[000:00:00;00] with ah, we have no other choice but to protect our citizens. it wasn't us to stage a coup and ukraine. they started it. but they may have pretend that blames the ukraine conflicts on a long running western policy aimed at dividing russia out that moscow as opponents are still refusing to talk peace with aging, says it's relations with moscow are unshakable. that's not their rushes. deputy national security chief is hosted by the chinese president latest linked twitter files reveal us intelligence agencies pushed the platform to sense

a post containing any non mainstream narratives on ukraine. also this, our 70 is after the mom, our rebellion, the kenyans are holding on the london to finally compensate african locals for the crimes committed by the british colonial military part 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 is sunday and that means is the weekly here on our team, the national line. peter scott, and here are some of the top stories from the week just gone. welcome to the program. we start this hour with vladimir putin who says that the west left moscow know of the choice, but to defend his country's interest on his people. he also added the russia always showed a will to negotiate with all such attempts have been blocked by moscow's opponents . well,

it's cross line not mean of course over to discuss this further and reinstall me now in the studio room. one of the key takeaways from this interview with the russian presidents of lottery putin reiterates at once again that russia has always salts negotiations that has always salts a peaceful solution from missouri early as 2014, but again, to no avail. and he reminded us once again who started this whole mess and who is behind it, most importantly the colleen that when we had to stand up for the people that live in these territories, we had to support the choice of crime ins. it wasn't not to stage a coup in ukraine, they started it. basically, this is all the policy of our opponents aimed at dividing russia. our goal is to unite the russian people. and the focus is, and always has been defending the rights of the russian speaking community in ukraine and those who asked russia for help. and also of course protecting rushes

national interest. those were the key points from this little shorts interview that we heard. and this is something that we've heard from latimer approved in time and time again. but it seems that the west are either unwilling to hear what you say, or they're unwilling to acknowledge that period. i believe that we are doing things right with this. we protect our national interests, the interest of our citizens, our people. we have no other choice but to protect our citizens. we are ready to negotiate acceptable solutions with all participants in this process. but this is their business. we're not refusing to negotiate. so once again, we can hear that russia is willing and is ready to negotiate, but ukraine seems to be on the willing. and also, it's not only not been encouraged by it's western allies. there, there is no conversation of p socked. some are even discouraging ukraine from trying to negotiate with russia most certainly hoping that both sides can go to the negotiating table sooner rather than late submarine. thanks very much for breaking

down the recent interview with bruton and you. well meanwhile, earlier this week, president putin warned the you of the consequences of unilaterally setting a policy on russian energy. and the moscow has no puns to stick to the western imposed price cup. then it'll set its own prices in england, in general. you know, sometimes our colleagues and partners surprise me with their unprofessional decisions. 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, said that the gas market does not work this way. it will lead to serious consequences to a surgeon prices. it's happening right now. now they don't know how to get out of here and are trying to regulate gas prices as well. so people are rushes accused, the u. s. and the u. of attempting to manipulate the international energy market. and this comes after the you impose the price cap on russian energy in an attempt

to undermine moscow's ability to finance the conflicts in ukraine. now, new russian legislation frees up the states major gas exporters form fulfilling foreign contracts. if they violate national guidelines, the details of moscow's revised policy will be finalized by the end of next week. of this year brushes g, d p declined less than predict said in spite of increased western sanctions. earlier we heard from independent journalist mcgreevy, he says that the ease economy is the one feeling, the bronze from those sanctions on russia. does. so we were told by the germans, by the french, by our leaders in the west and our sanctions were necessary to branca, russia to we sneezed, but we are all armies. energy wise, it is the situation mist. annabelle, we have mine a stand last week for us. it's a terrible winter, i mean he rushes minus than his wine frequent. but here people start to realize that we had a huge problem of energy. no fuel, no gas, no, no, no,

no solutions for oil within months in 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. we can't get energy, this is terrible and they don't have an answer here. also, our economy encounters and rushes seems to do well. the statements on sunday, china's foreign minister said that the bilateral relationship between moscow and beijing remains unshakable. thirties, aperture, among, with a cap put into the china, russia relationship which is based on non alliance, non confrontation, and non targeting of any 3rd party remains. rock solid, such relationship is free from interference or any attempt to so discord between the 2 countries in is immune from change in the international environment. russia

and china are set to deepen bilateral ties. a moved towards a more multi polar world where the sentiment came early this week during a visit of russia's deputy head of security to meet you mad yet, if to beijing, where he met with president, she's in ping, cdn correspondence. sony has the details. according to a chinese reed out after that meeting between general secretary after cbc central committee and president shooting and the chairman of russia, united united russia party demetri. many of the 2 had covered quite some ground in the range of topics. china would provide more opportunities for what peace and prosperity and on relations of the 2 parties. she had said that the long institutionalized context between the 2 parties have become a unique channel and platform for a consolidating mutual political trust between china and russia. and she said he hoped 2 parties will continue in depth exchanges on governing experiences, development strategies,

and international and multi national corporations. and on the china, russia relations. she had said that in the past 10 years, china, russia relations have was due to changes in the world and have always developed in a healthy and stable manner. she said that china, russia comprehensive, strategic partnership of coordination were a new era, is a long term strategic choice made by both sides based on their own respective conditions. and he said that china is, were willing to work with russia to deepen relations, enjoying the promot global governance in the more just and reasonable directions and on the crisis in ukraine. she had said, as always, that china continue to hold an objective and fair sense. and promote peace talks, he hopes sac relevant parties could be reasonable, restrained, and have comprehensive dialogues and resolve security issues. through piece talks. will nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. you says that

russian chinese relations can be explained by the fact that both states show a similar vision of multiple the world. or i think the year of the target audience is, of course, not only the 2 countries, people of russia and china, but also to the rest of the world, naturally shows china's resolve to seek for a better understanding with the rest of the world, which this announcement that china believes in peace. china believes that the relation was russia really reflects the core interest, respecting of the core interest of the respective countries. so this is something that i think a lot of friends in other parts of the world need to understand that when it comes

to relations between china and russia or our 2 countries do have a lot in common, not only in economic or you know, dependence interdependencies but also are about our view towards the future of a multi polar world. i stickin with china, the country is expressed anger over washington's authorization of up to $10000000000.00 in miniature support for tie one without mincing words. it said the u. s. is a direct threat to the international order me while the chinese navy conducted patrols on life, i admit exercises near ty, one according to the chinese miniature command. facts have repeatedly proven that the united states is a direct threat to the international order and the driving force behind regional turmoil. the united states stubbornly pursues its own interests 1st and the willfully wages worse and quits conflicts with other countries for its own self interest,

causing the large number of innocent civilian casualties and displacement. the resolution of the taiwan issue is the chinese people's business, and china's eternal affair, which does not allow any external interference and the u. s. has no right to make a responsible remarks. according to the latest u. s. defense acts up to $10000000000.00 will be provided over the next 5 years to modernized, tie one security capabilities. so one's defense, ministry says that the decision shows that washington is committed to taiwan, as well as the island security. yes, arm sales to the country have continued to grow, and this is despite the issue straining beijing relations with washington. well again, we spoke to nelson long who's the vice chairman of shanghai center for international studies. and he says that the u. s. uses tie one as a tool in it's multi level strategy with type china. when i think it's quite apparent that the taiwan strait is not at peace at the moment turned the

main reason we all know that it's because the u. s. is making use of this tie one issue and trying to to, to play this card so hard as to, to irritate china. but on the other hand, the government has repeatedly said that they respect the one china policy that they do not seek taiwan independence. they won't assist taiwan independence, but what they do, what they say they don't actually match. so of course the chinese government is quite happy about this. and we've already seen spokes person from china's defense ministry making of our position. very fun. so let's see. let's see. but i hope during the meeting of u. s. a secretary of state to blink,

and when he visits china matters like this will be discussed. ok. i know the news the made the headlines this week. the 9th botch of newly released twitter files reveals that us intelligence services aggressively push the bluebird to sensor any unseat ukrainian narratives, claiming that there parts of a so called russian propaganda campaign, the f b. i know the security agency suggested that the counts that compared ukrainian government through the nazis of world war 2 were created in russian full thommes. they also allege that any of the 280 cards of scripts that said that ukraine is home to multiple violence. neo nazi battalions are simply false and it should be banned from the platform altogether. the fall show that washington's collective narrative with kiff could not be cast into doubts. and that's an implication put forward that russia was provoked and the conflict was to bu investigate. so he's been given access to those files have questioned the story line that's been put forth 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 by us, 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? well, according to the expos a, the u. s labeled uses us pro russian trolls simply for sharing verified footage and fives. showing this footage of neo nazis carrying 3rd, right and other fascist symbols. both accusations of spreading misinformation. that's with the investigator with access to the lead files summed up the platforms exactly. executives were under pressure to look for shreds of for meddling, but came up with nothing. born meddling had been the ostensible justification for expanded moderation. since platforms like twitter were dragged to the hill by the senate in 2017. the twitter files show execs under constant pressure to validate

theories of foreign influence and unable to find evidence for key assertions, found no links to russia, says one analyst, but suggests he could brainstorm to find a stronger connection. or the leaks go on to further shed lights on us intelligence agencies showing screenshots of messages where agents allegedly told twitter stuff to bunch specific pro republican accounts, as well as to express stories. suppress, excuse me, stories like the hunter bite and laptop scandal format. new york university profess unauthorized michael rates and walt coles this censorship. this is a violation of the 1st amendment of the united states, which does not permit the government to dictate expression to dictate speech. and we're seeing with a plethora of data that shows, in 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 an organ of the democratic party, the f, b i, that is, we're starting to wonder whether the f b, i in fact has some call culpability, with reference to covering up election crimes on the part of the democratic party. it's 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 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 politicize ation here. they 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. moving on now,

the fights of mile mile war veterans. you stood up against british colonialism in kenya. buck in the 1950s this fall from over even today. 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 deliver to the point of view, we are calling on the current government's uncanny or to ensure they keep on press and the british government so that the ma ma, that's runs and their siblings can receive compensation well, in advance, the british governments agreed in 1959 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 would ordinal wide stake in too long for the agreement to be implemented. we are requesting to be paid the full amount from the world bank 3 trillion dollars than as if it is the canyon people rose up against british colonial rule. and in response, the british army confined some one and

a half 1000000 kenyans to detention camps on launch military operations, torturing and killing thousands of suspects at mal supporters, it has to be said here that the mama militants themselves were also guilty of war crimes at the time, but it was later revealed that the british officials tried to cover up their own crimes with mamma out of it's still trying to seek justice to this day. somebody might not get out the some that has been kept by the world bank for a mile mile should do 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 the hands of the british in can yeah, yeah, yeah, but 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. some of the remaining veterans couldn't

even walk to the meeting. they are very old and seek some i've lost a memory as a result of the torture on the when during the colonial period. so our president should feel for the veterans and pressure. you can government ukrainian presidential adviser has cold for the targeting of iranian weapons. factories over the countries allegedly supplies to russia. iran plan introduce me, saw drawn supplies for russia. bloodedly accumulates the addition of international sanctions. important, abandoned none, walk in sanctions, invalid un resolutions, concept. and move to more destructive tools, liquidation of plans, arrest of supplies and iran denied all the allegations with moscow saying that the ukrainian side hasn't presented any evidence that it's military's been using radiant supplied weapons to run did i met supply jones to russia with underlying this was before the war, and ukraine here says the oldest isn't true and that is recovered. iranian drones made

a post february 24. iran also denies something and missiles to russia. professor of the university of toronto said to mohammed mirandi is the key of is seeking to broaden the conflicts it says a lot about the regime in. yeah. that not only do they want to create some sort of world war 3 like environment in europe, but they want to the regime once they 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 country you export to saudi arabia and to this railey regime, the russians and iranians have every right to export their weapons to one another

for the regime and to call for a military operations against iran. very dangerous. of course, i don't believe any one is going to listen to his demands. 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 come countries in the region that host american bases. and while key f is pushing for a military response over legit iranian arms supplies to russia. washington's approved almost $2000000000.00 of additional military ukraine, which does include a us patriot missile battery. this amount, this announcement was made following present zalinski. the recent visit to the u. s . ukrainian presidents visits was his 1st trip abroad since the start of the war addressed to congress. he expressed gratitude to the us for weapons. george

provided on he asked for more. u. s. has been said, it will supply a patriot missile system to give, to criticize the visits on weapons, requesting that the lensky was more interested in securing arms than piece labor rights load and off a done kabbalists. as the u. s. has profits greatly from its supplies on weapons to ukraine, to 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. us criminal institution. i'm forgetting which one, but that they are now sounding the alarm bells that they expect these weapons end up in the hands of criminal elements by the ministration has no interest in handling. and how do we know this? we know this because the democrats voted down in a house committee of a republican proposed to audit the weapons that have already been sent to you. so

we know that the us has no interest in being held accountable on any of this or fox news on tucker carlson question. why washington should keep supplying here with tens of billions of dollars in financing and weapons between the historic debt to ukraine. do the historic animosity with non soviet russia? no, no. how do we win here? what's in it for us? isn't this our country? and what are you going to have talking to us like that we hate ourselves so much. we have so little respect for the united states of america that will put up with that that will applaud it. thank you sir. may i have another? what's wrong with us? what's wrong with our leaders? while you are slow, make us approve, sending more money weapons to ukraine, not all with us, enthusiastic, outspoken republican marjorie taylor green, criticized zalinski, his visits as absurd, labeled him a shadow president of the u. s. uncalled ukraine. america's 51st states will media unless line or says it's on 1st, make american citizens pay for the government's decision to keep taxi of taxpayer

funds pouring into ukraine. we're looking right now in the united states at a $1.00. think about this trillion dollar omnibus bill. american citizens are say, 1.7 truck trillion for what we're wondering, where are we going to pay for our operation? what it, what is our goal? are you suggesting? does this intimate, that we are involved in a war that we are a participant in this, that, that we are a cold 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, the cessation 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 where we say enough. well, meanwhile, marx blumenthal who's the editor of investigative new site. the grey zone posted on exchange that he had with delegates representing the ukranian 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? no more than as of the value. there's no more as a values where we're 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 synonymy. 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 undemocratic. why did he band the russian wing of the orthodox church, russian such a large extra 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 and 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 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 6, 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 going to send a lot more. do you want to send more? oh absolutely, amazon all in all you're all in well that's all from me now. boats, murat, her mommy will be here to take you through on into the evening. and what have you doing this weekend? i hope you have a good one on those of you celebrating today. a very merry christmas. thanks with

. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist those 3. how that strategy will be successful? very political time. time to sit down and talk ah ah oh oh oh oh, i know.

ah ah ah ah journalists go to war, said there will be no war. i don't know a single journalist who loves war. alexei, somebody out of russian journalist walker respondent

with when you got emotionally or be some was no said look, it was good for you when you moved with

with
