good morning, miss to the soldiers to the veterans. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. oh ah, latest headlines right now and how to international lights out in ukraine after a series of missed all stripes across the country. the power goes off in neighboring moldova as well. the european parliament brands russia, a state sponsor of terrorism, and a non binding resolution. a teenage boy is killed and 18 more wounded and twin, bust of explosions in jerusalem. local police are calling it a terror attack with that's

great to have your company for this ours broadcast from moscow. this is so blackouts are now in effect across ukraine. after a series of missiles strikes and major cities or the water supply, also cut in the number of places including the capital key ukraine electricity infrastructure has been severely damaged off the 2 months of targeting by russia. moscow says the goal, if it's miss all and drones drives against infrastructure, is to weaken key ebs wool capable. multi tales now with our senior correspondent 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 of power distribution systems, despite repeated strikes or b, it with a deuced 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, my blackouts in 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 without power, several nuclear power stations and ukraine has been forced. well, 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 that he could messages, the preferred and western precedent in ukrainian press, parroting this opinion that russia has been running out of missiles. it doesn't appear to be the case. it is probable that brushing strikes against euclidean energy infrastructure will continue in the foreseeable future. and that will drastically complicate things for the crated war machine will amend blackouts and ukraine neighboring. moldova has also faced holocausts with kitchen al, blaming moscow, citing it strikes against cubes, energy infrastructure. the russian ambassador was also summoned to mult overs, foreign ministry, as we understand electrical supply and i was gradually being restored for the european parliament has passed a new resolution to coal, russia, a state sponsor of terrorism, of the 705 members around 500 voted in favor,

58 against and the rest abstained. little background for you right now. the resolution has no legal consequences for russia. but the block has called for this kind of a framework to be developed in the u. s. different though, to the us list of state sponsors of terrorism or countries phase certain economic challenges once listed should be pointed out. the russia is not on bath list, though the russian of foreign ministry did have this reaction to the resolution. you repeat in parliament adopted the resolution recognizing russia as a sponsor of terrorism. i propose to recognize the european parliament as a sponsor of christianism, while among course label russia but also support ukraine. the resolution went further and evidently determined, i guess at the end of the day who is allowed to report the so called truth in ukraine. the e o parliament appeals to all russian people not 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 war 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 as even on the ukrainian side of the frontline locals of admitted strong support for russia. while western media outlets weren't normally show it a reason, the article in the washington post certainly did. his correspondent romance casa ukraine, united or ukraine 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 rush and 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 at 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 as reporting such words as russian collaborator and punishment is inevitable is what unites these articles as they outlined, they are rounding up off russian sympathizers with their hands bound and tight to lampposts, 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.

this is for them to look mitchell from community listening to her that with a florida he the only other movie numbers with 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 to an assumption that so we are looking at it type of a civil war. we've seen videos reported the showing people in key of who expressed support for russia being 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 the militant from the nationalist asoft regiment, admitting that in fact, in many towns, the majority are waiting for russian troops for this up assemble for the 60 percent of people were pro russian in. mario says they really wanted to join russia, missouri, and i share linea under 63 percent of local population. here, my dear sir, russia voice is not the 1st time the washington pulse shows this so complex aspects of the conflict. another article detailed how many ukrainians wanted to return to areas under russian control, but we're 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

when talking about his own u. e. u resolution, according russia, or a state sponsor of terrorism. earlier as joined here in the studio by human and labor rights lawyer, don kabbalists and international lawyer arno de valley. he had discussed basically discussing that of the potential consequences of this new resolution. 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 putin to offer condolences to offer help on the war and terror and gave help in the war and terror, particularly an afghan, a 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. than the west, which has helped them at time. 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, i've been not 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 internet 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 with we were they are a school was hit, a place where people go to get water because the water treatment facility had been

damaged quite a while ago by showing from the government and the stadium was shelled. 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 it there's this sense of normalcy. but it's kind of a of something that induces you into thinking it's normal. it's defense mechanism, people need to carry on with their lives. at the same time, we really understood that at any moment you could be targeted. whether you are a school attending student, whether you're going to a hospital, whether you attending 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 drive all the time. it is all the international. 35 russian prisoners of war have been released off the negotiations with key f. that is,

according to the russian ministry of defense. the ministry claimed the troops were in grave danger while being held captivated. the fight is an i'll receiving medical and psychological help will soon be airlifted hit moscow for rehabilitation. one person killed at least 18 others, wound it in 2 explosions at bus stops in jerusalem. a teenage boy who started a nearby jewish school has been id as the fatality in what is really officials are holding a coordinated terror attack. the blast occurred during the morning rush hour. blues, say both bombs were of bags are planted in bushes as to city bus stations and the explosives, which were packed with nails, were blown up remotely. or there is an active search for suspects in the local terrorist threat level has been pushed to maximum. no one has of yet has claimed direct responsibility though some media reporting on statements coming in from several palestinian groups including the militant wing of hamas, which allegedly praised the explosions in the city. reporting for us is archie is

maria financial. i am now in easton jerusalem. the are known as shaves. 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 near identical remotely detonated explosive devices left in a bag. and we hear from the police folks person, but the legal authorities right now are considering what happened, a 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 body within these rally defense ministry, responsible for palestinian affairs, that the checkpoints that are predominantly used daily by arab israeli 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 person. let's take a listen right now. what he's saying about what happened and what the police now doing a degree. 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 their organizations. if there's a connection between the incidence and it's something bigger than somebody just deciding to commit an attack this morning, 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 live

when a person shouting something very aggressively in hebrew, jumped into our like our camera. and he was filming me and shouting, something that i later realized was the month to call what happened a terror attack. but he was asking that before, actually the police confirmed that and determined what happened as there were a tag. so i tried to explain to him that i cannot 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 a were outside and this is what they decided to do. they were following us and pushing and actually they were some aggressive like south over there that i would not like to repeat here. but we can say that tensions a very high here, this region has been experiencing and facing extremely violent time recently. but predominantly in the west bank for the 1st time in some time the attack 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 to all keep you updated on how it goes here. on the ground,

bulgaria says it'll allow an oil, refinery owned by rushers, 2nd largest energy company lu, coil to export crude products to europe, partially bypassing anti russia sanctions. the deal is set to generate some 350000000 euros for sophia. since our low coil will transfer all production revenue to bulgaria and not to the netherlands or switzerland as it had before. and the agreement also paved the way for russian 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 e. u. the european block has put an embargo on russian oil exports, but since the crude will be refined on bulgarian territory, will it will be actually considered as the country's own product and becoming eligible for europe. i spoke about it with an energy journalist or arena slot, who believes that you shouldn't be solely motivated by ideology when it comes to binding russian energy. this is good news and the next to him we got

the reply and it has been the property, russia for years. i think the european union must find the way between ideology, you know, politics and your politics. pregnant. his big is the true faith that they built particularly diesel, ensure supplies globally. europe is where the influx mall stuff, ring owners own citizens in order to continue this book that you're signaling for. who knows how long it's ironic really, and it's a bit ridiculous that europe is stalking up on q on oil on cold coming from russia. the new release for the video game call of duty has attracted 25000000 players. and while the hugely popular 1st person shooter game attracts record numbers, a coding to a recent investigation, believe it or not,

it may actually be used as a recruitment tool by the u. s. department of defense for certain demographics of game as it's a recruitment portal. some 1st person shooters have embedded adverts within the games themselves, even without the sort of explicit recruitment effort. games, like call of duty make warfare seem fun, exciting an escape from the drudgery of the normal lives. when a game designers and engineers are the expected pedigrees, one might see in game development teams but call of duty employs the likes of well, francis townsend right there, the atlantic council think tank and behind the infamous us war on terror campaign to more with very similar backgrounds, dave, anthony, and chance glasgow are also on the firms development. see now the game itself closely parallels current events and political trends. an early release of call of duty featured a fictitious iran in general who supported terrorists. the officer bears remarkable resemblance to the late iranian general ceremony who was assassinated by us drone

in 2020. we discuss this with our radio host, steve gill. he told us these types of video games at the end of the day seek to normalize the images of war with today's younger generations. 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, you know, 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 monsters, you know, combined with some bad mexican car. tell folks. and then you've got good mexican,

the special forces that are combined to help fight these, these evil enemies. so they've got to find enemies that they can portray these games has 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 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 uttered lies. the twitter is actual policies, though, seen to prove the opposite. take, for example, in the account of geopolitical analysts, garland nixon, it was suspended for, quote, hateful conduct. it came off the garland suggested in a tweet that the u. s. secretary of state was involved in an old stream pipeline explosion and supported the neo nazi as of battalion with

a suspension actually. so others on the platform raising questions thinks i don't seen this tweet that allegedly violated twitter rules, promotion of violence, hate speech threats, or harassment based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, etc. i do see an over the top satirical critique of a top u. s. official, is that a legal now left when anti war account gallon nixon was ban today for using a human to tell the truth about your foreign policy. anything to say about that? while i was speaking with garland nixon himself to a short while ago, he insists his tweets were a joke for the decision to suspend his account. he says, may be politically motivated. when i look at the comment that i made, clearly it was satire. there's an article i'm looking at right now and i will read, i 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 want to adam, kansas gor threatened to beat a guy up on twitter dead. these weren't jokes. so you can threaten death upon the leader of a country. no problem on 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 wrong, but in particular parody satire, which is all that i did, li, line mosque is 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. so i mean, is hosting a summit of the collective security treaty organization on the sidelines of that

gathering, a number of stipends have been made by the kremlin spokes person, including about the future of the alliance is cooperation. let's, i get more of that right now. he's done a quarter stand by for us right now in the armenian capital. it's nearly half past 11 in the evening where you are, donald, appreciate you joining us live here at this point in the evening, but bring us up to speed on the developments. what's been said best so far? either rory, well, as you said, i'm here in the capital of armenia yerevan, where this summit of this c s t o, the collective security treaty organization has just come to an end. the leadership of all the member organizations hat were here and attendance, the president's, the defense ministers of each country and the foreign minister of each country as well. and there were a very, there, there were a, there was a wide array of topics that were discussed here. first of all, a lot of talk about previous successes of the military organization were touched upon by a specifically vladimir putin when he spoke at one of the meetings. and by the main

success being of course was a back in january of this year. when kaz extend needed to request the assistance of the c s t o russian led military alliance to i'm what down basically extremists in the words of russian president vladimir putin from taking power. so there was the, the russian president talked about how the c s t a learned it's lessons from that, from that success and analyzed its actions and has become stronger organization as a result of that. we also heard a lot of potential documents that were signed today, actually for a moving forward with the organization specifically equipping c s t o piece keepers with the i'm with state of the art equipment into it specifically for protection against radioactive, biological, and chemical weapons, as as well as supplying them with medical supplies. and towards the end of this summit, actually, we talked, we heard a bit from a dmitri pascall of the kremlin spokesperson, as you said. and he spoke

a little bit actually about some of the hardships that the military organization is going through right now. specifically helping armenia in the, in it's conflict with azerbaijan, in terms of being a peace keeping force there to try to come to some sort of mutual agreement that both sides from us by john and our armenia can be happy with. and i also armenia said that it's going to remain within the c s t o, a military organization, hoping that this is also going to contribute to peace there. and dmitri pet scave also spoke a bit about the ukraine conflict. he said that the, that the russian military spat, special military operations objectives will be accomplished. and this is going to actually lead to the strengthening of the military organization itself from or i'd ot east on quarter with the latest from the a c c o summit. appreciate that dawn, we'll see you soon. thanks for joining us. her an ot international. the c s t o

summit armenia has exxon russia villa. bruce kit gost on to docusign. it's a big gathering down. the more details on our website. odyssey dot com is 2 things we love in this country. it's cash and freedom, but he, by it's ever been poor here, can tell you that in america, if you ain't got no cash, you ain't got no freedom. shackle shackled to a job that. busy expect you shackled to get interest ride to sab, she dry shackled to medical bills for ailment, so old they could have their own student loans, their defaulting. you know, it's an oppressive and disheartening state of affairs that lays people doing whatever like hand just described by because they don't have any other choice and that's not freedom. but a universal basic income can give you freedom. lots of freedom,

freedom to go back to school, to learn new skills, freedom to take care of and aging parents. the freedom to start a small business to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry about money . every single 2nd of every day. ah, well i mean up until literally last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just that live in paycheck to paycheck, not having any extra money for any thing at all. and you know, things happen. my name is tre crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring

a character called the liberal read dry grout or little red tri, crowder long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to me. pale, sloppy. well, that's been what i like about black lives matter. well, put simply, i think that i do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance, you know. and so i wouldn't do i enter mural sports and stuff like that at college . sincerely because i was like, well, you know what, i blow money out or something. i'm screwed. and those just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice of flag ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just statistically that a lot of people in this country are live in that.
