alice is from western governments and they're playing media then you know very little about the conflict and ukraine. the fact is, ukraine is losing. on this addition of cross talk, we discuss how this conflict is likely to ah, washington decides to supply key f with those. he won a brown's tanks. that story off the berlin vanelle to make to 1014, a bit leopard tanks, ukraine as well as giving been not allied to do the same. we are fighting a war against russia and not against each other. germany is foreign ministers. they used to do 9000 is more against russia with moscow labeling. but ladies decision as a serious escalation and in iraq, hundreds take to the streets in protest, following the plummet of the national currency. that of the countries oil continues

to be traded in dollars, sparking criticism benefits in washington, and not by a very warm welcome to you. this is dorothy international with the latest world news update is good to happy with us because now our top story, washington has announced it with honda over 31. m one, a brown's tanks and armored vehicles to ukraine biden confirmed the decision claiming it's not tamed as a threat to russia. manassas, that united states will be sending $31.00 abram tanks to ukraine. that's what this is about. helping ukraine defend and protect ukrainian land. it is not an offensive threat to russia. there is no offensive threat to russia. well, this follows germany is approval to send 14 of its main battle tanks, ukraine following months of pressure from nato allies and kias. russia has the keys,

berlin of not encouraging a peaceful solution to the ukraine conflict saying it's instead focused on escalation. but with this damn shift to get a minute to you. once again, we see that germany, like it's closest allies, is not interested in a diplomatic solution. to the crane crisis, it is focused on this permanence escalation and unlimited pumping of the key regime with more and more deadly weapons. red lines are a thing of the past. berlin has pledged to provide 14 leopard to a 6 tanks when they're bunkers, fish stocks, as well as trainings ukrainian cruise. germany will also issue transfer permit to other allies that want to deliver tanks from that supplies. the country's foreign minister has called on e u. member states to unite in that 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 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 unless 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 jury 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 all of this right now. the delivery of leo, pod battle tanks, which leaped another taboo, potentially takes us closer to world war 3 than towards peace in europe. the

decision to continue making germany a war policy doesn't have the support of the majority of the population, le tanks all the prelude to a possible sly towards a catastrophe. so the german public is split on the tag issue and 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 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 and germany to send these tanks to ukraine. if that people say ever matter to remember foreign affairs minister annually in a bare box had not that long ago that she personally would do what 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 he's 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 eas rockets and mortars actual pumas in leopard should probably suit 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 anyone thinks that 14 challenger tags, or 14 leopard tanks or 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 in 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 clarity, 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 and replacements for those, particularly if they fail and leave the audience disappointed. that's on the gov. at the 2nd 2023 nigerian presidential aspirants say that tanks promised by the west to ukraine will not drastically change the situation on the ground for keeps forces

. this is just like kind of an is calisha cantino to distill the ukrainians for the benefit of visibility. also agenda the americans and in it is cushion. you know, i didn't watch are simply because they wanted to leverage on. do you remember their ability for to be at the expense or whatnot? you grenier lights? which will know that after the end of the 2nd world war? yeah, what the pacific constitution got denied german direct military involvement in the entire global of yes. what does not have to do we know by asking them or forcing them to send the other got tongues to do great. it means that there's a complete material of the entire european continent being don't be betrayed. i agree in using the marshall plan, that gentlemanly will be denied military operations in europe. now we have a new near dollar rear alignment. wow, why do some europeans,

while pause to allow germany to you today we're going to be sent to the a good number larger. can you great people because i don't believe it's valuable. tinlar got tons. i didn't even deter da da, but on tags wasn't from the us. i don't believe they commit. want to change in the suggestion of dog rule or dumb, continuous killing, or be what mother ukrainian students on one level you glenn and military men that are not supported with the right tools. and i'm going to want to not want to confront ernestro, and she proposed warranty, like roger is not possible. you just it door to me is don't jump hoodie. hundreds are they? rockies have taken to the streets of baghdad in protest against a devaluation of the nation's currency, which is lead telephone and living standards. demonstrate as mainly young people gathered near the central bank carrying flags and banners, and a bit to pressure the government to act. the local currency, the erotic denart has recently has a new level against the us dollar,

losing almost 70 percent of its value since mid november are to contribute. kristen examines how the country got to this point and the root cause of its financial problem. it right? prime minister has facts 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 waltz, 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 we enjoy 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 its thing in the pie yet again. most of iraq's oil wealth is still helping us dollars instead of its own suffering currency. it's

still they've been held inside the countries own central bank, but did a current account in the usa. this means that the oil revenues that should support iraq sulfur 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 fed holding the basketball combat money off the bush and blair illegal invasion of the country. their so called partners continue to rob the bank and get away with it. struggling iraq by literally holding it to ransom. 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 frankl sam and his rules based order. and it's no longer a question of if, but when the clock strikes midnight, the russia is top. diplomats like

a lab roth as praise moscow's growing relations on the african continents during his late official visit to an goler. he went on to criticise west and financial pressure on developing states and proposed the creation of new current fees within the bricks. groupon nations, under the frameworks is of the same decision with his actions. the west has proved, as it can trample at any moment on all the values and mechanisms of globalization that it self created and promoted, including the viability of property fair competition on the presumption of innocence, just as it can betray its allies at any moment, which was proved not so long ago in afghanistan, iraq, and during the so called arab spring, syria 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 at 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 11 visits to angle that is like that, hon. coming of the not friend in this part of africa rush, i was one of amazon that's showing at some point during the cube, what period and doing it see the word after independence for all the 3 back as russia and i got, i had the, had a relationship base, it non comma interest in the military, and the same did for and the be like that. i'll trade the countries i now straightening does ties, but they're rash as these angola, as it's a basic wagner. in southwestern africa and lawless is russia,

as if back in each economic integration, raising our security and safety vectors late last year, russia as decent and all that in elaine, seeing a communications fidelity. and lana 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, i reducing pantries, i 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, right? shop in india, because after many back that as the kind of the continent ties to western countries had not, yoga sufficiently buzzed the results for the african people. and he allowed bravo say visited south africa and east teeny, where he sailed some important deals. we spoke to the african business initiatives chairman at the valley. i forum who explain why russia is focused on africa and how

the continent would become a key global player. and yours to come myself in an expert or share for way. sure. so 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 is a growing continent. it's 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 can not 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 are looking, you know, the, all the actions, nobody wants to be aside. everybody wants to be. so for all shays a player, when we mozambie a has found itself in the middle of

a diplomatic spots 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 zombie a saw that step problems. even if the u. s. one day solves its debt problem, it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against all 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 africa journalist, public mistakenly breaks down the latest diplomatic spots 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 to 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 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 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 with 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 or speaking in our to our current as ambassador was bombarded with a slew of tough questions, ranging from nato's ongoing support of ukraine. so as rounds policies in palestine and others. mr. re, you're lying, you know, it, you're using ukraine as a proxy to weaken russia. you don't, you don't care about international law at the united nations just recently. you voted against multiple resolutions, upholding international law, upholding palestinian rights. you voted against the resolution condemning neo naziism. you voted against the resolution supporting the treaty on the partition of

nuclear weapons on haiti. mr. ray, you're propping up your propping up and on the left, did i'm elected. unpopular unconstitutional leader. is that true? that you barbara didn't respond properly to the questions? of course, we didn't expect him to respond and an honest matters between government and barbara himself, do not care about international law. they care about advancing the u. s. empire, everything and these things are scripted. it isn't going to be no opportunity for a real exchange of ideas. there is relatively open speech in canada. what we have is quite a, quite an impressive propaganda system where you have very open speech rules. you know, there's politicians are relatively accessible at this, you know, for public forums. but the dominant means of communication allow for very narrow spectrum of debate. so i have published in books on canadian foreign

policy from a critical perspective. the dominant media, this country absolutely refuses to ever, basically ever been on, of course, but basically ever hear my perspective on canadian foreign policy. and i'm just, that's just one example of how the critical perspectives are just excluded from mass communications. now, central africa wherever wound and forces the fight at a democratic republic of congo military jet. it violates the countries as space thus as clashes between the congress on me and then 23 rebels allegedly supported by rolanda resume in the northern part of the d. r. c, run that no thought he came, it was the 3rd time jets when the dnc had violated bits of space. the plane struck is said to have land, they go to add ports near the one. the border with its white wing on fire, accompanies government has denied the accusations and denounced the incident is

a deliberate act of aggression that amounts to an act of war can. she also said the incident was provoked to undermine the peace agreement which ended hostilities with the n 23. great. and the agreement reached in november and 23 fighters were supposed to withdraw from that position by january 15th, the company's president said that commitment hasn't been fulfilled. fresh classes between companies, troops on the levels, what's on tuesday morning. 70 kilometer from gomez, with locals reportedly fleeing the area. we heard from a d. c. on the spokes person in north kiva. i know for sure are very people, democratic also to 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've 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 an acceptable 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 that 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. an agency for palestinian refugees is the pill for $1600000000.00 worth of financial support to provide help for those in need and funding at global crises and rising levels of profits zulu among the major problems the agency faces as, according to its commission, a general who spoke at a meeting in geneva, the united nations relief and works agencies of palestine. refugees provides aid

a political issue and we need politician, you know, it's going to be to stop all of them to get all part, you know, get all the boxes to walk or, you know, to corporate it to find concrete solutions, you know, that, you know, we believe that the galatian lation will, will be in the interest of no one. and now the other 2 pakistan were in islam about court has granted the police a 2 day reminder of p t. i need to file a challenge, re close a to the countries former prime minister iran con atari was arrested early on wednesday morning on charges of inciting violence against the constitutional institution as fear spread of the possible arrest of con himself support has gathered outside his residence in protest, a local journalist who was at the scene and centers this report. you might look while you would was lombard, i'm standing near zum and park the private residence of emerson han. there are a large number of his supporters behind me last night. there were speculations that
