10:00 am
ah, with i have to say that russia is forced to suspend our involvement in the new start treaty. russia suspenses participation in the start nuclear weapons treaty with america. but it's not abandoning the effort that announcement today from vladimir putin in its annual address to the russian party. the west can't ignore the fact that it's impossible to defeat russia. that's another message from vladimir putin who says western partners are seeking to transform the local conflict in ukraine its way global confrontation. meantime, the russian foreign ministry demands, the american ambassador show up and explained the sabotage of russia, north stream pipelines. and that's as a former us marine and tells r t he received
10:01 am
a letter from a former nato officer who claims he sorta suspicious us naval crew in the area. shortly before the pipes were blown up, people now are realizing slowly is information this trickling out that everything that they've been told by the american government has been alive with. all right, 6 pm, local time here in moscow and what a day. it's been so far here an international the russian president has spoken, and it's got a western political and media landscape in quite a fuss. so russia, so spends its participation in the new start nuclear treaty, but it's not abandoning be agreement. president vladimir putin made that statement in his annual address to the national parliament today, or they would signal up, but would you would need a representatives? the u. s. is sending signals and putting out ultimatums to russia, should they say you russia must implicitly do as we have previously agreed to,
10:02 am
including the new start treaty. while we the us or do whatever we want to us. they say there's no connection between the new start treaty issues and the ukrainian conflict or other hostile actions by the west towards russia is over there as if there is no loud statement that the u. s. aim is the feeling russia strategically differently. so it's either utmost cynicism in her parker see or utmost stupidity or anything we can't call them idiots though. they're not stupid. they wanted to feed us strategically and also want to continue to inspect our new killer objects. in this regard, i have to say that managed that russia is forced to suspend our involvement in the new start treaty. the material, as vladimir putin says, the actions of the west have made russia suspend the new style treaty for strategic and defensive reasons. the deputy chairman of rushers federation counsels, as washington has disregarded the main points of the agreement and use it now for its own advantage. the have been very much concerned about how the united states of
10:03 am
america do or do not fulfill their commitments according to these 3 to enter our judgment is that they do not do it. they are want to use these 3 to in order to control how russia her behaves in terms of these treaty and the height, their own behavior. and this is a clear situation which damages the national security of russia. and we cannot afford being treated that unilateral waste the new start treaty with united states is focused on oversight and control of the 2 countries strategic arms in today's address. put in also said that the west has been taking part in attacking rushes, strategic air bases, highlighting the ukranian weapons used in the strikes were upgraded by nato personnel, mozilla. we know that the west is directly complicit in kiev. regimes attempts to
10:04 am
strike to pieces of our strategic evaluation drones used for that were equipped and modernized with the help of natal specialist. at least western elite cannot ignore the fact that it is impossible to defeat rush on the battlefield. they intend to transform a local conflict into a phase of global confrontation. this is exactly how we understand this, and we will respond accordingly. when you mind the president's speech went on for almost 2 hours, and now 45 minutes, it was given before the the cream of rushes, elite, the biggest revelation was left until almost the end than that is russia, suspending its participation? very important distinction. not a not pulling out of brother spending its participation in the start nuclear arms reduction and controlled treaty between it in the united states. that has been in
10:05 am
effect since 2010 vladimir putin here, cited various reasons for it. and that primarily, all one of the most important reasons is that it is simply lost power. for example, russian inspections, which are written into the, into the start treaty, russian inspectors are denied inspections in the united states for all manner of reasons. there is also the fact that the united states, various western leaders have now now come out you and they say that they want russia to suffer a strategic defeat. and u. k, the president has ordered the ministry of defense to prepared to carry out nuclear tests. but only if the united states carries those out 1st, the gist of what he had to say is that relations with the west. ah, i now have been torn to shreds. there is nothing to say and on. and that, marsha, i sees through all of this high talk about the ma chrissy and peace.
10:06 am
you know, certainly no country in the world has as many military bases abroad as the united states does. there are hundreds of them, and i want to emphasize this hundreds of basses around the world. the whole planet is stacked with them. just look at the map. no one counts the human victims and tragedies because trillions of dollars are at stake. the opportunity to further rob everyone, heidi behind words about democracy and freedom moralist, russian president also stressed that russia did everything, everything that it could to avoid this conflict, the special military operation in ukraine, but the 4 years, 4 years, european nato. he does, as well as the government in key of which vladimir putin believes to be fully controlled by nathan. these leaders lied to russia for years. they lied and they stole about grades peaceful,
10:07 am
attend their peaceful intent. they spent those years pumping weapons into ukraine. if you assume it, but you're good to shoot door, and i would like to emphasize that even before the special military operation, keith was negotiating with the west on delivery of air defense systems, plains and other heavy equipment. and we also remember attempts by the key regime to acquire nuclear weapons and they were publicly stating it. the u. s. a. need a were rapidly deploying their military bases and secret bio labs near our borders . during their maneuvers, they explored the theater of future military actions, and they prepared the key of regime to be controlled by them. ukraine, enslaved by them for a big war. and now they are admitting it admitting it publicly by openly and with no shame. he also says that the various nationalists lead as neo nazis, but trained in western military college is what taught how to wage war
10:08 am
against the russian federation rule. with the understanding that this war would happen, matters beat, the western plough all along. vladimir putin also said that this conflict between russia and ukraine isn't between russia and the people of ukraine, but rather those that have taken at hostage and any further increase in the number of civilians killed in the, in the devastation when you are you him not of the morena but we're not at war with the people of ukraine. i've already said this many times. the people of ukraine themselves have become hostages of the key of regime. and it's western masters who have actually occupied the country in a political, military and economic sense. no one thought about the people that they were prepared for slaughter and eventually turned into expendable material. the responsibility for inciting the ukrainian conflict for the escalation, for the increase in the number of its victims, lies entirely with the western elites. and the key of regimes with deals have said
10:09 am
that the, the sanctions which the west believe would shatter the russian economy. that the, that didn't pan out, the russian economy remained stronger, but there was a little partition of middle. the west is deployed not only a military informational, but also an economic front against us. but nowhere, nowhere has it achieved anything and will not achieve anything. anti russian sanctions are a means for their goal. as the western leaders themselves declare a direct quote to make our citizens suffer. that's their humanism, the president said again, that victory, you know, will, russia's future is dependent on the reactions of every single person. and he also says that it is a historic obligation to see this through le nato secretary general gen stalsen book has reacted to russia's suspension of its role in the new start treaty. the official statement is that nato regrets moscow's move. he added that the alliance
10:10 am
rejects the russian president's claims regarding the ukraine conflict. however, the criminal spokesperson dmitri prescott told us here at odds, he, the majority of people around the world simply don't share the west's mainstream narrative on ukraine. now it's not only but in operation in ukraine. now this is really about a war about a war with what is being called collective west. it is not united, it is, it is orchestrated by the united states. we now we can see, and we are, we believe that united states is orchestrating europe. we don't have independent states in europe. they have to listen to washington every time in order to determine their politics. the majority of, of, of global society is the majority of countries. they shared different points of view, and they simply do not want to know to follow only one single way in approaching
10:11 am
politics from the, in global affairs. and in what countries will do, they will simply, they will simply and trying to understand was rush he's doing. and they will understand that rush, he's not going to oppose anyone rush, he's seeking and seeking friendly relationship, relationship based on a mutual respect and mutual trust. let's take this further on the program. joining us now ralph ne, my a chairman of a german council, a constitution on sovereignty. joining us now from munich, a very will welcome to use our has been a busy day with the russian president vladimir putin did. you have a chance to listen to his speech. yes, well, thank you very much. most of all, i did listen and what i grabbed from it is frightening to, to say the least because now we are entering the new phase of a direct confrontation between nato and russia. of course that was foreseeable and
10:12 am
we are not surprised as it happens, but nevertheless, i can say i'm quite shocked to hear that. i mean to start tre teeth. anybody was dead. you have to go back to the i enough tracy and that has been signed 1987. i think it was december, december 9th, 1997. and i remember i was there as a young journalist and i asked the president gorbachev at that time. i said it's the code was over and he said, oh yeah, it should be over. and i asked president dragon also signed. and he said, yeah, the cold war must be over. but who want to go? and they both couldn't say to that, so it's clear now that i'm, that the treaty was withdrawn by the americans because they had new arms that they don't want to be inspected by anybody that would fall out to the ranch. and that's why they killed it in 2019 to, to kill to 2017. to start treaty. it doesn't make a huge difference,
10:13 am
but it shows where we are going. ralph, let's, let's address some of what the russian president had to say today during his federal assembly address. he did say that a western leap, so trying to transform a local conflict of conflict in, in ukraine into that of a global one. what, what's ralph? what's your view on that? well, it is a global conflict already. i mean, deploy ukrainian people. i feel sorry for each one of them. they are all human beings as we are so on their territory. and terrible war was ignited in 2014, which also general secretary, secretary, hadn't mentioned us saying the law in ukraine did not stop on the 24th of february 2022. that us the narrative they wanted to tell us. everyone knows what was on for a long time that it is used as a platform for. ready and international war that is now very ca is and
10:14 am
heading to us use of nuclear arms. i believe that we are entering the same phase as we had 963, with the cuban missile crisis. i mean, at the end, you just minutes away from someone having to push the button and that we don't want to say, but i feel we are going to it's a certainly, i mean, i think you make a very good point. it is profoundly disturbing, as today's leaders are supposed to be the ones with a cool ahead that's posted, the ones who are governing piece around the world. and it seems like too many of these leaders are not, not shooting for piece at all. i wanted to ask you, you know, when it comes to the minced peace accords anglo merkel, the former german transfer, she's admitted that actually it was all the bit of a scam that the minister courts simply to give times new crane to arm up for a possible war frontal on the former french president, he admitted the same thing, the former ukrainian president of shank. oh, they all admitted the minced record. what nonsense. and yet putin seemingly in good
10:15 am
faith trusted his western professional part as let me ask you this, ralph, we're hearing statements today coming out of the ukraine in the wake of food and speech today. ukraine. some people saying that the war will and when you cranium tanks roll on red square and russia will be defeated in 12 months. i mean, do you think they have a roadmap for this, or is it in some kind of way wishful thinking will fall or not? because this will cannot be if you think that this would have preemptive nuclear strikes involved. i don't think that russia, whatever that someone marshall 100 red square or any, any other territorial move without permission. so that won't happen. but i think what is happening right now is everyone is showing his big stick in the forest now, and they have to show it to each other and say ok, we are ready. and the other side is also saying, we are ready that just
10:16 am
a moment after this escalation can only be peace negotiations. and you mentioned dimension to agreement. i witnessed that as a journalist as well in 2015. and i had many interviews with many ministers who participated on the russian as well as your grand side, as well as the german side. and i remember that there were 4 key articles that agreement article for us saying that the ease done, ukrainian republics would have autonomy that could self determine that they want to live. and i would want to know that an article 8, for instance, that, that they would be centralized ukraine. so like federated and older being done. and article 11, for instance, of the ministry agreement said the key of what would the suspenders payments to, to lots of republics, there in all of these conditions. very beneficial to the people of eastern ukraine
10:17 am
. and there was no need for them to break away. but someone to pay don't that, and that was the plan. obviously the civil bought it from there had been launched by the kid regine. and that's leading to the international conflict that we see now . that was the story before that we are in the and phase of it, and it can only be a 2nd or 3rd. now 3rd minsk agreement. let's call it to go back. that would have been negotiated or ralph, let's, let's address all of these western sanctions against russia. we've just had, i think the 10th tranche announced that there'll be an 11th and 12th 13th, and they'll just keep on going in any way they can. but peter said during his speech today that in 2022 the russian government profited nearly $33000000000.00 despite weston sanctions. noting that the rubel even strengthened, certainly today against the dollar in the, in the euro. so in all of these western sanctions,
10:18 am
guess what the russian economy is in the green apparently is doing really, really well. why no mention of that today from the western press? well, at the same time, germany state then use that we are facing the major recession. and that is because of sanctions because of the energy crisis that we provoked ourselves. and also because the americans want to de, industrialize us. so we have now, let's call it an economic war against germany as well by the americans on the territory of ukraine and military lies against russia. of course, that's much worse, but we are losing our economy here. so the sanctions suit and 2 feet here, and that is what we come up and you know longer. i don't believe that they will continue doing that on good. but we have to come to our sensors now the sanction
10:19 am
started in 2015. and do you remember that this was no 2014 actually at the premier prices are up. the and mrs. merkel at that time didn't want to impose sanctions. that would hum to german histories. and then the few weeks later, they shut down of a major 17 to slide from amsterdam to malaysia. that's brought to them to introduce the 1st pac control sanctions also again, so own industries. phase 2, but we are declining. russia is making profit from it that can't go on forever. and that's why we say we have to stop the sanctions regimen immediately. and we also need to talk about serenity, because we are not 7. what dmitri test of just said is absolutely right. we have us on state, we are still occupied, but united states of america and ramstein and there's the big damage. and they are conducting all the war against everybody, enough count on iraq and syria,
10:20 am
and also the new great. there wouldn't be any war possible without germany in the center of it. a dentist very sad to say, well look, america had the war on drugs in the 8th, where the reagan administration caught belongs to basically invade any country in the world because they have drugs. then you have the war on terror and what is terra? i mean, you know, i don't want to get into it. ralph, you mentioned makes 17 a few moments ago. just just quickly. the tragedy of m. h. 70 and getting shot down of east ukraine. i was working that story and, and i remember, i remember washington saying we have the radar tracking radar footage proving that this miss aisle came from russia, but we're just not going to publish it. we're not going to show you any of this because it didn't, it didn't come from russia and they pin the whole bloody thing on russia and then sanctioned moscow as well. just briefly, ralph, talk to me about nordstrom, nordstrom crucial gas, the backbone of european industry. how detrimental is it for germany and europe as
10:21 am
a whole, to have relations with russia? well, in effect, destroyed yet because when we don't have enough energy from russia, we can't replace it, probably not fully. and secondly, not quickly. and that's why the german can i make it fast office, which is an institution. and andrea, they published yesterday the news, but i said germany faced major recession because of the lack of energy doesn't have to come in 2023 and 24. so. busy we are not through it yet. we had to management. so we save some gas, but we have 2 pi locked and have new filter. new gas tanks full of storage us in the next few months as we don't know where to get it from. if not from russia, ralph named maya chairman of the german council for constitutional sovereignty with a commentary, you just won't hear anywhere on the mainstream media. thank you very much for your time. we appreciate that. thank you very much. now the involvement of the united
10:22 am
states and the conflict in ukraine by sending weapons has prompted the russian foreign ministry to summon the american ambassador in moscow by the american diplomatic mission. head has been told to show up and explain the sabotage of the north stream pipelines with russia noting that washington needs to stay out of the way as moscow wants that the united states must provide explanations about the explosions on the nord stream, one in nord stream to gas pipelines and not interfere with an object of investigation to identify those responsible. meanwhile, the former us marine and whistleblowers sent us a letter from a nato officer who prefer to remain incognito of a phase of possible retribution. but the source described a u. s. naval crew that fit the description and location of those who could have committed the sabotage of russia's gnawed stream pipelines in the baltic c. i had
10:23 am
a leading the administration role in the june 22 bought offs. military exercises near boar and 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 diving 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 replaced, but to an entirely different location. after the exercise was over and they returned almost all of their pelicans were missing. well, earlier john, my dog and i joined my colleague what i me me in the studio to discuss the letter and what was revealed. now he said the sabotage of the notary pipelines essentially amounted to a terror attack. and washington has no intention, mean time of pursuing peace in ukraine. i have a history of getting some very exposed documents and keeping them secret in keeping
10:24 am
my sources secret back. that's why had to come to russia because the u. s. government wanted to do my secrets, my sources for postings. when i was living in the u. s, 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 that a war crime, but this one of the worst ecological disasters ever created by man. it's basically a terrorist deck they, they 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'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
10:25 am
tax dollars and how it is being spent? and let me, there's a certain aspect of people that do know, but this is leigh sites. a lot of people's livelihoods in america. do you think they 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. he had the biological labs, the victoria newland 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, 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,
10:26 am
but it is happening. i think it's very important that's bring you some news now from turkey. were 6 people that are portly killed 300 injured, just the latest that have earthquakes that struck the country monday night. the present, as we know the coast in the south of the country with shaking felt across the border in syria. and also, i should say as far away as egypt, israel and libya. the . this was showing some of the moments when the earthquake hit and the aftermath, the largest one was registered in magnitude 6.4 on the richter scale became just over 2 weeks after a series of devastating earthquakes in southern and northern syria, which left more than 40000 people that the following video was taken of an airport in the high problem with people running and panic, there's a terminal was struck by tremors. there also been reports of
10:27 am
a number of flights being cancelled. we got to 1st time to count the situation from a local resident who felt the quakes several 100 kilometers away from the center. the worst parts we cannot bag sure in our routine. like really the 2 big bag before which we had to get through. it has been 2 weeks. we were trying to get back to our roots in life, but we shake again. we had to earthquake again. you know, here is not plugged into chaos because you know, what is the 1st thing in the world? maybe in my opinion, that the think which you don't know what to do. you feel desperate you don't. you don't feel safe at your own house. now we again left the houses. now we are in a cafe, which is one florida. and we are now dirt. it's, i think the cap is just about 100 people, but i think at least or 200 people would who don't know what to do. now,
10:28 am
when we sit on a table and small, you know, once somebody, it's your like table when it's taking like it's been, again, a geology professor artist on both technical university says that the region is basically experiencing off the shocks from the massive initial quakes from a couple of weeks ago and the region will continue to do so for quite some time. the crisis is not over yet there because these are massive folk traits dead braga, like $500.00 formatives long sections of the, of the, of the fall in total and, and effecting increasing stress on new by false, not only out die, but the other falls to the north to the northeast and, 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. we never know it,
10:29 am
it will thank 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 falls 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 nice, like over 54000 people across the border and syria remained worried about the risk of fell the tremors. while the exact number of casualties from the most recent shaking in the country is not yet known. a serious ambassador to russia emphasize that the middle eastern country is suffering, but not only from the earthquakes. we have been suffering from a, from a to earthquakes. the 1st one lasted for 30 minutes, as you know,
10:30 am
the last one, which resulted in thousands of death. and thousands of wounded people, but there is another earthquake, which has been hitting celia for the last 12 years. and here, i mean the her 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 these so called to 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.
