ah ah ah, 3 guided rockets away targeting mud income, muddy good, perhaps the most fortified settlement that ukraine has under its control. he follows that anti tank crew near the city of mountain co and the done yet republic. now says russian forces make advances in the region despite strong defense is built by key f over the last 8 years. use foreign policy chief calls on military ships to sale through the taiwan straits, the provocative approach that risk further escalating tensions in the region. john is celebrating its 7th a space day from launched his 1st satellites 52 years ago to conducting

a large scale of space missions. beijing continues to reach new heights in this space sector. and we continue our special coverage of the us invasion of iraq, the victim of torture, the infamous abu ghraib prison, and bringing us his harrowing story. my. they 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. they were like snakes in another roop with coming to you live from my head quarters here in moscow. you're watching ot international. i'm just got here with the top stories this hour. thanks for joining us. i was start off with crimea. well, early on monday morning, the russian black sea fleets repelled ukrainian maritime drone attack on the ports of sebastopol. the

me, the russian defense ministry says 3 drones were destroyed, the attack called no casualties or damage and the guns for public. a huge fire roasted up through ukraine, interested, unimagined, the services have puts out the place the suspected ukrainian drone loaded with explosives have crushed near the town of no gains in the moscow region. i hear some images of the drone with what appears to be several weston made explosives on board . a local residents report to the found it's in the woods and according to media reports, the drone may have struck a tree and come down. and while over in the den, yes, the republic, the russian defense ministry says wagner 5 says, have taken over 2 blocks in the embattled city of are almost also known as backwards. now this comes off to reports. the russian forces to take control of a train station in the western part of the city. the russian defense ministry said a large field f o of the army was destroyed in the area on monday. moscow also says

that the recent ballistic missile attack killed up to 60 ga mercenaries and destroyed over a dozen military vehicles in the ukrainian held san of constantino. according to the russian officials, some of the mysteries were accused of torturing russian p. o w. 's office broadcast the apartment on bus. we approach through ruins and a long trenches. the weather remains miserable. mud and sludge are everywhere. we accompany a squad armed with a guided missiles 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.

thing 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, google. so michelle 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. so am bullen in on hold. we're moving forward. it isn't quick, but i'll losses a minimal. our objective is to cause the enemy maximum damage while minimizing our

losses. depending on location, tactics and strategies vary wildly. nearby and backward. the pace is much quicker. much more savage and apparent radio intercept of ukrainian communications has spa outrage in russia. they're gonna wiggling it. i was married. i wonder, boy. oh boy, inter 40 read you. oh brianna, can you do your gun shy? gill? yeah, i didn't know that. not only does it take a look in the morning on his game, keith, where we are in a 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 intercept, according to which ukrainian saw executing all prisoners has great humanitarian significance. humanitarian law begins when you take some one prisoner, you have to take care for them. we want while a that law so we won't take any more prisoners, rural, kill all who we meet on the fields of battle. we won't take any one prisoner. this will come as unwelcome news to ukrainian families already on the edge from the horrendous casualty rates among ukrainian troops. they've dead challenge the military leadership. oh wow. in cowboy, a rogue, the relatives of ukrainian soldiers, the missing and the injured gathered, had 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, 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 it. spring offensive, and russia further fortifies it's already formidable defenses on both sides pension mount. so head of a battle that may decide this conflict. morehead gazda of arti from mud inca, than yet screeching enough or no story were across today. the use of foreign policy chief has encouraged the sailing of military ships through the taiwan straits, a region of contention with beijing. archie contributes. rachel marson has one 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, you'll know, judy mosh 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 straight off china's coast? if there's no actual threat to europe from china? while he says that it would be to, quote, signify europe's attachment to the freedom of navigation in this crucial. um, so basically he wants european country sees 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 will just send you 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, or al doesn't seem to recognize that they risk repeating that here with china. also, burrell went on, is all bad to blame 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 because 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 any dictating europeans hot shower time in,

or she stick it to russian president vladimir putin? 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 argued that europe i blindly following washington during the polar agenda for its western allies on matters light. taiwan . when does itself exactly the same kind of disservice to the detriment of its own strategic autonomy? is it in our interest to accelerate a crisis from taiwan? no, the worst thing would be to thing that we, europeans, must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the u. s. agenda and a chinese over reaction. so browser mark had 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 like burrell here, who seem to be placing the need to virtue, signal, european unity at all costs above everything else. but that whole 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 mac 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 risk getting a huge rock tossed right through it. o. c child university chair, professor bates, a gal says it's such a dangerous step by european countries. could hon piece prospects in the region? i went straight as of now and for many decades in the past has been a peaceful street. it is a very important street for international oak. somers and china has more vested

interest in protecting and maintaining the peace and stability of the taiwan strait probably than any other country. for european conjures to patrol the taiwan strait . first of all, it doesn't make any sense. it doesn't serve any constructive purpose and it will be destructive of the prevailing peace and stability in the town street itself. so i hope those countries will talk about military patrol of the taiwan strait will have 2nd thoughts. they are not thinking carefully about the consequences of that and they may not know what they will eventually get if they take such dangerous steps involving the, the taiwan strait itself. group of in other news, china's celebrating its 7th space day to day more than $200.00 science events will be held as part of the series of ceremonies. and china has been celebrated cosmetics day since 2016. on this day, 52 years ago. the 1st chinese artificial earth satellite to dawn fun hong one was

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 sell law much by the currently most the possible camera. 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 day of china. actually this morning after the opening ceremony, we also met some colleagues from our last cosmos and a lot of international organizations panda. space agencies have also come here to celebrate the face of china with the chinese colleagues submitted, either counsel at young from the national space. but in this region, has that are trying to have a sense from lunar sam posed to russia as well as from this year for

the benefit of human kind. so there are a lot of activities, including high level discussions and also forums with the field in town where you probably, we promise to celebrate the space, day of china and to, to promote the people, use honor space with mankind. a number of national slogger scholars and also actually we're talking about your space cru. i'm we, there comes upon the 9th session of the bricks, conference of deputy ministers on special invoice has kicked off in south africa. now the session will be held over 3 days in cape town and will focus on peace processes in the middle east, on developments in north africa and the gulf. the meeting will lead up to the breaks annual heads of state summits set to take place in south africa in august later this year of these cabinets at last. as more details. well this particular

breaks meeting of deputy foreign minister, special envoys into the middle east and north. busy africa is of paramount importance here, especially with regards to the host in this case of south africa as the chair of briggs for the year, south africa saying that they very much want polarity of voices in florida to your views in order to bring back the stability and bring about peace in the middle east . not, of course, ignoring how important this area is, as well as north africa with regard to global economics. most of those economies are really what drives the economies of the world. major. busy oil producers and the lakes and they continue to occupy a very important part in. busy that you cannot mix, but also in the phase of where the future waited. and currently where the bit of

conflict has been. the feeling here, amongst brick members, is that it cannot be a single, a voice that is leading within the middle east and north africa. and primarily being that of the united states, which to this day remains a conflict and partner and has been accused by more than one country as a meddling nation with in the middle east. south africa is also trying to not only us or in the, the importance of the middle east, but they're looking forward looking at this as one of the events that will be taking place, leading up to south africa hosting the heads of state of the brick club later this year in august, and this will be happening in johannesburg in august. now what we understand is that we have a situation way, way and not only south africa is looking at hosting there,

but they're looking at inviting the bigger african countries south africa did the very same when it held the chair ship 5 years ago, we saw a wider african family representation, and that is very much expected to happen again this year. earlier r t a spoke to the head of the south african bridge delegation. he said that the group stands for peace and wants to actually participates in addressing global security issues. this is our night meeting, and the middle east has always been one of the global hotspots that merged in conflict. and as bricks we fall, that is important that we add our voice and caucus on the middle east, north africa region, to see how we can bring about peace and reproach mar between the conflicting parties. bricks, very much would like to see a multi polar world as against a unique color, bipolar world. we would like to also be an active participant in addressing the

global security challenges, including in the middle east and other areas. because brick stand for peace, brick stand for burning, a global community that is inclusive, that is shirt, and where no one is marginalized and like we have presently, the global south is on the periphery of fuel financial architecture. so this is the focus for bricks to bring about peace to bring about corporation to bring about an inclusive gilbert. and over to su, done now where the evacuation of foreign nationals is underway as ongoing military clusters in the country and to their 10th consecutive day of the u. s. u. k. france and germany as well as egypt and china, are working on evacuation that people are citizens are also awaiting extraction from moscow's embassy in cartoon. hundreds of evacuees in 4 planes landed the similitude, airports in jordan's arman early on monday. the old men that had that on to day,

the last window offered support for us as military. you are still looking to list on the ongoing is science comments on how to model for in other words, sharon sedan nice was finally able to get some sleep. but also there was some flushes for the last on trying to divide locations, especially especially around the areas near to the army. and he's not our son just bought that this morning that the more people were killed yesterday. so dismissed, the thought of someone that's all about 273 people who are was into more than 1500 are on the model for another one. besides, the army did not mention anything about offering the fire or the other person

didn't know anything about already. also learned that there was some, i don't think there will be a fit for 7 days, but the not for the people because the previous, the fire on the previous to this or not, we're not implemented truly. i cannot find that they have broken the law, the fire fire, fire, fire, fire, and also our fire on and there was a our fire. all of these sources are broken because the side on friday, both the army and the power ministry. r s f announced they would observe a 3 day ceasefire, the violence continued of the international community as being calling for a more secure truce. meanwhile, one of the commanders is reported to join the sudanese army, encouraging his former comrades to do the same ah, in the name of god,

a, a window where a ah, the rocky minutes in group a shop. i'll coff has cold on the countries. prime minister warning of the beefed up u. s. military presence in the country. now the group was form 16 years ago after the

u. s. invasion of iraq, which left a trail of destruction with a 1000000 civilians dead according to some estimates. and countless more displaced where they are nazi. we're continuing our special coverage of the conflicts as well as 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 gray. with food and medicine. and sleep. with

as the aftermath of the us invasion still holds a grip over his victims arts. he spoke with a man who was a subject to harrowing thoughts and humiliation of the infamous abu ghraib, booking about security, democracy peace and freedom. can we said okay, after all under saddam's rule, we really did not have freedom shown him. so he said, let's wait and see, let's start life. and you however, we've not seen any freedom of democracy. we've only seen indiscriminate killings. they broke into our homes, dis on it all wise assist is killed people in public right in the streets. we saw air raids of villages on the suburbs of baghdad. therefore we rebelled against the invaders. what else while we did do? ah, manhattan nuclei. there was no investigation to such,

they just mocked me at that time. they were releasing the place dogs on us, but the dogs faced by nose, they predatory animals, no one knows what they can do. they ordered me to speak to these dogs. i also washed my tell them, they answered say what you want met um, while i was talking to the dogs, they were taking notes. then they 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 and broke my ribs. they were like snakes in another room. you will say wanted me to spread my alms in the shape of a cross. you remember, some western arab channel showed a photo of a man who stood with his arms outstretched depicting across. they wanted to do the same with me. what do you know? ah ah, tell you if we are, they waged a psychological war against us. sometimes they would set a tent on fight. oh,

let place dogs loose on us. i remember one time when they set 10 dogs on us while we were praying. why did they do that? they would unleash a blood bath and then climb watchtower to watch and laugh. we knew that something bad was going to happen when we saw one of the seniors go up, the watch tower. when we was surrounded by prison officers, we already knew we were in for another performance and we had to resign. otherwise, they would have killed all mutilated us. they need to be executed. of course i agree that it is that fault. what do you want to hear from me? you want me to go down memory lane again. i can't recount everything they've done. but what will it change? you think they will feel remorse? no. will they be prosecuted? no. those who are behind all this must be prosecuted because they responsible for the destruction of a rock. the

us invasion of iraq wiped out the legal protections of dissident voices, resulting in the imprisonments of julian assange without at least is according to the investigative journalist on pulitzer prize winner chris hedges. he spoke with the modus operandi, host mila chung. you can see the full interview here. nazi of a now has a quick preview. this is a whole kind of quote unquote war on terror. eviscerated what little legal protections, dissidence once once had. and of course, we are now seen this very ominous move against the press itself with the extradition request for julian, we should also be clear that in the case of julian, as i mentioned before, is not a us citizen. and he did not commit a crime. ok, so are the hypocrisy is not limited to this case. there are numerous cases that

kind of double standard and also are any kind of collaboration with states or entities that have been demonized. or we'll see you whacked by the kinds of a grotesque terrorism laws and extradition request.
