is the the parties headline story this our slovakia warren and it will come to ukraine if not the mirrors, zalinski doesn't presume that transfer of russian gas to europe also add on the program to south africa's ruling party would shape the country's piper independence celebrates its th anniversary we hear from some and see leaders applied what their priorities are for 2025 pounds. renewed controversy between paris and africa as president mach wrong for the sizes that continent for adult showing up for recognition of french policies in the region. it comes at several countries. the mon fronts with pro, it's for the,

with the recap of the past 7 days on right. to offer to the minute developments as well. welcome to the weekly news risk. poland has refused to allow a slovak delegation to fly through it. sir, a space on route to russia. the parliamentarians have already landed here in moscow for energy supplied talks, brought his lava earlier, threatened to sanction p. f. over a lot of years, a lin skis decision took up the flow of russian gas to europe. fine print on shots of a meat look slim. a lot of people out here in a situation where the ukranian government, the ukranian president decided to cut off our gas supply clean and refuses to transit it to slovakia. any that's fundamentally threatening really the energy security of slovakia and in a situation where the ukranian parliament passes a law that is supposed to prohibit the transport of the oil as well. and i just keep the to slovakia,

let's say we have valid contracts. so under such circumstances, my trip to ukraine is out of the question at the moment. and let's see if i have to go there just to take a picture. and they tell me that not a drop of oil or a cubic meter of gas is going to go to slovakia. oh, i really don't need to go there and they put you on a clock that will be what's the fact is the prime minister has joined the countries president in slopping. mr. zalinski, robert faith. so say he's, he's sick of seeing him. the monday him died from the west. a gosh, now is we do going to do cranium, president continues to damage us like this. if the courtney 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 out here 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 515000000 annually. first with ikea, 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 tool. actually, you members, state schools, 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 it's a,

it's kia, are asked by the make a choice. not that he wants to create drama. he says he isn't quote, interested in escalating tensions, but it's the problem isn't solved. so lock you will have to take put hard reciprocal measures shortly. he says, but brussel says that it doesn't see a problem here that they've been quote, working with the 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 the fact that the, 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 this 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 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 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 since last year. right now, there's also more dover, which was getting russian gas pipe through ukraine and into the pro russian enclave of transmission area. but then just decided to stop paying for it, wrapped up a $700000000.00 deck in the process, and then use the boat solving that problem by claiming that they just own the russian gas problem. 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 gonna do? cut you off for 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 these good, good, good. it was hard to get by with the electricity and gosh, voltages. the gas is running out and the 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. the through c is for the most of us. 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 with simply

doesn't look like the shoe store. we're all tied to electricity through 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 might often break out the turtle next and have the sweaters across the u again because winter gas storage is way down this year compared to the same time loss here as 69 percent capacity down from 84 percent right across europe. same in the you k where it's 26 percent lower, but no, nothing really to worry about. everything is 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 and the blocks chief diplomat. tie a callous to say that she's totally sure that all you countries are ready to continue to support ukraine to the point that the you will take over ukraine's

bills to the us under china kicks zelinski 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 track piece out here without a safety net. we heard from history in the list george summer, really on this he said he's the commission is likely to withhold energy support from slovakia if the country continues to charlotte and she creams, actually it is a very serious issue. i mean it's not just the loss of uh, gas uh for uh, slovakia but it's also a loss of revenue because um, so lock 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 to other other countries such as the czech republic and hungary. i

think it's going to get um a lot worse because the european commission isn't going to help of slovak. it's made clear that it really does. he does, they don't thing, but as the login deserves any help because it was so like, it has explicitly opposed you policy the warranty period. so i would expect the lock in now to take the steps that is making which, which is threatening to take, which is to stop selling electricity to ukraine. stop providing humanitarian assistance to ukraine and probably conflict cutting off uh, welfare to um, you ukrainian migrant. since the lock you building a site for a cabinet belongs to all, that's the rallying cry from president serial. at rama. post on the $100.00 on the 13th of history of the african national congress is establishment. mr. rome,

oppose. it is also head of the ruling, n c, which ships modern sites african this bottle for independence. the party originated as a liberation movement, fighting against apartheid and gain global support under the leadership of nelson montana and many, many economic problems in the country. the n c suite back into power last month. as the major partner in the coalition government, we spoke to the n c's 1st. deputy secretary general took us through the par. he's priorities for the year ahead. the new in the way that the upset for the company really is, but every time we spoke but i knew we had to do that. do i need to keep getting it all gets out and that's not important. that's everyone else has to be respected. we

need to add all of us together. so the g 20 to better you studied moment. we have properties that is not at. that's all we need to do. so the why can you are all set? and so how do 20 kenzie meaning the bandwidth? both parties is we're not changed because they have been part of it. we are able to explain what we either one of situations, but now what that people know part of that. and that's what there's no intention and attempt to try and our sense as you have read the never be persuaded to think about why this is a life,

it's split up the apps and cabinets, and that'd be more about that. and do i make the number of other goods that i'm taking that i love, what is the i've never been in the said about friends in inside that and locate the both the more than we do, the advocate that everyone wants to make use of it has to do that, they can be somebody from the, i mean a most french military with for oil, which has been going on from the sa health region of africa. president mcfarland, claim looters on the confident, have forgotten to die,

paris for supposedly allowing them to keep their sovereignty. that's supposed to be felt like france is not retreating in 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 am 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 vida is ingratitude. so much that the foreign minister update them on the column a lot is accusing faced 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 full for solving to do the 1st place without pulling the addison and the imperial waste is that person mcclung is facing a backlash even in his own country. his own people have a problem with him, and that's why the tad, the decision mcclung should focus on his whole country and his own people in french leaders must learn to respect the african people and recognize the value of their sacrifices. france has never endowed the child, the, an army and a significant way or contributed to it 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 his efforts on solving the problems that concern the french people.

the key for the cynical is 5 minutes dealt with my sancho has also joined the criticism rejecting in my normal crumbs assertion that african lead is full. the positions to face ministry support sancho says, france has neither the capacity move and digit to receive to a so after to secure you 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 to 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 countries, such as libya, with disastrous consequences, notate on the stability and security of the house. 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 hard 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 seen french politic 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, casualness 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 last we conflicted or rather confined to should be at the bottom, and it's only a matter of time before those countries also realize that and make the decisions to get from out of the a to retrieve. even then, the french president will deny his decisions. the western media you may have seen are spreading the news that damon will not be allowed to join the vatican's priesthood. in making the claim, a number of outlets have quoted, a new set of guidelines published by via tell you bishops conference in their interpretation, certain parts of the document for the law, homosexual men to train his priest in roman catholic seminaries, as long as they remain celibate directly contradicts pope frances is earlier recommendation that they should not seek to become priests. catholic new sites have

been quick to label the headlines of misguided as the rules on non admission of homosexual persons to the priesthood. do not change. the new intervention was made necessary after a partial and non contextualize reading by some press outlets of paragraph 44 of the document which addresses the issue of homosexuality in the formative path of seminaries. well, this is the reality. been nearly published guidelines repeats the 2016 statements which expresses at those who live a homosexual lifetime from at becoming clergy. now the confusion seems to stem from walton bishop's comment, implying that all seminary ends will be treated with respect as their personalities form under the churches, instruction not fonder of the you've done that organization straight nation. pastor martin, somebody offered his take on the misunderstanding. it can be 2 reasons. one to many

of the editors in this west on newspapers are themselves almost sexual. and they want to promote the l g, b to q agenda. so it could be that they did not read in detail. the implementation of a surprise to them, we kind of imagine maybe it was in the latin or maybe it was lost in the translation. but i think it's probably that it was interesting. i think in propaganda there was a method where you let the citizen message go out and appetite just been dirty. but then you denied that you did not say that message, but you're trying to call dish on the minds of people to believe that actually that's the true, i think. but to con, should make its position clear. i'm still dealing with, i'm be going to call the process has increasingly being shifting the church.

i'm from it's quite a summer to be because done to make it more accepting of homosexuality. but francis invites home with sexual inter they're brought to con. but frances is publicly st. watching dances from transgender processes on dams, countries like you go into which resist too much to try to. we know it's, this is i'm biblical. this is to be called to what does happen to the child to england and. 5 the whitland churches of the submittal discharge. in fact, it's coming to the point where it's the africans. what can we do this? uh, european of course, johns that you guys have abandoned the bible and you have tons of goods collab. when the issue was to try to to and you must be kind of christian again, just to give you a sense of what's being helping in

a run or defense trails of kicked off. or with the latest developments in ms saw on radar tech on display the, the exercise is happening in the northern western parts of the country and whole both the offensive and defensive maneuvers involve simulating operations to repel you of the attacks using talk to cold sales systems as well as shown under fired mist, silent units. the drills also featured cutting edge radar controlled artillery systems, which can be used the target fighter jets. the military whistle blowers have given closed door testimony, alleging the britain and special forces engaged in a deliberate policy of executing of guns civilians. the soldiers claimed that a rogue s s unit targeted meals young and old, even if they posed no threat to

u. k. troops and again that spock in focus suspected more crimes conducted enough down this down. as our correspondent eagerness, it's almost reports you case special forces in afghanistan, carrying the banners of freedom and human rights to protect the innocent. and this throne, whom they themselves have labeled as despotic oppresses while instead, they are now themselves being investigated for acts of barbarism and war. crimes by terms of reference require me to investigation reports for the extremely serious allegations searched for the extra 2 additional cleanings will carry dodging. navigating stone vipers use special forces between mid as 20 to mid to 13. so whether these were covered up. so what was the investigation carried out, but the role of the 2 police was fit to slip as 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 has 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 an image 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. cs combined is bread, a culture of fear within units and whistle blowing equaled treason. it appears with

respect to be from the face of the email 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. s. 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. well, the guy would have to be is simply to be of a sudden a age to end up when i hit the list. a fighting age you may was, in fact the term coined by the combined is,

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 starts it asking questions. what do 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 have 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, did recall becoming aware from at least 2 or 3 people of rumors that weapons had been over being taken on target and then dropped to give the impression that the deceased individual had been. and when shot such a dropped weapon was colloquially known as a mr. wolf. now the inquiry was established in 2022 following accusations that the royal police pro failed to properly investigate u. k. special forces, not rates and of gun that's done. and 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 as well. we spoke to a former aid to the country's national security advisor who sees the world is

finally seeing that more crimes were committed in afghanistan. such actions are extremely difficult to justify legally or ethically, particularly as the victims were an armed, and there were locked tubes in affiliations to the top on which undermines the principles of lawful warfare. the pro is likely to expand, uncovering more incidents and leading to potential legal actions and indictments for those implicated in war crimes, as well as just sematic reforms within the s a s. while the investigation into syria and similar allegations elsewhere suggests that tactics may have been more common. in s, a s missions globally reflecting a potential pattern of operations, conduct something that reflects very,

very clearly on any group in organizations leading it well not it is are lots for now here owner. but just to remind our teams website has all the stories you need to are you a heads all the aid from new week given look in the account, the by the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment as a patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. the point obviously is to makes a truck rather than fit the area. i mean,

with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody with him in the a robot must protect his phone, existence was on the literal ways to colon one struggling to proclaim the truth of the other. profiting and villainy. winston churchill, world war 2, the now become one of the most crucifix nato countries. you time to about 20 minutes. we sites hosting nato and us medically personnel in addition, and according to opponents defense ministry statements in the next 10 years. so we'll be more than a 100 new u. s. military base.
