james, whatever you do, don't watch my show stay mainstream, because i'm probably gonna make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, but we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think. ah, the president of the united states would rather like germany fries than allow it to stop supporting you praying that's according to award winning american journalist seymour hersh for earlier reveal the u. s. a lot of law of the north stream gas pipeline, the white house, or just citizens not to panic over recent you f o incidence, as is peria over the possible alien origin of the mysterious object. virals in the us. take a closer look at what's really behind the story. ohio governor called on congress to investigate a trained derailment that triggered

a toxic disaster in the area for both wild life and to local resident. and the b, b. c in india is reportedly accused of tax evasion. as massive raids on the network offices continue and new delhi with good morning from r t international studios in moscow, and welcome to the hours most vital news stories from across the globe. i'm fiorella is about us president joe biden. let germans freeze this winter for the sake of ukraine. that's according to american award winning journalist seymour hersh, who shed light on the mystery of the north trimmed gas pipeline, sabotaged uncovering the u. s. role in the attack. it scares me that the president was ready for such a thing. and the people who carried out this mission believed that the president was well aware of what he was doing to the people of germany. the point is that

vied and decided to let the germans freeze this winter. the president of the united states would rather le germany fries than let it stop supporting ukraine. and to me, this is a devastating thing for this white house. in his interview with a german newspaper, seymour hersh also addressed the issue of the source behind the bombshell revelations, saying the identity of his whistle blower could not be revealed due to security concerns, insisting all facts are thoroughly checked by his team. just a week ago, seymour hersh reported that top u. s. officials planned to blow up the gas pipeline since late 2021. when the attack happened last september, nato drills in the baltic sea were used as a cover. the bombshell report also says that norway, help the u. s. in the sabotage oslo however, is trying to divert blame, accusing russia of spying on the nordic countries energy infrastructure. 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 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 sabotaging and strategic targets in norway will become a more likely scenario. in the current security policies situation, police security service considers the petroleum sector to be a particularly vulnerable target. however, the rust, sabotage of russian gas pipelines seems to have played into all blows, hands. russian energy exports to the e. you have plummeted, allowing norway to become europe's largest supplier in 2022. the nordic nations tax revenue from oil and gas sales increase. 3 fold compared to the previous year, also sites its role in europe's energy security. as the reason why russia could

allegedly try to spy on the country, norway's former prime minister jen stilton berg, who now leads nato, has vowed to increase infrastructure security on the c bed of the alliance. allies will also and start to discuss the, the new defense investment pledge protection of critical infrastructure in particular undersea infrastructure or for infrastructure. just because we have seen that. so these are the c o cables. pipelines are vulnerable on. it's important that we coordinate more our efforts to protect a critical infrastructure. we spoke with german politician and european parliament member gunner back who said countries like germany and norway are simply not keen on exposing the truth behind the nord stream. bombings, as the hearse report, revelations, are an embarrassment for 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, may have carried out an investigation, but they keep quiet about it. the norwegians that, according to mr. hersh ah, were 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. practically every one 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 em are far from convinced by the official view, mister hurst revelations, ah, and 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 a institution in the world to press them to admit it. but the shocking revelations were not the ones to make waves, the newest media. instead, the news of unidentified objects and us airspace caused a major stir with outlets even speculating over an alien invasion. the white house spokesperson was forced to call for com, as journalists demanded answers on the recent incidents with mysterious objects

shot down over us and canada. do want to make sure that the americans, american, people understand that there's no need to panic. the president took this action as i mentioned earlier because of the objects were indeed flying at lower elevation and they were in civilian aerospace. and we wanted to make sure that we protected that airspace, but again, i, you know, we want to also make sure that the americans are not, do not panic during this time. that's after multiple media outlets hyped up theories about a suppose it alien invasion and recent days. but do they come in peace? that's what many americans are now asking after washington stud, it's military has now shot down 3 mysterious flying objects of unknown origin. are t, steve sweeney investigates whether the whole story might actually be a distraction for something far more down to earth. america has turned into

a real life version of the x files, seeming to be in the 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 invasion. 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 a blast any object sees as a potential threat, but the timing has arouse suspicion coming soon off to pulitzer prize. winning journalist seymour hersh, alleged that u. s. blew up the new old stream to pipeline a form. a 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 law nord stream until next time. and the developments have 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 like to 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 artifacts and the you a piece hush has predictably been dismissed as a crank on the story of fantasy, but he is just that latest evidence. the points, 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 the border of ukraine again, then no, there will be we, there will be no longer

a nor stream to like here 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 sea during the 19 fifties and 19 fifties. in spite of you, if i was, was spotted over the u. s. leading to conspiracy theories about an eminent invasion . roswell became a haven for conspiracy theories and crimes. convinced the 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 at 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 capable

assumption that those things being landed in the jersey family tonight. 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 admitted to planting fake stories to make people believe that they were you f o's. over half of all u. f. o reports from the late 1900 fifties, through 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 allay public fears, and to protect an extraordinarily sensitive national security project. 12, and this claims that the latest you focus guy is a cycle and softening of public support for increased military spending as part of a new cold war against china and russia. the u. f. o stories all over corporate media are being pushed heavily by the u. s. 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 fix problem of the u. s. military in december 2019. in other words, spying. but now the focus has pivoted to china. washington's new global rival, similar tactics are being deployed to scan the public and convince 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 threats to democracy and freedom worldwide. since world war 2 is also gaining traction amongst gung ho republicans who have long baited us and joe biden. i'm the democrat. so been

a week 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, you oppose 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 analysts line all says it's all too easy for washington to use sensationalist stories as a smokescreen. mench loved to divert and confuse. and here we have big tac. 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 not it 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?

a bolona is not an alien craft. my god, what are we talking about? but then the other day, somebody used the term you 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 bating 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. the governor of ohio has urged congress to look into the consequences of a trained derailment in early february. the carriages contain toxic substances

which spelled out and were set on fire in a controlled burn by emergency services. and locals are now reporting wildlife falling sake and dying and mass with concerns. also emerging about the safety of drinking water for residence in the area. art is caleb mop and reports corpses of animals are being seen and the deadly chemicals that came from this serious terrain derailment and east palestine. ohio that's right near the border with pennsylvania . they are pretty disturbing. look at now from what we understand. there were more deadly chemicals on the train derailed than the citizens were originally told, and that is raising a lot of questions. so we now have a situation where the environmental protection agency of the united states is admitting that some of these deadly chemicals did get into the water and into the, the water that people in the area drink. they say, however,

it is safe to consume the water, but there's been quite an extreme reaction to this very big crash that happened with a lot of deadly chemicals. going out into the environment, into the local forests in the local farm land. you know, that even look at that, the big explosions that happened. there's been some of the reaction to this extreme event. we basically moved to town with chemicals, so we can get a railroad open. we're being told that things are safe, but it's just deep down. you feel like, you know, how can things already be back at a level where he would be back to normal? i definitely have a right to know what was on that train. you know, to see that manifest to know what chemicals are in the creek. and also how much i've got a lot of concerns for the impact of the people locally what it's going to look like . not only now, but in the future. $4500000.00 tons of deadly and toxic chemicals are transported

by rail across the united states each year. and they're generally transported by rail because rail is considered to be safer, largely then transporting them by car. there's far more car accidents. that is the concern there already been a dozen reported racks and rail racks this year so far. i mean it's only february. i mean i already had 12 similar derailments. none of them as big of a catastrophe as this one was. but we've had some similar derailments, this is a serious cause for concern. now, when we listen to what's being said by the rail workers unions, they are blaming the fact that they have been understaffed. that they have stripped down the employment of rail workers and wall street corporations that all these rail firms are doing. all they can to employees view workers as possible, and that's resulting in less safe condition. there is still concerns about inaccurate information about the safety of residents, about the images of dead wild life that we're seeing about what chemicals were put

into the air, and what chemicals are people being exposed to as opposed to what was originally said when the derailment 1st happen, so there's a lot of concerns here as we look at the fall out and the b b as in india has found itself in hot water as local tax officials continue to conduct searches in their offices in new delhi overnight, reportedly as part of a tax evasion prob r t. wrong and sharma brings us the details as the officials stayed inside all the bbc offices all night and as the investigation of a calling e mail. so we still continue was it's been or 24 hours now at this stage, like i said, the calling gifts surveys no to read or such. but of course the thing that they've conducted is sylvie operation off to look at tax evasion. they're also looking into

financial regularities tax manipulation. now this comes a weeks off to a, b, b c. in fact had put on air that's contention document feed on the 2002, withdraw through the communal rides implicating prime minister in the movie who was the then chief minister of the drug. now remember, india had a band that document freeze from being ed also from all social media platforms. now the operation that has obviously been criticized by the opposition here in india. that's a force on the expected lines. but what the government to saying is that this is routine and this is just due process that they are following in the recent false. they've sent many notices to the b, c out of the b, b, c. have to respond to all that. now b, b, c itself and the statement has said that it is in fact out, cooperating with the taxes fees while they conduct this. so we are both in new

delhi as well as in the moonlight offices, a, b, b, c. now remember, b, b, c, or fleet have been involved in a number of corruption scandals that is losing get funds and credibility boards at the very, very foss read now releases to handle remember, involves a chip person richard shop. in fact, it says that he had in some quick pro cool, all sort of ross we, he helped of the former prime minister. all of you gave boys johnson to get a loan. and in return of that, he had secured off the position of a, b, b, c, chair, richard, chirps decisions. firstly, to become involved in the facilitation of a loan to the then prime minister. while at the same time applying for jobs that was in that same person's gift and then to fail to disclose this material relationship were significant errors of judgment,

which undermine confidence in the public appointments process, and could deter qualified individuals from applying for such post. well, in deal fully supports press feed him media freedom, but it also believes that nobody, no brought costa can be above the law of the land. now schools, this is a developing stories, as i pointed out, the celsius of still on, in both daily and will by offices over b, b, c. of course, we will keep a track of this story and we're going to keep updating of you as, as, and when more information comes russian oil industry production rebounded in 2022. as russian companies conducted more drilling in their oil fields last year than in more than a decade showing resilience to western sanctions. according to bloomberg data, the number of oil wells opened under the anti russian sanctions regime has increased by around 70 percent,

bringing the total number to over $7800.00 as major oil companies beat their records last year. the media outlet also says there's growth in rushes, oil processing, and storage capacities. this comes as the countries prime minister says oil extraction in 2022 amounted to $535000000.00 tons showing a 2 percent increased compared to the previous year. this comes after you politicians plain that russia has been forced to cut its fruit production as sanctions over its actions in ukraine. cut the country off, crucial technology and western energy markets. the g 7 countries also adopted a price cap to curb the energy price growth and reduce moscow's revenues. we heard from benjamin child, professor at the paris school of technology and business, who says that russia's asian partners can relieve the same sense of fact. well, as we have seen,

russian companies did the most drilling at their oilfields in more than a decade. last year. several factors have contributed to this rushing companies and track pro and contractors if they need high tech services and equipment. but such things on general on needed to keep the oil flowing from as published fields. except when there is a breakdown of equipment that needs replacement. yet these problems are we saw largely thanks to the impulse, true intermediaries in friendly states or by finding alternative suppliers in asia, passions, india. besides china, a huge market for russian oil, china, and india to get to is 2800000000 people. and china, along there was the huge potential to grow to which a law could potentially more than couple that is currently supply to europe in 2000 . and i think 2021 russian troops have pushed back ukrainian forces by 3

kilometers, forcing a disordered lead retreats that's according to the russian defense ministry. a video published by the ministry shows russian troops inspecting positions, abandoned by ukrainian soldiers. official say, russian forces continue advances in the area as heavy fighting wages on the front lines. our teaching or shadow follows russian spotters using grounds to aid forces on the ground. military engineers spent decades on increasing the range of morton weapons mortars, howitzers, tanks, name, it have been tinkered with and modernized, so that they could hit the enemy deep from behind. the front lines, keeping the units safe from return fire. but in ukraine crews often simply can't take advantage of the power of their guns. a narrow road is pretty much all that divides this russian tank from ukraine's trenches.

ah, it's slight target practice and the sputter watching it all from a birds eye view doesn't hold back excitement our shore promotional unreasonable dash, except this is no shooting range from javelins to and lose any anti tank rocket launcher can reach the machine from such distance. this time they remain silent. instead, ukraine's artillery comes into play. ah, what was going on with it? that's the tank skew. it has overstayed, its welcome. in the forest outside criminal,

the main battle is taking place for the control of a key road that serves as a lifeline for the ukrainian garrison. so the key of command, they are clutching to it at all costs, no matter the course around the world, the fighting has already claimed it stool more than $7.00 actors of the woodland. he is vast, but most skirmishes erupt. an extremely close distance, more fitting over st. battle a few months ago, ukraine planned a large scale counter offensive on the spot to the front. no, it's busy holding its own defense lines. oh, my gosh. done of reporting from the dumbass. r t. a scathing report by you and experts, blames american sanctions against iran. for stopping the country's dallas see me of patience though suffering with the serious blood disorder from getting the medication they need all but condemning them to death. the lack of access to

medication has resulted in many more deaths since they were in possession of sanctions against iran, by the u. s. in 2018 over compliance with sanctions has escalated effecting the import of life saving iron, regulating medicines for iranian fallacy. me a patients this not only violates their right to health, but also results in increased complications and mortality rates. un experts also raised concerns that us sanctions on medicines have very vague acceptance which leads to breaches of international humanitarian law. iran has also repeatedly said american economic terrorism prevents many a life saving drugs from reaching iranian patients at the height of the coven, 19 pandemic. a u. n. affiliated body called for the easing of sanctions on iran. but instead, washington doubled down on its maximum pressure campaign against her on or on has

been under american sanctions since the revolution of 1979, which washington vehemently oppose. the 1st restrictions targeted that countries petroleum exports and frozen foreign bank assets. however, the last 4 decades have virtually seen all economic activity in iran penalized by the us making the most sanctioned country in the world. until last year. we spoke with us journalist john rowley, who says washington's action contradicts its freedom loving proclamation. this is a horrible atrocity. let's be very clear. this is a crime against humanity. the u. s. government was in bombing and shooting people. but it was taking measures that they knew washington very well know that these measures are killing people in large numbers. this is a crime against humanity with be very clear about this. there is no state of war between iran in the us. iran has not attacked the united states. ok with me very

clear by this and they're killing civilians. they are killing civilians. it's a contradiction of american policy, right? i thought americans about free trade. i said it was about human rights, but it's not. you see, when the interests of the american government are threatened, it will take unprecedented measures furious measures to punish washing does not care. this is a heartless, faithless, brutal bureaucracy. they only care about power and money. they do not care about people not at all. they don't care about their own people. and they're certainly not going to care about the, or any people. that's a rap on the hour's top stories and up next, catch the story on how australian troops allegedly killed 39 unarmed civilians, including children in afghanistan more than 10 years ago on our team, the whistle blowers posted by young korea. thanks for tuning and we'll see back at

the top of the hour with with . 2 2 0, the difficulty that national security whistleblowers face is not unique to the united states. other countries around the world treat their national security whistle blowers harshly. especially when those whistle blowers reveal evidence of war crimes. one of the best and most recent examples is from australia where david mcbride, a former australian army attorney, is facing criminal charges because of his.
