called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think . a guided rocket to work targeting why didn't go muddy good is perhaps the most poor to flood settlement. but you can have a control r t follows an anti tank crew near the city of money got in brush has done yet for a public that has russian forces continue their advance in the region this by strong fortifications built by here over the last 8 years the use foreign policy chief calls on military ships the sale through the taiwan strait, maintaining a provocative approach and risking an escalation in the region. we continue our special coverage of the us invasion of iraq with the victim of torture at the

infamous zachary prison, bringing his harrowing story, led me into another room and poured cold water over me. i didn't know where i was at that moment. then in another room, they beat me, the sticks broke my ribs. there were life snakes in another room. and china is celebrating its 7 space day from launching its 1st satellite 52 years ago to conducting large scale space missions. aging continues to reach new hype in this space factor. ah, good morning for moscow. this is our international with the latest world news updates. i'm fiorella is about. it's great to have you with us. we start with the latest from crimea where the russian black c fleet has repelled a ukrainian maritime drone attack on the port of step estoppel.

the me, the local authorities say one drone was destroyed by russian forces. while a 2nd one exploded, the attack didn't cause any casualties or damage. a suspected ukrainian drone loaded with explosives has crashed near the town of the game in the moscow region. the incident happened close to the russian capital. here are the images showing the drone. it had several western made explosives on board. a local resident reportedly founded in the woods. according to media reports, the drone could have been caught in a, in tree branches. it's not clear if it flew directly from ukraine. meanwhile, in russia's don, yes, republic, the russian defense ministry says wagner fighters have taken over to city blocks in

the embattled city of our deal, most also known as bach moods. this comes after reports that russian forces have taken a local trade station in the western part of the city under their ground have also confirmed that ukrainian forces have had to withdraw from the last central areas of the almost the russian radian army was destroyed in the area on monday, we approach through ruins and the long trend armed with the guided missiles system, their destination, their target, ukrainian positions in mud, inca guided rockets away targeting might, might, income might at last month that ukraine has under its controlling underneath setting up florida position to make sure that it holds on as long as possible. only about 25 percent of monica remained suddenly ukrainian control coronet missiles,

common multiple variance armor piercing fragmentation, and sometimes with the dreaded thermo barrick warhead bushel. michel zulu what we just did was bland and put together over 2 days. our people were constantly on watch and we confirmed a large and we presence about 20 soldiers. the best case scenario for them is that they get buried on that probably the fight for mighty anchor is the longest, ongoing battle in the ukrainian conflict. it building remains untouched. many no longer exist. it is slow going. speed is not a priority here for might ok. so m william in you on hold, we're moving forward. it isn't quake, but almost a minimal. our objective is to cause the enemy maximum damage while minimizing all losses. depending on location, tactics and strategies vary wildly. nearby and backward. the pace is much

quicker, much more savage. and the parent radio intercept of ukrainian communications has sparked outrage in russia. they're gonna wiggling it. oh no. i wonder boy. oh boy, differently did you want the brand new bill? your gun shy? gill? yeah, i think it was already taken out. not only does it take a look good morning. hunter's game here, where we are in the battle already infamous for its viciousness dubbed the meat grinder by kiev officials. these foods ill. recently, the wagner, private military company and ukrainian forces had conducted a prisoner exchange. it now seems unlikely that there'll be another one about this radio intercept, according to which ukrainian saw executing our prisoners has great humanitarian significance. humanitarian law begins. when you take someone prisoner,

you have to take care for them. we want while a that law, so we won't take any more prisoners. moodle kill all we meet on the field of battle . we won't take any one prisoner. this will come as unwelcome news to ukrainian families ready on the edge from the horrendous casualty rates among ukrainian troops. they've dead challenge the military leadership. ah, wow. in cowboy, a rogue, the relatives of ukrainian soldiers, the missing and the injured gathered, had a military officer to protest. they accused the army leadership of sending their under trade, fathers, husbands and sons, to their deaths under equipped and lacking even food, any on leasing. and people were ignored. the military officials shut the doors and

said nothing in all the front remained static. ukraine continues to prepare for its spring offensive, and russia further fortifies it's already formidable defenses. on both sides pension mounts ahead of a battle that may decide this conflict. morehead gazda of arti, from mud anchor, than yet screeching the is foreign policy chief, has encouraged the sailing of military ships throughout the taiwan strait. a region of contamination with beijing. r. t contributor rachel marsden has the story. in our view, there is only one china, but not under any conditions, and certainly not through the use of force. in reality, europe must be very present on this issue which concerns us economically commercially and technologically. this is why i call on european navies to patrol

the taiwan strait to signify europe's commitment to freedom of navigation in this absolutely crucial area. so each chief diplomat, yoseph burrell wrote in his office and frances, you'll know g demolish over the weekend. that on one hand, he wants european countries to send the warships into china's backyard. but on the other, he says that quote, china doesn't directly threaten our security. he also reiterated europe's when china position, which is aligned with china. so then why does he want european worship on the other side of the globe in the taiwan strait? are china's coast, if there's no actual threat here from china? while he says that would be to quote, signify europe attachment to the freedom of navigation in this crucial zone. so basically, he wants european country sees their military hardware and personnel for virtue singly. that's quite a precedent. imagine if all countries sent soldiers and heavy weaponry around the world as a symbol of their coat attachment to use browse term. i will just selling some

chocolates or maybe some long stand red roses like normal people would do. it would be a lot cheaper and wouldn't risk inadvertently provoking yet another armed conflict somewhere in the world. remember that the one a ukraine popped off after western countries had loaded up its border with russia with weapons. and then they were absolutely stunned when russia actually acted on it around that has seen to recognize that they risk repeating that here with china also. oh wait on is off adibly, china for your lack of economic competitiveness, saying that asian subsidizes that companies like we're supposed to believe that you're suddenly because china is values the opposite of europe's guess. it depends on what your opinion values he's talking about today. does he mean the blanket media censorship without the process of outlets like r t or does he need dictating europeans hot shower time in or she's stick it to? russian president vladimir putin wrote also tells china that it isn't in your

interest to support russia saying that doing so only quote increases the polarization of the international system that you otherwise claim to want to fight . that's ironic because french president emanuel michael literally just argued that europe by blindly following washington during the polar agenda for its western allies on matters lifetime. one does itself exactly the same kind of disservice to the detriment of its own strategic autonomy. is it in our interest? exhilarated cries of some taiwan. no, the worst thing would be to thing that we are a p and must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the u. s. agenda and chinese overreaction. so browse remarks have now clearly set up a clash between european leaders like michael, who are saying that european countries shouldn't just jump on the taiwan bandwagon because america says so, particularly when it's against their own economic interests. and on the other hand, bureaucrats laid burrell here, who seemed to be placing the need to virtue, signal, european unity at all costs above everything else. but not cold does have this long

standing fantasy of building a collective european defense. and any european navy patrol would depend heavily on france, so it remains to be seen as mac home was ultimately tempted. seduced by arouse offer to use the china taiwan issue as a showcase for those european defense fantasies which could end up being a big display window. that risk getting a huge rock tossed right through it. meanwhile, paris has criticized comments by china's ambassador to france, who said post soviet countries like ukraine, have no sovereign status under international law. while crimea has historically been russian. crummy was the very beginning for russia. the congress, before we use a saw to not have effect of status in international law because there is no international agreement in concord desert status as a sovereign country. the chinese diplomat statements sparked sharp condemnation from the baltic states and ukraine. taking into account the unacceptable statements

of china's ambassador to france about international law and national sovereignty. the ministry of foreign affairs of latvia has summoned the authorized charged affairs of the chinese embassy in riga to provide an explanation on monday. it is said that a representative of the people's republic of china hold such views. such a position is incomprehensible. either there are obvious problems with geography or such statements or at odds with the position of the capital of china, beijing regarding efforts to restore peace in ukraine on the basis of international law and the purposes and principles of the un charter. so shall university care. professor victor bow says the chinese ambassador's view should be considered in the grand scheme of international law rather than as an isolated statements if any while wants to destroy the international order. based by, based on the carol declaration impossible decoration established in 1945,

regarding the return of taiwan to china, then it will complete a change the international order in asia that might also change the international order as established in 1945. after the defeat of nazi germany, including for example, the status evolving the sovereignty of the 3 baltic states, et cetera, et cetera. so i think you need to read to ambassador shaw's comments in its totality rather than in isolation. iraqi militant group, ush, bob out coff has called on the countries prime minister warning of the beefed up u. s. military presence in the country. the group was formed 16 years after the u. s. invasion of iraq, which left a trail of destruction of 2 a 1000000 civilians said, according to some estimates and countless more displaced here in r t. we are continuing our special coverage of the conflict and its global

repercussions. at this hour. american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great. hm. room to food and sleep with as the aftermath of the u. s. invasion still holds a grip over its victims. are g spoke with a man who was

a subject to unimaginable torture and humiliation at the famous abu ghraib prison. he told us that as washington continues to paddle the narrative, that it is responsible for the defeat of isis. he saw with his own eyes how the u. s. allegedly cultivated for more isis leader. i will balk our bug daddy in prison. ah, with you're not of them in the americans came to a rock talking about security, democracy, peace and freedom. we said okay, after all, under saddam's rule, we really did not have freedom. so he said less weight and say, let's start life anew. however, we've not seen any freedom of democracy. we've only seen a discriminant killings. they broke into our homes, dis on it all wise assist is killed people in public right in the streets. we saw

arrays of villages on the suburbs of baghdad. therefore we rebelled against the invaders. what else were we to do with. ringback medically i there was no investigation massage, they just smoked me at that time. they were releasing the place dogs on us, but the dog's face to my nose. they predatory animals, no one knows what they can do. they wanted me to speak to these dogs. i also wash them, i tell them they answered say what you want. and when i was talking to the dogs,

they were taking notes. then they led me into another room and pulled cold water over me. i didn't know where i was at that moment. then in another room, they beat me the sticks and broke my ribs. they were like snakes in another room. it was, i wanted me to spread my alms in the shape of the cross. remember some western and our channel showed a photo of a man who stood with his arms outstretched depicting a cross. they wanted to do the same with me. ah ah. fad what dawn it. she knew calico just came. it took us to camp boca, that's right. all started about back, i'll back, danny was there as well as al qaeda at noon

. i got to select from them after i was transferred from abu gharib been camp luca . i no longer expected anything good. they thought i was very surprised when they told me i was free. they forced us decide documents. they clearly state that we should not file any complaint to disclose any information about what i looked at us and say, we very soon was the rise of isis. our correspondence traveled to missouri where the hottest group declared its caliphate and brought us this report. it was in this mosques that the leader of islamic state are back at all by daddy declared its kind of fate in 2014. the local emma was driven out as a g. how to impose it? strict interpretation of cherry, a law on the city of more than 4000000 people. it was in the afternoon just a quiet been in the street now. so cause no internet, no editing, no

a single car and the street so suddenly is like a curfew. and there's a guys with black outfit and their guns in the street. so we didn't know what's, what's going on the 1st place. but after 10 minutes there is a guy and turn with his car in the mosque from that door, the back door of the mosque. so we didn't know who is. so we go in the mosque and we look at him. it's just a guy with the black and white beard and he declaimed, he is arbitrary bag daddy. he was the leader of isis, mosul, was the scene of fierce fighting in the battle to drive out the jihadists and regained control of the city. snipers were positioned on the building surrounding the mosque. the scene of devastation was beyond all comprehension, with whole districts reduced to rubble with

with islamic state destroyed much of the city, including most was main library and its museum. this church behind me was used as a prison and torture center where many were killed for defying the islamists. everything has change. they force people to grow beer. they force people to go to prey. they start killing, cutting had cut in hands. or who ever anyone steals? they cut his hand and one every or any one swears they cut his head. or anyone

don't go to prey, they with him maybe 2030 whips? these 2 young girls are a symbol of the liberation of mosul. wearing lips, it would have seen them and their parents punished and the girls would most likely be taken to a camp or married off to an ices fighter. mohammed explained what life was like in the city under g had his rule, and how freedom has returned to mosul. the life moselle after eyes is just great, dislike, like been dark from nightmare. the rise of ice is perhaps one of the motion during legacies of the us led invasion of iraq. while it's color fight was declared defeated in 2017. the islamist group has not gone away. to popular mobilization forces, an umbrella organization consisting of more than 60 on fractions are leading the fight to finish off ice is once and for all. in march to u. s. chin of helicopters were filmed, landing in the amber desert, close to the p. m. f base,
