[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, 3 guided roggette to work targeting, muddy muddy gut is perhaps the most fortified settlement. but you can have that it's controlled marquee follows an anti tank crew, near the city of money in russia, done yet republic that says, russian forces continue their advance in the region, despite strong fortifications built by kiev, over the last 8 years, they used foreign policy chief called on military ships to sail through the taiwan strait, maintaining

a provocative approach and risking an escalation in the region. as the pentagon looks to strengthen security and its intelligence services following allegedly, it seems the western mass media also has easy access to a probe seek word documents and china is celebrating its 7 space day from launching its 1st satellite 52 years ago to conducting large scale space missions, beijing continues to reach new heights in the space sector. ah, good morning for moscow. this is our to 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 and blacks, the fleet has repelled a ukrainian maritime drone attack on the port of sebastopol.

ah, local authority, say one drone was destroyed by russian forces. while a 2nd one exploded, the attack didn't cause any casualties or damage in the russian lugens republic. a huge fire erupt after a ukrainian drone attack. a local field depot, no one was injured in the it's half with emergency services putting out the police . a suspected ukrainian drone loaded with explosives has crash near the town of no gins in moscow's region. the incident happened close to the russian capital. here the image is showing the drone, it had several western made explosives on board. a local resident reportedly founded in the woods. according to media reports, a drone could have been caught up in tree branches. it's not clear if it flew

directly from ukraine. meanwhile, and russia's done yet to republic, the russian defense ministry says wagner fighters have taken over to city blocks in the embattled city of the almost also known as bach mote. this comes after reports that russian forces have taken a local train station in the western part of the city under their control. western media on the ground have also confirmed that ukrainian forces have had to withdraw from the last central areas of our go. most. the russian defense ministry also stated that a large fuel depot of the ukrainian army was destroyed in the area on monday. our cheese moran, ga. c. f reports from don bass. we approach through ruins and the long trenches. the weather remains miserable. mud and sludge everywhere. we accompany a squad armed with a guided missile system, their destination, the top of

a slag heap, bare target ukrainian positions in mud, inca free guided rockets away targeting that mud income. muddy gut is perhaps the most fortified settlement that ukraine has under its control. for 8 years, they spent shoring it up, digging underneath, setting up foreign positions 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 variants, armor piercing fragmentation, and sometimes with the dreaded thermo barrick warhead global. so michel zulu what we just did was planned and put together over 2 days. our people were constantly on watch and we confirmed a large and me presence about 20 soldiers. the best case scenario for them is that

they get buried on the probably the fight for mighty anchor is the longest. ongoing battle in the ukrainian conflict. new building remains untouched. many no longer exist. it is slow going. speed is not a priority here for my don't get fillum volume in on hold. we're moving forward. it isn't quick, but almost a minimal. our objective is to cause the enemy maximum damage while minimizing our losses. depending on location, tactics and strategies vary wildly. near by and backward. the pace is much quicker. much more savage and apparent radio intercept of ukrainian communications has sparked outrage in russia. good. we're going to work night. i on joy. that the way to 40 did you? well brianna, can you do your gun shy? you?

yeah, i didn't know that not a problem. it is it. okay. if your name on your phone, it can keep growing in the battle already infamous for its viciousness dubbed the meat grinder by key of officials. these foods eel, 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 interceptor called intuition cranium. saw executing all prisoners has great humanitarian significance, humanitarian law against. when you take some one prisoner, you have to take care for them. we want while aid that law, so we won't take any more prisoners, rural, kill all. we meet on the fields 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. wow. in cowboy, a rogue, the relatives of ukrainian soldiers the missing and the injured gathered at the military office 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, many on leasing. and people were ignored. the military officials shut the doors and said nothing in all the front remain static. ukraine continues to prepare for its being offensive, and russia further fortifies it's already formidable defenses. on both sides pension mounts ahead of a battle that made this side loose conflict more at gazda of archie for mud inca

than yet screeching the ears. foreign policy chief has encouraged the sailing of military ships throughout the taiwan strait. a region of contention with beijing r t contributor rachel marson 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 in france's eulogy demolish over the weekend. that on one hand, he went to 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 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 to europe 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 countries to use their military hardware and personnel for virtue thing like that's quite the president. imagine if all countries sent soldiers and heavy weaponry around the world as a symbol of their coat attachment to use browse term. i'll just sending 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,

as he recognized that they risk repeating that here with china. also morale went on is off add to play china for europe's lack of economic competitiveness, saying that beijing subsidizes it's companies like we're supposed to believe that europe doesn't. suddenly he calls china values the opposite of europe's guess. it depends on what european values he's talking about. today does he mean that blanket media censorship, without the process of outlets like r t or does he mean dictating europeans hot shower time in or she's sticking to russian? president vladimir put in or i'll also tells china that quote, isn't in your interest to support russia, saying that doing so only quote increases the polarization of the international system that you otherwise lean to want to fight. that's ironic because french president emanuel michael, literally 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 like burrell here,

who seem to be placing the need to virtue single european unity at all costs above everything else. but in that home does have this longstanding fantasy of building a collective european defense. and any european navy patrols would depend heavily on france, so it remains to be seen if my home is ultimately tempted. seduced by barrels 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 risks getting a huge rock tossed right through it too many people have access to the u. s. government closed the secrets that's according to senate intelligence committee chairman, mark warner. the statement comes as a u. s. national guardsman was charged with leaking classified documents earlier. this month, this is a problem that we shouldn't be totally surprised that we've known for a long time. we way over classified documents, in many cases,

what may be classified within intelligence community, maybe different types of documents than the deal. the 3rd thing is, once we get to that highest level of classification, we maybe have too many folks take a look at him. over 4000000 people with clearances. the new york times was 1st to identify 21 year old jack to sheriff arrested on the 14th of april. to shakira is a member of the intelligence wing of the massachusetts air national bard. and it's tied to an online group where the leak secret documents 1st appeared. during the brief hearing, the u. s. prosecutor said he would see 10 years imprisonment on each of the charges . they share a faces. despite the pentagon, looking to strengthen security in its intelligence services, it saves not only you a service. men may have access it who it froze, of secret documents. math media can apparently get easy access as well, with the washington post,

allegedly getting exclusives on the pentagon leaks and publishing them. r t correspondent, shay bows has more on the story. the recent spate of apparent u. s. intelligence leaks have pre occupied the western media since the washington post 1st broke the story. dozens of highly classified documents have been leaked online, revealing sensitive information intended for senior military and intelligence leaders in an exclusive investigation. the post also read scores of additional secret documents. most of which have not been made public the leaks hand. washington a convenient debt out of jail card. when it comes to ukraine's much hype spring offensive. and key of insistence on trying to hold by would all, no apparently key halves ideas carried out against washington's advice. so basically, a kind of, you know, we told you so that will absolve the u. s. of blame. if you cranes,

much anticipated fight back fails and backward falls. this ties inconveniently with the media hysteria around the leaks which draws attention away from the realities of ukraine's precarious situation on the ground. why are you telling people, what's in this information that you say is, is violated of secrecy? why are you telling me information that supposedly is harmful? i don't have to know of it. why are you telling me? i don't understand that you start to see certain story lives presented in the wash and post in the new york times and their own sake. it reflects, oh, most likely, some sort of intelligence information operation. let's face it. there's plenty to be skeptical about when the same newspaper just so happens to stumble on to highly classified documents that it conveniently languish completely unnoticed on a virtually, on known gaming server. for months, the washington post was able to trace their vide dispersal, back to

a small private group, made up largely of teenagers and led by a man initially identified as oh, gee, through contact with discord users. the washington post has been able to review about 300 pages of classified documents, many previously unreported and strangely. the apparent cobra jack tech zera is now being cast as a fire, right. going on with anti semi tendencies, the same man that was recently passed for one of the higher security clearances in the us. it seems there's more and more questions than answers. the men behind a massive league of us government secrets is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far flung acquaintances, searching for companionship amid there's the lation of the pandemic. the arrest of jack teixeira follows the post account of how detailed intelligent documents about an extraordinary range of subjects found their way unto discord. an online chat

platform popular with gamers before they circulated across the internet. and of course, for the washington post, the big secrets it likes to brag about knowing means big business. another supposed example of being in the right place at the right time. but on like the old days when it was framed for exposing scandals that challenged the u. s government and now seems to be eagerly volunteering itself as an investigator and she for washington, with the cia apparently nowhere to be seen. china is celebrating its 7 space day to day. more than $200.00 science events will be held as part of the series of ceremonies. china has been celebrating cosmo not x day since 2016. on this day, 52 years ago, the 1st chinese artificial earth satellite dong fung hong one was sent into orbit thanks to the lawn. china became the 2nd country in asia to have a space program. the history of man cosmetics and china began in 2003. when ty

cannot yang leeway completed china's 1st flight into orbit on the sions, you 5 spacecraft. since then, china has conducted 10 missions with 16 representatives of the countries face program blasting into the atmosphere. you can see footage of mars with china releasing its 1st map of the entire surface of the red planet. the data was collected by the time when one spacecraft in the pictures. you can see small craters, bridges, dunes and other images on one of earth's closest neighbors. in 2021. china landed a spacecraft on mars for the 1st time in history. c g t n correspondent, woo lee visited an exhibition dedicated to space day and gave us the details. as you can see behind me, these are the motto i'm trying to long, much carry a rocky have you can see from the very last the trying to the law much why the

currently most the possible kevin iraqis. and here is a law much 3 b, and this one is a lot of stuff and carry a rocket is mentally use the poor launch the central cargo ship. and this is the vision is only part of me. here is activity for the space, say a china, actually this morning at the opening ceremony. we also met some colleagues from our last customers and a lot of international organizations panda. space agencies have also come here to celebrate the se, se, i'll try not really a chinese colleague, 5 minutes me either sounds good young from the national space, but it was written, has that are trying to have a sense from lunar sam posed to rational as well. as wrongs, if you're for the benefit of human kind. so yes, there are a lot of activities including high level discussion and also forums will be filled

with hungry problems. we promise to celebrate the space, day of china, and to promote the peaceful use of our space with mankind. a number of national slogger scholars and offer actors. let's talk about your face grew up with their counterpart on the 9th session of the bricks, conference of deputy ministers, and special envoy has kicked off in south africa. the session will be held over 3 days in cape town and will focus on peace processes in the middle east and developments in north africa and the golf. the meeting will lead up to the breaks annual heads of state summit set to take place in south africa in august of this year for more or less cross over live to our to corresponding car rabo. this hot la, good morning,

carrasco. tell us the latest developments at the bricks ministerial meeting. are you coming to us strides from cape town where we are live ever briggs, deputy foreign minister, so special envoys on the middle east and north africa. i just spoke to who would be the host of this particular league of this meeting professor. so glove who is south africa in bossa at large for asia as well as briggs. and he's also the head of the south african delegation. this meeting is running a bit late because i had an emergency meeting. i understand at the proceed being shell, the presidential house here in cape town, where he was being breathed about last minute details with regards to what is expected, at least from the south african side. as you remember, south africa is the current chair of the bricks, and this is a particular interest of, of south africa to also see about bringing peace in the wide middle east. and

they're saying that the. ready trying to insert the idea of a multi polar world that there's multiple areas he will be the answer and not just the global north and, and the west in particular leading in terms of what we're seeing in the middle east . and they're particularly praising the role. there's been played by china with regards to facilitating a mediated way between saudi arabia as well as iraq, which they say that you wouldn't even have thought about it a couple years ago, considering the level of facility between the 2. but now those 2 countries, saudi arabia and iraq, and i both interested in becoming briggs, members, but so are 13 other countries which have made such an application to join the sad club. but south africa is really trying to standardize bricks in a sense because this year they are hoping to use the chair ship to drive the idea. busy that they need terms of reference as to who qualifies to become a member,

and those haven't been set yet. this yolanda south africa was the last of these members to be taken into the group back in 2011. and they were, they were taken into that exclusive group of economies of leading economy in the world. and the invitation of china and china really brought south africa in without much of, of any set of rules being, being agreed upon by all the other member states. and even though this was uniform in terms of accepting south africa as a major leading economy on the continent, the believe that going forward, this needs to be strengthened in south africa, has gone on to say from conversations that have had, even yesterday of the record. that they would like to see it happen even if it does not happen this year. but the terms of reference that lead us to a set criteria to who becomes a member of the bricks, should definitely be something that is achievable, at least in the next 2 years. now,

south africa will be hosting the briggs heads of state summit later on this year, and much has been in the making as they prepare to welcome the briggs countries as well. but so far, what we have here that we have, the russian delegation at the chinese delegation and the south african delegation also being represented. we understand that brazil will be joining virtually and they will be attending from tomorrow. now is important to remember that even though this is a deputy ministers deputy foreign minister meeting in south africa, these foreign deputy foreign ministers are not particularly here right now. what we have is their share posts, or she and senior officials of both countries. and these range from civilians to academics and the lead the thought process if you will, they do the heavy lifting before the ministers come to get a breakdown of accused was agreeable between the countries and a way of moving forward. so right now,

we're really expecting much in the machinations and the details to be talked about to be the sharpest of or fife, ne says, and this, even though it's a conference, it is very infinite, as it will be. maximum of 14 people who are revere military operations, how the u. s. allegedly culture in your, in out of them in the americans came to iraq 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 whiteness say let start life anew, away that we've not seen any freedom of democracy. we've only seen a discriminant killings. they broke into our homes, disown it all wise, assist is kill people in public right in the streets. we saw arrays of villages on the suburbs of baghdad. therefore we rebelled against the invaders. what elsewhere we to do

with men to have the police? there was no investigation massage. they just marked me at that time. they were releasing the police dogs on us, put the dog's face to my nose. they predatory animals, no one knows what they can do. they ordered me to speak to these dogs. i also wash them, i tell them, they answered say well, you won't come when i was talking to the dogs, they were taking notes. then they led me into another room and poured cold water out of 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. they wanted me to spread my alms in the shape of a cross. remember,

some western and arab channel showed a photo of a man who stood these arms outstretched depicting across. he wanted to do the same with me. ah. ah, what dawn it. she knew helicopters came. it took us to camp booker. that's right. all started about back. i'll back, danny was there as well as al qaeda at noon and then after i was transferred from abu gharib been camp luca, i no longer explained in anything good. they thought i was very surprised when they told me i was free. they forced us decide documents that clearly state that we

should not file any complaint to disclose any information about what happened did the prison. one of the chief sat looked at us and say, we very sorry. i answered. okay, we will consider the apology as accepted. but you broke into my house and he took my belongings, jewelry, money to which he said to me, god, help you. can you imagine this thing eats old meat? ah, that's our up on the our and coming up and investigative journalists, chris hedges, highlights the us extradition, pace of australian journalist and weekly found, or julian assange. next san modus operandi, thanks for turning in love with

. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,
