exit from the us intelligence services of all of this. the defense department has welcome the president. is this decision to establish an independent inquiry to pro, but the allegations that so that's a can provided arms to russia, saying that to be inquiry will actually offer the departments and opportunity to ventilate side of the story. concrete evidence and deal with allegations of surrounding the purpose of such a visit in front of a competent office of the lu instead off of what you're currently dealing with, which is his say and speculation. the dummies must have of already been done. those some saying that to the find quite weird and strange that this situation has been made currency, especially considering the fact that it came 5 months after the image of incident. but i must say these assertions, so a sell off of the local, kind of see and so that we can government bonds as car is the trade is fear that to be nation could perhaps face wisdom sanctions. meanwhile,

analysts that economy is also off the same symptom. is saying that to the all, why were you to that's what africa could indeed face these you sanctions that have been fits as a city to the country, but over and above a possible, a goal or exclusion is also might also be on the table. what that means is that the u. s. could denies. so that took a billions of rounds of benefits, divide the applicant growth and opportunity access, bypassing the slow and very difficult process of imposing sanctions. if these are extremely serious accusations by the u. s. and could have serious ramifications for the slight african nation. the most powerful economies in the fractious trade, conflicts that threatens all the smaller economies of the world. the poor and marginalized are facing the greatest threat in that they apply to. so got to why the, my to fight the result has to be an increased economic risk, but the most vulnerable low growth levels and much of the glue and neglect of those

in the greatest need. this is all the world many hope for with the cold war in the speaking more generally, uh, no video before this, this accusation by the us. what was the current state of relations between washington and south africa? so the, so the africa refused to condemn the russian invasion of ukraine. western states that have been active more or less publicly, on pressuring the so that we can government to speak up against the war. and so the african government has been very adamant in what it stands for and the kind of stands it has taken effect. so africa has been under a lot of pressure from different sides, trying to maintain its relationship addresses despite the width is a pressure, not both nations, russia and still africa, all cooperating and bricks. and this poses a real fates towards the us hedge a movie. as more and more countries, i'm moving away from washington,

his group on current phase. so most of all that's exactly we saw africa stands with washington coventry all the time down on the orthodox church and ukraine does continue. so russia even convened an informal un security council meeting to discuss the ongoing persecution situation, dates back, at least to the might on coo of 2014. that's according to rush with envoy to the organization. who is a good one. it blows yet. don't be wishing movies. are you long? yes, you've turned a blind eye to the crimes that the key of regime against these are the citizens of the don't bass. and for some reason you didn't care told about the disruption of the peaceful lives of those innocent people. a good union, the persecution of the crate and orthodox church did not starting february 2022. this campaign has been systematically prosecuted by the king of regime, at least since 2014 the dates of the crew to tar in ukraine. now it's become a real, may have the twenty's,

not in the form of west and colleagues is called on ukraine to respect religious freedoms. unfortunately, some of you simply do not understand or do not want to understand the meaning of what is happening and what kind of persecution of the old adults in ukraine is now being carried out with the full support cannot events and the highest of the current key of authorities. let's learn more here on the program now closing live to new york. and there is of course, one that caleb both interested by what 8 minutes plus 1 pm where you are in the big apple. caleb. so bring us some of the highlights of what, what some of the country a today sure will rush it called a meeting of the un security council to address the ongoing issue of the persecution and mistreatment of the ukrainian orthodox church. now at the meeting, they highlighted the fact that there have been raids on russian orthodox are you creating orthodox churches? there have been situations where the churches are being searched for evidence of treason. there are 6 regions in ukraine, the outright band,

the ukranian orthodox church, and there have been a number of about priests and bishops that had been charged with the trees in or sedition or been arrested. there were witness testimonies that were brought forward by russia to the security council. this is one of the witness testimonies that was heard. meaning is yeah, loved. and you said you guys will get it done so well. i've been stripped of my ukrainian citizenship twice, not for my political views, but for my orthodox religion. because today the orthodox church is persecuted in ukraine. by all means. the constitution is violated. the courtney laws violated the close churches beat up until priest desecrate sanctuaries and take dogs into monasteries. they tear down and dance on pictures by little children, drawings of dogs, and words of peace. there are thousands of such cases of the church being humiliated and the se,

technically godless regime covers it all up to any sensitive. now the western members of the security council did not seem interested in listening to what the witnesses had to say or the evidence that russia was presenting the us the u. k. malta in switzerland. uh all sorts of podium and took the floor of the meeting. essentially accusing russia of using this meeting to distort reality, to distract attention from the war and the ongoing crisis in ukraine, which they blame on russia. now here's what we heard from some of the western voices on the security council for switzerland condemns the recent supply, compression, and tax on numerous ukrainian regions. we've shown by the information the dozens of civilians and ukraine, a dead and wounded, also good reports of atrocities there. regarding the freedom of religion, switzerland stands against the spreading of hateful rhetoric wise or religious discrimination. the. the facts on the ground do speak for themselves,

a number of basically all opposition parties and ukraine have been outlaw to any individual expressing sympathy for russia or opposition to the and pro nato antagonism is going on in the country has been arrested. a number of journalists have been arrested and detained ukraine is anything but a shining example of human rights and democracy and freedom, and the persecution that the ukrainian orthodox churches facing the outright hatred that's being whipped up against them is pretty extreme. now let's look at some of what's going on in the country that no one came to not the

african countries represented currently on the security council, mozambique, bon and donna. they expressed a concern stating that it's very important to stop religious conflict, religious hatred, and violence. and that, that would only intensive by the problems facing ukraine and the, you know, week in the hopes were resolving the conflict. but overall, it seemed western leaders. we're just not interested in the realities that russia is presenting about the government that nato is fully backing. they did not want to acknowledge the realities and they just simply wanted to continue demonizing russia and blaming the entire conflict in the entire situation on russia. this is why we the latest from the u. n. s. meeting this afternoon in new york. caleb martin, thank you. that's getting out to the latest from the middle east by the israeli army size. it has a hit is logic. she had facilities in gauze there including it's

a come on center. the from on the of the medicine group was reported to being killed in the strike. so you cannot afford and the local media and more than $900.00 is ready. rockets have been launched at the gaza since tuesday. this week. i submit a deadly exchange of 5 being reported between israeli and palestinian forces. that's got the details now here's, i'm at least correspondent i'm or if an ocean i didn't are always seen in his loving jihad, militants, grove, based in the stripped has reopened to fire a long can records to israel, southern communities, and targeting major cities in israel, south end for the 1st time in this current round of hostilities, rockers have also been sense to jerusalem. and nearby we being in the western part of the c t, have heard for big booms. we hear reports that is real used, it's air defense system known as david sling wheel latch, that's their walk and have been intercepted and that was the sound that we have

heard. no casualties have yet been reported to it has a response. east road has retaliated targeting strategic locations belonging to palestinian islamic jihad subjection guitar. really, who mediators continue to put pressure on both sides to the end has to which these earlier egypt, jordan friends and germany released a joint statements calling for an immediate cease fire. but as far as we can hear, and we can understand so far, no agreement has been reached. no break for has been achieved. uh, actually both sides evolving to continue until the goals are to israel. ones published and is wanting to had to stop launching rockets while p i. j says a one stop unless israel stops killing their people in 3 days, all of shields in error operation in gaza. 5 top military commanders within the p, i. j were eliminated by israel, including those responsible for directing attacks, all fraud, the west bank,

quite significant figures. k j is definitely shaking and they want this to stop and wages me. they were all so we sent their reports that israel withdrew from peace talks right now. but addiction source is close to these prices. media 18 they go. she ation is a told archie that they can not confirm this information. adding though that is real now is movies, it was preparing this mesa kenneth response to pages recent activity rather than negotiating with them. we have casualties rising from both sides. according to palestinian house ministry, a total of $31.00. people have been killed in gasoline 3 days off shield an arrow operation, including 6 children and 3 women in the most recent reports. israel confirmed for change civilian deaths before that, they have been claiming that most of those who a killed were militants. and from these rarely side, one person died off to a rock and launched from gaza heat,

a residential building in these really central c t. all of the have all, but i have to say that around 100 other people have been wounded including in gas and halt hospitals their industry bi limits when it comes to equipment and medications. so it is a very, very difficult situation as into that israel has just recently decided to stop the transfer of fuel and all goods through crossings into gaza. and that's definitely affected the worth of hospitals there. i caught a post here and most of the, one of the main presidential candidates in philadelphia has withdrawn from the race just days before the country goes to the pulse. i am withdrawing from the candidacy . i'm doing this for my country. i propose the 3rd option for turkey. i said neither from the right nor the left, but from the path of attitude. i tried to open a channel, but we couldn't succeed. we just couldn't,

it took advantage. and he told me is very bad inflation. and all the other part that he, he may have at last the impact on those living spirally, south africa, and those some spilled dream about going back to dead deer as laws resting flakes. they have a growing number of young people who see the place more rooted here in africa than they do in the old mediterranean country. and this most remains the last link to the homeless government has a lot of key drivers. but right now where we do the conflict in don't bass, where a massive fire has broken out, an abandoned factory and new guns gets out of their series. what tax on the city and other regions?

we understand right now, no casualties reported the rocket stripes for a set to have been launched from a 150 meters away. excuse me, i beg your pardon, a 150 kilometers away. very big different, sir. i beg your pardon. the city of don't yet scanned the village. all we have seen of best buy. i have also being the target of ukrainian shelling and another attack left one civilian dead and several wound didn't go to love the city center on the so let's get this report now from the ground with romano customer. the one civilian was killed and another 8 were wounded as the results of ukrainian artillery attack . here in gore left not far away from the net, this is the point of impact of ukraine in multiple launch rockets systems. now, this is a purely residential area all around me. are apartment buildings, not a single minutes every position inside the man who was killed, he was standing on his balcony during this strike. according to the neighbors,

his legs was sore and off immediately. he was then promptly taken to the hospital where a doctors were fighting for his life. however, he died on an operating table. yep. well, let's see. we'll get it. i'm completely sure the understand where the shows, how land in one house close to mine has been shelter. and another one. it's a residential area on the citizens leave here. there are no military facilities here. now this is yet another proof that the ukranian nationalists are firing indiscriminately against civilian areas here and go look at this is a central, very busy streets in the city. and uh, this is just one of the houses that was uh, targeted by ukrainian or jewelry. like i said earlier, as the result, a people were ones that and one person was killed right now. hello, go maintenance services. trying to get everything they can in order to fix these

buildings. however, as you can see, the city continues to live and continues to hold that these indiscriminate shutting spite ukrainian nationalist will finally stop the petition, need you to for 9 years done. bass has been in a ferocious for our civilians, suffer from blast wounds with subsequent amputations. many of them have become disabled for the rest of their lives as a criminal regimes. so many children have come to our hospitals throughout this year, severely wounded or disabled. and with psychological trauma, they cry at night, there's no excuse for these atrocities. over the last 24 hours, at least, 20 civilians were wounded, has the result of ukrainian artillery selling, and one person was killed. now this is the number for the inside as and as people's republic. most of those people who were injured by ukrainian shells came from goal of cause. this is a hospital here in the goal of the treated most of those

patients, vermont cost for m r t. the next group public your vision organizes. i've refused to request by the ukranian president to address the song contest, saying it will be against the event roots. that's according to the european broadcasting union, which hosts as a huge, really popular competition. the eurovision song contest is an international entertainment show and governed by strict rules and principles which has been established since it's gratian. spite of this, one of the cornerstones of the contest is the non political nature will be event. the request by mrs. lensky to address the audience and the regents on contest was to meet with loadable intentions. regrettably can not be crowded by the european broadcasting union management, as it would be against the rules of the event by your version 2023 is being hosted by the u. k, but on behalf of ukraine, a key to enter into trial and last year and tradition dictates the window hosts the

next event. despite the countries role it's president will not be granted at time. although i was not to me is that isaac is office, has denied that he even ask the organizers if he could address the audience. so it's not really the 1st time the ukrainian latest been rejected to speak at a major event. organizers of the oscar has turned on a request last year, a fee for also refused to allow him to speak virtually at the world cup final. in canada. we spoke with a political commentator always on brick wall, who believes that the western audiences perhaps, might be growing tired of seeing the president addressing non political events. people realize that these are, these are called the on some things and that, and they don't want to have this end as well. they thing so many people are fed up with the, the leads are still in therapy enthusiastic for these, well, especially the input, the, with the, you know, the holding class and including so go left like the guardian. i think it'd be better if it definitely 10 being a new saying somebody, but i filled up. i mean,

some people still believe in the, in the only for the phase. i mean that the, he's the new, the new role in the new job to, you know, whatever somebody was a there is that isn't because i've been that he's lying and the, the chain was based on the, on the back of lies. and because me, so present with such a is as being thinking and doing it to upon some people just for definitely to man don't run into otters levied against him off. and he was detained on imagine what will happen and they have, we faced the police take a gas, we have a coughing with us. this is our country and all me, we respect them. the pdf bruning. eliza tried to start a fight between us and the institutions. let me make it clear in my income has not trained us to find our own people or if they release him, that'll be good for practiced on him or on. han is our man to lead. pack is done in the right direction. if they don't release him, then you have seen what happened recently just give us all. 1 of if we talk about today's proceeding, it was him run collins day. he was grunted baleful 7 cases,

3 in the holding 4 and this slam about including the out today university trust case. the court declared that if there was another secret case registered by the all sorts east, now they come to arrest him in any other case. in the 3 cases in the whole, the co grunted protective fail until monday. him run call and we'll have to appear in the court in the whole. somebody will confirmation the quotes or to deal socrates not to arrest him, run tom over the full cases registered in his lemma, but before next wednesday. so at the multi will, excuse me, the multi potable others that continues to blossom have a look at this. iran, believe it on all is been hosting representatives from dozens of countries to support ties and long in belgium economies. i guess it's just a pretty, very often that you hear about tear on hosting an international summit. a senior government officials, military shapes and sizes evolving, taking part of this conference, and it is aimed at developing. what did i say earlier? that of the multi polar world order. so here's a reporting from tyrone aussies, yusef as the world is moving further away from the us dominated unipolar world

order, it well says and emerging new architecture is taking shape. when the u. s. will not be this old world power here at this conference. the new multi point of world geometry to one is hosting an official as an analyst to show in a large that'd be unprecedented. new developments that are changing the world state and military officials as well as commentators from 36 countries have conveyed for the 2nd day. you want to share their views on the unfolding multiple that already that is weakening washington script and the global community life of the americans go to u k. then say, let's expand that though. later. i mean the, the degrees or, of course, the world is the beginning, most dakota and it's a good thing. but of course it has to be, it has to become an older. and this means that the united nations wins in, for instance, should be that that's what lots for bathroom will be going to organize this room. this is where a conference like this is,

is useful. and we can see that regional power, like we all is trying to, to gather the people of the middle east to around experts say the onset of the russian ukrainian conflict has rapidly re shape, global and regional equations. what it's repercussions torturing to it cannot make political and security spheres. having borne the brunt of the ukraine conflict, europe is also reconsidering good stars with the u. s. you didn't need to go and, and, and hide behind the, it's the, the american, the, all me come on the weekends bill to strong you, be independent. russia is, is, is, i'm a but come on in the future. how can you work with the washer? one of the outcomes of the world's geopolitical transformation is the historic china mediated peace deal between the want and saw the rab. yeah. that ended 7 years of hostility between the former, our tribals on thursday reopen, introduced its new investor to debt, runs following the china brock heard and want to install the dates on the syria.

civil war has come as close as ever to and i just saw the.
