[000:00:00;00] ah, the, the headlines right now, what are you to national as the russian powered military group was reports having full print troll every strategically important town in the top of all the trouble also known as this coming shortly after another strategic city. that up solid was clear of the ukrainian western fighters and that reach goes back to america, accusers, washington of giving approval to kia for a tax on russian territory including crimea. and what some of calling us, especially the wiring escalation,

really just research group sounds. the alarm over our writing number of christians killed in africa because of their faith concerns of increasing and religiously motivated violence in various parts of the world. the right pushing back on the mainstream narrative and setting the record straight. and welcome to your news here. when i 1st now will go to the latest from the front lines of don bass ahead of russia. as wagner power military group has said that his forces have gained full control over a strategically important sub job of the city of our trauma. it's also known as back move, and the town of cache of curve is less than 10 kilometers from mosque, which has of course mean a vital transport hub for the ukranian military or the head of a bargain group said fierce fighting is ongoing and thereby areas. and previously the russian defense ministry confirmed that the volcanic group made a solid contribution to taking the city of solid are another strategically

important location in that region. meanwhile, locals from the city of october, so widely known as black mood, have praised the wagner group for helping them to evacuate. yes, good. are there still musk i'm summer to musk yesterday. wagner evacuation forces came many thanks to them for pulling south through. otherwise, we would have died there when we left the house and came under fire from the cracking ukrainian nationalist group. we had to drop down to the ground during the sheli. we crawled about 3 to 400 meters during the day. and at night we walked a very long distance and my grandmother couldn't even walk. we carried her on a stretcher. were very thankful to the wagner group, through or through during the vacation were taken out by the wagner grew. god bless them. the shelling has nazis for a 2nd over the last 4 days. although we showed no signs of being part of the military when you and was ukrainian forces that were shelling, fortune to elicit all it's very difficult in our chill musk right now, just like in mar, you pull, may be even worse since august. we have been living in the basement of our house,

not going out anywhere. ukrainians were shooting at us civilians because most likely they have political issues against us. we were evacuated by the wagner group . they came at night. they said we need to leave urgently. we were getting out of the ruins, as soon as we came out of the basement, the ukrainians started shooting nearby. while meantime, russia's ambassador to america says, washington has given key of direct approval for attacks on crimea using american weapons. you made those comments in response to an assertion by the u. s. state department that crimea is ukranian territory and thus not off limits for a ukrainian military offense. commentators nameless hume that russia will not retaliate for attacks in his territory. it should be obvious to everyone that we will destroy any kind of weaponry supplied to the zelinski regime by the americans are native. isn't it clear that pumping your crane with more weaponry, no matter where it is produced in the us,

or any other native country will only lead to an increase in the deaths of civilians? the rhetoric of us officials is becoming increasingly belligerent. after hearing such remarks from washington, the criminals and keys will feel complete impunity. the risks of the conflict escalating will increase once again. tangela moore, the program ortiz, donal court, are joining us live here that you do a great if you, donald, this story doesn't slow down at all. a lot of people regarding my comment just now, just call and get a potentially wiring escalation. we know about the patriot missile systems and theoretically tanks from america, theoretically, they're all being cold for by the sky and kia. what's the latest here? right, well the both actual supply of tanks from the u. k and potential supply of tanks that we can see from other countries in the west really does present a serious possibility for an escalation and the current conflict. according to reports, france is already getting ready to send tanks to key of and like i said, just now the u. k. has said its sending tanks officially to ukraine and has

actually been pressuring germany to do the same. now at the same time, there's not everyone in the west has been expressed, such willingness to take this conflict to the next level because we saw berlin say that they'll only send their tanks to ukraine if washington agrees to do so. and washington is saying, we're not going to do that right now. what was interesting, again, as you, as you say, so, so sholtes some say show might actually be pushing back in a sense by saying to america, we're going to send our leopard tanks to ukraine into you guys send the abrams. but donal dynastee, the abrams a very heavy, very expensive, they require a remedy to, excuse me, renovation very, very quickly, after 100 hours. right? that's right. these are actually very complicated pieces of machinery and the united states military, of course, has an enormous budget. so they're able to do that, and it's very likely that the high command and the pentagon and us officials aren't so sure they want to risk sending that super expensive high tech machinery to ukraine just for it to get blown up by

a russian missiles essentially. and that's why we have heard from washington, that they're, they're not ready to send these m one abrams tanks. yet, let's take a listen to what they said. we just don't think we're there yet. the abrams tank is a very complicated piece of equipment. it's expensive. it's hard to train on, it has a jet engine. i think it's about 3 gallons to the mile with jet fuel. it's not the easiest system to maintain. now naturally, this stance at washington has taken has actually upset quite a few germans who basically think that the u. s. is trying to sacrifice other people at the altar of its own foreign policy agenda, one german m p basically voice that opinion and also suggested that this is really risky, bringing us closer to a nuclear confrontation. we'll look, i mean, you know, so so, so let's get, he wants the german leopard tank and, and fair play. the left tank is in a class in and of itself. it's a very, very high tech tank. the us abram tank up to 70 tons and weight goes through a huge bunch of gasoline and you need to keep re wiring the system and renovating

it. the u. k. want to send challenge times and the modern times as well. but don't, it's not just times we're talking about america wants to train ukrainian soldiers to operate the patriot missile systems as well. i read a report some way that in order to operate these defense patriot missile system, even 90 people to operators. right. that's why we've heard a lot of talk actually. russian president vladimir putin said once brought attention to the fact that this is going to take tons of effort and manpower just to train the ukrainian military on how to understand how to use this mit this machinery. if it were given patriot missiles and all these tanks, i mean it is possible, of course, that they're already being trained to do that in right now than we just don't know about it. but it's also possible that they're not. and that this will take a lot of effort and likely the, you know, the people who are going to be making that decision. it's going to be in washington and they're going to be asking their european friends to help out with that. and this is again, why this we heard from one german m p that this is actually, you know,

risking escalating everything and the combination of this just blank check of these weapons from the west. going ukraine is really risking a nuclear confrontation. let's take a listen to what you said. western tanks could ultimately provoke the use of nuclear weapons, primarily against germany. that seems to be the deeper reason why washington is so reserved on the subject of supplying tanks, but as forcing its ally to make those sacrifices like a vassal. now it's also important understand that the new york times has reported that the u. s. is ready to help key of strike targets in crimea. this is a real 180 degree 180 to return from last year when the u. s. said ok, will supply ukraine with high mars long range rockets on the condition that they will not strike russian targets on russian territory. so apparently, joe biden, from what we can read from this new york times report has kind of backtracked on

that saying that, you know, it's ok for them to strike targets in crimea because number one, the west doesn't recognize crimea as russian territory, despite the fact that they had a referendum there and voted to become part of the ref, the russian federation. and obviously the united states government wants to strengthen ukraine's position at the negotiating table in the future. okay, that i guess that i get that point, that makes sense where they eventually it is inevitable when they do get to the negotiating table. i guess that would be a good little battering piece of crimea, i guess key would play that. but, you know, we've already seen plenty of reports donald, in recent weeks, a months about about ukraine using drones to go off to certain parts of premier or step of the hole. for example, not that far away. we're talking rushes black sea fleet, correct? and this is like the biggest russian naval fleet that and yet certain western professional partners think it's no problem to take that area back from russia and give it to ukraine. but it's, it's russia black sci fi. i mean, we talk instead of stop, we talking about region dark, it's immensely important. and yet,

what 24 hours ago donald 48 hours ago i was reading on our t telegram channels about these drones being shot down by russia as a defense systems down there. now we thinking drones are one thing, but this next idea from washington could be a massive escalation. right. of course, especially because, of course, like you said, there have been already numerous reports as the ukrainian drones making their way deeper and deeper into russian territory. but tanks are, of course, another, another situation, they're heavy military hardware and that's presents the same kind of risk that long range highmark us supplied rockets. what would have presented if the us said, okay, just go ahead and strike russian territory with them so, so that, that's, that's definitely something we have to understand. and one of the main questions we have to ask is why, why is the west i ask? you are allowing for such an escalation right now. and actually the german chancellor said pretty explain pretty well the west position on, on this. and it's quite simple. basically, they see the west as good,

and they see russia as bad. so let's take a listen to what he said. in order for the war to end russia's aggression must fair . that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our partners. it is extremely important that person to to doesn't win this war party because it will be a tragedy for ukrainians. but when very dangerous for us. because then the message to open italian need is not only to putin but also on the author. tiny. this is that when they use brute force, when they're wrong, it's not for law. they, it, she, what they want. and that will be a very bad. and then your lessons, it will make the world more dangerous and also more vulnerable. if we want to negotiate the peaceful solution to the war ukraine, we need to provide military support your crime. that's the only way. weapons

they are the way to peace. so the nato chief against oldenburg right there, donald basically saying that more weapons and more death, other way to peace. and just before him, donald, the laugh sholtes german chancellor, the man looking surprisingly optimistic didn't his job, didn't his defense minister just quit? yeah, that's right. and you know, this, this kind of rhetoric combined with these recent developments of the potential massive future supplies of western tanks to the ukrainian military. all that combined really makes it scary to wonder. how far will the west go just to spite russia at the end of all this artist on a quarter. always good to see you. thank you. are un representative in charge of coordinating peace efforts in the middle east has called for more accountability for violence by israeli soldiers against palestinians describe the issue with a dangerous cycle of violence. the perpetrators of all acts of violence must be

heading the counter with the bolts justice security forces with exercise maximum restraint the use of the course of all the rest. the other boys, all the big life are despite amounting international pressure. israeli authorities have been withholding the bodies of killed palestinians. the families of the deceased have condemned that practice as well as human rights violation. so more now with middle east correspondent, his maria financial on a sunny day like this 121 years ago. mohammed son shante left his home in a village near annapolis in the west bank and never came back. 2002 was the time of the 2nd intifada and massive palestine in uprising against israeli occupation. mohammed was told shoddy, had been killed by these railey military during clashes between protesters and the army. the family started preparing for a funeral, but more than 2 decades on it still hasn't happened. the garage door soon,

so it was sort of almost 21 years have passed. and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was mod should, but we want to take him and bury him here in the town and read a prayer over his body and know that we return him god, this is all new. wish before would be for a while to this world, with their son still not rested in peace. the parents pain and anger has not been buried either and will not go away before you love you on these rarely so doing this to torture us more or if i had got back his body and buried him, we would have been able to move on. but since i have not got him bag, how can i forget give it up. and so the now sir is our one of around a 1000 other palestine and families who have corpses of dead relatives, been withheld by his railey authorities, had practiced that 1st began in 1967 man women and children are a man them. hussein from jerusalem legal aid and human rights sent a tells me those who were killed and clashes and rage,

but also died in his railey prisons or hospitals elected area for any occupation authorities claim they will use these bodies as pressure and bargaining chips in future prison exchange deals with armed groups in gaza and as a policy of collective punishment for the families. we also expect this is the way to conceal evidence, in cases of extra judicial executions carried out by the occupations soldiers in the cities of the west bank and $48.00 territories. the also says among palestinian families about the issue of organ theft was little bit forgot to be on the center helps the families get the buddies of their loved ones back they go to israeli courts negotiate with the army, police, some cases have 0 progress like shot is one for others legal battles take months and years as of today, more than 300 but is still haven't found their way back home, captain israeli morgues, or buried at so cold cemeteries of numbers near la mon,

autobahn mccoy. i only know about 4 known cemeteries which are military areas that have forbidden to enter. these corpses were buried in an inappropriate manner at a close distance from the surface of the ground. in this cause, many cases of corpse is being washed away and lost in heavy rains and through predatory animals that could dig up the graves. bob goodman fidel is rose, as it has legal authority to hold it. but his palestinian families seed as a violation of international laws and they are human rights. all those we talked to while thurman this report told us they thought that bearing their beloved ones is the worst thing. but now they see that losing them forever without a chance to say a proper good bye is a bit more painful. but even when a family is successful and receives a body bag, they could still be issues. a sam awaited for 37 days for these railey army to return to the body of his youngest son, but could not recognize him. it was flows in his was google, ice ducks,

us for 5 days to defrost the body. because we need the pick up, sued for a for him. what did you want us to show? show he was good for like 3 bullets from back and gloss distance. sama shows me. i'm just room and the clothes he was returned in with holes from the bullet. he believes his 14 year old son, irregular protests against israeli occupation was assassinated by special forces in an ambush prior to and after his death. israel arrested menu of i'm just friends. some others also died. some of the buddies were never returned. it's going to manage when someone kill your son and stole his body. that would perform for his brothers, his cousins, his fans to do something. and that's what's happening. the 10s of these to, to fuel the violence in the area. we conduct a different israeli institutions asking for

a comment on the state practice of detaining buddies. they didn't reply back re from ocean archie from the west bank. well, it's good to have your company for this program and you report claims that the persecution of christians is on the rise with thousands of people killed over the past year, simply because of their faith. now the report by the religious research group opened doors says that 5600 christians were killed just last year said many of those crimes were committed by is the most extremists. it also said that more than a $120000.00 people were displaced due to anti christian violence. and at least $15000.00 christians became refugees. now the report went as far as to say that in some regions, violence against christians is actually condoned by the african nations of somalia at a cray nigeria all listed in the top 10 of the countries where christians report leave face the most violence, the head of the research group said the rate of crimes against christians and

africa. deeply troubling. i think even we were shocked by our own numbers, 7 out of 10 countries where there is the greatest violence against christians are in subsaharan, africa. violence can mean killings and a large percentage of those who were killed for their faith in the last year were in africa. but it can also mean rate. it can mean a reduction. it can be the destruction of property. well, the numbers a big, the research group says 360000000 christians face possible persecution and discrimination simply because of that faith. that's one in 7 christians worldwide. let's break that down. one in 5 christians, prosecuted in africa, 2 and 5 in asia and one in 15 in latin america. well, we discussed all of this with the head of a durian christian association. it is side on the fortunate that in a country. it has a constitutional in the country that has a government and some group of citizens of been you have nothing you picking up

in the school and could not really do it. if you look it up and they do, it is actually being in the, on more than just flying, maybe getting them and please, and healing some of them. and that becomes a good concern if nothing is ever we get, why killing the please. why do you plan to do that to do if you have issues with government and what kind of it was under that could have been in a state where, what's your choice and keep not active. could i miss enough to know so much a bit concerning the christ community, but citizens generally what it because now given seems not to be secured at this moment or the 5 rising, religiously motivated violence in sub saharan africa, local christians and ethiopia in northern te grey region happily celebrated the epiphany holiday this week,

of course dedicated to the baptism of jesus christ. thousands of christians gathered for the event known locally as can cat. it is widely celebrated by ethiopian orthodox christians is a period of religious revival and an occasion to give time for personal prosperity . but also here in moscow epiphany celebrations in full swing crowds of russian orthodox, faithful gathered to take the traditional dip and freezing cold water. on the eve of the holiday ride after a church service, poor old steve sweeney correspondent. he was one of the brave, the icy waters and take the plant. well as predicted, the temperature has dropped slightly. i can feel rein, folding down to my body, but i am making my way now to the ice poland. i'm going to get myself into the freezing cold water. there are a men, the women of all ages are here to day, and many a row already made the plunge into the icy water and the skews of people. now as

you can see, i'm prepared, it is very, very cold. and this is, as i've said, this is about the celebration of epiphany, which is an commemorating the baptism of jesus christ. there are many health benefits that come with diving into the water. so i'm told i'm i'm about to go in. so i'll let you know what it's like when i come out and, and, and how i feel i, with i feel a little bit invigorated. it's quite refreshing getting into the water and i'm plunging my head under 3 times. i can see the benefits of it. and i can see why many people come here and do this every year. i'm not promising the i will come back and do it again. you can see many, many people here still waiting to, to get into the po, see, as we saw, it's not the 1st time i've dipped myself in the waters. it's the 6th time there are always emergency workers here. every one helps, almost identical. what's my youngest son and i tried to dip ourselves in the waters

every year? i think this is very important holiday for orthodox christians. it's a symbol of our faith. while a massive protests have wrapped it in a rest of the eastern region of the democratic republic of congo, it's very near the rwandan border. hunters of local residents. i mean, demanding of the withdrawal of canyon lead international peacekeeping forces, saying they're simply not doing enough to protect them from radical militants. well, police had to use tear gas to disperse the crowds as demonstrators approach the major administration building. this is all happening in the city of goma journalists covering the events that they were injured. at least 2 were reportedly detained by authorities. and the arrest was fueled by news that additional troops from south sudan were arriving. gomez, mayor has badly demonstrations saying the local government was simply besieged by protesters or we heard from residence to say that the international peacekeepers are simply not doing enough to combat the insurgence. specifically,

the ones belonging to m 23 will game for wanted to day were demonstrating against the a see her have come to us. but so far we have found that they are ineffective soldiers and do nothing on the ground to port from certain as a shield for the enemy on march. first of all is supporting the d. r. c. army. so they can launch operations against the m 23 and show the e a. c. all me that it has no reason to be here. we are in the process of claiming all rights in relation to the regional force which had come to intervene in favor of the geospatial me. we want this e c force to be able to rector the france or go home. when i got a policy, we surprised to see how the police are refusing to allow us to demonstrate. we do not want to see kenyans marching in the streets of gomer. again, we're asking the government to say if they do not want to go to war against the m 23, and if not, then leave our city of goma. we don't want them to come like monasco or at about 25 minute path there at moscow, a french farmers have protested against the

e. u. constraints on fertilize a usage by doing what? by burning heaps of manure on the streets of the countries. 4th largest city, the demonstrators in the southern city of to lose spoke out against the e. u environmentalist. policies encroaching upon the agricultural industry. they blocked an entrance to the city and well set fire to stacks of smelly manure. now there have also been a wave of a dissatisfaction against the e u. agricultural restrictions in the netherlands and poland as well. of france. i also faced nationwide strikes this week of upcoming pension reform plans. it's another gone go a headache for president mac ron for the u. s. president joe biden has reportedly failed in his attempt to convince nato ally the netherlands to comply with washington's micro chip sanctions against china. that's according to the us state media. also the voice of america, the report said there was quote no progress or netherlands joining the us trip

export ban on china's fight. spider had hosted the dutch prime minister for talks about suppose it challenges from china in the indo pacific region. the u. s. wants to restrict microchips that it says could be used in china's defense industry, or badgering says measures like that while they violate economic norms and has now called on the world trade organization to intervene. a china is particularly lucrative market for dutch semiconductor equipment, making a s m l. the company had more than $2000000000.00 of sales to china, just in 2021 alone. i walked into an unilaterally imposed restrictions just a few months ago saying it wouldn't push any allies to comply, but reportedly expected the netherlands and japan to follow suit. a major dutch industry company fmi has called for the e u to issue its own ruling about whether to restrict micro trip exports to china, saying, quote, european or tanami is at stake. but we heard from geopolitical expert rasmussen,

who says the dutch government appears more interested in promoting economic ties rather than getting involved in g o economics. fmi technology association is looking for the you itself to come forward and having a consistent policy, which from my understanding they do not. i mean, as with a s m l, i would not want to be playing this geopolitical game. and here i want to do business, and i want to provide the best opportunities here. so i think there's a lot of business already. businesses that are complaining about within a call away across europe. this would just be one more instance on top of that from one of the actually the largest, one of the largest semiconductor providers in the, you know, in the industry in the world. and so this is, this is, i just put a bad taste, i think, across the industry. and i think it would further further aggravate geopolitical la

tensions and industry tensions within europe and, and also ultimately with between european partners and the us. yeah. south western professional partners doing everything they can to stop china from getting it's superconductor. microchips are story continues online right now at auto dot com and your program continues. when we return to the top, ah, ah, in 1834 france invaded algeria, and straight away the french started inhabiting it to strengthen their position.

the colonists, known as p a. no, ours took the best land from day one, the local population was put into an unequal position and was brutally exploited. this gauze, mazda is content. the people of algeria began their long term fight for independence . in 1954, the banner of freedom was raised by the national liberation front. a guerrilla war against the occupants broke out. the french tried to suppress the rebellion using cruel measures. old villages were wiped out acts of georgia and executions of civil people, including pregnant women, children and old people took place more than 2000000 people were put into concentration camps. however, these punitive measures didn't help the algerian patriots managed to induce france to start these negotiations. in 1962 evian records were signed,

voting algeria on the past towards independence. but this was achieved at a colossal price. algeria by rights, is considered to be a country of martyrs. according to the calculation of historians, the french colonists are responsible for the debts of one and a half 1000000 algeria. l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order does that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to create trust rather than a very job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with
