the of the belgians lead to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust. the genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the greenest pages in the history of mankind. in the headlines on off the international, the head of rushers, wagner group says his fighters have taken the don't script public village of trust me. i gotta, it's a p foot hold near the trouble, also known as buck moved, which the ukrainians have been fiercely defending from. with over 30000 anal confirmed dead object, catastrophic weights hitting both 30 a and syria. and as the death toll continues to rise, both countries continue to struggle with and a bomb shell report on our team to national this week by an award winning american journalist, alleging american involvement in the sabotage of the north stream gas pipelines.

though, using nato military exercises in the baltic sea to hide their tracks with all right, with the top stories of the week and the main headlines off this, our welcome to the weekly it's asi international. so the head of russia is wagner. military group has confirmed that his 5 has have taken control of the village of crap. i gotta in the don't escrow public, ultimately gaining a new foot hold for that month. long of salt on the city of thom office also knows buck moved, which is still being held by key of troops. now this development ultimately increase as pressure on ukrainian forces in a key city, which is a vital transportation to hub, keeps forces and potentially paved the way for further advance is west northwest. now that could lead to russian force is ultimately taking full control of the donor

republic, as well as the garage. donald now reports from don bass. according to the chieftain of the russian private military company, the wagner group. if danny pre goshen, his fighters have basically taken the control taken over, they have captured the village of casner got out to the north of charm of skit is a very small settlement. it can be very hard to pinpoint on the map, but it is very important. well, it tactically and strategically so far, we don't have much of a confirmation other than a video published by the media service, by the press service of the wagner group, where a bunch over a wagner, soldiers are standing next to a road sign that would normally be placed at the entrance into basically on the road heading into the settlement. so this is so far everything that we have. but normally the, this information that comes from your gainey propulsion directly, it can be treated as

a reliable because he himself has repeatedly corrected officials in the past who jumped the gun so to speak. and were too early to announce the successes of the wagner group. although it has to be said that neither the russian nor the ukrainian military officials have neither confirmed nor denied that they sir in that formation. now when it comes to crass neg, i itself again, it is quite important. however small it might be, it is located to the north of the town of thomas, and essentially by capturing it at the wagner forces. well, as they come closer to cutting off the supply routes that are used by the ukranian commands to delivery enforcements into the city of our tom, of which is a major hot spot in the don bass right now. 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 commands they have been sending reinforcements regularly and in

a many have described this tactics as well. the tactics of cannon fodder, basically they send more and more people to die in back mode, basically to stop the advancement of the wagner's forces with the 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's group has adopted a when it comes to taking the town of it's almost because basically to cut off the supply routes, the main roads leading to this town and out of full roads that were previously available for the ukrainian command, only one remains more or less safe to send ammunition to send to more guns, to send more military vehicles to send more people, more fighters into the city of thomas. and right now the since the casner garage village has full and it brings a close at the moment when this one final road becomes too dangerous. it's good to

have your company pull this program live from moscow. the ukrainian press it zelinski as now posted photos on his social media of a ukrainian soldier dawning insignia resembling that used by nazi germany. we'll show you in a screenshot of the post where the ukranian leader is calling on citizens to. well, you night. you can see a soldier sporting the controversial patch on his arm or shoulder now. ironically, this received hundreds of likes in the following hours. the exact same image are known as the death's head was used during the 2nd world war by ss units. the renee hitler's extermination camps. this is not the 1st time that lensky has posted photos with such symbols in another picture which has since been deleted. the latest god was also seen wearing the same nazi era emblem ukrainian president has since gone on the offensive stating that such narratives contradict his country's

history. do ukraine on your news, and ukraine in real life are 2 completely different countries. and the main difference between them is ours is real. you are told we are nazis. but could of people who lost more than a 1000000 lives in the battle against naziism support naziism. let's take this further on all the international now and join a geopolitical analyst. i don't do and joining i say live on the program and joining very well. welcome to you post a report just now here on this channel one time. ok. twice. a coincidence. but on a regular basis, john, we're seeing the ukrainian military dawning insignia strangely resembling, not see patches. what, what's your, what's your take on this? well it's, it's certainly not a coincidence. we see this time and time again. when they, when they don't have a p r person to review every single thing that they're doing, we are seeing this type of symbolism used consistently. even if you

remember a few months ago, i think it was m b c news had some guy giving the standing front of a green flag and giving nazi salute. so, you know, this is very consistent in ukraine and you know, their belief systems. but john lensky has many times released such pictures only later, typically to delete them. i mean, is it possible, john, the landscape doesn't know what the simplest represent? i mean, and if not, why isn't there most scrutiny? why and why doesn't he think twice before. busy posting on the world wide web. you know, it's a good question. i've asked same thing to some of my friends before, because how could you pull something like that with knowing what it is? and i mean, it's hard to believe that doesn't, because, i mean, he's the leader of this country. so charter will not let, let me jump in if i may,

because what we've seen, certainly since the conflict interrupted in ukraine, we've seen certain western news outlets have that. correspondence. i it somewhere in certain parts of central ukraine, but there have been there been live shots with a journalist. of course one is standing there with the microphone tanks rolling behind them with not see insignia nazi emblems actually on the tanks. and you can see them on western news channels going past. why do the western correspondence never make any mention of the nazi emblems on these tanks? well, i think there's 2 reasons. first of all, on the 1st reason is half and probably don't know what the symbolism means because they're just a bunch of talking heads ah, and the other one is it's not in their interest to speak about such things. um, not they're not allowed to buy their, their, of their corporate masters. so what about this, john?

i'll bring you up a one more here because obviously it, this is a pretty sensitive subject here and it's difficult to be really straight about it because you know, you can upset a lot of people. i'll give you an example why john? one of the most famous or shall i say infamous battalions and ukraine is the ass off battalion often colbin neo nazi ass off battalion john in december of last year . the neo nazi as though battalion was invited to israel, a nation that regularly reminds the world about the tragedy of the holocaust and the mass killings of the jews. and yet the neo nazi al patel leon was welcomed to tel aviv to meet with top officials. i, you know, honestly, i don't even know what to say about that. i mean, how would you read his railey leadership, the israeli leadership, welcoming the neo nazi out of battalion to its sacred, hallowed grounds? i don't know. i mean, we've seen so many crazy things during this conflict. i mean i was even in the

last battalion headquarters on the outskirts of mary opal. and just it was a sensory overload. and the think that they are hanging out with the people in israel. i mean, just crazy. this is like the chickens inviting the fox and to have a beer with them. europe was blown to pieces separately. something years ago, world war 2, the battle against not system that was the landscape just now saying that we lost a 1000000 of our local fighters who are battling naziism in world war 2. it just seems bizarre. his europe, european leaders, sending weapons and money to people like members of the hours of battalion and other neo nazi battalions in ukraine and the western media. john, where is the western media to tell us the truth about this?

why is it only r t that we talk about this? well, you know, the western media was talking about this in 2019, and 2021. when congress designated b as off battalion as a, as in extremist, a terrorist organization. and, but now they are nowhere to be seen because it conflicts with the, the story that the american government wants of the people to, you know, john, this before i let you go, i've got one more quick question. it's related, but it's not exactly all on the same line here just before the conflict kicked. busy for the end of february, last year in ukraine, in the immediate days before it kicked off, those who had been shelling that don bass and don yet, regions the shelling increased to 2000 shells a day that were being shot into civilian areas. russia felt like it had no other

choice but to respond. i wanted to ask you if militants, for example, in mexico were shooting 2000 shells a day, into our zona and texas, what do you think the american government would do? well, you know, that's a good question. i'm to be honest. this administration probably wouldn't care too much because they don't like its own citizens and that's why we see the, the overrunning of the southern border in america right now. um, but i think any other administration would take a serious note and take serious action on such a thing. they would take serious action to protect their own citizens, perhaps very limited to what the russian president vladimir putin did as well geopolitical adler. john dorgan always good to see you to see re oh,

thank you for joining us for this program. turkey and syria continue to struggle with a devastating off the mouth of earthquakes which had both countries on monday. the death toll now is exceeding $30000.00. ah ah they have torn my heart were completely broken. no for the new modem. ah

. a visit with me. a miss ross was lou families under there. my sons, my daughter, my son in law, they're still under the rubble. we hear their voices, they're still alive. there's no way to get them out. there's no machinery, there's a, i'm not in a mean i grandson is 18 months,

so please help them please. we can hear them have not got any news from them since the morning. please go on the 12th floor. we can't reach my family, my grandson. ah, it has been now 6 days since the deadly earthquakes and rescuers are continuing their search for survivors and sometimes miracles do happen. this footage showing elated emergency workers after finding a man alive, despite being trapped under the rubble for days, while many others are waiting for any news on their loved ones. artes peter scott, now reports on how the country is struggling to what you can 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 they're 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, wayne, the building when be earthquakes, drive my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. the city may have got off relatively lightly, but i said little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who were trapped 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 from the outskirts of the city of id i'm on, it was instantly clear that it's been much more badly affected the 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 was shrubs carrying heavy excavators to help with the efforts here. and there also vans,

puts with humanitarian aid unvil and says, heading in to do what they could do. the sights of breed families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets of a young man. the temperature still drop well below 0 at nights and that provides 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 key is presidents are to one himself, admitted that it 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 air force ne stumble to join the search and rescue efforts in the disaster area. not only him, he stumbled, i'm a lawyer originally from madonna, but now i live in his temple. i came here to rescue people from the class buildings . almost any of us could have found ourselves inside one of these buildings. there's 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 at 10 pre comes to be setup india back here, containing some of the $623.00 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. of the assyrian city of aleppo near the turkish border was one of the worst affected areas. residents were just forced to flee their homes and gather of shelters. and some of our seeking refuge took a moment to share some of their stories with us here at our on our model as him hovels, literally 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, or d, i leave in the palestinian refugee camp to inhabited houses opposite us collapsed

as me had by the handle. have been living in our been village for 30. yes, my were sleeping when they asked i had the regiment, they quickly got trapped and laughed when toy neighbors to where we stayed for 2 days. after that we him so i'll boston stadium anathema that she even hovel sleeve . i've been displaced before and i am displaced again because of the natural disaster. thank god, i'm safe and may god have mercy on the deceased. knows we came to seek refuge in the national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance. meanwhile, russia was indeed, among the very 1st to offer aid to both nations, russia sent service men immediately to help clear the debris. it also sent fire fighting air craft to battle the flames which erupted into, to viet following the k. a equates moscow's rescue team. has also been quick to distribute medical supplies and at the forms of various humanitarian aid to the affected areas. in fact, a serious president, bashar assad, has personally express gratitude,

but russia's help 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 80 years now. and so when you support countries support the support for country or people who support them in every aspect of the problem or anything the best do i think we think what you've done here is great work because did the 1st time to touch it is that during the last 250 is completed, so we didn't have any citizen that the got your, your team where very great and helping our team and having many, many like. however, the west years long sanctioning of syria, particularly america, have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. you can see this flight truck, our radar map, so to speak. it's

a well pictures that you can see enormous airline carriers as we understand. a number of them heaving with humanitarian supplies are literally avoiding landing in syrian territory. and as the nation struggles to receive, the very help it needs washington, particularly the state departments, ned price have said, syria only has itself to blame. 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 or 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 be just heartbreaking images. took 5 days off these quakes that shook the countries for

washington to announce plans to ease sanctions on syria. though this is only after enormous mounting global pressure from countries like china and various humanitarian organizations as well. but we heard from our local reporter mohammed lee who described how western restrictions a directly hurting everyday people. western countries continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now, but even during the years of for prevented syrians from getting there are basically, for example, if it's 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 such sentence. this is just one example of what those thanks and have been doing an effect. how would they have been affecting the lives of the syrian people? us and western countries in general, do not care about history and people's about the lives of historians. 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 millions during the christ is an error on syria. the story houses the u . s. looting. serious resources. the u. s. is 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 has been a product courses. former us president, donal from said you said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing but they're in government to get that oil. so those statements and those act, but they not, it is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation inside syria. all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the company 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 this week, while the typical western mainstream media remain fairly silent, the rest of the world's media landscape was shaken by revelations that nato states lead by us specialists were allegedly behind the attack on rushers. nordstrom, to gas pipelines, according to the investigation, washington had even been planning the sabotage since 2021. by does decision 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 reveal that taught us officials were initially divided on my plans. the us force proposed some sort of aerial bombing campaign using remotely detonated explosives and then naval forces. they were pushing for some kind of submarine strike. now, the ideas were turned down in favor of a secret service plot involving a covert operation. us officials though,

and you need to hear this for your self. i previously well been very open about their intentions. have a listen to this. if russia invades, then there will be, there will be no longer a north stream to we will bring it into. i am. and 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 see these pipelines that is more streamlined from 2 we're not pumping gas into europe that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. sy hersh has used unnamed sources to reveal the atrocities that they have to deny this, and they have to try and smear this. i 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. the effect of the

north 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, jody blinking. jake sullivan. the players, as he calls it on his substract, the norwegian prime minister join a store who served on the instructor, bergman ahead of nature. the panamanian president florentine of course, is ow 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, jake sullivan, antony blinking, and victorian newland have an effect. murdered? well let's i give you the scoop on this because nobody else. well, the operation began during nato's annual navy drills in the baltic sea very close to the pipelines right. that the timing was designed to mosque american and

norwegian divers from russian surveillance with saboteurs allegedly planting camouflaged. c for explosives. right? that not to cover their trucks. washington officials decided to delay the destination for 3 months until the drills that essentially wraps up a so called independent investigative commission, apparently helped to cover the tracks of allies, norway, and america. that was according to see more how she was report with the u. s. informing as partners a possible unusual activity in the baltic sea in june, sweden, germany, and denmark, they formed a group to probe, but failed to find any clues. one of the very same time blocking russia from investigating its own sovereign pipelines about san european countries. of course suffer the consequences of having cut off russian gas. but the u. s. immediately deny the american journalists revelations, according to washington, that complete nonsense had you or anybody else at the state army

communication with german, norwegian ambassador, or other wise repairs on this matter. on the matter of nordstrom to on the matter of the latest allegations, it would, it would not be typical for us to engage allies in partners on something that is utter and complete nonsense. and that should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through us through an objective lens after an objective lens and you wonder why people just on buying it any more with comments like that, coming out of the us state department and mr. net price and why was the western media so quiet about this? when these ball michelle revelations came out clearly showing for the most part that indeed america and it's nato allies were the ones who bombed nor stream. and why was the media so quiet or his line, or to imagine for us the bomb shell report doesn't surprise anyone

because immediately after this happened, a lot of people said, wait a minute. this looks fishy bowlens. let's look at it this way. irrespective of, of the, your perspective or 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. i'm name a reporter or on unnamed 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 whistleblower. if you were to be commended or an unnamed source, a coward,

i eating, hiding somewhere in the darkness. what i hope i hope happens is at this, continues that independent journalist citizens civilian alternative, foreign journalist, hold everybody accountable and pursue this. don't abandon sy hersh don't turn around and say, well 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 that you love the journalistic practice. if you don't like it, then the people who say this are crackpot lunatics and psychotic conspiracy theorists. and so once again, it's up the news network.
