alyssa, and then you big the solicitor, you go that they should, i see that i think it's an open to she company that we're still a when are you with a headline to right now? what are the international there is the u. s. president joe biden, making a surprise visit to p. f, meeting with president nc, and pledging more weapons to new cray. hundreds of protests does gather in washington, d. c, in a rally dubbed rage against the war machine, ultimately expressing frustration, but u. s. involvement in the conflict in ukraine and also ahead for ukrainian and they were planning to hold these positions for a long, long time. well, this particular sector, it fell in less than a week out. the reports from the boss run line,

russian forces break ukrainian defenses in and around the key city of our film on those 2 in the program to western africa. nation of particular, fossil shifts focus, and now seeking cooperation with russia often demanding the french military withdraw. as personnel from a church, with no shortage of good news on this monday as a big named touches down in t f. today. it's the american president joe biden making a surprise visit to key f, where he met with ukrainian president lensky nearly a year after the start of russia's special military operation. after its photo up the u. s. president sat down and reaffirm washington's unwavering support to ukraine and pledge to send even more money and weapons. the new package worth $500000000.00 is said to include high mas lesson anti tank systems and the re

dos source. so biden's visit comes ahead of our schedule trip to poland. one of the main proponents of western support for key of a statement from the white house says the american leader will deliver an assessment of the conflict. ukraine. let's go get more now with aussie contributor is rachel most less 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 this is global fire, our 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 in to 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 us state department. so with washington, plains 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, my coal was lambasted by eastern european countries,

leaders and diplomats for at times 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 has own anti russian rhetoric also routinely perpetuates the image that poland is in some kind of endless showdown with moscow. probably my po, to lose politicians for a 123 years will cry, ports of pol into the sar is through one 1st thing that if someone says ruskie meter or meaning a russian world or russian pace 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 you 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 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 biden's 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, biding 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 the care have come was on a grim anniversary for ukraine. monday, marking 9 years since the bloodiest event of ki abs, 2014. by then protests. without turning point in ukraine's history paid the way to the current conflict will bring you a special report a bit later on this program, and it is very, very enlightened. for the meantime, i would, through america now where hundreds of people have gathered in an anti war rally in washington, d. c, expressing frustration the u. s. involvement in the ukraine conflict of the rally, cold rage against the wall machine. a protest was demanding the u. s. n military

aid for key evan coldwell, to both her for both worldly, decided to see some sort of peace agreement between russia and ukraine. risky of the event featured speakers from across the political spectrum, including former centers are ron poll, x presidential nominees, hulsy goblet, and a political commentator. jimmy dual, for the host of the whistle blowers program, john, he react you. he was at the protest and sent us this one. 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 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 that is, act actually operating on other motives such as, you know, maintaining world to gemini, 1st 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 in $48000000000.00 more in the byte house requests in saying 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, the 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, banding arms and training to the as a battalion. now are told that the as a battalion or heroes and defenders, and so it's so offensive to me that nazis are being revered by a government that we support, whose salaries we're 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 that because of these events today, this demonstration which is really something of an education for the american people, that 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 key f, but hours before his arrival, ukrainian artillery attack killed a 12 year old girl in russia's weston belgrade region. according to local officials, the strike occurred and the village of no viable shanker, the regions governor said the girl had been in the street talking to her father on the phone. when 9 artillery shells hit the area. while later, another artillery strike on that same village killed a woman, a wounded man,

according to the local governor, who also set a poultry farm, seemingly was targeted in the attack. now, as the ukrainian military does, continued a shell residential areas, rational forces are making advances on the front lines. the ministry of defense confirms taking in the village of perestroika, a stronghold north of the embattled city of cham off schools, who knows about mood. ah, it is eager to dan off now reporting from the positions recently taken by russia's wagner group. i should warn you, some of the footage is disturbing. 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 family, from north there was fighting here in the night meal to reformations. we're in residential areas, machine guns and grenade launchers were firing here. joe from they had a great position for shooting our boat, but our guys took this railway area by storm honeywood, through the enemy last about 40 soldiers out 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 america's go. these are us made weapons. the uses ambulances cover to deliver ammunition and food supplies were most care with

very low. you are asked leon. gov. i so mercenaries from south africa here. i saw us instructors, germans polish ukrainians from the i dar and as of battalions, as well as the ukrainian 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 oscar 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 is mercenary, so well now you have to brace yourself for some truly grew. so images, the defensive lives here in this building are held by you k mercenaries. this is one of them, or what's left of one of them close quarter comeback? is what wagner excelsior fighter, who was among those who stormed this building. shares with me. what kind of resistance they had too overwhelmed with machine gunners held up defenses in every

stage here in bozo, they were even shooting in corridors 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 around lean. 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. and wishes to these are improved some tank track stuck 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 just was what happened to the tank. i will talk over there about a 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 chew o wagner. a mac is done of reporting from the dumbass. ot see the member of the russian parliament in charge of international affairs has warned the e u that its ally, america, and forces neo colonial measures that are a threat to the european blocked security is comments came off to you foreign policy chief joseph barella soto, that african nation should be wary of straight thing that 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

warden 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. he was making a bit earlier on the program with most i'm big base legal expert. that of i will car the us as well as an independent journalist live a, a both said that russia is relations with african state. so based on equal partnerships, and that's why there are alarm bells ringing in the west. i believe is the one now propaganda rest 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, that type of the 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 have to need to wonder to make or to do their wonderful things in the african continent, but don't do anything. clarity, 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. sec. what else? as he says, worse than that, he says, we must prove that we, you repeat, continue to be a global actor. this is self. pers, you ation, he's not sure about it. we must remain a global actor. does that mean that we are 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 falls 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 about fossil has declared that all french troops must immediately leave the country as that previous agreement for anti terror operations is now over the move, though, it does come the mid rising anti french sentiment as local residents of pushing back, calling the french operation bar haine. a failure is also correspondent with louis along reporting. this has been laid lowly quest stock for civilian society.

since captain tori, why been september today? because whole of the country 1000000 civilian society organization. over nice weekend after weekend demonstration to friends embassy to headquarters of the cb hope racial military camp in the headquarters in the suburb of work. i do go way say so. they came to the 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 poplars. but all of these to a bridge wave for washer probably so booking of fossil. ready went to moscow and book killer. hey philip. a partnership with washer interested in

a sense of equipment helicopters and paint a few knobs from washer. and the army is more and more reactive when a task because you have time. so we'll get a parcel of sales for a long time. friend says blocker, booking of fossil quippman coming from other countries, full mouth, we'll kill, has decided to not with friends, make that decision about what type of a kid plan will command killer and say he's gonna keep corporation humanitarian different plan, but not military because buckler said he laughs, isn't laugh as the u. s. president visits key as it is exactly 9 years since the deadliest day of the my dad protests in the ukrainian capital with thousands kelvin more than a 150 wounded. it was ultimately that pre cursor to essentially where we are today

. i would strongly encourage you to have a good look at this report. marty's marina carter ever, it is disturbingly in light. 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 gifts. my dan square, i tied to hit lines of security forces a short distance away. oh, standing beyond the range of rocks and bottles, testers have home me shields and numbers. the police have water cannon and some grenades, but this is what it looked like in reality. ah. after 3 months of confrontational, key of his main square, the situation reached the boyland points, and the 20th of february, 2014,

became the bloodiest they of them. i done live in 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 force the cranes 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 wiring 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 only 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. well guess what? government forces didn't use hunting rifles, but do you know who did? that's right. the protesters, something that was even documented on mainstream media conservancy built several 100 meters away, was firmly in the hands of the protest erection. just after 8 o'clock that morning, a news photographer had managed to get into the building with his camera. when i come inside, i will saw the guys one come after me. hunter gun hunting rush. i'm 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 controlled the labors and not my don leaders like himself. so where is the proof? nowhere to be found, apparently the shields and the helmets of those who were killed and entered. where are they gone? extract the bullets disappeared. recordings of live streams cctv from hotel krajina raised. isn't that weird? even eel special started wondering what was going on as we later found out from this leak phone call. it's really disturbing that now the, you know,

coalition that they don't want to investigate. what exactly happened so that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers they were it was not but it was somebody from the new coalition. it's already discredit dates from very beginning of 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 before a newland flew in 3 times and was literally feeding pro european protesters. us senator john mccain joined the party. encourage and protesters to keep going, agreeing with them, but their future is in europe. no matter what their democratically elected president want or has decided to do to people if nobody knows that the united states stands with you in your search or just for human ridiculous. because curity or economic health and for the european future that you have chosen

and the people your moment, this is about you don't want no one else really. then why was the, was let 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, then you get a new so become ukraine's new leader. and sure enough, there guy was installed and traveled to washington right away. so the crowds and 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 ukrainians who aligned with russia linguistically,

historically, and culturally so they took to the streets, often meets in a brutal consequence. like the massacre in odessa were almost 50 of them were trapped in the building that will set ablaze, burn and i'm alive. this of course, cements of clearly the hatred between the 2 sides realized that keith had decided on fate without asking us. they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union in russia to the things that were going on and key disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that crimea detached than 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 in key. if once again you're sure you weren't for your country. this is just the future uses 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 points to the fact that my done was a gateway. so a war was russia. of course, the mainstream media will not show you a report like that, nor will it tell you where the rooftop snipers actually came from. because many bad actors from beyond ukraine's borders were involved in my dime qu. but of course, after the qu, other boxes, like victoria newland and john mccain with our on my don handing out freedom. cookies. why do you think they were that your program returns the top of the ah

a a ah ah, one year ago, no one person could have predicted the course of the conflict in ukraine, 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

for only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking, that is that nations visits are allowed to do anything all the mazda races, and then you have the minor nation. so the slave americans, proc obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous bogeyman that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy. so some.
