the, the, in the headlines or not you international. the us did choose the results of venezuela's presidential election and lays the crown on the leader of the opposition. democracy, p dot mando gonzalez's, washington's new south american doctor of georgia. as far an info as transparency, little comes into full so the us, i believe suspends 95000000 dollars of age to the country. we investigate washington's tactics. it simply targets those unwilling to ebay the west. so cold space international water and the roll back home is flooded, meant food, and welcomes 8 russian citizens that have must go apple most states side. joe biden arrives to greet former prison, isn't it? takes them. i want to praise himself for making the fibers as you brought him over

70 americans. if you had not had a job, i'm sitting in the oval office. i don't think this would have happened. my job is to make sure and honestly guys can just say this was vintage joe biden. the such a busy day today if you a heavy heating storage zonati international and before our correspondence, why might you shout to join us here in the studio 1st? not even a week has passed since venezuela's presidential election. so nicholas, my daughter will cut out the clear victor. but now washington says it has proof that the widow is in fact, the opposition leader at window. goldman sachs have a blessed a, a. given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the united states and most importantly, to the venezuelan people, that edmondo gonzalez, or d, o one, the most votes in venezuela is july 28 presidential election. we congratulate edmondo gonzalez, or dia on this successful campaign. now is the time for the venezuelan parties to

begin discussions on a respectful, peaceful transition in accordance with ben as well and electoral law and the wishes of the venezuelan people. yeah, there is the rules based international order strikes. again, the things you mind that you show now joins us live a few to talk about this. i mean, you know, the one country whom i'm of the one country that's always blaming others for election. meddling is see me like doing exactly that. now of course the, the us clearly dismisses the results of the elections different as well and elections and recognizes the opposition candidate as mando gonzales as the winner. now, according to the us secretary of state, there's over. well, mean a evidence that the opposition one, but the village been as well, and it looks or 30 declared that my daughter all. what is the winner with 51 percent of the votes on his side. now when my daughter went out to celebrate, he did highlight that some 4 entities are trying to has the voting system and he's

dressed. but this is not the 1st time that this has happened and been as well as that someone is essentially trying to violate the ease of the country. non, the less us officials seems to be outraged that the results did not go with the way that they've been hoping for their demand in a release of full data elections almost in a threat. and intel defined an administration essentially saying that their patients is running now. but who are they to even say a lot of patients is running out is what to do. said the other day. these guys always tell us what to do. they order us around, but who all day? the tell us these directives, i guess listen just just quickly. washington says it has ever to so the opposition lead a won the election in venezuela. i got to ask you, who am i, what kind of evidence they give on saying they have it is, but for whatever reason, they're not providing it, but this is a familiar pattern coming from the west. just recently, canada says the china is interfering with no prove the backend. it's claims that

you have back in 2016 where obama says that last hacked into the us, the e mails about us selection again with no proof. so it's about what the was sees of said, who it says it's favorites and essentially who it sees the, you know, they could use as some sort of puppets. but let's also remember an important case which is the case of route. because while essentially the, the us now is pushing for the voice of venice mullins, when it came to peru 2 years ago or a year ago, there was silence from the us. what happens when the right to the wing go cool, leader dena boulder want stating through essentially came to power. i guess bruce elect to left wing president the steel b. u as embrace her with open arms when angry nationwide, protests of people protested, which resulted invests and injuries. so we heard nothing from the us about violence

or people's rights to protest. so, for instance, we also have the case of way. clinton last the 2016 elections. somehow they blamed this on the roster, but when the fight and one to 2020 elections, there was no metal in whatsoever or a when the referendum in done file system. so there to be a sham. but if he decides not to hold its elections, it's okay. i mean, the list really is long here, but i, i get that you get the idea. there's a pattern. the west has its own elections coming up and according to polls, this is very interesting. only 44 percent scent of americans have a great deal of trust that the votes counts will be accurate. so may be the united states to start focusing more on its own internal affairs. but either way, elections that are held by others, according to the united states, are legitimate elections held by its allies,

are totally okay. but back to venice while i because the supreme court denounced on thursday that it will open an investigation into the results and processes of the election and present. i'm a duro seems to be quite open to it. i've told the electoral chamber that i'm willing to be summoned question in all these thoughts and investigated by the like told shane, but as a presidential candidate when of sundays elections and as head of state i showed my face and i submit myself to justice. yeah, you know, currently, if i'm mistaken here, but didn't then as well as defense minister one earlier about the west allegedly attempting to to yes, exactly. he has accused the western backed up position of attempting to media cool and condemned towards fed a riots after him and doors when on the door. i was also warned about a potential for himself. but we see here the thing you was trying as hard as to

undermine disability event as well. i mean, for so many years they've put criplin sanctions on this country. and sanctions that were deliberately put there to crash the economy of the country. and you, what's the officials have also been quite clear about their plans to essentially postpone the government. first, we thought that getting why though to declare and so present would be enough to topple of using. then we thought putting aid on the border would be enough. then we tried to serve construct a kind of 2 in april of last year and it blew up in our face. when all the generals that were supposed to break with madero decided to stick with him in the end to well, you know, to me who am i? i'm just seeing old ghosts right now. the old goes to one quite oh, because a few years ago america said, oh, he's the next president of venezuela, but it seems to be that one. why though has not been swapped out for and condo gonzalez. can you just take us back to that time of one white?

oh, so as he's mentioned in 2019 as similar scenario happened to what's happening today, where the us decided to renounce the legitimacy of president dora back then and shows once again the opposition leader, which at the time was one why the who declared himself as being term president of venezuela. now, mind you that is also against people's votes declaring madura low as the chose in 10 days at the time he was even threat and the military intervention into the country. the was simply did not care about the result. central's wydell as the venice, while i'm president, they've been inviting him everywhere instead of the actual present and to represent then as well. and somehow they forgot all about him once their plans didn't work. in person that you recognize as a leader and democratic leader in many today's not here. what do you think about themselves? walk along later on here. by whom one way though,

the danger and president of venezuela said you look of nice, but i wanted to talk about who was here, who is, here is the president of the united states and has been said 4 years ago. the president did not attend. so let's forget about why you know, because now they seem to have new people that are trying to push their interest into a southern country. in this case, it would be edmondo gonzales. but we have seen this time and time again from the united states where they're trying to diminish all the solvent countries on sovereignties. so it's not really surprising. yeah, i mean, do you think but think back a few years ago when they tried to put it in one wide o instead of nicholas, my daughter that, well, i'm confront report. so one guy though, as a young man and was an into another us state department and if indeed that's true, you can imagine they would, conditioning him all that time to go to be ready for this democracy. but it's my hon. then why don't you shock thank you for running file of america. so hold rules

based international order will cost you, that's the price. georgia is apparently willing to pay as it's transparency of foreign influence. lower is coming into force and in the raw, that should we say on diplomatic move, the us secretary of state all of a sudden analysis, tens of millions of dollars of aid to that nation is now suspect. a master anti democratic actions by the trojan government. and also a comprehensive review of biological cooperation between the united states and georgia. as a result of that review of the united states, exposing more than $95000000.00 and the systems that directly benefits the government of georgia. the message is quite clear, they will support georgians as long as they have 0 atlantic aspirations. and the soil is not very your atlantic, apparently, because it asks for transparency something washington is clearly notice final. well, the law in question simply asks n g o's and media organizations that receive over 20 percent of their funding from

abroad. so register as organizations promoting foreign interests and to submit annual financial reports which will be made public doesn't sound, i'm democratic, but actually very logical, especially considering the amounts of warrant interference and proxy wars these days really themselves have a similar law. but of course, washington doesn't like a level playing field because that would expose and potentially limit the depth of its interference in georgia's affairs. it should be clear to the governing party and georgia that there is a path back so that having free and fair elections without violence against civil society making whatever transparency requirements they want. this for an agent law make it compatible with the law rather than compatible with the russian law and not have trying to develop a deep water port in

a not clear. these are steps that are really important for georgia to take. that's well, that's ordering government needs to do if they want to maintain a friendly relationship with the us. play bar rules, like whomever we say, do not cooperate with china and then your back in the game sort of and surprising anymore. because we've seen washington use this tactics so many times. remember when joe biden fried sense of of hold $1000000000.00 and they to ukraine. if kids didn't fire prosecutor and i went over, i guess the 12 thirty's time to keep and, and i was go, i suppose to announce that there is another $1000000.00 loan guarantee. and i had gotten a commitment from portion co and from lots in new york, and they would take action against the state prosecutor and they did. so they said they had it, they walk out, depress, kind of so nice, and i'm not going to or we're not going to give you the $1000000000.00. i said you

have no authority. you're not the president, the president said, i should call him i should. i'm telling you you're not getting a $1000000000.00. i said you're not getting the building. i'm going be leaving here . i think it was what 6 hours. i look as i'm reading and 6 hours, and the prosecutors not fired. you're not getting the money. all sign of got fired and they put in place someone who was solid. that was in 2016 when joe biden wasn't charge of boston since duke framed policy, which somehow saw his son the hunter by then get a cushy, a lucrative dig, a local energy company. and when the plastic cuter started investigating the company after claims of corruption, why done? apparently, once of the prosecutor gone in exchange for that 1000000000 in a, this is how they operate when they need something. and what washington leads from georgia is exactly what it needs from ukraine. so own it politically speaking. well,

one could argue that they already own the presidents. that should be about it, but it is today when the guys to russia stands before us, partnership approach went with europe. and america is a true way to maintain our independence, peace and strength, serve with neighbors. europe. isn't that surely closer to the georgia presence heart because she was born and raised in paris, she even had 2 passports until 2018. so started in the us under people like a counsellor to us president lyndon johnson who later became national security adviser to president jimmy carter. and this was the kind of rhetoric that the future ma down president was learning. well, unfortunately for washington, george's president doesn't have all the power in the country so she can help them out, which is why it seems they are resorting to withhold any money again on the interest of or something such as like the american, i'm the european union needs the only golf guys that you should spend all on the

transparency of foreign influence. i don't see by the parliament as an excuse for the west to demand georgia to open a 2nd front with russia since since the beginning of 2022. there's been serious interest in opening a 2nd front in georgia, which would weaken russia's position, would also destroy all countries. there is a global war policy. this party is not interested in the state of georgia, is that only interest is weakening. rochelle slips once again that he was his show and it's true colors which have nothing to do with the proceeds of democracy. but rather the pursuits of domination. we heard from the director of the center of issues of globalization who says that the western pressure on georgia comes to placing doesn't want to sacrifice its own national interest, nor does it want to be of bass. how does that go on? the leash law is just an excuse to press the george in leadership so they clung to this law and began to promote this topic. but supposedly this is the only unmanned

reasons for the discontent of the united states. in fact, this pressure, which is now being felt in georgia by the west, the european union, and the united states is caused by the unwillingness of the georgian leadership to completely sacrifice the national interest of their country in favor of the interest of the united states in the foreign policy arena all these measures, including the freezing of 8, now and so on, but the united states are punishment for disobeying the instructions of the united states on the part of the united states, against the background of this statement in georgia, there will be definitely a speech by political parties, these countless public non governmental organizations that have existed on western grants for 30 years, a huge number of them, which united, very aggressive active use. and now they are all becoming more active. they will accuse the georgia leadership of departing from european values. i think it's not going to stop there. i think that this freezing of these $95000000.00 will be

followed by more serious sanctions against the country's leaders and the economic sphere. economic sanctions. so that the population feels much discomfort. right, so to one of our top stories here on auntie is that important as welcome to 10 russian citizens, including 2 children. they arrived home to rush around a historic prison, to swap with western states and the presidents of hunting flowers to an adult set uh the daughter off of a touch down also present for the homecoming with the cheapest and both the russian for an intel service and the federal security service, i'm putting think those who have connections to the military for that long. i want to thank you for your loyalty to the old studio due to the motherland, which never forgot about you for a minute. and here you are at home. all will be presented for state towards. so as a, as we've been covering it, when i see a rush, it really 16 people in return, including those with weston, russian, and dual citizenship among the american journalist to evan cosca,

which right here again, the president charged and convicted by the way of espionage. and russia also convicted spies poll whelan. he was also let go and pod and by that i mean food and that's what his german citizen rico pre got, who was found guilty on terrorism chargers and bella roost. oh, job. i didn't greeted the returned americans at the applewood and was well as usual . so my job is to make sure we get to stop. yeah. so, so just to check, it's just what is your message to put me to an invite and says stop. whatever that means, well listen, so let's talk about this. it hit start, prisoners swap. now without to use that space we need joining us in the studio here . look is massive like a lot of people involve a lot of spawning phases,

but what's the reaction so far out of sudden western leaders, when, of course this is the biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the cold war. uh, i must exchange between the russian federation, the united states, germany batteries on other nations, some 26 people involved in the extraction from 7 countries. now of course, the negotiations on the ground work that went into this would have been fairly lengthy. it would have been very complex, but of course the united states, what it seems to want to take so credit for bro, creating the deal. as of today, my immunizations brought them over. 70 americans were wrongfully detained, held hostage abroad. the president was himself personally engaged in the diplomacy . the block that's about many since before i took office, i would say that if you had not had job, i'm sitting in the oval office. i don't think this would have happened. additional issue. the executive order 2020 to authorize the penalties like sanctions and

travel vans and those who hold americans against their will. kind of honestly, guys, i can just say this was vintage joe biden, rallying america rally and american allies to save american citizens and russian freedom fighters. and doing it with intricate stay craft, pulling his whole team together, just drive this across, could finish line. well, plenty of itself congratulate $3.00, slapping praise for the role of the outgoing use president joe biden, finding himself to speed up to his own trip to paving, to wonder off from the plane as it landed with those freed american prisoners. he couldn't, of course, resist taking a swipe, russia taking his wife, but form us present. donald trump while heaping prize on nato countries where you mention nato countries. what kind of reaction did we get into the prisoner exchange for various nato countries as well? yes, we have had some reaction, the not a happy german jones out of sholtes among them. he's lamented the release of what

you described as a convicted criminal. he's referring of course to a body cross. he called on the he was a child. he was sentenced to life in prison for the shooting of i checked in minutes and i checked him, but it's in fluid power down some particular degrees of war kinds, including using his call to run over the heads of russian p, o w. as he was speaking about innocent people with the hotel fading prisoners across the world, he was of course, referring to the german national rico creek. he was a child, he was sentenced to death off the he was caught in a better ruse, posting a bomb attack on the radio network. now sholtes in his speech at the airport in cologne for he took to the podium and praise germany's special relationship with the united states. it is not my once again, it was a special moment for me a moment that a certainly further intensified the friendship between the us and germany. the

conversation i had with the american president emphasized this very much, and it was also a sign of our mutual willingness to do something based on our shared tradition as states governed by the rule of law as democracies. and also as free societies. well, the german media, perhaps predictably, well, it's going into a meltdown. it saying that this is a victory for the russian president vladimir potent. now they said that any pardon that should have been granted by old off sholtes upon the, the german justice minister. well, he forced this, paul, didn't, through the prosecutors again, they were opposed to it. so then not very happy with the situation. some criticism has also been leveled at spain for fighting to lift a finger to secure the release of the russian bone. spanish during this popular gonzales, he's been held a postage prison. and i, we,

we heard from his lawyer who said, well, russia did all the running, but he went as far as to choose spain, of conspiring against him. of spain has done nothing. blow has jewels citizenship. i don't know how well when the spanish authorities found out that 5 lo gonzales would be released. they did not contact us, and i understand they found out about it from the media. the last moment, spain participate by sending intelligence reports against public gonzalez and his lawyer. that is me. pablo is a very resilient man and has stood up to everything he made it through. and now he remains to be seen what the consequences will be. it was an unjust imprisonment, long and hard to, you know, state we sold the russian president vladimir putin welcoming those of look of apple with hugs and smiles. flowers in the hand, shakes as well. we still put it in there. but what about reaction from other russian official most good, who has struck a formal consillio, a 3, a tone that we've heard from the western countries. it's

a praise to better restore its role in securing the release of a prison. the prisoner that was hold up that rico krieger, of course there was no mention of batteries. his role from the west, russia has of course price, either of those countries that were involved in the negotiations. we can hear you now some reaction from russia's photo ministry spokeswoman marizza. how about, let's take a listen. what many have called an exchange i would call a bashful of self control, self control of prison. this self control of political sorts. his self control of special services by all accounts was of the best. perhaps it is also a question of face and hope that the people in this state are behind you. and today's history has once again sandy's face and hope into the knowledge that we don't abandon our room. now, there's been some talk about flooring of relations between russia and the west. uh we, i'm sure we wouldn't have seen a prisoner exchange of such magnitude. no,

even one, do you ever go and i went to put it in? it's jo political context, of course is the conflict in garza, the fiasco over the bite and tendency in the presidential elections of the united states. the change of government in britain, russia continues to advance on the battlefield. we've seen this is changing tone from cabinet now talking about possible peace negotiations with russia. so these are very small steps at this stage, but hopefully i move in the right direction over to africa. now we're an overnight coffee who has been put in place in nigeria. it's protest over inflation and a crumbling economy continue to erupt. our local correspondence, our own location of the sport as something talked 10 days of rain and starts up forgetting to march out right here on the 1st day of the protest piece. where does work forward essentially by huge compromise and on social media to say about,

you know, there's so much honda in the country and these people are gone to a level that has to come on. the variable for families are also asking the government, you know, for more accountability last year my turn for, for these prompt, bips tends to feel subsidy payments and also sharply defined in the my german car in see the myra. these policies, let's do the prices of goods and services and commodity prices essentially. you know, uh, food prices in the countries skyrockets. anything beyond the weight of the ordinary people behind me, you can hear porters of the, of taunting on that day. but for my turn slides, i says we're hungry and we can no longer cope with a situation of pre and space. but at some point i had this fight abuse. when would i say warnings by outside is the government because of the days that lead to these demonstrations. one of the products who descends into keels and um, the security operate is right here. a big fan. you trying to ensure that that does not happen to pay these are also trying to coordinate the process that are asking

them to move into the stadium, to my left. that's where we want people to protest us to convert sorts of multitude of trucks to flow of traffic in the city. but the protest, as i said, it will not be confined to a place or say about the will carry on with the most traces right here. on the street, nigeria is face it as well as the economic crisis and a generation with i know they've collections so into over 34 percent the highest and nearly 3 decades food prices of search even more dramatically in lagos, the country is commercial hub. nigeria is a typically known for the receiving end, so that that's ability, but many are now struggling to cope. the situation is diane and it's unclear how much more of the population tended deal the as collecting hardship as let's approaches. and i do a use a demand, did an ends about governance and

a better economy and also an to go no way to place you a response, not just press the button. i meant to be as appealing to patients. urgent organizes to quote off the products. it's a several state governors of want a potential violence and citizens to stay up the street, but the use of defiance and of all to remain on the streets until the demands met. jerry and law enforcement have a window of a foreign interference and malicious groups. i mean to cause chaos. the police inspector general his side of the case in kenya with the government acute weston in g o's, of sparking protests that we have from bio and then especially the presidential adviser on media and strategy. e says the demonstrations will do nothing but bring more violence and instability to where the president was due to not for the quarter. so be we forms for those who are going to be the filters. it will be a very big oak ridge,

a 10 or 10 days of the revolution. turn the periods over to jim's chains. so this is on the filters. this is not the language of the gross who wants to something better for their attention to the language of americans. seasonal. god bless you, said bryce. there is no big voters. did you want to use the, the partners we have enough them for, for the rest you know, to try to bring the government go for the attractive course of all kinds of the some fiction folders destroyed public property on this side of things or what are you yeah, cuz ations of western and g o's, fomenting on the ration riling the mass, is but it's nothing new i why do you think georgia, which is part of the transparency low to stop and g o. some coming in essentially trying to create a regime change because that's what they being used for these days. which what you

question more, because all the international the, it's just the, what is it, the government, the lives they own, but gosh, what the portal was their deliveries of my that no, that should still go to team go. we just want talk one years old. the the .
