models of homeless rose by 12 percent in california. the candles, but agree with trump that if he had been elected president, if his victory not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that arose back in 2022 . the mirror puts in reiterates that most goes and never refuse communication with washington, saying it was that by not ministration that kept the door firmly closed and stuff as the russian leader stacy hopes for prognostic relations with the oval offices you and come to the russian army swift advance on are you printing and strongly lived in southern zone foss. split skips forces into the las are leaving many of its filters. far as it is gather in slovakia to protest against the guns priest government orchestrated the prime minister seized by the same foreign powers

behind the might on the new frame robert feet. so states a major cyber attack has also taken place against the nation's health per system. plus them, we've had them. 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 pam leeside. what the use on p, russia sanctions is costing through the past. i think that's in fact every member state is losing stuff. those figures show despite the sanctions, russian golf exports to europe. i've only grown this to start. repeat the just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow and it is the weekend, saturday, january the 25th. welcome to the our team. use our platinum or to said if the 2020 us election hadn't been quote stolen from donald trump,

the conflict in ukraine may never have started. i assume 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 they say it'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 stance 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 at bands, it's going to be impossible to come to any sort of legitimate agreement use to chic low. it 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 negotiation stuff. how can negotiations be yours, dm's? 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 and responds as and we know that such instructions exist to cancel the decree finding negotiations. but i think that in the end, as you pay the money to still force, keep to do this until this decree is cancelled. 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 your, it's stephen 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 person who's at pragmatic passengers, therefore, most likely it's really best for us to meet based on the realities of to dates full calmly on all those areas that are of interest to by the united states and russia. right. we already got skate. 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 to 2 developments in the ukraine conflict. as russian forces advanced in the hard copy region, the ukrainian torture room is allegedly being uncovered. a warning you may find some or indeed many of the following images disturbing. this cottage was taken by a russian army unit on the said to show you print in soldiers burnt to death. the russian troops say the victims all these appear to show traces of torture. and the men coming to escape because they were shackled,

been changed. no official comment on the investigation has been issued by those who saw the same and the soldiers may have refused to it. they attack orders. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has released video showing the destruction of abrams tanks supplied by the us. one of the vehicles was hit directly by a high precision. lots had thrown in the cursed region. the russian m. o. d also sees an offensive on a key settlement in the den. yes, the republic has split ukrainian troops into 2 groups with more in how that was achieved on the significance of it. here's our t z course of the. essentially, 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 nova. she will come into hobbs, which means that those ukranian troops that was stationed in the southern parts of

that settlement. 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 for you only use it by crossing. oh, 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 a to surrender. and this is something that the russian troops have been cooling on the ukrainian soldiers 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 ukraine and ex military members of the law

says that the ukrainian army is sustaining. and if any kind of a silk actually kolosso decided to shoot them. and we know that it's impossible to evacuate the issue of what did 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 another enough pontoons. and on the other hand, everything is under 5 of the situation is developed and now is critical. the situation with personnel is also critical to finances of the 110 to say that with the values assigned to them, they cannot carry out the oldest and they are 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 last. the last is in 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 are no people that because this everyone from recognizance to codes from chemical and biological protection troops to drive as the throwing it into the

engine free 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 every one can be in the infantry like rifleman needed now by the battalions and the brigades. one of the ukrainians had lost one of them, crane and officers 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 or forcibly mobilize those who have reached the age of 25 years old. here's what he had to say. 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 he had specifically abstained from using the word

mobilization in his speech, but again, it is unclear what are 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 showing us seeing as notes cause i believe that if we increase the value of human lives, it will create a problem for us in further survival in the war. we can see it the only way for ukraine to survive. the next years of war is to lower the value of life on what time you might right now with the from, for donald trump in office. of course a zalinski and his red knew they are trying to, well to literally fights for. they are literally fighting for the best negotiating

position the but they can guess they are fighting for leverage so far. they all failing. the russian sanctions have reached topic across europe with hungry alone, taking a 19000000000 euro hit that coming from the countries prime minister, who warranted you colleagues, that it's time to reconsider such a policies against bosco, of them, with how to me. if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years, what we will see that hungry has lost money out of it. see to 19000000000 euros june to the sanctions to which translates to 7500000000000. i'm gary and far in 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 fuel clinical, so it is not acceptable for hungary to pass. such costs shall surely others are

losing as well. that's the problem if you don't mind for the hon. gary in the states or setting up a hung gary and government side, because there's at least as much as well as talking all the big figures. storing energy prices have taking center stage with you and you k spending some 750000000000 euro to subsidize prices over the past 4 years. germany, by the way, the use biggest economy. so energy and rule material prices skyrocket by 80 percent last year. if the trend continues to fund this type 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 and 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 elegy in port with the ear buying more of most whose gas in the 1st 15 days of this year than they did in the same period in

2024. now, 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 this all. 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 comes in the western world. all business and politics are waiting to return to business, as usual, with russia. if you can see, ma'am, of one of the many european economies are feeling blow back and their desire to hurt russia are to contribute to rachel marston broke down one case in point earlier with my colleague richard 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 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, 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 all the of the situation here in france, lake to oregon said, 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 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 stalled 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. uh, 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 mess 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 one hand 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, 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 meant to 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. 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 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 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, 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 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 ukraine 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, the hackers have tried to knock slovakia as health care systems offline. and the countries prime minister essays for the doctors are typically so this credit for week is just don't that there is another major cyber attacks going on right now . and this time targeting the national health insurance company. i will mention it as part of a textbook example of how unruly governments are eliminated. governments that have a different opinion on some issues that have no problem telling the ukrainian president that we will not be blackmailed by him. that we are ready to take counter measures of at the ending of this textbook example in slovakia was certainly not invented by the people who are protesting and whom we respect. but this textbook example and model. in slovakia people is being implemented by representatives of

the slow back opposition sort of n g o's, financed from abroad is a significant part of the slow back anti government's media. and of course, trainers from abroad who are on the territory of the slow back republic on his attitude. when it comes on the back of most protest in the country, demonstrators claim the prime minister is acting in moscow's interests when it comes to the ukraine conflict. those rallying or demanding his resignation and wanton immediate boost and military and financial support to mr. feet, so a leg, just the demonstrations are being fuels finance by foreign powers previously orchestra. the might on to a new train in 2014, on the recent on risk them georgia. the slovak leader adds that he welcomes peaceful protests, but vida response and violence. great. so let me show you as well another european country, romania, huge crowds making their feelings tear, but there we simply counselled. presidential election of the 1st run was one by independent candidates. colleen for jessica. however, the constitutional at court

a know that sold claiming russian interference, european court of human rights. so since rejected and appealed by the winner, mister jessica, who has called them people to take to the streets and to show national unit sp no i to research or off the answer to it's all the european studies in belgrade, dr. stephan guy, which on this as the you're most welcome. we've got a situation where robert feet, so has been one of the few european leaders publicly challenging. is a lensky and brussel stands. a know we have a mazda of cyber attack on the country protests on the streets. it's hard not to see a connection here that yes uh i am uh, in a way surprised by the reaction of why was a part of the lock in for violation. that was paid, so he's

a leader who has proven to be somebody who, who can survive because he survived the 5 bullets. and i think this is less. 3 than that, but still i am very surprised that so many people came out with the flags and we will be in union now in 2025. so in a way these protests are really kind of retro, yeah, they are so cool with others change. after your opinion was exposed as the size, the overly supported journalist side, you got as of that's overly tired of it. first of all, it's created more in the ukraine and then it's fuel that. so that's it last forever . so i must say i'm surprised by people in slovakia, i like these grow that we have protesting romania which are actually against the anti democratic policies. russell and protesting serbia races if

would be completely unimaginable to see a flag of european union or leave us to say you break it up in uh, distribution of vend rate that also. so we're also seeing a protest today. so these, these companies are all close to each other, but they're really different types of, let's say, a public opinion in these, treat it very interesting. the, the scope of p, m, call this a textbook example of how to topple and really government alluding to the my done at what happened recently in georgia. cut it work. you will see it all depends, of course on the security of her assets of the country, because uh if uh it is shutter then a. uh cool as possible. if not,

uh, i don't see any uh, anything like that happening. especially with the credits that uh feature has uh he was a victim of, uh, the association with them. and uh, nobody from the brussel seems to be. i mean in fact they seem to be kind of disappointed. uh, because he survived. i think russel of his out in a deep price isn't this, maybe the last push to try to steer up some kind of unrest in so why can't be squared because the lock here is a level country for them. that is how you would be in union on the line as a crone and other again was the leaders. i like to call them the double screw, hobbies these, milwaukee a and other this it is the country a couple of our so that now that there are too strong or even 3 strong and side neighbors leaders in the world. the 1st of all, there's a bunch of good things on you have to hold from winning. the european union is in

a quite mean the leadership, the privilege and opinion of the major major countries. there are in the quite of a big crisis. so i think that is why they're trying to come there to get some uh, credits by uh, by, by carpeting their policies to words. like, yeah, a lot of decisions. if ukraine is behind this to, to whatever degree, how would being involved in a tax and the slovak government, how does not help t of achieving more favorable arbitrate from breakfast lava is willing to move. not potentially bach fire on the as it can backfire, but they are in desperate position now. so only some kind of escalation in their view would be helpful because of what they're trying to do. i tried to drag the united states even with trump at to get to the involved in the conflict. and it seems that i would listen to what was promptly saying last month. that is quite the

contrary. they don't want to send more, a weapons. busy to you great. i think it isn't. yeah, i was in a similar position. always the location of more info on installer and zillow is also quite desperate because i mean, he's on, he's the president anymore because there weren't any elections often younger hughes term. and now the only pull a geisha that escalation of more and more work from sammy, from countries and likes to watch that because before feed. so watch, it was something there was the phrase only that can can. so uh this um, a group of people staying power and interest, brussels interest of the creek and she has are the same at the moment. and. busy they feel that they are endangered. so that is why they scaling up the game by trying to topple elements such as one of the lock your prevents people like joe

just cool coming to power in romania. very interesting analysis. thanks for breaking down. all of that for us research, you're at the institute of european studies in belgrade, dr. steph engaged many thanks. thank you for holding here. you know, i mean the wreckage across the board to and gals that people are beginning to clear the mass of debris in the hope. the ongoing ceasefire will allow them to finally rebuild their lives. palestinians across the end, cliff attended their 1st friday prior. since the start of the crews gathering inside damage most, surrounded by rubble and the new throughout refuge account, children were seen roaming around slots and buildings and collapsed minarets in the southern city of can you just on the left of your screen there? worshippers place their mount side side, holding prayers among the ruins of what used to be their homes. palestinian authority say more than 800 most were destroyed and this really attacks in guns last year alone. something else on this galvan police who were kept off the streets

of this trip for 15 months by the idea of are not returning with security forces also between roads and guarding aid con voice. they say they're committed to ensuring people safety. i'm presenting looting the mining teams. i've also started their work, so the space palestinians can return to once the left of their homes. since the agreement to end the war of genocide against our people were 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. while the spread of security forces is evident in various key areas in strange to ensure the return of displaced persons survival in 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. or speaking to our t v head of the palestinian ministry overseeing prisoners the 1st claimed west through his lung was doing all i could to delay the progress of the current fraud jobs explore to be 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 struggle. if it were not for the serious pressure on israel from the international community, and regional states, the cease fire and gaza would not have been agreed upon. israel, as you know, has been inventing excuses since may 2024, to delay the tox. well, with a gas a ceasefire not being enforced, the idea is able to focus attention on another by less than the entire tree. the westbank, the idea of offensive targeting, don't you name refugee camp? indian saves north is now going to a 4th day with scenes of policies and other buildings being demolished. there's also reports of brains in arrests and several other areas across the west, by local se israel wants to turn the territory into a 2nd gas. and 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 than 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. ok. all right, next the change of pace selves are you travel to our region where majestic pix guards, centuries of heritage joined peter scott, on the inland visions team as the explore the russian republic of albert. do you know both? how are you? i'm to europe's highest mountain sending images the
