a case with a, with a headline stories. this are western defense chiefs, discuss new art supplies to ukraine with yet another huge usa package and noise. but they're still in no decision by germany, whether to send it competent. nephrotite was western states move that pump more weapon, then to use grain. russia shines a light on the deadly un security council meeting. were at victims another revealed law, the residence of dumbbells or injury, and sharing it up at the residence of a quote,

seismic shake for us democracy. russia's foreign ministry react to a conservative us watchdog report, alleging 1000000000 there are george sauce funds, media personality stateside to from those with very welcome to our attention. are still, i'm, you know, like 30 minutes of news and views. start them more weapons to you crate. but still no german tax, that's the outcome of a meeting of western defense chief saw the u. s. or a base in germany on friday voiced by washington's defense secretary. many of us thought that today we will have a breakthrough. the discussion about heavy metal pence. you did mention that at all,

i don't have any announcements to make on your launch. and you heard the, the german minister of the french say that they made a decision on leprosy. so no shiny new toys, just a lot of the hand me downs that had already previously been announced. now all eyes were also on nato defense ministers as they met at this ramstein airbase, near frankfort tom on friday. secretary lloyd austin, basically just use the opportunity to ask america's allies to toss more cash into the pot for the u. s. military industrial complex. oh, i mean ukraine military support spoken like a true board member temporarily. recused for 4 years by the way. and stockholder that he is now, canada actually did that by the way, canada bought a u. s. made miss how the fed system as a gift to ukraine. so they're basically throwing money at the u. s. military

industrial complex for ukraine. and now austin announced all the western allies that are also donating their olds, us patriot missiles systems to ukraine gas. that means that the u. s. needs to make more to replace them for their allies. how about that? i had of this meeting there. is there been a lot of pressure on berlin, notably from ukraine and from some of its european allies to cough up leopard 2 tanks, which no country can re export under german law without berlin's permission and berlin's position has been that it won't budge on the issue unless washington sends its abrams tanks 1st. so germany has basically been telling the u. s. i won't jump unless you do and the u. s. is looking at germany and saying, no, you go 1st. so they're both just kind of staying there at the edge of this cliff with no one willing to take the leap on this tank issue. now as recently as this week, there were a report citing senior pentagon officials, including under secretary for that's policy calling call. who said that washington

simply wasn't ready to take that leave of sending tanks abram tanks to keep citing maintenance and training issues. now even nato supreme allied commander, europe, or u. s. general christopher can volley said this week of western tanks, quote, there is not a particular weapon system that is a silver bullet. a balance of all systems is needed. so these statements by actual u. s. military experts clearly diverged from the ideologically driven take of politicians who keep framing western tanks as some kind of magic solution for military victory for ukraine over russian forces. on friday, zelinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministers meeting in germany . poland prime minister mateus mar wiki even said that either warsaw gets berlin's permission to send its leopard tanks to ukraine. or they'll just go ahead and do it

calling consent, a quote to secondary importance. nice example of european unity there when it comes to being careful about potential escalation. apparently it's o cater runaround off leash as long as their hearts in the right place. it's like the drivers slams on the brakes, trying to play hero to a pedestrian waned across the street, not realizing that he's going to get a whole lot of people run over and kill that this chivalry act. by the way, what exactly is this all this talk of tanks, world war one, if only describe could see fit to put as much time and effort into resolving the conflict peacefully as they are in serving up word salad and paying lip service in response to whatever demands key if tosses at them. while the u. s. is thawing yet more weapons into ukraine. moscow convened the un security council to allow the global community to hear 1st sound the accounts of those suffering. relentless shelling by key ebs forces rushes ambassador to the un stated constant military assistance by washington and its allies. mix them party to the atrocities committed

by ukrainian trips. saloon was quick accused since can coordinate the use of western weapons and targets with representatives of the supplying states for we have every reason to assert that the united states and nato, a consciously and intentionally complicit in the crime, said re key every shame against the civilian population of dumbass soldiers in ask and against residents live in constant fear for their lives under regular shelling by the armed forces of ukraine. that tragedy happened because the criminal regime, which came to power in 2014, readily and obligingly rushed to fulfill the geopolitical tasks of its western sponsors to weaken russia to fulfil their sacrificing their own citizens. pushing them to war to the last ukrainian when the west is testing new weapons, implicitly getting rid of the old ones. i've been sharing over that other lessons and some dumbass, thanks to the so called assistance of the north atlantic lines,

have been done for 8 months from an 8th of shall center, the quantity of them back a little deeper and their loved ones every day. but maybe one of you can go and talk to people about how to so just of the on forces of ukraine in the nationalist, dissolved battalion. yes. tank smartest to shoot their houses. how snipe is shot people. he came out of their basements, the food and military system was born. with serbian american journalist and abortion mileage believed nato's abundant supplies to key if is more evidence, the west doesn't consider the plight of don both civilians. the west is basically trying the whole, it doesn't matter what is it only matters what we say is technique and they're saying, oh, well, you know, we're not a party to conflict. how were you not part of a conflict or because we say, well, you've armed this country you've, you've sent it weapons. you've sent that advisors, you've sent it intelligence. you're literally paying the salaries of its government officials. it's again a stand 2 point. oh, at this point, but no, you're,

you're technically not responsible because you say so. i mean, they're not concerned at all. not in the slightest bit any, any person on the other side of the line, any russian casualties or civilians and on that are simply no concern to them at all. they don't exist, or they're considered legitimate targets. they've said this explicitly, they said it implicitly, the simply don't give a damn. we are finally colleagues with the u. s. those where the mocking words of the wagner groups co funder over a decision by washington to brand the private russian military company a transnational criminal organization. these actions recognize the trans continental threat that wagner poses, including through its ongoing pattern of series, criminal activity, pmc, wagner, and americans. finally, colleagues, relations can now be called a clash of criminal gangs. or your i discussed the move by washington with michael maloof, former senior security policy. i listed in the office of the u. s. secretary of

defense. well, it's a type of label that, that the united states places on anybody who disagrees with. and if you're not with us or you're against us and, and therefore you go on, our terrorists lists are, are criminalists sanctions are becoming almost meaningless. so i don't think the wagner group has investments in the united states. it has some limited ability when it comes to other companies or countries other than in europe. well, anywhere that might want to supply or, or pro, or provide or, or even allow members of wagner to bank with them. but it's very limited impact in effect. and it's not going to cripple wagner. my any meets the move by

the treasury, come shortly after the grip took control of the key ton of solid door. in dawn, both the white house has acknowledged russian advances in the region, but appears to be done playing them even if they are successful in move solar. it's not going to strategically change the dynamics on the battlefield. it's not going to set the craniums back to a degree where they're all of a sudden on their backflow and they're and they're losing, coming out in the defensive. really is that rhetoric linked to the fact that solid was taken by russian forces? even though the united states doesn't want to admit, it was a painful success. and the represents a success that russia accomplished in months. and it obviously has a sting in effect. otherwise, i don't think they would have gone through this, this extreme. now at least one person was reportedly killed and more than a dozen injured in a violent standoff between protesters and police and peru. on thursday, the,

the demonstrators made up mainly of indigenous people, try to storm and airport in the nation 2nd biggest city. where stop by building lawsuit has been sweeping, proven for more than a month with citizens demanding the resignation of president deena blue r t a who took office in a qu in december. the leader though things the situation is under control. naming the unrest has been ruled from abroad. meanwhile, peruse future, and that of its natural resources have been up for discussion. the u. s. and buster to the south american country has been meeting with peruse energy minister to talk about quote, issues in the mining sector. the very same on voice met the defense minister the day before, the qu, leading many to question the timing of the talks. the nation's natural resources have long been a target of the u. s. according to the us,

the president petrocca steele, who drew attention to the issue, rights after december. the visit of the us ambassador to the government palace was neither unreasonable nor in favor of the country. it was to give the order to take the troops out to the streets and massacre my defenseless people. and incidentally, to leave the way clear for mining exploitation. peru is a key global producer of copper or silver and zinc. the mining sector mix up a significant part of the economy, accounting for some 10 percent of g d. p. leaving is also an export of liquefied natural gas, which shipments and heading to the e u. u. k and asian countries. latin america, expert dummy shore, sees washington hand in last month. so vitro. lisa can is a long time employee of the b a with 8 years under her belt.

and now is the us ambassador to do. it's certainly curious timing to see her meeting nurses with the minister of energy and natural resources . and we do a meeting with former generals who are now ministers in the unelected government of being about why thing. but it's amazing how quick lisa kenna and the rest of the state department officials and the biden administration were to rubber stamp is to and get behind it because it means the the national i nation louis and resources rules. one of the biggest export is the gas now because the european union in the u. s. cannot rely on russia for their gas because of the sanctions. this is the same a playbook that we saw and film some of the neighbors. this is what happens lubo, and in part of why this is what happens is

a lie. and when any type of nationalist anti imperial is true, patriot on the left leaning president comes into power. the u. s. immediately sees them as a threat to quote you on must go very proudly posted on twitter. they're willing to qu anybody any time whenever they please. another story we are following today. the u. s. national guard is reportedly providing training to ty, one's armed forces, those washington concerns over a perceived chinese threat rose, according to media reports and military training started early last year. when the time when he's president commented on the cooperation of the national guard, pays defense. the former is able to be mobilized off the discretion of washington for the national guards also played a role in training the ukrainian military as well and hoping to boost that combat

readiness of troops since 2014. while cooperation between the u. s. military branch is said to be remaining strong. as the conflict continues, asian, the 1st specialist nelson wong, believes washington's priorities increasingly fail to take into account to other countries interests. on the one hand, the u. s. without the white house has been telling beijing that we do not support independence. taiwan. we recognize the one china policy, but in the meantime, they're also, you know, creating a lot of taishan across the street. so, you know, all these fabricated china right. is that come from nowhere? it's quite obvious that all they want to achieve is to maintain its role as the only people all over the world because they want to control the rest of the world for its. ready purpose to serve its own purpose. so this is,

this is why put bluntly, they want to remain as the only superpower. however, we also realize that outside forces like the u. s. is trying to, to interfere into the domestic affairs of china. so, but the chinese wisdom is not to engage in a direct confrontation but also set the lives quite clearly. the bbc is peddling a normative again, the words of the indian external effort minister as a new documentary is released by the british broadcaster that summer, colon quite simply, a hit piece on the current indian prime minister. no read remedy is anything this film or documentary is a reflection on the agents and individuals that are peddling the scenario to forget

. 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 a subject to, to and continued colonial mindset is blatantly visible. bbc's tobart documentaries . see these called india. the more the question, whatever that means has been slammed by india labeling. 8 a propaganda piece. the documentary is about the 2000 to which arthritis and marines are more. these are all in the violence in his home state now to the 2000 to withdraw thrive for the worst. our community lives that india has ever seen. nearly 2000 people had lost their life. it's also true that initially the blame was been on mr. moore, the were not being able to cobb the wireless or the supreme court of india as 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 therefore, so you can't government report that claims that are in the us prime minister and then chief minister or withdraw noreen the more the had to actively stop the police from preventing the riots o human dri has lots of question marks. and what's a loophole is constituting, it does not mention these basics, the supreme court would act or the s i t theme findings. this saw report in fact, was prepared by a team that was headed by the then foreign secretary of the u. k. jack straw. but the question was, the british government holding an inquiry in india, india on a british colony, at least not after 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 full back fire and not the 1st time that the west has published, such reports that rico for colonial mindset. remember in the long has been complaining about the coverage that it gets in the rest and press take, for instance, that time magazine or divider in chief. but india also give it back again. and again, take a look at this previously recorded b, b c interview with mr. moore the he's, was there more relevant than ever? someone say it is a human or a jew, john, try to print just the human rights being all about them and i will but it issues

are not reach of a mandates. but the brits now we're worried about human rights when millions of indians a dying during british rule take for instance, the sudden massacre or the being all famine where millions of indians dying from starvation while the brits were busy transporting indian green to the u. k. no apology for days by the way. you can't possibly blame mr. moore the for not being willing to take a less than a morality in human rights from them. in fact, india, under the leadership, mr. moore, the in the last few years has been extremely fearless. the latest example of india define western sanctions and pressures 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 for king then knows in dallas matters a nuclear blast for american democracy.

both rushes foreign ministry house described a recent report by a conservative us watchdog which claims billionaire george soros funded leading media figures in the us to promote his views our teeth. caleb and takes us through the story the spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry marias carver pointed to the report that was released by the m r c group to indicate that this is yet another bit of evidence point or why you asked media is simply not to be trust, it was a united states. such statement is a nuclear blast. if it is proved that the leads in american media received money for correct and how they present information. then all the democracy, this taste is wrapped up in their constitution and thrown into the dustbin of history. after all, washington has always insist that that the freedom and impartiality of the media on the basis of the democratic structure of the country. this report documents how

george soros, the hungarian born billionaire, has been using his money to influence different media personalities and figures within the united states. and it's media and essentially, you know, trying to push them to put for at a particular agenda that serves the more liberal wing of the western power structure. now, this is what's included in the report. it's just important to look at the details m r c. businesses extensive research has uncovered $253.00 journalism and active media groups across the world, financed to the tune of $131000000.00 us dollars between 20162025 sars is enormous network of philanthropic organizations, which allows him to leave an unparalleled footprint on global media. the report was assembled by experts and fox news is reporting on it pretty extensively. they are giving it quite

a bit of coverage and indicates what many have pointed to before. i indicates that there are facts to back it up about the role of the open society institutes and george soros and his network of political allies and the foundations an association linked to him and how they pushed a particularly liberal gender. now, it's also worth pointing out that even though fox news is highlighting this report in the role of george soros on fox news itself, has a record of being rather biased, especially when it comes to international affairs. or they tend to report on things or without acknowledging much of the reality of international situations. so when people look at u. s. media, now they're not seeing a voice that is very credible. they're seeing and the institution on apparatus that is created to serve certain agendas that seems to be very, very. busy well corrupted a lot of wealthy interests and, and elements of the power structure pushing it in one direction to serve one

particular agenda. the rhetoric from united states about human rights and transparency and democracy and the consent of the governed all starts to fall apart . if you look at this and you look at the recent revelations for milan mosque about twitter, and so many of the details that have come out, you can see that in the united states, there are many powerful interests that are working very, very hard to control and craft public opinion to serve their own ends, journalists, they're not really journalists anymore in this country. and most of the networks and most of the media are far left. they push your far left agenda, they believe in a far left agenda. so this is just kind of the icing on the cake and in many instances, according to the report host of the n b c. nightly news task. he oddly very strangely, but may be very honestly in telling about a year ago, all of a sudden declared in an interview. we don't have to give both sides. we don't have to be fair. fairness is overrated. really, from

a journalist from the host of the in the nightly news fairness is overrated. i'm not saying that's directly related to the sorrows money, but this is the kind of people you're dealing with. they don't report on the billions reportedly given by sorrows to every left wing possible on from the l g b t q 2, a portion i took to going easy on criminals. every liberal agenda you could imagine they don't talk about him being the top donor again. reportedly to democrats all over the country and all over the world. so it, the media is already tainted. this report is interesting and it's important. but this, this is not buying journalists necessarily don't need to be bought unfortunately. can interesting figure to tell you about not less than 10 percent of western companies operating in russia have actually left since the conflict started in

ukraine. that is the main finding of a study by a swiss institute, which my colleagues research on marina cos river talked through earlier. what we have is that less than 9 percent of companies have left the russian market. and from those we have of course, american ones. european ones and japanese firms, the one stop stayed behind, the majority of them are german and closely followed by american and again we have the japanese and all this of course comes as we have politicians and business lead meeting in switzerland at the world economic form in davos 2nd year in the row, where we are not seen of russian business men, russian officials, bots, they are the talk of the town if you will, because apparently behind the scenes, everyone is talking well, how much longer can we continue isolating russia from the global arena because obviously it's not only facts wiring on them,

but it's also not having the desired effect. it's not we can in russia because russia is getting more investment now from countries like china and india, and even western officials are now discussing this. and experts, the sanctions didn't have the kind of immediate impacts that people in the west thought that they might have. russia is largely isolated from the west. but of course, it's not isolated from the rest of the world. the global south has neither condemned russia and it hasn't sanctioned russia. we're seeing more and more people saying that russia is lonely, is still making money a better time to make an even more money than it did before. the special military operation began because of course, russia is speaking out more partners is looking for the ease, something that we've been discussing for very long time trying to is eager to do business with russia. india is eager to do business with russia. russia has also been investing in african countries for several years now. just wanting to start, didn't europe try to set a time with russia?

it did, of course, and then we have the sanctions. it's now it's been 8 years. but russia has been looking for solutions to looking for ways out, but now there is another study that i want to talk about or less one causes not from switzerland but from a brussels. and we can take a look at one of those graphs, for example. the 1st one is russia's trade balance with selected countries. and we can see from those numbers that actually trade has not gone down. if you compare it sits when see 19, for example, 2020. yes. overall, if we compare it to say a year ago, yes, we can see that friend is downwards, but money wise, russia is making $4.00 times more money now than it did in 2020. let's take a look, for example, ads of figure 8 says from their charts. this is destination of russia's fossil fuel exports among 34 countries. and we can see once again that the trend, yes. recently since the special military operation began, we can see

a downward trend, but compare the money going in to ross's coffers from said 2020 and now still making money more money than it did before. so we can see that it's not really working out and also rushes budget. it's getting bigger, it's getting fatter. rece weather in these, despite the actions by unfriendly states and the anti russian sanctions. from over the past year, russia managed to extract as much as 535000000 tons of oil. it's 10000000 tons more than the 2021 figure. the exports have risen by 7 percent actually in the state budget income from the oil and gas industry has increased by 20 percent of the woman. maybe they don't want to do a business. so with russia, the european union in the united states, they're saying they're throwing all these loud statements. we don't want to do business with russia after the special military operation. thought facts speak for themselves. not many companies have left russia and russia is making more money

than it did before the special military operation began. so it's not been working out as aurora on a busy newsday do keep in the loop by giving r t dot com or visit whenever you can. always fresh content lively discussions to get stuck into there too. i mean, and o'neill bye for now for gracious, which are formed over tens of thousands of years can give us important information into our climate and how it has changed over time. and what a scary is our glaciers are melting, added alarming rate to learn more. we came here to mount elbows to speak to victor papa. he has a gracie ologist who has devoted his entire life to the topic. it is a fascinating at times dangerous.
