[000:00:00;00] ah ah, from being asap posted, malignant the influence in the middle east to fueling the ukraine crisis to run find itself, blame for stirring up trouble across the world. at least according to the u. s. secretary of state and is really prime minister who've been holding talks in israel without kelloms in the wake of a drone attack in around around the house, reportedly summoned a ukrainian diploma for questioning. after it's up official said attack on that country is expected them. it plays it's supporting rushes military also i had on the phone for the countries. right. we expect them not to interfere in the

bilateral relations between pakistan and russia. bacchus sounds foreign minister say continued partnership between islam upon moscow will include new clubs for an oil pipeline. the concrete faces severe energy with on the upper left field. the german chancellor tours south america, and then the attempt to secure supplies and all pay strategic material. but is berlin too late with from moscow to the world? this is our to international. great to have your company today. my name you didn't know neil. iran has find itself as something of a punch bag. as the u. s. secretary of state, touched on israel on monday on 3 blinkin spain holding talks with prime minister benjamin netanyahu,

and both were quick to assign blame to tehran for all sorts of alleged recent. it's a time where many and international community i would say, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. we've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports regression 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 a rance destabilizing activities in the region and beyond. just as around as long support terrorists that attack israelis and others. other team is not providing drones that russia is using to kill innocent ukrainian civilians temperatures. i certainly rising as we hear these statements from these rarely prime minister in the u as secretary of state, just days after an iranian military facility was attacked by drones to her and did not blame anybody officially. but they were careful reports and both american and

israeli media that israel with the u. s. support may have been behind the so tag mcfall come in here to israel blink and sat and an interview that all options are on the table regarding the ran in fred's including military. so very, very bowling moments. but i have to say that the ra tensions even closer blinking came to israel at the time of a major escalation. and a dramatic twist in these rarely palestinian conflict that he himself called a circle of violence. america's top diplomats said that washington is committed to the idea of 2 state solution and that anything that contradicts this idea could be hung full to ease railey security, no long term and could damage israel's identity as a democratic jewish state. he also said that both sides had worked together hard to try to de escalate 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 jeannine 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 it was attacked by a gunman at the time when they were coming back from a suburb prayer. after that, we heard a number of harsh statement from both of palestinian authority and israel with ramallah announcing. but they now cut security cooperation with jerusalem and israel expressing its firm determination to counter terrorist. and after jerusalem, lincoln is expected to visit both the west bank and gaza, where palestinian protests have already been announced against washington double send a policy. so the world is now watching closely whether this visit will be able to

is the tensions on the ground or rather make it worse. maria mention there around, has reportedly someone, the senior ukrainian diplomats. it follows controversial comments by an advisor to ukraine's president after a drone attack on a military facility in central, around in a post on twitter. if the key of official said it was no surprise, iran was attacked because he claims the country militarily supports russia. in the ukraine conflict, my colleagues re, to share the ecosystem of talk through the statement earlier more than once ukraine warned a rom, the consequences if supporting aggression against ukraine will be far larger than the benefits from cooperation with russia. we don't know reason for the explosions at the reigning facilities, but as persian folk wisdom says don't harm others, and you won't harm yourself. we're logic is inexorable and murderous. it builds the authors and accomplishes strictly explosive night in

a rum drawn and missile production. oil refineries. ukraine did warn you. the stories kind of weird and the details aren't really just in there yet. so we have to, we have to tread carefully here this what i mean to say, unlike what the ukranian advisor to the president to zalinski 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 that 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 iran 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're 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 scars. we do know we've seen pictures of

a military compound in the town of it's for hon. it's the town to the south of the capital to iran, and it is also this is where the site producing iranian unmanned drones is in military drone as 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 rainy and saying that a bunch of drones were shut down by the air 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 fools, it was fake news. and so we have to really tread carefully. but anyway, we do know that iran 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. tell us how you could add more 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 plans 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 petri cry and i said, no us military forces were involved in strikes in iran,

but declined to commend further. so he was 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 hit your 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 iran. 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 that poured 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 bursting bilateral trade was the key focus of a meeting between the russian foreign minister on his pakistani counterpart on monday, with the letter stating he expects other countries not to interfere in trade between the storm about moscow. the words came in response to a question from the media on potential us encroachment in that regard. deed we've had and continue 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 form of the countries right. expect them not to interfere in the bilateral relations between the pakistan and russia. we absolutely will do

whatever is necessary to provide our people with the necessities that they to, they require, or both parties reiterated their commitment towards developing and 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, ah, marcus on russia will celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. and let's not forget that in 2000, and 16 august on m. russia agreed to build a multi $1000000000.00 gas pipeline tax, soon to run through pakistan, transports in russia, 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 process that for you it's was of blood. you know,

the issue is that is 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 with 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 costumes, are guided by their legitimate national interests. both parties expressed a desire to continue donald to the san high corporation organisation was sergey lab rover, reminded us once again, that it is more of a reflection of 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 abuse. russia is an important player in the west, south and central asia, pakistan and russia have good cooperation on over on his thumb. we aim to continue cooperation with our russian friends and realizing our common goals of peace and stability in a varnish thought. we also dressed disgust 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 interest in development. germany is interested in lithium production. that's the direct message from the countries chancellor on his tour of south american countries were the strategically important materialist find. no. lithium is used in electric car batteries. meaning of course german auto motive. giants like mercedes volkswagen. they're hungry for the scarce resource, but berlin's facing plenty of competition for it. german companies are very interested in expend corporation, especially in the field of lithium. and we want to supple 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 the sizing about ditching fossil fuels. so now he's in south america begging for lithium, which is needed to power his green 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 raw 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, upper 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 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 along 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 process around shelters. visit to south america have focused on germany's lithium shortage and how the lack of supply negatively impacts berlin'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 ok 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 inked 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 out. 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 obstruction to refining from process and to recycling. oval build up strategic reserves to worry supply is at risk. 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's the dumbing verdict of the turkish liter ridge of ty berto on whose lush died out his counterpart, claiming paris only has 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 there. 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. anti front sentiment is currently on the rise in parts of the african continent, including quino, faso, molly and the central african republic. thousands of people recently rallied in the book in a capital why duke is calling for the expulsion of french troops from the country within a month. or it has already withdrawn the remainder of its forces from molly and they c a r t r t news channels, world editor at large use of our beliefs, president or the one not as the front of a source of instability in africa. 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 franchise. 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 kids 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 the president of croatia. slum the e u plan, or lack there, all of us, he puts it to end the conflict in ukraine. zuraw milosevic stress is the,

the current course of continual arms deliveries. li, ensure is that more people will die. natural, awesome. i'm again sending any lethal weapons to ukraine. it prolongs the war. people are dying, and there is no plan. what is the plan? the disintegration of russia government change? i see in the a u parliament that some polish and lithuanian representatives are talking about tearing russia part. it's frantic. it's manic, depressive behavior. the remarks come as a conservative grouping is said to host an anti russia conference in the european parliament. topics help for debates and include rushes suppose of imperial ideology, the impact of the conflict on russian regions, and the prospects for the d, imperialist zation on d colonization of the country. well, one of those behind the event is a former polish minister of foreign affairs on current european parliament member

who recently wrote an article calling for russia, which she brown's as the last colonial empire to be destroyed on carved alpa. the international community cannot take a comfortable position on the side lines waiting for developments, but must undertake a brave initiative that supports re federal analyzation of the russian state. taking into account the history of russian imperialism, and the respect for the rights and desires of its nations. this terrorist organization, even if it is seen by many as an empire should be dismantled. there are many possible solutions and strategies for a controlled, constructive and non violent, dismantling of the last colonial empire in europe. this project, or for breaking up russia, or to frogman jupiter ticket, he rush hour. each said. is the dream of from the muster. russo phobic, cure earth leaders of some european countries. but all, sor, we're united states or united kingdom. so we'd say we old saw to were, destroy,

rush, us power it. since you know g will be sort of consolation or a ideology her o to, to concept rush are simply and to colonizer reminder of peeper or fragment on if access to where you would resolve sees of oil guys and the under array of resources . and finally, this news, our turn night in chimneys ears, parliamentary reflection as amounted to only 11 percent. according to preliminary data, a large number of voters and opposition groups boycotted the votes, claiming campaigning, and the ballot itself wasn't carried out fairly. a data though to almost 90 per cent or rather 89 percent of tunisian voters ignored this piece of fear and refused to be involved in this good detox scenario. that does not represent them at all. she noticed you,

we hope to take turns you from good to better because tunisia has deteriorated for the worst in all economic and political fields. and we wish that those we voted for give us their best and be in line with our choices. so he said, when he wrote his constitution, he ignored the committee. he had formed because he wanted the parliament to be a group of people in a close place who had no influence over the country situation. now the next parliament will have no control over the government. so then how will the impedes who are making promises to the people have the mechanisms to keep their promises. they have no authority in the government. less than 900000 of the 8000000 people eligible reportedly cast their slips. a number of independent organizations observing the voting process reported a lack of transparency in some of the pulling stations unclaimed. they weren't given access, took turn out dates of incidentally in december's 1st run votes at turn,

it was even smaller at 8.9 percent. a significant reason for that is believed to be parliament. having its power is limited under legislation introduced by the chimneys in president in 2021. but discontent with the leaders policies brought thousands of protesters to the chin is in capital st. earlier in the month, a dozen years after rallies in the north african nation caused a chain reaction in the region resulting in the so named are of spring back then western powers, praise the pro testers for bringing about suppose it democracy, transparency, should the middle east, egyptian academic dr. saeed. sunday. the leaves, the uprising fail to deliver the changes. people had been hoping for regina political accuracy into nice. yeah. local indonesia and many offspring countries. the field that politics had between them did not provide the promises and the

chances it was going to provide. second situation is also freezing and not happiness was the situation them in general, apathy in the country club, the parliament to the president of the opposition. and so nobody can claim and justify what that's happening is that the people of fed up with politics in general and for lots are out for now. i from the newsroom. but of course the stories never stop and r t dot com. do check out the latest news and use there when you come out, catch you again. so i, for a a germany for administering them in a better box and the white art out loud when she cleaned european nations are fighting a war against russia. indeed,

what has been called the gap is in fact the truth. the collective west is a war with russia and their client state. ukraine is losing me. ah patel. i'm also the, let me start with the issue that has been a lot and the headlines recently, and i mean the, the tragic death of, of mos armine, which sparks ah, a reaction not only in this country, but also a broad, wider thing. this tragedy costs such an last sing and such a broad response public response. i am food and i believe it with your permission. i would like to discuss this issue in depth. the thing you referred to as a tragic death and the news of which resonated throughout the world is actually a new form of what we call the policy of intimidation. says

a policy that america is carrying out against my country. iran for the very essence of american foreign policy is intimidation, says over the past 50 years. the u. s. has always thought to scare our people into submission. they've sent their navy to our shores is showing off their warships and their missiles. they've forced us into flawed and unfair agreements with them going on. it is always been about intimidation. however, what you mentioned is just a new form of the same policy that are more by doing this. the u. s. wants to say to us, love with it. i'm right here in your very cities, i can take terrorists to the streets and set cars on fire. so they want us to submit to surrender lawyers. this is a component of policy of intimidation that america has deployed and is pursuing against iran to show a skewed picture of our country to the world. i imagine that you 2 now have

a similar experience of dealing with america. as it promotes false narratives about russia to the rest of the world, america exercises its power through the media and others. mass media is used to push intimidating narratives and falsehoods. that's their modus operandi. or if you want to sell weapons, make a country afraid of something and nobody off us. and so americans to bully our neighbors into being afraid of iran, they do the same to the global community. they want people to be scared. i agree with you that the west has always, or has long used propaganda as a, as a to against countries that they disagree with. and that happened with regards to russia . there augusta ran and with regards to many other countries. but if you look at the particulars of the story, you know, our young, 22 year old woman who was detained,
