o'clock in the morning. now these are the kinds of craters that can be found all around the stadium. and according to the director of the don boss arena, at least $25.00 glass windows have been completely blown out from on casa, have r t done as crew public me, while russian defense minister think a showing it has finished inspecting a group of frontline forces at an undisclosed location, as off to a new york times report claimed keith had tried to kill russia's chief of general staff during his visit to the battle front. last april. ukraine's presidential adviser also confirmed the attempt and says, washington, i had to ask, he has not to carry out the assault. failing an escalation, the developing story in the balkans now where a large number of serbians are rallying. it's

a key border crossing and moving cost of the demonstrators. so speaking out in support of the serbian minority in the break away province, pro russian banners are also being seen at the rally. so the police have blocks off the main road in the area with nato led peacekeeping trips. also present the scene . several arrests i proportionally be made off to some serbians tried to bypass the security measures that they sit on rest follows months of simmering tensions in northern cost. off the local authorities tried to impose new id restrictions on serbs who live old travel that on friday protest. isn't the serbian capital court, the national unity, awesome. within burning pulse of those 14 flags and denounced, the western backing of the self proclaimed were public tensions about that. last week. when ethnics demonstrated barricaded roads, he prevent the transfer of a detained permanent serbia national. the cost of those capital great is off nato piece. people to allow the country to send up to

a 1000 security personnel to northern coast. to protect in said he's was some of the demonstrators involved, great time to say the persecution of the serbian population is taking place in kosovo. people are being arrested for defending their homeland, that the serbian army should go there and the whole nation wants them there. they can no longer endure the terror in cost of those metre. i came to support our brothers in coast about who are now going through a difficult period. my family is there and no one knows you will be arrested and will be taken depreciate and terrorized. and serbian representative of accused the pristine, a government of seizing power in the majority said, area of mich would be ours. off the officials from south proclaimed calls about applied for you membership. bell gray condensed in these and urged brussels to blockhead, the russian ambassador to serbia. faith. cause of those e membership bed was apparently sanctioned by brussels in advance. you see she and

not all members of the european union recognized kosovo as an independent state. that means that you, 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, 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 into the ukrainian conflict as affecting even those who are not directly involved in poland. 2 people, including a police commander,

have sustained injuries in an explosion at the police headquarters in warsaw on thursday. the port said the block was caused by a grenade launcher, that was given to the countries police chief by ukraine at ease. rachel marston has more on the story. well, that time of 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 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 colin's 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 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 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 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 not have any borders any more between itself and ukraine or at least not. busy 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 and 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 and up spilling into europe. the russian foreign ministry has called the mold. ivan, government decisions have been 6 russians 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 were also qualify. 8 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 are to be shut down due to what they call the threat of pro russian views being pulled cost across moldova, the officials on the channels coverage off the ukraine. conflict is inappropriate when local journalist was even blocks on facebook. after describing her frustration at the decision in a post, here's how she responded to the media ban. amelia, but she was the chair and they said glad to see the emergency situations commission has banned the broadcasting of 6 channels in the republic of moldova. i considered as to be a lawlessness, 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. whatever's parliament is also mulling over a bill aimed at scaling back the country that soviet era legacy as lawmakers are now seeking to rename the nation's official language from moldova into romanian

money. pro western politicians there have been pushing for them with ever since moldova declared independence from the u. s. sr in 1990. 1 is coming on going protests against president myers sunday went a government handling of the country's economy march. if it been organized by main opposition, figures and the owners of the bands channels demonstrates as say they want their country to stop backing western sanctions against moscow, which is already later spiraling inflation and an energy crisis. another journalist who's channel faces the band say is the government has crossed a red line, is the good at boston sla. wanna do in simple words. what happens 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 it's of your 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 what above, freedom of speech. what about european democratic norms? what about the variables heroism of opinions that they talked about during the election campaign that we all remember how the current leaders recently spoke in russian during their election campaigns. and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of moldova believed them not over the only country, restricting media freedoms, new round of sanctions. the e. u is freezing to ortiz, european assets were full. the seizing us as belonging to ortiz, parent company, no tv nova stay in europe as well as functioning a number of other russian channels. all of this in an effort to silence the russian perspective, by leaving out lives without the means to operate. well, the move comes as part of a new round of anti russian sanctions agreed by the european council as well as media resources. they all set to target russia military, industrial complex, like sponsoring the export ban on technology for the aerospace industry,

including aircraft engines and staff, heart drones. you will also bond any new investments in the russian energy sector and fries the assets of 2 russian banks. my package o v u sanctions on russia followed multiple similar moves though their effect has been questioned. the former austria and vice chancellor says the shooting itself in the foot with the restrictions 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 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. and his comments to last he austria is ex, vice chancellor, explains how your work is bearing the brunt for anti russian sanctions.

ah, did you will they get a busy day to day? 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, so what all facebook, 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 gas, which is very expensive, which is also not environmentally friendly. and which will then be transported to europe. i shift. 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 nego jason

initiatives. and that is what people naturally find very repulsive and very questionable. washington has wrapped up his 1st son with african leaders in 8 years under by the advent officially, being focused on addressing issues affecting africa. washington insisted on bringing russia into the equation. it's very powerful because you hear countries that are, were 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, some at the u. s. declared the importance of africa in solving global problems and a bit to compete with africa's other partners. china and russia. washington has already signed deals with $15000000000.00 and voice support for the african unions bid for g 20 membership. the u. s. at secretary of defense,

also try to accuse russia and china the stabilizing activities in africa. they do responded by acting washington to stop using africa as an arena for poly games. however, not all african countries were allowed to attend the us hosted summit guinea sedan eritrea. molly and the king of faso didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union, nor because they lack diplomatic ties with the us. we spoke to a number of people from those countries who shared their opinions about us intentions in africa. we've worked a lot of it, france in the usa, a rejected in africa. it's due to their politics. though this initiative is a way to preserve their image in africa. my wishes to have a trusted partner, who is honest to bring good ideas in the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. a. 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 into this a long time,

we've been under the leadership of europeans, it's them who colonized us and they all the origin of all these singles. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe's place in africa. john carry on to host of ortiz, the whistleblowers that say, 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 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 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. the f b, i treated twitter as if it was a subsidiary. that's the conclusion made by investigative journalists that much tabby is revealed. links between the bureau on the social media giant. i made accusations that twitter was binding accounts at 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. inter twitter included

the department of homeland security, which partnered 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, your ross, and screenshots you can see an alleged f b. i account identifying a identifying a number of other accounts to be scrutinized, including those, the promoted republican party candidates during mid term campaigns. as a result, twitter 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. the air revealed the platform, twisted many of its own rules, among them the inter ms hunter biden laptop scandal, which was allegedly censored by the company. and for me, you as president, donald trump, the count which was banned at the request of top management. we only spoke with an

internet ecosystem expert from singapore city on there. he says that the whole scandal is about the social media giant trying to keep hold of his uses attention. i think it's a, it's a distraction strategy he is trying to. are you 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 need to see are more and more clear things happening on social media without which tables and listen, we'd want to platforms. i think this is an attempt to continuously have some problem or the other, or some dust gold or the other are swallowed on twitter. so that people never leave and people are lashaun to work. i mean, i don't think her are there is too much to read all within our with and what is so

i want to speak spoken about were twitter files. and i mean most of doctor which is being spoken about was known and some way so it's just an unnecessary distraction. i think the look a distraction is to keep or a circle whose users attracted to our builder platform. and so they keep going back home for our, for what it was week to now did. ah, it's it's, it's a good strategy if you were trying to keep your users in a, in place and engaged. and i think he, when he well can little is uses are and i think that's where a lot of the focuses are to get more about the latest installment of the twitter files on their previous 5. we have more details on our website, r t dot com. you can also find the latest development of the scandal and leave your comment or see on the incident thanking me, molly law must have been on a banning spree of his own. has to have twitters international rivals, master don,

and kill, have both found themselves t weightless. t 2 engine sharma brings as the story abruptly suspends india and i will call was clearly kind of do a re handle on who was recently created. it will be a few days ago. it was the credit posted by celebrities and we, i'd be wanting to join the platform. and this comes a day off to mosque. suspended doesn't go down. so prominent journalists covering here, including those from cnn, washington post as well as the new york times. however much listed suspension of some journalistic out after running a boy on the platform as he usually does now, who found this house twitter for the suspension all this particular clearly panel and then also question the rationale behind this. more one of the crew

handles on twitter just got bad for walk because we compete with twitter. so masted on the also got blocked today. how's this free speech and what world are william and then meanwhile, united nations as well as your own communion, has threatened to sanction mosque on actions taken by twitter recently as far as twitter or twitter india, there has been no response on the suspension of who's handle as yet, thanks for keeping his company on the international this sunday. we're back at the top of the hour with the very latest with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation,

let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with with mm. welcome to worlds apart. the woke may have low become a global village, but the rules and last house practiced in one corner of that village are often very opposite of what's allowed or afforded in the other part as developed countries.

continue vocalizing that concerned about the degradation of the environment. they still explored much of that garbage overseas and continue investing in high pollution energy projects in developing countries is authentic, environmental justice even possible before the earth passes the point of no return to discuss that i'm now joined by saying that he's on the hassan chief executive of the bangladesh environmental lawyers association. reason one is great to see a good to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. i'm particularly grateful for this conversation and for the chance to talk to you because i really like your approach. i think you approach this very complicated, very science, the issue in a very human way and that is easier for an ordinary person to understand. so instead of talking about, let's say.
