delivered a speech on china's all foreign policy in 2022. he had also re, it's rated the relationship between china and russia is rock solid and away and comes to the ukraine conflict. obviously, the u. s. has had, you know, failed to persuade china to join international sanctions. again, russia, china, russia, see each other as a strategic counter waited to the united states and share many common interests. you know, a boat that china and russia believe a mutual assistance between these 2 countries. will i effectively balance the u. s . and diffuse the d as strategic pressure than the strengthening of the chest landing at ally as may bring to both countries. chinese ready to work with the russia and the world to oppose. hagaman is a man power politics opposed to unilateralism protectionism and bully and china, russia matic partners. with a common goal of pushing back at

a western dominant 8 dominated international system. the indian, the air force will dominate future battlefields. that's the statement from an i a f wing commander, offer a successful test of a super sonic at a surface cruise missile with an extended range of the touch was carried out in the sky above the bay of bengal where a target ship was hit from a distance of 450 kilometers out of this version of the missile. how to? well, it's range upgraded and the missile was launched by a bolton su, $35.00 jet the india jointly makes with russia or the plane as a significant part of the indianapolis. with more than $200.00 currently in service . and i was speaking with former indian air marshal emma watson, who told us of the modernization of the indian armed forces is a priority for the country. like any country has the modernization, broad, those is linked to the financial, certain budgetary browser,

but also in all the time frame, big fairly long time. and lucian, nevertheless, the military, where it will be strong. and it is one of the obviously believing military by the way to me. but because even you know, my name but a newsletter capable of india and you've never been faced with the significant nuclear modernization that taking place better. no doubt that you will consider what made the manipulate incoming israeli prime minister. netanyahu has vowed to make settlement expansion in the west bank. his priority policy, of course, immediate reactions were forthcoming from palestinians. the state of palestine rejects the station as violent, racist, and incitement to ethnic cleansing, policy guidelines of israel's new government. this agenda is an interest actual

threat to the blessed indian people and they're ineligible and inviolable. rise then in yellow is newly formed. a coalition has released guidelines have yvonne's on the west bank territories report the income and gotten that is the most hard line of radical. the country's history. a western countries have previously condemned television moves to legalize israeli settlements scattered throughout the west bank. meanwhile, the un envoy involved in the middle east peace process underlined the security council meeting. but this past year was the deadliest ever in the west bank. i am gravely concerned by the sharp increase in violence against civilians on both sides, which exacerbates mistrust and undermines a peaceful resolution of the conflict is really settlement expansion in the occupied west bank, including east jerusalem remains deeply concerning settlements constitute a flagrant violation of united nations resolutions and international law, they undermine the prospects of achieving

a 2 state solution by systematically eroding the possibility of establishing a contiguous, independent viable and sovereign palestinian state. some former is rarely do him out of even pender letter to prime minister netanyahu expressing concerns that the new government could be considered the most anti arab and israel's history. the diplomat so suggested the new policy may seriously damage relations with other countries as the desired expansion in the westbank. ultimately, contrib picks international law. but we've heard from locals there who note, well serious concerns that mil her vehicle marvis extremist government has every intention of conducting an escalation against the palestinian people and set its eyes on him. pausing is rarely control over the west bank and the rights of his rather people through all the lands. maybe our shop, we are the world, the hannah. allah, alice indians have tried these governments, but this is the most extreme and racist government ever like it. but in light of

the palestinian division, it doesn't look good for them on the palestinian areas, have been in flames this year. more than a 175 palestinians died in the west bank and 56 in garza. danielman called the what this government seeks to take over the west bank can increase the presence of his railey settlements. this year has been the bloodiest is many palestinians were intentionally targeted and killed, which means our israel wants to ethnically cleanse the west bank and clear all palestinians from its r as is said in these railey media. joining me other here in the program was a mere oran, a defense and government commentator. now he says that the incoming government may be of concern to well that of the issue of future peace in the region. this is a very dangerous period because for the last 14 years now he's really government. most of them, of course, we're headed by anytime you know, but there was a period of the year and a half, not to let them know where the hell. none of those governments has advanced because

of fees, but this incoming government threatens to set back the cause of being by expanding settlement by directing the by ability of the future published in state. and even within israel, there are problems is really society. and therefore, the government is seen by many israelis, half of these really population of baby legal law, legitimate i could have your company for this program and 18 month investigation into an f. d. a approved to alzheimer's drug called ado helm has concluded that there was foul play involved in the approval process. or the report comes after suspicions were raised about the drugs clinical benefit and the high price set by the pharmaceutical company producing it. biogen. this report documents the a typical f

d review process in corporate greed that proceeded after years controversial decision to grant accelerated approval to adul home. i am hopeful these findings are a wake up call for the f d a to reform its policies and the call to action to my congressional colleagues to continue oversight of the pharmaceutical industry to ensure they don't put profits over patience. live to new york and eventually to correspond. caleb open very is good to say you caleb what what, what, what can you tell us more about this? a situation involving the f d a approval over to you while the drug was originally approved, back in june of 2021 and the report indicates that the circumstances surrounding the approval raise of quite a bit of red flags. there's quite a bit of irregularity. this was the situation where in 2019 the clinical trials had been cancelled. because an independent report concluded that this drug was probably

not very effective in fighting all timers. and when it came time for approval, not a single member of the advisory committee voted in favor of approving the drug yet it was pushed through anyway, i went ahead and that there was essentially lots of irregularities throughout the approval process. the da, i accelerated approval and that it appears that the drug big pharma company, biogen and the food and drug administration of united states were collaborating and working together in this process. they had over a $110.00 meetings and calls about this issue. and they weren't very apologetic, it seems about that they were working together to carry out a joint goal. this is what has been reveal other than the scheduling emails indicating the conversations took place that was no official memo realisation of at least 66 schools as substantive email exchanges among the sub

groups of the collaborative work stream team. a fact that was apparently overlooked by f d h review team until the entire overview was initiated. now at this point, we have the facts in front of us and the details of this report are pretty damning . they seem to show that rather than being concerned about making sure that the 6000000 americans and suffer from alzheimer's would get some kind of treatment that would improve their conditions. they were the f. d. a was simply secured at him and concerned about securing the profits were these drug corporations. and that biogen of his drug company was hoping to make a lot of money and helping them make that money was the concern that the sta was focused on by a jan initially said, an unjustifiably high price for and down at $56000.00 per year. to make history for the company, despite the impact on patients and the medicare program. documents obtained by the

committees show that by jan viewed at a helm as an unprecedented financial opportunity estimate in a potential peak revenue of $18000000000.00 per year. and developed aggressive launch and marketing plans to maximize revenue throughout the drugs life cycle. now this drug was potentially quite burden for patient. so it was indicated that those who took this drug in the hopes of offsetting the facts of all timers would be paying up to 20 percent of their incomes for it. and biogen was set to make billions of dollars off of this drug. and the details about the results of the clinical studies and all of that would indicate that they were paying people were paying lots of money for something that wasn't really going to be helping them in the long run. now, all of this raises questions about the power of big pharma in washington, d. c. and how it seems like a lot of members of congress and the food and drug administration itself as work to

collaborate with these big corporations and enable them to make profits. and the health of the public has been pushed aside. we're looking over the twitter files and there revelations about how the dialogue around the issue of cove it was being suppressed that certain certain opinions and certain facts about coven, one thing. and we're not allowed on twitter or we're suppressed on twitter. and it's all raises questions about the power of big money in washington dc. and how it seems like the safety and health of average americans, something that the food and drug administration is supposed to be protecting that seems to have been left behind. or i'd also kellum off and lie for us in new york. thank you. while a former french president of france will alone, has reiterated what others have said that the minced agreement set to bring peace in the dawn bass will use to give key of time to prepare for war. such a revelation appears to contradict his previous statements on the matter. in

a 2016 visit to romania, the former french leader told reporters that the minsk agreement, so the only option to sustain peace and stability in ukraine. this while former german chancellor angle americans recently admitted the minutes agreements was simply arranged to buy time for the key of from the beginning. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you crane time. you can use this time to become stronger as you can see today. the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of to day. all right, crossing locked out of crystal. they all journalist on the founder of the don bass . inside to discuss these statements by former ag latest crystal a very good evening to you, great to have you on the program. thanks for coming with you. what do you think them former leaders, chris tell those who signed the minutes? because now stating that long term piece was never planned in a word. it's shocking. how would you describe this? it's really amazing. i mean, already the declaration of angular america kill shocked me. because from my point

of view, it's like sabbath aging, the whole credibility of the wister and diplomacy and now for also along the doing the same. and i'm just amazed how they don't see that it will lead to a complete collapse of all the credibility that the west can have in terms of diplomacy. or you talk about you provide the sure credibility and i, and i think that's absolutely forefront here. and we will pick that up with you crystal in just a moment, but frontal on angular mark, apparently, i mean, i know the flight in my approach was profoundly disappointed when he heard these words coming from his old friend, anger. merkel. do you think putin, what was the only one who was kept in the dark about this? i see i seeing that he knew at some point that what they wanted, at least he knew that ukraine wanted to save time. perhaps he thought that europe

had some interest to, to get back peace on the continent. but you're just wanting to, to do a fake peace treaty. and now they are even claiming it publicly in the newspapers. so it's just amazing from my point of view, a crystal what, what about the reputation of the e? i'm not going to be slinging mud here, and i would, i want to be the devil's advocate by the end of the day when it comes to the, you know, potentially helping to, to propose a piece plan to help do piece talks. i mean, the credibility is theoretically shot crystal. it's not there is it leads particularly short. i mean, there has the, you know, put in said we will, we will, we will discuss with people worried. you lie. so obviously woo signed a paper and a few years after i said, no, we just misled you. we just cheated and we lie to you. but you can discuss with

these kind of people, you cannot sign any agreements with them. so. so the credibility of the european union is now completely destroyed. and so they have no need you to see to, to, to, to talk about any p talks or any peace proposal. or, i mean, because russia will, of course, not find any people with them. because now the rest of her and she's going to do this any paper assigned with the, with turn leaders as a politically know what you know crystal. but we know we know, for example, ever since what was a us orchestrated coup in my diary of 2014 we. we know that ever since then. but the european and american military advisors happy in helping ukrainians train get weaponized big tunnels, fortify bunkers as well. essentially, all sorts of preparations for war and yet cristo the western media. didn't say

anything about any of these preparations over the past 8 years. all of a sudden putin, the bad guy invades ukraine. it seems to me as much of the world, only seeing one side of this story. yes. yes. and during 8 years they have, he didn't all the work crimes of the ukrainian army there. he didn't all the violations of the music agreements by ukraine, putting the blame on russia were russia was only a warrant, are alike friends in germany and, and even now we see that the western media continue to hide the war. crimes of the queen an army. they don't speak about the shilling like we have the beginning of december intensive shilling almost every day on the center of dawn. yes. can they don't speak about that? even worse. they sometimes took the pictures from shilling in done yet, which are from the ukrainian army to illustrate articles about the war crimes of the russian army. i mean, what is it? well, it's just not really surprising. is it?

because the very, the very outlets that are broadcasting these kinds of things that belong to the very countries that russia is fighting in ukraine and as food. and i said, you know, it's essentially one country versus anywhere from $30.00 to $50.00. you've got russia taking on the best of the west in the unfortunate tragic playground stage in ground. i should say, of ukraine christ out, give us a way out of its culture. take us one year from now. what's going to be the situation in ukraine in 12 months? 12 months? no, i a think and hope that the hold on bus will be completely liberated. and i think that to the russian army will go further to the west. i hope that in one year we will have reached a point where you crane as decided to capitulate and to sign a peace agreement with russia. because if not, they will not lose only to return. they will lose a lot of men of the peace. they are losing for years now. i mean,

they will have nobody left in one year. christopher john list on the founder of the don bass inside of joining us live here on our international. always so good to see you. thanks for your work. well, thanks for joining us here for this program on our international at the international criminal court in the hague has held a 25 year sentence given to a uganda and insurgent commander dominic own. when was the leader of the gorilla group that called itself the lord's resistance army? it was implicated and atrocities that left thousands bed and displaced in the countries north. ah. one day at night my blood, my money was setting that we, we live home,

we go to dead. the friend all i knew was telling me that he saw somebody before luna always catching dad children. so at night this recall came on kick diddo and they started to say that with a real bad me and a young taylor was the vendor nor anything from my i was know that this is a but people because those that have to pay that with their up with all course, you will not up anything. so no, i no options. you have to follow their rules. eve, you say to day you are going to move nowadays, you have to move and be in a young child. i don't know any directions where these people are going. if you said you wanted to race, you say ok if you want to rest eudoxia and it is what is eve?

you said you wanted to rest? no one desk in you. ah, the impact of the conflict? it's too huge. so a lot of people within the commute enough to family members. it's so many people lost their property. so this to a lot of resentment. so could have you with us for this program on our t. and before we join our next guest, turkey a calls out french politicians for attending. riley's, the displayed flags of the courtesy on work as party, while anchor considered it to be a terrorist organization that says that paris should not have allowed such activities. the protest started in response to

a deadly shooting that occurred in the cultural center in which 3 people were killed. quickly turning the streets of paris into a riot seen. several members of the code is community. the blamed anchorage of the attack with turkey, a responding that the real culprit behind the violence is that of the p k. k group was the p k k group that became a hot topic during finland and sweden bid to join nato with anchor demanding a crack down on members inside the 2 countries and seeking extradition. well, let's learn more crossing live now without the use of atom editor of t. r t. well, joining us live from istanbul a very well welcome to you in a very good evening. so what, what are your comments just off the top of your head, on what the turkish foreign ministry had to say regarding these protest in france and these flags? well, when we look at french politicians are visiting this type of protest. her, 1st of all, we have to realize that this is a 2 dimensional event. one does is then launched by

a frenchman against the minority group. so they happen to be kurdish. but again, then we see the p. k. hijack the reaction to the center. phobic is act and try to thrust itself into the forefront and this is something that does. it does not want to see flags and paraphernalia and supporters of a designated therapy a terrier that is responsible for the death of 40000 people over the past 4 decades . i'll walk around on the streets of paris. unhindered allowed to assemble allows the party propaganda. this is a red line for you in the national security concerned, especially when this takes place at a capital of a nato members state. so this has always been done is opposition to sweden pigments need to work session bit as well and seeing this. all right now in paris is very concerned, and it's also showing how legitimate it concerns and opposition regarding us. we

didn't nato session beta are and that this is a very relevant, an urgent and 8 current problem. and situation in many european happens use of as you well know, this is not the 1st time the turkey has asked western countries today to denounce this party. and of course, turkey a and, and so many western countries, all part of the very same nato family. but do you think the voice of ankara is being heard? unfortunately, doesn't seem to be heard and very ought to be. but it seems that nato partners aren't comprehend. you don't actually don't want to comprehend our national security concerns. and that's been the problem. this was exactly what we talked about at the summit. we saw the communicate from the madrid summit. talk about fighting all forms of there that was added to word all form at some of your

community. so many people thought it was a step in the right direction, but when he see perspective candidate, countries with rallies for this terror group, when we see this tear group being able to assemble in the heart of paris, it monday in germany. it does meet you to think twice. so what are you doing to be able to stop now? it rather than b, this was isis. or if this was al qaeda with allow these group assemble in their capital. would they not consider this a domestic or a national security concern? so the question is, what you pay this type of community. you are the grand type of unity because they're not typically acting these western countries in their own national security problem for you. and if that's the case, why are you are part of the collective defensive organization. now,

what is a very good point? you said, but you know, this is going to ask you about this because i'm at the end of the day. and if i incur is angry about french officials attending rallies with that, with the coder supporters and showing that the p k flags for example, isn't out of the one very, very soon going to be in a stronger position when dealing with his european professional pop as we know that they're already making steps, turkey and russia to create this brand new, colossal gas energy hub in turkey. it'll be russian energy going to to, to be re sold to europe. doesn't this put out of the one in a strong position when it comes to as partners in the west is definitely done. it definitely does. and this is something that you just wander for quite a while regarding the energy rushing gas is very important to get. and despite the rhetoric coming from western capital, it's very important to them right now. maybe 10 years from now, they might be able to wean all fresh gas, but for the foreseeable future, ah,

russian gas is still the most viable and the most feasible source of energy and for most of europe. so that's going to continue and we're going to see rhetoric coming from the west. say they want to lay off russian gas. they don't want to bite, but the reality is on the ground, the realities at home. the reality is that the eater they reality. so say that russian gas is going to be here to stay for quite a while and it wants to see self by center stage being an energy out for it and not just russian gas or regional gas as well. so this is something that's very important, very central to, to is energy policies in energy portfolio going folk is really impressive. move was being made these days on the geopolitical chessboard use of atom, the editor of t r t. well, joining us live from istanbul where it's just about half past 8 in the evening as always. great to see you. thank you for your time and thank you for your time for joining us here at our.
