12:02 pm
united states, they have a very expensive and extensive biological program of this bile, our program, the, the host. basically there is plenty of host countries. and ukraine became began to take part in this program after the events of 2014, when basically during a revolution, the government was ousted and basically the new government, the new imported government to cause towards a more, you know, towards integration with the west. there were multiple labs, operational, they're very, very, very, highly secretive and very few people knew what was going on there. but now with the russian operation in ukraine. now the russian military knows a little bit more as to what's been going on there. and a lot of facts and a lot of a lot of evidence points that it wasn't just the united states, but its allies like germany, for example. they, they have been taking part in it to have listened to something else said by the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry. maria's a harbor, the white house,
12:03 pm
things that have fans is the best defense and has lost yet another propaganda campaign centered on the false assertion that our country's efforts to draw the attention of the international community to the activities of the us military biologists in ukraine are allegedly nothing more than a smokescreen, which they say moscow will try to use to cover up the potential use of biological or chemical weapons during the special military operation that is conducted by the russian armed forces. so essentially the point she's making here that the united states, they're doing everything in their power to draw attention away from these labs, like nothing to see here move along. it's all good old fine. and our supporters in this effort to draw the attention away the united states is by germany. or you said the u. s. is trying to draw attention away from these bio labs. but have we heard any concrete statements from the united states or germany? germany has remained silent to this matter, but we did here. i mean, it wasn't, it didn't come right away. it's not a new statement. but here's, for example,
12:04 pm
how victoria newland of the united states. once reference to these labs, ukraine has biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of russian forces should they approach so well, if there's one thing that is set in stone is that the united states, they don't want the russians finding out what's going on in these biological labs, but well, the russian military, which is engage in the special operation in ukraine, they are making some very disturbing revelations like for example, documents the ukraine of authorities. apparently they reached out to the turkish manufacturer of the bible unmanned aerial vehicles trying to figure out and asking questions like, for example, if the drone is capable of, you know, flying as far as 300 kilometers away from the control point from the control
12:05 pm
station. if by rock towers are capable of carrying areas, souls, so both on says we're know the ones that they received from turkey. but again, this is very alarming given that shortly after that, the russians they found out, they literally found a drone that was equipped with everything necessary to well be flying to with something with something spray about essentially. and on top of that, the united states, they painted a technology that would allow them to manufacture such drones, well, capable of flying armed with something spray a bowl. so essentially that technology would allow them to manufacture those drones at large. was you said, of course this affects the rest of the world. so how has the rest of the international community responded to what's what russia saying about this? well, it is these labs, it's something of an elephant in the room that most countries, especially american allies, are trying not to not to see, not to notice. but well,
12:06 pm
we've had some reaction from china who woke spoiler alert. they weren't happy at all. me worthy united states has not yet given any convincing explanation. fritz by a military activities undertaken consultation and co operation to address concerns is requirement of the biological weapons convention. the u. s. has no right to reject discussions on the issue. u. s. remarks have so far been ambiguous and even self contradictory, which roused greatest suspicion from the international community. right now, there was, there are 2 different forces acting against each other. the united states trying to kind of sweep this under the rug and russia and china who are kind of urging other nations to pay attention to this as well, especially given if any of this information were substances fool in the wrong hands . a new investigation has alleged that the ukrainian security service has been torturing prisoners of war and ukrainians force who are suspected of having pro
12:07 pm
russian sympathies. the report contains the accounts of people who shared their experiences. they used a lighter to heat up a needle than put it under my fingernails. the worst was when they put the plastic bag over my head and suffocated me. and when they held the muzzle of a kalashnikov rifle to my head and forced me to answer their questions, it was like a small guantanamo. i was told that if it wasn't for my 2nd passport, i'd be killed. i didn't know how much that was to influence and scare me, or how much of it was real. currently, the s b u is rounding up. anyone accused of sympathy for russia? so anyone who speaks russian, anyone who is, is thought to be in support of the russian offensive inside ukraine is likely to be put into this torture prison and interrogated and beaten my investigation contains testimony from 2 men who were tortured inside
12:08 pm
the s b. u. headquarters and a sports complex or gym attached to it. and they gave me accounts of extreme torture. beatings where, where prisoners were bleeding from their mouth. one man had hot needles stuck under his fingernails. he said that there were 2 men from bella, russia who were tortured to death. so it's clear, and it's been documented not only by myself, but by amnesty international and united nations that the ukrainian security service, the s b u. tortures prisoners, ukrainian secret services use of torture and prisons has been previously covered in reports, published by the united nations and amnesty international. according to those reports, the s b u has a number of compounds in cities across ukraine,
12:09 pm
where people have allegedly been detained and tortured for having pro russian views . report's author, dan cohen also claims ukrainian security service was working on a plot to assassinate the exiled opposition. figure and leading journalist anatoly, shari. he's also a popular blogger who, back in 2020, had claimed, had already claimed one's keys. presidential office had ordered his assassination. not to be a glove. this police report was written a few hours ago to spanish police. in this report, a man named alexander's old can states that he's got an order for a political assassination of a politician and blogger anatoly sharia. according to his words, the assassination order has been given from people directly affiliated with the presidential office of ukraine. we need to see reporters asking the lensky, where are these prisoners who have been disappeared and we never, and we've never heard from again. and if they've been killed or tortured, as they obviously have their need to be, these are,
12:10 pm
these are crimes that need to be, there needs to be accountability for them. this sort of torture fits a geo political agenda in support of the united states and european union against russia. and so, well the us and you claim to be supporting democracy and, and for freedom it's obvious that you know, anyone who's unlucky enough to end up in one of these torture prisons may not come out alive. so there's a very clear double standard and this has nothing to do with human rights or democracy. it's all about us, empire. well, you've just heard about the threat posed to one opposition figure in the past, but another is facing problems right now. victor med ver, ciocca was arrested this week by ukrainian security services, and now his wife is acts asking british prime minister boars. johnson, to swapped,

12:13 pm
a strongest and other european leader will turn a blind eye to this. like if he does something about russia, then this is our god. but the reason they will kind of blind died political trials to the erect from an opposition political leaders such as victim met unto the active nationalists and radicals. a lot of humor inside the army. but i'm saying the russian military says it's prevented an attempt by key of to destroy a hydro electrical power plant in the southern city of her song, to ballistic missiles were apparently shot down by air depend, systems did air defense systems. fragments of the missiles fell upon a residential area, damaging houses, and causing several casualties. russia defense ministry stated that the failed attack could have led to the uncontrolled flooding of multiple settlements in the region. yet have we have yet to hear from ki, have about the incident, but one man told us that his house was damaged by the strike. this is

12:18 pm
shortages in yemen and beyond laying all the blame on moscow for the rapidly storing prices being seen around the world. the world food programs march report identified yemen is one of the country's most effected by wheat price increases, and lack of imports from ukraine. this is just another grim example of the ripple effect rushes unprovoked, unjust unconscionable war is having on the world's most vulnerable us ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas greenfield, linked to russia's actions to you in ukraine to humans, crippling hunger crisis. at the same time, she praised saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for their humanitarian support to the country. though not mentioning that re ads, ongoing bombing campaign had allegedly targeted on purpose, food production sites and vitals. civilian infrastructure for more than 7 years. currently, up to 19000000 people in yemen are classified as food and secure and even more are
12:19 pm
in need of humanitarian assistance. with 3500000 women and children suffering from acute malnutrition. russia responded to the charges during the un session, claiming us sanctions have damage the supply chain and cause global food shortages . the main factor for instability and the source of the problem today is not the russian special military operation in ukraine. but sanctions, measures imposed on our country seeking to cut off any supplies from russia and the supply chain apart from those supplies that those countries in the west need. in other words, energy. this is an outrageous accusation. the entire world knows why yemen has no food. it has no clean water, it has no medicine, and that is because of the u. s. backed war, there's an old saying that if you repeat ally often enough, it becomes the truth. and i think that's what we're seeing here. this war in yemen, led by saudi arabia, participated in by the united arab emirates and with the military backing of the
12:20 pm
united states has been going on for a long time. and it's because these 3 countries just refused to accept the fact that the government of yemen has changed. now, what they are able to do in order to choke off the new government of yemen, is to stop shipments of food and medicine. they can bomb 24 hours a day, and that's exactly what they've done. they're hoping now that the world will be distracted by another war in ukraine, and will ignore the war crimes and the crimes against humanity that have been committed by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates in yemen. the stability of northern europe would be jeopardized to finland and sweden join nato. that's the warning from the russian foreign ministry after both countries said their mulling joining the alliance. it's no secret that the territories of these states have long been claimed by nato with large scale military exercises being held. that motives
12:21 pm
of the alliance are clear. but it's unclear while baltic region neighbors, finland, and sweden, one to turn into a new frontier of confrontation between the nato block and russia. the negative consequences for peace and stability in northern europe are obvious. earlier. moscow also stated that if ascension happens, russia will have to reinforce the baltic sea region by deploying nuclear weapons to it's european ex, clave of colon garad in order to quote, restore the balance rushes repeatedly argued. nato expansion goes against its security concerns. something highlighted during talks before the war and ukraine began, but dismissed by western powers. during the cold war, these countries alongside austria, ireland, and switzerland decided not to join political and military alliances. however, in the 1990 s. busy all neutral states became part of a of nato's partnership for peace program that allows them to cooperate militarily
12:22 pm
and peacefully with the block without full membership, the governments of sweden and austria. now, claim things have changed due to the conflict in ukraine, and they are reconsidering their positions. the european security architecture have changed fundamentally after russians invasion of ukraine. we have deepened our native partnership until now hand in hand with sweden. ever since russia legally and exit crimea, there is no other way to have security guarantees done under nato's deterrence and common defense as guaranteed by nato's article. 5 human and labor rights lawyer dan cove. all like believes russia will definitely respond to sweden and finland, join nato. we know that this conflict in ukraine was provoked by nato's continued expansion towards russia by nato's refusal to guarantee that ukraine would not be brought into nato. and i have sweden and finland saying,
12:23 pm
oh, maybe we'll join nato. so this just seems to add fuel to the fire and is, you know, frankly inexplicable. it's obvious the west or wants to have an extremely hostile relationship with russia. and this would be just another way to show that i certainly think russia will respond in, in some kind of way that, you know, is a counter move to what sweden and finland are doing. again, whatever that moves going to be. it's just gonna increase tensions between the nuclear powers and probably make a nuclear war or whether accidental or not. more likely, this will just lead to further conflicts around the world and into that extend. it's, it's regrettable joe biden's critics have been taking a swipe at the president's faculties once again claiming he looked, quote last at the end of a speech by trying to shake hands with thin air. president also claimed he had served as a full professor at the university of pennsylvania,
12:24 pm
despite never having taught a class at the institution. hulu . latest gaff has unsurprisingly led to a flood of means appearing on line one, showing bite and shaking zalinski his hand, and another highlighting his apparent confusion while trying to leave the stage. it's the latest at a string of recent biden blunders. only last week, the president appeared confused, as he was apparently ignored at a white house event. for
12:25 pm
biden, also looks like he started to resort to cheat sheets when he doubled down on his apparently unscripted claim. last month that russian liter, vladimir putin cannot remain in power. the notes appeared to include questions expected from reports, as well as the answers that biden should give. biden has used notes, identifying certain reporters since his 1st press conference, as president biden's approval rating is apparently at the lowest level of his presidency. so far with the cnn pole of poles, putting it at less than 40 percent. former a vice chair for the libertarian national committee. arvin bora thinks americans are increasingly beginning to question the president's ability to leave their, to leave their country. there's a lot of things that are conveying the impression that there might be some sort of cognitive impairment, some sort of dementia. and the problem that we're seeing is not just the, the, the actual problem which, you know, we might have present bed that's not fit to be president. but there's a secondary cover up that seem to be going on. you know right now,
12:26 pm
abide and dementia is probably one of the top google searches in the country. but if you type start typing by dimensions into google, you don't get the auto fill that you usually do for a highly popular search. so we're seeing not just the question on everybody's mind, but the fact that the answer to that question or information about that question seems to be be actively suppressed by the big tech companies that really back as president in the 1st place. basically, there are a lot of questions coming up, you know, does he have the cognitive ability to do this job? and again, this is not a partisan issue because if it's showing that he doesn't, the person who would take over it would be vice president harris who is also a democrat. so this is not a republican versus democrat or republican versus libertarian versus democrat. mean this, that the part is not going to change, but this question, it has become a question that you know, on the minds of the american people. and some people are seeing it actively. some people are maybe sort of subconsciously looking at it, which is why you're seeing his domestic numbers plummeting. if i had to guess,
12:27 pm
my guess would be that his born perception is also not doing too well, but at least domestically we see those approval numbers plummeting. because people have very real question about if you fit to even do the job. thanks for watching our 2 international stick around and another 30 minutes for more whirlpools. mm. for? ah, lisa canter, russian state total narrative. as time goes on in the most lensky in, with, in the 55 with
12:28 pm
will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup, machines. the state on russia today and sports r t sport next. even our video agency, roughly all bands on youtube with me. so what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk
12:29 pm
blue. ah, it was in the 1950s that our secretary of state john foster, dulles proclaimed. our policy is global. ah, we started as a continental empire by clearing out the native peoples and other foreign forces. then we became and overseas empire by taking islands in various parts of the world. and then after the 2nd world war, we became a global empire. now we are playing on the whole bill. your time
12:30 pm
with the united states has always had a variety of tools to use in it's a tax on other countries economic sanctions are, are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country, particularly in our own press. and in the press of that leaders own country.
