and elsewhere in lodge office companies would lose millions of millions or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what what we're facing, which is passion. ah, breaking news in the latest act of censorship against media. the you targets are teens parent company with another round of sanctions, ordering a freeze of the company's assets in europe. the united nations has condemned a pair attack on russia's humanitarian offices in the central african republic, where the head of the mission was seriously wounded. party sources say you f, manufactured and supplied drones for youth by ukraine in recent strikes on russian territory. that's despite washington's claims, that u. s. weapons have not been used to hit targets inside russia,

with hello from martinez, international studios in moscow, in from wherever you are catching the program. welcome to the hours most vital news stories worldwide and fearless ago. we start with breaking news. the e. u is tightening the screws on media freedom. a new sanctions package is freezing our teas, european assets, in an effort to censor criticism from russian media. i discuss the latest updates with our team, marina co sort of a all this is now the nines package of sanctions and they are supposed to be hard hitting as the european union has called them. and basically what we're seeing with our t's that they're sanctioning our parent company and all to the novice the in europe. so basically brussels is season funds and acids belonging to our c as well

as some other over channels. and not only that, they also wants to make sure that there are no funds or economic resources made available to them, whether it's directly or indirectly, and not only affects entities, but also people associated with the company. this is what's interesting and also another aspect to this is that there are more russian channels being sanctioned as well. some of them have just one news broadcast every day, for example. and what else do we know about this latest round of e u sanctions? well it's a huge list of. busy not only people being sanctioned, but also different industries. so for example, we have now the latest the number is that there 1386 people who are sanctioned in total and 171 organizations. and they're really wants to make sure that it, it hits russia where it hurts according to them. so for example, there are really targeting the rosters military industrial complex. they're looking

at export restriction when it comes to technologies that contributes rushes, military takes abilities and also its ability to work on certain technologies. they're trying to, we can russia when it comes to its military, there is also and other and the energy sector, for example, no new investments can be made by a foreign companies within roches energy sector. there's also a v, a sion and for example, more banks have been added. and what's interesting, they're cutting rushes access to drones. so not only is the direct exports of drone engines now forbidden to russia. so to other countries that may circumvent this. and then for example, through other countries, exports it to ross so, so that's also not allowed. so this is a multifaceted attack on russia. absolutely. and through different industries, but particularly the military and dust real complex. this is what they're really

focusing on. and they want to make sure that russia is weekends on the battle ground, and some experts have already come out and set it. for example, with the freezing of the assets when it comes to our table. clearly what they've done so far by binding the channel on soup, for example, that hasn't worked. we know that there was a pole in germany recently where people that still want to watch and still find ways to watch it. and you and i know that you can watch or is he not just on satellite cd, but you can go online and people have been posting lots of videos. so that's what they're not happy with. and they're trying to make sure that it's sub found by cutting any funds that are made available to r t or any ways in which russia concert convent the sanctions and is remaining up and running that. and also the military aspect is very important. that's what they're trying to do to weaken it, but also at the same time, this is what we're talking about. the european union has been saying all along that it's all for freedom of speech. well, this doesn't look very much like freedom of speech when you're trying to completely

shut down the other angle of the story. for my, we're joined by labor and human rights floria dan kovachick. welcome dan. thank you carol. good to be here. so what do you make of the latest sanctions on our teens, parent company? i mean, including the freezing of the assets. i mean, honestly, on flabbergasted. i mean, how, how do you countries freeze all these assets of different countries, right. the, you know, the claims to be a capitalist system and yet what is more against the free market than freezing people's assets and sees basically stealing other people's money. and that's exactly what's happening here. but the other thing is it shows how brittle the narrative of the west is that they can not broker any descent like that from r t. i mean that, that's what this really shows. yeah, i mean,

and it's so secret that are to carries an alternative viewpoint on what's happening in ukraine and across europe. what do you think this asset freeze means for the future of our tea in europe? do you think our western viewers will keep watching regardless of such sanctions? honesty, my guess is there watch it even more? you know, people like forbidden fruit. it goes way back to the bible. you might recall back to the earliest days of being human people like to do what they're not supposed to. so my hope is they would they watch it more? obviously i've been on r t, i should say for years and i write for our deed. so obviously i think it's a thing of value and i hope people keep watching it. my guess is this will only build their curiosity for our tea. what do you make of the timing of the sanctions? why is this asset freeze happening now at this very moment?

i think because in the west, people are now suffering incredible ukraine fatigue. they are not supporting this war. like they did at the outset. they're not supporting zelinski like they did at the outset. and so, you know that you're getting desperate there. so now they're trying to shut down any alternative sources of news about ukraine, because they know that their narrative is now die. well, you mentioned the brittle nature of the western narrative. the e u has tried to justify its sanctions by claiming that r t spreads this information. so is this really about fighting the so called propaganda? or could it be seen as a crackdown on media press freedoms? i think that's what it is. it's a crack down on the freedom of the press. again, i having been involved in r t now for at least 5 years. i believe

r t is more fair and balanced than most western media. this is not about suppressing mis information. it's about suppressing freedom of speech and honest descent and that i find honestly repub well, there's currently so much talk about censorship at an international level. do you expect any western journalists to question or criticize or say something against this asset freeze? i doubt that many will, i mean, i think, you know, to quote john pilled, you're a great journalist from the united kingdom. he says most journalists today are in fact anti journalists. and i agree with that. i think there's few honest journalists left in the west and i think very few therefore will question what's happening. and then just what, why do you think this issue of so called russian propaganda remains such

a hot topic for the you when the law clearly has enough of its own issues at home to deal with? i think that's why it is an issue because they are now suffering incredible economic deprivation, especially entering the winter and is deprivation of their own doing by following the us down this rattle of sanctions, which are only heard a year. so now they're looking for distraction. they're looking for someone to blame and kills, to preach their blaming russia again. that's what this is about. labor in human rights lawyer dam collect. thank you dan. thank you. good evening. on the very same day the, you targeted russian media, the german foreign ministry said freedom of the press cannot be switched off, commenting on the suspension of twitter accounts of several us journalists.

freedom of the press must not be switched on and off at will. as of today, the journalist below can no longer follow comment or criticize us. we have a problem with that. twitter has suspended the accounts of around half a dozen journalists, including reporters from the new york times, washington post, and cnn. while the company, c, e, o. e on must accuse them of safety regulation violations. us media are fuming at the move to not suspension of the twitter account of a number of prominent journalists including the new york times. ryan mac is questionable at unfortunate neither times nor ryan have received an explanation about why this occurred. we hope that all of these journalists accounts are reinstated, and the twitter provides a satisfying explanation for this action. last night's car carrying little eggs in a lay was followed by a crazy stalker thinking it was me,

collated blocked car from moving and climbs on to hood. any accounts ducks in real time location info of any one will be suspended as it is a physical safety violation. this includes post to links to sites with real time location info. well, have you look into the details? there is a lot of outrage coming from democrats, mostly at this point, and they are upset about the fact that these accounts have been suspended. these journalists have had their accounts taken down. they say this is simply a case of retaliation. this is an attempt to silence critics of the law mas alarm mosque. on the other hand says that a car that his child was in was stalked out. he's concerned about his personal safety and doc sing. what's worth noting is the hypocrisy that we're seeing here are some voices that have been quite in favor of tech censorship before are now speaking up in pretty loud terms. take a o. c, for example. you're a public figure,

an extremely controversial. i'm powerful one. i get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power. plus erotically banning jealous only increases the intensity around you take a beat and they of the protein facia, them maybe try putting down your phone. that's quite heated language. we're hearing from a o. c. they're pro fascism. she's quite fired up, but in the past we've heard a o d herself calling for more media censorship. and in addition to that has been sued for blocking or critics and preventing her critics from being able to challenge her on social media. now it's also worth reviewing the role played by the end. brian delser, he's been a voice that is very outspoken. now again, still on mom. here's what he said. who knows? i think that's, that's a, that's just an example of a broader question, bridgewater, which has, if you, if you get invited to something where there are no rules where there is total

freedom forever, everybody. do you actually want to go to that party or, or you decide to stay home. so that we, brian dealt or talking about his concern that along with not engage in an upset him, there wouldn't be enough shutting down a certain view. but now that certain views have been shut down in these journalists have been suspended. he's speaking up and referring to a law, goes a tyrant. and that seems to be the way these voices are framing that they're seeing . alarm mosque as a tie. rent use it to radical ceo using his power to shut down. critics. but they didn't speak the same way about jack dorothy and jack dorothy was running twitter and silencing many conservative that other critics of the us status quo. they defended him. they didn't speak of him in the same language in term. so let's review how they spoke of jack dorothy compared to how they now speak of a law mosque is relevant there. a private company can make the own independent

decisions in line with a published terms of service. i don't know what happened him, but if he'll a muscle doesn't fix this within the hour with an explanation by morning. i'll be on capitol hill to morrow demanding that he behold in front of congress. now let's recall when donald trump was still the president of the united states after the january 6 events was banned from social media. there didn't seem to be a huge flurry of outrage about that. the fact that a sitting president was being silenced by a major social media app. ah, however, this recent round of the dance is got the european union wang and getting it's opinion. here's what we heard from the european union. news about arbitrary suspension of journalists and twitter is worrying is digital services act requires respect to media, freedom, and from mental rights. this is reinforced under our media freedom act. elan mosque

should be aware of that. the red red lines, and sanction soon, the media of freedom act. talk about freedom of speech and suppression of freedom of the press. what about the fact? european union has blocked and shut down russia media outlets r. t has been silent by the european union for quite a few months. we've seen suppression of rush and media outlets across the country and by the you itself. so the hypocrisy of all of the very, very easy to detect here are very selected outrage. these folks were calling for all kinds of tech censorship, but now that alon mot someone doesn't seem to be in their camp, is the one making the rules. they're crying foul and screaming about tyranny and suppression. it's worth noting how these things are playing out. to other news now, the united nations has condemned a terror attack on the head of the russian humanitarian mission in the central

african republic. the official is currently being treated in the hospital after a parcel bomb exploded in his hands. we obviously very much hope that this gentleman makes a recovery. we have not been asked in any way to assist with the investigation, but we obviously condemned these types of attacks. we've obtained exclusive footage from the crime scene, or local investigators are now sifting through forensic evidence. local police have described the incident as a terror attack with moscow's foreign ministry condemning the incident. some locals have come to the hospital where the russian official is being treated to show their support by more so. so miss susan, we've come to donate blood for a transfusion. for dimitry. he came to the central african republic. he fought and did a lot for us. he came to save us and to day it's our turn to visit him in the hospital . his son from the russian humanitarian official dmitri safety opened the explosive

package in his office. images from the scene also show a note left on the table. it's written in russian and says, this is for you from all the french. the french foreign minister has denied allegations of involvement in the bombing, the russian businessman and co founder of the wagner military groups. as the note came with the package and echo similar threats in the pass. 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 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 other things that we know is that unless subrogation has sir, 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 france in particular being declared as fades. one sir, of hara, by the russian federation. from what we do know, the parcel itself was sent from lo may the capital city of toll. 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, we strongly condemned this criminal act, which is clearly aimed against activities of the russian house in bungie. and more broadly against the successful development of friendly relations between our 2 countries. what we do know is that less the 30th dmitri 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 rebel groups in that country. by signifying bonham. 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 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 2 sisters to paved the way for peace. many thanks those who have been asking about to me trees, condition, we hope he will recover as soon as possible. the country itself has really been in the midst of, of instability since the civil war, then occurred in 2019, despite the former colonizer france, deploying some 1600 troops to that country, to restore peace and fame belies some of the conflicts we have seen in that region, they have been systematically and over a long period of time, tension is 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, the 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 u. s. has produced an supplier, drones to ukraine, to target russian infrastructure. that's according to our t sources. that's despite washington's claims, that weapons supply tick, yet have not been used to hit russian territory. it's been determined that the avi 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. you avi's to attack infrastructure facilities in some estoppel as well as the belgrade curse can varone as regions. sources familiar with the story told us that final drone assembly and test flight were conducted near a polish airport, which was used as the main natal hub for supplying weapons to kiev. the u. a. these

are said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of odessa and provoke, the revelation contradicts washington's claims, that weapons supplied to cab have not been used to bomb sites inside russia. we have not provided ukraine with weapons that is to use inside of russia. we've been very clear that these are defensive slots. ah, we are the president said very clearly, some time ago. we are not enabling ukraine to strike behind beyond its borders. any one who has been following as the conflict, even only in the west media. 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 west media about a polish mercenaries who 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 in antony blinking both i believe on record saying we neither enabled nor encouraged you trying to strike the on his borders. and yeah, i believe as i recall m triple 7. how it says have, 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 and goal of cur theater, where high mars struck and people they could not explain to me how these 2 claimed realities can exist in the same power. diamond same world per is military, has been accused of using extreme violence to suppress protests against the ousting of former president pedro castillo. the country's official human rights

organization has claimed that the military use helicopters to shoot protesters and dropped here gas on them. in these unverified images, you can see what appears to be an army helicopter opening fire on demonstrators. the military has yet to respond to the accusations. the crisis escalated after deena bullard, they were sworn in as bruise, new president, last week after x president castillo was removed in an impeachment, vote by congress. the u. s. ambassador to peru praise the country's new leadership on her social media account, describing them as democratic. i met with president buller watty to reiterate the u. s. commitment to the defense of democracy and respect for institutions together with the peruvian precedent on the humidity government. this promise to form, we hope to strengthen our bilateral relationship. this statement was released as mass protest entered their 2nd week after the countries official announced

a 30 day stay of national emergency. here's how the turmoil in peru has been unfolding. ah. all the consciousness. hm . now the situation reportedly destabilized, shortly after the us ambassador to peru met with a country's defense minister who was apparently one of the military leaders responsible for castillo ousting. a closer look into the background of the

ambassador reveals she previously worked for the cia that's according to the us state department website. independent journalist, ben norton says it's common for the u. s. to overthrow progressive governments when it suits or interests. 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 wing leader who represents their economic interests, who is then overthrown by the elite oligarchy, inch interests back by the u. s. there, there are literally dozens of examples and pretty much every country in latin america. anyone in latin america knows that the, you know, united states is a very long history of organizing and supporting cruise data across the region. very famous examples include the cia coo that overthrew guatemala elected president archival ottomans back in 1954. there's also the famous cia coo and she lay against

somebody in the democratic elected president and $973.00. we have all of the historical documents proving that the cia 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 raised some eyebrows to see that a cia officer who is now at the u. s. ambassador to peru, and as they say in the u. s. there's really no such thing as a former cia agent. the reality is that many people around the world know that the u. s. embassy is used to organize coups 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 that the answer is because there's no u. s embassy in washington. 3 explosions have brought the city of john. yes, over night, 6 grad missiles are fired at

a residential area. according to local authorities. one of the buildings reportedly caught fire with windows blown out, and an entire floor destroyed in another. witnesses say, some missile fragments had a car injuring a family inside. we heard from local residents about their life under constant shelling lanes is units of blood, the auction. the ukranian regime ignores all the rules and targets purely civilian areas. there are no military personnel, they're only local residents, small children live here. so i have no idea what they're doing and when it will end the story barbara, there was massive shelling, 2 old women got so scared, said a faint entries. we hope someone will help us today and will not a day goes by and, and asked without casualties. and destruction. and the reason for this is the key of regimes. heavy shelling of residential areas. the shelling only grows more powerful day by day model, ukrainians,

shelves on fires and western weapons are raining down on the heads of civilians, residential neighborhoods, places of worship, and hospitals that have become legitimate targets of the key of regime. the shelling by ukrainian forces of the church and the center of donuts is irrefutable evidence worth of caves, deliberate and planned crime as the money that was list of targets. leo is consuming more and more souls and infrastructure. i mean, as you, as markets have been shocked by the federal reserve decision to further raise interest rates amid record inflation and escalating fears of recession. while the central bank claims it's trying to stabilize the economy, it's cheap admitted. there's no telling if measures will actually work. i don't think any one 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 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 us inflation rate is measured by the so called consumer price index, but the method has long raised many concerns. originally the index was based on the price of a fix selection of goods. however, the u. s. congress change a method of calculation to reflect the average cost of living critic say this system allows washington to downplayed the real inflation rate in the country. we spoke with our chief contributor a chris and who was skeptical of the measure know to stabilize inflation. you have to get people to go out and buy things if you take away someone's job and they're not going to be out, they want to go out and buy so many things that they talk about,

the other problems.
