boomerang, ah ah, [000:00:00;00] with a terror attack on russia, humanitarian office, and the central african republic leave the head of the mission seriously injured us to pledge is to expand that come much training program for ukrainian soldiers with thousands of cubes, triple ready, being prepared in nato countries, we speak with a ukrainian military prisoner who studies u. k. military training didn't do him any good who suited there? it's a funny thing, like 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 no where to use them both plus, the russian president found the indian prime minister discussed by last will ties over the phone. my apologies media. remember the indian foreign minister back out of a meeting with my parents in which the kremlin dismissed of a misunderstanding with very welcome. you're watching out the international with the latest world news day is great to have you with us. now the head of russia's humanitarian mission and the central african republic is being treated in hospice. oh, of the apostle blood. bomb exploded in his hands. the russian foreign ministry has condemned the attack. we strongly condemn this criminal act, which is clearly aimed against activities of the russian house in van d, and more broadly against the successful development of friendly relations between

our 2 countries. those close to our africa correspondent, corolla toddler corroborated to see you. could you tell us more about this incident and the status of the, of the person in question? well, from what we understand from reliable sources on the ground, is that the puzzle that mr. city opened was delivered by b h l, and it was sent from low may the capital p of toll go, which is just neighboring central africa republic. the condition of mister dmitri 38th seems worrying and serious. the doctors have said that he is currently in the fight of his life. this comes on the back of a lot of developing youth just on the eve of this particular passage. being sent to mister 30, the french troops with

a good thing. the central african republic following some seriously from chest relationship between between togo and from the former part of the country and mississippi was really seen from about 20112019. rather, he was seen as a man who was mediating between the different rebel groups in the central african republic as well as the central. busy african republic authorities, as you know, they have been a lot of rebel groups causing conflict within that region. and it's really been unstable from about 2013, the aim, which experienced a civil war and the french troops, even though they were there, they were unable to stabilize the situation and bring about peace in the country. and to really well, some of the rebel actions that we have seen as we understand from, from what we know mr. safety is,

condition continues to be of various importance. and i think i observed the language used within that statement that was issued by the russian foreign ministry . and now i asked myself in who's interest would this warm me be happening? but maybe those questions that will be answered by the investigation that will ensue. what we do know is that we do have a statement and a portion of blame from mr. guinea precaution, who is the russian businessman and co fund of the private military company. wagner's roof. on november 11th, dmitri city received a package from togo with a photograph of his son who lives in france. it contained a note saying that next time he would get the head of his son. if the russians do not get out of the african continent and open the doors for the french today, he got another package. despite all the instructions for observing security

measures. dmitri city, being in an emotional state, opens the parcel. there was an explosion before losing consciousness. dmitri sitting managed to say that he saw a note saying, this is for you from all the french, the russians will get out of africa. so among the other things that we know is that if the precaution has, has lobbied the russian foreign ministry to launch an investigation into this particular incident. but he also goes further to say that he would like to see from, in particular being declared as they one of tara by the russian federation. as i say, this is a developing story. and we continue to get information in dribs and drabs, and we will keep you updated as and when we know we appreciate that. thank you. the trouble to talk about art is africa correspondent. good news from the ukraine, kfc, emergency power outages,

will be imposed across the country. softer the latest series of air strikes on the need and its energy facility. earlier the mass of kiev and hong kong both reported explosions their last heard in is up at osha and the does the regions with the desk as governor saying local infrastructure has been damaged. dozens of cruise missiles will reportedly find into ukraine by the russian military, which viet to make an official statement on fridays as strikes. meanwhile, the u. s. is set to expand as training of ukrainian troops as washington plans, super past $500.00 soldiers per month. as a base in germany now since april nato is trained around 15000 ukrainians ortiz ecosystem. i've interviewed a ukrainian prison of war. he said he was trained in the u. k. and we should warn you that his claims have not been independently verified. 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. no lunar will. in september they called me to, but it, i got a draft notice and i joined the army where it is. so 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? got them on a plane, they dropped us off somewhere in england. then we rode a bus for around 9 hours, as 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 so 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. oh, those who are further down the list who stayed as school is though, are there any who served in the military among those 180 recruits? one they were to 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 cunning were taken to class one, a one at which most were spectacularly bad. and we had instructors from sweden, a gear country. up. what exercises do you have, which it is exhibition. it's a funny thing wisely. 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 over 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 those. 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 learned to use british rifles and a k 40 sevens and the n law grenade launcher. got from. what did you should the and law not? i'm even thought what i thought we had copies. nobody would give us real launchers, google has done what kind of training did you expect, nor we expected more actual 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. 2 of 330 of us joined one squadron. when from what i understood, they sent us to a squadron that suffered heavy losses of the c. o will noted 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 is higher up. maybe somebody wanted to present himself in a better way. more people threatened each other. threatened yes. why? because o bites. and somebody wouldn't like the other person pointing at something. why are you doing this? i'll cut off your fingers like, what do you mean like that? the other person pointing at something or, for example, conflicts along the lines of, i put a base somewhere and you put it somewhere else. why conflict and the conflict. rage

is on the way 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 who 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 which is why renewable? there was nowhere 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. oh, 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 and never returned. then 2 of us were killed in a strike. the other one was killed when he tried to move back, and so i was left injured and alone. after a little time, i heard the cause to surrender. it fitted. i raised my hands and that's it. it's hardly this man's fool that swedish instructors failed to turn him a handyman into an affected 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. so this is what if you are mobilized again, those wooldridge orders are if they will tighten me with jail. i'll refuse to the

the commanders. let me down. i left on my own from ongoing slovakia as coalition government as low stay no confidence vote. following monks of political crisis, as after the opposition accused of failing to cope with high energy costs and sky rocketing inflation. that's cross live to i think contributor way to monson a for more on this way to get to see you. so tell us what lead to this vote in one shape? does this now leave? the government said, well it looks like the longer the conflict in ukraine drags on the higher the chance of key if chain regime changing its own allies, right, other power. so here's what just happened in slovakia, the center right, freedom and solidarity party withdrew from the governing coalition of the prime minister. also center right. last september. now that seems center right, ally of the center right? prime minister edward hugger is also the party that just tabled and won this non

confidence vote which succeeded due to the leftist opposition pushing it over the line. quite a stunning case of cooperation between ideological opponents on the right and the left to oust the current government. so what was so bad that they all wanted to do that well, despite their opposing ideologies, both sides seemed to agree on one thing that the prime minister edward harker wasn't doing enough for the average person amid the energy and cost of living crisis, sparked by the european union's anti russian sanctions. now over the summer, the prime minister seen as very much pro western, made it clear that supporting neighboring ukraine was top of his mind. the portal craig, they must win, will support them with the human adriana, but also military because they defending themselves ukrainian present virus. zalinski even made

a point of thanking slovakia for its support earlier this month. but the opposition has been growing increasingly skeptical about continuing to supply weapons to ukraine. remember, slovakia and journey cut that deal over the summer for slovakia to give up some of its soviet era tanks to ukraine in exchange for some german leopard tanks to replace them. but fueling the conflict rather than pushing for a trip to the negotiating table, is not without consequence for the slovak in people, not only as the country dealing with refugees coming over from ukraine, right next door. but it's also contending with an inflation rate of 15.4 per cent a to decade. record high, a 2.6 percent cut in industrial production and an 18 percent drop in electricity consumption by businesses. the results of higher energy prices. so businesses and citizens of slovakia look over to hungry which listen to whatever the you says

about anti russian sanctions and then cuts new energy deals with russia anyway. and you could imagine that they might be tempted to compare their government's policies and management with hungary and unfavorably. so now the chairman of the party that triggered than on confidence vote certainly sounds like he's pretty fed up with the direction of the government's been taking. the country since the onset of the conflict in ukraine for half a year, we have witness constant chaos and an unacceptable style of governance. this government does not deserve our trust. now elections aren't set until 2024, and 2 thirds of parliament would need to vote to trigger that any time before. now in the meantime, this lackey and president can decide to either let hoggard continue in a limited capacity as prime minister, which would make him a lame duck ultimately. or she can decide to give someone else

a shot at governing. but that person could also lack sufficient parliamentary confidence to get anything done. now in the mean time, it looks like political gridlock for one of keys. biggest allies leaving a big question mark over the future of that support. amid the political instability that it's generating for one of its best friends. right, so many thanks to those details that i thought they contribute to racial moss in the you have to talk to the 9th round of sanctions against russia, targeting the countries, financial and energy. sex is exports, root sounds, media outlets. new restrictions are being opposed on shipments. of deal use goods and technology and export ban on all products relevant to the ation and space industries has also been introduced. anthony restrictions include the suspension of e u, broadcasting licenses of for russian media outlets. holden's prime minister isn't quite happy with the sanctions though, as he's been pushing for them to be much honda on moscow,

the politician has even claimed that brussels is full of russian agents who are lobbying the kremlin interests. this comes and made revelations that some european countries are apparently by passing that own sanctions on russian feel impulse and some 50 percent of gas delivered to austria through turkey, or india is said to have come from russia as not scuffed. these developments with dutch ticket economist on publisher, i co, hama many thanks for joining in the program. it's nice to see it today. and so what do you make of this 9th package of e u sanctions? i want senate for that, you are pins themselves. what i make on this new package. so sanctions is pretty much in the line with all the other ones that come to us politics against the european people. and i'm always questioning why all the european bureaucrats doing that. because otherwise, you would think that the paragraphs are committing high treason against european

people. and there are very few arguments in my point of view, not to believe in this because all the sanctions are not hitting russia. that's hard, especially hitting germany. and that's your be part center of industry. and so the european commission, even though it is hostile against russia, but everything is in the line and in the benefit of the us. and what we are seeing from the sanction is that the only benefit of this sanction of the sanctions is the us in this new thing. they are very keen on not having a media that spreads out some information. so the us must be very, very scared of some information about to come out. and so they want to, they try very hard with the same to, to get the media monopoly and to get the monopoly on the brains of the people. but

the sanction won't work, what percentage will do is they will, from the crush, the german and that's the europe be economy, especially the industry and where they will end the european project because there's nothing else about the plan re union against germany. and if they have nothing to planner anymore, it's done. so here we are. 9 packages will be you sanctions late. it doesn't look like those measures are actually working a toll. how many is it going to take to have an impact as i am working against for a favor of what they told us, what they should do, what they are working except the in alliance with the agenda 2030 for the great reset, as close swap and his will be forum, puppies, or people gave it to destruction of the industry that we have is the destruction of the middle in the western hemisphere. and that's,

it's the destruction of the power of the western hemisphere. and they really have no clue on how to build better. they're always here is that the oligarchy who are forming this world economic forum, club, se, into power and vicious. right? in my opinion, the reason why they're doing this, but the bureaucrats are acting in behalf of these people more than they are. i think in behalf of the european people. so this is the big, big plan of health destruction. and everybody in the world is just shaking their head and thinking, what are they doing? what is their secret plan or something? no, that is not. it is just a big, big match. what they are doing. some, some interesting comments from the polio prime minister, though, who was a reaction, who claims that russian agents are lobbying, the criminal interests in brussels. the polish have many problems. they stuck to the emergence, very americans, very firmly. they wanted to be

a bought our country build up by them are, i think as a big fan against the rush are getting the most subsidies out of europe and so on. but they are the country that has a very strong, a great every culture. and with the sanction they now feel that they own every culture is going down the drain and the european economy is going down the drain. the subsidies won't come anymore in this sense. so poland is now facing that they are one of the losers. they probably already lost a couple of soldiers in this war because room or say that tens of thousands of polish soldiers are involved in the training conflict and died already. so a poland is probably rethinking its role and, and getting it back to us just use them and they just leave them aside whenever it is not suitable for the us anymore. the us don't care on their so called friends, they have no friends,

they have just interests and the interest they, they cover and the, the european bureaucrats are there for getting the american interest in the world and not for anything else. in my opinion, many thanks for speaking to us today. it was great to get your inside with the speaking to touch economist on publishing ica, hama, thank you. thank you. we're some president vladimir putin has held a phone call with the indian prime minister to discuss the 2 countries bilateral relationship and in case trade and energy cooperation stays on to the russian foreign ministry called reports that movie had refused to meet personal, simple quote, misunderstanding on the window and sharma has more listen, thought is the 1st telephone conversation of between the prime minister into more di and president vladimir putin of visio for the 1st time. they spoke on 24th of february when the conflict had begun. after that, twice in march, shaw,

then on 1st of july, and then to the 16th of december. but to this conversation, in fact, as a follow up over there in person meeting, which happened on the side lines of the se, will submit in a sub arcada are now as far as the indian read out is concerned. it sees that prime minister no more. the briefed president dub law, the mayor fulton on india's ongoing presidency of g 20, highlighting the key priorities for india are, but also look to afford to both countries a walking to the other during india elza ship of the if you are also as far as the to lead those are concerned the reviewed are there'd bilateral relationship on several respects. saw of the p 3 key areas being of course are feed a no g as well as our defense saw our but it's interesting because this news, arkansas diaz, offshore rough. they were talk so feminist in a range of more, the not traveling to was for the c o for the and was in the,

are russia from it. and of course, so in that sense, this conversation becomes very important, very critical of the 2 leaders. in fact, have agreed to remain in regular touch. china has accused the us of engaging and quote, economic coercion, anti bullying after the white house blacklisted more than 20 chinese kid chip industry players. the embargo builds on sweeping export controls, impose in october to try and slow beijing's technological advances, including measures to cope access to us, chip making tools, and the cut it off from micro chips made globally with american equipment. it comes with congress proposed to finalize legislation barring the u. s. government from buying products that contains semiconductors, made by chinese manufacturers. washington is reported to have implemented the ban out of security interests, which would lead to the u. s. denying china access to advance technologies,

attentions can days off the chinese food to the us at the world trade organization of a chip export controls. well that's cross live to university of boston, department of politics like to pack none. wong nominee, thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you this friday. so china on monday, sued washington through the world trade organization over export controls on micro chip. and now this does this suggest that washington has no regard for fair trade? china, by sewing washington d. c to the roach i organization is to international allies. this dispute with united states and attempted to expose the union electro and the ruling intention of the universe. days in which d u. s. actually now is very clearly that they want to economically contain china.

washington has claimed it's acting out of national security concerns that they have a point here and look about possibly have to do with international trade rules. well, i think washington d. c has been consistently funded their position and policy. all national security concern is so we have to understand what is the part that i misplaced and has been thinking about. and now i think it is becoming clearer and clearer to the international community that the national security concern that the biden is thinking about a is a kind of risk, which is we call it just in case we've, which has not been happening. and there's no evidence but because of just in case, so they decided to implement all these kind of defensive measures, including a spot control sanctions one respect, month and these up and,

and so and so forth. and also law enforcement against expo nice activities. and these are put into us on the defensive side so far. i think the, the way forward as we see, we're trying to what, what time has some support for the case in the w t old is to internationalize it, but actually also put china in the open 6 sigh. and because china has been investing a huge amount of money continuously trying to create and so the thing is on a pride chain within the country. and we've and i think this now to go into the p p. o and all the potential international organization will see a kind of continuous roll over and see if you think washington d c. and what kind of response do you expect from beijing? do you think that will be an equivalent move against the u. s. a? well, they will be, continue escalation,

all often see it moves 5 aging and i think the chinese problem of we just stop, stop investing money in the semiconductor industry and they would look some more. yeah. now the tricky situation is the high end the most high, and so we conduct the user story. obviously has been slowed down by the u. s. measures, but red. i'm the rain from the wrong look site paging. starting to enlarge and even low. it's also the stabilize the kind of family and literally assembly called the the eventually to support the high end assembly from the multipoint advisement. so this is, this is not we'll have to see what will happen deserve is might say that washington is big to suppress chinese economic growth are becoming more and more evident. if that is the case, how. * nasty, can you see this getting in?

do you think we'll see other countries dragged into it? well this way, countries who are being dragged into it, for example, because of the u. s. and expect control measures. it has already impacted on countries who has been supplying semiconductors to china, including for example, solve korea and taiwan. this tool semiconductor powers. my, my, my understanding that is that sole and ty paid they would have to negotiate with the us in what ways and to what extent the control we should be. we negotiate a so that it would not significant the impact on the south korean and taiwanese industries, but also because a lot of europeans and even british technology firms also have
