their support the cause of the population with call for national unity, some within burning separatist flags and denounced the western back and get the self proclaimed republic pension paid last week off. the demonstrates is barricaded was to prevent the transfer of the retained prominence because of those capital. so great has all the nato peacekeepers to allow the country to send up to 1000 security personnel to northern close to protect his was some of the demonstrators in belgrade had to go to the visual persecution of the serbian population is taking place in kosovo. people are being arrested for defending their homeland to the just the serbian army should go there and the whole nation wants them there since they can no longer endure the terror in cost of those meet trevino. i came to support our brothers in kosovo who are now going through a difficult period. my family is there and no one knows you will be arrested. who will be taken depreciate and terrorized. and i don't, early this week
11:12 am
a serbian representative accuse me, christine a government of seizing power and the majority said area of which would lead to thousands off the officials from south proclaimed close it, applied to you membership belgrade condemns the move on the brussels to block it the russian, i'm past the to serbia. phase course of those e u membership bid was apparently sanctioned by brussels and advance you received sheehan. 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
11:13 am
not exclude the possibility, but rather we should actually assume that some kind of agreement was already in place beforehand. we brussels has not objected to this. and pristine air received permission to publicly formulate such a request today. ah, in paris, protest is tip to the strains, demanding changes in france, his energy policy, and calling to revise the country's relationship with russia. oh, wow. people march through the center of paris holding signs spotlighting their discontent with edith. i'm quoting for peace and liberty skyrocketing, energy prices are one cause of the public outrage and of lead to the protest is demands that carbon french president in monument crohn be impeached the president of the patriots party, to pay to the situation in the country as a literal carnage with a depression hitting small businesses and a government ignoring people's needs. no official comments have come from the
11:14 am
french government while the patriots leader gave us his comments on the current situation. lexia is also a good fit. there are still many battles to be fought. there are countries in the situation of economic collapse and are demands are very simple to withdraw from the single european electricity market in order to lower energy prices. to save our bakeries, to save our artisans, to save our factories, and to end the anti russian sanctions, but do not serve to establish peace there. but bring misfortune here and also to invite the parliamentary opposition to shake things up a little. because today they have problems with this the russian foreign ministry has called the mold. ivan government's decision to band, the 6 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
11:15 am
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 the nation. of minorities would demand international gonzales to give an adequate assessment of what happens and take all appropriate measures to correct decent acceptable situation. official exclaimed, the media outlets are to be shut down due to what they call the threat of pro russian views being broadcast across, mold over the officials are the channels coverage of the ukraine. conflict is inappropriate. on local journalists to even blogs on facebook are describing her frustration at the decision in a post. here's how she responded to the media ban. camecia fire should have to return, they should go. i'd say the emergency situations commission has banned the broadcasting of 6 channels in the republic of moldova. i consider this to be a lawlessness. it's pure dictatorship in our country. yet, unfortunately,
11:16 am
this is happening to day when the republic is fighting for development in democracy . this has all been trampled by our government, the footboard with lava, moldova parliament is also mulling over a bill lamed as scaling back the countries at soviet era legacy as lawmakers are now seeking to rename the nation's official language from moldova to romanian. many pro western politicians there have been pushing for the move ever since moldova declared independence from the u. s. there thought in 1991. this comes of it on going protests against president myers son do. and a government's handling of the country's economy. marches that been organized by main opposition, figures and the owners of the band channels. demonstrators that say they want their country to stop backing west and sanctions against moscow, which have already led to spiraling inflation and an energy crisis. another journalist who's shallow faces the balances, the government is cross a red line. it's a good thing is lawana in simple words. what happens is what we feel the most and
11:17 am
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. sorry, but what about freedom of speech? what about european democratic norm? what about the very pluralism of opinions? they talked about the election campaign. we all remember how the current leaders recently spoken russian given their election campaigns. and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of modo, and believe them whatever isn't the only country restrictive media freedom send a new round of functions that he was freezing. ortiz, european assets, russell, this season says belonging to us. his parent company on the tv nova stay in europe for a sanctioning a number of other russian channels. all of this in an effort to silence the russian perspective by leaving outlets without the means to operate. with the move comes as
11:18 am
part of a new round of anti russian sanctions agreed by the european council as well as media resources. this at the target washes military industrial complex by expanding the export ban on technologies for the aerospace industry, including across the engines and spare parts for drones. you will also ban any new investments in the russian energy sake, sound, freeze the assets of 2 russian banks. the nice package of b u sanctions or russia follows multiple similar moves though their effect has been questioned. the former austria and vice chancellor essays, the shooting itself in the foot with the restriction. oh, 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
11:19 am
prices for electricity and gas in for food in europe. more and more people will suffer from this. and his comments to marty austria is my exit vice chancellor. i explained how europe is bearing the burden for anti russian sanctions. ah, did you will the agony beasley 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, so we'll all feel like that's due to the sanctions we're doing without sheep rush
11:20 am
and 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
11:21 am
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 summit with african leaders in the 8 years. and despite the event officially being focused on addressing issues affecting africa, washington insisted on bringing russia to 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 thumb at the u. s. declared the importance of africa in solving global problems and
11:22 am
a bit to compete with africa as other partners. china and russia. morchinson has already signed deals with $15000000000.00 envoy support for the african union space for g 20 membership. the u. s. at secretary of defense, also try to accuse russia and china of destabilizing activities in africa. beijing responded by urging washington to stop using africa as an arena for power games. 100 will be. however, not all african countries were allowed to attend the u. s. hosted summit and guinea sedan eritrea molly amber keener faso didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union or 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 and africa. work 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 and the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. it's an opportunity for joe
11:23 am
biden to bring the us back to their former position in africa because united states of america are trying to take advantage of it for a long time. we've been under the leadership of europeans, it's them who colonized this and they all the origin of all these things. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe place in africa and john kerry ocoee house of our team. the whistleblowers 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 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,
11:24 am
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 of 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 mccain which dictionary has caused an uproar by adding a reference to transgender is an ace definition of a man and a woman. the dictionary now mentioned is people who identify as one of 2 gen does
11:25 am
even if they were born as a different sex while claiming that gender. emily assigned a birth and can be changed to will. cambridge is one of the last major english dictionaries to supplement is man and woman section with a trans gen dimension. and they have a spunk, some face backlash on social media. try and tell me they're not trying to erase women. can bridge dictionary have changed the definition of a woman? this cannot be accepted. we will not be erased. women equals adult human female, not someone who i tend to fight as a female. and more razor of women by men, cambridge dictionary updates definition of women. they won't stop until we don't remember what real women are any more. okay, which dictionary officials have justified that as it by saying that it came as a result of studying usage patterns. and he's aimed at ensuring that the english
11:26 am
learners are aware of how the language is used today. independent journalist shay, both se dictionaries are being drawn into agenda politics, politics, like many things right now in europe and in the us. have even opinions on this can be quite controversial. i suppose that feeds into the narrative around the sense that, you know, you're, you're meant to agree with this. you're going to agree with this whole agenda. just woke agenda and disagreeing with or even questioning a collage in some hot water. i think most reasonable people agree that the definition of a woman is, is a woman, a female, adult female that can produce children. and that, you know, deciding that you want to identify as, as a woman, doesn't make you a woman. it's not to attack of minority, it's not to victimize anybody. but again, anyone who dissent from that narrative and i think the dictionary as well are being drawn into this stamp speech. and you know, to woken us are feeding into that and, and that's the reason this is occurred many things to be changed many. yeah. you
11:27 am
know, abbreviations and realities can be changed. i think it's women are predominantly who are coming out to challenge this is move. so i think we have to listen to women, and the vast soil of majority of women who, you know, are transgender. and again, remember, did the people who are becoming women or men. and i think that's a lot of the younger is based on that, that this has to be consulted with women on a wider basis. and you know, it's a bit windows, you know, defending an individual's rights are minorities, like the company quoted on the rights of a majority to have their views heard many thanks, keeping us company here in our scenes national with i've actually found safety braces naziism is a jew, all of
11:28 am
a sudden you're placed in a position where i can defend myself. now, i don't have to be a read any more. on one hand, i'm terrified that they're going to find that i'm jewish, but on the other, i think it's so far away. i distinctly remember my mom sitting me down one night and her st. john's are going to her one guy hunch me behind my ear or somebody show now in the rest of the punches or started flying in. somebody shouted out, died, you boy died. and at that point, i knew, i remember, had an indian doctor. they came in and looked and said, ah, there's no medical reason why you should be alive. you to find something to believe . john story is a story of how the story of victory and whatever i can do to help him i would go ah,
11:29 am
