ah who doesn't then lay what he wants the carries. it is obedient and you must do it immediately. presentation lashes out at night. stacy's but expansion, as he answers questions during his annual news briefing. he will say responds to questions too about the energy crisis. and i think europe's paying record price is off the ditching affordable gas contract with the network, but not with the european commission. we want to lose money in the market breaking

it well. he has always regulated that's where the 2000 dollars, 1000 meters. you're welcome. also to come, the u. s. says chaos awaits the world without its leadership, despite many countries, still reaping the consequences of american involvement. and we report say for more 20 fi at this, our claims of fate use and bias in west and the media is being playing for, exacerbating the term. ah, i just going 7 pm in moscow, you're watching artie international. now the annual end of year media briefing by the russian president vladimir tatum has wrapped up. it lasted for more than 4 hours. artes more ghastly. it brings us the key points. this is an opportunity for jordan some all manner of outlets small, large internationals,

had to gather together and to ask, puking, ah, the most pressing questions that they have. but that includes a journalist from small provincial outlets in russia. people forget, have vos russia is a levin. time zone that spans and there's a lot of questions the journalists want to ask. so we heard questions ranging from from issues with mortgages and provincial towns to big hitting questions. lou did questions even from foreign journalists, asking vladimir putin if he can guarantee that russia won't attack you crave. so will you guarantee unconditionally that you will not invade ukraine or any other southern country i should use terrible diseases? erections will not depend on negotiations that will depend on unconditional compliance with russia. security, in the sense we've made it clear that any further movement to the east in resolving is out so that it were not renting anyone when it comes to the u. s. a. u. s

borders know they came to our going to love in italy you there was a natal guarantee in 1990. so what became of that, they fooled us. we've seen 5 waves of nato expansion and keep demanding some guarantees from us. you must give us the guarantee it is on as a hearing, and you must do it immediately. right now, instead of talking about here for decades, he also spoke about the other thing that russia has been charged with a suspected of manipulating. that is the guy gas market in, in europe. he says, well, what we're hearing from various outlets is basis and senseless. germany, for example, is buying gas at $57.00 times below market price. we're and then they're using that gas to perhaps celadon, to poland, which is paying an entirely different price because it insisted on trading with russia at market prices. now, the gases or the above $2000.00, while e, these ruinous ruined for both you citizens who have seen their household built for

electricity go up for $500.00. the said, ruinous also for businesses which year which are seeing an even larger rise. the rule to remain with by it and look, they are lying to us. they're confusing. every one gets promised. shipping the entire volume requested by its counter agents in accordance with the exist and contrast, they're even increasing the volume by around 20 percent. they're increasing shipments to europe in, i believe the gas from is the only company, little that the u. s. suppliers and not supplying the european market enough europeans these i think they had premium market with that they were left behind when you were talking about lingering quite natural gas. americans are transferring their shipments to the premium markets to latin america, brazil, china, south korea, from japan. and the prize champion was saying, we must not destroy long term contracts, but no, yahoo said the european commission, we must use mardi terms or the market will regulate it. well, here's how is regulated, at least we have $2000.00. 1000 that had been meters of you're welcome to the other

thing that popped up here was us you of recent scandals and russia involving jails . prisons and the torture of suspected inmates by prison authorities. these were both, both incidents were most shocking because there was graphic footage of it happening . there are more cases where we haven't seen footage. this is something that has been a so potent among russians for, for many years. and let me put in with us what is being done about this. he said that the, the russian government is taking action. there are a number of criminal proceedings against her former prison institution, the staff members, as well as the fact that peter, this is a problem only in russia. this is a problem in even in developed countries, had it is very difficult to put an end to it. of them solution in this case is necessary festival to rely on the dates of the investigation. the 17 criminal cases

have been initiated and being under investigations. you've named only one or 2 people, but there are a 1000 or more than a 1000 dismissed in their criminal cases opened again. so yes, there is a problem we need to work with. it's a milan or conscientious fully fledged investigation of those crimes. and these are clearly crimes that have been committed, them will to bring it to an end so that everyone understands that punishment for these offences is inevitable to play. i was lucky enough also to be able to ask vladimir putin question. my question was about canceled culture, them phenomena you as well as my woocommerce that heavy so pervaded west and politic, sometimes in very extreme forms. for example, for example, the incident with with j. k. rowling, and how the axes that she made famous with her harry potter movies have turned against and asked flood we're putting what he thinks about the social justice culture and whether it is coming to russia as so. bill is negotiable. obviously, the peculiarity and strength of, or millennial society, lies in the fact that russia has evolved as

a multinational and multi confessional state. and we've learned to respect each other. and this means to respect the basis of our traditional spiritual culture on him and other peoples of the russian federation of a certain internal moral protection against such a retrogression as they can well, this must be foreigner or direct instructions and shouts caught by the support of our traditional law, he acknowledged not the biggest crowd that attendance today because of her pandemic safety measures there's social distancing in effect here. there's a mass mandatory masts, of course, there was also humidifiers and all sorts of antiseptics, breast inaction today, but they were much bigger crowds and previous years. nevertheless, this, the session lasted for fear for 4 hours, 3 hours, 56 minutes. i believe though, people defer on how long. exactly. and this is this year's vladimir prudence press conference for mr. payton did answer 55 questions entitled during that press conference. and one of them was on the recognition of afghanistan's new authorities

earlier as elk santa boycott gave me more details on that. it's a question now for there was but for the united nations because there are a couple of, uh, resolutions dot recognized taliban as, as a terrorist organization or as an organization involved in terrorist activities. and for that to be removed, that there has to be an international consensus and actually looks like this consensus, me and maybe within the range. because for all the disagreements, i found, the ukrainian issue of the russian authorities has happened quite constantly to re, the reason why the russians have sorta played along with this new situation is that they believe that they regional consensus will be much household in if not bringing peace to afghanistan down. this is making sure that you know tar written thousands for beyond its borders and bigger goal would be to how the eurasia sort of to do

raise the center of erasure. are from the poles there. you have a nice china and want to pull, you have rush on the other pull. you have india there as well. so there is a hold that the, the local players, regional players, kennedy, of not supporting various quasi actors there that perhaps a few times the limitations can calm down and develop according to the local customs transitions. and you know, social conditions rather than trying to build something that could not be supported from, from the grassroots. he also talked to question about anti russian sentiment. let's just listen to what he said about that document. but i did go over what's going on is the creation of an end to rush or on the territory with a constant companion of weapons and a brain washing of the population. you might to rush to constantly live with this, with an eye on what you're working with in your cover of weapon systems. how can

radical has been pushed to resolve the issue and don't measure those in a military. he clearly sees the conflict in the ukraine as a consequence of the sustained take. his long attempt to contain russia. as he put it, he strongly feel that there is a strong tendency in the west to try to mass up with russians development or china development. and it was once again calling for putting it aside and allowing each country to develop in accordance with its own history and culture, its own value system, its own goals and its own abilities. but we spoke political on this rain a rough 1st. he says, west does need to take rushes offer of dialogue seriously. for russia, this is a really crucial issue and the west should understand that point president putin is making when he says that the further what expansion of nato is

a red line for russia. because he has, of course, the 1st duty to protect the geopolitical interest of his country, which are also legitimate security interest. what we have seen in the last years was a very dangerous escalation of relationships. i mean, the war of faction between east and west have harmed a lot of the economy above all in parts of europe. and therefore, we should immediately return to dialogue and to find reliable solutions because the 5 past east, what expansion, what use of nato, of course, have undermined any trust that russia may have had into nato promises. this is an offer that the west should take serious the u. s. a. you have made 1st. that's also in entering into dialogue,

and the european union would be well advised to get on board and solve this problem immediately. and in harmony with russia, the future, the world without the american leadership might be grim and chaotic. according to the secretary's state, anthony blink and dantes nicky. erin has been finding out there are quite a few countries reeling in the aftermath of washington's help. have you ever wondered what the well, it might be like without the united states k off. that's what it thinks when we're not engaged. when we don't lead, then one or 2 things happen. either some other country tries to take our place, but probably not in a way that advances our interests and values or no one does. and then you get chaos . yes, the us have used is magic cut to bring peace and harmony to many a state far and wide. one fine example operation enduring freedom,

better known to you and i as the us invasion of afghanistan. following the september, the 11th attack, the u. s. entered the country with a mission to hunt down the summer. been logged in and punish the taliban government to the law. most of the country since $996.00, the promise was one of retribution, the goodies to faith and bodies. we must rid the world of terrors, or children and grandchildren can grow up in freedom. we are not nation building again. we are killing terrorists me in the, in the

they call it collateral damage to you and i. that's the innocent people in the wrong place at the wrong time when 10 civilians, including 7 children, were killed in an air strike. the military initially defended it only a month later, did they acknowledge it was a tragic mistake, and yet none of the military personnel involved will face any kind of punishment. then consider the hundreds of other similar cases exposed by wikileaks. in reality, the kind of peace, the u. s. has brought to the country, has left its people so terrified, they've run for their lives and the 6000000 off guns. i've either been displaced internally or have fled the country altogether. fueling a refugee crisis that continues to reverberate across europe. by the time it withdrew, it had become america the longest war, and yet in its wake, it left an alarming new threats, a washing money out of with

no money to go on with then that iraq, as america ended his time in afghanistan, it's next step was to announce the end of active combat for its troops in iraq. though the picture won't change too much, some $2500.00 service members will remain on the ground even in the coming year. it was 2003 when the us approach the you went to make the case for invading iraq, citing saddam hussein stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. and we will remember how that ended, and yet more than a 1000000 rockies are estimated to have lost their lives as a result, along with thousands of american troops and the outcome, widespread sectarian violence and the rise of islamic state. and then there's syria,

after humming and hiring the u. s. centered syria in 2014 shifting from working quietly behind the scenes to support rebels to overt displays of u. s. force. i have resisted calls for military action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force, particularly after a decade of war in iraq and afghanistan. the images from this massacre sickening, a crime against humanity and a violation of the laws of war. big promises were made like defeating isis. by like 2014, the $500000000.00 spent training. what was supposed to be $5000.00 anti isis syrian rebels had managed to successfully train about 5. so once again, why that is goodwill on both sides and the really good chance for success. the u. s . has secured the oil among the many u. s. military for raise that promised the way the same went of stability, peace and freedom. but with the growing list of foreign interventions, 10 fella perhaps if kind the u. s. consider

a career change from the global policeman. tony blinking has a very difficult job and that is to try and put a good face on a, on bad policy on, on an administration that you know, promised the moon of a can even launch. we haven't had a foreign policy success in decades or invasion of iraq in 2003, of course, predicated on over a decade of, you know, sanctions based containment of saddam hussein. that change the entire middle east, which in turn gains the entire world. not for the better either. so, you know, the united states as a, has a problem. we are in a position where we have the, the power, the, the accumulation of power to, to make this stand and continue to make the stand. and right now, there's not too many nations that can stand up and prevent us from doing it. it

doesn't make it right. we've seen the consequences of this. but for the moment, the united states no is a, is a superpower, lacks a moral compass, which nothing but fact low stories just after this. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led? somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths

or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. i'll be speaking to guess on the world politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, oh hello again. 9 authorities, nikia are demanding that west and mainstream media stop spreading. fake news like hiding there is unbalanced coverage of the civil war there. and that it's biased towards the rebels fighting the government people to take to the streets around the

world to support the elected. ethiopian government rallies have also been held new . cnn's los angeles bureau with people demanding that the u. s. and it's western allies stop interfering, and the war torn country is poor. as slayer reports now from the philippines, capital the government and people a p p o p, at more of rate, over the wasted media coverage of what is happening in this country. the more any yeah. rebels belonging to the tiegram people's liberation army, the t p l 8. have been in the world in a bit hope war, trying to overthrow the democratically elected governments, instead of remaining neutral mainstreamed western media has chosen to take sides majority here, pin any here appear as well as abroad. strongly feel that cnn has covered the conflict over the past year in a manner that is highly biased and detached from context. and you times insisted on repeatedly falsely claiming that it was the government of prime minister abbey

meant cnn has in fade a much better. 8 news anchor with the largest ethiopian television channel has monitored and reported on the false report. the channel continues to spew out. for example, when t p, a live mart used to abby suburban, you know, they are at this 60 kilometer away from add this to and near reported that i be sob about is under siege by t p. ls this completely tech niels and that the used tech picture another. the chip in i allays is transferring. we plan to, to great region, but impractical. the to pin i had lies is not doing that to use factually. but c, n n transmitted in order to attack the each your pin economy i want to say about published a video cap on facebook with the heading thousands of to grands of wasted in

ethiopia. it shows a video of vigilantes and states that they are looking for to grands. but what it doesn't mention is that these were to ninety's were heating a quote from the government to go out and protect their own neighborhoods against to grands who were coming in. looting and killing people on november 26th, the french state owned international media office, france 24 reported that some tpl a fighters had reached deborah. he met some 50 kilometers from edison at the back. it was simply untrue, as picked up by fact finding organization in the capital city. yeah. wants to sell her falsity. but it's, it's, it's becoming that the really fucked heart of becoming boarding experts agree the mainstream press is talking with one voice, suggesting a coordinated effort behind the scenes and not only the media. they enjoyed the

rights groups like amnesty or human rights, which they also collect these reports in the sample assembler reports. and then today, congress man data plan union and then they use it to impose sanctions be easier can government if it's clear that when the media is woefully and deliberately choosing to misinforming audiences, it's unfortunate because during time is credible reporting, it's urgent. t e p. okay, well the un high commissioner for human rights says that both the government and the rebels have committed war crimes and tribes against humanity during the crisis . from all the mainstream media impacts in ethiopia, and who might be profiting from it though do go to our website at r t dot com c n. n is also in the spotlight at the moment in the united

states after a former long time produces the disgrace. star, chris cuomo pleaded not guilty to child sex trafficking charges, and i court documents reported by fox news do a ledge that john griffin tried to pay off witnesses and offered a woman $30000.00 in january. it's claimed he also sent $4000.00 to a family member of a 9 year old. he is accused of facilitating griffin with indict this month, and allegations of attempting to do reminders for sexual activities and coerced girls as young as 7 years old to go to his home. he faces a maximum life sentence in prison. if convicted cnn says the charges against john griffin are deeply disturbing. however, it is not the 1st sex scandal recently cnn this month. the network 5, chris cuomo for alleged misconduct after he helped his brother andrew, who was then your governor, to fight off a sexual harassment case. cnn host on lemon was recently accused of sexually assaulting a bartender. and last j a. c n. n. legal analyst jeffrey toobin was electrically called performing a sex act touring a work related video call,

or contributor lauren chen suspects that the scandals will dent see an end ratings . the charges that john griffin is facing, they are not capricious. they are not merely based on a he said, she said, situation. there are evidence of payments at text messages that duly people to believe authority, specifically that he has been at paying underage girls of for sexual favors, as well as trying to involve their mothers to varying degrees. he is engaged in grooming, and some would argue, as well as sex trafficking, many mainstream media outlets not just seen on themselves have, i think, been a little bit hesitant to talk about this issue. even though we can only imagine what the reaction would have been if this had been someone, for example, on the fox news team or the trump team that had been discovered doing the exact same things overall as cnn's credibility has been shipped away, specially over the trump administrations years, a lot of people just no longer believe that they are a fair and unbiased source of news. and it's just not a good look for

a network that is already struggling to keep up a positive public appearance. and sadly, the only time cnn has been, i think, really disgust widely lately has not been for their amazing journalism or content. it has been because of these, these negative new stories involving their personnel. if the feds are alleging that not only did john griffin engage in these terrible behaviors, but he also then try to pay off a witness to remain silent. i don't think we have much reason to take john griffin at his word. and i think the fact that he has engaged in these things shows that as a person, there is not much he is not willing to do when it comes to preserving i his own freedom. amazon workers have rallied in new york over what they say are the companies reckless disregard for safety and union busting policies. has been a wave of criticism over high it treat stuff off to 6 died when a warehouse collapsed during a tornado in illinois, early this month called milken as more details. so are here in time square,

and as you can see behind me, there's a large demonstration of amazon workers and their supporters. now the main talking point of this demonstration is worker is health and safety. here the new york based amazon worker is one adequate protections from coven 19 as they go to work every day. but the whole country is reacting to the incident where we saw tornado that hit an amazon warehouse, killing 6 amazon employee. so that was earlier this month, december 10th, and the country is still reacting to that horrendous news. many questions are being raised about jeff days over the billionaire ceo owns amazon. and whether or not he's really concerned about the safety of his workers. this is what some of the protesters, amazon workers and their allies had to say was when we spoke to them earlier. those workers were not allowed to leave. they weren't allowed to have their phones. we saw the screenshots, amazon is letting us leave. the van driver said they were told that if they didn't

come back with their vans empty, they would not have a job. the next day they were saying we need to go. there was a storm and the manager say, no, you have to stay. you were not allowed to eat. that's like a 100 years ago with the triangle shirtwaist factory. workers work between 10 and 12 hour shifts. totally isolated on the outside world. and we are here. so there man, among things has have paid. amazon has shown itself to be incapable of protected workers, lives incapable of doing anything but putting prophets over people's lives, over safety. how many more people in our class after die? how many people have to die to be working this inhumane like this at the speed in these warehouses to get these packages out there? this is impossible. i absolutely was not able to go to the bathroom, not able to take a break, not able to, to have time off of sick pay. no, nothing like of course people are going to dine. now. protesters have also been

highlighting the fact that while the pay of amazon employees is considerably low, jeff bezos, the billionaire ceo, seems to have a voided the tax bill. i and is not really paying his fair share of taxes. he recently spent a lot, a lot of his own personal wealth on a trip to outer space. now the protesters here say that the conditions in amazon warehouses are unacceptable. workers' rights are not being protected. many people calling out this huge international corporation. caleb martin r t new york. and i sent high things in the king size for this evening. we're back with most story synthetic units. ah, ah. i mean, you must. it is so delicate in as you want to don't till we stand together. we'll

continue to stand together against russia 80 in germany. repeat some of the areas that we doubtless made say no to cvd. the shockey dawson is about their ability to influence other nations, france, u. k. and even latin america and other countries in ginger than maybe knew where to high from cycle to loot with members of your household. please, please, please, please. we're going to continue to fight with justin to russia must not be allowed in germany. i don't want y'all to common leave it so short, so didn't al t d enough asian the father of the yes actually indian api, the not missiles guns and 2 sons to what we've got.
