a with, with with a terror attack on russia, humanitarian office, and the central african republic leaves the head of the mission seriously wounded after a powerful bomb explodes in his hands. the u. s. manufacture down supplied drones, used by ukraine in recent strength on russian territory. that's according to arti source is familiar with the russian. indian leaders discuss bilateral times over the phone following media. rumors that the indian p. m. back to town to the meeting with vladimir putin, which the kremlin dismissed at a misunderstanding with

a very warm welcome. you're watching auntie international with the very latest news that date is good to have with the head of russia's humanitarian mission. and the central african republic is being treated in hospital and thought that he was heavily wounded by a parcel. but we've obtained this exclusive footage from the crime scene where local investigators, the now sifting through forensic evidence the african republics police have called the incident a tower attack. the russian humanitarian official opened the explosive package right in his office. moscow foreign ministry has condemned the attack. we strongly condemn this criminal act, which is clearly aims against the activities of the russian house in bungie and more broadly aggressive successful development on friendly relations between our 2 countries. images from the office also show a note left on the table. it's written in russian unsafe. this is for you from all

the french or paris has denied allegations of involvement in the bombing, where she, businessmen, and co founder of the walk in the military group. can you play goshen say this? no, it came with the package, and that goes similar threats. in the past. on november 11th, dmitri city received a package from togo with a 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 to day, he got another package. despite all the instructions for observing security measures. dmitri city, being in an emotional state, open to the parcel. there was an explosion before losing consciousness. dmitri city 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 mr. pre goshen has her as lobby russian foreign ministry to launch an investigation

into this particular incident. but he also both further to say that he would like to see france in particular being declared as faith. one 3rd of hara by the russian federation. from what we do know, the parcel itself was sent from lo, may the capital city of togo. 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 out of myself in whose interest it would be to carry out this kind of attack. and what we do know is that mister 13 to me, 330, 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

republics authorities, as well as the many rebel groups in that country. the country itself has really been in the midst of, of instability since the civil war vent. okay. in 2019, despite the former colonizer runs, deploying some 1600 troops to that country, to restore peace and stabilize some of the conflicts we have seen in that region that has been systematically. and over a long period of time, tensions 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 fight. 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. the administrator

of the russian humanitarian mission and the central african republic is called the bombing, an attempt to hinder piece making efforts in the country spices. if i seem to find bonuses, there isn't any good in what happened. i know dmitri, he works for the benefit of peace in the central african republic. he works around the clock for the betterment of our society, those who want to bring chaos and make our country vulnerable, do everything to stop our society achieving peace locals. no, dmitri, everybody knows him. people ask us how dmitri feels, and i can assure you that our hearts and thoughts are now with him. we hope he gets better soon. we need his help in our work to bring peace to the country. we hope state and law enforcement will conduct a proper investigation and punish those responsible for the attack. these people are enemies of the central african republic. we count on our government and those very to a sisters to paved the way for peace. many thanks to those who have been asking about demetrius condition, look,

we hope he will recover as soon as possible. thank you. the the u. s. produced and supplied jones used by ukraine to target russian infrastructure. that's according to r t. so says the revelation flies in the face of washington's claims that his weapons supplied keith had not been used to bomb sites in 5 russia. it's been determined that the ab onyx and control stations of the drones were manufactured by american company scepter works, which performed their initial calibration and testing at scottsdale airport. and arizona analysis of the electronic units of intercept drones showed that the ukrainian military also used these u a. these 2 attack infrastructure facilities in the cell. stop all, as well as the belgrade curse can, veronica regions, or the other side of it is the fact that poland is involved in this. because according to the information that we found from these sources that folks who are,

who are familiar with the matter, they claim that the final assembly, as well as flight test, took part in, in poland, in the of there are so airports of which of course has been is used by the u. s. a . need. so as the main supply hub for ukraine's armed forces. and they also said that the installation of payload, for example, the flight mission and the launch itself, or carried out from odessa and also crew boy rog, which is in central ukraine. and this is what is now being shown as proof of the direct involvement of the us as well as poland and receive the military help on the hacks that also took place, not only in ukraine, but also on russian soil. has been any explanation regarding the timing of the revelation. well, the priming. this is what sensitive because we've seen an escalation of drone attacks in recent weeks in particular, in several supple. so naturally, russia had experts looking into these attacks as well as what they recovered. some

of the intercepted drones and that's when they started doing all the investigatory work, and this is what they found. and also, let's not forget that this comes after a russian foreign ministry war in time and time again, that if we see any information, for example, the us providing a longer range met files, then that would be tossing a red line. we already know there's so many weapons that the west supplies already bought. there were some red lines that rossa kept warning time and time again. do not cross this red line would not want to see us involvement in this. we call in the united states and its allies not to cross the red lines. they have approached stop pumping, the kiev regime, with leaf alarms. it will only lead to new victims and destruction as well as further prolonging the conflict. like you just said, washington has repeatedly denied any direct involvement in the ukraine. conflicts who claim that it doesn't want to supply care with weapons that could be used to

potentially hit targets inside russia. so how does that into those claims now? well, those claims look silly. really because according to this information that we received, this is what we're talking about. that the fact that the last was supplying drones that were not only created in the united states, but there was refitted in poland and there were flight tests as well. being carried out and then we saw them attacks on russian soil and also let's not forget what the united states always say is that these are defense of weapons. this is how they justified. so we have not provided ukraine with weapons that is to use inside of russia. we've been very clear that these are defensive slice. we are, the president said very clearly some time ago. we are not enabling ukraine to strike behind beyond its borders. and this is the hypocrisy that russia is talking about time and time again. we've seen that for months, for example, there were

a sions that iran is supply in russia, military withdrawal, something both sides have denied. but if we even take that as an example, so in that case, iran, for example, is party to the military operation. it needs to be sanctioned even more. but in this case, where we see involvement involving poland and the was here, it's only in terms of defense, we're only sending, it's ukraine, so can defend itself. we're not party to the conflict, which is something that russia said that would be crossing a red line or this is exactly that. so why should it be in the wrong case? for example, if that's what they believe and iran needs to be sanctioned. in this case, for what should happen to the us. once again, we're seeing double standards from their own evidence, their own examples. independent journalists, mike jones sees the u. s. and poland could be complicit in the killing of civilians by ukraine. any one who has been following as the conflict,

even only in the western media light, we'll see how it's apparent how the west is tripping up over its own lies. i'm not surprised by the allegation of poland assistance. we've had it reported even in western media about a polish mercenaries who are tragically getting caught up in this and having to be buried in large cemeteries in poland when it comes to the united states. it's almost an ongoing farcical pantomime as we hear from john kirby and antony blinking . both i believe on record saying we neither enabled or nor encouraged you trying to strike the on his borders. and yeah, i believe, as i recall m triple 7. how it says i have participate in such tax on one, such as belgrade we have in says on the ground of the white house, claiming that they oversee the targeting of targets 1st and they give the green light. and yet, i've been on the ground in goal of cur theater, where high mars struck,

and people there could not explain to me how these 2 claimed realities can exist in the same paradigm. and same world, russian president vladimir payton, has held a phone call with the indian prime minister to discuss the 2 countries bilateral relationship, including trade and energy cooperation. as days after the russian foreign ministry called reports that mode has refused to me to, to the simple quote, misunderstanding ortiz at region sharma has more though some thought to is a serious telephone conversation of between the prime minister into more the antecedent. vladimir putin visio for the 1st time. they spoke on 24th of february when the conflict had begun after that twice in march, off then on 1st of july, and then to the 16th of december. but to this conversation, in fact, as a follow up, all of their raf in person meeting, which happened on the side lines of the se, will summit in a summer gunther are now as far as the indian beat out is concerned. it seems that

prime minister nodding to more debriefed, president w, 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 2 leaders are concerned, they reviewed our there'd bilateral relationship on several a spec saw of the p 3 key areas being god of course are feed a no g as well as our defense saw our. but it's interesting because this news, arkansas diaz after rock, they were talk so feminist entered into more the not traveling to moscow. the c o for the ad 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.

peruse, military has been accused of using extreme violence to suppress protests against the ousting of eggs. president pedro castillo, a country official human rights organization has claimed that the military youth helicopters to shoot protesters and joke, tear gas bombs on them, and theirs on verified to images, you can see what appears to be an army helicopter. opening fire on demonstrations, military has yet to respond to the accusations. data by was a was sworn in as we knew presidents last week off the ex president castillo, who faced a series of corruption probes, was removed on impeachment close by congress. the us ambassador cheaper was praised the country's new lead is on her social media, social network account, running them democrats. i met with president bush watch to reiterate the u. s. commitment to the defense of democracy and respect for institutions together with the peruvian precedent on the unity government. this promise to form,

we hope to strengthen all bilateral relationship. the statement was really submit a 2nd week of protest social countries. new leaders announced a 30 day state of national emergency. let's take a look at how the turmoil improve has been unfolding. ah, with both the situation was reportedly destabilize, shortly after the u. s. ambassador to per room at the country's defense minister

who was apparently one of the military lead is responsible for castillo ouster. well, let's take a look at that ambassadors background according to the us state department website . she previously worked for the c i a, that's america's intelligence. service in washington. the 3rd discuss this further now with, i guess, with the independent journalist been north in many thanks for joining us on the program. nice to see now, the usaa ambassador to peru, a veteran cia agent named lisa cannon, right, turns out appear to have met the peruvian defense minister the day before petro costio was removed from office. what's your take on that? was it a mere coincidence or suggestion of washington's involvement? well, anyone in latin america knows that, you know, united states is a very long history of organizing and supporting cruise data across the region. very famous examples include the caea, who that overthrew guatemala elected president. couple ottomans back in 1954. there's also the famous ca,

who and she lay against everybody in the democratically elected president. in 1973, we have all of the historical document proving that this ca was involved in organizing those who is of course, more recent crews. we've seen that the u. s. government has supported them. we don't have concrete evidence yet showing conclusively that the ca organize them. but it certainly does raise an eyebrow to see that a t i a officer who is now the us ambassador to peru and as they say in the u. s, there's really no such thing as a former agent, really. i mean they continue much of their same work just as the former head of the state department in mike pale was also director of the ca. the point, any way is that the us ambassador grew the former agent. he met with the defense minister one day before the congressional who against pedro castillo. and on the day of the who, the defense minister was above you, published a video in which he encouraged the military to go again. the democratically elected

president castillo. now there's been a lot of misleading claims in western media outlets spread by western governments, trying to accuse castillo himself of the crew, which is really blaming the victim of the coo. and it's similar to the coo and 2019 against even morales. the democratically elected president of bolivia, that was another example of a coup against a democratically elected leader sponsored by the united states. so, you know, there are so many examples throughout history in latin america of the u. s. sponsoring who this isn't really surprising people, and it's certainly not surprising the people of peru who have flooded the streets in protests against the regime and in support of the elected president kasteel, who has been in prison without trial. what is interesting, how the us ambassador temporarily through canada, he served in the c, i missed the decade. but this is this, absent this information for most of the bio they including her page on the u. s embassy website. why do you think that is?

well, it's a pretty clear that the u. s. embassy did not want to highlight the fact that it's in bassett or in pru previously worked for this year. because again, it's widely known in circles in washington that many people who work for the ca, if they leave, they continue working with different capacities, especially for talking about the state department. increasingly it's become obvious that the us state department and a are joined to hit the fact that the former director of the state department and former theat director is the same person, make some peo is very relevant. also the fact that today, who is the spokesman of the us state department, his name is ned price. he is also a former agent and scare quotes. so the reality is that many people around the world know that the u. s. embassy is used to organize schools and it's used for intelligence and spying operations, and in latin america, there is a joke that you often hear people say, they say, why is that as they're never been

a qu in washington? and the answer is because there's no u. s embassy in washington. and the previous military as they were forcing opposed to be using extreme violence to try and crush the protests. washington caused this democracy. what do you make of washington's interests in this situation? well, peru has consistently been one of the most loyal countries in latin america. most of the governments in the region are run by less wing political parties. and some of them are revolutionaries and anti imperialist, to give speeches against us imperialism in the case of peru, it has never had a left mean government and the right wing oligarchy, that controls peruvian politics is very loyal to the united states. in fact, many of the right wing oligarchy in peru have dual passports with other countries, like the united states or european countries. so the fact that peru was governed by a left wing labor organizer paid through castillo,

who was loyal to the working class. and who was working with other progressive forces in the region to try to unite latin america talking about creating a new currency, challenging usa gemini, and a region that the u. s. calls it so called back yard for washington. of course, that's very ang that infuriates washington. and then there's also the economic reasons. peru has large mineral reserves, and there's a lot of foreign corporations that are trying to mine through is minerals and federal castillo as a nationalist. he has been and speaking out against the u. s. in european multinational corporations who also has energy reserves. so it's a typical example in latin america. there are dozens of examples throughout history, where the working class of the region poor and working people, they elect a progressive left coming leader who represents their economic interests, who is then overthrown by the elite oligarchy, inch interests backed by the u. s. there,

there are literally dozens of examples and pretty much every country and latin america. the people of the region are unfortunately very used to it. but that's again why i think we see such a large protests in peru because the majority of people improve, especially in the working areas in the rural areas that have indigenous descent populations who support their president castillo. they under. yes, very clearly. what's going on. this is an undemocratic who against a democratically elected leader, lead by a lead right wing oligarchy, multi millionaires and corporations, with the backing of foreign powers, especially the u. s. and also canada, which is backing to i did an outsider looking in might be asking how composed congress, which in september this year had a may 70 percent approval, rating remains empower while at democratic at democratically elected president is thrown behind boss. well, this is what's incredible is that the u. s. government and many a corporate media outlets claim falsely that pedro castillo is trying to be

a so called dictator. because he was trying to prevent an undemocratic who by an unpopular corrupt congress against the elected president. in reality, we see that now there actually is a dictatorship improve the current leader, the level to what they alecia leader on paper. she was not elected. she never participated in a presidential election and she's working with a corrupt congress that has 70 percent approval. we have leaks videos proving that congress members were working with the oligarchy to try to bribe congress people to vote along with them. so there's no democratic mandate for this congress. that's why people and crew and prove, are in the streets, protesting and what their demands. one of their main demands is that pedro castillo will be freed. he's been in prison for 18 months now. he's been sentenced to 18 months in prison, with no trial, with no due process with no civil liberties. furthermore, they are also demanding new elections of the congress and most important of all

their calling for a new constitution because the current constitution and pru was inherited by a dictatorship, a far right dictatorship led by the former dictator over to full. he morty, who was also supported by the us government. so it's incredible for people in latin america. i live in the region for people in latin america when they hear the u. s. government talk about democracy. it is just, it's beyond farcical. it's beyond hypocritical, because every dictatorship in latin america has been supported from washed by washington. on the night, independent jennings spend notes in many thanks to speaking to us a day spent great haven't going to say thank you. thanks for having me. havoc he has coalition, government has lost a no confidence vouch. following months of political crisis, i found the position accused of failing to cut with high energy costs and sky rocketing inflation. countries highest in 2 decades, i'll say contributes a racial most and has the story. well,

it looks like the longer the conflict in ukraine drags on the higher the chance of key regime changing its own allies right out of 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 sent her 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. busy piano unions,

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. will support ukraine. 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 it weapons to ukraine. remember slovakia and journey at 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 slovakian 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 percent

a to decade record high. a 2.6 percent cut in industrial production and an 18 percent drop in electricity consumption by businesses the result 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 hungers 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, the slacking president can decide to either let hoggard continue in a limited capacity as prime minister, which should make him a lame duck ultimately. or she can decide to give some one 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 keith's biggest allies, leaving a big question mark over the future. that support amid the political instability that it's generating for one of its best friends. here is he to assess our relations with russia. that's why turkey as president is asking as a slums. the use foreign policy chain for questioning gang chorus 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, which is due on lashed out to the u official while speaking to report is on his return from a trip to took many st. on, i think that years the barrel has no right to try and, and to fit in relations between encore and moscow. on also on the line to diplomatic protocol, stressing that burrell should only be addressing foreign ministers and not presidents like the turkish leda. we discussed the story story with l, if it sets it has such a low glue, a foreign news added to it took his hobbit tv. when you have been to the, when you had the hierarchy between the international, in addition, you know that a more of like the cheese would not actually recur forth tool or initiate any kind of news about the position of the president. the end of the day. this is

going to be the position off the coordination. so if church t once they go on and be alive, everyone you know, find a needle place in which you've tried to do long while now and will continue to do it is going to happen for he did. in fact, initiate writing did in fact try to become a great with the rough and russia, the less than the eat. because he actually didn't mean to what the hell trick your regime cover me about it here. thanks for joining us. they are not the international web back to the top with

.
