because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it and just virtue of your being here with home would like to ask in this regard. what did you expect? how else do they treat those who allow themselves to be treated? the officials way come to the fact that the u. s. is the one capitalizing on the vine class of functions against russia. vladimir putin say the europeans should have seen it coming. the u. s. military decides to immortalize its most notorious baffles in a rog by name. it gets new warship for new jersey to fight massive civilian casualties and the use of chemical weapons that well then stick around,
2:01 pm
restore the video of an indian woman being sexually assaulted, quoting the shocking footage newsworthy and claiming it's good for raising awareness. ah, i will welcome this is the international with the latest world news update is good to have you with what did you expect? that's what vladimir putin is asking e, you officials who have started admitting that the us is the one caching in on europe. the energy crisis says 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 reign 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?
2:02 pm
what did you expect to pursue that? how else do they treat those who allow themselves to be treated to human, after all? it is their own business need you. it's important understand. first of all that the european union is always ideologically driven. first and foremost, its entire available data, forcing a patchwork of totally desperate 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, would 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 with dobson, ideological virtue, signaling approach, and then when it fails, and the g, p. s, navigational system is streaming at them. do you turn? do you turn? you're about to drive into a ditch? they then try to correct course. now any classic example of the kind of ideological
2:03 pm
driven reasoning that risks being 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 that 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 its citizens. now another example of ideology above
2:04 pm
pragmatism, the e, you cut itself off from russian gas through its own sanctions and only then clued into 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, introduced 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 that. out of this. no doubt the americans got right on that straight away boss working on it day and night,
2:05 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 europe. 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 ers lovato line said on thursday that the e u is 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, some european politicians are under stand at least skeptical. and this whole idea,
2:06 pm
a solution in the multi and the old financial framework comes to light and risks being 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. the us is to name a new warship after notorious battles they fought in iraq in 2004 and which human rights groups claim, washington committed war crimes, something the u. s. denies. earlier dawn court has told me more on why the navy is chosen to glorify the role of his marine corps despite the grim legacy of the battle. 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. well,
2:07 pm
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 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 and showed unseen footage and interviews that we started. c u. s. troops coming clean about this kind of stuff to woocommerce in the us department,
2:08 pm
white house for susan houston. i'm soon to leave nate animations for this trip sous the rain fresh from use hampton's, on the sitting solution of these attempts to manipulate the narrative of what happened didn't even stop at these lies about white phosphorus either. i mean, 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 influence a lot more difficult. i remember the battle so well, and now he, we almost 2 decades later, i can't believe that one legacy have 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
2:09 pm
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 the battlefield. findings suggest the enriched uranium exposure is either a primary cause or relate to the cause of the congenital anomaly. and cancer increases questions are thus raced 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 platform as after an oversight board
2:10 pm
underlined what they called the news worthiness of the distressing footage. it's not recognizing that the video both violated become please, as a sexual exploitation policy. and i also am bold and perpetrators. instagram ruled that the content should remain publicly available in order to raise 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. for instance, the benefits of allowing the video to remain on the platform behind a warrant as green outweigh the risk of harm. let me take you 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, are, this is instagram account has about 3000 old followers. are most of them from india
2:11 pm
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. it's a sexual exploitation policy. but after that, what happened was that data, this was further flagged of why i met, i employ to a larger committee to a larger global operations committee. and well, they reviewed 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,
2:12 pm
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 no clear policy when it comes to sensitive content such as this one. what to bam and what not to ban in other development, new sites. the pastime chronicles a facebook has threatened it with restrictions and a total ban for alleged community standards violations. the chronicles chief editor told us there's no oversight when it comes to matters. controversial decisions actually in 2021 of human rights watch. did you know a thorough internal, a thorough investigation of facebook, a behavior that was palestinian, 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
2:13 pm
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 data because you know 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, a new countries are failing to work out the details of setting up a special war crimes tribunal for ukraine. according to e foreign policy chief use that burrell, he says the blog is considering bypassing the international criminal court. monday
2:14 pm
we were discussing about it without the 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. dish 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. amsterdam wants to host such an organization will think it should not interfere with the work of the hague cause not via won't tribunal based in the baltic country with no wide support among you members, for that proposal either. i mean, while the u. s. is in the middle of examining ukraine's proposals for the tribunal, while the u. k. as already set up a training program for ukrainian judges to conduct trials on alleged war crimes. moscow say the us and in europe in our lives have no legitimacy to prosecute russia over its actions in ukraine. moscow was also accused the west of turning
2:15 pm
a blind eye to key of submitted terry atrocities, including the deadly shelling of civilians in dumbass. ukraine's forces are also stepping up that cracked down on a ledge, traitors and collaborators, buttons, sky news, outlets has as a report about civilians being at risk on territories. we captured by ukraine and some local say, key of can persecute any one accused of supporting russia. most of the refugees we me to reluctant to show their faces scared of what they've heard about the hunt for collaborators in areas we captured by ukraine. we did put up a dial 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 in present, which is independent journalist look where they say that a new tribunal in the west would not be approved by other countries unless they can
2:16 pm
also take pause while ukraine's own potential war crimes should also be investigated on in the west. the indignation has valuable geometry on we're seeing that in iraq. him, we've seen that libya, we're seeing them all in remain here for remember in 891. they found out that 4630 people had been massacred in our gym shorter and he was so afraid use if you speak of a tribunal international tribunal. who will you call as judges? i mean, not d cranes. i mean, they should be members. you know, they should be called to the bar, but they should opt to churches. it should be international judges. what about china? what about india? what about african countries? for example, in your song, in all the places, the fact that they have now. oh commandos cleaning command those there to, to liquidate to people who sympathize with the russian troops. what about the
2:17 pm
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 from the west to a us lawmakers, one congress to vote on a proposal to remove russia from the un security council. here's how the bypassing congressmen have justified their draft resolution. the russian federation has carried out an illegal 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. we've heard the u. s. ambassador to the un make noise around such an idea before,
2:18 pm
but there's really no mechanism for making this happen. there is no mechanism in the un charter for removing a permanent member of un security council. permanent means permanent and there is no procedure for removing members of the un security council that are prominent members. so if you look over the resolution is 11 pages long written by these 2 u. s. lawmakers. this then, it basically argues that because they consider russia's intervention into ukraine to be improper that 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, one as self advance and to as being done with the part 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,
2:19 pm
that leads the you add the united 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 2000. and one was, 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. the 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 in arms embargo and then the united states moved in to where the new, the 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,
2:20 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 international recognized government. so if you look over, if you look over the list of u. s. activities that have been carried out if a country simply intervening militarily in 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 the 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 a lot of countries, disgusted by ron's behavior,
2:21 pm
would have preferred something milder, like temporarily suspending iran from the commission on the status of women. but the u. s. effectively forced other members to get in line by announcing the initiative with very little warning. now iranian leaders 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 in the united states is 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 un is, is essentially becoming
2:22 pm
a mechanism for the united states to carry out international agenda. busy violation with proper proceedings. iran has spoken up about us abuses of the us. here's what's been said to stick with is simply, i know that a stack example of us hypocrisy the u. s. has made it a standard practice to abuse and drill such valued concept as human right in order to achieve it, to make political goal. and it has achieved so by utilizing you and platform and resources and the organization and multilateralism of united nations were exposed to have countries working together to carry out their goal. these, these, these goals don't seem to be being carried out. we see a situation where it appears that the united states using the un for political purposes. this latest moved to try and introduce legislation in the united states that would lead to russia being removed at the permanent member of the un security council. it has no legal basis in the un charter. there is no mechanism for
2:23 pm
removing a permanent member of the security council, but it, it companies and decreased effort by the united states to politicize the activities of the united nations. the u. s. has slapped a new round of sanctions on vin, bob way accusing the son of the african countries, presidents of corruption and human rights abuses. and bob boys, 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 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. whitehouse claims the african country has been carrying out
2:24 pm
disruptive actions against us foreign policy. washington is also handed. zimbabwe is ability to borrower from foreign financial institutions, which is contributed to hyper inflation in the country. meanwhile, the empower way house traditionally maintained good ties with russia, with the african nation, also refusing to support us back where solutions against moscow. at the u. n. political scientist which it ma home versus the usa to bring down, as in bob, when government will, the sanctions come in to make the economy males down. and when did make, when the economy been mailed down, there is a stretch of citizen despondency. days that i order and all of that, but sanctions did not playing the we're not playing introduced into this. but when political stays, sanctions, german with sponsored with them propaganda, sanctions came in with this subtle get a position political part to. so the idea is to assist in all of a 1000000000,
2:25 pm
again, elected governments, because you would not do that dc as it from a very key and really straightforward to record that since 1967, i do not partner in dismantling western imperialism. so without doubt, bob was funded direction with russia may actually contribute to that by the and i want to give us a constancy in madison. bob, we should be convinced by your story called punches to maintain its relations with russia, a turkish presidency. he wants to tame up with moscow anthem moscow to combat what he's called american fact. terrorist groups inside syria. this comes off, the u. s. military resumed, it patrols with kurdish leg militants in northern syria in weeks of turkish, as strikes in the area. non chorus military targeted sites on the division of the
2:26 pm
so called syrian democratic forces led by u. s. bonds, kurdish militias, ankara accuses because of carrying out a bomb attack and stumble last month, killing 6 people will be moving a few others had previously demanded. washington stopped supporting the s c. s warning that anchor would otherwise send its own troops into northern syria. report say they joined us as the patrols received on saturday, of the turkish ariel campaign had lost the largely subsided. and it's double bass, professor of international relations and law told us that washington is pursuing a policy of double standards in dealing with turkey is the right to surrender pro. thank it's people and kerry kerry, according to their article, 51. and it stayed in acceptable to us recognize big categories, organizations in other sites, when it coming to syria. these are then we'll get to the forces that will stand there, that the american sources and pick it same people. there are people and also the
2:27 pm
are killing civilian people, the in our country. the u. s. s. is stop to give him this effort that, that there is going up the test that we can give out. he can be go ahead, step by step to establish with normalization. we did serial number one and number 2 is the factory here. well known dad gary, though any intention of the very total intact would be against the syria. why the turkey, i've ever real, any male thought you got a p and given separate and up on them united states of america. i hope the us in sanctions on to the air and pull off the cloud. and whether they want, why the sam from soldiers is due at border there at the tech thing to whom. and for a while the if they wanted to accept them, if they want to protect the a p a p. he why they were be the pickup date means
2:28 pm
reflecting the separate thing if they're, if they're gonna say things they may, they do like the crime in the neck of the reagan administration. poland his police chief was hospitalized after a gift from a work trip to ukraine. reported he exploded in his head quarters. a ceiling on the ground floor was understood to have collapsed at rooms above were damaged, and the officer is not being treated for mine. injuries. ponens, ministry of interior of the present was given off for a meeting with ukraine's police and emergency services report with a claim that was a grenade launcher and investigation into the incident has been launched with poland asked, asking ukraine to provide an appropriate explanation many thanksgiving company here on the international as always you can find the latest updates on our website. ah
2:29 pm

2:30 pm
he become my new friend. the one was love gonna die or i was, he is. i would stay alive. it was they next to me. if i'm not crazy enough, i'm not gonna make it a year with the world is now engaged in a math of real life. i'm a new data who is responsible for the tax record north k one and no i think.
