one of them 11 us getting up with a, with a, in ours, it's all for a shooting which left at least 3 people dead earlier today. a members of the kurdish community gather the cultural center near to where the attack took place. if we were still in afghanistan, it would have, i think, made much more complicated, the support that we've been able to give and that others have been able to give you a to withdraw from afghanistan, helped to free up resources to resist russia and ukraine. conflict began around 6 months. dr. troops pulled from cobbled. that's how the u. s. secretary of state

respond to criticism of the move. quote, another betrayal. that's how some human rights activists brand the u. s. spending bill. i didn't neglect tens of thousands of african refugees who fled to america in the wake of washington's withdrawal in 2021. in the program we speak with a former and government. i think in the united states is displayed african 7, several times over. you know, it's not the 1st time a no shortage of heavy hitting stories and that was program from moscow. welcome to him . it's salty international. so just quickly an update. now from france, as we understand crashes did break out, empowers offer a shooting near a code is cultural center, left, 3 people, bed 3, others wounded. and we got this report from a local john most good morning and the security forces have arrived. they are right

behind me. a group of courage protested, gathering behind me ex imo north. it's very dangerous here the projectiles are fine. all around with the police have thrown the stun grenay near me. it didn't explode. it's becoming very dangerous here. hm . ah .

well you can see you can see the smoke as police use tear gas to disperse the crowd fair as members of the local law. curtis community gathered near the side. now a suspect was detained for the shooting and authorities are investigating. if there were any racial motives behind the tack to contribute to rachel marston is in paris with the shooting happened in paris. it 10th on the small just before at noon today . friday, 3 dead and several are injured to witnesses speak of somebody. i had a man in a sixty's who reached into a bag and pulled out a pistol and just started firing people in a seemingly random basis. it happened in at a kurdish cultural center in approximately thereof. members of the kurdish community have since been gathering around the center outside of police brigade is present, and police are telling people to avoid the area,

but the representatives of the current community are directing their anger at turkey. now it's important to underscore that we really don't know much about the suspect and we don't have a name at this point. we don't know what his links are if any, to any kind of community. he 69 year old man and he is in custody. now the suspect is known to police for 2 prior a legit homicide attempts in 20162021. now the 1st one was during the course of the break in at his own home in which he was a victim. and apparently he attacked the perpetrator with a knife on the 2nd one, not so a legit it was in december of last year when he at night a bunch of migrants ada. migrate. camp in paris is 12th on the snow and authority say he had just been released from custody from that incident. now authorities have opened an investigation into this incident, and they are already specifying potential accusations of assassination voluntary

homicide and aggravated violence. that's what they're looking into, and that's all we know at this point. the u. s. secretary of state responds to criticism of a law shoes withdrawal of mac honest on saying it has helped to free up resources for a conflict. the started around 6 months later when it comes to russia's war against ukraine. if we were still in afghanistan, ah, it would have, i think, made much more complicated the support that we've been able to give. and that others have been able to give you kind to resist and push back against the russian aggression. well, it certainly sounds like he suggesting it could have been more than pure coincidence that the united states decided to ditch afghanistan right before it decided to shift its attention to ukraine. i mean, just the sheer haste with which the u. s. left afghanistan and the chaos that was allowed to spread or reason enough for

a lot of people to wonder why was that the case? i mean we saw civilians clinging to an airplane falling to their deaths, suicide bombers. and the taliban got their hands on a lot of us equipment. so naturally it's had a lot of people raising questions about whether or not this was all part of some sort of bigger plan that washington had. isn't it suspicious that we were just told that we had to leave the afghan war very sloppily? by the way, we announced that out of august 31st 2021. and then the very next day on september 1st, america said that they were due, we were joining in effort. we were locking onto the e, you joint effort to help you crane join nato. after all, washington spent over $2.00 trillion dollars on this over 20 year long military operation that it had in afghanistan. and a few us was looking at another potentially multi trillion dollar conflict. i think it goes without saying that that would have been very difficult to sustain. is it possible that that wasn't who knew what was coming in ukraine and was essentially

getting, getting ready for it? well, there are actually a lot of indications that indeed they may have because before in august of 2021 before the afghanistan withdrawal, the united states actually resurrected a long range artillery command center in germany that was last used during the cold war. and this was long before there was any talk of open hostilities, clean ukraine and russia. or we can actually look at the american lend lease act of 820221 of the main pieces of legislation that is facilitating the sort of blank check that key has for western weapons. it was introduced in january over a month before russia launched its special military operation, actually. and we can even look on top of all that. what a number of western officials have said about the minsk ceasefire agreements to 2014 minsk agreement. was an attempt to give the crane time you craig, use this time to become strong as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of to day. i did the minsk

agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukranian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato standard. now, people who are skeptical might write off all that is circumstantial evidence on its own, but that's not all. we should also take into account what us politicians have openly said about the united faith, a foreign policy attitude towards russia. moreover, is one witness put a during our impeachment inquiry, united states age ukraine, and her people so that we can fight rush over there and we don't have to fight russia here. now unfortunately, it looks like today we're seeing exactly that ukrainians, fighting and dying to accomplish the united states foreign policy objectives. and unfortunately, it looks like he has learned nothing from the neglect with which u. s. forces treated their former allies in afghanistan as the smoke of war cleared

. also on this topic of the u. s. a secretary of state has praised washington's assistance efforts overseas and reiterated america's commitment to afghanistan. as we look ahead to 2023, we will continue to use all of our diplomatic tools to drive these priorities and many others, including maintaining our commitment to the people who are gonna stand. particularly those who support the u. s. mission there over 20 years. as well as the stand up for the rights of women and girls. on friday, the u. s. loa household, the vote on a government funding bill, which are us based human rights group has denounced it completely. forgetting us guns, the so called afghan adjustment act is not reported being dropped from the bill. though it is aspiring anger from various pro afghan groups. this feels like another betrayal of afghans by the united states, by a small group of senators who hold deep anti immigrant views of our community,

who now throw 80000 and afghans in legal limbo in what is especially a dark week for us. our community is being left to pick up the pieces yet again. i was speaking earlier with a former afghan governor abdulla he was, he said it's not the 1st time the people of afghanistan was essentially been forgotten. i think the united states is the trade afghans a several times over. you know, it's not the 1st time they are betrayed. afghanistan in 2012, when the announced that the war is over and the waters over against the tourist groups. and we are moving out of afghanistan, and i was the governor serving an old province and renew, you know that there was a research in south taliban and al qaeda and other terrorist groups in afghanistan . and african government wasn't able to, to hold its position against these terrorist organizations. then the 2nd time in may and the announce, you know, that by the 5th, by the month of august,

you know, they would be leaving afghanistan. once again, you know, i've come to the trade because africans, african government was not really, you know, to sustain itself. and as a result, we have seen that with the collapse of the republic government, and that's on top of one other risk organizations taking over afghanistan. no, it's not only, you know, the eighty's been discontinued for afghanistan is a discontinued to those africans put their life in line with the us army. i mean, they would not be assisted. those who are in the united states, those were waiting to be evacuated. and in other countries, and i thought in other countries and those africans who are still fitting the lives there in afghanistan, that they would not be assisted. you not be aided and anymore. so could i have your company for this program? quote, germany doesn't want people who don't know our culture. a speech by a politician has led to outrage and disbelief after a claim that housing migrants and asylum seekers in gymnasiums was bleeding,

schooled in a recreational sports dry. this is phyllis, i want to intentionally say loud and clear even before christmas that it is not our intention to bleed schools or recreational supports for the asylum policy. and i also don't want to follow the path where we would people who come to us. we don't know our culture in multi family houses, and for that reason i believe social freedoms are in danger uploaded. and the remarks by which the district administrator in the state of saxony caused varying and reactions and the conservative cd you party, germany's strongest opposition, which she does represent the regions as see the you prime minister said the comments have been taken out of context, but there was also criticism from within the number of asylum seekers in germany has jumped by a 3rd compared to last year. several cities have started putting up tents and turned convention centers into temporary accommodations. and that's, as regular places are hosting migrants, they will become over crowded. in fact,

one area even been forced to host refugees in a former airport. meanwhile, in the netherlands, a court exposes double standards and the refugee system as an rules that accommodation for non ukrainian migrants in the country is an adequate and they must be given the same treatment as ukrainians. it comes off to the dutch refugee agency, sued the state, claiming migrant centers do not meet the international side as well. we can take this conversation further with the bus. she could she, the danish pakistani, author consultant on minority rights who are joining us to live on this program from moscow. a very warm welcome to you. so why do you think ukrainians of potentially being treated differently than refugees from africa and the middle east? for some foreign country for an indication is very important and why your topic? your question can be explained in different ways. but 1st, because ukrainians are white and christian in denver,

where i live and the rest of for years and countries ukrainians are considered as european. and as one of us, so people from our failure, especially from middle east, are considered as unwanted because of their religion, culture and ethnicity. it is a new thing in denmark or in europe, it has been going on for a long time. i have been working the didn't shoot for the last 40 years and they are emperor documentation reports, which will tell you what i'm saying. or i missed the career just saying that there's a kind of a cultural and social bias to a to different forms. i guess all refugees in europe, but i wanted to ask you earlier this year an anchor present of al jazeera, so that ukrainian refugees, a quote, middle class people in comparison to refugees from elsewhere. so do you think class and race does have something to do with it? well, i don't, i haven't seen that program and i don't know if that

a porter was from middle east or was from europe. but this kind of statement is based on ignorance and lack of fact ukrainian, a few these come from all type of social classes. and even if some do come from source middle class, there are many other groups like studios for example. they're all educated. that came from middle class, but they're 2 different. and the problem is that if you run for your life, it doesn't matter. you come from your grand or shar, whichever country and you should give protection and you should not be disconnected because you're from middle class are who are background. what do you think? i mean, generally speaking, when we go back to the origin of the migrant crisis in europe, it goes back a good 10 years. germany and other european countries were opening their doors and

angle america at the time, was welcoming all sorts of refugees and migrants to come in for essentially for a better life. you're in copenhagen, denmark right now. is there a large migrant presence where you live? and if so, what is the general sentiment among the low fools you live, that when i don't use the word migrant? because there are people who came in sixty's to do some work, and then they became danny citizens. and then a harlem you get food, you came from different part of the world, and then people from east europe. so this word, migrant gives a very wrong picture. i think that it's very important to understand that your countries are now intercultural and ethnic so you can say that europe is no white and christian, but many europeans do want to still have that perception that if you are non white and non christian, then you don't belong here so that when i go on speak with different ethnic groups,

they feel very uncomfortable because for the last 1015 years, you're going to have changed from welcome me to saying to people, stay away. you don't belong here so that that pain has, has come. now do you think, do you think so when it comes to the welcoming of various, whether it's refugees or emigres coming into your if you think that welcoming is. busy more practiced by the politicians, or is it more by the every day joe, who works at the local bakery who works at the local shopping mall, where, where is the welcoming really coming in from when it comes to refugees, for example, in 2015, he didn't if you just came to europe ended america. busy was a christian, a wonderful person by heart. and she opened it because the war was in,

was started by the best for the new people who are running for the life. but in, in denmark and the rest of the europe, most part edition actually openly saying that these people will stay in the neighboring country. this will not come here because they don't belong here. so, and media has played a very important part. don't forget that because you know, prince make stories in radio and television with creat impression that these people are a burden in the, in the and the society the living here. but when it comes to ukrainian media has been a very positive part for them. we have a big newspaper, you can one of the largest newspaper and his headquarters daily. you can fly flying on dentist, parliament building. there's a you came in for greg prime. so the politician and media has created this

perception that the, that people are, we must have them there may, especially last for you mean so that they can start working from day one. their children can go to school and they can have all the facilities which were not available for the city. and one of the other few years who came to denmark, some very interesting commentary from a bachelor ratio, danish, pakistani, author and consultant on a minority rights, a great pleasure to have you on the program. thank you for your time. you're very much. the quoted, the reorientation of russia's energy resources was one of the major changes this year. that's according to deputy prime minister alexander of novak, and she's summed up how russia rolling global markets changed in 2022. is that an interest in the d. c. as a result of unfriendly actions, energy resources are being re orientation to other markets, to the market, to friendly companies who are the 1st of all, these are the asia pacific region,

africa, and african countries. the latin american countries also co partners who introduce such economic restrictions against russia and considering them as economic, although in fact they are political from an economic point of view, they will only home themselves intently. we see the rising prices in europe in the us. we see inflation, which has never been seen before and which is counted in double digit. and we see many industries closing as a result of rising prices and a shortage of energy resources. with russia, as deputy prime minister added that next year could be even tougher for the e u, which will have to find a new way to cover its energy deficit without russian oil. a band on seaborne imports of crude from russia was part of the latest sanctions package from brussels, while further restrictions on the import of oil products into the e. u kicks off in february. a russia accuses the u. s. and other western countries of attempting to artificially manipulate international markets. new legislation

from moscow freeze the state gas export a gas problem from fulfilling obligations on the foreign contracts. if it violates national guidelines. the specifics of the price designation should be determined by the end of next week. it's a much since the lesson that we believe that our energy resources are in demand despite the balance supplies and embargo on shipments to the usa, canada, the u. k. in europe, our resources are in demand because there is a need in the world in this, russia is the largest supply of oil and petroleum products. we're ready to go for a reduction in terms of production and with haps this will happen when we believe that in the current situation, it is possible to take risks rather than be guided by the price comp policy thing to israel. now where designated prime minister benjamin netanyahu forms are new coalition, ultimately creating one of the most right wing governments in israel's history. a reported clause in the deal sees west bank annexation as

a priority. the prime minister will lead to formulation and advancement of policies within the framework of applying sovereignty in judea and samaria. while it was over it all ready that with people like mr. small 3, for example, they had always rose far, right? religious design is in polity was in charge of the territories affairs in the new government. benjamin netanyahu was already planning proposed for a stronger israeli control over parts of today and tomorrow we have biblical names for the occupied west bank. but this new information seems to take us even further . a number of very important steps were already agreed to strengthen his rose, hold on area. see of the occupied west bank, the biggest of 3 administrative divisions within the west bank that according to the 1993, all low court was supposed to be handed to the palestinian jurisdiction, but instead was always under full israeli control. israel says that all measures

needed for security reasons, but fears and concerns are that a toil hard y scale confrontation with the palestinians and bring even more violence to the area. these ia has been the deadliest for the occupied. westbank was at least $150.00 palestinians, and $71.00 israelis killed since the beginning of these here, the highest, dest. so since 2006, and will also very alarming, there appears to be a little accountability. new data shows that less than one percent of israeli soldiers accused of harming and killing palestinians in the west bank and gaza strip in the last 5 years have ever been charged. the figures for 2017 to 2021. demonstrate the military law enforcement systems, complete disregard for palestinian lives. its conduct precludes any possibility of de terence and encourages the continued use of the deadly trigger happy policy that has claimed so many palestinian lives. it seems as though the military law

enforcement is main function is white washing crimes committed against palestinians, vice railey soldiers. so nathan, yahoo steps, awards what appears to be a plan for a complete annexation of they occupied west bank are unlikely to be welcomed by the palestinians. obviously, but internationally, they might be problems to just recently and alleged a new document was late showing the blocks intention to push for a complete re unification of all parts of notified west bank on the palestinian authority. and neither will probably be un support benjamin netanyahu plans really pleased. this is what it's a cobra report concluded the commission finds that there were reasonable grounds to conclude that the israeli occupation of palestinian territory is now unlawful under international law. owing to its permanence into actions, undertaken by israel tactics, parts of the land de facto and the jury in the years community seems to be worrying hundreds of rubbish in the us for example. and now,

pledging to block the members of the coalition design a party from speaking at their synagogues and inside israel. many politicians have also expressed concerns and fears that nathan yet was new governments the most far right in the country's history will buried along the way to 2 state solution to these rally poly student conflicts that yeah, now it says that he aim to swear in the new government in the coming week? well in the meantime, he's not even in power yet, and he's already causing big waves. time to learn more here on the program crossing live now to get commentate, if i'll hot at amir. all right, who's also a defense and government analyst and legendary journalist? always a pleasure to see you. thank you very much for coming on the program here at asi international. do you think, is it possible that a, that israel may have a crossed a line here, a mirror? well possible, but the improbable. because this seems to be a political rhetoric for several reasons. nathan, you know,

doesn't want friction with united states with any international body. and for instance, we saudi arabia because now to appease the aims, is to get the peace agreement, we react and to the care and perhaps attack iran. both of these efforts would be impossible if there is friction with washington and others. so it seems to be only a rhetorical concession to he's to messianic partners without whom there will be no government. and while i your report stated that he's about to swear, read his government. he's not yet successful and very steal a slight chance that the government will not before well. so it's so the, basically the idea is the annexation of further territories and properties in the

west bank. it is apparently a top priority for this new, the new coalition government under net and yo, i wanted to ask you, is it maybe i'm stretching here? but is it just a coincidence that this coalition, for example, was formed? soon after the e. u announced it was agreeing to help palestinians with their rights or, or is it not connected? do you think? no, it's not connected because netanyahu is desperate to go back to power as prime minister because of his legal travels. he's, as, you know, standing trial appease quite astonishing that these reli democracy because of some critical, the law allowed me, the accused i, we standing trial for bribery or corruption offenses that he's able to stand for election and to actually serve as prime minister. so as long

as he's prime minister, he wields a lot of power over the judiciary. once he stripped from his position, he's actually defenceless. this is why he's willing to pay any price at all to he's partners. and pop up to price is the rhetorical concession rig dot, regarding annexation, it is virtually impossible for israel to and next, any territory without breaching the 2 piece agreements with egypt and jordan, in addition to the other justified criticism which it will absorb. so this is why it as a bully patient needs right now saying yes, we will. and next, maybe even moscow will be an act if this is what they demand. but the actuality he is not going to breathe because he's unable to. so as you

say, a mirror that ult, ultimately it would be a breaching a breaching of an agreement with regional partners if they was, if they were for the annexation of the territory that but i wanted to ask you this, this coalition government and the netanyahu people keep saying it's leading further and further and further to the right. if indeed that it is the is the case. what kind of future is, is awaiting palestinians. under this government, do you think both palestinians and these rallies everybody's rallies. jewish israelis had a very bleak future ahead of them. if they saw the worst of all these ready governments today, 175 years. you. this is really going to be implementing the campaign pledges platforms and coalition agreements. it will be very, very difficult to go on living under these railey system, and that will be resistance by many israelis,

locally resistance. but nevertheless many people here, millions will not equate. yes, i'm in the conduct of this government again. if you intend to translate to words into beads, i mean before i let you go, i just want to give you 11 last question. if i may kind of out of left field, i was reading it before that came out of telephone. just a couple of days ago that the israeli ministry of intelligence issued a report saying that the world is changing. and israel nice to kind of adjust its g or strategic priorities in the world by maintaining a good relationship with america. it said that israel nice to increase its relationship with both russia and china and that the dynamics of the world are changing. i addressed this question to a guest 24 hours ago who said, always just self interest on israel's pod. how do you read into it? a mere well diminished roofing tell me just so is not important in the.
