[000:00:00;00] ah, the stores that shape the weak from us tension spiral are free. ukrainian navy ship approaches russian waters without authorization. something moscow is slammed as provocative. unthreatening described was a dark day for journalism. julius sandy supported lash out at the london high court ruling to allow is possible extradition to the united states. yet another hearing is now needed to decide is faith. this is not a case that is being fought on the basis of that law. this is an absolute travis to any legal process and sever stating tornadoes tear through parts of america with more than 75th dead in the state of kentucky alone.

ah, oh, good evening to russia. it's kevin, i will here with you at ortiz world news age true with the weekly i ran to pull the pig stories. he brought you over the last 7 days. first, the intentions over ukraine ran real high this week with russia criticizing the west for fueling, the escalation and voicing concern at night as actions in the region. moscow said it could potentially lead to a large scale conflict. the escalation happened after a ukrainian navy ship approached rush of waters without authorization on thursday evening, big fuss over to move that russia regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area. ukraine denied all allegations and insisted that shit was an unarmed search and rescue vessel that was never entering restricted waters or posing any threat. it did eventually change course. ukraine too was the main topic of conversation between vladimir putin and joe biden. on tuesday,

the u. s. president pointed at what he called the threatening nature of russian troop movements near the ukrainian border and said, severe sanctions have been drawn up. moscow though, insist sick could move it troops wherever it wants to, on its own territory. while saying it's nato that's making the dangerous moves the crime in spokesperson talk to r t. about how nate has actions of being regarded at the moment in russia. is 2 to 92 acres, which is the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e. u. leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion at the same time, no one talks to care of non warns care of against even thinking of a military intervention in a done yet elegance, conflict, mortgage interest on addition to mice. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants forth. all of this is aimed to deter

russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to insure our own interests. while ukraine and the west accuse russia that have arming the self proclaimed republic to lease an ukraine, the u. s. many times, openly sending arms to key f, washington revealed at 30 javelin ante tank miss. our systems were delivered to craig in october as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package, and a further $200000000.00 on the table to plus with the ongoing military build upon russia's borders. the g 7 group advanced economies as threatened russia with a severe response if it attacks ukraine. moscow denies any plans of invasion, and his sis sits nato that poses a threat to russia by expanding further east, closer to its borders. but the white house believes that only it has the right to draw the line. yes. oh. of course the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad

wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises, and again when military drills were conducted in crimea. and only recently, moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time it's the real deal. and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the criminal battle plans the new year offensive. and for the umpteenth time this year, russia is forced to defend the presence of its own troops on its own land. russia is not a threat to any country. the deployment of russian troops on the national territory is our sovereign roy and no one's business. it is nato on its members, states a recklessly moving their military forces and infrastructure to the russian borders

. so what is washes red line, us spy pains jetting towards rushes borders. passenger jets with hundreds of civilians on board, diverted because the nato re complain was too close and wouldn't respond to ground control. the actions by the u. s. air force created the threat to civilization and the fact that the catastrophe was averted over the backseat doesn't mean that the u . s. and nato can go on the risk in people's lives with impunity. the latest american war ship sailing into waters bordering russia. what issues was nature? you know, a u. s. warship has now entered the block, see where we can see it through binoculars or the crosshairs of a defense system system. a better one or multiple missile systems just across the face. it was a bit more to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just a short distance from our borders. in romania, poland, lansing, we saw defense systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted

into offensive missile systems that targets us. it only takes a matter of minutes to change the software. now, instinct tells me that if a russian destroy was spotted steaming into new york harbor, it would be a flaming red line for washington. but believe it or not for us all, this is a pink line at best. the real issue is nato, or rather, nato's expansion, and expand it. it has from this humble state in 1990 to this empire in 2020. now, back in the day, russia was promised, nato would grow not one inch eastward of berlin. well, bats berlin, so no, it's not an inch. it's over a 1000 kilometers. and now it's knocking out rushes door. ukraine joining nato and we've been talking about it for a long time is a red line for us. the continual drawing of keys into the military orbit of the alliance, the de facto start of natives, assimilation of the military infrastructure of this country. and the desire to turn it into

a foothold for confrontation with russia could all cause severe negative consequences and destabilize the military and political situation in europe. but lucky for nato, it's got a get out of jail free card because in politics, well promises are made to be broken. there is that where is that written down? where is that from was written down and under the similar this friend of mine will it rich girl that you didn't call whitaker one us mcmurry to good it in the mean time, the u. s. unfazed, by its terrible track record of predicting russian behavior is covering its bases and drawing up some economic thank says, you know, just in case while speaking of sanctions, washington's already threatened moscow with extreme measures globally. those penalties are a central tool of u. s. foreign policy america, for instance, is just irritated bay ging to buy imposing her diplomatic boy caught on china's upcoming winter olympics is also imposed sanctions on 14 officials and 4 entities

in iran and syria over alleged rights abuses been the week we discussed the role and impact of america's putative policies for the panelists, essentially, you gotta, you gotta view and walk into the u. s. american exceptionalism and, and supremacy. and they are basically, they're, they're, they're doing whatever they can. do, you know where we're married? it's a very arrogant, aggressive policy. they use the sanctions and if it really is a means to destabilize the other countries sovereign nations and create that can make hardships early. why do you think america is threatening to sanction russia for something that a has not happened and be, will not happen according to the kremlin? i think in one way the political move on that side. the other part is they, we need it. we need a bogeyman and i think partially,

there were luther are in once. it's kind of like a rabid dog. you know, you start to lash out in, in different ways, trying to protect yourself and, and the only one problem we have is the thinking is this kind of destructive, approached her international relations. but it's, it's just so silly because ultimately you saw the brand he was sitting on, or do you think the continental united states is going to survive? if it makes the devastated mess of the rest of the world? do you think any western power seriously believes russia is about to invade ukraine? you know, it's hard to understand the logic. what could moscow stand to gain from, from starting a war? well, i think that the western governments do well know that this is rather a blame game. they make the public belief that russia is a real threat to the ukraine at the moment. russia is really in defense because they have to fear that a ukraine will become

a part of the nato alliance. and this is, of course, a major threat to the geopolitical setting of russia. cutting russia off. busy from swift would be the most extreme of measures deployed viet, it happened to iran, devastated the economy there. is there any chance of washington pursuing what's being called a nuclear option based on their questionable diplomats that they potentially good. i think be very unwise move, very little impact, i think internally, externally it would, it would kind of back fire. i would think europeans would be very strongly lobbying against such an action. and if you're going to set off to do something like that, presumably that's the goal. well, let's just like opening a black hole up under the international banking system. we're seeing what's happening and showing with a grunt warbling in the property market, possibly going down the drain. uncles. if that happens,

that's going to pull down the western banking system potentially a dark day for journalism is how june is sancha support has reacted than to the british high court ruling on friday. that the wiki leagues found that can be expedited possibly to the u. s. washington one, it's appeal against a previous decision blocking a son from being sent to america to face trial on espionage charges campaign. a slam the latest move, which was handed down on what was the un human rights de we condemn today's u. k. high court decision to allow the expedition of julian so on, so the us, which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe that julian saw and just being targeted for his contributions to journalism. back in october, those a to day harry was the united states, try to appeal over numerous grounds, including the fact that it offered an unprecedented package of assurances, as i saw, it would not be held under the maximum security the strictest maxim security

conditions in prison over there and that he isn't on well is being, he's made out. well judas saw just always have continued to say that he is indeed a suicide risk. and that all of these assurances are meaningless and vague as they approach it. they said that the united states can reverse any decision at any point . class is also concerned about the trustworthiness of america's guarantees to pointing to one of those reports in the year that the cia had prompted to kidnap during the saw and put it to kill him. speaking outside the high court here this morning, we've heard from stella morris to partner who's incredibly disappointed and she's saying why and how is this happening for? how long can this go on today is international human rights day? what a shame, how cynical to have this decision on this day to have one of the

foremost the foremost publisher journalists of the past, 50 years in a u. k. prison, accused of publishing the truth about or crimes about cia killed teams. many people have been supporting her outside here. many, many protests is that also are similar questions there who is a glimmer of hope that you know, the british justice system might actually prevail for once. the british judiciary, assistive on every level the u. s. campaign to get a to is 10 years, 10 years in the streets of london, public opinion into suicide. a sound. but obviously the judge's decision is not on the side of public opinion. it's absolutely devastating. so she, this time of year for another christmas. and julian that is children without their

dad it stay on the fight to free judy massage. that's what i say. we will prevail eventually, many people outside as a high court say, where is the human rights? in the case of june, assange, obviously listed on the foreground of the royal court of justice, that they call it the royal court of injustice. diplomatic. now, a beyond a, just as that it was being announced, i protest even through eggs at the side directly behind me, which just goes to show the sentiment and feeling here on the streets of london. yet briefly, his haven't got to this point in 20. 19 jillian assange was forcefully removed by british police from ecuador embassy, london,

after the country terminated his 70 or asylum. there he sought refuge after sexual assault allegations in sweden. you may remember which were later dropped. the british authorities then arrested him on a separate charge, a jumping bail. america still wants to wikileaks founder, extradited on claims of conspiring to hat government computers and publishing classified material. meantime, passengers fiance claims he suffered a stroke during a hearing in october wikileaks, editor in chief, kristen, how france and talk to his following fridays ruling was actually in believable. and so i run. a good disposition should be handed on the united nations human rights. the united states had all opportunity in the madison court to make those so called assurances. it's not it simply press them forward. after the last in the menus of court, in general, the united states had given assurances that the they would to treat the

julian fairly. and he would get that treatment and be housed in an adequate to jail and could even server the new sentence if he gets one in australia. all of these so called assurance and have been investigated by human rights organizations such as amnesty international and found that those are some of the worth, the paper they're written on. they are simply not reliable. we are dealing here with a nation where individuals on the top level in the junior, the top level of the cia and in the white house contemplated, kidnapping were killing julian assaults. this is not a case that is being fought on the basis of the law. this is an absolutely try to steal any legal process. this is a political case, and the julian arrest us we have said for many, many years is a political persecution without international the channel. the questions more, thanks the company this weekend. more of the news making headlines,

and after the break, unprecedented tornadoes been wreaking havoc across central and southern parts of the u. s. is left many dead and injured. the join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess all the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then kaiser, financial survival guy. when customers go buy, you reduce the price. now, well, reduce the lower that's under cutting, but what's good for food market? evacuate for the global economy?

for all those driven by dreamers shaped bankers and those with theirs sinks, we dare to ask oh again, devastating storms of ripped through central and southern parts of the us with kentucky suffering some of the worst damage. president biden said the tornadoes could be the most disastrous in american history. will rescue workers of already far more than 40 missing people amid the damage buildings and there are concerns. the number of deaths could exceed andre shelters had been opened with the help of

the red cross, and kentucky's governors declared a state of emergency. his local reporter edgar costa. this is the severe destruction that we can see in many places across different states where several tornadoes have heated, really hard. the worst part here in mayfield, kentucky, the governor of the state announced that 70 people lost their life on these trials . you get the so this has been the most devastating tornado event in our state's history. the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen. satellite far too many homes, that people were likely an entirely devastated this will be, i believe, the deadliest tornado system to ever run through kentucky. the devastation we can see here to see the center. he says something that will take a long time to recuperate. but many people took the streets. we can see lots of citizens that got together to do all. they can wendy's hard time that they face.

well next these images show the remains of what was a candle fight tre hit by a tornado. its roof collapse. authorities say more than a hundreds may have been inside from that storm struck till night is of also told through other parts of the u. s. 6. people are dead in the state of illinois where the roof of an amazon warehouse is brought down during the storm. and in our console, one person's thoughts have been killed and 5 seriously injured. um, for a tornado damaged a nursing home that many others are trumped inside. and the severe weather's also claim to at least full lives in tennessee. there was a shock here in the russian capital on choose day when a man shot dead, 2 people over a dispute. so for wearing a mask,

here's how that unfolded. the the the solution. i knew alexa ross left, we worked together for about 4 months. why was the cloakroom attendant, he was the security guard and he was a kind, hard working man, a good man. there were never any problems with him. and he always told me funny stories and anecdotes i found out earlier today that ambulance isn't police. that we thought it was a bomb threat with. there have been a fire, but we found out that there had been a shooting with dead and wounded. and among the dead, i saw the name of the man i worked with. ah, he pointed the gun at me, but apparently something jumped. he banded against his leg and shut the floor. i

walked over and saw the girl line by reception and shouting, help, please. what's wrong with my legs? the me. what's your minister? i was at my workplace and heard of far alarm as well as a sound similar to gunshots. then i saw a man running towards the exit of the building. at that moment, i made a decision to detain him, and i ran off to him. he resisted arrest. i saw that he was carrying a knife and a firearm. when i was detaining him, i made sure he couldn't use these weapons and neutralized him or reported on this in the week. american journalists are being threatened with massive fines if they work for what are perceived to be the wrong publications to contributors then to a side called the strategic culture foundation of receive stern warnings from the

us treasury. this letter you brought to see was sent to daniela's, michael virchow, both new york based journalists. it says the sci fi on the list of band organizations accused of election meddling, and the us citizens who engage in transactions with the foundation a liable defines of at least $300000.00. dollars a share. this experience with us. it was a warning regarding future articles. so essentially, if i write for sci fi and gauge and any kind of transaction, which i assume means any, an exchange of money i could be had with massive fines that were completely destroy my finances. so i was taken aback, i was, you know, concerned certainly, but actually i stopped writing for the yes since the previous, you know, 4 or 5 months earlier. so i didn't feel personally threatened. but others who, who want to continue writing for s c f for extremely frightened fair. they have all stopped writing for the site because really there's just, it's, you know, it's impossible to,

to battle the us treasury in this kind of case. the us treasury is power is, is, is enormous. and that of a, of an individual freelance journalist as you know, microscopic but some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. so you know, so this is what it's showing effect means they're, they're unwilling to write and they're unwilling even to talk about why they, why they're too afraid to write the threats makeup. part of a targeted sanctions campaign announced by the treasury secretary back in april treasury will target russian leaders, officials intelligence services and their proxies that attempt to interfere in the us electro process or so bertie has democracy. this is the start of a new u. s. campaign against russian line behavior. the u. s. government claims the strategic culture foundation is in fact control by russia's foreign intelligence agency, the s v r. and that is also linked to the russian foreign ministry. while

a foundation denies this and calls itself research platform. but your age and global affairs, either which way doesn't result says a dangerous president, sol, ready? been set. i think of the that the at the s. c. f, the foundation hosts honest journalism. even though i don't, i don't, i don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious. ready journalists, and that is a supporter of a free speech and a free press. i believe that readers should have access to this kind of stuff. and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close it down and therefore trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official us policy, from reaching from reaching audiences, including audiences in the us, to stop journalists from writing for these kinds of websites as a new step. and i think that and i was surprised because because the united states,

in fact has a very good track record on when it comes to a free press. i mean, in america, we can say anything we want. yeah, i can write that with the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden, and not have to worry for a moment about the search secret police crashing through my door. but now things may be changing slightly and it doesn't the order well. for more a new source around the world having now multiple people have been confirmed, killed and numerous. others are still missing from massive gas explosion on the italian island of sicily. that bloss, as you can see, completely destroyed buildings, including homes, emergency services of already pulled out, survivors from the rebel and continuing rescue operations that thousands of strains of rally didn't. sydney and melbourne against vaccine mandates. a new pandemic laws, including those, introduced by korea state premier. daniel andrews demonstrates won't andrews to withdraw an order that requires residence to have had to coven, 1000 jobs,
