8:05 pm
from the scene. we are the russian hill, $76.00 plain crush site fields around me is this post with metal fragments, but actually parts of the plane, human bodies and load parts of the human bodies. and a lot, i think every which really, every emergency service is here, ministry of defense, local government f, as the investigation committee, we will get the more you're looking at the footage of the very moment. the plane exploded, the pilots reported they stayed away from the village below to minimize casualties . an eye witness in the area had this to say about the incident. the pilots directed the plane away, they are heroes. there was a school nearby. children were studying. the plane crashed into a field, the village was not effected. everything is cordoned off there. there is no way to get there. according to local officials,
8:06 pm
no one on the ground was injured residents to spread the movements the plane defended from the sky. a very small, a section. i was very skid. i would like to things apply, which would the items if i understand that he has a family good rest your soul, condolences to his family. but i would like to thank you for saving us when you say themselves died, but saved the village to switch to the fish. we had a strong rumble, went outside as will smoke on fire. we had the 2nd explosion. it turned out to be much loud. we'll run out and looked, thinking people would need our help. the plane crashed far beyond the village. it was very loud and scary. dark mode. we saw a red object through the window and opened an object free by then an explosion or bread flash. and that was it, we didn't see anything exact in the explosion that we heard was an expression about 3 kilometers from the village. and the cost of the kid was just some sort of explosion that so we didn't know what it was. we were endorse. sure, at 1st i heard the roar of
8:07 pm
a plane engine. i opened the window to listen. it was in that loud. i looked up and saw an explosion. black smoke on fire, then a 2nd explosion with white smoke. i went outside the street was covered in a blanket of smoke, which i didn't know. it was a plane. i didn't see it. we also spoke to the mother of one of the deceased crew members. she says his son and the team were close and always had each of us back to the chief little shooting. the guys had a very good team and they did well coordinate his work and supported, he showed up to my son was a very confident of fine. and in my opinion, ill heroes, their grains main directories of intelligence says it had no information about landing a transport at craft. so close to the was a, it accused russia of deliberately trying to destabilize ukraine. and we can the country's international support. my colleague will resume shea, discuss the latest with our tea correspondence, charlotte dimansky,
8:08 pm
and they admit that they was due to be an exchange of prison is full. so ukraine has confirmed the cost of the story, but they say they have had no reliable information as to who may have been on the call go play and that was full time. they also say rush, it didn't inform them how to present this one. we're going to be transported to the region rush just as it did. it says it's a standard procedure to transport prisoners of war on military cost, on immune statement. they say as a result of ukraine, not knowing how they're being transported. and this is really key. they say they don't need to know that the space around fellow garage needed to be kept safe. it's not his mission that it was ukrainian missile, but it is old. but if we don't need to keep the safe space in the why would we in addition to that, we have had evidence that kevin was aware that they was due to be present as well
8:09 pm
on wednesday, january 24th, which is today. this came from the intelligent spokes person who was given your name to be to free re do, you are confirming that it was the way the prisoner exchange between russia and ukraine was suppose to take place today. on the 24th of january, a representative of the ukrainian main intelligence directorate, andre yourself told radio liberty. i can state that the exchange plan for today is not taking place. he said the important that it was due to take place. it's not taking place. you have to $1.00 to $1.00 at the same time. we've had comments coming up now, former ukrainian parliamentarian who is absolutely furious with the situation. have a listen to this one ukrainian m p who up until now has been fairly supportive of presence. savanski had to say, it's a tony. everyone is sitting around keeping quiet,
8:10 pm
but we're the defense minister is nowhere in sight. the presidential office is out of contact. everyone has to be heads up through keeping quiet and just watching and waiting for someone to blame this on. of course, when you're sitting in warm flaps in kiev and levels, it's really comfortable to think about what is grades and historic really, a very strong statement, accusing them up, essentially hashing up the situation. what about the allegations that's actually coming out of moscow? the west in ms. i'll swear you to attack this a russian illusion. transport cross. do you have any more details about that? yeah, so obviously we've had the russian m o d statement which is describe this as being a terrorist act. and we've heard from rule make is in russia who made claims that there was more than one ms file that was aimed towards displaying that. there was also a secondary plan that was also carrying peer deputies that manage to divert south of the area. we're not sure where those have gone now and also besides you station
8:11 pm
that it's not just any weapons that we use to in this attack. this missile attack was actually weapons that came from the west. let's bring you both of those little make us have to say in regards to that, just similar to the issue. a lot of this is an act of terrorism. it is a plan and prepared action that cannot be viewed in any other way. this is the murder of their own soldiers who are being transported to be handed over. the training and leaders are terrace, fascist. they are people without shame, without conscience. and without any morals, they simply do not have them. all right, get them in. i made it cons, gimme a mean american in germany, me sell shot their soldiers in the year their own. their mothers awakened their way through wasting their children for waking the pilots of our military transport aircraft for carrying out a humanitarian mission and were defenceless. people were shot with rockets less prefer and appealed to the us congress and the german boone to stock so that the deputies can finally realize where their funding and helping it's and not to resume
8:12 pm
fed by biting crohn's shots and other politicians that must realize responsibility and the piece must be impeached them with you put that there. well, if you claim does come out and admit that it did carry out a missile strike and it did the full kill some of it. so 65 please. in front of the fine. of course, this would be a massive problem for kids for present, so that in scale, so something that he won't have to just justify to create new people, but also possibly west and back is what about anything in the ukrainian media? all they touching the story and if they are touching the story of it's after off coming down, how are they touching? well, they have been covering it, but interesting a we've had a change of headlines and quite dramatic and not long off the we were aware that this crash had taken place. or you quincy, a proffer with profit, which is one of the main papers, suggested that they had sources within new cleaning on me, claiming it was a miss all. and they carried this attack at that quickly was deleted,
8:13 pm
and it was due to a very blonde head line. and we don't know the reasons for that. however, there are some suggestions of what could have changed that situation. one is a statement from the queen and only, but someone wanting citizens not to draw a prep, mature conclusions to own a trust official source is also we have a statement from the coordination h q of the treatment of prisoners, which is a government departments in ukraine. saying that they shouldn't the mass media warning them and citizens again, not to be posting things that aren't coming from official sources. but this is problematic because in ukraine there are no real official sources at the moment. at least giving a key for perspective on this situation. the russian ministry of defense has published a video of one of the ukrainians on board the ill fated flight. the footage was found in 2022 and appeared to have the prison of what we're talking about. he's
8:14 pm
experienced with your current income under as a note here, he may have been speaking on the dress, a similar shows those i wanted to live. those we are considered as cannon fodder. everyone understands why our leadership treats us so coldly. they don't explain anything. they just throw us on the battlefield. more than 15 people came plus the lieutenant was over 10. don't know anything about military affairs. there were a couple of people who had previously served in an afghani, a 55 year old grandfather who was half shell shock. there were rumors about this battalion that'd sacrifice his people. they do not take care about anything at all or whether they have served with or not, whether they can fight or not. they froze him on the battlefield. they hope that these units will hold people back. even if they can't do anything at all. so, care of us previously been accused of target in its own troops and back in 2022. several eastern and soldiers died in a number of attacks counted out by their own side, argues roman cusser,
8:15 pm
f. cover at the story. these are just some of the bodies of ukrainian soldiers, which were killed by their own ukrainian army overnight. now these guys, they've been killed by shrapnel. meanwhile, these guys right here, their bodies had been burned as a result of a strike. beyond recognition, criminal experts from russia and from the people's republic are now working on documenting. every single body of every ukrainian soldier, even on the ukrainian authorities, insisted on using this place of detention. it was discussed previously, so they knew perfectly well where the prisoners were being held and that's how they took the lives of their own soldiers. and so creating an army use high caliber high mars artillery systems when they struck this battery just after 2 o'clock at night . now there were at least $600.00 prisoners in this barrick alone. now,
8:16 pm
according to a russian and defensive industry, this was a pro vacation on the part of the ukrainian army, organized a rental force. a large number of ukrainian soldiers are laying down their weapons as they know about the humane treatment of military prisoners by russia. this outrageous provocation was aimed intimidating ukrainian soldiers and preventing them from surrendering over the last couple of weeks. the members of the nationalist, as on battalion, started giving witness accounts of balance at war crimes committed by them and their superiors. apparently, those war crimes were commissioned by the highest authority in key if, as the result they were punished by hi maurice or so they were wanted systems. and these are just some of the fragments of that high caliber shelf. early on, my colleague barbara sushi spoke with the russian military expert and political analyst alexander's the pano, have
8:17 pm
a listen to the conversation as we can analyze. so the real situation and what i can see as a military expos, surely it was an attack, it was a planned attack. and surely, uh, this, uh, some fragments of the ruckus right now. uh, that shows us that possibly was use the anto systems from united states matter of fact 2 or possibly uh, german iris t. mm. so if we will analyze the capacity for this, uh, those systems, for example, better for free as an operational distance about 160 kilometers. mm hm. if we uh, we'll analyze the distance between the belgrade and hanukkah, for example. it's about $7.00 to $5.00 to on the test and to the board. the russian and green in boulder about 37 kilometers. so cranial side could easily
8:18 pm
use. so those type of ontario are all systems that have been provided by the nato countries. and from the exactly the united states and germany. so what we can see those armaments that was provided to or defend so that i real suisse all 4 crane, were used in this terror attack. people were killed and some civilians couldn't be damaged before not the pilots, real heroes won't protect them and not change the course of the plane. does that mean now that the only tactics that key of has less basically random acts of tetra is. uh, not random. i think it says system and surely uh they lost on the proms line. uh, they don't have an estimate to physically i talking about was there. and surely now
8:19 pm
they're trying to make more media attacks to uh, book all the possible thoughts and do for have talking about the uncontrolled escalation. because if we will see the strategy all the need to be for all see the strategy over united states. they don't want to be some this region. they want to involve more excess. rush us foreign minister, saturday loud grove held a press conference on the incident during his visit to the un headquarters in new york. is a lever of accused a crane of deliberate nation down the plain carrying its own people as well as russian crew. members. i live in a sense, i have to start from yet another case of using terrace methods by the key of regime in the morning of the 24th of january. moscow times a russian hill, 76, transport plane was shot down while transporting 65 ukrainian military personnel from moscow to belgrade,
8:20 pm
accompanied by 3 russian officers and 6 crew members. all of them were killed. ukrainian prisoners were being moved to the belgrade region for the exchange that was agreed upon by moscow and kia instead, ukraine hit the plane with anti aircraft missiles from the harcourt region. right after the plane was shut down, key of cleans yet another victory for valiant ukrainian armed forces. but as soon as it became known that the plain was carrying ukrainian prisoners and cube officials didn't know that there was going to be an exchange. ukrainian propaganda immediately tried to cover up its joyful reports about the victory and is now trying to find some other explanation. the russian foreign minister began in his press conference by speaking about the downing of the prisoner of war plain and the situation surrounding that. he mentioned that russia has called a meeting, an emergency meeting of the un security council on this matter. however, it appears that france has blocked this meeting from taking place. they've used
8:21 pm
their power as the acting president of the un security council to prevent this emergency meeting requested by russia from moving ahead. as the russian foreign ministers press conference was taking place on telegram. we heard from the deputy ambassador dmitri pulley and ski, then he said that he really hoped france would not do as had been done previously. regarding the boots incident, i had the opportunity to ask the russian foreign minister about the anti russian rhetoric. we've heard from both american media and american politicians. and if this means that they are possibly psyching up the population for all out war against the country, here's some of what he said when answering my question, you sure status. i hope that there are still smart people in the us bite and say that a few cream loses russia will go to the baltic states, finland, and so on. president prudent has already commented on this matter, saying we have no desire or need to attack anyone's leader militarily, nor politically, nor economically. we would have had no need to launch
8:22 pm
a special military operation if there had been no coo and ukraine. and then when the mens could agreements were signed, it turned out that no one was going to honor them except put in the special military operations became inevitable after years of trying to convince the west that there is no need to create a direct threat to russia on our borders, we also heard from the russian foreign minister regarding the situation in the middle east. in particular, how israel continues it's bombardment of gaza and how the united states has played a very negative role in this whole situation. preventing humanitarian aid from being delivered, enabling israel to carry out it's ongoing atrocities. and essentially, over the course of years, not going along with what russia has been pushing for all this time, which is a road to palestinian statehood. you described some of russia's diplomatic efforts to resolve the palestine question and russia's approach to the middle east and the boiling tensions of that region here is some of what he had to say. see to do it
8:23 pm
easily. it's, it's a for all these long decades. they have talk circles around the necessity of establishing a palestinian state and tried to dissolve it and have the initiatives if the same patterns to be repeated. now we will be so in the seeds of get another conflict. in another outbreak of violence to us, it seems absolutely essential that efforts are made to restore palestinian unity. the off house to me and factions come together and announced the restoration of the pals to me and people of which will be a solid foundation for a future palestinian state that's good. now to me, blink. and was recently in the middle east. he said the south africa's lawsuit against israel and the international court is just strapped in the global community's attention. so from resolving the palestine, israel conflicts claiming they are given attention, but it is being distracted. we haven't seen any attention from the us. now we also heard from the russian foreign minister regarding the aspect of the history of the
8:24 pm
region that doesn't seem to get acknowledged every time the united states has overthrown or do you stabilize the country, often in the name of its war on terror. the result has been more instability, more terrorism, and the expansion of instability and terrorist forces within the region. i touched on how the record of the united states in the region is just not good in the united states. doesn't seem to really be making things better for any part of the middle east. here's what we heard from the russian foreign minister took aside. so then you should be able to use this as for the current crisis and the implications of us policy in the region. they're equally understood by all not a single campaign that washington has undertaken over the last decades referencing it's fundamental security interest, even 10000 miles across the atlantic, where it has added security threatened not a single campaign has resulted in a better life for the country that was attacked,
8:25 pm
some countries practically don't exist. libya, for example, it statehood has been completely destroyed, interact, everyone knows how shamefully american diplomacy tried to justify this aggression completely failing to do so with its so called physical evidence. incidentally, the islamic state emerged after this invasion of iraq and veron lies the us influence on the middle east. they tell everyone that they will deal with it all themselves. speaking of the palestinian israeli conflict, they stopped the courts, head of international mediators, and took everything on themselves. we see how that ended. this is just another example of the situation when american leadership brings tragedy lever. i've also discussed the crisis on the korean pending. so, and the rising tensions there and a recurring theme throughout his remarks was that in many countries that were once colonized have now established their own independence. they've started to walk on their own 2 feet and develop their own economies. and it seems like the united states is not willing to accept that the rise of the bricks,
8:26 pm
nations and the bricks, economic union, the independence of various countries from the former colonized world and their desire to participate and join with countries like russia in china, in the process of development seems to be something that the western leaders are actively trying to prevent, trying to stop the new global economy. that is emerging, the world is simply not centered around wall street in london anymore. and there is a new economy emerging around the world. this was a theme that came up throughout the russian foreign ministers remarks talking about how the united states is essentially trying to hold off the future that is breaking through across the planet. the communion president abraham rice is met his turkish counterparts. red chip type are due on during an official visit to anchor of the data is discussed. the key points of corporation and the ongoing conflicts and gaza are to know the don't want dixie bye. a just president. so just saw you right on. and his iranian called concert pause ever, i am,
8:27 pm
right. so you have much today and on the, on the sidelines are high level so to you, um full price and concealed the truly, this has been discussing, regional and international, as well as signing about some agreements mainly in the fields of trade. energy call to us into the sure, as you have just witnessed, we have signed 10 you agreements with the run to develop our relations. this really does have also mentioned the importance of increasing bilateral trade between the 2 countries. president had one said that they're aiming about $30000000000.00 pilots from trade between the 2 countries in the upcoming years, one of the other main topics of world war in gaza. they have been bullying on the escalating tension in the middle east, catching the tension on the importance of the lease and the lease. and how are the
8:28 pm
escalating tension? move also affects the board during 2 countries and other countries in the middle east. the cause issue. we exchange views with my dear brother mister, right. you see on the latest developments in palestine, syria, iraq, i've got his son and saw them caucasus. and the palestinian issue is central for both to key and the wrong. during our talks with this cause the need for an immediate and israel is in human attacks on garza and the need to take certain steps to establish a just and lasting peace. we reiterate to our support for the just case fell this time and renewed our determination to continue our corporation in this regard to our home telephone cut off on all relations and trade or the israel. that was one of the main lines. and right is the speech today
8:29 pm
small, medium can we believe the limits thing? the relationship with design is through gene can be effective in a period when these organizations do nothing. therefore we have no doubt that measures should be taken to deter design a stream. and it's atrocities, certainly the cutting of the vital arteries of design in stream and improving political and economic relations can be effective in forcing it to end all these atrocities these way. um, some of the main headlines from today's meeting between texas presidents ridge of type idle and his iranian concert pods. pricey man's, although i'm talking to people of taking to the streets of brandon cyrus to protest the controversial policies of newly elected president hobby. underlay a correspondent from us as the channel. our tape, spanish sentenced this report. the. this is the 1st general
8:30 pm
strike under the government of javier mealy, organized by the general confederation of labor. a consideration that brings together many trade unions. today's call was also answered by social collectives, organizations and political parties on mobilizing against the radical reforms being promoted by heavier me lays government. people rally here because of the changes to the decree on labor law regarding trade unions and to push for a relaxation of working conditions. the worsening of the economic situation has, however, added to these motivations above all else. the recent evaluation by the libertarian freedom advances party government resulted in high inflation. and this had an impact on people's wages because they were unable to keep up with the inflation rate. here's what some of the protesters had to say, what again, the prices went up in life to our faces by you. they want to sell the country to sell everything. we have an ad i.
