2:07 am
a blow to britain's economic hopes with its shady p forecast to shrink our t contributor chris and discuss the story earlier with my colleague union and o'neill. we've heard that the demon glean prophecy be coming out of every single western news channel and the head of state for, for the past year. but clearly not true. i mean, here i've got the statistics union. i mean, the, the more interesting thing is they're saying that the russian economy, you know, it's going to, it's going to grow this year by not point 3 percent. but probably the most interesting thing is that projection. so 2024 is that the united states economy will grow by 1.4 percent. but the russian economy will grow by 2 point one percent, which is really near the figure of china, right. and we're taking a country that in spite of sanctions, right, we're taking a country that really, you know, transition to capital is the money in the ninety's. and, you know, didn't have a good time with it. as be honest. that as now, you know, sort of is able to sort of be a powerhouse of economic growth. opposed to you mentioned the u. k which you know,
2:08 am
where, where it's absolutely failings. it's very interesting just to see these figures yet . what's behind the resilience here? because as you say, for some time, leaders, officials have said that russia's gone, russian is not going to survive this bombardment of sanctions. but it is, yes, i think it. and it's really the, the us in particular. but the west is we were fast the below the time thought that everyone would fall in line. the fact is that russians allies that take the prime example turkey, also a nice so member, refused to sanction russia. and there's no problem with me getting coca cola, just like coca cola now isn't produced. russia, but it's been produced in iran. it's produced in beckett's done. so they've problems on that. what we've seen is just all of this west and rhetoric, as you've said, and we've actually got a really good clip that we can look at out just to show us what they said a year ago. the sanctions measures we imposed today, i think without question,
2:09 am
were the most consequential ever levied on russia and arguably, the most consequential ever levied in history. russia industry is in tatters. and it is the kremlin that has put russia economy on the pass of oblivion. in concert with our allies, we would agree a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to hobble the russian economy. at the end, we saw boys johnson, right. you know, barts johnson was telling everyone in the u. k. actually everyone in the world. i mean, he was one of the 1st people to jump on the planning. going cesar lensky, property wise, is now saying he's got a name, a street off through here. and you know, we look again, let's just go back to this report, we look at these numbers union, i mean the u. k. economy is now shrinking by not point 6 percent opposed to all of your opinion, allies, but directly. okay. not the best figures, but nothing like that. and it's probably due to the fact that the u. k. just embrace u. s. foreign policy. the u. k has sent the largest military aid package,
2:10 am
the ukraine, a pop 2nd to the u. s. an economy. there is no way near as big an economy that still reeling over the effects of breaks it. right. so the real issue there. and on top of that, we've looked even the new york times, hardly a friend of russia telling us that the russian economy is going to recover on import an export to the same level as before, the special military operation. so really, these, these numbers speak for themselves, but i think we can say it any clearer. the sanctions have completely and utterly failed. asian economies have also been on the rise with the latest data showing that india and china are doing far better compared to their western counterparts. india is economic growth this year is that an estimated 7 percent the highest among all major economies? india finance minister has praise the economic performance of the country during the 2023 indian budget announcement at the ministry of finance. the new dully. until as economic growth is estimated to be at 70 percent. it is notable that this
2:11 am

2:17 am
israeli army said it has attacked a hamas own facility related to weapons production. adding that the group will be held responsible for the consequences of violating israel security side are caught from the alcoa newspaper. believes a 2 state solution is impossible. as palestinians are completely denied any human rights. as long as israel is intent on colonizing the west bank, there is not going to be any room for a house in state. let's face it. i mean the way that israel bisected and dissected the west bank was war all's on. jewish only roads and check point $750.00 checkpoints. all this makes it almost impossible to have an independent palestinian state. what we have today is really a one state, but one state where a good one group has supremacy and rules, the land, takes it whenever it wants to control the resource,
2:18 am
it controls the roads. and another group that completely denied of any human rights . totally. the human being constantly an attack, the brutalized by a military occupation, palestinians are under occupation, so they have a legal right to resist occupation. i mean with no, no, no on the horizon where they expected to do. just roll over and play did they can do that. so the path is resist. i mean, this is their landers to their home. they have no way to go. there is nowhere else to go. meanwhile, is really security forces continue to push forward with the demolition of palestinian houses that israel sees as a legally built r t 's. maria phenomena explains ah, we are in vain. tanina in east and jerusalem, where these bulldozer accompanied by israel, the board to police forces,
2:19 am
we can see many of them right here a has just arrived with the mission to destroy the house is that israel sees as illegally build. this is part of a massive demolition campaign announced by the countries new national security minister shortly after last friday is deadly jerusalem synagogue attack that claimed the lives of 7 civilians. the local arab population refused these allegations, claiming this is an ongoing policy aimed at punishing palestinians and depriving them of their land. this time it was a coffee shop. the owner shows us the official order from the jerusalem municipality that gives him time till this coming saturday. 2 hours after i was received the papers, his little cafe had been levelled for you. this is pure racism, the police and the man in charge refused to see the papers. no law allows them to demolish it. they do whatever they want. and the last 2 days they did the same
2:20 am
without orders starting sunday, demolitions have been happening all over easton, jerusalem, around $22000.00 buildings are currently under threat of been bulldozed. this is the entrance to jabber, macabre, another neighborhood in easton jerusalem scene of recent clashes between local residents and israeli security forces. the reason of these tensions is the same hayes rose decision to demolish tens of houses belonging to palestinians in this neighbourhood. again, israel claims they are in legal constructions. 34 of these houses belong to the but she has family since they were built back in 2009. the family has been fighting for their rights on lend and construction. bait thousands of dollars in fines and for courts and lawyers, but they've only managed to save part of their properties with a new government space with demolition. they've lost their lost hope. they took all precious things from their houses and left i she and the one you're living under mafia and gang sco. this is not a country,
2:21 am
but they are simply kicking us out of jerusalem. they have a plan and step by step. they advance at the end the reached their goal, a 100 percent. here it's like cancer. mohammad is officially homeless now. and so all 3 of his brothers and his uncle and his father as well as they wives and kids. but he says they want to give up. i'm the, i'm sure we will stay here. we won't move, even if i have to sell my lungs and all my organs, we will stay here. we are the sons of this land out of lot of law in return, the municipality promise is to build facilities like schools and kindergarten. singe obama cupboard for the needs of the residence, but that's little relief for those who can not leave here anymore. well, it was very fast, the vehicle is now a bow to leave. local palestinians say no matter what they are offered in return, be compensation money or home somewhere else. all they need is they are land and they are houses here. rif notion, r r t from bay tanina in east,
2:22 am
in jerusalem. the latest batch of twitter files has further discredited the russian bots. narrative revealing that most social media accounts were american falsely linked to russia by a washington based project. mainstream media in the u. s. went all out with numerous stories on so called russian bots and recent ears. but despite being officially called out, they seemingly have no intention of correcting the articles or even reporting on the story. outlets like the new york times and the washington post based or accusations, citing the so called hamilton 86 group. the group itself, however, appear to have been giving out false information about russian linked accounts r t has requested comment from the new york times and other sources on the articles containing the inaccuracies. asking if they will label them misleading. we spoke to people on the streets of new york who said deleting the articles would be the right
2:23 am
thing to do. i think they should just own up to their mistake, right? in all if you make a mistake, just sorry we made a mistake. this is actually not factual. they should at least acknowledge that this was actually an error and just accountability all the way here with the media would never do that because the media is bought by soros and, and that whole direction. and they're not giving any news. media is one sided and only goes after you know, whoever's paying the bells over there or whatever their opinion is. that's or they support at least that the main outlets where i'm here just the fact that a lot of stuff is based on fear or sort of more fear you put in the country to more people will follow. i mean that's, it's really that simple. i mean, the more you can say the scary rushes are coming. they will let you do that. so archie kayla mop it brings us more on the hamilton group. revelations. the latest drop in the twitter files reveals some blayton dishonesty from high ranking
2:24 am
u. s. officials pushing the russia gate narrative. so back when talk of russian bots and trolls was all the buzz in american mainstream media. an organization called hamilton 68 found its way into the headlines tracking accounts. they said were russian fake accounts. russian bots went to work, seizing the opportunity to spread inflammatory messages on social media. russian election interference traces back to a so called bought factory in st. petersburg. except now we find out they weren't russians at all. this is what mat tie you. bay reports after going through the twitter e mails released to him by a law mosque. there was a, an organization called hamilton, 68. their secret sauce was a list of 600 accounts. they said were linked to russian influence. well, in the twitter files we found, the list is full of real americans and what they basically did as a fraud. hamilton 68, wasn't just some random internet blog. it was a project of the alliance for securing democracy. on its board of advisors were
2:25 am
many prominent people, including john podesta, who served as president obama's lawyer and the chair of hillary clinton's campaign . mike mc fowl who served as the u. s. and faster to russia and on obama's national security council, prior to his ambassadorial position, was also on the a s d board, promoting the hamilton 68 claim. the explosion of violent profane tweets from russian trolls. as well as harsh reactions from some russian government officials in my feed today or striking a new assign that putin and his cronies are nervous. your thoughts. here's john podesta hacking the hamilton. 68 narrative using it to try and de, legitimize trump presidency. the bottom line is russia did interfere in our election. there were indictments for coming. they, they did try to help donald trump get elected president. the hamilton, 68 claims were all over mainstream media. so many outlets repeated the allegations
2:26 am
about russia being responsible for right when voice is on twitter. but we now know this was not true, and there was no evidence to base it on. we have requested all the mainstream media outlets to comment on this. since twitter and other outlets have been known to label stories, misleading, or suppressed certain news items like 100 biden's laptop, we wondered if now they would take action against the many place where the hamilton 68 project was reported is accurate. no response to us yet from the mainstream press. it would mob artsy, new york. meanwhile, western politicians, i've taken their campaign against russia to a new level with a polish member of the european parliament, calling for rupture of the russian federation. there are many possible solutions and strategies for a controlled, constructive, and non violent, dismantling of the last colonial empire in europe. the rupture of the russian
2:27 am
federation will bring unquestionable benefits and security, including energy security and in the economy of europe and central asia. the ukrainian government and its supporters are not so suddenly floating trial balloons here at the heart of the democratic west that risks becoming more like the hindenburg, a disaster. just a few days ago, polish member of european parliament, anna for teja published a peace in the western press, advocating for the dissolution of russia. like she's talking about remodeling a kitchen. so basically, exactly what fatigue and her anti russian pals don't want to happen to ukraine. they seem to think that they're the masters of the universe picking and choosing which countries aren't allowed to be countries any more. she sounds like a bad guy in a marvel movie who's obsessed with destroying planets like fan oser galactus from the avengers. but it doesn't stop there. together with my colleague, customers let off ski we're glad to host numerous experts, historians, journalists,
2:28 am
politicians from both sides of atlantic, and leaders and representatives of more than 20 nations of the russian federation, who will gather in brussels in the european parliament to discuss prospects for the des colonization, and deem perla zation off the russian federation. yeah, just come in and enjoy some tea and biscuits and fantasize about destroying a country. since one did these become european or western values anyway, across the pond, a rucker's university professor mused last year about the notion of pinning quote, collective guilt on all russians for moscow's actions. russians could help their cause by expressing collective shaman outrage had the putin regimes a genocidal behavior. i don't seem to recall professor or any of his colleagues evoking collective responsibility for all americans, for any of washington's foreign invasions. so where is this anti democratic
2:29 am
thinking coming from? while one source is a 35 page document that's making the rounds among ukraine's allies, authored by the ukranian government representative for crimea to mila. to shave a, it's a road map envisioning what would happen if keep retook crimea, which would include evicting, so called russian collaborators from crimea using information collected by ukrainian intelligence and digital surveillance tools. then settling ukrainians in crimea, de rus sufficing all institutions and infrastructure. and finally, destroying the courage, bridge that runs from like the crimean peninsula to post the russia, which by the way, was already bombed last year in an act attributed to ukraine by the western and ukrainian press. citing a senior ukrainian official top french news network, etc. hosted a panel debate on this plan with experts from journalism, academia,
2:30 am
and the french military. she yell when lafitte girl reveals to document that explains how the ukrainians with somehow the colonized coin mia in the advance of the military victory. so they're counting on this military victory. and they have already build a plan on how they will integrate crimea into ukraine. so what is this plan? what does it say? you will see that it's quite striking blue? well, just another debate, right? and well striking is one way of putting it. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski calls it quote, an excellent political tool for discussion. but casually discussing a proposal for essentially what amounts to ethnic cleansing on mainstream french tv, even if the guests in this case treated it as little more than an intellectual exercise. nonetheless, effectively serves to normalize these radical ideas and legitimizes them as a viable option. there's nothing wrong with free speech and debate.
