the country is deeply divided. well, these elections make things worse with . i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. the main thing is that we've finally returned home. thank god, an emotional return moscow. and yet can dr. another prisoner swap, this time, exchanging $107.00 capture soldiers from each side. some of the russian troops described the abuse they witnessed in captivity. those 3 months were living help the forest disabled soldiers, no legs to do sit ups. i saw some guys killed in level show their legs, they were swollen from beatings. hundreds of people gather outside of the hospital

in pakistan to shows the horrible former prime minister in miranda con, there was wounded assassination. attend this community in may as members state. so they won't allow sweden and finland in the block until they both felt certain demands, despite pressure from the alliance's leadership. and we're here for rice transfer, austria who had met nato countries are doing the praying conflict, and the sanctions against russia has backfired. we now witnessing a situation in which the european union, without discussing the reasons and the underlying reasons, is taking a stance on the matter and is not advocating negotiations. i'd also nato's eastwood expansion, which ultimately led to this escalation, a lock out of the world. this is our to international regional ones,

and these are the top stories this out where we begin with the latest crane conflict. moscow and key at conducted a prisoner swap on thursday with each side exchanging $170.00 captured soldiers. those russian troops have now returned to their home land. this footage was filmed right after the plane carrying the russian soldiers landed. i'm military airbase and the mosque. our region brushes, defense ministry earlier warren, that arm service personnel could face mortal danger and ukrainian captivity. all of those free soldiers will now undergo a rehabilitation period in a hospital. in the deal, russia has also released 107 ukrainians holders. most of them surrendered back in may at the as almost all still plant in mar, you will. and they've done this for public. upon returning home, some of the russian prisoners of war described the horse. they say they experienced rollin captivity. hey, mrs. will eliminate those 3 months. we're living hell,

i don't want any one else to go through. this one is, oh, the horrible 30 that he, she daily in wiley the be the forest disabled soldiers, but no legs to do sit ups. there was a gym and key if used by the ukranian secured to service men, a russian soldiers were kept them, but not every one managed to leave it alive. they were interrogated under torture. they were lying there blindfolded. some were been beaten to death over the was letting as we were waiting for this moment for a long time. we didn't know what would happen to us while we were there. we were made to walk into cold for about 16 hours with only shirts, light trousers and flip flops on. i saw some guys jailed in revolve show their legs . they were swollen from beatings. they could be beaten for any move scene is wrong . we were told that we would be jailed once we get home. the russia had forgotten us and wouldn't help us, that we were just scum. we were forced to learn and sing their nationalist songs and anthem's their prayers. they wouldn't let us eat until we agree to sing,

but anyway, you can, if you click on the way it is, this is a 2nd such swap between russia and ukraine. in the last 5 days, archie said via nunez, and as, as your port, as afraid, russian soldiers arrived back in their homeland and an air mason. moscow read n. russia and ukraine carried out another prisoner exchange, 107, the russian military personnel, 65 of whom are from de logan's, and don't ask people to republics, have been released to day. and some of them just landed at the airport near moscow from where they will be transported to the capital and given all necessary psychological and medical help. ukrainian officials have already confirmed that they received the same number of soldiers in return. to be honest emotions, kara overwhelming. she'll go a good. i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. it's hard for me to talk about it now. well, there's little blooded, the more the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god, with my nephew is still being held captive. he's wounded there. i've come to the

airport to meet my son. i'm here with my daughter in law. we were very worried and scared for him. i still feel that fear today's feel. w exchange is the latest in the series of prisoner swaps. the last one came at the end of october and involved the release of a thief to russian and $52.00 ukrainian soldiers, including regular soldiers, national guardsman, a navy personnel, and border guards. and even though this prisoner swaps are sometimes very difficult to achieve its old worth it in that fatal insult and humiliated, that's how other captured don. my soldiers. how describe 7 months of captivity in ukraine? i was going key at increased their prisoner exchanges. more and more. hiring stories have come to light ortiz, roman coast, her out reports. some of the de nest republic. soldiers has spent at least 7 months in ukrainian captivity. there,

there were tortured physically and mentally. finally, they have made their way back home to don, that's. i've spoken to some of them. and they told me horrific stories of their captivity in ukraine. here they are. will be in the holocaust. helena probably knew we were near harker in the village of alpha, and suddenly ukraine's forces fired a massive artillery barrage. then we saw that we were surrounded. first they put us in a hanger. they stripped one of us naked when it was freezing outside willow. a chance thrashed them, but it was 1st carried. we didn't know what would happen to us when we were in the hanger near. harkell were constantly beaten until their commander came. the relentless de bullet and insulted us. they bid me on the soles of my feet was combat boots, but on long the says of shipping, but he then we were tied up and taken t f. g crane's main intelligence directorate, where we spent a month and a half in the basement songs,

the officers beat us during interrogations. and just because they felt like it, oh, they really beat me up when they asked me who's didn't ask, is it? and i replied that it is, of course, russian, dumber than there was a briefing. they told us what we need to say as they wanted to use us for propaganda purposes. and they told us that we should say that we were young students taken to the front lines, but we were volunteers. we went to defend our mother landscape. then we were transported to pull tava to a pre trial detention center. i'm like rusnick. it has to be did in that and i get we saw the red cross for the 1st time and pull tower. it was impossible to talk confidentially because ukrainians were sitting behind the wall. you could hear everything. and before that, the administration approached us and told us not to tell much, otherwise we would pay for it. so all of ukraine's defeats on the frontlines and the political front affected us. they would threaten us in a heartbeat. they said, well, garbage, that the world doesn't need us, that they could just shoot all of us. they even intended to car was set in to us.

one of her soldiers had his teeth knocked out and on the one wanted them to simply kill him because there were tormenting him so much. authorities and the not ask are public say to civilians were wounded on thursday and ukrainian artillery attacks that use nato. caliber shells the regional capital as well as 2 other major cities were targeted. several explosions were also reported in russia, zapper, or she region and across the border. and you frame error rate alerts were also declared in central and eastern ukraine, including the national capital of kiev. oh hi. where is a supporter of pakistan's, former prime minister and ran con, have gathered outside a hospital to show support for him. after he survived an assassination attempt, connie was transferred to the facility in pakistan's 2nd largest city of law, or after being shot twice during a protest, march the former piano and was ousted earlier this year. and what he describes as

a us back who has been rallying supporters throughout the country as he tries to return to power con, suffered q, gunshot wounds in the leg during the attack in the north eastern city of was 0. that the following footage shows that exact moment and a warning it contains disturbing images. ah, this inspector gunmen has reportedly confess saying he acted alone. however, it's unclear whether his statement was forced. khan had been reading a protest march to the capital of islam of that with a demand for new elections. local media footage has shown the 7 year old was a bandage leg as he was moved to a vehicle with the help of the security team. in the aftermath of the attack, thousands of con supporters have taken to the streets and cities throughout the country. flames and smoke could be seen as protesters burn,

tires and other objects. while speaking out against the current government, supporters say they are fully behind and run con on are even ready to sacrifice their lives, to support him. what a leather lessons up with we prefer him wrong cons. health done. we can sacrifice our lives for him. our blood is for him wrong. can you let me say that a tough time for this government has begun that we will overthrow them, ada longabaugh user. don't know yet. we are not afraid of these cheat tactics. we are ready to die for our lead. him run con and our country job at the home, sub, or mac, look as a, as a nation. so we all standing with him run con. we appreciate the way him run. con is leading the nation and giving awareness price to him. we are standing in front of the ciocca promise memorial hospital. this is a cancer hospital. amazon con, built this hospital for the poor people with donations for the day. and now today, he's inside in the dorm taking grass. he says you are successful and we have seen

tears. we have seen flowers. we have seen anger. and we have st paper that he be from the at heart, and they're praying for him. and we hope the next morning, even lies again. as a father of the nation, like that many people say, he's just like a father of these young generation of pakistan. turkey yeah, has doubled down on its demands at sweden and finland must extradited, suspected terrorists, and those nordic nations want to join nato. that's the message from the top turkish diplomat in his symbol, despite attempts by the alliance is chief to secure those countries accession to the block. it is clear that finland and sweden have delivered on the memorandum and are committed to the long term partnership with turkey. woo memorandum build on

timothy. it cannot be said that all points of the memorandum were fully implemented by these 2 countries. so our goal is not to prevent nato expansion of our goal is for these 2 countries to take important steps in the fight against terrorism. because one of the biggest threats nato faces today is precisely terrorism in and car. i was then linen sweden to comply with the turkish extradition request, as well as adjust their legal definition of terrorism and reverse of exporting certain military equipment, if sweden and finland during native, it would comprise 32 countries. last out, how long spoken out against the expansion of the alliance as a direct raptor rushes national security saying the block has broken his promises not to expand further east. but while nato has long denied posing a danger to moscow, the alliance is shaped strong and bert now, and this is all about sending a clear message to russia these dangerous times. it is even more important to

finalize their accession to prevent any misunderstanding or miscalculation in moscow and to send a clear message or to show that need to the door remains open. sarah flounder, co director of the international action center says neither cheese demand showed the alliance is not some kind of democratic organization. stalson berg is making demands on turkey and which are it's inappropriate in every way. every country must agree to the expansion, who is a member of nato, now must agree to its expansion and turkey and hungry. neither want this expansion and they realize that it is a danger that the, that the alliance becomes ever more aggressive. and ever more, it expands the pressure, put on every member of nato,

of to follow through on plans that they have no part in making. this is a u. s. commanded military alliance. it's not a democratic association by any means at all. the u. s. has shown that whether you're an official member or not, you can be entirely ensnared within nato. and this is ukraine is the best example of that. meanwhile, in austria, the only major political party calling for an and the sanctions against russia, leaving in several opinion polls that's under showing strong results and local elections. in september, we spoke to a prominent member of the freedom party, named christian, struck out who previously served as the country's vice chancellor, and learned what he thinks about the current challenges facing europe.

a been busy, the police need was saying that the sanctions decided on damage oneself and cause hom to austrian population. when we were announced oil, when we renounced gas, even though there are valid binding contracts and yet payments have to be made even though we're practicing this renunciation. if this leads to shortages in gas, but also electricity than this can lead to dramatic developments which we are already experiencing, namely price increases, shortages that could lead to electricity black out to the situation where a could get cold in winter to a situation where the industrial companies, the businesses can perhaps only produce for few hours, and the people, yes, could become unemployed and experienced price increases that they can no longer afford. and this could lead to a new mass poverty. these are all the developments that are obviously not been thought through. and of course, one must ultimately blame those in political power for such developments. gover garza is appears to prosperity central. europe's prosperity also,

germany and austria is prosperity was essentially based on the fact that gas i. e rule materials could be cheaply acquired in the last decade, so that the industry has the corresponding capacities to produce and ultimately to be mocked to both on the global market. if gas shortage is electricity shortages and price increases, lead to developments that make it impossible to maintain this competitiveness in the global production sector in this situation can become dramatic defendant. this can lead to a situation where due to this competitive disadvantage, we see businesses on the verge of closing down. we will no longer produce unemployment will result. many citizens will no longer be able to cope with the food price increases, and also electricity price increases in the private sector and a desperate because they can no longer hold the costs if we also see blackouts. so power outages or maybe now what he shut down from electricity and wind it they, i was like, is the soldier in austria. we're grateful to obtain neutrality off to,

to insane. that murderous world was ultimately this was also a key to our constitutional anchoring of the new freedom that austria received after the 2nd world war. in 1955. and this neutrality is also one of the pillars of our austrian constitution. and the austrian population stands behind this neutrality, more than 85 percent of austrian citizens want this neutrality to be implemented. this is a constitutional principle that unfortunately my opinion is not really implemented by those holding political responsibility. because as a neutral country, we never have to take sides as a neutral country. we have to ensure that we provide humanitarian aid if necessary, but never take sides with a warring policy. and we also have to ensure that no alms deliveries for warring party policy through austria, this has always been discussed, must therefore be condemned, and of course, alike many austrians. i urge that we return to the basis of austrian constitution, namely neutrality, and that we should also be a credible mediator in this conflict. and i have the impression that this role is

unfortunately not being sought and not really practiced. apparently the austrian federal government no longer plays this credible neutral mediator role. and this is also in the background of why turkeys president hood, again, is apparently playing a role in the negotiations again and again today. and this makes me very sad and thoughtful because austria had a very credible role as a mutual nady asap. because i believe that we can only go beyond the realm of mediation and negotiation if both sides concerned and warring parties also approach each other and are prepared to seek and find peaceful solutions by making compromises. and i believe that that must be in everyone's go, not a further escalation, and an escalation of the bull with his unbelievable number of victims which have already occurred. my political position has always been very clear on neutrality is sacred to me, but also to us austrians. we therefore never want to become a member of the military launch, no matter which military laws. we are now saying that neutral countries lies and

finland have also applied the nights a membership which has been accepted and does not necessarily help to ease the situation. yes, one often gets the impression that a situation has arisen in ukraine of the last few years in which the united states of america has also brought his interest to bad. and the proxy war is being fought on the back of ukraine, approachable between the united states of russia, which has taken place here. and in which we, as europeans should do utmost not to add fuel to the fire in this conflict, but to ensure a peaceful solution. ah, so my analyst has heard them out there. on the one hand, it is dramatic that we have to experience a war in the middle of europe, in this case in ukraine, and that we have a conflict situation where actually every rational and responsible person should do everything to contribute to peace and negotiations. we now witnessing a situation in which the european union, without discussing the reasons and the underlying reasons, has taken a stance on the matter and is not advocating negotiations and the path of

negotiation. but his evidently favoring the supply of weapons and fun escalation and is also pushing a policy of sanctions to the detriment of its own citizens in the european union. and that makes the whole situation extremely dangerous, because instead of relaxation, there is a further escalation. and i think we have to ease the tension and look for solutions on how we can ensure peace in europe and in ukraine. but as a couple of you, well i can any say that i hope that all sides involved to so rational that this will never be the case. but we have to take the development of the wall that way. a county witnessing in ukraine into account. and yes, we're talking about a war of aggression by russia, but it, as a history and underlying reasons, the underlying reasons are coo on my dom in 2014 the events before 2014, including the european union ukraine association agreement. at that time, as an opposition leader of the freedom party, i demanded that russia should be brought into a common table to discuss common interests with the european union and ukraine to

find a good, sustainable common path. unfortunately, this was not done and was rejected. then the crew on my dad took place and we all remember victoria newland, and her famous statement which was uttered during an intercept, a telephone conversation. i'm quoting her now. the you that was a topic and then we had to witness the civil war. that last many years, resulting in 10000 deaths in ukraine and the european union did not get involved as a party of peace. these at many developments without justifying anything but one must understood and the underlying reasons and also natives eastwood expansion which ultimately led to this escalation. this is not dismissing any responsibility, but we must understand the underlying reasons. and we've also experienced was such as in afghanistan in syria and libya, and also in serbia where one did not act in accordance with international law but bidding on in college senior while i certainly can't talk about peace conditions because that's what the respective conflict parties have to do if they

have the willingness to seriously approach each other through negotiations than they also have to find compromises with each other. one thing we know is that from a military point of view, crimea as a military port, including that of the soviet union, has of course, always been a right of claim, even historically, for russia as a military port in the black sea. and we have a strong russian minority in ukraine, his rights ought to be guaranteed. and this results he not really put into practice after the my don qu, over, in some cases the russian language, which was part of the official language in addition to ukrainian has been banned. and i think the solutions can only be sort of the strong russian population group and minority, 40 percent, or more than 40 percent of the people living in ukraine have. russian brutes is also guaranteed autonomy writes, but that is not my responsibility. in fact, it could have been insured in recent years through various agreements such as the minsk agreement, et cetera, which unfortunately have not been did to. and i believe that the only way to find a solution is come to the negotiating table. but the 2 parties concerned together with credible mediators struggle for

a solution and hopefully find it would be in the interests of all concerned. because he has people who are afraid that this conflict in the heart of europe in ukraine, which is already dramatic, might not be limited to ukraine. and then it might be a further escalation here. and we want to avoid that. we do not want to have a nuclear threat, that would be the downfall of humanity, and they would never be a win at all. but that would be the downfall of humanity and we would all be loses . ultimately, i would say it is our responsibility to avoid this and to do everything we can in the interests about children and our children's will turn to promote peace and i missed this european piece. movement to day to day went off to get the impression of the former posse, such as the greens, but also the social democrats who for decades went out into the streets. the base as a peace movement and out doing the opposite and are almost acting like warmongers. i'm very imposed by this situation in europe. all 2 of his i've been asking to organize an event in vienna in december, and i've now completed the invitations and i've started the final planning. and my

goal is to hold an event as a platform for pace neutrality. in vienna with interesting discussion partners, i've invited many people. i've also invited the former ukrainian ambassador and the current ukranian ambassador to austria, but i received a negative reply. oh, so invited the brushing embassy and i received a friendly rejection. i proceed commitments from interesting speakers from belgium, germany, and austria, including former politically active personalities, as well as currently active representatives of national parliaments who will ultimately discuss the topic of peace and neutrality. what are the underlying reasons for this war and ukraine? what will happen next? how can we get out of this madness and how can we make a contribution so that hopefully a peaceful solution can be found as a feeder basil. so i find this very, very sad that the ukranian ambassador has criticized me. but i maintain my invitation to him despite his refusal, and also despite his 30 discrediting and partly insulting statements that he's made,

he has contacted dis, stand it an austrian newspaper, which did not provide me with the opportunity to reply. i think it's sad because he's operating with untruths here. i politely invited him to join the discussion on this topic to express his position and opinion that in the spirit of freedom of opinion and discuss it with yes, i would cite very interesting participants was. he then said that he did not feel somehow compelled to discuss with someone who'd already been in crimea or in the don't vast with, well, i was need ain crime in or in the dumbass. but he said that there an existing policy partnership between my policy and the united russia policy, which is not true because it's already been terminated in 2019 accused me of having been in moscow. yes, i was in mosque. i admit it was a political leader. i've always sought and cultivate the forms of diplomatic cooperation at all levels. not any with russia, but also with republican party representatives from the usa, as well as from many other european union countries. and yes, that we are dealing with the conflict and a war. yes. also a war of aggression. i've explained this in public, but i've also stated in

a differentiated manner that they are underlying reasons and that they were also proceeding undesirable developments which must be addressed and analyze openly and honestly. and that ultimately we must also find opened an honest ways of dealing with the undesirable developments which have been criticized by the hardy father. the pope, the holy father has himself stated that they have been said provocative developments by the usa that have led to this conflict. and that at least contributed to this conflict. and he was very open about that and we should not just ignore that. i believe that this is necessary if we are serious about finding ways out of the crisis, out of the conflicts and out of the wool, and that we find a need to take rushes justify security interest seriously. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our g dot com to keep up with all will is breaking news and at days we'll see right back here at the top of the hour.

i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at that point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence. real somebody with a robot, most protective phone existence, with with only daisy for america's midterm elections. everything seems to be breaking in the

direction of the republicans. this would seem to confirm this will truly be a chain to election, a solid, your feed for joe biden, and the democrats, the country is deeply divided. these elections make things worse. ah, everything is changing and one of the elements of this picture is that they're desperate. the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. their real aim is, of course, saving their 500 years of their domination. and the emitter, intermediate aim is on demand china. now a bunch of domains, china, they have to 1st have to take out russian. mm

i'm going to try to find another quite nice one to mumbo blog post. that is to make sure i keep a twinge, quit document on the bus. and then i can potentially, if it's for me, but you want to push me. what did you like it? the repetition of brady. most people much blew out of that. i didn't want that which want to be at the course i gamma, which doesn't feel like if we had what i was not, there is no good point. you can go for your to your for holding the picture where it is using this to hold. you go to the grill guard. sharon and scars. we've got to go home competition. he had a carpenter that was more than i did this. kimberly for scott, this is latoya e. yeah, i would estimate because i started for the last nobody can read sema, what does it?
