for me, it is time to move on and see what we tend to fall. the said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination. i commission african united michelle. don't care about christian people with more than 100, captain russian soldiers return from euclid in captivity. in the latest change of prisoners by moscow, i am please policies fleets. with that, russia is ambassador to india, an exclusive interview, in which he condemns native expansion to the east, saying it a direct threat to china, india and russia, stating its defensive nature, or nato chose of corpus infections. again and russia devolved an immediate international investigation into the summer. a us rugs often

revelations about his involvement with good welcome to international requesting a life from just the out. and it's great to have you with this. i'm not a mommy. let's take a look at the top stories this our well sir says a 101 russian murphy prisoners have returned from you, quitting captivity in the late to swap with cave roses. their friends, man, he says, is service one, had faith mortal danger in captivity. ukraine got back the exact same number of its captured soldiers. the release russian troops have been taken to moscow, where they'll receive medical. i'm a psychological evaluations and any necessary treatment is a 2nd such a prisoner swap this month. the previous one was mediated by the united arab emirates, all these, so they nunez reboot,

and you prisoner exchange round between russia and ukraine was conducted on thursday, bringing 101 brush and servicemen home russian air force plane with the former p o w 's on board lender at the airport here moscow from where they will be transported to a military hospital in the capitol for medical and psychological rehabilitation. the russian defense minister stated that these men were at risk of death while held captive in ukraine. after spending arguably the darkest hours over their life as p . o w in prisoner camps. they finally walk free. the feeling must be unbelievable. shirts of your sierra, my heart is beating, i'm glad that i'm finally at home on my land. at 1st i did not believe it, but then i had some kind of incomprehensible feeling as if i had fallen in love for the 1st time. so screw wallace when we were being held captive, they didn't explain anything to us, so i didn't really believe it. you never know where you'll be sent, but when i found out i was delighted. my whole family is happy,

every one is waiting for me at home. i promise to return, but we're going back home was that it was a she knew she, i have great feeling. so we returned to our homeland on it. we have been waiting for this moment for a long time. it finally happened when we kept up our hopes and believed that this day would come and it has come to day. you my, i have incredible emotions. i cannot believe this. now i want to go home, go fishing with my dad, see my family and celebrate all the holidays with them. one of the highest runtime us diplomats in washington under secretary of state, victoria newland has said hughes fools his are justified if they attack russia state infrastructure in crimea. ukraine is not going to be say in less crimea is at a minima. at a minimum, demilitarized, there are a mass military installations on crimea,

that russia has turned into essential logistics and back office depots for this. for those are legitimate targets. ukraine is heading them, and we are supporting that the survey you in assign crimea to you, great. in the 1950s, with a lot of the ethnic russian territory voted to join moscow in 2014, falling in 2 in q victorian newland supported the western assistance. lead crane has spot condemnation from the ministry of european parliament in the european parliament alongside criticism for ukrainian leaders. the men's, he's please for more weaponry. instead of sinking a piece to soleski has been making the rounds, begging for more weapons, one more to say about peace. how many of his own people was the conscript and feed into the carriage before he sits down to negotiations. and many of the people of

europe was lose their jobs and order homes before nato would allow these no graces negotiations to happen. lastly, what i'd like to know what has happened to germany, the june of europe just told us that would be no peace in russia. no peace in europe without russia forced to send helmets. no, you're certain times to kill russians have been numerous reports of ukrainians being violently detained on the fees and in their homes to be sent on the front lines. those kids forces have reportedly suffered massive losses in recent fighting in dom bus. we heard from him international attorney, klein, preston, who says the opposition in the parliament is unlikely to change the current situation. the western countries have ignored common sense and prudent thought in the support they've given to ukraine to this date. and i don't see this change

in now because of, you know, the current contract, conscription laws and practices in the ukraine. and when you look at the behavior, forget what zalinski sign. forget what the propagandists are saying in the west or, you know, on behalf of ukraine and just look at the facts. and when you say, you know, i've heard tale of conscription now 15 and 16 year old boys. people who are drafted in the service it go to the market to buy, you know, food and you know, people reinforce in the service. and it's reminiscent, frankly, for the last stage of the, of germany in 1945. when that, that country was failing and losing the war. the soviets were at berlin and already, and, you know, they were forcing young boys to fight an old man. and that's what you crane looks

like. on he had an exclusive interview with the russian ambassador to india in which he said that name to this function poses a direct threat to russian. i'm asian. pacific security is a preview. even worse, a full interview made to the south. nato's negative pro is evident, despite russia's objections, are, the block continued its expansion eastwards creating day that a direct threat to the russian security. stating its defensive nature or nato chose of offensive actions against russia. so similarly, if it's attempts to spread that sin fluence it to the asia pacific should not mislead anyone with russia and china as the 2 of vis adversary's.

there are less obvious targets as well, like the unity of the region at large. in our perception, it's going to divide, the region will drop a dies, it's unified agenda and equal an undivided security architecture. as a nation centered architecture, there will be more alienation lines and the instability. and it certainly doesn't suit the interests of any of the nations they are into the india and china. meanwhile, us president joe biden has insisted that the last 3 on identify the ag rav shut down over north american aerospace were probably civilian balloons, not related to china's espionage program. nothing right now suggest they were

related to chinese fire balloon program. or there were surveillance vehicles from other any other country intelligence committees. current assessment is that these 3 objects for most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions study whether or conducting other scientific research. also, the initial is it happened early. this was a supposed chinese liable in story made headlines in the american media. there was a lot of rhetoric about alleged threats coming from china, and it's then it's missions. turns out now it wasn't such a big deal as us officials, including joe by themself, have shrugged off the concerns. now there's been a

long as close live amount to radio and political commentator, steve bill c, great to have you on the show. now we see joe biden, 1st of choosing china. violet is now saying the most recent order for not related to the chinese why program. if you think about this a power, you turn, especially in the rhetoric from the u. s. as always, with president biden as administration, whatever they say today will be backtracked or explained the next day of the 1st with the chinese spy below. and i think there's no question that that's what it was . what is really disturbing to me is that our military are now saying that they were tracking this spy balloon. from the time it left south china let it go all the way across the pacific, up across alaska, through canada, down through the united states until it was finally shut down off the coast of our carolina's. why did our military not advise the civilian congress that has

oversight responsibility over the military, where the commander in chief and the civilian administration, has commanded control over the military. if they were tracking this balloon from the beginning, rather than the initial stories that they knew, nothing about it until it was 1st sighted over montana. you know, it's interesting because you've got a lot of us folks that are questioning whether president she of china has control over his military. whether this was sort of a rogue military operation to send despite the balloon. i think the bigger question is whether or not u. s. military is acting independently of the civilian authority of the white house and the congress because they seem to be doing whatever they're wanting to do and not telling anybody about it. and then with these smaller objects that have been shot down recently, the fact that the president of the ecology. yeah, there really weren't a threat. we really don't even know what they were. if an american soldier shot it's something that moves in the bushes without a command, without knowing what he was shooting at,

he'd be court martialed. and i think these are serious, serious problems with our military is conducting these operations with the, with the authorization of a white house. i see the main point is a choice chain of command. after all, i mean at the end of the day or you presume, biden so by themself does give the final go ahead. but do they should be hiding something from the public over was rudy graham? you know, i don't want to be one of those conspiracy theorist, although in the last couple of years, almost every one of those conspiracy theories has turned out to be true. but you've got the president focusing attention on these balloons. and these smaller area objects, getting them shot down and distracting from bigger issues like a trained rail. but in, in the united states in ohio, the release toxic gas that is deadly and our secretary of transportation, the buddha james, one of the code, rising stars in the democratic party hasn't even done anything about it, nor is the president really talked about it. you've got serious economic issues in

the country with inflation high in the present, denying that there's any real problems in the accounting of him for economy is somehow booming. and then of course, we've got our southern border that has been wide open to illegal immigration. we're seeing the same thing in europe. we're seeing the same thing in other parts of the world. but over 2000000 illegals have flooded into the us across the border. we had a fair price this, this drug that is literally killing a $100000.00 people in the united states or more a year. and yet nothing is being done by the administration to actually box that order down. so i think a lot of the things that they're having happen is to distract the american people and certainly the media from the real issues facing the country. and they said, i mean it's interesting to keep an eye on as well. so let's take a step back here and look at find us relations. try as it used the us of violating it's based job wasn't going to be winning any peace prizes soon. but doing,

i think, i mean, what do we think of the relations between, between the 2 countries over already? i think because joe biden's personal finances are so interconnected with china. it's one of the reasons that they've, they've been giving a pass to china for a lot of issues. confrontations in the last couple of months with, with the flight over taiwan with the threats about taiwan. i think the administration clearly wants to get things back on track with china because the president and his son and, and his family makes so much money from their a chinese business operations. you know, the static in united states right now is this is they have created the bogeyman of russia and the bungee man of china. and are trading enemies when we should be finding bridges of prosperity and friendship, and get past some of the, the rhetoric, some of the a separation that has occurred between the set world powers and find a way to get back on a common ground. and at least find ways to agree where we can disagree, where we have to, but compete and not confront. save gail is up until he knew so very well said and

need it is 50. thanks a lot for your time today. we'll see you again soon. no doubt. thanks again. my friend i this is on our south africa is mining industry has been struggling with corruption in the minutes of barry's and a lack of new exploration limiting it's development as odds. he's kind of in the top left reports. it is the bedrock on which modern day life in 1000 tip of africa is built 1st with a discovery of diamonds later, gold and then platinum mineral discovery has made johannesburg coating province crucial to south africa's economy. so much so that to this very day, john is big is still known as the city of gold. the mineral council of south africa

says that the industry's direct contribution to g. d. p grew by 36 percent in 2021 to nearly $27000000000.00. about $7000000000.00 more than it did in 2020. but despite these numbers, there are few for the future due to problems with exploration, to incredibly long term love that you need. and the fact that a long time, le, south africa has been short considerably because of the political uncertainty and policy uncertainty. the good of also the corruption that's involved in dealing with the whole biling, licensing and exploration. because if the factors, the ruling party wants to sit themselves in all the deals, that's made south africa, very unattractive place to actually expend buddy fleets flirtation for the purpose of money. they are 2 types of mineral exploration, brownfields,

and greenfield. brownfields exploration means the searching of additional deposits in know when or currently mine sites, while greenfields is about searching for new minerals. and that is where south africa's weak spot is. net investment in greenfield exploration is slowly shrinking. yet the department of minerals and energy is settled with thousands of i'm processed request for exploration, right? president drama was again called on mining companies to build schools, road clinics and provide electricity to communities where they operate as part of a social pay. but as we all know, money is like water, it flows in the path of least resistance makes you know,

that's the state job. that's why mining companies kicks so. so while you're loading up your mining companies with huge amounts of additional costs, they're going to say no, think you'd rather go somewhere else. it's more trick. kenny has the largest known reserves of lithium in the world. yet, australia is the minerals leading global supplier. if south africa was to reach his target of attracting 5 percent of the. busy worlds investment in mineral exploration spend. it will have to give incentive or soon it might be very little mining left in the south africa. got a lot of tea, and john ross is launching an appeal of the un urgent international investigation into some of the north park lines. but it's also a recent article by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh said the u. s.

bomb. the pipeline systems on orders from the by ministration. now the us says it's not going to conduct an investigation into those newly surface revelations. these blast did not occur on us soil. i would leave it to our partners on whose territory, on whose soil as it were on these plastic, or to speak to the appropriate investigative 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 park now? none of its business. that's 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 to onto them, uses you missouri bus to clarify attacks on the north stream pipeline that you do not consider important. we just heard that for almost half a year, we have been asking the same question over and over again here in parliament during government interrogations, who attacked the gas pipelines in the baltic seat? this is the most serious terrorist attack against critical infrastructure since world war 2. your deaf on in silence. expose us you by. 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 shoulder. 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 schoultz 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 of the kind of operation that day the cia and other or covert parts of the u. s. government do carry out rather routinely by the way. yeah. 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. 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 they shouldn't have been there supposed to be a so called independent commission involving journey sweden and denmark into this whole affair. but they all seem to just wanna move on. like there's nothing to see here and it's really conspicuous silence. and in our shed those who have kind of developed in myrtle around all this who don't really want to talk about it really be the ones to be doing an investigation. normally when a country or a person or whatever is implicated in something, whether it's her she's in her, she's report otherwise. normally they are the ones overseeing the investigation. oh, rose newson, executive vice president of the regis center. think tank says the tax on the nose

frame pipeline, severely. honda european energy security and could not have been accomplished without u. s. participation us is the benefit of the citric beneficiary, the situation. let's face it, the a germans. definitely not. it's a, it's going to impact the germans economically empty, and the rest of europe, to some degree, to the germ germans the most, i may even lead to their de industrialization. they would, their energy prices will go up to the point that the, the not beat, they will not be competitive on the open market. they and l. c. i could see factories closing. i could see them relocating outside the countries where energy prices are cheaper and more efficient. but in this case we've got a terrorist attack against not just germany, but yet i think about this. this is a,

this is against europe in general. this is the major infrastructure providing you know what? upwards 220 to 40 percent of the natural gas to a, to europe. it sir. this is a terrorist, it's a state sponsored terrorist attack and unfortunately it, it definitely appears ah, that the u. s. has got very heavy hand in it somewhere in the last episode of jerry underground as she rode sauzie's things with american comedian ambers accommodated jimmy though ran number of subjects including the no stream pipeline blasts. stores says washington never hint it's in taishan. then use similar methods it employed in iraq and syria. you can watch the full interview this saturday here. ology. but here's 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 his interview on going underground on our rumble channel. you, you said there was a back to, for sabotage that somehow you agree with hersh biden was very clear about the north st pipeline. the energy reserves for the european union, the were destroyed and i should say, mainstream nato media claimed it could be russia destroying their own pipeline debate and said it was a deliberate act of sabotage. the russians are pumping out this information and lies. and at the appropriate moment when things come 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 dis, information here. joe, by himself said they were going to stop to north street pipeline. i didn't make that up. he said, and outside hurst reveal exactly in a detailed way exactly how they did it. we all knew they did it, russia, that's a cash cow for russia that pipelines, why would they blow up their own cash?

cow course, it makes no sense. and of course, you know, i'm old enough to remember the iraq war, and that was sold to 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. and i doubt you recall apologise for saddam saying they're doing that. it's the same thing over and over with fire home, 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 was right about iraq. and of course it's not. he doesn't take a genius to see what's going on. a danish media outlets a show new current income on the wearing or terrorist insignia and a story about his troops drains a view about what his unit needs an officer identify. this could is seen with the diet patch. the say, want to use a nice ation in the middle east. well,

it is the creamy, the latest russian intelligence statement has said, dash 5 is all being trained as a us base in serious conduct a fact in russia and other posts of countries. this comes off the numerous similar examples when the cleaning chips will seen. we're in new nazi and senior. the german army allegedly even have to issue a special warning for you printing cabinet cadets. county training to operate the soon to be supplied left the tanks not to draw not 2 symbols on the vehicles. deer trainees from ukraine in germany, there is a penalty of up to 3 years imprisonment or heavy for and for the display of swastikas or other symbols associated with fashion. assess insignia. be warned jolessa and also dial as long as is in washington as interests the u. s will

continue to split miss pulses around the world. the u. s. government has allied with these far right forces and over the course of its various imperial adventures and the case ukraine and allied with neo nazis. and now it appears that it's align with, with supporters of crisis as well. the u. s. is willing to work with anybody as long as they would help help them in their struggle against the union. and now it's doing the same thing with regard to the russian federation. ukrainian parliament also passed a resolution pledging allegiance to step on ban darrow's teachings and the, the, the, they quoted him as saying that the ukranian nationalism will not be fulfilled until the russian empire is destroy. so that's the political character of the

government that the u. s. is so closely allied with the russia ambassadors, india. so the expenses of lead to r t on the relationship between the 2 countries. but next i will be back probably out ah, to wish presentation of the ukraine complex is always been muddled and confusing. remember the phrase, as long as it takes that is not a strategic goal now or presented with as long as it takes pertains to the amount of conflict. it doesn't pertain the amount of assistance you understand. what that means. ah .
