the the, the we are in the center of garage from the city, surprisingly eas, who was entirely in touch the spots about who the wage for a month, p o r t becomes the 1st international news network report from a donuts for public logistics top that's been taken by russian troops. slovakia warns it will aid to crane and flattering zaleski doesn't resume the transfer of russian gas to europe. and renewed controversy between france and african states as president emanuel. my crohn criticizes the continental for not showing proper recognition of french policies in the region that comes to several countries declare paris should withdraw as for

the live in the russian capital, i'm rachel ruble. this is r t international. normality is gradually returning to a don best city that's been taken by russian troops. moscow says kia i have lost more than $15000.00 soldiers in the battle. for coo rock of our russian forces have now gained full control of the strategically important logistics up our keys were i guess the of is the 1st international news correspondent to exclusively report from the area. we are in the center of good rock about this easy, surprisingly is almost entirely intact. the spots a back to the wage for a months. here with the 1st press, the managed to ends up quarter. i'll cover the most dangerous pause, ease the drive to the city, across the plains and,

and fields. but the weather was all friend today. it was very foggy, almost new drones. the other remarkable thing about the garage is that a pre will population of 18000, almost a cold list. 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 created defends, as here, crumbled the russian soldiers we have spoken to say the city was completely unprepared for an in depth defense. the defensive positions that ukrainian military, it seems. he's suffering from oppression. the fight that they have pulled up here is the fight that they would have put up previously the parts of the soul in the

body, but in a box most embodying installed a dog. many of the cities that have been left devastated. these people, he of the thousands, the maids we spoke in the course of the day to many of them may have described. i read this things, they have said how they were abused, how ukrainian soldiers mud civilians here who they accuse of being phrases will staying to wait for russians for trying to re unite with 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 this as you. but as you can see, it is incredibly called, despite the fact that we have gone kilometers away from you crazy in positions,

they are still on the retreat and with the capture of good rock about which you create in force as 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 for many, many kilometers westwood towards the door the don't towards the appropriate. they're all regions. the battle for cut off is over. let's lock yeah. has reiterated as a threat to sanction key a after of a lot of minute. zalinski refused to keep russian gas flowing to european consumers through crime. this about president has ruled out going to care for tax, are in

a situation where the ukrainian parliament is adopting a law that intends to ban 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. slovakia as prime minister has joined the e u countries president in slamming zelinski. robert pizza says he is sick of seeing the training later by getting for handouts from the west. gosh, now is we do going to do cranium. president continues to damage us 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 credit and citizens who came to the slovak republic. since the start of the military conflict. well, and ukraine and brussels concluded to basically screw over e u countries, lights of the key uh, that were 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 500. 15000000 annually. first of all that yeah. and the potential here to another $1000000000.00 from having to pay more for gas uh, from other sources and well brussels tosses. cash it keeps like it's wrapped around a stripper pool. actually, you members, staples actually, i can't seem to get any love at home so, so vacuum prime minister robert pizza says that he's just going to march right on

over to the you in front of the energy commissioner and basically say, hey, it's here for us, buddy. 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 put 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 not last week, which is i guess, another merry band of dust 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 and 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 as a result of this latest active economic suicide. and well, that's because the market is already had to do that to be you would in fact do something really stupid to itself again, and that's already factored in the slightest se, into their projections before the new year pizza had warned in his new year's address, the trying to stick it to put in by going further into the whole, paying more for gas hiring to subsidize ukraine even more because it also cut off its own russian gas transit income and dealing with rising gas prices across the blogs. um, well, was it what winning was supposed to look like for the you hungry?

you can get russian gas or turkey at least, but it still recognizes how ukraine has basically screwed everyone over across the block. the development that led to the latest price increases was ukraine's cessation of the transfer of russian natural gas on its territory to central europe . since the end of the ukrainian transit route in mid december. the price of natural gas on the european market has increased by 20 percent. now hunger is energy supply secure, but ukraine's decision to stop transit shipments 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 in sloth, actually. right now, there's also more dover, which was getting russian gas pipe to ukraine and into the pro russian enclave of transmission area. 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 using the move. you see it for many years. russia supplied natural gas . thanks to which in fact trans and history a survive ship now, due to the decisions made by ukraine and the mode open authorities, trends in history a has lost that 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 is good. i'm going to, it's hard to get by with the electricity and gosh, hold of just the gas is running out and the right electrical blackouts, for example, today from 8 am to noon, and then from 6 to 8 pm. so for a total of 8 hours, we didn't have electricity through the 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. but those who do not have generators are forced to rebuild their lives to the new so called realities might often break out the turtle next and have the sweaters across to you again. because winter gas 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 b 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 slovakia. now saying that they're going to take drastic measures targeting way it considers to be inactive economic warfare against it by ukraine and the blocks chief diplomat. tie a callous to say that she's totally sure that,

oh you countries are ready to continue to support ukraine to the point that the you will take over your friends. bills to the us under chunk kicks zalinski 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 track piece out here without a safety net. and we heard from a senior research fellow at the global policy institute, george send me while a he says the you commission is likely to withhold energy support from slovakia if the country sprays from europe's pro ukrainian position. it is a very serious issue. i mean it's not just the loss of a gas uh for uh, slovakia, but it's also a loss of revenue because um, somebody is gonna have to pay a lot more for its gas. and those, those are so accurate and squared a lot of money uh through uh,

transiting gas through other other countries such as, uh, the czech republic and a hungry i think is going to get um a lot worse because the european commission isn't going to help us so voc, it's made clear that it really does. he does, they don't thing, but as the login deserves any help because it looks like it has explicitly opposed you policy the warranty period. so i would expect to lock in now to take the steps that is making which, which is threatening to take, which is to uh, stop selling electricity to ukraine. uh, stopped providing humanitarian assistance to ukraine and probably a couple of cutting off uh, welfare too. um you ukrainian migraine since the lock you are building a south africa that belongs to all. that is the rallying cry for president 0. run a post commemorating the 113th anniversary of the african national congress. rema

pose. that is head of the ruling amc that has shaped the south african history and its fight for independence. the party originated as the liberation movement fighting against apartheid under the leadership of nelson mandela at squeaked by in the mail actions and is focusing on the future. and the country's economic growth to show up the new coalition government we've heard from the south african foreign minister says brooks is the central part of that future. the very seems to be a little overboard that is able to help us with a logo or to to us the is for the development of the home.

but also for the, for the picture that most of the solve it continues to be in the country and really save lives under the go button. financial institution funding to try to do it as well as the most of the c j. a politics are also important for south africa and it has played a key role in opposition to the war and gaza. the and c's 1st deputy secretary general says that's not going to change regardless of the pressure washington may apply really is, but every time we've started but i knew we had to do that, do i need to have to get it all gets out and that's not important part is we're not changed because of the new government. they have been but we are able kids play no,

we are the ones we made out of situations. but what would that be part of that? and that's what there's no intention, and i will never be persuaded to things. otherwise, there is a life, it split up the absent cabinet. and do i make the number of other goods that i'm taking that i love, what is the i've never been in france as president. my cronsa is african leaders have forgotten to st. paris for supposedly enabling them to keep their sovereignty to several african nations have ordered all french troops to leave their territory. both frances, not retreating and africa, is re organizing itself. we chose to move out of africa, not because we had to move out. it was our commitment against terrorism since 2013 . we were right. i think some african leaders forgot to say thank you. it doesn't

matter. it will come with time. in gratitude, i'm in a good position to know is a non communicable disease of humans. but i will say it for all the african rulers who have not yet had the courage, abuse of either public opinions to say it. none of them would be a sovereign country today, if the french army had not deployed in this region. chad has been one of those rejecting mclelland's claims of african v does is ingratitude so much that the foreign minister update them on call them a lot. is accusing face praise of the menu on the chronic of solving to stay in for africa on those remarks. any further experiencing his concerns over the president's remarks, the minutes to emphasize the french leaders must respect africans, but africa wouldn't have for, for solving to do the 1st place without calling the addison and the imperial waste is that person, my crime is facing a backlash. even in his own country, his own people have a problem with him, and that's why the tab, the decision

a crime should focus on his whole country and his own people. french leaders must learn to respect the african people and recognize the value of their sacrifices. france has never endowed the chaldean army in a significant way or contributed to its structural development. and it's 60 years of presence marked by civil wars rebellions and prolonged political instability. the french contribution has often been limited to its own strategic interests, with no real lasting impact on the development of the child. the young people, instead of attacking africa, president mac crohn should focus is efforts on solving the problems that concern the french people. the key for the cynical as prime minister was my sancho has also joined the criticism, rejecting emmanuel, my crumbs assertion that african lead is full. the positions to face ministry support. sancho says franz has neither the capacity move and digit tennessee to

a sole advocacy true to either the sovereignty. i would like to say that in the case of send a goal, this statement is completely erroneous. no discussions or negotiations have taken place the date and the decision taken by sent a goal stems from it so will as a free, independent and silver and country. finally, he declares that no african country would be silver and today, if fronts had not deployed. let us know that france has neither the capacity nor the legitimacy to insure africa, security, and sovereignty on the country. it has often contributed to destabilizing such an african country, such as libya, with disastrous consequences, notate on the stability and security of the health. finally, it is the place to remind president mac chrome, that if african soldiers sometimes forcibly mobilized, mistreated and finally betrayed, had not deployed during the 2nd world war to defend fronts. it would still be perhaps today, german, even more close,

most loyal supporters of which they are increasingly few in front would be very hot priests to say he has been successful on the african continent. and it seems like his countrymen also off the view that he has lost his touch. we all seeing fates, politicians taking to social media and media other platforms expressing via and go over the remarks and decisions off the face of president president my crowns remarks about the supposedly negotiated departure of the french army from senegal. and chad are denied by both countries. once again, casual and this and uncontrolled words are worsening. our country's international relations in subordinate diplomacy will allow other results when the time comes over the past few years, the phones has been forced out of more than 70 percent of the african nations. we have previously maintained it submitted to prisons and today it's false. is the last, the conflicted, or rather confined to she puts you at the bottom and it's only a matter of time before those countries also realize that and make the decisions to

get from soft off the to retrieve. even then the face president will deny his decisions. when do they madiba, journalist, and present, or at the insight factor assessment, cron statement clearly reveals how france looks down at its former colonies. the lift and the all in terms that we keep out of those cell regions and know they're kicked out by the applicant people. so we don't know why don't you know countries you know, right and dismiss because of present because of my putting these policies. you know, so it's at this level for him to say that, you know, i think it's just been, it's, i think it's a, it's a big embarrassment for you maintenance foreign policy to be kicked out of africa. but the so many as far as, as, as, as, as, as, as piggyback and the use of the african people, you know, was a pass is what it is today because of the swedes in the black, african people and the results of effort that, you know, i think it's just another example of colonial, an imperialist arrogance from made them a credit itself. you know, it's just an example of seeing advertising of, uh, as another playground,

no thoughtful voice been countries and imperial because the countries are coming to advertise to the resources. because i'll say that the french lips because they want it to go, it's a few i live there with the retention to keep out for the people. chaos crowds and pepper spray the eastern germantown of breeza, had it all on saturday nights as liberal protestors at the streets to disrupt the conference at the right wing alternative for germany party. the demonstration delayed the f. these key congress by an hour as delegates struggled to reach the venue. thousands of people reported late joined to the protest and 6 emergency service workers were injured in the chaos. they of the party lead or criticized the quote, self proclaimed defenders of democracy, accusing them of intolerance, but noted they failed to prevent her nomination for transfer. for now show the if the in 2nd place ahead of february's elections following the collapse of incumbent . chancellor shaw says coalition government,

so as class has wrapped it outside the if the candidate for national chancellor gave a speech that was welcomed with loud applause. alice vidal promised to revive energy links with russia by restoring a crippled gas pipeline system. if her party comes to power 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 windmills of shame. one of the gas pipelines from russia to germany were bombed in september 2022. some western powers have blamed a group of road ukrainians, but american journalist seymour hersh claims the us sabotage the pipes. if the problem at members to fund quite or explains the parties position on this and other issues we have chosen the. busy a candidate, so chancello and germany fund the election so can just talk and make some 6 months

. it's a hell, it's vital. it was all the voices. so it was very successful that it shows how appropriate for the election and its re migration if the people not integrated. and so there's no reason to rap them getting germany to sent them back. we're open to m f d supply and we want to reopen of this as well to mister slide also said we want to reopen the north street pipelines and we want to step back to rushing oil. i guess the st. james, are a big problem for us, for our economy. and also for the good relationship, sofa restaurant germany. and we have to rewind this. we are buying energy from, from sofa, from the states like saudi arabia, weight. and so it's built by us companies and the u. s are selling, the freaking gets to us for much more of a higher prices that we bought the russian gas. so they are a 14 of these. and it also has to do political up to the us as support to ukraine

to struggle against the russia. so they, for samantha interest would be 10 restaurants. and so that's that most of the financial supply here. this is not, i don't want this model from 6. we should step out of this and you should stop debris of weapons. we shouldn't stop funding. so the supply, business mode or conflict, we should stay out of this. if you ask me, i understand the rest of the perspective very well. so if we, if you would say, should weapons into, well, the, the us would have a big problem. they don't want to have a for 10 should stress and that god and this is good, right? don't click united states, but it's also good, right? or russell not to have put 10 such threats. if they have daughters like you pray, well, do stay with us here on our t international off next. oscar mills with my colleague, its shape as the

you what? so you go on, you to new. oh, you know, he's here next week. go with it off the hey everybody, welcome back to the most. come use. welcome to 2025. good to see all again. we're still here. well, we are kind all still here. our little friend, doggie. this isn't with us tonight. um and you know, gender realignment surgery can have serious complications, particularly if you're, i'm certain that destiny. and sadly, i have to announce that now he's still holidays if you will. this next week, are actors doing the page turn and force. so when we start to think what well, i think we ought to start and to go to all usa, i mean look the big on new on that haven't even got in mind a desk yet,

and they're really shaking the tree upside down. incredible stuff. know who was the 1st people from the 1st victims, if you like, of the, the big gun and the loan or the loan or whatever you wanna call them. hey, i think it was definitely our ask for the year. remember, good old and justin to go too sweet to be wholesome. we gave him the award last week. we thought he was going to be on his way out soon. i'm sure as heck is watching him, get full by you on and on. and the whole crew has just been to sway to ignore. let's have a look at us on the front, on the video or a side over getting my kids to the decision for them sharing the content to resign. as far as the prime minister party select next to bus nationwide competitive. oh gosh, we're going to miss you just and we're gonna miss you so bad. oh,

not so where you know, just in his great achievements. you know, he did achieve great things. uh, making sure that a big chunk of death and kind of the how her boy arrangement with, you know, assist the dying. you know, he did protect the l g b t clued the blue hair brigade. he didn't says that the nazis wouldn't be revealed . the big list of the people that gave sol as the after the 2nd world war and case it upset canadians. so we do a lot for a tiny little minority. he did a lot for the tail that was wagging the dog. he didn't do much for the truckers, protesters, he didn't do much during cold, but he was a bit of an a for a terry and ask only i think so you got to ask yourself what exactly what the international community say when the president elect on even the president decide, so he's going to basically annex a sovereign territory, take it over, maybe the panama canal. how, you know, maybe canada, you know, what else? where else are you interested in? oh yeah, a green land, a vast territory, full of mineral level, talking about them

a 2nd. i'm sure the international community would absolutely have a meltdown. i know so many, quite close to here, just up the road actually went along running territorial dispute with a bunch of nancy's work here with these people just across the board. are you worried about it for 30 years? no one, listen. finally, at the crossover, coca cola was gone, ford was gone, everybody was gone, everyone walked out, still window. keep it yourselves. let's have a look at the big don. doing kind of just the same thing and everyone's just giggling about it on the video or, i mean, i see this, i like i did so in cuttings, the ok, the even bond parole russian cuts from international competition. let's get serious for a 2nd. a lot of the west or media, the climb, media calling, you know, the big donald lunatic. he's mine, he's crazy company doing this type of stuff. what's the reason? well, i can tell you what the reason is. maybe he's a very far side and then.
