think a u. s. blood just to extend its combat preparation program for ukrainian soldiers. thousands more troops already being prepared in other nato countries. we speak ukrainian p o w who went through the program. she said, it's a funny thing, but for 2 days they taught us how to hold a weapon. did you use any of the skills that you learned in england, or at least try to know why there was nowhere to use them? us order to cut down on protesters inquiry, well that's at least is according to the ousted president pedro castillo. he's now been sentenced to at least 18 months in jail by prove new us bank government.

and the african leader summit wraps up in washington with american diplomats, bringing up the west colonial passage to criticize worship with july from our studio here in moscow, you're watching r t i p just got here the latest this friday launch time. thank you for joining. we're start off with some breaking news this our, the russian humanitarian mission, and the central african republic says they've been targeted by a terrorist attack. mission says the head of the russian house received a package containing an explosive device that detonated in his hands. dmitri c. t. is reported to be in a serious condition with medic. fighting for his life, of course will bring you more information on the story as and when we get it. and

the news from ukraine now where the ukranian president's office has said that emergency power outages will be taking place across the entire country. earlier, the mares of kevin kirk of both reported explosions. bus will also reported in the upper osha and a desa regions with the desk as governor saying that infrastructure has been damaged in a missile attack, or rate alerts are currently sounding in all ukrainian regions. the u. s. is said to expand training of ukrainian troops as he plans to pay $500.00 soldiers a month on german soil since april the u. s. and his allies have trained around 15000 ukrainian soldiers r t s e good is done of sports a ukrainian prisoner of war. he'd been trained in the u. k. and we should warn you, the interview may have been given under duress. the u. k. prides itself for an overwhelming amount of support. it's provided for ukraine in the war against russia . london has scooped its own stockpiles of weapons too near critical levels. it has

brought tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers to britain's training sites and claim they've evolved into proper commandos. but now the smith is ready to bust overseas training did nothing for this fresh ukrainian captive lunar wool. in september they called me to put it. i got a draft notice and i joined the army with that. is that what happened? then? we'll put a full, i began training. what the training, nor will i was abroad in england. gutless. how did you get there? without them on a plane, they dropped us off somewhere in england. then we rode a bus for around 9 hours. did the plane take off from ukraine, though? no, from poland sports. so the british military training program was covered in an enticing veil of mystery. the lucky few who found themselves at the u. k. boot camp had no previous compet experience and had no idea of what was to come. but the expectations were high. nath proof though that when we were drafted,

we only went through a little athletic training. we were in a list in alphabetical order, and the 1st 180 were sent to england. those who are further down the list stayed school is, are there any who served in the military among those 180 recruits, one or 2 day one of training kicked off in a promising manner. candidates received a full set of gear, from armored vests to under shirts that they got to keep to. but it all went downhill from there. the trainees who expected to learn military coming were taken to class one, a one at which most were spectacularly bad, and we had instructors from sweden, etc. a country of what exercises did you have, which it is excellent. it's a funny thing was for 2 days they taught us how to hold the weapon. if as you say, none of the 180 recruits had ever held weapons in their hands. maybe that was the right thing to do is to thought them would have fucked. and the instructors were shocked. i worked with wood and the others worked in. i tear somewhere else. it's

like when you get an a, b, c book in 1st grade, when people see a weapon for the 1st time in their life, it's hard for them to handle it. why they were always shouting, you shoot one of your own like that. with that. what did you do next? we were learning how to disassemble weapons more than the tactics of movement. what machinery did you learn to use? no machinery, no, no store quarter. we only learn to use british rifles and a k 40 sevens and the n law grenade launcher. did you should the and law not? i'm even thought what i thought we had copies. nobody would give us real launchers . who believe? what kind of training did you expect? or we expected more jewel compare. what exactly did you imagine before getting there? personally, i expected something else. sometimes it wasn't even interesting a month of training passed quickly. it was time to head back to ukraine. instead of

a well coordinated unit, the ukranian command got a mob in fancy uniform, with discipline issues should have 330 of us joined one squadron. from what i understood. they sent us to a squadron that suffered heavy losses over c o. o did those trained in england get along with the others? there were no conflicts, no conflicts. and between those trained, there were conflicts between ourselves. tell me about that. what there were polemics about who was higher up. maybe somebody wanted to present himself in a better way. people threatened each other, threatened yes. why? because o fights and somebody wouldn't like the other person pointing at something. why are you doing this? i'll cut off your finger. like, what do you mean didn't like that, the other person pointing at something or, for example, conflicts along the lines of i put a vase somewhere and you put it somewhere else. why? and the conflict rage is on the will of such disputes. over little things happen

maybe because the people are at war. it wasn't long until the time came to put the skills learned to the test. and the very 1st combat encounter revealed that the reality of war in the dorm bass is drastically different from the grill site simulations that shift cur mitchell arthur, which we were tasked to clear the wood. things went badly there. we didn't even have time to jump off the infantry fighting vehicle. artillery started to hit us, the fire was very intense. did you use any of the skills that you learned in england, or at least try to know why liable? there was no where to use them. we went forward in the artillery hit us. i just got down then stood up, looked around, ran a bit, then got down and so on. later they said to us, to change position. it was around a 150 meters from the main forces. we got there, got an a trench and came under fire. they fired everything they had at us. there

were 5 of us left. the deputy commander had a radio set. he asked for help, but there wasn't any. i was injured but not evacuated. the one with the radio set said, i'll come back later. he went in, never returned. then 2 of us were killed in a strike. the other one was killed when he tried to move back, so i was left injured and alone. after a little time, i heard the cause to surrender. i raised my hands and that's it. it's hardly this man's fault that swedish instructors failed to turn him a handyman. into an effective fighter within a month's time, but at least he was lucky to keep his life and learn his lesson there. when i return home, i won't go to war any more. what if you are mobilized again? wouldn't orders, or if they will die in me with jail, i'll refuse the commanders. let me down. i left on my own monkey.

peruse. supreme court has ruled that the ousted president pedro castillo must remain in pre trial detention fades. he months accused of ins. i think a rebellion, the former leader will wait in custody while the new governments builds a case against him. gasdio doesn't believe that the current governments answered alone. the visit of the us ambassador to the government palace was not free, nor was it in favor of the country. it was in order to take the troops out into the streets and massacre my defenceless people and incidentally clear the way from mining exploitation. as in the case of conquer tia maria and others, the peruvian press will not only remain silent about this, but will easily deny it. of washington's not commented yet on those accusations, but they do come as proof. new leadership announces a 30 day state of national emergency. this in response to castillo support is entering the 2nd week of protests devastated face a violent crack down by the new government, whose actions had drawn support from washington.

ah, with that joke, castillo was impeached for attempting to dissolve the country's congress, which had a mere 10 percent approval rating. at the time, the decision was perceived as unconstitutional, and the very same congress removed him from office, handing power to his vice president present. dina blow r t a has gone appraised in the west and is supported by proof for rights which has driven people to the streets in droves in support of the ousted president. though

peruvians didn't delights the new president who also remains unpopular among much of the electrodes, her presidency is backed by the u. s. is what political unless didier otis has to say about the situation. if castillo were to be set free today, he could go to the palace. you will have thousands of people with him. you will have the crowd of people with him. many officers would hesitate to resist an order from him. those are the facts of the matter. they will try to keep them in jail as much as they can for as long as they can in the harshest condition that they can possibly do to our president allegedly former president. i think that this is a house of cards. the peruvian state is going all out to suppress the protest. the troops on the ground i've been murdering the people. they have been meeting with the ambassador to the united states to pursue lisa can. i met with the minister of

the fence of peru just a couple of days before the co. the u. s. government has always had its hands in politics if you. busy look at the layout of politics. there is plenty of and cios from germany, from the united states, from britain that seek to room if you will, or the next generation of political operatives in room period is some that is a western influence. busy and cios, another operatives can try to take away our country and install another deal colony of the united states. washington's 1st african liter summit in 8 years has concluded. and despite the some have been focused on addressing issues as effect africa, the day you are sexy, blinking didn't miss a chance to pick a dick and russia. it's very powerful because you hear countries that are, we're here in washington this week. gonna kenya. so many others that have

been the victims of imperialism in the past. and who see that now happening to ukraine by russia. throughout the 3 day summits, the united states declare the importance of the region in solving global problems in a bid to compete with africa of the partners, china and russia. the u. s. has already signed deals with $15000000000.00 and voice supports for the african union initiative for permanent g 20 membership. with the us sector, defense accusing russia and china of destabilizing activities in the region. beijing hit back by urging the u. s. to stop using africa as a power games arena. but not all african countries were invited to the summits. guineas to donnelly, tre. molly, and begin a fast. so didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union, or because the u. s. does not have dim diplomatic ties with them. according to u. s. official. we spoke to a number of people from those countries who shared their opinions about the u. s. intentions in the region. what a lot of it france and the usa,

a rejected in africa. it's due to their politics. this initiative is a way to preserve their image in africa. our wishes to have a trusted partner, who is honest to bring good ideas in the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. a, it's an opportunity for joe biden to bring the us back to their former position in africa because united states of america are trying to take advantage of it for a long time. we've been under the leadership of europeans. it's them who colonized us and they are the origin of all these things. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe's place in africa, even though we spoke with john curiosity, who's a host of the whistle blowers program and he believes the u. s. had another reason for not inviting those countries even when the new governments of these countries have pledged a return to democracy. and of, in some cases, scheduled democratic elections that still wasn't good enough for the united states

. and so these 5 countries weren't invited. and i'll add that these 5 countries are 5 that in which the united states can't make any money right now, russia is very popular in africa. china, a china is very popular in africa. and the western countries are not there, not because they ignored the needs of the child of the african people and the african governments for many, many years. the u. s. presence is literally a one of, of war. the only real us presence in any of these countries is a paramilitary force. look at molly, for example, or mauritania, or any of the other of this a hell countries needs year. we only know by accident because of a leak that the united states has a military presence there. a military presence that has not been approved by congress, whose job it is just to, to kill people. and to try to keep these host governments in,

in power. and while the u. s. claims the summits was a success due to the signing of multi $1000000000.00 contracts, the president of donna urged africans not to rely on western money. we must work together to change africa's narrative, which is characterized by disease, hunger, poverty, and illegal migration. if we stop being beggars and spend african money inside the continent, africa will not need charles for respect from any one. we will get the respect we deserve. the residents addressed his african colleagues during the summer in washington, where leaders hoped to find help in solving the confidence challenges that says gunner faces and inflation rates of over 40 percent combined with a high national debt. so it mitigates the country's economic downturn, the international monetary fund, the i, m. f, is already agreed to provide, gone up with a $3000000000.00 loan. the debt crisis is a real threat to nearly half of african countries. the numbers from this year's research by charity debt justice,

show that african government 03 times more debt to western private lenders than to china. as despite warnings about the so called chinese debt truck, we spoke with a pan african compensates who thinks that africa should be more independent a she got in it, so it's called resources and good minerals. it's good enough enough enough human capacity to and she monetize the resources that we possess. right now that variation that we have with for instance, it's only benefiting these for in companies. more than us is this a new crew clooney as in authority that's being used by the waste, in countries to, to, to, to keep having power over african estate is, is,

is to mine because i'm going to have mine. we need to have a control of the economy by africans for africans because this is, this is us, ours is our land, a continent we need to know when he's going to see a stand up together. you know the news, the un general assembly has adopted a russian drafted resolution to combat the glorification of nazism and racial discrimination with the majority of countries voting in favor. the resolution lays out the plan to fight fascism and other factors, the fuel racism, discrimination, xenophobia, another intolerance of a $100.00 members voted in favor of the bill while 50, including the u. s. ukraine, germany and italy all voted against it. the twitter

account of the executive director of the one paul institute for peace and prosperity has been unblocked after 3 and a half year been done. the mcadams are supposed to ortiz federal isabel about the reasons behind the suspension. i made a funny comment about sean hannity, sean hannity, who was doing a 2nd not as program where he was calling out the deep state all the while wearing a cia, the pel pin. not thought that was absolutely absurd because the cia is the deep state. are certainly a major component of the deep state. so used a colloquial word to describe his lack of intelligence connected to 2 things together like this. and that was banned. this is a word that i use, which is not a bad word, but has been used millions of times a day on twitter. but for me i was singled out in the fact is i was just targeted for the general tone of my postings. and this was just an excuse to find the pull the trigger. how has your experience without having tutor? then can you take anything positive away from that? well, it's very strange because, you know, it's like it's like you are sent to google for 3 and

a half years and then they say, you know what, we made a mistake. 2 you're back on, it's no problem. you know, you do suffer the harm to your reputation. you may serve financial harm and that is a problem. and it's a real issue. you know, you have an implied contract with this company and they utilize the break the contract. the question we should have is how many u. s. federal government agents are embedded whether they're active or undercover in our social media, forcing us to say what they want us to say and restricting our free speech. that's the real problem. the large scale and blocking of twitter accounts hopped into mid c o l on most twitter falls revelation earlier in december release documents point to government censorship. aimed at the republican party. evidence suggests the u. s. government use twits as a tool to further that 2020 election agenda. what's, i'll run to these revelations are nothing but a destruction. we see this as a, a,

an interesting or a coincidence. if i made an twitter so half has really pushed this distraction. that is a, that is a full of old news if you think about it and, and at the same time, twitter is facing very real and very serious questions about the rising volume of anger. hate an anti semitism on their platform? or prior to that switzer revelations, many questions had been asked about the legitimacy of mosques, tech company purchase. the earth treasury secretary said that a review of the $44000000000.00 deal may be launched of a possible national security threats. is donny mcadams again? well, i think he's become more transparent and there are a lot of things to be concerned about with the law. must. he is a major government contractor is not going to bite the hand that feeds him, but he does appear to be going more toward a free speech model. and the greatest gift that he's given us is the twitter files because we see the depth of the depravity of the people who were running. twittered

and they get a kick out of hurting people and not being seen or known or unknown in public. so i think blowing the lid off this and the possible use of twitter as a tool to, to manipulate us elections. we were told for years in years. oh, the russians are manipulating your elections. well, it turns out it was twitter and probably facebook in other us, so show me the enemy is obviously closer to home. we've seen the release of the twitter file is one through 5. but most of the people that have been sort of revealed to have been victims of it have been conservative. do you see that the twitter folk will actually reveal a more transparent platform, or is this just more hyper partisan just division right in time for the 2024 upcoming election? the reason probably we're hearing more about conservatives is because we do have some very high profile. donald trump being banned and we saw from that release of

the twitter files. the incredible discussion is going on behind the scenes where people were saying this really doesn't fit in with, you know, with, with, with the rules to ban here. but they wanted to do it anyway. they're having a mental breakdown. so the higher profile ones i think has been on the right, that doesn't mean that, and i know personally on twitter and in real life, less prominent people on the left who have been banned. who have now started to come back a little bit. so we will, they won't be talked about as much, but in my opinion, of course, i go to twitter, you know, to try to get information and they are certainly very, very significant people to me and over to west africa now, where garner has accused neighboring bikini faso of hiring russia's wagner group salvage insurgents in the country as well as pain. the organisation using gold mines gone as president, shared his concerns with us states secretary antony blinking at the u. s. africa summit, claiming that beginners governments has entered into an agreement with the russian

miniature group. although he didn't appear to provide any concrete evidence. the south region has been played by a g. heidi insurgency that has already claimed thousands of lives. displacing 2000000 people in recent years. anti french sentiment and process against the presence of troops belonging to the countries form a colonizer of surge recently, burkina faso. he had of the wagner group of guinea. p. goshen has hit bucket france . i'm us for getting involved in the work of the company and pointing out western history of exploitation and oppression on the continent. we are present in 80 percent of african countries. we illegally mine 50 percent of golden diamonds in africa. we organized military coups every year. we are the american state department, we are the french government. we are western countries and their special services led by the ca. now, as for wagner, wagner will decide for itself where to be. one thing i can say for sure wonder does not develop mines, does not mine gold and does not engage. now they can amik projects so that we won't

have to resist sanctions and other financial restrictions from before we go back to our breaking news, this our, the russian humanitarian mission and the central african republic says they've been targeted in it's her wrist. it's hard for, for more details unless that's cross live. now, to our correspondence, kara about lit butler club. is it breaking news, but what can you tell us so far about this apparent attack? that's right. what we do know so far is casey and this is still very much a developing story. what we do know that and bang gooey in the capital of c a r. we have heard of a news of russian over the tag on the russian military mission, rather than take is on what's on the the russian have of mission in that country. dmitri city who received a package that turns out that the package had an explosive and,

and if detonated. and it really had massive interview a impact on the head of mission in that country he, if, and serious conditions in the hospital. and the doctor was really not advising much right now. we are trying to get in touch with the, with the russian embassy in that country. and as you can imagine details, i still don't know much themselves as to the condition of the but car has been very much a very volatile country. and the, as we have seen the puppies that support on the ground with regards to the former french colonies exit has been gaining ground. and there's, there's a lot of allegations and, and if you will, a bit of, of, of suspicion as to who is behind these attacks and what they're really going for. but what we do know so far is that the state of the head of mission in that country,

dmitri city, is still critical right now, and we will be updating on the story as time goes. well, carbo, thanks to bring those, those details. i hope you keep the best of any developments in the story as when you get more information. that's all the correspondence trouble or john is live for me on his back. thank you. well, it's all for now to be sure to check out our c dot com for the latest breaking news or not dates. i will see you right back here at the top of the hour. thank you for watching. ah, ah ah ah ah

. russia in the west survived the cold war because both recognized and practice, the concept of indivisibility of security. one country should not attempt to attain security at the expense of another country. this is exactly what the west has done against russia to the point of claiming russia has no right to any security guarantees. ah, cross sucking security guarantees. i'm joined by my guess, the boys mileage in washington. he is a blogger, and column is in quebec. we have dmitri last taught us, he is a lawyer and freelance journalist and unworthy. we cross to anthony webber, he is an independent political commentator. alright gentlemen, cross talk pros and effect. that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciated the boy should let me go to you 1st and the imperial city. this idea of indivisibility of security has been quite last ever since the end of the cold war because it was the.
