consider whether to begin the impeachment process again. cyril around with the u. s. congress overwhelmingly. rejects demands by real way, workers for extra days of sick leave. after quickly approving billions of dollars for you, create a 60 m and bought a key at 7 p. m and singapore and 2 in the afternoon right here in moscow this friday. welcome to the r t news hour. we begin with the latest from the dumbass region. not least 2 people have been killed after ukrainian forces shelled civilian areas in the done yet republic. according to local authorities, the official se key of forces launched dozens of artillery shells against civilian areas which started on friday morning. a number of residential buildings, as you can see here, rolled so damaged while

a bus in the regions capital danielle was hit with reports sitting there are a number of casualties emerging from strike. a day earlier i, kindergarten building was damaged in the same city. fortunately, no children or staff members reported injured in the attack. across the republic on thursday, 2 civilians were killed and 7 others wounded. not the private military company. wagner has been well of russia's leading, fighting forces in dumbbells. the group recently gain control of a strategically important time in the done yet republic, paving the way for a possible offensive on one of the regions largest cities, r t received exclusive access to wagner's main training camp in southern russia. and spoke with some of the soldiers there. the wagner group hives it military company is one of the most secret of organizations in russia who i be soldiers,

how i be trained, we are the 1st film could to get access to their main training based in southern russia just now will show it to you with tear mazetti, i got that letter. i know such a person will show. mm hm. and also i was saying, i do also believe going is is a broadsoft. so our training ground here voice 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 coordinated team specialist. we individually train specialists for certain weapons, hilton mortars, and all kinds of artillery spaghetti. we also train snipers, our fighters come to us from all regions of russia, on course they also come from abroad. what i see, all our instructors have combat experiences. each instructor has had more than one combat to work with them. because the instructor near of not come when you're okay . but the bulk of the complex, every se, medical training is us, has of magic to path personnel 1st aid on the battlefield. so lots of the main emphasis is on what samples will work with directly during the performance. they service and combat missions. this thought a lot more than means i used to stop bleeding, torn, the kids who must have substances will make sure to tell employees about all stages of conducting and of occasions. but when you come, get us cousin above set up eloquence.

ah! what to do all the garage is anywhere else. i trained encumbered sambo served to the army. i came to wagner to further my education in military affairs in. is there any philosophy? wagner crusoe felt that philosophies burst simpsons and we have one common goal to defend our motherland. another story we're across to de rushes. foreign ministry has accused germany of deliberately distorting historical facts to serve current political purposes. that's after the been to stag passed the resolution to officially declare a famine which occurred 90 years ago in soviet ukraine. a genocide. the german political elites attempts to belittle its guilt using not officially contracted acts of genocide by ukrainian nationalist radicals and blaming the u. s. i saw for it the german elite tries to whitewash the memory of countless inhumane crimes of

unprecedented scale committed by nazi germany. in the 2nd world war, the vast majority of german parliament members supported the move to call the debts of millions of people political murder by the soviet leadership is outs, despite the fact that the famine took place, not just in ukraine, but also in other parts of the soviet union, including russia, even the national government, actually provided food, waived to craig at the expense of other regions. ortiz from lancaster, if reports germany declared that the ukrainian salmon in 19 thirties was actually a genocide called gala de more, and was deliberately organized and supported by this argued government. the actual history of what happened, of course, was not even taken into consideration ukrainian propagandists. and now german lawmakers make it seem as if ukraine was the only republic that suffered the hunger in the 1930s. however, in reality, other nations and parts of the country,

including the vulgar region cassock, san and the north caucasus actually suffered a lot more and those regions actually received by far less assistance from the central government than ukraine. furthermore, the germans, who recognized the famine as genocide, should look a little bit closer to home for the reasons why ukraine lost a significant part of its population. 1.3000000 ukrainians died and the nazi concentration camps. the same number who are killed at the front fighting against the germans. mind you. the armies led by hitler, were not exclusively german, as collaborators from elsewhere in europe also took part in multiple massacres. the heroics of the soldiers who fought in the 2nd world war are imprinted in the memories of several generations in the former soviet union in ukraine. even scold

children know that their ancestors fought against nazism. of the 15 major fronts, more than half or led by marshals and generals who were of ukrainian origin. more than 16 percent of the red armies personnel were ukrainian. and that's about 7000000 people. they would have been highly unlikely to defend the ussr if committed genocide against them less than a decade earlier. russia's foreign ministry has called out germany's recent political manifesto, stating that no amount of current virtue signaling will wipe out the facts of the past. we can discuss about the so called the whole the model of having catastrophe and the grain and other soviet regions in the, on the little by this on the political. but speaking about the legal bodies, he's absolutely clear. that's where it's not faced enough to meet the defend you. some lego, the thing you sort of did

a site because there was absolutely no intent to destroy the cranial people nation that but on the political side, well, of course you can, we can, we can think about the most an element of that promotion of the, of government vision of history, this extremely dangerous because while we have to remember that the president never face the, not the boundaries passed out of the, of the gradient color, but others we never faced and never discussed truly. and honestly about that taking part in the hollow out by creating the collaborative. so whoa, and i suppose i have to remind that the ability to say what the client of the key of sites to accept responsibility often claims that is for dental side against the

police and julius and the postal grading and people while germany lodge is donald allegation, of historic genocide it refuses to pay what citizens of the southern african nation of namibia would consider adequate reparations for a colonial, you're a massacre. berlin has recognized its killings of local residents in what was then known as german south, west africa, and the early 20th century. of being genocide between 190004, and a german imperial forces slaughtered on estimated 70000 people. last year. germany agreed depend, maybe a 1100000000 euro over a span of 30 years. berlin, i stopped short of calling those payments, reparation, saying they're just voluntary support for local communities, a stance that's outrage. many namibian we heard from the head of an ethnic leaders association in the country. you say is germany must 1st pay for its own crimes before accusing others. it seems german is

a very specific li. avoiding to deal with the 1st genocide dorothy of this entity, richie was permitted unit 19 o 429 to no wait by germany in namibia or do days on the bill. but it is more clear why exactly they really only do is do days into day stems while they have accepted the a manian genocide essay genocide, which also happened before 1948. so allah position is that genocide is genocide and germany needs to deal with its own genocide before talking about other general sites that may exist. ah,

now i south africa. parliament is 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 corresponding carano. let's ask that picks up the story for us. be, 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 poser. but the question is for how long following the report findings of an independent panel that was set up by parliament, the president finds himself against all kinds of deming allegations, the back, sorry 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 was also alleged that there was undisclosed amount of money that was stolen, which was mostly in foreign currency breaching the country's laws against holding

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 fussed losing friends and his enemies and opposition leaders. i just waiting to actually take advantage of the living 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 books 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 hush with reaching every month my friend you know? so the question is are the wipers?

who don't they don't get the tricks. you put the money in b brought, you know, just places. so why come from deadman does a cushion? i'm not personally thing that a pristine must go. 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 do your carpet and then you expect people not to keep that money out there. at the cub rama was a she, she just continued to be repeated. know so lovely because there's not alligator dis, disney that, that, that, that, that, that, 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 such a person, just say you are some the 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 at

a worse 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, an endemic employment 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. now nigeria is president, how's claim that weapons used in the ukraine? conflict ended up being obtained by militants in africa. regrettably, the situation in the saw heal 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 of washington has been kept main weapon supplier. but following the republicans recent taking over of the lower house in congress, both major us political parties not reported the agree on the need to strengthen the monitoring of arms being sent ukraine. some lawmakers say the current system isn't adequate considering ukraine's high corruption rate. but there is no consensus on how it should be reformed. an r t investigation has confirmed that weapons sent to ukraine from the us, britain,

and other nato countries ended up for sale on the dark web. these are a screenshot of some of them. the issue has long been recognized on an international level back in june, the head of in triple and warn that arms being sent to kiev would emerge on the block market. he also called the nations that have been providing weapons to ukraine to more adequately monitor where that was supplies and off. well, no jury and geo political strategist, anti mood garber, the 2nd stage weapons trafficking, particularly on the african continent, is a massive issue. now we have the award that you please give call quantity video, how buildable of, of important incident 13414 is what you know, i didn't joining now. we have you said we both you good coming into on. so he's not a good know of the company blood much? well, we plan for went to be shipped into our when people, when does the blind is actually a bit a cedar of you. and you would need to know that we need to really come together to

see what we can prevent the kind of which is why wouldn't again, if uplifted into glucose level $13.00 is looking about intelligence. i mean, we points flow in dr. regional before the exacerbate b u. so just it really help to convert a serious because all of them can not just talk anyhow, we have to one strong 40 something to do on that data on those kid what he's up on the quality of mc. charles is actually one of the majority, is why we hope this is for joseph that are coming in a story to tell you by today u. s. federal lawmakers have approve legislation to prohibit railway workers from conducting a labor strike president biden box. that decision as a nationwide railway or protest could cost the u. s. economy up to $2000000000.00 per day. but union members say, even if it is labeled a crime, they're going ahead with the industrial action. here's our teeth, kill up and well, essentially this bill would outlaw

a potential upcoming strike. i 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 reject it. now, the onions themselves are saying that they will go on strike anyway, regardless of whether or not it is illegal, but the biden administration has long presented itself is a brand of organized labor. you know, you've heard me say many times i intend to be the most pro union president, be the most pro. yeah. ministration in american history. that's why i created the white house task force. work, organisation 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 supporter of labor union. but now he's pushing forward this piece of legislation that would outlaw a strike and 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 us economy. well, many americans are looking at that and saying, well, what about all the inflation is provide resided over? i mean, that's going to certainly have an impact on the u. s. economy. when it comes to ukraine, the u. s. congress, both the house and the senate are happy to open up their check books and pad 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 ukraine. 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 the notion that that ukraine and sending weapons and a grant is one of their top concern doesn't seem to be a priority. but regardless, we'd now's the binder administration on the brink of eventually turning its 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 poll after poll after poll, that they aren't deeply concerned about. we've seen the biden 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. well, let's just take a look at the senate's priorities. a previous $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine was passed with an overwhelming majority. that was mentioned,

the senate has ruled against an amendment that would have given 7 days of annual sick leave to the american railway workers, which could have averted a potential nationwide strike. they approved legislation has provided for only one extra paid day off years to take of civil rights lawyer and all that on the robert petto wearing situation now, or the government gets to pick and choose winners and losers. only labor disputes are settling a severely negative precedent. i will tell those 2 things. one, the american public will remain behind law and support for the war. and secondarily, we're also seeing the influence of the military industrial complex on congress. these republicans may hate everything to joe biden does when he loved military contractors. so as long as lockheed martin is in your district or martin marietta, honeywell or bowinger, is of a large military main factors that are making billions of dollars, hand over fist. i'll just 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 with bipartisan support, because at the end of the day, the military industrial complex and the most powerful lobby was cnbc. the e is threatening ellen musk with a twitter bob. the new owner has been told his platform may be booted from the block if it doesn't comply with brussels laws. i welcome milan. musk statements of intent to get to which a 2 point oh, ready for the a you digital services act. but also be clear that there is still a huge walk 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. now the you pass legislation this year for so named centralized enforcement of data protection rules . in other words, at tougher oversight of major online platforms such as twitter. if the company's fund to be wanting in that regard,

it could be fined up to 6 per cent of its global revenue and even bond from operating in the you will upon his multi $1000000000.00 takeover of twitter mosque bill, the social media giant as a boston for 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 u. s. president donald trump's account. a number of those figures have since returned. we heard from independent journalists, lou prevail, the say is the e used criticism of twitter shows that block is uncomfortable with online freedom of expression. democracy is not the rule anymore in the order. of course he would fight disinformation. but what do you mean? what do you call? does information do you to pin 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 frida because on twitter, real freedom will be multi lacking. the subsidized stress there is this warning shot by carrying what one by here

a can commission. but actually on day know that the will have to, to lay twitter developing your whole continue, hates work and be free as on ill must wants it to be ah, will a speaking of the you, it's being facing increasing pressure from washington to stop selling computer chip production equipment to china, big issue for some weeks now. and that comes from europe, 2nd largest semiconductor equipment, mickery, s, m. i. it all begs the question then for brussels, oppose or capitulate the u. s. is putting a lot of pressure to make sure that the dutch government and the japanese government followers. well, do 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 raymar 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 plainfield 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 marketplace. so now here's one of your, it'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 has 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 2020 to have been a growing part of our business with a strong contribution to group profitability based on a conservative scenario, we expect 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 walk 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 is 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 as seduces energy strapped 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 defined 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 go way deep ultraviolet to saga for machines that 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 are american france that we are very concerns 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 german economy 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 topping or coercion, or if europe will finally just stand up for itself and say enough is enough. rachel marston taken us to the end of this news luck, but stay with us because next is there a concerted effort in the west to cancel a russian contrib, namely art and sport. and if so, what's the reason on? is it working? or documentary team delves into the ups that goes ah, because of nature's insistence to expand eastward, we have the conflict in ukraine and ukraine is quickly becoming a failed state and humanitarian crisis. nonetheless, nato is undeterred. this alliance continues to be the biggest threat to pan european security is also indifferent to the damage a dose to the international system.
