what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short, then build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever know. ah, the russian navy repels what's it called a mass ukrainian drone terrorist attack on its sleep in the crime, in the field service for both. we get the latest from the scene. the police on saturday at 430, i am ukrainian trying to make a response to that. an american recognizance firm flew in international airspace without entering the space of the russian federation. a secretary of state. it denounced by canadian anti war,

a war mongering that's made to washington's decision to provide more military 8 to key on the humanitarian crisis heights and its grip on the keynote pass. so we're almost $3000000.00 children need urgent aid that comes out on the french sentiments in the former colonial african countries on the right. taking that the francis traumatizing us. we know that a brand new in that are develop mean that number again, i'm french a, we need new. com isn't the departure of france for so we just want to be free, like how the country with very well can see from the russian capital this saturday afternoon. i'm peters got taken over from nic urine. welcome to the program. we start this out with the latest from crimea where the russian navy has repelled what it calls

a terrorist attack on its black sea fleets, instead of thoughtful by an unprecedented number of ukrainian military drones or 9 ariel and 7 marine drones were using kill the talk the russian defense ministry says that all were destroyed, so, so forth, has branded the attack the most serious operation against that. so for since the conflict begun, one of damage was allegedly called to russian ships involved in the grain deal security current a, according to the flight made off flight trucking sites. the u. s. reconnaissance drone was also detected in neutral space over the black sea around the time of the attacks local correspondence to meet for doctrine as more from service doleful supported on saturday, ukrainian drones attack the main base of the black sea fleet. that's classical cosmo. prior to that, and american recognizance drones flew in international airspace without entering the air space of the russian federation. and presumably, transmitter coordinates and actually coordinated the actions of a swarm of ukrainian drones. all this say itself one task to identify the air

defense points that allocated and show that appalled by a format of the work of the air, the fancy and to understand in general the cities defenseless you for unexpectedly, when it was on approach to the city was the ships of the fleet particular missile frigate was one, met with rome, with anti aircraft fire, artillery and short range, anti aircraft systems targeted the drones. the whole city heard the explosions of windows shaking in some houses. there was, there was no destruction on the ground or casualties only made the city promptly inform resident his about the work of the defense through social network was asking every one to stay in place. a number of the duty services remained on full alert. however, not a single drone was able to break through the missile, the fence of the black sea fleet coming after that alleys came known in the waters of savannah to fall in particular and under water drone just working in the outer area of crew layer bay here some are happy with surface look up to date, it is difficult to say what kind of device this was a helicopters at the black,

safely and the frequency that the navy very quickly finished, whatever work this on the water drone was doing clamps, thundering, literally 300 made there's no place for the underwater. drone was blown up. there are no traces of fuel oil, all of the oil chillers and there is no debris. is water. what's on the drone? sang not interestingly, a similar on the water drone washer in this area during the summer. there was the fact the american intelligence coordinated this drone attack on his a vast of south with another trash. after which it turned round and flew back to his face. it had been in international airspace a long time and it was able to track all the changes taking place on an inch. le. let's discuss this with journalist and author martin j martin. good afternoon to you. thanks for joining us. so 1st off, what do you make of the targets on the timing of this must drone attack, which the main office of estoppel called the largest strike, since the start of rushes worn ukraine? you know, it's quite unprecedented. i think it's taken away. well, nobody could have ready for saw such an attack time this particular moment with

such level of interest to, you know, i think to interpret this property, we need to take a step back and look at who would win some news. in this war, on the largest scale, when i'm one, i mean, it's not necessarily confined to great. this is a global was just a moment on much as western media likes to start. much emphasis on how much you've grown on within your international russia is getting some of the legal expected returns economy in terms of use its currency how politically behind a new one. so i think the confidence just recently secretion is united to go to the south on more we will go, which is based in the east markets and rules and regulations. so this seems to be,

i would say, told me over say both americans. i would also say a certain degree, some sort of conic on the west. you know, when it's closing in they, they seem to know what direction to take this. and i think there is a certain more pressure from long sky. if you're going to move on. well, just to pick your partially martin on the global fall out of this conflict. according to the military, the naval ships targeted were involved in securing that grain card on the international deal to secure those grain shipments. what do you make of that? when do you think the deal could be in jeopardy in lots of this recent incidence? it's interesting and this subject of grain. i find fascinating written about it quite extensively. last few weeks when, when the turks, when everyone was able to pull off the broker a deal between russia and make sure or officially ukraine,

you like to secure these safe corridors in the black sea, which would make their way through these lines on us. it was a great general relation, excitement when the serial side, but african countries and middle east countries, not getting that grain. the implications of lists towards lot people are experience implicitly. one reason some in africa was in reality what happens when do was fun struck on the ship's moving way up? the bosses will be shown to any of them ships came from africa or middle east most in europe. lat connie shattered a miss if you want to call it. something would say, news, you know, in the dark, evil empire, russia was actually preventing the ships from feeding while the masters. but it wasn't true. it was just pure propaganda and take news. i think the landscape lost

this battery when finally there was a deal struck on the grain shipments could come out, not only from just so it will show a number of let's see what the russians told. well, in terms of a propaganda world, i think this is because he played very badly and last and i think he's been looking from june to john the situation around being close off was for some time. now this may be one of the 1st incident. you've been occurs to you. lot of americans. while we're talking about the americans, they're on the flights radar flights trucking websites. an american military recognizance drone was apparently spotted circling in neutral territory around the time of the attack. do you think that could be potentially enough to implicate washington in this talk, or do you think it's just part of a regular reconnaissance mission by the americans? well, i don't think we can just dismisses regular recognizance. i mean recognizance isn't

hugely important thing and in times of conflict, sometimes recognizance is actually a deal breaker for, for whether one last, you know, more consent. you have actually because you could please follow publication. you step up is interested on this because you got very much last long tended and more. this is when you're reading it is what we're playing. just underscore the point that we've made wrong. so this is a war between they say, when russia not between you, russia certainly been a lot of spill out from it. and just finally marking before you go. what do you make this statement by the crime in all thought is that us locals to some publishing footage of this. a thought for fear that it could give away vital information about the defenses in crimea. do you think that could help the russian

military in any way? i don't know if he has a greater lungs on c, on both sides. the how phone footage from people is using abuse from whatever, whatever slides fixed on. you know, it's been amazing amount of fake news, particularly generated from which is being used by the american machine. the same american fork on a machine, what you've seen time and time again in every going all the way back to where to use the same process we see in a certain amount of paranoia about on telephone with you. that may be, that may be thought all this morning. you know, we should be skeptical about any report coming, particularly from the worst, what it's not attributed to gentleness on learning rather than using boxes.

well, martin j journalist and author up to the fascinating scale your insights on that incidence in crimea earlier today. thank you very much for your time. in the news, the russian defense ministry says that the u. k. navy helped prepare this morning's attack on sever stapo, adding that navy personnel also caused widespread disruption by blowing up the nod stream gas pipelines last month. well, let's cross live now to our correspondence morning, a quarter of a full more on this. you don't live now in the student marina. so what exactly did the russian defense minister say about this? well, according to their statements, it was british navy specialists. in particular, the ones located in the city of attractive who were responsible for training and preparing ukrainian soldiers form in particular the 73rd special censor for maritime operations to carry out the attack in service double. and also the same

navy specialists who were responsible for the planning provision and implementation for the attacks we saw resulting in the for leaks on the non stream one endorse them to gas pipelines. and that happened on september 26th. and we saw both pipelines and rendered unusable for a certain amount of time. and they're saying that all world leaders have said that this is an act of sabotage. at 1st they started saying that this was russia actually sabotage in itself. let's listen to what they have set the time. there will be no longer nor steam to we, we will bring it into russia, is most likely behind this. but it is the light plate that this is an act by russia . the assessment is that russia was behind it. russia does have an undersea capability to easily lay explosive devices by those pipelines. so after

that, an investigation ensued led by sweden and denmark. they concluded that the 4 lakes were indeed claw caused by explosion. russia was not allowed to take part in the investigation at 1st though. now we know that the gas from that operator of north through mamma has been allowed onto the site. we didn't, has allowed that it has made a u turn. though it's still a waiting approval from denmark, and we didn't know which one to do wants to share the findings of the investigation . so now we're seeing a little bit of a huge from there, from sweden side, we're still waiting on denmark. but now the latest information, according to russian defense ministry, their quotes is according to available information that they have. so they're not sharing exactly what that information is yet. but they're saying that they have information that links british navy specialists to this attach that we saw on their notes from one endorsement to gas pipelines. and also what's interesting is that in all this, britain itself was boasting about how it's helping ukrainian soldiers with training

alongside the u. s. navy 6 fleets. and they were helping them training how to operate my enhancers, as well as how to operate drones. this was happening in the u. k, and they were very proud that they are helping ukraine's armed forces to help them defend their land. so there are some links there that we've seen before. of course, britain is saying that it's denied any responsibility for this. but this is just coming out the news and the statement was provided that this morning. so waiting to hear what comes out of it, you know that they can certainly very intriguing story. thank you very much for breaking it down for me. thank you for the us secretary of state and canadian foreign minister, have been grilled by anti ward service during a visit to montreal. people called him out for quote, reckless war mongering. her secretary,

later along i will anthony lincoln's visit, comes in the wake of washington's decision to provide another $275000000.00 in weapons on the 8th. a kid that says the commissioner for home affairs admits that black markets and weapons already supplied ukraine is thriving. although she does say that she maintains full trust in the way the key of managed them is see from the europe hall at sock to report that the organized criminal groups are being more and more violent. this is the threat. so as i was security and we have to address

this elicit firearms, we know from experience from their former voy, yugoslavia which can still see weapons coming from from this area horse i trust ukrainian military. they are really using the weapons in the right way. only 30 percent of weapons already sent to ukraine ended up on the battlefield, according to a partially retracted cbs report. the biden administration has provided here with more than 1400, and the aircraft systems over 10000 grenade launches on 60000000 rounds of ammunition, an investigation bucket. a full by your poll that use law enforcement agency shows that listed weapons from ukraine have been falling into the hands of european organized crime groups, posing a potential security threats. european union earlier announced the creation of a hub in moldova to suckle weapons smuggling with a block security specialist assisting local law enforcement holdover which board of

ukraine is not a new member, but it's in the foot line in the fight against elicit arms traffic. and she's now statistical data, however, shows the 40 percent of cases of smuggling were recorded earlier this year, a 70 fold increase in munition and the 12 fold increase in weapons. the kremlin has repeatedly warned that western on supply to kiev would endanger other regions to deal with the black markets of weapons operating in ukraine. serious challenges your international criminal groups are actively involved in this smuggling to the region. it's not just about small arm issue, there are still risks of more powerful weapons falling into the hands of criminal, including man pads and high precision weapon. retired us air force left tenant colonel concrete. coal ski says that most of washington is well aware of the traffic in from ukraine, the still ready to jeopardize european security. they say they trust kids because that's what you have to say in the west. you cannot criticize zalinski and you

cannot criticize kids. that's just not allowed over here. ukraine was well known as the center of corruption, black mark and dealings and that kind of thing that has a head start that's been happening and it's going to continue to happen. it's something that the united states certainly is, is aware of, and they're concerned about it. and i'm even pointing the finger at russia in advance. because i think they do expect that quite a bit of this flow is going to continue by the administration has been risking the safety of europe for quite a while. weapons flow that the united states is supporting and by far with the largest supporter of kids with weapons, i think that is totally dependent, not on european security, but on what goes on politically in the united states. an investigation by the swedish media institute has blasted the country's reporting on ukraine. the authors have criticized the sourcing of news report saying that all information is

filtered by international agencies before it reaches the audience. in other words, the swedish media have to few ways of verifying the sources. the publication also criticizes using social media lights with as a source. along with anonymous accounts, we spoke to the chairman of the swedish professors and doctors for human rights. he says that there are simple steps. swedish media could be following. in my opinion, it is very simple. this would be to try provide them deposit it. also with the version that emanated from the other party. balancing their report, so to say, or at least doing some effort to comply with. and this is why it is not usually done in my opinion by journalists employed by the swedish mainstream media that are boarding than industry. this media generally does not want

in the main is happening in the conflict brain. we have this is dr. for the rights from fight about $100.00 cases of abuses against the human rights or the human interior would do those already against stations or, or visit that the anti war was a single grania that's never being, you know, figured in this way this media. so those reports that we have, we are taking them, for instance, from social media taylor and are out to 6 and they don't find space industries media. and it's something to a noticeable and moving on. now the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in bettina faso has risen. according to the latest report by the united

nations international children's emergency fund, the country has struggled with a 7 year old jihad is insurgency. this claim to thousands of lives. according to the report, the number of children in need of humanitarian assistance increased to almost 3000000. the crisis has reduced our 1st to basic social services in affected areas . and students have been affected by school closures, due to prolonged insecurity, can affect those, that new governments has declared, its top priority is to secure the nation's territory. authorities have launched a recruitment campaign for the civilian defense volunteers to help fight the militants. the meanwhile, thousands protested against france in between. apostle on friday, demonstrated, gathered near the french embassies, $100.00 and less demanding paris leave the country within 72 hours. some protested wave russian flags. the binding or forest is develop a close ties with moscow and other international partners. proud of our goal

is to ask france to remove its troops. it's not in our interests fight against folks lab, and we don't want to miss our goal. if france knows that france fights back, we are then we need new partners in the departure of france. so that's why we're here. we will send a message to the french ambassador to tell him our friendship is unproductive. we just want to be free like public frito rants is responsible for what happened to us since our ancestor. we do not happy. so we're out today to say no to france. france is a terrorist, francis traumatizing us, that we'll that frances against our development and we are against french policy in africa for out the book. you know, we need our freedom. that was made mistakes this morning. usually, professor couldn't have access to women square where they're supposed to govern police occupied displays. awfully surely because of the preparation of the army. then move to press embassy. they leave a message to the main office who was

a preventative president, but that is what i do. this is also one, some of new government members to leave the government because they think they're not enough to sit around with table of the government with lulu. we're going to finally, new findings have been revealed in the saga of the missing a b c news, investigative journalist james gordon. meek, who went missing after an f. b i rayed on his house back in april reports now suggest the government agencies pro has nothing to do with his work. on these, these sweeney investigates the story of the disappearance of a b. c. news producer james gordon. meek reads like a mystery thriller. his case had been surrounded by rumors in intrigues since the news broke with interest reaching for you a page and forcing the u. s. department of justice to issue a statement denying any kind of foul play. while the department cannot speak to any

specific case or activity, the department strictly at here as to the attorney general's july 2021 memorandum prohibiting the use of compulsory process with regards to members of the news media acting within the scope of news gathering activities that deny okay, mm hm. it's suggestions that this was the 1st rate of its type carried out and a journalist. so what's the story on the 27th of april, a number of unmarked cars with at least 10. the heavily armed agents arrived an apartment block in arlington, virginia. they were there to ride the apartment of james gordon, meek, a producer, a b c, who specializes in national security investigations. they didn't stick around. they took off pretty quickly and headed west on columbia pike towards fairfax county. most people seeing that green vehicle would think it is some kind of tank, but i knew it was the land co bearcat that vehicle is designed to be jumped out of . so they can do a raid and that kind of time,

it can return fire if they're being fired upon. it is not known whether meek was even at home when the right happened. what we do know is that very early that morning at 5 am, he posted his last tweets, agreeing with an x c. i a analyst who said that the u. s. is using the conflict in ukraine to learn about russian military tactics. comparing it to a laboratory experiment, it's also not clear what happened to me afterwards. that very same day, he emailed a resignation, and that was it. she saw the face of the earth and people asked, but no one is answer. he resigned very happily and hasn't worked for us for months . but there are a few concrete fats, including the fact that his work made the u. s. authorities uncomfortable. this was his liked his project, exposing how the pentagon covered up. what exactly happened to for us special forces? who according to gen, 2017, in a battle with isis. the role of the u. s. in africa remains a tightly guarded secret. ah, we asked,

why did the 4 men lose the alive and no one would give us an answer. the autopsy report was, we're really starting clicking something didn't add up. coincidentally, the co producer of this though, also abruptly left id say last year. meek, gave an interview on it, talking extensively about what he called the cover up by the pentagon. we need to have accountability. we need to have accountability long the leadership leaders must hold themselves accountable. and that did not happen here. the leaders, the men who sent these young guys in a battle on a patrol that resulted in one of the most fearsome battles of memory in a country were, most americans have no idea. we had combat troops, but they, they basically disappeared. and not only didn't stand by their men, they did not hold themselves accountable, and somehow they were not punished. monks before me vanished. he was putting the finishing touches on the book about one of the last us missions in afghanistan,

pineapple express. but since the raid all traces of his association with a book, happy mysteriously deleted, simon and schuster has scrubbed his name from all press materials, the 1st sentence of the jacket previously read. in april a, b, c. news correspondent james gordon. meek. got an urgent call from a special forces operator serving overseas. now it says in april and urgent call was placed from a special forces operator serving overseas. but there was another twist. one colleague described a picture in his office that was taken in the desert in which all the others posing with meek, had their faces blacked out. reporters from a number of news organizations chased the story for months, but bizarrely, a b c mix. his former employer has not investigated the rate at all. the rolling stone article that 1st broke the story stated that me could frequently collaborated with abc anchor david moore. but that line has since been removed without an

editor's note adding to the mystery. while both abc and his lawyer have remained silence. and what are the authority saying? well, the f b, i has confirmed the rate, but according to their meek, hasn't been charged with anything. many questions remain unanswered. on what grounds was such an operation carried out? who authorized it? and what charges could he face? one rumor is that of espionage. the same charges faced by wicked beak file. did julian sound for exposing allege war crimes committed by the u. s. he faces a 175 years in prison, in what is seen as a deeply political case that threatens the very foundations of press freedom. and as the wall of silence continues around, meets his case, the mystery simply deepens, and the ability of journalist to hold the powerful to account could be under attack once more. while that's her up for this hour. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour with all the latest news. unused writes here on naughty

ah. in 2022, the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine coordination with nita to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a week, almost, even i told me, bombs are hearing all the same nato and the u. f with the one that people will die just for make morning. the one that had been yes, carol volume as who got thrown every few gone through and i, she thought complete, i mean there's water damage with me. you only get on to get i want for them in as

well. the other more sad me, my show pezora tool store able hopa zach lila garza opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians are against military support for ukraine. i landed in confront with the day for app last or we flap don't a level yet. li, got it more on a skid out and go home and do not she then the the, the, the daily death. wonderful. i lucille my love so little boy a lot you there because he has been a food he's and we're not even fun. theda the layout ah is one of the most beautiful cities in russia.
