it's a bit so i did little emotions on that. i left the republic of touch as done came to help immediately off to the city was liberated visualizations. i will show up on my team with one of the best in class at the bloom bush. thank you. just watch for the testing the if the what you're able to best buy tools, these are the facilities that medical facilities and also medical appointment. tracy, they affected by the fighting. yes. the reason potentially very high risk associated with that. the red cross sounds the alarm over the fighting in the democratic republic of congo, wanting in the if the valens in golf to the pentagon, funded by a lot, that the consequences could be catastrophic and operating

beyond periods of africa. 1000, the one that a father attacks against its peacekeeping forces in the d. r. c will be treated as an act of war. it comes out. the 13 of its troops were recently killed. i met the ongoing valve, it had deal beginning. the man who troubled the syrian government is proclaimed the country's next leader. almost all shara, also known as mama, all gilani has been anointed. it's a professional president and his school supplies for montgomery, the hello there. welcome to our the international reaching you found the russian capital with the latest from around the world. i have michael boucher now as fighting continues to rage in the east of the democratic republic of congo civilians. dylan just faced the risk of attack deputy viruses could be released

from the us, funded by a live in the area if it ends up in the fall. ready in line, and that's the warning from the red cross. there are a lot of dentists that are related to that tax on essential civilian infrastructure, potential damaged essentials, to be an infrastructure. and these by a lot is just the, uh why the example of the potential consequences that would happen if for lots of stations power plants get damaged. we are talking about to see a heavily populated area with the complex infrastructure with hospitals level retrieve the uh wall to stations power stations. uh uh, and of course there are lots of potential benches which would happen if uh, heavy fighting and heavy obtain the rate is used in these heavily populated areas.

what we're seeing today and i would need to concern is a very high number of people and half of them us civilians and to look to women and children. and of course they're all, these are the facilities medical facilities and also medical. the board retrace that are experiencing power costs, and that is a affected by the fight. yes, there is a potentially very high risk associated with that as well. security has been a considerable challenge yesterday. we found out about the routine of warehouse in beaumont, where we have our medical supplies that we're using to treat people in the hospital . so this is of course, absolutely unacceptable. and such behavior does seriously very seriously compromise our capacity and capacity of the community. every

organizations to provide assistance to the civilians in need. the d r. c has been unfortunately, something that's legal funding research to us from lots of crisis for many years because these country has been experiencing our conflicts to for d. gates and for us is which many target and openness ation. of course, it's more and more difficult to keep for the international community, the international public engaged and interested in the situations like these uh, but uh, the situation is just getting increasingly value for civilians. and of course, as there is more international attention that is now drone to this crisis, we really hope that so there are also diplomatic solutions and zip somebody take action that will bring us stability and peace to people in government. because this

is what the really need is a tremendous service organization. we can just put a plus to run the phones, but we can not to resolve the situation that needs to be addressed. the way i see is of k, also in the countries capital, has the testers, the tires, loc roads, and targeted embassies. that'd be accused foreign powers of supporting the m. 23. insurgents. has it been wreaking havoc in the countries? at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the ongoing filings and the other ones in florida. but lecture right at the school of law, all the university of lawanda, thomas police, acts as a be situation we're seeing right now is the results of the in action by the united nations, coupled with mistakes made by former colonial powers. my to what is happening in the the data see has been the result of the colonial fast. yes. 1000000000 was in

control of the data. and they think they both that the, my patients, that both of the my patients of the body and confidence of both of the marketing, the belgium territory is part of what we're meeting today. because the, the debate, again, it is vision. who do i have left behind and the administration close to getting that's the area of the eastern part of the can get on the speaking people was was for to the get us see after that but in the conference. so i think put on you, it is him and it's in but have some footprints in that kind of interesting to the data that you in has been in the dnc for the last day of the u. n. a has watched over the one over 150 rainbow groups. so, but anything in the data and the meetings made public statements,

but i've done nothing. so do you in these up for the been at the diesel that you said the other wives of africa says 13 soldiers for bates based keeping mission in the d. r. c. had been killed presidents throughout my post assets that the troops were only there to maintain order of his defense minister has won that any further attacks could be considered an act of war. so the stage window is by the above, i use the present deed one them to so you feel when can, if i take it as a deal that i shall fall in just and that people indefinitely divided ones as well . so logic is defense full, signed the defense administer a once again coming on the fire and you missed a conflict in central africa. this time, the 16 is the democratic republic of congo, as we heard the news that so that's a good to coming, i'm defiant and not for the 1st time in that region, raises

a few questions, many all scheme. what is it doing to and why is it on the attack? and for a nation at peace, it does seem to be doing an awful lot of upside to central africa. but to answer some of those patients, this at the south african national defense force is part of the full intervention to gauge, along with troops from pennsylvania. and to my now we allow, we has also been hit by the recent fighting in the d. c. the 3 of its soldiers killed as well. so that's the cat has also a lot of history in the d. c. move in 10 years of it. so the african troops of what part of the united nations peacekeeping efforts in the country in the early 2, thousands and the split tissues. and the routing parties have also tried their hand at some mediation on several occasions, which hasn't really worked out so far. and the dmv see it has really been the pay sweetly so the african government has tried to assume the mantle of african

dealership and for better or worse, they have backed up their commitment with boots on the ground because there's quite a lot of different met to capital at stake and very important to note as well. the said african soldiers that have a united nations mandate to peasy. they've been involved in many you in peacekeeping missions, to the d. c. sanctioned by the united nations security council, which gave us the rather the presence legitimacy on the international law. it is a very dangerous commitments that the country has made. as we can see, it has really put itself right in the middle of everything with 13 of its soldiers now killed. nonetheless, ad injuries and killings probably, notwithstanding, the government is confident that to this is the right thing to do. and the person who's as the so that's a cost, but some of the statements that you're seeing coming from south africa side. busy has been criticized by the one that particularly the one made by defense minister

engine would say, what happened is until the one does the response. the minister of defense of south africa is lying. this is meaningless, bragging that will not bring peace in eastern d. c. in fact, south africa already confirmed that the firing came from aaron, congolese, f, a r d c. troops. let me be clear, the southern african development community mission is not a peacekeeping force. it is always being belligerent in mandate the attacks on rwanda, by some south african officials, necessitate a response. the role of the south african national defense both in the d. c, has never been clear up. decide with them protect congolese president, chief of katy, his genocidal allies, the f. d. a law, his many local militias and his european medicine res. what's assist the record straight? we will probably hear from the defense ministry. so the africa engine was said about what that warning was about who it was made to, and by whom, specifically, because we also understand places in from a post a did hold a to the funny conversation, but he's the one to come to for the president can call me to discuss the recent um,

escalation of that conflict, but the admission doesn't seem to be going well. so far. i'm reading off for so that i forgot. and at this stage, the president of the country has reaffirmed pretoria is committed to peace urging everyone to respect the dfcs activity and to to engage in different metrics processes to end the conflict. now for more details, less cross live to political research and also of new wide lies came highlight joining the ride here kim is good to have you join me. so how concerned are you by the current state of play, especially when we now have so bostic that's talking about the declaration of war. busy if rwandan troops or even one the taxes, troops as an advocate may be i think we'll quote in a really wearing situation, the situation in congo is explosive. it's not

a new problem. we've had that. the flushing and the conflict has been based as long as almost independence has been, but it's particularly fluid floyd and expensive at the moment. and i think the, if it's of south africa at the moment of causing more damage, been good. and this is at a time when africa is trying to silence the guns. but what we're seeing is african states to an african states. and uh, the declaration of war by a senior deed is in south africa, i think is very, very irresponsible. and one has to one to in whose interest is off, africa saving, right? no, i think the composer lots of damage. i think the suite of a regional of a split of finance a continental damage is the end and soft ethical. the under the guise of being a peace keeping full, it looks like they do more damage than good at the moment and the declaration of or

is absolute the, to me, unfortunate and should be withdrawn. all right, talking about a regional impact. how easily could all the countries big. busy and into these prices, if you'd escalates to i just think that these grace potential for regional a rachel regional conflict. and this is going to put on already worked on the continent into a predicament they, they should may never recover from. and i think it's incumbent upon responsible for can beat as no to insure piece of a and also identify in the situation and come good to other villains. and who are the good guys? because what we have seen is a complete misinterpretation of a situation in congo across media and mainstream media at liberty actually. and i

think that's preaching even more patients. but i do believe that's what we seen as an efforts of to almost paying for one to as the the button. and i think that's a very incorrect protection. but what we do have an africa is a lot of effort to indeed is quite jealous of the, a great development that's happened in one to end. the great success of a country who was once in the, in the, in the fitness of the, the world squish genocide. so i think that one is going to come under a lot of attack and both, basically most the street, the and the pistol of propaganda. rather been introduced actually like if, if pieces off the cards for now, what would they take to at least return. com. that's to the situation there.

i think we need to understand the politics of interest in the, in the country. so we do have people and countries and military ministry forces the agitation and you know, i, i'm skeptical about this a peacekeeping initiative because across africa, not early in the congo, but across the continent. we have seen peacekeeping forces, not quills or bindings. in fact, in some instances, they close move drama and 2 more then good. we've, we've had lots of accounts of the rate of ordinary citizens body. so peace keeping forces. i think the only solution is full, need to ship, to address the fundamental issues of a brief complex and to transportation being come go. but i think what's have, what's happening unfortunately is that the leadership in the country is so weak

that the chances of a piece are wasting on people who may not one piece or have the support of his own people. and to drive a true piece, negotiation. all right, very speculation that this conflict in the d r c is about controlled by lucrative mineral resources. the argument carry much weight. what are you interpreting from this? well, certainly the products of interest actually overrides any other politics. you know, the will of the people and the well being of the people is often sit concrete to the great pursuit of mental wealth 5 wisdom plays. and we see some governments in africa lot the teen or foster having enough of that and expecting us and wish to influence. but i think it's more than that because the dates that receipt of a generations encounter, these people,

these are not just the statistics. these are children who have lost mothers, has been displaced and have no say could, could be deprived of education and faithful being deprived of the future. and if we look back and understand the history of come to, we know that that country has not enjoyed peace since the terrible assassination of a true nita in the, in the that's being patrice lymphoma, who was the 1st prime minister. and because he went to dis, the interest of the waste he was assassinated. but this one isn't meant of the story, the human but devastation. the last generations for the, the genocide that we saw in the in are one to institute sees, is so damaging the soul of that region of people in congo. and i did one to and we see

a result for most full and check out in the current day of a generation in congress and, and going to and that has to, has to be resolved. i was listening to the coming to of desktop to david, met somebody who's a specialist in conflicts in the area. and he was saying, congress is the pointing part of africa. and my con, my concern now is that we have countries like south africa mounted country. i asked, you mean assuming the heat and making sure that the pointing part is going to fall over and then we're going to never recover from the implications of the such port leadership. i think it's a crisis. i think um the world should be looking at this very seriously. you know, in a way, if we look back just my final points on this is that the 1994 will look to way when we had the world, the world's worst genocide. possibly one of the most the started cool question

sides in the world. when in rwanda against the cookies and the world looks away, the will not look away now, as we see a human tragedy unfolding in real time. all right, and we have to leave you here now and it came halla, political, or research, and also has no wide lives. thank you so much for your insight here. thank you. i to enter the us now more than a week into a mako robeto's pay their eyes, us secretary of state, and the fact that he's not the meeting of these european condo pods and didn't even bother to call the blocks for him. policy chief, had many wondering whether brussels was being left out in the cold by the new trump administration. and while he has now finally picked up the phone to kind of colors, questions of a just how friendly this friendship is going to be, remains the are to contribute to rate to a mass then takes us through the story. well, if you thought that maybe the european union's chief diplomat kaya callous was

a one, hit wonder that all she can do every time she opened her mouth was a diplomatic equivalent of a toddler sitting down in the piano and mashing the keys together to bang out chopsticks like, tune about how much she hates russia and bottom, you're put in while all the other plans in the circus tent font over her, like she's some kind of gifted diplomatic genius. you'd be wrong because that look out folks, she's branching out for callouses latest acts. she's trying out the persona of the cheerleader who's desperately trying to get the attention of the dumb jock. that would be washington under the new trump administration. what comes to our relations and i've extended invitation to a secretary of state, mark rubio to also join the for the for us council and to explain the views of failure, united states, and then the most so are willing to visit washington as soon as possible.

yeah, you may notice you if you call them out in public, but why don't just go over there and click down the door already send them a 1000 text messages and e mails? i'm sure that'll work. clearly, she is in the rules gal who's into playing hard to get she's doing pretty much the opposite of that. there's a lot of pressure on cal us right now in brussels to get rubio to explain this. busy busy greenland thing meaning trumps obsessing about taking over green languages and you territory with 55000 and of its citizens slides. is he for real with all of this or not as if rubio knows. maybe trump doesn't even know at this point or from one day the next. anyway, it turns out that rubio couldn't even be bothered plugging in his web cam. uh for the zoom call, the callous monitors him to do with her. you foreign affairs council of members, state ministers on monday. hey kaya, good news, his entourage did send the message through the presto, which must mean that he's really in to you. rubio didn't show up at the meeting on monday or hop on via zoom. in fact, there was no sign, he replied,

when asked about the invitation from callous a spokesperson for rubio said in an email, we have no travel to announce that this time. yeah, it sounds super psyched to speak to our turns out that rubio was blowing up the phone though, calling everyone from the new zealand for our minister to the saudi crown prince. and also the foreign ministers and of jerry cats are egypt, diane morocco, jordan can, yeah. and the dominican republic. and also the for a ministers has some e. u. member states, actual countries, unlike the like italy, germany and france, who were actually, you know, run by a democratically elected leaders, unlike calice and cleaners. so as the royal commission and only after all that did rubio actually manage you ready? this is the tension building here to find out what's going to happen next to sandwich in a call. it's a callous in between the estonian for a minister and the rwandan president. and now because he's father to even

acknowledge her existence after publicly assessing over him for days like he was russian, president vladimir, put in that basically means that the us and the you are totally dating now. a good call with us secretary of state rubio. we discussed global issues where the, you and us have the same interest, including russia's war and ukraine. iran malign influence and challenges posed by china. the, you and us are always stronger together looking forward to meeting you soon. well, it sounds like she's already planning their wedding and they haven't even had our 1st date yet. no word of agreement though, a just quote global issues that the you and us have in common that apparently don't involve breeland's, which you think might be worth mentioning. you think the call made by something like hey mark, uh what's up with all the streamlines stuff anyway?

are we really going to more with you guys or is your boss just roofing? just following plans for european conquests. you think the greenland would have been maybe the only item on the agenda for that call at this point, but instead check out what rubio is. team said that he in callas did end up talking about secretary rubio on the school, the need to strengthen transatlantic security. code for europe to increase defense spending and highlighted the challenges posed by china. the secretary welcomed the extension of a u sanctions against russia for its war against ukraine. guy and girl. that dude sounds like he's making it all about him. sounds like rubio asked her to sing or stick it to fruit in song and she blushed and started on that for all about greenland. and then he was like, bothering rob with i really loved those use sanctions that you just renewed against russia keeps that up. and she blushed. probably we're talking here about the same sanctions. they're totally crippling the economy to the us is economic benefit and

the use over dependence on washington. but apparently, the fact that the trump administration and marco rubio have even acknowledged calluses existence is considered a big way for the you these days. and to the middle east now in december, she slept beside the resume of bosher were less sad in syria. and now just over a month later, he slipped into the presidency. that's after i made all the shower, also known as well. how much i'll gilani was named as the countries into media had authorized to for my transitional government. right now, let's get more of this now and speak to ortiz, be least, bureau chief, my, i for notion of joining the right now. more as good to have you do? i mean, so it was a move. maybe you had expected oldest while a book, can you flush out the details for us? get a good evening to your mike. well, yes. hey, dude, in a historic shift series, new leadership is dismantling the legacy of the

a saw a era setting the stage for an entirely new political and security order. so where is the fact to leader i met on the shut off has been declared the president for the transitional period. according to the sewer in state news agency. they knew authorities have the souls, the people's assembly, the army, all security services and arm globes. while also suspending the countries previous constitution, charles interim administration will now form i legislative council to run the country into a permanent constitution is approved. and in another major move the boss party, which was syria for all was 6. that case is no more. it marks the end of the socialist policies that have shaped serious is 9263 and you government is already talking about privatizing state owned assets, subtracting foreign investments and we open an international trade show the reminder they shake up and see where it didn't come out of nowhere,

they started in late november when armed opposition groups led by how yeah, definitely there's some launched a lightning fast defensive. the h t, as is a college sion of syria based sunni, is listed in certain groups that he rolled from to i've had that know strong, i'd call it as for of a branch and syria. met them shut off, was the groups key, seger, and just days they seized the vast territories, ultimately capturing damascus eventually by side of the side was forced to step down and left the country. but despising sweeping changes, the normans, challenges lie ahead, see where it is in deep economic crisis version. it's with dad. tend devastated infrastructure rebuilding the country could cost as much as $400000000000.00 experts say and amounts far beyond see where his coverage is to dp and politically . the road ahead is just as tricky. the new government must find a way to negotiate with kurt or slat forces in the north of the country. and also of course, bring together various armed groups into

a u unified national army. so see where it is now sending across roads. what happens back straight is future for decades. the out, what does all of these mean now for the region info siri as relations with all the countries? right, maria, if you're there, i am asking the you've given us a bad round. now what does this mean for the region and for serious relations with other countries? all right, it seems we have lost the feedback. now we will secondly, come back to my definition of a barrel very cheap from the middle east, giving us update from what's going on in syria. right? you're watching our international stay with us for all the latest from around the world. thanks for watching you and i'll see you again on top of the why not

the, the despite the shelling children here are given special attention, the life near the front can have its upsides. and they called ourselves when your boss, so you know what to do disorder nibble in beverly and what you want you to know what it says and your new position. you find the appointment at any point to expose the boating simply chapter the lance of the read for you is a bit with what you did. you did a appreciate the

that the biscuit, the spoke when i start to publish, and it shows the good afternoon ship. i had to look at the garden able to ship like the charities that's one go to the girlfriend especially to hook up to show that you kind of look for your product, the more or less. yeah. to them. awesome. great. and let me ask you this might have been just night, you're watching someone i run over to me during the ukrainian occupation and heavy fighting nation. this battalions was stationed in schools, leaving children with no way to study. now despite ongoing selling, people are doing their best to bring their lives back to normal and we're the.
