a knock that you spend off on one fine day, ah ah, in the storage that shape the weak aeronautics international, the don bass republic on the phone. so now that what all is a region celebrate on historic moment of the bladder may approach any signs of decree. on their accession to russia after a string of referendum the anglo saxons had not had enough with their sanctions. they moved on to the ship. the russian president blamed the west for the sabotage of the north stream pipelines which supply gas to europe. and ultimately, he points to who would benefit the most a scenes right there by agree locals. i talking the french embassy in kena paso, is capital people slamming powers,

has failed military efforts to maintain security in the west african country after a 2nd cube this year. we're not okay with the french. we are not okay with imperialism. penal faso will always be free with . well, it's great to have you with us on this sunday for the weekly. it's been a very busy week. so let's i run down some of the highlights here. nasty international. so russia is constitutional court has approved the accession of full new territories into the russian federation. that's off to vladimir putin signed a decree on friday for the head of san anne's apology regions and the don't yet. and new guns for republics to become a part of the country. and his speech at the signing ceremony, the russian president urged ukraine to return to peace talks. but he emphasized that the status of the new regions is non negotiable. the way he's get is you need,

we call on the key of regime to immediately cease fire. old hall. still it is the war it on least back in 2014 and returned to the negotiating table were ready for this is been said more than once, but we will not discuss the choice of the people in the gans to nance. he is on and zap rogia, it's done, russia will not betray them. the ceremony was followed by celebrations all across the farther for new russian territories. the night sky lit up in a blaze of color as a firework display was one of a few held him, and on his republic, and mila topple the biggest city that russia controls in the upper orgy region. people gave an emotional reaction to putin's announcement. similar scenes witness and have san angelo guns as well. of course it all follows the referendums held in those areas. and we heard from people on the streets, shortly after the act session documents were signed. they certainly seem to be in high spirits. and you know, like des moines, i'm back home. i'm so happy. this feeling is simply indescribable. it's such

a historic moment. we're extremely happy. we have returned home. there's daniels was known as his journey. russia means better development of our region. we expect a lot of improvement. i've really been waiting for this after 8 years of living under those tentative fine bombardments, we have finally come closer to peace. what happened this friday was the best that could ever have happened to watch a lot of us. we are very grateful to the rational people for their support. we're thank you very much. we're finally back home. but they eat you in the u. s. have refused to accept the referendum results or branding the move and annexation, and not the expression of the free will of the local population or his i, senior correspondent. but ad goes to have it is no exaggeration to say that these fellow referendums were historic. this is a pivotal moment in history and such moments, pick up many names, referendum annexation re union vladimir putin once again violating

international law with his friends to annex murphy crane. we will not hesitate to take further action, including imposing more sanctions to cripple prudence war machine. the united states, together with our allies and partners, are announcing new sanctions to day to impose costs on individuals and entities that provide political or economic support to illegal attempts to change the status of ukrainian territory. and i look forward to signing legislation from congress that will provide an additional $12000000000.00 to support ukraine. curtain has mobilized hundreds of houses, so more truce, engaged in irresponsible nuclear saber rattling and now illegally annex more ukrainian territory with nights russian federation. welcome 6000000 citizens and hor, boss regions by the will of the people. the will of the people and the right of self determination are alien to nato,

an entire continent. europe has sacrificed that he cannot make prosperity and future for america's hooley war in you crate. who in europe voted for this? who voted for her shamrock veranda, organized in the territories that russia occupied. an illegal attempt to grap land and to change international borders by force. the sham referendums were engineered in moscow on impulses on ukraine in total violation of international law. if i had, as i said, with a certain gravity at a time i, russia is renewing its aggressive rhetoric at a time where it organizes sham referendums, which sign it status of a parent state. we don't get all of this rhetoric, of course, only applies to russia. quite a referendum is good for nato. it is righteous when it is of it's a sharp,

kosovo. nate, who states evade a sovereign state, redraw the borders and state your referendum, just and fair. they called it because they did it inside the you. meanwhile, barcelona is peaceful attempts at a referendum of freedom, a brutally suppressed act. this jailed and persecuted, and everyone pretends to she nothing. where did all these rules and rights go? it is ridiculous to hear about the redrawing of borders from across the ocean after the nato bombing of yugoslavia, after supporting the redrawing of barbara with their planes within dependence of crossover. this is not a conflict between russia and ukraine. how can it be when the entire ukrainian military is paid for train supplied, armed and directed by nato? this would have been decided if it had just been russia and ukraine instead. these,

he's a silent war between russia and the west. and that's only point this continued bloodshed, that violence is to cement nato's right. to be the only power on the planet that gets to redraw maps and stage referendums. they call this right in the most abstract way. rules versus delicate them, with strategic security agreements, fly into the trash, shall we hear is the west to friends in order based on rules. where did these rules come from your who's ever seen these rules? it solid deception double already triple standards. it's easy to count on fools like russia is a 1000 year old civilization and it will not live by such false rules. the west uses suppression, exportation, and enslavement instead of democracy. the unipolar world it is built is anti democratic, deceitful and hypocritical, through and threat. but that they were, for russia, enough is enough. this apparently is what nato cannot accept. this obedience

revolt a quality. they believe that they are better than the rest of the world. superior. even exceptional. so say the rules that no one has ever she wore, i guess they have 40 from him son, russia. the accession documents have been approved now by russia's constitutional court. and right now with the national parliament to be ratified, that will be the last stage of the process. the final announcement is expected in the coming days. meanwhile in italy, a rally was actually held to show support for the for former ukrainian regions joining the russian federation. residents of the northern italian city of jenny was gathered in a central square saying they recognized the results of the referendums held in those territories. they also said western powers must stop escalating the crane conflict by pumping weapons into the country. well,

let's look at the latest now that it is developments from that of the ukrainian conflict. kids tend to advance to the hassan region have, as we understand now being suppressed. that's according to the russian ministry of defense. more than $200.00 ukrainian troops are reportedly killed during the latest offensive. increasing total losses on the southern front to at least $400.00 in the last 24 hours. also off, the russian troops withdrew from the city of lou man and don't ask for public on saturday. a russian air strikes in the area killed 200 key of soldiers and wounded 300 others. while in the heart of region and northern front, russian rocket stripes were said to have killed $300.00 troops there. so one of the victories of the week that of the gnawed stream pipeline system being struck by for underwater, explosions, causing huge leaks. and the gas roots, which of course, directly spanned from russia to the use largest economy, that a germany of let me put in, said it was an act of sabotage, committed by western powers. the video in that ms. little new because of,

of images to really see the anglo saxons have not had enough with their sanctions. they've moved on to diversions. unbelievable, but a fact by organizing explosions on the international gas pipelines, the north stream, which run along the bottom of the baltic sea. in fact, they've begun to destroy the pan it european energy infrastructure is obvious to everyone who benefits from it. look, us dictatorship is based on brute force. what your wellness of european politicians, including the serbian president, alexander a vote church, they've made clear how they see the matter. when i heard this, it made me sweat. i didn't know whether to cry or scream. when i saw the news on what happened to nord stream, if we had not built the turkish stream gas pipeline 2 years ago, we would now be cutting off electricity for 12 hours a day. also douglas mcgregor, a former high ranking american servicemen i spoke about the pipeline damage the recent us media interview. there really aren't very many people out there that

could do it. it was definitely not the russians. so that leaves, that leaves united kingdom, potentially the french, of perhaps the united states. frankly, the united states government has dotted into a very united states government is making the utterly ridiculous argument that the russians dental themselves. which makes sense benefits the most by being able to sever the final physical link between russian germany which could add in theory, to the chance of a separate piece of granite between russia, ukraine, or russian, the west. in the event that germany were to be able to fly to strategic autonomy over here, of course, the prospects for all weekend, but the seniors to remain on the cars. secondly, the u. s. is now the top, our suppliers. so america is going to be banking off of this terrorist attack. and 3rd, by having poland become very a crucial to be use so called our security to the current that dental washing of the baltic pipe and the same day of the terror of the test occurred. the us and

able to advance is larger strategic re orientation in european continental politics by gradually favoring poland over germany at the top partner in europe. so i think there are a lot of reasons why the us actually stand the game despite what blanket and other official plank i do not believe is going to be objective to the contrary. i believe that this is simply an act of trying to cover out the crime after the fact. also look at the ongoing information warfare campaign against russia. i mean, the west is peddling. there's literal conspiracy theory that not only in russia blow up, it's all multi $1000000000.00 pipeline, but that would be able to do still a nato controlled water and get away it got great. so on the one hand, they want to think that large is so weak that is being defeated by ukraine, which isn't true because the ukraine, ukrainian military and actually natal back. but all the ukrainian profit. but on the other hand, russia able to somehow blow up its own pipelines, the nato control water is not even a catchy like you crane and get away with it. i think that is completely ridiculous

and that this so called investigation is going to be aimed at covering out the actual crime, the u. s. and we're the u. k. committed and possible even planting. se evidence to try to implicate russian. i have no faith in the objectivity of the so called investigation. it is a 100 percent sham. there's our gastro said, or the western media were very clear and whom they deemed responsible for the destruction. but of moscow use atlas accused russia of blowing up its own vital infrastructure. a correspondent were in a quarter of a, takes a closer look at the accusations, anonymous sources, and a so called highly likely narrative. these are tactics widely used by western lina when they need to blame moscow. a lack the evidence to do so. and natasha bertrand currently working for cnn. once again, proved that she's an expert here, sites in some unknown european security officials who allegedly saw some russian

navy ships in the vicinity of the north spring pipeline leaks. it's unclear whether the ships had anything to do with those explosions. the sauces and others said, but it's one of the many factors that investigators will be looking into. russian submarine were also observed, not far from those areas. last week, one of the intelligence officials said, seriously, the wes gets nervous and starts screaming about russian sobs, even if they see an old tin can floating in the baltics. here the information that the russian navy is ply in the seas and danish territorial waters appears after the incidents on the pipelines and is of course, attributed to a source quote. familiar with the matter whom. now, for example, news of american helicopter, as seen in the vicinity, appeared a few weeks before the gas leaks. and even earlier,

americans themselves were boasting about conduct and underwater drone experiments in the same area. and of course, there's joe biden solid all to quote, put an end to north string to. there will be no longer north steam to we, we will bring it into. how will you do that? i promise you will be able to do it. you'll find none of that and miss burton's article, just the usual blame game against russia and this is not the 1st. * time that natasha is doing damage control for the us president. when hunter biden's laptop scandal was raised and she dismissed the entire story as russian this information, even though some of the digital files with sensitive information were confirmed as authentic. her answer also crusade goes wrong back and it's based on on verify the information. let's remember how eager she was to discuss the steel dorsey with anyone who would listen, trying to convince the public that donald trump is moscow's maggots. chris were

seal wrote in late june that the trump campaign had been receiving a regular flow of intelligence about hillary clinton from the kremlin. she admits that there is no evidence, but she enjoys fantasizing about various theories on national television. the still dos here, by the way, it has since been discredited box. that doesn't matter. right. well, here's another accusation that russians are supposedly behind the so called have vinyl syndrome. that's some medical issues experienced by u. s. government officials and military personnel. russia is one of only a few countries that has dedicated research and development to what some experts believe could be the kind of weapon that could cause symptoms consistent with have on a syndrome. but the intelligence pointing to russia as a possible culprit is also constantia, according to multiple sources, familiar with the matter, making it difficult for analysts to assess with any certainty that moscow is behind

the episodes. the c, i a has since confirmed that most havana syndrome cases are unlikely to have been caused by a foreign power. and now ms. bird turns wants us to believe that russia blew up its own gas pipelines. well, to use her wording, i could say it's unclear whether she has it in for russia, but according to her articles and numerous to be appearances, it seems that she, in fact, does, when one huge media outlet makes such a spectrum report. cnn did then others will copy it and the others may not even insert the noun, sit into the pieces as see it in journalist good. at the end, at least the journalist mitch's that the russian ships were always there. so really short self in the 1st. she said, i've got no news for this is, you know, nonsense this article, but unfortunately, we're living in an age now where copying replicate to what british journalism to

the school. chun listen is really now, or the main thing, you know. and so it's really dangerous when outlet stuff of that size put out such information. it's all too common to western media to rush ahead and just copy and paste these, these mistakes, and then you know, not really care about the integrity of what they're doing. it's becoming more more common hundreds of people in germany outraged over the government's handling of the escalating energy crisis of now hit the streets of dusseldorf. protest to sail authorities have failed to time sawing prices with sanctions against russia and the shutting down of the north stream pipeline. further pushing up fuel costs might be a growing number of permanent figures in germany have started advocating for a governmental change. of course, with a focus on actually rebuilding ties with moscow that could be a hard talk to accomplish as a, excuse me, on to contributor rachel marston now office asa, her opinion,

the new one. listen. it's hard to believe that it takes courage these days to publicly advocate in favor of peace in europe rather than prolonging an armed conflict. but yet, here we are. that's our reality today. you have to wonder why there's such a lack of descent and leadership on the issue in europe when the u. s. is really the only beneficiary of the status quo as this successful german corporate executive suggests. and why is there such a taboo around the notion of europe standing up for its own interests in this mass? when the ultimate result is that the blocks economic engine germany is going to take itself out of global competition effectively to the benefit of the u. s. one for the german parliamentarian is even suggesting that russia now offer to help your a p in businesses suffering under western sanctions and square off against the u. s . over europe on the economic battlefields house whose war view themselves. there

is only one way out of this dead end that we have got ourselves into because of the us. the sanctions must be lifted, the economic war against russia must and immediately. and we must sit down at the negotiating table and find practical solutions for cooperation. just like we have been doing for 20 years, perhaps now was the last opportunity to do so. we can answer this question very simply, who, who has benefited from all of this, who has benefited from the whole situation in which we are in now? who is profiting from this? this situation is nothing new. this is far from the 1st time that the u. s. has unleashed an economic war and provoked military action. now they are using scenario against europe. ukraine and russia are just means for them to reach their goal. the idea of russia stepping in to help european businesses is hardly a sign that russia has been weakened. it is, however, a pretty good indication of the harm that europe has done to itself through its own sanctions, the same former populace. belinda stag deputy also had

a few things to say about the recent catastrophic vandalism of germany's energy lifelines north stream. wanted to intimate business, our government is not able to act in the interests of its own people and this is noticeable throughout the political space. we ourselves pass one decree, one law after another one decision after another which destroys our factories. germany's prosperity and industrial power rest on 2 pillars, the work ethic of the german people, and the cheap energy that we have received from russia for decades. now, this concept has been destroyed with our own hands. we cannot get affordable energy from russia. you can forget about it from the u. s. the u. s. is now making huge profits. each tanker of liquefied natural gas brings about $200000000.00 in profits to the treasury. as long as such prices dominate the market. they will not stop the hostilities. i think that people can take to the streets. they will try to save the situation again. so it can be saved with new elections, the government,

the goddess and to all of this has to go. there must be new elections. maybe then other people will enter office. i don't see any other way here. average citizens in germany and across the block have taken to the streets recently and protest of government energy policies and sanctions. and while, who can blame them, considering that now there is even talk of cellular mobile network blackouts in europe if energy shortages lead to power cuts from which mobile antennas may not actually be exempt, inflation is reaching stratospheric heights in germany at 10 percent. and in the lens at 17 percent, and berlin has just dream live, a $200000000000.00 euro relief package to offset energy price increases through sales tax cuts on fuel. look, i'm no economic guru, but actually yeah, hold up. i'm about to become an economic europe ready because i'm pretty sure that

it doesn't actually take an economic expert to realize that using cash or some kind of crash pad in an attempt to cushion the blow as you push your own economy off the ledge. because brussels tells you to, for ukraine, hardly inspires investor confidence. and while a few people in germany are clearly wide awake, while the rest seem to be sleep walking right off the cliff. with thousands of people have taken to the streets of mold, dove was capital and rally against the government. rally server repeatedly been held in the eastern european country for more than a month. now the protesters demanding the resignation of the president and earlier elections and goodbye spiraling gas prices and inflation. people are said to have taken to the streets following a call from the leader of the opposition short party. well meantime the president go about a kena fast, so it was officially resigned and follows a military overthrow of the government. the 2nd,

the west african country has faced in just 8 months. in this latest footage from the capital of the country, our locals are celebrating. what they say now is a hopeful new beginning. the president had been heavily criticized for failing to fulfill his promises mainly to deliver peace and stability. russian flags could even be seen among the crowds is locals have been calling for the country to step away from france and actually build stronger tides with countries like russia and china. ah, earlier, the french embassy came under attack by angry locals. a protest is attempted to set the building of blaze while smashing windows with rocks and sticks and throwing bricks. the demonstrate his se they've been angered by the failure of french forces to stem islamist terrorism in the troubled nation. i do mean bereft to restore a former regime of blaze. comparing a suncrest said you can kill me, but 1000 sanker will be born where sank,

rose kids and our children will also be pro sanker shame on you to member beat france. france. we will win either our nation or our deaths. we don't need to me, but he betrayed us. we're here to protest because for all this time the mean has been a ruling losing troops where loses civilians. and a new team seems to have more willingness to change the situation. they want to change partner. so i think it's a good idea. the former president was lined to us. he promised us a better time, but the result is very bad. this guys is by, for france. people told him, we don't want to stay with france. police change partners, go with russia, china, or whoever, step by step, after almost 70 years with france, where can i cannot manufacture their own needle. beat france, africa, long life to russia, beat imperialism, comma, those comb ruts. we are facing bet times i repeat times are bad. and this is an appeal to the youth of burkina. let's go out. don't be afraid, comrades. we are going to blog their weight, beat, france, beads, amoeba,

our country or death. we will when we want to say no to france, we want to say no to french africa. we need freedom. we need to be on our own. that's why we're out to say no, no, and no. when or die. the military cougar took place on friday and was marked by explosions and shootings all around the presidential palace in the capital. the following day, the countries out the president was reported to be using french protection to regroup and potentially fight back at the overthrow was announced though by army officers who did so by seizing a national tv, china not tenant colonel paul henry santiago. dummy va has tried to retreat to a french base to prepare a counter offensive in order to so division amongst our defense and security forces . he has done this in the face of our firm will to turn to other partners for assistance in our fight against terrorism. akina foster was already dealing with

the latest terror type on the country, which actually happened on monday. the sol talk to a convoy take them supplies to a northern part of the country, claim the lives of at least 11 soldiers. its limits. attacks have become a constant in the country on the wide us to hell of region. in recent years, since 2015, thousands of people have been killed and nearly 2000000 people displaced from their homes in buck keena, facile so i, that's wrapping up at this hour additional, the weekly here, we're not international live from moscow worse now i just after what about 5 30 pm, great to have your company sharing get funding with us. hey, we will be back soon with more of your top weekly headlines. ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy,

even foundation let it be in arms. race is often 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 a manager. you might look and you live most schools, if you look on the initial be 1 o'clock, not significant. you post on a video can use to put value a new day or 2. but you also, there was a done a similar to like when you thought that i've gone

with what i see the student boss who's though group you motivation says decent you don't, bob a ah with welcome to was the part generous. like to say that the best teacher of military strategy is in fact war as costly and cruel as it may be in dispos allusions and

brings everyone in contact with reality. what have been the tactical and strategic license of the ukranian conflict so far, both with region and for the world of to discuss that i'm now joined by cash sharma, retired lieutenant general of the indian army undistinguished fellow at the b amanda international foundation. but in general, it's great pleasure, great honor for me to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for inviting me that, you know, i've been interviewing a lot of indian yes lately. and one of the things that i was struck by is 1st the amount of attention that the indian observers and eastern observers in general, of pain to this conflict. and 2nd of all, is this very detailed, cold blooded cool hatted analysis which is quite different from all this emotional moralizing that is more.
