cannot see the forest at us made abrams tank and falls to the russian army. while one of the mighty challenger tanks the u. k. as if it to you, the rain gets stuck in the mud during simple training extra sizes. and the whole fiasco is captured on camera by british media and the time because the sun can slid in and out there waiting for recovery. that in the green lights, a lot of that give citizenship to non muslim for national it's playing from the scanner stand, bangladesh and pakistan raising concerns among the muslim minorities and as the guys in health system has been devastated by the war r t, it's a special project human shields documents the story of a doctor forced to amputate his own niece is leg at home without anesthetic. his

idea of forces continued to show the surrounding area. what the smell once on bearable, i kept bleeding a full days. unfortunately, i had no other choice. could i get her to the hospital? obviously not because we've had been besieged for 15 days. the . you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. the russian defense ministry confirms of force us made abrams tank has been destroyed on the battlefields. images are circulating online of the charred remains of the american made machine report suggests that tank was destroyed in the fight for one of the villages of the don't ask region. the russian defense minister also confirmed other western supplied munitions, had been taken out in the course of finding a new crane, including a check made

a vampire combat vehicle and 2 french made caesar's self propelled artillery units as well. the west military might seems to be suffering one failure after another. here is our british maid, challenger tank, stuck in the mud while performing a simple training exercise. the exercise, we've seen the main problem with the challenges facing the i see one of the messages to the crating to increase a given a since we go is the last big challenge is full admittedly precise. actually they've had real problems with it in ukraine because of its lability and

they just said it's too heavy. it's on the pallet and it keeps getting stuck. and you can see that's exactly what has happened here. the valley of the tank is on the mode. we're trying across a small bits radio, you know, a few meters wide, but it's clearly very well, very, or sophie and the time because the sun can slid in and now they're waiting for recovery there. earlier we spoke to a former us army reserve officers got bennett, who says that russian arms on ukraine's battlefields are superior to their western counterparts. pick this up, this calculation. of course, if the russians knew this, they've, they've fought in this area. hundreds of years on the british has been used to quite a different dynamic for the past 50. they've done nothing but make tanks for mary. go rounds and amusement parks and to stimulate their military industrial complex.

so i think is a formidable weapon system. it's proving to be completely unreliable for the terrain. and there has been less of an adherence for care about the technical dimensions of, of this combat in the and whether these weapon systems are going to function properly. that's never really been at the heart of the british german american, a french agenda. well, it tells me on a personal level, since i was in the don bass and the operating russian tanks and armored personnel carriers that the russian technology is far superior than anything the nato countries have. because it has been specially specially designed for this kind of weather in every every detail. never once did the russian tanks get stuck in mud in court. and we were up in our next in mud, in the dawn bass. but never did the russian tanks stall or slow down, or skid,

or any, any kind of, uh, incapacitation, occur. brushes, technology was very reliable. it was very hard. and it was uh, it was built to last uh with very few technical problems of the west america, specifically all of their wars for the last 20 years. and i was part of the iraqi freedom. and i didn't discover this to later. but all of the wars of the west have been based on lies. they've all been based on lies. a 911 was done by f ganley's in the summer, been lod lie, it rack has uh, you know, something to do with eisen or lie. so all of these wars that are based on lies inevitably turn cancerous into the soldiers that fight them. and the soldiers that fight these wars suddenly begin to kill themselves. commit suicide. because the

lies start growing out of them. that's why soldiers are returning from the battlefields and ukraine in britain. for example, there was a story of a soldier killing himself, a mercenary show, a british mercenary, that went over to ukraine to fight because lives truss. what are the ugliest prime ministers i've ever seen? ah, said britain should go fight russia. and this man returned to britain after fighting and killed himself because he saw every thing was a lie. that is something very important to remember because the, the nation and the military that fights a war based on lies will always lose because the soldiers will suffer internal, psychological hemorrhaging. whereas the russians are only enduring psychological, emotional solidification. meantime, the u. k 4 and the secretary offered to help berlin avoid problems preventing the

delivery of the tourist missiles to ukraine. agreeing to such a move would effectively notify chancellor. all i've sold supposition to the move to giving key of the missiles capable of striking deep into russian territories. you can find out what step for lynn could take, as well as other opinions and analysis on our website. archie. on the 20 days in march, you pull documentary film by ukrainian filmmaker won an oscar. but there is a twist. the footage of a pregnant woman also known as pregnant from are you paul murray on of the sherman sky, i was exposed as misleading last year. r t correspondence div sweeney broke down. the controversy from my colleague nicky are in on sunday so the glitz and glamour of hollywood as the red carpet was rolled out for the stalls of the silver screen. but the least surprising, perhaps victory of the night was to the ukrainian documentary 20 days in matthew poll. now again, this is cause some degree of controversy because of the nature of the documentary

that remind us that was with a clip of the film, the the that we saw that the image of might be in a vision. most guy who is emerging from this bill building pregnant and she was bloody does as well. but she soon became the, the main, the main center of this kind of western propaganda over the over what really happened. this was the legible thing, we should say. all the terms, the hospital number 5 on march 9th, 2022. and as she came out of the hospital, she said she was surrounded by a camera crew of photographers from associated press. and she'd like to gave him an interview. now of course, if they'd cause some controversy, that was a big brown with the united nations security council. like what really happened in

the hospital. russia insisted that the hospital was not the target, that it was not boned from the as the ukrainians on the ground was like the whole series or had in fact being taken over by ukrainian soldiers some time before. now marianna, herself, we oversee, she was at the center of this huge storm blowing off across the west of media, across social media and telecom channels. and the, i can, she searched the interview that she given to associated press at the time. and she found that they have actually included her statement that included the most of the stuff that she had said, but they haven't included a statement. no, as for i could take a place and she said that she made this statement repeatedly over and over again. but as you want to, uh, you know, get to the reality of what happened that it's just taken listen to what she got. she said you were josh to win. and so the associated press report has taken the photo, ask them not to do it because i didn't need it. and i didn't want it. i didn't give any consent for the photo and i didn't give any consent for the publication. so

they published it on their own initiative. they also asked if there wasn't ever aid . i said that no one had the right. apparently they didn't need that information and cut it out because everything except when it's happened and that we were in the maternity hospital. so i think that we're very selective with those statements that i know you've spent a lot of time working in mario, but what we will take away said joining us on that. well, perhaps some surprisingly that the truth about what happened, even in my view, police very different from the narrative that's being played out into the west in the west. i've been to the hospital in question, not being to all the maternity hospitals. i've interviewed some of the patients that are, i've spoken to a lot of this off and they were very clear on civic was that was a bullying and who it was that was fine and got them and they said it was ukrainian forces. now, i think of many of the places across the city, i was in the as a face to form as well face just a few weeks ago. and i spoke to russian soldiers who said that, well actually the bottle in the city was incredibly famous. but the people that

will hold up in the eyes will still still pump. these will people that when they are not sees that will west investing these, of course, and many of whom move now. big news in the west side book book deals and they've been paraded across western media channels to be used as propaganda. but i've again, no spoken to many people across the city and they only have one message. the it was as of the, with the people that terrorized them for years. and they say russia as the people that liberated them. but what they will most of who is the fruits and that set up ready of the city being used, the point being ignored. but the city being used as western propaganda now to india, where a new citizen, if amendment will take effect as general elections loomed, then the administer of home affairs says the law would guarantee citizenship for non muslim religious groups who move from neighboring muslim majority states before december 31st in 2014 the mo,

the government today notified the citizenship amendment rules 2024. these rules will now enable minorities, persecuted on religious grounds in pockets. don, bangladesh and afghanistan to acquire citizenship in our nation. with this notification, prime minister in the render, emoji has delivered on another commitment and realize the promise of the makers of our constitution to the hindus. seeks buddhist joins parties and christians living in those countries who are 3. this is big considering its coming just before the general elections of india. anytime this week, the deed for elections will be announced. and remember, the notification of the citizenship amendment act up was a boss or nothing. there will these be to be his political body in the manifesto, which was a boss of the 2019 manifesto and we, the citizens administered that into bodies. political body has fulfilled its promise. now, what exactly is all the citizenship amendment act,

and why is it contentious now? back in 2019 the know was already boston right off to the law is fost. we saw the different parts of the country drew golfing to george's because the law was proceeds to be and teamwork and gave you regarding this bill, i will say that it doesn't post threat to any minority in india, especially our muslim brothers and sisters. now this particular law, what it intends to do is it intends to give citizenship to an adult through minted ballistics suited no one was collins from cook, got a song bought this done as well as bunker dish. so the citizens shipped these people. they have to be in india before the 2014, in fact, december of 2014. and then they qualified to be given us citizenship in india. these could be anybody. these could be christian, james reports, he's c not known. what kim's, the reason b,

in the government sees the via coming from was blend majority countries. now, with this particular notification being announced by the home industry, that's the nor do a quarter to you really for rob this particular act to be carried out in. well, it's very interesting now because in the run up to the general elections, it'll be interesting to see that kind of reactions we get the ballade, your underlining factor, he'll be willing to consolidate handle it's for the part the agent got bought in the upcoming general elections went out to ireland where the prime minister has confirmed the defeat of 2 referendums that would have constitutionally redefined to the family make up and the role of women while officials had anticipated a yes vote on both family and the care amendments. 67 percent of voters cast a no ballot on the family initiative and almost 74 percent rejecting the other option. the family proposal aimed to add the term durable relations meaningful

habitat and couples with children to the official definition of a family. while the 2nd suggested making the language around women in the home or neutral local, say they are delighted with the result of the vote. unlike the government. i personally think that there is a need for change. but i think that the politicians themselves didn't come out and explain why this was the reason for that. there was a reason to change the constitution was to license people have the common sense to realize it was badly wired just and sadly run this account paid to get through. while i talk to the 2nd amendment, a proposal, the carrier ma'am, it's all this also july says zip is to fees is because i don't think it did enough for people who kept in the community. they wanted people just to care for people at home. where is families can not just care for a few for the home we need to call they needs this part of the government and they

need supports overall in their lives. so we're happy that no no. okay man. let me talk to to pastor martin simple, uganda and pro family later he says the referendum results send a clear message to european political leads. i think that there is clearly a gap between the people and the prime minister. there is a very wide gap in understanding basic gender understanding what makes a man and what makes a woman he as a man who was married. oh, to another mind, the fuss publicly out. game. brian minister of ireland trying to make i alon feed into the image of why didn't things should be i'm people are saying, no, i don't think it is the wording that was the problem is the ideology, the ideology of diminishing the gender role, differences between men and women,

the ideology of diminishing the family. i'm very glad that the people i'm still have the fade that they were able to send this shocking rebuke to this pregnant is done. if i would see him with his copy that i would immediately pack my bags. i resigned because it's obviously these a vast difference between the 2 of them. i think that that is a strong background of christianity in the irish. they are known as very people, all of us from roman catholic background, the very strong on it for life on the understanding the rules of family, the importance of life is the beginning to me is the beginning of this serious rebuke to european leading. it's like as and health care system is in tatters as 5 months of war have devastated most of its hospitals. i'm in a critical shortage of a many wounded palestinians are forced to undergo operations under hazardous

conditions. sometimes even without anesthetic look at the cost of the middle east complex. next. as chronicled in our 2 special project, human shields, the we are calling the civilians to leave guys, it goes out. some us wants to keep them. there is a human shield. this is innocent. civilians are going to be hard on the all civilians. i'm one of the to we were in our house when it was bombed. this is my niece. imagine i had

to amputate her leg in our home. but in just is what soon have we committed? i am working on a kitchen table without anesthetic cutting off a 17 year old girls. like where is the mercy? god have mercy on us. the god. we weren't time the tanks were right. it's hard to steps. i went out to the 6 full to try to get a signal, so i could talk to my dad who has been away for 6 years. my sister nice all the time. it was huge. so i told my sister to go to the living room while i placed the cottons so that the tank would fire to us. i went to set on the couch and i was hit

fast. i didn't feel anything. suddenly everything around me, 10 white i full time instead, my mom left the shop telling me and had my cousins take me down. while he was going down the stairs, i saw that part of my leg was going on. my foot was just hanging by my skin. they called me to my house and put me down on the table, which already had died when it, as we had been making. they remove the dial and put me on it. and as i said, let me pull it up. unfortunately, i had no other choice. there were just 2 options. either let the girl die as a martyr or try to do something amputation of the leg was necessary. could i get her to the hospital? obviously not because we had been besieged for 15 days, the light seemed to shut it directly to check my medical back. but there was nothing in it except a pair of scissors. and some guys, i know, and every surgery,

the doctor asked the nurses to prepare everything. but for me, my nurses were my nephews. i looked around for a threat to tie the artery and i said, wait, i can't see properly. i didn't have my glasses with me. i told my nephews to look for a threat and tied the artery with an ordinary thread. the one you used to fix, torn close. uh the total because if up just they kept the phone in my phone so he could see my old tree. the smell is unbearable. i kept bleeding hands full days. the pain was so strong, i was hallucinating. off to full days, the times suddenly left the area. if not, i'll do it. let's say i gave myself 5 days to save the heat. i thought that would be the maximum limit for her to endure the pain, but she handled something. no human can handle. having an amputation with no anesthetic, the

in the, the, the, the, the, the sites, every day, a palestinian doctor cries because he can help patients, but lacks the resources every day we perform amputations, not because we want to, but because we lack the means to treat them i mean, we're not butchers but we have no other choice. every day, a postilion doctor dies a little when he was in the hospital reception and sees a mother, a brother, a sister bringing a dead or wounded person, and fighting for

a hospital bed. the former days until tens of millions of russian citizens go to the. busy to cast their ballots for the country is next president of this year. the presidential elections are unique as rushes and battled new regions will take part in the voting or to international brings the special coverage of this landmark event. the. the election comes as a large scale challenge for rushes and battled new regions. millions are preparing the cast or balance there despite the threat of you. printing and shelling are to shape both sexes through how local authorities are making sure people can exercise the right to have their voices heard as well. she prepares to go to the polls. this

presidential election will pose unique challenges in russia's new territories. these areas are court, the under martial law and cynical ukrainian. the tax on pulling centers are always a trip, but it's the solutions that are critical and those solutions must take into account the reality of the situation on the ground. for example, one of the voter has yet to receive the new russian documents screens kind of part of them. you'll notice where people will ukrainian passports. i'm not able to vote in unit labor right to territory. so, but those are the rules and laws. but at the same time, most people want to vote and have expressed such a desire. therefore, we are speeding up the process of issuing documents and helping them to obtain russian pass folders. this is the daily process. moreover, we are looking at how to organize it even more quickly because there is not much time left before the elections, and people wants to be involved folder, innovative ways to ensure the safety of voters are being considered including

restricting information regarding the location of the polling areas and even moving the voting places from where risk a merge. the duration of voting may also be reduced to protect the voters with the local election commission is ready to use the valuable experience they gain in september 2023. during the election of deputies to the regional parliaments, still concert. so that's where the polling stations. we also have technologies that allow us to ensure security, which is new regions will also have the possibility of early voting at pony stations located in an accessible or remote areas. in addition to these voters would be able to register to use mobile vote or mechanisms. this will all avoid large congregations of voters which are prime targets for ukranian strikes. a variety of forms of voting will ensure the separation of people flowing into vote. in this way, it will be possible to avoid large crowds of citizens in one room. and of course, no risk can ever be entirely eliminated. and last year's local election showed that

the ukrainian army was determined to disrupt the democratic process as much as possible. now you're probably wondering why i'm wearing this protective vest and helmet 12 foot quite simply. it's because pointing stations under the threat from ukrainian attack, this posting station, in fact, itself was struck during the referendum and 2 people were killed. but as you can see, it hasn't deterred the people from taking part in the democratic process. so this year, as russians from very boss stuck to belgrade, head to the poles, they'll be joined by the people have done bus, eager to exercise their hard won democratic rights, and to find their own future as part of the wider russian family. and while ukraine may do all in its power to preventive, the selection we'll go ahead on the free voices of don bus will be heard as something that citizens have already expressed the choice for rocha's future liter

r t took an exclusive interview with the regents had dmitri, per sheila and the entire interview, will be shown on tuesday. but here's a segment from it. the who, by the way, who am i fish reason a we what this is the 1st, the russian presidential election in our lifetime. and it is important not only in the practical, but also the emotional sense here as residents of don't bass. we treat this with due reverence. technically everything is ready to give them. of course, the enemy will try to disrupt events with a range of provocations. unfortunately, i do not rule out that shielding is also possible, but we are preparing for any risk where possible. we are increasing security measures. one key, the preliminary voting began on february 25th. so that representative, so the central election commission can get to the areas that have been the most

chilled are most unsafe and give people their, the opportunity to vote. this is very important for us, but generally speaking, this is not our 1st electoral cycle. the referendum was very important for us. the elections that took place in the autumn were very important. but this of course, is a landmark event. and very significant. we will elect our president. we will choose the future of our country with our understanding of what is happening in the country or bringing these special are take coverage of preparation for preparations for russia's presidential election. elections for the 1st time. validation will take place over several days, starting on march 15th with the voting to march 17th. stay tuned and follow all the details and learn more about this landmark russian event on our website. archie dot

com the it's all right, just stay with our to international up next on cross talk. peter lavelle and his guests discussed are by the state of the union address and the abuse of history by the hello and welcome to the prospect bull horns and peter lavelle. here we discussed some real news during a state of the union address. joe biden invoke history specifically the 2nd world war. on this edition of the program, we explain why this history is abused. also, voters throughout the western world go to the pulse this year. will their voices be

heard to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by george samuel leon, budapest. he's a pod cast worth a guy goal which can be found on youtube and locals and america actually a martin j. he is an award winning journalist and commentator or a gentleman prospect rolls in effect. that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate it. all right, let's start out with george and in budapest, um you have, uh you and i have previously talked about the state of the union address, the joe biden delivered. obviously the most bizarre thing coming from on that venue for that occasion. we've ever heard in our lifetime and it, but it was very interesting. it was supposed to be the state of the union, but it was a kind of a state of jo biden's mind and administration, particularly when it comes to world affairs. so, so the united states that in feature very much, at least in the beginning, but the 2nd world war, he paid off with the 2nd world war. as if the united states in 2024 is in a similar circle.
