with the just because that's the fortunately we're getting unfortunately trainings that the situation is critical to be. whitehouse admits k of schools as a struggling in the box. so feels have missed a lot of support from washington top coincidence not dc politicians. this one about a new washington's face threat holding on and divided congress to united against as well as royal claims. it's fighting for survival and it's also not everyone at home is on page without message on menus, correspondent, not since the difficulties tracing local, unseen. who acts of this it also has from those present the violence is justified. yeah. by the process of getting ready to come on, we, unfortunately, it's not some,

it's 30000 the 1000 strength in numbers, malia but can't of pots. so this discuss plans to create a confederation made ongoing sanctions with the west africa dropped off at the desktop 1 pm here in moscow. 6 they are joining us from, breaks out that you want from me on the whole the same very welcome. well, let's start with the latest from the ukraine. conflict reports increasingly suggests that key a full says coming on to severe strain, particular around the strategic city of updates from where it strips a partially withdrawn. now the us national security council spoke pass not strong copy, outlined the power of the situation on the ground. i want to share a few words about the battlefield, such an a situation in ukraine where the fighting is incredibly intense in the east,

particularly in a city called of the of the city that we've talked about several times before. unfortunately, we're getting reports from the ukrainians that the situation is critical. in very large part, this is happening because ukrainian forces on the grounds are running out of artillery ammunition because congress has yet to pass the supplemental bill. we've not been able to provide ukraine. the artillery shows that they desperately need to disrupt these russian insults. while task is considered a strategic point of the thoughtful lines, they're using control over the city would push kids troops to can farther away from the regional capital done yet. but it's not the only spot on the front line where the situation is becoming critical. so you print from a cia on this. larry johnson believes the lack of trained soldiers is beginning to bite your queens more assets. it's called retreat. and the reason they're doing that is it's a combination of factors. they're like ammunition,

they're like artillery shells. they have no air support, no fixed wing air support. they have a real power with a, with manpower. they do not have a sufficient cod ray of trained soldiers that what they have are ill trained, elderly soldiers, man who are in the fifty's and sixty's, who have no business of being on a front line. and then to make matters worse, they're not properly trained. they're not properly equipped, switching to service king who's known not so affectionately as the butcher. anytime you have a general known as the butcher, it's not exactly a vote of confidence from the troops on the front lines and he's reported to be not favored. the most obviously a post, he has a very dismal try track record going back to the battle and i think it was 2015 in the bought survey and then followed up with boss moved that debacle. and now he's,

he's like a black, a bad black jack player at a casino. he keeps doubling down on losing hands and doesn't recognize when it comes to the time is to walk away from the table. so he reportedly had ordered a new reserve, some of the better troops remaining, which that was one of the big differences between sir ski and the allusion a, his predecessor on the same briefing by the us national security council spokesperson, the white house of finally confirmed that the much hyped threat to national security, that that means so much speculation over this week did in fact refer to russia. john copy said it's renee to on to stop to like weapons developed by most good for how much i can share about the specific nature of the threats. i can confirm that it is related to an anti satellite capability that russia's developing president biden has been kept fully informed and regularly informed by his national security

team, including today. he has directed a series of initial actions including additional readings to congressional leaders, direct diplomatic engagement with russia, with our allies in our partners as well, and with other countries around the world to have interest in the state. intelligence community has serious concerns about a, about a broad di classification of this intelligence. well, this declaration of an apparent anti satellites threat from russia comes along side a major defeats for the ukranian military on the battlefield. and as arguments are raging in washington as to whether or not to send more military aids to ukraine itself, and this new wave of fear sweeping washington and actually started with a pro key of republican congressman mike turner, claiming that the white house had brief to him on this new threats, interestingly enough, this is the same politician who led to a house delegation to key. i've just last week where he promised vladimir his lensky, that more money and more weapons are going to be freed up in the near future for

the ukrainian military. and lo and behold, this apparent threats at the white house says it's confirmed is uniting both republicans and democrats, especially the pro key of crowd, was like turner himself and his democratic colleague, nancy pelosi. i wanna thank jake sullivan for being here today. he had a great presentation, very thoughtful, where he's the chairman of the intelligence committee, and i respect his judgment. we believe that it was important enough to notify the other members of congress as this is unfolding. there will be, i think, time so much congress needs to be engaged in support of the administration. but any like that can be shared on the dangers of russia is to the world. it's important to recognize what this even goes is beyond the pro key of crowd really because even the speaker of the house, who essentially rose to prominence by taking a stance against a more age to crane, seems to be jumping on turner's bandwagon. let's take a listen to what he's saying. this is a matter that we've known about for

a few weeks. we requested a meeting with the president. i did, we did in writing in january. it's a serious matter. it is a very serious matter. it doesn't involve russia, it's not a matter that can involve delay. it's something we have to address seriously. and on an immediate basis, the white house gave us information. today they're going to remain in close contact with. we does have congress on the issue and it will be dealt with the steady hands of the wheel or what has most cuz reaction towards this being, i mean, the oldest thing here's to being a single pointed out as the enemy. but any reaction will refer to response from the kremlin, which says that this is basically just a very obvious attempt by washington to green light more money by scaring lawmakers into opening up the states wallet. it is obvious that the white house is trying, by hook or by crook, to encourage congress to vote on a bill to allocate money. this is obvious. we'll see what tricks the white house will use. have of course it looks like the kremlin spokesperson,

there's referring to this new ukraine a to feel that there once again trying to push through the house of representatives . it's been discussed for a long time. it's been rejected several times. so we're gonna have to see how this new wave of hysteria and washington about an apparent russian threat is going to influence that process from authentic and security on this michael maloof believes that the social space, right, it's not actually down here many countries, including the us itself ok, look to say of any country that has a nuclear weapon and has a space capability and can and has ballistic missiles and kind of orbit satellites can actually orbit a satellite, which is in effect would be a nuclear weapon and can exploded between 2 and 300 miles in orbit any time. and, and the create what would be called an electromagnetic pulse. and we're seeing that today. uh, north korea has that capability, russia, china, us, they all have it. and, and so this is nothing new. my feeling is that given that it's turner who is

biting his hair on fire and putting it out with a frying pan is the because he is trying to insight action to pass that legislation . he's a, he's in the habits supporter of it. it just came over to the house, there's going to be problems with it, getting it approved. so i think that this is his way of trying to raise an alarm about russia. and it's, uh, yeah, yeah, it's a threat to the united states. and it's, it's just another one of those things that the peep, even though season the congressmen and senators are saying, you know, we, we've, knowing all of this and, and that, that possibility is there. but it's not happening, in fact, that we know of. meanwhile, this experience is such a, it just shows russian forces, conducting operations in the northern parts of new bounced region round the thoughts along with drone operations all being carried out in the criminal

a region such as that were used to support the defense of operation on to almost also known as box, what is what many food, most actions of, of all kind of group now fight as part of another unit. all these equals donald for pulls from the city, which still stands as a reminder of the fist fighting that wants to pace. it's a city in ruins. it's crumbling. facades are a testament to possibly the bloody is battle of the ukraine war, which wants this place to this day. that, that most below me is the city of trauma. and arguably, the biggest menace here is not artillery, not tanks, but coming kazi drones. and when the visibility is this good, this whole neighborhood is the prowling ground, the soldiers that we are imbedded with the i'll be keep telling us constantly,

listen, listen for the bus. because well, everybody understands. we con, spend much time on this roof. tough. we are here on borrowed time. the streets are all too familiar for the fight is where with they are the ones who kicked ukrainian troops out of every nook and cranny over to almost proudly wearing the insignia of the wagner company on their sleeves. dividing the group itself, also known as the orchestra or musicians, is going through a tubule in phase these wagner, veterans still carry that music in their hearts. but now the play a tune of the road as a different unit called camera tone. or the tuning fork is almost all summer the idea of use for the out of to musical instruments to be cleaned up and tuned properly. in other words, they all return to the original state used for their intended purpose and effectively performed the tasks or put them on the right parts of the smart

battalion, the food, new legacy. the crucible of war are. plenty has changed here since the dispatch to the front lines last year. one thing stay the same as though the enemy in front of them are both in philadelphia. the targets are different. we face the infantry, including the sheltered infantry hiding in the dugouts. we also come across armored vehicles and you don't want it to come or tone might be a smaller units, but it's also a mean a one dedicated to, to finish what they started you to the youth and you out opponents. he's finding the wrong way. this is the big mistake, the sold will judge us all decisions that be made and if they make it in time, then let them use a special frequency and say, vote for surrender. there is nothing more to say. i'm it gets done of reporting for almost 2 months oxy as violence such as in the west bank and

a full scale who unfolds involves a support among is ways that own forces is by no means you're not of us on t will protest is all right, can you take him to the streets, to montana and what they to the genocide and gaza? well, it's not making our lives very easy. and it's all teasing with russia has been finding out of late in the afternoon after work. diane's 23 year old is really jewish, and 2 were activist from haifa, as well as the 3rd largest city and the biggest in the north is waiting for her friend and other activist. hey yon comes soon. the to start discussing what would be the best location for today's defend any odds bag signs and posters in hebrew and english with various calls including to stop genocide and gaza. and to refuse joining these really military. the 2 together with 7 other protesters here for a silent picket dripping by an irresistible urge to speak out. this war is

a product of the freshman of the occupation, of 48th and the end of the 6730000. so simians are murdered the same government, this supposedly wants to represent to me in my interest. it's in the endless cycle of violence. if we want this, we must so, so, so for me to, to go out into the story to tell the world. so the israel is that we exist onto our activities will exist even if it's, if it's a single cost or free them, they call this protest. the idea is to say one place for around 20 minutes and then move on, skipped to another location, not to be close by police. on these the years do have grounds. guy a has been detained twice. and that is only after the war started to the police or violent towards us. always. if it's in a process they'll, they'll come to talk 2 bits you up a little bit,

push you to put you through the floor into the you'll be in a police car for a couple of hours. we thought this wasn't good experience to, to get to be seen by a police officer and know that you can do anything. so just to defense yourself, because if you'll defense yourself, he'll be talks with um, will texting the police officer when they detain you? they charge in, they try to charge me with the incitement with disturbance of the public order. they'll say that you are a treat to have the country that you're putting the public risk to tell you many, many things the bus eventually those, the only due to scare you. and it's not the only police that the anti war protests are through pressure from. what do we film a young man passing by stops to express his disagreement with slogans. minutes later the car stops new, the crow test. the

how you feel about your fellow is really is just like this woman. now, like putting shame on you because this is going genocide drive out and you got the most people in isabel. they don't really realize that's because you really don't understand that they are very much they believe it was just the funding itself. they don't really think about the fact that as i was killing tens of thousands more than a 1000000 people were pushed away, of their lands again is really the, the, the self defense is what it was trying to defend. it's called colonial presence. in that sense, it is defending itself. people as told that costs of limited civilities, law enforcement division stops, light's flashing, though not to police. they are responsible for maintaining public order and safety

. they leave. so if the, the activists are aware they may return and detention could fall as they rush to fold and hide their posters. preparing to make a quick escape. i think the officers coming to us. so let's see how is gonna end today. they're coming. sorry, who's speaking this with someone, the anti war protests? the small one is the problem. it's not legal. what they need permission. you mean? even if it's just 5 people according to is really long on the protest with over 50 participants requires a permit to proceed. which we did not august the i don't know when we were waiting

for you. they just run away in fear of the tension. although it is not in the authority of these men, the activists dispersed, slipping into the fabric of the city like shadows. but the protest is not over. we catch them 20 minutes later in another part of the city. and here again, unpleasant encounters with people passing by, supporting the war, slamming the protest. there's one states before on the silver reading of some sort of government building does come us getting rid of them. yeah. by the process of getting rid of it from on we unfortunately it's not some, it's 30000 people in the of the yellow everything. that's me said they are the same. old recent polls show the significance majority was really support the idea of the defensive in guys,

i'm physical with them to palestinian sources, claimed thousands of lives, including civilians, children among them. if you'll say the news channels, you'll see the people that are coming to the news channels that they're talking about feeling guidelines about the bus, a clean thing they brought in, brainwash you to thinking that the that it's okay to kill 30000 people in god. so this is not just the one off a spell of madness, genocidal madness by the continuation of an ongoing process. and we want it stop. the protest skips to another location and then it's over for tonight the acts of a so happy no one was detained. that means all of them will take to the streets again the next evening to prove they exist. and so does the alternative point of view. a racing ocean all to resulting from high saw the be 3 west african stay 12, molly, but keen of funds. so on misha or money,

i do forming a confederation the pounds being discussed at a joint meeting. so back in september, the trio, how to read to you for calling members of the new created a lot of the health states designed to defend against external aggression. the move payment made the current confrontation with the original echo as not of west africa nations. in china, jaretha, 3 countries fully equipped with an ice ation, instead choosing to deep and co operation with each other. even discussing introduction of the coming currency. this is trisha has been here to be critical of that class. the slap is functions on the country and has filed never to attempt to know this. such a huge on the part of a cost renters is obsolete effective and capable of responding to the legitimate interests an expiration of the resilient populations of this i help just because we're members of the block, the food of medicine supply was cut off. power was also cut in our own funds have

been frozen, so we're consulted with our friends and it's a hell on exiting the block to better the life of our citizens. that we should leave a block that is answerable to the foreign countries. so we're withdrawing our membership from the blog and will never return to the union. missouri on transitional need to has also said the day is if it's countries involvement with that class, i'll consigned to history. john or if it's ready, if the newly formed the alliance of the house announced it's withdrawn from a course, the group in which includes molly, missouri and for jennifer also is blaming that po us. participating from its found in principles of 10 offered tennessee vacuums. f was a boundary to florence, ours, and of abandoning members who try to establish security in their punches on their own left for us, rejected these claims, describing them as ways less. and one stop breaking away will have consequences for regional trades and security. meanwhile, the members of the ally and say it could have raised prospect because of the

authorities on small, flexible structure and even a potential problem for establishing a full fed ration. i call for courage. we must have the courage to take the step of forming a federation between the states of elliptical government charter which constitute the alliance of the states of the health. the alliance could benefit from more direct corporation compared to the complex institutions and collective dream, or because deadlines also wants to treat on economy and monitoring union to get rid of colonial conferences with a proposed single car is the quote. the health currency is a step out of this call nice ation measure, molly and we can have fossil f monitor experts, and at the appropriate time we will decide currency is assigned to sovereignty. and the lines of the hill states are engaged in a process of recovering their total sovereignty. there is no longer any question of our states being the cache count of friends as the hell region. it has been the hot spot of an ongoing when she had this insurgency about the guy in 2003 in 2014

missouri. molly's work in a fossil job in march. any a straight up a g 5. so i have with frank support to save up right balance in the region. but the alliance of the house, they declared the organization ineffective and withdrew the chief pipes. the house was later to solve. it has to be said that after almost 9 years of existence, the g 5 social organization is struggling to achieve its objectives. working at foster and usually air will maintain their dynamic corporation. in particular, within the lines of saw how states to make always the heal in space. however, airport thing says it will continue to pursue dialogue with the alliance in a bit to reverse their decision. so let's see a, b, r t, a border material. there's a base forward assess on the south, told me moon a believe that the steps of the 3 countries all taken to break away from the cost of like told to their independence to me please to see if it is an element of

sovereignty. as long as you don't have your own currency, you're not suffering. and the long time obviously we will move away from the see if a frank, because as we state, we want to be solver in the c, f, a frank is from. it was created in front printed in front. we want to be free from frogs, and therefore from everything that says colonialism including car and c. we are $70000000.00 inhabitants and we want to pay the weight is a bit difficult for the prospect for exciting. because we know that all 3 countries have something special that of african countries downtown in africa need. yeah. has oil, molly has enough goals. these 3 countries can produce over 300 tons of gold again. so i think the prospect's a good. the advantages would be done right away when you're going to break with the old on to the sake of a new or, and its original to you say, well, the issue is that these to highlight lines is discussing today. have a look, sat through the prism of originality, it is totally original. there is no external influence in its vivo. and ukraine

is a direct result of kids pondering to the west spots the diamond project of watches, 12 months. okay. now 12th, he's been taking part in a conference, assessing the past 10 years since the year, and why don qu, in the country to the key for source is orange nationally recognize becker, starting from the modern court. even earlier american and british advisors for seeking the most departments, including the security service and now it has already come in place. no one is surprised by this practice. they sit there and make sure that the money is not stolen, although no one will ever stop to deal with. the situation in ukraine is a good example of what spending the west and the thoughtless desire to fit into the system of political and economic coordinates by any means leads to. as far as we know, the european external actions service has made recommendations for ukraine, which proceed from the fact that it will not be possible to win with the methods that ukraine is currently using. and ukraine will loose. so it's necessary to bet on the transfer of even more long ridge weapons to crank,

so that it can reach the heart of russia while thousands of new theaters from around the globe all set to descend on the russian blacks the result of the assault . she next month, that gathering for the 2024 wild youth festival. how does the events though the us delegation to the press conference of the un, which concerns of a potential ramifications for attending? now it's because 3 american citizens have been charged with espionage for taking part in a different national event, but also in russia back in 2014 on things kind of group and who had c u. s. teams to be used for race. there should be one. jesse novel, penny has no, molly, i should tell i have been indicted by the us department of justice. biden administration has charged them for doing what we're about to do for going to an international conference in russia. this indictment is a huge attack on freedom of speech. a huge attack on freedom of assembly if the

letter of the law as they are trying to enforce it, stands in court. all kinds of international delegations, all kinds of political activism and discipline speech would be rendered illegal. and in light of the indictment, we're already hearing wider calls. there's been calls to indict people for pro palestine demonstrations. there's been calls to indict people for alleged links to china, and they are anxious to start prosecuting individuals who put forward views like the views that we put forward. we oppose war. we want a better relationship with russia and china, and venezuela and all the countries that are currently being sanctioned and attacked by the american government. while we convene the press conference to say that we as american citizens have the right to travel to russia. and we have the right to participate in the world you festival, and that we want to make clear that what biden is doing by prosecuting the who removing it. do you, who are 3 penny has a malia, should tell a and jesse novel,

what they're doing is an for an attack on all americans on our civil liberties. and that we will not be intimidated. and we're looking forward to going to this international gathering and meeting with young people from all over the world because we want to build bridges where we are very concerned. and we've given orientation to the members of our respective organizations about how to prepare for the f b i coming and knocking on their doors. we are prepared for intimidation and it must be opposed. i mean, the african people socialist party, the peoples democratic, you who are removing what they are facing right now in federal court, possibly 15 years in prison, for allegedly acting as for an agent simply because they attended the anti globalization conference in russia in 2014 is an outrages attack and it could open the door to all kinds of suppression of civil liberties. and we've all ready, you know, the trial is set to take place in september, but we've already got calls to prosecute pro palestine active is nancy pelosi said she wants the api. i to look into pro palestine active as we've got calls to

prosecute people for alleged ties to china. this could open the floodgates of all kinds of persecution, of anti war activists and dissidence. and america, in this case, that mainstream us media is largely ignoring, is vitally important via who are 3 and what they are facing is something that should be on the front page of every newspaper, every american and everyone in the world is concerned about civil liberties. to be paying attention to this case and demanding that the vitamin ministration drop the charges immediately they have no right to lecture the world about human rights when they threaten support. a group of people that have been protesting for the rights of african americans in prison for allegedly being russian agents just because they had some web conferences just because they went to a conference just because they publish them articles they, you know, they alleged their spreading rush and propaganda, well, they weren't doing that. they were speaking up and giving their perspective. but even if they were right, according to the american constitution, we can spread whatever kind of propaganda we watch, right? freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to travel the by noon ministrations, efforts to intimidate people like us that are going to be attending this important

gathering. it needs to be a pose, and that's why we were very happy to have the opportunity thanks to the russian mission, to highlight that at the united nations and the lead up to our very important trip . well, that is also signing off for almost go for the solid so. so device needs today in the 4th tape from the top. yeah. what we associate estimate. i'll see you soon. the the the hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle .
