he met with chinese defense minister lee shun food not comes as earlier in the month. the same at chinese official met with him. and also president putin, in the kremlin earlier survey show good, gave some remarks at the shanghai security organization meeting were all this is happening at bringing together the blocks talk, defense chiefs, let's get into the oven. cross live now to the indian capital, and speak to host of worlds apart here. and archie, oksana, boy co. hi there. it's ella. yet take us through the russian minister's busy morning on this significance of today's meeting of defense chiefs. ah, a little bit of a connection ish. i think we can just hear examine, alexander, if you can hear me. okay, go ahead. ah, well, you know, let me try one more time. it's been indeed a truly

a busy morning for many of us in new delhi, with the indian as seo presidency ushering in some new approaches to asian or your asian security. as we have reported before, the home for this conference was said by the bilateral meeting between the defense ministers of india and china. which in and of itself was a pretty remarkable event because it's the 1st meeting of such kind after border clashes in 2020 and the ministers trust the frankness of their discussions and really showed i think, the both the spirit of this particular conference and the new spirit emerging here in eurasia, and definitely within the vision. hi, corporation organization of taking regional security into the hands of the countries that inhabit this region, rather than outsourcing it to a german, across the world. and this theme,

all american dominance of western germany was particularly a theme of russian defense minister survey showing good cool accused the united states of trying to saw des worth of trying to so violent with the sake of protecting its own privileged position. here is exactly what they had to say. route through my live cardinal dynamic, an irreversible changes are taking place in the process of the formation of a new multi polar world. the collective west actively opposes this in an effort to maintain global dominance. the united states and its allies have seriously eroded the global security architecture on their initiative. the process of breaking and dismantling key agreements on arms control and confidence building was launched a little more. ah, now beach and high corporation organization, private self, one being the world's largest regional organization,

both in terms of geographical scope and population. it covers it's, it's members, i should say, cover roughly 60 percent of your ration landmass where roughly 40 percent of mobile population leave on that in and of itself allows the actual to become a sort of laboratory for exploring new ways of doing diplomacy, of doing conflict resolution of doing foreign policy, the presence of 3, the 3 giants, china, india, and russia, allows them to explore new ways of how they can deal with each other, how they can settle. there are substantial differences and disagreements on, on the bi lateral or trilateral basis. but also how they can communicate and engage with their smaller alex small and neighbors in the same spirit of mutual respect and dignity. and the issue surrounding the security of central asia is

critical for all of them, but particularly for russia and china war extremely concerned at this point of time that the united states may try to saw instability in some of those states off dr. withdrawing from afghanistan in order to sort of pre k was in the underbelly for both and down debrel or both russia in china because it defines them as adversaries. and there was a lot of talk during the conference that this is something that would not be beneficial to central asian states. russian particularly made a point that the united states is trying to essentially do the same kind of policy did in ukraine, militarize it heavily antagonizing it against its neighbor. this show the express home that this is something that did not come to pass yours. his exact words

make him the united states and its allies under the pretext of helping in the fight against terrorism, or trying to restore their military presence in central asia. we regard request to the countries of the region to deploy military infrastructure as a direct threat to the stability in the shanghai cooperation organizations space. for our part, we are increasing the combat readiness of russian military bases in kurdistan. an educator stand, no russia's defense minister also made a point. the regional powers have a lot to gain from that corporation in military sphere and particularly singled out a couple of trajectories that can take, for example, the exchange of military information joined exercises, both as a way of increasing mutual trust and as a way of increasing combat readiness and tactical, tactical preparedness,

he also said that russia could share its expertise on how to produce all parade to defend against the use of drones. this is a particular theme emerging out of the ukrainian conflict. the worth of priority that versus defense minister mentioned is conflict resolution. now that's one in particular is obviously very pressing for russia, reaches engaged, involved in confrontation in your brain. and it's also something that both india and china are looking at with great interest, as you perhaps know, china has been pretty successful in bringing together our tribals, like saudi arabia in iran, india, as a, as a former member of knowing the line moment. and the representative of the global south would also old for some new perspectives on how to conduct international relations and how to conduct diplomacy in a way that actually falster is peace rather than on to mind. and thanks very much

for bringing us through all that and what was, as you've been going through a busy morning in the indian capital host of worlds, a part in our to international excel report also, significance today after meeting the arrival of the chinese defense minister in new delhi for the 1st time this and decade in 2020 deadly clashes over a disputed area on the indian chinese border rock. the region are correspond. busy quarter rates on how the new common goals and cooperation have replaced year as long contention among s. c o. members. hi states meeting of the shanghai co operation organization sitting old rivals down at the same table. china's defense ministers making his 1st visit to new delhi since a deadly 2020 sino indian border skirmish and after 18 rounds of talks aimed at using tensions. indian defense minister raj not sing categorically conveyed the

development of relations between india and china is premised on the prevalence of peace and tranquillity at the board. us, he reiterated that violation of existing agreements has eroded the entire basis of bilateral relations and disengagement at the border will logically be followed with these collation, the 2020 skirmish took place in the disputed border region of le dock in the western himalayas that killed at least, 20 indian and 4 chinese soldiers with both sides, putting the blame on the other. it's just one and a series of scraps that dates back decades. but with the chinese defense ministers visit and pakistan's foreign minister joining the meeting. it looks like diplomacy is on the agenda that despite decades old sour relations between new delhi and islam of odd and wide spread opposition and india to the participation of pakistan's top diplomat in the summit. but india has not back down on its invitation. and that's a move beijing is more than happy with noting the china in pakistan, our old,

whether strategic, cooperative partners and close friends. the weiss, chairman of china's central military commission, said that no matter how the international situation changes, china always gives pakistan priority in its neighbourhood. diplomacy, the shanghai cooperation organization consists of 8 member states, 42 percent of the world's population, and 25 percent of its g. d. p. formed by china, russia, and for central asian countries back in 2001. the organization was and is still intended to counter western influence in the region with the ukraine conflict in full swing and multi polarity growing throughout the world. groups like this one are more relevant than ever. ever interesting to see what comes out of that meeting, isn't it? and earlier we spoke with her number of regional global affairs experts who point out the shanghai cooperation organization is a perfect platform for resolving disputes which exists between the groupings.

members meeting is very important in don't the situation. i mean we have seen that in india and boxes on have this. ready you can be discussing which needs to be resolved. i think it's very good platform to use on issues and to do the giant not because broadly, especially when we took into the world situation or what 30 percent of the world of g d p is going to see you over 40 percent of the entire world is part of the tree, so i think it is very organ platform if it would be utilized properly. strict buyer would definitely has to start negotiations, especially dissolving to the main need. i think what has to understand why india. ready junior followed and they need to resolve the issue by dialogue.

and i think what she supported after you would be ready the platform to resolve issues. and india will bring the piece to the world as well. i feel me confusing policy and even provide an oppertunity for india and china being date with each other between the defense minister let the major know oh, out the say the last chance photon at the, at the engage with each other at a high level defense minister level and now because of the, the can talk to each other face to face on the sidelines of the conference, their corporate focus on economically terms of investment and trade off. i guess the packets are not allow the border dispute to define the

relationship. i think that's the important game in their membership inside that deal. hopefully we can find the way or it will be easier for them to be a goal. or at least, you know, to, to keep the issue people that are seeing more classes or more in the future. can we turn attention to africa where the sudanese army on their adversary's from the part of the military rapid support forces group have a nice this 72 are a ceasefire extension. but in spite of attempts to stop the bloodshed which began almost 2 weeks ago, the violence continues. the truth extension was hesitantly welcomed by foreign states trying to evacuate their citizens from the conflict. so just to show what you're looking at here, this is crowds gathering in the coastal city of port sudan and the attempt to escape the country. now the u. k. has urged those with british and citizenship to

leave the country as quickly as possible, warning that they may not be able to be moved after the cease fire expires. according to the w h o. more than 450 people have been killed over 4000 wounded in the conflict to dates. what clashes as mentioned have not stopped the spicy and spend all the seats for some of the latest furniture we have here shows soldiers celebrating. after ceasing our asset weapons that munition several parts of the capitol cartoon of been bombed with the military deploying air force jets to target the opposition function. it comes as both sides in the conflict are using a heavy weapons to bombard each other. a local correspondence sent us this report 70 to our sci fi, our pro sorted by the u. s. on so the kingdom did not go as blown on, completely felt. the armies are crossed are being, are estimated to repair. this was vehicles and are still roaming in many of them

feel errors in hospital and complete. the regards of the ceasefire agreement, clash is gone to, to what intensive re between the army and the roughest of our forces resulting into more casualties. this is denise doc, north union, city of that, 72 percent of hospitals, neobitz nauseous areas, which is $59.00 out if your hospitals in the capital on the stats are currently out of service. on the $23.00 hospitals are currently operating on some of them provide 1st aid only so far. 6 ambulance is how you know that. and we're not allowed to which to enjoy people with intent or just being collateral damage. i talking local hospitals on health syndrome. accessor past the crisis and hospital as many civilians were seriously injured if you would do a shell on the local medical center in their money. some neighboring countries are suggested hosting. the leaders of the student is conflict on invited them to a dialogue that might lead to ending this crisis. this is denise arm for assess, did not comment on the previous international obese. however,

the office of the army spokesperson is stated that the bron received that you got initiative, which decided to assign the president of south sedan kenia angie 40 to walk on proposal stories on the armed conflict and so done. the proposal revolved our own 2 main points, extending the currency fire for an additional 72 hours on sending wonder was effective from the armed forces on the counter bought from robert support for assisted you back to negotiate the details of this initiative. the armis hawks morrison form that were hon, expressed the initial approval of all these proposals on the other side are as if a man have not responded yet to the a guide to share what some analysts believe that the arisant might be open to negotiation based on the acceptance of the previous, these fire proposals, this is the news people are suffering greatly in the capital without green watch or electricity banking services, or even cash forcing some of them do it for this. the factory is to provide for

their families. our full fled, she went to orient. price, all listed on the stool sized are still fighting. firstly, making the capitol and 10 other recess. i brought the wrong for that. the law saying r t. so don horrible. ok. moving the program on the earth, sirens were heard across ukraine. overnight, explosions were reported in several cities. this footage shows a residential building head in the premium city of yuma. these 10 people are believed have been killed and a further 17 wounded. emergency services are working up the scene. now here has play moscow for conducting the strike. however, moscow has repeatedly stated it does not attack civilian infrastructure and previously noted there been several cases of koreans, missiles, mistakingly hitting apartment block in the morning. i'll show you as well. the city of dunn. yes. in dawn buff for children have been wounded. according to local

officials, the boys reportedly find an object detonated when they tried to push it off or wrote, initial report stated it was an anti personal petal mine which exploded, but that has not been confirmed yet by authorities. with the ukraine conflict, still raging many civilians and don boss have been displaced by ukrainian shilling residents of done yet. republic cooper to flee their homes have been describing to us their life than the line of fire. little stock of the union as we were afraid of shelling every day. our house has been shall twice. we live on the so called red line. shelling destroys our infrastructure. there is no military in this area. only civilians. don bass is constantly hit. people are dying. children are dying. we live in hell. let those who say that ukraine doesn't target civilians come and see how many people have been killed here, including children,

and how many destroyed houses and facilities there are. what i did a little under them. my parents house has been shelled who was hit right on the roof. the whole house was destroyed. thank god, my parents were not home at that moment. locals have already learned how to know which side a shilling. yes and of attire is constantly attacked because this city is on the demarcation line. we know that ukraine destroys infrastructure indiscriminately. the city has hit badly. there are still no water in some areas and constant blackouts. while for more all that i'm delighted to say that human and labor rights lawyer done conflict joins me in this tribute. don, you're very welcome to the program until you're somebody with an extensive knowledge of this region and what's been going on there. if i can start though, with an aspect that seems to be gathering pace, the in you have spent an enormous amounts of cash taxpayer's money, we should point out and and ukrainians have fled the block. now reports are

emerging that one member state romania in particular, is cutting a sizable amount of funding. how significant is something like that? well, i think it's significant, especially if this is an indication that the west, in general is tiring of the conflict of the refugee crisis. ah, and may be backing away from it. you know, i mean, it's sad because at least in my view, you know, the west help provoke all this. and now they seem exhausted from it and want to back off, you know? and certainly why i oppose the military aid to ukraine. i think that the west has an obligation to help those have been displaced on the conflict. and again, if this is a sign that where the you is going, it's quite problems. i think it's just interesting, isn't it though? because you do read the headlines. you know,

the brotherhood is tighter than ever. the countries you know are, are better place to help each other than ever before. but then when you dig into the money, the financial line, you countries like poland even who are her cutting some housing subsidies and know this romania it's the east which appears to be taking the brunt of the west's decisions in this. yeah, was true and that's been true for a long time. you can, as your report showed when you see families, ukrainian families in ra, stuff which i visited in november. you saw a lot of cars in ross, off and on with the creamy and license plates. right. because they've had tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of refugees since 2014. and you never hear about those refugees right in rushes, taken in a lot of those people and will continue to take in those people. yes. so i do think that the east is bearing the brunt of this kind of quietly without much fanfare and

without certainly the western media, paying any attention to a, just to touch upon. and some of what was a lively day to day in new delhi, at the meeting of defense minister circ a show do rushes defense miner's through making some interesting comments including saying, we have heard it before, but just he, he puts a meet on the bone of this, that the west ultimate goal in the conflict and ukraine is to inflict the strategic the feet on russia with that in mind. if that's how things stand can piece in the near future actually happen it's, that's the stance. well, if that's the continued stance, i would say no, you know, the, i think it's up to people in the west. it's up to people in the united states, to say enough is enough. and we don't want to fight a proxy war against russia. and i think there is a growing sentiment in the u. s. in some western european countries just to that

effect that they don't want to support this proxy war, that they don't see rushes in enemy. and they don't see, somehow undermining russia is a legitimate national security concern. quite curiously, in the us, it's really the republicans seem to be taking that position more than the democrats, which is a bit of a reversal from the past where at least the democratic face was more inclined towards peace. you know, the recent on verified at pentagon documents some interesting tidbits from not as well. they stated on the possible date was unveiled of the ukrainian country offensive. it was supposed to come to a head a run. know, in fact, your thoughts are something that's not going ahead. no. well again, i think ukraine is not in a position to, to fight a real counter offensive. they're running out of troops. we know that they're forcibly recruiting people from the streets. you know, younger people, you know,

that meaning minor children, elderly and they're running out of ammunition. so what this indicates to me is it shows what a lot of us have known that this is as much a p r war as it is a real conflict for ukraine. and that's also underscore by the fact that they are letting seem to be letting russia know when they're going to engage in a counter offensive. i mean, that seems like a strange military strategy. i don't think like the 4 d day eisenhower rang a hitler and said, you know, we're going to be in date in france tomorrow. you know, usually it's a surprise. but again, it shows that how important the, you know, the optics of and i think the west has been pushing for this counter offensive. i think you will have to go forward with it. but i think it's going to be a disaster for that that, that that's what it is. something else to talk about. ukraine's presidential advisor, i said that there is nothing preventing key from destroy in the regions. russia

considers its own while at the same time. western media outlets have been blaming russia for, quote, unprovoked, and violent actions, though you could almost laugh off comments like that except for what has happened since 2014 civilians in those regions have been attacked. and cutlass people, humping killed by key f missiles. the west is silent, surely, surely they have to comment on this. what you would think so, but they have all the people of the dawn bass region which have been under attack from their own governments, 2014 or forgotten people. i visited their november. i was internet and these are very brave people. they've suffered a lot as you know, the figure, something like 14000 people died 2014, up to even before russia special military operations in february of last year. but

those are the people that the wes, his pretended doesn't exist, that they are casualties and deaths don't matter. and again, that you crane let's, let's just, you know, kind of break this down a little bit for ukraine to say that they could destroy the regions under rushes control. what they're really saying is they could destroy their own people, right? this is part of ukraine, and it's a very strange thing, like ukraine's keep saying that they are, they don't want to give up any territory rushing. and yet they're willing to destroy their own territory. they'd rather destroy their own territory, destroy their own people than lot of go to russia. but what does that say about their intent? it's quite scary and again that the west is completely sun and about it returns. this isn't happening. is disgraceful, really, at the holiest and week of the christian calendar is easter, but it was over shouted in the orthodox calendar this year by the continued persecution of the orthodox russian orthodox church, or sorry,

in cleaning orthodox church, which is aligned to russia. and you know, its followers have of some of the same beliefs except for it now. it was clumped on on in ukraine. people, monks.
