ah ah, ah, a red light this our us treasury secretary is, is a lengthy african. so to push back against russia and china right in front on the continent, dislike to visit officially be all about. but i think corp, ukrainian units are desperate to reverse russian games along the river area does have become a major component of the fight. didn't put on by essential, meaningful,

modern war correspondent report from the front line. a is defined as pressure and, but now would send advanced times to be a military base in germany. and while the real, it didn't go didn't, did the protest, the u. s. i'm back to the pharmacy i a didn't meet with, particularly regarding natural resources, exports a good afternoon. i don't want to go out and i feel real thing alive from moscow is just part of the hour. and it's great to have you with us. i'm run him on. let's take a look at today's top stories. the treasury 2nd sir, is on a lengthy tour of africa,

washington to strengthen its ties with the continent. her agenda so far has a bit focus on and in writing, russia and china, blaming them for troubles in the region, which is war and weapon ization of food is exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man present in poon, is creating an unnecessary drag on africa's economy. we believe that the international community, including china, needs to provide meaningful debt relief to help countries regain their funding. de la dylan did not. mens her words as she is trying to portray a counterweight to the influence that the americans see as the chinese having on the continent as well as the russians. she said that she blames russia and

therefore trained to solicit the same kind of the motive emotions from her captive audience that she blames rush hour for africa's exists the brain tint food shortage problem. she also says that the continent must be weary about unfettered chinese loans, which she says are highly collateralized and can present a dead trip for their said countries. and she has presented the case of zambia as a, as a cautionary tale if you will, to other african states that, that the chinese are dragging their feet when it comes to talking about that reform in that country. but china only holds a 3rd of zombie as that. the real question is, who hold the 2 thirds? and that is western multi lateral institutions that have continuously not lead the way either because they haven't been a reason why they can't push through on this agenda. jenna dylan says that america

is here and it's back and is going to impress upon africans as the pardon of trace . she says that they will be making invest into the continent, but they will also be demanding transparency from the said government and accountability. and she says that her government and the g 7 as a whole will try and impress upon multi lateral banks to look more failing to was developing countries specifically in africa and to have and developing agenda in mind. now a couple of things that come to mind as an observer of such movements and such rhetoric from the americans. is that why is it only happening now that the multi lateral banks should focus on when the development agenda of africa, when it could have clearly happened?

such a long time ago, there was nothing stopping it for shore. and another thing is that the americans are really worried about the influence of china and russia on the continent. and you can really see that they're trying very hard to impress upon these economies. that the petro dollar should survive, because they fear that a, in this multi polarity world, that africa might not necessarily side with them. another part of this re, of the visit, of course, is to impress upon the states than wouldn't be hosting a american top senior officials coming into the continent that didn't take it seriously. i also understand that among some of the visits that we should be expecting the. busy see if that of american president, mr. joe biden. of course this visit by general dylan builds upon a visit that we had last year in august by the u. s. secretary of state, mister anthony, blinking, who also tried to present america as a, as

a country that is very much interested in africa and no one, none of these top officials from the united states have ever dared to mention the fact that they have been absent for 56 years, the fact that there hasn't been any meaningful american investment on the continent, and that african countries would not be where they are without the support, without the trade, without the investments that they received from china, as well as russia visit by general dell and thought of the synagogue and also tied down in zambia as well as here in south africa. so there is still more to the story and more to come. germany has been defiant against us. pressure still made no decision about sending advanced leopard to buy food. thanks to ukraine, even though he has been asking for them for a long time. but as a name to meeting was held up there, i understand that military base in germany,

many of us thought that's today lou. and have a breakthrough in the discussion about heavy metal pence. you didn't mentioned that at all. i don't have any announcements to make on your watch. and you heard the, the german minister of the french say that, but not 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 used 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 veg 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 old us patriot missile 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 is 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 is week, never report citing senior pentagon officials, including under secretary for defense 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 us. 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 diverge 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, zalinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministers meeting in germany . pollings 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 okay to run around 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 this crowd 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 . aerial drones have become major means of warfare and the fight for dumbass the aircraft to use the conduct thing recognizance operations as was destroy any

positions artes at senior correspondent, mud garcia, reports on the ground these close to the front lines. roads are immortal. hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover even that scant. aah! valesh the closest they are is 700 meters away at 3 o'clock through in a total of 3 directions. also a 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock. our boys are there to their rotating today. they're doing well in this area was recently seized from ukrainian forces. they know every path, every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions. must be extra careful. drones guide them along. ah,

we're scouting ahead to make sure that the way is clear and that our boys will get there safely. these soldiers are all volunteers of the act, my battalion answering to the church and president rams, and could thereof, to ensure everything went smoothly. a flaw support team armed with an automatic grenade launcher, was ordered to dissuade the enemy from trying anything. some of the most intense rising he's underway, ukrainian units are desperate to reverse russian gains along the river. here through the rotation was the success. but as the drone flew back, it noticed something unusual. fresh fortifications and enemy troops concealed under

the tree cover, or espana we've discovered enemy positions at a distance of 450 to 750 meters away from us. their group targets enemy fortifications, armor and vehicles. within minutes coordinates were reported to h q and the orders went out to nearby artillery m l blue bay. the mission had changed. they were now to keep it a distance and correct artillery fire bel corrections were relayed. the next parish struck home. although i'm on my list, i'll fight this is biker, right on the target. repeat. this is modern warfare. this is the dominant form of combat across the front lines artillery and drones, in a seamless lethal link on the front lines,

soldiers have learned to fear drones. they always watch and listen for the characteristic buzz that harolds a barrage of iron, fire, and shrapnel, or ad gazda of r t from le ganske or russian jolissa was reporting near don bartel. the dawn was front line has been transported to moscow after being severely wounded in an artillery strike among those who met her at an air base in most the region was archie correspondence softeners, fresh air force, plain caring of wood that before just landed at the military airport near moscow on friday, a group of russian correspondents came under fire near the front line in the city of salazar. one reporter was wounded in the shelling and the seal sequoia corresponding for russian online use, outlet, read of co, sustained serious injuries. her knee and heap of badly fractured an 18 year old

native of august people's republic has been reporting from the high dispatch of the ukrainian conflicts for more than 6 months now to get in as they see out of the battle ground the fighters of the wagner group requested artillery support and then carried the wounded journalist to a hospital in the city of bit of a mice in the login's, the people's republic. and wagner fired and named storm was the one who brought anesthesia to safety. i heard her screaming and saw how she fell into the street from a station building. i quickly ran up to her, took her and dragged her by her body armor inside away from the window. i saw her left leg was injured with shrapnel. i stopped the bleeding and waited until the reserve group came to collect us. rush us 1st deputy chief of staff over the presidential administration, is personally overseeing the situation and has helped to organize honest, i c. s. transportation to moscow for further treatment. wireless. and i think as, as a south america, at least one person was roof or the leak kill them all. the men does a wounded in

a voc stand off between protesters and believes in peru this week. ah, that was, it is made up mainly of indigenous people, tried to storm an airport in the nation's 2nd biggest city, but has stopped my police crashes, have been sleeping peru for more than a month now with protesters demanding the resignation of president. do you know what day we put off is 12 months after her pre dismissal outfit? the head of faith says the situations under control claiming addresses the field from abroad. meanwhile, peruse feature that of its natural resources have been up for discussion. the ear battered to the south american country of former c. i. agent has met with peruse energy minister to thought business. the mystery laid to release

a statement expressed in gratitude to you. as for the support of the sensor minister, vera thanked the u. s. government for its support on mining and energy issues and reiterated the will of the national government, whose priority is the massive vacation of natural gas, energy security and petrochemical development in the south of the country. peru is a key glo produce of copper, silver, and zinc, with the claim. majority of the countries exports about 50 percent coming from the mining and extraction sector. the rest of the country that's was about amount to just over 40 percent. the asset present, pedro casias says the u. s. a long fly to have them troll over, peruse, lucrative, mineral resources. the visit of the u. s. 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 defenceless people, and incidentally, to leave the way clear for mining exploitation. there is an interesting coincidence in this story, the usaa master, uproot lisa camera who previously worked for the cia report. we met with the south american countries, defense ministry, or maybe the then president was to pose last month. we heard from latin american give extra sure. who sees washington's hand in the over for the peruvian lead. lisa ken is a long time employee of the ca, 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 in do a meeting with former generals who are now ministers in the. ready

unelected government of dina about why thing, but it's amazing how quick lisa kenna and the rest of the state department officials in the biden administration were to rubber stamp this too and get behind it because it means the the nationalization of peruvian resources rose, 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 it, the sanction this is the same, a playbook that we saw and some of she lose neighbors. this is what happens for new go in, in part of why is what happens is a lie different doris. and when any type of by national is anti imperialist true patriot, left leaning, president comes into power. the u. s. immediately sees them as a threat is to quote you on must be very proud the posted on twitter. they're willing to qu anybody any time whenever they please. some us officials think

there's not enough of a us presence in latin america. it's double nice, in general, has, on washington's leads that the us and the step of its game to compete with the great influence of russia and china in the region. this is very concerning to me, to see the tentacles of the people's republic of china in the countries of the western hemisphere. we are very much in a strategic competition in the western hemisphere. i total of 9 countries have ration equipment in them and we are working to replace that rash and equipment with united states equipment. we have a lot at stake. this region matters. it has a lot to do with national security. we need to step up our game. geral, laura richardson, hes the u. s. southern. come on. responsible for security. cooperated in central and south america. it also includes a protection of washington military assets there. this is not the 1st time that

richardson i emphasize the strategic importance of the region. the u. s. especially is rich resources. 3 genesis, so rich and resources. it's off the charts, rich. 60 percent of the world's lithium is in the region. you have heavy crude, you have light, sweet crude. you have rare earth elements. there are adversaries that are taking advantage of this region every single day, right in our neighborhood. and i just look at what happens in this region and terms of security impacts our security, our national security, ah, in the home land and in the united states, orphans has relation to some of his latin american neighbors have been particularly strange since last year. when it refused to invite the leaders of cuba, when, as well, and the correct word to a summit of the americas, that it was hosting. meanwhile,

china and russia have been increasing investment in the region, including for critical infrastructure, as well as providing mentoring equipment. we heard from a principal expert who says the us stance of our gym on a crew over the western hemisphere is no longer fits with the rising multiple world . well, i think that for most americans, their interests are not the same as the interest of the pentagon or the interest of wall street. so in my view, american people have and have a great influence in latin america. it just cannot be in the, in the form of oppression or in the form of a subjugation of the peoples or the plundering of their natural resources of latin america. so who should worry is the pentagon is, was street because what they want is to maintain that relationship of dependence from latin america towards the u. s. the, all on the road doctrine to call latin america. it's bad yard or as president biden

said, it front yard ultimately latin america should be free and indeed is becoming more. busy and more free being able to think its partners, its allies, its relations throughout the world. and russia and china are 2 great powers that one cannot help. but to have some relation, when there is no country that due to ideological preferences, can afford to ignore russia or china. by nissan economy. hosting tools as rushes help energy official on increasing rushing fuel supplies to the south asian country, particularly through the proposed dental gas pipeline practice downstream. all to manage to catch up with both officials, amid the tools and it is i'm about bog. assad's policy is to have good relations with all countries on reciprocal bases on equal basis. we don't want to fight

anyone. we don't want to get into the pushing pool. so we want to stay as the are, have good tradition with all countries, respect all countries and move on sucrose or use abuser. we're already working on all the logistics from insurance to payment and they will be included in the agreement that is planned for march. it's not a lot of time, but there is some progress. but this is an intention coming from the pakistani side to provide support on all issues. friday of next is an interview in non chomsky check that on going underground will be back to the top of the out. i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people.

a robot must obey the orders given it 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 great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even forente shouldn't let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with

one another admiral, who are you open up the door more real to what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. and grill. oh, you know, to production it was it's, i guess she'll she'll book it that they're not good. you know, to learn you son. new rochelle? ah, he unmoved monica gentle,

i'm african or dancey and welcome back to going under ground ra, gusting, or on the world from dubai. in the united arab emirates, this week the u. n. revealed up to 50 percent more journalist immediate workers were killed in 2022 compared to previous years. that's a dead journalist every 4 days with accusations of miss reporting, fake news and war propaganda by the modern day, so called mainstream media. is it any wonder that last year was the deadliest? no one in the anglo phone world has had such a profound effect with our understanding of the nato nation propaganda model of journalism than one of the most cited living scholars in the world. no. m. chomsky in the past 24 hours, he has called for you came us authorities to release wiki leaks, founder julian assange tortured according to the un by the british in london. the father of modern linguistics and co author of manufacturing consent joins me now from so arizona, thank you so much, professor chomsky for coming back on going underground router a why that quite
