very dramatic, i developed this only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. i'm time to sit down and talk with our headline stories this our a critical piece deal signed by ukraine 7 years ago was actually used to give, give war time to prepare for war of the confession made by former french president francois, along with health broker dealer also head india's military successfully test fires, an upgraded version of it news, supersonic cruise missiles which it say's will ensure a dominance on future about looking on palestinian authorities. la, shy at what they describe as israel's ethnic cleansing policy of expanding. supplements in the disputed with

mid day in moscow, and with that final day of 2022. welcome to the news. our last to bring you this saturday. let's get into it. another former european leader francois a land has confirmed that a momentous peace agreement designed to end the conflict and done by 7 years ago was actually used to give, give more time to prepare for war against russia. yes angela merkel is right on this point. since 2014, ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. thus the time that prudent thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact, an opportunity for the ukrainians. 3 of the 4 leaders who participated in the peace deal have now confirmed turn all cheerier purpose of their past intentions. the

deal approved by the un security council banking 2015 was presented by the european leaders of the only option for sustaining peace and stability in ukraine. apart from mr. alum, former german shelves, lar merkel, next ukrainian president polish unco actually admitted that the deal was meant from the very beginning to buy time for the key of to strengthen its military to 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you credit time. you couldn't use this time to become strong as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of to day. i needed the minsk agreement to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato standards. well, despite those recent confessions,

e u powers and ukraine have previously accused russia of violating the men's agreements. we heard from the founder of the new site, don bass, insider said brussels has no last any legitimacy remaining for brokering peace between russia and ukraine. that you know, put in said we will, we will discuss with people worried july the so yeah, so obviously we signed a paper and 2 years after i said, no, we just misled you. we just cheated it and we like to you, but you can discuss with these kinds of people. you cannot sign any agreements with this 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 proposals. or, i mean, because russia will, of course, not find any paper with them. because now the russian authorities have been to the

any paper assigned with the western leaders as absolutely no one you absolutely no more attacks on efforts to route the political opposition. those are among the new years resolutions presented by the head of key of national security service. for silly mac said in a recent interview, data main goal would be to neutralize any support for russia. with a new crate, i can predict 3 things in the coming year. more blasts and new special operations of the secure the services of ukraine for the cleansing of the 5th column and fence of the russian world inside ukraine. and most importantly, a new legendary victories of the current in defenders. well, you will recall key f as already engaged in trying to eliminate the use of the russian language in the former soviet republic as well as retard cultural and religious ties. including by seizing property from the orthodox church. there are

also reports of ukrainian trips, committing atrocities against residents, sympathetic to russia in areas that key of military recently took from local forces . we heard from finished journalist the youngest could come in who say that ukrainian authorities are violating their own countries constitution. first of all, abolishing the political opposition parties. now. oh, totally closing down the media's and haunting down people will beast otherwise than the official narrative agenda. this is terrible. ukraine doesn't exist, us goes to tional state anymore. what we have witnessed over the 2022 has been a lot of things to do with this claim. seeing operations oppression though, granted people to quiet down to keep their mouth shots. and though these bob lic ameliorating it putting people do to pose these are really great pictures. what we

are getting and receiving from crane and most terrible being is that they don't even trying to hide what they are doing. a german humanitarian aid group that's been providing food and other crucial supplies to don bos. residents over the past 8 years is now facing criminal charges over its support for the conflict written region r t spoke with the organizations leader in an exclusive interview. 9 mpeg off when i try to show our organization as being charged with article $140.00. this means justifying an aggressive will, which is absurd because we have been observing dissertation on the ground and dom bus for 18 years when we have witness with their own eyes. everything that happens there. we have been providing humanitarian assistance to dom boss for a very long time. therefore, we cannot to her to the slogan, solidarity with the grain. because of the fact that we do not proclaim solidarity

with the grain. we are facing charges under article 140 of the german criminal code previously before the conflict in ukraine broke out. the pressure was there too, but it was not in such an aggressive form. it was not criminal charges. the always stuck sticks in no real or bank accounts were blocked. so we could not transfer money to transport companies hard to deliver. humanitarian needs done by. we sent various requests to parliament. why a 1000000 years percent ukraine. but nothing was meant for and never reached the dome. we called in the german government to make efforts to stop the conflict in a dom back, but such behavior is not welcome in germany. now, there is no legal security in the country anymore. we are facing total low business . now there is no legal security in the country and the more we are facing law. i

mean, they're batting, you manage area need for using that symbols. this is a political decision and the government, me to, to ukrainian ambassadors wrote us asking us to stop borrowing military words against the german media and our activities. we are now portrayed a separative progression, which is not the case at all. however, we continue our work decides the bad media hate campaign all the struggle and chart despite the fact that our to video did not fall under the qualification of the article attributed. and the decision is exclusively politically motivated and illegal. and you know the story to tell you by today the indian military, how successfully test fired a new supersonic cruise missile, but it's an extended range and will dominate future bustle fields. the ur to surface missile was launched by a russian designed, su, 30 fighter jet. it hit

a targeted ship at a distance of 450 kilometers in the bay of bengal off india's eastern coast. the su 30 is a significant part of the indian military's ation fleets with around $200.00 currently in service, new delhi jointly manufacturers the aircraft with russia. well in recent weeks, and they are also successfully test fired a nuclear capable ballistic missile. we heard from a former indian ur force marshall who sees the modernization of the country's military is currently a top priority. best was combination of a series of developments over the last few years. let's the significant capability . most of that important they've been jointly developed by the the ideal and the supply is very

important platform in the bridge and in terms of operation and reviews of action ramos, give them a significant like any country has the modernization process is linked to the financial building but entry processes, but also in all time frame that tend to take very long time and certainly, lucian, nevertheless, the military and it, this one of the, obviously it's the, it's the leading military by the way to be. but because even you know the minute but a nuclear capable of india and you've never been and with the significant nuclear modernization that was taking place, there is no doubt that you will consider made them in

the us military sees american forces have conducted hundreds of operations against the islamic state, terror group this year, some 700 militants have been reported neutralized in syria and iraq. but washington remained silent by potential numbers of civilian casualties from those same operations. this mike, numerous eye witness reports of citizens being killed. ortiz kill my pen, picks up the story. the us central command is tutoring its own horn, boasting medic killed 686 suspected isis members. but one thing it doesn't mention is the possibility of civilian casualties resulting from its operations. let's review the battle that took place at the prison and al saca syria. mm hm.

i choose choose choose. what about the boys that were being held hostage? 2 of them were killed in battle, however, the face of hundreds of them remains unknown while the us central command glosses over this detail, human rights watch reports that a teenage inmate was killed by a us helicopter strike. that was shooting at all a cell block. i ran out with my friends hand on the way my friends got killed in front of me. 14 year old, a 15 year old. i got ange, it's in my had and my hand. i lost a lot of blood. there's

a lot of ins with people screaming from pain, a lot of bodies that bodies. this is not the 1st example of the u. s. military covering of casualties. it's a bit of a pattern. the new york times, guys hands on a number of reports through the freedom of information act and it went public with them. the reports show that flawed intelligence emphasized targeting and rushed operations resulted in the deaths of civilians over and over. this never bothered, the white house fighting even went on to falsely claim that there is no combat mission going on. the 1st time since $911.00, the american prisons visited his res, you without american troops being engaged in combat and a combat mission the region. but today, i'm proud rebel to say that the error of land wars in the region wars involving huge numbers of american forces is not underway. biden actually made this claim after he told the u. s. congress that troops were deployed in iraq, syria,

and yemen. u. s. troops were sent to somalia this year ramping up the drawn war against al. should bob with us central command saying that its operations against isis will continue in 2023? no way. would this ever even begin to account for the 10s of thousands of lives lost by u. s. military strikes? it's bombing missions. it's sanctions, which are sometimes the biggest killer. the, the refusal to allow material for reconstruction, for medical relief, for food. all of this, the u. s is guilty of and when they are forced by overwhelming publicity to give a limited amount of money to one families because the actual images were caught on video to the heart of the world, then they'll make a payoff. it doesn't mean that they have any interest, any possibility. oh,

reconstructing the lives that they have intentionally destroyed, or even keeping count of all those lives. as i say, they do not count civilians that they've killed him. all of these attacks the international criminal court in the hague as op, held a quarter of a century prison sentence for a former uganda and warlord. joseph coney was the leader of extremist religious group that called itself the lords resistance army on jews abducted child soldiers . he was implicated in atrocities that left an estimated 100000 people dead and drove millions from their homes. ah, one day at night my blood, my mother was setting that to we. we live home,

we go to bed. the friend all i knew was telling me that he saw somebody before luna always catching dad children. so at night the strip. okay. monkey diddo and they started to fade thoughts. we darrell, mad me and a young che lower c window nor anything but i was no doubt deceased a but people because those that had to pay that with natal. ah, of course you will not up anything, so no, no options. you have to follow dad or eve, you say to day you are going to move the notice. you have to move on being a young child. i don't know any data shows where these people are going. if you

said you wanted to race, you say ok if you want to read you i see. yeah. and it is what is eve? you said you wanted to rest? no one desk in ah, the effect of the conflict is too huge. so i little people within the community enough to family members. so many people lost their property. so there's a lot of resentment. newly reinstalled is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has vowed to mich settlement expansion in the west bank a top priority. forceful reaction from palestinians immediately followed those remarks. the state of palestine rejects then exceed dentist violent racist,

an assignment to ethnic cleansing, policy guidelines of israel's new government. this agenda isn't existential threat to the blessed indian people and they're ineligible and inviolable rights. israel set them and policies help being criticized by the u. n. special coordinator for the middle east peace process. who said they violated un resolutions and international law soon after new guidelines were published. some former is really diplomats wrote a letter to mister netanyahu, seeing the policies would damage. israel's global standing local residents are also concerned that mil her vehicle marvis extra. mr. government has every intention of conducting an escalation against the palestine and people and set its eyes on imposing his rally control over the west bank and the rights of his rather people through all the land. maybe i shop on the wall, diana, a little palestinians have tried these governments, but this is the most extreme and racist government ever. but in light of the

palestinian division, it doesn't look good for them. palestinian areas have been in flames this year. more than a 175 palestinians died in the west bank and 56 in gaza. danielman held the what these government seeks to take over the west bank increase the presence of his rail is hassle months. these here has been the bloodiest as many palestinians. voy, intentionally targeted and killed, which means israel wants to ethnically clans, the west bank, and clear all palestinians from it as a sat in the israeli media will defense policy unless the mirror and believes the policies of the new israeli government may lessen further the prospects of peace in the troubled 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 the time, you know, there was a period of the year and a half, not to with none of those governments has advanced the cause of peace. but these

incoming government threatens to set back the cause of the by expanding settlement by directing the by ability of the future policy. and even within israel, there are problems is really society. and therefore the government is seen by many israelis of these rarely population. and baby, legal, legitimate, a court in the west african nation of molly, how's imprisoned? a group of soldiers from neighboring ivory coast on anti government conspiracy charges. let's go through this ivory coast housman tain not those 46 winters. where to serve in a un peacekeeping mission. but molly said they were mercenary, seeking to over through the government. they were sentenced to 2 decades in prison . the economic community of west african states union,

which previously included molly, suspended the country because of a military coup. last year, it will impose restrictive measures unless the soldiers are a local reporter, told us 2 days of odious advocacy and contradictory debates. with trial of the 46 i voted military was not open to the public law with mrs. only law is were allowed. the main question was to know if they are meant to louise or not in by marco. the question has low reason to be asked. they just say, i wouldn't say that this trial will be able to do been actively solve the problem. this premise is stated by the malia government. the government has evidence to say that they are mercenaries, but in the document we received, it is specified that they are ivory and soldiers. but if family and government maintains its mercenary premise, they have their evidence. more here. i think it's the lexical. since the beginning,

we could imagine that it was politics. so it continues on the same path. we can only wish for a good outcome in any case, but the white goes, it looks like an arrangement met on december 22nd. the 4 in delegation left here and on december 29th, the trial began. so we can say it's like that because if it's expedited like that, we can imagine that it was a gentlemen's agreement that the verbage follow up around 2 p. m. local time. 20 years of criminal and presentment for before the c i would immediately in addition, they will say to me the on look on can i see air on $3200.00 that you can copy that and according to our so this is a part of women concluded, getting the president going out, we'll give it a shot. saturday evening. it probably fits every new year where he could get

a presidential auto group in what got to go. the topic is on the top meals, and people are curious to see what going to be the outcome of the story. and i like the molly injustice system wants to go the way it took up the case or this is a sensitive you have to know what really happened, what these people wanted before releasing them. i don't think it's an arrange trial . i don't think that the deal, i think it's more part of a separation of powers. the justice system will do is job to check whether the information primarily provided by the monumental 14th thing that they mercenaries is true or not. we have seen all the names that have been attributed to the mercenary soldiers. we saw abidjan table, the response that was given your. we saw that at the very beginning the matter was neglected. but we see with the information revealed by the monumental sovereignty that this is serious 40 my immediately is about to be beginning. there were

primarily 46 in the city. we live there group where free for human italian reason back case was in court room thursday. and friday, and there were same pin to definitely be in upsets. yeah. we then we will see what i do. okay. returning no to south asia, india has call for global assistance on crypto currency regulation saying a common approach is needed according to a financial stability report issued by the countries reserve bank o l d group to acid market. it remains volatile. they have not yet been any spillover under the civility of the formal financial system. the accumulated experience, however, suggests that they form an unstable ecosystem to address potential future financial stability risks and to protect consumers and investors. it is important to arrive at a common approach to crypto assets or crypto assets are indeed currently own regulated

in india. but new delhi has occurred the issue a focal point out that estimates their over 100000000 active users in the country. we heard from the deputy chief of a notable indian crypto currency platform, who said regulation could be beneficial to both the state and to users. the r b i has said is nothing. you know, every 6 months the, i'd be a, she was a similar statement than similar warning subaru on crypto things get interesting in 2023 because india has become the president of g 20. what that means is that up, you know, india against tier of global discussions at on crypto the indian prime minister b and more d as well as the frame at the finance minister. and then when i say that armand had been speaking about the need for a concert, a global effort to regulate crypto. so i think of that in 2023. you will see a lot more action on those lines. all of us know that could go cannot be banned by

that regulation is a step in that i did action because it was a framed for all stakeholders to abide by the cost of an authorities of free to young men who were previously detained for seeing the self declared republic is serbian sovereign territory. the release came upon insistence by the international community derby as president shirt residents concerns over pristine his actions. on this obscure article, the surgeon people are determined to no longer tolerate terror. and especially, i am afraid of the cause of all sure. it is almost to emerge. rinaldo mac, following weeks of heightened tensions, things do appear however, to be d escalating in the region with the roadblocks set up by ethnic serbs in kosovo, not being removed. despite that sir b as leader out in belgrade will no longer put off with the international community building military base is there that quote,

threaten or people are to contribute or nuclear you, which gave us some insight on the situation the hours of. ready serbian president woodridge, and his wife and a half hour long interview on television, where he explained the current situation regarding the possible or been foreign policy and other things that will be important in the upcoming days. first of all, he spoke about the barricades saying that he had a really tough time with the firms, trying to persuade him to take off the barricades in that he got the res, strict infirm guarantees from the international community. there is the western countries that come to, they are part of the deal regarding the arrest that serves the the plan, the rest and everything else signed in the brussels agreement in 2013. that comes as a bit of a shock since only 2 weeks ago, he spoke about the fact that on get american said that means agreements were only

a preparation for the war with russia, from, from the inside. and that means that the west can be trusted on similar agreements . and this was from course we took this very harshly and barbara them are afraid that now you know, we'll continue their procession of serbs and even today of course. so police forces were seen walking freely across, was committed, and other cities, which is a violation of the agreements itself. on the 1st day of the barricades were removed regarding the situation and russia. he said that to receive a new year's congratulations from fulton. and that, that message will be handled over to him by a russian ambassador in so be able to control court and also spoke about the ties to vmc wagner because spoke a lot of times about their presence on the barricades. and he said that they are not the president in serbia and there have nothing to do here. on the other hand,

he himself spoke about the agreements saying that she did not agree to form the sort of in municipality, because impossible or anything else. she just advised the 4 in the international forces. durham was american devices. they lived in south. so this kind of also as something that is rather expected and it is certain that the current current prices will not be solved by the sort of just a moment barricades simply because that, that situation because nothing is left for them bringing those americans hasn't been able to resolve so far. okay, almost time to check in with off shane again for the final going underground of the year. that's right ahead. then i'm back at the top with all your weekend news on dates. keep it here. are teaching of, ah,

[000:00:00;00] ah, mm hm. i'm african ritathui and welcome back to going under ground 2022 has been the had dominated by the brutal proxy war in ukraine and an entire geopolitical realignment, minimized, insensitive nato nation media and celebrated across the global south. the scale of the brutality may for now be lost in the midst of the fog of war, but we know, do know that billions of dollars worth of weapons are being poured into ukraine. both nato and russia emphasize the humanity of their actions. so how are ethics and the idea of humanity in war playing a part in modern conflict and are they, in fact capitalists? well, joining me now from yale university in new haven,
