ah, a i'm in my chair. water doesn't want that extra mom, but i know it's up under that y'all. a from being able to oppose it malignant influence in the middle east. fueling the ukraine crisis to run, find itself today, playing for stirring up trouble across the world, at least according to the u. s. secretary of state, who's in israel for talk with the countries brian middle school. well, that comes in the wake about drone attack on military facilities in around to run the house reportedly. so monday you premium diploma for questioning. after a top key of official said, an attack on the western asian country would be expected and made claims in supporting russia's military. also, following for the countryside,

expected not to interfere in the bilateral relations between pakistan and russia. bucket found foreign minister, it stays cooperation between islam upon on moscow will include new plums for an oil pipeline of the country, faces fear, energy shortages on the home. pro lithium, the german chancellor tours south america, an attempt to secure a supply of the strategically important material. but china appears to be a head of berlin in with one minute past tenant nights here in moscow this monday, january, the 30th i'm, you know, neil and this is our teacher, national runs find itself as something of a punch bag because the u. s. secretary of state, touched on in israel today. anthony blinking has been holding talks with prime minister benjamin netanyahu,

and both were quick to assign blame to tehran for all sorts of alleged reasons. it's a time where many and international community i would say, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. we've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports aggression beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. we discussed deepening co operation to confront and counter a rance destabilizing activities in the region and beyond. just as around as long supported terrorists that attack israelis and others. other teams now providing drones that russia is using to kill innocent ukrainian civilians. pamper, says i certainly rising as we hear these statements from these railey prime minister in the u. s. secretary of state. just days after an iranian military facility was attacked by drones to her and did not blame anybody officially,

but they were careful reports and both american and israeli media that israel with the u. s. support may have been behind the so tag mcfall coming here to israel blink and sat and an interview that all options are on the table regarding the ran in frederick's including the military. so very, very bowling moment. but i have to say that the ra intentions even close to blinking, came to israel as a time major escalation, and a dramatic tweet in these rally palestinian conflict that he himself called as circle of violence. america's top diplomats said that washington is committed to the idea of 2 state solution and that anything that contradicts this idea could be harmful to ease railey security in a long term and could damage israel's identity as a democratic jewish state. he also said that both sides should be working together, hard work to try to deescalate the situation and to ease the tensions. but

unfortunately, so far we have only been witnessing the opposite last thursday was the deadline day for palestinians in 2023. as 9 people were killed in the idea of military arrayed of the camp of jeannine in the northern part of the occupied was bank, including police, one civilian. it was followed by a deadly terror attack in east in jerusalem, but took the lives of 7 jews, a group of washer for as was attacked by a gunman at the time when they were coming back from a suburb prayer that we heard a number of statements from both the palestinian authority and israel with ramallah announcing that they now cut security cooperation. we jerusalem and israel expressing its firm determination to counter terrorist and to jerusalem. lincoln is expected to be in both the west bank and gaza, where palestinian protests have already been announced against washington w. send a policy. so the world is now was closely whether this visit will be able to is the

tensions on the ground or rather make it worse. as maria mentioned, there are rom has reportedly some and a senior ukrainian diplomats. it follows controversial comments by an advisor to ukraine's president after a drone attack on a military facility in central iran, in a post on twitter. the key of official said it was no surprise ron was attacked because he claims the country militarily supports russia in the same complex, the ukrainian foreign ministry liter, double dine on the stones. my colleagues reshay an eager ship and discuss the following commentary. more than once, he craned, warned a rum, the consequences. if supporting aggression against crane will be far larger than the benefits from cooperation with russia. we don't know reason for the explosions at the reigning facilities, but as persian folk wisdom says, don't hum others and you won't harm yourself. we're logic is inexorable and

murderous. it builds the authors and accomplices, strictly explosive nights in a rum drawn and missile production. oil refineries. ukraine did warn you. the stories kind of weird and the details aren't really just in there yet. so we have to, we have to tread carefully here this what i mean to say, unlike what the ukranian advisor to the president to zalinski did when he went on twitter and just rambled on twitter and openly gloated about this attack against iran. and so really, that's no surprise that right now, apparently the deputy ambassador is being summoned into iran for questioning because look at it from the following perspective. like iran is not attributing any blame like iran is not blaming anyone for this just yet. nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack too, but really hardly a surprise that right now to iran is apparently summoning the deputy ambassador to do some explaining because they're saying, well, look, maybe they go like, well, do you know something that we don't know who is behind it,

why did you say that it was a long time coming or stuff like that? so in terms of detail, again, they're very various costs. we do know we've seen pictures of a military compound in the town of it for hon. it's a town to the south of the capital to iran, and it is also this is where the site producing iranian unmanned drones is and military drone as. and they have been kind of boosting the production as of late. and we've seen some photographs with some very minor damage done to that particular compound and the radians saying that a bunch of drones were shut down by the air defenses. and just one just happened to crash on top of that compound. and again, a lot of a lot of that has been coming out on the story and has been, well, just fools. it was fake news. and so we have to really tread carefully. but anyway, we do know that iran has, of course, condemned the aggression and has said that well this these attacks,

they will not stop iran and prevent iran from following its own diplomatic route. hello. hello, sorry, care that my hike was asked following efforts by the enemies of iran's nation aiming to make you run insecure in recent months. this cowardly action has been taken to day. our country security will act with maximum potency to provide national security in the country. and such actions must not affect the will and intention of our experts in order to progress in the field of peaceful nuclear plants and see iran got on the wrong side of the west in so many in so many areas and aspects as of late like it has been expanding its nuclear program. it has been accused of supplying military drones to russia to aid russia, in its effort, in its military effort in ukraine. so really, there has been plenty of speculation as to who's behind these attacks. maybe it's his realm. you know, the usual suspects there when it comes to that part of the world. and to ron, maybe the united states, both nations have explicitly denied their involvement. heavily pentagon

spokesperson brigadier general, patrick rider said, no u. s. military forces were involved in strikes in iran. but declined to comment further. so eager as he was saying that the facility was only slightly damaged to look pretty minor. frankly, the israel media has called a whole story, essentially a lie. and when you talk about potential culprits behind this, so this drone attack in iran, ok, as you say, it could be some sort of clandestine israeli thing. could be the codes as well. it could be any kind of us sympathizing group in that part of the world, frankly. and the fact that iran hasn't singled anyone out and yet is only right now, reportedly summoning the ukrainian ambassador in the country that i mean there are angles here. we just are not getting a clear pitcher on, but what do you think is actually happening? well, it is difficult to make a judgment on that without being on the ground and watch and seeing it with your own eyes. but definitely it looks like the information attack against iran, it has been more of a, it has had a larger scale than what has been happening actually in terms of physical violence

and physical damage. like initially when the 1st attacks happened, the reports that poured out of the region had been all over the place. some sources suggested that israel had begun a ground operation of all things in iran, just stopping just short of will, you know, mewling whether or not that was the start of the 3rd world war. and so that had been all sorts of claims that there were multiple missile attacks against multiple military compounds and to iran, in iran, again still oil refineries and oil facilities. and all of that were under some oil facilities. they were caught on fire, they were all the videos of them being a blaze. but again, iran has blamed the aftershocks of an earthquake for that. so again, it looks like the information campaign against iran and against iran has be in full swing right now. and by keeping silent by not jumping to conclusions and to just, you know,

dishing out accusations by refraining from that. it seems to iran is trying to douse this whole hysteria and so that everybody has time to come to senses and then figure out what to do and what sort of retaliation and more importantly, who will have to back while their ties have been in deadlock for years, but our rum on saudi arabia are plenty of fresh start. now it's according to our right for administer. who said his counterparts from teared on unreality, we'll join him in by god for talk. so let's go through this because the mood follows the spade of recent bi lateral initiatives between the countries in that putting relations back on an even cable runs foreign minister, previously expressed hope that both countries embassies could re open his saudi counterpart. also recently outlined at the w economic for the intentions, the quote find a path to dialogue with around when the nation severed the relations back in 2016, following a tax on saudi diplomatic missions,

inner rum. while all that comes us to run has been stepping off dialogue with other partners across the middle east, around foreign minister, earlier underscored his nation's intent to continue reproach small efforts with rain while i run and q a return there. and busters to each country's capital. iranian political communication specialist, food is on the lease runs efforts to open up dialogue and the region will benefit peace efforts to be a neighbor will be neighbors. for many, many centuries has been enabled for many centuries. there is no need for confrontation between 8 and in the last number of the case you don't have to make sure. ready that the relations of a known what the problem we have is that the saudis, and there's you, especially in the united states,

decides to increase patient need on one basis they utilize. so if you don and we can have normal relations, then yes, in the region, you have less confrontation between the 2 sides. so piece it's in. you don't have a regional implications. as for the buttons now, it's been a deadly day in pakistan. sadly 61 people have been killed and scores more wounded in an explosion or the mosque in the north west of the country. early reports set a suicide bomber had targeted people during afternoon prayers in peshawar. the pakistani taliban grid later claimed responsibility for theater. the mosque is that you waited inside a police compound and is mostly attended by law enforcement official,

local reporter, no doubt. war since this from rogers. you select the name of your home for salad. i'm standing in front of the main gate of the head office of the provincial police in betcha wanted the my goal today is suicide bomber at sack worshippers during afternoon prayers. inside the masa health authorities see they have declared a red alert and an emergency and have asked people to done they'd blood. all the local emergency services rushed to the area to rescue the people. after the explosion, the front part of the morsel is collapsed and some got stuck under the debris. heavy machinery has arrived to clear the area. officials here see the media is not allowed inside until the error is cleared and the rescue operation is over and they will provide the final figure of casualties and more details later. on. russia's foreign minister, sir gala roll, expressed his condolences on that deadly attack to his pakistani counterpart during a meeting in moscow this monday,

by law shrill trade was the focus of the face to face with pakistan's top diplomat, stating he expects other countries not to interfere in trade between islam about and russian. and this is what bella bhutto is our dari, had to say in response to a media question on potential us encroachment in that regard. lead, we've had and continued to have detail conversations on energy cooperation, between buxton and russia. as you may be aware, pakistan faces severe and the energy of a crises and problems. and as far for them are the countries swipe, expect them not to interfere in the bilateral relations between the pakistan and russia. we absolutely will do whatever is necessary to provide our people with the necessities that they to, they require, or both parties reiterated their commitment towards developing and enhancing relations between the 2 countries. especially now,

as russia is seeking alternative markets as we know, and also pakistan as we heard from the foreign minister. the country of right now is facing severe energy crisis and also severe economic challenges to which is something else he touched upon. so this is of course, perfect timing for both countries to help each other out. and this is something that started 75 years ago. this may, oh, pakistan and russell will celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. and let's not forget that in 2015 park, it's on m. russia agreed to build a multi $1000000000.00 gas pipeline. tax food to run through pakistan, transports in russia, liquefied natural gas from karate to lavoy was supposed to start in 2020. but it was put on hold because a western sanctions and this is the status of the project right now. what was the 4 digits was of, but i do not. the issue is that as an advanced stage of development, and i'm sure that further progress will be done on the near future. in this regard, i would like to dwell on what was said to my pakistani colleague regarding the u. s

. guarantee that they will not interfere with our energy deals. of course, they will interfere sir. the united states, literally, publicly, without embarrassment, must be quite arrogantly declares to everyone that it is impossible to make deals with russia yorkers, but to prevail. a majority of country schools, including our colleagues and kansas, are guided by their legitimate national interests. both parties express a desire to continue dollars for the same high corporation organization, which survey live rover. reminded us once again that it is more of a reflection of the world right now. the reality because it's a multi polar platform, a park, a sons. foreign minister also said that develop relations are currently suffering through the negative consequences. all the crisis in ukraine. lots of the threats of western sanctions will not intimidate them and will not stop them from continuing to do business with russia. the i g seat covered a wide agenda, encompassing a car, economic trade, and especially energy cooperation,

pakistan views. russia is an important player in the west, south and central asia. pakistan and russia have good cooperation on over on his thought. we aimed to continue cooperation with our russian friends and realizing our common goals of peace and stability in a varnish stop. we also just discussed bilateral cooperation at multi lateral, for especially within the united nations and the shanghai cooperation. so mainly right now we're really waiting to see one pack swing. we'll get going. and also when the 2 countries will switch to national currency, something else that we heard about. so national currencies, when it comes to doing business, some interest and development, germany is interested in lithium production. that's the message from the countries chancellor on his tour of south american countries that are rich with the

strategically important material. but will berlin have to join the back of the que german companies are very interested in expanding corporation, especially in the field of lithium. and we want to support chile on that path to sustainable mining. schultz follows natural resources around the world like a group. he follows a rock band last year. he was obsessed with scoring gas, which wasn't a very good look for a guy who keeps openly found, deciding about ditching fossil fuels. so now he's in south america begging for lithium, which is needed to power his dream dreams as a key component of electric car batteries. for example, schultz is hitting up. she lay the world's 2nd largest supplier and argentina, which isn't too far behind the ra states that think that all ro, materials come from china. but this is not true. men, the raw materials in fact come, for example, from argentina or chilly, get shipped to china, upper says there and sold again. the question is, can one not move the procession of these materials, which creates thousands of jobs to those countries where these materials come from?

yeah, guys don't send it to china, process it generate on the pollution right here and then ship it straight over to me. come on, do you want jobs or not? jessie figured that talking about quote, sustainable mining of lithium means that people won't notice, the extracting lithium from the ground isn't actually sustainable. when it comes to you, the water that depletes leaving the soil destroyed, or that each ton of mind, lithium produces a 15 ton carbon footprint that's occurring to mit researchers. so, why don't countries like germany use erupts, lithium? yeah, i like the fact that it's nasty to get out of the ground. well, it simply doesn't have enough to meet its needs as it pushes electric cars as the way of the future headlines all over the western processor and shelters. visit to south america have focused on germany's lithium shortage and how the lack of supply negatively impacts berlin's ability to compete with china's electric vehicle industry. european greens don't want mining in their own backyard, even if it's for green cars. yes, it's ok to mine it in latin america though,

because there is going to be obviously green and sustainable. schultz says, unlike in europe, really, this is all about the use economic engine, germany scrambling to secure supply of critical resources that they've been getting from china. washington hasn't been shy about the fact that it wants its allies to cut trade ties with china, but that's a tall order for germany. and for europe, given that china produce is more than 70 percent of the world's batteries and refined 80 percent of all critical minerals and south america. trade ties with china are just expanding, like with a new deal inc with bolivia. and that includes help to develop its lithium reserves, which are the largest in the entire world. so that means that germany could actually end up having to deal with china any way to get any lithium in that place or in elsewhere in south america. that would be an awkward conversation. may i speak to niger in china? comes up. that would be a little weird. but european commission president,

queen ursula vander line, is kind of acting like a character of a j. r. r. tolkien novel in the sense that she wants the precious to di china, controls the global process in industry. almost 90 percent of rare earth and 60 percent a fleet. him, a processed in china will, will identify strategic projects all along the supply chain, from extraction to refining from pro, sensory cycling, oval build ups. her teacher cruisers to worry supply is at risk. so i guess it's bad when china makes resource deals, but good when europe does, because europe would never, ever consider its mercantilist approach. a kind of neo colonialism, even though it's foreign affairs chief, joseph burrell, literally compared europe to a garden and the rest of the world to a jungle during his speech last year. speaking of which beryl has also recently got off in blatant search of natural resources to africa,

saying that he needs them for europe screen agenda. but the big question is whether these countries to which european leaders are going cap in hand, are willing to play on the west terms. when it seems to be pretty clear that they hold a good hand of cards. the french president, emanuel micron has lost his credibility. that's the domain claim of the turkish leader rigid, ty berto on whose last start off his counterpart, claiming paris only has itself to blame for its fading influence in africa. actually the head of france, believe me, does not have the weight to be the head of that state. look, they're exploiting african countries. right now molly is in a complete break with france right now. became a facet, gave it one month. now, macro has lost his credibility in the parliament, he's not honest, france is constantly losing credibility, his losing credibility in the international community as well. while the pert or

guns words into context, fee from sentiment is currently on the rise in parts of the african continent, including quino 1st. so molly and the central african republic, thousands of people recently rallied in their per keena capital y good to good calling for the expulsion of french troops from the country within them. horace has already withdrawn the remainder of its forces from molly on this t. e. a r t r. see news channels, world editor a large use of our him believes president or the one know see friends of a source of instability in africa. they definitely are losing credibility on the international stage and they're losing ground as well. i mean, we're entered an era, right, the new powers. now we're seeing very competition with new countries. like trying to, yeah. russia entering the african market with much more to offer than the french much more metric relation. much more way to approach and the french in the past when we

look at the french history and the recent action side, france has been monopolizing race has been exploiting africa for a very, very long time. use the french as a source of instability inside africa. when we look at the civil war, when it say that france was one of the major actor, the major decision makers basically bringing about the libyan civil war and the follow mark. okay, i will tell you, but some direct words from beijing earlier. china is foreign ministry phase the u. s. initiated the conflict in ukraine on must stop sending weapons to keep united states is the initiator and the biggest promoter of the ukrainian crisis. it continues to send heavy sold weapons to ukraine, constantly increasing the lengthened intensity of the conflict. instead of

reflecting on what they have done, the u. s. is enhancing unfounded suspicions and accusations against china. at the same media conference that is from the statement, the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson field the question on suppose the u. s. evidence that a chinese was providing military supplies to russia, the beijing official denied stout claim, asian, the 1st specialist can do. sure. said washington's accusations are basically, i think, one east, another attempt to pressure on the chinese companies will missy jones. basically we go into the us that they only reported by the us media. so there the why, the us, the targeting and private challenge for which has been that while the most will start up companies is that like through these, that reminds me of the have to always remember what have to always us a fact that while we global weight even though they're not be long at then,

and we only quiet called and called is the, the happy into successful well hours the finishing, the lively. you can look at the most of them, not all of them. they all work in the 1st place because the group term you call actually on the klerge good quality and phone calls from your a few copies against the other companies. who are these the, at the professional calendar? country for all countries will refuse to listen to the order from washington process that basically that's the case. i will tell you this as well. western mia plates are reporting a top nuclear weapons research institute in china has been purchasing high tech american microchips. that's the spice. hello. official bond on us semi conductor

exports to shine. impose back in 997. the institute reportedly obtained the tech through resellers in china can do hsu again, say, sanctions will not stop china's evolution on the group. it's probably washington. no big deal is, is it cheap? the both you the book computers, as like in the benefit of drew's old, a china right from find that is ridiculous. if you listen to politicians, washington paid the single focus, the china trying to find out everything about finer is still the best with the right of trying to do it. everything will bit gain to demonize, trying to stop or why the china to attack china to continue china. but it's funny to launch august april washington to camps hands and it to august they were

the authors and 1400000000 people and the ways the fact being the presentation in the world creating the tree of good luck is between talking to 10120 automates around the world. all kind of washington contain china. just before we go all fit in this story, the president of croatia has slammed the e u plan or lack there of us. he puts it to end the conflict in ukraine on milosevic stresses the current course of continual arms deliveries only ensures that more people will die. natural, awesome, i am again sending any lethal weapons to ukraine. it prolongs the war. people are dying and there is no plan. what is the plan? the disintegration of russia government change? i see in the u parliament that some polish and lithuanian representatives had told him about tearing rusher apart. it's frantic. it's manic,

depressive behavior. the remarks come of a conservative grouping, as said to host an anti russia conference in the european parliament. topics out for debates include russia's suppose at imperial ideology, the impact of the conflicts on russian regions on the prospects for the d, imperialist zation on de colonization of the country. one of those behind the event is a polish m e p, who recently wrote an article calling for russia, which she bruns as the last colonial empire to be carved on the international community cannot take a comfortable position on the sidelines waiting for developments, but must undertake a brave initiative that supports re federal, i, sation of the russian state, taking into account the history of russian imperialism and the respect for the rights and desires of its nations. this terrorist organization, even if it is seen by many as an empire, should be de.
