a fix, you know, which level to ship book. i mean, you're still brand new. it was done when it was a wish of us national susan, a crack of thunder for sugars, freedom blue ah, the e u. parliament, scandal known as cat tar gate shifts its focus to morocco. senior european law makers are accused of taking bribes late to the north african country a late document claims nate, so could recently have triggered a world war that states their lines supplied p in sell to ukraine for an attack on

russian strategic forces. we have led when we, 1st of all from there definitely are people involved to leave things who are claimed that something happened to trigger an escalation where, where russia would make some sort of a rash move ahead on the us. so next, previous criticism of beijing is locked on policy, that expresses hope that china will get its scope a situation under control. and demonstrators improve call for international support to prevent further police violence. how many countries newly installed secret services chief safety protesters are terrorists? we are coming out for a job

with live for moscow. this is our team. my name is unit o'neill. on 30 minutes of news i'm use start there's been a new development in the so called get tar gate scandal that shaken up the european parliament. some lawmakers are now accused of taking bribes. linked to morocco, rti contributor rachel marston. she's been following the story for us. it's really not the best look for the european union when the same officials who are so keen to lecture every one else about democracy and transparency. now find themselves with a big mass right under their own roof at the european parliament when the scandal broke. earlier this month and belgian authorities rolled up suitcases full of cash at homes and hotels associated with european officials. all eyes were focused on cutters, alleged involvement in the shady lobbying practices associated with the scandal.

particularly since the football world cup was on and cutter was the whole country and had already faced controversy over how it may have been awarded those games. but now morocco has been dragged into this fiasco as well. thanks in part to an alleged confession by former european parliament vice president eva chi lee, whom the you part of it recently stripped of her role in title, internal investigation. documents obtained by the press suggest that kylie had dealings with former italian, your a deputy pier antonio pans erie whom investigators alleged to have received cache from both cover and morocco. and who just happens to be the founder and president of a think tank called fight. impunity, she had prior knowledge of her husband's dealings with mister pan's airy and that suitcases full of cash had been moved through her apartment. when it comes to transparency of its dealings with foreign countries, the european parliament apparently draws the line at morocco and voted against,

including it with cutter in resolution, demanding more transparency and accountability. here's the amendment to the resolution that euro deputies ultimately rejected. expresses deep concern about the allegations that morocco has also attempted to influence members, former members and staff of the european parliament through acts of corruption calls for the application of measures in line with those applied to the representatives of katara interests while investigations are ongoing. so i didn't parliamentarians shy away from having a good look at exactly how they've been dealing with morocco. perhaps they're worried about what anyone poking in to that particular dark corner might finds maybe a lot of cockroaches or rats scurrying around. particularly if questions star get he asked about various parliamentary friendship groups or the role of antonio's like pans. aries in, acting as intermediaries or middle men of sorts under the guise of intellectual and

academic respectability. it is long been an open secret that think tanks in the western world routinely served to launder foreign lobbying interests in the us. they've even gone so far as to bundle and donate foreign cash to candidates to public office. former you foreign policy, chief federico maurine sat on the honorary board of fans. aries, fight impunity. angio. right up until the scandal broke. here's maurine telling you . crane how to fight corruption way back in 2015. we have primarily focused on the need for conduct of the anti corruption reform, which is the key factor to allow the international partners to trust in ukraine and as if that wasn't enough. here maurine is again, 2 years later, underscoring the importance of solid ethical guardrails. for ukraine, the anti corruption institutions, as we discussed and as we agreed,

must be allowed to do their work independently, with enough powers and resources to investigate, prosecute, and eventually ensure the conviction of those responsible for corruption. while it looks like ukraine is well taken care of, and they think they might be up to that she it, it's so how many board members like maurine of think tanks like pans aries, fight impunity in the you have bothered to take a good look under the hood of those and yos, and insist on the same kind of accountability, transparency and good practices that the e u. demands of other countries. apparently, that doesn't even exist at the european parliament yet as the scandal is proving european commission. president ursula vander line just recently announced after this whole scandal broke, that she'll get right on that now though. probably right after lecturing the rest of the world, few more times on the greatness of european values. we heard from

a spanish law professor says it's no secret up. morocco has been lobbying, you lawmakers to get wider fishing rights. the nation western sahara has not only course a task of political jabari to co, meaning, but it has also an economy, meaning the worst since sahara. now is the soles over huge benefits for the kingdom of moral? no, how's meaner? a non governmental organization called western sahara russell's watch. the task calculated the amount of the money dut morocco receives exporting the phosphates from western sahara and old. so we know that money them, the european union gives to morocco to get

a loud fishing in the occupied war. those western sahara morocco exports mainly to the european union not only but mainly at we're going union. this is just a one issue. we're really know exactly done that this corrupt corruption and the european union level. and actually, as i said concerning them most of the european parliament, this is not the secret that and morocco has been lumping them. ah, another story to bring you to day while nato officials have said they don't want a direct conflict with russia recently lead documents purportedly from ukrainian intelligence claims up the block has been providing key information to kiev forces for a tax on russian military facilities that document recently obtained by

a hacker, reportedly on published on social media, contains detailed information about russian military hardware and locations. for example, it's safe to rush in the strategic bombers where, based in the angles or field in western russia, ukraine is believed have used that intelligence in recent weeks to conduct a drone attack on the same side. there also claims that ukraine sought to destroy russian strategic palmers in the resin and sovereign off regions. those drones were shut down, but 3 russian soldiers were reported killed and another 4 wounded with 2 our craft damaged. the drones are suspected to have been made by an american company. russian protocol dictates that such attacks could have been grounds for a nuclear response. moscow allows the use of atomic weapons in retaliation for an offensive that disrupt its strategic military capabilities. the alleged ukrainian

chrome strike on the russian nuclear capable bombers could have triggered such a reaction. while the leaked document reported the parent locations of hundreds of russian military bakers, let's go through that. that includes planes or defense systems at tanks. one for every day of the year, by the way, and rocket motors, all those, both in the conflict zone and deep within russia at story here as well. warships i forgot in the black sea there, spoken about too well we heard from former virginia states and very dick black, who said that nato has become increasing the aggressive i think that there definitely are people involved in these things who are hoping that the something that happened to trigger an escalation where were russia would make some sort of a rash move. and fortunately so far as president posen has been a very cool come hand. who has, you know, he's been,

it's been very rational and delivered in his, in his actions, which is a very good giant because, you know, we're, we're so much closer to world war 3 than europe was in 1914 with the 1st world war. i was a part of nato, back in the eighty's when we, it was nato versus the soviet union. nato was a defensive alliance at that time. but when the, when the, the wall fell one, when the soviet union dissolved, the nato did not dissolve the worse. all packed dissolved. but nato remained is very robust force and it became a force of aggression. instead of being a defensive alliance, suddenly started to move steadily eastward and,

and it could only do this by creating an illusion that the russian federation was sort of identical to the old soviet union. but in many ways it's, it's exactly opposite to what the soviet union was. so, ah, so nato has become a very dangerous organization. there are people who are trying to trigger some sort of response from russia that would begin to escalate and involve all of nato in in combat. right, let's turn attention on the program to don boss where a fierce battle is helping raging along the front lines. the private military company, the wagner group, a major fighting force in the region, has been facing off against ukrainian troops for control of the strategically important city of archer. last ukraine's government sees the presidency. lensky recently visited the impossible city to meet with military officials and hand out

awards on the other side of the bottle, bronze the head of the wagner group, propose that meeting with you printing liter. you'll see that i was sitting in the headquarters and they told me that the lensky had just arrived. our guys are going to fire gunshots and morse code. if he pays attention, we could meet anytime i was mighty young. we've just shot in morse code to say, gears the lensky, we're nearby and we're ready to discuss the issues that you're going to after president zalinski reportedly took to the front lines, the u. s. a's. he's now headed to washington to meet with joe by the u. s recently unveiled a $1.00 trillion dollar government spending package, including $45000000000.00 for ukraine media report say the legal aid will include

patriot missile assistance on precision phones or your key officials said washington was not objecting to the use of american weaponry in an offensive on crimea big issue as well. we heard from former united nations weapons inspector, scott ritter, who believes biden once zalinski to help pressure congress and providing even more military support. some members of congress indicated they might be opposing this. you're talking about accountability and things of that nature. how do we know this is going where it needs to go, etc? by having zelinski on hand. joe biden will be playing some political cards, putting pressure on. ready cars to pass this legislation without further questions, without asking the inconvenient question, such as what happens to american weapons once they make it to your brain? what happens to american money once it goes into a crate? how do we know us?

taxpayer money is being used to, you know, to, to, to good results. because if, if, if these questions were answered, people might not be so willing to provide the money. so zalinski is coming here, you know, is a, is a major political pressure weapon for the president on congress to guarantee that this package is best. and while the ukrainian president is on his way to washington, the deputy chairman of russia's national security council, former president dmitri med viet is in beijing where he's met with chinese leader, she's in pain. they have hardly discuss by law relations, particularly the country strategic and economic partnerships. after the meetings, the chinese president said his nation was ready to strengthen its robust tides with russia and pursuits of what he calls a fairer, multi polar world order. he added that his country hopes that restraints will be

maintained by all parties in the cleaning crisis. according to chinese media distributive also 100, a letter to the chinese president from vladimir putin will keep you updated as we hear more on the history of the u. s. face china's corona virus death tool is a global concern because of its potential impact on economic stability. washington health expressed hopes that china can get it covered situation under control. and despite its earlier criticism of beijing locked down policies, the toll of demiris is of concern to the well given the size of china's p given the size of china's economy. it's not only good for china to be in a stronger position visa because it, but it's good for the rest of the worlds as well. we,

the united states continues to be a leading force for countries around the world, and the provision of vaccines and helping countries overcome the phase of the virus. we certainly hope that will be the case of the long in the see as well. ned price the spokesperson for the us state department. and he was criticizing shina and talking about how at this point they hope china gets their numbers in order because the impact that coven rising in china could have on the global economy. and people are noting the irony of what's been set as his boss, the head of the us state department, us secretary of state anthony blank and was just recently calling for 0 coded policies in china to be listed and calling for the release of protesters. let's review what's been said by us officials. china has to figure out a way forward on dealing with what's covered away for that answers the,

the health needs, but also answers the needs of people. i think we're seeing the chinese people speak up for more freedom against the code lockdown policies. i support that the lockdown is not a policy that we're going to support here. so when china had stringent anti coven policies that was declared to be repression. we have the u. s. government speaking out of gas did describing china as the repair. and now that those restrictions have been lifted and cold in cases in china are rising. we have china once again being can down. now the claims and the condemnation, china from us officials are laced in hypocrisy. one will know that the united states leads the world in terms of coven related deaths. whereas china, despite having the world largest population, is 98 in the world in terms of cobra, death. so nowhere near the united states in the number of colbert related gas. so it's quite,

quite hit to critical for us officials to be criticizing china recovered related gas. i'm talking about it, but this all fits a pattern without the united states covers china, no matter what china does. china is condemned when kobe 0 coded policies were put in effect, they were described as brutally authoritarian. and then when those coded policies were lifted, we heard that this was a sign that president, she's in pain, was weak guy. and that this was, that was a sign and he was giving in and didn't have authority and power that no matter what the u. s. media and the u. s. politicians look for any excuse to condemn china and can damage policies and portrayed in a negative light. and this latest statement, this latest flip of the script, if you want to call it, that is just a really blatant example of how hypocritical and nonsensical us narratives are the usa does not like a particular government, no matter what they do, they find a way to spin it in a negative way, it's being discovered the new head of peruse,

national intelligence agency, reportedly has links to a previous or authoritarian regime in the south american country, including a convicted death squad organizer. the security chief had said mass protests, which bring the nation, are essentially a terrorist insurrection. if you want to address the events that are seen as a social conflict, we are in total error here. there are no social conflicts in each place where the police and the armed forces are attacked. there is a political objective and that is called a terrorist insurgence. for more than 20 people have been reported to kill recently as muff demonstrations turn violent and clashes with police broke. and protesters helping, calling for the newly installed president to resign. the previous incumbent was taken into custody following his attempt to dissolve parliament. and essentially lead by decree,

approved government has made some concessions to the protesters including saying that fresh elections will be held ahead of schedule. a local activists centers this report from the streets of lead. right now said only facing a very of emergency. we have a military civic government right now by the nova, you updated that in alliance with the armed forces. i believe a counted 28th of protesters and demonstrators across the country where we are having human rights . i. we try the tensions very violent detention in the math, but mostly in the provinces of our country. right now there's a calling from national, right? we are for national solidarity. we are very afraid there's gonna be more that will

be more like violations. i obviously people across the country has this date of emergency, give them a young people and even children, so please leave them all over the world for the home. i'm not in america, north america. we are coming out for a while. we do not want any more people are having us human rights violations. both children with turning attention to west africa were 6 civilians. i'll at least 2 soldiers helping reported killed

in a series of attacks in per keno fast. so we got the thought of a local reporter from like a to here. it is solo though 330 kilometers long ways of looking at possible out of government control for 3 months now is back to the country. will see that waving again on the public administration office, the military operation called the rail hell, which means in local language to recover your belongings. village is the what are the motel yell and we got their freedom from the public administration. and basically we see about to get to call years on the gown, the new stuff g major quote, as debbie talbert. it was in the last weekend too late. the good job of your boy

a victory? well, some bible can i be here in work. i do, it's a full operation in which around 40 said already will kill and one for the army sites. we phones and an important quantity of logistics of calories where before are seen by the item before the good news of the facts. one thing is to keep out. the other thing is to keep the area under control of government. or if there is a love to do to come to the goal, we want it for me, it's clear that the army is moving forward with more power because this is the 1st time since 2015, that a territory is recovered and officially announced by our authorities i think that morally, this is good for the people of burkina faso life and not as we can see. interim leader ibrahim trial ray is committed. he is giving his all to convince people who

think this is not true, that it's their imagination. you can't force someone to believe in what he doesn't believe in, but those who are on the ground eye witnesses, they see what's happening in law. arti has spoken with burkina. faso was in trim, prime minister. he says national security remains a top priority on the country welcomes increase partnership with moscow. escape. what are your priorities now? is it perhaps in the secure to sector? we son good. yes, definitely. currently, security is a priority and burkina faso and we talked about it, but in addition to the security sphere, we discussed other areas as well because the problem of security is complex with many parts. we hope that starting from now we will begin to resolve it apart from that, it's necessary that our relations develop because we're all interested in winning as close. do you think russia could become an ally for broken f a? so in the fight against, to had his we for swims with, i guess, and we would like it, we would like russia become our ally here, as well as all our partners. and we know that russia's a great power and

a frushell wants to can help us in this area. the u. s. has admitted to committing cyber attacks on foreign powers during the mid term elections. washington's justified the move by saying those targets could have interfered in the votes unless the u. s. is that then we did conduct operations persistently to make sure that our foreign adversaries couldn't utilize infrastructure to impact us. we understood how foreign adversaries utilize infrastructure throughout the world. we had that mapped pretty well, and we wanted to make sure that we took it down at key times. this is the idea of understanding your foreign adversaries and operating outside the united states. the u. s. has been accusing russia and a run of meddling in its elections for many years. but in the recent mid term vote, a senior, a u. s. security official said there was surprisingly a luck of foreign interference. he said that russia on iran were supposedly not

focused on the u. s. they were too preoccupied by b crane conflict. on a wave of protests in the islamic republic were former c. i a analyst, the ants r t program host junk harry alco. say's washington uses claims a foreign meddling to brush off more pressing, domestic concert. there's literally no evidence that any one has found of russian or any other foreign interference in american elections. the mother investigation outlined in the mala report found, for example, that there was no foreign interference. specifically no russian interference in the 2016 election. there wasn't even an accusation of foreign election interference in 2020. and then we geared up for some sort of interference in the mid term elections this year. in 2022, the cia named jeffrey wickman as the intelligence community's director of this

effort to rude out foreign interference. and there was none. this is, this is like the dirty little secret now, of american politics is that we blame all of our problems electrically on foreign powers, specifically on russia. and there's nothing to back it up loud. forced to sleep. his white supremacist after they discovered he was the story of john daly is like something out of hollywood thriller. but it's real. i'm. it's total next year on our escape from 18 gets going in with peace and ukraine seems essentially impossible. and there was a reason for this. nato wants russia to be completely defeated. russia, in turn, demands new pay, european security structures, protecting interest. as long as nato exists,

there will be no peace for security for anyone. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe? isolation, community. are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, there was

a place in ocala, florida because baseball which was a pool hall, but also places we hung out a lot. the owner thought it was sort of is a type of security. and one night there was someone that showed up that he really did not like. and he wanted us to make the guy, li, i used to wear these reins, thinking that if i, i'm somebody was going to cost more pain and it did every time his kind face. he would scream, every had me hitting him, did to spend my fitting, and one day broke his hand punching so hard. some of the harder and harder and harder and eventually got loose. one shoe came off the joe took in his wisdom across the parking lot. and as soon as we got about on the ground, i walked over to the guy kick, basically kinda soft at 1st. i remember the guy cried out, mom and mom. i just thought for one second when i was doing really brief kicks. and if you look.
