or to school, i don't know who she's appointed. a homeless youth with russia says berlin's decision to send tanks. a is a serious escalation. also stating bread lines no longer exists for the was we are fighting a war against russia and not against each other. and germany's foreign minister says that you should unite and it's war against russia. despite polls showing most people oppose a decision as the countries officials previously pledge to stay out of the fight. china says the us better mind its own financial problem instead of accusing beijing of being responsible for the economic crisis across the african continent.

with good evening from r t international studios in moscow, from wherever you may be watching. welcome to the hours key stories from all around the globe. i'm fear ella is about russia, says berlin is not seeking a peaceful resolution to the ukraine conflict, and it's focused on permanent escalation. that's germany has caved in an approved setting 14 of its main battle. thanks to ukraine, following months of pressure from nato allies. and but should of this damsel to get a minute, you, once again, we see that germany, like its closest allies, is not interested in a diplomatic solution to the crane crisis. it is focused on this permanent escalation and unlimited pumping of the key regime with more and more deadly weapons. red lines are a thing of the past. as a 1st step, germany will provide

a company of 14 leopard to a 6 tanks from boone despair. stocks of a european partners will also hand over leopard to tanks. the training of the ukrainian cruise is to begin immediately in germany. germany will issue the appropriate transfer permit to partner countries that want to quickly deliver leopard to tanks from their stocks to ukraine. at the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe on tuesday, germany is foreign minister called on the you to unite, and it's war effort against russia. and therefore i have sent already in the last days. yes, we have to do more to defend ukraine. yes, we have to do more also on tanks. but the most important in the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in europe because we are fighting a war against russia and not against each other. thank you. this is really just all

about projecting unity appear exercise. essentially berlin said that it wouldn't send modern leopard tanks and less washington sent its abrams tanks. apparently it was enough for word to come out of washington on tuesday that the u. s. would do that for germany to probably take a flying leap, sending 14 of its own leopards, and allowing other european countries to send theirs as well. so now germany finds itself a leading the way in escalating a military conflict for europe and the west. yeah, that's always turned out super well. so it's hardly surprising that some german politicians are pretty upset about this right now. the delivery of leo pon battle tanks, which leapt another taboo, potentially takes us closer to world war 3 than towards peace in europe. the decisions are contained in making germany a war policy doesn't have the support of the majority of the population. lip, how tanks all the prelude to a possible sly towards a catastrophe. so the german public is split on the tag issue, an m d r survey found that 94 percent of listeners are against the deliveries. but

that was before the broadcaster said that it wasn't representative. yeah, that would kind of be a bidding convenient. according to an infra tests survey, 54 percent of germans were in favor of sending the tanks and the a r d morning magazine found 46 percent in favor. so roughly split half, 4 and half against sending the tanks, but no real sign of any massive public outcry and germany to send these tanks to ukraine if that people say ever mattered. remember, foreign affairs minister anna lena bear box said not that long ago that she personally would do what it took for ukraine, regardless of what germans thought. so now it's a race to see whose tanks can get blown up. first. it's hard to imagine this playing out any other way because it's not like there's air superiority to protect them. there have also been issues with german fighting vehicles in the past. it's puma, infantry fighting vehicles, didn't survive a recent military exercise,

none as in 0 of these vehicles were operational afterwards. and he's left for 2 tanks, the same ones heading to crane or used by turkey against isis and syria and ended up destroyed by things like anti tank missiles. i eas rockets and mortars actual poo m as in leopard, should probably sue for defamation. it sounds like these cat vehicles are more ready for a petting zoo than for battle. and apparently they're also high maintenance to and it's unclear whether the ukrainians will have the training necessary to maintain and handle these leopards. the whole take issue is mainly a p r exercise that allows nato to project unity just a few days ago. nato had an image problem with western press report, suggesting a fracture of the alliance over the tank issue. but actual western military experts have expressed skepticism over the real value of these tanks on the battlefield.

how any one thinks that 14 challenger tags or 14, the leopard tanks or 14 am, was, will make any damn difference is beyond my imagination. you have the feeling that in washington we got to get the most out of our investment in this ukraine proxy war. and you do that by postponing an end to the conflict. you drag it out and drag it out. but that seems to be the strategy or the goal of the current strategy if you want to call it. oh, but guess what tanks getting blown up means that more have to be made. which means that the undisputed winner of this whole tank debate is the military industrial complex. don't take my word for it, just ask ukrainian president, fly moore's lensky and ruwan can become a big business by working with ukraine in all sectors, from weapons and defense, to construction from communication to agriculture, from transfer to i. t,

from banks to madison. everybody can make money in weapons sector working with you . craig clarity, it looks like the american abrams tanks won't arrive by the spring, thus, according to western press report, citing u. s. officials. so the leopards will be 1st up in this circus. and also in the firing line, and everyone will be watching to see how they manage with their jumping through the flaming hoops test. maybe the u. s. can even sell europe some replacements for those, particularly if they fail and leave the audience disappointed. germany, which had previously abstained from providing heavy weaponry to ukraine over fears of being viewed as a party to the conflict, has now along with washington gone back on their pledges. disregarding previous precautions, us republican senator michael mccaul seems to have made a 180 degree turn on the matter as well. should ukraine be worried that the money

is going to stop coming from the us? no, no. i think there's enough support on both sides. the aisle majority in the democratic party majority in the republican, the national security chairman like myself, supports us we. we have to educate our members. i don't think that quite understand what is at stake. so it was just before the last election november that michael mccaul, that guy was saying, no, we really should audit all these billions we've sent to zalinski and his wife and craigs. we've no idea where the money went and we should know before we send more. now is just saying no, the only group in america doesn't need to worry you. you have to where you can afford eggs. but so lensky and his wife don't have to worry cuz we're never going to stop sending them billions of dollars. rouse niemeyer, chairman for the german council for constitution and sovereignty says that germany's delivering of tanks to ukraine breaks a number of international treaties and makes germany a direct party to the war and ukraine. it is

a violation of article assassin off to you and charter, which clearly says that we cannot, nobody can legally send arms into a zone of conflict. so that is number one. secondly, what is also clear is that nato trade t article 5 credit is violated because ukraine is not a member of nato. and we only allowed to move our military within the defense of nato territory. and of course, german law because article 26 of our basic law, which some people say is our constitution is prohibiting us from participating from anything other than defending ne, 2 territory. since 1945, we do not have a peace treaty. we just have a ceasefire. agreement to potsdam agreement, we never got our full serenity. and that means now russia can argue of course and

say, well germany has violated ceasefire of 1945. so having said so that doesn't leave us. we are becoming a direct party in a war. earlier we spoke to italian journalist under our lucida, after his recent trip to don bass, where he covered events outside of the western medias. narrative, the visit, got him placed on a potential terror watch list in europe. he says, the e, you needs an enemy, and right now that has to be russia. i am include that in the essay. yes, lisa says, shank and information system about the potential saturdays and potential are still fair suns in europe. now europe needs enemy and this enemy needs to be rush. this is a very, very say it very said and make a lot of problem for person likes me that work with information about,

about what's in europe. the media said about the bus. totally totally fake. and the media now are science on most when you say that there is a rational pe shown russian invasion, county federal county, it's the faith that is the people nor my people i. i've seen those with the press and so they're so with the personal of the people in the business and it's normal people's also the soul, normal guys like ad for example, like they tell in the, in the fussy or so we're getting some what is the difference because the, with the media say that are like most, that's the want to rape,

to see levity. everything's isn't there yet. there's not fear rushes, top diplomat survey live, rob has praise moscow's growing relations within the african continent. during his latest official visit to angola, he went on to slam the west, the financial pressure on developing states for proposing to create new currencies within the brakes and other frameworks is of the same distance with his actions. the west has proved, as it can tremble at any moment on all the values and mechanisms of globalization that it itself created and promoted. including the viability of property fair competition, and the presumption of innocence, just as it can betray its allies at any moment, which was proved not so long ago in afghanistan, iraq, undoing the so called arab spring. serious self respecting countries are well aware

of what is at stake. they see what the owners of the current international monetary and financial system are capable of. and want to create their own mechanisms to ensure sustainable development, which will be protected from outside dictates it is in this direction. this initiatives are moving, which were voice recently just the other day on the need to think about creating a single currency within the brick framework. and the framework of the association of latin american and caribbean states. and this in particular, will certainly be discussed at the brick summit in south africa, the end of august to which a group of african countries have been invited, including as i understand it, the president of angola angle is the 3rd stop of the leaders african tor on tuesday laugh rob was in as what teeny were a visa, free travel agreement for diplomats was fine. it was the 1st visit by a russian foreign minister to the kingdom since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1999. on monday, oliver, i've also spoke with his south african counterpart,

a local correspondent in angola centers her report, and how the meeting went. russia forming ministers, jag 11 visits to angle that is like that homecoming of the north front in this part of africa. russia was one of angled, let's try and get some word during the cold war period. and during it, see the word after independence for over 3. back at this, russia and angola had the had it here from diplomatic relationship based on the common interest in the military and the same physics for and the belief that all trades that countries i now straightening those ties. barden, russia is done gala as a strategic partner in southwestern africa, and, and lawless is russia as a partner in each economic integration region, our security and the scientific inventors. late last year, russia assisted angola in the line, showing a communications fidelity. alanna was one of only 19 countries that need to not

vote for sanction against russia in the united nation. so it's not confidence that russia in angola, both by producing countries are looking at way to improve beloved said o relation and cooperation. like many out of the african countries, angola is now also looking east for economic solution to china, russia and india. because after many decade as the current the continent ties to western countries have not healed is sufficiently positive results for the african people. meanwhile, zombie has been put in the middle of a diplomatic spat between china and the u. s. beijing has criticized washington and its relations with africa after the us treasury secretary accused the country of failing to help zambia saw that step problems. even if the u. s. one day souls, its debt problem, it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against or press for other

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 like on the saw me breaks down the latest 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 began 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. who also know that the russian foreign minister is also on the continent and solidifying. we know that he wasn't as far as the land 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 wars and instability among many african countries, while china was making those integrals in terms of policy making, it has made, made investments, most of which have been loans to the zambian nation. however, we've seen 2 upgrades of a ports. we've seen, dams, we've seen telecommunications roads, many off the countries infrastructure has been developed over the years. and ensuring that zambia is not equal to many of its african counterparts with regards to being able to employ comically active with the kind of infrastructure that has been placed on that on the country. the inroads made by china in this ambien region has really benefited that region in terms of economic growth and can only seem to

benefit them even more. the russian defense ministry has released footage of its admiral guard cause warship holding drills in the western atlantic. the crew conducted an exercise on involving its hypersonic zircon missile, utilizing a computer simulation. the admiral guards called will then go on to take part, enjoy exercises alongside chinese and south african bobby's in the end of february . ah, now as the ukraine conflict, escalades a 30 year old publication by george soros has resurfaced casting further. dow on the western narrative that nato and its allies have no stake in the conflict. the bellingers piece discusses how crises could be manipulated by the u. s. for its own goals, through the use of 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 enhanced 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. all 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 that an allies might be interested in using countries across the eastern europe as proxy by 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 as 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, i did, 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 kia is having you as web and smiled into it's i 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 we may have seen over a 100000 dan. they are being carried out and people are dying to serve nato goal. and he has recently admitted this is what been said, shouldn't cra, isla, is in the mindful 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. jesse. 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 deanna coverage government in 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 changed, it could be stabilizer, region or, or the world? well, 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 leaders 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 an old narrative where ukraine is. you

simply being targeted, it's a democratic country, just begging for help. it doesn't fit it. all. this is part of geopolitical maneuvers. how things ambassador to the e says european officials have condemned israel's atrocities against palestinians. he made the statement after high level talks and brussels, the envoy also says the e as opposed israeli efforts to seize funds from palestinian authorities. according to reports, europe is preparing an aid deal, including a $325000000.00 grant for palestinians. meanwhile, palestine foreign ministry has called on the west to put pressure on israel to stop the demolition of a village in the occupied west bank. the play comes after residents came out to protest against the destruction by israel. the crisis in the village which lates the west banks north and south is part of it is really planned to destroy,

so called illegal buildings. locals have voiced or fury over the move and what are people came today to tell that's in the yahoo? bend of ear and all the extremist right wing officials that this land is palestinian. we did not allow the destruction of our hon ala bart, this government led by now and yahoo had been given. we'll go to the dustbins of history, and the palestinian flag will continue to fly on this land. and we'll do that. we existed on the sloane before this railway government came unoccupied. it a message to this railway occupation. we will not leave this place. this is all property and we will remain here, and i am not, we are afraid that al canal archman may be demolished because have been fears, actions. his electoral campaign was to demolish al con 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,

takes pow palestinians from their lands. and i'm kind of necessity up out of subject it to the process that's been viewed 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 for an independent. this is also another app that we can any potential for the so called to sticks. so in my opinion, these are very danger that act and this would be stopped immediately and they can be stopped only with union business on the ground as well as a senior. but national pressure on israel threatening with boy cut divestment sanctions. if it does not stop the processes of ethnic cleansing and then,

but more than that, this is really government include. people who describe even in israel and especially the out of video in their goal is really to destroy the potential for being. and they continue to declare that the whole file is fine, but it's fun is exclusive for jewish b on. so practically what, what can be called as jewish supremacy of apartheid and racism. i did go there, which will not be fulfilled. i hope is to expel from the land and the question here, not only but also to consider life day and i did this and you. why do you stand it? why didn't 55 years of military completion of bent? and if you move on, as well as 75 years of ethnic cleansing, not as soon good faction was used against, allowing him to be above the little above,

international law. impunity to responsibility in front of international law. this has led to the creation of the most recent government and i see of the students. and that is one of the results of this international behavior that continues to use double standard when it comes to posting in those are the hour's top stories from all around for more up to the minute news updates and content head over to r t dot com and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble, and god, thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back at the top of the hour. ah ah ah luis to come to the russian state will never be tied as i'm phoning most landscape div asking him then the english

also made it within the 50 babel been okay, so my niece gardens, anyone else with we will ban in the european union? the kremlin, yup. machine. the state aunt, rush up to date and split our t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube. with me. ah

ah . mm lou rama and she'll have it completed sabotaged training and get done. and served in 3rd reich units as an as as captain as secondary command of the enough the gul battalion, he trained ukrainian nationalist cadets. he was awarded to merit crosses and a nazi metal along with bon dera. he had been an o. u and member from the age of 19 ah.
