a full common ground with the number of russian soldiers killed in a ukrainian high march rocket attack in the city of mucky of your don. yes, rises to 89. the russian defense ministry says mobile phone signals gave away their location. the enemy forces a new level of gas exports, the china russian energy, giant gas prom hale's redford volumes. in the 1st days of the new year, a med plan to build more pipeline petty nice burkina faso expo. the french ambassador as anti colonial sentiment, strengthens on the african continent as people seek to cooperate with other

countries, other than france is one to 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 they want him to leave due to his actions. cutting off relations with friends is not a big deal. there are other countries from corporate, with 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 pure, elizabeth. we start this hour with the latest on the war and ukraine. the number of russian soldiers killed in a missile attack in the city of mucky has risen to 89. that's according to the russian defense ministry who said ukrainian force is used us, supplied high mars rockets to target russian army positions are t's more. garcia has more, the death toll has risen from 63 previously to now. and 89. it

is increased as rescue as emergency services. the military cleared away, the rubble of this building was struck. one minutes after midnight. on the new year's day, moscow time, the russian military has come out and said that in all 6 high mars rockets were launched at this building, 2 of them were shot down for impacted this building. they compromised the structural integrity of the building. the building collapsed. many of the soldiers who emerged from the rubble who survived the initial attack, they ran back into the damage sections of the building to try and dig out their friends. and many of them were killed again when, when other missiles struck whom we've also learned. the reason the presumable reason for all of this, and that is mobile phones are some, are fishing for sure. the main reason for the incident was despite a ban,

the turning on and mass use of mobile phones within range of enemy weapons. this fact to allow the enemy to locate and determine the coordinates of mil to personnel location to carry out a missile strike. currently, all necessary measures have been taken to prevent such tragic incidents in the future. russia destroyed the i mas, launch a vehicle that launched these missiles, according to the russian ministry of defense. furthermore, for more high mas launches were destroyed in the rich warfare. a settlement near by there also for other multiple rocket launcher systems, were destroyed, a ukrainian barracks was struck with 200 casualties. they're nearby and muslim. got another virus was struck, which house foreign fighters together with the the ukrainian military. we've seen demons. patience of people in samara, which again, is where these mobilized fights is hailed from more than 500 people coming out to

lay flowers. what we heard, what they said, isn't that they were broken off that they were upset. it is that they were the font, it's very hard, but we can't be broken. we will destroy the enemy together. we were left with no choice. neither we nor husbands wanted war, but the collective west rallied against us, rallied to destroy us and our children. the mere con, your sniffer for me, this is very terrible news, a great loss, a russian person is very significant to me and to every one else. this is a very serious shock, but at the same time we all understand. this is a war, and there may be losses. despite all, we must move on to victory. it done what happened should not go unpunished. this incident will forever remain in our hearts, and i am sure that not a single death of our soldiers will be in vain. the message that the girl, that the russian ministry of defense and those responsible for this tragedy will be

punished. i've spent more than 6 months on the frontlines. we've seen the legs that the russian military goes cut to mitigate risks, to minimize risk. and the same is true for, for soldiers who could have get many of them living in buildings together. more than a 100. these missiles that were launched were a message because somebody somewhere messed up. and that is what the russian ministry of defense is trying to say that they will get to the bottom of this at the, the offices, the generals, those responsible for, for stationing. so many people together in a single building that they will be identified and they will be punished. the governor of the crimean city of 7 stoping has said to drones were shot down near the local airport. he also confirmed all services are operating as normal. meanwhile, air defense systems have been operating overnight in the russian city of ross

devonne dunn that's has locals reported bright flashes and explosions in the area. there were no reports of casualties. and according to local officials, the situation in the region remain stable. germany has rejected reparation talks with pole in which wars are requested to discuss compensation for berlin's crimes. during the 2nd world war, the german government has declared the matter closed according to the german government, the case of reparations and compensation for demons remains closed. the german government does not intend to open negotiations on this matter. this answer to sum it up shows an absolutely disrespectful attitude towards poland and both germany does not. with your friendly boasts, it was poland. they want to build their sphere of influence here, and treat poland as a vessel fate. poland has asked us for assistance on the issue of world war 2, reparations from germany. a made a large scale information campaign in the country,

as well as reaching out to major global organizations. poland, deputy foreign minister said the international community is unaware of berlin's failure to pay reparations to warsaw for the crimes committed in poland. between 19391940 5. after the 2nd world war, germany paid out $23000000000.00 to the us. great britain and the soviet union in 2015, berlin denied a similar request from greece, saying there was no chance for more reparations to be paid. join me in the studio, a steven gadgets institute of european studies professor, welcome. so germany insist that case the preparations is closed. why do you think poland has other plants? paul maybe has the, the right of course to ask for reparations or as other nations that were victims of

nazi german aggression during world war 2. however, the timing is very interesting. so of course is $1004.00, if i'm not mistaken, are born is asking for reparations. but this has been intensified in the last the last couple of months actually in since february this year. since the last a escalation of already existing war in eastern europe. and so i think that there is a more profound reason for this. that is, that as many times in 2014 and 15 the chief of straw for at the time, ah, george friedman said that the main question is germany. he said that the european union is unsustainable as a project, and that it will eventually fall apart. and the main question of europe is germany, the german question. so the interest of the united states,

and he openly said that as it was, the interest of great britain in the past is for germany not to get connected in a geopolitical coalition with russia. as a germany industry and russia resources might pose a threat for london in the past and even present and washington today, and that everything should be done so, so that this does not happen. so i am inclined to think that full and might be motivated from a 3rd party to ah, intensify these requests. well, other than the motivation, poland, germany concluded several treaties and agreements to compensate polish victims of german aggression twice in the seventy's in 1982 and between 19922006 when germany and austria jointly paid compensation to surviving victims of slave labor in nazi germany. don't these count as reparations. and how fair is it to say that poland has received no reparations from germany. while i think that this is

a question for a, for lawyers and for their craft, because it can probably be defined in one way by the germans and the other by the polls. and i think that yes, of course we can think of this as partial reparation. but i still think that the context is what really counts out that what is important is the environment in which the nato is constantly trying to force germany to let's say, participate more in the common defense. also, germany is being bullied literally by washington and london, and even by kiev and, and war. so as you can see now. so from the most powerful country of european union, it has been became a laughing stock. and the problem with the german society is that it is not

ready really to understand that germany maybe has an interest in the world. and we can also see that by reactions of souls and also there's another problem which is that germany has, i mean, let's be opened agents of influences on government. you had on a better book as, as the minister of foreign affairs who says that it's not the german interest that are dear to her heart, but the ukrainian interest, meaning nato's interest. so when we combine all of this, we see a country that is being, let's say, semi occupied by, by, by nato or this occupation that probably exists since the end of the world war 2. that only spreads to the eastern part of germany. once the berlin wall fell, is now being exposed while you talk about the geo political contacts, especially with russia, ukraine, and the global agenda happening right now,

do you expect poland to get wider support in this context? i do expect a great britain to supported and the americans as well, but they won't be so direct about it. probably some modern countries, some, some mid sized countries which are heavily involved in the conflict in one way or, or the other are going to support bolan's book bowling to this question. however, i don't think that the main players behind the scenes are going to be exposed. it's very similar to what we've heard in the, in the godfather, when it the 3rd part. when mr. mr. quarterly on explains to the young apprentice that the his main enemy will try to hide his face. well, and what political leverage do you think polen, if any,

has on germany and b e u and what car do you think it could have up his sleeve to convince us it has leverage? because as we remember in the past, george w bush called the romania on it and poland and also mister rumsfeld, that countries of so called new europe spearheaded by the baltic states and fall under no mania. and others are the ones who are to whom the future belongs and so on and so forth. so these countries of so called inter madi, and by the way, inter mario, it was an idea by a polish marginal bill slootsky to isolate russia. that was a century ago almost. however, these ideas are being refurbished by for instance in 2016 former president of grace calling the grandma, get out of it. we've heard 3 seas initiative and audrey similar initiatives.

i think that the bowling has leverage because it is heavily involved. we see that a lot of polish equipment is being sent to you. great. also a lot of allegedly abolish fighters. retired soldiers are fighting in on the ground. so of course, because of this, made toward the united states, the british will probably stand behind, full and in, in their claims. so let's say poland does succeed in getting reparations from germany. what exactly are we talking about here? are we talking about just money? probably not. i think that the real aim here is nato's agenda to read militarize, germany. so as george freedom that i've mentioned, while he said, you know, that in belgrade and 1014, that germans should do, i'm paraphrasing what their best that's get armed boys and go to these. so i think

that's the real agenda behind this whole reparation is talk well on a completely different topic. the lithuanian minister of culture has said he considers it possible to declare moratorium on russian culture in his country because of russia's actions against ukraine. how justified would such a move be? i mean, this is ridiculous move, i think only 2 or 3 years ago if, if somebody of that leverage would go with, with such a statement that would have been considered a scandal. i would say in european union, however, now we see a war psych all this in which this is possible to me. this is very similar to the a canceling of culture done by the nazis. they were burning books of poets. so like a highly high net and others who did not fit in their nancy ideology. another agenda here might be, ah, actually to, under the cover of this,

a culture war, i don't know how to call it a war against russian culture. i may be a to discipline and, and discriminates the russian minority that lives in the country. and this also would not be a precedent. ah, and also to present a this very, i would say racist concept where a culture itself is a problem. and where are you know, to say that the culture of some people brings a, b and c consequences. and this was also done in the past. i am as remind a 1992. there was a film by mister pavlo, skip all palostio cold, serbian epics a which was a lesson, an academic attempt to portray the serbs as inherently an inherent villains, genocidal people and so on. ah, there were interesting details in this movie, for instance, there was

a scene where all the cerebral leaders are smoking cigarettes and it was the just, it came just months after bill clinton, who was just elected as president the united states announced the war against the, against the camel, joe campbell, and, and cowboy, marlborough. so ah, these are psychological tricks with a specific political aim. and i think this political aim is here to really vilify and dehumanize the russians as such by saying the older culture is a problem. their culture is the weapon and therefore we get we should not only fight against them on the ground, but also deny them really to rise to express themselves in the right to exist with such a political manipulation and a narrative management. so open right now, the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman actually spoke out and commented on the potential move labeling the lithuanian minister, a minister of anti culture and condemning of course, the initiative is her reaction harsh or is it an acceptable given the circumstances

i don't think is hard, eileen, what, what is to be expected from the russian side to, to do a, you know, with these outrageous statements which i have been normalized. i think that there's nothing much russia can do about it in the, in the sense, but it should record is things it should expose it to the wider public and the time will come when people who were saying things like that are going to be ashamed. well, since we're talking about russia, ukraine, briefly touching on another key headline over the last few days after the deadly attack on russian troops and mucky of the western media were quick to point out and expose what they called russian failing. was this respond surprising? no, i don't think it was surprising. of course, there were, there was a russian failing in, in, in that sense. however, we've seen many more on the other side, but this is, you know, this is not a contest in all war. as such, always is a tragedy. and what i,

what i see here is nothing more than, let's say boosting the morale in a propaganda war. which is, you know, of course, the psychologist sized so they so, so that, you know, this psychological element to the war is being really put to the front. so that the other side probably is supposed to feel bad than to, to, to lower it's more a morale. so i don't see anything unusual in this nato countries are in this war. maybe they are not officially in it, but we did. they are not claiming to be, however, you know, we had or to solve for the land for under lion and other people who are saying that they will support it. trained to the bitter and lindsey graham senator said that so that he's happy that the trails will fight them till the last man, i mean, how horrific is such a is such a statement that the, the, he's of, you know,

object devising. seen these people just as, as a, as a, as a cannon, a folder for of, for their geopolitical means. so i'm really not surprised by this boosting of such an event as a huge victory. thank you for the comprehensive breakdown steven gadgets, professor of the institute of european studies ah, 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 routes planned. as for the company supplies to europe, they were stopped last year in the aftermath of anti russia sanctions and explosions damaging the to nord stream gas pipelines overall in november, gas from reported gas production decreased by over 18 percent compared with the same period last year. we spoke to c gts 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, it's, we're say, 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,

a tick 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 expos say this, natalie pro, 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, 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 ah, over to the african continent. now we're burkina, faso has expelled the french ambassador a made a rise in anti french sentiment in the country. a local reporter brings us more details above. well, her love is no longer desire. the look you know, fast to the transition or tease invoking, i believe that live a lot is constant sending an hour to get well can a fossil flooring oper? melissa is our bread and lucretia later last month to present in manuel. my call to ask him to find any representative of his country is looking at 5 different operations. well, the decision, some of us, the government to cut or papa she, we price together. 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. other countries cooperate 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 and speeches, beneficial or not that surprised at all to get the decision as 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. no opposition commit from the government. a book, you know, so yet the communication oh, fisher price embassy in what i contacted today said it's local, meant to fossil is love challenging, but the person of luke a lot. but shouldn't worry about variable we book, you know, as

a 2nd set of decision to come a couple of weeks ago the us system called later in booking fossil was expense. so this is the 2nd diplomatic, major decision from the government of me never seem to love the case in booking up and actually call the win is really indifferent embassies in what google as they don't know, who is the lexus light? we then, we will see what got to bertina fossa, former ambassador to france, told us, parents must face new and changing realities in africa. food. it is necessary for the actors of friends politics to accept that there has been an evolution in the african states with an increasingly educated youth more and more cultured people who need to assert their autonomy and personality. a little more. our french

partners must also take this into account. africans are not naive anymore. they know that russia also defense its interests. it is a g o strategic position to defend, just like france does. what africans are looking for today is a way to effectively strengthen their autonomy from the great powers, but also to be able to acquire many more advantages for their development. there is a storm of harsh criticism from israelis and poles following the ukrainian parliament's decision to celebrate the birthday of stuff and been dara and infamous ukrainian. who collaborated with the nazis during world war 2. a tweet which praise mendera was quickly deleted after an outcry of anger online. we are extremely critical of any glorification or even mention of bond error. i have no words for outraged at any action that praises or honor is those responsible for the crimes and virginia. between 100200000 both died at the hands of ukrainians. at the time it was genocide

and we will never forget it. vandella was the murderer of responsible for the genocide of poles in 1943 to 1944. when you p, a troops horribly killed about a 100000 polish civilians. there of the routers tweet, references st. upon bend era, 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 thunder. i would have hated a democratic liberal ukraine. he would be the 1st in line to assist tonight. it's jewish president, the controversial commemoration was posted by the ukrainian rata in a now deleted tweet. the post depicted the chief of ukraine's armed forces, posing in front of a portrait of the notorious figure, a quote by band dera,

urging to fight for ukraine's independence from the soviet union was also used in the tweets steppin ban. dara actively collaborated with nazi germany during the 2nd world war. he was the leader of the radical terrorist wing of the organisation of ukrainian nationalist group, which took part in numerous mass killings, including the brutal slaughter of an estimated $100000.00 poles. the war era massacre has been labeled a genocide by the polish government, georgia them while a senior research fellow at the global policy institute thank tank, says the international community does not pay enough attention to been deborah's revival in ukraine. it's very kind of, you know, half way. yeah. well this isn't probably the right way to do it. there is no outrage as they should be. outrage over the celebration of a man responsible for hundreds of thousands of that of their own countrymen. not just what he did to the jews, not just what the russians the own people,

the rehabilitation of been there has been going on at the ferocious space ever since the orange revolution of 2004 holeman knows very well that this is ongoing. and yet, it uses to look the other way. sometimes it's so embarrassing, as with, in the case of this tweet that they have to say something publicly. but it's a measure of the intensity of the rustle. phobia is a measure of the intensity of the rustle, phobic nato organization, that poland actually is willing to go along with this with a man who was responsible for the master of their own countrymen. hundreds of thousands of their own countrymen. and they willing to look the other way and continue to live the other way just in order to keep in with the the natal agenda. and before we go, 2022 was filled with global events that are shaping the future of the world,

but also numerous lips of the tongue and trash talk by world leaders. even though most of them are not meant to be seen or heard by the public eye or ear, we present to you our best fix of political hop. mike's mm mm mm mm mm mm. mm mm. in the, in the, in the.
