the ah ah, to ukrainian drug target the criminal moscow is called an attempt fascination of vladimir putin. the russian president was not inside his residence during the strike, which was repelled by electronic defenses. schedule remained unchanged according to his folks. and as k, a denies responsibility for the attack clement phase, russia with tanks of wine to retaliate at any time. and these who's very welcome. this is all the international with the very latest news updates good to happy with. the top story this our, the criminal phase ukraine launched rose drive from the moscow residence of

president putin in the early hours of wednesday. russian official fe to drones with downs by electronic ad defenses inside the criminal walls, with no casualties or damage on the ground, is video a power he shows one of the drones exploiting wife had both to sit at building which houses not to be a huge ins office, he was not inside the building during the attack. moscow is labeled it a terrorist act. the enter, the 10 to the fascination of the russian president. the kremlin, added that russia reserves the wind to take retaliatory measures where and when he sees fit. however, ukrainian officials of play may know nothing about the attack and deny any responsibility. rather, ms. lewinsky has said that ukraine doesn't target putin know why should but his waging defensive war. his all senior war correspondent, more gas, the reporting from the ambassador guns for public. while things on the frontline are as tents as can be, as we speak hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of comb with had soldiers troops.

i've gathered across the front line almost a 1000 kilometers. we're talking about an immense amount of firepower, thousands again and thousands of tags of artillery pieces. 5 of various various aerial assets of some jets helicopters, station the on both sides. ukraine that no secret that despite the morling its air force has received a has received much more support from the west. and we're talking here about the old soviet helicopters, mig 29 jets for poland and other countries. so certainly thinks he already pause for the storm that is about to descend with ukraine's counter offensive. it will be an incredibly bloody affair. we've, you know, we've spoken and we've heard from various officials, for example, the head of p. m t wagner. the private military company has said that he believes the ukrainian counterfeits of his already begun. yes. ship,

i believe that the ukrainian armies offensive has already in fact the gun. we're seeing the most intense activity from enemy aircraft on the perimeter and inside our front. at the same time, while we are in control of our front insight. unfortunately, the situation on the perimeter doesn't look great. i won't comment on how secure flanks are out of politeness. the enemy has also become more active beyond the historical borders of ukraine in the russian federation. we can see the situation in various areas, trains, drones, and sir on. i believe that all this has already started. things will end to the active phase in the near future. in a matter of days, perhaps mother you could do, you can, you government has demonstrated to these p are desperate. it has say, you know, e, it has struck previously at marson cities across the board and said, look, we can strike into russia. never mind that that they struck at civilian neighbourhood . sloane strewn that electrical substations leaving military targets, untouched cause a year, inconvenience that to thousands,

but also killing and killing civilians. dozens and dozens of civilians injuring hundreds across the border in russia and various villages there the countryside. we've also seen the the terror attacks against russian journalists and activists. for example, the murder of 2 prominent journalists in russia itself. what in the car bombing, one in a cafe bombing, just recently in st. petersburg, we were there in kev song. we're an american supplied hi mas miss. how struck the hotel we were staying and altogether inactivity to the former ukrainian parliamentary, who was also staying at the hotel. no new soldiers around us. but again, after every incident that they, they eat flies around the world, it's headlines around the world. and you can estimate sponsors look we're, we're taking action, we've done this, we've done, we've done that. so certainly this will be used domestically, especially by ukraine. but again, there's a huge risk of, of escalation. but again,

presidency landscape are now on a torn infinity and planning to travel. perhaps the gemini, or somewhere else in europe next, has come out and said that the counter offensive is about to begin and he hopes the gained by it. why am i sure that we will get jets because sooner will take offense affections after that? i'm sure there will give us planes. i would like it to be the other way around, but it is what it is. as i said, the, the history of this conflict since day one has been escalation after escalation. we heard that 1st, you know, various western nations native states reluctant. the said, the artillery pieces to you can, will leave the late so that resistance crumbled will was crushed by other members of a, of nasal that they sent tags. then they said jets. now they're planning on sending f $16.00 oh, $5.00 obama's from the from the united states. it is either incredibly dangerous times over the past year. it has only gotten much more dangerous investigative

journalist alex rubinstein, who published an article on ukraine's drones trying against ross such as the day before the attack on the kremlin told us that keith is resorting to terrorist tactics because it's failing to win the conflict on the battlefield well, even besides the article that i published, i tweeted yesterday ah, noting the increase in not just a tax by drawn strapped with sometimes western made see for explosives, but also on the car bombing of daria do. geena the remote destination ah, in st. petersburg at a public event. these are the kinds of tactics that ukraine is resorting to because they're not winning in a conventional sense of, of conventional warfare. i'm so they're resorting to terrorism, of course, in washington. this is called merely hybrid warfare, but it shows, ah,

the desperation of the ukrainian government. um, and i think that as the alleged spring offensive is um what will will flounder. we're going to see an even more of these kinds of attempted assassinations and i, blay, and terrorist acts. washington has washed his hands off the drone attack on the kremlin. if us officials claim they don't know what really happened with our 1000 america is stepping up its military support for ukraine, despite the risk of a big conflict with russia. here's the latest statement on that from the white house spokes person. you've been very clear, i mean, we just were about to announce another another critical security assistance to, to ukraine. i think that shows our commitment, and we have been very clear that we will support ukraine as they defend their country against russia's invasion. they will and that will continue,

that will not stop. and again, we're, we're announcing a security assistance, i think that shows how, how much we are committed to them fighting for their freedom, fighting the cranium, people fighting for their democracy. and so we've been very clear in not just security assistance and humanitarian aid and economic aid, and that will continue from here. well, we've heard in addition to what we just heard there from the white house press secretary in the white house spokesperson, we've also heard from antony blanket the u. s. secretary of state and well, he did not indicate and that the united states had no prior knowledge of this attack. and he certainly did not indicate the united states was endorsing the action. he gave a kind of bland statement that didn't seem to really come down this very dangerous escalation. here's what we heard from anthony blanca, as i said. and as we said, when it comes to ukraine, which is under daily assault. and not just, it's incredibly courageous military forces, but it citizens, its men,

women and children being assaulted daily basis by this russian aggression being bombed out of their homes, their apartments and their streets. children killed, families torn apart. well, we leave it to ukraine to decide how it's going to defend itself and how it's going to try to get back the territory. now, united states is already supplied billions and billions of dollars worth of weapons and others support to the government. and throughout the process, the united states, putting more and more military aid, more and more deadly weapon war and more dangerous missiles into russia has repeatedly pointed out that it appears the united states is enabling the government to attack russia and to attack russian territory. and we've heard numerous times us officials that that is not the case if they are not enabling or encouraging your

brain attack russian territory. here's some of the dialogue around this issue. we heard in prior months. we have not provided ukraine with weapons. that is to use inside of russia. we've been very clear that these are defensive supplies. we have neither encouraged nor enabled the ukrainians to strike inside of russia. i can say definitively that the notion of the u. s. providing intelligence or information to the ukrainians to target locations inside russia is nonsense. we are not at war with russia, nor do we seek war with russia. now the world is very aware of what just took place and the recent attack. so this can be pointed to as yet another example of the words of us leaders not matching their actions independently. does journalists, sonya vander lender has speculated the ukraine security agency,

the f. b. you could have carried out the criminal talk with direct support from western allies. is done by the s b u in cooperation with nato, with the western powers. because if you read newspapers or so, newspapers, magazines, if you see that the many leaders and newspapers say in the phone, the, the best thing to do is to assess the president. for sure it will be re tell you this is also what the kremlin says. so, and we all know that there are no hyping update. okay, we have now and all senses. and yes, can you look into that today to the fancy actually is already taking place counter offenses. so if they are behind the attack, what most likely would be the case they are taking inside russia. so that's not the sending it. so defending itself means you are what you can use it being that ukraine you are defending ukraine. so

a lot inside actually another country and syria, the 1st visit of an iranian president to damascus since 2011 again on wednesday. as the leaders of both countries met for talks, local media have called it a historic event that reinforces already solid time between the middle east and nations. irradiate president abraham bracy who's in syria for 2 days, noted that western sanctions against the country has sales or the around the mosque as partnership. some strong syria neither basha, alice san, thank the wrongful the strong support is being providing to syria. since the outbreak of war that in 2011 the correspondent use of to largely has the details of the iranian presidents landmark visit. it was a busy day for iran president brought him res. yes. he's on a 2 day trip to syria. it's the 1st trip to syria, viner, ronnie, and president of cents over a decade ago. and since the start of the civil war in the country back in 2011,

before he left chevron for the mascot, every bracy hope that his trip would be productive for both nation. well. and he seems to have had a lot on his plate on the 1st day iraq, on his 1st working day by paying a visit to the holy shrine of zane hind revered religious figure in his mom, where he also did over the speech. you said during his speech he said, and he reiterated, it was firm support for serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. he sat down while he was good. why did you re a nation during the times of difficulties and hardships you want continues to support the syrian nations and the syrian people during the reconstruction period? well, earlier in the day, the 2 countries under and the 2 sides signed a long term strategic comprehensive cooperation agreement. no further details have so far surface of the agreement,

but the 2 sides said that this strategic agreement age to serve the interests of the syrian people. and the iranian people. and the region in general, was from the to science also signed 14 cooperation documents in a range of like oil and gas energy id communications, banking sector, and also earthquake release. well, the serial president bashar assad. thank iran for it's quote, unwavering support for syria. a south said that since 12 years ago, iran has not left syria behind, despite all of the sanctions and the threats received trip is widely seen as another piece in the unfolding, new chapter that witness a significant decline. the role played by the extra ritual countries such as the united states. so this new multiple polar world is now emerging and has, has reduced the influence of the extra original countries like washington. as we

see that the region is starting to take matters into its own hands. already in political adolescent academic side, mohammed mirandi says damascus until long reaching a new level of cooperation for a common course. iran and syria have been very close for the last 4 decades for over 4 decades. syria refused to side with saddam hussein when he carried out aggression against iran. syria was one of the few countries to stand up against saddam hussein's aggression when western country and others were supporting him. on the other hand, when the dirty war was engaged or initiated by nato in its allies against syria, iran stood with syria. and now the 2 sides being allies and so closely linked with one another and due to the fact that they trust

one another. the ability for the 2 sides to expand that cooperation to the economic field is it, is, it is quite easy because of that trust the both sides have neglected in the past, the economic aspect of the relationship. there were economic relations, but not to the degree that would have brought about major change in the economic prospects of syria. and that would have also enhance the economy of iran significantly. but now the 2 leaders are working to rectify that aspect of the bilateral relationship as the globe mark world press freedom day. the u. s. department has launched a program to assist select journalists exclusively outside the us, the administrator for the nation's agency for international development. samantha power is addressed the media on the topic. we recognize the importance as the

governance means of having free media doing their work all around the world, and we try to support it as the united states. the program called reporter shield aims to provide legal assistance and coverage of court expenses for journalists outside the us. you may be targeted by the government's eligible media. outlets must pay an annual fee to be supported and meet certain criteria. however, it's launch a spark. the polarizing reaction among americans excellent new opportunity for julian assange and wiki leaks to apply for us funding to help their media organisation survive. lothair from the u. s. government journalism must be defended from legal threats, meant to silence critical voices instead of championing free speech. the u. s. actively persecutes journalists and whistleblowers. all pardon brave truth tellers like julian assange and investigate the corruption in crimes they expose its only

okay to imprison journalists when the u. s. government, does it free? a staunch and we must also protect the journalists who provide be platform for the visual blurs to tell us what's really going on. so that we don't think, you know, we don't misunderstand that richard in america went to afghanistan to liberate the women, or britain and america went to iraq to protect the people from them. who said no britain in america were involved in, in legal wars. just as you maybe, you know, you come from a country where you're concerned about the legal wars. we must all be opposed to illegal wars. we're all really civilians killed in vast numbers. and the people who are profiting companies are the weapons manufacturers. and the very wealthy people who have investments listing and this is not good for ordinary

people, and most of these people are struggling to survive. and our government and our leaders should be focusing on making sure that people have enough to eat, that they have decent health care that they have a good quality of life. this should be especially in the developed countries, we shouldn't be using our energy to can poor people in the world. and that's really important. so it's important to speak about these things and you know, the junior is in prison for telling the truth about god carnival where 780 old mostly men and boys as young as 14, were held for years without trial of charge. at the same time julian songs, one of the most well known news publishers in the world is facing over 175 years in an american prison as soldiers, the founder of the wicked lakes website, which released classified information regarding us war crimes in iraq and

afghanistan, thus, as us regulate because on the european counts, pause, wage war against the russian media. r. t. sputnik and other russian media outlets have been found in the us and europe since the start of ukraine conflict last year . american officials have underlines the importance of fighting so called russian propaganda urging the shut down of such channels around the world is what the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman had to say about the u. s. treatment of world press freedom de lake in the pasco, get not me. i could just miss just some kind of more cree, honestly the united nations to general assembly this out of may freedom of the press. you nestor, drawing the attention to the problem and all these down and the refusal to issue these is to russian generalise who are sent to the united nations. all these am and many as of harassments, of one of the world's leading investigative journalists, jan and sons. with all this against any media which doesn't fit into the global tram, that unites a number of media representatives of the collective who don't fit

a black towel to address out past the q said juliana. the something that the u. s. government cannot leap with and that is exposing that is remove the mask so, so i don't think there is enough detail. you're not in the world that are the united states will accept in exchange for you the size because they're they, they can be crusade against julian because of the young. because beyond anything that has to do, he, he faces 175 years under this act. in the united states for a while for, for publishing information that needed to be published for say in fact that needed to be said for showing the world what the us us troops were doing the need i can understand. and these, these, these, these completely on baled a what the us war machine was doing and how it was being heat and how we was

completed with the, with the, with the media, with mr. media how western media hasn't been completed with, with a hiring these from, from, from the public because they need to maintain a quote unquote rules based order that a tory of us national security agency spied on to a former top french politicians during that time in office of according to one of them, functional field who says nicholas saw because he was also why a tucked by the n s a few years. the is also economy. we for interference. yes, i encounter that most of the time. it came from a friend, an allied country, the united states residence there because he and i were eaves dropped on for 5 years by then a say for french prime minister for flexion is one of several people of all different political strikes who are testifying this parliamentary inquiry into foreign interference in french affairs, and he was likely summons because he went into international business consulting after he left office like former u. k. prime minister, tony blair,

and others have done leveraging their experience and connections for profit. and in that capacity, he landed on the board of 2 russian companies, the bure, that bish ness. now those appointments came after he left public office and went into private business and feel told the commission that russia never tried to influence him when he was prime minister. so he said, hey, look like all right, powers, russia try to quote a certain point of view when the thing is, they say it's because of their for cations are not aimed at establishing b, b, c report referred point is not the 1st time with the media out does have made such dubious claims about the nord stream case. while some reports had initially tried to blame russia for blowing not blowing up its own pipelines, other publications, they to focus on a mysterious pro ukrainian group. with all of these late allegations have so far failed to hold. any water, however pulitzer prize winning seymour hersh, has alleged that the us military was responsible for the old stream bombing.

according to his report last june. u. s. navy special forces divers placed explosives on the pipelines which was remotely designated by norwegian plain in september. the operation was reportedly ordered by us president joe biden himself and orchestrated by the state department officials who had allegedly been trying the attack since december 2021 months before russia began. it's operation in ukraine economist on publishing ica. harm as seems to be b, c's latest report is apparent, again to distract the public from the revelations by seymour hersh. whatever was discussed afterwards in my opinion, is to mislead from the story that my hash in detail did. and what they now try is trying to distract the people by putting out some new possible people who could have done this to not to mention that it was yes,

the funny thing is when they started the investigations who could have done this trim to pipeline terror attack, they openly said from the beginning that there will be no investigation against the us when they come up with a story, then it is somehow in the interest of british politics or british of british officials to mislead somehow it doesn't make sense at all for the russians to blow up the old pipeline because all they have to do is just shut the pipeline and don't send any gas if they don't want to supply germany with gas and more. hey, thanks for joining us. hey, all nazi international will be back with more of the latest in 30 minutes with you all martini. he had his little philosophy about

a bill, lad. i used to, but how much more? a month to but i used to a 19 day revolution. forget about the solution. this is only very shallow understanding of thing. they were there for a very long time channel or something. if you stamp history, we went to my 3, i'll 3 k is terrible. even if you mattie a cannot get a call to die. the most 20, even even macy's, who did it with a journalist, the channel. what i mean from okay it's, it's a very quick work of trying to get them to understand how to distribute flyers without being cooked. how to write graffiti was being caught formations like time limits. there

are like random moves that a lot of these things and then how you can start verbally on that date and where to go. we could eat sexually. vailable. well yeah, if you want to mean committee can eat g a g to a base in a.
