4:00 pm
you both. thank you so yeah. all right, so before i go after hearing conversations like this from people like this i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm left thinking that it's really important for us to follow our mission to kind of de, silo the world and just go for the facts. you know, troops don't live in little boxes true to everywhere, and that's what we're trying to achieve here everyday. now for you, i'm rick sanchez. and i'll be looking for you again where we help to provide a direct impact the the haitian prime minister, resigns in widespread gang violence washington ledges to help the island nation despite playing a role in causing its current crisis in the 1st place the the us and europe, the military build up as you weapons in ports, double well arms exports from friend continue to climb and the west
4:01 pm
of lower who raised concerns over the safety of boeing. airplanes has been found dead days after testifying in a major lawsuit against the company the live in the russian capital. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r. t international. the prime minister of haiti as announced his resignation in mid rampant gang violence gripping the caribbean country aureole henri, who is currently in the us territory. a puerto rico says he will de facto remain in office until a new government is formed. i love these yeah. after the council of ministers, tonight's acceptance to put into place a transitional presidential council, the members of the council will be picked after agreement with different sectors of the national life. the government i am running will remove itself immediately after
4:02 pm
the establishment of said council, as they heard that he wants to stay in position until the interim council is set up . this is an interim council that would be comprised of around 7 members. and that within lead the country into the next elections, haiti hasn't had elections since 2016. so they, you've seen this been pretty crucial at this point. we've also heard mean, well from the us, if not more money that it wants to apply in the country. this is to create a multi national security force given this increasingly urgent need. i'm announcing today that the united states department of defense is doubling its approved support for the mission from a $100000000.00 to $200000000.00. and that brings the total us support to $300000000.00 for the separate. and i'm also renouncing additional humanitarian assistance for the people of $8033000000.00 to further support their health and
4:03 pm
food security. well, the announcement is unlikely to go down very well with many haitians who once again, possibly feel that being held hostage by the international community interfering in the internal affairs of the country, hate to use a form of french colony than the u. s. and they did it was that for about 20 years in the early 20th century, and it's been a 2 f, as in so potentially being the power behind the politicians in the country wielding its influence. just to give you an example of that wiki leaks, memos mixed back in 2008, 2009. at the us state department at intervened and stopped there being an increase in minimum wage and haiti a minimum wage that many people desperately needed at the time. just to give you another sense. we've got over here, i'm over here who's saying he's stepping down. the us accused of essentially putting him in power. he was elected when the former president of the country was
4:04 pm
short, he had been appointed prime minister a few days before, but there were others who felt that they would suit just because they had been elected to be the president of hate. one included the senate president who was told by the us, but she should step down and allow on re to takeover. and it wasn't just the us. it was all the western powers. you were paying countries like fox and germany who also urging haiti's to accept somebody. i've said the death who had not been elected. let's just take a look. now, nicky, at some of the other way use the us in particular, has influenced and intervened in hatred. history, the, [000:00:00;00]
4:05 pm
the the hey, is that still missing? isn't it? when you look back and coming back to the situation in haiti at the moment, what exactly a locals saying about the old where you'd expect that they would be happy if there is less violence as a result of this transitional governments coming into place ahead of hopefully elections, but we have already heard from one of haiti's. main. gang bull says, this is jimmy the father to it. she's. yeah. who has said that once again. she's
4:06 pm
unhappy, she says the international community is continuing to essentially a new interest in hate. and she says, if it continues down this current quote, then it will plunge the country into even move chaos. and he is saying that it should be only haitians who decide who runs and what type of governments there is in the country. and that seems to be echoed by people in the crime too. when we talk about caring home, have even done anything for haiti. all haitians need to work together to see if we can save the country. those countries always go to haiti in a situation where we end up finding each other. the kind of com cannot do anything for us. it is like when you run from the rain and end up falling in the mud, the only thing i can say is that aerial henry is out forever. he cannot do anything for us anymore. what you're hearing, that is people saying, look, we want to control our own country. we want to control our own destiny. essentially
4:07 pm
haitians of fed up with being treated by as this thera, calling the of another country, whether that is fronts with about the us or anyone else. they would like to the site that the feature against the backdrop of the escalating violence in haiti and verified video has emerged and is circulating on social media of an alleged haitian, the gang leader engaging in cannibalism. jimmy shows they're also known as barbecue heads. the gang being associated with the video he is notorious in haiti for his power and leisure lane loved the recent violent prison break. in an attempt to over to our prime minister, our real henri, who resigned today the video, has not been independently verified. the reports suggest the footage is actually 2 years old and unconnected to the gang later. and the current unrest. journalist dan cohen called the claims against, was there a massive dis information campaign to discredit him? why are we seeing a sudden this information campaign for training jimmy barbecue shows the a, as
4:08 pm
a cannibal. sure, as the air is trying to turn haiti into a productive and prosperous country that benefits the whole population. the complete opposite of the disturb you that us imperialism has created. we discussed to this gruesome story with daniel shaw, a latin american and caribbean studies expert who says the west stereotype stations and pushes a negative narrative. this contributes to the stigma is the racist stereotypes that has been pushed by the west for so long. we never hear about haiti in the west unless it has to do with the crew disease or some type of chaos. but what the united states media apparatus is never informed us is the us that has innovated and occupied 80 for a greater part of the 20th century. jimmy sherry's here is the top dog, so i'm call him a gang boss. some call him a wall lloyd,
4:09 pm
overwhelmingly. what i've heard from thousands of ations is that they do not trust jimmy barbecue she res year. but i also think that the media treatment assures year has, is not been balanced. um, there are other gang leaders, paramilitary mercenary leaders who have proven to be much more violent, a sinister issue easier. so i think the truth is probably much more di, electrical in the middle somewhere. europe is arming itself as a weapons in ports, nearly double with french and us exports. continuing to rise, serbian president alexander, of which it says, europe's course is one of militarization. what is happening now is madness. they all thought the booting would be easily defeated. now they see that this is not so the current trend is toward total militarization and a 5 full build up in all respects. farms. president
4:10 pm
a measure in my call said that western troops and you frames could not be excluded . he also said that he wanted to maintain strategic ambiguity, also known as bossing, which only actually works if you don't a noun right after the boss that you could be bluffing. but apparently a menu and mac, whole treating the international stage like a local community feed or production and cause playing using it as their goal was enough to inspire a bunch of other european officials to take the safety officer on miles and fire off some belligerent rhetoric. of their own sonya is the soldiers of nato countries are already in ukraine. and i would like to think the ambassadors of those countries that took such a risk, they know who they are. they are replacing. the president did not say that the russians would advance towards odessa of ok of the way i see it. he's preparing public opinion for friends to intervene in this conflict by telling us. and if the
4:11 pm
from to moves towards odessa or kids, what are we going to do? there should be no limits to our intervention. this is how he presents things, but we should not play on the fear of the french. the time of peace is over. the post war era is over. we live in new times in the pre war era. for some of our brothers, this is no longer even the pre will era, but the period of full scale war and it's most cruel version. we cannot continue to feast on illusions. no one will take away all responsibility for fighting for our security and our future. we ourselves are the best guarantor about security and the unity. we need to turbocharged our defense industrial capacity in the next 5 years . and at the heart of this must be one simple principle. europe must spend more, you must spend veterans, and europe must spend europe in europe should strive to develop and manufacture the next generation of battle winning operational capabilities. so what do you do when
4:12 pm
you devastated your own normal economy for ukraine and have nothing to show for us? all you announce that you now self identify as a war time country and attempt to scare up some cash from your tax payers for the transition? sure. work for zalinski, we need to change the paradigm and moving toward the economy mode. this also means that the european defense industry must take more risks with our support. so now what we're seeing is european countries wrapping up defense spending, well at the same time, say that they don't really have any cash. just bear for things like social programs or to sufficiently compensate their own farmers for being screwed over by the use free trade policy. favoring ukraine's farming industry over europe's own. don't like it. well then, do you really, why russian president vladimir putin rolling right up to a left bank freezing cafe in a battle tact because they're talking like that's exactly where he's literally
4:13 pm
going to be. ordering walked off from the mid day menu, if the european tax stairs don't start wrapping their heads around the idea that making weapons is now suddenly europe's big priority. so how's that cell job working on the tax payer's? well, 76 percent of french citizens are against french troops fighting russia and ukraine does, according to a pull from just a few days ago. within the 50 to 64 year age group. that number was markedly higher at 85 percent against. it's all like, even the french establishment is all in lock step on this either from or french. foreign minister, dominique de paul, who warrant washington about the risks of invading a rock 20 years ago. sounds like he's giving a dad lecture. you said you will play out of it would have 1st been necessary for us to be able to answer 5 questions. 5 risks associated with this escalation, who would be taking this step? so if we were to send troops and fighters by for essex,
4:14 pm
while some officials are sounding right now, like they're hosting a tell us on for the european military industrial complex, others, the spin off opportunities for all this war talks in other industries like bunker construction. there was an urgent need to put the commission to bunker's back into operation, and we need to build a new modern shelters in urban centers. underground car, parks, and subway shaft can certainly be used. we are currently seeing this in key of where people are seeking refuge from russian missiles. we also need to plan for such a scenario in germany, not a bad time to resurrect the bunker industry. actually, with energy costs and interest rates becoming a problem for europeans, maybe everyone can just save some money and, and crowd in move in to government funded bunkers and hang out while waiting for pushing the pope's appeal to ukraine to negotiate a peace settlement with russia has met fierce backlash with the head of natal,
4:15 pm
rejecting the call saying increased military support for a cab is the only way to end the conflict. you can find out more about what moscow and cabbage responses to the hopes. comments have been, as well as plenty more. opinions and analysis on our websites, r t dot com. the use sanctions have rained down on russia, but the block is now finding the strategy has been ineffective. the european problem is given the go ahead to criminalize anyone who might help moscow bypass things. sions. the new law sets consistent definitions for violations, including no freezing funds, not respecting travel bonds, arms and ball goes transferring funds to pass and subject to sanctions, or do business with states and entities of countries on the sanction providing financial services or legal advisory services in violation of sanctions will become
4:16 pm
a punishable offense. all right. our correspondent fiorella. isabelle joins me in the studio now to talk more about this fella. can you give us more specifics on where things stand now with the sanctions? so as you just heard, rachel, this is yet another we're time to criminalize those still doing business with moscow. now, the use new directive will actually make it easier for member states to jail and find businesses. and this includes a transferring of money or concealment of transfers of assets that should be frozen, of hiding the true ownership of this property. and it could also be the concealment of what they do is necessary information. now the court will be a forced to sentence individuals to prison for up to 5 years, which seems excessive. now they could also discourage them. these companies from making businesses with any brushing entities by giving them unless find now so far,
4:17 pm
part of it has pledge to sort of specify what the definition of this will be and the penalties because when you're looking at it right now, it seems like it could be applied to anything and that is that the potential danger . now the new law still has yet to be approved by the council. but it does come just after the, you did on least the 13 package of sanctions against russia. and again, it's not just against russia, there were other countries involved in this too recently the, you targeted companies based in china, the u 8 is becca stand, that they were allegedly involved and circumventing these things. it's additionally western countries have frozen $300000000000.00 in assets from the russian central bank. now they're seeking to go after the interest of these assets and rachel, this all rick. so much of desperation because one example that we're also seeing is uh switzerland's attorney general, also opening an investigation into
4:18 pm
a legit violations of russian sanctions by an unnamed company. and this is now the 1st time that's happening. also, austria's ross size and bank, which is huge, and russia is facing this risk to being cut off from the us financial sector just for doing business with russia. if they can find any ties that it's helped rush us military, a corporation, military military in general, according to the u. s. department of treasury. so now the russian foreign ministry spokesman marizza harbor has sort of left off at these m list attempts to really a sanctioned russia that have all failed while the german military is planning to bomb. the crimean bridge, public source in germany is seriously concerned that tons of sanctions have failed to not only break, but even shake the russian economy exp, but economies. benjamin bidder discusses this in the new issue of spiegel. let me
4:19 pm
remind you that it was the 10th year of russia's economy being torn to shreds as brock obama put it. so if you're a given all the sanctions a has been here to on russia today to remind us of how the economy and russia is doing well, rates of the economy seems to be doing pretty well according to all of the system and studies. i mean, this has been to no avail, rest of the economy has moved forward despite every single attempt at targeting it . now even the economist, a u. k. outlet had said that moscow has actually defied the nay sayers and added that the economics performance of russia appears to actually have returned to a pre conflict levels. basically, of course, showing that these things since haven't worked for the us and or allies even you on must have something very similar saying that a washington's attempt have backfired and actually made russia stronger. and these
4:20 pm
options. and so one huge thing that we have to point out that is happening for russia, apart from the economic expansion eastward, apart from its new development of bilateral relationships with this multi puller world, we're talking about the energy sector where russia is succeeding and the hon. gary informed minister actually just met in budapest with the general director of ross adam. and they're working on this new a reactors. we're hungry path to nuclear power plant, which will actually help hungry become self sufficient. and this is actually shows that having a relationship with russia is actually beneficial to these countries and has actually provided them a step for the project is allegedly unfolding as it should and will begin the cornerstone of pouring the 1st batch of cement in the concrete. it's the batch of concrete. by the end of 2024. i was i wanted you to solve your opinion in global energy crises of the past periods have clearly shown that countries that can
4:21 pm
produce the energy they need themselves are safe. therefore, in order to increase henry's energy security, it needs to increase its own energy production capacity. we are proud that a truly large international project is being implemented in pucks. because in addition to the russian general contract or shock, the chain of sub contractors includes french, austrian, swedish, and american companies. in addition to the german company, engaged in soil consolidation levels come part us. it also for us at home state corporation, that's where this project has a special significance. so there was always a special attitude here. so the project contains a number of challenges. but as you know, we are influenced here by the regulation of not only hun, gary, and, but also european legislation. we have our own commitments in particular that this project should be international. i mean, we always fulfilled our obligations, but i just find the all the difficulties. the package project is a pleasure. we will release the complex. so while you're looking at the energy sector in hungary and russia,
4:22 pm
be going on extremely well used to be opposite going on in europe with so many protests going on because of the increase of costs and gas and energy. and rachel, that doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon. and it also doesn't look like these sanctions will and in spite of their failures. mm hm. yeah. r t correspondents here all as well. thank you. the former bowling employee who blew the whistle about safety concerns are with the companies. airplanes has been found dead. john barnett reportedly died of a self inflicted wounds just days after giving testimony and a major lawsuit against the company or take or respond to donald quarter. and gave us the details of the case the circumstances surrounding the death of this whistle blower john barnett are quite strain. she was found dead in his truck just shortly after. he was supposed to attend an important interview. connected to the law suit . he filed against the following company. the coroner said that he died as a result of a self inflicted wounds, even though in days prior,
4:23 pm
he was actively collecting evidence to bring to the court. because according to barnett, the boeing company has been pressuring its workers into integrating a defective parts into its aircraft with single, as well as in charles, pushing by dfcs store suppliers. and what that meant was, i'd say a group of inspectors and actually go to the supplier and inspector product before they send it in. well, i'd say you can obtain before inspectors. spirit arrows systems to inspect the 41 section before they send its charles. and we found $300.00 defects. some of them were significant that needed engineering intervention. when i return to charleston, my senior manager told me weird, found so many defects. and he was going to take the next trip. so the an extra or you went to meet. so 2 of my inspectors and when they got back they were given accolades on his line and 50 dfcs. so hold on a specter side, that's a good spirit,
4:24 pm
really clean up director squared. don't sound right. and she was mad, she said no. so the 2 inspectors were given 2 hours to inspect the whole $41.00 section never kicked out there on this all comes after a number of recent dangerous technical failures associated with boeing planes on sunday. 50 people were injured during a mid flight technical emergency aboard a boeing triple 7 headed to brazil, a friday saw a boeing 737 max, a plane run right off the runway in houston, texas. and on monday dozens of people were injured. as a result of an accident on another, boeing $737.00 plane again, due to technical problems. and this is just to name a few of many actual technical emergencies that happened to associating associated with boeing plains. just last week. there were others connected to tyre falling off the plane, an engine caught on fire and even a failure of the plains control system. and it's even lead at least one travel a search engine, kayak,
4:25 pm
to start helping it's users avoid boeing planes altogether. cool. yeah. makes it easy for consent travelers to avoid 737 max flights. we've increased the prominence of the max fuel to on site airlines, the open substitute equipment. so travelers should double check before departure. on top of that, the new york times recently published an article showing that boeing's 737 max plane had failed. 33 audits conducted by the federal aviation administration. apparently, there were dozens of problems with the production process, but this isn't actually the 1st time that boeing's production line has received negative attention back in 2014 out, 0, conducted its own independent investigation into the matter. and it found that work or is that boeing's production plants have serious concerns about the safety of
4:26 pm
these planes. the or 15 work is almost randomly. 10 said they would not fly on the dreamliner. the 1st part, boeing denies any wrong doing. but with this mountain of problems associated with its aircraft in the untimely death of this key. what's the blower? there's no doubt the boeing company has a lot of explaining to do. my colleague nick aaron discussed to the controversy surrounding boeing earlier with show the luxury and ation expert and geo political analyst who says the claims are not baseless. it is true that there are a lot of whistle blowers in deviation industry, which is drowned, is that john barnett was going through the 3rd days of his edition on the $21.00 program, which is the american program. but it's supposed to cover the american whistle blowers on the, on the heavy issue of industry in the us. now, it's not
4:27 pm
a secret that full manufacturers. they have problems that the problem is that we hear too much about boeing's, actually the 737 max for the big problem still have flows. it's due for them to fly in russian federation for example. and if you listen to the news, you can hear about it almost every weeks. the 787, it's all sort of the same thing and is being brought to lights. it's being brought into daylights also. but in boeing factory, the manufacturer, they have a process or something that i'm not done correctly. and they just covered some flows in the design of the problem by itself that would require a lot of maintenance and correction system. so it's, it's linked dose of the money because any ition is money. and if you have to run the complete seat of one model to restore the system and correct the flows and the
4:28 pm
l. and i'm not going to be able to use them. so for boeing and in regard to the competition between boeing and albus, it's a, it's a huge, huge problem. so when it comes to the accusations being made by a boeing isn't even age ation, experts do using that highly likely to be legitimate. yes, it is legitimate, of course it is legitimate making mistakes. it's not on the boeing. i mean, we hear about boeing because actually gets boeing. but at this we have some problems. also, we haven't been able to recover some uh for those problems. boeing is promptly, it's so much more complicated. let me the, the boeing, the 737 max is one that comes up by law, isn't it? when it comes to complaints and criticisms? and a lot of, and we, we know whistle blowers coming forward with stories. now a lot of people might be reading these stories and say, well, i'm not going to use that particular model of play. do you think that i'm just having these stories out that will have an impact on the reputation of borrowing?
4:29 pm
could be at least uh, as a pilot myself, i'm sorry to say this, but i as a pay up myself, i don't fly on the max. i don't want to say that's enough to make me know the thing. so i mean, if, if it can be very honest, yes, if i can avoid, of course you create in forces attempted to cross the russian border and the curse scanned the builder on boarder regence, that's according to the russian defense ministry, which said the attack was thwarted and resulted in ukraine losing 7 tanks and more than $200.00 troops or what, what was it got sold them? that's around 3 am. off to the intense shilling of civilian targets. ukrainian terrace groups supported by tank sonoma calls trying to enter russian territory from free directions around the settlements of halting road. both come and talk of region, a nickel till you have come in spelled every if she knowing the bell broad region. thanks to the coverage of russian troops or taxed by ukrainian terrace groups, helping facilitate little the enemy was hit by a vision. miss
4:30 pm
o artillery and heavy flame throw systems, ukrainian minutes and suffered heavy losses. according to the russian defense ministry, as the russian border was not infiltrated beyond that point. now also on tuesday morning at least the 4 ukrainian attacks were repelled in the cursed region. according to the defense ministry, the craniums were once again forced to retreat, suffering heavy losses and equipments and manpower. russia used aviation, artillery and missile forces to protect the countries borders. prussian federal secured the service also reported. that's ukrainians tablets. tours quite to infiltrate belgrade and cursed regions since sunday. the situation this week was a reminiscence of what happens last year when you cranium. service groups were able to kill civilians in bronze and in the grid regions. but it looks like the situation on the border. there is under complete control and is now impossible to
