i really am going to desist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with a critical piece deal assigned bali ukraine. 7 years ago was actually used to give key of more time to prepare for war. the confession made by former french president francois alone, who help broker the deal with india's military, successfully test fires, an upgraded version of its newest supersonic cruise miss style, which new delhi say will ensure dominance on future policy with some palestinian authorities lash out set while they describe as israel's ethnic cleansing policy of expanding settlements

with one in the afternoon this sunday december, the 31st and most gl i'm you know, neil, this is our t international. we will get to those headlines to recent just a moment, but news coming to us on the program, former pope benedict. the 16th has died at the age of $95.00. he held the at roll of pontiff from 2005 to 2013 before unexpectedly announcing his decision to abdicate. at the rule of the apostolic at sea, the 1st time in 602 years that the pope had resigned from the post. he was also the 1st at german pope in almost 1000 years at to tick the seat, his prolific writing offended traditional catholic doctrine and values. he spent

his final years within the fabric and was the murderer ac unless i monastery. so that news just coming into us from the vatican, the former pope benedict the 16th has died also just a new pope frances had off followers to pray for benedict during his last public address which occurred on wednesday now another former european leader, france for. busy alone has confirmed momentous peace agreement designed to end the conflict. and don bass, 7 years ago, was actually used to 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 i

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 not confirmed all teary or purpose of their past intentions . the deal approved by the un security council back in 2015 was presented by the european leaders as the only option for sustaining peace and stability in ukraine. now, apart from mr. alon former german chancellor merkel, next ukrainian president position co have admitted that the deal was actually meant from the very beginning to buy time for a key to strengthen its military. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time ukraine. yes, this time to become stronger as you can see to day. the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of to day. i needed the minsk agreements 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. i know where it is out and pride. and despite those recent confessions, e u. powers and ukraine have previously accuse russia violating the minsk agreements. we heard from the founder of the news side, don bass, insider, who sees brussels, has now lost any legitimacy remaining for brokering peace between russia and ukraine. that he may quicken said hat with woo, we won't, we will discuss with people worried july. so obviously woo signed a paper and a few years after said, oh, we just misled you, we did, she did it and we lied to you. but you can discuss with these kind of people, you cannot sign any agreement with their so so. so the credibility of the european

union is now completely destroyed and, and so they have no legitimacy to, to, to talk about in peace talks, or any peace proposal. or, i mean, because russia will, of course, not saying any paper with them, because now the russian authorities are going to death. any paper signed with the wister leaders as absolutely no. are you? absolutely not. now on the eve of 2023 russian defense minister sergei is showing go, has been remembering the country's fallen serviceman and wish those who served in the armed forces the best in the near michigan. william for me, we will always remember our comrades who sacrificed themselves and combat missions in the name of saving civilians from genocide and violence only for the right to speak. russian. the memory of them will live in the hearts of the russian people forever. our victory, like to new year is inevitable. been wealth,

more attacks and efforts to route the political opposition. those are among the new years resolutions presented by the head of the national security service. with silly mal, you said in a recent interview, that the main goal would be to cleanse any support for russia within ukraine. i can predict 3 things in the common year. more bless 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. while you know, kiev is already engaged in trying to eliminate the use of the russian language in the former soviet republic as well as route i. cultural religious sporting times, including by seizing property from the orthodox church. there are also reports of ukrainian troops committing atrocities against residents, sympathetic to russia in areas that keeps military has recently taken from regional

forces. we heard from finish journalist youngest but common who sees not 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 beeble will being otherwise than the official narrative agenda. this is terrible. but crane doesn't exist as goes through tional state anymore. what we witnessed, or the 2022 has been well other things to do with these cleansing operations. oh, fresh ink, though grainy, had people to quiet down to keep their mouth shots. and though these volcanic, when relating to 2 people due to pose, these are really great features. what we are getting and receiving from crane and

most terrible being is that they don't be with trying to hide what they are doing. a german humanitarian aid group that's been providing food and other crucial supplies to don bounce residents over the past 8 years is not 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 fool, which is absurd because we have been observing dissertation on the ground and dom bus for 80 years. we have witnessed with their own eyes, everything that happens there. we have been providing humanitarian assistance to don us 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 concept 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 stock 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 present to 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 dumbass, but such behavior is not welcome in germany. now, there is no legal security in the country anymore. we are facing total low looseness. now there is no legal security in the country anymore. we are facing law listeners. i mean, there are batting humanitarian aid for using the set symbols. this is a political decision and the government needed to ukrainian ambassadors wrote us

asking us to stop borrowing military words. the german media attacked our activities. we are now portrayed a separatist on progression, which is not the case at all. however, we continue our work despite the bad and media hate campaign. all the struggle and charges despite the fact that are activities did not fall under the qualification of the article attributed time. and the decision is exclusively politically motivated and illegal. i guess something else to tell you about today, the indian military has successfully test fired a new supersonic cruise missile that it has an extended range and will dominate future battlefield. the are to surface missile was launched by a russian designed, su, 30 fighter jet. it had a targeted ship at a distance of 450 kilometers in the bay had been gall off india's eastern

coast. the su 30 is a significant part of the indian military deviation fleet with around $200.00 currently in service, new delhi, jointly manufacturers. the aircraft with russia, but in recent weeks, india also successfully test fired a nuclear capable ballistic missile. we heard from a retired indian or a force marshall, who saves the modernization of the country's military, is currently a top priority. best was a combination of se, developments over the last few years. let's the significant capability, the memos of that important johnson developed by the get the ideal and the supply in the end of the platform in the bridge. and in terms of operational revenues of action. ramos gives

a significant neutrality like any country has the modernization process is linked to the financial but the 3 processes, but also in all the time frame that tend to take a long time. and certainly, lucian, nevertheless, the military, but it will respond and it this one of the, obviously it's the, it's the leading military by the way to be. but even, you know, the minute, but a nuclear capable of india never been paid. and with the significant nuclear modernization that it's taking place, no doubt that you will consider the military and keeping attention with india. it's called for global assistance on crypto currency regulations, seeing a common approach is needed. that's according to financial stability report issued

by the countries reserve bike over the group to acid market. it remains volatile. they have not yet been any spill over onto this ability 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 acids or crypto assets are currently unregulated in india . but new delhi has declared the issue of focal point. now said estimates there are over 100000000 active users in the country. we heard from the deputy chief of a notable indian crypto currency platform, who says regulation could be beneficial to both the state and users. the r b i has said is nothing. you know, every 6 months the, i'd be a shoes, a similar statement and similar warnings about on crypto things get interesting in 2023 because india has become the president of g 20. what that means is that

you know, india against your viewable discussions. i don't crypto the indian prime minister b m, or d, as well as the frame at the finance minister there. but i see that i'm and have been speaking about the need for a concert, a global effort to regulate cocoa. so i think that in 2023 you will see a lot more action on those lines. so all of us know that could still cannot be banned by the regulation is a step in that i did action because it was a frame for all stakeholders to abide by. newly reinstalled is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has vowed to make settlement expansion in the west bank, a top priority. forceful reaction from palestinians immediately followed those remarks. the state of palestine rejects then expansionist violent, racist, and incitement to ethnic cleansing, policy guidelines of israel's new government. this agenda is an existential threat

to the blessed indian people and their ineligible and inviolable rights. israel's settlement policies have been criticized by the u. n. special coordinator for the middle east peace process, who said they violate un resolutions and international law. after new guidelines were publish some former is really diplomat wrote a letter to mister netanyahu saying the policies would damage israel's global standing local residence. they are concerned to double her vehicle miles east extremist government has every intention of conducting an escalation against the palestinian people and set its eyes on him pause and his ruddy control over the west bank and the rights of his rather people through all the lands. maybe our shop, we are the world, the i'm a little hello cindy and i 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 couple of these

government seeks to take over the west bank increase the presence of israel is cattle months. this year 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 is sad in these rail. the media will defense policy analyst, the amir, or, and believe the policies all the new is really government may lessen further the prospects of 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 the time, you know, there was a period of the year and a half, not to 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 for the government is seen by many israelis of these rarely population and baby legal, legitimate. a court in the west african nation of molly house in present, a group of soldiers from neighboring ivory coast on antique government conspiracy. charge is ivory coast, has been taken that those $46.00 soldiers were to serve in a un peacekeeping mission. but molly said there were mercy 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, but suspended the country because of a military coup there last year. a said it will impose restrictive measures on less . the soldiers are from a local reporter, told us 2 days of odd years,

advocacy and contradictory debates with trial or before the 6 i voted military was not open to the public. no witnesses only allow is where allowed. the main question was to know if they are meant to louise are not in by marco. the question has low reason to be asked. they just it, i wouldn't say that this trial will be able to definitively solve the problem. premise is dated by the molly and government. the government has evidence to say that they are mercenary. within the documents we received, it is specified, but they are bori and soldiers. somali and government maintains its mercenary premise. they have their evidence no more here. i think it's political 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 way it looks like an arrangement met. on december 22nd,

the organ 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 gentleman's agreement verbiage to follow up on to p. m. local time, 20 years of criminal and presentment for before the c i would immediately. in addition, they will say to me on look on, can i see air on 3200000 very thank you. still copy that. and according to our sophie, this is a part of what he meant concluded, getting the president going out. we'll give it a shot. saturday evening. it probably fits every new year where he called the presidential group in what got to go. the topic is all the top meals. and people are curious to see what going to be the outcome of the story. i like the

molly injustice system, wants to go the way it took up the case. this is a sensitive you have to know what really happened, what nice people wanting before releasing that. i don't think it's an arrange trial . i don't think that the deal, and i think it's more part of the separation of powers on the justice system, will do its job to check whether the information primarily provided by the monumental storage. anything that mercenary is true or not, we have seen the names that happening attribute to mercenary soldier's soul. and the john table, the response was given your we saw that at the very beginning the matter was neglected. we see with the information revealed by the monumental tolerance, this is serious 40. my military is out of the beginning. there were finally 46 in the city. we live of a group where free for human italian reason back case was in court room thursday and friday,

and there were sent him to definitely be in upstate with then we will see what had to go on. the international criminal court in the hague has upheld at 25 year prison sentence for a former ugandan warlord joseph coney was the leader of an extremely religious group called the lords resistance army or l. r a which used 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 money wasn't setting that to we. we live home. we go to a friend. all i knew was telling me that he saw somebody before noon. they're

always catching dad children. so at night this report came and kicked the door and they started to faith that we, darrell, my mean a young child. i was even don't know anything from but i was know that the si se, but people because those that they to paid at with natal. ah of course you will not up anything. so no, no options. you have to follow their doors. if you say to day, you are going to move, notice you have to move on being a young child. i don't know any day that shows 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 you. ah, the impact of the conflict is too huge. so a lot of people within the community, enough to family members, it's so many people lost their property. so there's a lot of resentment. no, the u. s. know a tree sees american forces have conducted hundreds of operations against the law makes the terror group this year. some 700 militants have been reported neutralized in syria underwrite. but washington remains silence about potential numbers of civilian casualties from those operations. despite numerous eye witness reports of citizens being killed,

ortiz kill up and picks up the story for us. the us central command is tooting 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 soccer, syria. me i use use

use. 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 injured in my had and my hand. i lost a lot of blood. there's a lot of injured 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 got its hands on a number of reports through the freedom of information act and it went public with them. the reports showed flawed. intelligence emphasized targeting and rushed operations resulted in the death 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 true screen engaged in combat a combat mission in the region. but today, i'm proud rebel say that the earth 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 embalming missions. it's sanctions which are sometimes the biggest killer. the, the refusal to allow material for reconstruction, for medical when the 1st tune. wall of the c u. s. is guilty of and when they are forced by overwhelming publicity to give a limited amount of money to one fan links because the actual images were caught on video to the heart of the world, then they'll make a pain or it doesn't mean that they have any interest, any possibility of a we constructing 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 cause of an authorities have freed 2 young men who are previously detained for saying this self declared republic is serbian sovereign territory. the release came

upon insistence by the international community. while serbia's president church residents concerns and stated what belgrade is seeking olive skin are totally cord mottram, the serbian people are determined not to allow terror upon them. i'm fed up with and proud of a normal and decent serbia, a survey of peace that wants to preserve itself just following weeks of heightened tensions, things appeared to be d escalating in the region with the road block set off by ethnic serbs in kosovo. now being removed, serbia's leader recently, abe's however, that belgrade will no longer put up with the international community building military base is there that quote, threatened, or people are taken to be there. nicholas you, which gave us some insight on the situation the hours of. ready serbian president vintage and his wife and a half hour long interview on serbian television where he explained the concentration regarding the possible serbian port, foreign policy and other things that will be important in the upcoming days. first

of all, he spoke about the barricade 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. that is, the western countries that come to, they are part of the deal regarding the arrest and served 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 i'm going to merkel 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 is from crossing out to these very harshly and barbara them are afraid that now push the know will continue their appreciation of serbs and even today

also, police forces were seen walking freely across was committed to another series, which is a violation of the agreements itself. on the 1st day of the barricades were removed regarding the situation in russia. he said that he received a new year's resolutions from brooklyn, and that that message will be handled over to him by a russian ambassador in so be able to call and also spoke about the ties to vmc wagner. because of spoke a lot of times about their balance on the barricades and he said that they are not the president of serbia and there have nothing to do here. on the other hand, he himself spoke about the agreements saying that he did not agree to form the sort of the municipality was impossible or anything else. he just advised the kid for an international forces to remove the barricade divided.
