of the we are in the center of good rock this easy and surprisingly is almost entirely in fact, this part about who the wage for a month p a r t becomes the 1st international news networks report from not doing that super public logistics top that's been taken by russians for the vakio warrens that will cut aid to praying that flattereth landscape doesn't resume the transfer of russian gas to europe and renewed controversy between transcend the african states those presidents emanuel, my chronic, criticizes the continents for not showing proper recognition of french policies. in the region that comes in several countries declare paris should withdraw. it's for the

you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. their malady is gradually returning to a don bass city that's been taken up by russian troops. moscow says he have lost more than 15000 soldiers in the battle for crock of up. russian forces have now gained the full control of the strategically important logistics hub ortiz broadcast. you have is the 1st international news correspondent to exclusively report from the area. we are in the center of colorado, but the cc surprisingly is almost entirely intact. the sports above the wage for a months here with the 1st press, the managed to ends the quarter. i'll cover the most dangerous pause, ease the drive to the city,

across plains and fields. but the weather was all friend today. it was very foggy, almost new drones. the other remarkable thing about the football club. is it 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 the fed. does. he have crumbled the russian soldiers that 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 are being left devastated. these people here, the thousands, the roommates we spoke and the cost of the data. many of them may have described as 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 the city. 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 of which you paid in full says describe this of 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 baffle for crossover is over. poland has refused to allow a slovak delegation to fly through its air space on route to russia. the parliamentarians have already landed in moscow for energy supply talks that has brought us lava, threatened to sanction kia vladimir zalinski is decision to cut the flow of russian

gas to europe via ukraine. the move prompted to slip like head of state to rule out talks and key f 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. and somebody has prime minister as joined to the you countries president in slamming the landscape. robert pizza says he's sick of seeing the ukranian later, begging for handouts from the west. a 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, 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, and ukraine and brussels concluded to basically screw over e u countries. lights of dock. 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 here to 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 tool. actually, you members, state schools, actually i can't seem to get any love at home. so, so vacuum prime minister robert pete, so 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, 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 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 group not 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 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. 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 year's address the trying to stick it to put in by going further into the whole paying more for data, 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 for 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. 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 hungry 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 installed 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 used about 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 some trans and history a survive shift 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 good, good. i'm good you, it's hard to get by with the electricity and gone show that just means the gas is running out and dry 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're all tied to electricity through the 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 reality, which 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 the europe. same in the you 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 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 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 who 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. i'm building a south africa that belongs to all, that's the rallying cry for president. so around the post marketing the 113th anniversary of the african national congress. i am opposed to its head of the ruling amc that has shaped the south african history and its fight for independence . the party originated as a liberation movement,

fighting against apartheid under the leadership of nelson mandela. it squeaked by in the may elections and is focusing on the future and countries economic growth to shore up the new coalition. governments. we heard from the south african foreign minister who says brakes is an essential part of that future of the toner wherever they seem to be a little overboard. that is able to help us at a low, low to, to, to help us to resolve the is mrs. sorry, the luxury needs for the development and the other ones are for the, for the picture that most of the group on it

continues to be in the country and really save lives on the entire global financial institutions funding to try to do it as well as the most of the legit politics are also important for south africa and it has played a key role in opposition to the war and gaza they and sees 1st deputy secretary general says that won't change regardless of the pressure washington may apply on the tablet. so that i knew how to do that, do i need to have to do to get out? and that's not important. part is we're not changed because of the new government. they have been but we are able to kids, they know what we either one of situations, but what would that be part of that? and that's what they've no intention and attempts to take will never be

persuaded to things. otherwise, this is a life, it's split up the applicant, it's not good. and do i make the number of other goods that i'm taking that our policy has never been right? francis presidents from a cronsa is african leaders have forgotten to think, paris for suppose a lie, enabling them to keep their sovereignty. that's a simple african nations have ordered all french troops to leave their territory. that's supposed to be followed through france is 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 updated them on quote them a lot. is accusing face praise of the menu on the crunch of solving to stay in for africa on those remarks. any further expressing 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 pulling 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 tad, the, this is mcclung, should focus on his whole country. and his own people with 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 chrome should focus his efforts on solving the problems that concern the french people. even cynical as prime minister was my sancho has also joined the criticism rejecting in my normal crohn's assertion that african lead is full. the positions to face ministry support, sancho says, friends has neither the capacity to move in digits and receipts to a so asked because security 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 to date, and the decision taken by send a goal stems from it so well 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 ensure 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 physically to students 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 as the losely conflicted or rather confined to the bottom. and it's only a matter of time before those countries also realize that and make the decisions to get from us off to off the to retrieve. even then the french president will deny his decisions. k us crowds and pepper spray the

eastern german town of re it's a have it all on saturday that says liberal protesters hit the streets to disrupt the conference of the right way. alternative for germany party the, the demonstration delay the f. these key congress by an hour, as delegates, throttle to reach the venue. thousands of people, the quarterly joined to the protest and 6 emergency service workers were injured in the chaos. they asked the party lead or criticize the quotes and self proclaimed defenders of democracy, accusing them of intolerance, but noted they fail to prevent her nomination for chance. our souls now show the ac and 2nd place ahead of february. the elections, owing the types of incumbent transfer shelters pulling machine government, well as punches erupt, it outside the a if the candidate for national chancellor. david's speech that was welcomed with loud applause. l. as the vidal promised to revive energy links with russia by

restoring a cripple, the gas pipeline system, if her party comes to power van, we will put annoyed 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 have changed on 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 has claimed the us sabotage the pipes. if the parliament members stefan clay to her, explains the parties position on this sense. other issues. we have chosen a candidate for chancellor in germany for the election. so i'm just talking back since next month. it's alex vital with all the voices. so it was very successful that it shows our program for the election and it's re migration if the people are

more integrated and so that there's no reason to rap that and you and germany to sent them back. we are open to empty supplies and we want to reopen this as well to mrs. white also said we want to reopen the north street pipelines and we want to step back to rush you or like guess the sanctions are a big problem for us, for our economy, and also for the good relationships. so for us at germany, 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 us are selling, the freaking gets to us for much more higher prices that we bought the rest of gas . so they are a 14 office. and it also has to do political up to the us as supports the ukraine and the struggle against the rest of us. so they force the interest rates in

restaurants. and so that multiple full financial supply we, this is not, i don't want this month or something. we should step out of this and you should stop delivery of weapons to be sure to some fund. and so the supply business mode. oh, i think we should stay on this. if you ask me, i understand the rest of the perspective very well. so degree, if you would, station weapons in cuba, the us, whatever big problems they don't want to him for $0.10 rest and that god, this is good. but it's also good for us to have put 10. so there was some really troubling disclosures for to now military whistle blowers have given close to door testimony that britain, this a special forces engaged in a deliberate policy of executing again civilians. the soldiers alleged that a road. yes, they asked unit targeted males, young and old,

even if they posed no threat to troops. that's all about the possibility of suspect and war. crimes conducted in afghanistan are corresponding on the story is eager stand you case special forces in afghanistan, carrying the banners of freedom and human rights to protect the innocent and the throne, whom they themselves have labeled as despotic oppresses while instead, there are now themselves being investigated for acts of barbarism and war crimes, by terms of reference require me to investigation reports on extremely serious allegations. for the extra few additional cleanings, what carrier dodge you navigate is done by brochure special forces between mid 20 to mid to 13. so whether these were covered up said whether the investigation carried up by the role of the police was fit to slip

us. well, it seems beyond says ok, yes, they to place. yes, they will cover it up and no the police investigation was unsatisfactory. testimonies of the 1st batch of special forces soldiers have been published, and they owned proud. one of the with this is told the inquiry that the u. k. lead troops as a, quote unquote, golden. take it to get away with mazda, which was itself a bit utilized, and normalized when you describe what he said is more graphic, can you give us an example or an explanation of what you mean by that words that had been used about killing were like flat packing, flat, packing them, or witnesses well grunted and then they would see to ensure that they felt safe sharing what they know. names ranks places according to an informant going on to the alias and $1799.00. a cs combined is bred a culture of fear. we've been units and whistle blowing equaled prison. it appears

with respect to be from the face of the e mail west than that, because in the 1st line it refers to a thing has occurred to ensure that the stuff offices keep their mouth shut. is that how you read that? that is exactly how i read that sir. yes. basically there appears to be a culture there of shut up. don't question in coming forward and giving evidence both in your statement and to the inquiry today. do you regard yourself as someone who is broken the code of silence? yes. as to how that might be perceived by others within the why the u. k. s f community? is there a danger that you might be branded as a trait to? yes. according to the transcripts of testimonials, the british se yes, didn't dig deep, and it's supposed search for terrorists. sometimes all the guy would have to be is simply to be of a certain, a age to end up when i hit the list. a fighting age may was,

in fact the term coined by the c'mon does, according to and 1799. and the policy was clear, execution and it gets even worse because evidence would be planted on the body just in case anyone started asking questions. but you understand from what he said to you that he was suggesting that it was those of a fighting age. yeah. any man capable of picking up a weapon or any very young man capable of picking up a weapon. and as you have just described, could include those who are under 18 as young as 16 or younger 100 percent. it was comfortable as if this is part of standard operating procedures. it was almost doctrinal, it was normal. but i suppose what shocked me most wasn't the execution of potential members of the taliban, which was of course, wrong and illegal. but it was more of the age and the methods and you know, the details of things like pillows. that's what really is what shocked me and made me think long and hard about what to do with what i've been told. you describe

a particular instance where a pillow had been put over the head of someone before they had been killed with a pistol. is nothing interpretation by you of what had been said or does that properly describe one of the things that he and 2101 said to you? yeah, that is what was described. and 1799 digit code becoming aware from at least 2 or 3 people of room is that weapons had been over being taken on target and then dropped to give the impression that the deceased individual had been when shot such a dropped weapon was colloquially known as a mister wolf. now the inquiry was established in 2022 following accusations that the royal police pro failed to properly investigate you case special forces night rates. and i've gotten this done on these initial revelations with more witnesses in the pipeline to suggest the chem and might end up with a lengthy list of names to be indicted on war crime charges. all right, well that is going to do for me for now,

but do stay with us here in archie international. my colleague, the union o'neill will be in next to about half an hour with work by the hello and welcome to walter part that we want you to forecast and steer global development in stanford 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 g 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 will to discount 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 senior 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. then i wonder if you find the item that's experienced in any way helpful to sort of observing what's happening with brakes these days. in many ways, yes. what if i were to select one thing that i learned from the my experience of 8 years in, in washington, indiana math. it is that the current, international monetary and financial assist dominated by the united.
