an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the us ordered a crock down on the protesters and peru, according to the out the president federal castillo, who has now been sentenced to at least 18 months in jail, by peruse us back government. the africa leader summit wrapped up in washington with america top diplomat breaking off the west colonial path to criticize russia. the un overwhelmingly adopt a russian profit resolution despite the glorification of nazi is not despite you

prayed and multiple western countries. voting against the motion with good morning from moscow to wherever you may be. watching. welcome to this hours, most vital news. stories from around the globe, i'm fearless about, peruse, supreme court has ruled that ousted president pembroke, us feel must were made and pre trial detention accused of inciting a rebellion. the former leader will remain in custody for the next 18 months. while the new government builds a case against the verdict comes as proves, new leadership announces a 30 days state of national emergency in response to a federal conceal supporters entering their 2nd week of protest leaving the country and deadlock protest. iraq did after congress impeach the former president and

ordered military vehicles into the nation's capital. a decision the ousted leader believes, was made at the behest of the u. s. ambassador, who has fully packed the newly sworn in government. political analyst, cda, or ortiz, explains the was involvement in the sudden transition of power. if castillo can be set free to day, he could go to the palace. you will have thousands of people with him. you will have the crowd of people with him. many officers would hesitate to resist an order from him. those are the facts of the matter. they will try to keep them in jail as much as they can for as long as they can in the harshest conditions that they can possibly do to president allegedly former president. i think that this is a house of cards. the peruvian state is going all out suppressive protests. they have troops on the ground that have been murdering the people. they have been

meeting with the ambassador to the united states to pursue elisa, can i met with the minister of the friends of peru just a couple of days before the co, the u. s. government has always had its hands improve in politics. if you look at the layout of politics, there is plenty of, and cios from germany, from the united states, from britain that seek to rome, if you will, or the next generation of political operatives in room period. so that is say western influence and cios and other operatives can try to take away our country and install another. the quality of the ah, the african liter summit has concluded in washington with u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and speaking to journalist, to wrap up the event, he didn't miss the opportunity to criticize russia, making a comparison to the west own colonial past. it's very powerful because

you hear countries that are, were here in washington this week, gonna kenya. so many others that had been the victims of imperialism in the past, and who see that now happening to ukraine by russia. throughout the 3 day summit, the united states declared the importance of the region in solving global problems in a bid to compete with africa's other partners, china and russia. the u. s. has already signed deals worth $15000000000.00 and voice support for the african union initiative for permanent g 20 membership. with the u. s. secretary of defense accusing russia and china are, will you stabilizing activities in the region? beijing responded by urging the u. s. to stop using africa as they power games arena. people. however, not all african countries were invited to the summit,

guinea sudan arethia molly and burkina faso didn't receive an invitation due to their contrasting political views. we spoke with locals in those countries who shared their. a opinions about us intentions in the region. what a law firm in france in the usa, rejected in africa, it's due to their politics. this initiative is a way to preserve their image in africa. my wishes to have a trusted partner who is on it to bring good ideas and the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. it's an opportunity for joe biden to bring the us back to their former position in africa because united states of america are trying to take advantage of it for a long time. we've been under the leadership of europeans, it's them who colonized this and they all the origin of all these things. i believe the u. s. is targeting europe place in africa. we spoke with john kerry alco,

host of the whistle blowers who thinks that the real reason for not inviting these countries is a lack of benefit for the us. even when the new governments of these countries have pledged a return to democracy and of in some cases scheduled democratic elections that still wasn't good enough for the united states. and so these 5 countries weren't invited. and i'll add that these 5 countries are 5 that in which the united states can't make any money right now, russia is very popular in africa. china, china is very popular in africa. and the western countries are not there, not because they ignored the needs of the change of the african people and the african governments for many, many years. the u. s. presence is literally a one of, of war. the only real us presence in any of these countries is a paramilitary force. look at molly, for example, or mauritania,

or any of the other of this a hell countries need air. we only know by accident because of a leak that the united states has a military presence there. a military presence that has not been approved by congress, whose job it is just to, to kill people. and to try to keep these host governments in, in power. former us intelligence officer rebecca coughlin, believes that the price cap on russian energy will lead to greater difficulties. she says that bite needs to step up, noting that his quote, nonsensical policies are what led us into the crisis. for the united states, we want ukraine to win, but given that this goal is simply unachievable, the button administration needs to step ban and really act doesn't that down. so what's happening right now, we again are effectively reducing the supply,

which ganette is gonna push the price way up and is gonna rigor shan against us, the united states. we already walking into a recession and against to europe. these types of nonsensical policies by the buy number, the sion is what got us here in the 1st place. meanwhile, european countries are set to expand sanctions on russian goods and add $200.00 more russian citizens to their sanctions list. the e u commission president added that the block has sent over 19000000000 euros to ukraine and 2022 and will continue to support caves war as long as it takes an additional 2000000000 euros has been approved for the expansion of the european piece facility which assist an army ukraine that's according to the polish prime minister. more to discuss with scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer. welcome to the program. rebecca

costler says the u. s. has to step up its support of ukraine to help the lensky way . do you think the american public is comfortable providing more aid at their own expense, especially given the countries current economic state. i believe that the american people will do what the american congress supports, and we've seen both democratic and republican support for continued a funding of the ukrainian military and economic systems. it keep in mind that even though america's going through a difficult financial time right now, russ, a phobia, has been ingrained. so ingrained in the american psyche that it doesn't take much to convince the american people that there is

a threat emanating to emanating from russia. that's worthy of the financial investments that we're making in ukraine. i mean, as a victory even possible, the by that administration is reportedly set to boost efforts to try weapons sat to ukraine. should we expect more accountability or could there be other reasons for putting more american boots on the ground in ukraine? was the 2 questions era is victory even possible for ukraine? the answer is no. ukraine simply cannot win this conflict. basic military math revolves around the competing notions of a burn rate and replenishment rate. simply dictate the outcome, ukraine is burning through resources faster than they can be replenished in russia . and the other hand is not burning through its resources and is in a position to rapidly replenish your 300 mobilized troops

when it comes to the possibility of you know, mission creek on the part of american forces in ukraine. i think the current effort to account for the weapons that have been by ukraine does not provide an adequate vehicle for this. there's only a limited number of troops that are involved and the additional troops that are being allocated for this task number and single digits. i'm talking less than and people being involved in this. so this isn't the kind of vehicle for escalation that would be needed to see you know, america possibly getting involved in the ukrainian conflict. going forward. recently, a senior british general admitted that the u. k. royal marines took part in covert operations in your grade. is it fair to say that the same could be true about their american counterparts?

anything's possible. i would say this that american combat troops affiliated directly, philly with the department defense, will not be operating in ukraine without congressional authority. and no congressional authority has been forthcoming. so any involvement of americans on the ground in, in ukraine, in a potential covered combat relationship or mission would be done through the cia. and of course there are mechanisms where american military personnel can be chopped over to the ca. we saw that for instance, in the obama, i mean in the us, i would been lot rate where seal team 6 was transferred to the cca authority for the duration of that mission. so, you know, we could have american troops on the ground and bulging, covert operations of, but they would be working through the ca, now through the department of defense. and the west, of course,

is set to impose their 9th package of anti russian sanctions. i made an attempt at a price cap on russian oil. do you think such actions will even be effective? ultimately? no, there's nothing the west can do to to disrupt the russian economy at this point. this is a field effort. these, these iterations of us sanctions are purely political gestures by europe to, to basically have european politicians say, look how strongly are look, how firm we are. but they're backfiring. the bottom line is, it's not the russian economy. it's faltering. it's the european union economy altering and the sole reason for this is because of the boomerang effect of the sanctions that they're trying to impose on russia, which are ricocheted back and doing extensive damage to europe. notice thought read our former u. m. marine corps and intelligence officer. thank you. the cherry ah,

the un general assembly has adopted a russian drafted resolution to combat the glorification of naziism and racial discrimination with the majority of countries voting in its favor. the resolution lays out a plan to fight fascism and other factors which fuel racism, discrimination, xenophobia, and related and tolerances over $100.00 members voted in favor of the bill and 50, including the u. s. ukraine, germany and italy voted against it. meanwhile, in a swipe at moscow to us, lawmakers have asked congress to vote on a proposal to remove russia from the un security council. here's how the bipartisan congressman justified their draft resolution. the russian federation has carried out and 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. we've heard the u. s. ambassador to the un make noise around such an idea before, but there's really no mechanism for making this happen. there is no mechanism in the un charter for removing a permanent member of the un security council. permanent means permanent and there is no procedure for removing members of the un security council that are permanent members. so if you look over the resolution, it's 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 or. busy 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 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 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 the 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 at 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 into with 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, 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 u. s. activities that have been carried out in a country simply intervening militarily and another country is enough to remove a country. the 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 financially 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, 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 is kind of arbitrarily preventing the military government of the and mar, from representing itself as a member of the united nations body. and all of this points to the united nations essentially being abuse. the un is, is essentially becoming a mechanism for the united states to carry out its international agenda and violation with proper proceedings. iran had spoken up about us abuses of the un. here's what's been said. this. the quiz is simply another respect example of us hypocrisy. the u. s. has made it a standard practice to abuse and derives such valued concept as human right in order to achieve it to make political goal. and it has achieved so by utilizing you, platform and resources. the organization and multilateralism of the nations were supposed 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, de, and charter. there is no mechanism for removing a permanent member of the security council, but it, it accompanies an creased effort by the united states to politicize the activities of the united nations. now to the balkans where the serbian president has criticized costello's application to the e. u, stating its membership would be a violation of the blogs contracts. yours. what are the what they do today? certain countries in the you is a breach of the you contract because one of the conditions for asking for you membership is to be a european state. i don't know which criteria is used to classify something as

a state. is that the opinion of some of the biggest countries in the e u, or is it according to the u. n. membership we're, we're used to all that and we'll have to oppose it and protect our national and state interests as much as possible with us for no charge. the motors, christina submitted an application to join the e. u earlier this week with belgrade calling for its cancellation, serbia, along with other un members, do not recognize kosovo as an independent republic. meanwhile, tension between belgrade and kosovo authorities in the northern part of the region continue. furby and protesters put up barricades last week, demonstrating against the arrest of the former kosovo sir police officer. local residents shared their reactions to the current situation the counting cost of his application to join the e. u. i think pushin and loud this because there are full sage and he's humiliating for cbs. while the politicians on waging their own battles,

ordinary people are suffering. i think the situation could escalate into something more than trace if there is not enough wisdom and reason of both sides. a hell dish will be solved in a peaceful manner because layman like this is really in humane. it what you felt live. the current situation is concerning because we have never reached this type of boiling point, even in 2000 a night where they declared independence. we see the large oppression and systematic expelling of serbs from kosovo and meto. he r plus arrests of innocent people without any reasoning or people being frightened into leaving the cycle. so some stormy school serves here are frightened and living in great fear, awaiting future events. the north of kosovo is blocked by barricades and we hope that the violations of human rights will stop and that the arrested serbs will be free and that they can at least defend themselves from outside of jail. and who was others. on the 13th of his little, we just finished another meeting of the crisis staff, which is made of political representatives of serbs, along with higher officials,

professors, doctors, and business men, in which we discuss the situation in kosovo and mentor. here, we once again appeal to our citizens to remain firm and calm and to respect international representatives. it is necessary to do everything to achieve peace. course of a special forces must withdraw from the north of kosovo and middle. here it is evident that their presence, especially in multicultural places in northern metropolis, inspires fear into our citizens. because fully armed, special forces are marching near their homes. they harass citizens bully them and violently search their vehicles. we have a situation where people cannot leave their homes peacefully and it is urgently needed for those units to withdraw from it because they're not contributing to be here. the u. s. is to name a new warship after notorious battles saw in iraq in 2004, in which human rights groups claim, washington committed war crimes, something the u. s. denies. earlier my colleagues spoke to ortiz,

dont quarter about 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 on those who sacrificed their lives during both bottles of fallujah. this namesake deserves to be in the pantheon of iconic marine cool bottles. well, 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 us 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 to woocommerce in the us department, white house for susan keyson soon to leave tonight, and emissions for this. tracy was use a rain of fresh from use hamptons, and we'll seeking solution of these attempts to manipulate the narrative of what happens 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 brass

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 lack. of course, the usage of chemical weapons on the people of fallujah has had that 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. a 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, there have been a lot of reports have been made since then that linked these types of illnesses to the battlefield findings suggest the enriched uranium exposure. it's either a 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 modern battlefields. so the u. s. military's 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, former marine and author of the sacking of fallujah says the new name only serves to rewrite history by further stigmatizing those who suffered the city of lucia, even within iraq, has become stigmatized because of the propaganda that the u. s. military was conducting during the course of these operations. this is kind of a new propaganda apparatus. in the u. s. military, they called information operations, and it was doing this not just after the fact as propaganda is traditionally been done to sort of val arise the, the actions of this or that military. but this was going on during the battle itself to manage the public's perceptions of what was happening in one of the

aspects of this propaganda campaign was to characterize the, the rebel fighters in from the as terrorists associated with al qaeda. and then later, when i says took over the city that even further entrenched this perception of felicia as being filled with extreme listen to the state people, the rockies, living in felicia, suffered because less isolated from the rest of the rock. and they're still suffering due to the war pollution. it's very difficult to do humanitarian work because of the can security and political atmosphere there. so i think doing something like naming a battleship pollution just further contribute to this false sense of what happened there. i think it's inappropriate, at the same time, it's not all that shocking. this is something the u. s. military has been doing for a long time. i long understood the importance of creating and disseminating

victor's history. of the wars and battles and and those were this ours most pressing new stories from around the world for more 247 years, had over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble and gab. we'll see you again next hour. ah, fresh in the west, revive the cold war because both recognize and practice, the concept of indivisibility of security. one country should not attempt to attain security at the expense of another country. this is exactly what the west has done against russia to the point of claiming russia has no right to any security guarantees. ah, in the least of counter russian state will never be

as tight as on the north landscape with within the 55 with the speed anyone else with will ban in the european union the kremlin. yup. machine, the state on russia for date and square r t sport that even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with me. ah, ah.
