for 30 days amid math protest across the country. that has perused president dina lark. there refuses to leave office despite calls for her resignation. facebook says it will remove all content on its platform that supports the brazilian protests while praising such riots and eat on and refusing to bad calls to kill the iranian leader. ah, good morning for moscow to wherever you may be watching this is the weekly with the hour and weeks most vital stories from around the globe. i'm fear l isabel. moscow says kiev is planning a large scale provocation to blow up large grain stops and blame russia. the russian defense ministry says kids goal is to leverage western public opinion. ukraine security services are preparing a large scale provocation in the coming days to discredit rush's actions within the

grain deal and to accuse russia of creating a food shortage in ukraine. in the western media, the incident will be presented as another atrocity by the russian troops requiring a tough response from the world community. the fence, been se goes as far as providing details of the plants sabotaged mission, saying that at least a 30 ukrainian explosives, specialists, and security officers have already arrived in article. and the storage facility itself is owned by a man affiliated with the security service of ukraine. now, according to the defense ministry, the publication is meant to increase pressure on public opinion and western countries. in order to achieve you, large scale arms supplies to ukraine, on the eve of the a meeting of nato defense ministers and ramstein, germany, which will take place on january 20th. now this is a 2nd warning about the ukranian provocations issued by russian defense ministry.

this year alone, on the 8th of january, military officials issued a warning. the key of so security services are preparing to accuse russian forces of committing atrocities against civilian population in harkell. now, the alleged plan was to dig up the graves of civilians who died of natural causes disfigure their bodies and put them in a mass grave all in order to accuse russia of committing war crimes. now this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would stage such provocations in order to find support in the west. last year world headlines were a full of stories about news from boucher ukrainian city that russian forces returned to caves controlled you to successful negotiations. at that time. western media were presented with the corpses of civilians on the streets of the city. 3 days after the russian army had left now linkage between the dead and the russian military was established almost immediately without any fact based data to back it

up. now, anyone who dared to question the established russia didn't narrative was a shouted down and belittled as a russian shill, or even worse for its own part. russia has vehemently denied the allegations and has requested an emergency meeting of the un security council to discuss what the russian foreign ministry has called the criminal provocations by ukrainian soldiers and radicals in boucher. now the presidency of the security council was held by great britain, and the british mission to the un has denied the russia requests of the time. so, in general, the latest ukrainian provocation falls in line with key of attempts to boost military support from the west. due to its own failures on the battle ground. meanwhile, on saturday, multiple missile strikes were reported across ukraine. ukrainian officials and local media reported at least $100.00 missiles were fired into the country. several

large explosions were reported in kiev emergency electricity blackouts were then declared in the capital as well as 7 other regents of ukraine. according to local officials, one large power plant in the western part of the country went offline with unverified images appearing online later, showing the alleged damage. a tragic incident also occurred in the city of nev profit. there also, wherever doesn't that till building was partially destroyed by a rocket. according to local officials, at least 18 people died with dozens more injured. ukrainian officials were quick to blame. russia of intentionally striking civilian building. moscow has repeatedly stated it only targets military objects and infrastructure used by the ukrainian army. this comes as one of the lensky advisors contradicted the official narrative,

saying that ukrainian air defenses cause the incidence you use be on the ball. and the missile was shut down. but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. the russian military has previously said that you cranium. air defenses have been ineffective. citing examples of missile defense rocket heading, civilian buildings in the country, as well as neighboring states when ukrainian rocket killed 2 farmers in poland in november last year. now to the don bass front lines were russian forces achieved a major breakthrough this week. the private military company, wagner took the strategic city of sola dar, under its control. when this exclusive footage shows the wagner's roof head add members inspecting an underground mind that was previously used by cab troops to store weapons, the companies had said that remaining ukrainian troops who were surrounded and

refused to surrender, were killed in battle. yevgeny pre goes and also symbolically brought salt to the mind and in a pair of joy at western media, which claimed he has business interest in the city government and it will get them so that there would be no rumor spread in the yes that we are fighting for source, have some you create insult with me, live it in solider, after we go through it. solid are, is, is, is strategically important. location, gaining control over at paved the way for russian forces to put pressure on ukrainian forces in the major city of already almost a vital transportation hub with a network of roads and railways used as supply routes. the head of the don. yes. republic said that after solid, our rushes military will be able to move towards several another key city, the cities of cramming tours and laugh ganske would then be the key targets for the russian army in an interview to r t. the head of the don. yes, republic,

dennis bushland emphasized that solid are, is a crucial juncture for their russian offensive. sick dies was admitted into greece . could there zelinski uses some kind of anti crisis when the situation gets hot. we saw how solid our did not leave the news pages some days before you printing propaganda tends to turn cities into symbols. we saw with mario paul with as of stop. we now see formation of the symbol supported by all ukrainian media about our tool mosque. a symbol of invincibility of no surrender or the same was said of solider was the liberation of solar allows russian troops to go to the city of our tom of sc in more favourable conditions with the liberation of solid. are we prepare for the liberation of that lynette? sk people's republic. when we see that now the situation has changed, and russian troops have taken the initiative. the west had the goal to provoke war and pursued it without any regard to the minsk agreements or the un security

council. resolutions to west continue to pump weapons and ukraine that use the time of negotiations to strengthen the key of regime. and sooner rather than later, the line would be crossed and the west would try to deteriorate the situation and to determine the outcome of the conflict in dumbass militarily. in fact, that was the reason to start the special military operation. put up with this comes as kev continues to deny its military have lost control over the city. the reluctance could be explained by the large loss of the korean army has reportedly suffered in the area. meanwhile, desperate relatives of ukrainian fighters who are said to be missing or in captivity, have taken to the streets of here and what local media labeled a march of widows. women were seen holding photos of their husbands calling on the government to help bring them home. the protest follow multiple eye witness accounts, suggesting that he is reluctant to retrieve some of its wounded and slain service

men from the battlefield. the biggest military backer, the united states downplayed the significance of the latest developments on the front line. according to a pentagon spokesperson, the ukrainian armies latest defeat would not have any impact on the conflict. let's take a listen. 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 bad mood and so that 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. we spoke to a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who says that capture a solid are paved the way for russia to move on to already almost and beyond. let's put it this way of soda hadn't fallen,

but in the ukrainian defences that they had been building up for over 8 years from 2014 to 2022 would still be intact. and that would complicate extraordinarily, any russian offensive that has been planned when the remaining of 12550000 of mobilized troops finally appear on the battlefield. it was the follow. solid are of the russians have put at risk of the ukrainian positions in bar moot. um, the, the fact is that the defense of this area is going to become untenable and or rather than risk. and even larger cauldron, um the cranes will have no choice but to withdraw and see, create a new defensive bill. further to the west, the capture of sola dar, the eventual capture of bark mood. the piercing of the ukrainian defences is an essential precondition for any follow on russian offensive operations. so this is

a, this is a battle of tremendous significance and tremendous consequence for both sides. ah, and now to israel were almost 100000 protesters have rallied against the government as a protest and initiative to weaken the country supreme court in favor of parliament r t. 's. maria phenomena reports from the scene half a day of such demonstrations. less than a month after benjamin netanyahu warranty, as the country knew, prime minister in the borders of the changes, though, argue that the court with power is an issue, ruling against the will of devote theresa limits in their 30 will be rather a good thing. we have been able to speak to protested here at this, where some of them went as far as pulling this government is asking for

re elections. others are not happy with a to be a we was on a double crocker. bigger that brought us against the legal reform. in fact, other reforms actually are almost like all the lucian and it's also against or national it will draw the dog for is about to take advantage of this reform to turn israel to something else will want you never, we want democracy, we will fight our democracy until the day with come here to day because the most dictate tauriel laws are now been passed. i don't want to wear you. freedom of speech has been suppressed here for 3 years, as well as freedom of the press, which amanda tal loads be followed and that our supreme court not be destroyed. it

must be independent as in democratic countries. a country. so my defense minister, i, leader, all countries national unity party. oh, israel is from left to right to to make their voice heard. he said people protection defenders, entries, democracy. this is there to do team earlier this week. gun also learned that the new government's plans, new governments refer me to civil war and even yahoo described it as encouraging sedation also last week. guns. gold only then. yeah. form as special team made of representative from the college. you know, and i'll position as well to sit together and to for jobs. the country's reforms

plan so that it satisfies everybody in it and yahoo rejected this idea. prime minister opposed to the video on friday, defending the reform saying they were allowed to discuss. 2 before the elections and during the election campaign and received huge public support. one of the most controversial and radical figure is and israel's new government for the countries, new national security minister, with the goal on police to take a hard line against for testers and other opposition leader. let people send the message after that to the countries eliseo. these people are patriots, and this is how they should be treated, not as the states, and i'm is so thousands of people are participating. the process here in tel aviv a state of emergency has been introduced and several regions of peru from january 15th, for 30 days. amid mass protest across the country as peruse,

incumbent president deny bol the art, there has refused to leave office. as soon as bosses, some voices that have come from the violent and radical factions are asking for my resignation, provoking the population into cash disorder and destruction. i will not resign. my commitment is with peru that is full. 17 people were reportedly killed and hundreds more injured, including at least $23.00 police officers, as locals attempted to take over an airport in southern peru on tuesday. at least 43 people have been killed in reported confrontations between police and civilians in the country. in what many activists are calling a master curse. the protest call for the resignation of interim president, dean, up a large deck with demonstrators claiming their being discriminated against by the new governments. i was going to defend us who's going to after this children who are traumatized. these children who are becoming fatherless,

motherless orphans a failure to put it here on the fungus, but on the kid. okay, the police officers were shooting at us. i think there are 5 wound it and one debt . recall in president of through d. n. a blue arctic to resign it because you, i'm not sure many people are dying because of you, your boss, except that a people don't want to you. ah. with hulu. and those are the thousands of people. marry again. any bern? i mean me. good. yeah. one of the mobile, this vision, lima with dealing

with that the month are quite clear that one dina, to be out of the government. that one the dictatorship do and, and they also police the congress along with the executive power of all the keeling . all people who are actually exercise in the right to protest, not just the lima, but everyone in the u. s. has pledged to support president bell lark, the despite escalating anti government protest demanding her resignation since december last year. impeach president federal castillo earlier claim to us. the involvement is behind the violence oppression of protesters. meanwhile, former bolivian president evermore alice has expressed his support for peruvian demonstrators in responsible artist government banned him from entering peru. we spoke to peruvian activists, katya cornejo, who says that the states actions against the protesters and evermore alice are acts

of racism. there is evidently relation between in the border through with believe. yeah, i mean, we're speaking about the same indigenous group. if we, i mark people. so that's evidence they will be some, you know, yes, actions that will be supported it strongly. and there was no proof however of the of that the government is saying. but what i think is that is evidently racist. attack is not only against ever, but obviously again the people, as i mentioned, it's mostly indigenous i mara, that have crap. now have experienced the latest scaling and the action of

bombing able from entering the country. it's just, it's a joke to me, but it's an statement from a statement from the government. so create been a life basically imagine that people's end to blame everywhere else and believe you and the left wing movement in latin america for whatever is going on in the country even for their own killing. so they're trying to make us responsible for it because there are people who speak against the government as responsible for repealing that b. r. committing the chinese new foreign minister as wrapping up his 5 nation trip across africa. the last country on his checklist was beneath,

during an official meeting with the country's president. he emphasized the importance of chinese african cooperation to identify more areas to strengthen bilateral ties. but gina, by been in my proposal is that we work together to promote synergy between beneath strategic development plan and the belt and road initiative. and the achievement of the forum on china, africa cooperation. so in order to identify more fields of action and growth rates for our cooperation, i am thinking of infrastructure, agriculture, human resources, training, manufacturing, and peace and security. earlier this week, the chinese foreign minister also visited angola. he noted the both states have always enjoyed solidarity and mutual trust, as well as growing momentum in their mutual cooperation with chinese companies making significant contributions to infrastructure upgrades and, and goal us. his african trip also included a stop in ethiopia,

where chinese top diplomats held a meeting with the opium counterpart. they discuss bilateral cooperation as well as developing exchanges of experience in governance. jo, china's new foreign minister also met with the head of the african union commission . when gang stated that no world power should force african countries to take sides in matters of politics in a swipe at u. s. involvement on the continent. instead saying, africa should be a place for promoting economic development. siegel shush would african needs his solidarity, and co operation, not confrontation, no country, no people have the right to force african countries and their people to take sides . africa should be a platform for international cooperation, not an arena for competition between major countries. africa refuses to be seen as an arena for competing influence. we're open to cooperation and partnerships with

everyone as long as their respect our principles, our priorities now interests. the partnership we have with china is built on this principles. while cooperation between china and african nations is on the rise, the u. s. as that's actually di, stabilizing the continent, the us defense secretary made those claims. last month at a summit of african leaders in washington were witnessing the purity, expand its footprint. ah, in the on, on a continent on a daily basis, and that creates problems that will be eventually destabilizing if they're not already. or we see russia continuing to peddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries, i think i that bears watching. and certainly i think their influence again, can be the stabilize chinese affairs expert and are long says that countries approach

to africa is more holistic than that of western powers. thomas engagement with africa, it's very different from the west and looks at the relationship in a holistic way. the emphasis is always been on building infrastructure, notice capacity building for development. it will help the these countries to develop. and also of course, it would force crucial ties between china and africa. their so called democracy as defined by the united states is only a facade channel to certain americans in france to impose the americans more go on other countries. regardless of the m, the stages of development, the internal political situation, the geography and so on, so forth. the african countries and other developing countries. they are more in debt to western commercial lenders, multiple times more than china. it's become much more

a price for allowing some sort of that relief, but also taking into account all the stakeholders interest. but overall, the loans are here, as i said to was building infrastructure within the country and connecting these countries to other neighboring countries. it would bring a lot of economic progress former recently and president jar both the narrow will be investigated by the countries authorities suspected of inciting riots after his supporter storm the capital. earlier this week, violence corrupted and brazilian, after thousands of protesters stormed and looted key government buildings, more than a 1000 people were detained with the incumbent. there's at least president pledging to find and punish those involved in protests. who are the silver supporters also took to the streets and organized pro democracy rallies condemning the riots? these were the scenes on the ground.

ah. images comparing the chaos on brazilian streets to the pictures of the u. s. capitol hill storming in 2021. cause media to draw power allows between the 2 incidents. both took place in january after elections with supporters of a losing candidate taken over national congress. the u. s. president has called the

protest in brazil and assault on democracy with european leaders affirming their support for the return of lula da silva. i condemned the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power. in brazil, brazil's democratic institutions have our full support and the will of the brazilian people must not be undermined. i look forward to continuing to work with president lula. my absolute condemnation of this soul from the democratic institutions of brazil for support for prison, lieu of the silver, democratically elected by millions of brazilians from fair and free elections. full support to lula da silva and his government to congress and to the federal supreme court. brazilian democracy will prevail over violence and extremism. and reaction also came from tat giants, who once again, pick sides in the political standoff matter announce they will remove all content that supports the former president of brazil and has backers. and that promotes the

protests that slat the country in advance of the election. we designated brazil as a temporary high risk location and have been removing content, calling for people to take up arms or forcibly invade congress. the presidential palace and other federal buildings were also designating, this is a violating event, which means we will remove content that supports or praises these actions. although matter stands on sensor and content varies greatly according to the situation. when iran was struck with a wave of violent protest beginning last year, also murder, the iranian leader were not censored according to the company's oversight board. such messages did not violate a rule barring violet threats as they were rhetorical political slogans. former and why you professor michael rectinwald's says facebook has been serving government interest since a company founding. facebook has been blocking content since its inception. its was funded by the cia to begin with. it's always been

a state apparatus. and likewise, it served those interests. so there's nothing new about this in the sense that this has been going on. it's all just coming out. now, of course, they're going to support any opposition to the iranian government, but they're going to block any opposition to the current brazilian government. this is what they do, they have a certain narrative and they want that narrative, want all parties to adhere to that narrative and they will punish and disappear. people that don't the so called democratic values. these people are least democratic people. you can imagine this is, this is a total, a terry and regime we're dealing with here. and that's a rob on the hour and we top stories for more up to the minute update, head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble, and god,

thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back next hour. the ah the news ah with mm welcome.
