with 70 years after the mouth rebellion canyons or calling on the british government to compensate vocals for the crimes committed by their military. with our parents greatly suffered and some died in the process of the brutal colonization in our country. the leadership we have now should emphasize the importance of compensation to the mouth with hello, good morning for mark, international studios in moscow, in from wherever you're tuning in. welcome to the weekly with the hour and weeks most vital stories worldwide. i'm carol is about moscow has responded to a western and post price cap for russian natural gas supplies, saying it will set its own values on its energy. earlier this week, president putin reminded the e u,

of the possible consequences of meddling and russia's energy policies. like them in general, you know, sometimes our colleagues and partner surprise me with their unprofessional decision . soon after all, at one time it was the european commission that imposed on us the transition to so called market pricing for gas. and we persuaded them, i personally did this, we persuaded them in brussels, not to do this. they said that the gas market does not work this way, they will, it will lead to serious consequences to a surgeon prices. this happened right now, and now they don't know how to get out of this position and are trying to regulate gas prices as well. really, russia accused the u. s. and e. u of attempting to manipulate the international energy market. then you russia legislation, freeze the state gas export or gas prom from fulfilling obligations under foreign contracts. if they violate national guidelines, the details of moscow's prices ignatius will be determined by the end of the week. president putin criticize the u. s,

saying washington has long been trying to destabilize post soviet states and is now exerting its influence over ukraine. ortiz rory, so shay and donald quarter disgust a russian leader. stark assessment with wishes covalent moves until we now say the u. s. as to rickly, involved in the conflict. the u. s. has been dealing with this for a long time. it's been involved and trying to undermine us and influence ukraine since soviet times. our opponents have always tried to divide us and then tried to manage the separate parts and nothing new here. the idea of ukrainian separatism was born a long time ago. while the russian president of course, spoke a lot about how the west was trying to stoke the flames of nationalism in ukraine long before the soviet union even collapsed. but the russian president also spoke a lot about the russian economy. of course, he said that it's fair to a lot better than many people in the west had predicted back in march in february of this year despite predictions that russian g d. p would fall by double digits.

it's only actually fallen by 2.5 percent. and on top of that, indicators connected to unemployment and inflation have been kept very low as well . took a sissy co limited. that's for the economy despite the predicted collapse, devastation and catastrophe. none of the kind has happened here. moreover, rushes indicators are much better than many g 20 countries. this applies to the main macroeconomic indicators like g d p. yes, there is a slight drop. i said earlier that the drop is 2.9 percent according to international experts, but now it's less 2.5 percent. one of the main indicators around the world is the unemployment rate for us, it is at a lower level than before the pandemic. our labor market is stable, our financial market is stable. i thought that one of the interesting things said, don joe, during this press conference was one of the, one of the questions from a member of the press. what was i? he asked, is russia running out of miss aisles in the conflict in ukraine, but also, ah,

certain western partners and ukraine who are fighting russia that are they running out of weapons as well? a, quite a lot was said about russia's defense industry, wasn't it? right? and it was also discussed alongside at one question that another journalist asked regarding the possibility of the us supplying the key a regime with patriot missile systems. this is something that a vladimir putin said, okay, let the west do that. because the patriot missile systems are already outdated, and it would take such a long amount of time for american troops or whoever to train ukrainian troops on how to use that. but in terms of the weapons stockpiles, like you were talking about before vladimir putin said, there is a huge difference between the ukrainian defense industry and the russian one. because while it keeps soviet, basically, mainly soviet and weapons stockpiles, they're actually already on the brink of running out while moscow has plans to actually increase its own stockpiles in the near future. we didn't know we were

suitable in january rush, we'll have a new frigate in combat service with new weapon systems. we're not being provocative, but this will strengthen our strategic forces. despite these being medium range systems, their speed characteristics give us an advantage. as for the patriot systems, they are old and do not work in the same way as our s 3 hundreds. but nevertheless, those who oppose us consider the patriots as defensive weapons. well, okay, we'll just keep that in mind. and there will always be an antidote. those who do this are only prolonging the conflict. our goal is not to prolong the military conflict, but on the contrary, to end this, we strive for this and we will continue to strive for this. now, that was another very important moment. we just heard, there putin emphasizing once again that russia wants to see an end to this war. this is something we've heard reiterated by russian officials for a long time. now they say that the west is to blame for this conflict being drawn out because it's given

a blank check when it comes to weapons and munitions to the key of regime. putin also said that this policy basically directed directly contradicts what the russian government wants for both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution this year. russia's g d p has declined, but only a fraction of what had been predicted due to increased western sanctions. we heard from independent journalists, luke were they who says the eaves economy has suffered more from its sanctions than russia. gus, we were told by the germans by the french bow leaders in the west and our sanctions were necessary to rank off a russia to we sneezed. but we are all armies. energy wise, it is the situation mist. annabelle, we have mine a stand mostly for us. it's a total winter, i mean he rushes sang minus than his wine frequent. but here people start to

realize that we had a huge problem of energy. no, no fuel, no gas, no, no one, no, no solutions for oil. oh, within months on been m long term solutions, not before years from now our economies in tatters everywhere. i mean factories closing the cost of life is increasing. we have for 10 percent, 12 percent inflation. oh, we can't get energy. this is terrible and they don't have an answer. oh, so our economy, thing touches and brushes, seems to do well. a ukrainian presidential adviser has called for the targeting of iranian weapons, factories over the country, the legit arm supplies to russia, which both moscow enter on have denied iran planned to boost massage on supplies for russia, blood, leaf, cumulative, destitution of international sanctions. important to abandon none the walk in sanctions invalid to you and resolutions concept and moved to more destructive

two's liquidation of plants. a rest of supplies. moscow says, care hasn't presented any evidence of its allegations that the russian military has been using iranian supplied weapons, turan did admit to supplying a small number of drones to russia. but stress, the shipment was delivered prior to the conflict in ukraine or on has strongly denied selling any missiles to russia. professor at the university of turan psi and mohammed mirandi says kevin, seeking to expand the war to other parts of the world. it says a lot about the regime in yet. that's not only do they want to create some sort of world war 3 like environment in europe, but they want to, the regime wants to expand the war to other parts of the world. the iranians have been importing weapons and technology and exporting weapons and their own

technological capabilities to russia for a long time now. and if western countries exports to saudi arabia and to this way, the regime was the russians. any ryans have every right to export their weapons to one another for the regime and kids to call for a military operations against iran is very dangerous. of course, i don't believe anyone is going to listen to his demand. there's nothing else that these western countries can do with regards to sanction. and a military option would mean a severe retaliation by iran against countries. oil rich and gas, which some countries in the region that host american and basis

the 8th batch of newly released twitter files reveals us intelligence services aggressively push twitter to sensor any anti ukrainian narratives. as part of a so called russian propaganda campaign. the f b i and other security agencies labeled suspected accounts as russian troll farms for multiple reasons, including comparing the current ukrainian government to nazis in world war 2. they also allegedly labeled as trolls account saying ukraine is home to multiple violet, neo nazi battalions showing as an example, a damaging tweet that condemns you. praying for glorifying the as off nationalists battalion other files show washington and cabs. narratives on the conflict can't be cast into doubt, and it's taboo to imply that russia was provoked, a twitter files investigator questions the narrative. we assess that the tragedy of done bus a website documenting purported human rights abuses committed by ukraine since 2014

is directed by the russian general staff. main intelligence directorate in tell about the shady origin of these accounts might be true. but so my at least some of the information in them about neo nazis rights abuses and done bus. even about our own government. should we block such material? this is a difficult speech dilemma. should the government be allowed to try to prevent americans and others from seeing anti ukrainian accounts? according to the report, the u. s. could label users as pro russian trolls simply for sharing verified footage and facts. in this video, you can see a neo nazi procession with portraits of an infamous nationalist, ukrainian figure responsible for the deaths of many polish and jewish civilians. twitter file investigator mats, ab questions, a government who blocks evidence of such atrocities. the 2 recent packs of twitter files reveal links between the social web and the u. s. intelligence showing

screenshots of messages where agents allegedly tell the former team to ban specific probe, republican accounts, or to sensors, stories like the hunter bite and laptop scandal. former new york university professor and author michael rectinwald's describes this as violations of free speech. this is a violation of the 1st amendment of the united states, which it does not permit the government to dictate expression to dictate speech. and we're seeing a plethora of data that shows and fact that they did that and a lot more. and one has to wonder whether they're actually meddling in elections themselves and whether they're, since they are basically and working on the democratic party, the f b i. that is, we're starting to wonder whether the f b. i in fact has some culpability with reference to covering up election

crimes on the part of the democratic party is utterly illegitimate. and it's known as economic fascism when you have this kind of collusion between the state and these corporate players. and you're saying that they're so tightly knitted together, that there's almost no extricating them. and it's as if we have a state run media here. this is very, very reminiscent of totalitarian regimes. there's politicization here, they'd say, said that they were looking at domestic violence extremis. and we know what this has to do with this is about utterly silencing the opposition to the democratic party. you can get more details on the latest, plus other 7 packs of twitter files on our website at archie dot com with revelations on the hunter biden laptop scandals, security agencies pushing for censorship of inconvenient accounts as well as

russian election meddling claims on our website. say to the fight of mal mal war veterans who stood up against british colonialism in kenya in the 1950s is far from over. this week they asked the canyon president to demand compensation from the u. k. government, which westminster has pledged several times, but has yet to fulfill a 5 you. we are calling on the current government's and kenny are to ensure they keep on press. and the british governments so that the mom, all that strengths and their siblings can receive compensation while in advance, the british governments agreed and $9059.00 to pay the compensation than pledge to do so again in 2003. and once more in 2007. so the concerned parties should sit down and come up with a conclusion for the veterans. we don't know why it's taken too long for the agreement to be implemented. we are requesting to be paid the full amount from the

world bank 3 trillion dollars. in the 1950s that canyon people rose up against british colonial rule. in response to british army can find some 1500000 kenyans to detention camps and launch military operations, torturing and killing thousands of suspected mouse supporters. it was later revealed that british officials try to cover up the crimes with ma, ma active is still trying to seek justice till this day. somebody might not get out . the som, that has been capping by the world bank for mo, mo, should be released immediately. some of us are certainly very all, as you can see, others have died and we're only surviving by the grace of the lord. honestly, really suffered at the hands of the british in kenya. it was for our parents greatly suffered and some died in the process of the brutal colonization in our country. the leadership we have now should emphasize the importance of compensation

to the mammal. some of the remitted veterans couldn't even walk to this meetin. they are very old and seek some of lost memory as a result of the torture underwent dirty colonial period. so our president should feel for the veterans and pressure you could government now to west africa were burkina, faso governmental forces have taken control over northwestern territories, previously held by insurgent groups. the gains are part of an anti jihadist operation aimed at securing the country's bon. what province a local reporter has more details. hello though 330 kilometers long way of looking at fossil out of government control for 3 months now is back to the country. both sides are waiting again on the title of public administration office. the military operation called the hell,

which been in local language to recover your belongings. village is the one for the sun creek more town creek yell and we got their freedom from public administration and busy with the bus to get to call me because yours on the gown, the army stuff g major. debbie talbert, a was in so late last weekend, too late. the good job of your boys, if victory. well, some bible can i be here in work. i do. it's successful operation in which around 4030 will kill and one for the army sites with an important quantity of logistics, of terrorists where the flight or sees buy the item before the good news of the thing. one thing is the key out. the other thing is to keep the area under

control of government tools. for this experiment, there is a lot to do to come to the goal. we want to, for me, it's clear that the army is moving forward with more power because this is the 1st time since 2015, that a territory is recovered and officially announced by our authorities. i think that morally, this is good for the people of burkina, faso wife and all that. i don't know as we can see, interim leader abraham trial ray is committed. he is giving his all to convince people who think this is not true, that it's their imagination. you can't force someone to believe in what he doesn't believe in. but those who are on the ground eye witnesses, they see what's happening. since 2015 burkina faso has suffered from scores of geo hottest attacks that have killed thousands and left around 2000000 people displaced according to the countries army. 39 terrorists linked to the islamic state and al qaeda have been killed in operations this month. our t sat down with martina foster's interim prime minister, who says that national security remains

a top priority and the country welcomes increased partnership with russia. because if, what are your priorities now? is it perhaps in the secure to sector? we some good? yes, definitely. currently, security is a priority and burkina faso and we talked about it, but in addition to the security sphere, we discussed other areas as well because the problem of security is complex with many parts. we hope that starting from now we will begin to resolve it apart from that, it's necessary that our relations develop because we're all interested in winning as close to sing. russia could become an ally for broken up. so in the fight against to help us. we for swims, were progress, and we would like it. we would like russia become our ally here, as well as all our partners. and we know that russia's a great power and a frushell wants to can help us in this area. rwanda is not to blame for the ongoing crisis in the democratic republic of congo. that's according to the country's government. mid rising accusations, it is providing support to insurgent groups in the conflicts accusing rolanda

of support to the congolese armed group. m 23 is wrong and distracts from the real cause of continued conflict in eastern d r. c. it is a mistake to conflate the measures that rwanda has put in place to guard its borders with support for any particular arm group in d r. c. this is to be expected if pod to offer one does script that they have consistently fed that they are not to be blamed for the m $23.00 rebels. and they dissociate themselves from them and deny any accusations of their finding. but of course, this was also further exacerbated by the fact that france has come out to openly accuse rwanda for what it says is one does roll with the ongoing tensions in north tivo. here is the french, faint secretary for foreign affairs. we are witnessing the return of a tragic situation in the east of the d. r. c. it is unbearable and unacceptable. there are responsibilities and france has no difficulty in pointing them out. m 23

must stop fighting, disengage, and return the occupied territories. rwanda, as it must be named, must stop supporting m $23.00. we must put an end to the repetition of history in this region. this comes on the back of, of rwanda's accusations towards france. thing that they had a hand in the main thing maintained for genocide, particularly i choosing the french troops with fish and in one day 1994 of participating in some of the human race atrocities than we saw during the genocide and facilitating a safe passage in a safe haven for some of the people who are responsible according to their one than government for if we're starting that genocide, the result in 1994. and on the return of that is that france is also accusing rwanda or openly for the 1st time. at least this follows the american accusation of

the theme thing that the to gully government is to be blamed for your support for the un sanctioned m. 23 levels, but the religions here are bound to get tiffy are as time goes. because right now this will not be helping as accusations and contacts, asians, she of flying and more european nations are more likely to be implicated in this regard. but france did inquire into the role laid by its troops in rwanda during the genocide, but they abandoned their dom. that inquiry, seeing that they found no evidence that its troops have participated in any human rights violations. ah, washington has approved $1850000000.00 of additional military to ukraine, which includes a u. s. patriot missile battery. this announcement was made following president the

landscape recent visit to the us. the landscape visit was his 1st trip abroad since the start of the conflict and in address to congress. he expressed gratitude to the u. s. for weapons already provided, but asked for more. the u. s. has been said, it will supply patriot missile system to russia. criticize a visit and weapons request things a lengthy was more interested in securing arms and peace. labor rights lawyer and author, dan college says the u. s. has profited greatly from it. supplies of heavy weaponry to ukraine. think that the u. s. is happy to give that money, whether the patriot missiles are used or not. it's also a matter of putting money in the coffers of the defense industry. criminal institution, i'm forgetting which one, but that they are now sounding the alarm bells that they expect these weapons and up to the hands of criminal elements by the administration has no interest in

handling and how to we notice we know this because the democrats voted down in a house committee, a republican proposal to audit the weapons that have already been sent to you. great. so we know that the u. s. has no interest in being held accountable on any of this. some western media have also question why the u. s. should keep up the heavy support of ukraine. fox news anchor tucker, carlson said keith has no right to demand. washington continues propping it up with tens of billions of dollars in financing. we the historic debt to ukraine, to the historic animosity with a non soviet russia. no, no. how do we win here? what's in it for us, isn't this our country, and where are you going off talking to us like that? we hate ourselves so much. to have so little respect for the united states of america. we'll 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? while us law makers approved sunday, more money and weapons to ukraine,

not all were so enthusiastic. republican marjorie taylor green, criticize the length, is visit as absurd. labeling him a shadow president of the u. s. and his country, the 51st state media analyst line all says it's unfair to make american citizens pay for the government's decision to keep taxpayer funds pouring into ukraine. we're looking right now in the united state at a 1.7. think about this trillion dollar omnibus bill. american citizens are say, 1.7, true trillion for what we're wondering, where are we going to pay for our operation? what it, what is our goal? are you suggesting or does this intimate, that we are involved in a war that we are a participant in this, that, that we, are we co combatant does? is that what this means?

because if it does mean that i don't think a lot of americans were particularly care for that, we never signed on to this. we're getting to the point right now where people don't really understand it. and frankly, maybe common sense may prevail. because the one issue that nobody is talking about is peace ending it. this is sation of hostility. that's it. it is somehow absent and void from the, from the rubric of conversation. maybe i hope we're getting to that point. we say enough. meanwhile, max blumenthal editor of the investigative new site, the grey zone posted in exchange, he had with delegates representing the ukrainian diaspora on their way to congress . is 45000000000. not enough. no, not enough yet. how much? how much more should we give to ukraine instead of our own people? do you, do you, do you support the as of italian?

or no more than as up. and there's no more as a values where, where train and recruited that into a former professional army over the last 8 years. so the neo nazis were brought into the army. no, no, no nazi phenomenal. so no answer about it and crane is a democracy. why did zelinski ban 13 opposition? partnership law? we've got the national marshall law sounds on democratic. why did he band the russian wing of the orthodox church? right. in such a large extent, to serving as the keys in his organization and with found with materials that were legal and financing the enemy war against innocent people. i oppose the assault on don. yes. do you the shelling of the people have done yet. do you oppose that? no, no. are you wired? wired civilians been killed and done yet. lugens, if you oppose that there was a small anti war protests on east capitol right at the front of the capitol. and as

i was standing there, i ukrainian diaspora delegations just rolled up, started taking pictures, and i began questioning them. and you saw the exchange right there. i think it was very revealing. and these are actually significant figures. i'm not only in the diaspora but within the ukrainian government itself. i didn't know they were coming . i didn't know who was coming. i just showed up in the capital was actually hoping to be the one reporter who actually asked critical questions of our representatives here in the u. s. on why they were going to authorize another $45000000000.00 to continue this dangerous proxy war throughout 2023. and what i found was a completely locked down capital. it looked like the days after january 6th, except the fences were lower. there were no members of congress, although i did catch a last sen. joe mansion who basically refused to speak to me. senator, do you know how much we, how many billions we've sent to ukraine? we're gonna send a lot more. do you want to send more? oh yeah, absolutely i'm, i'm all in,

i'm all you're all in and those were the hour and weeks top news stories worldwide for more 247 coverage. head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow up on odyssey rumble and gab. thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back next hour. ah with mm.
