[000:00:00;00] a ah, and his late his act of censorship of russian media, the utah gets off his parent company with another round of sanctions order and get free of the company's assets in here with the un condemned the terror attack on russia. humanitarian offices in the central african republic, which left the head of the nation seriously with the thought is claim on the claim, us on your faction and supplied drones when used by ukraine. in recent swanson,

russian territory fund washington saying that your west weapons have no use to hit targets inside russia. a very welcome to send for pm here in the russian campus. and this is all the international related world news update is good to have you with a you is tightening the screws on media freedoms, his latest package of sanctions, freezing ortiz, european assets, in an effort to silence russia. my colleague fiorella is about discuss the developments that with that marina costa. 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 sanction she's power company are not to be novice the in europe. so basically brussels is season farms and acids belonging to our 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 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. 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 sanctions in total and $171.00 organizations. and they're really wants to make sure that it, it hits rush out 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 russia's 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 to, for example, that hasn't worked. we know that there was a pole in germany recently where people that still wants to watch and still find ways to watch it. and you, and i know that you can watch a r t 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 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 saw down the other angle of the story. we 1st

a former c i a analyst on the burg associates larry johnson. he says the west is telegraphing its weakness by censoring go tentative viewpoints. the you cannot handle the truth. they keep projecting their own weakness their own faults, their own inability just to maintain proper armies and field. ready the ammunition to keep them supplied. governments that engage in this kind of conduct are reflecting their own weakness their own impotence, because they have their powerless to stop russia from working with other countries like india, like china, like south africa, even brazil, to form an independent group of nations that are not beholden to the west it's, i've done a lot of television, i've done all the major american media, abc, cbs, nbc, all the cable channels, fox news. and i've done the b, b, c, r t is the only news channel were i've been asked to come on and you don't

interview me in advance to find out if i'm going to say what you want to hear. you let me speak what i think. and i think that is a remarkable tribute to r t. so this is a desperate attempt by the west to try to keep their people blinded in an ignorance . but what's going to happen is reality will intrude. one of these days ukraine will collapse, and russia will have its victory. and at that point, the west europe in particular, is going to have to decide whether they want to continue to freeze in the dark, be without oil and gas. or if they want to become grown ups and start dealing with russia in a respectful way and have proper relationships. the united nations has condemned a terror attack on the russian humanitarian mission in the central african republic, which left its chief in house with the lofty, puzzled, bald,

exploded in his that particular incident. oh, we obviously very much hope. oh, that is germany mixer recovery oh we have not been asked or in any way to assist with the, with the investigation. we obviously condemn for 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. mister 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 re age some that some speed with regards to finding out who is behaviors and

gathering some of the evidence. but miss 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 coin 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 of 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 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 it 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, 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 has come out with a favor and they 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 their 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 fed to be a moderate of sand side between the love, the local rebel groups and government forces. and this is the role that he has said to have played in twin t lane team for a manually averse with the current situation in central african republic. and never has led to saw my speculation as to who could be involved. but a man who knew mister city well is his colleague in the russian house who also told as the following thing about bonham. 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 round 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 expenses

soon. so we need his help in our work to bring peace to the country. what 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, one whose we count on our government on those very, to assist us to take the way for peace. many thanks to those who've been asking about me to his condition, not 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 mr. city remains in critical condition in hospital, in the central african republic, and then he is now facing a fight for his life. the u. s. has produced and supplied drones to ukraine to target russian infrastructure. as according to arti sources, as this,

my washington climbing such weapons 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 several stapo, as well as the belgrade curse can varone as regions associates. familiar with the stories hold is the final drone assembly and test flights were conducted near polish airports, which was used as the main nato hub for supplying weapons to key. if the you a, these are said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of odessa and equivalent rogue, the allegation contradicts washington's claims that weapons applied to k,

if have not been used to bomb science 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 spots. we are, the president said very clearly, some time ago. we're not enabling ukraine to strike the i'm beyond its borders. were tied us assholes, lieutenant colonel tower, and korea tell ski safe the use of us manufactured drones. that 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. certainly the assistance with the american weapon systems that are been sent to ukraine along with the american operators and trainers for that equipment.

concerns about special forces being forward being forward, located in distracting countries, including poland but also the elaborate lithuania lapierre. those guys are allies there. so this is just one more step in a very dangerous direction. providers have arms, they're making a lot of money. their stock is growing and it's doing well. there 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 a crate and going into this war effort relating to a current ukraine to them. this is good business. well, we have requested a response from the pentagon at the reports, but i get to hear anything back. we'll keep you updated and he's 10 explosions. wrote the don't yet capital overnight. local authorities say a number of grad miss. i was with 5 as

a residential area. one of the buildings that was hit reportedly caught fire while windows were blown out, the entire floor was destroyed and another. when is the same miss? all fragments also struck a car in during a family in 5 o assist the tunnel r t. arabic has heard from local residents about life and the siege it is even if i die, the auction. 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 literally, but there was massive shelling. 2 old women got so scared they fainted. we hope someone will help us. not a day goes by and, and that's 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. ukrainian shells on fires and western weapons are raining down

on the heads of civilians, residential neighborhood, places of worship, and hospitals, and become legitimate targets of the key of regime the showing by ukrainian forces of this church and the centre of don't ask because irrefutable evidence of cubes, deliberate, and planned crimes, medical who's lists of targets is consuming more and more sole. but meanwhile, president vladimir putin has visited the command center for the military operation in ukraine. that he heard a report on the progress of the operation and meetings with commanders. we became acquainted with the work of a joint off of russia's armed forces. j. u k prime minister has reportedly ordered an audit of the country's arm supplies to ukraine. the movie said to have sparked fears that riches soon. i could splash military a to care of which is already supposed to 1000000000 pounds this year. the old, it is reportedly aimed at providing clarity on how exactly their british weapons

have been used by ukraine's army british military official stress that the coming months are crucial to winning the battle on the ground is comes amid waning support for the proxy war among some european nations across in germany, opposition politicians are urging berlin to stop sending to key f, which they've accused of trying to drag other countries into the conflict sped inside zalinski stick. zalinski does not defend western values at all. he is corrupt and his band opposition parties and media in ukraine, where he is responsible for war crimes. fewer shut the door of peace negotiations with russia at the legislative level, and is allowed those accused of cooperate him of russia to be tortured and killed cilenzo lensky. carries out terrorist actions and tries to draw more and more western countries and to his war fruit targeted euro vacation loss, robert de medium gloves. your childhood. for me,

while ukraine's president has reportedly been denied as speech as sundays, world cup final. cnn says thief as chief personally, it turned down by the miss lindsey's request to have a statement televised ahead of the kickoff in canton. miss. now discuss these developments where they're ralph, it's he, ny, my and chairman of the german council, the constitution and sovereignty. many thanks for joining on the program. so it's nice to see a so what do you make of these latest incidents so which some people have described as ukraine fatigue? well, i see that there's definitely ukraine fatigue in our country in germany because people can't hear it anymore. they don't want to continue to be told that they have to suffer in order to help you crane. there is certain fatigue suddenly olds in the united states of america that we had even mr. biden. warm enough. so i think that

we are nearing the closing stages of this that is going on. it may sound a bit cynical than i that i call it is about it is obviously a stage on which is a performance being held. unfortunately, with real sacrifices by real people on both sides. well, what i see coming to an end is a conflict that is already a proxy one always has been the proxy war between the united states of america and russia as well as china. so now if you allow me to say that we have the holy german empire of european vessels state, that is one of the news as of this conflict because we bought into it. and also of course, ukraine is one of the news of this conflict because they pay huge price being destroyed. military wise says, are there any winners? yes, the united states of america and russia will be the winners who can, at the end,

sit down together and copy as well as the germans and europeans are left destroyed on the end of well no energy and whatever. you have a total extent, smith and i'm i do think people in other countries are growing increasingly tired of hearing about on having to pay for the western support for kids as well. that economy is struggling. well, we are definitely in switzerland. we see it also in france where people are increasing the asking to balance it off such sanction regine because we see that our energy costs are going through the roof. and when i mention switzerland, there's a big issue about neutrality. they want to regain so often proudly presented neutrality, but they obviously can't. so they outside. ready this conflict with germany and france and they are drawn into it,

although the nation really doesn't want some german politicians. i understand what they government to stop all mean ukraine. now, while accusing kias of trying to provoke contract, other countries into the conflict, with your reaction to that well, be always fairly set to translate charleston. we do not want germany to become party in any especially loyalty and europe. sending alms is one thing, but mr. hall is criticized iran for, for sending drones to russia to use them and just conflict. and he said that i, ron has become a party in this conflict by that. what is the difference when we said tanks, we all job part in the conflict. and of course, are constitutional article 26 of the basic law, which is our constitution has prohibited that even published from the code of article called paragraph 18. 1 of the drum and criminal code

saying that whoever's doing selim driving the german people into a war is subject to a penalty of at least 10 years to life. so mr. charles's very sending the one we all know don't do it early for the take away. i'm either got gas and oil. nope. we also don't want to one day find ourselves seated again, like imagine 45 when the major cut hats. i mean while the u. k. prime minister has reportedly demanded in order to the countries more than 2000000000 pounds worth of arm supplies to ukraine. you expect such a probe to turn up anything surprising or even scandalous? well, it is scandalous, but it's so ok now, i mean for the 1st time i read in the, in the times of london, the day of fish really miss that they are on the ground with their so just in case

of and ukraine. so we will expect some will cover actions like bumping off the pipelines not stream one the last stream to which i believe the british and maybe with the help of of the sweetest and americans. but it is obvious that they now openly joined the conflict and even the times of london is writing that same book cover actually will follow. i think this can also read down in london. i mean, what is happening with bridges and russia like like to try me bridge. i mean, what about the topics? i'm not suggesting anything here, but i would, if i was, i would be very nervous about that. and some european aid is like the french presidents have been openly accusing the u. s. have caching in on the military conflicts on economic crisis in europe. paul said, but does it look like you countries are prepared to seriously stand up to

washington. no, certainly not. i mean, we saw that mister mac draw had been in the white house 2 weeks ago, so he tried to edge to stop by to not to push through the agenda. to full extent, the intellectual reduction lacked a quality in the united states, which was a $400000000000.00 us dollars package. and all that to make it attractive for european industries to find energy costs to high here to move to the united states and get tax with bankers or subsidies, whatever in the united states. so we wouldn't be industrialized in europe, and mister mac croft course, he could stand up in a different way to mister by and ask for some exceptions, but we, germans kind of because we are still up to but we are still under the age of the puts them agreement from $945.00, we do not have a peace treaty. we do not have submarine that into full extent and didn't back and

do with with us what they want. they obviously have to plan to industrialize us. i mean they, they also have to draw was from ramstein, still going on. they as a, as buying on us. i mean, all these approved that we are not suffering. that was the problem, mr. charles, he, he's replaceable, whoever has chancellor germany would have the same situation. would not have the guts to stand up to the americans because we are lot, several, we need to constitutional history. that's what it tomorrow as a position to groups. and finally, before we go, i'd like to ask, well, you make a thief as reported refusal to let ukraine's president speak at the world cup final tomorrow. well, i believe sports should be sports and i never understood this that they use takes all good cop school for political announcements. i also criticized

government german government to want to push through with their symbols for every b g q on being displayed that this is nonsense. our team was distracted our good football us last because they could not make in mind what they have to say to that . and i think, mr. lensky, he will been probably in the academy award for his appearances on whatever stages mobile phone screenings. but i don't think that this is for feedback relevant for him. many thanks for speaking to us today. we've been speaking to ralph cain on my chairman of the german council for constitution on suffering, say, thank you. thank you for having this and thank you for joining us, a all our see international as always, plenty more of the latest news updates. discussion on debate on our website r t dot com. thanks for joining us today.
