10:01 am
partners with brazil, vows to make their integration one of his top priorities during the 2025 presidents . the 5 ad worldwide with the video, a lined up right here, it's audience. and straight to the breaking news where you this hour with the updates included, at least 10 people killed and dozens wounded. when a pickup truck rammed into a crowd in the us city of new orleans authorities, or the perpetrator was killed in exchange of gunfire with police. well, caesar shaped, but without joining us or in the studio for the latest on this, the updates keep on coming in to show you what's. what's the very latest you can give us now? well, the latest the numbers, of course, in these events, when a vehicle bounce into a huge crowd of revelers, of course, where it happened in new orleans. this is a party place. this is a place where people celebrate might be glad anyone has been to new orleans knows this street bourbon street. it's a desperate, nice street. and that's critical to this story. this vehicle a pick up truck, very powerful vehicle. remember plowing into hundreds of people. we know dozens are
10:02 am
injured, we know at least 10 or dad and savvy on these occasions. we do see these numbers rising. so interestingly, the perpetrator is being reported as of being killed, shot dead by police and to shoot out which happened in the aftermath of him robbing this vehicle into the craft. 2 police officers injured and all you these improvised explosive devices having being found in the vehicle. whether or not they were viable or not. we don't know so far as what we have heard, the local police chief on the f b. i talking about the situation. interesting stuff, let's have a list of this perpetrator 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. there, improvised explosive devices that was found. and we are working on confirming if
10:03 am
it's a viable device or not. so also we've got a local media in the us suggesting that the f b i, he's now investigating this as a terrorist inside investigating it as a terrorist incident. so 7 said it is a parents and, but they are investigating and that suggests that this may be more sinister than it for. yeah, you definitely gotta read between the lines of material on this show. yeah. um, you know, just a couple of weeks ago i was in a similar vehicle running instead of in germany at a christmas market. i guess how do you, how do you prevent someone from doing something like this? yeah, i mean, mike burge, a terrible attack. again, this happened on new years eve, people are enjoying themselves the most cynical, vulnerable people, people celebrating and events like the people in germany. tragically killed, you know, hundreds of people injured in germany by one individual and a vehicle very difficult to protect. a huge groups of people. now you trust me here in moscow for new years eve, they close the local, the christmas packet at the center of, of moscow. better safe than sorry. and you know, personally,
10:04 am
i think that's the way to go better to close these events if there's any kind of threat of terrorism or a camera tax on the authorities here in moscow did. so it'll open again today and on. we go, what it seems that the lessons haven't been learned to place like mike to berg, we saw speed of these attacks in europe. 152-015-2016. nice folks used around people on the sea front. the nice people tailed, again it again was these people have forgotten about these attacks and the states, it seems people aren't watching what's happening in europe. and again, a single individual in a vehicle has been able to inflict terrible carnage on innocent civilians. and again, there's going to be questions answered, that need to be answered. now the police, you did say this individual went around our barriers. she was hired to be saying that, but that doesn't give any solace if you liked to the family. so we're kind of going to be asking, how could this of happen to get? yeah, exactly, so many grieving people in our louisiana today, this or this attack of the f. b. i not calling it an act of terror was suddenly
10:05 am
investigating it as an active tyra in new orleans as also new year's attack shavers . thank you. to start this conversation further on the program. now with michael mallory for full night senior security policy, i lived in the office of the us defense secretary of michael, thanks very much for sharing your 1st day of the new year with us on such a tragic story. the f b i now is investigating this incident as a possible terrorist attack. what, what are your immediate thoughts on that, michael? well, the effect will happy new year under the circumstances. but of the fact that the f b i has taken over the investigation and that has been made clear now with their lead uh suggests that they, they know more than what has been made public to date of i think the normally it would be handled by the local police, but the fact that the f b, i immediately came in and took over that investigation and suggest that there may be something more to this. and it does follow what the shade just brought out in
10:06 am
terms of marked the board call. and the problem here is that there was not adequate barriers. if you will, for such an event, there was that they might have blockaded the block the road. but this person easily could get around that. that block? yeah, you need you need to have it layered and this was not done. yeah. and so consequently that it made it much easier for someone to help in on doing this to use the vehicle a vehicle. it can be a weapon. there's no question about it. that's what this was in this case. yeah, with the quoting a mass casualty event, michael and of course, you know, this is all occurring during the new year's celebrations, but in the street, i mean, you know, above history the, you know, the french court at monte growler and all that every year, january, february, revellers all over the place. i was not money girl yet, but of course new year, which is probably just as big more or less. what do you think about the timing and
10:07 am
the location of this attack? is there anything significant the well, i think it was meant to highly publicized this development. clearly, it might suggest that you know, it, any, any act like this is a, there's an active tear, but to call it terrorism suggests that it's violence in order to make a political statement. and that that may be why the f b i is now engaged in this. yeah, yeah, yeah. anybody on the street that sees a car coming out and that is a form of care and that, and i think that you also have the sugar bowl a that's going to be occurring within a mile of that location. and you're talking in that stadium holes like 90000 people or something like that. so the, the new orleans police really have their hands full for this, for this event. and for, you know, you, you mentioned model drugs going to be coming up. they're going to have to reexamine
10:08 am
their, their approach in dealing with this kind of mass casualty efforts with specially where they have protesting and was a shape pointed out that that area of bourbon street is for pedestrians only. you don't have cars rolling through their you know, but the, their barriers were not adequate. yeah, yeah, yeah, no, i mean, as you know, michael, a couple of weeks ago, a similar call running attack of the christians market and in germany that killed 5 people that wounded hundreds. but in this event, in the big, easy down there in new orleans, reportedly i. e. d, 's were found in the truck belonging to the perpetrator. now as, as we've been understanding, we're not sure if his id is a viable, but if they were or if they are, how do you factor in that part of the attack? i guess it's one thing to plough this truck through the crowd, but then to have potential i. e. d. in the back. what, what, what does that telling you, michael? well again, how viable were they?
10:09 am
but if they were rate go off. so it means that he was prepared to this perpetrator was prepared to maybe blown self up in a, in a spectacular way. i think we have to wait to see what the motives were. yeah, i'm sure that they're going through all of their, they're going through the identification process. they will go through all of his background of social media if he has any and, and try to, to, to determine motors in mazda bird. as you mentioned in germany that the individual saudi doctor was on the radar of police. yeah. and, and in fact it's my information that the saudis had actually won the germans about this in that individual. that's right. weeks early. yeah. so you've got, you know, this, we, uh, that we got to find out 1st the identification of this individual and see where the tracks might lead. but again, it all has to be based on fact,
10:10 am
not speculation. yeah, right on i'm executive, but more questions than answers right now. but appreciate the commentary and the updates to this about developing breaking you story here or not to you. i'm. i come live as a full. i'm a senior security policy. i lives in the office of the us defense, secretary of michael, thank you very much. thank you. we're also in united states, at least 2 people were killed and more than 20 wounded in what appears to be in an accidental 5 was exposure in a hawaii emergency workers or after the scene. they are cold and of the area of incident occurring during a new year celebration in the city of london. lulu authorities have not yet set out what might have caused the fireworks all go off so unexpectedly, but the investigation is underway. so ukraine's decision to stop the transfer of russian gas to europe. it came into force on wednesday, jeopardizing supplies with a commodity to some key you member states, particularly slovakia and nearby moldova seems to be following and keeps footsteps . with a similar gas, black males scheme is all contributor rachel boston. now shed some light. so that
10:11 am
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 flowing into europe through his country and see to address the letter to european commission president and defacto european queen ursula vander line, you know, last ditch effort to try getting her to pull out of the economic dest spiral into which she finds the back ends. and europeans more generally unilateral suspension of the gas transit via ukraine to slovakia, will cost europe and citizens, businesses and infrastructure, tens of billions of euros each year. and ukraine 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 $27.00 member states. russia will easily place that small amount of gas on other markets. so the amount of loss is for russia may be
10:12 am
close to 0. the same 6 you have has taken a page from washington display book and figures that if they can turn off the tab on the eas energy, then it means potentially a wonderful new customer for them. it's kind of a problem with all the resources around territory held by russia or close to the front lines. so yeah, good luck with that feed. so has reacted to you. train cutting off so that he is pipeline yes 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 back in interest, what can i ask you for the key for these now 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. he says he will not allow slovakia or anyone else simply to pay russia for gas to fund russian war spending. notice i
10:13 am
understand that force also is 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 or we will agree on another method and we'll see it. but before all the threats were being tossed round, there were also the brides because of course, there were we're talking about ukraine here. this was back in foreign ministry accused zalinski of tried to stray dot grease slovak in palms using rushes money. ukrainian president zalinski 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,
10:14 am
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 slovak republic has a duty to defend primarily the strategic interests 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 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 transmitted russian gas because this country madura has an alternative supply of rushing gas. we're talking about the gas pipe from russia into the pro russian separatist enclave of transmission
10:15 am
for you by a company called small bills, i guess, half owned by rushes, jazz prom and a 3rd by molto but. but my daughter just stopped paying its bills and then the process has wrapped up a $700000000.00 debt. 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 slovakia, ukraine's 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 other in the program we were speaking with the chairman of a slovak patriot policy. now he said the country is national interest must be respected, but he also said the,
10:16 am
you can't really only cares about catering to so that's a 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, but i think their answer will be that another alternative for gas supplies is possible. for example, turk 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 and prime minister must work in such a way that it is economically good for their own country, not for zalinski or the us. 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 the lensky interest. for 60 years there was oil and
10:17 am
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 . 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 maybe for the us. he has never done and will never do anything good for ukraine. or to africa, big over here on the programs when nations are essentially jumping on the bandwagon to kick powers of the continent, the ivory coast at alan's the french forces at pack it up and shipping out of the west african nation. that is, as the former colonial powers military exit from the region is picking up steam a shave concepcion, my dear compatriots. we can be proud of our ami, whose modernization is now effective. it is in this context that we have decided on the concerted and organized withdrawal of french forces from code d, want the 40,
10:18 am
so it'd be ma kemp, the marine infantry battalion and pulled the weight will be headed back to the code . it was forces in january, 2025, to mock this new stage and the life of the army. this isn't just a political move. it's a declaration of independence, that it isn't an isolated event. it's part of a poor, the movement sweeping across the african continent. as with no, of course it is a decision that has walked the geo political stage signaling a shift to that is impossible to go. we've seen it happen throughout the year of 2024. we might be between a foss, sony. she have also asked for us to do the same in the respective countries and very recently, so chad as cynical following suit and the syndicate least citizens have repeatedly demanded that the authorities with new military agreements with bronze significance . these lead is as well open to the voice of dissatisfaction with faint submitted fee. praises on the country have listened to this. god, as it is uh, i have already instructed the minister of the armed forces to propose
10:19 am
a new doctrine for cooperation in defense and security matters which will involve among other things ending all foreign military presence in senegal from 20 to 25. my dear compatriots, let us take the time to look at ourselves in the mirror of our history and our values to remind ourselves of who we are and where we come from. even in chad, the lead is all you that it was time for the nation to assert its full sovereignty . even going as far as describing the agreement as no longer aligned with the political added to your strategic realities of the car and time will seen, the disagreement has become obsolete completely obsolete. it no longer corresponded to the security geo political and strategic realities of our time. nor to our legitimate expectations regarding the full expression of our sovereignty. in the same way, it does not bring us any real added value on the military ground, where we face alone varied in serious challenges including terrorist attacks. the
10:20 am
french military presence in chad is not based on a reciprocal basis. chatham was no longer except from others, what is not accepted by these others. this is the sacred principle of reciprocity. in france has blamed savage nations with the regions military who lives and he does on the likes of russia. but at this moment, the hasn't been in the wood from paris. also, what can they say when the decision to remove french troops? is one you mean to one, not just will i because of the african continent as a whole, but she has what phase president i sit before the shows on this think we our role is changing in africa, but this is what we wanted because the world is changing in africa because public opinions are changing because governments are changing because we decided in a sovereign way in february 2023 after several years of progressive change. well, to rebuild a partnership. and so it is the strength of our armies to think about this and
10:21 am
change our old habits. our group is changing with the world, and that's a good thing. and the symbolizes a continent that is tied of being seen through the leaves of dependency and continents tired of being told how to govern is the phase and the content and tide of foreign influence that often ortizes its own interest over those of african people. and we can clearly see where all of this is hitting a total collapse across in africa, different nations. well, they keep on us starting partners as the multiple, the world keeps on growing. a total of 9 states have just acquired the status and the alliance bella roost malaysia, kaz x on to name a few upper 0, which has taken over the cups of presidency from russia and says, integration of the group is one of its top priorities. one of our priority tasks during the presidency is to make brooks partners feel part of the association. it is important to ensure their involvement they will participate in the foreign
10:22 am
ministers meetings, as well as in the 2025 summit. although i was speaking with a pair of guests from these new brick spot in their countries and they all seem to be in agreement that uh the blog seemingly has much more to offer economically. unlike the formerly traditional strong economies in the west, a freight skin benefit too much a lot. i mean like it's definitely to find any feathers assessments. the brakes get a lot of individual thoughtful voice innovation is always one that to, you know, change the global governance. so far and the 2nd half, you know, access to back to them being crazy, my big, there's a lot of things that risk and all, but mostly economic diversification and resilience. secondly, assess the new markets and technologies. certainly, opportunities for federal financial things that really is a need in the global cutting, global joy,
10:23 am
economic geo political situation and focus on mutual development. one of the rules of the brakes family is no bricks. member can sanction another briggs men. but meantime, we've got the president elect, donald trump, who is about to re assume his position and 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 as when uh, how do you read into the, in 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 fix actually on for myself, with the uh, the joining the join. the new members is going to be like 40 percent of the hobby sites. but to be very nice thing about the sanction this very big, huge bulk. and they said felicia melisha is a trading nation. and they, that's been, it seems to be independent of you have continued to take with everyone, but it must be done in the fastest possible way i've seen for a long,
10:24 am
long time. the us dollars has f as a global hegemony, global financial hedge of many to many countries. and therefore, it is time for a bricks, bricks, nation, and the rest of the was that thinking about the most people i even existence either let us come up with an ultimate these potentials for something that governs would complete the uh, to out the trade in to indonesia, as president, has gone against the western concept of a new liberal economy. he says, instead of this country has a well established system already that actually puts the government in a position of looking off of the people. first, the founders of the indonesian nation did not adopt. neal 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 celia economy,
10:25 am
pension celia economics is a combination of the best, a free market understanding the best of plans. economics. we've heard from a doctor mohammed at my roof a bit older in the program. he's a director of the global thinkers and said he didn't need it easier. now he said the so called neo liberal economies being pushed by the west, where he calls it a relic of colonialism only, but out a quote to me. he knows and about calling me out a cool no me. so we have, we have an expedient bed exploited with the color, nearly some for the 150 years. so basically, funds us, he let emerge from the historical fact and it's the probable in that location. want to remind the governor under his leadership, all of the also you feel should remind disputed of the constitution. well, plan a calling on me as a gant, nearly without a calling on me. so if the, if you're talking about the ability brought a going, we of course of both sides with the speed of our constitution about so be enter has
10:26 am
not be in the west. it's favorite politician for becoming entities is present. last year he made a few similar attempts before, but it was somehow is i believe 2 of us are influenced who actually prevent him from winning. over now to a correspondent, she picks up a story from chicago. this man has been accused of crimes against humanity, abducting pro democracy activists and falsely timing victory into election. bobo 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 above is a complex di. he has a very dark, fast western media ever failing to provide any evidence. allegations of human involving have never been taken toward. either
10:27 am
simply part, the accusations remained nothing more than talk. the narrative suddenly change after he assumed the role of defense minister in 2019 under president bill clinton, george w. bush and bar off obama. to be on the list for a bit from pennsylvania to united states. that bad was quickly lifted when he became in asia minister of defense without any comments made about bacon station. in fact, washington soon try to use prep voice visit to the us for its own agenda. officers will be until the visit to washington back in august 2023. the pontiff on population water calls. we press release attribute it to jakarta. the statement was highly critical of moscow and b. j. they 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 c
10:28 am
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 put in a twist. suby on so publicly denied the statement, saying no such agreement or release had been authorized by intern asia. the incident spark debate over miscommunication and diplomatic protocol raising questions about a curacy authentic on the claim. there is no joint statement and no press conference. what is important for me to underline is that our relationship with china is very good. we respect each other. we already have mutual understanding. i convey that 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 as the countries
10:29 am
a president. he's had a tone of anti colonialism, sovereignty and self sufficiency. so bmw emphasized that indonesia will always say to it's free and active foreign policy. we want to be friends with all countries. however, we have principles. our principle is 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 symbolic. after only a few months in office. so beyond the has upfront any interest asi on membership, small also for showing brick. his 1st foreign trip after winning the election was to meet chinese president, seats in pink. moscow was also high on the den president, you'll expire until this. after meeting russian president vladimir put in seattle 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
10:30 am
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 in an agents made their choice player, electing the leader they believe best for persons that their vision for the nation . know in office to be on file is charging a pass firmly rooted in any shows, interest being true to his promise off of offering an independent foreign policy on the truth by outside pressures. maybe gonna be the full reporting from to part out for our team. or the story continues online with the rest of our top picks for today, you know, the side talk to you on the .
