[000:00:00;00] ah, the deadlines, anaki, international terror type on russia is ported on new year's eve. and that's what the countries ministry of defense does. ukrainian forces planning using drone before the rest of the military, neutralize the key weapons making factor. because we are going to talk 2023 now, but what will the new year bring in the program we tackled pressing social, political, and economic trends that will be defining the next few months. and we'll do here. bring a new world order. 2022 certainly. so practiced emerging in

a long standing uni polo system with new geo political alliances. coming to the fault the all right, running down the top stores for the hour and the headlines that shaped the weak. welcome to your stories or not. we just thought that our in don bass were a hospital in the new guns region was shelled on new year's eve. local official, sorry, the attack was carried out by ukrainian force is using american supplied high mars rockets following footages from the city of put a mice. you can see the extent of the damage accorded, right the cause to that building. we understand, according to authorities, 6 people were injured and still she has yet to comment. while meantime natalie crew did manage to get to the scene very quickly. she can show you a footage of damage done to the hospitals. interior also some patients still waiting to be exact. now along with the 6 people said who have been injured,

other sources are reporting a fatality as well. of all that we con, confirm. for now though, here is one hospital worker. and to tell us exactly what he thought happened there, i should warn you though you might find some of the following images disturbing. so she was about in the 1st rocky slope during an operation. we drank the patients who stomach was open out of the and sent them for further treatment. thank god, all the medical personnel survived in the operating room. there is the human body. when the rebel is cleared, it will be understood who that was. the hospital was struck 3 times. this suggests that they wanted to kill as many people as possible. we kill on the front and they kill here behind the front lines. unfortunately, i mean, while the rushes armed forces say they prevented a quote, terrorist attack on the country by ukraine's military, the russian ministry of defense states. it was planned for new year's eve, but was prevented by preemptive strikes on a facility making drones and launch sites. as more details come to us,

we will get them straight to you. now, across all 11 times owns from cleaning group to come shatka, people in the world's largest country, hit the streets to welcome. in the new year, the bigger celebrations were right here on the russian capital. despite many rounds of what were western sanctions, putting heavy economic pressure on the nation over the past year. russia had somehow been able to stabilize its economy. taking us through it now was all sees steve sweeney. we will seeing the sensation as headlines. moscow is ground to hold and completely shut down. life in russia will never be the same again, and the country has once more retreated behind the iron curtain wall. i'm here in the capital i with the opportunity to show you what life is really like here on the ground. and a spoiler is very different from the so called iron curtain portrayed in the western media. first of all, no,

we're not hit by some kind of social media blackout cut off from the outside world . a good vpn gets you everything you need. i'm even up to speed with the light is going on in our square of the february, the 24th. the news came flooding in about shots and businesses leaving the country in some kind of mass exodus. if you believe the headlines, there were no shops left in russia at all, but that's not quite true. many of those, the deadly did so at great cost, but more than $1000.00 foreign companies are still doing business have in russia. starbucks has simply re branded itself as stars, and mcdonalds has a new owner and a new name. but it's pretty much the same. i, we're still loving it. we spoke to people in the streets and asked them if they'd noticed any differences. now you can keep it in our main electron transit unknown waste and the horn. once we found a replacement for them, we started to support ration brands that maintain quality. coca cola double to las coca cola is gone, but we have

a replacement as in the local brand aubrey color school. a lot of beverages, good ones have appeared since coca cola left russia and i almost see no difference without mcdonald's either. i don't expect that brand to return, and i think the russian version, tasty, full stop is quite delicious. did you see that we managed to partially substitute for the brands that left for furniture, for example, ikea. we've replaced a portion of their products. it will be sydney to deny the impact to sanctions on the russian economy of core things on quite as i were the for the special minutes your ration. but at the same time is not quite as the west hope, i think ramped up the pressure. remember biden as a result of these unprecedented sanctions ruble almost immediately reduced to rubble. well, soon after the military operation began, the rubel did indeed tank 30 percent to the dollar hitting record lows. but the situation is stabilized. it's now $65.00 to $70.00 roubles to the us dollar,

meaning that russia's currency is now stronger than it was before the military operations began. in fact, according to bloomberg, the rubel is the best performing currency in the world this year. but now as the situation has stabilized, so has a west 3 alizay sion but it's over played hand. take the economists, for example, back in february, it was reporting doom and gloom that the collapse of the rouble was continuing and compounding the isolation of russia. yet just months later in august, it was asking the question, how does the ruble continue to defy expectations? well, maybe the answer is a simple one. perhaps so the expectation shouldn't have been lowered in the 1st place, but not to say that there's no awareness of what's going on in the conflict though . it's a topic that not just discussed 80, but also exist in the public survey. across the city you'll see billboards adorned

with the said logo posters like this one, declaring glory to russian heroes. different pictures, different faces of different photos of all run a q, r code. how to find out more information. was there a serious discussion about how best to support those on the front line? this new year will look different for many russians. a lot of towns and cities have scrapped by celebrations altogether. here in moscow, a compromise was, i city wide boat was held the outcome. well, a toned down celebration without firewood. the mer says good it important to keep those traditions, ally, to day when thousands of men husband's fathers and sons are fighting for the independence of our motherland. when blood is being shed, when hundreds of thousands of civilians are suffering, we also face a choice. in the name of the economy in the name of compassion,

to abandon these holidays or to spite the tragic circumstances to still remain human. people who adhered to their national traditions do not lose their spirit. they do not get discouraged. they believe in victory, not with tears, but with deeds. they support those who are on the front line to day. so yes, there have been some hiccups along the way. and for many, life will never be the same in russia again, bought rushes, total isolation on its collab, i predicted by the, with a seemingly file to materialize. nato chief un stolen book has once again called for mall weapons to be sent to key. if he says that strengthening ukraine's military would be, quote, the fastest way to peace. now nato's most dominant member state out of the united states as provided tens of billions of dollars and assistance for key f, despite some emerging opposition among various american politicians. one of them, kentucky governor, canada, jeffrey young,

a democrat believes at stoughton books should be sent to jail for complicity in mass killings. nato secretary general yen stilton burg is a mass murdering war criminal who should be in a prison in the hague, facing 30 years without parole. the u. s. is in trouble. one party is pro war imperialistic 100 percent corrupt far right wing and pro censorship. in stark contrast, the republican party is pro war imperialistic 100 percent corrupt far right wing women hating the abortion issue and pro censorship. so i time to learn more speak to the man himself crossing live now to jeffery young. a very warm welcome to you. so thank you so much for coming on the program here on the international. you do have some pretty strong words about the european military chief. i mean, is it accurate to say that you consider nato's yet installed him book to be a war criminal? i think it is accurate. i grew up in massachusetts

and went to mit for the undergraduate degree where i took a couple of classes with noam chomsky and that was back in 1976. and i learned at that time that every us president from 945 till the present day has been an aggressor and a war criminal. nato is now under the direction of the united states and assist oldenburg, was chosen in order to support us imperialism. he's a war criminal to, specifically in your grade. geoffrey what, what, what do you think though, of, of his, of the self bugs, opinion that sending more weapons to ukraine would be the path to peace. it's

eddie, artic. it makes no sense at all. the fastest has to appease at this point would be for the west united states, nato. to stop sending anything to ukraine, accept humanitarian aid for the civilians who have been displaced. not send any more weapons, any more money and simply allow russia to fulfill its objectives in their special military operation, which began on february 24th 2022. those objectives were and still are as far as i know, the militarization of ukrainian armed forces and

d knots if occasion of the country and making sure that ukraine never joined nato, which is a hostile military alliance against russia. well, i think i think that so those, those are words. well said mister jeffrey young, i wanted to ask you that. clearly you are a democrat. what do you think about your party's continued support for ukraine's military? i am saddened and disgusted by it. i think it demonstrates the power of america and mainstream media corporations. this propaganda since february of 2022 until today is the worst pro war propaganda i've ever experienced in my whole life. i'm 66 years old. so i think that my tardy democratic party and the republican

party are all victims of systematic anti russian propaganda over a period of decades. and i blame mainly that propaganda for the way that my party members in washington vote for continued noah cherry assistance to the public government in ukraine. jeffrey, what, what, what do you think about a allegations from russian officials that ukraine is being used as a, as a proxy staging ground by nato powers to, to engage in a war with russia? is it a proxy? what do you think? yes, i think that's completely accurate that accusation and to verify that simply look at the statements made by us government officials over the years saying that, you know, our main objective must be too weak in russia. we can marry economy creat

regime change in moscow. so it's, it's quite open, it's not even a secret in the welsh that those have been the goals for many, many years. and what's happening is that united states did not expect the kind of military action that has occurred. united states is over confident and thought that it's still the biggest power in the world that's no longer the case. it's a multi polar world now. and russia is one of those powers that has stood in the way of western imperialism in eastern europe. there are there, you know, going back over the years and with you being a politician, jeffrey, i mean, i know you've heard it going back to nixon and beyond. and then up to j. f. k clinton bushes you will hurt them. talk about the new world order. they mentioned

it a number of speeches over the years. and some, some people say that there are countries in the world in recent years that have said no to the new world order. i'm perhaps because of that. they quickly became persona non grata. but you're right, mr. young we are seeing these new i guess a geo political alliance is coming to the for in the both of this new multi polar world when it comes to the ongoing conflict and ukraine. mr. young, how long do you think us will continue to support your credibility? could there be a limit for all this funding? while there's always a limit, one, a value of the dollar cred crash, and we wouldn't be able to afford to send any more weapons or money to ukraine, because we would be an academic crisis here in the united states. that could happen . russia could win, which could happen within

a few months or within, you know, within the next year by, by the end of 2023. russia could be militarily successful. at limit the limit is in the real world, the limit is not in the realm of media and propaganda. jeffery young, a democratic party candidate for governor of can talkie a very enlightening conversation with you today. thank you so much for your time. thank you. thank you. by to brazil, malware police detained demand, armed an explosive device and a knife apparently tried to interrupt the integration of president elect, lula de silver and the country's capital brazilian. also just ahead of the variation that louis to phil's, i met with the head of a russian delegation who passed them a message directly from president food. and the russian delegation chief disclose that luther to silver has been invited to moscow to work on strengthening bilateral

side. she also said the 2 countries have a similar vision for an emerging multi polar was was she was there store, it is very important that russian brazil have the same vision of the future of the world. a fair and multiple are world. we have ample opportunities for cooperation within the u. n. and other international platforms. so it's, it's all of a multi polar well challenging the traditional dominance of the west has become ever more apparent, particularly over the past 12 months and use rolled in essentially every month showing the balance of power shifting and a new shad world order on the rise when the next level before our very eyes, the world is changing and really becoming multi polar. however, some countries are trying to preserve their teetering gemini, at any cost using a wide range of political, military, economic, informational,

and other methods and means. since the end of the 2nd world war, it felt like the world was ruled by a very few power, seemed concentrated in the hands of the global north and represented by the g 7 group of economies, all singing to the same west than him. but this year and you, horace is rising, the biggest new block is coming up and with a tidal wave. this is briggs 25 percent of the world's d, d p. that the court of the was gross domestic product and 40 percent of its population. when measured in land was, it is a quarter of the world, this is what you and i, and the rest of us have been waiting for. a multi polar world is rising. and along with it many more keen to join in africa's biggest country by land mars and the

continents biggest guess export algeria once in iran is also key and it was right here in south africa that president settled on the plaza, told us about saudi arabia's interest as well, egypt and turkey allured and pondering why it's the spirit driven in co operation and inclusiveness heightened in trade, finance, supply chain and smuggling fracturing here no one is more over another with in the group. and there's no meddling in each other's business or dictating how they should handle their own, a face each with equitable global governance. radio, not a new world is coming to san antonio. t was the is the word that he dollarization went a bit of ira, just as the geopolitical ask about changing with new regional powers. emerging. the

global financial system is getting a bit of a make over to, for example, major his painful rush energies of with national current. this even 50 to 50 splits between rouble and new rent. and if the plans of shanghai corporation of an invasion come to life will only see they strand accelerate with alternative payments. this and also on the horizon, the reliance on the dollar as the instrument supporting the will determine middle of these not so very promising for him to speak. and that is not somebody used to them that more and more countries are shifting through or using co alto in the differences shifting through use national currency more and more and then the lease process. so we will be, will be gaining momentum. we have see how washington says to hundreds of billions of dollars of fresh assets. we know promised that they'll be returned. i am of the

day to show their trenice un. i counted for almost 3 percent to the highest level since the data began in 2016 at the same time, the dollars share job to, to below 59 percent to the lowest level in 25 years. but 2022 saw the momentum growth tours break is dominance and aids are freeing a new fear or daughter when the conflict in ukraine started, western leaders said that anyone who doesn't sign up for their sanctions will be on the wrong side of the history, india not big sky than 5 index position has been cleared the position of neutrality . after all mall school been an old friend to new delhi and also an old trading partner. so what india did instead was started building new banking channels to be able to treat with more school in ruby's india as appetite for russian crew also

increased from mainly around one percent imports in february to almost 22 percent now, which is nearly 1000000 barrels of crude di now in the ongoing geopolitical shift as far as india is concerned, its view or more school is not defined by how western countries see it. we have to be confident about who we are. i think it's better to engage in the world on the pool we rather than try and pleased the wonders of be limitation of what this idea does. the final got you know, somewhere and we need to get the approval of the waters. i think that's it. all we need to put behind in the us foreign policy has been very, very clear that is to promote its own interests 1st. so despite western pressures and more of judgments,

india has been very clear that it's not going to be dictated by anyone. so as 2023 gets under way, people around the world, of course, are hoping for a more positive year. ahead follow the previous 12 months of mass protests, military conflicts of covey and what lead deepening economic crisis. my colleague nikki aaron discussed the prospects for the new year with a number of guests. just when i think i have figured that the human race is somehow exhausted, every possible means of destroying itself or its culture already and or its saturday. i'm disappointed because there's a new way, i think things are going to be much worse. and, but the only thing that will help most people is the diluted effect of the social media platforms which allow people to recess and to revert from reality can go into la la land and take pictures of their food. while society collapses famous, the astrologer nostradamus, he made many interesting and unusual prophecies, as we know, he said,

to predict the 3rd world war being on the horizon next year. what's your take on that and doesn't look like tensions between some of the worlds and major powers are reaching that critical points. i say the possibility of potentially for a forefront war facing the united states, especially because it's out there with it's a gemini stirring all of this up has created the mess and in 2022 and i think it's, it, it just doesn't know how to help itself, and it's going to continue on that path and it's going to create even greater tension. so in 2023 and we got to be watchful and any think and there can be something out of nowhere that could absolutely cause a, a catastrophic event. and a cascading event that could lead to, to this war front war that i just mentioned. they stem from the middle east to the,

to, in, to in the pacific to, of course, europe, europe could see in a 2nd war next year. and that what is that war? that is basically co, kosovo. serbia was announcement recently, for example, that like b b bank, one of russia's largest banks as company developed a new pilot gateway that goes between russia and iran and allow people to lose money more or less instantly between the 2 countries. so that's where we're moving . the dominance of the financial system, which at the moment is controlled by a private company called swift, which is basically how most of us move our money to and fro around the world. now that's gone. now we've seen that gone. we're going to see, i think, a whole bunch of new and exciting companies from china, russia, india, iran, all of these as everyone was saying, or the new company, these new companies that will be in this new multi poder, while we'll start developing really exciting painted technology that we've really

been stopped for in the financial industry to generations now. new year celebrations in france to send it into violence overnight with police reporting throughout the country. more than 600 cars were burned and some 400 people detained . following images from the outskirts of the french capital, showing firefighters working at the scene of a riot. while authorities in the western city of north reported the police cars were targeted with molotov cocktails, specified, however, the few vehicles were destroyed in comparison with the same time. last year we understand more than 800 cars are reportedly boned house 12 months ago. so 2022, so no end of instability on the energy markets with commodity prices just all over the place. a western sanctions on our russian energy led to spikes and fluctuations . and the sector is expected to get even a rougher this year because of an e u. n. g 7 price cap on russian oil almost is it simply won't play by the western

rules. i will ban exports to any country flirting with the price cap idea. 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. things are really not looking very good here in france right now. and moscow's response to the g 7 and european union's price cap on russian oil that is to ban deliveries, to countries that abide by the cap. does even kick in until february 1st and the useful embargo on russian oil also hasn't been fully felt yet, because there's also a grace period there until january. so ships don't get caught out at sea, but already there are some signs of trouble here. hey, you know the fairy tale of cinderella, where she had to be home by midnight, or else her magic carriage turned back into a punkin? well, french drivers have until midnight on december 31st before their own pars risk getting

bricked turning into pumpkins because of sticker shock at the pump. because the discount that a live driver's here in france weren't even aware that the government had built into the price of fuel for the past few months to help offset the rising cost of energy is coming to a crashing halt. at that point, the prices are set to go up by $10.00 to $0.20 per liter for everyone, except about $10000000.00 french citizens who will qualify for the help that's replacing it. in the case of workers who make less than $14700.00 euros per year, who will need to fill out a government form to get on all whopping $100.00 euros to cover the entire year of energy price hikes for 2023. meanwhile, french factories are already planning to ring in the new year by not reopening after the holiday. citing skyrocketing production costs, one manager of the company that produces isolation material,

told the french press that he seen. i 100 percent increase in material costs and 500 to 700 percent spikes in energy prices. oh and at this, the french energy transition minister. i guess penny a really nice shape. tweeted on tuesday that if you heat your home with wood in france, the government will now offer you assistance of between 50 and 200 euros. the state acts against rising prices from this tuesday, december 27th. if you want timber to help you warm up, you can benefit from assistance ranging from 50 to 200 heroes. it was just so surreal. this tweet that you think you're looking at, a parody account, but nope, and apparently the energy transition minister, i guess, is going to help france transition straight back to the cave mandate. hey, maybe the government can toss in a freed bag of marshmallows so that at least french citizens can all feel like they're having fun. camping out at home rather than huddling around the fire. like they're back in the stone age. maybe we can even like, since production is troublesome right now,

because that embry pioneer we can like start bashing i rocks in the fire to hobbled that it's hard to believe that this is supposed to be one of the world's most developed countries, which at one point prided itself on its nuclear energy independence before we get to this been the perception that when russia is being sanctioned lift, right. and so i'm not able to respond. so this, the service folks are from the russian president from the russian federation. douglas said that her quote straight does not going to come in here and play your games as if now the oil and gas or the energy has control and went in washington. especially the european countries have the ones that i have to suffer from dis decreased by the ones that are really stating to russia. i do to give you after them, but much it's only the western countries that are more of i'm to that. i sure. yes, it would benefit from the resistance of russia that are going to suffer. doria
