world war has already started. epicenter is of course, ukraine. it's a western war against russia and china. if the scholar is correct, then we can expect to be living in a very dangerous world for a very long time. a presidential office admit that you could talk to them in peace tools and moscow last year was murdered by mistake. all to report said he was killed by the clean national security service being a russian by pushing us interest over time. the song tries with the after that how the content media is describing the us treasury secretaries 11 day visit to africa a. 2 over

a 1000000 people take it to the, to protest against my calls climb to reason that for retirement age is 64 percent of petroleum is the emphasizes the importance of increasing his countries fuel import from russia. despite western factions, if we can have russian crude flowing through our system would be very helpful. a significant child, a life from moscow. it's just past 11. am here local time. it's great to have with us . i want to mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. ukraine is presidential office, says i lack of coordination in the cleaning services related to the keeping of a key delegation member off of the firm a peaceful with musto last year,

thus offer employed by the we'll see joe said the you could in national security service, the s b u. murder, denise kiff, on the claim that he was a traitor, but an advisor to ukraine's presence when he has affirmed he actually wasn't one when you have, he's not a russian agent. his murder happened due to the fact that there was no unified coordination between the law enforcement agencies. there was certain claims against him that was not enough time to settle these claims in a dialogue format. they shot him dead in cold blood, dumped his corpse on the side of the road in the center of kiev, and accused him of spying for the russians. this was how you cranes security services rewarded. denise kit iv in march of last year for is invaluable help as an informant. before and right after russia launched its military operation in ukraine, s b. u agents pulled up and ordered the military intelligence agents, and mister careers body guards to surrender their weapons. mister korea was

directed to a mini van. his security detail lay prone on the street, is the van drove away. about 90 minutes later, the military intelligence agents were summoned to the spot where they found mister korea's body. turns out though, it was all a big mistake, days after he was killed, as a trader, k of was buried as a hero, next to ukraine's 1st foreign minister. after all, the guy helped keep negotiating team big time at the bellows cease. fire talks in march of last year, as they stalled rushes offensive with the illusion of good faith negotiations, ukrainian forces prepared for all our combat, according to ukrainian general today of even credited with tipping off key of about russia's military operation. the apparently told ukrainian intelligence that russian forces sought to capture and tone of airport outside of kias and to use it to bring in reinforcements that heads up gave key have enough time to prepare. the

airport was rendered useless in the in suing battle. and this tip off is remembered as a moments that could have made or broken key as war effort. if it were not for mr. curious, most likely keith would have been taken extra judicial murder dumping the body in the street and not even bothering to conduct a small investigation. he definitely has an interesting way of saying thank you to it's most willing collaborators. the ukranian intelligence service is a force onto itself. it's not fully controlled by the korean government. vladimir zelinski, therefore, is not the person who's totally in charge. the s b you seems to have a higher authority and the case of dennis care correct if it killed him, executed him on a street at point blank range without any kind of trial, without any official inquiry on, on under its own asserting. they killed a man who the government of the crane now says, was actually a national hero,

a suggest that that far right forces are operating as they please. in the ukraine, the government has only limited control over their activities and is afraid to exert its authority. is afraid to bring such forces to heal. meanwhile, heavy fighting continues along. the dumbass frontline russian troops are coming closer taking the key strategic city of our timos, also known as bottled martian soldiers, including the dumbass established goes brigade, all fighting to take control of the heights surrounding the village of sport near seizing those fights would open the road to service and leave the army to mosque. o city foes, he strategic significance for any future push to overtake the remaining dumbass territories. o t. arabic, sidney correspondence argon hud via has been observing russian fumes as these

tactical drones in the local fights. kill her with her were fighting continues on the don bass front line. the village of spore. noah is under the crossfire of the russian forces. taking this territory opens the way to the city of savor ski. but as you can see, ukrainian troops are located at 1.5 to 2 kilometers from us. here's an open spot, so i have to move fast so that the ukranian artillery doesn't fire at us. and we're not spotted by drones, as there are many here. so we provide our troops with surveillance and artillery support, and together we slowly and steadily move forward. by european we'll see europe trans play an important role in spotting the movements of ukrainian troops. the identification of targets allows artillery to show the enemy's fortify positions, which gives the russian assault teams an opportunity to move forward. only this way,

the artillery achieves great results with enemy trenches cleared, and our guys are entering them when the enemy is suppressed. now we just hit the targets as planned, and mary fierce fighting goes on here as well as across the whole front line. but we're foreign mercenaries fight side by side with ukranian nationalists, door store globally from my experience when we faced both mercenaries, nationalists mostly prevailed. you can judge by the fact that i am standing here and talking to you, and that is to me, a say, taking for naya and the high ground positions around it opens the way to savers for russian troops. that is an important city. just like our chum with spock moot, we're fighting intensifies as well as solid. our which was recently taken by the wagner group. it will further lead to striking ukrainian troops in the direction of love yancey and chrome, a tourist sort of gone. ha, dia, r t, dynette, republic, russia. let's head over now to africa where the

us treasury secretary is on, on 11 thee. so the content, including senegal, zombies, and that leads as south africa. she has described the visit either stepped towards further economy corporation. the united states is committed to building on africa, significant progress in economic development over the past few decades. africa successful means success for all of us. and the united states is here as a partner to help africa realize its massive economic potential. african, the media outlets have been saying the true purpose of the trip is to promote washington's interests over the over the strong ties of the constant halves with china and russia. are tease africa corresponding carbon attack law as the details. the us treasury secretary, jenna jalen, will touch down in the west african state of senegal. this friday. it's all part of jo biden's intention and campaign promised to give more focus to africa over the

next 2 years. yolanda message will mirror that of how colleague u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking, who was on his african safari last year in august, yolande will highlight the strides that the continent has made over the last couple of decades. while also emphasizing of the united states is a pardon i and a friend to the continent. the irony here, of course, is that the african continent has developed in spite of america's absence and neglect. africa would not be weighed, is today without the massive chinese investment in infrastructure and mineral resources. but the visit is also part of a larger context of influence on the continent, the us government sees the growing influence of other superpowers, namely russia in china is a threat to american interest. here the view of the official u. s. africa strategy. the people's republic of china, by contrast,

sees the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. advances own narrow commercial and geopolitical interests, undermine transparency and openness, and weaken us relations with african peoples and governments. russia views the region as a permissive environment for paras startles, and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. the 3 country visit starting in seliger will also include zambia and south africa. and it comes fresh of the heels of the you with africa salad held early in december. president joe biden, houston over 40 african hands of things in washington. and during the summit, his administration main deals and commitments to the tune of some $15000000000.00 over the next 2 years to the continent. which pales in comparison to the chinese quantum. like many african countries i above ambia is struggling with debt and it's defaulted on it's dead repayment in 2020. if one of many african countries to apply

to the g $24.00 is nearly $13000000000.00 worth of debt to be restructured. and that the common framework mechanism of the g 20 china holds a 3rd of zambia debt. but despite that, the west lane has been to vilify the east and giant even though the majority of zambia that is held in western institutions in africa, southernmost country, a growth resistant economy is being further hampered by the growing intensity of power. despite south africa's woes, yellen is expected to push that old. i'm a pause in his cabinet on the pace of transitioning from coal to clean energy sources. the united states is one of 5 countries. that's promised south africa a point $5000000000.00 to ditch cold from greener energy sources. but there's no such thing as a free lunch and weary africans will be looking out for the pre conditions that the

united states government is so well known for government had for r t janitor. now the europe or more than a 1000000 people have taken to the city throughout france to protest against present emanuel macros plan to raise the country's retirement age by 2 years to 64 . ah. while president blackwell is saudi, a friendship tree with spain and barcelona public troughing flight schools, i'm businesses that frog would disrupted by way of labor strikes as well as wolf.

off the jobs, several dozen people will reportedly detain them and crashes with police all to contribute to rachel lawson as well. so the opening act of union lead protests over french pension reform on thursday. saw protesters clashing with police in riot gear and tossing firecrackers at them near the by steve, where the 3 hour march, wrapped up. now at the beginning of the march, there was also a group qualified by the french press as black blocks who tossed smoke bombs at the police and got returned volleys of tear gas. now union organizers estimate 400000 participants were in paris and about 1200000 in the region. now, of course, the has to be tempered by official interior ministry figures, which usually tends to be a lot less. and we'll see what they come up with. and usually the reality is somewhere between the 2, transportation came to

a virtual halt in paris and across much of france about 70 percent of teachers walked off the job and energy sector workers held the delivery of fuel to gas stations. now, there were even threats of cutting power to french officials, homes. all of this is because french president, a major in my home, wants to bump the retirement age to 60 for, for a larger chunk of the french workforce. what he isn't touching however, is all the special regimes that still allow some workers to leave much earlier in their fifties, with gold plated pensions. in some cases, of course, a labour strike in france would not be complete with without some good old fashioned, gratuitous huffs were fair and rich bashing. no, what article can we claim that we no longer need billionaires in france? we want no billionaires in france. really a tough cell when workers are already paying one of the highest social security tax

rates on the planet at 2223 per cent. and that doesn't even include the other 45 percent of the gross salary that's peeled off their paycheck by the employer and sent to the government of which they see none at all. by the way, my call was not even in the country today. he was conveniently down in barcelona, assigning a french spanish friendship deal. i guess that was lucky pension reform was one of michael's campaign promises way back in 2017. and he was just gearing up to tackle it in december 2019 with about 250000 protesters taking to the streets of paris back then, right up until coven head. and it's been shelves ever since, until now. now on the other side of the atlantic, there have also been persistent mass protest and peru has demonstrated school for

the recently in will, would present to resign. president, deena bolton was sworn in last month off of the previous head of state who allied pedro castillo was out sick of attempting to dissolve. congress protests have erupted throughout the country, and more than 40 people have been reported killed amid classes with the police. then i say it is of largest rest, support for free with president castillo, who was taken into custody after he tried to strip powers away from the governor's judicial branch on corruption obligations. now to energy rushes, energy minister on a visit to pakistan's, express readiness to move. busy forward with the development of a major gas pipeline project pakistan stream. he made those comments. i made a meeting with the pakistan prime minister about increasing russian fuel supplies to the south asian country. all she has heard directly from pakistan's petroleum is

about the growing energy ties of in moscow. and is them about we have a long standing, no conversation, ongoing conversation about park street. so the discussions are about that project, removing the discussions about the import of energy or ongoing. so really if you look at it, the, the projects are the big project that we're right now discussing is the energy security of pakistan. we import about 70000000 barrels of crude oil. and so if we can have russian crude flowing through our system, it would be very helpful. a significant chunk of that europe is taking energy from russia. and if you look at the quantum of energy that europe is taking

right now from russia and compare what park is done even in times to come, may take, it's not even going to be a small fraction. our neighboring countries are taking energy, taking or taking gas from, from russia. so if europe is okay to take energy from the russian federation, and if our neighboring countries are quite okay, taking energy from russia, then i don't see any serious concern. we are about 220000000 people and we boys to grow to become about 349000000 people by by the 2050 right now in the region. we have lowest energy per capita utilization. that energy

per, per cap. not only our population is going to increase, but our energy per capita utilization is also going to increase. therefore, if we want to increase gdp by 4 percent or 5 percent every year, which is what our target is, then we need to grow our energy needs by 7 to 8 percent minimum a year on year. so that just gives you a sense of what kind of energy needs we have and therefore how important strategic energy partnership is for us. put a pass says key in the stop at the game hung guarantee after reason actions taken. again, the hunger is living in less than the grain. we don't understand exactly how anti hungarian decisions and measures help ukraine in the war against russia. we call on the local leaders to immediately in the atrocities against the

hungarians. if ukraine wants to be a member of the european union, the continuous and systematic harassment and deprivation of rights of a national community is unacceptable. the call came off to revolt at a local hungarian school director sacks in the city of mac, a shiver in west and ukraine is the latest spots between buddha person keith, which interrupted in 2017. when you claim new education or restrict to the teaching of minority languages, lucas shiver has a significant hungarian minority living there. media of. busy is also kind hungarian flags were removed from settlements. meanwhile, media revolves claim that hungary has brought 500000000 euros worth of emerging funding to ukraine. we got insight from european and geopolitical expert, george. similarly, he says each member's state hungry is in a tight position that choice assert its own rights regarding ukraine,

despite pressure from the block. lee, and here is a really, between a rock in our place. they wanted every which way on the one hand, hungary is on board with the use sanctions policy. it's on board with nato. and yet, at the same time, it has to see the reality that you have a extremely nationalistic xenophobic regime that came to power in, in 2014 and is persecuting all of the minorities in ukraine, primarily the russian which are very substantial minority, but also the hungarian minority, it's country wine and it's been a long standing. this isn't just something that cropped up the other day. the authorities in here have banned the instruction in schools by minorities

in their minority languages. so they banned the secondary education to be taught in hungarian, just like a ban secondary education to be taught in russian and and romanian polish. i mean that it, all of them are, it is a, have been no repressed by the regime in clear us authorities in miami have detained a russian national who heads the crypto exchange bits latso on allegations that he helped launder $700000000.00. we heard from an industry expert who says that while the us me, the last 5 that russian crypto boss, another much more infamous american 11 of the scandal, rocks m, f t x is what we welcomed. to give interviews also contribution, chris ems discuss the issue with like holy, you know,

union of it just reads like a tabloid piece. right. it's got out of these, these or they, she claims it, it that you know that it's got all the, all the, all the qualities that you'd want. if you me to give tabloid piece in a newspaper, drugs and russia, they even caught him a cook. that's what they say at the top. the platform was designed full crooked. so it's very interesting, it's kind of sort of like, you know, that got to find another food guy for the full guy that they, that they had in, in sam bagman freed in f t x which they all bought. so who do guy for you go for the largest institution in the crypto? well, which is finance, the actual currency exchange itself, fad bits late. so what, what, what gives a sense of its scale? how important globally it is. yeah, it's relatively small impacts until today. you know, i'd not even heard of, it's not been around this industry for quite a long time. figure 700000000 signs like a lot. but when you contrast it to others, such has been on. ringback exactly you, i mean for the, for finance, i think that would be that, that beat not even half they trading volume on the, on a weekly basis, right, is how much is going through them?

so it's quite interesting that the u. s. government are making such a big noise about something that no one's ever heard of and how that's gonna impact the industries that release is very difficult to say. i think the interesting thing is that they have tried to claim the finance was a counterpart to this trade. finance is the crypt behemoth. now the f t x doesn't exist. finance really is the big boy in the industry. so putting their name in a document for such a very, very small that's a trivial exchange in the industry is very, very significant. and how at regulators and governments are going to now react to by not because they've been named say, will be very interesting to watch. just coming back to f t x that in criminal investigation, it was the headline stories for months. drilling. people might remember that the curly haired gentleman who the funder of it and he was released on $250000000.00 bomb to run to a month ago. now, do you see differences? do you see parallels what, what's happening there? and indeed, in terms of being released on bail like the f t x founder was,

do you think that's going to happen now to this occasion? yeah, it's fair to see that start with that point he's, there's no way he's going be long bail for one reason. because he is not a us citizen. the other interesting thing is that they've made all of this noise on what's called in the u. s. a criminal complaint. and that means that the authority suspects him. but he hasn't actually been indicted or charged by the offense in the us to be charged. it has to go in front of something called a grand jury, which is a load of people that, that are on a jury where they read, read the evidence that the, the prosecutor has, and then make a decision whether thereabouts we charged. they haven't done that since case they just made all this noise. we don't even know if this guy will be charged yet, or indicted as they say that was in the s b f case. we waited for the indictment. he was allowed to pretty much wander around the bahamas. he was even doing press interviews to bloomberg. all these big financial programs that you know, he was giving interviews. he's basically half his larry run wondering on when there was clear evidence that he committed these, these brady, heinous financial crimes. and whereas in this case this guy is basically known to no one who's now been sort of put up,

put on this poster. it is big russian super criminal mastermind villain. which is which is bizarre. really. there's a really interesting story on all t dot com about audit shows. pentagon lost track of bill said that i will be back at the top of the hour. ah is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation or community? ah, you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted you to descend ah, join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah ah, the moving

business. and you can see in the pre rugby shoes and medical graham, we just got to it is just such a certain individual stuff such for him is 9 different suited until you get thrown with them the problem. and you're still not sure if you're sick, if you brought in that the study skills on just the cleaning of place to come in to enough on ok which which in the longer it was just up to just a moment because i knew a divorce, useful or cold running, don't know for the don't know is actually just giving me other than just opinion for us is come on

i blue

a miss i think it will be you know, my dad's got very sick and at midnight he called me and said he's not very well, sometimes we feed is the 1st stress, all brent pressure the so or bus, right. i would like to get it to be more about why do you figure these? because for a long time ago my dad.
