for ah ah, regional authorities came, russia may sabotaged that energy infrastructure relations with the, with the carrier rates. it comes to days off to a permanent american journalists would go to report that also polluted with washington to blow up with stream pipeline in tax authorities rate b, b c. offices in new delhi on the month by reportedly over allegations of tax evasion . according to our team, so with waiting on to ron, signed a series of new bilateral agreements in defiance of us pressure, seeking to isolate a wrong cape china from expanding is cynthia with

a very welcome from all of our team here in moscow. this is all t international with the latest wealth news that is good to have a company. norwegian security officials have claimed that russia has plans to spy on the nordic countries, the energy infrastructure this year, and possibly even sabotage as if relations with the west. continue to deteriorate. in 2003, 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 active sabotage on norwegian territory in 2023. if russia's willingness to escalate the conflict with nato and the westward to increase however, acts of sabotage against strategic targets, norway will become a more likely scenario. in the current security policy situation,

police security service considers the petroleum sector to be a particularly vulnerable target has come to the days off the prominence american journalist seymour hersh ledge. that no way itself had a hand in blowing up the new stream pipelines. according to his investigation, also helps us plan and carry out the operation with special forces divers, last june. and a wage in plain is said to have dropped the device that triggered the explosives. crippling the pipelines in september. well, as a result, russian energy exports to the you have plummeted, allowing norway to become europe largest supplier in 2020 to the nordic nations tax revenue from oil and gas sells increase. so we photo compared to the previous year . also, scientists rolled in europe's energy security as the reason why russia could allegedly try to spy on the country. no ways form a promise. again, stilton burke who now leads nato, has vowed to increase infrastructure security on the see best of the alliance.

allies will also start to discuss the new defense investment plans, protection of critical infrastructure in particular, and the infrastructure of for infrastructure. because we have seen that these and the c cables pipelines or vulnerable on it's important that we coordinate more our efforts to protect the critical infrastructure. we spoke with german politician and european parliament member back. he said, countries like germany and norway are simply not keen on exposing the truth behind the node stream bombings as the hash report to prevent revelations or an embarrassment european leaders. there's 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 investigation. but no one, no one in the west is keen on it. the swedes are that may have carried out an

investigation, but they keep quiet about it. the norwegians that according to mr. hersh ah, we're involved a 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 su off. 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 attacks on norwegian, at infrastructure. there's no immediate sign of it. i think the best way to prevent such attacks or if the norwegians i'm particularly keen to discuss the possibility

of such a taxes. a 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. there's just no motives. russia may have had, why should they destroy their own valuable infrastructure? mister hearse, revelations, ah, add to the embarrassment that the german government,

it's put it clearly. if the u. s. were responsible, then they'll german government would be the last or institution in the world to press them to admit it. ah, tax officials in india have rated to b, b c. offices in the cities of new delhi. and mom by this reportedly comes as part of a tax evasion. prob, his week off to the british news broadcast at documentary critical of india's current prime minister, it was a pointed tenure range, were modi's allege roll, and the good you route ryan's back in 2002, which claim the lives of more than a 1000 people in western india are these were engine sharma has the latest from new delhi income tax office should have landed in bbc offices in new delhi. and in mon, by i speak, they are conducting a so we're calling the 8th a. so in order to read or thought to the point,

what we've been given to understand is that phones laptops, several john to live, sees, and y'all renew daily where i am right now around 11 am. taxman went inside the bdc also. they are to, there's, nobody is allowed to go out or in from the office. interesting. 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 lives in the community. right. and good job of 2002 was released by bbc 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 agencies when data against b, c are bought off. what we've been given to wanted to sound from our sources and the income tax department is that this has been done allegedly, because of the tax manipulation,

financial misappropriation. and also 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 currently as be talking the new tele and in my office is in fact there is a statement that has been released by the b b. c. seeing conduct with all of our 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 across the, in beijing, china as president, his hosting, his iranian counterpart. and they've already signed agreements to expand by the actual cooperation in various they'll cover crisis management and mutual exports to name a few. the 1st time that runs president abraham bracy has visited china. he's accompanied by launch delegation of senior cabinet members on his 3 day visit is comes in. both

countries refused to yield to mounting west and pressure. his c g, t and correspondent unifor job with more from the meeting. preaching says, present a race is 3 day visit can further boost a comprehensive, strategic partnership between the 2 side. so the 2 presidents also exchange very significant important topics on international issue. these that china supports around stands in protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity. and that any confrontations should be resolved through 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. these, 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. ah,

do they come in peace for many americans now asking off the washington cities military has shut down 3 mysterious un foes of unknown origin. while the government has not suggested there's anything extra terrestrial going on. the media is spinning in a frenzy about the incidence that steve sweeney investigates. whether the whole story might actually be a distraction for something much more down to america has turned into a real life version of the x files seeming to be in a collective meltdown or to shooting down a number of unidentified flying objects from its skies over the past week is even had to down play phase of an imminent alien evasion. i just wanted make sure we addressed this from the white house. i know there's been questions and concerns about this, but there is no again, no indication of aliens or extra terrestrial activity. with these recent take downs, washington did it for days before shooting down a chinese weather balloon. yet it now seems to be trigger happy as it bloss any

object it sees as a potential threat. but the timing has arouse suspicion coming soon off to pulitzer prize. winning journalist seymour hersh alleged the u. s. blew up the new old string to pipeline. a former u. s. intelligence whistleblower suggest that you f o sightings are often used as a distraction. it's not aliens. i wish it were aliens, but it's not aliens. it's just the old engineered panic and attractive nuisance. ensuring national security reporters get assigned to investigate balloon ball rather than budgets or bombings. a la nord stream until next time. and the developments had been greeted with mockery and skepticism. don't worry just some alien friends of mine stopping by while a former f b. i agent with top level security clearance insist that the latest sightings could be part of a false flag. alien invasion, military officials are working with the law because they really need to get the fear to get back on the map with this frank hearing invasion that we're going to see a lot more politicians start supporting the architects and the you. a piece hush has

predictably been to smith's as a crank on the story of fantasy, but he is just that latest evidence. the toys, the finger of suspicion at washington, including comments from senior us officials and the president himself. if for, if russian rage, that means tanks or troops crossing the on the border of ukraine again, then there will be we, there will be no longer a nor stream to like here i am. and i think 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 during the 19 fifties and 19 sixty's. a spite of u. f o is, was spotted over the u. s. leading to conspiracy theories about an eminent invasion . roswell became a haven for conspiracy theories and crimes. convinced that aliens were being experimented on there with a trove of articles and mysterious footage cert,

connecting hundreds of hollywood movies were made in part to keep the u. s. public fearful of the soviet union with the u. f. o phenomenon, a deeply rooted in anti communism. most infamously panic ensued offer 1938 radio broadcast of h. g. wells is war of the worlds. ladies and gentlemen, i have a grave announcement to make incredible, as it may seem, both the observations of science and the evidence of our eyes lead to the end. it's capable of something that though it's things being landed in the jersey family life . but it later transpired that there was a simplex nation for many of the on explain phenomena. the pentagon was conducting cover experiments with new military technology and spy planes. and the see how you mated to planting fake stories to make people believe that they were u. f. o 's, over half of all u. f o reports from the late 1950 to the 1900 sixty's were accounted for by mand reconnaissance flights. this led the air force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to lay public fears and to protect an

extraordinarily sensitive national security project. one to this claim that the latest you, if you sky is a soiled and softening of public support for increased military spending as possible, new cold war against china and russia, the u. f. o stories all over corporate media are being pushed heavily by the us military and spy agencies. looking back at history, this looks like a psychological operations to hide new experimental technology and or manufacture consent for increased military budgets and a new arms race with china. russia, it is known that the u. s. has invested in with then us president donald trump space fleet widely marked at the time. the pentagon has admitted that there is a spot to get space program with the united states space force officially becoming the 6 balance of the us military and december, 2019. in other words, spying, but now the focus is pivoted to china. washington's new global rival, similar tactics being deployed to scare the public and convinced them that by using

is a threat to the american way of life. if i could communicate one thing to the american people from this unique vantage point, it is that the peoples republic of china poses the greatest threat to america today and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom worldwide. since world war 2 is also gaining traction among gung ho, republicans who have long baited as president joe biden. i'm the democrat. so being weak on china, some of them are predicting even perhaps hoping for a war with china, which is of course, surrounded by hundreds of u. s. military bases. as for the europe owes well as modern, scotty would say, the truth is out there somewhere. not in a galaxy far far away, but closer to home, legal and media and in his line on say it. so to easy for washington to use sensationalist stories as a snug screen cover. mench loved to divert and confuse and here we have big

tack. we have the, these sock puppet media that is just connected and acting as a proxy through shadow government and invisible government, deep state, whatever you want to call it. it's a mish mash, it's a, it's a ball of string that's knotted up. and it's so complicated, but here's the best part. the best part is we just love to sit back and say, this is terrific. is this an a u f o o? bolona is not an alien craft. my god, what are we talking about? but then the other day, somebody used the term u f. o. now that was a term of art. why did they say that? they didn't say it unnamed crowd and then you have this extremely vague. oh god, this, this people in the military and white house spokesman, well we're, we're not saying it's a you are for, we're not really sure, deliberately bathing people. but if you think this is diverting,

the american people and the media from subjects they don't care about in the 1st place. you, i could take you to time square a black from here and ask a 1000 people, you know, and nord stream to was they to who, nor stream. i've got all their albums. they don't know what you're talking about. and ms. m. a classic republic of the congo, thousands of gathered for the money piece festival, aimed at promoting reconciliation in the country. this being torn by armed conflicts for 2 decades, crowns or singing and dancing away the troubles with their spirit, seemingly unfazed by the ongoing strife in a d. r. c. the annual event is usually have leased in city of goma but had to be relocated this time due to n $23.00 rebel activity in the area. ammonia is one of the biggest cultural events in the d. r. c. lasting several days with plenty of local artists since attaining the visitors. we heard from some of the people we've organized and attended the faithful sofa. let me put it tiki. the problem of region is political is the

military and sociological it. but the festival intervenes more on the sociological level of those aspects of the problem are somewhat mitigated by the festival, which has become a symbol of peace and eastern congo. so little, so my thinking if received permission from our government to participate in the ammonia festivals so that we can see that we are one and that we can hold hands. it is for this purpose that our country has decided that we can come and comfort people and show the whole world that we are together. and in cohabitation like this, 2nd was up, was due to security reasons. we weren't allowed to hold an event and go mm. hm, so we gathered in vacaville instead for the record, we want stability, tranquillity, and for life to go on. this is our country, and it is through dialogue and listening to each other that we can stabilize our nation. violence has never been good for the stability of the region. as the grim anniversary of the us invasion of iraq approaches the 20 year mark heron, r c,

we continue 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 green food and sleep with was tuesday, march the 20th anniversary,

all the un security council meeting where the head of the united nations monitoring mission stated that there were no traces of weapons of mass destruction in iraq. however, this didn't stop the u. s, which used the false w and d narrative as a pretext for invading the country in march, 2003 ahead of the war. washington flatly rejected the idea of peace regulations proposed by countries, including france in this temple of the united nations. we are the guardians of an ideal, the guardians of a conscience, the onerous responsibility and immense honor. we have must lead us to give priority to disarmament in peace. ah, we are facing a difficult situation. more inspectors? sorry, not the answer. took us officials were not the only ones justifying the invasion.

western media actively followed their lead, closely observing and supporting the bombing of baghdad and on the ground american, the port is work to round the fats to whitewash the illegal war. almost at western atlas at the time it turned out walk cheering, slogans ortiz at donald quoted. it's deeper into how the invasion was covet 20 years ago. but we have seen on television, though, is indeed the 1st phase of a day. we are campaign call shock and awe by the u. s. military. the attack came away. cruise missiles followed by the f. $117.00 so palmer with the so called walker russian golf americas crusade to shock at our 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 berating 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 fe to emerge, we should have worn to reduce. we had information that the basis for this 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, it's still suffer. the consequences of us presence in the country today as civilians frequently become targets of american violence. one of these victims isn't a rocky girl who was shot and killed in september last year. her relative shared her story with us. ah, ah, ah, a lot on their shoes,

a student shoes helping me with my work. like any child she dreamed about finishing school and becoming a teacher. she was only in her early youth. it definitely was an american bullet. i think that the responsibility lies primarily with us troops. i didn't expect that any would be killed. maybe it could have happened to my brother or any other family member or neighbors, but not as a need one. she used to get out of the house only for 2 hours. i remember dia, the incident with zine ab is not the 1st 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 with aidan called on the officials to deal with the shootings which has led to casualties ah lot. i don't believe the crime has been reported internationally,

but locally it has become a matter of great public opinion. for what sin was she kelte? the marty a sign up is saw magic. i casale. 15 year old girl walking on the farm with her father killed by american troops. but the silence of civil society organizations, human rights organizations, childrens ride organizations and women's rights, ah . one of my son fell on his own father, was martyred in 2003 by us troops. 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, they shot him later, they admitted they made a mistake when they killed him. only when we're 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

while other foreign citizens, not only iraqis are taken to encounter last of all. the iraqi blood is worthless for them. americans only have brought harm to us. things have been getting worse and worse since the invasion, and we do not see any improvement. 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 and we do not expect them to a simpler mafia on the invasion of iraq is led to the destruction and fragmentation of iraqis society americans destroyed our national unity. we all saw the crimes perpetrated by the u. s. troops and the black bought a contract as 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 us. we will be bringing you more special coverage,

including eye witness accounts and revelations as we edge closer to the 20th anniversary on the us led invasion. and you can always visit our website, r t dot com for more on the iraq war. and it's tragic legacy. ha ah ah! with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15th century, there appeared atlantic slave dre. the slave traders from european countries started building forts on the western coast of the african continent to transport

the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had played the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people trade practiced by the leading european countries took away tens of millions of african lives. the organisation of united

nations classifies that trans atlantic slave trade as one of the gravest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind. ah, ah. some of the largest mining companies in africa be a key bulletin, anglo american, extra and beric. these american australian and european own companies. so they pockets to the tune of an estimate for the $335000000.00 us dollars each year. they exploits africa and africans who largely untouched mineral resources. hello and welcome to this week's african. now.
