will work a different part of joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang with national socialism, or now he's the good they were heroes of ukraine. paul correspondence uncovered that nationalist propaganda in school textbooks as he travels to the city of scot, dosikin, ukraine, phone region, fully controlled by russian. that forces with nato admit, it's hard to be in planning to expand its military presence along russia's borders . years ago, before the war and ukraine begun completely ignore in moscow's red lines. a betrayal of the afghan people. ta locals have branded us plans to transfer

$3500000000.00 worth of frozen afghan assets to a 1st bank. we heard from the cobbled central bank law had left one of the rightful owners of the frozen assets or the afghan people. the decision of the us to transfer one part of that amount to a switch bank is totally illegal according to international law. and not so happy birthday. as the thea market 75th anniversary, we look at the track record of the agencies laws and controversies on the cuban missile crisis to the taliban resurgence in afghanistan with the week is just getting on the way in moscow. my name is peter scotts and welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. they are not international. and we start with the latest developments in ukraine where battles continue for the carcass region.

russia says it's destroyed to ukrainian ammunition depose in the car cove and the raja regions. it's been reported the fighting in the city of piano is still ongoing with the western parts under russian control. meanwhile, officials in the done yes. republic say that done yet was hit by an artillery strike on sunday. and moving on to the region in the south of ukraine that's been under the control of russian led forces, amid battles falling, a ukrainian counter offensive in the region. our teeth rod goes d. a has been to the city of scott, also, and center this report. the russian national guard behind the front lines they wage a different kind of war. fresh intelligence has come in ukrainian nationalist part of a sleeper cell has given himself away. national guard sped that yet the go ahead

with that because i know i hear you with quote it with virgin them will record you will the border you foreigners, if you wanna do business with you with the proposal very, very for june. 3rd sort of good. but grown difficult. give them up. okay. perfect. no room for them for the money, for flooring. in almost every case,

the excuse is the same. someone asked them to what shall weapon or a bomb cache for a couple of days in almost every case. it turns out they light. ukraine is waging a massive terror campaign in areas it has abandoned or lost. kiev has opted for car bombings, assassinations, and tara almost entirely aimed at civilians. those ukrainians who dare side with russia. it can be a death threat, a bullet, a bomb, or a tactical misha. scott dogs far from the front lines and the little military value was recently targeted by a barrage of ukrainian torch. good me, selves. 2 was shot down. one wasn't. he said, oh no. there was a dog and i was calling to let her know, but i will definitely where, but it was

a thing of which girl don't like the up stella mules langer. are you finding re can one of us come last? i didn't usually, if i, for one of the 1001 is for right film. but at my link i do wish to simulate your model is typically available. if i am the subject of, of music via the, from nick the, for me, the steps that have been in the eyes of ukrainian nationalists, the locals, deadly seen, was to accept russian control. they adjusted to a new life. and the key, if that is unforgivable, ah, it may seem surprising. but the school rather what was found here, the b to misers rushes argument that is had no choice, but to act. schools were being turned into temples for radical nationalism. these are some of the textbooks that have been removed from the seroquel of ukrainian students. for example, here in these textbook, a 5th grade, the textbook,

we learn that the, my, that revolution was the right and just thing. and this was written by the people who were behind the my dad revolution. they went straight to the kids in another textbook. this is for 11th grade. as we learn that national socialism or nazis were good, they were heroes of ukraine. here you have old bach propaganda posters. ease with nazi collaborators. yet kids a told that they were heroes of ukraine, that russia has always been a drag on ukraine and has always abused ukrainians. we learned that i'm on to k, which was a hero of ukraine. this is a nazi collaborator behind the deaths of thousands of jews in, in just one instance that has been verified and proved. we also found the number, of course, works or essays written by students. 11th grade, this again, they were made to write essays about step on by better step on by better who is

people not only collaborated with nazis and offered them their help. but in one instance, lou massa could 60000 polish civilians to make way for pure blooded ukrainian, vats of schools in dudes indoctrinating the young pumping them full of hate before they know any better. but that is now the past. they stood him until j. that's so we'll keep it all in an archive. we won't destroy the books, they will be kept now a museum. we will replace them with textbooks that russia has already started to supply. and i'm sure there will be more supplies in the future. the school somehow kept its heritage the museum here choose history as it was a modified by political trends and nationalist dogma, ukrainians and russians, learning and living side by side in peace and harmony for generations. but i wanna

show you something as we from here, a little girl heard, 2nd read went up to our driver and gave him these picture her and the soldier and the rainbow life here is going to be very, very different. more i'd gasdio r t from scott duff's. his own region on nato has revealed its plans to increase his military presence on russia's borders years ago before the conflicts in ukraine broke out. and thus, despite moscow warning, the alliance not to cross, it's red lines with mol on how nato renee, on the promised that it would not move one east. the east is fiorella isabel. despite russia's clearly marked red lines on nato expansion. the west has been blaming russia all this time painting booted as the villain and saying his actions

in ukraine were, quote, unprovoked nato is a defense alliance. they said, however, it turns out the block had planned to expand its presence eastward towards russia's borders. years ago, long before the current conflict began and ukraine, we're talking about the biggest overhaul of our military structures since 1949. the planning for that started several years ago. but now we're implementing it. it seems nails defense chiefs didn't hold back, emphasizing a need to sustain and increase allied support to ukraine. the addition of finland in sweden and highlighting that nato will back ukraine for as long as it takes with one collective priority. collectively, we must deny russia the possibility to change today's rule based international order. yet if you look at nato's official policy with russia and the promises from

western politicians, things read a little different. nato enlargement is not directed against russia, nato, as a defensive alliance. every country that joins nato undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. this includes the commitment that nato does not see confrontation and poses no threat to the russian federation. we set out to build a good relationship with russia. if we maintain a presence in germany, that is a part of nato, there would be no extension of nato's jurisdiction for forces of nato, one inch to the east. it appears that the west is peaceful words have it exactly followed their actions as russian president vladimir putin pointed out, back in february. them when we have promised that they would not push nato's infrastructure eastward even one inch. every one is well aware of that. they said one thing, and they did another, as we say, in our country, they cheated us. they deceived us,

and put in isn't the only one. many western analyst and journalists have long admitted to nato's arrogant and toned death policy towards russia over the last quarter of a century. warning that continued expansion eastward would not end well. it would be extraordinarily difficult to expand nato eastward without that actions being viewed by russia is unfriendly. even the most modest schemes would bring the alliance to the boat as if the old soviet union and what have these options of expanding eastward actually accomplished for the west other than higher energy cost and a potential dark winter? well, it looks like european nations have rapidly angered their own citizens into mass protests against nato and its disastrous economic consequences. ah,

the while nato nations promised not to cross russia's red lines, promised not one inch east and promised that pose no threat to russia. a detailed paper trail of their actions shows the complete opposite. their most recent admission vindicates russia, but also shows that the block hasn't been transparent. and that pompous attitude has not done them any favors economically or with their own increasingly outrage populations. the u. s. is said to transfer parts of afghanistan's national assets to a bank in switzerland. the central bank of afghanistan has condemned the decision as illegal similar headline, one of the rightful owners of the frozen assets are the afghan people. we had this money for foreign trade payments. the decision of the us to transfer one part of that amount to a swiss bank, establishing an institution there to disperse the money to hand it over to some

private organization. setting their own rules for political purposes is totally illegal according to international law. how can they refuse to transfer that money to our central bank? this is a betrayal of the afghan people, the people's will and consent was totally ignored. and the afghan central bank was not consulted. we denounced c u. s. decision. the ursa ministration says it's will not release money directly to an off gun institution, as there's no guarantee that civilians will benefits. as the taliban seized power in afghanistan, us froze around $7000000000.00 worth of after an assets. us president ordered our to direct $3500000000.00 of those assets to finance payments for law suits by $911.00 victims. meanwhile, afghanistan faces a severe humanitarian crisis. on saturday, hundreds of our guns protested against the us plan to send part about going to send us it to a swiss bank. demonstrators waive bundled with slogans,

blame in the us for the humanitarian crisis in the country. they called the immediate on freezing of the assets and the prosecution of soldiers who committed war crimes, the country the americans have no rights to seize or $9000000000.00. they have violated human rights. and again, as it is unfair, if they don't give us our money back, we are a poor country and face a terrible situation due to very low per capita income america sees $9000000000.00 from and now they see they will transfer a 3500000000 to a swiss bank, we're southern country under taliban rule, and our central bank is fully functional. we demand the united nations and other world bodies influence the united states. i want to transfer the money directly to our government, so it can be spent on getting people. during the last 2 decades, the americans did not serve our nation and they instead betrayed us by bombing our homeless and massacring our people at a large scale. they killed our children,

attacked our wedding parties and bomb our funeral. we appeal to the united nations to convict american and british military generals and bring them to justice award winning journalist and it's a martin j says that the u. s. is playing the hedge a minute card by demanding strict refund conditions for the central bank of afghanistan. i think the case of the stone mother is just one more element of your boxes. the initiative that binds, taken ministration to transfer the funds to switzerland and hold the money in the account. not likely in the short term, that the money's going to be transferred to the conditions, the reg appliances for the mines who actually be transferred to kennesaw, very strict indeed. they're playing the gemini calls and also are saying to the africans, tyler, bunch of look, let your central bank distances so politically from you let your central bank agree

to a few conditions that we lay down. and then we'll let you have the money, you know, and will trust the central bank distributor accordingly to the very desperate corners of the country. this is the way of controlling countries is a way of getting the telephone to itself in order in the news this sunday, march, 75 years since the creation of the main u. s. foreign intelligence agency, the ca. and while us present, joe biden has previously praised the agency as a bedrock of national security correspondent drank, who takes a look back at this is often flawed and controversial track record. just how old is what supposedly the world's most powerful intelligence force. it may seem the c, i a should date back to the early years of the u. s. itself, but in fact, it's even younger than the man who's currently president. the agency only appeared after world war 2 and failed at what was most expected of it back in the days to

predict the conception of the 1st soviet nuclear weapon, time to flick through the archives in on the basis of the evidence. now in our possession, it is estimated that the earliest date by which it is remotely possible that the ussr may have completed its 1st atomic bomb is mid 1950. but the most probable date is believed to be mid. 1953. the words of one of the 1st central intelligence directors from 1948 silenced by the sound of the soviet union's 1st nuclear bomb test. in 1949, as the agency celebrates his anniversary, veterans will probably speak of their own glory, like former director mike compared did a few years ago. i was the see. i, director,

we live, we cheated was they got all that like we, we had with entire entire training courses. have it remind you of the glory of the american experiment. the word glory. next to lying, cheating and stealing. perhaps that sounds okay. if your head of the cia glory i was through throughout its history, the cia had multiple failures and has also been shaken by large number of scandals and disclosures. surround the operations, it has conducted a significant number of these operations were attempts to topple legitimate governments, heads of states, both successful and unsuccessful. what's more glorious, a rather long list of the agencies, mistakes or cases when it was involved in some of the. busy worlds nastiest practices, nothing to do with america security going back to failures,

sticking to nukes. the next thing that comes to mind is how the c, i initially didn't expect soviet warheads at americas doorstep in cuba. we all know how they got that one terribly wrong. staying with the 19 sixties and cuba, the failed bay of pigs invasion should rang a few bells. events that turned out to be a surprise for the agency include the 1973 young key, poor war in the middle east, or the 1979 revolution in iran. the seventy's, the late seventy's, were high point for the soviet union. the you, us was in terrible, ha, ha state. i think after, after of the combined o setbacks of the, of being run out of the se, asia of soviet influence in africa and angola with through their cuban clients was growing. and then we moved into 90. we went through the carter period, which was

a long period for cia. beyond that supposed slow period, even the breakup of the soviet union in 1991 came out of the blue for langley. but most notably, the cia couldn't predict and prevent 911. the intelligence community struggles throughout the nineties and up to 911, to collect intelligence on and analyze the phenomenon of trust, national terrorism. the combination of an overwhelming number of priorities fled budgets. and now it's noticed, structure and bureaucratic rivalries resulted in insufficient response to this new challenge. but surprise, surprise, the u. s. intelligence said they found weapons of mass destruction in iraq. oops, deliberate or not. that was a mistake too. and moving on to the most recent past. oh, that's painful. what did the c i do about the taliban resurrecting in afghanistan? last year. we're back to where we were 25 years ago. afghan gorillas have defeated

a superpower and made their country and inviting hostile for a new generation of aspiring terrace. and the cia will have very few american spies on the ground to assess that threat. bid oh, solid. been logged in with his al qaeda? or the tell a man and it's 2021 resurgence. it's widely seen that washington is still dealing with the consequences of how the c i a flooded of ghana stand with weapons in cash in the 1980s, all to try and deal the soviet union a fatal blow. i have a $1000000000.00. the heads knew where from i had $250000.00, more or less full and part time afghans willing to stand up and fight. but there are many more archive pages to be flicked through the scope of controversies. the

agency has been subject of is truly impressive, ranging from allegations of drug trafficking, when backing the anti communist contrasts in nicaragua to claims of widespread torture in secret prisons all around the world. america, physically, american legislation bans human torture, but only on u. s. territory, subsequently there is no american law. the forbids using these measures outside of the us. these measures include experiments on people using various medications, hypnosis and other physical impacts. naturally, these are issues that should not be a part of intelligence agencies, scope of activity. oh, what a reputation. sadly, it even makes you want to replace the word intelligence in the name with a few other words from super m. c. i a has performed functions throughout the past decades that show it is not purely an intelligence agency, but an instrument of the u. s. aggressively imposing its policy and neglecting

international norms and laws. this policy is hedge, a monic, and aggressive towards other countries. well, happy birthday ca ah, at least 5 banks have been robbed in lebanon amid the country's worst ever financial crisis. lebanon's banks have lost most deposited outs of their savings since an economic crisis took hold that 3 years ago, leaving much of the population, unable to pay for basic goods. he saw station of banks in lebanon, announced that all banks would be closed for 3 days. starting from today, monday ortiz for saint i had report was since they looked upon us, the banks are being stormed in lebanon. several have been attacked by depositors demanding that they receive their savings. customers are threatening to set banks on fire to use weapons and further escalate the situation so that their rights will be upheld. a successful day in thought. ellen, we are the depositors outcry association. and we are declaring war and these

lebanese banks, after 3 years of peaceful means, our demons have not being met. on the contrary, the government is trying to impose a law to control the capital, and legitimize the embezzlement of the depositors funds. we are not going to remain idle. they're trying to turn us into criminals, but we are seeking to uphold arise as we are trying to get our money back up. the said all the escalation is creating panic and confusion among bank workers and has prompted the national banking association to completely shut those establishments for 3 days. the interior ministry has called for an emergency meeting to discuss these events and work on a plan to stabilize the situation in the country. no my, that he good are the depositors need to be careful. it is important that nobody instigates them to destabilize the situation and the country we know there are powers prompting the customers to do so. the security service is investigating such organizations high, but the details are confidential. what the thumb old woman on what is crisis has been ongoing for 3 years. and lebanese government still can't find

a solution to guarantee depositors rights to their own money. people keep on escalating the situation to defend their rights. because of this, the country has entered into a period of instability in a thought variable which done the storming of the banks, lebanon has been impacting everyone seeking to uphold their rights. it's turned into a nationwide problem destabilizing the country. and it says that this is their only chance as the government has failed to find a solution. hussein i yard r t a route run. so protests on saturday against the actions of the so called morality police allegedly resulting in the death of a 22 year old woman. she was detained on tuesday for not complying with he job regulations, and later died of a heart attack. women took off their had jobs to show their opposition to harsh police penalties for not wearing a headscarf. according to the police must armine, who later died in custody, didn't have her fully covered,

and was detained. in accordance with the law. protest is blamed police. her death came and that she was beaten. that's something that officials deny the local media reported multiple injuries during the rally. security forces used to gas against protesters the by an administration has recently pointed to the importance of controlling the digital assets while saying the u. s. government should identify current gaps in crypto currency regulation. chris ems is a british crypto currency experts who's on the f. b i's wanted list, allegedly for organizing a crypt. so conference in north korea and helping the country evade us sanctions. it was accused of help in north korea, develop block chain technology to transfer money across borders. he was detained in february, saudi arabia, but was late to released as we are decided not to expedite him to the u. s. my colleague donal quarter, got more details from chris in osteo. the you

were detained in saudi arabia, the u. s. f b, i want you because you were in north korea and some sort of block chain conference . give us the story. so i was indicted by the by the f b i back in the end of january this year for violating us sanctions that are only a pickable to us people as you can probably tough for me and on. i'm not the american, i'm british. so that was the long to right of trying to leave saudi arabia where i was at the time where i was detained for 8 months based on an interval read notice and the f b i most wanted list. i was in jet the time in which president biden visited saudi arabia. i don't think it went well for him at all. i think that, you know, the, the days are gone in which the u. s. can fully and cajoled countries even like saudi arabia, one of the closest allies. so i think that the guy you see, right, that played a very big part in,

in my freedom of me being his we can see today what exactly happened at this conference in north korea. so the thing is done absolutely nothing. this is the crazy thing, right? it's, you know, there's really stories of me being the sanctions dodging mastermind. it's only cost me money. i never made a penny. ah, i think i think the russian federation has a huge opportunity right now to embrace crypt currency to regulate the space. i'm all for regulation in order to make sure that you know, and you know, sort of money laundering and any sort of crimes. use the crypto, but to really use it to engage in trade with the world. because essentially that's what crypto it's dawn. it's designed to liberate the world from and to create calmness and free trade. and there's a lot more than just bitcoin, right? say, you know, we have, we have stable quincy box one to one on any weaker encrypted currency. but that would be like us dollars re blues year. right. and those things are of genuine wet, genuine. the great remittance methods that can be used by anyone, but pricing is they can be used by anyone and no one can stop them,

which is exactly why i believe that the u. s. targeted me in the 1st place. ah, we seen them try to control and control crypto currency was signal trying to monopolize specifically bitcoin right now. but they the, the, one of the things that they don't really understand the underlying technology, it's encrypt. so we wouldn't say multiply, that we'd say the centralized, right? the centralized community of people that are fed up with this narrative. we're seeing these, the sanctions where basically, you know, we're being told who you can be friends with, who you can invite to come to your house. you know, if i, if i live in london, i can't get my friends to moscow to fly in and see me. and a people are fed up with it because we live it we, we live in this multi part of the world. i believe already the internet has changed the world phenomenally, in what we could encrypt to web to. we now moving to web free, which is just going to enhance that and open up the well to even more possibilities for us are up for now. i'm pizza. scott's on the back again at the top of the hour

with all the latest news and views here on oxy. i'll see them with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with .
