ah, a whole that was in italy, multiple rocket launcher systems strike on modern good us. he follows russian troops in fierce battle for a strong hold of ukrainian forces and had gone yet stub with celebration of nord stream pipeline blasts and bragging about foreign interfering with the achievements us. diplomat to victoria newton's claims to be proud of the recent senate, hearing foreign policy is not a joke. african union officials respond to germany's criticism of the russian

foreign ministers, africa tore as moscow builds close the ties on the continent with a very well well committed doughty international. with the latest world news headlines, it's good to happy with us this hour. now we start with the latest on the ukraine conflict blushes. defense ministry has said 135 ukranian troops have been killed and injured. as russia continues its advance and the dumbass, as well as the reported destruction of multiple ukrainian ahmed vehicles along the front line, russia also say that shot down a plane and intercepted 14 missiles among them, nato supplied high mas rockets, intense fire fights continue as a russian troops advanced on the town of martin. i don't yet sub it, which since 2014 has been a strong hold for ukrainian forces. now he's more at garcia reports from the front

line. ah. that was an enemy multiple rocket launcher systems strike on marrying. that is exactly where we're heading. oh, our 24 hours in mud, inca began. now. here a flashlight ease timed him out to suicide. slowly, half blind. we stumbled to our temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we are spending the night here in martin co, relatively relatively safe. the previous occupants here were ukrainian troops who were literally, as you can tell by the wools burned out of here. but this is also the answer as to

why the battle for martin ca 5 gave kapinsky. why these battles the taking so long? and that is because these bunkers are everywhere built over the last 8 years by the ukrainian military. built in completely nondescript places above us. this is just a small family whom a private residence of downstairs was unarmed store and the barracks for ukrainian soldiers. power is rationed, food, water, ammo, and fuel. i carried 4 miles before they get here. nothing is wasted in the early hours of the morning. we woke up to what fight as here. cool, an approximation of hell with a deafening to cover the blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours

ah, both for view of the battle ground or with the tire area covered in smoke is way ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currently, russian artillery of all types and colors more does houses was air craft tanks ah ah

ah, the she held on ukrainian ru credit troops. the battle for monica has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control. ukraine and its supporters, they publicly admit now, will never serious about peace talks. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned my income into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable. almost. whoa . each would choose russian to $25.00 close support to close ground supported craft. coming in very low flooring there and guided munitions rockets and getting out before ukrainian at the fences. have

a child constantly de la gordon lodge who's day by day month after month. russian troops have demolished ukrainian fortifications. here, here has said thousands of drafted troops into the meat grinder to hold the mighty anchor. but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us as certainly, frankly, this is unpleasant for us destroying these buildings. the city it hurts our souls, but we have no choice. this is our land and the enemy has thrown its reserves. at marin county, they use their troops as cannon fodder. they pluck any holes with corpses of their own soldiers. they spare no lives, no gig, and if it were pushing, but there are difficulties. the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house,

but were pushing them back and advancing. ah heard a round mud. inca artillery is everywhere. these automatic mine launcher the shall yoke is appeared. thing with muddy anger is strategically vital. it is a gateway to that yet if you crane uses it, it will be a devastating blow to morale, both civilian and military. he of understands the share of his willing to pall thousands of its troops on to the pile to hold hon kemati, which may well be an approximation of hell for i'd gazda of our tea from madigan. but as the fighting rage is on and nato states confirm and dispatch is of

tanks to ukraine, the block claims it isn't a party to the conflict, something rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman brands as outright lies. clock i d just lose it. how can this people seriously see they're not site of the conflict as they are, aren't going to send troops. and just, and what about sending tanks for abilene? i'm just trying to find a new logic, a new sense in it. but there isn't any and can't be unique people for usage of tanks, their maintenance given them signals that this is pure hypocrisy. criminal hypocrisy was not just an attempt to avoid uncomfortable worship. he had it solitary lice. we hear it says the story of the conflict, while actions of the was proved, the opposite. in fact, nieto and the western general fight against us to keep national if the regime easter eludes me up, slaughter was. and a us senator harring dedicated to the situation and ukraine, americans that senior diplomat, victoria newland couldn't hold herself back from celebrating the gnawed stream to

pipeline blasts, as well as washington's longstanding interference into the domestic politics of east european countries. as he contributes to rachel, marston takes a closer look at newland so called achievements. the u. s. senate foreign relations committee held a hearing on thursday that kind of slipped under the radar in the mainstream press . but it's really a classic example of how washington decision makers get drunk on their own nonsense . and then just start trying to change the world. the subject of this hearing was countering russian aggression, ukraine and beyond. and. and despite being with the democrats right now and victoria f e u newland, we'll get to that. the 2nd who's now serving at the state department as under secretary of state for political affairs in the biden administration, new and can't help but side with republican senator ted cruz. when it comes to being relieved that the nord stream to pipeline that was supposed to send russian

gas into europe via germany was blown up center cruise up like you. i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that nordstrom, too, is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea. that would be senator ted cruz representing the state of texas. it's probably just a total coincidence that cruise has spent years since at least 2019 trying to get nord stream to sanctioned, into oblivion, pretending that he so concerned about europe being too dependent on russian gas. and that taxes is also the top producer of liquefied natural gas in the us 25 percent of us gas comes from texas and on which europe is now totally dependent and at a much higher price than it's sold on the u. s. market. so newland was already singing from the same hymn book as cruise on the topic of nord stream to way back in january of 2022. so even before the conflict in ukraine went red hot and i want to

be clear with you today. if russia invades ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. she sounds so confident. it's amazing that when the same pipeline was mysteriously blown up last year, the mainstream western press didn't circle back and ask her what she meant by that statement. instead they apparently figured that it made so much more sense to accuse russia of blowing up its own infrastructure. newlands boss, secretary of state antony blanket, remarked after the north stream pipelines were blown up that it offered quote, tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come. yeah, sure. tell that to europeans who were walking around in the dark and taking 10 2nd showers to keep energy costs down such a great opportunity. and since the senate committee hearing is about countering russia in ukraine and beyond, well, newland is already bragging about washington meddling in belarus. i would not say

that we've had manifest success, but also working intensively with a fellow russian opposition. it seems like washington can't keep its hands off of russia's neighbors. noon was spotted in ukraine way back in 2014, handing out cookies to anti government protesters and caught discussing the potential roles of ukrainian opposition leaders post regime change around that same time, a recording late of newland expressing just how much she values us allies and international law, even when they don't point a line with washington's agenda for heave, that would be great, i think, to help glued as thing and had the un helped glue it. and you know, the, you news has come a long way from openly denouncing europe for standing in the way to now being relieved that europe's pipelines were blown up. this female forrest gump of regime change shenanigans certainly sounds like a true friend. that only has allies very best interests at heart.

us lawmakers seeking to been chinese apt take talk on american soil that the f b i is still struggling to provide any grounds for such a move. i asked one of my f. b. i analysts. she emailed me towards the end of the day to say that she couldn't find evidence that we had any additional information to share. she further stated, it seems like maryland and other states who have similar bands based their decisions on news reports and other open source information about china in general . not specific to tick tock. well, let's get more on that for marty correspondence. kayla. more pin. now kayla. good to see you. so why is that so much scrutiny of take talking to us right now? well, as you will recall, there has been quite a bit of allegations regarding the social media app known as tick tock. us officials have accused of being some kind of intelligence operation for the chinese

government. in december, there was a ban on federal officials in the united states using tick tock on any government issued device. any government device at the federal level was banned from using the to tick tock application. now individual states are going ahead and making this mandate regarding state government issued devices as well. and that's where we come forward with this new information that it appears that the basis on which these allegations are being leveled is not research done by actual intelligence agencies . but rather simply open sources and media reports. but that hasn't stopped the wave of anti china hysterics. we've heard in u. s. media, let's review we, the f b. i do have a national security concerns about the app. it's a parent company is controlled by the chinese government. and so all of these

things are in the hands of, of a government that doesn't share our values. we've been warned repeatedly by our own intelligence agencies that tick tock is a security threat heck, the director of the f. b. i has testified under oath that tick tock poses major security risk. so i think everyone agrees or a privacy danger to america, to our national security. we shouldn't have the communist party at china having access to a treasure trove of american data that they can use to try to influence into bias at the same time as they collect valuable information. now and for the future, it's genuinely troubling to see, you know, what the chinese government could do to manipulate tick tock. now it's got to be below to the self esteem of us officials that tick tock is now the most downloaded app on the internet. it's a head of facebook, it's a head of instagram, it's a head of snap chat. it's a head of twitter. it is the most popular app,

and we all know that these us apps have no relationship with american intelligence . never shared data with us. officials, of course, that's not the case, and in fact there's been many scandals regarding violations of the privacy of the u . s. public and others. when it comes to facebook. facebook meta recently got hit with a fine by the european union. they were fined $414000000.00 for violating the privacy of citizens and using their personal information, collecting data that was used for targeted advertisements. so many people look at the u. s. government and its relationships with microsoft, google, facebook, and other corporations. and see, you know, a quite a bit of ridiculous hypocrisy in the hysteria that they are now running against tick tock. but that has not stopped there. continued to be very extreme reports

that are very alarmist in their rhetoric. this is some of what we've heard. we are not yet awake to this threat. china has spotted an opportunity to dominate this market. and if it does so, it can harvest an awful lot of data as well as making foreign countries dependent. it is time to wake up free and open countries for dan chinese manufactured io t modules from their supply chains as soon as possible. and now that report that we just heard, that language might even be funny if it wasn't so serious and having such serious geo political implications. the idea that tick tock, an app that involves teenagers dancing and you know, just an app that is involved in all kinds of social media activities. the idea that some kind of threat to our us national security is something that many people don't really take seriously. and find to be almost humorous, but the fact is that it fits in with an anti china hysteria that's quite widespread . us officials are traveling around the world building a case against china, drumming up anti china feelings. we have austria deploying mines in its waters for

the alleged fear that there might be some kind of confrontation with china. the people on the island of taiwan are quite upset about the fact that u. s. weapons continue to flow into the island and continued provocation against china from the, you know, from the united states as we saw nancy pelosi and her trip to taiwan, et cetera. so all of this, all of this is quite. 1 concerning, we now find out that american intelligence, the f, b i and others don't really have that. have much data to back up their concerns about tick tock. this came from other sources, open sources, etc. this kind of reveals that all of these very, very serious escalations and international tensions. and there's anti china hysteria. that is a threat to world peace. it doesn't seem to re, really based in reality, but on the agenda of certain forces. keller many thanks for that update thought is caleb morgan. now with the details thinking germany's foreign office has received

back class from african union officials off to criticizing the russian foreign minister his efforts to enhance partnerships during his tore across the continent. ortiz, africa correspondent, corolla toddler, gives us the details on reactions to european sentiments in the region. the russian foreign minister love ralph is in africa, not to see leopards, but to bluntly claim that ukraine's partners want to destroy everything russian. here's a thread with all of his evidence. hi, german foreign office, your boss and alina burbock, visited the african union based in one of the more than 20 african countries that germany enjoys reciprocal diplomatic relations with. did she come to see animals? or is the continent of africa? it's people and wildlife. just a joke to you here on the continent. it was really encapsulated by carlindo who

responded to the german foreign office. really, i think too late what most african feel that the germans cannot simply act like they don't have a legacy of their own leg. they will not part of the great colonial story of how you rolled over to africa and really deprived of its development. she was reminding germans that here the b i here on a foreign policy basis and they have relationship, a reciprocal relationship with more than 20 african state. and they wouldn't be here as they also here to look at a free control such as animals. and, you know, not necessarily for africa development for us here on the african continent is really a source of great hood and point that if bill you know, saw to the day and it plays into a big narrative. now it's one thing for the german part of his to say that no,

that was all setting just said the leper in this case represented tanks of ukraine . well, there is no war that's been what on the african continent, and for a long time now, africa and felt ended lead as saying that this is not going to be a platform for europe to have if geopolitical war on offer any superpower actually to come here. and speech a war on the african continent, the will not have with the literal all people metric was being held here. and it goes into the big story. and, you know, part of the story that they say that the german for an office that if they say that this was all just a joke, epoch, alondo points taken and sorry, we value our african partners. our tweet was in no way intended to mean offense. instead, that this means german made leopard tanks, we wanted to call out the lies that russia uses to justify its imperialist war of

aggression against ukraine. the sad part is that they say that they were attempting to clear the air and correct mr. lover of on some of the misinformation here. well, no one on the african continent actually expects an explanation out of russia. the continent was pretty firm when the war started, that it will not be engaging in any kind of rhetoric between through um, ours. and that the clearly understand the position of germany and what the nato a grouping had done to push russia to the place that it is today. we believe that europe still views africa with in the prism of colonialism within the prism of less then and be, have still to treat as, or look at africans as equal people with their own urgency. and this reminds me of the that the, the comments by e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, who really stared up emotions of his own. when he said the following futile is

a garden. we had built a garden ivory she works is the best combination of our political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion. that the human kind has been able to build this 3 things together. the rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should be gay of it. they were here scouring around, looking for all kinds of alternative to russian guess that had been placed under sanctions. they are the ones who consistently come to this continent looking, asking, begging, and instead of looking at as an equal trading partner, continue to look down. political analysts, dr. hunter, move a things. germany's recent comments sums up the way western states view africa,

insightful. and you find exposure of the kind of people that you've african now goes into father told the for example, at a later date or time fees, gemini, or any of these, you know, you can power has been at the back of their mind. they actually know that this is what they actually did. but now we, in a state of neo colonial and in a stage of imperialism. and these all have the them characteristics as colonial, except brandy in a different way. well, yes it is actually that, that is actually, that is what is being propagated onto the continent in many other ways. and that's why it's very important for africa moving forward to be aware of some of the, you know, gimme and some will be, you know, tactics instructed to use by these you can, paul is because what they think of, you know, not being transformed over the yet but actually behind the so called to be

a shouldn't be actually that continued exploitation and question of africa. and any people, any resources, without much course, the duration will actually be african and tell. and then other african news. russia is big thing. they can all make. but also cut, also cultural ties on the continent with a bust of the 1st money in space. you were darn being unveiled alley this week, russia b. c embassy, along with the countries oldest university, revealed a bunch of the legendary cosmo. and he's opening speech the nation's russian that emphasize the significance of the occasion, which symbolizes a growing friendship between the 2 states. according to the diplomat, moscow will continue to explore faith and where comes all interested parties to cooperate the was marine corps, have it reopened. that base camp blots on guam islands, us general david burgess,

a bolstering the military presence in the pacific region is aimed at promoting regional defense. we don't want to fight to get to the fight. we want to already be inside. so if there's a conflict, the stand in forces are already forward the role of the marines in guam on that side of the international dateline is to reinforce the policy of deterrence, which is the underpinnings of our national defense strategy. come, plots is still under construction and will reportedly become fully operational in 2024 at $5000.00 marines will be stationed there for a price tag of nearly $8000000000.00 with japan contributing $3000000000.00 to the projects on the other. and the u. s. the other 5, the u. s. has recently also boasted as military assistance to taiwan, promising to provide extended military training to the taiwanese army, to deter alleged chinese aggression. but by the administration is also set to reopen its embassy on the solomon islands. also a regent speak between washington and beijing, nelson,

long vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies that say that such politics is not likely to contribute to well peace and stability. it is not in the interest of china to make any drastic actions towards what's happening in the wall, or as i said, quite clearly, it's a domestic affairs of the us. but when you use china right, as the excuse to build up the military base, this is something that is long. china is not russia. anti one is not you crazy. but we do see that there are countries that are trying to, to make this comparison. and they're trying to, you know, to alienate china and tried to exit, may to russia and

a vicious, this is not very complementary to promoting, woke piece, curating this term, china threat. this is very wrong because china is not going to become a threat simply because a few countries keep calling it a threat. many thanks for a company here in austin national web back of the company i was very late. ah. with well yeah. that that you
