and connection with the crocus city hall atrocity and other deadly attacks on russian. so the russian side demands that the key of raising immediately sees any support for terrorist activities, extradite the perpetrators and compensate the damage cause to the victims. ukraine's violation of its obligations under the anti terrorism conventions will result in its international legal responsibility. among these demands is the rest of the head of the s b u. v. mail you who cynically admitted on march 25th, that ukraine organized the bombing of the crimean bridge in october 2022, and revealed the details of the organization of other terrorist attacks in the russian federation. the russian foreign ministry came out stating the latest terrorist attacks, as well as the croakers city, whole attack r, o, linked to ukraine. most coal also demands from key of to arrest the head of the ukrainian security services, as well as to extradite those involved that are still in ukraine. but just to take

you a little bit back on what happened just few hours after the tragedy and folded us was quite quick to put the blame on the stomach state and say that there's no ukrainian involvement whatsoever. just hours after that, russian authorities managed to catch the perpetrators just next to the quite new border. later on, russian president vladimir present came out with a statement essentially stating that with the information that they had at that point. this stomach state is involved. but that the question remains as to why those terrace with leading to ukraine sugar say to sleep all 4 of the data, but the 3 those of the dental is the next is all those who sean and seal people who were found and detained. they tried to hide and moved towards ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the ukrainian side across the state board. now after that more information came out as the week went on an investigation continue . then we heard the variety of statements from different russian officials,

namely from the head of the russian federal security services, who came out stating that what happened the wasn't asked by the west, specifically the us and the u. k. and ukraine to serve some sort of panic and chaos in russia. he also went on to stress that russia should recognize the ukrainian security services as a terrorist organization. on top of that, some of the recent terrorist attacks that happened in ross site, including the deadly attacks against the journalist, as well as the cry me in bridge attacks. we're all linked to ukraine. now what's more interesting is key of spite chief who is not shying away from essentially threatening to do something about the roots that russia is building to connect must go to is new territories are seeing this promotion has actually been building a railway for over a year. now to connect to our southern temporarily occupied territories, this process is almost complete and this could pose a serious problem for us. but i hope that we can somehow manage the overland

section of the railway. we all have experience in this, and it is much easier than the issue of the crime in bridge. but somehow the spice of statements. and despite the information that came out from the investigation, you craze all i still seem to be in denial. but nonetheless, the russian foreign minister still insist that he should stop supporting terrorist activities, that he should hand over the participants behind the attacks that are still in ukraine. and that it should compensate the families of the victims. now on top of that, as part of the end to terrorism conventions, ukraine can not return a blind eye to this as it has some obligations to fulfill. what already are i spoke with french geopolitical level? as serial. devout thread is convinced that crooked city whole terror attack goes beyond the s and this, the sealants. what we know so far is that the ukrainian services could not have done this alone, and they, they have a have to have at least the approval of the united states. and most probably the

brightest, the freight service. also, i my 6th and see if for the united states. so the, the, the only thing that the screw up in the plan is that the, the one not expecting the russian services to get those guys alive and have them talking. and they have been talking and we the rest and services wearable to gather intelligence that pointed that the financial system came from the ground and put some money, a link to, to your claim. so i mean, it's use, it's absolutely of use that it's something that was a, the alder bar backed up by the united states executive by the funding services. there is absolutely no depth about this. the point where we are, we all know that your plane is not just the doors, the organization. it's, it is just a 3rd state by itself. the one that i should give,

which they have always been doing like this. and they are acting like this. they're responsible for the f as a nation of the other. you know, they are responsible for the assassination of the let on that asking. they are in very serious situation on the front line and they are phone being all civilians. in a, in belgrade they are trying to bomb the energy resources in the mix deeper into russian for the russian stating during stories that i'm not even according to them at force china bowl. because it's so there is nothing. unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing to this expect from you frame to slow down. and then we will, we know that we will try to do everything they can just try to. again we, we talk just again when the focus city called a terrorist attack happened. it was so fast when us officials came out to say that they had at no evidence whatsoever is to suggest that ukraine or ukrainians were

involved. they fucked off that denial. they've double done, but yet again, no evidence has come from the white house to definitively say that ukraine was not involved. do you expect anything to come in that regard? or will they just hope that it goes away? well uh the very 1st, the reason why they immediately said that it's not the plenty of us, but i this is just to cover the ukrainians point. if they have not said anything, then maybe we would have looked at somewhere else. and if you allow me that just 11 point, the fact that those guys that were heading back to you frame, uh they were probably not expected to be um, uh, welcomed like zeros. but my best bet is that they would have been simply executive shut dead by the your services just to leave no trace. okay, now the story were across today. the it's really prime minister has said holding

elections now will distract the country from months of play into the homes of a mouse the most of the calls for election. now at the height of the war. the moment before victory will divide these rail for at least 6 to 8 months. they will bring the war to an end before it is completed. and the 1st to bless. this will be from us and that says the dog. in those words of protesters gathering jerusalem for a 4 day demonstration against their government, the organizers are calling for the resignation of been human. this in yahoo, this cabinet for the leadership to agree to a hostage release. the width from us protests will be centered around the connected and nothing yahoos residence. meanwhile, these really p n. a said that the rama done as well as us pressure are not an obstacle to gals that being a back to a normal done. we've done a whole point. it is a fact we're acting in ramadan in chief of in con eunice. in other places. there is

no american pressure, and i am already telling you it is, and it's not hesitation. just require certain preparations. i will not elaborate on them, so they were prepared. we have a prove the operation plans that the adf has presented. this is behind us. we're not tackling the issue of evacuation of the civilians and providing them with somebody and tearing assistance. this is something that is required and it is necessary and we will do it because it won't take long and by the weight and nothing will stop us from the tool. however palestinian business entrepreneur bought some car re told us he believes he is really prime minister, doesn't want to vote to be held for very different reasons to now basically saying that he doesn't want to elections because he's afraid the results of the elections because all up in the impulse indicates that if elections i've had, he would lose have somebody and he would then be have to face it just though for

i've used as a follow up for corruption charges. if the us really, once they can stop this, what immediately with a bustle for a one phone call or not even just the one of the message to them, you know, and this one with and, and the case in point is the last 2500000000 this we committed to the 8 that the us gave to 0. so to know is an if the us once is a, it's a desire to stop is it was stopped immediately. let's put it this way. in my, in my opinion, is that, and the u. s. a play and good cop bad cop game with us. the u. s. has dismantled all aspects of the base and so that's the order was basically the of being hippocratic code. and this is what the shocking is that the west, the saw hippocratic and about the, the flaw, human rights, etc, etc. and what we're seeing today is the us in the 100 percent with as

a the efforts now explosive comments shocking, really on how to end the gals. whereas come from a us republican lawmaker who sees a nuggets sucky and who are russian. i like solution would produce a quicker end to the conflict. i don't think any of our a rush to help us. we should it shouldn't be like you know, same walberg spokes person to attempt to damage control by saying that congressman was just using a method for an emphasize emphasizes excuse me, with innocent gases, but few are buying not explanation. the comments come of the intake faces. i q

monitoring good task is really bombardments, have destroyed over 70 percent of infrastructure unforced the displacement of almost 2000000. the palestinians. residents are struggling to survive with limited access to food. and the latest is really are strict on sunday. his attend come in the courtyard of the likes and marked her as hospital bluetooth allison body since of civilians have been sheltering there for people who are seen running and hunting simply scattered from the social media report. so the estimated stuff on average 15 thousands are killed every hour from the diet conditions around half all the children published to me and journalist mohammed a bu the rouge was also severely injured. and then there's really are a strike in front of alex the hospital while he was to make sure he describes

the i've always in the cory door. hi heather, whistling, sound in my ears. then i couldn't hear anything. i just fell to the grounds. i didn't know what happens. i looked at my luck to find it, has the severely injured this will, despite the idea of operations leading to chaos and destruction on the ground. some us political figures say b is really a sold, isn't going hard enough. you see footage i think we should have been you. 2 you support her losing? go on the board. i'm not so you go, i'm just working yours, right. you're a terrible person. you considering not me. hold my kids. you get your thing, not me go, i mean, okay. oh, i see you're retail $4000.00 to me and said, you know why it wasn't enough. it wasn't on the go go go. yeah,

quite an exchange. well, the 6 month long we're in, dallas has claimed over $32.70 lives, according to local officials on the idea is only expanding its military offensive. many is really citizens, incidentally seemed to favor that strategy with some calling for radical solutions . it was a day, i believe there is a decision that must be made. i understand that everyone and the poor people in gaza, but this is about our survival. so i think politicians must agree to press the button or a country with a nuclear bomb here and with nothing more to say, no one should inhabit this land. no one should live in this land except the jewish people. you would expect patient is that tomorrow morning would drop what amounts to some kind of a nuclear bomb on all of gaza, flattening them and eliminating everybody there. that's one way. the 2nd way is to work out what's important to them. what scares them? what deters them? they're not scared to death as well. while some us politicians support israel in

its efforts to dismantle accounts that many of their constituents contest the methods of doing so. thousands in new york city and dallas in texas here. well, they've taken to the streets, protesting this really offensive, and the monday an immediate cease fire in manhattan. some protesters flashed by the way with police and burn the issue. really flag that says the us has quietly given a green light to 2 and a half $1000000000.00 worth of weapons to israel. the new arms package includes $500.00, mark, $82.00 bombs each waiting over $500.00 pounds. 25 f 35, a lightning, 2 fighter jets and the big one here, almost 2000, mark, 84 bones each of them. by the way, ways a huge 2000 pounds released on the list. robert in the cash told us he doesn't

believe the us and israel are actually interested in peace and the palestinian. and what is telling here is that the united states has full complexity. and this, at the end of the day, the united states could stop what the international court of genocide has accepted as a reasonable, plausible case presented to it. the genocide is being committed and goes up. it could stop it with one phone call, but it's made the active decision not to do that. and now we see these sort of statements which are openly calling for acts of genocide from the united states, from within the united states against the palestinian people. the united states does not want to push the israelis to stop there, essentially playing this dirty game of pretending that they want a ceasefire, while the israelis mainly from benjamin netanyahu. these really prime minister are not actually looking for a ceasefire. they're looking for a mass starvation campaign to buy as much time as possible because it's well understood that if the israelis do reach a ceasefire, it's ultimately

a declaration that they were defeated. they didn't bring back the prisoners which were taken by the palestinian factions by force. they didn't collapse a mass or even a any of the other, some 12 smaller armed groups which are functioning in the gaza strip and slicing them every single day. the, the main opposition party and turkey a is leading in high stakes local election, securing the key cities of stumble and on for a victory in this symbol tricky is largest city. um the economic hub is particularly note worthy. as it has been under the ruling party's control for over 2 decades, a year after securing a 3rd term, this president ridge of type, or the one was seeking his party's candidate to reclaim the city, where or the one himself had serv, this man arbor with over 70 percent of the votes counted rival efram and a multitude from the public and people's party. these by full 9 points,

the same c h p, so says in on cra, looks to further, solidify their elect fro dominance. notably nationwide, voter turnout for the vote was high, y, discuss the possible reasons behind the i've come as it, it looks at this stage behind why it was happening in the church. hope elections with former advisor to the murder of entre on or, or so by numbers i party, there is definitely a set back. it has received slightly less votes than it did in the last 2 local elections. it was not able to regain some of the cities that it had lost in the last may rupture, especially the metropolitan administrator. typically somebody may have shipped um, so what can your party it is not. it is not a big loss but its to a loss as an add on as the present for the 3rd time in a row. they still trust them. they still want them as the leader of the country,

but largely due to economical reasons, due to economic difficulties, all the people for them is safe morning to to the present because they would, they don't want the opposition to be anywhere near the country. but at the same time, they want to add on to emphasize more on people's economic hardship is the, is, seems to be the general comments going all around into can right now the is really for administer has congratulated the opposition parties each be on its victory. as well as linking are the ones a p parties, losses with its political stance towards israel. what are your thoughts on that? you cannot give you enough support the guys that to, to the palestinians, to, to win people's hearts that, that's for sure. and this is regarding muscle pretty much regardless of which part of your talking about. so i did you? yeah, kind of just a little bit about turkish politics to make that. i, to not make that comment. so i do disagree. there is actually,

there was one of the biggest criticisms i guess ad on was that he was not doing enough to help palestinians as especially guys for sure. and he seems to have lost some votes in that regard. some instruments on the rights have taken quite a slice in certain areas. yes, and that's exactly another point actually was not what would have traditionally known to be a more likely, more conservative as a rather small party. it is rather nubile home harvey has also gained the big ground. seems to be they're going to end up as the 3rd biggest are the as of election as a local election results. core 5 more. uh, you know, i keep this trip on the i bought i bought was sent out a signed and guys at least at least by their policies, at least by their statements. so. ready yes, a he may have actually lost some to them because he, by some us could size not to be too strong because israel in regards to the

palestinians and especially gods and strip zalinski is fast becoming a nobody else. the dumbing assessment of a former ukrainian prime minister, who condemn the countries leader for counseling, the presidential election ukraine for a democratic country. there would be presidential elections today, but ukraine has ceased to be such under zalesky. because did you, some of ukraine does not provide any extensions of terms of office. it simply does not. and since the constitution does not provided, zalinski will very soon become a nobody. why did zelinski postponed the elections with the war? the war has not been declared. so why did she postpone the election them due to one thing? the fear of losing these elections with ukraine was supposed to hold a presidential vote on sunday. but mister zalinski, whose term expires in may, has made it clear. this is no time for elections. are to charlotte too,

but he picks up the story that someone should be waking up today is the newly elected president of ukraine. but that's an alternative universe perhaps because hit and now new elections have been held. and that means it's more the same for however long live to me is the landscape decides the clean power you wish to make me more. we all realize that now it is war time when there are many challenges, it is absolutely irresponsible, somehow so frivolous to throw the subject of elections into society. we must understand that this is a time of defense, a time of battle on which the fate of the state and the people depends and not a time for throw in this, which only russia expects from ukraine. i believe that now is not the time for elections. i don't know about you, but i've never considered holding in the election, and electing people decide as like, taught it a playful thing. and in regards of still being waves of political division. so

lensky has already seen to that because there is no political opposition in ukraine point. now, there are no papers that are empty government or will bind as a result of selecting skis. wouldn't men plus push to control the whole narrative? that's being too much for some, for democracies do not ban elections, but ukraine has put the democratic process itself on hold. since declaring martial law in 2022. this hiatus was supposed to be temporary, but it has been repeatedly extended. democracies do not censor media. in february 2022, the ukrainian government ordered the 9 largest television networks and ukraine to combine their news operations into a single state control news program called tele marathon. soleski had only last year, being throwing around the idea that new election would be held to test his metal at the ballot box. but he since done

a uterine according to the committee of voters of ukraine, that's down to one reason alone. a massive drop brings the land skis, approval ratings, and one pole has shown that if the election had been held, zalinski may have got to boot, especially this going ukraine's full my head of the army had stood against him. the other reason being founded about is that ukraine call told elections during martial rule. well, the only person who can lift that is lensky himself, may prove that will he will. so what has the west, which is so often demanded the elections in other countries said, not a lot of what elections is concerned in ukraine. this is a domestic measure of ukraine, so not for me to come and take them. and these are questions for the ukraine, people to decide we want to see presidential elections and all actions in ukraine. but we recognize that it's a difficult thing to conduct in the middle of the world. and so it's

a very difficult issue to work through. and ultimately, it's a decision for the training people to make it. interestingly, it had quite a lot to say about russia's recent presidential election, rushes recent presidential election occurred in an environment of intense repression of independent voices and the imprisonment, death, or ex iowa. virtually all genuine political opposition. the kremlin has denied it. citizens, a transparent, meaningful democratic process against this backdrop, this election can only be described as on democratic. this has not been to see on fair elections. no sea of service, you're highly restricted in vitamin position. it'd be problematically, what can save more than that. seizure action as being base and refreshing intimidation. the value of the recent elections in russia were an election without a choice. the election process not only shows putin's nefarious actions against his

own people, but also against the united nations charter. on the one hand rusher is bad because it has elections in the west, didn't like the outcome on the of the ukraine doesn't have to hold elections and it's still a bedrock of democracy. go figure. yeah, but it's not just russia that's attracting the west courses in many africa, nan, south american countries of being in the firing line. now those nations all standing up for themselves, i'm sorry for the west, but what the west thinks is not my problem. not everyone in the west is spinning the same line. is the lensky over the known elections there? all those who are saying, hang on a minute, i want to see this country have free and fair elections, even while it is under a salt, the american people need to know that ukraine is different. this has been a very corrupt country in the past. incredible qu, by zalinski,

which purely and simply cancels the ukrainian presidential election, which was to take place in march 2024 after having already cancel the legislative elections last month. ukraine is a full fledged member of the council of europe is of course a democracy. and although democracy is far more than only elections, i think we all agreed that without the elections, democracy cannot properly function. you're going is have no idea when they'll be able to vote in such elections because there is only one person who can make that cool. so lensky himself and right now he's clinging on to power. he has absolute authority. he is suspended elections. he has were press political opponents, he has proclaimed a state of emergency those up all characteristics of a dictator. sweden based geo political on list and research or a greg simon's to my colleague, nicky, are in that's the landscapes decision to spread. the elections was influenced by

his low ratings, not by the conflict, a piece trying to justify it, by the fact that there's a war on this is not the real reason for the justification, the actual justification of the deeply unpopular. if there was any election, he would lose any and he would lose by and large margin because of where you remember what the vice of them and the 1st place the old ideas back. he was by to them on the, on a piece tickets he offered. brandon face to ukraine and. busy boss, and he's done the exact opposite of us just to points out. they have parker say, hey, what's an official say the election and ukraine is an internal decision, but the very same politicians were very quick to criticize the russian presidential, very thing which i understand that you actually followed as an international observer. why is this such a big difference in the rest of right now? absolutely. i mean, i mean it's not the standards, it's

a multitude more than that. you have to pay for that. it's trying to support via the project is always the company with the big spaces, explanations why hayslip just as always, trying to say is what the americans pull putting lipstick on page. you're trying to make something beautiful when that is not where is when we're looking at the rushman. ready sions. there's a problem for them because you have the cycle bad side of the one that's labeled bedside domains was a democratic site would do. it's based spiration, which is driving this without the rop from me. the news team for now, but due to and peter scott in 30, he'll be here to guide us through more of the big stories from the past 7 days in the week. the retail, goodbye the
