a rose by 12 percent in california. the germany, braces for early elections off the trunk launch shows lose the confidence both he himself pre good and very close to his government's coalition collapsing long hon gary and part of it is to accuse this fellow e u members of pushing a pro strategy by rejecting budapest said that the media is a christmas piece, possibly ukraine on cnn at mid to possibly releasing a. some report corresponds in tons of files for allegedly staging the films release of a prison that in syria. the a very welcome. you're watching all the international with the latest world news on

the date is it's happy with germany. it's heading for a new election. that's off the chancellor la shows lost the motion of confidence in paul events. he received 207 votes, mostly from his own policy and came fossils at the 367 needed to stay in power. all these don't on quota, took me through the ramifications of the land market. the soap sell 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 the 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 song was engaging quite the debate just before the no confidence vote that was building an old sold scabbing on what of politicians been saying. well, the whole of shelves during these debates came under attack by a number of left his parties 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 mertz who is widely expected to become the next german chancellor. and is also a huge advocate for sending towards cruise missiles to ukraine. leading concepts, 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

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 speaking 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 bulk fantasies is about deploying german troops to ukraine and roosting 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 especially strong opinions being voice that i'm so what comes next for our 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 the 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 son german soldiers there, but he is very determined to see germany remain the key ever seems largest european donor wanted to start smart for 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 war. not with me is chance or politics is not

a game forming. a government requires moral maturity, weeks long sabotage of the free democrats 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 are bundeswehr isn't 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 is going to need a miracle to really turn things around. the tonsil is main arrival, christine done across the union lead a 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. it will also to stay all off. schultz has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever 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 dress merits might become a war chancellor, showing that it was a big deal. the car from the inside. they have the money to go toward. flush was to keep them out out because no citizen wants situation or do a lot against the tribes and to take the risk to get them out as it makes the trans up. that wasn't making a discussion. but i think because they have done the all right, some of our function has the most it for us was i know most of them wanted to against drugs because the government, in fact, the us government, they made to the top of them is the energy they made the energy crisis is a guy, so they made to the energy crisis with the electric power. they close the nuclear

power uh, blinds us. we had in germany. 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 donated and now of course we have a problem with this. so the elections and fema visit you ation. ok and that one. okay. you know, cause it's a big problem and the deals are applies. the $21.00 is it is a big problems is what and what's going on though. lots of interesting as well as the russia will list self impose 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,

where the russian latest states that the west is pushing moscow beyond this red line. yes, this is sure. if the united states starts deploying intermediate arrangements, our systems are going to hold our voluntary restrictions will be lifted. given the growing geopolitical attention, 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 raised 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 you crane uh at this moment, basically according to latimer food. and he has expressed hope that the russian of forces will be able to keep the momentum to keep the pace at which they are liberating tax fees that they have gained over over the past year. that this will

carry on onto 2025. according to vladimir putin, 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 dropped. it can be mobilized, basically giving a rather a broad to 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 of london approved has expressed consent, and i 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 minute you bandwagon. and just uh, threatening the threatening to westwood, its nuclear capabilities. but still russia has to get ready and has to prepare for

every single scenario that is on the table. so you wouldn't slaying up like huge 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. 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 very bellows 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 it, the scale of loss is basically the loss is that the ukranian army has suffered. let them go to this year. russian troops liberated almost 4500 square kilometers, issue of territory occupied by the enemy. and the enemies combat potential has been

undermined early this year alone and 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 latimer 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 the ocean, which is worth mentioning or cutting edge weapons, including those that are 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 arrangements science 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 in which the soviet union did not have. so that decision was to a certain extent,

a form of unilateral disarmament. but in these days, we have created sea based nissan systems event which are much more advanced than those of the us. these are the color of the circle 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 complex, which is 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 you prisoners of war swell during that christmas cruise. but that has so far be crashed against the total reluctance in total hostility coming

from ukraine was something you were painted is a pushing for mobile instead of pace and ukraine. that's the message from the hung, gary and foreign minister who's accused fellow e, you officials of shooting down a christmas seas fund initiative 5 through the past. so she will not equate them to cause we that christmas is approaching. they don't care. only my slovak colleagues 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

is now being asked to pay those who had son, gary and top diplomat, is also slammed in a you move to sanction the head of russia's orthodox church. as well as most goes on boss of the to the u. n. foreman is to if he 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 a lot to me is a landscape for the size home gary and lead evict to open for talking to president putin about the christmas eve. also which budapest say is, has been rejected by keith as well. so you are p and studies research. and steven, gone and spare his take on was driving pro ambitions in most western capital of their motives, come from the idea andre, of the you commission and of the ongoing by his organization. ukraine. war was the by those war and the commission, especially with some of the on the line. and some leaders such as the model

metronome of france were fully behind the war. unlike them. the and gary and leave is the on button and these reporting affairs back to seattle are people with historical responsibility as personnel, texting. they're very responsible and that is why they are doing their best the i think in order to help the peace negotiations start both that are 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 to the legitimate, legitimate governments. so these people are hoping that we will, the will never end because the only way for them to save 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

a lot of ways. lensky is trying to woo the us with public just to make sure they don't hang him 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 the address, the laces security council session. usually new, but i switched the unwillingness of the expired, ukrainian leadership to move towards peace has been manifested in the rejection of hunger used proposal to establish a christmas cease fire and prisoner exchange for slaves. that'll be put on the same day we handed over our list for exchange. so lensky in his boyish manner 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 should be 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 . the new list of the key is trying to shift the focus from the bads placed by the sea of authorities on the democrats use google, as just as

a lensky and his associates tirelessly travel around the united states and its main satellites with an out stretched hand trying to get insurance is that the new administration will not abandon them to the web and use that. i don't know, thom has officially invited a number of wellesley to say as a no gratian in january. but a lot of them is. 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 got to stop. what and we're trying to trying to the looking at, we're going to see what we're going to be talking with will be talking to president boat and we're 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 a 4th from trump's perspective,

from republicans perspective, this is by those war. and therefore, if the you repeat, just want to continue with the term, says, go ahead, do whatever you want, but i'm not going to be able to this. 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 that restriction is behaving recklessly by actually i'm trying to escalate in its final day in office, which is really something on scene. and i think that's, that from the will to try to make good deal. that's what's of course jim politically suits the western coalition that will suit the united states and it is up to russia to see how is going to handle with the, the new american of these traces. but what i do think is that you commission the

leaders of the see like my crone, and it was still a funded, lie it. and from the line our users, one way or the other cnn has admitted it may have an investment. lee released a fake news report from syria that's off the allegation surface, that amount the outlet 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 ward, entering a syrian air force intelligence presented 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 passed the door open. and from there this man emerged identified

himself as i feel, a girl boss, supposedly 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, 1000000 watches my are both hands. 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 again and again might or something to eat. so fairly lifted to his now or his body can handle it. first of all, he does not look like 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 as how government forces were there and they tried that present. and some of the hottest actually brought past the answering that person that lives on the facebook. also, we know that there were families that went there looking for their relatives to see someone stayed behind. and from all of those people know, 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 him to hospital right away, up to an ambulance, to 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's not a comments in vital way assignment, this report as fight the manicured nails of a man who was an a syrian dungeon without light for 3 months until cnn rescued him

. what's interesting is that there is a western back fact checking the organization called verify. that said that actually this man, his identity is completely different. they backed up those statements of local residents. they exposed 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 expose that. 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. first lieutenant's alarm, a homage to lama 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 eric. 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 for so she was granted access. uh,

for example, back in uh, what was the 2012 to lift the archive down and slaves there. and also she produced favorable reports about the free serial army, which we know that there are 4 supports that apply the west. and then we had her appearing as part of the us delegation of to you and the security council where she was talking about all this is law mac fax. and as being the heroes on the ground about their voices need to be heard. and then when they were on it during the less, for example, the glaze onto mike's 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 uh for years now, just in the recent days i believe it was december 15th, what we saw again, another notes for you as americans are and the list below. all abdulla trugreen 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 power in syria, and he produce this report 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 abandoned the prison, they decided to torch the records so that families would never know what happened

to their loved ones. so apparently, all those documents were torched about to 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 pretty 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 fake reports and this information from western media targeting countries that they, that don't agree with us policies with governments that don't count out to 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 talk about some right. h t s, as 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 went israel and bates of vic reporting about being under a deck. 1 there was no threat to our life, but you know, getting down on the ground 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 playbook. and i think that's right. now people are very aware that this is going on

. people understand the situation on the 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's 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 other mainstream media out of this? 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 have 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 weights, they usually are cut out,

or they're labeled conspiracy theories, or they're somehow ostracized, as somehow insane. but of course, their respect be, 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 g, 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 then refuse to immediately retract they were forced that think that they're cutting now with their pets down. so here's big, the embryo has no clothes. this is a situation where the, the public and especially some of great journalists, like mex blumenthal called the mount immediately. and many people start to

investigate, including groups that are aligned with the us. basically saying that 1st and foremost, you could have made the prep a get a little bit more believable of maybe some dirty or close, maybe some more raggedy finger nails and a hair. but they ended up putting this person who probably just came up the street . they 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's cnn. now is caught in a catch $22.00. how can they somehow explain this await? 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 mr. parted, but by that side, everybody has already forgotten about it. and those of us that keep bringing it up will be labeled. conspiracy curious once again. mm hm. just for those, of course, the and when cnn, as in what many cool to show can you just be with the laser of hyatt rios on

terrorist group and our controls, damascus and cnn. try to we bronze vh t. a said chief is a full my, i'll call you to an ice is 5 to is a revolutionary rebel. otherwise to not lose the bad, similar coverage. what do you make of these? why was thing attempts? i mean, for me personally as somebody who far along side sitting at an army could dish versus introduction peacekeeping and military forces in the each is against the dyess. and i am deeply concerned about this. i fought against also what i had talked about some of these. okay. the affiliated groups, a list of friends in the region for this is a very this, the, this is a crime. this is a prime to white wash. this job is to somehow grab them as liberators as the bringers of freedom, as revolutionaries. this is absolutely insane. i've beautiful part the christians in the region. the through is this, the lights, the minority. i'm fearful for the entire rich cultural. and the really just like.
