colonial come into your life from our studio here in moscow, you're watching our see international monies. peter scott's here with all the latest this tuesday afternoon. welcome to the program. i was trying to start with the latest from the don bus were a civilian woman has been killed by the ukrainian shelling of the finance group, a big city of alexander, of careless, according to local authorities. earlier in the same area for us supplied hi mas vakio launches were destroyed in destroyed in ukrainian controlled cities, of bruce kafka, and from a thought that again, is according to russia's defense ministry. on verified i'm, it's a footage shows the apparent aftermath of the russian stripes, canadian generalist of a bottle. it has the details of how the situation is escalating along the front line rushes. the defense ministry has stated that in the attacks last night in dis kafka,

a 120 ukrainian soldiers were killed. i think many people by now might have seen the footage shown of the massive blast. it was captured on french television as it was broadcasting live last night and, and according to the russian ministry of defense in our, an attack on chrome at tolorisk, they destroyed to mon tramps used for the high mar system and over $800.00 rockets, houston multi launch rocket systems, initially, the rush has defense. venture update today noted that in addition to the 120 you creating soldiers killed, another 134 and mercenaries were killed. meanwhile, in this approach, irrigation the end and talk mock, we know that a hospital has been struck by ukrainian shelling. we don't know yet of any injuries . also in my keep got to the east of danielle ukrainian. a shelling has been using american supplied hires. and january 1st, ukrainian attacks killed 63 russian soldiers and mckee, fca on the use of these high mar systems. it's, it's pretty well known by now on that as well. according to colonel douglas mcgregor, a well respected american colonel,

he says he has stated in many interviews that it is not ukrainian forces that are operating the high mars, but american and british contractors. so that's an interesting additional piece of information. last night in yes, novato, which is a city to the north of daniel ski, craney and shelling targeted an apartment building. now i went there to day and there were no reports of injuries. there was damage to the building and it was a completely residential area. here in done yet, sky january 1st, just after 4 i am. ukraine shall the very center of the city with 25 grad rockets hitting just blocks from where i'm standing now. and they hit the the main street r t my street. there are no military targets there whatsoever. i don't know. we haven't heard reports of injuries, but one apartment was badly damaged and there is a children's library, beautiful historic children's library, directly across the street that was damaged by the blast. and throughout the day to day, ukraine has continued to shell districts of denounced. well, there's

a storm of harsh criticism from israel is on poles falling the ukrainian poems decision to celebrate the birthday of stepan, bon derrier, but dare excuse me. he was an infamous ukrainian, who collaborated with the nazis at during world war 2. but sweets which phrased bon dera was quickly deleted. also an outcry of ongoing line. baldera was the murderer responsible for the genocide of paul's in 1943 to 1944. when you p, a troops horribly killed about a 100000 polish civilians. for one of the routers tweet references stepan bendara, a ukrainian ultra nationalist, an anti semite, whose followers engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing against jews and poles during world war 2 appalling bender, i would have hated a democratic liberal ukraine. he would be the 1st in line to assist in 8. it's jewish president. the controversial commemoration was posted by the ukrainian rod

in and now deleted swedes. the post defeated the chief of ukraine's armed forces, posing in front of the portraits of the notorious figure, a quote by bundle urging to fight for ukraine's independence from the soviet union was also used in the suite. asked upon bendara acts of the collaborated with nazi germany during the 2nd world war. he was also the leader of the radical terrorist wing of the organisation of ukrainian nationalist group is still part in numerous mass killings, including the brutal slaughter of an estimated at $100000.00 holes. the war era massacre has been labeled genocide by the polish government must now cross live to jaws somewhere, a senior research fellow at the global palace jude policy institute. think thank welcome to you. thanks very much for joining now. what do you make of this tweets? that's now been deleted, celebrating his birthday stepan, banderas. what is possible?

of course the. 1 the rehabilitation of been there has been going on at the ferocious space ever since the orange revolution of 2004, practically no day goes by without a new statue being a, somewhere in ukraine of barrow or a street being renamed off am or town square renamed up on there. it's ongoing. poland knows very well if this is ongoing, and yet it chooses to look the other way. sometimes it's so embarrassing, as with the case of this tweet, that they have to say something are publicly, but it's a measure of the intensity of the rest. so it's a measure of the intensity of the rest of phobic, nato organization. that whole and actually, you know, is willing to go along with this, with a man who is responsible for the master of their own country with hundreds of thousands of their own countrymen. and they're willing to look the other way and

continue to look the other way just in order to keep in with the need to which and so you know, see if there's any chance that this late sweet, so the celebration of bun dara, would in any way affect poland, storm support of ukraine. not in the slightest me room. the polish ambassador to germany, melnick. he went on german t. v, and spoke warmly about there and said everything about his allies. the poles were a little embarrassed by this. and you crane then responded by withdrawing the ambassadors of holes. oh yeah, good, good resort. of course he was promoted. he became deputy foreign minister. so this person who was only saying on german t v, there was a great man, is now the deputy foreign minister of ukraine. so poland has been a long time and it's not going to stop. and even in

these tweets that, your correspondence quoted, it's very kind of, you know, half way. yeah. well this is probably the right way to do it. there is no outrage as there should be outrage over the celebration of a man responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths of their own countrymen. not just you know what he did to the jews, not just what did the rough of the people. and yet the, and yet the still going along with this now you creighton has previously named streets and squares after step on bon dera, but no one really previously paid that much attention. what do you think it seems to be much more of an issue these days? well, because as far as the united states was concerned, almost the moment that will to ended, they threw in their lot a little crash, fascist knots, is a neo nazis crashes. collaborators, that's all the you as it, you know, in order to fight the cold war. so if you,

you know, if you were against the russians against the communist, you were now good to go as far as the u. s. was concerned. poland, which is decided to essentially identify its own interest with those of the united states has had to swallow the u. s. line. i mean the united states can last year, but there are a number barrier. he's useful because these aren't the russian and the ukrainian swear by him. so he's useful to the americans. but the, what's, what's interesting is that poland should essentially embrace this. and i think that this is fine. i mean, can you imagine hadn't been, let's say france, france decides to rehabilitate. marshall panel p l or italy decides that glad you know was the lead. it wasn't such a bad guy up role. you know, you made the trains run on time and saw it would be absolutely shocking and outrageous. but as long as you are useful in the fight against russia, as long as it mobilizes ukrainian opinion against russia,

then that's fine. you're going to go. well, georgia, somewhere they were going to leave it. i'm afraid very fascinating to get your thoughts on that development stage, or somebody seen a research fellow at the global policy institute thing. thanks again for your time . ah, another conflict, this seems no closer to resolution. the moroccan armies positions in west africa, so it increased at times by the western sahara liberation on in recent days. for those forces currently occupied over 80 percent of the region which the surround, we are a democratic republic laced claim to ortiz criminal sutler dig deeper into the decades long conflict african victims of what moroccan authorities have called a stampede on his border with spanish, not african enclave of molina discrimination and violence from police are often rooted in colonial and slavery. prisms. and this was no different.

ah. 6 months of the incident, the governments of spain and morocco denied responsibilities for the death. similar, a relic of spain's colonial pass that is still cherished today. the incident is alleged, saw thousands of migrants and refugees, tired of being changed our black animals with little to no welfare. climb ob, 6 me to long. i am fences that led to precious with police scores of migrants were left, did many died where they fell,

the governments of morocco and spain under reported the full extent of this horror and denied any responsibility. but not every one was willing to take this at face value, even after enquiries by rabbit and madrid. at this dismal 6 month anniversary, the spanish american authorities have continued to deny any responsibility for the carnage at miller. there is a growing mountain of evidence of multiple, serious human rights violations. the smacks of a cover up in racism, spain ruled over western sahara from 1884 until 1975 following international pressure. the un resolution on the colonization, spain was forced to seed control over its territory. neighboring morocco wasted no time in annexing western sahara, illegally flaming. it's part of its kingdom for 5 decades morocco waged war on the surrounding people. and for 16 of those years,

the poly sadie of france and national liberation movement led the defense of the sa wiley length. the position expressed by the spanish government totally contradicts international legitimacy, the united nations, their freakin union, the european union, the international court of justice, the european court of justice and origin. organizations do not recognize moroccan sovereignty over the western sahara. but it wasn't just fe. germany also encouraged moral cause ref berlin denounced former you as president donald trump's recognition of morocco's claim over with the the hara and the united nations in march of 2021. moreover, and foreign ministry severed all ties with germany, including german organizations based in morocco. but as soon as all of shoals became the new chancellor, the country seemed to assume a much more relaxed than using energy issues caused by the ukraine conflict as an

excuse. germany signed the hydrogen deal with morocco, berlin now to beg, moral has claim over sarah, we left germany considers the autonomy plan presented in 2007 as a serious and credible effort by morocco and as a good basis for a solution agreed upon between both parties this europeans you, paul chrissy, of looking out for your own interest seems more like a western privilege. the united states, the so called defenders of democracy and liberty in the world also recognize morocco's claim. in a quid pro quo, the deal is a bite. has 2 men in diplomatic ties with israel, even though the united nations recognized the police are your friend, as the legitimate representative of the seller?

are we people, the west only cares about it, interest and narrative, but for many in the global south, it would be a moral. any justice if west thin interests are allowed to some do, gained an entire people without a rebuttal. cannibalization for r t in jonesboro will a sorry i to this thing so that you stand on the conflict violates international laws and conventions. the economy set up more bass element of his passport in germany did not directly recognize moral conservancy in sorrow. it is a kind of recognition in so called self rule and a kind of excuse for morocco's occupation of western sahara. it is a decision taken by spain in germany, but it violates international law and all international conventions. there was a clear contradiction. we see the western nations defending human rights from ukraine, but at the same time supporting the illegal occupation of western sahara for the benefit of morocco. because according to the un international law and international

tribunals, morocco's presence in western sahara is considered an occupation. this means that human rights, international laws, all the principals at the e u in the u. s. have been talking about, or just tools in the hands of a dominant power that uses them when it has certain interests. unfortunately, support for western sahara does not correspond to the interests of western countries. nigerian officials have announced the rest of the 10 suspected members of an illegal militant group falling, arrayed on a training company, the border town with con maroon. now, prior to the raid officers received tips reported the linking for the arrested men to the burning of a nigerian police station back in 2020 militants in the region. not been linked to english speak in separate this groups in the contestant board area. and seen covering in nigeria dispute between warring factions have resulted in scores of casualties, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes,

and many in the neighboring nigeria of separatism has played cameroon. but since, as far back as 1961, when modern state lines were drawn, forcing former colonies and people speaking different languages to combine under one rule, we se intentions have resulted in a demand for the removal of french speaking judges from predominantly english speaking districts. local militants have also lost the thanks on residents and government forces. we heard from some local people. we have monday, them to move our communities, thinking about school. we taught, you know, making up these people of these communities. there is women on a dog dose the governor gets you, mo was worse. so this month of not being q christ who was african each se for $49.00 junior language divide stems from the

confidence colonial past. after the border between british held nigeria and french held cameroon, divided members of similar ethnic backgrounds, ethnic groups for each other to determine which colonial era language should dominate the regions future. that's being quite important because because in the pool now, mother did not partition come into french come alone, where they call themselves frank, a voice speaking french, i'd have to face cultural my simulation on the, in that room that was put in because by the british or the level of british come a rule now will now call themselves and reform speak in english. we know how this people, i'm no go ahead causing it, or the enemies, the colonial, intricate. and the complications and colonies they lead to the inability of the 2 systems to coin this together. and they began to fight into what we know today as the end of a crisis. if you compare it cameroon as a colony of germany,

i believe that he who had our independence as a calling of germany one language, one education. i just don't want to be our system. we will not be in this model today or journalist and also smith says that the dialogue is the only way to resolve the separate this conflicts separated them has all the common room. the modern camera was created in 1961. so it seems they have always been paid full when not even support. 0 one, what we know about the only difference now who can put the ration on my pc? the not on rule leading a single me tell me on camera. and so it's not that night what reagan read, the schools they needed to, they're going to school, they even knew the and probably seen the people who are going to school,

they killed 2 then at the school in the gc in the south was that is what the separate is that doing which you dumping on acceptable, the current situation? it cannot be so through military means it is through dialogue. moving on now. israel's far right national security minister ben beer has visited the science of the contested alaska mosque in jerusalem. just by warnings from both the opposition and gods is ruling hamas group that such visits could flare up tensions. some arab states cricket condemned to move with palestine, since such israeli policies pushed the region into the abyss. the ministry of foreign affairs condemns the sinful desecration and warns of its dangerous consequences for the security and stability of the region. these risky policies

will drive the region to the edge of the abyss. ben good defended his rights to visit the disputed holy side stating that the trip was conducted after all, the necessary security assessments on the current government will not come to hamas as threats, as long advocated to ease restrictions, preventing jewish people from visiting. i'm praying that the holy sides that they call the sample mountains or jewish people, consider the location as i said, the temple mount, who they call it the historic location of 2 important jewish samples and according to aerobic restriction, off the bid from entering his premises. augustinian hold, the location of the current arcs mosque, sacred as its the spots from which mohammed ascended to heaven in islam and thus object to any change to the current rules, allowing muslims to enter and pray the will for more on this contentious topic. those costs live, not local journalists, a list the high and earliest. good afternoon for you. thanks for joining those. could you fill it in on the local scituate?

is it on the situation and why it's been this visit has been so contentious? well this visit is very contentious because of the, the, the implications of such a visit by, as someone who was a, just until very recently, a criminal, an ex convict, who was so sent to gibb bye. and his record for his incitement and reaches and all of a sudden, this same guy, the same activist who was off by these radio police themselves as i suddenly become the minister and shall dudley police force in his will and decided to kitty all this at what he calls a visit, what palestinians and muslims says, call it the storming of the alexa morse, the 3rd holiest, the swine in islam. only because he is now a minister and he has the chance to do whatever he wants. and the other point of making this was it very or to of video content that contents, this is basically it reminds the palestinians with what happened back in september 2000. when then opposition,

leader areas set on decided to storm the alert some wars to the same way that been via did it early this morning. and that event, that event that visit in september 2003. good. what became known as the 2nd that i seen an intifada on which dia, prices were paid by the palestinians by the families, by, by activists on the 15th streets that were very much outraged by this visit. because it is a signal and intention that, that, that, that started many years ago and continues until this very moment that israel really wants to change the stethoscope of the holiest, the 3rd holiest shine, and islam in the old city of jerusalem. well gentlest alice is a har in repulsion, live from jerusalem. thanks very much for filling his in on that controversial visit. thank you. the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi is stepping down from her role as speaker this year,

but she still staying in congress and the official made waves in 2022 with her controversial visit to tie one stoking tensions in the u. s. is already fraud. relationship with china is ortiz kelly bobby, with mall. now, the by the administration says that it wants to get along with china. but as the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. and this year we saw nancy pelosi, the u. s. speaker the house visit taiwan. nancy pelosi is the highest ranking u. s. official to visit that island in 25 years. and her example was followed in december by a few british m. p. 's. needless to say, china is not thrilled when you do have repeatedly made clear alpha opposition to speak, a pitiless visit to taiwan. if you ask, insist on challenge and china's red line, it will be met with resolute contra measures. the u. s. must ensure full responsibility for any serious consequence arising. both the world braced for war

as pelosi, blatantly disregarded u. s. foreign policy and took its dig it beijing. china then launched 2 weeks of dramatic military exercises. the whole pacific region was put on to high alert, but war did not calm. china responded with economic measures and sanctions. the world was not impressed either. the deep us china, competition. that was not the surprise, but this collation of been shown in pay one. yes, they were not deemed as gender and they were treated by an individual trouble of lepers finality that bring the tie when is treated to breach at the age of a i wouldn't say a wall, but a lot of wall games. los is moved not only threatened china which considers the island to be a renegade. ready province, but it also goes against long standing u. s. policy. the u. s. government says there's only one china and recognizes the

government in beijing, but yet biden sad of the people's republic moved to retake the island. he would step in. we are not moving, we're not encouraging or being independent to be clear, sir. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes. while on the island, nancy pelosi reassured taiwan. that economic measures from the united states regarding the shipping industry would benefit tie one's economy and make up for increased pressure from the government of china. taiwan has already paid your visit and is likely to continue to do so becoming days and weeks. what concrete tangible benefits and you promised taiwan, offset the cost of your trip. went to the same time if the ship is taking place in recognition of our common interest. economically, we just pass the chips and signs at the taiwan policy act,

or 2022. now sit before the u. s. congress. this isn't so much a pro taiwan bill as it to bill aim at retaliating against the chinese government. china has slapped a visa ban on a number of officials on the island who helped coordinate the foreign visits. the reason elections on taiwan saw a pretty big suite for the k m. t party that's more sympathetic toward cooperating with the mainland. meanwhile, independence forces saw pretty big setbacks, seems pretty clear the people on the island do not want war as much as washington enjoys taunting beijing and playing with their lives as pawns when it comes to how country is conduct themselves in the international arena, there are certain standards the various games that the biden administration is now playing, despite insisting they haven't abandoned the one china policy that is longstanding . are certainly anything but professional. the world is not impressed. fail of mob rti, new york, nancy pelosi huns over her house of representatives,

leadership to the republicans. it seems that the politicians stints in office created more critics than funds will get more on this story. and all this on our websites, t dot com as old from those for now, but we'll be back with all the latest news and views at the top of the hour. thanks for watching. ah, ah
