10:16 pm
which suppress enemy firing positions from where the strikes are conducted. all other methods haven't worked the only option for an effective security zone around his approach in nuclear plants can only be the rejection of the armed forces of ukraine. moving from the front line to a distance from which they will not be able to strike everything else is a variation on the theme of the minsk agreements where russia always complies. but as deceived. deception here is too costly. only russia's tough position and successes on the front line can guarantee security at the plant, the level of danger. and the risk of a nuclear catastrophe depend on the type of weapons that are currently in the hands of ukraine. the heavier the weapons, the greater the risks i rate the probability is much higher than average, but these risks are decreasing as the russian side counters, the nuclear terrorism of the zalinski regime. ah, bloomberg has been pulled to the e. u has suffered losses of about one trillion dollars jude to rejection,

russian natural gas samples. the lumps refusals accept regulus supplies from his traditional provider has called prices. as serge leaving many, europe is struggling to heat their homes and smoking protests throughout the region . also, contrary to rachel malls and shows 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 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, flavio filippo. the leader of the populace sovereigns as lip at toyota party,

10:19 pm
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 white, gung ho on anti russian energy sections. 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. this budget
10:20 pm
will not bring any good to the italian economy. it will slowly lead us to economic ruin and the bankruptcy of our nation. so today we are on the streets to protest against the government because of its cut to public health care and education. we are here to protest against the destruction of public health care and welfare programs. 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. we are losing money today of course, but we think the government is not taking enough action. they are simply not
10:21 pm
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 any more. meanwhile, in germany, the defense minister christine lam, bracht 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 german chancellor, all i showed 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 broom is 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 sending them tanks. to bout that nato was going to use them soon though. whoops. despite the mounting problems for european western governments
10:22 pm
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, what now let's take a look at the african continent. the democratic republic of congo has rejected neighboring rwanda's, denial of involvement in a deadly rebellion. and the countries shed border. that's all for
10:23 pm

10:24 pm
wand and military, which is also called on m. 2320 gauge in this task. we strongly condemn these plans to carry out a pogrom with professionalism and respect for human rights and minds. the d. r. c, armed forces remain determined to dismantle and neutralize. all these are wand and military infiltrators. we urge the population to be more vigilant and to report anything suspicious in order to ensure the security of the people. meanwhile, regional powers have been trying to broker a ceasefire african leaders discussed efforts to end the blood shared during a u. s. versus somebody in washington opinion, top diploma. emphasize that all participants must be involved in the feast. the leader of wound the says the instability in the region is of utmost import. oh no one is listening to the conflict between the dfcs forces and the m. 23 and sergent group has intensified in recent months with the rebels coming close to
10:25 pm
taking a major city near the raw border. the d i. c has a cheese ro, amber of supporting the n 23 in what essentially amounts to a proxy war. rwanda has denied those obligations and the you are and has reported about 370000 people have been displaced by the violence. we heard from a journalist in nairobi who spoke about the allegations of rwandan involvement in the conflicts passed away. you want to say that to everyone the call that statement was and which mentors and is honest assessment because they can, we can release problem days and come a problem is squarely everyone been issue 1st. he is a greg that his country was pursuing. the people opposed to the government that people fled into that before money deal slightly, the stand when the 114 causing him problems. so he wanted to take the war to them
10:26 pm
for the bloodshed, the people he has been pursuing in that part of the country. that is the problem that run the government believes that especially the president can come in believe all the people who are formerly of the old re, jim that was called the lead by lead the who 2 people and those all those guys were involved in the fighting fled and formed a political party and the movement is poised. that is, who is full in the trend to pull the government so that that is critical. that he took the war to them and tried in china. lizzie, as that see, they can, they must fight before because that's really he has to be great. the enemy, right? where they are based. and that was like listening from the next way is hence truths . and when equally tended loose, you started sponsoring rebels in that for you. ah,
10:27 pm
i sent our senses out to the ball coon were ethnic serbs have been protesting one mass and a key border crossing in the brick way republic of kosovo. the demonstrators have accused the local authorities of committing acts of oppression against ethnic survey residence. amid roy's intentions in the region is blocked off the main road near the check point, but protesters broke through and some was a st. here's what problem. some people in the area had to say, wow, not some we are so bare. this is sir, been territory, as guaranteed by the constitution. we don't want them to isolate our 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, answer been documents, you must leave casa,
10:28 pm
they the apiece. he being troops have also entered the era and effort to restore peace and also contributed, gave us his take on what's been happening on the midst of border on the 9 barricades, you must service put the road blocks crossing and optimal. so there's been a protest authorized by sir the jets several 100 people came to the crossing. so both possible carry with that. so being flags that officers from that site to let them down to the process. so they can express their supports for the services of our kids, the other side, for courses, knowing that service we'll gather today or their due to the wires and other forms of basically for communication, the other side,
10:29 pm
fearing them to serve as might try to closer to the crossing way or where for 9 straight days muscle police officers are held alongside 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 keeping them away and they're very unfortunate and basically over act of violence. and the situation is that community issues continue to manage the process where this all is grace and more and more damages are also so the situation is very little
10:30 pm
actions. and on the other side, there are possible offices. and of course, for international forces president in large or so, patricia, you sound pretty interesting at the moment and continue to follow up. and just before we go, the faithful will cut has concluded with the covers it trophy. going to argentina, south, american te narrowly edged out the defending champions, france on piled cakes, and one of the most exciting funnels the whole time is argentine is 3rd will cut title off that previous when more than 3 decades ago in 1996, the captain's star that seemed like unless he school to goes in the championship match, finally got the truth. if he'd been missing his entire career, he joins argentinian football. legend, diego, mad dog. one of the best of all time for us is hope.
