oh, i thought he thought he say american made drones were used by ukraine to bone targets inside russia, despite washington claiming it was not. it has not supplied weapons for direct use against the country. explosion fed buildings on the car, on fire in the russian city. if don't, yes, leaving one family wounded of the ukrainian forces, the shell, residential areas with garage from kids on the latest ears, sanctioned target artes, parent company by freezing it's european as it in the latest attack on media. freedom

ah, a very warm welcome. you're watching aussie international with the latest world news update update. it's good to happy with us. the u. s. reportedly produced on supplying trends that ukraine used to target infrastructure inside russia. that is by washington, claiming such weapons have not been handed over to keith, but also says 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 in settle stapo, as well as the belgrade curse can varone as regions. our sources say the final drone assembly and test flights were conducted and filled in poland,

which was used as the main nato hub for supplying weapons to key. if the u. a visa said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of a death and crippling rog. early this month, washington denied allegations that us weapon supplied the key of has 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. where time us air force lieutenant colonel and whistleblower. karen queer town ski say the use of american made joined by ukraine is a new escalation of the western involvement and the conflicts. it is concerning and 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 be assistance with the american weapon systems that are being sent to ukraine along with american operators and trainers for that equipment out concerns about special forces being forward being forward located into surrounding countries including poland, but also the elaborate 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. we have requested a response from the pentagon to the reports for the yet to hear anything back. we'll keep you updated was he was just on bass now we're and he's 10 explosions. walks the dawn. yes. republics. capital lovin, nice local authority. say, a number of grant missiles were fight at a residential area by ukraine's military. one of the buildings that was hit report and he caught fire while windows were blown. austin, an entire floor, was destroyed in another. what is this a miss? all fragments also struck a car, wounding a family inside marty's arabic language channel hide from some don. yes, local was about their life in the line of fire grains, your issue even isabella, blood, the auction. the ukrainian regime ignores all the rules and targets purely civilian areas. there are no military personnel, they're only local residence, small children leave here. i have no idea what they're doing and when it will end, the silly barbara there was massive shelling. 2 old women got so scared they

fainted. we hope someone will help us label, not a day goes by and, and asked without casualties and destruction. and the reason for this is the key of regimes heavy shelling of residential areas. the shelling only grows more powerful day by day and bob, ukrainian shells own fires and western weapons are raining down on the heads of civilians, folk residential neighborhoods, places of worship, and hospitals that have become legitimate targets of the key of regime. the shelling by ukrainian forces of this church and the center of damascus, irrefutable evidence of caves, deliberate and planned crimes. america whose lists of targets is consuming more and more sold at the curb. and meanwhile, president vladimir pierson has visited russia's command center for the military operation. and ukraine that he heard a report on the progress of the operation and how'd meetings with command as they 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 with that was gifted to the country's police chief by crane. according to polish media, the weapon had been brought into the country by ukrainian officials, by trade without any security checks to people, including the police chief, sustained injuries during the block of the ceiling of the building was damaged by shrapnel, poland, inferior ministry phase, the explosive present was received after meeting with ukraine's police and emergency services in warsaw. poland has demanded an explanation from k f which has yet to comment on the incident that you with tightening the screws on media freedom with the blocks latest package of sanctions, freezing art, easy repeating assets. in an effort to silence russia, my colleague, fear willa is about discuss the development with ours. he's marina, cause all this is now the nines package of sanctions, and they are supposed to be hard hitting as the european union has called them. and

basically what we're seeing with our t's that they're sanctioning ours, he's paying company and not to be involved in europe. so basically brussels is season funds and assets belonging to r 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 not only affect entities, but also people associated with the company. this is what's interesting and also another aspect to this is that there are more russian 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. busy 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 sanctioned in

total and 171 organizations. and they're really wants to make sure that it, it hits rush out 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 with friction 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 foreign companies within roches energy sector. there's also a v, a sion and for example, more banks have been added. and what's interesting, they're cutting rushes access to drones. so not only is the direct exports of drone engines now forbidden to russia. so to other countries that may circumvent this. and then for example, through other countries, exports it to ross so,

so that's also not allowed. so this is a multifaceted attack on russia. absolutely. and through different industries, but particularly the military and dust real 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 to, for example, that hasn't worked. we know that there was a pole in germany recently. what people that still wants to watch and still find ways to watch it and you and i know that you can watch or is he not just on satellite cd, 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 it sub found by cutting any funds that are made available to r t or any ways in which russia concert convent 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. while this doesn't look very much like freedom of speech when you're trying to completely shut down the other angle of the story from a c, i analyst on c, c, it's lowery's. johnson said 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 to 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 are 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 think. and i think that is a remarkable tribute to r t. so this is a desperate attempt by the west to try to keep their people blinded in and in 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 grownups and start dealing with russia in a respectful way,

and have proper relationships then public outrage in moldova, all the government bond, 6 local russian language, tv channels. the move comes in a month long demonstrations against the failure of the authorities to rein in the countries economic crisis. officials claim the tv channels were closed due to the threat of pro russian views being broadcast across small dover. media crackdown has sparked fresh protests as hundreds of people have lost their jobs of the channels. one of the local journalists was even blogs on facebook, off the posting about her frustration that his how she responded to the tv ban. i miss you if i should have returned this is do i see the emergency situations commission? husband, the broadcasting of 6 channels in the republic of moldova, i consider this to be a lawlessness. it's pure dictatorship in our country one year. unfortunately, this is happening to day when the republic is fighting for development in democracy . this has all been trampled by our government to florida,

where the parliament is also mailing for a bill aimed at breaking free of the country. the soviet era legacy as no makers wants to rename the nation's official language from old oven to remain in pro western politicians, have been pushing for the move ever since moldova declared independence from moscow in 1991. this comes from it ongoing protests against president my son due to government's handling of the country's economy, people in the mo, dave and capital of march with the balance which in russian demonstrates is want to shift now to stop backing west and sanctions against most the day which has been already led to spiraling inflation and energy crisis and most over another journalist whose tunnel has been bound in the country since the incumbent government has closely red line of things. one in simple words. what happens is what we're feared the most and hoped until the last that it would not happen. because there are certain red lines that no one has ever crossed, no matter what regime is in the power in the old over. it seems to me that whether

a tv channel works well or not, should always be decided by the audience. the fact that these channels had not covered the agenda, the way the resume would like to be heard. story, but what about freedom of speech? what about european democratic norm? what about the very pluralism of opinions that they talked about during the election campaign? we all remember how the current leader recently spoken russian given their election campaigns and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of modot and believe them whatever's ban of the russian tv channels is a crackdown of media freedom, not a response from the russian foreign ministry we can see that these been an unprecedented actress, political censorship, an outrage against the principle of media pluralism, and the gross violation of the right to freedom and access to information to which the political leadership of the republic regularly declares its commitment in light of the unprecedented consequences of its implementation for the russian speaking

part of the country's population would also qualify it as a cynical infringement of the rights of national minorities. would demand international conversations to give an adequate assessment of what happens and take all appropriate measures to correct this an acceptable situation. another mold, ivan journalist, how does that anti russian views are being promoted by a few members of the moldova government times the western patrons. what you more good you knew the woman a lot of moldova are dissatisfied with the position of the thoughtless, many even despised president my a santa's party. even those who voted for her will not really supporting her what were only against the former leaders of the country. many now do not consider her a legitimate presidency. but now she and her party have completely reserved power. there is no opposition and will go us. people come out to protest, but the movement is dis, united, which is very convenient for the government in. russo phobia does not exist in our country what everything they say about it is not true. for example, what the government of my

a santa does in relation to the russian speaking population, is only her opinion and decision. it does not express the opinion of the entire moldova people. it expresses only the opinion of a handful of bosses who have now seized power in the country, and those who led them to power. i mean, 1st and foremost, the u. s. and the european union, and most moldova, and still love russia, and hope that the situation will change. the director of the u. n's world health organization has accused eritrea and trips of murdering his uncle, along with more than 50 other civilians in ethiopia as war torn t gray province. in october, the director accused the international community of failing to pay enough attention to the conflict. stressing that had spawned a health crisis that has now affected some 6000000 people. meanwhile, a you foreign policy chief. he has the barrel, has expressed his frustration with a situation where the one month after a cease fire was announced in a 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 t grey's, the deadliest war we complain rightly about what is happening in ukraine. but what is happening in ethiopia is really awful. the will stands from a long standing confrontation between the government and the authorities of the autonomous t gray region. a smart, a huge humanitarian crisis, which has left more than 5000000 people facing starvation. even though a ceasefire agreement has been in place since november. if their opinions have criticized a foreign policy, she hears that burrell accusing him of not doing enough to help. and the suffering 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 or come they are going back and fanning the conflict so that we go back to war and remain weeks

town. 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 war. i got rid of it. there was no telling that the west stopped conspiring against us in old times or to day let alone ethiopia. they don't want to see africa develop. this is a fact that they could have done a lot in the past to stop the war, but instead they come and start fanning the conflict by exaggerating things. instead, they should work on preventing future conflict. there people, fia, understood the conflict total, understand the conflict, led to v o posey, to what they open all the way certain powers understand or perceive their conflict into gray when it comes to the numbers. so for the casual ality, so he said in his to speak to that her from 602800000 people have been keyed to for so so for our forces and

d to gay forces are in the process of implementing that throws. it's obvious that hero can convey so they look in union would take her seriously ukraine done african countries. so we can rule that even aid has significantly decreased and not, not necessarily because of the conflict from 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, while releasing more than 13000 new papers on the infamous case president by the claims that further disclosures are being prevented by national security concerns. i agree, the 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'd outweighs the public interest in disclosure. 5 percent of the documents remain redacted. with a c, i a spokesperson 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 the 22nd at $963.00, thousands of tv shows, films, books and articles have explored the idea that his death was the result of an elaborate conspiracy. although none have produced conclusive proof fox news house, tucker carlson, st. washington's failure to release all the papers after all this time is a red flag. is there a but 9 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. f. 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 the u. s. mary lee harvey oswald, was arrested and charged with killing kennedy, but he denied the accusations and was himself assassinated before he could stand trial. well, conspiracy theorists still speculate about, hey wally pulled the trigger. we discussed the latest documents control the say with john kerry, i'll keep his hosts ortiz, the whistleblower shy, 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 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. beijing has lashed out at japan, accusing it of high thing up the chinese threats while stressing that claims that china is an unprecedented strategic challenge. a completely groundless to go out and 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 thread to find an excuse for its mil to rebuild up, is them to fail. this allegation comes amid a plan, the military spending spree by tokyo, that many see is violating his post world war 2 demilitarization policy. japan has adopted to $315000000000.00 military build a plant, bringing his armed force investment to the 3rd highest globally from minister

through mio. casita said 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 an unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force in the next 5 years. in order to fundamentally reinforce our defense capabilities. we will implemented 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. she. according to japan's constitution, after world war 2, the country for rather renounced war and the use of offensive weapons. since the end of the occupation of the country, the 1950s, the u. s. has pushed japan to revise this article of the constitution. encouraging

the island to upgrade its military capabilities. however, in a 2014 change of policy, the japanese government allowed them military to fight in support of allies under attack. now the long vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies, think tanks these, the world should pay close attention to japan as it builds up as military japan is using what they call a strategic challenge from china to increase its defense budget. and this is something that i think the rest of the world will all have to watch very closely because japan is not supposed to to do that under its cost to ship. and this is an obvious pushing of the envelope using something that it doesn't really make sense. it's not that china is going to respond. china should not be the only country that i respond to this happening. i think most of the countries or

other countries in the region in the, in asia, a just to have a clear memory of what happened during the 2nd world war and that they should all come up to, to respond to, to this upcoming incident. as always, they can find the latest news update on our website r t dot com. thank you for joining us here in our scenes, national bank in ah, what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is offensive, very dramatic development. only nationally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time time to sit down and talk

with, oh ah, victor boot the russian army dealer who had been incarcerated in one of the highest security penitentiaries in the united states for the last 12 years is now home with his family after being exchanged for american w. and b, a star, brittany griner. she had been imprisoned in russia after being convicted on drug

charges. in a handful of interviews, boot seems like a normal russian citizen, not somebody who has seen the worst of what the american prison system has to offer . today we'll talk about what the experience was like for him. i'm john kerry aku. and you're watching the whistleblowers. ah. when i was at the cia in the early part of the last decade, victor boot was one of the agencies top targets the cia, the f, b i and inner poll, searched for boot all over the world. they accused him of being in arms dealer and one of the most dangerous men on the planet. boot was finally found in thailand where he was arrested and extradited to the united states. after being convicted on a myriad of charges, he was sent to the notorious communications management unit at the u. s. penitentiary in marian illinois until the creation of the so called super max

prison at florence, colorado. marion was the toughest prison in america. some of the country's most dangerous and most high profile prisoners were kept there. and even then, the communications management unit, or c, m. u, was set up to keep the most dean juris, of the most dangerous prisoners, silent away from the press away from their friends. their family members and even their own attorneys. this is of course, ridiculous. the c amuse are used mainly to silence prisoners who are not at all dangerous. but they could be embarrassing to the federal bureau of prisons because they have access to the media. or because they know something that could embarrass the american government. we'll talk about these notorious c m. use with dina. got his felt the wife of cmu, prisoner, marty, got his felt. marty served some of his time in the same communications management unit as victor boot and with famed drone whistleblower daniel hale. why is marty in

prison? why does the u. s. government view him as a dangerous prisoner? it's because he initiated a computer denial of service attack on a hospital in boston after the hospital had forcibly taken a sick young girl from her parents and falsely accused them of abuse. the government's policy is incredible here. dana, welcome to the show you down to see you. thank you for having me. good to see you. dana dana, i've known you for a long time, and we've talked about marty's case many, many times, even given my familiarity with his case. i'm just still as shocked now as i was when i 1st learned that marty was in a c. m. u. and i'm baffled over the bureau of prisons decision to try and silence him and people like him. marty was just recently transferred from the c. m. u in marion back to the countries other cmu in terra haute, indiana.
