ah ah, a this out to the boys from the ground, the russian forces involved in on boss, but those locals, are you stay on to the felon? are you going forces with us if i pi mas as killed a priest in a sentence quest outrage over this is by the u. s. secretary of state of washington. and prior to the fighting with in the re does long running conflict a clarion national states with

the western pilot push for the region to position a button on the national kind of a lot of the i'm in the removal of exchange rate control. we heard from local to say the i met is listening the economic crisis. i think the i'm of is just creating a drama when actually the i'm at the job, he's meant to be to help stabilize economies if they need financial help. but here's the i'm up, is driving us to the quote with good, why? well, those are the is i still got a thing life from moscow. i'm right, mommy. and as always it's great to have us. let's take a look at today's top stories, and start with the latest from don bus. local, say

a priest was killed and, and none was wounded in overnights plain artillery, a fac, as a us supplied high miles rocket struck a monastery. this comes as a russian defense ministry says the village of blood. would that noise? in the don't ask, republic has come under russian control. the location is very close to the strategic the importance of the, of our mosque, also known as what, where there is currently intense fighting by taking that, that is false is one of the main survivors of the army. we still holds our to most all season warren got caught up with some of the finances whose task is to target the enemy from far away. a pair of combinations plough the ground on roots to their positions. the enemy is far away. they are safe until they start firing on it from a foot out of it. if they're from a crow, this is

a to s one. was dk self propelled howard sir? good for enemy troops. vehicles, fortifications, its biggest plus is its mobility. we can fire and be gone before the enemy reacts more than $10000.00 of these were built. it is fully amphibious and can sail with very little preparation. that's quick, reliable, and packs a punch. this target enemy infantry on the move. the crews are veterans of the 2nd army. cool. they are lugens glucose when many have fought here the nationalists since the beginning almost a decade,

yearly snip. no, so no, i'm not tired and i understand that we have to do this. i have my children, family, and parents. we only have one path forward to victory. russian forces have broken ukrainian lines around the cities of bach. morton ugly daughter fighting there. he's ferocious, smaller limited assaults are underway elsewhere. ukraine's military reserves are stretched thin losses. evidently, our enormous service aged men around the country are being kidnapped and forcefully sent to the front lines. i mean, the good no opposition or resist sees tolerated anyone who speaks out publicly against this is branded a russian agent to collaborator, to the said, crushing hundreds,

even thousands of civilians are mobilized every day. coordinators work in the streets and even at home and had a one way ticket to a battle ground from hell more. i'd gazda of r t from le ganske. ah. professor rocha on the 5th of the west bank and gaza amid the us secretary of state. meeting with top is ready and passing officials to discuss recent tensions. people gather, gathered with palestinian flags and banners in garza city and ramallah, demanding freedom for their people. with some also using the us of unjustifiably siding with israel, archie had a chance to speak with some of the demonstrators. but here to protest against the american positions which are totally biased as earl and do to send a message to mister lincoln that he cannot tight away from the massacres that are

committed against palestinians and her that they and i just states has done really nothing to stop the, the fascist government in israel from committing crimes against palestinians over the united states has consistently cited with as well no matter what. and that in itself, that betrays the principles that the americans claim regarding self determination, equality, freedom for all, all this. they say it as a fury, but when it comes to practicing it, especially with the listing of people, it doesn't exist and we can assess and he, and we're here to express our rejection to blinking visit to the region, which comes with a new s unlimited support for israeli occupation, which carries out aggressive actions against the palestinian people in the u. s. still sells only lip service to the palestinian people. one of the tough look for me, they were the u. s. a say, a state the policy in prisons and it was not being held responsible for violations

of international law. yeah, this gum swell is really is being overlooked. and without being held accountable for its unilateral actions, including settlements, actual annexations of lunch, cherish, shirtless storming palestinian territories, murdering displacing and demolishing the houses. post indians days in jerusalem. desecration of oxen mosque season fonts, long with ethnic glancing and apart sights. the u. s. secretary of state came to ramallah in the west bank after a wave of violence. they took the lives of both fellows, seniors and his railey and intensified idea of military raids, especially in the campbell jeanine in the north. although occupied west bank that made january the deadliest month for palestinians in several years was at least $35.00 people killed. a hazel meeting with lincoln president of bus said it is time

for the international community to interfere at his meeting with abbas. here in am, allah! blinking said it is important to ensure that his rallies and palestinians have equal rights. but he did not make any comment on these rally policy that is far from serving this goal. we oppose any or by either side, that makes that goal more difficult to achieve more disease. and we've been clear that this includes things like settlement exam, the legalization of our post demolitions and eviction fractions to the historic status of the holy psych. and of course, incitement and acquiescence to the violence. just days ago, the country national security administer gave agree lights to houses demolition and eastern jerusalem that israel considers were built illegally. the move that put thousands of families, honda, threat of being left without a roof. israel also reinforced its military troops in the west bank and made

several statements and promises to strengthen and expend supplements there that most of the world sees as illegal lincoln came here to the region to ensure that washington is committed to the idea of toothpaste, solution to these rarely probably seen in conflict, but the ra actually knew particular tabs towards helping these go come through jerusalem and ramallah. the us secretary of state blinking is expected to visit guys on wednesday. and fear is that not only it will be able to help the tensions on the grounds, but it will make it worth while us empowers push for good to transition to more environmentally friendly energy sources. the nation of south africa is desperately struggling to covers electricity needs and is considering declaring and national state of disaster. it is necessary to have a national state of disaster. this would enable us to have the instruments that

would be necessary to fully address the challenge that our nation faces ever been really frail over the last 6 months. in particular, towards the end of last year, we had over $200.00 days of how i had switch with frequent we followed each have and without any risk bite. this has been the same people here talking about an entire grid collapse. that would mean that the country would mean a couple of weeks, at least to restart the energy supply stream. south africa is not alone. here is also in partnership with the united states, the united kingdom, that you, germany and france over something called a just energy transmission partnership. now that is how south africa is trying to map its way out of its reliance on fossil fuels and making its way into green and spaces these 2 things in this country as seen as conflicting that we eventually

giving up our own coal, which we have in copious amounts, and we are going to rely on the fun and on water and on wind, which is not necessarily in that much of a band is in this country, but dead did not stop gen ed yell in the us treasury secretary who along with many of the american counterparts have been making a bee line for the african continent. as you know, south africa is the 1st country with a judge, energy transition partnership or key to which the united states was proud to come in to support their chemical. and this is representing only the interest that we have seen sol further fully from the way. and they have been pushing this green agenda not only on south africa, but on the continent as a whole. you'll feel like

a guinea p when you're watching this new of european leaders who come to the continent looking for the same fossil fuel, claiming that they're doing an inventory of energy security. because i guess that from everything but we, the pressure to, to not only conform but to lead in this green energy revolution. and one can only wonder how far we can go when we can even have a system supply of electricity using our very own cold war. some backs policies have also been sparking discontent in asia. 1000 national currency has plummeted to the historic load in the us dollar in recent days. after the washington headquarters, i am pushed back to their controls over the exchange rate from locals. who believe the international monks who fund has been worsening? pakistan's economic crisis. bus true got up in the past. life was good money. but

you know, the recent price hikes unbearable bill. in the past, we was to wiley, but now it looks. hodder jolted abbey. no labor, no warrant. everything is expansive. it's very hard to and brad for the family wouldn't. if prices go up would have no work. it did i, i think the i m f is just creating a drama when actually the i m f job is meant to be to help stabilize economies if they need financial help. but here's the i'm of his driving us to a default. if the golden claims they are signing a new program with the i m f and everything will be fine. i don't believe this for many decades. we have seen that the i m f. programs have done nothing to better our economy pilot. actually, they've destabilized our economy. i think the i'm of can play a positive role. i'm already about the i m f program is now to how can the poor, but it's very useful for our rulers. this political system is for them not for the people to la. python has sought out from the i,

m f as it struggles of payoff debt archie, contribute to chris van, takes us through what's happening in paris on and the i'm s roll. pakistan's prime minister has announced that the government is seriously considering cutting energy subsidies to the countries export industrial complex. this is in order to obtain a $6500000000.00 bail out loan from the international monetary funds. pakistan's industry currently relies on vital subsidies in order to reduce the effects of rising energy prices and inflation running at 24.5 percent. the chaos in shoud, after prime minister in man can, was ousted from power. the pakistani whoopee is in free, full trading as low as $270.00 rupees per one us dollar. this crash followed pakistani authorities decision to remove exchange controls between its sovereign currency and the us dollar. according to bloomberg about 30 percent of pakistan's

population up below the poverty line with the majority of them relying on government subsidies just for the bad necessities. it is also being called into question. as i m. s. mission, chief of pockets on nathan porter, arrives in the nation's capital. islam about undoubtedly been with a big red pen in order to slash government spending for his overloads in washington, d. c. the effects of this will be catastrophic, not just for the economy of pakistan, but to plug the nation into objects, poverty, in anticipation of his visits, the government res, gasoline prices over the weekends, increasing the suffering already being inflicted in my view. this is yet another example of us financial wolf that 1st by influencing the ousting of a lead to friendly to russia. consequently, bringing a country to its needs to the u. s. dollar. and now the final qu, degrass full thing, the country to become debt slaves to themselves, and their allies, to the i m f,

to which the u. s. is the largest contributor and the largest voting blog holding effective vito power for most decisions. one can only hope that as we enter this new multi polar walls with the rise of bricks is a significant rival to west and backs institutions. countries like pakistan will begin to see that there is another way, the way of peace and prosperity for all your s m o. 's eleven's left behind june. the have to withdraw from our guys on 2 years ago. i've been reporting the resurfacing and of a conflict in south asia. i thought he versus of a legend leaving using us and for i'm 16. so rifles in the insurgency is indian soldiers, the kashmir region, us republican congressman, and now calling for a thorough investigation house. republicans warned this would happen yet. there was 0 oversight or investigation into biden's disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan

under nancy pelosi rest assured we will be holding hearings and looking into the consequences of leaving so much military equipment behind. but yeah, for the region has been a persistent source of tension between india and pakistan. in recent decades, the region says waters were china. i've asked some, the initial conflict started off of the partition of india and $947.00, as well as in the am packets on claimed the entirety of the region. and now in the controls approximately 50 percent packets. 30 percent of the land. now more than $7000000000.00 in u. s. funded mercy equipment was in the possession of the afghan government when the power bomb in august 2021. now that's according to the u. s. defense department report published last august. now by included some $20000.00 us

missy hum b vehicles and more than $200000.00 atomic automatic, i beg of them rifles and almost a 100 or so. us combat drones plus ammunition and other accessories and some of those weapons now appear to resurface in other parts of the globe. those who kashmir authorities 1st reported the use of us made weapons last year after an alleged insurgent was arrested by cliff terrorist. kaiser cochran neutralized identification of secondary as being a certain incriminating materials, arms and ammunition, including one usa made rifle, one pistol, and other materials have been recovered from the system. professor india is mody university who believes a kashmir weapons and can also be seen in the ukraine. conflicts as the u. s. does

not adequately track the all i munition it these the hind in mercy conflicts. i think it was a 2021 in august when that you got me live and they gave the hires an access to like 7000000000 or off on some nations and those arms and ammunition right now a b in boy a to me and all the extremist group which you're working on, like how cunning it was like jason on the, on getting those arms. and i want to show in exceedingly low price and they are trying to stabilize the situation in, in non india, especially in general with me. so this is very alarming situation for india,

where there is no drugs are having top notch western arms and i'm not the 1st time you bring this, this kind of scenario. even in the past us has done similar to the scenario, especially when these are the night guard, or most of the time when you called me they left any country they just handed over to have so many we've been. so there is a possibility that i need to work on some kind of an issue with fighters for green zone news outlets. a cited leads, government documents are saying, but it's really been telling us deployed a psychological warfare unit in the balkans and attempt to counter russian influence in the region. another barrier to convert in this information is the fact that certain criminal back narratives are factually true. for example,

one of the country's most prominent pro kremlin narratives relates to russia's ongoing support for bell grades. in the course of a dispute, which is true, responding to inconvenient truth as opposed to pure propaganda is naturally more problematic. i call it union niels spoke with the reports, author grays, and you say that the claim number says london, main tactic to undermine russian influence around the world is to demonize moscow. yeah, well i mean, i think that they just, i mean, that particular exercise from a file to talking which an internal far as far which discusses the difficulties of combating russian dis, information in this context. in order to insidious the inputs i'd state to should, the british need to undermine russian quote unquote influence on the need to demonize moscow. the eyes of the local population. the leak implies that london is

aware of some of what they call russian narrative despite calling them factually true. what does that suggest about the agenda as a whole? but a year ago, a disastrous documents showing that both running to governments attainment communication campaign, which is very, very odd. this was done in total secret. it's never been publicized before advertising for london doing this. but since the start of the word ukraine, those documents took on and since the dimension brushes soldiers been deployed to industries, a sorry, a among them counter disinformation experts quite wide. that isn't clear. but it just struck me that the same mechanism and the same tactics that we used by the participant army, clearly abroad to compel citizens to comply with corona virus restrictions, which was, you know, terrifying people submission were now being applied. get to run up the post post threat of russian aggression and that will justify their own military

deployment. meanwhile, format, british chief advisors of bar sales and dominant coming pasco, u. k. government is heavily influenced by the so called deep state for which accountability tools votes all the them of the process isn't a primary consideration. there are kind of deeply entrenched institutions which actually practically control huge amounts of watkins with 0 to very little democratic insight or even a knowledge and understanding the deep state israel. the deep state actually controls vast majority of government, and most of the elected people have no understanding or involvement and what's going on. that's just a fact because a lot of what's happening right. this really gets screw, shoot, shoot, confusing, and difficult. often what's up thing is very good, sensible intelligent officials with genuine public service. you actually understand what the hell's going on fall better than the idiots who are elected archie trying

to stop did you to are being elected doing terrible things. and oxford university graduate who's been working in back rooms as a strategist for the past couple of decades. serving more recently a strategist for the pro brags campaign and then as chief strategist for former british prime minister morris johnson. what cummings is clearly suggesting is that democratic elections are just window dressing. it's all just a big charade. the former top aid explains how these deep state actors hid behind anonymity and made decisions on things like home related locked downs, travel restrictions and anti cove. a job mandates. clearly they weren't worried about having to answer to the public coming, talks about the systemic, undermining of democracy with all the no sales of ordering up a pizza. and around the same time that cummings was musing about the deep state. a whistleblower came forward in the british press to disclose that the british army

spied on coven lockdown critics, including high profile journalists. the work i was doing should never have happened . this domestic monitoring of citizens seem not to be driven by desire to address the public's concerns, but to identify leave as for compliance with controversial government policies. the, this political monitoring happened under the guise of contrary misinformation highlights how without serious safeguards, the concept wrong information is open to abuse and has become a blank check. the government use this in an attempt to control narratives on line . contrary to their stated aims, these government truth units are secretive and harmful to our democracy. so is this what cummings was talking about, sending the military to spy on those who oppose the narrative and rules crafted by the faceless, deep state actors he spoke of. who then use that information to craft responses that the 1st battalion of idiots and morons, otherwise known as elected officials,

can go back out to the front lines and defend, in part by branding anything else that contravenes or contradicts the official narrative, dis, information. how exactly do they manage to square all that with the image of britain as a free democratic and transparent system to which other countries should aspire? sometimes under the threat of sanctions, sounds like perhaps the u. k. should 1st try holding itself to that standard and see how it goes. ah, jeremy's decision to provide supplies of his main baffled sank. the leopard to the inquiring i've spoke, concerns about western powers becoming more deeply involved in the conflicts resigned and german generals. saba dorm says, his countrymen, violating his own principles, adopted after world war 2, against and trained to another devastating move she conflict. in europe. germany is

entering a new phase of participation in the war against russia. germany not only prolonged the death of people in ukraine, but also becomes a party to the conflict. the slogan, no more war was considered an unwritten lauren, germany, hatred and militaristic cry should not prevail in germany again, they thought i speak up in protest against these deliveries of tanks and other heavy weapons from germany, which means prolonging the war and killing people in ukraine another roadside jo and lindsey gerald said that by following years, policy looked to inclusive grandpapa legal assistance for ukraine. the german government is essentially serving as a vasa vessel under washington. i fly into rage when i see absolutely groundless, unilateral accusations against russia. the entire history of the war in ukraine has been forgotten or deliberately hushed up. i am infuriated when i know in

a pyre balk the minister of foreign affairs and the highest rank and diplomats of our country shouts that we will turn rushing to ruins with a devotion of a german vessel. we faithfully follow the militaristic policy of the united states, all main transatlantic alloy, aimed at world hegemony ah rail aaliyah's. isabel would leave her very anew to enjoy package of willing to longer reigns on tillery rockets. this covers a top including tons, official, threatening, increasing and tax on russian territory. you can read more about this much more on our website policy dot com. why that rosa? this is news. our peter lavelle. hong kong is up next, i'll be fine with everybody. his video with

at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great change. huh. we were going to keep the food and medicines in supplies. and fleet with ah

ah hello and welcome to cross stock or all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle almost one year into the conflict. no major western leader is called for talks to bring peace to ukraine and europe. instead, we are witnessing dangerous escalation. the great tank debate is settled. will it be fighter jets next? where does this n ah cross talking escalation, i'm joined by my guess peter cousin, they can. washington is a professor of history and director of the nucular studies institute at american university as well as co author with oliver stone of the untold history of the united states. in bangkok we have brian or let take, he is a geopolitical analyst and a former us marine. and in toronto we crossed.
