the, the, the founder of the global, a popular telegram map is reportedly detained in france. in the last interview before his arrest. come with the rob revealed at us security agencies for pressuring him to violate the privacy of the platforms, users. we get too much attention from the at the i the security agencies wherever we came to the west coast. obviously, i think the attack is coming neither from the european union nor from france. it's most likely an attack from the united states holder on this former press secretary says washington has long then after telegrams, founder and a might be behind his arrest. stay tuned for his exclusive comments to r t plus he have seals,

office ry news by ethnic romanian. followers of the printing and orthodox church that's been banned by the zalinski governments. the live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. this is archie international. across, down on free speech, just one of the reactions to the news that russian tech type to involve older off has been arrested in france. the telegram ceo is allegedly accused of not giving security services access to private information on the social media platform. durham is reportedly been investigated for complicity and drug trafficking, fraud and crimes against children. telegram has published the statement of slamming the case against as founder. a telegram abides by you. laws including the digital services act is motivation 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 its own are responsible for the use of that

platform. almost a 1000000000 uses globally use telegram as means of communication and as a source of light of information. we're waiting a prompt resolution of a situation. telegram is with you all. earlier are to charlotte defense? kate took my colleague union o'neill through the details of pothole derives or rest . this is a report from french t v. stations to say that they've got sources close to the investigation. his plain pablo dogs playing 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 attorneys. 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 frank saw it is because telecom is seen as being go to go to a app for a criminal activities organized crime for 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 to tension. because of obviously the fact to use the funds, he has his ability to leave the country and perhaps avoid justice that they are expecting. but 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 this situation. do, of course, as a russian citizen, he also has joint nationality and he's a french citizen too. we're dealing with the situation, charlotte that is helping 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 part 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 these things himself. but he's not. yeah, let's be clear. he's not being accused of actually tiring of any of these activities. the basis of this warranty 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 and massive pressure from western governments to share information, tyler golf, which is one of the most popular movie downloaded apps in the world, are close to a 1000000000 uses at 5. so in this idea that is end to end encryption,

that it's safe to send messages on, and telegrams 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 trying to persuade him to pass on information that's just have to listen to what he said in the interview. we got too much attention from the, the at the i, the security agency is 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 me and back by cyber security officers officers. the events of january of the 6 uh, we received a letter from uh, i believe, uh, concord span 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, you will be in violation with in the us constitution. that took a call soon reacted very quickly to the report. solve possible through ups arrest saying that he's been 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. and i think that's really interesting. is that what we've got here is western government putting out a warrant for this big tech mogul, an essentially putting him behind boss before he's even been able to have his day in court. now there's been lots of other reaction as well in and coming from

influential americans or concerned by the developments in this case from just arrested pablo during founder and ceo of the encrypted uncensored telegram platform. the need to protect free speech has never be more urgent. d o v. 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 warner over the world. why are people's opinions and voice is such a threat? courageously resolved differences freely in the public square. will. of course we know the dog has actually worked with governments in the west to acquiesce to the demands he address to the demands of the e. u to bind off seeds, foaming 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 boss as powerful drugs rest makes waves on line. the number of people downloading the telegram app has skyrocketed. we got exclusive reaction from mr. drugs at farmers press secretary here in moscow. yes, could i get a role as it was? of course, a complete shock, and yes ma'am, i got a call from my people when i was already a sleep. may they called and asked why i was not online instead 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 pablo to go 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. 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

that 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 that to you the telegram also complied with the requirements of sanctions. legislation to block channels, including by the way, with the russian media outlets such as our teeth solution. cuz the reason is probably much deeper than that to get on 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 don't just which has been after people do are off for a long time and door off as always talked about it. he 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 and i think the root causes are there 3 of them. so it doesn't make any sense to discuss the intentions of differential 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 even though it's only been 24 hours or even less than 24 hours since the news broke out. does it mean as soon as he was arrested? for example, prominent figures such as, for example, the lawn must and others smoke 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, well, i mean, we're probably talking about telegram approaching a 1000000000 users in a general sense. you, 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 will this popularity be used by telegram itself further to meet 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. i'm a law in moscow. local as have been protesting outside the french embassies, 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 pavel derives arrest. another prominent tech entrepreneur bid for a while to europe, the founder of the video platform, rumble chris publicity promises to fight for free speech. i'm a little late to this, but for good reason, i'm just safer departed from europe. fronts has threatened to rumble,

and now they have crossed a red line by arisen telegram, sealed bible due to ruthlessly 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, a universal human rights, the russian embassy in france has stated it is in touch with possible drugs lawyer, but the european country has avoided any contact with moscow and an exclusive conversation with our tea russian foreign ministry spokesman marie has a heart of a stress to paris is committing the very same offence at once, accused of moscow off on the streets, not so 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 a work of mass media, social platforms. and so on, this was the. 1 the one of the things by a court decision, what it calls such a flurry, not even criticism, but hey, tread. i posted a screenshot of 26 west and in g o 0 in the old truly rural bias to back them saw

in the collective latch or against the whole country, even among them. for example, i miss the international, committed to protect drawing lessons to human rights house foundation, human rights watch and so on. now the big question was where all the old with the where the collaborative lots is. 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 going to be. but we're all these statements about human rights for about freedom. maybe. where is the protection of these values? which they only talked about and insisted on so stopping lee, not just where is the reactive position is 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 have the logical explanation with the legislative framework. go to you and then attempt to find

a way out of the situation. but the whole world came down to mass them. but take a look today. it turns out that all these who criticized and by the way, the l as a palace and criticize rushes and motors you saying that forgot about the freedom of speech. and that is left to human rights component clauses. now take a look for them, it is the allies a palace. it is paris that is at the forefront of the offensive against human rights and freedom of speech. but in this case, we act in accordance with outlaws speech without the trundle documents with all guidelines we have, but for in this case, from europe is a citizen of all countries. and this is the 1st thing they rely upon the problem. 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, evan, in spite of the circumstances demanded acts as some documents. this is

a citizen of all country, in any case, in any situation, whoever he is, we will defend his rights for former austria and foreign minister and a head of the gorky center. a think tank can, can i soul told us parents should. so closer to home, if it really wants to catch terrace and it's highly political, you know, the snow ration you got a crown so old that, but this is due to the faxed over that we, uh, we have less duration all times. i myself, have seen the bowls and fronds in germany and austria, and it's, it's not the anymore where you can argue in a ration of the go ways. what struck me most when i, when i spoiled what, what is possible is that they have time to have the attitude, the nurse to add to a person like me. i have a scrutiny or prism like probably a dual off. why did you have a friends? did a very high number of, of really,

of dangerous terrorist. so who are ready to, to commit any sort of offices of drew crime. and it's not just the civilized thing for european union and above. oh, you cannot charge the boss of such a company for anything that happens on this platform that has not been the case with mr. soccer book. our or that's never been the case was it added to a in chief of some media outlets. this is so this, so you're ration a, it's, it's, it's as a ratio as i was accused of witchcraft, you know, and espionage sent and all the other nonsense i had to face in australia. and she have a stepping up. it's cracked down on followers of the print in orthodox church that was recently banned in 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 this, or it is ben? besides, to remain in speaking parish in ukraine and now romanians by preventing death over this from building the sole cold, spiritual freedom, they tell all the locks and sealed the shrine of the book club, and metropolitans in the cemetery of june of sea city. we'll see how the key of authorities deliberately restricting the rights and disadvantage in the romanian, speaking minority in ukraine, 1st vessel, or just refused to register as a carrier for the remaining of 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 mountain and 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 a that's the year of the creation of a schismatic orthodox church of ukraine instead of ukrainian orthodox church. now the latter, the 1st one was created and supported by the government and its suppose to the left to the a legit influence of moscow 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 medicare church and government reigns on the ukrainian or coast church became a regular as well as against the clerics and regular church callers. i mean, it became of violence as well as people were being kicked out of monasteries and the church is now authorities of ukraine. uh, following the decision uh, on

a new credit 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. oh this, of course coleman agents, whether you crate in parliament passing a law on on tuesday that would allow to ban ukraine and orthodox church. the canonical one altogether. and uh uh 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 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 key of law continual 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 abolish any christian church, directly or indirectly. churches shouldn't be touched me, the patriarch of the russian orthodox church curiel. now he's described a key of the late as bad as nothing less of a crack in town on religion. and he is also called on the leaders of other religious organizations around the world of bo, frances, on the head of the anglican church, and the k. i know the permanent religious leaders to voice their supports for the cleaning orthodox church listing of this. and having failed to weaken the canonical church in ukraine, having failed to shake its unity. the storage 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 had a criminal case launched against him when he, a voice is disconcerting about the ban of the ukrainian or from ex church. take a look in your corner and was able to do that. ukrainian far limits 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 laws 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 the hiding to do their religious services in hiding.

meanwhile, thousands of ukrainian or 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 it's forces have repelled several fresh ukrainian attacks on residential areas in russia's 1st region. meanwhile, plumber zalinski has coughed up a new explanation of his costly 3 week invasion of the border zone. alice, the little most victorious corporation, is part of the major military political humidity, diplomatic assets. everything we are doing is aimed on the it's making a rush you prepare for it just be stuck in cranes. horses have already lost plenty of manpower and western supplies equipment and 1st gives troops of also been pushed back further across on the battlefield in don bass. and it was

a little se claims to seek peace as military moves or actually shooting down the prospect of talks as archie is. that shape bose explains as you crave. 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 are asking that very same question to what, hey, at least a month supposedly in charge knows what's going on. right. well 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 a just peace and ending this war. so that's all very clear. then you're clean those

one talks. but then again it kind of doors. remember, this is all coming from a mine that passed the law literally outlawing negotiations with russia. maybe one of the senior advisers, me kind of put the yak, knows what's going on. she says you claims assault on the curse. creation is indeed intended to pressure rush. it into negotiations on our terms. they, they have a war that is gradually moving deeper into russia. will the scale them? yes. did they react to anything else besides fear? no, it is. find the lead 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 the war is not going according to their script. but it gets better. well, even zalinski and a senior advisor seem to disagree on the ground. ukrainian military commanders also

clueless about why there were dispatchers across the russian border. ukrainian officer dmitri gushing gold speculated a key as a tardies launched this operation to the virt attention from serious domestic issues like the economy, the energy crisis. and of course, the challenging conditions on the front lines. you have them withdrawal with a modem, which is 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 in 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, a terrifying options. flight of mars dropping the atomic bomb or attack course.

well attacking course gives the most realistic option because someone can move on to the well, the shingle probably gets closer to the truth. the people paint as wages of washington seemed just as confused as everyone else when it comes to the curse. calamity 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 nits together. so 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 bach, eliza, john, p. r. stone 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,

don't boss. no. the russians are still advancing. forced the russians to negotiate . nope, don't russians have no ruled out talking to key f 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 these 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. going through net square publics, as well as the territory of november. we'll see. 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, and russia, 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 costs the lives of thousands of potentially spelt the beginning of the end for zalinski and his dictatorship, n t f. o, that's a look at the news for now, but as always, for the very latest, be sure to visit our website to r t dot com by the, to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real live indians fixtures design to simplify all confused. who really wants a better wills and is it just as a chosen for you. fractured images presented to this,

but can you see through their illusion going underground can as western leaders recklessly talked of escalating the conflict in ukraine, european voters has sent the exact opposite message, prove war, and meats are clearly out of step with voters. and they have been punished for the the line. scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer. and he served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del bailey. so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and gather the facts to take

back to the american people in the course of the hold on bass of the front lines. and this is where the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying.
