12:00 pm
[000:00:00;00] the, the headlines went off huge rational as you crate and submitted. retreat confirmed with the withdrawal of the troops from the key city of idea of cost of the month. so free as baffled. a president zalinski towards europe, a cap in hand from all finance weapons on the way to israel couple events of washington and a $14000000000.00 aid package. even if the american president seems hopeful, the idea for in stock or new of defendants if in the region and the us the authority is cracking down on an f. b. i. informant who alleged to divide and finally took $10000000.00 in bry storing business dealings in ukraine.
12:01 pm
the right saturday night here at moscow at 8 o'clock and a full program of your own use is set to go. appreciate your company by the way, your grains commander in chief has confirmed his forces on retreating from the key city of idea of kind of this isn't the don't script public you have to project location has in months of relentless baffles with a t s. troops reportedly suffering massive losses based on the operational situation around of data in order to avoid and circle mount and preserve the lives in house of service. and then i decided to withdraw our units from the city and move the defense on more favorable lines. if true, this would be a major development on the front line b. i'm saying if true, because the russian come on is you have to confirm that indeed it's nemesis has retreated from the strategic point. but again, we have seen, we have seen reports and we've talked to men on the ground to our sources on the ground. we have been saying that the fighting indeed has been relentless. and if
12:02 pm
the ukrainian forces have decided to abandon of the day of cause, that would be a major development due to several reasons. first and foremost, it would be a 1st move of this calling on behalf of the ukrainian forces in over a year. in fact, we haven't seen anything of the sort since the withdrawal and pull out over the town of lisa chance can dilute guns. republic uh, back in 2022. now even the, the one of the most bloody is bottles of this conflict. the battle for the city of buck moved not to almost despite all the advice that the god from the nato allies, from please from mothers, sisters, and relatives, just families, friends of those who were there on the bus route, front line, they decided to hold the ground then even then they lost that town, so the decision to pull out of date because something that we haven't seen in quite a while. also at the same time, remember that of dave cut, use literally
12:03 pm
a genetic sub to an unfamiliar person to an unfamiliar person. might not even notice that they already left the nets and ended up day of could. so that's a talent, it's very, very close to this major city. and that was often from where the next civilians were shows. and so if the russian troops managed to push the ukrainian forces further away from of the event that would make the city of the next much safe. and it would be able to finally read a gulf of fresh air, so to speak. because cheap to re shells would be simple, the city would be simply out of range, would cheap all tillery shelves. also, a big thing to look out for is where the front line will basically stretch along which reduce a loan, which, which towns and villages. because right now, it is unclear where exactly view creating and forces prepared the full bath positions. so again, it is uh,
12:04 pm
we are yet to see if the russian troops will just be satisfied with taking the i've did the update of good town because of the rule. there's plenty to be done that there has been k us in the ranks of the crating and forces reported by themselves from leaks videos. uh the last uh, basically the last radio. uh there was radio silence on the positions of many, many units. so many units could maybe they didn't get the come on to withdrawal. maybe they simply were to, in circled, ready to pull out to do that safely. so is, of course, the zillow to be done, to clear of the, of, uh, any presence of you create in forces. that is the task that seems to be in front of the rushing. i'm forces right now, but again, we'll have to see the russian combined. we'll want to capitalize on this and we'll try to push and send ukrainian force is running and fleeing further. hello ukraine's military guys are really is based on verified footage because the sick proves of smoke, right?
12:05 pm
there are rising of a what appears to be a major chemical factory in of the, of the largest coke processing plant of its kind in europe. it's basically used to fuel industrial furnaces, a or ukraine's president who's not being courted by his patrons. of the ongoing munich, a security conference defended the decision to retreat. the lines these claims i was thinking to save lives was actually met with mockery by the russian ministry for an offense. nobody's been with us on the day. i'm not sure who it is important to save our people. this is the most important task for us. if we take care of our people in our warriors, because this is protection and any weapon, we are grateful to all our partners. but any weapon of course, helps restore justice and peace on the territory of ukraine. everyone knows that the military liberties, the territory. the military protects homes, protects people and families. therefore, the decision was correct and so as not to be in circles,
12:06 pm
the decision was made to retreats to other lines from this does not mean that our troops moved for some kilometers and russia took over something. it didn't grab anything. now, morales enough would you know, not because of this because a president and his guy know how to fight tony for big money, which go straight into that pockets and only against civilians. nothing else matches to them. so i don't say, correspondent, why am i you shot, joining us live or the sure to for more details on this might get this me, there's a lot of strong how much are you going around? is the i mean the conference now and the 2nd day? i think those of us, he's racking up some pretty serious, frequent fly miles cap and a hand again, looking for more money. as i said, a to what, what do you, what do you, when you will expectations for the rest of this conference? of course the conference is heavily concentrated on ukraine and the cleaning and presidents ledger zalinski went on and on about how much more money he needs, how many more weapons he needs. now,
12:07 pm
despite all of the billions that were already given to ukraine, i guess it looks like those billions went to weighs since its still asking for more money now, is claiming again, that you quain uh, has a chance to when this conflicts but the catches more support is needed, he also, according to him running out of provided amunition is only helping russia on the battlefield. is interesting, isn't it? i mean, basically, so many military analysts have said it's already lost for the america nato side of its proxy war against rupture and ukraine. they've already lost it, where all these crates of cash going to go and what are we actually going to accomplish? i guess a lot of people are asking that question. what about, what about on good friends in the western states? so what's, what's that main message of munich right now? it looks like western leaders can not really say no to president zalinski. they also went on to praise the train on it's what they call advances on the battlefield . they also went on and on about how russia has yet to achieve its goals on the
12:08 pm
ground. let's take a listen. wait or make no mistake or has already been, and that's her failure. for russia. ukraine has re gained more than half the territory russia occupied at the start of the conflict. thanks in part to a massive supply of american and european weapons. upon the recent $54000000000.00 commitment be made to support ukraine. on top of the more than $100000000.00 are you are pan allies and partners have already dedicated most of the getting rusher on the country. there's nothing cheap, any of its military goals put in, wanted to take care of. in 2 weeks, 2 years later, ukraine liberated more than half of the territories occupied by russia. russia has
12:09 pm
lost control of the western part of the black sea. noticed quite interesting to hear that because i have a few things to point out here. one this morning. ukraine has confirmed that uh its withdraw its troops with sol, solved the town of of d f. the in the been used for public and it's been reported. the key of troops have suffered heavily in this battle. we also have, according to the russian defense ministry, a key of has lost around $400000.00 troops since the start of the special military operation. ukraine seems to be also in desperate need of more weapons from the west, more support. so the question here is, if pressure really is losing in the battlefield, why is ukraine asking for more? why does it need more? it was reported that the queen in the army is facing a quote with a cool deficit of troops. the new york times was also predicted, a quote collapse along the front at some point this year if no western support is
12:10 pm
being provided. the washington post has also highlighted key of man howard deficit . now, i don't know how to was, can help you create when it comes to the manpower deficit, unless it was to go directly into war with russia. but how is russell being defeated when we will have ukranian presidents, the landscape and western leaders who keep on emphasizing how vital you've in ukraine more money and more weapons is you also have the united states that remains at alls with itself on whether to pass a propose financial aid package to clean or not because the republicans and democrats have not still the deal on it. they disagree on that. that is $60000000000.00 in military aid currently on hold for ukraine. for 0 p leaders seem to not be sense of that. and they're essentially telling the united states, well, just do it, just give the package the 2nd listen to your opinion console has approved. unimportant due package of a to,
12:11 pm
to ukraine. and i expect to us to follow suit. this is vital a. but despite all of this talk, let's remind ourselves that western leaders on many occasions have mentioned that they can no longer provide a to claim the sick listed. when i came up with the proposal over the one round a 1000000 rounds artillery initiative for, for ukraine, then it turned out that, you know, our defense industry is not capable. and we don't have enough the war and your credit has, has demonstrated that there are some serious gaps. for instance, when it comes to sustainment. one more thing is to have all the advanced weapon systems, but they need the spare parts and maintenance and the piece, the need, how munition and the beginning of the war and ukraine. we did piece of our stocks, but now they are running quite low. so now we are focusing extremely,
12:12 pm
also very much on how to ramp up production to. so this is a world of contradictions. it seems like with them every day as a new way can in a new phone. decision certainly seems that way, and uninstalled and bug, or seeming a bit more shaky than usual not caused quite his confidence the seems to be in the past couple of years. you know, the end of the day the west is pushing for more weapons. the key it because more weapons of the past, the piece of course. but, you know, with a huge selection coming up this year, the buying white house, they simply kind of admit defeat it politically speaking. they just cannot do that in, in europe where the g d. p is nearly going negative off of a sanctioned russia. they will never be able to admit defeat or the politicians are going to run for the hills before any real truth bottoms come out regarding this. are there any will leaders, mother actually saying no, to more weapons to ukraine? any one actually quoting for peace these days, of course we have china and main, one of course, which had already proposed a piece of plan right. we have built it was through kit, brazil,
12:13 pm
in may of last year. the south african president has mentioned that african leaders have a piece plan ready. we have still back is prime minister who has heavily criticized the amount of weapons, the endless amount of weapons being sent to your grade and has called for efforts to be made for peace. talks we also have india as well, who has called for negotiations and present at the conference was the india's b, g, p national spokesman, and he insisted the dialogue is he, as the issue is you and any other nation needs to ask a specific question, not a simple question, what would it take to stop the war? would it take the pressure to bring both sides on the table, or would it help to supply more guns? that's the question you are any nation taking. any particular site in this particular crisis needs to ask themselves. so interestingly enough, your credit is also speaking to me, china,
12:14 pm
to discuss the piece proposals though the chinese foreign minister says that the conditions are not meant to do this right now. and that's not really surprising. you know, because several countries, including china, has have vocalized that they won't russia to be at the talks to be at the table when talking about negotiations. that is something that he rejects as we know. so how can you bring about peace without one of the parties that is involved in the conflict? especially when we do know that russia is open to negotiate. and we do know that president fortune has definitely made it clear as day. yeah, well i mean, it was not long ago, it was a visit ncp basically dropped this legislation saying no negotiations with russia. so it's proved, inserted in that talk a causing an interview. so let's you have to drop this piece of legislation before we even were allowed to talk about the so, so let's get the end of the day has really backed himself into a corner. here are things that we mind making sure, thank you. but apparently then i, the kingdom is facing is,
12:15 pm
was to anti semitism crisis and 40 years that's according to the community security trust. it's a group which monitors the jewish community in the u. k. the number of violent incidents so, so it's 147 percent according to the charity organization. we understand where you can see the numbers right there. and then the 2 thirds of the attacks occurred in the 3 months following the outbreak of these rarely published in conflict. a $266.00 of them were physical assaults and a situation nobody seems to us. and meanwhile, pro palestinian demonstrate is right there and london described by some u. k. officials as quote hate marches while they are continuing unnoticed. just this month, some $200000.00 protest as much to the capital to the as riley embassy. and such actions were taken to each month since october last year. and the nationwide protests, so some arrested for allegedly displaying anti semitic bond. those around suspicion,
12:16 pm
nope. supporting extremist groups. one of the reason demonstrations in edinburgh, a police officer, us the bystander to hide a star of david symbol so as not to cause but describe the people the closing argument. 7 for us, the well, i meant the classes are prominent the really soon echo he, we double down on his plans to impala police and crack down on protest and anti semitism. one of these measures would not allow people to cover the faces to
12:17 pm
conceal their identity. at the same time, british leaders on holding back on the special treatment towards israel since the outbreak of the conflict that we absolutely support as well as right to defend itself in line with international law. i'm proud to stand with you in his roused august i as your friend views the israel does have the right defend itself. must that within the within internationally managerial should avoid civilian casualties . but we do believe that calling this genocide and take this genocide is the right approach from get a side to leave a case that when it israel responds to terrorism to some people, it automatically becomes via aggressive. we call it expect these rate is to have a 2 state solution with high mass in control of one pulse of what would be kind of start those who sean from the river to the sea arrive is useful idiots who do not understand what they all say was people who wished to wipe the jewish state from
12:18 pm
the map across the mountain j. a creator of my good, i'd be the old, old and it's editor, my god, you know, just listening to research too, and i can, david cameron, i mean, go speaking out of both sides of that mild these days, mazda and didn't you think government officials could have foreseen such a rise in anti semitic incidents and that was a basic question, but stopped with the basic shot we and that's a very good question because i think i'm, i think, you know, hinting at something i do think they could have taught. i know, i think this was really i'm so unprecedented, so completely off the scale. i mean, you haven't seen anything like this really in, in, in contemporary history. you know, i mean, and it's quite right to come to genocide, the numbers now 28000. i'm deb something i've done most of them women and children . you know, they couldn't the full seen the, i think israel onto this right. when coalition government would have gone as far as you know, who as they have done, you know, and i think come, we keep hearing this, you know, is what allows the rest defend it. so i think we're getting sick of that. we know
12:19 pm
we know what that means and that's basically code for israel has the right to carry on with the genocide and, and it comes up in the international court. isn't really gonna have any effect because america controls the court. so um, you know, carry on. yeah. well, i mean, you make a good point, but let's, let's pick a broader perspective here. according to the $0.20 is around $4000000.00 muslims live in the united kingdom. many coming from nations opposed to israel's actions, as you well know, martin. i mean, how honestly made home pragmatic is it for the u. k. to take such as stones on these ready palestinian conflict? i mean, look, you know, any politician needs as votes for it from certain sectors here. it just, i mean like, i'm amazed, frankly at suit x continued position on this to yeah. is that just stuck into this? um, this mindset and um, the only way i can explain it is, you know, when i was a very young journalist, i would hear european colleagues talk about britain being approved of america. i mean, it wasn't reading tiny true. they told me exaggeration didn't,
12:20 pm
but now we become the boot of america. now all phone policy is basically just an extension of the state department and our phone ministers are really just different much you know attached to that department and have to follow the narrative from america every single less of it. you know, for bait some the, this is the consequence of it, you know, just by having 4000000 people for the muslims in the u. k. and having this huge contributions he's missing kind of basis. like, i mean, for example, you know, it's more, it's more just on the muslims that are against that he's not to be muslim to see what's going on. you down to the muslim to see what the is right. let's just the stretch. i'm just going to fall and commit to industry on a site now and the implications of it on global. you know that every single day was seen that and um, so i think so to your question, you know, uh, even though we have 4000000 muslims, i think come, i think we would just to locked in britain is just to locked in to america's foreign policy and, you know, with leaders like so not this is not very much hopefully whatever. going to break
12:21 pm
free of that. yeah. i think, you know, it's, it's a fed comment and then frankly, i totally agree. i wish we have more, more time for this month. and next time you come on, we're definitely going to have more time martin j as a creator of my grade book old. and of course it's chief editor. thank you so much for your time onto the turning now to news from gaza, washington apparently set to send israel more weapons, a $14000000000.00 aid package looming, even as the american president expresses hope's, the idea will not start any new offensive in the region. i don't anticipate. i'm hoping that the israelis will not make any mass of land invasion in the meantime. so it's my expectation that's not going to happen. there has to be a ceasefire temporarily. well, the fact is, israel's not showing any inclination for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, even as you probably know, lashing out at the wells governing body the united nations. this type of
12:22 pm
a reaction offer a top un official set of from us is not a terrorist organization. how much is not the terrorist group for us? of course, as you know, it's a political move, but this is the face of the when an organization that why washes terrorism promotes him us and blames the victims. the one has lost all credibility and you must not believe a word that comes out of it. mister under secretary general, you cannot say that you act in the name of the communitarian affairs. you are a club writer of from us, the united nations brakes and you record low every day. the on the secretary general of the united nations reject the fact that the not to terrorist organization hom us, is a terrorist organization called and age and political movement. and the secretary general of the united nations continues to swell. well, israel earlier to use the u. n. 's agency on relief fund work. so having links with the militant wing of hom, us kind of
12:23 pm
a claim. 12 i own raw stuff. members were connected with the october set time cuz it took the lives of more than a 1000 bits. riley's allegations called several countries including america, to pause a donations to the un agency, the irish minister of foreign affairs and defense. i said that the claims of putting palestinian lives at risk. i was deeply concerned to the number under his key toner, suspended, their funding based navigations against a very small number of staff that have yes to be proven for apartments into your team union. and as we are including the united states, most urgency, resend this decision, and resume funding. harland support remains steadfast. i am happy today to announce the funding of 20 minutes in your report under far as operations in 2024. so can you imagine an ex and foreman for the f. b. i who investigated the biden family's business dealings, and ukraine has been arrested by american auth,
12:24 pm
or because mr. alexander was smarter and office being charged with making quote, a false claim that drove by and that is don hunter accepted $10000000.00 in bribes. republicans have been using the allegations to try and build a case for teaching president by the defendant story to the f. b. i was a fabrication and amalgam of otherwise on remarkable business meetings and contacts that it actually occurred. but at a later date, then he claimed, and for the purpose of pitching, prism on the defendant's services and products, not for discussing bribes to public official one when he was in the office. well, we have the case of alexander smyrna, and this is an individual that according to special counsel, david weiss, he's now being indicted for making a false statement and creating a false and stick tissues record i could face up to 25 years in prison, essentially for providing what they allowed, just balls information to the f b i essentially,
12:25 pm
he came forward then he talks to the guy about the hunter by whose scandal regarding the risk, my holdings right after the 2014 you're making to the son of then vice president joe biden. who's currently the president of the united states? i got hired by a ukranian energy firm called burris my holdings. now he got hired by them and he had no previous experience in the energy industry. and he was paid quite handsomely for his work. the whole thing smacked of corruption to most observers. so it's a ledge that smearing of misrepresented the truth to the the i've and told them that they had that, that they had told him, they hired him to protect us through his dad and all kinds. and from all kinds of problems now they're claiming that this is not an accurate statement. now it's not clear if alexander is near enough deadline, but it's worth pointing out that throughout the donald trump presidency and throughout the, you know, dealings with allegations of trump,
12:26 pm
russia collusion there, all kinds of falls statements that were made. for example, christopher steel. his info is da ca, that claim to prove donald trump was beholden to russia. that's been completely de box. the entire collusion investigation now showed that there was simply no evidence of illusion between trump and russia. and we have a report from the special council investigation saying the basis of that entire story that the media ran with for the 4 years of trumps presidency was not accurate . this is what the ultimate report from the us department of justice had to say about the story of trump. russia collusion completely to box. the special councils investigation did not find that the trump campaign, or any one associated with it, conspired or coordinated with russia and its efforts to influence the 2016 us presidential election. and then there was james clapper, right? james clapper from the office of the director of national intelligence. he went around to other intelligence officials and had them sign
12:27 pm
a letter saying that the 100 buying laptop story was russian. this information and a number of former intelligence officials basically sign this letter urging the american people not to believe the hunter, laptops story that undermines laptop with some kind of fictitious russian propaganda. well, it turned out the 100 by laptop story was indeed real. the laptop existed, the contents of the laptop were not misrepresented. it was a true story, but the intelligence community was mobilized to urge the american public to ignore it. this is all the james clamber, a former director of national intelligence, had to say about that. there was message distortion, all we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be russian does information. so right before the us elections, we had a major scandal related to the family of one of the presidential candidates that we had government officials, former intelligence officials mobilize, do you know, suppressed. and it turned out to be a true story. but now it's appears that throughout the allegations of trump, russia collusion, and throughout the impeachment of donald trump, related to his phone call was the landscape. there was all kinds of false
12:28 pm
statements, all kinds of lying that was done. but at this point, only this, alexander smear knob individual has been charged. so that raises suspicion about the balance of forces in washington dc. and the one sided mess of american justice now onto buying will be testifying before a congressional committee before the end of the month. and that is something that many critics of the binding ministration are very happy about. they are hoping that a 100 buying will be faced with some tough questions about his business dealings with various, my holdings and other corruption that people look at from his laptop and from other reports that have come out. but it appears that there is very selective enforcement of this law regarding lying to the, the i or miss representing the truth to federal investigators and informants of the fact that some or not has been charged. but christopher steel, james clapper, and so many people who said so many false things throughout the trump presidency
12:29 pm
and its aftermath remain at large spacing, no charges. it points to a certain bias and how the laws being enforced. you know, they were allegations that not just the bite and family, but also john kerry and nancy pelosi is kids. reportedly getting business deals with key f right off to the us august. right of 2014 might i include, but by this point, you're just not surprised anymore. i think this is the audience in the i'm action or can see and welcome back to going underground pool. casting all around the world from the u. a. and we're on con, has twice been on this show since going underground. move to the u. a. in those interviews, banned by youtube and available on rumble the over time. prime minister of nuclear . i'm focused on reiterated as evidence for the u. s. role in the stabilizing his
