all the time the said committee to return back home, there is no support from the united nation. i commission again, united michelle don't care about chug or send people with headlines this hour, a civilian is reported. killed a also the fall. several years ago, many people were unaware if this reclusive unit was real or just to spine chilling this, but the launch of the special military operation in ukraine. so the wedding could propel to start them both in russia and beyond. a wagner, group of private military companies,

i have one of the russians most successful fighting forces in the clean conflict. europe is risk by a wave of progressive, a certain price inflation limits the energy prices, a rush and gas in both those cost to block about $1000000.00 in losses and ethnic serbs protests on mass key check point in cost of against what they call unprecedented oppression by reason, verges. all native people step in the area. ah, good morning. good afternoon. good evening. wherever you are in the world, welcome to just gone. i am here in the russian capitol. it's great to have you at this time, right? hm. all right, let's take a look at today's top stories. vessels say that at least one civilian has been

killed and several others wounded in the ukrainian artillery of franklin struck a hospital in the city of the nest, the facilities he took a number of direct auxilary. hey, sewage cool, severe internal damage. it was far filled with patients at the moment of the attack or residential areas, other residential areas and the regional capital was targeted leave at least 2 people wounded him, partially destroying homes shops. ivan dormitory, we heard from a surgeon at the hospital visiting a provincial pollute, a mass of artillery shell, hit this hospital. it destroyed a wing of the neurosurgery department on the 2nd floor. i don't understand why they're targeting hospitals, but it is what it is. we had to evacuate patients to the basement for safety, this purposeful intimidation of people. this attack on a hospital is surprising. are there tanks here? are there soldiers here?

there are only regular doctors here. well, a ukrainian military have been mish selling this if the of the nets, the center of the city for the entire day at least 4 occurrences have taken place today. the latest lake shell to the hospital. i hear in the center of the ned scans, apparently that hit the neuro surgical sensor, children's sensor, as well as a vascular sensor. all local authorities are reporting that there are several people that were wounded, but i guess we'll find out why the morning, about the exact number of people that dell, a victims of this ukrainian shelley. the 1st time that ukraine showed the nest on sunday was at 6 o'clock in the morning and later on another 3 occurrences and the shelling place

in the very heavily populated areas in the center of the city. been happening here or last month or so. and so far, many people have been killed. many people have been wounded as ukraine. the military have been firing from multiple launch a rocket systems, a grad and older high caliber made weapons against this to 1000000000 areas here in the next outskirts of them that have been under fire as well. and we'll find the exact number of casualties on monday morning. i didn't russia west in belgrade region one, a civilian has been reported, killed an 8 others wounded as he can and forces far tore across the border. surveillance camera caught this movement of impacts.

3, local officials say a hold feet was, was 60 apartments, and dozens of calls was damaged in the pack. a russian air defense system report to the managed to shoot down at least one ukraine, a missile that had been heading, tools, residential area elsewhere in the republic, those fist fighting for another. strategically important city as russian forces make advances with methodical tillery attacks. one of the main roles in the russian offensive has been performed by the wagner group. a private menchie company was gained recognition for his prowess on the battlefield. i'll received access the training camp in southern russia. his odyssey is corresponding with an exclusive report.

ah, quite a man. several years ago, many people were unaware if this reclusive unit was real, or just a spine chilling miss, for the launch of the special military operation in ukraine. so the wagon grew propelled to start them both in russia and beyond. today have to be given a unique opportunity to see where the group is based, where going to visit several locations on our mission is to understand just to this private military company is i got was, is it much more to work in at the wagner group was founded in 2014 by russian business, many of gainey per goshen. his goal was to defend the national interest of russia and the russian world in dumbass and beyond.

a vertical dawslet and our team got to spend a whole day with the group. take a look at its different training activities and learn about its daily routines. ah, yeah. okay. that's what i think this military base serves as the groups main training center. it includes a shooting range where service men hone their skills using different types of firearms. soto, heavier guide. it's located in the south of russia. people from all over the country come to train here local. but when at this range, we provide military training, starting with simple exercises and, and gradually increased difficulty leveled. it begins with individual training activities and ends with seen training as an assault unit. this is also where we

train specialists to use different types of weapons, such as mortars, automatic grenade launchers, and our p, jeez. sniper teams also undergo training here. each instructor has a lot of experience and has been deployed to multiple flash points. this range is why people used to learn how to operate, specialize military vehicles such as infantry fighting because an armored personnel carriers here, missouri, our topic for this class, ducking under a tank. we're working on your morale and resistance to stress north. go turn a route in faster with ah

well and, and now let's take a look at the living conditions or wagner's new recruits. while they train at this base with acid hello. tell us about your living conditions, homo for their modest when we have everything, we need it. as you can see, we have beds a still and a table. we come here after training which can even take place at night, because there are many you, comas, and they only to get quality training. wagner, members have different levels of combat experience and different story on how and why they joined the group. what unites them, though, is the reasons for being here, patriotism left for their motherland, and a sense of duty to protect their countries. interests was, i'm from vulgar grad. i used to be a combat, samo fighter, i served in the army. i joined the company to find my calling in the military sphere. well, is the wagner groups philosophy were so fo 2 busta,

similar to ours. so common purpose is to defend our marvellous. busy luna, wagner fighters get all kinds of training here as side of learning to use firearms at the shooting range. they are taught to provide 1st aid training. mrs. bergen, in military medicine instruction means teaching personnel how to help themselves and others on the battlefield with a focus on the most typical scenarios. here we're working with different devices that help stop bleeding while teaching our guys how to evacuate wounded solar is poor. how delicate that meant this fair dishes from the dawn bass, while wagner gripped soldiers courageously fighting in the special military operation. they're always on the front lines where the conditions are the toughest visible i thought you might need to have members say they're essentially taking part in the special military operation on a volunteer basis. however, legislative initiatives have been prepared to regulate their activities

several years ago. we prepared a professional draft law in march of this year after the started the special military operation, we decided now was the right time we realized that private military companies were already involved in the fighting. but we thought it would be appropriate to have legislation in place, govern all aspects of engage in private military companies, including the wagner, the government needed to have a say in the hiring of these extremely professional people who are like go over the wagner groups activities, do not stop for training fighters at military basis, or even participating in a special operation in ukraine. ah, i gather that in november, this year, the crew made international headlines when it's very publicly opened the pmc wagner center as its official headquarters in san pix back.

ah, in america you are the placenta located here in russia. northern capitol is a small hub which attracts engineers military and information technology experts who can support innovative projects such as designing unmanned aerial vehicles and other equipment ah, to become another center at the wagner center is a techno park, as well as a center for john les and engineers willing to work for the benefit of their country. it's our response to silicon valley if you will. we're trying to engage scientists to welcome breakthrough projects, along with military engineers and all those who have innovative ideas, where presently preparing to hold a hackathons centered around drain operations. who i believe a hell of law within a measure, weeks the center has become a bustling meeting place for developers of innovative military technology company for young engineers. and they are ordered. more experienced colleagues come here

with valuable ideas. we connect them with those who have been means to make these new projects or reality, like factory owners. all of this is done for the sake of boost in rushes defenses. we're outside of developing the countries potential in the field of military technology and made her objective of the center is to counter the information war unleashed against russia. william, it's a wet space for jan lesson, right. as contributing to popular telegram channels, warmly afforded for essentially a group of volunteers. at one point, we started identifying fake news in the media a so launch cyber funds on telegraph. we currently have over 112000 subscribers. we searched for fake news in western media on social networks. i'm debunked. however, the echo in this program would try to lift a veil of secrecy on one of the most elusive. and yet, one of the most written about private military companies in the world with the aim of helping you to understand the reasons behind this creation and see where it's

headed. we hope we have helped, ah staging to learn more about the new sweating, florida. boy in depth reporting about the wagner group on its role in the comfort. check out our website, r. t, dot com on the exclusive documentary, wagner, p. m. c. contracts with the motherland. quite unnecessary, and aid to ukraine's presence lens. he has confirmed that he is forces planned to fascinate russia's top general. the new york times has reported that u. s. officials stripe an end to the plot. the united states tried to stop ukraine from killing a top russian general american officials found out the general valeri grass him of

was planning the trip to the front lines, but withheld the information from the ukrainians. worried that an attempt on his life could lead to a war between the united states and russia, ukrainians learned of the trip anyway, the workaround, so sudden, let me reveal a terrible mystery grass m of was in the zoom and we fired at dry. some of it happened when washington had reported the alt key to cool off the fact that ukraine forces and ruddy launched it. it failed the effect to fascinate the general that dozens of other russians orders were reportedly killed. we heard from author and conflict expert, thomas roper, who said the us has been trying to set boundaries for the korean military new york times. it's very often a publishing ah, such kind of facts. i remember, for example, a failure or a secret her mission in of ukraine. she could service and bill arose. now

seems that us one to show key if somehow our borders for whatever it looks like a signal looks like a 2nd either to keep either to moscow, to both of them. maybe to keep trying to stop some for the escalations, maybe to moscow to send the signal that even p s still has some is to is still playing according to some rules. we have very many are news in the last time that the u. s. a shared a secret information with russia. and again, maybe it's a signal to russia that the us doesn't want an escalation, like, like killing me, commander of the, of the russian army. it might be a public signal, but we can only speculate, but it looks like that bloomberg has reported that the e u has suffered losses of about $1000000.00 due to its rejection of russian

natural gas in ports. the rocks refusal to accept regular supplies from his traditional providers called prizes to serge, leaving many europeans struggling to heat their homes and spoke in process for other read them all think contributes that rachel miles and says her opinions on the issue. french protesters hit the streets here in paris over the weekend, and absolutely freezing sub 0 celsius temperatures because well, protesting vigorously is probably far cheaper to keep warm than sitting at home and turning on the heat these days here in europe. and the marchers don't seem to have any problem. identifying those responsible for their energy was pointing the finger at nato and tipping their brace to european commission. president ursula vander, line by chanting. ursula shut up, flung filippo, the leader of the populace sovereigns as lip at 3 other party who routinely speaks in favor of a strong, independent france. explain just how bad things are right now for the average

french citizen calling for an end to europe, sanctions against the block. so an energy supply from russia and denouncing them as a hindrance to piece. there's also a good, there are still many battles to be fought. 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 saver factories, and to end the anti russian sanctions that would 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 friend satirical magazine, shabby ed dough published a cartoon that had of sunday's world cup final of france against argentina. joking that the french would have to choose between turning on the tv to watch the game, or heating their home a reference to the cost of energy and the french government's constant brow beating

of its own citizens to cut down on consumption. elsewhere in the u. k. for example, things are looking even more dire with the british press reporting that the persistent, frigid weather there is leaving british households on the brink of rolling power cuts, if not, outages and blackouts. now the energy secretary is trying to it on the fact that some employees of the u. k. whether office work from home and some of the time and may have underestimated the cold weather event. or maybe the u. k. government just underestimated how much it would ultimately deregulate its own energy supply went, went gung ho. i'm anti russian energy sanctions. italian workers and pensioners in rome, came out in opposition to the maloney governments 2023 budget, demanding that it do more to offset the cost of living crisis there. where some of this budget will not bring any good to the italian economy. it will slowly lead us to economic ruin and the bankruptcy of our nation. to day,

we are on the streets to protest against the government because of its cuts to public health care and education. we are here to protest against the destruction of public health care and welfare programs all cleaned up. so we are on the streets to protest against the government budget, which from our point of view does not protect the weakest groups. it proposes measures in favor of a few and not for the people who need it most. more than $15000.00 belgian union workers protested in brussels on friday, demanding higher wages to offset the cost of energy and inflation. we receive wages that are fixed at a certain level and with the rise in energy prices. many people have found themselves unable to pay their bills. the government has to make some strong decisions. we have been fighting for years. we demand change most of georgia. we are losing money today, of course, but we think the government is not taking enough action. they are simply not assuming their responsibility. the government should just freeze the energy prices

. i'm talking about electricity, gas and diesel fuel is people don't know how to pay for this anymore. me while in germany, the defense minister christine lambert has been under fire since earlier this month for the low ammunition levels that berlin has been left with to protect itself as it sends military assistance to ukraine. so now in german chancellor, all i've shown says that, well, there won't be any tanks for ukraine next year. oh, and speaking of german tanks, berlin's puma, infantry fighting vehicles were such a big head during the recent training exercise that of the 18 pumas that participated. none, that is 0 still works by the end of the exercise, so maybe show his doing ukraine a favor there by not saying them tanks too bad that nato was going to use them. now work. despite the mounting problems for european western governments and citizens,

washington is still forging ahead with a new defense budget. and congress is authorizing $500000000.00 more than what biden asked for to continue funding ukraine security assistance. so that makes it a total of $800000000.00 for the fiscal year 2023, which is basically going straight into the bargain of the u. s. military industrial complex at levels even far above spending during the korean or vietnam war, or at the peak of the cold war. so it's business as usual for washington, seemingly oblivious to the toll that feeling this conflict is taking on citizens from ukraine to europe. ah, well said our tinges now to the bull close, where think serves hub in protesting on mass as a key border crossing in the break way republic of kosovo. the 7th ages have accused the local authorities of committing acts of oppression against ethnic serve

in residence. a men rising tensions in the region. these blocks off the main road near the check point, but processes broke through suddenly saying, here's what people in the area to say. we're not thumb we are, sir. bear. this is sir. been territory as guaranteed by the constitution. we don't want them to isolate al a territory. we have come here to drive home the message that we will fight for kosovo. i consider these the beginning of the 3rd serbian uprising as we promised them back in 2008. if you don't have a serbian identity card and serbian documents, you must leave customer. nato peacekeeping foods of also into the area in an effort to restore peace and also contribute to gave us his take on what's been happening on the midst of border on the 9 barricades. you must services. there are blocks crossings in optimal. so there's been

a protest authorized by serbia jones, several 100 people came to the mexican crossing. so both possible carry with flags and officers from that side to let them come to the cross. so they can express their support or just search on the barricades. the other side for forces, knowing that service you guys are today, are there to be wires and other forms of basically for to cation the other side, fearing them to serve as might try to closer to the crossing way, or where for 9 straight days muscle as our help along side to the rest, the down bodies. there's been some flashes with the serbian police and

the answer is you're being arrested then they're asking the police officers to come closer to the crossing. so they can basically be close to the other side and police forces are giving them away and they're very unfortunate and basically over acts of violence. and the situation is communities is continue to manage the process where this all the place and the more and more the demonstrators are also so situation is very little actions. and on the other side, there are possible lease officers. and of course for international forces president in those situation is pretty interesting. and then we will continue to follow

up. washington has express, exclude increasing worries about the developing partnership between russia and iran . the c h u says he's wary of moscow antibiotics funding there. reach, of course, the middle east. historically, there's a lot of mistrust between russians and iranians, but they meet each other right now. currently, the united states is witnessing the emergence of the 1st stage of co operation between the 2 countries. they are already influencing the course of events in ukraine, and if they strengthen such relations can dangerously affect the situation in the middle east. and while the u. s. is against letting other countries influence the middle east. washington itself has a long history of meddling in the region. the invasion of iraq, the us back hopefully of libya's government, and the martha support surgery in syria. and just a few recent examples. we heard from

a juvenile expert at the university of tahoe on his says, it's natural for iran to lean tools. russia the united states, wants to keep the current world order intact. and that's what they mean by international law. they mean a world order where they dominate, where they control, and where their european vassals and their proxies across the globe and their client regimes. they controlled this empire. but the fact is that this empire is humbling. the united states, as a, basically brought this misery upon itself, is only natural that iran is going to tilt towards russia than towards your after all, the historical injustices towards he ran towards afghanistan, syria, venezuela, cuba, nicaragua, yes'm and libya and the list goes on and then of course,

nato provocations their advancement eastward to europe without any real need to do so and bit they have no legitimate ground to stand on and to complain to you, run about it's close relationship with russia at any level. i'm just before we go, the faithful little cup has concluded with the coveted trophy going to argentine, the south american te merrily edged out the beth, defending champions. france penalty kicks in. one of the most exciting finals of old time is all this 3rd world. carter half the previous wound more than 3 decades ago in 1986, the captain, a star that seemed a little messy school to golf in the championship match. and finally got with truthfully he'd been missing his entire career. he joys argentinian football legend, diego, mary donna, of more the best of all time. frances hopes would fast as they were looking to

become the 1st team in 60 is to win 2 consecutive will come ah, i beg middle a well a long cross. so i will be back to the top of the out with more international news with hello and welcome to cross. are all things considered? i'm peter level american president abraham lincoln say, a house divided against itself cannot stand. this famous phrase appears to apply to europe today. when it comes to the conflict and ukraine and russia, can there be

a united europe without russia? ah, discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess martin j and mary cash. he's an award winning journalist and commentator. and here in moscow, we have it in a row, he is the founder of the center of political strategic analysis, track pole. right, gentlemen, cross that rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want and i would appreciate it. well, let's start out with martin martin. i think we would all agree that at least formally, europe is united in seeing russia defeated in ukraine. ok when lose, but then you go down a level and well, what does that really mean? and that is really which plaguing the western world and their approach to this con, like because you have president the french president mac crown you have the german chancellor shows talking about.
