11:04 am
in beirut several years ago when many people died. now, washington is yet to comment on what happens in november got off the despite the abundance of information regarding the death office, civilians and damage to civilian infrastructure. i mean, while american commercial satellite world view 2 was reported taken photos of nova gov could just 3 days before the attack of the korean military. it's a true purpose of this commercial satellite is unclear, but according to earlier reports, this is not the 1st time american commercial satellites are hovering over objects that are later being bombed by the ukrainian military. and so that was the case with rushes that will stop region where an oil refinery was frog white. drones, also, oil rigs off the coast of the black sea, the island. oh fuzz, mean the and russian border city of bel girl as well. well,

staying home the subject of western weapons, european union officials have admitted that arms born for ukraine will likely end up on the block market. it comes after russia warden, some weapons were already in use by radical groups in the middle east. the european commissioner for home refers claimed, it's impossible to prevent the weapons trafficking it is hard to avoid weapons smuggling. we tried 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. of huge amounts of western arms continued to flow into key. if you can see here how many heavy weapons ukraine has received the date. that's an addition to tens of thousands of firearms, munitions on portable missile systems. some estimates pope, they total cost a $38000000000.00 co director of international action center activist groups, sorry, flanders fears the whole of europe and the middle east is being put at risk by
11:06 am
these weapons. the rest, sorry, real, as even the ukrainian forces us forces russian forces. everyone admits that these 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 un continuing 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 for the weapons. is it make money for them? that is the way they look at their war. the u. s. state department has accused the
11:07 am
kremlin of resorting to the semitism when speaking about ukraine, washington calls the russian narrative about new nazis in ukraine. quote, disinformation used to justify mosque operation. when critics point out that ukraine's president viola, demo zalinski, who on the 2019 election in ukraine was 73 percent of the votes, is jewish himself with family members who were killed by nazis. the kremlin disseminates false narratives attempting to de, legitimize his jewishness the kremlin falsely claims the worst nazis were actually jews, and seeks to down play the role of anti semitism in nazi ideology. while the accusations by the west failed to mention ukrainian neo nazi, but tony, in such of the a's off grouping and 8, are a recent speech by president lensky to the greek parliament. hell alongside to as of new not see fighters received huge backlash from greeks and the mirror. zalinski
11:08 am
also compared the war in ukraine with the holocaust while he addressed these really parliament. but even before the conflict began both the u. s. on western media, condemned ukrainian, neo nazis for violating human rights to discuss the story less cross live now to american investigative journalist in don boss towards elias. and george, welcome to you. we know we've known for some time the neo nazis form part of the is off battalion and ukraine and indeed other nationalist groups. you've been on the ground in the region for some time. what's your experience of did you see neo nazis there? yeah, yeah, i have especially in 2014 when this 1st started the 1st day that was actually the 2nd day we sat there was driving down the street and we were literally behind the winds for
11:09 am
over a month in our fees. and that is, i'm not even sure if you can call some of them neil, because of their actual background. from the early spring in 2014 late winter, 2014. they were murdering people across them boss. and this is never stopped. the murder, the rate. sure it's been a staple, as long as they've been around, and as they are just how much influence do these groups have over the country as it stands? what, what kind of estimate would you put on the was actually a very layered question to, to understand a you have to go back 219919293 the last world war 2 era leader of the ban dara group or u. n. b was flour,
11:10 am
stetsco. her husband was, yas loves, dance gold. he declared ukrainian republic in 1941 forced upon been darrow. she came back to you, crane was elected to parliament and proceeded to teach. oh, you and politics to what became the 2014 opposition government. now we're talking about what you are calling neo nazis. when she came back, she started the congress, a ukrainian nationals as a party. the military in wing was a group called tries o. dimitri arrows was the leader of tries of and her body guard and heir apparent in ukraine. so is dimitri yarrow. sh, a neo nazi, or a real nazi because he learned his politics from people that committed the
11:11 am
holocaust. how are you talking specifically about as of italian? andre malesky, the founder of as of italian regional leader of tries up there law was stetsco. so he learned his politics from her also. and the person she came back, the ukraine with was and then your other slips me, but he provided the funding to get as off the ground and he provided a lot of money on provided or is he provided media. busy they did all these things. so to call them neal nazi, maybe you know, these members coming in are, but your chip itself is actually very nationals in terms of the, the government storage. whenever there are statements made by perceive links
11:12 am
between the government and new nazi groupings, it's ridiculed in the west. it said that that's just the way to try and ab besmirch kiev and direct question are there ties to, to the grouping. but you have seen that you have investigated all most definitely on 2014, i write sector a private sector took over the national security apparatus. dimitri yarrow, she's actually the head of that. now his group runs the s b u, they are the s b u. so when you're looking at that level of security, that's now. now when you're looking at regional policing down to local level leasing in ukraine, that's asthma. they split the detail and it's basically because of their relationship between euros and bullets. keep. now they own
11:13 am
entire security apparatus in ukraine. on top of that, a lot of the members that are in narada are and been taught share the same politics of fall, the stetsco, and the entire basis of the government. that 1st came back the ukraine. they actually signed a contract, that's how they got the power of government in the symbols of government from the d . s. flora, which was o u n m. his name was nicola, ah, oh gosh, i'm having a brain fart right now. but on a condition that they set up a nationalist government, the orange revolution was the correct direction. they weren't happy with the results. so they took over all the kid, scouting groups in ukraine rate nation was for my dad,
11:14 am
and that's where everything presented itself. so he is ukraine as a nash roster nazi regime most definitely they can't walk away from okay. that here is all american investigative journalist ain't on boss georgia license. thank you. thank you. the red cross is sounding the alarm over the global food crisis. st parts of africa and the middle east are being hit, especially hard. the organizations director general say the conflict in ukraine is further deepening the critical situation. sadly, we can expect to see more images of under fed children in the coming weeks. as children are disproportionately affected by the food crisis in somalia, for example, the number of children under the age of 5 suffering from severe acute malnutrition, with medical complications increased by almost 50 percent compared to the same period last year, was just to del, further into that according to
11:15 am
a recent red cross reports, a quarter of africa population does not have enough to eat leisure. and martinez, which is 40 percent less food dumb the 5 year average reasons for that's one of the many countries in this a hell region are in the midst of the severe, dried enough gamma stun. the price for which flour is up 47 percent compared with a year ago. while cooking oil is up 37 percent, a big increase for locals. the world food program estimates an additional $47000000.00 people will be lacking food this year compared to the same time last year. and the report comes prior to a 4 way meeting tomorrow between turkey, russia create and the un on the issue of grain supplies. well let's welcome live onto the program now. robert martini roberts, the international committee of the red cross director general, and is very welcome to the program. can you tell us 1st, the effects of the current weights and fertilizer export crisis?
11:16 am
we see so many times the headlines of which, what are the regions affected most and how are they dealing with the crisis? was tragically hundreds of millions of people are at risk of tv hunger in the coming month. the word food program estimates an additional $47000000.00 people will be fully secure in 2022, bringing the total figure to $811000000.00 people in africa alone. 346000000 people are facing to view food insecurity. that's one quarter of the confidence population who doesn't have enough food to eat. but it's bigger than africa. if you take syria, for example, that has been torn by a decade of conflict. and even before the escalation of the international conflict in ukraine, 90 percent of syrians live below the poverty line to 3rd were dependent on humanitarian 8 and 55 percent were already if we did secure danny sun, you mentioned in your report the increase in beat and oil prices,
11:17 am
but it's also a 91 percent increase of the diesel prices in yemen. approximately 16000000 people representing 70 percent of german population are experiencing prices levels of acute food insecurity or above. so. so really the situation is hitting hard. many places practical under you, hopeful about developments from tomorrow's meeting and tracking green exports might, might help up, might lessen the plight of people in those countries. why do we need to keep coke? i c r t and the red cross. but i want tied the, i'm extremely concerned because we see different trend overlapping. first, the sharp increase in humanitarian needs because the hardest hit places are places where you have the compounded effect of crisis as decades of armed conflict,
11:18 am
the effect affect climate shock and climate change. extreme weather event, drought hitting the same communities the, the socio economic impact of the 2 year covet, 19 pandemic. and at the same time, in these countries, most of them are heavily dependent on grain coming from russia and ukraine. most of them also are experiencing a very hard economy situation where the purchasing power has gone down and the price of programming for humanitarian organizations such as ours has sharp increase. and at the same time, there is a decline in donors, generosity for our global p, that has been out pouring of $30.00 for our work in ukraine. but at the same time, we decline of humanitarian funding. elsewhere on the issue,
11:19 am
military held lethal a to to ukraine has been significantly bigger than monetary and donations to developing countries from developing countries. where are you surprised by that or is enough to be expect or indeed, what does it tell us about western western politicians priorities. right. well, you will accept that i will not speak to military because the role of i c r t to ensure that human suffering does not happen despite arm. but if you have seen for humanitarian funding is really striking. we have seen this outbreak of generosity in your brain and a decline of humanitarian support as where the i started together with our partners in direct cross and resistance movement. we have really increased food assistance on cash support for areas with the functioning markets. but in many places,
11:20 am
there are unfortunately no functioning market. so we work to strengthen the resilience of ease of time. it is the to agriculture and support feeds to life thoughts. and this way we have them absorb to a certain extent, i would say recurrent shocks. but my, my point is, and i completely understand your political view, but have western nations nations in general that can help have they done their best . have they done enough to protect vulnerable populations of africa? and as you say, other areas, the middle east and beyond, i against what's happening could, could, could much more be i don't know, could the influence of those politicians, should it be shining a lighter spotlight elsewhere? well, i think most of our donors are acutely aware of the challenges globally in africa, in the middle east region like afghanistan. and they are trying hard to safeguard
11:21 am
some of the funding for the region. the fact of the matter is the global economy in isn't a such situation that it, it's, it's hard so absolutely much more needs to be done. and 1st, to be quite frank, what the i c r t expect is more political leadership to and conflict in the 1st place. because as long as conflicts are happening and are driving humanitarian needs, we are only addressing the symptoms of the problem and the right way to do it is to have political leadership to and conflict in the 1st place. the un security can. this is the job of the you execute the council. and of course in the meantime the i, c, r, c and other humanitarian organizations are ready to step up to support. and this is what you're doing. well, thank you for coming on the program and giving us
11:22 am
a sense of what is going on. robert martini red cross, director general, live rti, president biden. well host the mexican leader today at the white house. it's happening a month after under as manuel lopez, abra door snob, the summit of the americas organized by washington. he also recently said the western policy of sending weapons to ukraine has failed and suggest the conflict could have been afforded. how easy it is to say here, i'll send you this much money for weapons. i provide the weapons and you provide the dead. it is immoral, couldn't the war in ukraine have been avoided? of course it could. the policy failed and look at the damage. it causes the loss of human lives right now. you know, the issue of ukraine is very prescient in the mind of the united states and mexico . i am low called the involvement and the sanctioning of the, of the west a cross error. so it's, it's not just a matter of,
11:23 am
of him disagreeing. it's a matter of and looking at it as an error. this is also push am low, closer to his latin american ho hort's. as we have been seeing what then about the american content itself that's going to be front and center the issues there, isn't it? yes, so recently am lo decided to not attend the bite and democracy summit of the americas held in los angeles. and he decided this because of the exclusion of venezuela, nicaragua, and cuba. because the united states does not consider them democracies, but rather ad autocratic governments. and so this is why he decided not to attend enough whether there can't be a summit of the americas. if not all countries of the american continent are taking part is very hypocritical of the united states. because meanwhile, they're trying to talk to venezuela to get some oil because of the situation going on with the sanctions against russia. they refused to recognize nicholas. my
11:24 am
daughter has a legitimate president and they have also invited one why go to the summit of the americas and still recognize them. so there is that, that's that tension with the americas. that once again, lopez rather is taking a stance and pretty much showing us that he is standing with latin america and he's trying to get closer to those relationships and build upon them as well. but one of the big issues, the stumbling blocks between the countries is always immigration. when such meetings happen, how is the issue developing? i'm indeed our country side of the united states. what are they doing to curb the influx into the us? mexico has been telling the united states something that would facilitate and, and kind of curb. the immigration crisis would be to provide temporary visas to provide these visas to a lot of agricultural workers, farm workers that go in to say, states like california. and the reason that there's so much, so many of them say here illegally is because they don't have the ability to return
11:25 am
. once they go into the united states, they can't leave mexico to for mexico, or they'll be unable to return and make that money. so this has been something that has been talked about since the bush administration in terms of that. and of course, recently we've seen the just the unfortunate event in san antonio, texas with the death of $53.00 migrants that were found in this truck in this trailer. and the vast majority of them were from mexico. so there's going to be that, that, that focus on curbing this and also am low, has actually demanded that the united states get away from interfering in their sovereign relations. he has pushed the d h s out have given them less power. 2 and he has done this in a way that kind of makes the united states and the particular, the biden administration uncomfortable saying, why is, why is he having better relationships with donald trump? why did that happen? alongside such policies towards migrants, the u. s. is accusing mexico,
11:26 am
violating human rights why? so the united states is, is accusing mexico of, of being at fault for the death of journalists of not tending enough to the drug problem. but imo, has particularly particularly the i had this pretty much saying that he does not believe that he is at fault and pointing out the hypocrisy of the fact that the united states is the one persecuting a journalist. trying to extradite julian assange and giving him a whole life sentence essentially trying to exert international jurisdiction over the free press. so they have no ground to stand on on this regard, sheila, you know, if he's 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. finally, what else do you expect or shouldn't been discussed today at the meeting? thing that's never discussed in the media is the electricity, the global climate energy crisis. there's 2 very different points of view here. the
11:27 am
united states is pushing towards a green energy, and mexico, of course, has recently tried to nationalize their energy, which he felt sure of doing am well fell short of doing, but he was able to nationalize the lithium and that makes the united states uncomfortable via the private sector, the multinational corporations and the investment. and this is something that mexico was very proud of because they see this as reclaiming their sovereignty. being, having the lithium there to use for the people of mexico and not to be exploited by outside forces. pure isabel. now, europe is currently losing the war of words over the conflict in ukraine. not the frank assessment of the foreign policy chief usage burrell, who admitted there are plenty of countries in the world that don't sure the west's view vents 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 then trying to hold the regime accountable. but other countries and we
11:28 am
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, 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. oh. busy busy
11:29 am
we're 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 of an entirely different nature to any conventional threat to our security that britain has faced the full ah we came, we saw that he died. ringback busy ah, russian foreign affairs, mister sir j. leverage has said that the west has buried freedom of speech with its own hands. western nations blocked and banned 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,
11:30 am
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 analysed a new online safety bill strengthening, press protections, it specifically mentioned that the new measures would exclude the work of our tea and sputnik journalists. these supposed democracies have been doing everything they can to marginalize narratives that deviate from their own western media. veterans have commented on the veracity of the narrative control.
