i shall stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think a 101 can to the russian. so it is returned from you put in captivity, and the legs are prisoners by moscow i party thing for the russians. i'm back to the india and exclusive interview in which he says those countries tires have significantly strengthened spite with sanctions. rewards gauge. russia, as with the american political commentator, jimmy, those are the crank, off,

it was voted by western powers, i'm it. so it has long been showing civilian and they don't they don't know the history of what happened. they don't know, need always an offensive force nato for both invasion. you brady and their own citizens, you bring government was killing and bombing them. people don't know they're, they don't know the history with good afternoon and welcome to a thing alive for most of the hour as well is it's great to have you with. i'm like mommy and take a look at the top stories this out. well sir says a 101 russian emergency prisoners have returned from ukrainian captivity in the late to swap with cave. russia's defacement, as he says, it serviceman had faith mortal danger in captivity. ukraine got back of the exact

same number of his captors. so does the release russian troops have been taken to moscow where they'll receive medical? i'm psychological evaluations, and any necessary treatment is the 2nd such prisoner saw this month. the previous one was mediated by the united arab emirates. all these are so few nunez reports. 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 on board lend at the near port here moscow from where they will be transported to a military hospital in the capital for medical and psychological rehabilitation, the russian defense ministry stated that these men were at risk of death while held captive in ukraine. after spending, arguably the darkest hours over their lives as b 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. 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. i promised to return, but we're going back home such as she knew she, i have great feelings. so we returned to our homeland, 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, you, 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. meanwhile, one of the highest ranking us diplomats in washington under the secretary of state victoria newton has had keith forces are justified if they attack russian 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 it 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 soviet union assign troy mans ukraine in the 1950s with the laws, the ethnic russian territory boots. it's a joy in russia in 2014 following a 2 in q that victoria newland supported. there was an assistance full ukraine, a spark condemnation of from a member of the european parliament alongside criticism for ukrainian leaders and his please for more weaponry. instead of sinking a peace deal,

soleski has been making the rounds, begging for more weapons, without 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 our jobs and our homes before natal, with a loud noise is negotiations to happen. and lastly, what i'd like to know what has happened to germany, the june of europe, should've told us that to be no peace in russia, but no apiece in europe without russia forced to st helmets. no, you're sound tanks to kill russians. have then numerous, also visa and being violently detained on the streets and in their homes to be sent to the front lines. but those que forces are believed to have suffered massive losses in recent fighting. and then on by so we heard from international the climb,

preston, who says, the clean conflict is big business for many less than officials. and that's what's making them want to put on the conflict as much as possible. you know, i've heard tale of conscription now of 15 and 16 year old boys paper are drafted in the service it go to the market to buy food and you know, people reinforce into 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 change in 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 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. and then i just as a sort of going on the ground i've seen written, he discussed with american political commentator jimmy, do a number of subjects including the roots of the crane conflict door says the conflict was provoked by nature as was bike heave, which has long been showing civilian areas in don't bus. you can watch the full interview this saturday here on our team. in the meantime, here's a sneak peak, but they're doing so they're unwittingly using the american,

but 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 of ukraine. why did they do that? 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 chilling 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 ukraine, they started from pollutants invasion. they don't know why to invaded, they don't know that the 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 she wants to keep this going on. he wants to keep people being killed and you brain, 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 heard voices from the pro or military industrial complex and bought media. lesson powers may have turned a blind eye to glaze shirley. oh, the breakaway province is of the done bus for the past 9 years. but have never the ness supported the independence of another. jones closes their interests. this friday months. 15 years since the braithwaite, serbian province of coffer,

unilaterally declared independence, was staunch support by western powers. despite boss opposition by un member states including russia because of a services movement gained prominence during the the star wars, the 19 ninety's, the wes claimed, the yugoslav leader miller savage was engaged in ethnic cleansing. and that bombing would prevent refugee prices. so nato decided to intervene and bond serbia for $78.00 days. well, grace dylan says customer is a part of service and has denounced. the breakaway progress is unilateral declaration, the violation of international law. nearly 100, you and countries, including security council members, russia and china, have refused to recognize the self proclaimed state. is how people who live through

those of us have described their feelings when they learn their home life was divided into or for me little that was the saddest day of my life. losing a part of my country even to this day, regardless of them colon and independent kosovo. i see it is an integral part of the republic of serbia. i think it's so 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 this day, nor do i think we will have it until casa was recognized as serpent territory. life has changed for the worse. i don't feel safe at all. for every corner we have coursework, police spraying fear and terror. ha, panting, put on a linda panis was announced, who felt unsafe, wearing fall, was safe, and to say to fall the children. i believe that with their goal to separate course, one mental health 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 soaps, and for the children. we don't want them to grow up in the circumstances. we don't feel safe law fears or a slight intentions between belgrade and cost over the courses which erupt and last summer has continued it to the present day with thousands of ethnic serves expressing outrage over reason crashes and crossover. we heard firma and the boys of mileage, a serbian american phyllis and historian. this is the course of an issue, have always been away from the west. some pressure server customer has always been away for to west to 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. busy 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 going to beat you with a stick until you do. and presently this involves, you know, economic sanctions, blockade freezing investments, abolishing visa. all basically all of these little perks that they've doled out the survey over the years in hopes of sweetening to be real. but that failed so far to result in, in their desired outcome. i think just about everybody is preparing for another war . but i think also that the current conflict 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 has been 1990 s wild. 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 or see heard from other russia and buses, india in the exclusive interview, which he says, the western sanctions of actually castle bilateral relations his a preview, the full interview will air throughout the day. the sanctions war against russia has, in fact has had incite to not present district and accelerated the, the russia, india trades. as you know,

last year it grew almost 3 and a half times and the reached reached about 35000000000 u. s. c. u s. t. a record record level of 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 the intensely to 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 there's increasing ok. so the,

the scope of opportunities for india to expand its presence in the russian market has increased dramatically in almost all segments of industry. and it would be wise for the indian business to make use of them by the us head over now the african continent, south africa mining industry has been struggling with corruption, administrative barriers, and a lack of new exploration limiting is development. as r c, it's kind of been a tattler reports. it is the bedrock on which modern day life in 1000 tip of africa is built. first, with the discovery of diamonds, later, gold, and then platinum, mineral discovery has made johannesburg. how being providence crucial to south africa's economy so much so that to this very day, john is vick,

you're 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, the very unattractive place to actually expend buddy flu exploration for the purpose of money. there are 2 types of mineral exploration, brownfields, and greenfield. brownfield exploration news, the searching of additional deposits in no, when or currently mine sites, while greenfields is about searching for new minerals and that is where south africa's 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 processed request for exploration rights. president drama was again called on mining companies to build schools, role 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 type picks. 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. kelly has the largest known reserves of lithium in the world. yet, australia is the minerals leading global supplier. if south africa was to reach is target of attracting 5 percent of the. busy worlds investment in mineral exploration spend. it will have to give incentive or soon there might be very little mining left in south africa. got a village that's have a lot of t and jonathan. ah, russia is launching an appeal at the u. i,

in for an urgent international investigation to the sabotage of the north field pipelines. last after recently, all school y pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, said the u. s. bond the pipeline system on orders from the burden administration. now you are says it's not going to conduct an investigation into those new de surfaced revelations. these blast did not occur on us soil. i would leave it to our nurse on whose territory on whose soil as it were on these plastic urge 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 north stream to pipeline is

a russian geopolitical project intended to divide europe and we can european energy security. it's a bad deal for all involved. so in that price, sure have 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 and 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. you missouri best 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 deafening silence exposes you. now remember, the german chancellor, olaf 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 source of energy and shells. 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 life live 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 a 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 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 did the intention was to end nord stream. yeah. and also go figure that the 2 nations accused of the north 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 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 marta 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 hirsch's in hirsch's

report or otherwise, normally they are the ones overseeing the investigation. oh, rosie is an executive vice president of the you raise a send a think tank, says the times on the nov stream pipeline, severely hom, european energy security. i'm could not have been accomplished without us, but spatial 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 the impact the german economically and te and the rest of europe to some degree, to the germ germans. the most may even lead to their and the industrialization they would, their energy prices will go up to the point that they'll not be they will not be competitive on the open market. the and l. c. i can 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 the, this is against europe in general. this is the major infrastructure providing you know what upwards to 20 to 40 percent of the natural gas to, to europe. it's this is the terrorists that the state sponsored terrorist attack. and unfortunately, it definitely appears that the u. s. has got very heavy hand in it somewhere. meanwhile, us present, joe biden has insisted that the last 3 and identified as shut down north american as space will probably civilian balloons. not related to china's espionage program. nothing right now suggests they were related to chinese fire balloon

program, or that they were surveillance vehicles from other any other countries. you tell us communities current assessment? is that these 3 objects for most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying whether or conducting other scientific research. after the initial incident happened early this month, the supposed chinese supply balloon story made headlines. in american media, there was a lot of rhetoric about alleged threats coming from china, and it's a vast missions. but now more questions of arisen am biden abrupt. the fled went off by reports is about his apparent this is ties with china. i am a president and his son and his family makes so much money from their 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 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. 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 federal 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. well, that's all for this is our next you can see the latest episode,

of course. so i'm my colleague royce you say will be with you at the top of the hour with the latest headlines i'm out. hm. i'll meet with you with

ah, what happens when you make digital gains with actual physical sport solving like digital filters? yes. carson is preparing to host the 1st ever gains of the future. a cyber context with a physical dimension. one of the innovators, eager to soluble is on the verge of redefining sports and gaming. he tells us what's behind this synergy. and if it's the future ah.
