kind of compromise, any pressure, any, any, any loss or losses. that reminds me to mix up succeeding lives with the ukrainian shelling leaves almost half a tone and rushes belgrade region with electricity. one person is coming up into programs with our from condemns row one for supporting the m 23 militia group, which is engaged in fierce fighting against democratic republic of congo forces. while rolanda itself denies the accusation. companies in poland and germany and apply to secure or deliveries of russia. oil for next slide force all being one of the most vocal supporters of the latest price camp on russian energy

export. the from us go to the world. this is our grid to help you with this for the news our. my name's, you know, we begin in russia's belgrade region where ukrainian artillery is currently shelling the border already leaving one person wounded. that information coming from local authorities. let's go through what more we know here power i ditches. they've been reported as a result of the shelling, leaving close to half of one challenge residents with electricity in the industrial parts of the area. several warehouses where it is. well, emergency crews are currently working in the region. meanwhile, ukrainian artillery fire has also hit the very same civilian hospital in done yet for the 2nd time. in 24 hours as heavy row instruct,

residential buildings and the kindergarten to according to local authorities, are teacher among cost or if he's there and sent us this report. all ukrainian artillery struck the city of the nest cas shortly before midnight on monday. once again, one of the largest hospital here in dunn boss, 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 are surgery departments was as frog 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 grabbed 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 a $122.00 millimeter, a shell. and once again made in slovakia and supplied to ukraine by nato countries. and that these are the kinds of shelves that have 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 caused 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 all calls us in the 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 only but the walter 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 neurosurgical 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. cast something else to tell you, abides news of an enormous explosion. that's rock the republic of chiva share in central russia. it is believed to have been caused by a huge fire of a gas pipeline. let's show you some, some video that we've received, and from at local media you can see plumes of smoke rising from the spot a quite some distance that way there must have fire, isn't it? emergency services say a leak in an underground pipeline led to the blaze, as of neither no injuries reported at. we do know the line transports gas from western side barrier to europe and crosses the russian ukrainian border in the curse region. when we know a little bit more

a by this will bring it to you as well that at massive explosion occurring in the republic of chew, vashti, a number of companies in poland than germany of applied to secured deliveries of russian oil over the next year. that's despite the western price caps and sanctions that target russian industry. the head of oil pipeline company, trans neff believe businesses in europe are increasingly looking out for themselves and nor do a polluted give to me. foods come up with the politicians from poland are one thing, but they're also the rational representatives of business and authorities who understand very well the consequences of this absolutely absurd rhetoric on their economy group was, although they announced that from the 1st of january, they would not be taking oil from russia. we've recently received applications from polish consumers for 3000000 tons of oil for next year, and 360000 tons for december alone. and germany has already applied for deliveries

in the 1st quarter in that you curb to use the free. so the application comes out of the e. u set set price scalp of $60.00 per barrel, and russian crews. the limits applied earlier this month is said to be aimed at depriving moscow funds to conduct its military operation in ukraine. over the camp also sees existing sanctions relaxed, allowing european countries to by russia north, albeit at the cap price, the most vocal proponent of the plan, poland had earlier sought a higher price ceiling than that was eventually agreed. your most reduced that you spoke dorky. we cannot go back to this to pity to this bad in criminal policy, which turned countries dependent on russia and offered food. and petro dollars was euros in dollars or so that put in russia could build a war arsenal and could attack its neighbors. today we are presenting the most radical plan in europe to move away from russian hydrocarbons away from russian oil rushing gas from rushing coals. this most radical plan is needed him ugly article,

but in addition to the all account, the european union on monday adopted the highest level. it will pay for gaff $180.00 euro per megawatt per hour. now to get the sense of that number gas prices briefly reached $340.00 euro in august, but have since lowered the move was decided despite opposition from several influential states within the block, the netherlands for one phase, the restrictions will make it harder to secure the much needed energy source. there's to take a bar to contributor rachel mars. 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 are 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 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 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 controlling 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. ah, another developing story really to tell you about france has condemned ro, wanda, for bucking m 23 insurgents, who are fighting against the democratic republic of congo forces in the eastern part of the d. r. c. but par us as cold upon the sides to follow a regional peace process established in neighboring country france condenser. on to support for the m $23.00 group and calls for the lawanda,

and they will be processed to be fully implemented. less cross live notch ortiz, cut our bow let sata in johannesburg for more all miss crow, but good to see you walks. how's. busy rolanda had to say about the accusations i'm, it's perhaps good to give us a sense of the 2 countries relationship in this story as well, if you will. that is right. a bit of context is necessary with regards to this story. it is somewhat complicated and it involves the real one then genocide which took place in 1994 while the world was looking away. looking at nelson mandela integration here south africa, hundreds of thousands of ruin d's, especially towards 0, and these were being butchered and massacres. bye bye. who to rebels, who we just wanted to, to exterminate a race and

a people. but with regard to this, the accusation by france is square and it comes late. it comes on the back of the american accusation. the americans have long accused cigale of supporting the m 23 rebels that has really taken over the north eastern side of the democratic republic of congo. as you can, as you can imagine, the mineral rich country of, of the d r. c continues to be rather privy to a lot of conflicts. and the u. s. estimates that over a 120 rebel groups operates in that country as we speak. but rwanda has persistently said that they do not support the m 23 rebels. but of course the background here, the immediate background is that on november 23rd appeal was, was agreed to in the lawanda peace process. there's 2 separate piece processes with

regards to the d r c. but i'll just take you through the one that these process really mitigates for succession of hostilities and peace between the between the d r. c. army, as well as the many rebel groups. today, what we find is, what i found peculiar about the signing of the piece of quote on the 23rd of november was then focused on it was not then the president of rwanda, while the other presidents were in attendance to this party, but also l. 23 was not represented at that particular piece deal, but yet we still had a cessation of hostilities and it's kind of risk coming from france that they now acknowledge that you know, the role of the london government with regards to supporting the m 23 rebels but only 2 weeks ago, france was lobbying the european union to give more money to rwanda. some 20000000 euros, in fact, so that they're able to fight the insurgency that's happening in mozambique in the

car board delgado region. so it is really a bit of a conflicting story and an interesting development at least. but these kinds of development have seen the thought is i've seen the icing of relations between the 2 countries. before and right out right now and to hear from function. i'm the president of rwanda. how he responds to those accusations. the problem was not created by wonder, and it is not drawn this problem. it is congress problem. i cannot be responsible for congress or rwandan descent in congo who are being denied rights of citizens. the problem here is that solace. elbow and i have had a complicated relationship. france had a military operation here on the continent in, in the us, in fact that facilitated a safe passage for who's who a killing to these. and we're talking about some senior people, you know,

fringing from academics to priests that the organized a safe passage to some of those nationalists. some of those who do national is 3 groups in the d r c, allowing them to further carry on with their nefarious activities. and the hunted tuesdays in the d. r. c, as well as who twos who sympathized with those 2 things. now, following the end of the genocide in 1096, who wonder as, as a, as a way of, of attaining some sort of conclusion and holding the people who've been, who are responsible for the genocide, accountable pass, a law in which it looked specifically into the prosecution of those would be accused persons that facilitated their while the genocide but france has consistently denied the repatriation of these accused persons who continued to live in france and with and am thing. you know,

senior figures who are within the community of rwanda. when these things happen, they continue to enjoy safe have, and they continue to enjoy the liberties of any citizen or residence within french cortez. yet, the numerous number of course in france have never facilitated their prosecution in france all facilitated. they are extradition to face crime, sierra that they are being accused of in rwanda. and part of the reason has been that the fact that french court, they claim that they might not get a fair trial here. but it seems they're not even getting a trial at all with regards to paris. yeah, i think it was important to get a thoroughbred done of the the box runs all the corolla. thanks for that. our teeth trouble. let us live in our team. will m, 23 insurgents in the democratic republic of congo. they're again wreaking havoc in their latest attack. they've cut off a major supply route to the d. r. c's,

eastern city of goma, bringing the danger of a looming hunger crisis to the forefront for residents, situated near the rwandan border. gomez and major regional economic hub. it's been the focus of the conflict between the d. r. c. forces on the militia group which has intensified in recent months. and 20 three's latest advance has cut off the national road to highway which leads to go from the north and is a killing for a project from the northern farming region. we spoke to martin louis a senior researcher of a south african based security thing i could say is the situation the r c difficult or not? if for a wonders involvement in the conflict is proven the region security is the thing, do rigs are getting high on this is because of the political situation in the region. we've seen recently, detention in relations between the democratic republic of congo and rwanda.

this in my view, as we know, it actually provide opportunities for terrorist groups to take advantage. we've also seen in the past how some of the countries have actually utilize, i'm groups and territories as pawns in this kind of political tension. we don't know the fact yet in terms of these allegations against rwanda. a house of course, was completely denied involvement or any support to this group. but i think we still get to know the details and the fact around whether this is actually true, because this will be extremely damaging to the effort of the d r. c. this country has seen a fair share of conflict. it has been destroyed by conflict,

and therefore it's recent. i'm trying to establish it so to eliminate these factors of instability which the m 23 has been a constant presence in the past 10 years. ok. returning at to the cleaning done boss conflict, there are figures within the you who are examining allegations of creating the tax on civilian areas and on bus. one has hosted a form called a dumbass witnesses conference with dozens of speakers, detailing games of kids atrocities in the region. participants discuss the influence on ukraine on the 2014 government qu, that resulted in 8 years, a conflict between here on the done yes can do council photos and show portrayed the aftermath of some of the documented ukrainian attacks on residential neighborhoods. we heard from a number of the speakers to express outrage over the actions of he had sources. i

think ukraine act like these because they know that in most parts of population in don't boss, they are for russia. ah, they speak russian 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 grand deeds. seizing the power in kia. and that's why i think you grain the shell every day, cities like than yet, school ah, cooling and enduring civilian people right now. one that over to master think that's her shocked. b demoss. the was the fact that her, i've seen her how a ukrainian now army is a shelly anger against her against to people law. because when the for

example, i was he in the yes go or a in go to love car. it was not mouth to see that's where people killed or in the street a saw. it is something that sir, we cannot to accept her and we cannot accept that better. and this is an opening go also, because her over westerner weapons and another aspect on this, a former italian prime minister has said the global community has forgotten the path of peace for resolving the conflict, and instead has been fueling it with more weaponry. the latter is something we've seen in a recent pledge by british p. m. richey sooner. who said the u. k. would send another quarter of a 1000000000 pounds worth of lately to give ortiz marina cost. revel looks 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 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 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 former u. s. 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 true in peace through negotiation. how they're who that was pretty much their reaction from key f. straightaway. 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 proposed the ceasefire line along the borders existing before the special military operation began, which would see russia abandon these 4 new territories and hold onto crimea. and that would become subject of further negotiations after a ceasefire. and we've already heard a similar proposal from ellen mosque, remember, and also then 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

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 heavy weights 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 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 to the balance of power for over half or millennium is historical roles should not be degraded, but it seems that the west is sink and exactly that. and will not stop until russia

is the graded weekend and humiliated something which is highly unlikely at 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? when we got the views of investigative journalist, daniel lazar in this, who says ukraine has a essentially become a tool of the u. s. government. i think negotiations are 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 last 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. another story today, the dutch prime minister has formerly apologize for the countries 250 years of colonial slavery. however, the gestures spar criticism from both the netherlands, former colonies, dutch residents, who claimed the statement like substance you with them. they don't stand as if the date of order fish not for many more centuries the dutch states 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, we don't accept the apology, the weight was presented. first, we're going to evaluate in discuss it internally and then give advice to the selling them as government. they must accept the apology, where to accepted and when 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 though suppose just came too late. there is so much suffering so much hatred and the people we got in slavery that he cannot be settled with one day . it will take time whether it will ever be okay, is the question point. there is still a lot of discrimination there. and the people that netherlands are not aware of slavery. now, 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. people want to be compensated on. they and it's been so long. the dutch were engaged in the slave trade for around 2 and a half centuries. from the early 16 hundreds, a 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 in slave people transported on dutch vessels from africa to run 600000 native populations from serena to. indonesia were also brutally exploited under the dutch empire. we heard from a south african political analyst, an activist hussein's an apology. something not enough, as there needs to be concrete acts to reconcile a post. i hope that it's not just death patronized in once gesture that you can seem to be fixed decades and decades and sentence,

or sorry, as a result of oppression. so just an announcement that says we start, we must see some being somewhat similar to what you're seeing. germany do in particular to watch troops, comprehensive restorations as part of the package that and 2nd, demonstrators, cru, moss, and repentance, right snotty, nell hughes is back on our screens. next would another episode of our new show, $365.00. and then rory's, here out the top with all the big developments affecting the new world today. ah.
