11:02 am
the attack. we strongly condemn this criminal act, which is clearly aims against the activities of the russian housing bungie and more broadly against the successful developmental friendly relations between our 2 countries. from what we do know, the puzzle if was sent from lo, may the capital city of tow, it was also delivered by the h l. this is what we understand from our reliable sources on the ground in, in central african republic. but i thought it was very interesting, the statement that emanated from the russian foreign ministry, and as myself, in whose interest it would be to carry out this kind of a tag. and what we do know is that mr. city dmitri city, that is, has long been in the central african republic and from about 2019, he has been a moderator in the conflict. the ongoing conflict between the central african
11:03 am
republics authorities, as well as the many reb. busy groups in that country, the country itself has really been in the midst of, of instability since the civil war veteran occurred in 2019, despite the former colonizer france, deploying some 1600 troops to that country, to restore peace and stabilize some of the conflicts we have seen in that region there has been systematically and over a long period of time, tension between north and south which have led to some of the conflicts that we have seen. and the area itself that the central african republic is around the sa hell region, which has really been dealing with insurgency for the better part of the decade. and it remains a political and conflict hot bed in the african region. we also heard from
11:04 am
russian business men and co founder of the private military company, wagner group, who apportion blame to france. on november 11th, dmitri city received a package from togo, the photograph of a 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. among other things that we know is that something gosh, and has, has lobby, the russian foreign ministry to launch an investigation into this particular
11:05 am
incident. but he also goes further to say that he would like to see front, in particular, being declared as being one of para by the russian federation will take you to needs from ukraine. now, where key of phase emergency power outages will be imposed across the country. the latest series of strong on its energy facilities earlier than as of kids on talk on both reports of explosions that last was ahead and zap rosier and the death of regions with a death as governor saying local infrastructure has been damaged. dozens of cruise missiles were reported to be fired into ukraine by the russian military, which is yet to make an official statement on fridays as strikes will. meanwhile, the u. s. is said to expand the training of ukrainian troops as washington plans to prepare $500.00 soldiers per month as a base in germany. now since april nato was trying to run $15000.00 ukrainians.
11:06 am
ortiz ecos on, i've interviewed a ukrainian prison of war, who said he was trained in the u. k. and we should warn you that his claims have not been independent. 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 broad 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 moves one or will. in september, they called me to, but it, i got a draft notice and i joined the army where it is 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
11:07 am
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 north, but after 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 state 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 cunning were taken to class one, a one at which most were spectacularly bad,
11:08 am
and we had instructors from sweden, etc. a country of what exercises did you have, which it is exhibition. it's a funny thing was in for 2 days, they taught us how to hold the weapon. if as you say, none of the 100 day de recruits had ever held weapons in their hands. maybe that was the right thing to do is to put out them would have fucked. and the instructors were shocked. i worked with wood and the others worked in i, it's here 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 war, then, the tactics of movement. what machinery did you learn to use? no machinery, no law store quarter. we only learned to use british rifles and a k 40 sevens and the end law grenade launcher. did you should the and law not on
11:09 am
the mid thought that i thought we had copies? nobody would give us real launchers, google as done. what kind of training did you expect, or if we expected more actual from here, 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 of her 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 was higher up. maybe somebody wanted to present himself in a better way. people threatened each other threatens. yes. why?
11:10 am
because oh 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 to 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 conflict and the conflict rage is on that? we have 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 bus is drastically different from the grill site simulations, which used her 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,
11:11 am
which is why when your bill there was nowhere to use them. we went forward and 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. well, 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, said 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 calls to surrender and fitted. i raised my hands, and that's it. it's hardly this man's fool that swedish instruct has failed to turn him a handyman into an affected fighter within
11:12 am
a month's time. but at least he was lucky to keep his life and learn his lesson. you're, when i return home, i won't go to war any more. so this is what if you are mobilized again, those warriors totals or if they will die in me with jail, i'll refuse to remove the commanders. let me down. i left on my own remembering who is he to assess our relations with russia, with respect to functions, the turkish president slums, close in ugly statement by the u. s. foreign policy chief on anchorage ties with moscow. it's an ugly statement. burrell can't define and formalize our relations with russia. she has neither the qualifications nor the ability to make such decisions. who is he to assess our relations with russia, with respect to sanctions? where deborah, do i lost his attack while speaking to reporters on his return from a trip to turkmenistan, i think that foreign policy chief morale had no vine, no right to try and interfere in relations between encore and moscow. he also on
11:13 am
the lines diplomatic protocol stressing that burrell should only be addressing minister of foreign affairs, not presidents. while we're joined now by elephant as sati, oakley foreign news editor at the hey, but t v. many thanks for joining on a program. nice to see to day, what do you make of are the ones recent statement, criticising burrell? he didn't hold back today. thank you so much for having made the key. let's start by saying that actually there's nothing to make out of rather than other than what he said, because president remarks are actually the highlights of mama to kyra. when you look at going to mom be when you will have to hire a key between the international institutions. you know that a portal was the chief would not actually refer or talk to or initiate any kind of movement about the position of the president present. and on have
11:14 am
highlighted the situation and he said that he should, so the other foreign minister who is the equal to him from before a minister may be chose. sure, this is not something that as that has something in between the lines, it is what it is, this is that higher i q between lead is the people who are in the realm of be as you is an important institution. but it also has its levels as well. so don, has had these kind of musicians such as being allies with a country or being alive because petition is right for her nation. when this is not an issue that a foreign was see, she could make a comment. so this is just some kind of a cold war mentality would be you disregarding the interests of sovereign nations? well, you is an institution e, as i had before,
11:15 am
and rather than paying the school where i'd say that this is a mental institution and it doesn't high and it's not about it is not going to help to repeat is not willing to stop russia. it's not going to help the other country can be you. so taking their whole work about resolution, the facts may be a think me, you know, for a lot of stuff, maybe a, maybe a profess between russia and ukraine. and the problem, you know, the un rain, korean, or in contributed with the initiation side on the president present as well as well as i'm doing it with her as well. so this kind of initiation will continue and been policy of the other people or other institutions. of course, they will come to the edge and they'll be policy. we will talk about them. but at the end of the day, this is going to be the position off the cobra nation. so if you're t one,
11:16 am
they go on and be alive with everyone you know, find a needle place in which he's trying to do or else while now. and we'll continue to do it is going to happen. at the situation ukraine seems to have had a ripple effect and affected relationships across the world. do you feel like the ukraine situation has changed? turkey has relationship with the freely not in one. perfect. i mean, i got what's the new from and i got that it could look like this, but let's remember prisons. i don't to me, mark because you so sad that this kind of offensive tool actually come in to good words because he did, in fact, initiate the brain deal did in fact try to become a bridge between direct and russia. the less than the east. because the actually
11:17 am
didn't mean the one thing. so the 10 trick you raise your cover about it here. so i do not think that it is. it has the fact that the relationship because you continue to be in the middle of the try to find a middle ground. of course that will be put problem the but the diploma the way of 30 and may 30 i can say that turkey foreign policies about trying to solve problems topic by topic. we're not going to forget to do the threat . those problems around it rather than that, like with the rush you have, i'd wait, you have disagreements and you have to find the middle ground because burke and if something ok, if i knew that it's a habit tv many thanks for joining us on the show. really appreciate that. thanks. it's the russian president, vladimir putin has held a phone call with the indian formula there to discuss the 2 countries bilateral
11:18 am
relationship, including trade and energy cooperation. i can stay on to be russian foreign ministry called reports that moody had refused to me person. i simple quote, misunderstanding i teach. when jan sharma has more though some thought to is assist telephone, a 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 than on 1st of july, and then to the 16th of december, but to the conversation in fact, as a follow up of their raft in person meeting, which happened on the side lines of the se. will summit in a summer camp are now as far as the indian read out is concerned, are it sees that prime minister nodding to more debriefed, president dub law, the mayor fulton on india's ongoing presidency of g 20, highlighting the key priorities for india are, but also looked to are forward to both countries,
11:19 am
a walking to the other during india, off share ship, all of the if you are also, as far as the 2 leaders are concerned, they reviewed our there'd bilateral relationship on several respect. saw the p tweaky ears being of course, our trade a no g, as well as our defense saw our but it's interesting because this news, arkansas diaz after a rough, they were talk so feminist intervene, grew more the not traveling to was for the c o for the annual 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. us markets have been shocked by the federal reserve decisions who further increase interest rates made escalating phase of inflation and recession. while the central bank claims is trying to stabilize the economy is chief,
11:20 am
has admitted. there's no telling if the measures will actually work. i don't think anyone knows whether we're going to have a recession or not. and if we do, whether it's going to be a deep one or not, we understand the hardship that high inflation is causing. and that we are strongly committed to bringing inflation back down to our 2 percent goal. what we're doing now is, you know, it's raising interest rates for people and so people are paying higher rates on mortgages and that kind of thing. i wish there were a completely painless way to restore price stability. there isn't, and this is the best we can do. the u. s. inflation rate is measured by the so called consumer price index, but the method approach has raised many questions. originally the index was based on the price of a fixed basket of goods. however, us congress then changed the calculation of the c p. i to reflect the average cost of living instead, critic say this method gives washington an excuse to down play the real inflation
11:21 am
rate in the country. let's find out more, shall we, less close live to auto contributes. a chris and chris levy to see this friday. so the current us inflation rate is 7 point one percent. but if we take into account this consumer price index control the say, how trustworthy is this data? that's a really good question. nicky. well really probably to break it down to people at home, we should probably explain what this. so the consumer price index is. so essentially, this is if you'd like an index created by looking at different strands of what people buying in economy. so it could be everything from the price of a bottle of milk or the way to to, to you know, the price is a television or a car. so giving you an example of where the system really goes wrong is what it does. it doesn't measure as you just mentioned at the beginning, it doesn't measure a basket of goods anymore. it measures the quality of something. so give me an example. let's take a family car. so let's say you went out today and you bought a family car for
11:22 am
a $1000.00. and then next year that caused la $10000.00. but if the car manufacture brought out a new model of that car and it was now what, $10000.00, it's essentially the same car. it's just got a new model. but the index with price started as a product superior quality. and therefore, the button wouldn't move, therefore, the figures are completely off that the 1st thing, the 2nd thing which is very worrying, is that the commissioner who oversees the, the index is a political appointee. so that said he, us questionable a point, not person in order to oversee this index. now being on, i don't know, many politicians, they're going to appoint someone that's going to give them something that makes them look bad. so again, that's a bit of an issue that this c p i isn't used in other countries except the u. s. why does america use it and no one else. again, it's another really good question. the key. and the reason being, i mean, a lot of different people have different opinions, but if you want,
11:23 am
it would be because the us, you know, manages and 3 decided that was the us dollar, which is the world's global currency at this time. so you really don't want that currency to look look bad because that's going to cause a massive ripple effect that people just not trusting it anymore anyway. so by able, by creating sort of like an index or statistic or something which has a rubber stamped it gives confidence to the financial markets. even though that confidence is probably probably not not deserved. but that's really why i think they use it. well, critics would say that the cpi is an instrument for the u. s. government to manipulate the inflation rate reports. would you agree with that? yes, yes. i think i probably wouldn't the key. i mean it's a very complex subject to discuss. but yeah, i mean, if you're able to basically not project well, i would say truthful figures about your economy and then suddenly into the world. well, that just got ripple effects. and one could argue if,
11:24 am
if russia or india or even china did the same thing, that would be huge consequences in terms of criticism. but it seems, in this case, the u. s. just seems to get away with it. so the fact is not promising to reduce inflation next year, because so many americans are suffering from growing prices, but that could also lead to a growth and unemployment. so how effective is, how effective a solution is that for the us economy as many of ferrying recession, i don't think it's a very correct solution to tool, right? because in order to stabilize inflation, you have to get people to go out and buy things. if you take away someone's job though, then they're not going to be out. they want to go out and buy so many things that they talk about. the other problem to the us. that there isn't really an adequate in argue for a british perspective, an adequate welfare states. so without money, people can't pay their insurance without the insurance, they can't get access to health care. not just going to create a written, we've seen this in the us before. the night it crape massive,
11:25 am
massive problems with insights in an economy where people come in and receive medical treatment for the most basic things. so i don't think it's solve the problem until then. how realistic is the fence go to reduce inflation rate to 2 percent and how soon can it be reached if at all? yeah, another great question, nicky. i don't think it's very realistic right now. you've got a massive global apps food in energy crisis happening due to the conflict in ukraine. you've got just a u. s. political system that is fragile and fractured, which is fighting each other from well. we don't even know what left or right is any more, really there's none of that going on. so you know, unless you can stabilize the economy. and the u. s. economy is, it's the largest economy in the world in terms of, in terms of how it projects itself to the world. so in less that can be stabilized . it's going to be very, very hard to see how they can reduce inflation. so i'm reading that the, the fed zone for costs if the inflation rate will stand at 3.5 percent by the end
11:26 am
of next year, which is still an unacceptable rates. well, consequences would that have for the us economic and financial system. and of course for american households. yeah, well we're already seeing the, the, the, the ripple effects of that because they're my market reactor forecasts in general, right? so if we look at, we look at the amount of money that has been now drained out of the, the global financial system in stock, market equity, and commodity. the 3, the brief, g 2, g 2. obviously the current situation, the b b effects on the entire financial system, a master, just like me 70000 and the night if we remember in 2008 nicki, you know, that was caused by a number of us institutions going, but not, not everyone in the world was managing that economy and managing that financial system in such an a responsive way that, that caused effect for everyone. and i think we're already seeing that by just the price that things are costing for anyone in the west right now. you know,
11:27 am
we've seen that in every country, and you'll see a massive effects where we'll have inflation. because what we're looking at here looking at a micro version, but we'll tell inflation is already higher than you know, it's ever been. and particularly my generation of the, the way things are costing right now even more than 2009. so it's already happening and it's devastating. so chris, what do you personally see of the solution? yeah, good question to keep and why think that 2 ways we can solve this right now? number one, this, this fall and this, this, the mess that has been caused by the u. s. in ukraine. everyone needs to get around the shipping table as russia have offered and on continue to offer the u. s. needs to get the ukrainians around the negotiating table. and this conflict is not going to restore, you know, harmony in terms of the energy market and have the food security for the most poor, poor nations in the world, particularly in africa. that's really got to be phase one. phase 2, we were moving away now from this unit polar, well,
11:28 am
the us to stop giving us the real facts of just where their economy is, whether financial, how they couldn't fit too many us dollars or how they know, how do we know they need to stop being honest with chris many thanks for talking to us today. it's been very interesting and enlightening aut he contributed. chris ends, thanks nicki speak, say i thank you for joining us. harold asi international based friday. we're back at the top of that with a very nice with brush in the west to revive the cold war. because both recognize 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,
11:29 am
in need to come to russian state will never be unfortunately, no santini div with within the 55 with will speed anyone else with will ban in the european union? the kremlin community up machine, the state aren't russia to date and r t sport that even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube. with
