12:04 pm
several years ago when many people died. now, washington is yet to comment on what happens in no vanka, despite the abundance of information regarding the death of a civilians in damage to civilian infrastructure. i mean, while american commercial satellite world view 2 was reported taken photos of nowhere. gov could just 3 days before the attack of the korean military. it's 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 wide. drones, also oil rigs off the coast of the black sea, the island. oh fuzz, mean the and russian border city of bill girl as well. remind cultural will slit
12:05 pm
stay on the subject of western weapons because european union officials have admitted that arms bond for ukraine will likely end up on the block market. it comes after russia warns some weapons were already in use by radical groups in the middle east. the european commissioner for home of 1st named it's impossible to prevent their trafficking 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. while huge amounts of western arms continued to flow into key. if you can see here, just how many heavy weapons ukraine has received to date, that's in addition to tens of thousands of firearms, munitions, and portable missile systems. some estimates, but they total cost a $38000000000.00 co director of the international action center activist group, sorry, flanders, fears the whole of europe on the middle east is being put at risk by these weapons
12:06 pm
. 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 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 operate, guaranteed profit. they don't care what happens to the weapons. is it make money for them? that is the way they look at their war to know the story,
12:07 pm
to bring the u. s. state department has accused the kremlin of resorting to anti semitism when speaking about ukraine. washington called the russian narrative about neo nazis and ukraine, quote, dis, information seeing it was being used to justify moscow's offensive. 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, only accusations by western states fail to mention ukrainian knew not see battalion such as as off and i dar and recent speech by president lensky to the greek parliaments given while beside to his off radical fighters received huge backlash from greeks libraries. unless he also compared the conflict in ukraine with the
12:08 pm
holocaust while addressing the israeli parliament, you may remember though, even before the conflict began, both the un and western media condemned ukrainian, neo nazis for violating human rights to discuss all of the less cross live all was a pleasure to welcome journalist ortho and funder of don, both inside a chris stell neon to the program. hi, chris bill. hi, you've been on the ground in the region for years. would you agree, or would you take umbrage with washington's assessment? that must go talking about neo nazis. it's simply a crammed employ. they're not a threat that burly exist. there are 3, of course. my colleague lauren murray is working all these new nazis. but our young like as of right sector and so long. and the more
12:09 pm
a searching the more is finding them and more or less finding also, you know, from the teachers of his research. now we have, he has found more than 60 of these battalions. so 16 in one that is better in ukraine, so pretend that they do not exist and that they are not a threat. for me is just completely amazing. and they are really dangerous. they are the more ideologically phonetic in ukraine. the, these battalions were the 1st to shoot against civilians, ended on boss in 2014 when the war began. and these people are also the ones who have connections all around the world, move our training. a lot of the frame mercenaries that we see now in ukraine. mercenaries, we can after go back home without any problem and can keep
12:10 pm
contact with their friends in ukrainian teen weapons. we have seen that in each of the few years ago, a group of italian new nazis was arrested in the founder who arsenal of weapons. and these new nazis had some of their members who fought in ukraine on the ukrainian side in the don't boss in the or not he's you need. so it's not difficult to understand from where are the most of their weapons. we know we know for sure now that there are huge weapon traffic in the ukraine weapons are re sold by ukraine's or ukraine receives a lot of weapons even from western countries and is a reselling them after 2 other fighting groups or to other people. and of course, it can go to these new nazis groups. few years ago there was a massacre in most k increase church in new zealand. and i discovered that there
12:11 pm
were some links between these guy and ukraine. and so potentially between these guy n ukrainian, neo nazis. so i think it's not a danger that should be pushed aside like these so easily as you russian propaganda by the west. because these people, when they come back in western country, they are trained, they know how to use weapons, how to fight in war. and they can even obtain weapons from their friends in ukraine . they are noon noon at these friends. so for me it's a really danger only for russia. very interesting point. raised another aspect of the u. s. state department at statements, krista, was that moscow as propagating wall of anti semitism, most insidious forms, holocaust distortion. how do you react when you hear them? it shit for me, sir. it's a pure bullshit. fishy. russia is the one we're really
12:12 pm
a defended the memory of what happened during the 2nd world war will cold during all these years, not to forget what happened and not to forget the holocaust, not to forget. wu, committed this all, accost it to glue. it includes, of course, people like will this b r o n? all these ukrainian groups was chief. we're been there or she should have each and the these people are now heroes in ukraine. so the russia made the massey mom to protect memory about what really happened or in will committed the holocaust during the 2nd new or worse. or for me, it's completely amazing. it's a complete i can to reverse completely the explanation. it's, it's, it's the one we're trying to fuzzy for history here it was
12:13 pm
ukrainians in this there that runs over the sea in and in europe and not russia just policy 20 reviewers out to maybe offended by some language, but obviously frustration and anger there from what you're seeing as you're going through the links that you are seeing there. chris, thanks for your time as always on the program and bringing us through that. the background as well. journalist and author finder of don, boss, insider, crystal, neil or i know the story to bring you aware of today. president biden. well, host the mexican leader today at the white house. it's happening a month after the rest. manuel lopez opened a door snob, the summit of the americas, which was organized by washington. the forum. he also recently said the western policy of sending weapons to ukraine failed, suggests the conflict could have been avoided. how easy it is to say here, i'll send you this much money for weapons. i provide the weapons and you provide
12:14 pm
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. yeah. 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, of him disagreeing. it's a matter of and looking at it as an error. this is also push and 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 low decided to not attend the biden 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,
12:15 pm
but rather ad autocratic governments. and so this is why he decided not to attend in a place 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 daughter has a legitimate president and they have also invited 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 over a door 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
12:16 pm
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 into say, states like california. and the reason that there's so much, so many of them say here illegally is because the, they don't have the ability to return. 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 a bush administration in terms of that. and of course, recently we've seen the just the unfortunate advance in san antonio, texas with the death of 53 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 lo,
12:17 pm
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 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 for us is accusing mexico, 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 been and 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,
12:18 pm
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 should be 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 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. amwell 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 is 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. europe is currently losing the war of words over the
12:19 pm
conflict in ukraine. the frank assessment of the e foreign policy chief use of burrell admitted there are plenty of countries in the world that don't sure 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 wester media could have something to do with it. it
12:20 pm
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. busy busy 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 of an entirely different nature to any conventional threat to our security that britain has faced the full. busy oh
12:21 pm
i see maybe as we came we saw he died. busy busy ah, russian foreign affairs, mister sergey 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 journalists 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 specific audiences have shot up on line since the bands, 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
12:22 pm
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 spook journalists. these supposing 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 boards. i've never seen the come a coverage so actually consume, i'd sonoma, your jingle is 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,
12:23 pm
this war in eastern europe to shut down domestic descent in the united states. if 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, andy platforming. and now that morale admits disappointment in the failure of their efforts. what are they gonna do? double down on their fails 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 they're successfully fooling or apparently themselves. the red cross is sounding the alarm over the global food crisis. seeing parts of african, the middle east are being hit, especially hard. your organizations, director general say's the conflict in ukraine has further deepening the critical situation. sadly, we can expect to see more images of under fed children in the coming weeks,
12:24 pm
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. and according to a recent red cross report a quarter, how about fergus population simply does not have enough to eat niger and martinez, which is 40 percent less food done the 5 year average countries in the held region are in the midst of a severe dr. enough ghana system, the price for wheat flour is up 47 percent compared with a year ago while cooking are not far behind. it's up 37 percent. the world food program estimates. and additionally, 45000000 people will be lacking food this year, converts last year. the report comes prior to a 4 way meeting tomorrow, wednesday, between turkey, russia, ukraine, on the u. n. on the issue of green supplies, the director general of the international committee of the red cross robert martini spoke to our, to you earlier and said,
12:25 pm
of ukrainian crisis has diverted the attention of politicians way from what is occurring elsewhere in the world. the role of i c r t is to ensure the human suffering does not happen despite arm. but if you have seen for humanitarian funding is really striking. we have seen this out putting up generosity in your brain and a decline of humanitarian support elsewhere. 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 some of the funding for the region. the fact of the matter is the global economy in is in a such situation that it's it's, it's hard so absolutely much more needs to be done. and 1st, to be quite frank,
12:26 pm
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 need up, we are only addressing the symptoms of the problem and the right way to do it is to have a political leadership to and conflict in the 1st place. the un security car, this is a job of the un security 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. now i want to bring you this story as well. before we go, there's been some sweeping statements from the former polish president, lech walesa, who said he wants to see a change to the political system in russia or encourage an uprising of people. here, there are 60 ethnic groups in russia who have been annexed. these people who've been annexed should rise up. it is necessary to completely change the political
12:27 pm
system of russia, or bring it back to a population of less than $50000000.00 inhabitants. oh, hello, russian foreign ministry spokesman maria's a heart of are responded to thought statement saying the style of words were just like what ukrainian radicals preach. and so also a senior policy advisor for the u. s. commission and security and cooperation in europe say ukraine must be alive to strike military sites in quote, occupy crimea, at ballard, bruce and russia. geo politics expert pierre emanuel to mon, believe the goal of the west is to dismantle russia. the statement reflects over geopolitical objectives of the west 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
12:28 pm
and above all the united states is to maintain its supremacy in the world, especially in europe, and do to do so in needs to fragment you ratio and earn by fragmented, you raise your and oversaw early may go after over fragmentation of ratio, for example, you have is split between your european union on russia, russia on central asian states, over next step is of course to, to try to dismantle russia itself. it has been always on the agenda. there has been a huge sure propaganda machine by the western, especially in very atlantic countries, di coupon by kick countries or to a united states united kingdom or to were damaged from a reputation of russia. p error manual to man taken us to the end of this bulletin,
12:29 pm
but stay with us because next week timeline, why the government overthrow of 2014 in ukraine led directly to the conflict being witnessed today in don bass. it's, it's yours condensed into 26 minutes. i let's right ahead that goes ah, do i need to go with you. so now what we're showing a portion of my down, you know, to be shy the court, what do you wanna? boy, a shawl network with a question not in the sri. media surely was nip is no i put the most of them will
12:30 pm
be stupid with the free, i'm to consider a slightly goes from destiny people. it was wrong. so home like, will you be for me like that? it was for them with the universe without us because she, she knew me yet. oh, the russian speaking se ukraine refused to accept the cruise outcome. people took to the streets of ukraine's largest cities that had been protests in honk of a desa, mario pope, and zap our osha mash protest broke out in the crimean autonomous republic. and overwhelming majority of crimean citizens voted as a referendum to break away from ukraine. i did march 2014 crimea rejoined russia with his course which is or or is it with us.
