these rarely occupation army conduct traits to kill all children. my relief, my anger is not like you who killed my son with come into your life on my headquarters here in the russian capital you're watching off the international. i'm peter scott's been here, the top stories this all welcome to the program. well, russian defense ministry has said that most goes taken full control of the strategic town of solid off the advance opens up the way for russian troops to push forward towards our charm of an attempt to cut off ukraine's supply routes. visual love for you. on the evening of january 12th, the liberation of the town of solid door was completed. the town is of significant importance for the successful continuation of an offensive internet. carrying open about gaining full control of solid makes possible the cutting off of ukrainian supply lines, which are located in the southwest of the city of r tomorrow,

after which will result in the complete encirclement of the remaining ukrainian troops. but the white house spokesperson, john kirby has down, played the importance of both folly dot and joe musk while known as bach moods in the wider context of the war. we don't know how it's going to go, so i'm not going to predict failure or success here. but even if both bach mood and sell it are fall to the russians, it's not going to make a it's not going to have a strategic impact on the war itself. and it certainly isn't going to stop the craniums or, or slow them down in terms of their, their efforts to regain their territory. or t correspondence. roman costs are of, explains the importance of both dark and our char mosque to the russian forces all the city. so far, solids are and are char moskowitz. sure ukraine have renamed into bach with air of paramount importance, a bowl for the ukrainian military in for the russian one as well. now we just heard

from a germ kirby who's trying to downplay that importance. well, the narrative, all fall western western politicians and western media, if you will, it seems to be a changing every time it says suits them and depreciating the success of the russian military. a seems to be a well then you normal and the even in the west to report so they don't even flinch when they contradict themselves. solid are those small in size is strategically important to the ultimate capture of back. moot, salazar is important. this taking of said it could have a major impact on this battle the streets of sold. it are littered with debris, as wagner fighters, battle for control of this strategic town. well, even if a person is as skeptical towards their reports, offer a western mainstream media. what is there left to think about when the leader of ukraine president uminski himself is comparing the fight for salazar and are tom of

to some of the most epic battles in history. bach more additional, just as strong hall that holds bagged the russian army. but for the russian army to completely pull out more canons and sales are needed. if so, just like the battle of saratoga, the fight for buck more do will change their tragic tory of our war for independence and freedom. let's take a look at the reality on the grounds. at the moment russian defense ministry have announced that the solids are had been completely liberated by the russian army on the eve of fall friday and ends over the last to 3 days alone. ukrainian army lost, or at least a 700 soldier center over past you week sir. that number is a well in 2000. now our solids are itself used to be a town of $10000.00 residents. it's

a home to the largest salt mine in europe. are used to how's the soviets, weapons depot, as well as only 10 kilometers away from the city or for jermel. so taking that sound is of paramount importance for russia, as it will now move towards our gym of where on the outskirts of the city, the fighting is already taken place. and russian defense men is free. also said that by taking on the door, they have cut off, are you creating armies, supply routes, and very soon that will also result in the encirclement of the ukrainian troops. now, there are a many refugees in russia, from solids are from a to almost scanned. also from towns of says live and synchronous tours, which are those 2 towns, sir, that i mentioned, will be the next battle field for russia. well, with fighting, showing no sign of abating along the don bus 4 lines,

the battle ground has torn many families apart. but some have found a way to reunites, even if it means risking their lives ah, with with bill across the entire front line. on the down corner to everywhere here. ah, [000:00:00;00] with that to work. this wasn't just a surprise for my son,

but also for my wife. it was her birthday when i met with our son and we recorded a video message together and sent it to her with the z like the lady. but we want to congratulate you on this remarkable day. we wish you, happiness and good health, let our son come back home alive. latasha velez, russia new service was left scrambling for an explanation after it's heated footage of volunteers fighting for the ukrainian army. with one fighter, apparently sporting a nazi symbol on his cap. now the video was part of reports about foreign volunteers, risk in their lives defending the country against what the outlets cold russian aggression. however, had it says, seemingly overlooked the controversial emblem on swiftly rushed to justify its publication. one of the volunteers had a black sun symbol on his cap. it's known that the nazis use it in 19 thirty's, members of the volunteer truth say it's an old ukrainian symbol of meaning power, which is aimed at destruction of the old and restoration of the new. western media

outlets have continued to broadcast photos and videos of ukrainian soldiers donning nazi symbols. journalist johnny miller believe the dose of those incident reflects a wider trend in the western media. tony down certain elements in kids forces. i think the w said in a tweets that the soldier told them that the flux that actually originated from old old green and folklore. there's no evidence without any evidence is originated from the nazis says clearly an attempt to whitewash this. and the reason being is that the western media is trying to persuade western people the only way to win this war . and this is to continue funding and pumping weapons into ukraine instead of to sewer piece and diplomacy, western media that a fantastic job over the last 8 years or so. of running stories about the rise of extremism, not affiliated extremism in ukraine. but now of course,

the story is changed and any highlighting of the extreme is problem and ukraine is just dismissed as russian propaganda. electric tele, any mainstream, oppose in the west that you credit knows perfectly well. there is a major extremism problem within ukraine, putting a propaganda war here another day, another batch of switch files, investigative journalist not tie b. i shed lights on a legit russia gates lies on faith. tales of russian bolts back in 2018, claiming that american democrats on the mainstream media ignored twitter findings that there was no link to moscow. at a crucial moment in a year's long fury, democrats denounced to report about flaws than tromp roche investigation. sinned was boosted by russian boats, and trolls. twitter officials were hast finding no evidence of russian influence where a food and congressional trolls not any significant activity connected to russia.

put in the guard before the horace, assuming this propaganda or boss, are joining me live now in the studio to flesh this out. is ortiz marina core server, marina. good afternoon, thanks for joining me in the studio. now. we know for awhile that this russian bought theory was false. but what exactly is new in this latest bunch? it's with a house wall, once again, where barons hold that there lies. and more and more lies when it comes to these claims about these russian bonds. so these latest switzer revelations, basically show that russia was not meddling in the west presidential elections, fruits whitter, it had nothing to do with manipulating the findings in the report, the subsequent report that ah, that look then to the alleged ties between the former us, our present donald trump and moscow, and we can see some of the interactions between twitter executives and members from congress and what they had to say now, for example, these twitter files,

all they do is show washington's eagerness to paying for russia as the bad guy. so even though there is no evidence to support them, that's what's what i was saying itself. hey, we cannot find evidence to what you're saying is happening. there are no rush and bought forms. let's take a look at the exchange that is produced from matt's i b and discuss this further. i think we can push back strongly on the russian component here. i just reviewed the account is that it posted the 1st 50 tweet with the release the memo, and while a few of them definitely looks pommy, none of them have any sites have been tied to russia. i tried to wave him off of this particular sorry line because we don't leave these at bots. this has become if he give a mouse a cookie with the members of congress. nice as someone who's read if you give a mouse a cookie since this weekend, i'm legit embarrassed i didn't think of that 1st. twitter said that through its internal investigation, all it found was that this response to the release, the memo hash tag,

the response was organic. so basically people supporting that idea wanted the memo to come out. that memo, they claim detailed f b i abuses and flaws when it was investigating those ties between donald trump and moscow. so they wanted it out. people were tweeting about it. and again, washington was saying, hey, these are all russian or trolls. they're bought farms. it's what i didn't find that in itself findings and it reported at to congress, but then twitter continued stating information like banning and suspending accounts and did the report that back to washington. exactly. so they reported the congress and then nothing was done about it because they continued with a continued suspend in those accounts. but you see them work was washington's narrative. they wanted to continue that writer it, but russia is meddling in our affairs. it's interfering with all these reports. they wanted to skew to skew that information that was coming out there. and again,

oh, when it comes to twitter, it had conducted an internal investigation and looked into those accounts. and those accounts weren't even coming from russia. that's what their findings were reported back to congress and nothing was done. it was just a hushed up. and then we continued seeing that this information there, this information appearing on twitter and what was the source of they based their claims on. there was just $11.00 source and that one source is the hamilton, $68.00 dash board. oh famous, yes or yes. that famous source, which by the way is under, it was created by a former f b. i counter intelligence official and this under the auspices, by the way of the alliance for securing democracy. twitter itself called that a coms play. so that to everyone, because this when, as we know, western the, the, i got that story and all the headlines were russia interfering and all u. s. affairs. and we had media western media outlets reports in this as

a fact that russia was meddling not only in the presidential election, but also in the reports. looking into the alleged links with russia. nothing was being done about it. and this just one source that there were all basin that on and they couldn't dash 6 dashboard 68th, couldn't even answer how they knew that these so called russian boards came from russia. they didn't produce any evidence. so it's basically one person saying, oh, these accounts they're russian and they are russian trolls and, and they, they bought it and sort of continued issue and statements saying that a, we're fighting misinformation and they meant of course, russian misinformation ah, it's important to note our work to fight both malicious bots and misinformation goes beyond any one specific election event or time period. we spend years working

to identify and remove spammy or malicious accounts and applications on twitter. well in a well we can say that now without who the real trolls were because we have twitter saying to congress that, hey, these accounts i have nothing to do with russia whilst continuing to suspend and ban russian accounts. because as we now know, this is exactly what washington wanted from those previous twitter leaks that were discussing. you and i were discussing just a couple of weeks ago. so there were following along with what washington wanted, but internally we can see that there were discuss insane. we can't find what these as twitter calls or congressional trolls won't from us. we can find any evidence to back that up. but okay, we'll continue suspending and banging the count's very dubious. dealings indeed, marina, thanks for breaking down the latest brook buttress with the phosphorus. thank you. on the newly appointed chinese foreign minister continues his toll of africa, aim to boosting beijing corporation with the continent. now having visited the cabin, c,

d t n reporter market takes us through all the details of the visits. the chinese firm is searching. don has wrapped up his shedding bon as the 2nd leg of the 5 country visit to africa. he has met with the governors president, ali pongo and foreign minister and michael muso jingle also held a press conference with his goblin, his counterpart, after a brief cold storm meeting. seeing that the 2 sides have similar standpoints, a multiple, international and regional affairs. and that china wishes to conduct a more collaborations with gabon under the framework of international organizations like the united nations in order to achieve real multilateralism and opposed to the basic norms of international relations. he said the 2 sides to maintain communication at all levels. sharing experience in governance and continue to uphold each other's core interests and major concerns, including sovereignty,

benning will keep you updated of the tippin medic talked there a milestone has been reached between the 3 open governments and the t great people's liberation from the grievance husband works for over 2 months now with rebel forces having begun the disarmament process, federal authorities in the north of the province are restoring communications on access to the region. and this followed by visits by french and german foreign ministers in an attempt to restore friendships of been undermined after 2 years of war. go live now to our correspondence in south africa, kind of on the toddler, trouble. good afternoon. see. can you tell us how these peace processes are holding out? and what's the role of european countries in this now? well, as you know, the situation remains tentative in the particularly in the northern part of the t gray region,

as well as the high and far region following nearly 2 years of brutal, brutal conflict that broke out between the the t p level, which is the t re people of liberation front, as well as the federal government of ethiopia. it has been, it has really left a scholar in africa was 2nd most popular country. and they wide spread allegations that both sides, both the government as well as the great forces i guilty of human rights atrocities, and that they have been a systematic grapes that have occurred in this 2 year period. those war has displeased many people in the northern part of the people that continue to not trust the stability of that area. even as the progression within the peace process continued in the peace process itself is, is broken down into steps that will be adhered to on certain times. and the time, as you said in your intro,

it wasn't 10 of the t p to another part to hand over the heavier hillary to the federal government. but now comes in an interesting part when you see the foreign ministers of both front and germany, which ordinarily some of the biggest, most powerful members of the european union coming into the fray and the 2 foreign ministers. calling for, for a peace process that will not be without accountability, they're demanding that part of the e use re, engagement with regards to the relations with this is that there must be accountability for crimes that have been commit during this period. now, the relations between the european union and the government of if you have been strained to following what, what we've noticed,

the line was taken by the federal government saying that they believe that you had taken a side with regards to, to this war that was happening in fi gray. and because you went to cut the age of the head and the 7 old relations, and particularly here, the other superpower here. friends was left very indicted with regards to the position they took with their joint navy corporations, with the government of t grade. they severed those and congress held them immediately following the start of the war. now that relationship will be hard to lead to men rather than the german relationship with a job which has been steady and really been strong. and it seems like right now which is more easily regional, but that you, itself has, has put a lot of pressure with regards to, to the e, v o, p, and government. and has even going to fight to say that they believe that the

federal government is guilty of the human rights abuses and that they suspect that there might even be more atrocities that have happened as a result of this france and germany themselves, individually. they have been using i rather soft language considering that i think they've been banking one. the idea that. busy will be a peace process. ultimately, the to super policy claim that europe has been mightily involved in the peace process that they use this of power to force the association of that than when the t p left invaded. i'm hot, i and i've tried region they you, they are only, you couldn't make my to resettle some of the displays people. but i think that might be a bit too much glory, that the a portion themselves. i mean, as we forget these, this war was ended and the auspices of the african union led by going to bas angel and kinyata as well as lumber and lou guy, who as the deputy president of south africa and see very much as a, an african solution to an african problem,

the deal was essentially painted here in pretoria on the 2nd of november which was a day short of the 2 adversary of this war. and it remains one of the major highlights of 2022 for the african continent in leading and, and really guiding their own problems and solving them in an african way as they say. but every stand right now, there is a call by the german minister for accountability and then it's only seen according to that leave her and colleague through transitional justice. here is the german foreign minister. eileen b. a book basically said i, it's got all the it is particularly important to prosecute the violations we, germans and french knows it from our own experience. that reconciliation does not have an overnight, but with the prospect of justice for the victims of crimes reconciliation and

lossing piece and not possible. but of course, this has been a brutal war and you don't have to to take it from anywhere else. because, of course, if it's further exacerbated the feminine crisis that has been old to buying that pod to of, of, of ethiopia. but of course there's another factor to this story which is the, the, the role played by foreign forces. and in particular here we're talking about neighboring a retreat, which fort alongside the federal government of if you now, aaron tree has not moved it's position even though we have a piece of chord in exit and as the left hand over heavy machinery, they still have to contend with entry of the soldiers which filled occupy some of the federal areas in the capital of t grey, which is my kelly and the not been without if casualties,

there's been hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. people in the thousands room to have died because it's very difficult to independently verify these claims because they've been a lack of access to the teen regional and lack of communication with that region. they've been very difficult to independently verify some of these. but you cannot deny the pain that has been inflicted, particularly on some of the civilian life that has, that has come out of out of t gray as they look to other areas even neighboring eritrea is the seek for safety . but perhaps no voice encapsulates the pain. that has been there for the last 2 years. then the world health organization direct gabrielle is tedra. gibbs says the humanitarian crisis in te gray 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 in te gray. this is the

worst disaster on earth as we speak. i am from t great. it is not because i am from t gray. i am saying this, that is the truth. i personally find it very funny that both german and french minister claim to have been that involved in the war considering what they were doing around that time last year. that was a huge focus by both government to try and secure energy from the continent. and that looked like something they were leading with. but apparently now they say that they did a lot of work behind the scenes, and that they were not seeking any limelight, but there were other players, namely china, which also just recently had its own new foreign minister in, in the capital city of if you and they particularly had the wrong that soft power with regards to, to the train that they have with if you as well as the dead. that if the

o b i has with regards to canada, which is about a quarter of the countries total debt. and the, i believe, to have played a much more urging role for the federal government to finally come to the table in this, by the feelings of, of the european union. they cannot a portion that much of the fact 5th of those p vil to their efforts only a very complex situation. let's hope that up peace continues to hold onto correspondence in south africa cur, but it's not la, thanks very much for breaking down that complex situation. was bloodshed continues in palestine as 3 more residents were killed by israeli troops in the last 24 hours drink. deadly raids in the west bank the this question have opted in palestinians. this is thousands of residents gathered the funerals of those killed

monitor to the streets, waving flags, unchanging slogans. 41 year old man was killed, trying to stop is really the soldiers from detaining his son. another demonstration was seen in the palestinian 50 of nobliss. locals gathered the funeral of something one year old man. the 2nd of those killed by this very military israeli army have killed 6 policy in the west bank since the beginning of 2020, 20 last year. special forces have repeatedly carried out nighttime raids, allegedly searching for members of militant groups, according to jerusalem based human rights organization. last year was the deadliest into decades with around 150, polished indians, killed by israeli. troops sees maria financial visit to the family who lost the 15 year old son during a previous israeli operation. i added my ad was 15, his family and friends, remember him as a kind. funny boy, adam had plans and loving life that has been taken from him by an israeli soldier

an israeli human rights group reported that last here. these railey military killed the highest number of palestinians in the occupied west bank in the past 2 decades . 146 people, 5 women and 34 miners among them. we contacted the idea for a come and they say they account a terry. some activity often leads to fatalities from both sides. lie, fire is meant to be used by the security forces only after all. other options have been exhausted. the vast majority of those killed by idea fire in judea and samaria this year were involved in terrorist activity that posed a direct threat to human lives. adam has become the 3rd palestinian killed by israel's army since the beginning of this here. when we started film in this report, he was the last. by the time of finished it, there was another one killed in the killer with temper the occupation army raised the camp no fewer than 15 times a month. we have more than $200.00 wounded people in the camp,
