the eclipse to stick with the charter's democracy is providing to be amazing. the resilience about talk he does not fulfill the basic principles of a democratic collection specialist. well, despite the presidential polls being back in that europe has doubts over the freedom of turkey as the elections. while western media links are the ones possible victory with the defeat of democracy. dependent on reportedly turns a blind eye to the war crimes record of a torn prompts, the fighters violation of us law according to nearly release documents. also ahead to the discovery the water world, the basic other water world. let's go down. our teeth dives into the beauty of iran,

fish island, known as the pearl of the persian gulf, as it prepares to be added to your nest, those heritage led past the follow ignores, i am affording selling around 40000000 us dollars worth of gold back digital tokens that says that the country seeks to reduce the dollar solomon in mid hyperinflation and following national currency. the good morning from the russian capital. this is our to international with the latest world news updates. i'm here, elizabeth, it's great to have you with us. we start with trick here where the nation is set to decide on the presidency in a run off. so after neither the top candidates pass, the crucial 50 percent threshold to win in the 1st round. on sunday of

the western reaction to the turkish election was not long coming with washington saying it's continuing to closely monitor the ongoing electoral process. and the european commission president, noting the huge turn out, showed that turkish people are committed to exercising democratic rights. yet the council of europe's assessment of turkish democracy was rather confusing. so i would say the tucker's democracy is providing to be amazingly resilient the shows the high turn out in the election. but turkey does not fulfill the basic principles of a democratic election. such was, well, western media went further with his headlines definitively linking president ergo vaughan with a wrist of turkish democracy that says the country's opposition promises to take

a course, tore wider integration with europe. are taken tribute or rachel mars and shares our take on how the you plays it's membership cards to influence other states policies and wired one is portrayed as an obstacle to turkish democracy. so once again, the e u is dangling block membership in front of yes, another candidate country turkey kind of like an engagement ring and they're doing it right in the heat of an election. and the opposition candidate is talking like it's only voters which use him over incumbent president, raise up here to one center if he could finally live happily ever after in the arms of brussels. our main goal is membership in the european union. of course, we want to be part of the civilized world. we are ready to rapidly transform turkey 8 into a true democracy that our citizens deserve, as well as to carry out the democratic reforms required by the

e look session process. hey, look, there's nothing wrong with self improvement when it's done for yourself. but the opposition is talking like it's ready to give the country a facelift, a butler, so new to use and maybe upsize to double these just so that brussels finds it more attractive. now, why would be opposition be under that impression more because the you keep saying. so the decisions would go to is hoping in the country to democracy and the rule of flaw, something who has been the origin for a long time. then we should start talking, who can start talking about to liberalize ation of the visa res, seem yeah baby, just do it. i asked, and then we can talk about taking this relationship to the next level, like a liberal visa regime, or you can kind of go freely at my place and even leave your toothbrush there without it being kind of weird sounds a lot like the kind of promises matrix you have under the european union, ukraine association agreement that set off the euro. my dog protest in 2013 when ben ukraine president and your new convicts refused to sign it. quick reminder of

what was behind those popping off ukrainians in australia now demonstrating. now in ukraine, they may not be in your opinion, and they are, they are certainly part of the broad political family of european nations. all right, so and kara has, i see your example in front of its eyes, of the kind of blueprint that exists with respect to the you and it's modus operandi. and kind of makes you wonder why hasn't it just block brussels number yet . it's beyond be frankly, turkey and nato ally applied to the use freed assessor the european economic community in 1987 and was recognized as a candidate in 1999 and still isn't a member that's a long time to wait around for commitment yet. turkey is also allow nato and you countries to establish military bases inside its territory for western wars in the middle east and in africa. it's also saved you from being overwhelmed by migrates,

displaced by western military interventions in africa by holding them in camps on the you turkey border. now apparently that's still not enough for brussels. when asked last year about a power as prospect in joining the block between ursula, vendor line, european commission president said quote, there is no progress. b, u has cited turkeys, human rights record to justify its foot dragging and relationships with its neighbors. meanwhile, the cause you trade with the exact same flaws, problems with its neighbors and issues with human rights, the great defender of european values. and we still come with president for a while and realize that waiting around for commitment is a full game. to get does not need europe, but europe is in real need. the prescription for their increasingly chronic problems is to care to kids full membership. we're not and will not be anyone's placing. we're not and will not be a servant to be treated according to someone's when those who think that they can

and slave to care with threats are ignorant of their own history. those who think that they will bring us to our needs with sanctions, will soon realize that they are deeply mistaken. brussels uses the same pickup lines on all the countries that supporting, although the georgia serbia and they're all still waiting around to be invited to make it official, be checked on the hook with promises even though the gold posts are constantly being moved further out. early one seems to understand the process of selling the fantasy, that if the country gives up its independence, then brussels will take care of it some day. maybe pay a country to dream, right? it can do little little hearts with their names in their notebook, right. and in the best case scenario, the you wants to dictate how the country behaves, and which of its friends it can still hang out with. and certainly not that russia one that's for sure it sounds so tac 6 that it's no wonder the early one figures that turkey would be better off steam single and independent acting

chairman of the center for strategic studies at the turkish ministry of foreign affairs id nor had says that western countries are clearly interested in are the one losing the elections. had nato countries on monday to late teen turkish elections. they want to topple out on it starts to look at the german, french, american, english, the magazines and newspapers, the economist, etc. that full when i guess add on and of course as of monday to lation at this information, etc, that what they are doing, the top of that on, they say rush, i use money to and i think i can do things on avalon space. this is opposite exactly the opposite that we did not see any russian mingling in that case

election. but we saw a lot of naming intake issue lecture, and that's why a lot of people voted for ad on because of this western manipulation we will keep you updated on all the developments and the turkish presidential election. stay tune here on our to international the now to the war and ukraine. russia's ambassador to the un says that no one has been held accountable for cabs attacks on civilians and dumbass. this is age of the responsibility for these crimes sliced, not only with the key for gene, but also with those who supply them with weapons. all these weapons supplied by

members of the un security council. now sitting up a site me seemingly so concerned about the humanitarian consequences of the conflict in ukraine are killing civilians, women and children on a daily basis. the inside, middle to potential of need is aimed of this. they believe they've gone away with given millions of civilians who have gattis, then iraq, libya, and other places. we assure that one day they will be held accountable for what they have done, and no threats of sanctions against judges. as was the case with the us war crimes investigation against, then intimidation of witnesses and whistle blowers and suppression of fact will help them. the flow of western arm supplies to crane comes amid stark revelations and newly released stock you meant by the new york times, showing that the us ignored the war crimes record of its for and proxy troops around the world. which is in fact, a violation of american laws. the files reveal that the us special operations program involves the training and arming of foreign fighters for use until or

capture emissions that american forces don't want to carry out themselves. the provision of supports is not contingent upon successful human rights, but any requirements as defined to the leaky law. l. a. c. law prohibits the provision of u. s. military a to human rights violators abroad. the pedagogues the classified directive appears to be a loophole that allows a direct violation of that law, or to correspond to tell them up and takes a deeper look at the pentagon's relationship with its unsavory allies. if you're providing someone with military training and weapons, don't you have a responsibility to make sure the person is not a criminal to use them to go and commit new crimes? you would think so, but apparently the pentagon does not agree. indeed, why worry about such details as long as it serves american interest in far away? lance seems that for the pentagon, the ends justify the means,

even if it means violating u. s. law that for its military aid to human rights violators abroad, the us track record for such on account ability and impunity goes back decades. here's just a few examples. the infamous and dirty brigades of militias, the united states, trained in order to fight. i still, in a rock, have been accused of torturing detainees and other atrocities. united nations found us backed forces in the democratic republic of the congo were involved in mass rates and torture of civilians. back in 1981 up to a 1000. civilians were slaughtered by us backed forces in el salvador. the famous elm is ot massacre. human rights watch has revealed the results of the us occupation of afghanistan, and shone crimes that were committed by forces drained and backed by the united states. there, the strike forces have been lawfully killed civilians,

your nitrates forcibly disappeared detainees undetected healthcare facilities for allegedly treated in storage and fighters. civilian casualties from these rates and air operations have dramatically increased in the last 2 years. the us armed and trained ukrainian military is just the latest example. they have been caught summarily executing prisoners of war videos sho, outright war crimes. russia has many times highlighted these documented atrocities of the united nations. however, the usa and his allies have turned a blind eye visits and me the idea of the student of an estimate of the recent report by amnesty international and organization that can hardly be classified as pro russian states. we have been talking about at every meeting on the green since the very beginning of a special military operation. the on forces of ukraine and you create in national

is battalions are hiding behind a civilian population as a human shield. and also use residential houses and apartments in them as floating boys place heavy equipment in a tillery near the hospitals. schools and keen the gardens keeps the last card launch for any crimes. instead of holding a spade a spade, you demonstrate button double standards and miracles office thoughtfulness. so as not to gas, the shadow of responsibility on key if who's gill for the shelling is obvious, this shows your responsibility for the brain conflict. started the united states at at least question its relationship with infamous groups. like the, as off the talent known for its neo nazi audiology. what is the relationship of the us government to these people? is it training them? my did arm them? is this one of those cases where we aid and abet the kind of monsters who eventually become our enemies. but they have admitted there is no real way to stop

or even control these evil practices. here's another example. the tornado battalion was pretty well known for its atrocities. some of its members even got in prison when the crimes they committed became well publicized. but after russia's military operations started, these dangerous radicals were released in order to join ukraine's armed forces along the record of washington. supporting forces around the world, the do horrendous things, despite existing us laws that mandate otherwise explains why the pentagon doesn't feel obligated to do any of that thing. when you are training people like this, it probably feels better not to know what they did yesterday. and what you might be helping them to do tomorrow. caleb and archie, new york. earlier, my colleague, nicky aaron spoke with an investigative journalist but norton, who says the us and its allies use such as prophecies to do their dirty work for them. unfortunately,

it's not surprising. we've known that the us military has moved more and more toward using special operations forces abroad. it's a wage what is often referred to as shadow wars. when the us military has forces on the ground, then it inspires criticism. you know, when the us military invaded iraq and violation of international law, everyone around the world could see that this was a blatant war of aggression. that over a 1000000 e rockies died. it's, well we, we respect to the sovereignty of other countries. well, actually the us is violating the sovereignty of other countries, but instead it's using foreign proxies in order to maintain this idea of plausible deniability. so if those more and proxies are ever caught and arrested and interrogated, the us can say, well, we don't have anything to do with them. we have no idea of who they are now, you're currently in nicaragua, what? another pro american group, the conference was accused of a number of atrocities committed by us spots dest squads. how much accountability

has that been in those cases and, and doesn't look like the u. s. has done anything to provide transparency and closure for locals affected as well. of course absolutely nothing it comes. there's no surprise to to hear that in the 1980s, the ca, back these extremely right wing violent paramilitary groups. the conferences that were notorious for killing and torturing civilians burning down schools and hospitals. and there has been no justice, in fact, there are multiple us government institutions that are active around the world training proxy forces in order to fight secretive wars in the shadows to destabilize foreign countries. heavy rainfall causing devastation in somalia is also wreaking havoc and lowanda where the mountainous terrain is prone to land slides. in the rainy season, thousands of families had been forced to relocate to escape rising waters. a somali,

a mazda of heavy rainfall has led to flooding, causing damage, sit towns and villages. while health care workers are warning of a possible rise in diseases such as cholera, the flooding comes after months of route that killed tens of thousands of people in wiped out props and live saw hopeful residents fear the floods could force many families into destitution. the whole city submitted is divided. fluids. schools are all shut down. no learning taking place and businesses have been close to as business has come to a stance to also show amenities have been effected, nothing is working because the whole town is submerged in war to sort that out and i know 5 of them. but as i said from brother to him, because of the slots i haven't received any help so far, i'm a single mother and i have nothing to feed my children with. i don't have

a house food, a water i or too many terran agencies to come to risk and provide us with food medicines and shelton. welcome. i fled from the la dwayne because of the floods. i have not received any help so far and i'm a single mother who has nothing to feed her children. i don't have a house or food or water and i urgently ask humanitarian agencies to come to our rescue. so but i took a wrong kish island known as the pearl of the persian gulf, is preparing to get its ancient town added to the unesco list. the island is well known as a thriving resort, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe every year, despite the western sanctions imposed on each on our cheese used of july, li has more the polio on the persian gulf. that's how kish island is south of iran . is usually referred to. this metonymy is manifested in the islands funding attractions, including dismiss, rising co, beatrice and his f. one guard recreational centers. now kish result organization

no, yes, fly boarding. and at the same time, you can watch the mesmerizing and glowing persian, gulf water, or screwdriver, or just covering the off the water where all the basic let's go down our to cameraman. i mean here and i took a leaf in the dark and drove into the depths of persian gulf waters whether gopro camera to catch a glimpse of the world of sea creatures. one quick advice to a gentleman, junkies like me, never miss out on keesha's wind tunnel. it gives you the feeling of free of time sky diving. i tried it myself and i was virtually flying. george was come all the way from old area. had the same feeling, this is actually the indoor flying, sky diving. so it seemed like sky diving in

a closed environment. so it's control environment. you can actually learn to fly safely. the most safely way. let's say it's and you can achieve your dream of flying or learn to fly, learn to be a sky dive or as well in the wrong season. peace is a scorching caught. what's the occasional bar? the temperature is always below 0, providing a chance for visitors to pull down at the same time, enjoy its range of snow activity. those who come here can snowboard, go snow tubing, walk on the suspension bridge, and go in swings and use other facilities. there's also an ice wall for professional ice climbing, an average of one, and they're wanting for us visit the island each year. well, despite this abundant potential, the number of forum visitors is not remarkable case results for this figure of less than 50000 annually. there was some sections on they were on our side by experts as another major challenge,

which i'm scared for and visitors away from cage. how about shit, the political propaganda and the legal sanctions, targets and all accounts. we have unfortunately, homes, all tourism tech to them on all the sectors. this issue has created this trust by ford taurus regarding the safety of tourism. you know, account street. this is while all countries i'm on the safest places in terms of tourism. authorities at cage freeze on say they have put in place a visa waiver for, for a tourist was to read the travel permits issued upon arrival was the boy and turkey being serious, regional for us to trifles. fish islands can still win the game. as experts say it's nature. and coral coasts are on rival officials are now forced to invest more and its infrastructure for the goal of turning the islands from local to original tourist magnets usability. our to fish island zimbabwe central bank has sold around $40000000.00 us dollars worth of gold back

digital tokens that's despite the am a warning the african country against doing so. and urging it to liberalize the national foreign exchange market. here's i was involved was bank chief, explain the move the issue and so the gold back digital tokens is meant to expand the value preserving instruments available in the economy. it's a goal. that token is a digital currency that is backed by physical gold. the currency is value is based on the current market price of gold that can be used for transactions. just like any other type of crypto currency. it is often more stable than other digital currencies and can also be used as a hedge against inflation. if the price of gold rises, the value of the currency will also increase. gold back tokens can be bought and sold on exchanges, just like other types of crypto currency. as can also be used to purchase goods and services online. the buyer has been suffering from massive inflation for years,

which previously led to the national currency being swapped for the us dollar. while the recently reintroduce and buy $1.00 remains on stable and pressed by other foreign currencies. the government has resorted to using new crypto assets following the examples of donna and nigeria in south africa. zimbabwe wants to reduce the american dollars monopoly in the country, also facing us sanctions over a legit human rights abuses. zombie and journalists, austin collude, but says the us sanctions against them by way are unjustified as washington contributes to economic was across the whole region. this is going to hit the u. s. by the races for $1.00 fee. the u. s. has never been to any good you can solve it,

going be just by the code on me mean. so they are also part of a part of the pro bit i say so because of the absence they have 14 or the ability for this one. all sorts of things involved with, despite the resume, being an office, it is a clear example that the, they would love the sensors to go i, his is supposed to do with about recovery is by the government. and specifically by the governors. but because this was this one on the sense of the ends and bob, we have really staying this as a big the key, you know, before muscle. most of it, i think on the countries i'm, this is very psyched the does have the very negative effect on all the countries in south africa. and that's are up on the our, for all the latest breaking news had over to

comedy is meant to make you laugh. and in this politically correct world, we're living in being a comedian and requires as much grace as a ballerina in a mine field. i'm sky now. here's it on this edition of 360 view. we're going to look at the present world of comedy and how many comedians are finding their cancellation. no joking matter. let's get started. the poking fun or pushing boundaries, ad sensitive topics, is nothing new in the world of comedy and fact leading all the way back to the jokers and gestures in the royal court. there has been a fine line between what could be said, which pleases the king and his audience. what could have you order to a jail cell, craven worse to the guillotine? well, not much has changed except for technology, the audience because it can limit less and the chopping block has become symbolic.

yep. adjustment is for your career as the comedian is just as much a possibility for those who have been the wrong crowd at the right time. almost every modern day comedian, at some point, has taken heat for one of their routines. some have used it to gain popularity, others have found themselves permanently cancelled, and this is not just happening to comedians from the west. as a rise of comedy in india has found several of their most known comedians under fire for taking political swipes at authorities. political humor is not always taken lightly in countries like india, where religious standards are still highly respected, as well as pride for india is expected even in performances outside the country. and china, many aspects of art and culture must be submitted to review by government officials, including comedy scripts, the industry association actually released a $94.00 point list of rules for online platforms which include prohibition against
