control volker, the un high commissioner for human rights, gave birth to another report on belarus, thes old, the repressions, of course, are especially impressive in the inhumane conditions in the punishment cells, this is how they write, i’ll even quote here, prisoners were not allowed to have any personal belongings or do something personal, and also sleep during. let's put jokes aside, the conclusion from the report is that crimes against humanity are being committed in belarus, i will ask for a little time, this person needs to be answered, who obviously lives in his own reality, he does not see what is happening in the middle east, what israel is doing, he does not see where the terrorists, on whose hands the blood has not yet dried, are tearing their claws. he absolutely needs to ensure that people in our pre-trial detention centers can sleep and get enough sleep during the day, otherwise this is a direct violation of everything, well, there was also something about gender, this is a separate story, such a strange document, this man with his statement drove another nail into the

something there, really. mundanity, even that the ukrainians themselves cannot come up with, like kurt volkeraitors, yes, who, no, they of course act in coordination with ukraine, but for sure it’s them , these are not ukrainian armed forces, but where do they get vampires, and he says, these are probably ukrainian weapons, probably not the west, the vampire is not ukrainian, probably not western, says kurtov, why is it no longer the west, in this regard no longer west. no, well, that is, you understand, well, he lies of course, he lies, of course, so openly, frankly, alisa seleznyova, i think my mother is stuck in the past, 100 years ago, and kolya gerasimov, they will expel us, she wants to go back to the past. believe me too, i'm going to pull her out, he dreams of the future, attention, rejection, moved away from me, they will meet in the present, the fate of the milky way planet and thirteen, thirteen, thirteen galaxies in our hands, in the present in a movie hit, and i like it , as it sounds, 100 years ago forward, everything will be fine, trust me, mom, soon! these are things that have

volker turk said that the expansion of reputation-building means the expulsion of palestinians from their land and homes, and this is considered a war crime. abdullah is awake at night until morning. always on standby. the zionists may attack his house and farmland at any moment. nights in hawareh region are like nightmares. organized crime groups carry out their attacks mostly at night. they may attack at 12:00 p.m., 3:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. abdullah's house is like an operation room. he with his children they take turns guarding. even 10-year-old elias does a guard duty. i am closed alone. since i fall asleep early at night, i try to stay awake for two hours at night. the settlers broke the doors of the showroom and set fire to all the cars. the minister of internal security of the zionist regime explained thousands of weapons among the settlers after the operation of the wulqsa storm with the aim of forcing the west bank palestinians to leave their homes and leaving their hands free to commit more crimes. yes, the zionist regime still prevents aid convoys from entering gaza. this is a we

un high commissioner for refugees, philippa grandi, and the un high commissioner for human rights, volkern to reconsider its plans and stop shifting responsibility. but the fact is that providing asylum to those in need is very expensive in the uk; during the period of consideration of applications, illegal immigrants are usually placed in special migration centers, of which there are already not enough, the maintenance of migrants, according to tymes, costs british taxpayers about 4 billion pounds sterling per year, the same number of illegal immigrants. which reaches england through lamsh is growing every year, since 2018 alone , more than 110,000 people have moved to the uk in this way, which is why rishi sunok did everything to ensure that the bill was adopted right now. for the sake of jesus, others for the sake of the bread of taste. and today there is a spiritual battle going on inside the lavra. the united states, the west, initially set the task of tearing the ukrainian people away from the russian people. the lord is wonderful among his saints. let's see what will happen next. 2

live , hot on the heels, and so we start with breaking news, the un commissioner for human rights, volkerfeed you...

not reflect the reality that ours is, i once said these words in the 18th year at a meeting with volkeraid that he was more interested in the fact that there was a war going on in the world, because people were dying every day, and i said these words when i told him that in time it would be no less than what happened. at that time it happened, and he agreed, and you see, today volkir has a completely different rhetoric, today, i think, and trump's rhetoric will also change, because it is not only ukraine that does not end, and today the dust is falling, and the question is not, not that, not these iranian actions... the same, yes, terrorist actions as russia, the question in the fact that either there is a great state, or there is unity in europe, or there is no such thing, but ukraine, ukraine, the country does not have elections, we will all, well, no one will come out, it will be taken here again, as in march 22 well, automatic machines and everything else, because you can't run all the time. somewhere there, i don't know, wait, it won't work this time, and that's why this mood, no m

oleksandr, please stay in touch, let's listen to the former us special representative for ukraine , kurt volker, about how the results of the american presidential elections can affect support for ukraine. we know that the biden administration will continue to provide support. country, but will do so very carefully and avoid any escalation as far as possible. so, it will be a slow build-up of support that we have seen so far. it's good, but it could be done better. if trump had won, we frankly don't know what he would have done. he only said that he would end the war in one day, but he never explained how or what that would mean. and if we draw conclusions from this. ideas, then the only reason for war is that that vladimir putin believes that he can achieve his goals and succeed in aggression against ukraine. so, in my opinion, if you want to... end the war, the only way to do it is to convince vladimir putin otherwise, he will never win, he will never achieve anything, so he has to stop. i think that in order to convey this message, we need support from the united states, weapons, budget supp

and i'lljust quote to you the un's most senior human rights official, volker turk, who recently told, there is now, quote, "a plausible case that israel is using starvation "as a weapon of war." you're a former international diplomat. that's a lie.... you know what this is doing to israel's reputation. i know exactly who wrote the report, and you can look at what he wrote in the past. those people, they always come against israel. we're doing our best to minimise civilian suffering and casualties in gaza. hamas is doing exactly the opposite. they want to drag the war. and look what happened only two days ago. and i'm not saying my opinion — the us said it very clearly that israel was willing to go a very long way to achieve an agreement, a humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. you can ask the qataris who were involved, the egyptians and the americans. you know what? don't believe us. i know that you don't believe what i'm saying. but ask the american envoy, the head of the cia, what happened with the negotiations with hamas. they rejected all the ideas completely. they have no desire to ne

conflict, the analysis from the former representative of the us state department on ukraine, kurt volker, further. this aid will change the situation, and primarily it is about providing ukraine with the ammunition necessary to maintain the front line. the only reason that russian the troops have made some progress in recent months is the lack of ammunition for the ukrainian military, so this will be corrected. secondly, it will replenish the popular systems. or the air defense systems that ukraine has to protect kyiv, odesa and other cities, which is also critical as air defense munitions are running out, but most importantly, this package appears to include the longest-range artillery systems that the us can provide for attacks, as well other long-range systems. this will allow ukraine to reach deep beyond the line front to attack the russians. supply lines that russia uses to support its forces on the ground, to continue the war, and to maintain control over crimea, so giving ukraine these longer-range systems will be absolutely critical to changing the trajectory of the conflict. if

volker turk called for independent investigations into the deaths.ls said they had exhumed the bodies of almost 300 people at nasser. it is not clear how they died or when they were buried. israel's military said claims that it buried bodies there were "baseless". let's turn back to the us now because the senate is debating the final passage of four foreign aid bills that would send billions of dollars in military assistance to ukraine, israel and taiwan. on saturday, the house of representatives ended months of stalemate to pass the aid package. earlier, my colleague sumi somaskanda spoke to senator tim kaine ahead of the ukraine vote in washington. he told her how quickly he thinks the bill will pass and get to the president's desk. in february was a 70—29 vote and i think you will see something similar tonight, it could be as early as seven or eight o'clock or close to midnight. 30 hours of debate is allowed before the final vote, it does not have to be taken, but i think we pass the motion at about three o'clock this afternoon so i suspect a numb

kurt volker, former us ambassador to nato told the bbc about the significance of this.in the first instance, it is about giving ukraine the ammunition it needs to hold the line. the only reason the russian forces have advanced a little bit in recent months is because of the lack of ammunition on the ukrainian side. so that's going to be rectified. second, it will replenish the anti—aircraft systems or the air defence systems that ukraine has to protect kiev, odessa and other cities. that's also critically important because they are running low on air defence munitions. but most importantly, this package appears that it will contain the longest range artillery systems that the us can provide the attack, as well as other long range systems which will allow ukraine to go further behind the front line to attack russian supply lines. now this is what russia is using to keep its forces supplied in the field and to keep the war going and to maintain its control of crimea. so giving ukraine these longer range systems will be absolutely critical for changing the trajectory of th

i'm joined now by kurt volker. he's the former us ambassador to nato ambassador. thank you so much for joining us. what do you think the us is doing behind the scenes right now, give us a little sense well, i think they're looking at alternatives to military action to put some kind of pressure back on around. i think there are definitely talking with our allies in europe, but also allies in the middle east region, particularly the arab states. and they are trying to do so in order to reassure israel that there'll be a sufficient risk fonts to iran that would justify israel not taking more military action itself i have to say, i think that this is unclear whether this is going to succeed the issue i think in the middle east region is that iran has struck or israel directly from its own territory and would appear to be getting away with it if there's no further military response, and that creates perceptions in the middle east about lack of us support for israel are resolved about iranian strength in the region good point in addition to a potential military response
