[000:00:00;00] the headline stories must go with say, your training and drone strike an energy infrastructure in southern russia has been for to hundreds called the salt on its sovereignty of the compressor station in question supplies gas to europe per day, per street pipeline cease fire hall, centrally steel, between how boston is truly spelled, very focused according to an r, to source in the middle east coast. the following recently, wrapped up for his final foreign policy speech president binding defends his actions overseas. donald trump tiers up to over at turned a raft of his predecessors,

orders to the oval office of us and consulting the . this is our to international. my name's use of the legal of 30 minutes of use and use starts not hungry is foreign minister has commented on ukraine's failed attack on energy infrastructure in southern russia. on monday, the target a gas compressor station supplies increase truck stream pipeline. peter c. r to say is that root is an indispensable part of central europe gas supply chain on it. security is part of like the talk 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. but we understand as 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 southern russia, 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, uh, the russian form minister, 2nd lover of held a phone conversation, met with the circus counter part. how come to don to discuss us as a 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, a continuing that deal to ensure that energy flowed into europe, butts. ukraine, of course, oppose 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. how's it going to be now 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 still about prime minister has been quite vocal in his position, suggesting that the ukraine in

a liter of let them is unless you're someone who rooms you're begging and black mailing western nations, in 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 is, 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 say 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 lights are hungry, which of course helps for 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 adamant and vocal in 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. well, head of the british heritage political party, david curtain told r t, the very european states which have provided ukraine with a need know themselves feeling the consequences of kids or rustic actions. it's very bizarre. i mean, you know, zalinski there in, ki, having the people around him seemed to be biting the fates them. i don't understand that because the e, u and e u countries have collectively given a 170000000000 pounds to the regime in key evan. now they're trying to talk to often disrupt the entities, apply to the very countries that are being supporting them over the last 2 or 3 years. now, i don't agree with that. i don't think that the countries west and country should have been given, giving financial military support to, to the landscape. but he's doing that now. i, i don't know what his purpose is. you would think of any, what insensible with one of the countries,

the giving money to actually habits volume and economy. so we can get more say, i mean this, it really is just looking like someone who is facing the end of the war is military is collapsing, everything is collapsing around him and he's just lashing out the 3 major pipelines, but transit gas from russia to european countries through ukraine have being cocked, you know, the supply that was being taught from the 1st of january. and now ukraine seems to be targeting the of the pipelines to go to the south of ukraine as well as the north stream, which was blowed up one of the north stream to pipelines is intact. if that was the political well, this could be turned on very, very quickly. and gas could be coming from russia, from the north end to germany, and then that would provide more for the whole european gas infrastructure because everything is insulated, including even the, the, the gas infrastructure and pipelines in the u. k. they're holding together. i mean,

the u. k, for example, never too much gas from russia, but it's insulation. so we phase less gas coming from not sure the prices of gas coming from norway, for example, increase. so turning on this pipeline, it is something that really needs to happen. and it's the sensible thing to do. why keep a pipeline off when it can be turn don't provide gas, the heat homes and keep businesses running? because the alternative is that people freeze, um businesses go bankrupt because someone used to tell you about know, ukraine has launched a must have ms. sila talk on rushes at west street in 3 on scrooge, and that's according to local officials. let's go through some of the details we have on this. have reportedly use long range. that's a comes missiles on us supplied multi launch. hi maurice systems. the regions governor stage russian or defenses repelled the attack,

destroying or targets. he added no casualties have been reported. a brick true deal between is real, i'm from us is close. that's according to an r t source who told us the final draft of a cease fire and the hostage release agreement is currently being reviewed. following, we sent the wrapped up talks between the 2 sides in the tardy capital ortiz, middle east correspondent, brief, an option that can tell us more. it has to be no, a special announcement. she has put 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 they agreements that could bring hostages home. and of course, paid the way to ending the state and conflict in gaza, which has claimed over 46000 lives according to local health officials, both sides race to finalize this though, before january 20,

as president elect donald trump warned earlier i thought without resolution before he's integration. hell will break out in the middle is we send high level meetings with the participation off is really an american delegation is with the representatives from both current and incoming administration along site guitar. we on addiction mediators, has been essential in brooklyn disagreements. we simply everybody's choice in discussions, took place in doha, on monday with final details were discussed and we heard that have mass was sent a draft proposal earlier approved by israel and telling me there's no way to for the response from the militant group, but some unconfirmed reports already said 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 the leader in guys on the ground, the wrong $98.00 captives county held in guys of we've at least 36 of them. see your dad,

the official numbers could be even higher. so what does this new deal involved? the 1st 40 to die stage will 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 of the philadelphia, cory, the alone, the guys that egypt older during they say, and will not full the withdrawal from this trip until every last advocacy is freed . and the 1st phase of mazda is said to release such a 3 is really 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 the heavy weights such as those with the blah them, the hands will not be released to the west bank. we here but to where to most likely to gaza, where they could easily be targeted by i g. f. a certainly have mazda demands, baby send somewhere else to katara with turkey. and this remains unclear so far how this will be sat so, so we're waiting for official announcement again. on the human ends here in 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 have israel will vent withdrawal completely from the gaz. 3 pad hostilities will cease and 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 a big a big deal and the terms of the agreement also no tor same. israel will establish at boxes between its territory and the gaz, a straight to protect its southern regions. which means id have troops will be deployed along the security fence. inside garza israel will implemented security measures as well from the nets are being core. either that is a line how that cuts the enclosed 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

a was to retain in power while israel will not seize facilities unless have mouse is completely removed from any of his decision making rows. again, this part is not clear yet what, how to say that note, all factions within israel support, they still finance minister and small traits had 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 riley hostages, who criticized. he stands on the deal and dozens of family members, many clutching photos of the missing loved ones packed. it could meet the room during the budget meeting budget session there and the emotional showdown. last that over an hour,

we saw me in tears accusing smoke for each of neglecting the $98.00 hostages, still in cafeteria to in the gaza street. however, some relatives are not in favor of this phase approach to the house. it is released expressing concern the time is running out for their loved ones and they say they want to see the returns all at once as they or they are for the on the same boss. but again, that has the number for show announcement says law, and we still have to wait for a special confirmation from these really authorities. and from us the something else for a close, the following thousands are taking to the streets of the romanian capital to protest. the cancellation of a 2nd run to voting in the countries presidential election. it's after an independent candidate with a pro peace on the nature message, one november's 1st ride down, according to a former european commissioner. the extraordinary and no,

let me also be repeated in the use largest economy. i don't believe, 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 alexa's all st credit, but if the 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 a at the a, if these alice vital is fine for the top tool in next month election. now the expo to at 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 being looking beyond american souls and to be honest, he's been trolling politicians that and they things and things like quotes stupid

questions. and so up and everything. how it's so true to form. he did have a few words from this. yep. that's all the astounding absurdity of terry breton as tyrant of europe, tyrant of europe. wow. but no ilan musk the e u 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, from off a former com to solve strep probably feels quite possible because of course, we know that the vienna has very open and consistently fox, the alternative for germany 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 may say, but we're me friday really poses is to the low blessed ideology on things like well . well, the policy has pledge 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 skip 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 that in this rules based on the rules are constantly change and not even bad . 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 high, we are not johnny, this is the bill biggest economy and the brett holes was really do repaired. of course,

the salon and beyond desire to see that the you really are experiencing about the upcoming assert much in the same way actually as we saw 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 undergone know you're a pin, us citizen. but i think if i was, i was sentenced in both of onto land and i brought homes was really an author content, not just an option of suffering to you, but also the will of the very people that they claim at least to rep, present really concerning and so i ask you, 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 collins which esco secured victory in the 1st round of the elections. he looks set 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 met thing claims. and in fact, an investigation by a local outlet has revealed that it was actually another political grouping in this new nation, the national liberal policy, which hired a 5 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 have to is 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, paths 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 that the more people i brought home go round saying

the things that they all saying the move that trusted in institutions and governments of pulls will be on the mind. because instances like this really cost out over whom exactly will these bureaucrats are rep presenting and all that preaching about democracy. well, if you don't live by the values that you preach, then you'll nothing but a coal mine. and precedent, like you will use the wordpress impressions. it's a very dangerous thing because of the risk of sounding a dramatic. it really is just a step in a halt from counseling, one election to counseling election with berlin parliament member for the alternative for germany party dinner. linda men say's that citizens will not tolerate the potential cancellation of elections and the f. these wide support base will be heard. the system in the cell is a novice because they know they have d one to stop uh, to transfer a minutes off a year or to a wizard, plumber, drummond,

tex pay us. we say it'd be given po and drum and maybe it with the form that you will be in your name and we only want it and you will be included on the union or not the dictatorship of blizzard end of the year. you'll be in the commission of the former commissioner, it is not the only one course that you want to can. so the voting is the same, said the drum and the president time. uh he said about the 2 weeks ago. so it's similar. we assuming that we're upset in germany, my take happens the same, the same as the manual after the elections. but in fact, david really happened in germany as the media. so people, they go into a speed and shows the import test because they have the know is a blazing. we are over 20 percent. the last the announcement was 22 percent and i hadn't gone to the election day and said, well,

maybe it will be $25.00. why even more present? and they have such a big good amount of people vote for as a budget. it will be very difficult to get and cancel the launching the i'm going u. s. president has given his final foreign policy speech and the white house saturated with self praise for his performance. over 40 years, joe biden said he leaves office with america stronger globally, and took a dig, washington's adversary's. and now, america's more capable and i would argue better prepared, and we've been a long, long time, all our competitors and adversaries. refresh the stiff edwards as we have the windows are back because of all of you this what we're heading into over the next administration. that's where a handed american broadcaster and political level is garlan nixon told me that in

his view, ju biden's, tenure was as bob as it gets yours. why personally, i rent joe biden as not just the worst president this united the united states has ever seen. but if you take the 10 worst president and piled them altogether, divide is worse than the entire pile. this is legacy is one of the ruins, economic ruin for the country. information in a way that this country had never seen before. bringing the world to the edge of an extinction level nuclear event. the print conflict is overshadowed a loss of his leadership. his time in charge. he said, put, and had failed to achieve any of his strategic objectives. russia is struggling on the bottom and he went on for quite a while. we can just take a brief listen garland. we help ukranian stop food. now nearly 33 years later, prudence failed to achieve any of the strategic objectives. he has failed as far as

subjugate ukraine. fail to break the break the unity of nato, and fail to make large territorial games. there's more to do, we can't walk away. we rallied 50 nations to stand with ukraine, not just in europe for the 1st, for the 1st time in asia as well as it goes, country agent know what happens. ukraine matters to them as well. it very spirited . he held it together, i'll give it to him on that. but given the facts on the ground, will anyone really take his pains at mosque was losing the war seriously? no. and if you notice the play with words that vladimir putin, so 1st there's no such country, is russia to the neo cons. they only say by them you're putting, but that president put and didn't achieve his objectives. but what they do is they personally assigned the objectives that vladimir proven wanted, and then they say they say by and they put, wanted to take care of the 1st date and he didn't do it therefore, and they go forth with them going forward with some 3rd premise and i would argue

that the countries in asia and around the world have learned from ukraine they, they've learned that the united states, but neo cons, the fascist, as i call that are in a significant position of power in the leadership of this country, have been for some years that they will utilize your country for cannon fodder, and they will walk away and leave you dead, impoverished and, and destroyed. and i think the world and other countries are learning exactly what happens by looking at ukraine when you go along with these lunatics. tony blinking and vitamin singled eyes, the withdrawal from afghanistan as an achievement. we can just take a quick listen again to what was said across report to the american people. for the 1st president in decades, who's not reading a war enough can a stand to success for got been live during obama by ministration. the primary objective of war had been accomplished and i believe are going forward from or the threat of all kind of would no longer be emanating from afghanistan or from

elsewhere. and so we not need to stations sizable number, barack, and forces in afghanistan. i think if i was head of communications in the white house, i would have mentioned to, to him quietly, maybe maybe see this one like when it comes to a found this done? well, 2 things. number one, he said that the primary objective was accomplished, but we never really knew what the primary objective is. i suppose, i suspect it was transferring the extra minutes amount of money from the pockets of the american taxpayers into the coffers of the military industrial complex. if that was the primary objective with no doubt, it was a significant part of it. they were successful, they are. so i think joe biden has been a horrible president and might not yet politically, he has destroyed his own party, completely wiped out his party. they are reeling and they have, they've lost the supreme court, they lost the house, they lost the senate, they lost the white house, joe biden as obliterated his own party. i can't see any segment of his presidency

that has been anything other than an unmitigated disaster. garland nixon, now reminder r t dot com has you coverage for the days. big developments. plenty, there are besides the keep you informed entertained on engage. check it out when you come good by the the welcome across the board. horns were all things are considered on peter lavelle who would have thought greenwood would be close to the top of the trump foreign policy agenda. summer, calling it the new imperialism with
