8:00 am
so that's the, it is breaking news and a mass casualties in new orleans 10 people are killed in dozens wounded as a pickup truck flowers through pucks crowds on the street. and the firefight breaks out between the police and the driver. brushing the gas transit to europe through ukraine is no more. t upset was the deal leaving nation slice that opt you. i'm old of, of hon. the new you a kicks off in the dead of winter. and 9 the countries joining the rings. old briggs partners as brazil vows to make their integration a priority. during his 2025 presidency. the
8:01 am
well, the opening out to 2025 of not go down to well in new orleans, i got a big, easy shape. i was just going to tell us more in just a moment because we all kicking off this new our with breaking news for you right here. lie from moscow. we have this done. now. 10 people have been killed and dozens injured off for a cop flowed through new year's celebrations in new orleans. this type, the dive deeper of the story. now with all these are shape voters are joining us here in the studio. and this can you bring us up to speed show you what do we know so far? yeah, well uh, another terrifying incident again with the vehicle being used as a weapon of mass destruction essentially awful. of course, people are celebrating in new orleans famous party, a city famous for the mardi gras. anyone who has been to new orleans knows and they'll also know bourbon street, the street, which is famous for it's for dentistry and nature that people can rabble along there. all night it's the party topical if you like a new orleans that's 320. uh sorry, excuse me. now we know this 34 like people at least injured,
8:02 am
and sadly in this terrible situation where the vehicle pleasure to have had those numbers can wrap them the escalate. we know at least 10 people have been killed at the local police chief tells us that most of those people are local, not taurus to police officers. i've also been shut off in this firefight which erupt it with this uh, driver of this vehicle. we don't know his or her wellbeing. now we don't know if they're alive or dead, whether they were killed in any direction. an improvised explosive device is also found in the vehicle whether they were viable or not. again, the police chief was unable to confirm on the f. b. i have been called in and they are going to take over. so let's have a listen to the police chief on the, the updating on the situation of this per, per trader who went around our bare cage in order to conduct those. he was held down on creating the carnage and the damage that he done. this is not
8:03 am
a terrorist event. uh, what it is right now, is there an improvised explosive devices that was found? um and we are working on confirming if this is a viable device or not, you know, so again, all to familiar. uh, uh or less as be learned. yeah. you know, i, the years ago i have to live down the road from the, i mean to bubble street, many times, particularly during mardi gras in the february, march of every year. i've been there a number of times is always a very high police presence. the very often because it's mostly a pedestrian street. the police are one horses. and one of the times i was there a very in a great amount in front of me. i've watched him just slug the holes. he punched the policeman's horse. so the police went, jumped off, beat him up, or then took him off the prison. i mean, you talk about revelers, that it's, it's always mass celebrations that which you, which crowds as well. and yet, here we have what a couple of weeks ago, a somewhat similar incident taking place in that german city was not the boat. we also had a call being used as, as you said, a weapon of mass destruction. the tragically,
8:04 am
the christmas market and like the burg follies, people killed their hundreds of people injured. you know, and again, we see these vehicles seemingly uh, being able to get around the barriers now. the police chief in new orleans has said, looks the got around. i've already, she actually said that today and the aftermath of this. so it's really shocking to think that these lessons aren't being learned, apparently about these type of attacks that we we've also been told that this is not a terrorist attack per se, but i'm sure it was pretty terrifying for the people who were injured or witness. what's happened again to fight that is not a terrace motivated attack. it doesn't diminish the impact on the old me civilians who are suffering these attacks. and you've got to ask yourselves, why are these less? there's nothing like wire security officials, not really thinking twice about allowing huge gatherings of somebody else, you know, here in red square last night, they close to that square and for the new year celebration is a big christmas market. again, better safe than sorry, people that a great night,
8:05 am
they close it. so prevention is better than a cure saying that the car with around the barriers is one thing, but that's a small consolation for the people who have been killed and their families today. new year's day, roy i really believed or cynical effect. oh, it's just an awful way to kick off the new. yeah. so, so we understand what 10 people died about. so he injured 2, policemen, which shot their reportedly found, improvised explosive devices or device in the vehicle of the perpetrator will get more details as they come to us era, shy bows. thank you all ukraine's that decision to stop the transfer of russian gas to europe. it came into force on wednesday, jeopardizing supplies of the commodity to several key e. u. member states, particularly stock you nearby. and although by seems to be following keeps footsteps with a similar gas black males scheme, let's learn more sharply how contributor is ritual mazda. so that can prime minister robert pizza made a hail mary, pass in the final seconds of 2024 in an attempt to keep the russian pipeline gas
8:06 am
flowing into europe through his country. the e. u has made a sort of economic suicide packs with t. as for it to shut off the tap on cheap rushing gas trends, new across ukraine. it into the use starting on january 1st and see to address the letter to european commission president and defacto european. queen ursula vander line in a last ditch effort to try getting her to pull out of the economic dest spiral into which she's plunged labatt, kids and europeans more generally. and he figured that he'd do that by tried to explain to her that depriving russia of pipeline gas revenues isn't quite the wind that she thinks it is if it results in taking the european economy. unilateral suspension of the gas transit via ukraine to slovakia, will cost europe and citizens, businesses and infrastructure. tens of billions of euro's each year. and ukraine
8:07 am
almost 800000000 euros. the losses for russia will amount to only about 2000000000 euros. that's just 3 percent of all the loss is cost to the use. 27 member states of russia will easily place that small amount of gas on other markets. so the amount of loss is for russia may be close to 0. the tacit acceptance of the unilateral decision by the ukranian president is absolutely irrational and wrong. it will lead to tensions and reciprocal measures. for this reason, i ask you, not only on behalf of the slovak republic, but above all, on behalf of the entire european union to pay due attention to this unprecedented situation and attached urgent importance to it seems the key of has taken a page from washington's play book and figures that if they can turn off the tap on the ease energy, then it means potentially a wonderful new customer for them. the ceo of kias state own natural gas actually
8:08 am
said, quote, when you print live rates, the south and gains control is that for risha nuclear power plants, the balance of electrical energy in ukraine will be very positive if we recover all the energy production in ukraine. we will immediately be a significant export or europe's power bank. yeah. and if i could just have buckingham palace, then i could be queen of england kind of a problem where all the resources are on territory held by russia or close to the front lines. so yeah, good luck with that. in the meantime though, hoping, wishful thinking are suppose to fuel the european economy, i guess, which is at least the change from trying to rely on southern wind, although not much of a change feed. so has reacted to ukraine cutting off so that he has pipeline gas with some hardball of his own as well as suggesting that he's not just some kind of lackey who has to just fall in line and gives lewinski whatever he wants to the detriment of. so that can interest what can i ask you for the key for these now
8:09 am
some of the ukrainian presidents zalinski announced at the summit in brussels that ukraine will not transport any gas to slovakia after 1st of january 2025. and if he says he will not allow slovakia or anyone else simply to pay russia or gas to fund russian war spending. no, i understand that for selfish political reasons. i know the west gives you almost everything you ask for now. losing is what i am not your servant who 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. would you let me see it? but before all the threats were being tossed around, there were also the bribes. because, of course, there were, we're talking about ukraine here. this was back in for an ministry accused zalinski of tried to stray dot grease slovak in palms using rushes,
8:10 am
money. ukrainian president zelinski recently presented an absurd proposal during the december european council meeting to purchase slovakia is consent to nato membership, not with ukraine's own resources, as such. consent is not for sale, but with assets seized from russia. now he threatens slovakia with the european union of which ukraine is not yet a member. such approaches could quickly back fire on ukraine itself. the government of the slow back republic has a duty to defend primarily the strategic interest of our country, our citizens, and the european union. it will act accordingly, regardless of whether the ukrainian side approves or not. meanwhile, another, a country is facing a gas tap set off on january 1st. it also has relied on gas pipe from russia
8:11 am
through ukraine, which t of and you have now cut off. and it was easy for this country to extra other countries like so that the who relied on ukraine translated rushing gas because this the country, moldova had an alternative supply of rushing gas. we're talking about the gas pipe from russia, into the pro russian separatist enclave of trans mystery. a by a company called mold dover, gas, half owned by rushes, gas drum and a 3rd by and both of us. but my daughter just stopped paying its bills. and in the process has racked up a $700000000.00 debt and well, anyone can play along at home here and try that for themselves with their own gas company and just see what happens to their gas supply. oh, and if they cut you off, just tell the gas company that you own their buds and see how that goes. and that's what they'll do is now doing actually by twain with the idea of nationalizing a russian asset that belongs to gas from which would still require parliamentary
8:12 am
approval. so again, let's see how that turns out. so basically the west is stealing interest on russian investments to pay zalinski. zalinski is reportedly using it to try bribing his way into nato with some of that. yeah. you cranes, stealing russian or even pro russian assets through nationalization. $48000000.00 worth in the case of one particular oligarchy. moldova is now trying to steal the gas company that belongs to russia, so it doesn't have to pay its energy bills. wow, sounds like 2025 is starting out on a real high note for the democratic values can well here we were speaking with the chairman of the story about patriot potty and he said that countries national interests have to be respected. currently, as he says, the you only cares about looking after savanski. so that's what we do as for possible assistance from brussels, i think the approach will be $5050.00. there was no answer yet,
8:13 am
but i think their answer will be that another alternative for gas supplies is possible. for example, church stream or gas from the us. but let's think who would buy a car, for example, for a 1000 years when he could buy it for a 100 years. of course it is possible to find an alternative, but how can slovakia is economy which stands such an approach? no one considers this, but these are logical economic questions. the present in prime minister must work in such a way that it is economically good for their own country, not for zalinski or the us on our own. national interest must be respected. of course the interest of the us are good, but there are also the interest of other countries. for example, the interest of russia in china and the interest of slovakia. but it seems to me that europe is now dominated by zelinski interest. for 60 years there was oil and gas here, everything was fine. even when there were problems between the us and the soviet union, or between us and the soviet union. and still there were energy resources coming in
8:14 am
. what is the problem now? the problem is the landscape. you should not believe him. he is not doing anything good for ukraine, or anyone else, only for himself and may be for the us. he has never done and will never do anything good for ukraine. the brooks nations, us king pos and is the multi potable continues to grow. a total of 9 states of acquired the staff is in the alliance. i believe bruce, malaysia, because x don, among others, i'm present old, which has taken over the clubs of presidency from russia. it says integration of the total group is its top priority. one of our priority tasks during the presidency is to make bricks partners feel part of the association. it is important to insure their involvement. they will participate in the foreign ministers meetings, as well as in the 2025 summit. the other i was speaking with a parent guest here on the program of essentially guests from these new brick spots
8:15 am
in the countries and they say the block has much to offer economically unlike some older pock. the french can benefit do much a lot. i mean like it's and then once you find them, you can read investments, breaks down over individual fossil voice. and alicia individual always wanted to, you know, change the global governance so far. and then the 2nd half, you know, access to, you know, going back to them being great in my big, there's a lot of things that was going on, but mostly economic diversification and resilience. secondly, accessed the new markets and technologies. certainly, opportunities for federal financial tools that really is a need in the global cut in global joy, economic geo political situation and focus on mutual development. one of the rules of the brakes family is no brakes member can sanction another briggs men. but meantime, we've got the president elect, donald trump,
8:16 am
who is about to re assume his position in the overall face. he's come out saying is particularly towards briggs. if you guys heard the american dollar while trying to diversify, i'm going to stop a 100 percent terrace on you guys. uh as when uh, how do you read into the, the west like one of these issues going down right now. be like going to be z o u k . um, canada they have so many problems by right now, so it's actually compromised with the joining the join, the new members is going to be like 40 percent of the hobby sites, but it can be very anything but the sites and this very big, huge bulk of ablation, melisha is a trading nation, and they've, that's been since has been dependent. and we have continued to take with everyone, but it must be done in the fed as possible way, i think, for all is on 5, the us dollars as at the, as a global hegemony. global financial heads up money to many countries and therefore
8:17 am
it is time for a bricks, bricks, nation, and the rest of the was thinking about the most people. i even existence either let us come up with an ultimate these financial system saying that governments would simply be uh to out the trade into one. and then he says, the president has gone against the western concept of a neo liberal economy. he says instead that his country has a well established system already in which the government actually surprisingly puts the people 1st. the founders, the indonesian nation, did not adopt as new liberalism. the government is not just a referee. the government is responsible, it must be a protector. of the people in our current understanding of the economy, it is mandatory and appropriate to call our economy a pinterest seal, the economy, pinterest. usually economics is a combination of the best, a free market understanding the best of plans economics provided was to be that was not in the west's favorite politician before becoming an easiest president last
8:18 am
year. and he made a few similar attempts before and those did end up in vain. the claims of the western powers actually sought to prevent him from winning that election live and i'll talk, corresponded to rebecca in a bit of food or has this report from jakarta in one of the nation's most significant political events of the year. then defense minister, but most of them, so in march as the winner of the countries 2024 presidential election partnering with you. but i'm black. i'm moving to that guy. the peer secure, a decisive victory, capturing 58 percent of the felts of younger, declared his victory after a quick count as preliminary ballot counts at voting stations nationwide gave him a significantly over the other 2 rivals. the running mates were not expecting a window according to sylvia until suffice presidential running, mate, keep them back. i will be back. i will praise to use for putting their trust in the pair. we did not expect the results from the quick counts to be this high,
8:19 am
i am sure it is a high number because the kids are all young. young people who want to be part of the journey to indonesia is gold. we will protect and defend all indonesian prayers, regardless of ethnic groups, regardless of race, ethnicity, or social background. all the people of indonesia will be our responsibility to safeguard their interests. this victory should be a victory for all the people of indonesia. it's been a long road for sylvia, and it's taking the leader 3 tries to secure this particular seats his previous fits in 20142016. let the former president joke. oh, we don't. i'm warranting him defense minister. what order to stumbling blocks of previous years? well, western media, her own human rights, which is ations at presidents of young people throughout his campaigns. this man has been accused of crimes against humanity, abducting pro democracy activists impulse the timing victory into election. bobo
8:20 am
has been a staple of indonesian politics for decades and is a controversial figure. and he has been accused of human rights abuses during indonesia is dictatorship during the country. the authoritarian regime pro was accused of major human rights abuses including overseeing the abduction of democracy activists. bella is a complex di, he has a very dock, fast western media. please provide any evidence. allegations of human involving have never been taken to court or either simply part, the accusations remain nothing more than talk. the narrative suddenly changed after he assumed the role of the defense minister in 2019 under president bill clinton, george w. bush and bar off obama. to be on the list for a bit from visiting to united states. that band was quickly lifted when he came in and he shows minister of defense without any comments made about decisions. in fact,
8:21 am
washington soon try to use prep voice visit to the us for its own agenda after should be until the visit to washington back in august 2023. the pontiff on population water calls press release attribute it to jakarta. the statement was highly critical of moscow and b, j. b shared the view that the people's republic of china is expensive. maritime claims in the south china sea are inconsistent with international law as reflected in the united nations convention on the law of the see secretary austin, and administer pro jointly condemned violations of national sovereignty. as reflected in united nations general assembly resolution, which deplores in the strongest terms the aggression by the russian federation against ukraine and the demands it's complete and unconditional withdrawal from the territory of ukraine. but in a twist, sylvia publicly denied the statement saying no such an agreement or release had
8:22 am
been authorized by indonesia. the incident spark debate over miscommunication and diplomatic protocol raising question about a curacy authentic on claim. there was no joint statement and no press conference. what is important for me to underline and is that our relationship with china is very good. we respect each other. we already have mutual understanding. i convey the in the us, we are close friends with china. we respect america, and we seek friendship with russia. no problem will still be and occupies innovations highest office, and he's an aggravation speech of the countries a president. he's had a tone of anti colonialism, sovereignty and self sufficiency. so beyond the emphasizes that indonesia will always say to it's free and after foreign policy, we want to be friends with all countries. however, we have principles, our principles, the principle of anti colonialism. because we have experienced colonialism, we are against oppression because we have been oppressed and his words weren't just
8:23 am
symbolic. after only a few months in office to be and though has upfront any interest, asi and membership small also for showing brick. his 1st foreign trip after winning the election was to meet chinese president sees in pink. moscow was also high on the den president, you'll expire until this. after meeting russian president vladimir to put in. so be on the, on the line that his it was coming, administration would maintain ties with its great friends, adding that he hold for a stronger cooperation on defense, energy, and education. we consider russia as a great friend. i would like to continue to maintain and enhance this relationship in our history. we remember russia has always helped us in many aspects when we were in difficulties this why so many attempts to discrete him ahead of the elections and an agents made their choice, clear? electing the leader they believed best for for sunset. their vision for the nation . know in office will be on file is charging
8:24 am
a pass firmly rooted in any nation interest, st. true to his promise off a soft from an independent foreign policy on the church, by outside pressures. maybe gonna be the full reporting from part out for our team . let's take this go with us as well as an out with the doctor mohammed at my roof or the director of the global thing cause it's through now joining us live from sort of how to indonesia. i talked to thank you very much for coming on the program, be greatly appreciate your call my tree on this. if you listen to the said the sentiment of the rhetoric from a so if you have the profile, you listen to a correspond interest. there. there are some that are suggesting that india, indonesia rather doesn't want a western style economy and he isn't the new user and our partner status with bricks. how would you read between the lines, dr. okay, thank you. early. uh, happy new year, too late. okay, mr. the problem with our price is now good press the 10 actually address that uh, new leave without a quote to me. he knows and about calling me out
8:25 am
a quote on me. so we have, we have an expedient beth expedited to colonialism for the 150 years. so basically the bonds as he let emerge from that historic effect. so the, the bravo eh, didn't mention from the know a m p, and did it thought a lot for the rates are based on the story go fact. and i think mr. pratt, but well, in that location, want to remind the governor on the he certainly does. he have all of the hopefully she'll should remind disputed of the constitution. what does the constitution find? does eli in the 4th pam but said that that a pond does a lot like good instead of so cotton, the address in the unit unit didn't mention 5 guiding principles, should be a guideline on that aspect. and economy on late you on the, on the aspect. so i a bunch as a, is an ideal of the, of the state should be as a,
8:26 am
in the lead. this is a problem because we have a uh, identity uh for a guideline of a nation. and the states and uh, should be there as they did this is according to oakland citizen. so well plan a corner me is again a new live without a calling on me. so if the, if you're talking about the ability brought a good we of course of both sides with the speed of our constitution. that's interesting, that when you talk about the, you know, a new liberal west in economy, when it comes that when it comes into these are they look at it as being a kind of colonial economy in that sense when it comes to outside influences. and as you said, the colonial past history hopefully teach in people's relevant lessons today. but do you think we have um, it easiest move to the breaks as, as a partner state that does that represent provide, was economic, an ideological position. all this, it's quite a move. would you say?
8:27 am
yes, of course. like i said, they get a quote on me is only a pot of money, fish. that's an of a bill of go funds. i see a lot. so it should be a couch or a couch. or a bees on bundle sheila, while it is based on funds, does he like on a mac based on funds? dessler 3 got a thing. introduce that as a foot member of a but it's, i mean a pop to not yeah. for january. first, it is an old put in a new wave of indonesia under the leadership of probable because a breed has a mix. it while it that'd be failure. we had them one has to be our constitution, right? number one, equality and a spread to other countries, not the thing in any kind of relations. and we hope that the funds us a lot become a guidance indonesia that will make a actual now a way to do for a lot of our nation and state. and of course in some of a coding on me we,
8:28 am
we want to develop because it is a part of the, the good of the states and then nathan, uh, judy, according to him, is that possible? right? so certainly we are, but we see this, you know, increasingly more and more countries adjoining, alternative, economic blogs. the looking with caution towards the west standards, financial institutions. why all nations of the global south, for example, so wary about southern western partners. because we know that we have the diffusion of a calling on the, the, the, the, not the, not the concrete and the saw to come to is it the proof that the sod content like indonesia is to become a poor and poor? because i defy, did the of dick also colonialism? you add, we made it to pounds. are politically thinking odd, call true to the western block. and you know that this set of blocks, which is the lead to, uh, is united states is only a profit. obviously she said there are many pools in this word there. uh it tying
8:29 am
uh in the rise. yeah. not a mika as young and all 3 garden. it is as part of a because the family of the word. so i think entities that the full of full price you didn't proud but why using a ton of funds of july as a breeds to money 1st. the money 1st. yeah. funds us the law in the created the fairly off of the street. and of course, we hope that the, the, this out at peace if it this out also not people in the nation and i am as a month in the nation. want that in the news that said he was late. yeah. use this kind of spotless has become i quote, respect and introduce that. i hope that i have or as a, you know, i'll put the need be to be advised. com to the economic, the like a china i thought someone having about who is the director of the global think is instead of joining us from sort of how does an amazing has been
