armored vehicles along the front line, russia also says it has hit a plane and intercepted 14 missiles fired by multiple rocket launchers, among which our nato supplied high mars intense fire fights continue. as russian troops advance on the town of money into a don, yes suburb which since 2014 has turned into a stronghold for ukrainian forces are 2 more at that's the of reports from the front lines there. ah, that was an enemy multiple rocket launcher systems strike. one might ink. that is exactly where we're heading. oh, our 24 hours in mud, inca began. now here a flashlight,

he's timed him out to suicide. slowly, half blind, we stumbled to our temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we're spending the night here in martin co, relatively relatively safe. the previous occupants here were ukrainian troops who were literally as you can tell by the wools burned out of here. but this is also the answer as to why the battle for marrying ca 5 gave kapinsky why these battles are taking so long. and that is because these bunkers are everywhere built over the last 8 years by the ukrainian military. built in completely nondescript places above us. this is just a small family whom a private residence of downstairs was unarmed store and de barracks for ukrainian soldiers. power is rationed, food, water, ammo, and fuel. i carried 4 miles before they get here. nothing is wasted in the early

hours of the morning. we woke up to what fight as here. cool, an approximation of hell. a deafening, to cover the blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours ah, a 3rd whose view of the battle ground or with

the tire area covered in smoke. he's weigh ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currently, russian artillery of all stripes and colors more does houses was air craft tanks ah ah, the she held on ukrainian ru credit troops. the battle for monica has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control ukraine and its supporters. they publicly admit now were never serious about p stokes. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned might incur into

a modern day fortress, almost impregnable, almost. whoa. each would choose russian to $25.00, close support to close ground support their craft. coming in very low, following their own guided munitions rockets and getting out before euclidean and defenses have a child constantly. de la gordon lodge who's day by day, month after month. russian troops have demolished ukrainian fortifications. here, here has said thousands of drafted troops into the meat grinder to hold the mighty inca, but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us as thoroughly,

frankly, this is unpleasant for us destroying these buildings. the city, it hurts our souls. but we have no choice. this is our land. the enemy has thrown his reserves at marin county. they use their troops as cannon fodder. they pluck any holes with corpses of their own soldiers. they spare no lives. no big concern is that we're pushing, but there are difficulties, the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but we're pushing them back and advancing. ah oh, a round might inca artillery is everywhere. lease automatic. my launcher, the machine. york is a feared thing. ah, muddy nga is strategically vital. it is

a gateway to that yet. if you crane loses it, it will be a devastating blow to morale. both civilian and military. kiev understands this, and it is willing to pall thousands of its troops on to the pie, to hold halter mighty anchor, which may well be an approximation of hell. for i'd get the of our tea from madigan as the fighting rages on claims that nato isn't a party to the conflicts are outright lies. that's according to russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. amid the west sending of tanks to kev clock id just renewed it. how can this people seriously see they're not sight of the conflict as they are? i'm going to send troops and chests. and what about sending tanks? i'm just trying to find a new logic and you sense in it. but there isn't any and convenience. we need people for usage of tanks, their maintenance,

given them signals. this is pure hypocrisy, criminal hypocrisy what not just an attempt to avoid uncomfortable questions yet it solitary lice. we hear it says this tare of the conflict. while actions of the west proved the opposite. in fact, nieto and the western general fight against us through keep nationalist regime easter new to me. absolutely. despite a grain to sand tanks, the care of washington has warned, the vehicles won't be deployed any time soon. the abrams require advanced training for the ukrainians to operate them, as well as sophisticated supply chain set up near the front lines. a notorious u. s. government hawk has spilled the beans on kev's upcoming offensive in the spring while admitting that the country won't see any american tanks on the battlefield before then. abrams, as you know, are very sophisticated tanks and they require significant training. so even as we approved them yesterday, it's gonna take some time to get them to the battlefield. so this is not something

that's going to appear in time for the spring offensive. what is the most? which brings it, which underscore is what i said, you know, we been asking for this for 6 months or you started 6 months ago. they'd be all ready for the spring offensive. so what, what, what happened here? who's, who's to blame for this? u. s. defense contractors are now rubbing their hands as they, i even more lucrative arms deals for ukraine. the state department has admitted that the war is good for business as america's weapons makers saw massive booth and profits last year. our teeth, caleb mob and investigates who's lobbying the arms trade and making the big bucks in the u. s. the announcement at western tanks are headed to ukraine. had the defense contractor, lockheed martin all set and ready to roll. lockheed stock is all over the battlefield with their mobile artillery rocket systems. they're javelin missiles and they are patriot air defense systems all making an appearance. lockheed martin

is going to be ramping production on f sixteens in greenville, south carolina to get to the place where we will be able to, to backfill pretty capably any countries that choose to do 3rd party transfers to help with the current conflict. us state department data says that weapons manufacturers made huge profits in 2022. the grain conflict was a huge game changer with a 49 percent boost in profits over 2021 and new contracts are currently in the pipeline now to oversee new arms deals. the house and senate armed services committee has appointed 8 commissioners to review biden's foreign policy. not surprisingly, they came straight from the defense contractors, me, i, in the

in the, the pentagon can't even keep track of all the billions of dollars poured into it consistently failing multiple audits. the white house wants to keep the war and ukraine on a role, and military corporations have no objections. ukrainian embassy has even hosted military corporate patients as guests of honor, known forever that ukraine is the most corrupt country in europe. the entire mainstream media in the west knew that up until february 24th of last year. and then they conveniently forgot that that particular thing when they began praising the plucky democracy in ukraine and how they're fighting for our values. well,

it's certainly widely known to us military contractors, lockheed martin, racy on the other hand, made record profits out of the ukraine. war for the entire system is corrupt. you have a revolving door between government officials and so called private sector defense contracting firms and their executives. you put in your time in government. and then when you're out, you get a very, very well paid jobs in one of these companies. and that's what drives a profit. so these companies are not driven by patriotism or even any concern whatsoever to the really us national interests. they're driven by deep, deep corruption in the u. s. government. and in these companies that are tied to the u. s. government to the detriment of all americans who are forced to pay for them. germany for an office has received backlash from africa unit facial. after criticizing the russian foreign ministers efforts to enhance partnerships during his tour across the continent,

our teas africa corresponded corolla top like gives us the details on reactions to european sentiments in the region. the russian foreign minister love ralph is in africa not to see leopards, but to bluntly claim that ukraine's partners want to destroy everything russian. here's a thread with all of his evidence. hi, german for an office. your boss n, alina bare, bach visited the african union based in one of the more than 20 african countries that germany enjoys reciprocal diplomatic relations with, did she come to see animals or is the continent of africa? it's people and wildlife. just a joke to you here on the continent. it was really encapsulated by ab carlindo who responded to the german foreign office. really, i think too late what most african feel that the germans cannot simply act like they don't have

a legacy of their own leg. they were not part of the great colonial story of how you rolled over to africa and really deprived of development. she was reminding germans that here the b i here on a foreign policy basis and they have a relationship or reciprocal relationship with more than 20 african state. and that wouldn't be here as they also had to look at a free control such as animals. and, you know, not necessarily for africa development for us here on the african continent is really a source of great point that if bill, you know, store to the day and it plays into a big narrative. now it's one of the thing for the german, 4 of us to say that no, that was all setting chest, said the leper in this case represented tanks of ukraine love. there is no war that's been what on the african continent, and for a long time now,

a free kind of felt ended lead as saying that this is not going to be a platform for europe to have if geopolitical war on offer anything for power actually to come here and be a war on the african continent. the will not have with a literal all people metric was being held here. and it goes into the big story and you know, part of the story of that, they say that the german for an office that if they say that this was all just a joke, e book alondo points taken and sorry, we value our african partners, our tweet was in no way intended to mean offense. instead, this means german made leopard tanks. we wanted to call out the lies that russia uses to justify its imperialist war of aggression against ukraine. the fed, but is that they say that they were attempting to clear the air and correct mr. lover of on some of the misinformation here. well, no one on the african continent actually expects an explanation out of russia. the

continent was pretty firm when the war started, that it will not be engaging in any kind of rhetoric between through um, ours, and that they clearly understand the position of germany and what the nato. a grouping had done to push russia to the place that it is today. we believe that europe still views africa within the prism of colonialism within the prism of less then. and they have still to treat as all look at africans as equal people with their own urgency. and this reminds me of the that the, the comments by e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, who really stared up emotions of his own. when he said the following futile is a garden. we had built a garden, as if he works, is the best combination of our political freedom, economic prosperity,

and social cohesion. that the human kind has been able to build this 3 things together. the rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should be gay of it. they were here scouring around, looking for all kinds of alternatives to rush and guess that had been placed under sanctions. they are the ones who consistently come to this continent looking, asking, begging, and instead of looking at us as an equal trading partner, continue to look down. and the west wants to maintain its exploitative policy toward africa. that's according to russia's foreign minister who has land bass, said western countries for plundering africa resources. for centuries. survey live rock made the statement during a media conference with his era, tray and counterpart, while visiting the african country in american,

british and other european delegations regularly come to africa and very stubbornly demand that african countries stopped cooperating with russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda for which the west seas as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form. the establishment of a multi polar world is an objective and unstoppable process. however, under the collective west, the united states of nato and the e u, which are completely under washington's control, are trying to reverse this. but their efforts are futile. the most can count on is some slight inhibition of the object, of course, of history. that is the time, fortunately, the fuel, the fuel, we can cut in can you pang, he monkey in government, cut the show. i mean a school profile and piss of grief and dummy notion that have in gravity,

turmoil a most him and savaging. and finally, for changes that has an forbidden grey ease, and he says, a byproduct of directly policy ok, germany and containment, that they have put, pursued in their past the case during this trip to eritrea survey love rav also visited a monument to legendary russian poet, alexander pushkin rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman underline the positive african attitude to the legacy of the world famous writer. while she also took the chance to criticize ukraine for demolishing some of its historical monuments to russians. ah, we've been following the russian foreign minister on his african tor. here's ortiz donald quarter with more details. richard sergei labrons last stop on his latest

diplomatic tour of africa and today's press conference. we heard be a retiree and foreign minister speak a lot about his country's disdain. for washington's neo colonial policy. he pointed out that nato is at fault for the ukraine conflict for constant attempts to cling on to the unipolar world that emerged after the fall of the soviet union. nurses, foreign minister said he agreed with this view and appreciated the position that a retreat has taken. and the un in regard to that, he also reiterated that moscow is against interfering in the affairs of sovereign nations. in contrast to the west, neo colonial policies. lab, rob said that this is why russia and a rich re i have a good relationship based on mutual respect. now i was able to ask survey live rob about russia's position on the recent tiger, a piece agreement in the region, and why the european union did so little to help bring an end to that conflict with . like right now, it is very difficult to understand the policy of the european union,

especially after they signed a declaration on full cooperation with nato only a few days ago. they really need to decide already what kind of future they're planning for themselves. there's nothing we can do to help of that, and we're not going to interfere lever. i've also mentioned a number of mutual projects that russia and a retreat plan to implement, to develop cooperation in the mining military and agricultural sector. and lastly, russia. foreign minister also said moscow will take steps to protect a retreat from the west, illegal sanctions and further projects that potentially come under their umbrella. and that will no doubt ensure that friendly relations between the 2 countries will continue to grow freedom. the largest caught in corporate history. that's the accusation. against a donnie group, a giant trading corporation owned by the richest man in india and all of asia. a notorious wall street investment firm claims that group is engaged and mult, i $1000000000.00, stock manipulation,

fraud add money laundering allegations. the indian financial giant. how strongly denied as it turns out, the american firm itself short sold some of the dotted stock before making its claims. as our cheese room june sharma explains the wolf heard wealthiest man indian billionaire, golden with danny, found himself falling down the rich list. a danny shares plunged and he slipped to being on the 4th, which is to position all this after an american investment research group revealed that it had shorted a danny company shares and then published a damning report on companies alleged bad business practices. the report by hindenburg research group accused the government on the group of engaging in stock manipulation and accounting fraud schemes, over the course of decades. but donnie is a shells. richest man. he's also the chairperson of the $120000000000.00,

a dining group with interest in boards, airports, power, generation, power transmission, green energy, edible laws, real estate, to name a few. now asked all the us research group. the company has been enrolled in a large stock market scan in india, spanning or what could to years. but short sales are known to thrive on confusion and panic. and in this case, hindenburg goals, the adonis group hom, of around $5500000.00. the day the report was published. meanwhile, the donnie group has dismissed and denied all the allegations. questioning the timing off the report, we are short there. harden bug researchers published a report on january 24 point 3 without making any attempt with water gush or very far the federal metrics. the report is a malicious combination of selected misinformation, state business and discredited allegations that have been destined and rejected by

the us highest courts. now the gulf on the bonnie group has said that it's mulling or taking legal action against the u. s. based firm. but hindenberg says that it stands abides, report, and challenge the danny group to sue them in the us. the hindenburg report did not actually consult with a donnie group. and before that, it's still dated, published a report saying that they're short, i would, they have sold the stock on the body. and it actually white, but close to $6000000000.00 from the indian market. yeah. and that's a pretty big impact on the market. awesome. so that's the biggest thing that's happening in the, in the market right now. but the main issue is that just the use that came out. so even though the reports were not even tested, audi when there's no dude behind the reports, esther, even then the market only had a big dumble and already took a huge hit on the other market. if they have taken a short position, then it will definitely benefit them in iraq. long on until and unless through an

otherwise that danny is involved in this gamma, not it's still a mock and mine, a patient practice from contin both say it be could have at least dr. badani group, you know, vanderbilt to actually get to know what the real situation is. but this was more like a data attack on a donita company than bowers efforts to fight inflation are paying off with gold coins issued by the central bank now being sold for $2000.00 apiece. it's the highest reported price since the coins were introduced last year. to slash the demand for foreign currency. here's what the country central bank had to say about the development. the gold coins combined with the other measures that government is instituted, if significantly contributed to stabilizing inflation, we've seen inflation come down from as high as 30 percent month on month in june 2022 to levels of less than 3 percent in december 2022 so like i said earlier on

the gold coins have also worked as then opened market operations instrument which have actually withdrawn as much as $19000000000.00 zimbabwe dollars from the domestic market. from the sale of 25188 gold coins. as of 19 january 22, so they have contributed significantly to this, the ability to that we're seeing in the economy. the coin was created as an alternative investment to mitigate demand for the u. s. dollar offer in zimbabwe and the opportunity to amass long term savings while promoting financial inclusion . investors are able to buy in for $120.00 a share with a minimum investment period of $180.00 days stipulating a 7 day wait period. prior to withdraw, the demand for the e is dollar was all saudi, just because we know if in our tentative but also more importantly the volatility off this in. but when dollar was also

managed down, because their ordinary folks now have a viable alternative to present value. indeed is more need to rush into corn facing or the currencies in true. he is dollar gold coins. if greatly weeked in terms ofa, improving the economy and the of wicked greatly in making sure that the kept the inflation rate. good queens have been it fall off in the basement. even others for in as low cause they have come to, you know, use good queens as your store value. not only for, for exchange. you see those are the top stories of our and up next ukrainian officials and or western counterparts. a cube is experiencing extreme shortages.

however, there seems to be no shortage of propaganda generated for the west. and corruption and ukraine still runs ram bit more on the discussion coming up on our team process . we'll see about the next hour. ah ah ah ah

ah ah, [000:00:00;00] with hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered i'm peter labelle, ukrainian officials in their western backers endlessly tell us that ukraine is experiencing extreme shortages of just about everything. however,
