the, the, just a week before july, the end is to leave the white house here on top of the funding for ukraine and last ditch effort to boast. the key of position before donald trump dates office, the devastating wild fire sweep through los angeles, killing at least 5 people in stocking criticism against the local democrats of leadership. specifically, it's a decision to send a critical fi applied in equipment to ukraine. so we get back to focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our upon us social media company and back i had made fits of moderation policies turned out to be politically biased censorship. and he says it's ending fact checking operations that damage the company's image,

the kind of that what come to our attention option? a new center where the latest update tie of michael question. now what is the powers have gather the gel need to discuss the additional funding for ukraine. the u. s. is expected to allocate a number of 500000000 dollars in minutes re assistance. it's a last ditch effort before donald trump takes office in 11 days, as he has pledged to cut down support for the key of the petal guns as a future. aid will depend on tom's approval. up to date, the united states and our allies and partners have collectively committed more than $126000000000.00 and security assistance to ukraine. since russia's full scale invasion in february 2022 will be a few $1000000000.00 in the 40 left. for the incoming administration to decide what,

what they decide to do with, with that remaining authority, the united states so will provide ukraine with the new $500000000.00 package of industry assistance. according to the pentagon cheese lloyd austin, and that will include an anti aircraft missiles, ammunition air to ground mister south and other equipments to support the ukrainian of 16. finer jazz. now that's of course, already in addition to the $126.00 other equipments to support de ukrainian f. 16 fighter jazz. now that's of course, already in addition to the 126000000000 already spent as disappeared into ukrainian of the south felt the big question of the moment remains whether ukraine will continue to enjoy this kind of support. once donald trump is inaugurated, now the pentagon already said that so there will be only a few $1000000000.00 in

a forage left for the incoming administration to decide. now, according to reports, the us on starting to have already admitted that the supply of attack comes ballistic miss styles. at 16 fighter jets and abrams tanks to ukraine have already failed to 3rd the tides in gsp or meanwhile, zalinski. he's a relentless sends. it continues to ask for more and more assistance. now, he's on all of us on how we war together, how ready we are to own our future, and how well we can convince our pop as to stand with us. the more determination we show in defending our interests, the more interest our partners and especially the us will see is good to stay on our side. meanwhile, the poet is defense minister was already hinting that this could be the groups, the rev signed roof, very last meeting in the current format. some that's

a nice so should that take on grazer burden? now the crane defense contact group, the, the ramstein group comprised of a balance of 50 allies, usually need to every few months that the grand style in the air base in germany began back in 2022 by us defense secretary light austin in order to speed up and synchronize the deliveries all 4 arms through the key of regime. if you listen to uh, zelinski why he said that's a great curse operation was one of the greatest victories the all the entire war. and this is actually a, well, you got some funded so quite ridiculous considering that the separation does not make any really minute for a sense at all. it's whole swampland, mostly. and so while the forces have been deployed in corsica, the frogs in the next good direction is completely collapsing for the,

the forces of the ukrainian regime. according to american media, the administration of the us presidents of joe barton and ukraine in the forward seas. they expect it to the get negotiations with the russia in the 1st half of 2025, regardless of the results of the us presidential election in november, which was won by donald trump. that by the way, things stand right now is really clear. what exactly we'll have another trump, uh, with the most pundits out there, leaning towards, let's help to ukraine, hunger, the white house administration. as well as i said, beating with western pause in germany. the last key asked for more funding, and he insisted that ukraine's invasion of ross has cost redone, has been one of his biggest victories. we have come such a long way that it would be madness to give up everything and not continue building defense coalitions. and our common defense power, the course cooperation has been one of our biggest victories, not only last year,

but throughout the war. we must keep up the pressure on russia. if we want to stop the killing, we have to cut off the cash flow put in will stop only when he runs out of money. if it's very difficult to explain to your electra right, people are fuel crane. now why you need the 1000000 bad people and wounded people to accept even more verse conditions than uh, no, is offered by russians. russian federation in march of 2010 sent it to the western politicians are also facing the same problem, especially after donald trump's victory. because they need to explain to the pauses of this more than what they spend their money on. the considering that i was on the ground in the course region before the start of the russian content offensive in this area. i believe that this is something we can call an r b r, north korean mode. if it's very strong, is the last the,

it's not active now it's little bit silent, but that, that is the itself with the presence of nor could grand infantry indicates that the administration of love, you mean is the last piece fighting a war march morning, the air or either then on the front or on the ground as the, as washington prioritizes age. so ukraine catastrophe in the us has thomas the end of the time for joe biden, the massive while the fires have been sweeping through southern california, at least 5 people had been killed and more than a 100. the 1000 residents had been forced to evacuate and tie a neighborhoods had been reduced to ashes. now hardly kayden for the winds have filled the flames in recent days, the city of los angeles is struggling with massive blazes on several fronts. thousands of buildings had been destroyed. now the satellite images show the extent until the devastation. you can see how the smoke has been gone for the entire

regions of a natural disaster is being considered one of the worst catastrophes of this page history. now the, the, excuse me, not the blaze, it has evolved criticism of los angeles, this decision to send critical, 55 and equipment. the crane. you can see these headlines from a couple of years ago, not donald trump junior post that has the reaction on social media. oh, look, of course, the l. a fire department donated a bunch of their supplies to ukraine. now let's cross live to laurie johnson from i see on the list in the car and see you of the associates joining us right now. laurie is good to have you, do i be so thank you, bike, terrible devastation across southern california. then not the spot where do you think this could have been prevented? yes, they are. if nothing else minimized. i never one of the california to authorities

this, this really is falls upon governor new central national, failed to enact and measures declare brush dead would see the drum because the result they allow the growth to take place and then not gets dried out in a drought it's very combustible material, so we have all the 2nd element was they failed to ensure those who had reservoirs filled with water. how long that could be used to drive to combat fires. so there's always an annual threat of wildfire off in california. but the failure to have any kind of control here is just uh, you know, one more reminder that the united states has no clear plan or priority for weeks of reading such that go. all right, talking about priorities. now this catastrophe has the volts criticizes in front of los angeles, his previous face and descend critical fire fighting equipment to ukraine. not do you think so thoughtful. t of has become more of

a pirate to you for american officials, particularly from the democratic party. then support for their own country. i didn't know that it's going to the exact opposite direction. what biden is doing, trying to send that more a to ukraine, is running against the world of the american people. and i think even donald trump, despite some of this rhetoric, he understands very clearly that continuing to pop money into ukraine. so let's just put this in the context. all of these houses that have been destroyed right now in california in los angeles. it's estimated over 2000 homes. and when you look at the landscape of destruction, it relates reminisce and it looks like what the as riley's have done to the people in ga us of the palestinians and causes just utter devastation. off the average price of home of a home in the palisades neighborhood, the burned down 3300000. so take,

let's assume that all 2000 homes were around that value. that means you'd need $6000000000.00 to rebuild all those hopes. well, guess what? we're sending 12 times the amount of money has been said to you crate. the current number in terms of aid to ukraine is approaching $76000000000.00. so what, what this highlights is the, uh, nor most amount of money that the united states has dedicated to ukraine and money that frankly has, is not binding up in the neighborhoods in the infrastructure here in the united states. right now the us president elect donald trump, has the pin, the blame for the california fi is on the democrats or forward. he's accusing them, particularly the state governor of mismanagement and mr. location of fun. what are your thoughts about those allegations? well, i think does i think that's exactly right and add to it. uh,

the mayor of los angeles, she cut uh 17. a $1017000000.00 from the fire department, which would have been used to hire firefighters. and then the, as you noted earlier in your report, they sent us a significant amount of equipment that to ukraine. well, they now discovered they needed those firefighters, they needed the equipment. and what wasn't reported on is actually hundreds of firefighters were released from their job because they would not get a covered vaccine years ago. so this, this was government in action, or government malevolence that help create the conditions where the, you know, you may not be able to control who starts to fire. but you sure as heck can control, how many firefighters do you have available? how much equipment do you have available? how much water do you have on hand? how much? what steps have you taken to clean up dead brush so that you don't have fire

hazards a line about in the hill sites? or all we have to living here? now laurie johnson, for my see on the list and car and see or bus drops off the id. thank you so much for your insight. thank you, mike and happy new year and send it to you. now jeremy has issued a thinly veiled threat that the you could impose sanctions against social networks . and that is if they do not conduct 5 checking operations for the content posted on the platforms. according to the digital service act, the cooperation of very large online platforms with fact checking organizations is not mandatory, but their risk of sanctions is reduced. if they do so in the u. if a very large online provider does not work, with fact checkers, it must prove that it is taking other equally effective risk. minimizing measures was probably something to do with the fact that we've seen that less liberal

politicians have been falling from power across the western world. and now it's probably berlin and the european union in general, is worried that they will lose control of the political narrative that they've been selling to the masses for years now. because matter which owns of course, facebook and instagram decided to scrap their fact checkers in the us. so we can get back to our roots, the focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. more specifically, here's what we're going to do. first, we're going to get rid of the fact checkers and replace them with community notes. similar to x starting in the us. after trump 1st go to what did it in 2016, the legacy media wrote non stop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. we tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. but the fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust and they've created,

especially in the us. and now we know that well facebook will be doing is that they will be switching to generated user comments. like what we've seen with you on mosques x, so that will be having that provide a little more context to some of those post. and as more example, burke said that they might though this might result in them catching few or bad stuff. but at least that will not be surprising in the some comments and in this, in the accounts we know one of those innocent accounts, of course, is archie and other russian media outlets. let's not forget, not russia. archie and other outlets were banned in september 2024, and that was just days after washington issued their sanctions against rough and media outlets. so we, so mark, soccer, berkeley, we're playing to washington tunes there. so with all of this going on, but how does it start? let's go back to the beginning and may have it stop this sort of nonsense. it all started as soon as the united states gotten all the leads there, got

a result that they didn't like. and that result came about after the 2016 presidential election when donald trump one. and no one could believe that it could happen so far as i started looking for someone to play this sort of blaming bradshaw. that's not a blaming this information online. and that's when they came up with this brilliant idea to have these fact tigers, they were supposed to be not biased. when in reality, what we saw was the complete opposite. the federal network agency in germany brings this up in the quote saying that it will, it's resident facebook that it will issue sanctions against that. if it doesn't continue, it's relationship with a court c 5 checking website. when, when that company itself has been found by a german high original court, that it's measures were unlawful. that was in 2021. and that actually court sees assessments represented a dead chord nation of during the less the performance which could no longer be tolerated. and that there were found in violation and number of times,

that's one example. let's continue. we have facebook 3rd party 5 tracker, lead stories, a former facebook engineer expos, how, for example, the company suppressed at the time there was a free beacon report on the by this administration. maybe you remember that story that the by the administration was planning to use tax payer money to distribute a crack pipes to drug at its purely and they just took to buy the ministrations word for it or he claims that that's not going to happen. so they said, oh, well, this is fake news. it ended up being true. of course, moving on college decides one of the most prominent 5 check in websites. there was even a study conducted that looked in. so there are fact checking. and it showed that there were, there was a selection bias, there was fact check republican statements, more often than the democrats, for example. well, let's leave that aside. there was an infamous situation with the there was a jump activation that obamacare would mean that you would lose your doctor, the one that you use. they said all that is fake news. and what happens,

of course obama care pass and people lost access to their doctor and pull it to fax . has the nerve to call this then lie of the year? was it was there lie of the year because they fact checked it and said, well this is wrong, this is fake news when of course it wasn't. and that really when you look into the funding as well and to some of these fact travelers, it really is a mess, but they allow that to happen and continue for years until it was time for donald trump to return to power. i guess. and mark stucco work had to do a huge sir and start using trumps word single. these fact checkers actually sensory more than they're doing any good. now the jump button parliament has reportedly launch done investigation into tex. i cool on mazda support for the right wing political party, the owner of the social network, x has praise the alternative for germany potty and he was interviewed the political

leader. now, legal regulators are also totally monitoring the situation for a potential regulatory violation that a team of up to a $150.00 or officials will examine how the social network promotes. mazda interview with the head of the party, no advice acronym a, f d, that mazda support could be unlawful, as it might provide an unfair advantage for the f b. and they run up to the election. and that's according to european commissions books bus. and now japanese child celestial has also spoken out about the most previous praise for the b. since i've missed that the crucial point is that mister musket supported a right wing extremist party. that is something to not only disagree with the underscore i rejected indecently from a gift. you know, mark has said that the of these germany is best option if it wants to get out of its economic slum. now they have these in the 2nd place in just jump on the popping and polls with support from about the one fif of both as the have

a current or former to use have prohibited a of deep representatives from taking part in a televised political debates. been wally tale and prime minister georgia below. and he has spoken up in defense of the law in moscow . she says that the only real issue by the use column deformities have against him and not george soros for example. is that mosque is not less, meaning you don't mask it rather it's almost all the human mask is a very well known and very wealthy person who expresses his positions. we are currently talking about this problem you on most of the finance and election campaign and his country of his candidate in a system in which by the way is quite common with george soros also does this in a way i consider as dangerous interference in the affairs of nations and so in the sovereignty of nation, the see a tree. the problem is not that eli mosque is influential or rich. it is that eli

mosque is not left waiting at a fucking let's get a take on this from a former a european poly been member who not back from the of the party. gunite is good to have you drive me now. so why is the you putting pressure on you on moscow? but he's received support for the f d. what are you interpreting? because he's giving voice to people. they do not like when people like bill gates and uh, so come on. uh well a given preference to abuse aligned with this b. ready leaders, they weren't complaining. so it's a classic case of double standards. all right, now it play as prime minister georgette bologna has said that he loved mosque pose as no threats to european democracy. whereas judge sorrows, dove with this funding parties, associations and politicians. now what do you think about that?

well, most of them are rich enough to pay is a threat to democracy in the sense that they can acquire a companies, especially media companies that can influence the formation to for can be of assistance. now, georgia saws, as industry, it's very one sided to promote certain ideas of mass migration and b, l, b, g t, a ideal, no cheap, no one was fading, then you know, mosque is now offering a more i'm discriminated, don't discriminate tre, blackfoot. ready to people of all sorts of persuasions is promoting freedom of speech, at least so far as a freedom of speech is necessary to democracy. because without freedom of

speech, people cannot make an informed choice. it's as simple as that. you don't mask, at least the presence is from a cheat focusing. now ela mos conducted an interview with the head of the of the party. not the boat said the do not want simple. yes man in the country is government. what do you think? there is not enough in total critique or criticism within the us or german governments right now. while they tried to suppress each close uh before, uh, president trump was elected at most of the media. well, many active may have called batch e at his campaign. and the present in germany at all the apologies practically all the countries be office privately and publicly owned

and practically the top is a commercial industrial elite is a warranty. uh, the electronics of, uh, uh, the danger page for the f d a. so we have an establishment interventions in the election, and now that there are, uh such an influential uh the people who have the means to wipe the page. and uh, doing so, how they are completed, the establishment, i mean, i'd like to know really yes, go ahead. round up front of your point. well, i mean, they are complaining is quite simply because for them democracy and freedom of speech, it's the right to say what pleases them. if somebody says something different,

they'd like to shut them up. it's as simple as that. all right, we have to leave you here. now. thank you so much. when i back for my european parliament member from the a of the party you thank you so much for your insight. right now the leadership of greenland has insisted that the people of that danish territory have the right to determine its future. that's in response to emissions expressed by us. president elect donald trump, to take control over the island. thompson to be appointed us national security. advise us as a greenland is a strategic issue. this is not just about greenland, this is about the arctic. you have russia that is trying to become king of the arctic. this is about critical minerals. this is about natural resources. this is about, as the polar ice caps pulled back,

the chinese are now cranking out ice breakers and pushing up there as well. so it's oil and gas. it's our national security. it's critical minerals. for now, donald psalm has not ruled out using the american military to take over greenland, and that is despite the washington's natal online denmark having southern control over the island, drums and visions have the volt concerns among us partners in europe. in mind, just please, in my discussions with our european partners and just as a certain lack of understanding has therefore become clear with regard to current statements from the us. the principle of in vital ability of borders applies to every country, regardless of whether it is to the east or west of us. and every state must abide by it. and we'll see that regardless of whether it is a small country or a very powerful states, it is a fundamental principle of international law in a core component of what we call western values. there can and must be no compromise on this and office if you then we'll package deal cuz there is no

question that the european union would let another nation of the world, whoever it may is. and i would even say starting with russia to attack it, sovereign border. so if you're asking me whether i think the united states will in the greenland, for the answer is no. what have we entered into an era that sees survival of the fittest? the answer is yes, lots of too long. ruth, of a crime lane has said that it is keeping an eye on the situation. president lot of it putting spokes. my note to that is there is a discussion about electing the residents of our region decides with which country the line then the us and other western powers should respect the results of referendums in rochester, new regions 0 different words coming from washington about the opinion of people of the population, your pre x very timidly to this. clearly it is scary to react to trump's words. if there are words about the need to take into account people's opinions,

then perhaps we should still recall the opinions of the people of the for new regions of the russian federation. and we need to show the same respect for people's opinions that retired in the, in the army. general delilah thing says that some statements off putting all the need to members in an awkward position. i have a feeling that this will start bracketing all the mental states, all the middle countries really now start feeling a bit difficult and that got no directions and started coming in already. i'm very sure that in very short time, we're to get the reaction from other countries also rather do back simple but now mom or the jen my, whether it's some other guntee, everybody's going to is going on with some of the actions and in fact, almost all countries reliability i of the statement, it is a very, very far reaching statement. it doesn't the only natural godaddy's but a,

the breaks many others. because what if china gets into 511, if america has been saying that russia is not allowed to warranty, you're going to know how to justify that you've been them. so start doing this work . if they are, they've done, they start doing something on some of that nature. this will have to be very, very should i say, can you put it in aspect every guntee would love to sort of think of it. and i'd love easy. it love easy to read that into guild or easy to be accepted by other countries across the world by stay with our to international for all the latest from around the world. i see you again the

i am theater, the moon, but here this flyer, a case you're going to 7. see my truck was county and the republicans getting it. you know, africa as clearly the one said a lot of, uh, always something new. and to the extent that african country is any gain, the independence in the late fifty's on 60 is the i caught them is what traditionally dependent on west 10 institutions, it was a, the euro, or the united states of america through institutions which was dominated by the west or denied or related 5 to the bretton woods institutions created in the bedroom.
