no error, no american job, why i didn't for prioritizing weapons shipments to ukraine. i've been having problems on the front portion seems accused or failing could deal with a string, poke thick, chemical, accidental across the country. i honestly feel that the palestinian, 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 those straight answers. either. mosca recovers 101 russian prison or from ukrainian captivity. the country's defense ministry reports they were in to where even danger, also this out with

to pull myself with all these fakes with a format and then maybe in minnesota who support the little things to make germany pay reparations. but it's colonial era genocide, with a very welcome you're watching on t international with the latest world news update is good to have you with us. now in the united states, a train carrying hazardous materials has to route in michigan. just as dow is off to a different chemical emergency was sparks in florida of fire, barren gulf. the plastics warehouse and quickly spread across several acres of land, forcing a nearby nursery to evacuate. authorities say, a propane tank explosion likely cause the blaze in an area where thousands of plastic pots were kept. dozens of fine, fine says,
8:02 pm
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 train carrying toxic chemicals derailed and spoke his cargo in ohio. the environmental disaster sparked mass. the outrage online with some critic suggesting washington should be focusing more on 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 you crate 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, ohio. perhaps they should consider changing the name of their town to ukraine if
8:03 pm
they want to bite and regime to pay better attention. train derailment in ohio while another $10000000000.00 goes to military contractors for ukraine. money wandering. a government's handling of disaster in ohio has also spoke some internet names with some criticising bill forties 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 is that recently flew across the us or the ohio incidents caused the release of large amounts of faustine gas into the soil, and it's a compound, previously used in chemical warfare. 5 days off the train crash spilled, the chemicals officials decided to set them on fire to stop the toxins from spreading any further on the grounds, the states governor lay to said it was safe for residence to return to their homes . the locals fit, they're not being told the whole truth about the chemical threats here. i thought i
8:04 pm
was 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 where 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 was just answers. i honestly feel that the policy in the, 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 home, the thing the fight in government has its priorities straight right now. ringback
8:05 pm
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 b 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 you 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 that government should be doing to stop this from happening again? well, it's very difficult because once you've neglected to invest in your infrastructure
8:06 pm
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 spines of people who are happy with a high morale. do you think that the situation with these industrial disasters
8:07 pm
addressing 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 in texas, the trains v railing and admitting that what we need is an overall change of everything. perhaps we shouldn't be spending a $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 who they say they really worried that it still might not be safe for them to return home despite them being told it said save 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, i don't. they seem not to think they're being told the whole truth. there's been very
8:08 pm
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 appreciate your time to answer an independent candidate for us senate in new york
8:09 pm
state. aah! and other developments moscow. phase $101.00 russian military prisoners have returned from ukrainian captivity in the latest bill with kiev marcia's defense ministry say that service one has faced multiple danger and captivity. ukraine don't find the exact same number of its people that released russian soldiers. and now being taken from low sco, well received medical and psychological evaluation and any necessary treatment is the 2nd such 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 post city of 7 stapo. there's been no information on any damage or casualties. this comes with ukraine. authorities have confirms that multiple strikes have hit several of the countries regions, at least one attack on energy infrastructure facilities took place in the western
8:10 pm
city of the valve. meanwhile, a video has a paid online, allegedly showing schools of dead soldiers being prepared to be sent back to the ukrainians sign a warning for you. now you might find the following images distressing the, and verify the images appear to show rows of soldiers lying in 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 also 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 advance in the area, the head to all long. well, 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 committed in a country doing its colonial era african say in agreement previously reached
8:11 pm
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, says it has already taken accountability for its history and admits to be heretic events. in 2021, germany pledge to invest and develop the country which would be paid on a voluntary basis for some namibian local. say that simply not enough. ah.
8:12 pm
a former namibian deputy minister of lands told us that germany, the atrocities on african soil must not be forgotten. and berlin must be legal accountability by providing direct compensation. jeremy's ceo of udall dead. now he's giving military 82325, russia. germany must constantly be reminded of the atrocities that he has completed on the efficacy. and specifically in default form a soft was african home of india. and that must take the legal responsibility into it and heckled nice and compensate a little communities. death must very good, gemini,
8:13 pm
must constantly reminded of a speed test the government will sold as the sentence with government was never in willing to so in us us to, to, to, to pipe and demand 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. that's in response to journalists, the grilling b biden. administration and congress about the revelations published by journalist seymour hersh. he said, washington plans to expose sets on the pipelines last june. these blast did not occur on us soil. i would leave it to our partners on whose territory,
8:14 pm
on whose soil as it were on these plastic or to 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 ed 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 net 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 . s. that don't directly involve it heart now, none of its business. that's
8:15 pm
a new one. and americans aren't the only ones asking some questions. german politicians are wondering why they're so much silence around the issue from berlin . so on with him, 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 attacked the gas pipelines in the baltic sea. this is the most serious terrorist attack against critical infrastructure since world war 2 had your deafening silence. expose us, you buy you. now remember, the german chancellor, olaf schultz was standing at 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 source of energy and souls just stood there saying nothing. iron of use daydreaming,
8:16 pm
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,
8:17 pm
yet they blow up lots of infrastructure over time. i try to keep it to hidden. but it was hard to keep this one hidden because the united states was basically the only country with the motive. the 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 mom might not. where they, where they couldn't, shouldn't been there supposed to be
8:18 pm
a so called independent commission involving journey 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 her, she's in hirsch's report or 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 nord stream pipeline blasts. d'orsay is washington wasn't hiding its intentions and aunties, the same methods it employed in a raw can syria,
8:19 pm
where you can watch the full interview. this saturday heron r 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 people could look up on his interview on going underground on our rumble channel. you, you said there was a back to, for sabotage that somehow her, 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 debate and said there was a deliberate act of 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 and you find exactly what happened. isn't that the problem? people think you're a boot in papa, if you're the one spreading out russian. this information here, joe biden himself said they were going to stop the north st pipeline. i didn't make that up, he said, and now sigh, hers is revealed exactly in
8:20 pm
a detailed way exactly how they did it. we all knew they did it. russia, that's a cash cow 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 were called us it out. you recall apologise for saddam was saying they're doing this. it's the same thing over and over. if i oppose the libyan war, they said the same thing about the syrian war. they called me in the scientist. i was right about the gas attacks. i was right about libya. i was right about iraq. 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 change of silence in the last century. london say that regrets the tragedies but rejects the organization's
8:21 pm
characterization of events you case to they committed a napoleon colonial crime, treat an alter your sans as a people without rights. the u. k and the u. s. who together expelled that, she goes hence from their homes, should provide full reparations for the harb coast. we respect to work, human rights watch 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 that i go see ends with forced by the british government to leave that land and the 1960 s and seventies to make room for building us based diego garcia. indigenous population was supposed to be malicious and the se, shells facing object policy and having ever since been fighting to return home. well we heard from livia, bianco be

8:23 pm
leaving us. i will say that that we had a question about the medication, about the hiring, about getting nothing had been done. it's time to let people read and need clearly when our best time for them to ration compensation for what for how long will be 7. see what was really he went off he international, we've been investigating the trials and tribulations. all that should go see and people you can watch on in depth report about the troubled islands nation on dedicated documentary tunnel, all t d. hey, the preview. dosa goose. said den by day to day loving piazza g e l v e. zine apple, apple. phoebe m u d l e i v
8:24 pm
god, yeah, deal. mossey ali. he opens up somebody up to which one job actually, johnny mona ans was open for us on a month. now hold on to well, the one that has somewhat easier. one point was b, b, and we did a lot deck little some policy ah,
8:25 pm
we can find plenty more documentaries discussion on debate on our website policy dot com. thank you for choosing us international with as for silver, so stored to live in them. thank you very much for sitting down with us. let's start with general questions. so russia is returning to africa, judging by its recent active engagement with african nations. do you think russia has serious intentions and this policy is going to be long term o roster. mo, let, that happens to the 1st. it's not entirely correct to say that russia is returning to africa, so has because it never really laugh at them. oh, the scale of its presence has changed. acor's, the policy pivot towards the west in the 19 ninety's made russia forget about its african friends and all that the ussr had done for them as life of it goes through
8:26 pm
and it did a lot. it help african nations achieve economic and financial dependence. it partnered with them built factory as an infrastructure is trained, staff, established scientific research centers. then russia literally abandoned. almost all of it is something it didn't need to thump. in fact, we didn't get any financial, political or moral benefits from our activities in africa. actually, that was a big mistake, and now we're starting to realize it. it's a slow process shift. we've had our doubts and made a few stops along the way. and i think the special military operation has now given a new impetus to russia's return to africa with cisco, it tore away the disguises, revealing our true friends and foes for their pass african nations that are still rather weak and not truly independent actors in today's system. of international relations weren't afraid to speak up against the economic sanctions,
8:27 pm
and stood firm in the face of immense pressure from the west. despite certain inconsistencies during the voting on some of the una anti russian resolution, though one of their behavior was exemplary, assist vulnerable, and why is that? as ye said, russia left africans behind in the 1990s shifting its focus to the west. so why do they still have worn feelings for russia? zealous? don't you see? lucy, russia left africa ending its presence on the continent, but everything it had done there remained in africa. the bed was, unlike colonizers, who drained its resources. we actually helped create african economies of the soviet union built over 300 major industrial enterprises. more than a 1000 infrastructure facilities and trained over 500000 qualified staff in africa . this means a lot of african speak russian and understand our mentality and culture. they're
8:28 pm
grateful because they remember what the soviet union did to help them achieve both political and economic sovereignty of the bike and the current situation around the special military operations has shown them that the same methods of colonial oppression, once utilized against africa, are being used today. against russia, he may not live at him in those up. but at the same time, western media and politicians accuse russia of neo colonial policies and attempts to extend its influence to africa. what can you say about that yet? well, simply, i'm not sure what you mean by russia's neo colonial policy only, but in that case, it should be the other way around. and i take the russian empire, for example, in it was the only empire where the periphery developed was more dynamically than the center of someone will. the same was true for the soviet union, but i see russia as the center of the ussr invested heavily in central asia, ukraine, and the baltic region. as a result,
8:29 pm
the living standards in these republics were higher than in soviet russia. you can talk all you want about new colonialism yet you can attach labels. but you need to understand that new colonialism is all about looting and exerting political pressure on this. can you tell me what countries russia has looted or subjected to political pressure that he has it robbed ukraine? you know, and of course, african nations look on know, see, it has given them loans and opportunities for economic development and real growth on the calling russia a neo colonial state. that is a typical case of label pinning an attempt to turn the situation on its head a of a look. and why does this narrative even exist? why to western media? keep saying this about russia and africa. look at them just as of the international media and media coverage in general. and we are largely controlled by the west. and most of the information worldwide is concentrated there at least online. and it's a powerful tool to control the public. got us indeed an event is virtually
8:30 pm
nonexistent to day. if it doesn't show up on line. it was not like that before. as you know, previously information was secondary to reality. and now it's all vice versa. as much that's why the importance of information grows infinitely. so if we want a strong partnership with africa, we need to take the 2 factors into account a lawyer in 1st, we africa gets younger. most of its information, including on russia, from western sources, were lagging behind in that department. i know that r t and many other russian media are getting active in africa. it's still, it's not enough of the 2nd. we need to be able to offer true information about the reality of africa in russia. so many russians still have an image of africa as described in carnita. sikowski is poets, while old and full of exotic threats, conflicts, wars, and poverty. don't get me wrong.
