i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the headline stories this our ukraine followers. it's human rights commissioner in part for spreading on verified information about a legit russian war crimes. first statement had been widely picked up by western media outlets. the ukrainian n p faith kiev can't guarantee new rockets it's receiving from the u. s. won't end up targeting russian territory. the slide washing from claiming it has commitments from ukraine against the helping us encourages the e u to ditch russian oil. president biden appears a backtrack on the bowl pledge mulling buying the fuel at a cheaper price. the british citizen faces extradition to the us after allegedly

violating american functions on north korea, the shirt, his fears with r t, about the global impact of such. and i think it's right. there's some very, very warring concerns to, to the international community, to which those who should will, shouldn't the news from us go to the world. this is our grid to have you with us today. my name's unit. ukraine has fired it's human rights commissioner. in part for spreading unverified information about a trustee she alleged, were committed by russian troops in the country. her removal comes after her claim for a widely covered by western media. are senior correspondent, morocco, the it picks up the story. it includes some disturbing accusation, day and nights,

week's odd end months after month, the world over was barraged with stories horrific stories of rape and unspeakable acts committed, allegedly by russian forces in ukraine. in such acts of violence, raping children little girls, 11 years old, repeatedly in front of their mother's or repeat bathing their mothers and faces the children with each day more and more credible reports of re killing st torture are merging. if you so ensure you hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded, including under age girls, very young children and even a baby. it's just scary to talk about it. but it's true, it happened. women and girls right now are facing the worst kind of fear and violence. and we know already come from the analyses that have been done. they've been the victims and not just murder and rape,

but kidnapping. many of these stories grew to be unbelievable. and that's not a figure of speech. people including ukrainian officials of the government stopped taking them seriously. they became an embarrassment. so ludicrous were some of them . oh, go. the woman behind these stories, new neela denise of a, who was ironically, ukraine's human rights commissioner was fired a year before her term was officially up the unclear focus of the ombudsman media work on the numerous details of sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way and rape of children in the occupied territories that could not be confirmed by evidence only harmed ukraine. her stories became so ridiculous that even members of the ukrainian media, which, which itself is in war propaganda mode intervened 89 journalists together with 51 lawyers of human rights activists, and others penned an open let,

calling on her to dial it down. that the graphic stories published by ha about months old douglas being raped with a variety of objects to roil up the people that this was a productive or, you know, decent sexual crimes during the war or a tragedy of families. a difficult and traumatic topic. not a topic for publications. in the spirit of the scandalous chronicle. we are forced to trust the official information that comes from officials. the state of martial law a priori. we do not have the opportunity to verify it from other sources. in this way, we are spreading messages from the commissioner for human rights, in fact, taking them on faith. essentially, they us, that the stick to things that actually happened though all of these stories can be tracked back to denisa and that seem more specifically the social media posts made by them. and that's where all the trailed stop, almost all of her rape claims,

se ukrainian journalists are without evidence or witnesses. despite her own less than honest approach. denita that has been a vocal proponent for an international criminal tribunal to apparently bring russian troops to justice for things that she had lie. the bath, i think we should look at yugoslavia and rolanda. these are the examples that we all know about. there is the un international court of justice and the international criminal court. we need to push for the creation of a special tribunal. naturally, the niece of a has been blind to verify reports and footage of ukrainian troops murdering, torturing, and mutilating russian prisoners of war. and even ukrainian civilians deemed to be pro russia and o get the human rights apparently. but these telling isn't it when you own politicians who are bent themselves on making the russian seem as terrible as possible that they fly for being simply to outrageous. john,

continuing on murat pace. conservative talk radio host, steve. gail believes media outlets in the west are slowly beginning to question more than norris of coming from keith. you know, the allegations that this lady was putting out there were horrific was even more horrific as if they were just outright wise and intended to create a propaganda scheme that would drive people up and, and created an anti russia mentality around the world. again, based on lies there by europe and by latin america in africa that are going to be squeezed by the higher prices. so we're dealing with will stand. i think he must have thought that he was going to be able to squeeze rushes balance of payments. so much that russia would be desperate and the united states can say, well, ok, we know you need foreign exchange, we will pay you half of the normal price. and so he's trying to get a cheap deal. that would mean a profits for the american oil industry. just imagine of the american

o companies and the refineries goodbye russian oil cheaper. they would be enormously profitable, and the oil industry is the most powerful political lobby in the united states. so all russia could say is nice try, but i know cannula story to bring you. the pentagon head of cyber command has confirmed us military hackers are conducting offensive operations against rush over the conflict in ukraine. we've conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum, offensive defensive and information operations. we went in december 2021 at the invitation of the key government to come and hunt with them. we stayed there for a period of almost 90 days. well that's crossed now to scott ritter, scouts or former marine corps intelligence officer, an author. and let's get to see you. it's the 1st time american military officials

have confirmed hacking operations against russia during the conflict. scott, why do you think the u. s. cyber man now decided to declassify such information. i think the united states is under a lot of pressure to be seen as doing something to, to help ukraine. the, the situation on the battlefield is dire. you know, there, there has been, i mean, one of the things that joe next already talked about was the information warfare aspect of his, of his organizations you know, efforts. and so that's basically propaganda working with, you know, various intelligence communities with ukrainians. and he said we're seeing in the what we have is a situation where data is being bided to c, n n. and perhaps other media outlets. so what he said is shine a light on the problem immediately for the american public. but it hasn't worked because propaganda moves hot air, but it's no cold steel, that it feels the bodies on the battlefield and the russians have been providing

a lot of cold still, the business has been good in your brain. and so i think there's a need right now for people to step up and say, look, we're doing something, this is what we're doing. and you know, cyber is something everybody's been expecting a lot of russian cyber activity. there hasn't been much publicized about it. and i think maybe this is not sony's after just to, to take credit for that. in the british media interview, the general use, the expression offensive operations does not mean the u. s. was conducting, for all intents and purposes, a war well, there's no doubt. this is a cyber war, i mean, but let's split that, pretend that it hasn't been going on for some time. the u. s. has been carrying out office of cyber activity against russia for years in russia's been carrying out off of cyber activity against united states for years. it's been limited in scope and scale. we're not talking about, you know, full fledged cyber warfare. but you know,

he, he hinges what's going on. he said we went hunting, that means they, they sat down and give with their ukrainian counterparts. and i believe what they were looking for are the hacking tools of various russian or russian affiliated your hacking groups. so that they were going out, trying to exploit, you know, border abilities. they found it, shut these people down to penetrate them, to gather intelligence, to take proactive measures against these groups as opposed to waiting for them to reach out touch ukraine in the united states. europe and in others though it's so they went in and shut down the russian, you know, electric, you know, the power grid or tried to change traffic lights from green to read. i don't think it's that kind of off. it's opperation. i think what they meant is that they're proactively going out there and hunt down general threats, shut them down before they, they can attack. yeah. and the fact that information is being offered by the

general, as he mentioned, the hunt forward operations for one does not mean or suggest to it's overnight because so much is, is coming out about it know what it did. to be honest with you suggest to me is that have failed and that they're trying to spin, failure into success. look at this, if this operation was working, if united states was seen, you know, great results from this. you wouldn't be area worried about this. i mean, cyber is some of the most secretive operations undertaken, the fact that a 4 star general is speech to a foreign press outlet. bragging about capabilities means that it didn't work. and so they're trying to, they're, they've now they're falling back on their information warfare aspect, which is to try to spin failure into success. and like i said, there's a lot of pressure right now on the united states to be seen as doing something for ukraine. because what we have been doing isn't achieving the results that that we want. so, i mean, it's ironic that we're hearing about this, but believe me,

if it was succeeding, we wouldn't be hearing about that. even the fact that he's talking about it tells me they failed, they feel big. and this is a desperate effort to spin failure to success. and scott, just touching on another aspect of this, many western countries argued that they were only providing co defensive weapons to ukraine. is there in your mind, really a difference between defensive and offensive weapons? no, i mean what utils says you're defending or you're attacking an m. 16 is a defense, a weapon. you give it to me and my marines will hunt you down. it will kill you off of what high mars though, the rocket system that we're sending in can be used for defense of our office of its job is to kill. i think the, what you're basically when we talk about defensive or offensive weapons that are used within ukraine's territorial andries in response to russia, special military operation or being labeled as defensive weapons being that ukraine is using it in defense of russian actions. any weapons that are used to reach the

upside of ukraine and go into russia in a check, russian targets are russian soil. these would be characterized as options of let them so it's, it's not so much about the weaponry, it's about how they're being used. and this is where high mars becomes a problem because, you know, right now we have you creating forces operating in and around the city of cargo, less than 72 kilometers away in the russian city of belgrade. if you put high mars up by cargo, there's a great possibility could be used against a russian city that would make an un office of weapon. but if you pull back the 100 kilometers and simply fired against russian troops and ukraine, that becomes a defense of what. yeah, many thanks for breaking all the time for us. as always, scott ritter, former marine corps intelligence officer, author anonymous. many thanks. thanks. not a british citizen is facing extradition to the u. s. from saudi arabia,

after allegedly violating american sanctions on north korea. washington claims he illegally shared knowledge of crypto currency technologies with young young during a conference in the country. christopher douglas sentence is wanted for allegedly conspiring to violate the international emergency economic powers act, specifically conspiring to violate united states sanctions on the democratic people's republic of korea. by working with an american citizen to legally provide crypto currency, unblocked chain technology services to the democratic people's republic of korea. crypto currency expert christopher amas traveled to north korea and 2018 to participate in the conference the following year. a fellow speaker at the event u. s. national. virgil griffith was arrested by american authorities under the same charges, christopher nie faces. incidentally, mr. griffin was sentenced to over 5 years in prison. 30 year old christopher

himself is not in saudi arabia after being arrested up the border earlier this year . and earlier i managed to speak to christopher, who said as a british citizen, he checked you in law and working in north korea, but not u. s. law having, why should he need to see us? i choose as you have breaking its international sanctions, when you spoke at the conference in north korea, what's your main thought? all the documentation. yeah. well, you know, my main thought in the accusation is that it's groundless to, to give you some color before i travel to north korea. i'm a, i'm a british citizen, i'm not american. i check all of the guidance for my son to be. i checked the un resolutions on north korea to check that i wouldn't be breaking any law laws or any sanction laws whatsoever. the, the british government, which is where i'm from, and have not charged me with anything. they haven't found me guilty of anything. i

was detained due to a into poll read. notice that was issued by the united states. saudi arabia does not have an extradition treaty with the united states. however, that doesn't mean that i won't be extradited from here. so the process now is essentially waiting and submitting all defense retrieve, we've done to, to see what the outcome is really. in addition to that, we've challenged the where we are challenging the already notices. we feel that it is totally unfair and obviously totally unjust. when you travel to north korea, where you aware of the possibility that you are in danger of breaking us law. absolutely not. as a british citizen, i had no idea that i would be subject to american law if any other country in the world, what to perform similar acts where they say that you can be convicted for a crime that i wasn't committed within the territory of the country and b and this the act, the correct that i'm being accused of clearly clearly states that it only applies

to us citizens. so if i can be extradited for this crime, i think it raises some very, very warring concerns to, to the international community as to which laws we should or shouldn't a, if you, you know, if, if i am extradited, then we should be teaching american law in every single school in the world, because we will clearly clearly subject to it. christopher m speaking to r t. r for up to the minute developments do give our twitter picture follow. we'll make sure you don't miss any of the updates that matter today. i'm una neil saying goodbye for ah, lisa hunter, rushin, state flow narrative. i've started as i phone and the most landscape div. uh mm hm

. and i'm not getting calls. i'll slap a group in a 55 with this been okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else was about this, even though we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia today, and split ortiz sputnik given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube in a fairly to school nutrition. did you think even close to chat with me? so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and

.
