a tunneled sharika nose located very close to the border has been shelved for several days by ukrainian militants. people are being evacuated from the town and surrounding areas as ukrainian fighters attempt to cross the border r cheeseburgers dawn of reports from the grounds in the town of she beck and i'm the bell. good region in general is being showed by the ukranian artillery. they began their attacks last year to the russian army pulled out from the adjacent height of region of ukraine. but in the past few weeks, and especially the past couple of days, they've stepped up, they increased the rustic fields. such settings completely drastically dramatically . really the town of shoot back, and now it has been shall also, relentlessly, also the check points on the road leading from the city of belgrade, the regional capital, where we are right now, the boat or the check point, the road check point was shell. it was jammed with civilian vehicles as locals.

they were trying to figure out if they can go to she backing up probably collect more of their belongings, collect their pets and pro, possibly evacuated some of the relatives that they had to go, that had to stay behind and had no means of evacuating sophie's route, so from the rounds, well, it is, the civilian cause and of these 2 people died that in general, since the beginning of ukraine's attacks against the region of belgrade, here in russia just showed over 40 civilians were killed. and also at the same time, on the ground, the ukrainian army, they tried to reach the russian ukraine border, but that attack was successfully repelled. ukrainian side lost several of them with vehicles. at least 2 tracks. one of them it was compete or destroyed. and another one was abandoned by its crew, as they were trying to make p, uh, photographs just outside the machine and well of the russian tillery got really,

really close to them. now belgrade, the regional capital, it has, of course, become the main house before the back. you ways they a guy that here, here's what some of them a had to say. if it's not at $315.00, the garage shall. and again, it's around $340.00. they told me that should back, you know, the balloon, that there was a brakes to attempt to know with some of john con, we started to patch but then decided to keep calm and stay where we were over now i, there was another break through attempt. i drove to the highway and asked the police and military, we should panic. they replied that there was no need to panic, but it breaks, it was possible, so it was better to leave the city that i guess food was lying in a bed. i couldn't sleep than my bed was jolted up. words i quickly got dressed, stepped out on the porch, and there was like in the great battery arctic war like a bad ridge from the cut you shall ensure the shells came howling one after another . non stop is comparable to the was days of the towns in the desk and the low guns

republicans very close to any situation that our crew has witnessed in the most promptly townsend's a dumbass, except it is not the don't bass of course. and for instance, the on 1st day of the crate in the armed forces, they lewis to move an 800 artillery rounds towards the ship back into town districts alone. and that number has to be added to, well, all the project tasks that were launched and sides woods of the board, the town. so really again, the intensity of the attacks it's, uh well it's fish. now this comes as new footage has appeared online, showing dead ukrainian militants who attempted a border raid into the russian belgrade region. we warn you, the following images are disturbing. the images appear to show at least 6 dead militants. the russian defense ministry set on thursday that more than 50 ukrainian

troops were killed as they tried to cross the russian border moscow. so the incident was a terrorist provocation, aimed against the civilian population. of the dissenters all now were 10 people have died in violent clashes with police security forces fired tear gas to disperse crowds of protestors who burn tires on the main roads. the police officers were patrolling the streets of the capital. the car on friday with the army also deployed to provide security, particularly around banks, french own supermarkets and petrol stations. violence erupted after the made opposition leader who was months old, who was sentenced to 2 years in prison for charges of corrupting youth in the city

of the own char, we're the leader, was mayor since last year, thursday's violence left a local university damaged with burnout cars, scattered across roads and many buildings, vandalize locals believe the violins will not help resolve the issues this on team of the feeling that drives me today. it is a feeling of frustration and desolation at what happened in front of this public institution of the state of senegal. which belongs to the assign sec university of singling course. this is an institution that is only a decade old to be evangelist does not help any one because as long as there is no peace, we cannot leave a real life. i deplore what is happening in our country this images do not on us senate go up to a local journalist from senegal, sent as this report with more details on the unrest in the african country. they was seeds of scales to follow the country,

suspicion he, uh and the guy shot the sauce of the country rad, responsible the, the mail, the man of the, like, the side of the team has to be changed. and so because it was bad for the absence of the fields was sometimes the buyer came in a house 2 years in freedom, less than fun of 600000 to be paid to the thank you for i just a lot of those fees. do you mind just leave the bodies, the party to go through a pause for the most christians in addition

to what they themselves for the rest of the, the population to do the threes, the side of the buildings and place these bases on top of the list and read the barricades in several of the policies that a friend of the nation, the the up and i was also i'm really upset and the they think that the, the po for them to just be and the seems to the yesterday the ministry, the ministry of the side to access to social networks such as feasible. the aspect of um, uh youtube, what stuff take them the other streets. uh that is kind of my name

is kevin with s t o in the a and the guy shop. the extension is functionaries and the as well commission has called for a sedition law to be amended saying that a ball is showing it entirely would have an adverse effect on national security. dozens of people are imprisoned to each year in india for violating the colonial era law, which was eventually suspended in may last year. the commission on revising the law decided it's better left in place in the interest of maintaining security. however, certain amendments will be implemented to prevented from being misuse. a life sentence will now be handed down to those who incite violence against the government. with that copy of the law will reportedly also protect freedom of speech. we spoke to legal experts and journalists from the asian country who debated the law. it seems the time you've done things. so the citizen,

lots of got disconnected because if it's in law, if you just don't, which is been used by the government of india to much of the, and the freedom of speech and exploration. as a country india, you need to protect the solar energy before they need to contribute to o'clock the showing the name of the region has. there's numerous challenges in fostering fields both internally and extra. and in that regard, if you go through the solution law, i guess the law comes in is done of what we're really trying to explain to the importance of all, not only does the addition locks, but how it should be implemented, i guess it is very important that the one district, the fact that the democratic, the rights of the city, the cards we can be protected only of the soul, but in the rights of the nation is protected. this law is not that what does not apply towards the good sides of the government. though the parameters of the country, if you needed them, is that,

but we want to some of the guy you see that all about and then down every done that in the story, that is the premise of i'm a let, let someone side the is on the one, but before that is it is a law of the country. it isn't wide that when someone tries to a site with the enemy who wants to this, the lives of the one who does does is the integrity and one of the woman from inside the country. if somebody could decide to the government of india in a different work, then government of india and x, and that goes that particular person, which is not good at all, maybe some man is not doing good. well then people who have the right to criticize the government innovative sped, which i remember that if somebody is criticizing the government, then he or she is doing it in there, but investment sort of manner. so i think this citizen a lot to go,

because the shows but does, it didn't go to start with we are, we want to remove it, then you wouldn't happen to have the data data or least log, which has been included maybe mentored by the british or but david jane did that. what time and off the newport news and 47, you had your own. plus you train to feed into that. we have those log you those information in this country. again, you see that you remove all the c o n level. you said that people have actually a language board and boxed and type of disabilities. the piece of this country unfortunately, and this lloyd is there to protect us. 3 is big problem. so we provide that. you're a, it doesn't give you a ball of this big, i just don't that and over to sudan now where a monetary and crisis continues to rage. and despite the difficulties civilians are facing, washington hasn't post thing. sions on the country,

allegedly stating it will block the flow of support from reaching local military forces through sanctions were cutting off the financial flows to both the rapid support forces and the so then these armed forces depriving them of resources needed to base soldiers re arm resupply and wage warrants done, the united states stands on the side of civilians against those who perpetuate violence still was the people of so done. but critics say the sanctions will only further destabilize the country. recent calculations from the united nations shows through den is in need of over $2600000000.00 to rebuild from the conflict with only $354000000.00 receive thus far. according to the un 18000000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance. historian and author gerald horn believes washington sanctions will actually exacerbate the humanitarian crisis,

rather than throwing a lifeline to a drowning man. united states is throwing water in the face of a drowning man with the health flow of refugees from sudan. this is placing enormous stress on neighboring countries, including chad to the west, central african republic to the south, and not to mention ethiopia and eric for you to the east. and as a result, the sanctions, i fear, will exacerbate, in already detour rating economic situation. now, one way to look at that, perhaps a not easy way to look at that is that the united states is appearing to be an honest broker, a sanctioning both sides. but i think that if you dig a little deeper, you may easily suspect to be honest,

states is trying to get leverage against both sides. and apparently the 1st side, the cuts to deal with united states will have sanctions lifted. meanwhile, sedan is not the only african country in a dire crisis. for the 1st time, burkina faso has made it to the top of the world's most neglected displacement crisis list. and that's according to a new report from the norwegian refugee council. and according to the n r c, secretary general, the world should provide the same support for those countries most they need, as it does for ukraine. the policy response to the suffering inflicted by the war ukraine demonstrated what the world can deliver for people in need. political action for your cleanings has been impactful, and swift borders kept open funding plenty and media coverage. extensive those empower, need to show the same humanity towards people affected by crises in places such as

booking of fi. so, and the democratic republic of the congo volcano fossil, i'm allowed to come 3 in the words, looking at the release of it was most meg click the displacement kweisi according to lower vision to refrigerate cancer. and that see as it comes with his that are just a move on to media and individual falls to leave at home to meet a link of basic needs, such as food, water, health care, and how sick lady put play, sees a finger on it prints. and rolls came, we also cannot be sure this for the 1st time burkina faso is the world's most neglected price is increasing violence and displacement. have left nearly one in for burke and not a in need of aid. and this deepening and overlooked crisis of these up pointed and i'm able to comprehend how into law sheila community has been putting billions of

dollars into a wild guess, pennies into society where the mediterranean situation may to minutes remove more important as far as this big of a conflict, and it seems like, on the works. i'm one of those devices, in my opinion, i think the wisdom, there's, don't want to help us with weapons. they're taking up arms to help you create against russia, one book in a 5. so there's terrorism, which has been like gang green for years, but they don't want to give us sophisticated weapons to fight against terrorism. i don't think that's normal compared to the money that the western is give to you create to fight russia. i am revolted because african countries lot of booking a fossil and you'd money to buy equipment. the population is also suffering from famine. they're internally displaced. they need food and water, the west on a should think about that while that. so if i knew cases, they came to fight us and colonize us. now in the 21st century,

there is another way to keep control of africa to so that's why they don't want to help us fight the terrorist. this war in the terrorist weakness because they want to keep western interest in africa. now, africans one to take responsibility. we have denounced certain facts, certain practices of our colonizers, which we do not like. i mean, we ask them to review their partnership as they don't want to understand us. and we also don't want to let it go. my doctor had gotten a lot there. isn't there the issue of color? maybe in some ways, it's the color of the skin that makes these dates to refuse to help us help african countries to get out of this situation. in any case, it's revolting. it revolts me as burkina faso as also one of the allies of the us and france to crises occurred at the same time. but i think burkina faso has lasted longer, unlike the recent ukrainian crisis on for me as an ally in a friendly country, they must naturally make efforts to free burkina faso. in this crisis. one video

penny, usually one head supported ukraine. we're more of an attempt to 1000000000 you since the beginning of the war frames we've 19 video and the you with taps release . we $112.00 be a ways a little out of the work i do. meanwhile, the president of the moderation forum says that western countries always give a helping hand to each other. well, africa faces historic discrimination myself. here the international community should treat everyone equally without double standards. europeans or the americans are welcomed and getting the best treatments. while the africans, for example, are the muslims, are treated differently. no getting the same welcome or treatments from the sponsor countries. moreover, their elected representatives and international parliaments which are supposed to treat everyone equally be godless, of their religion color based on the confident they came from, the do not to fight for them. it's no surprise because we used to sing the west

looking at the human race at 2 levels. the western human level with western rights given to them and the 2nd level of the north, west and human. therefore, if a disaster will flow adults and they do affects the former inside of west and rushes to help them, even if it was one person bringing them age. in this case, you want to see is shown in this best lights for the when the issue concerns of gummy started to done a book. you know, fossil wasted age is not actually quiet. of the western community totally turn this back on. the price is considering is a domestic issue, so the african union or a parliament should take care of in this case. so issues gets worse because of the funds it's, it's not only a racial issue, it's also about the spoken language and the geography. and sometimes history, we see the english speaking states, for instance, dealing with each other with the highest levels of respect. the same thing happens between the french speaking well in the countries of the north generally reacts in a hurry when one of them is in trouble. so i'll be giving a helping hand to design moments. therefore, the african countries, for instance,

or the non speaking ones, find themselves discriminated, racially because of the language in the history. while speaking at an asian defense summit and singapore, the indonesian defense minister, voice state peace plan for ukraine, as among his suggestions are a ceasefire and the freezing of the position of forces as well as the creation of a d militarize zone and the deployment of un peacekeeping forces, he also suggested holding referendums in the disputed territories to confirm the will of civilians, chinese and us defense ministers are also present at the event. i mean rising us tying no tensions. ortiz, rachel mars then takes us through the summit and how you frame been added to the mix challenges. so this decades old annual meeting in single board traditionally focuses on security and defense issues in the asia pacific region. what salesforce deputy prime minister seems to be suggesting is that none of the southeast asian

nations present really want to focus on a show down at high noon at this summit between uncle sam and china. like they have nothing else to worry about. the us sent a delegation to the other side of the planet to this forum with the same message that they've been peddling everywhere recently. that is, that china is a threat that needs to be countered. and how might they need to counter that threat? funny, you should ask, turns out it's by getting more tax payer cash to the us military industrial complex . the china scare also gives the us an excuse to pressure its allies against doing business with china. so it seems that the distancing of the you from china to the ultimate benefit of the us is well underway. was a bit ceiling. so she knows with all relationship with china, exactly described by the try outs, different parts, not composites, a systemic drive away because although rivalry and competition in china spots have

undoubtedly increased even it can, one needs to recognize still very competitors and sadly, increasingly also systemic drive voltage because 50 now it seems as if china has already started a process to anticipate the impact of possible sanctions. that is starting to play the risk for us while we talk about it. they are already doing it. and speaking of western proxies, you frames defense minister is also at the asian security summit. apparently, he wants everyone to know that you praying is a very, very, very important part of asia. participating in the international institute for strategic studies, shingle law dialogue is just premier defense summit in singapore. the main point of agreement at all meetings is that the rule of law must prevail over the rule of force. ukraine must win this war that russia has started. so be it, european leaders are also there to keep the asian security focus on ukraine because

i guess there really aren't any other problems in the world beyond you for it, and certainly absolutely no problems at all in asia. so there's no problem, just keeping the focus on, keep, you know, trying to get asian countries to distance themselves from russia over you frame is really an up help find the trade between russia and indonesia, for example, was up by a half last year and russia's discounted few likes sports to india or a 5530 percent in april, year on year with increased russian defense sales to move down we as well cooperation in various sectors appears to be heading in precisely the opposite direction. from what the west seems to want. now, the indian foreign minister has explained exactly why that's the case. our partnership today is the subject of attention and comment. not because it has changed, but because it has not. indeed, it has been among the study as to the major relationships of the world in the

contemporary era. but that by itself is not enough. we share a commitment to a multi polar world. and that also means a multi polar asia. russia is today looking much more towards asia, a reassessment from its traditional focus for india, this could mean a broadening out of our engagement that was overly reliant on the triad of military nuclear in space cooperation. while it sounds like the path of non alignment in europe should be taking itself in its very own best interest, rather than acting as the backup choir for washington. and it's on the agenda at some. it's like this. an angry crowd booed german chancellor, all of sholtes blaming him for fueling the ukraine conflict. the

shout louder, the angry crowd demanded the chancellor's resignation. having faced opposition and public discontent, chancellor sholtes made an attempt to justify his assistance to you frame and made constant prize of anger from the audience. but tired of the crowd chanting schultz ended his speech with a sarcastic remark and walked off stage. the incident took place at an s p d party festival in the suburbs of berlin. and that's a rap on the hour, but coming up, it's getting more more difficult and even dangerous for journalists and dissidents to cover wars and political issues. from a standpoint that contradicts the establishment. more on the discussion with independent journalist, patrick lancaster, covering other dom bass next on the west of floors. thanks for joining us. think of the.
