ah ah, headline stories this hour late so on vales plans to create a fleet of spy satellites. the booster blocks military mission, russia responded, stating if news them out law full targets that the probes are used to help you frame all about that. also, it has this, i work with me in the united states, still telling the story of ukraine. they started from invasion. they don't know why it was invaded. they don't know that you graham government was bombing those people for 3 years and slaughtering them. they don't know that they're embedded with nazis literal nazis and people have no idea that that's what happened right now in the american political commentator jimmy door break started well to west north to have
1:01 pm
on the conflict. ukraine is lock in new delhi safe india state of democracy is under threat by george sore, also called the millionaire, a hedge fund manager, and economic with 9 at night here in moscow this friday, the 17th of february. i'm, you know, this is the news are on our tea. we will get to those stories in just a moment. but 1st we begin with breaking news coming out of pakistan. this our authorities say they are now back in control of a police station after it was attacked by terrorists in the country's biggest city, karachi. ah, well,
1:02 pm
according to local news agencies, a shirt sides, i rocked it after several terrorists entered the police station and open fire at around 7 p. m. local time and friday, the main terrorist organization in the country, the islamists, he was, he'll, he'll say he's behind, will be a suicide bombers police to loan and south all the on the 4th through extremist, by the way, are lead, stooping killed on 5 more people injured including only spend just to point out last month, the same to retail upon pakistan. hill over $100.00 in a suicide bombing at a mosque and echelon with gag order. okay, any more significant updates from this story in karachi, we will, of course, bring it to you on the proof, nato is planning to use commercial satellites for a spy purposes nicknamed akila. the orbital fleet is aim to providing support for
1:03 pm
the u. s. that organizations, military missions, now it comes as russia has accused the west of launching another arms rates in space. earlier my colleagues research shay and rachel blevins talked through developments. eto is now advertising their plans for spy satellites, which they say are all about data collection. and really streamlining their data sharing for the entire nato alliance. now what's notable about this plan is that it will involve around 16 nato member states, as well as finland and sweden, even though they're not officially part of the alliance that we've heard from nato . in recent years, they've complained about russia and china in space. the alliance says that they're concerned about being, as they put it restricted in outer space, but they're justifying this new plan by saying that it all comes back to the space policy that they adopted back in 2019. now, as all of this is happening, we've also heard from nato secretary general. he was talking about the ways in
1:04 pm
which the alliance is assisting ukraine right now. and he said that they plan to continue using commercial satellites for military purposes, despite all of the warnings that we've heard from russia. and when you talk about warnings referred from russia, i can only expect what kind of response we've had for moscow regarding this new fleet of spy satellites. and any would, well, russia, foreign ministry is again warning that this conflicts could get escalated all the way to outer space and that it could end up with civilian infrastructure being targeted because of the way that it is being used by nato. the risks of turn an outer space into military front hip they can shape civilian infrastructure components provided to ukraine for military purposes. in outer space may become a legitimate target for retaliation strike. now, at the same time, the head of a military space academy in russia is also speaking out and saying that there are legitimate concerns that these new satellites from nato are going to be used to target russian satellites. and that it could disrupt communications. as a result,
1:05 pm
they did receive, molly mall, combat spacecraft can be deployed as part of multi satellite low orbit communication systems such as one web and star link. this poses a threat to face attack on critically important satellites of our country. this pertains to communications and telecommunications. what does it mean? it means the possibility of losing control over strategic include forces. mucus cannot be allowed speech, so they're increasing concerns about individual companies getting involved in the current conflict. because nato is showing no signs of backing down. yeah, i was so rich. what does this mean for example, for like commercial satellite companies? millet, let's look at ella mosque and, and starling, for example. starling has been the number one source for satellite logistics in the ukraine conflict. what, what are the ramifications? they will the implications, i guess. that's right, and as we've seen, nato has a lot of those startling satellites and loved using them. but just last week we heard from space acts, they came out and they said that they were taking steps to prevent the ukrainian
1:06 pm
military from using those darling satellites for military purposes for controlling their drones in the conflict. now that's incredibly notable because phase x is taking a stand here and they're saying that they never meant for the satellite to be weaponized . we're also hearing from space x e o you on must. of course, he's speaking out, but he's saying he's concerned about whether or not these sterling satellites could be used to take the conflict further to the point where it reaches world war 3. shoreline is the communication backbone of ukraine, especially at the front lines where almost all other internet connectivity has been destroyed. but we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to world war 3. now we have to remember that space x has shipped thousands of star link terminals to ukraine, the majority of which the companies themselves have donated to the country. so now they're coming out. they're saying that the internet provided by these terminals that it's only supposed to be used for humanitarian purposes. however,
1:07 pm
when it comes to the steps that space x is actually taking to prevent those terminals from being used for military purposes, that still remains to be seen. attentions rise in space. nate, so has been of it for a while back here on earth by provoking the conflict in ukraine. now that is according to american political commentator jimmy door, and the latest episode of going underground with option returns the the per discuss, the routes of the conflict and how ukrainian forces have long been talking civilians and on bus a point generally missing from western news report you can watch the fall in for you this saturday here, alert what they're doing. so they're unwittingly using the american that 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
1:08 pm
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. needle 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 your brain, they started from invasion. they don't know why to 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 happened. 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 in ukraine, so we can bleed russia economically and that plan isn't working. what we're doing
1:09 pm
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 bought media. mm. a un security council meeting has wrapped up in new york on russia's envoy did not hold back now. he slammed the west for endlessly at propping up. he says, the key of government with lethal aid attempting to destroy russia on spreading reso phobic sentiment across europe in the u. s. usage of a shoes mil exhibit lieutenant zulu. i appeal to the western members of are you in the security council? you will not be able to live as before. you are ready shown to your hidden were so
1:10 pm
phobia. it's that family designed to destroy our country. that is all that tribes, you know, you're not interested in building a system of euro. when you're atlantic security, together with the russian federation for you, it can only be against the russian federation. there is no trust in you with your incompetence, insidious you, creating analyses narrow borders, then stood up the situation. we found out the red lines, your cold, the more you lie, the more they will believe that you would need it worse than you. let's go live to where those remarks were heard today in new york city and corresponding kill him up . and caleb, i heated debate at un headquarters to they certainly it appears no punches poll. take us through it. well, as you heard those strong words from russian ambassador to ben's ear, we can also note that the u. s. representative. god did not heed those words. this
1:11 pm
is what was actually said with a straight face by the representative of the united states before the un security council, the 15 member body that leads that un, the other men's agreements, signatories, france, germany, ukraine, in the o. s. c. sought to implement the agreements in good faith. united states supported the efforts of the normative format. and the trilateral contact group will calling for the full implementation of the minsk agreements by all sides. for years. we called on russia to honor its commitments under the mens agreements and negotiate in good faith for the end of hostilities and eastern ukraine as ukraine did for years on what planet did this happen. we now have admissions from multiple. busy nato officials saying that they never intended to implement the mens agreements. they had simply signed uminski agreements to buy time and set the stage for an info, a coming confrontation. this has been admitted by multiple nato officials. this is
1:12 pm
what been said minute i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least full and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the acquainting economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe. according to nato standards, the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time ukraine. yes, this time to become strong as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. since 2014, ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. their notion of somehow working for peace was pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of military equipment into the key of government's eyes. pretty obvious that the
1:13 pm
united states, as you asked officials and officials aligned with the united states throughout europe, that made clear it was clear that they had no intention of actually fulfilling the means. the chords, the men's agreement, they simply were using it to set the stage for a confrontation with russia. now it's important to note that 8 years ago, the un security council, this very body's president, my adopted a resolution saying that the admins agreement was the road to peace. so this very body adopted a resolution saying that the men's agreement was the road to peace. and us officials and nato aligned countries. now admit they had absolutely no intention of carrying it out. so that raises the question of how can a negotiation and a resolution of conflict and ukraine come about with us officials and their allies? not being honest. i, here's what the representative of china said to the council ged. so mindy,
1:14 pm
the viability of any agreement depends on how well it simple and whatnot. but if it can't be translated into concrete actions, proactively, and in good faith, and the best agreement would end up being just a piece of paper. on the other hand, if all provisions could be effectively implemented, the ukranian crisis might not have developed one of these today, num, creaming crisis is the essence and culmination of security conflicts in europe that are closely related to nato's constant eastern expansion. since the cold war will could only g. now, every country represented at the un security council, all 15 countries made a call for peace and that includes russia. every voice that spoke wanted a resolution of the conflict, and many are hoping that the united nations can play the role of the mediator that will set the stage to an agreement, there will and the conflict. however, the un has not acted in a neutral way. and the russian ambassador pointed out some of the problems in the
1:15 pm
way the un has operated over the past 8 years. so from the 1st phase of the military operation, the u. n. secretariat following the western countries has been replicating antique russian cliches and direct claims against russia while asserting that is following the resolutions of the general assembly. i would like to emphasize they are not consensus. resolutions in one of them. country to common sense. you and traditions and even simply country to decency. there is a reference to the position of the secretary general. this is what you and officials came to by trying to ignore violations of the minsk agreements and avoid assessments that could anger the collective west. and to day many say that the u. n . must definitely play a role in mediation between russia and ukraine. and what do you think, given what i said, can we trust such mediation way as the guarantee that now the secretariat will behave differently. glucose. now, trust is lydel in all negotiations. if there is going to be some kind of
1:16 pm
negotiation to resolve the conflict and asked to be done on the basis of mutual understanding countries speaking ida, i and looking at each other i to i and speaking clearly making it clear understand it. so while every nation represented the un security council said they want peace, they want negotiations. they want to end the conflict questions were raised about how this could be done when they are very different interpretations of what led to this conflict being put forward by major countries. can a thanks very much for taking us through, thus ortiz caleb, my pin. ah, the us environmental protection agency has been trying to reassure a locals living close to a major freight train derailment. 2 weeks ago. vast amounts of toxic chemicals were spilled or burnt off. the e p a chief said the local water still fed to drink and the air are safe to breathe
1:17 pm
. although acknowledged, not all people living nearby were convinced. we know that there is a lack of trust, which is why the se, in the federal government have place to be very transparent. as soon as we get information, we post that information on the scale of the disaster unperceived lack of coverage and even acknowledgement from officials in washington as sparks outraged locally and online. some critics also suggested the white i should be focusing more. busy on its domestic problems down its foreign policy goals, maybe as a train derailed and exploded in ukraine. they'd give a damn train derailment in ohio while another $10000000000.00 goes to military contractors for ukraine, money laundering. it's no wonder we had an average of $1704.00 train derailments per year from 1990 to 2021, especially with tracks like these in ohio. but yeah,
1:18 pm
let's keep sending more money to ukraine. what our politicians are doing to our country is traitorous. well in the last few weeks alone, the u. s. have seen 5 chemical emergencies on thursday. a train carrying hussar tis materials derailed in michigan bouts hours after a different chemical emergency was sparked in florida when fire engulfed at plastics warehouse and a quickly spread across several acres of land. well let's welcome live on to the program bio chemist on former u. s. congressional candidate, tricia, flanagan, tricia, we appreciate your time today. can you give us a sense of what the situations like in ohio currently? is it safe for, for locals to return home, drink the water, breathed the air as being said, well,
1:19 pm
thank you for having me on. it's really my pleasure. and you know, when you talk about safety and you know, it depends on your definition of safe. so what i mean by that is, you know, when i put my biochemist hat on, i look at the components of the chemicals that have been released into the air, into the water and upon the people of ohio. and in some of these other disasters that you're talking about. so if we look specifically at ohio, we know that in 5 out of those 10 cars that were derailed that had hazardous materials, one of the components was something called vinyl chloride. well, when it burns off, when you, when you with night vinyl fluoride, you get a number of different gases at one of which is hydrogen chloride. and you've probably seen that big plume. you probably seen the footage of that big dark cloud over ohio. that's kind of the churning through of all these different chemicals. so when you look at what was introduced into the air and that will ultimately rain down. because when you mix things like hydrogen chloride with water, you get
1:20 pm
a hydrochloric acid, kind of like the acid free of decades prior that we heard in the news of other as well. i have other disasters. but here's the issue. when you're talking about the water, specifically what, what matters, the air is what actually is getting into the water table. what is actually draining into the soil. and those are 2 different issues. gases are going to affect people differently. you're going to have nyja headache. ah, you're going to have burning of the up. it's the only him of the lung tissue. you're going to have short term symptoms of that nature. but long term, if those chemicals rain down or if they've poured out in any capacity into the soil, you've probably seen footage. poke in the water, the see any water, you see stuff coming up. that's what's going to have long term implications. so the water might test, okay, in the short term, in the, you know, when you, when you look at the water supply. but when you look what's going to filter through
1:21 pm
the water table, potentially through the soil, you've got a long term issue that united russia. yeah. on yet you, you've experts like you saying that to, you know, caution is the best policy here. you don't want to be left with something long term . but you, you've got federal authority seeing the opposite saying things are ok. go back under when you kind of pull up the soil underneath. you're seeing spots of everything from things that would mimic ethylene glycol cuz that's a component of what was released. that's antifreeze, basically, or a derivative thereof. everything from that to some of the other, the 5 other chemicals that were released. so in the short term again, when i look at the ph at testing the water, that's the water supply that's going to be less affected in the short term. again, my concerns are long term, some of these elements are constant carcinogen. yeah. and i think you're right that the people on the ground, they know some things up. they might not, not know the direct chemistry, but they know that something doesn't look right. it doesn't smell right, it doesn't feel right. it is some of the reaction we've been looking at as well.
1:22 pm
the critic seeing the by did ministration, the house, it's priorities wrong. it's focusing at too much in what's happening abroad, such as an ukraine and has taken its eye off the ball a home. how for a charge is that? well, i think it's exceedingly fair because i think that the binding ministration right out of the gate, they didn't start from doing something, right. they started at less than 0. so if you project that out, you start, you start wrong, you're gonna, you're going to finish even more wrong. and i think that everything from the foreign relations policy that you're talking about to the domestic issue that we have going on right now we're, they're really turning a blind eye in ways. it's just part and parcel of the entire trajectory that the administration has has just been going from bad to worse. in my opinion. listen, thanks so much for your time today. we appreciate it on an expert level and also a commentary. wellness, well tricia, flanagan, biochemist on former
1:23 pm
u. s. congressional conduct many thanks. thank you. ah, an economic war criminal. what's to brick? india's democracy? those were the direct words from the indian minister of unions and claims 1000000000. are a financier at george soros says plotting to intervene in the country, the man who broke the bank of england a man who was known and designated, sold by a nation as an economic war, criminal has now pronounced his desire to break the indian democracy. the government is angry, they've hit back saying that soros is trying to target in del democracy. we hard, the indian municipal smithy or johnny was really angry there who held
1:24 pm
a press conference just a while back. no source has said to be the fees behind the regime. change attempts in india and remember that board india is due for a general election now for the 92 year old american given billionaire has questioned indian prime minister. in more these silence all the of donnie control was see post the hindenburg report. india. it's an interesting case it's democracy, but is leave the mobility is no democrat moody and resist cool down the closer lives faith you seem to try and move the sign and under fabricate. but you will have a question from foreign investors and in finding them and then the. 8 hindenburg had said that the need to pull the largest corn in corporate history. and of course,
1:25 pm
although donnie group had hit back out the u. s. based research form, this was a 413 page document that the donnie group came with that rejected 88th allegations really that were pressed by indian bug against the dani group. now of basically what the dani group said that he didn't book had clear the intent of profiteering of the cost or for the shareholders as well as public investors. but who is george soros? he's arguably one of the most controversial figures in the world. he's known of a financial group by some by boast, he's known for his malicious influence, a billionaire who is known to move mock. it's really, he's also called the man who broke the bank of england. he's in fact the master of manipulation of global master, as he's known by many now india of course,
1:26 pm
is extremely angry, and they're saying that they're always listen to any lecturing by this man. ah, the reach of digital currency in russia is set to grow. that's after the country central bank confirmed that plans to launch a pilot project in april to test the digital ruble in more than a dozen banks. well, to learn more about this, when i joined live in the studio by archie from peter chris and chris, good to see you use a union for the technologically adverse like myself. what's that digital rubel? yeah, that's a great question. unions to really a digital variable is not ready for the common use. there is no real different than the variables you have in your bank account or dollars or rice. and the only difference really is that instead of it being a number that sort of randomly printed on a screen, that can be inflated. it's actually built on, on block chain technology and issued in a way where it's,
1:27 pm
you will have to account for every one variable that is in the bank to the roubles that are actually in circulation. so let me just plead ignorance for another moment . what difference bring me going with my debit card and paying for things with a digital rhythm? what is the plan difference? yes, so really absolutely nothing to you is to use the union that the, the fundamental difference is you're not going to have these, these cumbersome payment networks involved. so for example, your debit card. if we're, if we're talking to all of us in the west, that'll be using mastercard and visa, mastercard and visa. but we taking a chunk of the fee in order to process that transaction. this way, that transaction happens directly from russia, central bank to the merchant, or the shop, or wherever you're buying your, your kids. so that middle man is essentially cut out. understood. ok. in terms then of benefits. will people be able to use these digital roubles when a network connection is all available? you know, that could be issues like that, right? yes. so, so reading the, the white paper from the russia center by saying yes,
1:28 pm
you can. now how they actually do that. we'll have to see when they come up with more color, but i imagine it would be the same way as if you've ever been on an airplane to something on your card. that transaction isn't actually process because you're in the ad, there's no internet connection to actually process that. so what happens is when the plane lands that transaction is then processed by on a sheet, it will probably be a similar mechanism. ok. what's the difference between digital rubles and crypto currency heard so much about? i know it's part of it, but is there is subtle differences between them. yeah. that there's actually quite a big. okay, so the real differences, let's take a quick because it's a bit coin you'd in the we, it's the most widely known crypt currency. so big coin when the payment process, what happens is the computer systems are more crypto people who nodes. so the computers isn't verifies that transaction happens is anonymous in the centralized, in the case of c, b c's that we're discussing. now, those nodes, those computer systems are centralized, are you, they belong to the,
1:29 pm
in this case of the central bank of russia. so they can make sure that there's no nefarious activity happening when those transactions are understood. can i put one point you that she might be shining at the screen right now? the point of crypto was to be get away from all prying eyes, etc. keep, keep, keep things as close to you as possible away from authorities. is there going to be an issue with that? is there going to be criticism? if it's coming on board with the central bank? i think a lot of the crypt account, c, maxima lists may not like where this is going. however, you know, this is a technology that is developing and evolving all the time. we want more and more. we want adoption, we will tell people to use or they, you know, unfortunately i think in order for more people to use things you are going to be the support of governments. and governments are going to need to have more oversight as to how these transactions occur. okay, it's a big discussion, isn't in the future, going to be where chris other countries are. they planning similar is russia to the
1:30 pm
oven guard of this? are they climbing of the box or somebody else, piggybacking? well, the rush is pretty far ahead. the fact that they've said they're implementing how the china was the 1st move back in april 2021 china, which is around the same time processing. april 2023. april 2021. china conduct what they call death public pilots. and now in china, the digital women b is used quite widely across china. so it's not the 1st, but it's definitely a brave move and also the bank of japan and out today that they're also going to launch the digital chinese one. at the same time the rosters. so i think we're probably going to see a whole vast riot countries moving in this direction. what's the prospects just finally on the of attack.
