a with breaking news off, he is tall gates off. he's parent company under the late his rounds of sanctions, which includes the freeze of the company's assets in europe. her attack on russia's humanitarian office in the central african republic leaves the head of the mission . seriously wounded plus the russian indian leaders the stuff bilateral times over the phone. following media room is that the indian p. m. back south of a meeting with vladimir putin, which the criminal dismissed as a misunderstanding with

very welcome from all of our team. this is all t international with the latest world news update. it's great to have you with us that we start with breaking news as the e. u has frozen the european assets of r t by sanctioning our parent company on ot tv, nova stay. the restrictions are part of the latest and 9th round of e u sanctions against russia. this comes off the western politicians on the mainstream media, repeatedly criticized russian outlets including r, t and german as spanish french language channels for airing, while the europeans called propaganda and kremlin talking points. well, we're now joined by georgia, samuel, the senior research fellow at the global policy institute, george win. thanks for joining us on the program. i'd just like to know what you may have the latest sanctions on our teams. parent company including the freezing, abbas, is what are your thoughts?

well, it's very amusing that on this very day, a number of e, you politicians, sounding off about twitter, suspending a few journalists in the united states. they're very indignant about that. in the meantime, they're essentially outlawing a whole bunch of tv and radio networks whose only crime is that they're providing information that the e u doesn't like. of course, it's in violation of all of the international covenants that you sign in violation of the charter on the mental right. so the youth violates the treaty. but they are, they may say, well, you know, it's a propaganda. well, you know, one man news is another hands propaganda. a lot of people might think that what you get on the p c and cnn is also smacks of propaganda. so it's just just part of the

course for you and u. s. offices. so what do you think this mean this as a phrase means for the future of all see in europe? well, to be honest, i don't see t returning anytime soon. because fundamentally, the break between europe and russia is now so fundamental that it's hard to see how any kind of normality can be restored. at least we'll, we'll be able to show you maybe for the next generation. so, and of course it's a great shame because it means that the europeans don't get to hear the other side of the story. and given that is a serious conflict taking place between nato and russia, given that this conflict could easily escalate into something, even more theory is now is the most important time to get to hear the other side of the story and the you is absolutely determined to prevent europeans from hearing

this job can be read into the timing of the sanctions in any way. why is this as a freeze happening right now? well, i think it's just that there is an ongoing need to keep ratcheting up the pressure . i mean, to be honest the, you know, so the united states, they don't have anything very much going, all of them. the war isn't going particularly well for them. so they have to keep moving along the suggest that they are actually doing something. and they're somehow making a difference. the one thing that they don't want any circumstances is to see some kind of a negotiated outcome as possible that that is always will though. so you try to justify sanctions by claiming that r t spreads this information will feel take on that explanation. well,

what they call this information is information that they don't like. you know, it's a perspective that they want to deny to the european public. now, anybody look at the b, b, c's, website and go to c n, n, go to deutsch of l. f. and what do you get there? you get propaganda and you get this information. you wants to somehow suggest that that, that very one sided presentation is somehow objective and it's sort of, you know, proper information. well of course it isn't. so essentially what they call this information is just simply the information that they don't like, but doesn't contradict their take on what's going on the ukraine. so suppose you can look at this one of 2 ways. it's either about fighting so called propaganda or cracking down on media freedom. well,

of course it is striking down on media freedom, but i think what, what's so important for them is that they want to make sure that nobody gets to hear facts and the information that challenges the european nato. united, the space, interpretation of what's going on in ukraine and the origins and history of the conflict. very important, but nobody gets to hear that. instead they just hear the propaganda line, which is ukraine. god, russia bad made a wonderful and that's that they want to just keep banging it into the heads of the europeans. i mean it's no different from any kinds of people who a totalitarian state, where you just have a state propaganda mouthpiece. and everybody has to accept this true, what the propaganda spokesman declared to be true. so what's the worst that can happen? georgia, people are informed from all angles. what's the big risk here?

well, the big risk, and it's very serious ways. well, the also on the lines of the world is that people will wake up and ask, why the hello we hear. how on earth did we get ourselves into this? so ripping complex in a country that is not a member of nato, is not a member of the european union. and over an issue that has never been a matter of vital interest to europe, namely the eastern border of ukraine. how did this suddenly become an existential matter? full hundreds of millions of european. and once you ask that question, then of course, there is a danger that people are going to get angry and they go to go out into the street and you will leading us into a possible nuclear war. you are ready let us to an economic disaster. and why, why, why are we here?

and it goes that that's who the questions that also on the line and use the burrell and show me show. those are the questions that they absolutely determined to prevent people from asking. i think feel like in the past few months, i made the economic situation a few people. minority of course, are often more questions like how to be, get here. what, why do we, why, if we chosen this situation, but do you expect any western journalists to now question or even criticize this latest asset freeze? no, no, i don't think western journalist will criticize a very, you know, as i say, they're much too busy getting indignant about a handful of journal. this getting suspended by twitter completely unimportant, is absolutely trivial. dispute that they got into with isla mouth that the western journalists are very agitated in taking about, but the idea of the eventually banning broadcasting networks that's

provide a contrary view at the very moment when it is absolutely essential that we do here are gone for review before we go down the path towards nuclear compet, that's perfectly happy with they don't operate criticism just as they haven't the mainstream media have not also then the criticism of the policy of the you and the united states that has led this continent into a horrific economic met but above all into a very dangerous confrontation, the kind of compensation for decades with the leaders of tried to avoid. it's no secret that i'll take care reason alternative viewpoint slogan is question more. we always aim to bring the stories that on in the mainstream headlines. and of course that includes what's happening in ukraine and across europe right now. but the thing on west view is we'll continue watching regardless of the sanctions when i

think so, i think if people want to find out, you know, other, other information things that they have available in west media. yeah. there are, there are ways to still find out, you know, either, you know, there are channels where he is available or away still to receive the, you know, you know, all kinds of the things that you can do to play with on the internet. i don't want to spell them out and they'll be certainly people who want information, they will go and get it. but unfortunately, it means that it's very limited. who gets it? and want to also point out that there is a persecution of people who want to appear on the get invited to see if they in some countries. and now you know, could,

could find themselves in danger of legal prosecution. that's. that's another aspect that should not be the government that there's a real serious threat to anyone who wants to take take bargain off the shows that they could face. that could be legal jeopardy. well, we always appreciate your last annual time, george. thank you so much for joining us on the program. now. george sunny with a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. thank you again. thank you for a while to other news. now the head of rush of humanitarian mission in the central african republic is being treated in hospital after a powerful bomb exploded in his hands with attain this exclusive footage from the crime scene. well, i can investigate for now. 1530 forensic evidence. african republics police have called the incident a terror attack. the washing humanitarian official opens the explosive package rights in his office. most of those foreign ministry has condemned the attack. we

strongly condemn this criminal act, which is clearly aimed against activities of the russian house in bungie, and more broadly against a successful development of friendly relations between our 2 countries. images from the office also show a note left on the table is written in russian and say this is b u, from old. the french, the french foreign minister, has denied allegations of involvement in the bombing russian business man and co founder of a walk in a military grade. yes. can a pre goes in and say, this note 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, as 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 at the parcel. there was an explosion before losing consciousness. dmitri seating, 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 the things that we know is that unless somebody goshen has as lobby russian foreign ministry to launch an investigation into this particular incident. but he also goes further to say that he would like to see france in particular being declared as fades. one 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 b 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 our as myself, in whose interest it would be to carry out this kind of

a tag. and what we do know is that necessity. dimitri settee, 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 reb. busy groups in that country, the country itself has really been in the midst of, of instability since the civil war that 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, 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 sa hell region, which has really been dealing with insurgency for the better part of the decades. and it remains a political and conflict hot bed in the african region. the administrator of the russian humanitarian mission essential i from african republic is called the bombing, an attempt to hinder peacekeeping peace making efforts in the country to buses, the busing, if i am both, 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 to meet refills, and i can assure you that our hearts and thoughts on our 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 ready to assist us to pay the way for peace. many thanks to those who have been asking about demetrius condition not, we hope he will recover as soon as possible. thank you. russian president vladimir putin has held a phone call with the indian prime minister. it is today to discuss the 2 countries bilateral relationship, including trade and energy cooperation. last days after the russian foreign ministry called reports that mowdy had refused to me, put in a simple quite misunderstanding. ortiz weren't and sharma hassle. though some thought to is the 1st 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 of their raft in person meeting, which happened on the sidelines with their c will summit in a summer gunther. now as far as the indian read out is concerned, are it sees that prime minister, no 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 afford to both countries a walking to the other during india, zach chair ship of the if you are also as far as the 2 leaders are concerned, they reviewed our thered bilateral relationship on several respects. saw of the t 3 key areas being god, of course are feed energy as well as our defense saw our but it's interesting because this new zach um saw diaz after a rough they were talk so feminist intervene, grew more the not traveling to moscow. 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. slovakia, coalition government has lost no confidence vote following months of political crisis and thought to the opposition accused of failing to cope with high energy costs and sky rocketing inflation. the countries highest in 2 decades arctic contributor rachel marston has the story. well, is this the longer the conflict in ukraine drags on the higher the chance of kia regime, changing its own allies right on the 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 central 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 seem 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. lou 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 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 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 caught 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 puts 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 comstock chaos, 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 slack he and president can decide to either let hunger continue in a limited capacity as prime minister, which would make him a lame duck ultimately. or she can decide to give someone else's shy it 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. her with he to assess all relations with russia. that's what turkey as president is asking on as he slammed the use foreign policy chief for questioning 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? jeff irvine lashed out at the e u official while speaking to reporters on his return from a trip to turkmenistan. i think that joe said beryl has no right to try and interfere in relations between encore and moscow. i do on also underlines diplomatic protocols stressing that burrell should only be addressing foreign

ministers and not presidents like the turkish leda. we discussed the story with alief as sachi, oakley foreign news editor, a turkey has a harp at t v. when you look at some of the, when you have the hierarchy between the international institutions, you know that a more of the chief would not actually refer or to see or initiate any kind of movement about the position of the president. the end of the list is going to be the position off the cobra nation. if sure, t one they go on and be alive that everyone you know, find a needle place which he tries to do while when will continue to do it is going to happen. he did in fact initiate. 9 grain deal did in fact try to become a great for us and russia, the mass and the eat,

the cause for the actually didn't mean the thing. so the 10 trick you raise young be, can you hear by 12 breaking news story. the latest package of sanctions against russia has targeted r t for using the european assets of our outlets. a parent company with joining me in the studio now is ortiz marina culture with the, with the data marina, thank you for coming in. so what are the details of the move and how is it being justified by brussels? well, this latest round of sanctions brings the total number of people who are sanction to a 1386 people. when it comes to organizations, it's $171.00. and among those organizations is our parent company and all tv novice, the, as well as a whole list of other russian channels. and basically we'll brussels is due and now it sees in the funds and acids belong to r c. in europe,

including legal persons associated with it. so the statement reads all forms in the comic resources a belonging to own, held or controlled by any national personal legal persons associated with an enormous c. therefore, r t c will be frozen and taken sees. and when you ask why, well, you claims that and i'll read out again r t r t news undermines the territorial integrity sovereignty and independence of ukraine. so this is why we're seeing this asset freeze and more sanctions. and what else do we know about the latest 9th round of e u. sanction so far? well there were, they've been talking about this for the last couple of days. so we were expected spot. this list is incredible. so they're targeting the energy sector, for example. so e, u, business companies are no longer allowed to buy and surprises within roches energy

sector. they are targeting the military industrial complex. we're also seeing, for example, even rushes of federal service for supervision of communications, information technology and mass media. they accuse them of censorship and not showing what they're like to see ross and channel show and apparently, but again, what they're doing is they are trying to block and freeze ortiz assets and therefore, so about their viewers don't to this side of the story. so this is how they're trying to force it and they're saying that after food and hunger, putin is now weaponized in the winter by deliver it to the deliberately, the private millions of ukrainians of water, electricity, and so on and so forth. so they're trying to hit rasa where it hurts, and this is where they believe it will hurt russia by doing the acids freeze of r c by targeting also energy sector, a. v ation rushes military banks,

navy, you name it, the list is endless. and bringing again the total to a wall thing, a $1386.00 people, $171.00 organizations. so this is what their hope and we'll really do the damage. marina, thanks for coming in with those details. ortiz marina, cause we're well, you can continue to find all the latest news updates on our website to r t dot com. we always appreciate you joining us here on the channel for all the latest. thank you for being with us today. ah. fresh in the west, survive 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 with ah, need to come to the russians state full narrative. i've stayed on the most landscape div. mm hm. now knocking them up for a coup in the $55.00. would this been okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state aunt, rush up to date and c r t spoke mckibbin. our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with pushy, did you,
