the justice department charge, former president donald trump within citing on erection were last years. capitol a is r t. my name's you know, nails 30 minutes of news and you start now enough back guy. this is me. you know, now let's move on to the top story today. the city of done yet cuz suffered yet another series of overnight artillery strikes by ukrainian forces where the hospital got in the line of fire for the 2nd time in 24 hours. are tease from on cost rep is there and spoke to the program earlier. ukrainian or artillery sought to city of the nest. shortly before midnight on monday, once again, one of the largest hospital here in dunbar had been targeted were standing right
2:02 am
next to the building. and number 10 that was suffered at direct i hit by a mo, from a multiple launch a rocket system. as the result, at least one person was heavily wounded as the result of this attack a day prior to this. so 2 people had been killed as another building building number 6, and you are surgery department was as strong as well. now that building behind me it houses administration as well as a day time clinic. now it shuts at 4 pm and opens at 7 o'clock in the morning. so thankfully there was no one there except for the caretaker. now once again, it was struck by ukrainian artillery by a grad missile, and we actually found the shell that was used and i spoke to ballistics expert, narrow this is a model for modified solve yet shell produced in slovakia,
2:03 am
it's $122.00 millimeter a shell and once again made in slovakia and supplied to ukraine by made. so countries and these are the kinds of shells that had been used against a civilians here in den eskoville last month or, or so, of course, many people people had been killed and many more were injured as the result of these a chaotic and indiscriminate attacks against the sensor, various calibers of weapons are being used against dividends here. and then as i grabbed myself like what i just showed you, and of course the other calibers have much higher 15552 millimeter. and of course, they cause a lot of destruction. many of the weapons that are being used to include the cluster munitions as well with that is designed to inflict as much damage as
2:04 am
possible. well, the hospital about our correspondent just mentioned was initially struck on the very same day that ukraine's president spoke about restoring peace, grain stripes for peace, more than anything else. we offered peace formula to the world war last feel, and peace is to become the champion. mila, the former italian prime minister has said the global community has forgotten the path of peace for resolving the conflict. uninstall it has been fueling it with more weapon resupply. to keep the laughter is something we've seen in a recent pledge by british p. m rushes tonight, who said the u. k would send another quarter of a 1000000000 pounds worth of little aid to ukraine. ortiz marina cost forever looked deeper now at the war versus peace rivalry among western politicians. while more and 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
2:05 am
unilateral coal for a cease fire 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. it's 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 right, they will be in the best possible position if the negotiating table, that moment is not right now. of course, the law now that send ukraine a few more $1000000000.00 fell some more weapons, tried to ostracize russia a little bit more. and who cares how many more people lose their lives? 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
2:06 am
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 abandoned these 4 new territories and hold on. so crimea, and that would become subject of further negotiations after a ceasefire. and we've already heard a similar proposal from elan mosque. remember, it also didn't go down very well. was, 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
2:07 am
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 all calm for son is a ra sheranda important by the war. i disagree for all his propensity to wireless. russia has made decisive contributions to the global aqua libra young and to the balance of power for over half or millennium is historical role should not be degraded. but it seems that the west is seen can exactly that. and will not stop
2:08 am
until russia is the graded weekend and humiliated something which is highly unlikely, a term that the west like sees. 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? and just staying with this story, we heard from journalist and or 3rd, daniel is our who says ukraine has become a tool of the u. s. government. i think the negotiations are or should, should definitely take place. they're 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 that russia will not and really cannot give up. the u. s. a know, extended nato, farther and farther to the east with the idea of essentially correct surrounding
2:09 am
and crippling. right. and eliminating it as a major military power. and so, so certainly that, that tendency that long march has led to the last lead to the war and is leading to the destruction of the ukraine. but the u. s. doesn't care because 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. you know the story to keep you on top of today, the russian president tells visited neighboring bella roost for a summit. with one of his closest lies. latimer put an express support for trading bell or russian forces to use the latest russian electric technology, particularly in view of the rising tensions on those countries. western borders. the stay 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
2:10 am
system has 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 the 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 sion to came out to journalists to brief the media on the results of monday's intensive talks, deep and constructive, as both leaders described it. the trade turnover between moscow and means has already heat the rack heard, and he is expected to reach $40000000000.00. these ear not only in economic butting
2:11 am
defense and security spheres as well. moscow means kachim t and talk operate very closely. to de luca shanker announced that beller was could, is, can darren s 400 complex is provided by ration. com but duty. so the relations will always be strong, and no one will be able to drive a wedge between us as lucre shenker said, although they tried me for a while, my poems visit to means queer heard a lot from key f about potential ames of monday's talks, 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 the crank from the territory of belarus. i have been able to speak about that with the russian president spokesperson. dmitri p scoff. this is how he commented on that isha, i didn't krinski again yet. also, the ukranian general said that moscow is preparing together with bell,
2:12 am
or is the ground operation against ukraine 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 credit general? i guess, to lose me, lose me and is to rest. he's 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 library putin's 1st visit to the capital. it means since 2019 before the pandemic, but far from a rare meeting with hays beller, 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 and needs the very loud outside skepticism about the nature of the relationship between moscow and mean sca particularly eats equality with some claims. heard about belarus, being observed by russia. lucas sion gusher that the relations are based on mutual
2:13 am
respect and interest. he said that the relations have always been strong and will only be getting stronger labella roost as a member of the russian by collective security treaty organization and alliance of post soviet countries. minsky is the chair of the group next year with a number of large scale military drills planned on its territory. we heard from former senior u. s. defense policy analysts, michael maloof, who sees president putin's visit to bela bruce could have served as a warning to the west. i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the worst that if ukraine continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing. and that they could activate c s t o, which include members of, of kazakhstan, armenia,
2:14 am
kyrgyzstan and tajikistan. that would be a and under the c s t o, like nato's article 5, c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all i think it's mr pollutant signaling that this is going to be the next step. short of nucular, of course, he's already stated he's not going to be using nukes. ok, unless the main, unless the federation itself is massively attacked. and i would presume that by nato russia has slum the e use decision to impose that price comp on natural gas supplies. calling it a violation of fundamental market principles. the kremlin has warned, it's not considering appropriate contra measures. this is a violation of the markets pricing process. any talk of
2:15 am
a ceiling is unacceptable. it will take some time to carefully weigh all the pros and cons to develop counter measures. of several e. u. member states have also expressed strong opposition to the decision by the blocks leadership, the netherlands for one seized out the restrictions will make. it's much harder to secure as supplies of natural gas, very much in demand right now. here's the take on all that. so 40 contributor ritual marston, while the ink is even dry on this new eve, gas price caps 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, but it's still being introduced despite this. so today it's another big bottle with
2:16 am
brussels now hungry knows what it's talking about. when it comes to price caps, they tried imposing a cat 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 nicks it 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 protect 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 a symbolic p r gesture with all of this. just to be able to tell your opinions, look,
2:17 am
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 $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 result of their policies. the german gas lobby had said earlier today that the idea of controlling gas prices was a quote, political illusion that was destined to fail in practice. that sounds like
2:18 am
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 mast to begin with is precisely because of the use constant tinkering. ah, more eye opening leaks emerging from the twitter files, the latest cash claims that f b i officials repeatedly grilled the company's management about censorship on the social media platform or to scale up and picks up the story from their so it appears that at a rather politically sensitive time 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
2:19 am
was to basically say, there's not much of it. there doesn't seem to be much activity of that kind on our platforms. 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 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 is 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 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,
2:20 am
though 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 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 had 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
2:21 am
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 in the recent us mid term elections. since then we have seen a lawn mosque phase, a federal investigation, news, twitter deal. there has been a round 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 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 want and at this point we are. 9 republicans making the allegation that big tech is really just a wing of the u. s. intelligence agency,
2:22 am
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 it 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? 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, bind 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 fits a pattern in the new revelations that are coming along, which seemed to indicate that twitter was certainly not a free and open space. and there certainly was
2:23 am
a partisan agenda being carried out by this very important tech platform. just to make clear, the twitter files is a set of documents shared by your must with journalists and other individuals on lee to the public. now they mostly deal with content moderation of the company under its previous management, and includes claims the bombing, donald trump, from the platform, had been pushed by executives despite a subordinate saying that then you as president, did not actually violate company policy. well, since becoming twitter ceo must has been well to say shaking up the entire platform of his most recent spence, along with the twitter files is a pull to decide whether he would remain at the top post of the company. for more on that r t dot com hudson cover while the a twitter file is take a toll on some democrats reputations, others are pushing ahead with a familiar theme state site,
2:24 am
a democrat lead congressional committee that's demanded that the justice department charge rival republican donald trump sh with inciting an insurrection. last year. falsified statements on obstruction of congress are also listed in the accusations presented after a year and a half of investigations into the january 6th on rest than capitol hill. mr. chom saved the claims housing fabricated by federal law enforcement officials in cahoots with the democratic the people understand 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, these january 6th proceedings that have been going on, that have been produced and, and professionally done, which is also kind of laughable. it had to have
2:25 am
a closure. otherwise, a lot of narrative would be centered around the ineffectiveness of that. there's multiple motives and certainly playing on the democrats wishes would be one of them . ah, many of us see it as lose cheney's last ditch effort to be relevant. certainly, nancy pelosi said, i believe effort to show that this farce of the committee has relevance and actually was able to carry out t it's it's committee assignment which seemed to be declared from the beginning that time donald trump and every one else would be declared guilty this was never a true investigation, there was never a countering side. we all know that evidence, contrary to that which was presented, was never allowed to be presented. and this is mrs. nothing more than a 3rd world kangaroo court. and i really do believe part of this is for nancy pelosi unless change to be relevant before time expires on them. a lot of
2:26 am
interest in this next story you might see why on screen the new york times a sport controversy with the shape of the crossword puzzle that it published on the 1st day of the jewish celebration of hanukkah. it's been pointed. i thought it resembles a nazi swastika. disgusting only the new york times would get hanukkah going with this is the crossword puzzle. imagine what they would do to someone who did this and was not ideologically aligned with them. i'll give them the same benefit of the doubt. they would give those people exactly 0. the new york times has had a hard time telling the truth about israel in jews. this week they published a crossword in the shape of a swastika. today's new york times crossword is making me nervous. a history can be interesting to before world war 2, the u. s. newspaper of record actually have a rather positive outlook on writing us just liter hitler. as you can see in these headlines,
2:27 am
a number of other outlets reported about the small sticker controversy including the jerusalem post, which affirm that the puzzle bore an uncanny resemblance to the nazi symbol. the times has responded by saying the crossword simply has a common design for the genre. journalist on p r specialist john verbally says he doesn't believe it, was it just the coincidence coming on a major jewish holiday? does the daily house been implicated in similar controversial cases? it's absolutely not a coincidence. did senior editors approve this highly unlikely? did a radical anti submitted group within the new york times create the sick? absolutely atrocious drug. yes, most likely. they knew what they were doing a waiting for the 1st day of hanukkah to release this, you know, and this is the 3rd time it's happened in the new york times crossword section in 9 years. so they had been warned before about this or 20142017. and they did it again
2:28 am
. i mean, someone signed off on that someone obviously who knew what they were doing, signed off on that, and then don't forget the context. busy you know, this is, this is a newspaper that is the bastion of a binding administration, which has been really quite as a very dubious policies towards israel towards, towards the jewish community. and which we know supports a radical far right regime in kia, that glorifies nazi collaborators. then your times glorifies the, you know, the regime in kia. so in some ways, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. ok. and finally, this news, our dozens of us lawmakers have sent a letter to fif of the notes in the organizations decision to prohibit players from wearing rainbow colored arm bandon supportive l g b t writes during the world cup in guitar. the statement express concerns over the treatment of gay individuals in thought which officially bands homosexuality,
2:29 am
the u. s. democratic lawmakers. so that forbidding such arm bands contradicts fif is generally inclusive policies. we heard from sports. busy chemist alan murray, who believes the american politicians were taking advantage of the controversy in order to promote themselves. this is simply attention seeking, looking for a vote looking for you know, signaling even more virtues. it's an embarrassment in many, many ways, and any of the americans for service i spoke with last couple days and even today they were embarrassed by this because this has nothing to support. this is simply do like look at me, look at me. i'm so special and we want to push the values and we want to push to things where most of these people are the most, you know discriminatory at greatest people in their own lives. but you know, they want to try and push to said they want to try and make a show. and so when it comes to their work up in canada, usa, mexico,
2:30 am
in 2026. debbie looking for tickets. they, we look for hundreds and, you know, they start at home 1st, they won't trucks, stone and their own class has to because they could start with nike. they could start coca cola to start with mcdonalds. they won't do that because it's not good to get any attention. annex, neo nazi skinhead on the run from his former dung maids because he was found to be jewish. like the part of a movie. but it's been john daily's life for it. is extraordinary journey, not just geographically until next year on our to the the the, the, the vice wanted to go.
