2:11 pm
applied to you. membership belgrade condemned the move and brussels to block it. the russian. i'm back to the to serbia a call suppose e u membership, but it was apparently sanctioned by brussels in advance. new machines, not all members of the european union recognized kosovo as an independent state. that means that e. u does not have a unified position and cannot achieve over all consensus when it comes to this issue. however, if we take any country in the balkans as an example, even the process of submitting the application for you membership and a public declaration of such intentions is always agreed at the very political top of the you in brussels. this is not something that is done by the balkan states themselves, like other candidates for your membership. but in this case, the european union does not allow any kind of independence. that is why we should not exclude the possibility, but rather we should actually assume that some kind of agreement was already in place beforehand. brussels has not objected to this and pristine air received
2:12 pm
permission to publicly formulate such a request today. ah, in paris protest is sick to this race, demanding changes in france, his energy policy, according to revise the country's relationship with russia. oh, you feel better. he will march through the center of power is holding sign, spoke lighting their discontent with a you leaders. i'm calling for peace as levity. squire, rocky sing energy prices are one cause of the public outweighed in of lead. the protest is demands, the current french president, emanuel mcclung be impeached a president of the patriots party. they picked up a situation in the country as a literal carnage, the depression hitting small businesses on the government, ignoring people's knees. no official comments have come from the french government while the patriots leader gave us his comment from the current situation. trucks. there's also a can i get there are still many battles to be fought. there are countries in the
2:13 pm
situation of economic collapse and our demands are very simple to withdraw from the single european electricity market in order to lower energy crisis. to save our bakeries, to save our artisans, to saber factories, and to end the anti russian sanctions, but do not serve to establish peace there. but bring misfortune here and also to invite the parliamentary opposition to shake things up a little. because today they have problems with us. washington has expressed increasing worries about the developing partnership between russia and iran. the cia chief say he's wary of moscow on to ron, extending their reach across the middle east. historically, there's a lot of mistrust between russians and iranians, but they need each other right now. currently, the united states is witnessing the emergence of the 1st stage of co operation between the 2 countries. they are already influencing the course of events in ukraine, and if they strengthen such relations can dangerously affect the situation in the
2:14 pm
middle east. and while the u. s. is again, flipping other countries influence the middle east. washington itself has a long history of meddling in the region. the invasion of iraq, us fact toppling of libya's government and the american support levels in syria. just a few recent examples. as now discussed this with the university of to run professor science behind the door on the way. thanks for joining us on the program. i'd like to know your take on the statement from the cia chief and what do you make of the timing? it just shows that the united states and nato are on the losing end of this global struggle. i see ukraine as a part of a much larger conflict between the west and the non western world. the global south wants a multi owner or they no longer will holler 8 the world being under the control of western regime for hundreds of years. these regimes have suppressed the
2:15 pm
rest of the world. the colonized the rest of the world. and that must come to an end. and the fact that the iranians and the russians are cooperating together, pushes this struggle forward. and i think that that is just simply making the americans more angry, but their anger should really be directed towards themselves because they're the ones who, through multiple wars through conflict, conflicts multiple, it's across the globe. and through economic mismanagement and liberalism, they're the ones who destroyed their empire a fear of claim they want to uphold international law and maintain a level playing field in politics. so why would washington be so scared of having to deal with russia and to ron, influencing the middle east, the united states wants to keep the current world order and tack,
2:16 pm
and that's what they mean by international law. they mean a world order where they dominate, where they control, and where they're european vassal and their proxies across the globe and their client regime, they controlled this empire. but the fact is that this empire is probably the united states has basically brought this misery upon itself. and more importantly, in the war in ukraine they've, they're destroying europe and the europeans know it. european leads, know it. so again, they have no place to go. they cannot blame russia or he, ron, or anyone else for this state of affairs. it's only natural that iran is going to tilt towards russia than towards europe after all, the historical injustices towards iran towards afghanistan, syria, venezuela, cuba, nicaragua, yemen, libya, and the list goes on. and then, of course,
2:17 pm
nato provocations their advancement eastwards in europe without any real need to do so. and to lying to the russians after they promised them not to teach horse, then the crew and ukraine, and then supporting new nazis in ukraine to suppress the russian speaking population. they have no legitimate ground to stand on and to complain to you, run about it's close relationship with russia at any level. i think i think there's some, and some of these people in these middle eastern countries would prefer to keep the know, and that is continue dealing with the usaa. we for something that russia and to run could offer them. instead, my understanding is that a cost, the global south, people are tired of western imperialism, western neo colonialism and western domination. and that includes west asia and
2:18 pm
north africa. now, there are those dest spots and dictatorships that are close to the united states, and linked to the united states and the europeans. but the populations across the region and beyond are sick and tired of what we've had to go to. the people have seen what the americans and europeans have done, whether it's true dirty wars, whether it's true sanctions directed at ordinary people and whether it is true military cause itself these, these countries, the people across the world in the, in the global south. they want this empire to decline. so while you may see formal support for the wes in some order, but even in those governments behind the scenes, they would like to see the united states. one of these,
2:19 pm
many of them would like to see the united states and nato get a bloody nose. while the u. s. and his allies, i accuse a ron as applying joins to russia. these native countries themselves that already pumps ukraine, full of happy weapons and including driving. so how does that western criticism look, considering their own track record? i don't think that the europeans and americans have anything to complain about. i survive to chemical attacks during the iran, iraq war, many iranians and iranian, and iraqis did it. those chemical weapons were supplied to saddam hussein by nato countries, by germany, by other european countries and the united states, the weapons, the military intelligence to use them, the political got cover to get away with it. and that's just one case. that's just one instance of what the united states has done to iranians. they imposed maximum pressure of sanctions against ordinary rights and make people suffer and die so
2:20 pm
that they can get their way and then be violated the same deal that was supposed to end those sanctions and then they for, for up the deal. so i personally believe that the iranians have every right to, to take the position that they take. i have no idea. i'm not privy to the relationship between iran and russia to the extent of the relationship. but iran and russia have similar interest. their military cooperation goes back 30 years since the collapse of the soviet union. the military operation began. and this is nothing new. and if the west wants, once russia and you want to behave differently than they should 1st behave and it's completely different manner towards russia and iran, university off to run professor science mohammed mirandi many thanks for your time . appreciate it. the russian foreign ministry has called them all day,
2:21 pm
the government's decision to ban 6. the russian language tv channels are cracked down on free speech. we can see that this 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. we also qualify it as a cynical infringement of the rights of national minorities. would demand international gonna stations to give an adequate assessment of what happens and take all appropriate measures to correct decent acceptable situation? officials claim the media outlets ought to be shut down due to what they call the threat of pro russian views being broadcast across moldova. the officials of the channels coverage of the ukraine conflict is inappropriate. one local journalist was even blocked on facebook, off describing high frustration of the decision in
2:22 pm
a post. here's how she responded to the media about camecia, but she was return. they said to i see the emergency situations commission has been the broadcasting of 6 channels in the republic of moldova. i consider this to be in lawlessness. it's pure dictatorship and our country. and yeah, unfortunately this is happening to day when the republic is fighting for development in democracy. this has all been trampled by our government, the sub will, to florida. whatever's parliament is also mulling over a bill and a scaling back the countries of soviet era, legacy as lawmakers and now seeking to rename the nation's official language from moldova to romanian when he pro western politicians there have been pushing for the move ever since moldova declared independence from the u. s. s. r. and 1991. it comes amid ongoing protests against president myers sandy and her government handling of the country's economy. marches have been organized by main opposition. figures on the owners of the bands channels demonstrate to say they what their country has thought to stop backing with in sanctions against moscow,
2:23 pm
which have already led to spiraling inflation and an energy crisis. another journalist who's channel faces the bank says the government is crossing red line. yes, good, interesting is lawana in simple words. what happened is what we're feared the most and hoped until the last that it would not happen because there are certain red lies that no one has ever crossed, no matter what regime is in power. in moldova, 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. sorry, by what about freedom of speech? what about european democratic norms? what about the very pluralism of opinions that they talked about during the election campaign? that we all remember how the current leaders recently spoke in russian and you and their election campaigns. and the fact that they are now in power suggested the russian speaking population of moldova believed them. washington has wrapped up its
2:24 pm
1st summit with african leaders in 8. yes. and despite the event officially being focused on addressing issues affecting africa, washington insisted on bringing russia into the equation. it's very powerful because you hear countries that are, we're here in washington this week. gonna kenya. so many others that have been the victims of imperialism in the past. and who see that now happening to ukraine by russia. during the 3 day summit, the us to glad the importance of africa are in solving global problems and a bit to compete with africa as other partners. china and russia. washington is already calling sales with $15000000000.00 and voice support for the african union . for g 20 membership, the us secretary of defense also tried to accuse russia in china, the stabilizing activities in africa. beijing responded by urging washington to stop using africa as an arena for power games. however,
2:25 pm
not all african countries were allowed to attend the u. s. hosted summit guinea sudan over tre. molly and bettina also didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union because they lack diplomatic ties with the you, with respect to a number of people from those countries who shed their opinions about us intentions in africa was a lot in france. and the usa rejected in africa. it's due to their politics. this initiative is a way to preserve their image in africa, all wishes to have a trusted partner who is on it to bring good ideas in the right equipment to help us to fight this phenomenon on our territory. it's an opportunity for joe biden to bring the u. s. 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. and i believe the u. s. is targeting europe in place in africa. don't carry out
2:26 pm
a host of ortiz, the whistleblowers say the us have another reason for not inviting both countries to the summit, 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 of 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,
2:27 pm
or any of the other of this a hell countries needs year. 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 before we go, congratulations to football that well champions argentina his team has now taken the golden cup from france softer, beating them in a very tense and emotional final and cat which ended in a penalty shootout and we saw that tina's spirit, world cup ties with our previous, when back in 1986, the count didn't start. the team, atlanta messy, has finally gotten the only choice he had been missing his entire career as he joins argentinian football legends, diego merit donna in the hall of fame. france hunt was denied the chance to become
