a joe by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang self with intended fighting under instruction gunfire. that's russian troops at bonds, and one of the most significant battle grounds all the ukraine conflict. with 17 supporters of peach to peruvian president petal castillo. i killed in recent clashes with police locals that have sent out the new president at the root of the crisis report. to him of the police officers were shooting at us. we call him president of to route the unable to walk to, to resign because you are a murderer. us strengthens. that's military presence near china's board. us as

a top commander, that washington has been following a ukraine style play for ramping up operations in the asia pacific reach. a live from moscow with your news that matters them off into national with you on tuesday stories and straight to the conflict in new cray, where intense, i think, has been reported in the i don't yet square public as russian troops advance on strategic areas in the region at the head of the republic says that the town of sola dollar is close to being fully controlled by russia. now was discussing based on other recent developments just a bit earlier in the program with senior correspondent now ah, wagner units on the fringes, on the west of the city. so ukraine has school. but last that you have problems, ukrainian journalist coming out and say, look it's, it's over, we're going to give up solid on the poor. these. if they give up solid up the road,

the crowd come, a tourist and slow vance a to key cities in easton ukraine. that road will be open about the ukrainian, the fed slide, and that is from buffalo to salinda. and then on to the city of save, if it is all entirely a natural defensive law, which is why does taken the russian forces so long to, to break through. and there on the, on the cost now of breaking through. it's a natural defense of law because only eastern side throughout this geographic area . the ground with the geography such that solar dot m bachman and see it has, ah, are above so that they're high up. and the ground gently, slopes away, and the russians have be forced to assault from the doubt up. and that is in solid on the case of solider that has been almost exclusively the wagon, the group in bottom with that also incredibly active. and i was there, i was

a include the boy in vladimir africa, which is the outskirts, basically just be on solid. and that is as far as we will able to get because the, the situation is such that you create would just roll tags out and shoot. cuz you could see everything down below and shoot at anything that move. and you had small groups of wagner, 89 people. so troops basically making a dash 100 meters finding a crater somewhere and hug ring down. they could be there for a day for, for 2 days without any supplies. just hunker down up front, so close up with ukrainian troops. and it just be a neat grab that, that take one crate and then the next that find that you say ukrainian troops. you talk about a meat grinder, you've spent so much time down the you thing down the for nearly 7 months mode out . is it all ukrainians that russians are fighting down there? no, it isn't. it, isn't it?

it used to be but snaking claim a knife for example, which is just just north of, of service their entire sectors of the front line. good, the troops, they have that give us the radio captured radius, trophy radios at captured from, from, from enemy forces. and we'd listen and that have all sorts of buttons of pre coded encrypted radio. you click on one channel and you don't hear german speech. you really hit german speed, you click on another and you don't hear polish speech and polish speech was predominant in an cause. sexes of the front live that would only be polish speech. there weren't any ukrainians that we knew all of that. the troops knew of on the other side, ukraine's losses in solid are in button would have been, they've been catastrophic. they've been ukraine, admit so itself. president zalinski has come out tom and tom again and said it is hell enough. what is happening that but to give credit where credit is due, the wagner group has proved to be

a lot formidable force and absolutely formidable force. the, they, the, the strategy and the taxes that they use are designed to, and half succeeded in depleting the best of ukraine's units. and we're talking here special forces. we're talking, well prepared mercenaries, or all foreign forces that have arrived to help to grant a. we're talking about brutish regulars, which is, which is what they are regulars on leave sent in, in the, in the entire units attachments or severely defeated on the solider and on the bottom line which, which has caused ukraine to pull units out of other areas such as up north, there came in the us, live up and threw them into the meat grinder that is solid up. but yesterday, in solar dog, we had fighting in the center of the city around the, the, the mails office, the city ministrations. russia is fighting the best of the west right here. these soldiers, these mercenaries, they're getting

a latest technology from nato and from america and from england as well. and, and yet, it, it's not going in their favor right now. let, let morale let. let's bring this back to the russian side here. so they show you the russian defense minister as announced our reforms to military operations in ukraine and syria. so shoot them over, since i know that there are 2 taken into account our experience in the special military operation. the supreme commander in chief has set a number of tasks for us. the main one is to take measures for the qualitative renewal of the armed forces and increased their combat capabilities. we must constantly analyze in system attire, the experience and actions of our groups in ukraine and syria. you see the issue here is that yes, russia is saying that we've, we've amassed a huge amount of experience. we've seen what works. what doesn't that mean? we're not only talking about military vehicles and, and houses, and been more of helicopters and flaw control systems radios. we're also talking

about taxi, you know, in the future, in this mass mod more, what's russia needs to focus on what we need less or what we need more all. and all of this is coming together to define rushes on me rushes military unions. the huge, well if you want to know more about exactly what is happening on the front line down there in round dumbass, not whole region or updates the 247 at r t dot com are shifting gears to peru where at least at 17 civilians have been killed in heavy clashes with police, a supporters of impeached president petro castillo, hit the streets to protest against the current government with, ah, i, a hundreds,

a reporter who we know injured. as we understand that includes $75.00 police offices. as a locals attempted to take over the international airport, demonstrations are aimed at our interim president, dina, but a lot of the day who was heavily supported by washington with protest as main time saying she's got to go look for you to put it here. i'm of the police officers were shooting at us. we call him president of perused the unable to walk to, to resign because you are a murderer. i don't know who is going to defend us who is going to look after these children who are traumatized. these children who are becoming fatherless, motherless orphans, the state is not going to come to see us who have wounded comb, race wounded villagers. and while the u. s. has not condemn the violence of the former president of bolivia, even what alice has asked. the un on the international community to take notice of what is happening on the ground. we call on

o n u c i d h human rights organizations and social and indigenous movements of the world to join their voices, to demand respect for the lives of our peruvian brothers, defenseless victims of repression and exclusion. politics, ah, so good, happy with us, a top us command as has washington successfully prepared for the ukraine conflict. and now the u. s. should follow the same playbook in the asia pacific region as it ramps up its positions all around the east coast of china. why have we achieved the level of success we've achieved in ukraine a big part of that has been because after russian aggression in 2014 in 2015, we earnestly got after preparing for future conflict training for the ukrainians. pre positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate, support, and sustain operations. we call that setting the theater, and we are setting the theater in japan, in the philippines and in other locations. now this situation has drawn parallels

with us actions pertaining to the ukraine conflict. a, similarly, the u. s. ramped up its military presence and former soviet an eastern bloc countries all within russia is traditional sphere of influence. and now western powers of imposed more sanctions against russia than any other country. or just for a moment here on the program, let's examine these points more closely and we'll start where. but we'll start with u. s. military activity in china's back yod america has established a defense alliance, a number of them in the asia pacific, including orchestra with australia and the 5 eyes intelligence group with new zealand. the u. s. has also set up numerous military bases in japan and south korea for naval and air force operations, not close to american territory. close to china is territory. the u. s. military conduct drills with its allies all up and down china's borders. what we heard earlier in the program from matt ropes and be a former deputy foreign minister of new zealand. he says washington's ultimate goal

for china is to provoke an armed conflict. the trying the same thing with taiwan and not directly and all the united states soldiers on the ground at the stage, but to use all the countries to be in bo, taiwan, itself. all the people who inhabit taiwan is embarked upon an aggressive strategy both against russia because of its independence policies and china buzz for its independent policies. and because it also has a very strong position in terms of the role of the state government, all of this could be resolved peacefully, cooperatively. countries can have the differences that don't have to go to war for that. unfortunately, the final step for the united states, as in any large period, this country is to have war to get us way and best the big danger for the world.

and another point is out of economic pressure. the u. s. has been pushing its allies to restrict high tech exports to china, including discussions with japan and the netherlands and south korea. that's according to the us ambassador to japan, ahead of expected further senior level tool in washington. you've got to work through no japan, but you've got to work through obviously, korea, you've got to work through the dutch, all the parties or the table. all the bodies have usual shared interest in the outcome. everybody has different aspects of the industry. the d. o been sort will not be just bilateral, it must be multilateral. now those 3 u. s. allies are essential suppliers for china's high tech sector of the netherlands is the largest provider of computer chips, services. japan is among the world's top suppliers of equipment for semiconductor production, while both south korea and japan are the biggest exporters of computer chips to

china. again, robinson, he says, america at the end of the day is backing china into a corner. there's a lot of concerns about the constant us pressure on other independent countries, china, russian, all the parts of the world. they don't agree with the governments and they use this strategy to try and strangle, or industry to develop. and so it's not new, but it's disturbing. that has reached a new level and the company like south korea, which actually has a tremendous economic integration with the people's republic of china and even japan, which is more compliant with us to moms and courses militarily occupied by the united states. they is against their own economic interests, but the pressure that the united states is putting on to take the step china

goes they have no military alliances outside of china anyway, can be perceived as threatening and then states. but the united states is creating this, this. so goal, threat to the united states, ah, australia has rejected an asylum request from an alleged chinese spy, despite expressing a previous support for him with a media portraying him as a hero. let's try and understand more. his artes marina cost reference. his name is lit, jung wong leitz young, but his definitely no james bond than the when you look at all the evidence, it's amazing that australia and the west fell for his act to begin with. let's start from the beginning. this man 1st appeared on australian national tv a few years ago, claiming to be a chinese spy. this is where he revealed that his mission was to further beijing's

interest primarily in hong kong and taiwan. among his claims was that as an undercover agent, he kidnapped booksellers, whose works angered the chinese government that he infiltrated universities and stole military intelligence and weapons. that he undermined the protest. movements in hong kong, manipulates at the election results in taiwan and embezzled public assets. there and of the west aid it all up after all, it fit their anti chinese narrative. so jackpots, this young double o 7 was paraded on national to be and portrayed as a hero. a hero in need of protection, haven't spilled all this. he about his home country, australia and authorities also joined in initially ignore an issue such as his young age and lack of detail in his stories. and the fact that everything he spoke about was already in the public domain. i'm of the view that anyone who's willing to assist us in defending our sovereignty deserves our protection. i think he

deserves our protection and our support. hostile foreign intelligence activity continues to pose a real threat to our nation and its security. i have no doubt in my mind that he would be the subject of severe consequences. were he to return to china? china was adamant that the west was being conned by this camera. happy spy. their version was that this defector was actually a fugitive, who was under investigation for fraud and china. actually the facts a clear for this fraud who became a spy? this is a totally absurd loop written screenplays concocted by anti china forces. they even release footage of one leads young in court in china face and the fraud charges where he seemingly admits to be in a liar on earth court documents and witness statement seems to corroborate china's version of the story. bots may be this intriguing fairy tale was so good to pass up at that time for the western media. since it was during

a period of really tense relations between australia and china. their lowest point in almost 50 years with accusations of election modeling, human rights violations, and china allegedly weaponized in trade. sometimes it really is a case of wishful thinking. bought it seems that finally australia and the west have caught on, wang has not only been accused of committing fraud against an australian citizen, but he was also denied asylum. a decision that was a pallet by the australian appeals tribunal, partly because they now have doubts over his claims. and how, if at all this tribe, you know, can safely find that wang was engaged in espionage activities. it will be interesting to see how much coverage the spy force would get after it has backfired on the west . but it just goes to show once again how sometimes ideology overwhelms you and you just can't say nodes. her good spy thriller, even if it is

a bunch of fiction. we heard wrong, political experts, him. anderson ensued me now he says australian relations were with a china have deteriorated over the years. and he blames washington's foreign policy and media outlets for their degradation. mister wang, it seems as a little bit too far out on a limb, even for the australian authorities and the background that wasn't 50 years ago in schools, we were told australia as part of china. and we were all encouraged to learn asian languages and, and of course, the economic relations with, with se, asia and china grew and grew in a china has been australia's biggest trade partner. and this was the case until 4 or 5 years ago when washington turned around and decided, you know, with obama's pivot to asia and trump's economic war against asian companies. and then nancy pelosi is trip to taiwan that are a stranger. unfortunately, the, the clutch of politicians are extremely weak. they can't really resist joining in

with the washington campaign. but it went wider than that. it was the media promoting these things. that's true. the corporate media that promotes all of these the latest campaign from washington. it's also academics, we had a number of academics coming out early on saying this man was credible and it added to all of the what was known about china and so on. of course, what really upset the story was back at the beginning 3 years ago. there was already opponents of beijing who was, i know this guy as a fraud. he is a lawyer. there was taiwanese intelligence officer, retired one people in hong kong was supposedly the victims of beijing who were saying don't believe this guy, he's a fraudster. so all of the, all the warning sounds were out there from the beginning. but nevertheless, the story proceeded to story with big implications are the chinese national currency. it's about to get a big boost in latin america and submit a major trade deal with argentina. and china is already one about 19 as main

economic partners and the currency swap deal for the equivalent of about $20000000.00 certainly has good timing. the south american country has been looking to increase its foreign currency reserves to fulfill economic guidelines dictated by the intern national monetary fund. now china is argentina, is the 2nd largest trade partner behind brazil. it is also the 2nd biggest destination for argentinian exports. the currency exchange deal is to facilitate payments between the 2 countries and what in chinese you, one we heard from economic ex, but east of on cost. not about the implications. china has a stable money and monetary policy as well as the world's biggest international reserves. so china is promoting a monetary policy towards optimization of its resources and richness.

looking for an autonomous, a locally very bred dominant monetary expansion where it will be a benchmark for the world. when you have a strong money, everybody goes after this strong money. it's called the gresham law. it's natural that the r continuance will look for more activities towards china and with a chinese strong you one, the merging gone fries such as brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. i have with more and more time with in these last years better, higher, stronger presence in lots of forums. so to big part of the bricks is really very important for our can dina and are in dina because of its enormous

political and economic crisis to look for more participation. supporters of brazilian president lula to silver have hit the streets of major cities to a web. backup is government following a violent attempted coup with a national i some participants of the a pro government. ronnie's have gone as far as to condemn with the attempted coup with a terrorist attack. his local reporter michelle de mayo in saint paula with more details about the investigation into the devastating ride them. as i look a little say to us, we are on the one of the main streets of so paula de la city in brazil and national demonstration is going on behind me. and now in defense of democracy and against the court town that took place last night. in the federal capital of brazil, so far, 1500 people have been detained for participating in the court town to the justice ministry says that these people could face up to 20 years in prison,

and the other charges are destroying the government headquarters in brazil, air and the theft of weapons, ammunition and classified documents from state intelligence services. the president lula. the silver has just met with 23 governors and 4 representatives of other subjects of the federation. to develop a clear plan for all levels of government to prevent any further attempts and disability ation. all of this is due to the fact that in addition to the actuals of the purchase, their tax on federal buildings in brazil, there are a camps of extremist groups that advocate for an armed intervention and a cool that have been working for 2 months already. morning, all these camps are being liquidated in the capitol and in rio de janeiro, so polar and other major cities. nevertheless, these extremist groups are trying to set up barricades on the streets and commit other acts of disabilities. ation. after meeting with the governors, president luther, the silver walked with them around the leaders,

official residence, clearly demonstrating unity. he said they will work together to protect the countries democracy. people say that they don't want amnesty for the violent protesters. they want all the people involved in the right to be held responsible for the attempted. cool. let's listen to their statements. dollars on the key. we're here to defend democracy in president lula who was recently legitimately elected. we were against the attempt to crew organized by a part of the population that far from reality where blow up in 2018 when bolton arrow one, the left to 6 after this. and now when lower one, we need to accepted on today's the day to fight for his victory. yes, yes, people came out to defend democracy and speak out against the coup attempt brazil's capital will continue to remain in the state of emergency until the end of this month to be that justice ministry secretary at ricardo capella remains in charge of public order. while the governor over the federal district ibanez,

russia was removed from power for a period of 9 to days upon a decision by the supreme court. this is the situation at the moment. the news is constantly being updated. brazil is going through a very tough period because it has been only 7 days since lola officially became president. these attacks on the institutions of power are the most serious since the beginning of democracy in brazil will monitor the development of the situation and from the hot spots across the world to a place where as to whether outside, it's frightening. the temperature in parts of russia has dropped to minus 42 degrees celsius or minus 44 fahrenheit, and the streets are covered in snow and ice draped everywhere locals and the city of jak coots long ago. figured out how to keep on moving. a layering up to stay warm can take up to a wardrobe and some even have blankets for their cars. in one neighboring village, the temperature fell to minus 61. the way the man says that's not the bottom yet. minus 65 celsius on the horizon, a doing

a little bit of meteorological mathematics here that is minus 85 degrees fahrenheit . will it be nice about minus 12 degrees celsius in moscow today, but we've had minus $29.00 and minus $27.00 and just the immediate few days after the new year. so at least in moscow, it's warming up just a little bit. i thanks for your company. we are back of the top of the hour with more of your to say headlines. ah, ah, ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with the welcome to all the part the 3rd world war. their favorite topic for political analyst over the last couple of months has moved from the realm of speculation into a fast shaping reality with russia announcing personal mobilization, what it sees as a war with nature and the collective quest. not the more more,

it's not the proxy war and not the trading of sanctions will blow you, magic conflict with already thousands of data on both sides. can anything be done to prevent further installation to discuss it. i'm now joined by demetrius constance. a couple of political analyst, i'm for my advisor to your degree prime minister address on jo demetrius. it's a great pleasure, great honor for me to talk to you and i really like this opportunity to communicate . because i think we, we may not have it for a long time because russia and europe seem to be enemies yet again. and those differences seem to be truly irreconcilable. what do you think it's all heading? thank you for your invitation. thank you for you to be with you and was your i'm happy about am i happy also, for the reasons for that topic to discuss today. because it is to,

we are sending everything indicates that we're heading to a very important crisis. and i would want to exaggerate if i would say this is it, but this year. well, certainly even the survival of humanity in different ways and took it should be a musician, at least i don't want to be too alarmist, but it all indications with him pointed to the use of their chair on the nuclear level on the core logic level. and on the economic well i to be q alarm is because a, i don't know if you follow the rushing is, but there are some president and his defense minister just the other day i characterize that comes with ration and you can not just, you know, continue to regional confrontation, but a full blown war with natal and the collective. well, i don't think for them it's a natural for it. it looks like they actually believe that i wonder if people where

you are and we also perceive it the same way that they are at war with russia. we're not at war with geeks, european lesson. she didn't. she jenner, western peoples are not in war with russia. they don't feel like this is it is aligned to say, such a think, what the ease of one with russia in and i'm going to see that it is possible and then which way is our ruling class in our political class. this is different. and i believe that the european peoples are for relations with russia and for avoiding all of this situation. and i want to see one scene illusion and she's, she's the beginning of the conflict in green and even much before i was.
