i use in some way in the west indies. and they asked to be able to find those come fancy, show the ritual rubel live and the rest and capital. you're watching r t international french troops who will find themselves in the line of fire and you train as fully legitimate targets that is the warning from russia's foreign intelligence chief who says paris is now preparing to send the soldiers that to the conflict zone. according to data received by the foreign intelligent service of russia, the contingent to be sent to ukraine is already being prepared. at the initial stage, it will be about 2000 people. the french military fee is that such a significant military unit will not be able to be deployed and courted in ukraine unnoticed. it will become a priority, legitimate targets for attacks by the russian armed forces. for let's

get the details now from our correspondent to minute is short on the president micron has been pitching a deployment of french troops to crane for weeks, but now it seems like it's actually going to happen. now. the russian intelligence service says that the front is blinding, is prepared to send 2000 troops to ukraine. but that is not all they've also added . that price is hiding the truth behind it's getting killed soldiers in ukraine and why they're doing so, of course, is because they're scared that mass protests will erupt. we have to take into consideration that recently france has seen a lot massive and to government protests by the farmers, but also for his president. and not even my call is simply unpopular. but let's take a listen to the statement from the russian for intelligent service. parents not only has carefully hidden the number of losses, but also the very fact of french troop involvement in ukraine. crohn will

eventually have to reveal the ugly truth, but he will try to delay that confession as long as possible. the release of such sensitive data could provoke citizens to protest, especially against the backdrop of massive anti government protests by farm is across the country. and now the french government came out and has denied this information, but you know, back in january they, they've process also denied that the french mercenaries were killed in ukraine. and that is, in spite a list of the names and her information of the soldiers was released from paris, kept on rejecting this information, but still the same day where this information came out. as about 2000 troops, fresh troops being sent to your claim. the french army chief also came out saying that to france, the french army is prepared for quote, toughest engagements to protect is the citizens. now, the question here is,

how are you planning to protect your citizens on the grounds of a different country. but anyway, all of this comes after my call repeatedly stated that france is not going to uh, is not going to roll out any options, essentially hinting that there is a possibility of from sending it strips to ukraine. but. c french president and money on my call, so capital rambling about how he doesn't want escalation, but he keeps on calling his allies a co, and i quote cards essentially, telling them to be on track with his ideas. now let's take a listen to the statement by the french president. it might even a call, maybe at some point it will be necessary to carry out operations locally in order to counter russian forces. frances might is in our ability to do so. we are ready to prepare for any scenario. it would be a mistake not to do so. and now interestingly enough,

he's allies seems to reject this ground. breaking idea is because the white house stated that it will not be sending his trips to ukraine. they have germany who also commented that no european northern nato member would be sending his troops to ukraine. the u. k also stated that it has no plans for a large military deployment to ukraine, and italy also commented that its support does not include its troops on ukrainian territory. now, it seems like france is kind of all alone in this one. but, you know, russia has also repeatedly warned against nato troops, presence in ukraine and the russian president vladimir puts instead himself. he said that a escalation and a direct conflict between nato and uh, russian troops with essentially mean a 3rd world war. and he believes that no one is interested in that, but you know, it's still quite dangerous when you have a leader of an nato country,

basically saying that he will send its troops to ukraine, which would mean that, and that's front the front is a nato member. that would essentially mean a direct conflict between nato and vasa on the ground. now instead of negotiating fresh president in money, i'm a call and just seems like she prefers to escalate things even further concerning indeed our to so mamma is sharla. thank you. the leader of the french patriots political party, florian, flo po, told r t that president my crohn is using the ukraine complex to distract from issues on the home front. and the why doesn't the chrome continue to persist on despite the fact that there are dead and see don't yes, he just throws himself into the pool with his head and runs away from domestic political problems. he has a very weak position before the european parliament collections, and he wants ukraine to be the only topic on the agenda. this is the 1st moment of then who tends to be guided by personal motives and this,

and in an effort to be the most diligence doing what does nato wants to rule? the hawk ball, which has new friends, the baltic states, poland, the czech republic, and others. finland has also been added today. shake perhaps in pursuit of personal thing, not only wants to become the leader of this small coalition that we don't know for sure. but there are a lot of questions goodies, one thing is obvious. this does not contribute to the establishment of the site at the beginning of negotiation so. so this is extremely risky for france external, it is extremely dangerous for the french military, so may die. the city and world peace is also one of the threat when it says this could lead to an aggravation of the situation. you know, you'll read them all. i know that the french are mostly against the meal of now. everyone should express their opinion with all firmness. the french people should say no, and the french military should find a suitable way to do this and give them the european parliament has allegedly decided to limit imports of agricultural produce from ukraine, comes after months of ongoing protests by local farmers across the block. the new

restrictions by the you are expected to deal a serious blow to ki. i was income, and that's expected to result in a revenue loss of more than 1000000000 euros a year for the wall struck country. today's decision doesn't just mean a revenue loss for ukraine. it proves that e u leaders support for ukraine. caves under interest group pressure. what spaces? there's one thing that personally more important to european leaders and to elected officials in this block. then doing whatever it takes for ukraine, and that's preserving your very own rear ends. so the blocks reps apparently reportedly decided to table some limits on block wide free trade that ukraine has been enjoying at the farmers expense. specifically, with respect to poultry turnover, chicken, wheat, eggs, and sugar. so all of this is going to be discussed starting this thursday added to

de european council summit of you national years, which is shaping out to be kind of a class of competing virtue signaling in favor of both ukrainian and use farmers interest. we'll see how that pans out. it turns out that france and poland are on the same page with the ukraine import limits. french president, a menu in my home was just doing his whole not put the on board that passed the routine of threatening to send french troops to fight russia and ukraine. but it seems like his uh, battle of waterloo was actually with french farmers at home, who had been running away at the international agriculture fair in paris. and now, because the payments to friends, farmers are not making it to the farmers on time with farmers still missing up to half of what they're do under the blocks common agriculture policy. meanwhile, polish farmers are blocking the border with ukraine,

and they also decided to hit the other side of the country and it also blocked the board of germany to the blocks. farmers were really set up with heavy handed top down. you're obviously dictated by brussels, with their own governments, adding another layer to that all under the pretext of climate rules. but also they're fed up with unfair competition, of course, from the brain in western back. let's not forget corporate big farming. and it wasn't not going, but they were suffering from unfair competition. they make us follow specific rules and parameters for production that make it impossible. then they allow imports and other products that have been made with all the stuff they don't allow us to use. and like i did, other off of the quality of non e u products does not comply with european regulations. here it costs us twice as much to produce because of salaries loading up your accuracy. and because we produce better quality from other countries, they are sending products without controls and ruining salaries because we cannot

compete. and on top of that, it is affecting us because they are poisoning us. sadly enough, paying for others, it has to be cheap in our way and not under some stupid orders imposed by the u. upset. and so with a big here a p and elections just 3 months away. this is an issue that clearly needs some virtue, signalling of its own on the part of european officials. well, if they don't want to hand even more power, just searching populace parties across the block. now, already last week, some of those same euro deputies were doing that particular dance. the legislation gives the commission the power to take swift action and impose any necessary measures. should there be significant disruptions to the market or to the markets of one or more e u countries due to ukrainian imports? that's a nice sweeping proclamation. it almost seems like a campaign pitch was also happening is that the u has been teasing ukraine with a potential future wedding date. hailey's, if a guy told you now in 2024,

that maybe he'll commit and say 2030, like european council president 70 said recently said of ukraine into ukraine. would you think that maybe you were just the plain? anyway, ukraine has the equally serious response to the you presidential michelle named 2013 at possible target to us. i'll fill the e u enlargement, but we'll do our best for ukraine that it could happen earlier immediately of tele victory will execute our whole book in a very fast way. i believe that it will take us not more than 2 years. so just as soon as we meet russia on the battlefield lake in 2 years at a rate of minus 2 meters of territorial gain a year, you can pop the question. ok? yes, by all means. let's support that. ongoing tre, between you brass and you. frayne. at the expensive really special interests like food, some in the western press over at least support athletes from russia

and beller, is, have been borrowed from participating at the games. opening ceremony this summer in paris. that's according to a statement by the international olympic committee. the hey audience will not participate in the parent parade of delegations teams during the opening ceremony since the individual athletes. but then no paternity will be provided to them to experience the event. this will be this, this is the same scenario that was used for independent olympic participants at the mpeg games in boston learner and 1992 for athletes from the former yugoslavia. secondly, a decision regarding the participation of a i n and the closing ceremony in paris will be taken out to late to stage, taking into consideration that no total teams that enter the closing ceremony, but as more old athletes joining together. sadly, during the victory ceremonies,

the an a and flag will be flown and the a i and i'm from will be played should an a i n, a fleet. when a mental earlier, the international olympic committee slapped or russian and developer, seeing the athletes with a number of restrictions ahead of the paras games only around 40 russian athletes may be allowed to compete under a neutral flag. moscow's olympic committee says it will not void caught the summer event despite all the restrictions. that's, as the olympic committee issued a declaration against the politicization of sports. however, in that very same statement, the organization discouraged allies from participating in the russian hosted world friendship games in september the i o. c claims athletes could be putting themselves at risk by competing in russia. there is reference to what is very clear position relating to these games. we says that is a non sanctioned event. so for us, we would believe that the nazi that would take pots, and that is actually putting table herself at risk mother and you from

a doping point of view, but also from a propaganda point of view. so we would have to look at that very carefully. they are creating huge mass because they're basically saying ok, if you want to go and take part in these games, you might not be allowed to take part in wimbledon, or in the word of that assumptive and so on, so forth. this could cause a huge fracture within sports altogether. this could be, i believe that we could be seen the energy all you'll see as we know us. it could be very, very dangerous. it could be very dangerous for sports in general because of the friendship games which beheld. so of course, as you mentioned, to me here in russia, in september for a couple of weeks to basis. moscow, a new cut to reimburse. the plan isn't to have the winter games and it to take the next games somewhere else. of the all you'll see knows the gigs of they know there's gonna be a huge problem and they don't cache it now. i'm scared to live in daylight, so these people, it'll be all over for them. you know, this is. busy coming against russia, but there's

a number of conflicts happening across the world, including of course, very who high profile, what's happening in gals that with israel's an invasion there right now, but we're not hearing so much about and slides and under a neutral flag or otherwise there's not much to beta, but i will see chips about israel. they will be going to par as they will be competing. i think by keeping is really in there trying to play a one with that all were very good boys is right, aren't so bad. if you're going to have one room in forces, but then we would know that for example, the us and u. k would not have been allowed into subsequent games after the invasion. well, just even a rock alone, 2003. so politics, those come in to us. israel has a much bigger lobby with india, you'll see an even though thomas boss, to present the receipt is a friend. of course, the heat, those little calling the on russia. at this time,

he is fighting for his life and for his job. and i again, like, come back to this could be the last days of, you know, see if they don't guess russia and the, all your nation's world to back down of course, much global sales. but countries around the world, if they don't back down, go see a spanish one point i didn't mentioned there is that the athletes can't even walk in the opening and closing ceremonies under a neutral at fly, which i can't remember ever happening before. overall is this. it's been called by the i will see a for and just the 5 decision is it you're going to be honest with you is simply throwing the baby up with the bathwater. it's wrong, it's silly, but i think that they, they have no, you know, just a complete, you know, mess that they will not be able to know. because if there's a lot of countries who already speak with people um today in different countries from different olympic committees, they are very unhappy with this because they feel that it's, it's not just on fair, but it's also against olympics. there's israel's arrest of journalists may be

a way of hiding what's going on at god says i will see for hospital. those were the words of an elder 0 reporter when asking for a us response to the detention and beating of one of his colleagues at the medical facility. and i bought the she for a hospital the other and go information because that it's a resident happened right before this operation started back to the address to believe that it is a way just to blackout is going on. and she was she file complex. do you have, did you hear from new york? this lady box knows why they are targeting this one. so i'm not going to speak to specific military tactics or assessments or operations from up here. let me just say 2 things. first, president vitamins secretary blank and others have made their points quite clear that civilians at hospitals, medical personnel,

patients must be protected. i will also just note that there is plenty of open source information out there that indicate a mazda is use of many different kinds of civilian institutions, including hospitals to store weapons, to function as command and control centers do a house. it's fighters to over 50 people have been killed and many more detained as idea of forces continue storming the i'll ship a hospital in the north of the enclave. this video footage, released by the i d f and shows it's trips conducting what they call an anti terrorist operation at the side. but the idea of crime is the palestinians. they killed and detained in the raid for terrace. however, according to multiple local reports emerging from the incident, many of them are doctors and journalists. we heard from a local reporter who managed to escape from the medical complex during the reign. name was a man, i'll shoot for medical complex in gaza is under a complete siege from all directions in the cemeteries of the obviously if

a medical complex wearable don't at all costs will destroy the courtyards of the i'll shoot for medical complex where boulder is that and the special this building was targeted with several show water come to drones. and snipers are frightened and believe widespread the course now. so if a medical complex has no electricity or water, the solid power that the medical congress relied on has been destroyed. so the situation is catastrophic in every sense of the warranty. the targeting continues around us if a medical complex for us, how this are being target, because there is no food stores. if the human center in simon has not worse than the alistair scott, there are patients who need ventilator assistance and to ventilate this has been turned off the path to be canadian journalist and political analysts. robert and le cash says israel is deliberately targeting civilians in order to cut up the reality of its brutal raids. when it comes to journalists, israel has killed more journalists than garza during this conflict, then were killed during full of world war 2. and i think that says everything that

needs to be said isn't other than attempt to cover up what is going on on the ground. now that there are not many reporters, of course, people can always attempt to report, but it's very difficult once the equipment is confiscated and in nor randazzo specifically, we don't know everything that's happening because of the murder and the rest of journalists on a mass scale in this conflict of many journalists that i knew in the north, by their move southward have been killed. and so it's very difficult to find out exactly what's happening. how many people were killed in an area, uh, just a few days ago. uh, many posted beans as many as a 100 were killed was waiting for food aid in northern gaza. we didn't know how many were killed until more than a day afterwards, because people couldn't approach the site. and there wasn't any reputable journalist that were there on the ground at that, at that time to go and, and count the bodies were talking about to deliberate targeting of civilians. there is no question about this whatsoever. the descendants of the british empire is

african victims must be compensated by london that's according to nigeria and relative of a man who was in slaved in the 19th century. i feel that is extremely important. that's reparations of pe, the sites are victims and descendants of those victims that way that, that literally way kidnapped. and in sleep there's lots of to mapping lots of small, green people. right. and the simple way, exclusive, vague gore, we reality love them, you know, survive the, the, with the passage, the trans atlantic passage and those that survive lives. a horrible lives new to on the way the backbone on the free label that built. so most of the, in this industrialized nations in the west, right, that me will,

those that were not practicing this name sheet on down land have shares. it's had still, it's the funded the ships going to pick up people the had shares and the plantations, which is why you find that england has a p people that's where sits in my in london was the property was b, maximize i use somewhere in the west indies, and that's a pay them so kind of compensation in the u. k itself, the church of england recently agreed to spend some 100000000 pounds to fight the legacy of slavery investing in businesses led by the sentence of victims. however, a local independent oversight group says the funding needs to be increased tenfold . church officials say that would require co investors to ship them. the church itself was one of the sponsors of the transatlantic slave trade that saw thousands

of africans kidnapped and forced to work on plantations across europe and america, for 2 centuries, as the ancestor was kidnapped, it was kidnapped on the shows on egos, you know, this idea that it's only people that were evictions on the was in the hinterlands. that's my needs to that where traffic know where people are along the course of the people that were just kidding up. so no parts of any organized kind of events or where he was kidnapped anyways. well, he was very fortunate because the vessel that he was put on the bridges squadron, this is around 18181817. which is cord vernon, was actually in the seas. i'm capturing any vessels that were engaged in the now in the goals leave treat. so the vessel was captured and it was really tough to

was taken seriously on. and um, the vi will, is a contract and a survival sol, solved by this. and tap process. the president biden's order to evacuate troops from afghanistan in august. 2021 was catastrophically late as, according to the us house of foreign affairs committee pro into the chaotic withdrawal that saw 13 american service members killed. committee chair republican michael mccaul said the white house was out of touch with reality. our investigation and covered the white house refused to listen to warnings about the situation on the ground. disturbingly, we haven't covered that state department leadership prohibited, prohibit at its employees from even uttering the word neo shorthand for emergency evacuation. until as late as august of 2021 to go to white to us pulled out of afghanistan after 2 decades of

occupation at its peak, washington had more than 100000 soldiers deployed in the country to fight the taliban. but that mission still failed. as the militants swept back into cobbled while american troops are packing up to leave in august 2021. the scores of afghans who had collaborated with us were simply abandoned. some died while trying to cling to airplanes that were taken off from kabul airport. here's a recap of how the situation unfolded. remember the celtic us withdrawal from afghanistan scans phoning to that desk from the pots and plains the deadly stampede. cobble apples. the suicide bombings, killed fetching us service members of the $170.00 civilians. full things to poor planning, leak notes from the white house situation room reveals that the us wasn't ready for

evacuation. just hours before cobble fell to the taliban job. i didn't did not just fail it. withdrawing from afghanistan, he did not have a plan and lied to the american people about it. but policies and veteran members of congress began demanding all skiing, practically begging the administration to begin the evacuation. as soon as paul, i can make the withdrawal announcements in april 2021. we was done bold and ignored while they did it in fury, $180.00 accountability. kalsich planning lead to a classic withdrawal and many lives lost. the wealth policeman should have known that because of the indian political analysts says the congressional hearings expose the biden administration is in fact responsible for the afghanistan withdrawals failings. the total biden administration certainly decided to blame its failure to execute a timely and efficient evacuation on previous policies by the trump administration

there. but as the recent hearing has shown, it was actually entirely due to the faults of the decisions made by the by did administration and the state department. it's more or less what i expected. it's another example of the incredible incompetence of the global american empire. so to speak, which while simultaneously projecting a great sense of power, and even so, going so far as to attempt to present itself as a world, police can't even get its own house in order. let alone manages for and affairs properly. the inability to evacuate countries, its occupying, actually has a long history in the united states. we know that the evacuation of vietnam after it was defeated. there was similarly a, an embarrassment. but the extent of the embarrassment caused by the us is evacuation from august. and i don't think is reversible so called

a sound like resistance forces in a rock. now expect a similar scenario in the country. the head of the iraqi hezbollah security bureau says any legitimate nation of the us presents there will quote, open the gates of hell. well, that comes after iraqi resistance forces suspended their attacks on us spaces in iraq and syria. in january, the decision was made in order to ease tensions as baghdad and washington negotiate a us withdrawal from the country. as the start of the year, a rocky prime minister mohammed and she also don and called washington's presence, the stabilizing, emphasizing of rocks, desire for a quick and orderly exit. here again, is the a political analyst has of being who has doubts on such a possibility. i think that the united states says that ample time to contemplate the a scene of withdrawing, especially since 2021. the iraqi parliament devoted to expel us troops effectively,

the us went out of its way to transform its role as a combat operation. interact to one of an advisory role at the expense of the express will of the iraqi people. so if they didn't get their hands, then i struggled to see how they're going to get the end. now, besides this, of course, the p and that's make some serious moves to ask you late. it's, it's, it's end to expel us troops by force to stay with our to international f. next on cross talk, peter lavelle and his guests discuss the big talk but empty words coming out of europe about ukraine by the the .
