consumption and it should be no surprise. ukraine is as corrupt as ever a with breaking news on the 7 people are killed and nearly a dozen more injured. an issue, think that's a to route for them. synagogue. they attacked confirmed as a terror acts by israeli police that happened on holocaust. camilla ration day with that was an enemy multiple walk you through to system strike on martin. i was, he follows russian troops in their sponsor for a stronghold of ukrainian forces, and they don't yet understand

a tearing senior us diplomat. victoria newland spills the beans on washington's open interference to domestic policy afar and stay with a very welcome to the international with the latest wealth news headlines. it's good to have you with us. and we start with a breaking news from jerusalem, where at least 7 people have reported debt and at least 10 more injured and a shooting as a synagogue in the city on international holocaust collaboration day. ah, israeli police have confirmed the incident is a terror attack. the gun man has been shot dead that by offices emergency services the operating at the scene. the incident has been condemned by the u. s. officials as quote absolutely horrific, where the russian authorities calling it

a cynical act ortiz maria fin notion of reports from jerusalem. this is the 1st major territory here in israel since the countries knew right tween government was sworn, ain prime minister benjamin netanyahu. hayes currently closely monitoring the situation security assessment to convene soon. the country's national security minister been agree, it has been seen on the ground personally supervising the investigation. securities, obviously on high alert, the attack happened in an ultra orthodox neighborhood. oh, so investigation is do undergoing on exactly what has happened. there has been already reaction from some palestinian and pro palestinian groups. we now hear that the raj celebrations in the c t over a molla cameras and palestinian islamic jihad both announced that jerusalem synagogue attack was quotation and natural response to the crimes of the occupation . including thursdays killings in the refugee camp of jeanine. in the northern part

of the occupied west bank, russia in the u as condemned their tag heading that they are in close coordination with aisd railey colleagues. moscow stressed that it was particularly cynical as it happened on the international holocaust commemorates sion day. i have to say that the attack happens and made some dramatic escalation and a wave of violence all throughout the west bank. there were many clashes on friday . the biggest happened not far from where the shooting happened at the synagogue in the town or but it, um, here's my report from the ground. we're in the town of violet, i'll know for jerusalem that has in fierce clashes between israeli board to police and local residents, stones and burn tiles from one side and to rubber bullets. and to you guys from another side door massively used here today. friday clash is broke out shortly after the funeral of one young demonstrator who was shot dead earlier on thursday.

he was also today his birthday during and now the clashes that followed. violent mil to rage over these railey army in the camp of jeanine in the northern part of the occupied west bank in which 9 palestinians were killed. it was the deadliest day for the west. bank sees the beginning of this year, making a total of palestinians killed it all through all the occupied west bank in 2023 to $30.00, according to palestine in health ministry. and following that, the palestinian authority announced that the card security card, you nation with israel shortly after. what's happened in jeanine israeli army made a statement saying it was counted, terry small operation. they are a hain. we members of islamic jihad group were neutralized. they mentioned civilian deaths, claiming they are trying to check this information, but we know that at least one civilian was killed. it was an old lady. she was at

that time inside her house in the camp of jeanine. and we have been able to speak to her daughter, she was with her mom at the time when it happened to try to give her 1st aid. but the woman died. i have to say that it has been very turbulent week here. all from the west bank they were shooting in the city of lord with the country's national security minister. eventually go into this scene and that provoked even more tensions. there were clashes also in the city of jericho, around city of nablus, in the middle of the west. bank and this is this collation that many feared with israel's new government, already called the most far right in the country's history, we see that the situation on the ground is get more and more tense and violent. defense and government commentator and mir orange sees the latest attack in

jerusalem and bodies. yet another instance of permanent violence between israelis and palestinians. there is shad this cycle of violence. unfortunately, it is true, but if you look at the strategic context, if you look at the overall envelope, obviously there is no political rise for the palestinians under the government. on the contrary, the key players in this government such as the police are now we've called national security minister bank beer bank. there has nothing to do with the army with the defense poses. he's in charge of the police. one important component of the police is the border patrol. bank beer tries to supervise both the patrol personally,

the regardless of declarations. and so on bank the side, he's not calling the shots, at least not yet. not the ukraine conflict. russia's defense ministry has said a 135 ukranian troops have been killed and injured as russia continues its advance in the dumbass as well as the reported destruction of multiple ukrainian vehicles along the front line. russia also say they shut down a plane and intercepted 40 missiles amongst them. nato supplied high mas rocket. intends 55 continuous russian troops advance on the town of mud, inca don't yet suburb, which since 2014 has been a strong hold for ukrainian forces. ortiz, senior correspondent, more guns, the reports from the front line. ah,

that was an enemy multiple rocket launcher systems strike. one might think that is exactly where we're heading. oh, our 24 hours in mud, inca began now. here, a flashlights 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 modern 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 are 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 is here. cool, an approximation of hell. a deafening company of blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end. all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours ah, with

miss. by a view of good bundle gout or will the tie area covered in smoke is way ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currenty russian artillery of old sites and colors more does houses was air craft tanks ah

ah, the she hel, 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 stokes. it was cover, they spent 8th years preparing for war. they turned mud income into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable. almost. whoa . each would choose russian to suit $25.00 close support to close ground support their craft coming in very low firing their own guided munitions rockets and getting out before you gradient at the feds. us have a chance to transfer the lock on an lodge who's

been 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 my tinker. 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. the enemy has thrown its reserves at marin county. they use their troops as cannon fodder. they plug any holes with corpses of their own soldiers. they spare no lives. no big concern isn't that we're pushing, but there are difficulties. the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but we're pushing them back and advancing. ah, her a round might inca artillery is everywhere.

lease automatic mind launcher. the what she'll york is if he had thing, ah mudding guy is strategically vital. it is a gateway to that yet. if ukraine loses it, it will be a devastating blow to morale. both civilian and military key of understands this. and it is willing to pall thousands of its troops on to the power to hold hold of monica, which may well be an approximation of hell for i'd get the of r t for might inca. as the fighting continues, multiple nato states have one by one confirmed their intent to deliver tanks to ukraine with the u. s. to cents. $31.00,

a brown's the and germany agreeing to supply 14 and leopard to tax. at the same time, the blow claims it isn't a party to the conflict, something rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman branded an outright lie. got a good, just lose it. how can these people seriously see there and not a party to the conflict? of course, they aren't going to san troops and jets and what about the tanks? i'm just trying to find a new logic, an you sense in it, but there is and thing you need people for usage of tanks maintenance and to provide signals. this is pure hypocrisy, criminal hypocrisy, not just not time to wait uncomfortable questions, but outright lice. we have heard it since the conflict began. well, divest actions prove the opposite. in fact, nate on the west in general, i fight in us via keeps nationalist regime in the u. s. senate, tearing dedicated to the situation in ukraine. america is that senior diplomats, victoria newland hadn'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 all to contribute to rachel moss and takes a closer look at newlands. so cold 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 her own nonsense. and then just start trying to change the world. the subject of this hearing was countering russian aggression ukraine and beyond. and despite being with the democrats right now in victoria, f. e u newland, we'll get to that. the 2nd who is 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 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 nordstrom to way back in january of 2022. so even before the conflict in ukraine went red hot,

i want to be clear with you today. if russia evades 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 are 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 the celebration opposition. it seems like washington can't keep its hands off of russia's neighbors. numa spotted in ukraine way back in 2014 handing out cookies. anti government protesters and caught discussing the potential rules of ukrainian opposition. leaders post regime change around that same time a recording late of newland expressing just how much she values u. s. allies and international law. even when they don't point a line with washington's agenda for cave. that would be great, i think, to help glue this thing and how the u. n. help glue it and you know, the, you knew it is 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 are seeking to bond that chinese up take talk on american soil. though the f b i is still struggling to provide any grounds for such a moose. i asked one of my s p, 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. the social media app, known as tick tock has been the subject of a huge amount of scrutiny and alarm ism from u. s. officials and media. there has been a claim that this app is somehow used to collect data for chinese intelligence. it's a threat to the u. s. national security. in december, the u. s. government banned the use of tick tock on federal government employee

devices. now other u. s. states have followed suit and pass laws regarding government devices issued at the state level. and now it appears that what we've been hearing from u. s. officials from media and from other voices in the united states. this claim regarding tick tock and it's supposed danger to national security. it's not exactly based in reality i, we're hearing that apparently the intelligence agencies didn't have any data on it themselves. they were simply following what was said by open sources and by media reports. but that hasn't stopped them from saying it 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. we've been warned repeatedly by our own intelligence agencies that take soc, is the 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 are a privacy danger to america,

to our national security. we shouldn't have the communist party of china having access to a treasure trove of american data that they can use to try to influence into bias. now, it's certainly got to be a blow to the ego of u. s. officials see that tick tock. an app that has chinese origins is now the top downloaded app in the world. it's beating facebook, instagram, twitter, and other us born apps. now, many look at the controversy surrounding tick tock and have to smile because it is well known that these us based applications on social media. how they're very close relationship with the american government. facebook has been hit with a number of scandals regarding the violation of the rights of its users privacy. just recently the european union find facebook $414000000.00 for collecting the data of the you citizens tricking them into agreeing to data collection that was

then used for targeted ad campaigns. but regardless, we continue to have reports from the u. s. government, raising the alarm about the dangers of kick talk. 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, ford man, chinese manufactured io t modules from their supply chains as soon as possible. now all of this might be humorous if it did not have such serious implications. tick tock and application on social media that involves a lot of teenagers dancing gossip about celebrities. all kinds of silliness is said to be a big threat to the safety and security of americans. and this comes, as us officials are traveling around the world, drumming up hostility to china. australia is putting mines in its waters, playing up the fear of some kind of possible confrontation with china or chinese invasion. citizens in taiwan are raising the alarm about the fact that they feel

that the continued flow of us weapons is escalating things and putting the danger of war in the taiwan straits into a new reality. and all of this has very serious occasions. many are concerned about this continued provocation, and this continued hysteria that china is somehow a threat and the implications it could have. now we find out that so much of what we've been hearing about the so called dangers of tick tock wasn't even coming from verified intelligence sources, but was recording to unverified open source claims and us media reports. we can now talk to michael rex involved format and while you professor and also of google archipelago many thanks for joining us on the program. so why do you think take talk on this such scrutiny in the us? what kind of threat does it pose? i think that the u. s. officials are the f b i is using take talk as

a foil to deflect attention away from the fact that they, the f b i the department of homeland security and other agencies. and the white house itself is actually infringing on our rights, our for our rights, a free speech and also our, our information, our data. so this is really hypocritical, double standard deflection from this fact that the f b i and the department of homeland security and twitter and facebook have been in bed with each other for all this time and surveilling upon us citizens as they are indeed, as you say, us officials, a warning that china could use tick tock, they got to use a data or push pro china narratives. however, this comes as a new release. twitter files revealed numerous violations of privacy policy is by matter. but one of many mess is taken to punish facebook or in the ground for those

breaches. no effort so far have been undertaken. although there supposedly going to be some congressional hearings to that effect to investigate when there's really nothing to investigate the twitter files revealed rather clearly that they have been infringing on on, on the rights of privacy on the rights of free speech. and have been surveilling upon those platforms using basically they don't even need a back door access. they have front door access to those platforms and they've been controlling speech. and they've been gathering information that way. and they intend to continue to do so. take talk has become the most popular up among young people around the world. now do you think that the american people will be buying the us government's reasons about protecting american citizens?

if they do move to ballot? i don't think so. i think most of the users are rather or young people who don't buy into this rhetoric, who don't really have much contact with such rhetoric. i'm don't see the threat really. there's no threat because the tic tac servers are actually in the united states. and the data is not really accessible to the chinese government as far as anybody know. so this is a big deflection campaign. on the part of the u. s. the state department, the f b i the department of homeland security, the white house, and congress. i do think it's even possible to completely clear social media platforms from government meddling. oh yeah. it could be possible for sure. if we didn't have these overlords reaching into private supposedly private enterprises and that's really a joke now to even consider them private enterprises. they're appendages of the state. they are government talented, serving the state interest,

and state narratives and state directives. so i mean, we really could have private industry but not with this kind of governmental interference. given the current tensions between beijing and washington, do you think this might just be another ploy under the economic measure to limit chinese profits from project johnson? yes, definitely. this is definitely one of the motivations were, you know, there's this competition with china economically and the fear that china will surpass the u. s. social media represents a rather significant economic sector to control. and it's very much, it falls in line with the new chips and science act that was also passed to dominate the chip production and to keep to boycott and rather to pass legislation against the importation of chinese chips. so again, this is all part and parcel of and economic control and regulation scheme

directed at china. we're speaking through michael rex and vote a former and while you professor on google archipelago also many thanks for joining us on the program. we appreciate it. sure, thanks for having me. before we go some news coming in from the moscow region where a large market has called fire the fiber account in a warehouse of a building materials marketing class, no goals, just north of moscow. the fire has engulfed an area of more than 2000 square meters over 80 emergency work plus special equipment and tackling the fire at the scene. cindy cup market suffered a phi in 2017 with an area of 55000 square meters. there would be no reports of any casualties will bring you more details as they come in. and of course, keep an eye on our website r t dot com for all the latest and breaking news on the thank you for choosing

ah, hello and welcome to cross top. were all things we considered. i'm peter labelle, ukrainian officials in their western backers endlessly tell us that ukraine is experiencing extreme shortages of just about everything. however, there is no shortage of shameless propaganda generated for western public consumption. and it should be no surprise. ukraine is as corrupt as ever. ah, cross fucking propaganda. i'm joined by my guests. wyatt read in washington. he's a journalist. we spoke nick news in o. hi. we have oliver boyd barrett, he is a professor emeritus of journalism and public really.
