algeria by rights is considered to be a country of martyrs. according to the calculations of historians, the french colonists are responsible for the debts of one and a half 1000000 algerians. with the u. s. germany and their allies, the greatest on heavy tanks to you, praying for the 1st time to bolster what they call key at the upcoming counter offensive against russia. there is no offense referred to russia. we are fighting a wall against russia. washington and berlin are remarkably out of sync when explaining what their tanks will actually be aiming for a new crank. as a rock currency formats to new lows, locals roundly against the country central bank accusing it of serving american interests at their expense. a country wants to liberate itself and li,

like the rest of the world. the step was inevitable in order to reduce the price of the u. s. dollar, which had started to affect many social classes in iraq and happy republic, day to india. as the country celebrates the 74th anniversary of its constitution with a grand parade we're russian military cadets were exclusively invited with coming to you live in the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. the u. s. has announced it will hand over $31.00 of its abrams tanks and other armored vehicles to ukraine for an expected counter offensive against moscow's forces on the front lines. however, president bivens claims the move is not actually 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 that as follows, germany is decision to send at least 14 of its main battle. thanks to praying. after months of pressure from nato allies and key as russia has accused berlin of escalating the conflict instead of seeking peace. but with his dad just to get a minute, 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 because germany has pledged to train ukrainian crews to use its tanks. berlin will also issue transfer permits to other countries. the want to deliver their german made tanks to key. germany's foreign minister has called on

the members to unite for what she has openly called a war 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 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 all of this right now. the delivery of leo, pod 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, 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 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 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 in syria and ended up destroyed by things like anti tank missiles. i. e d. 's rockets and mortars. actual pumas ann leopard should probably see 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 have 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, thus, according to western press report, citing us 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 sun replacements for

those, particularly if they fail and leave the audience disappointed. adamo gar, by the 2nd a 2023 nigerian president. drill aspirant says that tanks promised by the west to ukraine will not drastically change the situation on the ground for key abs forces . this is just like kendall and his collision one to know to do to the ukrainians for the benefit of usability. also agenda, the americans and in it is cushion, you know, against russia simply because they wanted to leverage on the ukrainian or their ability for to be at the expense or whatnot. ukrainian lights, which you know that up at the end of the school. you know what the pacific constitution got denied german direct military involvement in the entire global. if you, what does not have to do we know by asking them why force in the local tongues?

who do it means that there's a complete detail of the entire european continent, the entire europe, you betrayed, i've got green, you're going to my show plan that germany will be denied military operations in europe. now we have a new near dollar rear alignment. wow, why do some europeans were forced to allow germany to use it with you seem to be a good number larger. can you graham people because i don't believe it's only 14 local towns and even in there, but i'm douglas in from the us. i don't believe they can be able to change in the situation of doug will order them continuous killing or the ordinary cranium. students on one level, you glenn and military men that are not supported with the right tools. and i'm a compliment or do not want to confront, is true and superpower. we're going to be like roger is not possible. you just if those domains don't jump hoodie, we've got you covered with all of the details on the ramifications of the western tank deliveries to ukraine on air and on our website

r t dot com where you can get plenty more opinions and in depth analysis plus live updates, former us secretary of state and c. i a chief mike pompei has downplayed the outrage over the 2018 murder of washington post contributor jamal cas shogi and his new book calling the slain journalist, amir activist, who was fighting for a losing cause. to be clear, shoji was a journalist to the extent that i and many other public figures, or journalists. in truth cas shoji was an activist who supported the losing team in a fight for the throne. unhappy with being exiled, an outspoken critic of the saudi government, shogi was assassinated inside the countries. consulate in this symbol, back in 2018. the cia which pompeo previously directed concluded that the journalist was murdered on the orders of crown friends mohammed been so mon,

who denied the accusations job i then once vowed to turn saudi arabia into a quote, pariah for carrying out the murder. however, now the tables have seemingly turned for pompeo. a publisher of the washington post has blasted the former secretary of state for spreading falsehoods about an honorable man's life. it is shameful that pompeo would spread vile falsehoods to dishonor a courageous man's life and service. and his commitment to principles, americans hold dear as a ploy to sell books. now, if pompei diminishing a show gazed roll from journalists to activists. some critics say it reminds them of how the u. s. tried to spend its own narrative on jail. the wiki leaks founder julian assange with headlines that question whether he deserves any protection as a journalist. so to go further in depth on this, let's cross live now to civil rights attorney robert patillo. robert is great to

have you on the show to day. now, my pompeo husband slammed for down playing his show. good role as a journalist, what's your reaction to the latest controversy, or what was not surprising mike compel has gone down already, is perhaps the worst secretary of state and american history. and that is a, a very low bar to, to crawl under. i owed me, we've had some terrible ones, but he may be the worst of them. all people need to remember that we'll, we'll talk about the failed us withdrawal from afghanistan. that was a deal that might, pompeo agreed to in february of 2020, in the car, to turn over the entire lation of, of gamma stand to be taliban. and then pull out you as true for pulling out arts of building before pulling out our contracts before pulling out or, or equipment. and we look at what he's saying about cause shogi. this is more apologize. them. we've seen mike pompei will have business deals with the saudi government since leaving office. we've seen that he's been a internet blowhard of a conservative atlas when the fact that he was weak ill of the dead. because his oh,

because women select secretaries, they failed to do anything to pretend to this show you how low these people are willing to go in order to maintain their business deals with the saudis. and it's interesting that his speaking out on it now because certainly no one is asking for my palm pears opinion on this entire affair, yet he is giving it whether they wanted or not. now the u. s. establishment has criticized the saudi prince for years, for the assassination of co shogi. and now in his book, mike pompeo has given the prince the benefit of the doubt, while calling ca shogi and mir activists. what do you make of such a turn of tables, and is there really not much at stake that pompeo has to take this hard line when it comes to this situation? what was, what think when you look at the business, the ones that the saudis currently have, the united states of america, that after we oh said we will make them a price that we them hang for the killing was kosovo. we've done nothing but bend over in genuflect. oh, in there we have we now have the lives of golf tournament,

which is taking me numerical offers off the pga tour. we have saudi investments in oil and gas and infrastructure throughout the country, even the entertainment building of business. you have many people who are in the united states who make a lot of money with the saudi government. and for that reason might pompei owen simply echoing and saying that quiet poured out loud, which is the americans not really care about human rights. do not care about journalistic freedom. they do not care about people's revolutions. they care about cold, hard cash. and this is really the only thing that matters is the only current that floats on the international level. now speaking of not carrying in my journalistic freedom, i mean, do you see a parallel between how my payer has downplayed to show the and how the u. s. has portrayed someone like julian hassan and his entire story so far. oh, let's remember that america has a long history of either jailing or executing individuals who have simply tried to provide information to the public. i find it ironic that people such as mark

zuckerberg in albany, these tech billionaire of the social media. they are heralded as captains of industry for stealing people's data and sewing them to big tech. and similar to the government, me, while people i joined the sans and it were snowden and chelsea manning and others who tried to take information from the government and give it to the people to find out what exactly government is doing or label terrorist or a global in the state, i have to hide out in other countries and lose our every human right possible. so america has to start at to living up to the quote unquote value to the say they, oh, they trumpet. because in reality, the rhetoric does not match the actions. yeah, they are as establishment certainly has a playback for howard approaches every situation based on how it can benefit from it. now what do you make of the timing upon payers but care? i mean, why would a former secretary of state and cia chief even need to speculate on could shelby's death after all this time? i mean, people say he's going to run for president 2024 and ultimately candidates. our

potential candidates release these books to give them excuse a go on immediate towards a what we'll see, pompei next and make the rounds of conservative media. we'll see him on fox news, max and away in real americas voice, et cetera. era conservative radio station around the country, you have to have some salacious lines in there to get publicity around. and so in addition to putting money his pocket, i'll solidifying his business, dealing with the saudis, and also helps him promote his potential candidacy and 2024. among the conservative base were very much dive in the wall when it comes to supporting the saudi regime. because their primary goal of maintaining us has monic power in the region and saudi arabia's are crucial to that. and also maintaining oil profits. we're big business of finances where the republican campaigns and my grandpa sto reminding the world that he's still here and still talking. so civil rights attorney, robert patillo, thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you, rachel ah, to a rock now where hundreds are taken to the streets of baghdad and protest against

the devaluation of the nations currency, which i had little heart demonstrators. mainly young people gathered near the central bank, carrying flags and banners and a bed to pressure the government to act. the rocky did not has had a new low to the us. you dollar losing almost 7 percent of its value since mid november. protesters to say life in the country has become a nightmare because of the economic crisis. as they accused the central bank of serving american interest and bank of america, we're here to send a message to this lien in week bank. that doesn't protect its national currency and its subjected to terms and dictations of outside banks. and especially american bank said the f. b, i are messages. if you go with these terms than what are the poor people supposed to do? that a do not have alex mitchell. the dollar price is uncertain for various reasons, unknown to asked the people. but what we do know is that the main reason for the dollar increase is the smuggling of the currency outside iraq to certain countries

which has impacted our economic situation. i hope what the step was inevitable in order to reduce the price of the us dollar, which had started to affect many social classes in iraq. our country wants to liberate itself and leave like the rest of the world. the poor have been affected and the lower classes have reached a situation where they can no longer survive a little bit. but i taken her better. christopher and investigates, wire rock faces such economic turmoil. despite being one of the world's top oil producers. iraq's prime minister has sacks the head of the country central bank over the total collapse of the national currency, the iraqi dinner. today, the central banks, governors requests 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 were 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 guessed it, uncle sam has its thing, get in the pie yet again. most of iraq's oil wealth is still helping us dollars. instead of in its own suffering, currency is still they've been held inside the countries own central bank. but it a current account in the us say, 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 boss bulk of money. off the bush and blair illegal invasion of the country. their so called partners continued to rob the bank and get away with it struggling in iraq by literally holding it to ransom. now just imagine the western out quite in russia and china did the same thing to countries in which

they hold significant interest. so was 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 quit, so times running out frankel, sam and his rules based order. and it's no longer a question of if, but when the clock strikes midnight, roches chop diplomat has praised moscow's growing relations with the african continent. during his latest official visit to angola survey la rock went on to criticise western financial pressure on developing states and their hypocritical approach. the continent is upset and visiting with his actions the west has proved as it can trample at any moment on all the values and mechanisms of globalization that it's 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, syria self respecting countries, a when 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. the whole north africa is under going far rating changes in it's regional. joseph wanted to tell dynamics, and it's, it is from now security land to skip in the back. they're off of shifting international system, and i'm both regional and a global a 5th after from the middle he saw region yellowfin, internal power houses, including the u. s. china, russia and the policy that you are currently competing for employee, sa, resource and had the money in the region. beside all the competition ended the re establishing off then your colonialism in the region. bratia have a big role in protecting the peer to peer to al integrity of these countries in the

honda, rather than the with russia, top diplomat continues his tour of the continent which began in south africa on monday, lockdown per toria. agreed on joint sea military drills for next month. law then visited the kingdom of latino, formerly known as was the land where the russian foreign minister and his counterpart agreed on visa, free travel for diplomat. afterwards, sir, gala ra visited and gola, where he prays, deepening cooperation and growing ties with the country. later on thursday, russia top diplomat is due to sit down with officials in eritrea. stay with us for the latest on thursday, la moves, and the horn of africa. political analysts from ethiopia told us that most african countries are friends with russia because of their long historical ties. and moscow is one of the few supporters of africa, the un security council. they were janelle, allied with russia and china because of the long tie. and even when we had

a was to bam, it to. yeah. and russia had a positive role, even because we were, we were having a lot of supplies from russia, took technology support, and most of it by then for me to them, it said they were getting education. and the fact that she has never called any off african countries, and they've been, most of the african countries, has a positive impression of russia. so because of that long time for sure, it will definitely save russia and then china, because we will not forget also that russia is our one of the biggest night in the un security council to defend this african africa. we do have a voice depression and they you in your state. ukraine is approaching and now over to pakistan where it is long about court has granted police a 2 day remand at the countries opposition packets fan movement for justice leader
