let the viewers decide. one thing is certain, the alliance has put its very existence on the line. you can take that to the bank . with any dramatic escalation of the conflict in ukraine, london sent depleted uranium rounds to kiev. munition is infamous for a devastating effect on the civilian population held for years. russia convenes a un security council meeting to discuss pensions in the middle east, highlighting that has global attention shift to other conflict. longstanding disputes in the region remain far from being resolved the longest occupation of an entire 33 in modern history. why is it still ongoing? the palestinians refuse to accept the very existence of israel. shame, shame, shame, the u. k. censors information about the killers of prose,

the malia activists in the unrecognized state of somali land leading to questions about the possible involvement of the police forces it funded with pesticides, which posed how forests are being used on farm to flying. major companies like nestle, this might be bad in the you with coming to you from us. so this is our key international with the latest world news updates. i'm fear ella is about it's great to have you with us. united kingdom has confirmed the sending of depleted uranium ammunition to crane a substance known for being highly toxic to human beings. london has waved aside the control of the uranium use saying it now lies in the hands of care or war correspondent, more gosti of brings details from the ground. now in its 60th week,

the conflict in ukraine is largely confined to position of warfare. artillery remains the dominant form of combat. this is the relative calm before the storm, according to key of officials in their western sponsors. the ukrainian military is waiting for the soil to dry enough to launch its spring offensive. meanwhile, nate who supplied tanks make their way closer to the front lines. in one video film that an unknown location, a ukrainian tank crew member appears to throw a nazi salute while riding a top, a german leopard to tank. a dramatic escalation. britain has also sent a controversial depleted uranium tank shells to ukraine. we have sand thousands of rounds of challenger to ammunition to ukraine, include in depleted uranium armor piercing rounds for operational security reasons

. we will not comment on ukrainian user traits for the rounds provided. depleted uranium rounds are believed to have led to soaring cancer rates, miscarriages, and infant deformities in places where they've been used. former yugoslavia and the rock for example, the radioactive corps of these rounds explodes into tiny fragments and can measurably contaminate the environment for decades. written feels that this is not its problem. there is no obligation on the u. k. to help clear of depleted uranium rounds fired from challenger to tanks by the armed forces of ukraine, russian president vladimir putin had previously warned of consequences if britain supplies such shelves. those warnings were ignored. for now, russian forces have concentrated on locating and destroying west and weapons supplied to ukraine. almost daily, new videos appear showing, and drew strikes,

can style, tillery and vehicles supplied by nathan states. ah, on the diplomatic front, there appears to be no cause for optimism. speaking of the un, the russian foreign minister sag a lever of highlighted what some believe to be an absurd situation. just for you settles mission. there is currently a ridiculous theory. let us the west. they care of ukraine successful counter offensive, and then asked presidents lensky to start negotiations. but this is a kind of gets a frantic logic. we want no threats to our security to come from the territory of ukraine's, and these threats have been accumulating there for many, many years, especially after the crew in february 2014. as for the counter offensive, doubts are creeping in among western journalists and politicians. russia has fortified immensely and amassed huge reserves. if you cranes counter offensive

fails to achieve significant results, they say future western support may be in doubt for ad gas the of ot, from the ganske region. in the latest un security council meeting, chaired by the russian foreign minister medalist conflict resolution was on the agenda that russia's top diplomat pointed out. the west attempts to divert attention away from the reasons problems by using the ukranian conflicts. american civil at these americans and europeans are using the ukraine topic to blackmail and threaten countries over to their site. and distract attention from the main, the list, and regence of the global south. they say we will defeat russia and then everything will resolve itself. they are obsessed with their selfish interests in order to dictate demands to the whole world. disregarding international law? well with russia as the president of the un security council,

the 15 member body that leads the un, we got to hear from russia's foreign minister. sergei laugh. rob. now he convened the meeting on the issue of the palestinian question and conflicts in the middle east. and during that meeting we heard from various countries represented on the security council as well as the ambassadors or representatives of preceding eye and representing israel and palestine. now that representative pal of palestine bemoaned the situation facing the palestinian people. we also heard words from the israeli representative as well. ah, here are what we heard during the meeting. this is the most protracted refugee crises in the world. the most protracted denial of national collective and individual rights in the world, the most protracted protection crises in the world, the longest occupation of an entire territory in modern history. so the question

big's itself, why is it still ongoing? is it because there is a lack of rules or lack of resolve? the only reason this conflict has not yet been resolved is because the palestinians refuse to accept the very existence of israel, the jewish state, the jewish state. they have proven this by rejecting every peace initiative and by inciting to terrorism, brainwashing their children to hate and murder jews. shame, shame, shame. now after speaking the israeli representative laughed the un security council chamber. now, later when russian foreign minister sergei lab rob was speaking to the press in the press briefing room, he clarified that he took issue with the way the israeli representative characterized today's proceedings as somehow being anti israeli. he emphasized that

the point is to make sure that the humanitarian situation is dealt with, then pay the pathway toward palestinian statehood. now the russian foreign minister took west gems from the press, answering on a number of different topics. i touched on the black sea grain deal. i touched on us efforts to demonize russia and isolate rush on the global markets. he raised a particular concern about the european union and the direction that the e u. countries are moving in lou visit. we see how the e u is miller, to rising at a record base, turning into an aggressive structure we with the stated goal of containing russia. now that you is not much different from natal, there is no doubt about it. they even signed a declaration where they said that nature will ensure the security of the e u, and that the e u. thank them. in return. in today's proceedings, the russian foreign minister emphasized what he's emphasized previously during this visit to the united nation, which is that russia seeks

a world with international prosperity and development, and that the efforts by the united allegedly involved in the killings. ortiz africa correspondence no local yukon gave brings more details. the u. k is censoring vital information on who really shot to protest. as the somali land, the somalian break we region in clashes between pro somalia protesters and security forces. this comes off to a year long funding office security forces, known for numerous killings of civilians, but somehow decided to hold them for reasons the a not disclosing the disclosure of information. detailing our relationship with somali land could potentially damage the relationships between the u. k. and somali land, if the united kingdom does not maintain this trust and confidence, its ability to protect and promote u. k. interested through international relations will be hampered, which will not be in the public interest. the censorship decision was made in response to a freedom information requested by declassified u. k. concerning

a demonstration in the but to the contest, the city of last a not over the new get around 20 pro somalia activists were killed to dozens more were injured. and many people are currently asking, what is the u. k. government hiding at the moment? because the u. k. is decision to hold information about the violence against civilian protest as a so my lad, especially our national security grounds, is quite concerning and wiring this lack of transparency raises the suspicions about the u. k. 's involvement in the last summer genocide. now this ridiculous response also highlights the a bankruptcy of the u. k. policy on some ivy. i think what's also worth noting is that the funding of training and equipment for somebody land from the u. k stopped in 2020 amnesty international say to more than 600 people have been injured in the

recent fighting. and so my land security forces are currently to blame somali land security forces indiscriminately shall the town damaging hospitals, schools and mosques killing. and during civilians and displacing tens of thousands of people among the civilians killed were women. children, older people with health conditions and health care workers. they were mostly killed during indiscriminate attacks involving rockets, mortars and other explosive weapons with wide area effects, which should never be used and populated areas. but apparently the u. k. government does a see any problem with this of the whole approach to the region, which is still the part off. somalia is quite controversial. and although landon doesn't recognize the independence of somali land, it treats the region as if it is a separate state. rather the u. k even visited, so my land in 2019 and it has reaffirmed the eucharist commitment to support

a somali lancer creative forces. now the democracy in there has also been praised by london and quite a bizarre statement. in so many respects somali land, he's a beacon, it is a place where elections are held. people shake hands afterwards and do not contest them. i hope the u. k. will be able to increase its support for that region. well, any idea why the u. k. saw interested in this break way region. apparently it is because of the black gold british companies in our energy is extracting over 2000000000 a barrels of oil there. while some mine is government in mogadishu, rejects gals claim to own oil rights as the minor land lenders seems to not care about that much. apparently, the u. k puts if interest and greed very high than the lives of many civilians. she is true, true to so 1st as a tragedy. second is a force. so this is the to placidity,

offer foreign especially weston, foreign policy in africa. it's not informed by principal or by values of for in stand and international relations. it always hinges on the very narrow and selfish interests of major western powers in africa. and if it means citing with those who do not have any legitimacy who meet of violence to their own civilians, their own citizens. history has shown so many times that britain, america, and other major western forces do not even care and do not even hesitate to, to throw in their lot with a very violent the shooters,

military assuring does and malicious the african national congress or an see has backtracked on the south african president position on the countries withdrawal from the international criminal court saying it will be a last resort unless a number of changes are adopted. the secretary general, the congress said that consideration should be given to establishing a continental court as a last result to complement b i. c, c, d, a n. c. also noted that national legislation needs to be amended in relation to article 98 of the rome statute. according to which countries are not obliged to deny any immunity to persons subject to an arrest warrant issued by 8 courts earlier, the south african liter accused the hague of unfair treatment for issuing an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir putin. so i think i should pull out of the i c. c last to because of the manner in which the i c. c has been seen to

be dealing with these types of problems. and our view is that we would like this meta unfair treatment to be properly discussed earlier. we spoke with radio host and political commentators, steve gill, who said that south africa is pull up from the i. c. c is inevitable. there are a lot of countries that are not party to the i, c, c, russia would be one, the united states would be another. israel would be another. in fact, at a point when the i c, c was looking at investigating u. s. and israeli actions in afghanistan and, and in the palestinian areas of israel, us threatened and actually imposed sanctions against some of the leaders of the i c . c. until they backed off from us and their desires to investigate us for activities that afghanistan. so i think the south african president is right, that the i c c is, you know, 1st of all, not a total global body. and 2nd,

they kind of pick and choose who they go after, depending on who's putting pressure on them. and then when they do feel that pressure, they either, you know, move forward or back off what you're hearing now from the a and see leadership is they want to move forward and, and take whatever legislative action would be necessary to move forward in removing from the i c c, i think is they have closer ties with russia and with china and the other bricks nations. i think it's, it is inevitable. pesticides abandon the you over there. how threats are being used on farm supplying food giants, including nestle world wide. that's according to a recent report. pesticides, bandanna, you and linked to potential human health risks continue to be produced and exported by european chemical companies. our investigation identified the brazilian farms using the pesticides and the international food and drink companies. they supply among them are multi nationals like nestle coca cola and pepsi co. so according to

this report, pesticides and fungicides made by european companies like germany, bay, south and bare, and switzerland's syngenta are making it into developing countries like brazil, where they're being used on basic ingredients like sugar on plantations that supply western multinational through companies which in turn supply the whole world with these ingredients, brazilian agriculture, ministry, documents and justice ministry officials in south paolo have reportedly confirmed the use of various substances banned in the e u, including insecticides and fungicides in response to the un, special that both her on toxics and human rights caused the export of these chemicals for use in developing countries, a, quote, abhorrent practice. the news is all good though, for the multi nationals with companies like nestle have a just posted absolutely. stella results for the 1st 3 months of this year. all our product groups deliver double digit growth and notable feature in this best 4

quarters in a row, confectionary led by kid cat and munch boasted a strong growth supported by consumer lead campaigns, innovation and engagement. journey base ethan bear say that their products are safe, but what's considered safe in brazil is clearly quite different from europe's own health and environmental safety standards. nestle is basically a knology that stating its compliance in the markets where it operates. we continue to closely followed regulate trend developments. emily well prate to ensure a full compliance for all our products, nestle, not involved in campaign and against the next the and i'm pesticides inactive ingredient, span the here. but what's the point of brussels be? so i'll tell you about who regulations when a loophole this massive exists out of sight out of mind. perhaps. hey, they can these big western multinational reduce to begging in the streets with tin cups. just because you want to virtue signal is concerned over health and

environmental safety, right. but look the fact that some 3 components have to make plain trips from half way around the world. to avoid be seen getting loaded up with dodge chemicals really achieves little of genuine virtue beyond making the look like they're protecting people when they're clearly just displacing the problem. and in rushes, you are all region. at least one person has died in a fire which tore through several local villages before it was contained. firefighters arrived on the scene while people were being evacuated from affected areas. according to russia's ministry of emergency situations, over a 100 buildings have already been destroyed. the firefighters were able to contain the flame to 9000 square meters and save over $1000.00 homes. the cause of the fire remains unknown, but its rapid spread is attributed to strong wind and dry weather. a

bombshell performance as hope looms under shelling. 2 italian directors have produced a film based on the true story of a theatre in the embattled city of don. yes, that keeps working despite the relentless ukrainian bombing, according to the directors, their film has been banned in italy, but it has been shown at a festival in moscow. here's a preview. oh, let me wish me at 730, they begin to bomb again. in response to the dull howled of the dogs left by their owners. on the way, i suddenly heard music from the 2nd act, a swan lake, so quiet as a crying baby. he came from a towering, majestic building in the center. it was sad, dark so, but still very much alive in the besieged and deserted city for months under bombs night and day. the theatre grew continued its rehearsals of swan lake. they said they couldn't allow their concent program to be interrupted. o frame of sherwood is used to what gives such strength to the human spirit. why strive to put on the

performance at any cost and beat them? it's been a year without paying the soldiers russians, and they go down to the bunker after every bombing, as if nothing happened. get video that back to rehearse again. ah, both of the films directors look up a lardy, and my n. o'grady told my colleague, peters thought that in italy their movie is taboo. despite it all being true, we were actually following the events. what happened in the boston in ukraine scenes 2014 and about in 2016, i came across the news. we trusting that the don't boss was going to tour around the i think he was the most board already in russia and i still, i look at what is going going, how's the possible death in the middle of the war you're going to tour? how you especially, but at the open look,

we believe that the films should be bound in italy. i did not come about and how does it make you feel the cultural pulled war i think is very much the alone and, and that we are experiencing it. and we are the victims of, of this and, you know, russia phobia, actually it is part of this cultural war. i mean, not getting is getting warmer and warm. and unfortunately, the why not read the compromising deal may just be on the face and but the see yeah. you know, we think that there is, there are 2 to these things. things. there is art and there is career are, is driven by true beauty and justice and career is driven by money. and we are artists where no workers in the entertainment

industry for those who have seen it. what over reactions have you got and have you changed their opinions on the war and maybe the people in the have this was in italy, it was in high school. if you change very nice town, a very nice festival. and a school with a few classrooms came in and they and they also watched our film and the reaction of the queue that we'll see please. i don't know like mind blowing, they were crying, they were applauding. they were shouting after the film. the teachers came, came to us and they and shook our hands, and they thanked us for what we shown to the kids. we didn't invent anything in the stories that we came to know. diversity, the mind doing everything that they seem to see on the, to actually there even be good stories that they told us that they were really on

the next this yes there. and by the very watching the show of the view, the spectators, the huge level of the sea after it was just like way. yeah. we over the old yes. and so all the orchestra director stopped the music because they thought everyone runs to the ridge, the to the, to the, to the bumps shelter. but no 11, no single person from the audience stood up from their seat. and so the orchestra director gave a sign and they start to play the music again. ah, some disturbing developments and haiti were 13 people, allegedly gang members have been beaten and burned to death. a warning you might find the following image is distressing. according to local police, the killings took place after the victims tried to free some of their compatriots

from a city. 6 more burned bodies were also found near by. but there is no information on who could have killed them. the number of criminal gangs has arisen since the murder of the haitian president in 2021 with many parts of the city becoming lawless. back in july, 2021 president giovano moist say was shot multiple times and died on the spot when a group of hitman broke into his residence. the 1st lady was also wounded, but survived the attack. a full scale man hunt for the perpetrators was launched and the mercenaries were cornered by haitian police, with 3 of them killed the rest, surrendered, and were arrested. several others were detained. later in multiple countries, us authorities have charged 11 people over the assassination with one suspect plead guilty to providing material support and conspiring to kidnap and kill the haitian

president. for those suspects are american citizens, according to the us, justice department authorities also say that while the murder occurred in haiti, the plot itself was financed from florida. a right inside united states conspirators facilitators located here that the for individual arrested. earlier this morning, for defendants have now been charged in. earlier we spoke to american journalists, kim ives, who said that despite the ongoing investigation, many questions remain unanswered. there's been a lot of speculation that show up no more ways was beginning to make a political change of direction. he'd been very much doing washington bidding,

particularly and helping to head the campaign against them as well. and again, president nicholas madura, but he was having 2nd thoughts and feelings at the state department was not giving him really backing he needed so according to some analysts in particular, one up the mileage is he claimed that it was the u. s. secret services, meaning the cia which was behind the killing because we was going to make a political change of direction. that's almost his direct quote. there's so there's been a lot of speculation on this front, but right now we don't really know who were the intellectual authors, who were the real funders of this very large operation, which had to have cost millions of dollars. and the fact that the u. s. government is taking control of an investigation of

a haitian president leads us to suspect that we could be looking at a situation very similar to the warren commission. canada's prime minister has found himself in hot water after claiming he did not force anyone to get cobit vaccinations. and therefore, while not forcing anyone to get vaccinated, i chose to make sure that all the incentives and all the protections were there to encourage canadians to get vaccinated. if you don't want to get vaccinated, that's your choice. but don't think you can get on a plane or a train besides vaccinated, people put them at rest. if you joined the protest, because you're tired of coven, you now need to understand your breaking laws. during the pandemic, just introduced government announce some of the most strict anti co,

but measures which included travel restrictions and compulsory vaccination for adults and children age 12 and over the draconian measures sparked protests across the country, including the famous freedom convoy, which started in ottawa as a riley of truckers against vaccination and culminated and emergency measures announced by the government. the recent remarks marked a social media storm at using the canadian prime minister of hypocrisy. right, he did not force anyone to get vaccinated. he only unjustly fired them financially attacked them. persecuted them, insulted them, denied them basic rights, prevented them from travelling, et cetera. so tolerant. justin trudeau who implemented some of the most brutal vaccine mandates on earth and punished any one who opposed it. now claims that he never forced the shot on any one. when politicians can beat the truth,

they try to join, you don't let them holy justin trudeau, the man who locked down his country, stopped unvaccinated from attending.
