the, the us house of representatives approves a $95000000000.00 aid package to israel, taiwan, and ukraine. but the latter getting 60000000000 the more than half of house republicans opposed to move say the us, canada is really soldiers, subject innocent civilians to torture and sexual abuse. that's according to the latest reports of the un refugee agency for palestine that released some harrowing testimonies of survivors. and it is a 3 of general elections in india that will be held for the next 6 weeks for bring you our special indian election coverage as people across the country cost. they're both the

i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching r t international us house of representatives has approved spending in excess of $60000000000.00 to keep the ukraine conflict going. notably, however, most republican congress members voted against the bill, which had been deadlocked on capitol hill and its previous iteration for months. russia's foreign ministry spokesman slammed with emotion st. it's, and other pass bills will only fuel more unnecessary violence around the world. in the us allocation of motor a to a crane is rolling, tie one will aggravate global crisis mailed to 8. so the key of regime is the direct sponsorship of terrorist activities. males for a to tie, one is the name to syrians in china's into and the list says measure a to israel is a direct path to an unprecedented escalation in the region. so the us house of representatives after months of gridlock has finally passed the

a deal to ukraine. 61 b. ready in dollars now all amendments and there were some rather creative amendments that were proposed. all the amendments to the bill were rejected and the bill passed now it's been passed with the intent to rebuild arsenals. there was $95000000000.00 in total that was given for $4.00 and $8.00 is they separated. the ukraine aid, the taiwan aid and the aid israel. mike johnson, who became the republican speaker of the house of representatives, had pledged, unlike his predecessor that he would not bring this bill up. you would not bring it to about. but he changed his mind. and i guess on the terms that this was alone, he was okay to go along with it not. busy democrats voted against the bill and, but the majority of republican congress members did. that's quite a divide when it came to grant. and there was a lot of outrage from, from republican members of congress. they felt that this was not in the united

states entry is now leading. the charge was marjorie taylor green, the representative of georgia, and she was seconded by many members of her party. rather intense speeches were given prior to the voting. you see the united states tax payers already sent $113000000000.00 to ukraine. and a lot of that money is on, accounted for you. claim is not a member of nato, but the most important thing due here in washington dc is though we have to spend americans harder and tax dollars over to ukraine a keep the money going to continue to murder ukrainians. wipe out an entire generation of ukrainian man, 2 and a half years end of this war. we still don't know what success looks like. is it cry me a, is it all of the don't boss is a hold what you got? we don't know. we just can't afford it. this new spending. $60000000000.00 is designated as emergency spending. mean it go, meaning it goes straight to our national debt. a national debt that grows every

single 2nd to the tune of $8000000000.00 every single day. and by the way, while i was speaking, we have added another $5500000.00 to the national debt. now the previous speaker of the house kevin mccarthy was ousted when he made what man described as a secret or back room deal to try and go forward with funding for ukraine. and now thomas massey and marjorie taylor green to outspoken republicans who opposed a due crane say they want the same thing to happen to mike johnson. they, they say he was replaced a, he replaced kevin mccarthy and was brought into office to oppose this kind of deal . he made this kind of deal and they want him, alistair, so we shall see what happens next. i'm concerned that the speakers kind of deal with the democrats of fund for mores rather than to secure our board or how did a bill that was intended for veterans that came out of the house become

a bill that may bring us to the brink of war at least 3 places on the globe by sending a $100000000000.00 to military contractors. how if you creating officials reacted to the bill being passed, the ukrainian president has already responded in kind with great thanks. he personally banked speaker of the house mike johnson for making the deal that he promised not to make um we add a message from zelinski that might have online. but let's also recall a statement made by the grant me and president a few days prior. so what i but as we suggest that this is not a security issue, then this is pure politics and to be honest, it is a shameful. the world is just a shameful democracy for everyone who owns it, talks about democracy. well, if congress takes and divides the size of to all, that has happened to entries rather than do credit in parts. and that means this is an election issue in the united states. now 23200000000 of the a will be used to restock ukrainian weaponry. 11.3000000000 of the aid will be

provided for the training of ukrainian troops by the united states. and $61000000000.00 in total has been allocated by the us congress to provide to ukraine to continue the conflicts at this point. uh, there's a lot of anger on the republican side. there's a lot of, uh, and you're on the democratic side, the took so long. uh, and it appears american politics is much more polarized than it has been in quite some time. the very big disagreements about u. s. foreign policy and how american taxpayer money ought to be spent. but we got reaction to the vote in congress from political analyst and filmmakers. sean stone, he says, is disturbing to see so much us tax payers money. going to pop up ukraine's war effort, especially after president zalinski his term expires next month, recently refused to hold a democratic election. there's the notion,

there's the argument that can be made that because you create is in a time of, of crisis that they don't need to hold elections. um, you know, that they have to, they're basically they're trying to, there's a narrative that ukraine is fighting for its survival. and so in these times there's no, they don't have the, the, the ability to really held a fair election because of this crisis. and that's the mainstream argument of the us perspective. i can't imagine that democracy is really concerned about it for, for why the aid needs to happen and why we have to support the, you know, the ukrainian side, let's say of the war a believe that the interest of course in the us is, is multi volts. the same way that us had been interested in ukraine for decades, going back to the break up of the soviet union in the united states. interest of, basically all of the former soviet states is trying to, you know, basically let's say bring them more into the dollars zone,

or at least into the euro zone, economically. trying to basically create more economic spheres of influence. countries like ukraine, obviously have a they have they, they don't us, they have much industry, a lot of industry has been stripped, but they certainly have, you know, have resources, they have their bread basket, they have oil and gas. these are major factors, right? why the us wants to do happen to this fear. let's say it's fear of influence. so um, i would suggest that it has much more to do with the re apology. then it does with the ideals like, uh, democracy versus what's out there. and as though all the democrats voted for ukraine, a, they also faced the divisions as some of the law makers voted against a to israel and expressed anger over the bill. all of us have seen the tragedy of gaza and we have seen how prime minister netanyahu, whose government has use american weapons to kill indiscriminately, to force famine over 25000 women and children

dead. tens of thousands of, of missiles and bombs levied on innocent civilians. and when we see it, we have to decide what we're going to do about it. are we going to participate in that carnage or not? i choose not to prime minister netanyahu has been reckless. his actions have not led to the release of the remaining hostages. he's ignored the police of the families of hostages. he's ignored the police of the president of the united states . he's ignored his own people. now who doesn't support the united states position of a 2 state solution for peace? he doesn't respect urges now to invade rafa. he disputes with the us in a groups upset about famine taking over in gaza and he launched attack and i ran after the white house told him not to if he's not listening to us on matters of international security, how can he be trusted with more offensive weapons,

enough is enough. political analysts sod, numerous says it is us policy to push for a complex around the world. in this is not just a or giving you know before or something, but rather to wage wars model wars and was brothers. old on around. these are the policies of the united states, a or the time that they create problems all over the world. and they are strange to age. and these, um, you know, what parts of the world to a gauge in wars that gives you more and more of is f all the humans the rest of the community are still taking action? yeah, i mean i've, i've seen this stuff going on with the concern expressed up on saturday on there. but the, i'm updating any kind of measures, you know, just stuff describe the floor as a catalyst of doors. you want that. they can't dig in, you know,

orders the shows and the like nations, but also they kind of stopped citizenship with the account. michael is where they can eliminate some of the agreements where these are the can do is if you are really serious in studying this genocide, go on and get a hold on please a so far as they are doing that, i do believe that the order go wrong here is a way to them that and you go wrong, as many guys in civilians have been subjected to brutal abuse, allegedly including sexual violence and torture. wallen is really military detention . that's according to a new report from the un refugee agency for palestine, which has released some harrowing testimonies of survivors. detainees reported ill treatment during the different stages of the detention release. detainees included men and women, children, older persons, persons with disabilities,

and the injured in sick, all of whom were subjected to similar forms of ill treatment. a message of ill treatment reported by dead chinese included physical beatings, threats of physical hum, insults and humiliation. such as being made to act like animals or getting your engaged on use of loud music, a noise, the provision of water, food, sleep, and toilets. denial of the right to pray and prolonged use of tightly locked 10 cups causing open wounds and friction injuries. the report says more than 1500 detainees were documented as released through the care of a boost alum crossing point with israel. that includes $43.00 children and $84.00 women. detainees said all their items were confiscated, including documents and money, and generally not returned the head of the palestinian commission on prisoners brand of the situation catastrophic in the general. and the crimes being committed

by the occupation against her people are unprecedented. and so are the ones against our prisoners. we're dealing with a new version of the occupying state, whether it's new vision and strategies. this means that we're facing a new era of struggle with this occupation. this state that is led by a group of terrors, fascist horror, not ashamed or afraid of anyone in their legislation, officers of crimes, with any form of killing destruction, bomb and starvation and siege orth. what's the prisoner's face? inside the occupations presence of mind, they made me sit on something like a hot metal sick and have felt like fire have burns. the soul just hit me with their shows on my chest and use something like a metal stick that had a small nail in the side. they also still drink from the toilet and made the docs to attack us. there were people who were detained and killed. maybe 9 of them, one of them died after they put the electric stick up his anus. he got so sick with a warms coming out of his body and then he died. the us, the soldiers displayed on me saying she's a, she's from gaza. they would bid in us as we moved and saying they would put 5

owners sensitive parts. they pulled us beat us. they took us into boss to the dame and present up to 5 base male soldiers to golf. or i had jobs and they pinched us. and touched all bodies including our breasts. we were blindfolded and we were feeling them touching us, pushing our hats to the bus. we started to squeeze together to try to protect ourselves from detection. they said they told the soldiers to take all their shoes and slip or spaces with them. a hospital in the southern, most dogs in the city of rafa is now treating palestinians released by these really defense forces. children are among those with parents signs of torture. a group of 150 detainees, return to the gaza on monday to the care. i'm shall, i'm crossing with israel. they've been speaking out about the alleged abuse. they separate at the hands of the id s on the inside the prison. my legs got infected. i asked to be hospitalized, but these relays were stalling. finally,

my legs swelled up a lot and turned to blue. i underwent 2 surgeries to clean up my leg, but to no avail. at she by medical center, they said my leg must be amputated because my life was in danger. i was treated very badly all the time. i spent 50 days there, but it felt like 50 years. whitfield has these childs made to be shot at imprisoned and tortured. what full has he made these unarmed, and he isn't the member of mazda for is i'm and you had felt seen, and children were denied leaving their child suits. where are the human rights organizations? on all way to preexisting we were beaten and tortured inside the prison were also talking shirts will not allow to speak or move. otherwise they punished us by spraying us with gas or releasing dogs on us every 3 days. they would release the dogs out of the prison. this beat us costly and the randomly were leaving. and how

doing the 50 days response and present all the prisoners and wants it to be released. they want it either to be does all release, but never to stay in prison. as a phase, one of the indian general elections ends with the 68 percent turn out the country is preparing for the next phase in less than a week. polls are being held in 7 stages over the next 6 weeks. we're bringing us special coverage of the major event the so this year india has nearly $1000000000.00 eligible voters. that's more than 10 percent of the world's population. the election wraps up on june 1st with the results to be announced 3 days later on friday voting took place across $21.00 states of india. the large scale election requires more than

a 1000000 polling boots and over 15000000 workers to oversee it all building is taking place in many remote areas. so some pulling machines must be carried there on forces. and even elephants, voters have indelible ink apply that to their index fingers. that method used to avoid fraud. the world's most elevated pulling boost is located as far up as 4650 meters in the himalayan mountains. to main coalitions are competing for control of the countries parliament and prime ministers post the national democratic alliance, comprised of 38 parties as led by the ruling bahati as an opposite party and incumbent premier and render mowdy. now on the other side is the indian national development inclusive alliance, consisting of 26 opposition parties. that block is led by the indian national congress party, with the group spearheaded by russell guntee. you spoke with indian journalist a big on the progress. she says, the opposition hasn't addressed issues that concerns citizens in a comprehensive way, a medium of procedure. very,

very important. but it's vibrancy, far as far as mazda political speed used to come out, it's very important that the percentage of pulling is high or not, and goes up, you know, so 60 percent is a good average, but it's gotta easily be added by 20 percent more as the election's progress, so we left the track searches and sees it as a higher average of who we are of of a different guns. easy was i just don't see a lot of people who pretend and most of the big news and politics. and these are generally elections, the countries elections, so i, i'm a firm believer and i've been seeing this in seminars and docs for years and years that in india because of the diversity they should for is be a higher percentage of all things. a very of an election not been doing, not seeing the unified opposition, which everyone wanted to see a new hopes that it would be the presence of the allies. it's not happening so

naturally in, you know, you would, uh, it will be made. that means that space naturally floating it even more and that is the atmosphere at the moment. the magnitude of questioning of new opposition has not been convincing. these and this done in this government, i can get into a long history. this is television program, but he was got brings of collapse and my mother didn't government have come in because people got good news and certain issues opposition has that. has that responsibility to means 0. it is 6. seems to convince. yeah, there are serious problems as far as economy is concerned, unemployment is concerned. i'm these problems have not been adequately comprehensive lead in a unified we highlighted by the opposition. we are closely watch movies as unfolding in india as hundreds of millions of citizens take to the pools to choose

their next leaders and always said to our website, our t. com for the full schedule of the election as well as more details and analysis of the ongoing votes. ron's retaliatory strike on israel left most states in different, but despite the fact that retaliation did not cause any civilian casualties. unlike the is rarely striking on a ron's consulate earlier, several countries quickly condemned ronda actions, including the british prime minister. we have condemned your wrongs reckless and dangerous biology of missiles against it's right on site today and is wrong absolutely has the right to self defense. but as i said, the problem is that netanyahu, when i spoke to him last week, and more generally, significant escalation is not in any one's interest. what we want to see is called as profile. across the region. strong was in the british prime minister when it comes to around to tell you a 3 strikes which cause no casualties. but when it comes to is always attack on the writing and culture in damascus, which 16 were killed,

stony silence. turner on 5 hundreds of drugs that can be solved in response to the attack on its diplomatic mission with many say not on has the right to defend itself. turning the words of the west when it comes to israel back against them. but despite giving 3 days notice of the impending attack, which the united states denies the collective west as lined up to condemn or on the attack on these really territory, but a wrong launched tonight is justifiable and highly irresponsible. canada unequivocally condemned that runs airborne attacks against israel and the arabian regimes disregard for peace and stability in the region. i condemn in the strongest terms the unprecedented attack launched by a round against israel, which threatens to destabilize the region, but the reaction from prisons and elected form. and as the north, david cameron has led to charges of hypocrisy. and in exchange with scott and use or pull to kill you bully. the form up i minnesota described arrives at tops. i've

reckless. while conceding the prism would respond with a strong action. if one of his own contracts was attacked with britain j, the hostile nation flattened one of our confidence. well, we would take i, we would take the survey stroll actually around would say that that's what that is . but what late it, as i said, was a massive attack. so right to response that they as a reaction is what we also what i'm saying now the transit time the attacks they carried, i was on a very large scale, much bigger than the people excited to respond. what countries have rights to respond when they feel they've suffered an aggression of course they do, but look at the scan of that response. have those weapons, nothing show that on. but this one reads that could have been sizes of casualties including southern and gosh, he even went to israel to express his sort of genres he with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the situation is very concerning. it's right to show solidarity with israel. it's right to have made of use clear about what should happen next,

but it's clear these rate is all making a decision to act. we hope they do. so the ways it does as little to escalate this as possible. and in a way that, as i said yesterday, is, is small off is whether it's tough concern. he may be what it says, as well as actions, the escalating tensions in the region. in fact, up until now around his showed great restraint despite, as well as fascinating degree a scientist inside the country, allegedly eating the us and it targets it. kidding. a general cas, i'm saying tamani. don't any drug strikes and faces in the code this time region of iraq? i'm frequent attacks against variety and forces in syria. by contrast, brought them itself as responded harshly, often without justification or explanation, the country going strikes to get so who sees in yemen? in response to the goods actions guys ships in the red sea, which they, he said was because of the is radio and salting gulls. a president also by

washington in february, when the 85 targets was struck, was the us claimed when linked to the revolution, the gold coal designated a foreign terrorist organization in 2019 the white house claimed it was our students to an attack or to us base on the board with say, reward jordan. kidding. 3 soldiers which it blamed on around britain was happy to agree the you can't and you as us debt foster lice. wouldn't comment on that durations, but we support the ride to respond to attacks. we have long come down to runs to stabilize and activities throughout the region, including its political, financial, and interest support to a number of mates in groups or some type of procedures. nothing you back in 2018 north dakota night. it strikes to guide syria, claiming without the evidence, it was necessary to further prevent the use of chemical weapons in the country. so need your response, which is what is the escalated tensions in the region. so then the prime minister

to reset my false to just if i have options in the house of commons, i deny us pressure. so we have not done this because president from aust has to do so we have done it because we believed it was the right thing to do. and we all know washington has received a pump. it's a popular thing, as well as it filed to speak accounts over as well as striking the writing, the an embassy in damascus, or taking a very different approach to equity. it was re, some action, i guess, the mexican embassy. you're pretty quick into, you know, in dumbing the, you know, invasion, the mexican embassy in the, in an act that was a very clear, well established, m z. not very familiar with the what the, this is something that is taking a little bit more time when you guys are mapping to them. but that's not the question. so breton, i'm washington. i able to strike it will without any consequences. well as well. has the right to defend itself, it's any cost. but for a rob, it's

a case of do as i say, not as i do. people in zambia phase, so cute hunger as the worst and trout in the history of the country hits the region . so it'd be as president as appealed for health and a tele based address. as you know, that would be as experience extremely low rating for this. yet, culminating in the west jobs, the country has experiences wrecked was begun with a heavy heart. and on behalf of our government and to be what was on you here by appeal to the international community, our partners within the country, the private sector, the church didn't, did civil society organizations to support our plans financially and materially mitigating the devastating effects of disrupt zambia says that needs more than $900000000.00 to deal with the natural disaster that struck the country in february

this year. so far zambia has collected only $51000000.00 of the needed some. the drought has made harvesting of more than 2 thirds of crops impossible prompts such as corn are the main products of them being exports. as a result, more than 6000000 champions are already in dire need of humanitarian assistance. meanwhile, the us house of representatives has passed and $95000000000.00 aid package to different countries with more than $60000000000.00 those dollars for ukraine over $26000000000.00 for it israel. and for taiwan to receive more than 8000000000 years, president obama has supported the legislation saying to us won't let a ron and rush to succeed. we spoke to economists, trevor hum, buy a. he says, a lot of resources have been going into funding wars rather than dealing with global issues that threaten the human existence as a whole. technically speaking, you said, obviously this is a very, very difficult time from a global space. considering what the international community has to be able to do is um, guarantee that the west and, and, and uh,

you can countries as to having to be able to do with the issues around the ukraine . russell and you realize that the loss of resources i've been going towards i, you're supporting the ukrainian. well, the 2nd be having to be with the speaker on this is that you also do find that, that tensions that are rising in the middle east or on the ice is really well. and this is also taking away a number of resources with all the technology that we have put together a capacity to be able to negotiate. we still do not seem to know what the priority is, what you're doing fine, is that a lot of decisions are made based on june for the 2 positions, rather than fundamental economic, sustainable development that or the continents age. and this is why you find that we prefer to be able to try to fit resources towards having tonight. so it's

towards, i mean, my natural country to fragile then actually having to do with a global issue. all right, to stay with our to international up next down the road. the parks on us picks us over costs of member of the can. i said about the possibility of an interstate war in the middle east to deflect from the ongoing mass suffering in gaza. the, the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the welcome to wells, the part. as far as i can make sure every mark more than a century ago, everything is learned in comparison with the prospect of a full scale war between israel and iran. humanitarian does us think of something we seems like a crisis of a 2nd or perhaps even a 3rd order is the possibility of an interest state more in the middle is likely to deflect from the ongoing loss suffering and gaza. i'm going to be a deliberate strategy to redirect the global spotlight out of the global purchase. as to discuss it, i'm now enjoying viable forecast, safe and member of the is really parliament. excessive, representing the left wing arrow point george had dash task party, mr. cust seaford, great to talk to thank you very much for being available. thank you very much for having me. now you've been an outspoken critic of beings really offensive,

engaging and supporting the south african motion to pursue this issue legally at
