ah, ah, the stories that shaped the wake tension spiral after a ship belonging to ukraine's navy approaches russian walters without authorization . something moscow slammed as a threatening provocation. describes a dark day for chin, isn't purely massage supported, lash out at the london high court ruling to allow as possible extradition to the united states. yet another hearings now needed them to decide his faith. this is not a case that is being thought on the basis of law. this is an absolute travis to you . any legal grosses and devastating tornadoes tear through parts of america with more than 75th dead in the state of kentucky alone. ah,

oh, where are we watching? run the will. good morning from russia. it's kevin over here in ortiz world news age key with the weekly a round of the big stories. we brought you over the last 7 days just to midnight when i 1st the intentions of ukraine ran real high this week with russia criticizing the west for fueling, the escalation and voicing concern nato's actions in the region. moscow saying it could potentially lead to a large scale conflict, while the escalation happened after ship belonging to the ukranian navy approached russia waters without authorization on thursday evening, a move that russia regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area. ukraine at the time denied all allegations and insisted the ship was an unarmed search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted waters. all posed any threat. and he did eventually change course to ukraine was also the main topic of conversation between vladimir putin and joe biden. on tuesday, the u. s. president pointed out what he called the threatening nature of russian

troop movements near the ukrainian border and said severe sanctions were being drawn up. moscow, though incessant, couldn't move its troops wherever it walks on its own territory while saying its nato. that's making the dangerous moves the kremlin spokesperson talked to r t about how nate has actions have been regarded here in russia. and his student id toyota is, which is rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive and we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning and aggressive invasion. at the same time, no one talks to keir from, a non warns cube against even thinking of a military intervention in the dns mentally dance conflict. now millenniums toneta shown to marcy, now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. first, they all say they don't accept any red lines on 2nd. they say that nato will do whatever it wants revert. it will do it on whatever territory want any florida that all of this is aimed to deter rushing it. we do not like dining. we will do everything to insure our own interests. while ukraine in the west accused russia

then of arming the self proclaimed republics and eastern ukraine, the u. s. many times openly sending arms to key f. washington revealed that 30 javelin anti tank missiles systems were delivered to ukraine in october, as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package and the further $200000000.00 on the table too . and with the ongoing military build up on russia's borders, then on top of that, the g 7 group advanced economies as threatened russia with a severe response. if it attacks ukraine, moscow throw out denies any plans of invasion and insist sits nato that poses a threat to russia by expanding further east, closer to its borders. but the white house believes it seems that only it has the right to draw the line. yes, oh, of course the diplomacy is out and red lines are there 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 russia's borders. passenger jets with hundreds of civilians on board. diverted because a nato re complain was to close on 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 the shows was nature, you know, a us warships has now entered the block c. and when we can see it through binoculars will the crosshairs of other than system the system. a better one or multiple missile systems just across the face. it would it be possible to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just a short distance from our borders. in romania, holland bush planting, 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 distribution. 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 expanded 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. wel, that's berlin. so no, it's not an inch. it's over a 1000 kilometers. and now it's knocking at 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 gas out of jail free card because in politics, well promises are made to be broken. where is that? where is that written down? where is that from? was written down. and under the rumor, this friend of mine will enrich current that you didn't call erica, want us not to go in. in the meantime, the u. s. unfazed by it's terrible track record of predicting russian behavior is covering its bases and drawing up some economic sanctions. you know, just in case now something new, the ongoing frictions have placed. the recently completed nord stream to pipeline, under a threat, it runs from russia to germany and of the baltic sea and is awaiting his official launch. but just hours ago, the u. s. top diplomatic mc blanket said it's unlikely gas will flow through it, repeating the claim of moscow's aggression against ukraine. i suppose daniel shaw

is professor at the city university of new york. he questions whether a good countries would be allowed to behave like america does. this is part of the ramping up of economic, military and diplomatic pressure on russia. it's nato in the us that continue to encroach upon rushes borders. the absolute hypocrisy that's on display here with blinking and biden's threats to try to cripple the rushing economy. imagine if it was russia surrounding the united states, the way the nato in the us continually encroaches into the black sea into his stony into ukraine. so ukraine is the latest justification to continue this new cold war . this new global class struggle was really behind. this is fear in us ruling circles of a sovereign strong russia. this was

a huge story in the week a dark day for journalism is how june in the sun just support has reacted to the british high court ruling on friday that we can leave found that can be extradited to the u. s. washington. one. it's appealed against a previous decision blocking his sons from being sent to america to face trial and espionage charges. campaign is slammed. the latest move, which was handed done 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 assault has been 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, julia sanchez 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 them. speaking outside the high court here this morning, we've heard from stella morris to partner who's incredibly disappointed and she is 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, how this decision on this day to have one of the foremost the foremost publisher journalist of the past, 50 years in

a u. k. prison, accused of publishing the truth about or crimes about cia kill 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 10 years 10 years in the streets of london, public opinion, and this one has 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, without doing that is children without their dad at home. stay on the fight to free . judy massage. that's what i say. we will prevail eventually many people outside

the 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. out about the matter. now, i spoke with julian on america once the wiki legs found the extradited on claims of conspiring to her government computers and publishing classified material. meantime, a sanchez fiance claims the suffered a stroke during a hearing, an october wikileaks editor in chief, kristen ha, france and talked to him, following fridays ruling was actually unbelievable. 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's simply press them forward. after the last in the menus of court,

in general, the united states had given assurances that they would to treat the julian fairly. and he would get that treatment and be housed in an adequate jail and could even serve new sentence if he gets one in australia. all of these so called assurance and have been and been investigated by human rights organizations such as amnesty international. and i found that the last 6 months worth of 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 travesty of 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 the international the channel. the questions more thanks. she company in the more of the news making headlines and after the break, unprecedented tornadoes have been recon hub across the southern part of the us is left many dead and injured will bring you the latest. ah ah ah ah ah ah

a ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, his on offense, very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk oh again. thanks for checking in. so devastating storms have ripped through central and southern parts of the u. s. with kentucky suffering. some of the worst damage

emergency workers have already rescued more than 40 missing people amid the damage buildings for their all concerns, the number of deaths could exceed a 100 shelters, have been opened up with the help of the red cross. and kentucky's governors declared a state of emergency his local reporter at good cost of 1st. 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 the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen. satellite far too many homes, that people were likely an entirely devastated the devastation we can see here in the city 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 with the tornadoes, the tore through,

pops the u. s. of not only left to policy destruction, but also political division to thing worst, most devastating, most deadly tornado event in kentucky. history there's our hometown and it's just devastating. everybody's off there. walsworth shaking. house, collapsing, gas. do you see where the whole house is buckled? the little backside of this house is all total devastation for all town most for historic buildings are now gone. ah, with

this is likely to be one of the largest tornado operates in our history. entire towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes, ravaged across thick us states. the worst affected can. saki needs help support and relief aid. and so it turns to the government, i'm fellow americans, but politics, it's politics. and it seems not even a monumental disaster, like this one can bridge america's political divide. and some believe it's a perfect opportunity to show that you reap what you sow. when hurricane harvey's hit in 2017, the 17 senators who voted against a bill to provide billions of dollars in relief. all republicans among them, kentucky's sen, round pole. once again, thousands are suffering,

but there is no time like the present for political punches. we should do all we can to help our kentucky neighbors. god be with them for hurting, but do not for one second. forget that rand paul has voted against helping most americans, most times. very neat. we know, rand paul is a heartless hypocrite. the people in kentucky dissolved the relief regardless of their furniture. leadership, much of the dams dont use this against him and his party in the future. it is a missed opportunity for some next, not even off limits to suggest that if you vote read, then you had it coming, vote for climate change deniers and see what happens. tornadoes in december are rad, that when the climate change was a factor is not clear at this point, still is the country real than shock and concerns over climate change peak. it could also play into the democrats hands as they bid to push a $1.00 trillion dollar climate package through the senate. all i know is that the

intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of a warm animal planet and the climate change. and so it seems something as devastating as this can only wet the appetite for those looking to score political points. american journalists are being threatened with massive fines if they work for what a perceived me the wrong publications case appointment to contributors to a site called the strategic culture foundation of receive stern warnings from the us treasury. this letter was sent to don eliza. mike lever co, they're both new york based journalists. it says the s c f is on a list of banned organizations accused of election meddling. and that's us. citizens who engage in transactions with the foundation are liable to fines of at least get this $300000.00. johnny lazar shed his experience 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 a, 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 the f works dreamily 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 is always 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 shilling. 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 threat to make part of a targeted sanctions campaign announced by the treasury secretary back in april, treasury will targets 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 maligned behavior. the u. s. government claims the strategic culture foundation is in fact controlled by russia's foreign intelligence agency. the s and that is also linked to the russian foreign ministry. the foundation denies this and calls itself a research platform about you raising global affairs. but daniel, is us as a dangerous precedent. so ready been set? i think that the that the at the s c f, the foundation hosts honest journalism. even though out i don't, i don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious. ready journalists and that as a supporter of a free speech in 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 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, you know, i can write the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden and not have to worry for a moment about a, the search secret police crashing through my door. but now things may be changing slightly, and it doesn't or go, well, what does it bring you? 3 more world headlines in brief, before i leave you for this,

multiple people have been confirmed, killed, numerous, others still missing from massive gas explosion on the italian island of sicily. look at that. the blast completely destroyed. buildings including people's homes, emergency services of already pulled out, survivors from the rebel and that rescue operation continues into the night. thousands of strains have rallied in sydney and melbourne against vaccine mandates . a new time to make laws, including those introduced by the tourist. daniel andrews demonstrate to say, they want to withdraw an order that requires residence to have had to code the jobs, to into workplaces and the other venues. to julian of new york's huge santa corners and returns the 1st time in the since the pandemic with the santa clad party go is enjoying talk de jason, even an egg nog, more to full drinking contest. what does that look like? the traditions essentially an old, a bar crawl with was for where crowds just sometimes getting
