[000:00:00;00] a man with the headlines on the international for the indian foreign ministry slams a new b b c documentary about prime minister and a written dr. modi saying the piece handles and promotes database colonial mindset with pushing u. s. interests over china's strong ties with africa. that's how the content is. media is describing the us treasury secretaries, all of a sudden, 11 day visit to africa. and pakistan's. petroleum minister emphasizes the importance of increasing energy importance from russia,

despite western sanction. if we can have the russian crew flowing through our system, it would be very helpful, a significant chunk with good to have your company for this friday program live from moscow, a big tally of your top stories today. so the bbc is peddling a narrative. again, those words from the india external affairs minister is a new documentary is released by the b, b, c. that some are calling a hit piece on the current prime minister. is anything this film or documentary is a reflection on the agents and individuals that are peddling this narrative. again, it makes us wonder about the purpose of this exercise and the agenda behind it. and frankly, we did not wish to dignify such efforts. the bias like of subjectivity and continued colonial mindset is blatantly visible. bbc's tobart documentaries. see these called

in there, the more the question, whatever that means has been slammed by india labeling 8 a propaganda apiece. the documentary is about the 2000 to which arthritis and marines are more. these are all in the violence in his home state. now. so the 2000 to withdraw thrive for the worst, our communal rights that india has ever seen. nearly 2000 people had lost their lives. it's also true that initially the blame was been on mr. moore, the for not being able to cobb the widens or the supreme court of india has rubbish . all those allegations, in fact, a special investigation steam and 2012 has also given mr. moore the, the clean chit, the documentary failed to mention any or that. in fact, the documentary refers to a u. k. government report that claims that are in the us prime minister and then

chief minister off could draw. noreen the more they had proactively stop the police from preventing the riots. oh, human dri. has lots of question marks and lots of loophole is constituting. it does not mention these basics, the supreme court would act or the s i t team findings. this saw report and fact was prepared by a team that was headed by the then foreign secretary of the you care jack straw. but the question was, the british government holding an inquiry in india, india on a british colony, at least not often 1947. indians are outraged bbc's propaganda series on prime minister modi is aimed at denting his image. so they can as a state, broadcast or cast doubts on india's current foreign policy. our stance on russia or

our trade deals with middle east is upsetting the west. they're all hands on deck, the sole back fire. and not the 1st time that the west has published, such reports that greek or for colonial mindset, remember in their belong, has been complaining about the coverage that it gets in the west and press take, for instance, that time magazine cover divider in chief. but india also gives it back again and again, take a look at this previously recorded b, b c interview with mr. moore, thee he's, was there more relevant than ever and would say it as a human role here as of june. and i even john, dr to pre just the human birds vimovo bilmar nodes are your british or not bridge of a mandates. but the brits never worried about human rights when millions of indians dying during british rule take for instance, the sudden massacre or the bing all famine where millions of indians were dying

from starvation. while the brits were busy transporting in green to the u. k. no apology utilities, by the way, you can't possibly blame mister more the for not being willing to take a lesson a morality in human rights from them. in fact, india, under the leadership of mr. moore, the in the last few years, has been extremely fearless. the latest example of india defying western sanctions, and specials to condemn rochelle is offensive in ukraine. but it looks like the west and the u. k. i simply not getting the point, but india has reiterated that he doesn't want other countries. paul king then knows in dallas matters so surprisingly enough right now in africa, you'll find the us treasury secretary janet yet, and she's a one on 11th, a tour of the continent including senate goals ambia later south africa. now, yellen has described the visit as

a step towards further economic cooperation. the united states is committed to building on africa, significant progress in economic development over the past few decades. africa successful means success for all of us. and the united states is here as a partner to help africa realize its massive economic potential. well, in contrast to african media outlets have been saying the true purpose of janet yet on the trip is to promote washington's interest over the already strong ties the continent. shares with china and russia, his art is africa correspondence, catabolic touch the us treasury secretary jim g. ellen will touch down in the west african state of senegal. this friday. it's all part of joe biden. sanitation and campaign promise to give more focus to africa over the next 2 years. yelling message will mirror that of how calling you as secretary of state,

as any blinking who was on his african safari last year in august. yelling will have the strike that the continent has made over the last couple of decades, while also emphasizing of the united states is a partner and a friend to the continent. the irony here, of course, the african continent has developed in spite of america's absence and neglect. africa would not be weighed in today without the massive chinese investment in infrastructure and mineral resources. but the visit is also part of a large context of influence on the continent, the u. s. government sees the growing influence of other superpowers, namely russia and china as a threat to american entry. hear the view of the official u. s. africa strategy. the people's republic of china, by contrast, sees the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. advances own narrow commercial and geopolitical interests, undermine transparency and openness,

and weaken us relations with african peoples and governments. russia views the region as a permissive environment for paras startles, and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. the 3 country visit starting in san diego will also include zambia and south africa and it comes fresh of the heels of the you with africa salad. held early in december. president joe biden hosted over 40 african hands of things in washington. and during the summit, his administration main deals and commitments to the tune of some $15000000000.00 over the next 2 years to the continent. which pales in comparison to the chinese quantum. like many african countries i above ambia is struggling with debt and it's defaulted on it's dead repayment in 2020 is one of many african countries to apply to the g. $24.00 is nearly $13000000000.00 worth of debt to be restructured. and

the common framework mecan ism of the g 20 china holds a 3rd of zombie as dead. but despite that, the west lane has been to vilify the east the giant, even though the majority of zombie as that is held in western institutions in africa, southernmost country. a growth resistant economy is being further hampered by the growing intensity of power. despite south africa's woes, jaelyn is expected to push that old. i'm a pause and his cabinet on the pace of transitioning from coal to clean energy sources. the united states is one of 5 countries. that's promised south africa $8500000000.00 to ditch coal from greener energy sources. but there is no such thing as a free lance and weary africans will be looking out for the preconditions that the united states government is so well known for governors at marquee. jennifer this is austin, international life in the russian capital,

ukraine's presidential office says a lack of coordination in the ukrainian security services led to the killing of a key of delegates. shouldn't member off the 1st round of peace talks with moscow? lost ya. it's off a report by the wall street journal said the ukrainian national security service, the s b you murdered denise cray, of on the claim, he was a traitor, with an adviser to ukraine's presence. zalinski has confirmed, he actually wasn't one when you have, he's not a russian agent. his murder happened due to the fact that there was no unified coordination between the law enforcement agencies. there was certain claims against him. there was not enough time to settle these claims in a dialogue format. they shot him dead in cold blood, dumped his corpse on the side of the road in the center of kiev and accused him of spying for the russians. this was how you cranes security services rewarded denise

katy of in march of last year for is invaluable help as an informant. before and right after russia launched its military operation in ukraine, s b. u agents pulled up and ordered the military intelligence agents. and mister korea's body guards to surrender their weapons. mister korea was directed to a minivan. his security detail lay prone on the street. as the van drove away. bout 90 minutes later, the military intelligence agents was summoned to the spot where they found mister career of spotty. turns out though, it was all a big mistake, days after he was killed as a traitor kid, a of was buried as a hero, next to ukraine's 1st foreign minister. after all, the guy helped key abs negotiating team big time at the bell rou. ceasefire talks in march of last year, as they stalled russia's offensive with the illusion of good faith negotiations. ukrainian forces prepared for all our combat, according to ukrainian general caves, even credited with tipping off key of about russia's military operation. he

apparently told ukrainian intelligence that russian forces sought to capture and tone of airport outside of kias and to use it to bring in reinforcements that heads up gave key ever enough time to prepare. the airport was rendered useless and the in suing battle. and this tip off is remembered as a moment that could have made or broken key of war effort. if it were milk for mr. curious, most likely keith would have been taken extra judicial murder dumping the body in the street and not even bothering to conduct a small investigation. he definitely has an interesting way of saying thank you to its most willing collaborators. the ukranian intelligence service is a force unto itself. it's not fully controlled by the ukrainian government. vladimir zelinski therefore, is not the person who's totally in charge. the usb you seems to have a higher authority. and the case of dennis a cure, korea, it killed him,

executed him on a street at point blank range without any kind of trial, without any official inquiry on, on, under its own authority. they killed a man who the government ukraine now says was actually a national hero. it suggests that the far right forces are operating as they please . in the ukraine, the government has only limited control over their activities, and it's afraid to, to exert its authority. it's afraid to bring such forces to heal. meanwhile, heavy fighting continues all along the don bass frontline, russian troops coming closer to taking the key strategic city of our co mosque, also known as bach mood. a russian soldiers, including the don bass, establish ghost brigade of fighting to take control of the heights surrounding the village of sport. amelia, seizing those heights would open the road. a severe scan later, our troubles of both cities pose key strategic significance for any future pushed

to overtake the remaining don bus territories. and all the arabic senior correspondent started on her dia has been observing russian troops as they use tactical drones in the fight for sporting with fighting continues on the don best front line. the villagers for naya is under the crossfire of the russian forces. taking this territory opens the way to the city of saver sc. as you can see, ukrainian troops are located 1.5 to 2 kilometers from us. here's an open spot, so i have to move fast so that the ukranian artillery doesn't fire at us. and we're not spotted by drones, as there are many here. so what we provide our troops with surveillance and artillery support. and together we slowly and steadily move forward for iraq when we say europe trans play an important role in spotting the movements of ukrainian troops. the identification of targets allows artillery to shall the enemies fortify

positions which gives the russian assault teams an opportunity to move forward a bit mulner this way. the artillery achieved great results with enemy trenches cleared and our guys are entering them when the enemy is suppressed. now we just hit the targets as planned, and my fierce fighting goes on here as well as across the whole front line. but we were foreign mercenaries fight side by side with ukranian, nationalists, toaster bloom from my experience when we faced both mercenaries, nationalists mostly prevailed. you can judge by the fact that i am standing here and talking to you, and that is them in a safe taking store now. yeah. and the high ground positions around it opens the way to savers for russian troops. that is an important city just like our cham with spock moot, we're fighting intensifies as well as solid are, which was recently taken by the wagner group. it will further lead to striking ukrainian troops in the direction of love, yancey and cromwell tours, sorta gone. ha, dia, r t, dynette republic,

russia. the u. s. government audit has accused the pentagon of substantially miss reporting the amount of lethal weapons and supplies to contractors with a declared $220000000000.00 worth of military equipment appearing to apparently be just the tip of the iceberg. the d o. d has struggled for decades to accurately account for the government property in the possession of its contractors. the estimated value of such unaccounted property is over $220000000000.00, but that amount is likely significantly understated. this is one of the reasons that federal auditors are unable to audit the deities financial statements. we found that the d o d doesn't have a comprehensive department wide strategy to address this issue. we recommend the d o d develop such a strategy. so the inquiry examined the pentagon supplies of lethal weapons including missiles and told peters to various contractors. now,

9 years ago the defense department said that $220000000000.00 of u. s. military equipment was provided to contract is that the audit said that number was probably a gross understatement, and it was unable to assess the current amount. the government accountability office also said the pentagon has made practically no progress and accurately monitoring his arms supplies to all these different contract as well. this apparently has been rather an ongoing issue for us defense department. as we understand for decades, the pentagon's most recent annual financial report failed hold up to scrutiny for the 5th consecutive year. the defense to pop and manage to account for less than half of its $3.00 trillion dollars in total declared assets. it says it will properly address the issue within the next 2 years. well, i mean, all of this meantime, of course, we have another enormous military aid package for key f. recently, america approved up to $2500000000.00 for ukrainian troops. that includes about a 60 armored personnel carriers and 90 fighting vehicles,

as well as 8 air defense systems and $3000000.00 rounds of ammo still key f as reason to be an intensifying it's calls on western powers to increase that weapon deliveries. now the pressure to provide advance weapons to keep, however, has encountered severe pushback from berlin. the chancellor has expressed reluctance about supplying tanks, ukrainian forces on concerns that could draw his country directly into the conflict . german government reportedly believed that america should send its own times 1st before the lyn will consider doing so. and german parliament members from both the left and right of the political spectrum of also expressed serious concerns about sending this is shannon into santa answers. and this is an interesting approach that you are taking here. saw german tanks against russian ukraine. your grandfather's already tried that by the way, almost attacked then with melnick and van dera, and what was the result?

unspeakable suffering on millions of deaths on both sides. and in the end, russian tanks here and berlin was 2 of them are even here, standing outside. you should walk past them every morning and remember that german citizens do not want this escalation. german citizens do not want these arms deliveries. that is why we do not agree with this motion for india, that i would like germany to be peaceful power, not alleging military power. i wish above all, that these fonts are used to connect for the sake of the taxpayers, not for the arms industry. it was you i talking to the battalion with economic and our geo political expert jack rasmus now he says that some of the pentagon's financial operations had deliberately not recorded to avoid scrutiny. as he argues that much of the a to keep is actually just lining the pockets of u. s. contractors and that of the military industrial complex as 20 years. louis, continue a war,

and this money gets thrown around and purposely not recorded in many cases, as long as we're and is perpetual wars american empire. here, this is going to continue the average sexual doesn't even know this is going on. you know, it doesn't get reported very much in the media that, you know, tens, hundreds of millions of dollars hadn't wasted but can't even account for, you know, we've given over a $100000000.00 to ukraine last year. actually that money never much negotiate credit goes from nealus treasury to the balance sheets of the major war corporations. in the united states. the pentagon budgets going up by $79000000000.00 again and one year at least half of that $45.00 going is going to ukraine. and the new york time says, this is only the beginning, and there's going to be a lot more rushes energy minister on

a visit to pakistan is expressed his readiness to well move forward with the development of a major gas pipeline project. it's called the pakistan stream. he delivered the comments during a meeting with a pakistani prime minister about essentially increasing russian energy supplies to that south asian country. and we heard directly from pakistan's petroleum minister about the growing energy ties between moscow and islam about we have a long standing conversation, ongoing conversation about park street. so the discussions are about that project, removing the discussions about the import of energy or ongoing. so really if you look at it the, the projects are the big project that we're right now discussing is the energy security package. we import about 70000000 barrels of crude oil.

so if we can have russian crude flowing through our system, it would be very helpful. a significant chunk of europe is taking energy from russia. and if you look at the quantum of energy that europe is taking reg know, from russia and compared, what part is done even in times to come, may take, it's not even going to be a small fraction. our neighboring countries are taking energy, taking or taking gas from, from russia. so if europe is ok to take energy from the russian federation, and if our neighboring countries are quite okay, taking energy from russia than i don't see any serious concern. we are about 220000000 people boys to grow,

to become about 349000000 people by by the 2050 right now in the region. we have lowest energy per capita utilization. that energy put per cap. not only our population is going to increase, but our energy per capita utilization is also going to increase. therefore, if we want to increase g d p by 4 percent or 5 percent every year, which is what our target is, then we need to grow our energy needs by 7 to 8 percent minimum a year on year. so that just gives you a sense. so what kind of energy needs we have and therefore, how important strategic energy partnership is for us. cancer hospitals in the war torn middle east country of yemen, suffering from a shortage of life, saving medicine and equipment. over 80000 patients,

there are registered and seeking treatment with the national oncology center. according to the head, there are more than $6000.00 new patients add to the queue each and every year. well, only half of the needed cancer drugs are available. the le ledger chemo vital sex is in the country have been completely paralyzed during the years of war. now we can only get 2 kinds of medicines for cancer patients because of the blockade. most companies have just not returned to yemen due to many difficulties, including transportation issues, where you can't deliver medicine safely and appropriate conditions. the closure of apples and ports is the worst thing that's happened to our country. this caused the death of many patients who had deprived of their medicine. amber, also prevented from traveling abroad for treatment medicine arrives at high cost, and in many cases it arrives unfit for use g to poor transportation. of the armed coffee and yemen has been raging for the last 8 years. offer a saudi led, military coalition intervened in that country at the war has this place more than

4000000 people devastated economy. and while the basic health care services as well . so now cancer patients of raise their voices, they're asking for help them. so for the, the surface has become almost nonexistent due to the aggression that targeted the country and its civilians. in addition to the blockade and asked shrikes with some for michelle dutch of medicine. and this cost, if qualified medical stuff, because many of them have traveled abroad to such for better, bettina tish, the zealous number were facing difficulties in all aspects, including a shortage of madison's. we demand thing to national community, provide madison's because we suffer from a huge shortage of them. i only have one dose. well, a good time, i guess, for the french president to bail town more than a 1000000 people have taken to the streets across france to protest against president microns planned to raise the country's we're time and age by 2 years to 64.

ah ah, well as our president micron was signing a friendship, treaty with spade in barcelona, public transport flight schools and businesses all across france were disrupted by a wave of labor strikes as people just walked off. the joel renaissance, several dozen were detained. a mate crashes with police. let's get the opinion oliver auntie contributor rachel must. so the opening act of union lead protests over french pension reform on thursday. saw protesters clashing with police in riot gear, and tossing firecrackers at them near the bas steve,

where the 3 hour marched, wrapped up. now at the beginning of the march, there was also a group qualified by the french press as black blocks who tossed smoke bombs at the police and got returned volleys of tear gas. now union organizers estimate 400000 participants were in paris and about 1200000 in the region. now, of course, the has to be tempered by official interior ministry figures, which usually tends to be a lot less. and we'll see what they come up with. and usually the reality is somewhere between the 2, transportation came to a virtual halt in paris and across much of france about 70 percent of teachers walked off the job and energy sector workers halted delivery of fuel to gas stations. now, there were even threats of cutting power to french officials, homes. all of this is because french president a major and michael wants to bump the retirement age to 64 for a larger chunk of the french workforce. what he isn't touching however,

is all the special regimes that still allow some workers to leave much earlier in their fifties with gold plated pensions. in some cases, of course, a labour strike in france would not be complete with without some good old fashioned gratuitous warfare. and rich bashing. no, what article can we claim that we no longer need billionaires in france? we want no billionaires in france. really a tough cell when workers are already paying one of the highest social security tax rates on the planet at 2223 per cent. and that doesn't even include the other 45 percent of the gross salary that's peeled off their paycheck by the employer and sense of the government, of which they see none at all. by the way, my call was not even in the country today. he was conveniently down in barcelona, assigning

a french spanish friendship deal. i thought was lucky pension reform was one of michael's campaign promises way back in 2017. and he was just gearing up to tackle it in december 2019 with about 250000 protesters taking to the streets of paris. back then, right up until coven head. and it's been shelves ever since until now. well, i guess i was, roger was saying, pretty convenient timing for the french president to be out of town for a 1000000 protesters in the french capital. of course my crowd was finding a friendship treaty and basil own us back. thanks for your company. put back of the top with with

a when i was sure thing wrong when i just don't know. i mean, you world yet to shape out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground.

ah
