pledges to unblock billions of dollars of frozen afghan ponds. dashing the hopes of death for it, locals with the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country in chaos, and then they froze our money. the us should not miss st. afghans white, the poll people of afghanistan for about 20 years have lived with conflict. paul ship and suffered poverty with good morning 5 am here in moscow and from wherever you're catching the program. welcome to our to international top news stories from around the globe. happy to have you with us. we begin in don bass, where ukrainian forces have shelled a residential building in the city of fargo by in the look on the people's republic using american supplied high mars artillery systems. that's according to local authorities. here's the aftermath of the shelling. ah ah ah ah ah ah lugens consort, he say at least one person was killed and 3 others wounded, including a child in the attack. ukrainian forces are said to have fire 3 rockets, one of which hit the civilian building. local officials have started a criminal probe into the shelling, which they say is further evidence of genocide. across in the see of marable in the dying. yes, people's republic local military suppers, or removing land mines, scattered by ukrainian forces in playgrounds in school yards. some of the explosives are being diffused while others are destroyed on the spot. the mining operations also continue across the frontline were russian forces are helping to remove many munitions, banned by the international community artes. your son of looks at the duties of russia's national guard. for ukrainian forces, no tactic is off limits, no weapon is too brutal. international backs agreements and conventions have long gone out of the window. and this thing right here in my lap is direct evidence of the west supplying the ukrainian army with internationally band weapons. this is a german made anti tank mine and inside it has a magnetic sense. um so this mine it knows when a heavily armored vehicle with a lot of metal inside drives even close by. he doesn't even have to directly hit a mine for it to go off when it sensors the presence of an armored vehicle. so right now it has been disarmed, of course. and as i've talked to the sappers, they take off anything metal, all the armor before working with this mind because it can go off just by sensing an armored vest again. such munitions are not legal to use under the international law. it is so sensitive, it could be triggered even by the minesweeper when it's hovered over. that's what makes it a frowned upon choice of munitions. according to the defense ministry of russia, the national guard sappers discovered it on the outskirts of our tom, ask the cities arguably, the biggest hot spot in the don bass right now. with russian infantry already fighting within the city limits. special forces of the national guard are providing cover these guys operate by the one shot, one kill rule, and they're not wasting any bullets on ordinary targets, muffins, allajay, screening. our mission is to deploy currently and hit the most important targets. the key incentives says wasn't good in tiffany laqueena, goering, unit commanders, machine gunners, snipers, and others in areas more. remote from the front lines, rushes national guard has its hands full to diversions. squads remain active behind the lines and dawned down. yes, those are slim. could put on here, we run a check point for civilian cars, prevent sabotage and reconnaissance groups from infiltrating into the area of responsibility and check whether civilians are carrying any prohibited materials group. it's mostly people returning home after 8 years of absence. they want to see what happened to their homes. well, if any belongings or documents still remain where they take them away with them with permission from the military police. oh, i'm a good dawn of reporting from the don bass. ot c. ukraine should retake crimea and use western weapons to do so. that's according to german and swedish leaders who made their views public. the aggressive stance has been backed by some western political scientists, with one being particularly hawkish, high time for ukraine to take out the coach bridge. the rumor here in washington is that the national security council has prohibited ukraine to do so, threatening, less military supplies. if the ukrainians do so, i hope that is not true because ukraine has to bomb the current bridge. the current branch known in russia as the crimea bridge is the longest structure of its kind in europe and is used by civilians taurus, and for the transportation of every day goods. it was opened in 20183 years after a referendum in which premiums voted to join russia. despite being a lifeline for civilians, ukrainian officials have publicly called for the bridge to be destroyed. such statements come after last week's powerful explosions at military sides with the russian defense ministry calling the blas acts of sabotage, while keith has not formerly admitted involvement, geopolitical analysts and former us marine john mark doogan believes ukraine does not have the sophistication to attack the bridge alone, i think they would do it in a minute if they could. and you know, they don't really care about who would happen to be on or under that bridge at the moment. whether it be civilians or even refugees coming out of crimea. they don't care. um, i think they'll hit any target to the thinking. i don't think america would say, go ahead and use your missiles to strike schools in don etzky, but that's what they are doing. so obviously there's some degree of freedom there. however, ukraine doesn't have the sophistication to use these long range weapons to strike some of the targets that they've been striking. meaning that there has been heavy coordination with the united states government in using them ah, in our special coverage we continue looking at the developments in afghanistan since the last american soldier left it soil one year ago. this month. that along with the suffering hardship and failure experienced by the afghan people, no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history. ah . with john and staying was afghanistan, a powerful explosion has hit a mosque in kabul during evening. prayers with multiple casualties feared while the numbers of injured and dead remain unclear. police have. * launch an investigation local journalists as these con, whole task reports from the ground. the double her powerful bomb exploded during pres and a famous mosque called abu bukosa decay in the car khana area of the capital. kabul . according to eye witnesses, the leader of the bosque moly, come, booley, and several of the worshippers allegedly were killed. couple place have confirmed the incident and said that teams rushed to the area to collect evidence and investigate. they also said the final number of martin engines will be announced after their investigation. how and cabal is completely shut down. please said they will do the best to maintain lauren order and help the relatives of the injured and dead and hand over their bodies. and on the one year anniversary of the takeover of a scanner sent by the taliban, the by did administration has abandoned plans to release billions of dollars of afghan funds held in the us anytime soon. citing fears that the money could end up in the hands of terrorists. the statement comes over 2 weeks after an american drone attack killed a long time. okay, to write boss in kabul. we heard from locals who faced chronic cache shortages in the 12 months since america's devastating withdrawal. ah, by sorry, off on a sunday after the u. s. froze, our money people moved under the poverty line on the banks have given us that they have no solution. the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country in chaos and then they froze our money up. they did this intentionally to push us into serious trouble and then take advantage from that in the future. you have yet have another. in my opinion, the us should not miss st. afghans. why the poll people of afghanistan for about 20 years have lived with conflicts hauled ship and suffered poverty. with almost as he went out, we have demanded at washington implement the agreements reaching doha. we have not violated any of the points in the agreement so far, but we ask others to fulfill their obligations as well. mm . ah . well i know you're who knows us sanctions have destroyed afghans, homes. why made children suffer from famine and literally took the clothes from their backs? only a rare person here can say that they can make clothes for their children and not mentioned the high prices of flower, oil, sugar, and food. if the mother taught him higher, if we talk about the sanctions, america imposes on our poor and innocent people. they just want to kill people. mm . on the lead, when a man we want to be seen as ordinary people were not wizards, where people like them all these countries have reached their present level in 30 or 50 years and they want us to achieve it in one year. even though the condition of the country in which we got it is not good. ah ah ah, yes, this issue definitely injection of caching today on national and national resources into the army of the company will cause a geniune outcomes because the dissolution of an economic activity will be very important for the county to recover and to, to create the condition that people can see themselves signing off on death. ukrainians are offering dudley munitions as a canvass to express people's hatred of russian soldiers. the sy, my rocket fundraising platform, sells messages on a wide range of munitions to be used against russian troops. clients worldwide pay for their inscriptions on bombs and missiles and then receive photos back of the munitions and action. the platforms co founder says the majority of clients are from the u. s. a claims to provide money for the country's war effort, yet it is not sanctioned by the ukrainian military. the platform has gone viral since it was featured in the washington post online prompting questions as to whether it help to promote the targeting of russians. it included examples of feedback from satisfied customers in links to similar rissa phobic services, even highlighting the role of such quote, humor in war. the tradition of resistance is strong, said, year us love reach sac ukrainian historian. he said, humor and obscenities have long typified ukraine's response to foreign occupation. let's discuss this live now with steve gill, a radio host and political commentator, ukrainian historians are calling this typical humor and a humorous response to foreign occupation. what do you make of this type of humor? i don't think it's funny, particularly when you have civilians who are paying to have these inscriptions put on these deadly weapons when there's a history in warfare of combatants cutting inscriptions or messages on bombs or missiles. but you know, they're firing at each other and they are at risk to have somebody who's thousands and thousands of miles away safely disguised in their home. participating on this is, you know, quite frankly, i think sick, this is not some game. these are deadly weapons. and the ukrainian weapons are not particularly precise though, when they go awry and it's some family in don't ask when they kill children. it began to seem funny to the people that were inscribing anniversary, messages on these weapons. and well, people in france and germany who may be paying for the same kind of quote humor. but these are russian oil. a natural gas is not, this is frankly disgusting. and as an american, i apologize to the russian people is this at all. and frankly, it be sick if, if there were people funding russian missiles and bombs flowing into your brain and vice versa. this is the sd, it's not a game, is not some on mine. you know, 1st shooter game like call of duty where you press a button and everything goes back to well and everybody returns to life. this is discussed. the washington post article seems to be describing this project as a fund and creative effort. do you see them promoting, actually promoting what can be described as a non rip repeatable business? yeah, and they didn't really provide any balance in their story. again, i will say that i'm not surprised that the washington post doesn't provide balance on virtually any story. they pick the side as of most of american media and as, and the only way you know, things are doing worse for ukrainian military forces at this point is that it is pretty much moved off the front pages of, of american newspapers. it's not the lead story in american television news. and i think americans are getting rightly war, weary of the billions of dollars that have flowed into one side of this conflict without any kind of balance or, or generalist, take integrity and what's really going on. so the washington post is unfortunately living up to its reputation and i read ability. the article also includes very positive feedback from americans who use the service. what does this tell us about the opinion of americans on this issue and also about the state of humanity? i think that americans have gotten one side of this whole story from the beginning . the, you know, putting your ukrainian flag on your facebook or social media pay is just a reflective of when americans are just told one side of the story, they instantly gravitate to it. we thought the same thing with the media was jumping all over cove it and get back slated, and now we're finding their own c, d. c is telling us the rest of the story and what we were being told with was either not science based and certainly not truth based. i think the same thing's been true with the propaganda that americans have been. but again, i think bribing an anniversary message to their, their wife on a missile that is, is going into a bad area that may or may not kill civilians. these people are not thinking about what they're doing. and again, while soldiers have been doing this or been teresa is different when noncombatants are paying money to send a message that that reflects a lack of understanding of lack of ality. and frankly, since you do you think these actions like this drawing offensive of slogans unreal, munitions could actually provoke more hatred within people. absolutely. and, you know, i think this will backfire on, on those no pun intended, that better there are funding this, that the think they're being cute, by doing this. you know, at some point just this conflict will end. and it will be important for, for countries, for relationships to be rebuilt. and i think this sort of thing will make it very difficult for folks, particularly parents in russia who may have had a son or a daughter killed by these in scrub. it should think it's going to be harder to bring people back together and ultimately we will have to find a way to do one important thing to know is that this service is not officially credited by the ukrainian military. where do you think the thousands of dollars made from this could end up let you know, we had a minister, one of the cabinet ministers in ukraine a month or so ago. acknowledge that ukraine had received about $30000000000.00 in total funding from other countries for military and domestic aid. and at that point, the u. s. it funded 56000000000, and one member of congress originally from ukraine was questioning where's the money going? you know, where's the missing 26000000000 in? was the u. s. is set so i think that the question of where the big dollars that's us is sending for munitions in for, for aid. that raises a question. but when you've got tens of thousands of dollars flowing through these kinds of websites, there's no tracking of that. and i don't think there's any accountability for it. as you move noted, the ukrainian military, the ukranian government has not condemn, frankly, i think west gover, dimmitt and the gradient of it. but it may not stop it, but it will make it clear that this is not sanctioned by anybody that has any steve gal. radio host and political commentator, thank you. thank you. ah, security support for gas exports. that's the latest planned by e. u. leaders who now turn their eyes to mozambique to try and replace russian gas moses. because the 3rd largest gas reserves in africa, it is now set to receive millions of dollars in aid from the block. according to an internal e u document, it aims to strengthen the security of billions of dollars worth of western gas projects in the country. such projects were threatened last year when violence by islamists, islamic extremist threatened the gas rich nor their most province of cobbled delgado. however, previous, please, for military support from the e, you appear to have fallen on deaf ears. the combat involves high costs for our partners. they will not continue for a long time for ever, and operations can be affected if there is no support. the european union is aware . the plan, however, is yet to receive any backing it for proved support will be limited to no lethal equipment despite mozambique request for a more serious commitment. in the meantime, western companies say they are ready to begin exports to the e. u in the near future, african security analysts will car, dia stresses that support from the west. never comes for free. right now. did you wrote a block gift that money tour did run the troops to reduce the interest of the russian? gus, i guess in india, europe and maybe in the future to use them was then we can guess to supply all the necessary things in europe, mozambique. we will pay off this support after some years. so because it's not to re support right now, we will see the big movement for to western country is here in more than the this is not the most and we can the applicant for too much. this is not only the for the gus running, no, this is not going to get to running. this is the one to be for control of the all african countries does cementing as new colonial in africa. another crack emerges and european unity as warsaw has accused. berlin of running the e like an oligarchy. here's our t contributor rachel marston with the details. well, as germany's economy, which is heavily dependent on cheap russian gas get set to bear the brunt of the european union's anti russian sanctions, the top beneficiaries, within the block of germany's financial largest are kicking berlin wallets down for some strange reason. polish officials keep banging on about what they say, our secret plans being cooked up by russia and germany against poland. christoph soleski, the secretary general, the ruling party, told polish state radio that poland, quote, does not fit into german russian plans to rule europe. talk about buying the hand that feeds you, not sure where he's been the past few decades when germany has already been ruling europe in a sense, at least economically and politically. and it's arguable whether poland would even just at this point without germany's financial support through the block, the head of the polish central bank, adam glove pinsky has another rushing german collusion theory. berlin strategic goal is to, in some form, regained their former lands, which are now within polish borders, and to subjugate the entire belts of countries between germany and russia. where is this weird rhetoric coming from and why are they just being fulfill about it now? was taking germany's cash through the you part of the sir version plot as well and is worse, are going to continue to stuff it's pockets with you cash from germany, or will it be refusing it on principle or you know, handing it back at this week's nordic summit german chancellor, olaf schultz rejected calls by finland, estonia lakia in lithuania, for an e. u wide ban on the russian tourists now is stoney, is already doing so with that, with the tacit blessing of the you. but when schultz opposed the move at the you level, it wasn't long before critics were suddenly treating germany like it was the pariah of the block rather than it's perennial golden boy. germany and shoals have become a clear danger to you, unity, i am not sure what can be done. it will be a choice between this german government and europe, letting berlin dictate the pace of our support for ukraine. as a terrible mistake, olaf shoals will not support you wide tourist visas ban to russians. this is why we eastern and central europeans don't trust. charles, germany and france have to pay the bills for the entire block constantly. the entire e u depends on them. so it's not godfrey surprising that they would be sobering up faster than other e u. members to the dire economic reality of the ideologically driven sanctions. france is also facing pressure from polish prime minister mateus morrow wiki on paper. all member states are equal, but the political reality shows that the weight of the german and french voices is dominant. you're dealing with a formal democracy, but a defacto oligarchy, where the power is held by those who are the strongest. pretty tough words there. it sounds like he's bracing for france to come to its senses over the ukraine conflict before the country has stuck. having to introduce rolling blackouts this winter like neighboring switzerland has already proposed. these pressure tactics are like kids taking cash from their parents while threatening to tell all their neighbors how badly they're being treated at home. in case russian president vladimir putin hasn't noticed and keep hoping that he does the e is clearly united. just one big dysfunctional family ah 50 holocaust on palestinian stats. the claim made by the palestinian president, which outraged politicians and israel and germany could think about a shot in if we want to dig further into the past, we find that 50 massacres have been perpetrated by israel. the 50 massacres are 50 holocausts ward zullie, documented at present people have been killed daily by these rail. y'all, me, i'm deeply outraged by the unspeakable statements by the palestinian president for aust, germans in particular. and a relative organization of the holy ghost is intolerable and unacceptable. the remarks came as mahmoud abbas visited berlin with germany's chancellor, criticized by television media for not responding immediately, is israel's prime minister. yes, lap is called the comments, a quote, disgrace office is office, clarified that his statement and did not intend to quote, deny the singularity of the holocaust. my colleague, nicky aaron discussed the issue with a director at israel, simon, we than fall center and a board member at the africa for palestine human rights organization. i think it's absolutely acceptable for palestinians to use all sorts of examples that are needed for the world to get them to give them the attention they deserve. the life of one person is the life of one person and thousands and thousands of interest in them being killed. that this very moment, what kind of thousands of dollars things are being killed today. that shift fiction . that's a lie. and of course about things are very good at lying, same ways if they use post imagery, talking about the worst case of genocide and human history later. if we know president bass walked back on his own controversial statement saying that his remarks were not meant to deny the holocaust. what do you make of that follow up? do you do them? do you view them as an independent decision or do you think it was a response to the outrage? he got from germany and israel? i, i think him reversing just indicates how and revoltingly unjust and unequal society is your noisy speak. on the other side, them from germany or israel was somewhere is, is that the gate in that the life of the seniors don't matter is ready media plane . the rocket fired by the palestinian islamic jihad group killed more civilians in gauze or itself than the israeli here, as strikes did in the recent flare up. what's your reaction to those reports? letting those reports of propaganda never any been disproven by nearly credible goods. thinks that it's very important for the world to understand that peace and the abuse of palestinian people under oppression is not the ideal scenario. i think the palestinians have a right to resist the islamic jihad and come us openly speak of destroying the state of israel. so whatever truce or whatever piece has been achieved in the meantime is unlikely to home. the problem is that no one holds the palestinians to any accounting, the moral values that the western world believes in, not being observed by the palestinians, but no one hold them accountable. and they have again and again refused to make peace again, again, refused the office to have a palestinian state. israel has very, very few deaths and it's very, very clear that one country is of pressing and destroying another. the world is really guilty of hypocrisy by supporting crane unfailing the people of palestine. and that's our up on the hour's top news stories from around the globe. thanks for
