another per trail. that's how human rights activists brown, the u. s. spending bill apparently neglect tens of thousands of afghan refugees who fled to america in the wake of its withdrawal in 2021. in the program we hear from a former afghan governor, i think in the united states is the trade african, the civil times over. you know, it's not the 1st time ah, right, your news, unfiltered from moscow, jumping straight you headlines right now. it's all t international. let's give you an update now from fraud swear clusters broke out in paris off for a shooting near a cottage cultural center. earlier today, left 3 people dead and 3 others wounded. a police use tig asked to dispose the crowd says a members of the local, the code is community gathered near the side. a 69 year old suspects has been detained for the shooting. a prosecutor say the elijah god meant had

2:03 pm
have the u. s. secretary of state respond to criticism of last year with the droll from afghanistan saying get us help to free up resources for a cult. 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 been able to give. and that others
2:04 pm
have been able to get few 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 on august 31st, 2021. and then the very next day on september 1st, america said that the or do we were joining an effort we were locking on to the e, you to joint effort to help you crane join nato. after all,
2:05 pm
washington spent over $2.00 trillion dollars on this over 20 year long military operation that it had an afghanistan. and if u. s. 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 washington 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. the key of has for western weapons, it was introduced in january over
2:06 pm
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. the 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 today. i did the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best on 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,
2:07 pm
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, but also on this topic of the u. s. 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. well, on friday the us low house will vote on a government funding bill, which are us based human rights group as denounced as completely forgetting afghans
2:08 pm
. the so called afghan adjustment act is reportedly been dropped from the bill and it is spurring i go from various pro gun 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 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 with a former afghan governor, but earlier in the program, abdulla hey, what he says, well, it's just not the 1st time that people have gotten install have simply been forgotten. i think the united states has betrayed afghans 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 it was over against the tourist groups and we are moving out of afghanistan. and i was the governor serving an old province and renew
2:09 pm
. 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 that position against these terrorist organizations. then the 2nd time in may and the announced that by the 5th, by the month of august, you know, they would be leaving afghanistan. once again, you know, africans will be trade because africans, african government was not really, you know, to sustain itself. and as a result, we have seen that the collapse of the republic government and that's on top of one, another 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. would be a life in line with the us army. i mean, they would not be assisted with 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 afghans was still feeling the lives
2:10 pm
there in afghanistan, that they would not be assisted. you not be any any more. it's great to have your company. and i, for this program from moscow, quote, the reorientation of russia's energy resources was, are one of the major changes this year. that's according to deputy prime minister alexander, a novak, as he summed up how russia's rolling global markets changed in 2022. just an interest in the d. c. as a result of unfriendly actions, energy resources are being re orientated to other markets, to the market, to friendly companies. first of all, these are the asia pacific region, africa, and african culture. latin american countries also called harness, who introduced such economic restrictions against russia and considering them as economic, although in fact legal, 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,
2:11 pm
and we see many industries closing as a result of rising prices. a shortage of energy resources within russia is deputy prime minister added that next year could be even tougher for the e u, which will have to find a new way to coverage energy deficit without russian oil. a band on seaborne imports of a crude from russia was part of the latest sanctions package from brussels, while further restrictions on the import of oil products into the u kicks off in february. well, meantime, russia accuses the us and other western countries of attempting to artificially manipulate international markets. new legislation from moscow fries, the state gas, export a gas problem from fulfilling obligations under foreign contracts. if it violates national guidelines. the specifics of the price designation as they should be set in stone by the end of next week. the more sense to lessen that, if we believe that our energy resources are in demand,
2:12 pm
despite the balance supplies and embargo on shipments to the usa, canada, and the u. k. in europe. now resources are in demand because there was a need in the world. in this, russia was the largest supply of oil and petroleum products. we are ready to go for a reduction in terms of production. when we hang up, 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 renewal, which led germany's state secretary in charge of competition policy has cold on the european commission to launch a probe into twitters policies under the use new digital markets act say the tech giant poses a threat to free speech. well, the, they'll say without a contributor rachel master complaint to the european union's executive leadership about press. censorship is kind of like walking into mcdonalds and whining about obesity, but that's what german economy ministry, secretary of state fed jiggled of the green party just did. he wrote to the
2:13 pm
european commission, demanding that the e u. tackle censorship on the american social media platform. twitter because he doesn't like how it's new owner. ellen musk is running it. changing general terms and conditions, almost every hour, erotic justifications for extensive restrictions on links on the blocking of journalists accounts not only threaten freedom of competition, but also pose a risk to democracy. freedom of opinion, information and the press. the you should use all the possibilities at its disposal to protect competition. i'm freedom of speech on digital platforms. you kind of have to wonder how long rip van jiggled here has been asleep or what rocky's been hiding under. we're talking about the same european commission that keeps arbitrarily sanctioning journalism, appearing on any and all russian platforms. the end result is that citizens living inside this supposedly free and democratic europe, smack up against the eas information, iron curtain, whenever they want to see news. an analysis on these platforms of the you doesn't
2:14 pm
like which people elsewhere in the world all the way from vietnam. to brazil have absolutely no problem accessing. jiggle, never spoke up about press censorship in the front of democracy there, but now he's demanding action against mosque and twitter and he's not the only one either. you commissioned vice president for values and transparency. yeah, that's an actual title. veered to rover. tweeted recently, quote, news about arbitrary suspension of journalists on twitter is worrying. and she said there, there are quote red lines and sanctions soon. so she's threatened must, with sanctions for the kind of press censorship that the e u practices itself. is it a surprise of these journalists band briefly on twitter by musk we're establishment journalists and not any one in particular known for ruffling establishment feathers . where are these european champions of press freedom? when must disclosed recently after taking over twitter the extent to which twitter knowingly greenlit accounts belonging to the pentagon. in order to run covert online influence campaigns to push washington's official narratives related to
2:15 pm
conflicts like those involving yemen, syria, iraq, and kuwait. or where were they, when it came to the western mainstream media attention that the most popular western social media outlets like twitter and facebook are chock full of former f, b, i and cia officials and were closely with the intelligence community on a regular basis. so how do we know that's the case? because after must fort over $44000000000.00 to buy twitter and got his hands on the company's internal documents, he started releasing them through select journalists on twitter, blowing the whistle on practices that predated his ownership. interesting that it's only now when mosque is revealing the truth about the kind of narrative gate keeping that went on involving western intelligence and western officials that these european leaders suddenly want the you to get must on a short leash. why isn't the german official jiggled asking the you to look into
2:16 pm
the new study just released by the university of maine's, concluding that the german language mainstream reporting on the ukraine conflict has been super biased. while ukraine of president lensky will mostly wrote to positively in the media, russia and president putin will almost exclusively write it negatively diplomatic negotiations were presented as meaningful and less than half of the cases. only spiegel rated diplomatic measures is more sensible than the delivery of heavy weapons. while for all other media, it was the other way around. you brain was portrayed positively and 64 percent of all the coverage and russia negatively and 88 percent of the german language media coverage. the study also found that a whopping 93 percent of german press reports attributed blame to russian president vladimir putin or to russia while just 4 percent of the news items attributed any responsibility to the west. ukrainian responsibility was evoked just 2 percent of the time and 74 percent of items promoted at western and german military support to
2:17 pm
ukraine. quote, extremely positively. but apparently, all that has escaped the radar of this esteemed german official and his european colleagues who were very concerned about press freedom suddenly, but seemingly only one. it affects the ellison journalists that they like and who don't pose much of a threat to the big establishment narrative. and you diesel electric russian submarine has been launched into the waters of some pitas bugs, never river launcher ceremony for the leaky lukea took place of the russian admiralty shipyard in saint petersburg. the new 4th generation submarine as a non nuclear vessel, its hull was actually 1st laid down back in 2015. you can see more pictures, more details at r, t dot com. ah, quote, germany doesn't want to people who don't know our culture. a speech by
2:18 pm
a german politician has led to outrage on disbelief after a claim that housing migrants and asylum seekers in gymnasiums was bleeding school and a recreational sports dry. lisa spelling, i want to intentionally say loud and clear even before christmas that it is not our intention to bleed schools or recreational sports for their asylum policy. and they also don't want to follow the where we are with people who come to us because we don't know our culture in multi family houses. and for that reason, i believe social freedoms are in danger. uploading the remarks by which the district administrator in the state of saxony did cause varying reactions in his conservative cd. you party, germany's strongest opposition, the regions c, d, u prime ministers that the comments have been taken out of context. but there was also criticism from within the number of asylum seekers in the country has jumped by a 3rd compared to last year. several cities have started putting up 10 centuries convention centers into temporary accommodations. and that's how regular plate is hosting
2:19 pm
migrants become over crowded, and one area had even been forced to host refugees in a former airport. meanwhile, in the netherlands, a court has exposed the well double standards in the countries refugees system as it rules that accommodation for non ukrainian refugees is inadequate. they must be given the same rights as ukrainian migrants. it comes off to the dutch refugee agency, sued the state, claiming migrant centers do not meet international standards. well, i was discussing that early with the bashi cor ratio. danish, pakistani author and consultant on minority writes, he says the selective treatment of refugees is down to religious and racial prejudices, ukrainians, and white and christian in denmark where i live and the rest of your country's ukrainians are considered as european. and as one of us. so people
2:20 pm
from outside europe, 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 with issues for the last 40 years and there are documentation reports which will tell you what i'm seeing. ukrainian a few g 's come from all type of social classes. and even if some do come from such middle class, there are many other groups, like gideon, for example, they're all educated. they came from a class, but they had to do differently. and the problem is that if you run for your life, it doesn't matter. you come from your grand, whichever country and you should give protection and you should not be disconnected because you're from middle class who are back go to israel,
2:21 pm
where designate a prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a for was a new coalition creating one of the most right wing governments in israel. history reported clause in the deal also sees westbank annexation as a top 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, is already there with people like mr. moultrie, for example, they had always rose far right. religious design isn't polity put in charge of the territories affairs in the new government. benjamin netanyahu was already planning to push for a stronger israeli control over parts of today and tomorrow we have biblical name 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 c of the occupied west bank. the biggest of 3 administrative divisions
2:22 pm
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's a 12 part why 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 death. 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
2:23 pm
2021. demonstrate the military law enforcement systems, complete disregard for palestinian lives. its conduct precludes any possibility of deterrence 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 stepped towards 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 a problem to just recently and alleged you. document was leg throwing the blocks intention to push for a complete re unification of all parts of those replied west bank on the palestinian authority, and neither will probably be un support benjamin isn't. yeah. who's when will it please? 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
2:24 pm
international law. owing to its permanence into actions undertaken by israel chantix parts of the land de facto and the jury, even the jury community seems to be worrying hundreds of robbers in the us for example. and our pledging to block the members of the coalition design is 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 a solution to these rally policies in conflict with yahoo now 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 ways. i was speaking to a bit out of the program to accommodate about horace newspaper, mr. amir r, and who's also a defense and government analyst. he says there's actually still a slight chance the new nathan,
2:25 pm
yahoo government will not be formed. happened this. 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, with saudi arabia, because now to appease the aims, is to get the peace agreement to 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 a messianic partners without whom there will be no government. and while your report stated that he is about to swear in his government, he's not yet successful. and diarrhea steal a slight chance that the government will not before
2:26 pm
a desperate to go back to power as prime minister because of his legal trouble. once he straight from his position, he's actually defenseless. this is why he's willing to pay any price at all to his partner. and part of the price is the rhetorical concern regarding an extension. it is virtually impossible for israel to enact any territory without breaching the 2 peace agreements with egypt and jordan. in addition to the other justified criticism which it will absorb, this is why as a politician these rights, now today's monday, yes, we will. and next, maybe even moscow will be a next, if this is what they demand. but the actuality he is not going to do it
2:27 pm
because he is unable to, it will be very, very difficult to go on living under these railey system. and there will be resistance by many israelis lawful use resistance. but nevertheless, many people here, millions will not equate. yes, i'm in the conduct of this government again. if i can dance to translate words into beads. why before we wrap up this program from moscow, the chinese foreign minister and u. s. secretary of state of disgust bilateral ties and a telephone call after which washington came in for some criticism. however, it must be pointed out that the u. s. can't engage in dialogue and containment of the same time. neither can talk corporation in front of china, but step in the back symbol tenuously. it's not a reasonable competition, but irrational oppression. it's not managing divides but intensifying conflicts.
2:28 pm
according to china's of ministry of foreign affairs, the, the officials just discuss, i should say, a wide range of topics among them. current relations are beijing expressing some concerns. despite the optimism that follow the g. 20 summit. earlier. what we did speak to henry while you're wearing a president of the center for china and globalization. he describes beijing is strain relationship with washington and says that well, ties should be improved. basically in the china, you need to start a new patch on the bilateral relations rather than just, you know, we still have, you know, those kind of a suppressing and containing coupling and bashing going on. yeah. was in the whole world is now much more intertwined. and, you know, we, we are, depending on each other, we have a global supply chain value chair, across the chart. and chinese, you know,
2:29 pm
probably understand all of these global supply chain. many, many issues these to be because the address will rather than keep it constantly on, on really bashing china because recently i think the year the u. s. is we lease another 30, you know, 2030 companies to be on the enter to lease. so fathers over a 1000 chinese company has been on us and to to least watch or least. i think this is not very healthy prostate cancer long. it's about wrapping up. it's our program from moscow. here on our t international from the rural reach to show you the entire news team here. thank you for sharing your time with us here in the russian capital you'll use will over time with
