emerging of locals, low suid stays where i've been evacuated, but opportunity presented itself at the wasted russian troops towards hud presley especially sway. oh, maybe not as much rap. oh, i see the minus show measure to what to do. so if it is a red one or 2 did more that is this the one that noah, which this is the card, but full of us go by weight. so for so it was, for course this was the yes we do you? yes. let's move would be good, then the 4 would use to those 4 courses. so oh, so, so, so what, what did his bubbles go? c, r c, and i see a slide, ma, mazda, of troops of the administrative boundaries of sue driven law. just settlement

through 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 it was a 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 a very of course, which you create a held as a cheap but the negotiations able to to either trade away russian lab for you. what he says is ukrainian lab currenty is you create interim faced face collapse disorder and private impulse. they have launched $300.00 worldly $300.00 drones as russia, including about a 100 at the most go down the russian ministry of defense. a said the,

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 state was shut down in the russian seize, using russian countryside. russian forces will quickly clear the coldest of you crate in you create in invaders and especially important considering that the lens getting the key of administration a spent expended tens of thousands of ukrainian lives. soldiers live some of the best units in order to seize via the lab, which they are also again dramatically using. now. now this columns as hundreds of ukrainian roads where shut down in this cries over russia as air defenses counted an overnight attack. now,

federal authorities calling it an act of terrorism, a keeps forth, is targeted residential areas killing at least 3 people and wounding 18 others including several children of the videos, circulating online show a number of residential buildings damaged. several small fires broke out in the effect of the modern blocks of the crumbling come into the on the attack, saying that the wild key of is attacking civilian buildings. russian forces, striking military targets that were heard from residents of the moscow region whose apartment building was brought 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 as 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 called 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 that way. head office meeting with rushes for administer the secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe was given a glimpse of the damage course. he saw the aftermath of an apartment building as well as damaged vehicles below. he was late asked about it during his press conference with ross and top picked up much to get abra flaming 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? why has the key of regime intensified its attacks right now at this time? as i say, this floor has brought a lot of pain and suffering to millions of people saygos in cuba. and i saw so similar incidents that i do hope that people see that as the end of the war and peoples no longer with this. these incidents. ready neither a must go in the holding queue. think sorry, get a lab or offset that this was a very much welcome to visit, considering that previous secretary generals have been avoided in most go for years

with the last visit being 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 for making contact with the rush. of course that was some level of contact maintains, but definitely not live before. and then who went on to say that such actions really destroyed the principle of consensus and forced to organization 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, o s. c, observers misrepresents and the situation on the ground. and that times even helping the ukrainian side and of course and the tories emissions on desktop. it's the, to the topic of journalists, safety was raised in considerable detail. we noted that the o. c. e representative on freedom of the media. just taking a bad example from unesco direct to general as

a who in the annual report released by unesco on generalist safety, didn't bother to mention the crimes against our compatriots. what does journalist and come about areas? we have compose the corresponding demolish for unesco, and will demand a correction of this outrages injustice. today we handed over to the secretary general, a 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 up how it's that c o s c 3 years to produce an honest and fair report on the tags by key of on civilian infrastructure and the casualties. and don't that's going to look on skin as it turned out. there were 5 times a higher in the don't boss and as opposed to in the kids. and they said that even of the times when they came from his own boss, it was in self defense. but relate 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, e, and trying to leverage the resources of that organization to assist nato and the e u. 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 said 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. now let's take your bump to our top story. we've been following this out. romania is constitutional court has rejected an appeal by the

former presidential election fund, runa colleen, just due to over time, the bad on him running for office. now let's cross live to our, to correspondence all the best key. joining me right now, it's all about. can you tell us more about the ports this isn't just a moment ago? well, for the moment, oh, we know is that the judge is out. the constitutional cole pepper jack said that appeal that was made by calling georgia screwed him self, and he was appealing a decision by the country a sudden to election 0, which said he could not stand in the re well enough last is canceled elections. as you mentioned that mike calling to jessica tank top of the 1st wrong defense elections or did you believe that he was denied the opportunity to be president in what should have been the 2nd round of those elections in december when it was cancelled by remaining? is constitutional, cool? no rush as far and intelligent services. the size of that was cancelled as

a result of direct interference from russell's run. easy with the only do you call in to address be coming? romania is next president. we all of them getting reaction from some of those 2 things to poor taking calling she was asking for the last 2 weeks. the only thing to old student in terms of the big single of those to be the platform x a not a disgrace. once again, because the visual quote isn't working so romanian people, it's a talking all democracy on our a central rights and freedoms. that is george city and who is the president of the old policy here, made it himself also previous the presidential candidates in not to know the election and his cronies support behind miss visual jessica and these last spring weeks. so this is the last form of recourse for this special jessica, this decision, bicycle spiritual thoughts and romania cannot be appealed. it is

a final decision. but many of the protesters have already been shown. think this is not the end because many people have failed, but not the election back in december wasn't stolen from them. many people believe that it's a re run that takes place. it is a not checked in with the election, which i mean i calling to address you is not able to participate. so we have of course, good from the russian. i spoke progressing to the primary demetrius i spoke earlier, so like, oh, so the question of whether or not i'd like to check on the adjustment is, are not allowed to run. interesting. one of the reasons he was told his candidacy was denied because the whole state shows state as a many. now that back is the start of a slippery slope. you're not going to bargain it could be used across europe. you decide any time today, today's null and void, if that kind of it is not seems to be liked by brussels. there's just concerning

many of the people i'm just making sure the last few weeks and romania feel as if democracy has taken us serious about slides. in the country, but for the mind that we know that the decision roman is constitutional. what is that calling to adjusting will not be able to run in the re run of last year's presidential election and our teachers for the best keep bringing us up to speed the issues in romania. thank you. are you now moving away from that now for my philippines president and rodrigo, do i tell you that it has been taken into custody in manila? and that's after the international criminal court issued and the rest of the warrant for him on allegations of crimes against humanity. obviously correspondents are big enough to pull. who has the story? a swarm is olympian. president old people do battle say it has been arrested upon his arrival at my new last international airport from hong kong or tar to see the arrest was made in compliance with an icpc who are and where it took him on the

philippines war on trucks carried out by the benefit on jail, his term ended in 2022. he won't get a full scale fight against drug edition, as well as against drug dealers. this comes as the icbc investigator 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 that'll make are the best they shows, the former president questioning the legality of his oppressed to that the claims he 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 o, 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 b 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 gutierrez as ally, and formerly known console sulfide on final set the raft and was on the law school and police had denied the former president legal representation on their current husband. that'd be not mazda as junior. who's that student the, that the in 2022 and be she would be new and better political dispute with the former president and his daughter signed the fact that the

government has said it would copper rate. if the icpc asked international police to take the benefit into cost city, do a support rep noticed this arrest comes as to dare to. it has been long quite a sizing the west and the western hugh falk receive se. washington simply doesn't respect the sovereignty of the villa. pete's back in 2022 detailed the americans trying to meal and his nation's affairs in an exclusive interview with r t. a better does on females to look us as a bus out of state. because from that we are under them, but it goes for 50 years and the live of different the beloved before we got the independence, we went the water against them. i'm in a medic guys not be philippines. and it's really been so it's not that many good things that the in, in the navy feel still does they find that many guns bought in bodies?

did they have they have only 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 to dare to condemn western nations for their role in bold conflicts all their interventions have these tablets, regions with exploit, piecing natural resources for their own gate. now away from the philippines, the solvent african development community will hold a virtual summit on size day to discuss the security situation in the eastern biase while hundreds of people including the academy lawyers and really just need as have signed an open letter to the un secretary general urging him to take action against the present persecution of kimberly splits of people living near the wanton board

in our view for lasting peace and security in the d. r. c and the great lakes region. it is necessary for the united nations to address rwanda's security concerns by combating the genocidal ideology that they have been spreading in the region since they committed the 1994 genocide against the tootsie and rolanda. discontinue and discourage any military support for the d. r. c. government, if it continues to call on janice adair's mercenaries and militias, whose political program is limited to the extermination of the tutsis. it's not just the fate of the people of the great lakes and their need for security that is at stake. the credibility of the united nations and its commitment to universal human rights are also at stake. now let's press the live to john pierre, kind of gave you the director of interdisciplinary genocide studies center. and one of the cool offers of atlanta to the un jump here is good to have you join me. so can you share with us what prompted you and your colleagues to rides this letter to

the you in regarding the persecution of google is to see yeah, for thank you so much. i think the reasons one we do have one inc. signs they can do getting ready that was, that was submitted to a genocide against a to see from google, for example. you know, so the q who by normally in good that's us been like for 7 years that would be kids expect from the done. so and then then they'll give it to a and the 2nd, the reason we do we need to have the impression that get people from different places. and the more than 400 people couldn't share a lawyer as really just need to us. so we didn't realize that to which is that happening now when people are talking about uh, just in this as being just summarize just using one story, a single story and the single no, it is just like we have

a m 53 bucks to buy ylanda and because of amazing, so that sees in the new one is to think about the key didn't books. let's see. so i think that was the main reason to a different effect, us and the but of course, you know, where the tell we went, wanted to, to discuss more with, discuss a more about the situation over to see the democratically. because all right, in your view, what are the most critical steps that the you, when should take to prevent further violence against the commodities duties? yeah, i think the defense of but they need to really 2 steps. you could talk about the steps for simple, you know, in the, in the category. but people that come with you have him on his co, in the bonus because working with his dentist, you did in those. so we've, it was, i didn't do endorsing because i think we've been missing those. and they're mostly,

for example, uh the general should do. and it was a little, you only have one still there under two's big submission over to. so it's really strange to have you in working with vision. let's do that situation. so i think for certain, for one, for example, to make sure that's one score, he's nothing is go to giving support groups. and the 2nd is that is very important . is like we have the history over you in it because of world one day 1994. so they did you recall the nice for example, they fill us, i think they should use i mean, any rethinking that they mention in detroit to understand what happened. 1994 different reports, way of reaching so way not to use that's experience. i mean, the bus and the different to do to meant and to riggs. i mean, really, you know, they mission and democratic and republican, the quote would, that's a very important and

a i think also uh they have also to address the one then security to issue. so that's as some of the element that think of it was really important. all right. what role do you believe for and involvement in such as support for the m 23 militant group has played in the address of basing tensions within the d r c. and i'm sorry, can you repeat the question? so yeah, yeah. what, what i'm, so i'm talking about forward into fair. and so what do you, what do you think is a role of foreign involvement that's, that's creating more tension. phone spends a lot of people have said there is support for this for and supports for the employees to be rebels. what do you think those things are? well, what's your assessment on? what are you hearing? yeah, talking about so both of them did you, 1st of all, we have to know what you then 23. so you have a group of people. i mean, their notes up to the senses range to exceed the net, to most of what people belonging to the 20 treat, especially for example,

the community. so, and the data applies to defendants and when the government can support them with the government can protected them. so that uses when destroyed, they think this in 2020, the 2012 presented. that will make you mention that to said for example, if you don't resolve the issue of what due to community it didn't empty tubing, we'd be there. we have a so, and the think about the supporting most of the people we think like we did it say that this is a, from the one that for example is or one this up which and get m 53. i think that is what the question the question is, you have one think sides that explaining that to people texted in people. so and the one that has another issue, the one that is use is mostly about security. so you have the if the leg yeah, that can go my beautiful perform. did you to, to go from uh so, and do you just start on the one that ended up being the 2nd one from democratic republic? because oh, so i think for the one that the question is

a security. and that means they have to do some if they're there, you know, and there was to go back, for example, again, this is the ideal energy because you have kind of a head speech not only against commodities to t, but again, so, so that, so that is they think they have to address, but they think for the one that is more about situate. all right, what message would you like to come say to those who are skeptical about the severity of the car in danger, against the cold, with these duties to you? i think that mr. do we have to learn about what to happen? you'd wonder 1994. so those so we have the old site is a way g like george up in the space settings. wonderful. 912924. so that's happening, like the democratic republic puscetti hit speech. so if you go online, you found it everywhere like the most of what people asking that can using is

present the company's community. but it's, it was important to shift pushing for that for that thing. hit speech and even wishing that the to be more of a tootsie companies to, to sing the point where these visual dies. so all of that, the things available is that with vendors, i think the national community, you end up getting, you know, not freaked out new york city after there was to yes in did that to do this care which for example, this hit speech and also i think they should avoid to ready to set forth what devices come with these government or any one that is working. for example, as i mentioned to you in that community school to work with those to the groups. that is, the only 2 of them is the extent munition over to the community in democratic with people to come around. we have to living here now as john cara category, a director of the interdisciplinary genocide studies center, and one of the co authors of the letter to the us and thank you for your insight.

thank you. thank you so much. great. and so the middle is now serious, new defense ministry says he has conducted a so called military operation against loyal as the former president boston on the side. now most of the valens has been in the country is northwest, where many residents are christians or alo whites. on verified footage, all of this executions and a lot talk you have problems has been streaming across social media. a wanting that this report contains disturbing images. the the job, the .
