[000:00:00;00] ah, the stories that shaped the weak tension spiral after a ship belonging to ukraine's navy approaches russian horses with that authorization. something moscow slammed as a threatening provocation. described as a dark day for journalism during assange supported lash out of the london hi coach . rolling to the lowest possible extradition to the united states. yet another hearing is now needed then to decide his faith. this is not a case that is being fought on the basis of the law. this is an absolute troubles to any legal process. and devastating tornadoes tear through parts of america with more than 85th dead in the state of kentucky alone.

ah, well, i am here now. good morning for russia. my name is kevin. i am ready to dig around the world. thanks for checking in with our teeth world news age q and our weekly our roundup of the big stores we brought over the last 7 days and recap and our 1st off tensions over ukraine ran really high this last week with russia criticizing the west for fuel in the escalation and voicing concern nato's actions in the region, moscow saying it could potentially lead to a large scale conflict. the escalation happened after a ship belonging to the crating and navy approached russian borders without authorization on thursday evening. that was a move that russia regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area. ukraine deny de la allegations and further insisted the ship was an unarmed search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted waters. all posed

a threat. it did eventually change course. frank too was the main topic of discussion between let him approach then joe biden. on tuesday, the u. s. president pointing out what he called, the threatening nature of russian troop movements near the ukrainian border and saying severe sanctions are being drawn up. moscow though in sit sit, can move its troops wherever it wants on its own territory. while saying it's nato that's making the dangerous moves. the cramming, spokes person talk to r t direct about how nato's actions are being regarded here in russia. to just to genetic toys, which his rhetoric is coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning and aggressive invasion. at the same time, no one talks to kirkum or not warns cube against even thinking of a military intervention in the millions mentally dance conflict, no 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 line. second,

they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory want any flooring of all of this is aim to deter russia. yes, we do not like dining room. we will do everything to insure our own interest. while ukraine and the west accused rush of arming, the self proclaimed republics in east in ukraine, the u. s. is openly sending arms to key of washington revealed that 30 javelin anti tank missiles. systems were delivered to your crate in october as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package and a further $200000000.00 or on the table to plus with the ongoing military build upon russia's borders. the g 7 group of advanced economies has threatened russia with a severe response if it attacks ukraine. moscow, though, 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 seems to believe it some yet that 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 the 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, 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 to close and wouldn't respond to ground control. the actions by the u. s. air force created a 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, we can see it through binoculars or the crosshairs of a defense system system. a better one or multiple missile systems just across the it was a bit more to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just

a short distance from on ordering. so in romania, roland bush, granted, my son nathan system has already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive miss austin. single targets was the only takes a matter of manila changed 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, nater 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 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 or bit of the alliance. the de facto start of nature's 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 whoa promises are made to be broken . where is that? where is that written down? where is that from? was written down. and under the rumeliotis friend of mine will enrich current which didn't quantica one us mcmurry degree. 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 and now new and last evening, the ongoing fractions of place, the recently completed no string to gas pipeline under threat. it runs from russia

to germany under the baltic sea and is awaiting its official launch. however, just a few hours ago, the u. s. top diplomat onto the blink and said it's unlikely gas will flow through it now repeating the claim of moscow's aggression against ukraine. i spoke to daniel shaw is a professor at the city university of new york and he questions whether other 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. they 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 that nato, in the us continually encroaches into the black sea into estonia 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. adult day for journalism is how julia sanchez support has reacted than to the british hired colt ruling on friday. that the wiki leagues found that can be expedited to the united states. washington one, it's appeal against a previous decision blocking a son from being sent to america to face trial on espionage charges come pay to slam. the latest move, which was handy done on what was the you ends, 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, saul just been targeted for his contributions to journalism. back in october, those a to day, harry, i was the united states trying 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 are just north of continue to say that he is indeed a suicide risk. and that all of these assurances are meaningless and vague as they put it. they said that the united states can reverse any decision, not any point. class is also concerns about the trustworthiness of america's got routines to pointing to one of those reports in the, in the c i, a i had talked 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 is 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 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. who is a glimmer of hope that you know, the british justice system might actually prevail for once? the british judiciary, this is on every level with the u. s. campaign to get a is 10 years 10 years in the streets of london. public opinion in business side, 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 to another christmas without doing that is children without their dad 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. a diplomatic, now i don't, julian assad be on a just as i did was being announced. i protest even through eggs at this side, directly behind me, which just goes to show the sentiment and feeling here on the streets of london. is a huge box story here,

but to bring to the salient part said most recently in 2019 julia songs was forcibly removed by british police make quitters embassy, london, after the country terminated is 7 years solemn. there, he'd gone there seeking refuge after sexual assaults, allegations, and sweden, which relate to drop the british authorities and arrested them on a separate charge of jumping bail america all this time. once the wiki league found a extradited on claims of conspiring to hat, government computers and publishing classified material. meantime, as sanchez fiance claims, he suffered a stroke during a hearing in october. wikileaks, editor in chief, kristen ham fransen talked to was following fridays, ruling was actually unbelievable. and so i run a decision should be handed on the united nations human rights. the united states had offered unity in the medical court to make those so called, oh, sure, and it's not. it's simply for the food that a lot in the medical court in generally,

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 through the sentence if he gets one in australia, all of these so called assurance and have been and been investigated by human rights organization 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 absolute 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 your with our international the channel. the question is more, thanks for your company. this rarely monday morning and moscow in more than is headlines, then we're coming up after the break. we're recapping unprecedented tornadoes wreaking havoc across from the southern parts. the u. s. has left many dead and injured. we'll bring it later. some shocking pictures come to me. i ah

ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is an offense, very dramatic development, only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult, time time to sit down and talk with ah hi, good morning. devastating still was

a rip through central and southern parts of the us with kentucky suffering some of the worst damage joe biden to night describing it is possibly the most disastrous tornado outbreak in u. s. history. emergency workers will ready rescued. dozens of people amid the damage buildings for there were concerns, the number of deaths could exceed a 100 shelters have been opened with the help of the red cross. and kentucky's governors declared, a state of emergency is local reporter at the acosta. 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 it 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 tonight as the tor, through palms, the u. s. of not only have to pop the destruction, but also political division to a worst. most devastating, most deadly tornado. that history is our home town and it's just devastating everybody's walls. there walls were shaking house collapse in a gas. if you see where the whole house is buckled, the well back side of this house is all total devastation for all town. most of our historic buildings are now golf,

with one of the largest tornado operates in our history. entire towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes, ravaged across 6 that us states the worst affected can. saki needs help support and relief aid. and so it turns to the government and 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 17th senators, who voted against a bill to provide billions of dollars in relief,

will all republicans among them. kentucky's sen, round pull. once again thousands are suffering, but there's 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 deserve the relief, regardless of their furniture. leadership, much of the damage done to 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 as the country real than shock and concerns the 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 impact as a consequence of the 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 in the care. and then no next american billionaires been forced to surround the stolen antiquities that he kept for decades. the curious case of hedge fund pioneer. michael steinhart that shocked archaeologist and historians around the world is collection of plunder. dart is estimated to be worth around $70000000.00. some curious stuff like self. this is a sum of what sir. many people are saying was stolen or smuggle, they include one for instances where $3500000.00 dated batter, 5, b, c. that another rare masterpiece has called the la next

a small chest for human remains with an impressive $1000000.00 price. like then there's, there's rather charming death death masks dated, but a long, long time, 7000 b. c. no stein hard gave up the treasures as part of a deal in the end, which means that he won't face any criminal charges that got a lot of people up in arms. before we talk about that, the origins of where it comes from while it came from until they came from italy, greece, israel, amongst other countries. all robbed, of course, of the cultural heritage along the way. in experts saying the damage inflicted was immeasurable to stubs has been done to the countries of origin. you're looking because sites the main damage is cultural in the sense that we are losing the history of his objects. our common sort of past. and this is the, the biggest can i am that it is being performed by looting on the global level,

the loss of history, the loss of information. while it talks by the controversy, the only hardship from michael steinhardt so was a lifetime baton on acquiring any of this kind of stuff. these relics in future, his lawyer. busy says the collect, very pleased the investigation concluded without any charges, but the public outcry about it was perceived as a remarkably lenient ruling with most respondents to a pole out insisting i got away far too lightly. the just the system in the u. s. was constructed primarily for 2 reasons, punish the poor, protect the wealthy, know jail for the rich and powerful. this country has been sold to the highest bidders, our country's legal system as a joke, stolen 70000000 in art, and no jail time. i remember a guy in louisiana getting 40 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread because he was starving. there is no justice if you're rich, i'm sure there will be unsafe to pick up the case again. my preference would have

been to be pressed saturdays and having possibly a conviction as well. i'm not very happy about the final result. it has demonstrated very clearly that michael stein knew that there were serious problems with the provenance, the collective history that these of the objects he was acquiring, or at least should come, had very, very strong indications about the possibility of being looted as rags for the past stories right now, multiple people confirmed, killed, numerous other still missing of from massive gas explosion on the italian island to sicily. that bloss completely level buildings, including homes, look at it. emergency services of already pulled out survivors from the rebel, at least on the continuing that rescue. operation into the night, thousands of strains of rally didn't sit in the melbourne to against vaccine mandates. a new pandemic law,

including those introduced by victoria state premier. daniel andrews demonstrate to say they want to and who's to withdraw an order that requires residence to have had to coven jobs, went to workplaces, and other venues. po, with the misery less, cheer ourselves up on a julia. no new york's huge santa con event is return for the 1st time since the pandemic with samson club party goers enjoy top the jazz even an egg. no water for drinking comes 1st all socially just in the traditions essentially all day bar crawl with worst away crowds know to get a little chaos can rowdy at times so you can let your head them sometimes such and these gray days we've covered that is the way the week, pun that in some of the top new stories we brought you over the last 7 days here at our to international is world news, age q has been kevin into likes to be with you. thanks for checking in and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

ah, ah ah, many of the school the delta would be the sort of p i get, i could well, you know, going to get a shoulder, any more transmissible than delta and what's happened. you got something which is pop top weighs more than 30 changes in that spike protein that we're all interested in. it's accumulated. all the mutations we've seen in different varies all in one
