preserving our history so that it is a loss to future generations, but our physical museums, places themselves a relic of the past. this is one of the best museums in the world. are human touch in saint petersburg. how rough he is, the director here, and i bet he has met with the fact that our western colleagues are so persistently chasing around the world demanding. the condemnation of russia speaks volumes if they use the same energy to make ukraine abide by the minsk agreements. we wouldn't need a special operation. russia is a foreign minister, so gala for off mocking the west over its diplomatic games in africa, as he visits sudan on the last thought of his regional tour with video appearing on line here. portal showing a ukrainian soldier executing a captured russian p, o w. and yet another instance of alleged war crimes committed by thea forces. also ahead right now we are just outside the small town that it is

outside of the city of connecticut. it is a major ukrainians rolled out, the observed russian special forces operating close to a king, ukrainian stronghold in the don't get to republic. as the russian army ramps up it's offensive with russia says it's no surprise about us involvement in the north street, sabotaged as washington had previously been very open about his intentions to take out that pipeline. ah, it's the full tally for you today. some big hitting stories in your program here were naughty international. it's so good to have you with us. sort of a lever off has slammed the west over its insistence, but africa condemns russia. the foreign minister said they could have used that very same energy to prevent the conflict in ukraine. he made his comments on his last stop in sudan as a diplomat, wraps up

a tour of that continent. ah, the fact that our western colleagues are so persistently chasing around the world demanding the condemnation of russia speaks volumes. firstly, if they try this hard, it means they feel they are wrong. if they use the same energy to make ukraine abide by the minsk agreements, we wouldn't need a special operation. and we know that ukraine was not going to accept the minsk agreement. but on the contrary, we're preparing for a hybrid war. everything to eliminate a political competitor. while the admin's agreements were supposed to be the cornerstone of the peace process between the don bath republics and keith, they were broken by russia, germany and france 8 years ago. and it was all seemingly done in good faith. however, in recent months, western leaders reveal that the real purpose of the minsk accords was to give you crane more time to rearm its military. something that was admitted by ukraine's previous president had to put a shanker. so here is our,

the russian foreign minister. so guy leverage one more time our friends in africa, asia, and latin america understand very well that all these actions are geopolitical games from us and their allies, to keep a hedge a morning in the world. the fact that they go around the world trying to convince, developing countries to condemn russia, means that they do not believe in democracy. cartoon, the last days of russia, foreign minister, sergey loves, to all of africa, his visit to so does capital city, coincides with the trips by envoys from 5 western countries. the u. s. britain, france, no way and germany decided listed on as at the center of all this attention. both russian sudan consistently come out and the you in support of initiatives aimed at ensuring a democratic world order based on the principles of multi polarity which are enshrined in the un charter in addition to political dialogue. in addition to foreign economic coordination, there are many tasks in the field of trade,

economic investment, and humanitarian cooperation came out and support the efforts be made by the sudanese leadership to stabilize the internal political situation. their de la ross came to cartoon to discuss ballots relations, as well as regional issues on the african continent, and the middle east particular attention was paid to the preparation of a 2nd, russia africa summit to take place in july saint petersburg started out to the conflict in ukraine, when shocking footage has emerged on line, reportedly recorded by ukrainian soldiers shoving them executing a captured russian prisoner of war. a warning this is disturbing. utilize the verb with you. regarding the g. he started in this unverified video, ukrainian soldier allegedly shoot the russian service men in the head multiple times. we blood out some of the images here, but the victim is wearing

a white patch typically worn by russian troops. of this comes off the numerous other accusations of ukrainian soldiers killing russian p o w. in fact, the united nations has even documented several of these cases calling for investigation. meanwhile, the local officials as a barrel of ukrainian artillery showing us hit the dance republic on wednesday, killing at least 2 civilians, wounding 4 others, including children with already se ukrainian forces 5 more than a 100 shells in civilian areas in the region. number of apartment buildings and shopping center but damaged while a massive blazer rocketed right in the center of the capitol. well, russia, ministry of defense is reported that around $75.00 ukrainian soldiers were killed near the city of oakland are within the last 24 hours. several ukrainian army vehicles were also destroyed as russian forces have been conducting an offensive in that area. all these eager don off remains on the front lines this time with

russian special forces. right now we are just outside the small town of the that is done is outside of the city of the next. it is a major ukrainian stronghold. and right now we're following in the footsteps of a russian special forces unit. and basically what they're doing, they're going to be launching a heavy anti tank myself, but they won't be targeting any machinery nor tanks. rather, they will be working on hitting command centers in side o'clock again, the major ukrainian stronghold which almost fell just a couple of weeks ago. he has come on, they managed to kill reinforcement, and right now the army as a hard time has a hard time getting hold of it. but i'm being told,

it's just a matter of time until this small but difficult stronghold force ah, [000:00:00;00] with ah, this spot to watch is the project i'll being carefully guided towards its target. and when it connects, he doesn't hold back emotions with just local them. rushing, ukrainian armies operate at

a collision course here. keep forces positions have been reduced to small batch of apartment block buildings on a hill top. it's a dominating a height, yet the ukrainians are trying to expand their zone of control. the russians on the other hand, spare no effort, throwing plenty of their resources into the battle. this infantry tanks, every kind of artillery piece. as convert helicopters, brain fire from above. fueling as it gets little blue when the enemy is detected and destroyed every day by the forces of our intelligence. and artillery is the same everywhere. attempts by the ukrainian army to counter attack were repulsed up to a company of soldiers and heavy equipment were destroyed. so special anti tank units don't suffer from a shortage of targets. and as nato's leopards challenges and abrams tanks bound for ukraine get a fresh coat of paint. they wait,

wait patiently for the hitler's to get even longer. i'm again done of reposing from the dumbass. ot see so rushers foreign ministry starts is just not surprised by the new revelations about the attack over more stream pipelines as leaders in the u. s. had openly threatened but key gas supply route to your we have repeatedly voiced russia's position on the evolvement of the u. s. a nato. nothing that they did not hide this boasting to the whole world, to doubt 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, are those revelations are made by award winning investigative journalist seymour

hersh shoe said the attack on russia nord stream system was carried out by the u. s . with norwegian involvement though. after months of diligent planning by this decision to sabotage that 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 in a knee jerk reaction, the u. s. was very quick to deny involvement in the covert attack on the north stream pipelines. we heard back from norway who told r t that the allegations are nonsense. but an essay was all our edward snowden. he's not entirely convinced. he said it's not the 1st time washington denies allegations referencing his own experience. when evidence of the u. s. government's spying on his own citizens was simply rejected by top intelligence officials. when

testifying before congress the united states was not involved in the nord stream explosion. can you think of any examples from history of a secret operation that the white house was responsible for, but strongly denied? besides, you know that little mess, surveillance, careful. we spoke with a pulitzer prize winning journalist, a former correspondent for the new york times, who says us denials of the pipeline attack has 0 credibility. that is something that we've seen in the past. not only with similar earth is reporting, but other investigative look at looks at our investigations into activities that the government wants to keep secret. i think that's the standard response didn't surprise any of us and i think they had to respond quickly because they couldn't let it just why out there was some kind of a without a denial,

but not denial again. doesn't mean much. we look at how these things play out. eventually more information comes out that supports this initial reporting until it becomes very hard for them to deny. that's usually what happens and sort of bring this all together to give you a much broader picture. his ortiz more in a culture of explaining the chain of events. it's 2021 that you are a needs are already irritated by the north stream, one gas pipeline, because they see it as a threat to western dominance. and now north, soon to was nearing completion, which would double the amount of cheap russian gas flow into germany. something had to be done. and this is how it went down according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning. so joe biden authorizes his national security adviser to create a group, so come up with a plan to get rid of the pipelines. by the end of the year, jake sullivan convenes

a meeting of a new task force, men and women from the joint chiefs of staff, the cia and the state and treasury departments. they hold several top secret meetings in the building right next to the white house and during their brainstorming sessions. the navy, for example, proposes using a newly commission submarine, sir sold the pipeline directly. the air force discusses dropping bombs that could be set off remotely. and the cia just argued that whatever was done had to be done covertly. the cia director at the time william burns authorizes an agency working group. so craft a plan for a covert operation that would use deep sea divers to trigger an explosion along the pipeline. early 2001 see to the c a working group reports back to sullivan's inter agency group. we have a way to blow up their pipelines. meanwhile,

a few slip ups with regard to nordstrom to we continue to have a very strong and clear conversations with our german allies. and i want to be clear with you today. if russia engage ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if russia and reach that means tanks of troops crossing the a border of you, chris again, then no, there will be we there will be no longer nor stream to. we will bring it into the cobra. surprise of biden's and newlands in discussions and are wondering what it means for their mission. the c i a's william burns apparently said to it, but how and when? well that's when nor way answers the picture. in march, a few members of the american seam fly there. so meets with a norwegian, secret service and navy. the norwegian navy finds the right spot for the explosives

and awaits a camouflaged them so the russian navy doesn't spot them. norway apparently also suggests the ideal cover to plant the mines during the annual nato exercises in the baltic sea, which take place in june, june swine seats when c to the nato exercises began and the mines are planted. the white house starts having doubts about its genius plant and asks if the mines can be detonated at a later date. so it doesn't look obvious that they did it. the americans in norway now have a new problem. there. have to find a way to do it. the explosives could be triggered by a sono bully shoved by a plane at short notice. it would have met a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds that would be recognized by the timing device and trigger the explosives on september 26th, 2022, and a which a navy p a surveillance plane makes a seemingly

a routine flight. and drops us so on her bowie. a few hours later, the high powered sea for explosives are triggered, and the rest is history. i've seen return say the host of going on the ground says the western media is now trying to undermine the credibility of former new york times journalist seymour hersh because it can't permit voices of descent, but question. mainstream narratives is complete to answer hypocrisy. sy hersh is used unnamed sources to reveal atrocities in abu ghraib most famously the my lai massacre. they have to deny this and they have to try and smear aside hush. because what he is saying in effect is that the biden administration is responsible for perhaps one of the worst environmental and geopolitical terror atrocities in history. and he makes clear in his introduction to the sub stack,

he feels it is the outlet that gives him the most freedom because implicitly there is no freedom in nato countries. they have to try and smear at him desperately in a way, because as me, if sy hersh is right, and i think most people around the world, the international community, when it comes to ordinary people, believe him. that means that at the highest levels of u. s. government, there are people leaking information because they to a disturb by jo biden's terror atrocity. where is he getting the information from disgruntled people at the highest levels inside? he says, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning. of course, like any good journalists, he will not really reveal his sources, laughably. the washington bird says democracy dies in darkness. and one other aspect of this, as i hush revelation is that there is no informed consent in nature nations. this story is not on the front page of every newspaper in the european union or in the united states,

the belligerents with russia through ukraine. that's why he has to put it on sub stack. and if there is no freedom of the press, i mean they are clearly frightened of it. why on earth is program we're on right now being banned in europe and in britain that really terrified of the truth, getting out there in any questions being us. then if there is no informed consent, there is no democracy. so no longer can britain, the european union in the united states call themselves democracy because they keep banning me the media and suppressing it. and in a sense, sy hersh having to publish on sub stack and many other journalists. of course, he's one of the greatest shows and proves there is no ability for journalists to get their message out to the ordinary working people of nato nations. and therefore, there is no democracy in those nations some more than 15000 people have lost their lives and

a devastating earthquake that ripped through turkey and syria in recent days. the city of and takia in 30 years. southern province is one of the most affected areas . a local journalist is mile kaya has more and how the residents there are trying to cope. it's john, the other amenities and we're now in the city center of antibiotics in turkey is southern most province of hot tie. you can see behind me some of the devastation caused by the earthquakes able to go to work is going very slowly due to lack of necessary equipment. of the ordinary local residents are also helping out. those may appear. fewer squeaks have destroyed this area. 3356 people have died in this province. car, 2749 buildings have collapsed. a large number of working brigades were sent to many regents. a lot of the equipment was sent from the government as well as and g o z and rescue organizations. but of course, in some places,

the equipment and assistance are not enough. turkish president, recept tie a paragon has visited, had tie and conduct to the survey of the area. he said the work would be carried out throughout the disaster zone. now services are distributing clothes to local residents. they're handing out turkish military clothing and providing injured people with necessities, local residents, or waiting outside their collapsed homes. many houses have been completely destroyed. in some places, the wreckage cannot be easily excavated, as special equipment is needed and people remain trapped under the rubble of a scenes of devastation around the epicenter. simply shocking form a high rise upon blocks reduced to rubble. signs of those still trapped, getting more difficult to detect. nevertheless, the search for survive was, goes on, assisted by international rescue teams, including from russia. for example, moscow has provided by fighting aircraft to help extinguish the flames that erupt.

it off the buildings collapsed in the quakes. this footage from an on board actually a russian b e. 250 s aircraft near a turkish ford 50 on the mediterranean coast. then ethel is also has really a dana if sophia is transport infrastructure in the southern region. so than figures aircraft able to log on water. the good of tackling the issues that here's our correspondent peter scott. now, reporting from another affected city to see behind me is a residential building that was once 8 stories high and is now been reduced to rubble. as you can see here, there are people that once lived in our building and the now waiting for news of their relatives who in many cases are still stuck under the rubble. i want to wait here because my son, his wife, and guess and 6 of my relatives were in the building when the earthquake struck. my grandson, heron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. i haven't received any word from

the family. anesha isn't alone. as of wednesday evening, the death toll india buckets stood at 144 people with almost 1000 wounded. as the sun begins to fade 3 days after the earthquakes, such as hope, the survivors will be rescued from the rubble. that doesn't stop relatives anxiously gathering around destroyed homes desperate for any news of their loved ones. i considered have completely lost hope, but it's been free days now and his game difficult to remain optimistic that my oldest sister and her 2 children will be found a life. i would like to send all my blessings to those people who lost their lives in this disaster. i would also like to wish that those who were injured will get well soon. understandably, with progress slow going frustration mounts with each passing hour. many of the people i spoke to india back here were angry that more support from the government or the international community hadn't yet reached the city. 3 days after the quakes,

pine and we want more support for the rescue teams. we can't go back home because it's not safe, and there is no peace for us there. some waiting here for news about my 6 cousins. in other parts of d a back here. he could almost be forgiven for thinking that life goes on. his normal city may have got off relatively lightly, thus of little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who had traps or those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere. while government engineers go through the daunting process of ensuring the thousands of homes here are safe to live in once again. peter scott, the backyard turkey, r t. teams from all around the world have arrived in 38 to assist with search and rescue operations. we heard from debir, demarie, a volunteer with rescues without borders, who called the international community to do more to search for survivors. in the 2nd, they heard the news say,

disaster happened. i just left everything behind. and they came on the way the years for the rescue with our border to come and go into and help us this week to the turkish peoples. a tougher and 7 point day. ready air squeak is not something that you can prepare a 100 percent. the question of correlation between a lot of people, different language, different cultural very, very complicated. but. ready in the end of the day when you come to save the life, people to see, to work together and talk into collect and everything. everybody you very, very helpful and try to work together and helpful want each other. the primary earthquake in the region was recorded in magnitude 7.8, basically the most powerful there in almost 100 years. while turkey and syria have been the most affected, the tremors are felt as far away as egypt and the central asian nation of context

on just to the south and syria, the earthquake left more than a 1000 dead and $300.00 buildings collapse of the northern city of l. f. o. near the turkish border is one of the areas most effective residents were just forced to flee their homes and gather a shelters. meanwhile, western sanctions, particularly from america, have been locking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. look at this mac right here, you can see, for example, major area carriers continue to avoid syrian territory. while getting on this, china has demanded that america remove its sanctions again, syria. beijing said the us embargo is disrupting a supplies and is only making the humanitarian crisis even worse. the u. s. has long been gauged into syrian crisis, is frequent military strikes and harsh economic sanctions have caused huge civilian casualties and taken away serious means for subsistence. in the wake of the catastrophe, the u, as should put aside your political obsessions and immediately live the unilateral

sanctions from syria to unlock the doors for humanitarian aids to see rare, found to take the further here on the program. now crossing, lived with a founder of seriana analysis, provoke al massey and thank you very much sir, for joining us. you're not international. a great pleasure to see you and have you on the program. oh yeah, i'm sure you be listen to the story just now the or the syrian a representative to the u. n. a has accused the u. s. of politicizing aid in syria in the wake of these are these earthquakes. does that sound accurate to you? thank you very much for having me both sides on accusing each other of politicizing, humanity driven aid. but as a journalist, if we see facts underground, we will realize that it's the united states that is politicizing dis, humanitarian assistance to syria because it insists on until this moment to not deliver aids. to 90 percent of the syrian people were affected by his deadly or by just deadly earthquake. the insist to st. this 8,

exclusively 2 areas controlled by drop it on the straw and utter islamist to rec groups in serbia. up until this moment, they refused to deal with the syrian government in order to send the much need of help, when thousands and thousands and thousands of servants are affected by this deadly earthquake. we have to know that up until to day, they are alive. people under durable and they are being rescued right now. thanks to the friends of serbia who sent their risk, your team's were sent their assistance will sent their equipment. we have to know after 12 years of poor, syria is not capable of doing this alone. after 12 years of war and sanctions, deadly sanctions on syria, the syrian government, the syrian people are beat, they need the international so called community to put their political differences aside and come for a help for the syrian people. now there is a declassified say, a document in front of me dates back to 1993. the the, it when to see i a said that our sanctions have yet to impose sufficient hardship

on local consumers needed to spark grants well. of on tv. hm. sentiments in serbia, this is the strategy from yugoslavia, serbia, up until today, the sanctions are meant to crumble the monetary and, and the livelihood situation in serving. to extend that the people would rise and revolt against the government and the movie. this is what the sanctions are doing. i tell you, i just feel sort without your textbook or the textbook. again, pat from langley virginia. you told me you talk about regime change out, you know, foment unrest through angio isn't otherwise. and then try and get your regime change. i, i get what you're saying of all i wanted to ask you a few moments ago we showed what essentially is like a radar tracking website that actually shows aircraft in the region of syria, really avoiding syrian territory. apparently they're afraid of landing in syria to live a humanitarian aid. why would they be so reluctant to land thereafter off that? so on one hand, 3 nights, it says that the humanitarian assistant isn't sanctioned. but on the other hand, they a boot. they are like a bulldog coming after every company,

whether it's private or governmental, or whether it's in the airplane, whether it's a company, whether it's just for medical supply, forsythia, and if they receive any funds from syria for the service they breed, they be a present or for the goods they sent to syria, or just simply going through syria and breaking the siege, the united states is coming after dis companies and telling them we're going to put your unsanctioned on the list of the sanctions. therefore, all these talk about that the american sanction do not affect the humanitarian situation in cba is completely and author lie because the nicest comes after fuel companies comes after medical companies. and i have talked with alina tuan, she is the special operator for the effects, or the impacts of the unilateral course of measures on syria. and she told me, she's the expert of u. n. and she told me all these talk about that the nicest and the essential do not affect the humanitarian situation. cera is a lie because if you go to a hospital and you see that the hospitals are in much need for certain medicine and

equipment and they are unable to import these basic necessary goods. because the companies refuse to sell this equipment to see that because they are afraid of our medical sanctions. then we know this is the so called rule based international order that the united states is preaching on the, on, on the rest of the word. when at the same time, the practicing ed da most vile policy against a country like syria, which is dis illegal corps if measures which i call it a. it's a weapon of mass destruction, especially at this moment have to put their political differences aside and they have to at the siemens. but what the nazis is doing now, they are influencers so called influence was all around toward their affiliated with the cia. they are busy writing articles, they're busy on switcher, tranquil discredit, this narrative that the sanctions are harming the 7 people. and they're saying, no, it's a sorry to his whip. and i think this is sanctions. how can i sub weaponized the sanctions if, if this humanitarian 8, if they have not even giving you manager of an aide to syria on the 1st day?
