rose by 12 percent in california. the founder of the global, a popular telegraph math is reportedly detained in france. in the last interview, before his arrest and problems were oper failed us, security agencies were pressuring him to violate the privacy of the platforms and users. we got too much attention from the at the i, the security agencies, wherever we came to the rest of the times. i think the attack is coming neither from the european union nor from france. it's most likely an attack from the united states comm, older officer, former press. secretary says washington has long been after telegrams, founder and might be behind his arrest. stay tuned for his explicit commented to r t plus t as steals office,

trying used by ethic romanian followers of the ukrainian orthodox church that's been banned by the zalinski government. the live in moscow on rachel ruble. you're watching r t international cracked down on free speech just one of the reactions to the news that russian tech tycoon pablo drew off has been arrested in france. the telegram c e o is allegedly accused of not giving security services access to private information on the social media platform. drop as were part of my being investigated for complicity and drug trafficking, fraud and crimes against children. telegram has published a statement, slamming the case against its founder. a telegram abides by you. laws including the digital services act is motor ration is with an industry standards and constantly improving telegrams c panel do roof has nothing to hide

and travels frequently in europe. it is absurd to claim that the platform or it's something that are responsible for the use of that platform. almost a 1000000000 uses globally use telegram as means of communication and it's a source of vital information. we're waiting a prompt resolution of this situation. telegram is with you all. earlier ortiz charlotte davinsky took my colleague unit o'neil through the details of powerful drugs arrest. this is a reports from french tv stations to say that they've got sol says close to the investigation he's playing with. having to explain arrived in paris on saturday evening, and he had just switched the towel not getting off the plane, but apparently he was detained by the french, all star t's now according to one source close to the investigation. the reason they show that i had released this warrant for him and arrest him on french. so it is because telecom is seen as being the go to go to ask for

a criminal activities organized crime at full the last few years. now you mentioned that some of the crime is that he could be facing charges over they say, is money laundering for to this is a drug trafficking crimes against children. these are incredibly serious crimes. it's expected that he's going to go before a judge on sunday in front and is unlikely to be released from pre trial detention because of obviously the fact who he is, the pharmacy has his ability to leave the country and perhaps avoid justice. they are expecting that he will be reminded in custody until any trial, and that could be many, many months away. the suggestion, if he's found guilty, he could spend up to 20 years in prison. now, the russian embassy in paris has said that it is looking for clarity on the situation. do, of course, is

a russian citizen. he also has joined nationality and he's a french citizen too. we're dealing with the situation. charlotte, that then it's happening in front of the country, which shap promotes itself as a beacon of democracy in a, in a dark world. all that kind of thing. freedom of speech is par online yet. he's being treated in such a high profile way as, as a criminal, like directly as if he's accused of doing nice things himself. but he's not. yeah, let's be clear that he's not being accused of actually carrying out any of these activities. the basis of this warrant is that because telecom missing is don't motor rating enough of it's not don't providing information to governments in the west that he's essentially complicit in these crimes simply for being the owner and co founder of telecom. it's pretty incredible situation now. we know that he's been coming on that massive pressure from western governments to share

information, tyler golf, which is one of the most popular movie downloaded apps in the world to close to a 1000000000 uses slides. so in this idea that is gonna end to end encryption that it's safe to send messages on, and telecoms website says it does not pass information to governments. all of these the big take points when people are using to look at the app. so he's talked about the pressure he's been coming on the recently he sat down with us host talk a calls and, and talk specifically about what the us authorities have been doing and how they've been 20 sway to, to pass on information. let's just have to listen to the said in that interview, we got too much attention from the, the, at the i, the security agencies, wherever we came to the us. i brought an engineer that is working for telegram and there was an attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my back by cyber security officers officers. the events of january of the 6 we received

a letter from i believe clinic with many of the democratic side. and they requested that we would share all the data we had in relation to what they called this uprising letter. it seemed very serious and the letter said, you know, if your fail to comply with this request, he will be in violation with in the us constitution. that took a call soon reacted very quickly to the reports of papa through ups arrest, saying that he's being locked away in. susie asked a 3 by a member of nato, that this is the west that has locked him up because he's refusing to sense of the truth. i'm, i think that's really interesting. is that what we've got here is weston government putting out a warrant for this big tech mogul,

and essentially putting him behind boss before he's even been able to have his day in court. that there's been lots about the reaction as well in and coming from influential americans or consumed by the developments in this case from just arrested pablo during founder and ceo of the encrypted i'm sense, a telegram platform. the need to protect free speech has never be more urgent. pos, e. it's 2030 in europe, and you're being executed for liking a mean. it's telegram today, it will be ex tomorrow. free speech is under attack over the world. why are people's opinions and voice is such a threat courageously resolve differences freely in the public square? well, of course, we know the dog has actually worked with governments in the west to acquiesce to the demands. he acquiesced to the demands of the e. u to bind oxy folding telegram. if you have a i e, u base number,

you cannot get access to our new services via that app. and it's interesting that now he is in faults in the way he could find himself behind the box. but as possible drums rest makes waves on line. the number of people downloading the telegram app has skyrocketed. we had exclusive reaction from mr. derives former press secretary here in moscow. yes, i did. what was it was of course a complete shock. and yes ma'am. i got a call from my people when i was already asleep. may they called and asked why i was not online and said the door off was arrested. so it's a hard time for us now. the which we haven't experienced anything like this, even while working with possible, you're able to so it's a big mystery why he disregarded his own safety and decided to land in paris. and despite the fact that he didn't know most likely that there was a warrant out for his arrest. but nevertheless, that only suggest 2 things that come to mind frustrated either he did not know that

a warrant for his arrest was being prepared in law. or if we believe the french media or the warrant for his arrest was issued 5 minutes before his plane landed in the way either he knew about it, but didn't think it would be that serious difficulty. probably thought he was a little above friends of justice. in fact, him a telegram has tried to comply with the laws of the jurisdiction where it is present to him it to you. the telegram also complied with the requirements of sanctions legislation to block channels, including, by the way, the russian media outlets such as our teeth, they shall come. the reason is probably much deeper than that. i think the attack is coming neither from the european union, nor from france. it's most likely an attack from the united states congress, which has been after people do are off for a long time and door off as always talked about it. and he said, for example, in an interview with tucker carlson, so that he and his employees are under pressure, or at least i think there's some kind of surveillance conducted by the f b i to have them. i think the root causes, are there 3 of them,

so it doesn't make any sense to discuss the intentions of the french authorities who arrested him because they don't play any role here at all for me. yeah. yeah, the story that he has, i think that this arrest and this whole situation means only the best for telegrams, reputation, methodist look right now, even this hasn't been out in the process yet. i've done a little bit of research on the monitors that are available when you to a telegram downloads have really skyrocketed by some metrics. it's already the number one downloaded app in the world, and that even though it's only been 24 hours, even less than 24 hours since the news broke out to me as soon as he was arrested. for example, prominent figures such as for example, the loan musk and others spoke out a key and the hash tag free door of pablo door. oscar reached the top of twitter trans, even though it speaks to his exploding popularity, which naturally converts to product of popularity. the daughter of, well, i mean, we're probably talking about telegram approaching a 1000000000 users in

a general sense. you're, i think that in the next couple of days we will see that we will overcome this barrier of 1000000000 users. this is, of course, the most famous dry sand effect among marketers. it will affect the popularity of telegram, it'd be how well this popularity be used by telegram itself further to me or for example, by the authorities motion we do not know yet. but naturally we can now say unambiguously that for telegrams popularity. there is no better story than its founders arrest. meanwhile, in moscow, locals have been protesting outside the french embassy scores of paper airplanes, symbolizing the telegram logo have been left embedded in bushes surrounding the building. telegram is one of the most popular social media platforms in russia and just on the hills of pablo during the rest. another prominent tech entrepreneur has bid farewell to europe. the founder of the video platform, rumble crisp of love's sky promises to fight for free speech. and i'm

a little late to this, but for good reason, i'm just safer, departed from europe. front has threatened to rumble, and now they have crossed a red line virus and telegram sealed bible doodle reportedly, for not sense when speech rumble will not stand for these behavior. and will use every legal means available to fight for freedom of expression as universal human rights. but the russian embassy in france has stated it is in touch with paul durham, his lawyer. but the european country has avoided any contact with moscow in an exclusive conversation with our tea, russian foreign ministry spokesman, maria's harvest dress. paris is committing the very same offence at once. accused must go off the streets, not some good in 2018 steps were indeed taken in our country and to put in, in order to in particular, in accordance with the russian, most the work of mass media, social platforms and so on. this was the. 1 on the other things by court decision,

it calls such a flurry, not of and criticism, but hey, tread. i posted a screenshot of 26 west and in g o 0 in the ultra liberal bias. the back then saw in the collective latter against the country either among them. for example, i missed the international, committed to protect drum listen to human rights house foundation, human rights watch and so on. now the big question, let me put in where of the old with the, where the collaborative lots has. yeah, there is no doubt that this news has spread all over the world where he's old there a criticism more ways older a consent was the good i. where are all these statements about human rights about freedom? maybe? where is the protection of these values to which they only talked about and insisted on. so stop them li matches where's their reactive position is if there is nothing for russia has always said that the basis of this decision should be laws, rules and compliance with the legislation. all the actions that for relate to to

tell of drumming 20172018 nations. they had the logical explanation with the legislative framework and then attempt to find a way out of the situation. but the whole world came down to mass them. but take a look at today. it turns out that all these who criticized and by the way, the l as a palace, criticizes rushes and motors, you saying that forgot about the freedom of speech. and that is left to human rights components across the now take a look at what it is, the l as a palace. it is parish that is at the for from to be offensive against human rights and freedom of speech. but in this case, we act in accordance with outlaws speech without the trundle documents, without guidelines, but for in this case, from europe as a citizen of all countries. and this is the 1st thing they rely upon to an in this case, when it comes to having their citizenship built and ignore the requirements of all

the states that appealed to their citizenship. when a person has it, because we will do every thing, and evan, in spite of the circumstances, demanded access some documents. this is a citizen of all country. in any case, in any situation, whoever he is, we will defend his rights. by discussing possible drugs arrest with alternative for germany, party member and lawyer going our back. he says, the case highlights some oppressive policies pursued by the u. i see this is a particular the worrying example a why? yeah, a general change and the change is in the direction of sense of shape and to be a restrictions on freedom of speech. durham from florida, lake concise up to 20 years in prison on the charge is related to a alleged criminal activity that on his telegram absolutely. explain this to us.

how can he beheld personally responsible for what others do on the platform that he created? well, it's a simple question of law, is it all make us and he is the whole european union legislating for, for this matter the states pauses or no. uh, there's holes service providers responsible for failing to recognize all sense uh, the call tags on that platform. then that can be done because it's a major restriction over basic democratic rights named the freedom of speech. but you know, no, no, this is simply the application of the rules that has to be made out of was being made in the way increasing the restrictive. and we could say, oh, pressing the kid of is stepping up. is that correct?

down on fall or as a be a training on orthodox church that was recently bad. and then the country authorities have now sealed off a shrine, used by ethnic romanians in western ukraine. local church officials have slammed the move. are you creating us or it is ben? besides, to remain in speaking parish in ukraine and now romanians at preventing death over this from building the sole cold, spiritual freedom, they tell all the locks and sealed the shrine of the club and the metropolitans in the cemetery. up turn of sea city, we'll see how the key of authorities deliberately restricting the rights and disadvantage. in the romanian speaking, my no routine ukraine 1st vessel resist refused to register the carrier for the remaining orthodox church. now the head start at the sewer, romanian, speaking parishes. what next, the persian is will most likely appeal to the romanian president. first of all, the ukrainian orthodox church on the canonical or from the orthodox church is that was the largest faith based organization in the country. well, if not one of the largest, it's probably the most dominant one according to

a $0.21, as i believe there are more than $20000000.00 ukranian orthodox such church show worshippers. and of course this stage began playing a very dangerous game of religious divisions. the since the 2019, if that's the year of the creation of a schismatic orthodox church of ukraine instead of the ukrainian orthodox church. now the latter, the, the 1st one was created and is supported by the government and it's supposed to be less than the legit influence of most coal over ukrainian church goers and believers. now what followed after that and before that as well actually could easily be described as the religious persecution in the country of ukraine. now since the establishment of the news gives matic, a church of government reigns on the ukrainian north of church became a regular as well as against the clerics and regular church goers. i mean,

it became violent as well as people were being kicked out of monasteries and the churches now a for it's east of ukraine, of following the decision. and then you come creation of the new church. they even receive property from the traditional church and gave it to the new one that the government had established. now all this, of course, the culminates ends with the crating parliament passing a law on on tuesday that would allow to ban ukraine and orthodox church. the canonical one altogether. and now what we see from the latest news is that the persecution is not against only against our russian speakers, but against other minorities in ukraine as well, in this case, against the remaining and one. now this law, the latest law that would ban ukraine and orthodox church, was so noticed by, well, many people around the world, including the head of the catholic church,

up old francis. and this is his reaction to t of law. continual, i say we continue to follow with sorrow, the fighting in ukraine and the russian federation, and thinking about the recently adopted norms of law and ukraine. i have a fear for the freedom of those who pray. please do not have bol ish. any christian church directly or indirectly churches shouldn't be touched. the patriarchal, the russian orthodox church curial. now he's described a key of the late as bad as nothing less of a correct down on religion. and he is also called on the leaders of other religious organizations around the world. and both frances, on the head of the anglican church and the k, another permanent religious leaders to voice their supports for the creating orthodox church for the sake of this. and having failed to weaken the canonical church in ukraine, having failed to shake its unity. therefore it has decided to band completely as

a result of the adoption of the current law. hundreds of monasteries thousands of communities. millions of austin dogs, believers in ukraine, will find themselves outside the legal field will lose their property in place of prayer. of course not everyone in the, in, in parliament's or within the ukrainian society has been supporting this new law that would potentially introduce a band and the ukranian orthodox church. now, one of the ukrainian parliament, the deputies actually has a criminal case launched against him when he voiced his dis, concern about the ban of the ukrainian or from ex church. take a look in your corner and was able to do that. ukrainian parliament has made a fatal mistake by voting in favor of banning the ukrainian orthodox church. and this mistake without any doubts, will cause tragic consequences for the entire ukrainian people. no loss can prevent us from praying visiting temples, defending our faith. there are no obstacles to this, just as there were none for the lord. meanwhile, and millions of ukrainians continued to associate themselves with the ukrainian

orthodox church that could be banned any moment now because there is a law people ready to pray in hiding to do their religious services in hiding. meanwhile, thousands of ukraine, our folks to the worshippers have come out for their traditional yearly gatherings in support of their things and their religion and their this is happening all over the country and in various circumstances as well. moscow says its forces have repelled several fresh ukrainian attacks on residential areas in russia's 1st region. meanwhile, blood residents gas coughed up a new explanation of his costly 3 week invasion of the border zone. alice, the most victorious corporation, is part of a major ministry political, military, diplomatic efforts. everything we're doing is aimed on the it's making a rush to prepare for

a just be still full. the cranes forces have already lost plenty of man, power and western supplied equipment. and cursed camps. troops have also been pushed back further across on the battlefield and on bass, and was a little bit claims to seek peace. as military moves are actually shooting down the prospect of talks, as ortiz shape, but was explains ukraine costly cursed misadventure grinds to a halt, leaving thousands of dead and piles of scarce western vehicles destroyed. you might be asking, well, what's it all about? well, you wouldn't be alone because many in ukraine, i never washington or i've seen that very same question too. but hey, at least a month supposedly in charge knows what's going on. right. suppose because of some are claiming we're playing a card to initiate dialogue. what dialogue that some refers to put in, who asserted that ukraine's offensive in the course region is meant to strengthen its negotiating position. we're not manipulating anything here. we're transparent

with our partners, and i've clearly expressed our diplomatic intentions towards achieving adjust piece and ending this war. so that's all very clear. then you clean those one talks, but then again it kind of doors. remember, this is all coming from a mine that passed the law, literally outgoing negotiations with russia. maybe one of the senior advisers, me kind of put the yak, knows what's going on. she says, ukraine's assault on the cruise creation is indeed intended to pressure, rush it into negotiations on our terms. they have a war that is gradually moving deeper into russia. will this scale them? yes. did they react to anything else besides fear? no, it is finally time to realize this. russia perceives any compromises weakness and readiness to me before it. and if you negotiate on rush them, they will still consider that they dominate, including the end of negotiation process. they can be pushed only they understand

that the war is not going according to their script. but it gets better while even zalinski and a senior advisor seem to disagree on the ground. ukrainian military commanders also clueless about why they were dispatched across the russian border. ukrainian officer dmitri gushing gold speculated a key as a tardies launch this operation to the vert, attention from serious domestic issues like the economy, the energy crisis. and of course, the challenging conditions on the front lines have been withdrawn with a model of which i think that the decision to attack course could have been made in the following way. the decision makers were sitting around the table. what's the situation now? let's see, things are kind of bad on the front, almost everywhere. the mood of the population and the economy are also in a deplorable state. things are also bad and the energy sector relations with partners are not good right now. either. everyone has complaints. we have a lot of corruption,

they don't give us money. and the worst problem is that the number of likes is low . that is a complete failure in likes. what can we do? we have to think of something. there were 3, the terrifying options slide, a mars, dropping the atomic bomb or attack course. well, attacking course gives the most realistic option because someone can move with it and put the well, the shingle probably gets closer to the truth. the people paint as wages in washington seemed just as confused as everyone else when it comes to the curse comedy with lots of confusing signals coming from proxy war h q. when it comes to cursed. uh, we have an understanding from what president zalinski laid out that they want to create a buffer zone. we are still working on with the ukraine on how that fits into their strategic objectives on the battlefield itself. when we feel confident on that, we have a better understanding of how that all knits together. and you know, i'm happy to read out more, but right now we're still working and still have some questions and we're getting

that back. so it seems to be a tard back, it was a joy, p r, stunt gone wrong. and if were to believe the various reasons for a given by the ukrainian side, it's also a dismal failure. deflect troops from dumbass. nope. the russians are still advancing. force the russians to negotiate. nope, the russians have no ruled out talking to key if reports the russians apart from the border. nope, the russians will probably take more ukrainian territory now. but at least there's one man who actually sees things for what they are. such actions, of course, pursue a military goal to stop the offensive of our troops to completely liberate the territory of the guns gun. don't ask republics as well as the territory of november . we'll see you. and what are the results? the pace of offensive operations by the russian armed forces has not decreased, but on the contrary, increased increased by one and a half times our forces. i'm moving forward along the entire line of contact. so when the dust settles, increased on rush, and that that will be drugs out,

the remnants of the ukrainian army, one thing will become absolutely clear. the cursed incursion won't be remembered as a great ukrainian victory, but as a foolhardy p or something that cost the lives of thousands of potentially spelt the beginning of the end for the landscape on his dictatorship in t f. one o 2 burkina faso, where locals have rallied against kim support for terrorist groups in africa, reflecting a wider sentiment across the whole region. for cannot be demonstrators accuse key of, of back the militants, for support from nato last month in assault by far and rebels. and molly killed thousands of local soldiers as well as russian military instructors. ukrainian officials said to have had provided intelligence for the attack. but later was back in statements. molly burkina faso in these or have asked you in security counsel to take measures against the crane support for terror groups in africa. and burke and

all of a civil society leader has urge the international community to hold care of accountable for its deadly meddling in this the whole region. so d d, i think it was important for molly, huge and became a fast side to directly and officially coal on the un on its responsibilities to ensure will peace and to ensure the states that have declared themselves as terrorist states or not, the state be purely and simply dealt with in the most formal way. it is no longer any bond guys. it is an important step that should have been taken by the heads of state. and that's why it was important for these 3 countries to notify the united nations security council. well, the supreme court, which is supposed to regulate relations and guaranteed peace between nations, and i think is also an active decision towards ukraine, which is self proclaimed itself as a terrorist state. the when must be able to individually question all the states that currently support ukraine, because ukraine has declared, i recognize itself to be it's every state,

any country continuing to support you. crate must baffled, also be declared a terrorist state on the same level as you create and right. just say with our to international i'll be back with more in about 30 minutes. you then the .
