this is the explosion to the russian consulate in the 1st city of march today in what moscow is calling and apparent power attack. it's something in the countries for an intelligence service had a word about the s. of course, we were aware of the threat in light of the situation, so we were prepared for us, you will not be satisfied with the option of immediately freezing the conflict. we will stop the fighting only when the settlement negotiations produce a clear firm results that suits most of those are the terms of voice to play the russian foreign minister, saturday law for i've added that that you train was just hours away from peace in april 2020 to the west push, keep, keep fighting indefinitely. the word didn't need to happen. it was provoked. it

doesn't necessarily mean it was provoked by the russians. 3 years after russia launched as a military operation in ukraine, the true white house admits that moscow's hand was poured about by them. that was president plus a few dollars when it's the 1st time in decades spent tanks of enter judea and samaria. this means one thing we fight terrorism by all means and everywhere. israel confirms and expansion of its military assault on the west bank with reports of raids and arrests coming from across the palestinian territory, forcing us thousands to sleep. the, you're watching r t international live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. we're covering the top news stories from around the world's. as we start with news from france,

where the russian consulate general and the city of mar, say, has come under attack. officials that the diplomatic compounds have confirmed the explosions are to correspond that marina customer brings us. the details of the most important thing right now is that there were no casualties reported and that whole area has since been to court. and off we know that there was a stolen car found nearby. but the reaction from us gore vidal way of foreign ministry spokesman, maria's a harv upset that this has all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack. and not moscow is demanding a thorough investigation from french authorities and from france itself. here's more from the consulate itself, regarding the incidence that up on his mode at 7 30 am local time of the 3 on identified explosive devices were thrown at the consulate general to do 2 of them exploded and one did not. and, and the emergency services were immediately called and the police and a fire brigade arrived a bomb squad was called in just now all necessary actions are being carried out to

investigate the area and the object that did not explode. there are no casualties. the building of the consulate general has been cordoned off, and the consulate general accordingly is not working right now. we will provide all necessary information for local services investigations are underway. we will also follow the development of events. yes, of course we were aware of the threat and light of the situation. so we were prepared that what she is referring to there at the end is a series of warnings that were received by the russian intelligence services which they made. public message is coming from europe. the cube is actually planning a series of provocations against russian diplomats of commissions in europe. here's what they said. according to reports, european countries are alarmed at ukraine's extreme unwillingness to agree with moscow if it requires key of to make excessive concessions according to the information. one of the options being considered by the ukrainian regime to disrupt

the negotiations involves a series of terror attacks against russian diplomatic missions in european countries. and the s v r was actually very specific about the warnings that it receives because we're talking about terrorist attacks like cubans most likely to commit in germany as well as baltic and scandinavian countries, as well as more specific slovakia and hungry. now what we do know is that this could be potentially kias final acts of desperation, as they see that this is coming to an end. we also know that russia right now is increasing security mazur measures are all diplomatic emissions for now and friends, but we'll see of course, how the store develops a rush. i will not accept the repeats of the deception that's key of and it's western back or is double cross moscow on a de escalation deal in april 2022. and that's according to russia's foreign minister who says the country's military will keep advancing until moscow's terms

have been met. you so could i easily, we are ready to negotiate with ukraine, europe, and any other intermediaries. but russia will not be satisfied with the option of immediately freezing the conflict. oh my goodness. we will stop the fighting. only when the settlement negotiations we produce a clear firm result to that suits moscow. what the position that moscow is currently taking is one that is trying to facilitate dialogue and discourse and negotiate an end to this conflict. whereas the average dream is in a position where some would suggest is trying to hustle the united states out of more money in that statement. so the level of said that's the key ever dream, of course, did funnel a great deal of money in terms of military and financial support and the current position that so that's he is taking so suggests that he is trying to leverage his current position, leverage the fates, or at least the prospect of negotiations to put an end to the conflict on the line just for, and more financial or military support on the russian 4 minutes. it was quite vocal

in his position about what comes next as well as what happened in the past. and the put me in the president, putin said several times that in april 2022 in his danville. we were just one hour away from signing an agreement. but then british prime minister boris johnson prohibited ukraine from doing this later. ukrainian official representatives publicly confirmed this fact. ukraine was ready to sign, but london and washington stopped it with you. to jot it down today, march 3 years since the start of the ukraine conflict. turkey is committed to establishing peace in the region. from the very 1st day, we have been advocating for a diplomatic solution. we want to put an end of this conflict as soon as possible. we did everything we could to make the 2 sides meet for talks and this temple. and one more great matter of concern that was on the agenda was of course, the idea of security guarantees. and looking back at the assembled talks in 2022,

there were guarantees that were provided by the russian federation that were facilitated by regional partners as well. as guarantees that were put forth by the head of the ukrainian delegation at the time. and those of course, guarantees were taken into consideration concerns all across the board. most important knew, of course, was that the prospects that ukraine cannot and will not join the nato alliance. and that was, of course, the fundamental red line. one that the ukrainian delegation had initially agreed to, but was essentially backtracked by western pressure. much like the situation of ukraine, it appears moscow was in a position to facilitate negotiations and discussions with that of the interim syrian government. there was a great deal of emphasis about the transitional period. and there is a great deal of discourse with respect to the united states and its position within syria. more importantly, of course, in russian form is the 2nd level did tough touch up on the topic of us basis within

syria, as well as us support. but more importantly, highlighted the importance of the territory integrity of the country. let's listen . this is the signal before the power change in syria, even though in the us military presence played a negative role there. this will stay illegitimately occupied areas and we're plundering the syrian people's resources suits you, then they use the revenues to fund the plaza. i stayed structures created in the northeast of serious issues in particular to support the kurdish separate is of course in addition to syria, the topics of palestine were also on the table. the turkish for a minister, how gut feeling was actually quite volcom, adamant an unconscious position. but he also went one step further highlighting something he says, is something that is not said aloud, but he decided to say so. or recent events have shown that nothing yahoo, in his government want to expand their influence and provoke more crises and evict palestinians from their lands. beside jordan, syria 11 on israel wants to weaken these countries too,

because they want to prevent these states from strengthening their military potentials color than that. they say we don't feel safe, so they continue to expand against muslims. and when they can't do it on their own, they call the americans. this is their policy, a risky policy that can lead to serious consequences. i'm a big company that is listening to the responses provided by both foreign ministers . we understand that there are interests that align with moscow interests that align with unclear, but more importantly, based on the, on the position that presented in that joint press conference. there is a great deal of emphasis on working together, much like in syria in palestine as well as in ukraine. the general's consensus between the 2 sides is that the 2 sides must work together to ensure that there is stability within the region and are elements that threaten to destabilize that. and that in itself is of course important. and one more important thing that the russian 4 minutes instead of grade levels did say, is that despite our disagreements with turkey,

it's important that we come together and have discourse. and that in and of itself is a civilized way forward. and that is, of course, what on career. so you think that is what must go seeking with respect to the conflicts and ukraine as well, but took a whole 3 years. but washington has finally admitted that moscow was forced to, to start as military operation, a new crime in response to direct threats to russia's national security of the war didn't need to happen. it was provoked, it doesn't necessarily mean it was provoked by the russians. they were all kinds of conversations back then about ukraine joining nato. the president has spoken about this that didn't need to happen. it basically became a threat to the russians. and so we have to deal with that fact. and those are real facts on the ground here. well, the 1st of all, uh, the reason for the start of this special ministry operation were clearly outlined by a lot of near foods and 3 years ago. the brutal killing of civilians by the key of

receiving done boss. v, pumping off west for money and weapons in ukraine and nations. encroachments on russian borders the 3 years on and most ago is evidently fulfilling his goals of the special ministry operation. so the minutes arise a key by continuing to advance on the battlefield liberating new territories on a daily basis. and of course the name changes are taking place and the perception of reality by the whitehouse as we've heard. now the previous washington administration were leading the collective west in the narrative, that rush should begin an unprovoked search war against ukraine. but now drums administration are blunt in saying that the start of the conflict in ukraine is actually keeps falls while the trump administration now admit that the 2022 russian military operation was provoked, blaming bite and ends. the landscape has the new white house to actually address the root causes of the conflict,

of course. so the key change there is that the united states suddenly, so one of very a root problems like you said, and that is that ukraine's aspirations to join nasal over the last decade or sol, voices in the key of brussels and washington were repeating like mon fraud that's a ukraine's vest and to be in need. so hands with the arrival of trump seemed the perception completely flipped and the key of regimes, the nasal aspirations are now viewed. absolutely different. take a lesson, we will continue to being ukraine ever closer to nate to membership. so that when the time is right, ukraine, controlling without delay present, it has that he believes that nato is in ukraine's future. and there's, there's a lot of things that have to be done before they can join the alliance like any member has to do before they can join the alliance. but the president believes firmly that nato is in ukraine's future at some point. but it has never be agreed

to run that for piece store. so which starts that the store towards ends anywhere and always. and definitely the with nato membership that has never been a glitch. the reality that returning to 2014 as borders as part of a negotiated settlement is unlikely. the reality of us troops in ukraine is unlikely, the reality of ukraine, membership and nato as a part of the negotiated settlement unlikely. and i stand by the comments that i made on that 1st day in the ukraine contact group fall apart from that goal, shower of lensky. he's now also being told that ukraine must accept the new reality on the grounds. and that is old territories liberated by russia. over the past 3 years will never return your that's the key of regime is now suppose that they're ready to accept the borders as they were in february of 2020 to mind you. they

initially wanted to cry me a back as well, but the united states now same differently. we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is unrealistic objective. to chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. the key of regime that was basically allowed to do whatever you want to do for the last 10 years, including committing terrorist acts against the russia is now probably in the state of shock if you will. the narrative of pushed on the ukrainians. now is that washington had betrayed them. meanwhile, the trump teams demands are as follows. you must have an election paid back the money invested in, you give us full access to your rare are minerals and so on and so forth. basically the us once it's money back that's it disappeared in the key of this taking this thing. zalinski admits that half of the money that we sent them is missing. they

don't know where the money is. he said, well, we don't know what half of it is scraped, wonderful. he refuses of elections is low and the real ukrainian falls. i mean, how can you be? hi, with us. every city is being demolished. charge of the i, somebody said, oh noise, paul's a good give me a break. a dictator with that elections. so lensky better move fast, or he's not going to have a country left. got to move. gotta move fast. so we're asking for rarer than oil. edu, we didn't get well now, is that lensky seems to be squirming in attempts to crisis. manage the situation is now saying that he doesn't owe anything to anybody. if there is a question through society of the united states, about military and about something else. ok, let's go produce it. it will be when we and if you can give us gum us some binary. so simple. okay. okay, please do you as

a credit and we will give you back money after the war value. i know that we had 100, and that's a fact. i am not going to recognize 500, no matter who speaks today, no matter how we communicate with all due respect to our partners. i'm standing fun because this is a true situation. i'm not ready to fix even 100000000000. i will explain why. because we should not recognize cronsa is that like it or not? can we find it goes shaded with vitamin and negotiated with the us congress. i am grateful to the congress. it was in the presence of the 2 parties, and it was only 6 pounds and then the skis, presidents expired in may of last year, and he's now completely and legitimate not only in the eyes of russia, but apparently washington as well. uh trump had echoed, let him hear pollutants of words and say that the you election the must take place as soon as possible. the rescue though, came up with his own id in regards to that she is ready to leave in exchange for

nathan membership and want to know claims. if we are talking about peace in ukraine, i'm ready to leave my position and i'm ready to do it to an exchange for ukraine's membership in nato. if there are such conditions right now, i'm ready. i focus on our security guarantees. ukraine today, nothing 20 years. and i'm not planning to stay in power for decades. so in general, another portion of black, male, and double speak by the lensky not to mention the fact that you are rudely responded to trump. when the american president said the zalinski is ratings are as low as 4 percent. the response from a washington was quick and clear. there needs to be a deep appreciation for what the american people, what the american taxpayer, what president trump did in, in his 1st term and what we've done sense. so some of the rhetoric coming out of key, frankly, and, and insults to president trump for unacceptable. you said yesterday made a lot of news, bad mouth, and trump not a good idea or zalinski 84. what's the,

what's the thought process? it will look. i mean, for this long sky, his country wouldn't exist without the generosity of the united states of america. so to say thank you, and if you disagree with the president, pick up the phone and call him or call one of our great diplomats. don't go into media tour around europe. bad announcing the pros, united states. it's insulting, it's insulting to him. it's insulting to me, it's insulting to the american people, and by the way, it's stupid. meanwhile, as lensky is scrambling to show that she is supported actually by his people and almost immediately presented his public ad, the world with poles by private companies, that huge ratings are as high as 57 percent. that is to listen to late. however, it seems as though the big boys have finally steps up to the place and are now, do you mind demanding their money back and much, much more. another quagmire that trump has inherited from by then is the war in the middle east. and the is really prime minister,

has now told his nation to repair, to fight for an extended period on multiple fronts. well, that's as benjamin netanyahu tried to justify ordering idea of change to re, to the palestinian westbank, which he refers to by it's biblical name. i mean, come, oh god, this for as long it requires to nations compliance on many fronts, 7 fronts. we introduced tags for the 1st time in judy and scenario and decades. this says one thing, we are fighting terrorism by all means and everywhere is a major escalation in the west bank. what is real calls judea and samaria bytes, biblical name, as well as expanded in smell, to reparation. iron wall rolling tanks into janine for the 1st time since the 2002005 palestinian uprising known as the 2nd intifada. and this isn't just a short term rate, then. yeah. whose government is ordering forces to prepare for an extended stay

idea has been targeting refugee camps and milton strong holes. and according to the country's defense minister, they are not going anywhere for at least a year. the goal to prevent the researches of what israel sees as tara networks so far around $40000.00 palestinians have slept their homes. and janine till the car um and shuns and, and another major move. israel has halted on the rock tibits has. and these cams from us has been quick to react. the expansion of the military operations of design is to occupation army and janine and the northern westbank areas, as well as the deployment of military, reinforcements and tags for the 1st time in many years clearly revealed the enemy's dangerous intentions to continue the war of extermination against our palestinian people and to continue the policy of unprecedented destruction and sabotage our people and their resistance will afford all these plans now another from syria and a surprise statesman. speaking in front of combat officers and antonia laid down

new red lines. he's demanding a full demilitarization south of damascus, said israel will not allow series new mil to reach operate there and, and 11 on israel says it will hold onto the territory. this comes off to classified security making ways really officials assessed growing products along the northern border. natania who was direct taken. listen, we went on, we will hold controlled territories along our northern border inside 11. on an opposite our settlements until the lebanese army and government fulfil all their obligations under the agreement in siri, idea of forces will stay in the hormone region and the buffer zone for an unlimited time to defend our communities. and just toward any threat, we will not allow h t us forces or the new syrian army to enter the area south of damascus. we demand a complete demilitarization of southern syria of the create tra dara. and so way to areas from the forces of the new regime, hands and this area who didn't stop there and he doubled down on his warning to

iran, making it's clear. and his rel will not allow tire on to acquire a nuclear weapon. and all of this is happening as a gas has seized by agreement, hangs by a thread. and it tells you who has ordered a delay in releasing over 800 pals, student prisoners and detainees, even though have mass handed over 6 is rarely hosted as on sunday, as agreed. here's israel's explanation, at her master's reaction. in light of her mazda is repeated violations, including this amante's that humiliate our hostages and the cynical exploitation of our hostages for propaganda purposes. it has been decided to delay the release of terrorist that was planned for yesterday until the release of the next hostages has been assured. and without the humiliating ceremonies, there will be no talks with the enemy through mediators, before the release of the prisoners agreed upon an exchange for the 6th is really captives. the mediators must obligate the enemy to implement the agreement every hand over. and gallagher has turned into spectacles. have mass milton standing

fully armed, while fried hostages are made to speak at the latest event on such a day to his really captives who are not even on the release least were forced to watch. the friends being freed later appear in the mass video begging these when a government to save them. israel reacted furiously and now the ceasefire could collapse again. israel has repeatedly threatens to review war in guys though, and recent ball shows 60 percent of his res, oppose it. public pressure is growing on the 10. yeah. with protests happening every week with people demanding the government to move forward with present are swaps families of the remaining hostages. fear that if the deal falls apart, they loved ones may never make it home. the stakes couldn't be high end. this isn't just about hostages. about these rules, bro, to strategy in the region with tensions running high, the federal tease hanes and the balance, and one move from either side. to tip it over,

a lawmaker from netanyahu's ruling linked to the party has made a shocking statement on his really radio, suggesting a mass murder of palestinians in gaza. besides, israel needs a lot of ammunition to fight all the terrorists hiding in every hole in every corner. we already eliminated 20000 and we have 10000 more left. but maybe we're not winning because we're being merciful to the women and children that maybe we should just call him the whole place as you're suggesting over to. so we've been, we've managed to properly separate the kids from the adults. they don't see any innocent adults. they're pretty sure on that level. so you're saying all the adults and garza should be killed. all the, anyone still there should be treated as an adult because we have moved the women and children. so you're saying separate the women and children and then target adults that will do the trick sides. and the only thing that we do not and will not hold back in eliminating terrorists at a time of war. we won't let them get away by dressing up as civilians,

we will eliminate them all. we got reaction from publicist and commentator uri of open hymer who says statements like this could reflect a broader is rally state policy. this is a unacceptable that every human being should condemn me to it totally without any question. and the problem is that it's not on the hear me say all about the policy of the government agrees with it is saying out loud. no, in this paper in the, in gaza, in the after the end of the phase, one of the hostages, the, the prism of exchange, we really use young dual and quoting and present the thought of saying that to him . then we'd be a coming to gaza. so what these day, what his day and it's on station of this, this logan eviction that the we can stop all humanitarian aid being 2 guys out. we can use a fire and the munition and

a very heavy booms. we dial to really define who use the target toys to raise the noise. the same media is so unfortunately, i'm not so sure that it's only just the statement. it might be also the policy if they will, wouldn't and review the conservative christian democrats have won the german federal election, leaving the incumbent, chancellors, social democrats, trailing in 3rd law. second place has been secured by the alternative for germany with its strongest ever result. and the f, the co leader has demanded a key role in the upcoming coalition of your friends. we have achieved a historic result. we have never been stronger together. the projections show that we are the only party that has doubled our previous election result. we'll see what unfolds in the coming weeks. however, if what we anticipate happens, that the cd you will copy the of these policies and then betray its own voters by

forming a coalition with the left. then i can assure you, the next election will come faster than you can imagine. and we will surpass the cd you as the strongest force. that is our goal. the the leader fully expects uh the likely future chancellor mertz and is kristen democrats to start stealing her party policies like the kid in class. you copies your answers, i'll tell it and everyone else how much it sucks. he also points out that so when it comes to keeping populous out at any cost, suddenly the establishment left and right have absolutely no problem hopping into bed together. no doubt that mattress will seem way too small way too fast. friedrich mertsa is christian democrats. so angela marco's old party one. let's see election with 29 percent of the vote. mostly thanks to older voters in western germany. nemo. younger voters, particularly in eastern journey, lots to the as i stablish ment, left and right, which is basically a flashing neon signs for where things are headed in about a decade. but for now months claims he has to form

a coalition that represents all germans, except apparently the ones in the east to overwhelmingly voted for the populace. rightly alternative for germany or f d, which came and 2nd, the 21 percent murtz also is this that the world is waiting for him. or i, germany, i guess, to take center stage and peace negotiations between russia and the us. my impression over the last few days is that russia and america of finding common ground over the heads of the ukraine and thus also over the heads of europe. that is why everyone is now looking at germany. how quickly will the germans be able to form a government off to this complicated election result? that is really my priority. now merch promises to be tough with the americans to back you cranes, to push for a software and european defense is even fluid. this idea of the journey, ditching the us nuclear umbrella and closing up under britons and frances instead.

but the real story here in the selection is the f. these rise, the double, it's vote chair since the. busy last national election and secure 2nd place in terms of voters, especially eastern germany, are thrilled. i guess about being arrested for tweets, the government sending weapons to neo nazis and ukraine, cutting off cheap gas the fuse, their industries that happened to be from russia, that gas or showering with their pals the season. energy. meanwhile, johnson oil schultz is social democrats at such a bad night that shots announced he wouldn't be leading the party in any coalition talks or really in a future coalition for that matter, fine or no, i'm fine. very dear friends, dear comrades, this is a disappointing election result for the social democratic party. this is also an election defeat the last time the election result was better and i take responsibility for that. this time the election result is poor and therefore i also take responsibility for this outcome, our shoulders, defense minister, boris, victorious. call the election results for his party. devastating. i've devastated

for room exactly. well, maybe for german weapons giant, right metal which schultz had planned and another $3000000000.00 euros strictly of for ukraine, of course, or maybe devastating for the weapons watering scheme, which germany i shipped it's outdated junk that it found in its military addicts on over to you grain only to get then reimbursed by brussels from the money that it initially paid for us for this program. and with the a f d the populace left party now at 9 percent. so sarah, back in next new party, which is just a huge with 5 percent for making sizable opposition. all of those guys together. they could also contribute significantly to blocking any escalation over ukraine. they thought once it consistent, i'm table upon.
