the, the, the in the southern caucus, this opposition protest grip of how the, despite the countries president pledging to resign and hold elections. proud refusing to vacate government buildings parties fixed exclusively to the opposition leader. what is being offered behind such a screen to attract investments is actually nothing more than a kind of new superstructure overall, this, this setup is aimed at ensuring that individual, all the guards receive additional super benefits with a lot mazda set to be donald tons, new adviser, the tech billionaire is already marketing vladimir zelinski. his claims that he have is totally independent from the west. us president elect, donald trump announces more members of this future team. one of them is totally

gabbert. a previous rising star of the democratic party. who like choose, is it more monitoring that our democratic party unfortunately, is not the party that is of high and for the people that have is a party that has been, continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington by the military industrial complex and other greedy corporate interest the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching archie international. we're covering the top news stories around the world and the weeks done by a stand off between the sitting and government in a positive and opposition leaders. the black sea coast republic is reeling from 2 days of unrest with protesters occupying the parliament and the official buildings . president armstrong rezani, i will only meet demands to resign over

a proposed investment deal with russia and hold snap elections. if protesters leave our correspondence, it goes down our reports from the capital city soon of the building, which is right behind me. this is the parliament in the capital of the home and the republic of applause. you protest is all gathered ham. they're prepared to spend the night, they aren't going anywhere anytime soon over here you can see that they've brought barrows. they are burning wood. there's uh, there's more over that just to just to keep people know what this whole thing is about. it is about the investment agreement in russia, it's the initiative over the incumbent government that would essentially allow if it is passed into and made into little that would allow for and is to purchase land here in of cause. yes, but people here, the protest as the opposition, they are saying that this would open the door for only gods to move in. and just and just the buyout tool, the sweetest spots, opposition,

leaders inside this problem and building your has uh for us several points. basically he has v monthly denied any claims that uh, that anyone that the media some of the media has made that this is an antique russian protest. according to him, it is definitely not now uh at the same time things um, well they're in a bit of a stalemate because the incumbent president, he essentially is of the deal to uh, to the opposition. his said leave, vacate this building, the parliament and uh, any uh, any other buildings that they uh, that they got there on hold. and they have said to do that and essentially uh, he will step down and uh, they will hold the public will hold snap elections. there is a lot of pressure on members of parliament to making a legal decision about the resignation of the president. firstly, such a decision will not happen. and secondly, if it does happen,

it will not be followed through. i don't want people to think that i am holding on to power, but rather that we need to find a constitutional way forward. if we don't comply with the constitution, our country will not survive as those who have taken control. those who attempted a cuckoo must vacate the buildings. after that, i will be ready to call in election and resign. the vice president will run the country and i will run in the election. these people here. they're saying, no, we're on taking your word for it fast, you resign, and then we, we will vacate the, the, this building and that's, that's how things will end the president into. and that has repeatedly accused the opposition of being influenced from a broad yet at the same time, admitting though, that quote unquote, obtaining material evidence of that is incredibly difficult. yet he said that he hopes that people are wise enough to see. that's what i understand, the position on the incumbent government said on talking directly to each other,

the public chamber of a positive that has taken the on itself. the role of the media is, in fact, just a couple of hours ago, that delegation has left this building off to talking to the leaders of the opposition and they brought the message to the president they took to the president as well. right now. there is no solution, they haven't agreed on anything, but according to the representatives of the public chamber, well, these tools and these contacts, they will continue the web in the coming days. so it seems that right now, both the opposition of the government, they are ready to make this 1st move to insight, more violence. and it seems, at least to me right now, that they are ready to find some common ground through tools and within the legal framework. and this is actually something that the russian for an ministry has cooled on decides to. russia is closely following the events in friendly calls here,

which have once again led to internal political tensions. unfortunately, opposition forces have not been able to resolve the differences with the country is legitimate to socrates through a civil is the mutually respectful dialogue and have resulted to actions outside the legal framework, escalating the conflict. this has led to a crisis in the republic and regardless of the outcome hinders of causally as development, the russian side expects that the current situation in up cause the will be resolved peacefully and through political means without interference in the countries internal processes. things here were quite hectic here on friday as people they were dismantling defense around this building right now. it is all very peaceful and very civil people are just while they're just mingling, they're sharing their opinions, they're discussing as to why they don't like this uh, agreement propose this investment agreements proposed by the government and again

they, they, they all being very peaceful. there's no police presence here whatsoever. so again, you can, you can have a look for yourself what the atmosphere here is like the opposition. they're saying that they're on the, on going anywhere. they are meeting the government off the way. they demand that the president and being tied governments step down and the on leaving until they get what they want into the president, the government, they are they, are they all saying they aren't leaving until the opposition does so again, it seems like an absolute style made so in the coming days, hopefully with the the efforts of the public chamber of a pause you things will move closer to these people who alternately want to that's a for the nation to find common ground and results. this prizes, speaking exclusively to archie and of has position liter opposition later, is clicked to point out. the protest are aimed at specific local officials,

not against russia done as it was, but it was. but assuming this situation was provoked by the illegal actions of the previous government. so we often hear in the russian media that those gathered here are against russian investments. this is completely fundamentally and true. i would like to inform you that we already have an agreement between the russian federation and the republic above the cause, the on the protection and promotion of mutual investments from 2009 more over. we have domestic legislation, the lawn investment activities from 2014, which provides for benefits, tax holidays, guarantees and so on. it's a whole list of preferences. that is, it all exists. what is being offered behind such a screen to attract investments is actually nothing more than a kind of new superstructure overall this and as we are all convinced, this setup is aimed at ensuring that individual, all the guards, as we call them here, receive additional super benefits will go we can,

you can in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government, which is, and at the same time, the cost state the up because people will receive practically nothing. this is, that's what caused the whole protest. it should develop dynamically only forward the we have a very serious contractual basis, and that's not even what i'd like to say right now. we have a common past. and today we have very close cultural social and economic ties. and russia is our main ally. and we are only focusing on russia in this sense, so therefore, we will develop the closest relations with russia. by the way, some media outlets are trying to introduce a narrative that there are some anti russian forces enough because the i want to draw your attention to the fact that this narrative and such a formulation, a combination of words appeared in our practice in the information space just with the appointment of the incumbent president before his appointments. such conversations on this topic did not exist in our relationship at all. and this is

such a kind of political manipulation as it seems to the authors that using this narrative, they are trying to fight their political opponents and european studies experts devonne diets confirms there is little indication, anti russian sentiments are driving the policy and protests. well, i think it would be a really look premature to say that these are anti russian protests because we have seen the protesters coming with the russian flags. what it seems to be the biggest concern is basically the fear of a hobby else uh from uh, the only only gar overtake, but maybe they are afraid of. uh, georgians, rich drawers is with russian citizenship buying lines. you know, products here. so this is we have to remember a call, this is and the holidays there is very sensible. so when we see the warming of nations between multiple of silsbee uh, this of course makes

a how's the how's that professionally saw. busy the settings a bit, motion about the possible consequence. and the underlining i would say uh, the underlying issue here is of course the default movies are appear as a foreign powers of nature. overnight it's a police vehicle and a symbol is attached to an improvised explosive devices and the molotov cocktails. the had happened when law enforcement reported they called to break up and, and sanctioned the gathering people. wearing masks and black flows responded by attacking the police before escaping the scene, no casualties have been reported so far. an investigation has been opened will bring you more details as they come in. and in central rush, the local authorities have reported an unmanned aerial vehicle falling over an

industrial workshop in the city of asia is ask, one man was injured in the attack, but the facility itself was suffered negligible damage. the announcement was made on the local governors telegram channel after social media users shared videos of a flash caused by the impact emergency services were sent to the same one now to the us where the president liked his already sending shock waves through washington. president trump, this person that likes trump's recent controversial cabinet nomination, c tech billionaire eli must leading the new department of government efficiency. the future presidential advisor is already poking fine up lot of resilience. these recent claim that ukraine doesn't take orders from abroad. when there's a, there's no okay, i mean we are independent ukraine, so i think that you were in the swell all people and i personally negotiations with the united states of america with trump and bite. and you are the latest you would

approve of the rhetoric of sit down and listen, does not work with us. and this is not because we, i like that because of this, how we should treat any country, any people that can lead it with respect to this, the she quality is one of the values of the west side. and for today, when we need most of the sprints, jo altman, host of the conservative daily podcast, says cubes actions prove there are strings attached to, to washington's funding. i think it's absolutely absurd. this is started as a proxy war anyway for the united states and $270000000000.00 later. if they were independent making their own decisions then why in the world did they step away only because. busy washington stated that you need to step away from the table. you have warhawks and washington on the democrats side. and now the truck is coming in and he wants to posture. and frankly, i don't think he's in a position to posture for anything. and i believe what, what he loved must said is that he's got quite this sense of humor, referring to the fact that is a once he is a previous comic that turned into

a politician around the country. so i don't think anybody takes the wednesday seriously. i frankly, i don't believe that the united states will have any tolerance towards them not coming to the table. and i look forward to seeing the united states take a different posture in this, in this nonsense, and try to get to the place where people can stop dying. and the surprises keep coming. as donald trump rolls out, the short list for his new administration, one of the choices is to seek alberta, a former democrat, to quit the party or choosing it of war mongering. she is tapped to serve as the director of national intelligence tool. so it was a rare voice speaking out against the issues with in the us government. there's a representative landsman from ohio who said, quote, why are we being asked to ban american officials from trying to stop propaganda from foreign adversaries? like put wire some proposing we leave syria, which put in wants. why is the call to a band and ukraine continuing to emerge from some members?

he goes on to say, remember, and i'm quoting him. remember, hitler did this. he used americans to spread his propaganda and it cost millions their lives put in is doing the same thing. so to be clear, this congressman from ohio feels that americans who dare to say, hey, we need to stop writing blank checks to fund this proxy. war against russia via ukraine must be silenced. he feels that anyone who says, hey, we need to bring our troops home from syria, our russian propagandist, and must be silenced. this is dangerous because this is coming from people who are in great positions of power to actually act on this nonsense. a gap out that has over and over,

i said that she believes russia had legitimate concerns when it came to ukraine. and despite that, she was sense it in the price she was told to shut up by her policy and others. and that's something that's become really important to her, and she's a former democrat, she's not just any phone with them. is that she was actually voice chest of the democratic natural policies that was housed in school. she was within the democratic policy. she even runs to be president in 2020 over same losing out and eventually like at the end to jo fight and but she has long had problems within the policy problems that she has for those repeated, she said that they needed to get rid of the rocks within the democratic policy that says, paperless and back in 2020. when she was going to be that presidential candidate, what you have to say about the problems within her own policy. you have criticized

hillary clinton as the quote personification of the rights that has stick in the democratic party. what is the right you see in the democratic party that our democratic party unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people? is it a part of it is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington represented by hillary clinton and others foreign policy by the military industrial complex and other greedy corporate interests. sen, harris. any response? oh, sure. um i, i think that um, it's unfortunate that we have someone on the stage who is attempting to be the democratic nominee for president of the united states who during the obama administration, spent 4 years full time on fox news criticizing. president obama. this is the 1st time she'd criticized her and policy actually when

a ball no was in the office. she was hugely critical of his policy when it came to syria, actually criticizing his administration for the money. it was given to the so called syrian rebels, rebels who later ended up selling will becoming terrorist group, such as, i'll call you to an ice as and she said at the time that it was the, the decisions by the administration. that's cool. so much have a in the world over the past 2 decades. that's just take a listen to what she said in regards to that specific issue. why is it such a difficult position to take and say that we said stop army stream is stream service. it's really not a difficult position, nor should it be. i think every american would be a surprise to know that for years our government has been providing both direct and indirect support. to these are militant groups who are working directly with or, or even under the command of terrorist groups like all tie dyed nicest all in their

or their effort and sites over throw the syrian government. well, e glide fuse may have smoked in the fact that that was an odd scene in like the she gave an interview to us. those who exclusive comments to aussie at the time. but i think it gives you a sense of who this individual is. she somebody who is happy to speak her mind as a result, that she has been criticized massively within their own policy. and here she is, a former democrats now going to be the national director of us intelligence ahead of what 18 agencies with some $17000000000.00 at her disposal. this is a massive appointment, and she will be back shaping the donald trump foreign policy playbook. no, to speak your mind as she knows a thing or 2. i mean, she has a slammed so many things that the bite and administration has been doing over the last b is what to start off with in bio labs, biologics, awesome thing. russia is accused ukraine of having for a very long time and saying that the us funded them. that was the night over and

over then back in 2022. victoria new lynn 2 at the time was the and the secretary of state kind of notes that the us was involved in some biologics in ukraine got bought pump stone. this was like say you go with what she was telling the truth. yes, there were these by lapse in ukraine by lives that the us is funding. she was a time everybody was like, you are lying your russian students that system to comments on the bio lapse. here are the undeniable facts. there are 25 to 30 us funded bio labs in ukraine instead of trying to cover this up. the biden harris administration needs to work with russia, ukraine, nato, the u. n. to immediately implemented cease fire for all military action. the vicinity of these labs until they are secured, and these pathogens are destroyed. so completely verified in the price, but then just a few months, like the pentagon had to come clean and say, yes,

actually, it was the $20.00 old that she mentioned. it was actually $46.00 point lab, so the us was the funny thing. so i mean, she was under playing it, but according to the democrats, she's a russian stage deposit. the fact that over and over she's been proved correct. and i just want to add 25 brief points here. she has window for know for the bite and administration is both the will of closer to a nuclear war than ever before. we now have reports in the last 24 hours that show that ukraine is considering building a new clip home, despite the fact that it's a signet change. the new c a nonproliferation treaty. and as a result of her not being pointed, she has been put on the ukrainian desks less the more or tolbert smith in the last few hours. i think that gives you a sense of what she is thinking and essentially proofing its puns at the idea of somebody who's coming in, who's willing to listen to a russian point of view. the other trump nominees include matt gates for the posts of us. attorney general trump has turned into media figures as well. choosing

veteran and fox news anchor, pete had access for his secretary of defense, who has a lot to say when it comes to the conflict between russia and ukraine. the friends who would probably agree with us on those things are like, well, if you don't stop them and you pray and then you kind of go over and apologize, i don't, i don't think she's, i mean, maybe in a perfect world where he had a military facilities and get him from himself, king of europe, he would, i think he probably knows enough to know that it's probably not going much for the new. great and the case of ukraine who wants more and what he's talking about, if he wants to ward. and now as a business man, he's not going to tell you about his negotiating tactic to bring it to a close. but i don't understand why we would not want to war like that to end you. we do not stop them. no, we must do it. the

i was so furious but not surprised when i saw the bloomberg news report that the biden administration is now considering draining $200000000.00 out of the army reserves to send more money into frames. i can't even believe this is a controversial view to take on this floor, but i believe that the us army reserves should actually be for the us army. our take contributor and former senate aid to jo by the entire read expressed cautious hope for some figures expected to take up the lead roles in washington's incoming administration. a toasting job or do you know i've met her rage against the war machine when we spoke out against the ukraine comfort? this is in washington dc. a couple of years ago. chelsea was there. i had an opportunity to speak to her and she is very committed to ending on for and more

she's been in the us military. she has talked about the ways and the mismanagement and, and the need for the she talked about the horrible things that happened with that scott, us down in iraq. she's a good person and she's going to be in a good position. she's also advising, you have mac a, it's she was going to be attorney general who's going to be, um, he's gonna be going after the d o j and f b i. there's going to be some n c i a. so there's going to be some big turn over there. you have you on, must you on must, who's going to be cleaning house. and what they're going to be doing is going after the bureaucrats, the beer cat crash are usually have been the ones behind a lot of the talk is war mongering because they benefit from it financially. that's all about the change. if, if this happens, every bit of the election needs to be certified, january 2020th is winning and all grace. and as you need to get to january 20th and we need to get these people confirmed. now i think they have the votes to confirm. many of these nat gates is more controversial, even with the matters,

but i think you have enough support for him to get through. the durbin goes from, has it turned off the to, to austria, and halted. it's gas supplies as of saturday. that announcement comes from o m v. the alpine countries biggest energy provider, which is partially state owned wherever the russian guest try and hasn't confirmed to the move and responding to fears of an energy crisis this winter. the austrian chancellor says people have nothing to worry about mister gavin dominant. ladies and gentlemen, i can inform you that we have been preparing exactly for this adventure to ality. always under the condition that the republic of austria can be blackmailed, that you as austria and consumers can to be blackmailed. that means i can promise you, no one in austria will freeze because of a lack of gas. and no home in austria will be cold. here's some background to the o. m b announced it was seeking to recover a $242000000.00 arbitration debt from gas from russia had

a temporarily suspended gas applies to germany in 2022, which were also delivered to austria. legal claims followed and the international chamber of commerce came down with the settlement last week. however, in may of this year, a russian part concluded that guy's problem could not be affected by decisions made in foreign at jurisdictions. meanwhile, austria's neighbor, the czech republic, is making a you turn on energy policy. prog announced it was nearly 100 percent free of russian gas dependents last year. but with prices of alternative energy sources on the rise, it's reported to be quietly ramping up in ports of russian fuel by at slovakia with temperatures dropping and as promised potential suspensions, european gas prices have risen by nearly a 3rd since the summer. think levels climbed to more than 45 year old per megawatt hour on thursday. earlier we spoke with global policy research here george samuel a who says you politicians have only themselves to blame for the crisis. it will

always have to keep in mind that this is entirely a self inflicted move on the part of the european nations of the you. if that happened to impose these sanctions on russia. if they hadn't destroyed the north stream, a gas pipeline, as i mean, none of these crisis would have happened. that immediate circumstances was this arbitration award of the international chamber of commerce. there was rule against the russians, possibly a declared that, um, well, we're not, we're not gonna pay anything to a gas from until we get enough gas to compensate this for the 230000000 euros. and the cost of the russians they would have been paying and you don't getting the gas well now to northern israel, for the city of high for has come under fears shelling with some missiles,

making it past the country's infamous iron dome. hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack, same the garage, targeted military size, including a naval base. 2 shells reportedly landed in the courtyard of his really prime minister netanyahu his residence. adf has denounced the attack and accused the group of deliberately destroying a jewish synagogue of parts. a few people were mildly hurt. however, there's been no official statements on casualties. but this is a is a pacific economic cooperation summit has wrapped up in peru the 21 member form chose to focus on the groups regional issues, keeping global crises like for ukraine conflict on the gaza at arm's length. but russia says there were some attempts to politicize the events. the outgoing us of president joe biden was also there, but certainly took his suite time by them arrived 2 hours late for the senate,

while his seat was kept warm by another american official bite. and then made all the other leaders wait for him to join the traditional family photo session. he ended up standing at the end of the back row, r t correspondence, a guard car shank, old products, more details from the gathering in the peruvian capital. most of our legacy to both apec had a very productive year in 2024 with more than 270 meetings at various levels. much was also set about the challenges facing a pack. it was these that the president of peru spoke about in her opening remarks on the land. mostly this year we continue to face the challenges arising from the pandemic crisis and other unforeseen obstacles. we have found considerable opportunities for innovation and collaboration. today we come together in a spirit of collaboration and unity guided by our shared vision to foster a resilient, inclusive and sustainable future for the asia pacific region. i don't lose that,

don't doing much attention was paid during the summer to the issue of minimizing trade barriers and opening markets. at the same time, the united states, a member of the association, imposes unilateral sanctions in an arbitrary manner. how can this contradiction be explained? we put this question to russia's deputy foreign minister, gonna inquire something more, but if you are, it is sure. of course it is a direct contradiction. how can we return to the question of how can we talk about a free market in a free trading system? when there are obstacles everywhere, of course we should encourage our colleagues to reconsider these approaches. what we do ourselves is we bypass them. but circumventing is one thing, not another. the other thing would be to lift them altogether because they make the whole world suffer by creating obstacles for food and energy supplies. that was 3 days of intense negotiations have come to an end. the summit is wrapping up and the rotating apec.
