the common ground, the the headline stories this hour to prison guards being held hostage in southern rushes overall. stuff on don't have no, i mean for the 6 isis links terrace holding them pills in a special forces, right? 12 countries, including key players of the global side, refuse to sign the final declaration of the so called piece summit in switzerland, initiated by you print the londoners lensky reassurance is commitment to western values in the 3rd p as gay pride parade ends up under valen. does ukrainian new nazis force than this the,

for the top stories for the past 7 days and right up to the minute developments as well. welcome to the weekly and our team. we begin in russian southern city of what our style for special forces have successfully fried to prison guards who are taken hostage by convicted by 6 members. earlier on some day, a warning you may find the following images disturbing. the video circulating online reportedly shows the bodies of the 6 terrorist kills when the facility was stormed before the operation. special forces had been attempting to negotiate the release of the hostage just now this according to russia's federal penitentiary service, who confirmed the revocation of the islamist during this special operation to free hostages in the russian pre trial detention center in the roster fridge and the criminals were eliminated, the employees were held hostage were released and were not injured. well after taking the hostages,

the prisoners demanded free passage linked themselves twice as earlier my colleagues from one culture of ritual. rudolf talk through the details so far, we know that so all of it service had been liquidated. we are receiving this news from russia, federal penitentiary service. um at the moment. uh, all of those people they say are killed and uh, thankfully, that hostages have been left on the scale on the harm. what we know so far is that in the morning at the hostages of were taken by 6 people that were in the rest of the prison. they were apparently getting ready to be shipped also penitentiary. and so they were in that temporary detainment at that point. in any case, it looks like, according to some inside sources, if you took the hostages several months to prepare this escape, according to special services, they must have had help from the outside as well. what they did was they loosened the grill over over so,

and basically took it out. that's how they escaped into the, in the yard of the prison and eventually took the awards and, and the man in charge of the supervisor. you took them off as you service right away. they demanded weapons, they demanded a car and demanded a safe passage to a foreign country. now thankfully, there was a quick response from the police from the special services they were immediately on the scene. locals reported outages on social media so that was taken care of as well. and we had to wide police there. the entire center of the seats was cords, adults as well. now in terms of what happened before, that's all of these prisoners, they were held in different cells of this temporary deception facility. but somehow they still managed to coordinate with. that's what law enforcement is looking at at the moment. try to figure out what actually happened there now uh the terrace were posting videos of what they originally so they had access to uh, cellphones,

smartphones that access to the internet initially that was later cut off. that was saying that such as this group was prepared by a lie himself. and so these for their legions to isis, which is both legal. and so what can you tell us about these 6 terrorists who took the hostage and said what, what do we know about them? well, the, they already received a lot of sentences for some of them 18 years, some of them over 18 years. now, these man there from chechen republic uh from uh, english shakia and other place in the, in north other places north congresses. now there was sentence for an attempt to blow up a supreme court in the north congress to republic, also kind of tribal circus. yeah. in prison, they were, they were already given characteristics and this is what the federal penitentiary provided for us saying they were characterized as persons who study propagandized

profess force, fred extremist, ideology, and that pro, into convincing terrorist attacks the one that one of the people was also registered as a person from committing suicide and a self harm. so these are the kind of spit terrace we're looking at right now. we're all included on the list of terrorist and they see this here in russia. now we also know from the special services that these people who are liquid liquidated today. uh, they all had uh, uh, contacts with um, uh, with medicines in syria, my various social media and uh, with the reporting their terrorist attack in a rush. and could i try what your case? yeah, they were operating uh under instructions uh from the militants, uh, in the middle east. the policy itself,

of all the latest news about the hostage taking in rural stuff on don't do keep her across her website ortiz, dot com for you signed all the information you need from the drawing them plenty more. besides the notes, all participants were on board with the final declaration following the so called the printing and p summit in switzerland, key global side players, including south africa, india. and so do rate being presented as well. raised questions about the process 12 states. in fact, in total, refused to sign off on the communicate from an event key of had pushed for on switzer authority's organize. our 2 correspondents, steve sweeney joined nikki, or an earlier in the studio to summarize development pro companies. of course that the refuse designed to find will communicate. these companies made me from the bible south, including saudi arabia to live on india, mexico to south africa, brazil. now the indian represents, they've made a very,

very strongly wooded declaration on behalf of his delegation. and he said not only with a refusing to sign up to the final declaration, but anything that came out of the conference until, you know, all of you on the, those options acceptable to both parties can lead to a binding piece. it's in line with this approach. we have decided to avoid association with the joint communicate or any other document emerging from the summit. now some of those countries were rest as in about joining the conference. the total of an express regret that russia hadn't been invited to attend the mistakes. it was something that was absolutely crucial for any serious discussions around peace. so lock the user, i'm disabled because we want to support every piece initiated body. it is necessary to have old stakeholders involved in the process. and here it is a central to emphasize that any credible process will need russia's participation.

gonna request the absence of the russian federation and the people's republic of china. and this may be somebody because they're being more resolve oriented. if the other costs you to the conflict russia plus present in the room, how many countries had simply refused to attend the conference at toll pac hassan was $1.00 of them. but perhaps most important may china, who of course, had outlined its own piece proposal, which was rejected by ukraine on his allies. now the columbia and president, gustavo, petro, made a particularly diving statement saying that he wouldn't attend. he said that the outcome was pre determined, but he said that dialogue between russia and ukraine was absolutely crucial in any peace negotiations. the most important, though, we have found in relation to the peace conference in quotation marks in switzerland is that it is basically an alignment to the side of war. and we do not agree with that. so that is why i have decided to suspend my visit. since we are willing to

participate in conferences that are freely dedicated to seeking the positive piece and not to building blocks for us. when it comes to the actual text of the community that it has been published tons and it could, you break it down for us. well, this communicate revolves around 3 main points. now the 1st one a is nuclear security. i mention say, is that for us, you a nuclear power plant and it says that it must come on the ukraine control. but what if i was to mention is that ukraine has subjected the facility to constant shedding. if i also mentioned the attack on the co good time, which of course is crucial for coding for that we act as in that plan. it also talks about food security and it mentions the ships in the block on the as all cities. but again, it says, odds of food shouldn't be wet, provides but it's, i also mentioned a game that is russia that has provided tons of free grains african nations and some of the poorest and most vulnerable countries. i'm finally mentioned is the

release of prisoners. and i was talking about these alleged kid, not children, but it mentions so does, and members of the own fault is. but again, if i was to mention is that russia have presented a list very recently of around 500 prisoners. but the ukraine had up to, to any, take a handful of those which would make the as a fighters. but then again, the statement says that we believe p region piece requires involvement entitled between a policies. but of course, russia wasn't invited to attend, that the conference express is respect for the you and john to one of the points express is, was about respecting territorial integrity. but as all the, perhaps signing up to that's what is ro on costs of over. so, without any hints of, i'm and the so, so there's nothing waiting you, nothing but to the groundbreaking in the, in this community. and we have to say that the confidence appears to being something of a false. remember, just over $100.00 is the $170.00 invitees actually attended the conference in the

1st place and it was a conference that came a huge cost with around $11000000.00 us dollars spent on just security a low. it sounds like a very expensive p r a has been to me. and just before the summit kicked off on stuff that they did, they before the russian pro, as an odds waste spoken, proposed another pace, initials to is that ukraine on his allies promptly reject it and tell us more about that? well, yes, that's why on the eve of the conference, russian president vladimir putin outlined a piece proposal that would lead to a see saw now he said the ukranian troops must withdrawal from the territory snooty incorporated into the russian federation. he mentioned particularly don't yet new guns can he said that like that ukraine must give off his plans to join night. so now he offered a foot to facilitate the safe withdrawal of the troops from those areas. but he also wound if those terms when accepted next time. the offer would be very,

very different. now of course, this was instantly dismissed by ukraine, and it's back of some of the lights is coming from the american national security advisor jake sullivan, who on sunday said that uh, signing this deal with the crime dissolved. it would leave it vulnerable and it defies common sense, but the kremlin specified price spikes. when the beat you press, golf said that it was a new kinds, best interest to sign the deal with the situation on the problem listening as good as cutting down every time food and speaks of peace initiatives. and when attempts are made to enter the political diplomatic channel, and there are certain conditions on the ground, because each time they get worse for ukraine, you know, i mean, the current dynamics of the situation at the front clearly demonstrates to us that it will only get worse for ukrainians, but probably a politician who puts the interest of the mother land above his own and even above his masters and would think about such

a proposal. let's see what happens. i repeat once again, this is not an ultimatum here. this is precisely a peaceful initiative which is made taking into account the realities on the ground . one put in does not reject anything. he does not reject the possibility of negotiations. now the other responses were perhaps sadie put it to the government towards the old. i'll show it said that the proposal was what meant as a distraction from the peas come, but some he said that they weren't even discussed the g 7 liter summit company taking place at the same time. and it's me, but apparently he didn't even stay till the end of the peace conference. he slipped away the us president job. i didn't attend the to he preferred to attend a hollywood fundraiser with a lot of george clooney and julia roberts preferring those actors over another. but the vice president come on, i have his date attendance. she was clear, the extending the conflict in ukraine was in the best interest of the us, president biden, and my support for the people of ukraine is unwavering. we support your claim not

out of charity, but because the people of ukraine and their future is in our strategic interest. so here we have the absurdity of a peace conference dismissing a piece proposal. i piece confidence without russia on a piece confidence that fail to attain any sense of security. now, at the end of the proceedings that let's see, it announced a 2nd conference where the funded details are going to be flushed out and then proposed to rush up. in the meantime, the psalms will continue to flow. busy on the desktop will continue to rise. the total was good across to political science as john campbell, eric who is senior editor for the issue in the side publication. and in fact, who was present at the summit in switzerland, john ex you're very welcome. you were invited to the, the much hyped gathering. tell us more about your role there and how much you think

was accomplished as well. if i may put in perspective, i would something st. petersburg for the steps and then to bite it to the berlin reconstruction conference and then to the g to what the g 7 and then to this piece of it. so, so it's, it's been quite a 3 weeks and all of those events sort of build on the other, on this one, you know, was a production. and that's what it was designed to be. the problem is that if you had a, an event which didn't have the principles, and if i can sort of put that in into a little perspective. if i, if you're out 9 vague at your house and you come home and i've changed the locks, i'm inside. and then you give me a letter and you say, ok, in order for me to let you out, you need to do all these things. are letting me out, everything is reversed,

and so when you have to communicate focusing on 3 items, you don't have to principals, meaning ukraine and prussia, you don't have the outer layers which include china. and then you have very, very vocally, some of the participants. not putting their names to the communicate. this was far more up production about showing interest, but it didn't accomplish anything and it was, you know, a well done event as this was due. but in the end then, has there been anything that's moved? the proverbial piece fall closer to either the russian federation, agreeing to anything ukraine agreeing to anything. you know, what we basically had is if you're from both sides, what's mine is mine and what yours and the cultural. but the problem is this event didn't do anything to move anyone from where they already were. there was

a significant contingent, joan of spence, including india, saudi arabia, brazil, south africa, who, who all rejected as you say, the joint communicate. what does not say about a global support, particularly not part of the world, the, the global side for the strategy. ukraine isn't point. you know, the, the challenge that you create has, is because presidents lensky is background was as an actor as a producer, mister year map, the head of the president's office, the same sort of of background. and although he's also a lawyer and they look at everything in terms of production and they look at everything in terms of readings, uh, sort of very much trump the in, in, in terms of how your, how you're measuring success, how many people are there of, and from how many countries they are, that's all fine. but what you, you didn't have a disadvantage. you had numbers, but you didn't have head of state and head of government at the levels you needed

to have. and you also had some of these delegations, they weren't really there for the piece summit. they were there because it was a convenient way of seeing other delegations that they may needed to see to talk about if you had, you know, some few interesting surprises where you know the italian, mr. was you crediting your trickier for the black sea green initiative that sort of came out came out of nowhere. it was good to hear of but you know, generally you had, you know, these delegations, the global south, the brakes who either didn't show the. busy showed at the low level joint and just a huge part of all of that to was that presidential and scheme, you know, and this is sort of a balance. if he hadn't been pushy for the last 2 and a half years, then everyone in ukraine would probably be required to be speaking russia russian

today. so he's been successful with being pushy, but it's a bell curve. and what happens is, at some point, you're pushing these people, you're insulting these people, you're in criticizing the people as he did president binding. you know, you're supposed to be here, use be and then bite and meets with him twice at the g. uh, at the g 7 and before that. so you're sort of placating like a 3 year old, you know, it's like a teething, 3 year old. okay. you know, below the mirror, you know, whole meet you will meet you. but in the unit you have is a lot of people, they don't show up because they're tired of him. and that's really dangerous. just in, in some raven, does it bring ukraine and russia any closer to the negotiating table together? this summit, this event, and not your, the 10 negotiations are going to be about the less to see, you know, using the elasticity theory. whoever present,

opposing present to lensky has greater elasticity, will be the one who gains, but the negotiations are going to be resolved. where neither side getting what it wants, you know that they, they, they both have a list and the, the, you know, the criticism of what president put in, put out in terms of ok. here's my opening salvo. you know, you freeze, get out. know nato, that's my opening up in the ukraine. your response was no, i'm sorry. what was the goal shape once you leave and people are, you know, in here it was obvious saying, oh my god, you know they, they can never have any discussion. or if they didn't disagree, there wouldn't be a need for negotiation. sure. so now it's just a matter of where they're going to happen. whether it's going to be saudi arabia, whether it's going to be trickier. but i'm expecting that you're going to see

whether it's the foreign ministers of ukraine and, and then the russian federation. me sooner and then maybe go to the heads of government, but this has to get to a principles level. and as i said, the, this is gonna be less to city. uh once you peel away the, the, the attributes and also people's red lines of it because the red lines are, are, are blurry and they're kind of going to be as always, jones, thank you. so much for your time, john catholic, senior editor for issue, insight on international trade specialist. much appreciate it. thank you, sir. all right, let's set dig into some of the points. john was raising there and speak to the director of the garage. you at the school of business, that's university of somebody and they've been the opposite. who and we'll discuss the summit as well. good to see you. just 1st thing on an overall level. how

successful do you think in whatever criteria you wish to propose this summit was as well as doing that um this sunday, it was uh not assigned me the result way. that's it. i think it was the assignment to try to convince those not yet to be neutral or will not get to the promotional side to see the grades you might see. but it's a, it's one of the things that go through this to people or digital side scan posts, start to assignment, and know what size that's supposed to be on that too. so assessments are noticed, uh, you wanted to have the raised machine and brush up on the to also to try to mix watches the ending with the claim. and probably discuss on the way shows are to try to do these countries like uh, you know,

so i think i'm just very sorry about it. yeah. and sorry, not kind of just like the usual ought to be on the side of the sausage. so uh, i mean this is um, for the one of these, uh, no salt water sides. uh, is this the most most it is giving it to you by the end of the policy. it does all no global significance because the significance because um, you know, and it is the presence a use the place that it does before the sun use on conditional feedback was not to say to to know. so everybody was waited one, submit the assignments to see the right size. probably we did this concessions, i think that was flipped to him. and on the i think from the kitchen from

mexico on the cottages, i saw that. okay, so the issue is the, is assigned to any device and the you can see this which, which included and why fi in the south africa? indeed what, what was one of a dozen and nations which refused to assign the joint communicate look into how much does the decision reflect the position of, of wider african countries. i'm what message does that send the way? i think possibly this as the nicholas on it, and i know the visual that's the time just didn't mark. no, i think everybody just as the, you know, i is open but you don't to keep reserves in the time the blood will get pulled out and you will be off, you know, the remainder assisting. i think most of these are moving towards the example

charges. so let's put this into the pro, as i know some of the others don't by the gold. 4 we saw the, you know, think about what president. uh, you know, i used to be meeting with the president. i just said that would be it for a 380 was actually going to send to, you know, i'm a college concert printing business. yes. it's for us now the same call saves back to the us. so i assume kind of the whole situation of the working up where it's, and on both countries they, you know how to move. and unfortunately, we have countries in africa that to have bought in on us knew that this is a box of visits as well as you can use bottles on the, on, on any kind of nice inc, if there was. so it was that uh that was going to the videos for africa countries.

i'm even countries might solve that. and so that's why i've seen that as i've spent enough time on, i do this very strong. sure. uh, a little you know, you can see uh, you know, uh, using the customer, the assistance of a quote on has been pushed, not please louis news. so that makes it really, n c 5 t, v, which i'm the scene back to pro is that the party has phones lives use this is due to go on. we will do that to talk to kind of for the bodies. you're going to assume, you know, 71, so you're the kind of yeah, i just kind of point out that it's me, it's hard to interpret. i just want to point that the just 13 represent that's out of 54 african countries actually attended the swift summit. one full of actual leaders were among them. that was despite pretty consorted diplomacy from the west to get numbers off. so what the, such

a limited representation of the african continent signal. i think it's a signal to 200 to somebody who came by 30 by this friday. and we've been loving and everybody knows that you're going to use by meeting for the week of this. um, so i should uh get dental vision. is it useful for i think i offer you the, i've been through it more than almost all the time. i'm the we've been on the way and all that stuff. and then, you know, as we know how to use the cartridges that especially that, uh, you know, after kind of time to time in buffalo dental. so i'll do this. i'll put that on that. as i said, beds in one day, you know, 5, that gives us the student immediately. so it's, you know, it was almost operating to, to, to outside in cedartown. so i think i'm just, i just gave it to people on the i think the president very hard to do is what the

mean. thank you so much for your time today and your thoughts as always live and help us. ok for president of the economics association. of something via to now while so called western values under pin the narrative, that loving grid, zalinski echoed out the swiss resort. keeps 1st gay pride march and yours was stopped and it struck by ukrainian neo nazis despite riots police protection. soon after the rainbow flag lead the parade and the nation's capital, photographs of those rallying were re directed underground to the nearest metro station. after a larger group appeared, waving extreme is flags signifying their opposition with what was being shown us to the con, listen script brothers shown stone and say so it appears that western increase of this, that t of a striving for does not exclude neo nazi sentiment. i think that the point is the west, as we know is, is spending money to support and promote these agendas of,

of so, you know, transgender is um, the gender studies almost actuality. i mean there's a lot of money that we know that the west is pouring into these programs all over the all over the world. not just the new great. i mean, i remember seeing things like enough ghana stand, you know, they're spending millions of dollars on gender studies and probably, i mean, probably also, you know, l g, b, t, q agendas and things education, things like this. so none of that surprises. it's just, it's like you're basically trying to do to liberalize, let's say that culture that at the same time is, is, is becoming more right wing. but i mean, how can you, how can you condemn it when, as you said, you, you need these right wing guys, you need these hard and, you know, the neo nazi types are far right types who, you know, and basically taking on the role of a vendor and company that were obviously with working with the nazis against the russians at the time that russia was communist. right?

so it's like it's drawing upon that right when you're the ology, when you want to be inclusive. well, it's inclusive of, of all, you know, of, of the race, of, of religion, of, you know, of, of, almost actuality and transgender isn't. but does that inclusive with the also include is nazi, is that apparently the next ortiz, this time for an explicit one, along with the president of the public, a service got to talk some stability in the balkans today and just how stable the regions borders actually are that's right, i had the .
