12:01 pm
seymour hersh double died on his investigation findings into america's role, and then north stream type lie next door. stating washington will never admitted scaled responsibility for the last thing. but why don't you look? i really never gonna say they're never gonna say, i said they're just never gonna do it. nigerian authorities call up on finland to stop by not the government active. it uses of inciting on rest in the african country from abroad ahead of next week. presidential electric with broadcasting from moscow to the world. this is our take. great to have your company today. my name's unit rushes. once again, fund itself, something of a punch bag out the unit security conference over the conflict in ukraine. the
12:02 pm
annual event in germany, which is into its 2nd day draws together world leaders to discuss global challenges and threats, but on the streets outside the venue. thousands of protesters have flooded the streets to voice opposition up in military rhetoric. being used ortiz, dominic re shirt reports from there in munich. the protests against the security conference have turned out to be a much larger than even the police originally expected. well above 10000 people, maybe even above 20000. and that was only possible because there are lots of different groups that mobilized for this protest. we have the left brain groups right wing groups as well. if covet skeptics, they all came together on this day and set aside their differences because there's one common interest that they have and that is a peaceful solution to the conflict and ukraine. they are demanding to stop the
12:03 pm
delivery of arms. and so they are showing a clear sign that there's still a lot of people in germany and across the world who are not agreeing with that aggressive politics and who want a peaceful solutions instead of earlier my colleagues research shayhan marina culture of disgust, the security conference on the protest surrounding it's not the 1st time you know has seen protests in the last couple of weeks last time we saw germans come out and mass was when the german chancellor made that you turn made that decision to after all, you signs advance military tank see ukraine continue arming, delancy and he has regime and also right now these processes while they're there because we know that there is the munich security conference. so the world, so political at least is their lease and how to ensure security. and at the same time, we have the house of people outside who are afraid or half of them are more than half our rate that these decisions that they make. and those plans will,
12:04 pm
could lead to world war 3. because what we've seen so far is that they continue and continue to press countries to continue arming as the lensky and so, for example, here what was seen is that russia is the whole topic of the munich security conference. and we've seen time and time again that the main aims seems to be defeating russia at any cost to power won't be depleted. if they're degrading rational forces, they are increasing all security, and putin must not win this war. you will be held to account ukraine. we will receive plains. it's a matter of time and procedure because it's about our values and our very existence we are fighting for. and these are countries i have set time and time again. we are not in a direct conflict with russia. we have nothing to do with it, and then they go not, not even behind the scenes anymore. they just go out there openly calling,
12:05 pm
send them more weapons, send them more weapons, and they manage to convince all of salt. who made that huge then decided to, after all, because he was hesitant at 1st and then he decided to supply those weapons. it's all lots of protest. i mean, which is, i just spoke about it. but then there was a little bit of an awkward moments at this conference already, which is when they asked of salts, how he feels because he went on and supplied those weapons, agreed to it. but now he's all along. now you seem to be in the position of having to persuade all those other countries that we're trying to get you to send the leopards or let their levers actually send them. why? oh, there is a question. i have to talk to others. especially those who were so much sure, urging me to act in a special way. i wonder if you did their have a chance to ask them why they were urging him in a certain way as he said, and they did and follow suit and are they planning to follow suit?
12:06 pm
he seems to be a little bit nervous there about the fact that germany went ahead and made that big move and big deal because these are very offensive weapons that we're talking about now. what else was discussed mainly about weapons, rory? so they were saying, okay, which weapons as ukraine? mr. what kind of weapon should we produce moral? what kind of, i mean nation are they lacking? what do we need to do? which is of course, music to the ears of america's military, industrial complex as well. now, they've been making a lot of money from this and they stand to make even more. and china seemed actually to be the only voice of reason so far were heard from china as a foreign minister, who said that by sending ukraine more and more weapons, they are basically the west is adding fuel to the fire box. the conversation reached the new low when we heard from european leaders. now addressing the fact that russia is that right now, not only in ukraine or in europe, but also in africa, in india. and even in the arctic this,
12:07 pm
we're not able to build stronger alliances with india, with all palmers in asia. as you said, dns in africa, in other places of the world, we will lose, i think, the global war on values. russia covers half of the articles, and i have also said that if we lose the arctic because of climate change, we lose the globe. i think this really reveals what they're really afraid of and what they're really afraid of losing their perceived western dominance around the world. they want to get rid of russia, absolutely, everywhere, just in case as they say that russia starts to attack or poses a new threats, you know, meet. meantime, the standard of living across europe is dropping energy bills to the roof. people on fixed pensions. they haven't got any money to pay for these kinds of military, military and coach on from so for example, people can afford the everyday bills,
12:08 pm
but that governments can afford to send billions of euros and weapons to ukraine. let's not forget, this is a great distraction. they can always say, well, it's rushes to blame. the reason why you can pay your gas bills, for example, is because russia is to blame. so you can make out russ. it's with the bad guy a lot. well, a wave of anti war sentiment and also reverberating across the atlantic with the rage against the war machine march taking place on sunday in washington d. c. now in the latest episode of going underground ocean returns, he talks with american political commentator jimmy door who will speak out the event to our claims. most people in the u. s. don't know what's happening in ukraine and other parts of the world as u. s. corporate media giants push their propaganda. you can watch the full interview throughout the day here in rti, in fact, in around 20 minutes time. it's also on r t dot com. the people in the united states have no idea what's going on in
12:09 pm
ukraine or what's going on with china. and what's even worse is they have no idea that they have no idea what's going on. and so they're fed war propaganda. 247 from there talking heads on the corporate media that's owned by people who want more. so the war machine is going strong and the anti war movement has been dead in the united states. and so what we're doing tomorrow at the lincoln memorial is which anybody who's against these wars, it's time to start an anti war movement again in the united states. i get on stage in comedy clubs in america. and i say, you know, we sent $100000000000.00 to ukraine. i just wish we'd send 100000000000 dollars to the united states and people cheer because they see what's happening. they see that there's people living under every bridge. we can solve homelessness and america 3 times over with the money we send to the war machine for ukraine.
12:10 pm
yes, mentioned a full check can be watched here in around 20 minutes time. no. washington will never acknowledge it's guilt. that is the message from award winning american journalist seymour hersh, who saves the u. s. is too worried about its business contract to ever accept responsibility for its part in brewing up the north stream pipelines. the last thing, the white house look, i'm telling you they're never going to say they're never going to say i surrender. they're just never going to do it because they can't. so they're going to keep the story going and they'll put the pressure people not to talk. and it won't matter when people talk, look, there are other people. there's a, there's a community in the pipeline business that they know what happened. but they, they're not going to talk because they want to keep on getting contracts. i don't think of any investigation at all, and there might be one if there will be an investigation, it will be quite faith. and they'll say that they'll blame russia because we always blame russia. the u. s. is not going to open its book,
12:11 pm
not going to doors. it's going to hide all the information or destroy the evidence, or burn the evidence. and nobody's ever going to speak the u. s, controls the flow of information and can blackmail and destroy anybody with the information that it has against different people. so everyone is an atmosphere of fear in the west. like life here is good until you start speaking up against the again, the white house against the government. and then you will have problem. you have lots of problems. and if you have a lot to lose, like imagine a big business, you want a big business. you can lose your entire business empire. naturally, i see a lot of come countries are sympathetic towards russia and china. but the u. s. is mobilizing enormous amounts of financial economic pressure to control the other countries and to try, try to bring them to its side. what her, she is doubling down on the revelations he exposed earlier this month regarding september's at tax on the pipelines. his investigative report concluded the u. s.
12:12 pm
use the cover of unusual nato naval drills in the baltic sea to plant the explosives on the russian infrastructure, and then destroy it. inclusion with norway, the motive being he claims both countries are big energy suppliers and wanted to take over the market for themselves and cut european economic ties with mosque. we'll see more hearse also hit that us strategy and washington failure, the head off. the conflict in ukraine describing their actions and less than flattering terms. it was suicidal to think you could win that war, that ukraine could win the war. there was just too much corruption. it was a very, very bad decision. we should've been pushing for peace. we should have made an agreement with with we should have gone right away, but it's just silly not to right away to assure the russian government that we were not interested in in making a ukraine,
12:13 pm
a member of nato natal didn't mind ukraine anyway because of the corruption, and there was just so many bad mistakes made and i didn't. it's impossible to believe how just dumb this leadership was. it's just dumb, mr. is right, it's certainly very stupid, but there is a plan. we have to be very aware that these people are shimmy dangerous. i mean, this foreign policy, lee and washington extremely dangerous people. so it's a matter we should not dismiss and simply as to bid the foreign policy leads in washington. it's the level of arrogance that you probably, we haven't seen a long time in human history. certainly not all. russia does not have expansion, ambitions, like any great power. it wants to control its border area. that's a normal rule of your politics. anyone who's ever studied your politics noticed? that's how empires work are great, powers work. you know, one thing i also want to add is why i thought climate change is the great existential threat. and if that's true, should we all be cooperating? should we be making peace or rush in china and saying, come on guys,
12:14 pm
we got to fight climate change in. we're not, we're instead we're making more constant more we're throwing gasoline on the fire. so what does that tell you? those, your 1st of the climate change is not an exit existential threat. and it tells you that washington just was born in conflict to the conflict in ukraine were missile strikes, helping reported in at least 2 regions in the country. an attack was confirmed by the local authorities of the western region of hamil need speak explosions are all reported in the southern city of cream. voy raj with power outages reported in other areas across ukraine as well. when it comes, after some substantial development on the dunbar front lines, russian troops aligned with wagner. group fighters have secured a strategic village near the city of arch, and also also known of buck moot. the ukrainian health city is located in the den. yes, republic wall of the territories, the last year voted to join the russian federation. the latest advanced by russian

12:18 pm
we cannot in any way condone calls for stopping the conduct of elections, or any actions aimed at preventing people from exercising their democratic rights. every individual has the right not to vote, but actions aimed at preventing others from doing so are clearly not acceptable learned. we spoke to former nigerian presidential hope for a demo garbo who sees the activists is fueling violent extremism ahead of national elections. on the west is choosing to ignore it. was checked into this room, democratic process in the coming to let you know the someone in just some good group didn't. this is not you want to be sure that you active you. oh, i'm doing good. why do i still everyone up with a weight? it's a 5 legal official. i'm what i'm does it the most democratic differences in not not doing more than one or what's been started. democracy on this one is living,

countries you mentioned for small amounts and the country has a lot. the safety is over that piss. those people only come back when they're old, the same, the big may be on can be taught. where did they say or something when they're in their prime their ticket. so those people must combine that flu. what? see if they get to me was we have train these people and put in a lot of money. so i do not apologize. we need to be combined, fitted for those services they did from our people. since this all been african country obtained it's independence in 1918 from british colonial road. zimbabwe has trained more than a 100000 teachers and doctors, most of which have left for greener pastures in western countries. a development
12:21 pm
that has left a huge get in the country's help and education sector. zimbabwe is dealing with a lack of specialists and crucial spheres with 4000 to having left the country to work in the u. k. alone, in the past 2 years. as of today, the country has just 3500 doctors for a population of 15000000. we got reaction to the story from the capital heroic. our schools of missing and medicine are not producing as much excess as is happening in vegas. and the fact that said, we still have a pool of qualified, misses, but unemployed. and this is why going qualify. because if you are going to get 4 or 5 times what you getting now, i'm at all part. so tick you are. you are tempted just to why instead the foreign market, we are losing quality to us. it said that the new teachers that are coming in may not be of december resilience and quality is compared to the pitch as of yesterday
12:22 pm
. ok, staying with stories from the continent i bridge women have been making a stand against sexual violence on murder. in the democratic republic of congo, eastern city of gorman, hundreds of demonstrators marched through the streets of the m. 23 insurgent group in the region. house displaced persons from their homes of wages, a war with governing forces. protesters say in recent years, some 400 women have been killed by insurgents. and more than 100 race, demonstrators demanded the attention of the international community to help with their plan. here that you know, we have been displaced in our own country. our children are sleeping in terrible conditions. we are demonstrating here to ask am 23 to return to their home. so we can return to our village. and so our children can return to their school. we live
12:23 pm

12:24 pm
despite their death suspension, hop hindered regional and international top for returning to the civilian room in the 3 hall mission the south melissa, out of the suburb off, well participant, the african union summit shared their perspective on the prospects of broader corporation on the continent. verbal issue. 33 and the area among members of african union has significant importance if they are integrated with economy these by itself, or bring us about peace in the stability among member nations. and they can use their much, they're not trying to resource locally, just by exchanging experience. and also they may bring about they may develop or they may improve their own economy can stand down to by,
12:25 pm
by working together. i think that's important to them because africa is richie continent. lots of material. i don't know. well, what can i do? let's be case of but. ready people live in the pool and i think that if a day for the country do it for me or is it possible to put food to get up to get up in the country, the economy? i think i think to things like this down finally, this news are interesting times ahead in the finance sector here in russia, the central bank has confirmed plans to launch a pilot project in april to test a digital ruble in more than a dozen banks. earlier i discussed the development of our
12:26 pm
t contribute our chris ends. after look at this comment from the central point, we plan to launch a pilot stage of the digital ruble project on april 1st with transactions between individuals and payments and trade and service enterprises. at this stage, i would like to draw your attention right away that the pilot will be based on real operations, real clients, but on a limited number of operations and on a limited number of clients. with 13 banks that have already technically confirmed their readiness. for the technologically adverse like myself. what's a digital rebel? yeah, that's a great question. unions to really a digital variable is not ready for for the common use. there is no real different than the variables you have in your bank account, old 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, you will have to account for every one variable that is in the bank to the roubles that are actually in circulation. let's take a quick because it's
12:27 pm
a bit poignant in the we, it's the most widely known, encrypt so currency. so big point when the payment process, what happens is the computer systems and crypto people who nodes. so the computers isn't verified, that transaction happened is anonymous in the centralized, in the case of c, b, the fees that we're discussing now, those nodes. so those computer systems are centralized, are you, they belong to the, in this case of the central bank of russia. so they can make sure that there's no nefarious activity happening when those transactions, all prost understood. i think a lot of the, the current c, maxima lists may not like where this is going. however, you know, this is the technology that is developing and evolving all the time. we want more and more. we want adoption, we know people to use or that, you know, unfortunately i think in order for more people to use things you are going to be the support of government. and governments are going to need to have more oversight as to how these transactions occur. what difference bring me going with my debit card and paying for things with a digital river? what is the plan difference?
12:28 pm
yes, so really absolutely nothing for you is to use the union. 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 a 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 goods. 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 reading the, the white paper from russia central by saying yes, 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 if you've ever been on an airplane and you have 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 it. so what happens is when the plane lands that transaction is then processed by on a sheet, it will probably be
12:29 pm
a similar mechanism. chris, other countries, are they planning similar, is russia to the oven guard of this? are they climbing in the box or somebody else? piggybacking, well, the rush is pretty far ahead. the fact that they've said they're implementing how as a china with the 1st move, the back in april 2021, which is around the same time russia thing. 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 bright 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 that rosters. so i think we're probably going to see a whole boss, ray of countries moving in this direction. okay. and entity really, really should stay with us for next commentator and broadcast our jimmy door is options. guest today on going underground on the american. he tends to do, does not inbox 1000?
12:30 pm
ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, i imagine retention. welcome back to going underground, broadcasting all around the world from dubai, in the united arab emirates. well position is growing in nato nations to the u. s. war on russia through ukraine, a year on from russia are responding to the shelling of don bass washington dcs. lincoln memorial to morrow, hosts rage against the war machine. calling for an end to you as interference in ukraine and the end of any us plans for war with china. one of those joining former u. s. presidential contenders in congress. people is legendary. comedian and host
