a with mm ah, germany, he's vice chancellor hughes is vladimir not causing the energy crisis raging in europe. but critics claim berlin's only got itself to place all to coming up in the program with senior indian government minister i q u. s. format giant pfizer of having attempted to dully new delhi and to providing legal protection from any side effects elevator called the back seat, also ukrainian unit with russian game along the river. here as aerial drones become a major,

come out adult fighting for don't bias. we see you to the front, corresponding detail to the effects of weaponized, new even used to work with across the world are run the clock. this is your r t international great to have you with today. my name's unit in germany's vice chancellor highs taken. direct aim not vladimir, accusing the russian president of being responsible for the energy crisis across europe. half of the gas supply to germany stopped because putin has cut it off. now the supply has been stopped completely and it will not come back to us. with the help of these 3 power stations, we will get back at least a quarter of what we have lost. it kinda seems like germany is vice chancellor seems to be not entirely in touch with reality shore berlin is going to have to

burn more coal. now, to heat german homes, but it's the west that shot itself in the foot here. i mean, russia has time and time again reiterated that it is committed to fulfilling its contractual obligations when it comes to energy supplies. and it's done just that through the turk stream pipeline, and even through ukraine, although at a lower rate than took place last year, because kia back in may started closing down russian pipelines that were pipelines that were shipping russian gas to the european union. then there's poland, that placed sanctions on gas problem and then refused to pay for russian gas in rubles, despite the fact that european union sanctions made it impossible to do otherwise. and at the end of the last year, they even seized and stole data from assets still on polish. territory just appears every time we hear criticism such as this, it's very convenient for countries to forget that they were pushing these green

solutions so far so hard. it comes after cold, but yes, the blame is just squarely in one place as well as out. there's the north stream pipeline sabotaged in september. we shouldn't forget about either. how does that affect the, the gas supply in germany? well, after the series of explosions across these north stream pipelines, the swedish investigation confirms that this was an act of sabotaged by a state actor actually. and interestingly enough gas problem was not even allowed to participate in this investigation. this is something that understandably made moscow think that the west perhaps had something to hide. and it really makes you wonder, out of all of the global powers who would be most interested in destroying these pipelines and covering up an act of sabotage like that. it was he who is interested in the russian gas supply to europe going only through ukraine. it's the one who blew up the north stream pipeline, just to talk more about liquefied natural gas european countries. increasingly

turning to that and protecting from the u. s. at much higher price is done, they would get from russia, just take us through the ins and outs of that. well, like you said, the brussels is investing billions and billions of euro's into infrastructure right now, in the hopes that liquefied natural gas will be able to satisfy the european union's energy needs. and that's not only costing the european taxpayer a lot of money right now, because at the end of the day, liquefied natural gas is going to make energy imports a lot more expensive. and a lot of that pricing is going to go straight into the pockets of american energy corporation. something that the white house has said that it's been trying to do, even before russia's military operation began. so let's take a listen. what joe biden said, 1st of all, we are looking at opportunities to make up for lost cash l n g, from russia. we're on your way of turn,

how see what we can do to do that, do, did dealing with our friends around the world as well? we think we could make up a significant portion of it. oh, that would be lost. it's is it brussels and washington doesn't think that they don't think that inflation and these high energy prices are making people's lives difficult enough. and understandably, many europeans have taken to the streets to protest the west's anti russian policies here. ah, ah, now doesn't look like western authorities are going to be changing course any time soon. but what's equally, as unfortunate is all this finger pointing at russia for energy problems that the west clearly made for itself. staying with this story,

german attorney ameritas professor of law at the university of south africa, dr. andre thomas house and believes europe crusade against russian energy. that's what has led to the search in prices. it is quite obvious that russia never stopped to supply any guess. it is in germany and european union in there have been something there. 'cause, i could even say it again. it's bratia who, who publicly every day put in my full puts in, must be removed and no more gas from russia. and the german public was pretty bad for an increase in gas prices with the reasoning that out of sort of that ukraine. germany would not buy one gigawatt hour of rush guess. now the germany economy depends. its energy economy depends $0.55 on natural gas. and

45 percent on natural gas from russia to replace the very short notice that started importing natural gas liquified whole and n g. the price of gas in germany is not fixed. for higher, the price for electricity has increased tenfold. the russian ministry of defense has reported that its troops have taken control over another settlement in don bos, official state staff. the settlement of debris were at chia near solid door in the done yet the republic has come under russian control the m o. d added that ukrainian forces in the area had suffered approximately 50 casualties in recent fighting with russian troops destroying 2 armored combat vehicles, as well as other pieces of artillery hardware. needless to say, harriet drones have become a major components in this conflict as well as others. of course,

now they're used for conducting reconnaissance operations, as well as destroying enemy positions are senior correspond. murat cast the of reporting from the frontline saw the effects of them up close. this close to the front lines. roads are immortal. hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover, even that scant. ah, relatively less the closest they are is 700 meters away at 3 o'clock through in a total of 3 directions. also at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock and our boys are there to their rotating today that they're doing well in this area was recently ceased from ukrainian forces. they know every part, every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions must be

extra careful. drones guide them along. ah, we're scouting ahead to make sure that the way is clear and that our boys will get there safely. these soldiers wish to robin volunteers of the act, my battalion, answering to the church and president rams, and could thereof, to ensure everything went smoothly. a flaw, support team, armed with an automatic grenade launcher, was ordered to dissuade the enemy from trying anything. some of the most intense fighting he's underway, ukrainian units are desperate to reverse russian gains along the river. here through the rotation was the success. but as the drone flew back,

it noticed something unusual. fresh fortifications and the enemy troops concealed under the tree cover or espana discovered enemy positions at a distance of 450 to 750 meters away from us. their group targets enema fortifications, armor and vehicles. within minutes coordinates were reported to h q at the orders went out to nia by artillery m i l. blue bay. the mission had changed. they were now to keep it a distance and correct artillery fire. without corrections were laid. the next barrage struck home. although i'm on my legal, i get this is biker right on the target that repeat, this is modern warfare. this book is the dominant form of combat across the

frontline artillery. andrew, in the seamless lethally on the front lines, soldiers have learned to fear thrones. they always watch and listen. put the characteristic by that heralds a barrage of iron, fire, and shrapnel way for o at yahoo thea. haughty from the gods. can let's turn attention to south asia, where indians tech minister has accused us farmer giant pfizer, of pressuring the country's government to give it legal protection. in the case of side effects emerging from its cobit vaccine, the allegations marked as strong reputable by an indian parliament member who himself was accused of supporting western jobs over domestically purchased once. just to remind all indians that pfizer tried to bull as a government of india into accepting conditions of indemnity. and jerome romesha

kept pushing the case of foreign vaccines during covered. this is total book. mister minister. let not your ambition to climb the greasy pole. make you more of a liar than you are. and in 2021, pfizer was among the 1st vaccine producers to apply for emergency use authorization in india. but it went through the application after the countries pharmaceutical watchdog requested a clinical study to confirm the safety of the shult. later the same year. india confirmed it wouldn't by fighters job with report seeing the company's demands for legal protection was the primary reason at the world economic form in davos this week pfizer is c e o brushed off some direct questions about the vaccine safety and its effectiveness. you said it was a 100 percent effective, then 90 percent. that 80 percent then 70 percent. but we now know that the vaccines do not trans stop transmission. why did you keep that secret overnight?

good. i won't have a nice day until i know the answer. why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission this morning to be called regarding the now regarding the lease that i not reviewed. because the, and also one of the 1st was for emergency. but lisa developed and we have no look back for the like know, and most of the back see i'll be right back to be given a $2200000000.00 back. they even have been administered and didn't get a lot. so you need more into this

thing with cobit controversies. recent studies by european in jews have claimed that e u vaccine deals, including again with pfizer, prioritized financial interests over public health concerns are to contributor rachel marston's been delving deeper into this one. jerry jose, the european union rolled out a block y q r code system has proven vaccination for travel leisure. and in some cases a condition of employment. even as reports started raising doubts about how reliable the shot actually was when it came to stopping infection transmission and even death. it's like there was this interest in brussels to move fast and getting shots into arms as quickly as possible. and getting this digital identity system linked to the job status into place as an incentive for people to take the shots. now for months, skeptical members of the european parliament have been demanding to know what kind

of deal the blocks leadership actually signed with the manufacturers of these injections. we're talking here about 11 contracts, 4600000000 vaccines, and 71000000000 euros of public money transferred to big pharma. and so far, neither the citizens who paid for all of this nor their elected representatives have been able to get full transparency on any of those deals. here's what new research just published by french and g o global health advocates and by the u. k based health, non profit stop aids, has to say about it. the you signed agreements cloaked in secret and resisted efforts to disclose any information. protecting commercial interests, we argue, came at the expense of transparency around pricing, delivery schedules, those transfer climates, and intellectual property commitments that could have helped increase global access to vaccines. secrecy in short hut, public health with an unaccountable driver. the public had been taken for a ride. the reports also draw attention to the lack of interest on the part of

certain big pharmacy yos when it comes to accountability towards their customers there, and clients who received and ultimately paid for the jobs being average european citizens to make matters worse. phases, ceo al, but bowler has twice, refused to appear in front of her pin parliament's coven committee, to answer questions about how the contract negotiations were carried out. an old decision for a company who claims to be very transparent. it turns out that pfizer, c. e. o borla is also the same one who was exchanging private text messages with european commission present. ursula vander line the month before the pfizer contract was negotiated. now, how do we know that? because vander lined, said so herself in april of 2021. and those texts have magically vanished, and wagner line doesn't really seem to be too interested in making an effort to recover them forensically. so earlier this month,

european parliamentarians on the blocks coven 19 committee, expressed their interest in having fonder line answer to their committee. on these contract negotiations by peering in person, but of course she can just decline just like borla did, which has now led the committee to request that world is access privileges to the european parliament. he revolts and access to you. politicians for corporations under lobbyists, is pretty much priceless. between january 20, 20, and september 2022 senior european commission officials and pharmaceutical lobbyists. i close to 100 meetings with 30000000 euro spent on you lobbying in a single year. that's according to the ngos reports which also touch on the lip service that the e u paid to global unity against hope. it. while at the same time gate, keeping it cove technologies and practicing a sort of medical apartheid by keeping the jobs out of the hands of countries that

perhaps weren't in a very good position to pay big pharma as much as what you're of was a bathroom lobbying and shady deals have made their way into the spotlight in the ear recently with the arrest of officials and personnel, accused of corruption over linked to lucrative could tarry and murat can lobbying efforts. and now with this report suggesting that's just the tip of the iceberg. if the e u is serious, about transparency, at least as serious as vulgar line says she is in the wake of the target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy e o bodies. instead of hiding from the people, she's actually meant to serve modern barbarism. that's our turkey flood. they protest by a controversial swedish danish political figure who burned the koran in the name of

democratic values. rasmus paloton set fire to the slums. holy book in front of the turkish embassy in stucco. the permission of the swedish authorities during his speech. he also brandon turkeys, president, i quote, islamist 6, tater little is known for organizing. similar stones in the past was convicted of racism in denmark after posting an anti islam video on social media. last year, his license was to embark on a koran burning tour during the muslim holy month of ramadan, cause public outrage spark lives in sweden. well, turkey has condemned the swedish authorities for allowing the latest protest seeing it encouraged, hate crime. i cra also counsel they plan visit of sweden's defense minister over the issue, which was aimed at resolving turkeys. concerns about stock homes bid to join nato, and according to t r t world center at large use of aaron, the events could weigh heavy on sweden's official hopes. i think it was trying to

send a message that we are not ready to become a member of nato, and that's the way i start receiving it. because now me sweden, accession bid, and a potential ratification through the turkish parliament. a very pop issue that it probably can be considered dead on arrival now probably for the rest of the year. i don't think the conversations don't get opened up any time. the images are now very busy that created a lot of outreach and you get like a lot of outreach inside the muslim world. the proper, you alienated many of the needle members who are advocating on trying to create some dialogue with to get to try to get to get the ratified we need it. so the other day back home is now its own worst enemy, and it probably shot a silver bullet in its own. but now,

in spite of increasing pressure from washington to europe is dragging its feet on, apparently not shipping enough arms to ukraine. the u. s. defense secretary was in germany at the rump spine or a bass on friday, but after that meeting, berlin said they would not commit to sending its leopard to main. bustled tanks to ukraine, not while a french politician is wanting the dangers of sending the heavy weapons under pressure from american hawks, you countries are going into total delirium over the delivery of increasing. we have the weapons to lensky mcroy and may even donate the clerk tanks. american hawks won a world war in europe between different european countries. hungary, croatia close to them, serbia, they're all saying what was going on. why are the western european countries nato countries sending these weapons? it's not working. and now we've got people like audrey was there, who is the chairperson of the germans armed forces association,

which is telling the german government to stop sending weapons because it's depleting its own stocks. and we know this throughout nato. nato countries are depleting their own stocks for i would say a policy which is which is not working in different countries. the small countries i would say courageous countries like hungry and croatia are voicing their concern and saying, why are we doing this? what is, what is the use of this? this is pro, tracking the war, and it's driving us further into it which can at the end be extremely dangerous for us, which is interesting. this thing is the smaller countries think that they don't believe in the, and the war mongering rhetoric coming out from the nato countries within the u. well, they use not just calling with the us, but amongst itself to croatia. president had some choice words for european union foreign policy chief use of burrell. i choosing the blocks leadership of humming a condescending attitude towards member state burrell, sent cortetia

a memo last month filled with lies in which he treats us as if we were retarded. excuse my language as if we had special needs at some point enough is enough. this kind of treatment is deeply irritating. today they do this to hungary, tomorrow it will be some other bigger country. they want to bring into line. they did it to poland until recently to poland. now gets a past due to the situation in ukraine, but their turn will come again to morrow. if the e u wants to progress it has to accept this diversity of a croatian president. made those comments during a press conference in budapest with his hungarian counterpart. both of those countries remain opposed to the empty russia sanctions, which as they say only hurt europe, the croatian leader accused the ease leadership of failing to acknowledge the individuality of each of its members. states, we raise the issue with the head of the euro constant, think tank peer

a manual to mon. earlier the comments of or christian a president reflects v huge struggle of power between a member states, nations and or european bureaucracy. european union bureaucracy would like to or use each crises in europe, internal and external to add more power and or to were impose its own views on the european project. and as some member states are resisting, especially you're now home gary, for example, which is refusing over your interpretation of a rule of law of european union or and her or so it's approach on ukraine and no croix shaw is siding more. we've hungary, these 2 countries, curation, hungary think her european union should better of the boat. are you europe,

as she does ish, and, and not as an appendix of nate to in washington. jupiter got objectives while, while publicly playing down the idea that bulgaria would provide any military assistance to ukraine, sophia is actual deeds may well have exceeded kiev biggest expectations with its supplies of arms and fuel to ukrainian forces. that's what's not being brought to light by former bulgarian government officials. we estimate that about a 3rd of the ammunition needed by the ukrainian army in the early phase of the war came from bulgaria. our private military industry was producing at full speed. bulgaria became one of the largest exporters of diesel to ukraine, and at times, covered 40 percent of ukraine's needs trucks and tankers. regularly went to ukraine via romania and in some cases, the fuel was also loaded on to freight trains. while in an interview with the vel

to media cliff, the politicians said they avoid a direct transactions between the governments and use interim media tree to supply weapons to ukraine. according to the reports of vs and diesel fuel process from russia supplied crude oil. the country's former prime minister said the initiatives were kept secrets amid stark opposition from the ruling coalition. and the public port suggests some 70 percent of bulgaria residents are concerned over the possibility of being drawn into the conflict unopposed, sending 8 to key it back in june. crill, pet cough and his coalition government resigned after losing a vote of confidence. however, he said to run again an upcoming elections that will take place this spring. german of the bulgarian national peace console, not co. stefan of believes it's the inability of pro nato parties to listen to the

public in bulgaria. that's brought the country to a political crisis. the problem is that the system a so called but a method democracy in bulgaria is very far from what is bullshit to say people, democracy in bulgarian bottle med, you 2, it was created to show gold beauty, grow nuno a bloody girl. late door unity among the mo, the biggest spot is in budget and puddle, a man better now struggling to receive the support from red e. u and u. s. u. v. stud between them, this is the problem, the most of bulgaria else, ah, supporting cause of peace. you breathe, you can't russia and butter against this sandy go from and you should of diesel over battle and so on. don't you, can you see? so it's a big difference between this officer position and verb position of common

people in bulgaria. the people don't believe in vis bodies. and because that that is a big strike between them. but they can't create a government. now as the twitter file scandal continues to shake the world of social media and beyond, a key journalist behind the revelations my pangborn has been discussing the scale of the u. s. government's involvement on ortiz whistle blowers show up episode. so you'll find here. next are on r t, but he should preview one of the reasons that the 100 by the story was picked as the 1st thing that we looked at is because i had a suspicion that we, if such a thing existed, we might see it there. and as a result, you know, the, that search turned out to be flawed. it was bedded as we learn later by a former f

b. i general counsel. we ended up finding some things that gave indications of government interference and that in that particular episode. but we found much more broad evidence in other areas. the f. b, i reported several accounts to twitters trust and safety team for allegedly spreading election. this information was this relationship proper and appropriate was thousands and thousands of requests. and that came every day and it didn't just come from the f. b, i came from every when the government twitter for a while was trying to say no to the state department. the state department was selling them lists of accounts that they want to flag those chinese or russian or any of this information. there is a moment where an employee at twitter says yes, their conclusions are of the sort that i would normally say, let's just wait and wait for more evidence. but our window on that is closing

and our government partners are becoming more aggressive. now. the executive who said that happens to have a background. 2 ah. 2 a century struggle to return home next week. chronicle the fight by exiles after the u. s. navy expelled the entire creole population of the shake of island in order to install a military base on the indian ocean territory. their story is told me ah ah, the news.
