the assembly district anymore, the, as donald trump loves humiliation and vladimir zalinski for refusing to assign a deal on ukrainian minerals. it appears the former committee and may have already signed an agreement with the u. k. just days before the us, the president was sworn in the guys, the cease fire could be in jeopardy with outrage in israel over the box to return of a hostages body. pulling in colonial dependence has been mostly replaced by neo colonialism . former metric poles in western transnational corporations have monopolized the markets in supply chains. and the russian foreign minister used as the g 20 platform to draw attention to economic exploitation of the global south. during the 2nd day of the international summit in south africa,

the you are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. the rift between washington and the key of is dining steam as us secretary of state. marco rubio now says trump's irritation was bottom is zalinski is legitimate, as the premium later has thrown a wrench into the crucial minerals deal. i think president trump is very upset, present zelinski and i and some case, and rightfully so. look. number one, joe biden had frustrations as the landscape. people shouldn't forget it, their newspaper articles out there about how we trust adam and a phone call. because zalinski instead of saying thank you for all your help is immediately out there messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting. i think the 2nd thing is, frankly, i was personally very upset because we had a conversation with president zelinski, the vice president and i,

the 23 of us. and we discussed this issue about the mineral rights, so we explained to them. but we want to be in joint venture with you, not because we're trying to steal from your country, but because we think that's actually a security guarantee where your partner and an important economic endeavor, we get to get paid back some of the money, the tax payers have given close to $200000000000.00 and it also, and now we have a vested interest in the security of ukraine and he said, sure, we want to do this deal. it makes all the sense in the world. the only thing is i need to run it through my legislative process. they have to approve it. i read 2 days later that zalinski is out there saying i rejected the deal. i told them no way that we're not doing that. well, that's not what happened in that meeting, so you start to get upset by somebody were trying to help these guys round us narrows ok through show, i mean, walk racial for washington as it would allow us to investing ukraine's minerals in exchange for the raid. and trump even send his treasury secretary to key if we're a party you voice wasn't very welcomed and according to trump best and actually was

supposed to sign that agreement, but actually returned empty handed way and also mentioning the best and wasn't very welcomed. and he was supposed to meet with the landscape. but that meeting doesn't happen for the following reasons. here's the thing, we don't get our money back. and we tell them that the deal is we do something similar, right? more or less. and it struck best who actually went there rather the all the village he was sleeping and unavailable for me to be travelling many hours on the train, which today they were talking about the secretariat. he was there to get a document signed. and when he came back empty, they would sign the document. but what a twist k u. k actually turns out to have already had disagreement with kids, which could have upset washington no to of course. and it appears to actually the

lensky food washington into an agreement that he already signed with you k. let's take it also semester, you k as a preferred partner for ukraine's energy sector, critical mineral strategy and green steel production. that's also an official u. k. ukraine. $180.00 a partnership declaration which it states that one of the goals that it goals is. and i'm gonna quote this to support the development of a ukrainian critical mineral strategy to support the maximize ation of benefits from ukraine's national resources. meaning in your case, or you will take advantage of ukraine's resources, were free to speculate had that 100 d is agreements with u. k. signed by t of that it had a secret parts. and it was speaking about the mirror minerals because the landscape was actually merrily thinking of it himself visited for him. you know, mean he's the tiny bit, there was a visit to the british prime minister to the signing of the 100 year partnership

agreement. maybe this is a fundamentally new format of relations. the closest relations are now between ukraine and britain. what there is also a secure secret part of the agreement with everything that really adds to our resilience. when you have somebody opportunity to develop, you know, given this 100 the agreements lensky signed, it means that he will read a sold in the right us minerals a to london before sending them to washington. and the gaza states fire could be on the line. and after israel accuse to mazda of handing over the body of an unidentified person, instead of a hostage, the militant group claims there was a mix up as a result of multiple remains being pulled from the rubble after an idea of error strike earlier benjamin netanyahu warned for tele ation for breaching the agreement to return hostages, who died since october 2023. i don't want, if i'm going to see, so we will work with determination to bring sherry bus home together with old off

hostages, both living and dead, and ensure that how much pays the full price for this cru, malicious violation of the agreement yesterday. how much released the bodies of forty's rarely hostages, including those of 2 children and their mother and a is rarely forensics. the said that they couldn't confirm her identity, obviously, sparking outreach. you have just listened to the statement from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who says that how much will pay for this. the young sick 3 general criticize the way the exchange happened, saying that the open display of bodies and coffins is disrespectful and degrading, which is a, gets international was washington issued a start warning to hamas. and also these really the finance minister is now calling for an immediate continuations of the idea of military operations in gaza, boasting and social media that he thinks some of these, this these far as, as well as a weakness. now on its behalf from us,

says that the reason why forensics couldn't seem to confirm the identity of that woman is because she, along with they're both 4 children, were killed by an idea of air strike on the building where they were being kept. and they say, perhaps her remains got mixed up with the remains of other victims, and how mazda is now actually asking israel to return the body so they can conduct a thorough investigation. at the same time, us announced the names of 6 is really hostages. set to be released tomorrow in exchange for palestinian prisoners as part of the ceasefire agreement. however, how much is accusing israel of stalling? it's 2nd phase using internationally bind weapons against civilians and has called for the international investigation into war crimes by the idea in gaza. now on a separate matter is really authorities have arrested at least 3 suspects, including one jewish is really in relation to the explosions of the 3 buses last night. in one of the tellers each suburbs, thankfully, they were empty at the time. but now these very defense minister personally came to

the west bank and said that they are immediately intensifying military operations there because they suspect that's where these attacks were organized from a 100. i'm sorry for me to come out and they did. we are at war with extremist islamic terror and we will wind gear in gaza and everywhere. i warn the terrorists who were released to, to day and scenario. we have our eyes on you and will hunt down and illuminate everyone who was involved in terrorism. it all comes as air leaders gathered for a summit here and we had to come up with a counter proposal to donald trump's plan on god. earlier he said that the united states will take over gaza if it all of the palestinians out of their 2 neighboring europe countries and rebuild it, obviously sparking outbreaks throughout the world. so it's quite interesting to see what counter proposal they'll be able to come up with here in saudi arabia. now to lebanon, where israel confirms its air force is targeted 11 on the serial border crossings.

the idea of claim is, hezbollah has been smuggling weapons to check points, which violates the fragile cease fire established after a year of conflict. and archie, steve sweeney visits. 11 east hospital that has faced is really attacks as medical records demand, more international accountability. the of the home is 200 and so is it helpful? because until then around 10 percent of the company's medical facilities with dumbledore destroyed, doing as well as bombardment of lebanon for my health minister for it was i'll be at denouncing your taxes. will crimes, a painting for international support to right and is while in, but no action was taken as weston supplied weapons continued to strike cost results across the country. this is what i got out of university hospital and number 2 in southern lebanon. it was hit multiple times, doing as well as bombardment of the country, causing widespread damage. go to suddenly and continue to work as

a hospice. okay. one of the sustained attack on the front of his office. a reminder of the is why the bombing of them was touched by a 100. these shrapnel pieces flew into our hospital. we collected them on the hospital grounds about 5 to 6 meters from the building. and unfortunately, one of the staff was injured by these fragments. apparently it was an air strike using heavy missiles. these fragments are reminder of things we would prefer not to remember, but we must not forget our wounds and suffering. the hospital came under intense pressure during these right bombardment, treating those wounded in the attacks while under the contents, the rest of missile strikes along island, we faced the many difficulties during the war. one of the main problems was the lack of medical resources strikes were made against roads, and many ambulances, transporting the injured hospitals. we suffered losses and encountered difficulties and maintaining blood supplies during the war. there was a shortage of food, clothing, and fuel, which created real challenges. it was a difficult time,

but we managed to overcome it by optimizing expenses and trying to use available resources as efficiently as possible. in many cases, hospital staff donated blood to help patients and the wounded medical staff worked around the clock during the fall main which left the hospital time based on equipment destroyed the amount of stuff but jennifer of air strikes occurred in close proximity to the hospital, leading to damage to the building and injuries among the medical staff. furthermore, the equipment was damaged, which has not yet been restored since it is imported and its installation in a medical facility takes months to this day. we as a hospital, continue to assist in treating the consequences of the war on the psychological social levels and the level of permanent disability that arose among citizens to, to consider and condemn the as id. a tax is a breach of international law with deliberate strikes on hospitals unhelpful, because it will crime under the geneva conventions to which,

as well as the signatures uh, the speaking of international law. we believe that the events that occurred in lebanon by all criteria, including the detonation of pagers and actions by ation, violate international laws and can be classified as war crimes, especially against civilians and children. under the pretext of the presence of armed groups in the area, international law and human rights norms do not allow for justification of attacks on civilians under any circumstances. targeting a whole switch or the is a war crime, just one of many committed by as well. junior pump um and of lebanon, but it's been able to do so with impunity, leaving many wondering whether it is well will ever be held accountable for exemptions. this is the screening for auntie in southern lebanon. now to the democratic republic of congo, where following the capture of boma and because of

u. m. 23 militants have continued their advance and are reportedly making their way to the eastern city of timbo. residential shared their reactions we're not afraid, we do not panic and we must stay with the population. as we have always said, we have fought together so we must see what will happen. we do not really think that they will arrive here. and if they do arrive, then they must feel a great resistance, because then not welcome in our city. in all country, they must know wherever they all that they own that because they loved. despite the hypocrite, you welcoming them, you must know that the couple of these people a link to the land. let's not panic in relation to the advance of the m 23. because if we panic, we will not even have time to think about what is happening. secondly, let's stay in touch on maximum a lot. let's be on the lookout style is monitor any suspicious movement to your, let's put fear aside. the enemy is playing the strategy of terrorizing us with fear . we are not going to give up outlined. we as the population of the 10,

the very wary of the and 23, we are expecting them and are ready to fight them. because if we continue to be afraid of them 23, then we will be nothing for tempo is a commercial hub with over 150000 people and is situated in north of chicago with the m 23 group captured earlier this month. it is a major d r. c city with strategic importance and if taken would give the militants an advantage to the north and south of goma. in the blue call, the red cross made a gruesome discovery of the bodies of victims and buried the remains following weeks. of fighting in the d. r. c. according to the latest you on reports, the death toll has reached close to 3000 following the m 23 uprising. but not all of the problems residents have rejected. the militant groups takeover

of the city video shows m $23.00 supporters and cheering as they marched along city streets. and the militant groups leaders says those who have sled following the takeover are welcome to return. we urge all who fled to return and stand with us. those who cause harm out of ignorance. we recognize it as such and assured them they will face no harm if they return was the young people with weapons and uniforms were hiding in houses, which for it is deeply we hoped i'm $23.00 but arrived quickly to restore security . when they did, we felt relieved and grateful, however, were also afraid because we had had the disapproved of women wearing trousers were dying. the thankfully peace has returned and the arrival has brought us to safety. grateful for the russian foreign minister, a gall calls the g 20 meeting, a platform that helps draw attention to problems of the global self serve your lab . ralph and his counterparts have gathered in johannesburg to address global

challenges. for more on this, let's cross live now to our to is notable. you can go with this. do 20 meeting comes at a time, a tech tonic geo political shift on a global scale. what were some of the key points? russia's foreign minister made in his address? well, on the 2nd day of the g, trying to find ministers meeting in. so how does the russian foreign affairs minister say a lot for off, but describe the results of the meeting as positive according to him in put tend to be mis well reached if the minister noted the strengthening of the role of the info, it was of to tween to for the global self and even the volt at lots from the minister statement. it was clear that the evolution of the people of 20 continues to change was a multi pulled a system of international relations and increasing economy independence as well. so

got a sense that such a system requires global governance, independence and need to have diplomacy. and of course, that also coming from what he said earlier about neil calling on a colonial practices flourishing and politics, the economy, even the social if you have a listen to this would be really if you mind you can be a we turn our colleagues attention to very significant data, especially because it's marked in the year of africa's chairmanship of g 20 to that just of the 65 year anniversary of the un declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples. and i'm still on our country back then. soviet union should play the leading role in adopting that historic documents that are on the despite success achieve since by the countries of the global cell which were liberated from the yoke of exploitation. the problem has not been resolved completely, but 1st of all, there are still 17 non self governing territories across the world. colonial

dependence has been mostly replaced by neo colonialism. give me the former metric poles in western transnational corporations. have monopolized the markets, the supply chains, and use advantages they have to because of that to drain resources and raw materials from agents and use african and latin american countries say then produce added value in their own facilities for making maximum profits from the whole process. but this is unacceptable in the 21st century and the meaning and that's just not all the me just to also note that the global economy is distinguished by an equal gross of military spending. little the on 6 is that off currency happening around the voltage. you can only imagine how much of a problem that really can be forward. you tend to be busy. but having to some to this nobody color because it is the global economy is characterized by the disproportionate growth of military spending. in assessment by western specialist says it amounts to $2.00 trillion dollars per year. and so lensky is regina is,

of course, a flagrant example of this. it absorbs or did absorb military aid in the amount of hundreds of billions dollars. so that could have been spent on critically important development programs across the globe. so, 1st and foremost, in africa, to little for you by the way, the international monetary fund and the world bank are setting records in aiding the zalinski regime, giving loans and credit succeeding those given to african and the other developing countries by many times. the minister also says the modern world is really being transformed to drastically and becoming truly multiple in the world and live on the ukraine. complex was arguably the biggest item on the agenda for discussion. tell more, tell us more about what la problem said of the absolutely, and the good thing is that a number of

d 2 and 2 countries have expressed support for the if it's dedicated to peace, including the recent consensus reached between the us and russia, which i'm not even saying a window of for peace is opening on the conflict. and of course this conflict and the u. s. relations were among subjects discussed between the top diplomatic on the meeting sidelines. and this is watson minutes. the laughter i've had have had to say about that, particularly with the ship with previous attempts by the west to ukraine eyes. the agenda of g 20 were torpedoed by the rest of the group members. which if you look at the final documents, when all the g 20 members finally agreed to include a short text on geo political issues, you will not find anything in them that could be rejected by the russian side. the g 20 group as a whole. if we're talking about the structures that play a certain role in the international economic relations retains the role of a platform for dialogue between the old and new centers of power. and we spoke in

favor of maintaining the economic profile of this association as it was supposed and agreed upon at the very beginning of its creation in 2008 without politicizing . the agenda, as our western colleagues have been trying to do in recent years, these attempts have always been unsuccessful, but they take a lot of strength and nerves from the other participants. now because russia and the united states have agreed to start working towards in the concept which are trade and improving their own diplomatic add the economy ties. the minister says recently that has been inflammation, that has a lead. meaning to me, conclusions about russia and the united states in terms of businesses and even the partnership. but he has said to the record, straight on what those talks between russia as united states mean for most schools to have a listen to this new didn't really recently, there have been reports that

a number of western companies are ready to return and resume their business in russia, i think our economic block reacted very correctly. because the core of this reaction is that over the years of hybrid warfare slip including a legal sanctions, we have done a lot to give a powerful impetus to the development of our own industries in which, until recently we were seriously dependent on the united states. the european union, the to japan and so on us in this new environment has made it possible to realize how useful it is for our economy service, mastering its own technologies, which in general, in some cases, already surpassed their western counter parts. this is probably the same logic that should be followed when we're talking about the return of western companies to russia. they should not be discouraged from doing so. what should only be allowed to return into those industries that will not post risk to our economy. in case someone gets up on the wrong side of bet again. and of course the re sent to you

is to put magic let's on ukraine that has seemed to create and, and it's key allies scrambling to insure a seat at the table. add concerns that washington and moscow could press the heads . would a deal that won't really fit be favorable to them? the minister made it clear that he started quote, experience shows that it is impossible to independence, the cold would come and challenges such as these by yourself. and this is why the 220 was established in 2008 to cope with such challenges at the level of national the does as it was done this week. or 2, you know where you can get it. joining us live from johannesburg where that g 20 summit is taking place of the thank you. all right, let's look at the stories we're following here on archie international as always, from much more, you can always visit our website, r t, t dot com for the latest breaking news and updates that is going to do for me. for

now, i'm going to stay with us. my colleague union o'neill will be in next in just over half an hour this morning the

the hello, my name is joe, i'm a traditional catholic, father of 6 children. i'm from dallas, texas originally. all right, my girls. what are you doing? by that time? many things had changed since cove it in america, and she talked about the eligibility propaganda and all that sort of thing. we think that we would like to move and live somewhere else to raise our children. 2023. my wife and i and my 6 children, we moved to restaurant, really actually seen all these movies of russia being this dark, very place and crash and everybody starving. these are fish eggs. mm hm. and yeah. okay. so that's called the current and the russians loved pizza. of what it's like living in russia with a big family. the good and the bad. the pros and cons expectations,

meeting reality killed in the i can't this is but the thing that i see the the hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the russians and the americans have made it clear they want to normalize relations after the disastrous biting years. at this point, both appear committed to ending the conflict in ukraine. the europeans and the

ukrainians are not at the table. neither burned to seat the cross talking the prospects for peace. i'm joined by my guest, got rid of it, and del mar. he's a former intelligence officer in united nations weapons inspector. and besides that, we have piedro cosmic. he is a professor of history at american university as well as co author with oliver stone, the untold history of the united states. and in berlin, we crossed the rec euro. she is a professor of political science as well as co director of the european democracy lab or across stock rolls in effect. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, you know, scott, you know, i'm, i don't really want to delve into the chat or on, on twitter. it is so nauseating, it is so beyond the point, it's all this is jenny, reflecting to values instead of politics and geo politics. i have a very straight forward question for you. you're a man of history. what would be wrong with having the alter 2 point?

oh, that would stop the fighting cause that's the most important thing is the have the complex that stop. go ahead. scott: it is interesting. i was in crimea this time last year actually of january of last year. and i met with the governor of try me and a rush administrator for the fairs official. and i said, why don't we have you all to, to point out, in fact, that's what should happen. that's what needs to happen. a gathering of officials, united american, russian, european, ukrainian, to talk about reconciliation and moving forward. and they embrace the idea that i brought it back here to united states and i hit a brick wall, but there was no interest in reconciliation whatsoever. my understanding is that there is going to be something over you all to, to point know in march. i do go through this, this, this exercise who will be,

it's not a question who will be invited. i think the russians will invite as many people as possible. the question is, who will be willing to attend, who has the courage to attend? and that's always been the question. uh, oftentimes when we speak of matters of warrant peace, people equate courage to fight. it doesn't take a brave man to fight. as we've seen in ukraine. we can grab somebody up the street bunk. i'm on the head, put a uniform ottoman throne me to battlefield, that doesn't make that man a hero. the true heroes are those who will stand up in the cause of peace to those who were promoting more. those who will stand up in the face of adversity, a being condemned, etc. the peace makers are the true heroes. and right now, for the 1st time, we have an opportunity for heroism to shine around the world, to bring it into this conflict. and y'all to 2 point, oh it would be the perfect uh, the perfect venue to do it. i can think of a better way. peter, essentially the same question too, because you know,

every day there's a big uproar about who has a place at the table. why should you be at the table? why should ukraine be at the table? they don't want an end to this conflict. they want to continue with. it's supposed to be the, the, the venue in riyadh was due in the us and russia to re establish good, good relations or working relations and to stop the conflict. ukraine in the, in the europeans are not on the same page. peter, let me start off by agreeing with scott that the peacemakers are the true heroes. and i've also been given a lot of talks and interviews about you all to. and it's a good model. but what i see as, as the concerns and i have to talk you last night with my students about the over site 3, the after world war one. and also if we look at the.
