2:02 pm
selim, shortly after the latest on quick far heads when its buildings cracked, it comes up with just 2 weeks since a series of massive tremors in this same region happening within 40000 people dead in turkey and sizes, some work and we bordering the syria. now today's earthquakes were also felt in syria, lebanon, cypress, on further side of israel, nevada. this video was taken out an earth forth in a province, the people you can imagine swimming, running in public. the terminal was tilted by the late this tremors following the plates, the euro, mediterranean sized knowledge of center as issued a for now me warning, the area in question is around 20 kilometers or so from the mediterranean sea. so that's the situation of an earth port in her say,
2:03 pm
i want to show you some footage that we just received from syria. people have left from images, they should say, i have left their homes after the earth quick struck across the border, a port stating that the shaking had been felt by inhabitants in a number of syrian regions. just the build up, of course, to that's an over 40000 dead, as we said in turkey over the past 2 weeks. and what was called one big cemetery with building upon building tens of thousands on top of others. and people being pulled from the rubble at days and indeed more than a week nature as well. so the latest on that we will bring it to you later in the program. when more developments emerge from trickier syria to be non or do you could to impart to learn dismiss the u. s. president joe biden has made
2:04 pm
a surprise visit to p. f, where he met with the ukranian leader nearly a year after the start of the conflict, after photos of which were quite a few. the u. s. president sat down and reaffirm washington's own wavering support to ukraine, pledging to send even more money and weapons. the new package indeed is worth half a $1000000000.00 on will include, we believe high mars i munition the tank systems and radars and all jo biden's visit comes as you train marks 9 years to the day since the deadliest day of the my down protests in key of the government crew, which left dozens killed on more than 150 wounded. essentially, it was a precursor to the situation as it stands today. our teeth, marina cultural, has the 3rd for rica. this is how it was portrayed in mainstream
2:05 pm
media. unarmed protest is done done in the streets by the right police who were retreating from gifts made and square. i tried to hit 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. at the 3 months of confrontational, 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
2:06 pm
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. holy evidence to the contrary. the snipers 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. he several other eye witnesses including other my don protesters, a medic, and
2:07 pm
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 direction. 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 stop the guys. one come after me with hunter gun hunting rush. i so 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,
2:08 pm
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 sliders and not my don leaders like himself. so where is the proof? nowhere to be found? apparently the shields and helmets of those 2 were killed and injured. where are they gone? extract the bullets disappeared. recordings of live streams cctv 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 now with the new new 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's somebody from the new coalition. it's already discredit dates from very
2:09 pm
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, but flora 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. they know that the united states stands with you in your search, or just for humans because a curity economic health and for the european future that you have chosen and the
2:10 pm
people your moment, this is about, you know, why no one else really. then why was the, was la, truly in ukraine's business discussing and planning who should wrong? 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. 7 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 premiums who aligned with russia linguistically, historically and culturally so they took to the streets, often meets in a brutal consequence. like the massacre and not the thought 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
2:11 pm
2 sides realized that he had decided to fate without asking them of they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union in russia. and the things that were going on and keep disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that crimea detached and joined russia. the civil war and on boss started a 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 this is the future you want for your country. this is just up. do 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,
2:12 pm
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. marina costs rather, not just hours before joe biden, surprise visit to kiev ukrainian. shelling killed a 12 year old girl in a village in russia's western belgrade region. the governor there said the girl had been in the street talking to her father on the phone when 9 artillery rounds pounded the area. later, another artillery strike on the same village killed a woman and wounded a man. according to officials who said a post tree farm was also hit in the attack. well, as residential areas are hit by ukrainian shells, russian forces are advancing on the front lines. the ministry of defense was confirmed, the taking of the village of harass covey africa, a stronghold north of the embattled key city of archibald schools known as
2:13 pm
buttonwood ortiz eager shit down our reports from positions recently secured by rushes. wagner, military company, a warning, some of the furniture head 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 and wishing off. 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, fully within the enemy. last about 40 soldiers out of
2:14 pm
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 and they use this ambulances cover to deliver ammunition and food supplies over most care. with ariel, you are as quickly on gv, 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 re, cranium, paratrooper brigade, there was a strong group here. are you made up of all they've got,
2:15 pm
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 gruesome images. the defensive lies here in this building are held by you. k mercenaries. this is one of them all. what's left of one of them close quarter combat is what wagner's excelsior fighter, who was among those who stormed this building, shares with me, what kind of resistance they have to overwhelm yours. machine gunners held up defenses in every stage. hearing those, are they worry than shooting in corridors to the door? it didn't help them though. shouldn't our guys know what to do? to the summit, they entered the building the right way and covered each other with
2:16 pm
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. which means these are in print, 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 chance, which is what happened to the tank. i went on over there to morrow kilometer and half from here. it stir, it was blown off. here. russia has tightened the noose further on ukraine's garrison in black. moot. because all this is a prelude to the resounding crescendo of the fool of the city. to the tune of wagner. i'm just done of reporting from the dumbass. ot see.
2:17 pm
where's our money tortilla is seeking a refund from the u. s. state department for what it's spent on the f 35 fighter jet program on cra find itself froze, and i had all the project for buying weapon systems from russia casa. yup. the, the mother said, we really should. here we were partners in the f 35 program, but turkey was excluded due to american sanctions. it was a unilateral decision, although there is a figure of $1400000000.00 that we've spent. we now waiting for a refund of that money paid and get them as in victor mac. it just breaking that down the multi nation f $35.00 joint strike fighter program originally saw to establish a common platform for u. s. allies in europe, asian, the middle east with a plan to acquire more than $100.00 of the jets. however, trickier, which was among the members was expelled from the program following its purchase of
2:18 pm
the russian made s 400 or defense system professor of international law on relations measured hockey just seen from miss them both yet a tech a university say it's illegal for washington to hold on to anchor his money. no, they asked the sci fi by $400.00 russia resize and they dismissed the hour before graham. and even though we pay $1400000000.00, or it can say no money, no cosmetic, i hope this is our local, according to international law. as on case we have other options such as the visit to the washer hand, we test may no rush and come with a graph. you in those 235 or in other models. this is on the table. now we're waiting. what will happen? why? because of us from i to us to given f 16 come with your graph and the on the hand
2:19 pm
very, the end of their arguments have if you want to buy the f 16, you have to find the seen them and the l. so the also do the membership in echo and what is the best thing in my idea the for the method of the service. they want to understand if you're with your loss people 50000, we suffer from humanitarian point of view of the things i didn't hear at the off the here with you. not in our agenda. the launch of the use news. civilian mission in our media has been slammed by moscow. the foreign ministry spokeswoman has described it does nothing but an attempt to weaken russia's rule in the region . by emphasizing the exclusively civilian nature of the new mission, representatives of the european union are lying. that is revealed within the definition of the use common security and defense policy. unfortunately, this is not the 1st time we've recorded the desire of the european union and the west as a whole, to gain
2:20 pm
a foothold in our ally armenia by any means. we see in these attempts and exclusively geopolitical background, far from the interests of real normalization of relations in the caucasus. everything is being done to squeeze russia out of the region and weaken its historical role as the main guarantor of security. as we just heard, maria's har of, of the 1st thing she said was that european officials are lying when they say that this new e, you mission to the region is of an exclusively civilian nature. that's because that this admissions deployment actually serves the interests of the european union's common security and defense policy according to the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman murray is a harv also said that this is not the 1st time we've seen the west and the european union tried to advance its geopolitical goals in our mania and the wider caucuses region, which historically revisit this is a place where russia has been the main guarantor of security. now,
2:21 pm
just to give you a bit of background to open hostilities between armenians, azerbaijan broke out over the new governor car buck region, once again, back in 2020. and it was russia that negotiated the ceasefire. since then, moscow's peacekeeping force in the region has been successful in keeping tensions down. that's because russia is a party that's trusted by both our armenia and azerbaijan. so this new e, you mission to the region, which has representatives from states that are unfriendly to russia, which is said to be frowned upon by azerbaijan, is likely to undo a lot of that progress that the russian peacekeeping mission has made in the region . and even potentially allow hostilities to escalate once again. no, as hostilities rage on in the ukraine conflict, the u. s. media is seemingly finding new ways to shore up support for key ebs resistance. they're calling it by glorifying the use of teen soldiers on the frontline. and you go from the people who being victimized to the effect that that
2:22 pm
has on not just the warrior class of ukraine, but the kids who have made a decision. 151617. to put away their dreams and have only a single purpose of defending their country. 16 and 17 year old girl and boy decided that old dreams are deferred until they can rescue their company. they're country. well, that hardly needs mentioning that using children and bottle is strictly prohibited . but while seemingly glorifying the ukrainian teenagers at the same time, western media outlets, how the queues russia of allegedly building a kids army to be sent to the baffled groans, even comparing the program to hitler youth enough to deliver a summons for service. false reports, by the way, a force mobilization violations against hunger, marion's, and other national minorities in ukraine.
2:23 pm
always good to welcome on to the program. earl rasmussen, hurley, executive rice, vice president of the eurasia center thing. thanks for your time today, earl. your thoughts on this? a parent, norfolk cation, i suppose the best way to describe it by western media outlets on the use of, of miners on the battlefield road. but travis, it sad, the gotten list point where we've got it. let's say that this is not youth organization, military type organization. these are actually seeking to screen you to be sent to the battle to be active in combat roles. so this is the thing that happened in 3rd world. countries with the rebels in africa and other places that has happened. it's not some place that it's sad to see and they
2:24 pm
basically, they're destroying their future. and i understand there's a patriarch aspect to this but but leadership needs to see what the reality is. there. when they're dipping down this low as far as teenagers. i mean we and we in list with parental permission, 17 year old and 18 year old. but for combat and, and as well. but. but we don't go down to solve 1316 years old and, and this is a travis, the, you know, for the future of ukraine and the son for leadership takes on in the direction the un general assembly criminalize the recruitment of children under a thing to be involved in hostilities back in the year 2000. why do you think that? well, this was a prominent cnn report, a chris cuomo, that western media and he's not alone are essentially glamour rising. and i use
2:25 pm
that word specifically because it, it was a her rick at peace. it was seemingly that these people are protecting their country. but their children, child soldiers. what's the implication behind it? i mean, part of this whole story. i think it's the hard jercker type of thing to try to hit at the, at the emotion. i think the support for the hospital is going on in ukraine and the bottomless black hole for us resources. i think starting to wayne and the public and, and, and the truth is starting to leak out, especially when you see writing from seymour hersh on the roles with the pipeline. and you hear about some of the, the different things planning and sanction way, months before hostility began. things are starting to leak out,
2:26 pm
not in the mainstream media, the media job as he, he the public on the narrative. and so this is kind of keeping, trying to hear their support. oh, it's so random, so bad. and so the, glorifying the teenagers fighting for their country. but basically they're, they're, they're trying to spin this to, to influence the emotions of the, of the public. they're viewing public, you know, i mean, if you look at it, i mean, there's other aspects we all have military types from russia does, for teenage russia does the u. k does. but they're not trained to go to conduct their, their thought about citizenship and take your basic military skills. but they're not, they're not brought them to the combat situation. that's the difference here. the kids are actually being trained to go to combat and that's a very,
2:27 pm
very and for those rushing out of courses, they also recall the horrors of the 2nd world war by nazi germany and how the, the russian teens, how their families were affected. some 30000000 p bull died. soviets die during the time it's something up, they don't want that flame to go out. they want to continue that, that legacy, you know, that they see those brave. but as you say, this isn't the but sending them to the front lines yet they're called enough the youth. they're all means have implications in the western media by these the children. and yet it's fine. on the ukrainian side. there's are come a point where it's like the west seas. we got to stop here. we got to stop. we got to stop defending it. okay. we don't like moscow, but we're going to far now we're, we're putting down ramifications that are going to be here for years and decades to
2:28 pm
come. we have to start thinking soberly about what we're saying. yeah, i don't know. i mean, you would think it would, but we've got we've got a core group of political elite that for some reason they are just you know, every ukrainian died and they could some type some way we can russia that be ok with me. they really don't care about the ukraine. they don't care of it as a, about the people actually, the flow of the weapons, their tenure support or combat the disruption of any type of type of negotiate. and it's, it's all about confronting russia in a proxy war and, and it's,
2:29 pm
unfortunately now we've got children that are being enlisted, enlisted in the situation and, and basically not only their land but their, but their future you of their future of their country is being destroyed as well, and that's, i would say a lot of that goes to the, the western elite that are controlling the, the direction that we're going. and it's just sad to see. yeah, i think side is the word and date are thanks for your time. they always appreciate you coming in the program and breaking down issues for us. are rasmussen, executive vice president of the eurasia center. think tech richard now, can american gun crime epidemic be turned around with either infringing on the country 2nd amendment rights clash? perhaps expose a bond between ideologies, foster coaching with us for our short dog park land rising. ah,
