a group of frontline forces as an undisclosed location, thus, after a new york times report claim, the key of hatred skill was chief of general stuff during his visit to the bus from last april. ukraine's financial advisor also confirmed the attempt to says that washington had ask him not to carry out the assault, fearing an escalation ukrainian conflicts is affecting even those who are not directly involved in poland. 2 people, including a police or commander, sustained injuries in the explosion of the police headquarters in warsaw on thursday. reports suggest the blast was caused by a grenade launcher, that was given to the countries police chief by ukraine ortiz. rachel marston has more details. well, 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
7:07 am
get. this here may be 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 poland. warsaw 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 what 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
7:08 am
exploding gifts are something that you wouldn't even expect from a crazy acts. may be from ice says, or she'll be 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. what's even weirder is that poland zet radio is reporting that the grenade launcher had arrived from you reign 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
7:09 am
headquarters over 400 kilometers away without any one clue 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 end up. and the incident certainly won't do anything to reassure those who worry that they could very well end up spilling into europe. the russian foreign ministry has called the moldova government's decision to bung 6 opposition, russian language tv channels,
7:10 am
a cry down 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 will also qualify it as a cynical infringement of the rights of national minorities would demand international gonzales to give an adequate assessment of what happens and take all appropriate measures to correct decent acceptable situation. officials claim the media outlets were closed due to the threats of pro russian views been broadcast across moldova, as well as inappropriate coverage of ukraine conflicts. one local journalist was even blots on facebook. after describing her frustration of the decision in a post is how she responded to the bum. and he said, i should have the chain. they said, let's say the emergency situations commission has banned the broadcasting of 6
7:11 am
channels in the republic of moldova. b, i considered as to be lawless, says it's pure dictatorship in our country. and yet unfortunately, this is happening to day when the republic is fighting for development in democracy . this has all been trampled by our government. the trouble to florida are moldova parliaments is also mulling over a bill aimed its limiting the countries a soviet air. a legacy as lawmakers seem to rename the nation's official language from moldova to romanian. many pro western politicians have been pushing for the move ever since moldova declared independence from the irs sr back in 91. now this comes amid ongoing protests against president maya sunday, and her government's handling of the country's economy marches have been organized by the main opposition figure and own of the band channels. demonstrators on their country to stop bucking western sanctions against moscow, which have already leaded, to spiraling inflation and an energy crisis. and other journalists whose channel faces abandon says the government has crossed to red line. the is
7:12 am
a good thing is lawana dean simple words. what happened is we're we're feared 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 power. in moldova, 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. sorry, by one of our freedom of speech, what about european democratic norms? what about the very pluralism of opinions that they talked about during the election campaign that we all remember how the current leaders recently spoke in russian as you and they are election campaigns. and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of moldova believed them. i see that when a mold over isn't the only country restricting media freedoms in a new round of sanctions. the use freezing art sees european assets, russell, the seething assets belonging to artes, parent company arnold, sever, nor was the in europe, as well as sanctioning
7:13 am
a number of other russian channels. all of this in an effort to silence russia by leaving outlets without the means to operate financially. the move comes as part of a new round of unseen russian sanction secrete by the european council, as well as immediate resources there said to targets rushes military industrial complex by expanding the export ban on technologies for the aerospace industry, which includes aircraft engines and spare parts for drones, the you will also bond any new investments in the russian energy states or unfreeze, the assets of 2 russian banks. the nice package over you, sanctions on russia follow similar moves. the effects has been questioned. the former austrian vice chancellor as the you is shooting herself in the thoughts with the restrictions. good. 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,
7:14 am
where we ourselves actually suffered more from the sanctions. and we see rising prices for electricity and gas in for food in europe. more and more people will suffer from this. well, in a comment to our tea, austria's ex vice chancellor explained how europe is bearing the burden for those anti russian sanctions. ah, do you will they get busy don't. today we are experiencing dramatic shortages in the raw material 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,
7:15 am
so what all facebook, that's due to the sanctions we're doing without chief russian 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 will come out 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,
7:16 am
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 initiatives. and then you become unemployed. and unemployment has not brought peace because there are no nego jason initiatives. and that is what people naturally find very repulsive and very questionable. in the 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 of 18 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 have been the victims of imperialism in the past, and who see that now happening to ukraine by russia. during the 3 day summit,
7:17 am
the u. s. declared the importance of africa in solving global problems in a bid to compete with africa, all the partners, namely, china and russia. washington's already signed deals were $15000000000.00, as well as voicing support for the african unions bed for g 20 membership. the or secretary of defense also tried to accuse russia and china of destabilizing activities in africa, boards beijing kit back by urging washington to stop using the constant as an arena for quote, our games. but not all african countries were allowed to attend the u. s. host to the summit, guinea sudan, eritrea molly burkina, faso didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union all because they like diplomatic ties with the u. s. we spoke to a number of people from those countries who shared the opinions about us intentions in africa. a law firm in france in the usa, rejected in africa and june to their politics. this initiative is
7:18 am
a way to preserve their image in africa. my wishes to have a trusted partner who is only going to bring good ideas in the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. it's an oppertunity for joe biden to bring the us back to their former position in africa because united states of america are trying to take advantage that if i go back a long time, we've been under the leadership of european. those are some who colonize this, and they are the origin of all the us. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe in place in africa, or john kerry arco host of our sees the whistle bro, as program says that the u. s. had another reason for not inviting those countries to the summit, even when the new governments of these countries have pledged a return to democracy and have in some cases scheduled democratic elections that still wasn't good enough for the united states. and so these 5 countries weren't
7:19 am
invited, and i'll add that these 5 countries are 5 bad in which the united states can't make any money right now, russia is very popular in africa. china and china is very popular in africa. and the western countries are not. there not because 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 us 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.
7:20 am
and now to tensions in the balkans, west, serbia has asked nato peacekeepers to allow the country to dispatch. it's a $1000.00 police, a miniature personnel to kosovo. estimate must demos that it's a ropes in belgrade. on friday, the misstates is in the so being a capital burn to separate is flags on denounced western backing of the territory. sanctions of europe said to one ethnic serv demonstrates his barricaded streets to prevent the transfer of a so been inmates. the country's capital is what some serbians have to say. a persecution of the serbian population is taking place in kosovo. people are being arrested for defending their homeland to the, to the serbian army should go there and the whole nation wants them there since they can no longer in the terror in castillo's 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 terrorize about the serbian representative has accused the pristina
7:21 am
governments of seizing power in the majority said area of metro visa hours after officials from south came kosovo, applied for a membership belgrade condemned to move and urge brussels to block it but the russian ambassador to serbia that the cost of those e membership bid was likely sanctioned by brussels in advance need. she, she and not all members of the european union recognized kosovo as an independent state. that means the e, 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 your membership. but in this case, the european union does not allow any kind of independence. that is why we should not exclude the possibility,
7:22 am
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 today. ah, yes, be i treated twitter as if it were a subsidiary. well, as the conclusion made by investigative journalist, mad tobii, whose revealed links between the bure on the social media giants. i made accusations that twitter was bunning accounts to the f b i 's request tweezers 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 pardoned with security contractors. and think 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, jo, roth, and screenshots you can see an alleged f b. i accounts identifying

a number of other accounts to be scrutinized, including those that promoted republican party candidates during mid term campaigns . as a result, twitter subsequently suspended many of the accounts mentioned house republicans are now considering opening an investigation into the matter. the threats of violence pandora's box of leeks revealed the platform violated many of its own rules among them. the infamous hunter, biden laptops scandal, which was allegedly censored by the company and the former years present. donald trump's account, which has been to the request of top management, meanwhile form at new york university professor and author michael rates and well took aim of the violations of free speech. 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 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
7:24 am
themselves and whether they're, since they are basically an organ of 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
