what you need to tell dentist, a a with one would like to ask in this regard, what did you expect? how else do they treat those who allow themselves to be treated? as you officials wake up to the fact that the us is the one capitalizing on the backlash of sanctions against russia. vladimir putin say the europeans should have seen economy and overnight on floors of ukrainian rockets leaves buildings and the russian city of dawn yet ablaze in was being called the most intense shilling since 2014 plus instagram. restore the video of an indian woman being
12:01 pm
sexually assaulted, saying, although it violates roles. it raises with very welcome from all of our team here in moscow. this is auntie international with the latest world news out date is good to happy with us. why did you expect that's why plasma potent is asking e, you officials who have started admitting that the u. s. is the one caching in on europe's energy crisis, that she wouldn't use it today. the e u authorities themselves are already saying that the policy of their main partner, the u. s. is directly leading to the de industrialization of europe. they are even trying to present some bills to the american sousa ain over this matter. at times their statements even contain words of resentment. like, why are you doing this to us? which one would like to ask in this regard?
12:02 pm
what did you expect? how else do they treat those who allow themselves to be treated? after all, it is their own business. it's important understand, 1st of all, that the european union is always ideologically driven, 1st and foremost, its entire appraisal data, forcing a patchwork of totally disparate cultures and countries into a single political and economic straightjacket is totally ideological. so a reasonable person looking at some of the moves that the e u has made recently will be left scratching their head if they are looking at these things through the prism of logic, reason, and pragmatism. instead, faced with any given issue, the e u adopts an ideological virtue signaling approach and then when it fails, and the g p. s, navigational system is streaming at them. do a, you turn, do you turn? you're about to drive into a ditch? they then try to correct course now in a classic example of the kind of ideological driven reasoning that risks being
12:03 pm
translated into actual policy here in europe. here's polish prime minister mateus more wiki. wondering why some e u countries just refuse through logic to fix the blocks exploding gas prices, which are ultimately the result of their own anti rushing sanctions by simply refusing to pay the market price for gas. some countries which have to deal with this crisis from the point of view of the prices of gas on the prices of oil. do this in a very, very selfish way they do. let's see the bigger picture. while they just stick a cap on it, it's side easy, right? actually the selfish thinking that he's referring to is thinking that the whole world revolves around europe and will just bend to its will to mitigate the mass made by its own policies, particularly when the block is making no effort to climb down from the ledge on which it perched itself and it citizens,
12:04 pm
now another example of ideology above pragmatism, the you cut itself off from russian gas through its own sanctions and only then clued in to the fact that they'd have to rely on the goodwill of washington for a decent price on american allen, g, not only did the price get jacked up, but then biden, on top of that, to add insult to injury, introduce this inflation reduction act, which he calls a climate act. i guess you're supposed to think highly of it because of that because you know, they're all about the climate. and this thing includes tax and energy incentives which could be ultimately applied to your european businesses that can't afford expensive american gas in europe. so they can just, you know, move to the u. s. and enjoy the low domestic price of it over there. now, french president emanuel michael, went to washington a couple of weeks ago, only to try to talk by then out of this. no doubt the americans got right on that straight away boss working on it day and night,
12:05 pm
which is why the you is still complaining about it just this past wednesday. the u . s. inflation reduction act provides generous incentives for investing in the us, including in some ways that are discriminatory against european companies and other companies as well. we already have war in your the last thing we need is a trade war on top. ok, so other than complaining it sounds like a broken record or being the same thing over and over again and just hoping things change. what else can be done about it? while european commission president ursula vauder line said on thursday that the e was just going to set up a quote sovereignty funds for businesses. nothing says sovereignty like you business is going broke. because of the eas owen, energy policy fiasco. so much for sophisticated policy, it looks like they're just going to start flashing the cold hard cash. now,
12:06 pm
some european politicians are under stand at least skeptical. and this whole idea, a solution in the malta and the old financial framework comes to late and risks been too small. so of underline said that the funds should be all set to go for next summer. well, come on. greatness takes time, right? unfortunately, bankruptcy doesn't to us lawmakers won't congress to vote on a proposal to remove russia from the un security council. here's how the bi partisan congressman have justified that draft resolution. the russian federation has carried out in the legal premeditated unprovoked and brutal war against ukraine . resolved that the house of representatives urges the president of the united states to limit suspend or terminate rights and privileges that the russian federation exercises in the security council of the united nations. that we've heard the u. s. ambassador to the un make noise around such an idea before,
12:07 pm
but there's really no mechanism for making this happen. there is no mechanism. busy in the un charter for removing a permanent member of the un security council, permanent means permanent. and there is no procedure for removing the members of the un security council that are prominent members. so if you look over the resolution is 11 pages long written by these to you as lawmakers, then it basically argues that because they consider russia's intervention into ukraine to be improper. and because of that, russia should be barred from participating in the un security council. now what's interesting is they're citing the fact that the un charter gives only 2 criteria for when a country may carry out a military operation. want to self defense and to as being done with the the, the permission of the un security council. if that was the grounds upon which a country could be removed from the 15 member body that leads to you at the united
12:08 pm
states would have been removed quite a long time ago. let's recall the 1999 bombing of serbia by the united states. that was not done with the approval of security council. let's recall the nato invasion of afghanistan of 2001 we see. or we can recall the 2003 us invasion of iraq, which the un secretary general at the time even admitted was a violation of the un charter was illegal. here's what he said in time. i have indicated it was not in conformity with the un charter from our point of view. from the charter point of view, it was illegal. now the 2011 us nato intervention libya was done under very spurious grounds. and the un only approved a basically an arms embargo, and then the united states moved in to where the new no fly zone and eventually a military intervention. then you'll also recall in 20, in more recently 2017, the united states conducted air strikes targeting the syrian era republic,
12:09 pm
a sovereign country. the usa continues to violate the terry of tauriel integrity of syria with us troops in syria, without the permission of the internationally recognized government. so if you look over, if you look over the list of us activities that have been carried out, if a country simply intervening militarily and another country is enough to remove a country, usa should have been removed a long time ago. but this kind of activity fits a pattern of the united states and its allies trying to politicize the activities of the united nations. recently, we saw iran being ousted from the women's rights council of united nations. now, many of pointed out that this sets a dangerous precedent when one country can essentially be ganged up on by the united states and its allies and removed from international bodies. this kind of violates the purpose of the united nations, which is to bring countries together to work on problems that affect the whole global community. even
12:10 pm
a lot of countries disgusted by iran behavior would have preferred something milder, like temporarily suspending iran from the commission on the status of women. but the us effectively forced other members to get in line by announcing the initiative with very little warning. now iranian leaders that pointed out this sets a very dangerous precedent. country is facing some international disapproval. then that gives the rest of the countries the ability to kind of gang up on them and force them out of international bodies, which is quite dangerous. now it's also been reported that the representative of the military government of me and mar, has been blocked from reaching the united nations and taking his country seat. and the united states was kind of arbitrarily preventing the military government of b and mar, from representing itself as a member of the united nations body. and all of this points to the united nations essentially being abused. the us is essentially becoming a mechanism for the united states to carry out international agenda and violation
12:11 pm
with proper proceedings. iran had spoken up about us abuses of the un. here's what's been said to stick with is simply another respect example of us hypocrisy the u. s. has made it a standard practice to abuse and derive such valued concept as human rights in order to achieve its need to make political goal. and it has achieved so by utilizing your platform and resources. the organization and multilateralism of the nations were exposed to have countries working together to carry out their goal. these, these, these goal don't seem to be being carried out. the situation where it appears that the united states are using the un for political purposes. that is the latest move to try and introduce legislation in the day that would lead to russia being removed the permanent member of the un security council. it has no legal basis. un charter,
12:12 pm
there is no mechanism for removing a permanent number. the security council, buddy companies, decreased effort by the united states to politicize the activities of the united nation. you countries are failing to work out the details of setting up a special war crimes tribunal for ukraine. that's according to e. u foreign policy chief us, a burrell who says the block is considering bypassing the international criminal court. monday we were discussing a while did without result, which is the most efficient way of fighting impunity. they say c a c, c. when is something more, it is possible to be something more. this is an interesting discussion at the right time being has not a concrete answer. several countries have expressed some conflicting opinions on the proposed tribunal. to down wants to host such an organization while saying it should not interfere with the work of the have cause. lot feel wants which one
12:13 pm
beetle based in the baltic country with no wide support among you members for that proposal either. meanwhile, the u. s. is in the middle of examining ukraine's proposals for the tribunal, while the u. k. has already sets up a training program for ukrainian judges to conduct trials on alleged war crimes, moscow safety us. and is that your penalized have no legitimacy to prosecute russia where its actions in ukraine. moscow is also a keys, the west of turning a blind eye to kia the military atrocities, including the deadly shelling of civilians in don't bass. ukraine forces are also stepping up their crack down on a ledge, traitors and collaborators put in the sky. news out in this outlet has ad reports about civilians being at risk and territories recaptured by ukraine and some local say, key of can persecute anyone accused of supporting russia. most of the refugees we meet are reluctant to show their faces scared of what they've heard about the hunt for collaborators in areas we captured by ukraine to put up
12:14 pm
a diet to provide our people go missing. they say that the taxi drivers who were taking people to the russian border were killed and many people who were cooperating, who went to work for the administration. they were all imprisoned, which it was not disgusted of elements with independent journalists. luke were very many thanks for joining us on the program. it's great to have. he won a festival. i'd like to get your take on this proposed that western war crimes tribunal and what kind of legitimacy do you think it would have? well, it has no legitimacy actually. you know, the r m and under the influence of emotions here are in the west. the indignation has valuable geometry. we've seen that in iraq. him, we've seen that livia. we've seen that in romania, if you remember in 891, they found out that 4630 people had been massacred in the shorter
12:15 pm
and it was so a fake use complete fake. but it was on the b, b, c for days. so this is, this is, is really very bad because if you speak of a tribunal international tribunal, who will you call as judges? i mean, not the cranes. i mean, they should be members, you know, they should be called to the bar, but there should be 2 churches, it should be international judges. what about china? what about india? what about african countries? i mean, this is not decided just in when, by the west that has a tendency to consider that the world is divided in cowboys and indians. the good ones us naturally and to back ones, for example, directions. so it doesn't work like that. it cannot function about it is emotions just being expressed. and if you look at the sanctions taken by europe over the last month against russia and the difficulties they have to come to an agreement on
12:16 pm
anything, i don't believe. i don't believe this will float along with all the thinking behind why this proposed tribunal would want to try and bypass the international criminal court, which of course, is the one supposed to be doing the investigating when it comes to a legible crimes. well, if that is an ancient, as an international court, it should be accepted by all parties not. and you cannot decide somebody to judge your enemy and decided that it will go to court and that the judges will be the one from the other side. so it is, it is fairly complicated to come to those institutions, look at the united nations and it difficult to stick to difficulties they have to come to any agreement. the fact that you west is in contravention in most of what they have done over the last few years. remember power, the united nation showing all the, the arms of mass destruction of saddam all it's all the time the kuwaiti girls said
12:17 pm
that you're at the soldiers and committed a atrocious crimes in, in maternity killing babies and, and women, it was, it was used 6 times in press conferences by president bush of the united states. and it was a fake news. i mean, come on folks. oh, you just mentioned, for example, in here, song and all the places. the fact that they have now on commandos cleaning command those there to, to liquidate, to people will sympathize with the russian troops. so gave food to the russian soldiers who was scared most fled to russia. so what about the ukrainian atrocities in this conflict that you know it's, it's fairly difficult to, to get the world to agree on an international court and creating one on when, oh, just like that because the european commission of britain and the west side. so it is exactly what the world refuses fumble west
12:18 pm
a. and yet the western countries have that much difficulty agreeing on the details of, of most things, including this proposed tribunal. why can't they, why they not all in the same page when it comes to this? while it says it on? because so you have people who think differently in each of these countries look at single n y. yeah, i'm, i'm not the saudi on our side. she's the former socialist candidate to the presidential elections in process. she has been vocal several times in french media to say careful what you say about boucher about the fact that russia is committing genocide, genocide on the russian speaking citizens. all of these regions with which have been russian for 3 centuries. i mean this is completely crazy. so mrs. awhile has said repeatedly to the politicians of europe and france, especially, that we should be much more careful in what is being said and not fall victims of
12:19 pm
emotions. so that's for france, but it's the same in each country. you have many parties or even part is empower governments who say, come on, this is not the way should go. i mean, you shouldn't follow the baltic. countries in deciding thinks about that. it's not correct. not neither poland, you know, it should be a general agreement or at the united nations at the security council that is agreed upon. not just like that by a few people in brussels in the back office. many thanks for speaking to today, really appreciate your thoughts and you are in front of martha independent jealously with you. while we go to the don years for public now, where the regional head has said one person is being held in at least 11 will get among them a 10 year old boy after the capital suffered some of its most intense shelling in 8 years. ukrainian 4540 grad rockets overnight. leaving buildings ablaze. the city center was struck by 3 miss sounds damaging multiple civilian premises including
12:20 pm
several residential blocks and the kindergarten. one local shed, his terrifying experience with the strike head at 7 am. the bang was so loud it shook the house. the people who lived there had left a few days before. i don't know anything about the other neighbors. shelling also hit a local church, leaving it stone that partially damaged our correspondent was at the scene. shortly after the attack took place, north fulton of waters mirrored the world. the movement was seeing the size of this crater. one can understand the type of shells being used to target civilian areas. most city center windows are destroyed in direct hits on residential buildings. in the morning, i was walking on the street when i saw an elderly man with wounded legs. facts to the swift arrival of maddox,
12:21 pm
where he was taken to hospital just in time of the a u. s. is to name a near war ship after notorious battles at ford in iraq in 2004 in which human rights groups claim, washington committed war crimes, something the u. s. denies. elliot on quarter told me more on why the navy has chosen to glorify the role of its marine corps despite the grim legacy of the battles. it's an honor for me and for our nation to memorialize the marines. the soldiers and coalition forces that fold valiantly and those who sacrificed their lives during both bottles of fallujah. this namesake deserves to be in the pantheon of iconic marine cool bottles. all, it's probably not the best idea to immortalize an event that is remembered by most people as one of the bloodiest episodes of the u. s. is a military occupation in iraq. i mean, just look at the civilian casualties over 600 unarmed men, women and children were killed in the 1st battle for felicia and another 500 of
12:22 pm
those people, unarmed men, women and children were killed by the end of the 2nd battle for it. there was even an instance in which u. s. troops fired upon a crowd of protesters and killed 13 people that were simply demanding an end to the u. s. military occupation there. but for many observers, probably the most scandalous thing that happened was the fact that the u. s. used white phosphorus as a chemical weapon in civilian areas. and then on top of that, they lied about it for years. it was only after actually a documentary came out showing previously on showed unseen footage and interviews that we started. c u. s. troops coming clean about this kind of stuff i received from the us department point for susan, susan to leave the weight and dimensions of this tracy rain fresh from use. hampton's, a loosing solution of these attempts to manipulate the narrative of what happened. didn't even stop at these lies about white phosphorus either. i mean,
12:23 pm
the international press institute accused the u. s. a violating press freedom in iraq because it said that the u. s. was delaying the publication of photographs that showed us troops abusing prisoners. why, apparently the military top ras thought that that would make their job. and felicia a lot more difficult. i remember the battle so well, and now here we are almost 2 decades later. i can't believe that one legacy has events left behind for the people living that of course, the usage of chemical weapons on the people of felicia has had a serious negative long term consequences for the people living there. i mean, horrific birth defects began to be reported, incidents in which babies were dying within the 1st 30 minutes of being born were reported as well. and we even saw a 12 fold rise in the rate of childhood cancer in felicia, after the battles of 2004 there. and there have been a lot of reports have been made since then that link these types of illnesses to
12:24 pm
the battlefield. findings suggest the enriched uranium exposure is their primary cause or related to the cause of the congenital anomaly. and cancer increases questions are thus raised about the characteristics and composition of weapons now being deployed in more than battlefields. so the us military is trying to name the ship, of course, after felicia, in an attempt to honor its troops. but really, it's more likely that it's just going to remind most people around the world of the horrific human suffering that us troops inflicted on the people of felicia and instagram video of an indian woman being sexually assaulted by a group of men has been restored to the top form that's off the another side board underlines what i call the news worthiness of the distressing footage is not recognizing the video both violated the company's adult sexual exploitation policy and may also, and bolden perpetrators. instagram a rule that the content should remain publicly available in order to raise
12:25 pm
awareness. given that the video does not include explicit content or nudity, and the majority of the boards finds that the victim is not identifiable. a majority of, for instance, the benefits of allowing the video to remain on the platform behind a warrant screen outweigh the risk of harm. let me take it to the timeline for so in march of this year and instagram account in india, that usually talks about marginalized community, both se, about marginalized community in india, boston, a widow of a tribal woman who was being sexually assaulted by a group of men now are this we do, of course are, or this is instagram account has about 3000 or followers. are most of them from india are, but then of course, so one user reported this we do after which after a human review met are decided to remove it, saying that advice leads is a sexual exploitation policy. but after that, what happened was that this was further flagged of why i met,
12:26 pm
i employ to one larger committee to a larger global operations committee. and well, they viewed it and they thought that in large of public interest and that it was news worthy to restore it. so they restored it this time with a warning in factor. and they restricted the content for minors are but of course met as always i bought also upheld the decision or to restore the instagram account . but there was also a split as far as this sir. oversight board is concerned a why law are some of them. i did see that while the woman's face is naught, with the bull while is no new duty. ah, but a lot of them also thought that our, our, the content, the risk of putting out the content was not to look at what all of this essentially highlights is that meta has nor clear policy when it comes to sensitive content
12:27 pm
such as this one. what to bam and what not to ban and other developments, new science, the palestine chronicle say facebook has threatened it with restrictions and the total ban for alleged community standards violations. the chronicles chief editor told us there's no way the site when it comes to matters. controversial decisions actually in 2000. and when you want to human rights watch, did you know a thorough internal, a thorough investigation of facebook, a behavior that was palestinians? and that's precisely the conclusion that they have reached. that there is a decided anti palestinian symptom of facebook. and many palestinian accounts have been wrongfully deleted. now facebook itself actually a few months later decided to do its own internal investigation. and that's also what we've added. so even facebook agrees that facebook is silencing palestinian voices. now the problem is, you just really, you don't know how to respond to this sort of and that's because, you know,
12:28 pm
that we have very, very little leverage as palestinians, aside from, of course, raising the issue internationally and hoping that there would be some, some backlash in which people would put pressure on facebook and these other social media platforms. but for the time being there is no oversight and is just 3 censorship. and there is no accountability, legal or otherwise. the u. s. has snapped any round of sanctions on, in bob way accusing the son of the african countries president of corruption and human rights abuses about ways government has hit back saying the white house is actually targeting the nation's economy. the intention was never to attack individuals who do not matter any way in terms of interstate relations. the intention has always been to cripple as empire way and economy. and it's not fortuitous that they are picked on suppliers of key inputs to
12:29 pm
a critical sector of our economy, namely agriculture. they did it before and i can assure you that they will do it in future. several different us administrations have upheld sanctions against symbolic way for 2 decades. the white house claims the african country has been carrying out disruptive actions against us foreign policy. washington is also hindered zimbabwe . the ability to borrow from foreign financial institutions which has contributed to high inflation in the country. we was involved warehouse traditionally maintained good ties with russia, with the african nation, also refusing to support us, but where the loosens against masika with the un political scientists to which it my home versus the usa to bring down. as in bob, when government will sanctions come in to make the economy males down. and when the, when the economy melts down, there is a stretch of citizen despondency,
12:30 pm
base ions and all of that functions did not blame the we're not playing introduced into this. but when political stays, sanctions, german with sponsored wisdom propaganda functions came in with this subtle a position political 5 to. so the idea is to order the 1000000000 again, elected governments. because even to not do that these years, it from a very clear and very straightforward record that since 967, russia do not partner in dismantling western imperialism. so without doubt is involved with russia may actually contribute to that. but i'm don't want to give us a constancy hitting my son bob. wish it was convinced by your story called punches to maintain its relations with russia. many, thanks for joining us. hey, on autopay international, we're back in 30 minutes with the very latest wealth news update.
