then it'll go to the squared. that's just one example. i think i'm both on 5 minutes reads more in finance, and i think it is time investment to me to put an end to these 18 year known understanding is really conflict to diplomatic and means you may chance situations you need is extremely difficult journey in the city the reference g kept there where we serve for almost 20000 people have been exposed to numerous is really security for the operations. most recent ones have kind of sit in operations that have less to, to high human atten, costs lot of suffering when the people give an example because of the violence engineer. and we have not been able to operate our schools engine income with 2000 kids since the beginning of december and already in the proceeding school year because of the recurring military activities and kind of a violence. we lost almost 50 percent of a school day. so that has

a direct impact on the future of 75 years. it will be. ringback on things there are ways to sion found to be applied from funding facing moving towards the moment, there's a more ongoing business sees far the focus is on the delivery of the basics. um, the longer the, the situation we're in right now continues the far, far we are from bringing the sides together from the sort of thing, the political issues. so this is absolutely critically wind this 65 right now we can also have got to do it because it. ringback would be. ringback a milestone to with something much, much more known stuff or no, we have a supplier,

it's a window, it's whole, it's a lot not being can be in the house. so that's a very good program. and let's see what happens over the coming weeks when i'm not in the business of predicting brant. i'm in the business of hope. so i do hope that it holds. and meanwhile, i hope that we can deliver as much assistance to people who need us most as much as possible and that's under and continues to be allowed to work. you raise a very important point when i was always meant to be temporary and we provide our services because there is no political solution to the conflict, or indeed, no visible pathways, as we speak to each or political settlement. that within allow, whenever author transfer services to have kind of suicide or another kind of sending entity. and we need to have that political pathway for, we don't want to be able to then face and agreement, handled by services. but until that political pathway is not there,

we're bound by the mandate of the general assembly. we do this work here as an expression of the willingness and the view of the international community that we have to do that we're faced on a monday. but in general, some and that's what we're committed to deliver. following the volume by these really paula means to outflow is operations on there was may soon seize it's 75 years of service in the west bank and gaza. if the band is an acted, hundreds of thousands will fail, the immediate impact and the future like that. so the agency itself remains on certain raven ocean all to your reporting from ballasa palestinian refugee camp in the west bank. and a russian sanctions have wreaks havoc across europe with hungary alone, taking a 19000000000 arrowheads on gary and by minister victor or bon has warranted it. you colleagues, it's time to reconsider these and effective policies,

an adult them with how to me. if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years, we will see that hungry has lost money. 19000000000 euros due to the sanctions to which translates to 7500000000000. hum, gary and far and the place is an enormous amount, much more than one old on gary and people pay an income tax to the hung gary and treasury in a year for that. and now of course, the issue of extending the sanctions is on the agenda. and i us the european leaders to understand that this cannot continue to clinical so it is not acceptable for hungry to pass. such costs will surely others are losing as well. that's the problem you don't mind for, you know, behind gary in states was not the hon, gary and governments, because there's at least as much as the soaring energy prices have taken center stage with the u. n. u k. spending 750000000000 euros to subsidize prices over the last 4 years. germany with one of the use biggest economies has seen energy and raw material prices, sky, rocket, 80 percent in 2024. if the trend continues,

the bonus tag predicts the country will lose over a quarter truly in euro's by the end of the decades. well, despite the looming economic hardship, majority of european leaders continue to support bands on russian imports, but their words appear to contradict their actions. according to media reports, statistics show a growth in russian allergy in ports with the you buying more of moscow's gas in the 1st 15 days of this year than last. well, at the same time, major european economies. 4 not looking great. here's our to contributor rachel marsden with details on the situation in france. well, i mean, i could ramble off a whole lot of success x, for example. people here are paying 20 percent more for food than they were before the ukraine complex or they're paying 40 percent more for electricity. i could just go on and on with stuff like that. never really ends and there is no end insights. but let's just face reality of what's really happening here. it's kind of like

saying that if we're going to talk about statistics, is it really worth it? if you're, you've just been hit by a truck in your line, in the ditch with it. right on top of you. are you gonna ask yourself, you know, how much does this thing weigh? or you just gonna say, wow, i'm in deep trouble. and i, i really need help. you think that's what the would be doing but know instead what they're doing is they're looking around with a truck on them and they're saying it is my girlfriend's lives. can you see this is um, is he really impressed with this? and meanwhile he's just saying, um, do you have a wallet somewhere in that mess with a review of that's 3 out of the, of the situation here in france. lake to oregon said all of europe is suffering from the sanctions onrush. so what kind of reaction do you expect to that warning from oregon? i think it actually suits them just fine that victoria bomb is very frustrated with the situation and hungry. gives them a lot more power. the fact that there's no gas or their risk being no gas coming

into hungry if something happens to that church stream pipeline, which is really the last slide left for a hungry at this point. um means that he's going to be even more dependent on their program, which is they control the money they control what get sold out from the big slash by the all of the tax payers and other countries donate to. and also they can say, well, now's the time for you to make that green transition. and again, that's something that really allows them to turn the screws on the european citizens and the governments as well. richard victor, oregon is also urging his e u colleagues to pressure ukraine to reopen the gas and trends that route. so i want to play a clip of the oregon had to say 1st and i'll ask for your comments afterwards. and now the ukrainians, they messed with the hung gary ends even on the energy side because they weren't like gas come from russia to hungry. it wouldn't be good for us to pay on $1.00 hand over to help ukraine facing fee to know, make consequences from sanctions while they are messing with us. this is not going

to work. i told my european colleagues to be strong, should you let them understand this and see we ask that they tell the ukrainians that they will restore the gas root and please open it again. this is nothing ukraine matter if it's a question for you or i think central europe under the ukrainians, one held for example, to sanction the russians. then here we go again, i opened the gas pipeline and please allow the central european countries including hungry, new we to import the gas, we need 3 cranes. and all kinds of semi legal and legal military equipment should not be used to attack the router which is currently carrying gas. because in the meantime, attacks or targeting the russian volta pointing good from which gas arrives in hungry from the south, which stopped this will frushell. this original explain this. why haven't western allies been able to convince ukraine to take action to help out as partners. you have to wonder that is a really interesting question. and the question that automatically pops in my mind is, who is ukraine actually taking orders from? is it coming out with it this all into itself?

because if that was the case, you think it would be pretty easy for the european union to say, hey, look, you know, we'd love to help you and your situation and we support you and all this. but we have to put her oxygen mask on 1st or we're going to crash and you with us. so again, you have to wonder who is pulling the strings here and always when you have to ask who, who benefits? i think it's a pretty obvious candidate that pops up, given that the european union has become extremely over dependent on the united states for energy, particularly at this point. so why you frame isn't listening or being reactive or responsive to the use, please to not crash this whole adventure this joint venture. again, you have to wonder who's, who's whispering in his ear behind the scenes at this point. and european

politicians can't help but take a fresh look at those sanctions in question why they're backfiring on the, you know, something funny. i don't think the sanctions policy should be such that the one who has sanctioned suffers more than the one who imposes the sanction. so unfortunately, in the case of the sanctions policy imposed by the european union, it is partly the opposite. the reset and relations with russia will happen regardless of what anyone thinks in poland. we live in a world of propaganda, where it is believed that the western world has definitively severed ties with russia. so this is plainly a false hood in the western world. all business and politics are waiting to return to business as usual, with russia. if you come let's cross the live now to academic and me shelf, i odd with the i f p and research institute and former trade ministry advisor. uh, michelle. why do you think your of continues to impose sanctions on russia and band its products when the policy is clearly not having the intended effect? as you know today, europe is literacy vices. the isaac's was explained by yours,

i guess a, you know, you have a, a ongoing, but you have also remind me of you over some, uh, some companies to backyards with. we show no more and more requesting for change of policy. it was a reason to crate and stop working session against our show because they needed to go. so russia, however, you're so keep in mind that the last month that on that song said that the actually he wants to purchase more us for the gas to address as a trade in buttons of or face to face. he stated that the ear doesn't make up, it's tremendous is inclusive within us. it is the 3rd exposure way. and you know, if you look at what happens, things as things start against russia, you'll see that the europe started to buy more, and we're looking for a natural gas from the us. and then as the raise doesn't want to start to cease

because, you know, the song wants to go in commission war against those china, which is a big market for energy. and then the euro for you see, is another big market to for it. and yeah, and strong wants to, to access the market for because in us it's clear that they've sanctions aren't working and european countries themselves are struggling economically. so what can they do to show up their economies before it's too late to the 4th. i mean the today your of us to be very strong and say to, to is the us. we cannot continue to exist because the sanctions against our shop and the, the, but against the important get russian gas create a big damage to say economies of the year being and especially against for germany, for, for us, which are the 2 main forces 0. but in the same time york, i'll just buy an energy from the us because their energy from the risk of $3.00 to

$4.00 times and what's the russian gas coast for europe. so, you know, you cannot be like these europe yourself things a lot today, for example, to differentiate going on me. and he is facing a huge step as affecting friends, represent one of the 21st and physicians. so this is assumed a warning. and the, you know, the french government made for you the couple of days, you know, things up on the 13th of january. that would be based on the, on the budget. and these put the need to see if there's a form of the fresh go on sense. i mean, everything is opens a is a lot of the economy travers coming on for the boss, france, and germany, and then for europe in the hunt, gary and prime minister of victor, our bond is warning the you to reconsider its failing policies. do you think that his counterparts in europe will listen?

this is the font is a do you know, in order to risk sasha sanctions against russia? it means that you may need me t among photos of 27 member states, also your opinion. and if already put the rental, then the sections against russia may not cost, then that would be some provenance means easier to be in. and also is a us because we have the same thoughts on wants to, to put pressure on our shop in order to push ya russia to, to come to the negotiation table. and i agree on once he has that in his mind. but we don't know exactly what happened. i think it was the park is not want to to bring up the expectations in order to, you know, to negotiate those as soon as possible. all right, well leave it there. michelle filed with the i s p and research institute and former trade administrative advisor. thank you. thank you. the,

as russian forces advanced in hard cover region, they haven't covered what seems to be a ukrainian torture room. and one of the settlements, a warning, the following images are disturbing. the russian army unit sent us the shocking video, showing ukrainian soldiers burnt to death. russian troops say the victims bodies appeared to show traces of torture, and likely they died in terrible getting the men were left without food or water and couldn't escape because they were shackled in chains. no official comment on the investigation has been issued by troops who saw the scene say the soldiers may have refused to obey in order to attack. and don bass. russian forces have secured a number of settlements and their advance on the important supply route of power crossed. according to moscow, defensive ministry, ukraine has lost $12500.00 soldiers during its defense of the strategic area. i mean, while russian defense ministry video shows the destruction of

a ukrainian abrams tank supplied by the us, another tank was disabled by one of moscow's high precision mindset. drones, the right occurs region settlement. well, the problem says water zaleski is responsible for dragging new crane into a war. the new us president could have prevented with a simple deal get to get this war ended. and if they don't make a settlement like fast angel lisky, i will say that he wants to settle. now he's had enough. he shouldn't have allowed this to happen either. you know, if he's no angel, but he shouldn't have allowed this war to happen, zelinski was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful. he shouldn't have done that because we could have made a deal and it wouldn't be the deal that would have been it would have been and nothing deal. i could have made that deal so easily. angel lisky decided that i water off. i donald trump, he's not just the politician, he's also a show man, and showmanship is

a huge part of his political personality. this is something that got him v seats in the white house once again. and he's, he's known to be using big words to making bold promises like the one to finish the war and ukraine within the 1st 24 hours of his presidency. it doesn't mean though that both from on his team don't realize all the complications. let's put it this way that come in tell with such a promise. this is actually something that independent journalist see my hash writes about. so i was told by a person with access to current thinking in the trump camp, that the president elected come to understand that he had spoken to soon about the possibility of an agreement over ukraine with putting during his campaign, trump repeatedly vowed to end the ukraine more even before taking office, it's easy to mock those statements now. but in my reporting, i have been told by someone with 1st hand information that intends talks between ukraine and russia are ongoing and have moved close to a settlement. well,

the reasons for such a delay, quite obvious, zalinski wants to keep his face up, ruled through his entire presidency. and through this entire conflict he's be making bold promises himself like re taking crime. me like going back to the board as of 1991. and he is trying to get to ukraine into the best possible negotiating position. he still has the supports over nato, like, uh, the natal chief, as once again pulled on nathan states to keep providing ukraine with both weapons and manpower. so far as we know, the phone line is moving in the wrong direction is going east towards and this is for 3 reasons. one, because of the ukraine. we come not to allow any 21st century that one country in states and other country and trash, the colonizer we, we are beyond those days. well, the funds going east was, would be a wrong direction. that, at least from russia's point of view, because that would mean that russia would be losing ground. but this is something

that the nature chief is terribly wrong about because the front is indeed moving, but in the opposite direction it is going west. ukraine has been losing ground, it is quite clear as to what key needs right now to keep the front from collapsing . at least they need 2 things. and this is something that both ukraine and nato c, i to why they need either more weapons, more manpower, and they need a rather they need both. but again, ukraine right now, it has pretty much depleted the sources as to where they can get these reinforcements from. and this is what the landscape has been talking about. if they have $1000000.00, i mean, and if we will have less 2 times, it means that we need to continue jose with a very, a strong number of soldiers, 200000 it's a minimum. no army in history has no used people less than 25. that that is always

being the back button. a volume is young man. the sensible. would you in exchange for more weapons? would you, would you mobilize that young bits of ukraine? is there? are people 25 years plus and they do not have weapons. why would we want to mobilize younger people so that we have more people without arms? now ukraine has an option to replenish its uh, reinforcements for that they would have to recruit in one way or another. people who are younger than the age of 25. because right now, only those of 25 years of age or older can be forcefully mobilized. and one ukrainian commander has already revealed that they are working on a quote unquote a system to recruit. and to be basically incentivize these youngsters to join the army without the use of the word mobilization. we are, we are trying to make an honest contract aimed at attracting mainly 18 to 25 year

olds who are currently exempt from mobilization. it will also be targeted at ukrainians who have the right to the permit or were discharged after the mobilization law passed. now they are in desperate need to do, do again replenish the reinforcements to get more people to mount the trenches to still the retreats that ukraine has been seeing all across the front line and some journalist so which all close to the routing leads. they have been saying that the, the life, the value of life in ukraine as low as it already may be, has to be even lower your much i sure are showing us to see what's going on. i believe that if we increase the value of human life, it will create a problem for us in further survival in the war. the only way for ukraine to survive, the next years of war is to lower the view of life. and given all the videos of again forceful mobilization, given how much your brain has, how much man ukraine has lost already. and how given the, how low them

a row of the people who have decided to stay the new crane, who still have not had the chance to leave, to flee the country that has been unloved down for many, many, many months now. so it is right now there is no wait, and there is no feasible way that ukraine might expect more people, especially younger. it's younger generation, to join the ranks of the army and to just voluntarily go into the slow attempt. turning out to sedan, we are armed forces, blamed the paramilitary rapids depart forces of deliberately setting fire to the nation's largest oil refinery. just north of the capital cartoon in continuation of its criminal and hateful behavior towards the country and its people. and often forced these types in the news on old come back from the terrorist melisha deliberately set fire to the costume refinery in al jelly in

a desperate attempt to destroy the infrastructures of this country. of the despairing of achieving its illusions of seizing its results as in land. the rapids support forces have blamed the soothing these armies saying it targeted the facility with beryl bombs. images circulating on social media show a massive black cloud hovering over the neighboring towns. presidents through the health implications of the fire was medical socrates urging the public to wear masks. sedans, largest oil refinery has been under our a self control since war broke out in 2023. the sudanese government is a partial owner of the facility with the china national petroleum corporation controlling the other half shanghai center vice chairman nelson. long says chinese companies should pay more attention to the political risk when it comes to overseas investments. in the single case, i don't think this is going to have a significant impact on china's oil supply because he is

china does in board and buy oils from, from different countries. but and so down is one of the soldiers. but this is not the only source that china is relying all at this point i'm trying to make is that, that it's not that this particular all you'll see all your refund. that rate is going to be uh, anything that happens to this. all your re father is going to seriously damage. john is supply souls. it's, it's, it's more of, you know, the situation. how you can control security issues like this, full this government and also for chinese companies. actually, i think it's a, it's a matter of how to pay more attention to political risks when it comes to investments overseas. so this is not the only lesson of there are many

lessons, and i think the chinese companies we're have to pay more attention to that now, so central africa, where a rebel group m $23.00, and the d. r, congo is mounting and attack on the largest eastern city of goma, the military group, alliance, flu, condo, and m. 23 have issued the 2nd warning to peacekeeping missions, to keep them from intervening in the conflict. and we firmly reiterate that any involvement to collaboration, direct, or indirect support in the ongoing conflict by these 2 forces of you in and s a. d . c, will compel our organizations to exercise its full right to legitimate self defense . new skill has yet again chosen to collaborate militarily on the battlefield with the genocidal groups this on natural alliance, not only violates international conventions, but also involves attacks on densely populated areas and a f. c. m. 23 positions endangering countless civilians. the alliance love congo

fully acknowledges the intolerable suffering endured by the people of goma. we have heard their call for liberation and peace. the situation in and around depalma has reached a critical stage the enter the city. but if she advances have continued despite the demands of the security council, the secretary general, the applicant union, and as is including countries in the region for the in between the city to immediately stop the attacks. already the ripple group has seized the tones of me no voc tightly and must see see we saw the waste off from gomez and gomez. previous population was around more than a 1000000, but towards the up, but hundreds of thousands of people have arrived during the past 2 years of conflict, including moving 200000 that have come in recent weeks. as the in between the city expands is control over an unprecedented amount to offset to retreat displaced

people local and international should meet him and workers and residents school describing a city of come back clean. and the huge strain with overwhelmed displacement caps, food prices rising, soppy, and the fia, often in 23, complete to take over, lead me lots so much that the increase of presence involve my home to mean is having a major impact on displaced people, especially women and children have a listen to this, the bombs started at 3 am and move them be 0. and 2nd, when our soldiers started to flee, we were also forced to run from sack a. we saw people being killed by the bombs, but we were able to escape the show when the m 2300 sack. after attacking with bombs, i was forced to flee with my children. when i got to the market, a bomb fell next to us instantly killing people that give you the people safety has to be guaranteed. because if it's not,

i can't keep the school children. we have thousands of students and if we keep them here, it's not safe. prudence obliges us to keep children home and to see how the situation develops. the hundreds of thousands of people who arrived in coma from march 2022 on was off at a total did in the report, the bye series of displacements, and to have no, absolutely no prospects at all. on the case of the troops, i'm a new school troops, a likely to remain active. you present info, mind probably will continue if it's with in the capabilities to protect civilians or from eminent states that has always been the case or rather the stones of the not to this is also heard just less than 24 hours ago. you in secret to general antonio, who tennessee was alarmed by the resumption office, guillotine, and condemned in the strongest terms the renewed offences launched by the m 23

since the beginning of this year. he also sees this offensive has a devastating tool on the civilian population and it high to the risk of able to reach which is also demanding the 5 minutes to immediately seize and advancing, comma, the largest city in eastern combo and the base many international agencies. and the united nation, the m trinity city, has a very, a strong hand over the whole, have a strong hand extension negotiations of add you on to that particular strategy. the area they all $5.00 to $4.00 or a so display for has foss cruz's offer valuable, valuable resources, and controlling the mines. this is extremely lucrative for the available group. also heard that these folks, but it's an off the elias of flu. i'm calling go, was announced, did a rather you come monday and chief of the one the ration forces was announced,

killed in that region. and knowing that report of only suggested that into the city is supported by the one that probably things will get was from jeff. all right, be sure to visit our website r t dot com for the very latest breaking news and updates bye for now. the the.
