broadcasting 247. this is our team international. i'm you know, leave with your news roundup on this. that's 1st monday of the year. we begin with the latest in the ukraine conflict. arrayed sirens are sending across a number of central and southern ukrainian regions, including the country's capital. according to local authorities. he abs mirror has confirmed one. civilian is injured after reported explosions. many regions in ukraine are old, so reporting power, difficulties jew to damaged infrastructure. while moving to done boss now and the loo ganske republic readily, 6 people were wounded a new year's day and a ukrainian attack on the central hospital interval. my, according to local officials, rough dozens of patients were evacuated while the latest report states there,

our fatalities authority say us supplied high marsh rockets were used in nuts drive on the russian brianne sc border region has been attacked by a ukrainian drone and according to the governor, no casualties are reported, however, one energy facility was damaged, and also in western. russia bought an edge at region, a ukrainian drones been shut down and thereby defenses. but no damage was reported in the instant. all these developments come after the russian defense ministry said it recently destroyed the number of ukrainian facilities involved in the production of drones. the m o t stated it was dawned to prevent. busy from carrying out, attacks on russian turtle in stoughton berg is a war criminal who should face 30 years behind bars. dots, according to jeff, yelled the u. s. democratic party candidate for governor in kentucky. speaking to r t, he slumped the nato leader for sending arms to ukraine,

whose justifying the move has an attempt to reach peace. it may sound like a paradox, but military support for ukraine is the fastest way to peace. if any arctic it makes no sense at all because in the fastest path to peace at this point, it would be for it for the west. for the united states, nato, the building to stop sending anything to ukraine. exception, humanitarian aid for the civilians who have been displaced not send any more weapons, any more money. 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 state, and so often berg was chosen in order to support us imperialism to the camera. so he's a war criminal to specifically in your grade. mr. young also raised the alarm of washington's te, russian and chinese policies could spiral into a world war he's previously called on the american military command center in africa to be abolished and us bases on the continent closed. the democrats criticize economic sanctions to saying they have blown back on his country. well, there's always a limit, one of the 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 in

canada crisis here in the united states. 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 and ukraine. jeff young speaking on the program earlier not later in the program, will bring you a thorough breakdown of the roots of the ukrainian chain of events that led to the start of russia's military operation. the west african

nation of been and saw 25 terror attacks by al qaeda and isis link javascript in 2022. no. that is a tenfold increase over the previous year. according to a conflict monitoring in geo, in the region. bannon had in the past enjoyed much commer times, found its neighbors to, to better economic conditions in the country. however, events in neighboring burkina, faso or french forces pulled back from an 8 year long security mission has led to a worsening situation over the border. we spoke to some locals in ben, a bites well they've been living through to like a debit. it is true that we live with fear in our guts, especially the people who live in the north part of our country. obviously it is because of the terrorists present in the region, even though the government doesn't always acknowledge them. people told,

can people know what's happening on their land, especially on the border with mccain a fast so were violent attacks are happening. so who, of course, everyone strives for peace. of course we know what's happening in the neighboring countries and even in our country, terrorists are here and they are growing in number. we cannot stay idle whenever you have a threat. people are not calm. of course, some countries in africa are getting more attention than others. is it because international plays have less interest in been aim? maybe it shouldn't be like this. we all should have the same amount of attention to help us fight terrorists with the 1st step is our government needs to united before asking for help. internationally. we need to unite internally in the fight. now in the year just gone, india made clear its interest in being a major stakeholder in a multiple a world. something we've been hearing increasingly about. new delhi officials repeatedly stressed out the south asian country will not be pressured by any state

. i bring to you the greeting, self 1300000000, plus people from the world's largest democracy. we don't need to be told what to do on democracy. we are resolved to make india. i've developed countries in the next 25 years. we will liberate ourselves from a colonial mindset externally. this means reformed multilateralism and more contempt at global governance. so somebody say that again, buying a rollover oil from russia. i said the europeans buy more than one optimal and then i do an appointment. i have a model due to my consumer, you know, will respond according to its supreme national interest. look, let me make it very clear. india will buy oil from where they would it has to, for the simple reason that this time of discussion cannot be taken to be consuming population of india. people need to understand if you can be considered to be

yourself, surely you can be consider it of other people. so if you're up says, look we have to manage it in a way in which it's impact on like on, on me, it's not traumatic. dr. freedom of choice should exist for other people as one countries in europe and the west and the united states. i focus on why don't they allow iranian oil to come into the market. why don't de la venzano oil to come into the market? i mean, they've squeezed every other source of oil we have and then say ok guys, you must not go into the market and get the best deal for your people. i don't think that's a very fair to approach. you could ask, why would anybody in asia trust europe on anything at all? europe has to grow out of the mindset that europe's problems are. there was problems, but there was problems. i'm not sure. last turned focus to sri lanka where my

protest grip the country in 2022 dissenting voices heard. there were largely in the government mismanagement and in particular a relentless drive towards the green policies. instead of prioritizing the country's economic security. r t. wynja and sharma was following events. 2022 has been a hero, stronger for sri lanka. the country faced its worse our economic crisis since it got independence in 1948. the economic crisis soon spiraled into a political and humanitarian one. in april, sri lanka defaulted on billions of dollars of external deb, leaving died a nation with no food, nor fuel and no medicines. at least half a 1000000 people fell into poverty. true long cuz economic collapse needs immediate global attention, not just from humanitarian agencies, but from international financial institutions. private landers and other countries

who must come to the country's aid. what followed was daily follow back out, wide spread protests on the streets. lindy fields, outside federal stations, and all of that lead to the for all of the long standing roger buckshot, government i in july, this is war tree longer look like government offices run or war. public broadcaster hijacked presidential dallas ransacked prime minister offers set ablaze. and president having to flood the country on ceremoniously a little port all based in south asia. i half covered numerous protests or what

a decade, but nothing compares to what she lank, our witness this year. but how to think or so bad. she long gone. biggest industry is a to resume and agriculture explored, say, a while. the corona virus bender make killed the tourism sector, a ban on chemical fertilizers into duels by the and then president with i b, a. roger buckshot damaged the agricultural sector. the import dependent country ran out of money. as in susanne completely depleted in november 2019 our foreign exchange reserves were at $7500000000.00. however, today it is a challenge for the treasury to find $1000000.00. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and faced the challenges of this period. i'll be back good by to 2022. the key was have gone away, but not the being. the supply is have someone priest on what the inflation remains

. the new government was hoping to get a $3000000000.00 bill out package from the i. m f. my december. but to secure that and had to re negotiate loans with its for lend does tighten budget spendings and booths revenues. what it looks like time is running out for sri lanka, and that it will miss the december deadline, which simply means more trouble for the island nation of $22000000.00 people, range and sharma, r t. and while aspirations of going green contributed to economic turmoil in sri lanka, the west is pressing all the trying to sell similar solutions to other countries. this year is un conference and climate change soft to push african countries away from traditional sources of energy in favor of so called environmentally friendly policies. despite the course of that for the continent and g, ioc, executive, chairman of the african energy chamber scenes, the west focus is hurting africa's potential with it. it is from western

countries, especially d. e. u is founded on just i'm not. ready right, thing to do with african country lecturing them about one thing. they're doing something. i mean, i don't know like african countries know that our resources are critical for our roles, or i'm sure lies ation or us having a just a transition for us to leave. all of them are people out of poverty, but also for us to be energy poverty. we realize that right now, at this time, we have no choice but to fail our right to use our resources. that includes our natural gas and cold, in some cases, to drive up for life station. we have 600000000 people in the continent without electricity,

900000000. without access to most of them. we cannot leave them behind our resources. i t. r, of least the people out of poverty, i'm sure enough industrialization and creating jobs, especially for young people and women in africa. so we have no choice but to defend . i'm getting bigger us. they are right to use our resources to south america. we're brazil, as an organ rated louis enough to sell that as president for the 3rd. who leads the country once more after a 12 year hiatus. let's come back, mark the return of the left to power in the ceremony on sunday, a valid to keep his campaign promises to defend the sovereignty, dignity and independence. personal mom was arrested in possession of an explosive device, a knife who had attempted to disrupt the alteration earlier we've spoken,

but i know altman, chief editor of online media are set up for a monday. the safe brazil is attempting to establish a multi homer. i believe that louis foreign policy will be active, no alignment, base it on brazilian, and latin american interests. it will try to avoid shocks that disrupt the brazilian thread balance or the flow of investments. but i think lola will try to be of institutions or to help to build institutions that end up burring. a uni paula. all the that existed after 99 to one with the collapse of the soviet union in this or dic. it will be more likely to approach china and russia pose tendency is to have the same over div to weaken the in purley system lab by denied state just ahead of your variation, lyla,

the silver met with the head of our russian delegation, who passed on a message directly from vladimir, the delegation chief disclose that preserves new president has been invited to moscow to strengthen bilateral ties. and stress of the 2 countries have a similar vision for moving away from a washington dominated unipolar world. here's pronouncement to friends among the greeks and between brazil and bruship, i think is to have a common economical plan and have and built an investment fund to develop in industries both in brazil and worship. president lola has this or issue very clear as it or the pipeline history united states. we alternate the relationship between bites and blows, i think,

to weaken the russian economy. for instance, they may boost the board of brazilian oil and make offers in the area of fertilizers, but always pressing for brazil to align itself against russia. but i'm very much now that lula, we are set this dresser. ok, no story to tell you. by ted day, israel has allegedly launched them. miss sile strike against syria hitting the damascus international airport report say to syrian service men at were killed on 2 more wounded. israel has yet to comment on the incident. local correspondent mohammed ali has more coating. good to an official military source in syria at about 2 am local time. there has been at an aggression on damascus international airport,

which showed that 2000 and military personnel and injured the 2 others according to the ministry of transport. but the damascus international airport to our service to however, only for a couple of hours perhaps about 6 hours later, the minister of transport announced that the airport had been reopened and called on at the syrian airlines to reschedule on older flights. normally. now this is not the 1st catastrophe, kind own international airport itself just last year. this happened and also called the airport to close. this is, of course, very important to say that the history of government has some tens of letters in the past years to be not admission security council with regards to such attacks. but so there is international silence over this violation by israel to serious poverty. and also attacks of course the airport is now reopened,

but the talk is definitely harming good civilian lives and endangering civilian lives. civilian air flies also many of the similar air strikes by as ro killed both military personnel and civilian throughout the unrest interior ah, no. the conflict in ukraine made up one of the top stories which dominated the news and global agenda in 2020 to ortiz roman costs. rev brings us extended reports. now examining the long chain of events leading up to the starts of russia's military operation. in february, a warning you may find some footage ahead disturbing. what's actually prom says europe's biggest armed conflict since world war 2 had dispute that has so for claimed the lives of thousands of peaceful civilians. washington and the collector west have been telling you for months about unprovoked russian aggression. however,

it only takes a small effort and minimal research skills to finds out that the current events have been years in the making. in 2014 the de nest and logan's people's republics declared independence following a u. s. supported government cooling ukraine. the u unelected ukrainian government's response was to begin a so called anti terrorist operation against the self proclaimed republics. keith's airstrikes artillery shilling and ground troops started a barbaric war against peaceful civilians in done boss who wanted nothing to do with a government that they did not see as representing them. ah ah!

shortly after the republics became a party to the minsk accords that outlines at peace roadmap as well as special status within the ukrainian states. most importantly, the agreement should have provided for a lasting ceasefire. it did not before civilians continue to suffer union plane. it wasn't today, ukraine can be happy and proud of its violence. it's civilized people who are engaging in such things with my mom was killed. my dad was really wounded. i sent him to the hospital with moscow, stood firm demanding key of fulfill obligations that it was breaking on

a regular basis by showing residential areas of the bus. but as it turns out, berlin and paris could not care less about their agreements or the lives of the people of dun boss. the chords were nothing but a stalling tactic that allowed the west to pump ukraine full of weapons. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time he crane. yes, this time to become strong. as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. 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 the pudding thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact an opportunity for the ukrainians. 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 try to train ukrainian forces alongside you, nato, who come to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato center. so wait, does this mean that this so called peace makers have been crying wolf all these years, while russia actually sought away for peace and for they done buff republics to remain a part of ukraine. take a listen and make up your own minds whether they were lying or telling the truth the i'm the i am i. when we had agreed that the men screaming us or what we need to achieve a peaceful solution, it's only 2. and therefore, we have to stick to that one last could. i should hear all courtroom. chancellor merkel meets with president putin joke. when i meet with the ukrainian president in his prime ministers, we have the same speed ocean, the respect of the minsk agreement, love if we say it with the same firmness to each party, would you? because it is the condition for peace. the condition for a settlement. what is your la given schumer? so it is fun of the only thing we agreed on today with mr. president, it is

a clear and streaked coordination of action on unconditional and rigorous following of all. without exceptions, will clauses of the means agreement. while the world was eating up all the speech saw the collective west was military, housing and pumping billions into ukraine. russian president vladimir putin has stated on multiple occasions that ukraine was preparing to solve the conflict in don bos by brutal force. he even provided intelligence and exact dates of anticipated, massive offensive. now that prompted russia, special military operation designed to cure the lives of peaceful civilians and demilitarize ukraine, who's you leaders, had gained a sense of invincibility. thanks to the multi 1000000000 flow of nato weapons and training way not to below much. it was negative, swore was not sorted by us. it was started in 2014, after the cool ukraine. it was launched by the ukranian authorities to suppress the will of the people in don fast, the guarantors, france,

and germany forgot that they are guarantors, they needed to return the situation to a legal process, to hold elections. and on last, this was not done. whenever i remind my colleagues about this on the phone, they say nothing about it as they have nothing to say there. just a month before the start of russia, special melissa reparation. washington sent over 200000 pounds of lethal aid and instructors to ukraine, while demanding moscow withdraw troops from russian territory its own territory along the border with ukraine. how the kremlin then demanded legally binding guarantees which would rule out nato's eventually eastward expansion. and hence, the deployment of offensive weapon systems in countries neighboring russia. why? well, because russia did not want a neighboring countries to service points of at sac against his own territory, but that was dismissed out of hand. together the united states and our nato allies

made clear, we will not slam the door shut on nato's open door policy. but for russia, this was a red line. that's a key security interests and the country sovereign right to defend were ignored just like 25 years ago when the west promised not to expand nato, even an inch to the east. we understand that not only the soviet union, but for other european countries as well, it is important to have guarantees that if the united states keeps its presence in germany within the framework of nato, not an inch of nato's present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction we will sink is over. we intend to discuss all these issues in detail at the leadership level. it goes without saying that the expansion of nato sphere is unacceptable. we agree with that. they have agreed, they said, what said, take a look at the map and ask yourself if those promises are now worth a nickel. nato has more than doubled in size. now back to the events of 2014 and

the so called my don protests and key of that resulted in a power grab that was fueled by nationalists extremists, the autonomous republic of tri. mia was the 1st to sever ties with ukraine, with locals voting overwhelmingly. in favor of independence and becoming a part of russia once again. ah ah, now that was a decision that many had to wait for, for decades after the entire peninsula was transferred to ukraine by the sub with government in 1954. while the people of crimea experienced a relatively smooth transition, the streets of other cities such as odessa had turned bloody as anti my don protests were violently suppressed. on may 2nd 201448 people burned to

death when they were trapped inside odessa. house of trade unions, which was set ablaze by pro key of radicals around 250 more were injured and clashes in the same area. so can you go from there? we're not just crashes in the city but arson and mass murder, so that ministers of building was set on fire. i knew people were walking around this building shouldn't at it with rifle. so 5th remote of cocktails and other explosive devices. roy foresman was tenant there and just watching they did not do anything. the question arises, why? because they didn't have orders to or because we received an order that they should not interfere almost 9 years later and still and no one has been held accountable for those atrocities. any scheduled court hearings were derailed by the so called patriots. the odessa tragedy became a point of no return that opened the door to an all out civil war. take

a look at the situation from russia's points of view if you can, and ask yourself the simple questions. could moscow lead the people of them both behind a population that has been suffering for nearly 9 years and continues to die under constant and indiscriminate artillery. shelling by ukraine to this day was the crumbling wrong, not to trust the west and made a hoop bumped billions of military aid into a key of over all these years. is russia wrong? when it says natal expansion is a direct security threats especially taken into account that washington has never hidden is 3 reasons united states age ukraine and her people so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here. so who really provoked the war and incited hatred among the people of ukraine? the answer is clear to the families of thousands of people here and on bus.
