chapter coming to a close eyes are now on the 2024 election and river trump's political career will survive. russia's president putin has said he's not trying to absorb his neighbor and ally belarus while at the same time, blaming their enemies for wanting to stop their integration food and made the comments during a meeting with bella, rosie and leader alexander location gunmen. keith is warning of a new assault on ingrained from belarus as fulton's 1st visit to the country since 2019 when you are when we do them. you know, after the talks, fulton and lucas jenko held a joint press conference. we asked t w's, a russian analyst konstantin, again for his take on what the leader said. well, it was very so the long on the rhetoric and clumsy jokes, and he called but not a moment on substances pretty short on,

for frankly speaking. there was nothing that indicated that 80 kind of momentous the systems were taken. frankly speaking, it's in terms of rhetoric. it's a very standard attempt to show unity. and i'm also frankly speaking, put in doesn't have that many allies these days. so ah, flying to means can showing some kind of united front with another very isolated dictator is probably just one of the very few moves he can actually undertake. as full hints of some kind of a military operation being launched from, from, from the terror. their ability was against you. cray, all the bill, russian army, actually joining the russian invasion or invading deliveries from the for a sorry for invading ukraine from the law. well, look, it's not something that going to announce the such a press conference. so for me, seeing that it was a pretty stand in the direction between the 2 and

a what of my sources? immense. ca telling me that yet another time lucas, she was talking about what he was talking about money. that's all the kind of thing he always talks about with putting this time about the stability of energy supplies to baylor is from russian. he's regime is very dependent on the russian entity supplies, oil and gas. and it seems that he was discussing this and probably some discounts yet another time of put this dependence kind of put flush ankle in in a difficult position. right? because fear is, are put, wants to pressure him to join a new offensive on ukraine. will look ash, angle b, able, willing in a position to resist this pressure? well, so far he managed to resist and ab diplomats, of the region diplomatic sources i talk to the region. are they all say that are

using the bell russian army to invade your grain to supplement? the russian efforts will probably be a disaster for lucas ankle. he army is not basically not in a very good condition. number one, the number 2, it will not be willing to fight the ukrainians, and i think that this is something that the question actually wants to prevent because this will reflect very badly his regime and actually good lead speed up its collapse. so it seems that what we've seen all these latin last, whether a 9 months neil in the nearly 10 months to today is taught in trying to pressure lucas franklin, to doing something concrete and specific in lucre shanker trying to give away as much as little as he can in terms of real, strategic or real strategic help to bruton. today at the press conference, lucas shanker said that they started deploying russian new russian.

our air defense complex's in bella was okay. oh, what does it mean? frankly speaking, no, that worked. so i think that it was yet another job. another conversation so far about not many specific see if there were any cause they wouldn't announce at the press conference. who constantine again in many a thanks. company had a phone strength to belarus, the ukrainian capital key was attacked by a swarm of russian girls. authorities say they shot down more than a dozen repair crews are working to restore power after ukraine's energy. great was battered by last week's parish of miss house. when the people of keys have gotten used to living in darkness, blackouts are a consequence of the seemingly never ending barrage of drone attacks from russia. there are no reports of fatalities from the latest wave which hit both energy

infrastructure and people's homes. the ukranian air force claims its air defenses shut down 30 of 35 incoming missiles. this couple aged in their mid eighties were at home when a drone struck their house. yeah, the q i dish. i'm feeling like the rest of the people are feeling. i have because i know that i am not alone edlio, if this had happened and i had been alone, but every one is suffering. you know, these extra, every one knew what should i do? scream, help me. it actually, he can scream or have an outburst. all you want? yeah. same. we just like the whole world in our ukraine, our screaming hulu. actually the attacks have caused huge damage, but they also appear to have stiffened the resolve of many people across the country. so you appro rumble, musician i sent my family to the bomb shelter, and i'm walking my dog. what's meant to be is meant to be

fortunate or tim pohden will die. all of them will die. we will live them. let's go through was nothing will repair everything, it will and we will live long and well, that kind of resolve is needed. air raid sirens continued to ring out across ukraine. on monday, earlier, ukraine's president urged his country's military allies to provide more support in the area of air defense. so there would be, this will be one of the most powerful steps that will bring the end of aggression, closer, earthy. russia will have to follow the path of cessation of aggression when it can no longer follow the path of miss aisle strikes. for now, those missiles strikes remain russia's primary way of hurting ukrainians who are left to pick up the pieces and go on you energy ministers meeting and brussels have agreed on a plan to cap natural gas prices. the agreement comes after weeks of haggling,

overweight rain in europe, soaring energy prices, b is biggest economy. germany had previously blocked efforts to limit natural gas prices. during the move could disrupt supplies on global markets. for say, the gas cap is set to come into effect. in february and d, w, brussels correspond, and band we got told me earlier how the u ministers arrived. and this agreement where the ministers agreed today that they have to do something because the, the years coming to an end, they deliberated this issue for about 9 months. and they want to show that europe is still able to act or to, to limit or to try to limit these prices. there were concerns and they are still verge, german minister said, and he is very skeptical that this price cap can do the trick. and he also hopes that it would never come to partition. that is, will not be used because prices was not rise to that $180.00. you are lever.

currently, they are only at $110.00 euros. and ministers hope that will stay this way. and let's get a run up of some other world news headlines today. in canada, 5 people were killed when a gunman attacked an apartment building. police later killed the 73 year old suspect on the scene and a suburb north of toronto. authority say the attacker was a resident of the building he targeted and had been involved in a legal dispute with some of his victims. police in sudan have fired tear gas at protesters and cartoon who were rallying against a deal between the military and political parties. the agreement aimed to end the crisis sparked by last year's military co. what opponents say they will only accept a civilian government. now estimated 122 people have been killed and the post crew crack down. britain's high court has ruled that a government plan to deport asylum seekers to rwanda is lawful after

a legal challenge by campaigners asylum seekers arriving in the u. k. could now be sent to rwanda, while their claims are being processed. those granted asylum would remain there. south african president 0 room, a poser has been reelected as the head of the ruling african national congress. despite facing the worst corruption scandal of his presidency. rosa fought off the leadership challenge from his former health minister will continue to serve as the head of the a and c for another 5 years. now her word corruption, dodge, prime minister, mark alicia has apologized for his country's rule and slavery. calling it a crime against humanity. the netherlands once had an extensive colonial empire, including at different times, areas in south east asia, africa and the america's dutch government is now planning to step up education and awareness efforts aimed a tackling racism in the netherlands or reminders of slavery are still very easy to

find when jennifer tosh walks through amsterdam, she sees a history on the wall. it's she said direct descendant of people enslaved by the dutch. now she takes people on walks to show them the past that is hiding in plain sight. well, it's everywhere. i mean, where we're standing right now is at the heart of what's referred to as the golden benz, the wealthiest part of the city, where the founders of the dutch east and west india company, and society of serena's where they lived there. they had their mansions here, people like tosh, whose families come from in slave. people has spent decades pushing for an official apology for the past and the damage. it did. the fact that the dutch only had a small share of the trans atlantic slave trade should not meta. she says, the dutch has centered themselves so much as exceptional, not like the british, not like the french, not like the portuguese. it's given this impression that won't. we weren't so bad. yeah. i had 5 percent compared to world history. that's not that much. and it

wasn't here. it was always somewhere else out of out of sight, out of mind. that sort of nostalgic waiver, manta sizing history has left people thinking, what, what's all this fuss about? reparations than in a lance was among the last countries in europe to abolish slavery. before they did, it is thought the dutch enslaved more than half a 1000000 people to day dutch prime minister, michael to apologize for the pain and suffering his country, brought upon these people. you the families and communities to day. i apologize. our b meets up be the, the scuba teether. we've only ducky bottle from that be today. and on behalf of the dutch government, we're, i apologize for the actions of the dutch states in the past boston posthumously, all formerly and slave people worldwide,

who suffered from those actions to their daughters and sons. and to all their descendants, all up to the present, thought that he had em. along with the apology, who to promised a memorial year in the front of $200000000.00 euros that will pay for education. that awareness project aimed at reducing race's thinking. a front that is very necessary, says linda noise. now, everything that we does, we see around us that involves a racism. institutionalized racism comes from this last history. so in order to know what to repair, you have to study. you have to make amendment recession, because the reparations are also involved. those countries where the system of slavery was, was, was brought to the official apology is a good move forward. says tosh. it is important step in the process, but we can't stop there in terms of education in real societal understanding to

assess the journey has just begun. earlier i spoke with rhoda arrendale, president of one s x m from saint martin in the caribbean. she told me why her association had started a petition to ask the government us sen mountain, not to accept the dutch prime minister apology. i'm good afternoon. thank you for this opportunity to bring to your voice from this side of the, of the world on the issue. primarily because we didn't expect the way it was pushed that the the apology would be a sincere apology or a legal and valid apology as we have been asking for for years now. and after hearing it today, we are convinced that he does not measure up to the standards of what an official legal apologies should look like. what should the netherlands to, to prove that this is a sincere apology, a google apology,

as you say. and then they really do want to make amends. well, one of the things, if you, if you study the carry compound point agenda that we've been suggesting to our governments in the region with regards to how we begin with apology. if you even look at that, one of the things that we recognize is that reparations ought to be part of the conversation, right? if we're speaking about with territory, just in the mere fact that the netherlands government has already said that we will have a discussion about an apology, but we're not going to be discussing reparation. that's already a fall start. that means they're not sincere. they're not the idea, not looking to repair, to restore what to compensate and, and the discussion that there's going to be $200000000.00 euros set aside for awareness. says the us, it's almost uninstalled. and so where do we go from here? when should the next steps look like to include you and your community in the process and, and achieve something like reconciliation?

if there can be such a thing? that's a good question. well, for us, it's not up to the net month or the spider as far as we're concerned. as far as one of them is concerned. this is a process that has been ongoing in the caribbean. in 2013 the caricom. go ahead, the government set up the restoration commission. they might, might yet have an official reparation commission. one ethic m have a while to become an official member of the carry. com, reparations commission. that's what is a 1st step. we're busy doing our own research. we have employed our government to set up for reparations commission officially, and we've asked parliament to engage in discussions with the people in the mart. that's where we start. as far as we are concerned, one of them we don't care whether the never going to do what the med most often does. you know, present an agenda in the interest of another man,

regardless of how it affects other people. this is why we're having this conversation today about reparations and lee and apology had the netherlands not operated from a place of breed in the interest of the amendment. we would not be here having this conversation today, but we're saying let the netherlands what a maryland does all the time. we in saint martin in the caribbean are busy with our own study. with our own research. we do not wish to be rushed into it as it was done with the madman. there was no discussion within martin when the report was written. on the report on which the netherlands has been seeing this apology, the netherlands has not yet set up why the magical date of december 19th, which was just revealed within a few months that now this official apology. so do you know where in the process will we engage in the conversation of what the apology should look like? or when it does come, how we are going to be involved in getting to reconciliation? as you mention, it's a one sided colonial approach and we rejected rhoda arundel,

president a one ethics from st. martin. thank you so much for your time. you're welcome. thanks for this opportunity. germany's foreign minister is on a 2 day trip to nigeria. today she visited a region that's a stronghold of the terrorist group, vocal her rum, alina babbled toward a camp in the north. that is reintegrating for fighters. back to society. germany is funding the project aimed and stamping out terrorism in the stronghold. book said the surrender of some 100000 vocal around fighters gives hope to the conflict torn region earlier d w. corresponding force to cora told me more about the area visited by the german foreign minister or the area that a minister, a bare bug visited, is called in garner. in mid inborn new state, ne of nigeria. that's one of the areas that have been ravaged by book who her arm
