ah ah ah, is there a conspiracy theory better that didn't turn out to be true? you so far? they're both sort out to be truth. you on my smocks. twitter is passed dark side while breaking the internet with new revelations, revealing how us buys push twitter to sensor anything negative about you praying as russian disinformation china calls out the u. s. as a direct threat to international order, saying washington is behind regional turmoil in many countries. the air to pam rooms royal dynasties, whose ancestor was hanged by the german colonial administration. speaks to

r t about the impact of european colonialism on africa with our family suffered a lot. all right, great grandfather died and we kept from that period what we called a syndrome because our family suffered from direct consequences, but no tonia family. there were darn it consequences for the whole world. so up with hello and good morning from our teen or national studios in moscow, from wherever you may be watching. welcome to the hours cop news stories from around the world. i'm fear allies about the c o of twitter you on must mock the social media platforms, previous censorship and its ties to the f. b. i pointing out that almost every, a parent conspiracy has now been proven to be true. almost every conspiracy theory that people had about twitter turned out to be true. if it's so think

if is there a conspiracy theory about twitter that didn't turn out to be true? i so far they've all turned out to be true. and if not, maybe more true than people thought. the latest exposure of twitter is a legit shady behavior shows us intelligence agencies aggressively push twitter to sensor anti ukrainian narratives, dismissing them as part of a so called russian propaganda campaign. here's our team marina. close that over with a closer look at the leaks, the west has long been accusing rush of lead in an elaborate coordinated effort. a line with its bots and shawl forms, few in kremlin propaganda or and c, ukrainian views twisting facts and spreading misinformation. the social media platform is trying to focus on the false rumors that are spread during times of crisis. this can be, for example, armed conflicts like russia's invasion of ukraine kremlin is actively deploying misinformation and this information,

i guess we already knew something like this was coming. we knew that they were out there spreading all this side, dishonest information it. and once the russians infiltrated the online community, they would slip in other messages. manipulative was 13 russians who allegedly tried to influence the 2016 presidential election using social media. ah. but when push comes to shove, the evidence is nowhere to be found. foreign meddling had been the ostensible justification for expanded moderation. since platforms like twitter were dragged to the hill by the senate in 2017. the hash tag, twitter files show exec sir, under constant pressure to validate theories of foreign influence, and unable to find evidence for key assertions. and if you can't try and try again

or just bad every one with an alternative points of view, which is exactly what they did using foreign meddling as an excuse. so accounts which post that valid concerns about neo nazis in ukraine or reports of human rights abuses committed by the ukrainian army were simply dismissed as russian propaganda. these people might exist, but if her awesome person is talking about it, it must be deleted as it doesn't fit the narrative. instead of looking in to the validity of the claims, the f, b, i instructed twitter to get rid of such post twitter executives who are apparently under pressure to validate government claims of a russian modeling campaign. but often came out and see handed for my checks. i could not find any indicators to suggest that the account is russian. however, going by the content of narrative coming out from the account. it's definitely pro russia. i can brainstorm and see if we can dig deeper and try to find a stronger connection. due to lack of technical evidence, now rent,

i've generally left to be waiting for more evidence. i think that oh window that is closing given that government potters are becoming more aggressive on a tradition the f. b. i allegedly pay twitter more than $3400000.00 in taxpayer funds since october 2019 in return. they had switzer, employees analyze, and domestic users. i. p data and phone numbers, tracking for any foreign connection, even to see whether a name was russian sounding. there was even a foreign influence task force was held regular meetings, attended by twitter, f, b, i personnel, and virtually every major attack firm like facebook and microsoft. o g, a or other government organization can be a euphemism for the cia. and that's according to multiple former intelligence officials and contractors as what was being discussed in those meetings. water

mistrusted to just international affairs. they kill 2 birds with one stone, and that one burring the hunter by the laptop story and the presence of neo nazis in ukraine. so all this time that washington has been accused of russia or using social media to shake public opinion. and it turns out that they were pulling the strings of one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. journalists, martin jay said some social media platforms are being used as a tool for western information warfare. you know, i think there is a very strong push from western leads to manipulate social media platforms because we don't forget that one of the war is going on on the ground. and ukraine was the greatest victims. in my view, the humble ukrainian people, there's a big war going on outside of ukraine, which i think is possibly even bigger and more significant,

which is an information in an americans wherever they go around the world. get involved in local political scraps. they always follow this doctrine of horizon issues dumbing down every think. and then following up with the disinformation campaign, i think it was more we look at the social media platforms, we see that they seem to come for more with that ideology with those, those morales, if us right, were didn't objects, i should say that anything else. so it's out there, you know, and it's very, very hard to take western social media platforms as soon as you, when there is this real loose, it objective to root house. anyone who doesn't really agree, who actually threatens to even start a debate on how we interpret the news every day from c, n, n and nbc and b, b, c, etc. you can get more details on all the twitter files. revelations, including the hunter, bite and laptop scandal, security agency,

censoring of social media, as well as the outrageous russian election meddling claims on our website at or t dot com. despite twitters new c, e o, eli must calling himself a free speech. absolute is a washington base, palestinian journalist has been banned from the social media platform for reporting on the israeli armies. actions the social network has previously been several palestinian news outlets without specifying any reasons. the last week posted on the reporter's account, before the ban was a photo of 2 israeli security officials during an attempted arrest of an armed palestinian who later died side r. a caught himself spoke to us about his case saying his reporting on the palestinian conflict was the main reason behind his suspension. i think it's related to the palestinian israeli conflict. i the, you know, i wouldn't say i'm a loud voice, but i'm a voice that speaks of what is going on to the house 10 years,

almost on daily basis in the press briefing. and i think that may be a cause for annoyance or cause for you know, discontent no, by those who are constantly advocating for israel. i do believe that there is set, you know, maybe at some point to parents, maybe from israel, maybe from the way the think tanks and is read maybe the probably really lobby and then i'd state. i never heard back from them. i know there was that the few journalists to liberal journalist, they called them and because they were suspended because they, it, we did things about ilana musk and the issue was raised in the state department on the 16th of december. and you know, i, i said i was banned as well. i was suspended as well. and lo and behold the following day, all the others were reinstated, but not the. so i continued to be suspended. i believe that is directly related to

the in the issue. there is no other reason. you know the us is a disable. i think force in the world creating disruption and other countries for its own gain. that's according to the chinese ministry of defense. facts has 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 willfully wages worse and creates 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. the strong statement came after the u. s. authorized up to

$10000000000.00 over the next 5 years to modernized, high one security capabilities. the islands offense, ministry says the decision shows, washington is committed to defending its ally, u. s. arm sales to taiwan have continued to grow. despite the issue straining beijing's relations with washington. nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies, says the u. s. uses taiwan as a tool and it's multi level strategy with china. is quite apparent that the taiwan strait is not at peace or the moment. and 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 seeing spokes person from china's defense ministry making our position very fun. so let's see. let's see, but i hope during the meeting of us, a secretary of state to blink. and when he visits china matters like this will be discussed in contrast to the sharp rhetoric towards washington. the relationship between beijing and moscow has been praised by china's top diplomat cities, i presume, but they can't put in 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 discard between the 2 countries and is immune from change in the international environment. nelson wong again told us the strength of russian chinese relations lies in their common vision of the world order. or i think the year 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 was this announcement that china believes in peace. china believes that the relation with russia really reflects the core interest,

respecting of the core interest of the respective countries. so this is something that i think are our 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 heard about our view towards the future, about multi polar world. ah, despite criticism from e, u and u. s. officials, russian president vladimir putin said moscow has never shied away from peace talks with ukraine, adding they have been prevented by its western counterparts. we seek dusty mealer sc tom. we have always sought to resolve all arising disputes via peaceful negotiations. but unfortunately, the other side functions differently,

it began carrying out harsh military measures and we were forced to defend the people living in these territories. i believe that we are acting in a justified manner and we're provided no other choice even so we are ready to negotiate acceptable solutions with the inclusion of all participants in the process. tedious. turkey as president and the hungarian prime minister have expressed similar views. the latter has said he believes that if the u. s. wanted to and the ukranian conflict, it would do so. neil's cuba t. unfortunately, the west has only made provocations and failed to make efforts to be a mediator in the ukraine. russia war. ukraine can only fight as long as the united states supports it with money and weapons. if the americans want peace, there will be peace. however, former italian prime minister mario groggy recently claimed it's a kremlin which is unwilling to de escalate. while nato's chief accused moscow of

trying to take advantage of any proposed cease fires recent weeks, i've seen a number of top western officials attempt to persuade kiev that now is not the right time for negotiations with russia. our job to continue to sustain our military support to ukraine, so they are in the best possible position on the battlefield. so that if and when diplomacy is ripe, they will be in the best possible position at the negotiating table. that moment is not right now. we have no illusions that to a 2 piece negotiation that would be possible in the immediate future. we must be clear that any unilateral coal for a cease fire by russia is completely meaningless. in the current context. i think it would be a false call. it would be used by russia to regroup, to reinforce their troops. meanwhile,

the chinese foreign minister has defended his country's position of neutrality in the ukrainian conflict, saying, begging aims to deepen ties with russia. in the coming year. it comes as moscow continues to strengthen cooperation with multiple countries in asia, africa, and the middle east, russia, foreign minister survey love rob said the world is now moving toward multi polarity with a majority of states, not sharing the weiss's anti russians, fans as possible. now she used blown the runcle, we have plans within the framework of the eurasian economic union, the shall high corporation organization and also breaks. certainly the overwhelming majority of the world's countries done off mimic their aggression, illegal sanctions, blackmail and threats to a. so the dominance that the united states and it's western allies do in the international arena, nobody likes it. western media reports have claimed russia has been removing its gold from european banks in response to sanctions are

t brings the details of moscow's plans to build a self sufficient gold reserve instead of relying on the us dollar. after western sanctions froze, nearly half of russia's golden foreign exchange reserves, moscow is doubling down on its efforts to counter the increased economic uncertainty with the russian finance ministry now suggesting to replace foreign cash reserves with gold bars. the initiative has found a vocal support among lawmakers. oh, you wouldn't. under the current circumstances, people do not have many financial instruments to protect their savings. therefore, this measure is aimed at allowing citizens to protect their savings and at d dollar ice in the economy. especially since now there are various risks when trying to make exchanges for other bank notes that will be impossible to use in russia. gold bars are safer than traditional currencies of so called unfriendly states. the 1st steps on the way to achieve greater independence were made back in march. when new legislation scrapped

a 20 percent value added tax on purchasing gold for individuals and allowed buying gold bars with foreign currency. the movies spark, they sevenfold rise and demand for gold on the domestic market, with 30 tons being sold so far. this year, the finance ministry expects those numbers to continue to rise. people have started buying more gold bars. these are not necessarily bank standard 12 kilogram bars. they can be much smaller. i talked to manufacturers as well as the minting company goes knock. they say there are no problems and there is no shortage of gold. it should be borne in mind that russia is one of the leaders and gold production. this is our competitive advantage. we have to use this, especially it's such a difficult time. the latest twist in a could tarry corruption scandal which has engulf the whole of the european union. now has the moroccans by in the center of the investigation. mohammed beller

racks. the alleged moroccan secret agent is suspected of corruption targeting european emi peas in recent years. and it turns out he's been on the european intelligent services radar for some time. according to media reports, he is one of the links connecting for european parliament member. pier antonio pen, sorry to the american secret service. pan, very, the former president of the n g o fight impunity, which was found to be a link between many key suspects now faces charges for money laundering and corruption. the former a new parliament vice president ever. kylie was also arrested and faced a similar accusations. other e u politicians involved with fight. impunity were also investigated by police including major union chief look of this and teeny, who was subsequently arrested and socialists. i'm a p, mark terah, bella, whose home was rated. here's how one of the board members described the situation

she found herself in. i feel extremely used, pans airy has used our names, our reputations. it's just such a betrayal. if this is now a big laundromat, which it seems to be, then it's so cynical because our vital human rights work is something that is so badly needed in the time where we are. in total belgian police have rated 20 locations in brussels, connected to the corruption and investigation authorities seized phones and computers, as well as $1500000.00 euros in cash. the moroccan intelligence service has yet to comment on allegations of its involvement guitar has denied all the accusations labeling them baseless and gravely misinformed. political and financial analyst, angel juliano says the corruption investigation is evidence of a much larger problem because the people but i need to remember they important case, which is we bigger is the collection scandal between your vondell i and the t or

pfizer. we're talking about the a scandal of 35000000000 you low of transactions for the purchase of copays vaccines. corruption is something of the widespread in the us. the only thing what is actually very allow me here is that it was not sophisticated the, this, this corruption was made with cash 1500000 euro in cash was very amateur. usually the way they do corruption in d, u is by creating offshore accounts and i think maybe they felt uncomfortable. this is in a context of. busy labeling katara is being in this case it's just keep goals of the collective west. we haven't cut our gates, we need to ask ourselves. the question is because of composition is taking more neutral positions between the collective west and these new multiple what that

is a legitimate question because car was always in the good partners of the you . he's the 1st time that they're actually going after heavily. this may be because you started not to listen to the collective wes. at least 34 people across the us have reportedly lost their lives due to a fear, snow storm tearing through parts of the country since last week. the territory gripped by cyclone is almost unprecedented, extending from the great lakes near canada to, to the texas border with mexico across the country. the storm knocked out power to as many as one point. $5000000.00 people with hundreds of thousands more warned that they could be left without power. buffalo is a most affected city where more than one meter of snow fell on sunday. with blizzards, making roads unusable and power stations being frozen, the new york governor described it as a crisis of epic proportion. this is

a war with mother nature, and she has been hitting house with everything she has. and this will go down in history as the most devastating storm and holiday travellers have also had their christmas plans ruined. as thousands of domestic and international flights have been cancelled due to weather conditions, huge cues were seen in airports. was people lying on the floor waiting for flights to resume? we heard from some of the stranded passengers. i'm terrified, honestly, i'm worrying. i really hope everything goes smoothly and i'm just praying for the bus. i wasn't as effective as other people were in a lot of some people remark like mr. white miss their clinic and fled to get to charlottesville, locally eligible to make sure they have to reschedule whole entire 3. you said to fly into amsterdam, and then to my long lost destination. my have to go to london from london to

amsterdam and from amsterdam. so i extended my flying thyme and connection time, and there was the great grandson of cameron's do allah, community king executed by the german colonial administration in their cameroon campaign. a century ago has spoken to r, t about the impact of european colonialism on his family, as well as the african continent. the cameroon campaign took place during the 1st world war when british, french and belgian forces invaded the german colony. in 1914, most of the campaign took place in cameroon, but skirmishes also broke out in british nigeria, when germany was defeated. britain and france agreed to divide cameroon, despite the conflict lasting just 2 years and taking place a century ago. descendants of the king of the do all the people say the consequences effect. modern cameroon to this day.

good sir, was it really? there are 3 things that are very important for me. the 1st one is that, as i often say, our family suffered a lot after our great grandfather died. and we kept from that period what we call a syndrome. because our family suffered from direct consequences, but not only our family. they were direct consequences for the whole world sauer for the entire katya's community. i think in the sense that it was a moment when the 1st elements of our decadence, he appeared before the period of to all a manga. and in the intermediate period, the dollar, the sour in general, but especially the dollar. they occupied the entire region and live in great prosperity. the prosperity and expansion were extraordinary at a commercial level, at exchange level. and since this particular situation, the history with germany and the tragic end of rudolph dwell among a bell, there is a decline. the whole sour world suffers the consequences of this historical situation

. and one of the consequences today is the poverty of our community. the poverty means that to day, even in cameroon, our community does not occupy its place in the sense that to participate with its status in the evolution of our country. i want to say that the history of the hanging of drywall among for us is something extremely painful. we do not express a direct hatred towards the germans, but we have a desire to simply rebuild our community the see the sick it is 1st of all, africa has a lot of resources here, except that very often these resources are no export directly at national level but by international companies, powerful countries are shifting their interest towards africa. why? because it is how to say a lot of interest, not only at the population level, africa is a densely populated continent. it means that it is a market for consumption. besides, the africans are improving in quality,

and consumption takes road to v big dimensions. it is something that corresponds to the interest of the northern powers, as they are called, because they are interested of course, not only to have a relationship with africa in the present time, but also in the future with. and that's our up on the hour's top news stories from around the globe from war 247 coverage had over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble. and gab, thanks for tuning in the see back next hour. ah ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true war his face? in a world corrupted you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah ah,
