are getting more sovereignty and more freedom from the powers that they see as not really helping in the situation that is getting worse and worse, especially the chad has been under the influence of france for decades and the transition after the death of late president is debbie was not conducted according to the constitution. so i think this is probably the main reason why there is an anger in her child. and st. hundreds of chaldeans joined the anti french protest. they reportedly attacked symbols of their former colonial power, including several tal petrol stations. as frances influence wanes and his former colonies, recent processing countries, such as molly burkina, faso, neesha, of seeing calls for increased ministry ties with russia instead of france. you know, as a, to you, again, explains how france is losing grounds new powers?

well, you know, france has been treating chad as it's backyard or, you know, basically a colony since the end of the cold war, we've seen that friends have been presence in africa, has been receiving gradually and being challenged. we saw how they last, if you, once in are wonder, for instance, how many also in congo a little bit, the public, the credit republic of congo and many countries are switch from the francophone to english speaking, the commonwealth. and most recently, after the debacle in libya, we see some sort of a new scramble for africa. and we see new comers new powers trying to compete for presence in africa. and france is using ground more and more. and i believe this will continue. it's we, we know to send a new phenomenon in for the fresh colonies that we continue most probably right. phenomenon is peter scott's. i'll be back again at the top of the i with all the

latest news on views here on the international. thank you for watching with with hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter a little. the western narrative ukraine is winning and will win is crumbling. even the new york times it meets as much ukrainian military is collapsing, none the less, washington and its allies continue to pour in money and arms. it's crunch time for kit. ah. to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess,

george samuel in budapest. he's a podcast or at the guy which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow we have to meet bob. it is a political analyst and editor, and you know me, internet media project. i generally cross top roles. and in fact, that means you can jump any time you want, and i would appreciate i, let's start out with george in budapest. i'm sure you came across the tauriel piece and the new york times. and we see now cracks in this narrative that is all pervasive as a matter of fact enforced by. so social media that is much as they want to support the ukrainians. the facts on the ground are working against them and policy has to adopt to it. and it's basically kind of a shot over the bow of the, by the administration, asking them, or are you in touch with reality essentially, what did you take away from george? well, i think it's a clear indication of the, the divisions within the us lead. i'm obviously, if they're some of the people in the pentagon and in their intelligence, well,

giving realistic briefing, they say, look, this war is lost. there is no way you frame them when this war of course, goes in opposition to all the people in the state department, all of the lincoln's the new. and now the state reputation on this notion that your brain can win this war. this is also meeting with great possibilities in the u. k, where our french foreign secretary list again, came out with an article the other day saying we must win in ukraine unreservedly. you know, we was put in isn't in your grade. so there were deep divisions and even that at the tauriel that you referred to peter that enlisted that barry and b m and response among read it. we weren't told any of this. so i think there are deep

divisions and it's not yet immediately clear how these divisions get to play themselves out. well, the in the divisions are even more glaring because we have had, in the past few new cycles, brands, germany and italy openly saying there negotiations and start there has to be a diplomatic solution. which important is it odds with the saxon world that it really gung ho this trust here was mentioned that i think i sent you before. jordan, see not every time she opens her mouth test, positive for stupid, because especially with her editorials are so, i mean, we keep very united, broad. everyone's goal is obvious here, but the longer this goes on in the economic situation than europe grows or grave. i'm talking about energy and now the entire issue of global security is on the agenda in a very big way. so doubling down,

but who's doubling down and is this essentially an escalation and what they want go ahead. well, natalie or the will agree one. what does it mean you will be in the matter tomorrow in the world where you're all the want. ready to be wrong, they read the roles, the people i maybe you maybe so the war is not going where you whatever the right

people. i mean, you know, i was or you know, just people who, why read there would be in the rain that you shot from the all the new years with all the law we all. busy need to be made. so the way you want to go see j. r c. you re it's not only

did one of the all, and it's all in the year. and the reason, i mean it was a great environment. they why aren't you? we all right. ok, well live to george. it's a sad to a demand to say here, let's say the truth, let's say the obvious here, it's a military dictatorship right now. so you know, the mentor of, you know, we're supporting ukrainian democracy. well, political parties have been ban. there's only one television station, it reflects the, the government line here, and you have these lindsey graham types and lose trust type saying they're fighting for bomb is either right actually defending a military dictatorship,

but it does not allow descent and it's never filtered to western public because i truly believe that they were told the true condition, they would say no, no, we didn't, we shouldn't sign up for something like this. go ahead. george is even worse than a military dictatorship because at least if it were a military dictatorship, it would have complete. 8 over the country and then it would make the difficult decisions that it needs to make. so a reversal policy and just simply saying ok we've, we've tried blue, the war root, we fail. we're not going to assume peace. if you're a dictator, you can actually pull it off even though the public is sunday. i thought we were winning. now you tell us that we're losing, it's a little like him here. germany 980. could pull that off. but so essentially ukraine is a military dictatorship. that is not a monster of its own house. the st you crane is being wrong elsewhere. and it's the

powers that i go governing your brain from elsewhere that are pushing it to continue this fine. they continue, you know, whether it's less trust, lloyd austin, and they say, well, we have to defeat russia. how much you want, what's, what's, what's, what do you want? 20000000. 30000040100000000. government trillion. what do you want? we were ready to give you anything you want congress happy to sign off on any amount that you liked. so of course your grade is just going to keep saying, yeah, give us more more. i mean, it's a huge money laundering operation. so they're all, they're doing very well, and the ukranian people are just suffering as a result of military dictatorship with none of the benefits that come with a military dictatorship. well, when you brought a big money, because, i mean, now we're just going to, you're buying scam on steroids. i mean, there's a lot of money for a lot of people here. and of course, the way the,

the us government, the congress and the president taylor, this is basically no spring can do what you want with. i mean, this is really incredible. as you pointed out earlier, i mean there's every reason, but this will lead in their lives in the west to keep this going on as long as possible because you got a lot of money to spend it be done. all right. and before the war, you know, the same for us who you know, the same we're going to be and we're in the same you know, it's not on the

wall and where you go, you know, so he was, he was he was the government. ready i showed you, you're a, a, a, a,

a, this is all part of the rules based order. ok, that's one of the, you know, the one of the amendments to it here. george, it brings up a fascinating point. is that not only is ukraine being used as a cultural against russia, but the us and britain are using ukraine is a culture against the rest of europe. ok. little little puzzling ukraine is, you know, calling the shots and telling me you have to do this and you have the cop up for us here. i mean, it's really quite an amazing show and that's exactly what it is. it's a propaganda show. go ahead. it's probably going to show when it's all about reorganizing the europe. so he breaks it, britain, withdraw from the u. the u back been managed to get rid of britain because now britain gets to organize the, you know, in accordance with american wishes. so it gets rid of any kind of a,

whatever want to go to the european dimension. so clearly, all are scholes is something he's the sort of the best in the nation crash, whether it's in london or in washington, they just don't think that he's fully on board with, with the sanctions regime and, and everything else with arms delivers everything else with nature so i want to get rid of him, and i want to get rid of anyone at all in europe that we have a country voice. it's really all about the consolidation. if you the you, as a loyal lieutenant, you think that you creating officials like that would be speaking the germans without the blessing of washington? no, i really don't. i don't believe that you grain with talk like that about germany. i mean, the leading power in europe, the total such open content, but germany's leaders and the, germany's leaders meekly. exactly. so i think clearly, you know, they do,

they be encouraged from elsewhere. yes. so they keep the russians out, the germans, americans, it works in 2022, doesn't i got to jump in here. we're going to go to what you are breaking up some really say, ah, ah ah, with a a

a with a welcome back to cross top where all things are considered on peter lavelle. this is the home edition to remind you were discussing some real news. i

was go back to demo here in moscow. well, we had a really big media story over the last week and it was the mom, mary, opal finally fell of the still works. finally fell. but can you explain to us how western media and the ukranian government described on that event? i'm not going to put words in your mouth, but you know, it was called evacuation thought schema to make you will get all the more and all the remnants out of the surrender. right? so no question. and then i won't be there somehow.

you know, they will, they, they deserve you know, in the right people in the day. and so i was wondering what was the how and the region to me on the be 3 the people you are resisting. so there you

go, you know, the legal and the year was full of you know, then, you know, will be really want to know i will be. so they are, they are, they will be where people or q b well, of judge the way it was described, they said the vacuum ition, but nobody is allowed to use the word surrender because that would work against the

narrative because ukraine is winning. okay. and also upcoming war crimes trials, which is something that i think will shock the, the propaganda narrative of the west because there are soldiers involved. but they're also a neo nazi elements and the russian side for months when i understand these people will be charged for crimes against humanity, more crimes. and it's very well documented. they've been watching these people since 2014. exactly when dina was talking about george yes, no question incidentally. 2 the west, the media versus the new york time still hasn't been accepted, that mario as well. and so they write that according to the russian government, marianna is now under, has been completely free from the ukrainian ukraine. government has not confirmed and the times is not able to own the russian whenever the ukraine says anything

that's always acceptable when russia has to be independently confirm. i think that will be what struck, i doubt very much. those of the western media are going to give much coverage, much like the haven't given much coverage to the lot of fascinating information. the russians are providing about these bio labs in the ukraine. and it's a lot of very detailed information that they have on comment documents and everything. it's getting no, no traction in the with the media. what's, what is playing in west the media and again, a complete the distortion. and i think this is, this will play of a very big role as, as the economic crisis unfold this summer is here, this summer, russia is to blame for the food shortages, the energy shortages services, the in the, the west media or roger is blockading ukraine. sports now to

block a to poll, that is a serious crime. if russia were really doing blockading is really important. we would be really hearing about it. that would be a 30 big deal would be hearing at the united nations every day. and every international or possible. so the very fact that it's kind of slipped into use stories, not they know that this is untrue, but you still get the propaganda out there. the reason your brain is having problems getting. 1 stuff out through the black season that they mind, they have the black sea and when you mind the black save, no insurance companies are not going to handle any shifts because it's just too dangerous that they can't get anything out. so what is happening now is that the europeans, european union is going to lose ukraine. they're just going to get everything out of ukraine. all our agricultural produce, anything that up, you know, we're going to use that to pay for all the arms that we're giving you. so you will have lots of but almost certainly no food within a few months, you know, the,

you just going to lose everything. well, it's one of the, another curiosity, at least, as far as i'm concerned, i'm going back we are original comment is that the you is basically agreeing to pay the salaries of civil servants and government officials and ukraine. again, no reason to really want this thing to come to an end because those same officials not always paid on time or not. but now they're going to be guaranteed by the european union as we see increasing energy prices empty shells, supply chain, all of this going on, but the ukraine will be all right here. i mean, i can see we have, we have, we can get the millions of migrants that have left. greg got into europe here. i mean, you're, you're be in leadership is really bit off more than they can probably true because it's only going to get worse when you're preparing for when you do it now as we

speak right now, when you prepare for the next winter, they're not doing that right now, go ahead and do the game right now. with the baby oil. and again, tomorrow, a well radiant will. and then you re quiet the me. oh, you know, the reason why they declare the key factor. we switched on by whoa whoa

whoa, whoa, by the way, my so you? yes. store. you bottle the real all the way and the way things are getting wrong will be the be the rain. me back. everyone knows. all right, now, you know,

you can be you might be and then all, well, good. this is part of the, you know, rules based order. ok, that's the way where we're actually running out of georgia. i'm curious, i can comes in my mind the green new dealers, but this is really a bone for them. ok. everybody gets cold and everybody's this is part of the d industrialization year. i mean, they love ukraine for this because that's a good reason to cut off all this energy here. and of course, you know, when all that energy speaking turned off for some reason, there's going to be a lot more sunshine for solar and is going to be a whole lot more when, you know, i don't know where, why they think this, but i think they do go ahead and like you're right, it's actually very funny in that he shows up the fatuous miss all the green you do, basically there is no alternative to fossil fuels. so once you basically cut

yourself in fossil fuel, there's not, there's no way there's no energy. i mean is basically when you, german industrialism will come to our show. say we go nothing 0, you know, you cut us off from, you know, russian oil and gas. we're going to be back to where we were in 1940. 1 so all the talking with the sunshine. well it, it's nothing 0. i mean it's, it's never, there was only reliance on fossil fuels of living on the list of that. i think a big market with 44 who would have thought in 2022. the germans were implemented on there. and so, i mean, it was a really very well be happy, you know, great the nationalization,

but now this is supposed to be the economic powerhouse of europe. so as you are doing well and, you know, speaking of the green party here, i mean, this is one of the most wish of narratives i've ever seen from the president. i mean, there, there were the greens in germany. what are some of the most pro nato atlanta says the ball, but they're also new dealers. so, i mean, this is really, really twisted because for them to be pro nato, they have to have a lot of energy to fuel their tanks and all these other things. i mean, it's really wasted. it's almost, it's a frantic last 30 seconds. oh, well they say we have a i a i and all the time we have here when i think my guess in budapest

and here in mouse, going to think our viewers were watching a c a r t c. next time. remember? ah, i think it is very difficult for us to understand that the conflict generation also comes back on the generator some more formula. if you unleash some kind of project into a country of interventionist as it negatively this can. and me, in fact, the security of that country, ah ah,

ah, traits is the size of a truck and burned down military vehicles. as of style is the epitome of obliteration the exclusively films. the devastated landscape of the matter. you pull steel plant from the air after russian and dpi forces gainful control of the area. resident biding kicks off the quad summative nations by making the ukraine crisis among the key issues that he's named to get in the on board with punishing russia. ah, your medical as a state of emergency over the nationwide shortage of baby formula with existing supply chain disruptions aggravating the situation it's really, really hard to find it all over one more here.
