here in 2003 you russia will try to gather intelligence about most aspects of norway's oil, gas, and energy sector. police security service considers it unlikely that russia will carry out any act of sabotage on norwegian territory in 2023. if russia's willingness to escalate the conflict with nato and the west were to increase however, acts of sabotage against strategic targets of norway will become
1:02 pm
a more likely scenario. in the current security policy situation, police security service considers the petroleum sector to be a particularly vulnerable target. russia has yet to comment on us loads claims night comes days off. the prominent us journalist seymour hersh a lead norway itself had the hands in blowing up the new stream. pipelines, according to his investigation, also helps us plan the operation as well as notify suite and denmark, and the norwegian plane dropped so no boys that communicated with the plan to the explosives. when. meanwhile, russian energy supplies to europe have dramatically decreased, making norway's europe's largest supply of gas and 2022. the country's tax revenue from oil and gas increased 3 fold compared to the previous year of sciences. rolling europe's energy security. if the reason why russia may spy on it no way is the former prime minister, current secretary general of nato,
1:03 pm
his pledge to increase infrastructure security thing is pipelines will seem to be vulnerable. allies will also start to discuss the new defense in less than plans, protection of critical infrastructure in particular, and the infrastructure of for infrastructure. because we have seen that these on the c cables, pipelines are wonderful, and it's important that we coordinate more our efforts to protect critical infrastructure. earlier we spoke with a german politician on european parliament member back who said no way to get it with germany and other western states. i was simply not keen on digging into the truth behind the news stream. bombings, as the hush revelations are an embarrassment to the european leaders. there is now much talk about the protection of critical infrastructure in the future. well, i think the best thing to do right now would be to start with an impartial
1:04 pm
investigation. but no one, no one in the west is keen on it. the swedes are, may have carried out an investigation, but they keep quiet about it. the norwegians that, according to mister hersh, i were involved. i don't want an explanation. they old so profit from the breakdown of the north stream to a gas supply pipelines and the german government has no interest. the commission has no interest when it's beginning to wonder what they're all trying to hide as to the claims made by the norwegian, official bodies. the issue of what russia may or may not may want or not want to do against norway in the future as neither here or that we haven't seen any a tax on norwegian at infrastructure. there's no immediate sign of it. i think the
1:05 pm
best way to prevent such attacks, or if the norwegians i'm particularly keen to discuss the possibility of such and taxes. it, it played an active role in investigating who's really behind the north stream attacks. and the norwegians haven't been all that cooperative so far. practically, everyone in the west is satisfied with the, as yet prevailing view, or official view, that russia destroyed its own infrastructure. but let me assure you, a large part of the german population, a large part of the european population, and are far from convinced by the official view. this just no bo tips. russia may have had. why should they destroy the own valuable infrastructure?
1:06 pm
mister hurst revelations, ah, ed, to the embarrassment, the german government, it's put it clearly. if the us were responsible, then the german government would be the last institution in the world to press them to mitigate tax officials in india have rated to b. b. c. offices in the city of new delhi and mom by the rates tuesday morning, came as part of a tax evasion investigation 2 weeks off beneath broad tom documentary critical of india's current prime minister. and his alleged role in the good you ross riots by can 2002, which claim the life of nearly a 1000 to respond to the region sharma brings the details from the deli income tax office should have landed in bbc offices in new delhi. and in mon, by i week they are conducting a cell way. they're calling the 8th

1:08 pm
because of tax manipulation, financial misappropriation, and also that several notices were sent to be seen the false and that they have failed to respond to those. now we'll see. so we are on currently, as we talk in the new tele and in my office is in fact there's a statement that has been released by the bbc saying 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. the piece deal between a t grey militants on the ethiopian government was prepared by washington to save rebels from losing on the battlefield as the words that they ever tree. and president who also stated that the start of the warranty therapy was supported by could take res masters in washington. we entered into the 3rd round of war in
1:09 pm
unison with you with the experiences gardner during the 1st and 2nd phases. putting aside the issue of sovereignty, the t p l f leaders didn't know their capabilities, the group in washington who instructs and stirs them is no better washington's wrong calculation is what has boosted the confidence of the t p l. f. to start the war. to discuss further, we go live with our teeth, africa, corresponding caribella heartland. now many thanks for joining us. cargo. now, what are the details stand out from the retrained presidents of statements? well, as you know, the t p l f has been accused of being supported by washington. and that's some of the rumors that started making their rounds. but in this case, it was the 1st time we get it from a sitting president. as i us of working the president of a tree came all guns blazing. i choosing washington of supporting the t grey people

liberation front, which was the other entity in the wall that took place in the o. p. a. now the, this was a war between the european federal government and the northern forces of the t gray region. and president, the key not only goes days, goes further to say that he believes that even the reason deal that are assigned in november last year was rushed by washington. because it needed to save face in the face of, of mountain losses when it comes to the t p l f. and he says that he was not surprised to find that this was the case. having gone into that. but he is president of where he with more i thought he's i africa corresponding corolla. how many things for the update that correct? thank you. okay. and is preparing for

a so called great events in which you plans to accuse moscow of radioactively contaminating ukrainian territories. there was all the revelations from russia's defense ministry, which means that ukraine is getting help from the e. u and norway, for the implementation of its plan. specialists from the norwegian radiation and nuclear safety director. it were involved in the preparation of the documentary is 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, dasa meters, and a wide range of antidote to ukraine. according to russia, k of is preparing,
1:12 pm
is using the international community to prepare what russia is calling a provocation. they have invited newly 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. and now i am talking about radioactive contamination. what is interesting, they are just talking about the direct the closest vicinity to the chernobyl power plant. but rather they will also be, they have also, apparently, ah, took their readings in the settlements of butcher 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
1:13 pm
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 5th realty 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 the chernobyl power plant. and while we were there, it 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
1:14 pm
is looking to push a resolution very much pro ukrainian resolution at anti russian. and this is done well to will to prepare the soil 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 the r at the un general assembly. it will have the non binding effect. so it won't be, it will just be a call to you and member states. it will be just a call, but it won't really oblige any country or any side to anything. the precedence of iran and china has met in beijing and signed agreements for the further expansion of co operation in various fields. the deals are in space such as crisis management, international trade and export. among a few, a chinese lady sheet in pink as welcome to the rainy and can spot apprehend racy. as he made his 1st ever official visit to china with
1:15 pm
a large delegation of senior cabinet members accompanying him for the 3 day trip, it comes to both countries refused to give in to strong western pressure, praising that bilateral relations prior to the visit. his digital and correspondent unified jar with more from the meeting page, it says present races, 3 day visits, and further boost, a comprehensive, strategic partnership between the 2 side. so the 2 presidents also exchange very significant important topics on international issues to see that that china supports the around stands in protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity. and that any confrontations should be resolved through dialogue and 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
1:16 pm
based on really multiple areas of common interest, as well as the interest of the world teeth you call claims that has evidence to implicate iran and supplying weapons to the who's the rebels and water union and so on has repeatedly denied such allegations which london has been making for years. this is the 1st time we've been able to present evidence to the you. when that indicates the direct link between the iranian state and the supply of these weapons, the u. k. says it found the evidence on a recognizance drone was seized by its armed forces during a naval raid early this month. according to london data recovered from the aircraft, suggests it was tested by the iranian military before being shipped to humans, rebels along with miss our parts. back in 2014, the un prohibited sending weapons to the hoot these off. they talk, demons government sparking a civil war. however, london itself has been openly on many arming the saudi led coalition has been
1:17 pm
bombing the rebel held cities in yemen for years. according to a recent report from u. k, charity oaks from the coalitions as strikes of killed at least 87, yemen, 8th and dingy, 136 others in just the past 14 months. 39 percent of those attacks on said to have triggered the displacement of civilians. britain has previously been accused of complicity in war crimes in yemen, which london has vehemently denied while defending its own going supplies of weapons to saudi arabia og spam safety, u. k is fueling but devastating conflicts. our analysis shows there is a passive violence against civilians. the intensity of these attacks would not have been possible without a ready supply of arms. that is why it's vital the u. k. government and others must immediately stop the arm sales as a feuding war in yemen. as discuss now with alexander mackay political analyst on that, it's a red star radio many thanks for joining us on the program this evening. now, with the cable feel reaction to the latest allegations from london,
1:18 pm
claiming it has evidence to implicate iran in arming who the rebels. well, i think it's the latest example of the finest british tradition of hypocrisy. which can be established fairly easily because the british government has been supplying weapons to the saudis, not just since the beginning of this current war and the last decade, but over the last really 75 years since the end of world war 2. and since the foundation of the modern saudi state, but more particularly with regards to yemen, they not only have been supplying weapons to saudi arabia that they have been supplying most crucially, the aircraft that the saudis used to bomb the targets. they strike in yemen including civilian targets, as your introduction indicated. and as oxfam has documented, but also they provide direct assistance in the form of armed forces personnel from britain and from the united states who actually serve in control senses in saudi
1:19 pm
arabia, helping to target occasions in yemen. so the british government is directly involved in this war and has been from the very beginning. and so for them to complain and make allegations about the government of iran, now is really the highest of people. obviously, when you should be noted at the iranian government across, denies, providing alms to the, the, the healthy movement. but the british are involved in this war, it to a massive degree. and to claim otherwise is a, just this simply a lie from the british go. when having said that, what do you make the allegations of the u. k. could be complicit and saudi led coalition war crimes in yemen. oh, the british government is undoubtedly complete as it in saudi war crimes and has been for a very long time. and after all the saudi air campaign against the nation would not be possible without the direct assistance of the british government. and
1:20 pm
there has been a long series of know very well documented attacks on civilians on civilian targets that couldn't possibly have been mistaken for military installations. including school buses, public health institutions, things like that, which the british government and the american government with them had to know very well, or at least highly suspect heavily would not military targets but which were targeted anyway. they have net, they're never going to cut off the supply of either weaponry or intelligence or direct assistance on targeting to the saudis. because the relationship, the british government and the american government have, with the saudi state, is too important for them to jeopardize by actually acting in a even vaguely ethical fashion when it comes to civilian targeting civilians. so the british government is up to its neck in the war, crimes of the saudi state. no matter how many accusations it pros,
1:21 pm
iran or anybody else, car wash, that responsibility away. well, the case it previously stop, it's flow of weapons to the saudis, but then it restarted the supplies in 2020. do you think there's anything that might stop london from maintaining the shipments? now the only thing i could think of that would make the british government separate relationship is very profitable. relationship with saudi state is if of course the saudi state switched sides in this. now global realignment that's going on. and started actually moving more towards the bricks alliance and away from me it's alliance with the u. s. britain. if they did that, then the british might cut off the arms. but as things stand, the british are going to try desperately to maintain this close alliance with the saudis, because they relied on that to exercise their influence in the middle east for over 70 years now. so barring the,
1:22 pm
a change in continued changing policy in the saudi state, the british are going to give up that relationship and they are going to give up the very profitable selling of arms to saudi arabia. what do you think the united nations has been seemingly one sided in this conflict, sanctioning the who the rebels, but failing to do the same over the alleged war crimes committed by the saudi led coalition? i think it's because the united nations, unfortunately, is the institution which now is completely dominated by the united states. it has been so probably since at least the 19 ninety's when the soviet union imploded and the americans were able to completely take over all the different un agencies, which is why they are able to use them for propaganda purposes. and what's particularly unfortunate is that this of course, completely destroys the current ability of the united nations as an international institution one which actually represents the various different countries of the
1:23 pm
world. it is now going to be increasingly seen by yemen, knees by russians, by chinese, and anybody else who's designated as an enemy of the united states or something which is just a tool, the u. s. power and the power of the allies, including the british. so this is devastating, along with the other current events for the credibility of the united nations and will lead many countries to look at ultimately setting up other international institutions. when the current one that is supposed to represent only only represents the interests of one particular country, and that is the united states and along with them, the british narrow allies. alexander mackay political analyst on the i just read editor of right, so radium. anything fuel time really appreciate it. thank you. whether didn't saw of a refugee company, jerusalem, i reportedly gone on strike off the israel rate at the area. it responds to the
1:24 pm
deadly stopping of a police officer on monday and a separate incident. a palestinian man has been killed and several of his injured in another raid north of the west bank on his middle east corresponded maria phenomenal and jerusalem takes a closer look at the rising tensions between israel and palestine. earlier on monday, a young israeli border police officer died following a stab an attack at the checkpoint to show a fod refugee camp. just 5 kilometers from jerusalem's. old c t happened when he got on a bus for security check, and apparently one of the passengers pulled out the knife and attacked him. investigation is currently undergoing. but preliminary report by rarely police say that as security guard who saw the attack, tried to stop the attack and opened fire, but the bullet ended up killing the officer. he died later from injuries the attack was arrested on the small t, the 13 year old boy, the resident of the sure fod refugee camp. shortly after that,
1:25 pm
the israel enforces re that the camp and as a result to the attack, his parents and his brothers were arrested. clashes broke out between local residents and these rally police. during this raid, no casualties have been reported. the country's national security minister bennet varies now considering to shut down all entrances and exits to the sharp eyed refugee camp for several days for security reasons. they recent attack happened just hours after another incident. 20 young jewish man was stab and his back in the old t t o jerusalem by a teenager who was later, also high down to fight as the resident of the refugee camp of shore fought. it has been quite turbulent here on the ground lately, and some explained by a very hard line that the country's new government chooses regarding power. senior affairs, to watch, palestinians respond violently and angrily. the military have been intensified all throughout the coupon. westbank a especially in the northern part of it. according to the latest reports, $48.00 palestinians have been killed in these raids since the beginning of this
1:26 pm
year, including civilians, the demolitions all their policy to houses that israel sees as illegal have also been in full swing. include in east, in jerusalem, the rock adult is from the other side to 10 israeli civilians have been killed into terrorists tags, including here in jerusalem, and had deadly shooting near the synagogue in one of the religious neighborhoods. chand, remnants of interest last week that took the lives of 3 people, including 2 children. and also recently there have been her rocket exchange with the gaza strip. so yes, i have to say the temperatures are rising here on the ground recently and fears out that we're going to see even more dramatic escalation as israel is determined to continue its harsh policy. and palestinians will obviously respond. we spoke to the head of the palestinian national initiative. he says israel's new government is not like negotiations at all. then it shows that he wasn't ab government,
1:27 pm
which is not on the extreme, not only the most obvious in the history of it, but actually it is a government that has fascists. it very seriously dangerous fascists like being non smoker. those are the ones who are a senior people to have a c like necessity up. i'm kind of like a government is fine and they have a negotiation. they will never have to stay there will not even with people in front of you. so i think one message that they are going to start on the, the language force and then practicing, going to be that i'm going to force me thanks for joining us. hey,
1:29 pm
ah hello, welcome to wells fargo. what's considered their was miles davis if these really palestinian conflict has long been overshadowed by many other hot wars, but it's still continuous influencing jo politics in barely perceptible. yes. fundamental ways is a fair resolution even possible at this point. and can these really palestinian stalemate for any card one inside the war. and ukraine want to discuss that are now a joint from long done by daniel lee v. a former israeli peace negotiator and president of the hughes middle east project. it'd be great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. ok, good to be with you. now let me start with that and use
1:30 pm
a subject that is israel's old new prime minister benjamin netanyahu expressing his willingness and readiness to mediate the conflict in the ukraine. if both sides agree to that, um, do you think israel or this is really government in particular, have a solid piece making credentials or potential for that matter, but it's an interesting way of approaching the question on a i don't think it's prime minister netanyahu is credentials, is a piece makeup of that would possibly stand him in good stead to play a role in the ukraine crisis. he may not. and you may well disagree with me and say, look, i've done amazing things between israel and certain gulf, an arab states with the so called abraham a court. but these were very much stitched together by the united states. and.
