number ah, for ah, the headlines right now. what are the international that's the russian and bell, russian presidents happen just wrapped up talks in minutes, discussing broad plans, the continued cooperation of bilateral trade and industrial projects. high on the agenda, of course, along with issues all national security c, e u has pushed through a price to count on russian gas that are leveled much below what was initially proposed. despite some pushback from at least 9 members. south africa as president celebrates reelection as the head of the countries ruling party for a 2nd time. this is despite months of allegations of corruption and to

peru where police raid opposition party offices. after more than 20 people die in antique government demonstrations. that as a certain western partners reaffirm support for the country's new embattled president with the top stories for now from moscow. it's great to have with us here at our tea international. it's a big program of your own use right now. and the talks have just wrapped up the russian and beller, russian leaders discussing increased corporation within the collective security treaty organization. following lengthy meetings monday and bella ruscetti, in a press conference following the toll. he's president alexander lucas shanker said . s is 400 and it's kind of missile systems transferred by russia are already now ready for duty. vladimir putin meantime. and besides that, bilateral trade between the countries is constantly on the right. you can,

what is the order he schedules you say to lease with trade is growing at a good pace. we expect the by the end of the year, the percentage of our trade would increase even more when it comes to large scale bilateral projects and industrial projects. not only bella russians need these projects, but also needs them. since many farm brands have left russia to see as t o chairmanship will be transferred to bella luce next year. i would like to emphasize that such a joint form of cooperation is not our idea. the united states doing the same with nato. the tense situation of the boarders forces us to do so. you so you kept o as in the e u has agreed to our cap. the price of russian gas at a $180.00 euros per megawatt per hour at the new limit will pair with current sanctions on russian crude, but was reportedly met with pushback from at least 9 e e. u members. let's get the take now from artie contributor rachel master. while the ink is even dry on this new

e gas price kept struck to day and already the hungarian foreign minister is sounding the alarm on more potential tinder, being added to this total dumpster. fire of bad policy that the block has created for itself. it's too bad that doesn't keep us warm here in the you because everything would be all set. so have a listen to the hungarian foreign minister. what he had to say. the price cup to be introduced to natural gas is bud harmful and dangerous, but it's still being introduced despite this. so today it's another big bottle with brussels now hungry knows what it's talking about. when it comes to price caps, they tried imposing a cap on gasoline and diesel prices just in the past year. specifically to protect hungarian households in the run up to the countries parliamentary elections in april. and they ended up having to nick, sit earlier this month. why? because foreign companies had their fuel shipments to hungary, causing supply shortages. now that led to panic, buying and long lines gas station. so it's no wonder that hungry voted against the european union. now trying to do pretty much the same thing and capping the price,

it now says that it will be willing to pay for gas ostensibly to protect european households. so this price count of a $180.00 euros is well below the $275.00 euros that the european commission wanted, which would have been so high that you have to wonder. it's almost ridiculous. you have to wonder if they just wanted to make a symbolic p r gesture with all of this. just to be able to tell europeans, look, we're doing something for you while actually doing nothing. if only because doing virtually anything else. risk screwing up, supply and pricing for the e you more than they already have. every time they pound the desk, slap on anti russian sanctions than wait to see what other damage they've caused for themselves. this time, a handful of european countries wanted a much lower cap and the energy minister of one of those nations reese cost us struck us has said that quote, anything between a $150.00 under $190.00 euro's to

a 100 would work. i think a 188 will give the right signals to the markets. not sure that the european union has inspired much confidence as the market whisperer when energy and inflation are so high as resulted. there are policies, the german gas lobby had said earlier today that the idea of control and gas prices was a quote, political illusion that was destined to fail in practice. that sounds like a pretty logical assumption if one was looking at this through the prism of actual you know, logic and reason. but as usual for the e u, it's all about virtue signaling about unity cheering, about having come to an agreement, whatever that may be. making europeans think that they're doing something to help the average person, even though the whole reason, the average citizen is in this whole mass to begin with is precisely because of the use constant tinkering will mean time the kremlin slammed the

e u for the price cap calling it quote unacceptable, and adding that they will be quote, appropriate repercussions. i spoke earlier with economist ica, hama, he stretches that you, you, bureaucrats, policy ultimately contradicts the interests of their people. death is the most important energy nowadays, due to the energy change in europe. so this is a huge, huge hit and we are entering into a phase where uncontrolled bureaucrats are grabbing after the industry and taking one step after the next and setting up mechanisms that the you, this uncontrolled rock proceed is taking their group on the different areas on the different market within europe, and you can come to the conclusion that you can have the impression that these people are not serving the european people. they are serving other power, such as at the minute the us all, there's only got club. they want to go away from the fossil fuels. they want to be

industrialized a europe. they will have the fantastic ideas. we don't work doesn't work. and we're all the people are suffering sitting there, a price of $180.00 euros. but if you are thinking like hell, then the, then nobody will sell any cubic meter of gas for, for this, for this amount of money. this is a very, very sad day for the european people are turning to the next republic now where at least 2 civilians killed and several others wounded off the ukrainian artillery hit a hospital. we spoke with a senior figure in the facilities that neurosurgical department, he called the a tax quote, bob barrack, this old millennium. good. my name is boris foreign aco. i'm the head of the neural surgical department that suffered from yesterday's barbaric shelling. it happened in the evening at the time 15 patients were in our department, 4 of them in serious condition as

a result of the shell in one military man who came to us with traumatic brain injury was killed. and the 2nd military man was also killed. all of our staff worked efficiently and the patients were brought down to the basement within 7 minutes, all the patients were there thanks to our medical staff for their quick reaction and a low bow to them for this special thanks to our administration, who also helped us would understand why these barbaric attacks are happening. they are attacking peaceful civilian infrastructure. i don't understand the purpose, this is complete madness. the spirit of our department is strong and our employees are well though, and every one performs their duties as they should. the russian administrator defense says that during the shelling of a hospital kia was using swedish made howitzers, a correspondent, roman casa ref, remains in don. yet key filed this report. chaos, kansas indiscriminate. so artillery shelling by ukraine continued throughout the day on a sunday here in dunn at school. right now. i'm standing next to building number

6 of the done at sca general hospital. i hear this was a direct hit. you can see that the maintenance workers right now are trying to clear what, what is left of this wing. now this is a new or surgery building at this hospital as we understand. so one patient was killed immediately after the shilling, and the one was this severely wounded at xyz a little bit later on. and now the shelling of the center of the nest continued throughout the day began at 6 o'clock in the morning on sunday, and the was happening all throughout the day. now this sensor ogden, this is not the only place which was at sar, get it by the ukrainian nationalists as are the areas here in the next were

a struck has wall. now the, in this particular instance, according to local authorities multiple launch iraq, his systems, a grad, had been used. however, on the outskirts of the city, nato maids weapons had been used against the civilians as well. so far, we know that 2 people were killed as the result of ukrainian or chillers shilling. and at least 5 people were wounded and doctors at the moment are making doing everything possible in order to save their lives. i getting back to our top story here on our tea international. great to have your company by the way of the russian president vladimir putin on his belly, russian count upon alexander to look a shanker, have just wrapped up a large press conference. and i know standing by on the sidelines, i was on tisa, maria, phenomenal, and maria, you a watching a all of the comments coming from both of those leaders. they covered a broad range of subjects. can you give us some of the highlights, mash?

yes, good evening. rory, indeed, after almost 4 hours spent together a face to face and with their delegations like more potent, alexander lucretia, came out to journalists and brief their media. both bella, russian and russian. on the results of mondays intensive talks deep and constructive as both leaders described. russia and bella roost have historically had very close ties, always actually, but especially after the beginning of moscow special mil to operation ukraine that borders bella roof as well. this is wide more pollutants, 1st visit to the capital names since 2019 before their pandemic. but far from a rare meeting with his beller russian counterpart as lucas shanker said, i mean food can very often and that even worries some western countries, the vela russian presidents stress that monday's talks come and made very loud outside skepticism about the nature of the relationship between moscow and means,

especially it's equality with some claims heard about bella rows being observed by russia. now look, a shenker assured that the journalists at the press conference that the relations between moscow and means are based on equality and mutual interests and, and mutual respect. and their relations have always been strong and will only be getting stronger until the straight that that trade turnover between the 2 countries has already heat the rack. heard and he is expected to reach $40000000000.00 a year and a not only in economic but also in defense and security spheres. taken into corporate very closely. they complex as a scan there, and as 400 as look, a sion guy announced today i've just been pu to by bella rows on the combat duty provided by russia. so no one will be able to drive a wedge between us too, as lucas shenker said about bella, rosa, and russia, although some tri,

let's not listen to what the bell russian president had to say. i see it is not so by joints. russia can do without us. oh, we can't do without russia. we want to go. and of course, we have agreed here that we will act on equal terms. but let's be honest. are we able to defend our independence in sovereignty alone without russia, illinois, if we are not able to see voting added that the west does not want to see stronger, thus danger is for them. rivals on the international arena. and this is why main scammed moscow will continue to hearing this capitalism from the outside before like more pollutants visit. here at 2 main school, we heard a lot from here about potential possible aims of monday's talks here in that bella russian capital. among them, moscow's apparent attempts to convince lucas shanker to join moscow's special military operation and even launch a joined ground operation against ukraine. from the territory of bela rosa have

been able to speak about that with the russian president spokes person to meet that it is called. this is what, how he commented on that teacher. i didn't grace key again yet. ukrainian general said that moscow is preparing together with beller, is a ground operation against ukraine, from the bell ruffian territory. and that's why vladimir putin came to men's. can you comment on that? what is the name of the ukranian general? i guess to lose me, delusions, he needs to rest. he is overworked at the end of the press conference. so both leaders talked a lot about sundays, fif a match between france and argentina. and both her lucas shenker and potent agreed that the 2 countries were strong enough and almost equally strong and performed high quality food. well, but, but as it happens in life, very often the strongest winds bacteria. so i don't correspond that maria phenomena

always good to see your thank you. hi, shifting gear, thought of south africa, where president sir road i'm a photo has been re elected as leader of the ruling african national congress for a 2nd 5 year time over now to auntie africa correspondent, catabolic tattler with more details on this. now as we stand here, selma vasa stands as a re elected president of the african national congress. and this time not via the gossamer thin margin of a 171 bows that he had in 2017, but over 670. this has been an overwhelming victory for a man who was seen s and our pressure to come up with a response to the charges that that the independent pennell report wanted to level or at least investigate with regards to his color, palate, font, robbery that had been some 2 years ago, now se still has

a lot of issues to deal with. among them, they have to address the pressing matters, such as corruption, accused members of the party and how to seem like they are universally treating all members the thing. another thing that they have to grapple with is the issue of south africa porous borders. this has seen opposition. parties really take votes from the african national congress, as they have law on about a nationalist view that has been gaining some traction here. and the african national congress is trying very hard to say to look like the od responding to the issues that south africans on the ground have been complaining about. but have the view from some of the people that were here to support their branches. their delegates and in the overall sense, i guess the men who want set out, i'm opposed. so i believe that this new leadership will be able to concentrate all the forces and put in one direction just working because the old provinces decided

and be brought back on my post as the president and bas late, which was agreed upon by all boy coordinate us of all provinces. so i think that i'm a post nutrition which is coming, you know, is gonna be changing the african national congress. we're gonna be united asthma as more than ever before betty had been excited. i will go to that my policy will go and the need to do county, and i am 5 foot caught up to cobb county the lit up now in the in, if not today about people. so we want to that i'm up to care about that. i can believe this time around, the president is more emboldened by the leadership collective. just come out from this conference. so with this leadership that the delegates of the agency i've given him to work with you will have more coverage to take decisions. settled on

was that 1st by give the president where rocky test and at times looked like it had pinned him against the robe. now with an emboldened mandate, one only wait to see just how quickly that all was. well, an egg, some of the agreed upon policies. yes. and the reforms that he has promised the south african public at large will he, when will he got his house in south, john is right. and all the way to peru where protest is taken to the streets country, ride to out to moment 23 people reportedly killed. and lastly, violent crashes now on rushed to erupt. it across several cities. after then president petro castillo, with impeached by parliament. as vice president dina, but they inherited the post protest of cold apollo, grab it as illegitimate over she says she's not going to step down and questions,

but most of those who are telling her to go no, i love your lens. yeah. what does my resignation fall holy? does it solve the problem? it doesn't. we will be here firmly until congress decides to bring forward the election. they say let dina board a resign. why? because i am a woman, or because they see me as incapable of good governance, they are wrong. well, despite the deadly demonstrations, several western countries have reiterated full support for the current bo, highly and baffled president. spoke with peruse, foreign minister, and as cecilia gervase to reiterate our support for the transitional government of president bowl r t. a candidate calls for com peace and full respect for human rights. i also expressed my condolences to those who have died due to the social unrest. the united states looks forward to working closely with president bulwark day on shared

goals and values related to democracy, human rights security, anti corruption, and economic prosperity. while a number western countries have put their support behind her, specifically the united states and canada behind dina below ortiz, unelected governments, the same government that actually has come to power by a congress that has between 7 and 11 percent of support from the population. according to recent polls, and on the other hand, the ousting and detainment of the former president pedro castillo, has actually angered a lot of latin american leaders. we heard from columbia as president pedro gustavo who basically came, spoke out in support of his peruvian counterpart. and we also heard from the former president of bolivia, april morales, he called on the international community to take action to secure the release of castillo, we call the international community, especially the un agencies and the inter american commission on human rights to put a stop to the deaths and serious human rights violations suffered by the brotherly

peruvian people for demanding the constituent assembly and the release of its president. that was 25 people already unfortunately dead from this violence. the situation is also upsetting a lot of officials within the country as well. i mean, boulevard to his ministers of culture and education have both resigned already out of frustration. so it's also not clear if these resignations are going to be the end of it either. so we, you know, it's, it's, it's wanting to have protests and demonstrations is also, i mean, is, is gossley news to hear about some of these protest tutting deadly donald. but we also have raids going on as well. what, what else can you tell us? well, the on saturday the left wing new peru party said it, it released actually videos of policeman in civilians, clothing rating their offices. the party said that this was a violation of their fundamental rights because lawyers and onlookers were not actually allowed into the building to observe what was going on. so we, after that heard a statement from the general secretary of that party denouncing the raids as well

as denouncing similar ones against another left wing opposition group in peru. let's take a listener what he said, take a look at it. although he necessity, they broke into premises that belong to the no i, vo, peru, party on the peasant confederation of peru, acting against comrades from different provinces and regions who are peacefully protesting against what is happening now. in peru, we are experiencing a very critical period, a dictatorial period because this situation cannot be called democracy. how brothers and sisters are being killed and we will not tolerate any more deaths. we can't stand it. the media distilled, everything that happens here in peru, in terms of this raid on the offices of the peasant confederation of peru. a video also did surface on twitter of a man who appeared to be on the scene who was accusing the police actually of planting evidence on them in, in those buildings. so as these deaths from the violence are likely going to continue as long as the these violent protests continue,

and we're hearing accusations of government abuse. it's unclear how much longer of boulevard his government even might have the choice on whether it's going to resign or not. i was speaking just a bit other in the program to activist daniella or tis no, she suggested external players are only making the situation worse, much to the detriment of locals in lima. it's really important to understand these in regards to the region we have and also that and that the american countries we've left governments now able to seal is going to start having the government from the 1st of january. so it seems that these that can only have to do with that conflict between that right when and the modified be in the context of it. but also we're taking back $3040.00 by the imperialist power on the it takes to get there with a european union already when there were more than 5 people motivated. they are p

n union in countries. i'm the bachelor, came out to be in support to the no one who are on the other hand, a bit that all in the follow me and everything of make people that prepare for living in the philippines didn't seem to be there, recalls nice being able to make precedents and they need, it's clear and we're gonna see it in many other cases, how the speech of human rights being always manipulated. if, if it would have been a theo that for example, he was trying to, he made of announced to a media that was lying openly about him. and they were already the accusing him of persecuting the media. not taking freedom of his be to say that or no, but then when we have the situation that we're seeing of more than $25.00 people being killed, nobody's talking about human rights and all those governments and the bustle recovery is that made because he's clear that they want to take black,

3030 in the context of latin america. so good to have your company for this program, the f b i officials repeatedly grilled twitter executives about censorship on the social media platform. that's according to the most recent edition of the twitter files, which claims the agency insisted. the company provide more information about removing quote, state propaganda from the site. let's lift the lid on this right now. hit to new york and our correspondent caleb martin. so it appears that at a rather politically sensitive time, now we have members of the intelligence agencies in the united states reach out to twitter and asked twitter about the activities of what they called propaganda actors on its platform. and the response from twitter was to basically say, there's not much of it, there doesn't seem to be much activity of that kind on our platform. well, the intelligence agencies would not accept that answer. they provided a bibliography of articles from the wall street journal and,

and other media outlets talking about how you know r t and had been been riding on twitter, et cetera. and it appears that yellow colon, ah, he was quite shocked by the response of the u. s, intelligence community to his reporting on what was actually taking place on the platform. here's what he said. hi team. the questions we received are attached, i'm frankly perplexed by the requests here, which seem more like something we get from a congressional committee than the bureau. there's a big discussion to be had about state controlled media, which will be impacted by the label launch later this month. but i'm not particularly comfortable with the bureau, demanding written answers here. what's your perspective on how best to navigate? thanks. so yo roth is the main sensor at twitter. he was responsible for overseeing the taking down of certain accounts and suppressing of certain voices. but even he was perplexed and shocked by the f. b i's response and what they were

asking of him. and this points to the fact that there seems to be some interesting gaps in this narrative that we get about twitter being a neutral actor. it seems to feed the idea that the intelligence agencies had a lot of control over it and, and certainly doesn't dispel the idea that twitter wasn't meddling in american politics. now, you'll recall on adam shift of a democrat in the u. s. congress that he came forward and talked about how twitter got a free pass. what he said, i think we've got a big problem right now with social media companies and their failure to moderate content and the explosion of hate on twitter. the banning of journalists on twitter . i don't think these companies should enjoy an immunity from liability when they behave this way. you know, we can't tell them what to say, not say, but we, we gave them immunity. it seems this immunity that he was describing has been lifted it's past it's no longer in effect since the alon moscow took control of the

platform of twitter, milan must someone who urged folks to vote republican and the recent us mid term elections since then. we have seen a lot moscow face, a federal investigation, news twitter deal. there has been around denunciation of the law mosque as a dangerous man, a tyrant. in addition to that, there's been a threat of sanctions from the european union. so we have a situation that now that twitter seems to be in the hands of forces that are not in line with the democrat party. because of that, we now have twitter and, and, and social media giants not, you know, being told they have this immunity. they want at this point we have republicans making the allegation that big tack is really just a wing of the u. s. intelligence agencies. and they're using it for political purposes to meddle in the elections. and they're saying they want to do something about this. i believe that in the end we will find that there's no intelligence of that supports the f b i doing this, that this is a, a campaign by the f

b i. that really is outside of the bounds of anything we would expect them to do. and certainly in a very constitutionally trouble, and who's the mastermind? and since this is not based on intelligence, this is not formal. i'd actors that the malign actor throughout with the f b i themselves. who is it that is coordinating this? so it, it, we have an ironic situation here where the f, b, i and their attempts to snuff out what they call for an actors is actually revealing their own mouth. these are revealing their efforts to cover up the hunter by laptops, danville, and other other efforts that they made to kind of nudged whitter to operate in certain ways. and it certainly, you know, this bits of pattern in the new revelations that are coming along, which seemed to indicate the twitter was certainly not a free and open space. and there certainly was a partisan agenda being carried out by this very important tac platform to poland. now where a national newspaper has published 2 articles by public political figures that

challenge the west's narrative on the conflict in ukraine. kubota writes, i assume that the war in ukraine is not a desperate defense of a threatened nation, but a so called proxy war between russia and the west with ukrainian suffering losses at the expense of various, mainly american military lobbies. clearly, cold war hawks use the war in ukraine in their interests, and the heroic defenders of ukraine. sovereignty are also obviously admirable. but almost no one writes about the former, and almost every one about the latter. it's easy to imagine what our american friends would do. the training center for mexican soldiers led by russian, all chinese instructors was suddenly open near the mexican pull to vote. a cruise and the training program could prepare for the recovery of the territory of the present state of new mexico and maybe even parts of california. so let's think seriously about what russians my think and feel when western instructors, mainly anglo saxons have been training, ukrainian soldiers and participants of the so called volunteer battalions. regiments.
