a with that do that, do not stay with ukrainian army shutting off residential buildings and on yet because we understand leaving 2 civilians dead at least 3 injured. that's according to local officials. also analogies program today, india could be set to become an asian strongest economy in the next 2 years. ultimately, vitalize by economic reform is in various business investments. and this is all according to morgan stanley. usa sales hit $20000000000.00 in 2 weeks with one 3rd go into countries previously slammed

by joe biden, has autocracies with it's a busy saturday here at auto international in moscow, and a great pleasure to have you with us today. thanks for joining. we start the program with all the latest updates from the ground in ukraine where kiev shelling of don yet because left to civilians dead and the 3 injured as local residential buildings were targeted. ah, no, it's not what i do. dutch said dorothy red nod, stay here, or there. okay. did that? yeah, according to i, don't you ask officials, 30 residential buildings were struck by ukrainian shelling li, upcoming footage are showing one house heavily damaged, as they're realised, scattered all around the area. you can see for yourself here at our tea, we spoke to a woman whose husband was killed him at all this. how will i repay all this?

how will i bury him? what will i say to my grand children when they arrive and ask, where is grandfather? i don't know. i don't know how to continue to leave things god that the children do not leave me alone. they support me. how much more grief there will be. there were 3 or 5 attacks and my husband was hit, then there were a war and another man died. where had no water, no electricity, because the wires were caught. i took care of my husband all i could, but wasn't able to save him, is good that the ground children were not at home. it would have been a disaster. russian and lead troops and their don yet people's republic currently pushing towards the key city of our char mosque. according to the russian defense ministry, kia has lost more than 2000 soldiers and fighting in solid art. and among the advancing forces is out of the private russian of military company called the wagner group. in archie correspondent, eager to shine off was what he got

a rare opportunity to join them. and also though, to look at the abandoned positions of ukrainian troops who continue according to local officials to use civilian areas as firing points several years ago. many weren't certain if this unit was real or just a spine chilling myth. it's the most reclusive and cryptic company fighting for russia and the don bass. this is the wagner group. ah ah, the village of the cross glare refused to fool for weeks to defended. key of commanders deployed some of its veteran troops with plenty of experience in ugly

warfare. so from the outside, this looks like an anonymous village. ha, just a civilian house, but trust me, it is not. and as i go, please pay attention to this very badly decomposed body in ukrainian military uniform. but if you were to just follow me, you will discover this, again, an anonymous to shed. and again, it is not. you can see the trench, the trenches over here. so this is a firing position. there are several basements all around the place with similar firing position. so what is this if not, prove that ukrainians use civilian houses as their cover, and basically anonymous places like this. but it takes more than just dirty tactics to stop the wagon, a group dubbed as the orchestra, the ensemble and other music inspired nicknames. they pounded this very position for long,

violent 8 hours until every one of the dozens of resisting ukraine's troops either fled or met their maker. this is one of the basements amid village houses, where the ukrainian troops used to shelter. this is a good hiding spot because you can see it goes quite deep on the ground. the roof here is reinforced. and if you wondering what this ropers is done for safety, for closing the door remotely, the village is largely deserted, yet a handful of civilians with no other place to go remain at the same time. ukrainian forces are still shelling the place, targeting the musicians in a whack a mole style. we live together with the russian units. my husband is an insulin, we just ran out. i ordered some ones, then again, the delivery failed. now they've taken him somewhere. i think that will get the medicine without the insulin. things would be bad, he would die. the orchestra has moved on already. there are the 1st and only unit

to have breached the defenses of the city, of our term, of the next big thing on this direction. ah, i'm walking along the same road as the most enigmatic unit. fighting on the russian side, this is the under the village. and this is the last house here, which also turned out to be the final fortification, on their way. at washington continued to call for freedom and democracy in various parts of the world. it's meantime making rec, or profits in the arms industry with $20000000000.00 worth being sold to countries with a of really questionable human rights records. his art is a rachel blevins. she's investigating the story. us has become known for lecturing the world on the principles of freedom, democracy,

and liberal values. even taking extreme measures to target governments in washington claims aren't meeting the right standards, but those values appear nowhere to be found when the country in question is buying weapons from the u. s. government. in fact, the buy in administration just signed off on nearly $20000000000.00 worth of foreign arms deals in just over 2 weeks. the top countries of the receiving end of those deals include germany and the netherlands. reports are now drawing attention to the other members on that list. saudi arabia and the u. e. noting that more than a 3rd of the deals, the u. s. just made we're done with governments that they have a long accused of human rights violations. we were not going to in fact sell more weapons to them. we were going to in fact, and they can pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are. and in the same way that they have drawn attention from human rights groups. so has egypt, which has secured more than $2000000000.00 and

a deal with the u. s. this year. but despite arguments of the white house could still intervene and could put a stop to around $300000000.00 and direct military support. similar to the way it said, it would hold $130000000.00 and funding at the start of the year due to human rights concerns. well, president by then has yet to take any action the consistent pattern of human rights abuses committed by the egyptian government. and evidence that u. s. military equipment has been used and such violations should require the administration to suspend all arms transfers to egypt in order to comply with longstanding us law. the same goes for us armed deals with the philippines, where concerns have mounted over citizens rights to press freedom and to criticize their government along with the government's fertile war on drugs where thousands of deaths have been reported. but well, secretary of state blanket appeared to talk to when visiting the philippines last week, biden did the same during a trip to the middle east. last month, however,

the white house still has yet to follow through on those promises were willing to exercise your rights. you contribute to build a stronger economy, reduce the size, and more modern cable military for citizens can question and criticize a price. countable is accountable institutions that are free from corruption act, transparently respect to rule, are the best way to deliver growth, respond to people's needs. and i believe ensure justice. but despite all of that talk, it appears that money also talks. and in this case, it's speaking much louder than any concerns. the u. s. government claims to have over the security of human rights overseas. so how can the u. s. government still be taken seriously, as it continues to profit heavily off of supplying the very weapons that are used to commit the same human rights violations. it also claims to care about. we

discussed the record breaking sales with michael maloof, a former pentagon analyst. the united states is competing, frankly, with other, other governments, china, russia. but, but more important, it's trying to establish it's, it's a gemini and its influence because they want to cut off any possibility that the united states will have. those countries begin to turn toward russia or china for to, for alternatives. egypt, for example, easily could get arms from the, from, from russia, if one of the but it, but the united states puts aside its arguments about human rights and what have you, when it's convenient, where the u. s. policies are, are hypocritical. and in this case, it has to do with power politics as well as money. and only if it suits united

states where they use the human rights argument and talk talk in terms of democracy when in fact it's not practicing democracy itself, particularly at home. well, it's good to have you with us for this program here on anti international as we understand counting is under way in kenya's presidential election, but as it waits to find out who will lead next, the country is really dealing with some pretty big issues right now. not at least out of a growing terror threat in the region, apparently okayed, as most significant affiliates have been digging in their heels without his poor slayer investigations. this has been one of the most visually contested election in kenya's history. the nation is divided over who should lead the country, but if there is one thing that canyons can agree on it that their government with american assistance is failing and its fight against tara one. it's been 3 and a half years since the last leisure attack in this country. alex,

about one of our can. i does largest wealthiest and most deadly affiliates has roots here and it's growing. there aren't random attacks against civilians leaving an undercurrent of fear and uncertainty. it's the high profile tragedies that make it to the international headlines like back on the 15th of january, 2019 terrorist, a standard on this lecture. hotel, an office complex. 19 hours later, $21.00 people were dead and the country was left wheeling and shock. 6 years earlier, this shopping center was targeted for 4 days. people crouched in terror while they were held hostage during a shootout between kenyan soldiers and police, and somali militants out about the claim to we're extracting revenge for kenya's operations in neighboring somali territory. the americans have been there for years already trying to stem terrorism at its core. it's a common sentiment hearing tenure that any american assistance has

a price that of political influence i string to manipulate the liberal compared countries so that they can take control of their economies. they pretend to be good to these vulnerable countries, especially nafrica, where they be that they know and it doesn't depend on their grounds. so they only say in for inviting influence a dental resume so that they can take advantage of pretending to be giving up glance sought, but to instead, they only want to get involved into our affairs by been entering into mining. although i mean at all taking control of our political situations and political and general governance, they want to control us. and it wasn't as american is actually, africa. africans are very vulnerable. they don't have enough resources. we have enough resources, but americans are taking it back to their land, the manufacture loosing that they be, they bring back to us in terms of selling. that's why they're trying to manipulate us so that we come not to, we stop believing in ourselves. they want to make us feel that we are still inferior to fight, is that the fight is selfish. celebrating the condos that the americans want to do

. they want to benefit from these countries. because even as we have a good, what is, what is it? it means there was to go, these countries go over, is that jim change these countries? some of these countries in the, in the hint, if i had gone and now back in may biden or did hundreds of back into somalia asher bob continues to conduct attacks. certainly they're in somalia, they have been capable of conducting attacks in the region and we know that in the past they have expressed at least the intent and desire to attack outside the region including against the american interest. so tara is on the wise in the region and is spreading to more countries black uganda, which just last year experienced water attacks than ever. it originates from somalia moves through tenure and is claimed by ausa bad pinions. no, another attack will come against the backdrop of surgeon emotions because of

a loss. when at the ballot box, there is an undercurrent of restlessness, policy, a r, t, at election headquarters, nairobi, kenya. so it's pretty heavy competition. india is set to emerge as agers, strongest economy over the next 2 years. that is, according to the investment management giant, morgan stanley, the projection come as the continent. 3rd largest economy grew a full 9.2 percent this past year as needed. he pursues an india 1st strategy. here's our contributor, article a 1000000 by morgan stanley is going to be true. oil prices drop below $90.00 and i'm the export growth by 21st. if that happens in debt is certainly going to be the strongest economy in

asia. but having said that, the fact is that india has done very, very in the last few months, especially because india has gain extra digit independence, resolve the foreign policy and international trade of the fact that the need to countries having pressurising india against buying russian oil that discounted prices, i think it's something to be going to do it here in the i did not 500 back in the i went ahead and bought russian crude oil, which has been in the did the economy and it has had india to recover all the losses that it during the go no, by this time, no fact is that the west has been pressurising, india against buying. not only why from russia,

but also on the demonstration and veterans system just just happens to be the biggest supplier, a mission to india. we continue to work with them to ensure that they understand that it's not in there. we believe that it's not in their best interest to continue to invest in russian equipment. what i can say is that india is a really important security partner of ours now, and that we value that partnership moving forward. i hope that part of what happens with the extreme criticism that russia has faced is that india will find it is now time to further distance itself from russia. but it seems quite clear that is going to always go find it for national interest. the more the government has made it abundantly clear that not let me make a difference on, on why it is quite clear that india will continue its partnership

with our show on both of the just defense as well as you know if you will. so i spoke with it, i think at the sky, director of the geopolitical economy, research group who started despite outside pressure. india will continue to pursue an independent policy major western institution such as banks and so on. they love to talk up india because india is less problematic for them than china has been for the last decade. and most the projections are coming from best of financial institutions that are not interested in india becoming closer to russia. busy china or whatever, but objective forces pushing the national interest, pushing india. and that actually definitely does a lot of best and pressure on india. i mean if you look at the largest c, as we know, increasingly the world is being becoming bipolar. once again,

it's also too small sizes, it's playing both sides of the drugs, so to speak. because on the one hand, of course, it has benefited enormously from russia. need to export fuel both in the form of bowl and in the form of either a, etcetera. on the other hand, india also hopes that somehow, for example, it will benefit from the rest and re directional supply chains away from china to what is it. so it's a much more complex than just gustavo petro columbia's new leftist president, says the problem of drug trafficking is no longer just a u. s. colombian bilateral issue. but now it's a global one. investigation into the murder of paraguayan prosecutor. marcello patchy by uruguayan drug trafficker, mar, set in columbia, shows that drug trafficking has long ceased to be a columbian american bilateral problem and is today in american. and global problem . he says to war on drugs has failed and the world needs

a new way to stop scores from di. it's so don't worry about this time for new international convention that accepts that the war on drugs is fail. that is left 1000000 latin americans murdered. majority of them colombians in the past 40 years, and they leave 70000 north americans dead every year due to overdose of drugs, of which none are produced in latin america. the war on drugs strengthen matthews and weakens states for a moment. here, let's take you through some of the figures he's facing in the country today is he tackles the issue. more than $600000.00 colombians use drugs, the country produced an estimated 70 percent of the cocaine consumed globally last year. and males age between 50 and 64 are the main users in the country. among them though, is more than $128000.00 youngsters. earlier in the program, we did a us be to several experts who gave us that takes on the different angles of this problem every year here in the united states,

we lose more people. the vast majority, the opioid overdose is which is coming from afghanistan. and through mexico in made right here in laboratories, this has nothing to do with columbia or south america. this is long been a fig leaf justification for us war on not drugs, but the people of south america in the sovereignty of south america. for how many decades have we seen the colombian government and paramilitaries actually collaborating with the us government and carrying out their agenda. so the u. s. is by no means innocent in this matter. is the ability of the night use. these is going to be really in our nations, in latin america come regionally from children. as a result of the war, dr. united states was able to pressure the colombian government to

sign the 1st defense corporation agreement, which the united states install between $7.00 to $10.00 military bases that were allowed to use every facility, community or civilian in the country in any event of conflict. you can imagine that it's more or less given the country united, but ever since, you know, we only reinforcement again drug trafficking, a selection in columbia between 30 to 40 percent. and do you think it's 92 percent with columbia to the consumer, united states. so it is a very soon so they can release as much as possible to n b. j is from people who are mine. no, nina is a very good. a process with the cuban government was sitting down with the l in

gorilla. in order to spread that government of peace as well as opening the border with going to swell, recognizing the constitutional president nicholas my door. so i feel that they could stop at that all might have a china within the institution, but he will be able to, to be successful because he has a lot of the backing, get a lot of support because law means i sick and tired of this war on drugs while they just good to have with us today. so, roger waters, the co founder of the legendary rock group, pink floyd, made headlines this week for his stance on global events. it all took place during a c and an interview where he berated the presenter. well i roger waters never bite says tongue. he's definitely very switched on these days. do you stay with a big exclusive interview unit o'neill, my colleague and roger waters of pink floyd, ah,

ah, international, thank you for your time today. can we for a moment or 2 on the recent interview you granted to see and then it got a huge reaction, both from those green and opposing your views. but did people watching it really see exactly what you said? it's been a lead. some of it was cut out, is that right? yeah, that is correct. and if you, if you want to see any more about that, i believe on youtube, you that have still got the whole into view up. so you can see that it was heavily edited. which is a shame because the whole interview is only 18 minutes long. i think they add 7 minutes, 7 or 8 minutes. so the cut out about 10 minutes. i don't, i mean that

a little bit of judicious editing is cool, but all the conversation i had, for instance, about the ukraine was heavily edited and her and so didn't really represent my real views. i do have real views on the ukraine by the way. i sort of feel, i'm in a very privileged position here talking to you now because there are very few places where i can get any air time to express my views and the views of all the other fighters for the piece. and there are millions of them in the united states, as i'm sure there are in russia. and as i'm sure there are in ukraine as well, probably more than anywhere else. and what we're all fighting for is obviously in the short term piece in the ukraine, an end to the war, which i think could be achieved pretty easily. and beyond that, a support for the universal declaration of human rights in paris in 1948.

that is the other platform upon which i would stand and well until the day i die. am i to, i mean, ugh, i could talk about michael smoke cornish em. who if you watch several interview, you'll see that it was quite a jovial affair. in fact, that the end of it, we shake hands and you know, we agreed to talk more on some of the point. and so if you want to talk about that we could. but i think there are far, far more important issues that we could address. mainly very mainly piece in the ukraine. we have to all pulled together and join our voices and to demand that the parties come together and start to talk to one another. that means the united states of america in its leaders agreeing to be involved in talks to stop the war. if i, if i might just stare, continue without injury for just

a little longer. i, as you say, i was a jovial afer after the view. indeed, the presenter joke, but you are a trouble maker but behind the banter and he was a fan. you can see that it is not how any one is seen who doesn't tow the mainstream lajna an an irritant for want of a police. of course it is. yeah, of course it is. but will know that that's true in almost every country in the world. anybody who doesn't tell the government line as a troublemaker. i bet you've got millions of troublemakers in the russian federation there. there are lots and lots of us in the united states, america and the u. k. and all over europe and all over the global south as well, of course, and i'm proud to be a troublemaker, the troublemakers, the important people, the troublemakers took to the streets in 2003, on february, the 14th just before the u. k. and the united states of america invaded iraq and

murdered about a 1000000 people said we were there and, and we weren't just in london and in madrid, we were all over the united states. we were all over the world. we were in the streets saying, this is a huge mistake and it goes against everything that we believe in. but specifically it goes against the universal director and declaration of human rights. the iraqi people have rights to undo or not liberating them. you're murdering them. and we said that 25000000 people in the street, i'll stop actually knew about that. but it's really important to know that we are a large community. so even though i don't know any of them personally, i am now representing world without war coat paint and i'll, i won't go on mentioning their names because there are too many to mention. but we are a global force of, we believe in love for our brothers and sisters,

all of them, including the russians and the chinese and the ukrainians, and the americans and the french, and the germans, the ecuador ins and the peruvians. and that she lands on the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. okay, so that is our platform. and we're sick of watching our lunatic leaders, including your lunatic liter banging heads. though though i do think in this case, well now i won't go there. you look, if you're going to get to the ukraine at some. well yeah, absolutely. but yeah, as you say youth, it's something very important to you. and unlike many people criticizing, you've done the research over many years as well. it was question mister waters. why your views were being heard at all, but i would suggest artist, cultural figures have always shared their view. so why are you being singled out? well, well, they haven't always unless it's a problem and they're not. now that's why i'm being singled out because i, i do feel somewhat of

a loan boys are within the context of the arena that i work in. i'm a musician, professional musician. i'm on the road. i'm doing a tour at the moment. i'm doing 38 gigs thank in the states and canada, and few in mexico and, and, and we have a very powerful message at the, in the showed that under which is the one that i described to you a few minutes ago. it's all about our belief that, that all our brothers and sisters all over the world deserve equal rights irrespective of their nicety or religion or nationality. and is that so it's a very, very simple message, but it's message that by and large and people in my industry are not purveying or spreading or, or they're not making a loud enough noise about it. that is why i'm talking to you today on archie cause you can, can you imagine in, in, in, in the united states of america. oh.
