the, the breaking news on r t and explosion kills ahead of russian chemical protection forces. you got your love and his assistants outside the general apartments, the german parliament costs and overwhelming no confidence vote against all i've showed the chancellor tensions teed up in berlin. but nap election expected early next year to choose a new head of government. and nobody knows who the other side is, but i do, you know, it is turkey. okay, turkey is the one behind it. you as president elect donald trump blamed turkey for the political. a people in syria climbing is behind the terrorist take over

the live and the russian capital. i'm rachel ruble. this is our t international. we start with that breaking news from moscow. the head of russian chemical protects and forces lieutenant general e got killed off, has been killed in an explosion near his apartments. his assistants also reportedly was killed r t correspondent, anastasio ballade, and i is live for us at the sight of where this explosion happened on associated with more. can you tell us a yes or a to where currently at the sides of the explosion? why? of russian leech and then general of the russian on forces was killed outside his apartment building, which is actually right behind me. the emergency services a working out the scene at the moment and the russian investigative committee opened

a criminal case about the mother of the russian due to the general and his and his, um, excuse me, on his helper. and this morning and explosive device were supposed to be designated near the entrance of the residential building as we get them going to repeat myself . but it's road that is right behind me. and as a result of the incident, either td loves the lieutenant general of the russian forces was killed. and his assistant as well. uh, emergency services continue to walk out the scene. and around me there are ambulances, as well as some other services. they'll walk you up sites at the moment. all right, are to correspond on a so see of alonda and associates. thank you. and of course we will keep up to date on the story as we get new information. well, germany, braces for early elections after chancellor. all i've sold has lost a confidence vote. he himself triggered in response to his coalition government collapsing. at last month he received 207 votes, mostly from his own

a party and came far short of the majority needed to hold office or to contribute. or rachel marsden takes us through his fall from power. the german tests are all sold as the law makers and the buddhist started to give him a good swift kick in the letter hosen, or better yet to just drop kick is ours, right out of the beer garden. because while he no longer has the majority required to ram through his agenda anyway, and they happily obliged and no confidence vote of 394 in favor of his dejection and 207 against out. a quick reminder that all this came about in the 1st place, because schultz had a follow with his finance minister of christian lin, or of the yellow light centers party and his so called traffic light coalition. so it's wanted another $15000000000.00 euros to be pulled from tax care funds to make weapons for your trade, because that's arguably the best thing that the german economy has going for it right now with arms producer ryan metal shares, skyrocketing, for example, shots,

wandering, living or to lift his foot up off the depth rates and allow shots to go pedal to the metal on defense spending all for you freight of course. and this finance minister was like, uh no dude. you got some tarus weapons back there in the closet that you can dust off and give to your girlfriend zalinski. there's also the minor detail that tars missiles could start world war 3, because they have a range of 300 miles. and that would only really be able to just sit on german troops lapse like a toddler at a steering wheel. who thinks he's actually driving? but lender was like, whatever, at least those missiles are free. okay. they're just sitting there like an apartment exercise bike with laundry pile on top of it. and well, schultz wasn't going for it was the start smart for bringing forward the bonus tag . collections is my go through it. the citizens will then be able to determine the

political force 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 in 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 chancellor schultz apparently just wanted to keep sending more cache into the german military industrial complex, under the pretext of helping ukraine, but didn't seem to keen on actual war. then there's chancellor want be frederick murphy, of the pole leading christian democrats who seems to already be campaigning for the late february election. that this vote is now triggered on the idea of being more of a case up to the you and to washington. then schultz ever was like, that's germany's big issue right now, that it wasn't sick. the fancy cannot under shots. mertz said that it was quote,

embarrassing how schultz acted into european union. and now schultz shrugged off north stream, being blown up. and mertz doesn't think that he was enough of a team player. then you have the german anti establishment parties. try me in the left wing, pointing out that mr. piece here. charles has a bit of a weapon, spending problem. and suggesting that murtz already came close to triggering a world war when he wasn't even the chancellor. yet, i think a talk this day marks the glorious end of a government that has noticeably and permanently lessened people's lives. they present themselves as chancellor of peace. and yet they support the largest rearmament program in the history of the alliance. you have full and too often mister schultz, for us to trust that your word on the taurus will still hold off to the election. mister minutes has recently developed memory gap and can suddenly no longer remember his tourist ultimatum in the book. just talked to chancellor candidates

with memory last, that's how well gemini is on the on the anti establishment right wing. the candidate for chancellor, for a s d alice via adults accused both establishment parties of high 5 in the country . right in the face with the emergency airbags that they've cared. well, that's all it's all off. schultz has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever had germany is in the deepest one is the most or severe economic with financial energy and migrant prices. so i'm just like doing stuff instead of taking ties with washington and moscow where the keys to piece lie. the chancellor and friedrich merits go to kids to waste even more money than before. this will turn germany into a direct party to the war and the target of an impending nuclear conflict. the f d there is pulling it around 18 percent nationally, a few points ahead of sorts of social democrats supporting to the latest insights

and force of pulls from just a few days ago. that following recent electoral victories in eastern german regional elections, and one of the points of the party hammering about is this whole focus on you frame really isn't helping germany. and now one of its top officials is saying that, hey, maybe it's time for germany to bail out of nato altogether. russia has already won this war, reality has caught up with those who claim to be seeking to enabled ukraine's victory. so far, europe has been forced to implement america's interest and we reject that. a defense community must accept and respect interests of all european countries, including russia. if nato cannot ensure that, then germany must consider the extent to which this alliance is still useful to us . and finally, get to the point of seeking to end the war. so the 2nd place a f, d is demanding more respect for germany from nato and the 1st place christian

democrats are demanding that nato be better respected, so to haile contracting more abuse. and only one of them is going to come out on top in the election set for the end of february. of some european leaders are pushing for more war instead of peace. and you train us the message from the hon. gary and foreign minister who's accused the fellow you officials of shooting down a christmas ceasefire initiative by budapest. so you shouldn't have to equate them to cause we that christmas is approaching. they don't care only my slovaks 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. and i would like to tell you that today i have no use of my veto again. at that moment, i have a veto the transfer of some 6 and a half 1000000 euro. these funneled would have been used to pay the cost of farms for them to you and member states that had previously sent arms to ukraine. hungry

has never shipped arms and has not contributed to any r shipments and you studied with. i am not the only one from the you are going to piece facility your was not contributed to any arms transfers who is now being asked to pay those who had warranties but she does. the hon. gary on top of the diplomat also slammed an e. you move to sanction the head of russia's orthodox church, as well as moscow's ambassador to the un for administer. peters the artist says such restrictions on envoys and religious leaders make it even harder to peacefully resolve the ukraine conflict, which comes after. flooding mercilessly criticized hon gary and leader victor or bond for talking to president clinton about the christmas cease fire offer, which budapest says has been rejected by key of we asked european studies be suggestive on guy as for his take on what's driving pro war ambitions in most western capitals, their motives come from the ideal laundry of the you, commission and of the ongoing spiders are these traces ukraine war was the by those

war and the commission, especially with some of the on the line and some leaders such as the motto, mcdonald, friends, were fully behind the war, unlike them, the and gary and leave is to the on button and these reporting affairs to seattle are people with historical responsibility as per stuff. i think they're very responsible and that is why they are doing their best. the, i think, in order to have the peace negotiations to start bolts that are on the bottom and, and a president's the landscape. 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 save our is for the united states to continue.

busy increase the military age and it seems that the european commission that we see now um is uh, fluid behind that a lot of his last day is trying to woo us republicans to make sure they don't hang him out to dry after donald trump steps into the white house, next months, that's according to russia's ambassador to the united nations, as he addressed the latest and 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 hungry is a proposal to establish a christmas cease fire and prisoner exchange, as well as that will be put on the same day. we handed over our list for exchange. so lensky and his storage manner visit categorically rejected this initiative, which is 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 shade himself with the republican team that one of the elections

in the united states. the new list of the key is trying to shift the focus from the bads placed by the way of authorities on the democrats use google as to those a lensky and his associates tirelessly travel around the united states and its main satellites with an out stretch and people still trying to get assurances that the new administration will not abandon them, still know what we use, but that's it. you can. and donald trump has officially invited a number of world leaders to his and i'll get ration in january, but bottom are zalinski is not on the list. us president elect has also double the down on his pipes, the end of the ukraine conflict. and he notably declined to prefer to zalinski, whose term expired in may as the president. i just gotta stop what and we're trying to trying to get the we're gonna, we're going to see what 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 drums doesn't want to have

the legacy of the war that he was not involved in. so this is for, from trump's perspective, 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 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 the restriction is behaving recklessly by actually i'm trying to escalate in his final days in office, which is really something unseen. 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 going to handle with the new american of his races. but what i do saying is that you commission, the leaders that we see like my crone, and it was still a funded lie and from the line our users one way or the other. you as president elect donald trump, has a tooth, turkey of orchestrating the over throw of bash or all assad government in syria. he claims the darkest president pulled off and on friendly take over. nobody knows who the other side is, but i do, you know, it is turkey. okay. turkey is the one behind it. he's a very smart guy. they've wanted it for thousands of years and he got it. and those people that went in are controlled by turkey. and that's okay, it's another way to fight. but no, i, i don't think that i want to have our soldiers killed when nobody knows what the

final outcomes going to be in the region. you know, nobody knows who really the final. i believe it's turkey and i think turkey is a very smart, he's a very smart guy and he's very tough. but turkey did an unfriendly take over without a lot of lives being lost. i can't say that her side was a butcher who what he did to children. you remember i attacked him with the 58 missiles. the us attack on syria that trump mentioned is less than 2017. when the white house use the pretext of assigned to alleged use of chemical weapons in the contract cone, the strikes were executed without un security council approval and without any investigation into the incident. here's how it was reported in us media at the time . when the chemical attack had some very braved journalist from the a level media center and went straight to the scene. of course, this was an enormous personal risk. and the footage that they shot really offers

and unvarnished on sanitized up close. look at the horror of a war crime, which is why we felt it is so important to show the same cnn journalist is now facing scrutiny over her latest reporting from syria. cnn has admitted it is investigating the identity of a man who was featured in a video being discovered and a government jail cell which might actually be in question. 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 blankets 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 identified himself as i do, a girl ball, supposedly

a political prisoner who by that point has 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 eclip watches my are both hands on the prison. they brought me to he says it's a 3rd prison authorities. after 3 months and a window was cell, the can finally see this guy. come a here. ok david. get night or something to eat. so here we with this was now done for 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 job this actually brought past the answering that person that live 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 he has 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 track an organization called verify that said that actually this man, his identity is completely different. they backed up those statements of who 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 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 1st, or she was granted access. uh, for example, back in uh,

what was the 2012 to lift the archive down on enclaves 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 on security council, where she was talking about all this is law mich facts. and as being heroes on the ground about their voices needs to be heard. and then where they were auditor and the list. for example, the glaze on mike's blumenthal who was producing reports from the other points of view about how syrians were complain, and then 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 you as americans are and the list below. all abdulla proving who has a very shady,

a very long track record won't 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, a band in 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 to believe, who to believe, and it's making it harder for viewers to understand what is true. american radio and the tv journalists guard on next. and it says the cable, new child has become a joke to americans and its demise is imminent. well, the good news is that nobody's watching it because cnn as low as 47 percent of their audience in the last few months. but i think what we're seeing here is the reason this is why people are leaving main stream media in the united states because people are already onto them. clarissa ward is the same person who, a few years back in the very same syria. she picks up a backpack and argue that she suspected that it had some type of a point in his guess on it and literally sniffed the backpack,

which if it had it would have killed her instantly. so her, her history is simply that of a propagandist and cnn is doing what they've been doing for years. and this is why the so called media empire of the united states is crumbling because they're be exposed as a, just a clown show. certainly they're doing operations for intelligence, but the ineptitude of the intelligence factions that put this together because it's obviously it was put together by us or western intelligence. but the idea of the concept of shooting or lock off. i mean, sure that looks good in hollywood. i was a law enforcement officer. you're in a small room if you fire around, it's probably going to ricky, say, around the room and kill someone. and so they are in a position now where they either admit that they worked with intelligence to put together a story or vague claim that they are totally inept. and they were duped, and they were misled, which either way it shows that this is not a of quality news operation that either either they are complicit with the

government, which they are, or they're totally inept. hapless bundle bunglers, which they are, their ratings are dropping precipitously because the american people are getting wise to them. they're just a uh, in the us, i'm in the us seeing in as a joke. now the people are looking at that and no one is shocked or surprised. they are laughing about it. they are pointing out the absurdity of it. they just become a, a laughing stock to the american people and their demise seems to be imminent. all right, let's get back to that breaking news. recovering here in moscow, the head of the russian chemical protection forces, the tenant general, eguard carillon has been killed in an explosion near his apartment. his assistant also reportedly was killed in that blast as go now to are the correspondent on his stuff. you have a lot in a who is at the scene over this explosion happened to start on associated. what more can you tell us? yes, rachel,

we're currently out the scene why the explosion happened? audi this tuesday morning, as a result of which the head of the russian chemical protection forces on his assistant, why killed reportedly, according to the russian investigative committee, a criminal case has been opened and with the might of the 2 service men out. according to the investigators, an explosive device designated near the entrance of the residential building, which is actually right behind me, as you can see, is just over the force. and you can see it right now because of all the costs and emergency services that are working out the site. and um, so the explosive device designated near the residential building uh, near the entrance and as a result of which can be left on his assistance. why killed? and again, i'm going to review myself, but to deal with was the head of russian chemical protection. full says, emergency services continue to walk up this either. i'm going to insist around me a police cause everyone is walking and uh,

southwest has been expecting the area and states and so far that know all the explosive devices have been styled. so it's truly is a developing story and will keep you updated. all right, are to correspond to uninstall i see a lot in a, an associate. thank you. okay, well, joining me now here in the studio is our t correspondence as skia, taylors, this task is still very early on in this investigation. we're just getting very scant details at the moment. is there anything that you are hearing to update us? well, it did take obviously a while to understand the who the well, the way up to see no one wants to make any ground statements without official conformation. but we do now have thought, and it has been states that tough one of the russians talk minute treat. officials out of 10 general equal carrillo, of course, is the face of many would recognize because he headed up for around 78 years, the country's wage and logical chemical and biological defense force. so he was

killed in the audi hours of tuesday morning and we often saw him speaking about fi, logical lessons, the forest trees on ukrainian territory. he was always talking about how this was on the, not just the funding but also the patronage of the west, specifically washington which of course you and i. right. so this is something that victorian units have so admitted to what the senate committee hearings are new recently the last couple of months if we want to talk about highlights from some of his speeches, he out just the kind of elements watching being smuggled through nato tired tree he highlighted romania mentioned multiple, i had been warning the key of his time and a full flag operation. so from his chest really was i think, a boy that was trying to expose some of the trudy dodge and of course the most kind of base and dangerous types of wolf. i know the individual who was killed was a career. let's assistant and i just did very quickly to recap what associated was

that saying? i took a pace early on tuesday morning near a residential block already a major star sight and most ago he's the most current native in the south east of the capital. and we know that it was bloss triggered by a remote, a control. busy road, improvised explosive device and all you todd been apparently attached to an electric screw to the doctor just now being taken off the site for analysis. and it was near the blog sentence, the 2 extra take. now those even a room with the potentially the person who prop pressed the big you know, to the box and might have been hiding, waiting and watching for those to, to access. but the power of the explosion, essentially some witnesses that talked about how windows even on the floor and actually lost it out. yeah, that was my big question. this is obviously a very targeted assassination. and that bomb allegedly attached to a scooter. i mean, how could something like this actually happened and, and it just had a major thoroughfare in moscow? well, i mean, obviously, we not, i mean,

it wasn't the parties are at the scene. we know that investigates has all that there a south was apparently who was so cleaning out the territory. what we can talk about though, and i think that's not true. question is obviously likely hypothetical. hm. so we say, how did we get to where we all mean look over the last 2 and a bit. yes, since the whole started, we've seen a string of terror attacks that people from what they all right. i mean, similar in whom they targets the best i would say is on an unprecedented level, this would mark the most high level official to die and, and terrorist attack and similar and method. i mean, we've been reporting right over the last couple of months and years governing faces in don't pass as a perhaps it has some problem says regions that have been talking to it's often successfully new ways who most without exception in columns. i mean, 2 months ago ukraine pilled what they call the quote, cooperate, tough and straight to who was head of security of.
