a call from the us defense minister in the aftermath of washington shooting dawn of what aging has called a weatherbug the wherever you're capturing the program from this hour. welcome to moscow. the news our on our t international, my names, you know that we begin this our with breaking news award winning journalist seymour hersh has unveiled his investigation into september's, nor stream pipeline explosions. the american concluded the attack on the russian gas trumpet project was a u. s. norwegian operation and had been planned for 9 months, going back to 2021. ortiz marina cost. her a detailed, the revelation by does decision to sabotage to pipelines came after more

than 9 months of highly secret back and forth debate inside washington's national security community about how to best achieve that goal. for much of that time, the issue wasn't whether to do the mission with how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible. this was all because all fears are threats to western dominance. is that how the white house of the white house saw it? and what they wanted to do was make sure that russia is weekends so that there are western dominance as they saw in europe remade because north string one was already irritating of the united states. they already saw it as a threat. now nordstrom to was nearing completion, and this would double the amount of cheap gas coming from russia to germany and to western europe, of course. and this is something that they wanted to eliminate. and apparently this is how they started discussing this. so as early as a 2021,

i joe biden authorized the national security advisor of the united states, jake sullivan, to create an entry agency group that would be tasked with figuring out how to eliminate these pipelines. now this group, by the end of the year, jake sullivan created another group that then had the task of figuring out how to do it. this was top secret. if this isn't just in some c, i a room you're seeing, this goes as far alleged as the president of the united states. exactly. and the meetings that took place. apparently this is a source. seymour hersh is quotes in a source that is directly involved in the operation of this. and he says that by the end of 2020 of on jake sullivan convened the meeting. had guys from men and women from the joint chiefs of staff, the cia and the state and treasury department. and they all had top seek several top secret meetings as for out of the following year. and the details are provided

in this article which makes all of us assume that this is legitimate, aside from the background of seymour hersh, which will get so in the 2nd. but for example, they met in a secure room on the top floor of the old executive office building adjacent to the white house. that was also the home, all of the president's foreign intelligence advisory board. so these are some of the details that we're getting. so they had this top secret meetings and they figured out that they need to get rid of rid of the pipelines, but how do they do with union? how do they do it? so there were a number of proposals, for example, in this article that are as quoted, the navy proposed using a newly commissioned submarines for salt the pipeline directly. that was an approved the air force disgust. dropping bombs with delayed fuses that could be set off remotely at an obviously that then go ahead as applying the celia to said guys, whatever you do, just make sure it's covert that no one finds out about it. now, the ca, at the time it was directed by william burns,

and he is the one that came up with the master plan of using the deep divers, a deep sea divers to trigger an explosion along the pipeline. so then early 22, we are now i in january the c, i a working group reports back to jake sullivan and says, when we have a plan, we know how to do it now. and let's see how they figured out when the would be the ideal time to do it so that no one would suspect anything. the norwegians had a solution to the crucial question of when the operation should take place. every june, for the past 21 years, the american 6 fleet whose flagship is based in gaia to italy, south of rome, has sponsored a major nato exercise in the baltic sea in rome, scores of allied ships throughout the region. the current exercise held in june would be known as baltic operations $22.00 than the regions proposed. these would

be the ideal cover to plant the mines. so the only all nato exercise as became the cover. so in june 2022, they use those annual nato exercises and they plan said explosives, with norway's help, they planted those explosives, they found a way to camouflage them so that russian navy didn't suspect anything. and then i'll say whence and then is the perfect cover really wasn't it, and you could do it not just the week before, but some months before you could plummet and finalize the details. that's what seems to come out of this article. exactly. and that's what they did. apparently, there is a there in this article, they said that the white house had doubts because they wanted to do it right away. and then they said, well, it will look a little bit of this. if we do it right after the exercises are over, so what they did was then they asked another assignment was, can you figure out a way how to designate them out at a later time? meanwhile, we had a few slip offs from

u. s. officials. we had joe biden saying that if russia invades ukraine at the time that we're saying early, 2022 right before the special military operation began. so already jo by then is discussing how the will eliminate notes from one analyst from 2 of before that in january we had the tory newland who was also saying how they should be happy if the pipelines were destroyed than that they would find the way to do it if russia answers ukrainian territory and the group that was working behind the said, what are they doing? slipping up on our we're, we're, we're, we're working on this behind the scenes and they're going ahead and publicly saying, well, if something happens, we're going to get rid of all the pipelines. and i want to be clear with you today . if russia engage ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. your firm if russian raise and meas, tanks of troops crossing the of the border of ukraine. again,

then there will be we, there will be no longer a north stream to we will bring an end i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that nordstrom, too, is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these pipelines that is more streamlined from to we're not pumping gas into europe at this time. more through to never became operational, knew that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. there are countless of sound bites just like that from us officials a who are a great for that. this happened and we heard that from before. and also after the terrorist attack, which has brought russia, considers it. and we should just touch of course, as you mentioned on the person who curried, i think incredible investigation so much thought her background went into it's seymour herse. he could quite literally write the book on investigative journalism

. yes. a award winning journalist, investigative journalist, and he's the one who's responsible for, for example, looking into the my lai massacre its cover up during the vietnam war heels. he received a pulitzer prize for international reporting for that. also we have in the seventy's, he covered the watergate scandal he also. and which is very interesting because that was, that was to do its source is a key. so when he's talking about his source here, he knows how to choose them. he knows who, who fabricates. he knows who lives destiny yet. and this is why that source that is so close to the operation of this. this is why i would assume they trusted seymour hersh because of this background. so i, i wonder what the u. y will do now and how they will try to defame him or how they will try to say, because already we've heard that they're saying it's pure affection. but how can they argue with someone who has a track record of producing quality, journalism and investigative journalism and uncovering secrets within the white

house? while the u. k. editor of the investigative website, the gray zone kit lauren berg sees there are still many on answered questions about the incident or too often and the case itself rich, it seems that it's not metaphorical. yes, i mean, you know, people can be driven by principal. there's also a massive self interest, you know, whether you want to cover your own track. so make yourself make your sofa in this, in the manner of face language on the list. was a low christopher wiley and yeah, i mean there's been this, this was done. i think that is my son, isabel. she washes latest investigation. the in fact that this was limited. hang out. you know, the people who did this, oh, we're guy potentially involved in this, blaming someone else. so yeah, i mean, i think it's always, boy, i mean, both, you know, from the public perspective as a journalist, to be skeptical and questioning of why someone has come forward with no documents

to back. you know, while, while the u. s. refutes any involvement in the attack on the north stream pipelines, an investigation into the instant conducted by some european states continues. russia's foreign ministry spokesman, re as a harbor say, the nations in question have undermined the investigation. we have repeatedly voiced russia's position on the evolvement of the u. s. in nato. nothing that they did not hide this boasting to the whole world about the intention to destroy the civilian infrastructure, through which you are perceived russian energy resources. we also regularly noted the reluctance of denmark, germany, and sweden, to conduct an open investigation and opposition to russia's participation in it. and this, despite the fact that our country has incurred huge costs versus report suggests

that all this planning of the sabotage predates the conflict in ukraine popping off at the end of last february. it also refers to german chancellor, all of schultz is visit to washington to see joe biden, on february 7th, 2022. saying that this plan was discussed with schultz and that he was on board with the american plan, despite being initially quote, wobbly. and now norway is also looking like a firefighter who was moonlighting as an arsonist, like the country was interested in creating an opportunity for itself by involving itself with these pipeline explosions. rather than just a few days ago, norway said that you sanctions prevented from helping with the investigation into the north stream explosions. la october, sweden, denmark and norway obstructed examination of the damage of the pipelines. and now this is further confirmation that russia really was not involved in blowing up its own infrastructure just as the ceo of north stream previously said. he also hinted

at who the perpetrator could be. wording says, he doesn't believe that russia is responsible for the attack. the russians know who else and nato country warning note silently. england. it's all speculation, but think about it. so her shes report alleges that norway was washington's partner in blowing up nord string, one and to norway. secret services select it, the placement of the explosives. according to this report, norway hated russia and wired to sell its own gas to europe at ledges and russia gas prevented that. now, western press reports have been pointing out since at least last fall. exactly how much cash norway has been raking in since the russian gas was cut off from europe, or europe was cut off from russia gas now its revenues last year and were estimated to be about a 109 $1000000.00. so a jump from $27000000000.20. and the polish prime minister has accused norway of

war profiteering over that windfall. and the u. s. has expanded its military presence in norway over the last while, and it had a listening radar into russia based in norway and get this norway, it's parliament even voted last november to give the us legal system jurisdiction in some parts of norway over whatever us soldiers might get up to in the way of crimes when they're off base with in norway. so norway allegedly also ran interference according to her, shes report for washington with neighboring sweden and denmark. and they did that. so these countries wouldn't get suspicious if they saw a divers in the area place, he'd be explosive. and apparently they, norway was not supposed to tell sweden and denmark exactly what the divers were doing there. just if they happen to see divers not to be concerned that you know

they be there and don't worry about it. so now really it just kind of remains to be seen exactly how the you will respond to this report of its very best friend and ally, washington allegedly colluding with one of its very own member states, norway to blow up a critical economic lifeline. weeping, gathering reaction to revelations from all over the globe. today, reiner roth was vice president of the alternative for germany, party and bavaria. essays, the luck of interest. berlin, the spade and finding the facts of the new extreme. sabotaged demonstrate of the lot. i mean the situation a, according to the interests involved in the nod stream pipelines was clear beforehand and turn the little engagement of germany in really analyzing the yeah, the back ground off of the blowing up or not stream to showed us that the

germany itself felt obliged to obscure the back round to a sack of agnes, and alternative for germany. had asked in the german parliament for further information, and they have been told it's too secret. that's even a parliamentarian candy informed about it. so this shows that it's something that needed to be disguised. it was just unclear what were that is the exact details behind it. i mean, it's a clear, i guess, to all of our spectators that there is an overall geopolitical pattern that must be addressed when we talk about the east west conflict in europe. okay. some updates now from the conflict and don bass authorities in the done yes. republic say at least 2 civilians have been killed and another injured after residential areas where again, shell by key abs forces. more than 30 shells were said have been fired at st

villian areas up the next city from ukrainian hel positions. a number of apartment buildings were hits along with a local shopping center ortiz ramon caceres filed this report with 2 civilians were killed in john esque on wednesday afternoon. they died right here on this spot. this is a purely civilian area around me or her residential building. so this is a major supermarket of a major supermarket chain. now the impact of the shell is that right here. this is the crate earth that was made by a 155 millimeter missiles supplied ukraine by nato countries. now 2 people died instantly on this spot. one woman, her legs were blown off. ah, the men, he also suffered shrapnel wounds and died on the spot,

and one person was injured. and now they're treating that person. had a hospital here in don, ask michelle a bureau variable the 1st shell landed while i was working on it. i had come out here to the elderly woman. then i heard the whistling sound of another common shell which hid the gates of the shop in santa. i managed to run into the basement. when i came out there were 2 dead people. there are no mil sir, facilities nearby, only stimulus leaf here ru rama. there was an explosion, a blast wave came, and windows were blown out and the whole building here 2 people died. the woman's legs were turned off and the men was lying on the ground. now apart from the people who died vis, apartment building also suffered damage. you can see local residents are now collecting things that flew out of their apartment, but almost every single window on this side of the apartment building was blown out

another day, more victims and more destruction by the ukrainian military roman casa. have arti done next republic. oh, okay, another story to bring you now the pink floyd co founder and peace activist roger water, it has addressed the un security council at rushes invitation. the legendary musician condemned growing western arms stripped mins to key f saying he was alarmed at the serious escalation of the conflict prophets from the war to line the pockets of the very, very few. and the hedge. a monic march of some other towards unipolar world domination, sees reassure us that that is not the vision for there is no good outcome down that road. that road leads only to disaster. every one on that road has a red button in the brief case. and the further we go down that road,

the closer the she finger is get to that read the roger waters addressing the united nations security council. let's cross live to new york, and ortiz kill up north in for more. hi caleb, you're not exactly a usual voice. heard the security council today take us through that. sure. well, at the opening of the meeting, we did hear from roger waters and his eloquent words were praised by a number of members of the security council who spoke afterwards. however, the u. s. representative, he didn't really seem to have much use for roger waters comments. here's what the u . s. representative said in his remarks. we unequivocally reject the victim blaming notion that ukraine self defense is the obstacle to ending this war. the security assistance including weapons that the united states and more than

50 other countries are providing and will continue to provide is for ukraine, self defense. this distinction cannot be more important. now, shina echoed what was said by roger waters that pouring more weapons into ukraine is simply not proven to bring the conflict to a closer resolution. and there wasn't going to be a military solution to the conflict that it was necessary for there to be a negotiation between the major countries involved. there needed to be a de escalation and negotiation and the step toward piece, not the pouring of more weapons. now, russian and bass nor to bend the, he took to the floor and g, use this opportunity to point out that for western military contractors, this war and ukraine, which they are actively prolonging as been a financial bonanza. here's what he said. coming to the constant flow of alms deliveries for the last 3 months of 2022 alone,

the corporate equities have risen by more than 20 percent us alms manufacturers have also gotten exercise area for weapons testing. how could alms manufacturers possibly resist this? the money allocated to key have doesn't even leave the u. s. his gang straight to the u. s. alms companies, the west has found a pretext for increasing revenues. the west is directly involved in the conflict, not only by sending alms, but also by sending most rece give orders to we did a move, so russia and china echoed what sounded like the message of roger waters, which was that there needed to be negotiation to resolve the conflict and that for a more weapons into the key of government was not a good move, wasn't going to lead to peace. now, there were polite words from other members of the security council toward roger waters. and there were clear differences, regardless that there was a pretty clear call from the united states to simply condemn russia,

to blame russia for the entire conflict. and despite their willingness to hear from roger waters, it seems like the other representatives that were aligned with the united states were not really willing to look beyond the u. s. narrative that blames russia for the entire conflict. so there were clear differences articulated at the meeting. it was certainly certainly a rare day at the un headquarters where we did hear from a member of the cultural and artistic community making an appeal for peace. plenty, certainly someone who does his research as well are te correspond mckillop up in. caleb has all the thank you. came to the story to bring up the dates on the pentagons. revealed china rejected a request for a high level phone call in the wake of the recent dining of the now infamous chinese balloon that had flown across parts of the immediately after taking action to down the p. r. c. balloon the do, do you submitted a request for

a secure call between secretary austin and p r. c minister of national defense? unfortunately, the p r c has declined our request or commitment to open lines of communication will continue. washington claims that balloon was a surveillance device. china say the explanation is much simpler, stating it was a weather monitor dotted straight off course chinese, a fur, especially victor gao, till my colleague re sushi that relations between the 2 countries have been dealt a further blow by the incident. this shooting down of an innocent, humblest, as ship all the balloon of china by the u. s. military using one of its best. airplanes, for example, is an affront to china, is a damage to the china us ah, understanding with each other and is all over reaction to what to a balloon wake up. therefore, i think it's absolutely legitimate for child. the refuse to have any paul call

phone call or beating with the u. s. secretary of defense. so if a chinese balloon is an american as face, or even just above it and america shoots it down, wouldn't this then give the right to china to shoot down any number of american assets that violate its air space nearly every single day? absolutely. i think for the recall the china has been condemn in the united states again and again and again, not just for days or weeks or months for years full. the fragrant violation of channels, sovereignty and territorial integrity for violating the one china policy, etc. so if charla would do exactly like what the u. s. military did a few days ago by shooting down an innocent, harmless as the u. s. military characterized this issue, a airship, for example, from the air. then china will be fully justified to shoot and shoot and shoot again

and again and again. but what will the consequences, charlotte de la, the stage will be at war with each other, who will benefit neither the charlie's people nor the american people, therefore undergoing as the u. s. government need to know the consequences. sanctions on syria must be immediately lifted to get life saving a to those in need. following mondays, devastating earth quick disaster, that's the demand of the serene, our bread press, which saves lives that could be saved or being lost. i. he'll as law if they can amik sanctions imposed in our country is the main obstacle to get a needed equipment. with this, we demand for the legion of economic sanctions and the siege in order to allow a deliverers and humanitarian actions to be implemented. serene base political analyst bus him avo abdullah, believe the u. s. is playing political games when it comes to aid,

going to sorry. there is no u. u. n. sanctions against syria. there is u. s. united states and e u sanctions against this is fair. everyone would know that for humanitarian aid, these sanctions should be listed in spite of that united hill lion. yesterday. mister bleak in our resent us department, samantha power, the director of us a say that we will. we will a held that ne off here. you either in that you like this trying to divide the city and people to divide. you graphically amid the total devastation seems of hope can still be witnessed. this young girl was plucked from the rubble of her wrecked home after being trapped for days,

russia and emergency workers have joined in with the rescue efforts, trying to reach those most in new. but every hour the grim death tool continues to serious 2nd largest city aleppo as well. no theory is worst affected. moscow's defense ministry says brussel teams. there have help, save more than 40 people from the ruins so far. scenes of utter desolation and neighboring to kia as well. of course, the epicenter of the natural disaster. former high rise apartment blocks have been reduced to nothing but mountains of broken concrete and twisted metal. what signs of life getting more difficult to detect? nevertheless, the front thick search for survivors for life goes on. more than 90000 deaths have already been confirmed in turkey. not numbers almost certain to rise. upwards of 53000 people have been left injured. russian emergency teams are also working on the ground. there are t spoke to one of them as well as at distraught look
