and hold up at the difficult and chemical plant deliberation of div care has made it possible to move the funds line or away from the nets, thereby significantly securian from the terrace attacks by the criminal regime in key information on the advance of our troops was not transmitted until the enemy had been completely defeated and the city had been taken under control. this is a big deal. it's a very strategic point as well. the ukranian forces have been if not withdrawing, they've been fleeing of difficult. what can you tell us? what it is from what we gather? we've spoken to friends the colleagues over that and say they say that among the opinions there is chaos. a huge number of the troops of being abandoned and update google. they being told by reviewing the reviews of the job, they never even heard the will this to retrieve. of course there's, there's no way to retreat because maybe you need more or less. what can be described as a route, as i do. if that isn't the for rush and fuck control in, this is called cynthia always under attack. so that they had to small groups tried for the absolute chaos which is backed by the number of the be put the liberation
12:03 pm
of, of div good has made it possible to move the front line away from the nets, thereby significantly protecting it from terrorist attacks by the criminal key of regime. as a result, an area of 31.75 square kilometers, was liberated from the ukraine and nationalists, the enemy's losses in the battles. for of disco during the past day amounted to more than that was 500 soldiers. the russian minister of defense, so here show who has the has a tool and full let me approve of victory in a vehicle. he was also given us some details. you know, a very of the size of what fits you to supply condolences. it'd be liberated quite a incredibly quickly again, because the gradients get the will the to retrieve robin with solvents upon thousands of the troops being that encircled with a pause 24 hours more than a 1000. a 1500. you credited to fly either killed or taken captive? the vase that isn't over. let me tell you. it isn't over this. still carrying out
12:04 pm
the, the, the wreckage, the theories of the multi story apartment buildings. there is also, it must be said about up to an underground city. it is an underground city. without the exaggeration of the past. a key is the pinions, realizing the importance of updates, candidates physical to the state, the switch egypt, importance of, of data. because it could that sort of the roads to the railroad track full tubs. it also has a v. v for traction system. the wonderful tracing plot that supplies drinking water to move in to 1000000 people in. so it is a huge loss for you credit because it has been preparing up div that's for 8 long years. you'd have thousands of thousands of submitted to use to make bunk goods pullover of data around of gave a very secure location. now the, the pulls out the re really isn't any way for them to hold the line as effectively
12:05 pm
because nowhere else they've been expect update for the full. we also know that they wasted the announcement of the capture of dave dental. they were absolutely sure because the bachelors a get k all 6, they're also medium gradients, so trapped in the re about had advancing brushing a sort of troops as we've heard from ukraine. the they said they've elected to save people's lives, which, you know, is a little late to be saying that you're claiming that you're trying to save people's lives. they won't have to say that. so just love a $1500.00 last and a single day. they would it be more organization to it, they will to trying to blame the weather you to get a winter. and as they always to, to try this credit russian fix it, of course is hodges. and so this is this positive deb, which is relatively little. this, this top of the also, it must be said, you have units and out the way you put it in a fee. so say you get it. this is all because of you. this is what because you didn't give us enough shelves. that isn't true. 2 weeks ago, i was just south of
12:06 pm
a 50 in money. the more you create in shelves across the nation, seeing far as us. so at the russian. so i said by there was some sites in that stretch while i was in money for the front there, there is, there is, there is less, there was, shouldn't be no shortage of shells and um, being provided with support with you. great. so blaming these on the shortage of weapons on the weather is, is an attempt to navigate and his government to offer play lots of data. one of the toughest baffles of this will. yeah, i mean that is going to be a bit of a humiliating retreat withdrawal for us. eventually there is at the munich security conference right now. it's heading all these western politicians. everything is going a ok. send me more weapons in cash. and when we're gonna win this conflict with doing absolutely, finding it here we have as you say, this huge withdrawal from a very strategic city of jessica that now we, we can talk about on, i understand that it was, it was a part of the front line that people were not really supposed to talk about,
12:07 pm
we go to keep it pretty much house josh right now. look, this is, this is the, this is the effects of this. and it was very difficult to work in when you observe . because new creative intelligence west and intelligence would track not only, and this is what people told me about phones you don't get and then this way and we went to, we spoke to. but if we say cold a, an office, they could track he's location, anything we showed. even if we checked the double trip to triple check, could be used to get special thoughts. and so we would, we would in the age of people's lives 55 by showing certain things that have different vehicles, an operation that was long in the making long it was very valid. it was cost me, but that have to be in independence. now of course, what restrictions have been lifted and hopefully my, my good friend and colleague, he goes donald is over there. hopefully,
12:08 pm
you'll be enough to you soon again to show that you did huge bug isn't amounts evaluation, where noonish java encompasses as well as all the guy that missed all systems ministry vehicles abandoned and left behind by the way, the military as they retreat. yeah, and it's a big retreat as well. it reminds me when you go back to it was are to come off a bach moved as well. that was another significant frontline, the seats city. this isn't the same in the same way. there was, of course, by you, but that was possible. that was sort of that, that was easy job. you know, each time russians would come close to encircling in ukrainian ways until the last moment. you would have zillow to escape on that same below that the last they'll never take this and then they give the fact to go to the retreat. do thousands and try to watch that have by blaming the west. well maybe don't know around to, doesn't know nazis have been on the much in the american south taking the streets
12:09 pm
of nashville, tennessee during black history month that was sent for ministry, didn't pull his punches. when commenting on the incident, the american style freedom has unleashed everything that was doubled before that was held like an evil genie in a lamp and seemingly forever thrown into the sea. but the resistance to this evil is punished, seen as a violation. according to american freedom of footage, recorded by one pass of buying shows. dozens of people waiting red t shirts and black masks disguising the faces of the open lea, marching with swastika flags, making the nazi salute and shunting slogans demonstrates as are believed to be part of the white supremacist. blood tribe group, which was founded in 2020 local officials, have condemned to the march, but there be no specific sanctions imposed on neo nazi groups that let's discuss this further. let's close live now to steve gil, who's a radio host on political come and say it's a from nashville. steve, thanks very much for joining us. i'm 1st of all,
12:10 pm
given that this did take place in nashville, tennessee, what was the mood among the local people that how is it reported locally? i think people around me condemned it on both sides of the political i'll, as, as they should. this group is, as you pointed out, is part of this blood tri group that basically we have about 12 or so of them that will travel to different cities to draw attention to themselves as they promote their nazi, a anti american attitude. the founder of this group has said they endorse president biden for president because the sending missiles and weapons do you pray. so this is a pro ukrainian anti american pro joe biden, neo nazi group or nazi group. but that i didn't give any things any, any real attention to other than when they are able to draw the tv cameras to their, to their little march through through town. i don't know what the russian term or translation for the word net which would be, but whatever that word is, it should apply to these guys. and since a bunch of nitwits as well,
12:11 pm
i guess people watching this around the world might be surprised. the source of march is, are allowed to take place. now i understand that obviously, and i could just pride itself on freedom of speech and the 1st amendment. what should the be the limits? but i think that that, that 1st amendment does protect you to say even the most outrageous things as far as long as you're not calling for violence or your for example, shouting fire in a crowded movie theater. and the 1st people, i think it was interesting, this group did not let people know they were going to do this. they, you know, ended up walking through the street. ironically, one of the radical black liberal legislators in tennessee happened to catch it on sale. i'm not sure if he got a heads up and therefore was, was the guy that was given the opportunity to promote it on social media. but this wasn't something where they said, hey, we're going to do this at nashville on this time because i think you would've seen counter protestors lining the street and shouting at them underwriting them. uh,
12:12 pm
hopefully not physically attacking them. but i think you would have seen a counselor protest if they had publicize that they were going to do this. most people are national. it was on a uh, on an early morning through downtown nashville and it wasn't a work day. so nobody was there. so they've kind of had free reign to walk through the streets and nobody paying attention until afterwards. mm. well, the us, steve, as i'm sure you know, as, as voted to a number of times against un dropped resolutions calling for combating the glorification of not system a new not system. how would you describe that position? why is it done that? yeah, i think it's interesting if this group had been walking through the streets, flying, or can cetera babbling flags of the old rebels flagged from the american civil war . i think you were to see more outraged at what they're doing and, and the anti semitism, the pro ukraine pro by the approach of this band of quote, the so called not cease is, uh, is kind of treated differently than they were treated. forget they were walking the
12:13 pm
streets, was considerate battle flags. again, i think this room use does it have to draw attention to themselves? there is no rise of of, of white supremacy naziism or anti semitism in the bulk of america. you do see these little pockets, certainly on college campuses where anti semitism is on the rise. but there is no rise of of the duplex plan coming back with these nazi groups really getting any traction at all, which is why they cover their faces. they travel town to town with their red t shirts. uh, you know, walk you through the streets to get somebody to videotape it and, and just create visibility for their group. they're not making any difference in america or in the world. uh and it's, uh, it's again a reminder that there are a few people who are literally crazy promoting their bizarre agenda. fortunately, it's not taking hold anywhere. i'm so can old breeze aside for at least that's the feel video host. i'm physical common sense, as i say, much feel take on dr. montville nazis in nashville, tennessee. thank you. all thousands have taken to the streets
12:14 pm
of tel aviv to protest the nothing yahoo governments handling the war in gaza or quoting for you will actions and it's really the. 6 the discontent is known things in israel as some hostages, remain in the hands of from us while the war and god survey just on protest is also demanding. and you ceased by i'm prison. a sort of deal with the palestinian militants is going to police scramble to break of crowds blocking and made some of the city streets and enjoy some of them. hunters validate outside the 5 minutes as
12:15 pm
residents shopping, similar demands as well. some of the demonstrators have to say, i can, i'm here because after experiencing the terrible catastrophe we went through in october, it cannot be that this government remains in power without asking the people what they want. and we want selections here. and now our economic security is dropping. prices went up by tens of percentages in the past year. our credit rating has dropped, which means damage for years to come. this government needs to go home, period. if things are only getting worse with everything that's happened since the done and it's been time to take them out of prison years ago, every day we are waiting is this government is destroying as well, literally in terms of people dying. and also the fear of as well, the values of this country people are leaving,
12:16 pm
people are dying. what else can happen that would need to prove that this is a dangerous government, the worst government, the government is running. it's very important for me to bring down to is government because they are damage in the country. everything they do is for their own benefit, their political st. and the only way in my opinion to bring them down is, was produce. that's why i'm here. like every oppenheimer who's in these really piece and so based on head of the 2 states coalition says that benjamin netanyahu is doing everything possible to strength. and he is very right wing coalition. and to avoid any elections, it's very clear that the, these are the government a doesn't want to have a new election because according to all of the boards is going to lose any lie and dramatically and the, and they've been the guns. we re name email address landslide, their victory, and we'd take over that then the out, the phone, and then the always not the aiming to. these are the public. he doesn't care what will be the result of the pause because he doesn't want to go for an election. he
12:17 pm
doesn't want to even ask the public what, what they think about his government. therefore, these doing whatever he can, you know that the strength is a writing a question, and not to allow and your election to be comp. and, and this is the reason why he's giving away all that, he's really interest to, to explain why to reinforce so, so with these home government. and this is the, the reason why so many people we go out to demonstrate against this government because they see that their policy is not the right policy for the state to freeze when it's the rightful policy for the past. and within the hour it needs quality. she was original thoughts who is investigating the sudden death of the physical address that like say not all in prison on friday. and the penitentiary service says that the 47 year old became a locked a walk and lost consciousness. of which medics were unable to resuscitate him. the west was quite to by most skilled the rest. as for ministry had bucket those claims . the death of alexi, nevada. and he has,
12:18 pm
once again demonstrated their her parker seat cynicism and unscrupulous blame. russia in every situation scheme is in action in a short period of time within 2 hours from $1419.00 western politicians and the media corps at their beck and call managed as if to obtain the results of a forensic examination that had not yet taken place to conduct the investigation accused moscow and render a verdict. a lease president joe biden has personally blamed the russian leader enough on his desk who is responsible for another on his desk. putting is responsible for over 3 years ago in the meantime, the chase to hell a lot of consequences look on his spokes person. dmitri pest golf has denounced from at your assumptions by western politicians regarding the cause of developing
12:19 pm
stuff as an inquiry is still the way the statements of western leaders are quite obvious. look, there's no statement for medical experts, no information from medics and no information from forensic experts. there's no definitive information from the f, a cyan. so there's no information about the cause of death. and there are these statements. it's obvious that they're completely outrages. we consider such statements to be absolutely unacceptable. there are unacceptable, and that's how we feel about them. well, there's a lot of information out there right now, but very little of it is confirmed. basically, the stuff we have confirmed is from russia's penitentiary service, who was the 1st organization to save it and of all the has indeed died political activist. and also we, we should mention, political extremist and russia from and from 2022 onwards. according to the russian government and the service says that uh, what happens essentially was that he lost consciousness after going for
12:20 pm
a walk and medics arrived at the scene and forwarding to a local hospital 7 minutes after being called. and they tried to re recess to take him for a whole 30 minute. so 30 minute for 30 minutes. yeah. and uh, but to no avail. uh, so there are reports, also unconfirmed ones that he had complained about feeling bad, but according to rushes social monitoring commission, this is an organization that's responsible for looking at for human rights in the country. no official complaints in connection to a state we're actually recorded. we do have one source, is that our team says that that he died from a blood clot, but this again, yes, it has yet to be confirmed by the authorities. penitentiary service said that permission was already on its way to the penal colony where this took place. and the last piece of information that we do have is that and of all his lawyer has refused to comment on the situation. specifically, per the request of all of these families. like i said, we have so little confirmed information and already we're seeing across the western
12:21 pm
media. people pointing the finger at to the russian government. we've seen also the norwegian for administered the lot. the in president the head of the european commission, all saying that the russian government is to blame for and of all these death, even though an official investigation hasn't even been conducted yet. the you holds the russian regime for sol responsible for this tragic death. alexis, of all the paid with his life for his resistance to a system of oppression. his death and a penal colony reminds us of the reality of vladimir putin through jean redfield news about nev only if the report about his death and russian prison is true. it represents another terrible crime by putin's regime. this is something that rushes for administrative spokeswoman. murray's a harvest said, is really revealing about the west's true attitude to fax and situations like these . the immediate, the reaction of need to leaders to nobody needs death in the form of direct accusations against the russia itself revealing there are no results of the
12:22 pm
investigation yet. but the conclusions of the west are already here. and you know, like i said before about an official investigation, that's obviously going to be really important in terms of establishing what actually happened. but unfortunately, i think it's very likely that it's going to be ignored in the west. like many times before. when we seen similar situations like when nev only felt ill in 2020 western press was saying that he was poisoned by the russian guardian, russian governments. and the medical professionals in russia conducted their own investigation and determined that there was no, there were no chemical substances involved. the system that was completely ignored . and unfortunately, it's likely we're going to be seeing a similar situation now. and finally, the opinions, sanctions, policies seem to have bought, fired just lots of times by western countries to destabilize the russian economy. the country is g. d p climbed by 3.6 percent in 2023 outpacing both in you. and the us, as, according to official figures,
12:23 pm
is ought to contribute to it makes them awesome. with more of the wes team, unity is really sticking together just like drowning victims. then clinging to each other, after germany's own national statistics office forecasted a 2 year economic slump in the wake of a 0.3 percentage point dropping g d p last year, citing high energy and living costs. now it's the u. case turn to drop into recession. also with a 0.3 percent dropped in g d p at the end of last year, that was even greater than what economists had even predicted. all according to official figures, the finance minister blames high inflation. so the cost of food and energy that spiked when europe decided to slack financial sanctions and constraints on its own cheap gas supplier, russia. but hey, there's an obvious solution for europeans looking for more reasonable cost of
12:24 pm
living. so i'm not exactly current on the prices, but here's what the cost of moscow. 647 roubles. so that is exactly 7 dollars, 7 dollars and 5 cents. i think in for that we got to cheeseburgers large fries, large colla a coke knock off and a piece of chocolate take. so we weren't guessing what this would cost. however many, here's something i'd say it's buy groceries and we didn't pay any attention to cost as we're just putting in the car where we would actually eat over a week. and we all came in around 400 bucks, about 400 bucks. and it was a $104.00 us here. and that's when you start to realize that audiology maybe doesn't matter what size you thought corruption. if you take people standard of living and you tank is true filled, and crime and inflation. and they literally can't buy the groceries they want. at that point, maybe it matters less what you say, whether you're a good person or
12:25 pm
a bad person, you're reckoning people's lives in their country. and that's what our leaders have done to us. and coming to a russian grocery store, the heart of people and seeing what things cost and how people with it will radicalize you against our leaders. that's how i feel any way radical or i'm making any of this up by the way at all. so yeah, your opinions to just go do their shopping and dining in the most sanction country on earth. the same nation that the countries currently dipping underwater into recession said that they were going to drown as far back as 2022, a transition meet from engage. the russian economy is collapsing. booting is to get the money, but you can hardly spend it. and time is not working for russia, it is working against russia. nobody wants to invest in russia anymore. put in, con, keep this up for much longer. this war will eventually come to an end by shipping the russian economy to the core. and we are in the process of doing so seems of all focusing on all the ways that they were going to implode, the russian economy,
12:26 pm
these leading european countries mostly just ended up showing how it's done on themselves, is dramatically bad. we can't go on like this. overall, we need to invest more in this country again and get economic growth going. now that the wind is really blowing across the country, it becomes clear, but we have failed to address and the last few days kids. well, that sounds like good news actually, maybe now that matter for it, quote, wind blowing across the country as a german economy minister cause it could power up the german industry and prevent the overseas exit as to countries that actually have a reliable energy supply. well, the same economy minister was busy bragging about reducing his own shower times. contrast all that with what russian president vladimir putin has been saying about russia's economy, me scales of last year's economic growth was higher than expected. precious gdp increased by 3.5 percent according to our calculations and by 3.6 percent according to the latest data. this has happened in the world average,
12:27 pm
globally just figure averages 3 percent. economies of developed countries are growing by an average of 1.5 percent. all of this is in line with the international monetary 5 is own upgraded assessment of the russian economy for 2024 and upward revision of another 0.6 percent growth over its october 2023 projected resulting in a project and 2.6 percent growth forecast for russia in 2024, and a 1 point one percent growth forecasts for 2025. specifically the i m. s. site slide military spending and domestic consumption. so 2 things that are totally the result of western actions against russia. whether it's making weapons used in ukraine, against nato, back forces, or sanctions boosting russian domestic consumption and production. so it looks like the wes brand plan to destroy the russian economy is paid a bit of a snag. and this recession stops,
12:28 pm
seems to be quite contagious. even japan has been hit losing its spot as the world's 3rd largest economy in enabling jeremy, even in its pitiful state right now to move up in the 3rd place behind the us and china. as for the u. k. well, it's now reporting a 2nd and consecutive quarterly decline says technically a recession with a greater economic contraction, then anticipated apparently no one to task. the british prime minister though see really is that then move on down the road is yeah, he has a full cross journey at the confirmation of recession exposed as a government, as a prime minister, completely out of touch with the realities on the grounds. a government that for
12:29 pm
too long has groups on the economic failure with complacency, content to be the manages of decline, which he soon claims he has a plan. but the plan is not working. he claims that the economy has tons, aqona, but the economy is shrinking. the claims he doesn't want to take us back to square one, but we are going backwards or the prime minister's claims are in foxes. oh, come on now. no need to worry. the experts have it all under control. over at the european central bank in charge of maintaining price stability and low inflation, they're apparently busy fighting over whether staffers are committed enough to drinking the green koolaid the top official over their report of the has the backing of e. c. b president christine,
12:30 pm
i gather in telling employees who are ardent practitioners of climate change religion that they're just not wanted there. that's according to a new report from political. so while the ship is struggling to stay afloat, those over at the home and in a position to help correct the course, have apparently been otherwise occupied, squabbling over the size of its carbon footprint. are those of some of the new stories that shave the we k on oxy international form on any of them, as well as all the latest updates due at over to our website oxy dot com. when i speak to scott, i'll be back with more in just around 30 minutes the the .
