[000:00:00;00] ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, 7 people, including a child are killed and 10 others wound it as the city of done that comes under your premium showing forgiveness of the united states and its allies have seriously eroded the global security architect. russia's defense minister claims western powers are undermining global stability, as he speaks at a meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization. and, and iranian court orders the u. s. to pay hundreds of millions of dollars and

compensation for supporting terrorism with coming to you live in the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. and we begin with the latest from the ukraine conflict, as at least 7 people have been killed, including one child after a rocket, fired by ukrainian forces hit a bus. and the city of done that, that's according to the head of the don us republic. another 10 people were wounded in the incident. i number of cars were also damage and windows of nearby buildings blown out. a park, several apartment blocks and a hospital were also said to have been hit. health authorities claim the only functioning m r i machine in the region was left damaged. i'm standing right next to a passenger bus where according to authorities,

at least 7 passengers of this bus have been killed is the results of a multiple launch rocket system. fire by ukrainian nationalist, we're not going to go any closer to this bus because i, when there earlier had i counted at least 7 charred bodies of civilians. now this is the sensor of the city of the nest. a very busy street on a friday afternoon and right next to us is the local, a hospital, a local, a trauma sensor, where those people who were injured arrive by ambulances, and they're being treated like all, and all ukrainian nationalists, fired against the city of den, ask against civilian areas, several times this friday and as a result right now we can confirm that 7 people have been killed and scores have been wounded once again. we are right in the center of the city where there are absolutely no military positions. and usually the center of the city doesn't come

under fire, unlike the outskirts of the city of the nest that are constantly under bombardment by ukrainian or military. as you can see right now, i'm investigators are working on the scene of the the, the bus driver of the cervical he survived, but most of his passengers, 7 people have been killed as the result of this ukrainian attack. also, besides the local trauma center besides this bus, another rocket landed and a local stadium right in middle of the field. and generally there are several areas here in the center of the nest that came on their shelling by ukrainian military rushes, defense minister claims the u. s military has been seeking to bolster as presents and central asia under the guise of fighting terrorism. he made the comment

steering meeting and the shanghai cooperation organization in india. no southern in 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 organization space. for our part, we are increasing the combat readiness of russian military bases in kurdistan. and educate stan, it's been indeed a tool we a busy morning for many of us in new delhi with the indian as seo presidency ushering in some new approaches to asians, or eurasia and security tool 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 at the 1st meeting of such kind after border clashes in 2020. and the ministers trust the frankness of their discussions and really shows that the spirit of this particular conference and the new spirit emerging here in eurasia american dominance of western had germany, was particularly a theme of russian defense minister survey. sure, a girl who accused the united states of trying to saw decent worth of trying to. so violence will they say, oh, protecting its own privileged position. first group or 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. the actual prize itself on being the world's largest regional organization covering are roughly 60 percent of the reef and land mass, russia, india, and china sea central and south asia, as hugely potential a region that could provide many synergies in economic development. but it is also quite sensitive to various security threats coming from non state actors like terrorists organizations, but also state actors and the western particular russia in china, mainly concerned the united states. austrian rather disorderly withdrawal form of ghana son may now seeks to create instability in central agency as a means all undermining its adversaries. in beijing and moscow is something that russian defense minister, in particular, paid attention to. because russia believes that what the united states is trying to

do in central asia is pretty much exactly the same, what it already did in your crane militarized country, trying to make it increasingly antagonistic towards russia. russians, defense minister also made a point. the regional powers have a lot to gain from that corporation in military to your industry, 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, he also said that russia could share it's an expertise on how to produce all parade, to defend against the use of droll, this is a particular theme emerging out of the ukrainian conflict, the worth priority. the versus offensive minister mentioned is conflict resolution . now that one in particular is crossing 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 and iran, india, as a former member of knowing the line moment. 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 peas rather than on the minds of the russian foreign minister has head out at comments by the us ambassador to moscow and an interview she gave to local media us ambassador lin, tracy's interpretation of events in ukraine, in 20132014 is striking in its selectivity and outright falsehood. perhaps the ambassador was simply unaware, and her assistance did not inform her,

but there are clearly missing pieces in this puzzle. the truth and the correct sequence of events among the claims made by the us diplomat was at the ukrainian government at 1st supported the e u association of remit back in 2013. before later abandoning it. lynn tracy also accused russia of annex and crimea, despite locals there almost unanimously supporting the peninsula entry into russia . the ambassador also claim the us doesn't have any disagreements with the people of russia, which the russian foreign ministry stress. she had obviously forgotten us. weapons are currently being used against russian service been and don bass civilians, international affairs and security analysts march. the boda believes that ambassador tracy's statements are the usual us narrative between washington and

moscow. it boiler plate us narrative between the tensions between the us and russia and the situations that have been occurring in ukraine since the overthrow, the openly us backed overthrow of the last legitimate, democratically elected government, there in 2014. the only thing that the regime forces are actually doing is pushing the buttons, doing the fighting and dying. everything else is done by the u. s. i think it's extremely incorrect. us is not just helping kill russians. it is de facto killing russians in ukraine and not just russian military, of course, but civilians, civilians of the don boss of the hair on zapora, rosure, and areas in crimea and vulgar that have been targeted by key regime forces as

well. it seems an innocent question from an inquisitive child has got people speculating in the u. s. over who's really running the show in the white house. one thing i got when i got to the president, i get to give orders. when i take more orders than i ever did, and you're right earlier this week, joe, by then announced his re election, been seeking a 2nd term in office phone numbers. don't suggest overwhelming support for that idea. i gallop survey found only 37 percent of us adults approve of the president's performance. that's the lowest. it's been says this sort of his presidency. meanwhile, a new york times article this week also suggested that power in the us doesn't necessarily reside with the person sitting in the oval office. we're just going to start strange that may sound the american government can function without a healthy president. the u. s. march towards victory in world war 2. will franklin

roosevelt was ailing in 1944, and 945. for decades later, the government managed its relationship with the teetering soviet union, while ronald reagan's mental capacity slipped. in each case, white house aides, cabinet secretaries and military leaders performed well despite the lack of a fully engaged leader for unless those cross live now to legal and media analyst, lionel lionel is always great to have you on the program. so i guess the question here after what we just heard is, has a slip of the tongue by jo, by and, and given the game away, i mean, has he lifted the curtain on where power actually resides in the u. s. government? no, because that was one of the most lucid statements he's made in quite a while, but that's not a problem walking or we're shaking hands with people who are there. forgetting that he was in ira, ireland,

and juicy is what mr. things like that. i think that would be more of an indicator. let's go back to this new york times that this, this is classic. i, my de one that we don't need a code and lucid president it at a very this, this is beautiful. now it's true. f t r did have polio and towards the end of his life and in the last portion of his life, he had some problem, a true, but his mental capacity was never question. white eisenhower suffered heart attacks is mitchell good past that he was required. mister. now, woodrow wilson had a series of strokes that was a different story, but nobody really knew anything about that. that, of course, was a different time. so you can try this all you. what here is the issue. there is a new flavor. what they do is when ever the facts change,

they just change the euphemisms. for example, they say he was a to, we really need to communicate with the american people. is it really important? or the commander in chief, the president of the united states to have west. i'm frances, and to speak and communicate to we really need the exact phrase they use. it says don't listen to what i say, watch what i do. and they're saying this repeatedly. now here is the question. when it's the ever want to stump any american in particular, somebody who claims a be historian, ask them, what do you do in the event you ever had a president who was for some reason incapacitated? let's say. in the case of 1981, when ronald reagan was shot, he was in the hospital, they didn't know what would he be out for a week a month? no one knew, it's not very clear. i turn, of course,

to our handy dandy constitution and we look at the 25th, the men men, and it is one of the most confusing stories of actually happens. what racial here is, the issue, which is the most important. do you know what the insurance policy is that joe biden has against anybody bring to remove him because you could do it under almost a and kind of an orchestrated preferred aloud who were the vice president. the members of the executive committees get together and submit something, and of course he can fight this. but do you know what his insurance policy is from ever being removed? her name as kamala harris. and what people are saying is that they know that suited to say, you know, he's really acting what, whatever. there were all drive amolla harris and all discussion stopped completely. this redefined. do you remember rachel when they

thought a while back at that donald trump and the way he held, he held a glass. this is a man who gives to our speeches without it without a prompt or go hours. he did go hazel golf every day he's playing and now he's more have been people a 3rd of the day, but because the old a glad i swear to god, they said maybe something's wrong. maybe he psychopathic. i don't know how they made this connection. now those shame experts can be found. i don't know where they are now. this is the most beautiful story. and here's the thing. we're being gas light. it, we don't know what to say. what does he have to do before people say? all right, that's not that that's done. now, every time a foreign dignitary comes in, they and there's a red carpet normally, you know, when you see that red carpet kind of burned into us, the red carpet and the expression, the red carpet, the academy awards. you go for the red carpet, not us. no, no, we go around it the back and it, it, it,

it. so who's the joke? the jokes are made, the jo shawna is doing fine and the democrats are court and tear less. they don't know what the problem is. they're happy. they don't know. they are show rachel, they are show unified, not budging. the republicans, fractured fractious, all confused, waking a party to different segments, not the democrat. so let me tell you for the right now. he's going to win. i don't care if he's in a hospital. if he's on life support, if he's in a coma, he is going to win and there's nothing any can do about. remember that. i certainly will remember that and i think you figured out us politics right there. i mean, it's just choose, they're running, they who is so popular that the american people would never want them to be president and then your goldman. all right, so speaking of joe biden, i mean, we know that he's been more than a little gaff prone,

and there are concerns about his age, about his health. will the suggestion of someone else giving the orders actually come as a relief to some? do you think to know that it's not just joe biden, they're deciding on everything for the u. s. government i would venture to say, rachel, that many people would say that's already going on. now. the idea that's already occurred. listen, let me explain something. if it pains me to ever mock some one who is in the throes of senescence, some one who was whizzing and hobbled by decrepitude, especially when he's the leader of your country. we all have members of our family grandmother's grandpa, whatever, friends it scene, people go through this. it's not funny. so i don't like making a joke about this. just so however happens that this particular position that he holds kind of them important. some people would suggest rachel, that this is already being done, that there already is some form of

a committee or somebody oversight review. somebody who kind of lays the groundwork and then he'd maybe finalizes or whatever. so the idea and somehow at it, if any gaps, it's become more, more reagan or more severe. that all the sudden, the decision making process it ceases to exist. i don't think that's gonna happen. in fact, i think most of us will be sh. i'll much the how many decisions are made by all president i committees and, and other agencies and the like. but here's the question. people are going to be asking, now we're talking about, should there be an age? should there be an age limit? our constitution provides for a minimum, may just be 35 years old to be president. 35 this, this was, this was considered old, you know, in the, in the late 18th century. but now we're asking, should we change that? and here's the question. oh, do you determine what is acceptable sickness? so when is when people get older and believe it or not,

it will happen to you that that job doesn't come as quick and sometimes you don't know where your keys already. i get names of your kids. i mean, it happens, but when does it become so advance that it threatens the, the, the functioning of a government? nobody can answer that. there are people i know who are 30 years old. i wouldn't trusted riding home from the airport. so age doesn't necessarily mean that much. so all of this is fascinating, but i'm telling you right now, and if it's not, joe biden is going to be gavin news, and he's going to win again. be just the g o p. the republicans are the worst, they have nothing, they don't know. they have trump, they have this where they can make up their mind. but the democrats, unified, solidified their and, and voice that they are certainly some important predictions. there will keep an eye on those and definitely have you back on to talk about it. legal and media

analysts. lionel, thanks so much for your time and insight and thank you. are ron has ordered, taught us officials and entities to pay more than $300000000.00 in compensation to victims of a series of attack several years ago by the terrorist group known as diana or i saw the court ruling so the us had provided support for the group and was thus liable for the bloodshed. the reasons for attributing these crimes to the us have also been stated by the investigator branch, among others as follows. statements by hiring can officials, including the former us president about the central role of the government and officials of that country in organizing and direct interest groups including isis reliable news and information published in the american media books and speeches by american officials about the role of the cia in create interest groups including isis. the court rulings specifically targeted former us president george

w bush and brock obama, as well as the ca and defense contractor lockheed martin. the terrorist attacks occurred in june 2017 in central to ron and the national parliament building, and the mazel liam of the country. former supreme leader, 17 people including m. p. 's were killed about 50 other people were wounded, dash immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. political analyst and terror on university professor siad mohammed moran the discuss the significance of the court's ruling with my colleague earlier. there is a long history here because the united states has taken iran to court inside the united states on many occasions. they've even taken the iran to court over 911 if anyone can believe that iran has been regularly punished by the u.

s. the u. s. government and us courts. and the iranian, since they have had assets are frozen in the united states and in europe. it's, that's always been a problem. iran doesn't hold us assets. so in immediate future, there really isn't much that can be done. but the world is changing rapidly in the americans are withdrawing from the region and who knows what sort of opportunities will be around in the coming months and years. but i think at least for the moment it is a political response to the united states. it's sort of the global south speaking back to power. right. and the iranians are saying that remind or reminding the from famously admitted during his residential campaign. and he knew that because michael flynn was his military and intelligence, his advisor and we've had other officials admitted. and in the media and books come out. so this is basically

a reminder that the iranians have been suffering at the hands of the united states . and this is just one chapter. let's move on to a little bit about iran on it's relations with russia, china in the south africa, the bricks. how do you see it, ron? moving in, in this direction. time is not on the side of the americans because as the world changes, iran relationships with countries like china and russia in india are evolving. and now that iran is a member of the shanghai cooperation organization that has also benefited iran relationship with these countries and russia ever since the war in ukraine in the war in europe. the russians have been very keen on establishing the north south transport core door with iran. so you rhymes you economic relations. political relations, of course,

are significant that have said big significantly improved as well. but he wanted economic relations with these asian powers. and with the global south are evolving and that is making american sanctions that's effective. i think the united states and europeans have to keep in mind that in the world they are a small minority. latin american countries are converging whether the americans like it or not. asian countries are converging that we see the same sort of trend in africa. and then we have these broader groupings like rick cit, link all of these different continents to one another. u. s. troops will stay in somalia, that's after a resolution to pull them out of the war torn african country was defeated. a similar move to withdraw. troops from syria was previously defeated as well. and the 1st announce series was syria. and i came to this floor only got about

a 103 votes. i made the argument that our troops were essentially sitting ducks, guarding oil extraction operations, where their presence was known, where their location was easily identifiable. and i called for a withdrawal that withdrawal was defeated and then precisely what i predicted more us casualties for moraneus drones. that's what happened exactly what i said would occur. there are currently $900.00 us troops in somalia give or take in this resolution would bring them home. us troops have been stationed in a moment since 992 and yet have failed to bring stability to the region. somalia has been in constant choruses for more than 4 decades, but the situation worse me a cheer, according to you and reports, millions of people suffer from food and security and a lack of access to clean water areas. militant groups, including the notorious, all sure, bob are active in the region. sewing instability and feeling crises in the country retired us air force officer. karen quite koski believes,

as most americans don't know where us troops are located around the world, educating them on that would be a good 1st step. it might be the fact that the democratic party narrative and the republican party narrative is to, is a unipolar approach, which is american troops are everywhere and they never come home. oh, you know, they, they, they like the idea that we are, we have global reaching global power. and these certainly, syria is one thing because obviously we're profiting, you know, we're pumping the syrian oil and sending it to texas or wherever i mean to be, you know, so this is slightly different than what we're doing in somalia. but dumb somalia is a strategic location for us and so it's almost like there's a certain prestige that they don't want to lose by oh, we have to you know, we should bring these troops on. i think if these congressmen spoke to their constituents and informed them that we have troops there, which people probably didn't know that their people would say we should bring him

home and spend the money at home. i mean, that's what most people are clamoring for in the united states. one of the good things about these, both of these votes, is that they do raise awareness. the very fact that a vote was held. it's a huge 1st step. and i'm kinda glad to see it, you know, didn't, didn't win. it didn't, didn't prevail. but in fact, it's part of the education of this country to see votes like that being brought to the floor. ah, more than 6000000 people now suffer from chronic shortage of food in somalia, and that's leading to a rapidly escalating humanitarian crisis and the east african state doctor's face, a daily struggle to save lives and the country now suffering is most severe.

drought and for decades. oh the support is coming on. this is a buffer compute pollutant. heard it, they have got a on behalf my mom solution because ordered to have some on the on lawson life. like we need use if you are doing it for it's better to have it add. lou suffer not made sofa with thankfully, since we got here, his situation is improving and slowly getting better. he was put on

a drip and is also receiving medication. and i had i latinos, and my child got sick and i brought him to this hospital. he was received well and is feeling much better now with a christian starvation colt has claimed the lives of at least 90 kenyans with body is continuously being discovered by police. the country's president vowed to crack down on the group and it's later paul mackenzie, people like mackenzie, an all other territories. and criminals did not belong to any religion. they belong to james. and that is where they should be a major search as under way in
