done things differently. yes, absolutely. do i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything with this? should this ship is equipped with the latest dessert con hypersonic missile system, which has no analogues. vladimir putin sends off for a gay armed with nuclear capable hypersonic missiles on combat duty to the atlantic and indian ocean with british intelligence as spying on russian forces on behalf. that's according to speak, where it leaked documents published by news outlet grey zone. despite a peace field between t grey rebels and ethiopia signed last november, the region biggest hospital pleads for help over medicine supply shortages and washington post twitter to find any russian connection to us selection. even after

the media giant tried and failed to find any evidence with hello and good morning for martine, are national studios in mob, though, and from wherever you may be watching. welcome to this hours, most vital news stories from around the globe. i'm fear elizabeth vladimir putin has attended an online naval ceremony with the admiral gorge club ship entering, active combat duty. the frigate is equipped with the latest hypersonic anti ship missile system, with the russian president, pointing to its uniqueness. it's michelle. this is equipped with the latest zircon hypersonic missile system, which has no analogues mean. it is also equipped with other latest generation weapon system. as i said, it has, you know, analog elsewhere. the worse which such powerful weapons will reliably protect

russia from potential external threats. it will help to ensure the national interests of ours and then even to submit according to russia's defense minister. the frigate will take a long voyage across the atlantic and indian oceans, as well as the mediterranean sea survey show, who also says, assert con hypersonic missiles are impervious to any attacks against them. the missiles are capable of flying at 9 times the speed of sound with a rage of more than 1000 kilometers. due to its speed and agility, the zircon can carry out high precision strikes and is very difficult to counter. our t corresponded sophia nunez, takes a closer look at the new russian weapon. president vladimir putin joined the launch ceremony, or frigate admiral gorse gulf on wednesday. russia's defense minister se gay schlagel, who was also in attendance, announced that the worship that this armed with hypersonic circle and missiles will

sail to ins in an atlantic ocean, as well as mediterranean sea, with the goal of a quote countering rushes, threads and maintaining peace. and stability together with friendly countries. the defense minister also noted dead. the cruel will perform combat exercises including a launching circle on yourselves at circle and is one of several hypersonic rockets on the development in russia. it can fly at 9 times the speed of sound and can be used against both shapes and ground targets. in addition to circling his house and when you sent for it, the shipple gary, a caliber complex's air defense systems are beat a weapons. and artillery was this launch has already caused what seems to be mass panic in the west by this news shouldn't have commerce surprise. at the end of december, president fulton announced that the frigate, armed with hypersonic circle, and missiles will enter service in january 2023. and now is it we discuss the significance of the new russian weapon with defense analysts,

gregory copley and former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, the zircon missile. i especially when projected forward. ready you know, through deployment gives the russians the ability to project destructive firepower, you know, deep into europe, into the united states and anywhere it deploys the bottom line is no matter when the system was going to be deployed. it was going to shake up the balance of power in the world. you know, people who think the de zircon is simply a nuclear weapon or wrong, is there con, missile can carry a 300 pound, a high explosive warhead, which, when delivered with precision, was destroy anything. it touches and there's no air defense system in the world, right. now that can, it's a counter to this missile. so if the missiles fired, it will hit what it's aimed at. it will destroy what it's aimed at. and there's nothing the west can do. that the deployment of the ship is russia's way,

saying that whatever the west thinks it's going to do, it will not come without a significant cause. the chinese have hypersonic mrs. they weighed them for many years. russia now has a new naval hypersonic missile and the west has nothing that the that, that, that approaches this capability. most of the western, well, a sees the russian technology as being more advanced and more deployable. exec on is sending one of the most capable any ship missiles in the world, and it has no effective counter measures as of yet, it's going to be symbolically prestigious for russian navy deployments worldwide. and i think is the most important factor. i'll this deployment of the eval gosh, cough are coming at into the atlantic and into the indian ocean. in other words, away from his time based on the northern fleet. and this will show the flag and only very significant politically and strategically for russia though,

definitely this is the, the pacing threat for the western navies. and certainly the, the deployment. now, i'll national deployment of desert on any ship missiles on the new annual voice call. class frequency is going to be very, very significant for western navies to consider. o, british military intelligence in collusion with a u. s. tech company is spying on russian forces and apparently sharing the data with ukraine, helping its troops target the russian army. those are the claims made by news outlet gray zone, which has published leak classified documents. according to the report, a u. s. firm called anomaly sakes is providing intel on russian military movements in real time using smartphone tracking devices. the data is allegedly sent to british intelligence via the private military group prevail partners and is then handed over to ukraine to help its army target. russian forces

through aggressive harvesting of data, the technology has enabled the planning of military offensives in artillery attacks, assassinations, asset recruitment, and other measures. the leaked files raised serious questions about whether anomaly 6, a technology has been used throughout the ukraine conflict in an array of targeted operations against specific individuals in infrastructure. if it has britain bears ultimate responsibility for the outcome of these disturbing actions, which in some cases amount to crimes against humanity. this isn't the 1st time the greys own has exposed the involvement of the u. k. intelligence agencies in the ukraine conflict back in october, the outlet revealed that prior to the deadly terror attack on the crimean bridge, see your british intelligence officers drafted an elaborate plan to blow up the crossing using specially trained ukrainian troops in a separate report, the greys own also cited obtained documents revealing plans by british military

intelligence to train covert ukrainian troops with instructions to attack other russian targets in crimea. kate clambered editor of the grey zone and the journalists behind these reports says innocent civilians could fall victim to ukrainian attacks. committed with u. k. intelligence. step up. this is where the one you said is the precise targeting would be necessary in the murder of diarrhea due to fire a terrorist cup of talking moscow. so obvious question about whether this technology such murder is now there is been no consideration of the limits or restrictions, but london places shall be the crime. these files make pretty clear that there is none. i'm trying to do or anything like that. it's highly specific and tug, but if there is also a higher risk for the cation district mean,

innocent russian innocent brains were wrongly identified, and the soldiers were spot for collaborators. interactive was saying that context, this is almost inevitably go to me to that desk, or indeed, that capture and torture the pregnancy compunction about brutal consequences to capture war. telling the mass which is a great war growing. if the 60 serious is killed as a result of that, when that completely is the counselor could be quite something the biggest hospital in the war torn t gray region is sounding the alarm over medicine supply shortages. that's this by a peace agreement that was signed at the end of last year between the government and the t great people's liberation front. nothing has changed even after the peace agreement. the federal government is not supplying the much needed medicines,

including laboratory agents to the hospital. the hospital has been complaining over the lack of essential medicines since october of last year. meanwhile, the united nations has warned its still doesn't have access to the tea gray region saying the peace agreement has in yet resulted in full access to desperate people. a local reporter picks up the story. it began as t gray regional elections in defiance of addis ababa and turned into one of the biggest conflicts on the continent. ethnic diversity collapsed into instability, bloodshed, displacement and malnutrition, among many other hardships suffered by civilians. on the 2nd anniversary of the conflict, if you appear and t grain officials made to decide on the way forward that would bring hope, preservation of life, and ultimately piece to the wit, ravaged regent. now rush, expressed, resolute, and unwavering support for ethiopia. based on the principle of african independence,

foreign, a russian minister lover of highlighted the conflict was if you of his internal affairs and that moscow supported the ethiopian governments. if it's to resolve it, the west, on the other hand, announced in may of 2022. that it would impose economic and security sanctions on the country, bringing in visa restrictions on if you pin and a retreat and government officials, as well as members of security forces. thus bringing domestic issues to the international arena. the humanitarian crisis and to grey is more than ukraine without any exaggeration. and i said this many months ago, maybe the reason is the color of the skin of the people and to gray. this is the worst disaster on earth as we speak. i'm from to gray is not because i'm from to gray, that i'm saying this, that is the truth. in october of 2020, to both edison ever and my kelly sifted an invitation to partake in peace talks

facilitated by the african union here in south africa. the high level talks we're a brokerage, my foreman, i fear in statesman, or the skin of assange, or former president of kenya, who is, who are kinyata, and the former deputy president of south africa palm see them ramble. moved up despite the political cloud fighting on the battlefield, it seemed to intensify but a weakened to the peace talks. the parties finally agreed on a situation of hostilities made his world wide, cheered for the peace agreement that entailed orderly, smooth, and co ordinated, disarmament and restoration of law and order. thus raising hopes for an end to the humanitarian crisis. they grew in marks. an important stop and efforts to silence the guns and provides a solid foundation for the preservation of ethiopia, sovereignty and territorial integrity. the immediate cessation of hostilities, the resumption of an hinder to monitor and access the restoration of services as well as helen and reconciliation. while the ukraine conflict has been dubbed an era

defining crisis by the west, the un confirming of a 6000 civilian deaths. by december of 2022. the numbers in ethiopia higher with as many as 600000 civilians having died in the t gray violence, according to researchers from belgium's agend university. the inaccurate figures are down to deliberate blackouts in the region that make it difficult to confirm the exact numbers of deaths caused by direct killings or lack of access to health care. as well as the estimated 20000000 facing salvation and thousands of women and children who have endured sexual violence, this is likely the largest and dig his conflict of the year. so how is it that an injustice of this magnitude could go unnoticed? does the answer lie in the west perception of a conflict? then one thing that has kept me very busy in bed is sharia. ready? frustrated it. c o b o. o. not enough people talk about it.

we don't doug gala de la griffey olivia. yes. from time to reply, wender is a b c discussions. the t gray people's liberation front dominated politics in the region for over 30 years, causing instability, which ultimately led to the conflicts escalation, but through co operation and great concerts if it africa and its people have for now managed to overcome the difficulties. and although the road ahead still requires much work to be done, the says proved that with his will. the certainty is away at home saw me for artesia, hence big renown french actor. omar c has sparked controversy in his home country after suggesting that the many years of bloodshed in africa have received far less international attention than the conflict in ukraine. ukraine was not a shocking revelation for me. as i have family elsewhere in africa,

i know that there have always been children at war, broken families and parents who lose kids, others who become orphans. does that mean that when it's conflict in africa you're less affected me? i feel threatened in the same way when it's in iran or in ukraine. the reactions did not take long. the poor in french politicians were quick to start raging against the star of the untouchables, pointing out that he himself seems to care little about conflicts in africa. there are 58 french soldiers who died and so hell fighting against the jihadists. no o marcy, the french are not less affected by what is happening in africa. some gave their lives so that millions could stop being threatened by terrorists. the showbiz charlotte or marcia comes to give lessons when he was never interested in wars in africa and never nailed down for old the african victims of islamist attacks. despite the sharp, responds,

statistics speak for themselves with over 20000000 children in the horn of africa, malnourished and that number growing every month. that's according to a recent united nations children's funds report. this comes as the west prepares, another $45000000000.00 a package to ukraine to be delivered this year. geopolitical analysts jo longer says western countries are turning a blind eye to africa, struggles a m, you will see when the russian operation happened in your k go a lot of a for you create a pay us through social media. nobody really because of a, one of the longest sports in carson, a lot of was, was a leak. there was war. people in positions in football start to speak

out. unfortunately, in the countries those countries, whatever they are in the worst, they will get it like that. so i'm not, so 1st of all, unfortunately, not the russian or publishing. it's a quarter to publish. what is in africa. it's an invasion in africa where the common lute and took all this resources to the west, and then they come pick to say, a one percent of it. so it is right when you say, it's unfortunate that the whole countries you know, with, don't want to hear the truth that come from africans. and he's right. i believe he had to say that based on the fact that the student that wants to want to feed the world what they want to feel the web about, they want their narrative, the, with the washington pressure twitter to find

a russian connection to the u. s. elections, even after the platform tried and failed to discover any such evidence that's according to the latest batch of lead documents from investigative journalists, matt t i. e. b, the revelations detail advanced before you on most recent takeover of the social media platform. finished with investigation 2500 full manual account reviews. we think this is exhaustive. $32.00 suspicious accounts and only 17 of those are connected with russia. only 2 of those have significant spend one of which is russia today. you'll recall back in 2016. how there was all this hysteria in american media that somehow russia had meddled in the election that was responsible for donald trump. victory? well, twitter was in dialogue with the intelligence agencies with the f, b i, and others. they were being told about all of this russian meddling, they had to deal with cetera. but they came forward with the result that did not

match the media area. here's what they came forward about their own research about their own platform. twitter search finding only 2 significant accounts, one of which is russia today, was based on the same data that leader inspired. panic headlines like russian influence reached 126000000 through facebook alone. the failure of the russia task force to produce material worse and the company's p r crisis. so the u. s. congress responded that the threat of regulation, and there was a lot of pressure placed on twitter in order to find what the intelligence agencies and the american media claimed was there. they were basically being pressed and threatened, and almost forced to produce results that did not match reality. let's continue with what's been revealed as congress threatened costly legislation and twitter was subject to more bad press, healed by the committees. the company changed its tune about the smallness of its

rush or problem. the cycle threatened legislation wedded to scare headlines pushed by congressional until sources followed by twitter caving to moderation asks, would later be formalized in partnerships with federal law enforcement set to relax its restrictions on politic advertising. now these are restrictions that were put in place amid this hysteria and were expecting to see a change in policy with twitter regarding political advertising in the coming weeks . now, please keep in mind, this is just the latest of so many revelations that com sense ilan mosque to control and twitter. they revealed quite a bit of meddling in the u. s. political process, not by russia, but by us social media giants in coordination with the u. s. intelligence corporation and the intelligence apparatus. quite, quite shocking. what's been revealed so far? looking back, there seemed to be absolutely no reason to suspect our tea of any misdeeds. as

twitter itself made as substantial offer to our tea back in 2016 for an extensive advertisement campaign. on the platform, we published evidence illustrating twitters proposed ad strategy with possible benefits for the channel that are t turned down for mercy. a analysts larry johnson says there's no accountability in washington over the failure to find anything to substantiate. the notorious russia gate hoax is remarkable that the amount of psychological projection that is going on here and what i mean by that. ready is that the united states accuses russia of what the united states is doing. and in fact, russia was not interfering or meddling in the u. s. election. it was the washington d. c. establishment. the democratic party has no credibility and it has become again, it's just, it's good at taking care of its own and making sure everybody that plays with them

gets rewarded. they get a pay on you and the republicans have the loss was adapted to us and that was, that's the speaks of it. there are still some principal people within the republican party and you're seeing some of them today who are opposing the election of kevin mccarthy. is the speaker of the house. so this is this concept of accountability. it needs to take place, but that's the problem with washington. there is no accountability for miss deeds because you've heard the, the lies repeated that it was russia doing this in russia doing that. so musk is that he's putting his money where his mouth is, and i applaud him for that. the u. s. democratic party used false allegations against moscow to put twitter in line by this story and more on our website at r t dot com. and as the new year begins, one of the world's biggest crypto scandals continues the person responsible for

what are the most crippling single day loss of assets in history has pleaded not guilty to fraud related charges. same bakeman fried has been released on bail until his trial kicks off in october. this year. are t contributor christopher and takes a closer look at the downfall of his crypto empire. billions of dollars missing debauchery in the bahamas, massive fraud. these are just some of the revelations that we know of surrounding the collapse of f t x. the crypt exchange led by the now infamous sam bagman fried i k s b s. he initially tried to peddle a world that f t x. it's simply mislabeled $10000000000.00 on their balance sheet as an explanation for the missing funds. we didn't secretly transfer. we had confusing internal labeling and misread it. but it wasn't too long before his story with unraveling catch up with him. eventually extradited from his pos home in the bahamas, the face federal charges in the u. s. astonishingly. u. s. federal judge decided to

allow his release during the arraignment. in spite of overwhelming evidence against him. he just needed to pony up $250000000.00 for it. get out of jail card f t x and it fits the trading for me to read. such a relates to co mingled customer funds and use them in a high stakes casino style strategy. stating the money on extremely high risk investments and trading according to us. so forty's, i, holy, irresponsible, and highly illegal acts. but the plot thickens. s b s. parents who happen to be to the us, the top technology compliance lawyers, have a history of donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to the democratic party. some would say it was only natural that as their son became a more or less overnight billionaire, he would follow in the family footsteps. the f t x found the gave more than $990000.00 to democratic candidates, according to us, faith trucking and jo open secrets,

and another $38800000.00 lobby groups. this pales in comparison to the $235000.00 that he donated to republican candidates. that's in spite of his claims to the contrary, i donated to both parties. i donated about the same amount to both parties. as this game of jenny got started to come to an end, user started to withdraw their funds from the thinking platform, causing a proverbial run on the bank. this came as crypt of exchange by an i'm a behemoth of the crypto world announced the liquidation of $400000000.00 from f t at his own crypto currency. s t t. fx attempted to sell that business to buy naps, but that offer was rebuffed after a day of the due diligence with a potential suit to saying that the company was to tango did a bob mess to get involved as a result of corporate due diligence as well as the latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and alleged us agency investigations, we have decided that we will not pursue the potential acquisition of f t x dot com
