the lights are going out all across ukraine infrastructure that cannot be easily replaced any time. so nato continues its proxy war against russia, saying as long as it takes will ukrainian state and society collapse before it's military is defeated on the battle ah, headlines. and i see international nato's chafing fit. the state should tighten their balance and provide more support to ukraine. is fine. many europeans already being exhausted by the crisis. a, everything's getting more expensive in austria, we don't know how it will be in winter when it gets hard, whether there will be enough to heat. if the government does not take measures, including social measures or problems, things out than we are sliding into catastrophe. russia, us nuclear disarmament talks in cairo, have been postponed hours before they were due to kicked off without any

explanation a rift within ukraine's establishment by stating that the country's top officials are too busy playing political games instead of helping them with classic riots. breakouts across belgian and he's off the morocco that shock victoria against the football giants and the council. well, cub, dozens of people have been detained. ah, very well welcome to you. this is our t international with the very latest world news update is great to have you with us . our top story, this, our nato chief un stoughton book has admitted that europeans all bearing the bronze of financial support for ukraine. but he insists that the west should keep backing keith and the conflict with russia. rising food and energy bills mean hard times

for many households in europe. we can strengthen ukraine's position at the negotiating table if we provide military support to the country. his comments come as hundreds, pick the street from the germans if you need to take. so rally against us. involvement and deliveries to ukraine was also calling for german sovereignty and go haitians. with russia, cortez was seen holding signs, urging americans to go home and accusing the us of one thing germans to freeze the cross in the austrian capital processed as have also ronnie, the sanctions on russia, while demanding neutrality from vienna demonstrated guy that outside the o. 2 in foreign ministry holding banners, quoting for peace with russia as an end to the conflict in ukraine. his wants. some of the protesters in vienna had to say listed europe is facing a big problem. the sanctions are industrial and economic suicide,

especially here. if the government does not take measures including socializes balance things out, then we are sliding into a catastrophe, and they are nurse today. and everything is getting more expensive and austria and we don't know how it will be in winter. when it gets hard, whether there will be enough to heat, most most people heat with natural gas these days. we'll see how we get through the winter. because thank you. own in as an sanctions, i don't think they make any difference. and yes, the are a breach of neutrality. they have no place in the context of neutrality. they're not here and not telling me that you step up in support of kids with a new, unprecedented loan of up to 18000000000 euros. and addition to the 16000000000 already said from use situation so far, according to the e. u, the loan is conditional requiring reform to strengthen the countries institutions i'm prepared for the past towards membership of the blog concerns have started to emerge about some smaller members of the alliance,

exhausting their potential and struggling to continue their support as their weapons stockpiles run low also want friends, you are skeptic house questions, the credibility of zalinski his own financial arrangements before st in billions. have biden mccord and all sheila, at least asked zelinski to repatriate. that's hands of millions. he's hiding in tax havens. she, the pandora people's revelations, of course not. it makes all of this even more shameful. oh, this all comes are some western law enforcement agencies of warrant of arms smuggling in europe, where weapons applied to ukraine or anything up in the hands of criminals with care as widely seen as a hub for illegal arms trafficking. even before the conflict began. veteran greek diplomat, leon 8, as chris on popular says your opinions angle as paying to higher price for the conflict will likely to make a political changes. what the secretary general of nato said. it doesn't make

sense. i mean, why should we, the people of the west suffer just because, um, just because of the governments of the west want to create a difficult situation with, with the russia and to, and to make a war against russia. i mean, we see the demonstrations that are taking place in europe and these demonstrations are going to affect the governments. we will see government changes in the european union, any nato countries. and the only by the fact that these, that these sanctions were adopted by the european union without even examining what the effect they would have on the european people. it shows that these were, that these were measures taken because the united states wanted these measures to

be taken that cluster. the european union leaders do not care for the welfare of their people later in the program just by the western reassuring. so they will get through a cold winter without wash and gas, the economist magazine, when stated death, the death of a new citizen could be higher than the number that is killed in combat in ukraine. stay with nuclear disarmament talk between russia and the us have been unexpectedly postponed just a day ahead of a scheduled meeting in cairo. moscow and washington would you to discuss resuming mutual inspections under the new strategic arms reduction start treaty t 's. maria for notion that explains when i hear from russia's foreign ministry, that the session of the bilateral consultative commission on the russian american star treaty. there was supposed to begin its work on tuesday in cairo. and last for 8 days has been postponed to a later date. the ministry does not indicate the reason for that,

but i have to say that it was very unexpected. our tea crew may, including what's supposed to be there on the ground covering these important talks . and we only learned about it cancelled 5 hours before the flight to the gyptian capital. and we are now waiting for the new dates to be announced. and i have to say that these talks have been very much anticipated by both sides and by the rest of the world. of course, there were some positive vibes from moscow and washington ahead of the meeting. the new start treaty is the only agreement to date that he's left out there, regulating the world's 2 largest strategic arsenals. the key nuclear arms control agreement, of course, very important. it was last extended back in 2021 for the next 5 years. and according to this agreement, moscow and washington was supposed to inspect each other's weapons size, but 1st, the inspections had been cancelled due to pandemic. and then earlier this year,

again, there were obstacles, obviously, because the relations between the 2 countries deteriorated dramatically. following russia's special mil to reparation in ukraine. the main objection of the meeting between the officials from america and russia, both military personnel and diplomats in cairo was of course to make sure that these very important on site inspections, resume. and now, with the talks postponed, there is no immediate a clear answer to when or if the 2 countries can back to discuss this important issue. political risks appear to be deepening in ukraine as keeps mer. vitale. glitched co rebuffs criticism from president to lensky saying senior ukrainian officials seem to be more concerned with political games and trying to solve the country's problems. i don't want to engage in political battles to day, especially in the current situation. it's pointless to day more than ever. every

one should unite, work together, but some kind of political dancing begins. we are doing everything possible unclear to ensure that life in the capital continues presidency. lensky lashed out at the key of martha failing to provide local residents with water and electricity after rush and strikes on ukrainian energy infrastructure. but lisco hit back saying he has opened hundreds of heating points to meet the demands of the cities residence. kinsman is not the only ones find themselves in hot war, sir, the head of hark av region, where the majority of people who speak at russian has been fined for using his mother tongue. the official, however says he has more important issues to worry about adding that he would continue using russian in his communications with the local residence. i think we have other things to do today. of course, i will formally speak ukrainian, but as for my communication with hock of residence, i will speak in russian because this is the language that 80 percent of hark of residents speak to day or going to school and discuss the situation in ukraine with

dutch journalist at sonia vanden, ender, he has reported from the ground in dumbass. she says, there's nothing new in the case of the heart of man, i think that the country remains deeply divided. the now is made an example, but you know, it's in 2014. the key regime, who bits, people to speak, russian. yeah. does nothing new leaders are the rulers of this key. if you have a conflict among themselves, i think and ukraine is and then there will be maybe a revolt from the people because they don't have nothing. they don't have heat, they don't have walls, don't have electricity, maybe no food. the credit is the only ones facing itself. when so many europeans are, although to a much different extent of obvious reasons. we have already seen some disturbances in cities in europe as a result of this. europe is now, you know, it's in a horrible state actually because they don't have enough energy. they don't have enough gas,

they don't have enough oil. people are rising up because you repeat or use especially western europeans. they are used to a good life. so, and the life is really crumbling down at the moment. so moving on now, you've been to the don bus on your what can you tell us about your experiences? what did you see? i saw, especially in mario pool, a lot of destruction. i was there, i wonder, we're still fighting. the majority of the people i spoke to the all says that the ukrainians, you know, did all this to them and they were hiding in the basement level. i was also totally destroyed. and i spoke to her teacher there could see when she was hiding in the basement or heard from people outside. the thanks came from ukraine in those stores . everything. so was really horrible. how does that differ from watts is often published in much of the western media in your opinion. totally different. it's the opposite. it's like a mirror, you know, in the west, they say, oh, it's the russians who did it. and i know that it was now the russians who did it,

because i saw it. i saw how the people of the russians there when the army came in . so it's, you know, a proxy war. this is what i said from the beginning because the actual war weekend at 2014 people in the west don't know anything about that. i'm it soaring energy prices, the death toll of ordinary you citizens could exceed the number of soldiers killed in the conflict in ukraine, as, according to an article in the latest edition of the economist r t. contribute to rachel, marston takes us through the details economist decided to calculate how many more dest there could be in europe this year. as a result of the skyrocketing cost of heating. now, according to this model, they came up with the number of people dying in the e u because they have a higher chance of catching a virus or if they're immune systems are run down from the cold. and they're all huddled inside together to keep warm means that they could probably facilitate the spread of the virus among them. well,

they're saying that all of that is probably going to be higher than the total number of soldiers who have perished in the ukraine conflict. very different messages than we've been hearing from europe and officials who despite kind of panicking that we're beginning, get gas from, keep repeating that the block doesn't need russian energy. but is the economist pointing fingers at european officials for mismanaging the situation are not doing enough to help households in europe? no, of course, it's not. instead, they're referring to the quote death toll from mr. putin's energy weapon and blaming him for cutting off the top. nice revisionist history there, but it's no doubt easier to deflect. blame for the use own misguided policies on to vladimir putin rather than take responsibility. here is a german member of parliament from the left party. however, placing the blame squarely on the german government and you officials back in

september, you sent the high energy tariffs much higher. that than many of the european countries did not pull from this chi. now the result of policies which really have the dumbest government in europe when you look at it. the biggest problem is jo, crohn's idea to unleash an unprecedented economic war against our most important outages supplier. how soon we forget about all that. now, if you dare to blame berlin for poor foresight and management or a lack of courage in standing up for the interests of its own citizens and industry, rather than selling out to a super national. why mister agenda dictated by the bureaucrats in brussels? or if you ask why berlin has let things get so dire that german industry is literally bailing out to the us, where they, you know, have actual energy. well, the german economy minister, robert havoc will apparently now just accuse you of not having your facts straight or of being straight up. brainwashed as that's which often we must provide a replacement for the russian gas that we have not received. and it puts him caught

off the gas appliance and so much for the nor string to obviously you've watched too much archie. you have to admit the fact that there was no gas coming from russia, even though there were no sanctions imposed. not sure how high back expects gas to flow in to europe when all kinds of financial sanctions imposed by the west prevent moscow from being paid for it. then nord stream, one and 2 gas pipelines were mysteriously blown up, leaving the e u to over rely on the us for gas at exorbitant costs. and that's brings us to where we're at to day. now, russian president vladimir putin has said that there are still parts of the north stream network that function, but that the e u isn't turning the tap back on. so really what this is, is another attempt to get europeans to blame putin instead of their own leaders. as the disastrous consequences of mate in europe, policies risk taking hold and blowing up in their faces as winter,

very rapidly approaches. thousands of people filled the trace of the moldova campus all any on monday. and the latest on to government rally with a demonstrations that now in the 3rd month, the drift space, a drone footage i shows massive crowds outside the prosecutor general's office. the organizes of the protest came up to 50000. people attended the latest rally demonstrations when the pro western president's anti government to resign over their failure to cut the rise of energy prices in moldova. ah, a nuclear conflict is unacceptable and must be avoided at all costs. thus, the joint statement from the russian and chasm presidents as the countries mark 30 years of post sophia, to diplomatic relations. the russian federation and the republic of kazakstan proceed from the fact that they can be no winners in the nuclear war. and they

should never be or leashed. this was the cassock leaders, a 1st of foreign trip. ah, since been inaugurated for a 2nd term last week. and he said that his choice to visit moscow was symbolic. and for cossacks or russia is and always has been a strategic partner and that relations between the 2 have always had a special character. they signed a number of bilateral agreements including a declaration marking the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the 2 countries. there were 37 points in that declaration along go through them all. but among some of the interesting ones, the parties both agreed to increase the potential of the c s t o, which is the collective security treaty organization, and an inter governmental military alliance in eurasia, consistent of 6 post soviet states, like armenia, bella rues, cause exxon occurred gast, i, russia, and so jake has done. they also agreed to improve the mechanisms for combating

terrorism drugs as well as other threats. they called on the prevention of an arms race in space and also the placement of weapons there. they called for the strengthening of the convention for the prohibition of the development stockpiling and production of bio weapons. and other one was they agreed to create conditions for the mutual transit of energy resources. and they also talked about how important it is to strengthen economic ties, especially now when there is an international trade crisis here, some more from latimer putin. as a way when you minute special attention is page to the development of joints, transport, and logistics infrastructure. the removal of restrictions that hinder trade and investment exchanges. this is especially relevant now when international trade is in crisis. taking this problem into account rushes, implementing large scale measures re oriented export and import operations to new market. we are in this trip was alive. this fraction for president hawkeye,

of since his re election was met with protests in the capital asked, and where dozens were detained. apparently, the legal protest was organized by a nightclub entrepreneur and around $300.00 people gathered and refused for calls on at least to stop their actions. and like i said, dozens were the same, but the protest was short lived. and then of course, president of fluent moscow where he got a warm welcome. riots are broken out in belgium and on the netherlands after morocco shock victory over the belgian team at the world cup in taco. the following morocco 1st, when the world cups since 998 k also was put in brussels with funds. lighting fires and throwing bricks of police. police out close all areas of the belgian capital on the port city of antwerp, security for with if you wanted to kind of pick us to disperse devices with dozens

being arrested. metro stations and streets was sealed off to contain the violence. more than 3 dutch cities, why a police dispersed moroccan football fan celebrating that team triumph video. so police with pass homes shield sweeping the city center to them and the poor city rotterdam officers attempted to break up a group of 5 hundreds football support is serving fireworks. and as long as the 2 forces in other world took control overseas, the us, the confederation has come under fire for briefly altering be iranian flag and a social media post the head of a crunch, much between the 2 countries. measures taken regarding the islamic republic of iran flag are against international law and morality. and we'll pursue this through fif is morality committee. they must be held responsible. obviously they want to effect ron's performance against the u. s. by doing this, it comes from the usual american arrogance. they feel that they are exceptional and

that they can decide for the rest of the world. there are many protests in the united states, whether it's black lives matter, or the 6th of january protests that we're in washington. and the iranians never use that opportunity to change the american flag in solidarity with any particular group. if an iranian, the iranian side does something with the russians do something, they'll be punished for westerners, they, they will, they will, can don't that mean when it comes to iran, that sort of thing doesn't happen. all americans do they just remove that tweet or they change the flag again. and the problem is so, so if it's, if they buy it, if the western is violate the rules, nothing happens if non western countries obey the rules, but they become disliked by western. they can be expelled altogether,

and the scandals didn't stop that the wrongs manager has demanded the resignation of yoga and cleanser from faith as technical study group. that's off the phone, the gym, and national team player and manage. it implied that dirty tricks. a part of iranian culture during the posts much analysis on the baby safe. they had a lot of little incidence that we did not even see out here. this is our culture and they, they kind of make you lose the focus they make you lose your concentration. let's discuss it live now with alan. more host of capital sports, 3 point many thanks for joining us on the program allen. it's nice to see you. now it was the criticism mcclin's been has said that those controversial comments he made there were purely football related. what do you make of that? yeah, i think this was a long time ago in nicky because this started when carlos kiddos, the 14 miser or iran. when he asked questions of a b, b c reporter saying,

why don't you ask questions about politics to guard? because you are to us manager because their country's book, which i don't know when questions being asked to verena players, politics and the whole country. we noted iranian players did, they didn't seem to national anthem, so kind of a sign of protests or just a mark respect for what was happening in iran. so that's where it kicked off on the bbc have gone bull headed for a run ever since. and see very, very small points to make your kids and the 1st seeing about him that he's not the sharpest 2 in the box. he's a nice guy. he's not very clever. and he was led into making a stupid statement with a car point with ball cultured after the 1st thing because he of course, she's his way to work with 990. when he got a red car to get into work final against the continued player was disgraceful, died and then germany west. germany won't be coping 1919 by cheating and died in

a way to get a penalty. joseph, for the 1st point that he was exceeding uh, even quite to say what he said. the 2nd is, you know, all, you know, he should, he shouldn't say football coach because we all look at orders 40 cultures and comment on them. i do it myself. we speak even in russia, you know, the canadian hockey culture there vicious or violent the very, very well, that's all canadians and it's the same thing. i think that he was, you know, he was led into this, not the 3rd point. got logan, who is the host of dc off the covers. she led him into any point she cruise at new york. hold on, you're talking about football culture, but she didn't. and she acted on, acted on an issue that you at home can decide what you want to call uranium. and it was a disgraceful in a new case. the way you run down to damp that they play like that. and we good. and those are the more about them, but i think that you know, this is a workable virtue, taking fortunately,

lots of virtual singles in this moment. indeed, do you see any action being taken against the kinsmen? no. after those remarks and do, how do you think that this spot could be resolved? obviously it's going to be blown into a big thing, isn't it? it is me the way you know, all it will take is for a check, for example, to speak about was football as being crop or bought or something i did all of a sudden to resurrect ration. there's like a war breaking out. well, the only way to be resolved is that your teens and sit down with kind of care or listen, put numbers. you know what i meant? and he did qualify, but when he was us, he saw the mexican space. mom said that they were very, you know, they would like die, which was the 4th is fair calling to make commented both way played football. but, you know, did the fact that he would lead into this and it has broken out into this really is a disgrace. i think it's a lot to be

a just kind of inherent racism that the english layers are less guys, they will do nobody. but those cheating partners, they're always diving and always playing 30 and saying directory. and you know, i think that us just being you got it views to influence the whole debate about it . but again, with that, it just takes 2 men to sit down, have a hook, have a cup of coffee and say, listen, you know what i meant and i'm sorry, there's some other issues or a bit bigger than that the one day. like you say, plenty of control the seas surrounding this world cup and one of them being iran that now demanding that the us be take south of the world after it showed solidarity with the radian protest is ahead of the crunch match between the 2 countries. do you think so the scandals will play on the minds of the players and maybe fakes that performance on the pitch? for sure. i think i think we definitely saw it with germany in their 1st game. we've seen it with different teams so far. the workshop would have been so busy

thinking about, you know, what the, what's the virtual app i have to signal those same effect. and i do think, you know, there's a d steep against the flag. it's really, it was really on call for. and it was definite, it was deliberate, it was really, really nicely drawn to try and effect the whole narrative. we saw the same with the canadian coach talking about the creation of taking players to decrease and say like, we're going to get them going to get them. and then afterwards equations answering back. i've never seen any world coping incorporated. the 28. the content matches in most of your time in the cities and, and of course, for a long time, i've never seen this amount of power taking an absolute egotism going on for us to do that their, their, their social media team. it's just, it's been, it's really pathetic. it's really below them and it has sort of messed up. you know, what, what should be a good world, but it's not,

and it was never going to be in that. it was always going to be one for politics because that's where we are at the moment. and right think though i started coming for say, 2 point, oh liter views, an indian journalist from the hindu. honest, he said in india, they are looking at they are just watching football and joined to as most people are in russia, most people are in a world we're not meant to enjoy. we're meant to sit there and think we shouldn't be enjoying this. we should be letting yourself beating yourself, saying this is a very bad. it's not, it's all of a football. it should be a football. unfortunately, it isn't then takes over, especially when you got to lease p r. people think that they're going to get a little bonus from the boss in the u. s. no, it's, it was ridiculous and pathetic and it's it's, it's sad to see because this should be event football force and he was never, ever going to be talking about house shouldn't be politicize, how connotation to get in the way of something is important is football. i do think

sport can be protected from global geo politics to maintain its neutrality though they were even possible. there's always the hope could take, you know, that you look for, you know, sport sport is sported like for me and i adore sport terms. and i love to see young people enjoying sport and getting involved, you know, watching to walk a bit. great, but i'm happy to watch or division much anywhere in the world. it should people pause and it never will be thought be. boss dot is down to the bonds and down to the consumers because we are the ones who are liking, kicking, and sharing. we want to watching and taking in this stuff. like for example, the bbc refuse to show the opening ceremony for the corporate. so sort of part of moral ration, you know, it was, it was wrong, but people at that moment he was that moment around, you know, u. k, are in there watching tv, switch off switch over to another channel. we're not going to take part in this.

and that's the only way we can keep pocket that was for the policy will always be there. when i router to politics, you sort of on the field of play and, you know, on the field of play out into battle field, because that's where she'll be. the only way we can make a change is for the defiance to people who are actually paying to watch much as we're buying the the souvenirs who are buying to shorts. they say not take money orders and just switch off. we will do is because we did because we lost but i think that there is a change call me and i do think that this kind of, let's just say, and i think i said the western ideal or the western, you have to be solar and represent everything i think is be taken off by the masses in pakistan, in my area who wants to watch football, louis. but i think that little by little little bit testable usa policy.
