[000:00:00;00] the, the, we are in the center of good rock. this easy, surprisingly, ease, poor was entirely in fact, the spots a back to the wage for a month. you all to become the fast, the international news that with to report from a don't yet for public logistics. hospice being taken fine. russian for the american dream funds in los angeles coming at least 16 people in destroying more than 12000 buildings. well, testified and defend the california governor over the 5th public skew. we gotta deal with this misinformation. i think you know, you get

a bad rap about these far gimme a break. and cale throughout the socks and he is police push back liberal protesters who are trying to disrupt an alternative for germany. policy congress ahead of next month election. the very welcome. this is the weekly on all the international bringing you the latest news updates along with a round up the stories the shapes. the week's good to have you with us. i was top story normality is gradually returning to a don't boss tom that's being taken by russian troops most gonna say if he had lost more than 15000 soldiers in the battle. russian forces have now gained full control of a strategically important logistics hub. i'll tell you, is it more i don't see a this the 1st, the international news correspondent to exclusively report from the actor as we are

in the center of good rock about this easy, surprisingly, is almost entirely intact. the sparse a. back to the wage for a month here with, with the 1st press, the managed to enter good hawk of the most dangerous pause. ease the drive to the city, across plains and fields. but the weather was all friend today. it was very faulty, almost new drones. the other remarkable thing about the garage, or is it a pre will population of 18000 almost also almost 4000 people choose to remain in the city and the waste russian forces hiding in basements, high digging in the apartments. and they were very fortunate. they were very fortunate that you credit defends us here,

crumbled the russian soldiers we have spoken to say the city was completely unprepared for an in depth defense. the defensive positions that you claim in military. it seems he's suffering from appreciate the fight that they have pulled up here is of the fight that they would have put up previously. the flights of we saw in the muddy with embossed, most embodied installed a dog. many other cities are to be left devastated. these people, he of the thousands, the maids we spoke in the course of the day to many of them they have described. i read this things, they have said how they were abused, how ukrainian soldiers mud that civilians here who they accuse of being phrases will staying to wait for russians for trying to re unite with the, with russia they, they said many of the,

the faces of the people here of the towns people the be is up to them, they would have killed the more we will bring you, of course, the, the testament later as we leave the city. but as you can see, it is incredibly called the spot. the fact that we have gone kilometers away from you crazy. in positions they are still on the retreat. and with the capture of colorado, which you create in force is described as a fortress city, which they poured huge sums of money into the defense offered money that was apparently stolen this barred promising to defend this loss. they gave it up and this opens an operational space for russia to advance further. there's nothing similar to cut off of a fuss, many and many kilometers westwood towards the door. the don't towards the

appropriate. they're all regions. the battle for cut off is over a few dozen kilometers from that area most goes full of his. i've also taken another town so just waived russian slacks to so they had suddenly gained control of the said she unco this drone associates with waste by the russian defense ministry. most high precision. you a, the, the tell of restoring something key to the advance that they eliminated ukrainian military infrastructure, including ass sales, as power facilities, lessons, bowls. these have also been improving the physicians in other directions, particularly on the task and talk all fronts. your brain is said to have lost a total of $1400.00 troops over the past day. meanwhile, off the landscape, still, the russian gas from flowing through europe through you frayed. he's been accused by some neighboring states obsessing up a looming e u energy crisis with the body

a space and gets ready to pass off the aid. so kids stay with us for the detailing places. this new sound, the unprecedented world science. so spreading further in southern california office during world in 12000 and building for leaving at least 16 people killed us, emergency services are struggling to contain the shopping scale of disaster. the several districts not being completely evacuated in los angeles. local authorities have been post because he was on affected areas. the national guard troops have

been deployed to help maintain or to the pacific palisades neighborhood homes are made. a hollywood styles has been completely ravaged, closing tens of billions of dollars worth of property damage. california north ortiz, are facing heavy criticism full failing to prevent the 5 just by knowing they were expected. well, the media has been shifting some light of exactly what went wrong in the golden state. turns out that a massive water reservoir hyundai, the scorching palisades, the area was out of service completely and see when the blazes struck. then in the middle of 5, finding f. it's hydrants quickly when dry as emergency water stokes were emptied, as well. the head of feet is also b. l. a fire department, prioritized diversity high as well. cutting emergency trading due to being on the funded. but even despite the own up, the response of california as democratic governor has claimed he's the target of

a smear campaign as a brief outgoing president by them to ask you, we got to deal with this misinformation or hurricane force winds of miss in this information lives people on a divide this country and then we'll have to dress that as well. i think you getting a bad rap. i know you get a bad rap about these fire. i don't have enough water in them. give me a break, which is all about, is the utilities understand what they did is they cut all power because they're worried about the high tension winds coming down and causing more fire. right? when they do that, guess what? they shut off the power of the controls, the ability to function water. and so now for gary generators, i mean, this is complicated stuff. we're going to have a lot of democrats out there trying to take advantage of what you're doing, the right one of washington's global arrivals. there's also like an unexpected helping hands wrong. national governments,

along with the red crescent humanitarian society have said that, ready to send emergency workers to the us john yesterday last night as you want us to meet the iranian red crescent society based on its inherent moral religious islamic duties, as well as adherence to the principles of the international red cross and red crescent movement announces its readiness to deploy its rapid response and 5 fighting teams which a highly professional and specialized to help the people of the united states. if the american red cross agrees we can dispatch out forces, the news of the fire in the us is painful. we are witnessing the people over there are in during difficult conditions. and the fire has not been completely extinguished. it seems that it needs support from other countries. we sympathize with you the people of california who have been displaced from your homes and safe environments. we empathize with you whose homes and possessions have been burnt and

destroyed. we stand with you who have endured this devastating wildfire caused by climate change. we also remember the sorrow of thousands who have been displaced and mourned due to the selfishness and war mongering of others. as the iranian red crescent society has announced, we are ready to dispatch rapid response teams to help extinguish the fires. we spoke to doctor john carouse most a professor. all of you can all make some politics, isn't mary's college in california? he believes that the crisis has been caused by a mix of incompetence, twisted priorities, and bad luck or the fires are, are terrible. it's really devastating over 10000 homes and businesses have been destroyed. many of them uh, had been denied insurance by the insurance companies out here. we have that crisis and insurance coverage. so a lot of those people won't to won't receive any compensation unless the government does something to directly compensate them. you know, it's very interesting that the buy's mazili is office,

can find $20000000000.00 to give uh to ukraine. uh, but uh, no money for our own citizens. interesting that the chase bank is estimated the property damage is 20000000000. so you know, why not take that 20000000 as a give you credit and give it to americans who needed many of them who don't have any insurance coverage anymore. as far as the incompetence. there is some evidence that there is some local government incompetence. you know, they cut the budget of the firefighters, the mayor of the newly elected the career politician medicare and, but as a, a to it takes off right off like on a junket. you know, when she was being warned that we got these a big center. i don't know what is coming, you know, that blow 50 to 80 miles an hour and when a below the, there's no way you can contain it until it stops. or we have a convergence of, of problems here, both in terms of local government and water systems. and water supplies and bad

decisions that have been made for government has to step in and do something. and you know, i really urge somebody that we throw all this money off shore to all these uh, neil con mores and proxy wars and everything. and we can't find it enough for our own people here in america. you know, it reminds me of what happened to the citizens in hawaii, where now they got burned out and, and bite and guessing the $700.00 check. you know, i mean it's almost insulting, and it's about time that we got our priority straightened out in california and in the country as well. so vakio has reiterated his threats to sanction k. as off the bottom of the landscape, refuse to keep russian got flowing to european consumers through ukraine as well by presidents as well, doubts going to keep the tools in a situation where the ukranian parliament is adopting a law that intends to band even the transportation of oil to slovakia despite

existing contracts under such conditions. my trip to ukraine is currently excluded . if i have to go there just to take a picture and i am told that not a single drop of oil and gas will go to slovakia, then i don't have to go there was the volcanoes. prime minister has joined the use countries, the president and slamming as lensky of a fits the. so he's, he's sick of seeing the ukranian, nita begging for handouts from the west. a god knows what you're going to do. cranium, president continues to damage just like this. declining president continues to damage the entire european union like this. the slovak republic will show that it is a sovereign country at this moment, zalinski deliberately damages the slovak republic and the european union. so what can we do? first, we can stop all humanitarian aid, even what was recently approved by the government of the slovak republic. the 2nd

possibility is that the government of the slovak republic is determined to significantly reduce or even completely remove various social benefits that have been given to you printing and citizens who came to the slovak republic since the start of the military conflict. well ukraine and brussels concluded to basically screw over e u countries. lights of doc. yeah. that we're still dependent on russian pipeline . vast trends that through ukraine and how they do that well by turning off the top about 10 days ago, meaning a loss of about 515000000 annually. first, with ikea and the potential head of another $1000000000.00 from having to pay more for gas from other sources and well, brussels tosses. cash it keeps like it's wrapped around a stripper pool. actually, you members state schools, actually, i can't seem to get any love at home. so, so vacuum prime minister robert pizza says, but he's just going to march right on over to the you in front of the energy

commissioner and basically say, hey, it's hard for us, bobby make a choice. not that he wants to create drama. he says he isn't quote, interested in escalating tensions, but if the problem isn't solved, so lock you will have to take quote, hard reciprocal measures. shortly he says, when russell says that it doesn't see a problem here, that they've been quote, working with member states and with ukraine to prepare in advance for this scenario . which scenario exactly the one where the gas prices go up and blow a massive hole in the budget of you have another. busy you country the says that the gas coordination groups net last week, which is, i guess, another merry band of desk jockeys. and well, they don't see any security or supply issues for the you at all. just uh, you know, the industrialization of germany, skyrocketing debt and installation in france and the establishment regime changing

itself right out of power across the u because national economies suck now. and now, so that, yeah, it's sounding the alarm. but other than that, no, no problem at all because the uses are there haven't been, any price increases since the new year, a whole 10 whopping days as a result of this latest active economic suicide. and well, that's because the market's already hedge their bets that'd be you would in fact do something really stupid to itself again. and that's already factored in this latest se, into their projections before the new year pizza had warned in his new years of dress that trying to stick it to put in by going further into the whole, paying more for gas having to subsidize ukraine even more. because it also cut off its own russian gas transit income and dealing with rising gas prices across the bloss. um, well wasn't what winning was supposed to look like for the you, hunger,

you can get russian gas or turkey at least. but it's still recognizes how ukraine has basically screwed everyone over across the block. the development that led to the latest price increases was ukraine. cessation of the transfer of russian natural gas on its territory to central europe. since the end of the ukrainian transit road in mid december, the price of natural gas on the european market has increased by 20 percent. now hungry is energy supply secure, but ukraine's decision to stop transit shipments it will lead to further price increases and create new competitiveness challenges for central europe and the european union as a whole. oh yeah, and the problem isn't just as well actually right now. there's also mol, dover, which was getting russian gas pipe to ukraine and into the pro russian enclave of trans, mr. yeah. but then just decided to stop paying for it, wrapped up a $700000000.00 debt in the process, and then use the boat solving that problem by claiming that they just own the

russian gas from majority own gas company that was delivered yet. i think i'll try that with my own gas company after racking up some bills and just see how that goes . like, what are they going to do? cut you off. usually you move, you see it for many years. russia supplied natural gas. thanks to which in fact in france and history, a survive shift now due to the decisions made by ukraine and the modem and authorities, trends in history a has lost his ad possibility. well yeah, yes, to kind of figure that that's how this stopped like that would have turned out, but hey, nothing to see here. all is going great in the you. they say i'm going to, it's hard to get by with electricity and gosh, shortages. the gas is running out and the right electrical blackouts, for example, today from 8 am to noon, and then from $6.00 to 8 pm. so for a total of 8 hours, we didn't have electricity through the most of yes, there are difficulties because i used to wear

a t shirt at home. but now i have to be fully dressed. it is become more difficult to live and we've simply doesn't look like these just to we are all tied to electricity, mobile phones, all devices run on electricity. and naturally, these rolling blackouts are a surprise for some of those who have generators can cope with those who do not have generators are forced to rebuild their lives to the new so called realities might have to break out the turtle next and have the sweaters across to you again because winter the storage is way down this year compared to the same time last year as 69 percent capacity down from 84 percent right across europe. same in the u . k. where it's 26 percent lower, but no, nothing really to worry about. everything's under control. you just have an e. u. member states of actually a downside that they're going to take drastic measures targeting what it considers to be inactive economic warfare against it by ukraine on the blocks, teeth diplomat tie a callous to say that she's totally sure are the oh you countries are ready to

continue to support your train to the point that the you will take over your cranes bills to if the us under trump kicks zelinski out of the basement and off their wallet. speaking like someone, we clearly doesn't have to worry about being elected to the job by popular vote. looks like the clowns in charge in brussels. are intent on doing a high flying truck piece out here without a safety net tails crowds and pappas spray the eastern germantown of we've had it all on south of the us as liberal furthest as hit the stories to disrupt the confidence of the right wing alternative for germany policy, the demonstration delayed by a fees key congress plan hour has done a good struggle to waste the venue. thousands of people were supposedly joined the protest and 6 emergency service workers were injured and the chaos the as the

policy lead of course assigns the self pertain defenders of democracy. it's using them of in of intolerance. but notice that they fell to prevent a nomination for tons of calls now. so the a if the in 2nd place ahead of february's election following the collapse of current, chancellor schultz has done as protests, so routed outside the eye of the candidate for national chancellor gave a speech that was welcomed with loud applause. i list that weasel promised to revive energy legs with russia, including part, restoring the damage node, stream pipeline system policy. when's the election van? we will put nord stream back into operation and you can count on that. we have already drafted many of the necessary laws and introduce them in parliament. all other factions have rejected them. i can tell you that when we are at the home, we will tear down all those wind turbines. those wind mills of shame,

a little stream system comprises multiple pipelines 3 which russia could provide relatively cheap supplies of natural gas directly to germany. the system was warranted in all for both 3 years ago when the pipelines were critically damaged and an act of sabotage western powers of the caves, you clarity and forces of bowman lowered, straightened, but pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist, civil hash insisted, and a detailed, also goals that it was a co, but us operation, also on political commentator at hendricks, her house essays a, as these initiative to restore node stream gas appliance could result germany's energy issues. and it wouldn't be good for germany. i think of the course energy harris, really expensive for several companies. so leaving germany because it's not economic a longer to work here. so cheap energy and cheap gas would be very

important for germans future. you can not have their or shut down or nuclear power plants and the same time you don't want to have russian gas. so what do you want? only with wind turbines, it's not possible to add 2 feet in the economy. what is the size of germany with energy it's, it's really not possible. and in the end, i would say they have these more pro russian. they want you to have normal relations with the russian. they want to end the boring and ukraine without delivering more weapons. so it will be really difficult for them. um, but i think they will get some, some more percent. maybe. maybe they're coming to a 2526 percent. i don't know exactly, but the, the electron is really soon. it's only 4 weeks. the facebook has taken a to a method you to find paddling on use of pro liberal sense of shape just ahead of trumps return to the white house. now, lock the bug is the one crime file let's he throws joe biden,

under the bus that came in. he was just following government orders, policies that don't close as it goes through the details. mark soccer berg went on joe rogan's podcasts to talk a lot of smack about his own company's fact checking program calling. it's something out of 1984. i mean, according to the sucker berg, he only made it that way because government spooks and the binding administration were forcing his hand, which is a pretty funny claim, considering just how gung ho, the ceo of meadow was about censoring content for the longest time, up until only now, i mean, back in early 2023 when the twitter files were just were still making a news headlines. it was an established fact that the social media giants, including facebook and really weren't going above and beyond to help the states sense or content. we learned twitter, facebook, google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government.

the f b i d h s h h s, d o d, the global engagement center at state, even the c i a for every government agency scanning twitter, there were perhaps 20 quads, i private entities doing the same, including stanford election, integrity, project, news guard, the global disinformation index and others, many tax payer funded now all of a sudden donald trump's coming to power with you on mosque to advise him and sucker burger saying that met is moving away from its fact checking program and towards something closer to x is sort of community notes on top of that met his offices are also reportedly removing tam ponds from the men's bathrooms and reported lee friends, people who are not going to be able to use those mens bathrooms either. and no doubt, this is somehow connected to the upcoming change in the white house and is making these chameleon change their colors as quickly as possible. the sounds while they're coming to the senses officer role. but it's not just is this sense of ship that's been a scandal with facebook. they've been in trouble before. i mean, they, of course they have. i mean,

we can forget the scandal connected to the political consulting firm cambridge analytics, which collected millions of facebook users private information without their consent for political advertising. and this is something connected to a lawsuit that facebook had to settled for handing that information directly to cambridge and a little com. and the dc attorney general said that mark zuckerberg was directly responsible. i just added mark sucker burke as a defendant in my lawsuit against facebook are continuing investigation revealed that he was personally involved in decisions related to cambridge analytics and facebook's failure to protect user data. this lawsuit is about protecting the data of half of all district residents and tens of millions of people across the country . we've taken our obligation to investigate wrong doing very seriously. and facebook should take its responsibility to protect users just to seriously thought all of a sudden

a lot of corporate chaos. and there been any whistle blows. of course, i mean 1st there was francis hogan who released tens of thousands of documents showing how facebook was contributing to ethnic violence and the number of countries and how it was actually knowingly contributing to the damaging of the mental health of teenagers. and then there was also sophie's ang, who said that she felt like she had blood on her hands after working for the company. and that the platform was being manipulated by political forces all around the world. i found multiple blatant attempts by for a national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry. and caused international news on multiple occasions. have personally made decisions that effective national presidents without oversight. and take an action to enforce against so many prominent politicians globally that i've lost count. so facebook's clearly got a history of doing whatever the government tells it to do. and this recent $180.00 from soccer bird really just looks like it's an attempt to start kissing the trump administrations. but ahead of time,

it was the lex involved with the of the book google archipelago say is that the, the scrambling to avoid folding file of the republicans behind that is uh, does that traverse a parent or at least feigned or pretended disappointment with the way the administration, the binding ministration forced him, he's as he puts a 2 sensor to sensor individuals and groups over the co would crisis and other issues like that. so he's just trying to gain favor with the trump administration by getting rid of that checkers and things like this . attempting to make facebook more like x just as x becomes more like facebook by the way. so that needs attempting to distance himself from the bottom

administration by making these kinds of moves and acting as if it was this. the government that forced him to do all of these things and not his own policies. right. savvy with us this sunday coming your way next august on the boy. though with the latest episode of wealth, pause as will be bought with one news and 13 minutes to then the hello and welcome to walter park. that we want you to forecast and steer global development. it's fair for has long been one of the west main competitive advantages,

allowing you to ride the wave of ever increasing influence until 2009. when the global financial crisis push the united states to set up to 20, to split the damage unless the brakes leaders to come together for the 1st time to advance the common good. 15 years on which of these 24 months looks more viable or more attractive to the rest of the world of to discuss that i'm now joined by paul and the gira, a brazilian economist and former executive director of the international monetary fund. mr. gary, it's good to see you again. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me here. now you've had a very interesting career having served in the old style that is western dominated financial institutions like they are math and also being associated with the new age group. things like breaks and new development bank. i wonder if you find the
