a my sorry that i decided to fight for my country. no one could have done things differently. yes. do i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything with the number of russian soldiers killed in a ukrainian high marked rocket attack in the city of mucky of god near don, yet rises to 89. the russian defense ministry says mobile phones signal gave away their location to enemy, forth with a new level of gas export. the china rush and energy giant gas prom hale's record volumes. in the 1st days of the new year, i made plans to build more pipeline padding 8th, 13 across. so i felt the french ambassador as an anti colonial sentimental strengthens on the african continent,

as people speak to cooperate with countries other than fran wants to look at the decision is the will of our leaders. and then i can say that it's good because what the people don't know are leaders, do you know they want him to leave due to his faction, overload or other conflict with and finally we look at the biggest protest in golf thing 2022. and the mark differences in attitude various western countries have shown for the unrest. ah, hello, and good morning from moscow to wherever in the world you may be watching. welcome to the hour's top stories from all around the globe. i'm fearless banker. we start this hour with the latest on the war in ukraine. the number of russian soldiers killed in a missile attack in the city of mucky of car has risen to 89. that's according to the russian defense ministry. who's said ukrainian forces used us supplied high

marked rockets to target russian army positions. joining me alive in the studio is ortiz mariah garcia. welcome or i my, what else did the russian ministry of defense sang while the death toll? ah, the most important thing has risen unfortunately, 289. it was 63 mobilized fighters and officers killed predominantly from russia's samara region. we also learned various details about what happened in russian ministry of defense coming out shining lights on this on this tragic event, which happened just one minute after midnight. moscow time on a new year's day, i v v strike was carried out by a high mass launcher and americans applied high mars launcher with 6 missiles being

launched at a temporary barracks where these mobilized fathers soldiers were, was staying again temporarily. while they were busy being given billets elsewhere, unfortunately, only 2 of those rockets was shot down by russian air defenses. this is, again, a very difficult task. shooting down missiles as advanced as high mas rocket. they impacted the building collapsed. it was structurally compromise, and many, many dozens of people once killed by the strike itself, by the explosion. so much as by the building. collapsing nearby troops rushed to the scene as well as rescue as they gave her stay to, to who they could. they dug out others, but again, the death o, 89 people. it is,

it is huge. russia isn't used in this conflict to a death toll. this huge, we've seen similar, similar losses on the ukrainian side, but again, they're, they're suppressed. and previously ukraine hadn't been able to, to carry out a strike includes this amount of casualties, how they were able to do that. while again, the russian ministry of defense has come out, been and confirmed a prior theory that it was the mobile phones that the fighters, the soldiers had that gave them away or some refreshing appreciation. the main reason for the incident was despite a ban, the turning on and mass use of mobile phones within range of enemy weapons. again, as you see, if this factor allow the enemy to locate and determine the coordinates of mil to personnel location to carry out a missile strike, renewing a source currently, all necessary measures have been taken to prevent such tragic incidents in the future opinion following an investigation the responsible officials will be held

accountable to share the hi mas loon to vehicle was destroyed, according to the russian ministry of defense in return for other strides. babs, are out of revenge. also targeted near the b. do skulker near the town of theirs kafka, which is in east new craig targeted various stores and the vehicles the vehicle park of ukrainian. again high miles launches 4 of them, destroyed, therefore other multiple rocket launcher systems. $200.00 ukrainian troops killed and shrugs on barracks. in another area, $134.00, and most of these, according to the russian administrative feds, we killed in another ash strike targeting them. but again, these, these huge losses the ukraine has, is experienced as a result of russian strike. we've seen them from the start of the conflict from the

infamous strike me involved in the early days of the war, where more than 600 casualties. because as a result of strikes, targeting foreign mercenaries and trading camps, what you create has been able to do this time is replicate rush of success in targeting barracks where too many people will stay. yeah, obviously this was a very planned attack on such an important day for the people of russia. have we seen any reactions from local residents to this attack? well, local and all over russia. what we were talking about all the time zones for to the pacific ocean. of course, people have been coming out and everywhere in major cities to lay flowers in the memory of the soldiers. and some are especially against some are, is where most of them were from. there will be, we saw

a meeting or demons station in memory of these soldiers. more than 500 people coming out in the procession to lay to lay flowers in their honor or again, these in t 9 people killed ah difficult losses for russia. and for russians to stomach torture to her. it's very hard, but we can't be broken. we will destroy the enemy together, or we were left with no choice. neither we nor husbands wanted more, but to collective west rather against us, rallied to destroy us and our children. even your con, your sniffer. for me, this is very terrible. news of a great loss russian person is versus never going to me and every one else. never miss a very serious shock. with the same time we all understand angela's is a war on and then maybe the losses. despite all, we must move on to victory,

which in door it done that would happen, that should not go unpunished. this incident will forever remain in our hearts, and i am sure that not a single death of our soldiers have. i will be in vain. i get there by the other. again, this is a developing story. even days on there may be more casualties as they pick through the wreckage is the caraway, the rubble. but the few cranes intent was to send a message to the russian people, perhaps, to the cause protests saw. oh, also descend in russia. ah, that goal hasn't been achieved. as you heard of anything, it has mobilize the russian people even further. art is more at garcia. thanks moran for that explanation. a fundamentally new level that's how russian energy giant gas problem has described its gas exports to

china in the 1st days of the new year. in 2022 at the request of the chinese side deliveries regularly exceeded the daily contractual amounts and as a result we exceeded our annual obligations. this certainly speaks volumes about gas prom is a responsible supplier and a reliable partner. it also shows the interest of china, the most promising gas market in russian pipeline gas supplies. russia supplies gas to countries in asia via the power of siberia pipeline and gas prom intends to increase exports to china with more route plans. as for the company supplies to europe, they were stopped last year in the aftermath of anti russia, the sanction and explosions damaging the 2 north stream gas pipelines overall and november gas problem reported its gas production decreased by over 18 percent compared to the same period. last year we spoke to c g, t, and corresponded yang,

saying, gee, who says that in a time of global upheaval, countries align with those who choose cooperation. well, even before 2022, treat investments in the world have long been plagued by rising trends in protectionism, meaning countries using the, the economy as a weapon. that something that's now exacerbated export se with the particular trade and investment climate that russia is in right now. especially with many of its traditional clients in the west. it is only natural to pivot to countries that are willing to prioritize cooperation and development that take economic relations with china. for example, the country has also been facing its own challenges in terms of increasing western blockade in trade and investment expo say this natalie pro are prompted china to up is collaboration with the more stable trading partners such as russia from january to november last year by little trade volume between the 2 countries reached $172000000000.00 us dollars, which was a substantial increase of 32 percent year on year. chinese input of russian goods

rose 48 percent. a large part of it. energy and chinese export to russia. rose 13 percent consisting of items such as industrial equipment appliances to a tronic gadgets, the one extra se, the stable relationship between russia and china serves as a foundation for many longer term collaborations in more strategic areas such as nuclear, aerospace rockets and satellite navigation on the other hand, there are issues to be iron out, such as the issue of trade, trade settlement and currently still limited logistic capabilities, especially in terms of rail over to the african continent. now we're burkina, faso has expelled the french ambassador and made a rise in anti french sentiment in the country. a local reporter brings us more details above. well, love is no longer desire. the look, you know, fast to be transitional tease invoking, i believe that live

a lot is constant sending an hour to get well enough. fossil flooring for melissa is our bread and lucretia later last month to present in manuel my call to ask him to find in the present pits if of his country is looking at 5 different operations . well, this decision, some of us government to cut are popular ship. we've got, i'm very excited by this decision. i wouldn't complain if this had been done even earlier. we are happy when a slender is expelled, such people must be changed the way. so why wasn't he kicked out soon? i was, they want him to leave due to his actions. cutting off relations with france is not a big deal. there are other countries operated with him or not. it's not something that surprises me really. regarding the recent ration of relations between france and work and foster, as shown by numerous public demonstrations as pictures, specials, are not that surprised at all that content. the decision is the will of our leaders

. then i can say that it's good because what the people don't know are leaders do know. also perhaps the ambassador realizes what he did and so do the authorities and they know why they are urging france to recall him. know or present committee from the government a book, you know, so yet the communication oh, fisher price embassy. one guy i contacted to, they said it's local meant to get up. fossil is love challenging, but some of luca lot. but shouldn't worry about variables, we will get up as a 2nd set of decisions to come. a couple of weeks ago, the us system called meter in looking at fossil was expense. so this is the 2nd diplomatic, made your decision from the government of me never seem to love the case looking up and actually called the wind is blowing indifferent embassies.

what google is, they don't know who is the next light. we then we will see what got to burkina. faso is former ambassador to france told us paris must face new and changing realities in africa. before seeking up to it isn't necessary for the actors of friends politics. to accept that there has been an evolution in the african states with an increasingly educated view. more and more culture, people need to assert their autonomy and personality. a little more, our french partners must also take this into account, which i think in africans are not naive anymore. they know that russia also defense . it's interesting. it is a g o strategic position to defend, just like france does. what africans are looking for today is there a way to effectively strengthen their autonomy from the great powers, but also to be able to acquire many more advantage for their development.

india's foreign minister has refused to criticize russia over the conflict in ukraine. this comes in mid mounting western pressure on new delhi to take sides in the conflict. the an official statement was made during a televised interview on his visit to austria, as he pointed to europe's own history of controversial military action. or we have always taken the position that the way out is for no countries content get back to die logon to diplomacy and come sit on that. he's decided that he can situation is really complicated. i want the country invading, it's maybe a look. i can give you many instances of countries who have violated the sovereignty of another country. you know, if i were to ask where europe stood on, lot of those, i'm afraid i'll get alongside much while i was dr. essex j shanker in the us foreign affairs minister showing the mirror to austrian tv host. why does with it to the european country doctor as j shanker is on

a shot to was trying to meet with his counterpart as well as the sign several agreements including that of mobility as well as migration. but these are war in the al, finds itself in the hot seats again. and that's nothing new. india has been used to western sanctimonious cocktail or threats pressures, as well as let jose ellison's india shows the position of neutrality in that russia, ukraine, conflict, india. in fact, are, has insisted that there should be di, logan, negotiations in this situation can, would really urge ukraine to stop defending itself after all down the ukrainian tanks in russia, yard's russian tanks and planes and missiles destroying the crew. i think that's a bit of a misrepresentation. i think what we do is to say get back to dialogue and diplomacy . there was a dialogue and diplomacy in the early days of the conflict. so it's not that it

didn't happen. so it's not for us to put conditions and to say this country is equal to that country. you know, that's your judgment of india voting for dialogue in bees. it finds itself in the dark again and again. perhaps the west is uncomfortable with the new deli moscow friendship, which in fact has grown in the last futile saw. the cooperation between the 2 countries as well as trade has seen a phenomena growth in the year 2022. as far as oil is concerned, russia became in the top or supplier towards the end of the year. so passing its traditional dominant or suppliers like saudi arabia, as well as a rock, india has been form and exercising it should you could talk to me. and in the position of neutrality has perhaps upset the west that it's huge challenge. he is based on national interest and independent thinking. and that's what india cares

about. in 2022, russia became the world's most sanctioned country. but westerly, the certainty that international pressure would make more go change its course has left many questioning the efficiency of the sanctions and who's been really most affected by their impact. r t contributor rachel mars and brings us the story. 2002 was the year that the west took its longstanding fantasy of marginalising, the resource rich biggest country in the entire world. and turn that delusion into actual policy. western establishment team. west is chock full of those types who are basically that guy. and their big obsession is with team russia. they couldn't stop bragging about how they were going to stop. team rushes, success with their sanctions. power play, rob was already lost 30 percent of its value. russian stock market laws, 40 percent of us value and trading remain suspended. russian economy is ruined and

put in a long is the one to blame. we had determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so today, we're together proposing a new package of biting sanctions against russia. it turned out that in focusing a bit too much on trying to take down team russia with sanctions while failing to deliver on our promise. the west's fans ended up disappointed big time. mm. mm. mm ah

with team less fan, anger, mounting corporations on its own side, started opening bank accounts in team rushes, currency, the rouble, so they can keep getting team rushes energy for their own survival. we consider a payment conversion, compliant with sanctions laws. and the russian decree to be possible for our company and for germany as a whole, it is not possible to do without russian gas in the short term, this would have dramatic consequences for our economy. but it goes to the point where team last just could not ignore its fans outrage. it was pretty much impossible. so it started back tracking on its sanctions strategy against team rushes. resources easing up on rushing company, selling oil to 3rd parties. russian banks, insurance sanctions, most recently, coal sanctions with perhaps fertilizer and cement sanctions next

that you continues to ensure that it sanctions donald impact energy and agri, food exports from russia to a 3rd countries comparing press coverage from earlier this year earlier. the season to what we're seeing now, it's clear that all the early season hopes and optimism have given way to the harsh realities that team west to misguided and ideologically driven strategy has right. the social is with sanctions and not the and go dialogue is the key. and i would like to highlight the eu has made a decision not to support the strengthening of restrictions. so in 2023 we should find out if team west has a change in strategy that perhaps takes it supporters best interests into account or if it's headed for a big showdown with its very own fans. as we wrap up the top headlines of 2022, barely a week passed without protests flaring up somewhere in the world with too many for

one use bulletin to cover. however, while western countries, parade's protest overseas as a fundamental human right attitude toward protest at home often had a different reaction. our teeth marina close that are about, takes a closer look. with all notice that what some countries have a love hate relationship with protests in foreign lands when it suits them. they're all forts, but when it does, since they are condemned. well, let's see what we got in 2022. the me protest breakouts in iran after the death of a young woman behind bars, after she was detained by the country. morality police for improperly wearing a headscarf. while authority said she died, there were pre existing medical condition. her relatives claimed her detention was the cause. well, protest gain momentum,

and the whole thing turned in no purchase and see for the concern was to jump in with support the right for people everywhere. whether it's in china, whether it's iran, whether it's any place else, to protest peacefully, to make known their views, to vent their frustrations. such sentiment intensified online with media such as fox news feature in the same guess and the parents, iranian journalists and activists for 3 continuous days, calling for revolution. tomorrow iranian women will shake the clerical regime by removing their job and taking to the streets across iran to say no to he job. this is called women revolution. in iran walking unveiled is a crime. iranian men will also join us. iran says the woman has been working on behalf of the united states for a long time, receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars for work focused on challenge and iranian laws, while demanding more sanction from the west against her country. and then income

from somebody u. k. to land their voices of support, condemning the violent repression of legitimate peaceful protests in the wrong. let's make that clear because in their own countries ah, the u. k was busy passing laws that significantly restrict the right to such protests, and that's despite hundreds, riley, and in various cities across the u. k. calling for an end to the bill, which has also been condemned by human rights activists. meanwhile, there is no uproar from the west. ah, in france, year 4 of the so called yellow vest movements weekly protest aimed at economic and political reforms at various times, hundreds of thousands of people rallied,

but that the french government observed them peacefully. no, the violent crack thou that ensued has since been condemned by rights groups as well as other countries. and that's still happening by the way, ah, moving on to china and the mass protests against the countries. strict 0 cove at policies, people should be allowed, the right to assemble and to peacefully protest policies or laws or dictates that they take issue with the white house supports the right of peaceful protest. so it's ok to protest in china and iran, but not france or the u. k. you got that right? and america's support comes with a warning as well as some more encouraging words from its pals. the ccp should know that one way or another in the coming months or in the coming years,

the united states will hold accountable each and every c. c. p official responsible for atrocities against these protest this. every one in china should be allowed to express themselves. should be allowed to share their perspectives and indeed protest. we're going to continue to ensure that china nose will stand up. human rights will stand, was people who are expressing themselves. so just intruder is all for standing out quite human rights. and people express themselves. ah, well let's discuss canada's freedom convoy, shall we? a series of protests against colbert 19 policies that saw hundreds of convoys joined by thousands of protesters to block roads and border crossings. organizers, crowdfunding millions for this and now they're on bail facing several charges while calling for a freedom. corn boy, 2 point oh oh nonsense. according to their prime minister,

the small fringe minority of people who are on their way to ottawa or are holding unacceptable views that they're expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each other. ah. and then there's the so called democracy in peru while they give us val comes the countries new leader. it's people not so much. the u. s. welcomes president bullets a and looks forward to working with her administration to achieve more diplomatic, prosperous and secure region. we support her call for we go on with of national unity and the board, peruvians as the you know, in support of their, their morrissey. we don't agree with the way our president was ousted with lies and trickery below art. he doesn't deserve to be president. she hasn't been elected by the people. we're defending our democratic rights. we don't want to be governed by a user per the e u and the white house. however,

welcome the new leader right away and said that she was the rightful successor, calling her a safeguard of democracy and constitutional order. meanwhile, thousands were clash with wyatt police and the state of emergency was declared. there are have been instances where the police appear to have resulted in nasa right and disproportionate use of force and indiscriminate use of gas. so the new leader who is backed by the west is already accused of a violent crack down on peaceful protesters. well, i guess in this case the west statements about everyone having the rights event does not apply. and before we go, 2022 was filled with global events that are shaping the future of the world. but also numerous slips of the tongue and trash talk by world leaders. even though most of them were not meant to be for the public eye or ear. we present you our best

picks of political hot. mike's a a a, a. ready with

everything with dialogue, with the conditions and those were the hour's top stories for more up to the minute news updates had over to r t dot com. we'll see you back at the top of the hour. ah

.
