the the russian m. o. d has released this friday showing combat helicopter, striking, ukrainian army positions. both guided guided missiles were used. several ukrainian military vehicles were destroyed, they say along with a number of weapons. well made yet more money and weapons promised to ukraine by the u. s. concerns are rising. even among jo biden's democratic party colleagues about where it's actually all ending up the u. s. government is sending billions and humanitarian, economic and military assistance to help the ukrainian people overcome, put in brutal war and the american people expect strong oversight by congress and full accounting from the department of defense. well, elizabeth warren, their joins are growing number of politicians from both main parties. alarmed by want a view of a lack of oversights, of the billions of dollars and weapons being sent to key of rt kill up log and
9:05 am
picks up the story. elizabeth warren has started speaking up and she's joined us senator rand paul, a republican and we have a bipartisan call at this point for a, an inspector general to look into the dispensing of funds and weapons from the united states to ukraine. make sure they're falling into the right hands to make sure the u. s. a is not doing things it doesn't intend to do. this is some of the letter that was put forward by both democrats and republicans expressing their concerns the sheer magnitude and speed at which the federal government is sending aid calls for robust oversight in terms of both spending and monitoring its use. as such, lawmakers should be working to ensure that there are guardrails on these enormous spending. packages such oversight would ensure that the billions of dollars that the u. s. ascending arrives in the hands of its intended recipients and does not inadvertently line the pockets of war profiteers who are seeking to use this war to
9:06 am
enrich themselves. however, despite getting the reassurances from ukraine, the pentagon admit they don't really have a full pre plan about who will receive what's being sent to ukraine. risk of diversion is one of many considerations that we routinely assess when evaluating any potential arms transfer. ukrainian leadership have assured us that they understand the importance of accountability. now that's a lot of assessing that could go on. but at the end of the day, many people considered ukraine to be one of the most corrupt nations on earth. and many sympathetic voices to the united states and hostile anti russian voices have said over the years that ukraine is notoriously corrupt. but another issue and is the issue of arms now, according to the global organized crime index published in 2021. ukraine has one of the largest illegal weapons markets of any country in the world and elite,
9:07 am
at least any country in europe, and illegally traffic weapons are all across ukraine. this is what's been reported . there are 2 primary sources of elicit small arms and ammunition in ukraine. the diversion of domestic holdings and cross border trafficking weapons from eastern ukraine are becoming an important supply source for the black market. and there been examples of this already. one of the crime weapons used by the i'd states and exported by the on states around the world, the javelin has apparently been up for sale, illegally costing around $30000.00. and at this point, we were looking over the record what happened in syria? what happened in iraq, what happened in afghanistan, and how so many us rap? and i've ended up in the hands of terrorists extremism. is that narco gangs and criminal element. there are some pretty legitimate concerns here as more and more us money. and more and more us heavy weaponry is set to be delivered to crane and
9:08 am
just continuing kill office pc, their poll right as an analyst, and founder of the human rights defense center in geo, and believes the u. s. has a long history of sending weapons to countries to meet its own political and military cold. i think this pretty much us has been conducting business. i think since of least going back to the vietnam on the 1960, you know, they follow money and weapons to corrupt regimes and hope that or not they get through to the people they intended to, that it meets their aim. so the state of political, economic, and military games, a huge percentage of the so called aid packages are literally going directly to the pockets of the bank accounts of american arms. manufacturers will be supplying the weapons. it's not really than a thing of, you know, the money is going to the premiums to buy weapons on the open, on the international arms market or whatever they're going directly to american arms manufacturers to supply the weapons. so i don't think there's really a lot of desire for a lot of accountability for you know,
9:09 am
any type of transparency and how much of this money is being spent, which does kind of been the norm, i think of the 1960 now another element aspect of all this to bring attention to nate, so is facing opposition to harming you. print from within some of its own members. states may be significant because a recent poll increase suggest the majority are opposed to supplying with weapons r t contributor rachel morrison tells into that public opinion and group is increasingly urgent. matter of other european union countries over blah policies. the russia published annual democracy perception index highlighted group citizens are a liars within the you, with only 22 percent of them wanting to cut ties with russia. and maybe you create conflict or reset your barometer poll, found the groups are much less trusting of their sources of information about the conflict and of european agrees and 40 some of the countries. politicians also

being not to support government policy. the leftist coalition party to read the color, the greek government on the new arms deal with germany for ukraine. the government must stop making decisions in secret, uncritical national issues even more so when the majority of the greek people are opposed to choices that pose risks to the country security and are contrary to our national interests. then you would see some of grace's old soviet style tanks swapped out for new german, one and given to ukraine. the idea is that they blend in on the battlefield with ukrainian text and allow her plausible deniability upper true origin. so why greece tumbled off the bandwagon the entry bore the brunt of the 2011 economic crisis and for all of the health greeks continue to suffer, reached, likely have for going either that back in 2010 they boycotted german. good. ready response to german officials, calling for athens to sell greek islands to pay for it. dest grease owns buildings,
9:11 am
companies and uninhabited islands, which could all be used for dead redemption. greece has also been on the shore front, as migration shockwave sparks by the use open floodgate policies. have ruled in unabated despite domestic protests, re officials have persisted in their agenda from the tranquillity of here, i'll geological models. you can save the world if you can't. first pay the rent. and greeks are now grappling with price heights for just about everything in their daily living as a result of anti russian sanctions and their particular impacts on european energy . as i used to spend 800 euros on gasoline, now it's 11021200 euro. so i hope something will happen to help us. so can you think i'm the shock when you get the electricity bill is huge. number, equally big is the indignation we feel when we hear the government talking about the relief measures. they were supposed to take them with what we have to do as to rise up in order to demand the increases are reversed and to increase our salaries
9:12 am
. a situation has reached the point of no return for all the people that i am working all day out in the streets and this is what i hear what the people say. so . ringback in this climate of longstanding instability, frustration and unrest comes to ears. nonstop mass j, about the need to back ukraine's data back on pledge against russia. but that's turning out to be a tough cell increase with and i need a protest. now, emerging, these protests join both anti us and anti energy price. hey, protests in question now is whether greece is the canary in the proverbial coal mine when it comes to how much citizens like other countries will tolerate of policies imposed on them by european leads before reaching a breaking point in former greek combustor to poland and canada looney thus, kristen fabulous believe sending weapons to ukraine can only aggravate the situation. we are witnessing a very nice
9:13 am
a diplomat. the game that germany is playing, because germany is sending hard weapons to the czech republic, to poland and to greece, which these countries will say to the ukraine at this way, germany is no longer responsible for these weapons. and they will always say that, that berlin at never sent weapons to the ukraine, basically, if they impose on greece a, a regime of sterility measures. well, we have many problems with germany and greece, for example. first of all, they were they were so most important country to him that imposed the memoranda the easier miranda on greece, which destroyed the economy and the social welfare of the greek people. one thing,
9:14 am
the other thing is that, that germany owes greece for 450000000000 euros from a pro war preparations. the world bank has announced plans to provide monetary assistance to the solomon islands. it said $130000000.00 will be allocated to the pacific nation for infrastructure projects. some background to this, the promise of help comes on the heels of the country. recently, signing a security agreement with china, the practice rattle some leaders around the world from the u. s. 2 australian. they see a door opening to a chinese military present in the region. and an a routing of the traditional control they have in the area writer and journalist, patrick o'connor say, to understand the role of china in the region. it's necessary to recall its defensive reaction to u. s. imperialism, to understand charles roller. you need to understand that it's
9:15 am
a defensive reaction against us imperialism, and critically aggressive attempted to china. the last 30 years of playing a series of us like was around the world. in 2011 president are gonna use the starting element phone to announce the cycle to the to asia, which mot and when you focus on the american military confrontation of gene before subsequently. yes. go on to the truck administration with the 2017 national security strategy which announced that the warranty was effectively. i'm going to focus on circle gray pal rivalries which manage all i focus on challenging by russia and china. and so you've seen in the last period on the success, the republican and democratic demonstrations are really aggressive military and build up a. ready pacific, specifically directed against china, very from oregon, china, obviously, a,
9:16 am
just in attempts to defend itself against the law, washington middle, terribly diplomatically, economically. and so that country, not exactly which song does my time security relationship with the stria, i think said that there is not a question that under the kind of some of our government, there is an attempt to orient much more closely to china. that reflects a whole record of us trying to fill them in the solomon islands. 2 trillion dollars. that's the staggering figure. the u. s. is estimated to have spent on the afghan war, but it seems more money could still be needed local to know, seeking justice for strikes and residential areas. adult bus year is the mundane compensation after 9 members of his family were killed in a drone strike during the chaotic days of the u. s. withdrawal. dull himself
9:17 am
suffered injuries to both legs and one of his arms. he lives in a small province and never could have thought he would have lost 5 sons and 2 daughters and just one day, locals help rebuild his house after the attack. but he still struggles financially . abdul, on his close relatives recall the fateful day. his life changed forever long. i'm a person who lost his family and faced disaster and damages. here i am. it was about 1 o'clock at night when my house was jolted. i was shocked and could not understand what happened. i was being treated for a month or $45.00 days in a cabal hospital. when i came back to back sion, i saw there was no life for me. my whole family was dead. the house was completely demolished. i was told that my 5 daughters and 2 sons were dead. i lost all my loving kids. nothing was left over those. miss miller monterey him. some of the loyalty now after basha is my 1st cousin. we were staying with him. his guests that night, around 1 o'clock at night, american drones attacked us with bob and help out. the 8 members of his family were
9:18 am
killed, including his 5 daughters and 2 sons, and my elderly mother was also killed. while a similar earth strike in kabul in august last year killed 10 members of the same family, including 7 children, left numerous others injured. the pentagon pledge to compensate the family, though it's still unclear if that's happened, even as reports of civilian casualties emerged that top u. s. general described the attack as righteous and the american military decided not to hold any personnel accountable for the incident. abdel and his relative again, feel, washington should still be helping all those injured. my law. lucas global. all my them. i mean all the americans, i believe they can't return my daughters and sons back to me, but they can pay damages. my losses about $135000.00 to $170000.00. i want the americans to pay me this amount is compensation coveted, thus as anaconda blocker,
9:19 am
my question to the americans is, can they pay for the lives of those who are killed in this attack? then of course, they call it up, but they can pay at least the compensation to cover the damages and medical expenses for the injured we treated in hospital been offered a my own loss is around $35000.00. i lost my mother. we spent a lot of medical bills, they took our passports, we can't get visa to take her injured people to pakistan. they've destroyed our peaceful life matter. we don't have enemies. what he's for people on a plane. if the u. s. does not paste the damages they were regretted. believe me, god negotiate the simple act of waving a russian flag has landed one teenager in jail. authorities in lafayette have rejected an appeal against the rest of alexander tobacco, who held the flag to protest against the demolition of a soviets soldiers monument. now, alexander urged the crowd to remember the heroic efforts of world war 2 soldiers and not let the present. i get in the way of respecting the past. now i faced up to
9:20 am
5 years in prison. r t spoke exclusively with his mother after the court's decision was announced. she is shocked by the ruling. oh, so didn't she rehearsal, in the end? nothing good came out of it. the appeal was rejected. in my opinion, this is insanity. it's unreasonable for i have nothing to say. yes, he is a home boy who loves to read. who knows for languages, including the state languages, he is a citizen of lat, via the patriot of his country. and right now this country wipes its feet on him. of course, i didn't expect this because we don't have any laws prohibiting any flags. why did he go on the 10th? because on the 9th, once again, the government of lafayette wiped its feed on people who remember his great grandmother went through the war as a child, she went through occupation and he knows all this. and for him, it is
9:21 am
a holiday and respect. will arty, also malicious. speak to alexander's lawyer, who thinks such a harsh decision by the court is unprecedented. please don't forget to share with others alter sad because unfortunately, the district court upheld the decision of the court of 1st instance on the application of the most severe measure of restraint. alexander detention, we naturally filed a complaint with the tourists in as possible because in our opinion, they detained him for something which in our opinion is not a criminal offense at all. i mean, the demonstration of the russian flag which is not prohibited symbol in loc. as it turns out, everything connected with russia is now considered toxic. it's hard to say what you expect. you see, for example, i did not expect that for this or non violent crime, he would be kept in custody. in my opinion, this is nonsense. therefore to say what will happen is very difficult. i think that it's reasonable to assume that he's a boy for beating and also for intimidating others so they would fear to do the same that he's holding on. there is nothing good in the situation where
9:22 am
a 19 year old boy in fact homeboy was never committed. any offences is now in prison. there's nothing good and that i think morally, it's hard on him as well as physically. once again, the latvian feminist has demonstrated its political commitment, leaving the decision to arrest alexander to be unchanged. unfortunately, the latino authorities do not share the same zeal and investigating other offences committed against russian speaking residence, including on the basis of ethnic hatred. the french cultural ambassador who was also a former director of the world famous louis museum, has been relieved from his juicy is until a lawsuit. against them is concluded. jolla, martin, it is charged with frauds, money laundering on concealment of the criminal origins of are taken from egypt during the r a spring. unrest thus includes 5 pieces acquired by the abu dhabi branch of the museum, and estimated to be worth 8 and a half $1000000.00. the inquiry into alleged illegal trafficking was 1st opened in
9:23 am
2018, with several suspects. arrested, then released. however, in may, investigators arrested mr. martinez and placed him under judicial supervision. live 58 year old has been the head of france's most visited museum since 2013. last year he obtained the post of the foreign ministries cultural buster and was personally in charge of fighting against r trafficking. despite the charges, smartness denies any wrong doing, and it seems the allegations of the legal trafficking may not be just restricted to the lose. investigators reportedly believe hundreds of similar artifacts were taken . i'd of several are of states in the early 20 tents, when the middle east was engulfed by anti government protest, softer adopted slain. the pieces were acquired by museums worldwide, which didn't properly examine their origins or received forged certificates of
9:24 am
often tricity. well, let's get the take on all this know from the director of the asia center for studies on from lation med miss stuff you're most welcome to the program. what's your main feeling on the case of john? look, martinez. he claims he's innocent, but the authority clearly seem to think otherwise. at this stage. no, i think he's invectives. criminal. because a lot of things where practice before it is not only in egypt and you sent in your repre, you're shot. but also, if they chose that between lying to be shows us, i mean, they all civilization like iraq to egypt, dani out in libya from our civilization because we where and with feel the mothers off. the civilization was like the mother of religion white and they have nothing to prevent the humanity like that. if you look at grants or united states,
9:25 am
all the other watson litigation, the past, the have nothing to present before the trying to get it just to get the benefit of such antiquities financially, whether be trying to show beat by the lose and the president will pay a ticket of 50 years or 100 years or things like that, the fall, the, it will get it the get the benefit economically and also in the matter of the tracking because unfortunately it is not too much control if you have a mission from doing that's called the technical organization that belong to the united nation, and they have some sort of trafficking network. we have some internal elements and some plumbing elements, and the pulses is taking place and that respect. so i kind of corruption in somehow. the problem is that the work most of the time trying to lift object
9:26 am
production production and the. ringback pregnancy and much propaganda, but unfortunately the all the wrench room this week, all the whole thing because they put the codes of the gate of the rules of the gate . this is why the prior to to convent in somehow this is the pre, the whole story about the question on the part from the potential criminality of the entire thing. how embarrassing is this? considering the man was appointed to the post of ambassador responsible for tackling illegal trafficking in france a. because if you, for example, we have a reflection in the kind of crisis. the bible is sanders, the double standard and the people of trust the folding is a correction. and because the w sender, because the trying to accuse a rush of the crushes by trenching flying to violate the international low and
9:27 am
the southern and sometimes to be disregard at the same time. why russia doing that? an act of the confirmation, $100.00 times from the inside of the matrix on america that we will not be approaching to the order. but unfortunately, they were not permitted to such work and to the owner of such a procedure before it is the same. not that you've been the case yet in europe and america, you have the same problem. because if, for example, someone from the middle east, from the wall, from the south trying to get, for example, like scholarship in some unique and there was some talk, you repeat american university, all like that. you will suffer the spot. you may present all the requirements and then being with director, because black over here on the south or he wasn't like that before. this is
9:28 am
a kind of complete the double standard because the guy is infected at the same time . he's in a unique ministry or unique place like the new is not going to harm harm the credibility, the prestige of the lose on france. in general. do you think the west that if they, the, the french people were really aware how can they elect someone like michael was involved with him by him in law, in the yellow vets, by racing. 5 the knocked down the church in paris and we know the whole, i think patients, they made a good commentary about that or so he like to, to, to the friends when america already entrenched should be submarine agreement with as well. yeah. and you already made the taxpayers last $100000000000.00
9:29 am
from the washer economy. and also he already be published the inconvenient to profit bahama at the same time resident book. and he said, no, they profit to the are just good figures and shouldn't be treated like bit. and this is on the 2nd of the freedom of expression. this is the french and this is the west represented in french. this is a big mistake, and this is the big play from the thought. thank you so much for coming on the program and sharing your views with us live on our see what i want to. we're right on time. i'm sorry i member going right to break from the center for studies and translation director oxford and stuff and many thanks. ok, what makes a person leave their safe country and life and join a raging conflict in a foreign land? they have no direct ties to our short doc. next attempts to find out the
9:30 am
