place, as you can either with better than is doing now with a russia president relevant person is said to give a that i know speak to the country parliament in just a few hours amid the anniversary of emergency operation. and you play a yeah, another series of quite hitting a southern to here with 3 people reported killed about 300 others injured. as the death toll from previous massive plates in the region has to cost $40000.00 person pilot discuss increasing their presence in africa,

asserting that the content cannot be left to strengthen it ties china a former us marine john mark, do good thing. the sort of suspicious us naval crew around to rush no big part point system before it was blowing up. we sleep with john mark did himself later in the program. a live a from last. there's just pop the i want it to have you with. i'm right money. let's take a look at the top stories this hours. in for alice, i'm russia president. by them. it is scheduled to give his annual address to the national parliament. the event coincides with the anniversary this week of russia's military apparation in. where are they now in the studio is donald quarter,

and he knows more about what present, but may be talking about for the small well, the importance of latimer prudence, upcoming national address, just cannot be understated. it's an address that was originally expected at the end of last year and has been postponed over and over. and finally, we're going to hear the russian president thoughts on the eve, or rather in the upcoming or in the run up to russia, special military operations anniversary. so according to the kremlin spokesperson, demitria pest called were expected to hear a lot about that military operation. were also expected to hear a forecast for russia's future development, as well as an assessment of its position on in international affairs now several days before pest called made that announcement, he also said that foreign journalists from unfriendly countries are not going to be invited to this event only for an accredited journalist from friendly countries

will be able to attend. and it's also important to note that joe biden has said that he's going to give his own address to the russian people and to let him in today on the very same same day as russia as the russian president's national address. i mean, who exactly is going to be paying attention to? that is not very clear because it's likely, even most western journalists are going to be listening very carefully to what the russian president has to say. right? so, and that's going to be taking place around 12 o'clock local time, right? that's correct. okay, excellent. we soon will keep an eye on that for sure. and probably talk to you again. no doubt donald, thanks again. ours, we will now to other top stories from around the world. now 3 people have been reported killed in about 300 others injured in the latest earthquakes. but structure here on monday evening, the epa centers were recorded in south eastern parts of the country with tremors also felt in neighbouring syria and even as far away as israel, egypt and libya. oh,

this footage shows at the moment when the earthquakes hate to hear the largest one with what is the magnitude of 6.4. they came just over 2 weeks after a series of devastating earthquakes in southern shouldn't here, and syria, which left more than 40000 people died. meanwhile, this video was slaten at an airport in the hot type province with people screaming and running in panic. as the terminal was jolted by the latest tremors. there were also been ripples of a number of flights being canceled. we got a 1st hand account of the situation for local resident and also folks the quakes in a region, several 100 kilometers from the huff i produce the worst part we cannot bags and sharing our routine life. really so big earthquake before which we had to

get through. after that it has been 2 weeks. we were trying to get back to our roots in live buds. we shake again. we had to ask greg again. you know, here's now told the cows because you know, what is the worst thing in the world. maybe in my opinion, the think which you don't know what to do. you feel desperate. you don't have to say you don't feel safe as your own house. now we again left to houses. now we are in a cafe, which is one florida. and we are now. you are it's, i think the campus just to cafe about 100 people. but i think at least or 200 people would who don't know what to do. now, when we sit on a table and the small, you know, once somebody, it's a, it's a his leg table. when it's shaking, you're feeling like it's been again a jeweler. thing, professor i to establish technically, analysts explain that the reader is still suffering from the off the shock for the

previous massive quakes and will do so for quite some time. the crisis is not over yet there because these are massive traits dead. braga, like $500.00 formatives long sections of the, of the, of the fall in toggle, and effecting increasing stress on new by false, not only out die, but the other falls to the north, to the north, east, and northwest. so other earthquakes of similar size may also happen at any time around this, this, this region or how long it takes me, you never know it, it will take for 4 months. i, i assume because of the size of the page, the whole area has been, you know, shaking is very strongly and there are

a lot of false here, like broken glass. you see it are so many different falls struck in different directions. so i guess why they are so many number of aftershocks with large size. i mean the number o'clock shocks nights like over 4000 people across the border in neighboring cereals, or remain fearful of further tremors. the number of casualties from the most recent one in the country is not yet known. serious ambassador to russia has emphasized that the middle eastern country has been suffering. not only from us. we have be suffering from a, from a to earthquakes. the 1st one lasted for 30 minutes, as you know, the last one which resulted in thousands of death and thousands of wounded people. but that is another earthquake, which has been hitting celia for the last 12 years. and here i

mean the cur, by f wake the foreign occupation, american turkish, israeli as well as the a, a, the terrorist war against assyria plus the european and american sanctions by imposing the search so called the sanctions which are illegitimate and illegal according to the un charter, the u. n cords, these sanctions, unilateral coercive economy measures, so they are illegal and illegitimate but, but by imposing the sanctions on, on the see it in people, the west in general is targeting to suffocating the city and people from the day one they were lying. but, but we compelled them to acknowledge that we had in syria and iraq foreign terrorist. and these foreign terrorists were sent by them because they were

collecting them from all over the world. you see how, how the dearest network is made. it's made by the western intelligence services as well as by the israelis are themselves and i mean in and close corporation and a cohesion that as we say, robot at the nephew or something bad might be good. this earthquake disclose further. the hypocrisy of the west to what she had you us secretary of state and evening and visited anchored just hours before the new earthquake and announced further assistance to the country. but in the meantime, 2 here has been seeking a refund for the us for what it spent on the f 35 fights a jet program. the u. s. excluded shouldn't hear from those need to pilot because to get bored in advance missile defense system from russia. cut up to the amount of

cbb. let's see. here we were putting this in the f 35 program, but turkey was excluded due to american sanctions. it was a unilateral decision, there is a figure of $1400000000.00 that we've spent, we now waiting for a refund of that money paid. and we have $3055.00 jet program originally sold to establish a cohen platform for defenses of u. s. allies in europe, asia and the middle east involving more than a 100 aircraft to care, which was among the nato members in this week's included was expelled from the program following its purchase of the russian s 400 and defense system. we heard from a mr. tuck congestion, a professor of international law and relations at establish at the university. he says it's illegal for washington to hold on to the money that he has spent on the project. though they asked the same 3 by 400 ration resize

and they dismissed the our, this for a graham. and even though we pay $1400000000.00, or it can say no money, no cosmetic, i hope this is unlawful, according to international law, mr. add on say, we have other options such as the he, we did the russia and we test may no rush and come with a crowd. you in those who 35 or in other models. this is on the table now we're waiting. what will happen? why? because of the us from i to us to give an f 16 come with the graph and the on their hand very, the end of their arguments have. if you want to buy the f 16, you have to fly and the seen them and the l. so the also see that the membership in echo and what is the best 30 he and my idea, the 4 didn't after the 1st they want to understand the 30 last people 50000. we

suffer from humanitarian for in the you off the debate in here at the off the not in our agenda. the eyes of the rectification process, a sweden and finland to join a to drags on. those to nordic countries are still pushing to be accepted into the alliance together. but nathan said it's a complicated matter and the 2 might not be able to join the same time. the main issue is not that they ratified together. the main issue is that they ratified his full members as soon as possible. while sailor's prime minister is fussing for his country to be accepted together with sweden, defense minister says finland could be willing to join the block independently. it comes as to he has held up sweden's ratification, so i think that the country's refusal to the pool. several individuals have anchored themes as terrorists just weeks ago, anger some of the swedish ambassador following and demonstration in stucco that saw

. busy a local politician byrne, the koran. next to the turkish embassy global affairs analyst in georgia, the mooney believes that name to failure to move both applications forward with force will force the block to change his plans. finland will join separately because president aragon isn't going to change is a position on swing sweden certainly not before the election and nature really. com. just hold this in this issue in abeyance month after month. it's already look very stupid because he was going to rush this through last summer . it didn't happen because of turkey. issues that turkey has res. so it's been the, you know, dragging on and they can't really let this drag on much longer. so they're going to get finland then, and then say, this is a wonderful, great moment, you know, nato expansion continues and we hope that sweden will go in down the road. and

that's what i hope that once again gets through the election, then he'll change is positional sweden or the nato is our hoping about hope everyone will be defeated in the next election. and then whoever succeeds in will basically toss aside the objections to sweetness. membership, but i think they're going to join separately. ah, it is for a mazda said that africa is crucial for the future of europe and cannot be left in china's hands. he made those comments at the munich security conference in a discussion in which political elite pushed for a stronger european presence in africa. unity is crucial if we want to pay the way for a stronger europe. among nato ed in europe are more present in africa. look at african to look at africa is gruesome

for the future. to leave africa in chinese and is a big mistake for everybody here. africa chose china as its largest trading partner in foreign direct investor. why is europe trying to drag africa into its fat with china as well? they sound upset that the girl thereafter doesn't want to eat at their table in the school cafeteria. maybe she just likes to hang with different groups of people. okay. and what about american bases in 5 african countries? does the italian. ringback foreign minister, mind the uncle sam's hands are all over africa, or is that no problem? because that's his body. how many times have we heard the west concern trolling africa as in lookout? don't let china and ask because it's a deck trop. turns out that africa owes 3 times more debt to western private

lenders than it does to china. that's according to world bank data. and someone else was back on the scene. evoking is neo colonialists fantasies regarding africa . again, chief u diplomat, yoseph burrell. i travel around the world and particularly in the countries of the south, i see how powerful as the russian narrative that wants to reduce the war in ukraine to a conflict between the west and russia is powerful, accusing us of double standard. we must debunk this narrative and explain how rush acts as an imperialist power. president micron 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 neighbour that wants to take control of some country that belongs to its political sphere. big headline in the western press. out of me an extreme quote, western please over ukraine failed to sway global south. maybe the west is not as attractive as they seem to think they are,

or maybe they don't understand the mindset of those they're looking to seduce. here's the uganda in an namibian foreign ministers with some tips for the west on why their charm offensive isn't working. we were colonized and forgave those who colonized us. now, the colonizers are asking us to be enemies of russia, who never colonized us. is that fair? not for us, their enemies or their enemies, our friends are our friends. the bottom line is that money used to buy weapons would be better used to promote development in ukraine, in africa, in asia, in the you itself, where many people are facing hardship. pretty sure that none of the self help books on making yourself attractive to others, say to tell them not to watch certain networks like r t to monitor or control who they hang out with, like russia and china, and to treat them like they don't really know how to handle their own affairs. so maybe the west should try getting some perspective away from their bodies. all

these group think driven safe spaces like the munich security conference. and now we heard from a specialist in the 1st between african china who says that you've needs to stop treating africa like it's property. africans just don't want to do that any more. they don't want to just on the pedal. they have a great deal of, you know, the late you can't find much, but i think the governments and the leaders been perpetrating the system that's not the win win for africans. and that my star. so if there are other alternatives to be considered, africans have the choice to do so. and to look into these alternative be in russian chinese for here. all, you know, middle east and saudi arabia, the philippines, anybody else who can help them to improve the living conditions on the continent? will he or she will work?

and i think you said, well, i'm is really not in a good position to tell africans find much how to say when to say when to say and then feel like, you know, africans are children for us, marine and with the lord john, mom sent us an anonymous letter from a nato officer who preferred to consider his name and job title over fears of possible retaliation. the source described the u. s. naval crew that fit the description of those who could have committed the family of russia no framed pipeline system in the baltic sea. i had a leading administration role in the june 22 ball toss military exercises near born home island, denmark, a u. s. military helicopter arrived carrying a group of men who were supposed to be u. s. navy anti mind personnel. the thing i found odd was that they claimed to be

there to search for underwater mines. however, they lack the equipment for such exercises. their equipment consisted of the latest navy issue, deep dive in underwater, re breathers, and some small hard box cases. we called them, pelicans. they took their boat off shore, not to the area where the simulated minds were placed, but to an entirely different location. after the exercise was over and they returned, almost all their pelicans were missing earlier ger loveday than join me the sooner to discuss the lesser and what was revealed. he said the sabotage of the nose seemed pipelines essentially amounted to a terrorist attack and the u. s. had no intention of pursuing peace in ukraine. i have a history of getting some very exposed of documents and keeping them secret and keeping my sources secret back. that's why had to come to russia because the u. s. government wanted to do my secrets. my sources fir postings. when i was living in

the us, they even rated my home and i had to flee here to russia. and i know the misconception is that i'm pro russian, but i'm really, i'm pro truth. what the united states did is, is a war crime. not only is a war crime, but it's one of the worst ecological disasters ever created by man. ah, it's basically a terrorist attack. the say that they don't want to escalate this war, but they're doing all the stuff in secret to escalate this war. and then they're blaming russia for it. it's, it's absurd and they got caught. yet again, is it fair to say that a lot of americans don't really know what's going on and the taxpayer is that the tax dollars and how it is being spent? and let me, there's a certain aspect of people that do know, but this is a face, a lot of people's livelihoods in america. do you think things could change to the future?

i think they are slowly changing because people now are realizing slowly as information is trickling out, that everything that they've been told by the american government has been a lie. you had the biological labs, victoria roland said didn't exist. and then she said, well, we're worried about russia getting our hands on the contents of these labs that we are partners in. and then using them as a false flag attack because they're dangerous chemicals. but if they're so dangerous and why are they worried? you know, so everything that's coming out of this administration is, is turning into an eye opening experience and people realize how much we are being lied to. and it's, it's not happening fast enough in my opinion, but it is happening, i think, is very important. and is there any professor i'm prominent, could say, call us present. joe biden, administration has been arrested and placed on arms trafficking charges initiated

by the us. he says the accusations look from top to silence him. i've been arrested in cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the us. the u. s. claiming i'm in arms dealer. it would be funny if the weren't tragic. i've never been in arms dealer. the d o. j is trying to bury me to protect joe jim and hunter bite and shall i name names gal. last is a direct washington based thing tank and a vocal critic of us foreign policy and ministration. he says he has information about shady business deals by jo, button, son hunter, and how they have allegedly affected the u. s. presence policies last was arrested on 12 years of smoking weapons that china and libya he deny is all the allegations . his lawyer says the binding administration has sufficient reasons to worry about the information that he possesses. there is no doubt that this is to

protect them by then and ministration. there's no other reason he gave information about corrupted deals. all the biter would ship by then probably knew about did. it was corruption, you know, high when the death beyond. this is a lot of the reason to shut off demo that it's a political matter and they try demo maybe the shut up demos of my client because according to him, he hasn't sensitive information. then just told the republicans as the ukraine called big rages on mainstream us media outlets have been drawn up simple for keith, including, glorifying the use of teenage soldiers on the front lines. and you go from the

people who being victimized to the effect that that 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 have decided that all dreams are deferred until they can rescue their comfort their country. it hardly needs mentioning that using children and battle is strictly prohibited. but while seemingly glorifying the for any teenagers at the same time western media outlets have accused russia of allegedly building a kids are me to be sent to the bio grounds even comparing the program to hitler use in nazi germany. now we accusations have arisen, have forced conscription in ukraine has been reported over for country videos,

allegedly show men being hunted down and detained to be shipped off for mandatory military service. there are also reports of falls mobilization against ethnic hungaria and other minorities in the claim. o rasmussen, executive vice president of the region center. thank. thank says that youth cadets programs exists all over the world. but the ukraine is associated with a dangerous agenda. 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 role. basically they're destroying their future. things are starting to leak out, not in the mainstream media for media job. he, he the public on the narrative. and so this is kind of keeping,

trying to hear their support and say, oh, it's so for brand, so bad. and so the, glorifying, the teenagers are fighting for their country. but basically they're, they're, they're trying to spin this to, to influence the emotion. so 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 time progress. russia does, for teenage russian does, did u. k does, but they're not, they're not from the combat situation. and that's the difference here. the kids are actually being trained to go to combat and that's very, very and for the last head to know of africa. now what to nicea has described as blatant interference in a soviet nation's affairs. an address made to protest as by a senior year official who's now been expelled from the north african nation.

here's how the europe in trade union chief attempted to defend our actions. internationalism and solidarity are at the core of the labor movement. so it's entirely normal that a trade union leader from europe should go and stand with workers and tunisia, the message of solidarity, social justice and dialogue i gave the demonstration is no different to the one i have given to workers in france and the u. k. this month, well, the feud is caused by a precedent who feels that the unions have a rather a powerful position, a vested interest in as government, and is trying to very much kids hail, how much power they can wield the united workers of, of tunisia under the umbrella, the u g t t that tunisia united general union movement have

really caused some headaches for president kase say eve. and they have organized a lot of strikes and laura protests against the, the, the high cost of living. and as well as the lack of reforms in his government, and they've gone as far as to say that he is trying to clamp down on union rates and union power on saturday, on one of the biggest these of the strikes the of the protest rather than was being held they miss lynch spoke to to the thousands of people that were there who also held a breed as a sign of protests against the higher cost of living. and she told them that the 45000000 workers of europe, than she represents through how confederation stand with those workers. and that there is a sense of solidarity and internationalism within the union is movement. and vet or speech really rolled up. mr. said she was the go to the thing that this

isn't the mr. phase government has consistently a tag beauty and says that in a tag on the union is an a tag on people's voice. let's hear a little bit more from the government side as to what they found offensive about her speech on saturday. i order as the president of the republic, the tennessean authorities called on esther lynch, who participated in march organized by the g mizzi and general labor union. made statements that blatantly interfered with juniors in internal affairs to leave to nicea within 24 hours of notifying her that she is persona non grata. esa as the list gets expelled of back to, to europe. and we understand that she landed in brussels today. this is a fine and this is a messy has been sent to to nicea that as thinning up to the government will be high down from now on. if senior officials within the legal union movement are being arrested at wil, unless you.
