is the little gear lation says diesel tutorial, gumbo sub a ah, us senate approves sending $40000000000.00 in a to ukraine despite the objections of some lawmakers to say that there is a dire need to tackle america's own problems. first, this is the most advanced and oven god, position of the people, republics. forces. just outside of, of dave from over here, it's less than 500 meters to the positions of the ukrainian forces. corresponding reports from the dumbass front line. we're done. yes. the forces resist the

ukranian army, a strategic position, and say it's time to make an advance. beijing proposes expanding the bricks alliance with argentina positioned as a top candidate to join the rising powers of brazil, russia, india, china, and south. back with broadcasting live direct for our studios in moscow. this is our international. hi, john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with the latest on the war in ukraine, multiple residential areas in russia's course, creegan, near the ukrainian border have reportedly come under intense, showing by ukrainian forces no casualties have been declared as of yet. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry announced that at least 770 ukrainian troops surrendered at the as of stall steel factory in mario on thursday. bringing the total to $1730.00 fighters who have capitulate also on thursday. more

than 13000 people were evacuated from high risk areas in ukraine and the don bass republics. joe biden has said that the u. s. will provide more military assistance to give, including artillery and rates. the u. s. senate has approved a $40000000000.00 aid package to ukraine despite republican lawmakers warning that there is a serious lack of opening that money might end up you asking price inflation and other problems that aid money would be better spent at home. and or if people are going to have a proxy war, and we're going to get $40000000000.00, the ukraine, because we want what all fancy, what are blue and yellow ribbons? feel good about ourselves. maybe we should actually have a debate in this chamber. a debate in this body because the american people expect us to do that when the border of this country is wide open and cartels have control of it. and fennel is pouring in and we have $30.00 trillion dollars a diesel. and we go blank check, $40000000000.00. and by the way,

i'm looking at my colleagues on this side of the aisle on that same point. that concern has been echoed by many americans. has gasoline prices have surged across new us, recorded at $4.00 or more per gallon in all 50 states this week? many americans have voice should solve their own country's problems. first, stock market is crashing. i'm for another 40000000000 for ukraine. if our elected officials had to pay for their own gas, i bet they would find a solution to the rising gas prices. meanwhile, back in our country, gas prices at highest level ever and rising. babies have no formula, store shelves, empty supply line crisis, southern border, a mess, highest inflation in decades. u. s. energy secretary, jennifer granholm tried to blame sewing inflation in america and brushes president vladimir putin and accusation that republican senator josh holly described as nonsense. and you can thank the activity of latimer putin for invading

ukraine and pulling those with all due respect. madam secretary, that's utter nonsense. january of 2021. the average gas prance 8 months later, price was up over 30 percent and it has been going up consistently. since and unlike previous u. s. a packages, this time there is no stipulation against sending weaponry directly to ukraine's neo nazi as off battalion. don't you kill him up and comments? the state has just passed a 40000000000 dollar aid package to ukraine. now it's important to know that previous us a package is ukraine, providing weapons and other supplies have do not end up in the hands of the notorious as our battalion, the neo nazi fighting division and ukraine. none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms training or other assistance to the off battalion. now what's particularly disturbing is that this recent package does not

include this language. does not specify that the as a battalion cannot. ready receive assistance from the united states. what more it appears that weaponry from nate. dell has apparently ended up in the hands of the battalion already. you look at the as a battalions official, twitter, they seem to be highlighting weapons like a match or. ready which is an anti tank weapon that has been among the weapons that nato has provided to you grand peers, they may already be getting their hands on on us weapons at this point. and we also have us official saying they don't know where these weapons they send you grain, go on and know who ends up, getting them in terms of our ability to track the weapons that are going in. as you know, we don't have any forces on the ground, so that's it's difficult for us to do. i couldn't tell you where the weapons are in ukraine and whether the ukrainians are using them at this point. they're not

telling us every round of ammunition they're firing and who and when. now it's important to note the united states is the top ex, border of weapons in the world, u. s. arms flow across the planet. there are many instances of us weapons ending up in the hands of problematic individual. when the u. s. they withdrew from afghanistan. recently, we saw the taliban get his hands on some u. s. high grade military weapons in hardware. and that was in the hands of the taliban. we've also seen in mexico drug card, often armed with sophisticated u. s. military grade weaponry. so around the world, us weapons often do end up in the hands of problematic individuals. this is something that many people around the world are seriously concerned about is the usa continues to escalate its anti russian rhetoric. the united states continues to pour weapons into ukraine. who mind these deadly weapons? we heard from civil rights attorney, robert patillo, who says countries must track any weapons they supply to

a foreign country to be sure to know in whose hands they end up. well i think this is absolutely a mistake. we saw it happen in levy of ghana saying we're nearly $9000000000.00 a web re i was left on the ground there. we have no tracking mechanism for where these weapons are going. it will go into so not simply the battalion, but the random ice is in the middle east, north african drug cartels they're working for the region will be able to buy on the black market. many of these highly advanced weapons systems that normally say government and state actors have access to things that are going to be of national concern over the course and not simply the firm engagement, but over the course of the next decade. see where these weapons end up have real questions as to exactly where the, why we're per item this level of assistance. what are the strategic goals and advantages here up, we just got out of 20 years of war and united states of america is mere little appetite and incidents 3 to return to active conflict anywhere on this globe. so

we're going to be a even pass a participant in the consul, you're really have to go to the american people. explain exactly what you're doing . next, a report from the done by the front lines close to the city of danielle scar correspondent visits positions of dpr forces tasked with holding a strategically important area. as they say, it's time to make an event or go to journals for us. this is the most advanced, and ivan, god, position of the the net people republics forces. just outside of, of dave, come from over here. it's less than 500 meters to the positions of the ukrainian forces. right now this is a defensive position. so they are holding their ground and their artillery is firing well, to basically, to suppress any sort of resistance that may come from that side. but well, people over ukrainian fighters over there, they respond regularly. and this position is being shelled well daily

across the field. a maze of trenches reinforced with concrete and dug some 3 stories deep into the ground. on this side, the ground is dented from the bombs and shells coming down from keeps forces. but as often as the target, the front lines, the ukrainians also bombed in that city itself was 2 cookie pies. if what weapons did the ukrainian force use ordering of thought, they have quite capable weapons, including flame throwers and mortars, also long range artillery. they have entrenched themselves extensively. the net leader nets republics, forces are firing back relentlessly in a bit to keep the enemy artillery at bay window for jordan, colleen, and articulate. anybody, you know, from the north and the east russian troops are attempting a pencil movement against the ukrainians and of day of the primary objective of the

militia. here is to hold the ground until the village is fully encircled, preventing any one from breaching the perimeter. but the garrison is thirsty for a fight. poor things are quite intense here on the front line. so far we are doing fine, but we should be advancing with him. we don't actually have much time. most of the troops here are veterans who have been fighting against caves, forces since 20 for team, for them this war is unfinished business and they are determined to get it over with once and for all. how many there's done a reporting from the don bass artsy. the briggs group of countries spending more than 40 percent of the world's population is expected to welcome new members. as china has post, opening the doors of the alliance, china proposes to start the bricks expansion process, explore the criteria and procedures for the expansion and gradually form a consensus. a currently, the bricks group includes brazil, russia, india, china,

and south africa. the block games to encourage economic, political, and cultural cooperation between its states. a potential new member is argentina, which has been invited to attend an upcoming summit of the alliance. other current members have back to china's proposal and pledged to discuss the matter further. also during a recent bricks meeting, china's representative called on nato to negotiate with russia and ukraine and condemned western attempts to isolate certain countries. we heard from rental oldman, chief editor of the independent news website, upper moody. he thinks it would not be a problem for any of the current bricks member states to welcome margin tina into the block. i think we have a really good chance is i think that brazil is lula, is elected president in october. i think that brazil should be in favor. i think

that russia ruby had no problem with u as in tina integration to the brakes. i don't, i don't, don't see why south africa would be contrary the most delicate issue. i think of the b deceptions of india politically closer to the u. s. a interest and political management breaks is a from the mental institution they think for building a move to paula order for design the way for developing count trish to break free from the institution such as the international monetary fund and the. busy wall old bank controlled by united states and european union brick expansion can help developing cat nations that currently depend on the dollar base. it financing says quit. that's my idea about

india has defended its decision to restrict wheat exports, saying it's a supplies of the staple. food should go to those within the region who need it most. it has accused rich countries of hoarding food, while poorer countries struggle in a situation, much like covered vaccines that failed to reached impoverished areas necessary for all of us to adequately appreciate the importance of a good di, affordability, and accessibility. when it comes to what grades we have already seen to our grade cost, how these principles were disregarded. in the case of cobra, 9 in vaccines, open markets must not become an argument to perpetrate any good to any gritty and promote discrimination. india has said the restrictions are necessary to control rising domestic prices after a heat wave effective grain crops. but the u. s. has slammed the move as an ill advised decision that will disrupt international market and potentially push up

prices even further. china, on the other hand, has supported india position, saying that blaming developing countries like india won't solve the global food crisis. india is the world's 2nd largest we producer, but if share in the global export market is rather average or to contributor in india r t. t cool tells us more about why the wheat export restrictions were in post. india imposed a van own delete exports in view of the inflation and inflationary prices, or reach especially because of the overall inflation caused by the court or no by this band to make and the disruption in supply change. in the last 2 years, the inflation is also an outcome of the heat wave in the country, which india suspects is going to bring down b reach production in the country apart from this remotely. then also made

it very clear that india was going to keep its commitment to the nations rich have asked for our which are already been committed for b, r read gains. in fact, a just last year, india exported 7500000. done all we did the nations that detect committed itself to add in just last one months. india exported 1500000 downs of wheat. this is really more than what india has been generally exploiting. in fact, india is not a huge exposure of wheat, greens. instead, if the european nations and nasha and nuclear, which are the biggest exporters of green and yet india has gifted scott mc,

meant with all the poor nations in need of lead. green's former usaa president george bush in what he dismissed as a slip of the tongue condemned the quote, unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq even quickly declared. he meant to say you crave naughty rock response human rights watch described as before, the slip of the century. the decision of one man to launch a holy, unjustified, and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean, of ukraine or rack. i mean, the ukraine director anyway. the 75 which is 2003 envision of iraq is estimated to have led to the deaths of at least 200000 people. we heard from international law professor francis boyle, who has examined a legit war crimes by us troops in iraq. he says,

bush should be in prison, concerns me is b audi and saw laughing about it. and if you hit us mainstream news media this morning, many pundits are laughing about. there is nothing funny about what happened here. this was an outcry. gression nuremberg crime against peace. despite the figure you put up there. as far as our investigations have been able to determine this war, killed about 1500000 iraqis, outright, genocide and 5000 of us military personnel most should be in jail. the number of nato soldiers stationed near russia borders has reached 40000. that is nearly 10 times more than it was before the war

. in ukraine, nato has been bolstering its eastern positions after the ukraine conflict erupt at 3 months ago, and finland, which borders russia as well as sweden, have asked to join the western military alliance. moscow has continually emphasized for decades that nato expansion is a red line. meanwhile, turkey has refused to allow finland and sweden to join nato. and that has caused a whitening rift within the block with the president of fellow member state croatia . now also speaking out against the potential a session of the 2 nordic countries. creation president is around milosevic once his countries and parliament to vote against the proposed nato expansion. as western countries have failed to help creations resolve their political disputes with neighboring bosnia and herzegovina. the lot of which also has said that allowing finland and sweden to join nato would be a quote, very dangerous adventure. jo political em last appear. manual toman says that

a narrative has been fabricated against russia to stoke fears and maintained the british and us military presence in eastern europe. the narrative that to russia couldn't be a threat to, to need to member states is your sake narrative. because or actually your russia strategy is to secure its own security in the near abroad. it means or try to prevent any ne, to notch ment. unfold us. you saw him in the states a stationary bike states because the, or would you would be nato and her that be on 2 countries. well, or would you, nato member states are not threatened by russia. this is a, a fake narrative from b o. u. k. in united states to boost b. o no, a military spending and exposed suspicion for united states to europe. and

also to, to still maintain their presence in europe to me, to have in huge up full nato because so ne, 2 is a, an instrument of a gemini, of united states in europe. so we need to rush out to be seen as the threats. meanwhile, turkish president has reiterated his stance on preventing helsinki and stockholm, from joining the block. we do not want to make the same mistake twice, therefore we will decisively continue our policy. in this regard, we told our partners that we would say no to sweden and finland, nato membership. we will continue our path in the same direction on her claims that the 2 nordic countries support terrorist groups that have taken up arms against the turkish government. diplomatic sources say entre blocked process for nato expansion within hours after finland and sweden handed in their official applications. a former turkish military intelligence chief says on cra, is simply trying to protect its own national interests is poor. the conflict

between russia and ukraine is nato was not even considering the membership of sweden and finland. his whole issue is being promoted by the united states and the u. k. one western countries to stand united against russia. turkey has 2 good reasons to be against. the 1st is that it will lead to a conflict between russia and the west. and the 2nd, sweden and finland are providing strong support to terrorist group. sweden helps the current financial, but there are also other countries in nato that also support terrorism against turkey. and the united states is the 1st one to mentioned here. washington supports the current in their efforts to create a military stronghold or northern syria. therefore, in light of these significant security issues, turkeys strongly opposes the entry of sweden and finland and to nato. if those countries continue to support terrors, then why should turkey sit at the same table with them?

being members of one security organization means that each member is obligated to guarantee support and protection to others by supporting the kurds, swedes and many other countries are putting turkey in a difficult position. and my opinion, turkey has the right to talk about its security guarantees, and until this important issue was resolved on turkey, should stand his ground. ah, the european parliament has urged you to slap unprecedented sanctions on 2 former senior officials from germany and austria. german x chancellor. gerhard schroeder and former austrian foreign minister and con, cancel are in use cross hairs over their close ties with russia. if approved by brussels, the sanctions would be that used 1st against such high profile people within the block european parliament has also called on you countries to expand their sanctions further to include any european entrepreneurs and politicians who get

money from russia and hold senior in state companies there. moreover, the german parliament has suspended the privileges bestowed upon showed her as a former chancellor, both shoulder and excise alar on the board of directors of russian oil. major ross sniffed. brussels has urged them to abandon their positions in the russian company or face sanctions. including the freezing of their assets in the you, we discussed the matter with a panel of guests which so it shows that no compromise is long and the moment no real dialogue. because i think the sanctions anyway, they filter me up and mentoring if you believe in sanctions, usually things president by them for the was and see and other was all around the world. is a big question. if you look through international law, national law in unity, this only because he has done nomic,

person and time to russia is a, it's like mistreating every respect. and those charges on former petitions. i think this is the total and i thought totally unacceptable. a former chancellor of germany to be treated in such a way. i mean, i rather did a good job for her for, for germany when he was a chancellor i, she did everything possible to resolve the energy problems of germany. and he is asked to pay for that because he does not agree with the policies of the german government. i mean, every person has the right to has his own to has to have his own opinion. these sanctions to tell the truth. remind me a little bit of what was happening in germany in the 1900 thirty's. those who are

against mom. so then the nazi government were slowly, slowly pushed away, ended up in jail without their assets. so i hope we're not returning back to that time. so the e u is slowly becoming more and more. busy undemocratic, and i think that we might end up, i hope not, of course, that even speaking against the e. u by e, you citizens, it would become a criminal offense. i hope we don't be sure that that state while some new states have pushed for a ceasefire, ukraine, others have lashed out against those contacts with russia, with more on how baltic states have been putting immense pressure on german and french leaders and even suggested prolonging the war here is archie contributor, rachel marston, french president,

a man or in that home. and german chancellor will absolutely are facing pressure from baltic state officials over a perceived lack of appetite for continued conflict with russia over ukraine. it's not the 1st time that the baltic countries have tried calling the shots for the you . the representatives in brussels have her team the counter, including by the chief diplomat joseph bell, to engage with russia after a press conference alongside russian foreign minister, or de la in moscow in february of last year. morale was forced to explain why he called russia's weekly anti coven vaccine. good news for the whole mankind. and a hope you will prove it, which of course is still hasn't. by the way, we're also had to justify why he failed to insert himself in from rusty. ready domestic bears, by neglecting to adequately condemn the imprisonment of opposition. figure lexington. l need to the satisfaction of baltic states, and now the baltic states have paras amberlynn in their sites. it's don't mean prime minister kaya callas has said amendment my most recent call to live here for

here this month. i feel that everybody is constantly poly and he doesn't get the message that he is isolated. so if we want to get the message through that, actually you are isolated dot com. there's no point. sounds like advice you gave to a friend after being dumped by next. not exactly brimming with diplomatic savvy. and in april hole in from his hysterically criticised knuckles diplomatic reach saying, mr. micron, how many times have you negotiated with bruton and what have you achieved? have you stop to any of the actions that have taken place? nobody negotiated with hitler which negotiate with hitler was stolen with whole pot . i mean, jazz are all a schultz has found himself in the baltic crosshairs as well over germany's initial reluctance to flood ukraine weapons alongside as nato allies pressure to which the wounded stock ultimately gave in, in april weapons, expert foreign risk ending up on the black market. and you find various and non

state actors, germany and france represent the economic and military powers of europe. the united states, see them as the competition in these areas on the global playing fields. and constantly undermine some which is what this ukranian conflict is effectively doing. historically driven ideological ambitions of baltic states ought to have limits in light of real world economic consequences. germany and france have a right to their own foreign policy as sovereign nations. they are well aware that the longer this conflict in ukraine persists and the more economic damage done to europe's economy, true anti russian sanctions. the greater the chance that it will fall on berlin in paris to clean up the mass. and of course, get stuck with the bill just under 31 minutes. that's when i will be back with another full and fresh look new, say, with services or to internet with

the west drive to weaken in isolate russia is not working out. although, well, russia, the most sanctioned country in the world has an economy that is now stable and resilient. the west can say the same for its economies. in fact, the west is weakening, an isolated, so ah

ah ah.
