ah, ah, with the headlines are naughty international, another ukrainian politician gets called red handed with a fake news story. she posed an old photo of an irish boy flaming. he's a tall victim of the conflict with 20000000 children are at risk of hunger. the unsteadily infections in africa, that's the latest from unit we heard from that regional director. fortunately, i'm going to to 6, failed to reigning season, making the situation even worse. and we really need to prepare for the worst case scenario. plus in the appropriate pharmaceutical companies,

off the gambia claims and indian made cough syrup pills at least 60 children which new delhi dinner with a very welcome mrs. auntie international with the very latest world news update is great to have you with us. now social media uses have debunk. she has another fake news story from ukraine, posted online by a local lawmaker who tried to pass off an old photo of an irish boy as a child victim of the conflict in ukraine. the saddest part there are no children in ukraine any more. only little humans with very grown up, eyes old to even somewhat tired of a life yet. and lived pictured mark 8 years old just survived a russia artillery attack. readers added context,

they thought people might want to know. this image predates the conflict in the ukraine and it p as on a novel published in 2013 the ukrainian m p. that posted this photo on the 1st co in the 1st place, straight up, lied about it. i mean, she said that there was an 8 year old boy there that survived some sort of russian artillery attack. when in reality this kid was an irish orphan. this was a picture that was taken from the cover of a book, a 2013 spanish translation of the miss, remembered man. so while you definitely shouldn't a judge, a book by its cover, you most certainly should not take what ukrainian officials are saying at face value about this kind of stuff. the photo is lifted from a 2013 book by christie mckenna, more broadly, it is true that the crimes of nazi regimes bring disaster on their own children. do ukrainian officials and pundents no nails for vass image such as to keep posting such fakes. the tweets glaring and accuracy didn't stop it from getting widespread distribution though i mean, after all,

the ukrainian m p that tweeted it has over 330000 followers on twitter and the u. n's head of global communications even responded to it with a broken heart that despite the fact that her account said that all the information there is verified and based in science, i mean this time it clearly wasn't. so it makes you wonder, just how often were being duped here. well, i don't know, could this not have just been an honest mistake by this particular me? well, i mean, we have actually been seeing this pretty consistently, children being used in the western media and by ukrainian officials to manipulate people's emotions, to change their opinions on the ukraine conflict through bought through that way. and we actually made earlier this month, a report covering all these stories, just how many of them are either fake or actually the fault of the ukrainian military with

doesn't stop there either. earlier this year we saw another ukrainian m p, or a ukranian official, rather post a picture of a drawing of a girl on twitter who apparently was from ukraine and she had cut her hair to protect herself from being raped by russian troops. so the story goes, except we saw no evidence come with this story, and the drawing was essentially a copy and paste a job from an actual photo of a girl who died an al switzer. now, we've seen a lot of these sakes going around the internet, but just to give you an idea of the sheer scale of this fake information war, we can look at an australian report that was published about twitter activity towards the earlier days and weeks of russia's special military operation,

it said that over 80 percent of tweets from that time were part of a covert propaganda operation. and over 90 percent of the accounts that were making these tweets were pro ukrainian. we found out between 60 and 80 percent of tweets using the hash tags we studied, came from bought accounts during the 1st 2 weeks of the war. we found that 90.16 percent of accounts fell into the pro ukraine category, while only 6.8 percent fell into the pro russia category. i think it goes without saying that in our day and age, the information war effort is just as important to as that of the conventional war . and no doubt social media platforms play a central role in that. one of the major problems is that often these myths are debunked. long after this faith content has already made its way across the internet. the number of children suffering due to an extreme drought across ethiopia, kenya, and somalia has more than doubled in 5 months now. according to the un children's

fund unicef, more than $20000000.00 children are at risk of hunger, thirst, and steady infections in africa. well, collective an accelerated efforts have mitigated some of the worst impact of what had been feared. children in the horn of africa, i still facing the most severe drought in more than 2 generations. according to unicef, at least 2000000 children in ethiopia, kenya, and somalia will need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition. for 24000000 people face water shortages, while children across africa face labor exploitation, gender based violence on sexual harassment. liquor, van de ville, unicef, deputy regional director of the eastern and southern africa say that the situation is deteriorating amid the shortage of phones. we have our colleagues all across the 3 countries, seeing a tremendous deterioration of the situation of the children in these countries that

are affected by draft. and unfortunately, we are going to the 6 field rating season making the situation even worse. and we really need to prepare for the worst case scenario. so less rain is again, less walter, less livelihoods, and increase the acute malnutrition disease outbreak. and of course, food insecurity across those 3 countries that are really affected severely by the drought. actually, the youngest, really are at risk for its severe malnutrition and for us to really help them, there's only one particular intervention that is really required, which is ready to use the republic feeding. and if children are molnar race, the risk is march. how your, if they catch me so that they would actually pass away. so there's not only uni

said, we have a un family that is looking for money. everybody has their own mandate and they need to find a funding together in the horn. it is not an easy environment to raise funds, especially because the funds that we need are constantly increasing and they. * also increasing not only because of the number of children that are affected, but also because of some of the inflation and the price increase that we see across the world. so we, we also need to deal with those those challenges at the same time to india. now where drug factories across the country are under investigation by the pharmaceuticals regulates, and that's off the gambia claim. there was a link between children's deaths and an indian made cough syrup new delhi safe. the medicine was not to blame ortiz, india correspondent when jan sharma has more. firstly,

india is recognized in the world as the pharmacy off the wall. and now these reports, 1st from gambia, and now from baker, san assure, are denting in the pharmaceutical industry. in fact, let me also point out here that in the last decade or so of the exports as far as pharmaceuticals and concerned they've more than doubled or so. and essentially what happened in october, the world health organization linked the depth of around $66.00 children with indian made golf syrups, quote, unquote, contaminated indian mean golf throughout san, essentially, very recently on the 13th of december, the drug regulator of india wrote to the world health organization, seeing that samples from all of these pharmaceuticals were collected and all of these pharmaceutical samples that were collected. in fact, they were tested in a government lab and all the samples for found,

sees and also complying with quality specifications. essentially said that the world health organization made a very premature sort of link between the deaths of children in gambia to these costs. sort of that was applied for india. also they said that they were only supplied in west part of africa. having said that, india is conducting searches, india is conducting inspections, country wide across the country. do you have a need by the drug regulator, all the india and the own sexing pharmaceuticals company both big and small, in a sense to assure the world that india does care about processes safety. it's notable compromise the form that iranian president abraham raised the how the keys foreign bag forces of sparking unrest in the country as as u. s. companies space ex has completed its deploy of communication satellites over

the islamic republic. space x has had a long musk tweeted, approaching 100 star links active in iran. the soft line face broad band could provide a radiance with internet access to circumvent government restrictions. in september, the u. s. government also announced that we'd be taking actions to advance the internet. freedom, access to digital communications in the country for the time being wrong, has implemented restrictions on internet access and made protests box by the death of mass. meaning, official state limitations were imposed to count the activities on the mining national security. political analyst. how may i read that? go along with that? it said solid collectivity in iran is just another way. the u. s. and meddling the wrong domestic effect. we can see, consider it as true is nothing but in their intervention into the mystic efforts you want. but the point is that we can be sure that it has happened. there is no

report in the inside you are on that they have actually activated the lease and it is working operationally here in iran. and it seems more to be a dragon on we can do something as a form of 4 by gander to support the process intended working. right. not hearing you on and and everything is on most know, month year immunizations on the something you can and that they can be avoided. the interconnection already cannot reach and there was out there. so there is no need extra for that. and we know that this is something that we supported by american government and they have actually said or clearly said that they are giving exceptions regarding sanctions, the following 10. and so why do we was nothing but

in 2022 drawers to close the people across the globe, looking ahead to a hopefully more positive year following a very nerve wracking 12 months. so protests, military, conflicts on the resurgent pandemic, committed deepening economic crisis. let's get some perspective now as we some of the outgoing gay while gazing into the next one with our guest. this our legal and media analyst line a full pentagon security policy analysts, micro maloof and crypto currency expert chris, and many thanks to all of you for joining us on the program this evening. it's lovely to see all of your faces now. what a year. it's been and you know, gentlemen, hope springs eternal and we all expect the best of course. but should we also face the reality that more hard times lie ahead. let's start with line. no, shall we line according to a new poll, 73 percent of people worldwide. say it's been

a bad year for their respective countries. do you think it's really been such a negative year and how are things looking any better for the incoming year? i think that's optimistic. i think it's horrible. i think things are to put it this way. i'm not being a pessimist, no pessimist is somebody who is irrationally negative. who is just always dower, when there is no need to be just when i think i have figured that the human race has somehow exhausted, every possible means of destroying itself or its cultural reads. and or it sanity, i am disappointed because there's a new way. no, i think things are going to be much worse. and, but the only thing that will help most people is the diluted effect of the social media platforms which allow people to recess and to revert from reality and go into la la land and take pictures of their food. while society collapses.

i coming to michael and michael is famous, the astrologer nostradamus, he made many interesting and unusual prophecies, as we know, he said, to predict the 3rd world war being on the horizon next year was he'll take on that and doesn't look like tensions between some of the worlds and major powers are reaching that critical points. yeah, i think my origin, a crescendo to that point. i see the possibility of potentially for a forefront war facing the united states, especially because it's out there. what's it says gemini, stirring all of this up has created the mess and in 2022. and i think it's, it just doesn't know how to help itself. and it's going to continue on that app. and it's going to create even greater tensions in 2023. and i agree with lionel oh

heartedly it's, it's, we gotta keep our powder drive. we gotta, we gotta be watchful and any think. and there can be something out of nowhere that could absolutely cause a catastrophic event and a cascading event that could lead to, to this war front war that i just mentioned. and they stem from the middle east to the, to into in the pacific to of course, europe, europe could see in a 2nd war next year. and that, what is that war? that is basically co cost of both serbia. that is, that, that is looming. and, and i think it's been agitated, a great deal by what's happened in ukraine intentions are great on the, on the european continent. and we, and we also see the potential for you and even nato beginning to show greater

fractures and, and, and fishers. so it, it, and the u. s. can, can try to start his leadership. but, and it can, but it can walk away. but what, what's happening is that europe is stuck with the mess that the, that the united states help create. and this is what's really, really, very sad. let's consider the world economy with you. now chris, what are the prospects for 2023. does it look like we're heading for a serious with session and just how bad can things get? yeah, nicky, i think it, it really does. i mean, we, you know, every statistic that we're seeing now is every economy globally is, is on a down trend summit performing better than others. you know, we've, we've had reasons, statistics from china, russia, india, those economies recovering it in a certain weight problem. you know, the, the pandemic which we, we will part of the experience that really, again just, we are going to point to the other guys. now this whole global situation has been

created, it just causing more and more pain. and why wouldn't economies? it's really virtually impossible for marcus to ask. well, when they come predict what's going to happen? you know, when we have situations know the flashpoint situations will get history and i would like an economy to look at that history. if you look at history, the minute that something cannot be predicted and there is not he's in common the world, the minute that we see flash points of market crashes. and i think we've already seen that happen over the course of his conflict and ukraine. i think to me the most war in concern of what i'd say is a big stop warning was the be the mid fall, but landed in poland, apparently was russian and then was ukrainian. and now it's ukrainian and i was crazy. but that now, or it is not being connected to the market, the markets on be able to react. because now that on that i was waiting for a very major global cataclysmic event happen, is i'm invest as well. and as, as you and i would, you'll, you'll keep your bag of money with you. you're not going to throw something if you

think you're going to lose the, i think it's very concerning. i'm really not sure what's gonna happen. the global economy. i think we're going into a boss, global recession, and really, i think the only way out of this is for countries to really start moving, as we're seeing now away from that dependence on the us dollar. and the hedge of money that's created by the united states, through that financial system, which we've all been forced to use generation i coming back to you line all. and what's your assessment of the developing a global food crisis, who's ready to play? what should the world palace be doing about in the big question? will they actually take the action needed in the coming months? this is been one of my subjects that i have been talking about for years. and especially now, 1st, the idea that food, which too many people is just inconceivable that what to go to was store and to have no food, no bread. what are you talking about?

you cataclysmic doomsayers, you tinfoil at conspiracy theorists. i have heard this before, but here is the part that amazes me how many times do you think we have to see iterations of problems for we catch on a given example. this is the one that he still can't figure out during the outbreak of cove. in new york city, where i in the largest city in the nation here, there was a run on toilet paper. and i mean, there was none to be found. and i give asking, what does this have to do with cobit? that's number one. supply chain breakdown. any kind of any kind of e m, god forbid, an e m. p. polt disaster. a grid going down, strikes another pandemic, another. anything, anything to cause the slightest hit up. not in production of food, but good because remember, food as being produced now you will reap later on. but anything that interrupt this,

followed by panic, followed by this, this can commented out potentially asian of the problem through the media showing because they have to prove relevant by saying the end of the world. and you see panic and despair it's, it's going to happen. and i know it's going to happen and all you have to do is just read around the world. but yet it's this nonchalant that fascinates me, this detached insouciance this, this pauper. i don't know what you wanna call it. there's nonchalance like, oh, well, you know there's always been problems. let's go back to my game. let's go back to tv. let's go back to my device. it's going to happen. and it, i mean, i can't even put it this way. i can't imagine what, what human is will do if there is a complete and total breakdown that plus water, which we never talk hydro imperialism, a grid shut down, no electricity, no way to charger your devices. cataclysmic are things that sounds pretty bleak

so far on. they, let's go back to you, michael. now, according to a new poll, nearly half of the world's population, those that a nuclear war is becoming more and more likely. what's your take on that prospect? well, i think we're at chin closer with all the rhetoric, but i think the reality hopefully will set in by the nuclear powers themselves not engaging in such actions. i think unfortunately, we cannot seem to get off the the dime when it comes to dealing with north korea. when there is a remedy. there really is a remedy. i mean, we have to accept the fact that north korea has nuclear weapons and, and quit d escalating that will help them, but help the great deal. trump approach that did took that approach and it seemed to work for time. there was a recognition that he, that, that north korea had it and he cut back on maneuvers with south korea that help

less intentions. we should be engaging in ways to try the lesson tensions. now. in europe, i see a potential not for the use of nuclear weapons so much, but the, the creation of a new war. so pack i say that was because of the c s t o, the collective security treaty organization. it was not insignificant that mister potent visited with in bella luce with lucas shank of the president. few weeks ago, they have what they have an article for which is equivalent to nato's article 5. that if there is an attack, either by a direct attack on the federation or bella bruce by either ukraine or even some nato countries that are, are, that are continuing to push that narrative. that article for can be activated. and

i think this is going to be the next step by mister putting in the, in trying to prevent a future run by, by nato. and it could be coupled with the possibility that more and more of the nato members are, are becoming anxious and upset over the, the situation in europe. and the possibility, as i mentioned a little earlier of another potential war. i think that this could be one potential remedy that mr. may resort to and the demise of nato. and potentially the you, germany, germany. it's going to be and i've seen some predictions of germany and france potentially be in war with each other next year. i don't think it's going to

go that far, but i do see europe itself, whether it's france, germany, beginning to push more toward trying to reconcile its position, given where the u. s. has led them into and now benefits at europe's expense. and i think that this is, they're going to probably do it take stock. so i see this possibility emerging, but not a nuclear war, per se. course coming back to the finance side of things crypto currencies experienced a significant decrease in value this year that was following a massive boom. what do you think is being such a rocky ride for crypto and what do you think we can expect in the coming year? yeah, it's a really good question, nicky. i think it's been a rocky ride to a number of different factors i think. okay, you know, as i would say, crypto is a bit like looking at the dot com, the live out looking at the internet, pets dot com, all these different websites that existed that on around anymore. and the big power players came out of that, that, to me, you know, the google's at the wall of the apples with the microsoft. we've kind of not

maturity encrypt. and i would say it's a very highly volatile at the really what we're seeing now. and i think with things by global documents and now adopting crypt of what it was actually designed for the payment method. and so all of the scholars, all of the cowboys would advise people, hopefully we're going to see the yet very responsible regulation come out, major world countries, not just the offshore nations that have adopted those regulations, such as mold to grow. by even right now, we're going to see other major global countries adopt crypto regulation. i think what you're going to see then you're going to see instead of saying this massive, you're going to see a gradual increase in the value of these asset. more importantly, a gradual, even more of a gradual use in utility. and actually people using it for what it really is, which is really mano line oh, let's come about. well, old friend got nostradamus now, who also said to is said to a predicted that in the next year we'll see a so let's still fire on the royal edifice. what do you read into that this

interpreted by some is the end of one well daughter. symbolically reduced to ashes in the beginning of a new one that we might be getting close to some sort of existential events like that. you are absolutely tantalizing me with these questions that well let, let's let, let's look at this. we have talked about worried about unit polaroid, one world, or if, if you're i believe you're talking to perhaps the monarchy or various systems and the like. what i believe is that there was a phrase that was uttered awhile back. why mister schwab? many, we talked about the greek reset and for the longest time people that i have known and people that i have read and respected, we've always talked about this kind of a reconfiguration of the, of a global superstructure of power structure. and of course, we were relegated to the ash heap of lunatics. and that sort of thing. if you don't see right now a complete and total, almost

a re shuffling of everything with a very interesting approach. and looking at something that we thought were quaint. i think the monarchy, i think the british monarchy i'd be what is happening right. there is so significant in so many ways. but to the daily mail crowd, they look at all which a quaint little internees scene family battle between megan and her own. no, no, no, no, no. this the vatican, the world health organization, the world economic forum, the un, again a reconfiguration and realignment of power structures that we've ever seen before. and most people per usual have nary a clue. so watch carefully and be where. and one more question. see, michael, please. of course, to, as we know dominating headlines this year has been the military conflicts in ukraine was started as a limited russian military operation is now turned into this massive western proxy

war with no end in sight. do you think there's lies at the end of the tunnel for next year? no, i think, well, i think it's going to drag on. and i think it's gonna, until, until mister zalinski comes to reality. he's not going to be able to see russia kicked out of the un security council. i mean, how absurd and, and us is probably going to stop providing arms. i think there's going to, i think he's going to it, there's going to be a dry enough of your supply. and there's going to be an intensification by russia. of it given the winter offensive. that's going to be forthcoming. and they hitting the infrastructure as well as maybe even where, where the leadership resides. and i also agree with lionel that there will be all of this is leading to a rapid rise to

a multi paula world order. and we're seeing this accentuated by western said, gemini, and practically us, the gemini, forcing bushy united states, pushing russia and china iran to toward the multi polar reality. and we're seeing the us now. i mean, i'm sorry, saudi arabia went to join with the bricks, countries. iran wants to join with bricks. i mean, when you put all of this together, they constitute more than, along with this shanghai cooperation organization, they constitute more than half the population of the world against the western world order western dominance, western financial system. and i think you're going to see that emerging more and more particularly with countries trading in their own currencies inst.
