long sought control over the narrative and ukraine from its elections to its foreign and domestic policy. a recently resurfaced liter recording shows then vice president joe biden pressuring a former ukrainian president to nationalize a bank, hinting that there could be financial consequences if his advice wasn't followed. ortiz kellum up and has the story. investigative journalist who goes by clan das di has shaken up social media once again. this time reminding people about the leaked phone call that took place between them, vice president joe biden with them president of ukraine. poor shank, back in 2016, the american vp was on the phone with for a shank discussing aspects of ukraine financial system. biden had some very specific demands regarding certain banks. i'm

in or where do you think about any right or wrong or i or i last that's apparently sounds a bit like a threat this the way you would expect the sovereign leaders of 2 independent countries to speak with one another. why is it that joe biden would speak this way to a foreign head of state? and what is biden getting at when he says sophisticated enough to know the details?

so many questions. and so few answers anyway for a shank reply that he was simply waiting for the auditors report from ernst and young to come out. and once that happened, he would assemble the head of the national bank of ukraine, government officials, and the minister of finance. they would all get together and make the ultimate decision on both of the bar where and we need to watch launching roasts. and then biting promises. he's going to keep everything a secret. and on december 18th, 2016. everything went ahead just as planned. private bank was nationalized justice by had stipulated. now the main stock holder mentioned by poor a shank, go ukrainian oligarchy, ego or

a polar moist sky. he was outraged and said it had been done without proper procedure and was purely a government graph. but who actually cares, especially when the international monetary fund, which provided ukraine with $17500000000.00 in aid in 2015 back to the decision to nationalize, prove our bank. now some critics look at this and say the whole thing looks like a giant fraud with the ion math and the ukranian government, the supposedly sovereign playing along with bite. and who can forget how joe biden bragged about getting a prosecutor fired in ukraine. prosecutor was investigating his sons, company risk holdings. western media would have us believe that ukraine is a totally independent country and that russia is rolling in to take it over. however, leaks like this suggests that ukraine has been firmly in the pockets of certain people, not people in kia, bought on wall street and in london. and of course in washington,

d. c. kayla. papa artsy, new york. our us, me isn't the eurasia centers. executive vice president says ukraine lost its sovereignty. years ago with the u. s. dictating its policies well, ukraine is, is known to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. the most corrupt in europe. also we had, the ukraine is, is been for decades them, and has been a target of the us to to contain russia. and, and it's goes even before 2014 that goes there even before them. well, you gotta remember to is the, at the time vice president biden was the, he basically was appointed governor, i guess you could call him that, or the viceroy or the basically was responsible for ukraine. and,

and let's say ukraine has not really been a sovereign country since since then, but my don cool that occurred in 2014 to africa. now where the prime minister bertino also visited molly on thursday to discuss cooperation against the threat of terrorism as the countries continue their years long battle against the hottest insurgencies. that decision comes after both nations expelled french forces frustrated by their failure to defeat the militant insurgency. we could create a flexible federation that would be mutually reinforcing and respect the aspirations of both sides. our forebears tried to create groupings like the molly federation, which sadly did not last. but they showed us the way creating a new federation should be undertaken now. on sunday, thousands of demonstrators rallied in burkina faso capital to celebrate the withdrawal of france troops following

a 5 year spent in the country. protesters wave flags chanting down with imperialism and down with french policy in africa. since a deployment of french troops on burkina soil in 2018, the country experienced a huge spike in terrorist attacks with rising death, tolls. that's according to human rights watch, a local correspond. it told us more about the suffering caused by the militant insurgency in the region. 20 a person killed in 2 different attacks. monday the government will cannot fossil unnoticed, but good buddies of 15 pair from out by thing is of the kidnapped by killers. go last week, where discovered in mungo data area. 545 kilometers west will have fossil sadness and cost emission refilling of looking at b as in deployed. it is very sad to see an identified people attacking civilians.

the situation in our country is not easy, but with the new president who took office 5 months ago, i hope it will be fine. the malware it hearts are high. it's in human, but all we can do is the strong. i know one day it will end and there will be no more terrorist in our country and in the war, we mustn't despair, we must be strong and support each other in success. it's a situation that really saddens us. it's awful that armed men can cowardly attack unarmed civilians. these men act so because they can no longer gain the upper hand over our defense and security forces. so they have no other choice but to attack the population this fall and good to know for booking at fossil 360 kilometers of work at google was also targeted by till it failed to pass on. were killed, death 4 days after, but told us where defeated in then after the plan again, the min minutes came of the city. according to abeline, tell john alice,

and i really no doubt till they have decided to increase the fear in the population don't call who. so i think that the strategy of terrorist is, can people, terror is about creating as many victims as possible with any means they can use. and unfortunately, it is ordinary civilians who are suffering and dying. number is 5 d 5. so as of november 2022, around 1000000, 810000 have left their home cities and villages. according to you and report, 60 percent of the internally displaced persons ah effortlessly keeps seems of toddlers. in biopsies, outlets the by tourist repeatedly reported last week. 2 buses reported picked, were passing it in the southwest. will it be village on the same case,

it goes to the voters of to go and got however of late tell. he believes that there is no reason to lose hope about the situation of booking a facile to do this very well. i don't think we should despair. this is everyone knows that we're at war against terrorism. our goal is to defeat the evil. so to fall in despair. now that means we're given up to 124 people have been killed by israeli forces and the occupied territories of the west bank and gaza strip in 2022 according to the latest report by the palestinian health ministry. this comes amid a rising death till among palestinians civilians following multiple israeli raised in the region. since the beginning of this year, our teas, maria fin ocean, takes a story from here. very human rights groups,

both palestinian and israeli as well as the us have already stated that have 2022 israeli. our we killed more palestinians in gaza and the west bank lending any all the year in the last 2 decades since records were kept. but the latest report by the palestinian authority, health ministry that used the data of red crescent society and private hospitals gave a really gruesome picture. 224 people were killed, including 53 in as i, and 171 in the occupied west bank. also, there are $53.00 children among those killed, including a minor is younger than 10 years old. more than 10000 others were injured. around half of them due to live ammunition another report by geneva base, your mad human rights monitor that was issued last week. rebuild that 125 of those fields were civilians and were not involved in any military clashes. death toll from these rally side is also an alarm. and according to the country,

foreign ministry listing and attacks including knife mom's hand shooting in central tele, be downtown jerusalem, and all throughout the west bank and ms. raley settlements there killed $29.00 israelis, both soldiers and civilians. pound dramatic last year was it seems that 2023 is on the way to heat all the records. january the 1st month of nathan. yeah. was the government who has already been called the most far right in the country's history became the bloodiest in years for palestinians with 35 people killed. mostly in military range by israeli army, all throughout the occupied west bank, which is more than one death per day. and poise rallies with 7 civilians killed, have the worst terror attack in jerusalem since 2008. it was a terror attack near a synagogue in one of the religious neighborhoods in eastern jerusalem, the palestinian authority, as well as the number of human rights organizations from both sides,

blame israel and its effective use of force had open fire policy during military operations. for these dramatic escalation had his recent missing in the west bank with the us packages of faith. presidents math mode above said that they've exhausted all means of negotiations with jerusalem. or molly's now, we're just going to nationals community to interfere and to put more pressure on israel to stop it's policy. america's tall diplomat who before making abandoned molla, also met these railey prime minister benjamin netanyahu. here in jerusalem said that both sides should work together and trying to de escalate the situation on the ground and reduce tensions. but israel and seems to be very determined and fighting hard when it sees as at terror threat. so fears on that there will be more tensions and even more, which of medic escalation and as a war in yemen field by western weapons supplies to saudi arabia, drugs on

a british government lawyer has argued in favor of continuing arms sales to riyadh while being grilled at the you case, high court, the barrister says it's hard for the saudi military to avoid committing war crimes and blamed it on the yemeni rebels. who said tactics made it difficult for saudi arabia to operate within the principles of international humanitarian law. they were no uniform, haven't any differentiation in their vehicles, and deliberately use of violence and civilian infrastructure as shields. the court case began after a u. k based and g o, the campaign against arms trade brought legal action against the government over its lucrative arms. sales to saudi arabia, re adds, military has been accused of committee, multiple war crimes during its 8 year intervention and yemen. civil war. however, london and its defendants insists, the u. k is not a party to the conflict since 2015 the u. k has license at least 8000000000 pounds

worth of military aid to saudi arabia for use in yemen. some estimates say the actual sum is much higher, and if all additional licenses are taking into account, the real figure could be closer to $23000000000.00. the british weapons include military aircraft and bombs, which have been used against cities held by the who the rebels. some 9000 civilians are said to have been killed by the saudi led coalition. political analysts, alexander mc case, as the war is another example of britain serving its own interests via proxy conflict. the british government claims that it's not a party to the conflicts, it starts as laughable as their other claim, which is that they're not a party to the conflict in ukraine either without british government support in terms of arms sales and also in terms of the operations of the saudi air force, which operate under a heavy advice and am coordination from british and american officers

in a coordinating center that operates in inside saudi arabia. britain is an integral part of this war and has been for many years now. the british government wants to continue as well, because not only is it targeted against a jamini movement, which he's dedicated to fully restoring the sovereignty of their country. but the british and the u. s. government also see this as a war by proxy against iran, as well. the profitable nature of the british armstrong, the saudi arabia is there for all to see if you just look at the sheer numbers involved. but more than that, this is about the british government using an alliance with the saudis, to maintain their influence over these regions, which they can't directly occupy any more. and this is why the arm sales will continue that in the, you know, the enormous amount of money being made. and it's why they won't back off this war in yemen. so it say, what is actually going on here is a very brutal,

cynical calculation of. busy britain still operating as an imperial power in the region. the russian president has joined celebrations and rolled override, formally stolen, broad marking the 80th anniversary of victory and arguably the most decisive battle of world war 2, stolen, broad saw the armies of invading nazi germany stark and thrown back with a red army. then going all the way to berlin, delivering a speech at the ceremony. vladimir putin said it's shocking that german tanks are again, being sent back to you. crane. decades later. neither i yet you get a yes, no, no fucked. it's hard to believe, but it's a fact that we are once again threatened by german tanks, this time, leopards with crosses on them once again coming to fight russia in ukraine by the hands of hitler's followers. at the ban derivation, those who drag european countries including germany into a new war with russia and expect to beat rush on the battlefield. apparently failed

to understand that the modern war with russia will be completely different for them . we are not sending our tanks to their borders, but we do have something to respond which and the use of armored vehicles will not be the end of it. in general, it has been a couple of days that the local here have been celebrating this. well, very, very emotional date for so, so many of them because so many of them have relatives, have grandfathers and family fathers to pause in this world very bloody and hard fought battle. that ended up with the soviet troops who saw get sold just taking the city back from nazi germany, from the troops of van mark. and basically, this is just one of the venues where the people, the locals can come and world celebrate and see what the local authorities have prepared for this big, big day. and of course, with the russian president coming here. and this was significant, a date on this anniversary just adds to the symbolism. and of course,

we could see and hear the russian leader while drawing parallels between you that date and that battle, and that fight that fight during the 2nd world war against nazi germany and would russia sees it is doing right now in ukraine. meanwhile, the pentagon has spotted what it believes to be a chinese surveillance balloon encroaching and us air space. the military is considering taking immediate action to protect homeland security. you can read this story and much more on our website at our key dot com. those were the top stories this hour and a russia foreign minister survey lab. rob sat down with mike earlier for an interview on key issues of foreign policy and the current russia international agenda, particularly centered around the u. frame conflict and rushes intention. find out what rushes hop diplomat had to say up next. thanks for checking in. we'll see a back at the top of the hour.

ah, ah, is your media reflection of reality? with in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true war? his faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.

for over a century and a half, the german question has been hotly debated during that time. germany was at the center of 2 world wars and the cold war. now it appears berlin is abandoning its post hitler policy, pacifism and non intervention. and again, russia is the editor ah ah, with,

with both both the models, you need to do your book nelson smith with a, a, a, a, with the 1st one. we're murder

with a little of last night with such shim nipples of satisfaction is going to be the question that millions, if not billions of people ask him to date which it when will this whole thing be over after today? and there was neither pneumonia scottish lauer goal the goal of diplomats, our military, the guys who were there right now, working on ensuring our independence, protecting the interests of our culture, the people who want to be part of russian culture. i don't think they're asking this question when will it be over unless they focus on doing their job?

when judas, they want their work to be fast and efficient, which would minimize the losses and our support. both emotional and political is very important. if we can explain what is really happening, as we witnessed this geopolitical game, the world will soon realize that this needs to be stopped years but, and it can only be stopped. and when we see that the west led by the united states stops with this stubborn resolve to never end it or to end it only when they can be sure that nothing threatens their had gemini, any more through surgery. so at this stage, we are just doing what our western colleagues are doing. they said that this conflict must be one on the battlefield. it is their formula, i'm sure they are the ones who refused to negotiate. they made the key of regime walk away from the talks and they did it back in march at the moment when a political settlement was still a possibility.
