there is no medical reason why you should be alive new to find something to believe . john story is a story of ho story, victory and whatever i can do to help him i would go ah, you crane allegedly targets are residential area in lieu guns with us applied high miles rockets, killing 3 civilians on leaving 5 wounded. i mean, the story is the shape the news this week. ah, we believe this move to quench any attempt of the ukrainian forces to cross the forest that is surrounding all of us. as by thing continues in the dom boss, all corresponding follows russian troop from the front lines bottling for key positions in the region on the africa lead it some, it's wrapped up in washington with america's top diplomat,

bringing up the west colonial path to criticized russia with a very warm welcome to you from a very snow in moscow. it's sunday and that means it's the weekly. hey, all nazi, i'm peter scott was great, happy with her. but 1st we start off in the dorm bus, which has come under ukrainians. shelling the latest strikes on the la guns for public have killed 3 civilians, including forces allegedly fired 3 missiles from us, supplied high mas rocket launchers of the town. a shaft gear that's according to local officials. a number of civilian buildings were reportedly destroyed in the attack. 5 people were also wounded. now this comes after heavy shelling struck the done. yes. republic on saturday. local authorities say a number of grad missiles were fired at the residential area by the ukrainian army . ukraine hasn't yet commented on either of those incidents,

but we did hear from some locals in the next. as one of the rockets fell in my yard with the whole house is cracked, the windows have been blown out. if i could, my neighbor's house has suffered more damage. i shall, i think they need to be destroyed as quickly as possible. this has been going on for 8 years ago. these has crossed all lights already on union show. and when you, my thing is they are impenitent, they say the rights hecta sullivan in the military, but is the same thing. they all the same thus have ages, did she? i'm russian defense minister said j show you have finished inspecting groups off front line. russian forces that's after a recent neil times are full, they're claimed keith had tried to eliminate another official on his visit to the front lines back in april, ukraine's positional adviser also confirmed the attempts and the washington asked if not to carry out the assault thing in escalation, meanwhile, the russian defense ministry says its forces destroyed a ukrainian weapons depot, taking out a number of rocket launch assistance that it believes that carried out attacks on

the next. several ukrainian assaults have been also repelled in little guns republic, according to the m. o. d. o t correspondence eagerness done. it follows russian troops on the front lines as a battle for key positions in the region. in these woods, just outside crim and ny danger lurks around every tree. what used to be one of ukraine's national parks is now one of the most heavily contested swathes of land and the dawn bass. need me to put on there for the ukrainian forces, cross the river, and their mobile units shell, our checkpoints. our intelligence identified some of their strongholds here. their main tactic is to attack, so they mostly work in mobile groups. artillery is useless here. walking single file, we follow the only past deemed safe towards brushes. positions our guide leads us to what looks like a long abandoned hut, but the 1st impression of desolation is deceiving. inside we meet russian soldiers

from the mortar, battery hidden in the thicket. not far from here. this is our battalions command and observation point. we gather all the information about the targets in our battalions frontline. we decide what targets to attack with our mortars hanging with globally, this move is to quench any attempts of the ukrainian forces to cross the forest. there is surrounding all of us. oh,

what you see here is the equivalence of close quarter combat in the world of artillery. this mortar team is only about 2, maybe 4 kilometers away from that targets. bigger guns and tanks provide extra fire power from further away to. right now, the woodland here is in the grey zone, and whichever side concedes the ambition to take it will have to give up neighboring villages and towns to suffering a painful tactical defeat maker's done of reporting from the dong bass r t. i know the news this week the ukraine conflate is a fight scene. even those who are not directly involved in poland. 2 people

including a police commander, sustained injuries, an explosion of the police headquarters in warsaw on thursday. no report suggests that the blast was caused by a grenade launcher, that was given to the countries police chief by ukraine ortiz. rachel mazda has more details. well, it's that time of the year again when everyone's ripping open holiday gifts and is either genuinely thrilled with what they get or they're putting on their best acting performance to pretend that they are out of politeness. just imagine the absolute worst gifts that you could get this year, maybe an ugly christmas sweater or ugly socks, or a self help book. that leaves you wondering if maybe people think you have problems that need fixing, or perhaps the world's cheapest drug store chocolate. now, however bad, all of those might be, at least they didn't blow up right in your face and send you to the hospital with minor injuries like the gift that some officials in cave, reportedly gave to. the commander in chief of pollings war saw police euros,

love syndic. now why would a gift explode? well, because it just happened to be a grenade launcher, according to the polish press. quite the novelty gift certainly beat, so would be cushion, i guess. now the chief had been in ukraine earlier this month, according to poland interior ministry, where he quote met with heads of the ukrainian police and emergency situation service and received some gifts. one of which exploded um exploding gifts are something that you wouldn't even expect from a crazy acts. may be from ice says, or here the uno bomber. but not from the officials of a country that you're bending over backwards to help, as is the case of poland amid the conflict in ukraine. so warsaw has now asked ukraine to clarify what happened. usually when something is sent to

a police station that then blows up on the police chief, it doesn't usually just result in the cox politely, asking for an explanation. was even weirder is that poland zet radio is reporting that the grenade launcher had arrived from ukraine to neighboring poland by train. so where are the customs and border checks there? and how does something like that get off the train in poland, in the border town of sham shall and then make it all the way to the warsaw police headquarters over 400 kilometers away without any one flew in, says the european union not have any borders any more between itself and ukraine, or at least not poland. what is this santa's magical train that just sales right across the european border, right into another country with a grenade launcher for chief heroes. love who's been a good boy all year. it has to make you wonder what else is being sent through to

europe by train, from ukraine under the radar. it's not like the west has been able to reliably keep track of where all the weapons that it's sending to achieve, ultimately, and up. and the incidence certainly will to anything to reassure those who worry that they could very well end up spilling into europe. the reason for ministry as cold, the moldova government's decision to bung 6 opposition, russian language tv channels, a crackdown on free speech. we can see that this been an unprecedented actress, political censorship, an outrage against the principle of media pluralism. and the gross violation of the right to freedom and access to information to which the political leadership of the republic regularly declares its commitment. in light of the unprecedented consequences of its implementation for the russian speaking part of the country's population. we also qualify it as a cynical infringement of the rights of nation,

of minorities would demand international gonna say sions to give an adequate assessment of what happens and take all appropriate measures to correct decent acceptable situation. visuals claim, the media outlets were closed due to the threats of pro russian views being broadcast across moldova, as well as inappropriate coverage of ukraine conflicts, while local journalists was even blocked on facebook after describing her frustration of the decision in a post is how she responded to the been camecia should return, they should watch the emergency situations commission has banned the broadcasting of 6 channels. in the republic of motive, i consider this to be a lawlessness. it's pure dictatorship in our country. and you know, unfortunately this is happening today when the republic is fighting for development in democracy. this has all been trampled by all government mold overs, parliaments. he's also mulling over a bill this aimed at limits in the countries, soviet era legacy as well make it seem to rename the nation's official language for

mold oven. to romanian. many pro western politicians have been pushing for the move ever since moldova declared independence from the u. s. s. are back in 91. now this does comb amid ongoing process against president my thunder and her government handling of the country's economy marches have been organized by the main opposition figure and owner of the bon channels demonstrates as one country to stop bucking western sanctions against moscow, which already led to spiraling inflation and an energy crisis. another journalist who's also face of the bun, says that the government has crossed a red line, which is a good thing is lawana in simple words. what happens is, what with you the most and hoped until the last that it would not happen, because there are certain red lines that no one has ever crossed, no matter what regime is in the power in the old over. it seems to me that whether a tv channel works well or not, should always be decided by the audience. the fact that these channels had not covered the agenda, the way the resume would like to be heard. story. but what about freedom of speech?

what about european democratic norm? what about the very pluralism of opinions that they talked about during the election campaign? we all remember how the current leaders recently spoken russian, you and they are election campaigns. and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of motorola believed them. moreover, isn't the only country that's restricting media freedoms in a new round of sanctions. the ear is freezing. art sees european assets so, so this season assets belonging to ortiz, a parent company, and also been novice the in europe, as well as sanctioning a number of other russian channels. all of this is in an effort to silence russia by leaving outlets without the means to operate financially. and the move comes as part of a new round of anti russian sanctions agreed by the european council. as well as the media resources they are said to targets rushes military industrial complex by expanding the export ban on technologies for the aerospace industry, including aircraft engines and spare parts the drones. the you will also been any

new investments in the russian energy sector and fries the assets of 2 russian banks. the 9th package of a u sanctions on russia follows multiple similar moves. though their effects has been questioned. he form austrian, vice chancellor as of the use shooting itself in the foot with the restrictions. and we've been through a lot lately. we've survived the sanctions policy that misled us under the pretext that the sanction policy would bring russia to its knees. the russians have doubled their business. there is no question of bringing russia to its knees. it's over. on the contrary, we see how austria harms itself and how europe harms itself, where we ourselves actually suffered more from the sanctions. and we see rising prices for electricity and gas and for food in europe. more and more people will suffer from this. elena comment to our tea. oscars ex vice chancellor explains how europe is bearing the burden for anti russian sanctions. aah!

bag and a biblical today, we are experiencing dramatic shortages in the raw materials sector in the gas sector in the electricity sector in the energy sector, but also price explosions, which of course affect industry the economy. but above all the citizens and the people who then have to experience massive price increases. in some cases, households or experience a 6 fold increase in prices. and people are really severely burdened and struggling with poverty. many companies are on the verge of closing down, which is accompanied by rising unemployment. ah, so we'll all face due to the sanctions. we're doing without sheep rushing gas, in which a lot has been invested. russian gas was essential for central europe's economic and industrial prosperity in the last decades. also,

thanks to the good price. that's brought prosperity, not only to germany, but also to austria. and now we're seeing that, of course, due to the sanctions policy. we're suddenly supposed to switch to american fracking gas, which is very expensive, which is also not environmentally friendly. and which will then be transported to europe by ship. ah, so is it, it's only mac allowed to show the situation is becoming more and more dramatic. and this leads to many protests and demonstrations in the streets where people peacefully point out this undesirable development and say, it's not acceptable. we damage ourselves by imposing sanctions. yes. and in the end, people are confronted with the catch phrase that they have to freeze for peace. and then you come to the conclusion. well, freezing doesn't help because unfortunately, there is no peace because there are no negotiation and halves, and then you become unemployed. and unemployment has not brought peace because

there are no negotiation initiatives. and that is what people naturally find very repulsive and very questionable. and now to tensions in the balkans where serbia's asked nato peacekeepers to allow the country to dispatch up to 1000 police and military personnel to kosovo. i submitted mass demonstrations interrupted in belgrade on friday. demonstrated in the serbian capital, bern, separatists flags and denounced west and the boston bucking of the territory sanctioned the ropes it. when ethnic sir demonstrates his barricaded streets to prevent the transfer of a serbian inmates to the country's capital is while some serbs have to say, the persecution of the serbian population is taking place in kosovo. if people are being arrested for defending their homeland to that of the serbian army should go there and the whole nation wants them there since they can no longer endure the terror in kosovo. me, trevino, i came to support our brothers in kosovo who are now going through

a difficult period. lee, my family is there and no one knows who will be arresting. who will be taken to preach tina, and terrorized a serbian representative as accused the pristina government of seizing power in the majority serv, area of metro visa, just hours after officials from the self proclaimed kosovo applied for you. membership belgrade did confirm the move, underage brussels to block it, the russian ambassador to serbia, that the cost of those e. u membership was likely sanctioned by brussels beforehand. you see she and not all members of the european union recognize kosovo as an independent state. that means that you does not have a unified position and cannot achieve overall consensus when it comes to this issue . however, if we take any country in the balkans as an example, even the process of submitting the application for you membership and a public declaration of such intentions is always agreed at the very political top of the you in brussels. this is not something that is done by the balkan states

themselves, like other candidates for even membership. but in this case, the european union does not allow any kind of independence. that is why we should not exclude the possibility, but rather we should actually assume that some kind of agreement was already in place beforehand. brussels has not objected to this, and pristine air received permission to publicly formulate such a request to them. in other news this week, washington has wrapped up its 1st summits with african leaders in 8 years. and despite the event officially been focused on addressing issues, a fight in africa, washington still insisted on bringing russia into the equation. it's very powerful because you hear countries that are, we're here in washington this week, gonna kenya. so many others that had been the victims of imperialism in the past. and who see that now happening to ukraine by russia. during the 3

days summits, the u. s. declared the importance of africa in helping solve global problems in a bit to compete with africa. the other partners, namely china and russia. washington's already signed deals with $15000000000.00. and voice supports for the african unions bid for g fancy membership. the secretary of defense also tried to accuse russia on china of destabilizing africa. beijing responded by urging washington to stop using the confidence as an arena full power games. but not all african countries were allowed to attend the u. s. hosted summit, guinea sudan every tre. molly and vicki foster didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union or because they like diplomatic ties with the u. s. we spoke to a number of people from those countries who shed their opinions about us intentions in africa. was a law firm in france, in the usa rejected in africa due to their politics. this initiative is a way to preserve their image in africa, all wishes to have

a trusted partner who is on it to bring good ideas in the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. it's an opportunity for joe biden to bring the us back to their former position in africa because united states of america are trying to take advantage. if i go by for a long time, we've been under the leadership of europeans, it's them who colonize this, and they all the origin of all these things. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe in place in africa. john kerry aucker, who's the host of the art program. the whistleblower says that the us had another reason for not inviting those countries to the summits, even when the new governments of these countries have pledged a return to democracy. and of, in some cases, scheduled democratic elections that still wasn't good enough for the united states . and so these 5 countries weren't invited. and i'll add that these 5 countries are 5 that in which the united states can't make any money right now,

russia is very popular in africa. china, a china is very popular in africa. and the western countries are not there, not because they, they ignored the needs of the child of the african people and the african governments for many, many years. the u. s. presence is literally a one of, of war. the only real u. s. presence in any of these countries is a paramilitary force. look at molly, for example, or mauritania, or any of the other of this a hell countries needs year. we only know by accident because of a leak, that the united states has a military presence there. a military presence that has not been approved by congress, whose job it is just to, to kill people. and to try to keep these host governments in, in power the f b. i treated switzer as if it was

a subsidiary. well, that's the conclusion made by investigative journalist a much t b who's revealed links between the bureau and the social media giants and mid occupations . that's what it was budding account. so the f b, i 's request to address contact with the f b. i was constant and pervasive as if it were a subsidiary federal intelligence and law enforcement reach into twitter included the department of homeland security, which partnered with security contractors and thing tags to pressure twitter to moderate content between january 2020 and november 2022. there were over 150 emails between the f b i and former twitter trust and safety chief, yo roth, and screenshots you can see in a legit f b. i accounts identifying a number of other accounts to be scrutinized, including those that promoted republican party candidates during the mid terms. as a result, switzer subsequently suspended many of those accounts. and house republicans are now considering opening an investigation into the scandal. the twits of files

pandora's box of leagues revealed the platform violated many of its own rules among them the infamous hunter, biden laptops scandal, which was allegedly centered by the company. on the former us president don trump's account, which was banned at the request of top management. to get more about the latest installment of the for the files on the previous 5, we have more details on our web sites are g dot com. you can also find the latest developments of the scandal and leave your comment on the incident. so do stay tuned. meanwhile, format, new york university professor, north of michael, write them all the plums of such be said to free speech violations. this is a violation of the 1st amendment of the united states, which does not permit the government to dictate expression to dictate speech. and we're seeing a plethora of data that shows, in fact, that they did that and

a lot more. and one has to wonder whether they're actually meddling in elections themselves and whether they're, since they are basically an organ, the democratic party, the f, b i. that is, we're starting to wonder whether the f b i in fact has some call culpability, with reference to covering up election crimes on the part of the democratic party. it's utterly illegitimate and it's known as economic fascism. when you have this kind of collusion between the state and these corporate players and you're saying they're so tightly knitted together, that there's almost no extricating them. and it's as if we have a state run media here. this is very, very reminiscent of totalitarian regimes. there's politicize ation here. they said that they were looking at domestic violence, extremis. and we know what this has to do with this is about utterly silencing

the opposition to the democratic party. meanwhile, ilan moscow's b. on his own binding spree, the accounts of tourists with his rivals, masters on crew, have both found themselves, treat less feeds, wondering sharma pixel the story. and the mom brought me to spend the indian guy, the coolest query kind of do. the query handle on call was recently created will be a few days ago. it was quite a bolstered by a lever. she is wanting to join the platform. then comes a dance off to mosque suspended. doesn't a little gown so prominent. joining us covering him, including those from cnn, washington, both as well as the new york time. however mosque limited suspension or some journalistic out. after running a boy on the platform, as he usually does. now co founder how clam to death for the suspension. all of

this particular where he had them and they also question the rationale behind this move. one of the cool handles on twitter just got banned for one, because we compared with twitter. so mastodon also got blocked today. how's this free speech and what world are we living in? mean i nation from, well, you know, can union has threatened to sanction mock on actions taken by twitter recently as far as twitter or twitter india. that has been a norris form on the suspension or who handle us yet union foreign ministry has slammed the un resolution condemning the countries human rights accusing the sponsors of the documents of using international institutions to put pressure on the islamic republic. now the resolution was adopted with 80

countries voting favor 29 against on 65 abstaining. the assembly also express concerns over recent spike in death penalties. we look at how some western countries use a selective approach when voicing their condemnation of certain events. these kenneth morphine explains the narrative from both western media and politicians is outrage that iran is executing political prisoners. moral condemnations are pouring in from the highest levels of power, the german foreign minister wady, an he's a him, victims. these executions are blatant attempt to intimidate people, not for committing crimes, but just for taking their opinions to the streets, just the wanting to live in freedom. we denounce this draconian treatment in the strongest terms of east harsh sentences. and now the 1st public execution, at least are meant to intimidate iran's people. they're meant to suppressed

a sense. and he simply just underscore how much ron's leadership actually fear is its own people killing someone for speaking up against the government is certainly an outrage. the problem is that when you look into the details, that's not actually true. my g rezo ron of ard was not executed for protesting. so here's what actually happened. in this video, you can see the man stabbing to boss. see jeez, the boss siege is a volunteer force. it's a branch of the islamic revolutionary guard core. so you could say that he essentially did the equivalent of stabbing to death to police officers or members of the national guard, stabbing to law enforcers to death. that's a bit different than simply raising one's voice. and speaking up and all summer saying this decision by iran has to be condemned. others are pointing to a similar case in the united states. where was the. busy moral outrage when kevin

johnson was executed back in november, he was scheduled to be executed for killing a police officer. but then his prosecutor stepped dan, asking for the death sentence to be vacated because it was imposed with racial bias . the state of missouri disagree, the surviving victims. johnson's crimes have waited long enough for justice and every day longer that they must wait is a day. they are denied the chance to finally make peace with their loss. now you might expect to see a huge amount of. busy moral condemnation poured on to the united states from europe, except there wasn't any that seems to be aimed only at countries that the west isn't aligned with iran and its allies. we can see the an acceptable do use of capital punishment as a tool to repress, to the protest us in the new package of sanctions for human rights for your nations . we are targeting don't responsible for this continued repression against protest

as at 21st 21 listing. and these are the lines, the support of the japan union to the daniel people and responding to the deliver of the daniel drawers to russia. 8 persons and entered this has been listed. is there really any room for european officials to condemn any one for mistreating protesters? after all, we can recall their crackdown on anti locked down demonstrations in the past. ah, so we have 2 different countries. iran and the united states. both countries executed some one for killing police officers. one countries action was met with wide spread condemnation. and the other was met with deafening silence from the world community. so that raises questions is the so called world community concerned about spreading violence.
