an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. good to civilians are imported in kill them. 2 files dominating 20 showing of infrastructure in dunlab is that more people are trapped under the rubble cache of lead documents reported by the great news and how it says how the british intelligence spies on russian forces on behalf of ukraine. violation of free speech and the right from jennifer. our reference form is the display, the intention of retail direct to make music and see by authorities in south africa wants to learn more countries join the bricks group as it seems,

the blog rotating presidency this year. we promise is to promote a where ever you are in the world. welcome towards international time, right? i mean it's just $180.00 and gmc, today we have a round up of the top stories. however, we have some breaking news. justin to civilians have been reported killed in ukrainian tax on energy infrastructure and the dentist republic ukrainian forces are believed her fired at the 6 us high miles rock. there's a rural town. the public fear that victims could be trapped under the rubble. another attack was with a ukrainian miss. i was intercepted by russian air defenses. report say to pounds were damaged by the crazy offensive,

but follows intense fighting between ukrainian and russian ships throughout the 1st week of this year, including devastating attack on russian barracks, the domestic republic. the artillery barrage by ukrainian forces using us equipped highmark. shortly after midnight on new year's day killing 89 russian troops, most is definitely a said, it will provide all necessary assistance to the victims, families, ukrainian forces report the use mobile phone data to target the facility as soldiers that tempted to cool relatives during the holiday hours late, so russian with on offensive $3020.00 military base packs with ammunition and high mas broke, it launches more than $100.00 soldiers was killed in the strike, which was captured laura by french television cruise. his footage of the incidents

also for the week, they were mostly finance out on residential areas in dumb bus, with 4 civilians killed another 14 wounded. as dozens of apartment buildings were destroyed, dislikes violated the orthodox christmas truce, offered by russia. we heard from local residences, the ukrainian forces, deliberately fire viewed areas to chose you. somebody do a street was bumped here yesterday to women were injured, but thank god, now seriously, there's also house there, of course, destroy them like this every day. my aunt was killed a week ago on a neighboring street. you live right across the street and just bird has with the record heat the house directly. it's nightmare here. ukrainian army on the bomb civilians because there's no military and no warehouses. russia, ford has responded to those attacks on civilian areas with retaliatory strike from

ukraine. energy infrastructure and military facilities, air raid sirens could be heard throughout the country. moscow reported a 100 of key. the troops were killed and dozens of times and the elements vehicles were destroyed. ukraine's laura that has allegedly been supported by the british military intelligence in collaboration with the u. s. tech firm. but i was looking into a cache of the documents reported by the grazer news outlet. it says the u. k. provides data for queues forces to attack russian troops through aggressive harvesting of data. the technology has enabled the planning of military offensives in artillery attacks, assassinations, asset recruitment, and other measures delete 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. the report for you as firm called anomaly 6 has been providing info on russian military movements in real time using smartphone trucking devices. the data is allegedly sent to the british until this wire, the private min, she group prevail partners and is then handed over to train to help is all a target. russian forces gray zone. it is a kit karen burg says those bridge and tell the tip offs could lead to collateral damage using a normally 6 the technology, the defense intelligence. and she said that she extension the ukrainian military can very easily identify the small firms of very individuals, you know, where it is. they are civilian military or has it's for the specific and tug.

there is also a higher risk or institution. this might be why barrier was was mad, but yeah, it could mean innocent, rushed to be innocent. brains were wrong identified and the soldiers were starting for collaborators. and then guess, i mean not to was saying context is almost inevitably go to lead to that, that or indeed, that capture and torture pregnancy compunction about the brutal consequences to capture war kingdom or mass, which is a great war, cry and serious if it's killed as a result of this, when that completely is i think they get the counselor attack could be quite something whether this isn't the 1st time the grace has reported on involvement of

you came to the just agencies in the ukraine conflicts back in october. the outlet said that prior to the deadly attack on the crime in bridge c, a british intelligence officer and let's it be often elaborate, plan to blow up the critical infrastructure in a separate report. the grades and also said in obtain documents revealing implies by the british military intelligence to train co cleaning troops with instructions to attack other russian fathers in crimea. the great kid car again says some house lack account to burn, see the consequences of the hours of operations against russia. there has been no iteration of the limits or restrictions, but london traces shall be the crown. these false make pretty clear that there is none of you trying to do or anything like should be helped every step way. what

prevent prevail heavily involved in the blood bridge explanation. and what did you guys actually have? there's 0 recognition or b only. all of these to every month, another european implicated in style of the activities of activation. john, this is a civil civil civil society widely and there is 0 accountability and there is no consideration of what happens in the doors box. and that was anyone used to use equipment typically reserved for. ready for intelligence agencies, or indeed yes on to something really, really needs to meet needs to be done about this just for the sake of innocent people in the far but also the governments and become companies that will be consequences down the line. so she is out south africa, said the british group of countries, which also includes brazil, russia, india,

and china should admit more members of a prominent position on the world stage. south africa has assumed a rotating chairmanship over the book. this year, the correspondent caterpillar tap has the details from dyersburg the law and the youngest member to join the bricks group of nations. south africa is again taking over the chairmanship of the club. 2023 will be the 3rd time that the african powerhouse takes the rings following successful hostings. in 20132018 ever did before. south africa is expected to bring along, not only the neighboring countries from the south african development community, but also the greater sub saharan africa community to. there will be high level meetings, conferences and summits through this championship, which will all focus on sustainable development. but what does that really mean in

real terms? if there's an opportunity not only to advance so a national interest, but also to advance the interest of the collector of 5 countries, as well as the interest of the global on various brands. including advancing the african agenda because bricks has always been above south africa and the african continent when we have the opportunity to check. so we will use our chair shipped to bird on the successes of past presidents in addressing some of the key. ready challenges that we are facing, the ongoing challenges facing the global economy, the economy, 5 countries, south africa will be aiming to advance not only the bricks agenda and the role which the new development bank should play. but also the role that the brakes should and can play on the continent. last year,

south africa amplified the call for the african union to be made a permanent member of the g, 20 group of nations. and the very interest that both china and russia having on the continent are proving that, that question, once again, it's not out of place. so countries and when we're looking at expansion of breaks, it will be looked at from the perspective of sovereign nation, wanted to join bricks and looking at how we can take that process. ready what does it as a as breaks lead. ready instructed us to do so. it's a different scenario. you already have a president within the g. 20 were regional organization being in union. he's a member. so there's a good case for the african union to become that 2022 was a year of a major geopolitical shift spread on by the ukraine conflict. but it also sent free the idea of a multi polar wold following by decades of western union polarity represented by

the g 7. but last year i also showed a growing group of countries like saudi arabia, algeria, egypt, to turkey. and many more than i came to join and become part of the alternative to the west indies, you paul chrissy and narrative. but brief should expect a rebuttal. they will not be thinking that will be business as usual because particularly in an african context, african countries are united in their quest for power, for energy, for climate justice. and i think these are the issues that they look are no longer looking at the wish for they are looking eastward because solutions will be coming from the as this formation becomes will fall. and south africa has a stronger voice within the g 7. i'm no longer the most important largest global economy, china and india. i rank amongst the top 7 global economy is today. you can take not

these. and so you have major economies from the global self that are growing faster pace. if you also look at the predictions of global growth in 2023, it's not very positive. but if you look at what the, i'm have i m f and world bank predicted in terms of global growth. the countries of the global assault including bricks, countries will not grow to space while a number of countries we're going to recession this year. in its 15th year of partnership and co operation. 2023 will be the year that bricks from pell's it story forward. the club has not had a new member since south africa back in 2011. the growing double speak of western countries has seen many global south countries. crow, wary and eager to find an alternative. 2023 is finally here, and with it,

a chance at a more bigger and powerful breaks gonzalez's party, enjoining violation of free speech and the rights of journalists. but how russia describe the detention, the regional director of the sputnik newsagents used by authorities in latvia. the journalist mara cassim is a lat vin citizen. he was detained on charges of violating ease sanctions. i think or for that one goes. it says this is part of a broader e crackdown on media outlets that haven't followed in lock step was the blocks official narratives. the freedom of expression, then press, but once sacred, they are founding principles of the union, protected by the, the treaties of the european union, the charter, a fundamental rights and the european convention on human rights as close to gospel

as law can get. every one has the right to freedom of expression. this right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority. and regardless of frontier us, the freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected. but these principles, these values have been sick for years. they've been die in spanish, crackdowns in barcelona, in poland, as the government monopolized the press in eastern europe. where it had been building up for years and old began many years ago and 2016. when latvia blocked sputnik online, just she's the domain address, no frills. then they began harassing and threatening journalists. e. u. nationals who worked for sputnik with jail time,

with sentences prosecution that detain them for talks with security age and state security agents then came arrests and persecution level the british slit. it would take me several hours to simply name all the journalists of come under pressure in eastern europe. here is just one of my own stories, in brief. so back in 2019, i was detained, that villainous airport, searched and questioned for 5 or 6 hours to state security officers performed a role play of good cop bad cop. the bad one shouted at me, you're working for chisels. why did you come here? the other one asked me, you're a latvian citizen, so why are you working for them? you know, they are the, you're not really people as rush as a peculiar country, only. finally, he said, you're lucky, you're not a russian citizen, or we wouldn't be having a very different conversation. and now we'll just kick you out and close the border for you for 5 years. come on for reference, mar, i've cass m is an e. u national,

a laughing and citizen. all he did is she worked for years as editor in chief of sputnik lithuania. one of his work is online. there's nothing crazy there. you'll find strange stuff with g n n. he now faces, decades behind bars, charged with violating sanctions because he worked for russians and reportedly espionage because why not own was admitted to some of his merits can possibly lose his freedom due to allegations of violating anti russian sanctions. i missed the sanctions, are a lawful, as well as the arrest. this is lawlessness in europe when a person can be arrested for his journalistic work opinion or the information he provides. there can be even harsher chargers, such as espionage or trees and some we've dealt with this before and we shouldn't rule out such dark perspectives and of up roscoe, luca for that matter which affects every gen less because if anybody can be taken

in custody for their opinion and be charged with espionage which is not uncommon these days and nobody safe. so all people should stand together in this situation. america, sam did not violate any laws. he did his job as a journalist, legally. he provided you and advice information and hid nothing from what kind of spies a person who works in the public eye for the media and hides nothing. the accusations are false and we need to understand this. there are people who will be overjoyed. those who believe that any opinion, but there's all ones that they agree with should be removed and censored. the soviet union was, was big in this centering on the hiding on restricting and we all know how that turned out. you cannot restrict expression at was once the european union's mantra, how ironic looked at them now. terrorizing journalists are writing things in a way. they don't like to think that that these people once lectured the

world. i think it's a continuation of western hypocrisy, and more specifically this campaign, the specific campaign of censoring any sort of information coming from russia point of view, or anyone agreeing with russia's point of view. and this is essentially shutting down. what the west has always claimed that stood for freedom of speech and they do it under increasingly ambiguous and irrational grounds. it absolutely is a violation of international law, just one of the, the pillars of what the u. s. claims. the international rules based order is the self proclaimed leader of and yet it has done the most it's and it's like they've done the most to demolish these pillars. one by one, freedom of the press being one of the news news organizations like r t, r,

rates off of youtube. and this is all, i think, a fine of desperation and weakness on the west part. they cannot afford. busy alternative narratives and alternative points of view entering into the conversation because they have no way to defend their own point of view. i mean from an engine news that russia has said it's natural gas suffice in china rising to an i'm president level this year. as the head of the russian gas from highest china as the world's most promising market for the commodity 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. ross is said, the ramp up is natural gas excellence via the power of siberia pipeline system to china with a new extension of the route called power of siberia to that's part of an effort through place capacity that had been stated for the knows fi route to you following a series of devastating solutions on that line. last year i'll see curriculum racial blevins as the details just one year ago, construction on the north stream 2 pipeline had been completed and the 11000000000 dollar project was ready for use. it's goal was to double the flow of natural gas from russia to germany. but while berlin spent years arguing in favor of the project and all of the ways it would benefit the economy, it also went into 2020, to dragging its feet on the process of certifying the pipeline that says,

germany appeared to be trying to balance. what was best for its economy with what its allies in the us actually wanted. and when it came to nordstrom to washington was very clear on where it stood. if russia evades ukraine one way or another nord stream to will not move forward, there will be no longer north steam to we will bring it in. and there was no one happier than the u. s. when germany announced it would freeze all of the work on the project in february, in response to russia's announcement that it would officially recognize the independence of the don nascar lugens people's republics. while the flow on north street one continued to be reduced with russia, citing a host of maintenance problems that were impacted by western sanctions. nordstrom to state out of the headlines for months. that was up until late september, when both pipelines were crippled with explosives right on the sea bed in international waters near denmark and sweden and investigation was launched the

next day. but here's the thing gas prop, which is the owner of the pipeline, was not allowed near the western lud prob, raising questions of its legitimacy. and those weren't the only question surfacing, especially as a former to friends and foreign minister from poland, took a twitter to write quote, thank you usa with a photo showing the aftermath of the damage. in fact, russia wasn't the only one calling it sabotage. several western officials were doing the same with the prime minister of denmark, even saying it was hard to imagine that it was an accident. at the danish, socrates has said that this, this is not an accident. this is something that someone has planned to do in the economic, so sweet and then the market. but despite the questions of who would benefit from such destruction, the western media made their verdict on day one and continued to stick to it.

russia is most likely behind this. i'm 99 percent. certain of the only people in that region who have both the motives and the capability to have done it are russian or russian forces who sabotaged ignored stream to pipeline the russians. they of course, didn't seem to consider that if russia wanted to take action, it arguably could have just stopped the flow of natural gas from its end instead of causing extensive damage to the pipeline is spent billions of dollars building. and there was very little set about the evidence that came to light in the days after the incident, which included the revelation that nato had conducted special exercises back in june. that just happened to be near the area the pipelines were damaged just a few months later. tom was born when nader exercises using d. c. equipment were also held there and would borne whole mile and area in general . the regional sales with infrastructure retail. isn't that

a factor or will know we're noting it? that also wouldn't be the 1st time as gas problem noted that back in 2015, nato apparently lost an armed underwater drone right under the north st pipeline. then there are the reports from flight radar, which showed that u. s. military helicopters circled over the northridge pipelines for hours before the explosions for several days in a row. the timing of the damage to the pipelines is also notable as it came just days after german citizens were seen taking to the streets, demanding the launch of nordstrom to, to help saved them from soaring energy prices. and speaking of high prices and who benefits from the profits, u. s. secretary of state antony blanket, wasted no time in referring to the damage as a tremendous opportunity. ultimately, this is also a tremendous opportunity. it's a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on russian energy. that's very significant. and that offers tremendous strategic opportunity

for um, for the years to come. so when she come as no surprise that that the incident was followed by an increase in sells of ellen g from the u. s. to europe. now, as for that investigation, a swedish prosecutor determined that the damage to the pipeline was in fact sabotaged the attack on russia's energy infrastructure and the impact it will have all across europe was referred to as international terrorism by russia's president who blamed the u. k for carrying it out yet so many. if there are no road northeast, there is no doubt that this is an act of international terrorism aim to undermine the energy security of an entire cotton. in the logically a cynical to block sources of cheap energy and force them to buy a much higher price of cellulite, is clear who is behind this, and who is the beneficiary. but it is now possible to oppose liquefied natural gas from the united states. on to european countries on a large scale,

which is clearly less competitive with russian pipeline grass. ok. so what action was taken in response? well, nothing so far from the west was sweden, claiming that there is still quote, no information yet to indicate who may be behind this action. but it has not been forgotten. and it was just the start of a number of other attacks targeting russian infrastructure. all of which sent the message that if there's anything we've learned from 2022 is that nothing is off limits, no matter the dangerous precedent. it sets from energy, nancy economy. this past year was marked by a wave of global economic mishaps, particularly hot. it was the growing 3rd currency industry which suffered losses of more than a trillion dollars. the value of the full most crypto currency bitcoin plummeted from extraordinary high. it was $70000.00 for coin. this period, the previous year around 16000 dollars last year that precipitated the collapse of

the major trading platform f t. x is former director is now facing extensive broad charges. the crypto crash has also been attributed version to risk investments made rising inflation and tougher monetary policies, particularly in the us. entrepreneur bar middleman says a future crypto will vary from country to country. depending on the individual approaches to digital currencies. go home, i will try to make the most relations and the countries europe, me delete some. erica, what may happen is that the regulation may become more sick in $11.00 region and the to make says the less likely to operate from there. and then just make it also comes is more appealing to operate their businesses from. so i don't think

it will that affect the, the global business 1st, but it surely will affect the local businesses and, and may make them less likely to continue operate. do not, instead of america, you can see they're going to print like billions of money and just end it out. so many projects in many countries, for me it means the inflation is going to continue on. rising. russia will come into getting crypto more friendly and also developing some kind of fancy gratian between banks, where the people will be able to integrate the group of payment into their bank account out. and this way, make their people more ability to make businesses with all the countries, even the ones while the rest of this is the legally back on the top of the hour. in

the meantime, be sure to check out. com and follow us on rumble. with the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with.
