1:01 am
ah, hello and good morning for marty international studios in moscow from wherever you're watching. welcome to the hours most vital news stories worldwide i'm fear l is about. the e. u is tightening the screws on media freedom. a new sanctions package is freezing our t's european assets in an effort to censor criticism from russian media. i discuss the latest updates with our teeth. marino calls that are eva. 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 is that their sanction in our power company are now to the novice the in europe. so basically brussels is season forms and acids belong, so r c as well as some other of channels. and not only that,
1:02 am
they also want to make sure that there are no funds or economic resources made available to them, whether it's directly or indirectly. and this 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 not only people being sanctioned, but also different industries. so for example, we have now the latest, the number is up there. 1386 people who are sanctions in total and 171 organizations and they're really wants to make sure that it, it hits rush out where it hurts according to them. so for example, they're really targeting the rosters military industrial complex. they're looking at export with friction when it comes to technologies that contributes rushes,
1:03 am
military takes abilities and also its ability to work on certain technologies. they're trying to, we can russia when it comes to, it's 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 industrial complex, this is what they're really focusing on. and they want to make sure that russia is
1:04 am
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 to, for example, that hasn't worked. we know that there was a pole in germany recently where people that still wants to watch it still find ways to watch it. and you, and i know that you can watch a r c, 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 can circumvent 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. european union has been saying all along that it's all for freedom of speech. while this doesn't look very much like freedom of speech when you're trying to completely shut down the other angle of the story.
1:05 am
earlier we spoke to john kerry, aka the host of the whistle, blowers who says the e u is financially punishing alternative views because they're threatened. washington feels threatened by information they feel threatened by opposing views. and the easiest thing to do is just to cut those views off. the european union is exactly the same way. they are threatened by an alternative view of this conflict in ukraine. frankly, i'm surprised it took them this long even were where the conflict to come to an end through a negotiated peace settlement. that's not to say that either the united states or the european union would unfreeze russian assets or lift sanctions. i think frankly that the european union is watching developments in the united states. people here in the us are beginning to turn against this, this unlimited amount of money and unlimited material and weapons and weapons systems that the american government is sending to ukraine. there's
1:06 am
a big split in the republican party and the republicans are taking control of the house of representatives on january 3rd. so i think that the administration here in washington is influencing the european union and the european commission to try to tighten sanctions while they still can, i think come january 3rd, it's going to be a lot tougher to tighten sanctions, at least from the us side. and a lot tougher to continue. providing money and weapons and materiel to ukraine in 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 a hospital after a parcel bomb exploded in his hands on that particular incident. but we obviously very much hope that this jeremy mixer recovery we have not been asked
1:07 am
in any way to assist with the investigation. we obviously condemn these types of attacks. let's cross live to our corresponding corolla, thought le, horrible. what are the latest details on the attack? well, as you can imagine, the local police in the central african republic continue to comb through the scene of the incident. that clay, with the driver injured the, the head of the russian mission in central africa. dmitri city. if i'm just do it from what we know that the local police have found pieces of evidence, things like notes that were part of the peg cage that exploded in the heads of mr. c. t a and the right. now as far as we know, the only authorities that investigating this and the russian foreign ministry has
1:08 am
re some some need with regards to finding out who is behind us and gathering some of the evidence, but missed the cpa ad. that is to have been a person of, of great influence, especially with regards to woman relations between bang ye and moscow of 3 said, yes, russia has really been a part of choice for many of the con, laden countries that are fall. my french colonies that have really decided to turn the back on on friday because of the way paris as treated, the governments and the, the way they felt that they haven't been listened to over decade. now the central african republic itself has been a conflict paid for a very long time, only keeping its independence in 1960 from france. but they've had the 7 cause since then. the latest of which was the 2013 qu, which for paris,
1:09 am
committing some $1600.00 foot soldiers to be on the ground to try and deal with the situation there. but alas, that never materialized and the many rebel groups that operate around not only the central african republic, but even neighboring countries, like that the see like head has really rated over over the last couple of months. and so has the though we not relations. if you will, between moscow and some of the, some of the former french colonies. but for the, for my french colonized that it hasn't necessarily been that go, doesn't necessarily been going well, because they have been leading a massive exodus on the continent as more and more popular support on the ground. one something else. and they would rather have a partner who listens on the other end, and that's what they claim that paris cannot do, but following the attack,
1:10 am
unless the dimitri cta, a quick statement was issued by russian business and then, and co founder of the private military group. wagner's list of guinea pros, brooke, was he was the one who came up with a statement issuing it out, and really leveling the blame at the front. 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. 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 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. the russian foreign ministry has come out with
1:11 am
a statement earlier, really pushing this as an act of terror and also calling it an attempt unless dmitri 50 is life. they say that we go on further to say that this was not only an attempt to sell other relations within the central african republic, but to do so with, with malicious intent by those that do not wish for peace in the region and the warm relations that bank must go now enjoy here small from the russian foreign ministry. 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. the thing is that, that's most important to remember,
1:12 am
that over the years of russia and the central african republic, but even more closely through cooperation through bilaterals. this was part of the russian, mr. demit to as part of the russian mission of culture. if you will, that was inculcating itself with in that society. and it seems that that message of warm had dropped off. we heard that local youth had been protesting against that tag and actually offering some self offering, lining up to of a blood to mr. city a should he need sides. and we know that the growing sentiments of, of the love for russia within that country has been part of a growing trend within the hell region. and these countries that have been yearning for, for a bit of ability and peace over decades now, and they feel they have been failed by the likes of runs and the extended waste
1:13 am
community. but also missed the city was said to be a moderator of some sort between some of the local rebel groups and government forces. and this is the role that he said to have played in 2019. so a man really averse with the current situation in central african republic, and that's what led to so much speculation as to who could be involved. but a man who knew mister c t a well, if he's a colleague in the russian house who also told as the following, i see passing, if i bundle. so 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 to 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 on our with him. we hope he gets
1:14 am
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 to those who have been asking about demetrius condition, we hope he will recover as soon as possible. what we know so far is that the police continued to gather evidence at the russian house that security has been ramped up at that particular facility. and that the investigation is ongoing, but doctors have fed that mister city remains in critical condition in hospital, in the central african republic. and then he is now facing a fight for his life. our teeth corolla, thought le, thank you. the u. s. has produced and supplied drones
1:15 am
to ukraine, to target russian infrastructure. that's according to arti sources, that 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 the civil stubble, as well as the belgrade curse can verona regions source as familiar with the story told us that final drone assembly and test flight were conducted near a polish airport, which would use as the main natal hub for supplying weapons to carry the u. a.
1:16 am
these are said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of odessa and crew. boy rogue. 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. we are, the president said very clearly some time ago. we're not enabling ukraine to strike behind beyond its borders. retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. karen, kill a cowski, says the drones could be a dangerous step in the wrong direction. it is concerning and alarming. and it is consistent with some of the other things we've seen leading up to this point . you know, the intelligence sharing that has been going on us intelligence and that kind of
1:17 am
thing. certainly the assistance with some of the american weapon systems that are been sent to ukraine along with american operators and trainers for that equipment . concerns about special forces being forward being forward located into surrounding countries, including colon, but also the elaborate lithuania, latvia, those guys are allies there. so this is just one more step in a very dangerous direction. providers of arms, they're making a lot of money. their stock is growing it's, it's doing well they're, they have guaranteed contracts well into the future in part because of conflicts around the world, and specifically in due to the kind of money that's been spent on their company's products. going into ukraine and going into this war effort relating to ukraine to them. this is good business. we have requested the pentagon's comment on the
1:18 am
reports, but have yet to receive a response. at least 10 explosions have wrought. the city of don yeske overnight. grad missiles were 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 witness to say, some missile fragments hit a car, injuring a family inside. we heard from local residents about their life under constant chelly lane, cities, units of blood, the auction. the ukrainian regime ignores all the rules and targets purely civilian areas. there are no military personnel, they're only local residents, small children leave here. i have no idea what they're doing and when it will end, the silly law move there was massive shelling. 2 old women got so scared they fainted. we hope someone will help us lay. i'm not a day goes by and,
1:19 am
and ask 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 and bother ukrainian shells on fires and western weapons are raining down on the heads of civilians, folk residential neighborhoods, places of worship, and hospitals that have become legitimate targets of the key of regime in the shelling by ukrainian forces of this church and the center of damascus, irrefutable evidence of caves, deliberate and planned crimes. america whose lists of targets is consuming more and more solo at the guy, but read a huge flow of western weapons, could indicate of the new phase of the war. that's according to the head of the daniel republic who shared his insights into the latest battlefield developments in an interview with r t parity with this. so what did it process on the ukrainian forces while suffering massive losses on the front lines are trying to take revenge on the civilians?
1:20 am
it's obviously criminal behavior and it violates all the rules of warfare and multiple conventions. the keep regime has long since crossed all boundaries and is making decisions encouraged by the west village. i should remind you of that, not long ago, washington voiced its approval of how natal weapons are being used in ukraine. in fact, nature, troops are directly involved in the conflict. so sort of this raises serious concerns about the war. moving into the next more dangerous phase blame. you would definitely want to avoid this kind of escalation, but nature does not take it into account. now we're seeing natal officers coming to grain disguised as mercenaries or fighters of private military companies. and this huge flow of western weapons might be an indication of a new dangerous face of the war, which is nato getting directly involved in the conflict y'all's mailbox, seeing the gear regime does not make allowances for its losses on the battlefield. troops are often sent to the frontline, unprepared and liking weapons and necessary equipment sitting near as many
1:21 am
prisoners of war complaint they are often misled and sent to the front without any proper notice. you as markets have been shocked by the federal reserves 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 chief admitted. there's no telling if the measure is 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 per cent 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 completely painless way to restore price stability. there isn't and this is the best we can do. the u. s.
1:22 am
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 fixed selection of goods. however, the u. s. congress changed my method of calculation to reflect the average cost of living. critics say this system then allows washington to downplayed the real inflation rate in the country. we spoke with rti contributor chris adams, who was skeptical of the measure, noted 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 and then also talk about the other problem to the us. there isn't really an adequate in argue for that's a british perspective, an advocate welfare states. so without money, people can't buy their insurance without insurance. they don't get access to health care. not just going to create a risk when we've seen us in the us before. the night it create massive,
1:23 am
massive problems with insights in an economy where people come, you know, go and receive medical treatments and the most basic things. so i don't think it's solve the problem until i think we're already seeing that by just the price that things are costing for anyone in the west right now. you know, 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, we're looking at a macro version, but a realtor and inflation is already higher than it's ever been. and particularly my generation of the, the way things are costing right now even more than 2000. and 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's just got ripple effects and we could argue if, 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. christ peruse the military has been accused of using extreme violence to suppress protests against the ousting of
1:24 am
former president. whether you 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 dina was stored in as for ruth new president, last week after x president castillo was removed in an impeachment, vote by congress. the us ambassador to peru praise the countries new leadership on her social media out describing them as democratic. 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 union government. this promise to form, we hope to strengthen all bilateral relationship. the statement was released as
1:25 am
1:26 am
a peru met with a country's defense minister shortly before castillo was impeached. the minister was apparently one of the military leaders responsible for cast deals, 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 their 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 backed 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 united states is a very long history of organizing and supporting cruise data across the region.
1:27 am
very famous examples include the cia coo that overthrew guatemala elected president, a couple ottomans back in 1954. there's also the famous cia coo and she lay against already in the democratic elected president. and 973. 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. is 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 there never been
1:28 am
a coup in washington? and that the answer is because there's no u. s embassy in washington. and that's a rob on the hour's top news stories from around the world for more coverage, head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on rumble, odyssey and gap, we'll see it back next hour. ah ah, lisa canter, rush in the state. little narrative i side as i phone and ignore some scheme with 55 with. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy when else with will ban in the european union. the kremlin. yup,
