to, i'm not going to make it the looking at foster celebration one year since the cool in the country ruling president kept me. brian mutari says it's companies on a long road in the, at the root taking is difficult. we have a fight against imperialism and imperialism. is not only those who are all the sites, he does, especially the domestic lackeys inside. there are other things we have been experiencing since day one. as slovakia votes for parliamentary elections today, keep a close eye on the countries social democratic party. what is needing in the polls? the site is not done by some given by protecting our compatriots and don bass. i know hosea, we are protecting russian self. we're fighting together for the mother lands for

our sovereignty spiritual values and unity for victory. president clinton and congratulates ross here on the one year anniversary of it. realistic cation of the country with this new region. as the us treasury chief, formerly made such a russian or cap, is not working. bosco's finance ministry forecast, even higher growth in energy revenue. the flood, it's 3 pm from the russian capital. this is audrey international and i am michael court. you have all the latest stories we're tracking at this time the, the hundreds of people took to the streets and book enough classes capital. while the do go on friday to show support for the routing got been one year after it came to pass in the can a support as was seen waving, but cannot be flags. the holding pictures of the countries young military leader,

captain of brian charter, reflected on the country's tough road to freedom committed. i'm putting to the route taking is difficult. we have a fight against imperialism, government and imperialism. is not only those who are all the sites. he does, especially the domestic lackeys inside. there are the things we have been experiencing since day one. crowds gathered before the gap in broad track, the statement of national television in which he set an attempt to cool had been followed. the country is mandatory prosecute, anita said for suspects have been arrested into where on the wrong bob of discussion about big reactions from people on the streets of booking, of fossil with many praise in the incumbent government saying that in just one. yeah, it, brian chary has managed to put in place reforms that had failed to be implemented in the 8 years prior teeth rule, a duncan resort. good. we have been encouraged by the efforts that have been made.

there has been achievements that must be consolidated among these achievements as the equipment of our defense and security forces. and we also see progress in this war. we are convinced that we can make it to the end. we can achieve the satisfactory goals but not right away, because the evil is very deep. we cannot resolve this issue of terrorism overnight . the enemy is with us. he does not come from outside, but he comes from burkina faso. remember the veteran during the previous government? we were almost in chaos. the military agreements have been denounced resulting to the departure of the french army from burkina faso. the democratically elected presidents were not able to do it. the presidents who came to power through cruise were not able to do it. and if he manages to do it, this will be a very important to achieve met. last year. it is a government which is characterized by a lot of hope mark by positive points regarding the military aspects. it must be noted that our army has never undergone as many reforms in 40 years as it has undergone in one year, especially when we take the period of the terrorist conflict in burkina. faso

reforms which were not brought about in the army in 8 years, were made in one year, whether institutional reforms of the army itself or reforms linked to logistics or recruitment methods. it is with this regime that they were implemented. officially, the salary came to power in september last year, austin, the leader of yet another cool, the head seeds pallet a month earlier. many citizens welcome to his government at mid rise again, security and disillusioned by the previous government. charles, rise to pa, how that was strongly condemned by western countries whose influence is waiting in the west african as to how it regions, what can i possibly like its neighbors, molly and the shed is battling a nice lot mist insurgency. it has killed thousands and displaced millions of people across the region. the book cannot be president emphasized that all 3 countries with ministry leadership should work together to secure the region. and that's the default when you want to defend the program itself. that table that

you don't normally stay on the table to defend. you go beyond that. if we had supported molly, since what it's wells, if we had supported needs. yeah. do you think terrorism would have happened that i don't think so. we stood by has, if it only happens to all the people, moral, this is what many states around are doing to what the best way to defend yourself is to go a little to the level. this is also the argument that certain less than states boot full was that they come here to fight terrorism so that it does not happen to them, especially a slovak that goes to a parliamentary polls. we are keeping a close eye on the elections next, kicked off today. the smell or social democratic party, which opposes ministry support for you train comment the leads and the polls. archie corresponding to charlotte dimansky has more on this. a social democracy, better known as smith, has been consistently leading in the polls. so it's probably the as well,

but seato and then the haze direction. the idea of this policy winning is sending short waves through brussels. smith stands against many western values speak to for example says his party would do a you to an old sending weapons to crane. slovakia has became a beating stick in the hands of the and educated operated at the behest of the west . we stand our ground and what we said at the beginning of the war, we still say today, we are not pro russian, we are not pro ukrainian. we are pro human and this labeling and even attacks by the international media will not change our opinions. smith says it stands for traditional family values. now the ones that have been imposed donate by the west of free to has also made it clear that he will slovakia to roll back on cooperation with the u. s. stuff that's not going done well in some quotas. even before the votes being come to the us and boss of it's slovakia has been throwing his weight

to rivals. we've had several meetings with feet so head from the point of view. i clearly told him that 1st of all, ukraine is a matter of national security for us to lock you, as well as from a to that is 4 year old and the united states of america. the only winter of the war in ukraine are the western arms factories, and then many wonder why no one wants peace and ukraine, even if smith does top the poles, they will be able to govern the alone. one policy is expected to have discussions with about forming a coalition. is this the fact national policy now the s n, as advocates for traditional for student values and the national identity of slovaks? and it's also supportive of smith's plans to a boat, military age to crane. and if somebody who could actually watch for months, no, we do not want to continue military, a legal fees. i am a gaze decided zeta nodded designer how it says this sort of thing. that ukraine

has to solve its own problems. i am against the fact that general judgment go as the head of the armed forces went to visit the accompanying zone. let's not annoyed the russians anymore, because we really only get along here. if some states do not accept what is happening, grains we should not boot ourselves in a position to send weapons there. it's also spoken as a gain sanctions on russia. and it was to see policies implemented that would put sla vacuums interests above those of brussels and the us to set pick on. i thought we are waiting for that task for nato. i see that it is an outdated project. we need to talk about how to work together with the army. so the member states in the european union, and i'm not crazy. as we've seen recently, some people are talking about leaving the union and nato. slovakia really lives in the middle of europe. and we cannot afford any such advance. we need collective security. our army is decimated,

but we can not be pulling some of the interests of other great powers from across the seats as we move to your policies have previously girlfriend together. and some would say that it's a natural fit, but even if the s and s managers to break through the threshold needed to win seats to so back is national council. to me is likely to need a nova ally us 3rd one. and that's where things could become a little bit tricky. show that you've been skiing in boxes, lava for archie. now let's press live 2 damarian juries. a far in the fast team leader of the republic of party in foreign policy on that is not mine is good to have. you join those right now on our team. what are your thoughts on assessment as to the voc as parliamentary election is in full swing right now. is the moment was many people here. i waited for the campaign, but very intensive under can be felt some kind of attention and interest upstate designs because so according to my information participation of population,

new or used from the morning to really significant. and uh, it looks like, uh, it will be higher than you know, most of them in the less. now, if you assess the, the competition between the various political parties, how healthy it is considering the, uh, the history, the political culture of the country. if you, if you say about the campaign or main issues or main issues of campaign are these are public finances or domestic economies, industry or effects of external european nations. but the industry health is so long, but i would say the main most people are basic will reduce what is included where everyone. one of the field is solver entity concepts against global this concept. discussion about what should be our topics nbc chose. we will discuss with our partners out of something in terms of how you work in or global policies. well,

what would you like to see in the you'd only in the future and, and how. ready the outcome of this election is going to shape the country. what would you like to see is the outcome of this election? we must see because we still have enough though the results. busy because it's very, very connected with these results by the, for example, in case of foreign policy, because it's very discussed in campaign. and these times, i think there is some of our tennessee the select. yes. for employees who will be facing the friends of the we can better see you as well. ready as part of some politicians to declare those statements which are used to adjust us contain re election some parties so like the so validated governments many times at long years . and to be a really big don't see some significant efforts to shape the for them. but i see differently like, uh,

these vs uh by the elections of course uh can surprise us and so everything can be different. so rather we can told you about the off the office or announcements. so hope results. all right, what's your take on arm supply to you train? what's the potty spends on that? we are really very clear in this way. so what about the sanctions or sending the arms today? ukraine are. are you points or position? i think i read better 1st. will said about this thing, and other parties likes mad or as soon as they're buried, inspired by this, by this position. so that's what i said before. oh yes, they are inspired by us about the rebels, the navy. i'll realize that opinions despite the reality is that sending the weapons to the ukraine is just prolongation of the conflict, prolongation of human suffering. and the, and the sanctions,

or financial support of this, of this company is, is harming our economies. and not only on the slow by the context, but you are being economies as well. and we saw it in a, on a european level. we saw with the metal a many european level s as in both on the european union. but you have that level at all. oh so that's, that's dissolved position. i mean, most 1st, then we still keep these positions for now. and so we really say about is very honestly and very clear how people tell cool this election being shaping slovak s foreign policy. specifically, specifically, as i said, the many bodies around us which are kind of similar in the topics as it says, you have sanctions and they'll pick up sending prep as uh we can be receiving. ready these efforts are really, really just a part of the campaign. if they,

they page it's really honestly, is the question or them not enough for me. i can just or see their, their uh, i think before when they read governments. and now when they are in a position, so somebody's like these are very and government many times among the years about the election so far. so 10, surprise us. we still don't know who will be when or will be 2nd or we'll, we'll, we'll shape the new government because there is, there is no extra rice. the winner will feel shame to government because maybe some part as we will miss in the parliament. so we will see that so, so what scenarios can play out in the case where one of the 3 leading political parties, when i can say i was met buffy. when you mentioned the possibilities by our positions, by position. so, but everybody capacity,

it was the longest and governmental part in the realization of view points is questionable for me. and this time, when we say about the about the do, it means continuation of actual foreign policy, which is very prob, russel's pro western pro 3000000 leading and the last bar the or was created by division of poppy before and it's, it's very similar case like smith, incorporation with matter that rhetoric was much more softer, much more diplomatic, but for him policy in the real can be similar like providence who was like yeah, their opinions and viewpoints that are very blue or it's not clear. so citizens, so just don't know what they need and what they plan to do. so basically come in for these 3 parts. i, i order e u countries keeping non close eye on the elections. what you see, what reactions are you assessing?

so it has a significant geographical position. you are part of the position in case of the general or european union, and he's neighbor, ukraine. so i understand it from the point of geo political interest of some of the western part. as i would say, the spot know so really appreciate and like actual government the and expecting it so we can say like all silver, anything in decision making. so that's the reason why they keep close eye on the election and the potential change after i finish. all right, the my injurious far and the fast team leader of republican party and foreign policy analysts. thank you very much for your insights and all of this moving on. now a lot of me put in has given a speech to mock the one year and advisory hop reunification of russia with its new regions most of the stuff that was sent to you, but

a year ago on september 30th, a defining, truly historic and fateful event to place an agreement was signed on the admission of for new subjects of the russian federation. 2, millions of residents of dawn bass are sewn and supple grocery regions have made their choice to be with their fatherland. this conscious, long awaited, and genuine popular decision was made by people together with referendums, in full compliance with international norms. they showed courage and on using character, there were attempts to intimidate them, to take away their right to determine their own future, their own destiny, to take away what is dear to every person, the culture, traditions, native language and all that was hated by the nationalist and their western patrons who states your co and t as in 2014, and then at least a full scale civil war of terror against dissidence. they organized the blockade constance shelling and punitive actions in the dawn bass with nothing. and no one

is able to break the will of millions of people, their faith and truth and historical justice. the people of rush off the whole heartedly supported the free and unambiguous choice of our brothers and sisters understood and deeply felt. the main thing is that by protecting our compatriots in dawn baths and novel row see, oh, we are protecting russia itself. we're fighting together for the motherland, for our sovereignty spiritual values and unity for victory. but if this is to the referendum on joining russia took place last year in the for regents of done yet, the ganske separate it was. yeah. and hobson the vote showed more the 90 percent a vote as supported the decision international observers of you and i forgot all of us. all the event confirming or procedures were followed correctly. of us, russian culture and history comes under attack in the west. this historical monuments also being torn down in the trade rushes near region,

seek to preserve the national heritage. from the yes, here is our correspondent, steve sweeney. no luxury is the city of a median roses. don't? yes, because probably now nobody internationally because of the ukraine conflict and the fighting that has taken place. it but the so much more for the city. well, monuments are being torn down in ukraine. here they remain untouched. so we're going to take you on a tour, just some of the many statues of don't yet. i mean, there is way with the sensitive don't yet, city, this is where a tool begins behind, but you can see a stop to, to the quite mount himself for many of the job in many, for most of your towns and cities. this wherever itself is being the scene of many events, some let's go bodies over the years. now join me as we take a walk around the rest of the city in september and i see 43 don't buses, liberation from nazi occupation, stop choosing memorials across don't yet commemorate the he was a full for the freedom of the city. this is the t 34. these were the very time rolled into don't yet city in the past will deliver, i do from nazi occupation,

is now a memorial to the a total memory of the red. so does it sacrifice so much for that? how it is it was, or the final resting place of friends greevich who was killed in october 1943 and this upper rose, your region. some of his men boy, his body bought to starting a stone. yes. was that no. and both the 2, but it's t $3476.00 tank on top of the tank was legs were replaced by $23485.00 printed, which is original tank is now in display of the nearby monument to the liberators of don't boss on next stall. people pay tribute to the heroes of don't boss behind me. they start to use time. so as you may just tool, it features i myna. i never read all the soldier to think as it were important in the building on the defense of the city. but this have you to has come on to ukrainian shedding meetings, but nothing is sacred. this is a welsh engineer, john hughes, a founder of don't yet city. he came here in 1870 onto his mil. i'm was company

want to commission from the russian government to play the hall, but then they will by using chrome shots on the baltic sea. he brought with him the 1st wave of immigrants from his hometown of the 10 mill. and he built still works on mines in the area surrounding the county as river the city was originally named use. okay. and he's on a, this is a very river that gave birth to don't yet, city today is a high, even for families for georgia is the double. cuz you might even find some of the local sitting on one of the many benches on the embankment reading one of the place . why this guy, until and chuckle, known by many is the father of the modern russian language. they start to or push can sits on the boot of all the parents, his name. he said the price would have been done yet, so i'm not, can you claim with start to use like this one i'll being told down as positive. it tends to eradicate russian culture and identity. we're about to go see a fine, we'll start you on. you might be surprised if you symbolic, perhaps a 2 volumes that represent post russia and ukraine. the national identity stance

are close together. this is tara ship, jenco, ukraine's national poets. but unlike the push, getting start use of being tuned down across ukraine, this talk to you to ship jenco remains on talk, saving don't yet. what do you create new language? so you don't shop signs and invest on menus. it is clear that there is no hatred to be quite new people. so maybe just maybe a neo nazi free don't yet. can be a model for a peaceful future. this is steve sweeney in. don't yet city for all to the us. treasury secretary jenna. yeah. then his said that the prize cap imposed on russian oil. bobby g 7 countries isn't working but can get the 1st public acknowledgements of the challenges with the program. it does point to some reduction in the effectiveness of the price cat. russia has spend a great deal of money and time and effort to provide services for the export of its oil. they have added to their shadow fleet to provide more insurance. and the kind

of trade is not prohibited by the price cap. right to further discuss the issue, enjoyed by archie, contribute to chris and chris is good to have you join us right now. thanks a lot. now this statement is coming weeks after. and now the, the, you know, us treasury 2nd, you know, official was saying that the price caps were working. so walk us through the contribution in the statements. it's a really great question mike. so looking at the contradiction, i mean, we spent the morning looking at different sources and just trying to get to the bottom of, of how he could have come up with this. and even, you know, america is that say own backyard, the international energy agency, which is by some power as it's america, is a member of this organization, have come out and given and really stop links to testing. they've said the russian oil export revenues have extended from $1800000000.00 to $1713100000000.00 in august itself, a light. and then we thought these figures actually coming out of russia. we've got

a little bit. you don't type, we'll get the full state budget, but the state budget investor is predicting figures but even higher than this. so i have no idea why, why this guy said that even with the end of the 2nd. but that's might take a look at that. what do you actually set for 9 months independent agents? the cap is working and then we're seeing rushes revenue cut by almost half since this time. last year, while all markets have remained stable, as so as we can see, mike, i mean the know what he was potentially drinking or smoking before. he would not be a part of that. but it seems that everything and he said he didn't quite a single factual soul. so you just said, but if it came into his head, i think it's well upon days, that's how the fit goes. go and common go income sometimes, you know, he's on the table and then it's off the table. and so, i mean, but how the ponies, what was the initial plan? how was this supposed to play out? generally, yes, if you look at the initial strategy, which is probably can come to the in the white house and then followed by the european union itself. the specifically was,

let's try and kept the price of russian oil and gas that by making it on affordable for all the countries to buy was what they didn't realize. so for some reason didn't, didn't know was that russia had all the friends around the world to be happy to buy that from the countries like china, countries like india, even countries like saudi arabia, which we're happy to even though they oil producing nations. what happened to unload russian oil into their own countries? a mix it with their own oil products, which would allow it to be pub, a legally sold in the west. that was a big problem, but we could actually take a trip. it's at a how the they sort of concoct to this and what they thought would happen. we'll get us joining forces to drive out rushes war chest is by just now introducing a russian oil price cap globally. like this. i would keep the pressure high on rushes economy by introducing to no price ceiling. we have taken an important step to decrease the stage earnings from oil exports or what

products you're price, capital, help limits. mr. put his ability to profit to your, of the oil market. so that he can continue to find a war machine that continues to kill innocent ukrainians. so yeah, as we can see, mike, from that we've got the all the grades. we've got bumped the lion from the you, we've got john. it yeah, lead. we had left shouts coming in, you know, the man who's had his, i'm pipeline blowing up for him and seems to be okay with it saying, you know that we're going to try and destroy your assets. but what we have seen across all these economies now is the price of oil is going through the roof, the price of natural gas. people in those countries are freezing to death in some cases. and that having to pay a lot more then where is, you know, with side here in russia, it's going to be your 1st christmas scene here. my in my 2nd, you're going to see that the heating works and it's very,

very cheap. i've been seeing a lot of efficiency in the city. the city is amazing. thank you very much, chris, and for your insight into that as a great, really be interesting. now that's something is i think the best time i a michael caught you at, i'll see you again in 30 minutes by now. the membership of stainless things. let me go up a success that i knew what a single age control is. really know who you are. i'm using this room for as far as what a 2 family friends or family plan. what are some of the progress dealer, presenting energy authority to pay that the i c. m. assume is what the poll your

ruling on that i was searching for the committee to push the way through. 4 different here. it's our cabinets. i've used the we are in control of the land of fire breathing volcanoes. volcanoes vividly captured the imagination and they define our lives much more than you would expect . so what are they capable of and what makes contract as volcanoes stand up the pirate buddy i'm or 2 inch as i've been doing news now for 30 years to languages

all over the world. and here in the united states, i've interviewed for you as president's work that some of the largest television networks in the world that i believe after all about the new should be honest and direct and impactful. and that's why we call this direct impact the so there's this trend taking place in america. maybe it's really more like a reverse trend. affirmative action. so you sort of action is supposed to give an advantage to those who may be less fortunate, but over the years, many argue that it actually ended up doing just the opposite. let's look at it by allowing me to ask you a question. because this is what really affirmative action is about. do you think that a minority, for example, a good african american student should be accepted to a university even have he or she does not have the best grades among the

entire group of student candidates? and here's what i mean. so let's suppose there only 2 positions for new students left at this university is the one who is not a minority. got a 92 percent right to 92 percent between the grades and exams. the other who as a minority got 91 percent, one percentage less. which applicant do you give the position to? the one with 92 percent were the one with 91 percent. if you chose the one with 91 percent who is the minority? ding ding, ding, you guess correctly, because that is how college students have been chosen in the united states beginning in the 19 sixty's. that's when the administrations are present academy in front of the job and present johnson bush for civil rights laws that brought about a.
