oh, no american sam job why didn't for prioritizing weapons shipments to ukraine or the testing problems on the home front as washington accused or failing to deal with a string to poke fit chemical accidental across the country? i honestly feel that the palace in the police department, the fire department, all the 1st responders, they don't have the answers to give us because i don't think they know they're not getting the straight answers either. moscow recovers 100 in one russian prison or from ukrainian captivity. the country's defense ministry reports they were in to waive the danger also this out
5:01 pm

5:02 pm
plastic pots were kept. dozens of fire fighters were deployed to tackle the flames . no casualties or injured in injuries have been reported. is the 5th major industrial related emergency in the us just this month alone. 2 weeks ago, a trainer carrying toxic chemicals the railed and spilled his cargo in ohio. the environmental design to sponsor mass. the outrage on line with some critic suggesting washington should be focusing more on a domestic problems instead of foreign policy goals, like donating money to ukraine. i don't want to see ukraine flags in ohio anymore. the government gave ukraine money for weapons instead of using it to fix or train tracks and trains. now we have one of the worst disasters in the history of our country. reporter on the ground in east palestine says the entire town smells like chemicals. instead of sending the next 1000000000 to ukraine, we should send it to ohio. it's been nearly 2 weeks, and mayor pete has yet to go to east palestine,
5:03 pm
ohio. perhaps they should consider changing the name of their town to ukraine if they want to buy the regime to pay better attention. train derailment in ohio while another $10000000000.00 goes to military contractors for ukraine. money laundering, a government handling of disaster in ohio has also spoke some internet means, with some criticizing the authorities for intentionally burning up the talk thing. spill, and others even suggesting that joe biden isn't doing his job because he's been abducted by one of the u. f. o, that recently flew across the us or the higher incidents cause the release of large amounts of full steam gas into the oil. and if the compound previously used in chemical warfare, 5 days off the train crash still mechanical's officials decided to set them on fire to stop the talks in from spreading any further on the grounds. the states governor later said it was safe for residence to return to their homes, but locals fit, they're not being told the whole truth about the chemical here i thought i was
5:04 pm
getting any answers. then i got hopeful that i was going to get it. but i feel like it was just a big run around. like i feel like a lot of the questions that were asked for people's rantings and just speaking in circles, the answers that were given were things that we've already been told. we all just want answers. i think that's what everybody here wants is just answers. i honestly feel that the policy in the police department, the fire department, all the 1st responders, they don't have the answers to give us because i don't think they know they're not getting the straight answers either. that's not discuss these developments with diane set an independent candidate for us senate in new york state. many thanks for joining goes on the program. now diane, many americans seem to be criticizing washington for focusing too much on issues like delivering financial and legal aid to ukraine. while such disasters happening
5:05 pm
home, the thing, the fight and government has its priorities straight right now. well, i think their priorities are pretty uniform, which is to destroy everything. we're not really helping ukraine, the more weapons we stand, the more ukrainian di. and we're not really helping the american people with this collapse this derailment was the 8 in the pittsburgh. oh hi. oh region and a 5 year period. 8 serious derailments. there was another train with chemicals on board that derailed just a few weeks earlier in louisiana. so this is, it's a horror and it demonstrates a complete lack of concern for the principle of the general welfare as enshrined in our constitution. like things in the space of these instance in the last few weeks . what do you see is the main causes of these disasters and what do you think the government should be doing to stop this from happening again?
5:06 pm
well, it's very difficult because once you neglected to invest in your infrastructure so long, it's like you don't do an oil change in your car for many years at a certain point. everything just stops. so it's very hard to know if this is just the case of breakdown because we haven't invested if there is deliberate sabotaged to play people psychologically. is that in some cases i don't know. i think you can't rule that out. unfortunately, we have a government which has lost the mandate of the people. i and our news media as well . i think many people in the united states are feeling betrayed. they are suffering, we have a very high suicide rate, very high drug overdose rate. these are not signs of people who are happy with a high morale. do you think that the situation with these industrial disasters
5:07 pm
getting enough coverage in the us media and does that coverage look fair to, you know, it's not really being covered and if it is covered, they try to portray it as an isolated incident, as opposed to taking the thing as a whole, like the floods in california, the droughts and texas, the trains v railing and admitting that what we need is an overall change of everything. perhaps we shouldn't be spending $100000000000.00 for weapons and a to you crane. what would $100000000000.00 do for infrastructure in the united states? we certainly could use that a higher like what would they say? they really worried that it still might not be safe for them to return home. despite them being told it said safe to do so. it comes to stay is off to be toxic trade incident. do you think that people are being told the whole truth about the situation? no,
5:08 pm
i don't. they seem not to think they're being told the whole truth. there's been very little straight or comprehensive coverage in the press. we know that there was just a rail strike over safety issues where they're trying to reduce the number of engineers on a train to only one which is unbelievable to is already low. and then we had people arguing that the engineers should have no sick leave and they finally got some kind of negotiation, which is not really adequate. but i think people are aware of that. so i think people have a clear sense including the employees of the these railroad companies that the truth is not being told and they are not being treated fairly. and do you expect anyone to be held accountable for all of these incidents? well, we'll see. maybe we should start by holding people accountable for whatever happened with the north stream pipeline. thank you for joining us on the program. really
5:09 pm
appreciate your time to answer an independent candidate for us senate in new york state and other developments moscow. phase 101 russian military prisoners have returned from ukrainian captivity in the latest. we'll deal with kenneth marshes. defense ministry say that service men had faith, mosul, danger and captivity ukraine gone back to be exact same number of people that released russian soldiers. and now being taken from low sco, well received medical and psychological evaluation and any necessary treatment is a 2nd search prisoner for this month. the previous one was mediated by the united arab emirates. meanwhile, officials in russia's crimea, as a local defense systems have shot down to ukrainian drones over the sea, close to the port city of 7 stapo. there's been no information on any damage or casualties. this comes with ukrainian authorities have confronted multiple last strikes, have hit several of the countries regions,
5:10 pm
at least one attack on energy infrastructure facilities took place in the western city of la valls. meanwhile, a video has a paid online, allegedly showing schools of dead soldiers being prepared to be sent back to the ukrainian side. a warning for you. now you might find the following image is distressing. the and verify the image is a paid to show rows of soldiers lying and wooden coffins filling the building. there's no information on where or when this video was recorded. however, it comes as a situation for the cranium. army continues to deteriorate in the embattled city of austin mosque, also known as back moot multiple report. se ukrainian forces are preparing to retreat from the region as fighters from the russian volcanic group advanced in the area the head of the block. now you have any progression safe, the city could be surrounded in the coming months. ah, in africa namibian genocide, descendants are calling on germany to pay reparations for the crimes berlin.
5:11 pm
committed in the country during gets colonial era african say in agreement previously reached between the 2 nations is not legally sound according to a new lawsuit. the namibian government had no right to accept the deal which offers no direct compensation to the descendants of the victims. berlin, however, say that has already taken accountability for its history and admits to the horrific events. in 2021. germany pledged to invest and develop the country which would be paid on a voluntary basis for some namibian local say that simply not enough. ah.
5:12 pm
a former namibian deputy minister of lands told us that germany's atrocities on african soil must not be forgotten, and berlin must be legal accountability by providing direct compensation. gentlemen, is this seal feudal, now he's given the 8 to 3 to 5, russia gemini, must constantly be reminded of the atrocities that he has committed on the african slate, and specifically into full form of software, suffolk, and home review. and that must take the legal responsibility into it and recognize and compensate. no mind over communities. death must
5:13 pm
very good. gemini, must constantly reminded of the atrocities because the government really told se this sentence, a big company that was never really sold in assist us to, to, to, to private and do money from the gym government regulations. washington is refusing to investigate allegations that it's navy bombed russians. nord stream gas pipelines, to germany, u. s. officials say it's not their business to probe an incident that happened far away from american territory, as it responds to journalists, a grilling the bind administration, and congress about the revelations published by journalist seymour hersh. he said, washington plans to expose steps on the pipelines last june. these blast did not
5:14 pm
occur on us soil. i would leave it to our partners on whose territory, on whose soil as it were on these plastic heard speak to the appropriate investigator mechanisms. and now the party line, as you've heard there, is that the nord stream explosion is a european matter and has nothing to do with america. by the way, the same state department spokesman there and, and price was already tweeting way back in march of 2021. so 2 years ago that quote, the nord stream to pipeline is a russian geopolitical project intended to divide europe and weaken european energy security. it's a bad deal for all involved. so and that price sure had a lot to say about nord stream back then, but now that it's been blown up and it's no longer a concern to washington apparently. and by the way, since when did washington adopt the position that events happening outside of the u
5:15 pm
. s. that don't directly involve it, park now and out of its business. that's a new one. and americans are the only ones asking some questions. german politicians are wondering why there's so much silence around the issue from berlin . so under them, loosened you missouri bus to clarify attacks on the north stream pipeline that you do not consider importing. we just heard that for almost half a year, we have been asking the same question over and over again here in parliament during the government interrogation someone else who aside the gas pipelines in the baltic sea. this is the most serious terrorist attack against critical infrastructure. since world war 2, your deaf on in silence. expose us you by you. now remember that german chancellor, all of schultz was standing in a podium right beside us, president joe biden on february 7th, 2022. when biden said that if russia goes into ukraine, washington will put an end to nord stream. biden was talking about germany's main
5:16 pm
source of energy and shoals. just stood there saying nothing. iron of use daydreaming, or just admiring that the core. but that's kind of an interesting question. why didn't you say something about that? and hers is reporting alleges that schultz was on the same wavelength as washington and biden, despite being initially, quote wobbly about germany's economic. busy life blood and europe's economic engine. so before even the conflict in ukraine popped off, that was an issue. and jeffrey sachs, a prominent american economist now a professor at colombian iep columbia university. sax is, again speaking out, calling hirsch's account of the nordstrom explosions. pretty much a no brainer. frankly, it's been obvious from the start. this was not an easy operation to carry out. it's the kind of operation that the, the cia and other a covert parts of the u. s. government do carry out rather routinely by the way.
5:17 pm
yeah. they blow up lots of infrastructure over time. i try to keep it to him. but it was hard to keep this one hidden because the united states was basically the only country with the motive. that means and rather remarkably having announced beforehand that the intention was to end nord stream. yeah. and also go figure that the 2 nations accused of the nord stream, sabotaged in hurst, his report, the u. s. and norway also just happened to be the 2 countries that have now replaced russian gas sales to europe. and our caching. in big time, her said that norway helped washington to find the right place for these c 4 explosives along its coast and also ran interference with neighboring sweden and denmark. so they wouldn't get suspicious if they happen to spot some divers where a my might not. where they were, they couldn't send it,
5:18 pm
then they're supposed to be a so called independent commission involving germany, sweden and denmark into this whole affair. but they all seem to just want to move on, like there's nothing to see here. and it's really conspicuous silence. and, you know, should those who have kind of developed an o mertsa around all this who don't really want to talk about it really be the ones to be doing an investigation. normally when, when a, our country or a person or whatever is implicated in something, whether it's hirsch's in hirsch's report, otherwise, normally they are the ones overseeing the investigation. and the latest episode of ours, he's going underground option returns. he speaks with american comedian and political commentator jimmy do on a number of subjects, including the new wood stream pipeline blasts. don't say it's washington wasn't hiding its intentions and until the same methods it employed in
5:19 pm
a raw can syria. we can watch the full interview this saturday here on our t, his a sneak peak just on nord stream, sy hersh, the great reporter who exposed the my lai massacre, the abu ghraib. so many different stories. we were going to look up on his interview on going underground on our rumble channel. you, you said there was a back to, for sabotage. that's about it. you agree with hersh biden was very clear about the north stream pipeline. the energy reserves for the european union, the word destroyed, and i should say, mainstream nato media claimed it could be russia destroying their own pipeline. de biden said, there was a deliberate act to sabotage the russians are pumping out disinformation lies. and at the appropriate moment, when things calm down, we are going to be sending divers down to find exactly what happened. isn't that the problem? people think you're a putin puppet. you're the one spreading out russian. this information here. oh jill. bind himself said they were going to stop in or street pipeline. i didn't
5:20 pm
make that up. he said, and now sigh, hers is revealed exactly in a detailed way exactly how they did it. we all knew they did it. russia, that's a cash. how for russia that pipeline, why would they blow up their own cash cow? of course it makes no sense. and of course, you know, i'm old enough to remember the iraq war, and that was sold to you, american people on a pack of lies. and anybody who pushed up against it and said that saddam hussein was not a threat to the united states. saddam hussein didn't do 911. and saddam hussein doesn't have any weapons of mass destruction you or call us at our do you recall a pod all just for saddam hussein? they're doing this. it's the same thing over and over. we fire polls the libyan war . they said the same thing about a syrian war, they called me in the scientist. i was right about the gas attacks. i was right about libya. i was right about a rack. and of course, it's not. he doesn't take a genius to see what's going on. human rights watch is the case the us and the u. k. of committing colonial crimes against humanity on the chic uh silence in the
5:21 pm
last century. london say that regrets the tragedies but rejects the organization's characterization of events the you case to they committed a napoleon colonial crime, treat an alter your sense as a people without rights the u. k. and the u. s. who together expelled that you go, sans from their homes should provide full reparations for the harbor. the hep coast we respect the work human rights watch it is around the world. but we categorically reject this characterization of events. on wednesday human rights war to issued a report demanding reparations for the people at the chunk us islands from the u. k . and the wes, well the 1000 to go see ends with forced by the british government to leave that land in the 1960 s and seventies to make room for building us based. diego garcia, indigenous population was 40 malicious and the se, shells facing objects policy and having ever since been fighting to return home. we

5:28 pm
why is the price of diamonds and other precious gems rising at such an astronomical rate? precious gems have increased in value by 5 to 8 per cent every single year since 1995. i'm christiane, you're watching the cost of everything. we're today. we're going to bring some clarity to the often misunderstood diamonds and colored gems. market ah, diamonds have been coveted and admired for thousands of years for their beauty. they were formed billions of years ago and are so rare because so few are able to survive the difficult journey from the pits of the earth to reach the earth's surface from the diamonds that are being mind today, only about 20 percent or higher of quality to be sold on the diamond market as jewelry. but while diamonds are rare,
5:29 pm
they aren't as well as you think. throughout the 19th century de beers maintained a monopoly on the global diamonds mines. the cartel with stock paula diamonds, limit supply and drive on demand and costs. and it would only release enough diamonds to meet annual demand, giving the market the allusion that diamonds were exceedingly rare. but why is the diamond so expensive? perhaps it has to do with the amount of work it takes to mine. a diamond diamond mining operates some of the most resource intensive activities. consuming large amounts of water and energy. you 1st have to mind the diamond and extract it from its or about a 133000000 carrots. a rough diamonds are produced each year with botswana and russia being the largest producers. between them, they have half the world's production. and for diamond producers control about 65 percent of the market. to be years, the russian producer, al rosa,
5:30 pm
and diversified mining companies, b. h. p, and rio 10 toe. large, commercially viable diamond mines are a rarity. and today, there are only about 20 major diamond mines in the world, and only 11 of them make up 62 percent of the world's production by carrot and no matter how big the mine is, you have to move a lot of rock to get a very small number of diamonds and even the riches mine, one ton of rock contains only about 1.4 carrots of rough diamonds. now that's less than point 3 grams. on average a producer cells rough diamonds for a $134.00, a carrot, giving it a profit margin of 20 to 24 percent. the minor then has to sort and sell them as to regrade diamonds or industrial grade diamonds. cutters and polishes are next to by rough diamonds from the producers and cut them appropriately and polish them to release.
