11:06 am
but if he said that in public what he did on our show that he'd be flooded, would email be and mails being accusing him of being a stooge of the kremlin center. the kind of typical thing people get. you have to look at the man's history. going back to me like massacre, you got to pull it for that. and then he revealed that the cia was domestically spying on u. s. activists. and then i will grab revelation. he's had the most consequential scoops in the last 5 decades. the man is as an impeachable background. now he provide a lot of details. he got a couple of them wrong, and people are attacking him. so he's been totally ignored by the mainstream media which he expected. of course i do believe that he's completely sincere. i believe he has a source. i don't think he would publish that without a credible source for you think oh shes in a tough position on. if you going to get threats or has he been getting any threats? do you think? no, no, he's not on the edge because they just ignore everybody's ignoring it. like it
11:07 am
didn't happen. whitehouse denied it. no reason and i did that. it was a white one with the media. why the western media being so quiet about joe? well, i talked to see more a lot of our interviews about the state of the media right now. and i was subservient use that word again. that corporate report is, are towards government officials. you know, i worked for 25 years in the mainstream media for the wall street journal for the boston globe. i note from the inside. we knew what we were expected of us to on. foreign affairs stories was to publish the official line and don't deviate from that. if you did, you're in trouble adapting a couple of times would be i had fight, you know, i had to pick my spot and occasionally slipped something in to the paper that they didn't want. but that was rare. so you know what your boundaries are and they're not going to go there. he's been demonized. he's been called a conspiracy theorist, a coke, you know, he used to be once. great, but he's gone now. he's same man. he's worked hard. he knows what he's doing. and he has a source, and as i just said, the only suspect was the u. s. now we've got somebody from within the
11:08 am
administration who has talked to him turning our attention now to that of the middle east, where a syrian official say at least 5 people have been killed 15 others wounded in on is railey missile strike on central, damascus. the authorities say a residential apartment building was struck the right in the center of the capital's official state. most of the incoming missiles were intercepted, but some managed to hit a number of points in and around the city. let's have a quick look at the, off them off this residential building right there. that's took a direct hit. the number of other nearby buildings also damaged. it was the 1st major attack on syria since the theories of deadly earthquakes devastated northern parts of the country and recently opened out the local john list mohammed ali an official military authority in a statement that what happened was that about $22.00
11:09 am
a m local time there were the new radio preston radio hotter up here out the right targeting areas in and around the syrian capital la, damascus. sock happened from the direction of the occupied, the syrian golden. and now the result of the attack at these 5 people were killed. one of them is that military personnel and 15 others injured. now, of course, most of those are civilians. i mean, what you can see just behind me is there was a building in an area called jefferson in the heart of the capital, damascus. and this is a very big hole that was caused by the israeli ma file that's landed right over here at the instance of this residential building. now, despite the fact that this quarter yet includes a government establishment like the ministry of interior, the prime minister's office. yes, this area in particular is only area that i'm from one where i am standing at the
11:10 am
people woke up hearing the course. they didn't know 1st is that an earthquake? it's a terrorist attack. they didn't actually realize it. well, 22 a m. what was actually happening windows rows, most of the balconies of those residential building collapse towards the building close to this area. there is an iranian cultural center, but it has not been damaged or affect the door attack directly by the aggression. this behind me is completely a residential area and this is why we have to wait and see if there are any details from you, from the radio side to tell the world why they attack this sign up. let's say that these radio always use precepts of attacking uranium targets and sir, yes, and a bit to try to justify in front of the international community. it's a violation of sovereignty to talk, but you know civilians and military personnel in theory. yep. but at the end of the
11:11 am
day when we go to areas hit every time, it's either it's theory, an army post or it's a civilian area. it's not a secret that yes, there are radian military advisors assisting the theory, an army and the war on terror. this is at the request of the syrian government army . it's not a secret, it's a legitimate right for the theory and find out for help from its allies. but what is illegal? what is against international law? what is against the sovereignty is a talking it's conference states a talking you can see that has just come out from a massive earthquake. people are offering already and they're suffering will and no work from tele viva. israel has yet to comment on the strike that says the syrian foreign minister has called the aggression quote, a crime against humanity. moscow was also condemned. the israeli stripes, calling them unacceptable as other countries are actively helping them out to deal with the off them off of the reason earthquakes earlier here at all. we did speak

in, in, in a sense it's been what we could call and leave the doc division of profit. i'm done putting a link of financial my go about compliance with taxes in this country. documentary, which is based on to, was based on one side and i mean, you know, to boss financial mishandling or should in the next thing that it is going to some documentary sensually shows up when i have cash to go really denied that there's any link between the b, b, c documentary or a 2002 visual prior of that. in fact, we spoke about the prime minister of all these role in the community itself. that then of course, he was the chief minister of good dropped off, adapt documentary. and currently the surveys that are being carried out. she also
11:20 am
says a both the new delhi, as well as a bomb by what they're saying is that this is government, nor to the acting out of revenge as it is being pointed out in several publications . even the opposition in their own expected lines, really doing that, but essentially what, what he's saying is that the government have to do that. even if they could have just done it way back. you know, they didn't have to wait for all these. we really also what they're trying to say is the b, b. c. avoid being employs insurance taxes by all frauding of them be their employees as free lancers, for example, and bdc has been a long time offender. and every time a sylvie is conducted by the docs, the boss, and it is carried out only when there are repeated violations. so the question essentially being off is, why did bbc nor respond to all the notices that were being sent to them?

11:22 am
instead of unwarranted hysteria surrounding the chinese balloon incident in order to deflect public attention away from an environmental disaster that occurred in ohio, following a train during vision when i'm kind yeah. how is it that the u. s. can see balloons flying at an altitude of 800000 meters, but it ignores a final chloride mushroom clouds. high on the western media outlets were quick to hype the balloon incident. american forces shot down the chinese balloon after across us as space alleging it. it was a spy. craft invasion has maintained all along the aircraft was simply a weather balloon. the blue, of course, later when several other unidentified flying objects was spotted over north american aerospace. they were also taken out by the us force of this all came amid a train irrelevant in ohio, that caused a huge release of toxic chemicals in the air on soil. a few days later, officials actually set the remaining chemicals at the side on fire and what they described as
11:23 am
a controlled and burned to prevent further contamination. because i just sent another plume of thick black smoke into the sky. a while later, the states governed. i said it was safe for residents to return to their homes, but locals fear that not being exposed to the truth here. i thought i was hopeful that i was going to get it, but i feel like it was just a big run around. like i feel like a lot of the questions that were asked for people's rantings and just speaking in circles, the answers that were given were things that we've already been told we all just want answers. i think that's what everybody here wants was just answers. i honestly feel that the policy in the police department, the fire department, all the 1st responders, they don't have the answers to give us because i don't think they know they're not getting the straight answers either. the government's handling of the disaster and
11:24 am
ohio as well spoke to sue of internet means with some criticising authorities, were intentionally setting that toxic chemicals ablaze. others mocking joe biden playing off the photo rhetoric and suggesting he could have been abducted by aliens . well, we heard from the vice chairman of the shanghai center of international studies nelson wong. he says that countries have to solve their own problems and not use others to distract it is getting a hysterical in a sentence by making such a big muscle the balloon incident on the international arena. what we see is that the u. s. government is making full use of this balloon incident to distract people, you know, by calling this balloon which is actually a whether analysis or whether study or web analysis. they are
11:25 am
calling it a chinese bible or doing surveillance, which is really quite ridiculous. the government's will have to, to stand up and to, with the problems that are facing instead of calling on other countries to to cover it up, spain has been accused of taking advantage of its position as a transport of ukrainian grain through the black sea corridor or wheat supplies, it was supposed to have gone to some of the world's poorest nations have reportedly ended up being used to feed pigs on spanish bonds here thought the contributor. rachel must remember all the talk about how critical it was to get ukrainian grain shipped out of ukraine to feed the hungry in africa and asia. well, according to the latest real time data published by the united nations black sea green initiative, joint coordination center, the top 3 destinations for ukrainian grain are china, spain,
11:26 am
and turkey. and those 3 countries alone represent 46 percent of all exports. so we're talking, all exports being roughly $700.00 plus shipments of grain. china acts as the gateway to asia and turkey acts as the gateway to africa. but what's the deal with spain? spain domestically produces more than enough of the grain that it needs to feed its own people with grain for people accounting for just about a quarter of all the countries domestic consumption, the rest of the grade and the country produces goes to feed its livestock. and notably, pigs, spain is routinely ranked as one of the top, if not the top port producing country in the entire world. which means that with all this grain being imported into spain, from ukraine, now it's hard to escape the conclusion that the countries literally pigging out on
11:27 am
ukrainian grain. and it's not like this is about making sure that cute little pigs roaming freely around the spanish countryside. don't go hungry, it's not about taking the food out of their mouths. more grain just basically means that more pigs can be churned out for poor to the economic benefit of madrid and ultimately to the european economy. which of course is great for europe. but when exactly was growing spain's pork industry used as a reason to unblocked ukrainian grain last month, spain was able to increase its meat exports by 79 percent overall. and that's in part due to its ability to meet china's demands, to sell a 124 per cent, more spanish port to beijing compared to the same period last year. again. wonderful for the spanish economy, but not exactly following the spirit or the letter of the deal to unblocked
11:28 am
ukrainian grain to feed. the poor. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly raised the issue of food from ukraine being misdirected. but i did give you a hearing over, was you my almost all grain is supported for you, but a trailer said not to the development poorest country. yes, but to the european union states, only 2 ships out of 87 were loaded as part of the u. n world are going to program, but i'd like to say that just like many european countries over premium or decades in century w, acted as colonizers which are so they continue to do so today with me. once again, developing countries were simply deceived willow. so just how much ukrainian grain is getting to the countries that need it most? well, collectively they're getting about 15 percent of the total export volume, which works out to roughly one percent each. but guess is proud of those efforts, spain. here's the status we're administer patting himself and ukrainian authorities
11:29 am
on the back last fall for their humanitarian initiative. green from ukraine. spain joins ukraine and the rest of its allies in this program, which is an honor, an immortal testament to ukraine's commitment against hunger in the world, even as it fights against russia's aggression and its indiscriminate shelling of export logistics infrastructure, which endangers millions of people who depend on ukrainian products, but hey, is hungry nations are getting a short changed on the grain. maybe they're at least getting some of the pork from spain after the pigs are done. stuffing their faces with it. apparently not. china is the top importer of poor, followed by japan and, and european countries like italy, germany and poland. so if the intent is truly to feed the hungry rather than just benefit europe economy, the current ukrainian rein scheme is really missing the mark. well this all comes as some african countries are facing a devastating famine. somalia, suffering from a long drought,
11:30 am
is now in the midst of what the british charity oxfam describes. that is one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history. over 700000 people, there are believed to be starving and several 1000000 are in need of urgent assistance. the other groups, such as the international rescue committee and action against hunger, have warned that another 1000000 people on the continent, including in nigeria, ethiopia, and south to done, are on the brink of starvation. we did hear from some residents of certain african countries about what they thought of the reported spanish actions and they're angry . the pigs and commercial interests are prioritized over the lives of stopping people, acting as disgusting, you know, for human beings to be starving. and then for the, for the president, although the priority to be pigs i think is completely unacceptable. what did they
