the good afternoon from the rushing capital. this is our key international with the latest and world news today. i'm for your elizabeth, welcome to the program. we begin with breaking news from the russian capital where there's been another attempt to drill and strike a building in the moscow city international business center. that was just the top 2 days ago was head again. the russian defense ministry says it was a ukrainian terrorist attack to ukrainian u a v squared destroys in the air by air defense over the temperature of elden solver. and narrow for means can districts of the most cool region. another drawing was suppressed by electronic warfare and having lost control crashed on the territory of a non residential complex in moscow city. 3 drones on this occasion dispatch towards moscow to shut down by actual air defense, a blown out of the sky if you like. one,

the one that caused the damage to the building behind me was brought down by electronic warfare means this, the secret of system that interferes with the navigation and the ability of these things to fly and brought it down onto this commercial center, damaging the building lightly the same building had been damaged in the last 48 hours by another, a wave of attacks as important to note and to for the viewers to know that all of these attacks have been forwarded by russian air defenses. and those are a defenses to more attacks come, the more they hone their skills and ability to plug the old in the system. so that is a slight positive if you like. what for the people on the ground who have to experience that the loud bangs and booms of air defense systems. and also the deb read that comes down in these a civilian areas. it can be quite a hiring experience and we can actually listen to some of those experiences. no, i would say to my friend the voice message to my

voice message and i guess or decided and it turns out that another 2 are in the same building which hit some days ago. and it was also in the news of the ministry of defense to find that it wasn't not a ukrainian story so that you can see the hole in the building by the train. this guy moved to new york. to be honest, we did not see the drone. we only saw the flames when we came around the building. those dell sound when we drum flew in, it was loud. the mostly not because we will have to cross these bridge to see what happened the day before yesterday. as soon as we approach, we also the work is way yesterday's cross how to codes and they told us right before we heard an explosion, we immediately ran there and found fragments. so as you can see, that does have an impact that as well as this is the aim of the key, every game to have a, a psychological impact. what is it? these are pin prick attacks. they have no military or strategic value and they

don't to change anything on the battlefield. and as i say, you would want to question why these very expensive machines are being dispatched the most good to be, show their design. i think it's important that the viewers understand the context in which these attacks occur as ukraine's long pointed counter offensive failing, huge amounts of western military equipment being part and destroyed by russia, russia holding the line in the done bus. so things not going according to plan, so there's a need to deflect. there's a need to cite to influence russian public opinion, of course. and this has taken a brutal in odeon murderous form. a in, in various attacks here in russia plugged into test the children and targeted assassination st. petersburg ad dirty, a do going to killed in a car bombing, which was apparently meant to try get her her father, but actually killed her. so again, these very cynical attacks a burgeoning and growing on the west seems to be very adamant that it will turn a blind eye. and we can actually have

a look at some of those tax the

the geez tax on moscow act. isolated, this is part of a psychological attempt frontier to deflect from what's actually happening on the popular grounds. it's huge, mind power losses. uh, you know, a tiring nato. a tiring international community with the key of constant demands for more weaponry, more, more game changers. so i think we can expect probably to see more of these 10 quick type of attacks, which i'll have to say making my way here this morning. actually hearing the noise of the air defense this morning, myself and most of the people are most going to people are russia, are getting on with their business. they're open their feet moving. we have a very busy construction site here. the man and women working in moscow, continuing to work,

they will continue to work. and these attacks remain what they are desperately are attempt quite to have to scramble for some kind of relevance with the population here in russia. and as the ukranian president claims western support for t as more efforts are never enough, the us senate blocks and investigation into how you create is actually spending billions of dollars in american taxpayer money to stay with us as we bring you the full story later in the program molly and burkina faso have warned against any for an intervention into the affairs of neighboring news year, influenced by their own anti french twos over the last few years. we warn that any military intervention against any share would amount to a declaration of war against molly and burkina faso. any military intervention would cause molly and burkina faso to withdraw from the economic community of west

african states. the issue and so $51000000.00 worth of bonds from the west african national bank for news year has been suspended by the regions central bank and ed sanctions imposed on the country. and the threat of a potential intervention from the equal wasp block, which has given the countries cool leaders a week to reinstate the president's issue. we had the difficulty fun while in new jerry people were being murdered while abundance terrace came to take people out of their homes to have them killed. echo was said, nothing. it is when the syrians wake up to save their homeland, that the people was once to impose sanctions. let's get, let's think. so it'd be the, because the sanctions ain't and not to rise to people rather than those in power. the objective force to bring people to an uprising against the authorities. what kind of clean power is associated with the car? do they have being dropped situations? there are crises, much more serious than the sanctions. and the people have to live according to the

situation. and now we will be able to adapt what sort of this organization should be ashamed of itself? the latest, the latest supposing of an african state leader is one of several over the past 3 years with popular movements pushing french influence out of the central african republic. and molly, as well around a 1000 french troops that exeter molly for new year now find themselves in limbo. the french foreign minister has refuted the claims from local military forces that frances planning a military intervention. parents has also said that no legal arms were used by french security forces during the recent attacks,

the french embassy in yami. the. the problem you ma'am, but the, the problem started from the existence of pouring bases, particularly the french in our country because just in admissible that they're offering military basis in our country, nursing security because only dettori a to so as young people where a guest 1st of all the occupation of our country on the it. so we are able to give our lives for our digging us here because it will be nothing to be free in a prison where i present no friends. we are the property of friends, that is this prison that we are open today. it is no longer possible the house to get people to accept that we, i was the man. people have to agree to recognize that the country is a sovereign states. don't close issue to 60. so i'm one of those, the things that the french for their military bases must leave it with the others, mostly news years. so because they're useless,

say that their presence has not reduced in securities. on the, on the other hand, they have never recorded their own casualties. but in our army, our men die by the 100 years. new military leaders have reportedly stapo exports of uranium in gold to france, which relies on resources from the west african country are t contributor. rachel morrison has the details. where would be 2 leaders in asia or possibly get the idea that france had any interest whatsoever and intervening in its former colony? well, it might have something to do with the statement that was put out by the french presidential palace the day on sunday. that redcoat anyone attacking french nationals, the army, the diplomats and interests which see france respond immediately and intractable. and by french nationals, they mostly just mean one guy named mister uranium because the jail is francis top supplier of it providing 15 percent of its total supply. and the 5th of the

european union's and the mineral is absolutely critical to power. frances nuclear reactors, you see frances energy independence is ironically, very dependent on these. yeah. which would explain why french president and even mccaul sounded awfully angry about something happening a whole continental way. anyone attacking french nationals, the army diplomats and rights of way would see france respond immediately. an intractable e, the president of the republic will not tolerate any attack against france and its interest. yeah, those friends interest with certainly included uranium and now we've been hearing multiple western press reports for the military june tasks now in charge has cut off the exports of both uranium and gould to france. and that comes as really bad timing for paris, which is become even more reliant on its nuclear power plants after cutting itself off from russian gas with the rest of the you to impress, you pray, and present viruses, whiskey in kind of the same way that college party guys worked themselves into a frenzy in dump things like jump off

a roof to impress girls. jury is already on the verge of the industrialized because you're expected nomic engine can't run on wind and sun, who knew apparently, not berlin, but at least france had not completely bought into berlin's green fantasies and moscow called all the nuclear power plants. although maximum was certainly heading in that direction. so plan b after the russian gas cut off was the power in and back up. but now the jazz has suspended the exports of the radium, but they require with the immediate effect. but hey, no problem though, right? because france has other suppliers like has extend, andy's becca stand, except who are, he controls the transport of those sierra rushes nuclear giant gross adam flips that doesn't really repairs with much wiggle room. now that it's in conflict with all of these uranium suppliers, lawston all be selfish for an interest though is the will of the citizens of these

you have to be allowed to do what we want to point. the president, we need outside years must not impose people up on us to manage us. that's the end of it. as citizens of news. yeah. we're against the french military bases. the american faces, the canadian, and the tenant basis, all those for and basis. but all you need, yeah, we don't need them. our armed forces must not give into any blackmail. new share is resilient. we are resilient, where we produce our g. d. p is more than enough for us to survive. we call on the armed forces, the security forces to resist those attempts to blackmail us. it's interesting when it comes to the conflicts in ukraine, back home makes it all about the interest of ukrainians. but when unrest breaks out in the shaft, it's all about french interest. it wasn't that long ago. a bit of time. prime minister shows a middle name was, i'm dressing, france on the world stage, and exposing gets colonial interests in all their glory,

where somebody don't feel level. this is a child who works in a gold mine in volcano fast. so it's one of the poorest nations in the world from sprints colonial money for booking of faso, which has gold in return they demanded 60 percent of every single key, not fast, so exports and jump in the coffers of the french treasury. the goal, the, this child goes down the tunnel to extract mostly himself in the coffers of the french state. so the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to europe . the solution is to free africa from saxon europeans who exploited and allowed these people to leave off what they have in the ends. mccomb might try to dress up and justify his actions and trust sions as defending democracy in asia rather than economic new colonialism. but the reality is that the emperor really is just standing there in his fancy lackluster boxer shorts, by this point. now, to the latest updates on the ground in the ukrainian conflict,

3 people have been killed in at least 15 injured according to local authorities. in the latest ukrainian attack on this, i thought it was a region that had a market on monday. this comes and made another attack earlier and central done yet for residential buildings came under fire. i ukrainian shelly, resulting in the death of one civilian with 11 others injured. the video on your screen shows cars on fire and debris scattered across the city streets in the aftermath of the a top. meanwhile, the ukrainian president claims that more a needs to be provided for keeps war efforts, saying the support from its western patrons is not enough. is there enough help if the war was over? that would be enough. as long as there is a war, nothing can be enough. this suggests that something is missing. ukrainian presidents who want to ski is speaking out and claiming the west is still not doing enough. despite the record amount of legal aid, it has pledged its yeah,

the latest package from the bite in ministration is worth $400000000.00. and it cops as the majority of democrats in the us senate voted against a measure, the one who created an inspector general's office to oversee how the a free crane is actually being spent. the white house had previously voice is off, is ition to the measure for public get to support it. know that the oversight is desperately needed. as the u. s. keeps sending a record amount of a to ukraine. it still does reasonable to demand, let alone expect our elected officials to treat our tax dollars with the respect it is due. we've spent over $100000000.00 in ukraine, and it's outrages that share with brian and would oppose even a simple old age of how this money has been spent. the american people deserve to have every dollar accounted for and this amendment would have strengthened our long running efforts to ensure fast and transparent oversight of all aspects of us support to grant but well senators,

like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have favored inspector general oversight. when it comes to us spending enough damage stamps, or even bank fail out, they were in favor of the latest proposals for oversight and ukraine. that includes an amendment from republican senator ran paul, which would give this special inspector general for afghanistan, the authority to oversee the spending of the aid for ukraine. a little over a year ago, i propose kind of amendment to the massive $40000000000.00 ukraine spending package that would have been trusted approving and effective inspector general to oversee and track how funds are spent in ukraine. my amendment was rejected and today, over a $113000000000.00 in tax payer dollars has been sent to your crane without proper oversight. my ukraine aid oversight act would extend c gars oversight authority to include a to crane and provide tax payers with an accurate accounting of how their money is spent,

as well as to detect and prevent waste and fraud. while the criminal investigation conducted by the office of the afghanistan inspector general resulted in $160.00 convictions, their reports also gave insight into the grant that amount of corruption that was occurring as a result of the billions of dollars and funding and weapons that were flooding the country with no oversight over the past 2 decades. the problem of sustainability has resulted in billions of dollars of waste for the us government at 2021 single report found that the united states has been nail is $7800000000.00 on capital assets and have done this time, including buildings, transmission lines and sub stations, roads and bridges. motor vehicles in a craft of the total. miller said to one percent, 2400000000 dollars was spent on assets that were not being used as intended, remain unused or had been abundant or destroyed. there was concern still remains as the u. s. department of defense has never passed. an audit. and the latest is

reveal the video de can't account for more than half of it's $3.00 trillion dollars worth of asset. even the us senators who have voted in favor of sending more a to ukraine, have admitted that there are serious issues when it comes to tracking how it is that way. the american people have sent over 100000000000 dollars to help our for engine ukraine. and most members of this body have supported it because somebody didn't fall from happen. it came out of people's pocket. how can we possibly look the american people in the and say that we don't want to assure them, in short to them that this money will not be sold yet. despite those concerns, the us government appears to be nowhere near the pastor oversight that it needs, given the historic amount of 8 it has passed for ukraine is such a short time as the debates continue in washington. and now to the middle east,

where the political divides and escalating violence continued to affect civilians on both ends. ortiz middle east, corresponded marie if a notion i spoke with an idea of soldiers, mother whose body was believe 2, have been captured by her mos 9 years ago, and has still not been returned to his family. the last shows me her sounds, paintings, and sketches. some of them on the walls of her apartment, colorful reminders of his tragic story. how that golding was an idea of soldier, captured by him. us during these really army protective and generation and guys in 2014. the militant group ruling this college student and clave on the mediterranean is seen by israel and many international and regional players as terrorist organization. so it is 6 hours after the abduction. the idea of announced that as death, he's buddies believe to be still held by him us up to this day, 9 years own. it's like could i being for the 9 meals?

it's like writing bicycles if i stopped i full. so every morning i wake up, i just think about about another 10 can that's can be done. may i, believe's the return of her son's body is a duty on the international community. he's kept her happened hours after you and brokers cease fire between israel and how much that both sides blame each other for violating limits. the un secretary general several times went to the you problem. and an even set with po friends is nothing helped. they all provide 1000000000 of dollars to gaza, 70 percent of what the evidence says, the gods gross through the from us. they all know they, you and states, members of sponsors to return the mystic president. and the debt. is it confidence building measures to any agreement? if they don't do they violate they, do you money, tell them lo, adopted in 2019 the un security council resolution 2474 stressed the importance of

the matter. we contacted the united nations asking to clarify what has been done in the last 9 years. regarding the case of how that of golding, he was the u. n's response. the fates of twos rarely civilians and the bodies of 2 idea of soldiers held by him. awesome government remain in importance. communitarian concern. the un calls upon him us to provide information on their status as required under international humanitarian law, and to return them to their families. sources concerns to warranty that is real and how much are in negotiations over there by the return with a militant group asking for the release of hundreds of their prisoners held and is really jails and exchange. there are other standard price. a professor also cash of the oldest of these really military's assets code says it is a shame and a failure for israel that the body of its soldier hasn't been brought home yet. it's a failure. it's a failure. we shouldn't be proud about it. how could they politicians,

the 70 guardian? did we do our best in order to bring back his court? if there is no person coordinates, the activities of the government and the army and a besides the other agencies that are involved in it. these ran with defense ministry and the idea of never responded to on numerous requests regarding the progress of the talks. we're in the south of gaza whether golding was lost, seeing by his comrades from the idea of he was getting up. some were here, no one knows the exact location at the border with hays row. we came to gaza, hoping to shed some light on the negotiations and realized the ra people on this side to waiting for the deal to happen in gaza. we met the parents of bus that eve . he was arrested in august 2002 for an alleged deadly attack. one is rarely settlers in ramallah and got to lifetime sentences. his father didn't see him for

20 years, and claims bustle should not be increasing. what the damages would cost, simply calling from national organizations and human rights organizations to explain why our songs are unjustly deal. we are an occupied people in our thoughts are resisting this resistance of the occupation is justified by every country in the world. that potential have mazda israel exchange deal is their last hope to see by so how was the base so is now enough have pressed, and we're hoping for a present or exchange deal in the future. and it's not just based alone or present us hope for that. and we pray for god to help them the see on the moon. we tried to reach out to him nice leadership, but it became clear that we wouldn't get some response slash december. him. us threatens to bury the deal if he's real doesn't speed it up. and experts close to the know tend to group explain to us possible reasons of this deadlock. unless these really government is injuring this deal with various maneuver and trying to avoid repeating that your lot shall lead deal that. let's see them release

prisoners. there is no international movement. the pressure is real into implementing an exchange deal. some sources they told r t that how much is interested in a car in stalemate. the bodies of israeli citizens can be used as a bargain shape with israel. and while tug of war continues, the end of golding families suffering is no way in sight. this is the grave of how that of golding in his hometown cemetery. the grave is here, but the body's not and nobody knows when or if it will be returned home for a proper burial reef nationality resulting from israel and garza. and that's right for now, but for the latest breaking news and updates head over to r t dot com. and my colleague nicky aaron will be taking over at the top of the hour. so say to see about

the so he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy from foundation . let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. the only personally i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very critical of time. time to sit down and talk to the

notice of both, both the models you need to do both the recalls and the for the year. 50 wallace for the 1st one that many of the

the, the the, the welcome to wells far as being able to see the next step that others may have. or will you fundamentally different from your own was was considered a benchmark of psychological maturity, which is 72 lacking in contemporary for and affairs with the west in earlier assumptions that economic development would do. wave of your political differences now proven wrong. is

a clash of great powers. inevitable will to discuss that. i'm now joined by you being a senior fellow at the russian studies center of the east china normal university and senior fellow or bishop hi association of american studies. dr. you is great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me here. now let me start with an issue that is very close to my heart on my home. this is a conflict in your brain and you are here in your article that these vast and be yours on the russian chinese. a lions greatly exaggerated the beijing is taking a distinct weight, neutral position. but do you think the chinese of the americans define neutrality in similar terms? well, uh, no. i think the west uh seas as a sort of like
