it will be slower, nimble, that's better suddenly issued. the moscow accused is that you create an officer of war crimes for bombing a school in russia's embattled 1st regions and attempting to draw attention away from the torture and execution of civilians by gifts forces in the nearby area. for warning, distressing images are, how do you see it? do you have or did you phone with the attack and the curse region comes shortly after russian troops discovered the bodies of at least 22 low boys who were apparently massacred by ukrainian troops is rarely prime minister, put a positive spin on the destruction of 90 percent of guys in territory from the war, appraising the idea from re shaping the map of the region and expressing hope the

us president will help with further expansion. our decisions and the courage of our soldiers redrawn the mass. but i believe that working closely with the president from work and reward even further and for the better the china slams trumps decision to impose and 10 percent tear up on his export to the united states . saying the move violates and world trade organization rules. the and the protesters in the d. r. c. capitol storm, the embassies member, wanda, and several western countries. after the m 23 militant group capture 60 city of go my killing at least 770 people on the

the, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. the russian investigative committee has opened a criminal case against a ukrainian army colonel. miss a regrade commander, rushed as loud car push the is accused of ordering a deadly muscle strike honest civilian building and rushes, embattled occurs region. the number of victims has not yet been confirmed. the cranial non forces committed another walk fine by launching a targeted missile strike on the boarding school in the city of sewage up the loans you'll find them in. miss solves from the some we reach in both re quoted by boston . the defense systems, this pro location is aimed at distracting the world public from the atrocities of the key. if we see which we are committed to attend the village of roost. crap, i'd say in the cruellest region destroyed by the crate and all the forces on the civilian facility, once again demonstrated the terrorist in human nature of those. what empowering to, if the russian defense ministry has accused key of,

of carrying out basically of commit to get will crime by carrying out a missile strike against the boarding school in the town of subject in russia's quarters region. basically, according to the russian defense ministry, they have detected a missile strike launched from this to me region over the u. cray of, of the country of ukraine. and they're saying that those massages, they headed right towards that voting school in the vicinity of the course region of russia, and that's a targeted civilians, according to the russian defense ministry. this basically, this action taken and this will crime committed by ukraine was to distract the international attention from a world truly harrowing discovery made by the russian soldiers in the village of those cape rich staff whose corporation is one of the villages that was most recently liberated by the russian forces in the quote, a scrooge an overall shot and vad the russian soldiers, they discovered in one of the basements. basically they discovered bodies of

civilians who were not just killed but were brutally executed by the ukrainian troops. i did a report on that, he's an extract from it. and do you see a know that it was meant to be a standard clean up operation. instead, a bloodcurdling discovery fingerprints of ukraine's months long presence in this village be above you. all i do and i do. yep. yeah, jim full is do those little, i mean, these civilians were killed by straight bullets. they didn't just happened to be in the way of a random piece of crap. no. they were restrained, tortured and executed with a diabolical meticulousness, which is, it is what you and i guess you're not the leader who script but each the is one of the villages most recently liberated by the russian forces

in the course region. and as they rounded up those ukrainian soldiers who failed to flee the settlement. little did the russians know that one of the captives would admit to the atrocities we raped the girl with particular cruelty. then i made her neil and then shot her. we went to another house, there were 2 men and one woman. we cut the veins on one of the men's hands. we decided to mock him just like that. then we killed them both. after that i raped the woman made her kneeling shutter. so all these images is truly something that team doesn't want the international community to pay attention to. and speaking of sue john, it is under the ukrainian control right now. it was arguably the biggest target by the world for the ukrainians. so at the very beginning of the board were in cash and the, the carried out that they launched back in august last year. but that particular boarding school, it was well known for russia,

it was well known for russia that the ukrainians, they did use it to hold civilians and they even use it as a bit of a something of a prison for civilians ensued. in fact, the russians permanent representative to the un accused ukraine of using that boarding school as the of using it as a concentration camp, quote and quote, his, his exact words, we'll just pull a good. russia has numerous pieces of evidence indicating the concentration camps were set up in a number of settlements controlled by ukrainian militants. in the course region. civilians who were unwilling or unable to evacuate were forcibly brought there. for instance, between 70 and 100 civilians were forcibly driven into the basements of the sewage or financial and subjected to moral degradation. used for filming propaganda, stories for ukrainian and foreign media. given the history given the page, agree that the ukrainians have since the very beginning of their incursion into the

coast region. because of the rule, there has been documented evidence and that has been video footage confirming that the ukrainians that were there. well, for instance, rounding up civilians and forcefully having them evacuated to ukraine from so just given that they have a really they have to shed, little consume, they have show looking, concerned toward civilian towards the civilian population and towards this really is that we're trying to flee to russia from sewage up for example, out there has been plenty of video evidence in video footage, confirming that the ukrainians they were shooting up very you and well unmistakably civilian cause that we're trying to play from suits you at the very beginning of their bordering cache and again, so really right now, it is unclear as to how much you over human, terry, and how many, how much of a humanitarian disaster this strike is. but russia is adamant,

and russia is blaming this on ukraine. russia is foreign ministry spokesman says the school strike is a terrorist act that must be fully investigated by the international community. meanwhile, a forensic expert from the curse region has detailed the harrowing state of the bodies discovered in the area. our correspondent reported on a little store, but each of us we received bodies from the village of 1st got the origin that all of them were emaciated with science a violent death, they were predominantly elderly people. most of the bodies had a gunshot in trepner woods. however, 2 corpses of elderly man and women with blunt trauma to the swords with multiple bye electro refractory stood out, their work intelligence to the lungs. and there was an outpouring of blood in the plural cavity. their cause of death was blunt just trauma. however, in addition to what the ones nice were injured and the men's left hand was injured, with the car po bone fractured all of this fixed. so the brutality that was inflicted on them, the woman's body also stands out as it was found to have various injuries,

blunt trauma to the chest and gas shut, ones which were predominately localized in her back as well as size of the electric shock. i recognize that it was difficult for the forensic expert to examine this corpses. first of all, psychologically, because we understand the mechanism of this injuries, we understand the pain and suffering this people are experiencing. we spoke earlier with serbian war correspondent daniels. demetrius says he has his efforts to shift blame on russia for atrocities in the course region backfired for ukraine. it's hard to say, well, why i'm full, is this a few cream talking to boarding school and so job. because the rest and propaganda in mainstream narrative didn't pay any serious if there isn't a gruesome crimes committed and call fast as ordered by capture of ukrainian soldiers in the village square footage. and a crust region. in this particular case, off her rock at the back on the board, included as to job well known and well marked of

a description as improvised refugee for uh, your remaining sensor assistance. so for us and for the ration who are unfortunately saved on there occupied the story. investor media, we already have traditional suicides. i q is each other narrative. it's customary to 1st publish news, investor and media that is roger to blame and then to size accused each other. so if this is some try to flight fly or play uh inside of that presence administration, if you wanted to shift focus from the go for the extra and the crime. ready there, that's apple. back far. we will, as soon as he says all is well and ukraine is closer to peace than ever unless, despite a sharp decline in ukraine's population, which is apparently good for the country, according to one of its former presidential candidates hands. this, the quality of their society has improved and that cubes dirty has just got. the

police acute population has decreased, but the quality of the population has increased significantly. all those millions that we had before the war. and before the full scale invasion were mostly of low quality, we have the strongest army in europe and the most courageous population in europe. and perhaps in the entire western world. there are more national list and ukraine than in the entire western world combined. we just have to understand that we are only at the beginning of the journey. these are just the 1st few years. you may say we have problems troubles everywhere, but who cares? the most important thing is the which we are simply amazing. but those much improved ukrainians are increasingly resisting the forest mobilization efforts nationwide. in the full time, a region, an armed man attacked and allegedly killed a military recruiter in the act of snatching another civilian off the street the conscript and his savior escaped to the scene. but were later caught by police when

you printing them, he appeared to have little sympathy for the recruiter. the murder of a military conscription officer is the consequence of the military conscription, offices work. people do not trust the military, do not know what their future holds, but they do know people who are able to bride their way out. this gives rise to extremes and a separate incident, a new cranes wrote in the region. there was an explosion near a local recruitment office on saturday. please confirm one man was killed and several more were wounded. reaction to the news on social media has shown heavy support for the attack. hell, yeah. get those for how many were killed. i hope a lot of them were killed for all those they murdered. no wonder those idiots should be sent to the front blind or be dealt with like that. they deserved it. but those cowards from enlistment office realize that retribution for their lawlessness

will sooner or later catch up to them in one form or another. i do not feel sorry for any of them. let them die. the italian laura correspondent, andrea lucida. hughes says ukrainians eyes have been open to, to how western influence has affected their country and only the people can change it. it's clear that there are a lot of best on that i don't want go to the front line for die for keyboards that ask the policy, but they don't care because they want more and more man on the front line. i think a lot of ukrainian now start to understand that what's happened now in ukraine, it's the results of the west, of all the sea and the action of west at 40 dish and west of and that you will be a special you will be in institutions that start to play with ukraine in 2014 and now a lot of ukrainian start to understand. unfortunately,

unfortunately this happened after the escalation of the conflict bought the stuff in columbus stop. and this is very important because if something you can and then your premium policy can change, can start only from the people. the is really prime minister, has left televi for washington to meet with donald trump before his plan took off. benjamin netanyahu said he would try to convince the us president to help redraw the math of the middle east. the decisions we made in the war of already changed the face of the middle east. our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. but i believe that working closely with president trump, we can redraw it even further, and for the better, i believe that we can strengthen security, broadening the circle of bees, and achieve a remarkable here of these students pets. oh,

this comes after president trump said it would be best to quote, just clean out the entire gaza strip. some is really officials champions, similar plans at the start of the war. however neighboring arab states have vehemently rejected the calls for further displacements. for you in data estimates over 85 percent of the enclave as population has already been forced out of their homes. thanks to the ongoing ceasefire agreement, some of that this place or now we're turning to the north of gaza. a column of these traveling palestinians was attacked on sunday plate reports say one child was killed in the blast. the idea of has confirmed the strikes saying this fighter jet, fired on a vehicle moving outside, they agreed upon route with the seas far in place. regardless of the idea of has largely shifted its focus to the west bank. huge explosions have just rocked the city of jeanine. the ongoing rays in the north of the

westbank, southern mass demolition of palestinian homes are poured say at least one hospital was damaged in the explosions. israel's finance minister has called on benjamin netanyahu to a search sovereignty over the west bank, referring to the area by its historical names to day. and some are you own. a great deal is at stake, the complete victory and gaza, the destruction of from us and the return of all our hostages, the strengthening of our security on all borders. this danger must be removed. we must strengthen our gripping sovereignty over the homeland and judea and samaria. we have such a small country and therefore we must work to avoid evil. we will not take gaza and multiply this thread at the heart of our country. 20 times. we are strengthening our gripping and imposing sovereignty in judea, and samaria is rouse ban on work conducted by the un refugee agency and gaza. and the west bank has come into effect this week and mid ongoing controversy,

the groups communications director told our tv is running move, threatens the already fragile cease fire deal in our teams on the ground. whether it's the strip or across the pines, when spanking tutoring, east jerusalem, they are continuing with the delivery on services. we don't have much idea of how the is really government plans if it does want to plan in the implementation of hospice hospice cent fee. over the past 10 days since the ceasefire started, we have seen indeed an increase, a significant increase in the snow. all humanitarian aid that was built in the gulf of distributed people. 60 percent, all a bit that came in was voting by an invalid and distributed to reach hundreds of

thousands of people in cuba being in the areas that we were not able to access before like northern garza, so that's very waste on the east this band and comes into in fact that then the, the faith off the ceasefire. he's a going to be who the name jeffrey, the because we are the largest human a channel for authoration organization in java. and we have something that is often under reported about his, the trust of the communities in jobs. are they new and they trust and for them and is life saving? eats the doctor, is the nurse, it's the person who's giving them and bolts of food or of age. so there is that trust which is a very unique to, to under the africans have rallied outside the rwandan embassy and the capital of another lands. protesters carried connelly's flags and

a chance of slogans calling for an end to the crisis and the d. r. c. where the m 23 militant group is on the offensive and warning you may find into the following images distressing. at least the 770 bodies arrived in the morgue of gomez city during battles this week. according to the r c. officials, many more bodies lined the streets of the city that's been seized by the m. 23. the militants are now are part of the moving toward another eastern city and have pledged it to reach the countries a capital calculated locals are choosing rolanda and western states of backend the group and have stormed their embassies in kinshasa. the . we worked 5 kilometers to get here. we have only one desire to destroy this house . look at these chairs i took,

no one is going to stop me. i'm at home here in my own country. the cold come a must understand that we, the congo, these people are angry. if this building falls, then let it fall. the all of this is the property of our country, even though we have sit fired with no one regrets. this, those who have died and gone are worth more than anything we've destroyed here. following the takeover of the congo river alliance grouping, which is associated with the m $23.00 issue, the statement. the problem is, the militants enter the area after being invited by locals to ask for protection.

the presidency is the result of a general crisis in our country, which does not spare any category of citizens. thousands of displaced people have been taken hostage by the government. in contrast to we are in the city of go from a to wants of the multiple distress cools of our compatriots who are living in a situation of insecurity which was imposed on them by the coalition. of the can she also regime we all come glean? we shall continue the march of liberation to can shasta when they ask us to retreat . where did they want us to retreat to? we are not going anywhere. members of the congolese dias for in belgium and france, have protested against what they call your pin simplicity. in the d r. c. crisis, hundreds descended on the headquarters in brussels, accusing the block of financing, rolanda, and my extension and 23. in paris protesters decried of the lack of international response to the central african crisis compared to all the money sent by the west to ukraine. but some of the protesters also say the b or c complex is all about

natural resources. kinshasa accuses k. don't take all of helping the m. 23 militants gain access to the dfcs mineral resources which are critical for the production of electric vehicles and mobile phones. rolanda has denied any involvement, however, a year ago assigned a key resource supply deal with the you and somehow point to western interest in the ongoing war. the mineral value chains are critical to lawanda is economy. the country is a major player on the world's 10. tell them extraction. it also produces 10 tungsten gold and the opium, and has the potential for lithium and rare earth elements. in addition, rolanda with its favorable investment climate and rule of law can become a hub for value. addition in the mineral sector says the deal was inc, so the empty, the city, a group established for control of legal by a mining everything east and congo, every, a whole deposit soft 10 to them. it re,

mitchell extracted from colton. and i see you in miss sitting combo said over 15 percent of the will supply off. this q material comes from the cap to give you, you in experts did some digging and solve that to one does quotes and explore with the have increased by 50 percent increase to the city compared to just the year before this mean to the one that became the world's largest colton. x 143, between the city. here's the catch. the numbers shows the world's biggest cancel them producer is not for $1.00, but the d. c. it has increased. it's 10 to the mining activities in recent years. in total, it puts out $908.00 metric tons of the be until the 20 to the city, producing nearly 4 to one percent of the world's mind supplies. that's now take you back to the e u signing. that's memorandum of understanding with strategic amendable, what one to guess who's a major player when it comes to to add to the mix directions according to the the c

. know once again one day you might to question why it's not the minimal which to yes. well, some have the answer you, we're going to use the funding run out because of my conditional companies want to accede to, to have access to your sources. this is the easiest way. this is the cheapest way cross country is kind of just giving better sources like that. let's either use anybody, you can see that on them on this is initial of my condition. was that roll minutes of a kind of things such as the d. c is extracted from that country without any been association . they all was being conducted in order to get access to those areas with these very important 3 of minimal costs. and unfortunately, then the people of africa being played coal against each other for the sake of

gaining access to those mineral. let's see, you're the one. the memorandum has left a very bit to taste in the mouth of the congress. these lead, it's a publication and very bad taste. we're one that continues to hide behind the m 23, which is why i do not talk to this terrorist group. my priority is peace. i want definitive piece for my country for that i am ready to put a pause on my goal like desires, if we can obtain it with non more like methods, i will sign with both hands. but if it takes more to have peace, i will also do it with both hands. the c foreign minister went even further that he directly accused envelope in countries of flute. she gets results, disagreement on what the european union terms strategic, raw materials is not an isolated occurrence. the use complicity in the exportation of our resources and rwanda's aggression against our nation cannot be overlooked. we have denounced these actions. they undermine the mutual trust necessary for our partnership with the european union. but is this just history repeating itself is

only 2 sizes. so you and puppies to report to concluding that governments stuff. you've done the and one that was to something okay to it in some parts of the, the see what profiting from the conflict by lead to diamonds gold to colton. and as the precious metals, the reason departure of troops should not be interpreted as a sign of rwanda is willingness to reduce its considerable involvement in the evacuation of valuable resources to reduce the level of form conflict or to diminish the humanitarian crisis and the region. economic exploitation and its various forms will continue relying on a less conspicuous armed force and alternative strategies for carrying out the exploitative activities. any with this? yeah, washington has the 201. the ad, you've gotten the oxy legally accepting minerals from congo. one does present push back saying it would be best for washington to monetize phone activities. and this is, does a more mining in the eastern new coma or in the coma than the federal. and i never

knew a perfect plain game. but basically, what lies behind this with need for companies or sources. cobalt is critical to the renewable energy transition. let's take me to the middle is required for the best of production. batch leaks of vehicles and energy storage systems tend to them is used that phone solar panels and wind turbine components. that's the thing about these minimal resources. ostrich, egypt for b, u, as claims to green its economy and to become climate roots over 3 to 50. they even admitted kobolds, lucy and tend to them. all of them all considered as critical and full of strategic import is for hugo p society as well. fig. and now, as a conflict is given, the world has largely failed to notice the english actions and how, which is the hall hearted condemnation for one day. a new packed has fall, speak multinational companies that want to make sure that they have access to

the minerals of the d, f c. and they don't care whether they care to through the government of the d, r c o through the innovation. so for one, the whole through any other group, such as the him, 23 good. the only thing they interested in is to get those minerals because those minerals is single in the manufacturing of computers and of smartphones. and in fact, some of those minerals only found in the d r c. so it's easy, simple for them to have access to those minerals. china has denounced the trump and ministrations decision to impose a 10 percent tariff on its exports to the united states. they think that commerce ministry has warranted the action violates the world trade organization rules.

china is strongly dissatisfied with this and firmly opposes it. china is position is consistent and from there, i'll know when is and trade was and tariff was the unilateral and position of tariffs by the united states seriously violates world trade organization rules and will not only fail to solve its own problems, but will also be detrimental to both sides and the whole world. and the new tariff policy is also drawn harsh criticism from america is neighbors to the north and south says, trump has signed executive orders imposing 25 percent tariffs on mexican and canadian goods beginning february. first, ottawa has retaliated by announcing import fees against the us. well, mexico cities says it prefers dialogue to retribution, but doesn't rule out future penalties. canadian blogger, in china, alex from puerto fi, says, washington will soon fil, depends from the action it's taken. well, let's not forget the mining giants of the world, china who produced the most gold. i'm the most rare earth that need for

a lot of these components. if i was the ceo of apple right now, i'd be very concerned how i'd be going to washington and meeting the president the united states and saying, wait a minute here. this is going to impact uh, a lot of your fortune 500 companies as well. but you know, let's not to jump to high here. it's only 10 percent for china. of course. uh, you know, being canadian uh 25 percent care of, uh, is quite alarming to wake up to probably coming this monday. but canada has mechanisms as well to retaliate. remember, this is not a one way street here, and america will soon realize that throwing tear ups to try to get its own books in order is not the solution. right for more and all the stories we're covering here on our to international visit, our website r t dot com the
