or illusions, going underground can the rigging is master casualties in new orleans as a truck arrives into a crowd during the news celebration. at least 10 people are dead and dozens of others. as you prizes in your search to more than 50 euro's per megawatt hour for the 1st time in over a year. as the plane cuts off, cheap gas supplies from brush up phases, grading injection in africa, or the inside of leave, the ivory coast thoughts of the new year by ousting french troops. the domain of shifting type on the contract on the 9 countries during the bricks partnership

with the pledging to prioritize the instead of getting into this for g 35 pleasant . the problem of the, the was a, this is c is good to have a company today. and we saw with the top news are breaking uses and facts. at least 10 people killed. and thousands of others injured with a pickup truck arrived into a cloud in the us city of new orleans. the suspect was shot dead during an exchange of gunfire with police earlier. my colleague roy associates, spoke with all team correspondence, a bose about the latest developments where it happened in new orleans. uh, this is a parking place. this is a place where people celebrate my degree. anyone has been to your lives knows the street bourbon street. it's a desperate, nice street and that's critical to this story. this vehicle a pick up truck for a powerful vehicle? remember plowing into hundreds of people. we know dozens are injured. we know at

least 10 or dead inside the in these occasions we do see these numbers rising to police officers injured and is improvised explosive devices having being found in the vehicle. whether or not they were viable or not. we don't know so far. 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 parent page in order to conduct those. he was held down on creating the carnage and the damage that he done, the improvised explosive devices that was found. and we are working on confirming if it's a viable device or not all. so we've got a local media in the us suggesting that the guys now investigating this as a terrorist independent that suggests that this may be more sinister than the 4th. yeah, you definitely gotta read between the lines of material on this i um,

you know, it was just a couple of weeks ago i was in a similar vehicle rhyming instead of in germany at a christmas market. i guess. how do you, how do you prevent someone from doing something like this? i mean magda burge, a terrible attack. again, this happened on new year's 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 that interested me here in moscow. for a new year's eve, they closed the local, the christmas market at the center of moscow. better safe than sorry, it seems that the lessons haven't been learned to place. like mike, depart, we saw speed of these attacks in europe. 5th, 20152016. nice folks. used the wrong people on the sea front. the nice people till they've done it again. and as these people have forgotten about these attacks in the states, it seems people are 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 question to answer that need to be answered. now the police, you did say this individual went around our barriers. she was hired to be saying this, but that doesn't give any solace if you like to the family. so we're kind of going to be asking how good this will happen again. but yeah, we spoke who is michael, is a former senior security policy analyst in the pentagon. he said the fact that the, the i is involved in the investigation in the case there is much more to this story then has been revealed the fact that the f b, i has taken over the investigation. and that has been made clear now as their lead uh suggests that they, they know more than what has been made public today. 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 suggest that there may be

something more to this. any act like this is it is an active chair. but to call it terrorism suggests that its violence in order to make a political state. and that there may be why the f b i is now engaged in this. 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. now you need to have it um, layered and this was not done. and so consequently that it made it much easier for someone to help. and on doing this, the use of vehicle a vehicle. it can be a weapon. there's no question about it. and that's what this was in this case also in the us that these 2 people were killed and more than 20 wounded in what appears

of being an accidental fireworks exposing in hawaii moses who, who is the russians of the sea and cooled off the area. the incident occurred during a new year's celebration, and the city of honolulu authorities of north said, what might some cool def file looks unexpectedly ignite and investigation is underway. the photon has play is u. k is move to hold russian gas transit. the through it's type of free, although the decision effectively effective wednesday as an already driven up gas prices to you for your opinions. part of the farm is called it a try and put in spent billions building north stream to circumvent ukraine and blackmail eastern europe with the threat of cutting off gas supplies. today ukraine cut off his ability to export gas directly to the u. another victory after the enlargement of nato by finland and sweden, a valve of side,

so vicarious also borders. ukraine has condemned key of decision to cut off the gas private saying it could cause a shortage of the commodity in europe. however, it nearby moved the seems to be following in key of footsteps with a similar scheme of contribute to the original mazda and as the dfcs. so that came 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 in a last ditch effort to try getting her to pull out of the economic dest spiral. into which she's fine, slow back in, and europeans more generally unilateral suspension of the gas transit via ukraine to slovakia, will cost european citizens businesses and infrastructure tens of billions of yours

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 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 top on the ease 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, we're going to keep it as he does. evans keep producing,

assigned me to you cleaning and presidents. zalinski announced at the summit in brussels and sees the 2 crane 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 force also you 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 and is that and who is obliged only to help you and expect nothing from you over the if this happens is up and we will stop the supply of electricity, which ukraine urgently needs in case of network outages on question or we will agree on another method we were given mostly. 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 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, 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 through you train, which

t of and you have now cut off and it was easy for this country to extra other countries like for vac. yeah. who relied on you train? translated brushing 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 for you by a company called multiples, i guess, half owned by russ. as jazz prom and a 3rd by and most of us, but most over just stopped paying it's bills and in the process has racked 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 well 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. so as he says, he helps you as a gas supplies replacing those pregnancy photographs that will make prices quote more comfortable. now we spoke with the chat window, so vacuum patriot bought that he said that due to transportation costs, the american deliveries to a will be much more expensive. so that's what we do. as for possible assistance from brussels, i think the approach will be 5050. there was no answer yet, but i think their answer would 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 president and 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 and will not, for example, the interest of russia in china and the interest of slovakia on that. but it seems to me that europe is now dominated by zelinski is of 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 . so what is the problem? now? the problem is the lens. you should not believe it 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. kevin saw so that i saw says, taking

a much e little mosque off of the 1000000000 excess support for the right to inc. old to us, if the germany bossy soul said in his new use address that is not up to social media exec like, you know, must to determine the minis future. that's best in see you, the citizens decide the future of germany. it's not up to the owners of social media in our debates, you can sometimes get the impression because it, that the more it stream, the opinion of the greater the attention. but it's not who shouts the loudest that determines what happens in germany. and by but the vast majority of the sensible and decent people. and this also applies to the upcoming parliamentary elections on february 23rd and iron sconces, a loss please. any praise the old us if a gemini policy, also known as the a f d, the rising political falls is said to have been on the domestic surveillance on the obligations that it presents, quote,

extremist views such as opposing mass and immigration. impose on social media as well as an opinion piece published by jim and newspaper. it almost can describes amazing positions in the country as being incompetent and cold in the economic decline. charles of the souls who has been facing a potential also from his 1st less styles that must and basically said he should mind his own business. so this coalition government collapse in november over disagreements on 8th grade. i'm economic policies, and so all of a confidence votes in december, the country is, parliament has been dissolved snap election off scheduled for the 23rd of february . if the company runs in 2nd place, independent impulse, a recent survey shows that the majority of jim is 56 percent think. so says done a pull job as thomas a full year of

a and paul. but lambert did not back from the a f. the policy is broke out against left, his officials, how the hypocritical approach to public opinions and if americans silly and as my sort, sort of uh, uh, subsidizing less weight. and g is the job. and the then these being framed by the job and political establishment as a pillar of democracy and enlivening debate with another english 1000000000 now, not left wing on best occasion, eat on mosque is commenting on german politics at but in favor of the rights we or conservative party, then this is deemed to be in defense. so again, her favorites, a file you have a well admitted doubled standards applied into wisdom. you know?

yeah, you have to have more. he's been for a vague allegations of father and into theater. i did see the these going to within the next elections, but let's just see results is deemed to be very unstable to qualify the establishment. then we need to build up a credible case that i'm quite sure that they use statements such as masks, to, to build a case savanski has been caught lying about seeing things admitted fee capabilities. and his he is addressing titles, is that he describes as the country of successive alms manufacturing. but he showed footage of a south korean missile launch year. ukraine is once again building its own miss silas. but for the 1st time, we are producing over a 1000000 drones in a year, forcing the enemy to learn ukrainian for probably on it's a pac hello and making them tremble at the words neptune and supp sun. i'm not all

of these are our miss files. ukrainian ones, or as that as a, was naming the types of weapons as address features closer to the ends of missiles inaction. but when he mentioned that you cranes stops on miss out the video, he presented. it was actually of a south korean miss. so long from 2017 inquiry inside of a sudden missile as mentioned by his events, he has been under development since 262018, including unveiled a mockup of the system to a movie parade. since then, the production process has been hampered by funding shortfalls, and it's been no confirmation of whether it has ever been used in by some other staff of live to international affairs and security as monk flow boda. my good to see, i'm having a problem with joining us. the folks i have, i buy as it lends here and it's interesting how it seems to show these video

footage of these missiles that supposedly are owned by you claim. but he uses the, the south korean missiles instead. is this, i'm a myra rules. i'm all, i know if a, if you remember when the letters he wants to dismiss us from south korea. and they rejected said that, what do you make of all this is just a mistake, or is this just some way of like a, let's just use the footage. we don't really have anything actually. you know, what are your thoughts to? yeah, so this new year's address is a, by the president, is a tradition in russia, ukraine, and many of the other countries of the former soviet union. it's, it's, i would say an important speech because it sets the tone for the rest of the year. and the idea is that the way you spend the new year is how you'll live with your year and well, if that so well, then, that doesn't vary, bowed very well friends of lensky. during his 20 minute speech,

he was mentioning out the ukrainian missile systems by name, and he kept stressing that they are hours that they are ukrainian. and while he was doing so, they were illustrated by video of, of uh you know, these systems being used. but when he mentioned the san m, a ukrainian ballistic missile system that has been in development for, for while nearly 2 decades and has never been proven to, to affectively be used. it showed this south korean who moved to a ballistic missile. and specifically, video footage from a south korean defense blog that was posted on youtube some 6 years ago. so while we said that that russians would tremble at the mention of the names of these weapons. well, the, the russian social media and media is trembling with,

with laughter because quite obviously he has a gun in space. i think this is most likely the result of some kind of, uh, shoddy, uh, editorial production process from his p r management team. and i, the russian media internet media is, is full of jolts, so that, that the person responsible for this. now food that has made a mockery of homes and in skis onwards, could find himself being sent to the eastern front very quickly. i hope that's not the case but, but quite obviously this is an embarrassment for zalinski and it must be said for the cambridge and, you know, a missile production system. yeah, i'm a few things that, i mean, let's say that was, you know, an editorial at arrow through so i didn't see mistakes or whatever. but they made that as he was perhaps trying to show some rules of getting

a note for his american partners saying to i'm trying to do my best to i still need your so i still need the old weapons at right now. it does all seem like a bit of a play, a said so if you like, i'm, i'm the same time who's making all these arms, by the way, does he reduce the? because it's clear should age down to about 20 the other day. so who's actually producing these weapons? that's another thing that i just popped into my head. but is this just a last? so push for um, you know, a show for us for the united states to send more money as well. i mean, he, the zillow is getting never really miss is an opportunity to press the case for more money and more weapon systems has already become quite notorious and western and not political and media surf circles for his, his, uh, you know, uh, begging bowl out stretch continuously, however,

i think this video is probably mostly intended uh for a domestic audience. and while he may wish that he had south korean ballistic missile systems to use um, uh, the, the political crisis in south korea uh seems to indicate that there probably won't be any more south korea missing systems heading is way. so i, i think it's still far more likely that this was some type of rather, or, you know, the process of putting together this video by as be our team. it's actually nothing unusual. but the number of times that the u. s. navy has made an air force, if a posts, you know, celebrating important days. uh, you know, with pictures supposedly, of us a weapon systems and instead shown russian aircraft in the end. uh,

russian naval forces is itself quite infamous. and you know, what i've often is the case is the people putting together this from a p, r perspective, simply don't have the military knowledge or expertise to tell one system for another. or maybe they don't even really care. or maybe it was in a rush to get to a new year's eve party and didn't care what he or she was doing. yeah, more we thought of a go, you know, um, what was the next 4 president's he does? he have. uh, i mean, does it, is it, does he have a plan to i believe his plan is to hold out for as long as possible to port as many ukrainians of whatever age you know, be they young man, or be they old man or be they women between him and the russian forces involved in the intervention in ukraine as possible. i think he will try to drag

this out for as long as you can. that may be something something's substantial part of the time. but i, i think you never believe he's probably going to end up in an exile uh somewhere in the united states. maybe he can uh, you know, get uh, a rental unit together in brooklyn with that line at the honda sky. and um, one guy know when they can all pretend their, their us support is leaders of the countries together. aspect of interesting, i'm very side of the same time law because no hundreds and thousands of lives are being lost all for once. and they were gonna have to live with that mox about the international affairs and security analysts. thanks again for your time. thanks for having me. hi. over to africa. now country is a line. yeah. i'm so so power is the door the, i mean, cuz this is an outside fits all the, the iving momentum to the full, the colonial powers, rapid minutes exit from the reach 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 coach people off the 40. so it'd be in the camp, the marine infantry battalion and put the weight will be headed back to the coast. it was forces in january, 2025 to mark this new stage in 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 you would know, of course, it is a decision that has rocked the geo political stage. cigna being a shift to that is impossible to go for seen. it happens 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 sold chad as cynical following suit at the synagogue, the citizens have repeated the demand is that the authorities with new military agreements with frost synagogues,

these leaders as well open to the voice of dissatisfaction with france submitted for your presence on the country. i've listened to the door is it is uh, i have already instructed the minister of the armed forces to propose 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 la, 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. and even in chad, the lead is all use 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 ad geostrategic realities of the car and time will fit in, 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 french military presence in chat is not based on a reciprocal basis. chad must no longer accept from others. what is not accepted by these others? this is the sacred principle of reciprocity. in a 2nd, from this has blamed solid nations with the regions military rules and heat is 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 when you mean to one, not just because of the african continent as a whole, but here's what phase present a seat before or something on this thing uses. our role is changing and i forgot. so this is what we want us to do. so 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 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 to be seen through the leaves of dependency and continents . todd of being told how to govern the phase. and the continental foreign influence that often call it sizes its own interest over those of african people. and we continue to see all of this is hitting a total collapse across in africa. so breaks a group of nations is expiring as the most of the world takes shape 9 whole countries including bella. ruth, malays, i'm carfax. i'm become part in the states of the alliance was the whole day in the presidency of the rush, as opposed to plowing size, full integration of the going good. one of our priority tasks during the

presidency is to make bricks, partners feel part of the association. it is important to ensure their involvement, they will participate in the foreign ministers meetings, as well as in the 2025 summit of their mind calling roy associates spoke with a pair of guests from these 2 bricks partner countries. they say that the blog has much to offer economically as a traditional strong west and markets are struggling. these dates can benefit and was a lot, i mean like it's and then once you find them, you can uh, credit assessments breaks can over individual possible voice innovation. and who is the oldest one that to, you know, change the global governance so far. and the 2nd half, you know, asked us to move them back to them being crazy. my big there's

a lot of things that.
