the, the and the headlights are not the international, no ceasefire, only a permanent piece. dynamite beauty and says, must go was settled for short term solutions that may give for a year. and then bondage on the front line. more than any, is it possible to stop the facilities right now? there is a depletion of combat equipment and munition. and most importantly, personnel on the part of the training on forces. our armies moving forward to stop for the we means to give the enemy the chance to gain a foothold upon their positions. pulled out the west for a high tech and 21st century. do old. he suggests they name a location in ukraine and bring in all the defenses they want. in a rush, you would fire as you knew of hypersonic miss. i'll take it that's very spot sensitive. look at to concentrate older air defense and missile defense forces

there. and we will strike there with the ocean and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment, is the other side ready. and in the end of his nearly 4 and a half hour to an a session, the russian leda takes time to give some kind of bid on those 2 of the width to come in the way it's up to what you see is what you want. and this is done in my opinion, out to people. and why should we demonstrate the simple things the all right, i guess, done a corresponds to study by for a busy out here on the table that is off of the russian presidents been moved on 4 hours today during q and a of the costs with a public and international john list. so some of the highlights off russia doesn't need a true sit needs a marketing piece that is the central message from the inside and they put it in about the ukraine conflict best as i said during today's microphone q and a session. i mean, so i to advise you, even if this is a sincere attempt to find

a solution making your, you know, of you, this attempt is balanced and nothing posing on either side. that is why it is being put forward by neutral countries that do not interfere in the conflict like western countries do who are actually at war with us using ukrainians as proxy. so they are actually a belligerent particular one. is it possible to stop the hostilities right now? there is a depletion of combat equipment, munitions, and most importantly, right? so, so now on the part of the ukrainian on how um is moving forward, probably make up the stuff for a week. new means to give the enemy the chance to gain a foothold on their positions to take a break and get the necessary equipment to allow munitions, letting people in ukraine i snatched from the streets like straight doors. as i already said at the ministry of defense, they are snatched like stray dogs, but at least those are brought to shelters for straight animals. and then they tried to assign them to family. but here they simply throw people in the firing line. we need piece, long term lasting piece with guarantees for the russian federation and you're, it is a difficult question of how to provide these guarantees. but in general,

we can look for it as for short term truces. here the prime minister of hungry mister orbits approached me with this proposal as to what's so difficult for you to have a christmas truth for a day or 2. i said, well yes, that's probably true. the 1st people talk to the strange inside we agreed at least 3 times, 2 events of this kind on shipping in the black sea and on energy infrastructure and so on. then air gun also made proposals, and suddenly the head of the ukranian regime announces no negotiations, no troops. then i call him, i say, to the gun what's happened? he says, well, that's what our partners are like. what do you mean? i asked or been to he also propose the christmas truthfully, as he also proposed an exchange of prisoners that i did not refuse. the next day, the head of the regime announced that there would be no truth, no prisoner experience of everyone's healthcare. tyler was right of a heart of reaction front and center during this direct line resided meant food in this ask you protests that were you you know what was really striking to me. it was quite astonishing how the energy of the russian president just didn't get over the

entire time. he answered the questions with the same kind of accuracy, focus on the facts and with the same kind of mental agility at the beginning, i'm at the end and he was of course, moving between so many different fields, domestic and foreign issues. me, which is not true because often military advances in the art of negotiation like you quite right inside a huge chunk of the press conference was dedicated to ukraine. the majority of the questions that was sent in from russian systems around the country wire about that . a few highlights, i do want to bring you starting with president putin's comments about the hypotonic missile asinique, which in his do absolutely has no e quote on what she said as well. if you don't believe me, then how about we have an assault based so you could give some experts in the west believe that such a messiah is easy to shoot. don't you just do it? well, if those western experts think, so let them offer us like

a and let them offer those in the west and in the us. i'll pay them for their analysis in order to conduct some kind of technological experiment. so your height taken to the 21st century existing, let them identify some object to destroy the se in key or concentrate older air defense and missile defense forces there. and we will strike there with the rational and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment. is the other side ready? it says it does look as well. i'll just see that was a tongue in cheek. but son, in addition to that sentence, which really stood out to me was how a lot of man, uh boots. and when talking about western ad defense, ms. solve back to you have has audits. disposal said we need to ask all guys outside. well, they have many who is so dream of reaching the country of extremist elements. now i posted the option sense and not a quite a confidence that the russian liter clearly has contact with people not just in the military leap but political to. but of course,

almost every single question that was raised about the war. the focus was on negotiation. and on this he was very clear a c spot is milton lost in truce. however much he does well come, of course, the initiatives, old neutral countries like for example, hungry and 6 out opened with christmas c spots which brought them into it and said we agreed to it was key of that reject to that. now because it does have to be noted, the delay of the land is to be signed today is very different to the last allowed. for example, during the peace negotiations, it is simple. in the spring of 2020, which the british prime minister scott put apparently, apparently i will talk to does one of the 3 times most of it has agreed to a deal with t of but the ukraine then faxed out souls. as we had today though, talking about the labs and on most case pulses are advancing. that's an unprecedented rate to such an extent the bottom of the page and said, as we talk today,

we very close to filling the tasks that we initially set for ourselves back in february 2022. we also cropped up with kids, peyton's, namely on the european continent, and on not vastly approaching state test. they've really shopped themselves in the foot, not just financially, but also in terms of security. how can a be a crew of ukraine has adults our guest supplies to europe and consumer city, on the one hand picks from their hands because only with the support of the west, so including from europe, can it exist not only to fight but to exist. so i think at the same time it creates problems for them by cutting off the supply of our relatively cheap and gas for the euro. there would be no such contract to, to work on everything is already key. if it's too well then all right, we will survive kind of show and guess problem was there by this, by the way, our special services to recently reported to me that in slovakia some of those have

been detained and it is clear that they are ukrainian some what they're so the deal with the maps of the location of gas energy facilities. in slovakia, scott, i will ask to partner channels about that. the if it's not enough that we have terrorist attacks now that you repeat in countries have them as well. i repeat, once again, they feed from the end of the tech from the hand and have already moved on to attempts to carry out terrorist attacks on the territory of unit. so i kind of will finally on the conflict and ukraine, i do want to show you the response to question from the b b c, because it was one. i think the really comprehensively covered the long standing western attitude towards the world's largest nation. and a lot of my preaching sounds very defiant. i thought he basically expressed the sentiment, but he was confident that he actually st. um a wild and which that was a future for russia. there wasn't as much. exactly 25 years ago. boris yeltsin

resigned was handed over power to you and told you to take care of russia. now after 25 years, do you think you have done that successfully? because from the outside we, what do we see? but we see significant losses in the so called special military operation that you announced, we see ukrainian soldiers in the course region. you criticize nato expansion, but nato has increased. it rushes borders. there are saying sions, high inflation and demographic problems last. so do you believe you have protected your country? yeah, should the, should, i believe that not only protected russia, but also pulled it back from the brink of the abyss. everything that was happening to russia before and after was leading us to a complete and total loss of our sovereignty. without sovereignty, russia cannot exist as an independent states. and i would like to draw your attention to what you said regarding boris nikolai, which yeltsin everything seemed fine. he was patronized, only patted on the back, and no one even noticed when he occasionally had to drink. he was very well liked

in all west and circles, but as soon as he raised his voice in defense of yugoslavia, as soon as he stated that this contradicted international law and the un charter. and as soon as he said that it was unacceptable in modern europe to strike belgrade the capital of a european states without the sanction of the un security council, he was immediately persecuted and labelled an alcoholic and other derogatory terms . don't you remember this? i did everything to ensure that russian remains and independent and sovereign power, capable of making decisions in its own interests rather than in the interest of those countries that were trying to draw it towards themselves while patting it on the back for their own purposes. southgate, well, what about of a commentary from the russian president, anything else beyond russia's border that was talked about as well? well, that was obviously a question on the crisis in syria and the pools, given how many players are involved, some of which russia cooperates with in various international forms. all right. all right. the impression for me was that he was being quite diplomatic and quite castle. the 11 thing he was very outspoken

a not was on who had the most to gain from the toppling over to, to, to deal with just to death or somebody 13. so he's doing everything to ensure the security on the front of the southern border. we noticed any developments and serious you need to create conditions for the return industry, naples records the phrase from its territory to other territory. so a serious story which are concentrated on the territory of syria. so it is, which is actually under the control the surface can some think it would come back and replace it if the good news formation is going to be going to have a couple, this is possible and perhaps to some extent it will even be done. but still, the main beneficiary to most of the event is taking place and you see me in my opinion, is israel. and you can have any other to to know what is real is doing. russia can focus on the free service rush, getting into the vision here is not subject to any adjustment, but he's really is also solving issues related to security for instead of actual, this is the line only on the golden hi. say to a well known line. it'll say he's real, hasn't gone to

a depth of 25 kilometers. what those are right to a quite provocative i would say question posed by the american outlet m. b. c. who suggested that the collapse of assets regime and his split and subsequently to moscow with some kind of strategic defeat for russia. so you have failed to reach the objectives of your special military operation. large numbers of russians have died, including a general of assassinated here, we must go this week and the leader of syria who you supported has been over simone. mister president's, when you face president elect to trump, you will be the weak elidah. how do you propose to compromise? what are you going to offer? yeah, that sounds good to me. i am ready to meet with trump at any time. you know, you said that this conversation will take place in a situation where i will be in some week, instead of the dear colleague just at the end. i say dear to us, because despite all the persecution of our press,

we allow you to work in russia and you do it freely. you and those people who pay your salaries in the united states would very much like russia. and i need to be in a week instinct. i was wondering what my hold a different point of view. russia has become much stronger over the past 2 to 3 years. why, from including the readiness of our armed forces go out today. i can confidently say criterias in the highest place in the world, so i'm going to the most old and a 2 countries are at war with us. the internal state of the russian super voice such that perhaps no other army in the world has put a gun. it has the civil and i believe that russia is largely in the state. we were striving to cause it has become a tree and silver and come from wisdom we know and all you will do want to finish on what could all deeply be the most human. i'm the most touching moments in the entire event, and it was one's lot improved. some was off how the war and ukraine has passed me affected him over the last 2 years using how have you changed in the last 3 years? was nice to know which seeming yeah, you know, we only change. we change every day,

every hour. i always tell you frankly, we are joking now and there is left during the whole. i started joking list and almost stopped laughing. you know, and i'll say that that was just a moment, a few seconds for that was just to silence off to see set those watts and bear in mind, this is a big hole there, a hundreds if not more, john and us. and i think even a boss were a bit taken aback, really not necessarily by the words themselves, but by the sincerity. you know, we also used to sing president putin address the defense committees, or address parliament or speaker. the norm was gatherings and we always forget, but in the thought he is a cool soul. so just a mom. and he has a mind who thoughts and lots of responsibilities, not just for the substance here, but literally for the lights of the boys who are fighting on the front lines and the conflicting new crate. and i think for that moment it was incredibly touching to see the mind behind the presidential alma, so to speak, reminding us of course,

the possible impact. this is how not just on all of us, but him as well over the last, almost 3 years. point by sounds good right there. and then frankly, i made all the serious discussions during this marathon q and a session of future, unless they've managed to sneak in some role. that lighthearted questions for the russian person. the, what you say is what you want. and this is done here in my opinion, out a few buttons. and why should we demonstrate this importance? and, you know, i have long built myself up to the fact that everything i have to do the unix i have to do with pleasure. things don't wish to fun with. i don't think it would be necessary just like some people from ukrainian political leadership went abroad . he's likely to do the same. he will be taking him by the people who he service

today. i see it as a condition. russia, of course, it is the map you can see, 1st of all, like any country. these are huge territories, but it's not just the territory. it's the history, the culture. these are our customs and traditions, that is all russia. but still, the most important thing is that people, i see russia as a family 1st. yeah, just so many intriguing comments from the russian president today, as i said in any 4 and a half hours in length of the cost to an a with a public and international journalist to check out what you may have missed on our website for now, here on the program before we joined shay bowers, give you an update here because kim's forces are going to miss all strike this on a south western russia. on wednesday, most coast ministry, defense or ukraine fight, at least 6 us made attack comes on for british, stolen the shadow,

miss altering the bombardment against all stop the region. let's get more right now . and of course want to shape voters joining us there. live on the for, i don't show you, i bring us up to date it. what do we know about this missile strike? yeah, well it took place in real star, which is a russian territory a long way from the front lines and ukrainians, fired at 6 attack comes and we saw it was an american miss on for storm shadows, a british long range cruise miss us. now one thing that you don't hear routinely in the western media, you hear about the strikes you hear about the escalation by supplying these weapons for use on russian therapy. would you don't hear, but the fact that the russian air defenses con and routinely to destroy them and shoot them out of the sky on this occasion? that's exactly what happened. all. but one of these missiles that were fired at the kaminsky combine plant in real stuff were destroyed and they were destroyed by russian air defense systems. like the s 400, like the book and 3 like the punch. see,

or remember russia is probably at the for or phones globally of air defense systems . so, uh, you know, despite this escalation, rush, it kind of handled them the russian ministry of defense and said it won't go on on the search. but what's also important, rory is the fact that in the context that this comes in presidency, lensky is in europe. the talking to a so called partners and talking about, you know, demanding and immediate entry into nato. and while the corporate group, if you like, of the nato block of who supports them and phones and are saying, you know, we will start to be ukraine will continue to do so separately. things look a little bit differently at countries like germany refusing to supply taurus at long range missiles at zalinski, which is an analog. if you look at the storm shadow in the scouts, well that was forward and not the scope of the storm show that was for the russ stuff. you've got belgium refusing or enabled. it says to provide f. 16 jets

for other jets to ukraine this year. and you got the police saying, look, we can't supply anymore aircraft, we tend to actually support with much of anything else because we're at the bottom of the bag. we can't do any more for ukraine. that's of a listen to exactly what they had to say. so i think we gave everything we could, we have supported and we'll continue to support ukraine. however, we can say that we are approaching an extreme point. we are running into a dead end. yeah, so as you can see, the desperation continues the strikes essentially in effective against russian territory. that the biggest risk of them probably isn't gonna have an impact on the front lines where russia, as present improvement said today isn't advancing in meters. it's advancing in kilometers. it's probably going to be on an attempt to escalate, to get russia to lose its nerve and to do something radical in response. i had a president trump appointment on the 28th of january, and we've had a mike,

a carpenter adviser to president at a bite and saying, look, basically uh right. now this is all up the phone. so we're kind of out of the game here. and we know the president phone has a very, very different view of the conflict and ukraine has promised to end this very quickly. and it's really this gap now between now and january 20th, with the key of may continue to try and escalate the military effects of which are minimal. as we can see, both the political effects hoping that russia will again break its poll. he's on the bottom of truth, we'll do something according to their schedule. is probably the biggest risk likely, but we will watch this space. yeah. and do show as you say, trump is going to be in the office much sooner than later. i meantime, nato is that now is that it is taking over the coordination of military aid to key of from the united states. and as you just said in your report, nato in these european countries basically have nothing left scraping

a barrel. and only now are they actually starting to admit it onto these shavonne think? well, basing the sides, it's reckless for washington. good is to describe china as a threat to us national security. this offer a new pentagon report race concerns about the asian countries ministry power. china is foreign ministry believes that the us could be looking for a pre types to increase its military presence old away far away and that eastern pacific region. you may follow the different ball this us report like previous similar reports ignores the fact is full of bias and promotes the china threats theory. it is nothing more than an excuse to preserve the military had germany. we call on the us to abandon the cold war mentality and hedge a monic logic. stop publishing such irresponsible reports, year after year, and take practical actions to maintain the stability of china, u. s. military relations. while they've had to go inside and it's the annual report, the chinese imagery pa is on the right. it's prompting concerns in washington. now,

the us suspects that china is nuclear arsenal apparently includes more than $600.00 warheads. but that number is set to almost double to about $1000.00 within the next 5 years will be while of aging has that also closed out? the european union saying it will take measures to protect a chinese companies. that's after a number of them were included in the use, the latest package of sanctions against china's neighbor and ally, russia, china, a just the you to immediately stop the wrong doing of including chinese companies and it's sanction list and stop damaging the legitimate interest of chinese companies, china will take necessary measures to firmly safe, got the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies. so let's talk about this all with nelson walton device. chapman of the, excuse me, the ball via club experts, vice chairman of the shanghai send, have a ring back and it's optional studies. mr. wong, always good to get you on the program and look at where we are today. goodness gracious, may beijing accusing washington number of of promising

a so called china threat theory summer saying it so it can boost its own military presence in asia as some people call that a conspiracy theory. other ones called a conspiracy fact nelson your thoughts as well. thank you, rory, or i think the for asia, i think asia is a peaceful place if the us is going to mind its own business of state out of the region. so also the accusation of china's military or all the build up of the nuclear also the hope a well that's a that's only for self defense of defense purposes only i'm china has always stated that it will never use nuclear weapons unless it is it best? yeah, so let's put asia aside. the i was listening to the program and the above your i think your of seems to have full like into their own truck. i

refuse to walk out of the strategic toilet. they have put themselves 82. yeah, they will know the situation, you the battle viewed and you crying a know that roger cannot be defeated. and if we keep supply is strong of what buttons to ukraine and even sending best sold, is it we're only escalating to go onto a much larger scale, what it will trigger, a full blown wall in your but how kenzie europeans, when the war against rush that occupies one of the largest awesome knows about all i am. do they really want to send that people to the meet grinding measured of the let alone the capacity because they all the new k will? yeah. yeah. we instead of finding a solution. yeah, uh for a peaceful. it's all right, sorry. so i know it is. oh, i just said i can get a jumping. i apologize, but i think absolutely right. instead of going for a peaceful solution, they always go for some sort of conflict. and it,

it seems to be part of the course these days as new american sanction package of targeting china, along with other states, some of the saying it's an attempt by western powers to try and try and split russia and its allies away split russia from china split them from their allies and any truth to that, nelson? no, no, no, exactly. i think you're right. i mean, instead of finding a sensible and practical solution to end the world, many country leaders in europe are trying to put the plane. i'll find that now for us do doing business with the roster and to empower retros economy. we don't even reflecting that china is mother polity to the conflict. and you probably know that china has the right to allow its company is to conduct normal business activity as ways that rushing counterparts just like with anyone else. and now that by launching it's 15, factual sanctions against russia. now even including chinese companies for doing

business with rosco lee, you should've expected to repeat the reactions from china, which is now the biggest trading partner of the u. this is absolutely suicidal and i can probably see the logic behind subtraction and solve the you. well, you're not alone with that nelson. i can assure you of that. you know, it seems to me that when it, when certain western players are going to start to recorded an intervention of freedom and democracy in some poor country around the world they, they, pablo the country with sanctions. they've got the media to pump up some story about a dictator or a dog. then they start a coffee and they bring in the i am after 4 feet high interest loans. you know, it's just that. okay, so they've pummeled russia. russia is the most function of country in the world, and yet the economy is doing great. it's not just surviving. is thriving. a lot of people are saying you're just high enough is next. china is somewhere in the future, across has of america. is there any truth to that, nelson?

and i don't really believe so because i think at the european leaders and, you know, some of the new columns in the, in, in the us are still trying to push the envelope and trying to, uh, you know, to scare people were away as they tried to cross the roger which now they realize it's. busy almost impossible. and then uh they started giving up the warning that the china, china will be the next. and was all the building up of patients in the south side of china. see across the taiwan strait. uh, they're trying to present the inmates that china is the party that is, you know, farming the regional stability but come all this is not true, but they're so the don't like, yeah, exactly. the reality is not like this. i think you're absolutely right nelson, but it's what about narrative, quick example now? so bear with me here. i was speaking with an elderly pensioner in the u. k. the

other day and she said to be, well, we're all very worried about the china threat. and i said, oh, okay, so what, what is the china thread? and this puts you on a said, well, well it's, it's, it's very wiring i, i don't know, but it's very wiring and i said, well, hold on. if it's very wiring, you must understand what is the worries? well well, it's just very wiring. and this is because of the sky news, bbc, a full speed these narratives. and so when you call out the individual, they don't know what to say because the heads off for the chunk. exactly. and that the rp gets blocked in europe in the states. yeah. so yeah, no, i think time will tell. and so now relate to the people, the industry, innocent people will wake up. yeah. one day. so i say everything and i yeah, yeah, i think we're already seeing it in real time slowly but surely small steps. we go, nelson will absolutely

a valid di club experts and vice chairman of shanghai send have a room by the international studies. mr. wong. thank you. so much for your time. thank you. thank with thank you for your time as well. this is off international ally from las go. i'm role research i for me in the entire news team here. thanks for joining us. the the we continue with our aspect on conversations and today we, i did locate that a been gong hills in the rift valley in san. yeah. and certainly we uh, on the windmills and how fitting that we should talk about the energy of the time when energy is going to see the drive lead to be the game change. and when one

talks about the energy on, particularly in the continent of africa, there are many dimensions that one can talk about africa as we know is divided into 50 full countries. some save $55.00. and it is up steps that the even order for africa to enjoy the dividends of the 4th and 5th industrial revolution. energy is going to be unimportant complement. we say this post office did not intimately engage in the dividends of the 1st 2nd and 3rd industrial revolution. many countries in africa today rely on hydro electric power and all of us will know the power stations that to be found in the demo project through 5 bits of phone go in the in, got down in go one in got to under of cost the same as in go $3.00 which never appears to come into fruition.
