[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the top headlines right now on off the international comments from the criminal and that's impressive that it may appear to instead of kids counter offensive, comfortably on day 6 is not achieved. any open subject says you crating and forces have suffered enormous law in the shrugs off for us congressional panels. suggestion to join nato, saying the blogs framework is not applicable for new to fit of all the close

feedback from bodies or administer to the class that you any special representative to the country to push soda non grata of skepticism towards the organization does continue to grow across the pond till the best on the whole program for you. that's our, with a ton of developments. appreciate you joining us here for this program. what else to do? so the russian president, vladimir putin, has said that ukraine is using reserve troops for its counter offensive and has failed to fulfill its objectives. i put in, sir, is that right now based 6 of the offense? it was an official, and it can be stated with absolute certainty that this offensive has begun. this is evidenced by the use of strategic reserves by the ukranian army. furthermore, the ukrainian troops did not achieve the objectives assigned to them in any of the combat areas. over these days, we have observed significant losses of the troops of the ukrainian regime. their

losses had been substantially greater than the classic 3 to one ratio expected during offensive operations. a regular sized ukrainian troops retreated at mid heavy casualties during the counter offensive a time. moscow's forces destroyed at least 30 of keywords by whole times with the western media report saying several prize german supplied left with times were among them. a details now from the region without easy go to stand off. it was the most violent 24 hours in months. after a few days of testing, rushes troops resilience keep through more than a 1000 men into the grinds of war. the old fluid began just off to midnight. few ukrainian soldiers lived to see the dawn ukrainian army chose to hit exactly where a rush expected to even western analysts admitted that, just as everyone agrees this was only the beginning. ukraine has, at least to nato,

refrained all the cooling presents. so russia is training itself and we were lucky to see the graduation exam over a brand new unit flying company kazi, drones here on the safe distance from the front line. the special forces training rushes own drone operates as rushes own. swarm go for it has become a feature of this old books on tactics are useless. new ones written by those on the front lines. lip of the company. a drone is designed for light armored vehicles . the flight speed is up to a 100 kilometers per hour. the operators trained to control it to break sharply to maneuver and to turn around, as well as to locate the target. there is also a 2nd operator, and then the objective control intelligence group defines the target and says we're to move to show on the screen what it should hit. he puts on his glasses,

picks up the remote control and operates it. it flew and struck the target. the drones themselves are probably not difficult to manufacture. there was a lot of ammunition cheap and devastating. these devices of mass produced both by russia and ukraine. and since kiera has apparently indeed made its bet on capturing the rogia, chances are this is exactly where the two's well mommy's will have a face off. i'm a goose done over forcing from so for rose yet. ok, see i know come out. and despite the fail, defensive of western media outlets continue talking up the strength found objectives and admissions of kids forces. take a look at his headline by pretends economist magazine sounds a bit star wars. a come with a to i got hammer there. he says that ukraine's comforter offensive has been both ill timed and ill fated in the west say it is a shocking circumstance as

a wrong information. it seems that the powers who decide who make decisions are in a bubble and do not have the clue on what is going on in the ground. if we look at all the things that happened, we have to sum up that the ordinary people in ukraine and it doesn't matter if they feel a bit more ukrainian or they feel a bit more russian are suffering. the country has lost more than half of the population and people are suffering and soft rate and people are die and both sides and what floor. there is nothing what these people can aid. so any counter often says for any, because parents or whatever the west is push pushy valencia and his people to do now is, is just ridiculous. where your current has continued to attack of areas. western russian regions with drones, dr. sitting several cities near the ukrainian border, this map right there is showing the impact sites with a series of code of skin belgrade on the boundary of ukraine. and it brought in judges, but further to the east. now, one of the drawings fell and there

a nuclear facility called us, and 3 people were injured when a you a crash into a building in what on hash. and that's with all these shape bows. now reports from a pleasure joining me from yet another indiscriminate attack on civilians by the ukrainian military probably carried out with western supply weapons. the devastation here is very difficult to describe. but as you can see, this drone, which was heavily armed with a large explosive war, it was purposefully aimed through the window of this apartment. it's an absolute miracle that nobody was killed. we've had 3 people injured. the local governor has said that the attack occurred. this morning at about 1030, and during the attack this, there's video evidence of the drone circling the city, searching for a target. and the targets turned out to be this building. and remarkably, this building has a single apartment which is under renovation which is own occupied. and this is the one that the training and drone shows of this target smashing through the window

and making an impact on the reinforced concrete floor. it's an absolute scene of devastation here. i've witness free children upstairs into the apartments of stairs, looking at the windows, up this unfolding event as a miracle that they were not killed. we've come here from the city of belgrade, where we've also witnessed these absolutely brutal and indiscriminate assaults against civilians in towns like ship back, you know, and the city itself last night we were in the town center when it came under attack from bad rock and switch out to be deceptive, like the russian military. today we've seen as rushing forward a just protecting the skies overall nation. there's a definite sense of fear and foreboding here. the city, which of course is what these it is strategically. insignificant attacks are meant to do. they're meant to frighten the civilian population on distract from the failing ukrainian counter offensive. you're going to have a listen to what some of the people who actually witnessed today's events had to say it's

a part of the bizarre budget. this is outrageous. it is completely in human. i believe that nothing goes unnoticed. all of this strong dwayne will certainly be punished. i was in another room during the showing, and it felt like the ceiling was about to collapse from me. pieces of glass were light on the floor everywhere. my grandchildren hugged me and asked me grandmother what happened. my father and mother survives both hunger and cold, but what ukrainians are doing is the worst. so probably in the morning i was leaving the garage for work. it was 10 am. at the moment the gate closed something and boston and the mother in law when i heard a terrible sound after 10 seconds was so huge a pile of smoke from the explosion and later was so a hole in the house. so as you can hear, it is having an impact on the local population, but that is the point. there is no strategic on military value to these assaults whatsoever, or they target an elderly,

young and small families are just going about their daily business. and it's very interesting to note that while these attacks are going on to the opinion army is failing and failing badly in your brain with piles of view of western supplied weaponry at burning in the fields of eastern train, shaped bows, or t, veronica and southern russia meantime, rescue operations in the flood areas of the know by a couple of good um, continue with the russian military on humanitarian services, on the ground. we'll show you some savings from the i a couple of ago with water levels that some area is up to. 12 meters, with them, destruction and flooding has impacted at least at 30 villages, 22000 people as well. quote, how the rescue services and the russian military forces continue evacuating residents. pending on the spokes person awkwardly indulged to report his question about whether ukrainian forces conducted the recent attack on them in russian

territory. a quick question on the coast of a dam explosion. so certainly, european politicians have come out for port quick to blame russia saying, you know, this is an example of russian terrorism. but if you look at the context, the damn was in russian occupied territory, the ukrainians, ecological lead set. this could leave crimea without water for over a decade. and the records in the washington post last year that ukrainian soldiers were explicitly looking at targeting this dan. dan was part of a strategy to flood the region and prevent further russian advancements and even fired a couple highmark missiles into it to test that theory. so kennedy id share any evidence as to who might have done this and are you entertaining? the possibility that it might have been your current. yeah, well, i think, as you heard a say, i mean, we're continue to assess how this sort of happened. so you know, all great questions, but at this point it's all speculation. and so, you know, i'm not going to get an hyper medical's or,

or speculate will they attack on know by a couple of good them this week on least flooding throughout the russian control, territories, forcing locals to evacuate ukrainian on western officials are very quick to choose rush or over the attack, despite the fact that dime is located in russian controlled territory is and keep as such, we have previously consider blowing it up. well, i suppose to be, i'm cause grow the grades and reporter who raised the issue with the pen to go on during the process. he says it would be of no use for russia to blow off its phone infrastructure. that's just kind of press briefing one. 0 one is that they dodge questions, but that's kind of my point is they did not come out and say this was russia. whereas during north stream they did. so it's, we're at least where at least progressing towards a little bit of moderation in the, in the rhetoric, which i think is a positive. but yeah, you know, i'm, i'm looking for grains of optimism where i can find them here. it's kind of like the north stream all over again. it's, it would be a strategic wonder. it seems like for russia to have done it. i think what's interesting is you look back,

you think back to when the north stream was bought up and you think about the reaction from the us press the us government. and it was, you know, russia did this pressure blew up its own pipeline and was this hysteria and i even had friends here kind of like less leaning friends. but i would argue with nate, they believed it too. and i was like, mind, you guys don't really believe this, but what's interesting now is you don't see that same reaction from divided administration from the us press. you're seeing it a bit in europe. but i think this is kind of a positive sign that they're coming around to the fact that ok, that was a bit ridiculous when a little too far. and i think we were talking yesterday about this. so don has declared the un special representative to the country as post southern the non grata is 2 weeks off with the sudanese army chief accused figure of escalating the ongoing conflict there is now demanded. his removal details have a local drive list of catabolic a well enough cell cut. 2 of them has had enough also the u. n. n boy in

the country, that's the positive food, a blameless stalking of the conflict which is now and suing in sudan. they're saying that he is the reason why the rep that the support was deemed attraction and enough encouragement to challenge to denny's, which is a fact of the lead by general of delta top uh fluoride. and this is the laptop that was written to the un secretary general, mr. gutierrez. and he is being asked to replace mr. hodges with a more amenable and someone who respects the sovereignty. all assume dad. well, the english side. sadly, last year in december, we start looking at possibly changing pretty much the same step we see modeling, because every a u. n. and boy, a, the solar, the grad top, blaming them for quite some chairs and

a growing service that they do not respect the sovereignty of the sage, the nations. meanwhile, in the b, c, the u. n. a is also being met with skepticism. if the views of the you and talk on the central tree or piece in but the see who's in the most part, we are going to continue this week and at the same time work for the congo lease authorities. so that the process of the comes of the state becoming more powerful will enable us to reduce un mission of presence. but to do so responsibly. despite the u. l thing that they will lead into the see one of the biggest and collective solutions in the world. we need about a $1000000000.00 in the uh, money switches located to the missing people in the wrong continue to have dep doesn't go to what the you with for the us and what can really be achieved. the

following decades of the web presence was in the country as a spike, but they have been pieced particularly in the wisdom pots of the see here, the use of the comb with these people on the ground, good throughout the western countries. so just flattering us pretending it being peacekeepers, but for real we know that losing our manual results is and use us back to this war . shouldn't even take a week to be notified by the way, surprised that western isn't provoking more complex instead of finishing it. so we realize they came for their own interest or research repeated, this war restarted again. now, a year ago, people are dying, but the international community in many countries don't care about it. so the d r c need supports, as the green does. we need strong security and mailed to assistance. we can't expect any help from westerners, as they have never resolved in your world conflict, even their own issues. all this comes from the time of colonization and slavery. we

can't expect help from the west and we need to be strong bottom of the u. n. being painted as effectively being in types and fighting to mediate between the war actions, but of the wrong that of growing. so some of the people that the western nation with the methods might not necessarily be what their country's need right now. and that is something that the read is that i have to pay special attention to the, the canyon. the president william rudo has called on african states to work closely together with the african union on economic and trade. math is the end of the day. the. the reason is to benefit everyone. the member states must consider donating power to the african union or massive traits regional and global security, as well as other areas that africa can benefit from engaging together rather than individually to ensure that the african union performs at the level of its aspirations will be necessary to make sure that it empowers itself with sufficient capacity, otherwise,

african solutions agenda 2063. the african continental free trade area and the young clean, the green continent of the future will never be a reality. a bruce hose ramado made it a summit of a regional economic block that have the common market for eastern southern africa. some african leaders have publicly admitted that groups framework needs adjustments . we split the 100 ride to the ceo of a development, re imagine yourself that africa needs even stronger cooperation then the router's proposal will be welcomed by own member say well, definitely president re so is definitely sharing his pun, african credentials here, calling from much more african unity and lots of different ways many and the boss majority thinks that the african continent should be working together much more strongly. they are very behind major. which question measures like the amc f t a f one central free trade area. he is not just quoting for reform of the institutions, but he's also saying, well, the african,

what african countries need to do is work together more. and i think that's a message which is not only welcomed by other african leaders, but also by authors by, by many african um, organizations including ours. we've been working a lot on in the recognition of the african union in the g 20 for instance. and having a stronger african union will, of course, uh, contribute strongly to that the indian foreign minister has rolled out washington's suggestion that his country join nato planning. the construct of the block is not applicable for new to a lot of americans still have the need to play the construct and that it's not so nice situation to deal with. they use the like a, a, it seems almost like that's the only

a sort of template with which are the only real bond with which they look at the what. the reality is. that is not the template that applies to, to, to, to india. i was speaking with india based author and john, let's to overlook and pay you. who says that india simply has no interest in being subservient. any nation beyond good sports. what are the practical concerns behind it? i see them. that is a not to become a washington state of the united states or the military complex. it's part of that as reading the as a prominent them so not to become a washington state because the predicament of washington state sofa the united states over a long time and they became compress it to a summary of the loss for a name. dear lars fault and the word for we want to ask that is that i think the or

doesn't want to do that. and they want us to do the diag for the different warranty . cool off of having to manage the friends that our family. it is, its, its own strategic imprisoned. i think the front of them is towards the right to know. what do you have to say about the good position? well, the indian foreign minister also dismissed canada is allegations of foreign interference . so this during this briefing, refer to the claims as a quote pot, calling the kettle black. the phase which came to my mind was actually in the face which was a little dots or, or block or dante. i would i be if anybody has a complaint, we have a complaint about canada. you know what i said, the space that they're giving to color studies and develop the experience. so i, i was very perplexed by what a hood, as well as not the 1st time there been issues between monterey oil and new delhi. and we understand that the new democratic party is being openly anti indian. and

now a canadian, the national advisor has listed india among the top sources of foreign interference in the north american country. but also it has been accused of providing a platform to separatists and extreme its elements outlaws in india. when i talk about foreign interference and economic security, i'm know, talking about a number of state actors and non state proxies. this includes russia, iran and india. google, who seems to be sympathetic towards certain people that even be considered as this session with all our canada, which is awesome for winded, centrally you, for these people where at least what can be bad express these cindy birds origin india. recall from this fun movement. these are all kind of funny. simmons are looked down upon and from the farm by the indian government for all these reasons

for reason is that any, any government in any part of the world? what? oh, so i, i'm for the, in the see to see that in these madeline in the face of god about paul, or serving or for all part and should be looking at the lives of those people, those organizations that then a degree it at a sprint. the run them of from colors from politics in india. former us president donald trump has been charged under the espionage act and potentially faces decades in prison. the federal prosecutors have on sale, the 3rd he had coffee and die for the guns drums over there. that's possession of pacifies documents, about a 100 of which were labeled top secret and seized by the f. b, i and the former president has slammed the case as a hope comparing it to a fake allegations of russian collusion and dismissing it to the brazen at the time to stop him from running for reelection. our country is going to hell,

and they come after donald trump. what? but i think the justice of the big weapon ising, the f b i, we just continue to go on because it's ripping our country to shreds. the whole thing is just like russia, russian, russia, just like the said, darcy, it was all you saw the durham report, you saw the smaller report. it was all a big hoax. you had to a peach, vince and they lost and we won. and we have tremendous support, but that was a hoax at a scan. and now they're doing it again. it's just a continuation 7 years. even have to route out. but it's called the election interferes. they drive to destroyer reputation, so they just went elections. meanwhile, problems concern of the justice department's prior who is appears warranted. us majoring media reporting on an alleged $5000000.00 bribery scheme involving the

ukrainian company burst. most of the incumbent president joe biden republican, the congress members have repeatedly been able to view documents from that inquiry in a secure room on capitol hill. it's off, it'll make us tracking the whole the f, b i, director and content for refusing to turn over those records. i drove items response came swiftly. it especially allegations as quote, a bunch of my lucky the worst suggest what they should do or not to bring a new charge and i'm honest, but it's not just the corruption allegations that again when he asked and jo,

where's the money? where we now, the congress has already found $10000000.00 worth of funds coming in from foreign governments that were directed through a series of, of llc ease. to do is grandsons and sons and grand daughters. that there was a kid with the hide the transactions, we know where that 10000000 where it is important to get the investigation. and perhaps if we have a fair f b, i actually doing an investigation. we know where and keep in mind you've got to present bind streaming, we need better laws to protect against the, the on authorized sale in possession of guns. his son lives on the form you do when you do a background check about his drug use. illegally purchased a gun. it's a feller the it's a 15 year term in jail for what he did. and he hasn't even been charged by the same justice department. they rushed out to raise tomorrow laga. when president trump's lawyers were literally negotiating with had returned, some of the documents are complied with. what the f

b. i said to put some of them under a 2nd block, a job. i'm keeping them in a garage next to a corvette with the papers. this present truck describes a garage door and 100 byte and who we know has been selling access or how to access documents that were somehow mysteriously in the up in for an hang on. would you be surprised to hear the us slipped into a technical recession following 2 consecutive quarters of contraction itself with the aggravating of the economic forecast with the inside union? that size of the euro start agency has revised data covering this is focused cool. and the final 3 months of last year earlier, my colleagues more on how i'm, i'm you discussed this issue with the contributor present in spite of what is the policy changes that you are paying governments have been implementing. it's really not slowing down this, this, this lack of economic growth within the u resign. we're still saying, you know, is saying it's a take in the us that report today. we think germany is actually no entity. technically just, just just, it's been split, but really just edged into that recession, negative growth. right. so when you think seeing those kind of things it's,

it's pretty, pretty alarming really that the year is encompassing to break through. in spite of all of the 4 of the what this thing done in the european union, within, within the european union's infrastructure to try and that's sort of time to sit the economic situation around. what does the feature of like for the i think it's quite leak wiper gemini, from the biggest, the biggest boys within that block to be say, i mean, gemini, was pretty much depended on russian gas decided to overnight, but need no longer wanted to receive that gas in the pipeline but supplied that gasp has been blowing off. so we're talking you just going to be able to ricochet effect, which really just was destroying german industry. not to mention germany and what the unit sells. massive reliance and must have sort of no loading dock style and cycle it to the united states. now when the united states brought in, well, they called the inflation reduction act. they forced a load of companies to shut down and relocate that businesses to the us. we locate

that manufacturing forest overseas, some form of us science. if we're not doing site, it sounds like us building, but we've had a lot of sanctions with place on russia was because of the special ministry operation. how has that affect says the, you, in general? well, i think it's have the reverse effect on what they thought would happen. they put the sanctions on russia. what's happening is the russian economy is projecting a positive growth. where is the year is that he's projecting negative growth as a massive infrastructure costs. what are they having to do that going to have to borrow more money from the united states. so somewhere else in order to support the infrastructure, and it's just really it's, it's just watching, in my opinion, slower and slow decline. it's like watching it frightened about to crush us very, very slowly. but you know, we get to see, i think we're going to see that speed up soon. we're going to see full recession. and while that you, you experience as a technical recession, russia and china, a breaking records where the trade volume is, skyrocketing them all the $90000000000.00 so far this year. and then a record marks

a 40 percent increase compared to the same time last year in the nation. so full cost as a pos this figure in the near future. here's benjamin chow, professor of the power school of technology and business, or the west has imposed various songs, sanctions against russia. the majority of the will of a 100 countries including china, india, and it breaks countries demo, sanctioning russia. they continue to trade with russia and obviously more russian gas and oil. we have to do so to the east china and to even india. that's why we're seeing a record tre, volume december in china. and it's going to uh, to break the $200000000000.00 mark this year. and china has remained rushes largest trading partner for 14 years in a row already prussia. china relationship has the highest support from china is present sentencing, as well as the present put. and of course, the trust institution paint has emphasized the importance of

a consolidate team and the time to strong ties for the 1st year. oh wow. you were certainly senior. we marks on tuesday meeting, republish and pining is to invite team. so one clear direction for the russia or china partnership will be to bring both keys and kansas to people, especially the developing well wrapping up here and use program but only for now. here an aussie international catch up on all of us stories, you know, the website is on
