the, the the across the headlines or whatnot to international design and my putting coles is as though to, by john a counterpart and expresses condolences for a tragic plane crash that happened on christmas day. almost goes as the initial incident, which occurred in the russian space pushed, triggered by ukrainian drugs at that time, ukrainian drones were launching terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure. the aircraft commander made 2 attempts to land the plane in groves, knee, which were unsuccessful, crushing intelligence listings and laid on washington and london's plans get this to use isis. g hottest to carry out terror attacks on russian bases in syria. also with the programs the value takes its energy dispute with ukraine to a whole new level that's key of says there's just days away from shutting down.

russian gas supplies to europe, park a slab of traction stuff and flip the switch and the power down ukraine. the tensions forwarding here is i've done this on carrot, dr. retaliation stripe again, what it, polls malicious elements of pulse the pack of stony porter, as most nation has trade legs and thousands of killed the white. we all live out loud. it just off the 6 pm here on saturday, and must go because the top stories lined up, of course, with comments. so top story for you this hour here, we're not to rush as president has now spoken with his counterpart in azerbaijan. to discuss the crush of an ad lineup from that country on christmas day. a very short time ago. i was discussing this with our correspondent. yes. and i can e as in coop, it comes at a time that i was a bit. john was of course, carrying out investigations into the incident and we understand the 2 heads of state discuss the scenarios which transpired. and we understand the 2nd stage,

the russian president vladimir present, expressed his condolences to those people that were tragically killed. as a result of that, incidents, as well as expressing his apologies and for the circumstances in which they transpired, we understand the problem that it happened that within russian harris price and the russian president was quite local in ensuring that it was in fact an accident of course, and this is going to be concluded as a result of an investigation that not just doesn't have a job, but the state of russia itself is going to because i'm conducting. but what we understand that there's given time, according to the telephone conversation held between the 2 heads of state, that the airport and the aircraft that was trying to had a land as far as any airport was of course, subject into an area which was being targeted by you, premium drones have tags which triggered russian air defense systems. and as a result of those attacks, the plane was diverted soon because x dot. and then we understand that the events

that transpired from there on was, was of course project. we understand that the aircraft was essentially carrying 67 people. this includes crew members on board, the national, some russia is a big chunk extra and encouraged to start, which also resulted in the death of about $38.00 people. we understand, of course, at this give the moments on friday, the head of rushes, air transport agency issue, the statement suggesting that the pyre of the place probably had tried to live the plain. many times. this is corresponded with eye, witness testimonies from somebody. the passengers on board the as i made on the aircraft. and we understand that at this given points, it was diverted because i started because the aerospace, within the immediate region was close to assistance with these crushing and some of the things in connection with the embry, a plane crash near act. how the russian side immediately informed its cause, act and as a by johnny colleagues of its full and comprehensive of readiness to co operate in the investigation of this tragedy. it is necessary to carefully incomplete to verify all the circumstances of the incident. i would like to note the situation on

that day and during those hours in the area of the girls in the airport and it was very strange things keep what you mean by that time. ukrainian drones were launching terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure in the cities of growth and, and logic of cause you, when you come in. this regard. the sky was closed in the area of the growth in the airport, but new meaning, the aircraft did not fly over the area and she needed a new in addition, there was dense fog and the growth in the airport area. there was no visibility at an altitude of 500 meters was about the aircraft come on. i made 2 attempts to land the plane and girl's name, which was unsuccessful. the commander was offered other apple, it's the if you decided to go to act out apple 2 because there are many different circumstances that need to be jointly investigated due to port. we are fully prepared for this work in co operation with our colleagues. while there has been correspondence between the heads of state of russia and as i made sure we understand, because our professionals are also following the events very closely, we understand there is a forensic investigation that is currently being undertaken. they are working

closely with the resilient manufacturer of member and they will be essentially looking into the data box and part of the into black box is i take into consideration any and all factors before he can provide a clear cut decision as to what really transpired to an in the wake of his apology from food and apologizing that this took place in russian s face any reaction or from as or by john. so from there been a series of interactions for the most part. in the early hours of the incidents, we heard from local news networks suggesting that it's of course and the airplane was shut down by russian air defense systems. not much more information was provided a wish for media outlets for quite quick to jump on that there was no official response from us or by john. however, at that point, and we understand of the only official news that we heard was on thursday and friday, particularly with respect to the chief prosecutor's office, suggesting that they would be conducting investigations into the matter. and then

so then that way everyone shred this, i should be quite complicated and careful about what they say about what happened that day. about the time being, of course, a lot of us have been johnny ministers and been going on this matter as well. and they said that the invest which transpired was a result of external interference assistance. and that preliminary conclusions of experts indicate the presence of external interference. this is confirmed by the appearance of debris on the ground, an eye witness accounts. the crew showed heroism by making an optimal landing, which allowed many passengers on board to be saved. by the time the minister provided that statement, of course, or the general understanding was that also been genres outright to be blaming russia for the advice which classified like. when that official statement came, it provided some sort of i'm headed, missing it's room for discussion for diplomacy, as long as there are per se. but one thing that is important that it can was essentially displayed a ship in tones from those would then also be jobs of governments. and we also

understand them based on the statements provided by the ministers within the states . unless i made john that they are also grateful and thankful for the fact that the pilots were able to make land. also resulting in the fact that of course, most people didn't die as a result of that tragic accident. but some people did make it out alive. all right, have a look right here. we go to exclusive of footage of the finds last 9 months as well as the immediate off them off on the ground west. 38 people, the loose end lives of this video repeating, as you'll see here, damage to the rear side of the panes wing images also to come from inside the cabin shelving holes and the fuselage as oxygen moscow deployed. and then the k l. c majorly. following the crash on which $29.00 people did survive, i'm old pictures will become me to show the planes exterior riddled with holes on the body and the tell us that and you'll see those pictures as they come along here . meantime, a survivor of the crash film, some dramatic scenes once the escape is usually when you need to change

the of the some of the opposing. so one of the i've been discussing this tragedy, but the french reputation expos and form a pilot has taken with alaska. and he says, admittedly, while the investigation is on going, it's important not to prematurely attribute bye a. the fact that present bridging goal, the l. e. s president is the 1st to give you the president that is a human being and gas for the people and eat presenters come to you. i've come to the answers and i'm concerned about the situation which is absolutely. uh, i mean there's, there's no model. i mean, from the average spend the anything else, but the thing is that now there isn't investigation,

none going investigation. and it's very important to remain factual because i have cited to pay the price of less than brass in stock. or if it's accidents. yeah, the last, but we can say is that the western countries, they are everything but the fact to talk to me about this ukranian drone attack, i understand the fight was on his way to check to see if a couldn't make landing that. because as we understand there were these ukrainian drones warm types is the link there for you serial may have or maybe a bad objection. not for events. yeah. craft army name, the drones coming in the carfax, the decision that the state gun. but the practice already on the space, so what i was doing, let me try to them that actually have to do we move somewhere else. but we'll say that. 6 well, it was showing that the, all right, in their 1st house on the muster spell,

it was not good weather and also so get them. they have taken the decision to try to land and find a ride into the medium boxes said, well items seem to run when so go around. yeah. use. yeah. and this, this, this was, this is uh, is uh, is it like a chain reaction? so once again, there is an investigation not doing boost to do. we need to stick to the facts and, and i'm sorry to say this, but reasons why we strictly the sexual is that we cannot leave space to any kind of speculation like the west the media are doing because the 1st thing that is doing is that the arts using brush out to have shut down the background. nobody is what i can find. it is at a time it is possibly out here at moscow. just try and get your head around this because rushes for an intelligent service says american, and british special services are prepping for terror attacks on russian military

bases in syria of the outgoing us administration in the u. k. leadership following the over throw of syrian president assad aimed to prevent a situation in syria from stabilizing. this, however, is hindered by russia's military presence on syria's mediterranean coast. in order to remove this obstacle, the british intelligence services are developing plans to organize a series of terrorist attacks on the russian military facilities in syria. the role of the perpetrators is assigned to the militants of the ices terrace group, who have recently been released from prison by the new authorities. because we've been hearing at the c rushes far and intelligent service equal at the british m. lasix c. a. who would have a lot of eyes and ears on the ground. and so you're saying that at the british, i'm the, the us are planning to attack russian military infrastructure in syria. now it's important to note that in, during the co ops of bush,

alice adds regime susan's of radicals. you had his staff litres, isis lighters were released from prisons wholesale and they would have joined with various melisha. so they're back on the streets posing of are you see a trend? the allegation is that there's evidence that these people are going to be used to attack russian infrastructure in syria. now what's also interesting is that the, your has evidence that the british on the us are supplying attacks drones. you'd imagine how would a sort of a ramshackle militia attack a standing army will attack drones, would be used to target russian vehicles, etc. that's have a listen to the yes, we all have to say in that regard, representatives of the british intelligence service m i 6 and the american c. i a recently task isis field commanders based in syria, with carrying out a series of attacks on russian military basis. to carry out this dirty work,

the terrace had been given an attack you a bees in order to conceal their involvement in the planned isis attacks. the us and british military commanders have instructed their air forces to continue to strike isis positions of which the militants are being notified in advance. so as you can see, yeah, quite well, pull it out, continued to bomb, apparent position devices, but notifying the regional local commanders in advance to make sure it looks like the us and great britain are targeting isis terrace. but in fact, actually working with the, against the russians, the new foreign policy chief of the european union, could you call us renown for her rosa phobic of use, an urgent anti russian. not only in europe, not already a new frame, but also now it seems on the world stage representing the view that essentially the new syrian government. if it could be called out. remember that we're still seeing significant attacks on minorities like the yellow white effect of which bus are on

the sides finally belong to on the ground. a lot of chaos, a lot of the fighting, a lot of wireless and ms. carlos, i said, you know, basically this is an opportunity for the you to make sure the rushes influence in the interior is a, you know, extrapolated and pushed forward, it's pushed out of the country. and you know that some of these thoughts, you actually have to say about that. it will comments regarding syria. russia's influence in syria must end. the fall of a side is a clear sign that russia is weekends. and it is now up to the international community to help guide syria toward a future free from extremism and foreign domination. many foreign ministers took this up to say that, you know, it should be a condition for the new leadership that they also get rid of the russian influence there. because it is a base where they also conduct their activities towards africa and southern neighbors. so again, you quite aggressive, essentially saying to the new syrian, a policies look, if russia stays,

we will be putting our foot on your neck essentially regarding aid regarding cooperation that we've had similar language. remember in you members is like a whole re victor of i'm told that the funding will be cut off if you didn't degree the funds. you claim we've had georgia sanctions. so the quite aggressive now in funding to exploit the situation in syria, this vacuum, and of course, the russians suggest that this is all about trying to remove russia, stabilizing influence in syria to ensure that whatever chaos the west has in plan for us, that can go ahead on hinder. yeah, with the journalists, as long as under then we were discussing a russian presence in syria, which at the end of the day for news, has basically drawing a spanner in the works for western actors. and perhaps more importantly, there, i'm vision across that region, the hey ones to the civilized. what i said, the middle east and especially syria, they want to drive out the russians because,

you know, that's a form in their eyes. the russia is still, they're having their basis since a long, long time. and we'll know that the west is. yeah, they say a russia, you know, wants to a text your wants to attack the west. and also we know the dividing it ministration will go out in 12 few weeks. but of course i personally don't, has any hope of the new administration, because we know old as the trunk administration wants to destabilize the middle east even more. so we have no service in from sydney. well that's there. recently, i also rented africa is also another from. so this is the aim of the u. s. and the with a 12 piece that will head you money. and this is what they are trying to do, and especially in the middle east, they are still into oil from syria, also from iraq since many, many years already since they actually ok projects. and yeah, this is your amos, the aim also to several, let's do this of allies,

russia. so who has the big leverage? what's the vacuum announced? it's going to consider measures against ukraine. if kid blocks the transit of russian gas does look like you, get this on top of the list, tony of the line in the you guys keep it as you guys, evans keep a decent assigned me to your cleaning and presidents. so lensky announced at the summit in brussels that ukraine will not transport any gas to slovakia after 1st of january 2025. he says he will not allow slovakia or anyone else simply to pay russia, store gas to fund russian war spending. notice i understand that for selfish political reasons, i know the west gives you almost everything you ask for that. losing is what i am not your servant to cannot express his own opinion to that and who is obliged only to help you and expect nothing from you. if this happens, we will stop the supply of electricity which ukraine urgently needs in case of

network outages and course, or we will agree on another method and we'll give it. we'll see it is our tells you that robert feed so on the line that the lucky is from russian gas will hit the flow back on the european economies. the hottest object here, he said preface offers annual revenue from russian gas prices. amounts to half of the, lia nero's a year so well, considering that financial hit by about 5 minutes to reveal the behind closed doors . so that's the problem is attempt to repeat this some in 2025, but nothing was on pocket. no, but from frozen russian assets sees in europe. but there was a catch surprise, surprise. you would only get paid of stock. you agreed to support ukraine's ascension to nate. so which of course feed, so for few of this comes on the heels of the slides like 5 minutes to a surprise visit right here to moscow for adults with that man, right? the bottom of food and basically becoming the foot west and leader to meet the russian president since the kick off of ukraine about 3 years ago. and it's only about 5 minutes to said russia is committed to continuing energy cooperation with

your a meeting today was a response to ukrainian president zalinski who answering my personal question on thursday, said that he was against any transit of gas through ukraine to our territory. the ukrainian president is also in favor of sanctions against russia's nuclear program, such attitudes, financially harm slovakia and threatening the electricity production in nuclear power plants in slovakia, which is unacceptable other in the program i was speaking with stephanie guy. i choose the research or the institute of european studies in belgrade, and he says robot fits, that was simply acting in the best interests of his p in what state is doing. so she is strengthening his own country. by doing so, i think that he is weakening. 2 this. 2 global is the agenda from the bronsels. what is how think this is? of course,

the recent elections in the united states because the leaders like feed so and on the on are those who were praised by the new president's the present, the life of the old trump. so all with all of this, so like it has the strength to actually stands is ground when it comes to the bible, the national interest such as energy mean is really strong graphic i, i love this, i love, this is coming, you know, from feed. so, you set does it lensky. he said, i am not your serve and i have my own opinion. i don't have to be obliged to help you in any way. although the west keeps giving you what ever you want. talk about not towing the policy lines, deaf on talk about ruffling the fabulous of brussels and london and washington. and like you said, there was a reason assassination attempt on for you to in the west and political the media establishment really. but not shocked at all. and as you even alluded to, but potentially even disappointed,

it wasn't successful. do you thing with this energy, you know, guess stand off, do you think kids will be just better off? just leave the taps open. the gas will flow to your sponsors by the way, an electricity will flow to your capital city. what's i mean that is logic, right? so there is logic, but when we talk about the behavior of key of, we can never really know what they're going to do. because of this hassle entitlements that was given to them by the collective west, the by the media and machinery, by everybody at one point in february, march 2022. so this sense of i'll take forcing 5 women still lives there. and i believe that zillow is key, and people ruling good kids are actually surprised. they're actually sucked here. uh, soft words from

a quote unquote insignificant country as insignificant leader in their eyes. or before we joined our guest here on the program at all for all of the deal and soon to be president again, donald trump seems to be looking to merge business with paula. apparently he's got a sites on greenland and is taking it upon himself to put the largest island on us for sale, i guess because that one's gonna price right? well, not so far says the entire e u block. we just told the next us needed a state in hayes lane for now before you on august his all to use rachel most in washington has a kind of relationship with other countries that a lot of women in the dining role can really relate to what uncle sam wants something from you, then you're either just going to have to give it up willingly, or he's going to just camp out on your front lawn with some of his pals and heavy weaponry until you change your mind or until you just move out. so that he can move on in and make himself at home and raise your fridge and your valuables. but incoming us president elect donald trump is showing

a much more direct approach in some recent social media trolling thing. straight up that he really just loved to grab greenland by the you know, what? because us allies really just let you do whatever they want with them. if you're uncle sam for purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world. the united states of america feels that the ownership and control of greenland is an absolute necessity. surely it has nothing to do with great lives, massive assets, or all the talk about the us wanting to get its hands on the overseas territories. rare earth minerals. no, of course not, is just for national security and world freedom purposes. trump sad, which is kind of like a guide to ring themselves on you in a club and saying that he's only doing it because he's really attracted to your intellect. finally, a us president though who's refreshing late on this, his son, eric trump, even chimed in with

a post about how trump's christmas shopping list also consists of canada and the panama canal to other entities that clearly have absolutely no economic appeal at all. it's all just about keeping america safe. well, at least the isn't even trying to be subtle about the fact that he wants something, denmark of which dreamland is an autonomy. his territory responded by basically promising to toss some cash at trump, saying that the boost defense spending to at least 1300000000 euros in the interest stub, stronger arctic presence. now you better believe some of that money is going to be thrown at trump. for us weapons, it's based is really telling him, please don't break down my door and take my girl because i'll give you something else that you might want instead. breeland's prime minister. meanwhile, said the quote freeman belongs to the people of greenland. yeah, well my body, my choice probably isn't the strongest argument to make to trump of all people. the you is already in a relationship with 3 mind as an overseas territory with you,

you citizens living there, but as usual, they just sit there watching like a total coupled wall. uncle sam does whatever he wants with their interests. i can offer you a quick reply. we do not comment on comments. trump's nominated ambassador to denmark has said that he looks forward to quote, deepening the bonds between the us and denmark. you know, so those times the power of diplomacy to advance american interests and strength and alliances. i look forward to working with the dedicated teams at u. s. embassy, copenhagen and u. s. consulate nukes in greenland to deepen the bonds between countries. okay, so he wants to work on those bonds partly from the u. s. consulate in greenland, which may as well just be, attend on her front lawn at this point. and it looks like the you will just welcome him right into the front door and even offer some snacks while trump wing man and bassinger works on stealing green lambs, considerable natural treasures and wealth right from under their noses. we'll

certainly want to talk about this more now with a political strategists and coming to anthony web. and i was joining us from lester in the u. k. in about half past 3 in the afternoon and to be great to get you on the program. this story just keeps on giving. i don't know if it's just it's a typical trump. the last uh oh oh, is it easy serious about i don't know the us taking control of greenland. can you help me get my head around this? well, i don't really uh, it's not that straightforward. i think what your previous correspondence that is correct. that's a great and the direction essential rule of materials. those i side to have a big partial deposits of oil and gas. uh, but that was the security aspect as well. um, if you go back in saw him in the 80 to 60 surface, the united states votes alaska from russia. i'm the same sort of time by way of

trying to purchase straight minds iceland from denmark. so this is going to a very long history. i've been invited and going to 7 feet in the lots of space sports uh wants to now the uh, american voucher to hire these because fault is that the old lady was of i say, uh uh, take why oh wait. time is like previously pots. uh, full freelance. uh so he, it's a very complicated situation where i started 2 sites. i have goals have another pre bicep, flew in north in greenland, but getting back to the cold google, they actually have 50 basis. and there's a, there's a lot going on in terms of countries like china, one se, invest in, in greenland. and um, uh,

i think uh donald trump is since the registration will be sending 2003. this is also a new uh, sent already because the united states have been interested before. uh, getting back to the 2nd ball boulevard or fax, or if we invite you to the grades of our i'm because it, this positive denmark. and there i say 3 because denmark have beaten so i cannot provide jennifer 8 uh they will effectively belong to the government which, which is alt capehart. i'm but the same she, i've been with i slipped british forces invited iceland independent from dunbar sitting on g o. c full for the rest of them, but for the rest of it. so sort of jumping out today. i really appreciate what you're saying. but the rhetoric is something i mean look okay. so trumpet spoke about buying greenland before. he's also talking about taking control of the panama canal just about a week or so ago,

the prime minister of canada just intruder was admire long ago. the trump residents in florida, and trump basically said to him, kind of rips off america for a 100000000000 a year. i'm going to call you govern a true diode and kind of should be america's 50 foot states. i've got notes on your thoughts on that. yes that, that, that is all very true. there are fig. um the, the canadian, a 100 miles situation went come about. but if we go back to our agreement, is it set up our can, i guess for the 1 february, uh, uh, in terms of the military security, cuz there is a motor trades or friends uh, agreement with denmark on green lines. uh, excuse me, i suppose if i want to add more security already for that. uh but i could just repeat that offer to that month because i, i think you've got something like 3 days. hey, greg and dependents may have been sitting 3 months and i are saying i have the ones

who decide these things. yeah, i suspect that some of our company really will not because the site incense but they take us islands in the, in the 90 ship a, b, c. i like this. we ship ship ship don't hold the islands aside. they could be another cheap price bill, right? surprised, i think a lot of people probably started trust the american intentions. i can see the bar. right. so continuing with the concept charging shipment, please send me or, or something this go on to denmark, a box. i think i can see more american investments in defense in green land 100 pools. so it's not entirely surprising. i think he started jumping again, but economic interest military interest. just let's add one more to the 850 american bases worldwide because well.
