[000:00:00;00] with our headlines this, our 100, i'm the one captured russia, so do return from you to any captivity, a prison by water, all the space with a rushes on an exclusive interview in which he says, the ties have vaguely strengthened and it's quite a work in fact, the sanctions

with american political home updated giving bill says the grain conflict both provoked by western powers. i'm itself, which has long been shilling the villians and they don't they don't know the history of what happened. they don't know, need always an offensive course natal, provoke this invasion gradient on their own citizens. you bring government was killing and bombing them and people don't know that they don't know the history a welcome to all see international broadcasting live from off. there's just one mid day here, and it's great to have with us. i might have all me. let's take a look at those top stories this out. moscow says on one, russian murphy prisoners have returned from ukrainian kept 17 of a,

to swap with keith. russia's defense minutes, he says it serviceable, had faced more so danger in captivity. he crane got back to the exact same number of its captured soldiers. the release, the russian troops have been taken to moscow, where they are received medical and psychological evaluations, and any necessary treatment is the 2nd such prisoners for this month. the previous one was mediated by the united arab emirates. all these so few nunez reports and you prisoner exchange round between russia and ukraine was conducted on thursday, bringing 101 brush and service men home, the russian air force plane with the former p o w is on board, lend at the near port here moscow from where they will be transported to a military hospital in the capitol for medical and psychological rehabilitation, the russian defense ministry stated that this man were at risk of death while held captive in ukraine. after spending, arguably the darkest hours over their lives,

his p. o w st. prisoner camps. they finally walk free. the feeling must be unbelievable. shirts of europe 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 or do 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. the robbers. i promised to return money. we're going back home was watched her lose a. she knew she, i have great feelings. so we returned to our homeland. although we have been waiting for this moment for a long time. it finally happened when i did, we kept up our hopes and believe that this day would come and it has come to day. when you maria, i have incredible emotions. i cannot believe this. now i want to go home, go fishing with my dad and see my family and celebrate all the holidays with them. meanwhile,

won the highest ranking us diplomats in washington under $63.00 newland. that careful says on, justified if they and plaque rational state infrastructure in crimea. ukraine is not going to be say, unless crimea is at a minima. at a minimum, demilitarized, there are a mass military installations. it and 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 in a sign crimea, the ukraine in the 1950s. but the laws, the ethnic russian territory voted to join russia in 2014, following a 2 in q that victorian union supposes the worst and assistance the crate has spot condemnation from

a member of the european parliament alongside criticism for ukrainian leaders. and as his please formal weaponry, instead of seeking a peace deal. so lensky has been american grounds begging for more weapons, but not one more to say about peace. how many of his own people was the conscript and feed into the counties before he sits down to negotiations. and many of the people of europe was lose our jobs and our homes. before natal would allow these no graces negotiations to happen. and lastly, what i'd like to know what has happened to germany, the jewel of europe, shortest told us that would be no peace in russia. no peace in europe without russia forced your sentiments. now your sound tanks to kill russians. then numerous proposal has been violently displayed on the seas and in the homes to be

sent on the front lines. our kids forces believe to have suffered massive losses in recent fighting in the dom us. we heard from international certainly climb. preston says, covered is big business for many, west and officials. and that's what's making them wants to prolong the conflict as much as possible. you know, i've, i've heard tale of conscription now of 15 and 16 year old boy's people were drafted in the service it go to the market to buy food and you know, people reinforce in the service and it's reminiscent, frankly, of the last days germany in 1945, when that, that country was failing and losing the war. the western countries had ignored common sense and prudent thought in the support they've given to ukraine to this

date. and i don't see this changing now because of, you know, the, the current construct, conscription laws and practices in the ukraine. you know, it's business. so in a way, it's just a way to, to propagate this more because a lot of people in the west are making a lot of money. i mean, look at congress, look at the number of people in our congress that own shares and right the on and united technologies and northrop grumman. they're all making money. and so sadly, there's a small percentage of the people when united states and great britain and other western countries that are, are making big money on this conflict of gary underground ice sheet rock sounds he discussed with american business commentators. jimmy, though a number of subjects, including the roots of the grain conflicts dog, says the conflict was provoked by nature as was why keith, which has long been showing civilian areas in the dumbest,

who watched the full interview this saturday. here on our team, in the meantime is a sneak peak, but they're doing so they're unwittingly using the american. the people of ukraine has cannon fodder and a proxy and economic proxy war. what we did was provoke this invasion, and the german chancellor just admitted that we provoked this invasion in 2014 the united states over through the democratically elected government are view brain. why did they do that for the people who say that i'm aiding russia somehow? i've been propagandized, they don't know the history of what's happened. they don't know. nieto is an offensive course natal, provoke this invasion ukrainians, their own citizens, ukraine government was killing and bombing them. people don't know this. they don't know the history because when the corporate meeting in the united states still tells the story of you brain, they started from pollutants invasion. they don't know why, but invaded, they don't know that you gradient government was bombing those people for 8 straight years and slaughtering them. they don't know that there have been with

nazis literal nazis and people have no idea that that's what happens. so you can call me anything you want. there's only one way to end this war. it, everyone knows that the you bring war is going to end with the negotiation. so we have to get people at the negotiating table right now. nato doesn't want joe biden, doesn't want to negotiate, and he wants to keep this going on. he wants to keep people being killed and you, great. so we can bleed russia economically and that plan isn't working. what we're doing is russia is now becoming closer and closer with china, and they're going to become the new center of economics in the world. i don't understand why the people will wake up to this because, but the reason why they will wake up to this is because they don't get to see shows like this, or hear voices like me. they only hear voices from the parole or military industrial complex and bought media where i suppose i may have turned a blind eye to you claims should they know the rickly provinces on boss for the

past 9 years, but nevertheless, supported the independence of another region. that's of their interests, this friday monks 15 years since the braithwaite, serbian progress of crossover unilaterally declared independence was storm support by western powers. despite boss opposition by you and member states including russia, the cause of a separatist movement gained prominence during the the star wars nighty, ninety's. the west claim that you, the star ranita miller salvage a was engaged in ethnic cleansing. and that bombing would prevent a refugee crisis. so nato decided to intervene and bomb serbia for $78.00 days belgrade, still in fiscal 2 is a part of survey and has denounced the break for a policy unilateral declaration as

a violation of international law. many $100.00 un countries including security council members, russia and china have refused to recognize the self proclaimed state. is how people who live through those events have described their heating when they learn, their homeland was divided into 2. 0 for me, little that was the saddest day of my life losing a part of my country even to this day, regardless of them, call it an independent kassawa. i see it is an integral part of the republic of serbia. i think it's all one big propaganda campaign from the west, knowing that this land is very rich in minerals and or, i think it's all about just grabbing what they need. peace is not present at this day, nor do i think we will have it until corso was recognized the serpent territory. life has changed for the worse. i don't feel safe in all. in every corner we have coursework, police spraying fear, and sir ha, panting, put on when the penis was announced, who felt unsafe, wearing fall was safe,

and the seat of how the children. i believe that was their goal to separate course when mental have from so there and to have it for themselves. it hasn't brought peace for ourselves for sure. i don't know how it will go on further, but i don't think it will be any better. at least for us subs and for the children, we don't want them to grow up in the circumstances. we don't feel safe. not love here. so a slight hint. tension is a 3 in belgrade and cause over the crisis was arrested last summer. has continued to the present day with thousands of ethics, the expressing outrage over reason crashes in kosovo. we heard from the boys are my 3rd when american journalist and historian, who says the cost of an issue has always been a wave, the worse to pressure serbia. customers always been away for to where the pressure serbia they used to pretend to offer something in return, you know,

your membership or, or be a prospect of a possible eventual theoretical your membership or investments. or, you know, some kind of carrot, so to speak. and ever since last year, when the conflict in ukraine escalated, they've been offering nothing but the stick that are basically at this point saying, unless you recognize goes into everything we tell you and keep doing everything we tell you. we're just going to beat you with a stick just until you do. and presently this involves economic sanctions, blockade freezing investments, abolishing visa, all basically all of these little perks that they've doled out the surgery over the years and hope to sweetening the deal. but that failed so far to result in their desired outcome. i think just about everybody is preparing for another war. but i think also that the current conflicts in ukraine and the absolute carnage that they

can see coming out of there is, is sobering up. some people and making them realize that the violence of the 1990 s while horrible, was orders of magnitude smaller in comparison to what might ensue. i believe the war war rhetoric is more of i would say it's something that people that local people irresponsibly engage in, hoping that their external sponsors would have their back. but they don't actually aspire to fight themselves because even day at this point, realize that this would not be a walk in the park. he heard from the russian ambassadors in the, in an exclusive interview in which he says the western science is actually catalyzed bilateral relations. is a preview, the full interview will air throughout the day. the sanctions war against russia

has in fact as had insights. not was it the sect and accelerated the, the russia, india trade. as you know, last year it grew almost 3 and a half times and reached reached about 35000000000 u. s. c. u. s. t. a record record level. for the lion's share belongs to oil and coal, and fertilizers, and the metal supplies from russia. indian exports are still far behind. that is true. we're working in 10 in 10 sleet balance it. it's important that there is a wide spread interest from private sector regional

business. a small and medium scale business is getting more active. the tourists flow to india shows promising dynamics and is increasing. ok. so the, the scope of opportunities for india to expand its presence in the russian market. it has increased dramatically in almost all segments of industry. and it would be wise for the indian business to make use of them as a lab, the african continent, south africa, mining industry has been struggling with corruption, administrative barry's and, and lack of new exploration. limiting is development. as all just terrible effect law reports. it is the bedrock on which modern day life in 1000 tip

of africa is built 1st with a discovery of diamonds, laser gold, and then platinum, mineral discovery has made johannesburg. how thing province crucial to south africa was economy so much so that to this very day, john is big. you're still known as the city of gold. the mineral council of south africa says that the industries 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 effect the low timeline. so that we can be 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 that really wants to sit. ready in all the deals that's made up africa, very unattractive place to actually expend money for exploration. for the purpose of money, they are 2 types of mineral exploration, brownfields, and greenfield. brownfields exploration means the searching of additional deposits in no, when all currently mine sites, while greenfields is about searching for new minerals and that is where south africa was. weak sport is net investment in greenfield. exploration is slowly shrinking. yet the department of minerals and energy is settled with thousands of i'm process to request for exploration, right?

president rum on pause again called on mining companies to build schools, road clinics and provide electricity to communities where they operate as part of a social pact. but as we all know, money is like water, it flows in the path of least resistance makes you know, that's the state's job. that's why mining companies pay picks. so, so while you're loading up your mining companies with huge amounts of additional costs, they're going to say no, thank you. we 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 an incentive,

or soon it might be very little mining left in the south africa. got a lot of tea, and john russia is launching an appeal at the you and for an urgent infection investigation into the sub advisor the know stream pipelines. that's off a recent article why pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh said the u. s . bond the pipeline system on orders from the barton administration. now the u. s. says it's not going to conduct an investigation into this new resurfaced 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 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, their dead 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 . s. that don't directly involve it park now? none of its business. that's a new one, and americans are the only ones asking some questions. german politicians are wondering why they're so much silence around the issue from berlin to onto them. lucy, 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 interrogation. so would all who attract the gas pipelines in the baltic sea? this is the most serious terrorist attack against critical infrastructure since world war 2. your deafening silence exposes you by you. now remember, the german chess or olaf schultz was standing in the 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 so i just stood there saying nothing. i don't know if he was 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 economists 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 or covert parts would 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 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 north stream, sabotage and purchase report, the u. s. and norway also just happen 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 should have been there 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 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 rasmussen, executive vice president. oh, the eurasia essential thing. thing says the tags on the nose stream. i'm playing severely harmed, european energy security and could not have been complete without us for the spacious us. is the benefit of such a 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 di, industrialization. they would,

their energy prices will go up to the point that they will not be. they will not be competitive on the open market. they and l. c, i could see factory 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 to think about this. this is a, this is against europe in general. this is the major infrastructure providing, you know, what upwards don't 20 to 40 percent of the natural gas to a, to europe. it's a, this is a terrorist, it's a state sponsored terrorist attack. and unfortunately it, it definitely appears that the u. s. has got very heavy hand in it somewhere. oh, yes. present. joe blind has insisted that the last 3 and identified and cross shot

down over north american as space would 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 countries you chose communities. current assessment. is that these 3 objects for most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studied whether or conducting other scientific research. also, the national incident happened earlier this month. the supposed chinese, why balloon story made headlines and the american media. that was a lot of rhetoric about alleged threats coming from china and savannah's missions. but now more questions of arisen and by then abruptly fled when asked by reporters, i has

a power business tires with china. i stand with president and his son and his family make so much money from their a chinese business operations. you know, the sad thing in the united states right now is, is they have created the boogeyman of russia in the book, the man of china, and are creating enemies when we should be finding bridges of prosperity and friendship. i think the way the mainstream media in the u. s. covered the balloon story. it was really a hodgepodge mess of what the biden stories were in the mainstream media. got a little bit confused in the process. at the end of the day, i think it's proved to be a distraction from other more serious issues. like the open border, the fentenol drug crisis that is being created crime in our cities, the economic downturn, inflation still hurting americans in their wallets and the continued funding of hundreds of billions of dollars for ukraine when americans are hurting here at home

. so i think the by the administration wants distractions like a balloon story, even if it's harmful to their credibility, because it distracts from the real issues they're failing to handle. russian i'm boss is india spoke exclusively to r t on the relationship to the 2 countries, laptop megs and will be back probably our will existing ah, at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from great pain, who's

with food and medicines in supplies and freedom with with a i really thought that we were going to die off the flight. i saw i began, i crawled all the way to the right other. and then i hid behind death by a few years before i was even born. and this has happened again and again and again
