con. it was wounded in an apparent assassination attempts. washington excludes the struggling west african nation of foster from a trade deal because it says there's not enough democracy that that's those locals facing and devastating geologist. insurgency, say they need a helping hand to survive, and it probably won't be from the west corner where we could on this one. but now, yeah, we're under the pressure of terrors and we do have a right to choose who we want to work with. and this unit it nate, so as members state to kia, so they won't allow sweden and finland in the block until they fulfill certain demands, despite pressure from the alliances leadership. with july, from our studio here in moscow, you're watching aussie, i'm pizza. scott's here with all the lights this, this friday afternoon. welcome to the program. we start off with the latest in the

ukraine. conflicts, milestone care of connotes had a prisoner swap on thursday, with each side exchanging a 170 captured soldiers. the russian troops are now on home soil. this with it shows the russian soldiers landing at the miniature air base in the moscow region versus defense ministry early a warned that the lives of service personnel could be endangering ukrainian captivity. all of the freed soldiers will now undergo rehabilitation in a hospital. and as far as ideal russia released 170 ukrainian soldiers, most of them surrendered back in may of the as of stolid steel punch in muddy you fall in the done yet. so republic. some of the russian peered of these describe what they went through, but it will eliminate those 3 months. we're living hell, i don't want any one else to go through. this one is worth a group of 30, but he said daily in wiley the be he forced disabled soldiers with no legs to do sid em. so there was a gym and key if used by the ukranian secured to service men, a russian soldiers were kept there, but not every one managed to leave it alive. they were interrogated under torture.

also they were lying there blindfolded. some were been beaten to death and over there was learning 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 like trousers and flip flops on. i saw some guys jailed and leave off 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, but the russia had forgotten us and wouldn't help us, that we were just scammed. we are forced to learn and sing their nationalist songs and anthem say their prayers. they wouldn't let us eat until we agree to sings, but anyway, you can get from the clinic and he's now this was the 2nd such swap between russia and ukraine in the last 5 days. at is sophia nunez, sent us this report. as the freed russian soldiers arrived back home, russia and ukraine carried out another prisoner exchange, 107,

the russian military personnel, 65 of whom are from the lo, ganske, and donates people's republics. have been released today, and some of them just landed at an airport near moscow from where they will be transported to the capitol 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. you of those little voted, the more the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god with my nephew is still being held captive though. 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 ukranian soldiers, including regular soldiers, national guardsmen and navy personnel, and border guards. and even though this prisoner swaps are sometimes very difficult to achieve its old worth, it in then beaten, insulted, and humiliated. that's how don boss soldiers have described 7 months ink of captivity in ukraine as moscow and key of increase their prisoner exchanges. more and more harrowing stories have come to lights, results, east, roman costume of explains. some of the generic 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 john esque. i've spoken to some of them, and they told me her if it's stories of their captivity in ukraine will be in the honeycomb helena berlin. we were near harker fall in the village of alpha,

and suddenly ukraine's forces fired a massive artillery barrage re than we saw the we were surrounded like 1st they put us in a hanger, the district, one of us naked when it was freezing, outside willow, a chance thrash them but it was 1st carried. we didn't know what would happen to us when we were in the hanger. ne harko were accustomed legit and until their commander came, the relentless dom bullitt and insolent us. they bid me on the soles of my feet with combat boots, but almost as a shipping but a yeah. then we were tied up and taken care of was ukraine'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, you know, 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 done with them. there was a briefing of what 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 of we went to defend our mother lance because then we were

transported to pull tava to a pre trial detention center on link 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 all. 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 and they would threaten us in a heartbeat. they said, well, garbage, that the world doesn't need, that they could just shoot all of us, and they even intended to carver, sat into us. one of our soldiers had his teeth knocked out the other one wanted them to simply kill him because they were tormenting him so much. although it is in the done, yes, republic say that 2 civilians were killed and 3 wounded as key of forces shelled the regional capital. and the town of leukemia of co officials earlier said that in the past the 24 hours a woman was killed and 10 civilians wounded by ukrainian shelling of the republic

and in the castle region. a civilian was killed and seymour wounded in ukrainian shelling of a village that's according to local, healthful forties in ukraine. arid warnings sounded in central weston and southern regions over nights and explosions were reported in the city of nikolai of ah, and moving on now hundreds of supporters of pakistan's, former prime minister mon can't have gathered outside a hospital to show support for him after he survived an apparent assassination attempt con was transferred to the facility in pakistan's 2nd largest city law hor, after being shot twice during a protest. march the former piano who was ousted earlier this year. and what he describes as the us back to has been rally and supported throughout the country as he tries to return to power and the u. s. does, does i deny any involvement in that counsel for 2 good shot wounds in the leg during the attack in the northeastern city of was era. but the following 4 digit shows the exact moment of that shooting and acquit warning. he does contain some

disturbing images. ah, the suspected goodman has reportedly confessed saying that he acted alone. however, it is unclear where the statement was made under duress. con had been leading a protest march to the capital islamabad with a demand for new elections. local media footage has shown the 7th year old with a bandage leg as he was moved to a vehicle with the help of his security team. in the aftermath of that attack, thousands of con supporters have taken to the streets throughout the country. flames and smoke could be seen as protest has been tires and other objects. while speaking out against the current government, supporters say they are fully behind con and are even ready to lay down their lives for him. what a leather lessons up with them. we prefer him wrong cons healthy, john, we can sacrifice our lives for him. our blood is for iran. conley on let me say that a tough time to this government has begun. we will overthrow them ada longabaugh

user. don't know, alanine, we're not afraid of these cheat tactics. we are ready to die for our leader in run can in our country at the home. so i'm lucky as a nation that we all standing with him run. com. we appreciate the way him ran carne is leading the nation and giving awareness crazed to him. here we are standing in front of the sofa planet memorial hospital. this is a cancer hospital. hemlock con, built this hospital for the poor people with donations. and now to day his insight in their dorm taking grass, he says, dave are successful and we have seen tears. we have seen flowers. we have seen anger and we have st paper dipping deep from your heart and dead praying for him. and we hope the next morning ever lies again as a father of the nation. like by many people say, he's just like a father of these young generation of pakistan. not enough

democracy. that's how washington explained why it's excluded. the struggling west african nation of burkina faso for an extensive economic development on the continent. i have made this decision because i have determined that the government of burkina faso has not established or made continued progress toward establishing respect for the rule of law in political pluralism. burkina faso has been racked by a devastating jihadist insurgency in recent years. with the country's defense minister, even calling on civilians to help the national security fossil forces battle extremists and estimated at 2000000 people have been displaced by the continuous fighting and local se they need a helping hand survive and most likely won't be from the west. no way, and if you look at someone but see for a long time, we have been partnering with western countries, especially the u. s. in france. but terrorism has been growing. so i think it will be smarter to look for other partners. not because we hate americans,

they might also not blame us for our choices. we are under the pressure of terrorists, and we do have a right to choose who we want to work with as volcano bandwidth africa upset of. went curious to know if they knew john per leaders would, would follow the steps of c, b, a mildly, the us secretary of state for political, for fed that will cannot be made the decision not to deal with the wash and private secret group that she completed her mind by saying that the choice of a michael was a bad was in terms of security. if you'll point that will cannot be not called shedding on the ground, everything is and i made a j. c. and come to you by him. saudi has called population to drive it. we bought a, we bought international military assistant population,

have eyes up all wash and up to say, 2 years of military frame to help countries and up to 6 to 4 year old process for nasty, phase 2, all progress covered. the situation is i'm getting better now and vision of need issues. so you need anybody's, we had was not a guest house on the issue. so now i can see it's not yet has any position to to find a solution for that. otherwise, i can see who you can come here to help us. thank you. i think personally, i think russia is welcome. yes. the united states. they that it can head. let's russia easy. i think there will be more efficient

or who help us defeat their reason in atlas. heights is humanitarian crisis shows, little sign of abating with millions of people still threatened with hunger disease, poverty, and violence. the worst thing situation is even force un high commissioner for refugees. so implore countries to stop sending away haitian asylum seekers the forced removal of people to a place where they may face risk of persecution, torture, or other serious or irreparable harm would amount to re found which is explicitly prohibited under international refugee and human rights law. international law also prohibits collective expulsions, an arbitrary detention associated with it. the statement comes as us agents on the border with mexico continued to carry out. must deportations of haitians, many of whom have troubled thousands of miles in search of asylum, divided administration is reportedly even considering holding the refugees in

guantanamo bay, which and surprisingly has drawn outrage from human rights organizations such as amnesty international washington, canada and united nations security council all calling for the deployment of foreign troops to haiti now comes despite haitians continued to protest against such intervention, fallen the assassination of the country president in june 2021 protest that's have not been well received by western leaders. them i think no faster now, lottie jones, we understand that the haitian people do not want for an intervention. that is the reality. but at the same time, we look at the crisis, the rapes, the violence, the poverty, the cholera, the sanitary crisis, we must intervene. one way or another is elisha over in the rest coals for intervention all be met with criticism campaigners sciences washington's complicated past with the country. earlier we spoke to canadian ortho plate, so i'd suggest even le, who says that also under the u. s. should not be deciding heights,

his faith having historically worked against the caribbean nation sovereignty. what i wonder is, what would a canadian solution be because when it became government running around the world, organizing a foreign intervention for haiti? that seems to me like that is a canadian solution. so no, just into those comments are all over the place on this, he speaks a certain kind of rhetorical support for no haitian sovereignty, but in fact, the king government does not care about haitian sovereignty whatsoever. and it all comes from the, the premise that canadian and american governments don't respect haitian sovereignty and don't respect haitian democracy. they don't want to let haitians, the majority of impoverished haitian, specifically determine their own fate. and so they continuously try to figure out some method of controlling the population. and what it does is it leads to

immigration further instability. and the crisis we're seeing today, i think the solution is to respect haitian sovereignty. that's the macro solution to the crisis in haiti. in the news to kia has doubled down on his demands that sweden and finland must expedite suspects at terrace if they want to join. nato left the message from the top turkish diplomats in ankara. despite attempts by the alliance, the chief to secure the naughty countries a session to the block. it is clear that finland and sweden have delivered on the memorandum and are committed to the long term partnership with her kia are woo memorandum dawn on tomorrow. it cannot be said that all points of the memorandum were fully implemented by these 2 countries set up. 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 and limited on current ones to finland and sweden to comply with the turkish extradition requests as well as the just the legal definitions of terrorism . as well as reverse about on exporting certain military equipment. now if sweden and finland do join nato, it would comprise $32.00 countries. moscow's long spoken out against the expansion of the alliance as a direct threat to russia's national security. saying that the block has broken its promises not to expand for the east, but the allies, the chief he insults of burg insists it's all about sending a clear message to russia. find laws that a question to prevent any misunderstanding or miscalculation in moscow and to send a clear master to russia. that needless door remains open. sarah flanders, co director of the international action sensors says the nato chiefs to man so that the alliance is not that democratic stalson berg is making demands on turkey

eye, which are it's inappropriate in every way. every country must agree to the expansion of who is a member of nato, now must agree to its expansion and turkey a. i'm 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. the russian economy showed by 5 percent in the september, according to the latest starts from the economy ministry amongst the decline since february drove the fall with g d, p on the job prior to the war and ukraine on the subsequent western impose functions. the decline, however, is in line with economy ministry forecasts, which predicted a total loss of minus 3 percent by the end of 2022. and it's expected to be on the rise in both 2024 and 25. russia's prime minister says that despite the unprecedented sanctions, the economy has maintained its steadfastness. and that comes despite the western media celebrating their quote, devastating effects on the russian economy. headlines echoing statements by western leaders who been praising the sanction since february. the sanctions measures we

impose today, i think without question for the most consequential ever levied on russia. and arguably, the most consequential ever levied in history. rushes in the sea is in tatters. and it is the kremlin that has put russia economy on the path of oblivion. in concert with our allies, we will agree a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to hobble the russian economy with the sanctions. closing the european market to russia. moscow has been diverting its trade elsewhere versus trade, for example, with asia has increased by more than a 3rd since january, and is now india's largest oil supplier, me wild turkey has said it has agreed to russian plans to create an international hub for gas supply to europe, with anchor seeking to position itself as an alternative to russian energy when it comes to the sanctions. annalynn ma harp entre anew,

delhi based professor of russian and central asian studies says, is europe. this is the most because the sang some that imposing the whole european economy suffering even greater suffering that lark junior. lovely. because of the insert, it was in black, city and danger. you will find it if you can export full grains the station and not african. and also told that if the water is being paid on not only by the particularly because that would increase but also the unit and leaving a causal confident actually because this will water to me in this state of the system. and i think based on saw what is a little bit, the children think that this would negotiate and this will

reduce a so i literally and so that there will be peace and that will contribute to greater you can me cross in pure chinese video sharing platform tick tock is under fire for missing. some employees have access to the personal dates of european uses for security reasons. both while outraged us officials call for the up to the bond of affairs of the data could be hundreds to the chinese government. us corporations such as facebook often violates privacy policies themselves. all these don't quarter brings a small tech talks back in the headlines as it's accused of letting chinese staff access western user data. and once again, washington's on a, which hands to band the social media platform. the council on foreign investment in the us should take action to ban tick tock. i don't believe there is a path forward for anything other than a band, although a tech talked owned by

a chinese company, it denies having any ties to beijing. the company is however upfront about the fact that a limited number of its chinese staff are working with european data. we allow certain employees within our corporate group located in brazil, canada, china, israel, japan, malaysia, philippines, singapore, south korea, and the united states, remote access to tick tock, european use a data. our efforts assented on limiting the number of employees with access to european use, a data minimizing data flows outside of the region and storing european use a data locally. few people likely enjoy having their private data viewed by complete strangers. but in terms of how that data is used, the west is the last party that should be pointing the finger take twitter and recently came to light that its top lawyer at the time apparently met with the department of homeland security regularly to discuss plans to sensor users just trying to get us in a place where the fed can work with platforms to better understand the

misinformation or disinformation trends. so relevant agencies can try to pre bunk bed the bunk is useful. platforms have got to get more comfortable with government . it's really interesting how hesitant they remain. just to remind you what kind of government is collaborating with these platforms of mass information. a 2014 statement from the national security agencies chief sums it up pretty well. we kill people based on their data. while companies like twitter clearly dot their eyes and cross their keys and collaborating with the state, there are others like facebook whose irresponsibility has led to a whole other type of nightmare in the past. remember the scandal with cambridge analytical for years it gathered facebook users data to influence elections. and mark zuckerberg feet were held to the fire for that. are you willing to change your business model in the interest of protecting individual privacy congresswoman? i'm not sure what that means must be like

a burg. would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night? i know if you messaged anybody this week, would you share with us the names of the people you've messaged? a senator, no, i would probably not choose to do that publicly here across the board though all these companies have at least one thing in common. that's the colossal amount of meta data. they sell to advertisers just to make a quick buck do you, or do you not collect identifiers like name, age and address? yes or no. if you're creating an account, yes and using an account. yes. specific search history is one person type something into a search bar. if you have search history turned on the s device identifiers like ip address or i m e. i depending on the situation we could be collecting at. yes. all things considered if washington really believes tick, tock has done something that warrants a complete ban of the platform. perhaps it should think about what kind of

punishment silicon valley deserves. it's very interesting that the u. s. would want to ban tick tock for doing the various thing that the u. s. does anomaly and not only its own citizens, but all citizens across the planet. are you look at the national security ministration. you look at homeland security, started after $911.00 and we have advanced monitoring systems in fact. so why would the chinese problem be so different? well, the chinese are not our ally. so really it's about carolling and keeping, or even if you like, recreating ail well, a historical reference america online when the internet was once just that an app. and you did all your shopping, you bought flowers, you had your chat rooms within that eco system. then of course, mark sucker burg creates facebook with the same idea. your friends even only exist in facebook and they don't even need to be live humans. they just need to like you . and in this way we can control all of commerce. we can control all of the

conversation. we could control people's politics. we can control everything to want the chinese to be able to exert some of that control. no, you know, lots of rob at 2 30 pm moscow. tom, do you head oh, it's all websites um, on any of those stories you've just seen? if not, i'll be back again at the top of the hour with another rundown of all the latest. ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such shorter is at conflict with the 1st law show your identification . we should be very careful about on personal intelligence. at that point obviously is to race trust or rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with

a robot must protect its own existence with ah, a nozzle as it were you while div easy while furnace us. ah. here for you knew that one slide. yes. south. yeah. thrashing south with a new dock garza, it's an orchard thumbs up all mutable. upright pizza is emiliano

bulgaria from sheila, this is kim sylium. shes thought fit. it says the y fi ela, a yes, my thought, watch an invalid. again, the audio fortune pretty up in the be a lot about it more than just financial sh is 2 things we love in this country, its cache and freedom. but anybody, it's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you've got no cash, got no freedom shackle jackal. do a job that explored you shackle to get interest right. this app she draw shackled to medical bills for ailments.
