12:05 pm
love an irish m e. p. has lush starch out the european parliament for its quote subservient behavior to the u. s. in light of recent revelations or by the north stream explosion. a surprise winning reporter seymour hersh. probably the most legendary investigator journalist alive just published a report that presents detail claims that on president biden's orders to us with norway's help blew up the north stream. pipelines does the yield care, these need to know who did it, or do you want to know her says the u. s. did it, did you ask him, did you ask him to do it? or are these asked him questions any more? have we become saw? subservient, has the you become so subservient to us empire. i just, i didn't ask him at the dentist. while seymour hersh investigation was published earlier this month, breaking down in detail because he said was behind september's at tax on the
12:06 pm
pipelines. the pure letter award winning journalist report concluded the u. s. use the cover of annual nature. naval drills in the baltic sea to plant fee for explosives on the russian infrastructure and then destroy it in collusion with norway. the reason being, he believes both countries are big energy suppliers and wanted to take over the lucrative e u market for themselves and cut european economic ties with moscow. the writer later out of it, but he seriously does washington will ever admitted guilt over concerns of future business culture and the last thing, the white house, look, i'm telling you they're never going to say they never got to say i surrender. they're just never going to do it because they can. so they're going to keep the story going and they'll put the pressure people not to talk. and it won't matter that people talk like there are other people. there's. there's are community in the pipe lane business. they know what happened, but they,
12:07 pm
they're not going to talk because they want to keep on getting contracts. and earlier my colleague research, she spoke to independent journalist joe loria, who interviewed seymour herse, after his bombshell report came out with a tough interview. he's well known to be a difficult man to deviate because he goes off on a lot of tangents. but they're all very interesting, but he says, but to 0 in on something new about the his article was difficult because he's working on another piece. he's doing a follow up. but seymour was very forthcoming and a lot of areas would you think hope is in a tough position or if you're going to get threats. so has he been getting any threats to think? no, he's not in danger because they just ignore everybody's ignoring it. like it didn't happen. whitehouse denied it. no reasons denied. it was a white one. western media white, 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,
12:08 pm
are towards government officials. you know, i worked for 25 years and 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. irish m. p mc wallace. a. he says the use behavior is subservient in the wake of understanding, essentially who blew up one of the biggest energy pipelines. do you think subservient is the right word here, joe? oh yes, we already knew this and you were western, your backs is a vassal look at germany all up shows. the chancellor stood next to biden in february of last year. was it sometime last year just before the invasion? and he said if that, if the invasion of your crane occurs, we're going to shut down nord stream to it. i also hit north street one and he was at how can you do that? if germany controls by said we don't worry,
12:09 pm
we can do it. we, we had other official saying similar things and showed said nothing. he stood there, he allow his pipeline to be blown up. they have to know the u. s. did it is no of the suspect. but why, why, why do they seem so afraid to say something to, to push back to joe? well, 1st of all, they're still u. s. troops in europe to look at the entire post more history with only childs the goal when you stood up to nato and take them out. and france withdrew. during the area of the lead up to the rock of a 2003, germany and france joined russia and china to vote against their resolution to authorize the invasion of iraq. those are the only 2 times in 506070 years now, where western european leaders decided to go against united states look at my call . and he said in a conference that he didn't believe in regime change in, in russia. he didn't believe a huge, always talked about an unsecured architecture in europe, and then he does nothing. so at least he speaks, even shouts made some good noises at the beginning that we have to accommodate
12:10 pm
rochard abs, security, interest. they do nothing till their instincts might be good and they get pulled back. don't ask me that because i don't know what they have on the these people. they could destroy them. maybe they're political careers. who knows what else, but the united states has complete dominance in europe. they are hurting the german economy. they're hurting your economy because of the sanctions that have not heard . russia were to heard in europe and european just stand there and change it. instead of being independent sovereign block, that could have good relations with russia and united states. this is what we need and this is what we don't get jewelry on the program there. okay. another story we're across to day syrian officials already dealing with the aftermath of last week's deadly earthquake. say at least 5 people have been killed and 15, more wounded in, in this really missile strike on damascus. with authority, say a residential apartment building was struck in the center of the nation's capital.
12:11 pm
the out most of the incoming missiles were intercepted, but some members to had a number of points in and i run the city this residential building was directly hit with a number of other nearby buildings. damage to it was the 1st major attack on sirius in the series of quakes earlier this month, devastated northern parts of the country killing thousands there. i'm been laboring tricky here at damascus based journalist centers. an official military and a statement that what happened was that about $22.00 a m local time. there has, there were the new radio aggression radio that carried out the right targeting areas in and around the syrian capital, la, damascus. soc happened from the direction of the occupied, the golan, and as a result of the attack, as these 5 people were killed, one of them is military personnel and 15 others injured. now, of course,
12:12 pm
most of those are civilians. you can see just behind me as there was a run. so building in an area called jefferson's in the heart of the capital, damascus. and this is a very big hole that was caused by the israeli messiah that's landed right over here at the instance of this residential building. now, despite the fact that this quarter, yes, includes a government establishment like the ministry of interior, the prime minister's office. yes. this area in particular is only areas that i'm from one where i am standing at the people woke up hearing the course they didn't know for is it 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 to lap towards the building close to this area. there is an iranian cultural center, but it has not been damaged or effected nor attack directly by the aggression.
12:13 pm
behind me is completely a residential area. and this is why we have to wait and see if there will be any from the out from the radio side to tell the world why they attack this sign up. let's think that these radio always use pretext of attacking iranian targets in syria and a bit to try to justify it for the international community. it's a violation of sovereignty attack, but civilians and military personnel in theory yet. but at the end of the day, when we go to areas hit every time, it's either a syrian army or it's a civilian area. it's not a secret that yes, there are uranian military advisors assisting the through an army in 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 $3.00 and $5.00 asked for helps from its allies. but what
12:14 pm
is illegal? what is against international law? what is against the sovereignty is a talking. it's sovereign, they attacking a country that has just come out from a massive earthquake. people are suffering already and they're suffering well, israel has yet to comment on this situation. just to point out that's of the syrian foreign minister has called the aggression quote, a crime against humanity. moscow's also condemned. these really strikes, leaving them unacceptable, as other countries actively help damascus deal with the consequences of the recent earthquakes. earlier we discussed the a talk with independent judge journalists on the bundle in day on political analysts 1st tell him if he out trying to get the most some of the most important syrian military facilities to weaken that theory and automate and to weaken that. she then states of a part of your, i mean i mean civilians, food and there's a great difference when you are talking about it's talking about saving it to be
12:15 pm
pepsi that these so those lies and they want only to justify the aggregation again area. and this really happens again, another thing, israel and they never said truth in their western media outlets. and they always excuse israel if they use something inside syria and going over time, ready, perhaps they approve what israel doing inside. and of course, i ran into a party, a space in many years already for the west, even though they try to make some piece of piece, but negotiations about their are coming for. okay. so yeah, never any. so let's hope it will. and now an annual summit of african union countries is wrapping up in ethiopia with hopes to strengthen economic integration on the continent. the focus, 3 western african nations aren't there though are keno felt. so guinea and molly,

12:18 pm
$1300000000.00 people with a combined gross domestic product of $3.00, part $3000000.00. i've got is important because we need and, and then to great said the community to solve the program of god. so the importance of scott is to bring, i'll click on the countries together to share i just and 6, the way to develop the country and if new initiative, new projects and does when i was going up to the country club, i'm sorry for the trade all the about 50 percent off goods and a service with each other there compared to more than 65 percent with european country and you want the bank is steady state. the agreement is expanded on that plan. it will balance policies of investment, competition,

12:20 pm
african country that members gave all that fun. and it was got to be regarded by that because i'm funny. but other there won't be venue close taken. there was an agreement that just to be revisited. why? because also most of the frenzy on the side of the job them all the summit kicked off with a scandal. a senior is really diplomat. the countries deputy director for african affairs was kicked out of the opening ceremony amid a dispute about her accreditation videos circulating on social media show security
12:21 pm
escorting the figure rights of the assembly. some of the official said, i'm a really own boy, had been invited just not that one. israel's observer status in the african union has been a thorny issue in recent years with some member states that posing its present israel condemn the diplomat. removal accusing south africa and algeria of fueling a diplomatic spot. it will summon south africa envoy to discuss the issue this week and laid significant blame and another country around it is sad to see that the african union has been taken hostage by a small number of extremist countries such as algeria and south africa, driven by hatred and controlled by iran, we call an african countries to stand against these actions that harm the organization of the african union itself in the entire continent. while among the reaction we got to the story was a former south africa national assembly member who told this that he believes all
12:22 pm
african union state should come together to revoke israel's observer status. well, it's in the races about using the language to cells on its own identity before covered. so i would hope that don't be a good fit on united after the voice on the undermining of the so, but any president and the african, juicing african people, it is how i hope that we will have to actually show that escorted the delegation out of the conference would be endorsed by the entire and ticket national fisheries products and all that they from the african continent and sort of
12:23 pm
the institutions particular, we hope that there'll be no more indication extended to government. i guess something else to tell you by today, indian government has accused the bbc of tax evasion thing the british state broadcast failed to pay sufficient duties on its income in the south asian country . during the course of a survey, the department gathered several evidences which indicate that tax has not been paid on certain remittances which have not been disclosed as income in india. the allegation come amid rising tensions over a controversial documentary by the b b. c. about india's prime minister and rendered moody in the reports, noting a hindu is accused of discriminatory policies against muslims, a spokesperson for his political party insist that the tax cases, not
12:24 pm
a retaliation for those claims. the b b, i've been doing a lot ation of consistent violation of pricing. it's been indulging in in, in a sense been what we could call and the doc see region taken off topics done putting it link. oh finance. to my go, that goes about compliance with docs in this country. documentary, which is based on 2 based on a one convenient no to basra financial mishandling or should in the next thing that it is linked to some documenting centrally shows up when no one has the cast to go really denied that there's any link between the b b, c, document 3 or a 2002, we do all of that. in fact, we spoke about our prime minister in the will these role in the community itself.
12:25 pm
but then of course, he was the chief minister of withdraw the adapt documentary and currently the surveys that are being carried out. she also says a both the new delhi as well as moved by what they're saying is that this is government notary acting out of revenge as it is being pointed out in several publications. even the opposition in india on expected lines really doing that. but essentially what, what he's saying is that the government have to do that, even if they 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 see is the b, b. c avoids being employs and shown stacks 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 silvey is conducted by the docs department, it is carried out only when there are repeated violations. so the question being
12:26 pm
off is why did b b c nor respond to all the notices that were being sent to them? remember at this stage, the tax, the baltimore, the docs officials, are calling get us. so are we not a read or a surge air in my vision, which is all for now while i was the national spokespersons of the park, the agent body, he's categorized guy categorically. denied any link between the b b c documentary. and these surveys that are being carried out was essentially they're saying is that nobody know broadcaster is above the law of the land that you've a foreign company is working in india. they have to comply. * by the rule, by the tax rules, and if you're not doing that, that india have the right to conduct. so we've the so called rates as they're being called on the company being slammed washington saying the
12:27 pm
u. s. is trying to use china as a scape goat in order to turn attention away from its own domestic blunders. the asian nation said washington stirred up on warranted hysteria surrounding the chinese balloon. incidents in order to deflect public attention from an environmental disaster that occurred in ohio following a trained dominion 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 vinyl chloride mushroom cloud over ohio. western media outlets were quick to hype the balloon incidents, numeric, and forces. in fact, shock drawing the object after it cross us are a space alleging of was a spike craft beijing stresses the aircraft was simply a weather instrument that blew off course. later when several other on identified flying objects were spotted over north american aerospace, they were also taken by heat seeking. sidewinder missiles,
12:28 pm
president biden later admitted the balloons were most likely tied to private companies studying the weather. with even an american hobby group saying one of their tracking balloons had gone missing. at the same time. the u. s. or a force intervenes. well, that story made headlines. you remember for many days state side just as a trained or real meant in eastern ohio, cause a huge release of toxic chemicals into the year on the sort of officials then set the remaining chemicals of the site on fire. and what they describe does that control burn to prevent further contamination that sent a pin of thick black smoke into the sky. a little later, the state governor said it was safe for residents to return to their homes. but local fear, they're not being exposed to the true here i thought i was getting any answers. then i got hopeful that i was going to get it. but i feel like it was just a big run around. like i feel like
12:29 pm
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 is just answers. i honestly feel that the policy in the, 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 from tumbling of the ohio disaster has spurred a slew of internet means with some criticizing authority for intentionally setting the toxic chemicals a blaze. others directly mock joe biden playing off a u. f. o rhetoric, i'm suggesting he could have been abducted by aliens. we heard from asian, the 1st specialist, nelson wong, who said country should strive to solve their own problems or not use other issues to distract attention. it is getting a hysterical in a sentence by making such
12:30 pm
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 calling it a chinese bible or doing surveillance, which is really quite ridiculous. the government's will have to, to stand up and deal with the problems they are facing instead of calling on other countries to, to cover up the decades after gaining their independence. some african countries still find themselves in the grip of european nations by economic and political pressure. so despite helping mineral resort.
