doctrines and maintains to say, but task forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job. so should we describe our time, what is the zeitgeist, as they say, do we have a sense of direction and purpose? we also hear a lot about the desire to return to normal. what does that mean? are we actually living in the new normal in the exclusive interview with our t rush is foreign minister says moscow will react to a flagrant attempt by berlin to block ortiz new german language channel. that after year, a pleading satellite provider removes it. at the request of the country's media regulate we cannot tolerate it any longer and we believe is unacceptable. situation will go on. we will have to respond to it. so collateral fair also

questions the impartiality of the ongoing trial into the downing of flight and make 17 nice me crane in 2014 prosecute is demanding life sentences for the suspects, including 3 russian nationals and arrived, rages within the u. s. democratic party, after one of its own senators effectively, torpedoes, j. biden's lavish infrastructure bill in the senate. we look at why is fueling the crisis of confidence among democrats. ah, good afternoon, just gone cray, moscow, you watching archie international and the russian foreign minister. so gay lab role has given r t and exclusive live interview, which he touched upon a range of k world issues. ah,

well, one of the main points mister oliver of disgust visit the removal of our german language channel, archie de, from year of his main satellite network provider. it happened moments before the interview and the navy came at the request of germany's media regulator. mr. avar of slammed the action against the channel, which only began broadcasting last week in won't say that it was unacceptable behavior on the part of berlin, and that there will be consequences will not conditional just the wasn't ago, we have been tempted to respond similarly. but until recent times, we were convinced that we do not want to follow the same path and tried to put pressure on media to follow suit with a western partners. but you know the same thing with russian security. we cannot tolerate it any longer. and we believe if this unacceptable situation will go on, we will have to respond to it inside or for some context. here are t d. e faced a barrage of resistance and allegation, since it launched last thursday,

is the keys of not having the necessary documentation to broadcasting hear me. but i think management the say it's license was obtained in accordance with all european laws and regulations. the channel was also taken off few cheap, the very day was launched, and technically there's no connection between that and the german t v broadcast dispute. but at the time and official for a german media watchdog did say the new channel would be taken care of. this is our theme statement in response to the latest ease. to day, the german regulator forced european settlers service util. set 9 to remove the broadcast of our when you must go based german language channel, artie deutsch from its platform. it is an appropriate for the german regulator, m a b b to overreach, and ignore the european convention or trans frontier television under which it is subject, thereby forcing util sat to remove assay deutsch from the carrier solely due to the

unsubstantiated and factually flawed claims of the german regulator, we believe this amounts to legal pressure and our confident this action will be redressed by the courts. we will be seeking all possible remedies against the german regulator and our audience can continue to access our content across multiple platforms and online. there isn't it happening is because nobody wants competition and we obviously are getting more and more popular. and the online service that we had in germany was phenomenal. a successful i should say. and naturally, no one likes competition. and that's fair for me. we all want to compete, well, trying to compete, trying to win our orders. the problem is that we want to do it perfectly legally. and wet, absolutely, sure. earn. we consulted with our international lawyers that everything don was exactly according to the existing laws and regulations. each new channel is getting

more and more resistance, which is almost like getting a metal. because that means we are getting more and more successful. they see you see us as more and more of a competition, but of course they claim something which is totally ridiculous that this is not being produced here in moscow. but you know, that's been user room is right across across the corridor. you know, the newsroom is here and this to those here and the broadcasting facility, his hair and german regulator is trying to persuade us this is all fictitious. we are available through many other options. i don't want to name them all, but there are, there was a number of options for people who want to know the alternative news. and sometimes what we believe is a more accurate version of many events and then what they get from the german mainstream media. we will fight legally, and i'm quite sure that we will get the possibility to bring our version of events, which is 2, legitimate to which we are totally entitled to our viewers in germany,

as well as in all other countries as well as trotting the plan that we've used was not a plan a unfortunately we're not able to use the plan a that we use the plan be that we didn't to work to. and we are going to dispute that in a court of law with another country. so now we're going to plan d and plan e. we have many of them, but one thing is certain people who want to know the different side and want to know the events of the truth that is not being brought by some mainstream german media. have the possibility to do that to do that, and we'll try to help them as much as we can. okay, let's get more on this now and talk with the political ominous christ bambrow who joined just good afternoon. he, chris, i know this story in terms of legalities is pretty complicated, but at 1st glance, does this look like it's a political action is so it seems like the supposed collection,

the new germany government has already taken much more belligerent stance in relation to russia than itself, peter says on the angel merkel, i've fallen more into line with the wishes united states, and it's french and job bad british british allies. i think this is going to be an interesting case in the course because as, as i understand it with the media regulator in germany saying it's artie deutsch has not got a license to operate from germany. but as was said, the studios are in moscow where the app programs are made. and it's been a been note from serbia, which is part of the european convention. so, so you dies alone. that is part. we were just up to what they are trying to do is create acacia is, is it, it doesn't, it's not broadcasting from germany and it doesn't require a license in germany. it's got the requisite european of paperwork to be able to

do these broadcasts. so this going to be an interesting case, but i also think it's so obvious that from the very beginning, every obstacle has been made to stop auntie deutsch operating. you could have problems that bank account be banned from youtube and know it being removed from utah state, which the most popular platform in germany and much of easter eastern europe. so this is quite serious, a low, it's not a fatal woods are t, as we said, there's other platforms. other ways might require sousa, as soon as you have been since, you know, i mean, the anti management insist that it has obtained a license legally. it has all the proper paperwork if it, if it turns out that that is the case. i mean this, this whole episode set a dangerous precedent in any way. well, it says dangerous president of the german court on hold this time and that remains to be seen. but if archie management crate in the half got the legitimate people log, as i say built, it translates through serbia,

which is part of the european convention. you're being well bench is much wider than a european union that i can't see how the german court can rule in favor of this or at this back. but of course, we shall see it in the hands of judges and queries. there's going to be a war pressure from german ruined circles, not least the government to try and keep the station of the eel. reason being i think was the would it to is the don't want, i'll turn to approach the news, the broadcast in germany. and obviously i, there's a strong show of the german population are very keen to get a different version of the news while they're being paid by the mainstream media into, in a separate development. but obviously they are related, i mean our c, d, e was taken a few changes a couple of days ago when it launched them. the g think has been any pressure from washington hair. did you see any sort of connection or something that should be investigated? i would not be surprised. this is precious to washington. i mean, your germany is a needle ally,

but it's displeased americans in the past for not being hard enough on russia. angela, the angel merkel gotten, was teen to retain economic links with russia. not waste a gas, a gas applies coming in from the, from the pipeline. know, the new german administration is much more open to influence from more from washington. so i'm sure there's, we know your official intervention in that sense, but it requires a few words from germany, american diplomats from american spy, our source, whatever, in order to, to shift opinion in berwin. i'm sure that's going on because soft power is today a crucial part of the so called war we are see to bill washington and moscow once again. and why do you think we see then so much pressure on our tea network? certainly at the moment when i say at the moment you only have to go, you know, look back a couple of years 3 years ago, and it's always been a, it seems. but why is there this concern from the west about artie?

you're right about this is suffered problems in britain for instance, as well. i think there is concerned and it's, it's not just a, a competitor, but it is on terms of voice. and there is a section of the population in western europe and eastern europe, who are looking for an alternative to mainstream media outlets like the bbc and you're shooting in to wisant programs from auntie and other operators as well. and c, t t, anchor china, our which also may be facing outpatient programs. i was the one that alternative, you know, the allegation of course repeated way is, is aunty is there is interference in our tea program from the russian government, or it's a direct most beach of the russian. i, russian young. i think you have to count that by saying, you know, the bbc for in service is funded by the british government is not entirely neutral . you know, i have seen reports which are put my hair and ends with on the big steamer is clue it. bias not wasting issues like this course independence rep read what all media

outlets have a degree. oh, you might call it biased. you might to a viewpoint and different world events that differ. if we're going to go down the road of shutting down operators because of, they are pretty afford a point of view. we wish you would disagree with all you're going to start accuse them of bias. this can be very few television stations. we will be able to watch 0 be shut out. so i think here we're getting a very dangerous situation where this is showing our alternative media with a growing audience from people who are very skeptical about what they see in the bdc. we will now listen to fox news or other mainstream media. okay, chris, are good to tell you this afternoon, we're going to leave it there. that was chris banbury. pisca lanissa speaking as speaking to us there from london. thank you. but apart from our teach german channel being cut off from the european satellite network, much attention was devoted to the escalating tensions ting between russia and nato

. mister lebrun says moscow has lost trust in the west. notice that he will be out on a monday. they've lived to us on a regular basis from oral pledges to even political obligations enshrined in the russian nato political act. so this time as president, food in fed, we won't have legally binding guarantees. at the same time, we understand that the west can violate such guarantees as well if it wants to. it was a very in depth interview. i'm here in a very studio where to play so beats and a lot reduced format. mr. abra covered a real her spectrum of salient, international and topics of the day from the presence of foreign troops, us troops and syria, to the ongoing nuclear negotiations in iran. the main focal point, know, as we said, was that escalation, the ongoing crisis on the russia, ukraine border, and that's been very much a focal point of much west media. those allegations of thousands of russian troops massing on the ukraine border allegations level moscow. this is in preparation for

some sort of intervention or conflict. miss lava was very clear to say that this is not something that moscow seeks or wants that russia moscow. once these issues can be resolved through daughter going through the strengthening or when fashionable institution such as the when and other organizations. and he really warned against the danger all the return or ra, returning towards a might, is right. balance of power in the wilder insisting that dialogue is key and not just dialogue, but also putting any sort of agreements that you sort of dialogue in writing. in some sort of legal framework and that was something we still focused on very much. and when we touched upon the expansion of nato eastwood's, mr. novel of mention, russia, moscow does see the presence of nato military native military. the expansion went eastwards as a threat to its security and the west has to understand that that is the topic of

concern for russia out of the compromise has to be reached if the relation that is to happen. but he was at the silly globes of us to prove the heads of states and governments have clearly states that no participants of the o s. c, e should insure the security by damaging security of others. so when yen stalsen berg made this high brow and arrogant statement that no one can reach the principal, the washington treaty in accordance with which doors are open for any candidate wishing to accede to nato, we can say that we are not party to this organization. we have not signed this treaty, but we have signed a broader pan regional euro atlantic documents that includes the principle of indivisible security. and if you install somebody believe the nato members can ignore this principle that is enshrined in their documents, adopt the highest level, then perhaps it is indeed time for him to get a different job because he does not perform his functions very well. he called for the formalization within the legal framework to prevent that expansion eastwards, and that

a recent discussions had been actually quite positive that washington had listened to moscow's concerns. and at least a dialogue was happening. so at least that something positive to take away from these tensions which have been rising over the last few weeks than hawkins then, i mean while prosecute is in the netherlands, have ended their arguments. in the case of malaysian airlines flight and age 17 that was damned avery some ukraine in 2014 killing or 298 people on board. they are demanding life sentences for the for suspects including 3 russian nationals. 12 rushes for a minister has once again voice moscow's concerns about bias in the investigation. just monumental, assumes a plot system were closely following the case because it's about russian citizens who defendants at this stage of the trial were surely conceive you attempt to create an impression that it's a problem of the state rather than a criminal case. that is completely unacceptable. it should be considered a criminal process in lattice murder garcia joins me misty and i to discuss the

trial a bit further and good afternoon. we're add mr. leverett, they're pointing out to discrepancies in the case. what exactly has he highlighted was 7 and a half years on or after a trial that has seeped with politics for its duration. or prosecutors have arrived at their version of events. they have now put forward charges against the full suspects that they believe are responsible. 3 of them, russian citizens, one of them are ukranian citizen. only one of them was represented in court by the way, by my lawyers. but this is, this is a trial that had an agenda from the onset. and this is something that multiple states have said including malaysia, which are for years has said this that they were excluded from the trial because they weren't on board with the agenda. they said that early on that there was a very, very clear, we saved

a very clear angle to the investigation as to the trial. and that was to blame, rush to shove all responsibility on russia. and now the ver arrived at the conclusion that these full suspects were responsible for, shooting down and lead 17, with a book, a missile that was supplied from abroad. this late process. they, for it, we demand the suspects are convicted each individual for the joint shooting down of an aircraft which caused the death and murder of o $298.00 people on board to life in prison. even if the suspects did not intend the consequences of their actions, those consequences still count for their sentence. thank how they arrived at this conclusion is a story in that of itself. because there has been a lot of outrage about some of the evidence that they have taken taken on board. look, they've, they included from the onset ukraine was included in investigation invited,

alter the joint investigative team despite the fact that ukraine itself was at, at the time a suspect. and a large part of the case is built on testimony from ukraine, which includes audio recordings provided by ukraine, secret services, or audio recordings of the alleged suspects. apparently talking about the jet again from the onset they was suspected of being manipulated. the recordings, multiple forensic experts came out to say the same thing that they were doctors. they were edited and words were put in place and moved, moved around. but again, ukraine's evidence was taken on board while a slew of evidence for provided from her from other sources. was it again, the case was built much and her testimony from social media post. the witnesses were but kept secret, their identities anonymous. there was also the fact that for years now, the, the, the, the quote, the j, i t joint investigative team, a vos,

the united states that provide an absolutely crucial piece of evidence. and that is satellite footage for, from the area from the day. the incident took place to make sure that there was that there was this book miss out launcher on site. the united states for years now has refused multiple times to provide those satellite shots are full for the investigation. and was also an incident in which dutch m. p. 's themselves will f, flabbergasted. after reading a report that says ukraine couldn't have known, there was a threat to civilian aircraft in the area, despite the fact that just days earlier, a ukrainian military play was shot down. the, the last of about a dozen in the area at her at hides that were, that were dangerous for civilian aircraft, a passage of jail. and these, combined with all the evidence that was rejected by the, by the prosecutors,

has led many to believe that indeed there was bias floated us. that was useful that are growing new girlish through. there are large number of discrepancies, impartial, judicial process, rule violations, examination of witness breaches. witness is a classified including the one who could bring facts, ignored by the investigation to light. the fact that the defense attorneys request has been rejected without any explanation says a lot. they also ignored the allmers on takes parents which proved that investigation statement on the mistletoe abused is unfounded. russian ministry of defense provided the documents confirming that the missile was produced in 1986 given to one of the ukrainian military units and stayed there until it was used. all this information was ignored, authorial and again, despite all the controversy all over the missing details about the, the me, sol, itself, where the launcher was, who controlled the launcher at the time. whether it was on the ukrainian side,

on the, on the rebels side, all of those questions remain well classified. the answers to those questions were made. main classified for now we don't know a lot about the decision making process in the prosecution. nevertheless, the defense is due to speak in march and we are waiting for a verdict towards the end of next year. okay, well, thank sir for that update. anyway, m order that was art is more against it now in fighting has broken act within the u . s. democratic party after one of its own senators, tip the balance in the senate by refusing to vote in favor of jo biden's, near tea, trillion dollar billed back, better bill joe manchin immediately dri. fury from the white house. as his move is seen as a fatal blow to the president's flagship plan, although apparently not by biden himself, do you believe the other mentioned word you hadn't tried your adventure legislation

. some people think maybe i'm not irony. please hold a grudge book. i want to get things done. i still think there's a possibility. can you feel back better, john? i went by and it's the man phase that did paved the way for further rift in american politics with the democratic party now facing a crisis of confidence. possibly, taylor has more mat by didn't promise to build back baxa. but that long time friend joe mansion went to fox news and blew up the president's campaign promises. and i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. i just can't. i've tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there. you're done. this is, this is a no. this is a no. and with it it seems his whole party. we all knew that send or mention couldn't be trusted in, you know, the, the excuses that he just made i think, are complete and let bristle america to explain to the people of west virginia why

he doesn't have the guts to say about the powerful special ed what senator mentioned did yesterday represents such an increased breach of the trust the president. and it's also, you know, this is exactly why it's an outcome that we had warned about. we have been saying this for weeks that this would happen and we took the hits, our leadership needs to step up. now politics and finger pointing, go hand in hand, nothing new, right? well, not quite because while it's tradition for the reds and blues to spit to each other across the aisle, here, if the democrat spitting, i didn't chopper, i didn't even take that much, just one man one veto. and it all came down. what made mansions, treachery, aldermore, unforgivable, was that he was biden's body. a friendly face will say that from the president's viewpoint and i saw him this morning. he's worked with senator mansion over the course of decades. they share fundamental values, their longtime friends,

that has not changed. that's how anything biden's policies are apparently become long time friends, decades of shared values. and mansion still broke rank even though p, the loyalist, even though billed back, battle was biden's baby. and even though he knows that without the bill, the midterms may be a bloodbath. if we could get the bill back better plan past, democrats will have a strong possibility of at least keeping the senate. it's tough, it's a tough reality. in today's america, where it's party above all mansions, vito spells trouble for biden, and it really couldn't have come out. it was time the afghanistan withdrawal on the con, caring through the us. hi, petra price says a supply chain still in crisis record inflation on a historically low popularity rating of just 41 percent. at a time like this, you need your people move and that's why you need a rallying cry. what does bite and have

a party embroiled in fighting his signature legislation in the dot and now defecting democrats with rumors that is just the tip of the iceberg member, we had an individual reregister from democrats, republicans, and i think there are a few other democrats out there that are thinking about it, why not because they've changed, but the party has changed with what appears to be a crisis of confidence in this changed party. the last thing the democrats can afford is a crisis of confidence in the president himself, but looks like that's exactly what they've got, who the real president, it is country joe mentioned joe biden, man and wife for the con charlemagne. i realize it's job by chance. no, no, no, no, no, it's joe biden, which quite frankly, probably came as news to biden himself. but, oh, kid, the side of course president harris, the proud howard alone. okay, but kidding aside, the democrats got handed the keys to success. they took over from the country,

moved divisive president, they took control of both the house and senate, and yet here, just 11 months on their in disarray. when the president probably looking on and thinking that maybe instead of building back better, it might be worth building back a paul t. that seems to have lost its way. as you know of a society is already split. it is growing, spring like daily is growing, almost both part is here in america is a break up within the democratic party and in the leadership of president vine house. hasn't made it in a battle. they are running afraid they know the elections coming up to mid turning 2022 and therefore they may lose that. and this one right thing is shows a lot of hypocrites within the democratic party. i think the democrats know they are a fight all their lives. they have all been so ralph crab, a cane so radical that they have moved far away from the main stream of america. what american people want, and they know it's going to be

a fight for their life. they only all white house and they own the congress and the senate, and they have been unable to get to be back better program together and get it class because it actually bankruptcy for america. that's what it stands for. you watching out international thanks to company this afternoon. just come into half 3 . moscow will from us at the top of yeah ah ah and so it begins 2 weeks of our christmas and new year's the specials, in which we look back in the year. that was and parents in the future with some of our roster of amazing guests, all heterodox thinkers,
