example, the democratic republic of congo, your money to collect around a 3rd was needed. and if you had just half of the money needed has been received, we spoke with a climates of iss from uganda. it says that africa climate change issues are being caused by the global north. the action or the global no overlap is tree and action and the out for king polluting industries was crazy because the, the heaviest and the point of view, most of the crisis africa needed competition. because africa is the most affected coordinates into wild when it comes to climate crisis and even the decisions made by that issue and the effect the african to in so much. so africa must be a pass to, especially by the global north by providing the news. and i made you find which they promised our people a suffering pupil. and we have our mother then to the west. got. i'd like to move

storms across the landscape of our point in it because this does displacing us every day. people are moving group for survival and they can find that was so the global news is heavily to blame for causing climate crisis fairs to stop. ah, well, in other news, at least 22 people have lost their lives in a nursing home fire in the central russian city of came out of a us according to the regions investigative committee through the victims were taken to hospital on our reported to be in a critical condition, the fire broke out at around 3 30 am local time and emergency services have since put out the place. preliminary findings just the fire may have been caused by a faulty boiler. the russian investigative committee has become a criminal investigation. a local journalist since this report from the scene. why is the oil behind me as a building burns, the ground pieces,

bless. you take us to disperse crowds as hundreds of members of the kurdish desperate gathered near the sites. the french interior ministers arrival at the scene only appeared to fund the flames. with demonstrates as during objects with offices lighting fires, undamaged ink near by vehicles. we heard from a local reporter. i could only follow the security forces have arrived. they are right behind me. the security forces are everywhere. the police are at every street . it's very dangerous here, the projectile. so for an all around that the police have thrown the stun grenade near me, but doesn't purpose is becoming very dangerous here. article that 69, your suspect has been detained in connection with the shooting. and prosecutors say that he did have a police record, as well as previous convictions for salt and possession of an illegal weapon. all the victims are reported to be members of the kurdish community. the authorities are investigating if the attack was racially motivated. a witness shared with those what peaceful do saw

to do. let's install a darcy with ukrainian people. but below the decision has not gone down well with everyone. dear melanie, i just italians to turn off lights in solidarity with ukraine to understand what corrupt ukrainian governments do. italian prime minister maloney calls on citizens to switch off gas electricity for one. now one day lean solidarity with ukraine. i want to make sure we understand it's known that e u has driven itself into a hole with the rush of sanctions and need to beat on us charity. it's solidarity. and why doesn't mrs. maloney suggest the citizens of italy go to paris and meet the 1st lady of ukraine, missus zalinski, who spent 40000 euros in boutiques and paris. in the same day. wonders of workers and pensioners gathered in rome on friday to protest against the maloney governments draft budget excuse me for 2023. arguing that it doesn't do enough to

help workers deal with the cost of living crisis, according to local media protests against the 2023 budget proposal were held in 11 regions across italy, causing transport disruption in major cities. maloney's government also faces resistance to it's continue support for key f with tens of thousands processing against arm shipments to the country in recent months. meanwhile, despite the public concerns over the continue to flow of cash to ukraine, italy's renewed a decree. this allows it to keep supplying arms, took care of in 2023, but without seeking formal approval from parliament for each you shipments italian defense minister guido cross seto, as admitted to that, the transfer of weapons to give will only stop when peace talks begin. dario revolt her who's a former politician in the bill of scone government says that europeans are paying the price as their governments simply do whatever the u. s. once people ha understood that the great part of the cost of their hire coastal energy

is a view to the willinger over european government to marry the american desire over stopping in boarding her oil and gas from russia. and no one wants to remind that why these war started, no one the among the politician of different parties, except that the idea that the war started to because a 3rd of the bar is it wanting to, it had to start. i think that every one of the standards of light went on, so he's only prolonging the war if he something of usa we, as you will be on the we are a black made by united states. this is a explaining why manny are gonna miss it. i will say, almost all european governments are accepting her, these at if you the, and they're continuous in sending rebels. ah,

europe needs to limits is dependence on washington and nato. that's according to the french president, manuel micron, who recently shed his view on the future of security in europe. europe needs to gain more autonomy on technology and defense capabilities, including from the u. s. and alliance isn't something i should depend on. it's something i should choose, something i work with. we must rethink our strategic autonomy, a stronger alliance, acton inside nato, with nature, but also not depending on nato, as cross live now to pierre and manuel torment, who's the president of the international association iraq continents, use donors from strasburg. thanks for joining us here at manuel. what do you make of these latest comments by the french president regarding nato's role in europe? the friendship ver, trying for a long time already since de gore are to promote a,

a european nurse strategic autonomy and her not to align themselves on the united states. and now are mr michael say to butter. there should be a europe and peter, we the ne, to under the same time, not depending too much on a to i think there is a huge contradiction. because as long as you are states and france in particular is promoting a european shortage, you got to know me weaving nato is not gonna be possible. peak of ne, 2 is mainly dominated by united states. and also countries like poor on bank states . don't want a european strategy, cotton army, and germany or so because there is a big rivalry between france and germany. we've in europe and project, or germany doesn't think the european project we've out of the primacy of nato. so versus a huge contradiction as if france would like to promote

a europe as strategic autonomy. it could be on the, on the busy. so, or, and nadia of the independent european nations outside natal. otherwise is not gonna work. what, what do you make about the timing of microns comments oversee is come during the, the, the war in ukraine, their calls for more unity in europe or more cohesion cancer. what they call the, the russian threats is obviously in the wake of zelinski. his visit to washington. um, is that an interesting time? isn't it? exactly. i think her parish, it doesn't want her. this conflict to be your under earn negotiations on control by omni or mr. zenning skill, mr. biden undone let or so other countries like a turkey or too early to position themselves as intermediaries or paris who like to position itself or so as a

a 100 broo girl would fall to natalie as long as france like of our european countries. herb gave weapons to ukraine via nuts and as brooker, obey your there should be much more independence. a neutral like hungary, for example, in jar or, or, and to be negotiating between no you quinn under russia, but also united states because this is a war promoted by a washington and a using ukraine as a proxy. so we out there to contradiction. you cannot be a broker and intermediary uns ending at the same time weapons to ukraine. because you, you choose to, to, to side. we've won party on the same time to build a independent european defense. we've nato because nate to is an instrument offer geopolitical object. if united states on the objective is to weaken a russia on cut links between western europe and on russia to,

to maintain american supremacy in europe, us about 2 contradictions. well, how do you think this, the future of european security would look? and according cit to micron, there was talk of traits in a european army at some point. yes, i'm actually, those are rivalry between new of france and germany to take the lead on european defense her but tour her of cool sir. g v. c. we cannot be reserved, we vote in negotiations of a, a, a larger european security architecture on vist must include russia, as long as russia will not. cedar are secure in this europe on nate to weed threaten russia because bis conflicting you. quinn is a result of constant enlargement of nato to end psycho russia. and as long as we don't stop and knowledgeable on ne, to on it, and following this decision to negotiate to new york and security arrangement,

russia included asa virginia got to go on to see pay teach on a busy. so for a quote, your pen of nations is going to be very difficult. we're to bring me on very nice, it's of it. so our next question in many ways you've already answered it. but according to friends of european should security should also include guarantees for russia in the future. i think many people in russia would probably say bit late for that now, isn't it? exactly, this is a, this is, are, are totally alicia. she made for russia to ask her to stop this, or nato enlargement policy, or to weaken or russia. and because, or as i say to nature, was instrumental united states to try to touch or links between russia and western europe and to maintain a supremacy in europe. so france, according to her gorgeous doctoring to promote its own approach. ern would like to

promote to europe and security interest, russia included, but problem ease. how to conveys a poland, back states, germans to do it. and i think we've been ne, to is going to be very, if you could, she should be outside natal being was no, ne, not cannot be reform. we said it might be difficult to convince germany and poland, but do you expect other european countries maybe to follow? you know, microns idea. we have seen some new leaders such as the present of croatia and publicly opposed the expansion of nate's audience. but he, he ponzio backing for this with in europe. yes. if you are, some countries were a quite too suspicious and critical of nato enlargement like hungary as well. oh, he tele or so. oh, oh, spain and some politicians. he, germany, also they did disagree. we'd be sporty, c, on or sore, many experts in france or so a,

the longer the conflict is going on, the more it to wheeler or damage or european security and interest. and i think you're the europeans shooting more in tipster independence from united states and nato and troy. we've equation of the readings between european leaders will think or re shoot for most security we russia included, or should promote id, but outside nate to working. well, we'll have to wait and see if that idea comes to be pure, a manuel torment experts in geo politics on presidents of the international association. you're a constant jonah's life from strasburg. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us today on microns new. i differ european security. thank you. have a good investment. that's how hillary clinton views ukraine. according to the statement that the former secretary of states made following president zelinski his address to the u. s congress no one is asking for

a blank check. i believe that to the ukrainians have proven that to they're a really good investment for the united states. they are not asking us to be there to fight to their ward. they're fighting at themselves. they're asking us and our allies for the means to not only defend themselves, but to actually win. oh, since the start to the war, the bided administration has directed nearly $50000000000.00 in aid to ukraine. the majority going towards weapons training and intelligence. that's quite a vast amounts of aid, especially when compared to other u. s. recipients. washington for example, gave afghanistan 10 times less in annual funding. and as despite a 20 year military involvement in the country, fox news host tucker carlson, the wonders what's behind the enormous amounts of money provided to ukraine from the u. s. this money, zalinski said is quote, an investment

o and investment. so what exactly are the terms of this investment other we're talking finance. when do we get our dividend checks was lost, he didn't specify that. in other words, the return on our investment in ukraine will be more pitches for more. c investments in ukraine. give me money so i can demand more money. that's what's the landscape promised us last night. the day after the landscape, congressional address, the u. s. states. senate, excuse me, approved an additional $45000000000.00 in a to care if the decision was made despite recent polls suggesting that the average american doesn't consider ukraine to be a top priority with inflation election issues and crime. been much more of a concern. what's the bottom ministration shows no sign of relenting and its support of ukraine. jealous and author, daniel lazar believes the u. s. is using ukraine's achieve its own foreign policy goals. hillary clinton is a very happy to have others do america dirty work board. doesn't matter. it doesn't

matter to her how many ukrainians die, how many ukrainian cities are devastated. as long as the u. s. gets what it wants, and that is essentially a heavily militarized, the nato wise, the ukraine, and a russia that is surrounded and militarily weakened and eventually leading to regime change in moscow. that's what america wants and, and it thinks that by, by finding a proxy war in the ukraine, that's what it will get. other allies will pay a price as well. i mean, germany is seeing it, industry gutted. europe is, is reeling economically and politically. so they will pay an enormous price to, but the only thing that the washington cares about is america's own fortunes. my

ah ah, it's very difficult to be a whistle blower, especially when thought goes into the decision. the stakes are very high, particularly when the national security is involved. in almost all such cases, the whistleblower faces the prospect of losing friends of having coworkers turn on him. and even though lots of relationships with family members, but add to that, the hostility from the f, b i, d, i a, and even the white house. it's one of the most daunting decisions any person could ever make. i'm john to reaku and you're watching the whistle blowers the. 2 2 2 2 2 2 welcome to the whistleblowers. i'm john carry out to. today we're going

to look at a u. s. national security whistleblower case that is ongoing as we speak. this is the case of steven friend an f. b. i. agent who recently blew the whistle on an increasingly politicized f. b i. for his trouble, the 12 year f, b i, veteran and member of the f. b. i's. special weapons and tactics team was stripped of his gun and his badge and escorted out of the building. let's start this story from the beginning. stephen friend did exactly as he was instructed to do when he made a complaint to the f b. i inspector general saying that the f b, i's leadership, has become increasingly politicized. he offered proof that the f, b, i's washington dc field office was exaggerating the threat of domestic terrorism, even calling parents who complained about educational curricula in their children's schools. potential terrorists. he argued that many of the f b i's targets were having their civil rights and civil liberties violated in the

specific incident that led to his whistle blowing. stephen friend was ordered to participate in a raid in daytona beach, florida, where the f b. i was going to arrest people who were alleged to have committed misdemeanors, minor crimes. he told his leaders that this violated f b i regulations and constituted an illegal use of force. he said that he had taken an oath to uphold the constitution, and that he would not participate in an ill legality. that was the end of his career. we are privileged today to have with us f b i whistleblower steven friend. steven, welcome to the show. thank you very much for having. we're very glad to have you. and i'd like to begin with something that your attorneys have said to the media in some quarters you've been wrongly painted as a right wing extremist. your attorneys have told the media that your whistle blowing is very simply not a partisan issue. you didn't vote for donald trump in 2020 elections instead.
