[000:00:00;00] the, the must go with say that you printing and drones dry go. the energy infrastructure in southern russia has been for to i'm great, he's cold and i'm at sol, solved summer tate, of the compressor station in question supplies gas to europe and for that church stream pipeline. also head on the program, a cease fire and hostage release. speaking between our mazda and israel, is pulled very close by pointing to an arc new source in the middle east coast. a following. the recent thing dropped off. pull the sizes take to the streets, sold to the rest of the remaining. is presidential election as a know the for a pro,

a you cover that last the boat with this not election foster approaching germany. they face a similar scenario according to a former condition. the one minute past 10 p. m and chip booty, a here in most welcome to the global use right. henry's foreign minister has commented on ukraine's failed attack on energy infrastructure in southern russia. on monday, the target a gas compressor station supplies. i'm chris trip stream pipeline on peter c. r to say is the root isn't in the spend simple parts of central europe to dallas supply chain, i'm it security is a part of mine. port a tuck is current cable is indispensable in the natural gas supply and hungry and central europe. security of energy supply is a sovereignty matter. therefore,

every action that threatens the security of all energy supply must be considered an attack against sovereignty. what we understand is a great deal of outrage and rightly so, because we understand the developments over the course of the past 72 hours suggests ukraine is in a position to put europe on edge, especially by sabotaging it's sovereignty with respect to energy needs. and we understand that the ministry of defense of russia issued a statement monday, suggesting that the ukrainians did caveat on attack. and about 9 kamikaze drones were down as a result and the compress the station in the southern rush of the part which essentially ties into the black sea was attacked and received minor damage and nothing major was destroyed as a result of the attack operations were not disrupted this is according to the energy company that is currently operating as the pipeline on the russian. and then we understand that this current position or this current moment, there is a great deal. that is to be said, we understand the ministry of defense of russia issued

a statement providing further detail on january 11th, 2025. the key of regime in order to stop gas supplies to european countries, attempt to do an attack using 9 aircraft type. you avi's on the infrastructure of the russian compressor station in the village of geico, the zoo and the crowds know the region which supplies gas through the tucker stream pipeline. the statement provided by the ministry of defense came on monday, stating that the attack happened on saturday. of course, we understand the past 72 hours have been quite crucial, but that's not to say that russian authorities were not in contact with their turkish counterparts. because on sunday, the russian ministry of def, sorry, the ministry of foreign affairs issued a statement suggesting the russian form minister, 2nd lover of held a phone conversation met with his truck, is counter part. how come to done to disagree us as we might as pertaining to ukraine without saying anything to specifically keeping a bit vague but more diplomatic said that the 2 sides of course, discussed the need to focus on preventive actions. aimed at creating risks for

energy security. and this energy security of course, is not a matter that just pertains to russia or turkey. but many who of course, benefit from the church stream. we understand on the 1st of january, a 5 year deal between ukraine and russia came to an end. russia was adamant in 1st continuing that deal to ensure that energy flowed into europe butts. ukraine, of course, opposed it. and we also recall the north stream attacked in 2022, which rendered a great deal of russian exports to germany as well as the rest of the e. u, essentially meaningless. and this of course leads to other alternatives. the blue stream and the church stream growth, which run under the black sea, serves not just russian or turkish and interest, but we understand that it also serves the interest of countries like hungry serbia, boston hartzog, avina, slovakia, as well as greece. this is a significance step. this is a significant development if we take all of this into context. and we also understand that there's been a great deal of opposition,

or at least the slow but prime minister has been quite vocal in his position, suggesting that the ukraine in a liter of let him is unless he is someone who rooms europe begging and black mailing western nations and the hope of extracting more military assistance to find russia. we understand that much of the motives of course, is going to be under speculation. we understand russia as a choose ukraine of sabotaging these energy deals for the past few years. however, that is also in line with reports that are coming out of military intelligence from the german side, as well as the dutch side. suggesting that over the course of the past 2 years, ukraine has to be interested, or at least flirting with the idea of attacking the church stream in the black sea . and we understand, of course, this was headed by the former commander in chief of ukraine. and this, of course, a significant step moving forward. peter c. r to is singled out the turk stream as a crucial energy supply route for europe. can you tell us a little more about the role. busy that it plays well. first and foremost,

we understand the church stream was established by russian and turkish companies. there was a great deal of the nation. we understand that the compressor se should sort of rush out, of course, leads into the black sea and into your code. there is a receiving station. we understand that russians are to, to that point were of course committed to the project independently. and then we of course take into consideration the lives of 100, which of course, helps further the project, understand that the current moment there is a 2nd pipeline that of course distributes the energy to the state of georgia. and another one that runs through europe leads to the your opinions and be understands how do i just get a moment is quite a adamant of both over this position if we had to come to the friendly pressure against the tucker stream years ago, we would now be in a very, very difficult position as a landlocked country. now we've heard a lot from leaders in europe. we've heard from russian authorities up until this point. we have not heard anything from the charger side. so it's going to be

important to see what the trucks have to say with respect to the allegations that are rising as a result of the attack on saturday. yeah, that's the story. let's get some reaction to it from political science, academic catch, martin, or to pollute university mcmann. rocky public. sir, you're most welcome. what was your reaction to the turkish stream pipeline, a crucial energy supply route for europe coming under a tuck? was it a surprise or was it in keeping with t as recent attempts? it was close. i was surprised and shocked once one of your colleagues told me about the situation since the pipeline is around 1000 kilometers long dimensional, across the pipeline project, running from russia to cheat on the under the black sea. it is n a n n a.

now i know the annual child support cup of tea of o tow to 1500000000 cubic metters of natural gas. so this, the project consists of at least 2 main pipelines. one of one of them is that the k to to a k or supplying to cheese domestic consumption. and the 2nd one is delivering, or does it dedicated to deliver a natural gas at the salt and salt east european countries for, for russia, this pipeline service serves as an important a route that's bypass you bring. what is for to the key is to kind of strategic initiate that most of its energy, security and costs of these. it's rolling in the origin of energy, right? so the pipeline became operation in, in 2024 or 5 years ago. and has been running uninterrupted ever

since. so it's a kind of a total rising energy which, which has been also framed by lots of talk of the machines and also a politicians hungry is foreign minister emphasize that energy security. it's a solve written state monitor with thought in view should this incident be viewed by such states affected as an attack on their own energy security. of course, in order to security remains the cornerstone of any states or an a t as the 4 hundreds for the ministers in emphasizing this press vote on the lines of the kind of fundamental aspects of international relations, which is the protections, the protection in the diversification of energy resources and, and supplies supplied roads. it is, is a kind of critical national interest. any effect on such such

a whitefield infrastructure volt, especially one connecting multiple countries. and can thus begin to it into the interpreted not merely as an isolated x of several types, but as a direct cycling energy security of these states we try to reach out to involve. so this perspective lends a quick then to viewing the types the incident or at tech as a more than technical or look, look, live disruption, brother. it implies what implicates the brothers stuff is a calculus of the region including calm life or adverse of other cities at perceive the respective vulnerabilities. yeah, in this conflict is increasingly going beyond and russia and ukraine. now you have to t a at being affected. do for see

a reaction from i'm crush. what do you think i could be seen in terms of our response as well? to do it is still difficult position and its role in managing the, the follow the flow of energy in from russia to europe. so g a is direct to the affected by these developments. but i think that of at least 2 complimentary touch activities for the, for to genius response. the 1st one is the domestic mediation. 54 inputs from 2022 to g. a main to think. relations being both must go into you put into signs the don't want to go 1st to end the volt. that complete and i just stopped by david the type of situation. so she can, you know, increase it's, let's say attempts for most to diversify its energy supplies. the 3rd one is

enhancing the security code. the nation seems to, to yet may say may, it may seek more robust called called the nation with regional partners, or even consider expending, met and secured with the majors to protect the critical energies for such just such as a tube stream. very interesting indeed, lots to ponder. there we've been listening to assistant professor martin are typically university in the department of political science and international relations like med bracket popular. thank you sir. thank you know their big story of the day. a brick through deal between is real. i'm come, us is close. that's according to an r t source who told us the final draft of a ceasefire and hostage release agreement is currently being reviewed. that followed recently, wrapped up talks between the 2 sides in the guitar. a capital r t correspondent research that has more the multiple sources in numerous reports

say that the deal between israel and her boss is closer than ever. and indeed a roman mentally sources also earlier confirmed that's to all t the agreements that could bring hostages home. and of course, paid the way to ending the states and conflict in gaza, which has claimed over $46000.00 lives according to local health officials, both sides race. to finalize this though, before january 20, as president elect donald trump warned earlier that's without resolution before he's in of the ration. hell will break out in the middle is we send high level meetings with the participation off is really an american delegations with the representatives from both current and incoming administrations along site guitar. we on addiction mediators, has been essential in brooklyn disagreements recently and amenities choice. and discussions took place in doha, on monday with final details were discussed. and we heard that have boss was sent

a draft proposal earlier approved by israel and telling me there's no way to forward the response from the militant group, but some unconfirmed reports already say that the draft has been approved by him boss leaders, a broad and everything now depends on how much send war, who is, how masses the fact to a leader in guys on the ground, the wrong $98.00 captives can't be held in guys if we've at least $36.00 of them. fear is dead. so official numbers could be even higher. so what does this new deal involve? the 1st 40 to die stage. we'll start with a 10 per we cease. fire is ready for that as well. withdrawal from crowded areas and aerial strikes will be limited. importantly, to understand that israel will maintain control all the philadelphia cord or along the gals that age of older during these phase, and will not for the withdrawal from this refund. so every last addict is fraid.

and the 1st phase, how mazda is set to release such a 3 is where the hostages civilians, women, children, and the elderly, referred to as humanitarian cases. and in return, israel will release how the student prisoner is also focusing on women and miners based on pre approved lease. but we do not know the exact number yet. a key point. anyone released by israel will not face re arrest for past defenses. however, that is deemed that heavy weights such as those with the blah them, their hands will not be released to the west bank. we here, but where it to most likely to gas, where they could easily be targeted by i g. f. a certainly have mazda demands they'd be sent somewhere else to katara turkey. this remains unclear so far how this will be settled, so we are waiting for official announcements again,

on the humanitarian front, we can expect 600 trucks of age, 2 floating daily to restore, essential infrastructure, and provide urgent relief. as you remember, they have money to run the situation and the strip is catastrophic. 15 months have to the beginning of the war, talks about phase 2 will start 2 weeks into the 1st stage and phase 2 will last another $42.00 days. during the reach remaining hostages will be freed, including is really soldiers high. israel will then withdrawal completely from the gaz. 3 pad hostilities will cease when we hear that withdrawal process will be gradual. not a one time departure, and that's how is real, will make sure that her mouse actually implements big a big deal and the terms of the agreement. also note for saving israel will establish at boxes between its territory and the gas a straight to protect its southern regions. which means i,

we have troops will be deployed along the security fence inside gaza. israel will implemented security measures as well from the nets. hiring corps, either that is a line, how that cuts the in place into 2 to the north to facilitate civilian crossings. and while these marks as significant breakthrough, of course, pressing questions were made and perhaps the most critical of all as well. this actually and the war from us i use to retain in power while israel will not seize facilities of list have moss is completely removed from and his decision making rows. again, this part is not clear yet, but i have to say that note, all factions within israel supports a still finance minister and small trait to leader of a hard line nationalist party part of the time. yeah, who's call lucian has been a very vocal critic labeling disagreement as a catastrophe for israel security. he has been advocating for ongoing military

action against from us and more military pressure. early on monday, small afresh was confronted by relatives of his rarely hostages. who criticized. he stands on the deal and dozens of family members, many clutching photos of the missing loved ones. packed accuse me to ruin the do and the budgets have maintained budget session there and the motion will show down . last that over an hour, we saw me in tears accusing smoke for each of neglecting the $98.00 hostages. still in connectivity in the gaza street. however, some relatives are not in favor of this phase approach to the hostages release, expressing concern, but time is running out for their loved ones. and they say they want to see the returns hold as one says they or they are posted on the same boss. but again, it has the notice to show announcement so far and you still have to wait for a special confirmation. since somebody is willing to ortiz,

and from from us back to the sellers, things are taking to the streets, so the romanian capital to protest the cancellation of a 2nd round of voting in the countries presidential election. it's after an independent candidates with a pro peace and the nato message, one november's 1st rod, and according to a form, a european commissioner. the extraordinary enrollment may also be repeated in the use largest economy ongoing. let's wait and see what happens and for the time being, let's keep our cool and enforced our laws in europe. we need to be aware of the risk that our laws may be circumvented, and that if they are not enforced, it could lead to interference. we did it in romania, we will obviously have to do it if necessary in germany. so alexis, all st credit. but if be wrong, can't do that. when said, well, we're willing to be that credit to us. but as basically the message from uh, from a friend to you, commissioner terry pretzels,

who seems to be triggered by an online chat between, you know, most, i'm one of the candidates for the job and johnson i at the a, if these alice vital is fine for the top job in next month election. now the x o dot hard cool trump ally has really gained bit of a taste for politics ever since the box of pulls the winning full state side, but is increasingly been looking beyond american souls. and to be honest, he's been trolling politicians that they think then things like quote stupid questions. and so that's and everything. how it's so true to form. he did have a few words from this. you the astounding absurdity of terry brittle as tyrant of europe. tyrant of europe. wow. but no ilan musk the eu has no mechanism to nullify any election anywhere in e u, not at all. what is said in the video related only to the application of the dsa and it's moderation obligations lost in translation or another fake news. well, some of

a former comments thoughts track probably feels quite personal because of course we know that the video has very open and consistently fax, the alternative to job many policy. and the s p a has become a bit of a policy non growth within brussels. it's been smith this fall, right? it's on the investigation for extremism in berlin. and it's supposed to dismissal it this, they say, but we're me, friday really poses is to the low blessed ideology on things like well. well, the policy has perhaps that if it comes to power, it will stop on shipments to pray for example. and this message is gaining traction among significance waves of the german public with poles, placing them at around 20 percent, and david kept with the front runners of the race which card ending its touch website is closing the circuit button. and it says that his statement was misunderstood. is there anything they could do to actually notify the election? well, if the last 2 years have shown us anything,

it is not in this rules based on the rules are constantly changing. and even then we know that not everyone has to play by the so this landscape of what time and cannot be done is also constantly evolving. so i don't think that it's an exaggeration say that anything and everything is on the cards, especially when mistakes solve this. hi, we are not johnny, this is a bill biggest economy and the brought home was really do repaired, of course, the salon and beyond desire to see that the you a lead are experiencing about the upcoming assert much in the same way. actually as we sold brussels very know, obviously uh, watching the twin 2 twins to general election in my approach is that what ever democratic government is willing to work with us. we're working together. if they go in a difficult direction, i've spoken about hungary and poland. we have tools, i'm not a, you're a pin,

uh citizen, but i think if i was, i was sentenced in both voted to land and i brought homes was really an author content, not just an option of suffering, see, but also the will of the very people but they claim, at least to represent, really concerning and such to be the remaining and election last year. set a precedent for these kind of actions. can you take us through the situation in the balkans? well, i think the offence in bucharest, at the end of last year, at the very soonest edge of course, to brussels, was you'll recall that nato critic challenge which escrow secured victory in the 1st round of the elections. he'd upset to clinch the presidency to when suddenly it was decided that russia had in to say, advise social media. the results were just a note and the whole process will be re run. it's important to note that no evidence has yet been provided to support any of those matching claims. and in fact, an investigation by a know,

pull out that has revealed that it was actually not the political grouping in this new mason, the national liberal policy which hired us to launch a tick tock campaign promotes a particular hash tag. and it just ended up, in fact, firing in georgia, goes to eva instead, but still has, has that a total time being reinstated? no, of course, not meeting him. the suspect itself used to essentially this is a formalized qu, they taught the rule of law is in an induced coma. and justice subordinated to political orders has practically lost its essence. it is no longer justice, you know bays the orders, the corrupt the system and romania showed it's true faced by making a pact with the devil, sir. taken altogether pots and does much one can't help. but notice this selective approach when it comes to respecting the very bedrock of course of democracy and frustration on this issue is actually growing among member states when $10000000.00

us dollars was a legally channel to the hon, gary and left for the 2022 election campaign leads in brussels state, silent when the us embassy in budapest started distributing funding to left with media and eats and brussels. stayed silent when the hungarian parliament adopted the sovereignty protection law. to prevent such further interference, the european commission sued hungry and it only seems inevitable. busy that the more people i brought home go round saying the things that they all sang, the move but trusted institutions and governments of pulls will be on the mind. because instances like this really cost out over whom exactly will piece bureaucrats or rep presenting and all that preaching about democracy. well, if you don't live by the findings that you preach, then you'll nothing but a coma and precedent like you will use the wordpress impressed with this very dangerous thing because of the risk of sounding a dramatic. it really is just escaping

a hall from counseling. one election to counseling election or i'd always a good day when we can speak to berlin, parliament member for the alternative for germany parts, and mr. goodner, lynn, and then you are most welcome. so there we have, it's a former european commissioner declaring that the upcoming election in germany could meet the same fate as the and no poland romania, if there is any suspicion of elicit activity or interference in his words. how would you interpret tier re, brett holmes, comments with you guys of cause the system in the is a novice because they know a f d one to stop uh, to transfer a 1000000 bucks off for a year or to a was a plumber. german tax pay us, we say the get them problem and drum and maybe get rid of the reforms that you'll be in unit. i'm going to be only one. you will be in the corner on the union or not

so dictatorship of blizzard and the you, you will be in the community. now, as a former commissioner is not the only one who is set to the one to can. so the voting the same said the drum and the president time uh he said about the 2 weeks ago. so similar, similar ups that uh, in germany, my take happens the same, the same as the manual after the elections and the insect. if you look in the past, in the 21 election in the region of the election of the lien of the constitution caught off a valid uh can. so the election of a 1000000000 election. and as the constitution court can search a part of the faith of an election of 2021. so it is possible to be happen in germany as well as in it's happened in uh, well manual. but uh, in fact,

it really happened in germany. i mean, yeah. so people, they go into this page and uh, shows that portez, because they have the know is the, the advertising, we are over 20 percent. the last the announcement was 22 percent. and i said and gone to the election day and said, well, maybe it will be $25.00. why even more percent? and uh, if such a big good amount of people vote for the budget. uh, it will be very difficult to get 10 to the more things. yeah, in this situation though, overall that if a result is inconvenient to to the powers that be on the ball, it can simply be a button that due to claims about improved outside interference such as what we're seeing and romania, what consequences does this have for b e, u. brum, for instance. it's, it, maybe it's the end of the demographics is a, if the europe in

a gone. so really can so that election in germany via the constitution called because of a of d as in the, it will be the end of the democrats in european union. the, and the in germany, of course. so didn't really go on the street. we have seen in 1989, the venza people going this played against the government of east germany. and i'm sure the same. what happened is they, again to the elections. mister baton, used to 11 muskets vocal support for your party as possible. evidence of election interference does not claim hold any fruits on what do you feel when you hear it? has no choice. it would. mazda did not give us a one year, will not say, he did not uh, pay any sitting for our apology for it, like some campaign or something like this. it just made to talk with me is my boot

on his bread from higgs. oh, okay. it was a nice talking, but uh, it's not giving us money all spending money. it was a political party ebc for example, as a drug to sell us. and his foundation and also the bill gates foundation and things like this on the left is they spend a lot of millions of dollars also in germany and on barrier. and then, as i, country is a, into election campaigns to a different parties about the 5 d. and then mazda did not give up on, you know, and so everything is working correct with the law. they just try to find something and explain something, but it is not the truth dropped to talk. i could talk to everybody i can talk to you. i can talk to adam, ask, i can talk to everybody i want, that is not just giving money to a positive. so it's not saying why did this slip for being talking of not being on
