"we are brothers." let me remind you that earlier this week the serbs unfurled a banner “belgorod, we are with you” at a euroleague basketball match. in the west of ukraine, a scandal erupted due to the fact that in the village of pushkin they refused to demolish a monument to a soviet soldier and a pedestal for fellow villagers. this is a principled decision of the local residents, it was... unanimously at the general meeting , a wave of indignation immediately arose on social networks; neo-nazis believe that this issue should be dealt with by the sbu. the woman who was abused in lithuania turned out to be a ukrainian refugee, but she spoke russian, so she was mistaken for a russian citizen. the incident occurred on a city bus, here are the images. russia is not he

the special military operation in ukraine will end this year, says scott ritter.s opinion, kiev has already lost. russia will win this war, this cannot continue indefinitely. the west is tired, the west is turning away from ukraine and ukraine will be left alone with its victimhood. i can't say what victory will look like? only russian the authorities may say so, but i am sure that the conditions for this victory are taking shape. and i think it will happen this year. previously, a military expert predicted the failure of the counter-offensive of the ukrainian armed forces. according to him, he knew that kiev did not have the necessary equipment, organization and support for this. ukraine is burning through its military reserves , becoming weaker and weaker every day. russia's military-industrial complex is active. the ukrainian counter-offensive was doomed, and if i knew it, then everyone in nato knew it too. all the military experts in the west knew all this, but we allowed the counter-offensive to begin. ukraine and support for kiev from the west it is obvious

the earlier i spoke to dw corresponded rebecca ritter's in jerusalem, who told me more about what the demonstrators are demanding. we so multiple protests across the country last night that one in tel aviv that you speak called but it's certainly the largest of the ones that we saw yesterday. and it's something we've been saying every week since the beginning of this conflict, people coming out the to demand a largely different strategy to the way that the hostage situation is being dealt with. and that's something those calls going louder and louder. the longer people, these hostages remain inside gauze, the families becoming increasingly anxious and increasingly angry towards the government and with definite leasing calls for fresh elections calls for the government to stand down. we saw other protests in all the cities, such as high for even in the see the rear, which is where the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a private residence or people outside his house campaigning, protesting for him to stand down. people increasingly across israel, frustrated with the way that he's be

american intelligence veteran scott ritter, following the results of his extensive trip to russia, includings, gave his expert forecast of how the situation in ukraine will develop further. i believe that it is russia that will determine. the outcome and conditions on which this conflict will end, and neither ukraine nor the united states will be able to determine this outcome, zelensky’s formula is unrealistic, russia will determine the outcome of this conflict, the west, i am sure, will have to reckon with this. alexander khristenko, sofia petrosyan, kirillo volkov, news. in in general, they want to force germany to take over funding for the armed forces of ukraine, and hysteria is being whipped up in the country. biel even published an article. public consciousness, well, in france , farmers again went out to protest, the government is reducing support, in addition, prices for diesel and water for irrigating fields have soared. the authorities do not respond to the demands of the trade unions; the protests are not shown on television. farmers end up blocking highways. anastasia popova saw

american veteran intelligence officer scott ritter, following his extensive trip to russia, includingew regions gave his expert forecast of how the situation in ukraine will develop further. i believe that it is russia that will determine the outcome and the conditions on which this conflict will end, and neither ukraine nor the united states will be able to determine this outcome, zelensky’s formula is unrealistic, russia will determine the outcome of this conflict. and the west, i’m sure rieter will have to reckon with this. alexander khristenko, sofia petrosyan, kirill volkov, news. slovakia is upset, they put ukraine received mig-29 fighters, but, according to the minister of defense, they never saw the money. he noted that the previous government made it so that the country was left without... missile defense, without combat aircraft, and besides, it deceived the european union and never paid the 700 million euros promised for the planes. world politics now is such that when resolving issues , military force has become the determining argument, alexander lukashenko stated this, e

joining us now to discuss is host of side ebar podcast, joshua ritter.tit toe's parents are accusing brian laundrie's parents of knowing their daughter had been murdered and where, where might her remains be. the question is, what did brian laundrie say in those 20 calls, and what does it mean, gabby is gone? >> yeah. i -- the question's coming down to intentional infliction of emotional distress and how much did the parents know. it's not so much how much did they know, were they not sharing that information, but were they helping their son to conceal his involvement, and were they making signals to the press at that same time that led the parents of petiteo to believe she might still be alive. if they were causing them first disstreet by leading them -- distress by leading them to believe their daughter could be found knowing all along she's likely dead, that's the heart of the whole case. will: do you find that compelling? look, you talked 20 times in 2 days. he said to you she was gone. you should have known or you did know that he had killed gabby p

youtube and and tik tok escapades, the former. the us marine and former un weapons inspector scott ritter has been very derisary about the military abilities and capabilities of the israeli army and i would say that that is largely because this is quite a different army to the one that fought in the 1967 wars, this is an army which police... women and children, which pulls the hijabs of the heads of unarmed palestinian women, which regularly rounds up and arrests and locks up children. this is an army which doesn't ordinarily engage with soldiers, now it is fully engaged with hamas and of course they have seriously underestimated. the abilities of the hamas fighters uh who are nothing like uh they obviously expected yeah during uh this war they announced a 111 days ago after the october 7 attack that the mission was to eradicate hamas yeah and so yeah as far as i can see "the leadership is still intact, the soldiers are still fighting, and yesterday was the heaviest day on record uh, for the israeli soldiers who lost 24 of their own. exactly, it sure was. uh, angelica, um, let's talk abou

its new, upgraded shelters on a road show, stopping at cities all across california and today the rittercenter in san rafael partnered with pallet to put the new shelters on display. >> there's not enough shelter capacity right now in marin for everybody who's experiencing homelessness, and this kind of option, where people can have their own unit for people who have experienced a lot of trauma , people with mental illness, this kind of unit can work really well. we're living around a lot of people might not work. >> some of the shelter amenities include having a private bathroom room. the structures are easily deployable. in fact, they say they can be assembled in just about 90 minutes. bay area tech companies are laying off more workers, the east bay times reports. bill dotcom is cutting 156 jobs. juniper is cutting 51. spotify slashing 44 positions and biotech firm amyris is cutting 89 jobs. these latest numbers appear to show a shaky start to the new year. well an update now on efforts to recall the alameda county district attorney. we'll tell you about the letter just sent to the co

so we talked about that, and that was that i think was one of the last shows i had him and scott ritter on his book and dan, talking about nuclear war. so it was assigned to the 1st amendment espionage. jackie was obsessed with trying to get repealed and uh the, the possibility and probably. ready the of a, a nuclear paula cass holocaust. so dan was so passionate and, and it's in my keep just buried himself into everything that he did that he was committed to really did. and he was definitely a voracious reader and up to date on everything. and, and a very, a genteel and a visual and unselfish, i mean, really an incredible role model. the fact that he buried himself into these issues, even as a slate stage in his life. it reminds me of i of stone at age 80, going to greece chandler x out of sweet, ancient greek, to write the above the trial o'clock or takes on. i want to ask you about something that dan devoted his final years to that was the fight to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. he was passionate about this topic. tell us about that. i think this is what mixed in such a f

by the way, former american intelligence officer scott ritter stated back in december that the unitedre war on the houthis. the us superpower, which spends almost a trillion dollars a year on its military, is preparing to go to war with the impoverished country. 70% of the population is in dire need of humanitarian assistance. reason because houthis and emina. joe knows how to rebuild this country, people don't see how hard he works every day, he gets up thinking about what he can do for americans. joe is measured in his decisions, he is the right man, or you could say he is the right man, to work in this country at this time. well, only the right person doesn’t really understand who he’s approaching, what he’s doing, what he’s saying, in general, he’s ideal for creating world chaos. andrey konstantinovich, don’t you think that all this is being done by the americans for in order to shift the focus from the internal agenda to the external? well, firstly, of course, biden needs a small victor for the picture, for the elections. war, so far this has worked out very poorly. afghanistan i

former american intelligence officer of the us marine corps, well, in fact, a prominent publicist ritter sure many of our viewers know him, stated that if an american journalist found himself in such circumstances. if he had disappeared on the territory of russia, especially since he would have been killed, it would have been confirmed, god forbid, in the foreign ministry, it would have been the main news not only in the united states of america, but probably throughout the world. gonzalo liro said that if he goes missing for more than 12 hours, it should be assumed that something bad happened to him. 5 days have passed, if a new york times reporter disappeared into territory under russian control, it would be the main news, but since it is gonzalo, silence. friends, if i may be brief, they killed an american citizen, a journalist , the state department confirms this, everything is fine, yes, friends, this is normal, these are the realities of ukraine, maybe they ordered it themselves, how do we know, listen, well, he said everything himself and scott ritter and so on , this is absolutel
