u. s. certainly had to make compromises in not securing the release of pol whelan when i spoke to a correspondent and russian affairs analyst constantine i got in vilnius earlier, i asked him if russia had also had to make compromises in the swamp? well, it's only a supposition box, some american, a old let's media. let's reported that mr. poacher really wanted one person out, but this person serving oh, well my symptoms in germany's name is virgin cross. you go and it's been sent us to wife for the king of a former church on was the middle of berlin in 2019. maybe maybe fully my supposition. so my suspicion good. you want to buy them to pressure over from the german government to release a classical and then with exchange bought, it seems it didn't work out, but that is all we hope offices as constantine. i got reporting there. let's now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. of course, and moscow has found opposition. politicians, ilia yashimi guilty of spreading false information about the russian military and ukraine. yashimi had described the killings of c

u. s. was clearly an underdog and his match. and i think all the fans, you're certainly knew that, but there was some certain expectation, especially after that one goal by the u. s. navy. they could tie it up and send it into a penalty kicks. but it certainly wasn't to be, but it was certainly incredible atmosphere here. as i said, several 1000 people here were watching the match on a huge big screen tv up on a stage here. and this city a is, they call themselves the soccer capital of america. and they will actually be hosting a, one of the world cup matches here in kansas city in 4 years time. during the 2026 world cup. there will be held in the us, canada, and mexico. but certainly everyone here disappointed that sort of what the message that everyone is saying because they certainly wanted and were hoping for maybe the underdogs usa could be defeat the netherlands. but it certainly wasn't to be at least not on this day game. thank you very much. for that given and he's under live there in kansas city, missouri, and brazilian football legend pele has been moved to pal

u. s. is just happy to have another reason to send the defense industry money. but at the same time, this certainly take most to russia that the role of the u. s. and deepening in ukraine that therefore it really just reaffirms russians believes that they're not so much by the ukraine as they are fighting the collective. wes met him interesting point that you transferred. and he said that once the us patriot missile systems are installed, cave will still ask for more weaponry. you touched upon this, is this an escalation of the conflict? yeah, i believe it is. and i believe russia will see it is such which is just as important as whatever the objective back. so we know that russia will see it as such. and so this moves as ever so closer and more dangerously to a greater complex gratian that could end up in either or both sides using nuclear weapons. this is highly irresponsible. and may i point out that this is happening on the eve of the christmas holidays is why i wanted, isn't it? when we will be celebrating the birth of the printer piece is shocking. when i remember in mobile too, when they, th

u. s. and iran during a time when no one can realistically expect the g. c p away to be revived. i expect ohio to certainly be a place where a u. s. in iranian officials, will be able to at least have some sort of back channel communication. and this is something that his main cup are very important to the united states. there have been many difficult thought diplomatic crises over the years in which the united states is turned to go off a with for help when it comes to mediation and communication with some difficult actors. i'm, you know, whether we're talking with how we're ban iran or certain militias in the, in the region. i think ya, car is going to continue to be language roll down the line. there is that old either, just that you keep your friends close, your enemies close. so when you talk about your friends having cotton, they may talk about the us. but they weren't that close when cattle experienced a nea 4 year blockade by its neighbors, that it does have to keep an eye you might say over at shoulda in the region, because not everybody's a friend, even though they say so now. well you know, when

u. s. economy. well, many americans are looking at that and saying, well, what about all the inflation he's provide resided over? i mean, that's gonna certainly have an impact on the u. s. economy, but when it comes to ukraine, now the u. s. congress moved the house and the senate are happy to open up their checkbooks and pass legislation in may. there was $40000000000.00 provided to ukraine by the united states in september, an additional $12300000000.00 was passed by the u. s. congress and provided to ukraine. meanwhile, if one looks at the polls, the u. s. public isn't deeply concerned about you. ukraine just isn't showing up among the top issues that americans are concerned about. americans are concerned about inflation, the economy. they're concerned about the danger of war. but this notion that, that ukraine and sending weapons and a grant is one of their top concern doesn't seem to be a priority. but regardless, we'd now see the binder administration on the brink of essentially turning its back and really doing significant damage to one of the strongest allies, the labor movement, taking away the ability of railroad workers to withhold

u. s. economy. well, many americans are looking at that and saying, well, what about all the inflation he's provide presided over. i mean, that's going to certainly have an impact on the u. s. economy. now there's a separate piece of legislation that has passed in the house of representatives that would grant 7 paid sick days to railroad workers. however, it looks like, even though this has been passed in the house of representatives, and this is seen as getting a concession to the railroad workers. it looks like it's not going to pass in the u . s. senate, they don't feel confident that the u. s. senate will go ahead and pass this piece of legislation. the president of course, support. he supports paid sick leave for all americans and for including real workers. this is something, as you have seen him over the past, almost 2 years. talk about that and try to move forward and making sure and improve in, in getting paid sick leave. but he understands there are not 60 boats, right? there are not 60 votes in the senate to make that happen. but one issue that it always got in the 60 votes in the us senate that the by the ministration says, is needed

u. s. government has supported them. we don't have concrete evidence yet showing conclusively that the ca organize them. but it certainly does raise an eyebrow to see that a t i a officer who is now the us ambassador to peru and as they say in the u. s, there's really no such thing as a former agent, really. i mean they continue much of their same work just as the former head of the state department in mike pale was also director of the ca. the point, any way is that the us ambassador grew the former agent. he met with the defense minister one day before the congressional who against pedro castillo. and on the day of the who, the defense minister was above you, published a video in which he encouraged the military to go again. the democratically elected president castillo. now there's been a lot of misleading claims in western media outlets spread by western governments, trying to accuse castillo himself of the crew, which is really blaming the victim of the coo. and it's similar to the coo and 2019 against even morales. the democratically elected president of bolivia, that was another example of a coup against a democr

certainly it's the u . s. who is behind this deal, and it's also the united states. it was pledged to be the protector of the kurds. but as we can see, once again, they're just willing to use them as a bargaining chip. whether or not this officially goes forward in a real sense, it is a done deal. and it shows that the u. s. is absolutely has no interest in peace and diplomacy or negotiation. they are all about aggressive us war planning. they want nato expansion official or unofficial britons lawn tennis association has been hit with a $1000000.00 fine off the wilma, them bond players from russia and bella rou, salyers this year. and the ruling from the 80 p which controls the men's game globally, follows an earlier fine by the women's tennis association. so for now, here's the reaction by british tennis we stand by our original position on this matter, that unilateral decision making by members of the association of tennis professionals threatens our ability to operate as a global sport. we believe that the measures taken protect the long term future of our games a
