senior to have the resources of the land and the government continue to confiscate land land and extended the settlement and implementing a collective punishment against for this year and be able to in gaza, being on that need as a bit of senior and for it's still being these and hold to the accountability except international and security code as addition and international law as a tool for ending this conflict. many thanks for joining us on the program. really appreciate your insight most and up around the down former director of the palestinian non governmental organizations network. thank you. now the democratic republic of congo continued its fight for peace with negotiations between the government and rebel groups wrapping up with more promises than results . local correspondent, among the piano reports from kenya, whether talks took place. this net is xander crystal,

when the east african community concludes it, not all parties convinced that real meaningful solutions have been found. the announcement that all countries will agree to follow the agreement stipulated in the agreement, may only be considered as a small step for negotiate and say that even us most if one is a step in the right direction, we have made progress. and i'm hopeful that when we meet again in goal my, which is the place and we have said that that should happen between january and february. we should be able to report progress on the items that have been agreed upon here and then engage into some of the more medium term and long term agenda items that require time when we, we meet at our, at our next meeting, we help you today. we can see that we made a lot of august because we started somewhere there will be one in april. then we and i will be to where we engage with groups and leaders of the c v society. and

today you see most of them here and they mentioned this is fire until in activities to happen in the regions under the control to dave, to the community. so they're all committed to release of what recalls child soldiers are the same time. they're all ready to continue, are spitting to the dfcs program, which is a program of disarmament. demobilization, the integration into our communities and stabilization, the citizens of the theme and not to be happens. what was b as a major piece took over the last 3 weeks. many lives continue to be lost in a conflict in the region with the potential of affecting millions of lives over the next few months. the east african community hosted talks, which ended abruptly as several delegations walked out, claiming they were still to be paid money promised to them for taken part. for my canyon president weaver kenyatta was forced to postpone the closing ceremony. but thomas, the money would be paid on. meanwhile,

the d. r. c. government is accused the main rebel group and $23.00 of killing more than $270.00 people, including children in the country that rested 8 tens of thousands of catholics took to the streets of the country at the weekend to protest the alleged massacre and 23 leaders, however, denied any involvement security with consulting at wilson campbell, c. m. 23 is not the sole violent group in the country. i think it's a very important that for, for this time around the rebel groups are members from the day are seek. don't mean side mate on the negotiate student table because obviously it becomes a bit oh, when this part is to lord meet like he does up in the past. in the past. leaders usually wonder i'm the other part is negotiating. the piece process is without involving the rebel groups. so actually i'll say that will cover people. but as

long as wonder and uganda are not put under pressure for, for these piece if works, then i always believe that the problems will continue up resisting. so i think go, we have to look beyond in 23 when we look at the file. thanks for joining us there . when i see international this wednesday, we'll be back after this, that short break. ah, ah ah ah, as the e u final ice is yet another round of sanctions against russia,

there is a growing awareness among europeans that washington stands to gain economically from the west proxy war on moscow western sanctions or punishing europeans. is this what the europeans signed up for? ah ah, welcome back. we can now listen into president vladimir putin address to the national council for civil society and human rights expected to focus on developing the new western russian regions less find out. because human arise and appreciate you would not be exaggeration to say that you are practically

invested in effort to deal and then your work inspired me. you believe you have invested your heart and soul in this activity, helping those who need your support and assistance. i would like to thank you all since there is no cause you have and the problem is rejoicing that you have been proactively working on the major issues, including education, health care, environment protection, children's rights, and many other questions. that's very important. i know that you completed and 1st on the visit, all right, so for the russian citizens and have a roadmap for implementing campus plan and you all work on the field and delivering the necessary medicines you all of the people who need

them primarily cancer patients that are also regional projects, so you're working at the federal and regional level. so this means that you are an important voice in these efforts. today we will discuss legislation on n g o. so we will discuss to the judiciary, preserving cultural heritage and many other questions. so of course it will pay a lot of attention to the special mill ration from the very 1st day. mr. for the and other members have been there to explain the true causes. behind this special new, sharper ration and to oppose a lie racism loose a full bill, anti russian attitudes and the fake that the foreign media and other propaganda

outlets have been spreading and your efforts to stand up for the rights and the truth. so the ones that our people hold in don't bother. you stood up for the cultural heritage that we share. and this is very important. you continue your efforts to expose not to crimes us millions. and we know that people and don't boss have been suffering from these crimes and the international community, the so called international community has been turning a blind eye to the crimes for a long years. and the council has relayed the information in this regard to the relevant international organizations. but the organizations in charge of supporting and promoting human rights. but there are

most people who now accuse us they pretended to be blind than death. if you want little and only when the special nil sure operation started the year and human rights council and other human rights organizations, suddenly became proactive and demonstrated as their buys than cynical attitude. they started and shifting the blame on others on this means that these organizations are unable to perform as their mission. and the russia had to withdraw from a number of these organizations following these events. and the human rights council in russia could serve as an international platform for discussing human rights and ways of defending human rights in today's world. and we

need to look at this issue from in all its aspect. so we didn't do that. sometimes we'll see that the human rights agenda is being hijacked to this choice sovereignty in some countries, italy, and to assert it. i logical political or economic dominance some colleagues. so thank you so much for your proactive contribution to assisting people in our new territories. and for example, journalists maybe even though what issues has been working in done by us since 2014, and that when the special mills reparation and thoughts on the way should visit the front line several times. and she organizes for people in liberated territories in this year. we have many new members in the account, so we have prominent people,

opinion leaders who joined the counsel, colluding good. the mississippi cannot who heads free don bus movement and others soon it was and also all the head of dr. lisa organization, which helps sick children and helps evacuate of them being well dr. lisa yellows or other lim computer was a proactive member of the county. so you put him into the store. well, he and she was the 1st one to start evacuating 6 children from don bus. i hope that your experience and your knowledge will benefit new territories and will help promote human rights and, and jose in these territories. i also believe that with new counsel were that new members remains

effective and remain so bold in its action by raising the issues of that matter and working together with the government to resolve the issues we're face, we're living in challenging times. so your position with your public royce, your statement must be accurate and must to contribute to bringing the society closer together. and we see this all the time. so i suggest that we start our meeting. so mr. for div please, you have the floor. thank you so much, mr. fulton. mr. bowden, colleague. so what you're going to love makes so much more to the counsel focuses on the most well to say that listening in it to the russian president vladimir putin, as he addressed the national council of the civil society and human rights, which focused on the development of the new western regions also havoc, however,

discussing how the international community had failed to address human rights violations in those regions in the past. and russia is seeking to rectify that will be breaking down the main points of what president he's in, has that set and bringing it to you later in the program. so stay with us. but now living on 12 people, including 2 journalists, have been a k. i killed by us forces and find that in 2007 could be mistaken for legitimate targets. but the argument of a prominent u. s. national defense lawyers speaking as a panel on the case of julian assange sponsored by a think tank founded by former c i a director mock said but didn't know who they were shooting that they thought they were shooting at rescuers of enemy. and you can, under the laws of war, kill the rescuers of the enemy, cause their looked at as being the enemy, the grey zones. the editor in chief max blumenthal was that the event mark said is

arguing for the legality of attacks on not only rescuers but civilians in general if they are seen in the same space as the enemy. and in this case, he was arguing that julian assange and wiki leaks should not have released the so called digital murder video, showing a u. s. helicopter gunship, massacring a group of 12 iraqis, including reuters personnel journalists who are mistaken for insurgents that was marked as aids. justification for declaring that this massacre was actually legal and within the laws of war. and further, he declared that julianna's sons' should have simply gone to the u. s. government and registered a complaint about this a parent and act that was still legal in his view. and that that would have resolved everything. and this was all part of an argument by zayed at,

under the auspices of the michael hayden center, to argue for julian sanchez, continued legal persecution by the u. s. government at the conference limits hello sample topic sigo de altamont, son i key witness. in the case against as songs in 2021, the i thought johnson confessed to lying in the indictment against the wiki lakes, found the max blumenthal pressed at mark said over the issue and more zayed had boasted on twitter that he had gone security clearances for in his words, guys with child porn issues. so i thought the question was appropriate for him. did he think that the fact that the government recruited sig, ether, dorsen, a pedophile, who admitted to lying about julianna's sanchez, a key witness hindered the credibility of this case. it goes to the heart of the credibility of this case and the superseding indictment, which has no credibility and is built on lies. it was a lie. asserting that during assange acts,

we actually instructed hackers to infiltrate the devices of reporters. and that's what he's accused of. so it should have taken this entire debate off the table. but you know, standing there, the national press club seeing us of a former us officials and lawyers actually indict a publisher and journalist was just so full of irony was hard not to protest now to the dumbass region where ukrainian rocket attacks have left at least 6 people dead in the city of dung ask that's according to local authorities. the you can see show strikes, continuing to overnight, local authority, say the garage rockets were loans to the city by ukrainian forces. he can see the aftermath of don't yet city center off the being showed by ukrainian on hillary b strikes damage multiple houses in the cities, residential area,

a local kindergarten, and also spoke to fi and i don't. yes. university building, which took several hours to extinguish us congress. democrats of the blocks. and all this had been $8020000000000.00 in the military, a washington a sent to ukraine, a republican lawmakers behind the initiative has a slums. the results of the us house vote on the proposal is completely political. democrats on the foreign affairs committee, refused to support an audit of ukraine, because they are blinded by hate for me and made the resolution purely political pathetic. you're hearing marjorie taylor grain. she argues that this is a partisan political move. ready this is simply about her, but if you listen to the foreign affairs committee meeting and when they discussed this resolution in the possibility, the democrats seem to give the idea that they were open to some kind of transparency about all the money the united states has provided to a country that's been described by the new york times and other out,

which is notoriously corrupt. they just seem to think that the time was the right. that was the argument that democrats were using to argue that it was not time to open the books for transparency and accountability, but not in this resolution. not now the author of this resolution who said november 4th, if the republicans win the majority and the election, quote, not another penny will go to ukraine, unquote. that would suggest that the sincerity behind this resolution isn't there. that what really is the agenda here is to cut off all aid to ukraine, and that's why this member believes this is the wrong time to do that. so as you can see, a rather than discussing lead problem of where weapons have been ending up an unanswered questions about all the minds dumped into. yeah. instead, they made it

a personal attack on marjorie taylor, grain the member of the us congress who put forward the resolution. but now people are looking on and realizing that there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. the recent audit of the pentagon turned out all kinds of money that was on, accounted for, and that prompted a journalist to confront the department of defense representative and asked some questions about what this could indicate for ukraine. how do we know that you can keep track of pentagon and inventories going to ukraine, that you're not sending them stuff and then come together, you have a major short focus. you, you don't have a good enough inventory. this going to come up as an issue simplistic right, but i don't want to give you a sense to chance to x and get ahead of that. count ability is important here. and we can always improve the ways that we do things here at the pentagon and the way we are accountable to the american people. so ukraine is certainly a teachable moment for that. representatives is set to change hands in january when a new congress is sworn in republicans will have control of the lower house of the

u. s. congress. so marjorie taylor, green and others that indicated that they may change this policy and we may be getting some answers. and the flow tasks from the united states to kia may not be as generous as it currently is. the latest haunch of cash makia was announced at the end of november, and that includes an additional $400000000.00 to meet ukraine's of security and defense needs. idaho state representative of barbara hall to thinks that every cent should be accounted for as its taxpayer money. even if every single sound of this money has arrived, do you crate, we need to be auditing as to where the money actually has gone. when we read some of the initial stuff where this is going from, you know, way, i mean, we're probably think weapons and supplies and food. and there's other things like other 4 and 8. what does that mean? other foreign, 8 to whom and for what?

there's a lot of questions on here where this money is supposed to go on. we absolutely need to audit it. that's the american people's money. that's taxpayer money. and we're at a time where we have incredibly high inflation. the prices for or gas granted they've come down, but they're so much higher than they were 2 years ago. we're struggling with food. we don't even have our own food supplies. we're still trying to make sure we have baby formula and we're sending unaccounted dollars over to ukraine. no. to african now, west 70 countries have agreed to a landmark trying agreement and it's streamlining the continent. civil aviation services. the single african to transport market is a flagship project of the african union. main aim is to interconnect the coincidence nations by relaxing exist, existing regulations and allowing aviation companies to work together to maximize potential. the market is also set to contribute to africa. economic growth by

creating new jobs, as well as allowing free movement around the continent. a local correspondent reports. it is common knowledge that the cost for flights between african cities is of the most expensive regional travel in the world. many airlines, how to route to europe, to connect back to africa, which has negatively impacted economic growth in africa. but that may be about to change the single africa at transports markets initiative was this cost for approval. and verification by international and africans, civil aviation leaders in short, airlines unconscious will now collaborate as unprecedented levels in africa. we are here to allow states an opportunity to negotiate with each other to allow us to carry hate economies asking for airlines as well as consumers to be able to, to, to, to, to, to have to social with the old business to business is one is to allow states to

get returns on the, in the investment that they make in the infrastructure to make education work for us in africa. all parties agreed that these level of corporation benefited african passages and economists. many delegates now see the potential of a v should industry in africa, took off from apple, jack, the more the skies are open, the more the benefits are here within as from africa and shed also to the world. i believe that the time has come when africa will seize the opportunity to make great use of air transport as a vital tool to uplift and cross power regions. and our continent and south africa support this visit the decision. and is honored to be a part of the strategic drive for avi ation growth on the continent. we spoke with international airlines, i expect antony counsel who explains the benefits of the program the program could

bring. i think everybody understands that there are fantastic benefits to be had from creating a single market. and remember, the single africa transfer market is not a standalone project. it has to stand together with the creation of the africa, continental free trade area. and it also stands together with the free movement of persons protocol, if they do manage to actually implement that one of the key elements is to have harmonized regulatory and policy frameworks as well as tariffs and taxes and charges. and when they do that, and if they can bring down the cost of a travel, make it possible for greater competition, then you can stimulate economic growth, you can stimulate, you can make it cheaper and easier for people to do business on the continent for people to do trade for people to, to travel,

whether it's for your business or for leisure. you create more jobs you'll, you'll basically, you'll be encouraging and facilitating greater social stability when you, thanks for joining us. they are not international with it back in just a few minutes, but the very latest ah, let me let me and honestly for you, but basically we deal lowest ones with real real honesty are talking about like if you need your project with

school a little bit of the money done love the schooling with there that would limit is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true?

what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. blue. who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing a list of questions as we speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine, or wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, a guarantee bubbles with joe biden. imposing these sanctions on

russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. i'm put you in the engine with almost done with a, with a condition to make it a no. go for them to push it up with

a now are due to a i am with the course when you pull up a block it. is it a voice message that i am seeing? they've become valued? exclusions now i say yes. one way the suggesting is up with as the e. u. finalize is yet another round of sanctions against russia. there is

a growing awareness among europeans that washington stands, the gain economically from the west proxy war on moscow. western sanctions are punishing european. is this what the european find out for a lease rate across germany results and $25.00 people arrested on suspicion of planning to buy that leo? that's where the government is detained. to be members of a fall rights group, challenging the legitimacy of modern germany. also coming up here, we do work with the government to provide real time intelligence with the battlefield, with your brain leading us defense, contract to admit help, and the government paid military intelligence to ukraine, despite washington's denial of any direct involvement in the conflict. as we report from saudi arabia where china.
