the, the, the new trains military chief confirms a withdrawal of troops from the key city of the, of the, of the month. the 5th bound souls, 12 presidents, the landscape towards your rep with a bit that you, i'm a little fine on things 1st got to run more effort pull. so this out portion to be set to provide as well with more weapons is a full with a $1000000000.00 a packet looms, even as the american president expressed his hopes, the idea what starts a new offensive in the region. he was so sorry, he's tracks down on an s b a in full lives who would like to be finding somebody to $10000000.00 in bribes during business dealings in ukraine. the
11:01 am
a very well welcome to you. it's 7 pm here in the russian capital, and you'll watching all the international with the late as well news updates. it's good to have you with us. a top story, this our, the commander in chief of ukraine's military has confirmed that his policies are retreating from the city of, of the, of the, in the don't. yes, we are public. these particular patient has seen months. relentless bass. what was with kids? troops reported to have taken massive losses is based on the operational situation around of dave. in order to avoid and circle man and preserve the lives in house of service. man, i decided to withdraw our units from the city and move the defense on more favorable lines. if true, this would be a major development on the front line b. i'm saying if true because the russian come on is yet to confirm that indeed it's nemesis has retreated from this strategic point. but again, we have seen we have seen reports and we've talked to men on the ground to our sources on the ground. we have been saying that the fighting indeed has been
11:02 am
relentless and if the ukrainian forces have decided to abandon of the day of cause, that would be a major development due to several reasons. first and foremost, it would be a 1st move of this calling on behalf of the ukranian forces in over a year. in fact, we haven't seen anything of the sort since the withdrawal and pull out over the town of lucy chance can dilute guns group public back in 2022. now even the, the one of the most bloody is bottles of this conflict. the battle for the city of buck moved not to almost despite all the advice that the god from the nato allies, from please from mothers, sisters, and relatives, just families, friends of those who were there on the bus route, front line, they decided to hold the ground then even then the last that town, so the decision to pull out of the, the something that we haven't seen in quite a while. also at the same time, remember that of dave cut, use literally
11:03 am
a genetic sub uh to an unfamiliar person to an unfamiliar person. might not even notice that they already left the nest and ended up day of could. so that's a challenge. it's very, very close to this major city. and that was often from where the next civilians were shelves. and the so if the russian troops managed to push the ukrainian forces further away from of the designs that would make the city of dennis too much safe. and it would be able to finally read a gulf of fresh air, so to speak. because cheap to re shells would be simple, the city would be simply out of range would chief artillery shells. also a big thing to look out for is where the frontline will basically stretch along which we do to loan which which towns and villages. because right now it is unclear where exactly the bringing forces prepared the full back positions. so again,
11:04 am
it is uh, is here yet to see if the russian seats will just be satisfied with taking the idea of the day of good town. because of the rule, there's plenty to be done that there has been k r c and the ranks of the korean forces reported by themselves from leaks videos. uh, the last uh, basically the last radio uh there was radio silence on the positions of many, many units. so many units could maybe they didn't get the come on to withdrawal. maybe they simply were to, in circled, ready to pull out to do that safely. so is, of course, the zillow to be done, to clear of the, of, uh, any presence of you create in forces. that is the task that seems to be in front of the rushing. i'm forces right now, but again, we'll have to see the russian combined will want to capitalize on this and we'll try to push and send ukrainian force is running and fleeing. further. ukraine's military house relates to this on various side footage. st. plumes of
11:05 am
smoke can be seen rising, gather what appears to be a major technical factory in the of the, of the largest coke processing plants have his kind in europe used to fuel. industrial furnace is so while you try reclaims parts of this who's being quoted by as patrons of the ongoing meaning security conference has defended the decision to retreat from of the outcome. that's not to miss lens. he's games of seeking to save lives. have been met with mockery from the russian foreign ministry mobile. there's one last of the day. i'm not sure who it is important to save our people. this is the most important task for us. if we take care of our people at them on our warriors, because this is protection and any weapon, you know, we are grateful to all our partners. ok. but any weapons of course, helps restore justice and peace on the territory of ukraine. everyone knows that the military, liberty, and the territories the military protects homes, protects people, the families. therefore,
11:06 am
the decision was correct and so as not to be in circles, abusing the decision was made to retreat to other line. i since give them a, this does not mean that our troops minus to for some kilometers and to rush it took over something. if they didn't grab anything, no more hollis enough would you know? not because of this, but because a president and his gun know how to fight tony for big money, which go straight into that pockets and only against civilians. nothing else matters to them. now joined in the studio manase correspondent in mind, ma, am i thanks for coming in today. so stay 2 of the security conference in unit. yes . again. so landscape is on the hunt for more funding for do you think we can expect from the rest of based conference? it ends tomorrow. i believe. so, of course the conference was the highlight of the conference was reading ukraine and ukraine president of the landscape. he went on and on about how you play needs more weapons needs more money that despite the billions that is already provided to
11:07 am
your credit. so it seems like all that money is not really working. he's claiming, again that ukraine has a she has used to win in this conflict, but the catch here is be more support and it is necessary because, well, according to him running out of provided that munition is only helping russell further and what was being the main message we're hearing from west and latest. the always seems like what soon leaders cannot. we say the word know to president villains the devil's appraise, depending on what they call. it's advances on the ground, and they went on and on about how russia has yet to achieve its goals on the ground, the sick listen, a man, no mistake or has already been and her failure for russia. ukraine has re gained more than half the territory. russia occupied at the start of the conflict. thanks in part
11:08 am
to a massive supply of americans and european weapons. i apply the recent $54000000000.00 commitment the made to support ukraine on top of the more than $100000000.00 are you are paying outlines and partners have already dedicated, well spent, the getting a kind of, i'd see, the russia on the contrary, has nothing shaved any of its military goals libel suits in wanting to take the key in 2 weeks, 2 years later, out of the crate and liberate the territories amplified by russia. russia has lost control of the western powers and more like c s shots. and you know, it is quite interesting to hear that because i have a few things i'd like to point out here. now this morning, ukraine has confirmed if flips withdrawal from the town of, of the, of got in the public key of troops reported to have taken a massive losses in the battle. now, according to the russian defense,
11:09 am
administrative also mentioned that the ukraine has lost almost $400000.00 troops from the start of the special military operation. another point is ukraine seems to be in desperate need of more western support. so the question here is, why wouldn't need more support if russia is losing me, right, it was reported that you prayed in army is facing a quote radical deficit of troops. the new york times. it's also predicted as quote collapse along the front at some point this year if no western support is being provided. the washington post has also highlighted t as man power deficit. now this latter, and i'm not sure how the west can help with that unless they want to get into a direct conflict with russia. but how is russia being defeated when not only zelinski, but also western leaders deep on emphasizing? how important it is to spend money on your plan and at a to even more. now,
11:10 am
we also have the united space, right? that remains that odd with itself when it comes to pasadena, propose financial aid package to you way as republicans and democrats did not steal the deal when it comes to the matter. now, that is $60000000000.00 for ukraine, that is on the whole l $40.00. p and countries are not fond of this decision and are essentially telling the united states to just do it. let's take a listen to your opinion console has approved. unimportant due package of aid to ukraine. and i expect the us to follow suit. this is vital. now despite all of this, paul, let's remind ourselves that on many occasions before western leaders has complain that they can not provide support to a crane any more. let's take a listen. when i came up with the proposal or the one round,
11:11 am
a one meeting and rounds artillery initiative for, for ukraine, then it turned out that, you know, our defense industry is not capable. and we don't have enough the war and your credit has, has demonstrated that there are some serious gaps. for instance, when it comes to sustainment. one more thing is to have all the advanced weapon systems, but they need a spare parts of the maintenance and they'll piece the need, how munition and the beginning of the war and ukraine. we the peace of our stocks, but now they are running quite low. so now we're focusing extremely also very much on how to ramp up production. now, it is a world of contradictions, really because every day seems to be a new phone decision with them and you way command on most of the, to the conference hardest in germany has to. so in the security pots with care, what do we know about that? so far, so germany along side francis admission site a 10 year long, the bilateral security agreement, we do claim,
11:12 am
but germany is taking this very seriously as it stays, europe, leading a donor to ukraine, and the country is now for g. it's european allies to do the same as it ends and then screws each other fine bone boss. this is the truth, is that this war in the center of europe is demanding a lot from us. yes, money that we spend now and in the future on our security is lacking elsewhere. else can we feel that on that? i also say that without security, everything else is in the valve. now germany is worried about you way and when it probably should be more worried about its own little economy. as it stands, the german economy is not doing so well. it's doing pretty bad and that is, according to the country's economy administer, the country is expected 0.2 percent growth for 2024. and the country's economy is still in recession according to reports. but they are ready to send over a 1000000000 euros on ukraine. and the question here that we should be asking
11:13 am
ourselves if, why is germany so focused on ukraine rather than being focused on its own internal affairs that need a little bit more attention. and why do they choose to provide more weapons to fuel the conflict even further? rather than being open to talk now present at the conference was india's b, j, p national folks, man just and he insisted the dialogue is he or he does? does it mean that the issue is you and any other nation needs to ask a specific question and a simple question, what would it take to stop the war? would it take the pressure to bring both sides on the table, or would it help to supply more guns? that's the question you are any nation digging any particular site in this particular price that needs to ask themselves. now interestingly enough, ukraine is also speaking to me to sign up for a piece meeting. as soon as the next months the china is for administer said that the conditions right now are not meant to have some sort of meeting to take place
11:14 am
at the moment. but that's not surprising because, you know, several countries including china, i've said that if there will be peace talks rushed to should be at the table as well. so saying he of course rejects that. so how can you bring about peace between israel when a, without both parties, when russia was also involved in this is not allowed to be at the, the negotiations table. right. especially when we know that ross saw as already made it clear that it is open to negotiations. i mean every, the russian president of leg mcqueen has one made it clear as day. it is room into the $92.00 days. and so that conference has been no mention of peace folks, no mention of negotiation, just as money, money, money, and my money. thanks to coming in we are now to dollars the onto washington, which is set to provide as well with more weapons, a $14000000000.00 a package loons, even as the american president express its hope. so the idea was starts a new offensive in the region. i don't anticipate,
11:15 am
i'm hoping that at the israel is, will not make any mass of land and vision in the meantime. so that's my expectation . that's not going to happen. there has to be a ceasefire temporarily, as well as, and showing any inclination for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, even lashing out to the united nations. he is a ton of age reaction all the way top you are, the officials that the to mazda is not a terrorist organization. a mouse as most of the terrorist groups for us. of course, as you know, it's a political move, but this is the face of the when an organization and why wash has tears and promotes him us and blames the victims. the one has lost all credibility and you must not believe a word that comes out of it. mister under secretary general, you cannot say that you act in the name of the communitarian affairs. you are a club reader of come us, the united nations brakes and you record low every day. the on the secretary general of the united nations reject the fact that the not to terrorist
11:16 am
organization hom us, is a terrorist organization called in age and political movement. and the secretary general of the united nations continues to, as well as well earlier accuse be you wednesday, agency of relief on works of having links would be him us, but it's a great time to be playing to 12 on the wall staff members who are connected with the october 7th, the math with tax it took the lives of more than a 1000 is re lease the allegations cost several countries including the us to pull the age donations to the agency. the irish minister of foreign affairs on defense that the claims of course, in palestinian lives. that way i was deeply concerned of the number on was key. donors suspended their funding based navigations against a very small number of staff that have us to be proven. our partners in new york in union, and as we are including the united states, most urgently resend this decision and resume funding ireland support remains
11:17 am
steadfast. i am happy today to announce the funding of 20 minutes in your report under far as operations in 2024. we spoke to historian ellen pop, who's that? that is well as tried to undermine on the wall activity in dollars us and many years. and i think it's like the only historically it only uh exists because of, of is rose insistence of the 1948 is when didn't loved the international record you organization the aisle to deal with about his the refugees because it didn't want to equate the jewish refugees in europe with the putter. steve is use of these really ethnic lindsay reformation. and now of course, after 75 years, it regards only uh, is as positive as being in it resistance. where it is, all right, is doing is providing the minimum and basic conditions for the posting of refugees to exist. some of these
11:18 am
a these believe. ready ready is totally subjugated in the few the thing that if they succeed in somehow eliminating and then the basic but as being in the main. so the right to be 10 would be before a circle disappear. this of course would not happen and therefore. ready this is the main reason that i thing ways we use now ethics and it's quite embarrassing to see how you're west and you will be at lee. there's a going along with what i, i'm sure they know you just text it to try and provide immunity for these really actions on the ground without to the west bank. well in defense of human rights is fitting in jail, awaiting charges on the trial date. the all i asked was taken into custody january 19th by is way the security forces he would issued and administered to the rest of the games to we spoke with a colleague lawyer in the highlands, colorado for more details of the aisle was arrested on january 17th to contain
11:19 am
a check pointing bethlehem, the letter learned she was mistreated, insulted by the soldiers through the rest. she was transferred for interrogation to offer a present, then move to present in the classroom, which many have testified and spared. but for all female prisoners, especially effort towards 7th, all of them have faces treatment and for potential conditions in the classroom. present particular with dial a face squared by conditions with herself or that would remove prisoners mattresses in the morning. the cells were very cold and had no sooner. she was later transferred to to mont prison and were surprised with decision to put her on administer to potentially for 4 months. she was put in solitary confinement a few days ago after she was subjected to the present conditions, especially with she and a fellow prisoner returned to me, which led to her punishment. the conditions remain for the food is unsuitable for streaming consumption in terms of quality and quantity before the release of the paintings from guns. but they also stepped on the floor, but after their release, the pressure in the prison is slightly low and some to sleep on the fence. however, they faced verbal abuse from the prison guard state. we include an obscene language
11:20 am
and for us, a 28 year old palestinian human rights slowly spell is defending political prisoners. but the story is just one of many whose being an administrative me detained by as well. well, the $6000.00 palestinians, including hundreds of women and children, had been arrested, finds wally forces principal in, gone to a rep to according to the palestinian permission of detainees of 5, which were posted cost to the conditions. also severe for the faith to pull some presents the hearing which my colleagues and not attended were. so dial avaya was a court hearing to confirm her administrative detention. and the lawyers meeting. we were waiting for the decision in the coming days, whether to confirm that most of the tension can select release her, reduce it or extend dial a after the sort of more to the great job of training stuff. since a fellow speaking, where is the volunteer and visit with to the visit this detention placed without
11:21 am
a permit volunteers twice the link between the prisoners and their families. especially with the loss of contact you to the measures taken by the occupying forces in prison before her arrest. she is 5 days, you know, for present and reassured they're trying to enter. it brings back by dial and the volunteer rewards with compton from stylus visits where the reasonable harass wasting september 7th. there has been a targeting of all human rights activists and posting that was a large scale arrest complaint against human rights defenders and civil society. many of them were still in presenting this really change. we believe women rights advocacy was the main reason for her arrest and detention. honestly, we don't have much hope for the really, especially with a large number of human vice defensive, so arrested and put into it seems to potential, we know as mississippi attention is on just to find me some detention because if there were a case, it would have been charged and try in dialysis key and 80 percent of those rest of the effort towards some have been transferred to mississippi. this nice tourism justified the attention of many post senior prisoners for political reasons. the
11:22 am
occupation uses please to type in screen on the west bank, in case of a deal between the occupation inspections and got the alex involvement for the f. b . i who investigated the biden family's business dealings in ukraine has been arrested by us so far as he's alexander smirnoff has been charged with making, quote, false claims, but joy biden, on his son hunter, accepted 10000000 dollars in bribes. republicans have been using the allegations to try and build a case for in page hang, find to for the defendant story to the f. b. i was a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise on remarkable business meetings and contacts that had actually occurred. but at a later date, then he claimed, and for the purpose of pitching, prism on the defendant's services and products, not for discussing bribes to public official one when he was an office. well, we have the case of alexander smyrna, and this is an individual that according to special counsel, david weiss, he's now being indicted for making a false statement and creating
11:23 am
a false and stick tissues record i could face up to 25 years in prison, essentially for providing what they allege is false information to the f b i essentially, he came forward then he talks to the, the, i about the hunter by who scandal regarding the risk, my holdings right after the 2014 your roommate and to the son of then vice president joe biden, who's currently the president of the united states, uh, got hired by a ukranian energy firm called burris my holdings. now he got hired by them and he had no previous experience in the energy industry. and he was paid quite handsomely for his work. the whole thing smacked of corruption to most observers. so it's a ledge that smearing of misrepresented the truth to the the i've and told them that they had that, that they had told him, they hired him to protect us through his dad in all kinds. and from all kinds of
11:24 am
problems now they're claiming that this is not an accurate statement. now it's not clear if alexander is near enough deadline, but it's worth pointing out that throughout the donald trump presidency and throughout the, you know, dealings with allegations of trump, russia collusion, they were all kinds of calls statements that were made. for example, christopher steel, his infamous dot ca, that claim to prove donald trump was the hold into russia. that's been completely de box the entire collusion investigation now. so there was simply no evidence of illusion between trump and russia. and we have a report from the special council investigation saying the basis of that entire story that the media ran with for the 4 years of trump presidency was not accurate . this is what the ultimate report from the us department of justice had to say about the story of trump. russia collusion completely to box the special councils investigation did not find that the trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with russia and its efforts to influence the 2016 us
11:25 am
presidential election. and then there was james clapper, right? james clapper from the office of the director of national intelligence. he went around to other intelligence officials and had him sign a letter saying that the 100 buying laptop story was russian. this information and a number of former intelligence officials basically signed this letter urging the american people not to believe the hunter, laptops story that undermines laptop with some kind of fictitious russian propaganda. well, it turned out the 100 by the laptop story was indeed real. the laptop existed, the contents, the laptop were not misrepresented. it was a true story, but the intelligence community was mobilized to urge the american public to ignore it. this is all the james clamber, former director of national intelligence, had to say about that. there was message distortion. all we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be rushing this information. so right before the us elections, we had a major scandal related to the family of one of the presidential candidates that we had government officials, former intelligence officials mobilize, do you know,
11:26 am
suppressed. and it turned out to be a true story. now it's appears that throughout the allegations of trump, russia collusion, and throughout the impeachment of donald trump related to his phone call was the landscape. it was all kinds of false statements, all kinds of lying that was done. but at this point, only this, alexander smear knob individual has been charged. so that raises suspicion about the balance of forces in washington dc and the one sided mess of american justice. now hunter buying will be testifying before a congressional committee before the end of the month. and that is something that many critics of the binding ministration are very happy about. they are hoping that a 100 buying will be faced with some tough questions about his business dealings with version the holdings and other corruption that people look at from his laptop and from other reports that have come out. uh, but it appears that there is very selective enforcement of this law regarding lying
11:27 am
to the, the i or miss representing the truth to federal investigators and informants. so the fact that smear knob has been charged but christopher steel, james clapper, and so many people who said so many false things throughout the trump presidency and its aftermath remain at large spacing, no charges. it points to a certain bias and how the laws being enforced many thanks for your company, this sense of the coming up next. rick sanchez with the latest episode of direct impacts. more news is coming your way. the top of the with will receive the president by a new president need to talk. i've said that repeatedly, publicly and privately in the united states. for years, you cannot solve this without me sitting down and this is not ukraine and russia
