sports and gaming, he tells us what's behind this synergy, and if it's the future with a headlines right now. what out to you to national u. s. president joe biden makes an unannounced visit to key f meeting with president zalinski and pledging yet another package of military aid. the ukraine. hundreds of projects was gather in washington, dc and riley dub rage against the war machine. they are ultimately expressing frustration nova u. s. involvement in the conflict in utrecht. also ahead for craniums they were planning to hold these positions for a long, long time. well, this particular sector, it fell in less than a week. the reports from the gone about frontline russian forces break ukrainian

defenses in and around the key city of artificial more on the western africa, national park in a fast so shifts focus, seeking cooperation with russia off the demand being the french military withdrawal is personnel from, with your monday well headlines here with alta international, a lot of movement and shaking, going on. it's good to have you with us. so the american president, us president joe biden making an, an unannounced visit to kiev, where we met with ukrainian president zalinski nearly a year after russia's special military operation began. now, in his statement on the visit to key f o, the u. s. president reaffirm washington's unwavering support to ukraine and pledge to send even more military a to the country. new package. what $500000000.00 is said to include high mars, i munition anti tank systems and radar systems as well. but vitamins varies. it

comes out of his sh shuttle trip to poland. one of the main proponents of western support for t f is the american lead, are set to deliver views on the ukraine conflict. when he arrives. we get more now with ought to contribute to his rachel most. u. s. presidential biden is set to give a tough guy, speech directed at russian president vladimir putin, and apparently figures that he needs to be within shouting distance from the russian border in order to do that. so poland is just as close to russia as ukraine is. and is certainly a lot safer, right now, given that it's one of the top military powers in europe and well by the needs a safe space which ukraine isn't. i mean, you loaded ukraine up with weapons. einstein, what did you think was going to happen? so this is global fire power index ranks, poland 3rd in europe, behind france and italy. now you might wonder, how could this possibly be given that poland g d p is much less than these other

western nations. well, american funding has been pouring into poland over the past few years. the u. s. congress approved $288000000.00 worth of foreign military financing last year, under the guise of countering russia. warsaw has also scored $34000000.00 in security assistance to improve intelligence capabilities and military mobility over the past 5 years. with $1200000000.00 in sales of u. s. defense articles to poland just between 20192021. that's according to the state department. so with washington playing sugar daddy, it's not exactly a surprise that poland is in lock step with washington strategy in ukraine. instead of saying that russia cannot win, or ukraine cannot be defeated, we should change the paradigm and say, ukraine must win. russia must be defeated,

germany in france. the economic and military powers of europe have at least tried at times to temper the gung ho washington rhetoric around the you frame conflict. frances president mac whole was lambasted by eastern european countries leaders and diplomats for at time suggesting that negotiations, including respect for russia, were the way to peace. but poland has been at the very forefront of pushing for increasingly heavier weapons for ukraine, including fighter jets and said earlier this year that they didn't care if germany was going to give poland authorization to re export. it's left for tanks to ukraine . they were just going to go ahead and do it anyway. warsaw as own anti russian rhetoric also routinely perpetuates the image that poland is in some kind of endless showdown with moscow. probably not promoted whose politician for a 123 years will cry. ports of poland on the sar is through one place. if someone

says ruskie mia? oh, meaning a russian world or russian peace up. we say absolutely no. europe anything but russia. i anything but the russian sphere of influence. so remarks like this, amplify washington's and nato's attempts to portray eastern europe as being under constant threat from moscow's sphere of influence. and what's the solution to that? well, more western weapons, troops and funding for poland. of course, last july, ukraine granted to all polish citizens the right to stay at work without a permit receive medical treatment and collect all sorts of benefits that is after poland. busy did the exact same thing for ukrainians? ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has even commented on the increasingly blurred lines between the 2 countries or what he calls the brotherhood becky east h t. mama. this is a historic moment. there was a historic strength between our nations, a historic unity between ukrainians and poles. mia,

so by the speech will no doubt touch on how the u. s. is leading the world on ukraine, meaning the western world, but hey, minor detail, right? and it's no coincidence that he'll be saying in front of the country or from the country, which aside from ukraine, is the most keen on doing washington's bidding. poland is basically at this point, the dutiful mistress waiting in the wings and being showered with gifts and cash biden time until washington gets tired of all the drama with ukraine and needs a new means gleese in its crusade against russia. president biden's visit to t if it does come on a grim anniversary for ukraine monday, mocking 9 years since the bloodiest event of caves. 2014 my dad in protests. and i turning point in ukraine's history paved the way for the current conflict to bring him all just a bit later in this program. quite over to america now,

where hundreds of people gathered in an anti war rally in washington, not basically expressing outrage, a u. s. involvement in the ukraine conflict. the rally was cold rage against the wall machine protesters that demanded an end to u. s. military aid for t, as in cold, for russia and ukraine to seek a peace agreement to resolve the conflict. the event featured speakers from across the political spectrum, including a former senator ron poll, x presidential, nobody, tulsa, gavin, and political commentators. jimmy dual labs, aside the host of via whistleblowers program, john kerry acco, observe the anti will protest on location. he gave us a rundown of the demonstrators main demo. i wanted to give you a little bit of an idea of what this event has been like today. first of all, it's much larger than i think any of us had expected. we've had a myriad of fantastic speakers, important people from across the political spectrum, the cost of the war machine itself is

a huge issue. it's not only the 100 plus 1000000000 ah, being spent to keep the war going. you know, it's also the cost of the war machine, which is now about $2.00 thirds of our discretionary budget. and just one more point about that, every dollar that's spent killing people effectively in ukraine. the political leaders that we have in the united states have totally decoupled from the american people, and they're not representing the needs and the wishes of the american people. you know, we see the train to rail meant and are the issues that we're having in america with inflation and the government is act actually operating on other motives such as, you know, maintaining world to germany. first and foremost, which only bill of the only really benefit the oligarchy. last the last 8 years, the military budget has gone up, but not only just doesn't go up, it's that congress gives them more than they asked for. they get their $48000000000.00 more in the buyouts requests. insane. i and, and you know,

it's just one fiasco after another. and what so frustrating here is that because the media, the corporate media functions as an echo chamber, it's that nothing is ever put in context and nothing. all the people around us who are the most educated people we know, you know, we live in the dc area, happen to be the most propagandized because they consume the most news under the banner of legacy publications like the new york times or washington post that they trust, we were told that ukraine had neo nazis, that were officially armed by the ukrainian military by congress. because they finally inserted in the 2018 and dia provision banning arms and training to the as a battalion. now we're told that the as a battalion or heroes and defenders and so, so offensive to me that nazis are being revered by a government that we port whose salaries were literally paying. another important thing that's being discussed today is, is the idea that here in america,

people aren't asking some of the most fundamental questions. why is there a nato? why do we need nato? why is there not a peace movement in congress? why is it that no one, including most of the american people, objects to the fact that 2 thirds of the federal budget discretionary budget goes to the national defense or what is really the national offense? these are fundamental questions that every american should be asking. we're hoping that because of these events today, this demonstration which is really something of an education for the american people, but those questions will be asked and answered in the coming presidential election . i'm john kerry, aka reporting for our tea in washington. so joe biden has just made a surprise visit to kiev, but hours before his arrival, ukrainian artillery attack killed a 12 year old girl in russia's western belgrade region. it is according to local

authorities to strike a coat in the village of no, via temple shanker. the regions governor said the girl had been in the street talking to her father on the phone when 9 artillery rounds slammed into the area or later another artillery strike on that same village killed a woman and wounded a man. a quarter of a local governor sang local the polk tree farm was also hit in the attack. now as the ukrainian military does continued a shell residential areas, a russian force is all making advances on the front lines that includes an offensive the city of out of trauma of school, so known as bach moose. and that is in the donuts republic. so open out to want is equal to shine off reporting from positions that recently taken by russia's wagner group forces of warning. you may well find some of this report disturb ah,

less than 12 hours ago, the entire territory of this cargo railway station was under the ukrainian control . well, now it's wagner's domain from north fenwick, from us, there was fighting here in the night military formations worn residential areas, machine guns and grenade launchers were firing here. sure. they had a great position for shooting our boat, but our guys took this railway area by storm when we would assume the enemy last about 40 soldiers, sort of a 100 of the others just ran away. and this ambulance on black military plates, which means it was officially on ukraine's army roaster was no aid or humanitarian vehicle. it was used by keep troops to deliver reinforcements and ammunition with a disguise. it's crew found their final rest right next to it, r o j,

mid gods go. these are us made weapons. they use this ambulances cover to deliver ammunition and food supply sovereign was, carol is very low. you are as quickly on gv, i so mercenaries from south africa here. and so i saw your instructors, germans polish ukrainians from the i dar and as of battalions as well as the re, cranium, paratrooper brigade. there was a strong group here. are you made up of all they've got, they didn't want to give up our, cham offscreen, the road we cut off was very important for them. they were using it to deliver ammunition and food also. but now that road is no more thorough as well as those mercenaries. well now you have to brace yourself for some truly grew so images, the defensive lies here in this building are held by you k mercenaries. this is one of them or what's left of one of them as they try to deliver 1st aid me clearly

failed. co school to come back is what wagner excelsior fighter, who was among those who stool this building shares with me. what kind of resistance they had to overwhelm? yes, machine gunners held up defenses in every stage, hearing those and they were even shooting inquiry doors to the door. it didn't help them though. shouldn't our guys know what to do to finish the entered the building the right way and covered each other? look, ah, the ukrainian command used this factory warehouse to shelter a tank ammunition crates are scattered all over the place. a roundly wagner fighters are telling me that the everything indicates that the ukrainians they were planning to hold these positions for a long, long time. but well,

this particular sector, it fell in less than a week. admissions of these are improved, some tank tracks spoke there. they made a trench probably for tank ammunition. they planned to hold this position for a very long time on the road and did a lot of preparation for that, but they managed to keep it for only 5 days. just uncle chance was what happened to the tank. i will talk over there tomorrow, kilometer and a half from here. it stir. it was blown off. here. russia has tightened the noose further on ukraine's garrison in bar moot. because all this is a prelude to the resounding crescendo of the fool of the city to the choo. wagner, i'm august done of reporting from the dumbass. r t. it's good to have your company today. a member of the russian parliament in charge of international affairs has warned the e u that its ally, america enforces neo colonial measures that are a threat to the european block security. as comments came off to you,

foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, asserted that african nations should be wary of strengthening their ties with an imperialistic power. i travel around the world and particularly in the countries of the south. i see how powerful is the russian narrative that wants to reduce the war in ukraine to a conflict between the west and rush is powerful, accusing us of double standard. we must debunk this narrative and explain how rush acts as an imperialist power. president macro referred to a neo colonial power. yes, it is. what it is. let's call it by its name. it is an imperial attitude from a powerful neighbor that wants to take control of some country that belongs to its political sphere. just been earlier, we were talking with our mozambique based and legal expert that of a will hardy us as well as an independent journalist lucas with a, a both said that russia's relations with african states based on equal partnerships . and that's a little bit troubling for certain professional powers in the west,

i believe is the one now propaganda rests in country, in particular, because we have a good relationship with russia. government in no, only mozambique, but of all countries in africa in particular. so that's why sometimes you know, that type of comment about the rest of the russia government right now in the new colonialist it's, it's from the other side. the side from the western countries were close to it. so if you see there were some countries that you need to wonder to make or to do their wonderful things in the african continent, but don't do anything. clearly, europe is losing its allies, people and in the global south are much more distant to european positions. when we say that, we want to defend universal values as mr. yet, but also he says,

worse than that, he says, we must prove that we, you repeat, continue to be a global actor. this is self per situation. he's not sure about it. we must remain a global actor. does that mean that we're not anymore? yes or mr. levels of trust? several travels and into african states has been a success. so clearly they trust rushmore. china more as well for the economy corporation nowadays, and not european powers because they know how it goes. you know, traffic is dead forever. that's what they repeat to process to mr. mr. mccall, who speaks of the fact that russia is an imperial power that wants to take own own, you know, to take to conquer its neighbors. and what did we do offer essentially, that's incredible. the western african nation, but it can, a foster has declared that all french troops must immediately leave the country.

that previous agreement for anti terror operations is over, the move comes amid rising as you french sentiment, as local residents pushback, calling the french operation bar cane of failure. here, thought the correspondent, with louis alone. this has been laid lowly quest for civilian society. since captain tori, why the september today? because whole of the country, mainly civilian society, organization. oh, over nice weekend after weekend demonstration to friends embassy to headquarter of the cb hope racial military camp in the headquarters in the suburb of work. i do go way say so they came to a decision a couple of weeks ago. the government can up fossil law to fight, to the gabriella phrase that they no longer need fresh troops in book, in

a parcel. mccula is looking for other papers, but all of these to a bridge way for russia probably so book, you know, fossil. ready went to moscow and a book killer has developed a partnership with washer interested in a. ready sense of a quick man, helicopters and pains a few knobs from washer and the army is more and more reactive when but he's a tourist at times because you have time. so can have fossil offense for a long time. friend says block, booking of fossil equipment coming from other countries, full mouth. we'll can i decided to not wait that friends make that decision about what type of a kid plan will command killer and say, is going to keep, go, push him human italian, a different plan, but not military because we'll kill

a said he laughs. easy laugh. meanwhile, as the u. s. president visits he of it is exactly 9 years since the deadliest day of the my dan protests and he ukrainian capital thousands killed more than a 150 wounded. now he's more in a quarter of a, takes a very close look at who was behind his turning point in the history of ukraine. this is how it was portrayed in mainstream media. unarmed protest is done done in the streets by the right police who were retreating from kiff, smythe, and square. i tied to his lines of security forces a short distance away. standing beyond the range of rocks and bottles, testers have home me shields and numbers. the police have water cannon and stung grenades, but this is what it looked like in reality. ah. after

3 months of confrontation on key of main square, the situation reached the boyland points, and the 20th of february, 2014, became the bloodiest they of them. i don lee been 49 dead and a 157 people wounded. this was the turning point. the protest could have died down, but they didn't. they got more violence. and the claim was that the violence was coming from the governments. a great way to foresee crane's president to succumb to protesters the mans, 9 years on and there are still no proof that government forces were shooting at protesters only evidence to the contrary. the sniper's firing were from buildings controlled by pro european protesters and based on forensic evidence, many of those who were killed and wounded were shot in the back or from significant

vertical angles. whereas the police were right in front of them, or on the same level at least earlier, the top to bottom direction of his wounds. his position in the video and findings from forensic medical examination about the location of entry, wounds in his right side and back, indicate gunshots from that hotel, and not from the bare crude ukrainian special forces in front of him. several other eye witnesses including other my don protesters, a medic, and a german journalist also said he was killed by a sniper from the hotel ukraine. in particular from the 7th floor. there is more, the bullets came from hunting rifles. guess what government forces didn't use hunting rifles, but you know, who did? that's right. the protesters, something that was even documented on mainstream media. conservative built several 100 meters away. who's firmly in the hands of the protest erection, just after 8 o'clock that morning, a news photographer managed to get into the building with his camera. when i come

inside, i will. so the guy, one come after me with jobs hunter, gun hunting rush. not exactly a clear picture, is it incredible, considering it's been 9 years, but what's more, incredible is the evidence that has magically disappeared. we must realize that the way the investigation was conducted unfortunately, did not give society answers to key questions. we have huge questions about the quality of the investigation. some materials simply disappeared, while in other points the investigation was sabotaged. this is the man who was adamant that the government control of the library and not my don leaders like himself. so where is the proof? no words to be found. apparently the shields at the helmets of those 2 were killed and injured. where are they gone? extract the bullets disappeared. recordings of live streams cc'd cv from hotel

krajina arrays. isn't that weird? even e u officials started wondering what was going on as we later found out from this leak phone call. it's really disturbing that know the new new coalition that they don't want to investigate what to expect to happen so that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers they were. it was not going to but it's a somebody from the new coalition and it's already discredit dates from very beginning. goes to this new college. yeah. it's really disturbing. bob, let's continue supporting them anyway. after all, the west had been egging them on for so long. victoria newland flew in 3 times and was literally feeding pro european protesters. us senator john mccain joined the party, encouraging protesters to keep going, agreeing with them, but their future is in europe no matter what their democratically elected president

wants or has decided to do. the people of mother, they know that the united states stand with you in your search or justin for human dignity. you got a curity or economic health and for the european future that you have chosen and the people use your moment. this is about, you know, or no, no one else really. then, why was the, was truly in ukraine's business discussing and planning who should run once we've all heard the leaks conversations where the west insisted on that sending. yes, a new, so become ukraine's new leader. and sure enough, there guy was installed and traveled to washington right away. so the crowds in the

key of and the folks in washington got what they wanted. a pro western governments would know twice to russia. a scary prospect for those who crane these, who aligned with russia linguistically, historically, and culturally so they up to the st often meets in a brutal consequence. like the massacre in odessa were almost 50 of them were trapped in the building. that was such a blaze. burning them alive. this of course cemented clearly, the hatred between the 2 sides realized that keith had decided to our fate without asking us. they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union and russia. the things that were going on and key disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that crimea detached and joined russia. the civil war and on bus started and need

so began arming the key of regime with civilians terrorized for years. now let's take a moment to remember john mccain's words and key. if once again you are sure you want for your country. this is just the future you do this or what is this what he had in mind? surely the wife didn't expect rossa to allow a puppet regime to terrorize it, civilians and arm up along its borders with hopes and dreams of being part of nato . every action has a reaction, and that was actions point to the fact that my don was a gateway. so a war was russia. that is an enlightening report from the marina closer over there . of course we were covering the my down protests here on our fee and when those snipers started shooting from the rooftops and shooting the people there, everything changed just so much. was countless report saying that many of the bad accidents came from countries far away from your brain. they were meddling and

ultimately making things worse for my dad. you saw john mccain a victoria at noon and having a concert and handing out freedom. cookies right? don't use return the top of the, oh well, you know, no one person could have predicted the course of the conflict and you. but here we are. on this edition of the program, we reflect on the last 12 months how as the conflict changed, russia, ukraine, the west, and indeed the world with

a chicago, with wild land where no loss stands. but chicago is actually the home to many people that stand with us and buy with us on this issue. we have to just continue to listen each other come together because the way that they're fighting this issue is different than the way partner license issue. but if we continue to come together, we can just save lots are you last time we are going to fix this and we saw that many people who call kids.
