3:04 pm
hulu and pollution builder. when settlement liberated from ukraine, ukraine shows them to the ground, to destruction, and such, harris is at 90 per cent or even 100 percent. if we're talking about those killed 40 people died you in the previous year and about $130.00 people were injured. i'm on them civilians, public service and rail with walkers. we should be sent. nevada used to be a major railway hub in eastern europe. however, right now it's not really functioning. and that means that thousands of people are currently out of the job. they're hoping that peace will come very soon, so they'll be able to support their families once again from one quarter of r t. then that's cru public. the u. s. previously claimed the weapons it supplies the ukraine will not be used to attack russian territory. however, the pentagon now say they won't rule out the use of its arms by camps forces against crimea, which has been passive, russia since 2014. as of the washington agreed to consider sending long range bombs
3:05 pm
to ukraine for the 1st time. the small diameter bomb in the latest ukrainian package has the potential the target crimea on. is that the intent behind providing a now? so thanks for the question, joe. so, so yes, as part of the usa i package, we will be providing ground launch small diameter bombs to ukraine. this gives them a longer range capability, long range fires capability that will enable them again to conduct operations in defense of their country. and to take back their sovereign territory russian occupied areas. while the mentioned small diameter bomb deliveries are expected to be part of the newest, $2200000000.00 package of u. s. aids to ukraine. the bombs have a maximum range of a 150 kilometers, which is much further than any other weapon supplied to t f. so far,
3:06 pm
a response to the pentagon's latest statement, the criminal has pointed to president putin recent warning that russia has enough military capabilities to respond to western armed threats from ukraine. let's not discuss this with the cody rights to all the international action center. sarah found is now many thanks for joining us on the program this evening. sarah, as a, why do you think the u. s. has decided to send such long range weapons to ukraine at this time. well, this is really mission creep. it's a constant expansion step by step by step more weapons, every step. we have to look at. so whether they're talking about expanding the tanks of the original decision to send high mars and at which range the discussions now about f sixteens or not every piece of this, there's an enormous number of weapons and us, you know, inventory,
3:07 pm
lots of choices. but it's clear that each choice is meant to expand the war, to do more damage, not in any way to reach a resolution. it will also mean on, on russia's part that they will have to go further into ukraine in order to secure their borders and rushes, rushes borders. so it's an expansion of the war. it's very dangerous. there's no reason for it. it's more money, but higher grade of weapons that actually have doubled the page to be clear, the new us package is still being discussed if there was any chance. washington like change in mind about sending such a long range weapons. well, some of this is meant for publicity, some of it is meant for intimidation, whether they change their mind on this particular weapon. tomorrow's news. we'll
3:08 pm
have another weapon that they're proposing. it won't change the war or the direction of the war, or the continuing inability of the ukrainian military to really hold ground. the encirclement, as was already discussed on this program, continues and also a great number of the weapons that are shipped to ukraine simply go missing on the soul. there's a huge amount of corruption. there's a huge amount of inability to utilize these weapons. so more and more contractors and mercenaries come in and the corruption spreads further. none of that changes the actual direction of the war, or none of that really give ukraine the ability to change change dynamic. let's just say now when it comes to climate,
3:09 pm
climate has been part of russia since 2014. 0, be it not recognized by the west, but wouldn't say ukrainian assault on the peninsula. the fax to be seen is a direct attack on russia using american weapons. yes, of course it is there been no other way to evaluate it. and of course, this is an attack directly on russia and a very important naval base. that is always been a russian base. so it really is one more effort to expand the war to do both more damage, but to maintain. and from the very beginning, this was to us a needle in time. could de engage russia in a long term debilitating war. it's turned out to be very debilitating for ukraine, totally. and also for europe as a whole, for the european union,
3:10 pm
it's not going according to the plan, but it doesn't mean that you're going to stuff. how can the us possibly continue to claim that it's not a party to the conflict when it's now agreed to supply offensive weapons like tanks and long range bombs? well, from the very beginning, from actually from the fascist cool, from the overturn of the elected government in ukraine, the u. s. has been the party, the one calling the shots and this is well known around the world, the u. s. role and, and the 2014 coo and in the years should follow the pumping in of an enormous amount of equipment and trainers, but also the militarization of all of ukrainian societies. the propaganda nation that took place in the schools in those within the whole fabric of society, in the media. the outline of political organizations that in any way were opposed
3:11 pm
to setting of the school curriculum. this is all a us plan from start to finish and cranium had no. so it's a complete destruction of their sovereignty. of course. but the, the fascists grouping who's really running the show in ukraine today are willing to sell their soul and sell the ukrainian people. and it has been extremely destructive. and the only the only choice in this is really to get rid of them. i mean, they're the ones who are in a complete alliance with us and they know in a destruction of their own country. many thanks for speaking to us this evening. really appreciate your insight into the matter. we've been speaking to co director of the international action center. sarah found this,
3:12 pm
thank you. thank you. the us state secretary, antony blane, can house council there's upcoming trip to china. software. huge chinese balloon which page in cold weather surveillance cross was 1st spotted. so thing near the aleutian islands and then again seen hovering near nuclear science in the us states, montana. the american state department has referred to the incident of the violation of its sovereignty. we have noted the people's republic of china statement of regret, but the presence of this balloon in our air space is a clear violation of our sovereignty as well as international law. and there is an acceptable this has occurred. the us in the 3 i crossed the the surveillance balloon. this by china. think it so what the device which trade off course meeting i think that it regrets the unintended entry of it's crossed into american space. the airship is from china. it is a civilian airship. used for research,
3:13 pm
mainly meteorological purposes, affected by the western winds and with limited self steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course. the chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into us airspace. for its part, the pentagon said the chinese balloon pose completely, no threat to people on the ground. the balloon continues to move eastward and is currently over the center of the continental united states. again, we currently assess that the balloon does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground at this time. well, some us officials and media out it's ordinarily hysterical over a foreign balloon flying over the country. we begin today with the breaking headline late today. the suspected chinese spy balloon is floating over the northern us. suspected chinese spy balloon. a suspected chinese spy balloon. there is a suspected chinese spy balloon. that balloon is the size of 3 buffet and it was spotted over montana and montana of course home to several sensitive nuclear sites. bring
3:14 pm
the balloon down now and exploit its tech package, which could be an intelligence bonanza. biden should shoot down the chinese spy balloon. immediately, legal media analyst line or say that if the balloon came from a different country, the amount of media attention given through the incidents would have been way less . i must spend some time over the euphemistic weather balloon. it's a bologna. you should q, nina 99 looped below. it's an air ship. it's no big deal. it just got loose. what are you going to do? a force majority. they're actually saying, oh my sorry about that. we lost control. you know how these balloons are now, what you just saw right now, which was the most fascinating american mean stream corporate media actually
3:15 pm
reacting in a way that is roughly commensurate with the situation that is going on. normally it's, what are you going to do? and i must say something, because i am a cultural scholar when it comes to balloons, that word trigger something. whenever we see somebody fly across the sky at hypersonic rates and make right turns we don't call it a u. f o we call it a weather balloon. these weather balloons are all over the place. are swamp gas. now, here is the question. does anybody understand what this means? when you have a balloon fly over a sovereign country? let me tell you the will use of the word balloon is strategic, is that can you imagine being attacked by a balloon? may i also ask the question if ins, jones of china, we replaced the country with another name. do you think the reaction might be
3:16 pm
a little different? it's incredible to nonchalance russia, banks india's bid to become a permanent member of the un security council. this was emphasized by moscow's envoy to new delhi while addressing the indian council of world affairs. russia supports india, commitment to become and to permanent handbell, to you as a crew to council will see the current engine peasants seeing the g 20 and in the shall high corporation organisation as an opportunity to efficiently promote the agenda of these crucial associations. we appreciate the idea of the consensus base response to the challenges with regard to merchant energy and food crisis as all through sustainable development needs. especially in the global south. the un security council was founded in 1945 and established 5 permanent members at china, france, russia, the u. k, a u. s. as well as 10 non permanent members,
3:17 pm
which reelected every 2 years. and i speak to the un india no to the foundations of the u. s. c. i outdated and widely perceived as deeply on fact. we spoke to foreign affairs expert, dr. swati, rob, who believes india is fully eligible to be a permanent member. i think in just a bit credibility to who can reinstate faith in these though, you know, google institutions because india has been doing such still work when it comes to how it's so staring the policies, you know, i'm in the g 20 right now. beach and g 20 as well as the operation organization. so that one's into is a correct candidate. that's one. the 2nd thing is that, let's also understand that united nations security council is not reflective of the current global auto because united nations security council in many ways is still reflective of the world that was there after the 2nd world war. so it is an institution which is kind of frozen in time. again, i think that's
3:18 pm
a quality concept unless i'm listen until it reforms, it will really lose it. so, you know, i would say it's rational and it will become a little bit. it will be marked by embassies again and again. so i really feel that it really does need to change because it's not able to solve the score duty of maintaining peace and security. the wind and american research has been ridiculed on social media. she tried to blame last year's freedom convoy protests in canada on none other than russia. i published a 7000 word analysis in the journal of intelligence, conflict and warfare to day documenting evidence of russian influence activities targeting the 2022 canadian freedom convoy the estate funded media proxy sources and telegram groups. if i understand your thesis correctly, state media coverage equals state involvement. by that measure, the bbc world service has a lot to answer for seems a bit of
3:19 pm
a stretch. i read your analysis. it said that this is passed off as an academic paper 0 proof just basically that various russian entities provided media coverage . caroline or bueno lives in the us and is trying to paint the freedom convoy as a rush operation, but has not written a single analysis of the terrorist and t for groups that are burning down cities in her own country while shooting at police. officers of the day house. well i'll tell you that neil correspondent, caleb moore, pig, now caleb, good to see you now another day and that allegation against russia. so what's behind it this time? well, once again, we have the amazing carolyn or way now coming forward in this time, she's saying that the trucker convoy in canada was somehow akin spirit. see by russia. now, one of her sources, she sites is none other than the u. s. state department and their global strategic engagement center, basically u. s. government and intelligence officials saying something,
3:20 pm
therefore it must be true if they say it, of course. and it goes further than that because many of want it to the very contradictory nature of this report at one point in the report, she says very clearly that media coverage is not prove of state involvement. but then later in the report, she seems to be making that very argument. here's what was sat. it is unlikely that this coverage had a meaningful, direct impact on the convoy movement. but rather, may have influenced supporters and participants through more subtle and direct pathways, including through social media platforms like telegram. now carolyn or wine has long been a source of amusement. many will recall back in 2019, when she announced that she was planning to do an investigation into us congress, one healthy gabbert allegation, the congresswoman healthy gabbert, the stooge of the kremlin. now her sources turns out were the hamilton, $68.00 folks the the alliance for securing democracy outlet that we just found out
3:21 pm
from the twitter files had no credibility whatsoever was claiming all kinds of social media accounts were russian bond controls when they were not that at all that was their source and she was raising money for a trip to hawaii to investigate. kelsey gabbert, she said, but many pointed out that it looked like she was almost raising money for a little bit of a luxury vacation. this is what was observed. we are crowd funding a project to investigate tool. see, we'll have more details in the coming days, but to see as a noxious politician who presents a serious threat of dividing the left, which is exactly why russia likes her and she likes our sod. so carol, or why not work, it fits the n with a long standing pattern of those seeing russian conspiracies and plots everywhere in the united states. very little evidence presented inaccurate statements, but later on. sources that are later proven to be not credible,
3:22 pm
however no attraction afterwards. i have hit new york corresponding caleb open now with the details. many things with caleb. the canadian lawyer and legal commentator, david fray, hate say north american media shouldn't be lecturing others about. and the biased coverage of the freedom convoy if, if that's the argument that be russian interference comes from r t or russian media covering the protest. it's a laughable premise, but let's even operate on that premise that's interference. you know, what else is interference? government subsidized canadian media, not covering the protests or when they do cover the protests to cover it with slanderous demonstrable lives. cbc can, the broadcasting corporation got to canada, they are, they operate on federal funding to the tune of $1200000000.00 a year? does anyone think that they're going to bite the hand that literally subsidizes
3:23 pm
them? no. so the cdc, in its early days of coverage falsely and also maliciously depicted that protests as racist massage. and you know, they conveniently had that camera men, right. where they had that one flag of the swastika, and that one flag of the confederate flag that a magically appeared on day one and never reappeared to protect their employer. you get the rest of canadian media. prince media in canada, which now survives or survived off a $600000000.00 bill out in 2018 and just intruder flailing dying entities, are they going to report in a way that makes trudel look like a b. dest caught that he is? heck no, and then you got digital media surviving off cove. it adds, government adds it's indirect subsidies. so you have what is effectively a captured canadian media not reporting what their employer doesn't want them to report and reporting what their employer wants to report. and then turning round and seeing someone who covers this authentically and honestly is interference.
3:24 pm
a british intelligence project allegedly targeted palestinians utilizing a contract. so previously accused of supporting al qaeda in syria. as according to lease documents published by the electronic intifada, news outlets. our approach will use a mixture of offline and online primary research and seek to distinguish between whether the palestinian issue is in that miss vibrick issue or a key inflection point on the path to radicalization. using social listening technology, the team will examine the relevance of the israel palestine conflict. these findings will be integrated, establishing a rough estimation of palestinian issues, broader salience in the context of in region radicalization. revelations, claim, the intelligence contract is operated directly out of the case. jerusalem consulate and represent the same group which in advance in the provided funding to, i'll call you back in 2017. the intelligence agents were sent to several refugee
3:25 pm
comes in, jordan lebanon on the west bank to interview palestinians, under the pretext of academic research. when in fact they were there to monitor the critics of western and is ready foreign policy. we spoke with one of the investigative journalists who broke the story assa winstanley, who told us how the u. k. contractor had funded terrorist seeming to impose sharia law. scandalous rarely that the british government is still using this organization essentially to combat al qaeda when it has this proven track record of support in al qaeda. now of course they say that it was done inadvertently, but that denials at the time were very incongruous. i think they were very in my view, very unbelievable. because at 1st they said all this is completely untrue. but then, you know, under question they said, well, you know, some of it did happen, but it was by accident. so why is the questions have to be asked now, why is the british government still using this contract? it doesn't make any sense if their actual aim is combat. outcome 20 percent
3:26 pm
of the budget was going to have to pay to essentially protection money to these al qaeda affiliated groups to know to, to, to give them the security that they didn't have themselves. so what that meant in practice was the british government money was going to fund al qaeda. this was only one instance of that. one example of that happening, the so called free syrian police. and you know, the b c even came with an instance whereby they sharing these, the so called free syrian police were involved in al qaeda support in al qaeda courts. quote unquote civil courts, courts where they are imposing their theocratic penalties on the population in the areas that they were occupying where they are beating the
3:27 pm
syrian government for a time during the war in the country. and that involved in one case, the fake starting to death of a woman. the free syrian please. we're closing the roads in order to enable this to happen in order to find a relevant role for itself within the old bit of american imperialism. the british government and the british deep state has defined services there performs of the empire. and one of the things it does is essentially subs subversion in this kind of way, is that these kind of intelligence operations and they kind of trying to promote themselves as pretty neatly able to do these things overseas. and of course, the reality is that the american empire has lots of such crime states the u. s. intends to increase its military presence on a british basing cyprus, as, according to a bunch of leaks, documents reported by the declassified u. k. news outlets. meanwhile, the pentagon maintains its claim that only 14 staff members are present,
3:28 pm
that the u. s. air force has been using the british base for decades. the size of the deployment has been kept secret length documents claimed that in 2018 there were 87 u. s. m and stationed ads are a f i criteria. it also mentioned the construction of a new $147.00 room dormitory facility at a cost of $27000000.00 to accommodate the same personnel responsible for training you to is by plane cruise. it remains unclear whether any u. s. missions have been carried out from the location. we have requested comments from cypress and turkey, and will, of course, bring you that response. as soon as we get his former pentagon security policy analyst, michael maloof, say the increase in u. s. military presence may be explained by washington's focus on the mediterranean region on north africa. it's a very strategic location. it's just an enhancement. it's probably mostly for
3:29 pm
intelligence purposes, even though they've got an airfield there and that probably will be expanded. and it can be a very central listening post if you will, for not only in the mediterranean, because of turkey and syria, but also all of north africa. and, and the potential expansion as the united states. these are a russian influence going into africa as well for the brits to let us come into their facilities. i think is, it's not unusual, but it's certainly might suggest that the us focus in, in some respect is oriented increasingly toward africa. turkey, the united states now trying to build up its military presence
3:30 pm
with the greeks as opposed to the turks because of the relationship there. so it's a, it's, it shows increasing act activities, especially in the libya in the north africa. and that in those areas are just right for tensions. several mainstream media outlets have warned of quotes russian misinformation across africa. i come to me growing times between moscow on the continent on the west failure to impose its agenda. oh, the report was mentioned luc michelle, a belgian political activists created all the rest of the network, was immediate claim, his website disseminated quoted, russia pop down on the continent and is financed by moscow. despite michelle saying he has no links to the kremlin. well, that comes amid the western agenda losing popularity in africa. again, a fancy has expelled the french home after molly did the same a few months ago became false.
