a u. s. cool. oh, so this out, molly reserves the right to exercise. it's right to self defense. difference continues on demand sovereignty about a country. sony accused is wrong, so if continuing to undermine the african countries security and what they will exercise, it's right to self defense. ah, when it's 6 pm here in the russian campus, when fidelity international with the latest to world news updates. thank you for joining us now. vladimir putin has declared martial law in the for new territories . that recently joined russia. the president announced the decision during a meeting of the countries, the security council. but then you gave little nice public life, signed a declaration of martial law in the form in russian territories donates, can look on republics as well as the harrison and upper rosier regions were all

under martial law, even before they joined russia. the time has now come to make this official. let them have heard him say the decision to impose martial law comes in response to terrorist threats from ukraine. according to the russian president decree, regional leaders of being wrong to the additional power is to ensure security and enforce measures to meet the needs of the russian army, russian prime minister mccallum a shift, and is being appointed to lead a special new council to coordinate security efforts, ortiz, marina cost, or if it breaks it all down for us cubes, resume as refusing to accept the results of the referendum as their people's desire and wished to be parts of the russian federation. so this is a necessary measure to protect them and also will give unlimited powers to the heads of the regions there right now, so that they can make decisions really quickly and as they see fit because there is no time as the situation there is escalates and there is no time to consult with

moscow certain times. this will give them the power to do that. and also the leaders of these 4 regions will also be part of a special coordinate and council. vladimir putin has asked the government to settle the leash and the species. it's not only specialized law enforcement agencies, but also the entire states system as engaged in resolving issues to facilitate the special military operation. we need to continue working on improving coordination to this end. i'm instructing the governments to prepare re draft presidential decree on the creation of the special coordinating council, which will be led by the russian prime minister. and this comes as were seen an escalation on the battle ground, especially in the city of san where there anticipating a large scale offensive. and right now, tens of thousands of people are being relocated to other areas so that they're not in harm's way as they're preparing ukrainians to launch their massive attack. and

of course, we heard on tuesday from the commander of russia, special military operation. they're saying that the premiums are willing to resort to anything including lethal weapons. so it's very important right now to get people out of harm's way. so really, could you just break it down for what exactly marshall low means under the russian legal system will in russia, martian line will take a look at some of the slides right now to get the key points. there is a long list of what it means, but among them is of course, the restriction of movements. now, we're talking about people and vehicles that will be additional tracks and more intense checks for anyone crossing all walking around when they're not supposed to be an introduction to curfews. locals have to be resettled as they are and live in dangerous areas. additional security for transport, energy and communications infrastructure. vladimir putin also reminded us again that ukrainians hard have been targeting those infrastructure in particular those

facilities. and we've seen that even with a nuclear power plan, this could be very, very dangerous. so this is the focus that marshall would entail, but again, what that means on the ground and what it will look like. it depends on those leaders of the regions of what they decide to do. and of course, we're still waiting for this to be approved by the federation council on the versus the legal system. this is what marshall means and we will see which measures that will implement on the grounds ahead of the page is decision care. so dorothy is announced the closure of an entry point in the front line at russian region to thought civilians and traveling to certain areas over the next 7 days. as the threats of ukrainian attacks intensifies, this fatigue shows people queuing up to board a fairy as a kiss on port to be relocated to a safe for area. local authorities say citizens from 4 towns are being moved away

from the conflict zone. according to the governor, of course, on up to $60000.00 people will be relocated from the region which is preparing to defend against the ukrainian assault. the commander of russia's military operation has warned that can troops preparing to bomb kiss on and some of its key infrastructure. last, i mean, we have data on the possibility of the key regime using prohibited methods of war in the area of the city of her song. and on the preparation by key of a massive missile strike on the dam of the sky. hydro electric power plant. as well as a massive and indiscriminate missile strike on the city itself. this can lead to the destruction of the infrastructure and heavy civilian casualties. in this situation, our task is to preserve the lives and health of civilians. therefore, 1st and foremost, the russian military will ensure the relocation of the population. as the commander

of russia military operation has set tensions on the front are increasing, especially in the city of care. so on. russian forces now strengthening that positions that amid anticipation of a large scale offensive by key. i mean, while in the nearby region of the sheer where tensions have been high around the nuclear power plant versus phase the radiation situation has been under control after an attempt by kia 4th is to take over the facility according to the russian military. the recent landing of ukrainian troops in the area has been repelled with more than 90 ukrainian soldiers killed. on the other side of the front line air raid sirens had been heard in several regions across central eastern and southern ukraine. media report suggest alarms were triggered across the whole country with lost in a number of areas. at the last several days, local authorities have reported attacks on the infrastructure earlier most go confirmed where tommy is tory hi, precision strikes on ukraine's energy facilities. military commands off the

assaults on the rushes, critical infrastructure that officials have blamed on kia the father made a deal with the devil that's according to us, lawyer bri on piece a piece of the french cement company was found guilty of paying millions of dollars to ices. and those were to keep one of these plans operating in syria. it was find almost $800000000.00 with the deputy attorney general. lisa monaco saying the pharmacist actions helped fund the 2 groups as they waged the campaign of violence and terror against the syrian population. in its pursuit of profit lafarge, in its top executive, not only broke the law, they helped finance a violent reign of terror that isis and almost reign post, and the people of syria. the french company, at the factory located between 11 and the turkish order. that it just opened in the year, fired to the conflict and syria popping off in 2011 another western proxy war and

energy strategic state. western back syrian rebels ultimately failed to our president, bashar all side, while jee how does groups flooded on to exploit the cash. so how does the company have operating in an active war zone? well, by paying off the jihad districts on the battlefield, where it's trying to run a business apparently. so last value, which you merge with, with multinational holsen group in 2015, just admitted in us court to get a characterized as a sort of employee and executive protection scheme agreed to pay a fine of 700 $77800000.00 to the us treasury and mocking the 1st time a company had been convicted in the u. s. of backing terrorists. now here's a case of how their system works. we have to maintain the principle that we are ready to share the cake if there is a cake. relatedly and isis vehicle pass dated april 26th, 2014 and baron isis letter haven't stamp, allowed lafond to miss some of the employees to pass through after the required

work. this is not said they have fulfilled or do use to us. so we also don't know how much of this scheme involves french intelligence operations that bid this year in complex sent a document lead to the french press last year. the just, the french military intelligence was fully aware of the company's payments to isis as of 2014. now the part is also under indictment in france, but the real ellison in the room here is what's a french company doing on trial in the u. s. court, well the u. s. unlike other countries has a history of actively seeking to use. it's just the system as a blunt instrument against a competitor, which it can do as soon as the foreign companies involved in any way with wall street or with the us dollar. french companies have been targeted multiple times by the us department of justice and some top level french executives will admit privately that you have to be pretty naive to say that this sort of practice is rare or limited just to branch and at the targeting by the us justice department, they feel is by selective executives, the fresh multinational awesome, for example,

we're used by the u. s. a corruption threatened with a long prison sentences. and the end result is where to everything away was the payment of $772000000.00. similar to the figure in this case, in criminal penalties, to the u. s. government and the sale of france's industrial crowns, you'll out them. it's nuclear power. no. how do pentagon contractor general electric? it's not like washington does. it also support g? how does in war zones like area, let's face it. the western process pointed out that the western bacteria opposition ultimately merged with al qaeda and who paid for the training and equipping of the theory and rebel outside of recruits the same uncle sam y, a c. i a and the pentagon who vowed to hunt them all down for holding outside the director responsible for the terrorist attack on us soil. i september 11th, 2001. we're talking billions of us taxpayer dollars that ultimately ended up draining jihadists and no one's taking good old uncle sam to court over that. so

the french american method may be different, but the end result is pretty much the same. but you know, it's huge that washington pretending that french company has somehow shocked it. delicate moral realty tension between from sounds. molly, escalating with the african countries, foreign minister, accusing powers of the mind and get full warranty on national security. molly and official took his case straight to the un security council. molly reserves the right to exercise its right to some defense if france continues to undermine the sovereignty of our country and to undermine its territorial integrity and its national security package, united nations security council meeting. the molly foreign minister went on to repeat allegations that molly has leveled at the paris government in the past. and these include allegations that france continues to use, marley, a space, and also that it continues to supply weapons to islamic militants who are operating

primarily in the north west and parts of molly. now we are talking here about extremis, with links to al qaeda with links to islamic state. and they have been on the offensive for the better part of a decade. the relations between marley and france soured, particularly after the qu, in their country, back in august 2020. and amongst the other criticisms that the molly government has towards france is that it says that france has vetoed or has stopped any kind of developmental projects that have been suggested to the advantage of marley at international forums. it has supported sanctions against molly in the past. and at the same time, it has entrenched military agreements between the 2 countries that bind marley to france. at the same time. earlier this year we did see a number of european governments withdrawing. their military forces from molly, france has done this,

but only in part with the marley government also criticizing the way the french did this. say that it saying it was a unilateral withdrawal. that was done with any kind of consultation that left the molly government at odds with what was actually happening. now. the french have denied these allegations. they have said that they do not violate molly as space. and they have also said that all the operations in molly are fully transparent. this is what we heard from the french ambassador to the united nations. i wish to re stubborn the truth after the mendacious accusations and defamatory accusations from the mortgage national government. france never violated maryan airspace now the situation on the ground in marley in terms of safety and security continues to deteriorate on monday for you and peacekeepers were killed in the north of the country. and this comes as islamic militants continue with their advances, particularly towards the east of molly african political studies. professor david

mon, gay se is now up to the un to investigate what france is really doing in the african region. i think it comes as the backdrop or frame symbolizing role in the mile region and a 2011. and now we see a powerful country within the united nations security council being accused of supporting rebels and he's a boss. and i think what it does is that it calls up on the african union and united nation to really looking to investigate and come to some sort of what was happening on the ground front should not be allowed to continue to civilizing africa in this manner. using colonial passed as a way of getting into its former colonies. i think what we see is

a desperate measure taken by france to regain its influence legitimacy in that part of the world at a time where it's paula, not just in africa, but across the goal is to decline. it's high time that you need to make sure pronouncements in terms of involvement or negative involvement or france and take actions through credible body such as united nation fire has engulfed a major mosque, which is also home to an islamic think tank in jakarta, indonesia causing it to collapse it's, but it shows the domain floating asked the blaze to cold during renovation. why no one has been in to the local police investigations around the way with, from the company contract to work on the mosque being question with the won't. 3rd, biggest against the expos,

a council has refused to divert more gas flows from asia to europe. this winter, the gulf countries energy minister has also was the you of a deepening energy crisis. unless european start accepting more russian gas i get you just don't have enough volume to bring in to replace the gas for the long term . unless you're saying i'm going to be building huge nuclear plants, i'm going to allow coal, i'm going to burn fuel oils. they could tell, or even if they say europe has enough gas to get through this winter. however, once these gas reserves have been used, it will be incredibly challenging. back in february, the same minister won't europe at liquified gas applies, won't be enough different to fully replace the levels lost by blocking russian exports. russia provides, i think, 30 to 40 percent of the supply to europe. there is no single country that can replace that kind of volume. there isn't the capacity to do that. from l. n g find out more now in class live. it's who are guessed, i mean,

you can make consultants and educate many thanks for joining us on the program. mr . are you just the, tell me how bad is the current energy crisis for europe? well, european politicians and the heads of states are actually keep in fingers crossed are the upcoming months, especially if the temperature is withdraw. and although many european states fulfilled their commitments fell in their, their tanks at an 80 percent capacity, there is still an issue of actually having a risk drop in temperatures and also of the food production. that's actually either a lot of the energy, which actually will, we'll get to go up. and we can also see that the social

upheaval are the be started, especially uprisings in france last week. and there's a lot of economic free fall risk in the upcoming months in europe. and do you share the guitar? and this is assessment that europe will face tougher challenges in the coming years without rushing gas. this is like you can see that after the opec plus decision to cut production, we can see that a lot of the gcc countries are changing their stance. and europe kept are actually the officially few months ago. they were, they were little bit more up to mystic about an introduction to, to europe. but we can see it now. the cuts are actually change the stance towards europe and they're actually saying we cannot commit to europe for the upcoming years as we have as they have other contract, especially with other asian country. so i think that the minister cutty minister is

right about your predictions and europe needs to actually find their sources. so who is to blame for this energy crisis and how can it be overcome? ok, so europe actually their plan and they can amik sanctions against russia . they actually went too fast on their economics function without actually planning because they already went too fast on using renewable renewable energy. and they're not using actually germany band lacking though a while back. although they have natural resources, so this, this was not planned as it's supposed to, and function constraints show they were actually, they were too fast on that, on that side. and so not casa, is saying it will not do more gas to europe. what kind of impacts will this have?

so europe right now, there are actually there's, there's a large need in your, even though if ups are, was actually was going to send the gaps to, to, to europe. it was not going to be enough. so no. so for this winter, they're actually thinking that it's going to be enough. if it's not going to be enough, we're going to see a lot of, they start a lot of social uprising. we've already started in many countries. we're also, we're also going to see because most of the supplies that they already have right now and they're in there is russian supply. but what's gonna happen is that there is going to be in the kilometer free for, sooner or later. i mean, you cannot make consultants on the edge of k so many thanks for your time today. we really appreciate your insight into this matter. thank you. well, locals in sicily have been protesting against rising energy bills,

which they say is threatening their livelihoods. i quality of life. italy is one of many remember experiencing high inflation with which sophistic service driven mostly by sky rocketing energy costs. meanwhile, in the u. k. national, say broad talk to the b. b. c is preparing to reassure the public in case of possible electricity blackouts, advising people to check on vulnerable neighbors, one draft warrens that hospitals and police stations would face extreme pressure during 48 hour power outages. a government spokes person has said their conference, the u. k. will not face black house this winter. sun clay with a downing street, had any input on these scripts, or following the russian presidents or versus that's up a new gas project to took here is. so it's become europe that largest gas hub. president heard one say the projects will enable the you to keep guessing rush and

gas through tech. yeah. this, you need to get turkey a will be a hub for natural gas as well. in our last meeting, we agreed with russian president vladimir putin on this issue. we will create a hub here with gas coming from russia. and in his own words, putin announced to the world that europe can get its natural gas from turkey, a life to use this era. my political analysts based in a sample. now many thanks for joining on the program. it's nice to see. now the turkish president says the country to become a gas hub, the europe off the announcement of joint gas projects with russia was your take on us. well, 1st of all, to get with just stickley. geographically, it's always been a very important location for gas producers, gas providers, from a pipeline perspective, many pipelines, whether it be the check stream between russia, whether it be turn up, whether it be a, b, c, c,

or the many pipelines that flow through the middle east connecting to the south court or into europe, greece, bulgaria, romania and further on into serbia and what not. so it makes it makes financial and logistic sense for to get to become a natural gas hub and be able to service your. now, from a russian perspective, it worked out very well to when we look at the pipeline board, the northwestern and the western rout geopolitically are in this feasible, as they used to be. they're not secure, they're not, it's trustworthy. but the southwestern route going through to get, has always been tried tested, trusted it, it makes a lot of sense, be able to increase the capacity. these also increased storage and going forward will just be a trend for rushing gas or will it be a price center, a market meeker for russia? yes, that's going to most likely be a future conversation between the target president is rushing calendar. so the hub

is aiming to deliver rushing gas, see europe. think that this mean to be here is looking to buy pas its own sanctions? well right now there's, there's a fact that winter's coming, how much e reserves last this winter that remains to be seen. but at the end of the day, these politicians need to get reelected. their mandate is to serve their country's interest, their people's interest. and if it gets to the point where people are preaching, if it gets to the point, people are protest, there's going to be flexibility on buying gas. and if you're in the country, that is selling it to a candidate member of the nato member, which is, is part of the alliance with many you member states as well? yes, it is rushing yes, but it is coming through to us. so it makes it a little more power the ball. it makes it a little more explainable to the public maybe by going forward. but again, that depends on how cold the winter is and how much the reserve european reserve

flat, of course rushes precedent has repeatedly said. moscow is ready and prepared to supply energy to europe. do you think the issue is getting close to changing it? stalls? i think they're taking away from the perspective right now. i think they want to hold off as much as possible. they want to explore other alternatives, but much of the natural gas supply is already spoken for when countries make natural gas agreement, these agreements are on a day to day basis. these are 23 by 10 year long agreement. so there's not that much free supply where you can supply the whole european continent, which is a massive consumer. so again, russia had already year marked a lot of natural gas for europe, with europe, not buying it, that gas it right. gas right now is a surplus, and if europe needs it, it's going to most likely explore ways it can get it hands on that gap. so there's

a new joint pipeline project that's being discussed between russia and turkey. what do you make of the prospects of this? well, 1st of all, we have to look at it from a reasonable perspective is not something that's going to happen immediately. this is not going to happen tomorrow, but in the coming 6 to 12 months in the coming one to 2 years. this is going to be prepared and we can see that the target president is russia counterpart, are thinking long term. it looks like the russian president wants a long term secure pipeline that he can release a large amount of capacity continue to service the european market. the european market share is important for russia, russia, yes, important for europe. this is a need need situation. maybe not a win win, but it need need situation. and again, both sides will try to explore ways geopolitically to make it feasible. we continue going forward and again is important in this aspect. again, we also realize that it's not going to happen overnight,

but the turkish president seems to support the project. the russian president seemed excited about the project going forward. and when these 2 leaders make an agreement, they can very quickly carried out. they have very dynamic teams working underneath that uses our political analysts. many thanks for joining us. other programs day. it's really great to hear your thoughts on the master. thank you. well enough to some tragic news from the african continent where more than 600 people have died in what locals call. and jerry, as was flood in decades, devastating floods of his country dominating infrastructure, destroying roads, houses, and cultural lands. almost 1500000 people have been displaced as a result of the disaster government and warned people about the floods and said the local authorities hesitated to take action. we heard from some of those affected about the di condition of the country due to the catastrophe, yet in not,

and the effects of climate change has brought about on pulled hardship on the lives of thousands of people. not far from where standing heavy recent rains have caused some of the was flawed along the nyja. berry leave us in nigeria. in decades, more than 600 people have died. and 1500000 people have lost their homes, all have been displaced from the places they speak, put on to the flood, entered my house. i had to evacuate to my nephew's home with my family. i heard the flood. elsie killed 5 people, but i saw 3 bodies. yes, the have been announcements about climate change predicting more rain and floods, but we didn't know it will be as bad as it is now. it in day fatty little doubts in the minds of local international climates expects that this. this is just the latest link in the climate disaster. busy on folding across africa. c. bed

throughout the destruction of natural vegetation, over thousands of kilometers. and poverty is creating very harsh living conditions for people on the list that for security and all parties agree that cannot be allowed to happen. when i'm on my computer, we planted a lot of rice to susan as it was getting ready for harvest. suddenly the flood submitted, i lost over 30 hector of fries. there has been no indications of any assistance from international agencies to help local communities deal with the latest floor. comment to us on the ground have been very called saying it's clear africa tried to use most a priority for fest walls countries and that he and support will again get to be communities who needed way to leg correctly because.
