a, a with the russian on delivery here. every crew like this one day, like at least a cruise operating here. every day. i'll take a report from a flood point all gone by the front lines observing a callback operation. russian artillery unit tension. that's great in survey as go weighted uses the braithwaite program. so call violating peace agreement for reportedly deployed quite both sides and a form of vice charles of good. you have in fact on this. so functions meant

to bring with do i get off in good evening where ever you are in the world? welcome to our international, just on 5 am here in the russian capital, and it's great to have you with us. i'm right, mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. we start with that i just development in the crane conflict that these 5 people have been reported wounded in recent auxilary shelling bike forces targeting civilian areas in the city of damascus. local authorities said the ukraine and forces were using soviet song grand rocket launches, as well as modern natal artillery guns. ablaze, erupted as a market that was struck in the attack. dozens of residential buildings were also

reported damaged, so well as a school, a kindergarten and a hospital. we heard from a resident of one of the damaged, apart to see you used to live speaking with. they'd been firing since 5 am it here right here. i fell out of the chair that came out site and there was already a fire, the windows blue out. i don't know what to do now. first battles have been a raging on the front lines of the dumbass between russian and ukrainian forces. archie correspondent egos jam of got access to well, the fresh points where he observed the workable russian artillery unit. fine weather is hardly a good omen here in the ukrainian theatre of war. this weekend, the gloom of december made way for tentative sunshine for russia and ukraine. it only meant they could finally take full advantage of the drones, as both armies rushed headlong into attack. these rocket miss our systems are the

backbone of the russian artillery here. oh, every crew like this one daily gets a list of target and at least can be more than 10 targets long. i basically dozens of crews like this dozens of vehicles like this. they're operating here in the forest between criminal and lima, and spots over every day. the grad walketh launcher, makes an immediate escape. the slightest delay can easily turn it from predator into prey. this sunday, so both armies attack on a collision course and russia made a point in overwhelming the enemy in artillery fire to nip every assault and the but i feel about unit. our targets are mainly the enemies manpower. we are also

targeting fortified enemy positions. if there is something more significant, we hit the headquarters, the positions of enemy artillery, our intelligence is working. so we have visual confirmations of the strikes on video. in the months of war with ukraine, russia grew, it's prisoner, exchange funds to the extent of thousands and sources on the ground. tell me over the weekend, battles have yielded fresh harvest of captives for moscow. soldiers duped it out on the battlefield to the tune of caves. fresh attacks against cities under russian control, a fiery inferno engulfed, he market internet's a rare sports of civilian bustle. in the otherwise battered city. the shelling followed an overnight high mas attack against a holiday recreation center in milly, topple. local officials revealed it left at least 2 people killed and 10 wounded.

all expectations that russia's infamous winter frost could push both sides towards a low in the fighting, shattered against bloody reality. the endless darkness of war is all that dwells in the morbid conflict between russia and ukraine. i'm again done of reporting from the dumbass r t. earth intentions in serbia. as well. ray says the weston box breakaway republic of crossover, has been violated in peace agreements. martha willis m. oscar. they created a monster 23 years ago and finished making it in 2008. i have a question for our american partners. tell us which legal act to you and christina, respect to respect the you and charter or resolution $1244.00 or the brussels agreements, or is it the washington agreement name at least one of these acts. the pristina respects. name one the you to the americans. respectfully name,

at least one of the president, which is the press conference after the meeting of serbian security council. and he stated that government will stand firmly with people in causal and advise them may not provoke in any manner international forces. there. that is the case for and of course the members of the coastal police forces. and he said in the same way that there are bro cations from the other side. and he said he expects. and he has speculations that may be obedient, who tried to conduct the flavor ration to attack the international forces and to q setups for that. so they have reason that is an excuse to attack and remove the barricades in the dogs as well. now better kids are staying walks will still be there is also as president,

would you said this not to be the harvest since he became president of serbia? and he said that our army is directly on the administrative line between corso and central serbia, and that it will answer to any type of provocations if you do curtis toward the serbs situation currently is peaceful at the barricades, but nobody can tell the certainty what tomorrow will bring now let's take a look at some of the details of what's been happening in recent days when armed forces have reported the being deployed to the administrative border with cause of the response to cost of threats to use force against ethnic protesters. germany for methods said bel, blaze move was unacceptable. a statement that fitted a hospice from the serb inside the protest erupt is at the we can when demonstrate

is erected roadblocks to prevent a problem. been national from being taken by authorities. the cost of capital controls from the eas peacekeeping mission in the self declared republic have arrived at the barricades as local. so sort to keep close to the police out of the neighborhoods. we discussed the rising tensions with in principle analyst. he says western powers have turned a blind eye to crimes committed blank of albanians because that was the political interests. they won't rest until they have a clean course of all which can join made. and you know, that's the game. that's the end game. have kosovo, unite with, albania, and 2 large nato. the west react only one, the serbs act in self defense. they never react. absolutely. never when close to

well is engaging aggression, violence against the serbia minority. they've made incursions into the north to kidnap people, the people they've arrested people without cause. they've broken into people's houses and nato or the you haven't got a single thing. you know, nobody has, has faced any consequences. you know, this is a big geopolitical game and they're using a people as pawns and they don't care. there's going to be another ethnic cleansing or another genocide. in fact, they're encouraging parallels. have the enrollment seen in the survey attentions and the green conflicts as surveys for the addresses are reported. statement by former german chancellor angler merkel. she was cited by the media saying the minsk ceasefire agreements were meant to give, keep time to strengthen is military or wor no, we saw that historically important statement by angela merkel. i'm surprised and

i'm still checking in every way to see whether it's possible that she said that she is a woman that i greatly appreciated. for me, that statement is almost unbelievable if it is confirmed. if he have had not wanted to fulfill the minsk agreements, that sheds a completely new light, he cannot change the fact of who attacked whom. but in many ways it changes the fact and relationships within what has been happening since 2014. and that's a clear signal to me whom you shouldn't trust. so in brazil, ours, alexander poverty, again says the west has essentially given crossover court launch for independence movement against belgrade. it looks the same thing the was doing with ukraine buying a time so that it could harm itself. so this could go from natal training. well, over the past 9 years, you know, nato has been training a,

they've been building an army for them, which is totally legal. the same practically the same situation as with many agreements and ukraine, meaning the west facts one side here, albania is in cost of all in your crane. kia government, where the side that is not required to fulfill any part of the agreement that it's signed. thinks that it can do what it wants and actually feels it as part of the support of the west to actually commit aggression. commit ethnic cleansing for all 3 vice chancellor has admitted that the western sanctions against russia have backfired, cools in green damage to the economy. oh, we've been through a lot lately. we've survived the sanctions policy that misled us under the pretext that the sanctions policy would bring russia to its knees. the russians have

doubled their business. there was no question of bringing russia to its knees. it's all on the country, we say how austria homes itself and how europe homes itself, where we ourselves actually suffered more from the sanctions. and we see rising prices for electricity and gas for food in europe. more more people will suffer from this. so after the european union cutting itself off from russian oil and rush and gas, european industry in households can't afford to pay the high costs of the remaining gas, either that's in the reserves or imported liquefied natural gas from the us, priced at 2 to 4 times the u. s. market rate as french president emanuel macklin complained to joe biden, during his day visit to the white house earlier this month. so europe made a mass of its own economy with its own sanctions and is forcing every one to lioness ness. as european politicians are now routinely pointing out foolish. the problem is we're going to destroy what's left over from our industry. the few

businesses who stayed are contemplating moving to another country, for example, to the u. s. where energy is much cheaper. one last thing, the genius of our ecologists and our elite. you noticed that with the conflict in ukraine, we gave up on russian gas and rushed towards american guess the famous ellen. gee, you noticed that even the cold just stopped criticizing this type of guess? what do you know where it comes from? difficult. as for rush and guess it's putin who stop deliveries. totes hero. nothing. yeah. no, it's us who boycotted the russian guest supplies. we said we don't want it any more and he said we will not supply to you any more then. it's been far too long since european commission president ursula vander line promised europeans some relief, even as energy bells continue to pile up. so what's brussels brilliant idea to fix its mass to cap the price of gas? now, it seems that they are desperate to fix the situation of their own making as kremlin spokesman. dmitri pesca explains, amid the absurd and frantic desire as the european say,

to get rid of their dependence on russia. they do not say at the same time that they want to exchange one dependence for another. that is, they have now changed their dependence on russia for dependence on american liquefied natural gas. it's exactly the same dependence. there is much less reciprocity. and now when the europeans lose billions of euro's every day, the united states is now earning billions of dollars there. but there's another problem. the european commission knows full well. that setting the cap to low could mean screwing up the blocks energy market even more than it already has. there's also the question of which countries could actually stop selling gas to europe altogether. because, well, since when does the customer demand a certain price that they will pay? we're talking about global energy market here by the you is basically saying that it wants to haggle over the price of gas. like it's a dog eared 4th hand comic book on sale at the local neighborhood draw sale even

the european central bank is warning of the risk of financial instability with this move as are some you countries like germany and the netherlands. the european commission knows the risks, which is why it's just paying lip service to the idea with a price tap, so high. that's virtually useless at $275.00 euros per megawatt hour. europe's natural gas is trading right now at about a $135.00 euros per megawatt hour. and even at that price, people and businesses are struggling. so there are 12 you countries now demanding a lower price cap somewhere between $200.00 and a $150.00 euros. and those 12 countries could very well, vito, anything. as the blocks energy ministers meet to tackle this issue. this week. not only has brussels jeopardize its own energy security and economic security,

but also its military security, as it ships its weapons off to ukraine. that hasn't gone unnoticed either by european political and industrial figures. melchor's stalks had disappeared altogether, but we continued the sans arms and ammunition to zalinski. let's stop this complete madness, dundas fare. previously it had more than 2000 leopard 2 tanks. now there are about $300.00 of them. it may still be able to defend osburg with them, but not berlin. the good news is that it's still not too late to pull out of the nose dive. but unfortunately, the pilots at the controls here in europe seem more interested in proving that everyone is on board and united as they hurdle towards earth cheering. bam, take that boon. south korea has lash out at freight protectionist measures recently imposed wides, close ally,

the u. s. soul has sought help from the e. u to join forces to oppose those restrictions, especially concerning the developing electric car industry. we have a huge room for the e, u in korea to work together and to make the inflation reduction act system 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. yes, inflation does a lot to which has caused the come to the curb rising prices by reducing the corporate tax rate to 50 percent. it will provide a 30 percent tax credit to domestic energy production. while promoting clean energy, as well as the stimulates of purchase of electric vehicles made in the us. now, in the recent maintain with french president emanuel macro usaa needed, joe biden said he wouldn't apologize for the tax law even as the threatens to take

the issues to the world trade organization. for a resolution. the top officials have express deep concerns about the u. s. the installation, they said the protection measures will harm the auto industry and may full european countries. i'm companies to move a broad investment expert. jimbo just says this policy is going to exasperate current level e comic charges. but the main problem, we have a serious inflation problem in the world. now, this is just going to add to it. whenever you put on restraints or chair of quotas, it leads to higher prices for whatever we're discussing. we already have a serious inflation problem. it's just going to get worse and this is going to make it worse, is protection is by the name you want to use. yes, it's clear. it's clear to most observers,

it is true or out protection. now let's take a look at the real situation here. natural gas prices in the u. r. 600 percent higher than it's close ally across the atlantic. while electric prices are almost double, this is triggered the relocation of all of them of the production from europe and south korea. so the us disrupting years of investments, jim rogers, again, believes europeans anchor and doing the right thing in attempting to tackle washington's protection as policies. i'm a us citizen, but i don't like it either. i don't like 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. as you know, there are many things going on in the world which seems to indicate that we are having realignments of countries. it's happening throughout history often

throughout history, that turmeric supposedly permanent alliances 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. europeans and the koreans are exactly right. in this case, it is a case where america is warming a restraint. right? now, don't think that you're doing the same thing. don't think that south korea knew the same thing. but in this case, i would agree with korea and your wife. first of all, the or in parliament has been suspended from her post on corruption allegations, media, se greek, you know, maker and several other people were involved. the influence buying scheme in brussels that was backed by a middle eastern government earlier, my colleague, rory, sushi, got the details from correspondent marina casa river. elgin prosecutors,

their statement was just general, and it said that it's suspected the gulf country of influencing the economic and political decisions of the european parliament by offering at large amounts of money. and also large and very expensive gifts to people who could influence decisions within the parliament. but again, it's only the media make it not connection, but we do not political, for example, they claim that they saw, and the rest warned for one of the other members who's been charged, then that was peer antonio, palm city. i'm sorry, i'm not sure if i'm pronouncing that correctly, former italian m e p. also the president of an and geo, and actually in parliament. what's interesting is that he chair the shima right subcommittee. now his wife and daughter were also arrested in italy and his arrest warrants right according to political once again that he's accused of intervening politically with members working up the parliament for the sake of guitar and

morocco. so that is the only information we have for kits har is named alongside morocco, but that's again according to political and the european arrest warrants that they saw for him. it's hard just now it's said, according to an email statement sent to political. once again, they said that they don't want to be affiliated or associated with this because already the media has gone while they're saying that this is the most corrupt scandal in decades to head brussels. there were searches of 16 addresses in brussels, where they recovered 600000 euros. they see that along with the laptops and cell phones for further investigations, when you talk about these media reports, i mean basically the reports are claiming that after the former greek m. p eva, kylie visited cut out last month. she then allegedly started pushing a pro, cut tardy agenda in the european parliament. whether that's true or not,

i can't say, but can you talk us through the details factly. as soon as this news broke, all a journalist started trying to dig up any information they could to see what ever kylie had said about cats are. and they found plenty, for example, she said that could start from their labor rights. and like you saw this is on the backdrop of everyone's really not saying kind words about cuts are because of a human rights record. there were no 2, not there were talking about migrant rights and gbc rights. like you said. and they said that she apparently said that they you p and parliament recognized and respected cuz horace progress and she even accused. so my me piece of bullying kits are, here is a clip of her defending guitar. i lo says that cut down it's throne throughout the labor rights, abolishing a fall and reducing minimum wage despite the challenges that even europe and companies are denying the and for the love they committed to a vision by choice and they open to the world. still some here are calling to

discriminate them, they bully them and they accuse everyone that talks to them or engages of corruption. but still they take their dust still, they have the companies profiting billions there. so this is what everyone is referring to. now when they're saying, well look, she was defending could sar whenever one else was accusing as of corruption and the human rights records. and now perhaps she's the one that received the money and she was trying to do their dirty work. that's the accusation. of course, the trials will just start with, she's only been charged not along with a 3 others, but she's already been dismissed and expelled from her party in greece when it comes to the european parliament. she's been suspended, but she cannot be fired outright because that comes down. so bowed. so talk political groups have to vote on that. and also the full parliaments as well. germany ruling hood who is set out to try to national gun control laws following

away from the rest of the alleged members of an antique government movement. 25 people will taken into custody for a ledge, rolled in the so called rush bus movement, seeking to overthrow the government and to reestablish the german empire. those arrested included the defendant of german, a risk of quasi and form a prominent member of the right wing alternative for germany party company known as a f. d. a senior officially, the countries ruling social democratic party made the blame for the revolutionary movement directly on the f. the fantasies of the crew have become concrete plans. denise fantasies, a part of the a f t standard speech is the ac, is being watched for anti constitutional aspirations. and that's right. the ifd has become increasingly radicalized spreading. conspiracy myths include fantasies. the

party acts like an interface for the networking of right wing extremist organizations. previous he job officials tried to impose gun laws specifically against members of the entity. despite it being while the country is 5 most popular political parties. my colleague, rory sushi, spoke with an after law maker from germany's national partner, who says the ruining coalition has been long being seeking to tarnish his policies, reputation. they are always going to completely over the blow is the right. right. going. all right, dangerous to do our democracy in the, in the media to only talk about rights. extremely say they don't talk about islamic extremists, they don't talk about less cumulus. you don't talk about climate extremist. they only talk about right, right, right, right. so they try is always to, to bring a,

f d, f is right, a nazi, this is what, what they always try so that, that has worked, but it's not working anymore. your alternative germany party has been subject to some deep state surveillance measures off the germany's top court does related at a potential threat to democracy. how did it get to this point? it is the like, the way to success, but in germany as a position are you, if you approach to going up, continues the last month, the energy price, so high in germany. and they're all, in some cases of violence from migrants. and these are all going to be discussing and bringing on the table if we are the only opposition party you of course the, the cushion democrats on the left party. but actually we are the ones who were hunting the government, they know start to mind when you're criticizing,

criticizing the government, know they want to become it the, make it a criminal act that you start to criticize a bit, which is the main task of an opposition party, so they, they talk about digitalization off the states. and if they bring this into an extremist, a corner that you drink the genetics treatments, when you stop, criticize your government, these people would be immediately putting a lot of pressure on, on other governments. if, for example, in theory or even russia party would, would be acted like it in germany. no. by the rest of this is our next extensive interview with victo boot about his time in the us prison. when he talks about forgiveness. i will meet here that's over the hour with

awe. is your media a 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 led to somewhere? which direction? what is true was his faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, that's that a sam?
