5:06 am
surgeon elections with the very low to no less than 90 percent. 8.8 percent. we've more than not one percent of the nation. so the show, the total failure of 5 and these, for these was expected, it was a bit expected since he says he to power, he would use the power of all the rounding power the far, the political parties, the bother, the balance. and he trying to get all the power in he can. so now these 2 are now we the expected kaya sides, opponents of suggested. the new constitution gives the president too much power. it turns back what they call the benefits of the true new z and revolution of 2011. is it as simple as that is not as simple as that and like at the beginning on the 25th of july to his but optimistic about the state. but they because they needed the sage and they thought that the team of that time was the
5:07 am
reason of all the crisis denisia was leaving at that period. but since the 25th of july and that a condom and over the forms do a bit, haven't been done to the institution. this is showing the total pay off i. and of course, this is a, this what prove the theory of the code that many political parties accused him of for doing says the 25th of july. but now that the crew is trying to center all the powers in his hand. but if he's showing he's failure from one test to another, it was doing the found them with the video don't turn out and now the election, these it actions if we of he stay here. it's been over a decade since the so called arb spring, which began of course, engine is the on spread further across the region. it is the overall political situation in tennessee now seen us better or worse since those events

5:09 am
nicea today then. okay. the democratization was what teachers were looking for. and we tried a angie. she is of course tried and tried democracy and they knew the democracy. and in the 1st years of the after that it was in the post the pollution years were a trial of the democracy and the to you didn't we, the experience of democracy. but now, after the 25th of july, can you hear this is what they are feeling. last is that the are returning to a new dictatorship. if me, they made it for 11 years ago, 2 years now, do you see the fear often you his as he sees what the majority of tenicia and what political boxes are accusing eyesight of. it is a heater and you returned to indicate the ship after a good experience of democracy during, let's say, in the years after very lucian ok, the thoughts of navea show wash. political journalists lie from chin. if you're
5:10 am
thinking of ok, let's say keep a 10 ching. busy on our free cap against the democratic republic of congo has rejected neighboring rwanda's, denial of involvement in a deadly rebellion near the country. sure border. it comes after a statement by ro want this president, who said his nation has not been fueling the conflict. the problem was not created by rhonda and it is not drawn this problem. it is congress problem. i cannot be responsible for congolese or rwandan descent in congo who are being denied their rights as citizens. little semi de la d. r c armed forces are closely monitoring the evolution of the security situation in north keeble, particularly in the territories of mus cc and the reagan go. our information shows the presence of an expeditionary group of soldiers from the defense forces of per wanda and the m. 23, who are responsible for perpetrating massacres and targeted killings against
5:11 am
members of the 2 c community. the congo least try to attribute these despicable acts to the armed forces of the d r c. and seek to find an alibi to justify the aggression before the international community. the congolese army has been closely following the movements of their want and military, which is also called on m. 23 to one gauge in this task. we strongly condemn these plans to carry out a pog wrong. regional powers have been trying to broker a cease far african leaders discussed efforts and the bloodshed during a u. s. hosted summit in washington, that top diplomat from kenya emphasized that all participants must be involved in the peace talks on the leader of. but randi said that restoring stability in the region is of utmost importance. the conflict between the d. r c's forces on the so named m 23 militia group has intensified in recent months with the insurgents coming coast to taking a major city near the right one and border kinshasa. how's accused were wonder of
5:12 am
supporting m $23.00 and what essentially amounts to a proxy war. they say rwanda fritz part denies the allegations. the u. n. s reported that around 370000 people have been displaced by the violence. the bloomberg is reporting about the use suffered losses of around one trillion dollars due to its rejection of russian natural gas imports. the blocks refusal to accept regular supplies from its traditional provider as cause prices to search, leaving many european struggling to heat their homes on sparking protests, write the continent. our t contributor rachel morrison has put the following together for us. 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
5:13 am
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 sovereign to slip athletic 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 peace. there is no good. there are still many battles to be fought are countries in the situation of economic collapse and our 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 that did not serve to establish peace there. but bring misfortune here and also to invite the parliamentary opposition to shake
5:14 am
things up a little. because today they have problems with us. the french satirical magazine chevalier bdo published the cartoon ahead of sundays, 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 blow it on the fact that some employees of the u. k. whether office work from home on the 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
5:15 am
energy supply. went white, gung ho. i'm anti russian energy sanctions. italian workers and pensioners in rome came out an 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. 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 and 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,
5:16 am
the government should just freeze the energy prices. i'm talking about electricity, gas, and diesel fuel as people don't know how to pay for this any more. meanwhile, in germany, the defense minister christine lam, brecht 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 plumas that participated. none, that is 0 still work by the end of the exercise. so maybe show to do a ukraine, a favor there by not setting the case to bad. that nato was going to use them soon . know, what's israel?
5:17 am
how's unilaterally canceled the residency of a prominent palestinian human rights activist and deported him to france, where he also holds citizenship? the move had a spark condemnation from the foreign ministry in paris, as well as among fella, mores supporters. such a move constitutes a war crime under international humanitarian law, forcible deputation of a civilian from occupied territories. israel's ethnic cleansing has in its course, has the city of jerusalem seller hometown and israel's expulsion of him as a dangerous precedent. for all police teens in the city. mister murray is a lawyer and activists whom i really authorities have accused of links to terrorism . in previously served several years in jail for an alleged assassination plot at one in which he's always denied his involvement. by the way, his most recent attention was reportedly with a formal charges. his mother spoke to
5:18 am
r t about the developments in 2005. it was accused of the learning to plot against employment and to be in the trial. ok. you went to prison revenues for this, then he didn't have any thing wrong. they put him any time in administrative detention, in administrative detention. it means without any charging. and they were all the time thing about the same story. he was plotting to kill those or by he had the money is that minister tension in 201718. 41 year. and then you went out there was a charging and again in march 22 there in him and put him in the minister detention for 3 months and then another 3 months. and then another month, how long is like an example for me put on easy case because he has a french by the start, they can do it for other people and the other people or not all the people here up
5:19 am
to nationalities. so if you book, the idea of the job is that my 12 will be cool. they want to empty the 50 over into the thought we saw on the can go on with money under some background to the palestinians in jerusalem. they're generally grunted only residency, nor has really citizenship and that status can be taken away if a person at leaves the city for an extended period of time or for a certain security reasons. palestinians can apply for his release citizenship, but have to face burden some legal hurdles. israel has reported other total of about $15000.00 palestinians helping stripped off their residency status injury islam since the 1960 s most in the east of the city. the mother of the recently deported activist again, phase is really, authorities have overstepped their bodies. he discovered this like other people working in the human rights organization and the phone has been quiet
5:20 am
. so he's play, but the thing you know, when you have a spy on your phone or your privacy, it's gone, the can have the message, the kevin or the picture, they can have everything. so this is contrary of opposite to the, to the privacy and put a lot, they show the government do whatever they want. they don't care the event that formality has a french passport. and because the government who is cutting about him once again, it's not how i see it personally, but how do we see it under international law? and it's not only the cleansing of the palestinians of occupied jerusalem, but it's also considered a war crime under the international criminal court and their own statutes. and what i mean by this, this act is considered forcible deportation, often of a civilian, protected, and then occupied territory outside off and his territory. and we see this
5:21 am
happening and constantly by the israeli occupation. and sadly, this is not the 1st war crime of forcible transfer that we have seen. and we say it's illegal because 1st of all, and palestinians in occupied jerusalem and our protected civilians under international humanitarian law. and so 1st of all, i am obligating them to have loyalty to the state of israel that is there occupying power in legal under international law. hence even the forcible deportation is considered the crime and award crime kill. let's return on the program to don boss, where fierce bottles have been raging along the front lines there. the neo nazi i jar battalion is among those stuffing heavy losses. now, the unit initially funded by nationalists activists supporting the euro. my done anti government protest and coo, 8 years ago,
5:22 am
has been accused of seeking to press pro russian individuals in the region. are teas eager shit done off as the report. he of authorities have repeatedly hailed ukraine as an apotheosis of democracy, the ultimate western value that now needs protection at all costs great. his 9 ukrainians know that the strength of our democracy will be a guarantee that no tyranny to the east of us will be able to threaten europe. let us let us begin its unity. we share common values, we fight for them. i think that this is exactly what the united states supports democracy and freedom. my mobile to seal him. we must be strong until our com and victory to preserve all the we value so much. we must never stop protecting freedom and democracy. you all hear any objections to these claims coming out of ukraine now, but that hasn't always been the case. the current government and key of is a direct descendant over regime installed in the course of
5:23 am
a bloody revolution in 2014. back then, the population did not realize the consequences of speaking out against the power was about to take over the throne. and key of their handling of protesting voices was very far from democratic ways. this newly emerged video sheds more light on how the might on revolution of 2014 relied on vigilantes to crush descent through armed men and civilian clothing jump out of unmarked vehicles. they run towards peaceful protesters, round them up and take to an unknown location. policeman are snuggled together on
5:24 am
the sidewalk, idly watching this may him unfold before them. this is the exact spot from the video, but well of course, several years on basically down that street, the ukrainian tanks, they were trying to enter the city and to crush any resistance to the people, the locals who weren't, who weren't in agreement with what happened at the my done in key if they stopped the ukrainian key of military vehicles in their tracks. and basically that was the queue for what later became the new nazi ida battalion, their members, their goons, to join in all these armed men belong to the ida battalion. then anonymous to the public, the group would lay to thunder with notoriety all across ukraine. his members became the go to henchmen of the post revolution authorities operating under the black flag. yet, but oh, fiddler shortage. i was working for farmers for me,
5:25 am
and then on one of my days off, i was taken to a check point where i was there unarmed observing the police for a couple of weeks and a book then they took me to i dar, gave me a uniform julie gave me an assault rifle rippled and soon i was standing on the road with the police. we checked to local residents. i dar was standing on the loo gone side and olive horrible. they stopped cars buses. a lot of people were going towards fight over. and harker for it on the misery today. i dar stopped them, held them for a long time. they checked them and some were turned back in. nothing . i that's right. i didn't submit any documents. i didn't sign anywhere. they just gave me the rifle and that was that i dont militants specialized in doing all the dirty work that officials didn't want to directly associate with an exchange. they enjoyed all the mafia style privileges that were beginning to
5:26 am
delegate. and i darn militant, would consider that people in our village is human beings exerted pressure on the rural community. they never talk to people. they look down in everyone as if they were kinks. people had nothing to them. he ceased people's' cars, modified them and draw them around them. good luck, wrapped up. those are liberal. have repeatedly come to us, introduce themselves as representatives of the i dar battalion. they wanted to take my car. then i moved the car far way to a paid parking lot and then sold it either was connected with people who had at the local miniature enlistment office. they began to surround the buildings with cars and took people to the army. when i got a job, i was issued a bankcard with which the crenan armed forces paid me a salary. but different people came for that salary and took it all away. if they liked some one's car, they took it. if they like to business, it was as good as theirs. if some one crossed them, they were
5:27 am
a walking dead man. this meat packing plant served as a base for the ida battalion, invalid ganske republic. but it's known to locals not due to its military weight, but rather because of its tortured dungeons. this is one example of how the my them revolution in ukraine was carried on the shoulders of death squads. the most harrowing, one unfolded in odessa when dozens of anti might, an activists were burned alive in the trade union house,
5:28 am
where they sought shelter from another mob. more than 8 years on he has failed conduct a proper investigation of the tragedy. all surviving members of the ida battalion have been since shuffled with ukraine's regular army where they now serve as soldiers. showing that while keith has in detroit to sweep uncomfortable history under the rug, it has hardly abandoned its ways. when we get done of reporting from the dorm boss, ot see can want to turn attention briefly to the balkans where ethnic serbs have been protesting. alma sat a key border crossing in the self declared republic of ca, civil. the demonstrators have accused the local authorities of committing acts of oppression against ethnic serbian residents. amid rising tensions in the region, kosovo police blocked off the main road near the check point. protesters are not protrude with them. the table is what people in the region,
5:29 am
