justice department to charge form of president trump within fighting and insurrection over the last year, january 6th, right? with good evening where ever you are in the world, welcome to our international is just good, am here in the russian capital, and it's great to have you with us. i'm right, mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. rosen plaza only puts it has visited neighbouring bella roots for a summit with one of his closest allies put the next rest. so poor for training, bella, russian forces to work with the latest russian military technology, especially in view of the rising touches on those countries. weston borders, hemisphere, she would even like to combat coordination of the military units of our countries is being carried out on the territory of fellers. a unified air defense system has
12:02 am
been created in his on duty. he, i consider it possible to continue the implementation of the proposal of the present of belarus on training the crews of combat aircraft, of the bell russian army, which are re equipped for the possible use of munitions with a special war head. i emphasized that this form of co operation is not our initiative. the u. s. has been conducting similar activities with its nato allies for decades. such measures are important in connection with the tense situation on the union states external borders you, me, after a total of 4 hours spent together including face to face and with their delegations, white more potent and alexander lucas shanker, came out to journalists to brief the media on the results of monday's intensive talks, deep and constructive, as both leaders described. the trade turnover between moscow and means has already heat the record and he's expected to reach $40000000000.00. these ear not only in economic butting defense and security spheres as well. moscow means kachim teething
12:03 am
talk operate very closely. to de luca shanker announced that beller is put, is, can darren s $400.00 complex is provided by rash on calm, but duty, so their relations will always be strong and no one will be able to drive a wedge between us as liquor. shameka said, although they tried before like my potent visit to minsk, we heard a lot from here about potential ames of monday's talk, same, including moscow's apparent attempts to convince lucas shanker to join moscow's special military operation, as well as even launch had joined ground offensive against going from the territory all, bella rose, i have been able to speak about that, that with the russian president spokesperson, dmitri briscoe. this is how he commented on that teacher. i didn't grace key again at all. he ukrainian general said that moscow is preparing together with beller is a ground operation against ukraine,
12:04 am
from the belly ruffian territory. and that's why vladimir putin came to minsk. can you comment on that? what is the name of the ukrainian general, i guess delusion e zulu jeanie? she needs to rest, he is overworked, russia and bella rose. have historically had very close ties always, but especially after the beginning of moscow special military operation in ukraine that borders belarus as well. this is why we're putin's 1st visit to the capital means since 2019 before the pandemic. but far from a rare meeting with hays bella russian counterpart, as lucas shanker said, i mean booking very often and some western countries even are warren about it. the bell, russian president stress that mondays talks come have made the very loud outside skepticism about the nature of the relationship between moscow and means good. particularly eats equality with some claims. heard about bella was being observed by russia. look, i shouldn't go sure that the relations are based on mutual respect and interest. he
12:05 am
said that the relations have always been strong and will only be getting stronger. first is a member of the russian backs collective security treaty organization. alliance of post soviet countries, men scarce a chair the group next year with large scale military drills planned on it. 3, we heard from for the u. s. defense policy analyst, michael maloof, who says, puts in, has delivered a strong signal to the west with his recent visit to bowers. i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the west that if you crane continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing. and that they could activate c a c o which include members of context on our media, kyrgyzstan, ashika,
12:06 am
se. then that would be pe and under the c s e o, white nato. article 5, c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all. i think it's mr. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step, short of new killer. of course, he's already stated he's not going to be using nukes unless the main, unless the federation itself is massively attacked. and i would presume that by nato, meanwhile, in the dom bus, the city of dyess has suffered yet another series of overnight artillery strikes where you granted forces with a hospital court in the line of fire for the 2nd time in 24 hours cares red, she launched at these 15 heavy rounds into the regional capital. the shells hit the medical center as well as neighboring civilian areas,
12:07 am
including homes. and the kindergarten. 2 people were reported killed, and new friends are to reboot embodiment of the hospital the previous night. the hospital was initially struck on the same day that ukraine's presence and as he spoke about restoring peace and re iterated, his accusations that russia was responsible for the conflict crane strives for peace, more than anything else. we offer this formula to the world. wars must feel and peace is to become the champion. meanwhile, for my time, prime minister says the global community has not provide enough incentive the grain to resolve the conflict with pistols. recently, british prime minister richie soon acts and rushes efforts to secure a cease fire. have been meaningless as he pledged another 250000000 pounds worth of aid to keep all his marine across the river reports on the issue. while more and
12:08 am
more prominent figures are encouraging peace talks to russia and ukraine. the what is trying to make sure things stay as they are. we must be clear that any unilateral coal for a ceasefire by russia is completely meaningless in the current context. i think it would be a false call. we have no illusions that's a true piece. negotiation that would be possible in the immediate future with our job to continue to sustain our military support to ukraine. so they are in the best possible position on the battlefield. so that if and when diplomacy is ripe, they will be in the best possible position. if the negotiating table, that moment is not right now. of course, as well. now let's send ukraine a few more $1000000000.00. fell some more weapons. try to ostracize russia a little bit more. and who cares how many more people lose their lives?
12:09 am
well, this time it was former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, who spoke in favor of peace talks. the time is approaching to build on the strategic changes which have already been accomplished and to integrate them into a new structure towards the chewing piece, through negotiation. how their, who that was pretty much the reaction from key if right away. unfortunately, even after 10 months of war, mister kissinger did not understand anything, neither the nature of this war nor its impact on the world's order. henry kissinger has stated that last may he propose the states fire line along the borders existing before the special military operation began, which would see russia abandon these 4 new territories and hold on. so crimea, and that would become subject of further negotiations after the fire. and we've already heard a similar proposal from eland mosque. remember, it also didn't go down very well. was,
12:10 am
or one likes it or not. crimea is absolutely seen as a core part of russia by russia. crimea is also of critical, national security importance to russia, as it is their southern navy base, from their standpoint. losing crimea is like the united states losing hawaii and pearl harbor. he was ridiculed, scrutinized and dismissed. as of who had some propagandists were proposing and negotiated solution. and now we have a political heavyweights with decades of experience proposing as similar plan, and everyone's mock and him for it's all supporters of simple solutions should remember the obvious. an agreement with the devil, a bad piece at the expense of ukraine in territories will be a victory for put in and the recipe for success for autocrats around the world. the preferred out. com for some his, a russia rendered imposing by the war. i disagree for all his propensity to wireless. russia has made decisive contributions to the global aqua libra young and
12:11 am
to the balance of power for over half or millennium is historical role should not be degraded. but it seems that the west is seeking exactly that and will not stop until russia is degraded weekends and humiliated something which is highly unlikely a term that the west likes to use. so how many more people have to die? how many countries have to suffer before the west realizes that it is time to encourage peace talks instead of arms sales? we heard from jolissa and all her daniel lazar, his ukraine has become a tool of the us government. i think the negotiations are shar should, should definitely take place there more urgent now than ever. but they've got to be realistic in order, in order to succeed and realistic needs, recognizing that there are certain territories and russia will not,
12:12 am
and really cannot give up the usaa at no extended nato, farther and farther to the east with the idea of essentially correct surrounding and crippling russia and eliminating it as a major military power. and so, so certainly that, that tendency, that long march has led to the law has led to the war and is leading to the destruction of the ukraine. but the u. s. as in here is perfectly happy to sacrifice the ukraine to its own interest. but then again, it's also happy to sacrifice the e. u to its own interests. and that's exactly what we're seeing. energy use our russell swire. they use decision to impose a price cap on natural gas supplies as a violation of fundamental market principles. the kremlin has warned that it would consider appropriate and counter measures. this is
12:13 am
a violation of the markets pricing process. any talk of a ceiling is unacceptable. it will take some time to carefully weigh all the pros and cons to develop counter measures. several each member phase of also for a straw opposition to the decision. why the blocks the the ship. the netherlands have said that restrictions would make it harder to skill much needed supplies. of the critical modesty, archie, contributor rachel malls and digs deeper into the rift within the while the ink is even dry. on this new 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 come to be introduced to natural gas is bud harmful and dangerous,
12:14 am
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 cut 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 project european households. so this price cap 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
12:15 am
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 euros 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 controlling gas prices
12:16 am
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. european paula lambert, clag daily of arlen says the blow, his quote, cutting its own throats with its economy restrictions as it exposes its people to increase poverty. worse is yet to come. so set the i m f. in october. europe's economies are being tested, measured by sanctions. millions of europeans are going to have to decide between heating and easing this winter. people and poland are burning rubbish to keep warm
12:17 am
and the lights are winking out in german industry. the russians are laughing at us . the americans are laughing at us, i wouldn't blame them because when europe decided to go to war, it ended up by closing its own throat gas is the most important energy nowadays, due to this energy change in europe. so this is a huge, huge hit and we are entering into a face where uncontrolled m bureaucrats are grabbing after the industry and taking one step after the next and setting up mechanisms that the you, this uncontrolled broker see it taking their grip on, on the different areas under different markers within europe, and you can come to the conclusion or the you can have the impression that these people are not serving the european people. they are serving other power so such as at the minute the us or this oligarchy club,
12:18 am
they want to go away from the fossil fuels. they want to di, industry, allies, a europe. they want to have these, these fantastic. i gears what don't work or doesn't work, and where all the people are suffering and setting a price camp of 180 euros. but if you are says tanking like hell then the then nobody will sell any cubic meter of gas for this for this amount of money. this is a very, very sad date for the european people. while the seeks to buy cheap and natural gas, it has strain and it's relationship with one of its main provide is katara says the bumps recent moves against the gulf states including limiting ties due to corruption, allegations could gravy impacts supplies of the precious commodity. the decision to impose such a discriminatory restriction that limits, dialogue and cooperation on katara before the legal process has ended, will negatively affect regional and global security cooperation. as well as ongoing
12:19 am
discussions around global energy, poverty, and security. we firmly reject the allegations associating our government with misconduct. katara was not the only party named in the investigation, yet our country has been exclusively criticized and attacked. a high level corruption scandal in the european parliament has led to the suspension of one of his vice presidents that are allegation that she and several of the individuals accepted lavish prisons and cash from cutter as part of the supposed influence buying campaign. the guitar, a government have adamantly rejected those claims. nevertheless, the e, you decide, in recent days to limit its ties with the gulf states as they investigate the matter. we heard from sally, our e. b, a media specialist. i'm right in doha, who says the eas accusations have been detrimental to his relations with copper.
12:20 am
when i, secondary eh, this undermines trust between guitar and the e. u. these are hasty conclusions after germany signed a 15 year agreement on the supplies category gas, where these voices amount to heavy pressure from europe or some european countries on guitar, so that they could sign agreements with guitar. the problem is that some european countries seek pressure tactics instead of negotiations, guitars, a strategic ally to the whole world, not just the european union. so it is strange for us to see such a baseless campaign. and the question is, why, why now my bad there is an e you mission and guitar. there is an ambassador. i think this is a clear game of some states to influence history relations. they want to achieve something, and i think they will not achieve it through applying such pressure against our country guitar. reject such attempts to pressure us if such pressure had been applied in 2017 when the crisis of the gulf states occurred,
12:21 am
could tar would not have agreed to the conditions. let his dull he let leagues of the so called twitter files claim that there the i officials repeatedly grilled the company's management about censorship on the social media platform on his caleb open as the details. 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 r t and had been been thriving on twitter, et cetera. and it appears that yellow colon, ah,
12:22 am
he was quite shocked by the response of the us intelligence community to his reporting on what was actually taking place on the platform. here's what he said. high team, the questions we received are attached. i'm frankly perplexed by the request here, which seem more like something we'd 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? 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
12:23 am
a lot of control over it. and it certainly doesn't dispel the idea that twitter wasn't meddling in american politics. now, you'll recall on adam shift the democrat in the u. s. congress that he came forward and talked about how twitter got a free pass. here's what he said. i think 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. ugh, 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 and 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 mos, 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 who was twitter deal. there has been around denunciation of
12:24 am
law and 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 the 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 once had. and at this point we have republicans making the allegation that big jack is really just a wing of the u. s. intelligence agency, 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 support 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 actors around with the f
12:25 am
b i themselves. who is it that is coordinating this? 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 malfeasance, revealing their efforts to cover up the hunter by laptops, danville, and other other efforts that they made to kind of nudge twitter to operate in certain ways and it certainly, you know, this fits a 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 tech platform. the sort of files is a set of documents shared by ela, moss with journalists and other individuals and leads to the public. they mostly deal with content moderation at the company under its previous management. there are claims that binding from from the platform hadn't been pushed by management despite a sub olden saying, then us present didn't actually violate company policy. is becoming to us as
12:26 am
a c l o must, has been shown here the entire platform. one of his most recent starts along with the twitter files is a pull to decide whether he would remain at the top post for more details. check out our website oxy dot com. walden to if i was take a toll on the democrats reputation policies on officials all making their own moves . a democrat lead congressional committee has told the justice department to charge rival republican form of present donald trump, with inciting an insurrection. fulls of i stables, either assertion of homeless or also niss. it in the accusations presented after a year and a half of investigations into the gerry says, riots on capitol hill from says the claims have been fabricated by federal law enforcement officials in cahoots with the democratic party. the people understand
12:27 am
that the democratic bureau of investigation, the d. b, i are out to keep me from running for president because they know all when and that this whole business of prosecuting me is just like impeachment was a partisan attempt to sideline me. and the republican party, ah, news of the mediterranean, i am also as opposed to reported plan for greece, a trade, an old russian missile system to ukraine for more molten weaponry from the us. a senior russian official says that such a move would violate stipulations against re exporting military hardware to a 3rd would world or to a 3rd country even without direct consent. 0. there is always an international agreement in force when it comes to military technical corporation. in our treaty and others, there is a stipulation prohibiting a transfer to a 3rd party without the approval of the exporter. a violation of this would be
12:28 am
a violation of an international treaty and create a very unpleasant precedent. it would be a trampling of all relevant norms, therefore would categorically reject present in such an offer because it would be a violation. mayor wholesale agrees is looking to acquire and vast us patriot missile systems by offering similar so we've developed as $300.00 weaponry to grain . but amid a of the rebels at the u. s. is leaning towards sending the patriot hardware to keep brief has been looking to strengthen his rosary. amid roy's intentions with fellow nato members, they took care. we heard from political alice use of aram who says, such an offer by re see grain would not be as generous as it would be open to mystic. well, when we've looked at the greek position of throughout the conflict in ukraine, we've seen that in the past they have provided vehicles to
12:29 am
a ukraine exchange for newer versions of german made vehicles. so greaser has been using crates need for weapon re as an opportunity to attempt to renew its own fleet and renew its own weapons stock. so obviously, this offer is not an offer of charity, but a business transaction from the perspective of athens and i b s. 300 has a in the past, create some geopolitical problems, spread them being a nato member. so they're seeing an opportunity right now where they can find a way to support ukraine by giving them an important piece of air defense hardware like yes, 300. and in exchange for more details friendly and inter operable patriot systems. so from a greek transactional perspective, this is
12:30 am
a positive transaction for them. and ukraine gets what that gets, what they need as well, which is an air defense system which they wanted in requested many times from the west. i haven't been able to get worlds of this news out of visual is great to have the with us didn't check out low all t dot com. great. so to have you with us, we'll see the top leo in then a money la lynn.
