[000:00:00;00] who i'm with you with horns, china not to escalate the situation in time. one and 2 are quite off to pollution for the to the region. that's of beijing begins. large scale, military exercises and hopes, trade with type pay. this rocket is colder hurricane and it landed right here in this playground, ukrainian army attack civilian areas. internet purportedly stuff is sick, back in the towns of history and ad whitaker, which i used as farming positions to target the dumbass. mm hm. and,

and an exclusive interview with all t form austrian foreign minister. kevin, can i choose how she had to flee europe after facing death waits over her ties with russia. i was forced by a parcel for public institutions. i have to condemn russia. you have to take dispense for the poor. do you have to regret that you ever had contact with fraser? i'm putting i said, i'm not going to do or with hello. welcome to our international. i'm paul is clear. we're coming to live from us studios here in moscow. it's a pleasure to be with you. the u. s. is trying to downplay how speaker nancy pelosi is reason for the to tie one saying there is no reason for beijing to overreact. there is no reason for aging to turn this visit,

which is consistent with longstanding us policy and into some sort of crisis. beijing was quick to respond to the statements coming from washington, saying that us actions in the region will have consequences to why the u. s. has acting treacherously on the taiwan issue, blatantly playing with fire and blatantly becoming an enemy of 14000000000 chinese people and it will never end well autism. aaron takes a closer look at the consequences of policies visit to ty, pay, toner is already taking action as it warned it would fall out from palostio. whirlwind trip has been swift and brutal to quite rightly. people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual chinese companies, an entire sectors of the economy. taiwan has already paid a co field visit and is likely to continue to do so with the coming days of week.

what concrete tangible benefit can you promised taiwan? offset the cost of your trip. a tricky question. slickly deflected because she knew exactly what she'd done. and americans have made a bit of a habit of doing things like this. throwing others under the bus in service of their own goals, and the consequences over this brief trip are already taking hold global market. so spooked and the largest military drills around tie one in decades. ah, let's say might prove that the economic measures imposed by china will hurt taiwan the most. beijing has already banned imports from $35.00 taiwanese exports plus restrictions on some fruit and fish. and one might not sound like

a big deal. the ban on son to which the island was already short of plus if a key component of ty, one's greatest export semiconductors, which have not be mentioned. well not yet. if aging does decide to go further, people on the streets will be sure to feel it. china is tie, one's largest trading partner after role. so is it any wonder that there were people in taiwan who weren't engaging in the pillow? see, love fest funny 90 pill. what do you mean below? see what the hell i doing here right now? come all the way here to sport the 2. these people support yourself. you want to support us to fight against the peoples of the ration army that americans always ask us to let more day when he's people joined the army. whenever you come to taiwan or want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against the people's liberation army in urban terrain, it's none of your business. i hate to support taiwan or to provoke a war one. how are you doing here below see the relationship between the mainland until one is already very tense. you're supporting to one what we don't need your

support. you are literally filtering oil on the flames. you only make things worse . so who did this flying visits? first was simply pelosi. he wanted to be pictured in a chair in ty pay before he attention. he gets kicked out this november, or was it the war hawks in washington hooping ratcheting up the china rhetoric for months now? oh, and of course, the military industrial complex, the very heart of american foreign policy american officials have been quietly pressing their tie when these counterparts to buy weapons suitable for a symmetric warfare. a conflict in which is smaller, military uses mobile systems to conduct lethal strikes on a much bigger force. so you could say what it has here is a win win. not only does it make money on selling weapons, but it also has a leaf on us weapons at the ready in the region. should it decide it needs them? as we know, tie one wouldn't be the 1st to pay the price for the policy. the dc warhawks, people in afghanistan all starving because the government can't access its own money,

which is frozen by the us. those tens of thousands of venezuelans who pay the ultimate price of the us. it's punitive sanctions. and then there's the ukranian people who critic say dying needlessly, just in american pole. and the u. s. proxy war with russia. but apparently in the long run, it's always a price worth paying. we have heard half a 1000000 children of god. i mean, that's more children than died when went in here, a shame and you know, if the price worth it, i think this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the price is worth it. so now he's taiwan, and pelosi won't even give it a 2nd thought she got her photo. after all, the united states has been supplying the island with arms for years, with even talks of a covert nuclear program in taiwan to, to, to a potential chinese attack. as well as speculation on the possibility of

a direct military confrontation between the u. s. and china in the region of strategic importance for washington. over the years, the us continue to increase its unofficial military present in tie one, also sending hundreds of millions of dollars military aid to type pe, despite rising tensions with beijing while officially sticking to its one china policy. we discussed the controversial us actions with scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer. there is no doubt that the united states has been disingenuous in the implementation of its stated policy objectives . that had been agreed upon with china regarding non interference and the internal affairs of china centered around the one china policy words don't match actions. that's the problem. the united states continues to claim to china that it is supporting a policy of one china, but it's words and in what it's doing are completely different in china has been

calling out the united states for some time. now. warning that statements made by the united states government officials are very dangerous and that the united states needs to carefully reconsider the rhetoric. it doesn't appear that this is a deliberate act by the united states to provoke china. it appears that the binding administration is in the midst of policy chaos and nancy pelosi has exploited this . the very precipitous manner for a meeting with a taiwanese president, nancy pelosi made some questionable remarks. she cited benjamin franklin in her remarks, but confused a famous quote on the unity of liberty and safety. benjamin franklin, the presidency, said, freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy. one thing security here. if we don't have,

we can't have it either. if we don't have both, while a trip came with many words of hope, freedom, security, and unity. the house because was criticized by many for making the contentious stop on the island territory. that has driven a wedge and relations between china and the us. often for her former vice chair for the libertarian national committee, discussed the us middling in asians politics with us earlier. well right now, the united states has an understood that you can have an opinion without committing to an 80 arctic policy live, in my opinion, is that taiwan should be a completely free and independent nation. but i'm not willing to commit us soldiers to it. i'm not willing to commit us taxpayers to it. that's just an opinion of that . i hold of what i think an ideal world would be like. and then suppose is completely right to express her opinion. the problem is the way that the us government is running right now. a foreign policy is opinions,

seeing that they need to turn into military expensive, costly, military action immediately. and that's where i see the problem. right now the united states is over spending on a lot of just stupid and pointless welfare and military programs. and those are all expensive programs. and in order to fund them, they're borrowing a lot of money from china. now, if china ever refused all over the debt, the united states would be in a huge situation that have to cut back a lot of these programs. so in order to keep wasting money on these programs, they have to stay on good terms with china. so that's why they're even though 99.999 percent of americans agree that taiwan should be a separate country. the federal government can't really say so publicly because they're financially dependent on china to fund their stupid welfare programs. moving now to ukraine, where ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered major losses near the towns of

pesky and sca. these are used by ukrainian troops as firing positions to target the demit region where 2 people were killed and at least 25 wounded. over the last 24 hours, that's according to d. p. r. officials. the wounded include 5 injured by so called petal mines, onto correspond enrollment costs above is in the region. ukrainian army continues showing civil in areas of the nest canal. the shell landed right here in this, sir. oh, residential area is the result. unfortunately, one person had been killed. this woman right here was right next to her house, doing some gardening, unfortunately, ukrainian shell ended her life. this wednesday was in years of and i need you to do 3 such attacks. incessant shelling has become more frequent in the last 2 or 3 weeks. yes, it all started 8 years ago. but specifically, over the past 4 months,

everything has intensified. there are no military hare at all within a radius of 2 free kilometers. there are no meal true bases nearby. this is yet another a heavily populated area of the net that's been bombed by you korean military on a daily basis. and see residential buildings all around me. actually my relative lives in this building right here. he called me late last night saying that something very heavy fell into into the playground. by the way, the shilling continued as we speak. we arrived here and found this rocket. apparently this is from a multiple rocket launcher. this, a rocket is colder hurricane. and it landed right here in this playground. thankfully, it was late and no children were present here at all. at that time, he saw the impact crater was right next to a teeter totter right in the center of the playground. ah,

we don't know yet whether there were any children or adults or anyone damaged or, god forbid killed. but this is another act of ukrainian terrorism. couldn't be more clear out at the same time when we're walking to that site. i'm looking down at the ground thinking like, are there any more of these butterfly minds, or am i going to lose a foot her like are the people here in this densely inhabited, working class neighborhood? are they going to lose alike? western is, of course, perfectly silent. about this, these poor people look at them though just to normal people. they had been subject to 8 years of war already. it's disgusting, isabella. it boom also took what i was knitting and suddenly there was an explosion as if the corner of the roof collapsed. i was shaking all over a big explosion. tears are still pouring. the russian investigative committee continued to document a war crimes committed by the ukrainian military, a yes civilians here in done boss. ukrainian nationalists are shelling this city of

the nest with very high caliber artillery including that. so that was delivered from a nato countries. now are scenes of destruction just like this one are everywhere in this city. and of course they're heard civilians as well on tuesday. at least 2 people had been killed and 25 were wounded. now the crane and military are not only shelling the city which result in destruction like of this. so there are also mining civilian areas with so called a butterfly minds or better minds as they are sometimes called amazon results of that flight. people have been wounded and now there will be disabled for life. vermont also have hearty done. there's people's republic. ottawa correspondent, ungrateful of 12 was hit. i shall fragment when ukrainian soldiers threw grenades at a unit of the next militia troops. according to andre shrapnel caused an injury to his leg,

this is fatigue. he sent us from the scene. the korean army launched grenade and artillery fire. the fragments were next to us was we are living and could not make any noise. our group was spotted just as i saw. they kept throwing grenades at us. i got hit in the leg, but not much of a midwest. intention surrounding all things. russia. many people who refused to cut ties with the country faced enormous pressure among them. former austrian foreign minister, kevin, can i soul, who has received death rates and now lives in lebanon? archie had a talk with her on how life has changed in recent months, the full interview. you can watch it later on. our team. irrationality in dealing with russia has always been around. but ever since february 24th, of course it's gained once moral and intensity. and in february i was quite grateful that i happened to be in france and milt anymore in austria. and i was

forced by various parts of public institutions. you have to condemn russia. you have to take distance from president, put you have to regret that you ever had context. president said, i'm not going to do all that. yeah, no, i'm not going to condemn. i take this then this is not my side. i never was in politics. i don't consider myself as a gentleman, politician. i wasn't about running for a party. but i also found out in a very harsh way that nobody would ever open them out for me. i'm an easy target and i'm by my side, if anybody is trying, is deciding to cut down all my bank accounts, then i'm lost and nobody will care. people still believe that i am either austria because there are lots of requests. the other day i got a request from a kurdish party, they wanted to ask me to help them with context and trans on. as a little deborah,

many people are still under the impression that i'm in austria and others who have followed a little bit the back who they believe i'm wasting money on my, in my villas, in southern france. if you want to confuse the enemy, not many who know or who have realized that i am in lebanon. may also believe that i'm in russia, that i'm cross running the propaganda, and this is for matthew, and that the central, whatever they call it, the europe. i grew up in freedom, legal predictability, security doesn't exist anymore. and if things proceed to way the proceed now in many european countries in terms of blackouts here and let people know how to live with black, i know, ought to live with 2 or 3 hours of electricity. but this is not the case for many useful fighters, so maybe in the very end, i was even lucky to come to 11 and even so i didn't come out of choice. she asked me what would have to happen that i should go back. i would say

a lot of people will have to say, sorry, we apologize for what we said about you for what we did against you. and 1st i would expect them to apologize and not to make my life impossible. one as the bridge i me and to amelion soldiers have been confirmed dead in the dispute. territory of no gonna care about the way attentions of once again flayed. at least 14 more armenians were reportedly wounded. according to an official statement from the not gonna come back, the military armenia has blamed the violence on as a bush any unit for violating a ceasefire. now going to come about has announced a partial mobilization amid unconfirmed reports of continuing clashes that as a bizarre, any defense ministry claims, it's taking control of key territories in the caribbean region. as opposed to any troops launched an a strike during the operation he's seen and amelion military

unit. we spoke to journalists from armenia and as the baton. to get more of the story. as much as i'm not sure i should by johnny side at 9 am on wednesday, launched aggressive military operations in various directions of the arts. our republic using weapons of various calibers rocket propelled grenades and strike rounds. according to official reports, there are 2 dead and 14 injured on the armenian side. now, our thirties are taking measures to stabilize the situation together with the russian peacekeeping forces. despite the fact, the situation is stabilized by 6 pm. the president of the republic has signed a decree on partial mobilization. this is not the 1st time that either by john has violated the ceasefire. and the 3 party declaration adopted by russia as they are by john and armenia missile defense. he held a briefing for local journalists and he informed them the operation actually was

launched as a response to terms of by over millions of, i mean, armed forces to capture the strategic height of whose mountain range. and this falls from warm to d. r means size i called from now on any tourist x, ampro vacations, committed to the sovereign in the sovereign territories, wasn't, was our will, will resolutely suppress response measure. it will be even more crush washington's brand of increasingly real politic. foreign policy has seen the u. s. approved new arm sale to saudi arabia to come to iran, as well as criticizing the recent constitutional voting to nas yet while supplying alms to tunis artists cannot mauppin dig deeper into the story. washington is always extolling the values of democracy. regime change operations are presented as

defending freedom and opposing dictatorship. this is caused us officials to call out some of their allies. here's what joe biden said about saudi arabia. we were not going to, in fact, sell more weapons to them. we were going to in fact, to make them pay the price and make, and in fact, the pariah that they are off top talk for sure. but that hasn't stopped them from selling huge amounts of weapons to re odd. the proposed sale will improve the kingdom of saudi arabia as capability to meet current and future threats by replenishing it's dwindling. stock of patriot jim t missiles, the new weapon, the sales to this so called pariah add up to roughly $3000000000.00. the united states has also been critical of tunisia. we strongly support the democratic aspirations of the chinese people and inclusive and transparent reform process is crucial to restore the confidence of the millions of tunisians w h. o. either did not participate in the recent referendum,

alar oppose the new constitution. tunisia has experienced an alarming erosion of democratic norms over the past year and reversed many of the 2 nation people's hard one gains since 2011. but again, criticism of tunisia is secondary to a large flow of u. s. arms sales to the government of tenicia from us weapons manufacturers. many in the united states were hoping joe biden could convince saudi arabia to increase crude production output and drive the price of oil down. now, saudi arabia will be increasing output a little bit, but not enough to drive down the prices for september. now, while the oil may not be flowing as desired, us made weapons certainly are makes you wonder what the priorities of us officials really are. caleb martin, r t new york. kevin feel tough ski over time. he was a force for tenant colonel,

says us policy is mission less about promoting democracy and more about exerting global influence and power protection. i think the hypocrisy does lead to a drop in trust, but i don't think there's that much trust there to begin with. i think the saudi government understands exactly what they're dealing with with the united states. i follow the money. i think the defense industry is the biggest export that the united states has even bigger than energy and even bigger than agriculture. and tunisia specifically is an example of a country that has been extremely useful to the united states, certainly as a recipient of military hardware. america's role in the world to, to control things to interfere with countries that are doing what we tell them to do. this is where fundamental power is exercised politically in this country. and

so they've been on about democracy. they are about influence armed sales and having allies that will obey ah, moving now to africa, where the longest exports of natural gas is seeking bricks. membership. algeria is president recently expressed interest in joining the group of nations, stating the country meets the conditions to join the alliance. how corresponding co op, alyssa in south africa explains why many countries have stayed largely neutral over the conflict and ukraine, and what benefits the bricks? the membership brings south africa was the last nation lead into the bricks club, back in 2011. since then other countries, especially those on the african continent, are also buying in to joint. here is the view of one of the richest countries on the continent. we need bricks firstly, because it allows us to move away from the attraction of the 2 poles. and secondly,

we're a leading country in the non aligned movement. therefore, god, granted, this will be our way. algeria is just the latest strategically important country to one to join bricks, egypt, iran, turkey, argentina, as well as saudi arabia. i also came to become members of the slump. why now you as well the confrontation in ukraine has really cut a line between east and west with clearing differences. the global south and east have mostly chosen not to take the stuns of antique russia sanctions. instead, they have chosen the path of neutrality, but they also see this moment for what it is historic and opportune to join with friends and partners. and they also are tired of that line from washington and go, that says you are either with us or against us. whether that's material support,

whether that's economic support, whether that's financial support, to russia, any such support from anywhere in the world would be of great concern to us. plus, president putin and other leaders of the alliance have already stated publicly. that bricks provides every liable economic alliance and alliance that will not interfere with a country sovereignty, but would rather focus on areas of mutual economic benefits. so rather than freeze acids or put sanctions on a country, they will focus on areas of mutual cooperation. the overwhelming majority of the world's countries do not want to live as if the colonial times are back. the vast majority of states want to be independent, want to rely on their own traditions and to rely on their own history and their old friends. by continuing on the path of cooperation and bringing in new members,

briggs believe it can achieve great things. i mean, just look at the numbers, the bricks, brock and his g. p would be around $24.00 trillion dollars. the bricks group of nations are also minimally and doubt. they have oil, they have minerals, they have coal, they have guests. and then when you add saudi arabia and algeria into the mix, the possibilities could be even greater than ever. imagine. we discussed the perspective of al jamie's membership with the president of the books, international forum, po nina and, and, and a professor at the university of johannesburg. patrick bond ideas ready, and then when they are joining they will be the team maker for shifting all under the new system. it's gonna come me and traditional control how you manage that. some of dollars is going back and many countries i'm not of the

government is also come to get it. and it will extend that group, spend trees, a group of frequent countries in the law, which is very important. and because of the being and bricks is coming up with new power in new northern african countries or american countries on the song and europe in countries. and they did not get very or, but not most feared to grow. these countries that had any problem all or seen and mostly problems, big country, this problems are not the yes they are having their i could send an article level. so that's the objective to what they it's very much

a signal that the western alliance that it's had really for decades is now too stressed and much of north africa. and indeed many emerging economies are going to be faced with this choice. i mean, argentina and iran, and the big question is whether the chinese invitation to other countries, even saudi arabia, which is had its difficulties with us. will this be attractive if western had gemini is threatened? if the us dollars becomes less viable, the bricks may be seen as an alternative power base. you know, pac hasn't been doing a very good job and job. i've been trying to get home and been solomon and be saudi back into the western camp and not move into alliance with china and russia. that's a very big pulls. well, that brings us to the end of this bulletin for more stories and breaking news. it's our website at artie dot com. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more updates till then take care.

ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, movies on often has very dramatic development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk hardware store priorities suit, russia, syria,
