victory is humiliating. traditionally the party out of power performs much better, particularly since now the economy is in such a poor state. and viking is unpopular. these elections prove the country is as divided as ever. a headlines off into national as the russian defense ministry says its troops, how cross that an epo river take up defensive positions on the left, bank of the waterway. the following announcement of a strategic regrouping un official admits she has no evidence, but says russian soldiers what using by agro to rape ukrainians revealing he was simply told this by ukrainian official time to make a clean break at the leader of the socialist party. it was done via tell dorothy that africa's colonial past still hangs heavily on the continent and it is holding

it. it has destroyed the flooding. there's nothing to do just a treat. it does claims. we have been humiliated with friday night here in moscow. this is all t international for me role reach to show you the entire news team a very well welcome to you guys some of the way it is now from the conflict in ukraine and the current focal point, of course being the how to song region. the russian defense ministry says its troops half now re grouped on the left bank of the de napa river. i saw some lovely at the hearse on front today at 5 o'clock in the morning. moscow time, russian armed forces completed crossing to the left bank of the nepa river. not a single piece of military equipment and weapons was left on the right bank. all russian service men crossed the river formations and military units of the russian

armed forces took up defensive lines and positions which were prepared in advance. there was no loss of personnel, weapons, military equipment, for the russian troops. all civilians who wished to leave the right bank part of the hearse on region were assisted in the vacuum nation. during the night, the enemy tried to disrupt the transportation of the civilian population and the transfer of troops to the left bank of the de need per ukrainian armed forces attack the crossing 5 times during the night. using the american high mars rocket system. russian air defense systems shut down 28 rockets refueling. nobody in the repositioning comes after an earlier announcement to withdraw from that side of the river in order to save troops on the ground and protect that of the local population. it was in response to concerns at the ca, huff sky, a damn up stream, could be blown up by ukrainian force is ultimately causing a deluge. meanwhile, ukrainian officials claimed that their troops have already entered the city of how to song. also, according to multiple media reports,

the antonio ski bridge that crosses that the napa river has been disabled. report has at the scene said 2 sections of the bridge of blown up leaving the crossing in operable. as of now, we're still waiting for confirmation from the russian ministry of defense. meanwhile, lay chechen battalion stationed on the front line in the login's gra, public has been using a system of trenches and artillery to protect from attacks and oddities. murdad gasdio went for a close up investigation. this is, am matt battalion, thousands upon thousands of it's fighters are stationed along some of the deadliest sectors of the front lines. and this is no exception. proud of the gulf where now in the vicinity of children, up up up can you criminal this is the new frontline has

a good stabilize either the front line. there are multiple layers of defense, wine fields, trenches bonkers as well as mobile reserves all over the place. rushes pulled back from havoc of region following ukraine successful counter attack only and did hear the ukrainian military and nationalist groups have been unable to break through. daniel, naturally there when we 1st arrived, there was nothing here, just a few dugouts. they attacked then and tried to cut us off to keep us hold up under cover. i don't know where they were firing from, but everything they had, they scented us kicked off, but they couldn't get through. no, they were unable to, breakthrough digging is survival. how deep and how quickly you and trench dictates whether you leave or die.

there has never been a conflict like these where no bomb was, can fly where drones rule the sky and see everything night and day guiding barrages of artillery at the nearest sign of movement or heat signature. a silent war fought between the east and the west, or group of there aren't many ukrainians, mostly foreign mercenaries. for example, poles and germans are boys hear them. they mostly work in trios, tanks, mortars and drones. the shells and mortar rounds flying overhead. there's very little to do for infantry in a situation such as this other than keep watch in case ukrainian infantry decides to press forward, ah, e ina, in a mass mobilized attack from what we understand. they currency don't have the

necessary manpower, the necessary vehicles, ammunition stores to push forward. so the situation, he has turned into something of a standstill with just artillery jewels by local standards. this was considered quiet when things heated up. however, temporarily we would rush to the close as dug out. a well as black battalion has come a long way once made up almost exclusively of chechen fighters. now he concludes all ethnicities and creeds, though still answerable to check and lead a ram than could thereof. a band of just a few 1000 has grown to an army of tens of thousands, hardened into veterans by merciless battles in the streets of mary

u. pool and cities. fields and forests of east and south ukraine. work for gordon. the enemy is well prepared. there are many foreign mercenaries. you can hear yourself mercenaries are firing at us, but we are holding our positions. thinking ahead and we've got everything we need. thanks to kid europe in our commanders. more ad gasdio, haughty from the guns creegan. less than a month after alleging that russian soldiers have been supplied with by ad growth through rape ukrainians. the united nations special representative on sexual violence has now admitted she hasn't seen any evidence whatsoever. it's a corporate claim. so that's more of this right now. she's farrell is about joining us here in the studio fiorella. i don't know if in case of a too little too late, but a really profoundly disturbing admission from the official at the united nation. right. so you an official, primula patton admitted that the story that she had put out as fact,

that the russian military was giving by agra to soldiers to rape women into also gang rape. turned out to be false, at least by her own words, to these 2 pranksters, who portrayed themselves as the head of the ukrainian foreign affairs committee. and got her to admit this on air on video. so let's take a look. that information was embodied to mean the presence of the deputy prime ministers, the finance you know, and, and the deputy minister of foreign affairs did not make any investigation about via or something where, you know, my, it's not my job to make it. i do not have a monday. i sit in new york in an office in new york. my role is not to investigate the investigation is going on by the human rights monitoring team and the international commission of inquiry in their report so far. there is nothing about

about so as you can see, she washed her hands clean of this saying that she had of course, no role to make, to validate these assertions. but i mean, she is a representative to the us and so it makes her look not great in that aspect. and also of course, this has happened several times and this happens to malign and discredit russia in the eyes of the media and the eyes of the public. but also, you know, fairly, the truth basically comes out when official says, well, you know what i was saying, can't be corroborated. so i probably shouldn't upset it, but you know, you never see any retractions in the western media when this truth finally hitting the light of day. but it's not the 1st time like claims. even similar to this in this conflict, have been called out. one ukrainian official, the miller dentist, dennis, if you can tell me more about that concave, right. so would mila dennis, about, basically alleged so many things about what role of russian military did. she talked about how they basically they were getting brain thinking women,

how they were using the how they went into the zap or osha area and were building a prison there how they had concentration camps for russians. she also talks about how there was so much violence on women pushed out by the russian soldiers. and so none of these things were actually backed by evidence. and she later admitted that ukrainian officials and intelligence told her to do this. and that she was very proud of this, and in fact, she has criticized her replacement because as you mentioned, she was fired for this because the, even, even the activists and some ukrainian journalist said this, actually her ukraine. this actually hurt the credibility of ukraine. and you know, because she's portraying this as very scandalous tabloid like, and so it wasn't really sticking. and she later, of course, admitted this to these 2 pranksters once again. basically saying that this was done

to counter rush it and get ukrainian arms and military for ukraine. you go. i'm what they told me, can you write that? there is a prison at the upper o g, a nuclear plant, because official media sources are supposed to say this. oh, well, no. the ombudsman didn't want to say it to. he only says what the president's office tells him to be in baltimore. but i'm being asked to say this by the authorities, by intelligent services was a different official, so ukrainian official there, kind of going back on what she said, you had a un official going back on what she said as well and fear rather, if i'm not totally mistaken here there's another story debunked about, was it russian soldiers putting out people's gold fees? right. so the official ukrainian defense mystery went out with this story and published it as if it was fact. but it was basically about a plastic box filled with gold teeth, supposedly from ukrainian soldiers that were alive and dead. and this was,

of course blasted out in the western media. and this was found by fighters in east of easy am. and it turned out of course, that it wasn't true, this german outlet debunked it, basically saying they actually belong to none other than a dentist. let's take a look at these and say enough on, could these crowns have come from dead people? oh my god, no, they come from people. i have treated all those years. i took these teeth out because they were bad. over the course of 30 years, i remove tens of thousands of teeth. this is just a fraction of them. so this isn't funny, rory, but it is kind of amusing how a lot of this has been just promoted as truth without any sort of fact checking. right. and the dentist himself said, there's no way these are from dead people. and what we're seeing here is this has been a repeated tactic, not just by the west, but the un specifically,

they use the same strategy in 2011, saying that new market off is army, was using by agra to give to the soldiers, to rape women, this strategy of maligning their military enemies by the west has been used in ethiopia, and mark and in need on as we're seeing right now. so we can spot these and we can sort of start connecting the dots here as well. and as you said, there are no retractions, there is never any sort of apology. in fact, those, those retractions are hidden. ortiz, articles are hidden. so many counter media is hidden by the west. so the stories never come to light. and if they do, they do at any point, finally come to light. it's not addressed. it's just not address because the job has already been done. the so called information has already seeped into the public consciousness. fear rella, isabel, appreciate your investigative work. thank you. thank you. well, the developed world suddenly turning back to nuclear power. that's one of the main take away so far from the un climate change conference ongoing in egypt. the pushes

happening, despite criticism of africa's own efforts to develop atomic energy in its search for reliable and affordable. well, energy, so is africa correspondence, catabolic tattler following last year's united nations climate change conference in class gold, 17 african countries expressed an interest in acquiring nuclear at the base load to support its people and economies and moved that was not embraced by the rich west. the nations or their financial institutions, but they stand here now for the 1st time ever had a you and climate change conference, this one happening in egypt as club 27. nuclear is not only back on the agenda, but it has its own pavilion. so what's changed? well, there was a super critical because we're actually told that nuclear is a no go, you know, and it's a source and should not even be pursued under any closer comes since suddenly. we

hear that the western countries are now actually pursuing nuclear, viciously u. k. s would not be on the table, nor have france that is expanding his nuclear base. you have germany, that is actually now looking at even building up nuclear plants and expanding his current capacity. so we, we, singer hypocritical starns, but western hypocrisy is nothing new to most africans. earlier this year we saw european lead as rushing for africa, fossil fuels, while preaching the exact opposite message to africans. and in august, south africa's coal exposed to europe. we're up 720 percent and they have not even picked yet. and it's the same story for the north african natural gas exports to europe, which leads many africans to ask. the question, is climate change only a concern? when it suits the global, not german changes or crisis only when it suits the you know, you know,

the western congress, particularly as for certain the global not which is currently being the dominant player on pushing for climate change mitigation. but we are not seeing any aspect of actual insured in that article which is currently the list. it us is actually given priority of developing a snotty asset as ensuring that we can have nuclear capacity bays, and more from all our sources. almost all africans are affected by the lack of reliable base load energy. every single day. african countries need to be very decisive. we need the industrialization to, we need to develop meant. and we need a really robust energy solution, which in this only case for nuclear, is the only solution available right now. and african cultural should be pursuing latiere solutions viciously and ensuring that they can stand independent g n because of the pollution that has been caused by many was encounters. this would actually be making sure that african countries are not punished for something that

didn't cost. and when south africa wanted to pursue more nuclear in 2015 west than financial institutions, had closed the tabs on funding it. but now, 7 years later, it themes, the tabs are opening again. last time were south africa, could have used to plan to has building more nuclear power stations, as well as reducing their emissions. so that that has an added country doesn't have water. when you have you clear, then you're also answer the issue of water provision because you can then successfully de saline. that is a direction we should be growing, but nuclear so regulated that there's an ingredient of time on how long it would take for you to commission nuclear. so the longer we delay to actually commence with nuclear installation, the more we're gonna put this country in a state of arrested development. it is not only about renewables is really about cleaner and less emitting technologies. and nuclear is,

is one big source of low cabinet, a power so we should leave it on the table. africa. energy demand is projected to grow by 80 percent. by the year 2040 and $4.00 people on the ground reliable, consistent, and affordable energy. it's more important before any talks of emissions, especially in the face of what themes like energy apartheid. but as they did when south africa needed them politically, the waste is yet again showing its craft the double speak and climate hypocrisy. god, i believe had sample out of the ingenious, vic, the president of the socialist party. it was zambia chimed in on the subject, saying african nations need to be able to decide their own destiny. free from outside interference, in terms of preserving the planets in tim's awful global warming. they have

destroyed the planets. we are where we load to because of all actions, but to their actions. they have an unleashed and unprecedented consumerism that is destroying the planet. yes, we to for profits has destroyed the planets. they have nothing to teach us. we have been in court all night. we have been treated doesn't slims. we have been humiliated for over 600. yes. the forms change continually, but to the content of the exploitation of the humiliation is the same. we have to put an end to this. if we have to have a bit, a wilt in more just mafia more human, wilt. they don't understand that. or if they do it, they don't want it. nicholas, they want to ment in their lives bit. i don't expense it to going to continue for if there has to be a time when that ins we're going to continue to be at the us is

grateful for your company. for this evening program, a rushes ambassadors with united states has lashed out of washington for downgrading the country's market economy status. the treasury license does not relieve the united states have responsibility for the imbalances in world markets, which are caused by numerous illegitimate unilateral barriers. i mean, rising prices, disruption of supply chains, problems in the field of food security. in the same list, the administration announced today opposite to logic is a statement about depriving russia of the status of a country with a market economy. now, a new designation would allow the u. s. to raise tariffs on certain russian imports . russia will join 11 other countries including 9 ex soviet republics, as well as china and vietnam that are classified as non market economies by the united states. now, despite this, washington is not cutting its business ties with moscow. energy related

transactions with 3 main russian banks of being allowed to continue until may. while funding for russian diplomatic missions has been committed off to being blocked since april, it sounds a bit confusing crossing lived on a tama longo, geopolitical and market analyst of course, publisher of the gold goats and guns newsletter. always good to see a tom. thank you very much for your time here on the program. i don't really get it . what it, what is this? what does this mean for russia and what is the motive of washington here? i think we've got to go back and look at what's happened in the last couple days from the headline perspective. right. we've heard stories about national security advisor, jim sullivan happening toss behind the scenes with russia. diplomats and well, i think there's a bigger story happening here that both sides kind of want of a pause in the hostilities. and because of that, we're starting to see some,

some secondary knock on effects of that. and one of that would be, well, you know, if you want to like stop hostilities new frame for a little while while we both sides size and upper river. well then you want to keep access to energy once it. well, i think that's part of what yeah. okay, i'm still still trying to get to grips to the toma. i still don't really get a clear picture here. i mean the rubel isn't it supposed to be rubble by, by this point? and, and what wasn't cutting off russian energy supposed to stop russia from being able to finance is confident in it, in ukraine. i, i'm still not getting it tom, you can have to be better than that. i, you know, i agree with you. i don't think that the that the sanctions have worked and i think everybody knows the sanctions were, haven't work by now needs to refill the espia, the strategic petroleum reserve. here in the united states. he, at the same time, wants to starve a domestic production of their,

of their investment money. so he has to either allow russian continue. no russian imports of oil against the car bouts against the sanctions policy or allow trackers in the permian basin actually makes money. and you know this, this is, this is the rockmart place that they're, that they're, that they're dom policy. it's perhaps it's dumb policy. and what else to tell you in? and it's even worse when you start big, you might just read an article morning saying it shirts of russian oil tankers. don't have a clear picture of how they're going to operate when the sanctions will fact will worse, right? back it there, tom, this is something i wanted to bring you up on a because the, as, as you, what you're saying, a g 70 is expected to put a price cap on rogers oil. as of what december the 5th, russia has said it was the sell to those who want the discount um and how is that? truthfully told, how is that gonna work out? you want to put a price campus. i somebody said to is somebody said be analysis. you go into a bar,

you say to the boss and i want that pint of bay, but i'm only going to give you $0.20 for. it doesn't really work like that. well, they think it does because they think they have enough guns and they think they have enough pressure, they can put in the bringing up pressure to bear in order to get that done. and i don't really think they have that. and i think it's the closer we get to this, this, this moment time, the more we're going to realize this. i mean, we already know that the blending roles and the point of origin roles within the year allow for india, for example, to take russian oil finance and then send the oil or what or diesel or whatever. where the india point of origin label slapped on it and sell it back to your unit. so, and we're already seeing, you know, in china do the same thing that we're trying to as well why or why? because they have like a big end. but some of the but i didn't receive all the

time. i'm installing it because there's a step. and so it's all booked up. all just fine. big think best a best one was absent. that's it. yeah, yeah. tom, i, you know, i'm so glad because we got that last thought out of you because the signal is just being dropping out rather poorly. but a big fan of your work told me, you know, we're living through really, really fascinating times. i know there are a lot of worries in the world right now, but i know your specialty, your cup of tea with geo politics and geo economics. i mean, you must be enjoying all the different headlines popping up every single day these days. tommy longo, geopolitical market analysts, publisher of the gold goats in guns newsletter, looking forward to your next publication. thank you. thank you. is being increasingly drawn into the conflict in ukraine. that's the view of

the hungarian president who set the block will shortly be deciding just how much money to send to kiev. again, i just assumed sally 3 in the european union fuss decided to supply weapons, but 1st only non lethal. and then the you began to supply lethal weapons. now he, the accordion president is training ukrainian military personnel on the territory of european countries. and in the next coming days began to decide the financing button of maintaining the ukrainian economy. thus, we're getting more and more involved in this conflict. european leaders have repeatedly stated that the e u is not a party to the ukraine conflict back in may, for example, french president emanuel michael said, quote, we are not at war with russia. we work as europeans for the preservation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. although my call is always talking about being at war with every policy problem. on the other hand, he was at war with cove id. he said that he was at war with climate change earlier this week, and he's repeatedly evoked a war economy, which is kind of

a weird thing to say if you're not actually involved in a war. right. so a hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon, is like the bouncer at the casino. he just stepped in and blocked the use gambling of another 18000000000 euros on ukraine. yet german foreign minister anna lena bear block said that or bon, that was the one quote, playing poker. it's re, the e u, this play naked poker here, and it's currently down to its boxer shorts. but that didn't stop the blocks chief diplomat yo's that burrell from ramping up rhetoric at a clump for it's dealing with you defense mobility. we need to adapt our mobility system for our troops to be able to transport and deploy quickly all their military capacities. for example, it takes at least 5 days for across border transport of a military capacity from one country to another. that is to long 2nd, the european defense agency will take forward the work on cross border movement permissions and custom formalities,

establishing and network for smart logistics. 3rd, we have to work closer with our partners. the 1st one, nato. nato's cooperation has to be intensified, but also with partners. so what's the point of talking about urgent troop movement and logistic movement around europe went just a few months ago, burrell himself was talking about how the block would run out of ammo in 2 weeks. if it was ever involved in actual war, maybe the mobility were, can get troops to just, you know, run really fast when they're out of ammo. friends, president mack whole just pulled up, the drawbridge on francis military mission operation back can in this a hell region of africa this week. after being kicked out of molly earlier this year, but that hasn't stopped mac haul from talking tough on french and european defense at home. we must re learn how to mobilize the vital forces of our country to serve our sovereignty. our nuclear forces contribute through their own existence to the security of france and europe. so don't look at what just happened in africa. pay

attention to what's happening in europe, wrapping things up here. apparently, macro recently included influence operations as a main focus of frances new military strategy. which just seems to be a way to use military grade tools and tactics to protect the establishments. narrative, kind of like what the canadian government did when a deployed afghan war propaganda tools on canadians to influence public opinion during the cove it pandemic. so european officials are having a bit of a war drum jam session with each other these days. a french security and defense chief is even outspoken. the pessimistic about the odds of avoiding a direct conflict. the rupture introduced by the war and the reverse ability of russian strategic choices make it necessary to anticipate a confrontation with moscow. it's really hard to figure out what the e u is trying to get out of talking tough on war when it's about the last thing that they need or the european citizens need right now. all right, thank you. joining us are winowski international for this friday program. life from

a russian capital to catch up on anything you like doughty via all website policy dot com. we're also all across a plethora of telegram channels as well. ah, technically speaking the g o. p can claim victory in the mid term elections, but that victory is humiliating. traditionally, the party out of power performs much better, particularly since now the economy is in such a poor state and by view is unpopular. these elections proved the country is as divided as ever ah ah, goodness could the, the court border control.
