premium finance is come with a i'm standing at a spot where one of the people died policy to decide in going yeah, it's quite to people what killed and several others wounded in ukrainian shelling among them. a full russian space chief and a high ranking local official leading russian officials say the crate and presidents demands for mon monday and weapons during a trip to washington show that neither here nor the u. s. righty is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu analysis, the formation of a new coalition, fueling speculation that the countries politics lurching further and further to the
10:01 am
right with live from oxy international headquarters here at moscow where it's just up to 6 pm on thursday. it's great to have you with us with this i was program. so 2 people have died and don't ask capital when a restaurant was hit by rocket. so among the wounded, a follow russian space chief and a high ranking local official, a more from the site without correspond roman closer ref. ukrainian military usa, high precision, nater supplied artillery against this restaurant and hotel complex in ads on ask. as a result, 2 people were killed and at least 6 were wounded. now among the wounded is a rushes former space chief, it's me 3 regarding at the head of the nest, republics, a government vitaly hurts, ankle, according to their own information. their lives are currently out of danger. now
10:02 am
the rest of the people who were, how bonded doctors are now fighting to save their lives. now the number of casualties may still rise as information is still coming in this or restaurants. and how cell complex is located on the outskirts of the city of birds. or nest it now flies completely destroyed, was a very popular place among the locals. now, like i said earlier, at least 2 people have been killed as the result of this strike. now i'm standing at a spot where one of the people died, according to officials. there were at least 5 high precision strikes, and they're saying that ukrainian military used at 155 millimeter caliber rockets supplied by nato countries to ukraine, ukraine's high precision artillery strikes against this restaurant took place. so
10:03 am
shortly before 8 pm one, this restaurant was full of people and of course, the hotel above us also had a residence sir, ah, in it's now the employees are now trying to salvage whatever is left from this property. but obviously this restaurant will now be a shut down. looks like they were preparing for the upcoming christmas holidays and christmas events here in the 1st round. but obviously now they will not be taking place or among costs or have already done as republic, shutting off. don't you ask her, comes exactly at the time when the landscape is visiting washington, his 1st apparent trip overseas since the start of the conflict. now it is a visit the shows ukraine's leader is more interested in securing lethal arms than securing peace. well, that is according to top russian officials, you know, it's really, we know with regret that neither biden nor lensky have spoken words that could be perceived as
10:04 am
a potential willingness to listen to russia's concerns. no words have been heard warnings lensky against the shelling of residential buildings and don boss, and no cause for peace have been made. this shows that the united states is de facto and indirectly fighting to the last ukranian zelinski visit to washington and his conversations. he has shown that needed the u. s. administration knows lensky is ready for peace. the focus was on the conflict, the desk of ordinary soldiers, and the further into connection of the ukrainian regime with the needs of washington. or even some western media outlets echoed a similar sentiment. questioning why the us should keep sending so much money and weapons to ukraine. in fact, the fox news or lead anchor tucker carlson, he said kiev has no right to demand washington continue to profit up with tens of $1000000000.00 in financing with a historic debt to ukraine. do the historic animosity with non soviet russia? no, no. how do we win here? what's in it for us, isn't this our country?
10:05 am
and where are you going to talking to us like that? we hate ourselves so much to have so little respect for the united states of america that will put up with that that will applaud it. thank you sir. may i have another? what's wrong with us? what's wrong with our leaders? during zaleski his visit, he address congress and expressed gratitude to the us for the weapons already provided. but then he asked for more after the meeting, it was agreed, the patriot missile system would soon be delivered to ukraine. meanwhile, mass blumenthal, the editor of the great zone, investigative journalism site has posted on twitter, his exchangers with delegates representing the ukrainian diaspora, as they made their way to congress, haven't listened to this is 45000000000, not enough. not enough yet. how much? how much more should we give to ukraine instead of our own people? do you, do you do support the as of italian,
10:06 am
so no more of it adds up and there's no more values where we're train and recruited back into a former professional army over the last 8 years. so the neo nazis were brought into the army. no, no, no, we are not seaford not a bit. so no answer about if you pray as a democracy. why did zalinski ban 13 opposition? partial law. we think that the national marshal law sounds on democratic, why did he ban the russian wing of the orthodox church? and i still want that extra to serving as the keys in this organization. and with found, with materials that were legal and financing that the enemy war against innocent people. i oppose the assault on don. yes. do you the shelling of the people have done yes. do you oppose that? you know, no. are you why, why are civilians being killed and done yet? lugens, if you oppose that reaction from georgia, samuel, there is a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. always good to see you.
10:07 am
george. thanks for coming on the program with you. we've just been hearing this video shot by journalists. max blumenthal with exchange is with delegates that he says are representing the ukranian diaspora. they were walking, making their way to congress. they seemed very reluctant to toll. it's a broad question, but what you have anything, any inkling as to why straight off the top of your head, they wouldn't really want to talk? well obviously they, they saw in mag blumenthal, a hostile voice or a voice that represents a point of view that they are not used to. and they have no ability to respond. but it's interesting that you know, when, when he asked is $45000000000.00 enough. basically they mediately said no. and in that entirely representative of the political media class in the united states, $45000000000.00 is not enough. $100000000000.00 is not enough. you know what the, what isn't up because there is no some that is enough in this absolutely
10:08 am
determine, illogical perspective of washington, which is somehow to defeat russia, overthrow the government, the booty, and the return of russia to the good old days of the 1990 s, that's the agenda of washington, and for that, you know, they just willing to spend any amount of money, but they like, but georgia wanted, wanted to ask you about the, basically your take on zillow case, visit himself. i, you said they basically pushed up 45000000000 more for him and he came out and said that simply not enough. i had a guest on yesterday who was saying the reason the landscape going to washington is because he's having a difficult time securing further funding and weapons from the white house, your thoughts. i don't see it to be honest, i think as far as the united states is concerned, i think europe is
10:09 am
a different case. but as far as the united states is concerned, the, the check book is, is black. you know, made your own some and they're willing to give it to him. i mean, there's obviously some speculation and maybe the landscape is concerned about the republicans taking over the house. and then as a result may be the, the money will run dry. i don't really see it. yes, it's true that there are some republicans, such as marjorie de la greene or mad gate, and one or 2 others who are very critical of the lensky and very critical of the cold american commitment to ukraine. but there are minority then off the significant figures within the republican party, even within the house, the people who control the purse strings, the people who control the committees. they are all of the guns though, the landscape. and we don't even have to go into the whole mitch mcconnell and the senate republicans so you know, who, who said that the most important problem in the world today is your grade. so this
10:10 am
little job is going to be any real change in washington. well, i mean obviously there was, there is a fair amount of pomp and circumstance involved with his visit, rolling out the red carpet essentially. and i guess the landscape in a sense was kinda welcomed home like the son who just graduated from university. but i wanted to ask you about, so essentially ok, so the u. s. b u. s. government, that pos, passing up a 45000000000 to the landscape. but they actually made it a clause in the saying that this money and weapons must not go to the neo nazi as off. but talia and i was really surprised to see after all these months. western officials suddenly acknowledging the neo nazi as a battalion and american dollars and weapons mustn't go to them. how do you read into that george? well, it is interesting. i mean that, that has that is a change. it may well be an attempt to accommodate the republicans because why the school that overall that wouldn't be any real change of
10:11 am
policy. if there are now more republican voices saying, we need to do an audit of this money that's being spent. i mean, i don't think it's going to amount to anything. i don't think it's make any material significant difference. but there are voices such as sen, around roll, you know, maybe we should just go through these numbers. i think $100000000000.00. that's an awful lot of change, you know, maybe we should just do a minimum of accounting and to find out where all the money went. so i think there was that point about the as well, but there is a stop to the people like ran full. yup. if you do, we will take much more serious attention to where this money is going, but i wouldn't bet on it. i don't the, you know, they, they really going to be various theories of i've looking into this money it's, it's already been pretty clear. so father george, that the amount of money so far that's been sent into ukraine for this conflict,
10:12 am
whether it be from america or various european partners or the money sent, has already passed out of russia's annual budget for its entire military, for the biggest country in the world, i wanted to ask you about an article that i'm sure you saw george. i think it was from politico where they go to a conversation leaked from the white house where some members of the white house was saying, we're going to start whittling down the amount of funding we're giving to ukraine because we want to start dropping the ukraine story further down the televised news cycle, it's been har, is that may sound, but that's apparently what was said. we're seeing, for example, you know, if it does, if they do with it down a bit in washington, will that have a knock on domino effect ratio soon after you k prime minister, the latest aid package for ukraine as all the way down to 300 something a 1000000 pounds, much less that was what being said before, is it possible that we are going to see this, you think a certain whistling down of funding and, and dropping down the new cycle of the ukraine conflict story when i have
10:13 am
my doubts, european problem is a very specific problem which the americans don't really have and the europeans are really suffering as a result of this war. and there is real war wariness among the european people, particularly as they go into the cold winter. and, you know, astronomical electricity prices, gas prices and everything, you know, inflation, it, sir, is economic issue in europe. but the united states, ukraine is really a freebie. i mean it's, it's an easy one. they can sell a lot of money off this money isn't really good. ukraine is actually going to the the u. s. defense industry. they making out like bandits. that's where that money is going. so that's nicely boosting the america, the economy. and you're americans are really suffering as a consequence. there aren't any casualties. there's no,
10:14 am
this is different from iraq and afghanistan when americans are losing light, then are losing line. you gradient losing lives. russians are losing like, but the americans don't care about that. the european economy is gradually sinking into kind of globally relevant the americans are quite happy about that. they've always wanted to eliminate europe as an economic rival. so i don't see the incentive for the americans to cut and run from ukraine unless they believed that ukraine was on the brink of defeat. and therefore, you know, america was racing humiliation. and you know, from what i can gather from the voices coming from the administration, the, the united states doesn't believe that ukraine is facing an imminent decreed. why thing? i think you make a very good point that ga, certainly be noted by some european politicians in the past week or so that the u. s. military industrial complex is profiting, as you said, like bind, it's a bit that's ongoing, completely in ukraine, but so america's profiting from the military industrial complex, the u. s. economy is profit from this company,
10:15 am
but also america selling l. n g to europe at 4 times the price who is coming out with all the lion's share of the profit. well, i won't even go any further. george w. l, a senior research fellow with the global policy institute. great to see you. thanks for that. thank you very much. ah, but a puzzling and premature. that's how china has described e u plans to hold hearings at the world trade organization on its sanctions against lithuania, blocking a dispute hearing along with another on the protection of high tech patterns. you want to get the full scoop on this with archie contributor rachel marston. well, this is a case of play stupid games of wind stupid prizes. that's what the baltic state of lithuania seems to be doing with china. and it's really costing them big time in exports. about 90 percent of which china has now blocked, including wheat and refined copper from lithuania. so that's bad news, not just for lithuanian economy,
10:16 am
but also for the european union's. so what led to china's embargo against lithuanian products? well, it was the combination of a series of acts that would normally be difficult to explain for a country that's part of the european union. the blocks taught trading partner is china and has an official one china policy that doesn't recognize taiwan as separate from beijing. but lithuania has literally parroted washington's criticisms of china on everything from anti beijing protests in hong kong to the legit treatment of or miss treatment of muslim wiggers to the promotion of a strong tie one. and it's this last point that was the last straw for beijing. when in august 2021, taiwan opened a taiwanese representative office in the lithuanian capital of vilios. by the way, this past august, lithuania did the same thing. opening
10:17 am
a representative office in taipei. and here's how china reacted to that at the time . there is only one china in the world tie. one is an inalienable part of the people's republic of china. china family rejects any form of official interaction with ty, one by any country, having diplomatic ties with china, with family reject any acts that contravene the universal consensus of the international community and basic norms of international relations. so what this means is that twice with the opening of each of these offices in their respective places, lithuania was essentially recognizing and city taiwan, that even the e u doesn't officially recognize as separate from china, but which go figure the u. s. on the other hand is always trying to promote as defacto independent despite washington. also having a one china policy officially and kind of curious, isn't it? so earlier this year, as this whole charade was playing out,
10:18 am
beijing just really had enough of watching with winnie and washington play footsie under the table while thinking that no one could actually see them. and china just flat out band, the imports of products from lithuania, and that includes european products that even contain components. from lithuania, it also downgraded diplomatic ties with the baltic state. we urge the lithuanian site to correct its mistakes immediately and not to underestimate the chinese people's thumb determination. i'm stuck to resolve to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. all right, so when lithuania star to release the oh boy, we're kind of in a pickle now. go figure that it wasn't long until the not so secret boyfriend came flying out of the woodwork and us treasury secretary, or sorry, u. s. secretary of state, anthony blink and swept into vilnius last november with a delegation to lithuania and with some trade support. and since then,
10:19 am
the u. s. has been saying, yeah, well, you are in a bit of a pickle. maybe it's a bit much and maybe just don't call your representative office. there are the taiwanese representative office, but maybe something else that doesn't suggest that taiwan is some kind of self governing country like, oh, call it the type hey, representative office. but last summer, as you, as how speaker nancy pelosi was doing her war drum bongo performance during a visit to taiwan, lithuanian government officials thought it would also be a good idea to do the same thing. china beg to differ and slack sanctions on with when and officials the visit tramples on the one china principal seriously into fees in china's internal affairs and undermines turn a sovereignty and territorial integrity. so now after china refusing to just go along with these western attempts to subvert it, sovereignty and even western official policy, either subverting that to the e. u wants to now
10:20 am
a wind to the world trade organization. maybe at some point brussels will realize that if it had defended, it's an lithuania, his own sovereignty from washington's attempt to use it as a proxy to promote its policies. visa ivy, china in this case, then perhaps it wouldn't have this whole ness on it's hand warships from russia's pacific fleet. and the chinese navy have started drills and a joint military exercise. it's cold naval interaction 2022. the 2 countries are detachments they met in the open waters of the east of china. c rushes formation was led by the flagship of the pacific fleet, a basically the counterpart of the chinese to storage. anon. during the training, the 2 navies practice technical maneuvering and honed calms. the annual exercises, though, as i say, happen every year been ongoing since 2012 so
10:21 am
the e u is full of it. corruption, that is. that's from hong darian prime minister, big to order. but as he slaps brussels with condemnations on recommends pulling the plug on the muddy waters. me with, i mean that it will be 7 brussels is full of corruption cases. the question is why the checks and balances, or the defense mechanisms didn't work. he said, i would like to ask, where were the investigative journalists and brussels? i think a lot of people have a to do list, but i think the most important thing is to drain the swamp. to what extent has the credibility of european parliament been damaged and hungry? it's a non question because it cannot be a negative. well, a statement comes on the heels of an emerging corruption and bribery scandal, but as rock the e. you may swear, eva. kylie has been suspended as vice president of the european parliament after she in a former italian politician, have been accused of being on the take to the tune of one and a half 1000000 euros from the likes of morocco. and i thought of piano. the pair of
10:22 am
countries though, as i think basically they both rejected what they call unfounded allegations. well, the vice president of the alternative germany party in bavaria raina roth 1st. now joining us here live on the program and a very good evening to you. so thanks so much for coming on with us here at archie international, i think to order been accusing brussels of being full of corruption cases say it ain't so right now. i mean, of course there is a fight going on between arbiter or bon and the european union and he is not really right, but he's also not wrong. and he's not the only one in the world criticizing brussels for always trying to lecture the world about moral standards for doing politics. and now being trent in a really severe corruption case. and so this weekend, of course, a little bit the position of the european union in on going fi it again,
10:23 am
victorian and hungry. you think it's you think it's perhaps linked to the science that hungary has essentially been my guess, allying itself with the side of russia ever since the ukraine conflict got underway, you hungry? i should say it's been opposed to the sanctions. the anti energy sanctions as well . is that some sort of politics getting involved here? do you think? definitely, but the world has been going on already before the breaking out of the actual conflict in ukraine. so it goes beyond this, but of course to all bon has represented in the standpoint of the european union to what's russia, the realistic and pragmatic position? i would say yes, always cold for dialogue for finding a solution which takes into consideration also the interests of the russian side, their legitimate security interests. and therefore, he has been, of course,
10:24 am
severely criticized because the european union tried to keep all the 27 member states in one line, which is a very aggressive line against russia. and which is a line completely following the united states. and i think we are seeing now that's somewhat of a turning point where this situation may change in the near future. because the european union has seen that the united states not are not, are not always their strongest allies. we are now trying to sec, investments from the european union to the united states in the form of the inflation reduction act. and this is going to perf european union to be really in a phase where it is already in trouble because of the sanctioned policies. this or
10:25 am
this whole inflation reduction act that you refer, refer to there. it's well right now, it's something that's already getting reaction for various european politicians, including of course, frances, are manual macro and he's saying we've got to do some sort of legislation to protect us from america's inflation reduction. because it's very interesting to see how at the end of the day, the, it's always about the economy years. and if it comes down to the economy and certainly lines isn't big business. and i wanted to ask you to order, but it talks about the damaged credibility of the european parliament in hungary. and this is actually been talked about now for a few years. obviously, it's not a main main topic, but there is a certain amount of frustration, i guess what, what would you recommend the european parliament due to perhaps menace reputation in hungary? is there an easy road there, or is it more multifaceted than that? no, i mean the damage is really severe and it cannot be overestimated because in the view of the citizen, not only hungary, but all over europe. of course,
10:26 am
one severe corruption case, pains the whole institution in a negative color. and this is maybe not just that it's of course, the result that only one p and parliament. and it will be really hard to find now and to re establish trust of the citizens in the european institutions. and so the proposal of victor or bon off abolishing the direct voting for parliamentarians. so that you parliament and replacing them by delegates who are you seeing elected nationally and been delegated to brussels is a very good proposal. but of course, it hurts the plans of the you to become a full fledged sovereign state of 27 members. and therefore, surely it will not be accepted. so it's a hard way out for the european union,
10:27 am
and i cannot tell them how to solve the problem. i, vice president of the alternative germany party in bavaria raina ross was joining us live here on into national. always great to see you. thanks for that right now. thank you. thank you. but one of the most ultra right governments in israel history is about to get up and running. that's as an incoming prime minister. benjamin netanyahu analysis abroad, new coalition with more on the forms that were more, i guess actually what forms the core of this new israeli government details now with maria phenomena in jerusalem. and as before, the midnight deadline, benjamin netanyahu cold days rally for president and informed him that he has managed 7 weeks after he won the elections to form a government. but everybody now already agrees is going to become the most far right government in the country's history. the had of israel's ultra nationalist, jewish power of faction, ban greer, is among the most controversial politicians in the new coalition known as
10:28 am
a devoted follower. all these really influential robbie, whose polity wanted to establish a pure jewish society, been very subtler himself who is living now in the occupied west bank hayes, famous for his promises to change the long agreed status quart in the holiest for all muslims. alex, a mosque lay jewish higher right now, not allowed to pray there though. they allowed to enter it the policy that ben greer already called racist, vowing to change it to ended very alarm in statement banker. he's going to become the country's national security minister, responsible for all police. and this is what he earlier said about the math it's to achieve the security he'll be responsible for troops should get out. stop and shoot, and not use rubber. bullets. a sponge, tipped bullets, life for that will be the law process action. you really fulfill the honor of all of us and did what was assigned to you mrs. session and be occupied. westbank has
10:29 am
recently been very tens and very turbulent. these railey army intensified its military raids in the northern part of it. and very often it led to fatalities including among civilian population. according to the palestinian authority, dozens of police did in kids have been killed. as a result, this is how and other member of been groups party common to them that earlier. so i will tell you something that is very unpleasant to say if it is one israeli mother crying or a 1000 palestinian mothers crying, then the 1000 palestinian mothers will cry. we are too merciful. it's time for us to stop being so it has nothing to do with racism. you will, as well as numerous local and international human rights organizations have already informed that alarm the international community, about numerous violations and valid crimes committed by israel in the occupied west bank and other controversial figure. and then you call lucian. the head of the religious sign is from politics. who is going to become responsible for the
10:30 am
territories of fairies? mister small church said that these organizations is a pure threat for israel. it started small. and today we understand the magnitude of the threat just like the nationalist extremism of the arabs in the state of israel, who also started small. but the threat has evolved at 1st. you think it's a mosquito and then you understand it's a swarm. many israeli politicians have already expressed their concerns that then you government will be able to park a wide range confrontation with palestinians and barry along the way to 2 state solution. and they rarely palestinian conflict with the countries jewish community . very alarmed as well. netanyahu's coalition government gives power to violent right wing extremists who seek to incite political violence and who will put lives at risk on the top down netanyahu on his new coalition endanger both israelis and palestinians.
