as a new business, a company that we're still a when a bundle of 11, i think it's enough for something with most goes on boss of the to the us accuses washington a giving approval to cave current on russian territory as activity in areas. and once again, shelves by ukraine, forces live on for interest, stop offices, rural located right here on the 2nd floor. thank god, no one was inside when it happened. saudi arabia says it is ready to consider export, building currencies, other than the us dollar to quote, improve freight the un wants of a dangerous cycle of violence in palestine as west bank families speak out against

israeli government refusal to hand over the bodies of the distant relative, almost 21 years have passed. and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was march with . good morning, i will have georgia international broadcasting live from most goes just past the hour and it's great to have you with this. i'm more of a mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. rushes ambassador to the u. s. s. washington has given cheve and direct approval for a tax on crimea using american weapons. he made those comments in response to an assertion by the us state department that crimea is ukranian territory and thus not of limits for a ukrainian military offensive. commentators nameless humor. russia will not retaliate for attacks in his territory. it should be obvious to everyone that we

will destroy any kind of weaponry supply to the zalinski regime by the americans or nato. isn't it clear that pumping a crane with more weaponry, no matter where it is produced in the u. s. or any other nato countries will only lead to an increase in the deaths of civilians. the rhetoric of us officials is becoming increasingly belligerent. after hearing such remarks from washington, the criminals and key it will feel complete impunity. the risks of the conflict escalating will increase once again american media, including the new york times have reported that us officials are discussing plans with the claim for attacks on the cities of mary pole and melissa ball, which link the crimea initiative to mainland russia. but as the us and other western powers have been supplying increasingly involves have heavy weaponry to enquire, any murphy, another call for increased arm supplies, q king from german lee, the olaf schultz. in the,

at the world economic forum endeavors. he suggested that providing heavy weaponry to ukraine would be the only way to end the conflict. then order for the war 2 and rushes. aggression must fear. that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our apartments. this was live now to steve gil radio host and political commentator. steve, wait to have you on the show. thanks for joining say. now there's report. citing several u. s. officials claim washington may help ukraine target crimea. mit how likely is this to happen? i think it's actually unlikely and keep in mind that what we're hearing are not necessarily us voices in the administration, but folks in ukraine saying what they're being told privately, perhaps by us officials. i don't think there's a real stomach in the us to expand

u. s. involvement u. s. role in the, in the conflict and ukraine. and while there may be some efforts to, to send more weapon rate. i think there are louder calls in the u. s. for more transparency and accountability for the money. it's already been dispatched for weapons and $800000000000.00 plus has been spent. i think us taxpayers and certainly a new republican controlled congress are asking for more details about where the money is gone. it's interesting to say that see, because we know that while we've just had the u. s. a public and defense official called for an instant delivery of all necessary weapons, you claim to combat russia. but does that means like get the weapons out? and that's why par hands clean, or does that mean something else? all the, all the room public is more invested somehow to i think i bore to me a lot of the republicans are in the pockets of the defense industry who make a lot of donations. and certainly provide a lot of financial support over public in san democrats. and with the conclusion of

the afghanistan conflict, a lot of folks in defensiveness where you're looking for ways to sell more weapons, more missiles, more bombs. and there are some of the us that want to replenish our own stock pile of what we've given to ukraine over the last year. so i think there are a lot of different pressures to produce more to spend more. but i don't think that the, again, american taxpayers to spend more to just send. busy more and certainly not provide more accountability for what's already been done. you may, ex, someplace i mean, the euro man is dialogue, steve, most conflicts end in dialogue. we've heard moscow say it was open to tools when he thought and why isn't this really being considered? you know, i think there just so many pressures of those who want this conflict to continue, although you're now starting to see less vocal terms coming out of europe. continuing to promote this, i think they're seeing the end of their spending. they're seeing

a harsh winter where the sanctions have a work where their lack of fuel and supplies are starting to have an impact on their own citizens. and they get the united states again, where we've had a, a shifted political power, at least in part of our government. there are new voices that are calling for accountability and for what we're actually doing. and, and what's the in game i think, you know, for a long time in history, most wise military leaders pointed out that you don't do anything unless you know how it's going to end or see at least a pathway to a conclusion. and i hear anybody following, as you pointed out, talking about the dialogue that gets this to an end rather than continuing as, as an endless war. we've had plenty of those. yeah, good. i mean, even afghanistan at all was that we know all conflicts that we know of always on, but at least brought people to a discussion table yet nothing here. you know, we've heard recently that sort of talk about the company is making money or trying to make money and these politicians are perhaps supporting them or being pressured

by them. but now we have the next that where countries like germany, the u. k, the being pressured to send tanks now. no. so we have the i'm t ad defense systems. now it's tanks. i was going to go through all the different sort of arms companies around the world. so everyone can make profit from this. i mean, and, and, and why they're so much resist berlin, for example. they, they said no enough. would this mean boots on the ground if they went forward tanks? i can't imagine that there is any support either in western europe or in the united states to quit our own military personnel on the ground. but the image of the meat grinder that we've seen taking place in this conflict, i do say that all the stories about how you train has been so successful on the battlefield. all their great victories were now starting to get more of a realistic out reporting from the battlefield as russian forces are seeming to

expand their territory. were coming into the, to the hard ground of winter, where russian tanks and russian military vehicles can move more easily through the marshlands and, and sort of slog through the territory. that's been in battle for a while. i think we're going to see significant progress in this conflict by the russians in the next couple of months. and i think that's why you're seeing maybe a bit of hysteria kind of a last ditch effort to get more weapons to support support g of and ukraine because they've not been very well on the battlefield. spite the misinformation that western media and certainly european media have been putting out their intensity. when you listen to those who are actually reporting on the ground in eastern ukraine, you get an entirely different picture than what you know american meteor tell folks here in the united states. yeah, very interesting. really appreciate your 5, steve. always

a pleasure talking to you. thanks so much for joining us. there just wasn't need is call from all arm suffice. forgive civilian areas in the dumbass persistently show by you when you forces just in the last 24 hours, 11 residential districts in the donors republic came under fire and at least one woman was wounded in the attacks. an anti arabic correspondent visited the site of one of the strikes on the civil ukrainian shelling of jeanette's can nearby settlements, his waging more and more destruction, especially in the wake of russia having gained control of new cities and villages in the republic. law. smith of foreign troops, shop offices were located right here on the 2nd floor. thank god, no one was inside. one happened, the security guard managed to buy carrot in you. but i will tell you that i work not far from here. there were 2 rounds of shelling and 2 hits. we decided to come and help however, we could. it was

a spontaneous decision to family and mother. he murphy did that. civilians are constantly struggling to hide from the shelling and avoid the deadly explosives. scattered in the streets, similar with the continued shelling of civilians in the genetic republic proves kiev is determined to retaliate on the people in their property as he of his facing losses along the entire front line. sammy abu d up r t. dinette screeching has changed game out. so i, the saudi arabia has expressed interest in conducting international trading currencies other than the us dollar. in fact, it would be more danger, advantageous for the global economy. they say now the saudi finance minister made those comments on the sidelines of the world economic forum in doubles. i think that i have no issues with discussing how we set our, our trades arrangements, whether it is the us data with us as a 0 with the saudi,

or there was no discussion on that at all. i don't think we are waiving away or rolling out any discussion that will help improve the thread around. do some financial analysts say that china is right. the economy has outpaced that of the us cools in the us dollar to weaken his he contributed with enzyme. my colleague, roy, discussing why some countries of sausage shifting away from the us dollar for international trade. let's take south africa, the largest economy in africa, which is, you know, in so many ways such an important concept for our entire world to provide us with 70 bitches. and resources, but i think they just fed up the fed up with the fact that their entire economy is dictated to by us fiscal. why, why do you think that set up, chris? because every dollar saved nations all around the world is the king couldn't currency. why would they be set up the fact that this policy of most countries that trading us dollars have really extracted well from that country as a place to take?

china is invested millions if not trillions of dollars in the economies about the connection where it seems to be instead of extracts from their policy seems we want to investment and then winning the hearts and minds. the way china is working in africa. building infrastructure, schools ro, with hospitals, clinics, these kinds of things. it's almost like winning the hearts and minds of the people that i play. i think that's totally the, the correct way to look at it. i mean, that say we're, we're from a town or a village in africa and you know, you'll down down the sound of mine or your west in some kind of mineral extraction and in the past. so you've really seen is western companies come employee and just extract that? well, whereas they see a chinese company coming, employ them and actually re invest that money in new homes like you said, new roads, you infrastructure, new schools, new hospitals, and things that really improve your life. i think if it were you were i'd, i'd, i'd know which side i'd want to want to be on. but chris talked to me about bricks, brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. potentially it's going to be saudi arabia, potentially, argentina,

potentially iran. what are the implications that chris re bricks as it is right now, covers a far larger expense of the well population. that in the united states could ever dream a little bit different trade associations and different ways in which they tried to manipulate the world. the fact that if saudi joined that organization, we would go to south africa, the largest economy in africa, in that we've got china. we've got these big brazil, the largest country in south america, if the saudis coming there and all these other countries that are requesting now to join. i mean, it's really unstoppable. i don't know the fiscal level, which probably more important that and i think this might be what the foreign minister of south africa is also referring to on a fiscal level, there's really nothing stopping in these countries coming together very similar to the year. right, right. the european union has its own currency, the euro. we could have the bricks, currency, right? at that point, that is incredibly powerful. and for me, it's very, very difficult to see how the united states federal reserve could ever counter a currency with that much power in rehab less than 2 months ago where they agree to go essentially, to national currencies. it's almost like by,

by petro dollar. hello petrow, you one, and yet all these opec countries, they're all joining on board here. they're all looking to trade and national currencies. this is like, this is like a snowball, roaring down a mountain. i'm getting massively more and more bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger as every day goes past. here, it looks already to me anyway. it looks like the petro dollar, which is the spine of america's budget on foreign policy, is being shattered. yes, i agree with you entirely. i think we only had to see that as well from the last opec plus meeting. we've been biden's visit to jetta to see and b s. prior c. c c's . we saw in those meetings, we saw the opec plus count countries, which obviously led by saudi arabia who chairs, but roof basically say no, they did that with oil pricing. they refused to lower the price. they said, we can't do that because we're not going to gamble with our economies anymore. we're not going to allow you to be type to off through the us dollar, which is exactly as you pointed out how they've done it, to dictate how we run our own fiscal policies and how we look after our own people

in our own country. as head to the middle east, now the un representative in charge of coordinating, she said that in the middle east has called for accountability for violence by israeli soldiers against palestinians. he described the issue as a dangerous cycle of violence. the truth is, wallace. violence must be held accountable with legal justice, security forces with exercise, maximum strength and usually force. oh me with little vic life. despite mountie, international prussia is ready, authorities have been withholding the bodies of killed palestinians. the families of the disease have condemned that practice as a human rights violation all season middle east correspondent maria phenomena, as the story on a sunny day like this 121 years ago. mohammed sun shoddy left his home in

a village near nablus in the west bank and never came back. 2002 was the time of the 2nd intifada and massive palestinian uprising against israeli occupation. mohammed was told shoddy, had been killed by these rarely military during clashes between protesters and the army. the family started preparing for a funeral, but more than 2 decades on it still hasn't happened. dr. able are dorsey and sunny for sure, of almost 21 years. have passed and until now we do not know where his body is or how he was martyred. but we want to take him and bury him here in the town and read a prayer all over his body and know that we return him. this is all new wish before would be farewell to this world with their son still not rested in peace. the parents pain and anger has not been buried either and will not go away. before labianca these rallies are doing this to torture us more. if i had got back his

body and buried him, we would have been able to move on. but since i have not got him back, how can i forget he would have been so. the na sir is i want of around a 1000 other palestinian families who have corpses of dead relatives been withheld by his railey authorities. her practice that 1st began in 1967 man women and children are among them. hussein from jerusalem legal aid and human rights sent a tells me those who were killed and clashes and rage, but also died in his railey prisons. a hospitals elected out of the, the occupation authorities claim they will use these bodies as pressure and bargaining chips in future prisoner exchange deals with armed groups in gaza. and as a policy of collective punishment for the families. we also expect this is the way to conceal evidence, in cases of extra judicial executions carried out by the occupations soldiers in the cities of the west bank and $48.00 territories. there were also fears among palestinian families about the issue of organ theft were little bit from about to

be on the center helps the families get the buddies of their loved ones back they go to israeli courts negotiate with the army, police. some cases have 0 progress like shot is one for others. legal battles take months and years as of today, more than 300 but is still haven't found their way back home, captain israeli morgues or buried at so cold cemeteries of numbers. now lemon, alabama. we only know about 4 known cemeteries which are military areas that have forbidden to enter. these corpses were buried in an inappropriate manner at a close distance from the surface of the ground. in this cause, many cases of corpse is being washed away and lost in heavy rains and fruit, predatory animals that could dig up the graves. bog mission of israel says it has legal authority to halted buddies, palestinian families seed as a violation of international laws. and they are human rights, all those we talk to, while them in this report told us they thought that bearing their beloved ones is

the worst thing. but now they see that losing them forever without a chance to say a proper good bye is of it. more painful, but even when a family is successful and receives a body back, there could still be issues or some awaited for 37 days for these rarely army to return the body of his youngest son, but could not recognize him. it was froze in his was cooper ice. dr. sir 5 days through defroster body because we need the, the capacity for for him. what did the autopsy show? sure. we was good for, for by 3 bullets from back and the close distance our summer shows me. i'm just room and the clothes he was returned in with hose from the bullets he believes his 14 year old son, irregular protests are against israeli occupation. was assassinated by special forces in an ambush prior to and after his death, israel arrested many of i'm just friends. some other is also died. some of the

buddies were never returned as crime against humanity. when someone kill your son and stole his body, it's that was before for his brothers his cousins, his friends, to do something. and that's what's happening, vic, in the, by these 2 to fuel the violence in the area. we conduct a different israeli institutions asking for a comment on the state practice of detaining bodies. they didn't reply back, mary from ocean r t from the west bank. ah, let's take a look at our for current content now. massive process of erupt said in the rest of the eastern region, all the democratic republic of congo, near the rule, one, the border. hundreds of local residents have been demanding the withdrawal of canyon lead international peacekeeping forcing those troops and not doing enough to protect them from the radical militants. police use say gas to disperse the crowds

as demonstrate as a post, a major administration building in the city of gama journalists covering the events said they were injured. at least 2 were reportedly detained by the authorities. the unrest was filled by news. the additional chip from south to down were arriving in the area gum as mer has banned the demonstrations saying the local government was being besieged by processes. we heard from residences say that the international peacekeepers are not during enough combat insurgence, specifically from the m 23 millison group room for marketing. today we're demonstrating against the a see her have come to us. but so far we have found that they are ineffective soldiers and do nothing on the ground apart from serving as a shield for the enemy on march. first of all is supporting the d r. c. army. so they can launch operations against the m 23 and show the

e a. c. all me that it has no reason to be here. we are in the process of claiming all rights in relation to the regional force which had come to intervene in favor of the d. c. army. we want this e a c force to be able to rector the front or go home, rush on, got a policy. we surprised to see how the police are refusing to allow us to demonstrate. we do not want to see kenyans marching in the streets of gomer. again, we're asking the government to say if they do not want to go to war against the m 23. and if not, then leave our city of goma. we don't want them to come like monasco. let's take a look at indiana where a recent poll among citizens has thrown up some eye opening results, including the u. s. taking 2nd place. among what people view as the top security threat to the nation. ortiz india course we're not. rondon sharma picks up the story and now the pool is saying that us is considered as

a 2nd top thread going ahead of focused on and boxed on. remember in the shares of history of military conflict with border disputes as well. and that ever since the creation of focus on in 1947 in the us had trouble diplomatic relationship with the and a u. s. in fact, interestingly, comes ahead all boxed on and in this particular so the ordinary citizens from across the country was interviewed. of course they saw china as the top thread, but 22 percent saw us. the 2nd most threat, as far as this pool is concerned, while the world's 2 largest democracies would seem to make for natural partners, especially given their mutual mistrust of china. indians have strategic reasons to be wary of the world's western superpower as tensions between washington and beijing increase the indian public may be worried about getting caught in the middle of a us china conflict that the stabilizes regional security. putting india at risk.

well, it's interesting considering india has rather warm relationships with the west stuff also us as india, as top trading partner in the world. and even then when you look at this, so be of people are seeing that us as a 2nd most threat when it comes to india. also when it comes to china now the top that lives in the so be 43 percent. the indians come to the china, the top military to remember india in the recent past has had trouble with the border situation with china in 2020 india on china. so one of the bloodiest skirmishes in history where several soldiers also had lost their life and also last year in 2020 do another clash between india and china we saw now another interesting aspect of this particular survey is that indians are likely to blame us . its allies and keep for the conflict in ukraine,

and it's only around 38 percent. so less than 40 percent indians that come to the law school responsible for the ongoing conflict in ukraine. now it's around 26 percent people that see united states us to be blamed and around 18 percent. people think nato is to begin. so 44 percent there compared to the 38 percent people think and blaming more school for the conflict. now another reason that people think in this direction is because indians have off lead been to by the west, by the u. s. a for the constant pressure its force on india to condemn rochelle, offensive in ukraine, also to not to buy discounted oil from russia. now 60 percent of people in india believe that the indian government should continue buying oil from russia around 49 percent. see that india should continue. it's military exercises with

more school, just to quickly underlying here is that as far as new delhi and moscow friendship is concerned, it has withstood the test of time and also geopolitical jones in that sense, for example, in 1971 when india and bach hassan had gone to war or the manager and prices in easton, focused on countries, including the u. s. the all supported. they provided military as well as moral support to pakistan. and that's when india sent out an s o s call and only one country came to india rescue. that was so with the union. so this ball in a sense, whole testimony and that people in india haven't forgotten history as head back to africa. now a new report has claimed that persecution of christians in africa is on the rise with thousands of people killed over the past year because of their faith. the

report by the religious research group opened doors said that more than 5500 christians were killed in africa last year because of their faith. it said that more than a $120000.00 b will, would displace due to the anti christian violence on the continent. i'm at least 15000 christians have become refugees. now the report went on as far as to say, some governments in africa actually condone the violence against christians. now the african nations of somalia, arethia and nigeria were listed in the top 10 of the countries were christians, reports of the face, the most violence we heard from her, the head of the research. and she says, the rate of crimes against christians in africa is horrific. i think even we were shocked by our own numbers, 7 out of 10 countries where there is the greatest violence against christians or in

sub saharan africa. violence can mean killings and a large percentage of those who were killed for their faith in the last year. we're in africa, but it can also mean rate, it can mean abduction. it can be the destruction of property. now the research group says 360000000 christians face persecution and discrimination because of their faith passed one in 7 christians world wide. breaking that down by region. that's one in 5 christians are persecuted in africa, 2 in 5 in asia and one in 15 in latin america. we heard from the head of a nigerian christian association who says the fact that christians are in danger in that country is because of a lack of security the entire population. it is fortunate that in a country it has a constitution in a country that has a government and some group been good enough can be taken up

in the schools and cannot really do nothing. and they do, it is actually being in the, on more than line maybe getting them and i'm killing some of them. that becomes a good concern. if nothing is ever killing the priest, why do you plan to prove that to do if you're happy with government? what kind of it was under that event in a state where was george and louis keep not active. could i miss enough to know so much as a bit concerning the christ community. but generally what it because now given seems not to be secured at this moment. also is this our but do check out of the next document. it pulled the which in the congo will be back to the top,

the there will join us then the l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at that point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot most protective own existence with.
