the kindergarten has also been hit. first responders are on the scene working tirelessly to contain the blaze. fortunately, no children were inside when the missile struck and in the embattled city of the moscow, so known as path moods. pmc that in our troops and their chief, you get a free version have help civilians evacuate after celebrating easter together with those who died in this war with the boys, the storm troopers, they even held tusk. carry our bags. i was touched to be honest. the red cross estimates there are thousands of people still living in arkansas mosque, which became a brutal war zone. last year. don yet republic authorities have reported ukrainian nationalists are using them as human shields. to stall the russian advance, though,

there have been reports from locals, that the key of regime has been taking away children in order to force parents to choose ukrainian humanitarian corridors instead of the ones set up by moscow. while ukraine strikes churches and don, yes, kids also persecuting practitioners. authorities in kiev have announced that orthodox easter is banned in the capital. a mandated curfew has been put into effect in order to forbid churchgoers from attending traditional evening masses. however, catholic easter last week was not prohibited that comes as the ukrainian orthodox church has been banned in multiple ukrainian regions, follow weeks of a russ and harassment of its clergy. and in some cases the burning of temples. to add insult to injury prayers in russia, have been forbidden and here most well known sanctuary. however, in his easter speech, the nations president failed to mention as attempts to push out ethnic prussian i

sincerely congratulate ukrainians and all christians who are celebrating easter to day. we may have different religions, but we all believe in freedom. this is what religious freedom look slight key of style. monks been 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 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 than i don't know, what is. so what is at the heart of the matter? well, cheer was trying to cleanse its churches from anyone they deem pro russian ban in their awesome language in 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 responsibility for violating are the same for every one and a cassock is no guarantee of pure intentions. rushes using religion to promote propaganda and divide ukrainian society, the leader of the monastery metropolitan puzzle has now been placed under house arrest for 2 months. yeah. 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 if millions still follow him as part of the ukranian orthodox church, not to be confused with the rival church created just 4 years ago, which was named iran or 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 arrival at church than silk over the orthodox christmas service in january. and now they're conducting east to services there with even the previous ukrainian present bill that of potash and come make an appearance to no doubt demonstrate his support and their stand in their frame while ukrainian security forces i harass increased 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, bullied and mocked. right in front of us. the developed society keeps silent, that's not what they wrote, human rights declarations and reports on religious freedom for there will be better 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 russian 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 bots. 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 perks continues a unique chance when 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 prey 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, 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 this year. i'm 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 what it's that was china, not at the cranium buddy. my bad. we've seen the wes regularly form at the mouth of our gay rights gender rights. well, what about religious rights? does not 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 priest. been thrown out and victim rated and persecuted in ukraine. since they are suspected of having a positive view of 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. brooklyn is the 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 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 organization 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 to all other churches, including our own, the serbian church in ukraine, escalade 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 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 be at war. this is a direct persecution of the church 56 dead and hundreds more injured as reports of heavy fighting between recept paramilitary forces and the sudanese, the army enters the 2nd day. local journalists, michael, a cheat reports from sudan. if he got, if i could still be around the downtown of capital, it seems that person to go. so i need to carry on more information and

more time during the night and those around the area where the military backs for the board, for as well as this army. life has been restricted, you know, advice to stay home. know many, many, many on the street, but the light also seems to be crippled at the same time. we don't know the exact time who is controlling which slave moment the army has reported to have reclaimed national television headquarters overnight. that's after our forces seize control of the building on saturday and suspended the channels broadcast mob the little enough about how to manage them. know the un security council has

also called on the warring parties to immediately halt military actions. let's take a closer look at how the events have unfolded. ah, cut broke joins and we woke to the sound of firing. 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 of the capital were closed. we can't feel other views as the foreign is ongoing and there are forces that would detect us if we do that, we are so terrified right now. 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. but i think this is the calm before the storm. as the r s f stated, they will dispatch their forces here. amid the chaos in sudan, neighboring chad has close 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. our teeth, horrible atalla 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 cease fire. 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 and negotiated faith 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 fragile. and they've called on russian citizens in to them 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 other i neighboring countries, for instance, we've heard in egypt, foreign ministry coming out of the statement thing 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 in sudan with the ongoing clashes there. it calls on also any spots still exist, maximum, restrain, to protect the lives and gap abilities of the brotherly sudanese people. and so the whole, the supreme interests of the homeland albany blinking also came out with a fable end of the u. s. secretary fe, 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, or an intimation that, that they, if a coup against what would be a civilian government in sudan. and we've also heard from the u. s. ambassador to stand john godfrey who says that they are continuing to take shelter and their thing away from the windows and fights. and that, you know, if they're worried about the record gunfire sounds that the hearing outside of their compound, in cartoon, 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 led government, which would facilitate and lead to a creation of a civilian government in

a country that really has not enjoyed any stability since the ousting of omar 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 a civilian law transitional government. now of course we continue to look and follow the bella lens of this conflict that's happening in kind of tune primarily. but that threatens the why, the country that is then of course. so then being part of this, i held us worried that this conflict could further. busy embossed are those that are fighting within that reason the routing about countries like shed and countries that have known instability because that is what surroundings then we're talking about. ethiopia was recently had its own civilian conflict,

and we're talking about countries such as a tree. and we were looking at south sudan, which is really been the more stable of the neighbors. but as an instability in sudan would ultimately spill over into other countries and could prevent a really prolong 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 your pia nor chant or a chia or south, then had offered any statement from the ministry. with regards to the ongoing conflict in sweden, hungary and poland have imposed a temporary ban on the import of brain and other food products from ukraine. warsaw

says the move is aimed at protecting its domestic food market. while budapest is afraid of economic destabilization due to the uncontrolled inflow of cheap produce, here 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. in recent months, the influx of cheap ukrainian grain into european countries has led to plummeting profits for local producers. warsaw, the ban on imports comes just days after polish farmers routers say grain supplies from calgary and grain imports. in a recent letter to the european commission, the prime minister of 5 eastern european countries, the tariffs on ukrainian agricultural import should be considered as laws compensation for local producers. however, global policy researchers,

doors them wildly says the e u isn't concerns about those complain. this was entirely predictable that you, when you dump, owing millions of tons of the ukrainian grain onto europe's markets. are you going to beat calls an absolute, a rifka prices for europe's farmers. now, the european union is not really that concerned about the plight of europe. small as i mean, it's actually wanted to drive out much of europe for farmers out of business already, because it's either he doesn't like her. all the animal products that he's produces doesn't like all the nitrogen the cows produced. so it's actually been quite in favor of a sharply diminishing the number of farms in europe. so them on exactly weeping tears over the complaints of bulgarian hungarian, the romanian,

sexual farmers. the french government intends to accelerate reforms responding to the worries and anger of the population. that's the message coming from the country's prime minister, following the adoption of controversial pension reforms by president emanuel mac, chrome. new trivia for in better yoder when passing through serious times, which a tough for many of our fellow citizens war is at the gates of europe. the consequences of climate change rising prices, the feeling that public services are slipping away from keyma group to so we have a duty to listen to our constituents, to listen to their worries or fears and under the statement follows months of protest against raising the country's retirement age by 2 years, during which police violently suppress demonstrators. ah,

the prose has started back in march and engulf not only the capital, but a number of other cities, including marseilles and to lou demonstrator set cars, garbage and even police stations on fire. the french president defended the bill, saying it would help avoid pension deficits. yet, according to polls, he failed to convince 2 thirds of the population with the pension age rise, becoming the biggest domestic challenge of mac crowns. second term, local say the initiative is a manifestation of a talker. see rebuke, let him know that we must not forget that the violence initially came from the bosses in the form of enforcing an employment worker enforcing 2 more years of working for miserable wages. let me know,

like i'm not the best way to frame the order of the days a definitive and total retreat of a villainous project, which is a nationwide insult to what walker. subbing for me. this is the ultimate slap in the face of decisions. they are autocratic and no longer reflect the democracy that is supposed to be in france to day to central mexico. now, were a group of gunmen stormed a water park, taking the lives of 7 people. warning. some viewers may find the following images disturbing. according to authorities, a group of our men stormed a resort, or dozens of vacationers were spending the weekend. 6 adults were subsequently killed with one child among the victims. the attackers managed to flee the scene after destroying a shop and taking security cameras. a man hut is currently underway the broader cooperation between russia, china, and african countries will lead self sufficiency and eventually move away from the

dollar. that's what robert hawkins advisor to the u. s. congresswoman alexandria. kathy cortez and elizabeth warren discusses in the latest episode of option, returns is going underground. you can watch the full interview here on our tea tomorrow. but here's a sneak peak. there is a good deal more talk now about the dollarization than there used to be. i think largely going to the fact that a number of the brick nations and other nations as well are trying to kind of get out from under the us dollar as the sort of principle trans national currency. so if you had a training block form, say, between china, russia, maybe some other bricks, members, maybe all the other bricks members and maybe a few other nations is highly likely that you would actually have the makings of a kind of on tarkey within that particular training block, as we know, russia has vast natural resources as well as

a great deal of technical know how we also know, of course, that africa is very resource rich in china in particular. but also russia have been expanding their trade relations and their economic relations with africa. and you know, between africa, russia and china, it would seem to me that you got the same sort of diversity of resource availability and maybe even a greater degree of diversity of resource availability and productive capacity. then you have say, in north america or in europe as a whole. so if a block of some sort of form among those countries, they would be simply no need for them to rely on the dollar or to be dollar dependence. and thus they would be no real danger posed to them by dollar related sanctions. ah, that's a rap on the hour. and we stop stories. i'm coming up many who left russia in the early ninety's after the aftermath of the cold war are returning. and this time,

with a conscious desire to help cultivate their ancestors land the discussion next on worlds apart. take both, ah a hello and welcome to wells apart. when i was coming of age in the early 19 nineties to ride in the aftermath of the cold war, the biggest dream for many youngsters around the world was to get a scholarship or even a one way plane ticket to western country. and never look back fitting your song. many of those seekers of greener grass or about a life returning home with

a conscious desire to help cultivate or.
