[000:00:00;00] ah mm a terms of ukrainian forces to cross before is arcade follow russian troops in their battles were strategic positions, again, ukrainian forces on the don bathroom line. at the u. s. africa, i met you as the official warrant of the destabilizing input of china and russia in

the region as beijing foreign ministry plan. washington for turning the continent into a global arena between power and contact with africa is not an arena, a big pile of games. but the loan, the target of all the tree prussia from any country old person, washington should respect the will of the african people. belgrade accuses the self proclaimed republic of kosovo, of seizing a majority 3rd center in the regions north, just hours after prince. deena officially applied for you membership, we report from the ground. ah, good morning for marquee international studios in moscow, and welcome to the hours most pressing new stories from around the world. i'm girl, isabel, happy to have you join us. at least 3 explosions have reportedly roth, the ukrainian city of har, cause woke or media,

say several parts of the city are cut off from electricity. an air raid sirens are sounding across the area. meanwhile, in the don bass, ukrainian forces targeted the don. yes, republic. at least 7 times on wednesday, according to local authorities, russian troops managed to destroy several ukrainian multiple launch rockets, systems, and weapons warehouses. helping reduce the intensity of the shelly r t correspondent, eager stano reports from the front line. in these woods, just outside crim and naya, danger flex around every tree, what used to be one of ukraine's national parks is now one of the most heavily contested swathes of land. and the dumbass need me to put on there for the ukrainian forces, crossed the river and their mobile units shell, our checkpoints, our intelligence identified some of their strongholds here. their main tactic is to attack,

so they mostly work in mobile groups. artillery is useless here. walking single file, we follow the only path deemed safe towards russia's positions. with our guide leads us to what looks like a long abandoned hut, but the 1st impression of desolation is deceiving. inside we meet russian soldiers from the mortar, battery hidden in the thicket. not far from here. this is our battalions command in observation point, we gather all the information about the targets and our battalions frontline. we decide what targets to attack with our mortars. i

with globally this move is to quench any attempts of ukrainian forces to cross the forest that is surrounding all of us. ah, what you see here is the equivalent of close quarter combat in the world of artillery. this mortar team is only about 2, maybe 4 kilometers away from their targets. bigger guns and tanks provide extra firepower from further away to. right now, the woodland here is in the grey zone. and whichever side concedes the ambition to take it will have to give up neighboring villages and towns to suffering

a painful tactical defeat is done of reporting from the dos c, loud explosions were also heard in the russian city of hurst on wednesday evening. the city is located close to the ukrainian border. local authorities say the sounds were that of the air defense system and action. no casualties have been reported. ah fernando r s, chief of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has been given. frances highest national accolade, the legion of honor award. the o p. c. w was involved in a huge scandal over a legit syrian chemical attacks back in april of 2018 primary documents released by the watch dog showed that no evidence of a chemical weapons attack was found. however, their final report went on to accused syria of utilizing biological warfare, then o p c,

w inspector told the united nations security council that the organization issued what he called a sanitized report. further raising questions on the accuracy and reasoning behind such accusations. the u. k. france and the u. s. blame syria for the duma incident and began attacks on the country in response, damascus has rejected the allegation stating that the country had destroyed its chemical weapons stockpile. under a 2013 agreement, the syrian foreign minister has accused the o. p. c. w of falsifying its report on the legit attack let's now go live to civil rights attorney robert, but t lo, what is your reaction, robert, and welcome to the o. p. c w chief, being awarded frances national order. well, thanks so much for having me. and i think what's important to understand is in

france seems to hand these legion of honor awards out like candy. and indeed, bush or al assad actually received the same award years ago and actually sent it back in 2018 after the french accused him of the use of chemical. busy weapons then i remind people that these saying nation france, the u. k, the u. s. was the same one that accused a rock of having chemical weapons and b, u. so are production of chemical weapons back in 2002, 2003. as it justification from the launch of the warning rock and which we now know were completely falsified. the colin powell in candles horizon lie to the international community to build up the casio bell. i am going to invade iraq, which led to the deaths of nearly a 1000000 iraqi civilians. so we have seen the western powers before yields falsified cling to chemical weapons attacks as a justification to expand and to as that stand there had to amount of power over the world. their main goal is to have a unipolar world, the quote unquote rules based order. but as a result, rules only apply to people. do they say of the bad guys?

now why in your view a why in your view, is it not being widely covered in media? well, because as we seen with these bas operation, ukraine, western media has a very close relationship with the western governments and a very close relationship with the military industrial complex. their job is to spread propaganda not object to fat. you get one side of the story. i referenced back to the war on terror. i'm the iraq war for america again, though it wasn't until long after that war was over, that we found out the actual truth to let us into that war. and indeed, then, if it was any other country executing an justified invasion reservation to the host, their government, and to steal their national resources, george w bush will be on trial for war crimes before the hague. but because they are the leaders of the rules based order, they get to make the rules. and this was so different were every other nation on earth because there are 2 such rules or to set

a rule for the what western power to u. s. u. k. a bred in germany, of the nato nations, and then there's a set of rules for everybody else. so in considering what it's been the cover up, right, what can we read into this award? i mean, the considering the o, p. c, w cover up scandal and frances attack on syria back in 2018. following the incident . i think this will go to the prisoners. oh, but sure. i wasn't statement what he said back is legion. warner warden 2018 lisa that he will not accept an award from a quote unquote slavery nation as france has been thrones. colonial history have you looked at what france has done to haiti if you look at what francis done to his african compo former colonial holding onto the south, east asian holdings. even the war in vietnam. are frances, not really in a position to be honoring anybody until they are willing to pay reparations to those nations. and that they have destroyed through colonialism and mercantilism. and think that the remainder of the world is not part of the cool kids club of the

western nations. have to start rejecting the leads awards rejecting these are certifications and create their own doors. because the only thing that gives these grouped power is the error of legitimacy that i have been given of you will. they are no more legitimate in any of the government. i think you're storing to see african nation, southeast asian nation, middle eastern nations coming together. and saying that we reject the authority of the quote unquote roles based order. robert patillo civil rights attorney. thank you very much. thank you. ah, tensions are spiraling and northern kosovo as a serbian representative to the region has accused pristine us government of phasing power in the majority serb area of me throw pizza with help from local police. this comes just hours after the officials of self proclaimed kosovo, applied for e u membership. with belgrade, condemning the move and urging brussels to block it. our

t contributor nicolette jovan reports from the ground. see, find flows door to door. any la visits or respect for their own laws. and in the new city council seats, the new members and their sort this war and also the for electric power without any dental practices. so basically, a month ago and all the sort of left disappears and the sort of got those positions, the election new elections were held and proceed unilaterally to share a new city or forces. and they did so by bringing in from the side their own additions, who are now the city council, and amongst, amongst them there is one sort of in so just to multi cultural perspective. and as i said without any, any law or respect for,

for this standard which can be implemented. and that came as a shock local service because they feel check again. they feel that they are, again being played out because they said you will actually be in the car and they are not being governed by people. nobody shows and they were elected basically by brutal forces. the launch presence of police and army, securing this whole event in the center of nuclear chevy mostly by serves earlier around $300.00 coast of insecurity personnel were reportedly station and mr . v. to city. according to the serbian government, serbia criticize the move, asserting that kosovo had not carried out any of the agreements. key points. tensions have flared between belgrade and the coast of all authorities in the northern part of the break away region. where serbian protestors put up barricades over the weekend, demonstrating against the arrest of

a former kosovo serb police officer, amid rising tension. serbia's prime minister said last week that the country's leadership was close to deploying security personnel to kosovo, saying that lives of minority served there were being threatened. their russian ambassador to serbia told us that co suppose e u membership bid was apparently sanctioned by brussels in advance need. she, she encouraged me in the you would i be sco sales, but is not all members of the european union recognize kosovo as an independent state. that means the e, you does not have a unified position and cannot achieve overall consensus when it comes to this issue . however, if we take any country in the balkans as an example, even the process of submitting the application for you membership and a public declaration of such intentions is always agreed at the very political top of the you in brussels. this is not something that is done by the balkan states themselves, like other candidates for you membership. in this case,

the european union does not allow any kind of independence. that is why we should not exclude the possibility, but rather we should actually assume that some kind of agreement was already in place beforehand. brussels has not objected to this and pristine air received permission to publicly formerly such a request. ah, at an ongoing summit between $49.00 african nations and the united states, washington is seeking a way to limit russian and chinese influence in the region. this, as president biden has expressed his support of africa for their role in solving global problems. leave now for a long time, good after success and prosperity is essential to assuring a better future for all of us. not just for africa, united states is all in on africa's future. we're still grappling with the deadly pandemic facing down war and instability address in economic challenges with global

impact fighting, fighting, rising food prices, tackling impacts of climate change. we can't solve any of these challenges without africa leadership at the table, and i'm not trying to be nice. that's a fact in a bed to compete with africa as other partners, china and russia. the u. s. has already made deals worth $15000000000.00 at the summit. it is also expected that bided will endorse the african union for permanent d. 20 membership. china called out washington's efforts to sway africa away from china and russia, saying the u. s. these the continent as a big arena for power games were witnessing the purity, expand its footprint, ah, in the, on, on a continent on a daily basis. and that creates problems that will be eventually these stabilizing, if they're not already. or we see russia continuing to peddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those

activities by those 2 countries, i think of that bears watching. and certainly i think their influence again, can be the stabilizer portion. well, me a human, we hope the us could view china africa cooperation with an open mind. africa is not going to re enough a big public games, but let alone the target of all the tree. fresh air from any country old person. washington should respect the will the african people and take concrete actions to help africa's development instead of concentrating its efforts on smearing and attacking other countries. let's cross live now to our gas, jo altman, welcome host of the conservative daily podcast. hey, thanks for having me. so biden has expressed the importance of africa in resolving global problems. why has there been this sudden increase in attention to the region coming from the us? i think it has to do with the breaks agreement,

the agreement that includes china and russia and you know, much like the rhetoric they have in the united states or oppression that rest rhetoric across, across the world. and i think leaders from different countries have just woken up to the idea that, that the united states are just speaking a whole lot of nonsense. and so they're, i think they're afraid of what china and russia are doing by creating a partnership. and, you know, i think that there's enough ceiling for everyone to be successful and to prosper. but i don't think that that's the goal of the budget vide regime more. or these, you know, radical people that have taken over the government establishment. the united states . you mention, brett and doesn't this sudden interest in the region indicate the u. s. is possible attempt to compete for influence in africa with russia and china with whom obviously african states already have a fairly strong historic relationship. well, let's go back in time and look at what the u. s. has made promises over and over and over again in that region. they've done this for decades and they've never delivered. so they've said we're going to give you a, we're going to help you with,

with development. and those developments and large part i spent a lot of time in africa and the middle east. those developments where china would come in and say, hey, we're going to do something, they always did it, but the us never did. and so i think that you know, that bright. now, those countries are looking for opportunities to grow and expand and to do well. but the united states is just never had the ability to deliver on, on, on their promises. and i think that it's come home to roost and now the united states is paying for it and they just don't have any credibility in the region. we heard that go to accusations against russia in china, at the forum as well, with beijing and moscow being accused of the stabilizing the influence in the region. well, the us be able to exert a better influence, given what you just mentioned, the experience and consequences of say, the libyan coo and the arab spring. while look at the libyan coo and also look at what they did in sudan and look at what they did in, in other african nations, in the amount of interference and things that they've done in those regions. it's

like a bunch of school kids at a, at a high school. it's always like they're bad, they're bad, they're bad. but they never look at themselves and ever look at the impact and the things that now what they say, but what they actually do. so i think it's going to have very little effect, and i think that the united states just does not have the same. it just doesn't have the same meaning as it did in the past where they had some sort of mores and society written driven by ethics and driven by the truth. and frankly, the united states, they've, they've lost sight of that. so i think personally that we're seeing what's happening in africa or just something that's going to in large part happened around the world because people are tired of the us barking orders. is that the daddy right, you mentioned the shift happening from unilateralism to multilateralism. china called on the us to stop seeing africa as a global arena of power. struggle. do you think washington will actually he'd that call at least this time? no, i don't. i don't think that they,

they learn from their mistakes and they definitely don't learn from history. and the thing, the thing that saddens me is the fact that they're, they're doing things that do not benefit the people of africa. and it's not as if we're pulling on both sides of a country and trying to, to help them and say, okay, china is trying to help in the united states trying to help. and we're competing in that arena, the united states, just to seize them as much like to do their own people in the united states as, as slaves to be enslaved or did to use as pawns. and again, in order, great power or money. i mean, yeah, well you just mentioned should it shouldn't. then africans be wary of us proposals, giving that that clear focus is rather on economics and competition rather than a need to solve their key problems on the continent. well, let's go back to the jeffrey sachs, the millennium project that they, they worked on for nearly a decade. right. and they said they were going to walls and he is like 5 or $6000000000.00 and will solve poverty in africa. and that turned in no, to a disaster, that was a,

a project where they said that they were going to create this economic opportunity for people to have free access to food and, and that, that there is no economic activity to happen to that environment at all. just a big flush button for them to launder $678000000000.00 to power brokers, not just need states but around the world. so they've never delivered on a project because that really is not the goal. the goal is to quit chaos and the opportunity and favors the, not the people. and that's just what the united states has historically done by using the intelligence apparatus as the thing that is, is driving their, their, their desires, in the region. yo all men host of the conservative daily podcast. thanks for the words. thanks. take care. god bless you. rising inflation and other economic woes seems to be secondary to us. politicians who have shifted focus on to a real threat that take talk up. several us lawmakers have announced bipartisan

legislation to ban the chinese own social media platform. the politicians play the app can be used to spy on us citizens. this isn't about creative videos. this is about an app that is collecting data on tens of millions of american children and adults every day. we know it's used to manipulate feeds and influence elections . we know it answers to the people's republic of china. tick tock is digital fentanyl. that's addicting. americans collecting troves of their data and censoring their news. the bipartisan anti social ccp act as a strong step in protecting our nation from the nefarious digital surveillance and influence operations of totalitarian regimes. well, it's very hilarious to listen to those words because what they're describing, how they're arguing about how tick tock seems to be operating bits pretty closely with the details that are now emerging regarding how twitter and meta facebook and

other outlets interfered in us politics take for example, the hunter, by the laptop story. this was scandal regarding the son of the president united states and his business deals and is relationships with his father. and will recall how it's been admitted that us social media giants worked to suppress it in coordination with the f. b i distribution on facebook was decreased, but people were still out to share it so you could still share it. you could still consume it, but we weren't sort of as black and white about it as, as twitter. we just kind of thought, hey, look, if, if the f b i, which i still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it's very professional on force and they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something that i want to take that seriously. now a new poll shows that 71 percent of americans say that a truthful interpretation of the 100 by and laptop story may have changed their vote and go to change the outcome of the election in the united states. so the

effort by facebook and twitter to suppress that story certainly had an impact. now, it's also interesting to hear the owners of tick tock, accused of news, depression. let's not forget that social media outlets the damned r t, all throughout western europe. r t is being widely suppressed, it's been shut down from youtube, etc. and then you want to get into the other accusation that they make about data that. let's look into the details revealed by edward snowed about how data collected by us social media outlets and tech companies gets handed over to the f b i. and how there is a coordination with the api i and this information regarding users activities is provided to the american authorities without any warrant, no warrant or are needed. they simply go to the tech outlet and get the information . there's actually been a 260 percent increase in the providing of this data to us officials

and they've been getting it without warrants the amount of data that they've been acquiring on us individuals as increasingly gone up. this is the information that's been revealed, and we also know what they tend to use this information for david's description of what you can do with metadata and quoting a mutual friend to work. baker is absolutely correct. okay. we kill people based on metadata. throw the hypocrisy in us, condemnation of tick tock, allegedly suppressing news, allegedly interfering in us politics or allegedly collecting people's data for nefarious purposes. the world can hear the hypocrisy and what these us lawmakers are saying. as they found the podium against tick tock, moroccan football fans had been wreaking havoc in the streets of europe since the nation seem lost to nail against france after a long winning streak in this year's fif,

a world cup. oh, pensions are particularly high in paris, where morocco fans were reportedly firing fireworks into crowds of french fans. city officials called on more than $5000.00 police officers expecting violence, regardless of which team won the match. police reportedly arrested 40 armed individuals headed to sean philly's a, to take part in the violet flashes and claimed some had ties to far right groups. oh, good friends with dan clash all over france with centuries old colonial tensions bringing out the words in both sides. authorities for montpelier have confirmed that a 14 year old moroccan boy was killed after being hit by a driver playing

a crowd of rival fans. ah, and brothels, police were forced to use their turn tear gas add water cannon, to disperse crowds of morocco fans who had been shooting fireworks at officers and starting fires in the streets. anyone sporting a french flag was apparently a target and those were the hours most pressing. new stories for 247 use and updates had over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble and gab. thanks for tuning and see you again next hour. ah,

ah ah oh, when i was sure seemed wrong when old fools just don't hold any you have to shape out. disdain becomes to add to kid and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, in the summer of 2022, italy, along with all other nato member states,

the thing to be cited with ukraine in the army conflict with russia. rome in coordination with the u. s approved a military assistance package for keith to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back. looking glad, i'm not father of eliano spend time you'll need you on the job site on the same nato and the u. f with you on the one that people will die just for make money. there are those who opposed the decision at various levels of government. i was one of the members of the parliament to that show day. yes. the panels. italians also protested in the streets with but across the ocean in the united states, their voices im not heard. italy holds the record for the number of

u. s. a. nato military sites. there are more than 120 american weapons, or even atomic bombs are hearing that there are more us soldiers here in italy today than their work during the war against knots. this is the italian f h 70, how it so the ukranian army is already using it to target not only russian soldiers, but also civilians. if the sabine design, it'd be more crafts. yeah. it's hard to put aggress store to pick or neapolitan art is your, it is a celebrity in the world of street art. his work is well known in north and south america, the middle east, europe, and finally russia. it was he who painted the portrait of dostoevsky in naples after an italian university decided to cancel its course on the great russian
