9:05 am
himself less heaviness. here in the warehouses, potassium nitrate was also stored. i am pretty sure that those who were preparing this barbarian act knew about this and that it was their actual plan. they achieved what they wanted. what happened is pretty much the same as what happened in beirut several years ago when many people died. now despite the fact that russia and ukraine have already commented on the situation asian their own way, we are yet to hear any comments from washington or what happened. and nobody our cough, despite the abundance of information about the deaths of a civilians and the damage to civilian infrastructure. meanwhile, american commercial satellites, or world view to was reportedly taken pictures of fun nowhere kafka. 3 days before the ukrainian artillery ha struck the city. now it's true purpose is a yet unclear,
9:06 am
but according to early reports, this is not the 1st time american commercial satellites are hovering over our various object which are later formed by the ukrainian military. now this was the case in russia's ross stove region to where an oil refinery was struck by a drones that this was the case on the, i mean, the islands oil reason, the black sea and the russian city of belgrade as well. now all this, but the dishes, yet to be confirmed, but to the, the report that came out earlier regarding the american official satellites were on thanks very much ridiculous throughout our t correspond. remind cost of life in danvers. will staying on the subject of western weapons. european union officials have admitted arms by and for ukraine will end up on the black market. it comes after russia warns some weapons
9:07 am
were already in use by radical groups in the middle east. one e u official claimed it's impossible to prevent their slogan. it is hard to avoid weapons smuggling. we try to keep track of them, but i would be lying. if i said we will succeed. we failed after the war in yugoslavia and we can't prevent it now. a huge balance of western arms continue to flow into key. if you can see here how many heavy weapons ukraine has received to date, not that is in addition to tens of thousands of firearms, munitions on portable missile systems. some estimates pot the total cost of $38000000000.00 co director of the international action center activist groups, sorry, flanders fears the whole of europe and the middle east is being put at risk by these weapons. the research a real, as even the ukrainian forces us forces russian forces. everyone admits that these
9:08 am
weapons are out there. they're accessible from the very beginning when ukraine opened its armories, but now with much more advanced and dangerous weapons, it puts all of europe at risk. it continues to put the people of the middle east at risk because of who is purchasing these weapons and it gives a way of the u. s. continuing it's dangerous threats around the world by crediting simply anonymous groups when they create growing chaos. so this is a dangerous plan, and yet the military industry is operate guaranteed profit. they don't care what happens to these weapons. is it make money for them? that is the way they look at their war. europe is currently losing the war of words over the conflict in ukraine. that's the frank assessment of the
9:09 am
ear foreign policy chief usa barrel, who admitted there are plenty of countries in the world that don't show the west view of events on how to move forward and on. the consequences of the war views differ sharply. the g 7 and like minded countries are united in condemning and sanctioning russia and in trying to hold the regime accountable. but other countries and we can speak here of the majority of the global south, often take a different perspective. the global battle of narratives is in full swing and for now we are not winning. it's amazing, but european union officials can learn when the venture outside of their brussels bubble brow speaks of a global battle narratives that you is not winning. it's a tacit admission that there is a concerted effort to turn the world against russia. so why are western efforts of narrative control failing? the plummeting confidence in western media could have something to do with it. it could also be some countries have seen enough underhanded and manipulative behavior,
9:10 am
leading to western back regime change under the guise of spreading democracy, freedom and humanitarianism. that they no longer believe western narratives i would suggest to we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in and blow off all the bridges on the dream. busy oh, for helping iraqis build a free nation, that is an ally in the war on terror. i gave the order for british forces to take part in military action in iraq. my judgment as prime minister is that this threat is real, growing and over an entirely different nature to any conventional threat to our security that britain has faced before. ah we came, we saw that he died. ringback busy ah,
9:11 am
russian foreign affairs, mister sir j. leverage has said that the west has buried freedom of speech with its own hands. western nations blot and band russian media and pressured their allies world wide to do the same. they smeared the journalist whose alternative voices were heard as a result of these platforms. by the way, it apparently isn't working too well, since our t and sputnik audiences have shot up online since the benz, according to a new microsoft report. it makes sense that people would want to see other and hear other views and information that they know they're being denied through western government censorship. even after all, efforts to reduce traffic to sputnik news and r t dot com, consumption of russian propaganda still higher than before the war. some western governments have gone so far out of their way to violate basic principles of the free press. that when the british government announced
9:12 am
a new online safety bill strengthening, press protections, it specifically mentioned that the new measures would exclude the work of our tea and foot. dick journalists, these supposed democracies have been doing everything we can to marginalize narratives that deviate from their own western media. veterans have commented on the veracity of the narrative control efforts. lunch, been my career, working in the mainstream. and i've covered probably 789 shooting was i've never seen there come a coverage so utterly consume. i ask anom, farrier, jerusalem, ah, and of manipulator jim garrison as this one. and that's why nothing should be trust . the most watch cable in the show in america also sat up and took notice. so they're using this opportunity, this war in eastern europe to shut down domestic descent in the united states. if
9:13 am
we're going to protect democracy, that should start at home. and democracy is defined literally defined by the tolerance of the regime for descent. independent journalists who deviate from the western narrative on ukraine are now facing the funding. and he platforming. and now that morale admits disappointment in the failure of their efforts. what are they gonna do? double down on their field strategy by further cracking down on dissenting voices in violation of their own stated values of freedom of speech and of the press. the only people there successfully fooling or apparently themselves? well, canadian politics professor ra ticket, the sy believes western attempts to pin the blame on russia for multiple problems in the world right now aren't working. berrera's statement tells me, is that now it's really clear that the west is not even winning the propaganda war . and the reason is that he's simple, because on the ground, the russia is winning,
9:14 am
in terms of military forces. and also, as the situation is evolving, the west of damage to blame. russia for what's going on with it is food inflation and fuel inflation. whatever. what i was going on, what i want a waste is trying to pin on russia. it's not working. the rest of the world is not seeing it. so mister burrell is forced into these reflections because he is out of the bobbo of brussels and out of the bubble of the g 7, mister miranda actually having to make the rest is losing the propaganda. what is a big signal of defeat? because they are also, if you did all the number of other from the west always gave that to use for democracy. but in reality, what they mean by democracy is a situation in which a country agrees to abide by all the rules that that's a real go to western,
9:15 am
particularly american corporations. and that's, that's just, that's just been the way it has been for a very long time. the president biden will host the mexican president today, up the white house. it's happening among foster mexican leader ignored. the summit of america is organized by washington. no relation between the 2 countries helping worsting lately with issues of migration trade, drug trafficking among the topics expected to be discuss between the leaders later and the day. well, for more on this upcoming meeting, we're to life by our correspondent fiorella isabel. if you are a welcome to you. so just in terms of a meeting like this, it's usually as a proactive step between leaders meeting. but it is happening and made immense tension between the 2 countries. what are the main international issues that they just can't agree on right now? well, there are a plethora of issues among them. the climate crisis,
9:16 am
the disagreement over foreign policy, the immigration issue. but i think the main one right now is the disagreement of am low over ukraine and the united states foreign policy between russia and ukraine, calling it across error, and also refusing to join the rest of the western world and its neighbor upon sanctioning russia over the quote unquote invasion, even though he condemned it, he refused to actually join in on the sanctions. what about closer to home than current tissues on the american continent itself? what will be front and center? yeah, i mean, front and center right now was the tension, as you mentioned, from the summit of the america, the monroe locust, rather known as m lo. he completely rejected to going to the summit, which was an insult to the united states. and it also led to other countries to
9:17 am
speak out against it or refused to attend. why was he saying that mexico isn't going? what was the reason? the reason was because of the exclusion of the countries of nicaragua, that as well. okay, hugo, and so the exclusion of those countries in the summit of the americas was seen as something a critic, right? also including spain instead of those countries as well. ok, in the way there can be a summit of the americas, if not all countries of the american continent are taking part it. needless to say, if you are one of the main stumbling blocks as it has been for some time between the u. s. and its neighbors, mexico, in particular, immigration, how is the subject developing? what are the countries doing side of the united states? the curb, the influx? yes. so the immigration issue has large playing the relationship between the united states and mexico. right now, amola wants to see work these as temporary work phases because that's one of the
9:18 am
main issues is that mexican people have have a hard time going to work in the united states, particularly in the agricultural sector. and they sometimes stay illegally because they are allowed to return because of a lack of lisa. so that's going to be one of the main discussions, figuring out ways how the mexican people could come into the united states work and go back to their country to diminish the flow of immigration. because as we know, one of the most horrible incidents this happened in san antonio, texas, where 53 migrants were found dead in this truck. and of course, a great portion of them were mexican. so that's going to be a main concern. also, the fact that mexico wants united states and has taken measures to, to prevent the united states from interfering and their affairs. getting the d h s out last year, and so on, getting their sovereignty back in a way over their affairs on a related theme such policies towards migrants, the,
9:19 am
the u. s. as a case in mexico violating human rights. what's that about? so mexico has denied any violation of human rights, has denied that they are at fault for the assassination of journalists. this is what the united states has accused them up. and emma has recently said that this is hypocritical because united states is trying to exert international jurisdiction over the free press, the extradition of julianna sanchez, and he condemned this as well, demanding that on july 4th. if there was, if julius was to be expedited, then the statue of liberty should be returned. he is brought to the us and given the maximum sentence of life in prison, a campaign should be launched to dismantle the statue of liberty in new york that was gifted by the french because it will no longer be a symbol of freedom. okay, so a lot to be talked about, but what else do you think because there's a lot of broad and complex issues that these countries share?
9:20 am
what do you think else will be talked to by today? one of the main things that is not discussed in the media is the energy issue of the united states versus mexico. the united states, for instance, is pushing this sort of green. and this green climate change policy that mexico is an adopt. and let's not forget that. and em, low tried to nationalize all of the countries energy and fell short from doing it. he was almost there, but just this past april. finally, they were able to nationalize lithium in the, in mexico, basically saying to the united states, a multinational corporations that the lithium belongs to mexico. and that it is, it is a mineral that is part of the country for the people to use and not to be exploited by outside foreign powers or these multinational corporations. and that's an issue that is of high contention between the 2. because the united states has been pushing this climate change policy and is using that to say that mexico is not
9:21 am
taking the proper precautions to cut down in the pollution and of course climate climate change in. okay, so it could be a meeting that goes on for quite a while. we will bring the developments to reviewers on the fewer isabel r t correspond. thank you very much for taking us through it. now there's been some sweeping statements from the former, a polish president, lack of a well sir, who said he wants to see a change to the political system in russia or encourage an uprising of the people. moreover, he wants a reduction in the country's population. there are 60 ethnic groups in russia who have banana next. these people who been an ex should rise up. it is necessary to completely change the political system of russia or bring it back to a population of less than $50000000.00 inhabitants. russian foreign ministry spokesman and maria, as a harvard, responded to the statement saying that the style of words were from
9:22 am
a ukrainian nationalist who, quote, dreamed of living like they do in poland in the u. s. also wish it's what is regarded as quite an unread just state men. paul massaro senior policy advisor for the u. s. commission on security and cooperation in europe said that ukraine must be allowed to strike military sites in occupied bella. bruce occupied premier and russia. that is a quote, so a lot to delve into with our guess next on the program geo politics expert on president of the euro, confident international organization, p r, a manual. so man, welcome to you, sir. so just your initial reaction to those state men's bi polar ends, former president, were you surprised by his thoughts? actually i'm not surprised because, or this statement reflects over geopolitical objectives of the west
9:23 am
for a long time, which is a nun explicit geopolitical objective to dismantle russia in 2 different her territories. because of the main goal of the west and above all, the united states is to maintain its supremacy in the world, especially in europe, and are to do so in needs to fragment eurasia and her by fragmented. you raise your or, and, or saw early may go after over fragmentation of erasure, for example, are heavy split between your european union on russia, or russia on central asian stace over our next step is of course, to, to try to dismantle russia itself. it has been always on the agenda in none explicit way shore, or i'm not surprised about that. comes from someone who will lead to wingo of
9:24 am
a cold war. and do you reflects for mainstream thinking of many people who are totally your herb started to her call, who are mentality of law center written. one of the more intriguing parts of that statement was the, are the part where he sets up the russian population should be reduced to 50000000 people is a part of what you're seeing there. and essentially, it would help, it would make it easier for an overthrow of rush if that came about it. is that what you think he's alleging yes, by you fragment in the territory of territory of russia or the way would be to reduce or the population of rush. i said the problem is, or 80 percent of russia is composed of russians. and oh,
9:25 am
so these are going to now you can go ahead, we can hear you. ok, just a little bit of a connection issue there of the moments with our guest at pierre and menu l to man, the president of the euro continent international organization on to you politics experts. i will try and get him back a little bit later to finish the conversation amid the ongoing energy crisis, european governments of increase their attention towards, as i'm sure, you know, domestic green policies proposing new reforms. the changes have led to severe protests and multiple e u countries. let's go through some of them rallies in the netherlands. they were sparked by the government's plan to slash pollution emissions in house by 2030. the reforms include reducing live stock numbers on upgrading or indeed,
9:26 am
completely shutting down farms that produce large amounts of ammonia. some of a protesting pharmacy. they're being on fairly targeted and even robbed of their livelihoods in a show of solid dorothy with their counterpart, german farmers block traffic, the borders between the 2 countries. they say that i'm sure i'm food security policies have backfired. the backdrop, too, of course, being germany in the netherlands among the world's leading agriculture, an export to cut a big knock on a well, europe's green agenda has seemingly buck fired, not only at home, but abroad. well, it's a story we've been covering for quite some time. despite earlier plans to reduce fossil fuel consumption, europe has turned to africa to secure gas supplies. but the plums appear to hold little benefit for local people with investment in infrastructure. not on the
9:27 am
agenda. picking up the story for his policy or the soft jet western world came together and played to britain entity duty fossil fuels. but it seems they've changed if they mind. the european union is looking to tongue historic amounts of gas out of africa. not just a train, it's mean promises, but also bringing little benefit to the locals. as you appears, used african gas to warm the homes. almost 800000000 africans still live without electricity. and the e. u doesn't look sate to invest in local infrastructure. the gas goes from here to europe, to power homes and industries there, but we get no benefits from it. nothing comes to us. just a few examples. big fossil fuel giants, including exxon b, p, and shell, are spending billions in mozambique, tanzania, and synagogue to extract more guests, most of which will be sent to europe and has trained only looked to increase. back in april, italy signed a new deal for gasoline, gold,
9:28 am
and congo. while germany is looking to secure supplies from senegal, it's not just that the e. u is coming to africa to plunder what it needs in times of crisis. it's also that bought ramping up oil production. it's fitting african economies back in mozambique, foreign companies, led by any and total energies, have invested nearly $30000000000.00 in developing off shore natural gas reserves, and l n. g capacity. yet 70 percent of people still live without access to electricity. and then of course, there's the horse that these nations will be lift high and dry once the energy crisis uses. and the e u, we commits itself to green energy. after all, the e u expensive gas demands to fall 30 percent back 2030. then what european companies will leave and nations on african constant will be left behind with dumped production facilities and reduced marcus. all this has pushed african needed
9:29 am
to call out the sudden interest in the wind as a double standard. that perpetuates the width exploitation of this region. they sending out a simple message. we are not europe, gas station. they cannot just come and say we need your gas or buy your gas and we'll take it to europe. they need to give something back to us. so it's not just about abandoning those green energy models at the drop of the heck. it's about an equal partnership. at view of continues to not practise what is creatures and critic save adulthood old colonial this mindset. is it any surprise that african novel, china, not the waste, as the greatest to ally off to all the multi $1000000.00 projects have improved the lives of local from providing bridges to hospitals to internet. it seems as though the patients of african nations may have moved a little too soon, and they looking around for new allies who give as much as they take our team to
9:30 am
100 ok. just back to the story we were talking about earlier, the statements from the former polish president, lack of a well. so who said he wants to see a change to the political system in russia, or encourage an uprising of the people. he also wants to see a big depletion in the russian population. we were speaking to at geo politics expert a little bit early peer manual to man peer. something happened her connection there . but in terms of, of what's being taught to bite, you said you were shocked by the reaction. do you expect more statements like this to, to come forward? yes, of course. or because or the i've been a huge sure propaganda machine by the west and especially in very up drunk is countries like poland by, by kick countries or to a united states united kingdom or to.
