the, the russian forces push ahead at the front of the clearing mines left by a retreating ukrainian soldiers. while the french president doubles down on calls this send troops to you frame and sparks controversy for trying to get nato allies on board with the also coming up, as india says, it's stepping up trade with russia in defiance of western pressure. we sit down to discuss the prospect with the salesperson of india is really not the patient front of missing board. he does not see any certificate part dictation from the rest of the work regarding it at a time with russia or any other kind of recall that might do. and also among the

week's big story zimbabwe kicks are the controversal us aid agency from the country . dr. washington slop sanctions on the african nations. trump officials the live for most go this sunday, march the 10th welcome to the review of the weeks big news stories and right up to the moment developments as well. we begin with the ukraine conflict, where most schools say's its troops are advancing on the southern front of the photos, the region. the russian defense ministry has released frontage of its engineers, clearing the broad from ukrainian mines and other munitions, the

fatal nurse. this was taken as a trophy by a comrade roof during the advance on the same front. it's an american grenade. and this is a german split, a grenade. will someone put to the enemy mostly uses em 70 mines? these are american mines. they are deployed remotely, approaching them is forbidden, just and so on. i mean you to a such remote mining affects the magnetic field of the therefore, such minds are the most difficult to destroy theirs. as you do not know how close you can approach them. therefore, we have to use some new technologies of our own, and we figure out how to destroy it all and see that from the point troops to ukraine, if russian forces advance towards key of or odessa. that's according to the french president speaking behind closed doors with local party leaders and part of this

week earlier and money on my chrome tried to rally fellow you politicians for a possible military intervention. but there appears to be little off a time for that in neighboring germany. is that the whole don't? we have certainly approaching the time in europe when we must not be cowards. we never want to see the dramas to come. the fact that war has returned to us soil the powers that have become on stuff people are extending the threat every day attacking us. so we have to be meet the challenge of history and match the coverage that implies who can offer more. who is more coverage is who is more, whatever it is, not about them who wants to do more. you have to focus on that. this is what you've drained, really needs the most. we don't need to really, from my perspective, at least discussions about boots on the ground are be more to having more coverage or less coverage. this is something which does not really help solving the issues

we have last month. press them, i call sent shock waves across the west. when he said nato could send cribson to your great grandsons, reportedly started training. it's the easiest for a potential launch with a powerful opponent, but the countries allies are in no rush to do the same with several states. open leasing. they've got no such months after the french leader double dialing on his calls, washington reiterated. it's refusal to the boots on the cross words and he certainly has every right inability to speak for himself and his views. all i can do is speak for president by the commander in chief and the president has been clear. we have been extraordinarily strong in leading international efforts to support you credit the last 2 years. he's also been very clear since the very beginning of this war. there's not going to be us troops on the ground fighting inside you create any will. this all comes against the backdrop, open,

intercepted call, released archie that revealed an explosive conversation between top german general . it's not. they discuss plans to send long range missiles to break, to destroy rushes, crime in bridge. berlin admitted the call was authentic, but his also tried to shift the blame for the scandal to the criminal. a good us, that's the telephone. i mean, the reason that the phone call could still be recorded in the ranks of the air force is due to an individual application error. not all participants adhere to the secure dialing procedure as prescribed. according to current knowledge, data was leaked from the participant in singapore. he was connected via an, an authorized connection i. e, virtually via an open connection. this is exactly what putting wants to achieve over the course of several months, or at least several weeks. he sets the agenda for what we're discussing here in germany, whether it is support for ukraine in one form or another,

how successful ukraine is, whether it can win the war or not at the time and time again. this is an agenda imposed from outside by certain events. i am very angry about this story, among other things because we have been dealing with only this topic for 3 days to pull on monday, the german i'm positive, there was someone to the russian foreign ministry to offer an explanation. he declined to get any comments as he was sworn by journalists upon entering the building. berlin has been scrambling for damage control after the leak call was released by our teeth editor in chief last week. not just a reminder, in that 30 a 2 minute conversation. german or for staff, including 2 generals, laid out their plans to send tal risk cruise missiles to you frame the discuss potential targets, including the crime in bridge and said it would take dozens of missiles to bring it

on. the verified call also saw them mulling over how to ensure a plausible deniability for berlin itself. the commission also came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets the bridge in the east and the munition depos above the originally east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the torres can do it. the ammunition depots can also be hit. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us part of the conflict. might i'm exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from poland and all so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that on monday. do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own? after all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. the league call proves that germany is preparing military

operations against russia is the direct conclusion from the russian foreign ministry spokesman re, is the heart of a slum berlin's intentions. and also pointed out how similar moods ended for the european country during world war 2. those still will be evelyn uh and then what was presented to the world community shows the long time and plans intentional. the need to country gemini, to conduct the military operations against the russian federation. it was literally described step by step how terrorist attacks against civilian infrastructure would be carried out. and the speakers will clearly aware of the fact that they were discussing the bombing of we civilian bridge. and they specifically spoke on this topic saying that the bridge is of great political importance. that is b z, c should know, tying in the yeah. and we proceed from the fact the gemini is obliged to give explanations. there should be an open conversation between violin,

between germany specials and their own population, and excuse me, with the entire international community. because what the whole world has hud, and this, oh dear recording is presented in its original races and a numerous number of questions for germany in general, especially forgive me the very german officials who are there on this recording. he remind each other of the glorious as a belief post of their lift waltz and what is the score this post of the lift wall fish. if they talk about the previous call, i'm about to experience. it's the 2nd world war. and it turns out the experience of those he is still alive today. and this still winning to applies, but it's a different dimensional altogether received board any issue, but the we will well moving away from the use of officials to citizens. and polls show that more germans pay for an end to the ukraine conflict through a negotiated settlement versus seeing the fighting dry god that's as active as from the e. u countries. free sucks and the party filed the lawsuit against the military stuff

called red helm. did not lead conversation accusing them of trying to carry out an act of aggression as the revolution spread around the world, berlin has been struggling to contain the full, like, let's listen to the take on that's from our to contributor rachel marston. so it's real, the german government tells the western press the half hour long tape of germany's air force. chief, plodding with fellow military brass to deliver long range torres missiles to ukraine and blow up the crime in bridge in a way that gives chancellor off schultz plausible deniability is indeed authentic. they got caught wanting to launch themselves down the slippery slope towards direct more with russia, but ended up hitting a snag ripping their pants and now their butts are hanging out for the entire world, the sea and the opposition. christian democrats are not keen on tossing. everyone involved

a bathrobe for modesty. the reports of strange in 2 respects on the one hand, security related conversations are obviously being overheard by the russians. on the other hand, the chancellor may justify his rejection of taurus deliveries with a misrepresentation. the federal chancellor must explain himself to the bundis tag . in this situation, the committee of inquiry cannot be excluded so much for all that plausible deniability that was being built up in the boonies died recently with all that theater where sources government voted down and opposition resolution to specifically give you frame tours missiles only to then introduce their own motion instead that more vaguely specified long range weapons without explicitly mentioning the key word, defense minister boris. his stories didn't even know what was in that motion. he said, because, well, he didn't write, it may be, it includes torres is or maybe it doesn't. who knows?

not the german defense minister. in any case, not that anyone with stopping schultz or pin stores or their government from explicitly outlined to transfer to ukraine of german missiles of exceptional 500 kilometer range capable of doing what it's french or british counterparts, couldn't. that is straight deep and sy russian territory, apparently they just couldn't be bothered explicitly writing it in. and now german politicians are spelling out why perhaps they showed us the top towns of legion boned to sweat offices with a gentleman through his me, solves taurus and russian territory on the compatible with basic law. no, with international law, these mountain, this must be stopped immediately from despair. generals are said to have made an assessment that the crime in bridge could be attacked with the german tourist missiles. the symbolic acts would drag germany deep into the war notes of torres delivery. the league effectively underscore as an unexplained discrepancy between army brass and what they're saying. on one hand,

i'm what schultz has been saying publicly about not wanting an escalation with russia over ukraine on the other. now the chancellor is demanding answers is just not very clear what exactly he's demanding answers to pass. that's not really what is being reported. there is a very serious matter, and that is why it is now being investigated very carefully, very intensively and very quickly that is also necessary. what's the more upset about the fact that his own military was plotting against what he claims are as explicit which is not to deploy tyrese's and even more explicitly contemplating a terrorist act against russia or the fact that everyone now knows about that. the bonus tag special commissioner to the military, eva whole goal from schultz has very own social democrat party sunset. the week itself is the real outrage and that it's the guys in charge of keeping military communications secure that need comprehensive training, not the high ranking german officers whose bit bawling about blowing stuff up risk

getting germany into yet another world war. the events of the last few days once again to how lot of them are poor doing is trying to have a mess of a negative influence. are now open society, especially in your money through these information disabled station and espionage. yeah. maybe after they finish looking into how put in for part of the we blew up his own gas supply to germany, then they can tackle the big mystery of how put in hijacked the mines of german military officers for a plot to blow up his own bridge. my 1st reaction to that was total, discuss they about us trying to turn the table around and the argument was, well, the, there was the scandal is not the contents. it's not the facts with high ranking offers of have total disregard for an of international conventions. have to go through this or even for security regulations, how ends, where they're shopped,

discuss such things. if they do, uh no, it's uh that the entire narrative. and the whole thing is, this, the scandal is the russians are apparently a recording such conversations. this, this from, from that perspective is the scandal and the defense minister of his torrijos stated last night. that's also these offices will not have any disciplinary measures. they will not be punished. maybe they will even be upgraded. uh, that's what i said, and that's there is so that the narrative has changed as no embarrassment. and so far, we have not seen any embarrassment when it came from the drummond side or from the partition in all of these scenarios, steps of involvement. now the volatile situation to run the example, rosie a nuclear power plant was discussed and saw cheat this week. but president, hosting international atomic energy agency chief, what i feel good us for talks,

the russian leaders said most of us doing everything possible to ensure the safety of the nuclear facility. mr. grossey, for his part, describe the talks as professional upfront. you printing and troops of shell, the territory of the power plant numerous times over the past 2 years. raphael grossing later spoke exclusively to r t. a not like what his agency is doing to help keep this site secure. we to me, since we established the mid 5 basic principles at the un security council that has been a direct showing on the plant itself. i've seen close the case before. so if that happened, now, my reaction would be very different. because now i have a mandate to look into this to ask questions to try to determine what has happened before. that was not the case because the i use the caps or how that simply a new get safety security remedy which was more,

which was narrower and more simple. now we have said the i a is going to be looking into the 6 and to the extent possible to indicate what has happened. there have been some minor episodes, dangerous, i would say in terms of perhaps some crow drones, a heating and that a go dar, which is the village near by the blind. my don't those we haven't been able to gather at, you know, we are apart from any of these. we are a group of inspectors and when we pronounce ourselves, it must be on the basis of our own independently gathered information. if i don't have enough, i can have it. i bought this is i do have like many people have, but i cannot say this has happened or point fingers when i don't tab for the elements in my hands to say,

this is clearly the source of the attack. i think here at the end of the day that is clarity on what are the consequences of something like this. and these is what i keep saying when we have the information. for example, that's, it happened just a few days ago for those sort of we would, we have been saying when we have the information intelligence information or any of the information that, that are meaning that the possibilities that there could be the teddy movement we, we ring the alarm bell and we say attention, we are watching. nothing should happen. and we are trying to play a deterrent role in these who are not perfect, maybe, but much better than nothing stable. i'm friendly. that's how india is. foreign policy chief has summed up relations with russia, made the backdrop of western pressure over the ukraine conflict. everyone conducts a relationship based on past experiences. if i look at the history of place,

the independence india, russia has never heard of our interest. we've always had a stable and very friendly relationship. and our relationship with moscow today is based on this experience. india is expanding cooperation with russia, the spike western sanctions against moscow, u. s. and e. u officials helping calling for a crust on indian in ports of russian. some of my colleagues saskia taylor talk with facebook to person for and the is really a big to do. you need to a party who spoke down at broke down how it last, sco new delhi are doing business in the finds the ratio appreciate his student and know, you know, face all kinds of lives and then videos, right? yeah, we did for india and media media for russia. the halls of sick to the starting from defense starting from investment in problems starting from the investment in boy,

starting to up into a while for us. yet. the important point in this is the foreign policy. you may not rush she all the way very important please. not be any pressure from wisdom or he does not see any certificates or dictations from the rest of the work regarding it's at a time of the russia or any other kind of default that might be able to continue to do engage with russia to explore the photos active off in the ohio column off the cream of defense, which has to be got really for long. but i do specifically want to ask you about a new dentist position. he's a visa ukraine complex. it's called president my chrome saying that would not ruling out sending west and troops to ukraine with harring taps of a job and officials talking about helping ukraine, low up russian infrastructure. you daddy says we want this conflict to be resolved

. do you see resolution coming before escalation at this point in time? is the trust of the global piece. the resolution of the conflict is the, be this, this is not the, for any a nation of who was all communities, basically a country to fire the fire or other. this is in the fire to control the fire. so the country which is a, the steve porter, this car click or off of the wall to the device or cause metrics so that both sides not on the d and b. so this will us pressure all officials across. i forget how sparked a fresh confrontation in zimbabwe. aurora, it has expelled the controversial us agency from the country after washington, sanction the southern african nations top officials on it's not the only diplomatic

conflict, the wife has a schooling on the continent, as ortiz, new living. you couldn't k reports, the sanctions a once again, the whip of choice seems full, same verbiage of you is foreign policy goals and some bob ways, the latest targets back in 2001. the u. s. move on to an onslaught on how to operate through. it's so cold lowes. would they be jumping on the n c's and bob band, rick, and what his own draft essentially is a 2002, many events have taken place since then. but one issue that's amazing, phone is and bob was relations. what's the waste is the continued suffering of the country's population as a result of wisdom, house refusal to remove those music to have flowed progress inhibited economy recovery and pardon is the poorest and most vulnerable in societies. equally astounding is wisdom. countries failure to come to terms with the reality that the land reform and resettlement programs. the main reason for these sections will not be reversed, have thoughts and repeatedly tried to reverse that. to started programs through

political tools or confrontation with this in baldwin government. but those gifts approve at futile. it cannot be right mister loading a healthy basis for conducting international relations or building friendship for a country. however, mightily abuse itself to sloan, the innocent nationals of other nations, while also maligning those same nations for daring to be independent and sovereign . i'm for reversing a baneful legacy of secular colonialism in line with the united nations trotter. the sanctions of slowing down our progress inhibiting our economic recovery and punishing the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. unit 2 of the above was the scene for my us president george bush, the i to take to off the sanctions and bark obama together with donald trump leave office. having failed to achieve regime change in this and bob, we present vital support of the sentences as also. ringback and invading that says african countries continue to raleigh behinds. the bump is pushed for the lifting

of what many c as in the legal economy? can bob go back? small man cannot negotiate with a big man. europe in countries have been putting sanctions on zimbabwe, which has been suffering for 20 years. uganda itself has suffered from wished to sanctions with the you is attempting to exec political control over the country, accusing it of human rights abuses. last year, washington, would you, you kind of prefer rachel trade stages aiming to punish kampala for its n, c, l g p to q knows if they defy and prisoners severely slamming the move is justified . defending the countries the 17th day is 6 to no pressure. it is unfortunate that the world bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into a band and in our face, culture, principles and sovereignty using money. they really under estimate all africans, we do not need pressure from anybody to know how to solve problems in our society. they are our problems. i want to inform everybody starting with your guidance,

that uganda will develop with or without loans. another country to be target to do the rich you long stigmatized as a regional spoiler by washington. it's section for supporting taylor bas groups. despite years of screwed to me by monitoring groups, using little evidence of those claims that it was excluded from the suff payment system, with the u is closing the accounts of richmond to pro magic missions and a number of states and causing difficulties for the impulse of ex fees and mid us into the country. this unilateral sanction, let's shift the blame to and scape goat scare a trail on the basis of spurious allegations, is in contravention of international law and constitutes a flagrant breach of the sovereignty, independence and liberation of peoples and nations. that the primary aim of the elicit and immoral sanctions is to inculcate suffering and starvation on the population. so as to induce political unrest and instability is patently clear.

over the past decades wisdom the states have made such which is still go to diplomatic weapons. the united states and the ropes in union administer hundreds of section programs targeting thousands of individuals, companies, and economy, except as in many countries, but have sanctions achieved the goals. despite the efforts, the targeted states retain suffering and independent domestic and foreign policy is building ties with the global solves and russia. you essentially have also caused economy, collateral damage, sedans, economy being severely impacted. even often. some of those sanctions were lifted and leaving many struggling in new jersey. after that, evidence appears to be clear. sanctions on the african continent failed to achieve the aims, and by damaging local livelihoods may have had the opposite effect. as those states behind the course of miss has failed to learn the lesson time and time again. well,

that's the thing with this story because my colleague, mike watched a spoke with c, as in bob way, government international communication director who urged washington to constant crates on the total problems and stopped meddling enough for what do you have the other things above which is a suitable americans like 12 inches through a little position by 2 types. they want a saw that the best, the games are for independence. so the washing tony, she's not in the, the, in the affairs of, of the initiatives. and they should respect the window differently as far as policy formulation is concerned, then the lending form from them is that particular, you know, benchmarking is position the whole saw a book, the consent amongst all the people that we go to a land. and ma'am, by giving take our legs on y'all's horses, no meds of the amount of functions painful meant that the amount of restrictions

they impose in or not. oh, willing to go see guys including our president. now the model, it holds the title as the most sanctioned country in africa. now we understand the government had to ask washington not to impose the assumption that they would undermine the country. so how do you expect the functions to affect zimbabwe as a country? so uh, this functions imperfect to the education sector, idea of effort that are out sick time. i think that, you know, it's trends and the, the, the, the did how i can press start to the fact it's manufactured so far. and i have 2 sons, including the they did the banking system, but as in bob way is not for the good sense of what is in the context of all this. you know, god does trophies that i created by the rest of the month way, as i certainly said, they've come back to ms as an informal for the mining sector. we have seen that to

just been a veteran resilience, that just actually been complimenting a, you know, a pain insight doesn't feel like you're going on to ensure that, you know, people get to the, as somebody's in time to ensure that the industries that lives there and all these other things, so yes, wirelessly, as small as the sanctions of the mortgage in your state. but i should also flow to the government for these policy visions that do been pro tough throughout the toners and sector. don't agree college to move into mining st. the end, did you mention investment for prospects because, and bob, which has been focused on, on this thing, alternative capital, be under the big ones, it based on your institutions. so some of these issues that you have been protect crossed by the government. really, comm is in the end to say comes in take measures to, to, to the sanctions. they've done this of the design initiative because i want people

to die or spend 1000. and 2, i intend. ready that is. ready most people would not be going to school by default because it is actually been happening in the context of us. all right, almost time for another visit to the most school meal studios couch episode 4 of our team knew no holds barred show headed by shambles, by that, by for not warning, by the way, some at dodgy, german actions may be hard, and this one the, [000:00:00;00]

the
