ah, with from rising tensions in the middle east, fueling the ukraine crisis. karen found itself today. blame for stirring up all kinds of trouble in the world. at least according to the u. s. secretary of state who's in israel for talks with the companies prime minister with outcome within the wake of a drone attack on military facilities in around around has reportedly summons that ukrainian diplomat for questioning after ukraine's presidential advisors to have an attack on the western asian country. would be expected, i make claims. it's supporting rushes military also ahead of the countries. right.

expect them not to interfere in the bilateral relations between pakistan and russia . bacchus, thousands foreign minister essays cooperation between us about in moscow will include new plans for an oil pipeline. now the country faces the fear energy work with on for lithium. the german chancellor tourist sites on murray kits and an attempt to secure supplies of the strategic material. but china appears to be ahead of berlin in the queue with live across the world around the clock. this is our take good to have your company today. our top story, this monday in moscow, around has found itself as something of a punch bag. now the u. s secretary of state, touched on in israel today. anthony lincoln's been holding talks with prime minister benjamin netanyahu on both were quick to assign blame to tehran for all

sorts of legit reasons. it's a time where many in the international community, i would say, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. they've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports aggression. beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. we discussed deepening cooperation to confront and counter rance, destabilizing activities in the region and beyond. just as around as long supported terrorists that attack israelis and others. other teams now providing drones that russia is using to kill innocent ukrainian civilians. the golfer, more or less cross live to israel and ortiz, middle east correspondent maria for national. hi there, maria. so or run seemingly the focus, all of those talk kickers through the meet yes

. hi, unit temperatures, i certainly rising as we hear these statements from these really prime minister in the us, secretary of state, just days after. and iranian military facility was attacked by drones to her and did not blame anybody officially, but they were careful reports in both american and israeli media that israel with the u. s. support may have been behind this attack before coming here to israel, blinking said in an interview that all options are on the table regarding the rent in fred, including military. so yes, a very, very bowling moment. but i have to say that the rock tension is even close to blinking. came to israel at the time, a major escalation. and a dramatic twisting these rally palestinian conflict that he himself called a circle of violence. america's tub diplomats said that washington is committed to the idea of 2 state solution and the anything that contradicts this idea could be

harmful to israeli security in a long term and could damage. she's drills identity as a democratic jury said he also said that both sides had worked together hard to try to deescalate the situation and to ease the tensions. but unfortunately, so far we have only been witnessing the opposite. last thursday was the deadline day for palestinians in 2023. as 9 people were killed in the idea of military raid, of the camp of jeanine in the northern part of the occupied was bank, including police, one civilian. it was followed by a deadly terror attack in east in jerusalem, but took the lives of 7 jews, a group of washer for his was attacked by a gunman. the time when they were coming back from a sub a prayer. after that, we heard the number of hearts statement from both the palestinians and adrian with remodel on our scene, but they now caught security cooperation. we jerusalem and israel expressing it's

firm determination to counter terrorism. so blinking is expected to jerusalem to visit both the west bank and gaza, where palestinian protests have already been announced. again, washington double send a policy. so the world is now watching closely where there is visit here at to the palestinian territories. and israel will be able to ease the situation or rather make it worse, back to you. something right now she had taken us through that from jerusalem. thank you. well, i was maria just mentioned the statements by lincoln. netanyahu come as a ram has reportedly some of the senior ukrainian diplomat in the country. it follows controversial comments spine advisor to ukraine's president after a drone attack on a military facility in central iran and a post on twitter. the key of official said it was no surprise or ran was attack

because the country is given its military support. he claims to russia. amid the ukraine conflict, my colleagues, research shay and eager should've picked over the statement where logic is inexorable and murderous. it builds the authors and accomplishes strictly panic and russian federation. endless mobilization missile defense in moscow. trenches 1000 kilometers away. bomb shelters, preparation, explosive nights, and rum drawn. and miss l production oil refineries. ukraine did warn you. the story is kind of weird and the details aren't really just in the yet. so we have to, we have to tread carefully here. this is what i mean to say. unlike what the ukranian advisor to the president to the landscape did when he went on twitter and just rambled on twitter and openly gloated about this attack against iran. and so really it's no surprise. but right now, apparently the deputy ambassador is being summoned into iran for questioning

because look at it from the following perspective. like iran is not attributing any blame like run is not blaming anyone for this just yet. nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack too, but really hardly a surprise that right now to iran is apparently summoning the deputy ambassador to do some explaining because they are saying, well, look, maybe they go like, well, do you know something that we don't know who is behind it, why did you say that it was a long time coming or stuff like that? so in terms of detail, again, they're very, very costs. we do know we've seen pictures of a military compound in the town of it's for hon. it's a town to the south of the capital to run, and it is also, this is where the site producing iranian unmanned drones is in military drone s. and they have been kind of boosting the production as of late. and we've seen some photographs with some very minor damage done to that particular compound. and the iranian saying that a bunch of drones were shut down by the defenses. and just one just happened to

crash on top of that compound. and again, a lot of lots of that has been coming out on the story has been well just for it was fake news. and so we have to really tread carefully. but anyway, we do know that ron has, of course, condemned the aggression and has said that well the this, these attacks, they will not stop iran and prevent iran from following its own diplomatic route heavily. hello, sorry kid, that my height was following efforts by the enemies of iran's nation aiming to make you run insecure in recent months. this cowardly action has been taken today. our country security will act with maximum potency to provide national security in the country. and such actions must not affect the will and intention of our experts in order to progress in the field of peaceful nuclear plants and see iran got the wrong side of the west in so many in so many areas and aspects as of late like it

has been expanding its nuclear program, it has been accused of supplying military drones to russia, to a russia in its effort, in its military effort in ukraine. so really, that has been plenty of speculation as to who's behind these attacks. maybe it's israel, you know, the usual suspects when it comes to that part of the world and iran maybe in the united states. both nations have explicitly denied their involvement. however, listen. pentagon spokesperson brigadier general patrick roy and i said no us military forces were involved in strikes in iran, but declined to commend further. so as you were saying that the facility was only slightly diameter look pretty minor, frankly, the israeli media is called the whole story, essentially a lie. and when you talk about potential culprits behind this, this drone attack and iran, okay. as you say, it could be some sort of clandestine israeli thing, could be the codes as well. it could be any kind of us sympathizing group in that part of the world, frankly. and the fact that iran hasn't singled anyone out and yet it's only right now, reportedly summoning the ukrainian ambassador in the country that i mean there are

angles here. we just are not getting a clear picture on, but what do you think is actually happening? well, it is difficult to make a judgment on that without being on the ground and watch and seeing it with your own eyes. but definitely it looks like the information attack against it has been more of a. it has had a larger scale than what has been happening actually in terms of physical violence and physical damage. like initially when the 1st attacks happen, be reports, the port out of the region have been all over the place. some sources suggested that israel had begun a ground operation of all things in iran, just stopping just short of will, you know, mewling whether or not that was the start of the 3rd world war. and so there have been all sorts of claims that there were multiple missile attacks against multiple military compounds and to iran, in, in iran, again still oil refineries and oil facilities. and all of that were under some oil

facilities. they were caught on fire that were all videos of them being a blaze. but again, iran has blamed the aftershocks of an earthquake for that. so again, it looks like the information campaign against iran and against iran has be in full swing right now. and by keeping silent by not jumping to conclusions and to just, you know, dishing out accusations by refraining from that. it seems to iran is trying to douse this whole hysteria and so that everybody has time to come to senses and then figure out what to do and what sort of retaliation and more importantly, who will have to back ok, some updated figures coming into us on the program and more deadly news, at least 61 people have been killed and scores more wounded in an explosion of mosque in northwestern pakistan. early report say a suicide bomber had targeted people during afternoon prayers rescue workers were

quickly on this scene. the pakistani taliban group has no claimed responsibility. it's believe for that journalist. no, sir, at our war center, this reporter news. he's got the name of home. i'm standing in front of the main gates of the head office of the provincial police in betcha ward. my goal today is suicide bomber at sack worshippers during afternoon prayers. inside the masa health authorities see they have declared a red alert and an emergency and have asked people to done they'd blood, all the local emergency services rushed to the area to rescue the people. after the explosion, the front part of the mosque collapsed and some got stuck under the debris. heavy machinery has arrived to clear the area. officials here see the media is not allowed inside until the error is cleared and the rescue operation is over and they will provide the final figure of casualties. in more details later. a russia is

foreign minister circle of ralph, expressed his condolences on the deadly attack to his pakistani counterpart during a meeting in moscow. on monday, bilateral trade was the focus of the face to face with pakistan's top diplomat, stating he expects other countries not to interfere in trade between islamabad and russia. and this is waltz bellow, while bhutto sir dari had to say in response to immediate question on potential u. s. encroachment. in that regard. deed, we've had and continued to have detail conversations on energy, cooperation between pakistan and russia. as you may be aware, pakistan faces severe and the energy of crises and problems and as far for them other countries, right. expect them not to interfere in the bilateral relations between the pakistan and russia. are we absolutely will do whatever is necessary to provide our people

are with the necessities that they to, they require, or both parties reiterated their commitment towards developing an enhancing relations between the 2 countries, especially now as russia is seeking alternative markets as we know. and also pakistan as we heard from the foreign minister, the country right now is facing severe energy crisis and also severe economic challenges to which is something else he touched upon. so this is of course perfect timing for both countries to help each other out. and this is something that started 75 years ago, dismay, awe, pakistan, and russell will celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. and let's not forget that in 2000. and 15 august on m, russia agreed to build a multi $1000000000.00 gas pipeline tax, soon to run through pakistan transports, and russian liquefied natural gas from karate. to lavoy was supposed to start in 2020, but it was put on hold because a western sanctions and this is the status of the project right now, a pros,

affiliates was of blood. you know, the issue is that as an advanced stage of development, and i'm sure that further progress will be done on the near future. in this regard, i would like to dwell on what was said to my pakistani colleague regarding the u. s . guarantee that they will not interfere with our energy deals. of course, they will interfere the united states literally publicly without embarrassment, quite arrogantly declares to every one that it is impossible to make deals with russia, but to prevail. a majority of countries including our colleagues and christine, are guided by their legitimate national interests. both parties expressed a desire to continue donald to the shanghai corporation organisation was sergey land rover, reminded us once again, that it is more reflection all the world right now. the reality because it's a multi polar platform, a poncas stands. foreign minister also said that developing nations are currently suffering through the negative consequences. all the crisis in ukraine brought the

threats of western sanctions, will not intimidate them and will not stop them from continuing to do business with russia. the i g seat cover a wide agenda, encompassing a car, economic trait, and especially energy cooperation, pakistan views. russia is an important player in the west, south and central asia, pakistan and russia have good cooperation on over on his thought. we aim to continue cooperation with our russian friends and realizing our common goals of peace and stability interval on his thought. we also just discussed bilateral cooperation at multi lateral, for especially within the united nations and the shanghai cooperation. so mainly right now we're really waiting to see one pack swing. we'll get going. and also when the 2 countries will switch to national currency, something else that we heard about. so national currencies, when it comes to doing business, some interesting development on like china,

the u. s military industrial complex is not a part of the government. so say's american lawmaker marco rubio, as he defended washington's restricting of commercial investments into china, mid fears that the revenue could fund beijing's military. well, i think those 2 things, the 1st is the chinese have found a way to use capitalism against us. and by what i mean by that is the ability to attract investment into entities that are deeply linked to the state that military commercial fusion that exists in china is a concept that we don't have in this country. we have contractors to defense work, but there is no distinction in china between advancements in technology, bar medicine, whatever it might be. and the interesting watching on interestingly to vote our tea correspondent, killer my pin in new york. he'll of good to see you. i'm not exactly sure the senator's statement would pass a thought are a fact check tickers through the background to this if you will. well,

you just have marco rubio. they're saying that the military industrial complex in the united states isn't one giant financial endeavor, and that it's not driven by money. but a quick overview of the facts points to some other realities. for example, every day, the department of defense posts new contracts on its website, new contracts with private corporations, the current secretary of defense. he lloyd austin is a former board member of the corporation raytheon. and in addition to that, lloyd austin and he has owned an investment firm that bought up a smaller defense contractors and corporations that did business with the pentagon with the military. if you go through the details, there are other corporations. i mean, currently on the board of raytheon, you have a former general, you have a former defense secretary and

a former admiral. if you look at lockheed martin, another major defense contractor and military corporation at 2 former generals on their board. and recently we've had statements from the u. s. space force, basically confirming their deep connections with the private sector and with corporations in the united states. here's what's been said. from my perspective, what's so exciting to the space force and space acquisition community, about all of this commercial innovation and these commercial technologies are that we can use those to maintain our technology lead and over and deter conflict with our, with our competitor. and i will tell you, i have never in my 25 years seen the department move so much money, so faster towards priority. things that have been identified through this construct that the secretary laid out. and so that's exciting. and i create opportunities for us to go after and harness some of these new technologies that the commercial companies are developing. so marco rubio,

he points to cooperation between the private sector and the chinese government in chinese military and says, we don't have this in the united states. but if one looks at the details, it's just hard to see how he could possibly make that statement. honestly, for example, when it comes to members of congress, lawmakers who craft national policy and it a lot of them have defense stocks. they are heavily invested in corporations that financially benefit from military operations and the pentagon and its operations around the world. and this is not even a new thing. and i, let's recall that in 1961, dwight eisenhower, who was the u. s. president warrant about the military industrial complex and the co operation. and unwarranted influence of military corporations back in 1961. this is the president of the united states at that time. this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the american experience,

the total influence, economic, political, even spiritual, is felt in every city. every state house, every office of the federal government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsub by the military industrial complex. the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. so when marco rubio points to the united states and says that the huge cooperation between the government and the private sector, when it comes to military matters, is an understandable example of the free market in our american system working quite well. and then he points to china and says that, oh, it's completely unacceptable and the, you know, the government there is simply some kind of military dictatorship. he really needs

to look himself in the mirror. i mean, the double standards are pretty obvious to anyone. and the nature of the militaristic us economy and the way it functions. and the way the u. s. economy is very much dependent on war and military manufacturing out the u. s. government and the military corporations walk in lockstep and coordinate their activities. that's obvious to the whole world and it should be obvious. demarco. rubio, breaking down that story for us. this our r t correspondent. caleb, my pin. germany is interested in lithium production. that's the message from the countries chancellor on his tour of south american countries not are rich with the strategically important material. but will berlin have to join the back of the que german companies are very interested in expanding corporation, especially in the field of lithium. and we want to support cheesy on that path to sustainable mining. schultz follows natural resources around the world like

a group. he follows a rock band last year. he was obsessed with scoring gas, which wasn't a very good look for a guy who keeps openly found his eyes about ditching fossil fuels. so now he's in south america begging for lithium, which is needed to power his dream dreams as a key component of electric car batteries. for example, schultz is hitting up. she lay the world's 2nd largest supplier and argentina, which isn't too far behind the ra states that think that all ro, materials come from china. but this is not true. men or raw materials in fact come, for example, from argentina or chilly, get cheap to china, a per says there and sold again. the question is, can one milk move the procession of these materials, which creates thousands of jobs to those countries where these materials come from? yeah, guys don't send it to china, process it and generate on the pollution right here and then ship it straight over to me. come on, do you want jobs or not? jessie figured that talking about quote, sustainable mining of lithium means that people won't notice, the extracting lithium from the ground isn't actually sustainable. when it comes to

you, the water that depletes leaving the soil destroyed, or that each ton of mind, lithium produces a 15 ton carbon footprint that's occurring to mit researchers. so, why don't countries like germany use erupts, lithium? you know, other than the fact that it's nasty to get out of the ground, well, it simply doesn't have enough to meet its needs as it pushes electric cars as the way of the future headlines all over the western processor and shelters visit to south america, have focused on germany's lithium shortage and how the lack of supply negatively impacts carolyn's ability to compete with china's electric vehicle industry. european greens don't want mining in their own backyard, even if it's for green cars. yes, it's okay to mine it in latin america though, because there is going to be obviously green and sustainable. schultz says, unlike in europe, really, this is all about the use economic engine, germany scrambling to secure supply of critical resources that they've been getting from china. washington hasn't been shy about the fact that it wants its allies to

cut trade ties with china, but that's a tall order for germany. and for europe, given that china produces more than 70 percent of the world's batteries and refined 80 percent of all critical minerals. and south america, trade ties with china are just expanding like with a new deal inc with bolivia, and that includes help to develop its lithium reserves, which are the largest in the entire world. so that means that germany actually end up having to deal with china any way to get any lithium in that place or in elsewhere in south america. that would be an awkward conversation. may i speak to niger in china, comes up. that would be a little weird, but european commission president, queen ursula vander line, is kind of acting like a character of a j. r. r. tolkien novel in the sense that she wants the precious da da china controls the global process and industry almost 90 percent of rare earth and 60

percent. the fleet, him, a processed in china, will, will identify strategic projects all along the supply chain, from extraction to refining from process and to recycling. oval build ups. her teacher cruisers to worry. supply is a 3 so. so i guess is bad when china makes resource deals. but good when europe does because europe would never, ever consider its mercantilist approach. a kind of neo colonialism, even though it's foreign affairs chief, joseph burrell, literally compared europe to a garden and the rest of the world to a jungle during his speech last year. speaking of which beryl has also recently got off in blatant search of natural resources to africa, saying that he needs them for europe screen agenda. but the big question is whether these countries to which european leaders are going cap in hand, are willing to play on the west terms. when it seems to be pretty clear that they hold, i good hand of cards. the french president,

emanuel micron, has lost his credibility, that is the domain claim of the turkish liter rigid ty bird. one whose loss died out. his counterpart, claiming paris only held itself to blame for its fading influence in africa. actually the head of france. believe me does not have the weight to be the head of that state. look, they're exploiting african countries. right now molly is in a complete break with france right now. became a facet, gave it one month. now macro has lost his credibility in the parliament. he's not honest, france is constantly losing credibility, his losing credibility in the international community as well. well, to put or to one's words into context. anti from sentiment is on the rise and parts of the african continent, including what aquino fossil molly on the central african republic. thousands of people recently rallied in they burkina faso capital. why do go calling for the

expulsion of french troops from the country within a month? forest has already withdrawn the remainder of its forces from molly on the ca are the t r t news channels. world editor at large use of earned believes president are to one, now sees france as a source of instability in african. they definitely are losing credibility on the international stage and they're losing ground as well. i mean, we're entered an era, right? the new powers. now we're seeing very competition with new countries like china, to yeah, russia entering the african market with much more to offer than the french much more metric relations much more way to approach them to print shop in the past. when we look at the french history and the recent action side, france has been monopolizing brain has been exploiting africa for a very, very long time. use the french as a source of instability inside africa. when we look at the civil war,

when it say that france was one of the major actors and major decision makers basically bringing about the libyan civil war in the follow mom or could not be or had another slice of cross talk auction coming away in moments on today peter and gas have their days said firmly on one particular german green. that's next. ah, the ah, by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british empire. the

colonial authorities had imposed that heavy death bringing the people into poverty and were exporting natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the traditions of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizens. the british were showing signs of disrespect even to those who cooperated with them. the fact of ignoring the religious beliefs of the hindus led to the mutiny embassy boys, mercenary soldiers serving under the british crown. rebellion began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india. in the form of a mutiny. the rebels quickly took over daily. the heroic resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal. the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels cruelly in slaves. the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. these type of.
