[000:00:00;00] a with president takes a and the doubles economic forum claim. it stopped being a place for discussion, in a sense, a western mouthpiece in the restricted sho get exports. i made fear of surgeon crisis after western sanctions against russia. take the whole global market to explore the bunk because of the as of stalls deal plans where women fight the shelter with their children during the siege. it's puzzling at best as why weren't allowed to surrender and to get the kids to safety earlier. and deep divisions again gripped the u. s. over gun controls, as president biden calls for a stance against the powerful gone lobby,

a center of mass. you think that an elementary school in texas when 19 children with you live from our headquarters right here in the russian car. so you're watching the, i'm peter scotts and here the top stories this wednesday morning or so be as president claims the ongoing world economic form in doubles has become a mouth piece of the west. where the only dominating issue is ukraine and descent is not accepted. temere cream, ukrainian issue dominate so much of room, other topics that the forum is basically just a huge support for ukraine. divorce used to be a place where you could hear different things, different opinions. i am a president, she jim thing and angler merkel came here at the same time. now it has become an absolutely and exclusively western oriented place. you can discuss something only within the given framework. what are comments by the serbian president came as

numerous speakers are double shed a unified approach to the war. ukraine, according to the world's most powerful and bitch ukrainian, should fight to the end without any attempt to negotiate a peace deal. i am totally committed as one person to seeing ukraine to the end with a when not basically resolving in some type of a treaty. i don't think that is where we are and where we should be. we are very happy to have them a fight. our fight. you can must win this war. however, the only western voice coming in sharp contrast was the speech of a former u. s. foreign policy veteran, henry kissinger. he said, ukraine should become a neutral country, and this should be a goal for the west. as exactly what rush has been demanding all along. id love, who would be if you could,

because he to say, no say is in between a indeed a neutral bridge would search to bring russia in europe into closer cooperation through an alliance that would also help the european union. and russia better compete against both beijing and washington, which could also help explain why the united states is constantly interfering in the country on the other side of the planet. to ensure that this bridge never gets built in calling for urgent piece in ukraine, kissinger could very well be drawn on his own professional experience and regrets. if you see the terms of the vietnam war cease fire, which kissinger negotiated on president nixon's behalf, could very well have been reached for years earlier, with tens of thousands more lives saved since the deal had ultimately changed very

little within that time frame. so how does kissinger suggest revolving the territorial disputes between russia and ukraine? i do, but i should say to the status quo ante in this case means that control over crimea, who hans, and on that would be restored to russia. it's almost certainly not what the west and ukraine want to hear. but kissinger, as he always does, is speaking from the perspective of foreign policy realist seeking tangible results in favor of peace and not as the kind of idea law that tends to dominate the western foreign policy establishment. b stays, journalist and former se analyst john kitty are, can you believe the fates of ukraine will be primarily started in washington and not on the battlefield?

i think that what we're seeing at davos is similar to what we're seeing. play out here in the united states on capitol hill. we're seeing a struggle between neoconservatives who support war with russia, a proxy war, even with russia versus those americans and a handful of american leaders who are opposed to this war. yet this is a very popular position to take in the united states that the war should go on until the last ukrainian. well, the reason that that, that's a popular position is actually very simple. almost all of the money that congress is appropriating for the war in ukraine goes directly to u. s. defense manufacturers. it doesn't go to the ukrainian people, it doesn't go to the ukrainian government, it goes to the biggest defense companies. eventually,

the u. s. government policy is going to have to be to support that means go courts because that's the only way that we can bring this conflict to an end and to try to minimize the loss of life. on another pressing issue discussed our doubles as a possible end of globalization. the conflicts in ukraine on western sanctions against warsaw exacerbates of the economic troubles created by the global pandemic, and of hence it how fragile the global economy potentially is. some speakers of the forum, the outlook is disastrous. you go back to 2007, 2008 in arab spring. you look at the economic indicators, then you had 40 nations with political unrest, ryah's protest, and today the conditions are actually worse. globalization is not a good thing. it's so great. is it moving? is it boise? i think it's them poor, really bossing. one of the main consequences of

d globalization is the decline of production frampton arise in food protectionism. for example, malaysia has recently announced that it would been, it's chicken exports to secure its own food supplies, in an authoritative, also history to sugar exports. after putting an embargo on re trade outside the country, the move came in response to a shot rising with prices threatening food security in india and its neighboring countries. we asked the director of the geopolitical economy, research group ready could decide about the food situation in india. food production in india as in many other places is already being affected. the 2nd thing is that for the last many decades, as india has become more and more neo liberal, it has actually caused a great erosion in small holder agriculture. and that has, that is one of the key reasons why malnutrition, as in these because they used to be a very large number of people who are basically able to produce what they consume. india is already even before 2022. india was already at the bottom of the need team is not the absolute bottom,

but very near the bottom of the meeting was in terms of food security, the adequacy of food provision in india. so this is a, so at one level, you know, whereas the u. s. and other countries are criticizing india in fact, you should be praising in the other factors and you should have done this a long time ago. basically what you have to realize is the rest that is waging a war against russia in which ukraine is the proxy. as so many people have said, the, you wants to fight russia till the last few grain. it is, the u. s. is war. the u. s. is waging this war, unmindful of the consequences for its own population, which is already suffering. and of course, amid all this, people are completely forgetting about so many countries. in the 3rd world, that neo liberal policies have made reliant on food imports. and they are going to take the brunt off all of this,

and i think really watch or for is for all countries to sit down and manage food supply and some equitable fashion. but given the way the united states is great, i don't see happening. also speaking of the devil's foreign australia is e commissioner has called for re calibration of human rights. and particularly the freedom of speech was her words have spots and go a lot more. not late in the program, russia is opening a humanitarian card or for foreign vessels from the ports of murder. you pull this morning. that's after the cities waters were cleared of mines. now the money works are also in progress of the territory of the as of stalls deal funds, which is now under the full control of the joint russian underneath forces. after the final ukrainian soldiers there surrendered last week. those in dpr captivity will face trial. that's according to local officials with the court proceedings being prepared the moment. meanwhile, we continued to bring you details of what life in us of style was like during the siege. with ortiz,

egan has done of exploring the areas where women fights is for their children. this is the room where we found weapons, guns, equipment, well, arm of, et cetera. and this bunker here used to show to women, look his. there are beauty products over here, over here as well. but judging by the amount of well military paraphernalia that we found, they were no civilians. in fact, in the back of this room, there's a rocket launcher. so not only did they live here, they also fought here. there's children's clothes, there's toys and more children's clothes. well, bit down this room, there are still more of their clothes hanging on the rope after they washed these big reserve. was they still have water in them and well, here's how they slept. for example,

there's another little nook over there with beds more beds here mattresses. it's obvious that women who used to live here some of them had children. and it's puzzling at best as to why they weren't allowed to surrender and to get their kids to safety earlier over to hungry now, which is declared a war time states of emergency of the conflict in ukraine, which will allow the government to bypass the parliament with any decrees thus as a you continues to pressure budapest over russian oil embargo law super. ah, we see the war and the sanctions from brussels have led to massive economic people and drastic price increases. that of the world is on the brink of an economic crisis. hungary must stay out of this war and protect the financial security of families. my. this requires room for maneuver in the ability to act immediately. the government is exercising its right under the constitution to declare war time, state of emergency from midnight tonight, it was a this will allow the government to respond immediately and protect hungry and

hungarian families. by any means possible. yoga, yoga feminist, as order comes amid heated debates on a possible russian oil embargo. while the majority of you members have declared, they are ready to go without bush energy. when we oppose as a bond with victor alba on say no sanctions can be discussed as a consensus in europe hasn't been reached. executive vice president of the radio sense, a think tank. earl rasmussen believes the hungarian prime minister is trying to confront the repercussions of the energy crisis despite all the tensions within europe. prime minister orbit and seized attention going on so that if she sees the office to the one we've got a potential global food crate that's happening we. we already know that we've got a european energy crisis. he's had to fight off the you from and stand up for hungering needs and requirements, and there are people. will he be still going to get additional pressure from europe?

absolutely. do. i believe he's acting in the best interest of hungering? absolutely. european general is in the process of committing economic suicide. i think gorb and see that. and i think he's trying to prevent that and to mitigate the impacts of, of the downfall on europe. and it's going to affect the hungarian economy somehow. but i think he's trying to mitigate the input, the negative implications of that. meanwhile, the head of the european commission has made a u turn while talking about the russian oil, but seem to move would not be safe for the economy her to live on. the line has previously insisted on energy functions against russia, but also the northern bog would only benefit president putin. so today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be

if we would completely cut immediately as of today of the oil. he might be able to take the oil that he does not sell to the european union to the world's market, where the prices will increase and sell it for more. the west is getting more desperate. i think they see russia winning this war in eastern ukraine. so far, the economic sanctions against russia have not heard russian fact the rubel is now record highs. meanwhile, it seems like the sanctions of backfired on the west. i don't see how you are, can refuse russian oil. i mean, maybe they could try to be less dependent on it, but the fact is it's the closest oil supply. so this is an insane move by europe if they do this. and i think a lot of leaders there in the population know it. i think they know that their political future is probably on the line, but again, whether they will follow what they know is uncertain and over to american are where 19 children have been killed as

a massive shooting. that's in elementary school in texas offices. i believe to a shot and killed the suspects. 18 year old. a salvador ramos instance has once again highlighted the deep divisions in the country over gun controls with president biden, calling for a tough, a stance against the powerful gone lobby. as a nation, we have dash, when in gods name we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in god's name we do, we all know our gut needs to be done and don't tell me. we can't have an impact on this current each. from what we understand, the shooter is identified as an 18 year old male. it's a ledge that he shot his own grandmother who is in critical condition before then, fleeing the home and going from there to the school, opening fire on the school children at a nearby elementary school. and i was bringing shock throughout the country. people

are utterly horrified by these events. what are we doing? what are we doing? our kids are living in fear every single time they set foot in the classroom because i think they're going to be next. what are we doing now back at the scene in texas, we understand that there is a local recreational facility where the family members of school children are able to be reunited with their surviving children. and we also understand their impromptu medical services being set up in the area to make sure that those who suffered gunshot wounds and other injuries are treated. this is a very serious situation. law enforcement is on the scene. at this point, the country is trying to find out what the possible motive could be. now this comes on the heels of a recent mass shooting that took place in a buffalo supermarket where a shooter opened fire targeting people because of their race. and it's also

important to note that it is only may the end of may. and so far this year in the united states, there had been $212.00 mass shooting incidents that have already taken place this year. so people are looking at the united states, there continues to be a conversation about how to deal with these ongoing shooting is particularly hard to getting when the victims are children. you know, this is an elementary school. ready that was targeted many heartbreaking remarks coming out of people. many shocked words from local officials and observers, parents, community members, quite a heartbreaking incidence. and we expect that in the aftermath of that, we will see new renewed debate regarding the issue of gun control and the added states on our experts and legal analyst jennifer breed and believes the divisive states of us politics in recent years means there'll be no end to such tragic incidents, most americans are asking why the, why the question, why does has to become incredibly partisan and political immediately rather than

warning such a tragic and completely horrific loss. i mean, of course we're looking at the reigning ruling party in america. 3 the left wing party, which immediately goes to political devices, speech and a gun lobby, rather than talking about the many issues that seem to be played in this country, namely, mental issues, mental instability, and not just from covet. 19 pandemic from frank, but from the divisiveness from mainstream media sources in our country. i mean credible divisiveness from our current political leadership throughout this country asked me know and asked me to see not just from 2016, 2017. there have been mass rick murdering incidence. in america, this continues to be politicized. and that is why that is why there aren't going to be really passed forward to stop in these kinds of that's in the news. the puppies in pakistan, the government's husband, a raleigh. upon by the else to prime minister ron colon, who demanded early elections authorities in islam about post road blocks ahead of

the rally. the government said the event should not go ahead and threaten to arrest processes who quoted spread chaos. the decision came after a policeman was killed during raids on the homes of con supporters. they resulted in more than $400.00 arrests, allegedly made to prevent the protests in the countries capital. they 1st raised the issue of a foreign conspiracy than the assassination plot. and now they are trying to spread and are key in the garb of march. they said this march is going to be bloody. they had already raised civil disobedience slogans, and attacked institutions. they will be stopped as they wanted to attack the federation from one province. all their braves have now gathered in pish hour, and i warned them to behave. it was supposed to have been the latest in a series of demonstrations in different cities organized by the former p. m. over this time, the authorities accused of inciting a civil war like situation and threatened him with the rest strategic analyst and all the pool explains around cons, motivations,

and why the government wants to oppress him and say, this is a mark for real freedom from the status quo, he has given people a different angle in pop pockets on the politics by telling them that he wants to leave an honorable life life independent of external influences and that he wants to live with respect. and this is what has resonated with a lot of people. this is the reason why he decided eventually to march on islam about the biggest problem that the new government is facing, is lack of credibility, the sitting prime minister, chava chevy, and then other allies in the coalition partner. they're afraid possibly that if you're on, does manage to bring in tens of thousands of people in about that may create an

uncontrollable situation for them. and they may have to then given to that, similar demand by not hard. and that is a date for early elections. us africa command is reportedly re deploying troops to somalia with washington recent approval to conduct drone strikes in the country. but despite the recent reinforcement of american military presence has been little progress in improving security, the details of washington's increased attention towards africa, his ortiz policy, or somalia. one of the poorest countries in sub saharan africa has become the latest focus of american military expansion on the continent. washington faced by growing if you, if africa, command african, it will protect africans. we are aligning our global counter terrorism efforts with where the threat to americans is most acute i'll ship bob in somalia simply has to be among our highest priorities on that school that america's military mission. so

it says is not so military after all. this is a repositioning of forces that are already in the area to continue and advise and assist and training mission. with the purpose of enabling a more effective fight against al shagbark africa was established in 2007 and from the start was not pretty welcomed on the continent. we've got a big image problem down there. public opinion is really against getting into bed with the u. s. they just don't trust the u. s. and things haven't really changed. people on the continent still don't like america's presence, wasn't polluted job and the americans are back because they see an advantage to take over the remaining resources and continue to enrich themselves. we have little to no chance of getting help to stop them from taking our resources they are posing as if they are helping us. but they have their own agenda and the benefits they get in return. they are benefiting from whatever they are doing in africa. there is

something they want, don't find them intimidating until they're tied to them, manipulates our resources and luxury haven't what we've come for. it's so hard to gain in and it's hard to, to get as their own and glue to get away from us was we worked really hard to be where we are good, i mean with the local at all and they are presence is not helping us as you can see many people are suffering in prices for everything are increasing. we are still facing a high, an employment rate for me, their presence is not helping. they might come to africa with an idea to help, but they are not helping. and i don't see any difference or changes, but still the sad truth is there is no change and people are suffering and facing a lot of difficulties. but it's not surprising that africans, on jumping up and down civilian casualties from american air strikes have steadily climbed as have violations of international law. amnesty international says

american operations in the east african nation of somalia have killed civilians despite africans denials. this 1st regular public report acknowledging the united states, africa commands. role in civilian casualties is a welcome glimmer of transparency and more than a decade of deadly military operations that until now have been shrouded in secrecy . and then there's the lack of assistance for west africa and the south. so the united states is not leading there by any means, but we're trying to support our partners, our contributions are pretty small, some training, some equipping, helping with some logistics, helping with some intelligence. and some i us are. that's what we're doing there to help our partners. the u. s. is not in the lead in west africa. what's more, america has proven it's unable to fight terrorism on the continent. despite all of our best efforts, this terrorism continues to spread. the spread of terrorism has continued relatively unabated, not to forget the history of american military presence way in the world,

like in the middle east, for example, where the anti american sentiment runs high. and us operations have devastated countries. it's really no surprise been that africa isn't beating it's drums at the latest us endeavors. australia 1st, a safety commissioner has told the world economic form in doubles the freedom of speech among other human rights should be recalibrated. we are finding ourselves in a place where we are, we have increasing polarization everywhere and everything feels binary when it doesn't need to be. so i think we're gonna have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online. you know, from freedom of speech to the freedom to, you know, to be free from on online violence or the right of data protection to the right to child dignity or the big u. s. wedding and the parents called at some point freedom of speech met strong

backlash on social media since the so called v calibration appeared to be an attempt to tighten censorship. it's either free or it isn't. there is nothing to hard to figure out about this. they want to change definitions of words, so we don't know what they mean any longer and they can do as they like. the right to be free from online violence already exists. you block the person or turn off your computer or scroll past or just close your eyes. we don't need that to be re calibrated. i'd like to recalibrate how much influence these people have over my rights though. laughing out loud world economic forum, forgot to disable comments on just one of their tweets, and i pointed out, well now i'm blocked. actually, she was rather ambiguous and leave terminology. i mean, she spoke about re calibration of human rights or freedom of speech, of online violence, but she didn't go very much into what exactly this entails and what does it mean.

but regardless of what she did mean, there was a clear backlash against her comments. we saw on twitter many people consider these comments as being an infringement plan road ching on their human rights on their freedoms. in such a step is taken as she advise, i think this will lead to actually even more polarization, because it will be perceived within the framework of an infringement of human rights to cancel out or to buy a place, an embargo on alternative sources of information, whether it's in different issues of the world in different conflict. it is, i think leaning towards one particular narrative and demonizing the other narrative . and i think many different when at woodson countries i'm guilty of this same mistake. well, that's all for now. my name is peter scott. and i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stores in just over half an hour, but he stay tuned for ortiz exclusive interview with molly's foreign minister,

who discusses the development of the africa regional cleanup after this short break . thank you. ah, in louise to come to the russian state will never. i've stayed as i phone and the no santini div asking him then i can go and meet within the 55 with. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy with little van in the european union. the kremlin, can you get machine? the state aunt rush up to date and square r t sport neck, even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube

with mm well the west maintains as anti russia rhetoric and backed up with ever more sanctions. the position of official kid is not so clear when addressing the davos crowd ukraine's zalinski called for negotiations. one of his chief negotiators refuted this. so where does he have stand up on them with this with you or is with you? i'm

with ah, with my insurance bill with full credit, it's going to be out of wood from beach gonna still he's a patient but in the border in the world that
