a scared out and was on the do not. she then thought did alabaster really desert wonderful. lucille? my last lot a lot you, there has been a little isn't going on in fund theater. the layer ah, it's a quote. nobody intended to fulfill any part of the mint grievances that is according to vladimir putin. as he hit out of the former german chancellor anglo michael, the russian president also claimed the west a now is the justice apply and you've prayed with also in the program we speak exclusively to victor boot the man double the merchant of death. following his release from us jail, it's in a prison us what the deal between moscow and to shoot him another was up still need to realize these feelings, a lack to words to describe it. all my wife is here with me now. so we have finally reunited this african young people on the streets. obama cool

with bought saying put dean sang. you have saved the dome bus and now you will save us. okay. can see that these people don't know where the don't position for the european top official finds himself in raw the hot water following his off the car from mos on african people with those being shamed and branded as simply not respecting the continent with one user from moscow, it's a pleasure to have you with us here on our team international, some heavy hitting stories for you in this ours broadcast. we start off with a quote, how to negotiate, and where are the guarantees the russian president vladimir putin as question the possibilities of reaching any agreements regarding ukraine in the future. meantime, slamming the former german chancellor angle at merkel for betraying the minsk

agreements. now, the russian president was speaking in courage, stan, following a meeting with a supreme your ration your economic council. he also slammed western leaders for not supporting african countries while making it impossible for russia to ship. it's grain to the region 2 and also colder an oil price cap that was imposed recently by the u. you as a, quote, unfounded, and stupid proposal saying it will only bring a catastrophic surgeon prices on the collapse of global energy. well, earlier on friday, blood and uprooting has addressed a top defense to pop and officials of the shanghai cooperation organization. and the commonwealth of independent states ultimately claiming the west has turned ukraine into that of a colony. the project silhouetted for number of years. the west has shamelessly siphoned and exploited ukraine's resources encouraged genocide and terror in the dumbass and actually turned this country into a colony. and now cynically uses the ukrainian people as cannon fodder is as

a battering ram against russia for continuing to supply on a crane with weapons and ammunition, sending mercenaries and pushing it on a suicidal path lesson. i'm convinced that the only insurance scale or modern threats some places increase demands on our co operation. it is necessary to work together to form a more flexible and stable system of security and cooperation are adequate to the current challenges which we cannot be based on some mythical. unwritten of ring was that no one assembled it not on someone's dominance and monopolist leukemia. but only on international law and respect for each other's interests, leave with them in terms of the video address that vladimir putin gave earlier and that the kremlin made public that focused 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 for norway with new challenges are emerging and powerful. geopolitical shifts are taking place and the shape of a truly multi polar world is being born. i mean, if i knew centers of development are being formed in asia, africa, and latin american always, which are increasingly defending their national interest, 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 developed. regular, 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 racial 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 to stabilize the nations in which they take place. so basically, the main takeaway from the russian president to these organizations was to continue cooperation and integration on the same basis of mutual respect that has been seen for years prior. when it's good to have your company, victor boot the man dubbed by the west as the merchant of death and who's been in the american prison for 11 years now is all of a sudden. but here in russia is following a prisoner swap between moscow and washington. victor boot landed at an airport in the russian capital thursday night. it goes by 2012. he was sentenced by us authorities to 25 years in prison when charges of army terrorists and conspiring to kill american citizens all accusations heathen eyes. well mr. bid was exchanged for

american basketball player. brittany greiner, who is being convicted of a drug defense in russia. he pleaded guilty, was sentenced and 9 years behind bars earlier this year, that the swap was conducted, though in the united arab emirates oft up months of negotiations. well here at odds international we were in fact the 1st to interview interview, i think the boot since is released in asia phone chat, recorded for us by the russian m. p in a public figure, maria buena. and he showed his thoughts and emotions on his long lasting case. happiness. tell me please, how he is selling mount a cio back home. so shoot him another was of still need to realize these feelings. i lack the words to describe it all. my wife is here with me now, so we have finally reunited because it wasn't what do you think of the timing of the exchange? why now leaning out, you know, when it comes to american politics, any view and why something happened would be inappropriate. just happened and thank god it did what you what you, what, what's up on them is that new western media claims you. i a very important person

from the russian government interestingly for president potentially. what would you say to that then we'll do more. i don't think i'm somehow important in the sphere, russian politics. the thing is all this time i've been supported by moscow by all of you here. as you see, we understand what is happening to russians abroad now. and russia simply cannot stand it. and it was important because just that russia does not abandon its own people, re, la, distasteful. do you see yourself as a victim of the west serous? the father marshal. i don't think so. you see, you have to be very careful with the terminology here. i think it's just a consequence of the fact that the west believes they didn't finish us off in the 19 ninety's when the soviet union began to disintegrate. and since they see that russia is now striving towards independence, choosing its own life to pin in what people want that shocking for them. and they think they can just well break us up again. divide rush into many parts, so discord among the russian people of various nationalities so that some kind of civil wars begin again in thus gain control of russian territory pneumonia. go at edge thought, some believe that exchanging you for you as basketball player is

a sign of washington's weakness, which do you think they cave down on the kansas city? as for americans, all their politics always take place at a childish level, a street boys look, you're weak, you didn't stand the challenge. i'm sure the russian leadership and decision makers don't think by such categories, whether you're weak or you aren't weak to power, never needs any kind of cheap manifestation. there's no point proving this exchange is a sign of weakness or strength. i think the very fact that this swapped your took place, 1st of all means that common ground was found. otherwise the steel would not have happened. well, it's a good to have your company for this ours program. the use top diplomat has put himself in a rather awkward position after making some questionable remarks about the people in africa that well support russia by russia is able to the fled, blame twist reality and define an audience. in some part of the world.

i have seen in the tv screen, these are african young people on districts. obama go with bill board. same book, dean sang, you have saved a don bus and now you will save us. it's a really shocking. well, you can consider this. people don't know where the dorm versus maybe then don't even know who is 14, but they are getting mobilized on the streets. and they see is some capital over a country who is a, a candidate to become member did a be a union. you have to go to one, michael, have to go to the balcony and you were in the balcony. so. thanks. happy birthday, mr. boyd. while these comments by joseph morales, do not surprise many on the continent, and they explain why africa it keeps looking eastwards for corporation as well as

development. these come as well as the burrell really and not just racist which offend many on the continent, but they also come to be expected the kind of cake thought they have led many european countries to come up africa, divide a people support conflict and only really come to africa when they bring the cameras and aid europe is never really held africa in terms of is development and for what they have taken from the african continent. one would imagine that they would give back, missed the burrell and the history of commons, really put, paid to what we on the continent. that was what you thought. we've wondered, what kind of skills you would need to have in order to become a policy chief. let alone and policy chief mr. brown does not have the wherewithal with with you keep saying the same thing statement is not only about africans, but people of the rest of the world. true. how is he able to travel the world and

still represent europe on a global phase of community that considers itself leaders and such comments? and guys, is still a buffle to many of us. the rest of their will must be the rest of the goal is the jungle and the jungle could invade. the goddess the gardeners have to go to the jungle the to be and has to be much more engage with the rest of the world. or that why the rest of the world will invade us less. barella was not the only mind in the house. some sanity prevailed with, as the man who actually represented was a new kind of europe should represent. i do think that this african tone and the lack of respect that his her coming from the european union towards africa is part of the problem leading to africans. perhaps thinking that savy salvation is

going to come from russia. and that is the kind of european mindset that africans would like to at least engage with. and not that i came mentality that we've seen from mr. brown, people in africa, the european for what they are. we see them as the divert aid that would have otherwise helped people in africa and the pilot on all in the drums. the one time that's gone to ukraine following the conflict has really opened the eyes of, of the rest of the world with regards to where we are placed in terms of priorities for the european continent. the opened up for that following that conflict, well come ukrainians with open arms, while africans get chase back on the small little dingey boats and they have to make the fade for crossing again to the motherland. we see europe for what it

is and for the picture that it perpetuates, we keep looking at tie and i had russia as people who can help us with development, with the charity following the field missions of the west in the hell region that have not really brought any kind of piece off the bill in well over 12 years, yet billions have been spent. they got a lot of to join us. so serbia says it's considering sending a 1000 troops into cause a vote of the hundreds of police officers in the self declared republic to control over parts of a circ majority region on thursday. now the whole police raids common arising tension and cause of of the license plate and document requirement dispute between bella wright, i'm christina serbs in kosovo. resigned their administrative positions, i should say in a protest off the christina scheduled new elections for their replacement belgrade

. claims that violates established agreements broken by the you, which so be a still considered as part of its territory. was focused on gaia to a professor for the university of european studies and below grade. he says that the grade should not trust promises coming from brussels. have a listen to this. you has this great itself completely. that mission of eel x has shown to be absolutely incapable of solving any problems. and also proven to be biased every single time when the albanian side would escalate. what we would here calls for, for, for peace and calming. our calls would be given to both sides by the you. so this is really a, you know, it looks like like

a gambling place, like casino because the house winds every time. and the house is nato basically because the, you know, really was behaving all along as. busy only just an avatar of natal or i so could have you with us. her naughty international law, african languages have been receiving a renewed prominence in nigeria, the government setting out an educational policy to promote the study of local dialects and schools. now the recently approve bill is aimed at shifting the focus from english to native languages in the west africa nation. however, the initiative has been a while. she was a complicated by the huge number of local languages which will require the government to adapt school books and other educational matters. and we heard from a know, jerry and school director about these plans. when a, how does the instructional from to go from a true deal?

he shall visit. i was so blood or in especially for the family as wills. no, he said the primary gentle socialization. that is the 1st school that a shide is born into that the side is introduced into. so starting eloquently to d. one done what a luggage hats in the face teach of education of his shot with the use of the model language that he's doing. bud eagle outside the case may be, is the best that should happen in education as well to get some clarity. we also spoke with the head of a nigerian teachers union in lagossi about these reforms. wayne, you 3 or teach reduce off more tapped on

it is so nice. what does it does on desk tundi? on the side of the student is we actually potential in our younger generation by o. c. i model language. i see medium of communication. no doubt. there was landed so dad did come favorite gluco beach in tom or for you know, 2nd job internationally. that to where you understand english or you understand french or you understand yama did our perform, your local language. doctor has your chess, you know, to secure job across the globe. what you cannot give what you don't

the u. s. secretary of state anthony blink, and i said it's basically a done deal for sweden and finland to join nato. i'm confident that nato will formally welcome filane sweden's member. soon since the nato summit in madrid are 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. but meantime, a sweden has refused to comply with nato member turkeys request to ex should i to people suspected of ties to terrorists. and stockholm says it doesn't have sufficient grounds to believe the man in question committed criminal offenses or the anchor is adamant. it won't allow sweden to join the alliance until it conducts those extradition as well. we spoke with anti war activist sarah flounder, so she says the us hasn't properly addressed the security concerns of us, nato ally, turkey, sweden and 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 in the bargain and no matter how you look at it, they want turkey to acknowledge that there's a deal so that this nato official membership can move forward. certainly it's the u . s. who is behind this deal, 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 them as a bargaining chip. whether or not this officially goes forward in a real sense, it is a done deal. and it shows that the u. s. 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 britons lawn

tennis association has been hit with a $1000000.00 fine off the wilma, them bond players from russia and bella rou, salyers this year. and the ruling from the 80 p which controls the men's game globally, follows an earlier fine by the women's tennis association. so for now, here's the reaction by british tennis we stand by our original position on this matter, that unilateral decision making by members of the association of tennis professionals threatens our ability to operate as a global sport. we believe that the measures taken protect the long term future of our games and its commitment to married based participation without discrimination for individual athletes. wimbledon lost the points because the government dictated banning the russians and bella ruffians instead of a few players losing all players lose let's be totally honest. the only reason russians were banned from wimbledon was that they didn't want to run the risk of royalty handing out the winning trophy to

a russian. the international governing association of tennis professionals has warned that british tournaments may face expulsion from all atp competitions on the 2, or if they continue, the ban. a russian athletes were previously excluded from a number of major tennis events held in the u. k. over the war and ukraine and other key tournaments on the global, so good, including the australian and us opens a still allowed a russian and bell russian players to compete. now the international olympic committee is president said the actions of british tennis organizers were political . thomas back recently expressed his willingness to let russian and bell, or russian athletes take part in the 2024 summer lympics in paris. that is, despite the io sees previous recommendations to bar all russian and bella, russian athletes and competing at the international events. we spoke with a sports journalist alan more who believes there are financial grounds behind backs,

change of opinion. money matters more than rhetoric and virtue being signalled by the law and association. and of course, they're most prestigious for their real money making. women were discriminated against the ones who were completely seen want to didn't dope. and we're not involved, don't even bring away. so they also discriminated against and teams as well. we read you hope it finally sports can step away from politics a little bit because we do all the main drivers behind the exclusion of rush, nicely worship teams from international sport since the end of every having us and u. k. they are pushed very strongly 1st and now we're seeing that a lot of other countries, germany, france, spain, italy, hungry, even ship and say, wait, hold on, and not enough. there is a punish people for what is perceived to be iraq. money matters more rhetoric.

it was a meant to be seen where all organizations are in the are see, will carry this through, will actually green rush, nasty teams at ocean specialists back into the old or not. so i think it's, it's a difficult situation. it's not going to be so very quickly. so arising food crisis is ultimately putting millions of people on the brink of starvation all around the world. and while e u officials are putting the blame squarely on russia for all of this art is going underground. heard from the head of the world food security program to discuss the routes of the problem. it's important you should bear this in mind. you can watch the full episode tomorrow, only here are naughty, it's something that makes you media won't even touch. i mean, i don't want to be to mean obviously, chris, but yeah. even before the week basket of europe, you grain facing what it is right now. we have 828000000 hungry this

christmas. i'm not blaming it all on you. obviously it's all those stakeholders that have a bond to play. why is the world food security committee fail failing? why? why, why is it such a failure? we know there's enough food to feed the earth, what 3 dimes over. and it's not a supply problem, but say, why wire all these people facing starvation this christmas? well, it's exactly a big problem and, and those numbers which you cited which come from the sophie 2022 report, actually for to the previous year. so i would be surprised if those numbers are higher. f a o just came out with a report. in early december saying, 45 countries are urgent need of food assistance. 33 of them in africa. all really with the issues of climate. coven 19 soaring inflation, and of course,

the major driver at the conflicts which are going on around the world, including the one you cited between russian crane. ah, so here we're not international. we've been watching the russian president vladimir putin speaking. ambition can, could a stand at the annual supreme eurasia economic council summit. what's going on there? well, lots of energy pipeline action a time when europe is facing an energy crisis. more details on auto dot com for the meantime. thanks for joining us. we are back soon with with

a man in a meeting with i love it. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,
