i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything. absolutely. ah, with your top headlines right now, what are you international scores of russian soldiers are killed in bond boss in a recent attack by ukrainian forces using american supplied high mileage rockets. the deadline, news was confirmed by russia's ministry of defense. this monday the m 23 militant group may soon leave several key areas of the democratic republic of the congo may be on thursday. it comes off the months of violence against the locals. there was no keeping up in our village before it sees the m 23 war starts. it is become a frequent problem. a women raped in children killed in mass. it's

a situation that terrifies us. looking back at 2028 who sold a french military leave, the vast hello region in africa are off to 8 years and see she hottest operation ultimately, a failure in the program. we also recourse for lancaster mass protests last year, and it worked economic crisis since getting independence. largely, it was exacerbated by western sanctions on russian energy from a reporting from all around the world from moscow and questioning the mainstream narratives. it's great to have your company for this program on out to you international. the russian ministry of defense has confirmed that 63 russian soldiers were killed in a recent rocket strike by the ukrainian military in advance republic. they used american supplied high mass rockets as far as we understand the attack happened on

new year's eve, more details now here's our corresponded, eager to start off. scores dozens over what is believed to be russian fresh recruits have perished in this artillery attack, launched by the ukrainian forces over the new year's night. apparently under it was targeting the quarters over these people just outside the city of the nets. in the small town of my cave could basically it is believed that all those russian soldiers, they were stationed at what used to be a vacation. oh college, it's building. so they were, this was their quarters. and this is where at least for high mars rockets, according to the russian defense ministry. this is what they had to hi mazda projectiles were intercepted according to the russian defense ministry. now this confirmation has come tucked at the very bottom of monday's media release by the defense ministry in which they have also listed all the targets that the russians

that the russian army managed to hit lately. for instance, they talked how several artillery strikes across the front managed to kill some 74 in the mercenaries, foreign mercenaries that have been doing the bidding of the ukrainian side that have been worrying on the side of k of the so called foreign legion. now also, but the incident in my cave ca, for example, it has caused an uproar among the experts among the military experts here in russia . they've been asking questions as to how come so many people were stationed at a feeble or soviet era building. why weren't there quarters located in the basements and the under ground, and there have been repeated calls for a serious investigation of this so far, the russian defense ministry has already promised to provide all help it can to the families of those soldiers who have been killed or, well wounded as a result of this high mas strike. meantime, russian authority say to drones,

have been shot down over the crime. me in the city of steph estoppel, harris and the latest images we have from the ground. clearly as nighttime, it's tough to make them out, but as we understand, no reports of any damage or casualties, now, it will come as, as russia intercepted, another ukranian draw near the as of the coastal city of bernard johnson was earlier on monday this unverified for teachers to believe, to show the work of local ad defense systems. the ukrainian army has also shelled at 2 villages in russia's belgrade region, according to the local governor who says houses, cars and local cemetery was damaged. and another ukrainian drug talk occurred in the bronze creek and in the past 24 hours, we understand a one energy facility was damaged while in western russia for anya region, ukrainian drone was reported shot down by ad defenses. and all these developments came off of the russian defense ministry said it recently destroyed a number of ukrainian facilities that make unmanned aerial vehicles. the defense

ministry said the strikes against those facilities were conducted to prevent kia from carrying out attacks on the russian territory. while after months of violence, the m 23 middleton group may withdraw from several settlements in the democratic republic of congo, perhaps on thursday that is, according to the east african community organization. now m 23 is allegedly supported by the d. r. c neighbor wanda. something it refutes, but the e u foreign policy chief isn't buying it. the you firmly urges one to 2 stops supporting the m 23 and use old means to press the m 23 to comply with the decisions taken by the e a. c. it's also firmly urges all states of the region to prevent the provision of any supports you am groups active in the d i. c. outcomes as tensions escalate. again with rewan bear accusing the d r. c of violating its air space for a 2nd time in 2 months, offer a military plan reportedly trespass for wandering territory on wednesday. kinshasa

had early denied it was an incursion calling the incident, the an unfortunate mistake. now the democratic republic of congo backed by the e you insist that were wanda, is supporting the m 23 militia groups. those allegations, again have been denied by k garley. according to a un report, due to m 20 three's activities and fighting within the d asi, tens of thousands of people have been displaced in an attempt to deescalate tensions during the autumn. the east africa regional 4th deployed canyon troops. there is peacekeepers. local, some of whom i spoke to us on the promise of anonymity. they say the atrocities of actually intensified wire security deck would have no security on the people. our software launched the have no access to food on the rebel solution, everything in the field, and there was no kit, not been in our village before, but sees the m 23 war starts. it is become a frequent problem with many people have disappeared and some have been shot that

others have been taken away to a known location. there are, can many people have died wise, both man and women and their bodies have been found in various places and was unequal. what might happen, women raped to children, killed in mass. i'm the situation that terrifies us because we're afraid the witness terrorists are doing in read sure. could happen in the city of go, monica, only 7 people taken hostage. you do not want to be ruled by am 23. we've asked our authorities now address the situation. we just, we fear the worst. he has terrestrial respect, human rights, and it's shameful to see all these organizations yet that are supposed to protect human rights. sitting on their hands in the face of such suffering, he began them bow. how a bendy 2022 saw the end of an 8 year french military operation in the uranium rich west african sa hell region. at the operation bought a cane, left thousands of civilians dead and many others displaced. so now straight to johannesburg, all his catabolic cattle with more troubling details. hi,

this is may try the former colonial power in africa. france is fast using influence on the ground and in the continent. this wave, if attempt to keep the power poster phrase president the manual micron and i was in you africa strategy to be launched in 6 months. this is his government's response. as franz pulled out of the fire, read it. the strategy is big one. ambition, but little on detail. france remains resolutely committed to the security of the continent, acton, and support. and that the request of all african partners is france really winning? or is it playing out like the 2020 to cut our welcome final, the former colonizer claims. it remains committed to security in the region with a street faith, paris fez. this as is until 3rd and mission operation bar card came to any glorious

end in the field of perception. birkin continues to occupy a very important presence of social networks. it is necessary to put a clear end to it in order to switch to another logic. but it will also be logical for anyone to consider operation voc on a failed mission, spending 8 years in the for hell. it barely lived up to his promise. there is no noticeable change in the conflict. todd bade that is this a hell and f for france. jihadist are not only fill in the region, but they seem to be gaining momentum. according to the united nations, civilians have been displaced in their millions and they have also been killed in their thousands. the deepening of the protection crisis negatively affected the already dire humanitarian situation. the number of internally displaced persons rose to 397000 in the center in north of the country. more than 1800000 people

faced severe food and security, and 2000000 children under the age of 5 are affected by acute malnutrition process . if one is to invest in said history and culture with french speaking country. but what correlation is there between uranium mines in northern new j frasier, power plants, and french troops on the ground. and formerly, france is a transactional colonial power. the transitional government demands present, micron permanently abandoned his new colonial, paternalistic and patronized imposed show to understand that no one loves molly more than moderns. in a monday letter to the united nations security council in august, miley, i choose from this a violations of its air space to collect intelligence for the benefit of terrorist groups in the sale, and dropped arms in ammunitions to them. and chaired,

edit to french was lamenting frances interference in his domestic affairs. the french president insisted french remain pan african language in the face of former french colonies like rwanda rejecting it for english. instead, france was being rejected as an ally and rather viewed of a hangover of colonial times. instead of being humble, france blames russia and others. a number of powers who want to spread their influence in africa are doing this to hurt. france, hurt its language so doubts. but above all, for su, certain interests for more than 3 decades from seems entrenched and rooted on the continent. self assured, and even some might see khaki and its arrogance by 2022 for the year of lessons where the former colonizer framed diplomacy on the continent is being reviewed and

indifferent. tottenham is being sought. only time will tell if this is a bad page, or if dreka is really ready this time to be front of one. got to believe that a lot of t enjoy is. so anti french sentiment also on the rise in neighboring but kinda fast . so the countries president was overthrown in september in a qu of his alleged inability to deal with an islamist insurgency. protesters set fire to the french embassy in the capital. at some demonstrations, if you look closely, protesters will even seen, in fact, waiving the russian tri color flags right there. perhaps ultimately calling the close to security ties with moscow. so we spoke with a bunch of foster activist and academic who says that power says, quote, colonial attitude to african nations, lies behind much of today's anti french sentiment in the ridge he's

independence. i read just it has a glory our foresees, this is shelly france, an army in our area. and we can see it does force are just running out for see and did. did they organize they planning to do is organize our own army. we don't have the ability to, to plan and organize our own foresees to attend. so the need of secretion of security. so we gotta just say that it was, it reads true for our is our

government to commit those for c, u e in our e as in florida, cooper and some government id do for foresees our, our school there in our own government programs and to pull a, c, c, c, a t chewed off our blue glow, 9 a and b. i turning our attention now to sri lanka, where mass protests gripped the country in 2022. a government economic mismanagement was seen as the main factor in all of this, but as our south asia corresponding to reports,

the situation was greatly exacerbated by western sanctions against russian energy. 2022 has been a hero. stronger for sri lanka, the country faced its worse m r 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 dead leaving die the nation with no food, nor fuel, and no medicines. at least half a 1000000 people fell into poverty. and then not to forget the western sanctions on russia and 2022 that dragged the whole world into economic chaos. and further bunch of countries like sri lanka, not well, oh, ready, struggling? do you think sanctions will help? it will only push prices up. so let's start with what's possible. let us look at the sanctions that have been imposed and ask ourselves if it's necessary,

the sanctions won't bring russia to its knees, but they will bring the rest of the 3rd world. each niece was followed was daily parlor, back out, wide spread, brought out on the streets, blendy fields, outside federal stations, and all of that led to the fall of the long standing. roger buck shall government i in july. this the is war tree long gone. look like government offices, run a war public broadcaster hijacked presidential dallas ransacked prime ministers, offers set on please. and president having to flood the country unceremoniously

a little port or based in south asia. i have carla. numerous pro. yes or what a decade. but nothing compares to what she long got witnessed this. yeah. what, how did tingle so bad? she langon biggest industry's up to resume and agriculture. explore and see why the could own. i want to spend to make kids the tourism sector. a ban on chemical fertilizers into deals by the then president with i be a lodge above shop damage the agricultural sector. the import dependent country ran out of money as soon as 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 in face the challenges of this period. i'll be bed. good by till 2022. the 2 was have gone away,

but not the being. the supply is have somewhat restored 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 renegotiate loans with it's for lend does tighten budgets, spendings and beliefs. revenues simply means more trouble for the island nation of 22000000 people. region sharma, r t, supply shortages on sky rocketing energy prices lead to many countries seeing their highest inflation in decades this past year. and if you think thing is going to get better and 2023, maybe think again the i m f. i said it expects at least one 3rd of the world economy to be in recession. let's get the opinion nevada contributor kristen. one of the most commonly used was this year was inflation. according to google searches for the word crop to report between 20202022. why?

the sudden interest in this standard economic term inflation across the west surged to unprecedented levels during 2022 hitting on average 11.5 percent across the u. while in the u. s. supposedly the world's strongest economy, inflation climb to as high as 9 point one percent. but what does that mean for you and i? let's use an example. let's say you head to the supermarket to do your weak. he shot and lost his inflation was 0 percent, but this he has inflation is 10 percent. that means that you have 2 options. pay 10 percent more than you paid for the exact same shopping you bought at the exact same supermarket last year. or if you can't afford it or can't borrow enough to do so, you'll need to remove 10 percent worth of the items from your trolley. that's pretty hard if you're trying to get by on the bare essentials. it sounds like something out of charles dickens novel doesn't it? but this is actually a reality that millions of people face this year. what small west and politicians

appeared to be entirely clueless about the matter. take a look at bite and telling the world that us inflation was 0. when reality it had reached a peak of 9 point one percent. actually just want to say number 0 to day we received news with our economy had 0 percent inflation. in the month of july 0 percent, that came as a shock to christine the god. the current head of the european central bank inflation has a just pretty much come about from nowhere. apparently, inflation came out of nowhere. this is even more shocking, as before her current, highly paid job, she had another such lucrative employment as the head of the international monetary fund. that's the institution that controls the monitors, the entire global financial system. but have no fear. western lead is a quick to provide us with an explanation why you guessed it. as per usual,

it's all vladimir putin false. today's advisory board, confirm what america's already know. prudent price, i consider america hard. make no mistake in places largely the fall approval photos invasion of your grade is driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. i'm going to do everything i can to minimize pollutants price. i care at home. they fail to mention that over the past 24 months, the us and its allies printed of bossed amounts of money, not seemingly understanding, but the every single extra bank note you print. each bill becomes more and more worthless. thus giving this money to institutions and companies that have a reduced demanding goods and services due to a more or less global lockdown, we'll have a knock on effect printing bossed amounts of money tends to always cause what economists call hyper inflation. even a basic history book who show you this. the 1st example in modern history was the

1929 more st cross, which contributed to the dia, economic conditions in germany, which led in part to the rise of adult hitler and the nazi party. there are now double the amounts of us dollars in circulation than in 2019, no wonder inflation is through the roof. when there is twice as much of the walters, the currency circulating for the same amounts of goods and services that's down to economy. it's not growing substantially due to the freeze, forced upon the more or less by the global lockdown due to cobit 19. so what's the solution, and how do we get back to normal? central banks feel that they have the answer? that's right, you and i need to pay more in order to fix the mess that they have caused. right now the central banks of the u. s. u and u. k. are increasing the rates that you and i have to pay the credit credit. but many of us are being forced into due to be inflated price of goods and services. these are called interest rates, which is set to the baseline by all governments. the banks justify this by telling

us that they are being hit by the rising goods and services. and if the charge is small so that they won't go bankrupt. that's not to mention the rob a fossil claim that they also need to charge us more in order to fund billions upon billions of a few crane in order to combat the energy crisis caused by the sanctions on russian oil and gas done. we all wish that we could offset our mortgage or credit card payments against someone else. unfortunately, the wall doesn't work like that for you and i, but it does for them. so what is the knock on effects of this? the less money you have, but less you are going to buy. once you have maxed out your credit card, which now costs even more to pay off due to the increase interest. you become significantly poor. if you are poor up. so if your country and thus we start to see a steep decline into. busy poverty for entire countries, it isn't rocket funds to what this one out. but it's not all doom and gloom for some, especially if you are american inflation in the u. s. and across major european countries. so some kinds of flowing thanks to

a number of restrictive measures conducted by institutions. halting among many things, the printing of yet more dollars into the now hyperinflation. casino we call the global economy. us lawmakers have just passed the inflation reduction act, which has been met with pure disbelief by lawmakers globally. but predominantly those in the u that have been seemingly nodding their heads and complying with us fiscal demands over the past few years with little to no resistance. this act is an isolation if policy by the united states, incentivizing domestic productions of goods, putting foreign partners out and forcing them to produce goods and services inside the u. s. which is added to the already ravaging energy crisis and sanctions will become a catastrophe for the global economy. this means that as goods and services are produced domestically in the us, they will become cheaper for us consumers. whereas for anyone else outside the us that is used to buying cars, made in their country of origin,

prices will become boston more expensive. this further, we implies the price for the rest of us, but decreases the price for anyone in the us. in layman's terms, this will result in the u. s. economy, but best thing, the effects of the past few years on that people, but increasing the pain and suffering for every one else. the inflation reduction act has received so much additional scrutiny in europe and also in the rest of the world. there is a risk that the i r a can lead to unfair competition, could close markets. and the fragment, the very same critical supply chains that have already been tested by covet we are in europe really at the point where we risk to be de industrialized. we have to react with strength now. so is it too late for global leaders to reverse the

effects and counts of the us at this quite obvious game it is playing? well, the answer to that is difficult. the u. s. also controls the world's was the currency, the us dollar. most global governments in that central bank hold large amounts of dollars and bonds. at deflated us economy means that the cost of buying dollars will decrease. will this be enough to save the global economy? in my view, this is a huge gamble, no wonder, so many countries have had enough and they're now moving away from holding and trading in us dollars. they are now opting to hold currencies that have not been printed like, monopoly money, such as the chinese one, the russian rouble, even bitcoin. if the u. s. dollars ceases to be the be all and end, all of global finance. governments worldwide will have more sovereignty over their own finances in economies leading to a far more democratic multi polar walls. that will be a true free market. something that the u. s. allegedly, fort,

it's war of independence for the south. korea, as president has said, plans are underway to conduct military drills and evolving nuclear forces with america and the rising tensions on the korean peninsula. what we call extended deterrence was also the u. s. telling us not to worry because it will take care of everything. but now it's difficult to convince our people with just that. the u. s . government also understands that to some degree, the nuclear weapons belong to the united states. but planning information sharing exercises and training should be jointly conducted by south korea in the united states. while that announcement came off the north korea, so that will that increase as nuclear arsenal this year showing has been test firing missiles, as it's geo political rival to the south has been ramped and got military drills with america in recent months. the south has warned that if north korea conduction actual nuclear attack, it would retaliate and destroy the pyongyang government, and north korea attested that the purpose of its missile program was simply to

protect itself against threats from america and south korea. the prevailing situation calls for making redoubled efforts to overwhelmingly beef up the military muscle to thoroughly guarantee the sovereignty security and fundamental interests of the republic. in response to the worrying military moves by the u. s. and other hostile forces, precisely targeting the democratic people's republic of korea. we heard from a political expert, victor gal who states the military exercises will only exacerbate tensions on the peninsula. and just like united states and our okay, also need to really think about why d p r k had to develop its nuclear weapons. i think dpr k concluded that it needed the nuclear weapon to prevent the color revolution that the united states has been doing to many other countries to prevent a kind of military assault on dpr k aimed at over throughly the d p r k

government. and therefore, i think it really takes the 2 to tango, the united states, in particular empty p r k, need to negotiate with each other resort to diplomacy, to solve the nuclear weapon program on the korean peninsula. but now if the united states wants to join the military exercise with the r o k forces using nuclear weapons, in addition to strategic bombers, this is not helpful. you know, she may need no garage ation on the korean peninsula. it will make nuclear arise, asia and nuclear weapons, and a potential conflict on the korean peninsula. more likely using nuclear weapons and strategic farmers to join india. exercise involving a can on the korean peninsula should be condemned. because otherwise,

it may actually contribute to completely the stabilizing the situation on the korean peninsula. this is the last day that countries in that part of the world want to see some more news coming in now from don bass, where reports are emerging, the ukrainian military base has come on the fire. there are some of the latest unconfirmed images we have from the scene, and you can see an enormous blaze of firefighters. are they working to extinguish the flames? explosion in the area was reportedly captured, live by a french tv cru. filming at the time me. so i have more updates on that story on the rest of all stories for you would r c dot com for the meantime. this is asi international. thank you for joining the oh, the.
