a monument to the, to the soldiers, to the battery. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. a headlines right now and our t areas of ukraine, a report lead, plunged into darkness after a series of miss all stripes across the country. we understand the lives of also going out in may bring moldova, the european parliament, brown's russia, a state sponsor of terrorism. and a non binding resolution a teenage boy is killed and at least 18 others are wounded in a set of twin bus stop explosions in jerusalem. local police frightening it a tara with

no shortage of your heavy hitting headlights tonight from moscow on t. it's great to have you with us. so blackouts are now ongoing across ukraine after a series of missiles strikes and major cities. the water supply has also been cut off in a number of places including the capital key f, a ukraine electricity infrastructure has been severely damaged after 2 months of targeting by russia. moscow says the goal if it's strikes and not miss all and drones drives against infrastructure is to we can, he adds war capability as a senior chorus one that explains his more outcomes. grades, energy infrastructure appears to be crumbling. russian strikes and we have seen waves of them of the past month or so have had a build up effect. the euclidean authorities services have been able to balance the energy infrastructure, power generation and power distribution systems. the life repeated strikes will be

it with a reduced capacity, but this has been trach. what has happened now is that the ukranian authorities are no longer able to keep the energy infrastructure together to, to, to keep it supply major cities, for example. so we've seen the day of blackouts region why blackouts and evolve in the west of ukraine. right next to poland in the south. odessa, i, kiev, metro there, left without power. much of the city had been suffering blackouts for a number of weeks now. kind of also left out without pallet several nuclear power stations and ukraine have been forced, while at least one of them into emergency mood. they both be cut off from the energy. great. and that is because they were forced to shut down because the power they generate house knew where no, where to go with that be because of strikes against the power transformer stations

will, will power lines high voltage power lines. the result has be that much of ukraine has been left without power. this is, or of course, the spot, if you could messages the preferred and less than pressing in ukrainian press. pirating this opinion that russia has been running out of missiles. it doesn't appear to be the case, it is probable. the brushing strikes against the ukrainian energy infrastructure will continue and the foreseeable future. and that will drastically complicate things for the crated wall machine. i made blackouts and ukraine neighboring, moldova has also faced holocausts with cushion our putting the blame on moscow citing strikes against kim's energy infrastructure. the russian ambassador has been summoned to moldova foreign ministry. as we understand electrical supplies, though all gradually being restored or the european parliament has passed a resolution to call russia

a state sponsor of terrorism. of the 705 members about 500 voted in favor, 58 against and the rest just abstained. or the background, or the resolution has no legal consequences for russia. but the block has called for this kind of framework to be developed in the u. s. different to the us list of state sponsors of terrorism, where countries face economic challenges once listed should be pointed out. russia is not on that list. though the russian foreign ministry had this reaction to the resolution. european parliament adopted to resolution recognizing russia as a sponsor of terrorism. i propose to recognize the european parliament as a sponsor of christianism. lavonne calls to label russia and support ukraine. the resolution went further and apparently determined who is able, who is allowed to report the truth on the conflict in ukraine. listen, the parliament appeals to all russian people, one only to refuse to be direct into this war,

but also to protest against the atrocious war crimes against the people of ukraine commenced. the work of ukrainian and the international journalists hotel, the world, the truth about the war and ukraine often risk in their own lives to do so. now this comes out even on the ukrainian side of the frontline locals, have admitted strong support for russia. while western media outlets weren't normally show it a recent article in the washington post didn't hire that real story. our correspondent, his remark closer, ukraine, united or ukraine, and divided who is considered the liberator and who is an occupier. now, these are the sort of questions now been raised by international pundits and observers. western media, endlessly covered, ukrainian forces, move it into the now russian here san showing the jubilant crowds, waving national flags and welcoming caves, forces to some one not familiar with the real situation on the ground. the image is presented could easily sway the opinion of the city was entirely pro ukrainian. now

though, this black and white picture is being questioned, fake, a recent washington post article where the author admits that there were, in fact many pro russian citizens and her son. the story dilutes the narrative of russia as the unwelcome aggressor. how to rebuild without the thousands of russia sympathizers who fled and even more vexing. what to do with those who remain thousands in the city held an ambivalence towards the russians or even an affinity that piles of documents catalogues his own residents applying for aide pensions, passports, and employment. one listed children sent to a summer camp in crimea. applications to volunteer at the 8 sent it filled binder off the binder prior to moscow's repositioning off its forces to the opposite bank of the river. never in here san the local administration evacuated thousands of local residents to crimea and other regions in russia. the washington post article

talks about the fears of those who welcomed the russians, but for some reason decided not to evacuate. as soon as the russians fled, however, the roubles were nearly worthless and he was left with little. but the shame of having taken the payments and the passport, i don't know what will happen, he said, as his wife squirmed uncomfortably and a neighbor eavesdropped. the craniums might shoot me to morrow. the fears expressed by this man, not unfounded, don't take our word for it and take another look at the western media is reporting such words as russian collaborator and punishment is inevitable, is what unites these articles as they outline their, rounding up off rush and sympathizers. with their hands bound and tight to lamppost and other popular word and ukraine today is filtration. this and humane process is depicted in videos like this one. i knew the who. yeah.

for this is oh oh, to look michelle perkins community recently. huh. that with a florida, the only other, you know, most of the you. so when it comes to here song, it becomes increasingly clear that far from all of the locals. so russia as an occupying force, similar feelings and emotions are often expressed in ukraine as well. and that might lead soon assumption that so we are looking at it type of a civil war. we've seen videos reportedly showing people in key of who expressed support for russia been beaten up and threatened. this man slammed an elderly woman's head against a window of

a train after she said that russians are defenders. we've also heard directly from ukrainians, including a militant from the nationalist asoft regiment, admitting that in fact, in many towns, the majority are waiting for russian troops. for this, up with them before the 60 percent of people were pro russian in maryville. they really wanted to join russia, missouri, and i share over 63 percent of local population here. my dear sir, russia is not the 1st time the washington polls showed this. so complex aspects of the conflict. another article detailed how many ukrainians wanted to return to areas under russian control, but were actually blocked by key of authorities. it seems that sir, what was previously deemed as a russian propaganda talking point is no longer that. and it took nearly 9 years, but it seems that it's impossible to ignore any more. now

going back to this a new e u resolution that coles russia state sponsor of terrorism. earlier i was joined here in the studio by human and labor rights, laura dank of alec, an international lawyer, ariano devil to discuss the potential consequences of this measure. well, i think it just adds fuel to the fire, certainly. but i just want to say that how ridiculous that is, you know, people need to be reminded that the 1st world leader to call george w bush, after 911, was to offer condolences to offer help on the war and terror and gave help in the war in terror, particularly an afghan stay where russia still had assets after the soviet presence there. and of course, well, and i've been to syria twice. i was last year and there you see that the russians have help fight ice is there while it's the u. s. in the west,

which has helped them at times. right. so that's the irony of these types of resolution. but they're dangerous resolutions because what it means is that it's going to cut russia off from the west on a, on a fairly permanent level. but on a long term basis, and i just don't think that's good for anybody you have just returned from don bass . if you would give us a, a sense of your experience that what's, what's happening on the ground there right now? well, we spent most of the time in done at city and what i was impressed with, i mean, honestly, is the normal see in the city, you know, traffic, people going to work, people going to restaurants, people going shopping. and i was told that actually that type of vibrancy really started happening after the referendum in september that people feel a little safer and better now with that said, there were some shelling while when we were there school was hit, a place where people go to get water because the water treatment facility had been

damaged quite a while ago by shelling from the government and the stadium. michelle, so there's regular shelling. but with in that context there is a feeling of normalcy. and that that's what i was impressed by actually. well, in don't ask, there's this sense of normalcy, but is kind of a, something that induces you into thinking it's normal defense mechanism. people need to carry on with their lives. at the same time, we really understood that any moment you could be targeted. whether you are school attending students, whether you're going to a hospital, whether you are sending the markets. so people have been integrated, you know, some kind of defense mechanism bearing on trying to reduce the risk. but the risk is always there and this can supply all the time. the 35 russian prisoners of war had been released off the negotiations with kiev. that's according to the russian

defense ministry. the ministry claimed the troops who are in grave danger while being held in captivity. the fight isn't receiving medical and psychological help and will soon be lifted here to moscow. if a rehabilitation bala one person confirm dead at least 18 others wounded in 2 explosions at bus stops in jerusalem. a teenage boy has been identified as the fatality and what is rarely officials of calling out of a coordinated terror attack. let's bring up some pictures for you right here on the program. now. the bloss occurred during the morning rush hour, at least a post bomb is where in bags to a planted in bushes, a to city bus stations, and the explosives which are packed with nails of blown up remotely. and there's an active search for suspects, and the local tara threat belts has been raised to maximum, no one as of yet his claim responsibility directly those some media outlets reporting on statements coming from several of the palestinian groups,

including the militant wing of hamas, which allegedly praised the explosion, a very phenomenon i sent this report earlier from the city. i'm now in easton jerusalem, the area known as as a shave side our police headquarters. * are behind me, and the latest that we hear from these rally police is that they suspect both explosions that happened here earlier on wednesday morning, were caused by a near identical remotely detonated explosive devices left in a bag. and we hear from the police spokesperson, but the legal authorities right now are considering what happened at combined terror attack. no one so far took responsibility for the explosions. and we hear from the car denita of government activities in the territories. this is a special budget within these rally defense ministry, responsible for palestinian affairs that the checkpoints that are predominantly used daily by arab israeli is to go to work or to see their families are now closed

until further notice for security reasons. we have been at the scene and we have been able to speak to a police folks person. let's take a listen right now what he's saying about what happened and what the police is right now doing association if you will. this is a grave incident. as far as we know, there were 2 attacks and there's a high possibility of a connection between them. i hope we will find the terrorists in the organization. if there's a connection between the incidence. and it's something bigger than somebody just decided to attack the small on the 1st explosion happened at a bus stop not far from jerusalem central bus station at the rush hour. and there was so many people there at that time trying to use buses and trains to go to a work around 7 a. m a local time. and just minutes later there was another explosion happened in northern, a derosa at the intersection of remote neighbourhood. and we were at the scene of

the 1st explosion like an hour after it happened and we were trying to do our lives when a person shouting something very aggressively in hebrew, jumped into like our camera. and he was filming me and shouting something that i later realized was the month to call what happened a terrorist tag that he was asking that before. actually the police confirmed that and determined what happened as sarah attacks. so i tried to explain to him that i can not do that until a legal authorities do that, but he was actually not ready to listen. he was shouting and then at group a big group of students from religious schools, join him and they started following ours and filming, and saying that we have to say this is terror attack that because of the explosions,

classes were cancelled in the religious schools around the areas of the explosion, so the students out were outside and this is what they decided to do. they were following us and pushing and actually they were some aggressive like shouts over there that i would not like to repeat here. but we can say that tensions are very high here. this region has been experiencing and facing extremely violent time recently, but predominantly in the west bank and for the 1st time. and some time the attacks happened here in jerusalem. and of course, there is a lot of fear, a lot of frustration and anger with everybody blaming everybody. but we have to be careful with what we are saying, and we have to wait for the confirmation about everything from legal authority. so i'll keep you updated on how it goes here on the ground. well

bulgaria says it'll allow and all refinery by russia's 2nd largest energy company lu, coil to export crude products to europe, partially bypassing and see russia sanctions. the deal is set to generate some 350000000 euros for sophia. since look, look, oil will transfer all production revenue to bulgaria, not to the netherlands or switzerland as it had before. the agreement also paved the way for rushing crude products to be delivered all the way back to the e. u. well, let's look at how this deal avoids the ban on russian energy exports to the european block. the u. s. put an embargo on russian oil exports, but since the crude will be refined on bulgarian territory, it will be considered as the country's own product, hence becoming eligible for europe. a short time ago i spoke with energy journalist irina slob. she believes that you shouldn't be solely motivated by ideology when it

comes to binding russian energy from here, this is good news. i mean the next to him, i got the reply and it has been the property of russia for years. i think the european union must find the way between ideology, you know, politics and your politics. pragmatism big is the true faith that they the particular vehicle is insured for. ply, globally, europe is where the intellect mall stuff ring on its own 5th isn't in order to continue this book that you're signaling for. who knows how long. and it's ironic really, and it's a bit ridiculous that europe is stalking up on, on oil, on cold coming from russia. the latest video game call of duty has attracted 25000000 players. and while the hugely popular 1st person

shooter game trucks record numbers, according to a recent investigation, believe it or not, it may actually be used as a recruitment tool by the us department of defense. for certain demographics of gamers, it's a recruitment portal. some 1st person shooters have embedded adverts within the games themselves, even without the sort of explicit recruitment efforts. games like call of duty make warfare seem fun, exciting an escape from the drudgery of the normal lives. the game designers and engineers are the expected pedigrees. one might see and a game development team, but the call of duty employs the likes of right, the francis towns and of the atlantic council, a think tank, and the infamous us war on terror campaign to more with very similar backgrounds, dave, anthony, and chance glasgow are also on the funds development team, the game itself closely parallel is current events and political trends. an early release of call of duty featured a fictitious iranian general who supported terrorists and the officer bore,

remarkable resemblance to the late iranian general philip bonnie, who was assassinated by us drone in 2020. we discussed it with our radio host, steve gill. he told us these types of video games basically seek to normalize the images of war with the younger generation. the same thing that we see in movies they, they want to make sure that it looks real and it looks good so that they can help in their recruiting efforts of anybody that might want to join the military. seeing that it looks pretty fun on call of duty. of course you can always hit the reset button and you never die. i think the other interesting thing is that there's really a limited number of enemies that you can have in the world today. there are restrictions, you can't really portray muslims as terrorist. the russians are the enemy of choice today. so in the new campaign of call of duty, you have some russian mobster, you know, combined with some bad mexican cartel folks. and then you've got good mexican,

the special forces that are combined to help fight these, these evil enemies so that they've got to find enemies that they can portray. these games have made kids that have never actually picked up. a real fire are much easier to train, much easier to learn to shoot accuracy because they've been playing these video games and a lot of what they're using in their training now is very similar to the video game . so i think it is not only is a good recruiting tool which is again why they make it interesting and engaging. and at the same time, you're also seeing training in these kids coming out of high school. they've never actually fired a weapon being very proficient with weapons, you know, right off the bat when they get into the military since taking over the range of twitter, a lawn mosque has been came to brian that the platform is open for expressing any opinion. as is obvious to all but the media, there is not one permanent ban on even the most far left account spouting utter

lies. but what her actual policies seem to prove the opposite. take, for example, the account of geopolitical analysts, garland nixon. it was suspended for quote, hateful conduct. came off the garland suggested in a tweet. the u. s. secretary of state was involved in a nor stream pipeline explosion, unsupported the neo nazi as of battalion the suspension. so others on the platform raising question things i don't seen this treated allegedly violated twitch of rules, promotion of violence, hate speech threats, or harassment based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, etc. i do see an over top satirical critique of a top us official, is that legal now left when until work count gallon nixon was banned today for us and he must tell the truth about us foreign policy and it's disabled that while i was speaking earlier to gather nixon himself, he insists his tweet was satire, and the decision to suspend his account may be politically linked. when i look at

the comment that i made, clearly it was satire and there's an article i'm looking at right now and i will read the, our read the title of this article. now i made a joke, but this is the title of an article. why twitter won't remove lindsey graham's tweet about assassinating pollutant, so lindsey graham can say assassinate the leader of a country that's not threatening, we can go on to adam, kansas gor threatened to beat a guy up on twitter, done yet. these weren't jokes. so you can threaten death upon the leader of a country, no problem or twitter. but if you make a joke about anthony blinking, that pushes back against imperialism. you're likely to be tossed off the platform satire and parody are protected under the 1st amendment. jokes and comedy are protected. in fact, even speech that is incorrect, you are protected under the 1st amendment. you can be rob, in particular parity satire, which is all that i did. lee line mosque has said he's going to make changes, but if you look at his history, here's

a guy who basically owes his fortune to the u. s. government or they don't have to tell him what to do. he knows the rules and he can pretend to be pushing back against the rules, but he can't really do it wrapping up just for now. here we're not international. thank you for joining us for this program. from moscow with i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept where such order to conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real,

somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with only 41 percent of us. it does have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that in america we do have a well 1st system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system you have to prove to the government that you truly need help. the simplest way and like explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. just a $1000.00 a month,

no strings attached. i have out. i like them me. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. and just by virtue of your being here, ah lou to no one. no, sir, no, no, admiral, who are joker? no, no. well, dog, more shrill than what they look unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short, then build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. and grill. oh, you know, to production issue or sure, doug, did that. they're not good,

good. good, son, new rochelle. he one more mom. she knew martha, this meant nguyen from all more and i've, i've been there and i've got to learn much sale. i got your name. i understood. i wish to know about jewelry, whole new. he didn't or gotten more polished enough, jr. let's i had to put all the sky mother and all everybody built you could have pushed out nice. oh boy, that's good to go on. what on this the wow, she my and new other. i'm all i can send more or said mom, good student i don't the year you'll not or put them out there to give us a a

with hello and welcome to cross top. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle with its infrastructure being degraded in the weather, turning into winter ukraine cases, the stark prospect of becoming a failed state. no amount of western arms can change that harsh reality. why should it in kev have demonstrated they have no real interest in negotiations? ukraine faith has been sealed. the the cross talking the conflict in ukraine. i'm joined by my guess ill, geraldo and percival. he's a former ca counterterrorism specialist in bangkok we have brian for that. take. he is a jew political analyst and a former us marine. and in dublin because she both,

he's an independent commentator and writer, or a gentleman, cross talk rules and effect. that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i would appreciate it. let's go to 1st to philip philip mood of albert, at least at this moment, the website they lead article is no way to peace without further war. i think got some set up really well, considering we've had all of this ridiculous hot air coming out of washington, brussels, and care about what a negotiated end would be. they're not interested in. it isn't, in fact they want to keep this war going on as long as possible, which will feel ukraine fate. go ahead philip. yeah, well, i think that's an accurate analysis that you just given the. the fact is that the, the people in washington are really matter. the ones who are making the decisions on all those sort of thing have repeatedly said that they're washing their hands of negotiations because it's up to.
