consecutive strikes. synchronous strikes from the north, from the west, from the east, and they have simply overwhelmed the defenses of ukrainian troops. car, d, all q part rats, little piece of russia. we will have sheep dramatic footage, emerging of locals, low suid stays where i've been evacuated, but opportunity presented itself at the wave of russian troops towards us personally, personally, sweet lady month wraps. oh i see. but man, what a minus, if you'll measure to what to do. so if it is a right here, why don't you, we did more that, is this no, no. oh which this is the start portfolio was go by weight. so for, so, for course this was the yes we do, you would need to then the for what do you lose to

those 4 courses? so oh so, so that's what, what did his level of c, r c and i see a slide man, lots of troops of the administrative views of suited to the law. just settlement to about 56000 people in that little piece of the course region which was chopped and taken up by you credits. you know, aside from 12 said the 100 square kilometers allowed to visit. was it being, we'd take it about 80 percent of you? what you crazy initially took last year has been re taken by russian forces that is incredibly important politically as well for the credit in government because the landscape come out multiple times say you would keep, tends to use very of course, which you create a held as a chip, i've been negotiating sable to,

to you to trade away russian lab fruit for you. what he says ukrainian lab concurrent is you create interim face face collapse, disorder and private impose. they have launched $300.00 worldly $300.00 drones as russia, including about a 100 at most go down the russian ministry of defense. a said, this is an attempt to show these guys and say, to show the will, the ukraine can still cause problems for russia. they failed, the vast majority of these rooms never reach that and to the destination stay was shut down. in the russian cities in russian country side, russian forces will quickly clear the coldest of you crazy and you create in invaders. and especially important considering the gelatin skin, the key of administration spent expended tens of thousands of ukrainian

lives. soldiers lives, some of the best units in order to seize via for lab, which they are also again, dramatically using. now. now this. com is as 100 something ukranian draw is were shutting down in the sky is over russia as air defense. this countered an overnight attack. federal authorities are calling it an acts of terrorism. gifts forces start to get it residential areas killing at least 3 people and wounding 18 others including several children of the video circulating online show. a number of residential buildings damaged. several small fires broke out in the effect of the apartment blocks the kremlin commented on the attack, saying that while cube is attacking a civilian buildings, a russian forces are striking no 3 targets heard from residence of the moscow regions was apartment building was struck during the drone attack at 5 am,

i wake up had an explosion and there was a flash. it started flying toward the windows. from up above. i had noises if the structure of the building was collapsing. i was very frightened. i gathered everything i needed and went out into the stat case, then cooled the rescue services. we were frightened, we couldn't understand what it was. it turned out to be drones. all the windows were shattered. everyone was affected by it. it's good that everyone survived. all the windows in my flat were broken, but thank god there was no fire. the ambulance arrived 1st, then emergency workers, then the police showed up. they began patrolling immediately and started to look around the head of his meeting with the workers for administer the secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe was given a glimpse of the damage caused. he saw the aftermath at an apartment building as

well as the damage. the vehicle zillow was later asked about it during his press conference with the russian top. diplomats, there'd be a level playing gloves on today. you witnessed with your own eyes, the consequences of the key of regimes attack them civilian areas and the suffering victims who were peaceful civilians. we have repeatedly heard condemnation from the o. c. e directed at russia. but will there be any statement from the organization today condemning the actions of the key of regime and why has the key of regime intensified its attacks right now at this time? as i said, this floor has brought a lot of pain and suffering to millions of people saygos in cuba. and i saw sort of a similar incidents that i do, that people see very soon the end of the war

and people's no longer with us. these incidents, neither a must go annoying, can't think surrogate alive. ralph said that this was a very much welcome to visit, considering that previous secretary generals had been avoided in moscow for years with the last visit. been in february 2022 and he added that he doesn't and the, the legacy that left behind that it must be hard for this new secretary general. considering that the west has pretty much forbidden itself and others including the o. s. c from making contact with the rush. of course that was some level of contact maintains but definitely not like before. and then he went on to say that such actions really destroyed the principle of consensus and force 2 organizations to abandon its principles and become sort of ukraine's tool and it's time to be politicized the organization. and he also said that this created an institutional crisis where we saw, of course, a c, observer's misrepresents, and the situation on the ground and that time. so you've been helping the ukrainian

side. and there of course, and the tours emissions on desktop. let's say you to the topic of journalists, safety was raised in considerable detail. we noted that the o. c. e representative on freedom of the media is taking a bad example from unesco director general as a who and the annual report released by unesco on journalist safety. didn't bother to mention the crimes against our compatriots who worked as journalist and come back to areas. we have composed the corresponding demolish, unesco will demand a correction of this outrages, injustice. today we handed over to the secretary general list of those journalists who have died heroically while performing the duties from the beginning of 2022 to the present day. a certain level of also brought off how it took the o. s. c, 3 years to produce an honest, unfair report on the tags by key of on civilian infrastructure and the casualties and don't, that's going to be gone. and as it turned out, there were 5 times the higher in the don't boss. and as opposed to in the kids. and

they said that even in the times when they came from his own boss, it was in self defense. that relates to the never of course, but still moscow remains optimistic and they hope that this new secretary general will help normalize relations. so i hope that the experience and energy of the secretary general will help count to the efforts the west. and those continue to make, in order to use the o. s. c for their own interest. ignoring both the un charter and all the basic principles of the o. s e. c. i'm trying to leverage the resources of that organization to assist nato and the you and continuing to support the key of regime or by justifying and politically backing it with information, as well as providing extensive military and other assistance to that regime of the o. s. c. secretary general set that russia is an important partner, which is why he is here in moscow. and he's committed to supporting an end to the conflict in ukraine. so which sort elaborate so that this is

a symbolic step towards normalizing relations is going to be a long road. but it's a welcome step forward fronts plans to boost defense spending potentially at the cost of people's welfare as president. i'm a chronus says the taxes should not be increased. there are concerns that the money will be taken from social assistance programs and former philippines president rodrigo, due to worth a. it has been taken into custody in manila. that's after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for him on allegations of crimes against humanity are to correspondence. rebecca and that'd be to who has the story? a swarm is olympian. president. old people do better think it has been arrested upon his arrival at my new loves international airport from hong kong or target to see the arrest was made in compliance with an icpc who were and where it took him

on the philippines war on trucks carried out by the belt, the on jail his term ended in 2020 to get a full scale fight against drug edition, as well as against drug dealers. this comes s b i c c. investigate allegations over 6000 people were killed during the years. long operation database denied any wrong doing, noting he faced off with protests that were how really aren't and he couldn't have succeeded without the bloodshed a recent video offloaded by his daughter sat on the card the best they shows, the former president questioning the legality of his oppressed to that, that claims she was not taken voluntarily and has demanded an explanation for the charges against him. on monday i heard that supposedly there's a warrant for me from the i c c or something. they've been off to me for a long time. what is my saying? i did everything in my time so that filipinos can have a little peace and tranquility,

assuming the accusations against me are true. then why did i do it for me? for my family, i did it for you and your children and our country to the philippines had until last year, refused to cooperate with an investigation by the i c. c, which says it has jurisdiction to pro incidents. while a country is a member, the filipino toward the said they would conduct their own investigations. and in november last year, the government agreed not to present their tests of breast do turn tests, ally and former legal console sulfite on final set. the arrest was on the law school and police have been night, the former president legal representation on their current president. that'd be 9 months junior. who's that student did they have that in 2022 and be in a better political dispute with the former president and his daughter thought id theft that the government has said it would corporate. if the icpc asked

international police to take the belt the into cost city through a support rep noticed this arrest comes as to therapy. it has to be long quite a sizing d west and the western who fall. christy saying washington simply doesn't respect the sauce and t of develop kids back in 2020. tell the americans trying to meal. and because nations of fear, in an exclusive interview with r t a but it does for the meals to look us as a bus out of state. we go swim that we are under them, but it goes for 50 years. and the live of the front, the beloved before we got the independence, when we went, the water goes to them. i'm in america, it's not the philippines. and it's really basically smith. i'm ready to think that the in the navy feel still does they find that many cars bought in bodies? did they have they have overly criticized to western powers,

accusing them off mystery off calling to station instigating wars and what he described as stealing oil from the middle east and variety of statements and operations there the condemned western nations for or they are role in bold conflicts, all their interventions, have these tablets, regions with expertise, saying natural resources for their own k. let's go back to france where the plans to boost defense spending potentially at the cost of people's world welfare as president. my crohn says tax, it should not be increased. there are concerns that the money will be taken from social assistance programs. now, let's get the details from our to configure a racial mars than rachel, welcome to the program. what could be the real cost of this new push for a military's ation by france and the a yeah,

look french present 800 that call is out here. pitching defense spending like a sleazy home security salesman. try and convince friends that russian president vladimir putin is basically the boogie man, who's just about to create through their bedroom window. he wants to crank defense spending up to 3 percent of gdp because you know, why not squeezing either 30000000000 euros a year or the attack stairs were already drowning in debts. francis budget deficit is over $17000000000.00 per year, and the country has been getting a public spanking on the regular from queen ursula and the commission. but apparently fiscal responsibility is so last season now that everyone's obsessed with building weapons. now the big question, where is the cash going to be coming from? some french politicians are worried that it will just end up cutting domestic spending and leave the economy looking like a battlefield. before i hit it up so we must stop the psychosis. that is trying to

be instilled in the minds of workers. the idea that we have to contract on our social rights to finance military spending. without any surprise, emanuel macro ne plays on fears and uses the war and ukraine to push cynicism to the point of using this tragedy to excuse future, social breakdowns and abysmal deficits. all right, so we've been hearing some creative funding ideas. you can say defense ministers, the best seller. can you just announce that francis? i think some old annex 10 r. c takes to rain because a tax don't decompose. so better to have russia recycle them into scrap metal right there on the battlefield. then you don't even have to deal with the carbon footprint, an added bonus, france condition into the use cash for clunkers program that it has for him me down weapons to train for that. of course, that means buying new ones, which is fantastic news for next. it are next to our systems,

the lucky manufacturer here in france. nicole new also mentioned buying more collide bonds form arise jets that france gifted to you pray, inconveniently boosting profits for successful electronics and defense. but here's where it gets g, c, or d, depending on how you look at it. look on, you watch russia to pay for all of that. by swiping a 195000000 euros and interest from frozen russian assets. that's right. they're not just taking rushes money for ukraine. they're also using it to line their own defense industries, pockets using ukraine and puts in as the pre stars. and just that wasn't bold enough. frontier o deputy, validating a lot of things that they should have regular french citizens to proposing a popular loan. so people can invest in defense because nothing says when, when like having a government take the interest on your savings and promise you,

it's a good deal. new all over in germany, friedrich murtz, the chancellor elect is scheming to dips, the dead rage and throw a trillion euro. that weapons and infrastructure because hey, ford is struggling to the point where they're having to rely on the mother ship in the us. for a bellow, but right metal the tank maker is re key in cash like a stripper and a bachelor party. now the greens in germany are throwing in absolute fits and they're saying that they're gonna block all this, but they couldn't just very well and being bribed into compliance if they can get climate funding worked into this deal somehow. maybe one tank 10 trees policy were for every leopard to tank that they build someone gets to have a polar bear and make a fortune doing it. you know, racial regarding the russian frozen assets. i also don't know if it's dodgy or

juicy, but it's definitely convenient. i think contributor rachel mars and thank you so much. the remain is trampling on democratic principles. that's the accusation by the kremlin spokespersons and the 3 fiscal. he can then to the member states decision to for bid, former top candidates carol and jor jessica, from a running for president on the bumper, near northern democrats. this is a violation of all the norms of democracy. we have not yet heard any condemnation of this in europe center. obviously, our country is being accused of some kind of involvement. that's complete nonsense . it's an absolutely baseless accusations. it's just romania in this case. let's say it is taking a path, a tramples on democracy. any election that takes place without your jessica would be legitimate, that have been accusations that russia was involved in meddling in the election back in november of last year, which calling to jessica one by a quite

a significant majority. however, despite the fact that that continues to be dis, accusations, new evidence as being present today. and in fact the investigations that have taken place, buying the authorities here in romania actually point to a pro european group. this is the national liberal policy as happening. promoted calling georgia school and an attempt to take votes waived from another conservative candidates, so their own kind of that got the, the head in the presidential election. now since then, the election is going to be we run in may of the cl calling, who jessica is attempted to become a candidate. once again, he's been denied the opportunity said to do that, that by the central elect told bureau. and she is saying that as a result of that decision, romania itself is essentially a box sliding and it's has become a country that is under to any is

a direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide. i have one message left. if democracy in romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall. this is just the beginning. it's that simple . europe is now a dictatorship. romania is under tyranny. well, that decision to, to know, i called in to just do the attempt to be a candidate in rebundle if that cancel the election is now being discussed by the constitutional court being 9 members of that cool to do to me, to in the next few hours to consider an appeal buying to jeff stupid, he should be a candidate in that section. we are expecting to get a decision from the crew later tonight. and we understand that that decision will be fine the the way and it will be new to their ability for sure. yes. to to p lot decision. twin interesting. he enough. we've not heard anything from brussels. and i say that's interesting because we know the russian for an intelligent service

says that brussels is actually the one directing these decisions in romania. but it's considered and that some of the like calling to adjust to the problem. i think if he's became president and that's because he's seen as being somebody in the same vein as donald trump in the united states. and that concerns that, that would mean another mean here in eastern europe in addition to robot feats. so and victor open that sees things and little bit different lead to how brussels on demand doing that. i would like to be repeating union at work. however we have been hearing from some you repeat the link is including so back is robot seat. so who he says it's these police worrying deeply, worrying that the european commission has not reacted to what's happening in romania. the e u commission must take a position on the presidential elections in romania if the commission remain silent as it did in case of slow vakio in 20202023. it will put another nail in the coffin

of the on trustworthiness of the entire e. u. as the government wanted to put me in prison without any reason. as the leader of the opposition, i am very sensitive to similar cases the european commission at that time and the relevant commissioners did not give a damn about slovakia. in romania, it is suspected that this is a similar case to ours. just because a presidential candidate has a different opinion from the obligatory one. does he need to be removed? this is more than a national issue. this is about democracy in the face of the you. well, jose yes, cuz campaign is now waiting on that final decision, and he's supposed to say the election was stolen from him and the cooling for revolution. now, russian, although to use i use it to people connected with the british embassy in moscow of conducting espionage and subversive activities. they've been given 2 weeks to leave the country if it was being expelled. or michael skinner was married to

a top official in the facilities political department, as well as all cash or deadra, the embassies 2nd. secretary. authorities say they intentionally provided false information when receiving permission to enter russia. london, the subversive activities apparently are not limited to moscow. russian intelligence has warns that the u. k will do all it can to do rail. donald trump's piece initiatives in london is annoyed that donald trump holds dialogue with russia like with a super power and demonstrates and neglect towards america's closest allies. stormer was peak by a provocative question from the us president during a joint press conference in regards to the ability of the british nation to counter russians on its own. following the visit by the prime minister downing street came to the conclusion that faithful friends are defacto throwing the british on the side line of the process of re from adding european in global security. in this

situation, british authority, c as a top priority, the the railing of peace making efforts by the new us administration in regards to ukraine, independence, political commentator and a strategist anthony webber says, and you k stated is one piece, but the government maintains a war monitoring position so we've come to say the united kingdom, the all tax pairs won't pay is big used around a $100.00, but i also saw out for a higher most people best own people. one for society, a piece we want to get on. well, with we've offer time sheets in the world. you go back uh no, but the longer guys that she pull major my visit the role if i'm re pipe low visits to russia because it was dean's, she'll be a good thing for the united kingdom drive. excellent. relations with russia, while the united kingdom government leads today is about victory. think i've

stopped going down the road a piece supporting donald trump is peaceful efforts. adults trying to uh to uh, try bosch them or fax it to a. i'm all, well we have to use is or so to try it for set try you should because some people where do you crying in the crime? the shame of being in college stuff. i saw him is all very concise. are these policies must change and stop with the stop the war one, right, which, which the government is actually provided taking in ukraine. and i'll be back in with a more news at the top of the. yeah, we're in the meantime, you can always go to our website to archie, dot com for even more stories and analysis the .
