is relations with russia should be rebuilt. talk about a united messaging problem. this is akin to say to say to craig, the west was destroyed with gary and businessmen paid for told with rushes, gowns prom today is often most go stop supply and gas to bulgaria over the countries with days of pay and variables. we have some local who are bearing the brunt of the backlash to fly, expect it to have a catastrophic effect. prices will grow up more. so that's the way it will be. i think it will be extremely bad for us, but what i'm waiting for is the government to resign because we cannot expect anything good from the current one. us plans to fees russian assets to funds. he has war efforts, but maintains a freeze on the afghan money despite the un warning, the millions in the country face starvation. one of the one that goes on which is horrible. you have bread one day and the other day you don't. this is all because

of the americans were wandering around, were broken to you guys have witnessed all these recent events, how the americans made our lives miserable. and today we are paying the price of their bad policies and plans, plus new video with to $911.00 hijackers partying with the saudi national with the alleged ties to reality. intelligence is released find us media relations between the countries reach breaking point a very well in welcome. this is auntie international with the latest news update is good to have you with this i was even told that with a gas prom, that's the message from the bulgarian deputy prime minister after a meeting with top business men and sophia, please. the talks with the rushing gas company comes off. the bo gary has stopped russian energy importance. 2 days ago, what we discussed and what we suggest according to my employees,

is that the government do everything possible to restore talks with guess from and deliver the contract. well, just to give you a sense, there is no emergency when it comes to immediate gas supplies in bulgaria, despite the fact that russia has stopped those supplies. but to give you a sense of how problematic it could be in 2020 ohms, 3 quarters of all of the gas that the country in port it came from russia. so this is a big deal, at least in the long term. now there is that pressure, mounting politically for the government to try and reverse this decision to acquiesce to that demand from russia to pay for the gas in rubles, rather than in euro's or dollars as it was paid for previously in the long term bulgaria can. of course, look to get deals elsewhere, but right now, immediately it has to work out what's going to happen or it could see severe economic blues to the country. poland has now also seen its gas supplies directly from russia being halted because it too,

is refusing to pay for that gas in rubles. and that is something that is concerning, not just the politicians, but people on the streets. no, i think it will be extremely bad for us, but what i'm waiting for is the government to resign. i expect new elections and a new normal government because we cannot expect anything good from the current one . i expect it to have a catastrophic effect. prices will grow up more. that's the way it will be. i, i think this is the government's job to consider and resolve the problem. that's what they are going to do. in fact, they will resolve it. you said it did has become clear that we can get gas from europe, but at a higher price. so i do not believe it's an appropriate solution if gas is halted from russia. let's not forget that many you countries will pay in roubles to get gas from russia despite the imposed sanctions. as i understand it, we will not do so. lucille, it is difficult for me to imagine how we will continue to live with such increases

. i think that this will lead to an increase in poverty or the impoverishment of society in general. for people it will be, it's a harder no aggressor, prices will room room increase. yes, i think that the rising prices are worrying a soul, but we believe that we will deal with it and that these increases will be quite bearable for us. now we've heard for a while in countries calling for an end on dependency on russian energy. and in the last 2 months or so, since systems that were in ukraine that those voices have been getting louder and louder, demanding an immediate halt to bind any fossil fuels. whether that's coal, oil, all natural gas from the russian federation. we're even hearing voices who is saying exactly the same things, such as top or politicians. ursula on the line, and you sit brow all suggesting that russia is ready to use gas as a form of blackmail. darrell interruption of gus applies to poland and bulgaria is

raising tensions a little more. that is why we must avoid dependencies that make us vulnerable. we have to get rid of the dependency of russian fossil fuels and for that we need massive massive investment in renewables. so poland is one of the countries that's really been particularly vocal about this ban on all imports of russian energy. in fact, the country has gone out of its way to criticize other. you countries that don't want to do that straight away, such as germany know germany, which has a very high dependency on russian energy said look, we are going to try and reduce it. however, doing it immediately could lead to a recession. it could lead to mass unemployment. it could lead to poverty in our country. what's not good for the german economy will have something that will resonate potentially across the rest of the you. so some have questioned whether this payment in rubles could be a breach if you sanctions,

but officials and ambassadors saying that the advice that's come from the european commission has been pretty unclear on this. at some point. so the last few weeks, the commission has said, look, if companies will to open accounts with gas from bank pay in euro's or dollars, and then that money is converted to euro's that would be completely ok. it's also come out and say, no, this doesn't breach a sanction. so companies are in a situation not feeling particularly clear. it seems that poland is still buying gas from russia all be now it's happening to do it from germany. which kind of gives you a sense of where some of these other nations, like germany have been coming through. i'm form is that they just not ready for the consequences of turning the taps off to russian energy. just now, austria as a full mascot on foreign affairs current kenesaw believes bo gary is dependence on russian gas imports remain strong. in the case of by guerria,

it is evident that that's, that's been very strong. connection to russian gets employed by various definitely a case at stake, also given the the rather low purchase power off the average for the air in citizen. and i remember that in by the area we have seen over the last 15 years, et cetera, instances, social unrest because of high and tricity bills because of high utility prices to topic that is very close to the average given citizen i would say. and i can also imagine that officials are especially sensitive to the topic because they're very, very specific history, recent history. elsewhere in europe. yes. another country, spain seems to be caught up in an energy trap without jerry, one of its main gas appliance threats. thing to suspend, impose the house of energy importance is not only causing havoc in spain,

but also move wilka, one of spain's chief trading partners. and a neighbor of algeria relations between algeria. morocco took a dive. last year off, the algae cut all ties to this african neva along with one of its pipelines and its now spain. the supplies were ocho with the gas, which still comes from algeria. austria is the minister of foreign affairs. current needs will again say so jerry, as was all says unlimited a jewelry, a has been a traditional supply of natural gas for spain, much more for spain and italy done, for instance, france rogers or sometimes difficult sometimes very strong relations. but julia has come back on t chan, looks from an e u point a few like effect may be a little bit ironic out. people are looking on the map and they're, well, we don't want to have for gas for russia. so let us look for gas and where and you rehab it, north africa. so a cheerier has gained some attract dignity and everybody speaking

a jury on once again. but let us also bear in mind, sure, it has all its production limits. it's. it's a country that as an oil producing member country of optic is, is facing. it's your logical limits. i have, i've no insight in its current potential as a gas producer and gas ex border. but i know that it has been facing limits in particular when it came to toy production with the last years went out for the latest on the conflict in ukraine. russia's defense ministry that his 4th is hon. destroy the ukrainian toast. can you ballistic missile launcher, which has been used the target residential areas in the ukrainian city of cousin on thursday, several missiles with her and he finds onto the tv tower that were intercepted by russian at defense systems. no casualties were reported enough attack. while there

was also commented on its own, strikes, the 8th military sites in kias, russia's defense ministry as it used high precision missiles to destroy a ukrainian weapons factory in the city. here the officials came, a residential building was damaged in not to tax with one person killed under these 10 others injured as russia presses on with its military operation and ukraine, a new is killing. the british media has painted a bleak picture as years of global instability as a result of the war. this comes from it western efforts to keep feeling the conflict with west it, with weapons supplies to keith. but even some traditionally pro ukrainian commentators the not questioning the ramifications the war ukraine has experienced that back in the past few days, a senior ukrainian official announced yesterday that russian troops had taken part of the khaki region. yesterday. russia announced that it has captured the entire care san region. no ukrainian advance is not good to day is another grim day for

ukraine. and as much as i understand your anger, dear ukrainians, i'm gonna report what's happening. not what you would like to happen. better times will come hopefully. but right now, russia has crushing the ukrainian defense in many areas. meanwhile, nato's chief stays the war might try gone for years. again. stoughton berg is still promising to arm ukraine with high tech military equipment used by the u. s. lead block. so we will continue to put the maximum pressure on press them truth in a to end the war by imposing sanctions by providing or co nomic support for those military support to, to ukraine. i'm in need to be prepared for the long term. so it's a very unpredictable, i'm from the georgia situation in ukraine about this. absolutely the possibility that this war will drive on a loss for months and years. so we are now nathan natal,

i lost our preparing to provide support over long periods of time and also help ukraine 2 to 2 transits or move from old solvent era equipment to more mold on nato standard. so fall nato supplies you find include on munition, on defense of equipments like anti tank and cropped missile systems. us lawmakers have passed a new bill to facilitate the lending of currently unused american military equipment to kim washington says it has already sent more than $3000000000.00 worth in age to ukraine until you find in has requested the congressional approval of another 33000000000 however, the us president maintains his country doesn't want to get directly involved in ukraine and is not fighting a proxy war against russia despite the disturb rhetoric coming out of the criminal and the facts are playing for everybody to see. we're not attacking russia, we're helping ukraine defend itself against russian aggression. so it shouldn't

come as a surprise to any one that he is hiding behind the rhetoric of peace. because as we saw in iraq, as we saw in study and honest on at the united states likes to play an honest broker. when in fact it has been nothing but an honest broker. i think that's pretty obvious this. this has been a long term objective since possibly as early as 1991 with the unified unification of germany, the expansion of nato. ultimately, ukraine has been the week under valley of russia, as have been identified by the united states for quite a long time. and really the, the u. s. subject curve in this war, i think maybe 3 fold, ultimately to strengthen america's position in its unit polarity moment. to weaken russia and ultimately be stabilized europe at the cost of ukraine. well,

as we mentioned earlier, j by there was to send more money abroad and military aids to ukraine to spice. and he can only decline at home with the u. s. g d, p displaying gets worse performance and is eating some of the us presidents critics to say he's putting america last instead of 1st joe biden, once another $33000000000.00 for ukraine. when does it end? does he expect the taxpayer to rebuild ukraine to after the war is over? how much will that cost? just in biden wants to send $33000000000.00 to ukraine. i say, hell no, not a dime should go overseas, especially while america's economy is in decline. no more america last policies. timing is certainly notable right now because when we look at the data, it's adding to the increasing concerns for the u. s. economy. and yet it seems as though the u. s. government is more concerned about ukraine. in fact, right now,

as president biden calls on congress to approve another $33000000000.00 and funding for ukraine, congress is also calling on by then to sign off on the return of the lend lease act . now that's a world war 2 era program, which essentially allows us companies to provide new weapons and equipment for allied countries like ukraine, without traditional government oversight, and without any promise or plans to immediately pay for those weapons and equipment . so that seems to be where congress has their focus. but then at the same time here in the united states, the latest data shows that the us economy shrank unexpectedly in the 1st quarter of 2022 with gdp falling 1.4 percent. now the main culprit here has been supply chain shortages, and that's incredibly notable because biden even said when he was announcing unprecedented sanctions against russia earlier this year,

that there would be an impact on global supply. however, even though we're not seeing the strong us economy, that by then as attempting to sell to the public, he still claims he is not concerned. well, i'm not concerned about recession. i mean, you're always concerned about recession, but the g, d, p, you know, from the 1.4 percent. but here's the deal. we're also had last quarter consumer spending and business investment, residential investment increased in significant rates, both per easier as well as hard products. and it's not just by the top, mainstream media outlets here in the u. s. are also trying to downplay concerns, arguing that americans should be instead, be focusing on how much the economy has grown since 2020, when it essentially came to a standstill. now all of this comes in the majority of americans have said that they are concerned about inflation remaining 40 year hide,

and they are concerned about the state of the us economy. we know that we now have the mid term elections coming up in just a few months yet, while americans have made it clear where they want their focus to be. it appears as though bite and remain focused on making sure that you crane has a host of new weapons. the u. s. house has overwhelmingly passed a bill legalizing the seizure of russian assets in america, so the money can be sent to ukraine. some representatives, however, claim the measure is unconstitutional. giving joe biden unilateral authority to seize property in the united states without any due process sets a dangerous and disturbing precedent. the bill provides essentially no evidentiary standards for assets. seizure contains 0 measures to ensure transparency and accountability. the bill effectively gives the president a blank check to fund poorly defined democracy and human rights programming and monitoring this vote as president biden to violate the 4th amendment sees private

property and determine where it would go all without due process. the new legislation allows for the seizure of assets with more than $2000000.00 belonging to those supporting russia, the liquidated resources of, and used to help you crane, including for the purchase of weapons. moscow has called to move a legal and has promised a response. the u. s. initiative has found support is a close the atlanta with the irish foreign minister saying dublin could allow the use of a 1000000000 euros in frozen russian assets to rebuild ukraine. american radio host on elliot as they used to move by western countries will only punish civilians. united states government is going to the constitution and fries assets of a foreign government. but it cannot turn around and use those assets that are ceased to distribute a 3rd party. so i would think this would need an act of congress, or we need an act official act from you'd be applied to administration and signing

a consent decree to do that. i'm not sure. oligarchy. perform any other service other than i can be. i think it's a pretty picture to see. so you are. i don't know that the oligarchy have any type of influence over the russian military, over the russian government, over the russian and challenges. i think it is the intention of the united states in the countries in the west to common russia. regrettably, when you punish a nation for the activities of a government, it trickles down to effect the russian citizens and little fact them as far as cost . so the increase in it will be some suffering to people at large. and that's very unfortunate. won't you? i thought i didn't say it's russian assets in the u. s. should be seized for the sake of helping ukraine un human rights explosive code in washington to end it for ease of afghan state. as it says they could be used to have an economic collapse and wines by starvation in the country. mr. lot, there are currently too many economic problems. my monthly salary is only 5500 f

ganges, but sometimes it is not enough even for my medicine. i don't know how to feed my kids how to pay rent. somewhere along the column each day is horrible. you have bread one day and the other day you don't. this is all because of the americans were wandering around, were broken. my hand is not working. i pray for the strength of the taliban government to handle this misfortune caused by the americans and to serve the afghans. because i come and i have 7 children, my husband, his jobless work, no life. so i do laundry in a neighbor's house to support my family and find a morsel of food for my children. you guys have witnessed all these recent events, how the americans made our lives miserable. and today we are paying the price of their bad policies and plans the by did administration has frozen nearly $9500000000.00 enough as belonging to the afghans central bank. that's off the taliban. the takeover in the wake of the hasty u. s. military withdraw last year in february bind and issued an order that part of

the funds be used for purposes within the us. instead of tackling the humanitarian crisis in afghanistan, receiving the central banks, funds is left the african economy teetering on the verge of collapse. the united nations has warned the desk honest on could reach a ne, universal poverty rate of 97 percent within months. half of off guns are already on the brink of starvation with more than 4000000, haven't been internally displaced. we discussed the situation with an african activist on politician mohammed derek marquee, who says that washington has a long history of seizing foreign assets. george w bush, obama and trump killed us guns by bombing them. wire by then killing us guns indiscriminately by depriving them of basic human needs which is food. and economic sanction has been a devastating effect on the common people has been so severe that people are

selling their kids, you know, the, for other kids to survive. basically what the americans are doing is there a benjamin tully t u d. nito got bogged down and basically were defeated, enough gun is done and in order to get even they want to, you know, use the post world war 3 institutions of economic control mechanisms. and deprived of their basic needs united states in his studio. uh, no, behaving like a tv, you know, whenever they take over other people's money on well and so forth, they keep it until you know, until whatever that excuse is. as satisfied as us strategic relations with saudi arabia, which new life, american news tv channel,

cbs release is for th, at to 911 hijackers with us now. the national, who allegedly has connections with we had intelligence like come to, we come to a bombshell at the, i'm a poor stating that the man might have had a nonce, knowledge of the attack. and he's kind of more pain looks, but he's house sizes in the united states, and saudi arabia seemed to be going a bit sour. and that gives the united states chance to play a car. that particularly hurts 9. 11. cbs has now dropped a video of one of the hijackers partying with a saudi national back in 2000 newly released video turned over to family members of 911 victims last month, along with more than 14000 pages of documents the evidence to obtain from british authorities raises new questions, actually renews an old one. did the saudi government assist the hijackers on 911? the saudis have always denied that explosive question. saudi arabia is now repairing its relationship with iran. embassies should soon be reopening and their

respective capitals. that's a move that cannot be favored by the united states. a month ago, we found out about a long suppressed f. b. i report that a saudi national was spying on the united states on behalf of prince bandar, the information about you may obtained on persons of interests in the saudi community in los angeles and san diego, and other issues, which meant certain general intelligence presidency requirements would be forwarded to vander vander would then inform the general intelligence presidency of items of interest to the general intelligence presidency for further investigation, vetting or follow up. the report concluded that this spy could actually known of the terrorists deadly plans that the f b i kept is hidden for years. now that report dropped a month ago when the white house was going ahead to head with re odd over oil price negotiations. in vain, there was some expectation of a phone call,

but it didn't happen. it was part of turning on the spigot of saudi oil. it's not bad that more information about a deadly terrorist attack that killed thousands of americans and the perpetrators and some of their shady connections is being released. but what is concerning is that it seems like the deaths of thousands americans and finding out the truth about how it happened is turning into a bargaining chip. why was this information not released a long time ago in order to help prosecute those responsible for a deadly crime? why is it now being released as a point of political pressure? now let's be fair. i think if we had an honest government, this material should have been out in the open a long time before. this is not so much. why are they releasing it? but why haven't they really stood up till now? if they're looking for a way to alienate reality, even further, this is a very short way to do it. the so these are brutally realistic when looking out for their own interest and the current context. they can see that with the weakening of american global power that russia is strengthening. china is strengthening us

relationship with saudi arabia and good between the buy demonstration and saudi arabia. as a record flow, if they think they're going to force and so to radio, to get back on the american reservation, i think this is actually going to alienate them further. the german government is refusing to pack a motion that would make the 8th of may the official day to commemorate the country's liberation from the nazis. as a commonly celebrates in europe, as the victory in europe day, which marks the moment in 1945 when germany signed an active unconditional surrender to german states already commemorate may 8th as the day of freedom. but on thursday, a majority of the gen and parliament failed to support a proposition from the countries left party. russia commemorates defeated the nazis on may, 9th company known as victory day 11000000 soviet. so just to let the fight to

liberate europe from fascism died during the 2nd world war, formalist party and p. d to dame believes that the german government should be ashamed at this decision. very startled day when our former president of germany bishop from white sick a 1st time in german history mentioned the 8th of may as the day of liberation and the till them it was the day of being national be of a defeat or anything like that. but from that moment on, it was official that this day was day of liberation from the fascist and when the officials and the authorities in germany of go behind that point of our former president bush at provide seka. this is something to be ashamed of in the moment they tried to succeed and succeed and to have victory after the next

victory in the over the the public knowledge is the public emotions. we should be thankful, a father for the freedom and the 27000000 people who were murdered in german name. and i think we should also continue respecting the, the big events, the big, the, big if the big power which was spent to pre germany on that on that in that walk. many thanks. thank even as company here and see and to national this friday. so from may 20 most stories to be found on our web site, author dot com with the

was secretary of defense lloyd austin says he will move heaven and earth to assist to gray. at the same time, the e was foreign policy cheap exclaims relations with russia should be rebuilt. talk about a united messaging problem. this is akin to say to say to craig, the west was destroyed. ah, i can understand why russia would feel uncomfortable with nato coming closer and closer to his borders. but that's why i think this is an issue that could have been should have been resolved at the negotiating table. but let's be honest, you frame was not given the kinds of weaponry, and it's still not being given the kinds of weaponry that pose a threat to moscow or russian territory that is simply a false claim. ah

ah, british judge has blocked the extradition of wicking leaks, founder julian assigned to the united states congress. will he risk wells and before a judge ruled against extradition? because january, 4th, 2021. the latest chapters being written in london in a case that has made headlines time and again for 10 years. for the u. s. prosecutors are hackers on trial, a public enemy and cyber terrorist for others, a pioneer of investigative journalism on whose fate press freedom in the west could depend on the assumed case. busy you say all you who war with.
