why direct partnerships with consumers may be a better option. and so i'm going to look across companies. i see our own companies have already surpassed foreign ones many times over.
