the, the thing is, it's a warning for a new 6 year term and power as president of russia determined to overcome another difficult milestone period. the consolidated will of millions of people is a colossal force evidence coming from the lead and we are sales will determine the weight of russia and only sales only for the sake of today's and future generations . israel confirmed taking the gods inside of the roof or crossing with egypt under its control. that softer benjamin netanyahu vowed to go on with the operation after rejecting a proposal these far with some of the chinese president continues his 1st diplomatic tour of europe in 5 years. and set off for serbia as those countries

march 25 years since nato's bombardment of the chinese embassy in former yugoslavia . the building behind me, of course, today serves as a chinese cultural center. but the 3 missiles that nato used to attack, the embassy did 23 chinese journalists, the live, and the rest and capital. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we start from the heart of moscow as bottom, if it has been sworn in for a new 6 year term on tuesday. at a kremlin ceremony, we are covering the event throughout the day here on our t. stay tuned. the

before becoming president for a new term plumber put in sore an oath of loyalty to the russian people in front of thousands because he promised to overcome the challenging period was taking a dignity and to become a stronger was it okay. and so did you know when they're willing to do enough, when we do the consolidated will of millions of people as a colossal force as the one that's evidence so far coming from the lease that we ourselves will determine the fate of russia and only ourselves not only for the sake of today's and future generations will view the citizens of russia. we have confirmed the accuracy of the country's course. this is of great importance. now, when we are facing serious telling me is that you in your email, i see in just a deep understanding of how comedy historical go with the determination to steadfastly defend our choice of values instead of freedom and national interest. so russia on stay we're, i'm confident that we will pass through this difficult milestone period with dignity. but what do you become even stronger?

and we'll definitely implement long term plans. we does have a large scale project aimed at achieving the goal of development deal. all right, well let's cross live now to our correspondence. we have donald quarter joining us from outside of the kremlin and eager stand off who is inside at the presidential palace for blood work put in was morning just about an hour ago and eager we will will start with you people around the world, watch the ceremony. a take place and so a fiery speech by the president, can you take us through it? well, absolutely, we are indeed in the kremlin palance in one of the most royal holes or other, we're looking holes over the venue. and this is where the beginning of the ceremony took part, basically vladimir putin. we saw him on the, on the tvs that are all around this place here. we saw him leave his office in the kremlin, get into the car, drive up to the palace and then walk alone. it's hold on to this one is the pin. no too much one basically it's the alexander of sky. hold on to by the look of

a you wouldn't be able to tell that it was actually destroyed back in the soviet union and re bill. it's back in the ninety's. yes. everything that you see here is uh, just over 3 decades old. uh, but as it was, he has a uh, decorated with the pink marble and really the amount of gold on the uh well on the walls and on the ceilings. they are befitting of only one place really well the palace and it is where we are right now. so vladimir putin, he entered the palace and he walked along the tools. he woke from my left following the red carpet and the to my wife entering the andrea of school where he took a nose one more time, placing his hand on the constitution. and that was a very special edition of the constitution that is used only for in new durations. hundreds of people have showed up to witness the event as they received. no. basically they received the invitations and so they were long enough alone,

the red carpet and it was people's old lot them, a group is through the palace was broad caused on the tv screens. it was very easy to tell where he is and to tell to say, well, just to expect his approach, because the wave of applause was rumbling through the holes, getting closer and closer and closer until finally, all the hundreds of people here started clapping with vladimir food and moved to through the doors to my left. uh, basically uh that was uh, that was the most solemn pause of the, you know, duration that, that was crowned by platinum approved in the dressing. uh, the nation uh off the he pledged of course, to do everything in the, his a post power. he has to do his absolute best to well, to basically live up to the expectations that the russian people has put on his shoulders. basically. because indeed the elections and much of the sudden out

turned out to be well, the largest ever broke records into these people. they did vote so full vladimir to do to become president of an officer that lot of my food left. this when you add, the ceremony continued outside the kremlin, there was, uh, if uh, there was something that didn't uh, didn't go just like last year. maybe that was the showing of a foreign diplomats because many, many nations they decided to boycott the event. even though that the, that wasn't felt really here within these was about to, for instance, of all the you representatives, only the investigator of france apparently was present at the ceremony. now vladimir putin officially, uh, is uh, once again, president of russia. and you mentioned that people who all over the world watch the new duration that is indeed so, and apparently the latest figures show that the ukraine move in 40 percent of the population june then. so really shows that the key of narrative of the people just

being oblivious to what's going on in russia that is simply not true. and after all the threats and all the crag downs on the ukrainian population. if the, when it comes to anything that might link them to russia, still almost half of, of, of you crazy is decided to which the new duration of the russian president. so indeed this event all the attempts at isolating this event in the media sense. well, they have obviously failed. all right, let's head over now to don carter who's outside the kremlin and done to it. and i mentioned to the west in his speech, not a surprise there. can you tell us more about what he said as yeah, of course. well, 1st of all, we have to understand what kind of people are invited to this. and our gratian ceremony right. there were people representatives of the russian federation council,

the state duma, representatives from various political, religious and social organizations. all around russia really representing the unity of the country behind the new re re elected russian president. but it's also important to understand something that my colleague egos not, i'm just pointed out in his live report, the fact that a number of foreign dignitaries were invited as well. and according to media reports, the only one that did show up specifically from the west was the french and bhaskar . but numerous officials from various western countries received invitations as well. and they decided not to show up this something that the deputy for administer of russia said was a chief move essentially to receive these invitations and just uh, not show up. and um, you know, if it kind of goes in connection with something that vladimir putin mentioned in his inaugural speech, she said that must have gotten no problem with having good relations with western

countries. it's up to the western countries themselves to end this hostile foreign policy towards russia. we accrued that we have been and will continue to be open to strengthening good relations with all countries that see russia as a reliable and honest partner. we are not giving up dialogue with western states. the choice is up to them. do they intend to continue trying to restrain russia's development to continue the policy of aggression in assessing pressure on our country for years? for to look for a way to cooperation in peace. i repeat a conversation including on issues of security and strategic stability as possible . but not from a position of strength without any arrogance in one's own exclusivity, but only on equal time. so prospecting each other's interest together with our partners in your region, integration and other summer and development centers. we will continue to work on the formation of a multi polar world or an equal and indivisible security system. the

unfortunate decisions by these western politicians not to participate in the russian presidential inauguration was kinda for shadowed by media reports that we saw across the western media. we saw the saw and then the independent calling rushes, elections, sham and fraudulent. and we also saw their single publish a quote from the german foreign ministry. that's the german foreign minister. rather who said that uh jeremy would not be participating in this inaugural ceremony. and this is something i mean, it doesn't come as that much of a surprise, especially because even when russia's presidential elections were going on between march 15th and march 17th. and the 8th you, regardless of the fact that a russian president vladimir put and had won an overwhelming amount of devout and an overwhelming amount of the russian population came out to participate in these elections. regardless of all that, the german chancellor, all off schultz refused even congratulate vladimir putting on his election victory

. so it looks like, you know, as long as western leaders continue to take this sort of anti russian foreign policy, hostile fault policy towards russia and the russian government. it's unlikely relations between the west and russia are going to improve very much right to our t correspondence. donald quarter and the guards down are reporting for us today as a kremlin, as the russian president vladimir putin takes the oath of office to become president for the 5th time leading the country for the next 6 years. thanks to the bus, the, the, what's running out to southern gaza where the idea of has confirmed taking control of does the side of the border crossing with egypt after is really armored vehicles were seen rolling into rafa. or the video shows, idea of tang making their way through rough um, at least 5 people have reportedly been killed as

a result of overnight strikes on garza's southern most city, you know, it's, after the idea of announced it's operation would continue, basically rejecting an earlier truce offered by him, us are these middle east bureau chief maria from ocean that has more on monday evening news came of tags and her in rough fun gases reported about heavy fire. dozens of casualties have been also reported. yet the idea of coals at at ltd operation that focuses only on the eastern parts of the city. the army keeps promising that the large scale operation is coming. i d. f is releasing photos of preparations with chief of staff confirming israel's military intentions. israel earlier said that people now sheltering in rough and gas is south at least one point. 2000000 of them should started by creating the idea, sends out leaflets, messages make calls even to encourage people to move to my wife and area next to

hun eunice in the center of the street where the too many terry and zone has been expended. and israel vows to prepare this area commendation food, water matter thing to embrace most of gases from the south, although even washington says it's still didn't see a solid evacuation plan. it has requested from israel before. it cannot support an operation in rasa as it is currently in vision. we have made clear, the secretary made this clear in his conversations with prime minister netanyahu and other members of these really government last week that we have not seen a humanitarian plan. that is credible, and that is implementable prime minister benjamin netanyahu problem is that a draft so would happen with or without an exchange deal with him as unclear how though, as the deal currently on the table, the time that's accepted includes the ceasefire. the do have mass accepted include 3 phases, 42 days of truth during the 1st stage with her mouse where these things 33 hostages

against is really, really ease of hundreds of security palestinian prisoners. currently housing is really jails. also, adf, partially withdrawals from guys, and allows free movement of displace palestinians from south to with all the streets. phase 2 includes additional $42.00 days of pros agreements to restore a sustainable com. that's a quote to guys and the language offered by israel to avoid using the wording permanent ceasefire. complete withdrawal of israeli troops from gaz. i'm with him. us releasing is rarely soldiers and mayo hostages, in exchange for release of additional ballasting and prisoners by israel. during the final stage decides suppose to complete the exchange of the bodies of the hostages and more probably stood in prisoners. the implementation of reconstruction of guys are under the supervision of egypt, cotter and un begins and is rarely blockades of the guys. 3 ends not clear what

points off this deal is real particularly disagrees with. but our sources involved in negotiations till the excitement on tuesday have most of negation supposed to come to kyra where they will hand their official acceptance to each of them. off to that stage, documents will be sent to israel and only then the reason official decision of these really war cabinet. and it will take another 2 or 3 days. so the read still hope, but we have to wait and see the news of her masses. positive response gains much international attention and most they also have positive iran. for example, welcome to the move call in a significant achievement of the political intelligence of the palestinian resistance. but while welcoming her masses acceptance and mediators efforts many remain skeptical. i have to say of israel continues with rough foot plans. saudi arabia condemned to the move jordan's king abdullah warrant that the operation

would lead to new massacre. jordan in for administer assessment and yahoo is risking ceasefire by all means. rafa moss has put out an offer. if netanyahu genuinely wants a deal, you will negotiate the offer in earnest. instead, if he is jeopardizing the deal by bombing rasa. we also seasons here his reaction from the united nations. the organizations high commissioner for human rights describes israel's calls to evacuate the rough for people as in humane adding, it contradicts international humanitarian law. un schools 1st inside the decision will only worsen dissertation of the civilian population of the in clave. and here is what the lens cheese has to say. i made today a very strong appeal for the governance of israel. and so the shape of the mos in order to go next to the mines, who met the allies in the agreement, that these episodes vibes of these is an opportunity that cannot be recessed.

and a good on the invasion you does offer would be keen foldable dropbox because of its devastating you meditating consequences. and because if it's this that be lising feedback and so again, the reach we have also saying the comment of china is leader and deer in his 1st and 5 years, states visit to friends where he calls and the hostilities. and also heard about discussions and brussels to sanction israel for its actions against guidance. so the international community is welcoming the ceasefire efforts, of course, but is very much concerned that is rose operation and rough um will ruin it. of the, after the cease fire plans were announced, people took to the streets of tel aviv urging the as really government to bring the hostages home. it is believed that around $1000.00 people protested outside the defense industries headquarters. that's as at least 100 people marched toward the prime minister's residence in jerusalem. 132 hostages are still being held captive

by hum us families of the hostages. have long been asking the government to take action to end the war and bring their loved ones home. their demands have not changed. only hope that the easier government they do not find excuses to fail. these do like the previous one, and these who say maybe on the end of the dream are the ones back home green, my son back ultimately the right decision to make video otherwise, if they've got to go tonight or tomorrow, the hostages will be dead. and the war even without the pics, with a deal or get back to finish up this horrible. over

in the embattled enclave. people poured out onto the streets of gaza to celebrate her mos agreeing to the deal. as gatherings were seen in the center. as well as the spouse of the enclave. people express hopes that the plan would be implemented, ending their suffering and the government has agreed to a cease fire. we are very happy for ourselves and for the palestinian people, god willing we will return home the highest. i salute him us on accepting the truth because frankly the population can not there anymore. we have defeated israel and we will return to our homes. i hope we will wind up. we hope that the intended truth will last and that a complete and thorough ceasefire will be implemented because we are tired of these wars got enough with the up enough. the jani, ben malcolm middle east and military experts has the idea of his waiting for further orders from the political top brass to occupy even more territories in rasa

. and what do we know is that, that and also the idea is confirmed that, that, that these really forces to go over the rough crossing and now the every varying and for, for the moment, the political action loans to move in. okay. if i the rest of the school in the philadelphia employee, do we choose a 14 to moment this long a long, these really a, the guns i each of their folder, which is what i'm playing. zip under these are a few notes that the use to some of the weapons from egypt. they need to go to sleep. i think that the service very limited in the section in the russell hey are, and what we saw, and the only limit through the operation improved by the megabyte in administration, which is taking over the rough crossing bus is full of you buying all of the russell area and the city overall easily is

a refraining from doing so because of the american pressure from paris to belgrade. the chinese president continues his 1st diplomatic tour of europe in 5 years and sets off for serbia as both countries mark 25 years and state as bombardment of the chinese embassy in the former yugoslavia. archie corresponding said, i can brings us more tony's president choosing things visit to serbia will mark a historical moment between the 2 countries relations. and it's the 1st visit since 2016 and also march the 25 year anniversary. since nato attacked the chinese embassy, the building behind me, of course, today serves as a chinese cultural center. but the 3 massages that nato used to attack, the embassy did kill 3 chinese journalists, and the reaction from washington was nothing but insincere. the general approach, of course, of washington refer to the attack as a mistake and blank,

faulty maps. and the chinese authorities back in 1999 called to the attack, criminal and barbaric and called on the western block to take account and responsibility for the attack. in the early morning of may 8, aging time nato led by the united states, raising the use my styles to attack the chinese embassy in the federal republic of yugoslavia, causing casualties and serious damage to the embassy building. this criminal act, which violated international lower norms of international relations, arouse great indignation among the chinese people. the chinese government issued a solemn statement that morning severely condemning the ball barrack atrocities committed by nature led by the united states and demanding that they took the full responsibility for this. the general approach and relationship between serbia and china seems to be one that is involving the 2 countries are growing closer together . and as a result, it is boring many within the european union. but the serbian president refers to the chinese president as his friend, highlighting the level of trust and the level of relationship that the 2 states

currently share. like to see president c because we consider him as a true friend and the a l. c. dedicated approach that we love on sort of young people with us. china has always been on the side of international public law. all is being supportive to us as we have always been supporters of training. the sacrament shared by the serbian president is a sentiment shared by many doing business with china. however, the general european union does not share that same sentiments because according to many, within the european block, they suggest china has they hidden agenda, chinese comments. the mount effect trend with massive subsidies more that at the sell and due to its own with domestic demand. this is leading to an over supply of chinese subsidize goods, such as electric vehicles and steel, that is leading to unfair trade. europe can not accept such market disposing practices that could lead to the industrialization in europe. in response to these

statements issue by the european commission, president susan ping essentially said no matter how you look at it, there is no such thing as the over capacity problem, particularly with respect to china. and then we take into consideration, of course, the fact that the chinese president met with the president of friends as well as the european union and the discussing i'm number of matters that are especially important for the european block. and this comes at a time when of course, the european union is questioning its lines and dependency on the united states. and this is what china comes into play, which is why the fear exists within the block itself. but this also comes at a time when serbian hungry are essentially referred to as nations that are close with china. they are essentially labeled close allies of the russian president vladimir putin. and taking all of this into consideration, of course, there is a level of distrust within these member states towards the general blog degree. the

feature will be finally to be as we expect to get the money. why is the money the only reason, or we need so taking everything into consideration from the general stance the us and its allies have imposed on other nations, particularly those within the european union and of itself. but the general approach, a post war,

the sentiments and the resentment is still there. and many nations disagree with the general approach of the united states and its other allies. and this is why many countries are seeking an alternative. this is what china comes into play. china especially offer a win win strategy, and this is something that countries like, so it'd be like hungry are taking into account and it will in one way or another act as some sort of a balancing mechanism between the united states. and this is where china comes into play, offering that balance according to entertain, getting the senior fellow at the time to institute the think tank. the timing of the diplomatic visit care is great significance for bell grade as well as a beginning. it's a reminder of the aggressive tactics of the united states. the fact that they have been broke international conventions. and last, when they bomb the chinese embassy, this is a real reminder that the us is not this benign entity. and it's, it's a contrast what we're shooting, being is trying to do is, you know,

he's actually doing the people to people, diplomacy. i guess it begins at the top and he's, he's laid out a framework for the world, which is quite different from the one that the us has been implementing over these many years. it's one based on, you know, trade security and civilization initiatives. recognition that countries have the right to the, to develop a to be secure and to be respected. china has a very good trade relations with over a 120 countries. this is one of them. the china is not putting pressure on downgrade to do anything. this is something that is coming from the leadership and the people, and the same from china, the china will stand firmly behind in the country of the right to this term and its own future. not one that is prescribed envisioning and certainly not one that is being coursed through washington. right. do stay with our 2 international that's gonna do it for me for now. but my colleague, nicky aaron will be in next in just over half an hours more than today's talk. new stories by the

when the world's largest democracy votes the rest of the planet watchers in an emerging multi polar world. india's voice matters. who will be the power behind

watches, almost 1000000000 people decide and billions more, react the look. this is the, under the estimates of the sofa and ottoman. oh, go ahead. oh, well for him to know a and the last i would be a one the see guess would be uh, i've sent it to send you the most of a good

a good deal. i see you in columbus for most coolest is of for the yeah, i'm gonna click the link to fit on the the one the length of. ready ready the, the sicilian, the, the, the demo linda lee is on the move from the and the government must, what a fee is to set up for the fees. and the ton, the rules mine the 10 the time did that it gives me does to fill out of the well, if it was sufficient or above in smith to in washington, i looked outside for just the most frequently asked in the most for me and that's pretty.
