12:03 am
unbearable because since last winter we have not left the basements at all. ukrainian fighters settled next to us, dug trenches in front of residential buildings. constantly asked questions about why we stayed. they told us, ah, so you're waiting, you're transmitting the coordinates to the russians. look, lads, there's any shilling to day and where they live. for example, we will simply throw a grenade at you because it will mean you gave us out. i owe to that. it was very scary. the ukrainian forces were shooting calm. suddenly i'll house alone was shout 7 times and it was completely destroyed when we left, but it was already bending down. this is my husband. he was shot by ukrainian for to right now. house for no reason with my husband shouted that he was a civilian asked and we'll tell you doing an e cronyn fight to just run away without providing any help. i can understand why they treat us like this anymore. i really don't know. we couldn't leave the basement for a month and a half. they just kept shooting house. it was terrifying. avila was terrific. jeez,
12:04 am
arrive at these temporary sensors. there are getting a fed, so they receive the necessary clothing. and afterwards, they're taken to the local police station where a local officials are making sure that there aren't any ukrainian military among lisa refugees. following that procedure, they're all taken through other refugee centers. and as i understand it, the majority of these people have expressed wishes to join their relatives in russia, from on call for a party. don't ask republic. russia has reiterated. it's pushed for a peaceful solution to the ukraine conflict. but as warned that it's prepared to continue military operations unless kiev and its western backers agree to negotiate on moscow's terms. that comes from the country's envoy to the un speaking at the latest security council meeting. with more details here is art is caleb martin.
12:05 am
well, at the un security council hour, we heard different members of the un security council speak regarding the situation in ukraine. now we specifically heard 1st from the united states, they were the 1st prominent member of the un security council to speak. and when they spoke, they did what they've been doing for the past several years, unloaded a huge amount of unproven allegations against russia using russia all kinds of crimes. and then from there, they proceeded to call out iran and the democratic people's republic of korea for allegedly helping russia in ukraine. and from there we heard from other members of the un security council. now in china took to the floor of the security council. they pointed out that the ongoing situation where the western countries continue to poor loads of weapons into key and prolong the conflict is leading to a security crisis throughout the region. well known to some future escalating
12:06 am
sanctions or providing weapons will only make it difficult to turn the situation around and even provoke large scale confrontation this exists abating and prolonging the conflict which must be avoided. old course. we also later heard from the russian ambassador dan zia took to the floor and he took the moments on the opportunity to really just kind of lay out the reputation of, of what's being said there. he pointed out that in reality, this is a conflict that's been going on for 8 years. for 8 years, the showing of civilians in don boss was taking place. we now know that the minsk agreement was not taken seriously by the western countries. it was simply seen as a, a way of buying time and idling weapons into ukraine to prepare for provoking a of wider conflict on the russian ambassador took to the floor and simply called out what he was hearing lenses. the hon. great to was the meetings on ukraine convened by our former western partners are more like a hypocrisy fair. moreover,
12:07 am
the hypocrisy of representatives of the collective west and the key of regime takes on bizarre forms here. for example, our ukranian neighbors, who recently were almost talking about preparing to attack moscow are now running around with the idea of a peace summit. it is clear that this is primarily an attempt to please the western public. we're asking increasingly uncomfortable questions about where all the money allocated to key of is going. tony pointed out that these, these calls for some kind of peace summit from the ukrainians, are not, not legitimate. they're not honest, they're not serious. they're not putting forward a serious proposal, could actually lead to an agreement to and the conflict. they are simply, they are simply doing this the accurately to answer a number of questions and responding to the growing amount of public disgust with the conflict happening. not just in the united states than other western countries . now it's important to know the russian ambassador,
12:08 am
good mansion. next un security council meeting is scheduled for tuesday of the following week or next tuesday. there will be a meeting i, russia will be raising some very important issues. they're trying to point out many aspects of the ongoing conflict that western media mainstream media has just chosen to obscure and ignore america. last policies. that's how one, oklahoma state senator labeled washington's decision to send 100 ukrainian troops to oklahoma for training to use the patriot missile system. the state official argued the ukrainian military had already misfired on allied territories, referring to last year's incident of a ukrainian rocket landing and poland killing 2 civilians. the pentagon is planning on sending ukrainian troops to oklahoma to train on u. s. missile systems. the last thing we need is the misfiring a missile into oklahoma. now, senator nathan dawn has filed
12:09 am
a resolution that would block federal officials from sending foreign troops to oklahoma, encouraging local authorities to do everything in their power to keep them off state land. the politician also had out at washington's continued funding of cab stressing oklahoma should not continue to allow unaccountable spending corruption and potential money laundering. the resolution echo similar sentiments already expressed by some republicans, multiple members of the u. s. congress of called for an audit of u. s. government funds allocated for a to ukraine in november of last year, and newly elected speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy has reportedly pledge to limit future economic and military aid to ukraine in order to secure a majority of vote at his 15th attempt. let's cross to international attorney kline preston for more on the story. welcome kline. after the u. s. has given record records of billions of dollars to ukraine.
12:10 am
why has there been such a strong resistance to this decision to train ukrainian troops in the u. s. you mean among american, the american populace or the go? the government, the 2 are? well, the guy, the funny thing is that our, our government appears not to be in sync with the american population. our government appears to answer further and further toward becoming directly involved in this conflict. and while the american people don't want to have anything to do with this step, i think is a danger step to, to bring roughly a 100 ukrainian soldiers to for still obama to train them. patriot system is a dangerous step on thing. it's, it's misguided and i don't believe that the american people support
12:11 am
getting involved to this extent in the conflict in ukraine. what, what are the cost involved of trading these foreign troops from a country that's not even a nato member for several months. and also, how does this government cost affect american civilian? well, the effect it is hard to say what the exact cost of training these are, the soldiers from ukraine will be. but the cost is not one that, that, that as a monetary cost that, ah, is so concerning. the, the real cost is the perception. and the reality actually, of america's involvement in this conflict, which is on, within what i called the moscow sphere. ah, the to none of our business, and we have no business being involved to this degree or at all frankly,
12:12 am
in, in ukraine and the cost to americans, civilians. the american citizens could be great. particularly if this conflict becomes a hot conflict between russia and the united states. and the more the united states gets involved by sending additional aid. and now training ukraine soldiers here in the united states only raises the risk, well well, for american citizens to be involved in this conflict, this is not unlike how we got involved in vietnam back in the sixty's i and you know, incrementally, getting involved for 1st with advisors and then followed up with troops and then, you know, the next time, you know, we're evacuating our embassy in saigon and, and play in the country like by and did afghanistan. and so this, this is bad policy on our government's power and it's not going to lead to any
12:13 am
benefits worse, whatever for the american people. well some of our dom also mentioned that oklahoma shouldn't be connected to ukrainian corruption or money laundering. i mean, this is a half the accusation is as a reference to the multiple 8 packages sent to kiev by the us. or could the training itself present opportunities for financial profit period? well, i think it's both. but you know, maybe a senator dance resolution would have gotten more support to you just put in the resolution that obama refuses to support nazi's. ah, you know this regime these are battalion people the right sector and all the been dera, hold overs that are in ukraine. today, you know, ironically our support for them is, is really of
12:14 am
a disgrace because these are the grandchildren, great grandchildren of those galaxian, nazis from world war 2, under step on mendera that fought against the soviet union and within their own orders. and we're now supporting knots, essentially i, i think the policy that we support ukraine with our tax dollars and with our military aid. and now the training that we're going to be providing apparently, and for still oklahoma is bad policy and not what the american people want and it's not good for the american people ultimately. well, you mentioned world war 2 and is opposition to the presence of ukrainian troops. the u. s. lawmaker also mentioned the november incident when a ukrainian vessel, a missile beard into the polish aerospace killing to civilians. i mean,
12:15 am
this almost started another war. could this incident actually be taken into account in any decision to start the training program? well, i think it really should because what, what would happen is a ukrainian now, these trainees were too intensely or negligently ah, create a problem in on for still in their training and have an era patriot missile fired into a civilian area. we don't know what these people are do and, and frankly, the, the incident that happened in november, i appeared to be a provocation by key f ah, to, you know, promote or provoke rather, poland takes maxon, which would perhaps trigger article 5 of the nato o agreement amongst those parties, the nato countries. and so, you know, it's dangerous. i think, for the united states to be involved to such
12:16 am
a degree that we are. but also the risk that we run when we start bringing their troops, ukraine troops, united states trained on that. they could provoke another act here. who knows? i'm either there, let's face ukraine is most corrupt regime in europe today, and it has been for long. there's no democracy there and they're looking for any way because they're desperate. any way to provoke the united states to do more or promote push us and do more and other countries and whether it, whether it's honest or dishonest. ukraine will do anything. and that patriot missile incident, or not patron missile, but there isn't in november. i would that enter it missile that, that struck poland and killed a couple of farmers. there was deemed to be
12:17 am
a and tittle ag by you crying long to provoke, cold. and therefore that would provoke other nato countries. so in my view is very dangerous to have them on us soil training on in oklahoma. i think senator nathan dom was correct in his very bold resolution that he proposed this wish klein preston international attorney. thank you very much for your input. thank you . ah, the u. k. should get rid of its colonial mindset. that's the message from china's foreign ministry. which latch out at london's recent report criticising beijing's policy on hong kong journal with regular hong kong has long been returned to china . and hong kong affairs are purely the internal affairs of china, which allow no room for foreign interference. we urge the u. k. to recognize
12:18 am
reality. trends let go of its colonial mindset and respect china's sovereignty and unity. the u. k. government report claims. freedoms are being eroded by the chinese government in hong kong, alleging authorities systematically cracked down on free speech. hong kong was handed over to china by the u. k. back in 1997. the city was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy and freedom of speech under a principle of one country to systems than in 2020 beijing imposed a national security law to punish terrorism treason and the virgin, which has been met with criticism from the west. with that in mind, human rights watch is now sounding the alarm over violations in the u. k. itself. in 2022, we saw the most significant assault on human rights protections in the u. k. in decades. from your right to protest, dear ability to hold institutions,
12:19 am
accountable, fundamental and hard when right? so being systematically dismantled the report highlighted several new laws introduced in 2022 that weekend human rights protections in the u. k. for example, some measure stripped the rights of asylum seekers and other vulnerable groups, while others limited judicial oversight and restricted the freedom to peaceful protest. political analysts, alexander mc case as human rights rhetoric. it's just such wall of british propaganda. while the country doesn't actually apply such standards to itself, because the are the good old fashioned british standard when it comes to human rights is never apply to yourself. that which you seem to apply to your enemy. and the doctrine of human rights, particularly human rights, as applied to the international relations arina is always a one that is only going one way when it comes to the standard supply from the british government. the british government is still somewhat so we say sore at
12:20 am
having to give up hong kong all the way back in 1997 with the disturbances in hong kong, which the chinese authorities blamed on the outside interference from united states and britain with a degree of justification, human rights is just a, a language, it's a p, it's a piece of branding. it's a piece of propaganda that we never apply in britain. the british government never applies it to the relationships they have in the world. the human rights concern evaporate slight water on a frying pan whenever there's a few pounds at stake. rank, have hawker see that's been leveled at the u. k. following its announcement of a conference aimed at raising more financial support for a war crimes investigation in the ukrainian conflict. in this years to decade anniversary, since the invasion of iraq, the meeting is to be held in march r t contributor rachel mars then takes a look at why the u. k. is throwing stones from its glass house. the british
12:21 am
government has just announced this week that it's set to host to summit in london in march, alongside the government of the country that hosts the international criminal court at the hag. so the ducks, government, all of this is supposed to get the international criminal court to address the ukraine conflict. but it doesn't really sound like the brits want an independent investigation that starts with the question of whether any more crimes were actually committed. and by whom, here's the starting point. according to british deputy prime minister dominic rob, who's involved with this movement, russian forces should know they cannot act with impunity. and we will back ukraine until justice is served. why would this supposedly independent, international criminal court need? the brits and the dutch to give it a shove to do its job, particularly when one of its prosecutors. kareem khan is already looking into events and ukraine. is it may be that they're worried that the findings won't
12:22 am
support the well crafted western narrative. and maybe they're not looking, we're exactly where the west wants it to be looking. and it just so happens that the summit is scheduled to take place on the 20th anniversary of the iraq war, launched by the u. s. and the u. k. in march, 2003, and the very same international criminal court said of the u. k. 's role in that conflict. that there is a quote reasonable basis to believe that members of the british armed forces committed the war crimes of wilful killing, torture in human, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity and rape and or other forms of sexual violence. so what kind of accountability did the u. k face for that, nothing that investigation was conveniently closed at the preliminary face. and now london is following washington in pursuing legislature that we give immunity to
12:23 am
british military personnel accused of human rights violations. while are out it may be they can threatened to invade the hag to rescue any british personnel that happened to be hauled before that for it at some point like the u. s. did when it passed the hag invasion act. yeah, that's a real name during the iraq war. the head of action on armed violence in overton while clearly no fan of russia is nonetheless one of several experts now calling out the u. k for acting like it's in any position to be bossing around the icy c over ukraine, or anything else. putin should absolutely be held to account. but the u. k. government is in danger of engaging and hypocrisy by failing to investigate crimes perpetrated by british soldiers properly. other experts have pointed to the recent u. k weapon sales to saudi arabia responsible for civilian dust in yemen. as more evidence of why the u. k. isn't fit for this particular lobbying task,
12:24 am
the u. k. demanding that the icy target russia also comes at the same time as a new report has just come out in the western process, detailing the e, 3 british military combat deployments, all over the globe since the end of the 2nd world war. so you have to wonder by what moral authority or tone deafness u. k. figures, it's in any position to demand accountability from any other country when it's gone out of its way to dodge it for its own sorted, very long track record. and it's kind of like the guy who's car glove box is spilling over with speeding fines and traffic violations deciding to get really vocal and start lobbying in favor of better road safety. thousands of supporters of former peruvian president. pet castillo. have marston,
12:25 am
lima overnight. protest have been raging since december when patrick, his deal was in peach over a legit corruption allegations and arrested after he attempted to dissolve congress to avoid impeachment than vice president deena bal, arts aide was appointed as the country's leader. since the protest began. 47 people have been killed, allegedly, by state sanctioned police and military violence in response. peruse, attorney general has now launched an inquiry to identify those responsible for the civilian deaths. oh, a many actions have brought this like a lima or the feminine women. and as if it's a few people, they are
12:26 am
a bit out of the government with women, and that's with at least $10000.00 people are right now at the manifestation a lima on the small group united and made a b 2 big ones. one of these back at the center of emma and right now, this one is moving towards the most privileged and reads the streets of lima. that the month are quite clear that one the not to be out of the government. they want the dictatorship to and, and they also fight the congress along with the executive power of all the killing, all people who are actually exercising their right to protest. not just the lima bad. everyone,
12:27 am
a thousands of people have now read. and again, if you need me to florida with these yeah, one of the most liberal it this weekend. lima. as you can see, they said has grown so much the feeling that people are more than i don't everyone. i did itself with one of the other things that there's very little to say right now, is that a lot of it goes away. we get a new president, he all the congress of the republic to go for a new democratic general election team vital.
12:28 am
mm. and those were the hour's top stories for more up to the minute use updates, head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on social media including odyssey. gov and rumble for more content. thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back next hour. ah ah ah ah ah
12:29 am
ah ah i'm ashan or tansy and welcome back to going underground, nay. donations are in crisis. that is clear, an era of 20th century globalism,
12:30 am
guided by powerful corporations and institutions like nature, the i m f, the w t o n blocks like the u is accompanied one catastrophe after another. and so today we see the threat of armageddon from climate change disease and perhaps a war in europe to really end all wars. this while a miniscule global elite gets richer and richer, the new book argues that crises can lead to salvation by so called public private partnerships in bremo, president of eurasia groups, the power of crisis have 3 threats, and our response will change the world joins me now from new york city, thank you so much. and from about coming on, i better off before i even get into the book. what the reaction is because the world is arguably in a more imminent crisis than when you are perhaps writing the book. and given that you're saying crisis can harold the salvation? who's been reading this? oh, i had some quite well and i, i wonder, you know, i consider myself an a b person. but most of my books have been a little depressing.
