oh, with in my chair it's laura doesn't want that extra mom a minute or a and it's the latest act of sense to ship at russian media that you targets off the parent company with another round of sanctions. ordering a freeze of the companies that, that in europe you and condemns the terror attack on russia's humanitarian offices in the central african republic is left the head of the mission seriously wounded. with our 2 sources claim us manufactured and supplied drones, were used by ukraine in recent strikes on russian territory. despite washington saying, the u. s. weapons have not been used to hit targets in russia. with

this has gone to 2 pm on saturday in moscow and peter scott, where be journalist from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. they will not use tightening the screws on the media. freedom says the latest package of sanctions, freezing ortiz, european assets, in an effort to silence russia. earlier, my colleague fiorella isabel, discuss the developments with ortiz, marina call me back. all this is now the nines package of sanctions and they're supposed to be hard heading as the european union has called them. and basically what we're seeing with our t's that they're sanctioning ours, he's plan company and not to the novice, the in europe. so basically brussels is season funds and massive belongings who are c, as well as some other over panels. and not only that, 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 not only affect 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 up there. $1386.00 people who are sanctioned in total and $171.00 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 target thing, 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 foreign companies with rushes 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 2 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 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. what people that still wants to watch and still find ways to watch that new. and i know that you can watch or is he not just on satellite cd, but you can go online and the 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 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, we spoke to legal and media unless line and he said that the west shouldn't be

censoring alternative viewpoints during the time of conflicts. what exactly is r t supposed to do to avoid sanctions? not talk about ukraine. adopt a particular. oh i d. ology that is not consistent with that of, of russia. i don't understand something. normally, you tell somebody, you're saying something that's wrong, correct? it. okay, what would you like me to? correct? don't talk about ukraine. what don't don't say anything that could be construed as positive. don't, don't issue propaganda. that's my favorite. no, this is the part i don't understand. what exactly are you supposed to say at every angle of our existence, whether it's social media, television, media, cable news, it doesn't matter. there. somebody new telling us, shut up. don't say that. keep your mouth shut. that misinformation dis, information. you're an apologist. this is hate speech. this is what is going to be

accepted in the future, what, what they're basically saying is go away, don't be, don't exist. everybody in the world can speak, except you don't say anything. we don't want to hear from you. when we think about this in the world with all of the speech in all of the exchanges of ideas propaganda. i mean, i think we're using this is the 17th century vatican term from pope gregory up again, listen to this. they should frighten the everybody. my god, if ever there was the time to speak and to exchange ideas and thought it's now on the same day the, you targeted russian media, germany's foreign ministry rushed to protect press freedoms saying that could not be quote, switched off as in reference to the suspension of twitter council, several us journalists, freedom of the press must not be switched on and off at will. as of today,

the journalists below can no longer follow comment or criticize us. we have a problem with that. and to know the new story we're across today, the united nations has condemned a terror attack on the russian humanitarian mission, the central african republic, which left his chief in hospital fighting for his life after a possible exploded in his hands on that particular incident. oh, we obviously very much hope. oh, that is german mixer recovery oh we have not been asked or in any way to assist with the with the investigation. we obviously condemn these types of attacks. the local police in the central african republic continued to comb through the scene of the incident that injured her, the head of the russian mission in central africa. if the dmitri city, if understood from what we know,

that the local police have found pieces of evidence, things like notes that were part of the package that exploded in the hands of mister cta. and they are right now as far as we know, the only authorities that are investigating this and the russian foreign ministry has really age some, some speed with regards to finding out who is behind us and gathering some of the evidence. but missed the cta. evidence to have been a person of, of great influence, especially with regards to warming relations between bang ye and moscow of recent years. russia has really been a partner of choice for many of the conflict laden countries that are former french colonies that have really decided to turn their back on and on france, because of the way paris has treated their governments. and they, in the way they felt that they haven't been listened to over decades following this

attack unless that dimitry city, a quick statement was issued by a russian business, lynn and co founder of the private military group. wagner, 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 can 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, open to 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 have come out with a favor and then go on further to say that this was not only an attempt to to so other relations within the central african republic, but to do so with,

with that malicious intent by those that do not wish for peace in the region and the warm relations that bang ye and moscow now enjoy. we strongly condemn this criminal act, which is clearly ain't against activities of the russian house in bungie. and more broadly against the successful development of friendly relations between our 2 countries. lest the city were said to be a moderator of sand side between them, of the local rebel groups and government forces. and this is the role that he has said to have played in 20 lane team for a manually averse with the current situation in central african republic. and that's what has led to so my speculation as to who could be involved. but a man who knew mister city or well is his colleague in the russian house, who also told as the following thing about him going home. 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. it people ask us how dmitri feels, and i can assure you that our hearts and thoughts on our with him. we hope he gets better, so we need his help in our work to bring peace to the country. we hope state and law enforcement will conduct a proper investigation, some 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 pave the way the peace. what many thanks to those who have been asking about me to his condition, look, we hope he will recover as soon as possible. what we know so far is that the police continued to gather evidence at the ration house that security has been ramped up at that particular facility and that the investigation is ongoing. but doctors have

fed that missouri city remains in critical condition in hospital, in the central african republic, and then he is now facing a fight for his life. u. s. has produced unsupported drones to ukraine to targets russian infrastructure. at least that's according to some source, as they've spoken swati, as despite washington claiming us that weapons have not been used, it's 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 stop all, as well as the belgrade curse can varone as regions sources familiar with the story

claim that final drone assembly and test flights were conducted near a polish airport, which was used as the main need to hope for supplying weapons to give your vs are said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of death and cree void rod. the allegation contradicts washington's claims, that weapons supplied. the kev 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 supplies. we are, the president said very clearly, some time ago. we are not enabling ukraine to strike the on beyond its borders or a tide usaa force left tenant colonel tara. what's koski says the use of us manufacture drones would be a dangerous step. it is concerning an 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 thing. i certainly the assistance with some of the american weapon systems that are being sent to ukraine along with american operators and trainers for that equipment . concerns about special forces being forward being forward located to india, surrounding countries including poland, but also the latter lithuania lapierre. those guys are allies there. so this is just one more step in a very dangerous direction. providers of arms in making a lot of money. their stock is growing. it's, it's doing well. they are, 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 crane and going into this war effort relating to ukraine to

them. this is good business, or we've asked for comments from the pentagon to those allegations, but were yet to hear anything back from them. at least 10 explosions have wrought the dungeons capital overnights local authorities then at the number of grad missiles were fired at the residential area. one of the buildings was heads report, lee under possibly caught fire, while windows were blown out on an fire floor was destroyed and another witnesses say that miss. our fragments also took a car in during the family inside. we heard from local residents about life under fish only in storage 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 sleeve are little. there was massive shelling, 2 old women got so scared they fainted. we hope someone will help us. not

a day goes by and announced without casualties and destruction. and the reason for this is the key of regimes heavy shelling of residential areas. this shelling only grows more powerful day by day. her mother, ukrainian shells on fires and western weapons are raining down on the heads of civilians, residential neighborhoods, places of worship and hospitals have become legitimate targets of the key of regime of the shelling by ukrainian forces of this church and the center of don't ask is irrefutable evidence of cubes, deliberate and planned crimes. medical who's lists of targets is consuming more and more solo at the curb. and meanwhile, president vladimir putin has visited the command center for the military operation in ukraine. there he heard a report on the progress of the operation and held meetings with commanders while he became acquainted with the work of the joint staff on russia's armed forces.

moving on now, cuz our officials have been banned from the european parliament chamber. sutter, the gold country, was suspected of trying to financially influence decision making. members of the parliament this week suspended katara representatives on suspicion of having offered large sums of money and substantial guess to emy peas on their assistance. those under suspicion of receiving payments include ever highly a former european parliament vice president its army while has rejected any wrong doing. the state of katara categorically rejects any attempt to associated with accusations of misconduct. any association of the katara government with the reported claims is baseless and gravely misinformed. the greek politician was charged following 16 raids across brussels in which cash worth around one point. $6000000.00 was found around a $159000.00 euros was found in a flat 636000 at her home and 795000 in her brussels hotel. you parliamentarians have said to be,

are set to be furious about the situation. the european union loves to give lessons to the entire world. it would do much better to start cleaning its own house. the european parliament is not a transparent institution and support for socialists like eva kylie exposes the values of the european parliament and ridicules this e u institution. earlier we told c political analyst, nicola markovich, who says that lobbyists are influencing the you more more? well, this is a huge blow. we're talking about the vice president of the european party, and we're talking about the different members of the european party parliament. a lot of people are saying today that if we pull the strings a bit more, we will be finding commissioners or people working with the commissioner is. and this is we're talking about a lot of money over a $1000000.00 and a half euros in cash. and we know that there are thousands lobbyist and brussels today. each one is defending his own view, his own opinion. and if we find out that there are so many and we probably will

have a lot of the decisions taken in brussels, are done under the influence presenting for management of corporate money to sway the decisions of the european parliament. dissuade this isn't especially with the commission in europe. we must not forget the importance of the commission. this means that we are extremely far from the dream of the european parliament and of assembly of european peoples taking decisions in our own interest. i think this is too much of a blow. they can't hide this under the rug, which is extremely interesting and shows the way the european some people within the european union work today. living another director of the u. n. world health organization has accused a retrain troops of killing his own on coal, along with all the civilians and ethiopians war on chico, a province. in october, the director claimed that the international community wasn't paying enough attention to the conflicts stressing that it had spawned a health crisis. does not affected some 6000000 people. meanwhile,

e u foreign policy chief use that barella has expressed his frustration of the situation. more than one month after cease fire came into effect in the region. then one thing that has kept me very busy, very sorry and very frustrated is ethiopia? not enough people talk about it. we don't talk a lot about ethiopia. yes. from time to time when their piece discussions, but what is happening in t grey's, the deadliest war, we complain rightly about what is happening in ukraine. but what is happening in ethiopia is really awful. the war stems from a long standing confrontation between the governments and the authorities of the autonomous t. great region is spots a huge humanitarian crisis, which has left more than 5000000 people facing starvation. even ne, my agreements has been in place since november, ethiopians have criticized the you foreign policy chief, accusing him of not doing enough to help and the suffering. well, what i understood from burrell statements is that they don't want us to stay united

by dividing us along ethnic lines, religion and language. so it is because they don't want peace to prevail, that they are going back and fanning the conflict so that we go back to war and remain week or so on. but now we have peace in our country, but they go back and try to bring up old wounds so that we go to war again. they look like they are helping us to reconcile it. but then you see them working hard to take us back to war. i get rid of it. there was no time that the west stopped conspiring against us in old times or to day let alone ethiopia. they don't want to see africa develop. this is a fact that they could have done a lot in the past to stop the war, but instead they come and start fanning the conflict by exaggerating things. instead, they should work on preventing future conflict. there people of india understood the conflict total, understand the conflict relative your policy to what they open on the way certain hours her understand or perceive their conflict into gray when it comes to the

numbers. so if the casually t, so he said in his pick that up from 602800000 people love it. been keyed to for so so for our forces and d to gay forces are in the process of implementing that throws. it's obvious that to hail can convey so they look in union would take her seriously, you cleaned and african her country. so we can rule that even aid has significant to leah decrease and not, not necessarily because of the conflict from europe and, but also on the outpatient. generally given to the africa, beijing has lost out a japan accusing it of high pink up the chinese threats. and thus, while stressing their claims that it's an unprecedented strategic challenge are completely groundless. to google's r dondo, the japanese side ignores facts, deviates from its commitment to china, japan relations, and ground. lastly,

discredit china when we once again urged the japanese site to adhere to the principle that the 2 countries are cooperative partners and do not pose a threat to each other. i being up the china threat to find an excuse for its mil to rebuild up, is doomed to fail. this allegation comes amid a plunder military spending spree by tokyo, that many c as violating as post world war 2 demilitarization policy. japan has adopted a $315000000000.00 miniature build up plan, bring in its armed force investment to the 3rd highest, globally, prime minister for me. ok. sheeter said that the changes were needed due to the destructive activities of his neighbors as another worker quinn. unfortunately, in the vicinity of our country, there are countries carrying out activities such as enhancement of nuclear capabilities. a rapid military build up and unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force in the next 5 years. in order to fundamentally reinforce our

defense capabilities. we will implemented defense build up program worth about $315000000000.00 in 2027 with reinforced defense capabilities and complimentary initiatives. we will secure a defense budget of 2 percent of gdp. according to the funds constitution, after world war 2, the country renounced war on the use of offensive weapons. since the end of the occupied the occupation of the country in the 1950s, the usaa has pushed japan to revise this article of their constitution encouraging the islands you upgrade its military capabilities. however, in a 2014 change of policy, the japanese government allowed their military to fight in support of allies under attack. nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. thing, thank says the world shall pay close attention to japan as it builds up his military. japan is using what they call

a strategic challenge from china to increase its defense budget. and this is something that i think the rest of the world will all have to watch very closely because japan is not supposed to ask us to do that under its constitution. and this is an obvious pushing of the envelope using something that it doesn't really make sense. it's not that china is going to respond. china should not be the only country that i respond to this happening. i think most of the countries or the countries in the region in the, in asia a just to have a clear memory of what happened during the 2nd world war and that they should all come up to, to respond to, to this upcoming incident. well that's are up for this hour. my name is peter scotts, i'll be back again in around 30 minutes time with all the latest news and views

here on oxy. thanks to watch in awe . what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is offensive. very dramatic development. only nationally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk. ah ah.

ah wu to no one? no, sir, no, no. hon. hello, job. no, no. what go more shrill than what they should end up? unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. real good, you know, to production, issue or short good,

though did enough. good candidates, when you saw new rochelle, keep on more more general margaret thought this meant new again from all one of our new and i got to learn much sale. i got ya. i got on monday. i wish to know about joy. whoa, whoa, knew he didn't or guzzle more or less than a jr. let's i had to put this car mother on all everybody build your new club hours. nice. oh boy, that's good to go that route on what the on this the world. she my and new other. i'm all i can send more on all said mom, good student. i don't the, you know a lot on all of them out. thank you. bye. i. 2 victor boot the russian arms dealer

who had been incarcerated in one of the highest security penitentiaries in the united states for the last 12 years is now home with his family after being exchanged for american w. n. b. a star, brittany greiner. she had been imprisoned in russia after being convicted on drug charges in a handful of interviews. good seems like a normal russian citizen, not somebody who has seen the worst of what the american prison system has to offer . today we'll talk about what the experience was like for him. i'm john kerry aku. and you're watching the whistleblowers. ah. when i was at the cia in the early part of the last decade, victor boot was one of the agencies top targets the cia, the f, b i and the interpol searched for boot all over the world. they accused him of

being in arms dealer, and one of the most dangerous men on the planet's boot was finally found in thailand where he was arrested and extradited to the united states. after being convicted on a myriad of charges, he was sent to the notorious communications management unit at the us penitentiary in marian illinois until the creation of the so called super max prison at florence, colorado. marion was the toughest prison in america. some of the country's most dangerous and most high profile prisoners were kept there. and even then the communications management unit or cmu was set up to keep the most dangerous of the most dangerous prisoners silent away from the press away from their friends, their family members and even their own attorneys. this is of course, ridiculous. the c m use are used mainly to silence prisoners who are not at all dangerous, but they could be embarrassing to the federal bureau of prisons because they have access to the media.
