[000:00:00;00] a pretty good i'm up with a slope headlines, zonati international. a senior indian government official confirms to r t that the reason an india russia summit will not take place here is due to the leaders scheduling conflicts. despite a frenzy of speculation from certain media outlets. also ahead in this hours program it's a disgrace that's weakening the blog and e u official last year's out of the latest corruption scandal involving the union as the media whitewash, the huge involvement in the entire corruption of fab. please

a recruit like this one daily gets a list of talk and dozens of crews. they're operating here every day. and i think crew reports from a flash point area on the don bath front line, ultimately observing the combat operations of a russian artillery unit. with the french news outlet publishers, a report showing that ukrainian force is hunting for so called and pro russian collaborate, who's old traitors in the city or out of song a. it's been a busy monday here in moscow with the headquarters as a new team. here has been fielding, a top stories. let's get straight into them right now. a senior indian government official that's confirmed to r t that the annual india russia summit won't take place due to scheduling issues.

despite an outbreak of certain media guesswork on the current state of relations between the 2 countries. leaders details now without ease, but don't join shot. 3 days ago bloomberg slashed an exclusive scope, saying that the annual more deep within some it has been cancelled. now while it's true, the summit has indeed been cancelled, but nor to because the reasons the western media is citing. the reason they gave was that mister fulton threatened to use nuclear weapons in the war, new green, after which mister moore, the decided not to go to moscow. fourthly, nor such threats would made. and secondly, i've spoken to senior officials in the government of india, and they have told me very categorically that the decision old mr. moore, the not going to moscow, the seo has got nothing to do with any statements or comments made by mister booth . and in fact, this decision was taken weeks ago. this happened because of scheduling issues. it's been

a pact. time for india for the prime minister as well in the our saw state elections in good drop as well as the matcher for the is also the winter session. of the indian parliament has just started, it's been a busy time. and therefore, because of scheduling issues, the annual summit between moore, the in booth in which happens every year last year wouldn't had come down to india this year movie was supposed to go. that summit, of course, has been cancelled and began reiterating north because the reasons that the western media is trying to side. but because of st scheduling issues as india are, is in fact are, is maintaining. let me also point out here that up no matter what the western media is saying or the reason they are citing, they need to perhaps digest this better truth that india is not taking any fights in this war. also the level of engagement, the museum between you deleon, moscow. after 24, the february you seen the health minister of india

b a with the to moscow. we've also seen the national security adviser achieve the wall r as well as the foreign minister of india. as j shanker, who recently was a bit more school. so that's the level of engagement between new delhi and most of the be are talking about perhaps that leaves a question mark on the credibility of western media. and all of these reports that i'm making rounds of, perhaps experts believe that this has been done to create a rift within india and russia. but it seems like that is not happening. it's a disgrace that is weakening europe. that's the damming verdict of one m e p over the latest corruption scandal to engulf the e. u. other top european officials have also condemned the corruption and misconduct if members of the european parliament and other politicians can be bought to say certain things to vote in certain ways. it's

a disgrace and it makes europe weaker. this for awful scandal. abrupt at the heart of the european union with 4 people charged by belgian authorities, including that vice president of the european parliament. eva cai leave from greece . there was a rate on the home of a belgian euro. deputy market tera, bella, was the vice chair of the east delegation for relations with the error peninsula. belgian authorities paid another no not visit to the home of an assistant to yet another euro deputy. so 16 raids altogether resulting and reported 600000 euros in cash seized on friday by a belgian police and allegations from the belgian federal prosecutors office of quote, participation in a criminal organization, money laundering, and corruption. hey, you know, it sounds like maybe ukraine really would fit into the you right about now as most truck country in europe per transparency international. so, i guess it's no wonder european commission, president ursula vander line isn't really sweating ukraine's corruption problems. it's like how, you know, pay come on in. yeah. you know,

keep your shoes on. everyone else has there. she's on no problem here. but to be fair vander line did call the allegations, quote of utmost concern, very serious stations. and that's pretty measured. coming from queen ursula of europe for once. she also proposed the creation of an independent ethics body for the e. u and its institutions. you mean that didn't already exist? maybe that's part of the bravo. for an institution like the european union that preaches to other countries about how to clean up their act, you think that they'd have some strong guard rails in place to prevent the kind of things that these charges allege. the western mainstream media though, is trying to frame it as a cutter problem. just check out the headlights european parliament shaken by her corruption scandal. cats are corruption, scandal, rocks, the e parliament world cut a missed opportunity to protest,

cut their corruption immorality you, parliament under scrutiny as cut their corruption prob expanse. why is this not considered 1st and foremost, a european union corruption prob, and problem shifting blame ought to cut her only ready serves to stop looking right there. where caught her stops. but how many other countries could be enjoying similar ah lobbying arrangements with folks in positions of political power and influence in brussels. transparency international suggest that this kind of thing is actually pretty commonplace. this is not an isolated incident. over many decades, the parliament has allowed a culture of impunity to develop where the combination of lacks financial rules and controls and a complete lack of independence or indeed any ethics oversight. that doesn't sound very good. so the big question that really shouldn't be asked now the big elephant

in the middle of the room is if this is the visible tip of the iceberg, when it comes to shady activities at b, e. u, then just how big is the actual iceberg? and is anyone truly interested in digging any deeper to find out? now to some updates from don bass, we understand 3 people confirmed death now off the lid, the latest ukrainian attack on the city of don. yes, that is confirmed by local officials. i'll be honest on dozens of shells were launched on monday by key of on residential areas across the donuts republic. multiple residential buildings were badly damaged. some of them took direct hits in one health clinic and the capital city was also attacked as well as a number of shops. meanwhile fis battles had been raging on the front lines of bon bath between russian and ukrainian forces, backed by a number of western mercenaries. ah, the correspondent eager shannon got access to one of those flash points of a luck. fine weather is hardly

a good omen here to the new crane in theater of war. this week, in 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. ah, every crew like this one daily gets a list of targets and at least can be more than 10 targets long. and basically, dozens of crews like this dozens of vehicles like this. they're operating here in the forest between criminal and lima, and spots of every day grab walk at noon,

she 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 in the but i feel about unit. our targets are mainly the enemies manpower. we are also targeting fortified enemy positions. if there was 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, one of the month, so great russia glued prisoner exchange funds to the extent of thousands and sources on the ground. tell me over the weekend battles have muted, fresh harvest 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 a market in the next,

a rare sports of civilian bustle in the otherwise battered city. the shelling followed an overnight high mars 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 war is all that dwells in the morbid conflict between russia and ukraine. hamburgers done of reporting from the dumbass artsy. sir, russian forces are fighting nato in ukraine. that's according to the assistant to the head of the chechen republic who's also the deputy commander of the 2nd army corps in the lucas republic. he discussed the car situation on the ground in an exclusive interview to arty arabic correspondence, sada gone, had dia, always thoroughly hosea, but i need it. we've built

a good defensive line. i have gone on the offensive very day so that the enemy would understand that we're not going to sit in defense. on the contrary, we keep the initiative and move forward, and we are doing sort of slow pace to avoid large losses. today the entire front is advancing, not a large distance, of course, but still we're moving forward a little in all areas. was left to the withdrawal of russian troops from the right bank of the his own region. according to intelligence data, ukraine has regrouped his equipment and soldiers to other areas. for how serious is it now? has you had made it to me? and we realized that a large amount of their equipment and manpower were transferred. but i want to note that we have already destroyed most of them just during the last 3 weeks. we destroyed about 50 tanks in the same number of other armored vehicles. actually the ukranian regrouping did as good as it gave us an active opportunity to destroy the maximum amount of equipment and soldiers. raymond,

would contest the solution. we often hear about foreign mercenaries such as polls, americans, britons, and others. is there any data about it and what are they doing here in comparison to the ukranian soldiers? then you might threaten couple through less friends. it was a issue. now we understand that both ukrainian formations and the natal block cannot stand in opposition to our units. yes, a lot of foreign weapons were thrown against us with all the help from western specialists who spoke the different languages of the world. but they were all destroyed by us and sent back either dead or wounded. it doesn't matter to us which opponent we are up against o'quinn bidding wallet. so our way, in fact, supposing nato dose the looms, walk, and lamp the, the fact that we are fighting with nato. i shouldn't even explain that because any same person understands that. for example, the high mars artillery is just an ordinary piece of iron, but if it is corrected by navigation systems, that are the property of the u. s, than this is already highly accurate. so all the attacks,

terrorist attacks and technical innovations are using the forces and means supplied by the natal block, liaison cody theory will meanwhile at least 20 people have been killed by ukrainian forces in the city of hudson, after russia withdrew from the area in early november this is all confirmed by the russian civic chamber. now it comes amid a report recently broadcast by france 24. the showcases ukrainian soldiers in their attempts to hunt down so called pro russian collaborators. ne marina cosser ever had details with me in the studio. just a little bit of yes, it's a good thing that they're talking about it so that at least people know that it is happening so that eventually, if we see pictures like what we saw coming out of ukraine with people tied, for example, to up a line post, which is something that we've seen, we'll get to that in a 2nd that we know where it was coming from. so let's get back to this report. so french $24.00 show the report which featured and and g o. and this and geo is

basically tasked with finding collaborators, so called traitors. i went on the website, we can see some of the names there. it's an endless list. and this one, just politicians, they have a journalist, they have teachers, directors of schools, they even have priests there. and these are the people, they consider traitors. and it shows the director of the st. jill being very happy about how much data they have and how much information they have about these collaborators. and then they show a guy and he's part of the crane special forces, and he has no sympathy. and he says, we need to hung down each and every one and punish them. derosa education takes many forms, including the hunt for collaborators or traitors as this post of wine recalls him. alexander is a special forces soldier. hunting down, collaborators is something he does to fix on that has no sympathy for those that were tempted to work with the russians. they have to be hunted down. he said. now

the problem with this is that afterwards they don't show what happens the aftermath of such activities. and we've seen what happens in what ukrainians do, not only to their own soldiers when they abandon their positions, but also to those who they consider traitors. we can see some of the photographs and some of the videos of how they punish them. so this essentially this angio, which is talking about hunting everyone down and punishing them. what did they mean exactly? is this the result that we're going to see? because the regional a, one of the regional officials in can san said that over a 130 people have been arrested so far for collaborating with russia. again, there are no trials, there is no evidence that they provide and no one is looking after them. and overseen what they do and how they deliver this justice. we're just not that over 130 people have been arrested. where are they? what happens to them? so these are the pictures that are not being shown on fund tv and also they're released and another report, for example, where they're saying that local police officers are stopping random people on the street and questioning them. in fact,

this looks more like terrorized and locals because they are inspecting their ideas . they're looking for their cell phones. they're trying to establish any links and connections they could have with any russian citizens or with, with russia in general. and then sat fuel to the fire, they invited guests who are calling for attacks on russian soil. if troy fail, daughter was at dark, other attacks can be done this time, much more symbolical, for example, for regarding the range, what's been shown with their strikes is that they could have reached moscow. people therefore, as an example, it could be easily said, but the next victory parade in moscow was a military target for thank god, well, they are making a big parade. and i'm striking in the middle of the battalions that are marching. so these are some of the comments that even the viewers are pointing out. and they're saying that this encourages attacks on russian soil that we're seeing crimes committed by the ukranian army, completely being ignored. and also one of the,

even it is the ease you trying to incite the genocide of pro russia ukraine is because let's not forget the people who are hunting down these traitors. many of them are part of the as of battalion, which isn't it's warriors for it's far right. ideology, it's a brutal tax dick. something that was reported in mainstream media before the conflict with ukraine began. it's only now that there really ignore in this. so we have a euro basically that's always said, oh oh, russian journalists are biased, they're not given us the full story. and now we're seeing that they themselves are given half the story and not saying what comes afterwards. yes, great that you're talking about it, but show what could happen after i guess, i mean, i guess, as you say, showing half the story is better than showing none of the story. yes. yeah. given the state of affairs in the world today, marina culture ever thank you. we're also talking earlier to author and journalist crystal nail. now she believes the media is trying to whitewash cubes, actions to ultimately reassure the west and public about continue to military and massive financial support for ukraine. of course,

there do not explain what will happen to the people who are considered as russian. they also do not explain that you can and being considered like these, just because your neighbors have perhaps a conflict with you and decide to, ah, say to the soldiers or ukraine soldiers that you are a perverse and just to get some revenge against you. the thing is that they try to whitewash whitewashed them to whitewash their support because of course if they explained to the western people that ok, we support, we give money and we weapons to new nazis. battalions. i mean it will be a big, big scandal. so they cannot afford that. so of course they are putting all the neo nazis in all the war crimes under the carpet. russia says it will help serve you to defend this legitimate interest in cause of a let's offer a direct confrontation between serbs on cause of our police was narrowly avoided last night in the break way province,

a former cause of our search minister as demanding a stop to what he called a hunt against local subs. not re me. we do not need anything from others. we only want to save our own our families, the actions of the serbian people, our reaction to the unilateral steps taken by christina, we demand peace. we demand reason from all parties. first of all, christina, and we demanded our unjustly and unconstitutionally detained citizens be released. and that albin, cutty, withdraw all the units that he sent to the north. for him to stop bullying our children and stop hunting serbs. tensions in kosovo erupted at the weekend when ethnic so demonstrate has put up barricades to stop a prominent. so be a national from being taken by authorities to cause diverse capital. serbian armed forces are employed to the administrative border with cause of a report. lee, in response to similar measures taken by the cause of authorities, because of the officials gave the protest of the deadline to remove the barricades

by sunday night. however, they do remain, and i go to court up at the latest. now, without the contributor nicola yo, she has details since yesterday and on the been with metro peaceful one day today. regarding the barricade and roadblocks set up by 32 days ago, the situation is unchanged despite the announcement from placed in yesterday. so it must be on the right, they do. they will do it by force. not nothing happened in that manner. and so the mean to gather up on the better kids and the other can. the rest of his lawyer said that the bas wants to put him into custody for 2 days to question whether or not there is presence of any criminal activities around him. he's been

accused of and now we're back to remind all the viewers that he's the rest was the start of the barricade on their own blogs impossible. 2 days ago. so in that manner, sort of have now come out informal question. so they have several press, one of them is of course, the lease of their family. and then the other one is that all of these special police forces from the north of course, and they request the military and police forces to return to course or according to reserves. and some of the consulting admissions. $1000.00 of them. and they demanded that the demands are heard and if not, they will continue their peaceful pro this and the other hand because the from nation means to for an affairs that these tend to be,

they support the so the cause to express support for something corso and on the other hand, there's tina still pushing k for to dismantle the berrigan themselves and they put up to do otherwise in their own matter. and gave 4 members from the german contingent were present and the better get today they were speaking to the serbs asking who in queen senior to them to come and make barricades who is responsible for all of these courses they talk to and why are they doing it in the 1st place and serves responded that they did it by themselves without anyone's pushing or intention and that they will dismantle the better kids and go home when their demands are confirmed. and the reason why they are protesting, 1st and foremost, there are ask them their fellow citizen is the undertaking. so suggestion that the barricade currently is peaceful,

but pensions are still very present and both sides are on the watch. hotel housing, chinese diplomats on business men and the afghan capital has come under attack. we understand the explosion ripped through the building before armed men reportedly open fire. we have this report and the latest details from one local journalist. i saw her go over to the car around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. a huge explosion was heard in a district to pull laser. a few armed attack is entered into a building where chinese nationals and others were residing in a guest house. the attack as i've been fight inside the building. a few moments later, a heavy contingent of 10 a band soldiers rushed to the area and entered the compound and engaged the terrorists. now the firing has been stopped, but we can't confirm the actual number of dead and injured from independent sources . we don't know whether the dead and injured a chinese, foreigners, or local afghans. however, the taliban have claimed that they killed old 3 attackers,

and no foreigner has been killed. the whole area is cordoned off why taliban soldiers and no one is allowed to enter the area and to confirm how many people are injured. forma twitter, c, e o jack dorsey may find himself putting a go to jail cod because he's lied to congress about twit has practice of shadow banning conservatives. the coal for an official investigation was actually made by a congressman from arizona. the choice of falls revealed at former twits at c o. jack dorsey may have committed perjury. he told congress under oath that towards it was not shadow banning conservatives. twitter was he should be investigated by house committee on the judiciary and house oversight committee. republicans, le dorothy testified under oath in 2018 that the company had never engaged in such a practice with several other executives having since, oh echoed his claim. the immensity, the scandal has erupted out. the new blue bird boss ellen must cause leaked

bombshell in total memos. the reveal twitters partisans, censorship, limiting the visibility of tweet posted by conservative uses. i discussed it with our legal and media analyst, lionel he believes, as fight the global attention, the home twitter scandal, one loss in 2005, a number of major league baseball players basically lied about stairway use. nothing happened in 1994 before congress. tobacco executives lied about whether they thought nicotine, believe it or not, was addictive. nobody ever prosecuted them, so don't hold your breath. may i provide you? the real question was their state action. this is critical in a 1st amendment analysis in our legal system. did government seek social media to act in essence as a proxy, as an agent to quash, to quell to abrupt 1st amendment speech that the government couldn't normally get

to do you use these folks as agents why have inherited you media reported one thing on this subject now, does anybody think that facebook and instagram and google and new to that they don't censure? does anybody think that censorship is not going on right now as we speak? and who believes this idea of i hate to personally bubbles of eli mosque as this white knight in truth savior. why did elected officials and law enforcement meet? was social media platforms. how commonplace is this? who, who still banned on twitter in 1975, our own church committee, said that reveals will be called operation mockingbird, where our intelligence agency worked with media. this is nothing new, no, this is new. and where is the g o p? where are the republicans? where what, what happens is, i have a strong feeling,

the social media absorb all of the energy. that's where all of this goes, not into the house because in 3 days this is going to be forgotten. this is the tip of the iceberg. this is so critical and it's, it's international, not just here, but do you think anybody's going to go any further? no, they're going to look at the 1st level of this and focus on this. it's low hanging fruit because you've got these interesting characters who look funny. it looks range and, and we're there, we're lifestyles. but the point that is being missed is simply this. what the governments around the world can't do l get social media to do for you. yeah, talk about the tip of the iceberg with this twitter scandal here on our feet international wrapping up this house program for moscow. thank you for joining us here and sharing a time with us here in the russian capital. so good to have your company. a busy monday evening program. thanks for joining us. we are back soon with more. your
