who she used to pursue professional that did you do you put up a list of over, but usually they used to live with ah ah, another ukrainian politician gets caught red handed with a fake news story. she posts an old photo of an irish boy, a child victim of the conflict in ukraine. more than 20000000 children are at risk of hunger 1st and deadly infections in africa. that's the latest from unicef. we heard from the regional director. fortunately, i'm going to to 6 failed and raining c sent, making the situation even worse, and we really need to prepare for the worst case scenario. russia, bonds, oil exports to any country complying with the g 7 price cap. the measures will come

into effect in february with 4 pm here in moscow. and this is asi international with the latest that world news update is very good to have you with this, our now social media uses have debunked yet another fake news story from ukraine, posted online by a local lawmaker who try to pass off an old photo of an irish boy as a child victim of the conflict in ukraine. the saddest part there are no children in ukraine any more. only little humans with very grown up eyes, old to even somewhat tired of a life yet and lived pictured mark 8 years old. just survived a russia artillery attack. readers added context, they thought people might want to know. this image predates the conflict in the ukraine, and if he is on a novel published in 2013,

went on to the studio by ortiz at don core to now to find out more about this. don't just the, how exactly was a story exposed? well, the ukrainian m p that posted this photo on the 1st bill in the 1st place straight up, lied about it. i mean, she said that there was an 8 year old boy there that survived some sort of russian artillery attack. when in reality, this kid was an irish orphan, this was a picture that was taken from the cover of a book, a 2013 spanish translation of the misremembered man. so while you definitely shouldn't a judge, a book by its cover, you most certainly should not take what ukrainian officials are saying at face value about this kind of stuff. the photo is lifted from a 2013 book by christie mckenna, more broadly, it is true that the crimes of nazi regimes bring disaster on their own children. do ukrainian officials and pundents not nail for vass image such as to keep posting

such fakes. the tweets glaring and accuracy didn't stop it from getting widespread distribution though, i mean, after all, the ukrainian m p that tweeted it has over 330000 followers on twitter and the u. n. head of global communications even responded to it with a broken heart that despite the fact that her account said that all the information there is verified and based in science, i mean this time it clearly wasn't. so it makes you wonder just how often were being duped. here, well, i don't know, could this not have just been an honest mistake by this particular? well, i mean, we have actually been seeing this pretty consistently since russia launched its social media since it launched a special military operation. i mean, children being used in the western media and by ukrainian officials to manipulate people's emotions, to change their opinions on the ukraine conflict through by through that way. and we actually made earlier this month, a report covering all these stories, just how many of them are either fake or actually the fault of the ukrainian

military. ah and doesn't stop there either. earlier this year we saw another ukrainian m p, or a ukranian official, rather post a picture of a drawing of a girl on twitter who apparently was from ukraine and she had cut her hair to protect herself from being raped by russian troops. so the story goes, except we saw no evidence come with this story, and the drawing was essentially a copy and paste a job from an actual photo of a girl who died an al switzer. now we've seen

a lot of these fakes going around the internet, but just to give you an idea of the sheer scale of this fake information war, we can look at an australian report that was published about twitter activity towards the earlier days and weeks of russia's special military operation, it said that over 80 percent of tweets from that time were part of a covert propaganda operation. and over 90 percent of the accounts that were making these tweets were pro ukrainian. ok. don't many thanks for those details. thus, at ortiz, on quote, i think a number of children suffering a due to an extreme drought across ethiopia, kenya, on somalia, has more than doubled in 5 months, according to the un children's fund unicef, more than 20000000 children art risk of hunger 1st and deadly infections in africa . well collective an accelerated efforts have mitigated some of the worst impact of what had been feared. children in the horn of africa,

i still facing the most severe drought in more than 2 generations. according to your necessities, 2000000 children in ethiopia, county on somalia will need urge and treatment for acute malnutrition that has 24000000 people face water shortages or children across africa. faith, labor exploitation, gender based violence on sexual harassment, nika, van de ville unicef, deputy regional director for easton and southern africa say that the situation is deteriorating amid a shortage of funds. we have our colleagues all across the 3 countries, seeing a tremendous deterioration of the situation of the children in these countries that are affected by drap. and unfortunately we are going to dis, 6 field raining c said making the situation even worse. and we really need to prepare for the worst case scenario. so less rain is again, less walter,

less livelihoods, and increase the acute malnutrition disease outbreak. and of course of food insecurity across those 3 countries that are really affected severely by the draft specially the youngest. really are at risk for severe malnutrition and for us to really have them, there's only one particular intervention that is really required, which is ready to use for public feeding. and if children are molnar race, the risk is march, how your, if they catch me so that they would actually pass away. so they're not on the unit . so we have a un family that is looking for money. everybody has their own mandate and they need to find a funding together in the horn. it is not an easy environment to raise funds, especially because the funds that we need are constantly increasing and they. *

also increasing not only because of the number of children that are affected, but also because of some of the inflation and the price increase that we see across the world. and so we, we are also need to deal with those challenges at the same time turning to india now, where drug factories across the country are currently under investigation by the pharmaceuticals that regulator, that's off the gambia claims. there was a link between children's death and the indian made cough syrup, india, so the medicine was not to blame ortiz, india, corresponding to engine sharma has more. firstly, india is recognized in the world as the pharmacy off the wall. and now these reports, 1st from gambia and now from baker san assure, are denting in the pharmaceutical industry. in fact, emmy wants to point out here that in the last decade or so,

the exports as far as pharmaceuticals and india, are concerned, they've more than doubled or so. and essentially what happened in october, the world health organization linked to death of around $66.00 children with indian made cough syrup, quote, unquote, contaminated indian mean golf throughout san, essentially very recently on the 13th of december, the drug regulator of india ross to the world health organization, seeing that samples from all of these pharmaceuticals were collected and all of these pharmaceutical samples that were collected. in fact, they were tested in a government lab and all the samples were found safe. and also complying with quality specifications. essentially said that the world health organization made a very pre mature, sort of a link between the deaths of children in gambia to these cough syrup that was applied for it. and also they said that they were only supplied in west part of

africa. having said that, india eve conducting searches, india is conducting inspections, country wide across the country. do you have a need by the drug regulator, all india. and the same thing? pharmaceutical company, both big and small, in a sense to assure the world that india does care about processes safety. it's not going to compromise on that. russia has bonds, the exports of crude oil petroleum products to any country complying with the plants cap, imposed by the west. it said to come into force in february. moscow has brands that violation of international law. we are prohibiting supplies of russian oil and petroleum products to foreign legal entities and individuals provided that the contracts for the supplies directly or indirectly apply a price kept mechanism. early this month, western nations place

a price cap on russian oil exports, new cap at $60.00 a barrel is designed to for 3rd party bias such as india or china. it's a full in line with the west foreign policy goals. since the announcement price is off crude, oil and petroleum have risen across the board on western energy markets, oil and gas experts. caballo say russia is leading those oil countries that are outside of opec. while the implication will be interesting, what i the end of the day, it will be in the positive interests of russia, because this is what i want everybody to understand across the room. when you talk about, well on gas, you're talking about an international commodity here on we know about the oil car tell call, or peg, or peggy very from oil cartel dot com influence prizes across the globe and production. what we should also remember that the non opec members actually lead by

russia for every time you think about saudi arabia as a very strong boy nation. i'm a member of opec. you have to look at russia in similar capacity because russia is leading, you know, coil members on that. simply mean, i mean, any attempt to, to come up with policies or strategies. i would not be in the interest over russia . i mean, yeah, we should have some level of retaliation ahead of a private us military grid which trends ukrainian soldiers has labeled the country corrupt. well, also saying that ukrainian fighters have killed russian prisoners of war. it's a corrupt of society. the let you know. so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like, i have to have you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god,

ukraine. so awesome. no, because it's i understand that's plenty of people running ukraine. it's not bad that it's about global norms, right? right. spout food and the mozart group, an american private security company that proudly markets itself as a veteran, military force providing training to ukrainian soldiers inside the country. it was founded by retired us marine colonel andrew milburn, who's been repeatedly put in a better style for helping out key if in this time of need. yet, as it turns out, he is very, very far from a fan of ukraine. but apparently there's a lot that the mozart group is morally prepared to forgive and forget the cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of

a number of things that they're doing with p o. w 's is violating laura laura vom conflicts. you can't help due to, i mean, every nose surrender, i mean. and then now there was plenty of all this is something you wouldn't expect to hear from the same person who publicly glorify the war in ukraine as just. and as far from the 1st contradictory statement from milburn, in fact, his accounts of what's happening on the ground in ukraine have been all over the place in one c in an interview. for instance. the former colonel is unequivocal. all foreign weapons sent to ukraine, accounted for. i would see that the very last concern that the united states government should have right now is that these arms end up in the wrong hands. and it's almost like his evil twins and appears on c b s. with

a statement that sounds the polar opposite. i can tell you on arguably, sat on the frontline units. these things are not getting that. all right. drones switch blades. i faxed them off. all right, body on the helmets. you name it. is it safe to characterize this is a little bit of a black hole. i suppose if you don't have visibility of whether stuff is going and if you're asking that question, then it would appear that it's black hole. yeah. now cave of course, wasn't impressed by the reporting and somehow managed to bully c, b. s to retract and take down the piece. but there have been repeated concerns over western arms and being up on the global weapons, black market. this unverified footage, for instance, proposed to show us and european made rocket launch is meant for ukraine ending up in syria. all this comes as no surprise to anyone who's been following events in

ukraine long enough over the years. and the nazi groups like the, as of the battalion that used to be reputation, li, toxic, and deficiency band from receiving west and weapons, have now being rebranded as heroes. ukraine's own image has been polluted so badly by rampant corruption for years. but this year, key of somehow got the power to send any western media outlet who dares to bring this up. but as long as this can be weaponized to have russia, cave will continue to have its carte blanche. the contrast with his portrayal in mainstream publications like the new york times, which wrote a puff piece about retired colonel andy milburn. he's kind of a famous figure in marine circles. and now he's running one of the biggest mercenary companies in ukraine. the mozart group, but then here you have him on this military groupie podcast called team house. like after an hour his speech starts to slur. and then he really starts to lift the mask

and says, it's not really about ukraine for him. ukraine is a screwed up society in so many terms. it's run by in his words, sick people and the soldiers are rampantly committing atrocities. actually, one of the host tries to walk back the term atrocities, and he corrects and says, no, these are atrocities. and they are being committed there. so as a very candid sasha, yeah, drinking session with colonel andy milburn providing a view of ukrainian society that he had a front seat to having train so many soldiers. and that u. s. media still refuses to tell americans about as the host of team house said, we can't actually start abandoning our ukrainian partners at this point. even though in the u. s. military, he claimed that you would be done if you film po w's on, on camera being shot and summarily executed, as we've seen from ukraine. but i don't think this will have any repercussions for

the war effort as a whole, because this is what the $45000000000.00 already allocated for 2023 by congress. which just clapped like seals for zalinski is paying for it's paying for these atrocities. this unprofessionalism and the u. s. military intelligence apparatus is willing to go along with that as long as they get results, what are the results they want? it's what milburn and his buddies in the man cave said they were weakening. putin and destabilizing russia and africa is another week and suffering due to the conflict in ukraine. speaking at a regional summit in november, nigeria, as president, claim weapons initially as a designated for keith have ended up in the hands of local terrorist groups. he said, the war threatened his country security. regrettably, the situation in the saw heal and the raging war in ukraine service, major sources of weapons and fights is the boast of the ranks of the terrorists in late charge region. weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are

equally beginning to filter to the region from the pay scale. the incident aunt molly says, the west has contributed to the instability in africa due to its ongoing support to the train. for my partner, the west is only risking its future damage that they realize now that everything is more or less lost, but they don't really want to lose face exempt from the west thinks it can always restore its image. but i don't think that's the case at all. they're, they're not in the best position right now. if you look at all these terrorists, a lot of weapons were acquired by them with the help of the western sky in libya, for instance, it was the west that caused everything. and then libya essentially found. thus a hail region of africa is now in chaos. these are all the games of the west and my opinion didn't. the pentagon has still not responded to the u. s. congress on america alleged well in a 2017 as strike in nigeria. they came to more than a 100 civilian lives. in september the u. s. secretary of defense was given 90 days

to reveal details of the as tried, but not the deadline has now passed. the intercept news that website suggests that the unwillingness to respond may be an indication of guilt. the formerly secret african document obtained by the intercept suggests that the u. s. may have launched this rare internal investigation because it secretly provided intelligence or other support to the nigerian armed forces who carried out the deadly strike. according to the documents seen by the intercept to us africa commands lower, say, secret investigation just days off the attack on a refugee camp. the document calls the as strike an example of us nigerian operations. although i for calm officials, denied involvement in the incident. and i do read and research from human rights watch, say washington's on willingness to provide clarity is troubling. bound to guns, failure to provide information and documents to determine possible us involvement

in a nice strike to, to manage to be enlarged. ne nigeria does not bode well for the us. government's expressed commitment to transparency and accountability. it sounds. what is the message that at minimum, the defense department isn't willing to engage on an issue affecting countless lives and may even reflect in attempts to evade responsibility. those killed in the as strikes had been fleeing the conflict in north eastern nigeria when the government is fighting militants. nigeria and officials have expressed regret over the attack. a local correspondent brings as more details 5 years ago. and i'm sure i'm mutually as like, it's a civilian comp and the board at all. no. for ron, 180 kilometers from maple cree, claiming that the life of at least 115 people, including children and humanitarian walk us the pentecost, called one investigation into the u. s. military involvement in the atrocity has thrown in reaction from medically residents. and i livi as i mention it to but she

will. this investigation is very cute because we have waited for so long to know what happened. but no one said anything, even though it's light, we want to know you conducted the attack. we know and merrick is the war power, but whoever is behind these should be investigated. because these will put everyone off making similar mistakes in the future when we don't want this investigation to be politically influenced to put a lot of children and families died and some have been made homeless. so are not and are there, even if the air force got such intelligence from america, they should conduct a thorough check on the site before bombing it. it's after a massacre has happened. the 2 countries trade blame when people have died. those who are behind this should be brought to justice. oppose new coalition. government is seeking to maintain ties with both china and india. with the administration's main focus being on the south asian countries, economic growth will maintain relationships of equal proximity with both our

neighbors. we must immediately focus on, contain inflation, maintain reserves, race capital expenses, narrow detroit deficit, and lower interest rates. format, my waste gorilla fighter of pushback, kamala de holl, has been appointed prime minister for a 3rd time and aims to strike a balance between napoleon, neighboring regional powers, china and india. india remains the poles speaking to trading partner, while as partnership with aging deepens continues to deep. and we spoke with senior poly journalists to get more about the country's relations with neighboring india and china. india need clear, ready to mediately ruled, bringing my ways to the political industry. my credit to lead was india, which had a bigger and really intrinsic relations remain until 2000. but when india did mediated at all in bringing my always to the

peace process in the fall. and succeeded in that when i started getting enrolled in the internal politics in coordination with the european union and us that all the time when it became very suspicious of orders increase presence of the wish. countries not so much of india that why easton or the western countries european union or us coming in such a big scaling. it was politics. so italian messy so also started including its presence investment and now has become really, really strong. it has got a really strong incident when you, thanks for joining us. hey, on to national web, back in 30 minutes with the very latest news. ah,

ah, ah, ah. with by any measure, the year 2022 has been transformative. the conflict in ukraine,

global inflation, growing food insecurity, and the west demand that you are with us or against is dominated our attention. on this addition of cross talk, we discussed some of these issues and more ah the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 1885, in the very heart of the african continent a state under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared since the beginning, the congo free state was total, may him for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their

quota were beaten and mutilated to keep the congolese people under control. the king set up the so called forest bleak which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants, fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals . the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet used, and as proof presented a chop hand of an african, it was not uncommon when trying to justify the use of the ammunition. the colonist amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide. in only 20 years, the policy of the belgians led to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust. that genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the
