ah ah, indian tax authorities re bbc offices in new delhi on the moon by over allegations of tax evasion. that's according to arti source, iran and china find agreement to further expand bilateral cooperation at a meeting of both nations, leaders in beijing bus today, march 20 years since the un report on the absence of weapons of mass destruction in iraq, which was insufficient to stop us from starting the war actively justified by western media, one war reporter shares her memories of the events. part of my job was to sort of control the media and areas it help control the media narrative that was coming out of iraq. we completely stabilized states political system so that we can control it

with broadcasting, lot of direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas in the going to have you with right now. tax officials in india have rated to bbc offices in the cities of new delhi and mom by the raids tuesday morning came as part of a tax evasion investigation. just weeks after the news broadcasts are aired, documentary critical of the country's current prime minister and his alleged role in the good job riots back in 2002, which claimed the lives of nearly a 1000 r t correspondent, rule and sharma brings us more from your daily income tax offer still have mandating ddc office and you debbie and in mom by i speak, we are conducting a cell. we are calling to eat a cell. we're not a read our thoughts at this point. what we've been given to understand is that phones, laptops all on the list. and you all renew daily where i am right now. around

11 am tax went inside the b b also. they off to there. nobody is allowed to go out or even of from the office. interesting. got this comes almost a month off a, b, b, c documentary on 5 minutes. and in the movie he's role in of the why looms in the communal rights and good job of 2002 was released by bbc a london office. remember, it was banned in india. it was removed from several social media accounts as well. now the, what the opposition is saying is the government is using agency when data again see, see, i'll bought off what we've been given to wanted to sound from our sources in the income tax department. is that this has been done allegedly, because of tax manipulation, financial misappropriation. i know that several notices were sent to bbc in the

fall sense that they have failed to respond to those now school season. so we are on the current lee as the talk in the new tele and in my office is in fact there's a statement that has been released by the b, b. c. seeing that the income tax authorities are currently at b. c. offices in new delhi mon bye, and we are fully cooperating. we hope to have a solution resolved as soon as possible at a meeting of the iranian and chinese presidents in beijing, both leaders have signed agreements to further expand bilateral cooperation in various fields. now the deals include areas such as crisis management, international trade, export, and many other key fears. chinese leadership pain has welcomed iranian president, racy as he make his 1st ever have is the, the china with a large delegation of senior cabinet members staff accompanying him during his 3 day trip. now this comes as both countries refused to give in the strong western

pressure, praising their bilateral relations prior to the visit. here is c, g t, n corresponded, you will change out with more from the middle. aging says present a basis 3 day visiting further boost, a comprehensive, strategic partnership between the 2 side. so the 2 presidents also exchange very significant important topics on international issue. sees that, that trying to support the right stance in protecting grantee and territorial integrity. and that any confrontation should be resolved through a dialogue negotiation. racy also says both nations are against germany and unilateralism. it says the run is willing to strengthen communication with china on regional affairs as well as international affairs china. the such a cooperation does not target any 3rd parties and the relationship between the 2 is based on really multiple areas of common interest, as well as the interests of the world peace. chemo regime is

preparing for a so called great event in which plans to accuse moscow of radioactive contamination of ukrainian territories. those are the revelations presented by russia's defense ministry, who adds that ukraine is getting help from the you and norway, for the implementation of said plans. specialists from the norwegian radiation and nuclear safety directorate were involved in the preparation of the documentaries basis. and it's so called independent conclusion on the legit effects of radiation on the population of the north and northwest key of regions. the practical implementation of a large scale information provocation began at the end of january 2023 with a formal referral to the e. use emergency response coordination center at the official request of the key of regime for the supply of 66000 sets of special protective clothing. $20000000.00 civilian gas masks, as well as chemical reconnaissance devices, dawson meters, and

a wide range of antidote to ukraine. one this less cost to our corresponding eager to don off for more on the story you good. what can you tell us about the latest remarks by russians? defense ministry. well, absolutely. apparently, according to russia, key of his preparing his using the international community to prepare what russia is calling a provocation. they have invited norway specialists to well come and see how things are at the, in the direct vicinity of the chernobyl nuclear power plant. and according to the information at russia's disposal, they are ready to make the conclusion that the russian forces during their stay during when they were still in control of that part of ukraine, basically that they are responsible for contaminating largest weights of land. now i am talking about radioactive contamination. what is interesting, they are just talking about the direct the closest vicinity to the care noble power

plant. but rather they will also be they have also apparently took their readings in the settlements of boot chain. the town of gustavo and you're paying now, it is important to understand the geographically these towns, ah, well, a tens of kilometers away from the chernobyl nuclear power plant. and it is unclear how the radiation and basically the, the, the disaster of the eighty's. it has been contained long, long time ago, and it is unclear how the radiation could have traveled this far away from the facility itself. now, interestingly enough, again, i personally did have a chance to visit the chernobyl power plant a back when the again, when the russian forces were still in control over that part of are in control over that ukraine in control over the chernobyl power plant. and while we were there was perfectly safe, we were shown, doxey meters, and their readings were absolutely fine. and within the norm and in fact,

well below the norm. and also, on top of that, this information is corroborated by repeated research and studies and readings taken by the international atomic energy agency. and according to the russian side, all this, this provocations what they call it, is being done to fertilize the soil ahead of the un general assembly, which is scheduled to take place on the 22nd of this month. and apparently ukraine is looking to push a resolution, very much prove ukrainian resolution and anti russian. and this is done well to will to prepare the soul and to win the hearts and minds of the you and delegates. again, it is important that whatever resolutions are will be accepted and will be voted on a, at the you and general assembly. it will have the non blinding effect. so it won't be, it will just be a call to the you and member states. it will be just a cool, but it won't really oblige any country or any side to anything. all righty,

course done off. we know as the story developed, you'll keep cross it for us. thanks for your report. by now exaggerated false and misleading. that's how echo scientists have summed up the real results of $24.00 companies moving towards net 0 emissions. as it turns out, companies that consider themselves leaders in the fight against climate change are not quite as green as they make themselves out to be the 24 companies. net 0 pledges amount on average to a reduction commitment of just 36 percent. this demonstrates a huge chasm between what the companies are currently committing to and what is needed to avert the most damaging impacts of climate change. the goal of global net 0 emissions requires deep emission reductions in all economic sectors. net 0 targets that do not reflect deep emission reductions of at least 90 to 95 percent are misleading. the researchers accused the companies of relying on most of the

carbon to be removed from the air, either by offsets or by just striking the emissions off from the total swiss face nestle, the food and beverage company, which has a whole page on its website marketing its climate action plan, like all these companies do, plans to have net 0 emissions by 2050. at the latest. so as german car maker, volkswagen french grocery retailer cal, who'll aims to be carbon neutral by 2040. so little bit earlier. so be sure to make a little note right now in your agenda for 20 or 30 years from now to follow up and make sure that you hold them accountable. if they fall short. by the way, if they don't make it, they might just be your fault, nestle 3, the last month, that quote, the path to net 0 needs all of us. oh, in that case, if they don't make the target, maybe they're not to blame. maybe we all are,

we already saw what happened when countries failed to meet their emission reduction pledges. nothing happened to the countries. the company cited in this new report disagree with their portrayal. now nestle, for example, says that it will quote, continue reducing our emissions and removing carbon from the atmosphere. that sounds like a good one to try. the next time you're invited out somewhere, but really don't want to go. sorry, can't join you denied. i'm busy removing carbon from the atmosphere. and yeah, who can possibly argue with that? so there's a lot of marketing going on here with questionable benefits and results. and at the same time, oil companies have also been talking up that he to speed up the green energy revolution. there are 2 things that need to happen in this world. number one, when he took celebrate the energy transition. and number 2, the transition needs to be orderly needs to be orderly because if it's not supply and demand get out of whack, you get what happened last year. prices will skyrocket,

and people around the world will be dealing with a cost of living crisis. we're doing both accelerating the energy transition and ensuring the transition is an orderly one. but now that europe is actually facing an existential crisis and needs energy in large supply right now. big oil is shifting its focus back to fossil fuels, and last year's profits for shareholders didn't come from green energy renewables. they came from oil and gas and money talks. it's also disappointing to a group of $27.00 climate minded investors, representing $1.00 trillion dollars in assets who have now just written a letter to big european banks. pleading for them to please stop financing new oil and gas fields and projects by the end of this year. they must stop directly financing new oil and gas fields. second, banks must urgently turn their attention to the companies that are enabling new oil and gas feels from being discovered and developed. and not only is oil and gas

making come back, but the trend in europe and the ongoing energy crisis has been reversion to call germany austria, france, the netherlands, italy all have fire coal plants back up if only cool could be considered green to right. well, australia claimed that it was entirely possible. it had been peddling so called clean coal on the global market and selling it at a higher ah, claiming that it's clean burning would mean lower carbon offset cost for its buyers . turns out the whistleblower came forward last year saying that it was all just a big scam and that the clean aspect of the coal had been falsified and quality control tests. it's just a good thing that all that hot air being spewed by dodgy, green marketing, doesn't have a carbon footprint, and a price tag. well, at least it doesn't yet. researchers are sounding the alarm over lack of financing

for renewable energy in africa, despite persistent calls to jump on the green energy bandwagon. such projects only received 3 percent of global investments into renewables. even another regents of the world where energy access is still a challenge, like in the southeast asia, we don't see funding gaps of this magnitude, why africa? now this comes as the continents still struggles to provide its people with energy supplies, 600000000 africans, more than 40 percent of the continents population lack access to electricity, while almost a 1000000000 cannot use clean cooking fuels. but as the continent faces fuel shortages and a lack of investment into energy generation, the, you views the situation as a way to boost its own energy transition. africa is probably going to be the most important partner for europe in terms of developing the renewable energy sector. the european union will need more green hydrogen than we can produce ourselves. so we're looking for countries where green hydrogen can be produced. i think if you

look at each country from the perspective of his own development and taking into account the energy situation, it will assist countries, duplex, or africa, i guess a lot of investment costs in industrialization. but in general, it's minerals and oil and gas for the most in terms of investment, many cases where the african countries have got more minerals we started acquired in inputs into the new technologies of the future. i mean like better, we live down and so forth. so the user is most of the work could be extract the mineral, which will see the world in terms of building knowledge and vision. but that may not benefit africa. a good expression of african resources for the benefit of the rest of the world, but not as the grim anniversary of the us invasion of iraq approaches the

20 year mark here on our team will bring our special coverage of one of the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from gray. with food and medicine. and sleep. with

today marks of the 20th anniversary of the un security council meeting. when did the head of the united nations monitoring mission at the time stated that there were no traces of mass destruction weapons in iraq. however, this did not stop the u. s. which used the false presence of w m. d. 's as a pretext for attacking the middle eastern country in 2003 back then. the secretary of state flatly rejected the idea of peace regulation proposed by the french foreign minister in this temple of the united nations. we are the guardians of an ideal, the guardians of a conscience. the owner is responsibility and immense honor. we have must lead us to give priority to disarmament through peace. ah,

we are facing a difficult situation. more inspectors. sorry. not the answer. top us officials were not the only ones justifying the invasion. western media actively follow their lead, closely observing and supporting the us bombing of baghdad and on the ground. american reporters worked around the facts, justifying the us led invasion. one war journalist who was in the ranks of the us military army at the time, shared her memories with us. so, 2005 to 2006, i went to iraq, 207-2000 8. by the time i got out, i just realized that it was much different from how it had been painted. and i didn't want to be a journalist, any more, per se, part of my job was to sort of control the media narrative, help control the media narrative, those coming out of iraq. ah,

i went out with a viewed it though is doing and night read. in a village where there were supposedly some high value targets team, i was with do knocked on not being kicked in a few doors scares people. and you know, did a lot of a lot of, you know, intimidating of people and entering of buildings. but i did not come back with anyone, but the other teams did. and so the next day night rates are in the morning. i went out to the place where they were detaining people. they had all the detainees, and they had him all lined up. i'm just why unfolded zip tide? just neely on the ground and, and the other is know,

these people's identities were not given. it was, it just seemed to me like it was just, it was a lot of random people to me or were we detain them anyway? so the story i had to write was, you know, that this mission had been largely successful and we had detain 90 insurgence. i always kind of go back to that as like all we were ever really trying to do is provide the lose of control and winning the what we were doing with your community. ah, the us was fully realized. it's dream of becoming the largest terrorist organization. i see it is

a tragedy on every level. i see it is central loss of life. you know, the achievements are all very dark and negative and terrible. nothing having to do with anyone's liberation, destroyed the infrastructure in iraq. we destroyed basically chased the entire professional class out of iraq. we completely stabilized its political system so that we could control it. so, you know, we essentially privatized iraq and joy dummy on these stories. just the tip of the iceberg, given that most western outlets at the time turned out more sharing slogans. ortiz don quarter dig deeper into how the war coverage looked 20 years ago. what we have seen on television, though, is indeed the 1st phase of a day. we

a campaign called shock and awe by the u. s. military. the tech came in waves cruise missiles followed by the f. 117. so palmer, with so called bunker russian golf americas crusade to shock at all a rack and the world into us dominated democracy. had begun, no cost was too high if it meant accomplishing the goal shut and the country down would entail both the physical destruction of appropriate infrastructure and the shut down and control of the flow of old vital information and associated commerce . so rapidly as to achieve a level of national shock, i came to the effect that drop in nuclear weapons on hiroshima and nagasaki had on the japanese this term shock and all quickly became a household name, appearing on everything from energy drinks and coffee to video games and condoms, kind of morbid, considering thousands of people were killed in the 1st several weeks of this doctrines application. but back then the mainstream media did everything it could

to justify the u. s. invasion. there were no strangers to censorship either in their mission to win over average american hearts and minds for a hunt to find nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. my stories raising questions about the administration's claim, so the link between iraq and al qaeda were being cut burried or held out of the paper altogether. i grew so sick of this that when the washington post reported that a rock had turned over its nerve gas to terrorists, i refused to try to match the story. one mid level editor in the washington bureau yelled at me for my refusal. he came to my desk carrying a golf club while they are eating me after i told him that the story and i wasn't going to make any calls on it. later on. the same media outlets even admitted much of what they published was not based on a shred of evidence. we have found a number of instances of coverage that was not as rigorous as it should have been. in some cases, information that was controversial then, and seems questionable now,

was insufficiently quantified, are allowed to stand unchallenged. looking back, we wish we had been more aggressive in re examining the claims. as new evidence emerged, all fate to emerge. we should have warned the readers, we had information that the basis for these was shakia. those are exactly the kind of statements that should be published on the front page. so many lie, so many people sent to fight a brutal war based on those lies. and for those responsible for it, all, the lack of any sort of accountability allowed them to wipe their hands clean and move on with their political careers as if nothing happened. the human costs of the invasion were immense. and despite the war being officially over, iraqis still suffered the consequences of us presence in the country today, as civilians frequently become targets of american violence. one of these victims is an iraqi girl who was shot and killed in september last year. her relatives shared her story with us.

ah, ah ah ha. she was a student. she was helping me with my work. like any child she dreamed about finishing school and becoming a teacher. i thought she was only in her early lou allen. it definitely was an american bullet. i think that the responsibility lies primarily with us troops. i didn't expect that the need would be killed. maybe it could have happened to my brother or any other family member or neighbors, but not as a neither one did choose to get out of the house only for 2 hours. i believe the dia, the incident with zine ab is not assessed. we've suffered from the shootings constantly

as the training grounds are behind us. there's been more than 14 cases of people wounded by the trainings. we've even called only officials to deal with the shootings which is led to casualties. ah, lots of, i'm going to believe the crime has been reported internationally, but locally it has become a matter of great public opinion. the wolf sin was she killed the mall to sign up to some magic. i casale, 15 year old girl walking on the farm with her father, killed by american troops, with the silence of civil society organizations, human rights organizations, childrens ryder organizations, and women's rights. ah

well la shawna fell on this father was martyr in 2003 by us. true, probably not. there was a camp near our house which was adjacent to the airport. their troops were always on standby. and when they saw my father sitting there and thought he was monitoring them, it's not a shot of it. later they admitted they made a mistake when they killed him. only when we were at the hospital, the americans told me that their cameras spotted my father and accidentally they shot him, but no contact was made after that. americans only care about themselves. so while other foreign citizens, not only iraqis or take into account the last of all of the iraqi blood is worthless for them on want. americans only have brought harm to us. things have been getting worse and worse since the invasion. and we do not see any improvement of them. i would like to say to all americans that the iraqis have dignity despite the tragedy which happened to us. if they were humane, they would come and apologize. but they did nothing. we do not expect them to some simple mafia on the invasion of iraq is led to the destruction and fragmentation of

rocky sizing americans destroyed on national unity. we all saw the crimes perpetrated by the u. s. troops and the black water contract is against the people . the murder of zine ab is a continuation of the american crimes. they did not come to do justice to iraqi people, but to demolish out of money. and then we will continue our special coverage of the iraq war. and it's tragic legacy throughout the month. you can always visit our website. archie dot com, to get more on the u. s. invasions grim anniversary. ah, with ah, ah

ah. ah. since the beginning of its history, the united states of america has officially declared the striving for freedom and people's rights to happiness. however, in reality, having won independence, american colonists headed for the total extermination of the indigenous population of the continent. american indians were deprived of their land. local residents were driven into reservations and given the worst agricultural territories. while the best land was appropriated by white colonizers, the strongest blow to american indian tribes was the extermination of buys of

native americans lived by hunting these wild animal, colonists slaughter the bison, and in fact, made them nearly extinct. every buffalo dead is in india and gone, said colonel richard dodged a veteran of the bloody and vicious indian wars cynically. the indigenous population was simply exterminated us army general phillips sheridan expressed the essence of this policy. in the infamous words, the only good india is a dead indian, the genocide of native americans of north america lead to a demographic catastrophe. the exact number of deaths is still unknown, but the number of victims is in millions. having been the majority on the continent before the indigenous people make up less than 3 percent of the us population today . ah, ah.
