international was we run down the top highlights and starting at this hour in the don't extra public by 2 people have been wounded by ukrainian artillery, targeting the regional capital city center authorities, blame nato, supplied rockets for the barrage that started sunday morning, multiple apartment buildings got moved, including that of a hospital. now it follows numerous regional ukrainian attacks over the past 24 hours at least one civilian confirmed dead. 3 others wounded. around this, not a school in the next city was also damaged as were various residential buildings. and while official isn't that a brings up at oj region, se keeps forces used, us supplied high mas rockets to shallow holiday camp in the city of melick topple, to people killed 10 wounded. as the artillery barrage destroyed a restaurant there, a large fire erupted at the forest location with emergency workers searching through the rubble for survivors. renaissance 3 people were taking a hospital in a critical condition. and we did hear from a local witness who lives nearby. the horses are since dawson is that there was

a terrible explosion at 1st we thought it was in another place. and then again, there was a 2nd, 3rd and 4th explosion and a huge fire broke out. we still can't get our hands around it. comprehend everything. we live in a residential building near by 11 families. this is a civilian area. they said they are destroying military targets, that this is a civilian residential building. how it is possible to do the situation on the front lines in the door. next republic has been increasingly intense in recent days . our correspondent roman casa rafa got our exclusive access to some former ukrainian army positions. now, under russian control, i should warn you, you may find this report disturbing. we're here in front, sir. line, right next the city hall for my your so that was the liberated by the next army. just a couple of weeks ago. ukraine positions are not that far away. well with her,

right, we're now at the former positions of the ukrainian troops. they had a strong line of defense here. the area around the railroad was heavily fortified. somebody named new nautica. now we've taken this position, it will be more difficult for ukraine to supply its troops in our new mask. they can't move ammunition, food or troops using this road as it's now under our control handler. walking along these trenches. the soldier told me to be very careful and looked down all the time because as ukraine retreated from this positions, they mind the entire territory. in addition to that, there are many prohibits anti personnel mines as well, so called petal minds. once a person steps on one of those, he may lose a limb and take a look there also, unexploded weapons like this on the ground as well. so we have to walk very, very carefully. this looks like a jacket that used to belong to the ukranian soldier. bodies of ukrainian soldiers

are absolutely everywhere here on the front line. they're not being claimed by ukraine, and we'll probably her probably considered as a a missing in action. but there are literally dozens of bodies all around these trenches. when you were through, they abandoned their dead and laughed. this happens often you to ongoing fighting in as this area is still quite dangerous to give them a proper burial. but i've been assured by the next republic, a soldiers that sir, all of these sir men from the crane and military, or will be buried. ah, well according to orthodox sir christian law and all the necessary dna san also will be taken. so that says their relatives, if they want to find them and to reclaim them, we'll have that opportunity. now

this used to be a former check point to all for ukraine in the town of my yours can. these are the kinds of things that are absolutely everywhere here. this is a nato made grenade launcher, still intact is still workable, and the soldiers here are prepared to use it at any time against their enemy. ukrainian military have been fortifying these positions for the last 8 years. they've been using this town of my york to regularly fire against civilians in the city of gold gorelick, which is not far away. well, at the moment, everything here has been destroyed and stray dogs and cats

are the only inheritance o these french's had the moment from one quarter of our t dot net script, public blue american authorities of charter ukrainian parliament member with money laundering in the united states. if also accused him of working as a russian intelligence agent supposedly interfering with a u. s. selection process. kremlin back to cranium, politician and oligarch. andre dare kotch was sanctioned for his efforts to influence the 2020 us presidential election on behalf of the russian intelligent services. while participating in a scripted russian disinformation campaign seeking to undermine us institutions to cut simultaneously conspired to fraudulently benefit from a western lifestyle for himself and his family in the united states. the charges immersed after the lawmaker exposed to potential active corruption by joe biden. while he was vice, president biden allegedly sought to remove

a ukrainian prosecutor who was freezing assets in his son, hunter's company, frankly, as open, pretty well documented. let's pick up the story now with archie. it's marina cause it's been a good week for the by the family as one of the people who accuse them of some shady deals. and ukraine has now been charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and money laundering over the purchase of $2.00 luxury slots in beverly hills. this is the 1st time the criminal and forfeiture powers has been used in the us to uncover the concealment of ownership by foreign political officials. so while this must be a very significant case, let's break it down, shall we? who is this man and rachel dutch is a current member of ukraine's parliament, and has been repeatedly called a russian spy and even sanctioned in the us for his alleged efforts so influenced the 2020 us presidential election. why?

because he leeks an uncomfortable phone conversation featuring joe biden. we'll get so that in a minute. now, in the obama administration, one of jo biden's jobs was to oversee us political activities in ukraine, primarily advocating for anti corruption reforms in the countries energy industry. you have a historic opportunity, remember as the rotted at wiley and permanently laid in place, the pillars of freedom as your people have long for yearned for, for so many years. and then his son became the board member, albred's mama, one of the largest natural gas operators in ukraine, and the tourist company with a doughty history marred with accusations of fraud, with its owner even investigated by the you case. serious fraud office makes total sense, right? but when you cranes prosecutor's office, so i said, sees them,

perez was assets. joe biden got mad and turned his attention on the prosecutor himself. it was after we started seizing prisma assets and ukraine, when poor shanker called me and said, sorry, listen, this all has stopped already. jo biden's temper is overflowing. why then apparently wanted him gone and issue the null tomato fire the prosecutor or ukraine will not get its promised financial aid. whereas the proof, well, this is where mr. derick gotch stepped in leak in an alleged phone conversation between the warmer you craze them president petra prussia, ankle and joe biden. a general, i am public finding a $1000000.00. so i need prosecutor was found and hunter biden's job was safe once again. and what a job it was $50000.00 a month,

apparently. but that's nothing compared to the full amount he received. allegedly, of course, considered monster wouldn't be late. 2019 a major corruption scandal, but the x u. s. vice president joe biden broke out. let me remind you that joe biden, his son, honda, and their partners, have been receiving millions of dollars for political protection for years. era for its answer the matter by the u. s. senate highlights that officials in washington a good north concerns of a conflict of interest for biden, in ukraine, state department officials had to clear indications of corruption by jell by them was specifically advised not to make that accusation. and what's more, what they young aspiring biden on the board of berella, it's owner, is said, according to the senate report, to have paid as $7000000.00 bribe to the ukraine prosecutor to close the case. and now the man whistleblower who lead that all has been charged with money laundering

convenience. meanwhile, that us continues to send billions of dollars to train and has just floated to not audit where the money and aid has ended up in $1.00 of the most corrupt countries. in the world i to some stories of today who are not see this last week, so res, across germany to prevent an alleged plot to overthrow the government by the iceberg o radical movement. now the routing party has announced a tightening of national gun laws amid a 2nd wave of arrests in this whole qu, conspiracy. now $25.00 people had been arrested and charged with terrorism, including a former member of the alternative, germany party under 71 year old self proclaimed german prince. one of germany's interior ministers brought his theories on to the radio waves and lay the blame directly on to the a f, g opposition party to fantasies of the crew have become concrete plans. and these

fantasies, a part of the a f t standard speeches. the a f, d is being watched for anti constitutional aspirations and that's right. the ifd has become increasingly radicalized spreading conspiracy myths and qu, fantasies. the party acts like an interface for the networking of right wing extremist organizations, a coals to tighten gun laws and the country came in july from top german official was, are seeking the ban extremists from owning firearms that include the thousands of a of g members who maya has labeled right wing extremists and all those party members who may be hunters or marksman will see their guns confiscated by the state . this comes just by numerous assassination attempts by left being radicals on alternative foot germany, members. high time we clear this up let's course live and discuss it more with a get all the alton, a boom to stop politicians alternative germany, party member and retired german air force, connell, a very warm welcome to you. so thanks for coming on the program today. your alternative germany party has been subject to some deep state surveillance measures

off the germany's top court does related as a potential threat to democracy. how did it get to this point? i hardly know how to answer. the question is the, like the way to check, just germany as a position party is he are probably going up continue the especially over the last month. but the energy prices are high in germany and they're also in some cases of violence from from migrant. and these are all going to be discussing and bringing on the table as if we are the only opposition party. you have of course the, the cushion democrats on the left party. but actually we are the ones who were hunting the government and bringing the things on the table, bringing it into public. and this is what they really hate. and so they trying to, to block us wherever they can. they,

they brought us in parliament. we don't get the vice but the in parliament, we don't get the sheets in the different counter which would be the german they don't just just up until then they always use the media to make for the flag operations or blow up things which, which out of proportion, that is how they act with the real position in germany. so is there any truth to this, this coo, this idea of overthrowing the government? or is it all just nonsense? in my opinion, it is more or less? no. okay. it looks fact that some people, i think they're talking about 25 to 50 people. that's, that's bringing into proportion 25 to 50 people. we have an 80000000 population. now, how can physically, how can they, they over, over through the government? is this for some people come from prison within it in the high

seventies if you people from, from the special forces most of them in the age of. ready retirement, so can you actually do government overall? we can do a coup with these kind of people. so this is in my opinion, is completely ridiculous. what about the idea? i was reading that up to $3000.00 special police. were involved in these nationwide arrests or the tensions 3000 special police attaining 25 to 50 people. it doesn't sound like much of a return. frankly, on such a vast operation, it looked like they needed 60 police for one suspect. and so, and so you see that that is completely proportion and what, what the main thing is that the media was already 2 weeks before the how they had they got these people under arrest and that they were informed when and

where the police will get these people arrested and this is basically, is a very strong point of where the government has basically to the print information. and does this really stinks and you see that it's more or less public. i'm not really coo, to of why i was going to exactly about that. i mean, i love sholtes and when you look at the broader picture here, is it possible that how can i say this was an energy crisis going on and much of europe at the moment? inflation is going through the roof. currencies are not really worth what they're supposed to be valued at. is it possible that's a broader picture here. the, the, the rating coalition, the rating government, there is worry that in general, the population public are getting very upset with the cold winter days and lack of freezing and high bills. and it's some sort of connection there are, i might just stretching at this point. you know, i fully fully support, you know, your view here in this way. it is clear we will coming into

a high energy crisis. we very cold winter coming up in germany and it is exactly. and basically i see the preventive action. so it's all preemptive strike. here to, to dis, regards the opposition to make them into the right thing. to criminalize the opposition. there were 11 correct, susan, a former member of parliament, most suspect. and she is also arrested. and so they, they make a direct link har, cool to the a, a few, this is what they try. and so they, it is a coup against the opposition. and to, to silence your position and bringing them into it and defensive push. that is the, the main goal is what i see. it is a higher, higher dimension. in this case kitty, i get hold often up under stock politician alternative for germany,

party member and retired german air force, colonel, a great honor having you with us. thanks for joining us for nazi international. thank you. thank you very much and thank you for joining us for the sunday program . so one of washington's closest allies in the asia pacific region that of south korea is actually called on the european union to push back against the recently enacted us inflation reduction act. the nations trade minister said the measurable seriously impact both soul and the e use business interests, particularly that of the car industry. we have a huge room for you in korea to work together and to make the inflation reduction access to more compatible with the world trade organization. so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to strategically important parts of our industry. the u. s. is kind of constrained by the discriminatory structure of the law. earlier, a consensus of the use top officials among the 27 member states express that the concerns of the act. they said there protectionist measures will harm the blocks

auto industry and may even force european companies to relocate abroad. and a recent meeting with the french president joe biden said he would not apologize for the tax law, even as the youth threatening to take the issue to the world trade organization for help. we had a legendary investor on the program earlier jim rogers, he was speaking to my colleague, you know, nearly basically jim roger saying the europeans and the koreans are actually doing the right thing. i'm a us citizen, but i don't like it either. i don't see any restraint of trade, whether it's south korea, europe or the united states. so i would certainly support the people who are saying this is a restraint of trade and should be done away with. we've seen over the past years. so i pretty united western front of we can call us in terms of pushing back, perhaps from washington. they're what they want to take. maybe it's not in the same

interest as brussels before. that seem to be completely. and i think maybe not so more any more is this sign of a, of a wider a global break in the western alliance gym to, as you know, there are many things going on in the world. we seem to indicate we are having realignments of countries. it's happening throughout history often throughout history that time or supposedly permanent alliance is break up and start over again . and it seems to be with what's going on now your brain, china, in the middle east, lots of things are happening, which may be changing the world. how it all ends up. i don't know, but back to your point here, the europeans and the koreans are exactly right. in this case, it is a case where america is forming a restraint or right now i don't think did you do the same thing? i don't think south korea knew the same thing, but in this case,

i would agree with korea and you're on who does europe side with, do you think in this argument? well, mr. by the president and you know, some people would say he's not a very smart guy and he. busy always panders to whoever's around and it just clear that he is patrick to some of his constituents. now. not good for the world, not even good for the united states, certainly not good for europe and started good for, for a korea. but we have to deal with fact if we can change it. i hope we get the e, you says road blocks that are being set up by serbs in the north of cause of of violent acts that will be tolerated. attention the break way. republic of spike and recent days, as people try to prevent a prominent soviet national from being taken into custody to the capitol of cause of you will not tolerate a tax on you, lex, kosovo, or use of violent criminal action. the north barricades must be removed immediately

by groups of kosovo. serbs. com must be restored or soapy as president has accused authorities in the self declared republic of cause of our violating mutual agreements. and the e. u has turned a blind eye to those concerns. alexander voucher said an official request will be made to replace ne, so peacekeepers with serbian troops to protect the serbian population. however, he said there would be countless reasons given to refuse the request. he does, however, feel confident the soviet will continue to face enormous pressure. that's because he says the e u is planning on admitting christina to the block. as while russia claims the crisis has been prepared by the e u. for years. christina will apply for e u membership on december the 15th. and i can expect that already from december, the 17th, when the representatives of germany, france, america, and brussels will be in belgrade. they will explain to me how we have to behave. and if we doubt what the consequences will be, sir,

been prime minister and the burn bitch said that serbia is on the brink of war because of the cause of a prime minister and the inaction of the eel. well, why the inaction? this is exactly the situation that has been essentially modeled for years. while a patrols from the use peacekeeping mission arrived, a barricade set up by ethnic serbs. now we have new records that cause of on special police forces have occupied a critical dam in the area which supplies water to the northern part of the territory where ethnic serbs live. we did hear earlier from a serbian parliament member from the ruling progressive party. he says that a he says the western powers tasked with maintaining peace in kosovo, of taken the side of the break away province. having us, you thought you have a place going to say you was the city austin. no one in the european union takes this issue seriously because they have control on the ground in the break way province. there are kosovo. police officers, troops, the nato army, the coastal force international mission. simply protecting the interests of

christina and not acting in accordance with resolution 1244 and not respecting the brussels agreements. we cannot strongly influence this process that may be done by the european union and the united states, which are the guarantors of the agreements. they can influence christina, but we see that this is not going so easily. we want to resolve this problem peacefully through negotiations so that each of the parties fulfills its responsibilities. but it turns out that the albanians in kosovo do not want to do anything out of what was signed. we see that the rules of the european union and nato are unjustifiable in the situation. serbia makes concessions while pristina simply finalizes its own state hood process and is awarded by the european union. scores of moroccan football fans had been arrested in the french capital. unrest broke out off their teams victory over portugal in the world cup. quote, a finance aah!

police deploy tig asked against the supporters who took to the streets, setting off fireworks, allegedly targeting the authorities. the co exceeds descended into classes with police are port state the crowd swelter nearly 20000 in paris, off the final whistle blue and morocco's one to 0. when over portugal, in cutoff, next up france versus morocco on wednesday, the last 4 of the toner police crews also deployed in the netherlands where thousands gathered outside to celebrate the historic morocco. when the 1st time an african or arab nation has reached the semi final stage of the world cup of found, settled flags, and fireworks as well. we understand some arrests were made as canine. police units were patrolling the area and an equally excited but less volatile pitcher and cut off belgium and spain with a moroccan fans, mainly dancing singing and waving flags and support of the national here.

ah, oh i, that's just about it for this. i was program here one onto international, the weekly wrapping up bed with those stories from well the world cup. well done morocco read more about that on our website oxy. don't ah ah ah, just as a shell. hello everyone. i am maria buena. i am a member of the russian parliament, but 3 years ago, i was serving time in an american prison to day. i have

a unique opportunity to be the 1st to interview victor boot, who has spent too much time in american detention on trumped up charges whose only fault was that he was russian. let's ask him how he's doing to day. hello, victor. hello. how are you today? it's been just a few day. so how are you feeling? rose? you know, i feel happy. yes. absolutely happy. yes. you found happiness? oh, i never lost it. you say you're either happy or not. and there's nothing that can make you happy if you want things that happen to you or any part of the deal. you've got to have it in you to be happy. happiness has nothing to do with where you are and how you are. of course things can be hard, didn't you feel angry? when you see at a certain point, you need to understand that your own anger is only going to destroy you with it. the position that when unused anger is there to make you focus on what you need to do at the right time. but if it stays unused, for long time, you realize that the anger you have to ward someone will that rage is going to

destroy you in the 1st place. i'm not saying one must act on the anger and try to punish the wrong doers. what i'm saying is that one must not nurture anger in one's heart. you need to learn to forgive. only this help me realize. and before i was unable to realize why the russian tradition, in particular, the christine orthodox tradition, is all about forgiveness. i heard about forgiveness but had no idea how it works. when you get to experience something like this and you get to feel all your rage and then realize that unless you find in it, you to work through it and the right way to get used to it in the end and get the same energy that can help you be happy in any needs to be channeled the right way, so that doesn't destroy you in situations when you're so full of it. and it's looking for a way out. what are the most scary, most terrifying things you got to experience them? made you angry for the law? i was angry. what were the most scary things? i'm sorry for making you really that. but what was the hardest thing to you? is hard to say now what was the hardest,

probably the hardest thing was being unable to talk to my family for a long time. i had one call per month. they were hard times with the lawyers too, but not getting enough time of friends and family is the hardest thing that ever happened to me. he spent quite a lot of time. he solitary confinement. it's outright. yes. about 3 years. how is that even possible? what helped you get through that? it was the hardest thing for me. i spend in solitary, only 4 months. you know, maria, i got my hands on a book once that had this interesting idea that the environment is actually neutral . and it's only up to us to view it in a very negative all very positive light. there is an english saying it's either tormentor or your mental his up to us to learn to say the environment is completely neutral for you. so how did you survive in the solitary bush? i'll tell you, no problem. but you know, they brought me to the cell and lock me up. you know, i do good or coach. and i still remember the sound of that door knocking up and then the ringing silence and the blinding fluorescent light. for example, in m. c. c, new york. so called 10 south ward,

that only has 6 cells that they even the tiniest of window sealed. so that you can't see anything, it's much more than just sensory deprivation. that color, they paint everything inside the off white. i think they call it. i think we call it white nights in russian is pretty grey and they make it all bleak on purpose. because do you know who created the u. s. prison systems, nazis delivered it to america as part of the operation paperclip. it was them who said, that's how you break people and make them do what you want, based on their experience. and when the door closed, boom, and then silence, i panicked, it was tough. so what now i thought, and the only way out was to say ok, what would change if i panic? am i going to bang my head on the door scream at the top of my voice trying to prove i'm innocent. this won't help. and we have something in our dna, our blood tradition. i don't know how, but it just came to me. i just let my heart do what it wanted. i didn't crawl into bed. do you know how i started my.
