man. and so down on multiple already. i'm on the key topics on the agenda during quickness visit here. but of course, the talks here in under yard will be mainly focusing on oil market cooperation. as you know, russian saudi arabia, the leaders, the main countries of all pac plus, the group uniting the countries pumping around 40 percent of global oil and their allies. and they are those to decide how much oil to sell and such a way regulating global energy prices, of course, and also the supplies of the petroleum to the global market. and just last week, there was a very important decision how peg plus countries agreed to cut the output all for the oil for the 1st quarter of 2024 in order to boost to the energy market. but it didn't work that way. hate was expected. so we might see some further steps to be discussed and in some further agreements to be have reached in that direction during the talks here in the it's another very important historical for is these,

the extension of the greeks. that is the group, all the emerging economies, as you know, that is aimed hubs challenge in the, the world order where america is dominate, and it's making up mold and 40 percent of global population and a quarter of global economy. and as you know, both of the united arab emirates and saudi arabia, the arab countries, that water important visits today on wednesday, as well as the ron, by the way, whose leader russia as president it is expected to meet in most go on, says they have been invited to joining the break. so why ends out of course the membership next year in 2024. that is expected of course to drastically boost and trends in their organization will be discussed here as well. and also on the agenda of course. so the dramatic situation around israel had mass conflict, as you know, it is about 2 and 33rd month tomorrow. so we'll keep you updated on what will be

the outcome of the talks and meetings here. but all in all as the to the advisor of live reporting has that ahead of the some the visit here. this is a very important moment, a very important visa by rushes of leader and terms of strengthening friendly ties and also showing to the whole world that despite tremendous efforts by the west and countries to isolate russia, mosca is ad is saying, but cutoff back to you yeah, a lot of key moves playing out right now the global g. busy political chessboard, as always, all to use middle east bureau, a cheaper if an ocean australia you thank you for that. but this comes as an earlier on wednesday. it's not in my food and met with is, are you a counterpart in abu dhabi? the is rarely published and it will basically topic the agenda. and the u. a. e, the russian president was great who the national capital with a very well welcome. on the

in the following footage here on the skies above above the capital that painted white, blue and red, the streets, one line with the 2 countries flags, smoking, flooding, they put into arrival to the new a new presidential palace. and then some of his 1st remarks, the russian president, outlined by lateral cooperation with the u. 8 english at the machine. you look at it, thanks to your position today. our relations are at an unprecedented level. the u.

a is russia's main trade partner in the world. last year, the trade turnover rose by 67.7 percent. it will be even larger this year. i think the same goes with investments. we conduct a number of large oil and gas projects. we also co operate in opec plus we co operate in the international arena, the u. a. he contributes a lot in stabilizing the situation in the world, being a non permanent member of the un security council. if anything has seemed to be from the behind the closed doors of the palace, which you can, you can probably still make out in the background over the very beautifully. let's help against the night sky of abu dhabi. but if they were anything close to what we've seen when vladimir putin arrived here to the capital of the weight. well said, lee, well, those this would be breathtaking as were the views because when jets painted the skies in the colors of the russian flags when the motorcade of latin,

a booty joined, the escorts of well of cavalry and the streets were lined up by russian flags again and the russian national anthem sounded right before the tulips began. well that those pictures were certainly a bitter pill to swallow. for anybody who were advocating for the version that russia has been sidelined at the bottom approved and has become an outcasts. but he has been shop to the fringes of international diplomacy and will both write them approval in his counterpart here, they have stressed how close guitar is between the countries up rule, the way is the major economic partner for russia in the regions. if you take uh, oil trade alone, the last yeah, uh the increase was about what seemed fact more than a 100 percent. so it certainly seems that russia has figured out the answer to the equation into the challenge of that is posed by the western sanction to which have been trying to cripple rushes energy, trade, and rushes energy markets,

and all these willing words. they have been reciprocated by again, the counterparts of latimer put me here in abu dhabi relations between the russian federation and the we have a historical character in recent years. relations have been actively developing in various fields in the interest of both countries and peoples. i would like to emphasize that i very much appreciate your personal and effective role in strengthening bilateral relations. in this regard, i would like to say that the u. e is rushes largest trading partner in the middle east in the gulf region. and that will be happy to continue our joint work to strength and bi lateral cooperation in various fields. well, these pillars visa storage pillars. they provide a fantastic foundation for russia and the, and the way to grow their relations. i have to say, i remember that the way he was invited to join the break to lions, which has already seen some expansion this year. and, well, the way you might be

a very welcome member here given to russia has been nurturing they spaby, nurturing this uh, economic and political block from its cradle. and by the way, another country that brought them is, in fact right now is en route to saudi arabia received a very, very similar invitation. many of the top russian officials of also being in attendance to promote a cooperation in their own sectors. the ceo of the russian direct investment funds spoke about how rusher under you a finance projects that of vital for each other's nation, which allows up a very important trip at a very important time for our bricks, plus partners in our opec partnership in our partners, in the south who interact well with russia by the investment agenda is also streamline important here because mutual investments, united or countries in the russia direct investment fund has focused from the very beginning on attracting investors and is focused on building deep relations with

them. and this allowed us and the u. e to jointly make 60 very significant important investments in various sectors of the russian economy. of these more than 20 investments or investments from scratch, that is we actually built companies and rush it from scratch with the u. a. and as a result of this work, over 500000 jobs were created, such as large scale work on the infrastructure projects like our central ring road and for for technological projects. we invested together in the data center and russia. we also work together on medical projects together we have built the largest cancer diagnostic and control center in the moscow region. therefore, this investment agenda is extremely important with the u, a. e. and just as important was saudi arabia with saudi arabia. we're announcing for the 1st time that we're in our partners plan to increase our investments with saudi arabia by another $10700000000.00 over the next 2 years. it talks about,

i was speaking a bit earlier in the program with highlighted photography, a professor of the outside of the university in saudi arabia. and he says, the russian president is in good company as if it's just the persian gulf. i thought listen for yourself. we are independent states and we have to draw on our policies and our relation to national relationships according to our interest and according to the kind of uh, random is and the state of buttons of our partners and russia so far through a very good to me in many ways, i mean in all things last, for example, in this stance, towards the se, in issues are of issues after uh, is really impatient guys. uh, and uh, listed instead, uh, uh, some sorting. he's invasion,

especially of eric. uh you. okay. uh, germany and others and uh on the status of a flush um, which is the statements and actions. uh, in fact uh he is more of luck today than any other uh, uh, wish to our leaders now ask also it has to be another side of wide spread devastation. the palestinian authority is called on the united nations to stop is riley aggression. quoting his actions organized, covered with it as calm as israel says it's reached the hearts of the southern gauze and city of con eunice saying it will not stop there. now reports set that at least 40 palestinian civilians were killed and the latest is rarely strikes and the southern city of hon. unice and attacks. and that area had been ramping up despite it being called a safe stone. and the un has cited as well as saying its conducted more than 10000 strikes since the start of the war october. the 2nd,

the un has said there are serious concerns about whether israel is complying with international humanitarian law. so we went to speak with survivors in a fun, eunice. i don't know what happened exactly. if there was an explosion, i was hitting the head by the trouble. i immediately threw myself to the ground floor who was sitting and suddenly striking it. and it was truck on the head by phone installing the coming up. my sister had 8 children. she flight from on during the bombardment and took shelter here and does nearby areas were being hit. she had a seizure, died of a stroke. she's to 5 by 8 children, and the father is displaced, trying to make a living. what's all i can tell him apart. meanwhile, the central godson, city of the l. bala, a dozens of bodies report to the actual hospital. the grim consequence of the continued is rarely strikes the. 2

the 73 people repeatedly killed as a result that's according to god's as health ministry. many are still remotely tracked waiting for rescue teams and sometimes that can take days. so for now, the story of what one young girl had to endure and then uh, i spent 4 days trapped onto the rubble without any food or water. i didn't even have a small bottle of water. i tried to crew out, but the rocks and concrete blocks left deep wounds. the last night before the shedding took place, each family was a never even when i woke up, i felt pain in my neck as if i was sleeping on a rock. when i opened my eyes, i found a will just over me. i slept again because i was feeling so much pain and apocalyptic situation. that's how un human rights commission of all could tuck, says his colleagues, describe the humanitarian crisis and guns. my 2 men to tear and colleagues have

described the situation as apple collected in these circumstances. there is a height increase of atrocity crimes. measures need to be taken urgently, both by the parties concerned, and by all the states, particularly those with influence. to prevent any such crimes or hear people in the city of hot here in a space between grabbing whatever they can from the united nations aid warehouse. it's a rush to get even just the basics. one of the well, one of the most needed things, just drinking water that's in very high demand. here we spoke to the palestinian red present societies, folks, person develops officer. we talk about what the people need, but still don't have it has been over 2 months and those teams how working tirelessly i'm searching, see, trying to continue providing the lines, tv services. i can tell you how much i what cookies are over when exhausted,

and eager to traumatize. they have me ready is that they will never forget whatever . what is going on in the background is beyond description. it's hard to break and over one meaning to see over to me, the civilians are suffering because of this continuous explanation. people under their own civilians are paying the high price of this installation. we have management and we are receiving aid in coordination with the egyptians or the crescent, the throne crossing border. what have leads up to this moment is barely for the use of what was interesting before this is felicia. i don't a 1900. it drops barely scratch the surface of any of it doesn't even 20 for 10 percent of the needs. and now the situation and the so how become the was kept as specific as one is forcing people again to evacuate from

kindly with this and go tell us why people should go is already passed. there is no less to please for anyone. and on top of that, people don't have access to nothing. if you are going to go to, you're going to stay in the streets because already when sensors are past a number of disturbing confirmations of medical workers, humanitarian work is actually being targeted in gaza. of course, if i was speaking to in his riley gas drug, now they would say that's nonsense. it's not true. the idea is only doing precision strikes. but when you look at the numbers of, of 815000 people killed so far over 40000 injured, it's just, it's almost impossible to get your head around the bottom. i wanted to ask you to obviously you with the palestinian red crescent society just on, on a personal level. one of the main problems that your facing day to day in your job

and about since the beginning of the escalation after this moment we have looked for critics with killed by and the is really. ringback imagery is just the beginning of the escalation when they were on the duty trying to save other people's life 3 days ago into a valley off. is there an occupation forces opened, fired at 2 count, assigned to the crescent and didn't says when they were transporting. when did they find a dress by ukraine's president to us lawmakers was suddenly cancelled on tuesday. that isn't meant concerns in washington nova sending get more weapons in cash to key of off to the failed counter, offensive against roster and admit of course the, the military build up in the middle east. we're discussing this area with all to is marina cause we have a here in the studio. is it the case of the landscape given the cold shoulder to his best bodies in washington because, but he's telling us back on them. what do you think here you could say that it because it's been a month and congress can seem to their son that or is there

a can agree on whether it's a sons ukraine, more money or not. we know, of course, that democrats are really pushing for a lot of where's the landscape, his top rated and officials said that they're in danger of losing the war against russia. if they don't get that to you at, at the same time. this is the briefing where they were supposed to push things forward. button savanski, it was a no show in the home made and itself, the son events of tales. because according to read on certain things, established the discussion got so heated that at one point. so just as tom kaufman then kevin kramer, which housing questions that the senior bind administration officials in the room, including secretary of state anthony blinking psychiatry of defense, lloyd allstate and the joint chiefs of stuff. chem and charles que brown, junior south a was due to the fact that the senator is wont answer as regarding a and they don't really see ukraine, even with the us money being able to break flu, russia and you have a public and say, okay, we will both in favor of more money to ukraine,

contingent on reforms when it comes to the asylum system and fights and border security. but then the democrats said both republicans hijacked this entire briefing a made that all about our own issues that we have in the united states. instead of about you frayne and aid there, and republicans just had an off and they ended up leaving the me, some people go south and beats out because this is a waste of time. they just said, this isn't worth it. this is a joke. you're not serious about this. and now these are the people who were supporting all of these 8 packages, c crane, and now they're saying the waters happening at this point. so they were the ones who was supporting it. but what about the ones who were critical? congressmen, thomas massey, went on the talk across and showing he said lots of interesting things among them. the fact that it was the west that was behind, not the revolution, but over the crew in ukraine all the way back in 2014. and i've been voting against

these resolutions in ukraine and the money going to ukraine since 2014, in 2014, we helped to overthrow their elected government. and we were saber rattling against russia. and i said, listen, the sanctions and the saber rattling and these resolutions, they're going to have consequences and they have had and consequences. naturally. there are concerns when it comes to all this money going to ukraine. and these are concerns are echoed by another representative. for example, scott perry, we're just not going to keep writing blank checks to the most corrupt country on the planet for the sake of feeling good. and for the sake of democrats and whatever you want to call these republicans, that demand that the american taxpayer go further into debt for this things. well, the democrats, of course, are all about pushing for more aid from our weapons to be sent to ukraine, because they say the stakes are high. the stakes, meaning, there cannot be a scenario in which russia can be seen when my level of frustration about the lack of seriousness from republicans is due to the stakes that we're dealing with. and

the stakes are whether ukraine exist 12 months from now, or is a part of russia. we know that they are benefiting from this. the military industrial complex in the united states is just making a so much profit. and we know that it's in their favor to continue this. and as we know, they have a very strong lobby in washington. and while time goes or flattering of a military aid at the us senate, the ukraine has also been losing supporters in europe. the german defense minister has gone as far as explained that, but it is not even in the ally of key of so russia's foreign ministry spokesman pointed out at that and took note of it saying that is a complete utah and for that german official german defense minister borders the story is said that germany is not an ally of ukraine. bornea unpack the new loafers he had been given last christmas and changed his shoes. and as a west and officials flag concerns about security, finding washington and t. if

a report leaving shifting the blame for the failure of ukraine's counter offensive against russia, let's take a long, hard look at this with all these shot at duke. it's over, ukraine has lost on we have to accept that. that's a general fee not being branded in editorials and all fades across the western world. but before she have officially waves the white flags, the nit picking where it went wrong has begun. top of the pine is an investigation by the washington post. it's a sec did the face of the much hyped come to offensive speaking to move the 13th senior officials for me, crane the us and europe. the picture that appears to be new, less than shambolic, both sides took about an air of frustration that was concent. second guessing, and despite so like escape confidently projecting a decisive victory intelligence community in the us said that there was only

a 5050 chance of success even before the offensive was launched. it was clear nato allies couldn't provide ukraine, will take long to it's in an exchange between the us defense secretary lloyd austin and ukraine's top military commander, austin aust, what do you need so loosely responded that he required a 1000 armored vehicles and 9 new brigades trained in germany and ready for battle, i took a big gulp. austin said later, according to an official with knowledge of the call that's near impossible. also in that was the supply of thoughts. hillary shells have was expected to bloom through $90000.00 or more a month. but us production was badly a tense of that. it was just math, the former senior official said at a certain point, we just wouldn't be able to provide them with the officials also told the kids, the pro choice,

the wrong one. the americans had long question. the wisdom of cubes, decision to keep forces around the besieged, eastern city and back. promote ukrainian side. differently, backbone calls had become shorthand for pride in their troops, fierce resistance against the bigger enemy. the city finally fell to russia in may . will gain simulations convinced the west in quaint, needed to focus its efforts on a single strategic objective. but he has thought it new back to the illusion and vision into making the formidable length of the 600 mile front. a problem for russia. western official solve problems with that approach which would also diminish the fire power of ukraine's military at any single point of attack, western military doctrine dictated the concentrated push towards a single object of the americans yielded. however, the investigation reveals to binding was briefed early on the counter offensive could very likely fail. ukraine was frustrated, too, with its allies promised equipment. it moaned arrived late to i'm fit for the

battlefields. a lot of weapons that are coming in now. they were relevant last year the senior ukrainian military official said not for high tech babbles that had crucially, he said they had received only 15 percent of items like the mind clearing line charge launchers needed to execute their plan to remotely cut passages through the mine fields. washington, however, it tells it differently, saying t i've got every thing it was promised on time. it was ukraine's fault. official say if there were issues, the pentagon concluded that ukrainian forces were failing to properly handle him in pain all the equipment after it was received. what's clear is despite the rhetoric but ukraine would win this battle with russia for me, earlier stages there was always doubt to clean it seems, was due to fail from the start nato allies knew this and yet gave it just enough

right to hung itself with both sides now shifting the blame to one another. all right to iran now where the middle eastern countries launched, what it describes as a bio science cops fuel into space. and the mission is part of preparations for potential mine the space. why? let's get the details right now from the iranian capital. with our correspondent yusef gym. it all says it has taken the 1st step towards conducting manned missions . the space. the country is successfully placed into our beth. it's late as buyers pays capsule, while the domestically build something on launcher. the 500 kilogram capsule lifted off on wednesday to raise the heights of 130 kilometer above the earth's surface. the main goal of the project stated by iranian i t officials, is to enhance and diversify the countries space technologies in different areas of this space industry. it will still a, comes minister, it solves,

all right. poor set to one will soon conduct subordinates all tests of the noun generation of maya capsules, hoping that they will bring the country closer to it, some vision to carry out manned space meshes. this has a claim that if everything goes as planned, that one will be able to send humans displays in 5 to 6 years. what's also significant here is that the recent launch was carried out using a fully indigenous launch or dump side of mon. it was manufactured by the aerospace industry's organization, a subsidiary of the one in defense ministry. in recent years, we have been hearing more about give on space program, which is again, one of the hardest fits why western sanctions. the country stepped rather late into the realm of space deck, but it has been making some significant headways. of course, they won't send it. so i'll send you into our breakfast 1st, bio capsule containing living creatures in february 20 to and using it's home drawn commer scattered carrier. it is also developed and placed into orbit

a range of research, telecom and imaging satellites. in 2020, it shot into space. it's 1st military satellite, dump new or using an indigenous we'd be able to face satellite carrier dumped bloss said in late september, it won't last the latest version of its military satellite w 3, which was torque reactions from the us corresponding back then the launch vehicles . it won't use us to send it satellites, could potentially employed in the development of nuclear weapons. this, as one has dismissed such allegations saying, why keeps no clear activities? it's phase program 6 only civilian purposes. it's got some updates. now, can you just me coming in to us here at all? see an assassination that has been carried out on a government official and the new guns were public. according to local authorities, a car was blowing up and the guns said he sent a nearest board stadium. o leg pop off for an m p and the regional peoples council was report like.
