but cannot be said. while the federal supreme court has also been targeted by the protesters, why attorneys are clashing with police there are calling for the military to get the flu. lemme last week. protests were held against the arrest of an indigenous leader who called for acts of civil disobedience against the brazilian president. wanna show you this to some protesters film, crashing with police and beating officers with sticks as you can make us here in this on verified video, we should say we're cried sir. run. did a police officer mounted on horseback? he's trying to hold on, but the crowds push him off his tours. the chilean president, voice his concerns about the right saying he's ready to send special forces to help his brazilian counterparts contain protest. argentina's leader has also offered his

ukrainian, law enforcement have been digging out for grades in the secretaries in the article for region grades to belong to people that died of natural causes. and not only that, russian ministry saying bad the people who are digging out those grades, this figuring the people are the orchestra and, and they're taking those courses and putting, putting them into other math grades nearby. and that they're already documenting that. now they said they started doing that on that christmas eve. they rush north of christmas and other words from the 6 to the 7th of december and the moments they already brought. so cold investigators and criminal experts and also witnesses. they're taking pictures in

the trying to imitate the fact that the people of them were tortured by a russian military. of course that is very, very reminiscence. one word a last year in the city of boucher, that's in the northwestern ukraine now. that city was under control of your russian armed forces by then due to a progress at that point in negotiation between russia, ukraine, a russian forces are retreated from boucher and was left a few days later ukraine started coming out. so with the footage that there were a lot of corpses and bodies on the streets, there were a mass graves at that point. so they said that this is all, this was the deed, all the russian, the military. and they presented absolutely no facts and that was immediate. it's all white, western media, both mainstream media,

social networks as well. without any proof with rush hold on. no rush has been denied. all of those like stations, obviously, russian for security council meeting at the un, which was that when it up by the united kingdom. but russia was refused any type of investigation any, any say in that bus or 42, all the evidence so that russia has had at that point answer. i think the left boucher, it points out to the fact that this was a false flag, alteration and all of those atrocities were actually committed by ukraine. and of course, that is no surprise either because it, during this special with russia, had left a couple of places and right away you credit for it began there. so tracy, many vehicles,

the videos who have been accused of collaboration with russia have disappeared and have been found that so now rush defense are saying that you great is preparing another old flag operation of that which happens in boucher. now the only thing remains to see at this point, so whether the world at least this time, we'll see what you crave. this is attempting to the meanwhile, on sunday, russia said hundreds of ukrainian soldiers had been killed. and what i had called a retaliatory operation for a key of deadly new year's eve strike on the city of my cave, which claimed the lives of 89 russian soldiers in response to the criminal attacks of the key regime. on the 1st of 2023, in the city of my case, the russian military organized the retaliation operation. locations of the military

forces were found in climate tours and more than $600.00 soldiers were killed to process. all their latest on verified footage appears to show the aftermath of moscow's operation. according to the russian m. o. d. the ukrainian forces were located into university dormitories. the retaliation comes after kiev shell. the city of mackay, of using us supplied high mars rockets on new years eve. 2 of those rockets were intercepted by russian ur defenses, but for head 3rd targets killing scores of russian troops. and staying with the latest reports from the russian military mission, 50 service men have been freed from ukrainian captivity and have now arrived back in moscow. for a prisoner swap, was negotiated with here. according to the ministry of defense, the russian m. o. d. c, the troops had been in mortal danger under set to receive treatments and rehab homes. also,

local officials say ukrainian forces fired at least 6 us supplied. hi maurice rockets out. a rural tone in the done the, it's republican. some day. 2 people have been confirmed killed while another 2 are believed to be trumped under the rubble, while nearby to their ukrainian missile was reportedly intercepted by russian ur defenses. but to power plants were damaged. ukrainian forces are allegedly being helped by british military intelligence in collaboration with the u. s. tech firm. that's according to a cache of lead documents reported by the great news outlet. it saves the u. k. provides data for a key as forces to fight 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. the leaked files raise 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. yet you heard it there, the reports they to you as a firm called anomaly sick salisbury, providing intel on russian military movements in real time. the data is allegedly center, british intelligence volley that private military group prevail partners and then handed over to ukraine. we discussed the revelations with gray zone editor kit thornburg using anomaly 6, the technology, the defense intelligence. and she said that she extension the ukrainian military can very easily identify the small firms, all of very of individuals. you know,

whether they are civilian military or has it's highly specific and tug there is also a higher risk for the case. it might be why barrier was, was mad, but yeah, it's innocent russian civilian innocence. what wrongly identify enemy soldiers was fun for collaborators. and then yes, i mean, not that was a context. this is almost inevitably go to lead to that, that, or indeed, that capture and torture pregnancy compunction about brutal consequences to capture war kingdom or mass, which is a great war, crying if you've missed serious, you know, if it's killed as a result of when that complete yes,

i think that that yes, the counselor could be quite some well, the green zone has also previously reported only involvement of u. k. intelligence in the ukraine conflict. let's go through that, because back in october, the outlet said that prior to the deadly attack in the crimea and bridge senior british intelligence officers allegedly drafted an elaborate plum and how to blow it out. while in a separate report, the grey zone sais, it has obtained documents revealing plans by british military intelligence to train covert ukrainian troops along with ways to attack other russian targets in crimea. kit chlorine berg again said western powers are being held to account for. busy the consequences of their espionage operations against russia. there has been no iteration. all the limits for 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 should be helped every step way, but provide prevail was heavily involved in the blocks bridge explanation. and what did you go far? what actually happened or be on the all of these to almost every month. another year of getting in the music and style of the activities of activated john, this is a civil civil society more widely and there is 0 accountability and there is up to, you know, consideration what happens in the doors box. and that was anyone use use equipment typically reserved for. ready for intelligence agencies, or indeed yes, you know, 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 survey, as president said, nature has no right to reject the country's requests to send serbian security forces to call civil alexander food. surlier confirmed that the k for international peacekeeping mission, led by nato forces turned on bel grades call. they refer to resolution 1244, but they did not invoke the part of the resolution, which actually allows this action. they have no right to reject that request. we will wait, we will point out how and where in what places they did not protect the serbian population survey is defense minister has also questioned why k for responded to bel grades request on orthodox christmas eve, pointing out to it was the same day that to serbian boys were shots and wounded in

the self, the 3rd republic in a drive by shooting. and in another episode of violence, one young man was beaten while returning from midnight mouse. on christmas. following the spate of recent incident, sir, residence in kosovo gathered to protest the tax by ethnic albanians in kosovo. a large number of ca, 7 police officers were reportedly sent to the demonstration. stopping vehicles for inspection k for soldiers are also located near the entrance to the city where the protest is taking place. earlier, we discussed the peacekeeping forces decisions with european studies scholar stephanie guy is here in the studio. he says that the decision goes against international data. this is a clear violation of the resolution. 1244. it is a clear violation of the international law because once for 23 years ago, the resolution and before that the kona agreement were signed,

they are obliged to provide the serbian military and police force to re enter serving problems of causal in the door. here. the atmosphere that is being built up in which it is a legal basically, or let's say it is not punishable to to commit violence against the sir against the serbs. and i mean i, i personally blame, i've been quality and the gospel menial leadership on one hand. on the other hand, serbian government has been letting this happen for years in the sense that it was not active. now finally a since this became really unbearable for the people on the ground, it is reacting so far, diplomatically it has used installs. one of them being asking for care for to do what it is supposed to do. and that is provide the serbian forces to re enter the province. south africa said the bricks, grouping of countries,

which also includes brazil, russia, india, and china should admit more members the country assume that sherman ship of the block on the 1st of this year, they set to consider possible membership of other states which are seeking to join our tea africa correspondence, carrasco. let us reports from javascript. 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 power house pays the reins following successful hostings in 20132018. as it 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 that will be high level meetings, conferences and summits through this championship. which will our focus on sustainable

development. but what does that really mean in real terms? gives us an opportunity not only to advance our national interest, but also to advance the interest of the collector if 5 countries, as well as the interest of the global on various from including advancing the african agenda because bricks has always been about south africa. and in continent when we have the opportunity to check. so we will use our chair shipped to a bird on the successes of past presidents in addressing some of the key 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, there are 5 so countries and when we 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 the leaders ever instructed us to do? so it's a different scenario. you already have a president within the t 20, where regional organization they have been union member. so there's a good case for the african union to become that 2022 was a year of major geopolitical shift spread on by the ukraine conflict. but it also sent free the idea of a multi polled following by decades of western union polarity represented by the g

7. but last, the also showed a growing group of countries like saudi arabia, algeria, egypt, turkey, and many more that i came to join and become part of the alternative to the west, tennessee. paul chrissy and narrative. but brings 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 the quest for power or energy for climate justice. and i think these are the issues that they look are no longer looking at the wish for their looking eastward. because solutions will be coming from the as this formation becomes more powerful. and south africa has a stronger voice within the g 7. i'm no longer the most important largest global economy, china and india ranks amongst the top 7 global economies today. you can take not

these. and so you have major economies from the global cells that are growing faster. 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 south including bricks, countries will. ringback grow at the foster space while a number of countries we're going to re sessions this year. in his 15th year of partnership and co operation. 2023 will be the in the bricks from pell's it story forward. the slump has not had a new member in south africa. back in 2011. the growing level 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,

the chance at a more mega and powerful breaks got, i'm will, is that 40 in jonathan a violation of free speech on the rights of journalists. that is how russia has described the detention of the regional director of the sputnik news agency by authorities in latvia. the journalist, murat kelsen, is a lothian citizen. he was detained on charges of violating e u sanctions chronicling how this appears part of a broader e. you cracked on on media outlets that don't go along with the blocks mainstream. nora tips. here's our t senior correspondent, murat, gas div, the freedom of expression than press, but once sacred. they are founding principles of the union, protected by the, the treaties of the european union, the charter of 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 spook on lod, just sheaves. 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. mm hm. will 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 at 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 tittles. 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 there not really, people rushes, a peculiar country. finally, he said, you're lucky, you're not a russian citizen, or we would be having a very different conversation. and now we'll just kick you out and close the border for you for 5 years. a month for reference. merit cas m is an e. you national,

a laughin citizen. all he did is, 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 of stuff and she and then he now faces decades behind bars, charged with violating sanctions because he worked for russians and reportedly espionage because why not was admitted for some of his merits can possibly lose his freedom, due to allegations of violating anti russian sanctions, i mean 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 treason. some we've dealt with this before and we shouldn't rule out such dark perspectives of up roscoe luca fatima to which effect 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 say funny or so, all people should stand together in this situation. america, sam did not violate any laws who did his job as a journalist. legally, he provided, chew, 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 froze 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 sense, ring 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. look 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 bill nationally. the poor in this case is totally political espionage charges against marriage or complete nonsense pressure on journalists working in the baltic states is the standard matter. it is an obvious fact that the baltic states are a platform for testing new methods of fighting against journalists because there is an oddness in charge of violating banking. in fact, is that the european union has no sanction against spook nick. have personal sanctions against me. trained low, but it was the chief of receive subordinate media group which includes sputnik and therefore extending these personal sanctions to all the people who work. there is a strange precedent. many european human rights organizations oppose this interpretation of sanctions. the baltic states are a testing ground for lawlessness. concerning really harsh measures, such as intimidation, a ban on the profession, and criminal prosecution for journalists, latvia, stony and lithuania,

do not act on the rhone. they, as we assume, act either on direct instructions or in coordination with their superiors and the european union. and in the u. s. the accusations of espionage and the threat of imprisoning him for 20 years. as an e. u citizen are in fact a pure policy of the european union. before we go, or recap of our top story from brazil, where the president health declared a state of emergency in the capital until the end of the month. that's after hundreds of people, storm done, seize the presidential palace, national congress. the supreme court. police abuse tear gas against the protesters who are causing damage both inside and outside the governmental buildings in prison . yet the writers are believed to be supporters of the former leader. you are both from the president, the last, reportedly been lucky way to just follow the chaos. come in. this is lillian

political science expert paula funds so say's the situation was predictable. have deny it is again to go to the protesters. blame president lulu for his past saying that he is a thief and a corrupt official boy. but it was all decided through the court and it was proved that he was not guilty. in fact, they cannot accept the result of the election. they want vol scenario to return. they say that the elections are unfair and there should be reelections. they say both sanara must return to power and didn't bolster morrow himself is in the usa. interestingly, only 2 days have passed since the anniversary of the date when the trumpets occupied the american capital. it can be said that there is a split in society among 120000000 votes. the difference is $2000000.00. this shows that society is divided into almost 2 halves, but i do not know that concessions are possible on the part of the authorities. it is not at all.
