8:07 am
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 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 he's 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 yarrow slugs 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,
8:08 am
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 ices or, you know, the unit 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 train
8:09 am
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 clue in, says the european union, nor 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 law, who's been a good boy all year asked 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 keep ultimately and up. and the incidence certainly won't do anything to reassure those
8:10 am
who worry that they could very well and up spilling into europe. the russian foreign ministry has called the moldova government's decision to ban 6 russian language tv channels. a chronic found on free speech. we can see that this been an unprecedented active political censorship and all trace against the principle of media pluralism. and the gross violation of the right to freedom, an 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 would also qualify it as a cynical infringement of the rights of national minorities would demand international accommodations to give an adequate assessment of what happens and take all appropriate measures to correct a decent acceptable situation. officials claim the media outlets ought to be shot down due to what they call the threat of pro russian view is being broadcast across moldova. the officials are that the channels coverage of the ukraine conflict is
8:11 am
inappropriate. one local journalist was even blocked on facebook, of describing her frustration of the decision in a post. here's how she responded to the media ban. camecia shouldn't 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. unfortunately, this is happening today when the republic is fighting for development in democracy . this has all been trampled by all government motor parliament zolphi mulling over a bill and scaling back the country's soviet era. legacy as lawmakers now seeking to rename the nation's official language from all don't even to remain in any pro western politicians that have been pushing for the move ever since moldova declared independence from the u. s. s. saw in 1991. this comes and they don't go in protests against president my son do and take governments handling of the country's
8:12 am
economy. while he's a being organized, find main opposition. figures on the owners of the bonds channels demonstrate and say they want the contract to stop backing western sanctions against whichever ready lead to spiraling inflation and an energy crisis. another journalist who's channel faces the bonds, the government has caused a red line. it's a good thing is lawana in simple words. what happens is what 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 the power in the 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 by 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 of you and their
8:13 am
election campaigns. and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of mandolin. believe them all day long, isn't the only country restricting media freedoms and a new round of sanctions. the e u is for using ortiz, european assets, brussel receiving assets belonging to audio, parent company on tv nava say in europe as well as sanctioning a number of other russian channels. all of this in an effort to silence russia by leaving out this without the means to operate financially. well, the base comes as part of a new round of anti western sanctions agreed by the european council, as well as media resort staff at target russians military industrial complex. by expanding the export found on technologies for the aerospace industry, including at cross engines and spare parts for drones, the you will also bond any new investments in the russian energy sector. the fries, the assets of 2 russian banks and mines package, b. u sanctions on russia. following multiple similar move,
8:14 am
though their effect has been questioned. the former austrian vice chancellor say to you is shooting itself in the foot with the restriction we've been through a lot lately. we've survived the sanctions policy that misled us under the pretext that distinction 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 are. selves 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 in a comment to r t. austria is x, vice chancellor explains how europe is bearing the burden for and t washing functions. blue bag and a busy day. today we are experiencing dramatic shortages in the raw materials sector in the gas sector in the electricity sector in the energy sector,
8:15 am
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. lulu, with all faith, that's due to the sanctions we're doing without cheap 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
8:16 am
gas, which is very expensive, which is also not environmentally friendly. and which will then be transported to europe. i 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, 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 negotiation initiatives. and that is what people naturally find very repulsive and very questionable washington has wound up. it's vast summit with african leaders in 8th
8:17 am
. yes. and despite the events officially being focused on addressing issues, facing africa, washington insisted on bringing russia into the equation. it's very powerful because you hear countries that are, we're here in washington this week. ghana, 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 day summit, the usa clad the importance of africa installed in global problems and a bit to compete with africa. the partners, china and russia, washington has already signed deals with $15000000000.00 on voice support for the african union bits for g 20 membership. the us secretary of defense also try to accuse russia and china of the stabilizing activities in africa. paging responded by urging washington to stop using africa as an arena for power games. however, not all african countries were allowed to attend the u. s. hosted summit guinea
8:18 am
sedan ever tre. molly, the keynote also didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from african duty and all because they lack diplomatic ties with the u. s. we spoke to a number of people from those countries who shed their opinions about us intentions and africa. what a law firm in france in the usa, rejected in africa and june to their politics. this initiative is a way to preserve their image in africa. my wishes to have a trusted partner who is on enough to bring good ideas in the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. ringback it's an opportunity for joe biden to bring the u. s. back to their former position in africa because united states of america are trying to take advantage that if i go by for a long time, we've been under the leadership of european was them who colonize this and they are the origin of all the us. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe in place in
8:19 am
africa that i don't care. we are co host of ortiz, the whistleblowers state. the us have 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 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 bag in which the united states can't make any money right now, russia is very popular and africa, china, china is very popular in africa. and the western countries are not. they're not because they, they ignore the needs of the change of the african people and the african governments for many, many years. the u. s. president is literally one of, of war. the only real us presence in any of these countries is a paramilitary force. look at modeling, for example,
8:20 am
or more attain ya or any of the other of this a hell countries news 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 government in in power. now 2 tensions in the balkans where bel great has asked nato peacekeepers to allow the country to send up to 1000 security personnel to northern costs of she protect local subs. protests is a gathering, get a key crossing to show support for the serbian minority in the break away province . russian band is also being seen. the rally police have blocked off the main road in the area to prevent clashing between locals. the latest on rest follows weeks, it's simmering tensions, and nolan casa voe off the local authorities tried to impose a new id,

8:22 am
it to the dallas off the officials from south became close though, applied to your membership belgrade, condemned the move on to brussels, to block it, the russian i'm back to the, to serbia, said, co. supposing you membership it was apparently sanctioned by brussels in advance. you see chileans, not all members of the european union recognized kosovo as an independent state. that means the e. u 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, but rather we should actually assume that some kind of agreement was already in
8:23 am
place beforehand. brussels has not objected to this and pristine air received permission to publicly formulate such a request that the f b. i treated twitter as if it was a subsidiary. and as the conclusion made by investigative journalist mats, tabby who has prevailed, links between the bureau and the social media giant, amid accusations that twitter was banning accounts, that the f, b, i's request to address contact with the f b. i was constant and pervasive as if it were a subsea. jury. 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 20, 20 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 an alleged f b i count identifying a number of other accounts to be scrutinized,
8:24 am
including those that promoted republican party candidates during mid term campaigns, as a result which subsequently suspended many of the accounts mentioned house republicans and now considering opening an investigation into the matter. the twitter files pandora's box of lakes revealed the platform and twisted many of its own rules among them. the infamous hunter, by the laptop scandal, which was allegedly censored by the company and for us president donald trump's account, which was banned at the request of top management. we only spoke with an internet ecosystem expert from singapore sunni on there. he said that the whole scandal is about the social media joint trying to keep hold of its uses attention. i think it's a, it's a distraction strategy. he is trying to create the da strong arm by releasing bees at creating stalking controversies. almost every 2nd or 3rd be bigger. so social media is like addiction for people who are already there. they
8:25 am
need to see more and more clear things happening on social media without which tables and kristen, we'd want to platforms. i think this is an attempt to continuously have some problem on the other or some dust go to the other are swallowed on twitter so that people never leave and people are lashaun to work. i mean, i don't think or are there is too much to leave all within our with and what is a, what a speech for and about which would have eyes. and i mean most of that which is being spoken about was known in some way. so it's just an unnecessary distraction. i think look, a distraction is to keep or a circle has users attracted to our new platform and so they keep going back for our, for what it was week to now did. oh it's, it's, it's a good strategy if you were trying to keep your uses in place and engaged. and i
8:26 am
think he really well can we go with those are right now. and i think that's where a lot of the focuses get more about the latest installment of the twitter files on the previous 5. we have more details on our t dot com. you can also find the latest development of the scandal and leave your comment or 2 on the incident. thank you. let me while in on must have been on a banning spray off his own as 2 of twit, his international rivals, master don and kate have best both been at both found themselves, tweet less. i'll teach when sharma brings us the story switch abruptly suspends india driver could quickly do this, but to get a handle on who was recently created will be a few days ago. it was quite a bolstered by celebrities and we are wanting to join the platform as it comes a dance off to mock suspended. it doesn't look down so prominent, joining the,
8:27 am
covering him, including those from cnn, washington, both as well as the new york times. however, mosque lifted suspension or some journalistic goals after running a boy on the platform, as he usually does. now co founder, how can i'm the tutor or the suspension all of this particular query handle and then also question the rationale behind the small 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 will even in me, my nation for well, as you know, can union has threatened to sanction mosque on actions taken by twitter recently as far as twitter or twitter, india can sub that has been a norris form on the suspension or who handle us yet.
8:28 am
in low earth orbit, washington should keep us companies competitive internationally. that's according to us based center for strategic and international studies nets, latest reports, funded by amazon and space, ex report labels, china as the main player who could undermine the u. s. dominance in the broad bonds constellation fair. 6 notice that well paging expands its interest to close developing countries, washington should continue to cooperate with relevant commercial companies and increased regulation in the industry. we spoke to director of the china national association of international studies these days that china is not interested in a space race with the us. and the global power should 1st and foremost have respect for other nations. it is completely absurd for anyone to believe that china wants to replace the united states as the next. the super power of the world. china
8:29 am
wants to embrace every other country as an equal rather than trying to impose it's a fuel on top of any other country in the world, including the united states. china has be a major force for marketed economy and free trade. china is the largest trading lation in the world, and china is the largest trading problem that with more than 130 countries in the world, it is completely new because for anyone to believe that they can hold. busy china's economic growth, or even throw it into turmoil. china will continue to make huge investments commitments to the space program. channel space program is for peaceful use and china is also willing to cooperate with any other country in the peaceful use of space for overall benefit of mankind. therefore, if you talk about a space res, i'm
8:30 am
a little bit puzzled as to why should any other country have both space raised with any other country? for example, because space should be used for peaceful purposes and full of benefits of mankind as a hope. you're well, hey, thanks for joining us here in our the international web, back of the top of the i with the very latest data with it's amazing to see people share, right? because as man we talk about being strong, you know, i mean everybody wants to be strong man but.
