for a year with warrens china, not to escalate the situation in, ty wanting to a quite so off to policies that the to the region. that's as beijing belief begins, large scale, military exercises and health trade with ty pay. this rocket is called hurricane and it landed right here in this playground, ukrainian ami a text of indian areas underneath that reportedly stuff and stick backs and the towns of pitts get an update which i used to finding positions to talk at the done bus. and in an exclusive interview with all t foreman, austrian foreign minister,

kevin, can i 0, she is. hi, she i to feed europe of the faith and decorate over her ties with russia. i was forced by various carbs, so public institutions have to call them a russia. you have to take the spence from president put then you have to regret that you ever had contact with president putin. yeah, i said, i'm not going to do all that with hello and welcome talk to international. we're coming to you from our studio here in moscow. i'm point clear. it's a pleasure to be with you. how words coming from the chinese foreign ministry who caused the u. s actions anti one, a well planned for the ministry added that these publications are not accidental and the key was actions in the region will have consequences to why the u. s. is acting treacherously on the taiwan issue,

blatantly playing with fire and blatantly becoming an enemy of one wouldn't be $4000000000.00 chinese people and it will never and well, the chinese army has just started the largest largest scale military exercise striking targets in the eastern taiwan straits this comes as the us tries to down play house be, can nancy pelosi recent visit to ty, one saying there is no reason for basing to overreact. there is no reason for aging to turn this visit, which is consistent with long standing us policy and into some sort of crisis autism. karen takes a closer look at the consequences of policies visit to taipei. china is already taking action as it won't, it would fall out from palostio. whirlwind trip has been swift and brutal for quite rightly. people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual chinese companies and entire sectors of the economy. here,

taiwan has already paid your visit and is likely to continue to do so. with the coming days of week. what concrete tangible benefit can you promise taiwan? offset the cost of your trip. a tricky question. slightly 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 already taking hold. global market, so spooked and the largest military drills around high one in decades. ah, let's say might prove that the economic measures imposed by china will hurt taiwan . the most staging has already banned imports from $35.00 taiwanese exports plus

restrictions on some fruit and fish. and will it 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 all. so is it any wonder that there were people in taiwan who weren't engaging in the pillow? see, love fest non pill. what do you mean? hello. see what the hell i doing here right now? i'm all the way here to the board. the table. nice people support yourself. you want to support us to fight against the peoples of duration. army americans always ask us to learn more to when people join the army. whenever you come to, to wine, want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against the people's liberation army and urban terrain. it's none of your business. i here to support. i want to provoke

a war on the how are you doing here? below see the relationship between the mainland until one is already very tense, you know, supporting to one what we don't need your support, your lease really pairing oil on the flames. you only make things worse. so who did this flying visit is 1st with us simply pelosi. he wanted to be pictured an a chair in ty pay before she potentially 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 he's 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. they can 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 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 for the u. s. as punitive sanctions. and then there's the ukranian people who critic say a 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 in hiroshima 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 have tie one 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 covered nuclear program in time, one to deter 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 u. s. continue to increase its unofficial military presence in taiwan and also spending hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to ty pay. 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 in 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 ministration is in the midst of policy. chaos and nancy pelosi has exploited this the very precipitous manner after the meeting with a tie when he's president, nancy pelosi made some questionable remarks. she cited benjamin franklin, but confused. a famous quote on the unity of liberty and safety. benjamin franklin, the presidency, said, freedom and democracy,

freedom and democracy. and one thing security here. if we don't have, we can't have it either. if we don't have both. while her trip came with words of hope, freedom, security, and unity. the house speaker 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 with us the us meddling in asia as politics. well right now, the united states hasn't understood that you can have an opinion without committing to an 80 arctic policy. was in my opinion 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 nancy pelosi is completely right to express her opinion.

the problem is the way that the u. s. 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 to roll 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 the stupid 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 ukraine, where ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered major losses. neither towns of pesca and of the africa. these are used by ukrainian troops as firing positions to target that in its region, where 2 people were killed and at least 25 wounded over the last 24 hours. and those figures are according to d, p on officials. the wounded include 5 injured by so called petal mines, author corresponding woman concert love is in the region. ukrainian army continuous shilling civil in areas of the nest canal. a shell landed right here in this, sir. well, 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 old 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 here 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 done that that's been bombed by ukraine and 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 continues as we speak. we arrived here and found this rocket. apparently this is from a multiple rocket launcher. this sir rocket is called the 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 terrors, and it 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 leg? 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 there just to normal people that had been subject to 8 years of war already. it's disgusting, isabella, it tomorrow. so to talk, when i was meeting 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. yes, civilians here in done boss,

ukrainian nationalists are shelling the city of dan esque with very high caliber artillery including that. so that was delivered from an nato countries now 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 this. so there are also mining civilian areas with so called a butterfly mines or betel mines as they are sometimes called m. as a result 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 and waste and tension surrounding all things. russia. many people who refused to cut

ties with a country face enormous pressure among them. former austrian foreign minister, kevin castle, who has received death threats and now lives in lebanon. ought he had a talk with her on how her life has changed in recent months? the full interview you can watch later him a naughty 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 knelt anymore in austria. and i was forced by various parts of public institutions. you have to condemn russia. you have to take the distance from. 3 person put, then you have to regret that you ever had context please. 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 am by myself. so 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 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 friends on. as many people are still under the impression that i'm in austria and others who have followed a little bit to the back who they believe i'm wasting money on my in my villas, in southern france, if you want to confuse the enemy down up 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 in 4 months, you and that they said trouble that they call it the europe. i grew up in freedom,

legal predictability, security doesn't exist anymore. and things proceed the way they proceed now in many european countries in terms of blackouts. here and level non people know how to live with black. i know how to live with 23 hours of electricity, but this is not the case for many use societies. 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 a bush annie and to a 1000000 soldiers have been confirmed dead in the disputed territory of no going

to come about with tensions have once again fled at least 14 more armenians were reportedly wounded. according to an official statement from going to come about military menia has blamed the violence on as a bush. any unit for violating a ceasefire. now going to occur about has announced a partial mobilization and mid unconfirmed reports of continuing caches that the present defense ministry claims has taken control of t, tara trees in the caribbean region. as the bush any troops launched an air strike during the operation hitting and amelion military unit, the command of the russian peacekeeping contingent, his taking measures to stabilize the situation together with representatives from both sides. we spoke to journalists from emilia and the vision to get more on the situation as a by chance, unlike the eyes 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 thirty's 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 the terms of by over medias or armed forces to capture the strategic how high or whose mountain range and schools person warm to d. r means i called from now on any tours,

ex ampro vacations committed to the sovereign in the sovereign territories, wasn't roger will, will be resolutely suppressed and response measures will be even more crushing. let's cross check us funding. we have for national from year event, amelia's capital. so masha, one of the latest updates. and how is the situation developing they on the ground? yes. hi, paula. well pensions are high in the disputed territory of nor gordon cut off 20 months after the military conflict. there had ended up with the si, fi agreement between media and as it by john mediated with the help of russia on wednesday. as you know, the, as it by johnny troops launched an air strike heating that are mean in military unit, claiming it was a response to the armenian armed forces, illegal activity in the area now. but who is saying it's taking control over the

strategic heights and key territories in the cut off region at the same time or media is blaming as it by john for violating the ceasefire agreement. one as it by john in to armenian soldiers have been confirmed dead. we've a 14 more armenians reported wounded. there was already an international reaction to what's happening in the board. and they could, over with you and washington, both calling to end the fighting. the gordon to cut a bar has announced a partial mobilization. and he's now saying that is trying to stabilize the situation in that region. with the help of the russian peacekeeping forces, patient in the area, this conflict is more than 3 decades old. and they could have bought broke away from was it by john with the help of armenia after the collapse of the soviet union in the early ninety's. in 2020 as it by john and other media for to war and but who was able to win bag some of the territories. and the sides then agreed to end the

fire. but apparently, the region still remains a source of trouble back to you call them that thought. maria financing that. thank you for that update. washington's brand of increasingly real politic, foreign policy has seen the u. s. approved. new on fails to saudi arabia to come to iran. as well as criticizing the recent constitutional voting to nivia while supplying alms to tunis, ortiz caleb and dig deeper into the story. washington is always extolling 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. talk,

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 p 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 gain 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 is desired, us made weapons certainly are makes you wonder what the priorities of us officials really are. caleb martin, r t new york. kevin queer tusky retired u. s. a. foster tenant colonel says u s. policy is this 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're not about democracy. they are about influence, arm sales, and having allies that will obey. well, that brings us to the end of this bulletin for more stories and breaking news head to our website at ot dot com. meanwhile, from me in the newsroom, thanks for joining us. for

a, i was called a russian pig, a russian prostitute, and austria. i have repeatedly received death threats. you putin's prostitute. one should cut your throat and bury you alive. the russian pig needs to be strung up for me. lebanon is despite every thing, an opportunity to live. the country is in decline and you can feel it. what's left here are sick cats and dilapidated buildings for the 3 and a half years ago. karen, can i so was still the minister of foreign affairs of austria and i am now she lives a simple life far from her homeland. she was expelled from europe in lebanon. she has a chance to start a new life and live in peace,

the regime economic crisis with inflation of more than 200 per cent. and as a result, power outages in the country are a lesser evil for can i so compared to what she had to go through. shortly before her departure, we visited her in france to talk about the reasons for her departure. i was very tired, and already in the fall of 2020, i decided that i would have to leave austria. it was a forced decision at autumn. 2020. let me remind you. it was long before the war. long before i joined, the board of directors of raw snapped, but even then in the fall of 2020, i was attacked on the streets of vienna. i was called a russian pig, a russian prostitute. i could no longer work in austria on when 2 of my books were published in june and september 2021, one about diplomacy, the other about the prospects of personal mobility. they were boycotted, therefore i had to buy part of the circulation myself. no one wanted to review them,

take them to libraries, have in the fall of 2020, it became clear to can. i saw that she would have to leave austria. she went to france with her dogs and horses. and initially she stayed in hotels. the french secret services did not help her with a search for housing at all. huh. as i said, in the autumn of 2020, it became clear to me that i had to leave austria. i took my dogs and pony which are over there, and i think you can still get to know them better. later. i've been looking for an apartment for a long time on long term rent. in the fall of 2021, i finally found it french media contacted the owners of my house, interviewed them, and they literally told them, don't let her on the threshold. and the most curious thing is that no one has contacted me personally. even then my name was on the blacklist and this was even before this resolution of the european parliament from the end of may when sanctions were adopted against me. but i am obviously on some lists that i don't

know anything about. and as for me, this contradict all legal norms and the rule of law because even if we compare in previous centuries, for example, in the 17th century, during which hunt indictments were at least declared to them, there was a hearing, there was a jury to whom they had to answer and there were protocols, it was all written down somewhere. but what happens to me is not fixed at all. this is a media campaign, and i learn about a lot of things only indirectly, but i never come across it directly. so what am i guilty of the russian pig should be hanged, animal killer, the k g. b. more threats of physical violence and insult slanderous articles are increasingly appearing in professional media. karen, nice. those daily life looks more and more like a nightmare. i contacted 2 lawyers in austria with whom i have successfully completed 26 trials in the past. at that time, in the spring of 2020,

i was accused of killing animals poisoning them. the media accused me in particular of poisoning animals with navy chalk that was just the beginning. the media campaign was rather huge and there are many reasons for this. we can discuss them later. and in the last few months, new attacks began. one of the reasons for them was that i live in a luxurious life here in the south of france in a villa on the cold does your and bade and money. that's how it's all presented. and when the war started, and ukraine, national is making money, their hand over glove and does not want to help refugees and so on. that's how it all started. i don't live in luxury here because no matter how much i teach it to university is in moscow, no matter how much compensation i received from ross snap for my activities on the board of directors. because of sanctions, all the.
