and whatever you do, don't watch my show stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact. but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the wayne thing. ah, the headlines went off you international as the head of the block in a group says his fighters have taken control of the village of cross my. i'll go to the key point of defense near to him. officer, also known as an identified object of canada, is shot down by the u. s. air force. that's some attention simmering between washington and china over it's a weather balloon crossing the us border over $26000.00. if it's on bed off the catastrophic earthquakes hit both turkey and syria, the death toll continues to rise as both country struggle to cope. also in the

program, a bottom shell report by an american award winning journalist uncovering us involvement in the sabotage of the north stream gas pipelines, ultimately using nato drills in the baltic to cover that a . so it's been a huge week for your worldwide headline teradata international let's i run down some of the top highlights, but also for right now. sure. into some of our latest news. it's an auto international by the way, the head of the van a group has said that as fighters have taken control of the village of kraft, my god, it's a key settlement north of the embattled to our offices, also known as back moved by the development of pressure on ukrainian forces in the town and ultimately it opens up the way to further advance is in the don't yet reach and we can learn more and go live right now to don bass. alta is eager to dine off, eager to bring us up to speed. what do we need to know right now?

will absolutely the chieftain of the russian private military company known as the wagner group, now quite well known all over the world you to the conflict in ukraine. if jenny, pre goshen has announced that the cross negarra a small village to the north of the town of chalmers has fallen, has changed hands and his fighters were indeed and are indeed right now in control of it. and so far, we don't really have much to confirm that other than the video published by the press service of your guinea precaution of the wagner group where well, a bunch of wagner's soldiers are standing next to a sign that is normally are placed at the entrance so over a for so basically of a, of a village of a settlement while it really just depends as to which side you're looking for at it from. whether it's the entrance or the exit over the town. but normally as such

statements and such information coming from, you've gainey pre gosh, in the head of the wagner group, they can be treated as a very reliable, as he himself had previously corrected. numerous officials who were kind of preemptive and too early to announce the successes over his company. although it has to be said that neither the russian nor the ukrainian military officials have neither confirmed nor denied this information. but in general, this development, it takes the fighting a even closer to the town of our charm of skid, is making things much, much more difficult to the ukrainian garrison, stationed inside this main. ah, really this main hot spots in the den that's republic. as of now, basically the situation stanza, as well as follows. basically the wagner forces, they are fighting inside the city since last summer, and they have managed to make gains inside the town, but well,

the ukrainian command, they have been sending green fortunes regularly and by many have described this tactics as well. the tactics of cannon fodder, basically they would send more and more people to die and back would basically to stop the advancement of the wagner's forces with more people with more people to just burn and shoot through. so right now, many military experts, they say that the tactics that the wagner group has adopted a when it comes to taking the town of our jobs. cuz basically, to cut off the supply routes, the main roads leading to this town and out of 4 roads that were previously available for the ukrainian command. only one remains more or less safe to send ammunition to send more guns to send more military vehicles to send more people, more fighters into the city of our term of. and right now the since the casner garage village has full and it brings are close at the moment when this one final

road becomes too dangerous. and when the ukrainian command will have a much more difficult time and worried because will become very, very threatening, very dangerous. for them to send more people into the town and essentially the rod serious fears that well, the garrison, the ukranian garrison that it might just well are be encircled and will have no other option but to surrender or well to be killed if they refuse. like it was in the neighboring town of solid r, which was also taken by the wagner company. no, i doubted english down off. thank you. an unidentified flying object which was shot down of a northern canada was an mand that's according to the latest statement. from the canadian prime minister i ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated can add in aerospace neuron command shut down the object over the yukon

can add in and us aircraft where scrambled and the u. s. f 20 to successfully fart at the object where the move comes off of the us military shot down a similar object over alaska on friday. then the latest body was tracked by the us north american aerospace command while flying over the canadian yukon. later on saturday, prime minister justin trudeau along with president biden authorized a u. s. fighter jet to engage it. now officials have not yet revealed any details on the origin of the aerial device. now, this all comes and made washington's accusations of espionage after an alleged chinese with a balloon crossed into us territory last week and was taken down by the country's military. a u. s. fighting jet shot down the balloon, despite chinese assurances, it didn't pose any threat. and a similar object has been detected over the latin american continent. us officials are portly, confirm the object was part of a surveillance program after examining its remnants beijing as label the

accusations as information warfare. what we heard from a former pentagon official micro maloof who said the officials need to provide answers on the spike in incidence over us guys in recent weeks. it's an increasing problem that we're beginning to, to see more and more of all of a sudden having numerous objects flying in particularly over the, the north pole area. and it's happening very, very rapidly. and they're in and in greater succession. and we'll just see where it's going, but that's, that's one of the major questions right now is, what, what is this all about? this appears to be all very purposeful. we don't know for sure if it's from a country or, or a group, a university commercial,

no idea. i trust that both in states and canada will be forthcoming with the results of what they learn. i think the, the by the administration learned a very bitter lesson last week. so really the biggest story of the week, turkey and syria continuing to struggle with the aftermath of devastating earthquakes that hit both countries on monday. the death toll now exceeding as we understand $26000.00. 0, it's now been 6 days since the deadly earthquake butter. rescuers are still hoping to find any sign of life and some times miracles do happen. the following french emotions he woke us celebrating after finding a man alive,

despite being trapped under the rebels for days. most people wait for any news on their loved ones. artes peter scott, reports from the ground on how the country is struggling to cope. what you can see behind me is a residential building that was once 8 stories high and has now been reduced to rubble. as you can see here, there are people that once lived in that building and then 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 guests, and 6 of my relatives way in the building when the earthquakes drive. my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. is city may have got off relatively lightly, but i said little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who are trapped or those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere. while government engineers go through the daunting process of ins, showing the thousands of homes here are safe to live in. once again,

from the outskirts of the city of id, i'm on, it was instantly clear that it's been much more badly affect said the dia, back here, which was around 3 hours drive away. now when we were coming in, there was a stream of ambulances, emergency service vehicles coming and going, there were shops, carrying heavy excavate, says to help with the efforts here. and there also funds puts with humanitarian aid unbalances heading in to do what they could do. the sites and breed families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets about a young man, the temperatures, so talk well below 0 at night. and that provide their own sets of challenges to those who don't have a home. many of the people we spoke to here said that help was slow to arrive in the days after the earthquakes hit. the keys, presidents and one himself admitted that there had been shortcomings. but the relief effort now appears to be gathering pace. as soon as the earthquake struck, thousands of volunteers flocked to the airport in the stumble, to join the search and rescue efforts in the disaster area. although the him,

he stumbled, i'm a lawyer originally from a donna, but now i live in his temples. i came here to rescue people from the class buildings. almost any of us could have found ourselves inside one of these buildings as a long road ahead for the city and others like it. and it's hard to imagine when it's residence will be able to return efforts are now been directed to prevent a 2nd humanitarian disaster. in showing that those who survived the earthquakes don't die from cold and hunger. this is one of the latest temporary comes to be set up india back here, containing some of the 623 tents dotted around the city. there are no showers, and only the public toilet facilities in the park itself. close quarters in camps a breeding grounds for disease. the people of turkey and syria can only hope that lessons from this tragedy will be learned. in neighboring syria, already suffering from over a decade of war against a western backed insurgency. cities have also been devastated there as well. other nations are health ministry. he's reported more than 1400 deaths and more than 2000 injuries. mostly in the countries north western regions close to the turkish border

. the city of aleppo again close. the turkish border was one of the worst affected areas. residents were forced to flee, their homes have been gathering at shelters, and those are seeking refuge shed some of their stories. on our models, him a hovels deadly at 4 am. we were sleeping in the house when we felt a slight shake, which soon turned into an earthquake. me. i woke up my children and went out to the street of the situation then became unbearable. she felt the women and children started to cry and scream, all the i'll even the ballasting in refugee camp to inhabited houses opposite us collapsed as me had by the handle. i have been living in all been village for 30. yes. my was sleeping when they asked i had the regency, they quickly got trust and laughed were man tall, our neighbors to where we stayed for 2 days. after that we came to our boston stadium and i had vis you been hovels lately. i've been displaced before and i am displeased again because of the natural disaster. thank god, i am safe and may god have mercy on the season now. we came to seek refuge in the

national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance. oh, g o ever years along a western sanctions, particularly those by america have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria since the disaster motor they were imposed after the contours grip to buy a war, essentially imposed by a western back insurgency. as you can see by the map right here, major airline carriers with humanitarian aid had been deliberately avoiding syrian territory. now as a serious struggles to receive humanitarian aid, washington his sorts of blame the delays on the assad government and russia. reality has been up until now at least that one country primarily has stood in the way of that. the russians have consistently threatened to use their veto when it comes to expanding border crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case. and we certainly

hope that russia and all those who would stand in the way are hearing and see these just heartbreaking images. that says by the fact that moscow has been providing aid to both turkey and syria. in the aftermath of this russian service ma, helping clear rebel, while russian fighting aircraft they've been extinguishing flames that are rapid in 30 russian rescue chains are also quick to distribute medical supplies and other humanitarian aid. i was a country president banking moscow or it's held let's say the friendly country and we weren't surprised to see all the kind of support during this crisis course has been fighting terrorism in syria for the last 8 years now. and so when you support countries support the support support can tailor people to support them in every aspect of the problem or anything they do. i think we think what you've done here is

a great work because the 1st time you get to have touch it is that during the last 250 a company like that. so we didn't have any citizen that the got your, your team were very great and helping our team and saving many, many lives. and i took until friday, the 5th day after the earthquake shook the country for walking to announce plans to washington that it would ease sanctions on syria. but this is only after enormous mounting pressure for me while many countries all around the world, including organizations like the syria and our red crescent. we heard from a local reporter mohammed on be described how western sanctions have been affecting the lives of every day syrian western confess continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now. but even during the years of for prevent the syrians from getting there are basic mean, for example, if, if the syrian government wants us to get some medicine and medical supplies for the country, the central bank of syria will not be able to make any transaction as

a result of the sanction. this is just one example of what those thanks and have been doing an effect. how would they have been affecting the life of the syrian people, the u. s. and western countries in general do not care about history and people about the lives of the syrian. how can you, how can n syrian civilian or individual here believe that the u. s. care is about 3 and people while the u. s. itself and the us listen killed, hundreds of syrians doing the crisis in airstrikes on syria. the story house of the u. s. looting resources. the u. s. dividing the country by occupying parts in the north and the north east and getting that oil, some of that oil, to the so called through the product forces. former us president donald from said you said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the through government to get that all those statements and those act, but they not, it is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation and fight,

sir. yes. all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interest to be achieved. they want the conferences to, to stay divided the end of the day. they don't care, they do what they want to do. and even if it's at the expense of syrians live. so the media landscape are just shaken by a bombshell this week revelations, that nato, accompanied by us deep sea divers, allegedly destroyed the russia and nor stream to pipelines in september last year. according to the investigation wash and washington has actually been planning the blow since the late 2021. why does this isn't to sabotage the 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. well, a veteran journalist seymour hersh reported that i top us officials were divide and how to best carry out what is being called by putin a terror act. with the u. s. air force proposing dropping bombs with delayed fuses

that could be remotely set off. naval forces favored a more direct approach by destroying the pipelines with submarines, but that also was turned down. it finally was the secret services idea, which was adopted for a covert operation covering old tracks. but us officials themselves have previously made no, i guess i should say secret of their intentions. if russia invades, then there will be, there will be no longer a north stream to we will bring it into. i am. i think the administration is very gratified to know that north stream too is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea. these pipes that is more streamlined from 2 we're not pumping gas into europe that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. site has used unnamed sources to reveal atrocities that they

have to deny this and they have to try and smear massage. 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. the effect of the gnawed stream pipeline attack on the prices of energy in european countries is incalculable. or perhaps finally, people will start to realize how many people were in effect killed because of and of course irish names them, victoria newland, tony blinking jake sullivan. the players as he calls it on. as a substract, the norwegian prime minister join a store who served on the instruction book now had of nature. the panamanian president florentine of coaches. oh, who hosted the training deep sea diving training for this terror atrocity? we don't know how many hundreds of thousands of people, joe biden had,

jake sullivan, antony blinking, and victoria newland have an effect murdered. so that is our top secret operation began in june during nato's annual navy drills. and the bolt tick are very, very close to where the pipelines are located. the time was designed to mask american and norwegian divers from russian surveillance with a team of supporters successfully planting camouflaged. c 4 explosives now is washington felt it would be too obvious if the pipelines were destroyed right after the nato drills. the decision was taken to delay the explosion for 3 months in order to hide any tracks as were understand the u. s. also metals in investigators into the blast. well, a so called the independent investigative commission also turned out to be interested in covering up the tracks of the closest allies, norway in america. this is according to see more house report u. s. informed its allies about possible unusual activity in the baltic in june,

sweden, germany in denmark, formed a group to look for clues, would fail to fight anything significant while also blocking russia from investigating the aftermath of the attack. well, that is just by european countries suffering. the consequences of having russian gas essentially cut off the u. s. mutually deny the american journalists revelations, leveling them as complete nonsense. have you or anybody else at the state department of any communication with german norwegian ambassador, or other lines or officials on this matter? on the matter of nordstrom to on the matter of the latest obligations, it would, it would not be typical for us to engage allies in partners on something that is utter incomplete nonsense. and it should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through us through an objective lens. open out through a legal and media analyst line. he's questioning why the western media at the end of the day remained suspiciously silent on this investigation. the bomb shell

report doesn't surprise anyone, because immediately after this happened, a lot of people said, wait a minute. this looks fishy. but let's, let's look at it this way. irrespective of, of the, your perspective, for anybody's perspective, there are 2 different camps here. one, there's the official government reaction, which i think we can understand. i think it'll be a lot better to say, we'll look into this. thank you very much. as opposed to this is ridiculous, but i understand that. but the 2nd reaction, which is the most fascinating, are the collective reactions of the media are saying, this is the media now. how dare he uses a name, a reporter, or on a name sources. let me ask you a question. who in their right mind, whatever say yes, my name is so and so i work here today and also isn't it fascinating that depending upon who you are, an unnamed source is either

a whistle blower. if you were to be commended or an unnamed source, a coward hiding hiding somewhere in the darkness. what i hope i hope happens is that this continues that independent journalist citizens civilian alternative, foreign journalists, hold everybody accountable and pursue this. don't abandon sy hersh don't turn around as a while. maybe. maybe he's maybe he's over the hill after all he's using. he's using, you know, unnamed sources. deep throat during watergate, the hero, deep throat was an anoint named source. there whistleblowers daniel ellsberg was it . so it's, i mean it's incredible if you like the result, then you love the journalistic practice. if you don't like it, then the people who say this are crackpot lunatics and psychotic conspiracy

theorists, the worst offender and us censorship and media made relation. that's how twitter ceo e lot muska slammed the global engagement center. this is a, the state department agency aimed at countering what washington called foreign propaganda and this information. let's learn more with marina cars. the global engagement center sounds so friendly and welcoming. right. well, it definitely is if your views match, there's the global gauge with center is not really doing sort of direct counter propaganda. we're clear going out and you know, making sure that independent journalists and truth tellers and folks who are routing out propaganda have the support to do so. supporting truth tellers and fighting dis information. sounds great. so why is elan mosque slime in them? calling the center and threat to democracy, a media manipulator and the government cent. so where do we begin?

well, let's start with the founder, a former editor of time magazine, who seems to understand that each country has its own propaganda. my old job at the state department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist job. we haven't talked about propaganda propaganda. i'm not against propaganda. every country does it. and they have to do it to their own population. and i don't necessarily think it's that awful. he also believes that the 1st amendment needs rethinking as it protects the bad guys as in those who support russia, china and iran. maybe that's why he's a fan of hamilton. 68, a dashboard tracking, so called russian bonds, the majority of whom have turned out to be americans with different views, according to the latest twitter files. so that's the founder or the current chief is a former clinton advisor and former husband of cnn, anchor christian and poor need. we say more. so what does this global engagement

center actually do? fabricate stories, apparently. once again, thanks to these twitter leaks. we now know that the g c was busy trying to convince twitter to blame russia for cove at this information, even when there was no evidence for global engagement center did ask about our findings were on the latest list of accounts. and i relayed that we did see some in authentic behaviors, but that we were unable to attribute the accounts to the internet research agency. they noted that we haven't made any attribution to russia in some time and asked if there was any information they could provide to help us make those links. they seem to love to hate russia over there. and i see in particular, trying to describe the channel over what they see as lies miss and propaganda. the kremlin pushed the narrative that new naziism was rampant in ukraine prior to during and after the annexation of crimea. archie began to run stories about

a legit naziism in ukraine. these stories promulgated the forces that ukrainian supported naziism and fascism. so hold on a 2nd because we seem to have a slight memory issue. so when western mainstream media, we're talking about the far right ideology in ukraine before the conflict and he's making reports about it. that was okay. but when rossa does that, it's lying. well, maybe the telegraph should join the hatless, then for showing the es ss stall pads on the ukrainian soldier or cnn for sho, in z, kyle, in liberated here san or german channel, and see the fort swastika on the ukrainians. hank, and there are hundreds of examples just like these, including a personal favorites. i guess some organizations are allowed to slip up like that as they haven't been identified as russian bots yet. but ways there is more legal as also funded. several does information projects including 2 in ukraine,

but russia is not the only enemy. they also have china and the wrong. so worry about apparently the iran dis, information project proved to be a total disaster when it was revealed that instead of counter and iranian propaganda, it trolled to you as journalists, human rights activists and academics who they decide to. one, wholesale enough sits are on the even that's have human rights watch for looking into the had the price of un sanctions on iran. the project was exposed, people were sought and the 1000000 and a half dollars taken from their taxes went down the drain. basically, state department has been funding a semi covert. sy ought to smear in harass u. s. citizens who oppose. pompeo. bolton, f, dd, maximum pressure, anti iran crusade. see the state department uses taxpayer money to fund online attacks on human rights watch because the organization is researching the human cost of us sanctions in iran. is this even legal?

follow them money indeed and attract your sources? because if it's coming from america or as late to america, we may have a problem. and it's thanks to elan mosque that all these allies and links are now being exposed, considering how much money and power seems to be behind a little known group. so what is new c e o may have only 2 options to run or create a new disinformation project for the us itself, though some would argue it has already begun. so with it running, donna since are to the top stories of the week aeronautics international. so what were they? some of the big ones, of course, the devastating and historic earthquakes in turkey and northern syria. and of course, the bomb shell revelations from american pulitzer prize winning award journalist seymour hersh, the american un nato, sabotage of the north stream to pines. thanks for joining us with

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on of very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with with dick make out of it, dave into that into gagne that associates our companies actually listen to all these through john over.
