for the fresh on rest in serious and thoughtful love talk to your region as over a dozen members of the country. security forces are reportedly killed in heavy flashes with a sideboard of there's also a head on the program, romania today and sick suspects. and i must go link freeze in case on the same day, are brushing military at sashay, and his deputy products fell from donald trump's. foreign policy chief confirms a lot of the west has repeatedly labeled russian propaganda about the ukraine conflict. president trump, to use this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's

a proxy war between nuclear power and united states helping ukraine and russia, and it needs to come to an end the provider, you're catching the news hour from today across the world. welcome to moscow and ortiz latest rundown of global developments. let's get to our top story. balance is again, escalating in syria. clashes between the new estimates, governments, forces, and gunman, link to the countries. austin, leader hubbard rested in the western city of job law, an area s and fate. alo white's the grouping to which bashar al assad belonged to a local reporter, filed the following from the ground of the h. t. s. military of bombing, the villages and suburbs of le takia, the suburbs of jibley. the muslim la white council has called for a massive protest tomorrow, a peaceful protest to condemn the attacks on civilians and le whites reports that coming out that the people of 3 villages in that area by the airport are leaving

the house is in a refugee's. now they're leaving the house because of the bombing. the clash is a very close to the airport. the disturbing images coming. i talk, let talk, the syrian broadcaster is reporting the 13 members of serious security forces were killed when local armed groups targeting their vehicles. with explosive devices happened. the country state agency labeled the remnants quoted at militants, excuse me, quote, remnants all besides malicious ortiz, steve sweeney, can tell us. now we're seeing these huge anti government protests taking place in a number of governments in syria and hama, and the talk to you on in talk to us and talk to is the protest. we've seen the image is circulating across social media, which appeared to us, showed the protests of storming the government building that now of course the situation has been like a 10 developed way due to explode. that have been these big on the government's

protest, the government, the course of i told her i was i'm and it's lead to a have an old yolande who was being re branded now as i would shut up with these new head coach a new to accepted at by the west, but this new stable this new for a new democratic syria appears to be nothing of the sort. with these a big on to government protests now high power, i'll show them that they have moved the forces, the government forces in those areas to try and re take control. they've been opening fire on the protests, according to some local reports up to 30 higher tyler ocean militants or soldiers have been killed during the protest, ease and lost the pains in ambush attacks by groups according. and so the syrian resistance of the situations that have been some cool, some heights are all strong, they say that they're moving against the former soldiers associated with the government of pasha alongside who was ousted in december. that claiming that,

that you take, you own the remnants from those forces that has been group just coded us together coding. so the syrian resistance savings taking part in some of these ambush attacks. so the protest movement. busy still continuing, however, that has been some indication that the other white community all being targeted now this has been very much the case where the since december we've heard stories, we've met some people the flank, the country themselves, are talking about some of the risk seems happening that including kidnappings, but headings, people being burned out, the villages burns out of the homes. x, you did judicial executions, and the persecution of minority communities, particularly targeting the lights and also the sheer community. the situation is an incredibly volatile at this stage. and of course, every of is at last the split into areas under the control of,

of the gilani government. in the north, of course, the turkish part forces and in the northeast the, the kurdish forces which about to cost by washington. so we're going to have to see how this one plays out with the western image of this free and democratic. this new syria perhaps isn't as stable as we've been led to believe. ahead of news west asia focused, i clicked the cradle as the bunk. cardio believes that despite all the promises, the western backing, the leader of h. d. s will not be able to bring unity to syria. this is 100 percent, the leaving type of scenario. what i, what is happening is here, it's very, very unlikely that that i'm extremely leader on down the found the rock data is likely to bring to the end of gains here is likely to bring together a ride. the 6 they, the different inspect seems to have to bring the unit the he's problem is up in pollution. his. busy problem is diversity, and he's meetings with a german foreign minister and with the french front of me starting with the complicated or 5 western officials that travel to syria over recent months. but in

reality, that has not been the case. syria has been racked via by violence a, by a, a, you know, they, the position of chevy a law in certain areas. they seem to be what we're seeing is the expansion of the way that the farmers, yolande, was runing. indeed, leaving the north a west of syria for so long under therapy sponsor, she spread to the rest of the areas of syria that he has on there. he's controlled, which is also a big question mark, right? because if you have israel continued to expanding this out and turned to look into the control of most of the not, then what is exactly going to be left for the learning to control the situation that said we are close the following as we are with this story 6 people have been detained in romania, on charges of organizing a criminal group aimed at staging, a coo in the nation. allegedly, with the help of the law school. in 2024, another defendant joined to the organized crime group, old members carrying out continuous conscious,

public or conspiratorial actions in order to achieve the proposed goal. also the members of the criminal group repeatedly contacted agents of a foreign power located both on the territory of romania and the russian federation . well this is the so called lab fee and pay the commandment group name, talk to the interview as nobleman from transylvania in romania who is known to carried up both barrack acts and inspired the legend of count dracula. they has been accused of freezing and forming a power military group with the intent of bringing down the remaining government. they're also accused by the intelligent services of wanting to take romania out of nato and to abolish all political policies and the director at 4 investigations into organized crime. and terrorism has said that these individuals that have been detained to for p to be contacted agents from russia here in romania and also in the russian federation to having traveled to moscow. previously,

in january 2 of the defendants traveled to moscow where they came into contact with people willing to support the organizations efforts to see state pallet in romania . so 6 individuals have been detained on those accusations that they were essentially trying to over through the government. tate in romania. we also know that homes were also raised in the last 24 hours. and this includes the hope of a 101 year old were tired, major general, and major general, whose war he ro here in remaining, despite the fact he's also being accused of being a holocaust denial. this is roy, i do see a daughter who is seen as being a public figure, old space group, vlad, the impaler commandment. now she has to prove base allegations and said, well, we authorities are trying to do here is to link his organization and make these spurious accusations. to calling jo jessica, this is the mind of

a movement who came 1st and the 1st round of remained his presidential elections in november of last year. that was then late to a know. then he's now facing a slew of accusations himself as there is evidence of merging that the european union, brussels itself is being behind in knowing if those elections know one thing. another pro nationalistic lead to come in to pilot in the, you know, going back to what the retired major general said. he said, look, the trying to, without any evidence, link us to call and choose yes cuz they need to have evidence against the county in georgia. ask you that proves that the accusations of true and to link us this group of military personnel to kelly and george ask you to put us all in the same part, accusing us of supporting him in order to create a sensational trial because everyone is accusing them of abuses. so providing evidence of an empty system organization which shows that they are not committing

abuses. well, that's the case. the game shows us do uh, was didn't lights in terms of the listing of judicial impositions on thursday by a cool to improve caress. he's also lost his white to appeal the decision both the and no means by the repeat cool. just human rights. but the prosecutors source is from the post and she just told the local media here in romania that there are no linux between the case of the slide in pay look amendment. and the case of calling georgia institute lobby. any comment from moscow so far? the russian embassy ministry attached a and his deputy were declared persona non grata he in romania. so in regards to the detentions that have taken place in the last 2 hours, the has been no response. but we know that russia is uneasy about the tensions, the elements that we are sitting here and remained note to stay with the calling

georgia school case with the russian for an intelligent service at saying that brussels was behind that decision to a know of the election but also in the fact that it has seen 2 of its diplomatic stuff, being the type of so little girl to and essentially kicked out of the country now according to the secret services, had romania, those 2 individuals who worked at the russian embassy of being accused of spying, the 2 russian diplomats carried out intelligence gathering activities from strategic areas of interest and supported the anti constitutional dom arches of the group. while the russian, a foreign ministry says it does was of the right to make any decisions and to respond to what's happened. it says that those allegations or false. and it says that they have not been carried out by an unfriendly country. donald trump special ukraine on boy has washed out

a key of blaming the zalinski government for the recent pause in u. s. military support to the country as they brought on shelves. the things i mean by that click and we were in the oval office last week on friday. and our kind of give you the background a little bit, which is what we talk with presidents once getting for that meeting. over 13 you a 100 percent. hey alex, and we said ok, this is like stage management, this is what you want to say. it's basically gonna come in. we have this is precious metal. so yeah, you're going to sign the deal. you know, the sub lunch, every press conference that you said right? can you good to go? we continue to go. what happened became a very combat of who press conference. you don't have the shape piece to discussions in public. you don't try to challenge the prism united states and the overall understanding fact. you need to side with me and not to russians call. we have hired quite a lot of for rhetoric since the lensky is blogs or the white house in february.

that was followed up by his expulsion from washington. was evidence at the moment, is that so washington is trying to push ukraine into negotiations by limiting its support to key of according to media reports. marco rubio, c with call friends of michael walls, will travel to saudi arabia on tuesday to meet with the ukrainian delegation, which will include andre, your market, who's the top official after the lensky in ukraine. this will be the 1st meeting between the 2 sides. it seems to meeting in the oval office according to reports, the white house, once a ceasefire, as soon as possible in order to expedite it's rare are minerals and natural resources deal with ukraine. now, take listen to this. we have now we're now in discussions to coordinate a meeting with the ukrainians in re i'd or even potentially jetta. so other cities

moving around a little bit, but it will be saudi arabia. and i think the idea is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial see spot ceasefire as well. it is common consensus that in order for the conflict a n p f is going to have to talk to moscow. but here's the thing, remind we need to point out that mr. zalinski has explicitly forbidden negotiations with law. the mirror put no law he himself brought in. that's another thing that stands out from everything that was said by the sol calls the collective west. and the recent years, a so called fresh thought, if you will, that's it, continue me, attempts to isolate and not communicate with russia is not really a viable strategy. think listen, there is also a broader strategy of play in president trump's approach. this war that is informed by the realization that the united states needs to reset relations with russia to

continue to isolation and lackland gauge with the russians as the war and ukraine continued is no longer a viable or a sustainable strategy, pauses sullivan use, you know, that's a russia had never ever said no to negotiations with ukraine, and on the contrary, zalesky himself had made it illegal for any thoughts were to be held with moscow. now that a site at the moment. so some of the european officials are now claiming that puts in is about to invade the entire continents, and they're ready for a nuclear defense. just listen to my crohn's, the latest statements. and that's something that was completely made up. and the never even ordered by the russian leadership taking this definitely with. but let's see that we must choose for our sales version of piece that will suit in us. and that will ensure a piece for our country in the long term historical perspective. we do not need

anything that belongs to all of us, but we will not evolve. what is ours? so another run of talks between the, the us and ukraine is up ahead and uh, at the moment you craze options seem to be limited, but are now completely exposed to the rest of the world. now in a moment that will have shocked many, the us secretary of state has openly admitted that ukraine conflict was conceived as a proxy war between the us and russia. some very clear from the beginning that president trump to use this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear power is united states helping ukraine and russia, and it needs to come to an end. and no one has any idea or any plan to bring it to an end, the plan of the ukrainians up to now and their allies on capitol hill. and the people you talk to in other countries is, let's just keep giving them as much as they need for as long as it takes. that's not a strategy. you know,

it took 3 years for washington to find that the experience of my month of clarity and actually has made that a, it is in fact in proxy war against russia. let's by the us. and this comes of to use of denial, especially in the media because, you know, media outlets repeatedly called most coast on some the conflict of russian propaganda and the conflict and ukraine was actually unprovoked. and this was despite to his russia raising concerns about nato's expansion. easterwood, while moscow itself had to actually advocate for its own national security. but russia was silence and blames for this propaganda with 12 military officials in the west actually to 9, but any proxy were actually exists. so this really is a, a, a proxy war. you don't have boots on the ground, you're not making decisions which are helping ukraine kill russians for helping ukraine defend themselves. but now the new us with ministration, the trump administration, is breaking away and actually a lining itself with the rush of stones. so the us isn't meeting the crate in

conflict is a proxy war. but what about chance other backers? well, formal, british point minister boris johnson also joined to and despite his previous role in splitting, actually the play store, the tools that happened in march in 2022 and a sample according to moscow. johnson actually allegedly advised key of to keep fighting and you do that hi me a uh then head of the ukrainians allegation is what's known as to jones lot actually played an influential role in the process. but now boys johnson seems to be saying a compatriot, differentiated. we are late, let's face it. what wage in your proxy will await your proxy will. but when not giving a proxies, the ability to do the job and let and for, for years and years now we've been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. and it has been cruel. it is being cruel. and you know,

this is the same bar as film send them back in 2022 actually stated that there's no proxy war and response to loud real statements. the russia is a war north with ukraine, but with the west and the war means war and, you know, movies he is here of has been repeating the mantra that russia is the aggressor. i think it's important to repeat some narrative. the reason that caressa and i never asked, a crane is a victim and rush, she has dared restaurant. we only need to be realistic about russia. russia poses ex, essential threats to our security today. the threat of war may not be imminent, but it is not impossible, but not still in europe has been beating that drama about the russian threat for a while now and after 3 years of conflict, there does seem to be no letting app, but what effect has the us changing its approach to the conflict had, if any, well,

you know, from the last few weeks and days that we've a seen washington stones on the conflict has indeed changed and new while europe, a still pushing for the school to continue us is actually pushing on so lensky a to negotiate with wall covering the i should be admitting that the landscape is reluctant to end the conflict. we asked you, credit is not the sabotaged it. when the vice president made the point that it's got to take diplomacy to get things like to solve, present zalinski unfortunately made the decision to challenge the vice president and start questioning whether diplomacy is even possible in essence sabotaging and undermining the president's plan. my understanding is poor and said he is willing to get into a negotiated settlement. is that your understanding? the answer was we are interested in talking about it. we now need to follow up. it's hard to follow up when the other side of the conflict is saying they're not interested in peace at all. and that was the message that was coming across as a result of silence keys. reluctance to negotiate, washington has actually stopped,

is age to key of and most importantly they stopped the transfer of intelligence data. and this pause is supposed to last until to have changes. it's gone. so, you know, overall we all see a slide shift and the narrative that the west has stopped to since february 2022 to a former virginia state senator for the republican party. dick block told r t the trump administration is no actively debunking the narrative that the bible team had been pushing is very important. the. the topic demonstration has a totally different take on those. so in my mind was part of this last media property that there been the most bizarre on truth was told to the people, for example, earlier in the war there said a lot were these were going to return the russian. i'm really leading to the us. well, question we had on sources of system,

very prominent people say yes is nothing but the oil wells and, and it and the military and an army. well, of course, that was opposite service 5 now, but the rubio was the secretary of state is saying this was a proxy was ready to go to us by nature gibbs doing again sports and it's accurate in terms of, with all of us as you know, for a long time, what, what is happening now is that the war is beginning to online, it's coming to an end. they tow united states or recognize that there's more going towards jones was there. and so when sky, you were talking about these get back to war, we've got a lot of money riding on this. a lot of hedge funds, a lot of boy they bankers expected back

a lot of money. we got to keep this board one. and now the whole thing is unraveling, and now every body is starting to live. so rich uses. yeah, i wish we could only see you later. so therefore, why, what i'm going to tell yes, some people say that there be slipping their, their cocktails and wait and, and then are walking around with shiny shoes of diamond rings. they don't give a rip about the people that they've served. they don't care about the brain is they don't care of february brandy and they don't care of every wash exhaust. you know, i, i have just have so little regard for these d, you leaders to block know, putting peacekeepers on the ground in ukraine from nato countries. would constitute involvement in the conflict that is the warning direct from russia's top diplomat. so suddenly, russia doesn't want any war. russia wants to eliminate the root causes of the

situation in ukraine that the west created in order to suppress the influence of an essentially to wage war against russian. while the europeans have decided for some reason that the united states has betrayed their interest. and now simply prefer to ignore the root causes in the topic of nato. and essentially, they're creating fighting forces within nato to be deployed in the territory of ukraine. we will consider the presence of these troops on ukrainian territory in exactly the same way we considered the potential presence of nato and ukraine. because no matter what flags this operation is concealed under whether it be you flags or the national flags of the country, supplying the forces. regardless of what patches, even those associated with mendera are fixed to their uniforms. it will still be nato troops. so this would mean i want to say once again, not some alleged hybrid involvement, but the direct official and undisguised involvement of nato countries in the war

against the russian federation. however, i've also spoke a bit about the ukraine conflict in the context of bilateral relations between russia ends in bob way. he thanked once again the minister and these and baldwin government for their supports towards russia within the ukrainian conflict. because the president man on god was of, as in bob way has said time and time again. they understand that ukraine is being used as a tool by the west to attack russia. and this is something essentially that the minister echoed when i was able to ask him a question today. i asked him what he thought about the wes attempts to pretty much continue this conflict and escalated while we're seeing a cooling and relations between the us and russia. and the possibility of peace on the horizon, he said that this in baldwin government is against any sort of escalation of this conflict. zimbabwe is always advocated to for this or for it is an issue of the, to this conflict. racing call cause on the line

causes of this conflict and that anybody wants to help the situation can not advocate for continued forced to reduce a lot of attention was paid to the recent address of the french nation that french president emanuel micron made uh, recently, specifically 2 statements in particular, 1st of all that he said that your european union can not allowed ukraine conflict to end in the key of regimes capitulation. and also that russia is a threats to the european union. but lab are all about this press conference. said that the real threat is actually uh, france to russia when they're talking about actually using nuclear weapons against threats. the european union can use to, to those. of course, this is a threat and directly to russian. if macklin considers us a threat, then he gathers a meeting of the chief of staff of european countries in britain. he says it is

necessary to use nuclear weapons and prepare for their use against russia. this is certainly a threat, and unlike his predecessors, the school also wanted to wage war on russia, such as napoleon and hitler. and if mister, my crown does not act very elegantly, because they has explicitly stated that russia needed to be conquered and defeated, microns seems to want the same thing, but somehow claims that they must fight russia so that it does not defeat france. that's also important to understand that russia and zimbabwe have had long time, warm, healthy relations between the 2 countries. i mean, the russia back during the times of the soviet union, more human health, zimbabwe and it's war for independence. i'm lab rob also praised zimbabwe for its regional leadership in trying to tackle conflicts throughout africa, through regional organizations. specifically what's going on right now in the democratic republic of congo. so i'm just about to don's report on his visit to moscow. the foreign minister, opposite, and bob where highlighted as well,

the importance of developing partnerships with truly independent states. we role, we feel like i said in the meeting, we have met highway corporation. so what we're doing now just populated these highway which is very important. what it comes, a critics, this one goes from chris. i want to see this section to substitution to social integration,

which is one of those ways top diplomats in most school earlier not with relations rapidly, thawing between the us and russia. what impact will such that they don't have on other parts of the globe? next element was africa or host laser like the implications for the worlds fastest growing continental economy. and that's right at the this is the moon, but he must say, lloyd gentlemen, got their own guy and got your district in the roof valley in the republic of k. yeah. and as we continue to talk about africa, one can never quite the, you know,

the international dimensions given that there was, is in many ways, a globe of age. the conversations that we uh, engaged in is so allies, the relationship between russia and the united states of america, and its implications to the world. and of course, in the cost of that discussion, we cannot help but also talk about africa in that scenario. because africa, inescapably become very important at the ripples, the 3, not only of human resources, but specifically because of the natural resources that she has on the how badly. so whenever we talk about negotiation, we must always have that history at the back of one mind. and when.
