in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, marty gets exclusive access to the training base for the private military company, wagner, wall, all brushes, most successful units and also had on the program this our moscow and he conduct yet another exchange of prisoners of war. this time releasing 50 soldiers from each side of africa as president faces spiraling corruption, accusations with the national parliament soon shipments that are whether to begin and teach them process against them. the u. s. congress overwhelmingly red jacked

demands by railway workers for extra days of sick leave. after almost critically approving billions of dollars for you print with from las go to the world, this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name's unit o'neill, our top story. this friday and for that, we go to the dunbar region, an emergency worker, it has been reported, killed down 3 civilians wounded in the latest round of ukrainian artillery attacks on the city of done yet. local official, se ukrainian forces used domestic and nato supplied artillery shells to attack areas throughout the done yet republic. more than 30 times over the past 24 hours. public infrastructure and dozens of residential buildings are also damaged by the strikes. one of whom watched a kindergarten that was among the structures had fortunately no child or

a member of staff was reported injured in, not attack. now the private military company, wagner, has been wall of russia's leading, fighting forces in don't pass the group recently, gain control of a strategically important type in the done yet republic. paving the way for a possible offensive on one of the regions largest cities are to receive the exclusive access to wagner is main training camp in southern russia and spoke with some of the soldiers there. the wagner group. hi, the military company is one of the most secretive organizations in russia who i be soldiers, how i be trained. we are the 1st film crew to get access to their main training based in southern russia. now we'll show it to you. mm.

mm. mm. tier, missouri updraft got that letter. i know such a person who show. mm hm. and also i was saying, i did. well, not somebody going is, is a broadsoft. so our training ground here, which is to combat exercises are carried out according to a method. it's simple to complex off at 1st, our employees begin with solar training, and then they end up as a well coordinator teams. it's lisa, we individually train specialists for certain weapons filter mortars and all kinds of artillery. so spaghetti, we also train snipers or fighters come to us from all regions of russia. conquests they also come from abroad. i see all our instructors have combat experience. each instructor has had more than one combat to work with them. because the instructor

yet have not come when you're okay for the token that the complex adibly se, medical training is as has of magic to pass personnel 1st aid on the battlefield. so lots of the main emphasis is on what samples will work with directly during the performance of their service and combat missions is flawed. lesson locate more than means. i used to stop bleeding, torn, the kids who must had acceptances will make sure to tell employees about all stages of conducting and of occasions that when you come. yes, cousin obsessed with up eloquence. ah, a lot of people that are there any? well, i trained in convert some boat, sir, to the army. i came to wagner to further my education and military affairs in. is there any philosophy, wagner group, i feel the philosophies very simplistic. we have one common goal to defend our motherland.

alex, this have look at the secretive wagner group. now another use line to tell you by today, russia and ukraine have conducted another exchange of prisoners of war. this time releasing 50 soldiers from each side. the freed russian troops have arrived back in their homeland autumn military or base in the mosque of region. moscow and ki, uh huh. now exchange the total of $500.00, captain tripp, since early november. r t correspondent igor shut down of can tell us more. this time it was a 5450 deal, meaning that russia has managed to retrieve 50 or with soldiers bring them back to their families, to their loved ones and to their friends. now i'm being told that the feel it was all of its technicalities. there was sorted out very quickly, meaning that well they seize the opportunity when they could. and there are those who have been injured. they needed help. they need help with getting off the plane

. so that's an ambulance here, waiting for them. and again, it's unclear whether will these people, whether they were injured during the back during the battle, whether they were injured on the battlefield or if they received their wounds and ukrainian captivity. the buses will take all these people to a place where they will get the much needed and so long awaited proper rest. these exchanges is the only site where diplomacy still lives in the relations between russia and ukraine. the rest of the talking is done on the battlefield or another story we're across today. so i thought frick has parliament a soon to consider whether to begin on impeachment process against the countries president who has been facing spiraling corruption allegations, including a multi $1000000.00 money laundering scandal, r t correspondent, carrabas let santa picks up the story. i me, is south africa seat of power the union buildings,

particularly the west doing of which is occupied by the countries number one citizen in this case settled, i'm a puerto but the question is for how long following the report findings of an independent pennel, that was set up by parliament, the president finds himself against all kinds of damming allegations. the back story to this is that settled? i'm a pause. i had a robbery at his private game farm in limpopo, in february of 2020, the president failed to tell the south african police services about the fed robbery. it was also alleged that there was an undisclosed amount of money that was stolen, which was mostly in foreign currency breaching the country's laws against hoarding on to large amount of current or foreign currency without declaring it to the reserve bank. and that is south africa, central bank. seldom up was a, is now facing an appeal. he is fast losing friends and his enemies and opposition leaders. i just waiting to actually take advantage of the lib being president that

they are currently facing. he could possibly face an impeachment process in parliament, and he may also face charges as a fitting president for failing to declare and breaking his own code of ethics that he undertook when he became president. the president has come out with the, with his most person saying that he may address the country. the question is to when and how the, where no details coming forth as to that. but let's hear what people in the street the say, who got a lot of tricks, which has really overreaching every month. my friend, you know. so the question is, how do i put it under, don't get the tricks you put the money be brought. you know, just places. so why come from deadman does a cushion? i'm not personally thing that a pristine moscow. i just one day our politics to over think what happened

if there is something that is happening in our government, it needs to be looked at truly. even over the management to get, i'm saying, not only the president, how do keep the such money under the carpet and then you expect people not to keep that mind me out there at the cub rama was a she she just continued to be printed nor so lovely because there's no allocate the dis, disney, that, that the, but that report is not, it's not a far report. what does the say they said, maybe if you just a person, if you're not a person, just say you are some to say no, i'm telling the president because of this and business. so it does know that there's no touch. the findings of the report could not have come, it was time for south africa. the country is currently facing severe electricity shortages. and people have to enjoy as much as 5 hours without electricity every single day, nationally. and also there's a high and endemic and prime and crisis game,

south africa with unemployment figures as much as 40 percent of those that are able to join the labor market being without work. south africa also has a serious problem of lawlessness and particularly corruption. and that has been seen in both the private and the public sector, but also felt on the street as generally, people have to endure the. the realities of that south africa is quite an unsafe country. all 3 things that settled, i'm up with us. government had promised to tackle the man was on an investment drive to try and bring much needed investment to the country in order to create job opportunities. terrible if at 40 in pretoria. meanwhile, nigeria, as president tom claim that weapons used in the ukraine conflict, have ended up being used by militant groups in africa. regrettably, the situation in the saw hill and the raging war in ukraine service, major sources of weapons and fighters that boasted the ranks of the terrorist in

late chad, region. weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region. the washington has been caves, main weapon supplier, but following the republicans recent taking over up the lower house and congress. both major u. s. political parties know reportedly agree on the need to strengthen the monitoring of arms being sent to ukraine. some lawmakers say the current system isn't other quit considering ukraine's high corruption rate, but there's no consensus on how it should be reformed. an rti investigation has confirmed that weapons sent ukraine from the us, britain and other nato countries. ended up for sale on the dark web. these are screenshots of some of them. the issue has long been recognized on an international level to back in june. the head of interpol worn that arms being sent to ukraine would emerge on the block market. you also call the nations that have been providing weapons to ukraine to more adequately monitor where they end up.

well, no jury and geo political strategist adama garber. the 2nd phase weapons trafficking, particularly on the african continent, is a serious issue. now we have the water, you blood glue, it will coral quantity field buildable as i've been getting into that 134. what court knows what, you know, i didn't joining now. we have you said we will see you moving into on so he's not going grandma to come to blood much. well witness. our went to be shipped into our one please. when, when did they believe there's actually a bit of cedar of you on your will need to know that we need to really come together to see what we can do to prevent that kind of which is 11. again, if our listed in the blue one of our $13.00 is looking about intelligence, i mean, we points flowing into dr. aging, florida, exacerbate b u. so just it really helps to convert a syllabus because operate them cannot just talk. anyhow,

we have good to one strong participant diligence on on that data, on those 2. what is up on the politics of lake char is actually one of the majority is why we hope this is for joseph that are formula u. s. federal law makers have i prove legislation to prohibit real where workers from conducting a labor strike president biking boxed out this session. as a nationwide railway protest could cost the u. s. economy up to $2000000000.00 every day. big figures, but as ortiz killer, my penny reports much more american taxpayer money is flooding chicky yet. well, essentially, this bill would outlaw a potential upcoming strike. would force the railroad workers unions. that's 4 different unions that represent 55 percent of railroad workers in america. they would force them to accept a contract that they have already rejected. now the union themselves is saying that

they will go on strike anyway, regardless of whether or not it is illegal, but the biden administration had long presented itself as a friend of organized labor. you know, you've heard me say many times i intend to be the most pro union president me in the most pro you ministration american history. that's why create the white house task force work organization empowerment to make sure the choice to join the union belongs to workers alone. unions are more, more support today in america, public opinion than any time and 60 years. now that's joe biden, the u. s. president who has presented himself as the most pro labor pro labor union president in history is such a big, strong support of labor union. but now he's pushing forward this piece of legislation that would outlaw a strike and to basically take away the ability of railroad workers to withhold their labor in a strike. and he's saying, well, this has to be done because of the economic impact of such

a strike. it would be devastating on the u. s. economy. well, many americans are looking at that and saying, well, what about all the inflation he's provide presided over. i mean, that's going to certainly have an impact on the u. s. economy, but when it comes to ukraine, the u. s. congress, both the house and the senate are happy to open up their checkbooks and add legislation in may. there was $40000000000.00 provided to you, grand by the states in september, an additional $12300000000.00 was passed by the us congress and provided to ukraine. meanwhile, if one looks at the polls, the u. s. public isn't deeply concerned about you. ukraine just isn't showing up among the top issues that americans are concerned about. americans are concerned about inflation, the economy. they're concerned about the danger of war. but this notion that, that ukraine and sending weapons and a do grant is one of their top concern. doesn't seem to be a priority, but regardless, we'd now see the binder administration on the brink of essentially turning it back

and really doing significant damage to one of the strongest allies, the labor movement, taking away the ability of railroad workers to withhold their labor and go on strike, meanwhile, when it comes to ukraine, an issue that americans have just shown in all after poll after poll, that they aren't deeply concerned about. we've seen the bible and ministration, never show any restraint and go ahead and provide whatever is asked for whatever is needed in a conflict that most americans just aren't interested in. just taking a look at the senate's priorities. a previous $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine was passed with an overwhelming majority. now the senate us caleb took us through has ruled against and amendment that would have given 7 days of annual sick leave to american railway workers, which could have averted a potential. nationwide strike the approved legislation has provided only one extra paid day off. here's to take up civil rights attorney robert pet to you wearing

situation now, or the government gets to pick and choose winners and losers them like a labor disputes. they are setting a severely negative. precedence o tells us 2 things. one, the american public will remain behind and support for the war. as secondarily, we're also seeing the influence of the military industrial complex on congress. these republicans may hate everything to joe biden does when a love military contractor. so as long as lockheed martin is in your district or martin marietta, honeywell or bowinger, in these other large military main factors that are making billions of dollars, hand over fist out to supply supply weapons to ukraine, that they will make billions of dollars hand over fist to restart the supply weapons that are being with in the ukraine. that is why you're thing to was bipartisan support because of the end of the day, the military industrial complex and the most powerful lobby washington d. c. okay, moving the program on now, india has insisted it can conduct military exercises with the u. s. near a disputed part of its border with china, despite concerns from beijing,

new delhi say no 3rd country can dictate who it will partner with. the chinese site needs to reflect and think about its own breach of the agreements of 993 and 9096 india exercises with whoever he chooses and it does not give a veto to 3rd countries on these issues. first thing, let me point out that these military exercises will military drills between india and the u. s. and nothing new. these are regular drills in fact, and we'll do that the lease. but why tensions this time? 2 reasons. essentially. first, the relationship between india, i'm china and june of 2020 has been streamed off to the needs of what the country's class and the galvan valley in india and fact lost 20 or food soldiers. china also lost about 4 soldiers, but ever since the relationship between the 2 countries have naturally repaired,

also to see, but also 2nd, the location of these drills. now these are taking place about a 100 kilometers from the line of actual control in all the in the condo, and the mobilize issue, which is happening. the line of actual control is something that really has old china, these military drills and 5, these are fortunate, long military, those called as a youth of the art which trans needs to war practice. and the who mobilize issue of the line of action control is something that is china. the foreign ministry of china has sharply react to, to eat, has given a warning of thoughts to the us to not interfere with the relationship with india and china listening in the me will the join military exercise between india and the us near the line of actual control at the china india border violates the spirit of the agreements that china in india signed in 19931990 6. it does not serve the

mutual trust between the 2 countries. we have express concerns to the indian side and in fact its interesting india and the boss has used the very same language over the fiction in east, in lubbock between india and daph china. now as far. 7 as the whole dynamics between india, us and china is concerned, the triangle is very, very led. as far as india as concern, it's bottles chord which china sees a somewhat a thread, a. but also on one hand, while in the are on the u. s. are conducting these military drills or the other hand, remember, the u. s. has constantly pressurized india over its relationship with moscow. in fact, a time. and again, the u. s. has raised objection when it comes to new delhi bind discounted oil from moscow are but of course the far more ami chief of india also has

a raised caution when it comes to india's relationship with the u. s. while it's good that we are part of the quad, it will be now we're interest that we moved cautiously with the us because washington has never made itself trustworthy. and it's dealing with any of the strategic and defense allies. the u. s. extricated itself 1st from vietnam, then twice from iraq and recently from afghanistan, we must be very cautious in dealing with the u. s. so all of these examples really that are being pointed out by the former i'm chief of india appoints as the field allies, the field relationship which washington kept. the european union is threatening ellen musk with a twitter, but the new owner has been told his platform may be booted from the block. if it doesn't comply with brussels rules, i welcome milan. musk statements of intent to get to it's a 2 point. oh, ready for the e u digital services act? but let's also be clear that there is still huge work ahead. twitter will have to

implement transparent use of policies, significantly reinforced content, moderation, and protect freedom of speech, tackled dis, information and resolve and limit targeted advertising. the ear pass legislation this year for centralized enforcement of data protection rules. just the translate that essentially means at tougher oversight of major online platforms such as twitter. if the company is found to be wanting in that it could be find the 6 percent of its global revenue, big numbers and even bond from operating in the u. well, upon his multi $1000000000.00, a takeover of twitter. last bill, the social media giant as at boston of free speech that led to a number of high profile celebrities. quitting the platform in protest against policy changes such as the reactivation of former president donald trump's account . a number of those figures, by the way, i have since returned. we heard from independent journalists, luke prevail,

who says the e used criticism of twitter shows that block is uncomfortable with online freedom of expression. democracy is not the rule any more in your course. he would fight disinformation, but what do you mean? what do you call? does information european commission is race? guess that if a twitter is given free reign, if people can comment as much as they want, if they have real freedom because on twitter, real freedom will be multiple acting, the subsidized stress. there is this warning shot by telling what one by european commission, but actually on they know that it will have to, to let, to, which are developed in europe will continue. it's work and be free. s o l must wants it to be. meanwhile, the e. u. has been facing increasing pressure from washington to stop selling computer chip production equipment to china. that's according to europe, 2nd largest semiconductor equipment maker, a s m i. the u. s. is putting

a lot of pressure to make sure that the dutch government and the japanese government follow as well. d u. s. government is hoping that this is going to be a multilateral thing going forward because they need to stop everybody from selling high and tools to china. having successfully pressured europe into breaking off from its chief russian energy supply to the point where the e leadership was running around, repeat this mantra of bam. take that putin like a bunch of brainwashing sheep. apparently, washington is now decided to see if europe can be talked into doing a bam. take that. she's in ping and cut off their largest economic trading partner china. remember that for washington? everything's always binary. you're either with them or you're with the terrorists, and now it's either with us or with china. and washington is so afraid of losing to china on the global economic plane. feel that it's now demanding that its allies pick aside, particularly when it comes to cutting china off of western technology with which

beijing can make semiconductors, thereby hindering its ability to compete with the u. s. on the global playing field in the technological market place. so now here's one of europe's 2 largest makers of semiconductor components. the dutch company, s am i complaining of washington pressuring allied states to cut their own, multinational corporations off at the knees, despite china, by getting them to sign on to new proposed ship related export controls. look, it doesn't take a genius to figure out how bad that is for european business. s m. i's already taken stock, have the potential damage our equipment sales in china at 16 percent of our total revenue in the 1st 9 months of 20. 20 to have been a growing part of our business with a strong contribution to group profitability based on a conservative scenario. workspace, the new experts, restrictions will affect more than 40 percent of our sales in china. the u. s.

already managed to believe the u. k. into for in a chinese own company to sell britain's biggest chip maker citing national security concerns, which we've heard so many times when the u. s. is bullied its allies to ban while away from their 5 g networks. for example, french president, emmanuel mccoy, is in washington this week, visiting with u. s. president joe biden, and he's expressing concerns over when he considers to be price gouging. now, that europe is heavily dependent on american gas as a replacement for the russian fuel. and he's also concerned about the inflation reduction act that seduces energy strive european businesses to the u. s. with energy and tax incentives all while sticking it to the european car industry by giving us consumers tax incentives to buy american particularity over european products. so it's no surprise that european officials are in hysterics. it's important that we defend o own interests, our national safety,

but also our economic interests. if we put that in an e u baskets and negotiate with the us, and in the end, it turns out we do way deep ultraviolet to sell graf emissions to the u. s. well worse self, there are only a few weeks left. once the act is implemented, it will be too late for us to achieve any changes. i think it's time for our see reappearance to tell our american france that we are very concerned about the inflation reduction act. and that is good cause the de industrialization of europe, despite reportedly trying to appeal to u. s. congressional officials, directly on this trip to washington mccoy's learning. the hard way that elected representatives are going to do what's best for the people who elected them, regardless of how much a foreign leader complains about it or wines. it's just too bad that michael didn't learn that lesson earlier when it came to sacrificing the interests of his own country. people for ukraine by jumping at the chance to be upon for washington

interests against russia. it looks like reality is starting to set in now with a germany, connie minister, robert havoc saying that they're putting together a response plan to what michael has qualified as quote, unfriendly american protectionism. but the big question now is whether the u. s. will succeed in cutting europe off from china, either through sweet talking or coercion, or if europe will finally just stand up for itself and say enough is enough. longer related theme of former top foreign policy adviser to the european union. allister crook sees the e u is compelled to do what washington tells it to. he made those comments in an exclusive interview for our program going underground, which is returning to arti. this saturday here, some of water ahead. europeans did this to themselves. i mean, you know, russia didn't put the sanctions on them. res sanctioned russia at the behest of

a washington and against the advice of the federal reserve, as i understand it and against the advice of other banks to do this to sanction this russian central bank. they did this in the misguided expectation that this was going to be an easy victory for europe. it's turned out to be anything. but that has this decline, operates at a hastening pace this winter, that the deaths in britain excess deaths, what tens of thousands of people as the lights go out in them. of course monuments let alone in the houses of the poor in european countries. can the media attenuate any opposition to power so that the peoples of europe will blame moscow rather than blame their own governments for destroying their livelihood? oh, that's going to be of course, i mean, repeated every time a you can't listen to a speech without. you know, it's the push in energy,

the putins food hostage making as hostage on food every time if, you know, putins inflation putins energy crisis of course. but i think, i mean the, the role. no, it's certainly not going to work because it's going to be really severe this crisis . and this is why they're trying to protect themselves. because, you know the narrative that the european union narrative is collapsing, not just the western one, because the european union narrative has been, the europe has agency because it is a big economy. it can deal on an equal footing with the united states with china and russia, and now this is exposing it as complete nonsense. it just has to do what washington tells it to do. it is just, i mean they, as one french.
