are aware that their power is waiting. they don't want to say, ah ah, headline stories overnight artillery strikes by ukrainian troops leads to civilians dead to others wounded in russia. brianne stepped border re connecting to local officials for kids. fresh nuclear power plant built by a russian company receives official state as the 2 countries leader to attend a commemoration ceremony via video link. i'm in despite rumors about friendship type or to want to help. also head with gunfire club or strikes market 3rd week of fighting in soon does the security of

locals is threatened with bringing you the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments to welcome to the weekly on rti international. we begin with the latest news from the russian border regional 3 else, 2 civilians helping killed and 2 more wounded after tea of troop shell, the village there. according to local officials, we can show you footage of the aftermath of the attack here, which has been circulating on social media authority say one house was completely destroyed by the shelling and subsequent fire. the village was reportedly struck several times in the early hours of sunday morning by the ukrainian artillery emergency services are. this is james with

a total deaf toll. not yet confirmed officials fear some people may not. others will bring you more on that story when it comes to enroll. ukraine's presidency kit is ready to take the crimean peninsula mall and i am saying that his troops are planning, inoffensive law. the mirror zelinski statement though, is in contrast to what his national security chief recently said, who suggested key of is waiting for more western weapons to launch an attack. and another official ukrainian armed forces commander has declared that his forces are facing a luck of manpower and equipment due to heavy losses on the battlefield. the problem is that we have a lack of people and equipment because those who are professional soldiers hardens in patriotism, already exhausted, injured or recovering while they have died. that is why we invite people the misery experience, and we train them so that they have the adequate preparation to face the enemy.

ukraine claims of an arm shortage come despite the 10s of billions of dollars in military 8, it's all ready receive the u. s. alone has sent to 1000000 runs of artillery shells, but hundreds of thousands more for tanks mortars an empty tank systems. international law specialist under thomas housing sees washington is sending everything it come to kiev. ignoring that a sizable amount of those supplies are being squandered or ending up in the hands of terrorists and criminal gangs. well that they are caught in their own legend of this conflict. and this, this conflict is a legend of a just and an unjust war. nato and led by the current president of america biden. and his ideologues lincoln, that is really why why they keep furnishing all of this, they will find no. when you're, when you are extinguishing a fire, you will throw a lot of water. this fire, the lot of the water will not be useful,

it will fall. it will not fall on the fire on the site. so they accept that they are maybe 40 percent losses. that 40 percent of the supplies i actually lost or don't become. i don't become effective at the end of world war 2 in germany clearly lost the wall. germany's propaganda machine was continuing to proclaim victories even tried, took aim at the desk of 800000 german soldiers in sliding rock. as a victory of the, the propaganda can become ridiculous. and of course yes, in the end that, that nazi regime assembled the last people that could walk 12 year old boy, 2nd year old boys, old men, 70 year old men, to, to throw them into the way of the advancing, liberating armies from the west and from the east, i think this is what the ukraine is not doing. last act of desperation.

the turkish president has made his 1st public appearance after falling ill in recent days coming amid a fast approaching election. regina type early on attended an aerospace technology exhibition in istanbul, where he stood side by side with the leader of turkey as close ally azerbaijan. it comes after speculation of a deteriorating health condition after he had to pause an interview earlier in the week. a government official said mister tuan, separate from the brief stomach illness that has now became normal health. president of parliament reelections are scheduled to take place in the country in 2 weeks time. hybrid on also then took part in a video conference with his russian counterpart vladimir putin to north rate turkey . his 1st nuclear power plant was built by russia's state atomic energy company. russell. some of the ceremony russian and turkish floods were raised similar tenuously alongside a white flag symbolizing

a peaceful autumn ortiz. maria phenomena has more now on what had been the largest nuclear construction project in the world. and it's now official in the construction site of turkey as 1st nuclear power plant that you can see behind me got the status of nuclear facility. the 1st batch of atomic fuel arrived from russia and is currently in the storage. the ceremony is over. it will take some more time before it comes on line. the launch of the 1st a for reactor is a 3 beer he scheduled for 2025. turkey is joining the countries using clean nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. he is worth mister at the gun said about that. i was good. our power plant deserves the title of a strategic one. this project will undoubtedly help reduce our natural gas imports by $1500000000.00 per year, while increasing our national income, who had my report, and also joined the ceremony by a video praising the project, the biggest team, the history of russia to key a corporation i believe that he took

a positional after reaching full design capacity. the plants will be able to provide up to 10 percent of turkey as energy consumption, which would satisfying the energy needs of the growing turkish economy. moreover, the new nuclear power plant, and unlike traditional hydrocarbon fuel based plants will not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which will have a positive effect on the environment. sense. on thursday we heard a lot about how safe and powerful this future nuclear power plant will be. he's my report from the facility we are at the construction site of taking is 1st nuclear power plant. ask who you had a malicious multi $1000000000.00 join quadrant between an korean moscow. the biggest, the ever a, the 2 countries long history off corporation is also the largest nuclear construction site in the world. in terms of generation capacity and number of units been billed to symbol tennis claim, but also autumn state corporation generates about 20 percent of the total

electricity produced in russia and currently has an immense portfolio of international orders. $34.00 nuclear power units in 11 countries are under construction. i q. u is by far the biggest among them and truly unique when your goodness, but there are many unique things about this project wasn't all them. 3 of them was i will 1st of all look at this is the 1st bio project in the world. it is also turkey, 1st, such a project, right? and finally, an international team is working on its way. the operational staff will include both turkish and russian, special with amanda safety among the top priorities. as the deputy general director tells me the project meets all modern, so cold post fukushima requirements updated following the 2011 nuclear disaster in japan. how cool you is said to be resistance to earthquakes, tsunamis and even a plane crash. the military senior ponce, the earthquakes in turkey, haven't changed our plans. we haven't considered earthquakes measuring 9 on the magnitude scale. never seen here before. we've taken

a range of constructive decisions from and adopted our approach to equipment production. we considered shock waves, lane crashes blasting and natural disasters like tsunamis in the equipment production. for example, near the highest to not me wipe in the region was 7 meters soon. are protective structure is designed for 12 meters, all the post fuqua's, she matessa will ensure the plants operational safety, safe and powerful. the station will cover up to 10 percent of t as electricity needs, with green carbon free energy. i call you nuclear power plant will have or power units you can see them from here. the 1st one almost ready, number 23, and the 4th is barely visible. now, the works have started recently, russian generation free plus we after is, will be used here with a capacity of 1200 megawatts age. when it comes a line, the power plant will be able to generate power enough to provide electricity to a city the size of a stumble,

even before it could start lighten up big cities. the project has already given life to new towns and made little villages around the side grow, providing jobs to around 30000 people, and spurt and leisure infrastructure. the regions face has visibly changed with this economy boosted, but there is much more to come. the local mayor believes that took here and russia's decades long, strong working relationship, tested by many turbulent times, these key to success treatment. linda would never give up friends halfway of them to kill ups, russia, russia after kia. this project is one of the big history kit is working on in cooperation with its l. i let it osler the plant has been built in the countries mercy and province on the southern mediterranean coastline. traditionally, agricultural it's fruit and vegetable farms also expands to the regions grow in needs. market prices go up, making the business more profitable for local producers. people's fear is that

often surround nuclear projects around the world. a phenomenon known as radio phobia seem to find little supporters here. yasandra leonel, the pole plant is nearby, but we're not afraid why they are because this area is not earthquake programming. so i don't think the nuclear power plant poses any for adding that as you regions were chosen with the lowest risk of wakes, soon up, regional among and out here. so the location for the power plant is safe. reef national r t from turkey in i'm just staying with this story editor at large of the t. r t. world news. let's let you suffer unsafe energy independence is extremely important to ankara us is. it's relationship with moscow. be able to become energy independent is very, very important for turkey, the energy price that has created a huge burden on the current account deficit. so all these types of investments that shape money off the energy price tag $1.00 point by $1000000000.00 yearly

savings. ah, is we think to get in a new in higher li, i regarding energy and also just geopolitically as well. i think the turks have made it very clear that they don't really care how happier not of the like the western about its relationship. duke is a country that exercises strategic autonomy and that it's going to continue to have relationships that are in its interests and also a mutual interest with the partners that is trading in russia is a tremendously important trade partner to, to yet whether it be tourism, whether the agriculture, whether it be energy defense issues, but churches are rush is also an important partner in the international theater as well. the warring situation in sudan shows little signs of relenting. the conflict entered a 3rd week on saturday. ah . students there in the capital, running for shelter,

as the bloodshed continues. despite a renewed 70 to our troops in the northeast african nation, the fighting erupted on april 15th, between forces loyal to the country's army commander on those 2. as previous number 2, no head of the park military rapid support forces grouping. the latest truce was issued on thursday led by the u. s. saudi arabia, the african union on the u. n. n. was intended as a 1st step to bring some semblance of peace and security to the conflict written nation laws of now it hasn't worked and locals are currently struggling to gain access to even the most basic of needs. particularly water. some sudanese have even resorted to a long trek to the nile river to stalk off on the crucial source. one of those undertaking the journey told us about the fight or survive. i didn't know nothing about the i'm from the city of sham bought in,

marcia. all the residents of sham bought in nearby regions, such as shabby a come here to be supplied with drinking water from the water pumps that transports water directly from the nile. people line up carrying barrels and jerry cans to be filled with water. this is the only source of drinking water from the nile for citizens of sham bonding, the agricultural plane in the nile coast. gonna it is extremely difficult to get water through residential areas all the way down here. the area is very hazardous and there are sounds of gunfire and shelley, et cetera. she to why, despite these risks, people flock here to be provided with drinking water in the midst of bulletin shelves. we wish people safety hopefully that the situation goes back to what it was and security prevails again for people to be able to go on with their lives and get rid of that suffering foreign nationals who are continuing to try and find a way out of suit including boarding boat heading for saudi arabia, the coastal city of port saddam is the focal point. self departures. countries from

across the globe are evacuating embassy stuff. and so this is really by all means available. so just military transport planes from our field stuff reported to remain in the line of fire years are growing not a fully fledged several wars eminent with the fighting between the army and the part of military group. already having less than $500.00 civilians plus dead. well, the ongoing crisis has led not only to foreigners even, but of course many susan. these finding ways to escape to safety while lead, mac tra, fled to paris. he recounted the horrors witnessed and his home probably. and stop d, my house is not far away from the military base. or in the morning about a, a and i woke up with all day i was bullied everywhere. there is no. okay. i thought, you know, a lot of that is no. i live in

a lot of places. there is no food. there is babies here there's no most people. i saw a woman give their babies shy. born in the ground. i need the plan. will we have to bring all of the d. maxine, i'm one cup like into chess. you caught before i need to dream know what to do. how could, how could i am very, very far as my parent, my family, my neighbors, my eyes and i saw the look into it. my neighborhood, a child's 6 years old, 6 years old. his father died before 5 years. he's all he's along with his mother.

he's inside the home. he's playing or phone. what is? what was the child need your advice since i'm innocent people. my message. call me that, i don't mean you're the only see out of that you will very, very well we also spoke with was bus seem a former assistant to the egyptian foreign minister and current member of the un human rights committee. she said there should be an african solution to the sudan problem. here we find that they're presented to us to dine. yes.

today in the security council has sad to gather with the other countries as well. have agreed that the african union that this is an african issue should that need issue and has to be shown within the african let's say institutions and that the sudanese institutions have to be protected. i don't think that there is a desire on the part of this so that he is the african being on a line that too much internationally warming is trying to solve. the problems is ready, while of course, the issue of sudan has been already nationalized. but with this escalation, things that are, that things are becoming very sensitive and i think this would

then use within the african you have to be given the chance to try to stick together on the negotiate paper. it will be, i mean, for instance, we don't know how the united states is applying to india here, whether for assistance or for other purposes, for me that would lead to more aggravation of the situation. but yesterday, the permanent isn't that they did not really dwell much on the details of the initiative that you saying that they are waiting for. try to find the solution for the situation is with that, let's not forget that history has and that, that, that he need is that the u. s. a. western college and others

where very much in favor of creating sudan to sudan and south sudan. and today, both countries, more dates are setting it up to problems and divisions on both sides. the exam of the interference of and western powers and or international powers is not encouraging us to accept the order to repeat dick gates on monday, last, china celebrated its 7th annual space day with more than 200 events held as part of ceremonies, marking the country's accomplishments, and the great build in 1970 the 1st chinese south light dung fun hung one was sent to circle year. that's all china become the 2nd country in asia to have

a space program up to pump. the history of china been sending its citizens to orbit began in 2003. when ty cannot young at le way completed the nation's 1st flight into the cosmos on the show and you 5 spacecraft since then, beijing has conducted 10 mission. this is mars what we're looking up is the 1st color coded map of the red planet taken by china's chin when one spacecraft in the pictures you can make out small craters, ridges. i'm dunes on earth's most similar planet. incredible pictures. i think it was only 2 years ago by the way, when china landed a spacecraft on mars for the 1st time. well, while china has reached beyond africa is also delving further into space exploration . r t in fact, got a chance to talk to russian cause not surrogate could spurts golf in south africa.

he's there to show his own stellar experiences and possible advice to the future generation of intrepid travelers. the good thank you for your time. we really appreciate it, maybe if you can just start by telling us to the purpose of the field trip currently to south africa. now a member of the team that arrived in south africa as part of the project of association of russia, africa, economical corporation. so my goal is to communicate with students, make this space science and education more popular and i borrow them for future base. it is. do you remember your main fears when you were starting to prepare for your 1st flight? perhaps the main fear that cause enough enough to have is the fear that you

will never launch will never start will never fly. and you work as hard as you can to make your dream come true. and the main fear is to make a mistake. and the, and the guy that everybody remember, you know, but when we go there, there's almost no fears, but excitement and the extreme cook coat, awareness and concentration. how you manage to deal with those fears, to do with your fear. you have to work with that. every day, i mean, you have to be prepared if you, if you're afraid of something going wrong, you have to, you know, find the solution the in advance. so you always have to have

plan b and then plan, see if something goes wrong. we work like this, we always are trained for any extreme situation and when you're trained where the equipment is, will prepare. when your confident and your colleagues in techniques in the space techniques the 1st are gone. and what was your thought when you realized that you were eventually in space? when i arrived on the international stay in boston dimensional space station. and i, i got that the didn't come true that the, that the wark that i have been doing for years it brought me there. but of course it was like, i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the planet the saw the earth at the window.

it's beautiful and blue planet that we are flying above that. you know, i can transfer this emotions, but i that, that time i couldn't, i couldn't even speak when i was looking at the of the planet. and would you like to retain it? yes, of course. yes. i think every professional who work with in the space every, my colleague in any country, they want to be back and work again in space. if you will, offer you. but you need to go colonize other planners without the possibility of returning. would you agree to do that? i think people are moving towards the goal and because the humanity is always curious and we want to know what's there on another planets and we want to study them. but we have to remember that all the planets are hostile and the

environment is aggressive. so the only planet that where we can leave is exactly the earth. so even, even if you leave in the very, very center of the desert or a non particle and everywhere, it's better than leave on any planet in the, in this world, by the us. so we are curious, we are studying the in the this, we discovering greek flooring, the space, but the question when we will set the settlement on our plane is open and it depends on our efforts that we after. so we do to explore the space and i don't think it will be really soon. and just talking about goals, would you say that you have achieved your goal,

or is the more that you'd like to do in the space? perhaps. if i could say that i chief to the my, all of my own goals, i will probably never want to fly again because we worked for not for only for personal goals. of course, i've been space in my, my personal dream come true, but i want to bring new knowledge to the all the humanity. and of course, i'm ready to go again and making discoveries and the continuous space exploration. we have a lot of things to know about space in future, i believe. and all those young people looking at you in africa, in russia and every part of the world want to follow your lead and become astronauts. what would you say to them? believe in yourself and you know everything, every kid,

everything begins with dream with so that something you want something really significant and you make the dream, your goal. and when you have your goal, you do 1st steps. and of course, there are a lot of love obstacles in the future, but you have to go forward and that, you know, everything is impossible is possible. this is the main idea. because if you, if you, if you told me many is art interaction, ah, with

welcome to was a part. everything is true until it's false. that's the basic trajectory of scientific and social development playing out so dramatically in the world today. the american or western dream of prosperity based on excessive consumption and artificial assets is quickly losing its shine. but what is coming to replace it all to discuss that i'm now joined by oscar. got their chair at the oven economist and senior researcher at the institute of economic.
