well to get an idea of what's going on there right now we're going to cross live to archie, contributor nicolay, your rich not now nickel or what's the latest you can tell us on the developing situation in kosovo. ok, so basically the so called costs of police forces and pay for that as they thought as being present on $3.00 and for several days already. guarding the building states and by force on friday, 4 days ago. basically today, a local service gathered to protest, think one thing then to go out those do things and to uh, negotiate. so i'm kind of uh, agreements they don't, they don't want to be drunk. so they send in more troops tools separate because the police from the service gathering the wrong. and so they are around 5 pm, serbian time made to that is k for $0.04 and possibly supports us. some of them is restart the shipping service and building them up and trying to break them apart

because they didn't want to be a drawer. and the serbian political representatives negotiated with the k 4 forces and they said that the service must be drawn either. otherwise they will separate them by force and they did so the 1st the tech was over about then half an hour ago . and by a late this information that we have a new one is beginning, as we speak, there being more and more forces every every minute basically. and the, the suggestion is a box to escalate even further by the latest information from the hospitals. if these 3 people are wounded by the gunshots, one of them is even in critical condition and they're fighting for his life. and 2 people are also severely wounded. over. besides that, there are tons of people wanted to buy your gas by clubs and beat them up and some of them, some of them are even stab to get some kind of object spike that came from forces.

so they're all over the, some, tens of thousands of people. and of course the situation is, as i said, going get toward the 3rd to escalation. and that's the explanation because of i decide is willing to stand by the moment and the classes are on the way as we speak . basically, our team contributor, nickel yogurt, is thanks for bringing us those details from belgrade, syria. now we're also going to cross live to a deep a political analyst, alexander prophets, who is going to give us some more insight into what's going on here is joining us also live from belgrade. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. once again, what's your reaction to these latest classes? what do you think about them? they were to be expected of the so called prime minister of coastal housing for days as then study, escalating the situation in cost of law for the last 2 years or so. uh, without any sort of uh, sanction,

or any sort of opposition from anyone from the west, especially the e. u for supposed to be the uh, the quote supposed to be over seeing the negotiations uh, between delaware increase to not a so the west has actually been encouraging quote to, to make unilateral moves uh as quickly moves. and as a result, these keeps felt encouraged to practically militarily occupying the northwest possible, which is more than about 97 percent or 90 percent search. and here we are. and this all started 11 years ago when the so called brussels agreement was signed between don't read and please do not. it's very similar to what happened with the minister agreement, except to downgrade authorities made a huge mistake in making your unilateral models on their parts to full. so they're part of the rena. as a result, the service is not possible who to defend themselves pretty well. the

entire time, they were pretty much demilitarized, they were forced to integrate themselves into police tonight institutions. as a result, they didn't love defenseless, so they'll grade being very night, or even worse, may be made it possible for quality to just escalate the situation. and he has the clear support of not only the do you, but of nato as well, which is obvious today because both the court case the cost of all day and police and the case for which is natal. they're both the attorney violence doing both turning their gums and their violence towards the local service. well, obviously we're talking about nato led forces here. but what kind of reaction do you expect from the european union and the west in general, in the, in the united states and connection to this. what we're seeing the reaction today so far on, you know, they've been verbally calling current to, to the court, the,

to the prime minister's a so called costs old for restraint. but he has totally ignored them. but they haven't done anything to reinforce their words with the so you know the reaction today or the ok for which is natal, as you said, to join every the cost of all special forces in uh, y, when we suppressing the peaceful civilian demonstrators all service in the north of costs are also so far new going to warranty you are actually on the side of violence. so i'll be named special police forces beating up uh serv. civilians a well president votes, which has been proud of maintaining an independent foreign policy, keeping a balance between relations with russia and a you will use. do you think that he's going to be able to maintain that? especially under such pressure right now it's, it's becoming much streaming,

difficult for him to maintain that. uh, you know, he's had, we've had huge demonstrations in belgrade over the past months. ever since we've had these mass to mass shootings at the beginning of the month. and of course, demonstrators, you know, each week they're getting bigger and bigger demonstrations. and it's not just the violence that happened and all, but many people are very unhappy with what's happening possible. and they're also blaming which is for the to pro western oriented because obviously the west is not on our side, they're not being down stairs clearly and the audience side. so more more questions are going to be post. i mean, well, what are we, what a survey are getting, please wait for these with this balanced policy. you know, the balancing between east and west, obviously these, this, the only one supporting the territorial integrity i'll certainly, i'm not just the global south, practically everyone. most country,

most of the country in the world, the most of the world populations. so of course, the pressure of political pressure on which is just going to grow for him to do something, especially because k for an age or acting like an occupying force now and costs a lot. they're not acting as a sort of a piece of piece, contingent or, or, or like, you know, a piece broke or they're not neutral. that's more than obvious. so it's going to be very, very good, simple. so what just to defense as policy? what's talking with what's it's here, what do you think about what he said about the cost of all liter seeking to become the news? a lensky? what do you think he means by this and what? what could it mean for the region? what she means is that he will, she's getting the green light just like the last you got a green light to totally suppress, ultimately surprised the russian population in ukraine court. he's getting a green light from the west to totally suppress and persecute to search said the

orthodox population. impossible. and obviously courteous being allowed to do that just like the last few days allowed to do that a new credit and so that's a good parallel. but of course, is that keeps it if it goes on. uh, you know, if, if uh, the downgrade can't just, uh, stand with his hands on its side or to long take up. somebody's gonna have to do something, eat the dean of the deal, sorties, and don't they just can't keep. ready watching the wrong people being persecuted at, shot at, you know, being stripped of all the rights. so, you know, it could make it very well. this is the same tactic use with, uh, olga, i guess russia to is a lot of ski meaning to draw all russia into the war to defend 0 population and ukraine. i think nato is probably want to,

going to try to do the same thing. draw certainly and so clash with nate. busy in cost of all to, to protect their own people. in that sense, the power was the last few is very good. all right, well thank you very much for that critical analysis of this developing situation. political analyst, alexander pottage. thank you. now now the news, a new l g b t q bill passed and you gone to is causing trouble for it's politicians and making them unwelcome in washington. the country speaker of the house has had his us visa cancelled, which according to come, paula is nothing more than political cherry picking. do you guys hold on a visa? no it is. you are right. for me. i have no problem with the way it got your money. it is definitely s might with these people is seeing this hello. yeah. was cited by the president, the property called you guys may have kind of data breaches the

guy who missed. i'm assuming what we've got our correspondence, lima, it's our on this story right in our cross and live to her or my mom. can you tell us more about this new l. g, b t q, bill, and you've gone to and what is washington's reaction? been to it right now, right after this bill was past parliamentary speaker, i need the i need to among had her us visa denied. now the united states has long been a warrant in uganda of repercussions. economic repercussions in case they decide to put this bill out. now the same sex with same sex relations in uganda as well as in older 34 african countries have long been illegal. this is nothing new, but this new law goes even further and despite western attempts to try to scare you gone the way and to try to scared with sanctions and condemnation. the bill was

passed today this morning with only 2 lawmakers being a guest. now this new law is considered to be one of the world's toughest and t o g b t laws and according to governmental officials, this is only to preserve family values and your guns and values as a whole. now some of the points of the law include the death penalty for aggravated homosexuality, as well as a 20 year long, a prison sentence for promoting homosexuality. now, this is nothing new and you've gone that. and since 2014, they've been discussing and t o g be to laws and but at the time it was much less restrictive after the was has right. and yet again, to suspend the aides that a sense of the country as well as put some visa restrictions on your guns and citizens. all right, that was our t correspondence. lima is shar, thanks for bringing us those details. now after months of paula taking to the kia

has chosen it's leader for the next 5 years incumbent president bridge. i've heard a one has once again been entrusted to take the nation forward. he defeated the opposition candidate. come ok, lead star low in the countries 1st ever election run off on sunday. however, you backed observers are now casting doubt over election fairness. it has in the 1st round bias, major coverage and deluxe of a level playing field. it gave an unjustified advantage to the income by the election administration technically minor to the election efficiency. but it's lack of transparency and combination. communication largely press this fits us president joe biden and european leaders earlier rushed to congratulate her the wall and on his re election, which seems to contradict their treatment of the newly elected turkish liter. and previous comments and western media reports are to contributor rachel marston,

explains what's behind this sharp opinion change by the west on are the ones with check this out us president joe biden tweeted, quote, i look forward to continuing to work together as nato allies on bilateral issues and shared global challenges, but just over 3 years ago, in december 2019, when bottom was running for the presidency against incumbent president, donald trump, who had a really good relationship with air to one find told a bunch of new york times editors that the us should quote, make it clear that we support opposition leadership so they can quote, take on and the feet arrow to one, not by a crew, but by the electoral process. by then also said that, quote, i've spent a lot of time with him, meaning president air to one of turkey. he's an autocrat. so now suddenly the white house is switzerland's not picking sides. biden said earlier in the electro process

and turkey that he just told that whomever wins does it on a big us, we. so is it any wonder that earlier in the presidential campaign, early one had been accusing the opposition and washington of commuting together against him? a might, them gave the instructions saying, we have to tell the other one. i know this. all my people know this tomorrow the balance of will give by didn't announce as well. and if anyone was looking for a 2nd source, other than bite and himself, trump's former national intelligence director, richard grinnell just extensively accused biden of 4 and meddling and turkey. instructing jeff flake to meet with the opposition candidate in the middle of the election was a terrible mistake. the us must strongly advocate for its policies, but must stay away from picking size and elections are due on knows what you do. this will not benefit us interest, so your plan leaders are also now joining this congratulatory choir. but in the run up to the vote, russell's was dangling the notions of a common market with the

e u. n. visa liberalization for turkey in the u. in front of the turkish voters like it was some kind of an engagement ring, even though they seem more interested in just stringing and car a long to keep health thing it out with migrants from africa are hosting nato basis for their never ending wars in africa. in the middle east or negotiating the black sea grand deal between russia and ukraine, and a significant chunk of the western press was also explicitly calling in the months before this election for, or the wind to be dropped, kicked from power, and through western meddling if need be now none of this seems to have a scape, otherwise attention, in the, in the city of psychological operations carried out in the international media about us on the 9th of may, the 14th we, through all this away with the will and when invested in the ballad books, we have shown the dictatorship rhetoric is pure nonsense. think of it this way. will it dictate the whole, the 2nd round,

the dictates of finishes his job in the 1st round. and besides, he can finish it with 90 percent of votes. there are many examples of this in the world where long and to win the hearts of our nation know the dictatorship. so just days ago, western leaders were already treating early on life the dumped acts. and now that he's back on the scene, they're acting like he either didn't notice that remarks or doesn't remember their bad know thing. well, good luck with that. western media outlets have also been calling out her to ones close ties with russia. a political analyst and research or beula into yahoo is believes anyone doing that does not understand or kias geopolitical position. any in the western media is considering that the 2 k is going to be going forward belonging to a cat that is outside of nature. that comes with a complete misunderstanding of,

of to kia and also the the gel political realities in the region. yes, and i took is, of course, is a member of the nature of your no doubt about it. but that doesn't, that doesn't mean that the trickier cannot have. busy strong and very productive relations with russia. first of all, you know, the history shows us geography and history book shows us the 2 countries to get and, and russia are, are linked. so it's one thing to send it from the other size of the bag and put the put countries in boxes and, and then expect to anticipate that they would behave, you know, in unison, in all matters. sunday nights on massive gatherings across the country celebrating are the ones victory. they waved national flags and lit flares while dancing and

toasting to the wind. these are scenes from the nation's largest city is done vote . however, opposition supporters frustrated that the outcomes are now demanding killing star lo steps down as the opposition leader local corresponding as well. i'll start explain. i'm and john kaya the capital c h b industries. i see some of the people who are disappointed with the failure of kim on college that old in the rental election. the criticism against him has already started last night. his voters were in the caea to be headquarters. i'm calling for his resignation. vision forms that are on that could be 10 more that and so so, but as long as came out occasion, our role is around the election. so will not be one. we change whether it's b b, a k policy for the c h b. when it change for a country, i think kim, all accused are all those somebody who wants to destroy the c h p, a big them just want us to come out because the rob lowe did not come across as

very trusting it didn't project an image that the country was going to be better off. people just don't trust religion to roll. it hasn't been able to come into power for 20 years. and the only reason is because he's a trustworthy projector. you parted on is a world leader. and as long as the party on is a life, the people will vote for him to them, which just i was expecting calisto wrong to when i was supporting him. however, the a k party won. this is a battle for democracy. you'll never know who would win. titus. the results are the best for our people in our nation. a better outcome was impossible. i support their to go because there's no better alternative. it's i sold college dar. oh, who would lose? i didn't have a lot of hope. however, i supported him as much as possible as the young opposition support. i was just say it wasn't enough for the dish or intellect to the journalist. everyone into kit is now discussing whether to my color settled or will resign or not. even it came to

me all the the mayor of his danville and who is also promised to be appointed as a dispute. the president of 2 p, a east coast that all the one published a message. he said, the only thing which doesn't change is the need for the change itself. people know, actually who's going to the next president of the turkey afford upcoming 5 years president are done. got the victory with 52 percent of the votes. but the questions are always going to be the next chairman of c h, b. and what is going to happen to the united 6 of position alliance? earlier artes more on how mommy spoke with senior editor of the daily. so bob nor banu keys, you know who says dorothea, has new priorities besides economic issues, a new government's priority. besides the economy, to rebuild the earthquake zone and also speed up urban reconstruction efforts,

especially in this summer, they have launched new projects to reconstruct all their homes because they are expecting a high magnitude or we can assemble as well. how do you feel as a woman in to care and what would you like to see with best buy? well, women's rights are not the best in the country. i mean, we can't just ignore shortcomings. but right now there are, i believe, 121 female lawmakers from all parties. and that is the highest amount in the history of the republic. and also women's employment has also increased to 37 percent. i would like to see less news of women being killed or you know, being subjected to violence on a daily basis. more protection for women who are experiencing violence at home. and also more protection in terms of more economic protection for these women.

where will the weapons wind up? that's the question. that's newspaper and r c is asking, while the ukraine conflict rages on fueled by billions of us dollars and military aid to key. if the n r c article emphasized that the arms trafficking issue was barely discussed, since anyone raising concerns is consigned to the pro russian camp, experts are worried that payoffs could break out when the conflict is over due to the wide availability of weapons. the article sites afghanistan and mucus lobby, a as examples where weapons supplies wound up elsewhere or in the wrong hands to but to get more on the story now we're going across live to sonya vanden and she's an independent that's journalist. thanks for joining us. sonya, how worrying do you think this that's newspapers article is saying weapon supply to ukraine may end up on the black market essentially. is actually worried because when i'm as n s. c,

and use paper is starting to write an article like this. they must be very, very good because the n s c is actually controlled by the government. so uh, and indeed we saw all these things happening and actually this lady of the sort and i read hers with syria. we recently saw at the borders of russia is pro max fake, always be militia, which they claim it is. melisha is going to free russia. but of course they had an american pro max. and it mean it's, it was, i didn't catch it or a lot of other brand and all that it was sold or gold at the black market somehow. and he said, well, we can buy it in any schultz would you like military show. so, but actually it's very worrying because they also claim and this article, the weapons of going in 2022. but of course, you know, there's because of the medical what she said in the, in the driven newspapers that the width and the are going in since 2014,

with the outbreak of the conflict in the us to, to write down. so actually it's very, very, nobody knows how many weapons are there already, and i think there are a lot. and then when i myself, i wasn't staying with them. yes. last year. and i saw all the kept to american with those major with them. so it's very, really, we don't know what's going on that in the park, if you can. course, while concerning would you say, is this other part of the article that saying that, you know, experts who just stop towing the western line just a little bit, or all of a sudden lumped into the pro russian camp. and that's what i mean. i mean, when they start talking about weapons, you know, there will be a switch to in ukraine for the black markets. they, of course, claiming now that russia is telling them a whole nother document, which is totally ridiculous. and i mean it's, it's very rarely because we know this militia, we don't know how many musicians actually there are. i mean,

we hear from this free, so whole russian army, supposedly, to free russia. but how, who knows what else is there? i mean, we have the actual benjamin before, so we don't know where the weapons would end up. so i think we're at the west is writing articles like this, the full washington's officially forbidden ukraine from using these weapons. it supplies it on russian territory, but we saw a sabotage group entering rushes belgrade region driving a us armored vehicle. and the reaction from the west was all, maybe these photos are, are blurry. we don't really know, but of course is nonsense what, what can be read into this example where they are afraid of course, because indeed this pro mx for you call. i don't know exactly what it is, but they will found their answer weekdays, melisha, an old journalist where they ask for mister newspaper, said wrapping around. oh,

you know, this is very rude to maybe the russians, but actually as later was saying, no, there were actually ukrainians only the for man. this dennis car poston. he is in the russian has a russian passport, actually lived in germany and he's in the new massey, 70 total, that he was also published in germany for that. so then they end up there in the hands of people like that and nobody knows what other. yeah, you know, he goes or weapons are ending up there. so, i mean, it has to be the reason of course, your mind is that, you know, okay, now we are out there and may not end up in the hands of the russians or, you know, ukraine. you may not use them to attack the rush. of course it will help them. that's for sure. that's what you saw in our rec extra slave. yeah. serious now? yeah, that's what was happening. always with sonya what. what do you think the main reason is that the western media is mostly silent about arms profiting in ukraine because

they themselves, of course, are supplying these arms and know the weather's for peace, is what they call them. and i think the sectors that they don't know exactly maybe who is winning on the battlefield at the moment or that, you know, we have a rumors or that may be a, they're not so many ukrainian soldiers left anymore. so they are very worried now because when they end up in the wrong guys may be trucks, cartels, or somehow sort of must here. whoops, well, they are trying to yours as well because we sold with syria when i says, or desmond most came back to europe. well, you have the big problem. yes, it'd be good for them in europe as well. so this is their worry. and then don't worry, of course about the rush as it goes, you know, it's, uh, you know, there are steps on that. so this is the, as i think there's issues, once you'd worry about the notes, maybe for russia about to call you about because there's a lot of vitamins ready,

of course, in the cities like in the netherlands, you have the last here. well, nobody knows. then what since when they come from, i think actually dyslexia and so on. so it's a very worrying thing. and actually really alright. sonya of on that end, independent dutch journalist, thanks for joining us on the program. thank you. the roar of boeing could be heard at the french open after ukrainian tennis player, marked their cost joke, refused to shake the hand of her belly russian opponent. this incident came at the end of their 1st round match, which was won by anya, somebody and con cost. you came over to shake the empire's hand but ignored her opponent provoking the wrath of some of the crowd ukrainian, commended her fellow athlete for not condemning the conflict in ukraine. she also refused to post for the traditional pre match picture with the ball boys.
