2, ah ah, [000:00:00;00] with waiting for a number of years, the west is shamelessly siphoned and exploited. ukraine's resources encouraged genocide and terror in the dumbass and actually turned this country into a colony. russia's president vladimir putin, slums, western powers for creating hot sparks in sitting ukraine across the world. also added the program today, a high level prisoner swap russian businessman victor bird, returns home after more than a decade in u. s. custody exchange for american basketball player. brittany reiner on serbia consider sending

a 1000 troops into kosovo for hundreds of police officers in the break away region . take control over it, serve majority this trip with by from all school. this is our t. my names, you know, little in 30 minutes of news and views start now. the russian president has taken aim at western countries for their quote shameless exploitation of ukraine, both historically until they latimer potent remarks came as he addressed top defense department officials up the shanghai cooperation organization. commonwealth of independent states. the virginia silhouetted her number of years to west as shamelessly siphoned and exploited ukraine's resources, encouraged genocide and terror in the damn bass. and actually turned this country into a colony. and now cynically uses the ukrainian people as cannon fodder as a battering ram against russia. continuing to supply ukraine with weapons and

ammunition, sending mercenaries and pushing it on a suicidal path. i'm convinced that the nature and scale of modern threats places increased, demands on our co operation. it is necessary to work together to form a more flexible and stable system of security cooperation. adequate to the current challenges where it cannot be based on some mythical, unwritten rules that no one a seem not on someone's dominance and monopolies them, but only on international law and respect for each other's interests. in terms of the video address that vladimir putin gave earlier, and that the kremlin made public that focused on quite a bit more on the kinds of external threats that the west is posing to the region. vladimir putin said that the meeting between these defense ministers of the shanghai cooperation organization and the commonwealth of independent states could not have come at a better time. because right now the west is doing everything. it can to dominate other countries across all spheres, economically, ideologically, politically,

et cetera. because according to the russian president, this is a result of the unipolar western world order in decline. a multi polar world is emerging. and according the russian president, there's nothing the west can do to stop it. but you load the movie, it was new challenges are emerging and powerful. geopolitical shifts are taking place at the shape of a truly multi polar world. is being born with new centers of development are being formed in asia, africa, and latin america. we, which are increasingly defending their national interests, protecting their sovereignty, and the right to their own path of development. it is simply impossible to ignore the process of the way history is developing, say it to him. at any rate, the west's attack is to hold on to its global position are presenting external, regional, and global threats to the ration community. according to the russian president, the u. s. and its satellites have chosen to forcibly expand nato and try to thwart any sort of alternative strategies for the development of countries,

economies and societies. by spreading color revolutions that destabilized the nations in which they take place. so basically, the main takeaway from the russian president to these organizations was to continue co operation and integration on the same basis of mutual respect that has been seen for years prior. okay to another over a headline stories today on use of a high level prisoner swap between moscow and washington, russian, businessman victor boots, who had been in a u. s. prison for 11 years, has returned to his homeland. he shared some of his thoughts after landing of an airport in the capitol on thursday night. i was woken in the middle of the night and told to get ready. no additional information was provided. the most important thing is that i got there. victor boots was sentenced by u. s. authorities back in 2012 to a quarter of a century in prison allegations of arming terrorists and conspiring to kill

american citizens. he denies all those accusations on moscow sais, his case was politically motivated. mister booth wills exchange for american basketball player, brittany greiner, who had been convicted of drug offenses in russia. the swap was conducted in the united arab emirates, of the months of negotiations. looking at the other participant in this fall, then professional basketball or brittany greiner. i've been detained by moscow, airport customs officer, back in february for a police thought on cannabis oil vapor parking, which is in her letter in july she pleaded guilty to drug smuggling charges. despite saying it was an honest mistake runner was sentenced to 9 years. she filed on appeal, which was rejected by a russian fort. meanwhile, there's mounting dissatisfaction among us politicians are both the prisoner exchange republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green, even call for

a joe biden to be impeached over it. with donald trump and former national security adviser, john bolton, both slumming the deal, the boot for greiner prisoner swap as not a trade. it's an american surrender. this is not what american strength looks like . terrorists and rogue states are smiling. what kind of a deal is it to swap brittany griner, a basketball player who openly hated country for them and known as the merchant of death? what a stupid an unpatriotic embarrassment for the usa. the president of the united states and his feeble administration, gave up a russian arms dealer. meanwhile, a marine and good american paul whalen, has sat in a russian prison for 4 years to rot all for years. the u. s. had been pushing the narrative of victor boots, being a so called merchant of death, his lawyer steves to so spoke to r t a by the case sand. his client's release. 15

years ago, the u. s. government devised a plot, if you will, to create a crime of this retired russian citizens living in moscow. committing no crime against anyone. they target him simply because they didn't like what they thought he had been doing in previous years and, and at victor sentencing. and i don't, it's hard to believe or this talk crime that nothing ever happened with. and no one was ever heard. and no one was ever done at the sentencing the u. s. government, prosecutors asked that victor be sent to life without rule. meaning he would never be released that's, that's the, that's the insanity we were fortunate that the judge and victor's trial, a judge genuine, made some very important findings at his sentencing that were really strong and

supportive. and pointed out several of the things that that undermined this merchant of death, the narrative that had taken hold in the us. the 1st thing i did was i gave her call, she had been retired at the time to migrate the surprise. she she not only spoke to me, but she stood by her words and was willing to go public with her views that the sentence that she was forced to impose on victor was way too high. and she would have given him a much lower sentence. as if she had the ability. ready to do so, i'm surprised to survive because you know, you don't, it's not like if you look the older you get, the more, the more likely you are to suffer some sort of catastrophic illness. a sudden and victor was getting up there in years as well into fifty's now. and you know, you just don't, you can't just so you just don't call 911 there. they don't have actual physicians

. you know, they don't ship you off to a hospital unless you're in a coma. so he had several serious elements. but victor is, is exceedingly strong man, he knows how to take care of himself to protect himself. he made sure to, to the extent that he can eat properly. so there were times when i was concerned that he would, he would even survive to make it to the swath. steve is, i know i both know of free prisoners receive presidential pardons before they were released or corresponding kill him up and has been looking into the roots of victor boots, where did after almost 15 years in captivity and half the eyes sting operation frame up the sham trial, and in addition to that solitary confinement and difficulty even being able to visit his family. victor boot is now free and back home in russia. the negotiations were kept secret and even victory. why had no idea what was coming?

so let's review the details of this high profile case. well, back in the 900 ninety's western leaders started psyching up the public against the british home office labeled him the merchant of death and hollywood movie demonizing, him called lord of war, was even released in reality. victor is the son of a book keeper. he served in the soviet military before starting his own cargo company. u. s. officials alleged that he ran guns for al qaeda and that he was involved in supplying weapons to various sides of african conflicts and across eastern europe. these are allegations he has repeatedly denied while us leaders seem to have no problem supplying weapons to some radical groups. it seems like after this, hollywood movie was released. and after victor's name had been dropped by various officials, they felt it was time to grand stand against him. victor had his assets frozen, but there was no law at that point under which they could prosecute him for his international business dealings. so u. s. officials decided to go to the f. b i. a sting operation was set up and

eventually he was entrapped in thailand. so under cover f b i agents pretending that they were members of the fark rebel group and columbia approached him and had a hypothetical conversation about a possible arms deal. no crime actually ever took place. that's what told me when i interviewed him back in 2019. this is a 100 percent qualify as a political prisoner because i'm healed off my nationality and i was denied to corporate politicize and i'm standing up. they didn't do anything else, and we'll fight for my innocence. i misstated bachmann,

couple years ago. going to keep him, as example, as a model was a boy for whipping father rations would be more polite, the corporate with us when to go off. there are up through us leaders clearly had a motive for grabbing him after he was dragged to the united states from thailand due to an extradition agreement. he was then allegedly offered a deal to bring forward dirty laundry about the russian government and president. well, they've been during pre trial during the trial what they've been through the public defender, they approach and said, well we're going to get to it all your primary, green car and central you there. if you tell us some dirt, how about food turn and how car of this regime saw? and so i said, no, you can't do the person for all the deal. that's why i went through the trial. russian authorities offered victor support throughout the lengthy legal proceedings, and they also described how us officials abducting him and dragging them to the united states from thailand was an example of how they felt they have license to do

whatever they want in the international arena. much time, so there is no doubt that they have the doctor, the russians citizen in the 3rd country. we have a consular convention with the us, and we have a treaty on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. under these agreements, the u. s. should inform us of any suspicions they may have about a russian citizen when i see it yet they fail to do so. this was the case and a number of instances with victor boots konstantin yet shan't go for them. and a number of other people who are transferred to the u. s. with the tacit approval of 3rd countries. now, victor is journey home did not come easily. the negotiations took place at a time when relations between the usa and russia are anything but good. needless to say, a lot of hard work has gone in to making sure this russian citizen could finally return home and be with his family fail, martha archie, new york,

will require the government to adopt school books and other educational materials. we heard from the nigerian school director who expressed and overall positive view of the new measures when i had thus the instruction from the gulf my true deal to show gazette i was so blood or anesthesia done to the family as wills. no. the said the primary gentle socialization. that is the 1st school that is shide is born into that the side is introduced into. so starting eloquently to d $11.00. the luggage stats in d fest teach of the education of a child with the use of the mother language that he soon bud evil outside the case

french, or you understand jama dando, a powerful your local language, that where has your chess, you know, to secure job across the globe, what you cannot give what you don't ah, ah, you as a secretary of state anthony blank and i said is basically a done deal for sweden and finland to join the national alliance. i'm confident that nato will formally welcome cylinder, sweetness, member soon since the nato summit in madrid, both countries had taken significant concrete actions to fulfill their commitments, including those related to the security concerns on the part of our i'll, i, turkey. well, sweden has refused to comply with nato member turkey's request for it to extra di, 2 people suspected of ties to a terrorist organization. stockholm say that doesn't have sufficient grounds to believe the men in question committed criminal offenses while i graze on them and

they won't allow sweden to join the lines until it conducts those extradition. anti war activists are f, laundry, safety, us housing, properly address turkey, security concerns, sweden and the us of course, are talking out of both sides of their mouth house. now they're saying we have a deal. no, we don't have a deal. and no matter how you look at it, they want turkey to acknowledge that there's a deal so that this natal official membership can move forward. certainly it's a us who is behind this steel. and it's also the united states. it was pledged to be the protector of the kurds, but as we can see, once again, they're just willing to use some as a bargaining chip. whether or not this officially goes forward in a real sense. it is a done deal and it shows that to us is absolutely has no interest in peace and

diplomacy or negotiation. they are all about aggressive us war planning. they want nato expansion official or unofficial ok to an issue. familiar to many right now. employees of the european central bank have been left fuming after authorities rejected their demands for a pay rise to keep up with inflation. we're not happy with inflation in germany and the euro area likely around 8.5 percent this year. a lack of a pay rise means a substantial loss and push send power. this is damaging workers morale and also their trust towards the institution. well, the workers wanted a pay rise of just over for per cents, but the current inflation rate in the use largest the economy, germany has been ported out or on twice. that's a mine's big difference there at the end of the graph isn't there earlier? my colleague peter scott spoke with financial a technology entrepreneur, chris m 's, who noted that the same institutions, namely punks,

which essentially created inflation in the 1st place. are now the one suffering. so well, the funny thing is, although not for the stuff is that you know, the c, b, a missed its own inflation target on its employees. now seem to be paying for it. do you think it was a duty of care or the certain geopolitical factors or just out of his control? absolutely, i think that definitely is a duty of care. but there is a great irony that you've just mentioned, the very people that have caused this massive inflation and now paying for it. right. and i think when we're looking at, when we're looking at these institutions in the way they operate and run, it's really, really morally bankrupt to say, look, pay for something that we asked you to do. and that goes across everything from transport to any kind of public service. right. why should the public service worker have to pay for the mistakes made by that employer? that just happens to be a state institution? there is research as we do. absolutely. now the c, b a said that he doesn't want to increase the wages of it stuff because he's worried, as it says that it would fuel

a damaging wage. price spiral. define the argument convincing. not at all. i think anyone with half a brain cannot believe that out, even if you've got to a business, an organization, a company, and your employees are struggling to, to inflation it. you know, in my opinion, it's your moral responsibility to make sure that they can feed themselves and close their children if people can't eat and they can't feed their children. and really, i mean, they're saying that inflation is up. this percentage reality is real times inflation for people is a lot higher. you only just have to ask anyone living in europe right now, as we know a lot of people living in europe coming from that originally and, and the price, the real times price of everything from energy to food, to transport. everything is way higher. it's, you know, some people even saying it's, you know, 20 percent more in real time. so if the c b were to raise the wages of his employees as they are demanding. do you think that was so set some sort of precedence for the national banks and do you think there will be

a full effect where employees, employers, excuse me, would raise the the way just absolutely. that would, what we would hope that would be the effect that should be. that's a good thing, right? we're seeing across, across europe, we're seeing, you know, well on the u. k. u. k, right now we've got nurse is about to go on strike. we've got railway is going on strike, they're not really asking for much pizza, what they're asking is to be paid enough so that they can not be out of pocket to the bad necessities that become way more expensive because of institutions and the decisions that have been made by, by western governments there's no doubt about that. they were saying that they were saying, look, we, we've made decisions over the last year that of course, these problems and you are going to pay for it. well, that's not fair. is it? on a not on really the theme to that the season of goodwill may be fast approaching, but not everyone in italy will enjoy a christmas dinner this year. that's what a major organization which distributes european aid is warning the from the states that increasingly more at tele, helping,

descending into poverty. oh, i filled them in to the people, but you are going to be there are thousands of requests for help from families who will be suffering greatly over the christmas period. due to the increase in energy prices. they find it difficult to eat at lunch and dinner, which is why we're giving them all free groceries at christmas. it's an economic disaster. oh, i don't know if you can stop having great difficulties. we make a contribution, but people need much more help. families with children of finding themselves in difficulty. they don't even have the money to pay for milk and diapers.

ah, but since i have a rather difficult life, we also lived on the street my own little and therefore i had to ensure the survival of my family in one way or another. i couldn't pay for the house. and so i was reduced to living in a call with my wife for several months. ah, you know, did i put it? i mean you're here, we are starving and i'm a georgia maloney is do nothing good for us, poor people. she's actually destroying. we can't even pay the bills, we're desperate and everything is increased and there's very little money. ah, ah, well not a touch friday's news stories are shipping up. i'll be back at the top with all the big developments as we approach the weekend. i from moscow,

this is our team a in to the teams helping with uptime, i'll go to not even look well for a solid go. are you on gas with just not from finished in the trip on the site? yeah, i was joy the tapes from the product i want to. so you know of this kind of i don't know even so it was just over the phone

with her. but it, it is good. prescriptive reason oscar. she'll know shepherd got a job in oh, when i was showing wrong, when i was just a kid, an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves well,

the part we choose to look so common ground m i s a. maria oregon took my new lease or letter in my already with bill with western it is 3. i live by national guard, adams, the bathrooms, im never stolen. one more a current than what i can put it with you only to go now with what. okay. and that's all she is. is it clearly most that i know it, but as right now national guard, national risk. nittany stanley got it now to the problem. there still problem my point again. when you go up or you think emotionally, tell you yes. you just know that's be so it's not somebody to go quieter, voyager. pacific. you convenience? mccartney nichols with senior one of yours for it. i paid for summer on that. talk
