a. busy a few minutes with you. go so good. i'm not a washington designer to supply care with 30 want to abrams tanks, that saudi off the berlin pronouncement of sending 14 a bit less at times to ukraine. as one is giving that note to allies to do the same . we are fighting a war against russia and not again each other. think germany is 4 minutes is that you should do night. and it's war gainst russia with moscow labeling berlin's decision as a serious escalation on the iraq hundreds to take to the streets in protest, following the plummet of the national currency. last of the country,

the oil continues to be traded in dollars that spark and criticism it's benefiting washington. not that that. ah, welcome is 10 pm here in most go in. this is on the international with the latest world news updates. good to happy with us is our, our top story, washington has announced it. we'll hand over $31.00, the end one abrams tanks and other vehicles to ukraine. biden confirmed the decision claiming gets not aimed as a threat to russia. now, sheet that united states should be sending $31.00 abram tags to ukraine. that's what this is about. helping ukraine defend to protect you crazy land. it is not an offensive threat to russia. there is no offensive fred to russia. less closely follows germany's approval to send 14 of its main battle tanks to ukraine following months of pressure from nato allies and kias. russia has accused berlin of not

encouraging a peaceful solution to the ukraine conflict. santas instead focused on permanent escalation, but should lose hope is damn sister, get a minute cookie. you once again, we see that germany, like it's closest allies, is not interested in a diplomatic solution to the ukraine 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. the land has pledged to provide 14 leopard to a 6 tanks from their bundis fair stalks, as well as to provide the training of ukrainian crews. germany also has promised to issue all the necessary transfer permits to other allies that to want to deliver tanks from their own supplies. the country's foreign minister now calls on e u. member states to unite and i will efforts 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 10th. 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 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 li upon battle tanks, which leapt another taboo potential. it takes us closer to wardrobe 3 than towards

peace in europe. the decisions are contained in making germany a war party doesn't have the support of the majority of the population, lucon 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 in for tests survey, 54 percent of germans were in favor of sending the tags and b 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 in 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 with it. took for ukraine regardless of what germans thought.

so now it's raised to see who's 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 these left for 2 tanks, the same ones heading to crane were used by turkey against isis in syria and ended up destroyed by things like anti tank missiles. i. e d, 's rockets and mortars, actual pumas and 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 all so high maintenance to and it's unclear whether the ukrainians will have the training necessary to maintain and handle these leopards. the whole tank 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 i've express skepticism over the real value of these tanks on the battlefield. how any one thinks it 14 challenger tags or 14, the leopard tanks are 14 am was will make it a damn difference is beyond my imagination. you have the feeling that in washington we've 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 mean 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, flamer zalinski and ruwan can become a big business by walking 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 weapon sector working with you. craig, clearly, it looks like the american abrams tanks won't arrive by the spring. that's 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 every one 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. for my senior political security analysts to michael malay say that the western allies,

announcements and tanks is aimed at increasing psychological pressure rather than changing the situation on the ground. it's mostly psychological. it's there's, there's clearly a reluctance to, to, to send the tanks from a military standpoint in terms of their capabilities. and also there are very limit limitation in numbers and come in at this time and what the logistical necessities would require. it couldn't be met in time if you're going to look at this realistically. so this is been more of a political endeavor by germany and by and by the united states. and i might add that the russians themselves have the t nineties in ukraine and, and the armada says they're called and they're, they're now being fielded in ukraine and they're just as capable as the abrams and

in many respects, him in terms of capability. so, but as i say, given the numbers the ukrainians of estimated, they need 300 tanks to try to turn the, the tide in turn on the battlefield. that there's nowhere near that many going to ukraine from either from germany, from the united states, or even from other countries that the germans have allowed to do to send the apart . so earlier we spoke to italian jolessa andrea, the, she'd be off the, his recent trip to dumbass, where he covered it, then south side of the western media narrative, the visit got him placed on a potential power watch list in europe. he said the, you need an enemy, and right now that has to be russian. i'm included in the say, yes, lisa, shank and information system about the potential saturdays and potential

salesperson 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 personal like me, work with information about russia, about numbers, what's in europe? the media said about numbers, say totally, totally fake. and the media now are science on most when you say that there is a rational pe shown rationing based on my com county. it's the, there's a faith in that is the people nor my people i've, i've seen no rush and so they're so with the person, all of the people in the business and it's normal people's also the soul,

normal guys like for example, like they tell you that the in the fussy are, so we're going to what is the difference? because the, with a media fee that the, some are like most that's the want to raise the level everything isn't there yet. there's not 300. so all the rockies have taken to histories of baghdad in protest against a devaluation of the nation's currency, which has led to the carrier ration and living conditions. demonstrators maybe young people gathered near the central bank carrying flags and listen, a bit of pressure. the government at the local currency, the rockies, and now has recently hit low against us using almost 7 percent of its value since mid november. i'll take contributor chris ends examines how the country go to this

point on the root cause of its financial problems. iraq prime minister has fact to the head of the country, central bank over the total collapse of the national currency, the iraqi dinner. today the central banks governors request for discharge was approved, as was the request for retirement by the president of the trade bank of iraq. despite being one of the world's most oil rich countries. iraq currency continues to plummets. unlike its fellow oil rich nations in the gulf, such as saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, which enjoying all time highs as they capitalize on rising oil prices. iraq is suffering from unprecedented levels of inflation with the cost of living, becoming unaffordable for most people. but why is this happening? you guess it's uncle sam has this thing in the pie yet again, most of iraq's oil wealth is still helping us dollars, instead of in its own suffering currency. it's still even held inside the countries own central bank, but it a current account in the usa. this means that the oil revenues that should support

iraq, suffering currency, a propping up the u. s. economy. instead, everyone knows how the americans use the currency as a weapon to star people. iraq keeps billions of dollars of its assets offshore with the american spec, holding the basketball combat money off to the bush and blair illegal invasion of the country. their so called partners continue to rob the bank and get away with it struggling in iraq by literally holding it to run. so now just imagine the western out quite if russia and china did the same thing, the countries in which they hold significant interest. so is it really any wonder why so many nations are moving away from the so called petro dollar, and seeking to trade in alternative national currencies, or even crypto times running out frontal sam and his rules based order, as it is no longer a question of if but when the clock strikes midnight, the rushes top diplomats took a lamp. ross has praised moscow growing relations on the african continent during his late official visit to go that he went on to critter, science, west,

and financial pressure on developing states proposed the creation of new currencies within the break group on nations and other frameworks. he's up with his actions. the west has proved as it can tremble at any moment on all the values and mechanisms of globalization that it self 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 that 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, russia foreign minister said gala vaux visits to angle that is like that, hon. coming of an old friend in this part of africa. russia was one of and got stronger support during the cold war period. and during it see the word after independence for over 3 back at this russia and on god i had the had it, he'll forget blow magic relationship based on the common interest in the military and the st index for and the be lot that i'll trade the countries i now straightening thus ties further. rash as is done gala as it's strategic partner in the south west and africa. and, and lawless is russia as a partner in each economic integration,

rationale security and the scientific vectors. late last year, russia as the set angola in the lecturing a communications said tele, i'm gonna was one of only 19 countries that did not vote for sanction against russia in the united nation. so it's not confidence that russia in a gala boss, oil producing countries are looking at way to improve blotted out relation and cooperation. like many other aspen pansies, angola is now l. so looking is for economic solution to china, russia and india. because after many that that is the kind of the continent ties to worston, countries have not healed is sufficiently positive results for the african people they allow for. i've also visited south africa and to ease with teeny, where he sailed. some important deals with both to the african business initiatives chairman at the val i forum,

her explained why russia is focused on africa and how the continent will become a calculable player in the years to come myself in an expert. i now share situations. i have been all so talking a lot about the necessity to be very proactive in our developments in russia, africa perspective, because really it's absolutely true. africa ingrown continent. it's a very young continent that population is going to be doubled by 2030, the population that will be the main working force for the whole world. so you cannot neglect, you know, the situation. so you should be either involved in this dynamics or you will be assigned. and i think as far as we see, ah, looking, you know, the are the actors. nobody wants to be aside. everybody wants to be so frustrated player there may miles ambia has found itself in the middle of

a diplomatic spots between china and the u. s. baiting has criticized washington and its relations with africa after the us treasury secretary accused the country of failing to help zambia solve its debt problems. even if the u. s. one day sold its debt problem, it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against or press for other countries out of selfish interest, because it cannot at all alleviate us. tremendous responsibility for the reason of the world debt issues. south african journalist, catalina miss. so me breaks down the latest diplomatic spot 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 so pass 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 natural resources unfairly on the african continent. but of course, china has come out 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 janitorial and 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 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 us 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 for of 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 awaken comically active, but the kind of infrastructure that has been placed on that and the 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 now to central africa, where everyone's enforces a fight at a democratic republic of congo military jet, claiming it violates the countries as space now says clashes between the congolese army and em, 23 rebels allegedly supported by vermont that resume in the northern parts of the d . r. c. for rounded authorities came. it was the 3rd time jets from the d. r. c. have violated its ass space. the plain struck is said to have landed at the gun air potent, the rock round a border with his right wing on fire. congolese government has denied the accusations and denounced the incident as a deliberate acts of aggression. that amounts to an act of war can, shall, sa,

says they saw, designed to undermine the peace agreement which ended the and $23.00 offensive. well, under an agreement, reached in november and 23 fighters were supposed to withdraw from their positions by january 15th, the congolese president says that commitment hasn't been fulfilled. fresh classes between congress trips and the rebels erected on tuesday morning. 70 kilometers from goma, with locals, reportedly flaying the area. we heard from a d, r. c. army spokesperson and north kiva. a repeatable quoted to go through the armed forces of the d, r. c, r, a national and professional army. it has proven this by defeating rwandan troops and their allies, who since 5 am been trying to attack our position and cut off the gum m a c. c road . for some time, the rwandan army in its allies had been blocking the gemara shooter route and it is unacceptable for us as a national army to let them come and put the peaceful life of our population in danger. indeed,

there was unrest as the fighting was taking place. 10 kilometers away from kit chanitha and detonations could be heard. this worried the population, but i can reassure you that could shonda and its surroundings are under our control . the fighting is still ongoing. the operation commander is on the ground. it's too early to give any assessment, but we can reassure the population of the area is under the control of the most loyal forces and that the enemy has felt our power. i would bet that the rwandan army and its m 23 allies have learned a hard lesson today. you an agency for palestinian refugees has appealed to 1600000000 dollars worth of new financial support in order to provide the help needed and the funding global crises on skywalker thing. levels of policy are among the major problems the agency is facing. mentioned by his commission, a general at a meeting in geneva. the un ought to be way, provides different conservation of food health and social services for palestinian refugees. the bureau, media advisor says that it some thinkable that they wouldn't be able to provide the

help necessary, who, because we are talking about but in the community, you know, with the, you know, when it's time to feed, even in celia live on gaza, the bank and the bad need of increasing our services, our, our communities in all sectors. not only talking about food, an indication, but also the need for political support. very important element. so i think, you know, to, to leave or to see that they're not able to provide services. they need help, we try to provide, not only 100, but also you can but 2 political issue and we need politician, you know, it's going to be to stop all of them to get all part is not get to talk or

you know, to corporate it to find concrete solutions, you know, that, you know, we believe that collation escalation will, will be in the interest of no one no, as the ukraine conflict to escalate a 30 year old publication by george soros has resurfaced tossing further down on the western narrative, nato, and its life have no stake in the conflict. the building as peace discusses how quiet these could be manipulated by the us boy term 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 policemen 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 continued to insist they are not a party to the conflict, but this document from 993, published by george soros is open. society institute gives a different impression. this document from $993.00 lays out how the united states that an allies might be interested in using countries across eastern europe as proxies divide russia, and they could incur the losses that might make the conflict on popular. if nigel countries themselves were directly involved, and it was their own soldiers who were doing the dying, not a coo 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 sack 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 bid, 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 weapons mild in suicide, being supplied with weapons by the united states. it also matches that the government of poland is very war mongering 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

that yes has recently admitted. this is what's been said. shouldn't you put a yellows ne mind through today we occurring out nato'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 yana 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 change that could be stabilized to 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 all 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. so the night sneeze that thanks you can check how exciting dot com.

we'll be back in 30 minutes with oh. oh, lou the nuremberg trial ass irvin's on la housing, head of advert sabotaged section 2, testified on september the 12th 1939, a black chief admiral canada is with instructed by 3rd wry. foreign minister, a yellow kim bung ribbon truck. oh, it's necessary to reach out to the ukranian nationalists with whom intelligence had already had military contact to cause.
