analysis from western governments and their ply and media then, you know, very little about the conflict in ukraine. the fact is, ukraine is losing. on this edition of cross talk, we discussed how this conflict is likely to a closer to world war 3. that's the warning from some german politicians after berlin reportedly agreed to send this advance tanks, team frame after months of pressure from nato ally also does our a roof, the controversial new president does. she's agree to resign. as soon as this map election can be a us better minded those financial problems. instead of accusing beijing and being responsible for the economic crisis and african

countries like sam, b and palestinians urge the west to help stop the israeli demolition of a key village and the occupied west bank has local spent anger over the destruction of their po and will you do, we exist on the slam before they israel, we call them them, came unoccupied, a message to the railway occupation. we will not leave please. this is all property and we will remain here with coming to live from the russian capital. this is our international. i rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. germany has reportedly caved in and approved sending its main battle tanks to ukraine after months of resisting pressure from nato allies and key at this decision, which is not yet been officially announced, has already been condemned by some german politicians. the left party chair co

chairman and parliament says the move would bring us closer to world war 3. the delivery of lee upon battle, tang switch leaped another taboo potential. it takes us closer to wardrobe 3 than towards peace in europe. the decision to continue making germany a war party doesn't have the support of the majority of the population. la tanks are the prelude to a possible sly towards a catastrophe. alleys, 14 german lumper tanks will reportedly a provided to ukraine and several other western countries say they're ready to send even more. berlin is also expected to allow poland to hand over some of its german, made leopards to key at berlin had previously stopped short of providing such heavy weapons to ukraine over fears of being seen as a party, to the conflict and provoking russia. some of the critics in berlin say the government is more worried about pleasing as nato allies, while ignoring what the move could spell for germans,

who still remember the tragedy of the 2nd world war. this is shannon into santa anderson. this is an interesting approach that you were taking here, saw german tanks against russian ukraine. your grandfather's already tried that by the way, almost back then with melnick and ben dera. and what was the result? unspeakable suffering were millions of deaths on both sides. and in the end, russian tanks here in berlin, bill, 2 of them are even here, standing outside. you should walk past them every morning and remember that. so reach us. we're constantly press and the government's in billing to make them share their la pots. i would urge my german colleagues, i to do that if you can meet a, a need that the ukrainians have. then you know, we obviously want to see you do that. labor in human rights lawyer dangled. alec says it's clear that berlin didn't want to send his tanks to ukraine, but was forced to do so by the us and its allies. it's disheartening from

a number of perspectives. first of all, it's just going to add fuel to the fire. it's just gonna lead to the deaths more ukrainians, and more russians in most likely won't change the outcome of the war. but also it has to be seen as a sad day procurement. a who said it was not going to send tanks and clearly the u . s. pressure germany to do so. even the head of nato communicated to the u. s. to germany would not be sending the tags unless the u. s. would send their own tags. but again, germany's been strong armed and pressured and doing this has to be seen as a green flag to countries that want to intervene more into this war. so it's a bad sign. it's assigned the west is going to continue to double down on the military support of ukraine. again, which will do nothing but increase the suffering of the cranium. people. it seems

to me that all of this is going against the interest of german. they've pretty much shot themselves in the foot by foregoing russia natural gas, which of course, an hello american beg your beg for the nord stream to, to be bill. you know, so none of this is to the advantage of germany. it seems to me that germany is doing all this out of pressure from the united states. the us itself is reportedly also finalizing plans to send its abrams main battled thanks to ukraine. the decision is expected to be an hour later this week. american officials have so far declined to share any details. russia's ambassador to the u. s. so the move would show the world who is really the aggressor and ukraine. an analysis of the whole sequence of washington's actions demonstrates that the americans are constantly raising the bar of military assistance to their pockets. if the u. s, decides to supply tanks, then justifying citrus that with arguments about defensive weapons will definitely

not work. this would be another blatant provocation against russia. no one should have any illusions about who is the real aggressor in the current conflict. this kind of as your current president employee for even more western weapon by calling his country a big business opportunity for army suppliers. we've got the details of how you frame is increasingly turning into a testing ground for nato fire power and the details of who's making the big back on our website r t dot com. as the west spends more weapons to ukraine to be used against russia, some european critics say, the tragic lessons of history are being forgotten. the grandson of france's world war 2 era hero charles de gaulle has spoken up against the arm slow, which has landed him and hot water on the homefront. russia was seen by my grandfather as an indispensable rear ally because it was part of his concept of

balance in europe. a pro russian who owns it. that's how one of frances taught newspapers, lafitte who has just described a piano good while asking quote, what has gotten into this advisory strategy and corporate finance holder of a master's degree in swiss resident to venture out at the age of 59 in the controversy where there are only blows to take if the name sounds familiar, it should be able to go to the grandson of world war 2 era french general turned french president shout the good who is routinely ranked at the very top of the list of favorite french historical figures. alongside napoleon bonaparte or shangdorf, joan of arc or scientists, re pester and navi cutie de go led the french resistance against the nazis during world war 2. he then kicked the americans off a french military bases when they figured they might just want to stick around afterwards. he pulled france out of nato to secure the country's military autonomy

. and here's what the girl said about russia at the time for france and russia being united means being strong and being separated means sending up in jeopardy. truly, it is a categorical imperative of geography experience and common sense. the goal aimed trade deals with the soviet union who support against nazi germany. he considered critical during the 2nd world war. he also saw moscow as critical in preventing france from becoming a vast the state of washington. and now his grandson piano. the girl has stepped forward to express his regret that france is marching in lock step with washington and nato. the same very entities from which his grandfather tried to protect frances independence, adding that he quote, felt it was my duty to restore the truth as the heir of the general. so the general's grandson is being slammed by critics, by the likes of lucy, yahoo!

as being pro russian when his position really just is pro france and looking out for french interests 1st and foremost, current french president emanuel my call has repeatedly claimed admiration for president to go by has exemplified us, gets a frantic mindset of wanting to be a partner of russia, well nonetheless, falling in line with washington's agenda, for example, advocating for a negotiated piece in the ukraine conflict before then calling for an outright ukrainian when or late saying that russia's interests matter until western critics pylon come after him for the remark. and then he just backs down diego placed equal value in relationships with both the us and russia. with the french people being the top priority at all costs and all types. now it's hard to imagine de god telling french citizens as my home did amid the you praying conflict that the time

of abundance, when it comes to energy, is over. all because washington decided that it was time to pick a fight with russia that hard france in europe, energy interested well, french just decided to go along with it. speaking of which it was thanks to the girl that france became energy and dependent in the 1st place through the construction of nuclear power plants, the same no how. who sail mac hole green lit to pentagon contractor general electric. when he was francis economy minister, p l. the girl is simply serving up a reminder of what the mainstream french position visa, the moscow used to be. back when france was becoming great. again, the fact that the position of one of the most beloved figures in french history is now considered controversial, and even a tackle just goes to show that the country really did take a wrong turn somewhere to south america,

not where per is president. dina bullard say, has announced that she is prepared to step down, but only as soon as the date of his snap election is determined by congress. you made a, i will leave when the congress members vote and call general elections. the only thing i want my fellow citizens is that we work together in this desire to have a developed united and a strong country in it. and how does the protocol, what are the streets of nemo day to day man, the president's resignation? police weighed in with a heavy handed response. the clashes lasted several hours with police firing tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters. people were heard chanting dina assassin, blaming the president for dozens of deaths and st. riots which flared up after previous president. major castillo was deposed and replaced by bullard tay last month. with china has criticized washington

and its relations with africa. after the us treasury secretary accused beijing of failing to help zambia salve its debt problems. even if the u. s. one day sold 6 debt problem, it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against all press for all the countries out of selfish interests. because it cannot at all alleviate us. tremendous responsibility for the reason of the world debt issues. south african journalists that day almost only breaks down the late as diplomatic spat between the us and china. the tensions between washington and beijing is based on the increasing geopolitical tensions between the current nations. i mean, washington is seeing beijing as a country that is making very big inroads within the african continent and is focused on that military power and the economic influence that it has on the continent. they also worried that the influence that china now has on africa will

soon surpassed that of the u. s. i mean the u. s. has gone on to accuse china of making inroads with regards to unfair trade and also taking out the natural resources unfairly on the african continent. but of course, china has come on to say that all the a cooperation as well as the trade agreements between themselves and the african continent have been above board and rather for the benefit of the african people. now we do know that in the last week the us treasury secretary jenna t. ellen has been on the african continent, her state again on saturday in senegal. and this comes weeks after china had already come on to the continent to solidify some of the relations that it has made inroads with the continent of a number of decades. we also know that the russian foreign minister is also on the continental solidifying. we know that he was in swaziland in south africa and now in angola,

and as typical of the western jaelyn came out to say that the chinese have contributed towards the debt that has been accumulated. in zambia, we do know that zambia has had very close ties with china with regards to some of the influence and the economic growth in that country. now it's quite typical of the u. s. as we do know that they are trying to weaken the relations that the chinese have with the african continent, but a little too late. since we do know that the americans have spent more time not solidifying they stance in terms of growing africa. but all the in creating was and instability among many african countries. while china was making those inroads in terms of policy making, it has made many investments, most of which have been loans to the zambian nation. however, we've seen 2 upgrades of the a ports we've seen, dams, we've seen telecommunications roads, many of the countries infrastructure has been developed over the years in ensuring

that zambia is not equal to many of its african counterparts with regards to being able to be more economically active, but the kind of infrastructure that has been placed on that and that country. the inroads made by china in the zambian region has really benefited that region in terms of economic growth and can only seem to benefit them even more. meanwhile, russia's foreign minister has moved on to get another nation during his latest tour of africa. sir gala rob is due to sit down with officials in angola. later on wednesday on tuesday, lazarus barbara was in s y t meet. where a decent 3 travel agreement for diplomats was signed. it was the 1st visit by a russian foreign minister to the king, them since the establishment of diplomatic relations back in 1999. on monday lab rav spoke with his counterpart in neighbouring south africa, where they agreed to combine efforts to boost the african countries, atomic energy grid, and other infrastructure. stay with us for the latest on live,

robs moves in angola to day. ah, palestine their master to the e. u says european officials have condemned israel's atrocities against palestinians while speaking during a meeting on tuesday. the envoy also says the e u has opposed is reli moves to seize funds from palestinian authorities. according to reports, europe is preparing a deal with a $325000000.00 grant to palestinians. meanwhile, palestine foreign ministry is called on the west to pressure israel to drop the demolition of a village any occupied west bank. the fleet comes after residents came out to protest against destruction by israel. the crisis in the village which links the west banks north and south, is part of an israeli plant to destroy so called the legal buildings. locals have voice their fury over the move from one. what are people came today to tell nuts in

the yahoo been good beer and all the extremist right wing officials that this land is palestinian. we did not allow the destruction of our hon. allah march. this government led by the and yahoo had been good beer will go to the dustbins of history, and the palestinian flag will continue to fly on this land. the animal did. we existed on the slam before the israel solomon came unoccupied. it a message to the israeli occupation. we will not leave this place. this is our property, and we will remain here. now i am not. we are afraid that al canal clar may be demolished because have been fears, actions. his electoral campaign was to demolish al khan, alack, mar, and he is now forced to do so. the head of the palestinian national initiative party told us the real goal of the current israeli government is to expel palestinians from their land. if i'm kind of like a necessity up out of subject to the process of being the other and

the government to you. if that happens, this will lead different loan because it will be perceived as an act of beginning annexation of the ban of the section of the potential being an independent. this is also another act that will give any potential on the so called to sticks. so in my opinion, these are very danger the facts and this will be stopped immediately and they can be only with the stuff on the ground as well as a serious international pressure on israel. threatening with voice divestment sanctions. if it does not stop the processes of ethnic cleansing and delicacy, but more than that, this is really government includes. the people who are described even in israel fashion, they are very in their goal is really to destroy, i mean,

potential for being. and they continue to declare that the whole palace fine by the sun is exclusive for jewish people. practically that if let's what, what can be called as jewish supremacy, the system of apartheid and racism. a good thing is there we go, which will not be fulfilled. i hope is to expel from the land and the question, not only, but also to come to life and i did this and you. why do you stand it? why didn't 55 years of military in the completion of the bank? and if you move on, as well as 5 years of ethnic cleansing, not as soon good faction was used against, allowing it to be above the low above international law imbued the, to responsibility in front of international law. this has led to the creation of

the most extreme recent government and i feel distributions. and that is one of the results of this international behavior that continues to use double standards when it comes to posting in now, as the ukraine conflict escalate, a 30 year old publication by george soros has resurfaced casting further down on the western narrative that native, when it's outlines have no stake in the conflict. the billionaires piece discusses how crises could be manipulated by the u. s. for its own goals through using european soldiers as cannon fodder instead of americans. the united states would not be called upon to act as the policeman of the world when it acts. it would act in conjunction with others. incidently, the combination of manpower from eastern europe with the technical capabilities of nato would greatly enhance the military potential of the partnership. because it would reduce the risk of body bags for nato countries,

which is the main constraints on their willingness to act. this is a viable alternative to the looming world disorder. or the nato countries continue to insist they are not a party to the conflict, but this document from 1993, published by george soros is open. society institute gives a different impression. this document from 993 lays out how the united states and its allies might be interested in using countries across eastern europe as proxy to bike russia. and they could incur the losses that might make the conflict on popular if nato countries themselves were directly involved. and it was their own soldiers who were doing the dying. now to 2 and 2014, in which the united states over through the ukraine government and installed a fanatically anti russian group to power in kiev, seems to match what this document put forward. what we generally here in western media is that ukraine is simply under attack, turning for help from the democratic west. but jeffrey stack,

the columbia university. he recently came forward and said, that's not the case. the united states is overthrown dozens of governments. it definitely contributed to the overthrow of yanna, ko bitch. and i know this from the inside, not just from the outside. so i just want to be clear. i will do that. i know from top people involved in these issues is what i'm discussing right now. now the soros document not only matches the situation where kiev is, having you as weapons mild into it and being supplied with weapons by the united states. it also matches that the government of poland is very warmongers and hostile to russia. and furthermore, if you look at the situation, there are some estimates that the ukrainian casualty rate it, we may have seen over a 100000 dan. they are being carried out and people are dying to serve nato goal

and yet has recently admitted this is what been said. shouldn't cleaners in the mind through tonight we occuring out nature's mission without the loss of their blood with but with the loss of ours. that's why they need to supply us with weapons. cathy and furthermore, we've had us officials admit that this is indeed the purpose of the conflict in ukraine. it's about serving nato's goals, the united states, age ukraine, and her people, so that we can fight russia over there and we don't have to fight russia here. ultimately, i think this is a sound investment for us national security because not only are we defending a country from authoritarian aggression, not only are we taking one of our biggest geopolitical competitors down several notches in the process and we're doing it without us boots on the ground in harm's way. now it appears that the october government and ukraine wasn't the only

government that the united states had. its eyes on were stirring up some kind of regime change and perhaps using it against russia. any place that you're looking at in terms of a potential regime change that could be stabilized the region or, or the world. obviously a good one would be russia, but i don't think they're on the precipice there. i think things have to get worse economically and there have to be many more body bags and frankly, military losses before there's a change in the government. in, in moscow, we have a very casual statement from western leader that they seek to utilize the lives of people across eastern europe. let them go out and die to serve their own political agenda. and it shows that it's all narrative where ukraine, you simply being targeted, the democratic country just begging for help. it doesn't fit at all. this is part of geo political maneuvers. we spoke with international lawyer and human rights

attorney, our non diva let, who recently visited don bass. he says ukraine is being used by the west as a tool against russia, with civilians caught in the crossfire actually visited this refugee tree center. and a lot of the people that were coming from solid are, and the 1st thing that struck me was that they really looked shocked. i mean that they had gone well, it's early and they'll, it was taken away from them in a way their lutein, their houses were destroyed. and the last, within the fault line right now is what i understand really busy. what is the thief evolution? and there's, i would say, a collapse of the default. and so the civilians are stuck in between. and i, i guess the cab regime is trying to lash out out of frustration on the civilians. the weston already galks deep states. you know, they're using ukraine as

a device as a mechanism as a tool, as it were. and knowing full well that that's going to be blog and it's going to be a broader the nation. it gets bother the nation essentially, but they don't care. those are this just variables for them and now they use a cynicism measure mean of implementing their policy, facts, a stubborn and off whether it's a me or my colleagues and all the people who came before or not the area format. it's an accumulation of facts which shaw consistence systematic. but we're dealing with a problem dealing bearing on cognitive dissonance and as far as the western states are concerned, secret government documents have been found in the house of former us vice

president mike pens. they were discovered by his lawyer, so you've been notified, congressional officials and committees. the records appear to be a small number of documents bearing classified markings that were inadvertently boxed and transported to the personal home of the former vice president. at the end of the last administration, lawyers for pence noted that although the documents are classified, the u. s. department of justice will need to decide whether any regulations were actually broken. the agency is already investigating the cases of classified files found in the florida state of former us president donald trump, as well as incumbent president violence home and former washington office. the justice department says almost $300.00 papers, including top secret markings were taken from trumps former residents, legal and media analyst, lionel. so this unclear who will be responsible for the improper storage of such documents. first, the one after trump. oh my god. you would have thought cache was espionage,

this was the worst being the left media were going crazy edge. well, role there is no excuse joe biden, even said, has this man no decency and i'm embellishing she because there are these places call skips and this is called a sensitive compartment in information facility. and if you've ever seen gets more just like the cone of silence, ok, that was trump. heads will roll. now we fine up. by the way he was president. when he took it in, there's some talk about whether you can declassify these documents. now we jump to joe button. jo biden's documents are found in his garage next to his corvette in boxes that his son and everybody has access to since he was vice president. and in his think tank. how does this happen?

and the question is, who's turning him in? who is, who is that i guess, sounding the alarm. now we have my pants, who's lawyers? why are his lawyers going through top secret? doug? im heads but nobody cares. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah ah

ah, if you've only followed the pronouncements in the so called analysis from western governments and they're ply immediate than you know, very little about the conflict in ukraine. the fact is, ukraine is losing. on this addition of cross stocks, we discussed how this conflict is likely to end ah.
