front lines. the possibility that it will further escalate appears. hi, russia and ukraine helping amassing forces near the city of lisa chance in the lou ganske republic, r t, senior correspondent, morocco, the of isn't bad. it, but russian troops and sent us this exclusive report. russian and ukrainian forces stand braced for the coming onslaught across a 1000 kilometers. this is one small section of it. we are just west of lacy chance, cuppa or slag hill. but from here there's no spectacular view of the bible field. this. nearby village is controlled by russia. bill of good just for your mouth is bill are going to go, which is which is where ukrainian troops are concentrated, were learning that more and more troops are arriving to belgrade of co, perhaps ahead of the expected ukrainian counterfeit of which may also take place

here as this, the geography is conducive of ha, a big ahmed offensive it's. it's all rolling plains to the other side. is another intense battlefield over there behind those lag hills is grima nyah and the forests there between came and i am bela got of her have been again and absolutely vicious battle ground for for many, many months now the a ukrainian positions are a belly, a killer belly, a kilometer into those woods where you crane masses, men, and material russian guns are quickly brought to bear. they never stay long. in one position. count a battery far necessitates rotation. they've plenty of spots. russia has 4 to 5 in

depth with trenches, mine field stitches and anti tank obstacles in the air. jets roar! ah loos, repairs suits with the 5 closed ground support aircraft. they work ceaselessly here on this sector of the front line, firing predominantly unguided missiles. ah, jetson drones pound, ukrainian troops and armor ceaselessly, native supplied the army and vehicles later the battlefield. in all the troops here are confident that they'll be able to ride out ukraine's offensive law thing at mission. joe, from of them rouse good. where holding the line excited, the situation is stable. the guys are ready to repel any attack that element. we're

in the smaller, we're confident that the enemy won't manage to thank you for also to fight area. the only one is, was sure they won't break through it as is it, they reward the finance period is at its highest we will determine attack and will contact house house, both artillery and now the asian back us. so there is nothing was scandal here. say the conflict may soon reach its violent peak, but the risks keep mounting hostility between russia and nato, as well as its allies, is stronger than ever. if there is a situation the international community can not condone such as any large scale attack on civilians, massacre or serious violation of the laws of war, it might be difficult for us to insist only on humanitarian or financial support. this hostility is still escalating. washington seems determined to ring its allies for weapons. no matter how reluctant they may seem. ayesha as always takes its

own steps. there are new people willing to help our enemies, south korean president you and suck your said his state is ready to supply weapons to the key of regime. that's as until recently, the south koreans fervently assured that the possibility of supplying lethal weapons to keep was completely excluded. i wonder what the residents of this country will say when they see the latest samples of russian weapons at their closest neighbors, are partners from the dpr k, quid pro quo, so to speak. the risk of a right away escalation, open and direct conflict between nato and russia, is at its all time high. and he, regardless of how successful ukraine's counter offensive ease is a high chance that one will the other side will decide to raise the stakes. even higher, more i'd gasdio haughty formula, ganske region. no rushes children's rights commissioner has been helping to

evacuate youngsters shooting many orphans from and bustled areas of ukraine on don path since the start of the conflict last year. but the international criminal court has prompted her a war criminal and issued on the arrest warrant for her actions. rear alova bell over spoke exclusively to r t about her work. ah, if it yes, yes. these are children who had been transferred to health resorts in the crimea and present our region from active war zones in and around. your son is upper osha and her cough. the transfer was entirely voluntary with parents asking for their children to be moved somewhere safe. where they could continue to go to school and have a healthy routine. unfortunately, the front line moved due to the changing combat situation and some families were unreachable because of it. so it became impossible to return the children to their families without delay. at the time, there were about 2500 children in our custody,

who had spent some time at health resorts in crimea. i want to emphasize that it was completely free of charge for the families who took this opportunity to keep their children safe from all the bombings and showings and who no longer feared for their lives. men of fighting age were not allowed to cross the front line to pick up their kids. and we could only transfer children to their legal guardians. we had to make sure that children didn't end up in the hands of scammers. many mothers weren't ready to come and pick them up because they either had younger children to look after or had financial troubles. but by the end of the year, we had only about $400.00 children, still waiting for their families to pick them up. right now we only have 8. we know that ukraine didn't evacuate children, it wasn't a priority. for example, when mary, opal was under fire and it was an active combat zone. the ukrainian army use children as human shields, placing them in the same windows as sharpshooters. we have testimonies from the children themselves and from their family members who were around at the time. they

started talking about evacuating children from bach mood only when it became impossible to stay in the city even for adults, let alone children. the current basis for the allegations is a ukrainian website called children of war, which displays photos of children that do not match the accompanying information. we have found that our office has already worked with several children on this site and reunited them with their relatives in ukraine. but these children are still up on the site with the same wrong information. do you know what is interesting when parents or legal representatives are volunteers with proxies from close relatives come to pick up children. some of them tell about the preparations that ukrainian armed forces put them through before they are able to leave and pick up their children. they are instructed on arrival to say terrible things happening in those camps and to collect all the contacts. this was exposed by our law enforcement agencies. we have 8 children in crimea right now,

ukrainian children. our staff started searching for their relatives in january, when there were $400.00 children. there are office tried to call their relatives to find out the reason for the delay. you see volunteer to come to get these children are not allowed to contact official russian authorities including my office. so we came up with a complicated plan and we sent our volunteers to negotiate. it's volunteers from russia and from ukraine, and we support and assist them from the outside. by the time we got involved, some of the children's relatives had already gone to e u. countries now most of the relatives of those 8 children are in e u. countries which of course complicates their re union depleted uranium ammunition being sent to ukraine by u. k. authorizes the hugely controversial move has brought people in london to the streets and protest of the british government's decision to supply kia with the

radioactive arms. demonstrators call for the decision to be reversed. the use of the ammunition which has been linked to new risk health issues and previous conflicts is designed to be used by the challenger types. the britain sent a key of last month. and activists who took part in the protest told us that while mainstream reporting doesn't give the full picture, many people are aware of what's happening in ukraine. we've organized emergency protest sending depleted uranium sales to ukraine. we've done our best to communicate our protests to white and older as possible, including newspapers like the daily telegraph. busy the daily mail, sunday tele, various other newspapers, the activists who had been protesting for 9 years. it's the 2014 new trade off with the british government to, to end it. what we regarded,

even then as an illegal regime, britain is getting billions in, in a minute, create an economic a to train at a time when energy prices have gone sky high, people are struggling. a lot of people are aware of the truth and we prayed, which is quite amazing when you consider the reporting here, it's totally an awfully one. so i did say recycle the stories from lies. well, as mentioned depleted uranium, munitions hub in use and other combat zones. let's go through that. both the u. k, the united states of a history with the contentious weapons during the 1st gulf war. the countries use hundreds of tons of the radioactive substance and during the 2nd war in iraq in 2003, up to 2000 tons were employed during only a 3 week period. another striking example was nato's bombing of yugoslavia,

999. with the consequences of depleted uranium usage still being felt today, we heard from a patient puzzling cancer. the said that the remnants of the material is the root cause of his illness. yet i love generally tolerate the therapy with difficulty. the therapy itself is difficult and last quite a long time. as for my mental and physical condition, i'm very exhausted. i don't move much because i can't move because of the therapy. when i'm in the hospital, the therapy starts at 9 in the morning and ends at 8 in the evening. it's 10 hours of lying down a day, and it all depends on how well i tolerate the cycle. in the 2nd cycle, i enjoy heavy therapy. i had a high temperature and i fell into a coma. it's a temperature coma, but the doctors helped me and they told me that it must be so difficult because the therapy itself is difficult and the disease has spread. cancer has affected the lungs, lymph glands, and the main aorta. so i take a lot of medicine. i'm suspected that my illness is

a consequence of the nato bombing. and when i came to belgrade, the doctors confirmed it to me that the bombing was the main cause of my illness. and that it was a consequence of the bombing, in particular, the depleted uranium ammunition that they use to attack us. here is the main reason why cancer appears in people. it is not chris was what it is that affects the body . but the doctor explained to me that these are the consequences that appear after a certain number of years. they told me that i'm young, healthy and strong, and that's why i did not feel anything at the beginning. late at the body subsides, a lot has accumulates in the body or environment in which we live is polluted. ah, or at another story to tell you about today? russia's foreign minister has arrived in havana, sir. yell of ralph's in cuba, as part of a trip to boost diplomatic ties with south on central american countries. it comes of the country's president miguel diaz canal this week secured a 2nd. her talks with the allan nations reelected leader are expected later a day. cuba is the final stop on minister le for off for country latin american

tour. on wednesday he visited nicaragua and outline the importance of uniting efforts the counter western had gemini. voluminous multi polarity is the result of times in objective historical process that cannot be stopped. although the collective west rallying under the umbrella of so called american exceptionalism is trying to do so together with nicaragua and other like minded people, we will actively oppose this drawing attention to the unacceptability of such behavior. in today's world, you might was, he was in nicaragua, sir, gala ralph hell talks with the countries present. daniel ortega, they discussed the d for a partnership occurring between the nations, the progress of current cooperation projects and the influence of u. s. i g at the start of mr. lever offs to brazil and venezuela were the 1st countries to welcome him across the atlantic. latin america specialist danny shaw

says the region should further align with russia and china to counter us dominance there. washington will continue to stop at nothing to maintain imperial control. that is diplomatic, economic, political, and military control of the hemisphere. it'll be 200 years since the anniversary of the monroe doctrine and how many centuries, how many decades of gun bo, diplomacy of the big stick of us arrogance in the region. so across the region, there's a lot of our enthusiasm, the new role that. ready russians have now played in the chinese in this is why we can now talk of a multi polar world. begins the bolivians, the nicaraguans, the been as well as the cubans and the online america, any sanction people are now able to defy washington unipolar designs because they have alternatives, especially in the economic realm. you only way to break the decades and decades at

u. s. lack mil of south america in the caribbean, that is blackmail through unilateral. ready unilateral sanctions in an image in economic blockade, the only way to break that is the greater unity, greater integration. so the visit of surg, elaborate to characterize and then to managua, would not come soon enough for the toiling, struggling fighting people of the region. last turned attention to africa where the president of uganda has unveiled the 1st over hold russian made helicopter on the african continent, south of the sahara. during the event, you are re, this event spoke about productive bilateral cooperation between the 2 countries, adding there's no limit for the partnership between mosque line compiler. this is another example of our excellent and long standing relations with russia based on a convergence of interests that continue to bear logical dividend for africa and

russia. russia has never had a problem with us. we never had a problem with russia. the russians have been our partners for the last 100 years. but it was just last year when a service center for russian made helicopters, it was opened in uganda. and now the 1st such aerial vehicle has successfully taken off the ceremony. the president noted there's a demand for russian equipment in africa which should lead to increased business development. at the same time he condemn western countries for trying to drive a divide between long term partner, russia, and african states. same nations need the freedom to make their own choices. a president must have, and i also call from we're russian investment in the agricultural industry to uganda depends on russian produce, fertilizers, who's imports have been difficult over the last year due to the ukraine conflict. local correspond, incentives, this report about the current supply issues. dakota is the backbone of uganda,

employing more than 70 percent of the east african countries anti workforce. the sip that i did is raise on fundraisers from russia and one of the biggest importers . you've got crop care is just this for tries to both big and small farmers throughout the country. sir, i've seen the director of the company encourages more risk as to 40 rushes footsteps. this is a foreclosure ah, it is far magnesium sulfate. however, it is not produced and not a bolting from the us here, but the raw material of this product is come in progress. yes. so you can understand without raw material you can not produce. so if there are ca, this dog, and you can not a book, then you can not get to this. and i say as does between russia and uganda continue to grow. compiler must insist on interest that focus more on adding value to each agriculture sector and employing of its young people who make up more than 70 percent of the population. and men of them who don't hold former jobs or we are an

agricultural economy. most of our people are from us and you could see there are many graduates, we're a no with all jobs. so i would imagine that the best thing that needs to be done by our leaders is to prioritize and key areas that comes puck off our use to get opportunities. what exactly needs to be done and receipts, spangled the youth. the need to understand competent or very edition, how can we be able to transform what will produce with less energy, lake electricity, which we are using at the moment. and beyond that, also trying to sell out some of the key things that we can to, to russia by the current conflict between russia and ukraine. has this, the blow exports channels just like the fact lasers from russia. let's club foot

prices and local markets have skyrocketed. and according to trend, as this is as a result of less production you to just import such as for to license it is hope that more i sent investors with, if you're gonna, after the upcoming russia africa summit in july or i know as tensions between the us and china refused to last in the philippines. foreign secretary has made it clear that manila does not want washington to use bases in the southeast asian nation as a launch pad for military intervention in taiwan. shall we allow the storage material 1st by one operations. we will be guided by the provisions of the, at our own national interest. and i think at this stage our, our, our main foreign policy is really to be friends to all. and therefore, i think anything inconsistent with that would not be also consistent with our position. andre 2014 defense agreement, the philippines on the u. s. per,

per for on coordinates responses to natural and humanitarian disasters. no reports a washington may potentially use the nation's military sites as a staging growing to intervene and time on. the u. s. military is currently holding its biggest ever joint drills in the northern part of the country just off the coast. it comes as china's foreign minister is expected to visit manila on friday, while the military exercises are still under way. political activists were enough to re essays the philippines faces a challenge in navigating relations between the 2 side course. the u. s. i would want to, i make it appear that they are the dominant military power and in the region, and that the discourse hast be effect, offer provoking ah, china. and this would result in greater tensions. this would inevitably

lead to some kind of arms race between the 2 ah big powers. so the visit, ah, the upcoming visit would be, of course, ah, happening in the background, often escalating rivalry between the u. s. and china in this region. when the philippines says it's, it wants to be a friend to or it should mean that the philippines is adopting an independence foreign policy. that is definitely not the case. if you align your, your foreign policy with american imperialist interests. now our french international news agency has corrected itself after previously suggesting that growing rice leads to global warming after night cry. they are that post that a proficient clarifying of instead of burning what's left behind after the harvest asian rice. but you should instead do things such as cultivate mushrooms and create fertilizers to reduce emissions. r t corresponding regions sharma brings us the

following report from a processing facility in india. climate change advocates are now blaming rice paddies for global warming. they say that a ball or rise may be hurting the climate and who was to be blamed. the art, asia and rice leading, asians would accounts the 10 percent of global emissions of methane. it is not belching council landfills. the governmental initiative in reading or challenging a nation. so now the invented arise, which is no or carbon. have you ever heard of arise, which is better for the environment. now you have, for now the world bank is urging weird now to go green. looks like for the west, it's convenient to blame the developing countries rather than bullying themselves. vietnam's agricultural sector is at an infection point. it is supported both growth

and poverty reduction. but there is now an urgent need to transform and adopt sustainable and low carbon practices to maintain growth. let's recall here that an average rate is responsible for producing more carbon dioxide emission than say, somebody in a democratic republic of congo produces in an entire year. our analysis shows that in just a few days, the average person in the u. k. produces more climate emissions than people in many low income countries do in an entire year. it would be a cruel irony if the countries that have least contributed to this problem won't be able to have access to energy infrastructure despite the government shifting priorities in vietnam, director of the charity make gong plus c's. rice farmers have limited options and an uncertain future. it's a shared responsibility. but for the farmers of course,

there are not many alternative options available. it is hard for them to say ok, really grow less intensively will grow less crops. how can they do that? the developing countries couldn't afford to cut emissions while there's no such opportunities there. according to vietnam, nationally did tell them and contribution to the barrel climate agreement. the country intends to use the alternate wetting and drying method of a total of $1700000.00 acres or rice land nationwide. although effective in reducing ne thing, but the system will not work for all formals that already out of the forefront. all several issues like explain why the patterns that have crypt the region. so the big question here is will it be more polls for the environment then corns for we have nom region sharma, r t. returning to breaking news, this our on our to international,

at least 90 people have been killed in yemen after a stampede that occurred during ramadan charity event where we can cross to yemen based journalists, hussein high t to learn more. thank you for your time. can you tell us more about how the tragedy in santa unfolded i will just 1st to do the latest number for there was a 78 dead and 77 would injure the egg, clued in food, didn't get killed condition and they are still out of the hospital and 62 life and get like a bruises and they needed the oxygen and they have left the hospital. what, what happens is actually there is a known businessman in here in san i call the caboose and he's known for his charity and gave him money, especially during the month of ramadan on a week weekly basis. but because as you know, we are now today,

it could be the last day of ramadan and it will start tomorrow. that's why yesterday they didn't expect that the huge number of people coming to the area will they will distribute the money about $5000.00 yemen, which is about $10.00. but the main problem was that there was no, actually a security forces present to organize that cloud because it was not expected. well, the business man has not let this go deposit the. there might be that huge crowd because the cries in yemen. and then when he cries, the war and the blockade, i mean, as united nation said 1000000 of him and he's in urgent need to food. so they have gathered to that and not as 3 important to a gate to school in a school in since. and i, and dominion, but it was the main gate when you opened it that are still a few steps to get to they are over the school that they out of the school is lower

about one meter and higher than their main street. that's why as soon as they opened the main gate, beeble has fall down and then all the crowd, little pushing more or more people.
