5:01 pm
news on the date is good to happy with. germany is heading for a new election. us off the chancellor earl actually lost the motion of confidence in parliament. he received 207 votes, mostly from his own policy and came fossils. if this 367 needed to stay in power, all these done on quota took me through the ramifications of the alons motley. a soap fell a whole 150 votes, short of winning this mode of no confidence, marketing the other collapse of his so called traffic light coalition, between the social democrats and a free democratic party. so what we're looking at right now is essentially the dissolution of parliament and upcoming new general elections that are already scheduled for february 23rd. the saw was engaged in quite the debate just before the know confidence vote. that was building an old. so it's getting on what is the politicians been saying? well, the whole of shelves during these debates came under attack by a number of left his parties,
5:02 pm
which accused him of colossal economic and foreign policy failure. for example, the sorrow wagner necked alliance accused to be now outgoing government of claiming that it's for peace, while at the same time taking part in an enormous weapons rearmament program. and this ties into wagner next criticisms of frederick murtz, who is widely expected to become the next german chancellor and is also a huge advocate for sending tourist cruise missiles to ukraine. they present themselves as chancellors of peace. and yet they support the largest rearmament program in the history of the alliance. you have fallen too often mister schultz, for us to trust that your word on taurus will still hold after the election. mr. merits has recently developed a memory gaps and can suddenly no longer remember his torres ultimatum. here in the bonus tag to chancellor candidates with memory loss. that's how well germany is armed. now let parties co chair also chimed in saying that the german chancellor
5:03 pm
bears full responsibility for a violent arms race with russia. and as for the right wing, the a if these party leadership is saying that the german people are going to have a lot of cleaning up to do after shots leaves office, especially because the country has become a potential nuclear target. as a result of all the age that berlin has been giving the key appreciate, what are you doing instead of sticking ties with washington and moscow, where the to use the piece, sly. the chancellor and friedrich merits go to kia, have to waste even more money than before, for administer bare bach fantasizes about deploying german troops to ukraine and risking escalation. well, mr. merits wants to risk world war 3, with the delivery of torres cruise missiles capable of reaching moscow to ukraine. this will turn germany into a direct party to the war and the target of an impending nuclear conflict. germany and europe should never be drawn into war again, some that suddenly strong opinions being voice that i'm so what comes next for our
5:04 pm
life shows, how much longer could he remain? shawn's level of his fate. well, in a speech that he gave right before this vote of no confidence, schultz blamed the free democratic party for torpedoing to coalition. and he said that he should be re elected again when february comes around on yet another green energy platform. he said that if he's re elected, he won't sands torres, cruise missiles do crane or send german soldiers there, but he's very determined to see germany remain the key ever seems. largest european donor wanted to start spots lots of bringing forward. the bonus tag collections is my go through it. the citizens will then be able to determine the political course of our country. that's what it's all about. therefore, i am raising the question of confidence for the voters. do we have trust in ourselves and our country? germany is the largest supporter of ukraine in europe. i want it to stay that way, but we won't endanger our own security. and that is why we are not supplying long range cruise missiles. and we are certainly not sending german soldiers into this
5:05 pm
war. not with me is chance or politics is not a game forming. a government requires moral maturity, weeks long sabotage of the freed democrat's own government has come to light. now. something like this damages the reputation of both the government and democracy as a whole. we owe our citizens decency and seriousness. germany's economy is growing too little in comparison to international standards. our bundeswehr is in a regrettable state. we more investments, we must stop denying this reality. so as you can see right there, schultz was clearly very confident right before this vote of no confidence. and since february is not that far away. so the german chancellor, it looks like it's going to need a miracle to really turn things around. the tons lives main arrival, christine done across a union leader friedrich months has responded by play me with government for all the nations troubles. and neither politician is guessing any support from the alternative for them. any party as well. that's all, it's a still love schultz. has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever
5:06 pm
had. germany is in the deepest, most severe economic, financial energy and migrant crisis. our parliament faction has just discussed this, even though there wasn't much to discuss. we won't support sholtes in the confidence vote, except for 3 persons worried free drift merits might become a war chancellor, showing that it was a big be a car from the inside. they have the, what the to go toward flush was to keep them out this out because of the situation or do a lot against the tribes and to take the risk to get the amounts as it makes the more trans up. that wasn't making a discussion. but i think because they have done the all right, some of our function has that was it for us was uh, i know most of them wanted to against drugs because the sides of government, in fact, the us government, they made to the top of them is the energy they made, the energy crisis is
5:07 pm
a guy. so they made the energy crisis with the electric power. they close a new cal plans if we had them drum and the price is going out for the people, the low people don't know how to sell life out to pay for electricity for food, for every things i need for the daily things. and so of course we have to stop the big sees the land from green politics and know, of course we have the problem with the so the elections and table visit to asian. ok. and that one. okay. you know, cause it's a good big problem and the 2 is applies. the 21 is it is a big problems is what and what's going on though, the lots of it appears in high school into the russia will lift the self imposed restrictions. if the us deploy is medium range missiles anywhere across the globe, the remarks came during an expanded meaning of the defense department board,
5:08 pm
where the russian latest stays at the west is pushing mosca beyond this red line. yes, this is sure. if the united states starts deploying intermediate arrangements, our systems are voluntary restrictions will be lifted. given the growing geopolitical attention when we are forced to take additional measures to ensure the security of russia and our allies. we are doing this carefully and in a balanced manner, without being drawn into a full scale arms race to the detriment of the social and economic development of our country. wondering if we have clarified the basic principles of the use of nuclear weapons, which are set out in the updated principles of states policy. what was on nuclear deterrence? basically, the russian president has said that the war here has reached its pivotal point and that nothing will help ukraine uh at this moment, basically according to latimer pollutants. he has expressed hope that the russian of forces will be able to keep the momentum to keep the pace of which they are liberating tax fees that they have gained over over the past year. that this will
5:09 pm
carry on onto 2025. according to latimer, pooty, even lowering the mobilization age to 14 years old, won't help ukraine. just a quick reminder right now, only males of 25 years of age and older can be, can be drafted, can be mobilized, basically giving a rather a broad, a g, a political look, a lot of my putting those said again, whatever the western nations do to help ukraine, it willing to help them, and it will only rather escalate the situation between russia and the collective west. a lot of who has expressed consent. and it said that essentially rushing treats this as can send the faxes over a 100000 american soldiers right now in europe. and he has said that while russia is not going to get on the minutes you bandwagon. and just uh, threatening uh was threatening to westwood, its nuclear capabilities. but still russia has to get ready and has to prepare for
5:10 pm
every single scenario that is on the table. so you would need is waiting for the keeps steps almost 2 days. the military and political situation in the world remains difficult and unstable. bloodshed in the middle east rages on high conflict potential persists in a number of other regions of the world. so we see that the cut into us administration and almost the entire collective west have not abandoned their attempts to maintain global dominance as they continue to impose their so called rules on the world community, which they change time after time twisting them. so as we see fit, rushes defense minister and right below is of also to qual, also appeared in the spotlight at that meeting. and he broke down the situation on the ground here, even in greater detail. arguably, the biggest revelation coming from the russian defense minister is at the scale of loss is basically the loss is that the ukranian army has suffered. let them go to this year, a russian troops liberated almost 4500 square kilometers,
5:11 pm
issue of territory occupied by the enemy. the enemies combat potential has been undermined early this year alone. the losses of the ukrainian armed forces have exceeded $560000.00 service men killed and wounded. it is full and the total loss is amounted to almost $1000000.00 people for the entire time of the special military operation. it hasn't been a rod, the militaristic address, both by the latter, my food and then the andre below. so it was more of a here's what with what we're capable of. here's what we can do in the future. if you don't listen to us, maybe issue either what ocean is worth mentioning or cutting edge weapons, including those that much talked about both at home and abroad. first of all, i am referring to medium range weapons. the soviet union chose to eliminate the land based medium range besides and the americans did the same with their person besides. but the americans, in addition to lend based medium range me, science had sea based and air based besides systems and in which the soviet union did not have. so that decision was to a certain extent,
5:12 pm
a form of unilateral disarmament. but in these days, we have created see, based the site of systems event, which are much more advanced than those of the us are. these are the color of the circle and we have created medium range air born. we saw the range of which exceed that of the probable enemy by over 4000 kilometers. and the system can carry a nuclear warhead machine. but finally, we have the already well proven ocean. it can conflict with a very powerful one. russia has repeatedly, repeatedly expressed its readiness to de escalate to start engaging in more peaceful initiatives, proposed both by the united states proposed by hungry. russia has been very open to a christmas cruise, for instance, to an idea of a large and prisoners of war swell during that christmas truce. but that has so far be crashed against the total reluctance in total hostility,
5:13 pm
coming from ukraine with some of your painted is a pushing foot little wall instead of pace. and you cray us the message from the hung, gary and foreign minister. he's accused fellow e, you officials of shooting down a christmas seas fund industry to 5 budapest. so you shouldn't have to equate them to cause without christmas is approaching. they don't care. only my slovak colleague stressed keeping the diplomatic solution on the agenda. in fact, not only has there been no support for the cease fire, many have even argued against it. i would like to tell you that today i have used my veto again. i have vetoed the transfer of some 6 and a half 1000000000 euros. these fund would have been used to pay the cost of arms shipments to e u. member states that had previously sent arms to ukraine. hungary has never shipped arms and has not contributed to any arms shipment. i am not the only one from the european piece facility who is not contributed to any arms transfers who
5:14 pm
is now being asked to pay. those who had behind gary and top diplomat is also slammed in a you move to sanction the head of russian is orthodox church as well as most goes on by the to the u. s. foreign windows to appear to see also say such restrictions on the invoice on religious need is make it even harder to peacefully result the ukraine conflicts. this comes. * to it's not to me the landscape for the size tongue gary anita victor open for talking to president putin about the christmas e spot also which budapest phase has been rejected by key as well. so you are p and studies research, and stephen got his take almost driving pro ambitions in most west and capital of their motives come from these by the andre of the you commission and of the ongoing spiders are these traces, and ukraine war was the by those war and the commission, especially with some of the on the line and some leaders,
5:15 pm
such as the model of mcdonald, france were fully behind the war, unlike them, the gary and leaders to the on button and these reporting affairs of better seattle are people with historical responsibility as personnel, i think they're very responsible and that is why they are doing their best the i think in order to help the peace negotiations to start both and on the bottom and, and i present the landscape of their terms are over and the there are no elections in size, in order for ukraine to get the legitimate, legitimate governments. so these people are hoping that we will, the will never end because the only way for them to say bower is for the united states to continue or increase the military aid. and it seems that the european commission that we see now is fully behind that was the
5:16 pm
lensky is trying to woo, the us with public i just to make sure they don't hanging out to dry off the donald trump steps into the white house next month. as according to russia's ambassador to the united nations, as he addressed the laces security council session is usually new, but also it's the unwillingness of the expired. ukrainian leadership to move towards peace has been manifested in the rejection of hungary proposal to establish a christmas cease fire and prisoner exchange. so it's going to be put on the same day we handed over our list for exchange. so lensky and his boyish manner is categorically rejected this initiative, which once again, refusing to take back more than $600.00 ukrainian service men who have been in russia for over a year. as we all had a great opportunity to see the main attempts of the former comedian lately, have been doing great, create himself with the republican team that won the elections in the united states . but he is trying to shift the focus from the bads placed by the sea of authorities on the democrats use google, as just as
5:17 pm
a lensky and his associates tirelessly travel around the united states and its main satellites. with an outstretched hand, people trying to get insurance is that the new administration will not abandon them to the web and use that. i don't know, trump has officially invited a number of wellesley to say as a no gratian in january. but it's not him, as lensky is not on the list, the u. s. president elect is also double down on his pledge to end the ukraine conflict, as we know to be declined to refer to the lensky whose time expires back in may as a president. i just gotta stop what and we're trying to trying to get the looking at. we're going to see which we're going to be talking with. we'll be talking to president boat and we'll be talking to the representative. so let's get representatives from u. k. we gotta stop at, it's this carnage. trump doesn't want to have the legacy of the war that he was not involved in. so this is for, from trump's perspective,
5:18 pm
for republicans perspective, this is by those war. and therefore, if the you repeat, just want to continue with the drum, says, go ahead, do whatever you want, but i'm not going to be the bold. it is. as a matter of fact, he said many times during the campaign as often as he was elected, that we have never been closer to nuclear war. and that's outgoing by the restriction is behaving recklessly by actually i'm trying to escalate in its final days in office, which is really something on scene. and i think that that from the will to try to make good deal. that's what's, of course jim politically suits the western coalition to go through the united states and it's up to russia to see how is it is going to handle with the new american of these races. but what i do think is that the, the you commission,
5:19 pm
the leaders of the see like my crone, and it was still a funded lion for hold the line are users one way or the other. cnn has admitted it may have an investment leave where they stay. faith news report from syria, that's off the allegation. stuff is to them on the outlets showed being found inside the jail cell was actually a member of a sod. suppose instead of a political prisoner, we have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity. that reports in question and don't see it out. on the 11th of december, i did show their correspondent clarissa award answering a syrian air force, intelligence, prison with her crew. and then they spotted that there was one cell that was law and it appears that there was a blanket that was moving. so the minutes since that she was with asked her to step aside while they pushed the door open. and from there, this man emerged to identified himself as i do a girl ball, supposedly
5:20 pm
a political prisoner who by that point, had been locked up for 3 months and hadn't had water in 4 days. and apparently he was left there to rob to since all other cells were m. c. let's, let's see a clip. watches my arm tense. this the prison they brought me to. he says it's a 3rd prison authorities after 3 months and a window was south. so can finally see this guy come a here. ok david might or something to eat. so fairly with this was now done for his body. can't handle it. first of all, he does not look like
5:21 pm
a man who had been in solitary confinement for, for, for 3 months. what's more, this is what's very interesting. 5 days before the crew arrived, anti government forces were there and they checked that presence and some of the hottest actually brought past the answer in that person's life. on the facebook. also we know that there were families that went there looking for their relatives to see if someone stayed behind. and from all of those to people, no one spot. i thought there was one cell that was locked and one man remained inside. that's what really doesn't add up. and again, we see the cnn quote. instead of taking them to a hospital right away, up to an ambulance, they actually pull up a chair and start interviewing him. and all of this looks really ridiculous. and that's why, of course you had a lot of people online that sort of comments invite away and slime in this report as spike the manicured nails of a man who was in a syrian dungeon without light for 3 months until cnn rescued him. what's
5:22 pm
interesting is that there is a western back fact track an organization called verify that said that actually this man, his identity is completely different. they backed up those statements off to local residents, they expose his true identity. and what's interesting, why it's interesting is that the fact that they have ties to washington. so that's why it's interesting that they were the ones that exposed. and this is what they have to say. the verify side of siri, in fact checking group. now says that this man is air force intelligence, 1st lieutenants, alarm a homage, salma, notorious for extortion and theft, in homes who had been arrested due to disputes with his colleagues about profit sharing. and now that disclaimer has since been added onto that report so that people know that what they're watching is potentially fake, even though cnn continues to error. but here's the thing. it's not the 1st time she's been in the ethics firing line, right? for example, we know that she produced when favorable reports 1st or she was granted access. uh,
5:23 pm
for example, back in uh, what was the 2012 to let the all chi down on enclaves there. and also to produce favorable reports about the free serial army, which we know that they are for support to apply the west. and then we had her appearing as part of the us delegation of to you and security council, where she was talking about all this is what i'm exceptions. as being heroes on the ground about their voices needs to be heard. and then whether we're on it or in the list. for example, the glaze on smacks blumenthal who was producing reports from the other points of view about how syrians were complaining and they were talking about how they were tortured by western back horses. she swayed away, attacked him, saying that he will, he doesn't know what he's talking about and he must be a drug addict. so she went straight to attack him. so we can see we saw examples of her bias reporting for years now just in the recent days i believe it was december 15 for we saw again another notes for yes americans are and the list below all
5:24 pm
abdulla korea who has a very shady, a very long track record long go into that because it will take us a couple of hours at least. but she has been described as a one point, a propaganda tool for h 2. yes. the hottest, who sees the power in syria and he produced this reports on december 15th, where he shows the following. we're at the palestinian bridge prison here in damascus. now what you're looking at here, it is something that history will probably never forget. and that is, these are the documents of the prisoners and where they ended up thousands upon thousands of prisoners were never heard from again. and now that before the authorities, a band in the prison, they decided to torch the records so that families would never know what happened
5:25 pm
to their loved ones. so apparently, all those documents were torched, but have a look at the room itself, the ceiling. the wall is r o y, if it doesn't look like that was a fire or even smoke or anything. so after reports like this is when it's hard to know what's to believe who to believe, and it's making it harder for viewers to understand what is true, let's say cross it to christopher holly, international, the secretary of the american communist party. many thanks for joining us. so what are your thoughts on this, this boom? so story that could potentially implicate cnn and producing a fake news report. well, it's not the 1st one and it certainly will not be the last one. we know, historically speaking, how many times there have been figured reports and this information from western media targeting countries that, that don't agree with us policies with governments that don't count out to
5:26 pm
washington and ultimately white washing the crimes of organizations adds a category as groups that are allied with washington, so we know that's the case now with all of this prep, again the weight washing kind of talking about shopping right. h t s, we know about the white washing that has occurred uh for as a battalion and fluoride sector in ukraine. this is just a part for the course. and so of course we, we are especially with players award who after october 7 web, israel and bates of vic reporting about being under attack. while there was no threat to our life. but, you know, getting down on the grounds and trying to see where somehow under attacked by how much this is just what the media does in the united states. we know, of course, it's a role in manufacturing consent for the us war machine. and for the regime change operations that washington conducts, and so it's something that's just within the blue book. and i think that right now people are very aware that this is going on. people understand the situation on the
5:27 pm
ground and that it cannot be that one day. this group is ida and the next day. these are moderate rebels who are somehow liberal, like humanitarians and democrats in domestic, if it simply can be the case. and i think many people are aware that this is propaganda. so what does this tell us about the standards of doing a less than a cnn, and of the mainstream media outlets? i don't think there are standards anymore. i mean, to be quite frank. i think that there are no standards. i think that cnn m as nbc abc cbs has become mouthpieces of the national security state. they've become most pieces of the us government and especially for it's ongoing of crimes abroad. and so there is no, there is no for example, ability to have multiple points of view on these stations. for example, when they bring in people who have diverse viewpoints, they usually are cut out,
5:28 pm
or they're labeled conspiracy theories, or they're somehow ostracized, as somehow insane. but of course, their respect to which is the dominant perspective, the perspective of the us government is touted as authority in fact. and that's the real danger about not giving the american people access to real information. and that's why they have a tax r d and other new stations, both domestically and abroad because they're fearful of alternative narrative and alternative viewpoints getting through. and that's why i think they have absolutely no credibility these days. despite the scandal, i have this latest story. why do you think so? yeah. and, and refuse to immediately retract they were forced that think that they're cut now with their pants down. so there's big them for it has no clothes. this is a situation where the public and especially some of great journalists, like mex blumenthal called them out immediately. and many people start to
5:29 pm
investigate, including groups that are aligned with the us. basically saying that 1st and foremost, you could have made the propaganda a little bit more believable, maybe some dirty or close, maybe some more raggedy fingernails and a hair. but they ended up putting this person who probably just came up the street and put them in there under a blanket. and then all of a sudden they said that this was a prisoner for 3 months, and he'd been denied water for find over 3 days. it is absolutely crazy. it just makes no sense. so i think that cnn no is caught in a catch 22. how could they somehow explain this a way i think their tactic now is to let this go further and further into the memory hole that exists the media in the united states, and somehow eventually, after some weeks a, oh sorry, this, it was missed reported, but by that side, everybody has already forgotten about it, and those of us that keep bringing it up will be labeled, construes if there is once again. that is, for those, of course the, when cnn, as in what many called
5:30 pm
a still contingency with the laser of hyatt ray. i'll san terrorist group and i'll control as damascus and cnn try to we brands the a c, a said chief is a full my, i'll call you the an ice is 5 to is a revolutionary revel. otherwise, to not lose the bad, similar coverage. what do you make of these white washing attempts? i mean, for me personally as somebody who far along side cd and add an army, curtis versus introduction, peacekeeping and military forces in the future against the dies. i am deeply concerned about this. i fought against also what i had talked about shots and these . okay. the affiliated groups, a list of friends in the region for this is a very this, this is a crime. this is a prime to white wash. this job is to somehow bred them as liberators. as the bringers of freedom, as revolutionaries, this is absolutely insane. i'm fearful of part, the christians in the region. the through is just the white, the minority. i'm fearful for the entire rich cultural and the really just legacy.
