and violence from police are often routed in colonial and slavery prisons. and this was no different ah. 6 months after the incident, the government of spain and moral gl denied responsibilities for the deaths in molina, a relic of spain's colonial pass that is still cherished. today, the incident is alleged, saw thousands of migrants and refugees, tired of being changed public animals with little to no welfare. climb ob,

6 me to long iron fences that led to precious with police. scores of migrants were left, did. many died, wavy fell the governments of morocco and spain under reported the full extent of this horror and denied any responsibility. but not every one was willing to take this at face value, even after enquiries by rabbit and madrid. at this dismal 6 month anniversary, the spanish american authorities have continued to deny any responsibility for the carnage at miller. there is a growing mountain of evidence of multiple serious human rights violations. the smacks of a cover up and racism train rolled over western sahara from 1884 until 1975 following international pressure. the un resolution on the colonization, spain was forced to seed control over its territory. neighboring morocco wasted no

time in annexing western sahara illegally. claiming it's part of its kingdom for 5 decades morocco waged war on the surrounding people. and for 16 of those years. the poly, sorry of france and national liberation movement lead the defense of the so wily length. the position expressed by the spanish government totally contradicts international legitimacy, the united nations, their freakin union, the european union, the international court of justice, the european court of justice and origin. organizations do not recognize morocco and sovereignty over the western sahara. but it wasn't just fe. germany also encouraged moral cause ref berlin in now's former, you as president donald trump's recognition of morocco's claim over with the the hara at the united nations in march of 2021. moreover, and foreign ministry severed all ties with germany,

including german organizations based in morocco. but as soon as one of shoals became the new chancellor, the country seemed to assume a much more relaxed using energy issues caused by the ukraine conflict as an excuse . germany signed the hydrogen deal with morocco, berlin, now to begs moral has claim over sarah, we left germany considers the autonomy plan presented in 2007 as a serious and credible effort by morocco. and as a good basis for a solution agreed upon between both parties. this european hypocrisy of looking out for your own interest seems more like a western privilege. the united states, the so called defenders of democracy and liberty in the world also recognized morocco's claim. in a quid pro quo,

the deal is revived. hes 2 men in diplomatic ties with era, even though the united nations recognized the police, are your friend as the legitimate representative of the seller? are we people, the west only cares about it, interest and narrative. but for many in the global south, it would be a moral any justice if with them interests are allowed to some do, gained an entire people without a rebuttal. cannibalization for r t. in jonesborough law, sarai i to this thing so that you stand on the conflicts violates international laws and conventions. you couldn't set up last month of his by spade in germany did not directly recognize american sovereignty in sorrow. is a kind of recognition in so called self rule and a kind of excuse for morocco's occupation of western sahara, and it is a decision taken by spain in germany, but it violates international law and old international conventions. there is

a clear contradiction. we see the western nations defending human rights in ukraine, but at the same time supporting the illegal occupation of western sahara for the benefit of morocco. because according to the un international law and international tribunals, morocco's presence in western sahara is considered an occupation. this means that human rights, international laws, all the principals at the e u in the u. s. have been talking about, or just tools in the hands of a dominant power that uses them when it has certain interests. unfortunately, support for western sahara does not correspond to the interests of western countries. on turkey, as nato membership should be up for question. if president's wretched type err, tuan gets re elected. thus, the position of former u. s. national security advisor, john bolton, who is also accused ankara of not standing united with nato when it comes to russia . determination of the west will be truly tested in practice.

finland and sweden have made the stunning decision to join nato. but russia's trade and military partners have not yet abandoned it in its hour of need. unfortunately, this includes turkey whose nato membership should be in doubt in 2023. if president reach a tie up early, gone, probably through fraud will be reelected in the election scheduled for june. an op ed published by britain's daily telegraph, the former u. s. national security adviser. that is time for the west to show the world it's strength and resolve. adding the 2023 must bring victory for keith. otherwise, countries like russia, china, iran, and north korea will view the situation as evidence of the west's weakness. in contrast to many of its name, so counterparts on crows chosen to take the role of a mediator in ukrainian conflicts with the turkish president previously stating

that the west has done nothing but make publications. despite anchors efforts for peace, the u. s. on the you have public, he criticized took here for it's close ties with moscow was part of his diplomatic efforts took. he has remained a neutral middle man and an important facilitates of the vital grain deal which helped ease the global food crisis. but diplomacy is not the only tool in washington's foreign policy arsenal. john bolton in july last year appeared to admit that the u. s. facilitates at all one cruise in foreign countries and went on to give the venezuelan crisis as an example. must cross live now to political scientists on north synagogue, goes also for more on this story. thanks for joining us this afternoon. and 1st of all, i just like to get your opinion, what do you make of these comments by the form a u. s. security adviser, or 1st of all, i have to say that it's not a big price for me. and i think for the coach public got more and more turkish government than turkey states established in good relation with neighbors like

russia, iran. and they also knew the syria, and they're more of these with relation that they will open more the american christian on turkish government. it is increased. i think that's why i think mister bolton made this kind of a statement about search in terms of policy towards which elections and turkish membership on the on natal. i'm do you think it's even remotely possible that turkey could be excluded from a song or how the even happen? i think that they don't have a common interest. it's totally billamore. have a common interest with natal. i look nato's the member country. they are supporting terrorist organizations, like p k, k y, p g federal, luckily, organization, which are acting against turkish national security. so why it took,

you have to stay in natal as a member? like in same time the need for member country, they're acting against to partition national interest. so do you think turkey could voluntarily leave the organization itself and maybe shift towards other alliances? the other 2 separate ideas in turkey, one, the 1st one is like there are people that they are defending to stay in nato because like that we can keep our right of it all in nick need organization. so we can use our right of the to like that be used against in london students membership . but i think so with this normalization for syria, and now we have really to listen to russia and also we eat on. i think the depression from the vests will be more and more so it's possible that people don't really live in it for you. you could also argue that turkey has role in the nato

alliance has, has been even more important this year. as i said earlier, sites it very much as a facilitator of the vital grain deal and it has a sort of pushed for diplomacy and you know, between to resolve the conflicts in ukraine and how important is turkey has role in nato. i think you are so cheap. turkish, a turkish government was following the balance policy between west and east. i mean 20 is dealing with cream but the same time we are really good partner with russia. busy but now i think the conditions are changing even for churches, and it says no more people to follow this balance between nato and russia. we will pursue because nato as organization and be like the head of natal. united states is making more and more oppression on turkey. economic way to kill way and

even the military, the way they're cheap sporting these terrorist organizations in not of syria. well, talking off service organizations i was in need so may expand in the near future with finland and sweden, turkey obviously puts a, an umbrella in the spokes of that. ask in those 2 countries to try to send terrorist suspects to turkey. um, do you think that is going to be too big to be manageable and do you think that these divisions are likely to increase as it expands? i think the chisel in london is not just kind of an exception. i mean, quality is that nato members, united state, france, germany, a whole month for more than 30 years. these countries they are sporting good. these, there is organization and in london through the, not just on the same way. so, i mean, i mean it will, it, the turkish national interest and they taught strategy or we have no more common

interest. mitchell. so there is, there are no reason that we stay as the member of nato. well, we'll have to wait and see what 2023 brings regarding circle membership of nate, so on us and on goes olson political sciences. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us today or nancy. thank you for the invitation. thank you. ah, in the news u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi is stepping down from her role us speaker this year, but she's going to stay in congress. the official did make waves, as you probably remember in 2022 with her controversial visits taiwan stoking tensions in the u. s. which is already fraught relationship with china ortiz kennimore. it has more now the by the administration says that it wants to get along with china. but as the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. and this year we saw nancy pelosi, the u. s. speaker, the house visit taiwan. nancy pelosi is the highest ranking

u. s. official to visit that island in 25 years. and her example was followed in december by a few british m. p. 's. needless to say, china is not thrilled when you do have repeatedly made clear alpha opposition to speak, a pitiless visit to taiwan. if you ask, insist on challenge and china's red line, it will, the met with resolute contra meshes. the u. s. must in show full responsibility for any serious consequence arise in both the world braced for war. as philosophy blatantly disregarded u. s. foreign policy and took its dig it beijing. china then launched 2 weeks of dramatic military exercises. the whole pacific region was put on to high alert, but war did not calm. china responded with economic measures and sanctions. the world was not impressed either. the deep us china, competition. that was not a surprise. but this collation of been shown in k one. yes, they were not indigent,

and they were treated by an individual trouble. november's finality that bring the ty when is treated to breach at the age of a i wouldn't say a wall, but a lot of wall games. los is moved, not only threatened china, which considers the island to be a renegade province, but it also goes against long standing u. s. policy. the u. s. government says there's only one china and recognizes the government in beijing, but yet biden sad of the people's republic moved to retake the island. he would step in. we are not movies, we're not encouraging their being independent to be clear, sir. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes. while on the island, nancy pelosi reassured taiwan. that economic measures from the united states

regarding the chip industry would benefit tie one's economy and make up for increased pressure from the government of china. taiwan has already paid the code for your visit and is likely to continue to do so. with the coming days of weeks. what concrete tangible benefit can you promise taiwan? offset the cost of your trip went to the same time this ship is taking place in recognition of our common interest. economically, we just pass the chips and signs at the taiwan policy act or 2022 now sits before the u. s. congress. this isn't so much a pro taiwan bill as it's a bill aim at retaliating against the chinese government. china has slapped a visa ban on a number of officials on the island who helped coordinate the foreign visits. the recent elections on taiwan saw a pretty big suite for the k m. t party that's more sympathetic toward cooperating with the mainland. meanwhile, independence forces saw pretty big setbacks. seems pretty clear the people on the

island do not want war as much as washington enjoy taunting beijing and playing with their lives as pawns when it comes to how countries conduct themselves in the international arena. there are certain standards, the various games that the biden administration is now playing, despite insisting they haven't abandoned the one china policy that is longstanding are certainly anything but professional. the world is not in breath fail of mopping . artie new york as nancy pelosi hung over her house of representatives, leadership republicans as seems the politicians stint in office, created more critics than funds or get more in this story over on our website as well as much more oxy dot com on over to europe and now, where the effects of brussels sanctions against moscow has been described as less than 0. well, those are the words of an e u. parliament member,

as the box own report shows a much increase in revenue to russia. from the e. u. last year oxy contributor ritual moss and has the details member of european parliament from belgium gave her hofstadter tweeted his outrage at a new report detailing how the blocks anti russian sanctions have resulted in an increase of revenues to moscow from e u countries. he says that the effect of the sanctions as quote less than 0 and that the e u is quote, rewarding russia for its war against us. or, you know, maybe the use war against itself. but back in february, the same euro deputy was mashing is keyboard tweeting furiously about the need for sanctions. prudent brings europe back to its darkest hours. peace and stability are at stake. not only do we need to launch the full scale of sanctions and help ukraine with equipment through the european piece facility. we also need to draw hard lessons, a european defense and energy union. well,

actually it's europe. that's bringing europe back to its darkest hours, because everyone's during the lights off to save on energy bills at the behest of the government. according to the data from the european union's own statistical agency, euro stat, the value of imports to you, countries from russia in 2022 has increased and by 346 per cent from 2021. in the case of sylvania, which imports petroleum products and fertilizers from russia, in fact, the only you countries that didn't send more revenues to russia in 2022 were finland lithuanian denmark lot. fia estonia, sweden and ireland. in terms of euro's germany was russia's top. you customer in 2022 with 20700000000 euros worth of russian in ports. poland was 2nd sending 10400000000 euros worth of revenue to moscow ahead of italy, france, the netherlands. and we've also just learned that poland pledge to stop importing

russian pipeline oil by the end of 2022 is about to be broken now as well. so how exactly have you countries manage to send even more cash to moscow despite bragging that they're buying less well, simple supply and demand. a concept that apparently continues to elude the blocks leadership. we must cut rushes revenues, which potent uses to finance this. i'll trust this war against ukraine were prepared for this at the beginning of the war, russia's pipeline gas was 40 percent of all imported guess. today, it is only 9 percent of our gas imports. he thinks someone who had taken a basic economic course might have spoken up there and said, hey look, if we drastically reduce our own energy supply, the price will skyrocket. and moscow will therefore be able to recoup the costs of any reduction of export volume. but that would be the logical way of looking at it

and measures taken here in europe are 1st and foremost for show. so the e u is even willing to toss the french bag yet under the bus. which by the way has unesco world heritage status. all in order to keep up the charade of sticking it to russia and he, russian, president virus, that's a rob otts full 26 p. m. this moscow time. my name is peter scuffle. i'll be back again on the top of that all with all the latest news abuse assessment writes in austin. i wanted ah ah, the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally

authorized by the leading european countries in 18. 85 in the very heart of the african continent. a state under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared since the beginning, the congo free state was total may him for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. to keep the congolese people under control, the king set up the so called forest bleak which wear punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants. fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals, the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet used. and as proof presented a chop hand of an african. it was not uncommon when trying to justify the use of

the ammunition, the colonist amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide in only 20 years. the policy of the belgians led to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust. that genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the grimmest pages in the history of mankind . with joggers archipelago, rome, the cho, sienna diego garcia, the largest island in the archipelago is now the location of a very large u. s. military base. you get government div hour i to the u. s. government to make it military base and just deported or the tankless and people from their country. so big caught return back on the island. no, no,

but we are fighting. that's why i'm fat. we are fighting for the right. so i, we do not consider that the right to self determination actually applies to the trickle. since i don't the question, no self determination of the legal advice we've received is actually the chickens were not and are not a people for me. it's done to move on and see what we can do. a full the tumbler said committee to return back home is knowledge support from the imagination type mission african united michigan. don't care about douglas and people ah, it's a shift mediate z, dicky, he will yesterday's. the kilogram seems i couldn't. he was more than what i want with that. so the minute or 2 it was

a miracle story splitter. whichever someone wants to chill some we choose for spiritual r o one food actual go brazil, kashi, we me through to a bias spirit which in and walk with me for a short i was with in to near come, who's the digital literature and just upload me when you were one of our us enough computer science cross science, financial wellness, which it then you were was not at the tip floor. the brother got on a when was on, but usually 3 of the abs columnists give me mind calling me from my husband. bullock ah ah ah.
