oh, great on the okay, what is it? with a, with the e u commission chief deletes a post in which she claimed 100000 ukrainian soldiers had been killed in the war. the figures 10 times more than the one announced by ukrainian officials in august 15 at mister william our view. i see no reason why these, these scores continues in india. so those who want to continue these lead to neo blames blame game on russia. russia, deputy foreign minister dismisses the very idea of a potential nuclear war as the comments on global power structures and an exclusive interview to archie with 3 people are reportedly killed and more than

20 injured and a deadly blast and pakistan it comes after the pakistani taliban terrorist group called for attacks to take place across the country following the end of a ceasefire pads. andrew, i'm coming yet to demonstrate our discipline meant south africa. my spend down news world news must have been hundreds of people gather in front of a prison in pretoria to protest the release of the convicted murderer of a south african anti apartheid leader with just after 8 pm here in russia's capital. and you're watching our international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now our top story, 100000 ukrainian troops. that's the european commissions chiefs estimated death

toll for the war and ukraine. she made the claim in a video posted on twitter which was later deleted. rush, us invasion of ukraine has brought death, devastation and unspeakable suffering. we all remember the horace of boucher. it is estimated that more than 20000 civilians and more than 100000 ukrainian military officers have been killed so far. so there are a whole lot of questions here. first, where did european commission president ursula vander line get the figure from of a 100000 ukranian troops killed in the conflict in ukraine. secondly, why were those figures so quickly deleted? not even corrected her updated, but just simply memory hold. did you catch herself out spreading fake news or something? now the commissions deputy chief spokeswoman dana spin aunt said in a liter tweet that the $100000.00 killed figure should have included both killed

and injured ukrainian troops. she called the figure an external estimate. now that would have perfectly aligned with a $100000.00 killed or injured grey and soldiers that u. s. joint chiefs chairman, mark, milly cited earlier this month. okay, so then where is the clarification with the updated accurate figures? what exactly is the source of this quote, external estimate that the you consider to be legitimate enough to have underlined site in a speech, to someone at brussels, just write these speeches on their bathroom breaks or something, and then just pass it to vander lines, teleprompter person on the way back to their desk, why did russell simply delete the figure from everywhere like the information never even existed. a spokesman for ukrainian president vladimir zalinski calls the 100000 figure extremely far from reality. ukraine's military chief had previously said the figure of 9000 ukrainian to bloss is back in august. so why didn't the you

commission site that as it source, it was picked up by the western ross and is publicly available just like the american estimate of the 100000. now, given the massive discrepancy between washington's estimate of ukrainians replaces and what keeps the military leadership had previously conveyed them to be brussels is really in a position here to act as a sort of tie breaker. are they just not interested in giving people an accurate depiction of the human loss in suffering that the west continues to enable with weapons and funding instead of pushing for peace negotiations? the only thing that this inexplicable backtracking does is so a lack of trust in the actions, information and motivations of european officials. one part of underlay in statement which was not deleted was where she said russia must pay financially for the devastation had caused the damage is so far estimated by the e. u at 600000000000 euros. and the commission chief has also hinted at where the

money could come from of days together, $3000.00. and we have the means to make russia pay. we have blocked 300000000000 euros of the russian central bank reserves. in the short term, we could create with our partners a structure to manage these funds and invest them. we would then use the proceeds for ukraine, reminded me of the western responses that you know, that you get the company that accompanies the, the crises. they tend to suffer behind that the national, my quality down for a project for a you back already. and then just the, all us from the western nation. now even the case is really about, you know, who is in the position to make a judgment, to basically be thinking, what is, what is wrong. and then what is the result? what is the punishment, even energy and it party. so that's what i would say. you don't have the

ability and it's offering to repudiate all the things you probably on the wall. it's called all for the new and, and have been largely it's more difficult to make that complex mandatory age cleaning craft. it's not an overstatement to say the world right now is undergoing considerable transformations and the emergence of new points of tension to get a grasp on all that. my colleague unit o'neil discussed the current global outlook with russia's deputy foreign minister. so gay recalls in an exclusive interview with our tea. this is because of you as actions of that, just for gas on fire. now and again that we couldn't continue this business as usual. i recognise that russia i took decision to

postpone. ah, the already planned a regular session though, by electoral consulting commission, due to be held these very days in cairo, egypt. but we need so because we couldn't just ignore, ah, what has been an ongoing attempt by the us to add a problems to the place this u. s. administration, the biden administration decided to halt these dialogue. it happens after our special media variation started without any explanation whatsoever, unilaterally, but the moment a u. s. wants to come back to the table and resume strategic security dialogue with russia will, will be there terms like nuclear, a war on world war 3. we're increasingly hearing that both in the media and on

a government level. what's the purpose of that? who benefits from this type of aggressive rhetoric? i truly regretted that these happens. i am disturbed by the fact that them, the very idea of a nuclear war became our over time. more and more acceptable if you wish. for general public 18 admissible him our view. i see no reason why these discourse continues. it's in interest of those who want to stir fur further on the general sense of uncertainty and find ways how to continue this litany of blames, blame game on russia. we can not accept it. it's completely completely absorbed them has nothing to do with the reality. rushes foreign ministry has said multiple times that the u. s. is increasingly close to becoming

a party in the conflict in at ukraine. don bass through its weapons, supplies to key f u. s. veterans, private contractors. they have been at documented widely fighting against russian troops. so is america actually not a party in the conflict? we do believe that us and others come closer and closer to the point when they would be regarded as parties to these conflict. the risks associated with this evolution and development are undeniable. and i a huge and they're growing, but we all so ah, act in our pronouncements, in the most responsible manner, we understand and appreciate that such a statement may have not on lee political but legal and other consequences. so we measure our pronouncements with great care. we do not abandon needs

irrespective of how our adversaries and opponents describe or interpret this just because they don't like us. we do so deliberately not to always stretch our own messaging. and also let me be very frank, to maintain a great deal of flexibility on how to configure our further action. big attempts, right? snow dp, foreign minister on for months, really previously to isolate russia or a c, e e's are collapsing as a structure. ah, it's being cynically abused by the very same a group of countries to diminished importance, alternative views on global architecture and on european architecture. so absence of minas, the law girls in lloyds is regrettable, but this is also a sign on how furious. oh adversaries are in jonesville for

just destroying that fund. the men's or procedures not only that fundamental political and security architecture, but the very essence on how the international system works. they are afraid of truth and they continue these a culture of denial in diplomacy. ah, 3 people have reportedly been killed and more than 20 wounded in a suicide car bombing in pakistan. a militant group known as the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack explosion occurred outside a medical facility near the afghanistan border. official say at least 15 of the victims were police officers. were there to maintain security. in the pakistani taliban said the attack was revenge for the recent killing of one of the groups founding members. the militant said in recent days they would conduct

a fresh wave of attacks across the country, as it accuses the government of having violated a prior peace agreement. as military operations are ongoing against eugene in different areas. so it is imperative for you to carry out attacks wherever you can in the entire country. earlier we spoke with c had colored mohammed who is an international security analyst, and the director general of the command 11 think tank. he believes the terrorist threat is so high that the only option the pakistani government has is to engage in all out conflict with the militants. the army of barcus, i'm with headstrong into afghanistan. they put a lot of pressure on the learning government. ah, now we have a government in the past and is the thought a mind which many people consider to believe is a part of the pakistani military establishment. ah, the thought yvonne has assured focused on that their soil would not be used against any other country. yet the ttp enjoys safe haven. they enjoys their clean relations

with the taliban and they are to have no interest in bringing any stop to this warfare. the only option, the government of pakistan actually has declared open war against the thought of the ttp. not that don about nevada son, but the thought he keep not a bond focused on we are headed towards a military solution. because even though none of us like the idea of the military being involved and taking that, taking this to a bloodshed level. because if you wage war against the d. b, they would wage war against the people of pakistan from 2007 until 2009. we lost 80000 lives. now we are not ready to sacrifice 80000 people again when the only one sitting across the border of partisan are not willing to be friends and to hold up to us. ah, go to south africa now where hundreds of people have gathered to protest the expected release of the man who murdered a south african anti apartheid leader. demonstrators marched to the walls of the prison where the murderer is currently being held. number of protesters held signs

with the slogan, don't kill chris haney again, voicing their outreach at the release of the prisoner on parole avenue. i'm coming yet to demonstrate what discipline meant and also our demand for an inquest on the kidney look. cuz i'm, what do i also doing yet today is to absorb the end of me. no, they'll south africans what i did by what did live in south africa, must bend up jolly's. you are losing myself, man, he is not. good temple is our government. they must do something please. for hours . i'm here to show my support to the kids hung from movie to the is the c p into the amc and to the south african population in general, who believe that disobey, unfortunately, den unfair. but jones loose is at least on pole, just days before his scheduled release,

the man was stabbed in prison. he's been held behind bars for 3 decades, and the court's decision to free him has stirred a painful memories. for many ortiz karbala, topler picks up the story ya, new swallows is said to have been stabbed in his cell. why one of the inmates and he has subsequently been rushed to hospital. the statement by the correctional services says that there was an unfortunate fare being incident and the sentiment that is really grabbing south africa on twitter and other social media platforms is why was the word unfortunate used as part of that statement of the 7029 years in prison for killing south african communist parties, general secretary cris honie, the countries i ask what has granted parole to polish immigrant. yeah, new swallows. one of the issues at the knob of were, loses released from prison is that he must serve the rest of his parole conditions

here in south africa. and was given a permanency residence by the minister of home affairs in order to keep him here. part of the deal is that he cannot use his polish passports or his identity in order to leave the country. chris honey was considered by many as the natural success up to nelson mandela and a radical who would have brought much need a change to south africa. that judgment has seemingly opened up old wounds cuz i know for us you will never die. because i never presented aspirational with people's liberation. it was a fighter for our people who have rolled out a program to protest this thing to show our displeasure and were taken other legal steps are going forward. so that this decision, as can be request we're, we're, we're, we're, we're just coming out of a meeting consulting with our lawyers. and we've been in touch with them over the last few days to see how to take up this meta illegal. because what i was doing was

treated arrogantly by the constitutional court, which, by the way, we want to caution them in the seat of the constitutional courts. when you pass judgments, when you pass just the, the humbler, this sincere respect for them by the we saw our guns authoritarianism, disdainful mis disrespects at of the charges basically same. we are in charge. that's absolutely nonsensical. and you don't just have to take the words of his comrades. chris holly was a man loved by the people. you are the cutter jim on yours, they're not to monro fall, or is there one of the committee? is there a fighter for something that you want to achieve to terms of the generation, the end of do you manage you understood? south africa's yet us to the black nation. he understood it exactly what. what is it that we're wondering? does it change this man as a sure soldier? does a soldier admin and he does simple 5. even now we still shocked up our date. was

the steward quick, you are supposed to be a president, of course was fighting for their rights for many the decision to release. yeah. news. why lose on payroll leaves a bitter taste of injustice and even resentment. because he has never come clean about his motives or the people involved in his crime. for the honey family, this is a bit uphill to swallow. you skunky, she finished. oh, you can please. i can come to someone who can get my to my husband. i don't read your head, i never be fed to my family, into my cellar, to my telling m. did charmer i'm to son. so you probably think i over today, chris honey remains a hero not only in south africa but beyond. and if south africa was robbed of nelson mandela by our politics, then you lose,

we're loose and his co conspirators from the country of its future. cannibal shots have a lot of heat in johannesburg. the or leader of the people's republic of china jang z mean has passed away at the age of 96, he reportedly had leukemia and even succumbed to organ failure. mister jang served as the country's president for a decade. he was also the general secretary of the chinese communist party and he rose to power following the chinaman square protests of 1989 throughout his term as the parties head, chinese economy experienced wide economic expansion. ah . in other news, almost 200 palestinians, civil society organizations have written to letters to the international criminal court, calling on it to take action over israel's conduct. the letters highlight the designation of 6 palestinian organizations as terrorist groups by israel,

as well as later raids on their headquarters. israel accused them of operating as part of a network run by the popular front for the liberation of palestine. a leftist group considered to be a terrorist organization by israel and the west. the civil society groups which penned the letters have called on the court to condemn the moves by israel and further scrutinize the saxons in palestine. l sowards the issuing of statements demanding israel stop practices, which according to palestinians or human rights violations. we discussed this with the general director of one of the palestinian groups which signed the letter and was among those designated terrace, a terrorist organization and rated by israel. when we send over a letter to the court just to encourage them to, to move. that's the issue because it to designate us. and it's not the 1st time to be honest with you. we have been under smear campaigns. and the last 15 years we

said to them, you have to use also is to come out, you know, just to defend, also your partner, as i cc, and you do this or put it in your statute. this is called the preventive. it prevent the statement or to preventive cold or something like that. you have to do this. you can't keep silent. another think is about also the victims follow stone has been in this attack or in thought much of a crime scene so long. and you haven't, you know, move one practicum is still a do having, taking any specific action like the water is at us for instance, against the criminals. this is what we say. we said you just delayed justice denied. that's what we said for that one person has been wounded

in an explosion at the ukrainian embassy and madrid. kiev confirmed the incident and has ramped up security at its missions abroad. but it shows police cordoning off the area. the bomb used and the explosion was hidden in a package that, according to the cranium ambassador to spain, one embassy worker was said to have opened the parcel wall outside. but through it, when they realized when it was, that's when the blast occurred. now in other news, the brazilian law makers have approved a framework for using crypto currencies in the country regulating their use as a payment method. the move, well still need the ratification of the president. but if approved, people will be able to buy goods and services, as well as use it as an investment asset. however, it will not be considered a legal, tender. brazil is already seen as a home to a crypto economy,

meaning brazilians, trade digital coins, such as bitcoin more then invest in the stock market. to get more on this, now we're going to cross live to chris ems, crypto currency as an expert. hi there, chris. so if we take all the recent headlines about crypto currencies, you know, taking values bankruptcy of assets such as f t x. you might have thought that the writing was on the wall for the digital currency. and yet brazil still seems to have some faith in it. do you think that's surprising? well, to me don't, and most people in the industry it's not surprising a tool. i think when you look a cryptic currency, so much more to the picture right? than just, you know, this speculatively investment asset that people have been buying. and you know, unfortunately a lot of people are losing a lot of money. really the basis of the technology is an ability for people to transact all around the world and make it bored lists and free and also very, very cheap. which is why in developing nations like brazil, crypt county still has

a very significant place within their economy. while brazilians, obviously trade digital coins, they use more than they invest in the stock market. those are 2 reasons for why the brazilian economy has been labeled a crypto economy. why do you think there's so much appeal to brazilians? i think don't really, it's about access, right? the whole point of the, what we call the crypto economy is that anyone anywhere in the world can participate in it. whereas let's take the us stock market. there's so much red tape that someone has to go in, in order to access that. they have to be usually what could inexperienced in best, which means they have thrown out hundreds of thousands of dollars in that bank for assets that they have to prove before they can buy those assets. where is it prepped so anyone can pocket a whether you got $1.00 or a $1000000.00. everyone is welcome. well, what's interesting about the situation i'd like to know your point on it is that if

this is approved, brazilians will be able to pay for goods and services with crypto, but it won't be considered a legal tender. why do you think that is? yeah, it is. very difficult to, you know, let's take brazil have its own currency and so what we call the currency, right? so when you're bringing another another currency to that, you know, it can be perceived by the regulate several differential banks. that current is being something harmful because they can't control it. so really, the way that i see that is big deal sort of, you know, as a largest economy in latin america say look, crypto is real. it's here to stay. we can't get rid of it. but we just want to, you know, basically have it on a lease for a bit. so it really, it's a positive move and i really understand, you know, why they've taken that. where you said the government likely wants to have a leash, what kind of restrictions would be entailed there? sure. you know, recruit the currency. we're dealing with something which in essence is the centralized, unregulated side. you know, if you download a crypto currency,

what it on your phone, you know, i can't, unless you give your identity information, there's nothing stopping me and you trading without anyone knowing who we are. so really government and now trying to figure out, okay, how do we allow this new currency, this new technology went off society, our economy, but also make sure it isn't used for nefarious means. you know, money laundering, we can be here all day talking about the different things. so really, i think it's a very positive step to the industry that finally governments and regulators waking up, realizing that you know, we crypto people way have to stay. and not all of us are not all about the criminals, but they want to kind of figure out what hopefully what to make sure that the whole world in the back to decrypt that without being labeled it at the very well. chris, a lot of experts and economists, they look at brazil's economy and they consider it unstable. how do you think this new proposed law will either stabilize or d, stabilize the situation there?

that's a really great question. so i think, you know, we're looking looking at every economy really in any developing nation. we've got a very big problem now, which is really the real problem is this microphone, which is the stagnation of the us dollar for obvious reasons that we're experiencing now. the way the crypto comes in that take the most well known cryptic are the big, you know, i would say big digital gulf because finite amounts of big point. you know, most common teeth including the u. s. they used to be based on something called the gold standard, right. so every dollar that within speculation, you know, that was supposed to show us that there was a bar of gold in the ball. really did to be the saving grace for brazil. we've seen that with another latin american economy, el salvador, central america, in this case where, you know, they've made a huge transition towards holding a lot of big or within that government. so really, this could be a transition to the whole of latin america to really adopt adult bitcoin, a gold standard, which you know, which we predict would change on the mentally,

the way in which those currencies operate. in the way those governments seem to be be, be liquid and solvent. i'd crypto currency entrepreneur, chris adams, always having always a pleasure having you here on the program. thank you. you don't now we go to dunbar. swear, a clean up operation is underway on the outskirts of the long embattled city of our chalmers. that's according to the head of the done yet the people's republic as fighting continues across don boss, advanced weapons, are being brought into the battlefield by russia, or senior correspondent, more at gazda can tell us more. this battle ground, forests, and woods is both a cuss and the blessing. the enemy can conceal entire armies. but then, so can you. the t 90 m. believe will break through,

have translated into english and this is a me machine. it's unique, this is that the engineers who designed that took the best out of every modification tag mortification, that is currently with a russian armed forces. they took well the best and they put it into this, the best arm of the best far controlled system. the best on the on board computer when a legs a designated is pointed by the enemy. at the switch he, the senses detected them. the target is, was about to be the main god to turn toward the source of the laser designated. the computer on board gives the, the, to the crew, the option of firing at the enemy, said, oh, but because of our vod studies, the ukrainians, the nationalists of the far mercenaries where the use any opportunity had, sees an opportunity to try and hard these down,

which itself is a challenge. the t 90 m. eas, packed with active and passive defense systems. cameras cover $360.00 degrees missiles and rockets flying that the tank automatically intercepted with shrapnel which degrades their penetration potential making process get them occurs. look, our crew is preparing for steak out on a combat mission. the tank is excellent, especially in skilled hands. our crew is well trained. we work together really well . d craniums fear us. when we get into position and for our troops, we instill confidence the ukranian conflict, put paid to the myths, the pangs ah, outdated. the bear, easy to kill. they aren't. they are terrifying. bain for infantry.
