the press, any services that have passed down generation to generation the i cannot but agree with trump that asap and elected president. if he is victory and not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine's. the rose back in 2022. the mirror puts in reiterates that moscow has never refused contact with washington, saying it was the by the ministration that kept the door firmly closed. that's us, the russian leader said he hopes for pragmatic relations with the oval offices, new, encumber, the russian army. swift advance on are you printing and stronghold in southern done by split steve's forces into with a loss or leaving many of its soldiers behind bundles to coming up for those families. 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,

which translates to 7500000000000 gary and for ins on gary and pm liaison. it's what the use anti rushes functions is costing budapest. i think that every member state is losing process figures show despite functions, russian gals exports to europe. i've only grown since the starting the from must go to the world. this is margie international. my names you know me around 30 minutes of news and use starts not a lot of air pollutant said if the 2020 us election has been quote stolen from donald trump. the conflict a new crane may never have started a student because the pressure has never refused to have contacts with the us administration. and it is not our fault of the previous administration refuse these

contacts with the current you as president. i've always had business like, exclusively business like, but at the same time, pragmatic relations. and for us being, i would say, i cannot but agree with from that if he's been elected president, if his victory had not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that arose back in 2022 a lot of our opponent began by reiterating something he said, time and time again since the beginning of russia's military operation in ukraine and dunbar fed. russia is ready to sit down half a negotiating table and come to some sort of peace agreement. but the russian president also said that ukraine stands on talks is presenting a major problem because key of has actually banned any sort of negotiations with law scale. and until it's western sponsors for us, the wednesday, the width that fans is going to be impossible to come to any sort of legitimate agreement use to chic low at usually with the current head of the regime in see if, when he was still a fairly legitimate head of state issued

a decree binding negotiations and how can negotiations be resumed. now, if that band is negotiations begin within the current regulatory framework, they will be strictly speaking, illegitimate. and this means that the results of these negotiations can also be declared a legitimate occurring regime in key of excuse. the simplicity of expression is happily going up hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is in no hurry to follow the instructions of its funds as. and we know that such instructions exist to cancel the decree binding negotiations. but i think that in the end, as you pay the money to still force, keep to do this until this decree is canceled, is quite difficult to talk about the fact that they can be started and most importantly, finished properly by putting also said that trump's predecessor joe biden made a lot of bad decisions that ended up hurting the us economy primarily by trying to prevent russia from using the us dollar and undermining it. as a result, on the other hand, food, he said that he had a great relationship with trump during his 1st term in the white house. he called

reading the relationship between the 2 presidents and not a business like relationship and a pragmatic one. so, you know, and also said he does not believe that trump is going to actually launch new sanctions against russia, which are inevitably going to backfire on the us economy once again, some yours. even if we hear about the possibility of introducing additional sanctions against russia. i doubt that the current president of the united states will make decisions that will help the american economy itself is not only a small puss and he's at pragmatic pass, and therefore most likely it's really best for us to meet based on the realities of to dates for com, the own, all those areas that are of interest to by the united states and russia, we already, that's good. that's also important. understand that donald trump says he's going to reach out to old pack to lower the global price of oil. and for his part, vladimir putin said that he has a common interest with trump in keeping the price of oil not too high and not too low because after all, right, russia and the united states are both,

some of the world's biggest producers of energy and also some of the world's biggest consumers of energy. so again, the russian president said he's ready to make a mutually beneficial agreement with the united states, but moscow's just waiting for the signals from the us. so the balls really in the west port right now. so ok, let's get into developments in the ukraine conflicts and as russian forces advance in the heart gulf region, a ukrainian torture room has allegedly being uncovered. a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. this fun page was taken by a russian army units and a said to show you printing and soldiers burden to death. the russian troops saved the victims, bodies appeared to show traces of torture. and not the men cutting the escape because they were shackled in change. no official comment on the investigation has been issued, but those who sold the scene in the soldiers may have refused to be attacked orders . meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has released this video showing the destruction of

a brennan's time supplied by the us. one of the vehicles was hit directly by a high precision lunch at drone, in the curse region. the russian demo deal also saves an offensive on a key settlement in the done yes, republic has split ukrainian troops into 2 groups with more on the significance of bob and how it was brought about. here's ortiz, you push it down. this actually we have had to have seen reports which we have managed to corroborate, via our own sources on the ground with the fight is that the russian, the russian troops have managed to effectively split the ukrainian garrison in the town of villa rica. and if i shall come in to hobbs, which means that those ukrainian proves that was stationed in the southern parts of that supplement. they have been completely cut off and encircled on the basically the only route that they could potentially use involves a crossing a river. and right now the temperatures, they have been steadily above freezing,

so the con, freely use it by crossing all nice because there's no ice right now on rivers here in the don't boss. and so a congress swim across it. so the only way to get out of the situation alive is it to surrender. and this is something that the russian troops have been cooling on. the ukrainian soldiers have to do that. in fact, they even gave them special like breaks throughout the day during which they could use and utilize the opportunity to surrender right now. it's unclear as to how many ukrainian troops, how many ukrainian soldiers, uh, well made. i have to say the right decision and save their lives, but according to ukrainian speakers and ukrainian ex minutes, the members of the law says that the ukrainian army is sustaining. and if any kind of a soul could actually kolosso design to show them that we know that it's impossible to evacuate those who wouldn't do that. this is what the fight. just say those who

can get out themselves, i guess out for the rest controls on the one hand or not enough pontoons. and on the other hand, everything is under 5. the situation is developed and now is critical. the situation with personnel is also critical. the finances of the 110 to say that with the values assigned to them, they cannot carry out. that board is and they were not enough people. there's to be not enough people who can hold a weapon for those to say that they can be transferred from other units already. this was done even earlier to law. so most is and the 2nd and 3rd rifle battalions . even the brigade no longer has information about those missing an action. when offices and soldiers tell me this, i understand that this has already become a system. yes, there were no people that because this everyone from recognizance decodes from chemical and biological protection troops to drive us to thrown it into the infantry because someone needs to plug the holes. this is the use of internal reserves, but these are not reserves from internal needs. everything goes to the infantry

recently they brought in, people told unsuitable not everyone can be in the infantry like rifleman needed now by the battalions and the brigades. one of the ukrainian town i was one of the ukrainian offices has suggested that and has revealed that they are looking for a ways to recruit new people, starting from the age of 18. because right now, they can only full school, most forcibly mobilize those who have reached the age of 25 years old. here's what he had to say. we're 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 deferment or were discharged after the mobilization law passed. now he has specifically abstained from using the word mobilization in his speech, but again, it is unclear what of the ways ukraine has to incentivize youngsters to join the

ranks. because those who were motivated they did so a long time ago. and many of them i have to say, have already perished now, but there's a solution that has been floated by one of the ukrainian john. this who is said to be close to ukraine's ruling leads, who has hopefully and downright suggested that the value of human life in ukraine should be even lower. or yep, i sure if showing us the tedious notes cause, i believe that if we increase the value of human life, it will create a problem for us in further survival in the war. he can see it the only way for ukraine to survive. the next years of war is to lower the value of life right now with the from, for donald trump in office, of course, a zalinski and his red new. they are trying to, well to literally fights for, they are literally fighting for the best negotiating position the, that they can guess they are fighting for leverage, sofa. they are failing. but despite the arguing that loving their zalinski should

have prevented the war with russia since re taking office, donald trump has so far publicly refused to pressure cuba into settling the prices instead directing his threats at moscow, the u. s. president has doubled down on his volume of economic repercussions at russia refuses to agree to peace with ukraine. he also said he wants saudi arabia and other opec nations to lower the price of. and i'm also going to ask saudi arabia and opec to bring down the cost of oil. so you've got to bring it down, which frankly, i'm surprised. they didn't do before the election that didn't show a lot of love by them, not doing it. that was a little surprised by that. if the price came down, the rest of the ukraine war would end immediately. right now the price is high enough that that will continue. you gotta bring down the oil price, you're gonna end that war. the confidence in this conflict is not dependent on oil prices. it arises from the threat to the russian federation is national security from the threats to our national was living in new russian territories. and from

the unwillingness and complete refusal of americans and europeans to listen to russia's concerns well, saudi political analysts kind of led about tar fee saves. there's no way opec countries will totally us line if it goes against their interest. i don't think i'll be quin uh follow deceit. uh because uh i've been confused before to follow any lead uh that doesn't lead to its own interest. and our interest on the market by the way. uh is in uh, in, in the, the kind of to strategic because the prices are not too high on the tool. and by the way, if the price is up to, it's not good for america. so for the american, uh, only companies because the cost for them is much higher than most of the, of the kind of big plus countries that goes for uh to use. uh, i bought

a reply and saw daddy he'd be out of russia. uh is uh, within uh, $10.00 or less in america, it is a $160.00 and there's a cost when he gets higher because most of this company need to do stuff the direction and they need to borrow money. i need to spend a lot of, uh, uh, capital to do that. and that means they need the price is to be about $80.00 at the to, to make any sense for them. and so i don't understand how he is going to do that. and whether he would force the american companies also to reduce their prices or just extend these muscles on, on putty notes. and the russian sanctions have rick how back across europe. with hungry alone and taking a 19000000000 euro had coming from the countries. prime minister, who weren't is

a you colleagues, that it's time to reconsider. so it's policies against multiple a damn with how to mean. if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years, what we will see that hungry has lost money out of 19000000000 euros due to the sanctions to which translates to 7500000000000 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 hon, 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 collect will. so it is not acceptable for hungary to pass. such costs shall surely. others are losing as well. that's the problem you don't mind for. i don't know but hung gary and states was not the hon gary and government's bez, victor, or bon, well storing energy prices have taking center stage with an e u and u. k. spending some 750000000000 euro. the subsidized price is over the past 4

years, germany, the use biggest economy, so energy and rule material prices skyrocket by 80 percent last year. and if the trend continues, the bundle stock predicts the country will lose over a quarter of a trillion with a t euro by the end of the decade. well, despite the looming economic hardship, majority of european leaders continue to support bonds and russian imports. but their words appear to contradict their actions. according to media reports, there's actually been a growth in russian. ellen g imports with the buying more of mosque, who has gas in the 1st 15 days of this year than they did in the same period. in 2024, it's all led to european politicians, taking a fresh look at the sections. 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 fall, so it in the western world, all business and politics are waiting to return to business as usual, with russia. if you can see whether indeed many european economies are feeling blow back and their desire to hurt russian are to come to meet our rachel marston, broke down one case in point earlier with my colleague rachel riddle as well. i mean, i could ramble off a whole lot of specifics. 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 can 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. or you can ask yourself, you know, how much does this thing way? or you just going to 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, who's just saying, um, do you have a wallet somewhere in that mess did a review of, that's 3 out of the, of the situation here in france and make to our mindset. all of europe is suffering from the sanctions on russia. what kind of reaction do you expect of that warning from oregon? i think it actually suits them just fine that victoria bob 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. 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 quite a bit. 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. rachel, 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 mess with the hung, gary ends even on the energy side, because they weren't like gas come from russia to hungary. it wouldn't be good for us to pay on one hand over to help ukraine facing economic consequences from sanctions while they are messing with us. this is not going to work and i told my european colleagues to be strong,

so 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 and if the ukrainians want held, for example, to sanction the russians, then here we go again, opened the gas pipeline. i'm 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 route which is currently carrying gas. because in the meantime, attacks of targeting, the russian volta pointing from which gas arrives and hungry from the south would stop this bet. we'll frushell this. all right, to 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, in my mind is, who is you trained 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 i 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 is 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. now i'm at the wreckage across more toward jobs that people are beginning to see or the mass of

debris in the hope they own going ceasefire will allow them to finally rebuild their lives. palestinians across the entry of attended the 1st friday prayers since the start of the truth as well. gathering inside damage mos, surrounded by rubble and the new throughout refugee camp children were seen roaming around slots and buildings and collapsed minarets. in the southern city of con eunice worshippers place their knots. i'd sides, holding at prayers among the ruins of what used to be their homes that's on the left of your spring. i'll us send you a story. so you say more than 800 mosques were destroyed in is really a talk to him guys, or last year alone. something else to show you guys and police who are kept off the streets of the strip for 15 months by the idea for not returning with security forces also patrolling roads and guarding a convoys. they say they're committed to ensuring people safety and preventing looting. the mining teams,

i've also started their work so that the space palestinians can return to what's left of their homes. since the agreement to end the war of genocide against our people assigned, we have instructed police officers in various parts of garza to take to the streets and provide comprehensive services to old people because they deserve a decent life. we have also designated them to be in public and private places for the protection of people's property. that while the spread of security forces is evident in various key areas in streets, to ensure the return of displaced persons survival and building a future. this is part of our responsibility to the citizens who sacrificed themselves and supported resistance, paying a high price for this bloody war. so we must provide them comfort and protection. i control the situation in the field and maintain order to prevent any outbreaks of violence as i was speaking to are to the head of the palestinian ministry

overseeing prisoners. the 1st claimed israel was doing all that code to delay the progress of the current, fraudulent 64, the ivy. the israel has clearly tried to create conditions for the negotiations to fail or the rail. it has actively sought to blame the palestinians for this failure . and to justify its crimes of genocide, israel has resorted to blackmail in the case of prisoners, although this was only the 1st stage of the exchange. other prisoners will eventually be discussed in the coming negotiations. however, it has tried to slow down the resolution of some issues. israel has the means and resources and will try to repeat the atrocities again and again to reject the symbols of the palestinian national struggles. if it were not for the serious pressure on israel from the international community and regional states, the cease fire in gaza would not have been agreed upon. israel, as you know, has been inventing excuses since may 2024, to delay the tox. well,

with the gallons a ceasefire not being enforced, the adf is able to focus attention on another palestinian territory. the westbank, the idea of offensive targeting jeanine refugee camp in this trip north is not into a 4th day with scenes of houses and other buildings being demolished. there's also reports of rage and arrests and several other areas across the west bank, local se israel wants to turn the territory into a 2nd gallon, or none of the automobile. we have been under siege for 4 days. we cannot move, we have children, and we are unable to provide them with food. the situation is very difficult. palestinians want peace and if is really is truly wanted peace, we would have achieved it by now. how long it has been 70 years of bloodshed between us and them. we simply want to live in our homeland with dignity and freedom out and nothing more. nothing less. the little slip of all night long there was showing and bonding. our homes are full of scared children. we were terrified

beyond belief. they are doing to us exactly the same thing they did in gaza with displacement, exile and threats to blow up the camp. the appointment advanced, well thrive, israel's so called anti terrorist operation. the idea of all those years, how being filmed destroying westbank infrastructure impeding medical workers movements. israel is also set to bomb the you and relief and works agency which many palestinian refugees depend on. the bond follows accusations that some of the agencies members are affiliated with a mass on the palestinian islamic jihad grouping, or middle east correspondence, reinforced and met with unread shapes. and often other work has been effect. and we're now at the law, so it's not listing in refugee camps in the, in nablus, in the northern parts. although to fight westbank, it's relatively small, less than one square kilometer, but it's home to more than 2000 people. it's the biggest cab, and these people have been living relying on it was held for decades for

generations. and this is where we meet state agencies, director for westbank affairs and the director of communications. hi, is this maria. nice to meet you were in a no or how is that the tech fine girl? yeah, that's tough dirt. it took a little bit longer than expected at the tech for the reason. very busy one hour, 3 hours and you own you and car. this does it make it easier for you to go through check points? normally these days there's no special arrangements for that. in a matter of days, the agency who'd be forced to end this operation only in the west bank where we are now button gases. what will happen when the deadline comes? do you have any clear message from these readings?

first of all, i wish i knew what wouldn't happen because i don't know and no one knows what really happened on the morning of the 30th on file of january. our commitment is to stay in the mayfair and whether here in the, occupying the west bank or in golf out, we stay and deliver, continue with the visas of all the international staff working for a while my whole team more than 20 international staff members and the families, the visas only valid until next wednesday. so if there is indeed fully implementation, that would mean that very likely our international team would not be able to oversee and manage your operations here. just a the last thing it might turn into another time was bank has been doing for quite a while. it's been a more on the radar even before the 7th of october attacks underwear and golf

started. so there was always this fear fence is going to continue to get worse and worse. what comes of us most to ask and wrong is the impacts. that's all of this house on civilians. in front of all of this house on women and children, the impact of the time house on, on, on services. so something i would schools as, as one example in the more that waves instability, violence operations. the more the children cannot go to school. we have 50000 children who go to another school. that's just one example. you made an situation, janine is extremely difficult. journey in the city, the reference to camp they're where we serve for almost 20000 people. have been exposed to numerous is really the security force operations most recently to kind of sit in operations that have last to too high you minute, 10 costs, lot of suffering when the people, when i was always meant to be temporary that for and we provide our services

because there is no political solution to the conflict, or indeed no visible pathway, as we speak to each are political settlements. that within allow went about to transfer services to a kind of city state or another kind of send an entity. and we need to have that political pathway for we don't want to be able to then based on an agreement handle that services. following the vote, which 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 till the agency itself remains on sir raven ocean all to you are reporting from ballasa, a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank. well next, a change of pace. and as we traveled to a region where majestic peaks guard centuries of heritage, it's also home to your appliance village and joined peter scott. 6 to uncover the

vibrant culture of the russian republic of coverage. you know, both, how are you trying to head in the latest in london, the one we cover, the both korea address taking notes in this region where the unique traditions of the people here is the.
