r t. the nest republic lottie crew members came on to find the suburbs of danielle city on friday. they weren't injured, but several people in the area were wounded. we take a closer look at the challenges faced by those who report from the front lines and documentary hesitancy. ah, it was up with what ship with her mother. is it close guys with him? this thing is for us to warn you this is really helpful to you

with, with in the list. and that you could see it coming up and at least 22 people have lost their lives in a nursing home fire in the central russian city of cameron. that's according to the countries investigative committee. so the victims were taken to hospital and are reported to be in a critical condition. the fire party broke out at around 3 30 am local time and

emergency services have since put out the flames. preliminary findings suggest the blaze may have in caused by a fall faulty boiler. the russian investigative committee has begun a criminal investigation. local journalist reports from the scene behind me, a building burned the ground, the roof, the scattered everywhere, the main building. the fire has already been extinguished. according to the ministry of emergency situation with an area of a 180 square meters, preliminary data from the prosecutor's office, the operation of the device, the government of the region, the inspection will be carried out in such a institution a future. and to france now, where classes broke out in paris on friday after shooting near kurdish cultural center, left, 3 people dead and 3 wounded. ah

police. you take us to disperse the crowds as hundreds of members of the local kurdish community gathered near the sites. the french in syria ministers arrival of the scene only appeared to fund the flames with demonstrated joy objects with offices, lighting fires undamaged near by vehicles. we heard from a local reporter. i can only call them the security forces have arrived. they are right behind me. yeah, the security forces are everywhere. the police or every street. it's very dangerous here the projectiles are fine. all round. that police have thrown the stone grenade near me, but doesn't purpose is becoming a very dangerous here. article about 69 year old suspects has been detained. in connection with the shooting and prosecutors say he had

a police record on previous convictions for assault, as well as possession of an illegal weapon or votes him are reported to be members of the kurdish diaspora. and authorities are investigating the attack was racially motivated. a witness shared with us what feasel i saw a person in his sixties shooting at 3 locations since was the kurdish cultural center, a hairdresser, and a restaurant eagle. he was moving forward and didn't say anything, didn't move when he shot he didn't, or 3 bystanders eventually managed to tackle him to the ground. and 20 minutes later, the police arrival in all the news, germany doesn't want people who don't know it's culture. well, that's according to a controversial speech by a german politician who claimed that how the migrants under phantoms, because in gymnasiums was bleeding, local schools dry. dylan is a, stella, i want to intentionally say loud and clear even before christmas that it is not our intention to bleed schools,

a recreational sports for this 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, of whom i say on behalf of the party leader, the party executive in the christian democrats in germany. we emphatically distance ourselves from the choice of words of the bouts in district administrator. as a union, we have a very clear, unambiguous and deeply humane stance, which is supported by the dignity of every human being which must also be untouchable in language. such language and politics is not worthy of a christian democrat. i can only be ashamed and apologize for that. not only in view of the christmas message or the number of asylum seekers in the country has jumped by a 3rd compared to just last year. several cities have started putting up tense. anson convention centers into temporary accommodation. as, as most places hosting migrants have become overcrowded. one region has even been forced to host refugees in a former airport. me while over the netherlands,

the courts has exposed the double standards in the countries at refugees system as it rules that accommodation for non ukrainian refugees are inadequate. and they must be given the same rights as ukrainian migrants is comes after. the dutch refugee agencies sued the faith than the migrant centers do not meet international standards. a danish pakistani author and consultants on minority writes says that the use of selective treatments of refugees comes down to religious and racial prejudices. ukrainians are 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 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 saying. ukrainian, if you use come from all type of social classes and even if some do come from such a middle class, there are many other groups like judy and for example, they're all educated. they came from your 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 or shar, whichever country and you should give protection and you should not be disconnected because you are from middle class who are background hunger and diseases are a threat to an entire generation of africans. well, that is the stock warning from the w h o foundation with the hold of africa in the spotlight, not kenya, if you're in somalia, as they suffer from an ongoing drug few and he's also on the alarm. we urge the

international community to commit to responding now for what might hit the horn of africa next year. and in the years to come, we must act now to save children's lives, preserved their dignity and protect their futures. let me, since you and report shows that 24000000 people now face water shortages because of a drought in the region with a number of children suffering from hunger thurston disease doubling. and just 5 month, 2000000 people have been forced to leave their homes due to the most severe drugs in more than 2 generations. but it seems that the global resources to help africa may not be enough as western countries. so a shift in the 8 priorities. in 2022 european governments contribute to just 21 percent of all humanitarian aid to african countries. down to 16 percent, a source percentage points since 2018 now says the un warns of a huge gap between the amounts needed by african nations and others donated,

for example, the democratic republic of congo. your minds to collect around a 3rd of what's needed on for c o. p, just half of the money needed has been received. we spoke with a client of yours, from uganda, who says that the africans, climate change issues are being caused by the global north. the options for the global notion over its tree and the action and polluting polluting industry for the prices because they the heaviest and they want to be moved to the crisis. africa needed competition because africa is the most affected coordinate in the world when it comes to climate crisis and even the decisions made by and that's, it really is issue. and i think the african country in so much so africa must be a composite, especially by the global knows by providing the news. and i made you find which day

for me. are people a suffering pupil and we have our mother then to the us. good. like tumor storms across the landscape of our point in it because it is that those are the splitting us every bit people moving group for survival and the gunfire was so the global news is heavily to blame for closing that climate crisis failed to stop. and now to chile, where authorities have declared a state of emergency due to a large fire through death being confirmed, but the total number of fatalities has yet to be determined. a state of emergency has been announced in shirley as a result of a fire in the tories town of del mar, hundreds of homes, hard, repulsively, burned down while emergency services evacuated, federal neighborhood. local officials to the place started in a wooded area close to the city will keep you updated on that. on over to israel now where designated it prime minister benjamin netanyahu has confirmed

a new coalition, creating one of the most anti arab governments in the country's history nicole's in the deal. hence the station of areas it's occupies in the west bank could be 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 is already there with people like mr. moultrie, for example, they had always rose far. right? religious design isn't. policy 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 israel's hold on areas see of the occupied west bank, the biggest re 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 with 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 what's 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 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 new the yahoo steps 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 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 isn't. yeah. who's plans will it please? this is what it's a tober report concluded the commission finds that there are 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, even the nearest community seems to be worrying hundreds of robbers in the us. for example, a now pledging to block the members of the coalition design is party from sticking at. they are synagogues and inside israel. many politicians have also expressed concerns and fears that nathan, yeah, was new government the most far right in the country's history will buried along the way to to said solution to these rally policies in conflict. nathan, 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. horowitz, newspaper commentator undefended on the list. i mean, oren says that there's still a chance for the coalition will not be formed is about to swear in government. he's not yet successful and diarrhea feel

a slight chance that the government will not before. and you know, he's desperate to go back to power as prime minister because of his legal trouble. once he's straight from his position, he's actually defenseless. this is why he's willing to pay any price at all to his partner and pop up the price is the rhetorical concern regarding annexation. 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 bully, fusion is right now saying 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 because he is unable to, it will be very, very difficult to go on living under these really system. and there will be resistance go to investments. well, that's how hillary clinton views ukraine, according to a statement she made full and present zalinski is addressed to the us congress. no one is asking for a blank check. i believe that that the ukrainians have proven that they are a really good investment for the united states. they are not asking us to be there to fight their ward. they're fighting it themselves. they're asking us and our allies for the means to not only defend themselves, but to actually win since the start of the war, the biden administration has directed nearly $50000000000.00 in aid to ukraine. the

majority going towards weapon systems training and intelligence of the vast amount of aid, especially when compared to other u. s. recipients recipients, washington gave often has done 10 times less than annual funding enough, despite a 20 year military involvement in the country. the day after the landscape, congressional address, the us senate approved an additional $45000000000.00 in a to key if the decision was made despite recent polls suggesting that the average american doesn't consider ukraine to be a top priority. inflation, elections and crime also been of much more concern, but the vital ministration shows no sign of relenting and support of ukraine journalist and also daniel lazar believes the u. s. is using ukraine to achieve its own foreign policy goals. hillary clinton is very happy to have others do. america's dirty work board doesn't matter. it doesn't matter to her how many ukrainians die,

how many ukrainian cities are devastated. as long as the u. s. gets what it wants, and that is essentially a heavily militarize, the nato. why? the ukraine and a russia that is surrounded and militarily weakened and eventually leading to regime change in moscow. that's what america wants and, and it thinks that by, by finding a proxy war in the ukraine, that's what it will yet other allies will pay a price as well. i mean, germany is seeing it, industry gutted. europe is, is relaying economically and politically. so they will pay enormous price to, but the only thing that the washington cares about is america's own fortune, reflecting more on the hefty price of american foreign policy returns these,

the host of ortiz going on the ground, spoke with the former u. s. navy captain james funnel, who thinks that china represents new threats for peace. so do stay tuned to watch the full interview on our program throughout the day. but here's a clip of what's in it. didn't think china have also been encouraged by recent that was that the united states has been involved in, in the sense that, okay, the united states serve theoretically believes that taiwan is part of china. but china is also viewing what has been happening over the past 20 is the u. s. defeat in afghanistan. notably, and of course, the nato was in syria, have gotten them iraq libya and realized that they better get a move on because the united states is expanding its reach 400 military bases around china. and that so that's what's concerning them, not to the semi mystical idea of an anniversary, numer logically and the importance of reuniting china. neurology is not a meth,

it's something that they clearly state over and over again that they're going to have a grand ceremony on october 2049 to celebrate the rejuvenation, the great rejuvenation. and they used to use the word restoration as well. and that means are going to have to restore what they believe is our territory. believe that they have been on a strategy to use what they call comprehensive national power, which is using soft power to hard power to achieve their strategic n state. i would push back and say that they actually have used their military to cause, you know, on settlement and disruption to the peace and stability of the, of the asia pacific region. you know, i was like, like you noted to begin, i spent almost 30 years in u. s. navy. and when i 1st started going to see an asian pacific, it was relatively calm place. and we didn't have nations that were worried about conflict with china. we didn't have a nation like japan saying, we're going to blow away 70 years of history and we're going to start preparing

ourselves because china is getting ready to use military force to attack, not just i want, but as us as well. and so china has been a force for disruption, and it use military forces to threaten and cajole people. it wasn't that years ago we had the president to plow on, and he was quite aware of the allegations of the united states was involved in the assassination of his predecessor, people in the philippines. quite aware of a u. s. involvement at destabilizing opposition, groups in the philippines. was it really that peaceful in the indoor pacifica during that time, with a lot of covert operations to prevent any kind of well, so the critics of u. s. foreign policy would have it. democratic ability to have sovereignty on these islands, away from united states control. ah. sits your panel to dates? we all the latest from around the world. do feel free to check out all t dot com for more stories and analysis on peter scott's. i'll be back again with

more news at the top of the hour. thanks for watching. mm. ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time you sit down and talk ah, [000:00:00;00] with

i'm african return. see, and we're going underground at the end of a year. that's what rush, we're in nato on the brink of all out war. but who is the number one enemy of the world's most powerful nation of united states? despite this, he has nature, proxy war and russia through ukraine. u. s. intelligence still regards communist china as its biggest military and economic threat. many eyes now turning to the indo pacific and china holding the top spot for the world's largest navy. while the u. s. played catch up, should the focus turn away from the fighting on the ground in the skies of ukraine, and on to the real battle of the 21st century. well, who better to unpack all of this and captain jim fidel former director intelligence and information operations for the u. s. specific fleet in a 30 a career in u. s. naval intelligence. he's been the top intelligence official for the u. s. 7 fleet in the us as kitty hawk aircraft carrier strike group to point to japan. he's fellow at the geneva center for security policy in switzerland from where he joins me. thank you so much captain for coming on the show. i wanted to talk about the u

. s postal service in the pacific islands and how that at may may be important when it comes to what's happening, the south china sea. but of course, everyone is there while everyone in the global south, perhaps not in a donation, media is turning to what's been happening in the west pacific. what do you make all of the people's liberation army navy, as an aircraft carrier, the leon ng going into the west pacific? obviously, the china, people who support china was saying this is a response to jake sullivan. celebrating japan has taken a bold and historic step to strengthen and defend the free and open endo pacific. after japan appeared to overthrow it. sorry, no 1st use of weapons policy. well, 1st of all, action, appreciate the invitation to speak to you on the show. and i tend to look at things what through what i call the strategic trend line. so chinese, a carrier strike groups and surface action groups warships have been trans, announced through the 1st island chain since 2007 is when they really started to,

to go out into the philippines. she but what we see here over the last week, a week ago, as of up to 11 worships plus some on non number appeal, a navy nuclear submarines all deployed through the market straight, which is the main street south of now. and through the assume he straight, and it's an unprecedented deployment because you have 3 of the type of 5 run high class cruisers which are over 10000 tons closer 212000 tons and have 112 vertical launch system tubes that can launch land attack cruise missiles and i should cruise missiles and surface to air missiles and extremely long ranges. and these are all deployed out inside the philippine c now operating. and this occurred before the japanese announced a new national defense strategy, national security strategy, or even in the last day or to announce that they're probably going to up the size

of their budget. so i think what we're seeing is just the long march of what i call the strategic trend line of the appeal, a maritime expansion campaign. and just to be clear, it is the largest navy. china has the largest navy. some people may not realize that it, do you think that if you were in bay jing a advising change in being and be a central committee of the communist party, you would be saying we've got to show some sort of deterrent. we had pillow sea going there in the military aircraft to tie one. we have japan heralding a seeming budget. that is number 3 in the world after a china in the united states. we've got to show some force now. yeah, i would re characterize it does not as a deterrence, but as a power projection capability and the p o a has been building up for 20 plus years to have the capacity to be able to take time one with military force. and we know
