i hope you must know that your imagery of the flora meant that extra money for that. oh, the local authorities say russian fruits of encircled the ukrainian health city of archibald, getting that done yet bring up like that comes just a day after rushes, military cut off a major supply route for forces also ahead on the program this our, the i m f predicts that russian economy will grow in 2023 by western countries flaming sanctions imposed on moscow will bring the nations to the study in claims from a top adviser to former british pm parish. johnson who claim to you. k government

is controlled by a deep states of these idiots who are elected. don't decide in the 10 at night here in moscow and this the 1st day of february. i'm, you know, neil, this is the news our on our international we start with the latest updates from don boss, the ukrainian health city of our cham also also known as back moot, is becoming increasingly encircled by russian forces that is, according to local authorities. now that comes russia's defense ministry said on tuesday about the village of blood go duck noise in the done yet, the republic has come under moscow's control. by securing its russian forces will have cut off a main ukrainian or be supply route to the key city of archibald. there's been intense fighting in the,

in recent months with western media reporting that the printing forces have suffered heavy losses. our senior correspondent, murat, gas d of has been following some of the troops on the front lines whose task it is to target combatants from long distances. a pair of combinations plow the ground on route to their positions. the enemy is far away. they are safe until they start firing upon it from a productivity from o'corrley. this is a to s one goes because self propelled howitzer. for a vineyard good for enemy troops, vehicles, fortifications. it's biggest cluster is it's mobility. and it, we can fire and be gone for the enemy reacts more than $10000.00 of these were built these fully amphibious and can sail with very little preparation. that's quick, reliable, and packs a punch. ready daren did target

at the me, infantry on the move. the crews are veterans of the 2nd army. cool. they are lugens glucose when many have fought here the nationalists since the beginning. almost a decade yearly to nip nose though. no, i'm not science and i understand that we have to do this. you have my children, family, and parents. we only have one bath, love football. it is a victory until about the middle of november. the initiative to give was firmly ukraine side, but was able to stop you graves offensive as lodged, several would soon and now artillery is and firing and defense, but rather in off heads, russian forces have broken ukrainian lines around the cities of buck morton. oh,

glad daughter. fighting there, he's ferocious, smaller, limited assault, so under way elsewhere, ukraine's military reserves are stretched thin losses. evidently, our enormous service aged men around the country are being kidnapped and forcefully sent to the front lines. i good. no opposition or resistance is tolerated. any one who speaks out publicly against these is branded a russian agent to collaborator, to the said, crushing hundreds, even thousands of civilians are mobilized every day. i coordinate his work in the streets and even at home. had that a one way ticket to a battle ground from hell more i'd gazda of our tea from la guns.

ah. okay. tell the story to tell you by today key at security services have conducted a wave of raids on a number of ukrainian officials and oligarchy in the country. it follows several others in government resigning last week. large scale embezzlement schemes were apparently uncovered in 2 ukrainian energy companies worth to run $1000000000.00 during another raid on the head of key of tax department, huge sums of cash refund, he was discovered to be part of a number of multi $1000000.00 illegal in richmond ventures, several ukrainian defense ministry officials were also found to be involved in cases worth millions in ukrainian currency. but the u. s. treasury department has said there are no evidence signs that funds from washington have been misused in ukraine. we have no indication that us funds have been misused in ukraine. we welcome the ongoing efforts by the ukranian authorities to work with us to ensure

appropriate, safe guards are in place so that us assistance reaches those for whom it is intended. while a reminder of a report from last year, n b c news discovered around only 30 percent of the weapons sent by the west to key of actually makes it to the front lines with no real information where the rest is going. the investigation suggested that getting the arms to the troops involved navigating a network of, quote, power lords, ali garlock's and political players. europe will also say some of those weapons have ended up in the hands of organized crime groups in the e. u. with journalists, the finder of don bos inside are chris del neal believes the raids in ukraine are an attempt by key of to, to show, to its international backers. it's capable of tackling the high levels of corruption there. i think there's a lot of pressure from the width on willoughby method in he to clean at least

a little beat. the people who are around him. i mean, it's a radio long time that you know that the feel around he's corrupted key himself. he's corrupt c, e was mentioned independent of papers and they are a lot of information indicating that you felt between reach during the all the special operation. so i think joe biden has to give some illusion that doing something about this problem. because of course, when you get the inflammation that only 50 percent of the weapons reached from ordinary people can get us. but so it means 70 percent of my taxes are going to the rubbish being to enrich some people in ukraine and it's a big scandal. so i think it's so way for joe biden to think we shall, it will be this problem by giving some warranties about that. now there's been

a shift in opinion among polish people over the conflict in ukraine. that's according to a new opinion pulled by the war, saw enterprise institute think tank, which concluded citizens are now seeing more all rushes point of view. the pool quiz people on 8 issues raised by moscow about the reasons for the military offensive. last year, a 3rd or so of respondents agreed with at least 4 of the points. now that number has risen to 41 percent. it was fun that younger people age between $25.34 were also, and most likely to agree with the statements of differing attitudes towards the complex. i've also been noted by some western media outlets. there is no evidence that the people and governments of the global south who are suffering most from the economic consequences of the war are turning decisively against prudent in india, supposedly allied to the west. a recent poll found that more respondents blamed

either nato or the u. s, than russia for the war in ukraine. the senior research fellow of the global policy institute george zamarelli believes western leaders aren't winning everyone run to their anti russian orator. the problem is that the european leads has been getting themselves more and more entangled in ukraine and failing completely, failing to shift public opinion to persuade the public that there are some michael european national interests involved in ukraine. and particularly that the, the sacrifices that, that demanding from the public is somehow an important, vital strategic objective polls. and particularly young polls, according to this pole, are also very skeptical about further involvement in ukraine. i think it's very interesting and, and it's a striking commentary of the,

on the failure of europe's political lead to persuade public opinion. now, despite a bombardment of western sanctions, russia's economy is actually predicted to grow this year. the i m f say it will increase by point 3 percent in 2023. at the same time, the un financial agency delivered a blow to britain's economic hopes with forecast of its gdp contracting by point 6 percent. while the dive deeper in to all the less welcome into the studio or the contributor chris ems. pretty eye opening stuff that report isn't it? was the rest of the economy not supposed to be in the mud here by now? well, that's what we were told, right? i mean we've had that dealing, glean prophecy coming out of every single western news channel and the head of state for, for the past year. but clearly not true. i mean, here i've got the statistics union. i mean,

the more interesting thing is they're saying that the russian economy, you know, it's going to, it's going to grow this year by not point 3 percent. the probably the most interesting thing is their projection. so 2024 is that the united states economy will grow by 1.4 percent. but the russian economy moved by 2 point one percent, which is really near the figure of china, right. and we're taking a country that in spite of sanctions, right, we're taking a country that really, you know, transition to capital is the money in the ninety's. and, you know, didn't have a good time with it. as be honest. that as now, you know, sort of is able to sort of be a powerhouse of economic growth. a post you mentioned the u. k which you know where, where it's absolutely failings. but it's very interesting just to see these figures yet what's behind the resilience here because as you say, for some time leaders, officials have said that russia is. busy gone, rushes, not going to survive this bombardment of sanctions. but it is yes, i think it,

and it's really the, the us in particular. but the west is we refer them a lot of the time that everyone with food in line. the fact is that rushes allies that take the prime example turkey, also a nice so member, refused to sanction russia. you know, you and i live here. so we can say most of the time when we're going shopping now we okay. we don't have h and m, but we've got pretty much every single turkey spread the night out. the quality is probably better. and, you know, i'm on a big soft drink fund, as you can tell from this ever growing belly of mine. and you know, there's no problem with me getting coca cola, just like coca cola now isn't produced in russia, but it's in turkey. it produced in iran. it's produced in beckett's done. so they've problems on that. you know, we, what we've seen is just all of this western rhetoric as you've said, and we've actually got a really good clip that we can look at out just to show us what they said a year ago. the sanctions measures we impose today, i think without question were the most consequential ever levied on russia. and, arguably, the most consequential ever levied in history. russia's industry is in tatters.

and it is the kremlin that has put russia economy on the path of oblivion. in concert with our allies, we would agree a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to hold the russian economy. yes, sir. as we can see from you, we've got the m, we've got got lovely bars, johnson, he has had a saying that name is street of the him in kiev. right. but the reality is, he told every single member of every single british taxpayer, british voter. it was supposed to vote for him that he was, you know, when they needed to give all this money to ukraine without it. and with that money, it was going to cross the russian economy. well, that's up to the proven, untrue, even to the point you know, the new york times, which is hardly a friend of russia's. if you read any of that, you know, off that goes which we do all the time. that, you know, had to admit this week that they believe that rushes exports and imports will be on

part of how they were pre the special military operation. so really, i mean, i just say the whole thing is ethically failed has interesting when you look into the numbers, ignoring the rhetoric, the numbers tell the truth and the numbers don't lie. numbers lie are to kind of peter chris them. time is perfectly reasonably size, stomach there. thank you very much trade and wrapping up his trip to the west bank. the us secretary of state has reaffirm washington's commitment to a 2 state solution to the palestine is really conflict while speaking in jerusalem . anthony blink and also emphasize washington's iron clods support for israel security. those remark sparked anger on claims of america's pro is really bias. now a statement by the palestinian president also claim, quote, atrocities carried out by the israeli army are being overlooked. yes, the, this gum swell is really is being overlooked and without being held accountable for

its unilateral actions, including settlements, actual annexation, some lance generous settlers storming palistine territories, murdering by displacement and demolishing to houses. bostonians. daisy jerusalem. desecration of oxen mosque season fall long with ethnic cleansing and apart so well on tuesday, protests broke out on the streets of the west bank and gaza. over mister blinkin meeting with top is really on palestinian official. some of the locals accused the u. s. of on justifiably their words, siding with israel on earlier when pressed by a reporter, a u. s. state department spokesperson refuse to acknowledge the west bank as a palestinian territory occupied by is really force what kind of ignition you give the past is to the whisp that they reside in those territories and

totally independent as if it were a different planet occupied. you do subscribe to the fact that they are and then military occupation say technical question and occupation. so let me say a couple of things in the point i believe i think id not occupy. what is the status that you give the pipe at this moment? what kind of status did they said the recent period? my seen a strong recent doing, i am saying about legally, are you in the past and what invest? yes. so i understand the question you're asking, and as we've said previously, it is vital for both sides to take action to prevent even greater loss and we condemn any violence escalation or provocation. while the reporter involved in exchange was side already count from the l could newspaper we spoke to him as well

. he believes washington makes the 2 state solution in the middle east. impossible by sending arms to israel. then i states is complicit and the reality of the path to end on the ground. there is no 2 ways about it. then i said said provides israel with the arms in which it wages its aggression against the palestinian day in and day out. and i say provided with, with fun that i'd states provide you with a diplomatic cover a day in our nation, for instance, a security council making it impossible to have held accountable to any of its abuses, the human rights and so on. so it is more than just that it is the responsible party for what is going on as far as the passengers be denied their human rights, their national rights and their own land to state solution is not possible, not while the res continue to steal the land that was designated where the

area for the past to new director states. there are more settlers or 700000 stuff. those are not likely to be disliked from where they are, where they are. and they nice, it's recognize jerusalem as capital calling east jerusalem without recognizing a 0 sum as capital for the past day. the us really paid lip service to the 2 state solution and his slogan, in the meantime, we see that all hope or to state solution at all, but they've operated. it's not even ready not a huge 8000000000 dollar deal sign just this weekend between libby is oil corporation. italy's largest energy company could be in jeopardy. it's after libby as oil minister rejected the move, claiming it wasn't agreed with his ministry and changed the previous deal, signed in 2008. if the talks was e and i were mistaken,

the 1st place they were conducted by forming committees, i was the head of the main one. and there were 3 other subcommittees, technical, financial, and legal. the, from a legal point of view. everything that has happened is a blatant violation of libya's rights in a squandering of libya state wealth. there were certain results of those very difficult negotiation, but eventually oil and gas prices have increased significantly less compared to the level they were in 2008 when negotiations were held sacred. well on saturday, italy's, any which shes been involved in libby as oil production since 1959 on the libyan national oil corporation agreed the new deal. it aim to increase offshore gas production, supplying both the home market on exports to europe. the extraction of gas was supposed to start in 2026. i was supposed to reach 21000000 cubic meters per day, with both parties equally investing in the project. italy said the initiative had

been put forward with the best of intentions to see it lately. daniel dots went italy and wants to play an important role. and also, you know, to, to help african countries to grow and become re chat. she thought by they scott, the nation. we don't want to be predatory. i think you got to leave something because you didn't share the entity. however, critics of call died the west role in the country which led to the civil war in 2011 that dragged on for almost a decade. the killing of the country's leader moore. m r. a get duffy who had ruled for 42 years. so a collapse of power on the formation of 2 separate rival governments. in 2021. the country failed to hold schedule presidential unparliamentary elections, which are now said to be held under un control in the near future. wherever several armed groups have said they may not recognize the result. what from

moral support live to the director of a center for studies armed trumps lation arc med mustafah pleasure to talk to you today. at 1st glance, sir, the deal reached might seem beneficial for libby as it was supposed to pump optimistic protection. so why is the oil ministry rejecting it? according to emily of you, off this story, i totally agree with the minister because if he told you and he already answered, because the weights all and the prices of oil and gas for a new 2008 completely different than now. because now there is some sort of 1st surge in there, the oil in the prices off, oil and gas. i cannot treat her with the same air condition that falls affiliated in 2008 and just implicated in this time being it's, it's, it's, it's a big mess and we'll make a big loss for the company as he said, and elijah,

the full and as you know, and the government would be, but especially the, the, the government of the west is totally agree, especially with the you, with united states and we, stocky. and they want to forget the benefit of such a apartment between the 2 sides. but unfortunately, we agreed the wealth offer the people and sustainable development of leave your own or the future of despite any alleging get back to the italian, a giant company, alleging that they already invested about 8 people. but however, the will i get things times 0100 times off of that because according to an interview we've made there via my project, i'm the i the audience operation. reason i'm gay with the extra minister of our i, our ex may and minister of i lou, engineer of the local that he said that the mediterranean sea now is one of the

main point and including a lot of off shore at wells, off, especially off natural gas and the for why the west, according to that are pending crisis. and i put in trying to just close the tab of gas. i get is the west of the full, the trying to find another l t o o, another place to supply these markets and they be emerging. and the developed countries in the western europe. russia turned off the top of the they're willing to, willing for europe to, to buy them. but europe just is refusing to do that. of course, last week the italian government reached an energy deal with the state algerian company to your point that they're going around the region. how does this suddenly focus on africa by at lee? where is it come from? what's the motive?

the motive because they found that to asha of goals and china, they have now a good direction. and of course china proceeded lashawn not on the washer and also backs down india you are already exists. and all of those countries that they mentioned, the reforming the new world order and the. a where late in that respect and of course china, for example, it has like a promising investment will beach one trillion by 2013 the fall. you will find that to some summit to was taking place in washington concerning america and africa. and also the, you will be in countries because you won't be in countries and america, the have a very bad history of colonization. and of i close city to what's epic. this is why the twining back now coming was another face and trying to change their dirty, idly face. we are now investors, and we are not just giving age, but we're trying to do something similar to china like when,

when agreements or things like that. and frank to change the face again to what's i think i, because africa is like the world query off. well, no, not only for i guess my social favorite full, the other things, if you will think off for the as any conductors and things like that. i think it is for a gold pull up a diamond will off. 2 you know, lithium that's used in the semiconductors and did the batteries offer them a while and the laptops and that's now a big part of the high tech technology area. raise a showing can, can i want to just fit in one more aspect because i want you to touch on it if you will. that talks on the energy deal at spoke about migration issues as well. what links the gas partnership to the return of libyans to their homeland. we have around a minute, but if you want to talk enough, ah, it's kind of fake because i think her libya during the time of god bless him,

alida kentucky, it was one of the richest country worldwide. and the have like a big at repo deals, especially with the west. so whether you have of all that had to states and they already made disease even popular with them. but unfortunately, the west itself, they already killed mama because effie via the natal and it was a very dirty act. i get a sleep. yeah. oh libyan the, the, the they are reach now the of wallet light because the i was like because of the mid to itself because of the submission. and as you mentioned in your report to the actual bible's government until vital to james. the only thing that can make the libyans return back to home is having only one president and when a boot or government not to government at this edition is the main reason, not the wealth of libya or the bonnie of figure, the men b visa off the migrants to come back to libya again because elizabeth was

a very rich country and that of the i just to swimming on fools of oil and gas. okay. unfortunately, this is the dirty west that they don't want any stability. and just wanna moderate our well says by their own self with this regarding our own interest is as the are always an engaging shot. plenty of food for thought when the director of the asian center for studies on translation, oc med mustafah from egypt comes on. thank you very much on it. thank you. thanks. hello. oh, okay, i just want to finish up with some startling words from the former chief adviser to boris johnson, dominic cummings, who claim that the u. k. government is heavily influenced by a solem deep state in which accountability to voters, those who put them in power is far from a primary consideration. there are kind of deeply entrenched institutions which actually practically control huge amounts of watkins with 0 to

very little democratic insight or even a knowledge and understanding the deep state israel. the deep state actually controls vast majority of government, and most of the elected people have no understanding or involvement and what's going on. that's just a fact because a lot of what's happening right, that is really get screw, shoot, shoot the confusing or difficult. often what's happening is very good, sensible intelligent officials with genuine public service. you actually understand what the hell's going on fall better than the idiots who are elected archie trying to stop. did you chew or be elected, doing terrible things and oxford university graduate, who's been working in back rooms as a strategist for the past couple of decades. serving more recently a strategist for the pro brags campaign, and then as chief strategist for former british prime minister morris johnson. what cummings is clearly suggesting is that democratic elections are just window dressing. it's all just a big charade. the former top 8 explains how these deep state actors hid behind

anonymity and made decisions on things like coven related locked downs, travel restrictions, and anti cove. a job mandates. clearly they weren't worried about having to answer to the public coming, talks about the systemic, undermining of democracy with all the no sales of ordering up a pizza. and around the same time that cummings was musing about the deep state, a whistleblower came forward in the british press to disclose that the british army spied on coven lockdown critics, including high profile journalists, work i'm is doing should never have happened. this domestic monitoring of citizens seem not to be driven by desire to address the public's concerns, but to identify leavers for compliance with controversial government policies. fact that this political monitoring happened under the guise of contrary misinformation highlights how without serious safeguards, the concept wrong information is open to abuse and has become

a blank check. the government used us in an attempt to control narratives on line. contrary to their stated aims, these government truth units are secretive and harmful to our democracy. so is this what cummings was talking about, sending the military to spy on those who opposed the narrative and rules crafted by the faceless, deep state actors he spoke of. who then use that information to craft responses that the 1st battalion of idiots and moron as otherwise known as elected officials, can go back out to the front lines and defend in part by branding anything else that contravenes or contradicts the official narrative, dis, information. how exactly do they manage to square all that with the image of britain as a free democratic and transparent system to which other countries should aspire? sometimes under the threat of sanctions? sounds like perhaps the u. k. should 1st try.
