[000:00:00;00] ah, [000:00:00;00] a a school, 11th grade, we learned that nice little of socialism or knobs were good. they were heroes, and you grade are correspondent uncovers neo nazi propaganda and ukrainian school textbooks as he travels to the city of adults in the countries kind of fun region. nato admit it had been planning to expand its military presence along russia's borders. years ago,

before the war and ukraine began completely ignoring moscow's red line of betrayal of the afghan people. that's how locals have branded you with the u. s. plans to transfer $3500000000.00 of frozen afghan assets to us with bank we hear from couples central bank the decision of the us to transfer one part of that amount to a swiss bank is totally illegal according to international law. and not so happy birthday as the cia marks it's 75th anniversary. we look at the agencies track record of flaws and controversy with just after 10 am here in moscow, and you're watching r t international. i am your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now we start with the latest developments in ukraine where battles continue in the heart of region. key of previously announced its complete takeover of the city of coupons,

claiming russian lead forces had left the eastern part of the city. the fighting is reportedly ongoing, and russian troops are understood to continue to hold defensive lines along the isle school river, which runs through the settlement, controlling the eastern part of coupons. i made battles following a ukrainian counter offensive in the region. ortiz more ad gazda of went from behind from behind the front line to the city of scuttle of skin. her song, the russian national guard behind the front lines. they wage a different kind of war. fresh intelligence is coming. ukrainian nationalist part of a sleeper cell has given himself away. national guard sped that yet the go ahead. well, do you have anything illegal? no. stay down,

hands behind your head. with hands up with some of the bay. they asked me to keep an eye on something back there by the gate. the bottom. you know, what do you have if this my have no idea? i didn't even have a look. this is get a sapir edgar, that these are our g d, 5 grenades, 2 f, one grenades. also 210 rounds of 5.45 caliber ammunition. in almost every case. the excuse is the same. someone asked them till what shall weapon or a bomb cache for a couple of days. it almost every case comes out. they live in crane is waging a massive terror campaign. in areas it is abandoned loss here 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. sca dobbs far from the front lawns 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 that there was an old grass colorful. allister no, but i would honestly wear but if as a thing a push go, don't try to help stella near lasagna. are you finding written one of those got lost. i didn't usually. if that would have a thought in that one is for wakefield. by that morning, i do wish to simulate you with the fuse. typically eventually if i on the subject of abuse for uniform, dr. for me, the steps that have been used in the eyes of ukrainian nationalists, the locals, deadly seen, was to accept russian control. they adjusted to a new life,

and the key of that is unforgivable as may seem surprising with the school. rather, what was found here, the b to misers rushes argument that it had no choice but to what schools were being turned into temples for radical nationalism. these are some of the textbooks that have been removed, miss rickland, ukrainian students, for example, here in these textbook, 5th grade, the textbook, we learn that the, my dawn revolution was the right and just thing. and this was written by the people who were behind the my dod revolution. they went straight to the kids in another textbook. this is for 11th grade. we learned that national socialism or nazis were good. they were heroes of ukraine. here you have old bach propaganda posters. he's with nazi collaborators yet kids a towards 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 he were of you crate. these zonati collaborator behind the deaths of thousands of jews in, in just one instance that has been verified and proved you also found the number of coursework. so essays written by students. 11th grade, this again, they were made to write essays about step on by better step on but better. who is people not only collaborated with nazis, offered them their help put in money since lou massa could 60000 to push civilians to make way for pure blooded ukrainians. that's of course includes indoctrinating the young, pumping them full of hates before they know any better. but that is now the past. they stood him at the j at that,

so we'll keep it all in an archive. we won't destroy the books, they will be captain allen 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 nationalists, dogma, ukrainians and russians, learning and living side by side in peace and harmony for generations. but i believe her show you something as we come here, a little girl heard 2nd read went up to our driver and gave them these picture her and the soldier and the rainbow life here is going to be very, very different. more i guess, give ot from scott those hill. so region.

nato's revealed it was planning to increase its military presence on russia's borders. years before the conflict in ukraine broke out that despite moscow's warnings to the alliance, not to cross its red lines. we're talking about of the biggest overhaul of our military structures since 1949. the planning for that started several years ago. but now we're implementing it with now more on how nato reneged on its promise not to move one inch to the east hears ortiz fear. really, isabel nato is at the fence alliance. they said, however, it turns out the blog had planned to expand its presence eastward towards russia's borders. years ago, long before the current conflict began and ukraine, it seems nato's defense chiefs didn't hold back, emphasizing a need to sustain and increase allied support to ukraine. the addition of finland

and 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 analysts than journalists have long admitted to nato's arrogant and toned f 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 eastwood without that actions being viewed by russia is unfriendly. even the most modest schemes would bring the alliance to the borders of the old soviet union. and what these actions 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 it's disastrous economic consequences. ah, though all nato nations promised not to cross russia's red lines, promise 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 outraged populations. this claim that nato is crossing all of these red lines. just think about it. if it was reversed, the united states wouldn't tolerate it, not for a moment. nato has, has never been a defense of alliance. it has always been an alliance of aggression. people can

just look at a map of nato expansion, post cold war, and see that all it has done is expand toward russia's borders. the collective west had a choice. they were at a crossroads where they could have chose to begin to construct the relationship with the rest of the world. but instead they chose to attempt to assert themselves upon the rest of the world, including russia. nato expansion of the rushes borders is just one part of that story. we can see a western lead aggression unfolding all around the globe. all during these decades . us to set to transfer part of couples assets to a bank in switzerland. the central bank of afghan has condemned the decision as illegal i had left the rightful owners of the frozen assets or the afghan people. yeah, 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 and the people's will and consent was totally ignored. and the afghan central bank was not consulted. we denounced c u. s. decision aspect, rather. the u. s. says it will not release money directly to an afghan institution, as there is no guarantee that civilians will benefit from it. when the taliban seized power in afghanistan, the u. s. froze around $7000000000.00 of the countries assets. it has since ordered that $3500000000.00 be used to fund litigation by $911.00 victims. now. meanwhile, afghanistan feat faces a serious humanitarian crisis on saturday. hundreds of afghans protested again against the u. s. plan to send some of these assets to swiss bank. demonstrators

waived banners and with slogans blaming america for the countries humanitarian crisis. they called for the immediate release of the assets and the prosecution of soldiers who committed war crimes in afghanistan. only gave one of the americans have no rights to seize or $9000000000.00. simply they have violated human rights and of canister. it is unfair if they don't give us our money back. we are a poor country and face a terrible situation due to our very low per capita income about america seized $9000000000.00 from us. 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 that would demand the united nations and other world bodies influence the united states. i want to transfer the money directly to our or government 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. our award winning journalist martin j says that the u. s. has imposed the harsh restrictions to gain leverage over the taliban. my think the case of the still the money is just one more element of it. obviously the initiative defines, taken ministration to transfer the funds to switch to hold the money in that account. not likely in the short term. so the money's going to be transferred to the conditions, the rigor placed for the money to actually be transferred to kennesaw, very strict indeed. they're playing the gym and also saying to the africans with tyler bond, look, let your central bank distances so politically from you let your central bank agree to a few conditions where they don't. and then we'll let you have the money,

you know, and we'll, we'll trust the central bank distributor accordingly to the very, very desperate corners of the country. this is the way of controlling our country. this is a way of getting the taliban to itself in order the sunday mark 75 years since the creation of the main u. s. foreign intelligence agency. the ca, while us president jo biden's praised the agency as a bedrock of national security, are corresponded. ilia per tranquil, takes a look at the cia 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 ruth 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, my compare did a few years ago. i was the c i, director, we live, we cheated,

was the hostile. it's like we, we had, we had entire, entire training courses. if 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. it has also been shaken by a 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. once more warriors, or 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 and 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. you, us was in terrible ha, my state, i think after, after the combined o setbacks of the 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 in to 90. we went through the carter period, which was

a long period for cia. beyond that supposed slow periods, 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 outmoded 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 ben louden with his al qaeda or the taliban 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 a year. a heads, new weaponry. 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. emitted gas cusick, i'm an american legislation, benz human torture, but only on you as oratory. 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, that even makes you want to replace the word intelligence in the name, with a few other words, food super him to see how he 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 lebanese banks have locked most of their depositors from their savings after a series of robberies by people demanding access to their money. the situation adds to an economic crisis which took hold 3 years ago, forcing around 3 quarters of the population into poverty. here's archie's who's saying i add with more was instead of dishonesty, thanks for being stormed in lebanon. several have been attacked by depositors demanding that they received their savings. customers are threatening to set banks on fire, to use weapons and further escalate the situation so that the rights will be upheld . at la moda and darlin, we are the depositors outcry association, and we are declaring war and these liberties banks. after 3 years of peaceful means, our demands have not been 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 to 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 one has any coon or 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, but the details are confidential. what the in the mold woman almost 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. i thought the label was done at the storming of the banks . lebanon has been impacting everyone seeking to uphold their rights is 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 who's saying i yod, r t, a root any? well, the biden administration recently highlighted the importance of controlling the digital asset sector while calling for gaps and crypto currency regulation to be identified. but as crypto expert chris ends claims the u. s. is trying to control crypto currency and seeking to monopolize bitcoin ams is on the f. b i's most wanted list for allegedly organizing a crypto conference in north korea and helping the country evade us sanctions. after being accused of helping pyongyang develop block chain technologies to transfer money across borders, he was detained and february, and saudi arabia. but later,

released as re add decided not to extradite him to the u. s. i spoke with him earlier in the studio to get the more more details on his story. ah, you were detained in saudi arabia, the u. s. f b, i wants 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, and so that was the long parade of trying to leave saudi arabia where i was at the time where i was detained for a month based on an interview read notice and the f. b, i most wanted listing 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'll 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 meeting the sanctions dodging mastermind. it's only cost me money. i never made a penny. i think the russian federation has a huge opportunity right now to embrace crypto currency to regulate the space for regulation in order to make sure that you know, sort of money laundering and a sort of crimes use the crypto but to really use it to engage in trade with the world because essentially that's what crypto is done, is designed to liberate the world from and to create commerce and free trade. and there's a lot more than just bitcoin, right. so, you know, we have, we have stable quincy backed, $1.00 to $1.00 on any weakling currency,

but that would be like us dollars rubles year. right. and those things are genuine . what genuine. the right remittance methods that can be used by anyone. but the great thing is that can be used by anyone. no one can stop them, which is exactly why i believe the u. s. targeted me in the 1st place with single tried to control control crypto currency was thing they're 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 multiplied it, we said the centralized, right? the centralized community of people, the fed up with this narrative, we're seeing these, the sanctions where basically we're being told who you can be friends with, who you can invite to come to your house. you know, if, if i, if i live in london, i can't get my friends to get to fly in and see me. and people are fed up with it because we live, we, we live in this multi part of what i believe already. the internet has changed the world phenomenally and what we would call a web to, we now moving into web free,

which is just going to enhance that and open up the well to even more possibilities . that's the news. so this our stick around for more and just about 30 minutes here on our to international the, ah, 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 critical time time to sit down and talk with ah, and 2014 tea village to so called counter terrorist operation against ukraine. se, in the regions that had refused to recognize the code. over the years. ukrainian troops committed thousands of crimes, many of which have no statute of limitations with you will want to actually,
