ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, they should know that our response will follow at a light speed. we have all the tools which no one else can now postal. what flawed a mirror put in declare as will be the response to any outside interference against russia. so fence of in ukraine, also coming up on the program. no gas for a poland on bold guerria until they pay for their imports in roubles. as russia turns off its ups, you commission chief slums, the decision on justified on except with the u. s. continues to send thousands of its weapons to ukraine. some defense contractors are warning up shortages ahead o'clock up huge profits with,

from moscow to the world. this is our t thanks for choosing us for global news update today. i'm, you know, russia will retaliate lightening fast decisively to any outside interference targeting it's ongoing military operation in ukraine. that's want vladimir put into a russian legislators today during a working trip to st. petersburg is live toto was limited, so if someone from outside decides to interfere in the ongoing operation and will post strategic threats unacceptable to russia, they should know that our response i'll follow at a lightening speed. we have all the tools which no one else can now boast of. i'd like to stress that all the toss of a military operation in don't bus and ukraine will be successfully tackled for sure . our soldiers have managed to avert a real danger looming over russia. russian president vladimir putin certainly shed a lot of light on the current state of the conflict and ukraine at this meeting

with legislators in st. petersburg. most importantly, he said that all of the objectives of russia special operation are going to be accomplished. he said that russia was always in favor of ukraine as an independent, neutral country. and that moscow cannot be blamed for the failure of diplomacy to work things out. in response to economic sanctions, putin said that russia has the potential to become a world leader in the field of technology, and that all measures possible will be taken to defy attempts to isolate the country. now we also heard from the russian president on a plans by the ukrainians to attack crimea and don boss, let's take a listen. the full news. as a friend, russia favored the establishment of an independent ukraine back than we expected ukraine to become friendly, that we will move forward together, bolstering each other in the new historical context. suddenly, nobody expected an anti russian nation to spring up on historical russian lands than ukraine was pushed towards

a direct confrontation with russia. i'll remind you unfortunately, the plans including a military attack on crimea dumbass when shrine in ukraine's doctrine documents and the crating people were destined to become a consumable material duration. now it's important to note that russian president vladimir putin statements come as we're seeing more and more attacks on russian territory that moscow was blaming here for just last night. and this morning. explosions were heard throughout russian border regions, including belgrade course and veronica. these nobody was killed or injured, but these are far from the 1st such attacks actually, and we've been seeing them happen more and more often as of late even back at the beginning of the military operation. when i was reporting in russia's border region of our staff, we saw a lot of shelling there as well. but what's different right now is that western officials are now openly calling for ukrainian troops to attack russian territory. let's take a listen. it's completely legitimate for ukraine to be targeting in rushes that in

order to disrupt the logistics. oscar already reacted to that statement. it said that if the ukrainians were to attack russian territory with u. k provided weapons that russian forces would retaliate by attacking decision making centers in kiev. but this all really looks, these attacks are just one theater of what looks to be a larger confrontation between russia and the west. in fact, proved and said that this is all actually happening on the backdrop of a long wage economic war by the west, against russia, to isolate russia's economy and that the west has shown little willingness to sit down at the negotiating table. well it's dell of into that with dummy mac album is from the ron paul institute for peace prosperity. the grid have you on the programmed on you are these words from last year? do you see them directly linked to the the huge arm supplies? no flooding into ukraine from the west. i think it's very clear that the,

that the u. s. and it's nato allies are attempting to ramp up support or ramp up the transfer of a weapons to ukraine. that's the reason why. so many of these rail depots were blown up over the last few days to prevent, prevent them from getting from west to east in ukraine. so there's no question that the ramping up, there's no question that the there is a bit of desperation on the part because i think as we know, i was just coming to a quick close with the closing of the culture and in on bass. and i think that nato in the us are desperate to keep the war going. i talk to believe that they actually think that ukraine could, could win this even though secretary austin said they could, will, while the russian president had to say, will it in any way affect the supply of arms to ukraine? do you think will western states be more cautious? i'm afraid they won't, because they believe their own rhetoric. they believe that russia is bluffing. it

doesn't matter what you think of putin or russia or the invasion. one thing that's been very consistent this entire time is that president putin has done what he said he's going to do. this goes back to december when the new documents for a new security architecture, when you're doing a cetera, et cetera. he's done what he said he would do. he should be taken seriously. there's a huge danger that a war will erupt because of a misinterpretation or receive, that the russian side is saying what they believe in what they will do. was that the right tone? do think his, his rhetoric was a to combative i don't know, i can't answer that. i'm not, you know, i'm not in that business, but i can say that if the shoe on the other foot and the chinese were armor, the russians were arming an insurgency in mexico and using their weapons to kill americans in california, texas, the u. s. would take a similar tone, probably even the more confrontational tone. but unfortunately, american analysts never see the rest of the world through the eyes of others. do

you expect any response from western states to the president's comments? i don't know. i don't know what's going to happen. i'm afraid that the worst is going to happen. i'm afraid you're going to see, for example, hit unopposed air field to make the point very clearly. i hope that doesn't happen . obviously, the us must know that this is a desperate situation for ukraine. why are they continue with and why more importantly, why is it in any remote way in america's national interest to be provoking a war over the borders of ukraine? no one has answered that question yet. johnny, i know you could answer this for quite a quite a while, but i'll just press your props. what do you think is the, is the biggest one issue here? love him or putting said he, he always expected friendly relations with ukraine and never saw it becoming an anti russian state. where did it go wrong and went wrong when the united states over to the government in 2014, there were predecessors to 2005 with the revolution, but the overthrow in 2014,

put in a power that objectively hostile toward russia, the repression of russian language, that's when the war started. the war started in 2014, not february 24th of 2022. but nobody in the us understands that and our media won't cover that part. it just finally b, u n chief, who visited russia this week said that the global body is where all grievances have to be solved. why then, hasn't that happened in this case? well, remember after the book of so called massacre, the, the russians immediately asked for a security council meeting to investigate in the united kingdom said, no, we don't want to investigate it. so it does make you wonder why they aren't more involved. they're surely a lot of pressure to quote isolation, russia isolate, and i think that probably has a lot to do with it. daniel many, thanks for your thoughts today. donny mcadams from the u. s. base. ron paul institute for peace and prosperity. russia has shut the

top solid gas supplies, the poland unbowed area, the energy john gas from cited the countries failure to pay for their imports in roubles on time. i think that's any unauthorized use of trans gas destined for other buyers could result in further cups. the chief has slammed the decision us on, justified the announcement by guests from that it's unilaterally stopping delivery of gas to customers in europe. is yet another attempt by russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail. this is unjustified and unacceptable. and it shows once again and reliability of russia as a guest supplier you or was quick, took years moscow black male in the to you countries that are almost completely dependent on russian gas. the president of the european commission now says that the work should be intensified to bring as much director with the union as possible to minimize the negative impact from this decision. and also she says,

a very interesting thing that right now, poland and bulgaria are receiving energy from their neighbors. so they are continuing to receiving russian gas. but just someone else is paying for that. and gas prices, of course, are much higher which sounds a little bit like observed various european politicians and experts claimed repeatedly that europe is not capable of given oppression gas. and this is why and this tending that many countries have already accepted pain in the way russia ones among them. hungary, austria, germany here is austrian, a chancellor explaining that it's items we'd be of you went thought the we, i mean, the ostrich mineral oil administration stock company accepted the payment terms as the german government. the payment conditions were found adequate to comply with the conditions of the sanctions. it was important for us and this is very important for you to make it clear. the states can still pay in your is a doors or any other currency. they just have to open accounts in russia's gas from

bank, so that later their payments are converted into roubles. so it doesn't make a big difference. actually was gas from claims if notified, both poland and bulgaria in advance about the suspension of the ration. guess if the payment is not made. so this is actually what happened. they were warned, not frats. and right, the russian presidents spokesperson also stresses that this decision is rush reaction to numerous unfriendly step stores. more so you know, that the country's economy has been, he dramatically because of numerous packages of economic sanctions. so who's black mailing, who that's the question ready? seeing of course, a huge cost of living crisis in europe. is that, or a disconnect between what officials and seeing how people are actually dealing on a day to day basis is going to make the, the current situation worse. while europe is dependent on russian energy and of course, given adopt would fail immediately. and everybody knew that, and everybody was aware about the consequences and they have been talking about

that. now we see that the market is in turbulence. clearly european gas prices rose by as much as a fees. but the sad thing is that ordinary people are those paying the highest price we hear right now, for example, that some people in europe now have to choose between paying their energy bills or buying food because it's getting hotter and hotter everyday to afford was maria for national london has stated it will be russia that suffers the most over its gas payment rules, claiming not turning the top off on bulgaria and poland will only lead to greater global isolation. halting gas supplies will have a very damaging effect on russia as well because it is becoming further and further more and more, not just a political pariah, but any can mcbryan. the medical history clearly needs to be torn down because this is a very serious problem. there is a real yes, symbolic relationship that has existed between europe and russia. if you look at

the shadow of the russia gash and europe group, which is i don't 14250 b, c. m. you know, the crisis in europe is actually 5 times out of shima. so i would rather have, you know, once in a goes making it is having that judgment and actually trying to solve the current crisis. i think you want a little situation to the actual battle, rollins in the ukraine conflict, russian or forces have reportedly destroyed hungers in the se, offer lucy region which were said to contain weapons delivered from ukraine's western allies. the strikes were carried on by cruise missiles, the russian m. o d claims 59 military targets were hit in ukraine overnight. in areas where national groups were located. on the city of murray, utah, one of the main front lines was a key topic of discussion during talks in moscow on tuesday, between the united nations chief and russia's president on foreign ministry.

antonio gutierrez said, an agreement had been reached to use un resources to help civilians leave the hours of sell still free work. some people are to lead to the show for. the industrial zone remains hold on for far right. nationalists fighters who have refused to lay down their arms. a murray for resident we spoke to name was locals were being used, as you mentioned. since they were hiding in the 70 fat house in the basement on the 1st floor. who is hiding there? not teeth nazis, whereas off i do not know which one of them it was did. they have chevrons, some kind of symbols? well, all ukrainian military have these ribbons and everything else. i do not know the answer for the national guard or someone else did. they offer you the chance to evacuate were used as a human shield for them. well of course they were hygiene. house entrance had artillery the a russian pilot serving jail time in the us. so has been released in a prisoner exchange between moscow and washington. according to the russian foreign

ministry, constantine gotta show that was sentenced to 20 years in prison, back in 2011 1st. suppose an involvement in drug smuggling. he's not being swapped for american student on a former us marine trevor. read this job in russia for resisting arrest and striking a police officer russian pilots, y'all to shank was jailing spar, a sponsor between the nations but moscow claiming the arrest group. the vienna convention on the diplomatic relations russian politician, maria britain, who also served time in the american jail, sees the u. s. would prefer to keep the darker parts of its prison system, locked up to the united states. they didn't care about their own citizens. they just didn't want russians to go home because it was me and dad, they have been unjustly serving time in the us prison. also they, as i did when i return, they could tell the truth that american prisons are not like they show movies. and

they actually do talk for people psychologically physically and they do or keep them in a very hard condition. there is a big difference between what the medic i'm say and what they actually do. and obviously the gesture makes change. gesture means that russian diplomats found words and found an offer to the united states that they, they couldn't reject. and it just means that this is incredible victory or russian diplomats for despite all the hard situation of the world's andrews before they're in the united states, they found a way to successfully finish the negotiations. the united states will face a shortage of stinger anti ur croft systems in 2023 because so many of them have been sent to key of to arm ukraine. that is the warning from the arms manufacturer

and major u. s. defense contractor re field. however, the conflict has been good news for raphael. according to the company's recent report, clocked up sales of almost $16000000000.00 in the 1st quarter of this year, about 3 percent over 2021. and not financial boost comes courtesy of stinger missiles being one of a major weapons delivered to ukraine as well as java and the tongue missiles since rushes operation began. 1402 anti aircraft systems have been sent to kia forces with some official estimating washington house given away nearly a quarter of its stalks to curb the shortage. the u. s. defense department is seeking more military equipment to be distributed by other organizations. the departments asking for or defend santee armor, another systems from across the military industry, and is exploring ways to run the production. former cia analyst,

laurie c. johnson told the program defense contractors season conflicts to drastically push shop spending on arms. united states congress is poised to sought to up the defense budget to the 800000000000, if not more. so these companies are not hurting at all. this is, you know, they love this trying to think because it gives them a rationale to justify expenditures or weapons systems, the stinger missile this 1st built in 1981. this is the equivalent of sending 1981 lot to somebody as a new, audible with lamp. and number 2, it is a weapon system that frankly was designed for technology in the 1980s. and over the last 30 years, the united states had never fought the country. it actually had a real error. so now there's weapon systems being used in ukraine. and it has not

been used effective when i was been stingers in 1986 was not the central intelligence agency. we were dealing with it in terms of arming the enough ghana stand to shoot down the soviet telephone. it was effective back in the 1980s, but it had still had limited effect. we're now in 2022. this business technology it's, it's 41 years old. i don't care how much they've updated. the foundation of it is, it's a 41 year old weapon. basically the united states is giving away weapon system that's not effective against the 1st world military and rush is a 1st world military. well, speaking of big numbers, global military spending has surpassed 2 trillion dollars with the u. s. sitting firmly at the top of the tree, the latest figures show it spends more on its military than the next 9 nations

combined. and some are increasingly questioning if the country's got its priorities the right way around. it comes as president biden's approval rating, hit a new low with $37.00, a sense of respondents strongly disapproving of his performance in the oval office . the survey shows people want the government to focus more in inflation and soaring petrol prices, as well as surging crime rates. immigration on the election, integrity was also of concern to americans, our businesses raising their prices on getting however bigger profits. a recent study house show an average profit growth is currently around 50 percent. on look at this. some big name brands like the retailer at motel have clocked in incredible numbers. they're up 111000 percent since 2020 political analyst. garland nixon believes the u. s. government's priorities are not what the public wants them to be . what we're looking at is

a country that has its priorities upside down and inside out. and here's what i mean. you know, the, the duty, the 1st duty of a government is to take care of the needs of the people. our government now takes care of the needs of a very small group, a very powerful, well, the oligarchy. so the military spending, interestingly enough, is partially about maintaining world hedge money. well, that's falling apart, but trying, trying to maintain world edge of a germany. but the other big part of it is it's about enriching a small group of very wealthy people. our government has been wholly captured by the powerful oligarchy. i mean, we always use the term oligarchy. we're referring to russia, ukraine, or other countries. but none of those oligarchy are nearly as wealthy as the jeff bezos in the line marks in the co brothers in america. and they have wholly captured the u. s. government. so if you look at the priorities of the u. s.

government in who they're representing, one could argue that yes, they've got their priorities in order because the people that they are representing are getting in rich as far as the other 330000000 of us, we no longer rank, very high and their list of priorities ukraine is important to the of the neo cons, to the beltway insiders, the pro war, and i'll use this term, the fascist pro war belt way. insiders in washington, d. c. they see green at the top priority, but the people on the street are concerned with, you know, feeding their children and keeping a roof over there. russia has called quote provocative statements from ukraine, promising to occupy the breakaway trans nice to republic, if moldova request sit here for a year accused moscow destabilizing the situation, or we should close emilio should. so we clearly understand that these are the steps made by russia here,

special forces are working there. it's not about fake news anymore, and we understand the goal is to destabilize the region to threaten moldova, moldova should call ukraine and romania for help due to the deteriorated situation in trans nestor. if moldova asks ukraine, we can take trans mister under control. ukrainian armed forces have enough strength for that. trans nestor is a breakaway region of mold over which has rushing peacekeeping forces station there . it also has a long border with ukraine. the situation in the area deteriorated on monday after a local government office was shelled, a radio must on military bases were also targeted. and on wednesday morning, firing, reportedly from ukrainian territory was heard near a huge arms depot or reacting to ukraine statements. moldova said, the only solution concerning they trans nestor issue is a political one. but the head of the republic claimed efforts were under way to

drag it into the wider conflict. here's the view of local parliament member andrea . the phone of as regards keeps don't you pretty much. we need to view the interview of various stove it as well as some other statements by such characters as bodacious in a deliberate provocation. and at the same time, an attempt to force trans nice did to make statements that can be used against us. so we have to keep the powder dry, how security forces do that. but at the same time, when to stand that both way and the russians can be provoked to do some unreasonable steps, ukrainian leadership is now trying to provoke russia in different areas. it seems trans needs to become a hostage of this situation to some ukrainian politicians look at it as rushes ally, relying strictly on facts. we can assess accordingly. the attack on tourist ball as well as the explosion at the radio miles transmitting russian radio to ukrainian territory, as well as some other actions. in any case, it can be seen as a provocation. we proceed from the premise that as our president said, those attacking the state security ministry building hate in ukrainian territory.

china is demanding an investigation into a terrorist attack and pakistan which left 3 chinese nationals and one pakistani citizen dead. on tuesday, in the city of karachi, a woman wearing an exclusive, vast detonated device next to a bus with chinese teachers. all nights i saw the university. it's the 1st case this year of an attack on chinese citizens in pakistan. we got reaction to the instant from victor. gov, vice president of the center for china and globalization on firstly, shall he be rasa independent on the list and commented or on international security efforts. first of all, this was the 1st terrorist attack that involves a female suicide. bomber to be very shy of box, not as you can, forces may not have seen this coming because in boxes on. ready females don't actually have to go through the same amount of screening and security processes as

that men do, due to close for a reason. the political uncertainty in august on new to the this. so stalemate over when the elections are going to happen and all that. this is strictly feeding into this entire national security paradigm where millicent groups are taking advantage of this uncertainty and using it to carry out deadly attacks on the water in the tribal regions. and now, as we've seen in major city this particular terrorist attack apparently was targeted against chinese nationals. and they apparently had a particular reason to try to d stabilized china type inside of the friendship and cooperation. we need to come down such terrorist attacks against chinese nationals and against the innocent people in pakistan. and we also need to do whatever we can to make sure that china, pakistani friendship and corporation are strengthened rather than we couldn't by

such terrorist attacks. and that is a rap if you'd like to del, deeper into any of those stories. may i suggest r t dot com as your go to destination? i'm, you know, neil, goodbye, l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at that point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with

a robot must protect its own existence with with industry to restore. just look up for a muscle around noon. she doesn't being in the green shield on a nice to me as close to mom cook go through 6th grade to somebody to look up. but i put his ashley uh this morning to work with me for one move please. this sort of cool, jason to pick it, can you bring up the chain of times in the pro furnished or something like that and then we got that for then that might be worth it. i have some great news to have

that a ah, i'm absent retention, you're watching going underground team and i will be back soon with a brand new look, despite nato nation in the you, censorship. but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite chose a for season so far. ah, i'm after tanzania watching, going underground. while the world is arguably fixated on, the ukraine crisis today is 11 years to that a say father's lamb, the son of murdered libyan leader. mama,

gadhafi address libby and stay tv wanting the demonstrations could lead to civil war. in libya, it appears that these woods were to be prophetic. as africans, riches per capita, country descended into instability and humanitarian crises. however, it is libby as history from foreign rule, occupation of poverty to independence show a way to a peaceful future for the country and his britons ro key. joining me now for a special edition of his show from here in london to discuss this is rupert, we locked the former commander of british forces in libya and author of liberating libya, british diplomacy in war in the desert. thank you so much. i rupert for coming on, anyone would think a senior british commander would have written the book just about the 2011 a.
