the, the, the breaking news from is involved way as the country expels the us age mission. that's according to the us state departments. it follows more sanctions, the u. s. as in post on the countries, government officials at least 5 people dead in gaza. city, the result of parachute drops of humanitarian aid, a move made necessary by the as rarely blockade of border crossings. also a has one thing was quite clear though. president, i think he's out of touch. us republican lawmakers slammed joe biden state of the union address, which he kicked off by focusing on ukraine instead of burning issues on the homefront. the

live in moscow and rachel ruble. you're watching archie, international and lovely, and authorities have expelled emission of the us agency for international development from the country. the u. s. department of state confirmed the news washington recently impose sanctions on a country's government officials. after removing a number of restrictions from an extensive list imposed over the past 2 decades, are take or respond to it and oliver, you can, guy has more. we understand that the united states has sensors and bothers visit him as a non god bless its 1st lady. and as a government official, the need is within the government on that side for the unless it involves meeting corruption and human rights abuses the non golf. while the president is accused of protecting gold and a diamond mattress who operate is and bob, which directing government official to facilitate the sale of golden diamond in enlisted markets and taking bribes in exchange for she's um,

services among the offences and among other things and all of that has now led to the presence of the united states to sign and executive board of the 10 minutes of them. bob was national emergency and both as involved with specific sensors. and right now we've just got a hold of a statement issued by the united states, stating that the last 2 months as involved with the change and deported officials from the united states of who were in the country to conduct an assessment of governance and democratic reforms. that be knighted, stay save, but this was unjustified and unacceptable. but also the police office has had his homes to respond to these allegations. and this is what they had to say. and bob way takes great exception to gratuitous slander and defamatory remarks by officials of the biden administration, against the sanctions, and bob weigh leadership and its nationals. what adds to the outrage is that these bold and damaging accusations are not backed by any type of evidence. we condemned

these malicious statements as completely uncalled for as defamatory, provocative and as a continuation of wanton hostilities against him, by way, by the us government statement states as well that the government's office in bible has said that it wants to pursue international re engagement and democratic reforms that it's a x is undermine those claims. however, according to the united states of what's also very important is that the census the which will block in the u. s. based property and block any i'm official to travel to the united states. it's replace a border to decade old census program again and bob with what is also very much astounding. is that a b, one of this, the disturbing facts that wisdom countries for all the political brilliance have yet to come to terms with the fact that there will be no reversal of the land reform. and you said to him in program, which is of course the source also this whole predicament and the source of the

imposition of these i'm sense, is that because if you talking about yeah then bob boy and a sanction movement found to return to imagine you're a says the recent restrictions imposed by washington are an attempt to make an example out of zimbabwe. on the defensive report fund, the president pulled up like least react in a c. c with started in russia. of those we just put to save face, the americans look want to look like they are being forced by a small little country to remove these sanctions. those sanctions can be challenged in court because the nation and for those 1011 individuals, we couch those be individuals, people with forced to try. so i believe that they'll send you the put the american to save face so that they don't look like a single hour. that is be forced to remove infection by a 3rd world small country where some countries is never used to consist of applicants is equal partners. they never even considered the applicant. this human beings, as the united states could impose sanctions on civilians and collectively probably

so yes, the international, you know, and the human rights know that they, the americans and europeans created even before i have to go into spending stage of the collective punishment. people by persecution, of united healthcare education or sanctioning institutions that provide service to human beings was always a crime against humanity. at least 5 palestinians were killed during a failed humanitarian. a drop in the north of the enclave of footage. it shows a being distributed by air as people see the same failing power shoots are believed to be behind. the accidents, a drops will become widespread in gaza, mid these fairly blockade at border crossings, blocking trucks with humanitarian deliveries. we spoke on the phone as a journalist, i criminal satari, and rafa who told us, well during the government,

the needs assessment surgery that they will not the ones who are in toggled that and they are not just went to them for the, the, for those jobs to turn to be a lead time, there must be some on me or some story behind that. and they should also be held accountable for doing that. i think organizing the entry or the play into the profession. aerospace is much more complicated than just knowing the text, but i'm from the is that it seems to be continuing what it's doing and the measurement community seems to be very late to hold them accountable for the 3. but i think that's it. a multiple. thank you, pay me to commit them to accept one regular and safe way to deliver the food and the like 30 to apply for the people to products. so the dimensions, the community is coming up with different plans and different approaches, and yet they are paid by that is a need to patient that is not to sunday's bulk of working for any of the initiatives to serve defense. they're going to have to be temporary and who's

suffering exaggerated by that is that need to jump simple in atlanta? i mean solids, a palestinian pediatrician says it's humiliating for both palestinians and the us to be choosing the air drop aid. instead of forcing israel to open existing ground court orders. if you look at the border crossings, you will have hundreds of trucks seen with humanitarian aids awaiting the pen mission of the date. because the in the army to get through and think for a lot of really dying from hung up and got so with no explanation. and certainly there might have states a sense, a suggesting to drop the humanitarian aid from the skies from the plains, which is very humiliating. not only for the palestinians, it's very humiliating for the us. the president might then be unable to,

to make, to get at, at a reasonable, so use and simply by asking is there any dog been the bought the crossings and to lift the many sat in 8th, which has been binding up at the board of dogs for for me that for a few months now, it is a shame axe ready for the civilized countries to allow such situation. to happen of the as israel blocks humanitarian deliveries via the roof of crossing and bombards besieged enclave. the children's vessel has the past of 12000 with the most vulnerable newborns and especially premature babies. most at risk. many have to share incubators, mid extreme shortages of equipment and medicines, ins. awesome children of the enclave have also started to die from now nutrition.

this mothers frequently given birth to underweight babies. this, we don't want to, as we've noticed, that since december, there may be these over normal weight. most of them are from $2.00 to $2.00 and a half kilograms. have stop seeing babies waiting 3 kilograms since october. as there is no an increase in for mother's no meat, eggs, fruit or vegetables that beautiful and um, so the mom who have lost her son due to mel nutrition due to the circumstances were going through in gaza. we live in a school inside of 3 meet or 10 right in front of the toilet that the, what are you expecting for a sick child living in such conditions? how can he get better carpeted? meanwhile, a new maritime route for a deliveries to palestine has been announced by the european commission in partnership with the us and u. e. the new court, or will link the island of cyprus and gaza. but has been criticized as an attempt to divert attention from israel as consistent blocking of assistance to the starved enclave. we know the difficulties faced at the land borders in ga,

that'd be it through the roof of border crossing all through the jordan road. how are you doing? and that is why 2 days that we probably go cypress, the european commission, the united arab emirates of the united states, of course, supported by other critical partners, announced our intent to open the maritime carried on to deliver a much needed additional amounts of humanitarian assistance. bye. see, the cypress is the closest e u member states a gaza with ships able to reach palestinian soil from the islands in around 10 hours. the pilot operation was launched on friday with the you expecting the quarter to be fully open by sunday. the us initiated project intends to build a temporary port and gaza president by them. promise the plan will not involve any american boots on the ground. tonight. i'm directing us military to lead and merge

the mission to establish a temporary peer and the mediterranean on the coast of gosh, i can receive large shipments, trying to water medicine, a temporary shelven. no us boots will be on the ground. a temporary peer will enable a massive increase the amount of mandatory assistance getting you guys every day. the israel has officially welcome to the western maritime rude initiative and it's foreign ministry spokesman says it will boost humanitarian aid deliveries. but he added that it will be implemented only after quote a security check, according to his rarely standards. and the british foreign secretary underlined that can take months to fully set up the plan. the court or federal analyst will lead say, i'm says, chances are high. the new maritime route will aggravate the fate of palestinians rather than improve it. and that's uh the $1000000.00 question. how can such caught it or avoid what has been happening before?

there are 7 crossings that isn't and have direct control of for 6 of them if we want to exclude that of both of which is directly connected with kind of thing as an addictions alone. so it would be more, it would be more easy and more feasible to make sure that this a breach is causing this. but well, to add those 6 crossings the, the ground and it could be done with, is it a, the supervision? i see it must think of the them if of this is done done to improve an enhanced basically publish the image of the americans. they repeat on sundays the eighty's as one and it is unlikely to be effective and on the ground. because even if the medicine, colorado is established, that's the easiest part, the difficult spots would be once the age reaches the soil or the shore, how would that would the distribution be contacted? and who is going to be responsible for that? and there is a kind of speaking and fee of, from such a amount of time, according to that, it could be used eventually as it out to, to transfer,

understands into cyprus, would buy uh, is it a alia goals? uh, that has been uh, numerous have assessments cuz normally the signs of the uh, do you think little cousin, displacing to them for the is a 80. so the substance casa ahead of us presidents annual state of the union address. on thursday evening, several 100 protesters blocked until biden's motorcade as it made its way from the white house to congress. demonstrators are demanding hands off gaza. the footage of protesters unfurling a massive palestinian flag there with a capital emissaries lined to the street from the white house to the capital building, holding signs depicting biden's face and reading genocide, and show and waving that are same to face, joe. and by the legacy as to the side,

capital police forces surrounded the peaceful, proud to hold for a c start, and then in the as really occupation of the well, in the speech itself, president biden was expected to focus on domestic issues like inflation and the border crisis as well as the war in the middle east, but he and expectedly kicked off his address with a nod to ukraine. the, the, the, the more i go home, the

if we stay with ukraine, they provide the, the freight is asking, the

must be honest. the threat to democracy must be defended. the combined as message has been praised by his allies from a house speaker, nancy pelosi says the speech was a master class. the president joe biden state of the union address was a master class, vigorously presenting his bold vision of progress and possibilities for all of america's families. if you look at it objectively, it seems that you know, the big concern here is joe boyd's cognitive capability. and this is always going to be about, you know, how he said things and how you perform much more than what he actually said. it

seems that this was deployed, you know, a choreographed attempt to my job. i'm look, freshest shop is a pin that he was bouncing through the crowd high fiving people like some and then a flight or a pop star. there was a little bit of cringed with. a more interesting is how the pro joe media, if you like, reported on this incredible performance. he's almost a teenager. the guy is, you know, fresh as a daisy the presence delivered. and he delivered huge tonight. i mean, the just me energy, the vision. he was fired up, he was shouting, he was angry, and angry, sometimes has a way of looking energetic, and he really leaned into that. everybody knows if this was a great space, joe biden delivered what has been described in the past so far as, as a feisty, fiery, heated supreme crunch rep. i'm sorry. so you can see, you know, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this message was sort of, you know, let, let's make sure everyone thinks on this is great. joe isn't 81 years old. it

doesn't have any problems. remembering things and never confuse the egyptians. and he is right, and he's, he knows what date is. he knows what we can is making, you know, it's confusing, isn't it makes you disbelieving what you're actually seeing and thinking yourself as so how do you see this media coverage? is it an attempt to convince people that biden's fits a says yeah, well it seems the particularly again, as i say in the pro joe media, there's a lot of correlation to the messaging here. we had people like at tucker carlson at watching this following it in great detail the minute by minute in a live sort of recount. and we've also had americans taking to a social media up to the on to twitter to suggest this car is completely out of touch with reality for the ordinary americans. there's a lot of problems in the united states. 40000000 people living in poverty, families are struggling to get their bills paid. people are struggling to pay their rent as well. so let's have a look at tucker carlson is response and you've got to say she holds a dozen whole back and gives them both barrels in this. and it's quite quite

a tool for sponsoring took across if that was possibly the darkest, most on american speech. ever given by an american president think it wasn't a speech, it was a rant, entirely lacking in decency or generosity to his fellow americans. button quickly explained that actually as top priority has nothing to do with america's top priority is sending billions more to ukraine, not ending the invasion of our own country by drug cartels not are degrading economy. you experience every day that are collapsing schools. there's no explanation of what the goal is here. there's a lie after lie to button doesn't care. there's no upside for you in any of the things that he said, this actually was the republican we're supposed to be address being like, well, it's been predictably, almost english, and it's response. i mean, the republicans have suggested that white is a completely out of touch. mr. trump, of course, came out and said that this was the angriest, most bad humored state of the union address in history that may be the angriest,

least compassionate and worst state of the union speech ever made. was an embarrassment to our country. like so many families across america. my husband, wesley, and i just watch president biden's state of the union address from our living room . and what we saw was the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than i've been alive. the one thing was quite clear though, president biden chess doesn't get it. he's out of touch quite cycling. this a smiling lady delivering the rebuttal of speech on usual. but suppose to take away nicky from a bite and speeches if that's if the only good thing about the speech really was. i mean, he did mention you in ukraine in the speech 1st. the 1st thing he mentioned speak with you kind of course, which is also telling about dividing administrations priorities when they come to the united states as the thing comes 1st. if the only thing boyd and have to do is

not fall off a stage, not forget somebody's name, not make a catastrophic mistake as he's doing and many, many other forms of the century important american speech. and thought was the only thing that it was the real success here is that he didn't make a complete fool himself in many ways. at that says a lot about the state of us politics. us talk to host and commentators, steve knowledge bird told ortiz, unit o'neill that joe biden didn't look or sound presidential during his keynote speech. first of all, he started the speech about 18 minutes late, but he also did something else. at the beginning, he jumped the gun, usually the speaker of the house who sits behind him. during this speech with the vice president, the speaker of the house the announce is officially ladies and gentlemen, the president the united states and they apply it again and then he starts his speech. there was no announcement because the president didn't wait for him to be announced. yeah, ukraine was the,

the opening at topic it is an election. your leaders tend to talk tough at doing that on the ukraine war. i suppose he's good territory for that. what do you think americans were listening in and not stephen, just thinking of who's the minute? is this the state of the union address in care of or in washington? i was shocked that he started basically with ukraine with everything that's going on in the country. when you look at poll after poll after poll of what topics, what issues are most important to voters in all the states that have bought it in the primaries? you had it, right. it's immigration, it's inflation, it's the economy. and it starts with, with ukraine. it was definitely a campaign speech without a doubt, he was combative and, and you know, when he finally got to immigration, 40 minutes into the speech, 40 minutes, the number one issue in america right now. any way to 40 minutes to get to with the

cups of 6 months out or so from the election. now, will this speech willis have helped his re election at shawn says, or by dent of, of donald trump at not being mentioned by the incumbent leader? can he just sit back and watch his numbers rise even even more? know the reference them 13 times or more from what i gather, but he never mentioned them by name book. the media is already saying, wow, funny. this shows he, his age is not an issue. he has the stamina. it was funny. did you tell he was combative he could do it. wow. that's what you know, what? it's more the beginning of march. we got to go to november. a lot of stuff is going to happen to donald trump, to joe biden, to this country, to the world. and i don't think when push comes to shove, this is going to make that much of a difference. the julian assigns has been made

a martyr to free speech despite not having stolen any state secrets, unless the opinion of eleanor show it to form a harvard law school professor who has represented both assange and donald trump. the entire interview with option, which on see on going underground errors on our to the saturday. here's a quick preview. it's hard to use the injustice department of trying to get julian assigned to the united states despite the opposition of will. john lewis all around the world, the australian government, the german government, i understand that you defended daniel's bugs the late den. elizabeth is being on this program. things worse than the 1970s. given what's happening to judy and assigned his health as he was tortured in britain, the going to be you in special are up to it is much worse. i was one of the lawyers on the pentagon papers case, and there at least people were treated with the degree of decency assigned has really been made a horrible martyr to free speech. and i'm honored to have been part of his legal

defense team. and if he is expedited some united states, i hope i can help him avoid prosecution. i think he has a strong case. remember he's off the one who stole any secrets like daniel ellsberg good. he's more like to new york times. he publish them and the new york times wasn't even prosecuted. ellsberg was, but eventually the case was one, but i don't think us on should be prosecuted for publishing material that other people provided to have. the real question is, will we be confined pending a resolution by the grand jury and he's been to find far too long. already i met him in england before he was confined and he seemed to be in far better health and spirits. then he was after he went into the ecuadorian embassy and then confined, and he's likely to be confined in the united states. and that would be too bad. i mean, he comes as close to being a political prisoner as we have had in

a long time in the united states. and so again, i've represented many political prisoners in my life, ranging from nelson mandela to not tundra for ascii. and i'm honored to continue to defend political prisoners of, of, of every stripe and background against depressive government persecution. the ukrainian security services have rated the house of an orthodox of christian cleric after he openly called kids the taurus as off brigade, members, nazis authorities of accused metropolitan arch, priest and forest brodsky, of spreading, quote, russian propaganda. and the kremlin narrative. russia has drawn attention to the case calling at the latest and a string of downs by care of on the canonical ukrainian orthodox church. dozens of priests of interest that over the past 2 years, including the leader of calves oldest monastery. ukrainian problem is now preparing

a bill to ban the traditional church and replace that with a sense of delay, a publicly backed organization known as the orthodox church of ukraine. my colleague michael cox, you got reaction from dublin based journalist jason michael, who compared kids correct down on the church to the actions of the taurus 20th century regime in the whole. what does this say about the state of the country itself? it says that it's modeling model buttons and very similar to the process that we saw happen in the some device in germany, in the 19 se, an effort to buy the state to suppress commandeer at corrupt, uncontrolled, the church. as in an, as an independent voice of critique of the state. this we have seen happen again here in ukraine with an effort to fail clerical goals and possessions in the church with right, when extreme nationalist noises on. yes,

the evidence is there. i'm hoping there for a very long time that the, as all the in particular has demonstrated extreme right wing leanings and is a duty. it's a model obligation of the church to speak truth and to condemn this as an extremely dangerous ideology. we are seeing very similar things happen in palestine at the moment. we see some of the most historic churches in the world being destroyed by our united states all lie in the middle east. i'm religion and religious institutions, particularly when the co opted by the state has become strategic and assets to west of the military power, which has shown itself to be quite aggressive, an expansionist it. and the actually part of the, the 21st century. right. do say with our to international and back in about 30

minutes with much more names by the . the divide administration has words and only words and contradictory words and heads out when it comes to a cease fire. we are told a must enter gaza at the same time, arms flow into israel to hinder the same a car. i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do the have the state department c . i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably going

to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you and your tweets. you often criticize these roles, policies towards the gather, strip. they again for see, on the stand of south africa concerning this issue. now, when do you think we should expect the conflict and, and when we, when i was going to see the 1st results all the area i, c, j meeting. well, we would like to see the content and as soon as possible we will live to see is royal, comply with the provisional measures that have been ordered by the court. that is why was going back to the courts to us for this threatening off of those borders so that.
