the plague this cindy game about, well, you know, we cannot sweetest big about any particular story unless we see evidence what evidence we have already been seeing this evidence for 9 months. no say it. i did so, which by the way is my refugee camp in gaza. and that is my school in gaza in the no say right, refugee camp has been assigned to view them or is such a mess? of course, the big carries massacres, the the residential towers of massacres. the central market massacre, even even this varies, was actually hit a month ago, and it people now also killed in the exhibits under the exact same circumstances. so for the americas to continue to play the city name, the game as of are completely unaware of the fact that as well as lloyd from the very start, by the way, even the americans themselves are saying the is what is have a tab many civilian areas using our weapons with no proper

intelligence, the st. petersburg international economic form has entered it's thursday. the city's governor says a record number of delegates from over 136 countries are taking part in the major economic event. russian president vladimir putin is expected to take part in a panel session with his bolivian and his and bubble and counterparts later today are teased. donald corner brings us more. it has so far been a very grandiose event here in the northern capital of the russian federation. russian president vladimir putin is here and he's already been making some arounds actually, yesterday he had some high profile meetings with the head of the bricks, new development bank, where they spoke about the further development of trade deals between the multi polar countries of the world in national currencies and the development of a bricks, currency in itself. he also had meetings with the presidents of zimbabwe,

olivia, and republicans service guys. so now today we're expecting a keynote speech from him. that's going to be coming up in the, in the coming hours here today. and everyone's really waiting to see what he's going to have to say because the press conference that actually was on the 1st day of this and uh for him was actually very interesting. and it lasted a whole 3 hours. were vladimir put and responded to questions from journalists all around the world. now, in terms of other things going on here are to you has its own panel that's coming up called the empire of evo. it's about the west, basically agenda to demonize, russia wherever it can, and how effective it that's been, it's going to be hosted by our own ops on a boy echo who is the host of worlds, the world's a part program. and it's going to have a panel of serious experts. we've got one relative of the of the auto von, bismarck, we've got the former, a foreign minister of austria among other political experts that are going to be on

this panel to discuss this very important topic. so these are 2 of the main events that we're looking forward to today. and it's definitely looking to be an exciting 3rd day of the st. petersburg international economic for him. and to be sure to stay with us right here on our, to international, just a few minutes from now. we'll take you live to that form for and archie panel on western relations with russia. we're expecting that to start in just a few minutes. so be sure to stay with us, or both wheels having literally fallen off. boeing, airliners scrutiny of the global aircraft times technical and safety issues has taken the center stage. we managed to hear from 2 former company employees turn whistle blowers who spoke out in the hope of protecting future passengers. of the department of transportation in the united states as this is the overseer of the fx . and what we've seen is the department of transportation is completely unengaged. they're just not disengaged. they're, they're, they're, they're standing on the sideline like spectators. they're not really doing anything

. notably from a leadership perspective and taking appropriate action. they're kind of just sitting back and waiting. so obviously the direction where the wind blows and then they jump in and point out the obvious state that out with the government is, is this failing us and all the other countries that are out there depending on the f a n d o t are um, are unaware, i think that this is what's happened. we met with the head of the f. a had to be at the head of the department of 2nd person ranking. that's a deal t and we gave them $35.00 recommendations. um, you know, we identified 35 problems and 35 recommendations and as far as we concerned, they have done none of these. they've ignored all. so what happens is these people go uh, they continue to do with their what they're doing. they continue to get away with making very poor decisions, gross negligence, putting profits in front of safety and the risk and everybody's lives. employ as specifically voice concerns about quality gaps and other issues related to the 787

in the time period between 20202022. boeing pushed back saying you can't insure safety and durability. boy in is putting confidence in the $787.00 dreamliner because of the comprehensive was done to ensure the cold seat and low and some safety of the craft claims about the structural integrity of the 787 inaccurate. the interest rates having subject to rigorous engineering examination on the u. s. federal aviation administration oversight. this analysis has validated that the aircraft will maintain its, your ability and service lives over several decades. and these issues did not present any safety concerns. customers continue to be honest. a sufferings or boeing's mistakes people forget is that a lot of these airplanes that are in the united states or in europe right now may go to other countries in the future when they're 20 years old or whatever. and those plans need to be safe, right? the people in those countries that you know,

maybe they're socio economically challenged or whatever they, they deserve the have safe airplanes. and so, you know, this isn't just about the united states obviously, and this is a global, a global issue. there's no excuse only 20 inspectors are present at the boeing plants. even those thousands of people work there. the f a conducted 89 product tests and boeing sale 33 of them. the agency also conducted 13 separate product audits on spirit arrow systems which manufacturers the $737.00 max fuselage. they receive 7 failing grades. another whistleblower with whom we spoke was joe jacobson, a retired f, a, a safety engineer. i avoid the, the boeing max and that's because i've been tracking all of the in flight issues since it went back into service. i was part of the re certification effort. and i

know there's still some safety concerns with the design. but there's also manufacturing defects that we've been tracking. we're seeing, for example, um the main up down control device on the airplane is the horizontal stabilizer that's driven by a single motor. and that motor is failed dozens of times since it's gone back into service. and this is on new airplanes, and that's, that's a critical piece of, of hardware. you have to ask, why would such a big story related to human deaths get ignored and tears and gave his thoughts on why they're getting away with it, getting away with it because they have, you know, friends in high places. um, but this comes down to leadership for a lot. i mean we want the blowing company to be successful. i mean, one of the things i've learned as a whistleblower and, and then talking with other whistle blowers is, you know, they,

they want their companies to do the right thing. but that's why they're, they're disturbed by what they're seeing and they do everything they can to try to bring attention to these matters owing is an incredibly important company for united states. so no one wants to see boeing fail because it's, uh, it's too big of a blow to the united states economy is one, sam salad. poor a boeing engineer, testified on capitol hill. do you said that he feared physical violence as retaliation? for his words. again, i raised concerns internally, i was sidelined, i was told to shut up, i received physical threats. my boss said i would have killed someone who said what you said this fears a reasonable to boeing whistle blowers recently died. one from an eye infection. the other from a blow that he is reported to have inflicted on himself. many observers are looking on and saying, what is going on at boeing?

a with mauppin party, new york, the all for day voting, bonanza for $720.00 you parliament seats fix off today across the block. and the lines was the 1st to go to the pulse with 20 parties in the running euro. skeptics are expected to capture a majority of the country seats at the european legislative body. according to an episode, research group poll are to contribute original. marston takes us through what's at stake in the big box. each country gets the portion of representation in brussels based on its size with germany having the most wraps at 96 and malta with a least at 6. usually these you elections come down to a choice between the ideological right versus the left. pretty classic. but this time it's different. the political bottom line now seems to fall between the western establishment status pull on one side, and those on both the right and the left to oppose it and the disastrous results of

its policies on the other. now, do me particularly large right now is the issue of ukraine and on one hand, there's a group of politicians who favor the you lodging itself recklessly down this slippery slope of escalation between the west and russia and ukraine, which seems to be an approach pushed by the, i'm elected bureaucrats running nato, and who are in favor of listening rules for use of nato western weapons to strike russian territory from ukraine. and then there are those who want those same unaccountable agents of global governance to take a short walk off a long peer. ok. all right, we're going to take your live now to the st. petersburg international economic form or archie is leading a session tab of the empire of evil. has the west successfully demonized russia? my colleague sounded like a hood hosting. that's a panel discussion. you can see it. i live right there behind me with 5 guests and

taking part 4 of them in person one taking parts uh remotely. as your call my uh, one of our tea commentators got ritter was expected to be in person after the event, but so it was removed from an airplane on the way to the events. we're expecting this to begin shortly. all right, just to give you some background on the events of these st. petersburg economic form has been a fixture of russia's economic seen since 1997. all right, let's listen then as this panel discussion gets under way was successfully demonized russia. and by opposing these question as an economic form, we wanted to be pragmatic. that is treating propaganda or narrative building as any other domain of human activity that requires a you know, goal setting. resource assessments certainly checks with reality as well as the and now as is of the consequences. so in other way we could pose this question as

what is the west gaining or losing? and at what cost at making russia, it's an to me of choice. it's deliberate and to me it's prefer it and i mean, and to, or deliberate that we have a wonderful panel. it could have been a little bit larger, but uh, unfortunately, um, certain circumstances, circumstances intervene. but let me introduce our guest today. uh, starting from the well uh to for me as far right. uh, it's current may so uh, founder um had of gore keys center which stands for geo political observatory for reference key issues at st. petersburg state university. i'm, as i'm sure, most of you know, officers form a foreign minister also with us today is a tire we, rider publicist and back in the early 19 ninety's,

an a to them congressman joseph biden. next is jackson mccain cool, american activism, blogger, and few influenza political commentator and also it, he's a relatively young age. i think you're around for office, for a city office in the united states and alexander phone bismark, chairman of the bismarck dialogue as a great, great grandson of the r and chancellor or the from bismark, who is much appreciated in the city. i know now unfortunately i'm able to be with us physically, but joining us on the screen at least i have here, i hope you can see that behind their backs as well. uh, it's called return, a former un weapons inspector, and the prolific commentator on world affairs who was, as some of you may know,

was briefly detained and taken off the plane by the american authorities ask he was traveling to, to join us physically. so i suppose that's highlights the importance of, of the conversation we are going to have today. and also let me introduce myself. i'm next on a breaker reporter and host of the wills the part show on our team. and uh, with that, let us start with the question i one address to all of our panelists, there is no doubt that there is a certain, um uh, expediency of having uh, an external threats and external anomie you. it could be a very convenient deflection from your own domestic problems. and russia has been used as a dark double for america, for the west, for many, many decades. for many,

many centuries, are with clear about suppose. but i wonder if it's still effective. can the west distinguish between the perception it wants to project and the reality itself because one needs to sit in contact with reality to make clever choices. um squads, why don't we start with that with you? well, i mean it's a so you're, you're dealing with perception versus reality is what we're talking about here. and we have a situation where the united states government, the european governments, in, indeed the, their co conspirators in the western mass media are cast with shaping a perception that russia is an enemy. and they use this perception to gather their resources, both economically diplomatically, militarily,

but it's in essential that they stay on track. russia must be configured as an enemy, worthy of confrontation, worthy of the allocation of these resources. and then there's the reality of russia and the reality is something that the west cannot allow to emerge. and so we're in a battle between perception and reality. in anybody who has the audacity to try and correct the record, so to speak, to, to reach into russia, to capture the russian experience and to bring it out and try to expose it to a western audience is deemed as an enemy of the state literally uh, and uh, i think many of the people on your panel on the stage with you understand what i'm talking about. and i think the fact that i'm not there with you today highlights the reality of what i'm talking about. people who seek to speak the truth about russia to educate the western audience about russia. to demonstrate the russia is

not a threat worthy of the actions of the united states, europe, nato, et cetera, are attacked. their smeared, their voices are sought to be silenced. uh so you know, this is again, comes down to perception versus reality and the perceptions going to win. if you're not able to put an alternative point of view out there. and, and so it's a, it's a constant struggle that we're all engaged in. and we're so glad you over this today virtually uh and appreciate all your work here. now. karen, us called just sat the if a perception is not fought against damage the wind over reality. and you come from europe, which i think has already had experience to sit and brush of with reality and the costs of these confrontation with russia. they seem to be increasing. do you also

believe that the perception is sort of so much more stronger than the reality itself? doesn't drill to have a way of imposing itself ultimately might be. but i wouldn't go into this metaphysical level, i have to, let's keep very straight. you know, it's, it also comes from the bottom up. it's not only comes top down as sometimes the perception of, i should say, oh, it's the media always to leads. first of all, i wouldn't know which kind of leads. i don't know any leads in my country. so what i would call the d test in whichever sand about the positive and negative. you said the perception of russia is something that has been negative for centuries. yes. and that's a stick to that. what the central is like. ready was supposed to be see right now it's uh, not the only right now i experienced it's already in 2018. i experienced it in

2020, please. also for some of the russians drive this because to keep the confusing some facts. i quitted austria in 2020. i didn't quit a in a meeting and 2022. and why? in 2020. because i was a how was prohibited to work. this was the major thing, the threats and the other thing you can deal with threats. but when industry to even you are a spit to that as the russian pick, you know, then please don't let us speak about the leads and media because these people are rag react by their own initiative, whatever kind of hatred they have. so and then the centuries i would like to, to focus on that because i, the, has been and took on the mess and going on between east and west of, for, for a long, long time. and the russia is part of the east. whether it's be sons, whether it's autumn on empire, whether it's mongolia,

the mongol is coming and that they did the war between the poor little of free market democratic greek city states. a 2400 years ago on the one side and this autocratic, also retire in person and probably on the other side, you know, it's an antique and it's something that has been going on for a long, long time. and it's very, very much and rooted in people uh, in, in, in terms of the with even go into epigenetics and, you know, in the end designs of business uh, we have now this special worth narrative. i don't like it, it's something that is simply passed on and this east, west impact on this, some of which correct russia geographic kind of is part of is there. i must have traveled to iran on the regular level for about 1618 years when iran was also likes to that the local plays. it's the list for many bucks it. it has also become more accepted now again,

because this is another no go place called restaurant blended russia of. but then the sanctions that we have seen against the stomach republic of around. first of all, you cannot make bases to level whereas harsh is what we see, but above old, i remember very well when i traveled to turn around to teach stair. people say it was a southern sounds of curiosity. oh, how interesting, you know, i try it. i would like, i always wanted to ways it around the fact that i was teaching the rest of the or was it to the fax? it was uh that i, i started working for some people spoken. it was a to last year in uh, september 2023 was the triggering momentum for austria of sorry, teeth into a form of dean of the law faculty in to a, to the current through direct of the diplomatic academy with whom i had been working personally for beckett's to announce public key, we have to discuss how to draw a withdrawal,

her citizenship. so this is something that goes much more deeper than anything that the ron has seen. you know? so even if i don't want to compare on now that the mist teeth, so what add all the perception between around and, and, and the russian federation. but it just gives us a little sense of how deep rooted is that. and when it comes to the particular plays while i come from, let me add to that pulls the topic which might not be so familiar for some, but it's also castle is some worse of also thought. maybe it's not anymore on the agenda for many because we understood last world, well, my read religion doesn't really matter because that many people, but uh, but it's somewhere written in there. you know, it's so you, you, it's not so tangible but it's there. and in my book curriculum for europe, which so it's just the reach the bookstore this week. i do a little bit on that because this east,

west answer goodness castle. this isn't worse as the orthodoxy. it's very, i'm, it's like an a cut marker custom when it comes to the and when it comes to this old battle between what's huntington called, the 4th line, smell, semel, huntington and destruction of civilization. it's something like for historic speaking, how do you said you didn't want to delve into metaphysics, but here you are. so specifically talking about how people approach your human soul . and i think that's truly of the, at the corner of the a civilizational device is to say, look under may a turn to you because karen just said that she believes this in tagging is runs or in coded already if a genetically. but you come from germany and your famous ancestor is known as one of the founders of re i'll pull the teak reality, which is a brand of uh, sort of uh, analytical school that tries to put aside all the blah, blah, blah,

all the rhetoric and look at the basics of how you make money or how you make strategic decisions or how you deal with your resources or how you build the estate, or how you provide for you people or how you do governance and all those sort of stuff that's ultimately at the end of the day, i think um, well at least in my personal opinion that we are here for and ultimately what the government this is for. and it's not only popular here in saint petersburg. it used to be popular in germany. you know, drummond, protestant ethic is what, um, you know, your country is famous for. do you agree that or what happened with all of that to turn germany in to what it is right now, you know, talking about, you know, possibly sending yeah. pretty well. let's see that i can be here and i must prostate great company meant to design pictures. book is the beautiful town i ever seen in the world. and i come often present this book again

and to love this city it's. it's a wall. absolutely. i'm your uh, famous ancestor was an android here. if someone does it, i re i read menu that is from auto. from bismark, when you ride to us life and sight, the people so warm and you can talk with them very easy the. and so i read every a letter us and i must say he was right. ready uh uh, 1st i can say he said if russia and german. ready go together and be friends together, then you will be well, and i think the guys coming said that particular lead our political elite another lead but they. ready had to do something that's

very different to the people in germany, a 2 percent. not believe what our government do and say, and the mainstream maybe a want push the people they want it give another picture that's been the most young people. ready look, look at the main stream. they look on the social media, and we have so much as many social media's and different things. so the, the, the thinking of the young people is it is of, in the political elite. and so i say the, the i was grown up in the best of the gemini, and the u. s. was always say to us, the crazy, the russian people, the and i loved it, 2030 years every day. and when i go in

the east, when the waterfall of somebody comes from the east side is in 750 is in the near area from burden. and i talked to the people that and i, i saw that they think it a very, very easy to and, and, and few, we have a that, that we in the west. and so i talk a lot a lot a lot. and they say why you have a different thinking perhaps to other countries. and so i do not that the language from the rations a very, very different if you see they say putting say yes, that's a government, but the people a nice and he,

he put the 2 sides and it is, you can see it the germany, i can see here now, so for proposing that the retreat sort of showing says somebody. uh, people are also nice. yeah. i think that would be a good yes from it's to the current student. so i, i, i would say it every day. so i asked the government of russia, please give us the visa, free for the german people. and so we can visit very without, through the critique, the people in russia and it's one when you talk to them. and the governments don't want this. but if you do it from russia, we, he, they can do it at it is, and i hope the level of bluetooth this, the, for our german young people. okay, let me use this opportunity because we have a panelist who came here on the visa, but she now fear is coming back. i want to totter to join our discussion. she

correct me if i'm wrong, but the she now enjoys russian temporary residency, but she's afraid of going back to her own country. and i'm sure you also have had your world view changed over the last couple of years. because i know that in the past who used to be a very firm and young democrats and nowadays, uh like, uh, a lot of, uh, freedom loving people, years you happen to be in this country. it's how come i came here a year ago and delta dean, you know, especially of us for so i, i'm really happy to be here. so i was here visiting actually, and for russia for the 1st time. and i felt very honored to do that. and i was overseeing the translation of my book while i was here, it became clear that if i went back, i was being told that i would be arrested possibly. and the reason for that is i had worked for joe biden on senator biden, which you mention in the past,

and in 1993, i had filed a report against him, and then i spoke up again in 20192020 joe biden came after me 1st with the media and then with the d o j an f b, i had everything taken from me, i, i lost my home, i lost my profession and i lost everything. and when i was here visiting, i was here to oversee the translation of my book, and then it became clear i might even lose my freedom if i went back to the united states. now i'm under political asylum still and just i was moving out of that to try to just to normalize and have word visa and that kind of thing. and i just was informed, i was gonna try to testify before congress against joe biden. that there's a problem with my passport. so next week i'll find out why and if the state department has decided to suspend, which seems arbitrary and capricious different than scott's case. but my point is, is there is.
