smokesman says the relations between russia and the nato military alliance has reached a level of quote direct confrontation. dimitri peskov said the members of the us led alliance are already in continuous movement towards russia's borders through their involvement in the ukraine conflict. moscow has clearly stated that the war with ukraine aimed to prevent the western alliance from approaching russian borders. the military alliance enlarged to 32 members by accepting finland and sweden. in the past year, nato has been helping ukraine with advanced weapons, training and intelligence. the military block's members are now discussing plans for more than $100 million dollars of further military aid for kiev. ukraine has also been seeking to join nato in recent years, which could escalate the tensions between russia and the west to even higher level. dona bar is radio host and journalist
12:48 am
at cpr news joining us from assing new york. we also have greg simmons an independent. researcher and author joining us from upsala sweden. welcome to you both. i'll start with you first, don debar. 100 million dollars. i don't - that's a lot or maybe it's not a lot, but it does sound like lot for a commitment to perhaps be pondering there by nato to give to ukraine. what are your thoughts on that? depends on what you're measuring it against. let's start with, what was russia's annual military budget, this big threat to world peace prior. to this war that began in earnest in february of 2022, $65 billion a year, that there's actually no country in the world that has a budget of more than $100 billion a year for their military except the us and china. china is about 250 billion for its entire military to protect one and a half
12:49 am
billion people, so from that measure a billion $100 billion is an awful lot of money. let's look. get it however from the cost to the people that are paying it in the united states and presumably in the eu, with hundre billion dollars, you could solve the homeless problem in the united states entirely, there'd be no more homelessness in the united states rather than tens of thousands of people living in the streets in every major city, you could solve the hunger problem in the entire world for five years with hundre billion dollars, you know nine million people a year die of starvation. in the world every year, you could solve that problem, so it's a lot of money, indeed uh, it's quite uh, i shouldn't say surprising greg simmons, but it's um somewhat um, i don't know uh, what to call it, to say that uh nato has done this before trump comes comes on board, i mean we're looking at eight months now, if that were to happen, and between now and eight months from now,
12:50 am
including april, lot of things could happen when it comes to nato and russia, uh, given this uh aid, were to happen or not, we're still looking at the tensions there that keep ratcheting up, what type of confrontations do you for see or where do you see this going in terms of the military aspect of it? well, i think the main problem is the level of unpredictability, and the unpredictability comes from the collective west, because what you have here is a bunch of mediocre politis. so the it seems their egos are worth more uh than a major military confrontation that nato initiates with russia uh so this level of
12:51 am
emotional uh investment in it uh from them makes it very unpredictable, the predictability comes from russia which has been to date, i'd say rather restrained uh and ' very cautious about these constant provocations uh which have been used to try and irritate russia. all right, thank you very much. let me thank our guest don davar, radio host and journalist at cpr news and also greg simmonster independent research, researcher and author. thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this news review. welcome back, pakistan's authorities have detained dozens of individuals in the aftermath of a protest where demonstrates chanty chanting anti-israely slogans set fire

12:53 am
schools and aid convoys continue. we are uh already seeing the impact on the economy, on the financial decline of mcdonald's and bacon. it's huge, even in some countries and arab countries uh those outlets are being closed because nobody is buying it. the ongoing genocide in gaza has fueled anger and frustration among people worldwide, prompting calls for boyots against entities believe to support israel financially or politically. boyot is something that we are um, you know what, this is what we feel from our heart from inside that we don't want to support their economy, we don't want to support the companies that are supporting these riley soldiers, so for that we need to boycott, i know this is not a permanent solution but we have to... authorities are now faced with the challenge of managing the fall out from the incident and preventing further escalation of tensions. as temples run high in pakistan due

3000 years have passed since king david and his son solomon built a place for worshipping
12:56 am
god. that worshiping site is now called an aksa mask. it's no surprise that this mask is respected by all muslims, christians and jews. the history of each of these religions is intertwined with the history of palestine and this mask. the israelite prophets all arose in this region. after setting for in algods, jesus immediately entered this worshiping site, from which he began his prophetic mission. muslims regard al-aqsa as one of the four major masks, which they adopted as their first qibla or worshipping direction in the early years of islam. the name of this mask is entwined with the miracle of mi'raj, night when prophet muhammad miraculously traveled from mecca to alqsamask and then ascended to the heavens and spoke with god's angels. and aksamask was destroyed, rebuilt and renovated several
12:57 am
times. in different historical periods in 1099 and after seising algods, the crusaders built a church inside an aqsamask, however six years later salahuddin ayubi recaptured it. he renovated the mehrab of the mask. al-aqsa has gone through many bitter and sweet experiences, the biterest of which was the day when the zionist occupiers took full. control of al-aqsa after a six day war.
