the american economy, so there is your boomerang. ah ah, ah, close. he thought they say american made drones were used by ukraine to bomb targets inside russia, despite washington, claiming it has not supplied any weapons to direct use against the country with explosions that buildings on the car on fire and the russians. does he have done yes, leaving one family wounded after ukrainian forces show residential areas with the latest the you sanctioned target? are teeth parent company by freezing? if you are a p, an acid in the latest attack on media? freedom with

welcome from all of our team here in moscow. this is alta international with the latest world news update. it's good to have you with us. and the u. s. reportedly produced on supply drones that ukraine used to talk it. infrastructure inside russia by washington, claiming such weapons have not been handed over to kenneth, but our source is beg to differ. it's been determined that the avi onyx and control stations of the drones were manufactured by american company scepter works, which performed their initial calibration and testing at scottsdale airport. and arizona analysis of the electronic units of intercept drones showed that the ukrainian military also used these. you avi's to attack infrastructure facilities and some estoppel as well as the belgrade curse can varone as regions. well, i was also say the final drone assembly and test flights were conducted an air

field in poland, which was used as the main nato hub before supplying weapons. the kid b u. a visa said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of a death and cripple we rog, early this month, washington denied allegations that us weapon supplied the key of had been used to bomb russia. we have not provided ukraine with weapons that is to use inside of russia. we've been very clear that these are defensive supplies. we are, the president said very clearly some time ago. we are not enabling ukraine to strike beyond beyond its borders. todd, us air force lieutenant colonel and with a blow account and queer task is the use of american made drones by ukraine is a new escalation of the western involvement. and the conflict is concerning an alarming and it is consistent with some of the other things we've seen leading up to this point. you know,

the intelligence sharing that has been going on us intelligence and that kind of thing. certainly the assistance with the american weapon systems that are been sent to ukraine along with american operators and trainers for that equipment out concerns about special forces being forward, being forward located to india surrounding countries including colon, but also the lab, lithuania, latvia, those guys are allies there, so this is just one more step in a very dangerous direction. providers of arms, they're making a lot of money. their stock is growing. it's, it's doing well. there are, they have guaranteed contracts well into the future. in part because of conflicts around the world, and specifically in due to the kind of money that's been spent on their company's products going into ukraine and going into this war effort relating to ukraine to

them. this is good business. well, we have requested a response from the pentagon to the reports, but a yet to hear anything back. we will keep you updated while this goes, who rushes don't boss. now what? he's 10 explosions walked the don't. yes. for public capital. overnight. local authorities and above ground missiles with find it a residential area by ukraine's military. one of the buildings that was hit reportedly caught fire windows were blown out and the entire floor was destroyed and another. when is this a missile fragments also struck a car, wounding a family inside ortiz, our big language channels heard from some don't yet, locals, about their life in the line of fire are in serious units of blood, the auction, the ukrainian regime ignores all the rules and targets purely civilian areas. there are no military personnel, they're only local residents. small children leave here. i have no idea what they're doing and when it will end, the silly vaudeville there was massive shelling,

2 old women got so scared they fainted. we hope someone will help us, not a day goes by and announced without casualties and destruction is. and the reason for this is the key of regimes. heavy shelling of residential areas. the shelling only grows more powerful day by day bother ukrainians. shells on fires and western weapons are raining down on the heads of civilians, residential neighborhoods, places of worship, and hospitals have become legitimate targets of the key of regime. all the showing by ukrainian forces of this church and the centre of don't ask is irrefutable evidence of key of deliberate and planned crimes america whose lists of targets is consuming more and more solo at the curb. elbows you the meanwhile president vladimir putin has visited russia's command center for the military operation in ukraine. that he heard a report on the progress of the operation and held meetings with commanders when he became acquainted with the work of the joint staff of rushes armed forces.

new details have emerged in the case of an explosion at the polish police headquarters in warsaw allegedly caused by a grenade launcher that was gifted to the country's police chief by ukraine. according to polish media, the weapon had been brought into the country by ukrainian officials, by train, without any security checks to people including the police chief, sustained injury steering the blast after the ceiling of the building was damaged by shrapnel. poland interior ministry says the explosive present was received after a meeting with ukraine's police and emergency services in warsaw. poland has demanded an explanation from key f, which has yet to comment on the incident. the e u is tightening the screws on media freedom with the blogs, latest package of sanctions, freezing our t 0 p, and assets in an effort to silence russia. my colleague here, well, it is about discuss the development with our he's marina conser of all this is now

the nines package of sanctions and they're supposed to be hard heading as the european union has called them. and basically what we're seeing with our t's that there sanction in our she's power company are now to the novice the in europe. so basically brussels is season funds and acids belonging to our c as well as some other over the channels. and not only that, they also want to make sure that there are no funds or economic resources made available to them, whether it's directly or indirectly. and this not only affects entities, but also people associated with the company. this is what's interesting and also another aspect to this is that there are more ross and channels being sanctioned as well. some of them have just one news broadcast every day, for example. and what else do we know about this latest round of e u sanctions? well, it's a huge list of not only people being sanctioned, but also different industries. so for example, we have now the latest,

the number is that there 1386 people who are sanctions in total and 171 organizations. and they're really wants to make sure that it, it hits russia where it hurts according to them. so for example, there are really target thing. the ross has military industrial complex. they're looking at export restriction when it comes to technologies that contributes rushes, military takes abilities and also its ability to work on certain technologies. they're trying to, we can russia when it comes to its military, there is also and other and the energy sector. for example, no new investments can be made by a foreign companies within russian energy sector. there is also a v, a sion and for example, more banks have been added. and well, it's interesting they're cutting rushes access to drones. so not only is the direct exports of drone engines now forbidden to russia,

but also to other countries that may circumvent this. and then, for example, through other countries, exports it to raso. so that's also not allowed. so this is a multifaceted attack on russia. absolutely. and through different industries, but particularly the military industrial complex, this is what they're really focusing on. and they want to make sure that russia is weekends on the battle ground. and some experts have already come out and set it. for example, with the freezing of the assets when it comes to our table clearly what they've done so far by binding the channel on youtube, for example, that hasn't worked. we know that there was a pole in germany recently. what people that still wants to watch it still find ways to watch it and you and i know that you can watch or not just on satellite tv, but you can go online and people have been posting lots of videos. so that's what they're not happy with. and they're trying to make sure that it's sub found by cutting any funds that are made available to r t or any ways in which russia can circumvent the sanctions and is remaining up

and running that. and also the military aspect is very important. that's what they're trying to do to weaken it, but also the same time, this is what we're talking about. the european union has been saying all along that it's all for freedom of speech. well, this doesn't look very much like freedom of speech when you're trying to completely shut down the other angle of the story. well, for my c, i a analyst on c, i was associate larry jones and say the west is telegraphing its weakness by censoring alternative viewpoints. the you cannot handle the truth, they keep projecting their own weakness their own faults, their own inability, just maintain proper armies and field, the ammunition to keep them. supplied. governments that engage in this kind of conduct are reflecting their own weakness their own impotence, because they have their powerless to stop russia from working with other countries like india, like china, like south africa, even brazil,

to form an independent group of nations that are not beholden to the west, i've done a lot of television. i've done all the major american media, abc, cbs, nbc, all the cable channels, fox news. and i've done the b, b, c, r t is the only news channel we're, i've been asked to come on and you don't interview me in advance to find out if i'm going to say what you want to hear. you let me speak what i take. and i think that is a remarkable tribute to r t. so this is a desperate attempt, by the way, to try to keep the people blinded in an ignorance. but what's going to happen is reality will intrude. one of these days ukraine will collapse, and russia will have its victory. and at that point, the west europe in particular, is going to have to decide whether they want to continue to freeze in the dark,

be without oil and gas. or if they want to become grown ups and start dealing with russia in a respectful way and have proper relationships. the director of the you as well as health organization has acute ever tray and troops of murdering his uncle along with more than 50 other civilians. any theory appears, war torn t gray province. in october, the director accused the international community of failings pay enough attention to the conflict. so i think that it had spawned the health crisis. that is now affected some 6000000 people. meanwhile, a foreign policy chief, yoseph burrell of expressed his frustration with the situation and more than one month after fees file was announced in the region. then one thing that has kept me very busy, very sorry, and very frustrated, is ethiopia, not enough people talk about it. we don't talk a lot about ethiopia. yes. from time to time when their piece discussions, but what is happening in te, grazed the deadliest war. we complain rightly about what is happening in ukraine.

but what is happening in ethiopia is really awful. the war stems from a long standing confrontation between the government and the authorities of the autonomous t gray region. it's blocked a huge humanitarian crisis, which has left more than 5000000 people facing starvation. even though a ceasefire agreement has been in place since november, ethiopians have criticized eve foreign policy chief years that burrell accusing him of not doing enough to help and the suffering. what, what i understood from burrell statements is that they don't want us to stay united by dividing us along ethnic lines, religion and language. it is because they don't want peace to prevail, that they are going back and fanning the conflict so that we go back to war and remain week so on. but now we have peace in our country, but they go back and try to bring up old wounds so that we go to war again. they look like they are helping us to reconcile it. but then you see them working hard to take us back to ward. my god. i mean there was no time that the west stopped

conspiring against us in old times or to day, let alone ethiopia. they don't want to see african play when it comes to them there . so for the casual it is, he said in his speech that her from 602800000 people love been king to for so. so for our forces and d to gay forces are in the process of implementing the truce. it's obvious that hail can country so they look and union would take her seriously, you craned and african her country so we can ruin that even aid has significantly decreased and not, not necessarily because of the conflict in europe and, but also on the outpatient. generally given to the africa, the u. s. has withheld hundreds of classified documents on the $963.00, assassination of john f. kennedy. well ready thing, more than 13000 new papers on the infamous case. president biden claims for the

disclosures are being prevented by national security concerns. i agree that continued postponement of public disclosure of such information is warranted to protect against and identifiable harm to the military defense intelligence operations, long foresman or the conduct of foreign relations. that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure, 5 percent of the documents remained, were dank, said with sci spokesperson, as saying all of them will be released off to a quote, intensive one year review. president kennedy was shot dead while writing in a motorcade through dallas on november 22nd 1963 thousands of tv shows films, books and articles that explored the idea that his death was the result of an elaborate conspiracy. although none have produced conclusive proof folks, news host, tucker carlson, says washington's failure to release all the papers off to all this time is

a red flag. is there a benign explanation for that, for maintaining this level of secrecy for this many years? not the were aware of, and it is illegal. in 1992 congress passed the president john f kennedy assassination records collection act. that act mandated, full disclosure of all documents by 201754 years after j of k was killed. the last administration promised to comply fully with that law, but under intense pressure from sky director mike pompeo with held in the end, thousands of pages of ca, documents. today this afternoon, the by the ministration did exactly the same thing. that would be thousands of pages of documents after nearly 60 years after the death of every single person involved. but we still can't see them clearly. so to protect any person, they're all dead is to protect an institution. if there is so whisper about,

he pulled the trigger. john hinckley drew near the cia, a mysterious black dog man, even actor woody harrison's father. we spoke to john korea, q, the host of whistleblowers, who discussed the reasons why congress continues to keep some documents secret. 59 years after the event, these documents are redacted in whole or in part, bill clinton, george w. bush, barack obama, donald trump, and joe biden, have all decided to keep these documents secret. i find it bizarre. nobody cares. after 59 years, nobody cares. there's no danger to the national security, so i think eventually cooler heads are going to prevail and these documents will be released. and i think that historians will be disappointed because i don't expect them to say anything important. there are conspiracy theories that the american mafia killed, kennedy that the soviet leadership killed kennedy that the cubans killed kennedy. i very slowly come to the conclusion that the c i a probably did have something to do

with john kennedy's killing. we know that the cia hated kennedy because he didn't provide air cover during the bay of pigs. if that's the case, just in the interests of transparency and the rule of law. i would hope that if someone is at the cia and has information that can confirm or refute that theory that they should come out with it. aging has launched out that japan accusing it of hi ping up the chinese threats while stressing they claims that it is an unprecedented strategic challenge. a completely groundless goes out under the japanese side. ignores facts deviates from its commitment to china. japan relations and grantly described as china. we once again urged the japanese side to adhere to the principle that the 2 countries are cooperative partners and do not pose a threat to each other. i being up the china threat to find an excuse for its mil to rebuild up, is doomed to fail. this allegation comes in at

a plant military spending spree by its hotel that many see is violating his post world war 2 demilitarization policy. japan is adopted a $315000000000.00 military build up plan when he gets armed force investment to the 3rd highest globally. prime minister female case, she does that the changes were needed due to the destructive activities of its neighbors as another worker. unfortunately, in the vicinity of our country, there are countries carrying out activities such as enhancement of nuclear capabilities. a rapid military build up and unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force in the next 5 years. in order to fundamentally reinforce our defense capabilities. we will implement a defense build up program worth about $315000000000.00 in 2027 with reinforced defense capabilities and complimentary initiatives. we will secure a defense budget of 2 percent of g d, p. c. according to japan's constitution,

after world war 2, the country forever renounced war and the use of offensive weapons since the end of the occupation of the country in the 1950s, the u. s. as pushed japan to revise this article of their constitution encouraging the islands to upgrade its military capabilities. however, in a 2014 change of policy, the japanese government allowed their military to fight in support of allies under attack. nelson, long vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. thing tag, say, the world should pay close attention to japan as it builds up its military in japan is using what they call strategic challenge from china to increase its defense budget. and this is something that i think the rest of the world will have to watch very closely because japan is not supposed to to do that. and it's cost to ship. and this is an obvious

pushing of the envelope using something that doesn't really make sense. it's not that china is going to respond. china should not be the only countries i respond to this happening. i think most of the countries, all of the countries in the region in the, in that just to have a clear memory of what happened during the 2nd world war. and they should all come up to, to respond to, to this upcoming incident. the u. k. prime minister has reportedly ordered an audit to the countries on supplies to ukraine. the movie said to have spunk, face their wishes tonight could flash military age to kiev, which is already suppose $3000000000.00 pounds this year. they will get a report to the end, providing clarity on how exactly the british weapons have been used by ukraine's army. british military official stress becoming months are crucial to winning the

battle on the ground. is, comes amid waiting support for the proxy will among some european nations across in germany, opposition politicians urging berlin to stop sending. the key of which they have accused of trying to drag other countries into the conflicts sped inside. zalinski think zalinski does not defend western values. he is corrupt and his band opposition parties and media in ukraine. he is responsible for war crimes, shut the door of peace negotiations with russia at the legislative level and is allowed. those accused of cooperating with russia to be tortured and killed. sell and zalinski carries out terrorist actions and tries to draw more and more western countries into his war fruit targeted revocation. so borton, d, median glasgow child to me while ukraine's president has reportedly been denied a speech of sunday's world cup final. cnn say that faith turns down fatima zalinski is request to have a statement televised ahead of the kick off fin cancer while teen i my

a chairman of the german council of the constitution and sovereignty shed his take on why the world is growing. weary of supporting ukraine is definitely ukraine fatigue and our country in germany because people come to hear it anymore. and they don't want to continue to be told that they have to suffer in order to help you crane by sea coming to an end. as a conflict that is already a proxy warrant, or was, has been prophesied war between the united states of america and russia, as well as china. mr. folks criticized iran for sending drones to russia to used and in this conflict. and he said that iran has become a party and is conflict by that. now, what is the difference when recent tanks, your job party into conflict? and of course our constitutional saying that whoever's doing so and drawing the german people into a war is a subject to

a penalty of at least 10 years to life. so mr. charles is on very thin ice, sending more arms and we want him all along. don't do it, not only for the sake of a kind of either, don't get gas or oil. no, we won't. so don't want to one day find ourselves. i'm seated again, like in 1945. well, the major powers come to you to our hats. hey, thanks for keeping his company here in asi international. this saturday will be back in 30 minutes with the latest. ah, ah, ah.

with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very particular time time to sit down and talk

with joggers archipelago coma that she goes to san diego garcia, the largest island in the archipelago is now the location of a very large u. s. military base. you could give a med div our i to the u. s. government to make a military base and just deported all of douglas and people from their country. so big caught return back on the island. no, no, but we are fighting. that's why i'm fight. we'll fighting for the right, so i, we do not consider the right to self determination actually applies to the trickle . since i don't, the question on self determination of the legal advice we've received is actually the trickle. since we're not at all, not a people for me, it's time to move on and see what we can do. a full the tumbler said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination. i commission african

united nish. i don't care about juggler, said people ah, i am ashley mackenzie, and welcome to going underground in the week of an unprecedented alliance between the communist party of china and the kingdom of saudi arabia and the gulf cooperation council. the one, the senior us officials urgently met with chinese counterparts this week for so called in depth talks over taiwan after the state visit of chinese president, chin ping to saudi arabia's capital. re add this after opec plus including the u. e and the saudi arabians refuse jo biden's requests for more oil production to save nature nations from the ukraine proxy war. joining me for today's episode to talk

about whether there will be lasting, tragic repercussions for the usa in the new geopolitical landscape. is renowned expert on china's foreign relations dresser, one ging, he's the director of the institute of the us and pacific studies at the shanghai international studies university. and he joins me from berlin, where he's richard one read seca fellow at the robert bush academy. thank you so much, professor for coming on. so it must have been important if even a host of the world cup pazzar officials that to a tend to leave the world cup. what does it signify because there's been relatively little press attention in nature, nation media, whereas the global south has it is their 3rd headline on all their news bulletins. uncle is very significant is the 1st time as far as i can remember, that chinese talk mostly in a country. and you know, symbolic also has a lot of it actually shows that both

sides. china and the rock countries are strong, common ground interest. go into the school, which is a lot going on your career and also career competition going up united states and china cost. there is a great uncertainty about future bar this summer in china. aerobics countries, all the car council, a science really, really want to join hands on to bring some pop goods to both sides. i think that this was great, of course. well, i was interested in something that can be there in berlin, but we're not in an echo chamber. i know that professor, but as you know, the think tanks and g o z a are arguably in echo chambers we read from the atlantic council bill saying that one shouldn't redo much significance in this. and the

other saying this is incredibly significant. the national security council spokesperson in washington said john kirby said we are mindful of the influence the china is trying to grow around the world. and of course this in the context of the fact that us agencies of already labeled china, the number one enemy of the united states. do you think there's a battle in washington that being one by those you see joiner is an enemy rather than as a partner to cooperate with.
