00:00:18Here of are the headlines on RT International: as Donald Trump announces, there's an
00:00:22energy cease fire between Moscow and Keyev just day
00:00:26after saying Ukraine
00:00:27of needs a new leader, while Russia has yet to comment, Zelensky is called by
00:00:31surprise, saying Kiev will agree if Moscow does
00:00:35of the same. The Houties claim
00:00:38responsibility
00:00:39for series of operations against Saudi Arabia, confirming to RT,
00:00:43of it was behind Saturday's attack on Riyad's main airport, which
00:00:47killed 12 and wounded
00:00:49of over 300. These attacks are
00:00:53of Yemeny attacks. We do not do this out of revenge or to take vengeance,
00:00:57but rather to force the Saudi leadership to accept a comprehensive. and permanent peace
00:01:01by agreeing to end
00:01:02the
00:01:08of war and new delhi is hit by wave of protests for the
00:01:12second day
00:01:12in a row over alleged electoral fraud,
00:01:16a claim that the Indian government
00:01:17denies.
00:01:27All right, at moments after 1 am on Monday here in Moscow. your top stories are
00:01:30primed and ready to roll live on RT international. so
00:01:34of Ukrainian media is claiming that heating and power plant in Hardikov has been hit
00:01:39of in a strike, they are pointing the fingers squarely at Russia, and no
00:01:43comment yet from Moscow, but the Ukrainian reports come just hours after
00:01:46Trump claimed the warring sides had both agreed to immediate
00:01:50halt to attacks on each other's energy
00:01:52infrastructure.
00:01:56effective immediately, there is an energy sacefire in the... between
00:02:00Russia and Ukraine, both parties have agreed, do not
00:02:04break it. Well, this is the second time in the span of
00:02:07months
00:02:08of that Donald Trump has declared surprisingly to the entire
00:02:12world that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an
00:02:15energy for last time Zelensky came out very quickly and
00:02:19said there's no such deal in place,
00:02:23this time Zelensky has also come out and said that this is the
00:02:27first
00:02:27of time he's heard of it that if
00:02:30of "Russia and the United States had agreed to an energy sees fire
00:02:34that, please inform Ukraine, and Ukraine would be
00:02:38willing to join in, which is in star contrast to what
00:02:41Zolensky said previously, the last time Trump had
00:02:45declared an energy cease fire between Russia and
00:02:49Ukraine, Zelensky came out with all manner of
00:02:52conditions uh now under tremendous
00:02:56pressure with Trump himself coming out."
00:03:00you - as well as American
00:03:02of senators supporting Trump, congress people coming out and
00:03:06saying that you know what, perhaps it's time for
00:03:10Zelensky to go. should have never started, you wouldn't have lost
00:03:1330% of your country already, you've lost 30% of your
00:03:17country
00:03:18in and you've had over
00:03:20of million of people killed, but he could have settled it many times and he chose not
00:03:24to. that's a war that should have never started, and I think it's time for
00:03:28Ukraine to get new president.
00:03:31of Donald Trump uh referring there of course to
00:03:34the multitude of peace
00:03:37of deals that Russia had put forward, that the United States had
00:03:41approved the deal made between the United States
00:03:44and Russia in Anchorage in Alaska during the
00:03:48meeting between Putin and
00:03:50of Trump, they agreed
00:03:51in a framework there, Ukraine rejected it, time and time
00:03:54again for
00:03:55of years, Ukraine has either rejected or demanded
00:03:58of conditions, but Russia. wouldn't accept and here Donald Trump coming
00:04:02outright to the public to cameras saying
00:04:06these person is incapable of making a deal,
00:04:09perhaps another should come in, they should hold
00:04:13elections. Zelensky previously had dismissed any
00:04:16notion of elections, his arguments had been that
00:04:20simply too many people
00:04:21have left Ukraine, then Zelensky complain that simply too many
00:04:25people now live as Russian citizens in Zaparoji region
00:04:29have... region, the
00:04:32donbas, and elections, he said are simply
00:04:35impossible,
00:04:37of never mind, that russia staged
00:04:39of elections in
00:04:41in september, now the tune has changed, now he's demanding
00:04:45a c fire, 60
00:04:47in days to
00:04:48of hold elections in Ukraine, please tell Putin, give
00:04:52us two months, 60 days
00:04:55of of total cease fire, 60 days and we will organize
00:04:59a of course we will be ready for
00:05:03any choice of our people exactly
00:05:06how
00:05:10of quickly changed his mind on election? now that Donald Trump,
00:05:14again senior united states official, even
00:05:17even musk piled on saying that perhaps it is time for
00:05:21Zelensky to move on, for someone new to
00:05:25come in, nevertheless this is all
00:05:27you know in star contrast to Zelensky before, now he's what
00:05:31can only be described this panic mode, you've you've had reports,
00:05:35endless reports of him calling European
00:05:38officials seeking their support.
00:05:42both the spat with the United States regarding elections, but
00:05:46also America's insistence a halt to
00:05:49strikes on Russian oil refineries, and that is what it, what is at
00:05:53the root
00:05:54of this? Previously, when Donald Trump very publicly came out and
00:05:57said, "Ukraine must stop these strikes, Russia, of course,
00:06:01before this conflict, supplying 20, more than
00:06:0420% the world's uh
00:06:07global gas supplies and that of course is
00:06:11shortage caused." by Ukrainian strikes, it hurts everyone, it
00:06:15is felt by everyone, but no one quite
00:06:19like the United States, where elections depend
00:06:23on the price of uh gas, of petrol, of
00:06:26diesel at the pump, and the United States and Russia have made
00:06:30it deal whereby Putin has agreed to supply the United
00:06:34States with diesel fuel again, which is
00:06:38manufactured or made at Russian refineries
00:06:42which are...
00:06:42Zelensky came
00:06:43out
00:06:50and said no, we're going to burn all of,
00:06:54which led to Donald Trump of course coming out and saying,
00:06:58perhaps it's time for Zelensky to go, star
00:07:01contrast to what Zelenski said
00:07:04previously, why are they blaming
00:07:08you for the continuation of this war, because
00:07:13"these people can't find a key
00:07:17how to stop Putin,
00:07:20because it's more
00:07:23difficult to stop Putin than to pressure
00:07:27others, because it's more
00:07:31simple to speak about the prices and connect
00:07:34it with Ukraine, but it's obvious
00:07:38Russia doesn't depend on the good will." the
00:07:42congress the United States or any European
00:07:45leader, Russia manufactures, it has its own
00:07:49economy, it has its own sovereign decision making
00:07:52process, Ukraine on the other hand, entirely
00:07:56dependent on the United States, nevertheless we have
00:08:00see you happening in real time a
00:08:03change in Zelensky's domina from eternal
00:08:07war to much more flexible approach
00:08:10where again he is is trying to
00:08:14appease Donald Trump, and while Donald Trump is
00:08:18trying to broker an energy peace deal between Moscow and Kiev, the
00:08:22Kremlin says Zelensky appears to have no intention of resolving the
00:08:26conflict
00:08:26peacefully.
00:08:30Zelensky is a state of hysteria. If he were capable of deliberate
00:08:33rational action, he would be showing inclination toward peace negotiations
00:08:37right now, but he isn't. Instead, he demands more
00:08:40capabilities, more
00:08:42money in. structure access and the green light to strike deep into Russian territory from
00:08:46all his overseas. He demands funds for air defense,
00:08:49long-range weaponry and so on. In short, his Assyria drives
00:08:53him to favor aggression against Russia, aggression he believes will be
00:08:57effective. This is a mistake, a tragic mistake for
00:09:00Ukraine. Well, earlier we spoke with a former US Marine
00:09:04Core Intelligence officer Scott Ritter. A Scott says time is long
00:09:07past for Zelensky to be making any demands. Scott also says Zelensky is
00:09:11not in. position to dictate any rules.
00:09:15Vlodimir Zelinski, I mean it's it's difficult to call him president, even though he claims
00:09:19that title is, it's been pointed out,
00:09:22his mandate expired a while back and he
00:09:25um, hasn't held a new election, but uh,
00:09:28Zelensky is in the position to dictate terms to nobody.
00:09:32He's losing the war on the battlefield, he's losing the war
00:09:36economically, he's losing the war uh politically,
00:09:40both at home and abroad um. the the bottom line is
00:09:44that President Trump is absolutely correct here, that uh, it's time for
00:09:48Zelensky to go, the question is uh, who
00:09:51will replace him and will this alter the uh,
00:09:55the the the reality that currently has uh settled in over
00:09:59Ukraine, Ukraine is defeated state, the uh experiment that
00:10:03Europe and the United States foisted on Ukraine uh and beginning
00:10:06this conflict um by empowering western Ukrainian
00:10:10nationalists, this experiment has failed. and unless you
00:10:14replaceinsky with somebody who recognizes the failure of
00:10:18this experiment and acts accordingly, you're just going to get
00:10:21a continuation the same. Washington's. rather
00:10:25sudden actions in Moscow's favor have certainly caught Europe off
00:10:29guard, while Trump has been cutting energy deals with Putin and lifting
00:10:33sanctions on Russian diesel, it's rather different in Brussels, which will vote
00:10:37in 24 hours on whether or not to impose its quote largest
00:10:41ever package of sanctions on
00:10:43Russia. Suspending
00:10:47sanctions on Russian diesel provides Mosco with more revenues to wage war. This
00:10:51is not the time ease pressure on Russia and Europe won't. On Monday.
00:10:55EU foreign ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings targeting Russia's
00:10:59war machines since the start the war. And as the EU
00:11:02is essentially committed to ruining its economies just to spite
00:11:06Vladimir Putin, Washington has injected dose of reality,
00:11:10calling European states hypocrites for slamming Trump's
00:11:14diesel deal, while at the same time very quietly still
00:11:18buying levels of Russian
00:11:19energy. The
00:11:22Europeans have given the Russian. more money
00:11:26they since the start
00:11:27of this war then they have given the Ukrainians because they cannot win themselves
00:11:31off Russian energy, they had a failed
00:11:35energy policy and Vladimir Putin they
00:11:38they continue to fund him, so for them to
00:11:42say that we cannot have a respit in diesel
00:11:46pricing is completely hypocritical, well
00:11:49a former advisor to Ukraine's prosecutor
00:11:51general believes Zelensky was being... used as
00:11:55a puppet to undermine Trump ahead of next month's midterm
00:11:59elections in America, every time since the last
00:12:03two years Zelansky was trying to sabotage Trump and have
00:12:06him be more weaken weakening his position with the peace deals
00:12:10especially trying to make him look like a fool with the or hitting the oil
00:12:14refineries trying to make Trump look like a fool on the situation he is not in
00:12:18control, but the problem is it's not just Zelansk, the people around
00:12:22or Donald Trump who are also pushing such narratives. the deep state
00:12:25actors, Brussels, London are working to
00:12:29Berlin
00:12:29and Paris, they're the ones who are giving Zelinsky the power to move forward
00:12:33on this, and that is the the biggest issue. Today,
00:12:37thank god, Washington came to its mind, and they understand
00:12:41they can play this show, this puppet for their midterm elections.
00:12:45Zelanski was playing them, now they're gonna play him, and I also talked
00:12:49about this in your studio a couple of weeks ago that Zelensky
00:12:53will be used to replace...
00:12:55the the situation currently we used to play Zelansky maybe during the midterms, what is
00:12:59going to be suitable for the president of United States
00:13:03to use Ukraine and its show how Ukraine was using them
00:13:07and again in their show, so this is this is what's really come to
00:13:11Ukraine is is just puppet in election
00:13:14processes, which hopefully in this situation
00:13:18would come to such a good that there will be a change of government, not
00:13:22just words from President Trump, and there will be actual... peace
00:13:25afterwards because the rhetoric and the
00:13:29lack of uh professionalism from the leadership
00:13:33within Europe, we're seeing the changes in Europe happening right
00:13:37now with especially the opposition parties in
00:13:40Germany, which
00:13:43are now getting the majority the support the population,
00:13:47France is heating up pretty badly, Spain
00:13:51and uh maybe next is going to be the UK itself, we're going to have.
00:13:55also some sense come from
00:13:58the from the people down under to the government, so it's
00:14:02changing, but it's not going to be changing fast enough for the things to
00:14:05cool down and
00:14:09basically back back up the situation for peace within
00:14:12Europe. Trump hopefully will continue his
00:14:15rhetoric and not budge for Europe's
00:14:19initiatives of supporting Zelensky, change the leadership in
00:14:23Ukraine together with the Russian Federation. agree upon neutral
00:14:26government and elections and not have europe take
00:14:30any part of this, as mark said a
00:14:34couple weeks ago, europe's position on negotiating
00:14:37table, it's not there, so this is this is the reality
00:14:41from washington, they don't see europe as somebody who they should be talking to
00:14:45the same as Russia, so this is the main goals here, what does Washington and
00:14:49Moscow think, not does what Brussel thinks, Russell is
00:14:52just the problem in this... situation, that's why
00:14:56it started the negotiating table as of
00:14:58now. two
00:15:01Saudi airports have come under attack this Sunday, a one them was struck for
00:15:05the third time a week with one inbound cruise missile
00:15:09intercepted and destroyed on approach to the facility, however
00:15:13one the terminals there did sustain a direct hit. the
00:15:16smoke was witnessed rising over king halid international airport after
00:15:20fire broke out in terminal four. Yemen's hoothi movement said
00:15:24it was behind. strikes is had to carried out four separate
00:15:28operations against Saudi Arabia with the airport targeted in three
00:15:31phases. The armed
00:15:35forces carried out four quality. operations in the past 24
00:15:39hours, using ballistic
00:15:40and cruise missiles and drones, that's in response
00:15:43to the brutal saudi aggression against our country and our people, which launched
00:15:47124 air strikes in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number
00:15:51of air strikes since the beginning the escalation against our country up to
00:15:542058, committing massacres against our people, the majority of
00:15:58whose victims are women and children. well, the hoothies had earlier warned
00:16:02anyone from using Saudi Arabia's airports or airspace,
00:16:06but the caution came day after. the group hit Riyad's airport leaving 12
00:16:09people dead at the scene. A 13th victim, an Indian
00:16:13national died later in hospital confirmed by the country's
00:16:16embassy. We'll bring in some fresh, fresh CCTV footage for you,
00:16:20showing the exact moment the explosion inside the passenger fill
00:16:23terminal. Moscow has condemned the violence, calling on both sides
00:16:27to abandon attacks on civilian infrastructure. Now
00:16:30authorities say over 300 people were wounded. The
00:16:34Saudi health minister has visited injured patients a local.
00:16:47Among the dead were four Saudi nationals, two Bangladeshies, one
00:16:51American citizen, one Egyptian, one Jordanian, one
00:16:55Syrian, and one Palestinian. May they all rest in peace, airport
00:16:59operations remain suspended for the time being as a precautionary
00:17:02measure to ensure the safety of facilities and the continuation of
00:17:06operational process. The recent statement also confirms that
00:17:10efforts are underway to assess the extent the material damages in
00:17:13coordination with authorities. Today's toll may represent the highest
00:17:17recorded from either hoothi or Iranian attacks during assaults on the kingdom of
00:17:21Saudi Arabia. I must also mention the attempt to maintain
00:17:24operations at King Fodd International Airport in Damasham, which is
00:17:28situated outside the city. We are currently managing the situation as
00:17:32there has also been an incident outside the airport area. This provides a
00:17:36summary of what is trans thus far and we are waiting further details
00:17:40regarding the injuries that are being treated. Furthermore, we have received
00:17:43information concerning the extent the damage to that airport. According to our
00:17:47sources, the areas impacted were terminal 3 and terminal 4.
00:17:51Terminal 3 is designated for domestic flights between cities and Saudi
00:17:55Arabia, while Terminal 4 accommodates certain international
00:17:58carriers.
00:18:03The group's actions were a direct response to aggression by the
00:18:07south. against civilian areas across
00:18:09Yemen. Yes,
00:18:13these attacks are Yemeny attacks. After 12 years of Saudi aggression,
00:18:17destroying Yemen infrastructure, whether airports, ports, even wedding and
00:18:21funeral halls as well as schools, hospitals and markets. It targeted
00:18:25everything in Yemen, and targeted and destroyed all infrastructure, and today
00:18:29it acknowledges that airports are civilian facilities that must not be
00:18:32targeted under international law, but we say that we deal with Saudi
00:18:36Arabia in kind, and our military operations deep inside the Saudi
00:18:40entity will continue and will not end except by destroying all Saudi
00:18:43infrastructure belonging to the government, whether military facilities, airports,
00:18:47or even ports and any vital facilities belonging to the Saudi regime.
00:18:51We do not do this out of revenge or to take vengeance, but rather to force the Saudi
00:18:55leadership to accept a comprehensive and permanent peace by agreeing to end the
00:18:59war and end the siege by both sides. The Saudi leadership can agree to
00:19:03achieve peace, and these are Yemen's demands. Well, this comes a...
00:19:07rapid escalation the conflict in Yemen, but the Hutis have released footage with
00:19:11which they say shows battles with Saudi back forces in the southwest the
00:19:15country. The video comes as Saudi Arabia and its regional partners
00:19:19plan to step up their military coordination on Monday, certainly
00:19:23raising concerns the conflict could either expand further or just draw
00:19:27even more countries. Earlier this week, Saudi
00:19:30led forces in Yemen already destroyed three the Houti's rocket launch
00:19:34platforms. The Saudi Air Force was said to have carried out
00:19:37124 air strikes in the last 24
00:19:40hours. Saudi political researcher Khalid batarfi
00:19:44says Washington has already been drawn into this
00:19:48conflict, the US is
00:19:51enforced already by providing intelligence
00:19:55and cooperate in many
00:19:57matters, security
00:20:00metters, also by providing what
00:20:03saudi forces needed of equipment and union.
00:20:08"what you are talking about is whether the United States
00:20:12will help in attacking
00:20:16this sources of fire
00:20:20and whether they will support directly the Yemani
00:20:24government uh well that's a matter to be considered
00:20:27and according to Trump he didn't decide it yet uh
00:20:31but a country as fast as Saudi
00:20:33Arabia so many cities so many..."
00:20:37oil installation, so many ports, we have 28 airports in
00:20:41Saudi Arabia, so protecting this
00:20:44much land and this much -
00:20:48facilities will require... lots of
00:20:51investment, lots of work, and I believe they are working on
00:20:55this, the other side is getting
00:20:59improved abilities like the new
00:21:03missiles they are using against Saudi Arabia, they
00:21:07have all the the fingerprints of
00:21:10Iran on on that, and they have also
00:21:14Iranian expert and Lebanese and
00:21:18others helping them to do that. so let us wait and
00:21:22see, but I expect Saudi Arabia to improve its
00:21:25facility as well to respond to all this new
00:21:28development. Well, another Middle East
00:21:32conflict, which the US is fully involved in, of course, as its war on
00:21:36Iran, and as both sides vy for control the strate of
00:21:39horamus, the IRGC says a third oil tanker has been hit,
00:21:43hit a mine in the waterway, now Iran has repeatedly warned that
00:21:47any vessels passing through the straight with their... ation and id systems
00:21:51switched off will be considered hostilean insis
00:21:55it has full control the strategic
00:21:59waterway.
00:22:03suffered major defeat in the 12-day war
00:22:06the enemy and then again in the 40-day war. they resorted to naval
00:22:09blockade but that led them nowhere and recently they launched economic
00:22:13isolation plan. they face defeat in almost every single
00:22:17campaign they launched. the straight is under the control of... Iran and we are
00:22:20managing it, well Iran is warning that if the US
00:22:24resumes the war, Iran will expand its list of targets to include
00:22:28data centers and other strategic assets in the UAE.
00:22:32Washington meantime says it sanctions on Tehran are
00:22:35working, the US treasury secretary claims Iran is financially
00:22:39ruined, it can't even pay its armed forces
00:22:42anymore, and I don't what the
00:22:46I don't what uh crying uncle is in farcy, but going to be
00:22:50crying, uncle uh, they they are collapsing,
00:22:54they can't pay their soldiers. well,
00:22:56the latest episode of new order here and rt, a former us national security
00:23:00advisor John Bolton claims the west could readily
00:23:03neutralize Iranian control over the straight of horamus. Bolton
00:23:07in the hot seat this time is he's challenged on that and whether or not US
00:23:11sanctions are working at all, or have they just
00:23:14backfired? what do you think the fact
00:23:18that no one really cares anymore? about the threat of us
00:23:21sanctions, um, I actually don't know what you response
00:23:25was to uh, the lance at publication that US
00:23:29sanctions have killed 38 million people, between
00:23:331971 and 2021 is the estimate in the esteemed
00:23:36British medical journal the launset, no one cares about the sanctions
00:23:40anymore, the US can threaten India all it likes, it will continue
00:23:44trading with Russia, well it depends on the sanctions, it
00:23:48depends on how they're being in forced. and and what effect
00:23:52it has on the targets? i think in the case of Iran
00:23:56right now, the blockade on oil exports
00:24:00and any imports into Iran is having a very significant effect. I
00:24:03think the government is ever ever more
00:24:07susceptible to being overthrown from within, the economy, which is
00:24:11already in bad shape, is in worse shape, so these are the kinds of
00:24:14sanctions that are actually enforced that
00:24:17really. don't sanctions have proven
00:24:21time and time again not to work, we're talking about a country with the
00:24:24largest uh, i don't biggest car manufacturer in this
00:24:28region from where i'm speaking to you, and journalists who've been there
00:24:32recently tell me that those who oppose their government now
00:24:36support their government, you do understand the rally around the flag effect
00:24:40the illegal bombing,
00:24:41i don't think that's the effect - i
00:24:43don't i don't think that's the effect it's having inside around, and by the way, speaking of sanctions, i
00:24:47think the government the UAE has done exactly the right thing
00:24:51by saying that they will
00:24:52not allow uh Iran to to trade
00:24:56or or launder their finances through UAE financial
00:25:00institutions, I think that's going to have and is having a significant
00:25:03negative impact on the regime's ability to stay a float
00:25:07financially, and yet the UAE and Iran were in the same
00:25:11table of course in Delhi signing that declaration and back
00:25:15to those sanctions on Russia, which shows about what significance it's going
00:25:19to have, reminds me of my days back in the United Nations when the General
00:25:23Assembly routinely passed resolutions that went from the floor
00:25:27the General Assembly right into a file never to be reviewed
00:25:30again.
00:25:35And so for second day a row. New Delhi has been
00:25:39hit with protests over alleged electoral fraud. Now the
00:25:43government rejects the claim, insisting that India's economic growth and the prime
00:25:47minister's popularity are the keys
00:25:49to the reasons. successes at the ballot box india
00:25:52correspondent reports now
00:25:56thousands of protesters have been detained by the Delhi Police and
00:26:00commandos and forces from other forces as well
00:26:04which includes CRPF, Raf, SSB, BSF
00:26:07etc. now these protesters were detained because they were year out on the
00:26:11streets of New Delhi and central Delhi protesting
00:26:15against Janesh Kumar who is the chief election
00:26:18commissioner of India and they are demanding his resignation
00:26:22along with other demands like scrapping of SIR voter
00:26:26list because over 130 million people were left
00:26:29out the voter list now remember these tests were led by the
00:26:33Cookroat Janta party that is the CJP, however the main
00:26:37members and the founder of this party was detained
00:26:41just yesterday as soon as they landed in Delhi for the protest,
00:26:45today as of now they have been released and they also held a press
00:26:49briefing where they have said and ensured everybody that all
00:26:53these protests would still continue till their
00:26:56demands are met, now remember all these areas of New Delhi
00:27:00and central Delhi are coming under the BNSS
00:27:03163 section which enforces the
00:27:07rule that more than four people cannot gather in one location
00:27:11and if done so then they would be detained hence lot of
00:27:15protesters, more than thousands of protesters have been detained
00:27:18in these two days. now the
00:27:22police have not seen any violence happening
00:27:26during these protests, however the police are
00:27:29taking extra care that these... tests do
00:27:33not go further, they are not allowing people to gather in one
00:27:36place, over 200 or 300 police
00:27:40march in the streets these lanes in central
00:27:44delhi and new delhi where they try to detain these
00:27:47protests and control the crowd movement. in
00:27:51fact we have also witnessed that there have been water
00:27:55cannons, vehicles, lot of police vans and buses
00:27:58to detain these protesters and also a lot of
00:28:02tier gas vehicles placed and stationed
00:28:06in some areas where these protests are going on. now
00:28:10all these protests were going to happen a designated place that's the jantar
00:28:14mantar here in Delhi, however the permission was denied for the
00:28:18protest to happen there, which is exactly why a lot of
00:28:21protesters, including student union members
00:28:25started protesting just near the areas of jantar
00:28:29mantar which is also this place called Knot place. now
00:28:33lot of protesters have already been detained but people are
00:28:37still coming in, in fact the important thing
00:28:41to note here is that people are still coming
00:28:45in, even though CJP has said that these protests would
00:28:48continue and tomorrow there is a chance that
00:28:52different political parties which are the opposition political parties
00:28:56might also carry forward with such
00:28:59protest and with the same demands,
00:29:02in fact Last week we also witnessed that India block
00:29:06which is the multiparty opposition block of
00:29:09India also held a series of protests back to back
00:29:13demanding the same
00:29:15things. All right RT
00:29:19India correspondent there with the final words on this live hour here on
00:29:23RT International. As we wrap up this hour's program do bear in mind all of our
00:29:26stories continue right now in real time at

00:30:42Hello and welcome to worlds apart. If you were asked to
00:30:46describe the United States relationship with other countries in three
00:30:50words, what would you choose? Constructive,
00:30:53strategic and stable, are almost certainly not near
00:30:57the top the list, and yet, according to...
