we still have some common ground. the interest of bonds all along the front lines, a lot of music. lensky admits ukraine's. but a vision program is not providing any really ukraine's ministry if tomorrow, for instance, half of the army will return home. we should have surrendered on the very 1st day the they really changes to open 5 and us here, 11 on israel, just wordly. we report from the south where the idea continues to take a man and take full life. the cease fire agreement stands in name of the face of the democratic republic of the congo up in the air. that's a key city of go by. the east is captured by m 23 minutes and a 17. the report, league killed and many 100 wounded in clashes erupt. thing of cost destination

the from contrast to, to pick ali and key up to be rude. to use live a world wide with your news on feels it has. so straight to ukraine, coffee, we go over here on the program on archie with some of the very latest updates from the frontlines as well as the ruptures. ministry of defense reporting that nearly a 100 ukrainian troops as well as almond vehicles with just taken out of a fight and the public. the video was rough and 4th as far artillery and rockets. the m o. d u says the brigade carried out the strikes off the detecting ukrainian positions with surveillance. you are, these are, this comes as most goes, forces have been making rapid strides over the last month as you have for treats up and down the front to the old. com is that to me,

is that has to be highlighted tvs, mobilization efforts, a simply not enough. you guys have been adopted according to the law people over 25 years old. they're being mobilized, and it continues today, bringing a lot of people of this age. they have rotations and go on leave, but it's not enough. we have to work on the quality of this. you have tomorrow, for instance, half of the army will return home. we should have surrendered on the very 1st day over now as well, corresponding in the don't escrow public or you go to the dine off. now. explaining is that lensky is very frank admission. it's a strong statement that the western legacy media is more than likely to ignore. these are truly some onset and then trouble some time to be a high school graduates in ukraine up through the idea of lowering the mobilization age to include those of 18 years of age and older has been out for months now, especially specifically, peddled hard by the previous american administration,

but it has been on the list of the talking points of the from team q n. now, coupled with what they hear, what all these youngsters of ukraine here from zelinski himself, that in fact it is not enough that those who are being drafted on the streets are not enough to fix the front line right now. well this, it does not sound optimistic a tool for the younger generation of the ukrainians, and coupled with things like well, for instance, the general collapse of the ukrainian army on the front lines. well, it is unclear as to how you crane is supposed to band a aid, the disastrous situation in the trenches. i mean, on monday reports image that the head of the ukrainian defense intelligence suggested that it without fresh blood in the trenches, quote, the very existence of ukraine as a well as a country could be in jeopardy if there are no serious negotiations until summer. then very dangerous processes for the very existence of ukraine may begin. now,

right off to these reports, imagine that he'd be available. donald said this was the defense intelligence of ukraine, that it's step forward and publicly refuted that this, this was, these were the exact words of the heads. but other reports suggested that that was what he was talking about was the collapse of the front line and not the collapse of ukraine as a stage, which is still not exactly ideal for key of so again, it is unclear as to what plan the, the authorities right now have to fix the situation on the front line is because the lack of just the lacking and stuttering mobilization is only the tip of the iceberg of all the problems that the ukraine, you know, i mean, is facing right now. essentially, they don't have enough men to put in the trenches also at the same time a people and the soldiers have been complaining that the ukrainian commodities

simply cannot provide them with sufficient training. and they're just sending fresh conscripts straight into bottle. and this will, it kind of brings other problems into with it because that have been reports of mass decisions, decisions by the thousands of fresh called scripts, from the front line from the newly formed brigades. one of the latest reports suggest and the quote and quote, a disintegration of one of the brigades fighting just outside the town of the desk or on the probes up front line. this is one of the hot spots. this is where the russians have come close as to the deal probes region of ukraine again that ukrainians they have basically the whole front line is a hot spot in one way or another. i mean here into the next group, public, the fighting has been most fees. the same goes for the fighting in the quarter squeezen where the ukrainians are trying to hold the ground. because uh, i mean,

i mean, room is of, uh, of expected towards expect the piece towards between russia, the united states and ukraine. this, this move as small as waves of wind that they have in the could squeeze, you know, of russia. this is pretty much the only leverage that they have right now add of these 2 oaks, but again, nothing has been confirmed in terms of a peace process. of course, russia in the united states, it seems they have been, at least, didn't, to some degree, seeing i, to, i that i'd be united states have been saying that this conflict has to end pretty much immediately. and the russians have view saying, well that they are open to do negotiations, they are open to the idea of negotiations and they have that they are ready to sit until as long as long as there's somebody to talk to ukraine. because again, zalinski, just a quick reminder he had canceled the presidential elections last year. so the

legitimacy and disorder, how much power, how much you will negotiation legitimacy. his figure holds russia. he's concerned about that so that they don't uh, signing the documents with zalinski then there's, there's an election in ukraine, a new president and the new president, just 2 steps forward and says, well, we do not recognize anything, anything signed by the previous administration on this. well, the cycle of uh, cycle of blood spilling just goes on and uh, is reinstated. uh so again, the prospect of talks is, seems to be so far, quite distant and well, it is not helping with the optimism inside ukraine, i'm in room is over fresh mobilization over a whole new generation of people to lebanon. now here on the program where these are in the military continue, is that the tax basically disregarding of the terms of a cease fire with has blah, israel has resumed, it strikes, killing to win, wouldn't go over a dozen more on mondays, just what 24 hours also off the israel killed well i have

a 2011 east civilians in the south. despite the ongoing cottage, people are still looking to get back home. and as we understand, according to our correspondent seats, we need some local drive to be taking matters into their own hands and trying to push the as ready troops out of the neighborhoods. have a look now that c 5 agreement has come on to some criticism, particularly from residents in the south. you say that the lebanese government, what it simply abandoned them, is as showing these great acts of defiance by confronting the radio and forces even pushing the miles of mold and searching for sacraments and villages. we've seen them and bravely tyson owned these, right? the soldiers and a merc about tanks. now, the situation of course remains incredibly volatile overnight. there was a gun fire in bombings and a number of villages, a number of settlements. we're making our way now into a number of web pages. and now, gathering best set to attend the lebanese army,

all going to be entering those villages, pushing the is where the army house have them. um, the laws need a decision around the seas file. the scene is not one that has come from the liberties side. the liberties government has been very critical of as well, but it seems as being driven by washington, the administration of the us president donald trump now has law for this part where they said that the extension of the cease fire agreement with the only way the applies to military operations, so this is just to give the is why the on 4th is more time to leave the area and whether they do so it remains to be seen. so we're going to be joining some of those villages as they were to, into the set to is we're expecting that they may be cautious with these ready on forces bucks that for that. but they're saying, well, there's no up to is well to dictate when we were to and they doing so that returning to ever digits on mass with the heads held high. so that we can see wrong

as in rows of traffic just in front of us is a binge of al. this is where a lot of the traffic is coming from over here. that making the way to i totally, which is one of the villages we've recently visited, but now for the 1st time in 15 months, many people think to, to and that's what we can say on many of the cause of the flags of has the law. many people are carrying pictures of the relatives of mounted relatives of being killed. but there's a sense of pride of returning to that villages a sense of celebration almost just we would just up in luna ross in this direction and as we were leaving people gave us some sweet foods to eat. so the people are remaining incredibly define. we know the lebanese army, i think the engineering i to really now the villages will follow in behind them. we're not going to take a walk. obviously, we can't get the call because it's so much traffic. but we're going to take

a walk and we're going to try and enter the village as uh, the people, the local residents for to look who's finally entered are to not for 10 sound or if it is ready for us, is they forced that were locked and lebanese army to join them while challenging pro resistance slogans. d. as righty, so, which is withdrew? made things of jubilant celebrations. we made our way to another flash sport myself jamal way is what his reinforces presence villages will to on the road churned up and by the time expired for id time, some others struck a defiant god to shave some head. we came here to see our land, to conquer and liberate it from our ruthless enemy. this is our land. we're not afraid of them even if it is allows will. we will manage and expelled them a month so soon when i'm ready to spend the night here until i get home, i will sit on my doorstep even if it is destroyed. we are not afraid of anyone. with the help of a law, we will be able to enter our city and we will definitely return. and all of the 1st of all, the agreement reached for 60 days was not respected by the is really enemy,

the commission that guarantee disagreement is inactive. these really enemy in their patrons seek to impose their rule not only on living on, but also on the whole world. therefore, we need to deliver a powerful message to this occupying. and to me, hey, we are on our own land. and as a people, we will stand up to him, us and we are not going to leave this place. we aren't acting on our own decision as lebanese people, as residents of this country. so the situation have is very tense, very volatile just behind us here. and there is a barricade of trees being pulled down and behind that there's a and is where the mock about tank is waiting troops. they really actually just opened fire on us here. most of all i can produce to oppose the power k time. we had a gun fraud gunshots. if you come around this way, we can see now here, village is a gathering. they're trying to make their way back into the, into, if it is just behind us now little again, gunfire is well,

try to prevent no things returning. i'm not sure if we can pick this up, but we just had gun file from the who just policies trees. hey, we know that there is ready. so just up the 8 months about tanks, it seems that these ladies are opening 5 and so this is what the extension of the seas for our meetings. in fact, it's just given the green light for the is why the troops to embed even further to continue their occupation of lebanese of silver and territories. as long as rejected the si, fi gave me with a breach of 70 sovereignty and p. i defy it said that the piece would eventually be victorious. drive off the occupied. i think uh the site is, has to withdraw from our up to 5 lines. after the 1st single for the 60 days 60 days i think we are going to see the complete

yesterday is withdrawal from island. i think so. and the menus people are not concerned about to be different. and i think for nick shoes and about 3 international uh, links and about something like that. they are not sending about to that one. they are looking to see the land, a bit rate for them to be a sweetness. well, what we've seen across the course of monday seems of joy seems of set up ration ok, so brave defiance is lebanese village is conform is right. the soldiers, in many cases, driving them out of the village, is where the lebanese army is reluctant to do so. now will these right? the army leave for the new the enforce deadline of february? the 18th? well, only time will tell, but it could be that they are full style, not by the liberties army,

but by the lebanese people themselves. this is steve sweeney fidelity in southern lebanon. right now to any quarter past the hour here in moscow. so to africa, we go here on the program where at least 17 people repeatedly killed nearly 370 injured. it's all the mid classroom and the democratic republic of the congo. and it comes as m 23 minutes on saturday, captured the city of goma. that's in the nation's east, especially some footage from grandma. on monday, the militants clearly seem to have established control. as large crowds gather. i'll go by is home to about 3000000 people according to the u. n. and the group is reportedly taking control of the city's effort and the national tv channel. last week, the provincial governor was outright killed by the m. 43 groups, and we are there amidst the crowd, speaking to a local is about the current state of affairs, but also what they expect in the immediate future. here's a bullet. i'm not a soldier, but i know how to recognize it. i picked it up quickly,

closing the door. a balm fell just a few steps from our street. i went outside and that's when with a terrifying crash, the gunfire erupted. we are in a terrible state of fear because the explosions are becoming more and more frequent . before we were just walking down the street unaware of the threat, a resolution will come if the authorities finally accept dialogue. that would allow us to avoid this desperate fleet to safety. right now, none of us can go a moment without fearing that we may have to rush into yet another evacuation of the features from the d. c. capital right there with protests on the streets. rwanda's fly with the image of his president pull to guide me up in flames. as a deal i see a chooses as neighbor of supporting the group. however, one that denies will be able to gauge. meantime, elsewhere, the country thousands also gathered to protest the militants taking of other cities

in the region. a people say the chaos in the nation. some of them certainly saying it's actually driven by certain western sponsors. the civil society of south keybo denounces the very ambiguous positions taken by countries such as france, the usa and great britain in relation to the war of aggression. the civil society of south keith who feels a band and in the fight against the balkan ization and calls on other provinces to show solidarity to save the eastern part of the d. r. c. in the grip of its atrocities and calls for the general mobilization of the congo lease, living in the diaspora to say no to war. and yes to piece left. we are here to demand peace for our country is threatened. there is a part of our country that is illegally occupied by foreigners, but as we are a democratic country, we must fight for our homeland. that is how the population of south keith, who came together as one man to come and demand the right for the part that is

occupied to be liberated by pre, looking about 2 thirds in our compatriots from north key. we must be strong, we are behind them. we will continue to fight and advocate up to the highest level . we want to see how to integrate the territory and then come back to us because it is a right congo has never taken a centimeter from a neighboring country. it is a country that respects other neighboring countries and they too must respect us. we tell paul could comment that he must be careful with our congo these nation. now although m 23 is a so just very well apparent as we understand the problem does have roots in the history before we join out a guest is a quick week the

remember the prices work between now and the 2 is the one that i'm reading the article, given some new gun, all these countries, they have been since the addition of the general to data. the latter will came from rhonda after killing a menu and to seize and to, to colonial, exported to chrome or the idea or a g of genocide operative or the duties from formal calling them the one done 0. combining the outlines the

the government of contests. i decided to integrate 4 of the ministers in the army under the umbrella ford was the leading to and altogether we with the army, we've passed that forces and missed somebody's and a, but the indians decided to get in to we have,

i'm 23. i learned short range diplomacy as happened in $291023.00 is name off. so this way it's like we that's good enough to hold the, you know, again to the colonial suite of the lease. so i'm pretty can unit african union is the, on the some of these countries you can use it for example, people splitting the nationalities,

50 different countries. when did so with the most public, which is what do i have this in the time when they called the congo? they does nothing to say. so sharing cohesion, religion of cohesion, is to make a girl. oh, take care of the box is to include as many miles across the board. and they actually even less device us. we can try into conflicted conflicts, infection time to learn more or less course live now to professor or the original school of holt or the university of congested in the capital. the d, i see you there is right. they have cushion gonzo lou west, you know, joining us here on the international coast. very well. welcome to you. thank you for joining us here on this program on see i'm, i'm trying to get my head around what we're seeing right now. what's happening and go, but also some of the eastern regions as well. the past 36 hours, we've seen violence. we've seen protests. now we understand their protests outside

the us embassy in can show. so i don't know why the american embassy is being targeted, but can you tell us cush? what's a reaction to the ongoing events in the d. c. right now. thank you very much . i think this edition is very confused because uh, from the sides there were, that's where it's p as in today, it does a long plan will to recognize global. you buy this into smaller pieces. that the this issue started a long time ago. a seasoned dependence. they wasn't and powers have in mind to check on a pox. and last year's since 19 the 1997, the 1st blow by f dash, which was a random ugandan animal on the move to the movements that lead to power. i missed a lot of the 5, this was one of this other g. that's where use either one of them they run in and

they wanted to share a pod coma. but he does right. because got the language from the communists and he will just buying for combo unity. and that's why he even was good for that. i. so today is, this is very interesting what you, what you're saying, i just want to jump in very, very quickly. course, i do apologize that you mentioned a moment ago that the southern western power is what we're interested in a politician all of the congo. is this it in any way linked to what people are saying now that if there's a conflict over the countries natural resources, lithium, co, bold, diamonds, gold is. is that a factor in this argument? that's true. it's a fact actually own oh, this militia in the income will be funded by the mentor nationalist. these are companies that are from us, from europe, from those be countries. and they fund melisha for them to know the country

minerals. all right, let me just, i'm just thinking that one more time coach, i'd jump story, but i want you to repeat that for me. just so i absolutely, i'm clear about this. you said multinational corporations are looking to exploit the natural resources of the d. c. and everyone to, i'm getting that correct. that's, that's correct. it's a fox, it's even the documented so that that is what they use instead of just because it seems as if there is a strong government in portable, they might not be it. well, it might not be easy for them to come and the business. so the easiest way to do is to fund this right here and there so that they can have a, a way of action. but it does that is the fast. and then they, they run the head under the 2 that's, that's the one that can only develop if rhonda had to take part in this a,

is this the game that is like i've done this is in power. what is doing it? just do loops, commodities, minerals, indecent call. i say ended they use as r. that's uh, there is a random community, that's an uncomfortable, that is mistreated. you haven't come up. we have more than $450.00 tribes. and these tribes us or not be tried. yeah. so how can we mystery is only one price. so yeah, this argument doesn't mean somebody that the, you know, that they will find the best in fighting that they're going to internal competition . also, when it comes to politics as well, but you know what, what you say to me, coach reminds me of the middle east with all sorts of minutes in groups of being financed and weaponized by external actors to achieve their interest in whatever region. it may be, but so particularly the multi national corporations are so often involves behind

the doc cousins. meantime coach, the rwandan flag with the face of his president to gama is burning the protest. i mean, the co should already chose this, this could turn into a, i don't know abroad across the board, a conflict. so i actually run the as low as it. so that's come or another attack run though, because rhonda has got into while we load there several times since 19 nineties. cool. when they will these genocide and run the government, his crows are both there several times. i can do this a 100 times, so he's permanently gamble by the government of google does not do anything to close the site. it's only yesterday i've heard that the call is government also decided to pro the and they were shooting that decided didn't use any. and, and above which i think is of rhonda. so this means that the company can become a bigger company because since, since it started the holy,

if you come through that were interested. but nowadays you have the southern region . i mean, so i thought forgot his name by the way it looked on our list. so to the media, they had the troops and como. yeah. do you have also the some, some within, i mean the 2 of them are mine. yeah. who are you combo also and decide to run that dependent upon said pretty clearly in the news. that's the one word that's rhonda with that's the point. and so we assume most of the opponent is altering and it is, i mean it's, it's, it's a, it's a fascinating situation because it's not just domestic politics or internal fighting. it's also external actors sticking. this thing goes in the pot and also getting involved the cushion of the ones on the west, a really great conversation. i'm so grateful for you, allowing me to get my head around this very complicated story. but because you are a professor of the regional school of water at the university of contrast to it's been a pleasure with you on the program. thank you for joining us. thank you very much.

thank you. and before we run the program here, and i'll tell you we just in now just getting some breaking news for you as protests, have it wrapped it in the capital of the democratic republic of the congo outside the gates of the american embassy. some locals are planning washington for supporting. we're wondering what they consider as aggression against the d. c. according to reports, the main slogan on the streets is quote, death to imperialist. and reports are incoming. the fire and smoke is rising on the streets from outside the french, and we're one, the embassies as well. well, the story is developing by the minute here on, on the international, get you all the updates the moment we return to the top of the hour. but for the meantime we have got you covered on era and online. the

june 22nd 1941 season before everyone in the country should be the radio announcement that was begun. fears fighting was already ranging, whereas legitimate troops and we'll go to the .
