and he lost territory losses i re much with with ukrainian artillery fire hits this same civilian hospital in dunn. yes. for the 2nd time in 24 hours, a heavy rides also strike residential buildings. kindergarten, according to authorities. shooting out hospital is a war crime. this down for fighting for the lives of those wounded people are being helped as much as possible. we continue to work as much as we can. the union states of russia and belt, arguably the closest the eastern european allies agreed to expand military cooperation. i made estimating tensions on western scope,

could use decision to restrict natural gas prices as the move exacerbates a rift between the blocks numbers. that's all i had on more this out with 11 am in tehran in mombasa here in moscow. this tuesday, december, the 20th i'm, you know, neil and this is the city of done yet cast suffrage. yet another series of overnight artillery strikes by ukrainian forces with a hospital caught in the line of fire for the 2nd time in a 24 hour period. ortiz from on cost red is there too. now i spoke to the program earlier o ukrainian artillery struck the 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

next to the building. 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 or surgery department was a stronger 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 a ballistics expert narrow, this is a modified, modified,

solved yet. shell are produced in slovakia, 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 have been used against a civilians here internet over the last 2 months or, or so, of course, many people people had been killed and many more were injured as the result of these, a k arctic 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

possible. so called us in a loan yesterday around a p. m. there was the 3rd shelling in a week. the hospital and administrative buildings were damaged, doctor's provided assistance, a doctor on duty managed to hide behind a safe normally but the walls are almost completely damaged. about 90 percent of the windows have shattered. there's no heating, 3 artillery strikes in a small area within one weeks. time is already a pattern. shooting out a hospital's a war crime. the staff are fighting for the lives of those wounded people are being helped as much as possible. we continue to work as much as we can. yesterday there was damage to the neuro surgical building. the staff are continuing their work, no matter what. today they all came to work to help people. our duty is above all else receive mineral. there are figures within the you who are examining allegations of ukrainian attacks on civilian areas in don bass. lisbon has hosted

a form called the dumbass witnesses conference with dozens of speakers detailing claims of kids atrocities in the region. participants disgust the e use influence on ukraine on the 2014 government could that's resulted in 8 years of conflict between key event on bus. these photos show the aftermath of just some of the documented screening attacks on residential neighborhoods. we heard from a number of the speakers expressed outrage over the actions of ukraine's military. i think ukraine act like these because a they know that them most part of population in don't boss. they are pro russia. oh, they speak russia, ease their culture. a big part of this population felt betrayed by the main leaders of ukraine and by the west. and they decided to power her repeating in the

same way in the west of your grand deeds. seizing the power in kia, and that's why i think you grain, they shell every day, cities like than yet. school ah, cooling and enduring civilian people. right? no one are over the master. think that's her shocked. b. demoss. the was the fact that her, i seen her how am ukrainian now army is a shelly anger against her against people law. because her, when the, for example, i was he in the yes go or a in go to love car or it was not month to see. that's where people killed are in the street a saw. it is something that's a, ah, we cannot accept her. and we can not accepted that at this is opinion girl also because her over westerner weekend, sir, not

a former italian prime minister has said the global community house, forgotten the path of peace for resolving the conflict. and instead has been fueling with more weaponry. the latter is something we've seen in a recent pledge, by the way, by british p. m. richey sooner. who said the u. k. would send another quarter of a 1000000000 pounds worth of legal aid to keith ortiz. marina cost river looks deeper now at the war versus peace rivalry among western politicians. while more and more prominent figures are encouraging peace talks between russia, ukraine, the west, is trying to make sure things stay as they are. we must be clear that any unilateral call 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 to a 2 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 ripe, they will be in the best possible position at the negotiating table. that moment is not right now. of course, it's not now that send ukraine a few more $1000000000.00. sell some more weapons. try to ostracize rush. i little bit more and who cares how many more people lose their lives? well, this time it was warmer. you a 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 achieving peace through negotiation. how their, who that was pretty much their reaction from key if straight 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 order. henry kissinger

has stated that last may he propose the same fire line along the borders existing before the special military operation began, which would see russia abandon these 4 new territories and hold on to 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 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 in 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 song is a ra sheranda. important why the war? i disagree for all is propensity to wireless. russia has made decisive contributions to the global act. will libra young and to the balance of power for over half will. 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 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 wes realizes that it is time to encourage peace talks instead of arm sales?

just to follow on from what marina was talking with her. we also spoke to journalist and or 3rd dunny lazar who says ukraine has essentially 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 means 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 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 lead lead to the war and is leading to the destruction of the ukraine. but the u. s. doesn't care because it's 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. the russian president has visited neighboring bella bruce for a summit with one of his closest allies. let me put an express support for training bella. russian forces to use the latest russian military technology, particularly in view of the rising tensions on both countries. western borders. the stay she would even like to come back. coordination of the military units of our countries is being carried out on the territory of fellers. a unified air defense system has been created and is on duty. and 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 but in defense and security spheres as well. moscow means vacuum t and talk operate very closely. to de luca shanker announced that beller is put, 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 before wide my poems visit to means queer, heard a lot from he at 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 prescott. this is how he commented on that i didn't waste key again yet. all ukrainian general said that moscow is preparing together with bella. ruth, the ground operation against the ukraine from the bellows, the 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, delusional. lose me head is to rest. he's overworked, russia and fellows have historically had very close ties always, but especially after the beginning of moscow special built reparation and ukraine

that borders valerie as well. this is what i put in the 1st visit to the capital means since 2019 before the pandemic. but fall from a rare meeting with hays bell russian counterpart as look shameka said, i mean, looking very often and some western countries, even our war ran about it. the bill of russian president stress the mondays talks come have made the very loud outside skepticism about the nature of the relations between moscow and means good particularly equality. with some claims heard about bella has been observed by russia, lucretia, and go sure that the relations are based on mutual respect and interest. he said that the relations have always been strong and will only be getting stronger. belarus is a member of the russian collective security treaty organization on the lines of post soviet countries. minsky is to check the group next year with

a number of large scale military drills planned on its territory. we heard from former senior us defense policy unless michael maloof, who said president putin's visit to bell ridge should serve as a warning to the west. i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the west 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, 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. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step. short of nucular,

of course he's, he's already stated he's not going to be using nukes. ok, unless the main, unless the federation itself is massively attack, and i would presume that's by nato. russia has slum the e used decision to impose a price count on natural gas supplies, calling it a violation of fundamental market principles. the kremlin has warned its not considering appropriate countermeasures. this is 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 e u. member states have also expressed strong opposition to the decision by the blocks leadership. the netherlands for warm, sees the restrictions, will make it harder to secure a much needed supplies of natural gas here. so take

a 40 contributor rachel marston, while the ink is even dry on this new e gas price kept struck today, 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 home, full 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 cut their fuel shipments to hungary, causing supply shortages. now that led to panic,

buying and long lines gas stations. 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 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 and a $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 that 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. racial marston on while they use seeks to obtain natural gas supplies, relations are becoming strained with one of its main providers, cut tar sais, that blocks recent moves against the gulf states, including limiting ties to, to corruption, allegations could gravely impact 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 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 of corruption scandal in the european parliament house lead to the suspension of one

of its vice presidents. their allegations of the greek m. e p, and several other individuals. accepted. lavish presence on cash from car, as part of a supposed to influence buying campaign. doha ultimately rejects the claims. nevertheless, the e. u has decided in recent days to limit its size with the gold state, as it investigates the matter. well, we heard from fella auxilary by media specialist and writer from dough her who sees the use accusations of being detrimental and it's relations with guitar. 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 supply of guitar, a gas, 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, the 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? there is an e e u mission and guitar. there is an ambassador. i think this is a clear game of some states to influence category relations. they want to achieve something and i think they will not achieve it through applying such pressure against our country. guitar rejects such attempts to pressure us if such pressure had been applied in 2017 when the crisis of the gulf states occurred. guitar would not have agreed to the conditions in the story to tell you about today, the dutch prime minister has formerly apologize for the countries 250 years of colonial slavery. however, the gestures for criticism from both the netherlands, former colonies, and dutch residents, who claim this a statement like substance it along with the little stats as if to have or

to push law for men. for centuries, the dutch state and its representatives have enabled, encouraged and benefited from slavery. for centuries, people have been made into commodities, exploited and abused in the name of the dutch state. to day. i apologize. oh if we don't accept the apology to wait was presented 1st we're going to evaluate and discuss it internally. and then give advice to the serina mr. government. they must accept the apology where to accept it. and when i ran it was to date was old by the netherlands. and i think you have noticed from the reactions that we all felt very uncomfortable with that. but the intention saw good. who does it? so suppose is came to late, man, there is so much suffering on so much hatred in the people regard in slavery that he cannot be settled with one day. it will take time whether it will ever be okay, is the question void. there is still a lot of discrimination there and the people that netherlands are not aware of

slavery, nancy pope. but the measure, ella shaw says it's about the money. the apologies are all in the wards out and with those wards you can buy anything. those people wants a little and people want to be compensated on. they and it's been so long, hopefully perceived water, but dutch were engaged in the slave trade from the early 16 hundreds, and for the following 2 and a half centuries after that, the large share of the nation's prosperity is said to have come by way of shipping captive africans to colonies in south america, estimates, but the number of enslaved africans transported all dutch vessels around 600000 native populations from serena to indonesia were also brutally exploited under the dutch empire. where we heard from a south african political, as she said, an apology is simply not enough. ah, there needs to be concrete acts to reconcile the past. i hope that it's not just

death patronized once gesture that you can simply fix decades and decades and sentence or sorry, as a result of pressure to just an announcement that says we sorry, we must see some being somewhat similar to what you seen. germany do in particular to watch tubes. ready comprehensive respirations, as part of the package that's infected, demonstrates moss and repentance. ah, moscow has opposed our reported plum for greece to trade, an old russian missile system to ukraine for more modern weaponry from the u. s. a

senior russian official points. i thought such a move would violate stipulations against re exporting military hardware to a 3rd country without direct consent router. there's always an international agreement and force when it comes to military technical corporation in our treaty and the others. there is a stipulation prohibits in a transfer to a 3rd party without the approval of the exporter. a violation of this would be a violation of an international treaty and create a very unpleasant precedence. it would be a trampling of all relevant norms, therefore would categorically reject present in such an offer because it would be a violation. that may be a report say grace is seeking to acquire advance you as patriot missile, assist them as by offering similar soviet develop. s 300 weaponry to kiev, not submit all the reports that the u. s. is leaning towards sending the patriot hardware to ukraine. athens has been seeking to strengthen its military and rising

tensions with fellow nato member states. turkey, where we are the thoughts of turkish political unless use of our m, who say such an offer by greece to ukraine wouldn't be as generous as it would be opportunistic. well, when we look at the creek position throughout the complex ukraine, we've seen that in the past they have provided the vehicle to you create exchange for newer versions of german made vehicles. so grease has been using the need for weapon re add the opportunity to attend, to renew its own lead and renew its own weapons. so obviously this offer is not an offer of charity, but a business transaction from the perspective of athens and the,

at 300 had in the past created some geopolitical problems for them being a native 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 detail friendly and inter operable patriot systems. so from a greek transactional perspective, this is a positive transaction for them. and ukraine gets, gets what they need as well, which is an air defense system which they wanted and requested many times from the west, but haven't been able to get dozens of us. lawmakers have sent a letter to fee for the non sing the organizations decision to prohibit players from wearing rainbow colored arm bands in support of l. g. b t writes during the world cup in har. now the statement expressed concerns over the treatment of gay

individuals in guitar, which officially bombs homosexuality. the u. s. democratic lawmakers said that forbidding so charm bonds come predicted fif is generally inclusive policies. now we heard from sports columnist alan murderer, who's the pickup piece with this. he believes the american politicians were taken advantage of the controversy in order to promote themselves. this is simply attention seeking, looking for votes looking for you know, signaling even more virtues. it's an embarrassment and many, many ways, and i mean, the americans for service i spoke with last couple days and even today they were embarrassed ladies because this has nothing to sport. 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 discriminatory at greatest people in their own lives.
